Eating things such as chicken soup, garlic and fruits and vegetables is not just an old wives' tale when it comes to fighting colds and flu. Here are some real remedies as featured on Kaboose.com:
Chicken soup: It's not a myth or a wives' tale. It is proven to help a cold!
Congestion in the nose, chest, and throat is a major cold and flu symptom. Chicken soup has specifically been shown in studies to thin mucus secretions.
Garlic: It contains contains compounds, such as alliciin -- an oily substance, which gives it the characteristic odor and provide its antioxidant properties.
Research published in the journal Advances In Therapy found that taking a garlic allicin-containing supplement could help prevent colds and shorten their duration. It's safe for adults but has not been tested on children.
Green tea: The leaves contain antioxidants that can help boost immune functions.
A study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition showed that people taking a green tea capsule experienced 23 percent less bouts of colds and flu overall -- and 36 percent fewer sick days. (But remember, it does have caffeine).
Strawberries, oranges, sweet red peppers, broccoli: Vitamin C offers numerous health benefits when consumed through eating enough fruits and vegetables.
Studies are inconsistent when about whether vitamin C can prevent colds and flu,but it does acts as a cell-protecting antioxidant and an immune booster, which means it can only help.
Lean meats: Maintaining good iron levels is important for a healthy immune system.
Eating lean red meat and poultry, as well as fish and shellfish, provides a type of iron that is easily absorbed by the body.
Honey: A study in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine found that buckwheat honey may reduce cough by coating and soothing an irritated throat.
But don't give honey to children under the age of 1. It could lead to infant botulism.
Hot peppers: Turn up the heat when you get stuffed up!
Capsaicin, the natural compound found in hot peppers that provides the heat and spiciness of the food, can thin mucus, giving you a runny nose to help you breathe better and allow your nasal passages to get rid of germs.

unless D'Antoni gets fired, Gallo isn't going anywhere.
The Knicks do not want to part with Gallo thus making him untouchable, and simply no other team in the league will touch Curry! Making him too "untouchable"
So would you pair the two of them for expiring contracts?
I have wrestled with this one for a while, I think we have all seen flashes of how good Gallo could become. He is a player that looks to do other things when his shot is falling and that is pretty mature for a 21 yr old. He is probably the best all around player on the team....and again he is only 21!
But, we need to move Curry if we are going to make any major moves this offseason. I am pretty confident that we could ship Jared Jefferies to a team like the Spurs in exchange for a couple of second rounders on July 1st, I think he has shown he can do the intagiables to help a team win. Curry has not shown anyone anything so to move him we are going to have give up a major piece!
Gallo's trade value is as bout as high as Curry's is low -and that might be giving too much credit to Danillo!- so really in theory a package containing both would be a wash.
What makes this idea entertainable is the idea that Wilson is looking better -albiet not on the level of Gallo, and doesnt seem to have Gallo's upside- and simply Gallo and Wilson occupy the same position and do not play well at any other position, so one should be moved.
Now if we did package them both-Curry and Danillo- for expiring deals it would give us an additional 14.5 million in cap space so lets say the cap comes in at 52 million that would give us 39 million in cap space next off season plus the MLE and lets say we do move Jefferies -like I think we could- that is 45 million plus the MLE
Now with that kinda of money and flexability on the line Danillo could be expendable. That would give us enough to sign Bosh,Johnson, resign David and Al and use the MLE on a PG like Blake
That is Power House team.....so is it worth it to move Danillo to move Curry?
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
unless D'Antoni gets fired, Gallo isn't going anywhere.
this team isn't going anywhere
This for sure would be the second best team in The East!
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
When i saw the thread i was like Curry "untouchable", great explanation, lol.
As fas as Gallo he is instrumental in building a core and attracting big names. The kid is solid and still has potential to improve. Very well rounded player, versatile, and has length. We will have to stick with Curry or Jefferies unless they opt out or maybe we can trade them for a top player in the 2010 offseason, by then there contracts are valuable as they are expriring.
Jefferies could have some takers by the deadline, but Curry: no chance.
im one of the biggest gallo fans here, i dont want to see him traded. and i hate to say it but giraffe jeffries looks like some1 we cant trade if we want to make the playoffs. but id rather trade jeffries than lose gallo with curry. do we showcase eddy curry though? i mean it seems like there is no way he can improve his stock
NO. NO. and an even bigger NO!
First of all, all this DUMP CURRY nonsense is ridiculous. Curry, as you stated, is clearly untouchable- right now! This season! BUT, we only have ONE year left on the Curry deal.
What is one of the most attractive assets on the market in the NBA these days- the much sought after EXPIRING CONTRACT. This is what Eddie Curry becomes the fraction-of-a-second the final buzzer sounds and this season ends.
It will be TEN TIMES easier to set Curry free this Summer. He might be useful in some sort of sign and trade.... or we might be able to bring in another expiring contract in a swap, or we might be able to bring back another player some team wants to dump.
THIS IS HOW THE KNICKS RUINED THEIR CHANCES TO COMPETE LAST DECADE- their impatience to jettison Patrick Ewing. All we had to do was hold on to PE for one more year, and then we were free. Instead, we brought in bad contract after bad contract, and we just kept digging a hole.
Furthermore, Danillo Gallinari is a rare talent. His potential is unlimited. We are seeing this year ALREADY how his will and competitive spirit are as unique as his shooting talent. ALREADY we are seeing a dude work on his defense.
FORGET leading the NBA in made-3s.... HIs block to end the game the other night is the play of the season for me- especially since it occured immediately after he choked and missed the free throw.
SO.... I have to pass. GALLO is too good to dump in order to HOPE we get 2 good players. AND, Curry is not the anchor everyone is talking about.
In a matter of 6 months, Curry goes from ASS to ASSET.
Maybe POR might inquire about Curry, as their next Big is down.
How about Curry for Miller & Outlaw, numbers match, we're saving 4 mls on Outlaws expirering next year and Millers 3rd is not guaranteed.
Let's hope Pritchard pulls an Isiah.....
cosign with mafra on this one. Eddy is not the anchor you think he is and will end up contributing one way or another.
I don't see Gallo going ANYWHERE anytime soon. He is quite possibly a knick for life if Walsh keeps it together.
Bill Simmons proposed an interesting trade
Fake Trade No. 2 (three-way): Tracy McGrady's EC to the Knicks; Anthony Randolph, Eddy Curry and Cuttino Mobley's EC to Houston; Gallinari to the Warriors.
I would do this.
The only way you trade Gallo is if Lebron & Dwade sign in blood they will play for us next year.

formerly known as
I am a person with plenty of time on my hands. In the last couple of years I have started these blogs/posts mainly to speak my mind and generally release some pent-up frustration.
In my early years I played the guitar ( and still do) for several bands, covering various styles, rock and roll, country and middle of the road.I played as a soloist, writing my own songs, lyrics and poems, and started in folk clubs. So I thought this might be a good way to express myself and hope that I can pass on to other people. While I have been doing this I have also discovered other people whose writing I also like so am learning as I travel this road to discovery.
Update… Have now posted a few and received some good responses, and discovered other good pages. my music had become a little more prominent due to frequenting folk clubs and jamming sessions.
Thank you and Please enjoy..

Cowon iAudio x5 & m4b Audiobook Files
Since the Headphone Jack of my Ipod (plz dont ban me because im an Ex Ipod User^^) broke 2 times in 2 Month, i decided to try out a new brand. Now i read really nice Reviews of Cowon iAudiox5 and im very curious about it, but i need to clear some stuff befor i buy one:
(Sry, for my bad English, its not my nativ language)
+) Is it ok to buy a Cowon x5 or are there better(Or equal and cheaper) products of the same brand out now? (Or even an other Brand)
+) I mostly listen to Podcasts and Audiobooks an i got really used to the Features an Ipod offers (Like selfmade m4b Files with Chapter-& Bookmarks) Is it possible to use those files with an Cowon (*.m4b) and if it is, is the Bookmark Feature equal to the ipod and can i use the Chapter Marks those files feature?)
+) How strong is the Earphonejack? :P Since i made really bad experiences with the ipod, i hope it will last longer And how robust is the overall Buildquality in comperison to the price. greetz Nudel

I don't know know the strength of the earphone jack relative to other players but I have managed to break mine by having it in a pocket together with other stuff so that there were tension on the plug. I lost audio on one ear but since I am handy with the soldering iron I opened it up and resolder the connectors. It is not recommended to do it yourself unless you are experienced in this area.
I managed to break it once more and had to resolder once more (maybe I did a bad job the first time) and I also stopped carrying my player where I put stress on the plug, generally a good idea I would say.
When it comes to the player I think it is quite ok. The battery time on my unit is too short, doesn't last more than a couple of hours. If I turn it off after an hour it will not boot up since it seems to consume a lot of battery during boot. My unit is wierd in that sense.
I am considering to get me some other MP3 player and use the X5 as a ultra portable hard disk. A very nice feature is the USB host thing where I can connect my old Canon IXUS 400 digital camera and transfer files from it, very good for traveling.

Thanks for your advice My only problem left now is the fact, that i'm looking for an MP3 Player wich is recommended for Audiobooks (should have the same features or even more then the ipod Series) Especialy the support of m4b files would be nice (With Chapter- & Bookmarking) Is there an device out there with this features or do i have to buy an Ipod again greetz Nudelsieb
If the M4B files are not DRMed, Rockbox should certainly play them on the X5.
A standard audiobook in non-DRM Windows Media File or MP3 work great on my X5. Audible however is not so wonderful about their golden DRM audio books. The only way to get them to work is to bust the DRM using a host of cracking software. Better to get the mp3 file from the publisher and put it on the X5. Bookmarking is a snap with the X5 so you can return to the same point in the file you were at when you stopped. Also if you pause the X5 it will be at the same place when you return if you are going to start the audio book when you turn the X5 back on.
Audible really needs to make a DRM mp3 file like Rhapsody uses so we can use their files without having to crack them open and extract the meaty book from the crappy shell of an aa file.

Eastern flies past Portland, 68-50
With three Eagles scoring in double figures, and a 36-28 advantage on the glass, the Eastern Washington University women's basketball team cruised past Portland, 68-50, for its first win of the season on Sunday (Nov. 18) at Reese Court in Cheney, Wash.
The win was the second-straight for EWU against the WCC-school, and the third over Portland in the last four years. The all-time series now stands at 15-9, in favor of Eastern.
After struggling offensively in its first two outings of the year, the Eagles found a way to execute on their home floor. Eastern knocked down 45 percent of its shots from the field, which included five made 3-pointers.
"I was pleased with our effort. We played hard today," said EWU head coach Wendy Schuller. "Offensively, we stuck to our game plan, and did the things we wanted to do. We held the ball better, we made extra passes and took care of each other that way."
Eastern was particularly sharp in the first half, hitting 16-of-28 shots to earn a comfortable 44-30 lead heading into the break. The Eagles made 3-of-5 from beyond the arc, and shot 75 percent from the line.
Early in the half, the Pilots took a 9-6 lead after an old-fashioned three-point play by sophomore guard Kari Luttinen. But Eastern responded, scoring 10 unanswered points over the next three minutes. The Eagles never relinquished their lead the rest of the way.
Sophomore Lexie Nelson had 16 of her game-high 23 points in the first period. She made 5-of-7 field goals, and got to the line five times.
"Lexie is a tremendous competitor," said Schuller. "She is as competitive as any player I've ever coached. She just hates, hates, hates to lose. I can only imagine how many hours she spent in the gym by herself after the way we shot the ball against Northridge. It's always good to see someone who has worked so hard for something get what they deserve."
Nelson finished the game with a career-high 23 points, to go along with three rebounds, two assists and one steal.
Within the first five minutes of the second half, EWU had built its lead to 20 at 53-33. Although Eastern shot just 33 percent, the Pilots never got closer than 15 points.
EWU also out-rebounded UP, 21-10, in the second period and earned six second-chance points.
"I think we were a little tentative in the second half," said Schuller. "This was our first time playing with a lead, so we'll just have to learn from it and work on staying aggressive. We did do a much better job on the glass, which is something we talked about at halftime. We were down on the boards in the first half and ended up out-rebounding them by eight in the game, so that is really good for us."
Junior Aubrey Ashenfelter led EWU in that category with 10 rebounds. She also tallied 11 points for her first-career double-double. The Portland, Ore., native also led her team in assists with six, and contributed two steals and one block.
"Aubrey had a really nice game," said Schuller. "She is a great defender, and did a nice job there. She went to the glass, and also had six assists, which is really positive for her. She came out aggressive tonight, which is something we need her to do this season. We've asked her to step up and play a little bit different role than she has been the last couple years."
Senior Carrie Ojeda was the third Eagle in double figures, as she poured in 16 points on 8-of-14 shooting. She also had six rebounds.
"We did a much better job of getting our posts touches," said Schuller. "That is important for us because it's makes the defenses collapse a little bit, which will open up our shooters. Carrie did a good job for us down there. She was physical and gives us that post presence. She is a senior and just knows what she is doing. She knows how to play and communicates for us out on the floor."
Eastern notched 32 of its 68 points in the paint, and also had 23 points off turnovers. The Pilots turned the ball over 20 times, 11 of which were steals by the Eagles.
Junior Chenise Pakootas recorded a career-high four takeaways, while sophomore Melissa Williams had three.
Eastern will now head out for a seven-game road swing, starting with the Cal Classic by Doubletree on Nov. 23-24 in Berkeley, Calif. The Eagles play host-Cal the day after Thanksgiving at 1 p.m.

McMillan's Bar-B-Q & Catering hasn't had too many customers over the past 17 years complain about the food. But McMillan, 67, still values his customers' opinions and has learned not to commit the mistake of cooking according to his own tastes.
"If you try my barbecue and you say there is a part of it you didn't like, I'll ask you how you want it. It's like I'm your architect," McMillan said. "I learn my customers and I learn how to become a gourmet cook for them."
McMillan's philosophy has worked to have his restaurant ranked among the Top 50 barbecue joints in the world by Texas Monthly three times in the past 10 years.
Every five years, Texas Monthly dispatches its food editor and other food experts to barbecue joints across the state to compile its Top 50 list. McMillan's made the list for the first time in 2003 and again in 2008. The Fannin eatery was one of 18 restaurants in the 2008 list to repeat this year. The Top 50 list was published in the May 23 edition.
McMillan, who has been in the barbecue business in Fannin since 1974, caters to businesses and events from Houston to San Antonio to Austin to Corpus Christi. He also gets business from hunters who order food to take to their leases.
In 2008, McMillan was invited to cook during a 10-day event at the National Mall and Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.
"About a million people came through that show and 75 percent of them probably got a barbecue sandwich or a barbecue plate."
McMillan cooks with three types of wood - pecan, live oak and mesquite. He offered samples of his brisket, sausage, potato salad and pinto beans.
The brisket, cut in half-inch slices, was tender and didn't require any sauce. The sausage was moist and seasoned nicely. As I ate the sausage, I couldn't help but keep going back to the brisket. McMillan provided me enough samples to take home and my 21- and 20-year-old daughters agreed that it was some of the best brisket we had ever eaten.
"Brisket is the most difficult piece of meat to cook," McMillan said. "The key thing is taste. I don't care how it looks. If it doesn't taste good, it's not good."
McMillan's also offer two types of barbecue ribs.
"I use the baby back, which is No. 1 and I use the St. Louis ribs, which are a little bit meatier," McMillan said.
The potato salad was sweetened by the pickle relish, but not too much to dominate the other ingredients - pimento, pickles, mustard and mayonnaise.
Penny Ramirez prepares the potato salad for McMillan and also presents the food for the catering events.
McMillan, a native of Westhoff in DeWitt County, served with the Army in the Vietnam War before attending Prairie View A&M College.
"My major was political science, but I went into food services and I loved it," McMillan said. "It's an art."
McMillan holds barbecue-cooking classes some Saturdays during the year along with working 16 to 17 hours a day, seven days a week at the restaurant.
"Barbecuing is a process," McMillan. "First you buy the meat, then you prepare it. Then comes cooking. The final process is tasting and if it doesn't good, you've failed the process."
Along with cooking to his customers' tastes, McMillan does have another rule.
"If a guy comes in here and he's hungry and he doesn't have the resources to pay for a meal, I'll never let him leave here hungry," McMillan said.
McMillan said he is considering stepping away from the pit.
"I'm going to ease up a little bit, probably the next year," McMillan said. "I've paid my dues to the craft. I've learned my clientele. It's time to let the young men come on and cook. I've seen dads bring their sons in here and now I'm seeing the sons bring their kids in here."

Michigan beckons traveling families
History, nature offer fun family destinations
Families visiting Michigan will be thrilled with the many entertainment choices. Nature is abundant throughout Michigan, as is water. A love for history also is ever-present. Michigan remains true to all of these aspects with abundant campgrounds, lakefront activities and scenery, and plenty of historical landmarks and museums. Michigan's catchphrase is "water and winter wonderland," and the state's scenery and history hold true to that.
The Henry Ford
The Henry Ford in Dearborn consists of The Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, the IMAX Theatre, Ford Rouge Factory Tour and the Benson Ford Research Center. To get the full experience, families will likely need to visit on multiple days. Greenfield Village is a great one-day choice. Just remember that it is closed Jan. 1-April 14 for the cold weather, as well as for maintenance. Activities for children and adults in Greenfield Village include touring the historic district, taking a test ride in a restored Ford Model T and experiencing 1880s farm life. The historic carousel ride has an unknown original location, but it's known to have been built in North Tonawanda, N.Y. Greenfield Village is also home to great restaurants. The Henry Ford is clearly a great place to enjoy some of Michigan's rich historical background, as well as a taste of entertainment.
Mackinac Island
If you want to explore the waters of Michigan, try Mackinac Island. The name of this island can be spelled in two different ways -- Mackinac and Mackinaw. Both ways are accepted and pronounced the same. (The French spelled it with the "ac" at the end but pronounced it as "aw," so the British spelled it as it sounded.
Home of the famous Mackinac Bridge, which is the third longest suspension bridge in the world, Mackinac Island is full of family friendly fun. There are walking tours, carriage tours, and biking and hiking trails. For more history, try the various historic parks around the island. Of the parks, Fort Mackinac is one that shouldn't be missed. It is a large part of the island's history, and the regular live demonstrations help showcase that. Kids also will enjoy the Butterfly House and the Wings of Mackinac.
Soo Locks
For more water and history in Michigan, head to the Soo Locks. Boat and ferry tours are regularly offered. Sault Ste. Marie is the oldest city in Michigan, offering families more of the history, water and fun that Michigan is famous for. The Soo Locks are the largest waterway traffic system in the world. Tour boats travel the Great Lakes from Michigan to Canada. What's unique about these rides is that once the boats get to Lake Superior, they are raised up 21 feet to get to the level of the lake. Tours take just a couple hours and are not only a historical part of Sault Ste. Marie, but also are very family friendly. Kids 4 and under are free.

Banking strategy: Now comes the hard part
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. With banks, it should be the other way round.
For too long banks were too alike and this created a very unhappy state of affairs indeed: ranks of identikit firms all trying to be all things to all people. Now future happiness appears to lie in differentiation – pick what you're best at and stick to it. That's the theory anyway. The trouble is, it's going to make things very complicated for banks and their investors alike.
Take Barclays. Last week, the bank's chief executive Antony Jenkins laid out a new strategy that involved cutting a quarter of the jobs and roughly half of the assets in its investment bank. It was widely perceived as a retreat from the unit's fixed income trading roots, which were established in 1997 when Barclays de Zoete Wedd sold its equities and advisory business to Credit Suisse First Boston and changed its name to Barclays Capital.
Structural pick-and-mix
The difficulties that banks face in trading fixed income, commodities and currencies have been widely chronicled. But is Jenkins' decision to play down the bank's historic core competency the right one? That's a good question with no ready answer.
The bank's shares were up 7% in the immediate aftermath of the announcement. But analysts have mostly ascribed this to relief that the investment bank will be smaller, which will make the group more balanced. There is a great deal of uncertainty over whether Jenkins has come up with the right answers for the investment bank.
A tweet by the Financial Times columnist John Gapper summed things up well: "Okay, I now officially don't understand Barclays' investment banking strategy. Might work, I just don't understand it."
We're in uncharted territory here. As one senior investment banker recently said, if you think that there has been an enormous amount of change in the banking industry over the past five years, and there has, it is likely to pale into insignificance compared to the next five. Until now, banks have been reacting en masse to new regulations; now they will be forced to pick their own strategic paths.
This is much, much, much harder. Banks face dilemmas in every direction they turn.
Which brings us back to Barclays again. Almost every bank's fixed income trading is hurting but Barclays is hurting more than most. In the first quarter of this year, fixed income, currencies and commodities revenue of US banks was down 12% on last year, according to Citigroup research. Among European banks it was down 18%. At Societe Generale it was even worse, down 30%. But at Barclays it fell more than 40%.
Nor is this about just one bad quarter. The share of global FICC revenues generated by the leading European banks has been shrinking for a long time and is down by a full six percentage points since 2011. (Their equities businesses, by contrast, have been quite stable.)
Why? Deleveraging for one thing. But European banks are also overweight in areas like rates and foreign exchange – so-called "macro" products – that have been particularly hard hit by the slowdown. Barclays is "the poster child" for both these trends, according to Citigroup.
So, bravo Mr Jenkins for biting the bullet. Except there's a snag. Most of the fixed income trading assets that Barclays has thrown into its new bad bank are "non-standard FICC derivatives, non-core commodities and specific emerging markets products", according to analysts at Jefferies. These things consume a lot of capital; hiving them off will help with the deleveraging. But, if anything, this means the business mix is even more tilted towards those troublesome macro products.
If those asset classes don't pick up soon, that is going to start looking like a mistake. But if Barclays had binned those products and they had rebounded, it might well have been an even bigger error. Who'd be a bank chief executive, eh?
If life is getting harder for the banks, it is also getting harder for bank investors. How do you go about picking the winners and losers from the current turmoil? How do you decide if Barclays, or any other bank for that matter, has the right strategy? Remember, the economics of the business will probably keep changing as marginal players pull out of certain business lines, adding to the confusion.
How to compare?
As one investment banker recently said, each bank is likely to end up belonging in a unique category of one. This means that comparisons between different firms will be rendered moot. The only real metric that you can use to judge the relative performance of different banks is return on equity.
Which is fine up to a point. Investors have been patient. They know that the banking industry faces a huge amount of regulation and they have given banks the time to figure out whether the problems they are struggling with are cyclical or structural. But on one thing almost everyone agrees: banks will have to start earning their investors more than their cost of capital sometime very soon.
So focusing on return on equity makes sense. Except for one thing: bank equity is a completely amorphous, if not specious, concept. If anyone needed reminding of this, Bank of America helped out last month when it upped and lost $4 billion of capital under fully phased Basel III rules and $720 million of Tier 1 common equity following an accounting foul-up.
So the best means of measuring the relative merits of the increasingly diverging strategies of different banks will be a collection of numbers generated by complicated and sometimes conflicting accounting treatments that rarely have much basis in economic reality and which even the banks and the regulators appear not to fully understand and sometimes get very wrong.
Good luck everyone, we're going to need it.

Hamels Disappears Along With The Bats
Prince Fielder of the Brewers played magician today and made Cole Hamels disappear; Fielder nailed him with a line-drive in his pitching arm, just below the shoulder in the 4th inning. Hamels left the game having given up 2 runs on a Ryan Braun homer, but he also struck out 6 batters and was really on his game for the first time this year. No word yet on how this injury will affect him.
JA Happ came in for Hamels to get the Phillies out of the inning, but then allowed 3 runs in the 5th on a Fielder bases-clearing double. Ryan Howard could have saved the Phillies that heartache, but he dropped a sure double play ball that would have ended the 5th before the damage was done. No matter though; the Phillies only scored 1 run on a Matt Stairs homer that broke up Dave Bush's no-hitter in the 8th. The Phillies lost the game 6-1 and had only 2 hits on the day.
So, where, or where, have the Phillies bats gone? Perhaps they are hiding in Fielder's huge, baggy pants? Is he going to pull a rabbit out of that uniform too? And where is the Phanatic with his new magic act to make the bats reappear? I do hope they find them soon.
Break Out The Calendar
The April 20 Phillies vs. San Diego Padres rain-out has been rescheduled for 7:05 p.m. on Thursday, July 23. Anyone holding tickets for the 4/20 game can use those tickets for the rescheduled game on July 23 at Citizens Bank Park. Dollar Dog Night has also been rescheduled for the new game date.
The Phillies vs. Washington Nationals rain-out in Washington on Wednesday, April 15 has been rescheduled for 1:05 p.m. on Saturday, May 16 as part of a split doubleheader. And just to clarify for those unfamiliar with a "split" doubleheader: If you have tickets for 4/15, you can use them for the 1:05pm game on 5/16; after that game ends, you will have to leave and need a separate ticket for the 7:05pm game. Both games are not included. Bummer, I know.

I hope that Cole will be okay. I read about him getting hit on MLB.com.
As great as our 11-4 start has been, I'm not really sure you can classify a team that just got swept as "red hot" =/
I shudder to think what may be hiding inside Fielder's pants – there's certainly plenty of room in there. Why does it seem that more often than not the Phillies are sleepwalking through the games after a big offensive outburst? 11 runs Tuesday, 1 each the next two games. Aargh!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Oooh. Dave Bush is a four letter word in Philly. Then again, so is "Cole".

I learned to swim a few weeks ago, but I still stay in the shallow end of the pool. I think I'll stay in the shallow end of these arguments as well:
• It looks like the new victim of attacks from Congress is the public employee, and the unions that help them acquire pensions that can help them survive a retirement where they often can't draw a Social Security check.
The Senate Republican Committee didn't want deficit-neutral emergency funding given to states to keep firefighters, police officers and teachers from being laid off by states in budget crunches … at least not until their conditions were met.
"No state bailouts should be contemplated," the committee said in a statement, "until the wages and pensions of public sector employees are brought into line."
I can think of something else that could be brought in line.
When a member of Congress is complaining about unions, wages and pensions for firefighters, police officers and teachers:
A) the government employee making $174,000 a year is railing about the economic drain of the government employee making around $40,000 per year.
B) the government employee who can get a full pension in as little as five years is railing about the government employee who likely worked at least 20 years to get their full pension.
C) the government employee who belongs to an organization with approval rates around 30 percent, yet is provided numerous benefits (like free postage) to help them keep their job, is railing about the unions that help other public employees keep theirs.
I'm not holding my breath for Congress to get rid of their pensions and salaries, even when about two-fifths of them are already millionaires. Just like federal spending isn't pork when it's in your district, wages and pensions aren't a problem when your name's on the check.
• I'm an NBA fan, no doubt. But I'm not sure I like the say-one-thing, do-another economics of the sport.
Commissioner David Stern said a few months ago that he expects teams to lose $370 million this season.
I like the job Commissioner Stern has done with the league, and agree that economics are changing to the detriment of pro sports franchises. Seriously, will the average New Yorker spend $4,000 on Knicks season tickets, or spend far less for a 50-inch high-definition TV, a subscription to NBA League Pass and a really comfortable couch so they can watch everything at home?
But let's look at the Miami Heat's offseason, and the contracts they gave out. LeBron James, $110 million. Chris Bosh, $110 million. Dwyane Wade, $110 million. Mike Miller, $30 million. Udonis Haslem, $20 million.
So the NBA is going to lose $370 million this year … but the Heat just gave out $380 million in guaranteed contracts.
• Trying to ban an Islam community center because the Sept. 11 terrorists considered themselves Islamic doesn't make sense to me.
Nobody would stop the Republican Party from setting up a campaign office in Oklahoma City because Timothy McVeigh was registered as a Republican in New York. Nobody would stop a church from being built on the same block as a Planned Parenthood building because people who bomb abortion clinics think of themselves as Christians.
If we devalue the rights of people we don't agree with because of what a loosely related fringe did, our rights mean a lot less, and we give in to the fringes.

Both are obscene hits to the head. Would be happy to see the players who do it serve lengthy bans.
The problem is shades of grey and they are open to different views.
Take the uncertainty of challenges away from the eye of the beholder and it will be a good decision.
I still think Sam Burgess challenge on Fui Fui Moi Moi was wrong but it is held up as an example of hard play and pay back.

For a player who led Heartland Community College's baseball team in doubles last season, Andre Sopena is thinking small this summer.
"I'm trying to bunt more and get out of the (batter's) box quicker," said Sopena, a Huntley graduate who is playing with the Crystal Lake Cardinals summer team. "I only had five bunts last season."
Despite the lack of bunts, Sopena and Heartland enjoyed impressive seasons.
The school in Normal placed fourth in last month's NJCAA Division II World Series with Sopena leading the team in doubles (19), runs scored (59) and stolen bases (37). Sopena, who also batted .328 with 38 RBIs, ranked sixth nationally in stolen bases and seventh in doubles.
"He's a speed guy who was everything for us at the top of our order," Heartland coach Nate Metzger said. "He set the table for us all year long."
Batting leadoff, Sopena was the team's regular designated hitter, but spent time at second base and in the outfield.
He made the biggest impact, however, with his feet.
"Speed is very big for me," he said. "I'm only 5-8, but I tell people I'm 5-9 in cleats. If I can make a single into a double, that's great. If I can get on base, I can help my team by stealing second and third. That changes the tone of a game."
Playing the past two seasons at Heartland helped Sopena improve his knowledge of the game and earn an NCAA Division I opportunity at Oakland (Mich.) University.
"The (Heartland) coaching staff has a lot of experience," Sopena said. "They helped me gain a lot of wisdom. They taught me what to do in certain situations and when to run. I learned to love the game."
Metzger credited Sopena for a positive attitude throughout his career.
"We'll be able to replace Andre the player, but replacing Andre the person is going to be a lot harder," he said. "As good of a player as he was, he was a better character and leadership guy."
Sopena said he appreciated his relationships and honesty with teammates.
"That's the most important thing to me as a player, to be a good teammate," he said. "I told my guys that if we have a conflict, we need to settle it right now. And if I get on you for something, it's not because I hate you. It's because I'm trying to make you better, and I want you to do the same for me."
Sopena hopes to compete for the second base job at Oakland this fall when he arrives on campus.
"Second base is my passion, but if I'm in the lineup somewhere, that's OK," he said.
Hammer star: Prairie Ridge grad Lina Baker earned NCAA Division III All-America honors last month by placing seventh in the hammer throw at the outdoor track and field nationals in LaCrosse, Wis.
Baker, a sophomore at Naperville's North Central College, bested her own school record with a throw of 173 feet to become the Cardinals' first All-American in the event.
Appearing at her first national meet, Baker was seeded 21st in a field of 22 competitors at nationals. This season, she improved her personal-best throw by almost 40 feet.
Golf accolades: Illinois Wesleyan senior Stefan Johnson (Marian Central) was named this week to the NCAA Division III PING All-America second team by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
Johnson ranked second on the team with a 74.8 stroke average and finished second as an individual at the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin meet, helping IWU to the team title. He posted five top-10 finishes this season, including the individual title at the Jekyll Island Collegiate Invitational in March, where he posted a 1-over-par total of 217 (72-74-71) in the three-round event.
Carthage College senior Donnie Langland (Jacobs) was chosen to the All-Central Region team.
This season, Langland qualified as an individual for the D-III Men's Golf Championship in Destin, Fla., where he posted rounds of 85 and 88. He tied for 16th at the CCIW meet.
Langland led Carthage this season with a 73.8 stroke average and 12 top-10 finishes in 14 events. He was the individual champion at four events, including the Marian (Wis.) Invitational and the Elmhurst Bluejay Classic in April.
Augustana honor: Richmond-Burton grad Josh Eisenberg has been named one of four captains for the D-III Augustana College men's track and field team for 2014.
Eisenberg, who will be a senior next season, posted a season-best score of 5,915 points in the Augustana Meet of Champions on April 20.
Eisenberg's season-best total ranked second on his team. He placed fourth in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin outdoor meet this spring.
On June 1, Eisenberg was named to the Capital One Men's Track and Field/Cross Country Academic All-District Seven Team. Eisenberg, a double major in biology and pre-medicine, has a 3.97 GPA.

The multi-flora roses are in bloom. Their sweet, spicy fragrance meets you along the old paths. These great bushes of white roses, entwined with grape, humming with bees, are long ago escaped and gone wild. They encroach the roadsides and are taking over the old pastures.
My cousins and I played baseball in these now overgrown fields. The grass was cropped then by the Herefords my uncle pastured there. Buttercup and bull thistle—whatever a cow wouldn't eat—grew tall.
The baseball pasture was also the realm of "Old Jake"—an enormous Hereford steer. We were told to keep away from him. It was never a comfortable game, since there was always the possibility of Jake's imminent arrival to what was undeniably his turf.
In those days my cousins called me "the disadvantage." I was the only girl, and a handicap due to my lack of skills, the fact that I didn't have a glove, and my sheer disinterest in baseball.
It's funny now. "Who gets the disadvantage," they said when choosing sides. That was me—a hanger-on with tangled hair and a blue sweatshirt with the words "I Warm up to People." The oversize sweatshirt was given to me by my sister who worked then for People magazine in NYC. A freebie from the company that she wouldn't be caught dead in.
It might seem a clichéd story—to be the last person always picked in gym class or the one always alone at the lunch table—except for the personal details. The details are always uniquely our own, but sharing them make our stories all that more universal.
When we weren't playing baseball this time of year, we were helping in the hayfields, or using a black light to collect moths. My cousins and I also had a "story club." It met every Thursday and we read what we had written, then awarded prizes of blue, red and white ribbons—just like the Danish system from the Delaware County Fair. I laugh to admit that we had pen names and wrote stories such as "Old Jake's Remorse," featuring a ghostly version of the appalling creature himself. We were a silly group—but it made me feel alive to write those stories. Writing is by nature unsettling but for me it was also instinctive. Live wired. Still, it has taken me this long to admit, even to myself, that I am a writer without feeling completely unworthy of the calling.
This week my son turned 13. It is hard to let go of the little boy he was. When I think about the silent, anxious teenager I was, it may seem strange, but I need often to remind myself that my children are not me. They are comfortable at school. And yes, they like gym. They have their own experiences. Their own paths to follow. They will find their own rocky pastures and rose bushes.

|Title: Grazing Permit Administration (FSH 2209.13, Chapters 10 and 20)
|Abstract: Updated national direction is needed to ensure the Agency is both current and consistent in working with grazing permittees in all Forest Service Regions. The Forest Service issued amendments to certain chapters and sections of Forest Service Manual (FSM) title 2200, Rangeland Management, and to all chapters of Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 2209.13, Grazing Permit Administration. The last substantive amendments to both FSM 2200 and FSH 2209.13 were made in 1985. Clarifications and adjustments in policy are necessary to respond to changing needs of both the Forest Service and the livestock industry and to make the Agency's policy current with legislation, court decisions, and agency management. The Forest Service has determined that two chapters in FSH 2209.13 require public notice and comment: Chapter 10, Permits With Term Status, and chapter 20, Grazing Agreements. Both chapters contain substantive changes to agency operating procedures that affect how the Forest Service does business with permittees, grazing associations, and applicants for livestock grazing authorizations.

Waukesha school watching its 'waste' line
STEM Academy families will try to reduce trash
The garbage people throw away doesn't just magically disappear once the trash collector picks it up once a week. Landfills fill up and a lack of recycling has negative environmental consequences.
The Waukesha County Recycling Office is looking to once again help people understand this by implementing the Reduce Your Waste Stream Challenge, and this time there is a new twist to the challenge - a Waukesha school is getting into the act.
"We did this last year with families, but we wanted to take a different slant," Waukesha County Solid Waste Supervisor Karen Fiedler said.
The challenge in 2010 was labeled as the "Waukesha County Neighborhood Challenge," but now families from Waukesha's STEM Academy, which is broken into an elementary and middle school, are participating.
"It was a very well-run challenge last year and families that participated had positive results," said Ryan Krohn, principal of STEM's Saratoga campus. "Helping build awareness within schools and helping build new habits are what we're all about."
Learning the challenge
The purpose of the challenge, which is in collaboration with the Associated Recyclers of Wisconsin, is for a family to reduce the weight of its trash and increase its recycling weight over a monthlong period.
Starting with a baseline week - a typical amount of trash generated by the household before making extra efforts to reduce - each household measures, in pounds, how much garbage they create.
Following that, a Recycling and Waste Education Day will take place on Sept. 24 with three free recycling and waste reduction workshops at the Waukesha County Materials Recycling Facility. Sessions are at 8:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Each 45-60 minute session will teach participating families ways to reduce waste and increase recycling. They will also get a tour of the facility. Registration is required.
After that, it's game on. This year's reduction phase takes place from Sept. 26 to Oct. 17. The final week to weigh the material will then take place during the week of Oct. 17 to 21. If 25 percent of the families who participate complete the challenge, the school is eligible for a grant that Fiedler said would be worth $1,000.
Impressive figures
Thirty-three families participated in the challenge last year and Fiedler said the results were positive, with only a couple families not able to finish the challenge. The families reduced their trash by 49 percent, an average of 12.6 pounds, and increased recycling by 66 percent, an average of 10 pounds per week.
Fiedler said if 25 percent of county residents reduced their garbage use and increased recycling by this amount, the county would divert 7,200 tons of garbage a year from landfills and increase recycling by 5,700 tons. Landfill disposal fees would also drop by almost $300,000.
This comes at a time when state landfills fees are increasing. In 2009, they jumped by 120 percent to $13 per ton. But Fiedler said if residents would reduce their trash amount and increase their recycling by 10 percent, total landfill costs would be reduced by more than $320,000 and the value of recyclables would increase by more than $210,000, saving more than $500,000 per year.
There were families, Fiedler noted, who went above and beyond the call. Take the Baas family of Brookfield who won the challenge by reducing their trash from their baseline week of 20.8 pounds to 2.1 pounds during the challenge, an almost 90 percent reduction.
Making a conscious effort
Fiedler set up a blog at www.reduceyourwastestream.org where participants could post their results and hopes students and families at STEM are just as active as people from last year. Last year in the blog, some people were surprised by how well they were doing and offered up how their habits were changing.
They were simple changes. Some were using recyclable or reusable containers. Others were reducing their amount of disposable tableware. But most were starting to compost certain food items with their newly purchased home composting bins.
Some even got creative with it, like the Rajnicek family of Waukesha.
"Jayden, our daughter, has been busy sewing bags made from juice bags. Her brothers are busy collecting them from their friends at school in the lunch room for her. Next she is going to make a lunchable cover bag," the Rajnicek family wrote.
And while the challenge being around Halloween last year could have presented problems for some, the Baas family found a way to avoid it.
"Pumpkins [are] not great for recycling, but wonderful for the compost," the Bass family said. "We skipped the messy newspaper this year by carving on the driveway. The mess went into the compost, we roasted the seeds and the rest was cleaned by the rain."
Fiedler was impressed with this effort.
"We thought if people reduced their trash by 10 percent and increase their recycling by 10 or 20 percent that would be good," Fiedler said. "We never thought it would be by that much. That's huge. We didn't anticipate that at all. Once we saw that it wasn't that difficult, we decided to push this out to schools."
'Real-life teachings'
The recycling challenge fits quite nicely into Waukesha STEM Academy's mission of applying science, technology, engineering and mathematics to everyday principles.
"We're always looking for a challenge and problems to address and it worked out really nicely," Krohn said. "It applies a hands-on experience that the students can use science and math with their measurements and during the weighing process.
"This challenge has real-life teachings and we can apply the principles."
With Saratoga, the middle school, and the Randall Campus, STEM's elementary school participating, Krohn offered up a challenge to new Principal Chris Kluck and his staff.
"We're looking to have a friendly competition," Krohn said. "We'll be having our own classroom challengesKate Krzysik, the student resource teacher at Randall, said she looks forward to the challenge and is taking the challenge beyond the homes.
"Even though it is focused on the home environment, as a school, we're taking on the challenge," Krzysik said. "We definitely wanted to be a part of this."
And it's still not too late to sign up. Fiedler encourages any school administrators, parent-teacher organizations or teachers wanting to join Waukesha STEM Academy in the challenge to sign up online.
While there was an incentive - a 46-inch LCD television last year among other prizes - Fiedler said the competition went beyond that.
"The families who participated said their habits would never be the same," Fiedler said. "And it raised their awareness. We saw that as a positive and saw what it can do."
After all, these changes shouldn't be just for a month, she said. They should become a way of life.
"It's difficult to get people's attention to this issue," Fiedler said. "This is an opportunity to re-educate people. We would like to get hundreds of families to see what changes they can make, because it's more of an ongoing effort."

I've been pumping since day 1, and have never gotten more than 1 ounce an hour. LO is taking 3 1/2 - 4 oz every 3 hours. I have been taking More Milk Two, eating lots of oatmeal and the "boobie boosting cookies" as i like to call them. Is it more of the same or do i need to do more?

Posttranslational modifications (PTM) of histones, such as methylation, acetylation, and phosphorylation play a significant role in controlling gene expression and DNA repair. PTMs of histones have been correlated with a variety of human disease states including rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders. PTMs themselves are not sufficient to effect transcriptional activity, indicating the need for effectors proteins that bind modified residues and regulate nuclear function. These chromatin-associated proteins are gaining attention as potential therapeutic targets for epigenetic related diseases. Biotinylated histone peptides have been used to study effectors proteins translating PTMs into functional changes. The SensoLyte® Histone H3 (1-21) Sampler Kit provides 8 biotinylated H3 (1-21) derived histone peptides containing various PTM residues and control non-modified H3 (1-21) biotinylated peptide. These peptides can be utilized to design AlphaScreen® based methyltransferase/demethylase assays and for in vitro pull-down assays. All the components in this kit are also available as separate products and in bulk quantities.

Hi, my DS is 9 months yesterday and he weaning himself I am fearing!!
I was nursing him every 3 hours along with solids 3x a day plus 2 snacks. Now he is barely nursing...I've tried nursing him when he wakes but he isn't really interested. He may nurse for a minute or two and then pop off, clap and smile and roll away.
What should I do??
Do I need to get ht pumped milk and give it to him in a cup? Will he need the breastmilk anymore or are solids enough?
I am so upset by this, I planned to wean him at 1 to 3x a day, but not this early.
Please help...

text: $230 (after discount) if you wanna get all new features. IMO it's not worth it. Next month I'll be getting me a Slingbox so I can get the access to my NY mate's TV package. $160 and I'll get the Knicks, the Giants and all my favorite shows. Not to mention that the box will be keeping it up for at least 4-5 years. So, **** you NBA.

As the election draws near, there is friction in the air and also a slumber that seems to be amongst many Americans. The U.S. is being destroyed right before our very eyes. Dictatorship and treason have been seeping in our highest levels of government and nobody seems to care.
Our country hangs by a thread of hope at the most important election in our history. This is not an election between Democrats and Republicans, because politicians are not the answer, only a tool to help keep what it has stood for from the beginning, which is a reverence for God and His ways. Unless it turns back to being "God- centered," I am sad to say that judgment will come to this nation!
A country that has turned so far from God as to legalize sin over and over again, how could there not be consequences?
We demand, "God bless America," when we should be saying, "bless God, America" for His mercy.
The decisions that have been made by this administration are tragic. To take from the wealthy and redistribute it to the poor will be devastating to our economy. What incentive will there be to work and prosper? The American dream will be no more!
When you go to vote in November, PLEASE remember what this country was founded on and how blessed we have been, so we won't become AN OBAMA-NATION!
