One-Sided Debate Is Not The Answer
September 12, 2013
Members of Congress debating President Barack Obama's recommendation the U.S. go to war with Syria have much to discuss....

"Seems you only want proof from GWB regarding Iraq, even thouh the CONGRESS and the dozens of other countries in the coalition believed the intelligence."
The same way you blame Obama for everything.
LOL, HILARIOUS! Over and over, irony...irony...irony.
The blind cannot see. Why bother?
First, Seadog says the reason for the 2nd Iraq War was WMD's in the 80's. Then, he disregards the plain common truth that after we invaded and leveled the country, no one found any speck of evidence for WMD's. None. Even moreso, that was the SECOND time we leveled it.
Additionally, Seadog then seems to prove himself the only person left in this country who believes the Second Iraq War was justified. In fact, he seems to be quite complacent with arguing for its validity - 10 years later, trillions in waste later.
What's more absurd is while he justifies that debacle (over ONE TRILLION WASTED), he comments on other articles demanding that the gov't cut free lunch at schools. For

Over and over, Seadog is proven wrong in his attempts to manipulate the conversation with logical fallacies in order to justify the Second Iraq War. The one most people with half a brain of common sense see was a mistake. His justification comes because of his blind zombie-like sheepie mentality.

According to Seadog, we should attack them all.

Seadog thinks Vietnam, North Korea, the USSR/Russia, and Israel never had nor do not have WMD's?
Seadog, once again, his ability to critically think puts him at a disadvantage. Anyone with common sense knows the USA is FAR from the only one with WMD's.
And still, Seadog, I think we should whip Germany again. Am I right? Your response is "we beat them". We beat Iraq in the first Persian Gulf War, so why did we go at it again?
LOL, Seadog...

Guess Seadog doesn't know about Screwball. As expected, only breeds what he's been fed.
So there are two scenarios: Either A), someone lied to them and they did not investigate because they were ignorant or B) someone lied to them and they didn't investigate because they didn't care to. Or, the third option - they made it up.
So either Bush, Cheney, Powell, etc. were liars, idiots, or deceivers. You pick!
And Seadog missed my metaphor. Germany had WMDs in the 40's - let's get over and investigate! Vietnam, Korea, Israel, Russia...they've all had WMDs since the 50's. Investigate them all!
Or better yet, take the Seadog approach. Attack them.

" Are you saying that those sources are liars? Are you saying the thousands of Kurds that died did so of natural causes?"
No, numbskull. I'm saying using justification for a 2002 war on intelligence from the 80's is not only a laughable way for you to justify your position, it's also absurd. But normal people know that because they possess the ability to think critically. I almost feel bad for you.
"Are you placing any blame on the intelligence that was given to the President and Colon Powell?"
The intelligence that was made up by the administration? Sure.
"Are you saying Powell lied to Congress and the UN? If so, he should be in prison."
Indeed, many have been calling for Bush, Cheney, Powell, etc. to be tried.

Note Seadog's response to my comment but complete disregard for the content.
" If you do, than the data was correct - Saddam had WMDs and had already used them."
In 1918, Germany used mustard gas during The Great War. Guess we should attack them because they clearly were in possession of WMD's!
I will disregard the other parts of your responses because they are straw men. No where did I mention anything about Congress.

Backing Up Your Hosted Website
Hardly anyone hosts their own web servers anymore, and hosting space is cheaper than ever. If you're using shared hosting, rather than a dedicated server, you won't have root access and can't directly follow our rsync setup tutorial.
If you'd like a few tips and tricks to getting using your EVBackup account with shared (non-root) hosting space, read on.
Web Host Requirements
Here are the services that your webhost needs to be able to support in order to backup to your EVBackup account:
- Shell access (SSH, preferrably but telnet /rsh will work as well)
- rsync (We only support full backups once per month; all other backups are incremental)
- cron / crontab (Something needs to run tasks automatically on a scheduled basis)
Administrative Requirements
Put simply, this is a list of required skills that you need to have to be able to effectively setup and manage backing up your hosted web site to your EVBackup account:
- Familiarity / comfort with command-line tools (e.g.: editors like vi/vim, Emacs, nano, etc.)
Some experience with a Unix / POSIX shell
(if you get the following joke then you're probably OK)
mkdir yellow_pages; cat > yellow_pages
Getting Started
If you meet the requirements listed above, then probably the best place to start is with the rsync basics and automation tutorials. The sorts of things that you'll want to back up include:
Your web pages.
- Usually this is found in /var/www or ~/public_html, but this may vary.
- An easy way to identify the location is to login to the webhost's shell and find the path to where you upload your web pages to.
- Your database's data files. Take a look at the MySQL backup tutorials for some direction.
- Data directories. If you upload files (images, zip files, etc.) other than your web pages, then you'll want to back those up too.
Each of these items can be backed up with it's own rsync script, or as separate directives in a single script. Either way works — it all depends upon how much data you have and how often it needs to be backed up. For example, if the source code of your web pages doesn't change all that often — but your database changes daily — then you might want to backup your web pages once per month and your databases daily.
Here are some common problems that people encounter when backing up their hosted websites to their EVBackup accounts. If you need further help, please let us know:
No Super User (root or sudo) Access
This is the most common problem you're likely to run into; if you're on a shared hosting server you almost certainly won't have root access. There are two changes that need to be made to our tutorials:
- Remove the sudo directive from all commands. This will run your commands as your local user, not root.
- Preface your home directory before all the /backup directory paths; e.g. ~/backup. You must do this because you won't have write permissions for the backup directory unless it is located inside your home directory.
- Show me »
- « OK Hide this
Example Command Shown in Tutorials
sudo mkdir /backup
Example Command without sudo and with ~ path
mkdir ~/backup
Finding rsync and cron
Some web hosts don't have rsync and cron readily available to you; while others don't have rsync and cron installed. Generally, you find out about this when you type rsync into a SSH terminal and the following is returned:
rsync: command not found
To find out if rsync, cron (or any other Unix tool) is installed, enter the following into the SSH shell.
whereis rsync
whereis cron
If they are installed, you should see something similar to the following:
rsync: /usr/bin/rsync /usr/share/man/man1/rsync.1.gz
cron: /usr/sbin/cron
If they are found, then you can simply substitute the full path to the command:
- Show me »
- « OK Hide this
rsync Command Shown in Tutorials
sudo rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /backup/ssh_key" /data firstname.lastname@example.com
rsync Command with Full Path, ~ Home Directory, No sudo
/usr/sbin/rsync -avz -e "ssh -i ~/backup/ssh_key" data firstname.lastname@example.com
Backing up Multiple Shared Accounts to One EVBackup Account
Essentially, you'll configure an rsync script for each shared hosting account. However, you'll want to put each different account into a different folder on your EVBackup account.
- Show me »
- « OK Hide this
For example, suppose that you have three accounts:
- Account A is a hosted web server with pages stored in ~/public_html
- Account B is a data server with data stored in ~/data
- Account C is a database server with MySQL dumps put into ~/backup/db
Website A
rsync -avz -e "ssh -i ~/backup/ssh_key" ~/public_html firstname.lastname@example.com:A
Server B
sudo rsync -avz -e "ssh -i ~/backup/ssh_key" ~/data firstname.lastname@example.com:B
Database Server C
sudo mysqldump -u dbuser -h localhost -p dbpass --all-databases > ~/backup/db/all.sql
sudo rsync -avz -e "ssh -i ~/backup/ssh_key" ~/backup/db firstname.lastname@example.com:C

A slim model that makes an ideal point and shoot for people who want an all purpose camera.
The Casio Exilim EX-Z600 is a solid basic camera. While not outstanding, images are acceptable and the compact size is ideal for all the time, anywhere photography.
With a sharpness score of 1645 in Imatest, this camera outshines any other compact we have looked at so far. With a result like this, you would expect crisp, defined edges with great representation of detail, and indeed, some parts of our shots did exhibit these qualities. Unfortunately the test also highlighted some issues that counterfeit this brilliant result somewhat. Imatest adjusts the sharpness of the image supplied allowing the sharpness result to be compared among cameras. Imatest reports the amount of adjustment in terms of a % of undersharpening or oversharpening against the adjusted image. The greater the value of this figure, the greater the adjustment to the image. The EX-Z600 exhibited 25.8% undersharpening. While preferable to oversharpening that is common in compact cameras, the disparity when combined with the chromatic aberration score of .155% made our shots not the stunningly clear pictures they should have been. The images included some noticeable colour fringing and a slightly unrealistic look. Nevertheless, they were still better than many cameras we've looked at recently.
The EX-Z600 performed admirably in the rest of our tests. Imatest gave it a rating of 9.71 for colour which is above average. Anything below 10 we consider to be very good and at this level it is difficult to spot inaccuracies with the naked eye. Blue was the colour that gave this model the most trouble, along with minor errors in the red and yellow spectrum, but overall we were more than satisfied with its colour representation.
The EX-Z600's stunning Imatest noise score of .37% makes this one of the best performers we have seen in this area. Our shots were all clear and speckle-free. Even at its highest ISO of 400, this camera only scored .58%, which is better than many models at their lowest setting.
If not for the undersharpening and chromatic aberration issues, this camera would be one of the best purchases in this category; however even taking them into consideration this is an excellent choice.
The EX-Z600 is a basic compact model and does not include manual control features. All the basic point and shoot settings are there, including exposure compensation, ISO settings up to 400, white balance presets and a variety of image options (sharpness, contrast, etc). There are two continuous shot modes, with one operating at an impressive six frames per second (but capped at just three shots) while the other takes a much more sedate 1.2 shots a second (without the capping). Rounding out the feature-set is a gigantic list of 32 pre-set scene modes. These cover every conceivable situation from Food to Text and Business Card. This list of features is more than adequate for someone who just wants to take holiday or party snaps.
We found the EX-Z600 to be quite speedy as well, taking just 1.5 seconds to power up. With a miniscule shutter operation time of .05 of a second it will capture all the action and Casio has complemented this with an excellent 1.6 second shot-to-shot time.
Casio sticks to a design formula with many cameras being brushed metal cases slightly larger than a credit card face, and slim to boot. The EX-Z600 fits this mould exactly. The EX-Z600 will fit comfortably in most bags or pockets.
The controls are fairly minimalist, with a basic directional pad and menu buttons. Everything is laid out well and is easy to navigate. The menu system is broken up a little strangely, with some camera functions in one menu tree while others are in another, but it doesn't pose a huge problem.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

NORTON SHORES, MI -- Mona Shores schools are nearly at capacity and have virtually no room for new schools-of-choice students next year.
The district posted 15 openings for nonresident students next year -- all of them in kindergarten -- and most of those are already spoken for, said Mona Shores Superintendent Dave Peden. The number of openings is down dramatically from last year when the district had room for 220 new choice students.
"We're just about at capacity," Peden said. "We're right where we want to be."
Mona Shores accepted the most new choice students, 172, last year, the vast majority of whom lived in the Muskegon school district. In all, Mona Shores currently has about 620 choice students, who comprise 16 percent of the total student body, Peden said.
The window for applying to attend a different school district through schools of choice is between April 14 and May 23. All districts in Muskegon County accept choice students, though Oakridge -- which for many years didn't take any choice students -- has openings for just two kindergartners.
RELATED: Check out schools of choice openings and 5 things you should know about them
Accepting schools-of-choice students is among eight "best practices" for school districts established by the state of Michigan. To qualify for $52 per pupil in "incentive" funding, districts must meet seven of the practices.
Peden said Mona Shores gives schools-of-choice preference to incoming students who are siblings of current students or who attend the district's preschool program. When those preferences are considered, "realistically, there are no vacancies" in the district next year, Peden said.
A couple years ago, each Mona Shores building principal was asked to determine what the ideal enrollment at their building would be, Peden said. The figures came out to 900 students at the middle school and 1,300 at the high school. Ideal elementary class sizes are 23 or fewer in kindergarten through second grade and 25 or fewer in third through fifth grades, Peden said. That works out to about 280 students per grade through eighth grade and 310 in each high school grade, he said.
"I think (schools of choice) has helped with a little diversity in the district. I think it's helped us with enrollment to offer every program that we have," Peden said. "We wouldn't have as many programs at the high school without schools of choice."
With schools of choice, the district has been able to control its enrollment, which was at 3,890 in February. But Peden said recent housing developments in the district could mean some overcrowding at the start of the next school year.
"We're starting to see a lot of houses built," he said. "We're going to have to keep an eye on that."
The district also will begin cracking down on students whose claims to be residents of the district are questionable. Those who administrators suspect are living with relatives only so they can attend Mona Shores schools will be asked to provide more paperwork to prove that's the most suitable home for them, Peden said.
"The only reason you can move in with a relative (and attend the district) is for a suitable home, not because you want to go to Mona Shores High School," he said.

Moms and dads are not heeding the warning that TV poses a risk to infants and toddlers, studies say
By Richard L. Hill
The Oregonian
Parents don't seem to be getting the message that TV viewing by infants and toddlers may be harmful to their child's early development.
Northwest researchers report that nearly half of 3-month-old infants already have become regular TV viewers, with that number jumping to 90 percent by the time the children are 2 years old. And separately, another research team finds that one-fifth of toddlers have televisions in their bedrooms.
Both reports -- published this week in the nation's top pediatric journals -- show parents are ignoring or unaware of recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics that children younger than 2 years old should not watch television. Doing so can thwart brain development, with subsequent risks of attention and sleep disorders, aggressive behavior, obesity and delays in reading and math skills, previous studies show.
Yet researchers from both teams stop short of placing blame squarely on parents. They say busy parents often are swayed by videos and DVDs that falsely claim educational benefit to a child's early development. In any event, many of the youngest viewers do not even know what it is they are watching, according to the researchers.
As for potential neurological challenges, the researchers expressed caution.
"Not every child is going to have problems," said Frederick Zimmerman, an associate professor of health services at the University of Washington who co-authored the first study. "But TV viewing at this important developmental time period just subjects a child to ... added risk."
Zimmerman and his colleagues -- Dr. Dimitri Christakis of the Seattle Children's Hospital Research Institute and Andrew Meltzoff of the UW Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences -- report their findings in the May issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. Their study is the most detailed look at TV viewing by children younger than 2.
In a telephone survey of 1,009 parents in Washington and Minnesota, they found that 9 months was the average age at which infants were regularly exposed to television, DVDs and videos. The daily viewing time was less than an hour for children younger than 1 year old, rising to 90 minutes by age 2.
The researchers also looked at the reasons parents are exposing their children to TV at an early age. As expected, one of the top three explanations -- "I need some time to get things done" -- supported the long-held belief that television often is used as an electronic babysitter. Another leading reason was that TV viewing was "enjoyable or relaxing" to the child.
But the No. 1 reason given by nearly one-third of parents was that TV viewing was educational and good for their child's brain.
"I think the finding that education is a primary motivator of parents show that they are really trying to do what is best for their children," said Christakis, a pediatrics researcher. "But unfortunately, they're being victimized by aggressive marketing campaigns that are making claims that are unsubstantiated about DVDs and videos being educational -- those claims are without merit."
Meltzoff, a developmental psychologist, agrees.
He said parents "should feel confident that high-quality social interaction with babies, including reading and talking with them, provides all the stimulation that the growing brain needs. It's not as though TV or a DVD provides an extra vitamin of some kind in the first two years of life."
The second study -- published in the May issue of the journal Pediatrics -- found that television is pervasive in children's lives from 6 months to 6 years. A telephone survey of more than 1,051 parents found that on a typical day 75 percent of their children watched television for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
The most striking finding was the percentage of children with televisions in their bedrooms, where TVs have no place, according to guidelines by the American Academy of Pediatrics. About 18 percent of children 2 and younger had sets in their rooms, while about 40 percent of 3- to 6-year-olds had TVs.
Asked why they put televisions in their children's rooms, more than half of the parents said that it frees up other televisions in the house to enable "other family members to watch their own shows." Other reasons were that it kept the child occupied to allow the parent do other things, and that it helps the child fall asleep.
"Parents should think long and hard about television in their younger children's lives because we don't know the long-term neurological implications for long viewing times," said Elizabeth Vandewater, the study's lead author and an associate professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
"Television should be a treat. Parents will say their kids love these videos and DVDs that claim to be educational. Kids say they love chocolate cake, too, but that doesn't mean you give it to them for dinner every night."

Source: BBQ USA by Steven Raichlen (Workman Publishing, 2003)
Method: Direct
Yield: Serves 4
Advance Preparation: 2 hours for marinating the steaks
2 flatiron or skirt steaks (about 2 to 2-1/2 pounds, each about 3/8- to 3/4-inch thick)
Coarse salt (kosher or sea) and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 bottle (8 ounces) dark Mexican beer
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped (for hotter steaks, leave
the seeds in)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 bunches scallions, trimmed
4 to 8 jalapeño peppers
4 flour tortillas
Lime wedges
Your favorite salsa in an attractive bowl
You'll also need:
2 cups wood chips or chunks (preferably mesquite or oak), soaked for 1 hour in water to
cover, then drained
1. Generously season the steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the steaks in a nonreactive baking dish just large enough to hold them and drizzle the olive oil over them. Turn the steaks a couple of times, rubbing them with your fingertips to coat with oil
2. MAKE THE MUCHA CERVEZA MARINADE: Combine the beer, lime juice, onion, garlic, chopped jalapeno(s), and cilantro in a nonreactive mixing bowl and stir to mix. Pour the marinade over the steaks and let them marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for 1 to 2 hours, turning them a couple of times so that they marinate evenly.
3. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high. If using a gas grill, place all of the wood chips or chunks in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and run the grill on high until you see smoke. If using a charcoal grill, preheat it to high, then toss 1 cup of the wood chips or chunks on the coals.
4. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the scallions and whole jalapenos on the hot grate and grill until nicely browned on all sides. This will take 2 to 3 minutes per side (6 to 9 minutes in all) for the jalapenos and 3 to 4 minutes per side (6 to 8 minutes in all) for the scallions. Transfer the grilled vegetables to a plate.
5. Remove the steaks from the marinade and drain, discarding the marinade. If using a charcoal grill, toss the remaining 1 cup of wood chips or chunks on the coals. Place the marinated steaks on the hot grate and grill until cooked to taste, 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, rotating each steak a quarter turn after 2 minutes on each side to create an attractive crosshatch of grill marks. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. To test for doneness, use the poke method: the meat should be gently yielding. Transfer the grilled steaks to plates or a platter and let rest for 3 minutes.
6. Warm the tortillas on the grill, about 15 seconds per side, and transfer them to a cloth-lined basket. Serve the steaks with the grilled jalapenos, scallions, and tortillas and salsa on the side. To eat, wrap bite-size pieces of steak in a tortilla with some of the scallions, jalapenos, and salsa.

SPOKANE, Wash. — Nearly 400,000 people attended concerts at the Gorge Amphitheatre in 2013, generating $4.6 million in state and local taxes, according to an economic study created by the owners as they seek to expand the scenic venue.
The Gorge is on a cliff above the Columbia River in rural Grant County, about 140 miles east of Seattle. Despite the remote location, it draws some of the nation's top musical acts and festivals. On concert days, the 22,000-capacity amphitheater becomes the largest community in the county.
'The Gorge Amphitheatre has become an increasingly valuable cultural and significant economic asset to Grant County and the central Washington region," said Jeff Trisler, president of Live Nation Northwest, which produced the study.
"The jobs created and taxes generated from Gorge concerts are substantial," Trisler said. "Revenue concerts bring to Grant County governments far outweigh any costs incurred by those governments to serve concertgoers during our 20 event days each year."
The Gorge employs about 1,500 people each concert weekend, he said.
However, concerts at the venue also strain the resources of local law enforcement agencies and sometimes produce drug arrests and overdoses. Last year, concert attendees left $400,000 in unpaid bills at the nearby Quincy Valley Medical Center.
The economic analysis, which covers the 2009 to 2013 concert seasons, was created by former Washington State Revenue Director Donald R. Burrows. It found:
—Grant County government received $1.5 million in taxes in 2013 and $5.3 million during the past five years.
—A total of 1.4 million people attended 60 concerts and festivals at the Gorge during the past five years, including 387,732 in 2013. Grant County has about 90,000 residents, and most concert attendees are from outside the county.
—Gorge attendees spent a total of $199.6 million in Grant County and in other nearby counties during the five years.
—The attendees' 2013 expenditures of $55.8 million were 62 percent higher than the 2009 amount of $34.4 million.
—The Gorge paid $9.1 million in wages and salaries to more than 1,570 full and part-time employees and contract workers during the five year period. The majority of those workers were residents of Grant County.
"We expect our positive economic and fiscal impacts to grow in importance," said Danny Wilde, general manager of The Gorge, as Live Nation seeks to modernize and expand the facility.
The Grant County Planning Department is currently weighing a request from Live Nation for a major expansion of The Gorge. The company wants to add a restaurant, café, cabins, outdoor cinema, grocery and camping stores, more stage space, additional RV spaces and 1,000 more camping sites.

Grapefruit League Game 22: Yankees at Blue Jays
- Hello from Dunedin, where the Yankees and Blue Jays are meeting for the second time this spring. It's in the mid-70's without a cloud in the sky, a perfect sunny Florida day, and the flags are lightly blowing in from right-center field while the Spin Doctors' "Two Princes" plays on the left-center field speakers.
- Slow morning at Yankees camp, but Joe Girardi did have a couple of small tidbits. Lefties Pedro Feliciano and Boone Logan are both being slowed by aches – Feliciano has a little dead arm soreness near his left triceps, and Logan had back spasms after throwing a scoreless inning last night vs. Tampa Bay. Feliciano will throw a bullpen tomorrow; Logan might be out for four or five days.
- Joba Chamberlain is scheduled to throw a bullpen tomorrow.&n
- Girardi promises he'll have the regular season order of A.J. Burnett and Phil Hughes in the Yankees rotation tomorrow. They've gone through camp with Hughes following CC Sabathia.
- Girardi seems to love the idea of having Eric Chavez on the bench. "I think there's some upside there," he said. "You watch him swing the bat – I saw him hit a double over the left fielder's head, he has pull power. We know that he can play defense. He's an interesting guy to have, for sure."
- Alex Rodriguez has homered in three straight games, driven in a run in five straight and hit in all 11 of his spring contests. He's not on today's trip, though. Last night's homer outdid Jorge Vazquez for the longest Steinbrenner Field blast of the spring – they don't offer tape measure distances, but it cleared the center-field batters eye with plenty of room to spare.
- Sergio Mitre returns to action today in relief. They have A.J. Burnett slated for 75-80 pitches.
- There are 13 days until Opening Day.
Grapefruit League Game 2: Yankees at Phillies
- Joe Girardi said he plans to give Ivan Nova and Sergio Mitre, both contenders for rotation spots, two innings apiece this afternoon. As far as his bid for the slot goes, Girardi said, "The stuff is there." They'd like to see Nova improve at getting out of trouble when he gets into it, but there's probably not a whole lot they'll be able to gather on that subject today.
- A.J. Burnett, Freddy Garcia and Romulo Sanchez threw over at George M. Steinbrenner Field this morning. Burnett and Garcia sat down to simulate throwing two innings. Girardi said all three looked good and used all of their pitches.
- Mark Teixeira said his right big toe is bruised, a day after being hit by a pitch.
- The Yankees were still buzzing about Jorge Vazquez's tape-measure home run that cleared the center-field batters eye at Steinbrenner Field. Girardi said that it is possible that Vazquez could work his way into the mix that the Yankees are considering Eric Chavez for, a backup corner infielder.
- Chavez is playing first base today because, as Girardi said, he already knows Chavez can play third base. All those Gold Gloves aren't just for show.
- There are 32 days until Opening Day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from George M. Steinbrenner Field!
CC Sabathia is scheduled to go four innings under the lights here tonight, working with Jorge Posada for the first time in game action. Posada – making his second appearance behind the plate – is expected to catch five innings. When Sabathia is done, Mariano Rivera will relieve him, pitching his first of eight to 10 spring frames. Tonight's game is on YES.

Game notes: Tonight marks the 21st of 37 spring games for the Yankees, and the 19th of their 33-game Grapefruit League slate … Alfredo Aceves and Edwar Ramirez will also pitch for New York … Random facts — the oldest player in camp is Rivera (11/29/69); the youngest player in camp is Eduardo Nunez (6/15/87).
UPDATE 7:05 p.m.: Damaso Marte threw 30 pitches in the bullpen and said he felt "great." Robinson Cano did some tossing and said he's on track to play second base on Friday, though it remains unclear if he'll travel to Fort Myers. With Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada both staying back to work out in intrasquad games, it might make sense to dispatch Cano across the street to Himes Avenue as well.

Pain Management
Find local midwives, doulas, and childbirth educators in the Natural Childbirth Directory
Find local midwives, doulas, and childbirth educators in the Natural Childbirth Directory
Epidural and spinal are general terms for techniques for administration of pain medications. They refer to the location of the administration, either the epidural or spinal space. There are a variety of medications that are administered by regional block techniques, and there are variations in how the medications are administered including combining two or more medications.
The number of women who use an epidural during labor varies around the world, and even in different hospitals in the same area. Because it is an advanced anesthetic technique, it is only available to women in developed countries and in some countries is only available to the wealthy. The World Health Organization does not consider an epidural to be essential for care in normal birth.
According to the statistics from each individual governments, New Zealand has a 24.2% epidural rate; Canada has a 45.4% epidural rate. Other governments do not report the use of epidurals in an easy to use format. However, it is important to remember that different areas within the same country can have very different statistics. The Listening to Mothers II survey reported a 76% epidural rate among women giving birth vaginally.
Before you can receive an epidural medication, your blood will be drawn and evaluated. This is usually done upon admission to the hospital. If you have not already, you will begin receiving IV fluids to prevent a drop in blood pressure. You will be attached to an electronic fetal monitor to obtain a baseline strip recording of your baby's heart rate. The monitor will remain attached to you until your baby is born. It can be helpful to include any special information that may affect your satisfaction with an epidural in your birth plan. This may include drug allergies, unplesant reactions or a history of substance abuse or aquired tolerance. This information helps the anesthesiologist plan medications and doses.
Once everything is set up, you will need to get into a position either lying on your side or hunching over so your back is arched. You must not move during the procedure which will last about two contractions (5 to 10 minutes). Your back will be washed with an antiseptic and covered with a sterile drape. You will receive a small amount of anesthetic to numb the injection sight. Once your skin is numbed, a large needle is pushed between two of your vertebrae just above your waist. The anesthesiologist will guide the needle into the correct spot, and then test to make sure the needle is properly positioned. Once the needle is in the right space, a thin flexible tube is fed through the needle. The needle is withdrawn, leaving the tube in place. The medication is inserted through the tube, and the tube is looped and taped to your back to ensure it does not pull out.
After the tube is in place you will be assisted into a comfortable reclining position. You will be asked to rate the effectiveness of the pain relief, and depending on your questions you may receive more medication or be shifted to a different position. Depending on the preference of your care team, your tube may be connected to a pump that continuously infuses more medication into the epidural, or you may receive top up doses at regular intervals.
When it comes to relief of labor pain, everyone agrees epidurals are the best medication for the job. But when the question of how an epidural affects labor is asked, a variety of points of view compete for attention. In fact, there is some heated disagreement on epidurals in childbirth.
Part of the problem lies in the fact that an epdural is a process for administering medications - not a medication itself. So two women receiving epidurals in two different hospitals at the same time could have very different experiences. The amount and type of medications vary as much as the policies around epidural use. Unfortunately, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the combined effects of such a variety of procedures.
The second part of the problem is in the research itself. Most research into pain medication use for labor is interested in how well the medication eliminates the pain. Side effects are usually a secondary issue, if the research looks at them at all.
In order to find out more about the effects of epidurals on labor, the Maternity Center Association included reviews of epidurals in its project into the nature of labor pain and its management. As a part of the project, two separate teams of researchers investigated the effects of epidurals on childbirth, and a third researcher reviewed the most common side effects.
The two review groups agreed that women who used epidural pain relief were more likely to have a longer second stage of labor (pushing), more likely to need forceps or vacuum extraction and more likely to have a fever.
Some effects of epidurals were only investigated by one team or the other, so were only found by one team. Among these effects of epidurals are:
The researchers also found that epidurals may be associated with:
In four areas the teams came to different conclusions:
Why did they find different results? Each team set its own criteria for what studies could be included in the project. A study that may have been acceptable to one team may have been unacceptable to another. Because they used different sets of research they found some contradictory results.
In examining the most common side effects, the research team focused on the effects of the "light" or "walking" epidural. They found a wide range of frequency in side effects.
The -caine derivatives include mepivacaine, chloroprocaine, bupivacaine, lidocain and ropivacaine, and may be used for an epidural or a spinal. These medications are injected into the epidural space by a catheter and may be given as a continuous drip.They may cause you to feel relaxed, help you to sleep and cause a loss of sensation in the lower half of your body.
Possible side effects of -caine derivatives include maternal fever, decrease in blood pressure, slowing of labor, reduced urge and ability to push, increased use of forceps, vacuum extractor or cesarean birth, fetal heart-rate changes, or subtle changes in newborn reflexes.
Narcotics include meperidine, morphine, fentanyl and sufentanil. These medications are used for the "walking epidural." They give long term pain relief while preserving some muscle strength to allow you to move in bed and possibly stand or walk. Possible side effects of narcotics include nausea, vomiting, urine retention, itching, and fetal heart-rate changes.
To have an epidural you need an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist to perform the technique. If no one is available, you can not get an epidural. Small hospitals may not have 24 hour in-house anesthesiology. This means if you decide to have an epidural in the middle of the night it either may not be available or you have to wait for the anesthesiologist to wake up and get to the hospital. A similar situation can occur in very busy hospitals when several women want an epidural at the same time or if the anesthesiologist is assisting a cesarean surgery. For some women, the wait is unacceptable and they choose other forms of pain relief.
To find out about the policies at the hospital you plan to give birth in, attend a tour or information night. You can ask questions about their anesthesiology coverage, how they handle busy days and what other options are available if an epidural is not immediate. You will also learn about any other policies that may limit your access to an epidural such as results from blood testing or progress in labor. Your midwife can also let you know any health issues you may have that could limit your access to an epidural.
For most women an epidural does an extremely good job of relieving their pain. 81% of the women in the Listening to Mothers II survey said an epidural was very helpful. But keep in mind that 10% said it was only somewhat helpful and another 9% said it was either not very helpful or not helpful at all. Be sure to alert the medical staff if you feel the epidural is not as effective as you expected so they can work with you to improve your comfort.
Because an epidural is a technique, not a medication, there is a wide range of pain relief that you may feel. In general, the lower doses that allow you the ability to have some strength and movement in your legs provide less pain relief then the stronger doses that make it difficult or impossible to move your legs. Find out if you will be given the choice between more relief and lack of mobility and less relief (generally feeling pressure of contractions but not strong enough to be called painful) and some mobility.
Some hospitals offer what is called a walking epidural. The idea of using such low dose medication to allow pain relief and mobility is a good one. However, in practice very few mothers who use a walking epidural actually get up and walk. For 35-85% of mothers they either feel too weak and shaky, do not have assistance or are unable to walk because of wires and tubes attached to their body.
Although the image of laboring with an epidural is that it is blissfully easy and relaxing, the reality is most mothers using an epidural look more like they are in an intensive care unit than a birth center. Because of the risk an epidural adds to labor, your baby's heart rate will be monitored with an electronic fetal monitor. Most often this is accomplished with an external unit, but sometimes an internal monitor is used. The medications used in epidurals increase the risks for you too, so your blood pressure and pulse will be monitored during labor. This means in addition to the tube attached to your back you will have wires attached to either your abdomen or your vagina, a blood pressure cuff on your arm and a pulse meter on your finger.
The numbing effect of an epidural prevents you from feeling the need to empty your bladder. To ensure a full bladder does not block your baby's progress, you may require a urinary catheter (between 30 and 60% of mothers are catheterized). Because an epidural can decrease the available oxygen for your baby, you may need to wear an oxygen mask over your nose and mouth. When narcotics are used in an epidural (common in a combined spinal/epidural) about 62% of mothers experience itching all over their body.
Hospitals have different policies about eating and drinking during labor. Be sure to ask how having an epidural will affect your ability to nourish yourself.
It was once believed that an epidural needed to be shut off for pushing. Studies now lead doctors to believe there is no benefit to turning off the epidural and it causes more pain for mothers. In fact, if you keep the epidural and wait until your baby's head descends enough to be visible you not only decrease your fatigue from pushing, you also decrease the risk you will need a cesarean, forceps or a vacuum.
Epidurals are only able to change the way your body physically processes the sensations of labor. Presumably, removing the pain of contractions will improve your satisfaction with childbirth, but not always.
Four factors are consistently related to a woman's satisfaction with childbirth. These are:
The fact that pain relief is missing from this list was a surprise to the researchers, who naturally assumed pain relief was the most important factor in a satisfying birth. Instead, it appears the relationship you have with your midwife is significantly more important to your having a good birth than how effective an epidural may be. Because of this, part of having the best epidural experience possible is ensuring you have chosen a supportive caregiver who is a partner as you make decisions for birth.

Medication provides benefits for adolescents | Letter to the Editor
A comment recently made during a community discussion of methamphetamines must be addressed. It was stated that children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are prescribed Ritalin (methylphenidate), "a close cousin to amphetamines: Statistically, this puts them at risk for amphetamine addiction." That view is not supported by scientific research. As an addictions professional, I fear this will become the next Vashon "urban legend," with parents discontinuing medications that are profoundly helpful.
Imaging studies show differences among ADHD subjects in brain areas that control movement, reasoning, logic, behavioral control and sensory reward that are also involved in substance use disorders (SUD). ADHD is associated with problems thinking, learning, controlling behaviors, maintaining interpersonal relationships and developing psychiatric disorders and SUD. Adults with untreated ADHD may suffer occupational impairment due to poor education, performance and reasoning. Perceiving themselves as failures, many with untreated ADHD attempt to self-medicate poor attention, restlessness, difficulty learning and processing information.
Every published study indicates that individuals with untreated ADHD have a significantly higher risk of developing SUD. However, substance abuse is a hugely complex process involving many factors. The belief that stimulants become the drug of choice is erroneous: ADHD individuals treated with stimulant medications feel "normal" not high.
A 2003 meta-analysis of ADHD research concluded stimulant treatment of ADHD reduced the risk for substance disorders. The latest study demonstrates that ADHD adolescents treated with stimulants had a decreased risk for SUD and those not treated with stimulants were twice as likely to develop SUD. In fact, the sooner stimulant treatment was started, the less likely adolescents were to develop SUD. However, when stimulant treatment was not started until age 18, the rates of SUD were higher. Medication is one component of treatment. Decisions require collaboration with professionals expert in diagnosing and managing ADHD.

An interesting and energetic solo performance about teaching in the public school system in LA. There are 2 major strands to the play: one is the actor's experiences as a teacher (this is the dominant story) and the other is his experience being a...continued

CASSADAGA - Trustee Rudy Abersold introduced a resolution Wednesday designed "to better assist Cassadaga residents with Public Works and Water Department issues that arise."
The village board adopted the resolution that calls for all public works concerns to be brought to Public Works chairman Trustee Jeff Frick or Mayor LeeAnn Lazarony.
Frick can be reached at 595-3548. The mayor can be reached at 785-3007.
Any water department requests are to be made to water department chairman Abersold who can be reached at 595-3271 and also may be made to the mayor.
These village officials will then bring these concerns to the full board for consideration.
If any emergency situation arises, Public Works Superintendent Tom Fetter, any employee or public official should be contacted.
"These changes are necessary for the board of trustees and the public works to better serve the needs of our residents and for the board to better understand the daily activities of the public works department," Abersold said.
Since the board makeup will be changing this coming year with Trustee Frick not running for reelection, this resolution remains in effect until March 31, 2011.
In other business, project engineer Bob Armstrong provided an update on the village's water development.
The High Street water line replacement is progressing and the new water storage tank at the top of High Street is being prepared for installation.
Armstrong said the state is permitting the directional drilling of the new Bard Road water line under Route 60; the Maple Avenue water line replacement plans are being forwarded to the Chautauqua County Health Department for approval and drilling of the new water well on village-owned property behind Cassadaga Elementary School should begin in January.

Tonight's Interview: Terry Pollreisz
After yesterday's off-day, the LumberKings return to action on a six-game East Division trip, starting with a three-game set at South Bend. It'll be a historic night at newly renovated Coveleski Stadium (pictured left) as the Kings play on an artificial turf surface for the first time ever.
Clinton's last game was equally historic as they closed out a three-game series with Lansing by overcoming a 5-2 deficit with a nine-run seventh inning. Bases-loaded walks to Anthony Phillips and Carlton Tanabe helped tie the game, and a two-run double by Robbie Anston (listen: Anston 2-R double 7.18.11), two-run single by Mike McGee (listen: McGee 2-R single 7.18.11) and two-run homer by Subway Slugger of the Game Mickey Wiswall (listen: Wiswall 2-R HR (#8) 7.18.11) gave the Kings an insurmountable six-run lead. Most astoundingly, all nine runs scored before Lansing right-handers Dayton Marze and Shawn Griffith could record a single out. It's the only time in my six seasons the LumberKings have posted a nine-run frame, and might very well be the franchise's record (I don't have accurate records on such things prior to 2006).
LumberKings' hitting coach Terry Pollreisz has been around the game for a long time, and he's never seen anything like it either. Polls weighs in on the monster inning, the offense's recent ability to score in bunches, the progression of the hitters from April until now, a philosophy change in batting practice, maintaining a positive attitude with his hitters and more.
Listen Here: Pollreisz Interview 7.20.11
Tonight's Game Notes: 7.20.11 kingsnotes
Left-hander Tony Butler, coming off a 6.0-inning, nine-strikeout game against Great Lakes, makes his fourth start for the LumberKings in the opener of this three-game series against the Silver Hawks. Manager Mark Haley's club is 9-15 this half and is hitting just .218 in the last 10 games, but does feature the Midwest League's top home run hitter and RBI producer, Yazy Arbelo (23 HR, 74 RBI). First pitch of game one is set for 6:00 PM CT, listen online at 1390kcln.com.
Monday Morning Notes (7/18)
If you're wondering why I'm up so early, it's because we have our 10 AM "Pack the Park with Kids Day" today. The LumberKings close out the three-game set with Lansing with right-hander Taijuan Walker (4-4, 2.66) looking to halt a four-game losing streak.

Sunday Notes (7/17)
In the immortal words of Denny Green, "we had 'em, and we let 'em off the hook". That rings true for last night's 8-5 loss to the Lansing Lugnuts. The LumberKings held leads of 4-3 and 5-4, then had the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th but still fell in 11 innings.
Tim Morris tripled home three runs and scored on a Kalian Sams single in the fourth to give Clinton a 4-3 lead, but right-hander Jonathan Arias served up a game-tying home run to Marcus Knecht. Stefen Romero belted a thrilling solo home run with two outs in the bottom of the eighth, but the Lugnuts capitalized on third-baseman Matt Browning's throwing error to again tie the game. The Kings loaded the bases with two outs in the 10th and Kalian Sams fisted a 3-2 pitch towards second-baseman Matt Nuzzo, whose throw appeared to have been late. Rather than a game-ending infield single, Sams was punched out by base umpire Dustin Klinghagen, and the game went on.
In the 11th, left-hander Jon Hesketh came on for the first time since May 22 (had been activated from the DL a day prior). Hesketh struggled and allowed three runs, and the Kings couldn't recover in the bottom of the inning.
Yet, Eddie Menchaca's club is still 1.0 game out of first place, still tied with Beloit for what is now third in the West. Left-hander Anthony Fernandez (3-2, 3.32), fresh off a career-high 8.0-inning win at Beloit his last time out, starts for the LumberKings, while Lansing throws right-hander Casey Lawrence (6-8, 3.78). The first pitch is scheduled for 2:00 PM, listen online at 1390kcln.com.

Tonight's Interview: Jesse Goldberg-Strassler
A triple by Jetsy Extrano and RBI double by Anthony Phillips was all the offense could muster last night against Great Lakes' right-hander Zach Lee as the LumberKings fell 6-1 to the Loons, dropping just their second series of the second half. After a six-run third inning gave the Kings a 6-2 win in game one, the bats scored just two total runs over the final two games of the series.
Left-hander Nate Reed yielded five runs but only two earned over 4.0 innings and relievers Ryan Kiel, Tyler Blandford and Jonathan Arias combined for a run over the final 5.0 innings. Still, one run usually isn't going to cut it. The Kings, fortunately still in second place and a game out of first, now take on the Lansing Lugnuts. The 'Nuts have the East Division's best record of 51-37, captured the first-half East Division Wild Card in a race with Great Lakes that went to the final day, and are now 13-8 and in second in the division in a meaningless half. First-year manager Mike Redmond's club just swept Kane County, the first place team in the West. Yes, runs are going to be needed to compete with Lansing, who leads the MWL in runs scored (469).

To get a bit of a scouting report on yet another mysterious team from the East, I've caught up with Lugnuts' third-year broadcaster Jesse Goldberg-Strassler.

Starting Lineups: 7.16.11 lineup
Right-hander George Mieses (3-10, 5.42) gets the game one start against Lansing tonight, first pitch scheduled for 6:00 PM on "Stay Late Saturday". Mieses has been good when given run support to work with (2-0 in two starts prior to his last time out, 12 runs of support), but fell for the 10th time his last time out in a 5-0 loss at Beloit. He'll go up against lefty Egan Smith (4-3, 3.48) of the Lugnuts. Listen to the broadcast on 1390kcln.com.

Tonight's Interview: Going Green with Brad Seward
The LumberKings led 1-0 on a Carlos Ramirez solo home run heading into the seventh inning last night, but the bullpen combination of Edlando Seco, Tyler Burgoon and Jessie Nava surrendered three late runs as the Great Lakes Loons came back for a 3-1 win last night. Left-hander Tony Butler had his most impressive start to date, striking out a career-high-tying nine batters while limiting the Loons to four hits over 6.0 scoreless innings, but Seco tied the game on a bases-loaded walk in the seventh and Burgoon allowed the game-winning run on a walk and two singles in the eighth.

Tonight is not only the rubber match as Eddie Menchaca's Kings look for their sixth series win in seven tries this half, it's also "Going Green Night" at the ballpark sponsored by the Clinton County Area Solid Waste Agency and WQAD-TV. Thus, it's time for my yearly chat with Brad Seward, the Director of Operations and Education for the CCASWA and the veteran Public Address voice for the LumberKings.
Brad and I talk about the annual "Going Green" event, the expanded efforts by the LumberKings to recycle at Alliant Energy Field, the Enviro-Kids program and baseball topics such as the memorable 2010 season and this year's second-half turnaround.
Listen Here: Brad Seward Interview 7.15.11
Starting Lineup: 7.15.11 lineup
Left-hander Nate Reed, a winner in his first start of the year his last time out on July 9 at Beloit (5.0 IP, 3 ER), makes his second start and 16th appearance for the LumberKings in the series finale tonight against the Loons. He'll have a tough challenge as he tries to outduel Los Angeles' Dodgers' first-round pick, right-hander Zach Lee (5-3, 3.32). First pitch is at 7:00 PM, listen to the broadcast at 1390kcln.com.
Tonight's Interview: Matt Browning
Right-hander Taijuan Walker's nine-inning complete game effort might have stolen the show last night, but the LumberKings also put together their third six-run inning (tying a season-high for most runs in one frame) in the last week, scoring six times in the third inning to beat Great Lakes, 6-2. Mike McGee doubled home a run, Mickey Wiswall added an RBI double (listen: Wiswall RBI double 7.13.11) and Stefen Romero launched a two-run homer (listen: Romero 2-R HR (#9) 7.13.11), but it was Matt Browning's clutch two-run single to center (listen: Browning 2-R single 7.13.11) that actually produced the tying and game-winning runs.
And so, it's time to chat with Browning for the first time. Seattle's 43rd round pick out of James Madison University enjoyed success in Pulaski last season (.330, 4 HR, 24 RBI in 34 games) and is making an impact both defensively and offensively as Clinton's third baseman in 2011. Browning is 3-for-8 with three RBI over his last two games, just over 10 days removed from being struck in the helmet by a pitch from Quad Cities' right-hander Trevor Rosenthal. He talks about last night's performance, coming back quickly from the injury, his time at James Madison University, his hot start in Pulaski last season and more.

Left-hander Tony Butler, a career 0-0 with a 1.80 ERA in two starts against the Loons (both with Wisconsin in 2007), makes his third start for the LumberKings in game two tonight…he's 1-0 with a 2.53 ERA over the first two outings. First pitch is at 7:00 PM, listen online at 1390kcln.com.
Audio from Walker's Complete Game
In case you missed it, 18-year-old right-hander Taijuan Walker authored another chapter in his amazing first full season in the Mariners' system last night, tossing a nine-inning complete-game win over the Great Lakes Loons. After allowing a first-inning two-run homer to Blake Dean, Walker limited the Loons to just one more hit the rest of the way, struck out seven and retired the final 17-straight batters to end the game.
Here's the final out, Jetsy Extrano to Tim Morris, securing Walker's CG: Walker Finishes CG vs. Loons 7.13.11
It's the first 9.0-inning CG thrown by a LumberKing since right-hander Kenn Kasparek tossed a three-hit shutout on August 3, 2009 against Burlington.
Game notes, additional highlights from last night and a new interview will be posted later today.
Special Guest: Krista Voda
As promised, here's my just-now recorded interview with Krista Voda of SPEED / FOX Sports. We talk about the upcoming Coca Cola 200 race at the Iowa Speedway in Newton, IA, Krista's Clinton upbringing including her days at then-Riverview Stadium, spending time on the sidelines for NFL and NCAA football games, throwing out tonight's first pitch and more.
Listen Here: Krista Voda Interview 7.13.11
A reminder, the Coca Cola 200, Presented by Hy-Vee NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is this Saturday, July 16 at the Iowa Speedway. Watch Krista and the SPEED channel coverage with the race beginning at 7:00 PM CT.
Wednesday Notes (7/13)
I'll have a special pregame interview tonight with Clinton, IA's own Krista Voda, a host/reporter for NASCAR and other motorsports on the SPEED Network and also an NFL/BCS sideline reporter for FOX Sports. I will post the interview either later tonight or tomorrow.
As for your LumberKings content for tonight, the Kings open a six-game homestand against the East Division tonight starting with a three-game set against the Great Lakes Loons (10-8, T-2nd in East). Right-hander Taijuan Walker (3-4, 2.76) makes his 13 start tonight following an outing against Cedar Rapids on July 7 in which he allowed just one hit and struck out 11 over 6.0 innings. First pitch is at 7:00 PM, listen to the broadcast on 1390kcln.com.

Monday Notes (7/11)
The LumberKings lost 5-0 to Beloit yesterday afternoon despite 2-for-4 efforts from both Mickey Wiswall and Stefen Romero and a near-quality outing from right-hander George Mieses (6.0 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 2 K). The Snappers scored four of their five runs in one quick burst in the fourth against Mieses, and the Kings couldn't touch right-hander Manuel Soliman over 7.0 innings. As a result, both teams are now tied for second in the West with 10-7 records heading into tonight's rubber match.
Also found in today's notes, a brief recap of former LumberKings LHP James Paxton's performance in yesterday's Futures Game. Chances are you've seen this already, but K-Pax retired the U.S. side in order in the third inning, including getting Washington's Bryce Harper to ground out to first . Unfortunately, he's still going back to double-A Jackson, so I won't be able to do the Futures follow-up interview as I had hoped.
Tonight's Game Notes: 7.11.11 kingsnotes

A chemical spill at a truckwash facility sent one person to the hospital with burns this morning, the Kearny Fire Department said.
A 55-gallon drum of potassium hydroxide spilled at O.J. Truckwash, located on Lincoln Highway in Kearny. It could not be determined if the drum that spilled belonged to O.J. Truckwash or if it was on a truck that was being serviced.
An employee there was sent to a local hospital to be treated for burns to the hands and face, according to the fire department.
Potassium hydroxide can be used in household products, like soaps, as well as industrial solutions. The substance assists in the manufacturing of detergent. It is often employed as an alkaline builder in detergent formulations, according to Northstar Chemical's website.

LANSING, MI -- A former Grand Ledge parochial school teacher has agreed to a plea bargain that dismisses sex crime charges against him.
Christopher DeMorrow, 40, pleaded guilty last month to domestic violence and aggravated domestic violence before Ingham Circuit Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, the Lansing State Journal reports. DeMorrow was accused of sexually abusing boys at his East Lansing home.
DeMorrow admitted to kicking his then-wife Heather DeMorrow in the back while arguing what to watch on TV. Charges of second-degree criminal sexual conduct and committing/procuring gross indecency between males were dropped, according to the State Journal.
DeMorrow was charged in November 2010, and was placed on administrative leave from St. Michael Parish. His contract was not renewed for the 2011-2012 school year. He has since divorced and become engaged to a different woman, the State Journal reports.
Aquilina released DeMorrow from an electronic tether, which he had been monitored by since being released by bond in April 2011. He is scheduled for sentencing on Nov. 28, according to the State Journal.
DeMorrow faces up to one year in jail.
