Hi, I have a Laptop Satellite M45-S331, I never move my laptop around the house or have used outside, so I have decided to use this laptop as a desktop (stationary) a router will be connected for wireless conections; here is the question I going to keep it plugged in at all times and remove the battery entirely, by doing this will I hurt my laptop? Since I bought my laptop the left side gets really hot when I use my laptop pugged in, and when I try to use use just the battery although reads 100% full capacity, it run out of power in less than a hour. The battery has not use for me; should I let it drain and remove the battery entirely and keep it plugged in? I do not want to damage my laptop, Please help!!

You can use the computer without the battery installed. Remember it's also a battery backup in case you accidentally unplug the power cable or if your neighborhood looses power. Without a battery, your computer will instantly shut off if the power is lost - and this can corrupt the hard drive files.
Some computers run hot and it's not the battery causing it Before the recent low voltage dual core CPUs became popular in notebooks (which has been in the last year) some notebook computers ran hot - especially the single core cpus that were up in the 3.0 Ghz range. Here's what you can about that if this is the case with yours.
1. About the battery: If you are sure the battery is running hot, remove it immediately (and call Toshiba tech support) as that can be an indication of a malfunction in the battery. Malfunctioning batteries can cause a fire or get so hot that they damage your computer. There is a recall for Sony batteries and the information for it can be reviewed by clicking on this link: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/js
2.About the cooling system: Some computers have cooling fans or vents in the bottom. If you have these and you put the computer on your lap or on a soft surface while it's running, the cooling system may not work effectively. Make sure you have unobstructed cooling: Check the cooling vents (bottom, rear and sides) to ensure they are clear of debri such as pet hair or dust buildup. If you need to clean your vents, shut the computer off first, unplug it from all connecting cables and use a vacuum to remove the buildup. If you blow into the vents, you will blow it right into the computer where it can make the problem worse.
3. Many notebooks have a CPU speed setting. It can be set to high and always high, to "dynamic" which increases the CPU only if needed or to a low speed setting. The dynamic setting will help the computer to run a little cooler and is the default setting in most notebooks. Typically, you can find a Toshiba power setting utility in the Control panel that will let you change the CPU default speed.
This is more information than you asked for but I thought it might be helpful.
Storing the battery, when no longer needed, is OKAY to achieve, just insure 100% charge rate when removed. Your mention of low usage at full charge-run on battery till alarm indicator comes on, then allow for a full rcharge overnight, then store in a sealedbag/wrap. As mentioned battery is a backup supply unit for the unit. Since we do not know age of unit, remember battery life is generally 1-2 yrs, usage rate is dependent on what device is in use--say DVD player will surely decrease battery life, likewise external components in use, etc.

Pacquiao Vows: I Will Show Bradley My Speed and Power
When Manny Pacquiao meets Timothy Bradley in Las Vegas on Saturday, his motivation will extend beyond avenging what he views as an erroneous defeat in their first meeting nearly two years ago.
On that June night at the MGM Grand, which also provides the setting for the rematch, Pacquiao was on the wrong end of a controversial split decision that most felt should have favoured the Filipino.
That injustice alone provides ample inspiration to overcome Bradley, but the aging WBO welterweight champion has also been stung by taunts from the American that question his desire.
"The hunger that he's looking for? It's no longer there. It's gone. It's gone. He's a tremendous fighter but I don't see it," Bradley said.
"The reason why Pacquiao really needs to win this fight is because if he loses, think about it - his career might be over."
A loss to Bradley would be Pacquiao's third defeat in four contests, a sequence broken only by November's points victory over made-to-measure Brandon Rios.
The 35-year-old stands at a crossroads knowing victory over the accomplished if unspectacular Bradley would retain his place at boxing's top table. Any other outcome and retirement beckons for a modern day great.
Even an element of doubt clouds Pacquiao's own mind, amplifying the significance of his 63rd fight, but he is confident that a career beginning in 1995 will endure beyond this weekend.
"I'm always thinking about his (Bradley's) challenge that to me that I don't have that killer instinct or hunger any more," said Pacquiao.
"So I have to prove that to him and to myself. I will show him my speed and my power.
"I feel that in my physical body that I can still fight and that's what I believe."
The importance of inflicting a first defeat on Bradley is understood by Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach.
"This is a 'must-win' situation and if we don't win this fight we have to maybe consider retirement," Roach said.
"So this is a big, big fight for him. Some people think we are all done and we have to prove that we are not.
"We've had a great run. I don't think that it's close to being over.
"His work ethic is great and he's training really hard and he's not missing a step anywhere.
"You're going to see us around a lot longer than you think."

Epidemiological data point to an increased risk of HIV-1 mother-to-child transmission in pregnant women with malaria, by unknown mechanisms. We show here that surface binding of a recombinant Plasmodium falciparum adhesin to chondroitin sulphate A proteoglycans increases HIV-1 replication in the human placental cell line BeWo, probably by a P. falciparum adhesin-induced long-terminal repeat-driven TNF-α stimulation. This suggests that placental malaria could increase the risk of HIV-1 transmission in utero.
Field and laboratory studies have highlighted an interplay between HIV-1 status and malarial parasitaemia, with increased plasma viral loads being present during malaria infection [1]. Malaria complications during pregnancy arise from an accumulation of Plasmodium falciparum in the placenta (placental malaria) [2]. During an HIV-1 mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) prevention study we noticed a strong correlation between rainfall (associated with high P. falciparum transmission) and HIV-1 MTCT [3]. HIV-positive pregnant women with P. falciparum placental infections can show accentuated viral MTCT in utero/peripartum [4]. Parasite accumulation in the placenta results from cytoadherence of infected erythrocytes to chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) proteoglycans on the placental lining via a subset of P. falciparum PfEMP1 adhesins [5]. We hypothesized that this P. falciparum placental binding would stimulate local HIV-1 replication and contribute to MTCT in utero. To test this hypothesis, we explored the consequence of P. falciparum adhesion to the placenta-derived cell line BeWo [6] and HIV-1 replication in vitro.
Human placental trophoblasts and BeWo cells resist infection by cell-free HIV-1 [7] but are permissive to infection after contact with HIV-1-infected blood cells, leading to in-vivo transplacental passage of viruses [8]. To bypass this restriction and to mimic cell-to-cell infection, we used HIV-1 pseudotyped with the vesicular stomatis virus G protein (VSV-G) bearing the luciferase reporter gene to infect BeWo cells [7]. These cells were incubated with the recombinant DBL3γ-732 adhesin, which is derived from the P. falciparum placental adhesin varPAM-732 complementary DNA (GenBank entry AY679117) and binds to CSA and placental chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans [9].
Using immunofluorescence assays with an anti-CSA monoclonal antibody, we first confirmed that BeWo cells, like primary placental trophoblasts, expressed surface CSA (not shown). BeWo cells were infected with VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-1 and incubated with increasing concentrations of recombinant DBL3γ-732. A concentration-dependent effect on viral replication was observed for the two viral doses used (Fig. 1a). For both low and high viral doses, there was an inhibition of replication at low DBL3γ-732 concentration but above a 2.5 μM concentration, a significant increase of replication occurred. This increase was DBL3γ-732 specific because the addition of DBL1α-varO, an unrelated adhesin domain from the rosette-forming PfEMP1-varO variant [10], which does not bind CSA to infected BeWo cells, did not augment viral replication (not shown).
Stimulation of HIV-1 replication in BeWo cells was completely abolished when DBL3γ-732 (5 μM) was preincubated with 4 μM Fab of monoclonal antibody A5.13 (P = 0.03; Fig. 1b). This anti-DBL3γ-732-specific monoclonal antibody inhibits CSA binding by P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes (manuscript in preparation). The Fab was used because BeWo cells express IgG Fc receptors, which are known to modulate HIV-1 replication. When used alone, Fab A5.13 had no effect on HIV-1 replication or on BeWo cell viability (not shown). This indicates that blocking of DBL3γ-732 binding to CSA by Fab A5.13 prevented the modulation of viral replication. Preincubating DBL3γ-732 with the Fab of monoclonal antibody E4-2, specific for an irrelevant P. falciparum antigen (F. Nato, unpublished), did not abolish stimulation of HIV-1 replication (not shown). Furthermore, Fab E4-2 alone had no effect on HIV-1-infected BeWo cells (not shown). DBL3γ-732 had no effect on HIV-1 replication when we used CD4-positive T lymphocytes, which do not express surface-exposed CSA, in place of BeWo cells (not shown).
As a result of its known role in HIV-1 replication in T cells and HIV-1-infected placenta cells [11], as well as in placental malaria infection [2] we quantified TNF-α production in the BeWo cell culture supernatants. There was a dose-dependent relationship between added DBL3γ-732 and the quantity of TNF-α released into the supernatants irrespective of whether the BeWo cells were infected (VSV-G) or not (Delta Env control). TNF-α in these culture supernatants rose from undetectable in the absence of DBL3γ-732 up to 250 pg/ml at the highest dose. This indicates that TNF-α induction is DBL3γ-732 dependent. Furthermore, this was DBL3γ-732 specific, because the supernatants from parallel cultures incubated with DBL1α-varO contained no detectable TNF-α (not shown). The addition of recombinant TNF-α (0.5, 5 and 50 ng/ml) to pseudotyped HIV-1-infected BeWo cells resulted in a dose-dependent increase of HIV-1 replication (not shown). We next quantified IL-8 in the supernatant of infected BeWo cells cultivated in the presence of escalating doses of DBL3γ-732 (Fig. 1a); no detectable IL-8 was found (not shown).
We have shown here a marked increase in viral replication in BeWo cells at high DBL3γ-732 doses and a moderate inhibition with low DBL3γ-732 doses. It is noteworthy that this biphasic response is mirrored in field studies, in which high placental malaria parasitaemia is associated with an increased risk of in-utero HIV-1 MTCT, whereas low placental malaria parasitaemia is associated with a lower risk of transmission [12]. The demonstration that recombinant DBL3γ-732-induced TNF-α production in BeWo cells is, to our knowledge, the first evidence for the stimulation of a placental cell type for TNF-α production by a specific P. falciparum adhesin. Such a stimulation may contribute to the elevated TNF-α levels in the placenta of P. falciparum-infected women [2], thus generating a specific cytokine milieu that influences cellular immune response(s) within the placenta [13]. Furthermore, TNF-α increases the expression of additional receptors involved in Plasmodium-infected erythrocyte binding such as interstitial cell adhesion molecule type 1 also involved in the adhesion of peripheral blood monocytes to the trophoblast cells [14]. The DBL3γ-732-triggered TNF-α production in BeWo cells could stimulate HIV-1 replication, possibly via long-terminal repeat-mediated activation as reported in ACH-2 cells [15]. Recombinant exogenous TNF-α also stimulated HIV-1 replication in BeWo cells. Although this study strongly implicates TNF-α, we cannot at this stage exclude other factors.
We have studied here one CSA-binding adhesin of P. falciparum. We anticipate that other CSA-binding adhesins (e.g. var2CSA) might also modulate HIV-1 replication. Our data provide a direct link between placental cytoadherence and HIV-1 replication in a placental cell line. This suggests that specific parasite interactions within the placenta contribute to MTCT of HIV-1 in areas in which the two diseases co-localize. Improved implementation of antimalaria therapy in addition to antiretroviral therapies throughout pregnancy may help prevent MTCT of HIV-1.

With its clean, taut body lines, Citroën C3 is one of the most compact vehicles in its class. Its clever design makes for generous interior space, while the large glazed area further enhances the impression of space and freedom.
The Zenith windscreen means that all passengers have excellent visibility, so are able to enjoy the scenery on every journey.
The Zenith windscreen features a dark-tinted area at the top to protect against glare and also a sliding sunblind.
Whatever the time, day or night, Citroën C3 occupants will appreciate the sense of travelling in a bubble of light. Natural light floods the cabin through the many glazed areas in addition to artificial light with various dimmer-controlled light sources around the cabin.
Citroën C3 is one of the most compact models in its class, 3.94m long, 1.73m wide and 1.52m tall. Our stance is that having less doesn't mean you have to compromise on quality. Whatsmore, with a turning circle of 10.2m, Citroën C3 is ideal for city driving.
Citroën C3 already sets the class standard for quality. This high standard of quality is visible in the surface treatment appealing exterior trim: chrome trim on the door handles, weatherstrips and chrome-tipped tail pipes.
Looking beyond its compact exterior, Citroën C3 is roomy enough to carry five adults in comfort. This is possible because of the car's great design features:
- a non-intrusive gearbox freeing up leg room
- "slim" front seats creating more knee room at the rear
- raised seats to leave room for the feet of passengers in the rear.
On board Citroën C3, discover an interior dedicated to driving. The central console is within easy reach. Your driving position is unequalled and outstandingly comfortable. All you'll want to do is drive.
Citroën C3 features exceptional boot space of 300 litres with 2/3-1/3 split/fold rear seats. Folding the backrests increases the load length to 1.19 m.
Many other storage compartments are available, along with an optional central armrest with two cubbies and a drawer under the driver's seat.
Citroën C3 offers a wide choice of multimedia systems. The new 7" touchscreen, ideally situated at the top of the central console, gives access to a wealth of functions and services.
Manoeuvring is trouble-free, thanks to C3's rear parking sensors and reversing camera displayed on the 7" touchscreen. Hill-start assist, available on selected versions, means safer hill-starts on slopes steeper than 3%.
Citroën C3 provides full protection for all passengers with six airbags as standard from the second level of trim:
- two front airbags
- two side airbags at the front
- two curtain airbags in the roof.
For even greater safety, the steering column of the Citroën C3 retracts in the event of frontal impact.
Citroën C3 incorporates an excellent level of safety with its high-performance braking system. To ensure efficient braking, C3 has, as standard:
- ABS (Anti-Blocking System)
- EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution)
- EBA (Emergency Braking Assistance)
- automatic hazard warning lights.
Children travel in complete safety on board C3. For all models, the two rear outer seats feature Isofix anchorage points for child seats as standard.
Citroën C3 also comes with standard child locks for the rear doors and windows.
PureTech engines use innovative, efficient and economic technology. Citroën C3 is available with PureTech 68 (CO₂ emissions as low as 87 g/km), PureTech 82 (CO₂ emissions as low as 99 g/km for PureTech 82 S&S ETG) and PureTech 110 S&S (CO₂ emissions as low as 100 g/km ) engines. The PureTech 110 won the Engine of the Year award for fuel consumption and CO₂ emission performance.
Choose from some of the most efficient diesel engines in their class. Go for the BlueHDi 100 S&S manual and you will achieve an impressive 87g/km CO₂. It's better for the environment and for your budget too.

Chlorogen 800 is a green coffee bean extract supplement. The product is designed for visible weight loss and has similar specifications to the supplement used in a 2012 study, in which overweight patients took green coffee bean extract and lost an average 17 pounds over 22 weeks.
As a general rule, you should lose between two and three pounds in the first month. You could see faster, more dramatic results with some effort on your part. Watch your portion sizes, for example, and avoid fattening foods. Keep a food journal too, and make note of how you feel when you eat. All these steps will help you lose weight faster. Chlorogen 800 gives you that choice, of passive weight loss or more aggressive weight management.
You can buy Chlorogen 800 in Australia, US, Canada, UK online at official website. It is not sold in stores. It ships to all countries.

Why Chlorogen 800 is the best green coffee bean supplementLet's see...
Chlorogen 800 benefits are:
Chlorogen 800 can do these things because of the dosage and the right percentage of chlorogenic acid - at 50%. Yes, Dr. Oz would approve of that, but we're more interested in the quality of the product than what a celeb doctor would say. And that's precisely why you should buy Chlorogen 800.Leading Edge Health specializes in high quality natural health supplements. They're an ecommerce firm with a loyal clientele for natural libido supplements and products for skin. They offer natural digestive supplements too, and they've obviously put a lot of time and their expertise into Chlorogen 800 by crafting a product that is very similar to the green coffee supplement used in the 2012 study.You probably know there are many, many green coffee bean supplements clamoring for your purchase. But how many of them are offered by a company that's been around for ten years or longer, with an extensive product of natural supplements and backed with live customer service and a 60 day money-back guarantee.

Skip to comments.This is awful!
Posted on 03/30/2002 1:02:28 AM PST by Nogbad
No, this is awful!
I don't know where anything is anymore!
Where are the sidebars?
I used to go straight to them
to find out
what was going on.
I stayed on that one thread. There was no waving flag, no blue-grey background, with pale blue lettering ( which made it VERY difficult to read ) , so that problem was removed.
Going from thread to thread, too a VERY long load time, loger than from posting to getting back to the thread, so there went another problem ... i.e. my unit shutting off.
I didn't DEMAND a fix; I just complained, on a thread, I might add, whose topic was specifically COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CHANGE ! I stuck to the topic. Ergo, after whatever length your stay as been here, you still don't understand how FR works . Please, permit me to explain it to you. You see, a thread gets posted The article or opinion of the thread is whatever starts that thread off. To be correct, FREEPERS then debate / talk about / discuss the TOPIC of that thread. I AM NOT THE TOPIC ! Your opinion of me, is also NOT the topic. Naughty, naughty you. : - )
I do so hope that this has been instructive.
Many, many thanks, for all of your help . It is greatly appreciated. : - )
Yeah, that's what you kept saying, except you spelled 'took' and 'longer' correctly. As I pointed out, a review of your reply history indicates that you were posting on different threads (that means not the same thread) within minutes of each other several times. So your claims that you weren't able to access more than one thread, much less post on more than one thread, don't appear to be accurate.
I realize you've been around a lot longer than I have been. I guess that makes you (another) unofficial spokeswoman for Free Republic policy.
Since you've confirmed this, and indicated that you know what Free Republic is all about, can you explain what you meant by "begathon"?
Thanks in advance.
I thought you used to have something there?
Hear! Hear!
Let us all protest with profane, personally directed, racist and violent postings!!

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - It didn't take long.
Before they even commenced hitting at the first practice with full pads, the Eagles suffered their first significant injury of training camp when Riley Cooper fractured his left collarbone Saturday.
The team did not estimate how long the wide receiver would be out, but broken collarbones typically require four to six weeks of recovery, depending upon the severity of the break. The Eagles open the season in six weeks, when they travel to Cleveland on Sept. 9.

I really don't know why Reese Witherspoon insists on wearing this silhouette over and over again when it only kind of works for her, and by kind of I mean it doesn't. The blue is nice, and she looks AMAZING for just having had a baby, but I don't dig this Louis Vuitton gown at all. It looks wrinkled, it doesn't fit well, and the black panels are trendy but here they look cheap. Her hair looks nice, though.

Deer/Horse Flies
Deer and horse flies are medium to large, about 1/4 to 1 1/8 inch long; most are stout-bodied. They range from black to pale yellow, usually with stripes on the abdomen, often with bright green or purple eyes.
- Deer flies (Chrysops species) are smaller than horse flies (1/4 to 1/2 inch long.) They are brownish, usually with dark areas (smoky mottling) on the wings. The eyes usually are brightly colored.
- Horse flies (Tabanus species) are larger than deer flies (3/8-1 1/8 inch long) and are gray or blackish in color. The wings usually lack mottled areas but the largest species have wings that are entirely orange-brown or black. The eyes often have horizontal colored stripes.
Eggs are laid in masses of 100 to 1,000 and are covered with a jellylike material on leaves, rocks, or debris overhanging water or on moist areas. Upon hatching the larvae fall into the water or onto moist soil. In general, the larvae of horse flies are carnivorous and cannibalistic, feeding on insect larvae, snails, slugs and earthworms. However, the larvae of deer flies feed on decaying organic matter. They go through 4 to 9 instars (growth stages).
Developmental time (egg to adult) may require 3 months to 3 years. Adults live about 3 to 4 weeks, and produce 5 to 6 batches of eggs. Most species overwinter as larvae. The mouthparts are for tearing and lapping, not piercing.
Most deer flies and horse flies are woodland or forest dwellers. Most species feed during full daylight and are most evident on windless, hot, sunny days. In general, larvae of horse flies (Tabanus species) develop in wet soil close to bodies of water and the larvae of deer flies (Chrysops species) develop in wet mud often in semi-submerged situations. However some species are aquatic, living in rapidly flowing streams to stagnant ponds and some only in bogs, while others live in relatively dry soil or in rotten wood.
Adults are strong fliers and are capable of flying over 31 miles. However they generally do not disperse widely, usually less than 2 miles. Moving and dark objects are most often attacked. They often rest on paths and roads, especially in wooded areas. A slight drop in temperature or increase in wind will greatly reduce the numbers flying.
The females can enter structures in considerable numbers and then congregate at the windows since they are attracted to light. Both sexes of many species occasionally come to lights at night.
Both sexes feed on nectar, but females require a blood meal for egg laying.
What you can do: Outside control of horse flies and deer flies is not practical because of the inaccessibility of larval developmental sites, the distance adults can travel, and because adults in general do not continually reuse the same resting surfaces. During outside activities, the wearing of light-colored clothing and insect repellents can reduce attack by horse flies and deer flies.
If these flies are entering structures, the best method of control is exclusion. This includes screening all doors and windows. Self-closing doors are helpful. In commercial structures, dock doors should be equipped with an interior screen door, which is lowered when the dock door is up, but the dock not in use, to permit ventilation.
Non-public exterior doors should be equipped with air curtains, which come on automatically whenever the door is opened to help prevent entry.
Properly placed insect light traps will help eliminate deer flies and horse flies once they enter the structure. Outdoors, insect zapper-type light traps placed away from the residence may temporarily reduce populations of horse flies and deer flies in the vicinity.
Professional Solutions:
Peoria Pest Eliminators pest management professionals can recommend and install the appropriate type and number of insect light traps to help alleviate horsefly and deerfly problems in and around structures.
Insecticides are of little use except for the possible application of a residual insecticide coating on attractive fly landing targets strategically placed on the property.

No. 4 South Carolina 24, College of Charleston 4
COLUMBIA -- Monte Lee was bemoaning College of Charleston's hitting before Tuesday's game here. While it was far from special, the Cougars' pitching is what took them out early against the defending national champions.
Powered by leadoff hitter Adam Matthews' pair of home runs and eight RBIs, South Carolina blasted Charleston, 24-4, in front of 6,555 fans at Carolina Stadium.
"I'm sure it was a night for them to forget," Matthews said. "It was one for us to remember."
The Gamecocks (15-4) scored 15 runs in the first three innings -- more than they'd scored in a game all season. The 24 runs set the new stadium record, and it was the most runs scored by South Carolina since it defeated Charleston Southern, 38-0, in 2004.
A five-run eighth inning, led by bench players and reserves, got the Gamecocks within two runs of the most runs College of Charleston had allowed in its baseball program history.
Lee, a former South Carolina assistant and Midlands native, took the loss hard. He was walking through the outfield tunnel, to the team bus, just seconds after the last out was finally recorded.
"Sometimes in this game you're surprised by the outcome, and tonight was one of those games," USC coach Ray Tanner said. "It's a situation where I understand the shoe could be on the other foot, and it very well may be when we go down to Charleston. You don't enjoy it as much when someone you know is on the other side.
"He has a great team. They're going to be fine."
South Carolina hit four home runs Tuesday after hitting three in the past five games. They hit seven doubles and whacked 19 hits.
"We had some of the best at-bats we've had in a long, long time, and in consecutive fashion," Tanner said.
After dropping the Friday night SEC opener to Georgia, USC has now won three consecutive games, continuing to gain steam in advance of this weekend's series at No. 1 Florida.
"We've got confidence," Matthews said. "I think we're going to get on a pretty good roll right now."
First, though, the Gamecocks host Rhode Island tonight. Adam Westmoreland will start for USC, Tanner said.
All nine starters in the USC lineup registered a hit Tuesday by the seventh inning after Evan Marzilli's two-run double that made it 19-3.
That includes All-American Jackie Bradley Jr., who snapped an 0-for-20 skid with a three-run home run in a seven-run second inning. He jumped on reliever Casey Lucchese's first pitch, sending it into the opposite-field seats in left.
Bradley singled in his next at-bat, later scoring.
"I finally found a groove a little bit," Bradley said. "I'm glad to be back in it."
Tanner added: "I'm happy for him. He was a little frustrated."
A 400-plus-foot bomb from Matthews to the deepest part of the park, just left of the center fielder batter's eye, was the highlight in an eight-run third inning that caused things to get out of hand very early in the evening.
"I'm seeing the ball really well right now," said Matthews, who had no home runs and three RBIs before a career night. "It was good to get that first (home run) and the second one. Hopefully it'll continue."
The result was far from what Lee wanted after the Cougars (15-7) dropped all three games this past weekend in the Cougar Invitational, scoring a total of five runs against Southern Miss, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Charleston used eight pitchers, none lasting longer than two innings. The staff walked 10 and hit four batters.
Starter Robert Jeroszko (2-2) gave up six runs in 1 2/3 innings.
In scoreboard shock, Charleston did not string together good at-bats against USC starter Colby Holmes, who is looking to get himself in the weekend rotation mix.
Holmes (2-0) went six innings, allowing three runs on five hits. The sophomore walked two and struck out six, mixing his off-speed stuff well with a fastball that topped out at 88 or 89 miles an hour.
Of course, pitching with a 15-run lead helps.
"It was kind of shocking," Holmes said. "All those runs gave me more confidence."
Tanner said Holmes, who threw 87 pitches, is a strong possibility to start Sunday at Florida.
"If he was sharp, he could go 4-6 innings," Tanner said, "if we decide to go in that direction."

Man, Squall7, I just have to say, you put up a good fight, and I respect you completely. I have had to deal with my fair share of morons online before, and ABC is definitely right up there with the worst of them. You made great points, and if ABC wasn't so ignorant, he would have conceded a long time ago. Everything you said about UMD and N64 was completely relevant, and people on these forums could learn a thing or two from you. It certainly is depressing that we live in a society which has nearly no morals or personal ethics anymore, and where if anyone who is man enough to say something about it is called a pussy, when really anyone who calls that man a pussy is just ignorant and a hypocrite. ABC, you are moronic, and you fail miserably at trying to prove your smarter, better, and tougher than Squall7, when really you're the one acting like you're in kindergarten. Are you such a "man" that the best retorts you can come up with are pictures of crying babies and nonsensical, incoherent sentences that are littered with swear words? You really should try growing a pair and walking up straight, before your life has passed you by and your left with not a soul who truly cares for you.
Oh, and about the topic at hand: although the information that ABC initially provided was useful in trying to distinguish what Sony's true focus is with the PS3, so was Squall7's, because one should constantly use history as a reference for what the future entails.

In unit 4C of the Pueblo County jail, any human presence draws inmates to the narrow windows of their solitary cells.
"Ma'am, do you work here?" asks a tall African-American man with a steady, serious gaze, who wants to know when his glasses will be delivered.
"I'm the warden, Darlene Alcala," she replies. Alcala is small and elegant in black, and sports a friendly smile at odds with the cinderblock bleakness of the jail. "You can call me chief."
Though they live on opposite sides of the jail's heavy doors, these two have come to see eye-to-eye on a crucial point: Inmates like him don't belong here.
The man has been in 23-hour-a-day lockdown for a year and a half now. Like most of his fellow residents in what's known as administrative segregation, he is mentally ill. Brief interactions with the staff are nearly the only contact he has with the world outside his cramped cell.
As a shortage of funding has depleted options for those in need of treatment for mental illnesses, there's still one place that can't say no: Jail. Inpatient psychiatric beds have dwindled to 1,093 for the state's entire population, according to state human services data, a decrease of 20 percent from five years ago. People with mental illnesses are more than five times as likely to wind up in jail or prison.
"Years ago we deinstitutionalized mental health treatment," says Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle. "People felt it was shameful that we had people in custody or locked up in mental health facilities. Now, instead, we lock them up in jail."
Weld County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Reams said in his 16 years on the job, he's seen the number of mental health treatment options in the county decline.
"We spend a significant amount of time with a small section of the jail population, trying to treat those individuals," Reams said. "It's not an everyday thing, but when we have a few in the jail it can be a time drain and take up a lot of resources."
He said a select number of law enforcement officers receive special needs training, which helps officers identify and know how to deal with people who have behavioral health issues.
"I think in law enforcement, we've become frustrated with the revolving door with some of these individuals," Reams said. "It's frustrating to go over and over to the same calls with the same person, not just for the officer, but also person dealing with it. It's not a good fit."
The burden on jails is growing. A 1992 jail survey found that 11 percent of Colorado inmates had a serious mental illness, according to research by Public Citizen's Health Research Group and National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. This year, 10 county jails surveyed by I-News reported that, on average in 2013, 18 percent of their inmates were mentally ill.
Sheriffs say that the trend is noticeable from year to year. At the Douglas County jail, for example, the number of mentally ill inmates has grown 10 percent in the past three years, even as the general daily population has dropped 25 percent.
Once they're in, inmates with behavioral health problems have more trouble getting out. The seven metro Denver counties in 2008 found that mentally ill inmates stayed an average of five times longer than other inmates. In Pueblo, an inmate detained for a misdemeanor stays an average of 28 days; mentally ill inmates jailed for similar offenses stay between 171 and 180 days.
"Jails and prisons have become the warehouses for people who aren't getting treated elsewhere," says Attila Denes, a captain at the Douglas County jail. "It's among the most expensive and least humane" ways to provide care.
Solitary confinement is routine. Even as Colorado's new state prison chief, Rick Raemisch, has pledged to remove mentally ill prisoners from isolation because of concerns that it is counter-productive and inhumane, jailers say they still use 23-hour lockdown to keep staff and other inmates safe.
Paying for confinement
Two miles northwest of the jail, on a road spiked with wind-driven tumbleweed, is the campus of the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo, one of only two state psychiatric hospitals.
Beds at the state hospitals have disappeared steadily even as Colorado's population has boomed, the victim of federal and state budget cuts and a change in philosophy that emphasized removing people from institutions. In 1980, there were 1,103 public psychiatric beds in Colorado; in 2014, there are 553, many of them earmarked for those charged with or convicted of crimes.
Pueblo Sheriff Kirk Taylor says that the state psychiatric hospital sends its patients to the jail when they lash out or act violently, including people who have previously been found not guilty by reason of insanity. At the same time, Taylor and other county jail officials complain that the state hospitals frequently turn away inmates who are put on emergency mental-health holds because they pose a danger to themselves or others.
"These people don't need to be in jail," says Taylor. "They need to be in a therapeutic community."
Meanwhile, state psychiatric hospitals can't receive people on mental-health holds unless they've been treated and cleared first for any physical problems, says Dr. Patrick Fox, a Colorado Department of Human Services official who oversees the hospitals. He suggests taking inmates to the emergency room.
At issue, in part, is the question of who bears the high costs of housing mentally ill inmates. Psychotropic medications, additional security and lengthier stays all add to the costs.
Staying out of jail
The best hope for cutting the costs of jailing mentally ill inmates may be to keep them out of jail in the first place.
Some jurisdictions have built mental health courts—also called wellness courts—intended to divert people from jail to treatment. Some, like Denver, are pushing to enroll inmates in health insurance so that they can get the care they need once they leave jail.
The state's flagship project for improving mental health treatment — a planned network of crisis centers, now stalled amid a lawsuit — may help direct people to more settings more appropriate than jail, says human services official Fox.
For now, Colorado's jailers and their inmates are stuck dealing the best way they can with a broken system.
Staff writer Casey Kelly contributed to this report.

Gov. Jim Gibbons will address the state Monday night in a televised speech designed to tell Nevadans how serious the state's budget crisis is.
The state is looking at an overall gap between revenues and expenses for this current budget cycle of more than $881 million and a potential gap in the next biennium of $2.4 billion.
Gibbons said the address also will lay out some of the things he believes must be done to keep spending in line with the available revenues.
In the half-hour speech, Gibbons is expected to emphasize that
20 percent cuts in general fund spending cannot be absorbed without hitting both K-12 education and university budgets.
Nearly 90 percent of public school budgets are personnel costs. At issue is school teachers' salaries can't be reduced unless the teachers agree to a change in contract. The alternative, according to school superintendents, is massive layoffs, larger class sizes and, possibly, a shortened school year.
The governor will again emphasize that he doesn't intend to give lawmakers the option of raising taxes when he calls a special session - tentatively planned for the last week of February. The governor has sole power to set the agenda for any special legislative session he calls.
Gibbons said Thursday that every other agency in the state has the ability to review contracts in cases of emergency. He said his administration is looking at whether declaring an emergency would give the ability to school districts as well.
"They need that ability to adjust those contracts," he said.
But teachers' union president Lynn Warne rejected the idea of pay cuts during Thursday's hearings before the Interim Finance Committee.
"The Legislature is turning its back on finding a revenue source to solve this budget crisis," she testified. "Instead they are looking to students and educators to make more sacrifices."
The Nevada State Education Association represents some 28,000 teachers and public school employees.
Gibbons must also address other areas of the budget, and spokesman Dan Burns said earlier in the week the governor would also spell out at least some of his proposed solutions. He has proposed serious reductions to programs that help the mentally ill, disabled and elderly as well.
The 6 p.m. speech will be followed by an address from Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford, D-Las Vegas, which will also be televised statewide.

Protein = body needs for muscle repair/growth
Altough they keep you full protein shakes should be used as supplements, don't just drink protein shakes and avoid eating, should be used if your not getting enough protein in your diet.
Me personally ill eat a high protein meal bout 1/2 hours before I hit the gym and a protein shake after I've finished.
If you wanna lose weight you gotta keep your diet clean
Real food > protein shakes.

Short answer; No. Read a little about calorie intake and expenditure. There is no shortcut to losing weight but there are a ton of products for people who think they can throw money at the problem. Don't fall into that trap. It's half education, half execution.

Losing weight is about creating a calorie deficit.
Protein Shakes for the most part if you're talking about Whey are low in calories. So it's not going to keep your from losing. But in combination with your training it will help you maintain your lean body mass while you lose weight

Aren't there different types of protein? Like there's one's to build lean muscle only, then there's other proteins for those who want to get bigger. Like Whey Protein does help for what you want. O.N. sells whey protein and Pro Complex. The guy at vitamin shoppe told me pro complex is to get bigger while whey protein is to get lean muscle. Something like that. I went with the whey protein, i'm not fat though, i'm skinny. Not interested in getting big, just getting cut.

It was my understanding that people generally increase protein intake to build mass, not to lose it.

It helped me lose weight in that I would cut down my meals and drink a protein shake instead of eat a snack.
So like a light breakfast and lunch everyday with a protein shake in between. It seemed to work.

In relation to the TS' thread.
Can somebody school me on protein shakes real quick? I'm in great shape, work out 4-5 days a week, mostly my boxing work out regime and a lot of roadwork and stuff. My diet is very clean and healthy and I have never taken any protein shakes but would like to start drinking them as I feel I don't get enough protein in my diet. I also work graveyard shift and some nights I don't feel like eating anything for hours. Can a protein shake help me here? I'm 5'9 145 lbs, and would like to maintain that weight or possibly a few pounds lower.

"A testament to the power of creativity in language, lifeand love." Heller McAlpin, Washington Post
No other writer can blend the science of the brain with the love of language like Diane Ackerman. In this extraordinary memoir, she opens a window into the experience of wordlessnessthe language paralysis called aphasia. In narrating the recovery of her husband, Paul West, from a stroke that reduced his vast vocabulary to a single syllable, she evokes the joy and mystery of the brain's ability to find and connect words. Deeply rewarding to readers of all kinds, Ackerman has given us a literary love story, accessible insight into the science and medicine of brain injury, and invaluable spiritual sustenance in the face of life's myriad physical sufferings.

Besides being a book about helping stroke victims, it was a touching love story of how a wife, who new her husband well, designed a language therapy that was based on his own personality and helped him recover from a seemingly hopeless situation after suffering a stroke. You get an intimate look into their lives and the journey of recovery. The book was heartwarming and a delight to read.
I enjoyed reading and identfying with the authors experience. Her ability to put in words this experience was unique and identifiable.
I thought it was incredibly brave to have written such a painfully honest remembrance of a hard time and a dedication to love. Few people today can try through good and bad to love the one they're with like the author did. Read this book!
In "One Hundred Names for Love," Diane Ackerman managed to craft both a medical memoir, as well as a love story. She weaves the moving story of how her life and her husband's changed, as a result of his serious stroke, and how they responded together. After showing us what their life and relationship were like "before," she allows us to walk through the stages of the "after," as they walk down new paths, and create new but still loving relationship dynamics. Ackerman shares enough medical info to help us understand the effects of the stroke, and yet she doesn't get so bogged down that we lose interest. I don't want to say more; I don't want to give away any spoilers. But this is a great book, and I highly recommend it.
I bought this book for a specific reason: my husband had suffered a stroke 3 months earlier and he, like Ackerman's husband, was aphasic- unable to produce words. Both Ackerman and her husband are authors and words were not only the tools of their work,but also the basis of games they would play. The review indicated that the author had helped her husband regain his voice and I bought the book mainly to see what it was she did. It became clear that this couple was unique in their love of language, immersing themselves in puzzles, arcane word games- many of the words I had never heard- and word play before his stroke. For this reason, it was difficult to compare our lives to theirs. In addition, Ackerman was able, for better or worse, to be with her husband all the time,and had, as well,the benefit of a unique, dedicated assistant to help.It wasn't the "how to" guide I was hoping for. However, it is a moving memoir written by a wife who lived through this experience, and in this we shared similar paths. She spoke of the sorrow she felt in coming to terms with knowing life would never be the same and her husband would never be the same. I understood her grief and have felt it myself. I recommend this book especially to other spouses who have had to face the enormity of change that stroke forces upon your loved one and your relationship. In the end, there is always hope. Improvement is painfully slow, but it does come, and we learn to reshape our lives and move on together.
The subject matter was interesting. The unconditional love shown in the book is to be admired. I did find it too "wordy" for me. I know the two main characters were "wordsmiths", but I got annoyed with that aspect of the book. It was as though the author was "showing off" their knowledge of words.

My real name is Thomasina but most people just call me Tammy.
I've loved crochet since I was a child, when someone bought me the Ladybird Learn to Crochet book for Christmas. I tried to teach myself, and failed, so many times before it clicked. But, when it did, my parents couldn't have been happier!
No longer did I moan about having nothing to do.....a copy of Golden Hands and I was no trouble for days.
As I got older, I worked my way through most of the crafts in those magazines, (which I still have today), but crochet and sewing were the only ones to capture my imagination completely.
Back in the 80s, pregnant with my eldest daughter, I suddenly had a reason to crochet again - bonnets, booties, matinee jackets and no end of blankets awaited her arrival; it was something I picked up and put down many times over the years that followed.
It wasn't until the birth of baby number 5 (last year), that I started writing patterns for the things I made - I guess being teased by my family that I might get old and forget them was the prod I needed ;)
The patterns I bring you now are a mixture of both old and new designs - I hope you find something you like.

This pattern is for a simple leafy vine with, or without, beading.
Make a long string for a pretty lariat or work a shorter length, for use in a headband or perhaps to use as an edging/trim on a garment!
The example is worked with 20 beads pre-threaded, (motif, link) 10 times and (motif) 24 times to end.
Materials: Scraps of yarn (allow 1m per motif), an appropriately sized hook and beads, (with holes sized to suit the yarn), for the beaded version.
This pattern is written in UK terms with US equivalents where applicable.
