Thread: Bugs, Bugs, I hate bugs!!!
I never saw an earwig until this spring when we were on vacation in California. I saw one on the desk and thought it was a damn scorpion. The concierge said it was an earwig. Earwig, scorpion. What the heck is the difference? I say bomb the durn things.

I buy the bug killer granules in a bag from the hardware store and spread it all around the outside perimeter and foundation of my home. It's a granule-type pesticide that kills all kinds of bugs from ants to earwigs. I apply it with a hand-held rotary spreader in the early spring and near the end of June/early July to ward off the bugs. Best to wear gloves and a face mask, long pants and sleeves if you can because it's poison and not meant to be breathed in by people or animals.
I've seen the big black ants (carpender ants) and a few earwigs already and it reminds me to spread the pesticide again outside. Both of these bugs like humid weather, wet or rotting wood and dark places where they can hide.
I would treat my entire lawn with the pesticide if I could afford it but as it is, I go around the house a couple times and spread it out to 3 feet from the foundation. I can't sleep at night if there is a bug infestation. I would do almost anything to be rid of bugs or mice.Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements07-18-2009, 06:01 PM #19

I'd like to find something natural that works that will not harm my animals or well. Anyone know of any on the market?07-18-2009, 09:40 PM #20
Ortho Home Defense Max works pretty well, not sure about on earwigs though. It is labeled for earwigs. Spectracide Bug Stop is also labeled for earwigs indoors and outdoors but my observation is that it is possibly more irritating to the lungs than the Ortho. The pre-mixed Spectracide is much less expensive than the Ortho at Wal-mart. You may need more than one application. I looked on a bottle of Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer For Soil and Turf but it isn't labeled for use on plants for earwigs. I guess they are not really plant pests.

9 Vintage Basketball Sneakers
Few things get twenty and thirty-somethings more fired up about their youth than sports and fashion. This affinity explains the recent spike in interest in the throwback jersey and shoe, and nowhere is that more clear than in the realm of basketball. It seems as though many sneaker aficionados are more interested in reissues from […]
Dwyane Wade Plays 1 on 1 With Fake Billionaire
Total Pro Sports – This matchup had been brewing for quite some time now, and finally it happened. Dwyane Wade versus fake billionaire Charles McGalls. This all seems confusing to me, but from what I understand, this is part of a converse promotional gig. I may be wrong about that, but what I do know is D Wade probably […]

I was pleasantly surprised with how big the bottle was. The aloe scent is fabulous and not overpowering. With most toners you have to use the cotton swab to apply it but with this product you don't need anything. I spray it all over my face after washing it and it feels so refreshing. It absorbs quickly and you can follow with a moisturizer very soon after applying it. I highly recommend it.5

Good news for QNS. Thanks fir the tea and cookies!
Praying Jeanie gets a similar report next week and that everything can be dried out.
All the spring flowers are so pretty. They are lasting so much longer this spring since it's so cool here. We're starting to see green leaves on the trees although it will be another week or two before the canopy is full.
Mirabelle...take the disbelief as a compliment. Those poor ladies are comparing what you do on your DSM to a LA! They are limiting themselves by their attitude and always paying someone else to finish their quilts. I'm assuming they piece, right?
carrie...you BB quilt really turned out great. I like the way that you varied the stitching too.
DD...way to go with the machine. It pays to be handy with tools in the toolbox.
Anael...such a precious picture. You would never know how tiny Isa once was. Thanks for posting.
QuiltE....have fun with your new machine. Reason and emotion mixed and I did come home yesterday with the 8200. It's bigger than the hole for my sewing table so it's currently setting on top but it doesn't affect how it sews. It's so quiet and with the accufeed foot on, keeping a straight seam is so easy. What actually sold me was when she put on the FMQ foot and I could make reasonably round loops. Mine will never be as nice as Mirabelle's but I will no longer hesitate to work with it more. Carrie I have a couple feet that didn't come with my machine that I would like to give you. The FMQ bobbin holder, the quarter inch foot, the FMQ foot and I also have a single hole plate but I don't know if it fits the 6600. Check with your dealer about it and let me know. Today I really should work outside but I know it won't keep me from a little stitching. Tomorrow a few of us from class are going to Arthur, IL for a quilt show. It's in Amish country so their will be many interesting things to see besides quilts!

Angel Haze f/ Sia "Battle Cry"
Sia is one of the vocalists on MMLP2 that stole a song with her chorus on "Beautiful Pain". She puts forth a similar effort on Angel Haze's "Battle Cry", of which the video premieres today above. This is one of Angel's deeper songs and it gets a cinematic video to match. Another nice one to peep today.

Kristin's Bio
I have been a caregiver for approximately 7 years for two boys from the time they were born until they reached grade school age and I was relocated out of state for my husband's job. The majority of my work history is as a veterinary technician so I am very comfortable around pets as well.
The younger of the two boys I cared for had severe asthma and allergies so I am very comfortable with providing nebulizer treatments as well as giving medications. As of August 2013 I will be fully certified in CPR and First Aid.
One philosophy I have that I try my best to stick to is that I would much rather stay busy with activities and games than allow children to just watch television. Of course I will adapt to whatever rules are set by the parents so not to confuse the kids.
My husband and I do not have any children of our own presently, however we do keep busy with our several pets. I would enjoy a family of my own one day and believe that being a nanny can help hone my parenting skills.
Age Specific Experience
5 years of paid child care experience with:
- First year
- Toddlers (1 to 3 years)
- Preschooler (3 to 5 years)
- Grade School (6 to 11 years)

" Success is never final, but failure can be " B.P.
I'll put it this way. . .if Ebron is there at 11, I doubt any teams will "swoop-in" (trade up) and take Ebron before we pick. He just doesn't strike me as a Giants' type of player, and I doubt McAdoo will have any sway on draft day.
About the only player I could see a team leapfrogging us for is Lewan. Our needs at OLine are glaring, and he's prototypical Giants' material. Maybe Donald, but with Fewell, Giants' DT's seem to be getting bigger. . .not smaller.

This is a DeSantis Insider. Got it off Amazon for about $25. Has a very sturdy clip to hold it onto your pants and is very well made. Still need to break it in, as the LCP is a tight fit right now. Don't know if/when I'll use it, but I have in case I need it.
If you use it let us know how it works. Only had one DeSantis leather holster so far. It was a really tight fit at first also.
To me it looks like an unfinished holster.
It has not been formed fit to the gun and it has not had the edges burnished.
To form fit a holster first make sure your gun is empty then wrap it in a plastic bag or plastic rap.
Dampen your holster with water or rubbing alcohol. Put your gun in the holster and take something like a kitchen table knife with a nice rounded handle and used round handle and work all the leather down in all the nooks and crannies of the gun.
With the leather still damp you can burnish all the edges of the edge of the holster that is round them down and over.
There should be some good videos on YouTube on how to do it.

When I ordered my Stoner Holsters I also ordered some Holster Dressing which I applied inside and out to help soften the leather. Really helped to "break in" the holster and I apply often to keep the leather conditioned. Always apply a Good leather conditioner to your holsters when in storage and more often when in use. Some conditioners will darken the leather.
Rich, that is a Handsome Holster, very nice job.
I'm pretty sure the holster is finished just as they wanted it. First is a type of leather that comes finished just as you see it. It does not appear to be high quality vegetable tanned leather. It is more like upholstery type leather. There is no wet molding of any type done to the holster. The molding is not done so that that same pattern can be used for many different guns. I would suspect that same holster might be used for as many as 5-10 different guns, and if you alter the sewing pattern some it could be used for many more. I'm not sure even if it was wet molded, that it would take or hold much molding due to the relatively low quality of leather.
Without molding the holster will not have any or much retention. Stick the gun in it and hold it upside down and see if it falls out. Unload the gun first! Once it breaks in some more, I'm sure it will not hold the gun in the holster.
If you do try to wet mold it, it will need to be sealed afterwards. If you don't or can't seal it, I would suggest not even trying to wet mold it. A good sealer helps the holster maintain its shape after wet molding. With that type of leather I'm not sure you will be able to burnish the edges very much. You could buy some Edge Kote or Dura Edge from Tandy Leather (if one is near you) and use that on the edges. They can get messy if not careful.
With this holster adding a leather conditioner probably won't hurt it as there is no wet molding on it. However, for anyone with a quality vegetable tanned leather holster, don't add conditioners!!!!! Most conditioners say they soften the leather. Just read the label and you will see. Leather softeners will make a holster lose its molding and/or retention over the years. Use Renaissance Wax on holsters and you can get a small jar of it at Midway USA or google for it. Neutral shoe polish can be used also on the outside too. Use either one very sparingly, let dry and then buff with soft cotton rag
Personally, I would not do anything to it. You got a $25 holster, so take that for what it is worth. If it works for you, then carry it and be happy. If it does not work out for you, I might suggest spending a few more dollars some where to get a much better holster. Also look at getting a holster with some forward cant and especially if it is a little bigger gun. Cant will make it a little easier to conceal and less printing.
Yeah, you're right on there lws380. The directions said to put the gun in a thin sock and stick it in the holster overnight, to stretch out the leather a little. I played around with wearing it in different positions and found I don't like it. Going back to Amazon.
Hmm, just discovered the Sticky and Remora IWB holsters. I have a DeSantis Superfly, which I think will work the same way. Gonna try it later on.

Dinner was great, breakfast was great, the room is a little small, but fine. Things in the room are out dated, but that is part of the inn. The shared jacuzzi never heated up, that was disappointing, but the innkeepers made it up to us.
3.6 on February 22, 2015
We had a great experience. The breakfasts were ok but the dinners were Great! It was so much better to be able to just go downstairs for dinner. The inn is recently under new management and they apparently have kept the existing staff on. Whatever they are doing it is working. The inn is wonderful and historic. The dinners are truly outstanding and the service is great as well. We will go here again and I would recommend this inn to anyone m

Our stay was perfect, the staff was very friendly...we went out to dinner and asked for a recommendation, even though their restaurant was on site..there was no pressure to for us to eat there and the place they recommended was excellent...very warm and cozy...cant wait to go back

Arrived on a beautiful fall afternoon and the owner surprised us with a special room with even a jacuzzi. Then we had what they call in France an apero in the bar. Talked about the great world issues and where to have to go for dinner. And we learned about sunny eggs at breakfast. The owners advice to visit on our way to Stockbridge (MA) the country farm in Weston (VT) and to have a lunch at Grafton was worthwile. Thanks. Fred an Anneke. Netherlands Fred and Anneke.

Our daughter was in Vermont on location for a movie she was in - Limbus. We were very happy with everything at the Inn. As we were the only guests for 8 nights, except for another couple there for two nights, we were treated like royalty! The breakfasts were all delicious, especially the pancakes. Laurence was our inn keeper, cook and sight seeing guide. We would stay there again!

My husband and I chose the Inn to host our wedding, and reserved the entire Inn for the weekend (a courtesy extended by the Inn)- so all of our friends and family got to experience this magical place with us. The food, setting, service, and everything was just perfect! We all felt like celebrities all weekend long. I was so in love with our King Luxury Suite that we booked an additional night after the wedding to relish it in peace. Laurence, the innkeeper, was so wonderful- and I can't say enough about Neil, the most attentive staff member (after Laurence of course!). We will absolutely be going back to celebrate our anniversary there, and I think our friends and family will be going back to visit as well.

We stayed at Echo Lake Inn for a two-day getaway to snowboard Okemo in late February. We had wonderful service when we checked in and at breakfast the next day. The rooms were cozy and kept clean. It was the perfect distance from the town of Ludlow and Okemo. The room rates were also reasonable compared to other inns in the area.
3.6 on January 03, 2012
This is a lovely, quaint bed and breakfast. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is less than a 10 minute drive to either the Jackson Gore or South Face entrances to Okemo. I would recommend this place.

The Echo Lake Inn and its propriator, Laurence Jeffrey, are terrific. The Inn and the service are reminiscent of the 1900's when the Inn was a home away from home. Laurence makes his Echo Lake Inn feel that same way. We loved our stay there and will always go there when in the Ludlow, Vermont area whether for a day or a month.
3.2 on March 25, 2011
Inn was a bit in need of updating and some general TLC. Location is good, and service was good too. Breakfast was tasty and in this way, the room rate was worth it. I wouldn't return because I enjoy slightly nicer accommodations and not a run-down inn trying to sell itself as "old-style charm". No real problems, but it's not a pampering kind of place either.
3.8 on November 11, 2010
My fiance and I stayed at the Echo Lake Inn while looking for possible wedding venues. Although the Echo Lake Inn is set in a beautiful location, we were most impressed with the service we received. The staff were incredibly friendly. Of course, that may have been tied to our reason for being there, but I saw other customers being treated the same way. I would like to go back someday under more relaxed circumstances! PS - take the canoe out on the lake! You won't regret it!
4.0 on January 30, 2010
Owner is involved and engaging. Rooms were quiet. Food excellent. Tranquil public rooms. OUTSTANDING WI-FI. And a jacuzzi. What's not to like?

Juve prepare for clear-out
JUVENTUS have drawn up plans to sell seven of their biggest names if they are relegated to Serie B for their part in the Italian match-fixing scandal.
Club directors have resigned themselves to offloading the players, who all featured for Italy or France in Sunday's World Cup final in Berlin.
Faced with a massive drop in income, the Serie A champions have reluctantly conceded they will have to sell Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, winger Mauro Camoranesi and defender Gianluca Zambrotta.
France internationals Patrick Vieira, Lilian Thuram and David Trezeguet would also be put up for sale. A Juventus spokesman said: "The club will do what it has to do to ensure it's competitive, whatever the decision of the sporting tribunal in Rome."
Along with AC Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina, Juventus are accused of trying to influence the appointment and conduct of referees during their Serie A triumphs in 2004-05 and 2005-06.

Your phone rings and caller ID shows an 876 area code. While it appears the call is coming from the US, be cautious with this Jamaican area code. If you do not have friends, relatives, or business associates in Jamaica, there is probably a scammer on the other end of line.
"Anyone receiving an unexpected call from area code 876 should be on high alert," said James Boffetti, New Hampshire senior assistant attorney general. "There is a high likelihood that these calls are from scam artists. Unfortunately, these scammers are very persistent and in some cases verbally abusive, threatening to harm victims if they do not send money."

Prom 50: Bach - Goldberg Variations
Primary Content
Grammy Award-winning pianist Sir András Schiff is a titan of the keyboard, bringing his distinctive blend of clarity and authority to repertoire from Bach to Bartók.
Tonight he continues his long association with Bach's music in a performance of the composer's 'Goldberg' Variations – a monumental work composed, according to its title-page, 'for the refreshment of the spirits'.
The resulting Aria and variations are a compositional wonder, a sequence of musical miniatures unequalled in all Bach's output.

April 23 2010
Uncovered was without doubt our most loved CD of 2009… so we're back with even more amazingly unique, cool cover versions for Volume 2!
Uncovered breathes new life into tracks that you've already grown to love once before. A double CD of intelligent re-workings of hits, both young and old, by artists from across the musical spectrum. From classical to dance, from indie-rock to chilled out acoustic; each cover steers the original into uncharted territory, giving you new reasons to enjoy favourites from MGMT, Marvin Gaye, Madonna, Portishead, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Kanye West, Dire Straits, Amy Winehouse, Australian Crawl, Leonard Cohen, Beyonce and SO many more….
Some of the tracks are simple, brilliant modern updates of classic tracks such as "You've Got The Love" – a cover of The Source made famous by Florence + The Machine… Florence also makes a second appearance with a stripped back re-work of Robert Palmer's "Addicted To Love." Further classic tracks receive a modern edge including Angus & Julia Stone's beautiful acoustic take on the Grease classic "You're the One That I Want"; the Womack & Womack classic "Teardrops" covered by one of the hottest new artists to emerge in 2009 The xx, and not –to-be-missed is Angie Hart's heart-wrenching cover of the Australian Crawl classic "Reckless" and Bertie Blackman's rework of Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight".
More recent hits also get a brilliant once over, with the current chart smash cover of Rihanna's "Don't Stop The Music" courtesy of Jamie Cullum, Ben Lee takes on MGMT "Kids", Lisa Mitchell covers Dire Straits "Romeo + Juliet", Micky Green rehashes Regurgitator's "Song Formerly Known As", KRAM provides an unexpected rework of Portishead "Glory Box", and Lily Allen's cheeky interpretation of Britney's "Womanizer" proves utterly irresistible!
This fantastic release is out today grab it on iTunes now!

Art gives summer cultureBRIDGET JONES
Summer does funny stuff to, well pretty much everything. People think cooking should only be done on a BBQ; that it's perfectly acceptable to survive on only beer, chips and dip (when the BBQ isn't cranking); jandals are appropriate footwear for all occasions and sand is ok, no matter which tiny crevasse it finds itself in.
Summer does something funny to art as well. Without the all-too familiar Auckland grey skies looming over us, we want to be outside. But it doesn't mean we want to be less interested or "cultured". Maybe that's why, then, this summer has seen a couple of outdoors-y, art installations pop up around town.
Close to home, you've got Summer of Sculpture at Silo Park. Some move, some make you think, some surprise you, but all of these installations add an extra layer to Wynyard Quarter that is something special (not that we need another excuse to head down that way). Nestled amongst concrete silos, the industrial gantry or the green public spaces, once again Wynyard Quarter is being used for more than just a bunch of cafes and bars.
Or maybe you want to experience that thing that helped Waiheke Island get a spot on the New York Times list of the "Top 46 Places To Go in 2013". Headland Sculpture on the Gulf is part art exhibition, part coastal walk. Over a 2.5km stroll, art lovers can see the work of 30 artists dotted around the coast, take in the sites of Waiheke's coast and enjoy a drink, nibble on something tasty and watch some live music.
Whether it's around the corner, or as part of a day trip, it's nice to think Aucklanders don't have to think traditionally about where they get their art-fix.
Of course we have incredible art galleries, some of which have really interesting stuff going on at the moment, but suggesting a trip to the water or on a boat sure sounds like a fun way to spend a day.
And it while the kids are back at school now, there are still those weekends to contend with, where being cooped up inside seems like a crime. Perhaps a little day out, getting out of the house and learning to enjoy and appreciate art (without staring at a painting) is a good option to plant those seeds inside a little future art lovers mind.

Summer is on the way.
Yes, summer really is coming! In the middle of this winter that is hard for most of us to grasp. Just look at the picture of the couple enjoying the peace and quiet of the riverside in Summer. This could be you! Close your eyes, take a deep breath and I will bet you can hear the water softly bubbling as it flows by and feel the soft summer breeze gentling waving the aspen leaves. It is time to make plans to join us for a visit to the mountains. We look forward to welcoming you back or if this is your first visit to us we are delighted to have you come share our mountains. Please call us and we will help with reservations whenever you want to come.
Winter is here!Like much of the country Winter has taken a firm grip on the Estes Park valley. Here is a picture of Fall River looking West from our covered bridge. No longer the raging flood torrent of mid September, it is now a placid bubbling stream under a blanket of snow. Beautiful scenes in all directions. After several days of unusually cold temperatures our warming trend starts today. Bright sunlight will turn the snow covered landscape into scenes of shimmering diamonds. It's not too late to come join us for this weekend. Next weekend, Valentines weekend is filling fast but we have a few spaces left! Remember to come up US 34 through Loveland or Colorado 7 from Lyons to Estes Park. Don't use US 36 for the next few weeks as the contractors are doing permanent repairs of the flood damage which necessitates some lengthy delays. Come and enjoy our mountains with us.
As our community continues to recover from the devastating flood, we are daily treated to views of our majestic environment. Thanks to our friend Dave Rusk for this picture of Deer Mountain behind our lodge. Even as we work to repair damaged roads, structures, and lives in our community we look up and out and see the evidence of much beauty. This strengthens our resolve to bring back our Town to its more normal condition so that you, our guests, may enjoy it as we do. And we are making progress in the clean up. Our Town is open and ready have you come and enjoy! Yes, the drive to Estes Park is a bit longer--you need to go through Boulder, up CO 119 to Nederland, then CO 72 up through Ward to CO 7 and then on to Estes Park. It is a beautiful drive in the crisp Fall weather, I made it yesterday. We continue to be grateful for all the help we are receiving from other communities. Last evening I talked with a Larimer County official who is helping assess the damage to structures and
Mountain StrongFriends, While it is true that parts of Estes Park and northern Colorado were severely damaged by the recent flood, other parts were undamaged or the damage is being rapidly repaired. Here is what our front lawn looks like right now! Our hearts and prayers go out to those whose lives and businesses have been upended by the flood and we are doing all that we can to help. You can help by visiting our community and supporting all of us as we move forward. Fall is here, trees are turning yellow, elk are bugling, and the crisp days of Fall are here to be enjoyed. Our lodge is open and ready for you to visit. Yes the drive up here is a little longer until a temporary road up US 34 or 36 can be completed but the drive up the Peak to Peak highway (I-70 west to 119 then to Nederland, then 72 to 7 and 7 to Estes Park) is especially beautiful this time of year. So come, enjoy a few days in our community and help us celebrate both the Fall season and a community that is MOUNTAIN STRONG.
Aftermath of the flood at Castle Mountain LodgeWe appreciate all the calls (our phone line is now back in service) and emails with your support and prayers. We are making progress in cleaning up the office/lobby--the cabins are all fine and awaiting your next visit. Above is a picture of the east end of our property. The large pipe that you see is the insulated sewer line as it exits our property and the small green pipe is our gas service. As you can see they have taken a pounding but are still intact and serving our property. We move on with our clean up of the office/library area (flooded with ground water) and some outdoor cleanup. Someone's footbridge came to rest on the pipe but I don't suppose they want it back. We are so very grateful for the limited damage and outpouring of support. Bless you all and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Tickets for the Grand Prix of Baltimore go on sale May 28 through http://www.RaceOnBaltimore.com and Ticketmaster outlets.
Race On and Andretti Sports Marketing will promote and operate the Grand Prix of Baltimore scheduled for Aug. 31-Sept. 2. The race contract was approved by a vote of the Baltimore City Board of Estimates May 16 and announced at a news conference in Baltimore.
"We're working under an aggressive timeline, but we're very pleased with the rapid progress being made on the logistical and business fronts," Grant said. "As the principal investors in the Grand Prix of Baltimore, Greg O'Neill and I are honored to support a world-class event for a world-class city."
Andretti Sports Marketing will provide all operations, sales, marketing, logistics and publicity efforts for Race On.
"We have an experienced and professional team in place that can build the Grand Prix of Baltimore into a premier sporting event," said Michael Andretti, CEO of Andretti Sports Marketing. "We've already seen tremendous interest in the event from fans and sponsors and the backing of strong local business leaders at Race On. We're all committed to make this a great event to benefit the city of Baltimore."

Andretti said last year's successful inaugural race made it attractive to Andretti Sports Marketing.
"Being a participant and seeing what great response it had from the community and how many people were out there, and the track itself, the whole setting, it was just a great event," he said. "When we got the call from JP Grant, asking if we would get involved, we were asking 'Well, what's going on?'
"He said, 'Well, there might not be a race. And we're like, whoa, whoa, it's too important to our series to lose an event like that. So we decided to step in and have a look at it. And the more we dug into it, the more due diligence we did, we thought we could come in and help make a difference, and that's why we're here. We feel that this event has huge potential to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest street race in the world."
Kevin Healy will be the Managing Director of the Grand Prix of Baltimore for Andretti Sports Marketing. Healy, a 30-year veteran of the airline industry, is also managing director of Milwaukee IndyFest.

25 Oct, 2013, 08:00 ET from Texas Children's Hospital
Texas Children's surgeon serves as 2013 Program Chair
HOUSTON, Oct. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Physicians and researchers from the Department of Surgery at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston will serve as faculty lecturers and moderators during the annual Section on Surgery Meeting for the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) held Oct. 25 through 27, in Orlando, Florida. Dr. Eugene Kim, pediatric surgeon at Texas Children's and assistant professor of surgery/pediatric surgery division at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), serves as the 2013 Program Chair for this meeting.

The Section on Surgery Meeting for the AAP will convene a national group of more than 200 pediatric surgeons, researchers, fellows, and residents. The conference will provide the opportunity for attendees to engage in symposiums and presentations on a wide variety of topics that relate to the complex surgical needs of pediatric patients. From groundbreaking clinical studies to the latest discoveries from the benchtop, the AAP Section on Surgery represents the cutting edge of pediatric surgical science in the country.
"I'm thrilled that the Department of Surgery at Texas Children's Hospital will have such great representation at such a prestigious national conference, underscoring our role as a preeminent program," said Dr. Charles D. Fraser Jr., surgeon-in-chief at Texas Children's and professor of surgery and pediatrics at BCM. "Looking at the wide array of presenters and topics of this year's meeting, it is evident that Dr. Kim has done an outstanding job in his role as the program chair bringing together national leaders in the field of pediatric surgery."

Colorado State vs Murray State 2012 NCAA Bracket Predictions
Colorado State vs Murray State 2012 NCAA Bracket Predictions: The Murray State Racers (30-1) of the Ohio Valley Conference was named the No. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament West Region and will play No. 11 seed Colorado State (20-11) of the Mountain West, Thursday at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Game time for the Racers and Rams is set for Noon ET and will be televised on CBS. The winner will advance to a Saturday game against the winner of No. 3 Marquette and No. 14 of BYU.
Odds makers at online sports book TopBet.com list the Racers as 5-chalk favorites versus the Rams with a 136 1/2 combined score (over/under) total. CSU backers are getting +195 College Basketball Odds on the off shore money line while the price of a SU wager on Murray State is -235 ($235 wager to win $100).
Murray State has enjoyed its finest basketball season in the history of the school. They set an OVC record winning streak of 23 straight and doubled a record start to a season. The Racers are the OVC regular season champion for the third straight time. The venue of the Yum Center in Louisville is supposed to be neutral however, with three schools from the Commonwealth playing there on Thursday, the basketball mad crowd is expected to be in rare form.
The Racers are a legit threat to any team they play. Colorado State will need to bring its best game if they play to win in Louisville. My Pick – Murray State -5.
No more bubble talk and bracket guessing now, as the 68 schools are set to play in the 2012 Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament. Now that March Madness is officially here, college sports handicapper Reno Gold will be making College Basketball Odds picks and predictions for the Big Dance all the way to the championship game.

New districts and a revised elections system that allows candidates of the same party to compete in the general election are two new dynamics affecting this year's elections for the state Legislature.
Here's a summary of races affecting the Inland Valley, San Bernardino area and High Desert:
State Senate
Bill Emmerson vs. Melissa Ruth O'Donnell
The contest to represent the 23rd Senate District is a competition between a Republican incumbent and a real estate agent making a challenge from the Democratic side.
Emmerson was first elected to the upper house in 2010 after representing a Redlands-based district in the Assembly. He has said that his priorities include giving tax incentives to businesses that hire new employees, streamlining environmental regulations and limiting state spending.
O'Donnell practices real estate in Highland. Her platform includes a call to create a judicial foreclosure process in California that would require court hearings. She wants legislation to help entrepreneurs open small businesses and that attracts manufacturers to the district.
The 23rd Senate District includes communities in Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino, Highland, Loma Linda, Mentone, Yucaipa, San Jacinto, Menifee, Lakeview, Lytle Creek, Wrightwood, Phelan, Lake Arrowhead, Running Springs and Big Bear City.
State Assembly
John Coffey vs. Tim Donnelly
The challenger, Coffey, is a Democrat and an educator who works with special needs students at Barstow Junior High School. His legislative proposals include consolidating California's numerous school districts to reduce administrative costs, creating a Bank of California and environmental protections.
Donnelly, a Republican, was first elected to the Assembly in 2010. As a proponent of Tea Party-style politics, his primary interests include limiting Sacramento's spending, deterring illegal immigration and supporting the 2nd Amendment. Aside from his legislative work, Donnelly has been in the news this year after he was caught with a loaded handgun at L.A./Ontario International Airport. He accepted a plea deal that included a three-year probation term. He said he carried the weapon for his personal protection after receiving death threats in response to his views on immigration.
The 33rd Assembly District includes the Lake Arrowhead and Victor Valley areas as well as desert territory and beyond to the Nevada state line and the Colorado River.
Mike Morrell vs. Russ Warner
Incumbent Republican Mike Morrell is competing with Russ Warner, a Democrat who owns a Rancho Cucamonga-based periodicals distribution business.
The competition for the 40th could be described as mudslinging affair in which the candidates have attacked the other's character and brought a family dispute into the public eye as they try to win in a district where neither Democrats nor Republicans hold a majority.
The squabbling started on Oct. 12 after a federal jury convicted inland medical marijuana provider Aaron Sandusky of violating federal drug laws. That day, Warner's campaign demanded Morrell donate a $2,500 campaign contribution from Sandusky to charity.
Sandusky gave his contribution back in 2003.
Warner followed that play by calling attention to a video in which Morrell made an off-hand remark saying California officials "should be shot" for being inefficient.
The Morrell camp then responded by announcing an endorsement from Warner's own sister. That, in turn, led to Warner's campaign launching a website called MikeMorrellExtreme.com and asserting that Morrell "takes a hard-line stance against women's rights."
The 40th Assembly District ranges from Rancho Cucamonga to the Cajon Pass area and down through San Bernardino and into Redlands.
Joe Baca Jr. vs. Cheryl Brown
California's new "top-two" primary system made it possible for the 47th Assembly District's race to boil down to a competition between two Democrats.
Brown is a former NAACP chapter leader and president to the company that publishes the Black Voice News. Baca Jr. is a high school teacher, Rialto councilman and former Assembly member.
The 47th district's seat is open because its current occupant, Democrat Wilmer Amina Carter, is termed out of the lower house.
Brown and Baca Jr. have both positioned themselves as moderate Democrats whose priorities are economic development, education and public safety. Both have also said they are open to reforming environmental laws to be more business friendly.
A key difference between the two candidates is the way they say their professional experience would influence the way they work, if elected. Brown has said her private sector experience will help her understand business' needs whereas Baca Jr. has said his time in government means he knows how Sacramento works.
The 47th Assembly District is centered around Rialto and also includes communities in Fontana, San Bernardino, Colton and Grand Terrace.

Teaching and Research
As a microbial geochemist, I study the role that microorganisms play in a wide range of geological and environmental processes. Of particular interest is a study of the interdependence between microbial ecology (community structure and density) and geochemical cycling - put another way we are investigating how changes in the local geochemical environment of a microbial community may shift which specific organisms dominate that community and how that microbial community affects the geochemical environment through their metabolism. We also study the role that metal sulfide molecular clusters play in the formation and dissolution of nanocrystalline and bulk metal sulfide minerals, a topic of importance for thinking about processes such as iron-sulfur transformations in early earth's oceans, ore deposit formation, and wetland processes as remediation strategies. Our research takes us both near and far, with projects in some of the bays of Lake Champlain, hydrothermal systems in Yellowstone National Park, sulfidic caves in Italy, a stratified glacial lake in N.Y. (Green Lake), and flooded mines in Butte, MT.
I teach undergraduate courses in earth materials and geochemistry, and graduate courses in advanced water chemistry and geomicrobiology. Undergraduate students have a great opportunity to work in our labs on cutting edge, interdisciplinary individual research projects with myself and some of our graduate students - for example, we recently brought one of our undergraduates into the field for research at the Frassassi caves in central Italy this past summer.

Re: random integer weirdness
I tried to evaluate the expression with j ranging from 0 to 20000 step of 1.
Something obviously periodic seems to be going on (just plot the sim data).
Since running this program takes for ever, I have prepared and (can email to
anyone interested) a flat text file with the output of Mark's program (the
"sim" data for j ranging from 0 to 20000 in steps of 1).
It is my understanding that the period of the rule 30-cellular automata RNG
(if any) used by MATHEMATICA has not been extensively studied. Could we use
the data geenrated to do so ?

Xopenex HFA
ADAM33 Gene May Be Tied to Allergic Asthma »
"NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - New research in mice and human lung tissue suggests soluble ADAM33 (sADAM33) may prompt airway remodeling and boost allergic airway inflammation, making it a possible therapeutic target.
As Dr. Hans Michael"...
Read the ADAM33 Gene May Be Tied to Allergic Asthma article »
Xopenex HFA
Mechanism Of Action
Activation of beta2-adrenergic receptors on airway smooth muscle leads to the activation of adenylate cyclase and to an increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic-3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP). The increase in cyclic AMP is associated with the activation of protein kinase A, which in turn, inhibits the phosphorylation of myosin and lowers intracellular ionic calcium concentrations, resulting in muscle relaxation. Levalbuterol relaxes the smooth muscles of all airways, from the trachea to the terminal bronchioles. Increased cyclic AMP concentrations are also associated with the inhibition of the release of mediators from mast cells in the airways. Levalbuterol acts as a functional antagonist to relax the airway irrespective of the spasmogen involved, thus protecting against all bronchoconstrictor challenges. While it is recognized that beta2-adrenergic receptors are the predominant receptors on bronchial smooth muscle, data indicate that there are beta-receptors in the human heart, 10% to 50% of which are beta2-adrenergic receptors. The precise function of these receptors has not been established [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. However, all beta-adrenergic agonist drugs can produce a significant cardiovascular effect in some patients, as measured by pulse rate, blood pressure, symptoms, and/or electrocardiographic changes.
A population pharmacokinetic model was developed using plasma concentrations of (R)albuterol obtained from 632 asthmatic patients aged 4 to 81 years in three large trials. For adolescent and adult patients 12 years and older, following 90 mcg dose of XOPENEX HFA, yielded mean peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC0-6) of approximately 199 pg/mL and 695 pg•h/mL, respectively, compared to approximately 238 pg/mL and 798 pg•h/mL, respectively, following 180 mcg dose of Racemic Albuterol HFA metered-dose inhaler. For pediatric patients from 4 to 11 years of age, following 90 mcg dose of XOPENEX HFA, yielded Cmax and AUC0-6 of approximately 163 pg/mL and 579 pg•h/mL, respectively, compared to approximately 238 pg/mL and 828 pg•h/mL, respectively, following 180 mcg dose of Racemic Albuterol HFA metered-dose inhaler.
These pharmacokinetic data indicate that mean exposure to (R)-albuterol was 13% to 16% less in adult and 30% to 32% less in pediatric patients given XOPENEX HFA as compared to those given a comparable dose of racemic albuterol. When compared to adult patients, pediatric patients given 90 mcg of levalbuterol have a 17% lower mean exposure to (R)-albuterol.
Metabolism and Elimination
Information available in the published literature suggests that the primary enzyme responsible for the metabolism of albuterol enantiomers in humans is SULT1A3 (sulfotransferase). When racemic albuterol was administered either intravenously or via inhalation after oral charcoal administration, there was a 3-to 4-fold difference in the area under the concentration-time curves between the (R)-and (S)-albuterol enantiomers, with (S)-albuterol concentrations being consistently higher. However, without charcoal pretreatment, after either oral or inhalation administration the differences were 8-to 24-fold, suggesting that (R)-albuterol is preferentially metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract, presumably by SULT1A3.
The primary route of elimination of albuterol enantiomers is through renal excretion (80% to 100%) of either the parent compound or the primary metabolite. Less than 20% of the drug is detected in the feces. Following intravenous administration of racemic albuterol, between 25% and 46% of the (R)-albuterol fraction of the dose was excreted as unchanged (R)-albuterol in the urine.
Special Populations
Hepatic Impairment
The effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of XOPENEX HFA has not been evaluated.
Renal Impairment
The effect of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of racemic albuterol was evaluated in 5 subjects with creatinine clearance of 7 to 53 mL/min, and the results were compared with those from healthy volunteers. Renal disease had no effect on the half-life, but there was a 67% decline in racemic albuterol clearance. Caution should be used when administering high doses of XOPENEX HFA to patients with renal impairment [see Use in Specific Populations].
Animal Toxicology And/Or Pharmacology
Propellant HFA-134a
In animals and humans, propellant HFA-134a was found to be rapidly absorbed and rapidly eliminated, with an elimination half-life of 3 to 27 minutes in animals and 5 to 7 minutes in humans. Time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax) and mean residence time are both extremely short, leading to a transient appearance of HFA-134a in the blood with no evidence of accumulation. Based on studies in animals, the propellant HFA-134a had no detectable toxicological activity at amounts less than 380 times the maximum human exposure based on comparisons of AUC values. The toxicological effects observed at these very high doses included ataxia, tremors, dyspnea, or salivation, similar to effects produced by the structurally-related chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used in metered-dose inhalers, that were extensively used in the past.
Clinical Studies
Bronchospasm Associated With Asthma
Adults and Adolescent Patients 12 Years of Age and Older
The efficacy and safety of XOPENEX HFA were established in two 8-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-and placebo-controlled trials in 748 adults and adolescents with asthma between the ages of 12 and 81 years. In these two trials, XOPENEX HFA (403 patients) was compared to an HFA-134a placebo MDI (166 patients), and the trials included a marketed albuterol HFA-134a MDI (179 patients) as an active control. Serial forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) measurements demonstrated that 90 mcg (2 inhalations) of XOPENEX HFA produced significantly greater improvement in FEV1 over the pretreatment value than placebo. The results from one of the trials are shown in Figure 1 as the mean percent change in FEV1 from test-day baseline at Day 1 (n=445) and Day 56 (n=387). The results from the second trial were similar.
Figure 1: Percent Change in
FEV1 from Test-Day Baseline in Adults and Adolescents Aged 12 to 81 Years at
Day 1 and Day 56
For XOPENEX HFA on Day 1, the median time to onset of a 15% increase in FEV1 ranged from 5.5 to 10.2 minutes and the median time to peak effect ranged from 76 to 78 minutes. In the responder population, on Day 1 the median duration of effect as measured by a 15% increase in FEV1 was 3 to 4 hours, with duration of effect in some patients of up to 6 hours.
Pediatric Patients 4 to 11 Years of Age
The efficacy and safety of XOPENEX HFA in children were established in a 4-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-and placebo-controlled trial in 150 pediatric patients with asthma between the ages of 4 and 11 years. In this trial, XOPENEX HFA (76 patients) was compared to a placebo HFA-134a MDI (35 patients), and the trial included a marketed albuterol HFA-134a MDI (39 patients) as an active control. Serial FEV1 measurements demonstrated that 90 mcg (2 inhalations) of XOPENEX HFA produced significantly greater improvement in FEV1 over the pretreatment value than placebo and were consistent with the efficacy findings in the adult studies.
For XOPENEX HFA, on Day 1 the median time to onset of a 15% increase in FEV1 was 4.5 minutes and the median time to peak effect was 77 minutes. In the responder population, the median duration of effect as measured by a 15% increase in FEV1 was 3 hours, with a duration of effect in some pediatric patients of up to 6 hours.

NCTU was established in Shanghai, China in 1896, and re-established in Taiwan by former Chiao Tung University faculty and alumni members in 1958, following the government of the Republic of China's forced relocation to Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War.
The university's main campus is located close to the Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan's national research center. The area is referred to as the Silicon Valley of Asia. More than 400 technology companies have been established in the park. The NCTU campus is also one of top tourist attractions in Hsinchu area.

International Trade News
Julian Thomas, CEO of Hamburg Sud in the East Coast of South America, said the first-quarter figures are "impressive indeed."
The strong showing may reflect some additional business due to the resetting of the alliances, but is more likely a sign of the good trade performance by the overall economy over the past months.
Growth in US containerized exports continues, but slows, despite uncertainties over the direction of US trade policy, a strong dollar, and growing competition.
The deal follows the official adoption earlier this year of an ambitious development plan for the port.
The plan was announced during an official ceremony held on Friday to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the port's opening.
Roughly $4.6 billion is needed at East and Gulf coast ports to remedy pinch points in harbor infrastructure.
The decision will facilitate infrastructure investment.
The expansion will enable the terminal to add a fourth berth and boost the total terminal area by nearly 30 percent.
"We have seen growth spurts before that have fizzled out and regressed back to the downwards trend soon enough, although admittedly none in recent years have been close to the same magnitude."
Recommendations highlight the unique requirements of mega-ships and the complexity of bringing them to berth.

Rockawayites Take Part In Shea Stadium Cancer Relay
By Miriam Rosenberg
Contributing Editor
The Rockaway Rowdies were in Flushing representing the Rockaway area on a rainy April 29, when Shea Stadium was host to the first American Cancer Society Relay for Life held in a baseball stadium. The day was gray, but spirits weren't as the Rockaway team joined others in the fight against cancer.
"A baseball game may be called because of rain, but not a relay," said David Golub, the regional vice president for the American Cancer Society, to cheering participants.
The local team included Joanne Shapiro (team captain), Delores Orr and Victor Gabay (and members of his family).
The noon to 10 p.m. event celebrated those who have survived cancer and the medical advances that make it possible for the survival numbers to continue to rise each year. The relays also raise money – through entry fees, raffles and sales of merchandise – to help to find a cure for cancer.
Relay for Life events are held nation-wide each year. On June 18, Beach Channel High School will host the annual Rockaway Relay for Life. For more information contact Heather Reagan of the American Cancer Society at heather.Reagan@cancer. org.

Raimundo Irineu with the 'Rainha da Floresta' (Colônia Cinco Mil)
The sacred beverage 'Santo Daime'
For thousands of years, Santo Daime has been used by the native people of the Amazonian forest in both religious ceremonies as shamanistic and therapeutic practices. The brown colored and bitter tasting tea is known under many names: yagé, nepe, kabi, natema, hoasca, and ayahuasca. This last name comes from the ancient Quechua language and means 'vine of the soul'.
1930-1971: Master Irineu
Raimundo Irineu Serra (1892 - 1971), born from African ancestors, was a simple rubber tapper, working in the forest. When the people of the rainforest introduced him to their sacred beverage, he soon received revelations from the 'Rainha da Floresta'. She revealed a shining ritual, in which was danced and sung. In 1930, Master Irineu created the 'Doutrina do Santo Daime', which was the first centre where people from non-indian origins could drink ayahuasca.
1971-1990: Padrinho Sebastião
Sebastião Mota de Melo (1920-1990), one of the direct disciples of Master Irineu, continued his master's work. Knowing that it was his mission to bring the Santo Daime to the whole country, he created the community 'Céu do Mapiá' deep into the rainforest, from where he would lead the expansion of the doctrine to the cities of Brazil.
1990-present: Padrinho Alfredo
Alfredo Gregório de Melo (1950), son of Padrinho Sebastião and Madrinha Rita, opened churches in Europe, the United States and Japan. While bringing the Daime to the world, Padrinho Alfredo also reassured the connection of the religion with nature by creating a new community in the virgin forest.
Hymns & Hinários
The first Santo Daime hymns to be received from the spiritual dimension, were spread and memorized only by singing them together. At present times, the internet brings these hymns to every one who desires to hear them.

There's continued tension at the Turkish-Syrian border. Ankara is threatening military retaliation should Syria keep sending shells across the border. Experts don't expect a war - but also can't rule it out.
The Turkish military didn't wait long. When Syrian shells hit Turkish territory in mid-October, Ankara replied in kind. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned that whoever wanted to test his country's readiness to defend itself was making a deadly mistake.
His chief of staff Necdet Özel threatened with massive retaliation. The parliament in Ankara gave the government the green light for a possible invasion of Syria, while the tensions caused international concern about a potential fully-fledged war between the countries. Experts see no immediate danger of war, but can't rule out the possibility either.
A further escalation is unlikely though, believes Michael Brzoska, expert on security policy and peace studies at Hamburg University. "I don't see any interest in Turkey in being drawn into an internal Syrian conflict," he told Deutsche Welle.
Andre Bank, Syria expert at Hamburg's German Institute of Global and Area Studies (GIGA), does not expect the current occasional skirmishes to escalate into war either, as Erdogan must take into account that a majority of his political supporters are against intervention.
A volatile border
But the situation at the border is complicated. It is still unclear who exactly is firing from the Syrian side. It's also impossible to say whether the firing is intentional or accidental. But a major strike on a Turkish school or hospital with several casualties, for instance, would force politicians and military leaders in Ankara to react. "This can only happen if the level of violence reaches another level," Bank said. Then the Kurdish rebels, the PKK, or the Syrian army would be likely to retaliate in turn.
Relations between the two neighbors have continually worsened since the beginning of the Syrian civil war. Erdogan has called Syrian President Bashar Assad a dictator with blood on his hands. Syrian troops already fired across the border at a refugee camp in the Turkish province Kilis in April, injuring several people. Two months later, the Syrian army shot down a Turkish military plane, and both pilots lost their lives. Turkey, a NATO member, then began moving troops and military equipment to its southern border, while Turkish fighter jets force back Syrian helicopters when they come too close to the border.
The conflict reached its worst point so far on October 3. During a fight between Syrian rebels and Assad's army, several mortars hit a Turkish border village, killing five Turkish citizens. The Turkish artillery responded, and since then there have been several artillery exchanges between the two sides. Both countries have closed their airspace to each other – a move that came in response to Ankara forcing down a Syrian civilian machine, which Turkey claimed had military equipment on board.
Backing for the Syrian rebels
Turkey has been deeply implicated in the Syrian civil war from the outset. Around 100,000 refugees have fled to Turkey during the conflict. The Free Syrian Army organizes its campaign with the help of massive backing from Ankara. The Erdogan government also wants to increase its influence in the Middle East. "The Turkish model is seen as an example by many Arab opposition movements," said Bank. But this role could change, depending on how Ankara's relationship with Syria develops. Should Turkey intervene, "it might be seen as yet another colonial power."
There are many regional players indirectly involved in the conflict. Saudi Arabia and Qatar support the fragmented Syrian opposition, along with Turkey. The government in Damascus can count on support from Iran. As direct neighbors, Jordan and Lebanon are both very much affected by events. Some of those countries would benefit from a military intervention by Turkey, Brzoska explained. The Free Syrian Army would welcome an intervention the most. "But this would not be without complications for the Free Syrian Army either, as they'd have to deal with Ankara differently after a Turkish victory."
Kurdish role
The Kurdish role in the conflict is difficult to assess. In Syria's north, the Kurdish "Democratic Union Party" (PYD) is considered the sister party to Turkey's PKK, which in recent months has intensified its attacks on Turkish security forces. The PKK now seems to operate from Syrian territory too, while Assad's troops have almost entirely withdrawn from the Kurdish part of Syria. Aside from the PYD, other Kurdish groups are seeking help from Ankara as part of the Syrian opposition.
Neither Bank nor Brzoska espcect an end to the tensions along the border any time soon, though everything depends on the future course of the civil war. As long as there remains a military stalemate between the government in Damascus and the rebels, the danger remains that the situation will escalate.
