How Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait Works
Avert Dry Flowable clings to roach bodies when they walk through it. The powder is later ingested when the roaches preen themselves. The active ingredient Abamectin B1 interferes with the insect's nerve impulses and begins affecting cockroach populations within 24 hours. This type of insecticide allows the cockroach time to return to the colony, where the insecticide can be passed to other cockroaches, which minimizes reproduction and ultimately reduces and controls the population.
Target Pests
PESTS CONTROLLED: Ants, Booklice, Carpet Beetles, Cockroaches (including carbamate, organophosphate, organochlorine and pyrethroid resistant strains), Crickets, Drugstore Beetles, Earwigs, Flour Beetles, Grain Weevils, Pillbugs and Sowbugs
Target Uses of Avert Dry Flowable Roach Bait
Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait is guaranteed effective up to one year, making it a great economical choice. The powder formula can also be easily applied deep into cracks, crevices, and wall voids where other gels and baits don't reach. This makes Avert Dry Flowable a great choice for areas at high risk of infestations or re-introductions, especially since bait can be applied in hidden areas where roaches can find it before having the chance to establish a population. Avert Dry Flowable has the formulation and low application rates of dusts paired with the speed and transfer affect of baits. The enclosed crack and crevice tool also makes application easy as no other equipment is needed to apply. Be sure to eliminate water sources since this is a dry bait (also consider using it in conjunction with a gel bait).
Avert Dry Flowable's labeling does not exclude any roaches, and it includes additional pests like ants, earwigs, pantry pests, and carpet beetles, making it a great choice in any Integrated Pest Management program. Baits are also always a great choice in areas where the use of sprays is prohibited or undesirable. (Do not apply sprays on top of Avert or in areas where Avert will be applied.)
ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Abamectin 0.05%
Application Instructions
The closer you can put the bait to where cockroaches live and breed, the more likely they are to consume it. Avert Dry Flowable is intended for application with the supplied hand duster to hiding and runway areas and those places where pests are found. Apply insecticide directly into cracks and crevices. Apply lightly and uniformly to infested areas. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices; service ducts; false floors and ceilings; wall voids; around electrical and telephone fittings and equipment; around water and sewer pipes; under and behind cabinets, refrigerators and sinks; around window and door frames; and in attics and crawl spaces. The amount to be applied will vary with the site. Concentrate treatment at insect activity sites. For light infestations, a minimum of 4 - 6 bait points is recommended per 100 sq. feet of treatment area. For heavy infestations, a minimum of 12 - 24 bait points is recommended per 100 sq. feet of treatment area. Inspect bait placements and reapply when necessary.
To Apply
* Follow the instructions (found in the plastic bag) for inserting the plastic extension tube into the Avert Dry Flowable hand duster.
· Let the hand duster lie across your fingers with your palm facing upward. Place your thumb in the middle of the tube or over the "R" in Avert. While holding the hand duster parallel to the floor and pointed away from you, begin to lightly shake the tube.
· Continue to shake the tube between each "puff" to keep the powder in an airborne state.
· For your first application, give the tube a few quick shakes, then a light but firm press of the thumb.
· As the tube of Avert Dry Flowable starts to empty, you will gradually begin tilting it more and more downward. By following the shaking technique and the "parallel-to-gradual-tilting" of tube technique, you will be using Avert Dry Flowable at its peak efficiency.
*Always read the product label completely before use.
Each 30 g tube yields approximately 200 bait placements.
Standard Application Rates:
*4-6 bait placements per 100 sq. ft. – moderate infestations
*12-24 bait placements per 100 sq. ft. – heavy infestations

This stuff works. Lost our house and due to now bad credit had to move into a crappy old apartment building. Turns out it had cockroaches and the Orkin guy that they have on contract is a joke. Being an old apartment builidng not sure how bad the infestation was. In the matter of sheer numbers, would only see maybe a couple at a time, but would also see them during the day which is a sign of a bad infestation. Also they were not treating the other apartments because no one fessed up to having them. Total BS. Anway, tried some gel baits from Home Depot and home remedies found on google. Was only seeing one or two a week by that time, but could not live with the fact that they were still there. After hours of internet research over several weeks, finally came across Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait. Just sorry this treatment didn't pop up in my google results at the beginning! Great price and it arrived a day ahead of schedule. I used this in every conceivable crack or whole in this crappy apartment. I had seem them coming out of the molding in my sons bedroom as well as the door frames of the laundry room and bathroom in addition to the obvious spots in the kitchen. It comes with a little straw (think DW-40) and you just squeeze it in all the cracks and crevices. I took off every outlet cover and stuck it way in the wall and sprayed there. That was 2 1/2 weeks ago and I have not seen a cockroach dead or alive since!! Thank you AVERT! The product is supposed to be effective up to a year or more.

Without a doubt the finest roach inhibitor available. Works in small, hard to get areas and, when used in conjunction with "Avert" liquid, rids the area completely regardless of the degree of infestation.

Averted most of the roaches!!!

It is wonderful to be able to walk into the kitchen and not start chasing roaches with my fly swatter. The very next day I could see a big difference. They are mostly all gone now but I am going to bait them again to be sure. Wonderful stuff, this Avert!

By Diona in Clute, Texas on 05/09/2011

WOW!!! I cannot say enough about this product or this site. Product received just a couple of days after order placed. One tube was more than enough to treat my 4 bedroom, 2 bath home. I tried so many different products before: foggers, sprays, some gel stuff that turned a weird color and was hard to remove later, concentrated powder you mix that was supposed to be "professional strength". None of them combined has worked as well as the Avert did to get rid of German roaches and even a few of the large tree roaches! The next day after treatment I started seeing dead roaches, and each day since I have found more dead ones. I have seen less and less live activity and what little I've seen appears to be coming from areas I didn't treat initially (the attic and the garage area). It took a little practice to figure out how to get the powder to come out, but it was so easy to squeeze/blow into the tiniest cracks. Such a relief to finally find something that actually WORKS! I spent so much money on cheaper products, wish I had found out about this first! Plus, the DoMyOwnPestControl.com site was easy to find the information I needed, easy to place the order, and I received it quickly. Highly recommend!!!

I used Avert as instructed. The first few days we saw roaches in cabinets we had never seen them in before. By day 3 no more roaches anywhere! I couldn't be happier. It has been over a week now and still no roaches. This is a great product that I would recommend to everyone. The roaches we had were German Roaches.

German Cockroach Control
By Charlie in Phoenix, AZ on 11/17/2015
My son moved home from College and moved several items home. He found some German cockroaches in his items that we killed and thought the end. 3-4 weeks later Began finding in Kitchen drawers, sink, etc. Bought Avert and did entire kitchen area and after 1 week have not seen any. Don't know what else it works on because we have no insects in house but worked on German Cockroach.

We were desperate to find some pest control for our rental that had a severe German cockroach infestation. We tried our usual go to chemical, Demon, which we've used for years, but it didn't help. We sprayed & fogged several times. The nasty critters were NOT phased. Then I went online, watched the videos on the Invict & Avert Flowable bait along with Gentrol Point Source and ordered. Shipped in 3 days. Used it as per the video instructions and NO MORE ROACHES! We will see how long it works but it was worth it. I highly recommend these products... and also order the plunger gun to use for the bait.

Excellent product for German Roaches.
By Jane in WPB, Florida on 10/06/2015
I worked for several years in the profession, and my advice to all of my customers was 'be careful what you bring into your house, because you could be bringing in someone else's problems' (meaning Roaches). So what do I go and do? Yep, I was given a beautiful Macaw Parrot and his cage and never thought once about my advice from when I was 'a bug lady'!! The tubular structure of his cage was infested with Germans!! OMG! Because you have to be very careful with what you use.around birds, I went with my old stand-by from earlier days. I had seen them and gotten the cage treated pronto, but I wanted to make 'double sure' with the Avert. If it doesn't get wet or wiped off it is good for a very long time - just in case I forget my own advice again! Avert is easy to apply, very low odor and best of all, really effective at taking care of German and American Roaches issues.
Excellent Product
By Edna in Los Angeles , Ca. on 09/21/2015
Avert has been a blessing. The product gave me quick results at an affordable price. The company is very professional ...I have recommended to other income property owners.

A powerful storm system crossed the Southern Plains on February 20, 2012, producing high winds and blowing dust across much of western Texas. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image at 19:30 UTC (1:30 p.m. CST) on that same day. The primary dust plume partially obscures portions of Palo Duro Canyon.
The National Weather Service (NWS) reported wind gusts as high as 63 mph and visibilities in the blowing dust of a mile at times at the Lubbock airport. Along roadways passing nearby open fields the visibility was reduced to less than 100 feet. West Texas Mesonet also reported Severe Wind Gusts throughout the panhandle. The blowing dust and winds caused several accidents, including causing several high-profile vehicles to turn over.

Thursday was Give to the Max Day at www.GiveMN.org and Minnesotans indeed gave to the max: collectively the community raised $16.3 million for more than 4,000 nonprofits across the state.
Some 53,339 individuals donated via GiveMN.org, an innovative online resource seeking to change the way Minnesotans give and help create a stronger nonprofit community.
Now in its fourth year, GiveMN.org uses a web platform to help nonprofit organizations of all sizes reach new donors, increase giving through fun and engaging campaigns and significantly reduce fundraising costs. The day helps individuals find, learn and contribute to Minnesota non-profits, facilitates quick and easy online donations and organizes charitable contributions in one location. Last year, it raised over $13 million.
This year, Springboard for the Arts, which works to cultivate a strong arts community in St. Paul, raised over $115,000 from nearly 1,400 donors.
GiveMN.org is a program of the Saint Paul Foundation/Minnesota Community Foundation and was sponsored in part by Knight Foundation, along with The Mosaic Company and Youthprize.

Countries have found all sorts of ways to make their opposition to Russia's draconian anti-gay laws clear, but this is certainly the most amusing approach.
Norwegian sporting goods chain XXL has managed to get an advert go viral with their effort poking fun at Russia's approach to homosexuality.
In the commercial, male athletes from a vast array of different winter sports attempt to vie for a lady's attention in a variety of very creative, sport-influenced ways.
While the tall brunette struts through an airport, objects are thrown, jumps are made and any number of attention-seeking methods are employed - all in vain.
What ensues is an ending that no one will expect as the woman walks straight out of the airport and into an embrace with her female partner.
With a helicopter awaiting the pair, the pro-gay commercial highlights the partnership as both attractive and natural.
What do you make of the advert? Do you think it's a justified and humorous way of highlighting opposition to Russia's anti-gay laws or is it inappropriate and unhelpful? Post your views below...

How the Kings Saga Elevated Journalism in Sacramento
It was a sunny Saturday morning in Orlando, Florida and Rob McAllister thought he'd take some time to relax after a tiring, cross country trip. He was taking in the sun poolside before starting a big weekend of covering the February 2012 NBA All Star game and talks between the NBA, David Stern, the Maloofs and Mayor Kevin Johnson on the future of the Sacramento Kings. But as he sat there trying to soak in the warm Florida sun, a nagging devil appeared on his shoulder: "What are you doing lying around when you should be chasing down David Stern and a story?"
Rob told me that nagging editor in his conscience was me. He left the pool, hailed a taxi and tracked down Stern at a private meeting in an Orlando hotel room. Rob got his jackpot when Stern emerged and gave him an exclusive statement. Meantime, a dozen or so Sacramento reporters who also made the trip to Orlando were standing outside another hotel, the Ritz-Carlton, with their tri pods and TV cameras set up, waiting for Stern or anyone from the NBA to come talk to them. They got nothing, and weren't too happy when Rob broke ranks and went to get the story on his own.
For me, that was the turning point in the journalism competition in the Kings saga. From then on, reporters knew if they wanted to get new information, they'd have to get it themselves.
A year earlier on January 11, 2011, KFBK and McAllister broke the blockbuster story about how the Kings were secretly in talks to move the team to Anaheim. I was his editor on the story and also talked to the very credible source. But could we bask in the glory of breaking such major news? No. Because for six long weeks, most of Sacramento and the news media refused to believe it until Stern himself confirmed it at the NBA All Star game in Los Angeles in February 2011.
From the point where Stern said the Maloofs were trying to move the Kings, the media frenzy began. Reporters, sports writers and anchors tried to get any tidbit of information they could. But there wasn't much being released. Mayor Johnson was blindsided and had to scramble to concoct a game plan. The Maloofs weren't talking. The NBA released little info except possible meeting dates. The Sacramento media was desperately chasing a story that provided little information. It got ugly at times, with some reporters taking other reporters' info and not crediting them. Too many reporters yelled "Exclusive!" when they really didn't have one.
The news media in Sacramento had to learn how to compete on a higher level.
I started my journalism career as a newspaper reporter in the No. 1 New York market. Next I was a reporter and editor for The Associated Press in the No. 2 media market of Los Angeles where I had to compete against reporters from more than 100 news agencies. It always has and still bothers me that Sacramento is a one newspaper and one news radio town. It's not The New York Daily News versus The New York Post. It's not KCBS against KGO. Both longtime news rivalries. Competition makes you better. Makes you hungrier. Sharpens your skills. News competition serves the citizens better. After helping break the Kings story, I took everything I learned working in those major media markets to try and advance it, as did everyone else.
After the Maloofs backed out of the tearful agreement in Orlando, the game was on. What was next? Sacramento reporters began their own, independent full court press to get the story.
It was hard to beat the hard-digging Sacramento Bee guys -- Ryan Lillis, Tony Bizjak and Dale Kasler. I was envious The Bee could dedicate three of its reporters to the story full time. And they dug hard, uncovering the financial terms of the team and the city; detailing Kings suitor Chris Hansen's big money gamble and chronicling Sacramento's desperate effort to keep the team.
The team at News 10 was also impressive. Ryan Yamamoto, Brian May, Nick Monacelli and Sean Cunningham covering the story 24/7 was also hard to beat. They were at every game possible and snagging anyone who would comment on the situation. Jim Crandell of Fox 40 was also a force, using every connection and source he made in his more than 20 years in the Sacramento sports and news market to bring fresh information on the story. We even got competition from our rivals in Seattle, such as King TV's Chris Daniels, who had the inside track on Chris Hansen.
But then the journalism whales got involved. Big national writers weighed in and changed the game even more. Sam Amick of USA Today Sports, with a deep Rolodex from his time at the Sac Bee, AOL Fanhouse and Sports Illustrated, broke many scoops. As did David Aldridge of TNT, Ken Berger of CBS Sports, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports and Aaron Bruski of NBC Sports.
Suddenly, Sacramento reporters weren't competing among themselves. They were going up against some of the best, toughest sports writers in the U.S. who had deep inside sources cultivated over years of covering the league.
"It was a rare story where we were competing with national writers on a daily basis," said The Bee's Ryan Lillis. "You were in competition with very large, very respected (sports) news organizations."
Amick told me the story had many intriguing levels to merit national interest.
"It's a national story for the Kings, Charlotte or any relocation of a franchise," Amick said.
And it wasn't just a story about relo.
"It had so many subplots. David versus Goliath. Hansen's money. Seattle," he said.
And for anyone covering the NBA, the enigmatic David Stern was personally involved. Reporters hung on his every slow-spoken crafted word, struggling to determine or analyze if they had a hidden meaning.
From Sacramento to New York, reporting got better. Reporters no longer waited for news conferences and press releases to get new information. They pursued the story individually and as a team. They worked day and night trying to develop sources. They dug and dug until they discovered new info. They traveled to cities like Orlando and Seattle and Anaheim and NBA meetings in New York and Dallas. And if one reporter got a big scoop, it only motivated the rest to try even harder.
The writing got better. The information got stronger. The reporting was more in depth. In the end, the Sacramento community benefited from the most comprehensive coverage on a story that affected the entire region. And against sometimes insurmountable odds, a community rallied and saved its team.
"You will untimately be defined by the sum total of your responses to circumstances, situations and events that you probably couldn't anticipate and indeed probably couldn't even imagine. So just keep your eyes on the course and be ready to move in different directions depending upon the crises and opportunities with which you are faced," -- David Stern.
It was a wild, roller coaster of a story with the future of a city at stake. Chaotic, dramatic and constantly changing. If we got new information one minute we took the risk it could change the next. But Sacramento journalists rose to the challenge from our competitors. We witnessed journalism at its best. And a city united.

News 12 First at Five, September 18, 2007
AUGUSTA, Ga.---More and more cities across the nation are turning their eyes toward the Jena 6 including people right here in Augusta. Paine College administrators are preparing for a field trip to Louisiana. But this is no regular school trip. "This is really about youth activism," said Sean Palmer, director of student activities.
A team of twenty students will join fifty thousand people headed to Jena, Louisiana. "Not only just going, but also participating in some events that shape them, shape their world view here, helps them be a better more contributing person when they leave this environment," Palmer said.
Jena, Louisiana is a mostly white town at the center of what some call a racial firestorm that was ignited when a black student sat under a tree where whites traditionally gathered. A day later, three nooses were found hanging from the tree. It was written off as a practical joke.
That decision spurred racial fights at the school that ended in an attack on a young white teen, and left six black teens charged with assault, facing years in prison. Elias Etinge, dean of student affairs says, "The legal system is funny, somebody can get seven years for murder and here young children are being threatened for 15 years for fighting."
James Reid is chief of campus police at Paine. He will accompany the students. "If we fail to address the issue in Jena effectively and collectively as one body to speak out against the injustices, eventually, it will come visit you at your front door," Reid said. "The Bible teaches to let justice rain down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream. We're going in the spirit of Christ to do that which is just for those who have been treated unjustly."
Etinge says there is at least one lesson to be learned. "If it can happen over in Louisiana, guess what, it can happen here in Augusta."
Gloria Williams-Way, NAACP campus adviser, says of the case, "It's racist because the penalty simply does not fit the crime."
"The students from Paine College are headed to Louisiana because they feel that if justice is threatened for anyone, anywhere, then justice is really threatened for all people everywhere," she continued.
Palmer says, "It would be a disservice not to be involved in something as monumental as the treatment of six young men who are definitely feeling the blows of prejudice."
Reverend Larry Fryer calls this a pivotal time in our nation's history. "We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal, and when something like this occurs it upsets the founding fathers' mission and dream in our Constitution."

Charity web roundup 14 June 2013
Here's a quick roundup of what we've been reading (and writing) this week:
NonProfit Infographic of the week
Our favourite Infographic this week was one by non profit hub 'Online Fundraising is the Future', Andy had some comments about using the info as part of an integrated comms strategy:
"In my experience, the most helpful way to engage with this challenge is to spend time joining the dots. What causes what? This is very linked to the 'why?' question. Lots of people will tell you things you should be doing, like having a facebook page, or a Google Plus page, or segmented email campaigns. But until you understand why you engage in these activities the chances are you will never feel comfortable in your choices."

Your charity website needs more than a 'go-to geek'
I really liked this post by @jaywilk from FireSpring.org ~ Obviously we are going to find it pretty difficult to disagree with that statement being a digital agency for charities but there are some really good points and well made - having a go-to geek is a real bonus but it is worth thinking about how their involvement helps you the most - their opinion and steer could be a lot more useful than their actual hands on involvement...
"I'm going to state the obvious here: Having an online presence is non-negotiable. We all know that embracing the internet is crucial in a world where people are connected 24/7.
"Still, organizations struggle with the web and, in particular, their nonprofit website. In fact, of the 90% of nonprofits that are online, nearly 3/4ths designed their website in-house or use something that's been donated by a volunteer or public agency."

Face-to-face fundraising - worth the reputational risk?
This piece in the Guardian came out just this morning:
"Attitudes to fundraising frequently divide both the charitable sector and the public. If it's not the admin costs, it's the fact that fundraisers are paid for the volume of appeals. And nothing quite raises the heckles like face-to-face fundraising (F2F)."
Andy wrote a blog post along the same lines a few months back (Face to face fundraising: right or wrong?) so could not resist popping a comment in - the chugging debate is still very much on so please do drop us a comment if you have an opinion.
'The Interwebs' turns one year old
My other blog 'The Interwebs' Digital tips and tools for the non profit sector turned one yesterday, I posted earlier this week about why using Disqus for comments on your site is a good idea. We almost always use Disqus for comments on the sites we build - find out why.

Legendary underground comic book artist Harvey Pekar passed away earlier this week at the age of seventy. The Cleveland, Ohio native was most famous for his autobiographical comic book series, American Splendor, which was often illustrated by friends and fellow comic book legends, such as Robert Crumb and Alan Moore. Harvey Pekar's writing was loved by fans for his humorous look at a dull and raw reality.
In 2003, Pekar's life and comic book, American Splendor, was adapted into an Oscar-nominated feature film starring Paul Giamatti, who referred to Harvey Pekar as "one of the most compassionate and empathetic human beings I've ever met. He had a huge brain and an even bigger soul. And he was hilarious. He was a great artisit, a true American poet, and there is no one to replace him."

Here is the statement from Senator John Cornyn (sent to me by FNC Kara Rowland):
Cornyn: Legislation To Restore Death Benefits To Families Of Fallen Heroes More Than 'Necessary' – It's Our Moral Obligation
Statement Comes On Heels Of White House Spokesman Calling Bill "Not Necessary"
WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, today issued the following statement in response to comments made by White House Spokesman Jay Carney that legislation passed unanimously by Congress to restore halted death benefits to the families of fallen services members is "not necessary:"
"While the damage cannot be fully undone, Congress has spoken and acted in a bipartisan way to rectify the outrageous treatment the families of our fallen heroes received this week. Now, we're learning the President has taken his political obstinacy to a new low and believes the legislation Congress has passed to right this wrong is 'not necessary.'
"Not only is this legislation necessary it's the moral obligation of this nation and it's the spoken will of Congress that we deliver immediate assistance to the families of fallen service members.
"I call on the President to sign this necessary legislation without delay. Anything less would represent dereliction of duty by our commander in chief."
Earlier today, the Senate passed the House-approved H.J. Res. 91, the Honoring the Families of Fallen Soldiers Act. Sen. Cornyn called up the bill in the Senate and succeeded in passing it. The Honoring the Families of Fallen Soldiers Act reinstates benefits for surviving family members, including the death gratuity payment, funeral and burial expenses, travel expenses, the dignified transfer of remains, and a housing allowance.
Senator Cornyn serves on the Finance and Judiciary Committees. He serves as the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee's Immigration, Refugees and Border Security subcommittee. He served previously as Texas Attorney General, Texas Supreme Court Justice, and Bexar County District Judge.

Coconut and Lemon Tea Cake
So I'm a massive fan of this cake. Tiana gave me the idea to make something with coconut and lemon because she is currently a little bit obsessed with the flavour combination. Which is great for me because I get to bake delicious goods that I've never made before, and even though she's gallivanting overseas at the moment, I'm sure she would love it too. Sorry Tiana, but this was delicious! If you ice the cake when it is still a little bit warm and eat it straight away, you'll be in total heaven. This cake is a little bit smaller than usual, about half the size, just double it if you like, and bake for about 40 minutes.
What you'll need
1 1/4 cups plain flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder
100g unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste, or extract
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1 tbs lemon rind
2 tbs lemon juice
For the Icing
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 cup icing sugar
2 tbs water
1 tbs lemon juice
1 tsp lemon rind
What to do
Preheat oven to 170C or 160C fan forced. Grease a 20 cm cake tin.
With a beater, mix butter, egg, vanilla and sugar until combined and it becomes a slightly paler colour
Mix half of the sifted flour, baking powder and milk with a wooden spoon until combined
Repeat with the remaining flour, milk etc. but add the lemon rind, lemon juice, desiccated coconut and milk until combined.
Spoon into cake tin and flatten with spoon.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes then invert onto wire rack to cool slightly.
For the icing, combine the icing sugar, lemon juice, lemon rind and water in a bowl.
Pour the icing onto the cake. then sprinkle with shredded coconut.
Serve warm with double cream and a cup of tea. Delicious.
Hope you enjoy,

Assistant Fire Chief Ruben Brown has been named fire chief by Greenville Mayor John Cox.
Cox said Brown was one of three candidates who interviewed before the city council Monday. Cox announced Brown's selection Tuesday.
Brown said he will begin serving as chief on Feb. 1. He served with the fire department for 20 years.
Brown said his main goal as chief is to be more aggressive on fire prevention while combating the high number of arson fires. He said he wants to create an arson task force with two fire marshals, the state fire marshal and police investigators.
Fire Chief Lee Gordon's last day is Jan. 31, marking 25 years with the department. Gordon spent the past five years as acting as chief.

Harvey Ozer, Ph.D.
Normal mammalian cells can be propagated in cell culture for only a limited time, eventually ceasing to proliferate ("senescence"). This phenomenon is a model for the cellular basis of human aging. On the other hand, cancer cells grow continuously in culture (and in the animal) and have overcome senescence; that is, they are "immortal". Hence replicative senescence is a mechanism of protection against cancer. We have been studying human diploid fibroblasts (HF) to understand the mechanism of multi-step carcinogenesis ("transformation") of such cells in culture and its effect on cellular aging. We have found that introduction of genes from the DNA tumor virus SV40 allows us to identify two key steps in this process. The SV40-encoded T antigens induce several changes in growth properties in HF but additional changes in cellular gene(s) are required for immortalization. We have isolated a matched series of clonally derived SV40-transformed HF with pre-immortal and immortal growth phenotypes, permitting the direct test of hypotheses concerning biochemical and genetic bases for immortalization of human cells. We have also mapped a specific chromosome rearrangement on chromosome 6 in different cell lines which is directly associated with immortalization. We are currently examining candidate genes (designated SEN6) based on their known location at 6q27. Chromosome rearrangements is this region have also been reported in several types of human cancer, suggesting that SEN6 is also involved in their development as well.

Well, hello, old rival, Wittenberg University.
It's me, Marietta College.
It had been awhile.
Article Photos
The Wittenberg team walks off the court following Saturday's game.
How long had it been, 1988-89?
It almost seems, though, like when we last squared off on the hardwood, Moses was wearing short pants.
If I recall, you beat me, 77-51, in the Ohio Athletic Conference tournament, and then afterwards split for the North Coast Athletic Conference.
Article Links
Hey, that was your right. It's a free country.
Can't really say that I missed you that much, though - until of course Saturday night. I mean, in the all-time men's basketball series, you own a commanding advantage, 67-23, over me.
Heck, before Saturday night, I hadn't whipped you (76-72) since 1985-86 when Phil Roach was still wearing those madras plaid slacks, I think.
But, there we were Saturday night on my turf, Fenton Court, at Ban Johnson Arena, duking it out in a second round NCAA Division III Tournament game. You got there by knocking off La Roche (Pa.) 74-68 Friday, and I did the same by taking care of business against Centre (Ky.), 67-62.
Maybe, it was only fitting that two institutions of higher learning from the Buckeye State - as familiar as we are with each other - would be matched up in a showdown game like this.
Almost like old times, right?
Of course, it was do or die, and to be honest with you, I'm not shedding any tears, seeing you with your Tiger tail between your legs returning to Springfield after I rallied in the second half to beat you 63-62. Thirty-six years ago, you beat me 85-70 in the second round of the 1975 NCAA Tournament.
I know you've been to the NCAA dance many times before, but it's a new day here in Marietta. I'm pretty good, now, as you discovered, so I hope you wish me the best of luck for the rest of the journey.
Hope you fare well in your future endeavors on the court, too, and, hey, let's stay in touch - and no hand checking, either.
Twenty-plus years is way too long, old rival.
Why don't we think about hooking up again at the same time, same place next year?
I know, I know. Things have to fall in place.
But you've got to be positive about the situation, right?
By the way, wasn't that a game for the ages Saturday night? Even if I'd lost, I would've held my head high.
Just as you should.

For the past 4 weeks or so, I have had a pain in the muscle in the back of my leg (specifically from mid back of thigh to just below the back of my knee). It started out just as a muscle pain, coming and going, and I thought I pulled the muscle. Well, as I said, 4 weeks later, the pain is almost always constant with a sharp electrical feeling going down to my foot (by the way, my right leg). I can walk, but I definitely favor my right leg as it hurts to walk. Any comments or need more information? Thanks, LindaREAD MORE
Hi Linda,
I hope you've seen a doctor and had this fully checked by now, but let me reiterate what so many others have mentioned. Definitely talk to your doctor about this pain. It may be related to your RA, or it may be that you did injure the muscles in the back of your leg. Either way, the pain is something your doctor should know about. Best of luck to you!
Hello Linda and Jeanne:
Muscle aches and cramps are often a sign of overdoing a particular exercise. But in other cases, it is a vitamin/mineral deficiency. I had this problem as a teen until age 29 when I had my children and I found that glucosamine/chondroitin (1500mg a day) and cal/mag (500 calcium with magnesium) nipped it in the bud.
I am 55 now and haven't had this problem since six weeks afte starting the supplement. Give it a try for six weeks and see how it works out for you.
Regarding exercise and your leg complaint, warmup is absolutely necessary as is cooling down. The cal/mag is necessary whenever you are in any kind of an exercise routine.
Hope that helps,
AnneREAD MORE
Hi Anne, Thanks for writing back. I do have a severe Vitamin D deficiency (13.1) and I have severe restless leg symdrome. But this leg pain is relatively new and something I've never experienced before. When my D level gets back to normal, we'll see how my leg pain does. Have a good day. LindaREAD MORE
Hi there
I wanted to reply to you as that is how my problems started years ago and I really feel for you, I didn't realise that anything could be done about them varying pain and abnormal muscle tone but then I went to a physio, they really understand what is happening and will give you some stretch excercises to do these should help.
Don't push on and ignore it as you will only end up wih bad posture and problems with walking.
Remember we all have a right to a physio!
Take care.
Suse, Thank you!
Will try physio. Do you have any answers as to why the more I exercise the pain is worse? I thought it interesting you speaking of posture. I find it hard to stand up straight sometimes after running (even up the stairs) or riding my bike. It hurts and I am very shakey. I want to cry, but laughing is easier.
Thank you both!
JeannieREAD MORE
Hi Linda,
I have this issue also. Both of my legs are painful from the mid thigh to the top of the knee just like yours. Mine hurt especially severe after exercizing or riding my bike, which is a sight to see when a person cannot stand up straight.
I am writing to let you know you are not alone in this battle. I find having MS very frustrating when you grew up competitive skiing and skating, swimming and gymnastics. I want to find a cure so that others do not want to cry like I want to. Sharing this with my family is difficult. They do not understand. I am happy to have found web sites like these.READ MORE
Hi Jeannie,
(Funny - that's my sister's name). Anyway, I too was an athlete. I did mini marathons, track and field, and volleyball. Although that was 20-25 years ago. I joined a fitness center, but I'm afraid to do exercising since my leg hurts so bad. OR - maybe I should exercise - I don't know. Thanks for writing. LindaREAD MORE

Portable tool box and assorted modern hand tools
Hardware hand tools are used by craftsmen in manual operations, such as chopping, chiseling, sawing, filing, forging, and more. The date of the earliest tools is uncertain. Tools found in northern Kenya in 1969 maybe about 2,600,000 years old, and even older tools may remain to be discovered.
Tube Pressure Gauge
In 1849, the Bourdon tube pressure gauge was patented in France by Eugene Bourdon.
Chainsaws or Chain Saws (Also look under Saws below)
The history of the chain saw and the mystery of its invention.
Drills - Drill Chucks
Jacob's Chuck
A. I. Jacobs invented the first three jaw drill chuck, Jacob's Chuck. The Jacobs® Chuck Manufacturing Company was founded in 1902 by the inventor.
Martin Cherrington invented the horizontal
directional drilling in 1972.
"Let There Be Light" -- The flashlight was invented in 1898 and the biblical quote of "Let There Be Light" was on the cover of the 1899 Eveready catalog.
Hand Tools
Antiques Tools
Handheld hammer
A hammer is a tool designed for pounding or delivering repeated blows. The hand held hammer is an ancient invention no one inventor can be named. A hammer is distinguished by many other names, such as pounder, beetle, mallet, maul, pestle, sledge, and others.
Pneumatic Hammer
Charles Brady King of Detroit invented the pneumatic hammer (a hammer which is driven by compressed air) in 1890, which he patented on January 28, 1894. Charles King exhibited two of his inventions at the 1893 Worlds Columbia Exposition; a pneumatic hammer for riveting and caulking and a steel brake beam for railroad road cars.
Hydraulic Jack
Richard Dudgeon, Inc. was founded in New York City as a machine shop. In 1851, founder and inventor Richard Dudgeon was granted a patent for a "portable hydraulic press" - the hydraulic jack, a jack which proved to be vastly superior to the screw jacks in use at the time. In 1855, Richard Dudgeon astounded New Yorkers by driving from his home to his place of business in an innovative steam carriage. The noise and vibration generated by the "Red Devil Steamer" frightened horses so badly that city authorities confined it to one street. Although the inventor claimed the carriage could carry 10 people at 14 m.p.h. on one barrel of anthracite coal, it was too far ahead of its time and failed to gain popular favor. Other inventions attributed to Dudgeon include: roller boiler tube expanders, pulling jacks, filter press jacks, steam forging hammers, railroad lifting equipment, heavy plate hydraulic hole punches, and many types and sizes of lifting jacks.
Lawn Mowers
Lawn Mowers & Greener Pastures
The first patent for a "Machine for mowing lawns, etc." was granted to Edwin Beard Budding (1795-1846) from Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, on August 31, 1830.
Machine Tool - Hall of Fame
The American Precision Museum is the home of the Machine Tool Hall of Fame. It is an incredible collection of pictures and biographies of some of the leading figures in the development of the machine tool industry.
Paint Roller
The paint roller was invented by Norman Breakey of Toronto in 1940.
Pliers - Tongs, Pincers, Plyers
Simple pliers are an ancient invention - no one inventor can be named. Two sticks probably served as the first uncertain holders, but bronze bars may have replaced wooden tongs as early as 3000 BC.
Saws are toosl with a thin metal strip with teeth on one edge or a thin metal disk with teeth on the periphery. In 1777, Samuel Miller invented the circular saw in England, the round metal disk type of saw that cuts by spinning and is used hand-held or table-mounted. Large circular saws are found in saw mills and are used to produce lumber. In 1813, Shaker-Sister, Tabitha Babbitt (1784-1854) invented the first circular saw used in a saw mill. Babbitt was working in the spinning house at the Harvard Shaker community in Massachusetts, when she decided to invent an improvement to the two-man pit saws that were being used for lumber production. Tabitha Babbitt is also credited with inventing an improved version of cut nails, a new method of making false teeth, and an improved spinning wheel head.
In 1807, William Newberry invented
a band saw. In 1780, Gervinus also invented a circular saw, however,
a more primitive one.
Screws and Screwdrivers
Early Screws - Archimedes Screw - Phillips Head Screw - Robertson Screw - Square Drive Screws - Screwdriver
There is history behind this cutting invention.
Modern retractable metal tape measure
Tape Measure - Alvin J. Fellows - 1868
On July 14, 1868, Alvin J. Fellows of New Haven, CT patented the tape measure. Alvins measurements were 40-46-42.
Illustration: Modern handheld wrench
Wrenches, Monkey Wrench, Ratchetless Wrench
A wrench is also called a spanner, it's a tool, usually operated by hand, for tightening bolts and nuts. Solymon Merrick patented the first wrench in 1835.
Welding Tools and Welding History
In 1885, Nikolai Benardos and Stanislav Olszewski were granted a patent for an electric arc welder with a carbon electrode called the Electrogefest. Benardos and Olszewski are considered the inventors of welding apparatus.

|Senator George Mitchell to Speak at USD

|mwagoner, at sandiego.edu
|Contact Phone
|(619) 260-4659
The University of San Diego's Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice will host Senator George J. Mitchell as the next speaker in the Joan B. Kroc Distinguished Lecture Series. This year's series focuses on "The Negotiators" who work in challenging conflict situations to build consensus for human rights and peace.
Mitchell served in the U.S. Senate from 1980 to 1995, where he held a variety of important leadership roles including Senate Majority Leader from 1989 to 1995. After leaving Congress in 1995, Mitchell served as a Special Advisor on Ireland to President Clinton, and from 1996 to 2000 was instrumental in the peace negotiations which lead to the Good Friday Agreement, a historic accord ending decades of conflict between the political parties of Northern Ireland and the governments of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Following the success in Ireland, in 2000, President Clinton, Prime Minister Barak of Israel, and Chairman Arafat of the Palestinian Authority asked Mitchell to serve as Chairman of an International Fact-Finding Committee on Violence in the Middle East. Published in 2001, the committee's recommendation, widely known as the Mitchell Report, was endorsed by the Bush Administration, the European Union and many other governments. In January 2009, President Obama appointed Mitchell as the administration's Special Envoy for Middle East Peace.
His lecture, entitled "Negotiating in Business, Politics and Peace," will draw on Mitchell's legal and political experience as well as his role as Independent Chairman of the Northern Ireland Peace Talks. Mitchell will address why the success from the Northern Ireland negotiations has not translated to the Middle East. Mitchell will also explore how peace negotiations differ from political and business deal-making and how people from various professions use their negotiating skills to build pace in their communities and countries.
"I formed the conviction that there is no such thing as a conflict that can't be ended," Senator Mitchell explains. "Conflicts are created, conducted and sustained by human beings. They can be ended by human beings."
The Joan B. Kroc Distinguished Lecture Series is a forum for high-level national and international leaders and policymakers to share their knowledge and perspectives on issues related to peace and justice. Designed to broaden our understanding and thinking about how to prevent and resolve conflict and promote peace with justice, the series is made possible by an endowment from the late Joan B. Kroc.
This event is open to the public and press. Reservations are required at http://peace.kintera.org/dls or call (619) 260-4236 by November 29.
Who: Senator George Mitchell
What: Senator George Mitchell will present a lecture entitled, "Negotiating in Business, Politics, and Peace," followed by a question and answer period.
Where: Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice
When: Thursday, December 6, 2012 at 7 p.m.

Sonic: Lost World: The Kotaku Review x2
There are two new games called Sonic: Lost World coming this month. I'd like to refer them as "the good one" and "the bad one," if you don't mind.
There are two new games called Sonic: Lost World coming this month. I'd like to refer them as "the good one" and "the bad one," if you don't mind.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I is a sequel 16 years in the making. Pitched as the direct descendant of 1994's Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sega's taking the series back to a simpler time. Does Sonic 4 deliver?
Going by its ability to render the classic Sonic the Hedgehog casino style level—this one's cleverly named Casino Street Zone—the episodic, old-school style Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is looking like a winner.
Yesterday Sega revealed a new Sonic the Hedgehog game, Sonic Colors, but didn't mention who'd be handling development duties. According to an update from ArchangelUK at the Sega City Blognik, the development team formerly known as Sega AM8, Sonic Team, will be handling development on the Wii version, with longtime…
Ready? Fight! Because Street Fighter IV is coming to Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch.
Well, here's our first genuine surprise since the official reveal of Sonic 4: Sega, and its cherished Sonic Team studio, isn't developing the game.
When I interviewed Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono last year about the game, I was on the Street Fighter wagon. Fight club free for more years than I could remember.
Developer Dimps is responsible for developing Street Fighter IV for Capcom. Dimps president Takashi Nishiyama? "Pretty sure bisexual," outs former Capcom employee Yoshiki Okamoto.
Seventeen years ago to this day, Sonic spirited onto the Genesis/Mega Drive. And he did it with 'tude. That's right! SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog was released in North America and Europe on June 23, 1991. The game came out a month later in Japan. In his heyday, the blue hedgehog gave Mario as run for his money during the…

It isn't often that a fight between an unbeaten but largely untested fighter and an opponent who has six losses is looked at as perhaps the most compelling fight on a pay-per-view undercard.
But Gabriel Rosado's scheduled 10-round middleweight bout with prospect J'Leon Love on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather-Robert Guerrero is a crossroads bout that is anticipated by most hardcore fans. Rosado is coming off a hard-fought TKO loss to WBA titleholder Gennady Golovkin that was televised on HBO in January while Love is looking to cement himself as a bona-fide contender in the middleweight division.
This isn't new territory for Rosado. A tough luck fighter early in his career who was brought in as "the opponent" on more than a handful of occasions, Rosado has blossomed into an extremely mature 27 year old. While nobody likes to lose, Rosado has learned something from each of his six losses and he hopes to teach his undefeated 25-year-old opponent his first lesson.
"I think experiences like what I've been through make or break a fighter," Rosado told RingTV.com shortly before Wednesday's final press conference for Mayweather-Guerrero. "Nine out of 10 guys would have folded going through the situations that I've been through."
Rosado has never had things easy. A couple of early career defeats, when boxing wasn't at the forefront of his mind, forced him to take even more difficult fights when his skills began to progress. A victory over a then unbeaten James Moore changed perceptions of Rosado a bit and he began to find himself in televised opportunities on a more regular basis.
Split decision wins over former 154-pound titleholder Kassim Ouma and tough Mexican veteran Saul Roman sandwiched a bad knockout loss to Alfredo Angulo in 2009 and 2010. To Rosado, it was those kinds of fights that forced him to get better; those were the fights he feels give him an edge over his opponent on Saturday.
"I remember when I fought Saul Roman," said Rosado. "He was 32-5, a solid Mexican. He cut me open, and I won that fight off pure will. We will see if Love has that on Saturday. We'll find out if he's got the dog in him or if he is all talk."
The talk that Rosado is referring to is the uncharacteristic smacktalk that Love engaged Rosado in at Tuesday's grand arrival at the MGM Grand. The two went nose-to-nose very quickly as Love began unleashing some verbal abuse before Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, stepped in. Unfortunately, Ellerbe only exacerbated things when he pushed Rosado's buttons and those two went face to face.
For Rosado, he thinks those early antics suggest that Love might be in over his head. Love told RingTV.com yesterday that he felt Rosado was dismissive of him, sparking his temper.
"When he was walking on stage, I looked at him like, 'We're fighting, this is real s__t. I'm not here to make friends.' Imagine that, he couldn't handle a staredown, imagine what will happen in the actual fight."
According to Rosado, he and Love exchanged positive words to each other over Twitter as the two did share one similarity: both Love and Rosado lost loved ones while getting prepared for this fight.
"In training camp, we both trained with heavy hearts. My stepfather passed away and he lost his brother, so I reached out to him on Twitter and offered my condolences and he responded respectfully. When he approached me on the stage, he came at me out of character. That tells me that he's nervous."
Though the experience lies in Rosado's favor, this is still the biggest fight in both of their respective careers. To fight on a Floyd Mayweather undercard is an opportunity few get to experience. Even though it is the opening fight of the pay-per-view telecast, it is a tremendous opportunity for both to increase their name and exposure.
Still, Rosado feels as though he has the edge to where Love won't be able to adapt if plan A doesn't go his way.
"I have been in against world champions and former world champions," said Rosado. "He said to me, 'I'm a different breed.' What are you, you haven't fought anyone yet? If he's a different breed, I'm a f__ing Tyrannosaurus Rex."
The heat between the two will only motivate Rosado to inflict more damage according to the Philadelphia native.
"It's not going to the scorecards, and I mean that," said Rosado. "He doesn't have the skills to survive. When it gets hot in there, a veteran has the skills to survive and get away from certain shots. He's young, will probably try and be bold. I've been in his shoes already."
The fear for many, even those backing Rosado on Saturday, is that he took too much punishment againstGolovkin in January. Rosado was stopped in the seventh when his face was grotesquely swollen and cut. Rosado quickly put an end to that talk when asked about how that fight will affect him.
"If you think about it, the blood made it look worse than it really was," said Rosado. "When they cleaned up the blood, it wasn't as bad. A lot of the shots weren't landing."
Rosado was previously campaigning at 154 pounds, where he built himself into a potential title shot. Rosado decided to go after Golovkin at 160 pounds, if only because he wants the most difficult challenges that present themselves. In other words, Rosado is a throwback fighter.
"I looked at it like, I love to prove people wrong," said Rosado on why he took the Golovkin fight rather than exploring his options at 154 pounds. "I turned down a title fight at 154 pounds and went to 160 to fight GGG. I like to try and do the impossible."
Rosado says what makes this challenge at 160 pounds different from January is he's grown into the weight class.
"Physically, I just wasn't a solid 160 pounds against Golovkin," said Rosado. "This fight, I'm more naturally a middleweight and I'm going to approach this fight as the bigger man."
Rosado has previously upset the odds a number of times. On top of beating James Moore, Rosado has scored impressive wins against Jesus Soto Karass and Sechew Powell on NBC Sports. It was his three fights on that network that grew Rosado's name and probably helped land the fight with Love.
Even though Rosado is the "B-side" in this fight, he feels as though he is a big part in selling the fight.
"Nobody would have cared about his fight if he wasn't fighting me," said Rosado. "If Love was fighting someone else, most people would probably be concerned about the pizza delivery guy than watching his fight."
If the Golovkin loss didn't take too much out of Rosado, his fight Saturday with Love has a good chance of stealing the spotlight on the undercard. It was Love who wanted to fight Rosado, personally asking Leonard Ellerbe to "make the fight with that tough Philly kid," according to Love on Tuesday.
"If that's true, which I doubt it is, be careful what you wish for," said Rosado.
All boxing fans are hoping for is that the fight plays out the way it looks on paper.

We really like this game...noticed that a lot of people didn't like the two-person game...not sure what the actual rules for the two-person game are 'cause we've been using a dutch version and can't read the rules (we were taught by our friend)..but we made up a two-person version that we think is reasonable...Each player plays two colors, alternate placing of towns and taking turns, player cannot trade with himself but can use monopoly card to transfer a resource, play each color to 7 points...
Siedler has definitely turned into a favorite between me and my friends. We are so hooked on this game, that we have already purchased the expansion set to allow more than 4 people to play. The interesting thing about the expansion set is that the rules change a bit, so the game goes much faster.
We have the German edition, which we think compared to the English version, is much more colorful. But I guess if you cannot read German, you might have a problem.
I was first introduced to this game by a friend who brought it back from Germany. I was hooked from the beginning!
Then I went there myself for a few months. Needless to say, this provided many hours of entertainment with friends I made there. A great bonding time! It is challenging and exciting!

More so than any other time in our 96-year history, it seems that the American Friends Service Committee's message about the power of nonviolence is taking hold.
Many people, institutions, and lawmakers are taking steps in the right direction, showing that they recognize the effectiveness of nonviolent alternatives in the face of conflict and oppression. Here are a few examples…
In Washington, D.C., cuts to the bloated Pentagon budget are on the table for the first time in a decade. And major immigration reform with a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants is under consideration for the first time since the '80s, though we must ensure this important step doesn't rely on the perpetuation of ineffective, deadly, and costly border control policies.
In Maine, today has been marked as a day of reflection, meditation, and prayer by a groundbreaking truth and reconciliation commission that is beginning to heal decades of wounds to Native Americans. We are all invited to join in spiritual solidarity, taking the opportunity to deepen human respect and compassion, taking a moment to listen with open hearts to the difficult shared histories of native children and families and the state's child welfare system.
AFSC works in many other communities, each one with inspiring stories of nonviolent resistance and conflict resolution. Please browse our website, afsc.org, to hear from more communities, see more evidence of the changing tides, and find out how you can use your voice to help build lasting peace.
Let's seize this moment and encourage people to continue on these paths to peace.
In peace,
Shan Cretin
General Secretary

I have also been experiencing headaches, occassionally my left arm starts tingling, and my neck hurts while excersising. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just want to know if I should see a doctor about this.READ MORE
If my heart rate is between 120-146 resting and 190-210 excersising is there something wrong?
Thanks for your question. Normal heart at rest should be 60 - 100 beats per minute. Target heart rate during exercise depend on your age and weight. Both your resting and exercised heart rates are too high.
Your other symptoms are non-specific and any possible diagnosis at this point would just be a guess.
You should make an appointment with your physician as soon as possible for an evaluation. He will ask several questions, perform a physical examination as well as a cardiogram. He may also request blood work or other diagnostic tests. In the mean-time, I would not exercise or perform any strenuous activity until seen by your doctor.
Best wishes.
Martin Cane, M.D.
When you check your pulse to get the 120-146 resting heart rate, has it been at a time when you have been sitting down for at least 15 min. not doing anything, or maybe it's when you first wake up in the morning, as long as it's not to a screaming baby or a blairing alarm clock - you are completely in a rested state, right? If not, try doing that to make sure you get a true resting number - better yet, take you pulse 3 times during a wk (it doesn't have to be the same time of day, just as long as you feel you're resting) and average those 3 numbers you get, and the number you come up with will be your true resting heart rate. From this number, you will now be able to determine how high (or low) of a range you should be working in for cardio exercise; it's called a Target Zone. Working below that target zone doesn't do much for your
heart and working above the target zone, in some cases, if one has heart problems, that is where/when they will occur. Also, pay attention to what your body is telling you....and listen to it. You know what you feel like better than anyone else does, even the dr, so keep insisting if you think there is something wrong. Good Luck, Janet
I have stable angina is there a cure for this problem?

Category talk:Mendelssohn, Felix
Free public domain sheet music from IMSLP / Petrucci Music Library
not really sure how to edit a category page, so if someone could do the following that would be great. The "Variations in B-flat Op. 83" entry should be eliminated entirely, not just from this list but completely from the library, since the score contained therein already exists on the "Variations Op. 83." (Even if the score under the "B-flat" entry was worth keeping, we would still need to consolidate, since obviously those are the same works -- whereas the Op. 83a entry is indeed different, being for four hands.)

ST. LOUIS — Last year marked the first time in at least five years that consumers paid less, on average, for prescription drug copays, according to the 2007 Drug Trend Report released by pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts, here. The average copay dropped 25 cents to $13.20 even as the average total cost of a prescription rose from $55.01 to $55.93. Express Scripts attributed the average copay decrease to greater use of generic drugs. The report said the report that consumers saved an ...

Incapacity Benefits versus Benefit Transfers

University of Kiel - Institute for World Economics (IfW); Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA); Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR); CESifo (Center for Economic Studies and Ifo Institute)
September 1996
CEPR Discussion Paper Series No. 1471
The paper explores the employment implications of allowing people the opportunity of using a portion of their incapacity benefits to provide employment vouchers for employers that hire them. The analysis indicates that introducing this policy could increase employment, raise the incomes of incapacity benefit recipients, and reduce employers' labor costs.

Indiana University captured its eighth NCAA National Championship, defeating Georgetown University 1-0 in Hoover, Alabama. Head Coach Todd Yeagley joined his father Jerry as NCAA Championship Head Coach winner, as well as members of the Indiana Soccer Hall of Fame.
Once again, youth soccer in Indiana was on display as Indiana University featured 17 homegrown players on their roster of 29, including seven of the 11 starters. Two former Indiana youth players combined to provide all the scoring that was needed. The winning goal came off of an assist from Eric Zavaleta to Nikita Kotlov in the 64th minute. Georgetown goalkeeper Tomas Gomez rushed to the right of the goal to keep Zavaleta in check. When Zavaleta's header attempt came to the center, Kotlov then had a wide-open net and didn't miss. From there the stifling Hoosier defense made it stick Sunday.

He got more insurance money and wasted time. Painted walls with a mixture of flat, gloss, and egg shell. Messed up dry wall around electrical outlets. It' sobvious that he doesn't know what he is doing. Finally he was fired and we hired another contractor to fix the house. All of the Rhode work had to be repaired. We then found out that he never put a new roof on. He wouldn't give any of the $40,000 back. For the little work that he did do, his contractors were calling me to get paid because he didn't pay them! Stay away!

For nearly thirty years, starting in the 1960s, Franklin D. Murphy was a dominant figure in the cultural development of Los Angeles. As chancellor of UCLA and later as chief executive of the Times Mirror company, Murphy channeled more than a billion dollars into the city's universities, museums, concert halls, and libraries. The Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, one of his landmark projects, is also one of the UCLA campus's great treasures. Standing as a model for sculpture gardens internationally since its dedication in 1967, the Murphy Garden features seventy-two important modern and contemporary sculptures in a five-acre site designed by landscape architect Ralph Cornell. This fully-illustrated catalog documents the entire Murphy Garden collection and provides a scholarly entry for each artist?a sampling of which includes Deborah Butterfield, Alexander Calder, Henri Matisse, Joan Mir, Henry Moore, Isamu Noguchi, Auguste Rodin, and David Smith. Three essays?by Victoria Steele, Cynthia Burlingham, and Marc Treib? focus respectively on the role of Franklin Murphy in the garden's planning and execution, the acquisition of the sculptures, and the garden's significance within the history of sculpture garden design..
