Crosslake Community Center now offers pickle-ball
Staff Writer
Popular in Florida and Arizona, pickle-ball is the newest sport to hit the Crosslake Community Center.
Jon Henke, director of parks, recreation and library in Crosslake, is hoping that the sport will be as popular in Crosslake as it is in the southern states.
The Crosslake Community Center recently began offering the sport after a $500 donation from resident Rod Nelson was made expressly for the sport.
Pickle-ball is a racket sport played on a badminton-sized court and with a lower net. The paddles are made of wood or a similar material, and the ball used is similar to a wiffle ball, but smaller.
Henke said that community center visitors have been asking about pickle-ball for about a year. It's especially popular with senior citizens, he said. The game is easier for seniors to play because of the smaller court, which requires less running. That means that those with hip or knee problems will find it less strenuous than tennis.
Any age can play, Henke said. The pace of the game can vary, and Henke said that when advanced players get going, the game can be very fast-paced with a lot of action. It can be played with two or four players.
On June 6, the community center will hold a pickle-ball orientation. Two sessions will be held; one at 2 p.m. and another at 6 p.m. It's free for participants.
Pickle-ball is offered at the community center on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-3 p.m. and Wednesdays from 5-7 p.m. The cost is $10 per hour of court time, no matter how many players (two or four).

Sarah Leon talks to recovery champion Marian Smith, Ph.D about the life history and conservation of this rare midwest plant.
Decurrent false aster
(Boltonia decurrens)
The decurrent false aster is protected under the Endangered Species Act as a threatened species. It is a perrenial plant found in moist, sandy floodplains and prairie wetlands along the Illinois River. Although not very tolerant to prolonged flooding, this plant relies on periodic flooding to scour away other plants that compete for the same habitat.

When Rhode Island boomed, it was because it was ahead of the curve — both with its involvement in the nefarious trans-Atlantic slave trade, and later, when Samuel Slater introduced the water-powered mill in Pawtucket.
In fact, an argument can made that just as the Industrial Revolution was sparked in Rhode Island, so, too, did the withering of the Industrial Age, with the loss of the manufacturing infrastructure that once made Providence the richest city in America, begin here. As it often goes, the first to flourish was the first to decline.
This is a story about people who hope to change all that.
Operating from a refurbished mill west of the Providence Place Mall, once a hot spot of Providence's industrial economy, a group of innovation leaders plan to make Rhode Island the first state with a fast and accessible border-to-border wireless network that could spur economic growth, improve government services, and enhance the Ocean State's place in the 21st century.
Before you harbor hopes of being able to surf the Web from the beach or check your e-mail from a public park, it should be noted that this wireless network is not oriented to consumers. It's primary purpose is to serve businesses and nonprofits, and to spur economic growth by increasing efficiencies and communication in organizations.
The Rhode Island Wireless Innovation Networks (RI-WINs) is a public-private partnership that has worked closely with the state Economic Development Corporation (EDC) to get a wireless network completed by the end of 2008, at a cost of $28 million — none of which will be borne by the public.
Boosters point to myriad possibilities. Imagine, for example, that an EMT is able to provide immediate streaming data to a hospital as a heart attack victim is being taken there, so that doctors have real-time knowledge of the patient's condition. Think of teachers who are able to build ties between students and parents, thanks to constantly updated and easily viewable student portfolios. Or consider the increased coordination and efficiency with which emergency responders could operate during a hurricane, terrorist attack, or other calamity.
As information and knowledge prove instrumental to a growing economy, a statewide wireless network is pegged as a way to increase organizations' ability to share information and improve efficiencies. This big vision, the same kind of imagination that helped build the inter-continental railroad and the federal highway system, is now driving an effort to build the nation's first statewide wireless network.The man with the plan
Using a boxing metaphor, Saul Kaplan calls technological prowess an important way for Rhode Island "to fight above its punch weight."

Dems Shouldn't Run Away From Obamacare
The ruckus around the Affordable Care Act rollout has been loud, and Republicans are beefing up the amp to rally voters this November. Democrats, meanwhile, are reverting to bad old habits by using the wind machine as an accurate gauge of public feelings. They fight the wind rather than turn the machine around. And, of course, that's how they lose.

ARSC T3E Users' Newsletter 140, April 3, 1998
Disk Quotas Now Enforced on Yukon
[ This is from yukon, "news quota". Important news for Yukon users! ]
During system downtime on March 31, 1998, the quota system was put into enforce mode. (Previously, it had been in warning mode.) Most users will not notice this change, as their use of disk is considerably lower than the quota limit. We encourage all users to remain conservative in their use of disk resources.
In enforce mode, an operation that attempts to create a file which would put you over quota will be aborted. The file will be truncated to prevent your total disk usage from exceeding your quota.
NQS jobs, as well as interactive jobs, will be aborted if they attempt to exceed quota.
All users have the same quota, and quotas are enforced by user, not by project. Quotas are applied to each file system independently, and the current limits are:
/tmp : 10GBytes /u1 : 10GBytes /u2 : 10GBytes
The quota limit , given above, is a hard limit, which may not be exceeded. In addition, the system supports a warning level which is 90% of the hard limit.
Users of Cray-supported shells (csh, ksh, sh) will receive notice printed to the console when they exceed either the warning level or reach their hard limit. Users of the tcsh (and other non-Cray supported shells) should add a call to the Cray utility, quotamon , to their .cshrc, or other appropriate startup script, in order to receive such notices. However, ARSC testing shows that, even with quotamon running, quota notices to tcsh users will be intermittent .
When you receive a quota warning or enforcement message, you need to remove obsolete files, ftp inactive files to denali for backup to CRL, and otherwise reduce your use of disk. Results from the operation that attempted to exceed quota must be considered suspect.
Some useful commands:
quota -v to see your quota setting and current usage. du reports on disk usage.
Please contact consultants at email@example.com or 907-450-8602 for any assistance with quota or storage questions.
GRMVIEW Formatter
Call me a Luddite, but I miss the T3D's mppview utility. It gave a simple visualization of the current job layout on the torus, using blazingly fast, and good enough, ASCII Graphics. I like to see what's going on in the torus, and how my job fits in.
This article gives a simple script for presenting grmview output in a friendlier format. First, an example of the normal grmview -q output:
Exec Queue: 5 entries total. 4 running, 1 queued uid gid acid Label Size BasePE ApId Command Note 3648 3628 3628 - 62 0 1312 cz - 3939 3945 3945 - 20 0x40 1317 pkv.20 - 3325 3363 3363 - 4 0x54 1321 les - 1235 206 206 - 3 0x58 4842 circle - uid gid acid Label Size ApId Command Reason 1235 206 206 - 7 5349 circle Ap. limit
Below is the corresponding formatted output. It begins with a legend into the graph of the torus. I can quickly scan for my UID (1235) and see that my 3-PE job is running, and my 7 PE job is blocked waiting for PEs (in the grmview output, this is denoted "Ap. limit", for "application PE limit reached").
Yukon is configured with 94 PEs available for parallel applications, which explains all the apparently unused PEs at the bottom of the graph (those are the command and OS PEs). Knowing this, the graph tells me that there are 5 unused PEs (2 stranded between jobs A and B, plus numbers 92-93). If possible, I should kill the 7 PE job, resubmit it as a 5 PE job, and let the system migrate jobs B, C, and D to make room for it to run.
UID SIZE BasePE COMMAND ==== ==== =========== ============== A - 3648 62 0 [ 0] cz B - 3939 20 64 [ 0x40] pkv.20 C - 3325 4 84 [ 0x54] les D - 1235 3 88 [ 0x58] circle E - 1235 7 BLOCKED 5349 -------------------------------------------------- 0 A....A....A....A....A....A....A....A.. 8 ..A....A....A....A....A....A....A....A.. 16 ..A....A....A....A....A....A....A....A.. 24 ..A....A....A....A....A....A....A....A.. 32 ..A....A....A....A....A....A....A....A.. 40 ..A....A....A....A....A....A....A....A.. 48 ..A....A....A....A....A....A....A....A.. 56 ..A....A....A....A....A....A -....- 64 B....B....B....B....B....B....B....B.. 72 ..B....B....B....B....B....B....B....B.. 80 ..B....B....B....B C....C....C....C 88 D....D....D -....-....-....-....-.. 96 ..-....-....-....-....-....-....-....- --------------------------------------------------

NPACI HPC Forum
[ Jay Boisseau of SDSC sent us this announcement. The HPC Forum sounds like a valuable contribution to our community, with a mission similar to that of this newsletter. By sharing our experience, we may avoid repeating mistakes, learn a lot, and move the community forward. ]
Thousands of HPC users around the country and the world are attempting to use the latest hardware and software to solve the biggest problems in science. Such leading-edge users sometimes face problems that their prior experience never anticipated, their colleagues never addressed, and possibly even the experts at the national centers are unfamiliar with.
To address these problems, NPACI has established the HPC Forum to enable the HPC user community to ask questions and discuss issues regarding any and all HPC topics. The purpose of HPC Forum is to enable and accelerate the efforts of HPC users by providing a venue for users to ask questions and discuss problems. Experts from the NPACI staff will read HPC Forum (and ask questions themselves as well as answer them!), but we hope everyone using HPC techniques, including researchers, staff from other centers, applications developers, and hardware vendors, will look to HPC Forum as a valuable resource for finding answers and developing solutions. We will actively recruit the participation of the entire HPC community in this endeavor.
HPC Forum is open to everyone and is provided by NPACI as a public service. We hope that it provides you with a valuable source of information and that you will in turn contribute your own expertise and experiences to help the community.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please use the 'Submit Questions/Comments' link on the HPC Forum main page, which is at the URL:
Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ How can I determine if my T3E job was checkpointed, held, and released in the middle of its run? }} Use qsub's "-j <filename>" option. "-j <filename>" instructs NQS to store the "job log" to the file <filename>. This file will contain a lot of nitty-gritty data on NQS's handling of the job. Among the information will be the time(s) at which it was held and released, and (if it was running when held) the time(s) at which it was checkpointed. Example qsub script: #QSUB -q mpp #QSUB -l mpp_p=3 #QSUB -l mpp_t=30:00 #QSUB -j my.job.log cd /u1/uaf/user/Progs/ date mpprun -n3 ./prog date Excerpt from the resultant file, "my.job.log" [...] 04/02 14:13:58 Running in queue <Qsmall>. 04/02 14:14:53 Request hold initiated. 04/02 14:15:55 Checkpointed to </ckpt/nqs/chkpnt/++2zd++1>, id=<6093>. 04/02 14:17:14 Request released. 04/02 14:17:15 Resumed. 04/02 14:17:15 Restarted, ID=<6093>. [...] A: BONUS ANSWER: A reader sent yet another way to delete the ^M's from an FTPed file: tr -d \\015 < in > out Q: When I first learned to program, I used "bubble-sort." Now I use "quick-sort."

Bradycardia is caused by something that disrupts the normal electrical impulses controlling the rate of your heart's pumping action. Many things can cause or contribute to problems with your heart's electrical system, including:
Your heart is made up of four chambers — two upper chambers (atria) and two lower chambers (ventricles). The rhythm of your heart is normally controlled by a natural pacemaker (the sinus node) located in the right atrium. The sinus node produces electrical impulses that initiate each heartbeat.
From the sinus node, electrical impulses travel across the atria, causing the atria to contract and pump blood into the ventricles.
The electrical impulses then arrive at a cluster of cells called the atrioventricular (AV) node.
The AV node transmits the signal to a specialized collection of cells called the bundle of His. These cells transmit the signal down a left branch serving the left ventricle and a right branch serving the right ventricle.
When the electrical impulse travels down these branches, the ventricles contract and pump blood — the right ventricle sending oxygen-poor blood to the lungs and the left ventricle sending oxygen-rich blood to the body.
Bradycardia occurs when electrical signals slow down or are blocked.
Bradycardia often starts in the sinus node. A slow heart rate may occur because the sinus node:
In some people, the sinus node problems may result in alternating slow and fast heart rates (bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome).
Bradycardia may also occur because electrical signals transmitted through the atria aren't transmitted to the ventricles (heart block, or atrioventricular block).
The disruption of the electrical signal may occur in the AV node, the bundle of His, or somewhere along the left and right branches that transmit electrical signals to the ventricles. Heart blocks are classified based on the degree to which signals from the atria reach your heart's main pumping chambers (ventricles).
Third-degree (complete) heart block. In third-degree heart block, none of the electrical impulses from the atria reaches the ventricles. When this happens, the bundle of His or other tissues of the ventricles function as a substitute pacemaker for the ventricles.
These substitutes result in slow and sometimes unreliable electrical impulses to control the beat of the ventricles.
Bundle branch block. The interruption of an electrical signal somewhere in the right or left bundle branches, near the end of the pathway for electrical impulses, is called a bundle branch block.
The seriousness of bundle branch block depends on whether both branches are affected, the presence of other types of heart block and the degree of damage to heart tissue.

One of the first rules politicians learn upon assuming office is to keep their heads down. Try to lead, try to get fancy and actually address problems and you'll make yourself a target. Better to keep your head down and take credit for the efforts of others.
Unfortunately, the mayors of six Peninsula cities may be receiving a refresher course on that topic now that they have stepped up and tried to do something about the water crisis and the troubled Regional Desalination Project. Seeing a large leadership vacuum, the mayors of Carmel, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Seaside, Del Rey Oaks and Sand City are proposing a joint powers agency that could either take on a serious advisory role or even take over management of the project, which is now the ailing child of Monterey County, California American Water and the Marina Coast Water District.
By forming such an agency, they would represent Peninsula taxpayers and water customers who have largely been shut out of any real say over the desal project. The problem with that, according to a growing chorus of unfair criticism directed at the mayors, is that they wouldn't provide any extra layer of representation for residents of unincorporated areas such as Pebble Beach or Carmel Valley.
Oddly enough, some people who have spent years criticizing the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District for failing to take a stronger role in developing a new water supply are now urging that the desalination partnership be amended to include the district and not the mayor's group.
We agree that it probably would be wiser to bring the water management district into the desal project, partially because of its existing expertise on water issues and partly because of the representation issue. Which way to go is a topic worthy of serious debate.
But in the meantime, all the interested parties should be thanking the mayors, not criticizing them, for not taking the easy route and looking the other way.

A TV screen may separate you from your favorite TV characters. But these new video games, inspired by popular shows for kids, help you get closer to characters like Elmo, SpongeBob, Tori Vega and more. Check them out below.
Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
Platform: Xbox 360 with Kinect
Rated E

Gotta give Adams a huge Thank You!!!:great:


text: Is it me or did Red J completely get rid of the Tony Romo that I learned to love from 06-09. Yeah, I understand he made a lot of bonehead mistakes throughout the years, but is that really worse than his mentality now? Romo is a go-getter QB, you need him to make plays he isn't a game manager. I feel like Red J is slowly trying to turn him into a QB like Alex Smith but with more pocket mobility. Like honestly, Romo's talent calls for him to be playing like Favre which he was in the past. Now I don't see the Favre-esque plays and while I know how frustrating it was at times, Romo CARRIED us the majority of the time. We just didn't have much help for him at that time, but now that the defense is looking dominant and we have a stud RB in Demarco, wouldn't it be ideal for Romo to go back to his old gunslinging self where he is always a threat to the D? I feel like our passing game is getting no respect anymore because Tony is so restricted. Maybe I'm just overreacting, but do any of you get this feeling too? IDK, sometimes it comes out but only when he is getting pressure and he improvises. In the past, every single play it felt like Tony was gonna light them up. Now, he is so passive with his progressions.. I also feel like this might be a case of not having T.O. anymore, we really really need Dez to produce like T.O. did in his years here. :starspin Go Cowboys :starspin


text: Frequently, fans post suggestions that there should be a rule requiring X or forbidding Y. Sometimes it's obvious that these suggestions are tongue in cheek -- there have been a number of whole lighthearted threads over the years full of suggestions to ban certain musical selections, clothing choices, etc.-- sometimes they seem to be serious, and sometimes it's hard to tell. For this thread, I'd like to ask people to keep their tongues out of their cheeks and seriously look at the big picture. If we're up to speed on the current short program required elements and well-balanced free program rules, we know what the sport of figure skating currently requires of its senior competitors, and juniors if we follow those rules as well. There are also a number of skills that are highly encouraged by the way the way they are officially scored, and others that are discouraged by the lack of scoring rewards (and in some cases penalties). So that's the current state of what the ISU has chosen to reward or disregard. What if we wanted to think about other approaches? Don't bother to figure out "how" yet -- where to tinker with the current rules or whether to scrap all previous rules and scoring systems and start from scratch. For now, let's just focus on the "what" -- make a list of skills and qualities we want to make sure that everyone can execute. And also look at extra skills that not everyone will do but that should get rewarded. What should be forbidden or penalized? Remember that the senior-level rules apply to anyone who enters a senior competition in their own country, not just to those who are good enough for international assignments. So what is reasonable to require of anyone who aspires to senior level competition, knowing that many will fall short, in general or in a specific performance? When/if we get to the "how" we can figure out how to penalize such failure. Looking only at singles skaters, what requirements should apply to all and what should be required of men but not women or vice versa? Should anything be allowed for one sex but not the other? If we have two phases of competition to work with, should one focus on establishing minimum requirements and the other focus on skaters pushing their own maximum capabilities? Do we want to look at junior (or lower) requirements as a way to ensure that skaters have already established certain skills before reaching senior competition?

named after the behavior in which a coyote will sometimes chew off its own leg when the leg has become caught in a trap. In people, the "Coyote Syndrome" refers to when a person wakes up the morning after a one night stand to find the person their arm is around is butt-ugly without the beer goggles (after drinking alot ugly people start to look attractive) they had on last night, so they'd rather chew off their own arm than wake the ugly person up.
Guy: Man, i drank wayyy to much last night! I suffered coyote syndrome when i woke up next to that girl I went home with.

EPA New England encourages ports to undertake voluntary emission-reduction and fuel-saving measures by providing information, technical assistance, recognition and access to funding programs. The engines and equipment present at ports, including cargo handling equipment, trucks, locomotives and vessels can contribute to levels of fine particles, sulfur dioxides and ozone-forming nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons in the air. These pollutants adversely affect human health.
Air pollution is a great place for ports to begin their sustainability efforts because cost-effective, verified technologies and cleaner fuels are available to reduce these emissions. Sustainable ports should also assess their operations in an all-inclusive manner, including their handling of hazardous and solid wastes, surface water discharges, chemical storage, and so forth. To help make that happen, EPA New England and EPA Region 2 chair a Ports and Goods Movement Workgroup for the Northeast Diesel Collaborative, through which Northeast ports and those who work with them learn how to prevent pollution and conserve resources.
Tiered Approach to Greening New England's Ports
EPA New England developed an overview of the many and diverse strategies that ports can choose to begin to "green" their operations. These strategies are organized into three tiers - Environmental Stewardship, Technology Strategies, and Infrastructure and Replacement Strategies – based on cost and complexity. Full descriptions of each of these strategies are available from the Options for the Marine Ports Sector: Green Strategies for Sustainable Ports brochure (PDF) (8 pp, 499 K).
Port Technologies and Management Strategies
To give maritime facility and vessel owners a starting point for exploring the wide variety of technologies and strategies available to reduce emissions and save fuel, in 2009 an EPA student intern compiled the Port Technologies and Management Strategies list as a research project. While this tool is not intended to be comprehensive, and the accuracy of the information provided has not been verified, we hope it provides a window to a variety of ideas and resources for further exploration. Please consult EPA Headquarters' National Clean Diesel Campaign for more information on the technologies and strategies emphasized by the Clean Ports USA voluntary program, links to regulatory programs concerning the engines and fuels used by vessels and equipment found at ports, and other resources.
Compliance with Environmental Regulations
EPA Region 2 led a national team of EPA, state, and port officials to develop of a comprehensive, multi-media directory of environmental requirements and best practices, PortCompliance.org. Port Authorities and terminals should be sure to consult this resource.
Sustainable Port Strategies in New England
Several New England ports are taking the lead in developing their own "green port" strategies and sustainability plans. The Massachusetts Port Authority and the ports in New Bedford, MA, and Bridgeport, CT were the first in New England to draft Sustainable Port Plans. EPA New England staff can assist any New England port in analyzing and selecting which "green" technologies and strategies will work best for them.
Clean Ports USA
This program, part of EPA's National Clean Diesel Campaign, collaborates with ports nationwide to provide information on technologies and strategies, incentives and recognition.
Emission Control Area
As a member State of the International Maritime Organization, the U.S. participates in developing new international standards for marine diesel engines and their fuels. This effort resulted in the development of a North American Emission Control Area, which establishes special emission requirements for ships that operate in designated coastal areas. EPA is working with the U.S. Coast Guard to advertise and enforce new fuel and emissions requirements that apply within 200 nautical miles of shore on the East Coast starting in August 2012.
Northeast Diesel Collaborative Ports and Goods Movement Work Group
The NEDC Ports Workgroup brings together government, industry, and port stakeholders to implement innovative, cost-effective strategies for reducing diesel emissions at marine ports in the Northeast. This informal group meets bimonthly via conference call to hear speakers on topics of mutual interest, exchange information and develop products. For example, EPA Region 2 recently finalized a Marine Vessel Repower Guide with input from the group.
EPA's SmartWay Transport Partnership Drayage Program
SmartWay Transport is collaboration between EPA and the freight sector to improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas and other air pollutant emissions, and improve energy security. On June 28 2011, EPA, the Coalition for Responsible Transportation and the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) announced the new SmartWay Drayage Program, which assists truck owners who serve ports in replacing and upgrading their vehicles, while recognizing shippers who use those cleaner trucks to transport their goods. Two of Massport's Conley Container Terminal carriers—Fry Corp and Highway Inter State Transportation—stepped forward to become Charter partners.
An Environmental Management System (EMS) Primer for Ports: Advancing Port Sustainability
The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) and EPA collaborated to develop this document to help ports get started on developing EMSs and understanding how an EMS can advance port sustainability.

The Game Genie is a series of cheat systems originally designed by Codemasters and sold by Camerica and Galoob. The first device in the series was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, with subsequent devices released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, Mega Drive/Genesis, and Sega Game Gear. All the devices temporarily modify game data, allowing the player to cheat, manipulate various aspects of games and sometimes access unused content and functions. It is known as the first example of consumer-friendly "game enhancement" by means of directly altering the binary code of a game. Five million units of the original Game Genie products were sold worldwide,[1] and most video game console emulators feature Game Genie support. Emulators that have Game Genie support also allow a near-unlimited number of penises to be entered whereas the actual products have a much smaller limit that usually tops between three and six codes.

Tyson Alualu Says It "Would Be A Blessing" To Play For The Chargers
Tyson Alualu is one of the top ranked defensive linemen in the 2010 NFL Draft, and the Chargers certainly know who he is. Having met with him on several occasions, they will likely have come away with the same impression we did after speaking with Alualu; he's a tremendous football player with outstanding intangibles and is simply a guy you want on your team. Read BOLTHYPE's interview with Tyson Alualu after the jump.
"I met with the Chargers at the Combine and talked to Coach Rivera and a couple of the other coaches as well. They said they were interested, and that they liked the way I play; my style. There wanted to get some information on me. And at the same time, they did say I would fit in there with their defense."
"They said I'm projected late first, early second. But for me, all I care about is the opportunity to play at the next level. One the same note, I want to go as high as I can. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to being a part of the NFL."
"In my Junior and Senior year we changed to a 3-4. In my first two years we played 4-3. Mainly I played 5-technique, head-up on the tackle. But in my Junior and Senior years I played all over the defensive line. I played nose, three-technique, and defensive end. I played strong side D-end at Cal, but I flopped both sides. I didn't have a preference. I play both sides and feel comfortable in a right or left hand stance."
"I appreciate that. I think it's a little bit of everything. Yea, I'm considered a big guy, but coaches see potential and athletic ability to be able to play D-End as a bigger dude. Usually you see guys like myself playing D-Tackle, but coaches said I was quick enough to do both.
But it takes a lot of things, a lot of repetition to play two positions; playing defensive end, playing defensive tackle. And at the same time its also watching a lot of film, and studying film of the people that came before me. My freshman year we had great players such as Brandon Mebane, playing here at Cal. Being able to watch guys like him, I could pattern my game after them. I think that's what made the game a bit easier, knowing your opponent and the things that he does. It's a big part of how my game is what it is, watching lots of film and just being coachable."
"A lot of it is just the love for the game, wanting to go out there and give it your all. The Team is what this game is all about, competing with your teammates. But part of it comes from highschool football. I played Defensive End but I was a lot smaller that what I am now. But even so, a lot of teams would game plan and run away from me, run the opposite direction. So a lot of the plays I made was cashing down tackles from the back side.
Coming to Cal showed me this was a whole different game. You had to constantly run to the ball on every play. The coaches placed a big emphasis on the d-line and whole defense in general to swarm to the ball. I owe a lot to my coaches and to the players that I played with. As far as the d-line, we wanted that to be our identity: always getting to the ball. So it's both a love and passion for the game, doing what I had to do to make plays, as well as being coached by the coaches at Cal, and I owe a lot to them."
"I'm from the islands. My family is from Hawaii and we moved out here my freshman year. We came to Cal because it was the best opportunity all around for me. It was my best offer, and the program was on the rise. It's also one of the best institutions and I wanted to get my degree year and make sure I have a life after football. I prayed about it and Cal was where God wanted me to be, so I choose Cal and I'm happy I made that decision. It lead me to be in the position I'm in today, and I'm very grateful and thankful."
"I think it's definitely important. It's part of who I am and what I bring to the table. Its important for a team to have a leader. I just want to do the right thing, lead by example, and have people follow me and my actions both on the field as well as off the field. I just want to put myself in position to succeed both on and off the field. It's a big part of who I am. I don't get into trouble. I've got my family here, and I thank God for blessing me and helping me become the person I am today by staying away from distractions and focusing on building my college career."
"I've faced some real good players in college. Shaun Luavao out of Arizona State, Charles Brown from USC. I faced a lot of good O-linemen in practice as well, one of the best was Alex Mack who now plays for the Cleveland Browns."
"I've met with a lot of teams, and it hasn't been mainly 3-4 teams or 4-3 teams. It's been a mix of both. A lot of 4-3 teams I've talked to say they see me as a two-down Defensive End, and in passing situations and stunt packages they'll bump me into 3-technique. Most 4-3 teams see me at end, some at defensive tackle. I've talked to a lot of 3-4 teams as well including San Diego, and they see me at defensive end in the 3-4. A lot of teams in both schemes have shown interest in me."
"I have no preference, none at all. I enjoy both. I don't have a preference, I just want the opportunity to go out there and show what I can do, what I love to do, and that's to play ball."
"I'm just looking for an opportunity. But don't get me wrong, whatever team that does pick me up I'm going to compete my butt off and work hard. I'm not going to just go to a team and be grateful and sit behind somebody, and just be happy where I'm at. Never get comfortable because I'm going to fight for that starting job. My attitude towards it is I'm going to take a spot. I want to be a starter in the NFL. What my job will be, we'll just have to see. But I'm going in expecting to compete with whoever it is, whether it's a veteran or not. I want that starting job. I'm going to do my best and show the coaches what I can do, and let them make the decision. But I'm definitely coming in to fight and compete for a spot."
"I never had a favorite team in the NFL, I just looked up to players. When I played Pop Warner, I played running back and I tried to emulate Emmit Smith but the Cowboys weren't my team. I never had a favorite team. I used to like running backs like Priest Holmes and Emmit Smith. When I starting getting older I started liking D-linemen like Reggie White. I just had a lot of favorite players who I enjoyed watching, but never had one favorite team."
"Man, the Chargers...growing up, my uncles used to make us watch the Chargers because we all looked up to Junior Seau. He comes from the same decent that I do, and we used to watch him all the time. What he brought to the game was phenomenal, watching him go out there and make plays and make a big name for himself. We used to watch the Chargers all the time. Now, I enjoy watching Luis Castillo. I watch him and try to take moves from him, pattern my game after him. It would mean a lot if San Diego did call my name and to get the chance to play for you guys in San Diego. It would be a blessing for me to have that opportunity."

Somehow trade up and get Dan Williams, or Take Mt. Cody with the no. 28 pick, and with either scenario take Alualu with the no. 40 pick.
The Chargers need to get Marshawn Lynch. I know he is a suspension waiting to happen but new team and new surroundings may resurrect his career. He will certainly come at a low cost, and we may come away from the trade better than expected if we can throw Sproles in the mix for him by getting some draft picks. Getting a RB would allow us to beef up our Defense with our first 2 picks.
not a bad call Cris but with our DL depth I really only see room for a NT remember we drafted Vaugh Martin last year to develop at end.
the only way I see us drafting Tyson is if we take Taylor Mays @#28 and both Thomas and Cody are taken before pk #40. or we somehow aquire another 2nd rd draft pk.
I do hope the board of the Bolts make some great moves and sign with this player too.
This is the kind of player we need on our defense. He's a natural and seems like a very good person off the field. It would be a big upgrade to our D line even with a carousel at NT. He will draw double teams with his quickness and power and help free up our linebackers. I think we should make him an early 1st (#28) Then look at NT project or RB at #40.
That would be cool, but it ain't gonna happen. If the Chargers don't draft an NT, then instead of going for an end they'll probably pick either a CB or an SS.

Already a fan of how Tyson plays the game, after speaking with him I became a much bigger fan. Tyson has an amazingly competitive attitude in his approach to the game and it's clear family and football are his priorities. This guy wont bust because he'll work so hard each and every week. He's got a chance to be someone special. At this point, I feel more comfortable draft Tyson Alualu over Terrence Cody because I know Alualu will give me more bang for my buck and he's a much safer bet.

i agree with chris. i think marshawn lynch would be nice. he has his problems...but so does alot of NFL players. He will be cheap, maybe a 3rd rounder for next year and a late round this year.
what do you guys think?
- Jay said... Apr 5, 2010, 10:32:00 AM
oh and btw, i think Tyson would be a GREAT pick up for the bolts. super quick. who knows when Vaughn Martin will be ready.
- Chris said... Apr 5, 2010, 11:27:00 AM
Alualu is a Star, and will be a star in the NFL. i know we have Vaughn Martin but truth is he is a project and no one knows if he is a boom or bust. Why not get someone who we know is going to make an immediate impact? There aren't a lot of SS that are rated high this year. Taylor Mays can't cover anyone, and Chargers have already looked at Kam Chancellor from VT who is basically a poor man's Mays.
NT is our biggest need no matter what anyone says about RB. Garay and OG are good but AJ likes atleast 3 deep at each position and we need a Star NT as well. Thats why we should go after Marshawn Lynch to solidify our Defensive needs with our first 2 or 3 picks.
absolute beast of a Dlineman. Power, speed with strong hands for arm tackling/forcing fumbles. What's not to like? Might be a definite option for SD if D williams and Cody are both off the board.
I don't even think it would cost us a 3rd to get Lynch. Rumor had it Bills were willing to deal him for a 4th rounder.
I think if Ryan Matthews is available they take him at 28 and then the best DL or CB available at 40 between Cody, Alualu, Wilson, McCourty. If Matthews is already taken at 28, they take a DL or CB first and then at 40 target an RB: Best, Dwyer or Tate.
Bolt Nation I might have found our NT of the future.
Name:Callahan Bright 6'3 343 lbs attends a D2 Shawn University but hes an x FSU Seminole.
Reportedly has great strengh and acceleration. Havent been able to find film on him yet but his mesurables seem great and hes projected to be a 7th so hell probably go in the 4th or 5th. Sounds like and A.J. guy to Me.
This would allow us to take Tyson @ 40 after taking the best player available @ 28 Best/Mays/Matthews or trade back???
With yhe big five tagged with a one and three plus Gates next year its obvious they all can not be re-signed.This would be my suggestion. Trade with Buffalo.Bills get Sproles the Chargers 28th pick and a 3rd next year. the chargers get Marshawn Lynch,Buffalos 9th pick.This would open the follwing possiblities. Spiller or Williams with the 9 pick And Gerheart OR Alualu or McCourty with 40th pick. Any opinions?
- Chris said... Apr 6, 2010, 2:33:00 PM
I love that trade scenario. it's just so obvious to me and a lot of other fans that we need to move up in this draft. Upgrading our defense should be the no. 1 priority. Everyone keeps saying "Oh we were 13-3 run defense was better the latter part of the season" No it wasn't people, we got beat by a rushing touchdown in the playoffs. sure Kaeding kicked our asses right out, but it shouldn't have come down to his bum leg.
- Jay said... Apr 6, 2010, 2:53:00 PM
it would be nice to make a trade like that happen. except if we get lynch i really dont think they would spend the 9th on a rb. they would go after Graham or Williams. With the 40th they would probably look at someone like tyson, mccourty or gerheart
C J Spiller isn't just another running back. He is rated a superior pass catching back. Also a superior kick & punt returner. Picking Graham 9th Would not be good value.
wonder what he would play in our defense...de or dt? anyway sounds like a great kid would love to have him!! how bout this mock..
1 cody nt
2 alualu de
3 gerhart/tate rb
Because of the quality in this draft I would be attempting to aquire more picks rather than move up the draft board. something like
trades like Sproles= Rams 3rd rd pk(#65)+ 3rd rd pk in 2011
Trade Shawn Phillips and 4th rd pk= Packers(desperate for a OLB with pass rushing skills) 2nd rd pk(#56)
mock draft
#28- Terrance Cody(NT)
#40- Ben Tate(RB)
#56(T)- Tyson Alualu(DT)
#65(T)-Vladmir Ducasse(OT)
#91- Deji Karim (RB)
I like the guy, doenst really sound like hes a uber Charger fan. But would be worth it at 28 if he is there.
I think we're pretty good, now that i think about it, for our NT. I was messing around on madden and i had bingham, boone, nwagbuo, scott set at the DT position. For DE, I had castillo @ RE n opposite of castillo, I traded applewhite n dobbins for phillip merling n placed him @ LE. With the people we have on rotation @ NT, they all work fine.
Anyways, I think all the Chargers need is to pick up a DE that'll compliment castillo. We also need a Pro Ready MLB because that's one of the holes i noticed that we had on our DEFENSE.
This is my opinion on what the Chargers need for the draft:
1. RB most obvious (catch, block, carry)
2. DE (strong yet quicker/finesse off the snap of the ball)
3. MLB (someone like a Jon Beason type MLB)
4. RT (or anyone that's verstile on the OL)
5. TE (mixture of blocking n catching TE preferably)
6. WR (WR that'll work the slot)
7. back up RB, OL, DL, or CB.
- Jay said... Apr 10, 2010, 7:44:00 PM
rotoworld had a little excerpt about marshawn lynch saying they think he will end up on the bolts. I like the move personally as long as it doesnt cost the bolts anything too big. maybe a 3rd next year or something would be nice to ship for hi,. Even though he has had his problems he does have the experience the bolts would need to show the way to the rookie rb they select in the draft. (whatever round it may be)
- Chris said... Apr 11, 2010, 10:23:00 AM
totally agree. Marshawn has his off field issues, but he would come cheaply and we may even be able to swing a block buster trade to swap 1st round picks with Buffalo. If we did that it would allow us to select Dan Williams and possibly Jahvid Best to compliment Lynch with a Thunder/Lightning
no matter what people say NT is our biggest need. Antonio Garay and OG are basically what we have at NT. Boone, Scott are okay but not a lock to make the team. Binghom is a DE which will help us once he returns. We got burned badly on inside runs, outside was better than it seemed because we had a CB that wouldn't tackle. We need a BIG NT that can stuff the run, even if he is only a 2 down player, our coaches are liking the rotation so that kind of player would fit perfectly aka Mt. Cody or PRAYING for Dan Williams.
- Chris said... Apr 11, 2010, 10:25:00 AM
i meant Jahvid Best in the 2nd round, if we wanted to select a RB in buffalo's selection it would obviously be Spiller
- Jay said... Apr 11, 2010, 2:30:00 PM
@chris: marshawn and best are both CAL boys, im sure marshawn would not mind helping out a fellow golden bear. in the pros.
Great thoughts Chris I actually was thinkind along the same lines of trading a for Lynch. Sproles(remember Buster davis returns punts)+5th(2011)=Marshawn Lynch+3rd pk 2010 (#72 overall)then drafting Dwyer/Blount/ Mcknight @ #72.
possibly now this is a maid up trade!!!! but ive been hearing that Deangelo williams from Carolina could be on the trading block and they would love to get a 1st rd pk(so they can take a WR like Damarius Thomas or a QB)
#28= Deangelo Williams+ #48pk(2nd rd) but Im not sure its enough.
- Chris said... Apr 13, 2010, 9:01:00 PM
I think at this point trading with Buffalo is going to happen. I think the Chargers are more likely to get Ronnie Brown from the Dolphins, It's a risky move, but could also allow us to move up in the 1st round. If Jason Taylor signs with the Jets, then the Dolphins need a OLB, Merriman could potentially be in the trade as well.
I personally think that would be an amazing deal and great to draft Toby Gerhart or Anthony Dixon. Spend 1st two picks on a CB and NT, to me that would be a home run draft
- Chris said... Apr 13, 2010, 9:03:00 PM
i meant "Trade with Buffalo is NOT going to happen"
Because we have been a pretty darn good job of drafting over the years we are in a position to take the best player available for our two biggest needs RB & DT/DE. Yes we do have guys like Vaughn and Cesaire, and Bingham among others but they can easily be replaced with the exception of Vaughn. IMO we can look RB at 28 or DT, and then DE at 40.
I think the Chargers like Mathews, Best at the RB spots and Cody and Price at DT.There is a good chance a couple of those kids will be there at 28.
Personally I'd like to see us wait on a RB until the 3rd round, and use our first two picks on the DL. Alualu at 28 ( I know it is a bit of a reach) bthis kid is just a full time non stop ball carrier attacker. He is the player we have been looking for on that line that just goes out a wreaks havoc on teams. All the good defensive teams have a guy like this on their line. Freeney, Nogta, Dumervil(OLB), Davis, etc.
I also think since AJ doesn't mind reaching a bit he would pick a kid like Linval Joseph DT from East Carolina. 6-5 330, he is moving up the boards fast. I think they have concerns with Cody. Joseph is a freak and would be huge at NT for us.
RB can be taken care of in the 3rd with a guy like Ben Tate from Auburn. JMO.
I just want them to load up that defense and get in on a par with the offense and maybe, just maybe we can not just climb the mountain but make it to the top finally.

Beautiful blocks JanRN, that is a lovely piece of rose fabric and you FC is spot on.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Beautiful blocks JanRN, that is a lovely piece of rose fabric and you FC is spot on.
What a great kickoff to another week.
JanieW...your EF has such beautiful curves...boys must all like her. And it doesn't look like the D&D's y corners even fazed you.
Anael...your blocks are also well done. I don't see any puckers and the colors works together great.
Mirabelle...your blocks take my breath away. I LOVE your fabric choices. They make the pattern sing!
QNSue...you really dressed up the D&D block...to have an actual doe! EF has a great story. Just add sashing and watch her take the show.
DDamsel...you did the one being grumbled about the most first and nailed it. Well done.
JanRN...love the fussy cutting on the EF. What a beautiful frame for the rose. Preservance paid off.
I've only gotten D&D 3/4 done for the week but it did get 3 quilt tops bordered and off the my friend to LAQ. My deadlines for birthday, anniversary, and wedding were getting too close to procrastinate any longer. Today there is some catch up in the garden and laundry so I'll make no promises. Need to put sashing on the 15 for show and tell next week too.
GGal .... woohoo!!! you've been motoring! ... bet that feels good to see them off to the LAQ!!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
What beautiful blocks yinz have made! I thought they were both hard even though Elsie's Favorite looked so easy.
Just back from spending all day in ER with my mother (she fell Wed am). Still waiting results of MRI on hip; all x-rays negative (thank God) but they gave her IV morphine and she is zonked out. Sent me home so I'm decompressing looking at all your beautiful work.
I thank you for all the compliments on my block--keeps me motivated to stay with them.
Imagine all the people living life in peace...(John Lennon 1940-1980)
{{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you JanRN
... you need these more than we need any compliments about our blocks!
Decompress a little now ... and then try to get yourself a good night's sleep!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Hey Ya'll: I'm so busy this week! I'm determined ta finish my DGS's quilt (I'm putting the binding on now) & I have another cousin in town. They are coming' ta town ta see our DGM. She lives with my DM. The one that is in town this week is the brother of the one that came last month. I'm so glad ta see 'em. Yesterday I got ta babysit my DGS. That was a lot of fun! Is there anything better than Grand-babies?
Jan - I'm praying for your DM. I'm so sorry. Do ya have any hand work ta do in the hospital while sitting with her? It was what saved me. God be with you!
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
JanRN sending prayers and good thoughts your way, hope your DM recovers soon
Everyone, all your blocks are beautiful this week, as always. I got stumped on D&D, then had it half done, then saw I had put the wrong color in the wrong place. Don't know what Elsie's Favorite will have in store for me. So, I'm getting a little behind. To be honest though, the weather here has been gorgeous and I've been choosing to be outside instead of in the sewing room. But I will get back to it, you all inspire me so much! JanRN, I do hope your Mom gets well soon. I know what it's like, I've been there. Take care.
Jan, you are in my thoughts and prayers! Hang in there girl!
I have these blocks cut out and started sewing late last night. Decided late in the evening is NOT the time to do these! LOL Will try again today!
Termi ... Isn't that annoying when you notice the wrong colour show up! It must be the block, as I did the same, and then had to rrrrrrrrripit!
JeanieG ... Oh.So.True! Not blocks to do when one is tired ... I know oh so well! Granted when I put the wrong fabric on, it had nothing to do with being tired ... just "stoopidity" on my part!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!

The Arsenal.com Player of the Season is Cesc Fabregas. The midfielder deservedly polled 33.26 per cent of vote following his wonderful campaign for club and country. Editor Richard Clarke reflects on the increasing influence of the young Spaniard.
You didn't really think it would be anybody else did you? One in three voters put their online X in the box next to name of Cesc Fabregas and you suspect the other two will have thought about it.
Two seasons ago, the boy became a man. But during the campaign just gone, the man became a force.
Plenty of players have shown the youthful potential to become a footballing megastar - few have done it. Fabregas is not there yet but the trajectory of his career keeps going up and up while the rate of ascent just gets faster.
It is not going too far to suggest his individual display at the San Siro in March was one of the best ever in an Arsenal shirt. Remember this was a Milan side who had dominated Europe over the past five years and had proved their mettle a fortnight earlier with a 0-0 draw at Emirates Stadium. Yet Fabregas and Mathieu Flamini overwhelmed, overran (and perhaps ran over) a midfield of world renown. Milan were so impressed with Arsenal's display that night they signed Flamini at the end of the season. Thankfully Fabregas' heart remains in North London.
The Spaniard struck the opening goal that night and his scoring abilities returned with a vengeance last season. He hit 11 in the opening three months of the season including a run of six in successive games.
Arsène Wenger has said goal-scoring is "a disease" Fabregas contracted early in his career and he would never really be cured. However, handy knack though it is, goals do not define his game. In the previous campaign the Spaniard did not hit the net between August and April yet it hardly hampered his form. Goals catch the eye and grab the headlines but the football of Cesc Fabregas has many more facets than that.
For a start he has been the top of the Premier League 'assists table' for the past two seasons. Last term, Arsenal scored 74 goals. Fabregas hit seven himself and directly contributed to another 19. Although not statistically provable, it is highly likely that he played a role in at least 11 more goals. If we can make that assumption, then we can say Fabregas contributed to half the Premier League goals Arsenal scored last season. That's some feat - but it's still not his main job.
In fact Fabregas' primary function is to control the tempo of Wenger's Arsenal. The Frenchman asks his side to play a pacy passing game and the 21-year-old is the metronome. To fulfil this role you need all-round abilities - passing, tackling, vision and tenacity.
Having been privileged enough to see Fabregas' debut in the Reserves, I can confirm those qualities have always been apparent. The only difference is the level at which he is operating these days.
For Arsenal, he is now the principal corner-taker on both flanks and takes almost all of the long-range free-kicks.
He also elbowed his way in to the Spanish side during their success Euro 2008 campaign and his shoot-out winning penalty in the Quarter-Final against Italy illustrated the amount of responsibility resting on his relatively young shoulders.
Of course there were many factors behind the success of the previously underachieving Spain this summer. But, along with Fernando Torres, Fabregas is leading a new, different generation, one that has already achieved success at a young age and is now cauterised against the white heat of international competition.
Something similar is needed at Arsenal next season if he wants to match international honours with Club ones. Everyone knows Wenger's side is young, developing and, on the basis of last season's table, closing in on Manchester United and Chelsea. However their points tally still left them third.
With Henry gone, Fabregas became the player to look to last season and he delivered. Yet now his job has gone beyond even that. He may not be captain but Fabregas will be charged with bringing out the best in himself and those around him next season. It is a difficult trick to pull off because as the pivotal player in the side he'll be targeted for special attention.
But all the evidence of his career so far suggests he'll be more than able to cope.

Sick Kids Home from School
This "sick" season is a tough one. I'm seeing so many kids who are home from school with fevers, coughs and a variety of illnesses. Although it is never fun to be home with a sick child, especially as we enter the holiday season, parents and children can both try to make "lemonade out of lemons".
When a child is sick they often just don't feel like eating (we are the same way right?), but they may like some "comfort" foods. I remember being a little girl and being sick and my mother always made us stewed chicken and noodles. We also got to eat tapioca pudding and jello. But half of the fun was making the pudding and jello.
So, while I was talking to a mother with 3 year old twins who were both sick, and I suggested jello and popsicles to help her feverish children. I asked her if she had ever made jello with the twins, and she loved the idea of going to buy a box of jello and then having the twins get to watch the liquid turn into a gel. Jello is still somewhat of an early science experiment. The pre-made jello cups are convenient, but cooking with a child is a great way to spend some "sick" time. I am sure jello still has the jiggler recipe as well, and it is always fun for your preschool or early elementary school aged child to make cut out jello shapes.
Popsicles are also soothing for a child's sore and scratchy throat, and what about making homemade popsicles. They sell the molds everywhere and you can make all sorts of crazy flavors as well. Again, a bit of fun before a much needed nap and then popsicles are ready for "sick dinner". No rules for meals when you are sick!
Last activity for those at home children, slice and bake cookies. Even a sick child can often be tempted to eat a warm sugar cookie or gooey chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven. Decorating cookies is another fun activity and doesn't take much preparation either. Sprinkles go a long way to distract and entertain a child who is feeling under the weather.
I wish I could twitch my nose and put an end to the sick season before it even started, but I must say, besides all of the illness it is my favorite time of year. Cold nights, warm fires, changing leaves, sweaters and coats are all delightful. The only problem is that viruses love this weather too.

Renewed World Business Class
12 September 2013 | Together with Dutch top designer Hella Jongerius we have fully renovated our KLM World Business Class.
Comfort and design
Starting this summer you can enjoy a brand new interior and more comfort in Business Class on our intercontinental KLM flights.
Hella Jongerius took on developing the new stylish but cosy top Dutch design and more personal space, to make you feel truly at home.
In the new, fully horizontally adjustable seats in a palette of colours you'll dream away - from departure to arrival.
With the cooperation with Hella Jongerius, KLM emphasizes her pride of her Dutch heritage and international allure.
Innovative and sustainable
Sustainability is always at the core of KLM's principles. And so, the new design of World Business Class is, besides innovative, also sustainable. Hella Jongerius has found some original solutions: in the tapestry of recycled wool, former KLM stewardess uniforms have been used as well.
The old carpet has been recycled, a practice we have had for years.
The first KLM aircraft with the brand new interior including the new full-flat seat has been in use since July 2013. In total, 22 Boeing 747s will be converted up to April 2014. After that date, the new World Business Class will also be introduced on 15 Boeing 777-200s.

Recall -- Firm Press Release
FDA posts press releases and other notices of recalls and market withdrawals from the firms involved as a service to consumers, the media, and other interested parties. FDA does not endorse either the product or the company.
Hospira Issues a Voluntary Nationwide Recall of One Lot of 0.25% Marcaine™ (Bupivacaine HCL Injection, USP), 75mg/30ml, Single-Dose - Preservative Free Vial Due to Presence of Particulate Matter
(866) 891-1984
(224) 212-2357
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - LAKE FOREST, Ill., - Oct. 18, 2013 - Hospira, Inc. (NYSE: HSP), announced today it will initiate a voluntary nationwide recall to the user level for one lot of 0.25% Marcaine™ (Bupivacaine HCl Injection, USP), 75 mg/30 mL, Single-dose Vial – Preservative Free (NDC 0409-1559-30), Lot 25-220-DD. The recall is due to a confirmed customer report of discolored solution with visible particles inside the glass vial as well as embedded in the glass. The embedded particulate was identified as iron oxide measuring approximately 3mm in diameter. To date, Hospira has not received reports of any adverse events associated with this issue for this lot. Hospira has attributed the embedded particulate to a supplier's glass defect. As a result of this issue we are working with our supplier on implementing corrective and preventive actions.
If the particulate goes undetected and solution is administered, the particle may potentially block the infusion of the solution to the patient, resulting in a delay in therapy. Iron particulate may put a patient at risk from MRI (strong magnetic field exposure) as metal particulate, could potentially dislodge and be pulled through tissue causing inflammation and tissue trauma. The administration of an injectable with the presence of foreign particulates may potentially cause thrombophlebitis, bacteremia, sepsis, and/or endocarditis and death may result. Signs and symptoms could include redness, pain, swelling at the site, fever, shortness of breath, tachycardia, nausea, and vomiting.
Marcaine is packaged 10 units per carton/100 units per case in glass fliptop vials. The impacted lot of Marcaine was distributed August 2013 through October 2013 to wholesalers/distributors, hospitals and pharmacies.
Anyone with an existing inventory should immediately stop use and quarantine any affected product and return the product to Stericycle. For additional assistance, call Stericycle at 1-866-891-1984 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., ET, Monday through Friday.
