Topic: One step forward - two steps back. Discouraging news.
Hello CC Family. Here is an update on our son, Jeff.
In our last post, we discussed our second surgical opinion with Dr. Rick Selby at USC. Dr. Selby wanted to do a PET/CT Scan to get additional information necessary for surgery.
Our PET/CT Scan results showed that Jeff's liver tumor has more than doubled in size since his prior MRI study 3 months ago. He has completed two rounds of Oxaliplatin and Xeloda. Obviously, this regime has not been effective for Jeff. It is as if the chemo nourished the stupid tumor! The tumor in his left lung has not changed but now there is a questionable finding in one of his lymph nodes.
We have an appointment set on Monday with our ONC at UCLA. We were supposed to start our 3rd round of chemo, but I suspect that the ONC will want to change the recipe a bit.
Dr. Selby arranged for an urgent consult with a thoracic surgeon at USC which is set for Tuesday. Our follow up with Dr. Selby is set for Friday along with an MRI of the billiary tree.
The PET/CT Scan results were a bit of a surprise to us because Jeff's symptoms and side effects have actually improved. He continues to be fatigued and has a nagging cough which seems to be his biggest complaint. We are not sure if the cough is related to the lung tumor or something else. His intermittent pain has actually improved.
In any event, Jeff continues to enjoy going to work everyday and does so with a smile on his face. He amazes me.
We knew this was an aggressive cancer, but for the liver tumor to more than double in size in a period of 3 months while on chemo, that's ridiculous! It's a good thing we had the PET/CT scan or we would have continued on the same chemo regime for another two rounds over 6 weeks while the tumor would have continued to grow.
Has anyone else seen this kind of tumor growth in such a short period of time while on chemo?
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our CCF friends and family. CCF is one of the things that we are most thankful for. Thank you CCF members for your love, support, information and personal stories.
Bob & Nancy

Smoak in question with oblique injury
SEATTLE -- First baseman Justin Smoak left in the eighth inning of the Mariners' 5-2 loss to the Rangers on Saturday night with what manager Eric Wedge called a strained oblique.
The Mariners' No. 5 hitter will be evaluated again before Sunday's series finale.
The injury apparently occurred during a check swing in the first inning against Rangers left-hander Derek Holland. He struck out looking, lined out in the third inning and then struck out swinging against Holland in the sixth. Endy Chavez pinch-hit for Smoak in the eighth.
"He didn't think that much of it, and then it didn't go away," Wedge said of Smoak's pain.
Smoak had reached base safely in 16 of 17 games with a .400 on-base percentage before his 0-for-3 Saturday. He has 17 hits in 24 games with a .418 on-base percentage since April 22.
Mike Morse moved from right field to first base to replace Smoak in the ninth inning.
Kendrys Morales has made nine starts at first base this season, second on the club to Smoak's 40.

A California newspaper is reporting that Peter Murphy was arrested for a DUI hit and run this morning. Beyond the tradegy of someone getting hurt I found some things reported funny and ironic. First off the king of goth drives a Subaru Forester? He also stated to Police he's on anti-depressants. As it's standard to say, "Let's hope he finds the help he needs.". The link to the full report is below.
"Inside the Los Angeles police patrol car where Murphy had been detained, officers reported finding a small plastic bag, possibly of methamphetamine, police said. Murphy denied the bag belonged to him, but officers said they believed he was trying to discard it in the patrol car." – glendalenewspress.com

The production similarity is damning because it was supposed to be better. They didn't risk chemistry and fanbase issues for "exactly the same". If the production is a matter of the situation then you just keep Granger because he can defend the post better than Paul and is twice the defender ET is, and you live with the offensive numbers.
For the ET deal to be a success his production, especially scoring, must be a substantial improvement. So far the 2 "swing for the fence" deals have gone tilt.
I do like that ET has had the better FG% but it really sucks not having the 3pt threat. The issue was that DG hadn't gotten dialed in from 3 either.

Q:Will this work if the 2 floors are 1/8" difference. My wood floor is 1/2" and tile is 3/8"
1 answer
A:Yes this molding will work for that. Thank you for your inquiry
Q:I have been told to use this as an expansion break in a floating engineered floor over concrete since the room has a 30' 2" span on one wall. How is it secured to the concrete which will have Bella Premium Underlayment on it?
1 answer
A:30' 2"? I don't think you need a T-molding.
Q:I will be placing Tobacco Road T-Molding where the tile in my bathroom floors will join the Tobacco Road Hardwood floors to be installed in the rest of my house. I will be installing new bathroom pocket doors before the Tobacco Road flooring is installed. I need to know how much above the top of flooring the T-Molding extends so I know how much to trim the bottom of the door so it will clear the T-Molding as it is opened and closed. I would like to keep the bottom of the door as close as possible to the top of the T-Molding without rubbing the top of the T-Molding. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
1 answer
A:The measurement is 5/16"
Q:I am buying the casa de colour tobacco road acacia and was curious about the t-molding, I need to put something at the doorway to transition to the hallway, which is a bamboo floor, but the dimensions on the t-molding are a bit odd based on the response to the person who inquired before. I simply need about the length of a typical doorway, about a bit over 2 feet and the width, I assume is like an inch or two? The response to the previous person, indicates an extreme width and length, almost like an area rug. What are the true dimensions?
1 answer
A:Prefinished Tobacco Road T-Molding- 5/8" (overall heightincluding leg of T) x 2" wide and is 6.5 lin ft long.
Q:What are the dimensions of the T-molding? Specifically, what is the width of the vertical piece of the T?
1 answer
A:The molding is 2"W x 7.5'L and the tongue is 1/2"W x 1/4" from the top
Q:How do I install this T-Molding? I have put down 4 3/4" x 3/4" Tobacco Rd, what size expansion space should I allow at the T Molding, 3/4" like around the room? Do I face nail the T Molding or is there a metal U-channel it snaps into like with Laminate molding?
1 answer
A:You should leave a 1" space for the T-molding to allow for expansion space between the two floors under the overlap. Depending on what floor you are butting up to you can glue it to the opposite side of the new floor or nail it into the other floor. You do not want to nail into the new floor, this will restrict the expansion and contraction of the wood.

WASHINGTON — Andy Foyil, a fifth-grade social studies teacher in Tulsa, Okla., is taking 30 students on a field trip to Washington this month. A White House tour was to be the highlight.
"Their faces just dropped," Foyil said as he described the reaction of 11-year-olds being told federal spending cuts will keep them out of America's most famous home. "The White House is always one of our hope-fors."
With spring vacations looming, popular destinations from Florida's Gulf Stream waters to California's redwood forest are implementing mandatory spending cuts, known as sequestration. The failure of Congress and President Barack Obama to agree on reducing the deficit triggered $85 billion in cuts by Sept. 30 that are to be split between defense and non-defense spending.
With Congress and the White House deadlocked, visitors to landmarks run by the National Park Service will confront longer lines, dirtier bathrooms and closed visitor centers.
Sequestration is causing federal facilities, particularly parks, to delay maintenance, freeze hiring, trim operating hours and cancel programs for school groups.
"Visitors will see a reduction in services," Dave Uberuaga, superintendent at Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, said in an email to holders of commercial use permits to operate in the park.
Grand Canyon's restrooms and campgrounds will be cleaned less often and repairs to damaged trails will take longer, Uberuaga said.
"We're undergoing our busiest season now," Cheryl Chipman, a spokeswoman for Death Valley National Park in California, said. While visitors won't see many immediate changes, Chipman said, that may change if spending reductions are sustained and vacant positions, including park electrician, aren't filled in coming months, when Death Valley becomes one of the Earth's hottest places.
"If we have problems with air conditioning and facilities at 120 degrees, that's going to be a problem," Chipman said.
At Yosemite National Park, officials are cutting a $28 million base budget by $1.4 million. Options include reducing or cutting ranger-led programs at sites, including the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias and Glacier Point, said Scott Gediman, a Yosemite spokesman.
"This is going to be phased in," he said. "The park is going to remain open. We're not looking at closing any facilities."
Tours of the White House were canceled this month, though Obama last week said he is seeking a way to resume them for school groups.
Visitor centers at Acadia National Park in Maine and Cape Cod National Seashore in Massachusetts will delay opening or reduce operating hours. Acadia, which is losing $390,000 from its $7.8 million budget for the year ending Sept. 30, may not open its center until mid-May, a month later than usual, Len Bobinchock, deputy superintendent, said in a phone interview.
Cape Cod plans to reduce hours at the Province Lands visitor center and may close the facility, which hosts about 260,000 tourists a year, said Superintendent George Price. A National Park Service statement last year showed visitors to the seashore and surrounding areas spent more than $171 million in 2010, supporting about 2,000 jobs in Massachusetts.
"Our economic footprint here on Cape Cod is pretty significant," Price said.
A hiring freeze at Padre Island National Seashore, which stretches for 70 miles along the Gulf of Mexico south of Corpus Christi, Texas, will trim the patrol force to 9 officers from 11, Joe Escoto, park superintendent said.
Federal budget cuts put animal life in jeopardy. The endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtle lives near Padre Island and park rangers usually find turtle eggs and transfer them to incubators to shield them from tides, predators and tourists driving on the beach. If sequestration persists and leads to fewer beach patrols, it may hurt the turtle population, Escoto said.
At Biscayne National Park south of Miami, officials have canceled environmental-education camps through Sept. 30, upending the plans of about 50 students, said assistant superintendent Sula Jacobs.
Aside from canceling White House tours, sequestration has spared most of Washington's tourist destinations. The Smithsonian Institution plans to keep the doors open at its 19 museums and galleries, cutting $40 million, or 5 percent of its federal funding. The Smithsonian will delay maintenance, freeze hiring and reduce the use of contractors, according to Linda St. Thomas, a Smithsonian spokeswoman.
Elsewhere in the capital, spending cuts are starting to take a toll. The National Archives, which displays and preserves the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, is reducing evening hours. The National Gallery of Art is weighing occasional closures if sequestration extends into June, Deborah Ziska, a gallery spokeswoman, said in an interview.
Visiting school students may soon get a reprieve. Obama said he is asking the Secret Service to find a way to resume the White House tours.
"What I'm asking them is, 'Are there ways for us to accommodate school groups who may have traveled here?'" he said in an interview broadcast on ABC's "Good Morning America" broadcast. "Who may have traveled here with some bake sales, can we make sure that kids potentially can still come to tour."
Foyil, who will be leading his 25th spring trip to Washington March 16-19, says the president's effort may by be too late. He turned disappointment into a lesson for his Eliot Elementary School students, who in class are learning about the Constitution.
He told them: "I want you all to understand that what happens in Washington, D.C., does affect your life."

All weekend it has rained welcome rain. The summer harvests of eggplant and cucuzza squash piled up on the kitchen counters, along with tomatoes and farm eggs and chickens that lived their life on the ground in the open air. This weekend we would feast from the harvest.
My little island, l'isola da Cevola, is my retreat back to a piece of nature where there is no poison. The local government, spraying this week for West Nile virus, worried me. My Hoja Santa crop is ready to harvest a load this week. But the trucks spraying God knows what concerned me. Three days of rain have lessened my apprehension.
This has been a fine summer for my little enclave of nature, this isola with a little lago and all the bees and frogs and owls and sparrow hawks convene over and in this welcome spot of peace and simplicity. Even the lost parrots, who go quite insane in the winter when the climate dips below their threshold of acceptability, right now are flying overhead with none of the worries of the below zero weather some day to come.
The rosemary, when it was planted in the ground, did nothing. Too wet. So I put it in a planter and it turned into a tree. It has branched out into the swan planter, someday to be moved and improved to the other side of the garden.
The figs, long gone, as are the mockingbirds that feasted for weeks, will soon lose its leaves. My Sardinian fig tree.
This has not been a great year for jalapeno peppers in the garden. A small handful of them came this year. Maybe they missed not having the pequins as next door neighbors.
As usual, the basilico thrived, and often we took tender leaves for the dinner table.
Last night we had the cucuzza with the chicken and some tomatoes, pasta and basilico in a dish that was unbelievably delicious.
The winter garden is transitioning from fennel and the bitter lettuce to arugula. In October, I will add more winter lettuce and radicchio to the plot.
The garlic this year was tiny but potent. It had a flavor that I have never had from any garlic. The terroir of l'isola da Cevola. Who knows? Maybe it was the full moon at midnight harvesting.
The compost bin is full, and after the last of the Hoja Santa is harvested for Paula and Mitchell at the Mozzarella Company, we will start preparing that part of the garden with more organic compost.
Two days of living in my little world of nature does wonders for me. With the world raging toward incivility outside of this little enclave, it is a spot of heaven that renews my will to go out into the world and wage my daily battles.
And how about you, dear reader? How do you connect to the natural world all around you? Are you in the country? A big city? On an island? In Italy? Or India? What in your world is going on right now?

Jensen one of young Marlins sent down
JUPITER, Fla. -- Kyle Jensen belted the game-winning, two-run home run in the ninth inning on Tuesday, but on Wednesday morning, the slugger was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans.
The Marlins' decision was made before Jensen's dramatic shot to beat the Red Sox, 5-4, on Tuesday in Fort Myers, Fla. Jensen was one of 12 players sent down in the first wave of cuts, leaving 56 in camp.
Before heading to Minor League camp, Jensen gained some notice by displaying the power that he has exhibited throughout his professional career. Although he is now preparing to open the season at New Orleans, Jensen could make his way back to the big leagues, if he produces.
"This guy has a got a lot of pop," manager Mike Redmond said. "He's hit a ton of home runs in the Minor Leagues. I think it was fun to finally see that translate in an at-bat in the big leagues.
"A guy with a bat like that, if he hits, you'll find a spot for him. The more options he has defensively, the better. For us and for him as well."
Jensen has 101 career Minor League home runs, including 28 last year between Double-A Jacksonville and New Orleans. He's primarily been used in the outfield. The Marlins want Jensen to also work at first base.
"We've talked all spring about versatility and moving guys around at different positions," Redmond said. "He's going to continue to work at first base as well."
Along with Jensen, the Marlins also sent down several of their projected starting rotation at Jacksonville, including Justin Nicolino, Anthony DeSclafani, and Jose Urena.
Michael Brady was optioned to New Orleans. Angel Sanchez, Urena, Brent Keys, Grant Dayton and J.T. Realmuto were optioned to Jacksonville.
DeSclafani, Nicolino, Jesus Sanchez, Colby Suggs and Avery Romero were reassigned to Minor League camp.

The Day Ahead: Sell First and Revisit Later
After pondering the market's state this weekend, my conclusion is that the "sell first and revisit later thesis" is not dead in the water just yet. Even if the propensity to panic sell has temporarily subsided, investors are worried about being rocked again. In many respects, investors' psyches were damaged a week ago. To repairit would require a whole bunch of sequences to develop that don't appear probable in the short term.

Amprenavir will no longer be available in the U.S. after March, 2008. If you are currently using amprenavir, you should call your doctor to discuss switching to another treatment.
Amprenavir liquid should not be used by infants or children younger than 4 years of age, pregnant women, patients with liver or kidney failure, or patients taking disulfiram (Antabuse) or metronidazole (Flagyl). Amprenavir liquid should only be used when you cannot take amprenavir capsules or other antiretroviral agents. If you are using the liquid, but believe you could take capsules, you should speak to your doctor.
Amprenavir is used in combination with other antiretroviral medications to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Amprenavir belongs to a class of drugs called protease inhibitors, which slow the spread of HIV infection in the body.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Amprenavir comes as a capsule and liquid to take by mouth. It is usually taken twice a day. Amprenavir may be taken with or without food. However, avoid taking amprenavir with high-fat foods or high-fat meals. The amount of drug in amprenavir capsules is not the same as the amount in amprenavir liquid. Do not switch between amprenavir capsules and amprenavir liquid unless your doctor tells you how many amprenavir capsules or how much amprenavir liquid you should take. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take amprenavir exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Amprenavir is not a cure and may not decrease the number of HIV-related illnesses. Amprenavir does not prevent the spread of HIV to other people. Continue to take amprenavir even if you feel well. Do not stop taking amprenavir without talking to your doctor.
Before taking amprenavir,
Do not take vitamin E supplements if you are taking amprenavir. Amprenavir capsules and solutions contain vitamin E and you do not need to take additional vitamin E to meet the daily requirement for this vitamin.
If you miss a dose by less than 4 hours, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. If you miss a dose by more than 4 hours, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Amprenavir may cause hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Call your doctor immediately if you have any of the following symptoms:
If high blood sugar is not treated, a serious, life-threatening condition called diabetic ketoacidosis could develop. Call your doctor immediately if you have any of the these symptoms:
Amprenavir may cause other side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
It is important that you do not run out of your supply of amprenavir or other antiviral medications because the amount of HIV in your blood may increase if you stop taking them. When your supply of amprenavir is low, make sure you contact your doctor or pharmacist for a refill.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your response to amprenavir.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais stepped up his fundraising this summer, but his Republican opponent managed to bring in even more, according to figures released by the campaigns Tuesday.
DesJarlais, R-South Pittsburg, raised $113,249 between July 1 and Sept. 30, three times more than his take in the three preceding months. But state Sen. Jim Tracy, R-Shelbyville, brought in $181,721, padding his financial advantage over the incumbent congressman.
Tracy finished the quarter with $767,000 in his campaign account, while DesJarlais finished with $171,000, according to representatives of the campaigns.
DesJarlais has faced an uphill climb in his bid for a third term representing the 4th Congressional District, which stretches from Rutherford County to the Chattanooga suburbs.
The physician rode the tea party wave to a surprise victory in 2010. He held on to win re-election in 2012 despite the disclosure late in the campaign that the pro-life congressman had dated at least two patients and urged one of them to seek an abortion after she told him she was pregnant with his child.
Soon after the election, a court released filings from his 2001 divorce that showed DesJarlais had backed his former wife in having two abortions.
The disclosures have prompted much of the Tennessee Republican establishment to back Tracy, who was first elected to the state legislature in 2004. That has given Tracy an edge in fundraising.
Nonetheless, Robert Jameson, a spokesman for the DesJarlais campaign, described its fundraising take as "a good quarter." He also took a swipe at Tracy for hosting a constituent breakfast days before he announced his congressional campaign in January.
"Sen. Tracy has certainly been campaigning full time and has taken advantage of his special interest connections," Jameson said. "However, he is going to need all the money he can get if his plan is to buy this election with $100,000 pancake breakfasts."
Tracy's campaign touted that it had received contributions from 495 individual donors in the third quarter and defended the breakfast.
"The pancake breakfast was for my constituents in the five counties I represent as a Tennessee state senator," he said. "It was successful in that we collected more than eight bins of Toys for Tots. We plan to host the breakfast again this year, because we will be able to help more Middle Tennessee families during Christmas."
Alexander results
Separately, U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander's campaign disclosed that he raised $837,857 for his re-election campaign this summer. The two-term Republican senator finished the quarter with $2.8 million in the bank.
Alexander's primary opponent, state Rep. Joe Carr, R-Lascassas, announced Wednesday that his campaign brought in $52,000 in the third quarter. The Carr campaign finished the quarter with about $285,000 in cash.
Hillary Pate, a Carr spokeswoman, said he had been focused on building grass-roots support for his campaign.
"I'm confident we will have a stellar fourth quarter," Pate said.

text: Some strange state items sighted April 20, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Since the West Virginia Legislature's response to the call to pass meaningful gun control laws in wake of the shootings in Newtown, Conn., was to pass five new pro-gun bills, I wasn't shocked that our elected officials also thought the time was ripe to name an official state firearm.Taking its place beside the official state soil (Monongahela silt loam) and the official state fossil (megalonyx jeffersonii, or giant tree sloth) is West Virginia's new official state firearm, the Hall Model 1819 flintlock rifle.While I believe the tire iron would have more widespread appeal as West Virginia's official state weapon, the Hall Model 1819 flintlock takes its place atop the Statehouse mantel with the nation's other official state weapons -- the Browning M1911 pistol (Utah), the Colt single-action Army revolver (Arizona), and the Grouseland rifle (Indiana).While having official state firearms, soils and fossils may seem a little strange to me, I have learned that there are a number of equally strange official state items that go far beyond the standard state trees, birds and flowers.Take official state beverages, for instance. In Ohio, the state beverage is tomato juice, though I've never driven past a tomato juice stand in the Buckeye State, while in Nebraska, the officially designated drink is Kool-Aid -- no flavor specified.In Utah, the official state snack food is Jell-O, while in South Carolina, it's boiled peanuts and in Texas, it's tortilla chips and salsa.In Maryland, the official state dessert is the Smith Island Cake, which contains up to 15 tiers of cake interspersed with layers of frosting, crème, and crushed candy bars. The official state exercise of Maryland is walking, an activity presumably designated to work off servings of Smith Island Cake. Delaware doesn't just have a state insect, it has on official state macroinvertebrate -- the stonefly. Both Texas and Oklahoma have official state flying mammals, and in each state it is the Mexican free-tailed bat.Official state muffins exist in Minnesota (blueberry), Massachusetts (corn) and New York (apple -- as in the Big Apple?), and official state nuts are designated in Alabama (pecan) and Oregon (hazelnut).Speaking of Oregon, the state of my birth last week designated what I presumed to be the nation's most obscure official state item -- the microbe. Saccharomyces cerevsiae, better known as ale yeast, is now the official microbe of the state supporting the nation's highest per capita number of craft breweries.It turns out that Wisconsin had the germ for that idea first, designating the lactococcus lactis bacterium, used in cheese-making, that state's official microbe a year before Oregon took the plunge into the Petri dish.If West Virginia gets around to designating its own official state bacterium, may I suggest methanobrevibacter smithii, better known in recent years as the "obesity microbe." It eats the hydrogen produced by other gut-dwelling microorganisms, allowing the body to absorb more calories from food.But a more familiar choice may be the bacterium listeria, which finds a home in poorly cooked hot dogs. In a state with an abundance of gas station hot dog racks, this microbe could be a shoo-in.But I make no official endorsement.It's just a germ of an idea.

All the herbs used in Ricola products are organically cultivated in the Swiss mountains Ricola AG is one of the most modern and innovative manufacturers of herb cough drops in the world. Ricola exports nearly 30 different ranges of herb drops and teas to over 50 countries. The family-run company has its headquarters in Laufen, near Basel, Switzerland. Subsidiary companies are located in Italy, the UK, Asia and the USA. Founded in 1930 by Emil Richterich, the company is still under family ownership. Executive board president and third generation family member Felix Richterich directs the fortunes of the company today. This is why Ricola values high quality basic ingredients, in particular the herbs, which are cultivated in the Swiss mountains using organic farming methods. Ricola AG is also committed to economically, socially and ecologically sustainable company management. As a major employer of over 400 employees it takes its corporate responsibilities seriously. Traditional values of a family-run enterprise coupled with Swiss quality and a passion for innovation define the success of the Ricola global brand. Incidentally, the name Ricola is an abbreviation of the company's original name Richterich & Co., Laufen. Ricola Company Values You could call it uncompromising, but we stay focused when quality, ecology and social responsibility are on the agenda. Ricola's quality commitment Uncompromising excellent quality is the basic standard for all company decisions and practised company-wide. High quality basic ingredients are naturally a priority for Ricola. This includes careful processing methods to produce the different herb specialties. Herbs are therefore cultivated in the Swiss mountains using organic farming methods. No Ricola herb farmer uses pesticides or herbicides to cultivate the herbs. This has been our practice for decades: Ricola relied on organic farming long before it became fashionable. Ricola pays particular attention to the quality and natural condition of other basic ingredients and uses no artificial colorings or flavorings. At Ricola, business success is not an end in itself. Instead, the company uses its success as an incentive to act responsibly towards all employees, society and the environment. Our company adheres to social values alongside profit-making considerations. This motivates our commitment to maintaining and supporting cultural values and charitable projects. History The history of the traditional Swiss family company, Ricola, has its beginnings in the 1930s. 1930s In 1930, master baker Emil Richterich founds the confectioners Richterich & Compagnie in his native town of Laufen, a rural town near Basel, Switzerland. Together with his employees, he starts developing a series of herb drop specialties that are sold around the region. 1940s In 1940, Emil Richterich first creates the famous Ricola herb mixture for the Swiss Original herb cough drop still in production today. The unique square-shaped herb cough drop and well-balanced taste of natural medicinal herbs becomes the iconic product that is responsible for the global success of Ricola Ltd. 1950s In 1951, to meet the increased demand for its herb drop specialties, Emil and his wife Rosa Richterich relocate their family and company to a new location just outside Laufen. At the same time they also stop production at the bakery in the old town of Laufen. 1960s Excellent sales on the Swiss market motivate the risk of launching abroad. The Ricola original herb cough drop in particular is a sales hit. Germany becomes the most important export market but the Ricola herb drop soon becomes just as popular in other European countries. In 1967, Emil Richterich and his sons Hans Peter and Alfred found Ricola Ltd. That same year, a new factory is set up in Laufen for fully automated production and packing of Ricola original herb cough drops. 1970s Ricola expands its distribution worldwide during the 1970s. Asian markets such as Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore are added. The first steps are also taken to launch in the USA. Ricola introduces more ranges of herb specialties such as herb tea and the sugar-free herb Breath Mints. New flavors such as Lemon Mint and Orange Mint win more customers for Ricola herb drops. Company founder Emil Richterich dies in 1973. His sons Hans Peter and Alfred take over the company's management. While Hans Peter Richterich manages the company as partner and director, Alfred Richterich focuses on the company's cultural activities. 1980s Early on, Ricola is keen to embrace organic farming methods. After intensive trials, the company decides to support organic cultivation in Switzerland and to this end commences long-term purchase contracts with Swiss mountain farmers. In 1983, herb producers set up the ArGe consortium of herb farmers in Switzerland, comprised of regional cooperatives. Ricola's contractual guarantees for the purchase of the herbs play a major role in the founding and success of this organization. In 1983, the redevelopment by Herzog & de Meuron of the residential and factory premises in Laufen, in use since 1967, is the first in a series of commissions by Ricola AG for the globally active architects studio. Ricola launches the new sugar-free herb drops in a practical, small pocketsize pack. A new era dawns: From now on, consumers can enjoy herb drops on the go! Founding the first Ricola USA, Inc. subsidiary is the basis for the successful sales of Ricola Herbal Cough Drops in the USA and Canada. 1990s In 1991, Felix Richterich is the family's third generation to assume responsibility for the company's management. Ricola AG continues to grow, spurred on by its expanding international activities and new additions to the range of herb specialties. Ricola Europe SA, located in Mulhouse-Brunstatt (France), opens in 1993. This factory and distribution center, also designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron, packs the herb drops for the European market. But the herb drops continue to be exclusively produced in Switzerland. 2000 until today Adrian Kohler, already working for the company for many years, becomes the new CEO of Ricola Ltd. Felix Richterich remains an active part of the company as President and Executive Board member, supported by his brother, Lukas Richterich, as Executive Board Vice President. In 2006, Ricola Ltd in Laufen opens a new factory for the production of herb drops. This state-of-the-art- facility with integrated process control system meets the latest technical requirements for pharmaceutical and food production. The old factory has since been renovated and is now used as a packing center. Ricola's international status continues to grow: New subsidiaries are founded in Italy, Hong Kong and England. In addition to the Ricola herb drops, the company launches new products such as soft herb pastilles, chewing gum and herb tea bags. These complete the Ricola range. Ricola Ltd starts the Ricola Foundation in 2010. This non-profit foundation is Ricola's contribution to research and preservation of natural cultivation processes and our cultural heritage. The first major project supported by the Ricola Foundation is COLOSS, a scientific network for research into the global losses of honeybee colonies. Today over 400 employees work for Ricola worldwide. Ricola products are available in more than 50 countries in Europe, Asia and North America. Ricola's commitment to innovation is ongoing. Examples are new flavors in the herb drop range, such as Cranberry, Sea Berry or Verbena as well as Ricola tea bags or the new Dual Action cough and throat drop. Ricola is among the top 20 Swiss brands The excellent reputation of the Ricola brand is now well known outside Switzerland. It is no surprise that Ricola is among the top 20 best-known Swiss brands. Multi-award winning and an excellent reputation Ricola is a genuine Swiss company and global brand. The annual brand study published by the Young & Rubicam group 2010 also confirmed that Ricola ranks proudly among the top 20 Swiss brands. Ricola has received many awards in recent years, including the "Most Trusted Brand" award from Reader's Digest readers in 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008 and the "Swiss Star" award of the Swiss Packaging Institute. The food magazine also nominated Ricola as "Top Brand in 2008". Ricola also a "Most Trusted Brand" in 2011 Reader's Digest analyzes the most trusted brands in 16 European countries. In Switzerland alone, over 1,600 consumers participated. Ricola achieved the highest trust rating, the same as for the 2008, 2009 and 2010 consumer surveys, and was chosen as "Most Trusted Brand 2011" for the confectionery product category. Brand Asset Valuator The Young & Rubicam Group has presented the new brand asset valuator. The largest brand study in Switzerland shows that in times of crisis the Swiss revert to their traditional values and virtues. The most comprehensive brand analysis in Switzerland compiles a database of over 1,100 brands and carries out nearly 1,000 detailed surveys via the GfK market research institute. The study was launched in 1995 and has been carried out annually since 2006. The 20 most influential brands include many traditional Swiss brands such as Rivella, Lindt, Gruye`re or Ricola. Only a handful of international brands such as Coca-Cola, Ikea or Nivea can compete against the Swiss power brands. Knorr and Magnum are new additions to the list. Swiss Packaging Institute award 2008 / public prize The Ricola herb cough drop drum is a favorite packaging with the Swiss. On 18 November 2008, at the Pack&Move trade show in Basel, the winners of the 2008 public prize were announced. The canpeel™ recloseable drum, submitted by the company O. Kleiner AG, was a clear winner with 335 votes. The proud winner was awarded a SWISS STAR for its innovative packaging solution.

Ricola achieved the highest trust rating, the same as for the 2008 consumer survey, and was chosen as the "Most Trusted Brand 2010" in its product category.

Bucs' work on pickoffs paying off this spring
BRADENTON, Fla. -- It could be the Pirates' next marketing slogan:
"Come See Our Guys Pick Off -- and Tick Off -- Their Guys."
Putting on display what they have spent so much time preaching and practicing, Buccos pitchers have been pickoff-crazy through the first half of the exhibition season. The unofficial count is eight -- three more than in all of the 2012 season.
Such execution has been the spring's biggest reward for manager Clint Hurdle -- who opened camp sworn to address the struggles of last season, when opponents were successful on 154 of 173 stolen-base attempts.
"It's shown them they're reaping the benefits of the hard work they've put into it," Hurdle said. "You're always happy when your early work transfers into game execution. They're starting to talk about it among themselves, and that can have even more impact."
Pitchers from Gerrit Cole to Jeff Locke have had a hand in it, but the leader with two pickoffs is none other than A.J. Burnett, which is significant for two reasons: One, Burnett virtually took the mound last season with a "Go Ahead, Steal" sign on his back; two, seeing the ace buy into this new approach so totally has to influence the whole staff.
"I know they're gonna run on Burnett," said the man himself, "so any little thing I can do to get better, it'll help this team get better. So I'm all in. We've been very monotonous about it, working on it daily, but I've shown twice so far that it does help."

Brewers scanning market, won't force deals
MILWAUKEE -- With the non-waiver Trade Deadline coming on Thursday, Brewers general manager Doug Melvin is perusing the list of available players, but he feels no urgency to just make a deal.
"I've been pretty aggressive as far as contacting teams," said Melvin. "I've been doing it for over a week now. There's just not the so-called availability without asking for people we don't want to give up."
Although Melvin would not specify what areas he was seeking to address, the chance of a blockbuster trade such as the one that brought pitcher CC Sabathia to fuel the Brewers' drive to a postseason berth in 2008 is unlikely.
"I don't always think one player separates teams," said Melvin. "The rest of the team still has to play well. You're going to have games where you have good starting pitching for seven innings, and if you don't hold the lead or don't score runs [it doesn't matter]. ... There's probably one or two players who could be difference makers, and the others just provide you the depth. They fill a small hole or a small gap or may be an incremental improvement."
The number of teams still in contention for a Wild Card spot also affects the number of players on the trade market, Melvin said.
"These teams that might only be five or six games out, they still have a chance because the teams ahead of them could lose a key player to injury," he said.
And injury is the one thing that could drastically change the trading landscape, Melvin said. In the tightly contested National League Central, St. Louis sustained a huge blow when All-Star catcher Yadier Molina sustained a right thumb injury that is expected to sideline him for 8 to 12 weeks. And just when the Reds had crept back into the race, their lineup was depleted by injuries to Brandon Phillips and Joey Votto.
"You don't wish that upon anybody, but there are more injuries today than ever," Melvin said. "Cincinnati's probably been hurt as much as anybody with injuries. Missed [Aroldis] Chapman at the start of the year, [Mat] Latos at the start of the year, then with Phillips and Votto. They've probably had more injuries than anybody."

Back in November 2013, the National Institute of Animal Agriculture (NIAA) hosted a symposium titled "Bridging the Gap between Animal Health and Human Health," intended as a multi-stakeholder forum for discussion on the use of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance and a path forward for animal agriculture focused on a commitment to long-term animal health and human health.
The conference brought together representatives from veterinary medicine, human medicine, pharmaceutical companies, livestock production, consumer groups and food retailers. This week, NIAA released a white paper summarizing the discussions that took place throughout the conference.
"Having a tug-of-war of human versus agricultural use of antibiotics doesn't advance a solution says Nevil Speer, PhD, Western Kentucky University, and a member of the symposium planning committee. "This paper underscores the importance of taking a 360-degree view and addressing antibiotic resistance from an all-inclusive, science based perspective."
Some key messages from the symposium, as outlined in the white paper, include:
- The science behind the emergence, amplification, persistence and transfer of antibiotic resistance is highly complex and open to interpretation—and sometimes misinterpretation—from a wide variety of perspectives and misuse.
- The extremely complex relationship between animal health, human health and environmental health is driven by two premises: 1) Antimicrobial resistance is a naturally occurring phenomenon that is present with or without the use of antimicrobials; and 2) Anytime an antibiotic enters the ecosystem, it has the potential to contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance.
- Antibiotic resistance is not just a U.S. challenge; it's an international issue that requires a strategic global One Health approach.
- Evaluating antimicrobial resistance involves balancing risks vs. needs while constantly recognizing the importance of maintaining an efficacious arsenal of human antibiotics.
- New tools that address food animal infectious diseases must be developed, whether they are in the field of prevention or new molecules for therapeutics.
- Research studies and findings are often viewed through different lenses. Individuals can look at the same study and interpret the study very differently from each other based on their understanding of the science as well as their values and beliefs.
- Decisions and policy should be grounded in science, and policy should be based on science. The question, however, is who decides what should be considered when making those decisions and policies. For effective interventions to complex problems, the solutions should be developed by including a broad representation of relevant stakeholders and their sometimes-competing perspectives and values.
- Significant efforts are being led by the public health community to reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing in human health and reduce hospital-acquired infections. Agriculture needs to be open to change as well.
NIAA plans to continue to provide leadership on the issue and establish a platform to develop further collaboration toward science-based solutions for antibiotic resistance. "Antibiotic resistance is a comprehensive issue and doesn't derive from any single source," the authors note. "As such, it is best addressed from a systems-based approach that strives to close gaps of misunderstanding and avoid implementing impetuous remedies that may produce meaningless solutions.
