Sophie Devine starred with the bat and ball as the White Ferns cruised to a five wicket win in the second Twenty20 match against the Australian Southern Stars at Bellerive Oval at Hobart.
A superb bowling effort by the White Ferns kept the Australians to 115 for and they then chased down the target with over three overs to spare.
Australia made a steady start after winning the toss and electing to bat, putting on 43 for the first wicket but once Sophie Devine ripped out both openers the momentum swung towards the White Ferns and was never relinquished.
Alex Blackwell provided some resistance with a swift 40 from 38 deliveries but wickets kept tumbling at the other end.
Strike bowler Devine finished with three for 24 while all-rounder Suzie Bates did a tidy job in taking two for 20 in her four overs.
The run chase was dominated by a second wicket partnership of 75 between Devine and Aimee Watkins
Devine was the aggressor, striking a eight boundaries in a blistering 48 off 31 deliveries white Watkins anchored the innings with a solid 36 from 38.
The loss of Devine induced some jitters late in the innings with the tourists losing three wickets for nine runs but cool heads from Amy Satterthwaite (7*) and Erin Bermingham (8*) guided the White Ferns home.
It is the second win in as many days for the White Ferns who have bounced back from the 5-0 loss in the One-Day International series and have a chance to make it three in a row with the final Twenty20 played at the same venue tomorrow.

Three Ways To Tame Chrome's Start Page
Posted on Chris Poindexter | 3 Comments
For those wanting to customize that start page, the ways to do it through Chrome's internals are bizarre and, in some cases, complex. The way the start page works has changed over the last couple years and searching for help frequently lead to outdated solutions that no longer work.
It was a problem looking for an app to fix and clever developers responded with some tools that make Chrome's start page a customizable wonder and tear down the limitations on how the start page is setup.
Speed Dial
Speed Dial, pictured above, lets you configure the number of shortcut panels and includes many site logo panels. It's simple, attractive and very useful. You can customize the number and size of the panels and set your own background. Speed Dial adds a speed link to your address bar which you can later disable when your panel page is set to your liking.
My only dings on Speed Dial are there could be more site logos and every so often some site panels will go blank for no apparent reason. Aside from those two minor dings it's a big improvement over the stock start page. Note that Speed Dial 2 is a similar application by a different author, not the second generation of Speed Dial. Really, I like them both so you can't really go wrong if you select the other one.
Incredible Startpage
A Google featured extension Incredible Startpage rearranges the start page to include both side shortcuts and other types of bookmarks and task panels. The big bonus to Incredible Startpage is being able to put your apps on the same page as your shortcuts. Something that seems odd Google couldn't figure out for themselves.
Start! is a highly rated bookmarks and app aggregator for your Chrome start page. Has a convenient Ctrl + R refresh shortcut for the days you're burning up the net. This is another app that puts bookmarks and apps on the same page. Still a mystery that Google didn't come up with that on their own, but that's what keeps developers in business, right?
These three apps will make your Chrome start page a joy to use and take a good idea and make it even better.

The Bobcat line of engine-driven welders and generators has been redesigned to reduce sound and weight. The line now offers a smaller footprint and reduced fuel use, with an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) option available on the Bobcat 250. The Big Blue 350 PipePro engine-driven welder and AC generator features a Caterpillar turbocharged C1.5T engine. The 24.7-hp, 1,800-rpm engine is a liquid-cooled, three-cylinder, EPA Tier 4 Interim model. In addition, the company's Arc Armor Titanium series welding helmets have been redesigned with InfoTrack technology, enabling the operator to track arc-on time, and set alarms and timers with a digital clock.
Portable Welding Power Source Offers Compact Design
Miller Electric offers the Multimatic 200 and LPR-100 half-mask respirator, as well as upgrades to its Bobcat line, Big Blue 350 PipePro and Arc Armor Titanium series welding helmets.
New Product Post: 10/18/2012
Miller Electric offers the Multimatic 200 and LPR-100 half-mask respirator, as well as upgrades to its Bobcat line, Big Blue 350 PipePro and Arc Armor Titanium series welding helmets.
The Multimatic 200 is a three-in-one portable welding power source capable of performing MIG, Stick and TIG welding processes in a compact design. According to the company, the Auto-Set Elite feature enables operators to quickly and easily set weld parameters based on material type and thickness, and fine tune those parameters to match each specific application. The system weighs 29 lbs and connects to common 120- and 230-V power receptacles with the company's multi-voltage plug.
The LPR-100 half-mask respirator features a low-profile design to fit under most welding helmets. The NIOSH-certified design is said to filter out 99.97 percent of airborne particles and oil aerosols with an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of 10. The mask can be customized with a four-point head strap adjustment, and a large non-return exhaust valve reduces heat build-up and user fatigue.

HOUSTON - If you are headed outside for than than 20 minutes, you will need to take precautions to protect your skin from cancer.
"Skin cancer in Texas is a big problem. It's growing by leaps and bounds," said dermatologist Dr. Brian Ransdell with Kelsey-Seybold, The Woodlands.
Dr. Ransdell sees cases of skin cancer every day. "I've had patients who noticed a new spot and within a month, it's invasive so it's important to act quick do your monthly checks."
Now that summer is in full swing, he says use sunscreen with an SPF 45 or higher and apply a shot glass full 30 minutes before you head out. Reapply at least every 2 hours.
"Using sunscreen is very important, especially under age 18. That's when the cells can be altered and that's when cancer begins early in life," said Dr. Ransdell.
He says most people apply spray-ons incorrectly.
"Spray it on then use your hands to rub it in. People seem to always spray it on like it's cooking spray or spray paint and they seem to miss areas."
Sun-protective clothing and big hats can add extra protection.
Dr. Ransdell says melanoma can develop even from getting sunburned once or twice a year. In men, it is most common on the back. For women, it is the legs.
"So melanoma is hard to find places you don't think you're going to find it," said Dr. Ransdell.
He says those most at risk of skin cancer are people who grew up in the south with more sun exposure, those with fairer skin and any family history of skin cancer, especially melanoma.

In the past, I have written about ways to integrate SiteCatalyst with other tools including Voice of Customer, CRM, etc… In this post, I will discuss how SiteCatalyst can be integrated with Tealeaf and how to implement the integration. This post was inspired and co-written by my friend Ryan Ekins who used to work at Omniture and now works at Tealeaf.
About Tealeaf
For those of you unfamiliar with Tealeaf, it is a software product in the Customer Experience Management space. One key feature that I will highlight in this post is that Tealeaf customers can use their set of products to record every minute detail that happens on the website and are then able to "replay" sessions at a later time to see how website visitors interacted with the website. While this "session replay" feature is just a portion of what you can do in Tealeaf, for the purposes of this post, that is the only feature I will focus on. In general, Tealeaf collects all data that is passed between the browser and the web/application servers, so when someone says, "Tealeaf collects everything" that is just about right. While there is some third party data that may need to be passed over in another way, for the most part, out of the box you get all communications between browser and server. Tealeaf clients use their products to improve the user experience, identify fraud or to simply learn how visitors use the website. Whereas tools like SiteCatalyst are primarily meant to look at aggregated trends in website data, Tealeaf is built to analyze data at the lowest possible level – the session. However, one of the challenges with having this much data, is that sometimes finding exactly what you are looking for is like looking for a needle in a haystack if you have an earlier version of Tealeaf (i.e. earlier than 8.x). While the Tealeaf UI has gotten better over the years and is used by business and technical users, it was not built to replace the need for a web analytical package. It is for this reason that an integration with web analytical packages such as SiteCatalyst makes so much sense.
SiteCatalyst Integration
Since SiteCatalyst is a tool that can be used by many folks at an organization, years ago, the folks at Omniture and Tealeaf decided to partner to create a Genesis integration that leverages the strengths of both products. The philosophy of the integration was as follows:
- SiteCatalyst is an easy tool to use to segment website visits, but that it doesn't have a lot of granular data
- Tealeaf has tons of granular data, but isn't built for many end-users to access it and build segments of visits on the fly
- Establishing a "key" between the SiteCatalyst visit and the Tealeaf session identifier could bridge the gap between the two tools
Based upon this philosophy, the two companies were able to create a Genesis integration that is easy to implement and provides some very exciting benefits. When you sign up for the Tealeaf/SiteCatalyst Genesis integration, a piece of JavaScript is added to your SiteCatalyst code. This JavaScript merely takes the Tealeaf session identifier and places it into an sProp or eVar. That sProp or eVar then becomes the key across both products. Once the Tealeaf session identifier is passed into SiteCatalyst, it acts like any other value. This means that you can associate SiteCatalyst Success Events to Tealeaf ID's, segment on them or even export these ID's. However, if you go back to the original philosophy of the integration, you will recall that the primary objective of the integration is to combine SiteCatalyst's segmentation capability with Tealeaf's granular session replay capability. This is where you will find the most value as demonstrated in the following example.
Let's say that you have an eCommerce website and that you have a high cart abandonment rate. In SiteCatalyst, it is easy to build a segment of website visits where a Cart Checkout Success Event took place, but no Purchase Success Event occurred:
Once you create this segment, you can use SiteCatalyst or Discover to see anything you want including Visit Number, Paths, Items in the Cart, Browser, etc… However, the one thing that is difficult to see in SiteCatalyst is the actual pages the visitor saw, how these pages looked, where the user entered data, the exact messages they saw, etc… As the old saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words" and sometimes simply "seeing" visitors use your site can open your eyes to ways you can improve the experience and make more money! However, watching every shopping cart session would be tedious. But by using the SiteCatalyst-Tealeaf integration, once you have built the segment shown above, you could isolate the exact Tealeaf session ID's that match the criteria of the segment, which in this case are visits where a checkout event took place, but there was no purchase.

Digging the Snood
Have you heard? Female turkeys really dig the snood!
But what is the snood? And the wattle for that matter?
Check out this short video featuring Alex Burkel, whose family is raising the Presidential flock in Minnesota this year. Alex points out the wattle and the snood – no thanks to a photobombing turkey – and also explains that turkeys have about 3,500 feathers or so.
Turns out, a snood's main function in life is to attract the girl turkeys (or "hens") to the boy turkeys (or "toms").
See it really is true – chicks dig the snood!

Crazy Guy on the PlaneProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
A line of 100 airline passengers is waiting to board a plane. They each hold a ticket to one of the 100 seats on that flight. (For convenience, let's say that the nth passenger in line has a ticket for the seat number n.)
Unfortunately, the first person in line is crazy, and will ignore the seat number on their ticket, picking a random seat to occupy. All of the other passengers are quite normal, and will go to their proper seat unless it is already occupied. If it is occupied, they will then find a free seat to sit in, at random.
What is the probability that the last (100th) person to board the plane will sit in their proper seat (#100)?
HintThe whole thing stops when someone else sits in Crazy Guy's seat.
AnswerThe whole thing stops when someone else sits in Crazy Guy's seat. The chances of that range from 1/99 (First person) to 1/1 for the last guy. So:
1/99 + Summation from 98 to 2 of ( 1/ n(n+1) )
This returns 0.5 or 50%.
Also, the answer remains 50% no matter how many people are added to the line!

The worst anti biotic! Expertise severe abdominal pain-couldn't eat or sleep because I was in so much pain. Was prescribed this for a large infection in my wisdom tooth and dentist told me to take it with ibuprofen- do not do this. This caused me so much pain that I had to be admitted into hospital!
I was probably over prescribed this drug. It used to be the only antibiotic that worked to kick my sinus/bronchitis infections. I have taken the name brand and generic for a few yrs. Since this last march between the name brand and generic ive been prescribed this drug seven times with no luck of clearing my sinus and bronchitis. On a new antibiotic.
Bad reaction with welts and red spots large all over my body. Itching like heck. Chest tightness. Went to ER for emgent treatment
Had a rash/ pimples across my face chest, stomach, and chest. However cleared my Skin Staph infection up quickly!
I do not have diabetes, I just have gastroparesis with no known cause. I took Reglan before this but stopped after potential future serious side effects were revealed. Erythromycin in 250 milligram doses three times a day worked better anyway. It got rid of my nausea, but I had to take it on a full stomach or else I would have pain and diarrhea. I also had minor acne and Erythromycin cleared that right up within a week. I would recommend giving this a try if you have gastroparesis and Reglan isn't working for you.
After 3 weeks of awful migraines and feeling all around horrible, my doctor prescribed this for me. After just three days, I already feel a great improvement, not fully recovered yet, but a big improvement. My doctor also gave me a daily allergy medicine to take with it. But I am confident it is the antibiotic making the difference.
Using the 333 MG for acne works okay but it caused me to have a major yeast infection! What is worse? Acne on my back or a miserable case of yeastie beasties? At this point, I think I need to put my vanity aside and just deal with the back breakouts.
Generic T-Stat Solution This stuff really does knock out cystic acne fast although you have to keep using it as long as the underlying hormone/genetic condition lasts. I get few cysts now that I am post-menopausal but I still use the erythromycin solution on any I acquire and (despite being expired for 9 years!) it still works great.
Erythromycin I haven't had to take it for several years but used to have to seasonally for bronchitis. It worked well and fast when I needed it though.
Oral Erythromycin - Effective At Clearning My Acne I asked my doc fororal antibiotic treatment after years of using Aknemycin Plus (Erythromycin 4%/Tretinoin 0.025% Solution) with limited success. I initially asked for doxycycline, as I thought the bacteria were almost certainly resistant to erythromycin by now. Howver, the erythromycin treatment was effective in clearing my acne to just a few pimples. During the first weeks of treatment, my acne deteriorated dramatically, with my nose swelling painfully and embarrassingly due to huge amounts of lesions swelling inside. Once these had surfaced and ruptured, my skin seemed to improve daily from then on. I continued using Aknemycin Plus and Quinoderm (benzyol peroxide 5%/ potassium hydroxyquinoline sulphate 0.5%) topical treanments. Three weeks post-treatment and I have only three small pimples. I am now also using Retin-A over the T-zone, and Quinoderm over my nose.

Humankind's most recently scheduled date with the apocalypse came and went without much fanfare. But in New Mexico this year, with fire scorching the ground, smoke filling the air and drought settling in, it doesn't exactly feel like we've gotten off scot-free.
Parts of the state are suffering through the driest periods since records have been kept, ie, well over 100 years. The federal government has allowed ranchers emergency grazing access to restricted grasslands in several New Mexico counties, but the cattle and hay industries are still set to take a brutal loss. And kids certainly won't be fishing in the Santa Fe River this year. Everyone is trying to forget dire predictions of a megadrought, but no one trusts the clouds to bring reprieve anytime soon.
Peak oil is entrenched as a sound bite in the mainstream media and energy resources are a discussion issue at every level of government, but no one really talks about peak water. Access to plentiful, cheap, clean water is taken as a given—even in the dry southwestern United States—but it may just be our most precarious resource.
What are the major threats to our water supply in Santa Fe and how can we better manage and allocate it?
A study published this past February in the weekly science journal Nature starts off with what sounds like good news. Scientists examined a 270-foot core sample pulled from New Mexico's Valles Caldera and used some fancy techniques (er, molecular palaeotemperature proxies, anyone?) to examine sedimentary layers, determine dry and wet periods, and think deeply about interglacial climatic variability.
The conclusion is that "in the absence of anthropogenic forcing, the region should be entering a cooler and wetter phase." Hurray! Except we have lots of "anthropogenic forcing," otherwise known as human-induced climate change, possibly enough to tip us in the other direction altogether. Principal researcher and University of New Mexico associate professor Peter Fawcett told the New York Times, "…we are certainly increasing the possibility of crossing a critical threshold to severe and lasting drought conditions."
Maybe that's why the study is titled "Extended megadroughts in the southwestern United States during Pleistocene interglacials."
Fire in the Watershed
The Santa Fe Watershed—the drainage area out of the Pecos Wilderness that fills our reservoirs to the tune of 40 percent of Santa Fe's drinking water—has been closed to the public since 1932 in order to minimize fire danger.
After the Cerro Grande fire in 2000, the City of Santa Fe commissioned a report from Hydrosphere Resource Consultants to determine the watershed's vulnerability. The results were bleak. The watershed is thick with the kind of wild vegetation on which fires thrive. An uncontrolled fire in the watershed would fill the reservoirs with a thick coating of ash; subsequent erosion would deposit even more ash and sediment in the reservoirs, reducing their capacities and rendering the water unusable for years.
According to city Water Resources and Conservation Manager Rick Carpenter, "Some estimates say it would take up to 10 years for the reservoirs to recover enough to produce drinking water." Carpenter says that, prior to the Buckman Direct Diversion project, that kind of hit in capacity would have meant severe water restrictions. But the BDD is capable of handling the city's daily needs—unless we're in a megadrought.
The other good news is that controlled burns and aggressive management over the past decade have reduced the likelihood of an uncontrollable fire in the watershed.
Radioactive Contamination/Pollution
While it's comforting to know that the Buckman Direct Diversion can provide for the city's water needs, some city residents and activists remain concerned that the water, diverted from the Rio Grande, will be subject to radionuclides from Los Alamos National Laboratory and other upstream contaminants.
Radiological contaminants have been demonstrated to enter the Rio Grande through Los Alamos Canyon during periods of storm-water runoff. During high runoff, concentrations of contaminants have sometimes exceeded the levels deemed to be "safe" by regulatory agencies. However, in addition to a water treatment facility designed to remove any such contaminants, the BDD has a shut-off mechanism to prevent taking in water during high runoff periods.
Additional filters and steps in the treatment plant are designed to remove chemicals and pollutants associated with industrial waste, pesticides and pharmaceutical products. But Joni Arends, executive director of Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety, remains concerned about the treatment process.
Challenging scenarios like drought, fire and radiation, she says, compound each other. "We've built a nuclear weapons facility in a wildfire zone and an active seismic area above our drinking water supply. That's really the worst case scenario—what we already have," Arends says.
Concern over the potential for seismic activity to cause a catastrophic radiation leak at LANL has heightened in the wake of recent events in Japan. If an earthquake cracks LANL in half, all bets are off.
In an April 20 article in High Country News, writer Matt Weiser pointed out that Federal Bureau of Reclamation data indicates that reservoir capacity in 11 Western states has dropped by 8 percent, or "enough water to serve at least 9 million households."
All dams naturally collect sediment. According to Weiser's article, many dams both ancient and modern incorporate systems for flushing sediment, but the concept never took hold in the United States during the heyday of dam construction. Reservoirs without the ability to remove sediment are essentially unsustainable infrastructure with limited life spans.
Anyone with a barrel under a canale knows the art of capturing water in an arid landscape is, like a few other things, all about size. The bigger the barrel, the wetter the result.
New Mexico's Elephant Butte Reservoir was built in 1915 with the capacity to store 2.6 million acre-feet of water. Thus far, 600,000 acre-feet of storage have been lost to sedimentary buildup.
The New Mexico Bureau of Geology & Mineral Resources, in partnership with New Mexico Tech, has performed extensive aquifer mapping in the state. Around Santa Fe, it's clear that a steady decline in subsurface water levels has continued more or less unabated since initial levels were noted. A typical well in Santa Fe demonstrates an average drop of 1.5 feet per year over the past 57 years.
Statewide, the largest consumption of water resources is the agricultural industry—a key piece of the regional economy and a potential linchpin for food security going into the future. Environmentalists and some policy makers would like to see better management of the water used for agriculture, and a stronger push toward reusing and recycling.
But such practices demand investment in treatment plants to ensure the reused water is safe for crops intended for human consumption. In addition, reused water has an altered mineral content and typically contains much higher levels of salinity. The shift in mineral content means that huge amounts of time and money would need to be poured into soil management and remediation in order to keep crop yields high and healthy.

AFTER more than a decade of campaigning thousands of Winchester people will enjoy reduced noise pollution from the M3.
The Government has announced that the road from junction 9 at Winnall to junction 14 at Chandler's Ford will be resurfaced sometime between 2015-17.
Local MP Steve Brine was told the news by roads minister John Hayes that plans have been brought forward from 2020.
Shepherds Down Special School headteacher Jane Sansome welcomed the news.
"I'm delighted. Road noise has such an impact on the school. We have a lot of autistic children and they can get upset by it. So this is great news.
"The road is right next to the school fence and it can get incredibly noisy," said Mrs Sansome at the 130-pupil school at Compton which reopens tomorrow/today. (THURS Sep 4) Mr Brine said it was "absolutely fantastic news" for thousands of his constituents.
He has campaigned to bring forward the resurfacing work since his election in 2010 and last year took local councillors, as well as representatives from Shepherds Down to meet the minister in London.
Mr Brine said: "We had been told the carriageway passing through Winchester and Chandler's Ford was unlikely to be resurfaced until 2020 at the earliest but I couldn't accept that because noise from the motorway is seriously impacting on peoples' lives in large parts of my constituency. The situation is especially bad for the children at Shepherds Down School and I understand it was their lobbying which really helped us get the ministers' attention and ultimately this decision."
He added: "This work has been carefully agreed with the Highways Agency to build what is required maintenance of the carriageway into the urgent need to address noise pollution. It is absolutely fantastic news for thousands of my constituents and, while we should not be tricked into thinking road surface is the sole cause of motorway noise, the lower noise surfacing material will significantly dent the din."
Some limited work has been done to reduce noise in the last decade but this resurfacing will be of all three lanes and the hard shoulder.

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - American Venus Williams took the first step towards a potential third round clash against Maria Sharapova with a 6-1 6-0 thrashing of Kazakhstan's Galina Voskoboeva at the Australian Open on Monday.
The 32-year-old Williams, who won her first tournament in almost three years in Luxembourg last October after battling injuries and illness, was simply too powerful for the 28-year-old, who had problems with her serve the entire match.
The Kazak often lost the ball in the sun during her toss, while on several occasions it drifted the wrong side of the service line. Even then there was little pace on the ball, allowing Williams to step in and blast back forehand winners.
"I mean, the stats looked good for me. I haven't seen them all yet, but I got a high first serve percentage and more winners than errors, so that always makes a good match," Williams told reporters.
"Obviously it's nice to spend less time on the court, and not be in long sets. Obviously a win is a win no matter what it is, but it's nice when it's more routine.
"I did my best to just close it out."
Williams will now meet France's Alize Cornet or New Zealand's Marina Erakovic in the second round, with a mouth-watering clash against world number two Sharapova in her sights after the Russian beat Olga Puchkova 6-0 6-0.
Wearing a self designed watercolour inspired dress on Hisense Arena, Williams is entering the twilight of her career and after battling back from the auto-immune, fatigue inducing illness Sjogren's Syndrome in 2011 she has taken a more philosophical outlook.
"I realise one day it will end," she said of her long career.
"So now I realise all these opportunities. I try to take to best I can of them. When it's over, I will be out and hopefully, I won't run out of money and have to commentate.
"But I'd like to move on from tennis. I love designing. I put my foot in that door already, and probably helping players on the side.
"I love the game, and while I'm here, I'm going to go for it."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/11/2010 (2473 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
FISHER RIVER -- At midnight on a bitter Manitoba winter night when the sewage plant on a remote First Nation breaks down, who you gonna call?
Troubleshooter Ken Mattes.
He has installed a water plant for the Canadian Forces in Egypt and built warm flush toilets for soldiers cleaning up radioactive debris from a Soviet satellite that crashed in the Arctic.
"We had running water in a week."
Now retired from the military, Mattes, 64, has turned his attention from war zones to the challenges of his final frontier -- supplying clean water on First Nations reserves.
The superhero of water and sewer services doesn't wear a cape, but if you sign up for his optimistic band of trainees, he'll give you a really nice T-shirt.
Winnipegger Mattes is president of the national Circuit Rider Trainers Professional Association, named after the itinerant preachers who used to travel on horseback to minister to settlers.
He and his staff are available to diagnose water and sewer problems on Manitoba First Nations 24 hours a day. When a phone consultation isn't enough, they hop in a truck or on a plane to troubleshoot in person.
Mattes is an expert at keeping aging treatment plants going until INAC comes through with funding for upgrades, but sometimes he gets to help commission a new plant.
Unfortunately, no amount of mechanical tinkering can solve the problems in Island Lake, where half the homes have no plumbing to begin with.
The Circuit Rider Training Program operates in Manitoba through the West Region Tribal Council and trains First Nations citizens to look after their own water and sewage-treatment plants. It starts with math upgrading and moves on to classroom and distance education to help trainees become certified water plant operators.
But it's the on-the-job training, watching pros such as Mattes troubleshoot, that's the most valuable.
Manitoba's training program is so successful, it has been copied around the country and graduates are in demand for jobs off-reserve in municipal water and sewage plants.
"I think they're envious" of the First Nations training program, Mattes said. "I'm very proud of what we've accomplished."
It's ironic that Manitoba is at the forefront of water plant training when the same province has the highest number of reserve homes that don't have running water.
When plants break down, First Nations residents often end up having to boil their tap water while the problem is fixed. But Manitoba's operators are so clever at holding aging plants together, fewer than five per cent of communities here typically have a drinking-water advisory, compared to almost 20 per cent nationwide.
"We've virtually eliminated boil-water orders in the province of Manitoba," Mattes said.
He's not counting boil-water orders on Hollow Water First Nation because that situation cannot be resolved until INAC funds a bigger water-treatment plant. Mattes is also well aware that thousands of Island Lake residents have to haul their drinking water in buckets because their homes have no plumbing, but he thinks Manitobans also need to hear the good-news stories.
On Fisher River Cree Nation, two hours north of Winnipeg, he introduces some of his proteges. Water-plant operator Dave Cochrane is proud of their sparkling new $16-million state-of-the-art water and sewage treatment plants and lagoon, which are replacing individual wells and septic fields. He rhymes off the technical details as he gives visitors a tour of the water plant, with its membrane nano-filters to remove iron from groundwater.
Mattes figures the drinking water coming out of the Fisher River plant is purer than Winnipeg's. Future plans include bottling the water for homes too remote to be hooked up to water pipes.
Meanwhile, Fisher River's new sewage plant has an innovative system for removing phosphorus from waste water to protect nearby Lake Winnipeg.
The INAC funding system creates winners and losers. When a First Nation eventually makes it to the top of the list and gets a new water plant, it's likely to be high-quality these days. Meanwhile, other First Nations waiting their turn limp along for years with dangerously faulty old plants or homes with no running water at all.
Fisher River identified the need for water and sewage plants in 1997, but it took more than a decade to win approval through INAC. The community's school, arena, personal-care home and some houses now get piped water, but the First Nation needs at least $10 million more to hook up the remaining 200 homes that are reasonably close to the treatment plant.
"We'll keep pressuring the government to move our project up on the list," said director of operations Sam Murdock.
Cochrane, 38, used to work in policing and then he drove a van for dialysis patients, but he loves the challenge of his new job.
"The good thing is, let's say you get your... certification, you can go anywhere in Canada."
Sixty per cent of water-system operators on Canadian First Nations are now certified, up from 40 per cent in 2005. The remainder are typically completing their classroom training while they continue to get on-the-job experience.
Manitoba's 63 First Nations employ 195 water-system operators. They're often on-call evenings and weekends to keep water and sewage plants running around the clock.
The Provincial Circuit Rider programs might eventually expand to delivering regional water services under the direction of a new national First Nation Water Commission, if aboriginal leaders persuade Indian and Northern Affairs Minister John Duncan to include a commission when he rewrites a proposed drinking-water law.
As Mattes helps Fisher River workers fine-tune the new water treatment plant, he builds up their confidence and sense of belonging to a team. It's clear one of the secrets of his success as a trainer is his ability to connect with the aboriginal trainees. His wife and kids are Métis -- in fact, his daughter teaches aboriginal art at Brandon University.
"The culture is very well-respected in our family," Mattes said.
These stories were partially funded by a journalism award from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
University-trained engineers and band leaders are proving that education sometimes solves as many water problems as cash. For the full story, see www.winnipegfreepress.com/no-running-water

A YOUNG mother has been chosen to front a campaign shining the light on rheumatoid arthritis, a condition she was diagnosed with at the age of just 29.
Carla Carter, 35, from Haydon Wick, is among three sufferers across the UK chosen to feature on posters and pamphlets to promote Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness from June 16 to 22.
The mother-of-one first experienced unusual stiffness and discomfort in her hands and feet during her honeymoon in Goa in November 2007, but put the pain down to the humid weather.
On her return to the UK she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an auto-immune disease.
The debilitating illness caused her immune system to attack the cells that lined her joints, making them swollen, stiff and painful and damaging her bones.
"When we were in Goa I had stiff wrists and feet in the morning, I was aching and I had swollen fingers but I thought it was because it was very humid," said the clinical audit facilitator for Avon and Wiltshire Partnership, the region's mental health services. "I also had sore ankles and toes.
"I had already been getting wrist pain using my computer before but I just thought it was repetitive stress injury at the time.
"When I was diagnosed with it at the end of 2007 it was a shock. I started taking methotrexate, which is a chemotherapy drug, in small doses to lower my immune system to try and stop to the joints from being damaged. But it means you are more prone to infections."
In order to get pregnant, Carla came off her medication, which led to more bone damage. In 2010 she gave birth to baby Isabel. Two years later, she had to have her right wrist entirely replaced.
"During the pregnancy my wrist became really bad," she said. "I couldn't move it sometimes, my fingers got stuck in the palm of my hand – it was really painful. I had to get steroid injections.
"It was hard when Isabel was born, having to lift her with stiff hands.
"Now because of my wrist replacement I am not allowed to lift anything heavier than five pounds on that wrist so it's not easy. I find it hard to lift Isabel in a shopping trolley, for example. Doing normal things and being a normal mum, I have to be careful."
Last year Carla underwent further surgery after one of the tendons in her right hand snapped.
By sharing her story and standing proof to the fact that RA can affect anyone no matter their age, Carla is hoping to correct the public's misconceptions and raise awareness of sufferers' daily struggles.
"I wanted to raise the profile of the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society and hopefully help those that may be suffering like me in Swindon; especially those that are young," she added. "And I wanted to promote the awareness week in general. The key is getting the disease recognised by GPs first to enable people to get the correct treatment."

GREAT Britain bobsleigh crewman Bruce Tasker has hailed the "miraculous" recovery of Trowbridge pilot John Jackson who has been named in the nation's 56-strong team Winter Olympic squad just six months after suffering a career-threatening injury during summer training in Bath.
Jackson ruptured his Achilles tendon after falling awkwardly during a sprint session in July and Tasker recalled the moment his shocked teammates feared their dream of winning a medal in the 50th anniversary year of Tony Nash and Robin Dixon's famous triumph in Innsbruck in 1964 was over.
Tasker said: "I was standing right by the hurdle where it snapped and it was horrible - it sounded like someone had thrown their shoe down on the floor.
"It was awful to see our pilot stricken by suck a terrible injury and we thought our dream was over, but John has made a miraculous recovery which is testament to his motivation and his passion for the sport.
"Even while he was laid there on the ground he said straight away, 'I will be with you on that line in Sochi'. He was confident right from the word go and from that moment on we never doubted him."
Not only did Jackson, a rehabilation instructor in the Royal Marines, fight back fast enough to return to the start of the World Cup season, but he capped his recovery by steering his four-man sled to a silver medal in Calgary shortly before Christmas.
It was a result which emphatically underlined Jackson's return to realistic medal contention, and the newly buoyant mood around the British bobsleigh programme was heightened this week with the news that fellow pilot Lamin Deen had scraped through qualification to ensure there will be two British four-man bobsleighs at the Games for the first time since 2002.
As befitting a man who has encountered plenty of difficult tests in his sport and career - including overturning both his two-man and four-man sleds in the course of a tumultuous Olympic debut in Vancouver four years ago - the 36-year-old Jackson took his latest setback squarely in his stride.
Jackson, who lives in Paxcroft Mead, said: "I was probably the most relaxed out of everybody because I knew exactly what had happened and there was no point panicking.
"I started to get my head round it and use my experience as a rehab instructor. Ten years of doing that job really began to pay dividends, and I was able to focus on getting fit.
"Obviously, it was a bit of a setback. Our aim was always to win Olympic gold but we had to change that goal for a while and focus on getting back fit. Now we are back to where we are and I believe we are back on track for a medal."
Jackson will be pushed by the trio of Tasker, Stuart Benson and Joel Fearon, all of whom switched crews to help Deen over the line in their penultimate World Cup of the season last weekend. Deen's 11th place finish in Igls secured Olympic berths for his crew of Ben Simons, John Baines and former Beijing Olympian Craig Pickering.
In addition, Jackson's partner Paula Walker will go to her second Games as pilot of a promising women's team along with brake-woman Rebekah Wilson.

Mary Abbie Bixby
Meredith, New Hampshire
She was Joe Woodward Cowing's Great-Grandmother.
Letter from Kendall W. Cowing, March, 2006
She would say to her grandchildren, "Now remember that your "Gram" was born in the shadow of the Green Mountains!" One of her favorite recitations began, "Now Ichabod Green was a green country lad, and he came from the Green Mountain State ....."
Mary Abbie Bixby was born into a family that has been largely male for over 100 years. She was the only daughter of Danile Hiram Bixby and Huldah Smith Bixby. Shed had four brothers. When she was five years old the family moved to Meredith, New Hampshire. Chesley Bixby, quoted Uncle Will Bixby as saying, "It was the Smiths who had the brains in the family." (The Meredith Library is designated as the Smith Memorial Library and was probably endowed by them.)
Mary Abbie (Bixby) Cowing lived a fulfilling and complete life. She raised a family of three boys, (Eugene, Charles, and Earl) in Meredith and built an enviable record of service to individuals and families throughout the community. She played an active role in civic affairs and was much in demand for programs and social affairs. She and my father (Earl B.) had a very close relationship which he expressed eloquently in his poetry across the years.
Mary Abbie (the only Bixby woman of her generation) provided warmth and strength to the bonding of the Bixby family including nursing and household assistance when needed. While the Bixby men (William, George, Carl, Chesley, and Henry) labored to achieve success in the arenas of business and community service on boards and organizations ......they were (and are) supported by the strong women they chose to share their life and career with. Chesley often spoke of "Aunt Abbie" with respect and affection .... reflecting on the many ways she shared and influenced the Bixby families.
Truly, "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world"!

A WOMAN has been ordered to pay back thousands of pounds of housing benefit she wrongly claimed.
Tania Bleasdale of Brisbane Street, Clayton-le-Moors, pleaded guilty to two allegations of failing to declare changes in her circumstances.
Blackburn Magistrates' Court heard the 40-year-old failed to declare her partner, who was in full-time employment, was living with her.
She also failed to tell officials she was earning more after changing her job.
As well as being told to pay back an overpayment of £5,180.92, Bleasdale will have to carry out 40 hours of unpaid work and pay costs of £110.
Cabinet member for finances at Hyndburn Council, Coun Joan Smith, said: "The message is clear – make sure your benefits claims are up-to-date and in order.
"Otherwise we will pursue you, and you could end up in court."

Two-nothing and two-nothing.
Nothing being the important word.
Are the Rangers done? No. Not yet. In the playoffs, what happened yesterday doesn't matter one lick today, and we saw evidence of that in the first period of Game 2, after the Rangers lost in OT in Game 1. They were, I thought by a pretty fair margin, the better team at the start of Game 2.
What happened in Game 1 had no bearing on the start, the middle, or the finish of Game 2. None. And if you want to look at it as the Rangers have to win two in a row, and have to now win four of the last five, well, that's real math, but there's no way any of that is impossible, and no way the Rangers can even let any of that enter their thinking.
And I'll say this, and by no means intend this to be a pep talk for them or for you. For seven periods so far, it hasn't been men vs. boys. It hasn't been all Capitals by any stretch. The Capitals have been a little bit better, and they have been helped by the Rangers' inability to put points on the board.
1) Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to the Capitals as they barreled down the stretch. I heard they were playing better defensively. I had no idea how much better. And I admit, I had no idea they were this physical and nasty.
2) That said, I think the Rangers' second, third and fourth lines and six defensemen are as good as the Capitals' second, third and fourth lines and six defensemen. And though the Capitals' No. 1 line hasn't yet dominated a game, you can't compare it to the Rangers' No. 1 line … because the Rangers don't have one.
3) I also expected a Capitals goalie, either one, to cough up something. This kid hasn't had to be great, but he was pretty good in period 1 of Game 2, and looks pretty unflappable so far.
4) Just wanted to point out that, since the Rangers smacked around Jose Theodore in Game 1 of the 2009 playoffs, they have scored eight goals in eight playoff games (three of those in a 5-3 loss in Game 6). In other words, they've scored one or none in six of those eight.
5) And, yeah, the Capitals have some soft guys on their side, too. But the Rangers' soft guys couldn't have been any softer.
6) About the 1-0 goal. Thank goodness Mike Keenan is in the studio, because nobody else wants to say anything negative about anybody or anything. Coach K pointed out that the coverage in front, especially by Brandon Dubinsky, was bad on that goal. And it was. Chimera=Beast.
7) About the 2-0 goal. Let's start with the penalty call. Most times when you have multiple guys pushing and shoving in a scrum, if the referee decides to let some of it go, he'll say, "That's enough" or "No more" or something like that to let the guys know that the next one gets a penalty. I don't have any idea if the officials said that before Ryan McDonagh knocked his man on his keyster. If that warning was made, then it's a penalty. If it wasn't, that's a pretty weak call. Pretty weak. Then, on the PK, Chris Drury almost won the draw, got beaten on the wall by Alex Semin, and the Capitals got the good bounce that went to Jason Arnott, all alone.
8) The Rangers power plays were dreadful, and it's long-term now. Again, they don't have a legit PP QB. But they also almost always lose the draws on the PP, which immediately costs them possession. And with the limited skill they have, they need possession — and I know, that's fairly obvious. Duh, you need possession. But the Rangers aren't a team that's going to skate it up the ice and set up. If they're giving up a free clear off the draw, it could take a minute or more to get it in and set up.
9) I understand Alex Ovechkin taking a pass off the wall, behind him, and going around Dan Girardi. And I'm sure there are better defensemen than Girardi who've been victimized by Ovechkin like that. But I don't get where Marc Staal's partner was when Staal had his shot blocked and Erik Christensen had to (feebly) play defense as Henrik Lundqvist made a huge save.
10) Unavoidable: Sean Avery discussion. He was good. He was very, very good. And smart. Like when you go into a scrum and Erskine is trying to smack around Prust or somebody, Avery took the opportunity to rough up Semin. That's smart. That's effective pestiness, effective intimidation. Avery's not going to intimidate Erskine or Chimera, though he aggravated them. He might get into the head of a guy like Semin, though. Good job by him.
11) Some of the Rangers have really been good through two: Staal, Sauer, Boyle, Prust, Fedotenko, Prospal. Some others, not so much.
12) Looked like Mike Sullivan had a little John Tortorella moment with some fans behind the glass at the end of the game.
13) Unrelated to this game … and I could never feel sorry for Matt (that piece of carcillo) Cooke. But he has to be wondering why he's sitting out the entire first round, and LA's Jarret Stoll got one game. The NHL should just shut up. It's so, so, so, so spineless when it comes to these suspensions, even when it's clearly a cheap-shot/head-shot. Yeah, they're trying to clean it up. What a farce.
14) If the Rangers had won this game, regardless of the score, we'd sure be talking about that first period, because it was a spectacular period of playoff hockey, wasn't it?
15) Not to single out the guy, but I thought Bryan McCabe has really struggled with the pace of this series. Unlike some of the others, it's been more about his legs than his will.

Board majority disregarding community
Parents and citizens of Jefferson County ought to feel outraged at the recent actions of the new majority members of the school board. Let's see. What's happened so far this year?
• A decision to provide all-day, paid kindergarten at Lasley Elementary in Jeffco is on the chopping block, something parents and community members of this county had already voted on and approved.
Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right. Or, perhaps more importantly, smart.
When the Jefferson County Board of Education designated Daniel McMinimee as the sole finalist to serve as the new superintendent of schools, it met the requirements of Colorado law. What the board — or, more specifically, the board's majority of Ken Witt, John Newkirk and Julie Williams — didn't do was to learn from earlier miscues that how you do things is just as important as what you do.
"Follow him to hell!"
One of the more memorable things from my four springs as a student at Colorado State University was the annual pilgrimage to Fort Collins by a street preacher named Jed. Jed would place himself on the wall between the Social Sciences Building and the library and, at the top of his lungs, harangue any student in earshot about the terrible choices we were all making and the inevitable consequences of our transgressions.
By Betty Harris
Does Littleton have an inferiority complex, or is that complex merely a reflection of some of the members of the city council? What is the purpose of spending $50,000 on a new logo and slogan when the council continues to complain about lack of revenue? Will a logo and slogan draw in more people? Will they pull in more customers and more revenue when masses of people have moved to shopping online because it is easier?
By state Sen. Andy Kerr
To residents of state Senate District 22 and others:
It's a word that hardly sounds positive when it comes to a negotiation. And yet, it is what the teachers union declared last week before walking out on negotiations for a new contract with the Jefferson County Board of Education.
Not to be the eternal optimist, but designation of an impasse may be just what the doctor ordered, as it will lead to designation of a mediator between two groups that seem to have little trust for each other in a possible standoff where there's plenty of blame to go around.
Common Core standards won't help our students
Common Core state standards: You either love them or hate them. Personally, I hate them.
They're rounding the final turn and headed for the home stretch as your 69th Colorado General Assembly begins to wrap things up. Because of the limits in our constitution, the legislature must adjourn by May 7, just five weeks from today.
The House passed the 2014-15 state budget last week, and the Senate will complete its version by Friday. They should be able to resolve any differences by next week, and we'll be in the mad dash to the finish line.

Dry Conditions Could Affect Spring Turkey Hunting
AUSTIN, Texas — Despite dry conditions across Texas, prospects for this year's spring turkey season remain promising, thanks to a carryover of mature gobblers, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists.
Rio Grande spring turkey hunting season opens April 1 and runs through May 14 in 153 counties. The spring eastern turkey season is open in 42 East Texas counties from April 1–30. Special youth-only weekends are set for March 25–26 and May 20–21.
"We have a decent carryover from previous years, which means there should be some older birds out there," said T. Wayne Schwertner, TPWD turkey program leader. "Despite dry conditions across most of the state, I'm not concerned about the overall health of our turkey populations going into the spring hunting season. We had a fairly warm winter so the birds have not been stressed from a temperature standpoint."
What hunters could see this spring are lean birds due to a lack of food supplies as habitat conditions continue to deteriorate from lack of rainfall. "The drought is not resulting in serious adult mortality, but turkeys are not going to be rolling butterball fat, either," Schwertner noted.
Statewide regulations allow the use of shotgun, rifle, handgun, legal archery equipment, or crossbow to take Rio Grande turkey; however, individual landowners and public hunting areas may further restrict the devices to be used. The bag limit for Rio Grande turkey is four turkeys per license year. Regulations and bag limits vary by county, so check the county specific rules where you are hunting. Only gobblers are allowed to be harvested during the spring hunting season. Consult the 2005–06 Outdoor Annual for season dates and bag limits in your area.
Eastern turkey hunting is limited to shotgun, lawful archery equipment or crossbow, with a one-gobbler bag limit. All harvested eastern turkeys must be taken to a check station within 24 hours. To find the check station nearest you, contact a TPWD field office or call (800) 792-1112.
Hunters in East Texas hoping to try their skills in some of the national forest lands in should note some areas may still be inaccessible due to debris from Hurricane Rita, which could create challenges and opportunities for hunters as birds find new haunts.
"Hunting will be tricky with the dry conditions and just accessing the woods right now will be challenging," said Gary Calkins, TPWD district wildlife biologist in Jasper. "Some of the areas are going to be miserable, like on the Angelina (Neches/Dam B Wildlife Management Area). The Big Thicket took a lot of damage; there weren't a lot of birds up there except on the fringes to begin with. The Sam Houston did not take much damage and they've got a lot of birds up there."
Calkins cited reports indicating some shifting of birds in the aftermath of the storm. "Some areas in the southern end of the Pineywoods have definitely seen some shifts from traditional areas and birds may be using marginal habitat because of the loss. We didn't have much of an acorn crop to begin with and the storm put a hurt on turkeys.
"Overall, other than the access issue, hunting is going to be pretty good," he predicted. "The birds are big and healthy so the drought has not affected their health and that's a bright side. I don't feel like we're at risk of losing birds."
Hunters are urged to contact the U.S. Forest Service's district ranger office for each National Forest or Grassland before heading afield. Here is the contact information:
- Sabine Ranger District (409) 787-3870
- Angelina Ranger District (936) 897-1068
- Davy Crockett Ranger District (936) 655-2299
- Sam Houston Ranger District (936) 344-6205
If you intend to hunt in the national forestlands, a TPWD Annual Public Hunting Permit (available for $48 wherever hunting licenses are sold) is needed and provides access to several hundred thousand acres of public hunting lands in East Texas.
Last year marked the first full month spring season for eastern wild turkeys in Texas, but according to TPWD district biologist David Sierra in Tyler, a majority of the harvest still occurred during the first part of the month. "It's like deer season, no matter how long you make it, most of the harvest still takes place early on."
What that means for serious hunters is less pressure on the birds after the opening week. Sierra said hunters looking for opportunity should try the Caddo National Grasslands or explore standby hunting on one of the department's wildlife management area drawn hunts, like at Pat Mayes WMA.
As to prospects in his district, which covers the Post Oak Savannah ecoregion of East Texas, Sierra expects there will be fewer jakes available due to poor hatches last year, but still plenty of "uneducated" 2½-year-old gobblers to call up.
"We had a good mast crop here and there so birds that ranged could find enough food to carry them over," he noted. "Body conditions should be in good shape overall.
Hunters are reminded that a Texas Upland Game Bird Hunting Stamp is required in addition to a valid Texas hunting license. The stamp endorsement is included in the Super Combo and Lifetime Hunting license packages. Non-residents who purchase the Non-resident Spring Turkey License are exempt from this stamp endorsement requirement.

Ellis' walk-off, Maholm's gem put LA back in first
Lefty leads shutout vs. Padres as Dodgers reclaim NL West lead
LOS ANGELES -- Stepping in for the injured Josh Beckett, Paul Maholm stepped up with six-plus dominant innings, setting up a dramatic 1-0 walk-off win over the Padres, as A.J. Ellis' bases-loaded sacrifice fly with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning scored Adrian Gonzalez, who had doubled.
The Dodgers overcame the third-inning ejection of All-Star outfielder Yasiel Puig and now have the best record in the National League, restoring their margin over the Giants to one game with the win, which was credited to closer Kenley Jansen.
Gonzalez led off the ninth against Kevin Quackenbush with a long double to center field. Matt Kemp struck out, Andre Ethier was walked intentionally and Juan Uribe walked on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases.
Padres manager Bud Black went with a five-man infield, bringing Jake Goebbert to play a left-handed second base, leaving left field completely empty and positioning center fielder Will Venable and right fielder Seth Smith shallow and straight away.
"We were trying to cut off the run," Black said. "We know he [Ellis] is heavy on the right side, so if Quack executes there and we get a ground ball, maybe we can get out of that."
Ellis took a strike, fouled off two fastballs, took a ball, then lined the walk-off out that was caught by a retreating Smith near the right-field corner as Gonzalez tagged to score.
"He did an incredible job, did what you need to do, drove the ball in the air," Gonzalez said of Ellis' at-bat. "Deep enough to give me a chance to score. That's as professional as it gets."
Gonzalez said the win was important because it assured the Dodgers of going into the break in first place, and he mocked those who criticized the Dodgers for their perceived first-half dysfunction, the notion "that we have a really bad chemistry, and we've got a bunch of underachievers, and we don't deserve to be in first place," he said.
Although Maholm came into the game 1-4 with a 5.18 ERA and without a start since May 14, it was his 250th career Major League start, so he wasn't a newbie to the first inning. He has admittedly struggled with his transition to the bullpen, but he knew he signed with a team that already had big money committed to starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Dan Haren and Beckett.
"In the back of my head, I still want to start every fifth day," said Maholm. "But our rotation has done really well, there's no complaints that way. But I wanted to prove to myself that I can still do it. The last time I started, I gave up 10 runs [five earned]. I've done this a long time. So I was in my comfort zone. It wasn't something different. I just went back to my normal routine."
Maholm made seven starts early in the season when Beckett, Kershaw and Ryu were injured, then he went into unfamiliar terrain as a long reliever who gets sporadic use. Now he has the longest current scoreless-innings streak of any Dodgers starter. He allowed two hits and struck out four without a walk.
"I had no expectations coming into the game," he said. "I just went hitter to hitter. I wanted to go deep and didn't want to hang the guys out in the bullpen."
Added manager Don Mattingly: "I felt like it was almost like he was on a mission to show us he could start."
Puig -- who ran into a double play that killed a rally in Friday night's loss -- was ejected in the third inning for calling plate umpire David Rackley "stupid" after taking three called strikes from Ian Kennedy.
After the second strike, Puig put his right hand on his hip and stared at the plate. The scene repeated itself after the third strike. Then Puig and Rackley exchanged a few words. First-base coach Davey Lopes tried to intervene, but Puig insulted Rackley and was ejected by the time Lopes arrived at the plate.
It was Puig's second career ejection. He was replaced in the outfield by Carl Crawford. By game's end, Kemp had played in left field, center field and had moved back to left. Ethier had played in center and right. Scott Van Slyke had played in center. That made for three center fielders, two left fielders and two right fielders.
Meanwhile, Kennedy was firing his best start of the year, matching the Dodgers' staff with a three-hit shutout through eight innings.

Topic: Suggestions For Constipation-a Reposted Message from This Site.
For constipation:
1.Stool softners
Senna(Senokot) works on colon and can be bought OTC.;they may take up to 6-12 hr to work.Colace,Surfak(Docusate sodium) works on the small and large intestine(colon) and can take up to 24-72hrs to work.
2.Stimulant laxatives
ducolax(Bisacodyl) 5mg tablet , 10mg suppository and Fleet enema which are a bit stronger than that of the stool softners.(OTC);they work in the colon too.;they may take 15min to an hour to work.;Castor oil works on the small intestine and it may take up to 2-6hr to start working.
3.Saline Laxatives
Magnesium citrate or Milk of magnesium are saline laxatives works on small and large intestine;Sodium phosphates(Fleet Enema) is also a saline laxative but works on colon.(30min to one hour)
Mineral oil works on the colon as lubricant;it may take 6-8hr to work.
5.Misc.laxatives included glycerin suppository(15-30min-colon), Lactulose(24-48hr-colon), Lubiprostone(24-48hr-acts on GI epithelium),Miralax(48hr-acts on small and large intestine) and sorbitol70%(24-48hr-acts on colon) and of course the co-lytely 4000ml bottle used primary for colonoscopy to clean the bowel before the exam.
As you can see ,there are a lot of choices,but I think the best way to handle your mom's problem is to ask a GI physician about which one or two ( or combinations) that can work the best for your mom base on the location of BM problem and duration or action of the laxatives he/she choose.
god bless.

Plug Prayers Answered
Should I get a full AIS transponder or just a listener? X.G, via e-mail
However, that second "if" is a biggie. Currently available Class A AIS units cost upward of $4,000 and can entail serious additional installation expense. Besides antennas and power, they need NMEA 0183 input from GPS, electronic compass, and speed transducer, any one of which may lack the horsepower to send data to yet another device. Then there's the special, fast 0183 output to the various radars, plotters, and PCs where you might want to see the targets (you end up "seeing" what the transponder "hears"). Picture a lot of connections, a lot of possible points of failure, and another way NMEA 2000 can improve marine electronics. In addition, the powers that be are still working on a Class B AIS standard, and while it should bring down unit costs, there'll be a lag between the finished standard—expected later this summer—and actual equipment.
By contrast, AIS listeners aren't subject to standards or FCC approvals or complicated installations, and I sense that we're about to see the field of available products explode. Si-Tex just announced an AIS Radar product that has its own little screen and retails at $700, as well as a $500 black-box "engine" that will plot AIS targets on several Si-Tex plotters or on a PC running a growing number of AIS-capable charting programs. I hear we'll soon see a combination AIS listener and GPS that uses USB for power and data. And Nobeltec, perhaps the first company to offer AIS listening to yachts, just cut a third off the price of its receiver. So while 90 percent is an exaggeration, it's surely easier to just listen to AIS.
