Wisconsin Traffic Safety Reporter: Safety Measures
High-profile texting related crashes and a graphic PSA from
the United Kingdom have helped bring the dangers of texting while driving into
the public spotlight.
This fall, USDOT hosted a two-day Distracted Driving Summit. Transportation secretary Ray LaHood, calling distracted driving a "menace to society," noted that in 2008 nearly 6,000 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted or inattentive drivers, and more than half a million were injured. The fatalities were 16% of all those killed in crashes that year. He said the administration will offer a series of recommendations to encourage congress, state governments and public to help reduce the hazard. President Obama has signed an executive order prohibiting federal employees from texting while driving. Separately, the federal government plans to ban texting by bus drivers and truckers who travel across state lines, and may also preclude them from using cellphones while driving, except in emergencies.
State legislatures have responded to the growing concern over cell phone use and texting while driving by passing a variety of new laws, including banning handheld cell phone use or texting by all drivers, or restricting cell phone use for a specific demographic, such as teens or school bus drivers. Surveys show that 80-90% of Americans support texting bans.
In each of the past several sessions, the Wisconsin Legislature has considered various bills designed to reduce the risk due to driver distraction while using cell phones and other electronic devices. These initiatives have seldom advanced very far. In the current session, once again, several bills are under consideration.
Research by the AAA Auto Club of Southern California published in September, shows that the texting while driving ban implemented in California appears to be helping. Before the ban, researchers observed 1.4% of drivers in Orange County were texting while driving: after the law took effect, this dropped to just 0.4%, a decline of about 70%
In Washington, D.C. at the end of July, several US senators unveiled new legislation that would ban anyone from texting on a cell phone or other personal electronic device while driving. The ALERT Drivers Act would require states to bar the sending of text or email messages while driving a car or truck, or else risk losing federal highway funds. In October, a different bill was introduced by Senator Jay Rockefeller to encourage states to enact laws restricting text messaging and cell phone use by drivers. Compliant states would qualify for additional federal funds and would maintain eligibility for federal traffic records improvement funds.
The Governors Highway Safety Association is the national organization that represents state highway safety agenceis. GHSA membership has enacted a new policy encouraging every state to ban texting behind the wheel. GHSA chairman Vernon F Betkey Jr. Who heads the Maryland Highway Safety Office, notes that the Virginia Tech study influence their membership's action. GHSA has concerns about enforcement and will support NHTSA's enforcement demonstration project in showcasing how states can effectively enforce a cell phone ban.
Highway safety laws are only effective if they can be enforced and if the public believes they will be ticketed for not complying, says Betkey. To date that has not been the case with many cell phone restrictions.
To combat the increasing problem of distracted driving, GHSA recommendations include:
Parents should:
Use GDL bans as another way to encourage their teens to drive safely & set a good example by not using a cell phone while driving.
Text messaging is growing at a phenomenal rate, especially with young people. GHSA's message to all drivers is clear: DON'T USE CELL PHONES OR OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES WHILE DRIVING, regardless of the current law. USDOT Secretary LaHood observes that "Every single time someone takes their eyes or their focus off the road, even for a few seconds- they put their lives and the lives of others in danger. Distracted driving is unsafe, irresponsible and, in a split second, its consequences can be devastating. " He suggests, we need a combination of strong laws, tough enforcement and ongoing public education to make a difference.

Several lead characters in TV2's primetime hit Go Girls are being written out of the upcoming fifth season.
Original cast members Jay Ryan, Anna Hutchison, Alix Bushnell and Bronwyn Turei are understood to have been written out or downgraded to smaller roles.
Shara Connolly, who has had a minor role as Candy in previous series, will now take a leading role in the popular TV2 show, which charts the lives of a group of friends based on Auckland's North Shore.
None of the character changes were hinted at in the season four cliffhanger finale which screened in May, suggesting the show's writers had not planned on making wholesale changes.
The changes may have been partly forced on co-creators and writers Gavin Strawhan and Rachel Lang by the success of the core cast members. Ryan has landed his biggest role, playing Vincent in a US television remake of Beauty and the Beast, while Hutchison's star continues to rise through work on movies such as Cabin in the Woods.
TVNZ and South Pacific Pictures refused to comment on character changes.
TV2 publicist Lucy Ewen said: "At this stage, all we can say is that another exciting series of Go Girls will return next year and like every year, there'll be new quests and many surprises in store. Further information on series five will be revealed around TVNZ's new season launch activity next month."
NZ On Air spokeswoman Gina Rogers said, however, they were informed of cast changes before the decision was made to grant $6.67 million in taxpayer funding in June. "We were aware of character changes as the story was evolving," she said. "We had a script outline."
Connolly was out of the country this week and could not be contacted.
Alix Bushnell, who plays Britta, said: "Unfortunately I am contractually bound and I am not at liberty to disclose production and story details."

@einsteinLocale: Big Apple
The point has been well made and is now taken for granted that all our electronic devices should share a common battery size, with AAs being the most referenced. The argument is typically "I can take the batteries from my GPS and use them in my headlamp," or "My spares can be used in either device," or "AA batteries are available everywhere."
How often does having a common battery type actually get played out with these arguments? Has anyone ever taken the batteries from their headlamp and placed them in their GPS? Or conversely, do members here fly in the face of the common battery wisdom, and use a mix of two our more cell sizes (like me)?
For all except the thru-hikers, I suspect the need for a common battery type is a myth, and like the "need" for heavy packs and 12" waffle-stompers, reality is far from need. I believe it's a myth because:
–We're usually knowledgeable enough about the use of our devices so we know what our battery needs will be, and pack accordingly. Often a set of batteries will last far longer than a typical 2-5 day adventure, and we know which device needs spares and which don't.
–Some electronic devices can be satisfied with lightweight backups or modified behaviors when batteries die: map and compass, asleep before darkness, Photon on necklace, etc.
–Devices that use AA batteries are typically bigger and heavier: a Steripen using CR123A vs. one that uses AAs, headlamps, flashlights, GPS, etc. By seeking lighter items (AA vs. CR123A vs. AAA), we wind up with asymmetrical battery types anyway. I know half of us will race out and buy the first AAA-powered Steripen if it's ever produced.
There's also financial motivation: money spent leveling the battery-type field could be put to better use, as many electronic devices are $50+, and that could be used for a lighter quilt, or tarp, etc. We happily drag our AA GPS, AAA headlamp, and CR123A Steripen into the woods, since we'd rather use that money elsewhere in our kit.
I have an 1X AA headlamp, a 2X AA GPS*, a 2X CR123A Steripen, and a 1X AAA flashlight (for trail markers). Three different battery types! Each does it's job very well, or is fairly new, or would cost a lot to upgrade. Each device has been tested in my "lab" and in the field for battery life, so I have a pretty good idea how long I can go before replacement. For 2 night trips, I don't carry any spares, but it's comfortable knowing that I can last 5 days if necessary.
So how many different battery types are you toting around?
*Lately, I've been using my phone in a waterproof case. Cell phone batteries are a lot cheaper than a new GPS, and I have to carry my phone anyway. But I guess the phone batteries are just another battery type to carry!Jan 30, 2013 at 4:52 pm #1949029

I like things that use AA not so much because I want everything to use the same type but because I've got a boatload of rechargeable AAs. At home I use them in remotes, flashes, toothbrushes, game controllers, etc so I know I've got plenty. I don't have anything that runs on 123's and only a couple of AAA rechargeables. So for me its more about simplicity at home rather than in the field. I only have to worry about stocking one or two types of battery rather than three or four.
When I hike I carry a 1x AA headlamp, a Photon light, and sometimes a 2x AA GPS. Plus that damn D300 but its battery will last well over 600 shots so one is normally enough. I do have a battery grip that will power the camera with 6x AA batteries though :D

Batteries are different for a purpose. AA size offers high milliampere hours. AAA offers less, but the package is much smaller and lighter. Lithium primary cells offer great shelf life, high milliampere hours, high peak current, and great cold temperature operation, but the cost is high. Rechargeables are great, since you can recharge them, but in many cases they won't provide the voltage and amperage quite so consistently as alkaline or lithium.
As long as the device designer chose the correct battery type for the purpose, that is good by me. I generally do not carry any spares, but I test the state of each battery before I leave home.

There is some good news here.
Because of power requirements and available size (inside the device) I am pretty confident that we will never see a common battery size , however there is a solution.
That is a :common way to charge them and that appears to be the USB standard.
We see more gadgets that can charge directly from USB so all you need is one USB "bank" (battery with USB in and out) and a plug adaptor for each device and you are in business.Jan 30, 2013 at 5:27 pm #1949047

I have a GPS with 2 AA batteries. They last for about 24 hours which is enough for any trip, yet I always carry a spare set but never need them. Except, after a year or two, the lifetime of the batteries shortens so maybe I'll use the spares. Especially if it's cold. I never go more than about 50 miles in 5 nights which I do in less than 24 hours of hiking.
I now have a radio with 2 AA batteries. They're good for 100 hours. That's good for 5 night trip, because I don't always have it on. Might need the spares, but it's not critical, if the batteries ran out I'de just quit listening.
Hmmm… I think maybe one spare set of 2 AA would actually work.
I have a 3 AAA LED headlamp, but they last for about a year, and towards the end they gradually get weaker so I can tell during a trip that it's time to replace, no need for spares. Plus I have a Photon button LED light as a spare.
I use the new Eneloop AA 2400 mAH

@davidinkenaiLocale: North Woods. Far North.
I've definitely moved batteries from one device to another. Not so much while backpacking, but caving can involve multiple lights, cameras, flashes, GPS, and sometimes instruments (water quality, CO2/O2).
I have a strong preference for AAs. Somewhat for the exchangeability. But also, I can buy a 40-battery brick at Costco for pretty cheap. And lithium AAs are about the same cost as lithium AAAs, so the cost per joule is a lot less.Jan 31, 2013 at 11:46 pm #1949582

Even at home, I try to limit the different types of batteries — and use either AA or AAA rechargeable batteries as much as possible. I like the idea of recharging more than throwing away. But in the field, I will use headlights powered by coin-cell type batteries just because they are so much lighter and more compact.Feb 1, 2013 at 5:15 am #1949596

Having common batteries may not be a necessity, but I've found it useful. For example, my camera uses AA as does my GPS. I've found that I can run my GPS for a considerable time on batteries that are already too weak for my camera. I've also got a AA charger for my solar charger so I can charge up spare batteries and have them ready for either device.
The usefulness of having a common battery type may be a myth to one person and not for another.Feb 2, 2013 at 8:41 am #1950008

@jenmitolLocale: In my dreams....
I also have swapped batteries between devices…common ones being GPS and headlamp. And I've done it both ways…my problem is that on my quick 1-2 day weekend trips I frequently forget to check if I have any spares in my ditty bag…and I really only use the GPS on those trips for recording purposes (short trips, don't carry much consumable stuff, have room/weight for the little device…it can be fun to play with if I'm so inclined). So…when that headlamp is too dim (oh crap! I forgot to add the new AAs in there again) I just rob from the GPS because honestly, I don't really need it…
I'm much better when planning for bigger, "real" trips. These quick weekend getaways I kind of just grab my pack and go. Not too much thought sometimes. Of course, I've forgotten more than batteries before…stove fuel? So needs stove fuel??Feb 2, 2013 at 9:56 am #1950035

"For all except the thru-hikers, I suspect the need for a common battery type is a myth"
Even there, I think. The problem is that when you're selecting gear, you're trying to optimize for several different criteria at once, and it can be difficult to decide what to prioritize among factors such as cost, durability, functionality, weight, even size. The more factors you add into the mix, the more likely that you have to give ground on some of them. I see "uses a particular battery type" as yet another factor to try to optimize if you're carrying multiple battery-operated devices.
Some choices to limit such devices helps — smart-phone as a multi-purpose device, for example, but there you're already blown out of the "one battery to rule them all" approach. Chemicals rather than a steripen. That sort of thing.
I do think that the smartphone as multi-function device is what put the nail in this one for me — that plus comparing the weight of a Petzl e+lite to other headlamp options. I have had a couple of situations where carrying a spare set of lithium AA's made sense in the context of being useful for a couple of different devices I was carrying, but it's been rare.Feb 2, 2013 at 11:57 am #1950081

@dwambaughLocale: Pacific Northwest
I like to have my important devices on the same batteries for convenience, CYA and weight savings in about that order. My GPS uses two AA's and my headlamp and flashlight us one each. My radio uses one AAA, but if that dies it is just an annoyance, but not a show-stopper; lighting is my main concern. So one or two spare AA's will take care of any critical needs. For an overnight or 3-day and fresh batteries all around I could go without spares, knowing that I have the cross-compatibility.
I would class this concern as a refinement and a move to simplifying my kit– less to haul, keep track of and maintain. Once you get the major items tweaked to your weight and performance needs, there are all the little bits to work on. I'm thinking of things like decanting all your hygiene items to small containers, minimizing stuff sacks, safety essentials, tools, etc. Batteries are one of those little tweaks. None are really significant on their own, but they can add up and you can shave a pound pretty quick.Feb 2, 2013 at 3:06 pm #1950127
Paul McLaughlinBPL Member
Since my headlamp that I like uses AAA's, I searched for an MP3 player for audio books that takes AAA's. Ipods are no good for me because the battery does not last long enough for a week-long ski trip.Feb 2, 2013 at 6:07 pm #1950182

Yes, battery commonality is "nice".
OTOH, like Simon, the OP, I use 2 AA for my Garmin Colorado GPS, 4 coin batteries for my tiny Princeton Tec Scout headlamp and 2 CR-123 batteries for my Steripen Adventurer. So battery commonality is out the window for me too.
…and then the same number of spares – all lithium, of course. Wouldnt' want to carry too much weight with those heavy alkalines, ya know.
That would be SO 20th century. :O)

I own an early Taurus PT111 and its trigger is so bad that it will not group at 5 yards. To top it off, Taurus knows the pistol has a rotten trigger but will do nothing about it. This pistol is a great idea that was poorly executed. Yes, my experience soured me against Taurus products in general.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Not sure if this is really a salad but sure looks good to me. If I make it do I have to share?
If you don't work on it you'll never finish it.
Of course you have to share! Snickers used to be one of my all time favorite candy bars.
My niece makes this when we have family potluck sounds like the same recipe she usually uses delicious apples in hers and instant vanilla pudding but no cream cheesee there is never any left overs .
Ohhhhhhh, I had this at a sewing day in our quilt guild one time. It is fabulous!!!! Snickers are my favorite candy bar too.
Karen in Kentucky
I've had this before and it was YUMMY. I would consider it more a dessert, just like the grape salad I've had I would consider a dessert.
This is delicious ! I went to a party and the hostess was making 3 different salads like this one. One had Butterfinger candy bars, one had snickers and I forget the other. All were fantastic and she promised to give me the recipes but each time I've asked, you would think I was asking for money. I know that one of them had green grapes in it, but forgot which. Thanks for giving us the recipe.
OH MY!!!!! I am in trouble now. This looks so sinfully good. There goes that diet again. Dang this board!!!!!!
Love the OLD, UGLY, & WELL LOVED
My daughter brought this to a potluck recently. Sinfully delicious!!!

What to do what to do oh man what to do.
Nothing. I mean maybe if the DT's can get healthy they can get some pressure. When will that be? All the De's are healthy.
yea i dont understand what going on with these guys!
maybe they will improve with each week.
It's quite simple, they are not beating there guys one on one.
Giants fan since the early 80s
To be fair the Browns offensive line is really good.
JPP is either getting doubled or chipped, Tuck gets gassed easily, and Osi likes to take the scenic route to the QB. Maybe if the DTs start getting more push up the middle, it will benefit our DEs. At least the D-linemen are still getting their hands up--several batted passes again today.
I will give opposing offensive coordinators some credit though. They are calling some plays that negate our rush.
Bench osi. Move Tuck outside and put Austin or Kuhn in the middle. Tuck is taking too much of a beating inside and osi is worthless outside.
that's right. I saw last sunday night how Osi is slow as a slug on a salt lick. we need to refresh the D-line. JPP is a keeper. for me, the jury is out on tuck. Osi, gone. waste the salary cap on fresh legs.

The room was very nice and comfortable and the position is very nice for visit barcelona near the station metro 10 meters estacio sants and the women renter was very nice in service thank you very much see you anthor time in barcelona
I have been staying at this appartment with my girlfriend last week and we had a really nice and comfortable stay.
First of all the house is located at Placa de Sants, only 3 metro stops away from La Rambla (the main street of Barcelona).
The room is clean and big. The only downside was that the jacuzzi isn't working, but that was mentioned beforehand, so no surprise! Furthermore the bath is still perfect for use, only the bubbling system is down so for me it was actually not even a problem.
The owners Zai and his wife were really kind to us during our whole stay. They absolutely want you to enjoy your stay there and in Barcelona overall and when you come in they will always ask you if there is anything they can do for you.
Overall we had a good time at Valladolid 5 and I would definitely recommend the appartment to others.
Great place to stay, all were very kind and ready to help at anytime. Everything was clean and in its place. I really loved the rest time beginning at 11 pm!!!.
Definitely was a good choice.
My opinion is the same than others.
I reserved the 'pink' room and they gave us the green one.
Pros :
-Very good jaccuzzi
-Large room
-5 metro stations from the center of Barcelone
-Clean room
-English spoken
Cons :
-Noisy neighborhood, and noisy bed
-Towels are 1€ extra charge
-No toilet paper
-No place to put stuff on
Globally, the room was really nice. 5 min from metro station, and 15 to the center.
We stayed here for a week and had a great time.
The room looked luxurious with marble tiles on the floor, a toilet and bidet and a working jacuzzi!
Every room had one shelf in a spacey fridge and use of the kitchen with washing machine. A dryer we found at the laundromat at walking distance. The neighborhood was residential rather than touristic so restaurant and supermarket prices were affordable. Metro, bus stop and train station were all within walking distance. Toilet paper was provided the first time but was available in the many small and bigger supermarkets in the vicinity. Large towels were provided for 1 Euro each and well worth the investment. Some words of advise: the room was rather dark en opposite the kitchen which meant that sometimes the smell of food would drift in and there was no sleeping in because people would have breakfast in front of the only window in the room. We were there early March and there was no heating system so we asked for an extra blanket which was provided at no extra cost. There was also no TV which was nice because the rooms were not sound prove so peace and quiet all around. Unless you're a sound sleeper don't expect to be able to sleep late because the sound of other guests in the hallway and kitchen will wake you up. All things considered we received good value for money.
When I arrived I was told that there was a mix up with the rooms and the room I had paid for was not available. I was given a refund of 20 euro for the inconvenience and offered another room.
Stanza: sporchissima, invivibile, lenzuola macchiate, "jacuzzi" incrostata di sporco, lavandino probabilmente mai pulito, parenti sporche con le manate, tenda lurida. Abbiamo dormito con il giubbino per evitare il contatto con le coperte. I plaid utilizzati come coperte schifosi.
Cucina: non è assolutamente agibile, sporca, con le spugnette nere dalla sporcizia.
Portone: non c'è un campanello, ma una porta gialla con un'insegna dismessa. Si fa fatica a capire che è un'abitazione.
Ingresso: si faticava a respirare, le scale con moquette imbrattata di polvere e macchie non ben identificate dalle quali proveniva un fetore nasueabondo.
Proprietario: biancheria non disponibile, così come per la carta igienica. Ci ha costrette a buttare l'immondizia quando abbiamo lasciato l' "abitazione". È entrato in camera nostra senza che ci chiedesse il permesso.
Resoconto: scappate come abbiamo fatto noi. Alloggio da incubo!
La primera vez todo estaba genial. Pero esta última vez no nos gustó nada la hab parecía un zumo,sin ventanas sin mesilla sin manta un calefactor ruidoso y las almohadas un desastre. En esas condiciones difícil que volvamos ahí.

Ballot confusion in Missoula due to clerical error
MISSOULA, Mont. - A clerical error caused confusion for a handful of Missoula County voters.
Elmer Hintz and his wife live along River Road in Missoula, just off of Reserve Street. However, their home as well as several other homes on River Road are not technically in the city of Missoula. The city limits go right up to the edge of Hintz's property. Because of this, Hintz and his neighbors are not eligible to vote for municipal candidates in next Tuesday's elections. The ballot Hintz received last week said differently.
It was a full municipal ballot, with mayoral, judicial, and city commissioner candidates dotting the page. Hintz called his neighbor across the street and found the same situation. Hintz called Missoula County Elections after confirming he was still outside the city limits, but the answer was not one he expected.
"She said 'If you've got the ballot, just mail it in,'" he told us.
Wednesday, Missoula County Clerk and Recorder/Treasurer Vickie Zeier says the issue has been resolved. She condemned the response Hintz received on the phone. A clerical error had accidentally put Hintz and his neighbor inside the city limits.
Redistricting of municipal precincts this year meant updating the databases and opening the door for errors like this one.
Zeier stated that the correct ballots are being mailed. Hintz and his neighbor are in the Missoula Urban Transportation District, and are eligible to vote on the mill levy next Tuesday.

OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations

- 2076-9717 (online)
- 2076-9709 (print)
- 10.1787/20769717
These Transfer Pricing Guidelines focus on the application of the arm's length principle to evaluate the transfer pricing of associated enterprises. The Guidelines are intended to help tax administrations (of both OECD member countries and non-member countries) and MNEs by indicating ways to find mutually satisfactory solutions to transfer pricing cases, thereby minimizing conflict among tax administrations and between tax administrations and MNEs and avoiding costly litigation. The Guidelines analyse the methods for evaluating whether the conditions of commercial and financial relations within an MNE satisfy the arm's length principle and discuss the practical application of those methods. They also include a discussion of global formulary apportionment. These Guidelines are updated from time to time.

The OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations provide guidance on the application of the "arm's length principle", which is the international consensus on transfer pricing, i.e. on the valuation, for tax purposes, of cross-border transactions between associated enterprises. In a global economy where multinational enterprises (MNEs) play a prominent role, transfer pricing is high on the agenda of tax administrators and taxpayers alike. Governments need to ensure that the taxable profits of MNEs are not artificially shifted out of their jurisdictions and that the tax base reported by MNEs in their respective countries reflect the economic activity undertaken therein. For taxpayers, it is essential to limit the risks of economic double taxation that may result from a dispute between two countries on the determination of an arm's length remuneration for their cross-border transactions with associated enterprises.
After having been originally published in 1979, the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines were approved by the OECD Council in their original version in 1995. A limited update was made in 2009, primarily to reflect the adoption, in the 2008 update of the Model Tax Convention, of a new paragraph 5 of Article 25 dealing with arbitration, and of changes to the Commentary on Article 25 on mutual agreement procedures to resolve cross-border tax disputes. In the 2010 edition, Chapters I-III were substantially revised, with new guidance on: the selection of the most appropriate transfer pricing method to the circumstances of the case; the practical application of transactional profit methods (transactional net margin method and profit split method); and on the performance of comparability analyses. Furthermore, a new Chapter IX, on the transfer pricing aspects of business restructurings, was added. Consistency changes were made to the rest of the Guidelines.

Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
A wonderful quilt, love the pattern, beautiful fabric.

Fantasy Baseball Morning Update: Joey Bats, Gone Again
That was quite a trade the Dodgers and Red Sox made on Friday, huh? As far as I can tell, the only real near-term fantasy implications for mixed leaguers are thatDaisuke Matsuzaka will rejoin the Red Sox rotation, and 1B Mauro Gomez (.310, 24 HR at Triple A) becomes James Loney's right-handed-hitting platoon partner in Boston. Also, Josh Beckett makes his first Dodger start tonight at Coors Field, which should be fun.
In real life, the Dodgers had better win the World Series, because the financial hangover from this deal will be pretty big.
Patrick Corbin wasn't so good on Friday, Carlos Quintana struggled on Saturday, and Jhoulys Chacin wasn't quite good enough on Sunday. That rough weekend puts the streaming starter record at 81-53 for the season. Today's pick is Brett Anderson (owned in 13.9 percent of FOXSports.com leagues) against the Indians, and Tuesday's selection is Baltimore's Chris Tillman (9.1 percent owned) versus the White Sox.
On to the news:
- Jose Bautista's return to the Blue Jays' lineup didn't even last two games, as he was placed on the DL after re-aggravating his left wrist injury on Saturday. Bautista's prognosis is TBD, but don't be surprised if he doesn't play again this season. Moises Sierra (19 HR, 8 SB between Triple A and MLB) takes Bautista's spot in right field, and is an interesting AL-only option.
- Red Sox DH David Ortiz is probably headed back to the DL, since his Achilles injury hasn't gotten much better. Ryan Lavarnway and the aforementioned Mr. Gomez should see some at bats at DH.
- Speaking of the Sox, Alfredo Aceves was suspended for three games because he apparently threw a tantrum following Andrew Bailey's save on Friday night. Aceves' suspension will end after today's game, but that doesn't mean he'll close anymore. Bailey is available in almost 75 percent of FOXSports.com leagues, and should be snatched up.
- The Angels are hoping to get 1B Albert Pujols (calf) back in the lineup on Tuesday.
- The Orioles acquired SP Joe Saunders from the Diamondbacks. Saunders' carries a 4.17 career ERA with a 1.37 WHIP, and the AL East doesn't project to be friendly for him. I placed a bid on Saunders in my AL-only league last night, and then withdrew it after asking myself, "Why the $#@! would I want Joe Saunders?"
- Giants manager Bruce Bochy says he'll stick with a three-man closer committee. I'd like to tell you which reliever I like best, but you'll have to read Free Agent Frenzy to find out.
- Gavin Floyd was pulled from Sunday's start with elbow discomfort, and his prognosis is TBD. Floyd isn't expected to start Friday, and the DL is a possibility.
- Dodgers SP Chad Billingsley is on the DL with elbow inflammation, and isn't expected to have another MRI for a week. Stay tuned.
- The Braves' crowded rotation has been sorted out because of an injury to - surprise! - Ben Sheets, who is on the DL with an achy shoulder.
- Padres' pitching prospect Casey Kelly will make his big-league debut tonight. Kelly has missed a lot of time this season with elbow issues, but he's got 39 strikeouts in 37 2/3 innings across three levels of the minors. Check out Kelly in NL-only leagues, because of where he pitches his home games.
- Nationals SS Ian Desmond (hamstring) and OF Mike Morse (hand) missed time over the weekend, but expect to play on Tuesday.
- Oakland's Grant Balfour has seven saves in the last 16 days, and is owned in just 32.1 percent of FOXSports.com leagues. I'm just saying ...
- Mets 2B Daniel Murphy will have an MRI today on his injured shoulder. If Murphy misses any time, the Mets might only score 0.01 runs per game (down from their usual 0.02).
- With Joey Votto set to begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday with an eye on a weekend return, Todd Frazier's owners might want to worry a little. Especially after reading this.
See you back here tomorrow morning.

Parrot Head, Anyone?
Jimmy Buffett and The Coral Reefer Band kicked off their summer tour on April 26th, appropriately in Nashville, Tennessee. Home to several of the band members including two Voyage-Air Guitar endorsers, the show at Bridgestone Arena was sold out and was a crazy maze of coconut bras and parrot hats. Oddly enough, it's mostly men that wear the coconut bras, a frightening site, indeed!
I was always a Jimmy Buffett fan (although I never donned the bra OR the hat!), My daughter thought that I wrote Margaritaville when she was 11 and I began to recite it to her in the hospital waiting room after she tripped on a pop top. I let her believe that for a few years, I must admit.
Jimmy's first encounter with Voyage-Air was at Bonnaroo Music Festival a few years ago. I was actually trying to get this job, and having known Jimmy through mutual friends, I was able to introduce him to the company guys that attended that year. Jimmy was blown away by our guitar. He first strummed it in the open position and was really digging it. Then when I folded it and he saw the back pack he quickly called his entourage of 20 some odd people over to check it out. He now keeps a Voyage-Air Guitar on his yaught on St. Barths.
I was delighted to meet the Mayer Brothers. Peter and Jim have been with Jimmy for over 23 years. The lead guitar player and bassist, respectively, it was Jim that I met first. Although he plays bass on stage with the band, he needed an acoustic for travel, writing and his very popular side project called Uncle Jim Rocks! With 20 nieces and nephews, Jim saw the prevalence of bullying and began this program for anti-bullying. His songs bring much joy to the kids and I have to say, much humor to the parents. My favorite, "Funky as a Diaper", is quite a catchy tune and an award winner. It's embarrassing to say that I found myself unable to get this song out of my head. It's just one of those.
Peter came along a bit later and being an electric player, decided to take on our electric BelAir guitar in TV yellow. Actually, he's our first electric endorser since the electrics came out a few years after the acoustics. Peter also has a side project that tours when he's off the road with Buffett. Taking along several of his Buffett band mates, he does many charitable events throughout the year. Interestingly enough, Peter and Jim play "It's 5 O'clock Somewhere" on stage with Jimmy at every show, which is a song penned by another Voyage-Air Guitar endorser, Jim "Moose" Brown. The boys had never met each other, so it was fun to have them all up in the Penthouse Suite at the Hotel Indigo and watch them perform together for my Tuesday Nights Live! event.
Much fun was had seeing Peter play our guitar on stage with not only Jimmy Buffett but the legendary Mac McAnally. What an honor to have our guitar on stage with such massive talent!
Keep an eye out for Jimmy and the boys at a show near you, here's the tour schedule, http://www.margaritaville.com/tourdates.html.

Vision Team
The Arizona Department of Education's 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) Unit has convened an advisory council, aptly named "The Vision Team". This group actively engages in the development of policies and procedures that support the implementation of the 21st Century Community Learning Center After-School Programs. In addition, this advisory council creates a vision for Arizona regarding the future of 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant funding and its programs. This group of leaders guide the Arizona Department of Education's 21st CCLC Unit by being the voice from the field and communicates grantee needs and requests. One of the greatest contributions of the Vision Team is the planning and coordinating of the 21st CCLC New Grantee Orientation which is held in the fall. Team members usually meet four times a year at regional areas throughout Arizona. Future members are either nominated by department staff or self-nominated to participate.

"I don't think there's ever been any fiscal time bomb set to go off all at once like this," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the nonpartisan Concord Coalition. . . .
The GOP will push to keep the Bush tax cuts largely intact, arguing that allowing them to expire at the same time as the expected payroll tax cut would be devastating.
"Republicans want to continue them," Bixby said. "And actually so do most Democrats, including the president, up to … $250,000 of income." . . .
Democrats argue that the Bush tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans should expire.
"They're saying that letting the tax cuts expire on upper income people would not have negative economic effects … because they can afford the shock better," Bixby explained. . . .
Assuming the lame-duck Congress opts for delay, one path forward could include passage of a bill that binds the next Congress to a certain level of cuts.
"Just kicking the can down the road would be a very bad thing to do," Bixby observed.

Reviews of this property
We had a great week at the Finca. The surroundings are beautiful and the house is built with lots of love and in top order. The owners were always approachable and have nice but unobtrusive care of us. Every time again!
Wir hatten eine großartige Woche in der Finca. Die Umgebung ist wunderschön und das Haus ist mit ganz viel Liebe ausgebaut und top in Ordnung.
Die Vermieter waren immer ansprechbar und haben sich nett, aber unaufdringlich um uns gekümmert. Jederzeit wieder!
This is a beautiful old style Canarian house, restored with love bij the owner. Kitchen is well equipped, living room large and the three bedrooms each whabe their own well stocked bathroom. The garden is lovely and full of birds singing their hearts out. Free fire wood, wine, oranges and lemons made us feel very welcome. And if you want, the owner even provides you with fresh bread every morning: great service!
Reviews for this host's other properties
Beautiful situated after a ruff road. Inconvinient with kitchens location in the house and no heating, very cold!
Not enough heating in the rest of the house. Woods for the fireplace was brought to us the last evening.
Nice poolarea!
Very nice Cotage, terass and garden. Well equipped. Good location. Clean and a lot of space. Also nice to pick fresh oranges for the breakfast juice in the garden.
Sleeping rooms uppstairs and the stairs are a little bit tricky ! One week was not enough.
+ It worked fine on the description and photographs. There is a beautiful garden with fruit trees and flowering plants for the home, which also contains a walled patio with barbecue. Evening which lit by a street lamp, so that we in the dark delicately may have a barbecue.
+ The terrace is spacious and offers a beautiful view of the surroundings.
+ The house itself is very cozy and tastefully decorated and well equipped with everything necessary. So plenty of towels were provided and also extra blankets for cooler nights.
+ Also in the kitchen had all the necessary presence and it worked well. Even there were two heaters, which is not always obvious in Spanish homes.
+ When we had a problem, the owner came to fix it immediately.
- The boiler for hot water is a bit on the small side for 4 adults and a new or luxurious shower head would make showering more comfortable.
+ Dit huis voldeed prima aan de beschrijving en de foto's. Er ligt een mooie tuin met fruitbomen en bloeiende planten voor het huis, met daarin ook nog een ommuurde patio met barbecue. 's Avonds is die verlicht door een straatlantaarn, zodat we ook in het donker fijn een barbecue hebben kunnen houden.
+ Het terras is ruim en biedt een prachtig uitzicht op de omgeving.
+ Het huis zelf is erg gezellig en sfeervol ingericht en goed voorzien van al het nodige. Zo waren er ruim voldoende handdoeken aanwezig en ook extra dekens voor de wat koudere nachten.
+ Ook in de keuken was al het nodige aanwezig en het werkte ook. Zelfs waren er 2 kachels, wat in Spaanse huizen niet altijd vanzelfsprekend is.
+ Toen we een probleempje hadden, kwam de eigenaar dit meteen oplossen.
- De boiler voor heet water is wat aan de kleine kant voor 4 volwassenen en een nieuwe of luxere douchekop zou het douchen prettiger maken.
Everything was okay, except for adress. In advertisment and in message from owners there are two diffirent adresses, and we couldn't find the house at first.
The owner (Antonio) was very pleasant and brought for us some fresh oranges and lemons :)
A sweet little house up in the hills on the island. The owners were lovely - they gave us wood for the fire which was fabulous on winter evenings. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely holiday.
Our family spent one week during christmas at this beautiful place. We arrived late at night. The housekeeper met us at a nearby restaurant and showed us the way to the house and the facilities. The temperature in the saltwater pool was quite low but fortunately we had nice weather during the whole week and it was no mayor problem. The pool is shared by two houses, we were lucky to have it for ourselves since the other house was not occupied during our stay. There are generous facilities in the pool area including fridge, dishwasher, barbecue. The standard in the house is above average, it is well equipped with laundry, TV and so on, comfortable beds and very clean. The house i situated at the end of a road, surrounded by palm trees and cactus, very calm (despite the sound of the barking dogs in the village), far away from the mainstream tourist villages. The nearest supermarket is at Agaete, a 20-25 min ride on a VERY curvy road.
We have just spent a wonderful week in Gran Canaria. Everything was as described and only a short warm contact the owner. Easy as it gets. Those seeking peace and love nature, this is the place. Everything is in place, convenient facilities and a private pool is awesome. I want to keep anything, so a few frogs must not interfere in an adjacent pond and the road to the house is steep and partly not fixed, but the paths are often like that. All in all we were very pleased.
Wir haben gerade eine wundervolle Woche auf Gran Canaria verbracht. Alles war, wie beschrieben und nur ein kurzer herzlicher Kontakt mit dem Vermieter. Problemloser gehts nicht. Wer Ruhe sucht und die Natur liebt, ist hier genau richtig. Alles ist vorhanden, zweckmäßig eingerichtet und ein eigener Pool ist genial. Ich möchte nichts verschweigen, daher dürfen ein paar Frösche in einem benachbarten Weiher nicht stören und der Weg zum Haus ist steil und teilweise nicht befestigt, aber die Wege sind oft so. Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden.

Talk about the role of the "death-rock" band you included, Pale Horse. I always felt they were going to play a more significant role in the conclusion, or at least that we'd see them.Well, we had a lot of incidental details that had nothing to do with the plot. When you do that, it approaches reality a lot more. On some levels, Pale Horse means – well, there's William Blake's reference to "death on a pale horse," there's the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. It was just another little bit of resonance. Just a little bit of background detail to explain all the knot-tops [sinister, punkish kids] who were wandering around. It's just another symptom of the social malaise that Watchmen tried to come to grips with.
The John F. Kennedy speech quoted in issue number 11, the one he was going to deliver in Dallas about being "watchmen on the walls of world freedom" – was that real?It's real. So is the crater on Mars that looks like a smily face [pictured in issue number nine].
That's one that almost seems too good to be real.
I nearly didn't include it because I feared that everyone would say, "How contrived!" But I couldn't resist it.

Conservation systems required on High Erodible Land
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has been one of the most successful conservation programs in the state of Minnesota.
Established in 1985, land enrolled in CRP continues to make major contributions to national efforts to improve water and air quality, prevent soil erosion, protect environmentally sensitive land and enhance wildlife.
Linda Hennen, state executive director for the USDA Minnesota Farm Service Agency (FSA), reminds USDA program participants with expired CRP of the requirement to obtain an approved conservation plan for land classified as Highly Erodible Land (HEL), prior to planting in order to meet USDA program payment eligibility.
To maintain eligibility for USDA program payments, producers are required to implement an appropriate conservation system on all HEL fields. Many farmers with expired CRP acres may be intending to destroy the existing cover in order to prepare the soil for planting. Intensive tillage on expired CRP acres that are also identified as HEL fields may prevent participants from being able to implement a required conservation system.
Field operations and drainage activities performed during winter and spring could impact a producer's compliance status.
Participants are encouraged to consider reviewing their conservation systems on fields that are classified as HEL. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) staff is available to help make the right choices for an operation based on specific soil resources and characteristics.
For additional information regarding HEL conservation systems and wetland compliance, call or stop by your USDA Service Center for an appointment or visit http://www.fsa.usda.gov/crp.

Many of the firms in the sixth annual listing of EC&M's Top 50 Electrical Contractors were relieved to see the tail end of 2003 (to see a complete listing of The Top 50 Electrical Contractors in PDF form, click here).

Shipwreck - The Coin Hoard of the Six Emperors
Exhibition: 12.10.2012 - 1.2.2013
With the exhibition Shipwreck - The Coin Hoard of the Six Emperors the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen will be exhibiting a large hoard of coins from the Mediterranean and some of the shipwreck's other cargo recovered by divers off the Sicilian coast.
During a violent storm in 1991 coins and many other artefacts dating from the Roman Empire, such as pottery vessels and bronze weights, were whirled up from the seabed a short distance from the ancient city of Camarina on the most south-easterly point of Sicily. The coin hoard will now be exhibited for the first time outside Italy. This important discovery occurred by a stroke of pure luck. The sandy seabed shifts constantly with the result that shipwrecks can be quickly exposed and covered up again. The archaeologists involved were, quite literally, in the right place at the right time.
The coin hoard is one of the largest known from the Mediterranean and its composition is particularly significant in that it consists of Roman coins minted in German towns in the northernmost part of the Roman Empire. It was probably from here that the ship began its long voyage, the precise destination of which cannot be established today: what we do know is that the journey ended dramatically, the ship was wrecked and the treasure lost. The vessel may have been a merchant ship on its way home, following a lucrative voyage.
The exhibition will present more than 4000 Roman bronze coins and a selection of other finds from the shipwreck, all of which date from the latter half of the third century AD. Taken together they constitute a unique testimony to the considerable distribution of Roman culture the length and breadth of Europe in Antiquity.
The coins bear portraits of six Roman emperors, some of whom, Gallienus, for example, are also represented in the Glyptotek's own collection of Imperial portraits from this period.
The exhibition has been organised by the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in concert with the Parco Archeologico Terracqueo and the Museo Regionale di Camarina.

Employers increasingly use mindfulness to help employees be more productive and achieve better results. Lesley's Mindfulness Studies programs can help you advance in the workplace.
London's Financial Times recently explored the increasing use of Mindfulness training in Global Fortune 200 Companies as diverse as Google, Target and First Direct. Among those profiled: General Mills, the company behind brands such as Cheerios cereal and Haagen-Dazs ice cream, with a corporate headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota that houses 3000 employees in charge of every element of their multi-national corporate vision - from litigation to product development.
Juggling the complex requirements of the range of brands and products housed within the General Mills campus is intense work. It could be a hotbed of pressure and employee dissatisfaction. It is not. Instead, General Mills is at the center of a global movement that sets the benefits of mindfulness to work every day with extraordinary results. Their leadership mindfulness training initiative ensures that, from the top of the organization through the employee base, the benefits of mindfulness are core to their central business philosophy. The question is, why?
Reason #1: Mindfulness enables a focus and clarity that deadlines, pressure and daily interactions often preclude
Leadership across the board have recognized, through their own use, how mindfulness benefits their own work. So much so that in every building of the General Mills campus there are meditation rooms, equipped cushions and yoga mats that employees are invited to use throughout the day. Human resources has embraced this initiative and the core values associated with it.
Reason #2: Mindfulness is now an inherent part of corporate culture
With mindfulness exercises practiced in meditation rooms and conference rooms alike, potential employees who exhibit the values and benefits of mindfulness will most easily fit in to the culture, and implicitly have the greatest success.
Reason #3: It's no passing fancy
For over 7 years, General Mills has been building its own internal program as central to the efficiency, effectiveness and overall employee satisfaction. Mindfulness training continues to have a strong place in employee development.
Reason #4: Mindful leaders recognize those whose ability to be focused, sustain their attention and be actively in the moment as those who make the clear decisions essential to their every day
Multi-tasking has been revealed as an ineffective skill in a leader; the fragmentation of workload results in less efficiency and creativity. Throughout the organization, the mental discipline of mindfulness is looked to as one of the main assets in project management and internal and external communication.
Reason #5: Leaders from all over the planet are looking for mindful employees as well
With the global marketplace more competitive than ever, the highly pressurized world of yesterday's staid corporate culture no longer applies. Instead, leadership at companies large and small have come to realize the importance of people skilled at reaching beyond the daily pressures and demands and work together to solve problems and build business.

Harvard Medical School published an article last year on their Harvard Health Blog about the benefits of mindfulness meditation for the brain. Titled "Mindfulness meditation improves connections in the brain," the post cites a May 2011 study which suggests that the practice of mindfulness meditation serves to increase brain connectivity, among other emotional, mental, and physical benefits.

Discussion in 'The Coffee Shop ~ Chit Chat' started by SWAT13, May 2, 2012.
Just added a new group for the LE peeps........
Canadian Law Enforcement here!!! Nice club!!! Im joining..
hey hey.....two and counting
Hey SWAT!!... Sorry for not adding you to the Southern Meet thread... Forgive me?? LOL There will be more members to join.. I will find them... I know a few firefighters on here too...
Is this group open to Sheriff Reserves?
What about law enforcement students? I'm in if you allow me.
You gotta ask SWAT!! LOL ...But I say Heck ya!!! the more the better.. Lets talk law enforcement guys!!!
Can we talk about how the general public doesn't understand why police do what they do? I've almost given up on defending police decisions though.
The general public won't understand why police do what they do because they don't WANT to understand. It's much easier to sit back in a seat of ignorant judgement and play arm chair quarterback than to educate yourself. Besides, why would they do that when they can watch CNN, Fox, CBS and get ALL the facts, because news never twists anything just for some viewers, right?
Ok, tangent is over for now. I'm not law enforcement, but I am an Army Veteran and share some of the same frustrations.
Anyway, great idea for a group Swat.
I agree with lonelywolf... SWAT are you cool with people that are going to school for LE joing the group?

|Re: st: -charlist- revised on SSC; question about -*trim()-
|Sat, 30 Apr 2005 10:03:20 -0400
Actually, I faced exactly the same problem last week copying material from a webpage. I can't guarantee that they were char(160), but for sure they were spaces of a size different from the standard Stata size. I also tried trim() and it did not work. I had not seen the discussion, so I did it all by hand. I don't quite remember exactly what I did because it took me so little, but I think I copied the whole thing in Notepad, then in Excel, then -insheet- Renzo ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- *From "Nick Cox" <email@example.com> To <email@example.com> Subject st: -charlist- revised on SSC; question about -*trim()- Date Sat, 30 Apr 2005 12:37:42 +0100 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Daniel Egan started a thread by publicising a dataset in which a string variable that "should have been" numeric contained hard- to-detect non-numeric characters. He eventually fixed his problem by editing the original data file within a text editor. He tried using, among others, the program -charlist- from SSC, but did not find it helpful. I then explained what had happened: the problem arose from occurrences of the non-breakable space, in Stata terms -char(160)-, which is hard to see when displayed at the end of a string. -charlist- had reported the occurrences nevertheless. What I have done is revise the help file for -charlist- adding and explaining this very interesting and instructive example. Kit Baum kindly replaced the file on SSC. You can install or replace -charlist- by . ssc inst charlist or . ssc inst charlist, replace Stata 7 is required, as previously. This leaves an open question about -trim()-. In both Stata 8 and Stata 9, something like . gen foo = "foo" + char(160) adds a character that -trim()- won't remove. . replace foo = subinstr(foo, "`=char(160)'", "",.) will do it. But I'm tempted to regard it as a limitation of -trim()- that it won't remove -char(160)-. -ltrim()- or -rtrim()- raise the same issue. On the other hand, Daniel's report is the first and only report of a problem I can recall of this kind. StataCorp may have a comment.

Lupron Patient Information including How Should I Take
In this Article
- What is leuprolide (Lupron)?
- What are the possible side effects of leuprolide (Lupron)?
- What is the most important information I should know about leuprolide (Lupron)?
- What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using leuprolide (Lupron)?
- How should I use leuprolide (Lupron)?
- What happens if I miss a dose (Lupron)?
- What happens if I overdose (Lupron)?
- What should I avoid while using leuprolide (Lupron)?
- What other drugs will affect leuprolide (Lupron)?
- Where can I get more information?
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using leuprolide (Lupron)?
Certain brands or strengths of leuprolide are used to treat only men and should not be used in women or children. Always check your medication to make sure you have received the correct brand and strength prescribed by your doctor. Ask the pharmacist if you have any questions about the medicine you receive at the pharmacy.
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to leuprolide or similar medications such as buserelin (Suprefact, Suprecor), goserelin (Zoladex), histrelin (Supprelin, Vantas), nafarelin (Synarel), or if you have:
- abnormal vaginal bleeding that has not been diagnosed by a doctor; or
- if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Do not breast-feed a baby while using leuprolide.
To make sure you can safely use leuprolide, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- a personal or family history of osteoporosis;
- risk factors for bone loss such as smoking, alcohol use, or taking steroid or seizure medications long term;
- diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, recent weight gain, high cholesterol (especially in men);
- epilepsy;
- asthma;
- migraines;
- kidney disease;
- a history of depression;
- bone cancer affecting your spine;
- blood in your urine; or
- if you are unable to urinate.
FDA pregnancy category X. This medication can cause birth defects. Do not use leuprolide if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment.
Leuprolide usually causes women to stop ovulating or having menstrual periods. However, you may still be able to get pregnant. Use an effective barrier form of birth control (such as a condom or diaphragm with spermicide gel or inserts). Hormonal forms of contraception (such as birth control pills, injections, implants, skin patches, and vaginal rings) may not be effective in preventing pregnancy while you are using leuprolide.
Because leuprolide is expected to cause your menstrual periods to stop, contact your doctor if your periods continue while you are being treated with this medication.
Long-term use of this medication may decrease bone density, possibly leading to osteoporosis. Talk with your doctor about your possible risk for osteoporosis. You may need to receive a bone scan if you ever need to be re-treated with leuprolide in the future.
How should I use leuprolide (Lupron)?
Leuprolide is injected under the skin or into a muscle. You may be shown how to use injections at home. Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of used needles and syringes.
This medication comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Leuprolide may be given once every month or once every 3 to 6 months. How often you receive this medication will depend on the condition being treated. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Because different brands or strengths of leuprolide are used to treat different conditions, it is very important that you receive exactly the brand and strength your doctor has prescribed. If you self-inject this medication at home, always check your medication to make sure you have received the correct brand and type prescribed by your doctor.
Your symptoms may become temporarily worse as your hormones adjust when you first start using this medication. For best results, keep using the medication as instructed by your doctor. Your condition should eventually improve with continued use of leuprolide.
To be sure this medication is helping your condition, your blood may need to be tested often. This will help your doctor determine how long to treat you with leuprolide. You may still need blood tests for up to 3 months after you stop using leuprolide to check your hormone levels and pituitary gland function. Do not miss any scheduled appointments.
Store Lupron in the original carton at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
Store Eligard in the refrigerator. Do not freeze. You may take the medicine out and allow it to reach room temperature before mixing and injecting your dose. After the dose is mixed, you must use the injection within 30 minutes.
Use a disposable needle only once. Throw away used needles in a puncture-proof container (ask your pharmacist where you can get one and how to dispose of it). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.

During Christmas, I Think of My Once Homeless Brother
Donald D'Haene | Posted 02.23.2013 | Canada Living
Read More: Poor Christmas, Homeless Christmas, Christmas Homeless, Soup Kitchen Christmas, Christmas, Holidays Canada, Vancouver Homeless, Canada Living News
My concern for the homeless is not altruistic. I know what feeds my desire to do something, anything, for fellow human beings who have nothing: guilt, responsibility, memories -- knowing that there but for the grace of God go I. My youngest brother, Erik, has been living off and on the streets for 30 years. My family hasn't seen him in 15 years.
