Nate Adcock wasn't without a Major League Baseball club for very long.
One week after being designated for assignment by the Kansas City Royals, the former North Hardin star right-handed pitcher was claimed off waivers by Arizona Thursday afternoon. The Diamondbacks then optioned Adcock to Triple-A Reno.
In 31 relief appearances and five starts from 2011-12, Adcock posted a 3.79 ERA with 5.5 strikeouts per nine innings and 3.7 walks per nine innings.
However, Adcock has struggled at the Triple-A level the past two seasons with a 6.03 ERA and a lower 5.4 strikeouts per nine innings. At Triple-A Omaha this season, Adcock was 3-4 with a 7.09 ERA in 10 games. The 25-year-old has given up 10 home runs this year while allowing a career-high 12.4 hits per nine innings.
When the Royals designated Adcock for assignment, they had 10 days to make a corresponding move: Return him to the 40-man roster, trade him, release him or – the final option – place him on waivers.
Arizona becomes the fourth MLB program for the 6-foot-4, 230-pound Adcock, who was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the fifth round in 2006 and was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2009. His best season came in 2010 with Bradenton, the Pirates' high Class-A affiliate, when he went 11-7 with a 3.38 ERA and 113 strikeouts in 141 1/3 innings.
Looking to add depth to a young bullpen, the Royals selected Adcock in the Rule 5 draft at the winter meetings in December 2010. Adcock made his major league debut in April 2011 after making the Royals' opening day roster.
Just over a month later, Adcock made his first start against the St. Louis Cardinals on May 21, pitching five shutout innings in a 3-0 loss. But after making one more start, Adcock was moved to the bullpen and eventually was sent back to the minors.

Observed in the bottom of my trash can, after the garbage collector emptied the can, what appeared to be SHB larvae! From all appearances they looked exactly like SHB larvae............ I'm sure (no I'm not, I'm guessing) they could be larvae from some other insect, but they sure look SHB larvae.
If so, they're...............everywhere!

Do you have any idea how many atoms there are in a single neuron?
Thank you, do you even know what 'atom' means ? An indivisible entity that it. That's a model
By the way, I can't figure out the relationship between (physics) atom , and intelligence
Um... I'm not sure who you're addressing here.
Anyhoo, I was thinking about this a lot lately. More precisely, I was reading an "article" about alien lifeforms, and lifeforms that are not based on electromagnetism as ours (chemistry), but on gravity, or strong force or weak force. Could a whole galaxy become "intelligent"? What does it mean anyway? The best definition I can think of is the ability to manipulate the environment in "unusual" ways (what the fuck "unusual" means?). At least we could detect that. But how can a galaxy manipulate the environment in an unusual way, yet, obeying the laws of physics?
Sometimes I feel that being "intelligent" and this whole "soul" stuff is about defying these laws in a way. Free will seems to be defiyng the laws of physics. But that can simply be an illusion, because according to the principle I mentioned earlier, the brain cannot model itself accurately.
random rambling is over.
Excuse me, i was mistaken about who answers

Ali Williams will captain the Blues for the first time when he leads out the side to face the Waratahs in Whangarei on Saturday for their second pre-season hitout of the year.
The 77-test veteran returned to the Blues a month early to kick-start his pre-season training and is excited about not only playing his first game but also leading the team for the first time.
"I've had a pretty good pre-season with a lot of hard work and it's great to eventually get out onto the paddock,'' Williams said. "I'm really excited. One thing I'm probably most excited about is being out in the pressure cooker with all these boys who have done the hard work together, so it's going to be good.
"This is going to be the first real test. You can only really judge a captain by what happens on the field. First and foremost it's how they play and secondly it's how the team comes off.
"There are a few things for me to concentrate on but, at the moment, I'm loving it and having a great bunch of guys around me makes it easy.''
Williams is joined by a number of heavyweights returning to the fray for the first time this year. Northlander Rene Ranger will line up at centre and Chris Noakes starts at first five-eighths.
Wing George Moala will play his first game since fracturing his fibula during the ITM Cup. All Black prop Charlie Faumuina will get some game time off the bench and lock Culum Retallick will also come off the pine to play his first game in five months since suffering a mid-foot joint sprain.
Blues coach Sir John Kirwan said he was uninterested in the Waratahs line-up for Saturday, instead concentrating on what his side needed to improve on.
"We're being pretty selfish at the moment,'' kirwan said. "There's absolutely no use looking at them. It's about getting our systems in place.
"We realise they've got their first game next week and they'll probably be playing their best side so we know they'll be up for it but we can't worry too much about that.''
Blues team to play the Waratahs at Toll Stadium, Whangarei, on Saturday (2.30pm): Albert Nikoro, George Moala, Rene Ranger, Francis Saili, Lolagi Visinia, Chris Noakes, Bryn Hall, Peter Saili, Luke Braid, Steven Luatua, Ali Williams (c), Liaki Moli, Angus Ta'avao, Quentin MacDonald, Tom McCartney. Rerves: James Parsons, Tim Perry, Culum Retallick, Brendon O'Connor, Charlie Faumuina, Ronald Raaymakers, Kane Barrett, Jamison Gibson-Park, Malakai Fekitoa, Marty McKenzie, Baden Kerr, Waisake Naholo, Frank Halai.

text: I just rolled 70K miles a few days ago. My first question, do I need to worry about changing plugs yet? If it would be a good idea. What plugs do yall recommend? I've done some looking around, and these three have caught my eye: 1. AC Delco Iridium ($7 at O'Reillys) 2. E3 ($6 at Stylintrucks.com) 3. Bosch Iridium ($8 at AutoZone) What do yall think about those? Also, I would replace the wires when I changed the plugs. From what I have read around here, it sounds like Taylor wires are a good way to go. I found a set of red 8mm Taylor wires for $60 at Stylintrucks.com. Is that a good deal? Thanks in advance for the help!

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) — a type of artificial insemination — is a procedure for treating infertility. Sperm that have been washed and concentrated are placed directly in your uterus around the time your ovary releases one or more eggs to be fertilized. Older types of artificial insemination placed the sperm in the vagina. While this was easier, it was not as successful as the current procedure.
The hoped-for outcome of intrauterine insemination is for the sperm to swim into the fallopian tube and fertilize a waiting egg, resulting in a normal pregnancy. Depending on the reasons for infertility, IUI can be coordinated with your normal cycle or with fertility medications.
Labor induction — also known as inducing labor — is a procedure used to stimulate uterine contractions during pregnancy before labor begins on its own. Successful labor induction leads to a vaginal birth. A health care provider might recommend labor induction for various reasons, primarily when there's concern for a mother's health or a baby's health.
Labor induction carries various risks, including infection and the need for a C-section. Sometimes the benefits of labor induction outweigh the risks, however. If you're pregnant, understanding why and how labor induction is done can help you prepare.
Medical abortion is a procedure that uses various medications to end a pregnancy. A medical abortion is started either in a doctor's office or at home with visits to your health care provider. Medical abortion doesn't require anesthesia or surgery, but it can only be done early in pregnancy.
Pursuing a medical abortion is a major decision with emotional and psychological consequences. If you're considering medical abortion, make sure you understand what the procedure entails, the side effects, and possible risks and complications.
The minipill, also known as the progestin-only birth control pill, is an oral contraceptive that contains the hormone progestin. Unlike combination birth control pills, the minipill doesn't contain estrogen. The progestin dose in a minipill is lower than the progestin dose in a combination oral contraceptive pill.
The minipill thickens cervical mucus and thins the lining of the uterus (endometrium) — preventing sperm from reaching the egg. The minipill also sometimes suppresses ovulation. For maximum effectiveness, you must take the minipill at the same time every day.
Mirena is a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) that's inserted into the uterus for long-term birth control (contraception). A T-shaped plastic frame that releases a type of progestin, Mirena thickens the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching or fertilizing an egg. Mirena also thins the lining of the uterus and partially suppresses ovulation.
Mirena is one of two hormonal IUDs with Food and Drug Administration approval. The other is Skyla, which prevents pregnancy for up to three years. Mirena prevents pregnancy for up to five years after insertion.
The morning-after pill is a type of emergency birth control (contraception). The purpose of emergency contraception is to prevent pregnancy after a woman has had unprotected sex. Morning-after pills contain either levonorgestrel (Plan B One-Step, Next Choice) or ulipristal (Ella).
Plan B One-Step, Next Choice and Ella are the only morning-after pills that have Food and Drug Administration approval in the U.S. However, other brands of morning-after pills are available around the world.
Plan B One-Step is available over-the-counter without prescription. Next Choice is available over-the-counter for women age 17 and older. Ella is available only with a prescription from your doctor or health care provider.
Myomectomy (my-o-MEK-tuh-mee) is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids — also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs). These are common noncancerous growths that appear in the uterus, usually during childbearing years, but they can occur at any age.
The surgeon's goal during myomectomy is to take out symptom-causing fibroids and reconstruct the uterus. Unlike hysterectomy, which removes your entire uterus, myomectomy removes only the fibroids and leaves your uterus intact.
Women who undergo myomectomy report improvement in fibroid symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure.
Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), also known as noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD), is a screening method for detecting certain specific chromosomal abnormalities in a developing baby.
Noninvasive prenatal testing is a sophisticated blood test that examines fetal DNA in the maternal bloodstream to determine whether your baby is at risk of Down syndrome, extra sequences of chromosome 13 (trisomy 13), extra sequences of chromosome 18 (trisomy 18) or a sex chromosome abnormality, such as Turner syndrome. The testing can also be used to determine a rhesus (Rh) blood type.
Currently, noninvasive prenatal testing is only available for women who have certain risk factors.
Noninvasive prenatal testing might help you avoid other tests that might put your pregnancy at risk. Your health care provider or a genetic counselor will discuss whether noninvasive prenatal testing might benefit you.
A nonstress test is a common prenatal test used to check on a baby's health. During a nonstress test, also known as fetal heart rate monitoring, a baby's heart rate is monitored to see how it responds to the baby's movements.
Typically, a nonstress test is recommended for women at increased risk of fetal death. A nonstress test is usually done after week 26 of pregnancy. Certain nonstress test results might indicate that you and your baby need further monitoring, testing or special care.
A nonstress test is a noninvasive test that doesn't pose any physical risks to you or your baby. Find out what a nonstress test involves and whether this prenatal test might benefit you or your baby.
NuvaRing is a hormonal birth control (contraceptive) device for women. It's a flexible, transparent plastic ring that's inserted into the vagina. You wear NuvaRing for three weeks, and then remove it — allowing menstruation to occur — and then insert a new ring after a week.
Similar to combination birth control pills, NuvaRing prevents pregnancy by releasing hormones into your body. NuvaRing suppresses ovulation — keeping your ovaries from releasing an egg. NuvaRing also thickens cervical mucus to keep sperm from reaching the egg.
NuvaRing is the only vaginal hormonal contraceptive that's approved by the Food and Drug Administration and available in the U.S. To use NuvaRing, you'll need a prescription from your health care provider.

Two students safe after going missing outside Bridger Bowl
BOZEMAN, Mont. - Deputies with the Gallatin County Sheriff's Office say two students are safe after a skier and snowboarder went missing outside Bridger Bowl boundaries.
They say the pair made it back to the Bridger Bowl base area around 10:30 Saturday evening and no medical attention was needed.
The late teens, early twenties man and woman skier and snowboarder were in an out-of-bounds ski area off Bradley Meadows, known as Wolverine. It's an un-patroled ski area riders can access from the Alpine Lift on the north side of Bridger Bowl.
Gallatin County Sheriff's Deputies say the two ended up in the area by accident and, once at the bottom, riders must walk out.
We talked to folks with the Gallatin County Sheriff's Office at around 8:45p. They say they were looking to send out a helicopter to try to locate the students due to dropping temperatures and the fact the wind was blowing away the pair's tracks.
They tell us ski patrol called them at around 5:30 or 6:00p. Friends got in touch with patrolers after the two failed to show up for their ride back to town.
That's when folks with the Sheriff's office took action- putting the helicopter on stand-by and organizing a search effort with Bridger Bowl Ski Patrol.
Deputies say they were advised not to send out a search and rescue posse due to the location of the pair and the waist deep snow, which they say is making it tough for the snowboarder to navigate.
"Bridger Bowl Ski Patrol has four individuals out there, two of them are following the tracks of the two missing skiers and two others are along the boundaries calling for them to see if we can't get a location on them," says Gallatin County Deputy Sheriff Brandon Kelly.
The Gallatin County Sheriff's Office say the fact friends recognized right away something wasn't right and alerted Ski Patrol meant they were able to quickly organize resources to search for the students.
On Sunday, NBC Montana checked in with Bridger Bowl Ski Patrol on back country safety.
Patrol Director Doug Richmond said it's important back-country enthusiasts know the area, have the proper gear and are prepared in case a powder run turns into an overnight stay.
"All these things take a lifetime to get good at, and it takes observation, it takes planning" he said. "You need to have people back home that know where you went, you need to have the proper gear, you need to realize that you may be stuck with an extended stay out there."
Richmond said the two skiers were lucky they weren't stuck overnight- high winds and rough conditions made it hard to locate them, and they were in avalanche terrain.

Information For...
DHB. Worker Compensation and Sick Leave
Employees who suffer work related injuries or illnesses are protected by Worker Compensation Insurance. The protection provides payment for medical expenses incurred from on-the-job injuries and illnesses. It also provides weekly compensation in accordance with the formula specified by the Texas Workers' Compensation Commission. (Note: None of the coverage's offered by the Texas Employees Group Benefit Plan (GBP) administered by the Employee Retirement System of Texas applies to work connected injury and illness medical or lost work time expenses.)
Employees who have accumulated sick pay days may, if they so desire, use them while off work due to on-the-job illness and injury. However, the combination of college-provided sick pay and pay from Texas Worker Compensation Insurance cannot exceed one's regular college salary or pay rate. Should such occur, the college would reduce its portion of pay accordingly for each month's pay period.
When first reporting back to work from a lost-time, job-related accident or illness, the employee must present his/her supervisor with a written release from a licensed medical physician stating that the employee may resume all regular full-time duties.

text: I'm sure plenty of you have already read it, but I was kind of late to the party. It's a great read, and was very eye opening for me. It showed my several areas in my preps where I am weaker than I realized. A very interesting thing for me about the book was the fact that it took place where I grew up, in and around the Asheville, Black Mountain, and Swannanoa area of Western North Carolina. I've been on the Montreat College campus many times in my youth, and when they talk of the VA Hospital, the DMV, etc.. I've been to all those places as well. Heck I got my driver's license at 16 at that very DMV office. I guess IMO, it had an even greater impact since I could picture everything he describes, as it actually is, not just in my mind based off of descriptions. Really a big impact. Any rate, if any of you out there have NOT read this yet, I highly recommend it.

Let's imagine you've still got some raw eggs you didn't manage to boil up for Easter. You're standing there at the open fridge door, asking yourself the usual question: "Can I combine this with booze? And if so, how?"
Back in the day, unfertilized chicken embryos were a staple bar ingredient, dropping raw eggs into flips, nogs, sours, fizzes, certain cocktails, and other things relatively few people drink anymore. Over time, eggy drinks fell out of fashion (there seems to be a lot more talk of them in my cocktail books from before prohibition than after).
The craft cocktail revival is bringing eggs back to the bar. Still, bartenders tell me it tends to be the connoisseurs, the intrepid explorers of cocktailology, who take the plunge. Casual drinkers, don't let us have all the fun.
I blame a culture of fear around food and the gradual narrowing of the North American palate. I could go on about people's food anxieties. It's enough to say that eggy cocktails are a lot tastier than you'd imagine, and suitable for people who don't like the flavour of a cooked egg.
Apparently people expect the addition of raw egg to make a drink slimy and chunky and taste like eggs.
No. If you only use the white, the protein creates a layer of froth that sits atop the liquid, turning the cocktail into something delicate, silky and soft. And egg whites have little to no flavour themselves, so the drink will not taste like egg.
My fellow Canadian Darcy O'Neil explains here at Art of Drink: "The main protein (ovalbumin), in eggs, is a tightly wound molecule and when it is shaken or beaten, it unravels. Think of shaking a big box full of slinkies and then trying to sort them out."
People also hesitate because of fears over salmonella. It might help to know that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration estimates that these harmful bacteria infect just one egg out of 20,000 in the United States. That's a big number; it would take you 55 years to consume 20,000 eggs at a rate of one a day.
And on top of that, while I'm no scientist, I also figure alcohol is a disinfectant. If that's a spurious argument, I'm happy to be corrected on it. Of course, some people have compromised immune systems and won't want to take unnecessary risks no matter what the odds. Fair enough.
But if you're willing to get cracking, visit That Sweet Burn to check out a few recipes. Here's a teaser.
London Cocktail
There are other unrelated concoctions going around calling themselves by this name. This one is an evolved species of flip and is adapted from Hugo Ensslin's Recipes for Mixed Drinks (1917); I amended it to egg white only, cutting out the yolk. It requires you to track down orgeat syrup and orange flower water, but you'll be glad you did. As a hint, Italian specialty food stores often have the former, and Middle Eastern stores the latter. Or you can just Google them and order online.
• 2 oz. rye whisky
• ½ oz. orgeat
• white of 1 egg
• 2 dashes -- say, 1/8 tsp. -- orange flower water
• dash of freshly grated nutmeg to garnish
Method: In a cocktail shaker half filled with ice, add all ingredients except nutmeg. Seal and shake vigorously until frothy (one minute should do it) and strain into chilled rocks glass. Add dash of nutmeg across the surface.
Remember: Always shake egg drinks very hard and until a thick froth develops. If your arms can't take it, some people use a hand blender instead.
FROM LIQUOR.COM: The Bubbly Secret To Spring Cocktails
It doesn't get much more traditional than this summertime gin sipper, which dates back to the early 1800s. It was most likely invented by Stephen Price, who worked at London's Garrick Club. View recipe: Tom Collins
Even robust Scotch becomes summery when mixed with both ginger ale and club soda. The combination is effervescent but not too sweet. This recipe also works wonderfully with spicy rye whiskey or gentler bourbon. View recipe: Presbyterian
Tropical rum is often paired with sweet fruit juices, but this tipple reveals its lighter side, thanks to refreshing mint and cucumber, floral St-Germain and of course club soda. The recipe was created by top bartender and Liquor.com advisory board member Jim Meehan. View recipe: Kew Garden
Ever tried authentic sloe gin? The sweet-and-tart berry liqueur has plenty of uses beyond the guilty-pleasure Alabama Slammer. Bright lemon juice and club soda both help make this cocktail extremely quaffable. View recipe: Sloe Gin Fizz
No matter if you love or hate vodka, you should try this cocktail, which is a distant relative of the Mojito. Our recipe is courtesy of top barman and Liquor.com advisory board member Dushan Zaric. View recipe: West Side
Tequila and Champagne? Sounds strange, but trust us: This elegant variation on the Paloma proves the two were meant to be together. View recipe: The Dove

The president of a rowing club at a top Auckland school said it came close to liquidation after a teacher stole $40,000.
Former Takapuna Grammar teacher Nova Camp, 54, was sentenced to seven months and two weeks' home detention when she appeared at the North Shore District Court today.
She had earlier pleaded guilty to three representative charges of using a document to obtain a pecuniary advantage.
Camp was also ordered to carry out 200 hours of community work and to repay the $40,398.44 she stole while treasurer of the club at $80 a fortnight.
It will take her more than 19 years.
Takapuna Grammar Rowing Club president Russell Malone said the money Camp stole could have bought four new boats.
"We did have to consider putting [the club] into liquidation. It was such a big impact,'' he said.
Mr Malone said Camp's behaviour had caused some sponsors to shy away from the successful club that attracts up to 70 students a year.
He said the theft came to light after creditors complained they weren't being paid when the club thought they had been.
"I could smell a rat. Things didn't look right.''
It was a shock when the truth came out.
"She was someone we had a relationship with and it was all really faceless. The anger in the community and with all the parents is major.''
In court, Judge Nevin Dawson said Camp had written 58 cheques over nine months.
The majority were made out to cash but some were banked directly into her account. Some of the money was used to pay her power bills.
Judge Dawson told Camp her behaviour had been a breach of trust and reduced the opportunities of some of the club's members to take part in the sport.
Camp's lawyer Lucy Smith had earlier asked for the case to be adjourned so her client could take part in a restorative justice meeting with the club.
That request was rejected because the club believed the meeting would not have achieved anything.
Ms Smith said things "started to spiral'' after Camp's husband sold their business in 2004.
"She was having trouble juggling.''
Ms Smith said Camp had approached Work and Income for budgeting help. Camp was now being helped by four of her children who were at university.
Judge Dawson took into account Camp's early guilty plea, remorse and previous good record.

Venezuela, Colombia focus on security
Venezuela, Colombia focus on security
By JORGE RUEDA
EL TABLAZO, Venezuela -- The leaders of Venezuela and Colombia agreed to launch regional energy projects and emphasized their commitment to stopping Colombia's civil war from spilling into Venezuela.
Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Colombia's Alvaro Uribe agreed Wednesday to build a $200 million natural gas pipeline as part of a regional energy network that has its eyes on Asian and U.S. West Coast markets.
Uribe said he and Chavez also discussed building an oil pipeline across northern Colombia to the Pacific Ocean for Venezuelan exports.
"As soon as possible, we want Venezuela to build the pipeline from Maracaibo (in Venezuela) to the Colombian Pacific to export its oil and other products as far away as Alaska," Uribe said.
"Many of the things we want to do should have been done 15 or 20 years ago," Uribe said, noting that Venezuela hopes to nearly double its oil production over the next decade.
Chavez said armed forces from both nations should be able to protect the pipelines from sabotage by Colombia's warring factions.
Chavez insisted Venezuela doesn't tolerate the presence of leftist guerrillas or right-wing paramilitaries in Venezuela - allegations that overshadowed past bilateral meetings.
"We have not and will not allow the presence of armed groups of any kind: drug traffickers, paramilitary fighters (or) guerrillas in Venezuelan territory," said Chavez.
Chavez voiced his support for ongoing efforts to end Colombia's armed conflict peacefully saying "any advance toward the road to peace is positive."
Uribe lauded Venezuelan troops for recent actions against both guerrillas and paramilitaries caught inside Venezuela along the remote 1,400-mile border.
The leaders met at El Tablazo, a petrochemical complex on the eastern coast of Venezuela's oil-rich Lake Maracaibo, about 300 miles west of Caracas.
Venezuela, the world's fifth-largest oil exporter, has recently stepped up its petroleum diplomacy for regional integration, announcing plans for a South American oil cooperative and a new company to deliver Venezuelan oil to Caribbean nations.
Initially, Colombia will use the 120-mile natural gas pipeline to send gas from its northeastern La Guajira peninsula to western Venezuela. The pipeline should be completed by 2006.
Eventually, Venezuela will send gas to Colombia, and the pipeline will form part of a network delivering gas to Central America and Mexico.
Chavez and Uribe also agreed to build a bridge connecting Venezuela's Tachira state with Colombia's Norte de Santander department; share electricity; and address the plight of refugees fleeing Colombia's civil war.

Hostas are exceedingly popular perennials in today's gardens due to their versatility in the landscape. Their subtle colors, tall flower scapes, and broad, coarse leaves fill a niche in garden designs that few other plants can achieve. Their large leaves provide excellent coverage for dying bulb foliage. Hostas also grow well in city environments where the air may be polluted by car exhaust, etc.
Breeder: Paul Aden
Origin: Not Native to North America
Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth. Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to hostas. They are most at home in shady, woodland settings and often work well as specimen or edging plants.
Hostas are very easy to propagate through division. This can be done at any time during the growing season with little or no affect on the growth of the parent plant. Since each division should have at least 3 eyes, plants should be allowed to mature for several years before being divided.
Especially in northern zones, hostas should be mulched with a layer of finely shredded organic material to prevent heaving in the winter. Mulch is beneficial because it retains moisture around the plant's roots, but it is also the ideal place for slugs to hide. Watch for holes in the center of the leaves. If they are present, so are slugs. Applying a slug bait in early spring when new shoots are beginning to emerge will help to reduce the slug population. After a few years when plants are firmly established, the mulch can be removed completely, which should eliminate the slug problem altogether. Also be sure to clean all hosta foliage out of the garden in early winter after the plants have gone dormant. By doing so, you will be ridding the area of the eggs of slugs and other leaf-eating insects.
Hostas have gone by many names, including Funkia, Plantain Lily, Giboosi, and Hemerocallis.
While every effort has been made to describe this plant accurately, please keep in mind that the height, bloom time, and color may differ in various climates throughout the country. The description of this plant was written based on our experience growing it in Michigan (USDA hardiness zone 5) and on numerous outside resources.

FDA Approves Lynparza to Treat Advanced Ovarian Cancer »
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today granted accelerated approval to Lynparza (olaparib), a new drug treatment for women with advanced ovarian cancer associated with defective BRCA genes, as detected by an FDA-approved test.
Ovarian "...
Read the FDA Approves Lynparza to Treat Advanced Ovarian Cancer article »
Plasma concentrations of the parent compound, cisplatin, decay monoexponentially with a half-life of about 20 to 30 minutes following bolus administrations of 50 or 100 mg/m² doses. Monoexponential decay and plasma half-lives of about 0.5 hour are also seen following 2-hour or 7-hour infusions of 100 mg/m². After the latter, the total body clearances and volumes of distribution at steady-state for cisplatin are about 15 to 16 L/h/m² and 11 to 12 L/m².
Due to its unique chemical structure, the chlorine atoms of cisplatin are more subject to chemical displacement reactions by nucleophiles, such as water or sulfhydryl groups, than to enzyme-catalyzed metabolism. At physiological pH in the presence of 0.1M NaCl, the predominant molecular species are cisplatin and monohydroxymonochloro cisdiammine platinum (II) in nearly equal concentrations. The latter, combined with the possible direct displacement of the chlorine atoms by sulfhydryl groups of amino acids or proteins, accounts for the instability of cisplatin in biological matrices. The ratios of cisplatin to total free (ultrafilterable) platinum in the plasma vary considerably between patients and range from 0.5 to 1.1 after a dose of 100 mg/m².
Cisplatin does not undergo the instantaneous and reversible binding to plasma proteins that is characteristic of normal drug-protein binding. However, the platinum from cisplatin, but not cisplatin itself, becomes bound to several plasma proteins, including albumin, transferrin, and gamma globulin. Three hours after a bolus injection and two hours after the end of a three-hour infusion, 90% of the plasma platinum is protein bound. The complexes between albumin and the platinum from cisplatin do not dissociate to a significant extent and are slowly eliminated with a minimum half-life of five days or more.
Following cisplatin doses of 20 to 120 mg/m², the concentrations of platinum are highest in liver, prostate, and kidney; somewhat lower in bladder, muscle, testicle, pancreas, and spleen; and lowest in bowel, adrenal, heart, lung, cerebrum, and cerebellum. Platinum is present in tissues for as long as 180 days after the last administration. With the exception of intracerebral tumors, platinum concentrations in tumors are generally somewhat lower than the concentrations in the organ where the tumor is located. Different metastatic sites in the same patient may have different platinum concentrations. Hepatic metastases have the highest platinum concentrations, but these are similar to the platinum concentrations in normal liver. Maximum red blood cell concentrations of platinum are reached within 90 to 150 minutes after a 100 mg/m² dose of cisplatin and decline in a biphasic manner with a terminal half-life of 36 to 47 days.
Over a dose range of 40 to 140 mg cisplatin/m² given as a bolus injection or as infusions varying in length from 1 hour to 24 hours, from 10% to about 40% of the administered platinum is excreted in the urine in 24 hours. Over five days following administration of 40 to 100 mg/m² doses given as rapid, 2- to 3-hour, or 6- to 8-hour infusions, a mean of 35% to 51% of the dosed platinum is excreted in the urine. Similar mean urinary recoveries of platinum of about 14% to 30% of the dose are found following five daily administrations of 20, 30, or 40 mg/m²/day. Only a small percentage of the administered platinum is excreted beyond 24 hours post-infusion and most of the platinum excreted in the urine in 24 hours is excreted within the first few hours. Platinum-containing species excreted in the urine are the same as those found following the incubation of cisplatin with urine from healthy subjects, except that the proportions are different.
The parent compound, cisplatin, is excreted in the urine and accounts for 13% to 17% of the dose excreted within one hour after administration of 50 mg/m². The mean renal clearance of cisplatin exceeds creatinine clearance and is 62 and 50 mL/min/m² following administration of 100 mg/m² as 2-hour or 6- to 7-hour infusions, respectively.
The renal clearance of free (ultrafilterable) platinum also exceeds the glomerular filtration rate indicating that cisplatin or other platinum-containing molecules are actively secreted by the kidneys. The renal clearance of free platinum is nonlinear and variable and is dependent on dose, urine flow rate, and individual variability in the extent of active secretion and possible tubular reabsorption.
There is a potential for accumulation of ultrafilterable platinum plasma concentrations whenever cisplatin is administered on a daily basis but not when dosed on an intermittent basis.
No significant relationships exist between the renal clearance of either free platinum or cisplatin and creatinine clearance.
Although small amounts of platinum are present in the bile and large intestine after administration of cisplatin, the fecal excretion of platinum appears to be insignificant.
Certain genetic variants in the thiopurine S-methyltransferase gene (e.g., TPMT*3B and TPMT*3C) are associated with an increased risk of ototoxicity in children administered conventional doses of cisplatin. A retrospective study was conducted in 162 children, the majority of whom were of European ancestry. Patients were administered a median cumulative cisplatin dose of 400 mg/m² for a median treatment duration of 4-5 weeks. Of those 162 children, 106 had severe ototoxicity (Grade 2 or greater). Twenty-six of the 162 patients had one or more TPMT gene variants. Of these 26 patients, 25 had severe ototoxicity (96%). For Caucasians and African Americans, approximately 11% of the population inherit one or more of these variants.

Nicolet cutting costs after governor's budget comes in at zero
Utilities, health care keep going up; projects take $300,000 off the top
Glendale - Like many districts around the state, Nicolet was hoping for Gov. Scott Walker's 2013-15 budget proposal to include an increase in the revenue limit which controls how much districts can take in via local tax levy and state aid.
State Superintendent Tony Evers had petitioned Madison for a revenue limit increase to the tune of about $200-250 per student, which would help ease the belt-tightening around the state after the 2011-13 state budget first cut the overall revenue limit by 5.5 percent in the 2011-12 school year and included a modest increase for the current year. To Nicolet, that meant a decrease in its per pupil revenue limit by $847 per student in the 2011-12 year and a $50 increase in the 2012-13 year.
Walker's recent 2013-15 budget proposal, to the dismay of Nicolet administrators and the School Board, holds the revenue limit flat over the next two years.
The prospect of no new money, combined with declining enrollment and increased operating costs, means the district will start cost cutting to fund upcoming capital projects and mitigate inflation.
Business Manager Jeff Dellutri told the School Board on Monday that the district will present a list of potential cuts along with a draft 2013-14 budget to the board in mid-May.
"It's a challenge," Dellutri said of the budgeting process, and as a result of the flat revenue limit, "some things are going to go up, so other things have to go down."
Costs on the horizon
Dellutri estimates the district to pay about $300,000 annually for 10 years to pay down debt on a stormwater overhaul and expanded special education center, necessitating cuts over that period. The price tag of the two projects combined is an estimated $2.5 million, though costs could fluctuate when the district goes out to bid for the work.
"You're going to have to cut $300,000 right off the bat," Dellutri told the board.
Board member Joseph Kasle pointed out that the district will need to continue cutting after that, since zero increase in revenue limit from the state doesn't keep pace with inflation.
"It's one thing to say zero. In reality our electricity goes up … everything goes up," Kasle said. "So how do we measure such things, and say it isn't really going to be zero, it's going to be (some negative amount)? Our revenue stays the same but our expenses don't."
Dellutri said a safe guess of yearly increase in transportation cost is around 3 percent, utility costs increase by an amount that's difficult to estimate, and health insurance and dental typically increase as well.
The board and administration have been contemplating several new budget items as well, including security improvements and a full-time guidance counselor who would work with students and court prestigious universities on behalf of applying Nicolet grads.
The draft budget presented in May will show a clearer picture of future costs, potential cuts, and the fate of any new programs.
"What we need to do is sit down and prioritize what we want to do," Superintendent Rick Monroe said.
Sources of revenue?
Board member Morton Grodsky asked what sources of additional revenue the district could explore.
Dellutri's projections show the district dipping into its reserves over the next three years to sustain the budget, though the district's fund balance should remain more than 25 percent of the overall budget, per board policy. Monroe commented that the district will likely seek a continuation of its $2.1 million annual operational referendum which was passed in 2011 and is effective through the 2015-16 year.
The district will increase student fees as time goes on, Dellutri said, but the district's best bet is to increase enrollment.
Historical data and projections presented by Dellutri show a decline in enrollment over the last three years and an expected decline through the next three.
He said more students, and therefore more funding from the state and local taxpayers, are the surest sources of funding.
"Your time is probably better spent trying to attract students here," Dellutri said.
Monroe commented that the district is considering new ways to bolster enrollment, and that his strategy has been to work with Nicolet's feeder districts and the surrounding area to increase the district's visibility and create a feeling of community.
"We're developing a sense that Nicolet is a choice school," he said.

Perfect place and location to spend 3-5 days in Athens. Very close to all historical sites and city center. Plenty of nice places nearby to eat and drink. Appartment was well equipped, clean and maintained.
Ralou was great host! We would definitely choose this place again!
Our stay in Athens has been very nice: Ralou's appartment is located in Thissio neighborhood, so every morning you see the Acropolis right in front of your eyes as you go for a coffee.
The appartment is nice and in a quiet street. Ralou is an extremelly helpfull hostess: she leaves a list of recommendations, tips from Athens and places to visit, and helping us with the taxis coming and leaving Athens. There was a minor issue with the shower and she inmediatelly took care of solving it for future guests.
We passed a nice weekend in Athens. Ralu 's place is perfect to see the historical centre, to walk, to relax and if someone want to move all around by bicycle. The appartement is comfortable, utilitarian and concerned, secure and well decorated with all the neccesary equipment. With Ralou we had an flawless intreaction, by email and phone, and always in a very polite and friendly. You have not afraid for anything. Further information, maps and quidebooks were at the apartment also.The only i will propose Ralu to fix is a better way to saves the beddings for sofabed during the day -like a small box. Thank you Ralou,
Ralou is a very charming host very welcoming and caring ! I will definitely come back to her flat in Athens, highly recommended, central, nice and cosy !
Ralou is a very charming host very welcoming and caring ! I will definitely come back to her flat in Athens, highly recommended, central, nice and cosy !
Ralou welcomes us with great hospitality. The location of the appartement was perfect. The appartement was lovely furnished and well equiped. We felt immediately "at home". Thank you very much for the little "catering" (cookies). They helped us over the day. "The six Dogs" is a green oasis in the middle of a pulsating city. Nice place to have a rest.
Ralou´s appartment is amazing, i strongly recommend it to any visitor in Athens, is very well furnished, cool decoration and located in the heart of Athens if you want to try the real "greek taste" you can go walking to the Acropolis, Monastiraki, Plaka and Gazi. Ralou welcome us with a big smile and lots of cookies! A perfect place for a perfect city!
My wife and I were looking to stay in Athens near the acropolis area, but not at the high prices being offered. Then we came across the property listed.
The entire experience was above and beyond our expectations! As a senior member for a hotel, I must say that Ralou is a true professional and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her property(s).
Ralou was caring that our entire stay not only in her property, but our vacation in Athens was memorable.....and it truely was.
The apartment was prefect. Clean, neat and organized. Lots of information packages for any tourist to use with a "locals" recommended package there as well. The area was quite and literally just around the corner from all the sites, restaurants and attractions.
Thank you for the great memories. We look forward to the opportunity to stay with you again.
Nasai Kala
The apartment is perfect and Ralou is a wonderful host, so friendly and she has very good advices for eating and drinking.
The apartment is lovely. Everything you would want or need. Excellent location. Walking distance to all the major sights and yummy resturants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were superbly well taken care of. Thank you Ralou!

Water-Saving Tips to Beat the Drought
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Just days after Governor Jerry Brown declares a drought emergency for California, communities are doing their part to save water.
Images of Cachuma Lake in Santa Barbara County which is below 40% of its capacity, have state officials on edge. Residents are asked to conserve on their water use both indoors and outdoors.
One tip is to take shorter showers. Five minutes versus 10 minutes could save roughly 12.5 gallons of water. Residents are asked to turn off the faucet when brushing their teeth or shaving.
But to put things in perspective, Santa Barbara's Public Works Department said 50% of our water use is in landscaping. Therefore, residents need to start with their sprinkler systems.
Residents need to test their systems and make sure they're spraying in the right direction and working properly. They also need to adjust their sprinkler timers. Right now it's advised to change your water amount to 40% of what you would be used the summer.
Residents can also schedule an appointment with city staff wherein they can come to your homes or business to evaluate the water use. They will make recommendations on how to be more efficient and it's all for free.
For a complete list of tips:

Town Square
Town of Danville Going To Social Media
Original post made by Geoff Gillette, Danville, on Nov 22, 2011
Just wanted to take a moment and let everyone know that the Town is adding more avenues of communication.
The Town of Danville is constantly working to enhance its communication with the public and, with that in mind, the Town of Danville will add social media to its communications beginning November 25, 2011.
Coinciding with the annual lighting of the Oak Tree, the Town will add both Facebook and Twitter to the avenues of communication currently being utilized.
Residents who wish to follow the Town's Twitter feed can subscribe to @DanvilleINFO.
Initially, there will be three Facebook pages that residents can go to. The Town's main page, www.facebook.com/DanvilleCA, and place pages for both the Danville Police Department, www.facebook.com/DanvilleCAPolice and the Village Theatre and Art Gallery, www.facebook.com/DanvilleVillageTheatre.
The Town is encouraging residents who utilize Facebook to both "Like" the Danville Town Page and share it with their friends to spread the word. The page will be updated on an ongoing basis with information on Town programs, projects and events of interest to the public.
Hope to see you all on Facebook!
Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving!

Dear Geoff and Editor,
When having direct access by e-mail to each council member does not work and appointments for neighborhood groups do not mature, how does social media improve community engagement, communications and interaction on neighborhoods' issues. Example: Explain how this will solve the traffic impact of Magee and Weber Ranch approvals, please.
Do you expect impacted county communities as Alamo, Diablo and Blackhawk to use social media for interaction with Danville's government?
Joyous wishes at Thanksgiving

To the previous poster......don't over think this. Being on Facebook is just a way for the people to keep up with the town happenings. (Town programs, projects and events of interest to the public.)
It will not will solve the traffic impact of Magee and Weber Ranch approvals and this article doesn't even come close to claiming it will.
Chill out and take the facebook account for what it is...something fun.

Emirates Stadium recently played host to an innovative community project designed to strengthen family relationships in Islington and Camden using the power of football.
The Family Skills Project, run in conjunction with Arsenal in the Community, Family Lives and the National Children's Football Alliance (NCFA), consisted of a week-long programme with 10 vulnerable families, using principles of football to improve parenting skills through the teaching of non-aggressive communication and behaviour.
The project comprised of 10 parents and 14 young people, all of whom were recruited due to their proximity to Emirates Stadium. Using the link to the Club as a means of boosting engagement, the project's aim was to bring the families together and use football as a force to improve communication and intergenerational support.
As part of the activity, parents joined their children for fun practical football sessions, while the parents themselves took part in a number of smaller workshops and activities focusing on communication, anti-bullying and child support.
Ernie Brennan, Director, NCFA, said of the scheme: "The Family Skills Project puts the feel good factor back into family football and reinforces intergenerational relationships."
The project also received a glowing testimonial from those involved with one parent saying that she now 'loves playing football' and another parent describing it as 'fun, informative and helpful'.
By encouraging better discipline and positive behaviour, it is hoped that the families will take their learnings away into their domestic life, enabling their children to achieve greater things at school and fulfill their true potential.

Lucky's Market opens in Columbia
Grocery store opens in spot left vacant by Osco Drug
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A new grocery store opened in a part of Columbia that has not had a store in more than two decades.
Lucky's Market officially opened Wednesday on South Providence Road in the old Osco Drug building. The organic grocery store also has a liquor store and a cafe.
Store officials say 155 full-time workers will be employed at the store and all of the employees are from the Columbia area.
The owner of Lucky's Market told ABC 17 News that business has exceeded his expectations and there is a high demand for a local, organic grocery store.
"There was no full service natural food store in Columbia, so I think that was what my wife and I got more excited about," said Bo Sharon. "I think we can fill a need."
Sharon said the location is also an advantage. The store is located between the University of Missouri campus and numerous residential neighborhoods. He said it also helped that there was an existing building in place.
"That's the beauty of the location," Sharon said. "Dependent on which way you look, you get a melting pot of diversity which is invigorating and exciting for us."
Several shoppers say Lucky's will quickly become their main grocery store.
"I think I'm going to come here a lot," said shopper Laura Eggeman. "The other stores are nice too, but it takes me longer, so this is handy. My husband works at the university so when I pick him up, this is convenient."
Even shoppers that do not live close to the store say the product and prices are good enough to make it their primary store.
"Produce at a good reasonable price is a good thing," said Kyra Haynes. "Lots of stores around town -- some of the more reputable name stores -- they tend to jack up the price of fruit quite a bit."
Lucky's Market owners expect business to stay steady for awhile, especially as students continue to stagger back to Columbia from winter break.

A strong players' training weekend will be held from November 16th-18th in Barford, Warwickshire. As in previous years, Guo Juan (5 dan professional) will be teaching. The weekend will consist of a mixture of games, lectures and reviews, with a maximum group size of 14.
The purpose of strong players' training is to increase the number of British players with ratings of 4 dan and above. As such, the weekend will be very intensive, and participants will be expected to do some preparatory study beforehand (exercises will be assigned).
The total cost will be £55. This includes accommodation (probably a sleeping bag option), as well as all meals (from Friday evening until Sunday evening).
This event is open to all BGA members with an EGF rating of at least 2100 (or equivalent, such as KGS 2 dan). If you are not currently a BGA member, you can join in advance at http://britgo.org/join – the current rate is £24 for annual membership, or £15 for concessions. If your rating is slightly below 2100, but you are improving rapidly, you may be allowed to attend if there is space.
Please contact Martha McGill (martha.mcgill at hotmail.co.uk) for more details, or to register an interest in taking part.

we're probably more healthy than most real families because we dont' sweep **** under the rug
which in fact - if Shock and Awe shows his face on here be sure to bend him over and stick it to him because he never sent fantasy money and has gone on a full on ignor trip of me.
Maybe the border control took his check when they checked him for his passport
not to talk about someone behind their back, but wasnt s&a having some sort of legal trouble? or am i thinking of something different alltogether?

And yet he continued to participate in our FF league. His behavior is inexcusable. He should have offered up his team to someone else who would actually honor his commitments.

I'm sure he would have accepted his winnings if he placed.

Oh i didnt play football this year, soi didnt recall any of that. that's awful.

Scientists Report Transplant Advance for Type 1 Diabetes
The new technique avoided having to use immune-suppressing medications, while still allowing the islet cells to function and make insulin. In theory, the chamber "hid" the transplanted islet cells from the patient's immune system, the researchers explained.
Islet cells are normally found in the human pancreas. One critical function of these cells is producing insulin -- a hormone crucial for metabolizing the carbohydrates in food. In people with type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease, the islet cells have been destroyed by the body's own immune system.
"In order to transplant replacement cells, heretofore, the immune response to the foreign cells has had to be controlled with immunosuppression," explained study co-author Dr. Norman Block.
Now, he said, senior study author Dr. Stefan Bornstein "has found a way to implant foreign cells and protect them without using immunosuppression" -- drugs to dampen the immune system.
Medications used to suppress the immune system can come with significant risks and side effects.
The study was released online Oct. 28 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Because their bodies lack working islet cells, people with type 1 diabetes no longer produce enough insulin to survive. They must take daily insulin injections or receive their insulin through a small catheter underneath the skin that's attached to an insulin pump.
Maintaining the proper levels is a difficult task. Too much insulin, and blood sugar levels can drop to dangerously low levels that at their worst can cause seizures and even death. Too little insulin, and blood sugar levels run high. Over time, these high levels can put someone with diabetes at risk of complications, such as vision problems and kidney disease.
Needed levels of insulin vary from person to person, and according to the types of food someone eats, how much they eat, how much they exercise and what type of stress they face.
Because islet cells can currently only be transplanted with the use of immune-suppressing drugs, the implant procedure is limited to patients who have difficult-to-control diabetes and experience repeated episodes of life-threatening low blood sugar levels. Immune-suppressing drugs have potential side effects, including the risk of infection and certain cancers.
To try to make the implant procedure available to more people, the researchers designed a semi-permeable chamber to house the islet cells, with the hope that the immune system wouldn't be able to "see" the new foreign cells.
However, when islet cells are first transplanted, they haven't established their own blood supply and aren't able to get oxygen when they're hiding in the chamber. For that reason, the current version of the device had an oxygen port on the outside of the body attached via tubing that had to be refilled daily by the patient for as long as a month or two, Block explained.
The device was implanted into a 63-year-old man, who'd had type 1 diabetes for 54 years. He was of average weight, and didn't have any serious complications from his diabetes.
Blood tests for a substance called C-peptide showed he wasn't producing any of his own insulin. C-peptide is a byproduct of insulin production, and is often used to measure the success of diabetes treatments in research settings. If C-peptide levels rise, it means insulin production has risen.

Story highlights
- Sir Richard Branson's rebuilt island home offers stunning views of the Caribbean
- The house was destroyed in a 2011 fire caused by lightning
- The island can sleep up to 30 adults and six children
Ever dreamed of renting out an entire island for your family and friends? Sir Richard Branson's private home in the British Virgin Islands is on the rental market again.
The price tag? A mere $60,000 per night for 30 adults and up to six children.
Branson's Great House on Necker Island was struck by lightning during a storm in August 2011 and destroyed in the resulting fire. Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet made headlines by rescuing Branson's elderly mother from the flames. The island has been accessible to renters since the fire, but with more limited capacity.
"Necker Island has been my home for more than 30 years, and for me it is the most beautiful place in the world," Branson said in a statement. "The brand new Great House is the heart of the island and I'm thrilled with the results."
The two-year reconstruction was modeled after the original design. The Great House, where guests gather for meals and socializing, has a master suite, eight additional bedrooms and a bunk room that sleeps up to six children. There are also six individual one-bedroom Bali Houses across the island.
Included in the price tag are your accommodations, all meals and drinks (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic), boat transfers from Virgin Gorda or Beef Island (Tortola) airports, water sports, tennis and a freshwater pool and large Jacuzzi.
If you don't want to hire the entire island, designated "Celebration Weeks" allow guests to book individual rooms hotel-style for seven nights (and sometimes fewer, depending on availability).
