A SOLDIER from Nelson was shot dead by a rogue Afghan soldier with a personal grievance, an inquest has heard.
Father-of-three Lance Corporal Michael Foley, 25 was killed at his forward operating base in Lashkar Gah on March 26 last year.
Sergeant Luke Taylor, 33, from Bournemouth, a Royal Marine, also died in the firefight.
Their inquest at Oxford heard the Afghan was waiting outside the base with other men to collect a VIP.
They became increasingly agitated as they were quite correctly not allowed inside.
Shortly after 10am a nearby gate was opened as a local interpreter was escorting a civilian from the base.
Deputy coroner Alison Thompson said: "That opening of the gate provided an opportunity for a man with an intent.
"It is not for me to make criticism of the soldiers and the way they operated, or attack individuals in relation to their responsibility for this tragic event."
After bursting through the gate the Afghan National Army sergeant unloaded rounds from a machine gun.
L/Cpl Foley, a former Barrowford Primary and Colne Primet High School pupil, was hit in the head.
Both men died instantly from non-survivable injuries.
The coroner ruled they were unlawfully killed while on active duty overseas.
Their killer injured another serviceman, who has subsequently recovered, before himself being shot dead.
A soldier since 2003, L/Cpl Foley, and his family had settled close to his barracks in Didcot, Oxfordshire, with wife Sophie and three young sons Calum, Warren and Jake.
At his funeral last April, his commanding officer Major BJ Cattermole paid tribute to a man who was "the epitome of a modern soldier".
He said: "Nothing was too much trouble for him, his smile and indefatigable sense of humour were enough to raise the spirits of everyone who came in touch with him.
"He was the epitome of a modern soldier, at ease with all ranks. He gave his life protecting those he loved."

This year, I'm not merely "looking forward" to Thanksgiving. Oh no. It's pure, unbridled giddiness. Let me explain: For the first year, in many, many years, I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying put. With the man I love. And it will be glorious. My game plan: Stretchy pants, Christmas movies and extra servings of pie, all dished up in a continual loop for at least 24 to 36 hours.
Although pulling together a two-person menu is nowhere nearly as stressful as one for a 20-person party (haha, suckers!), it does take some planning.
You'll rarely find a recipe for two people, so the goal here is to use recipes that can easily be halved (or quartered) as well as recipes that serve four—because, c'mon, you want leftovers. After so much effort, single-serving dishes would just be cruel.
First up: The bird. I'm still toying with the idea of a small roast chicken, but if you're a turkey-or-bust type, opt for just the breast. Go traditional with Kelsey Nixon's version, get a little fancier with Roasted Turkey Breast with Creamy Gravy and Cranberry Pomegranate Sauce (shown above), or kick it up with Southwestern-Chipotle Turkey Breast With Pomegranate Cranberry Relish and Polenta. Not what you're looking for? Find more options in our Thanksgiving Dinner for Two section.
On to sides, which is really the only thing people care about anyway, right? In a perfect world, I'd make mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes. However, time is of the essence. Fortunately, the ever-fabulous Nigella has it covered with a Double Potato Mash (shown above) that mixes the best of both worlds. It's a behemoth recipe, making 10 to 12 servings, but with only four ingredients and very basic steps, even the most math-inept types (ahem) can easily reduce it. Alternately, our microwaved single-potato spin on mashed potatoes can't be beat for ease.
Now, stuffing. When cooking for two, I'm sorry, but making your own from scratch with biscuits or cornbread is pure insanity. Opt for jazzing up bagged seasoned stuffing mix with fresh herbs like the Kitchens did for our Better Than the Box Stuffing. The recipe makes a lot, but when it comes to stuffing, is that such a bad thing? You can also find more fanciful options (like oyster sausage and apple pear) here and here.
Greens need to be somewhere on the plate, but since this isn't a formal affair, I'm going the rustic route with Dave Liberman's Slow-Cooked Brussels Sprouts (shown above). Five ingredients, one pan, around 4 servings, done. Not a Brussels fan? One of these quick and easy Thanksgiving sides (ready in 30 minutes or less) is sure to fit the bill.
Finally, dessert. The sensible thing would be to tell you to pick up some ice cream, make a batch of mini pumpkin cookies, and call it a day. But this is not a time for sensibility. So in addition to a full classic Pumpkin Pie, I'm thinking Chuck Hughes' Apple Turnovers. Flaky pastry and just four servings? Yes. But Michael Symon's 3-Minute Chocolate Cake (shown above) is probably the best bet: It's absurdly easy, made in the microwave and served in individual ramekins.
Throw in sparkly beverages, maybe a quick White Bean Dip or Buttermilk-Corn Muffins (using boxed mix) for snacking and dinner is done! As for the washing the dishes…well, that's what your other half is for, right?

A project that documented patterns of biodiversity and related processes in the Gulf of Maine, which will be used in ecosystem-based management of the area.
Peter Lawton, Ph.D., Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Centre for Marine Biodiversity, St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada
The Gulf of Maine Area Census of Marine Life was one of seven initial field projects of the Census of Marine Life. The Gulf of Maine was selected as the ecosystem pilot study for the Census. The goal of this program was to gain enough knowledge to enable ecosystem-based management in a large marine environment. The program advanced knowledge of both biodiversity and ecological processes over a range of habitats and food-web levels, from plankton to whales.
Missing Links
The Gulf of Maine is a dynamic ecosystem. Both natural and human influences have wrought large changes in the abundance and diversity of life in its waters. Such species as mackerel, herring, and lobster have flourished at times, but wild Atlantic salmon are endangered, and traditional livelihoods have been wiped out by the collapse of such bottom-dwelling fish as haddock and cod. We know a lot about some individual species, but we don't know enough about these populations, their habitats, and their interactions with one another and their environment to determine why these changes have taken place or what the future may hold.
Scientific Objectives
This program focused on marine life in the Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank, the adjacent Slope Sea, and the western New England Seamounts. The team took advantage of and demonstrated the latest technologies to perform an integrated study that was aimed at understanding both the biogeography of the gulf and the processes controlling it. A broad suite of instruments and sensors collected data on the physical and biological characteristics of the Gulf of Maine. Acoustical and optical devices were deployed or operated from surface vessels, towed sleds, and remotely operated and autonomous vehicles. The program worked with existing efforts in this well-studied region, such as Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the US National Marine Fisheries Service. The program's objectives were to:
• synthesize current knowledge of biodiversity, including patterns of distribution, drivers of biodiversity patterns and change, and how biodiversity patterns affect function of the Gulf of Maine ecosystem;
• assess the extent of unknown biodiversity;
• lead and support development of information systems to increase access to data;
• support selected field projects and emerging research technologies;
• work with the scientific community and federal agencies in the USA and Canada to help develop a framework for incorporating biodiversity information into ecosystem-based management;
• make recommendations for future research and monitoring; and,
• educate the public on the role and importance of marine biodiversity.
The Gulf of Maine program extracted knowledge from scientific literature and existing databases to create a searchable Gulf of Maine Register of Marine Species. Researchers also gained knowledge through new field studies aimed at little known components and areas of the Gulf, undersampled species, and little understood ecological processes. They synthesized knowledge into scientific papers and reports. Its offers a section on technologies to guide researchers on the appropriate tools and techniques for assessing biodiversity in the ocean, as well as informative sections aimed at students and educators. New research strategies focused on the most important gaps in knowledge. These include a dearth of information on organisms that inhabit the seafloor and on the role of large vertebrates, including sea birds, mammals, turtles, and tunas, in shaping the flow of energy in the Gulf of Maine. Research better defined what species live where, what their roles are in the Gulf's ecosystem, and the processes that influence their numbers.
What's Ahead
As the program team worked with ongoing efforts in the Gulf and synthesized what is known, it identified gaps on which further study could be focused. It performed field studies, as well as recommended a system of ongoing monitoring.
By their nature, not all things about ecosystems or their futures are knowable. Uncertainty is inherent in ecosystems. With increased knowledge, however, we can narrow uncertainty and learn how to adapt to it. The Gulf of Maine Area program developed a framework that can be shared by managers and scientists of how knowledge of regional marine biodiversity could be used in management. The purpose is not to make recommendations on how to manage, but to encourage thinking about how biodiversity information could be used outside its purely scientific realm.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/4/2013 (1580 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Gary CROWTON admits it was not a particularly auspicious debut.
"Fifty-two to nothing," Crowton grinned earlier this week during Winnipeg Blue Bombers mini-camp, "was not a good day that (first) day I started to change the offence."
The score to which Crowton refers was of course the score in last year's Labour Day Weekend game in Regina as a Bombers team that had just fired head coach Paul LaPolice sustained their worst shellacking in years with Tim Burke at the head coach controls and Crowton for the first time entirely in charge of the offence.
Until that point in the season, the Bombers offence -- which had been all but hopeless -- had been a hybrid of what LaPolice wanted to do and what Crowton, in his first year in the CFL, wanted to do.
While Crowton is far too classy to say that was precisely the problem -- trying to marry his offensive scheme with the one favoured by LaPolice -- the evidence of what followed, and the quiet comments of other Bombers coaches, suggests exactly that.
Because after the loss in Regina and then two more in succession to the Riders at home and Calgary on the road respectively, the Bombers offence under Crowton's exclusive control went on a tear over the final seven games of 2012, leading the league in production and finishing 4-3 after opening the season at 2-9.
While no one -- including Crowton -- was happy with a regular-season record of 6-12, the way the Bombers offence finished was sweet vindication for a man Tim Burke says is widely considered among the finest football minds in the U.S. when it comes to designing an offence.
"He's really highly regarded. If you go down to the U.S. and say, 'Gary Crowton is on our staff.' They go, 'Really? Wow!'" Burke said Friday.
Burke said Crowton's exploits in turning around a moribund Louisiana Tech program in the late-1990s, followed by a stint as the Chicago Bears offensive co-ordinator in 1999-2000 and then more success as a head coach at Brigham Young have made him an offensive guru of sorts in the U.S.
And so despite Crowton's inauspicious CFL start, Burke did not hesitate to turn the offence back over to Crowton during this off-season.
Crowton dove into the project, describing this week how he completely immersed himself in his first real opportunity to design a CFL offence from the ground up.
"This has been my life," Crowton said the other day.
Indeed, it was Crowton who recommended the Bombers offensive line be returned intact. It was Crowton who recommended the signing of new QBs Max Hall and Chase Clement, the re-signing of Justin Goltz and the release of backups Alex Brink and Joey Elliott.
And, most importantly, it was Crowton who recommended Buck Pierce be given one more chance to be the starting quarterback, only this time in a new offensive scheme that Crowton has tailored exclusively to keeping Pierce upright.
Crowton says Bombers fans will instantly notice a difference in the Bombers offence in 2013. He says passing routes have been shortened and the ball will be coming out of Pierce's hand much more quickly than it did.
And the team's running backs -- perhaps their biggest strength heading into 2013 -- will become much more involved in the offence, both as part of maximum protection packages and in the passing game, in addition to grinding out yards on the ground.
"All these things," says Crowton, "I think will help keep Buck healthy."
So what does Buck think? Well, it turns out that Pierce thinks his safety -- and the immediate future of the Bombers offence -- couldn't possibly be in better hands.
"Coach Crowton is a coach that prides himself on challenges and prides himself on understanding scheme and defences," Pierce said Friday. "...He's meticulous... and I think the players get it. You see how far ahead we are in this mini-camp compared to last -- it's night and day."

Mary-Lynn Cesar, Kapitall: The World Nuclear Association ranks the United States as the global leader in nuclear power production. According to the WNA's May profile of nuclear power in the United States, the country is responsible for 30% of total global nuclear generation of electricity. Domestically, the WNA states that nuclear power generated 19% of the United States' electricity in 2011 with coal and gas generating 43% and 24%, respectively.
[Read more from Kapitall Wire: Spotlight on Defense Contractors, 10 Undervalued Stocks to Watch]
However, Bloomberg reports that the 19% share is the industry's lowest since 1998, which – combined with the closing of four reactors thus far this year – supports claims of its decline. For the past 30 years, the nuclear industry has faced a lull in reactor construction, and although plans are underway for new units, the WNA notes that low natural gas prices have placed the future of many of those projects in doubt.
Meanwhile construction is currently underway for four nuclear reactors: Vogtle 3 and 4 in Georgia and V.C. Summer 2 and 3 in South Carolina. The Vogtle plant is noteworthy for its approach to design, construction, and regulation, which the industry hopes will result in a cheaper, more efficient way of building reactors. A New York Times article covering the Vogtle reactor points out that the projects' success will be instrumental in determining whether the cost of constructing a new reactor can be justified given the low prices of natural gas.
Business Section: Investing Ideas
As nuclear reactors continue to age, energy companies are faced with expensive renovations and construction as well as the option of shutting down operations. Given the expenses involved with these decisions, we decided to turn our focus to domestic energy companies that appear to be managing their costs well.
To screen for this, we looked for domestic energy firms more profitable than the industry average on the basis of trailing twelve month (TTM) gross, operating and pre-tax margins.
TTM Gross margin is the percentage of revenue remaining after a company has paid its production expenses. TTM Operating margin, a measure of operating efficiency, refers to the percentage of revenue left after all operating expenses have been paid. TTM Pretax margin is a company's pre-tax earnings, and the higher the pretax margin, the more profitable the company.
After running the screen, we were left with three companies involved with nuclear energy.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by supercowboy8, Jan 11, 2013.
He is 75, and still one hell of a coach so stop talking about kiffin being 72
Good night both those guys are so old!
Emmitt Smith is 43 and Troy Aikman is 46 ...... so Emmitt will be just as good an announcer as Troy.
Not saying he will be as good, just saying people are saying kiffin is bad due to his age, that's not the case.
:laugh2: Textbook definition of exception fallacy.
Sure...if people were saying Emmitt shouldn't announce because he's 43. Emmitt shouldn't announce because he can't announce. If people want to say Kiffen shouldn't coach because he can't coach fine. If the sole reason is because he's 72 then that is just a bias.
Why start a new thread with something that's been said 50 times in the others? Bad form.
By the same token, if someone asserts that age isn't an issue because there is a current example of one other successful DC of that advanced age in the league (coaching the same team for 12+ years), it's ok to challenge that premise.
Exactly ...... its like saying we should plan on Tony Romo playing till he is 39 or 41 because John Elway and Brett Favre played that long.
Kiffen is a great coach who has a brilliant football mind, but I am concerned about putting all our eggs in a very old basket.
Both are old men. Someone who can function at a high level as a coach as that age is the rare exception, not the rule. Just as is Romo still playing in his late 30s, as some here seem to take as a given.
This reeks of desperation on Jerry Jones part, and Kiffin cashing in one last time. Can't blame him. He knows it's likely a one year gig.
The difference is that Dick LeBeau is already established at Pittsburgh at the age of 75. He started there at the age of 67. Those 8 years can make a big difference for a person late in life. It would be much more difficult for Dick LeBeau at his advanced age to start at a new franchise, install a new defensive, and bring in his own players and personal and have success doing it. This is what is being asked of Kiffen at the age of 73. I'm not saying he can't do it. But it's naive to think age will not be a factor.
Yeah, nothing against Kiffen, but it's not like he's stepping into a 4-3 defense that needs a little tweaking, it's going to be a big effort presumably requiring a material time commitment and a good deal of energy. It wouldn't be any less of a challenge for LeBeau if he were to take a new position with a traditional 4-3 team.
A given...if the only reason that you think that DC will be successful is because another DC of the same age is successful. If you believe that Kiffen is a good DC in his own right then it doesn't matter his age. If you don't believe hes good then that is fine too. If you are saying he's good but too old then I think that's where the argument goes sideways.
Just because one guy functions great for his age, doesn't mean the other is going to. This one guy at my gym is in his late 70's and is sharp as a tack, and is in better shape than practically everyone else there, he is the exception. Monte Kiffen did a terrible job at usc.
Comparing what he did at USC to the NFL game is like comparing apples to oranges. College offenses are not like anything the NFL doing - even the "read option" offenses that Washington & Carolina use are like 10% of the versions used in college. PLUS, the players themselves are different. NOT EVERY USC PLAYER MAKES IT TO THE NFL!!!!!!!
That's not what the OP asserted. He suggested that since there was one example of a successful DC over 70, age shouldn't be a consideration. The evidence doesn't support the argument, that's all. It doesn't exclude or support Kiffen's potential on an age basis with any degree of certainty, it does indicate that there is at least one example of occurance in the modern NFL, but that is not the same thing. Exception fallacy - use of a single data point.
I was not directly supporting the OP. It was more a refuting of the Emmitt comparison. I go in believing Kiffen is a good coach and don't believe he will do well just because another has who is 75. With that assumption (on my part only and not expressed) it seems silly to compare someone who obviously has no talent at something (Emmitt as a broadcaster) We are in essence saying the same thing just without my prior belief in Kiffen explained. A does not = B.

TT Man
Thunder smash!
Heck, I ran more miles on Saturday then you did last week. Geez.
OH, I have you totally beat. I ran 4.
The week before that, just 19. *sigh*
Stupid soccer game...stupid knee.
Well yeah, but if we go by time...I probably got more HOURS on the road than you did
S&M Collector
12 Monkeys
You have an injury? I have no such excuse, but hope to do better this week. I'm even venturing into "THE PARK" this weekend.
I hope your knee gets better soon.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Yeah, you may have run more hours than I did on Saturday. But I still got you beat for the week!
50,000 Miles Later
Michelle - hopefully rest will make your thing that is not an injury feel better
Trent - I'd like to on Saturday, but Sunday afternoon may work out better. I'm wanting to get about 15 with the last 11.2 in the park.
Thunder - I've checked Craigslist a few times but haven't been to any of the bike shops. I heard ACME is a good bike shop (I think it's in Hendersonville). I can't swim well enough to do any of the open water triathlons that are left this season, so I may just wait a while about getting one.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Previously we talked about how new experiences can create new connections in your mind, which helps retain memories. Active experiences, where you are actually doing the activity, are the stimulus to create these new connections. Watching someone perform an activity is not the same thing as doing it yourself.
In particular, television is usually not a mind-enriching experience. When you watch someone doing something interesting, only your senses of sight and hearing are involved. When you are actually doing the activity, all of your senses are involved. Additionally, each additional hour of TV watched per day has been shown to increase the risk of Alzheimer's Disease. So, don't sit on the sidelines, get out there and experience!

TT Man
Lessee. So far today, Thunder, who has yet to run the Monkey, has advised that folks stay in a hotel at the other end of town from the race, that there is less grass on the course than there really is, and has messed with admin functions on this board.
Super Thunder!!
Thunder smash!
Oh Mighty Wing
Are you running it this year??
ah, so the grass is before the monkey....
i find the sunshine beckons me to open up the gate and dream and dream ~~robbie williams
That is the plan. I'm also planning on running Louisville in October...and I'm not running much now! Gulp.
Buy my wife's sea catchers
Thunder, you are running more than me! Plus the beginning half of the year looks really strong! I'm sure you will do GREAT!! And hey who knows next week may be enough to get you back in into it!
I never made it that far... so I went back... you are a cross training beast! And it looks like you picked up on the cross-training which I would think would cause you to cut back on running for a while anyway.
ohh see! then you have a plan and a reason so you will totally kick ass this fall!
When is your last tri?
The grass is the least of your worries. I know a good hook-up.
When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?

I just wanted to take a second and say thank you to the fearless and confident women out there, who don't care what society thinks of their size.The models who started it all.
Those who could care less if you call them curvy, thick, chubby, fat, or plus-size; but rather see it as a compliment.
The women who know that the inside is just as important as the outside.
You who celebrate the beauty of your body every day.
You inspire me.

The Dorm Meal Plan is for any student living in the residence hall or receiving Andrews University tuition assistance at the residence hall rate, no matter the age. If you are living in the residence hall, you are required to have this meal plan. The cost of the meal plan is $1,800 per semester. The Dorm Meal Plan is a declining balance plan, meaning that once the lump sum has been placed on your account the balance will decline over the course of a semester. You also have the option to purchase Meal Plan Extensions once the original balance on your Meal Plan runs low. Please visit our Meal Plans FAQs page for more information on the Dorm Meal Plan and Dorm Meal Plan Extension.
The Cafe Account is for any student over the age of 22 who does not receive the Andrews University tuition assistance residence hall rate and/or is not living in the residence halls. The Cafe Account can be opened with a minimum of $50 and money can be added to an existing cafe account in any amount $10 or more. For Cafe Accounts, we can put more onto your account with cash, credit card, and checks, or you may work through Registration Central. If a student opens a Cafe Account with $400 or more they receive a non-refundable 5% bonus to their account. Along with this 5% bonus, all student meals at Dining Services are tax-free. With both of these discounts students can receive a savings of 11% in one semester. Please visit our Meal Plans FAQs page for more information on the Cafe Account.
For all those who open a Cafe Account with $400 or more, that individual will be given a non-refundable 5% account bonus (faculty and staff do not qualify for the 5% back program). This cannot be redeemed for cash or returned to financial statements at any time, hence the "non-refundable" description. If you are a full-time student opening a Cafe Account you will also be saving another 6% by not having to pay tax on any meals at Dining Services. With this 6% saved throughout the semester on top of the previous 5%, a full-time student with a Cafe Account can save a total of 11% throughout one single semester.
Our Loyalty Card program is a new feature we offer to all non-faculty and staff Cafe Account holders. Account holders, who are not either faculty or staff, can bring their Loyalty Card to the Terrace Café whenever they buy a meal. Once they have purchased a total of ten meals with the loyalty card, bring the card in again to receive the eleventh meal free. This is the perfect program for anyone who eats at the Terrace Café on a regular basis. You may only have one Loyalty Card at a time, and there is no limit to how many cards you can receive in a single semester.
Students may use their ID cards to pay for meals if they are on a Meal Plan or Cafe Account. Faculty and Staff are given a 25% discount at the Terrace Café and on made-to-order items at the Gazebo when they present their ID card to the cashier. Faculty and Staff may also pay for meals by charging to their account. Cash, checks and credit cards are also accepted Sunday - Friday.
If you have a Cafe Account you may close out your Bookstore or Cafe Account at any given time during a semester. Once your account has been closed out, it may take up to 48 hours for the money to appear back on your financial statement. However, please keep in mind that closing out accounts is only possible for those with a Cafe Account, not a Dorm Meal Plan.

LPN Schools in Brevard County FL
If you are starting to look for an LPN Program in Brevard County FL then I think you will find the article below has some useful suggestions. Choosing the correct LPN School can be a really tricky decision, but it is good to be prepared, so you can be certain you have chosen one of the best LPN Programs in Brevard County FL.
LPN training in Brevard County FL is offered by state approved training centers, which include: high schools, technical schools, vocational schools, community colleges, junior colleges, and hospitals. Most LPN programs in Brevard County FL require you to attend classroom studies and additional clinical practices under supervision. After completing your LPN training, you have to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN) in order to receive your license and work as an LPN in Brevard County FL.
LPN training takes at least 9 months and 18 months at most, depending on the program you join. Unlike RN programs, there are no accelerated LPN programs which can cut your training short. Some schools advertise that they have a fast track LPN program which will let you become an LPN in a very short time, but before you even consider these kind of claims, you should check with your state BON to see if the school is accredited. LPN courses are true entry level trainings in which you learn a lot of fundamental medical concepts and acquire practical knowledge.
LPNs duties vary based on the work environment. Even though there are nurse aids (CNA), medical assistance, etc., under LPNs, there is a clear difference between the LPN job description and the rest. There is no substitute for the practical and theoretical knowledge one learns in LPN training programs which could have been learned from previous education.
LPN Programs Curriculum
LPN training curricula vary from one program to the next, but most programs' curricula consist of the following:
Fundamentals of Nursing
Contemporary Health Issues Vocational Adjustment
Nutrition and Diet Therapy
Growth and Development
Intro to Pharmacology
Psychiatric Nursing
Medical-Surgical Nursing
Maternal Child Health
In addition to the above curriculum, LPN training courses in Brevard County FL may cover the following subjects, as well: biology, chemistry, first aid, physical education, and emergency medical technology. LPN students are also required to go through clinical practice in patient care under supervision.
LPN Requirements
To become an LPN, you need to be more than 18 years old and attend a 9 months long training program or more. And to be eligible for LPN nursing programs, you need to have at least a high school diploma or equivalent (GED). When you enroll for an LPN program, the college will ask you to take a basic academic skill test. This is what is commonly refereed to as LPN entrance exam. For more information regarding the specifics of each program you want to join, please check the LPN college website or give them a call directly, as each college may have its own specific requirements. Referto our lLPN schools page for some tips on how to find an ideal school for you.
LPN Career Overview
Over the years, the demand for licensed practical nurses (LPNs) in Brevard County FL has been increasing to the point where it's now becoming easier to get a job as an LPN in various health care centers than other professionals in the same industry. The data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that the total number of LPNs and LVNs in 2008, across the nation, was over 750,000 and this number will keep on increasing by 21% in the coming 10 years. You can say the LPN career opportunity is financially rewarding. Again, according to BLS, in 2008, the national average LPN salary was $39,030. LPN salary greatly varies by state.
Overall, the LPN jobs outlook is very good and it will be the same in the coming years. The nature of the job mostly involves providing basic care for patients and helping patients whenever they require assistance in their daily basic needs. As an LPN, you may work in nursing care facilities, home health care services, general medical and surgical hospitals, or offices of physicians. The salary you earn also varies according to the nature of your job and the work environment.
The best thing about this field is that there is always room to expand your career by taking additional training courses. For instance, you can become a registered nurse through LPN to RN program; you can also become a psychiatric technician or occupational therapist assistant.
LPN Job Description and Duties
If you are a caring, compassionate person with good communication skills, this career path will fit you just right. You will be working alongside medical doctors and registered nurses. You will monitor the patient's conditions more closely than registered nurses and physicians and report your observation to them. You may also have nurse aids working under you and reporting to you. In addition to patient care, you may also be required to do the following tasks: collect patient's health history, collect samples for laboratory testing, perform simple laboratory tests, and measure and record patients' vital signs such as height, weight, temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. You may also be required to prepare and give injections and enemas, monitor catheters, dress wounds, and give alcohol rubs and massages. You may also clean and monitor medical equipment.

As evidence mounts of GOP connection to anti-Kerry Swift Boat Vets, Hume and Dole deny the obvious
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU, NICOLE CASTA & JEREMY CLUCHEY
On the August 25 edition of FOX News Channel's Special Report with Brit Hume, FOX News Channel managing editor and chief Washington correspondent Brit Hume said he was made to laugh by a New York Times graphic detailing links between the Republican Party and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that -- as Media Matters for America has exhaustively documented -- has engaged in a smear campaign against Senator John Kerry's record in Vietnam. And on the August 25 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, former Republican presidential candidate and regular CNN contributor Bob Dole falsely asserted, "[T]here isn't any tie" between President George W. Bush and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
Hume's and Dole's comments dismissing evidence of links between the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth came shortly after the occurrence of two events that add substantially to the evidence that such links exist: (1) the resignation of Benjamin Ginsberg as the chief outside counsel to the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign, after his ties to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were revealed; and (2) a letter issued by the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign echoed the charges leveled against Kerry by the second Swift Boat Vets ad.
Of all the ties The New York Times established in an August 25 article and graphic, none have been disputed. In fact, the article appeared to trigger Ginsberg's resignation just hours before Hume laughed off The New York Times' chart outlining the connections; while broaching the subject with the "FOX All-Star Panel" on the August 25 edition of Special Report, Hume said, "I read it. The chart made me laugh. I have to say it's a silly chart."
MMFA has learned something else from the chart. Tom Synhorst is identified as a partner in the political strategy firm DCI Group, which employs Chris LaCivita, whom the Times describes as a "media adviser" to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. In 2000, Synhorst's firm, under the name Feather, Hodges, Larson and Synhorst, was employed by the Bush campaign. According to a February 11, 2000, Washington Post article, the Synhorst company was implicated in alleged Bush campaign phone calls smearing Senator John McCain (R-AZ) during the South Carolina Republican presidential primary.
According to an August 25 Associated Press report, on the same day that Ginsberg resigned from the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign, Jerry Patterson, Texas state land commissioner and a Vietnam veteran, said that "someone from the Bush campaign contacted him Wednesday morning and asked him" if he would travel to Bush's Texas ranch to give former Democratic Senator Max Cleland (D-GA) a letter addressed to Kerry in response to Cleland's letter to President Bush protesting Swift Boat Veterans' ads attacking Kerry.
The Patterson letter, written by the Bush campaign (and signed by Patterson and seven other veterans), stated: "You [Kerry] can't have it both ways. You can't build your convention and much of your campaign around your service in Vietnam, and then try to say that only those veterans who agree with you have a right to speak up." The letter also echoed Swift Boat Vets' most recent ad, which attacked Kerry for speaking out against the war when he returned from his service in Vietnam. "You accused your fellow veterans of terrible atrocities and, to this day, you have never apologized. Even last night, you claimed to be proud of your post-war condemnation of our actions," the letter said.
As Media Matters for America has noted, when Kerry testified in 1971 before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in his capacity as spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), he did not "accuse" "fellow veterans of terrible atrocities"; rather, he related the stories of other Vietnam veterans who came home and testified to their personal experiences in what was known as the Winter Soldier Investigation, which VVAW had commissioned a few months earlier in Detroit, Michigan. And Kerry's testimony did not blame the soldiers who reported having committed atrocities in Vietnam. But, as FactCheck.org reported, the second Swift Boat Vets ad selectively edited Kerry's comments to distort what he said before the Senate committee: "The ad does indeed fail to mention that Kerry was quoting stories he had heard from others at an anti-war event in Detroit, and not claiming first-hand knowledge."
The Patterson letter is just the latest indication of a clear connection between Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and the Republican Party. In addition to that letter and the Synhorst link, there are several others:
Bob Perry, the Republican donor who has provided $200,000 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is a "longtime friend" of Bush's chief political aide, Karl Rove. Perry also gave $46,000 to Bush's political campaigns in 1994 and 1998 and $3 million to Texas Republicans during the 2002 elections. Patterson, the Texas land commissioner, has received more than $150,000 in campaign contributions from Perry. And, on August 23, The Dallas Morning News reported that Perry is listed as the co-host of a September 1 GOP fund-raiser in New York City and that "those on the invitation list include former President George Bush, presidential adviser Karl Rove and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay." [The New York Times, 8/20/04; Annenberg Political Fact Check, 8/6/04; The Dallas Morning News, 8/23/04 (subscription required)]
Susan Arceneaux, who helped set up Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and is listed as the contact person on the post office box the group uses as its address, is treasurer of the Majority Leader's Fund, "a political action committee affiliated with the former House majority leader Dick Armey of Texas. ... Records show that like Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group receives significant financing from Bob Perry." [The New York Times, 8/24/04]
Harlan Crow, who has provided $25,000 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is also the seventh-largest Republican donor in Texas and a trustee of the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation. [The New York Times, 8/20/04]
Merrie Spaeth, a public relations executive who has "helped coordinate the efforts of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth," was married to the late Tex Lezar, who was Bush's running mate during the 1994 Texas gubernatorial race. (The governor and lieutenant governor are elected separately in Texas; Bush won and Lezar lost.) Spaeth has also said she is close friends with Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), who is one of Rove's top clients. [The New York Times, 8/20/04]
Kenneth Cordier, who appeared in the second Swift Boat Veterans for Truth advertisement, was a member of the Bush-Cheney '04 National Veterans Steering Committee, an appointee to a Bush administration advisory committee, and vice chair of Veterans for Bush-Cheney '00. [MMFA, 8/25/04; The Washington Post, 8/22/04]
Margaret Wilson, who "became Mr. Bush's general counsel when he was governor of Texas and followed him to the White House as deputy counsel for the Department of Commerce," is also a partner in the law firm of John E. O'Neill, who leads Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. [The New York Times, 8/20/04]
Benjamin Ginsberg, "the Bush campaign's chief outside counsel, has also been giving legal advice to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group that is attacking Kerry." Ginsberg resigned from the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign on August 25. [Reuters, 8/24/04; The New York Times, 8/25/04]

Hi there
So far not much of a javaprogrammer so can´t the following to work, and hope you can help me.
I´m trying to run these 2 scripts at all times on this single page website www.openeye-design.no
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function() {
jcps.fader(300, '#switcher-panel');
<script type='text/javascript'>
$("#featured").tabs({fx:{opacity: "toggle"}}).tabs("rotate", 8000, false);
Works fine on pageload, but when navigating to another panel and back to the Welcome-page where the contentslider (#featured) is, the last script isn´t running. How can this be achieved?
I was thinking in line of an ONCHANGE og ONCLICK (clicking on the "WELCOME" menu item will activate my slider script.
Really appreciate all your help
I an not a Java programmer at all but II do know a fair bit of JavaScript - which is what that jQuery code is - it certainly isn't Java.
Have you tried combining the code inside of a single document.ready or simply moving the scripts to the bottom of the page and discarding the document.ready test completely?
Just tried your suggestions. Unfortunately no luck, but thanks for trying
Java and Javascript... to me it´s the same thing. No offense intended
So you'd wouldn't care whether someone put ham or hamsters in your sandwich for lunch if such totally different things are the same as far as you are concerned - since ham and hamsters are actually more colsoely related than Java and JavaScript are.
One further point - to be able to use jQuery you really need an intermediate level knowledge of JavaScript to be able to use it properly. You can get something to work with jQuery if you have a basic knowledge of JavaScript even though it will generally be somewhat messy and way more code than would really be needed. Trying to get jQuery to work without a basic knowledge of JavaScript is like trying to fly a commercial airliner when you don't even have a driver's licence.
Without a knowledge of JavaScript you are reliant on whoever wrote the script you are trying to use having written it in a way that will not conflict with the other scripts you are trying to use.
$(function() {
// Run the "fader" method on the #switcher-panel element
jcps.fader(300, '#switcher-panel');
// Bind the tabs plugin to the featured element
fx : {opacity: 'toggle'}
}).tabs('rotate', 8000, false);
Now to explain a little, the $(function() {}); code above is a shorthand declaration for the jQuery DOMReady method. There is 2 other ways of calling the DOMReady method but personally I don't recommend using this due to the syntax been longer and un-tidy, these methods can be seen below:
// This has been around since jQuery 1.0
$(document).ready(function() {});
// This can be seen used around the web but is not common
$().ready(function() {});
// This is the standard that should be used from now on
$(function() {});
You can see the variations between the two examples above are only slight but are ugly compared to use the shorthand declaration for the DOMReady method, in closing I would say again please ensure you learn a moderate level of JavaScript before you continue using jQuery as it will help in your future adventures with JavaScript.
I hear you... Can you recommend the best possible book/ressource to get me going on JavaScript? Given I´m a beginner
However the above didn´t do the trick either. So I will drop this until I get a better understanding about JS
I have lots of JS books, but to be fair they never really worked for me. I strongly recommend you use CodeAcademy to practice your code. It's quite fun and you can learn whilst you undergo challenges. There are around 60+ individual jQuery courses there, so it's packed with lots of fun!
On looking at your code you should only have 1 document.ready on the bottom. Don't include 2, as this will slow things down. There is also another site called codeschool.com. Just like many don't buys books any more for driving theory tests as everything is done interactively, same can be said for web programming. Enjoy and have fun learning!
Here is our sticky thread on JavaScript books that are worth considering - http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?660198-JavaScript-Books-Help

Pirate EscapeScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
A pirate is floating down a river in a modern sailboat after having just pillaged a small village upstream. The current is 3 knots with respect to the land. The wind is zero knots, with respect to the land. The pirate wants to proceed downriver as quickly as possible to avoid capture.
Should he raise the sails, or not?
AnswerHe should, since he can then tack into the wind.
If there is no wind relative to the land, but the boat is traveling 3 knots downriver due to the current, it's the same as if the boat is in still water with a 3-knot head wind.
Tacking is a way that a sailor can arrange the sails to sail almost directly into the wind. He could zig-zag down the river slightly faster than the current by using this technique. Hopefully those chasing him aren't so clever.

ASCO Annual Meeting
June 1, 2013
Results from a new study show that the drug selumetinib keeps metastatic (cancer that has spread) melanoma of the eye from worsening and lengthens patients' lives. Melanoma of the eye (also called uveal melanoma) is a rare cancer. Most patients with uveal melanoma are diagnosed when the cancer is located in the eye. But, the cancer eventually spreads outside of the eye to other parts of the body in about half of patients, and these patients usually live about nine to 12 months after diagnosis, so a drug that can lengthen patients' lives is a major breakthrough.
The current standard treatment is the drug temozolomide (Temodar), but its benefit is limited and new treatments have been needed. Selumetinib is a type of targeted therapy, a treatment that targets the cancer's specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival. In particular, selumetinib targets mutated (changed) Gnaq and Gna11 genes, which help the cancer grow. These gene mutations are found in 85% of patients with melanoma of the eye.
The 98 patients with metastatic melanoma of the eye participating in this study received either selumetinib or temozolomide (48 patients received selumetinib and 50 received temozolomide). During the study, patients who had their disease worsen while receiving temozolomide were able to switch to selumetinib. Researchers found that the tumors in 50% of patients shrank, with 15% of the patients who received selumetinib experiencing considerable tumor shrinkage, compared with none of the patients who received temozolomide.
In addition, it took almost four months for the disease to worsen for patients who took selumetinib, compared with almost two months for those who took temozolomide.
What this means for patients
"This study proves that inhibiting Gnaq and Gna11 mutations is effective, more than doubling the length of time it takes for the disease to worsen," said lead author Richard D. Carvajal, MD, a medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. "We're hopeful a drug like selumetinib will be commercially available in the near future; in the meantime, we must continue to steer patients towards clinical trials." If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, talk with your doctor for more information.
Dr. Carvajal was a recipient of a Conquer Cancer Foundation of ASCO Young Investigator Award in 2008 and a Career Development Award in 2010, which partially funded this study.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
- What type of eye cancer do I have?
- What is the stage? What does this mean?
- What is my prognosis (chance of recovery)?
- What are my treatment options?
- What clinical trials are open to me?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/11/2013 (1385 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When it came time on Tuesday to introduce the captains of his championship-contender team, Murdoch MacKay Clansmen football coach T.J. Lange didn't name names.
You see, he explained at a news conference for the 2013 Winnipeg High School Football League's final games, his squad is a family. They have to be that way, cobbling together a 38-player roster from a school of about 800 kids spread across four grades. Some guys have to do double-duty on defence and offence, and everyone's gotta pull their weight to stick in the WHSFL's top John Potter AAA division.
'The best competition brings out the best competitors, so that's where we wanted to be'-- Murdoch MacKay coach T.J. Lange
"We have these kids from when they're in Grade 9 or 10. We don't have a junior varsity team," Lange said, noting many other schools in the WHSFL's top division have a feeder team. "The little guys on the team are your little brothers, the big guys are the big brothers, and you look after each other."
Now, this band of brothers will face the fearsome St. Paul's Crusaders in the Anavets Bowl at Investors Group Field on Friday night, for a shot at the division title. The squad earned that right when they dispatched the Dakota Lancers in a tight 29-22 semifinal win last week. But the Crusaders are a different matter altogether: the St. Paul's team is ranked among the top 10 high school programs in the country. They were champions last year and the year before that.
What St. Paul's has: an all-around solid game plan, a stifling defence, a persistent attack and a running back in Alex Taylor who can explode out of space. It's sort of a classic Jack-meets-giant story for Murdoch MacKay.
"We love it, that's what we want," Lange said. "The best competition brings out the best competitors, so that's where we wanted to be. That was the plan at the start of the season. We had some bumps along the way but we got there."
See, the Clansmen have weapons too, a dazzling air show being the biggest one. Quarterback Drenin Busch racked up a staggering 1,937 passing yards and 17 touchdowns on 156 attempts through the season. His completion rate of 63.5 per cent led all starting pivots, and it surely helped that he has targets: the top three receivers in the division are all Clansmen. One of them, Kaanon Felix, hauled down 32 receptions for 654 yards and eight touchdowns to lead the league.
The last time these two teams met back on Oct. 11, the Crusaders shut down that attack and won 41-9, the most lopsided loss of the Clansmen's 4-3-1 season. Now, the Clansmen are a bunch of self-proclaimed Transcona boys hunting for redemption.
"It's unreal right now, I'm super excited," said Cam Duplin, 17, who plays both safety and wide receiver -- he was third in the league in receiving yards, with 509.
"There's nothing really to say about St. Paul's... they're a well-coached team and their defensive backs are taught really well how to stop what we have. We just have to trust in the players we have. We've picked up a lot of speed through the playoffs and hopefully that can get us a win this week."
THE DETAILS: The Murdoch MacKay Clansmen will face the St. Paul's Crusaders in WHSFL John Potter championship action Friday. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. at Investors Group Field. At 5 p.m., the St. Paul's Crusaders second team will take on the Garden City Fighting Gophers in the final of the WHSFL's AA Kas Vidruk division. Both AA teams ended the season with 6-2 records to lead the division.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Workers at the Brook Park Ford plant near Cleveland have approved a new contract that has guaranteed the facility a new product expected to keep it viable for years.
The Plain Dealer newspaper (http://bit.ly/13672BX ) reports that Ford officials will be at the plant on Thursday, likely to announce that a new fuel-saving four-cylinder engine will be manufactured there.
United Auto Workers Local 1250 President Mike Gammella tells the newspaper that the new pact could bring employment at the plant to 1,800 within a few years -- up from a little over 1,000 now. The contract was approved Monday.
Gammella says he expects about 200 people to be hired in the first round and more as Ford adds the small engine to other vehicles.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/9/2013 (1437 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Blue Note record label was known in its heyday for its stable of great jazz musicians, its string of successful recordings and its celebrated LP covers.
The label held an almost exalted place in the jazz world, and you couldn't consider yourself a fan without at least a few Blue Notes on your record shelf.
That legacy still looms large over the jazz scene, even as the label has been resurrected and offers new music by new artists.
Some of those great recording sessions will be celebrated Sept. 28 and 29 in the season-opening concerts of the Izzy Asper Jazz Performances series as trumpeter Brian Lynch and saxophonist Eric Alexander lead a quintet in the Best of the Blue Note.
The concerts also will be a rare pairing of pianist Xavier Davis and his brother Quincy, jazz drum professor at the University of Manitoba jazz faculty, with bassist and jazz studies director Steve Kirby rounding out the band.
Quincy says he hasn't had much chance to perform with Xavier since he began teaching here -- they played in trumpeter Tom Harrell's band together from 2001 to 2004 -- but the pianist did perform on the drummer's debut CD, Songs in the Key of Q, which he is releasing here on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Centre cultural franco-manitobain. Tickets are $20 ($10 for students).
The brothers have played in each other's bands often over the years.
"We hear music basically the same way because we grew up listening to the same stuff," Davis says.
And they'll return to their hometown of Grand Rapids, Mich., in January to accompany father Duane, a jazz vocal and choral educator, in concert.
There are many great Blue Note recordings to choose from, by the likes of Miles, Monk, Trane, Art Blakey, Wayne Shorter and McCoy Tyner, but the set list from the label that triumphed hard bop won't be decided until the band's first rehearsal, drummer Davis says.
A couple of Davis's favourite Blue Note albums are John Coltrane's Blue Train and Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil. There's no argument there, and with tenor saxophonist Alexander in the front line, they'd be good choices, and Lynch is a graduate of the jazz finishing schools known as Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and the Horace Silver Quintet.
Best of the Blue Note concerts will be held Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. and Sept. 29 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in the Berney Theatre at the Rady Jewish Community Centre. Tickets are $38 at radyjcc.com/ticketcentral or 204-477-7534.

Toronto drummer Nick Fraser first met New York saxophonist Tony Malaby in 1996 at a jazz workshop in Idaho, but it wasn't until 2012 in Toronto that he got his wish to record with him.
That collaboration is documented on the recently released Fraser CD, Towns and Villages, and will be presented live Sept. 25 at the West End Cultural Centre and Sept. 26 at Brandon's The Music Studio as part of a 10-city Canadian tour that starts this week.
"We also played together at the Banff Centre in 1999," Fraser says of Malaby. "He brings an intensity and openness to his music that is virtually unmatched in anyone I've worked with. He's really a very powerful musician.
"Since I first played with him, he's always been on my mind as a potential collaborator. I would write a melody and could imagine how Tony would play it, but I didn't make it happen until last year," Fraser adds.
The Nick Fraser Quartet includes Rob Clutton on bass and Andrew Downing on cello.
Cello is an infrequently used instrument in jazz, but that's no big deal for Fraser.
"Well, I tend to think of people before I think of their instruments, that is, it was more important to me to have Andrew and Rob than to have them play a specific instrument. My original idea was to have them both play bass, but once Andrew suggested the cello and I heard it, I realized it was perfect. For one thing, it allows Andrew to function both as a melodic/soloistic voice and as a member of the rhythm section.
"Also, if we had two basses, we'd need to rent two vans," he adds with the email equivalent of a laugh.
Most of the tracks on the album are credited to Fraser as composer, but the drummer adds: "In general, the interplay between the musicians is improvised. All the guys in the band are exceptional improvisers. My pieces give them fairly bare skeleton that they flesh out as they see fit. The great thing about working with musicians of this calibre is hearing the wonderful and varied things that they each bring to the music each night."

Despite late push, D-backs fall to Padres
Parra's late homer makes game close but isn't enough
SAN DIEGO -- As catcher Miguel Montero said, the D-backs have been in every game they have played.
Being close, though, does not count in the win column, and the frustrating losses are starting to pile up.
The most recent setback was a 7-6 loss to the Padres on Friday night at Petco Park.
The loss was the fourth straight by the D-backs, who were swept in a three-game series by the Giants at home before visiting San Diego.
"It is frustrating," Montero said. "It's tough. We're going through a tough stretch right now."
So is starter Wade Miley, who did not seem to have his good stuff for the second straight outing.
In his previous start, Miley walked seven in just 4 1/3 innings, but he did not allow a run. He was not as fortunate Friday.
Miley (2-1) allowed four runs on nine hits with three walks and four strikeouts in five innings Friday.
"Just one of those days, two [starts] in a row now," Miley said. "Just trying to battle. I felt all right, I just wasn't executing pitches. I've got to watch some video tomorrow and go from there."
The D-backs' offense gave Miley two leads, neither of which he was able to hold. Arizona led, 1-0, after Montero led off the second with a homer. After the Padres scored two in the bottom half of that inning, the D-backs scored twice more in the fourth to take a 3-2 lead.
That advantage vanished with one swing of Yonder Alonso's bat.
Alonso smacked a 2-2 fastball over the wall in right for a two-run homer in the fifth to put the Padres up, 4-3.
The homer by Alonso most likely would not have gone out under the previous dimensions of Petco Park, but the Padres moved the fences in by 11 feet in right field and lowered the wall to eight feet. Alonso's homer landed over the new wall and in front of what was the old right-field wall.
However, the D-backs were not about to complain, as Miley missed his spot trying to go down and away with the pitch and wound up leaving it up and over the plate.
"I think that ball deserved to be hit out," Montero said. "He put a good swing on it. Probably off the wall at this place last year, but realistically in any other place the ball is gone. He hit the ball good, and it was just a bad pitch and bad pitches deserve to be hit like that."
Location was an issue throughout the evening for Miley.
"His velocity was down; I was a little concerned about that," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "He said he felt fine, just really not able to locate as good as he wanted to; that's kind of the big thing."
Montero said he felt like Miley might have been overthinking on the mound and guiding his fastball rather than just throwing it, which could explain the drop in velocity.
"Sometimes today he was around 87 mph, so I think he was just trying to get a feel for it and trying to probably make the perfect pitch," Montero said. "He's not that type of guy. He's the type of guy that gets the ball and throws the ball and sees what happens."
The Padres continued to add insurance runs against the Arizona bullpen, with an RBI single by Kyle Blanks in the seventh and another two runs in the eighth to go up, 7-3.
As it turned out, every run would be crucial.
The D-backs put together a rally against the Padres' bullpen in the ninth after Montero led off the inning with a single and Eric Chavez drew a walk.
The Padres brought in closer Huston Street, and after retiring the first two batters he faced, he allowed a three-run homer to Gerardo Parra to close the gap to 7-6. But that was as close as the D-backs would get.
