OTC Pain Medications and Their Risks
Drugstore shelves have so many choices of over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication that it can seem difficult to find one that you like. But OTC pain relievers can be divided into just 2 main types: acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Acetaminophen is available as a generic medicine and by the brand name Tylenol. You'll find a few different NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, and ketoprofen. Some medicines, such as Excedrin Extra Strength, combine acetaminophen and aspirin.
You need a prescription to buy stronger pain relievers called opioids. Codeine, which is one type of opioid, is found in a variety of cough suppressants. In a few states, cough medicines with codeine can be bought at pharmacies without a prescription. It's also in pain relievers along with acetaminophen. Codeine can make you feel sleepy, so you need to be careful when taking it.
Using OTC pain relievers
Acetaminophen and NSAIDs are both good for treating fever and many types of pain. These include sore throat, low back pain, pain after surgery, and pain from colds, the flu, and sinusitis. Acetaminophen brings down a fever and eases pain by acting on the parts of the brain that control pain and body temperature. NSAIDs reduce pain and fever by forcing your body to make fewer hormone-like chemicals called prostaglandins. These chemicals play a role in body temperature control. They can also irritate your nerve endings, causing pain.
NSAIDs like ibuprofen are especially good at easing pain from swelling and inflammation, such as menstrual cramps and muscle sprains. Acetaminophen doesn't help with inflammation, but it's good for headaches and arthritis pain.
Risks of OTC pain relievers
Most people don't think of OTC pain relievers as dangerous because you don't need a prescription to buy them. In most cases, they are quite safe when they are used just as directed. But they can have some major risks, especially if you don't follow the directions.
NSAIDs sometimes cause bleeding in the stomach and gastrointestinal tract in older adults and others. This is true even in normal dosages. Also, children and teens under 19 should never take aspirin. It can cause a rare but potentially fatal condition called Reye syndrome.
One of the most serious problems with OTC pain relievers is taking too much of them at any one time. If you take more of a drug than is recommended, it can cause health problems. If you frequently take too much acetaminophen, it can cause serious liver damage and even death. Acetaminophen is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the U.S. Overuse of NSAIDs can cause kidney disease and kidney failure or serious stomach bleeding.
Some cough and cold medicines and allergy medicines may contain acetaminophen or an NSAID along with other ingredients. So it's important to carefully read the labels of all the drugs you might be taking. That way you won't inadvertently take a double dose of the same type of drug in 2 different products.
It's also important to know that many prescription pain medications contain acetaminophen or NSAIDs. If your doctor gives you a prescription medicine for pain, make sure you understand what's in that medicine. Don't combine it with similar OTC drugs, or this will put you at risk for overdosing. Always ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.
Another problem is taking pain relievers for many days. Most of these medicines have a recommended maximum number of days that you should take them. Look for this information on the product label. Some medicines can be used safely in the long term for chronic pain such as arthritis. You should talk about this with your doctor.
Pain relievers can react harmfully with other medications, especially blood thinners. If you take any prescription drugs, ask your doctor if you should avoid any OTC pain relievers. Also, some OTC pain relievers can make certain medical conditions worse. So find out from your doctor which ones are safe for you.
Alcohol is a concern with some OTC pain relievers, especially acetaminophen. Taking acetaminophen and drinking alcohol can lead to liver damage and failure. If you frequently have 3 or more drinks a day, talk with your doctor before taking acetaminophen. Alcohol can also increase an NSAID's risk of causing gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers. Alcohol should never be used with an OTC pain reliever containing codeine. Mixing alcohol and opioids can cause difficulty breathing and even death.
Be especially careful when giving OTC pain relievers to children. Use only the special device that comes with the package to measure out a dose. And never give a child more than the recommended dosage. Also, check other medicines your child is taking to make sure you are not accidentally double-dosing.
Additional concerns about codeine
Medicines that contain codeine can make you feel very sleepy. This can be risky for you and those around you. In many cases, medicines with codeine are meant to be taken before bedtime, so make sure you are following all directions carefully.
If you're breastfeeding and taking codeine, your breast milk will have codeine in it. This can put your baby at risk for overdosing on codeine. Talk with your doctor before using an OTC that has codeine in it.

text: Superman found Dead! I missed the headline blazing across newspapers all over the country. I'm not surprised, I was less than four years old in June of 1959 when George Reeves, the actor who starred as both Superman and reporter Clark Kent, was found in his bedroom, dead, apparently of a self inflicted gunshot wound. At four I wasn't interested in such things as Superman. At six and seven that changed and I was hooked on the television series "The Adventures of Superman." At some point after that age I found out that George Reeves, Superman, was dead. What I didn't know until much later in my life was that there were in fact many questions about the death of actor George Reeves. Enough questions to make one wonder did the actor really kill himself or was he killed?

Employees at Erie County Medical Center will honor the memory of Jackie Wisniewski with a moment of silence at 8:05 a.m. Thursday, marking one year since she was shot to death by her estranged boyfriend inside a stairwell at the hospital.
Wisniewski, who was 33, worked as a secretary at ECMC. She was killed there by Dr. Timothy V. Jorden Jr., a trauma surgeon who had stalked her since the end of their relationship and who took his own life later on the morning of June 13, 2012.
ECMC also will host a prayer service for Wisniewski on Thursday, during which hospital officials will unveil plans for a memorial dedicated in her name.
And the hospital is undertaking the Clothesline Project, a weeklong initiative that features a series of T-shirts advocating against domestic violence. This project will conclude Monday, when the Theatre for Change will put on a performance named "The Impact of Domestic Violence in the Workplace" at 11:30 a.m. in the Smith Auditorium at ECMC.
Anyone interested in attending this performance may call 898-3000 for more information.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin flew into Elkins this week to survey the damage caused by Friday evening's severe storm and hear from emergency responders about what challenges remained for Randolph County.
A West Virginia Army National Guard helicopter flew Tomblin into the Elkins-Randolph County Regional Airport at about 4 p.m. Sunday. The governor stayed on the scene for about an hour, officials said.
"He wanted to assess the damage and how were were coping with the situation," Wayne Sheets, public information officer for the Randolph County Office of Emergency Management, said Monday. "His main focus was the lack of communications due to the storm damages."

Tomblin spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday meeting with first responders and surveying firsthand the damage around the state, according to his office.
"I know the past few days have been very trying for folks across West Virginia," Tomblin said Monday in a news release. "I can assure you that our emergency management officials and power companies are working around the clock to get things cleaned up."
On Monday, Randolph County officials worked to provide water to those areas of the county still without electrical service.
Mon Power reported that about 3,700 Randolph County customers were without power as of presstime Monday evening.
Marvin Hill, director of the Randolph County Office of Emergency Management, said the county's power outages remain his office's "biggest issue."
"This was the most widespread damage I've ever seen for a windstorm," Hill said Monday. "I know the power company's out there doing everything they can.
"The electricity is still a spotty thing," Hill said. "Mill Creek came back on Sunday night, and Huttonsville came on (Monday). I live in East Dailey. I don't expect to have power for a day or two.
"In some areas we're probably looking at a couple more days before power is restored."
Because of the power outages, many residents are without water service as well.
A 10,000-gallon water tanker was placed at Harding, where a boil-water advisory is in place. People who need water for cooking or drinking are encouraged to fill up their containers at the tanker.
"We'll refill it if necessary," Hill said. "We don't want anyone to go without."
Hill said the county set up an emergency shelter in Camp Pioneer in Beverly on Saturday evening, complete with air conditioning and emergency power. However, officials "closed it down" at 6 p.m. Sunday "because no one had come. We tried to let people know about it through the media.
"We can open it again if there's a need," Hill said. "We can also make it a cooling station if there's a need for that."
"If anyone out there needs help, please call us," he added. "We'll do everything we can to help."
Residents can call the Randolph County OEM at 304-636-0483.
Hill said the response from people wanting to help in the recovery effort has been "tremendous."
"We had people come from everywhere to help," he said. "The National Guard has taken water to people in need for us. I can't say enough about them.
"We've been working around the clock since Friday night, but it's not work if you know you're helping someone in need," Hill said.
Randolph County Commission President Mike Taylor echoed the sentiment.
"Everybody in the community has come together," Taylor said. "We appreciate everyone coming in to help their neighbor. It's just going to take some time to get power and water back to the entire county."

"They were flirty all night Friday at the rehearsal dinner and on Saturday," says one guest.
"There was definitely something there between them," says another guest who adds, "They left the wedding together that night."
And there's an old proverb: One wedding begets another. So could this be a lasting love? "They definitely made a connection," says the first source. "But who knows what will happen."
But no word on whether or not Kardashian, 33, tossed her white bouquet and if Gastineau was the lucky recipient.

Salem cop charged with OVI resigns
February 16, 2013
SALEM —A nearly 20-year veteran of the Salem Police Department resigned Friday, just a few days after being suspended without pay pending the outcome of a case against him for charges of drunken......
A little part of me hopes that this isn't just a that's that notSocialist. I hope Gary seeks the help he needs. I hope our officers at the department can move forward and that JT can lead them to a fully productive police agency for our community with interests focused on protecting them just as much as they work to protect us. We need to fully support them.

Yes you screwed up Gary, but you are still human. I wish you the best of luck with your future plans.

AWESOME, hahahahahaha long
AWESOME, hahahahahaha long way to go for that one CubbyBlue. Love it!
well played sir...

g.cole vs the cubs lineup...
...and the cubs take a 1 run lead...and for some f'n reason rizzo sureholds is sent to 3rd and rizzo home (running from 1st) and is thrown out by 4-5 steps at home for the 2nd out.
at least sureholds is on 3rd...though it should be 2nd/3rd sureholds/rizzo with 1 out.
can we quit with this aggressive baserunning already?
s.baker throwing steady 88mph
s.baker throwing steady 88mph fastballs, btw....87-89 range. hit 90mph with his 18th pitch of the game.
slider ranging around 82mph...heavy fastball mix, though.
lot of fly outs through the 3rd...working 88-90 range as the game goes on...still heavily favoring the fastball.
The glove is really popping
The glove is really popping though. If I didn't see the gun, I'd say they were all 95 mph. Seriously ... weird.
10 outs recorded in the OF
10 outs recorded in the OF via popup out of 15 so far after 5ip.
65 pitches...2h 0bb 4K
Weird how the kids were
Weird how the kids were killing him in A-ball and now he looks like a serviceable MLB pitcher again all of a sudden. No change in velocity or anything, either. Small sample size, etc., but WTF?

also, 2 more fly outs to the OF + a HR.

...and russell gives up a

awesome job, bro.
One thing about the Cubs is
One thing about the Cubs is they seem a bit more competitive this year than last. I can't think of many games they haven't been in. There HAVE been a fair number of games that they've been in if you only look at the box score, but haven't really been in, I guess, because they have been so inept on offense, especially the first half of the year. But really, if I'm a contender, I know that it's not an automatic W with this team. My biggest concern with the Sveum era now that he's got almost 2 years under his belt is that his team has a habit of finding ways to lose.
As a Cub fan I would more
As a Cub fan I would more likely believe it was drone due to the infrequency of Rizzo homeruns.
22 HRs not bad for an age-23
22 HRs not bad for an age-23-season player, especially one who also hits so many hard line drives. Don't hate for no reason.
And 35 doubles or so, good
And 35 doubles or so, good for 5th in the league. Plenty to work on, but you're right, we need to keep it in perspective with his age.
Also, if you bump his BABIP
Also, if you bump his BABIP up to .300, his batting average goes to .275. Considering how hard he hits the ball, that's not unreasonable at all. So a large part of what we've seen this year in terms of batting average is just plain bad luck.
Everybody wants instant
Everybody wants instant gratification. They want Manny Machado, so they complain about loopy swings from a 23 year old first baseman who beat cancer, and a subpar season from a shortstop who started his career with some serious awesomeness for his age. This is a good year for these guys to work through their shit. It's not like they've got veteran stars sandwiching them in the lineup. I understand the frustration of being a Cubs fan as well as anybody, but really?
Fox has blessed us with Thom
Fox has blessed us with Thom Brenneman for the Bears game...lovely.
no-hitter through 5 for
no-hitter through 5 for Liriano...Cubs no-hit streak in jeopardy.
Lake single in 7th ends it
Lake single in 7th ends it and Welington hits a HR to tie it.
w.balentien finally breaks Oh
w.balentien finally breaks Oh's japanese HR record.
these days managers/players are more prone to let "outsiders" go for it by not pitching around them or intentionally walking them for no reason.
the fans loved it. his mom was in attendance at the game, btw.
he did it 1 better with his 57th HR later in the game...he's got 41 more HR on his team than lastings milledge, who's the #2 best HR hitter on the team.
...he's got 17 more games (if he plays them all) to blow the record out of the water.
Sign him!!!!
Sign him!!!!
On a completely unrelated
On a completely unrelated note, this Trestman fellow seems to know what he's doing. One sack in two weeks? And that sack was really on Cutler, not the O-line. For the last few years I've been practically begging for an offensive line. Nice to see a little imagination on play calling, too, and (slaps forehead) - short passes by Cutler. It's almost like watching NFL football.
You did not "practically" beg
You did not "practically" beg, you actually begged.
This should have happened two years ago when Lovie went 9-7.
It took shit-canning of top personnel to realize the team needed to get their offense into the 21st Century.
What is going to be problemmatic as the season goes on this year, is the absence of a formidible pass-rush with just four up front. Yu do not see this in the Championship-caliber teams.
I am optimistic, however, that they can score enough points this year to keep them in most games.
Haha, you are right, I did
Haha, you are right, I did actually. I guess I'm kinda hoping that Peppers isn't slowing down as much as it looks so far. In other words, I'm hoping he's got some nagging but not major injury that hasn't been reported. A spunky Peppers goes a long way to a good front four. Yesterday T Jennings saved the game, in my opinion. So far, teams really are pretty much just willfully marching up and down the field on these guys.
my prediction for the season
my prediction for the season was that Bears would be far more exciting on offense at the expense of their defense....it'll be far more fun to watch, but I'm not sure if the end result will be much different this year.
If they can go 6-1 into the bye, time to get excited.
@ Steelers, @ Lions, vs. Saints, vs. Giants, @ Redskins then the bye
Schedule isn't easy at any point beyond an away game versus Cleveland in December. Not that they get any world-beaters in there, but certainly a bunch of teams that could beat them or they could beat.
It would not surprise me if
It would not surprise me if they went 3-2 in the games you posted. If you saw the Giants game last night, they are beatable (although the Payton-run Bronco offense was like watching Gene Kelly go nuts - artistry in motion).
all those teams are beatable,
all those teams are beatable, they're also all capable of beating the Bears especially at home (Lions and Steelers)...well maybe not the Redskins...they look something awful right now. Defense hasn't stopped anyone and offense just scoring during garbage time.
So everything after the
So everything after the Bengals went up 21-10 in game 1 was garbage time? My thought is if that were the case, the Bengals would have won, then. TD to win with 0:10 left in game 2 is garbage time? Somehow we see things differently.
I was talking about the
I was talking about the Redskins in regards to garbage time.
Bears offense has been good beyond the turnovers.
Now I got it. Me slow?
Now I got it. Me slow? Unpossible.
As I mentioned to E-man,
As I mentioned to E-man, teams are marching up and down the field on the Bears pretty much at will. E-man is right about the front four - they need to get better if there is any hope for a championship. I would still say that they could easily win every game that you list there. But because of the way the defense looks right now, they could also lose every one. So that's a problem.
If they go 7-1 they are
If they go 7-1 they are almost guaranteed a playoff spot!!!!
sorry if old news...Cubs sign
sorry if old news...Cubs sign NC State catcher Danny Canela, was named rookie of the year of the Frontier League
37th round draft pick of Tigers in 2009
sounds like he's got some talent, but work ethic issues, NC State dropped him before his senior year, was suppose to be their cleanup hitter
he was being pushed out of C
he was being pushed out of C by brett austin...when he learned he was going to be a part time player he transfered to Lee University...though he probably would have been a regular DH when he wasn't catching. it did not help at all that he blew off "voluntary" fall practice last year.
btw, he killed it @ Lee...but that's not hard...it's a minor conference. .335/.443 avg/ob%...7hr...16 doubles...40bb/19k...218ab. he did even better in the frontier league...which is promising since he was using a wood bat there.
he's a rather crummy defensive catcher, fwiw.
also...while his work ethic (and conditioning, aka body weight) may be questioned, he was known to be good around his teammates and fans...so it's doubtful he's a head case.
tonight's ATL/WAS game
tonight's ATL/WAS game postponed, fwiw.
For "the safety of [the] fans
For "the safety of [the] fans" ... which no one actually believes, since the incident was isolated and ceased several hours ago.
More likely to be respectful to the relatives of those who lost someone ... but is playing a game at 1 pm tomorrow really more respectful than playing at 7pm today? Maybe, I dunno, I just feel like the only reason they canceled was to avoid catching PR flak. And surely there are media types who would've crucified MLB and the Nats if they played. But really, as if tomorrow is way more respectful and/or safe than tonight? Meh.
they're also staging some
they're also staging some stuff at the ballpark...victim and lockdown family waiting, some services, etc...plus i imagine travel in/around the area isn't very easy right now.
...but yeah, "the safety of the fans" is some b/s...though technically there is a 2nd person of interest, though it's believed that 2nd dude is the guy who's ID was used to obtain access rather than being some witnessed 2nd gunman.

Its funny that won nobody, but Lambiel in second place is even funnier, I love Lambiel too, but its irreal, I bet to Nobu.
Brian Joubert
Evan Lysacek
Jeremy Abbot

Stephane Lambiel
Nobody because Plushenko is figure skating's God.
Nobody. He is overscored and could throw up on the ice and still get higher PCS than Abbott
Its funny that won nobody, but Lambiel in second place is even funnier, I love Lambiel too, but its irreal, I bet to Nobu.
I agree with Bennett. Plushy himself, or maybe Mishin, for their strategy and the process they chose heading into the Games. Imagine his crushing disappointment when he scores less than 100 points in the short! Long program with a broken frustrated heart could leave the door open for just about anyone
Personally, I think it's great that Jeremy Abbott and Lambiel are almost tied with "nobody." They are two of my favorite skaters and I really hope to see wonderful programs from them at the Olympics. But I really like Plushenko in his own way too, for what he's brought to the sport.
There's just something truly wonderful about this "old" guy pushing the newbies to do quads. I mean, really.
Figure skaters cannot beat him. Mass media and judges is another issue.

Wednesday's video is "Foil," a spoof of Lorde's "Royals" that illuminates many of the helpful properties of tinfoil. Yankovic begins by explaining how the material can protect your leftovers and then goes on from there. (Any more information would probably spoil it – no pun intended.)
In case you missed them, Monday's parody was a spoof of Pharrell's "Happy," while Tuesday's was a grammar-centric spoof of "Blurred Lines" called "Word Crimes."
Among the lessons presented in the latter, "Weird Al" teaches viewers about the difference between "less" and "fewer," as well as when you should use an apostrophe in "its" – only when it's a contraction, not when its function is possessive.
Though the song is full of lessons, "Word Crimes" sidesteps one of the biggest literary disputes of our time. "I don't want your drama if you really wanna leave out that Oxford comma," he sings.

City guide Lausanne
Swiss cities up close and personal.
Discover the unique charm of our Swiss cities - with the vision and the heart of a local:
The most important information, excursions, events and much more.
A printed version for the road.
Download (PDF)
The setting of Lausanne is extremely picturesque: it is hardly surprising that the International Olympic Committee has been based here since 1914. The town is built on three hills, surrounded by vineyard-covered slopes, with Lake Geneva at its feet. Rising impressively from the opposing French lakeshore are the Savoy Alps. The attractive old town is largely car-free. Small alleyways with cafes and boutiques shape the streetscape in the medieval city centre.
The old town is dominated by the cathedral, which is regarded as Switzerland's most impressive piece of early Gothic architecture. Lausanne was a diocesan town for over a thousand years. Shopping streets can be found surrounding the cathedral as well as in the pretty waterfront area of Ouchy. Switzerland's only «metro» connects the various parts of the town and eases travel in this incline-based town.
Also worthy of a visit are the parks, containing many Mediterranean plant species, and grand palace hotels like the Beau-Rivage Palace in Ouchy and the Hotel de l'Angleterre, were Lord Byron once stayed. Gourmets will be able to savour many regional specialities in Lausanne such as cabbage-filled sausage with leek gratin called "Papet Vaudois". Mind you, master chef Fredy Girardet who was voted «Cuisinier du siècle» or chef of the century by his colleagues has in the meantime retired and handed over his sceptre in the Hôtel de Ville to his successor.
Even lovers of culture won't feel short changed in Lausanne: the collection of marginal art ("Art Brut") in Beaulieu Castle, the Fondation de l'Hermitage, the «Musée de l'Elysée» photo museum, and many others merit a visit. The offering of theatre productions and musical performances too is above average. Finally, Lausanne is home to the world-famous Béjart Ballet.
The «Olympic capital» is home to the Olympic Committee and also the Olympic Museum, the world's largest information centre about the Olympic games. But sport in general is given a high profile here, examples of which are the «Lausanne Marathon» and «Athletissima», the international meeting for track and field athletics.
As a city of culture and conferences, Lausanne combines business and pleasure. With the picturesque Old Town, the Olympic centre and the quarter of Ouchy, it is the pride of the Lake Geneva Region.

Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
Hello, everyone! I'm Lizzy: Native Virginian, devoted Cubs fan, and author of a blog called The Fair Base Ballist. I was supposed to make a guest post here when Rob G. was on vacation, but technical difficulties prevented my doing so. I spent a good chunk of time hammering out individual player projections for 2010, and Rob has been kind enough to let me go ahead and post them. I hope you'll enjoy, and please contribute your own ideas to mine (especially for the mystery bench player who is likely to be announced 5 minutes after I publish this. I have omitted the 4 candidates for brevity's sake.)
Without further fanfare, your 2010 Chicago Cubs previews. They are all 100% serious.
Carlos Zambrano:
Big Z is going into the 2010 season with an improved physique and
attitude. I say he tallies 4 homers before the All Star break and
starts to take up knitting.
Ted Lilly:
Will hit a home run this season... possibly his first game back.
Ryan Dempster:
14-7, 3.69 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 19 QS, 190 K, 206.2 IP, 24 QP (Quality
Pranks,) 13 NSQP (Not-So Quality Pranks.)
Randy Wells:
Will pick a road alias based on a Will Ferrell character and think
he's soo-ooo clever for it.
Tom Gorzelanny:
The slack jawed southpaw will sneak undetected into Wrigley several
times in the middle of the night to catch lightning bugs.
Carlos Silva:
I'm not going to name any names, but certain Cubs beat reporters are
already looking forward to writing pieces on Carlos' hitting under
the headline "Silva Slugger."
Jeff Samardzija:
The Shark will fall in love with a charming south-side shopkeeper who
knows nothing about baseball. This will inadvertently put his career
on the right track. Ah, the power of love!
Sean Marshall:
Write this down: On August 17th
Randy Wells will eat some bad pasta primavera at a sketchy San Diego
bistro (he will have heard that the chef there was reputable, a sad
bit of misinformation.) Violently ill on August 18th,
Randy will be unable to make his scheduled start. Sean Marshall,
unsurprisingly, is the last minute replacement. He will take a
no-hitter into the 8th
inning. With 2 outs, he will lose the bid on a blasted infield single
to stupid Will Venable. He'll still end up with a 2-hit shutout.
Carlos Marmol:
Here's your daily dose of optimism, courtesy of Dr. Liz: Not only
will Marmol hold down the closer position for the entire 2010 season,
he will be the second best
in our division and we'll all be angry in July when he isn't selected
as an All Star.
John Grabow:
Will watch "Memento" and get all weirded out, because he's
John G., too!
Esmailin Caridad:
That smile will take him far.
Justin Berg:
May we please call Justin "Pika-Cheeks" for obvious reasons?
Geovany Soto:
Y'know, I think, y'know, that's Geo's gonna have a much better,
y'know, year this year. Because, y'know, he lost all that, y'know,
weight, and just seems really motivated, y'know?
Koyie Hill:
At one point in '09, video footage surfaced of Koyie standing atop
Wrigley's scoreboard and tossing off frisbees. Remember that? Well,
stay tuned, 'cause this year Koyie's gonna try the same thing with
bowling balls!
Derrek Lee:
Will continue to make striking out look good.
Mike Fontenot:
Font and Z will go on being special buddies.
Jeff Baker:
Would rather not make a prediction as it might turn out to be wrong.
Ryan Theriot:
Things will get awkward between The Riot and several of his teammates
as they catch him interviewing himself in the bathroom mirror
multiple times.
Aramis Ramirez:
I can't say what I'm thinking or I'll jinx it.
Alfonso Soriano:
In the time that Soriano spends on the DL this season, he will learn
to play the glass harmonica and release his own self-titled album.
All profits will go toward the preservation of endangered sea
Marlon Byrd:
Will smile, and make merry, and win over the masses whether he
performs well or not. Because Marlon has won me
over already, I am thoroughly convinced he's gonna be awesome.
Kosuke Fukudome:
Kosuke will hold a press conference in mid-May and divulge that his
young son suffers from an extremely rare disease which causes his
face to resemble that of a cute animated bear.
Xavier Nady:
I will doodle his name all over everything for as long as he is
donning Cubby blue.
Tyler Colvin:
With any luck, Mr. Colvin will prove that his spring performance has
not been a fluke, and none of us will feel too bad when Soriano
inevitably pulls, strains, sprains, and/or fractures various parts of
his body.
*Starlin Castro:
Although he was raised in the Dominican Republic, you may not know
that Starlin was actually born
on the "Lost" island... under a rainbow... on Christmas. He is
endowed with a bat of silver, a glove of gold, the mind of a wizard,
and the heart of a Newfoundland puppy. He will descend upon Chicago
like an enormous trophy-shaped cloud on a scorching summer day. He
will win you over with a flash of his bat, leather, and boyish smile.
Within 2 weeks of his debut, Baseball Tonight will quit selecting the
day's top Web Gems (what's the point when all 10 belong to the same
player?) Over the second half, Starlin will become the owner of a
70-game hit streak and a .464 batting average. A few journalists will
question the naturalness of these feats, but Starlin will click his
heels together 3 times and they'll all vanish into thin air. If,
after all this, you are one of Starlin's few remaining doubters, he
will fly to your home on the back of a magical rocking-horse and
sprinkle you with an enchanted mixture of star dust and goat ash
while you're sleeping.
By 2020, he shall have a World Series ring for each finger, 10 MVP
awards, and a lovely alcove reserved for him in the Hall of Fame. He
will play every year at the league minimum salary, continually
rejecting colossal pay-days, because he just wants to play for the
love of the game. When Starlin's career finally concludes, his jersey
number will be universally retired (Not just from baseball, but from
all mathematics.)

Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
they call it humor.
hopefully if you don't agree with this person's humor they won't take it personally and tell you that you don't understand humor or satire like some other sites that think they're a satire site. some people get all hissy and emo passive aggressive about that.
Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
And, you may not understand satirical reply or commentary?
Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
as long as you don't take it personally and as an attack on your intelligence by labeling someone a sub-human incapable of understanding humor it's all good.
i know my brand of humor wouldn't play out for everyone and i don't think my critics just "don't get it" because they incapable of it.
you can "get it" and still think it's a pile of aggro ego driven crap that's not funny...kinda like some people find artie lange funny...
Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
Psh. You guys are lame.
Liz, your prediction for TheRiot is not only hilarious, it is entirely possible.
Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
Don't mind the negative guys. It was funny.
Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
Hmm, well I'm not quite sure what was going on up there ↑ ↑.
But Jonathan Mayo, MLB.com has a new article up, "Cubs 10 Prospects to Watch in 2010"
And the link.
Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
"Silva Slugger"...nice.
well-done all around and thanks for the guest post.
not sure why everyone else is so serious today...maybe I need to bring up Fox News again.
Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
Wells is actually scheduled to start on August 16th.

Excellent job, Elizabeth K! I loved how you finished it up with Starlin Castro (may he live forever). I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
I loved this piece before we got a glass harmonica reference (saw one in a museum a few months ago and was blown away--I'd buy Sori's album!). Anyway, this one went to 11!
My Own Predictions
Jeff Samardzija
Frustrated by his inability to master a breaking pitch and fatefully being placed next to Koyie Hill's locker, Samardzija in inspired to chop off two fingers on his right hand Mordecai Brown style...takes over closer duties by August.
Jeff Baker
released May 1, 2010
Carlos Silva
first MLB player to be DL'd for obesity
Scout.com Top 10 3rd Base Prospects
Vitters is 2nd behind Alvarez
Vitters is a contact hitter that has plus power and high average potential. While he won't draw many walks and will swing outside the zone, getting himself out, Vitters is a pure hitter that will do damage in the middle of a lineup. He has tremendous baseball instincts and innate ability but struggles putting learned knowledge into application. His progress defensively has been slow, and it is possible that Vitters ends up in the outfield.
Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
Is that from this year? Now the consensus is that Vitters will stay at third and Alvarez will be at first, not that I by any means am pimping the consensus point of view.
Missed it by that much...
took them 4 hours to name the final bench spot.
C. Tracy officially makes the team, Millar released.
Fuld and Hoffpauir optioned to Iowa.
Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
strangely relieved at the common sense approach.
Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout;
And there is joy in Cubville -- 'cause Tracy's in and Millar's out.
Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
kevin millar sucks
he's nothing more than filler
send his ass elsewhere

Re: Millar released
We dodged a dud.
Goodbye Kevin Millar, AKA "Anthony Friese" "Carlos Ahearn" "Ivan Jimenez". "Kyle Morgan" "Great Johnson" "Dave Herman" and "Kane Matthews." Your time is up. You wore Cubbie Blue, but you'll never be a Cub.

Re: Your 2010 Cubs: What To Expect
I don't think Bradley thrown out was that memorable. The Z meltdown was fantastic--I love that he ejected the ump. The Reed Johnson catch was great. I would've liked more defensive plays--which they could include they took out the Bradley ejection and #1. Of course, I don't watch ESPN much.

Colvin robbed Braun of a catch as well...although it was 7-1 in the 9th at the time.

mitch williams on MLB Tonight Live was doing a demo on throwing a spitball and blatently admitted he'd use it when his fastball wasn't having a good night. it was pretty matter-of-fact and not a joke/laugh thing.
my personal favorite was john rocker's arm sweat ball wetting method which was pre-gripped on the bottom while he shook sweat down his arm to his grip fingers. they didn't touch on that one, though. don't think rocker's admitted to it. don't think people wanna talk about him much, either.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.

quote: (This makes no sense to me as I would think logic minded people would be more conservative than liberal)
quote: I do make what some would call "outrageous statements" but that is just from their perspective. In the circles I travel in, my thoughts and beliefs are right in line with everyone I know... with the majority of the country.
quote: But thanks for pointing out the whole free speech argument... it is funny how people on the left claim to be for it, but then try to silence anyone with an opposing viewpoint. I guess what they mean by free speech, is freedom to say what you want, but our freedom to suppress it.
quote: Interesting. How so? The image I'm left with when I hear the word "conservative" is someone who holds religion, traditions and "moral" over scientific progress and freedom of the individual.
quote: You cite religion, tradition, morals, science and freedoms as if it was a list you have to prioritize or balance. I see each of those as separate entities. I don't have to give up freedoms to respect traditions.
quote: No, exactly. And that was really my point. The image I have of conservatives (This image may very well be a wrong one, I'm not denying that.) is that many of them seem to put for instance their religious beliefs, or what they themselves find "morally right" (what does that even mean?) over other people's freedom to live their life the way they want and find right and just.
quote: "I don't like it/my religion doesn't allow it, therefore it should be prohibited for everyone." It's a matter of trying to prevent anyone with opposing views from exercising their rights, which is, amusingly, the exact thing many self proclaimed conservatives in here seem to want to pin on liberals. :)
quote: And no, having morals is not a hindrance to scientific advance. :) Morals is entirely a good thing. The problem starts when people try to impose their morals on others, thereby limiting other people's opportunity to advance. This I feel is somewhat of a conservative trait.

Can Elkins High School's potent offensive attack be stopped? That seems the be the most popular question entering the third week of the prep football season.
After two games, the Tigers' offense has definitely pick up where it left off last season when it racked up 3,464 yards rushing.
After defeating Oak Hill 43-36 in their opener, the Tigers improved to 2-0 last week with a 57-42 win over Hampshire last Friday.
So after scoring 100 points and compiling 773 yards of total offense in two road victories, the a forementioned question was answered by Elkins coach Greg Hott.
"Theoretically yes, our offense can be stopped," Hott said. "A great deal of what we do offensively hinges on our line. If our linemen don't do their jobs, and we turn the ball over, we can be stopped. But so far through the first two games, neither one of those things have happened to us."
And the Tigers Single Wing offensive attack hasn't been a powered by one player alone. In the first game of the season, L.J. Lawrence rushed for 255 yards and four touchdowns. In the Hampshire win, it was senior Clayton Collett who made his presence felt, rushing for 123 yards and finding the end zone five times.
"We have several skilled guys that can do many different things, so it make it difficult for our opponents," Hott said. "Teams can typically focus on something in an offense to stop, but with us we have players coming at you from every different direction."
The Tigers are on pace to top last year's record-setting rushing totals for a season, but Hott knows that his team can't always depend on the offense to win games.
"Some time down the road we are going to get in a dogfight and we're need our defense to step up," he said. "Right now on defense we're just reaching instead of tackling, and forgetting some assignments. We have kids out there that know what need to be done, but they're just not doing it. We're hoping to be better on the defensive side of the ball this week."
Most fans will get their first look at the Tigers tonight when rival Buckhannon-Upshur visits Wimer Stadium for Elkins.
And with the Tigers off to their best start since the 1991 season, it would be major disappointment if Elkins fans didn't pack the stands for the Tigers' home opener against their biggest foe.

The Stetson sand volleyball team had its final tune-up before the season begins with a Thursday afternoon scrimmage at Webber International University.
The teams did not compete in a typical match play format but rather played numerous head-to-head matches with each school winning an equal number of games.
"Everyone on our roster got to play and Webber provided very good competition," head coach Tim Loesch said. "It was great to play against such strong teams in preparation for this weekend."
Webber provided a cook-out for both teams following the scrimmage.
"All of our players were always fighting for every point, so there were many extended rallies and long games between the teams," Loesch said.
The Hatters open the 2013 at the Ron Jon Beach 'N Boards Fest Saturday in Cocoa Beach.

PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh?Steelers announced Friday that the team agreed to terms with former Arizona Cardinals running back LaRod Stephens-Howling, a Johnstown High School graduate, on a one-year contract.
This now gives the team a dynamic third-down back and a core special-teams player who proved himself to be a dangerous return man during his four seasons in Arizona. Stephens-Howling played collegiately at Pitt.
The Steelers remain interested in free-agent Ahmad Bradshaw, the former New York Giants running back, according to some reports.

The forthcoming issue of History of Communism in Europe will focus on the topic of Transitional Justice and Civil Societies after Dictatorial Regimes. The growing field of transitional justice addresses the strategies employed by states, private actors and international organizations to deal with past human rights violations and to produce social reconciliation after the breakdown of dictatorial regimes. This volume explores the ways in which civil society influenced and conducted transitional justice processes in various post-dictatorial societies from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. It tries to answer a series of questions such as: What was the role and influence of civil society in conceiving and implementing transitional justice mechanisms in various national contexts? What particular combination of actors, policies and judicial settings favors or obstructs transitional justice? What is the relationship between civil society, politics and justice in transition periods? How much and how successfully national civil societies, norms and initiatives have interacted (in various geographical arias and epochs) with international ones in attempts to make transitional justice? To what extent various domestic civil societies were part of global civil society networks, which promote universal human rights norms, and to what extent this global integration helped the transitional accountability process?
Papers may address topics such as:
§ Role and influence of civil society in advocating and implementing transitional justice mechanism
§ Transitional justice as a social movement
§ Relationship between domestic, international and transnational civil society in transitional justice processes
§ International civil society and transitional justice processes
§ Impact of transitional justice mechanisms on civil society
§ Role of art and mass-media in transitional justice
§ Engagement of religious actors in transitional justice processes
§ Women's groups and transitional justice
Ideally, the authors should address the topics in question from a comparative perspective, but understudied national cases are also welcome.
The contributors are kindly asked to write abstracts that do not exceed 500 words. Deadline: March 1st, 2013.
You may submit your proposals at: email@example.com
Selected authors will be notified by March 15th. The deadline for the final draft of the paper is May 1st, 2013.

on November 14, 2012 - 11:39 PM
Dozens of new deputies who will start work at the Erie County jails during the next two years are expected to ease chronic overtime problems, but Sheriff Timothy B. Howard told county lawmakers Wednesday that it will take time.
One of the problems, Howard said, is that veteran jail staff members continue to leave as new deputies go through a lengthy training program to start work, making it impossible on many days to fully fill all of the staffing posts required by the state without overtime.
"The largest part of our overtime is simply a result of not having hired enough people to staff all the posts that we're all in agreement actually exist," Howard said.
County legislators Wednesday expressed skepticism that the Sheriff's Jail Division can stay within the $8.1 million budgeted for overtime next year, when actual spending in recent years has been more than $11 million.
"How can I believe this $8.1 million line for overtime?" Legislator Timothy R. Hogues, a Buffalo Democrat who is chairman of the Legislature's Finance, Management and Budget Committee, asked Howard. "How am I to give that any credence?"
The State Commission on Correction earlier this year gave Erie County until September 2014 to create 72 new jail deputy and supervisor jobs to ensure that the Erie County Holding Center in Buffalo and the Correctional Facility in Alden are adequately staffed. But the Sheriff's Office will actually have to hire many more deputies than that to fill positions left empty by retirements and people who have left for different jobs.
For example, Howard said, 27 staff members have left during the time in which about 30 new recruits went through the most recent training academy.
To address the problem, the Sheriff's Office will conduct three academies in 2013 for the first time in years with the hope of training as many as 90 to 100 new jail officers next year.
"I think the more men and women we can get in uniform on the lines, the more overtime we're going to be able to save," Undersheriff Mark N. Wipperman told legislators.
Overtime has been flagged as a problem at the jails for several years as the expense line has remained above budget and some deputies have been forced to work 16-hour shifts for days in a row. But curbing that expense could take more than just adding new employees, the state-appointed county control board warned in its analysis of the proposed 2013 county budget.
"Adding staffing, without directed, consistent overtime management, will not reduce this expense," the Erie County Fiscal Stability Authority budget analysis stated.
Earlier on Wednesday, County Clerk Chris Jacobs told legislators he is concerned about a plan to cut overtime in the Registrar's Division in half to $7,500 at the same time that County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz turned down his request for two more employees in the division, which records land transactions and other documents. The Clerk's Office this year has been working through a backlog of thousands of documents in that division, and Jacobs said the cut to the overtime line would limit his ability to deal with the potential for spikes in real estate transactions next year.

NEW ORLEANS – Andre Reed and all of his Buffalo Bills followers hope today's Pro Football Hall of Fame meeting is not another "Groundhog Day" experience.
Reed, the Bills' all-time greatest receiver, is a finalist for induction into the Hall for a seventh straight year. This is the fourth straight year he is locked in a three-way battle among receivers on the list of 15 modern-era finalists under consideration.
Former Minnesota great Cris Carter is a finalist for a sixth straight year. Former Raiders great Tim Brown is a finalist for a fourth straight year.
Those three have formed a receiver "logjam" in the hall voting. All three have a lot of support, as evidenced by their perennial position among the finalists. None have been able to get elected.
The Hall's selection meeting will run for about seven hours today. The results will be announced starting at 5:30 p.m. EST on the NFL Network.
During the selection meeting, the modern finalists are whittled down to a group of 10, then a group of five. Then a vote, up or down, is taken on each of the last five.
Reed has advanced to the final 10 each of the past three years. Carter also advanced to the final 10 last year, but both Reed and Carter were eliminated in the cutdown to the final five.
The other finalists are: running back Jerome Bettis; defensive linemen Michael Strahan, Warren Sapp, Kevin Greene and Charles Haley; owners Edward DeBartolo Jr. and Art Modell; coach Bill Parcells; tackle Jonathan Ogden; guards Larry Allen and Will Shields; and cornerback Aeneas Williams.
They are joined by two senior nominees: nose tackle Curley Culp and linebacker Dave Robinson. Senior nominees are players whose careers ended more than 25 years ago.
The vote on the worthiness of the seniors is separate from that of the modern candidates. A maximum of five modern-era finalists can be elected.
Reed, who played from 1985 to 2000, caught 951 passes for 13,198 yards. At the time of his retirement, he was third all-time in catches and fourth in yards. Currently he stands 11th in catches and 12th in yards. Reed's 87 touchdown catches put him 12th on the all-time list.
Reed also was sensational in the postseason. In 21 playoff games he had 85 catches for 1,229 yards.
Both Carter and Brown are ahead of Reed on the statistical lists. Carter had 1,101 catches for 13,899 yards and 130 touchdowns. Brown had 1,094 for 14,934 yards and 100 touchdowns.
Reed played in offenses that ran the ball more, and he contributed to more team success than Carter and Brown.

When a man and a woman buy a lot of fundip and put it in a big cocaine looking pile. The woman gives the man a wet and sticky blowjob. After the blowjob the man sticks his dick in the fundip and the woman licks it all off and then you repeat until all the powder is gone.
Hey Cindy, why are you buying all this candy? Because Eric and I are going to do the Fun Dip.

A sex move which combines the Alabama Hot Pocket with a blowjob. The guy takes a shit in the girl's pussy, then dips his penis into it, getting shit all over his dick. The girl then licks the shit off of his dick, like the popular sugar candy "fun-dip". (Optional)- The guy can be wearing a minty/fruity condom so that it tastes like the stick used in the candy.
Person 1: Yo, why are you limping?
Person 2: I was pulling a fun dip on Janice last night, and she decided to bit the stick in half!

What Are the Symptoms of Kaposi Sarcoma?
It may take a long time for you to develop and notice symptoms of Kaposi sarcoma (KS). If you have risk factors or think you have KS, see a doctor. The major symptoms of KS are skin lesions, lymphedema, and swelling of the lymph nodes. Unexplained fever or unwanted weight loss can occur as well.
Here is more information about the symptoms of AIDS-related KS.
KS lesions normally start out as flat or slightly raised colored spots on the skin. Sometimes they grow just below the skin and do not have an unusual color. Lesions can grow anywhere on your body. They most often start on the legs, nose, feet, or on parts of the ears, mouth, or sex organs.
Most people with AIDS-related KS have lesions in many places. As the lesions grow, they may turn pink or red. Sometimes lesions can turn blue, purple, or brown. In dark-skinned people, the lesions may be dark brown or black. Lesions do not normally cause pain:
Sores in your mouth or throat that bleed. People with AIDS-related KS often develop lesions in the mouth and throat. These lesions usually show up on the roof of the mouth called the palate. They often appear on the gums, voice box (larynx), tonsils, tongue, and windpipe. Lesions on the palate usually cause no symptoms and often go unnoticed. Lesions in the mouth and throat may get sore and even bleed. They may make it hard for you to eat, swallow, and breathe.
Diarrhea or difficulty having bowel movements. KS lesions can develop in the esophagus, stomach, intestines, or other part of the gastrointestinal tract, sometimes called the GI tract. You may have lesions in your GI tract even though there are none on the surface of your skin. Usually, lesions in the GI tract cause no symptoms. Sometimes, though, they cause pain and bleeding. Lesions in this part of the body may also interfere with food digestion, leading to diarrhea and malnutrition. Rarely, lesions can cause blockages in the GI tract, making it hard to have a bowel movement. Lesions can also damage the wall of the bowel, which may cause intense pain and bleeding.
Coughing, wheezing, or breathing problems. Lesions may also grow in your lungs. Lung lesions cause coughing, wheezing, and breathing problems. You may even cough up blood. Breathing problems usually show up during exercise. If the lesions continue to grow, they may eventually cause breathing trouble even when you are resting.
Some people with KS develop severe swelling that blocks the lymph nodes or lymph vessels. This swelling is called lymphedema. It may happen even when no lesions are on the skin. It may result in these symptoms:
Swelling in the legs and feet (walking may be painful as a result)
Swelling in the genitals or groin
Swelling around the eyes
Swelling rarely occurs in the chest and arms.
Swelling of the lymph nodes
Other parts of the body may be affected before skin lesions show up. A doctor may think you have the disease if you have been exposed to risk factors for KS and you have swollen lymph nodes. However, many other conditions, including other cancers and viral infections, can cause your lymph nodes to swell. It is important that you visit your doctor if you have swollen lymph nodes.
