Topic: Mom with CC and stroke
Hi Everyone,
Rob's Mom was diagnosed with inoperable CC in mid-June '07 and has completed 16 weeks of combination chemotherapy. Her CT scan approx. 10 weeks ago showed no growth of the intrahepatic tumors, yet no shrinkage either. Yesterday AM she was at the emergency room with symptoms of a left-sided stroke and is now undergoing more diagnostic test (location, severity, prognosis, etc) as I write this note. She had been tired yet able to be quietly active at home this past week - she even wanted to prepare the Thanksgiving turkey this week. So, it was out of the blue for us that a stroke occurred. So this is my general question - Has anyone had experience with ischemic strokes (clot blocking vessels- not bleeding) with treatment for CC? In the ER they informed us chemotherapy did not cause the stroke. Her blood counts have been low at times including platelets yet, they did say she experienced a clot to vessels of the left side of the brain - not bleeding. we would really appreciate any information available. Thanks

There's something funny going on with Google Maps right now: it doesn't work with Windows Phone. At all. If one tries accessing it, they instead get redirected to www.google.com/m every time, regardless of browser settings. Even if IE10 is set to work in Desktop mode, the same thing happens and it does so when various other settings are tried, such as setting the user agent to Firefox.
However, if it's accessed via the iPhone, the user is initially prompted to install an app for it. If that is rejected, then Google Maps can be accessed normally. Also, if an Android phone is used, it just works and the same goes for a desktop PC running Windows, Mac OS X or Linux. Only Windows Phone is broken. It's not yet clear whether this is somehow a technical glitch of some kind, or if it's deliberate. However, a few things point to this being a deliberate block intended to significantly degrade the user experience with Windows Phone. Firstly, Google has previously stated that it won't develop any apps for Windows Phone to allow it to access their services, then Google dropped Microsoft's Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) support which will kick in later this month. Then we had the YouTube incident back in 2011 where Microsoft alleged that Google deliberately prevented access to their metadata, scuppering Microsoft's ability to create a high quality application.
Finally, we have potentially the most damning evidence of all from the forum user quoted below, who reckons it's definitely deliberate. This user discovered that changing part of the identification string from "Windows Phone 8.0" to "Windows Phne 8.0" (deliberately misspelling "phone" restored full Google Maps functionality. No doubt the dirt is going to fly over this one.
The impression I get is that all the enemies that Microsoft has made over the years with their expensive licensing and restrictive practices are really starting to come back to bite them, since they don't seem to get much cooperation from other industry players outside of their core market of Windows (including Server) and Office and none of these other products are doing especially well, except for Xbox.
From a comment on this article by gmlongo:
"It is definitely on purpose. If you change the user agent in Firefox (using User Agent Switcher) to "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows Phone 8.0; Trident/6.0; ARM; Touch; IEMobile/10.0", you get redirected to the Google home page. But if you set the user agent to "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows Phne 8.0; Trident/6.0; ARM; Touch; IEMobile/10.0″ (notice I intentionally misspelled Windows Phone), the maps.google.com page comes up just fine. In other words, the only way I was able to get it to redirect is to have Windows Phone in the user agent string. So something on Google's side is keying off the user agent for windows phone"

Cubs keep victory in resumption of protested game
Turner allows run; Rizzo's homer stands up after two-day delay
CHICAGO -- Anthony Rizzo's home run Tuesday night held up Thursday.
After more than six hours of rain delays, a full day, a protest and a ruling, Rizzo's two-run home run in the first inning Tuesday was enough to give the Cubs a 2-1 victory over the Giants in a game completed Thursday.
Let's go back to the beginning. The Cubs and Giants played 4 1/2 innings Tuesday when a sudden downpour stopped play. The Wrigley Field grounds crew had difficulty putting the tarp on, and the infield was soaked. When the rain did stop, the crew tried to repair the damage, but the field was determined unplayable, and the game was called after a four-hour, 34-minute delay.
The Cubs led, 2-0, after 4 1/2 innings but the Giants protested, and Major League Baseball announced Wednesday that the game would resume in the bottom of the fifth. MLB cited Rule 4.12 (a)(3), blaming a "malfunction of a mechanical device under control of the home club."
The start of Thursday's game was scheduled for 4:05 p.m. CT but that was delayed 1:57 by rain, so the official delay time was 6:31. There were no tarp problems Thursday.
The Cubs wanted this win, and it had nothing to do with where they are in the standings.
"I'd be lying to you if I didn't tell you that we wanted to close it out, especially since everybody tried to do everything possible to get it in," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said.
The Cubs took the 2-0 lead in the first on Rizzo's 29th home run off starter Ryan Vogelsong. On Thursday, Yusmeiro Petit took over for the Giants and struck out the first five batters he faced.
Chicago's Jacob Turner started the Giants' sixth and retired the first two batters. Adam Duvall then doubled and scored on pinch-hitter Joe Panik's single.
With the resumption of the suspended game, Chicago starter Tsuyoshi Wada, who threw five scoreless innings Tuesday, was not credited with a complete game but did get the win.
"In my heart, he had officially gotten [the win] the other day," Renteria said.
The suspended game was the first at Wrigley Field since the Cubs and Dodgers played on July 10, 1987, when play was stopped because of darkness with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and the score tied, 4-4. That game resumed the next day, and the Dodgers won, 5-4, in 10 innings.
The Cubs' last suspended game was May 1, 2007, in Pittsburgh. The game was halted in the bottom of the seventh because of weather with the Cubs leading, 6-5. It was completed the next day, ending in an 8-6 Chicago win.

Blaz'n Grill Works Grand Slam Pellet Smoker
Blaz'n Grill Works Grand Slam Pellet Smoker
The Grand Slam Grill pellet smoker by Blaz'n Grill Works is their mid-size and most popular model. The basic design is typical of many pellet smokers, but Blaz'n Grill offers a few unique features.
Foremost is the easy clean burn pot which allows you to bypasses the task of lifting the greasy grates and drip pan to clean out ash. Simply slide out the burn pot with a handle located on the right. Just be careful when it is hot!
These smokers also utilize a stainless steel, disc shaped heat deflector that rests under the drip pan. The bottom firebox is double walled for better insulation and a hood insert is optional for the lid. The Blaz'n crew also believes their round rod auger transports pellets more smoothly than square rod augers, thus reducing wear on the motor. They will even do custom powder coat colors and/or cut your name into the grates.
All Blaz'n Grill pellets have a 30 pound capacity hopper. They recently upgraded their digital controllers from an Ortech dial unit with notched temp selections of Off, Smoke, 180, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, and High, to a more sophisticated Roanoke touch pad digital controller with an integrated meat probe. The desired internal meat temperature can be set and the meat probe will interact with the controller. When the probe senses the programmed target temperature has been reached, it flashes "done" and automatically reduces the cooking temp 160 degrees.
A large stainless steel drip pan under the grates tilts downward and empties into a small bucket outside the firebox. Stainless steel grates, warming rack and front shelf are standard. The body and cart are powder coated metal with caster wheels.
Owner, Mark Setzer, has been in metal fabrication since the early 1970s. A lover of BBQ, Setzer began making his own pellet smokers and found a strong local interest. In the summer of 2011, he started Blaz'n Grill. Distribution is limited. For more information contact the company direct.

Heaney savoring time in big league camp
JUPITER, Fla. -- Until he hears otherwise, Andrew Heaney reports to Marlins camp anticipating the next time his number is called.
Ranked by MLB.com as the top left-handed pitching prospect in the game, Heaney is showing why it is a matter of when he will get his first big league opportunity.
It is expected to be during the season because of depth in front of him in the organization. For now, Heaney is going along for the ride, striving to do his part on the mound and let the front office and coaching staff decide his next step.
"I want to stay here as long as possible," Heaney said. "I want to get innings, and I understand once the innings run out, they've got to give it to the guys who are going to be there to start the season."
Heaney has been given 7 2/3 innings in Grapefruit League play, and he has a 2.35 ERA, with four strikeouts and a WHIP of 0.91.
On Thursday against the Tigers in Lakeland, Fla., the lety threw three scoreless innings.
"I feel every time out I've gotten better," Heaney said. "I felt against the Tigers, it was the best my stuff has been this spring. My mechanics felt good. I was hitting spots."
Heaney, 22, will open the season at Double-A Jacksonville, where he finished 2013.
The Marlins have not historically started off their top pitching prospect at Triple-A, but their Double-A rotation is pretty deep with Justin Nicolino, Anthony DeSclafani, Jose Urena and Angel Sanchez expected to anchor four spots.
Every day Heaney is in camp, he feels more like he belongs. And facing great hitters like Detroit's Miguel Cabrera helps him gauge where he's at in his development.
"It's kind of a self-confidence thing to know, they're really good, they can hit, but I can pitch," Heaney said. "I can hold my own. To prove that to myself is good."

text: Chicago Auto Show strives to restore confidence and excitement January 14, 2009 12:00 AM Enlisting the aid of an auto show to help improve the state of the overall economy isn't a new concept to those who remember auto show history. In 1935, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt asked the automotive industry to seek ways to even out the seasonal employment downturn. The industry responded by moving its model year to the fall and the nation's two largest auto shows moved their dates to correspond with the new model year. "Challenging times call for innovation and creativity," said 2009 Chicago Auto Show Chairman Mark Scarpelli. "Our industry has shown time and time again that we have creativity by the truckload, and this year's schedule of auto shows will help us to turn the corner. "This is a year when the auto industry and auto shows need to move in concert with one another to help create a sustained momentum with confidence so that when a customer is motivated to walk into a showroom, he's going to find the vehicles he wants at prices he can afford-and financing to assist him," continued Scarpelli. "Our industry needs to ramp up interest starting in Los Angeles and then hold that interest level all the way through the New York show. As the nation's most influential consumer auto show, we're prepared to do our part to help provide the spark to ignite sales, not only in Chicago and the Midwest, but nationally, as well. We think that all auto shows should adopt the same attitude." "There's no reason that all auto shows can't rise to the occasion for the same purpose," said show co-Chair John Phelan. "Our exhibiting manufacturers have told us that the Chicago show will be just as bold and appealing to the public as before. We welcome their enthusiasm and pledge to do everything we can to help maximize the effect of their beautiful displays to the public, and to the national and international media. "The Chicago Automobile Trade Association is the nation's oldest and largest metropolitan dealer organization," continued Phelan. "We owe it not only to our group's members, but to dealers and manufacturers-across the country and around the globe-to give our industry its finest platform, its most flexible and accommodating stage, its most effective use of marketing dollars. Chicago is just a piece of the whole pie, but a uniquely significant one. We're eager to contribute in every way we can." Everyone goes to an auto show to see what's new, but perhaps this year more than ever consumers will be looking to the shows to find out what's out on the horizon-and discover it's not far down the road until that next big thing becomes reality. There are multiple questions of which way to go. This year's show will address those questions and let everyone see what's next. For instance, everyone is in favor of energy independence, but in what form will the industry respond to consumer demand? Fuel prices obviously impact everyone, but how will Washington influence the future? Certainly the questions are plentiful and this year they're being asked by the media, manufacturers and, most importantly, consumers. The vehicles they see on display in Chicago and other shows will give them the answers they seek, and demonstrate the creativity and responsiveness of auto manufacturers. "The auto show has always been a strong influence on people who are in the market, or intending to enter the market soon," said Chairman Scarpelli. "While we can get a glimpse of what's on the far horizon and available in the 3-5 year range, there are millions who need new vehicles now. We'll show them that elements such as better mileage, safety, comfort and being environmentally responsible isn't far away-and in many cases already in our showrooms ready to be purchased now."

This is from the most recent SI, with the Top 500 NFL Players rankings. Manning is on the cover and King has him ranked #1. There are some incredible quotes in here from Peyton, including him having a beer with Belichik at the Pro Bowl for a few hours and wishing he could have played for a time under Bill Walsh.
There is a Peyton Manning Fan Club among NFL quarterbacks, a group effusive in its praise and admiration for the Colts passer. Tom Brady dines with Manning a few times every year and considers him a good friend. "Cool guy," Brady says. Carson Palmer has driven from Cincinnati to Indianapolis, incognito, to watch him play. In Kansas City's playoff loss to Indianapolis last year, Chiefs rookie Brodie Croyle kept straying from the offensive area near the bench to get closer to the field so he could watch Manning.
Usually you can find athletes in every sport to dis a great player (off the record) for some kind of perceived fault. Not with Manning. Now that he's won a Super Bowl, he's ascended to a level at which he is practically beyond criticism. SI rates him the No. 1 player in the NFL -- big surprise there -- and the people he goes up against have no problem with that. "It's not even close," says Broncos coach Mike Shanahan. "He's the best."
The question going forward just might be, Could he become the best quarterback who ever played? He's durable, having missed one play because of injury in nine seasons. At 31 he's six very good seasons away from the alltime records for passing yards and touchdowns. (Dan Marino holds those marks, though Brett Favre is on track to overtake him in both categories.) But given the NFL championships on the résumés of Johnny Unitas, Otto Graham and Joe Montana -- not to mention Brady, who could add to his three -- Manning would probably have to win another Super Bowl or two to be considered the best. Unless he puts his numbers out of sight.
His peers see him as a guileless, innovative competitor. As he enters his 10th NFL season, how does Manning see himself, and his team?
"I play because I love the game, not because it's what I'm supposed to be doing. I think as soon as I'm not excited to be driving to training camp, that's when it'll be over. You know, it's an hour-and-15-minute drive from Indy.
I loaded an oldies CD [wife] Ashley just got for me for the drive, then sent out a mass text message to all my teammates whose numbers I have, which is a large majority of them. I wrote, 'Hey boys, let's go bust our asses in camp and do this thing again.' And it was exciting to see all the responses. Booger McFarland saying, 'That's what I'm talking about.' Dwight Freeney goes, 'Hell yeah.' Dungy gave me an 'Amen.' Priceless. So I was excited to be coming up here again. I can't imagine thinking the day before camp, Golly, I wish I didn't have to go."
" I always worry about the teammate that comes up and asks me for an autograph. You don't really want that. I'm like, 'Oh, this is for your brother?' And they're like, 'No, no, it's for me.' And I'm, 'Man, I need you to block for me. I don't need you to look up to me. You need to be my equal.' "
"You like to have some guys on your offense who really bother a defense, some pain-in-the-*** guys. That's what Bill Belichick always called [wide receiver] Brandon Stokley. That's what [tight end] Dallas Clark is. Last year Clark gets hurt against the Eagles, and I hear the dreaded 'ACL' on the sideline. I'm throwing my hat down and saying, 'That's pretty much going to do it for us.' We can win some games, but they're doubling Marvin [Harrison] already, daring us to beat them with someone else. Dallas rehabs his *** off, and he gets back for the Dolphins game at the end of the regular season to get the rust off and against Baltimore and New England plays like an absolute madman. I mean, against New England in the AFC Championship Game, he was the key to that comeback, those plays down the middle. Being a pain in the *** means making the defense declare what it's going to do. If you put your linebacker on him and have your good run defense, then you have pass-defense problems. If you put your nickelback on him, that's probably your third-best cover guy, and then what do you do with the extra receiver?"
"I'm just a football meathead. I did Saturday Night Live just to have fun. I'm a lot more nervous for a game. On Saturday Night Live the people who are nervous are trying to get Alec Baldwin to put them in his TV show. But preparing for Saturday Night Live was like preparing for a football game. I told them I wanted it to be funny. I went up there on a Monday. It's the same as a football week: Monday and Tuesday you put the plan in; Wednesday, Thursday and Friday you practice, although you only do each script the one time. The nervous thing is on Wednesday, you sit around with the whole crew, cast, cameras and makeup. They give you a stack of scripts and about 30 minutes to read all 40 of them on your own. Then Lorne Michaels reads the scene, and you have to do the reading. There's nothing about character or whatever, and you sound like a moron in front of these people. That's when they decide what's funny and what's not."
"I'd like to do one of those reality-TV shows on the ultimate debate -- what is the toughest job in sports? You'd put a pitcher in there, a golfer, a basketball player, a tennis player, a hockey player, a football player. I wouldn't have to be the football representative. I'd probably put Brett Favre in there, but I'd write his material. And I would say you can't compare anything to quarterback. A pitcher has no time factor, no hurry. He doesn't like the call from the catcher, he steps off, doesn't waste a timeout. I haven't found one job that really compares to what the quarterback has to go through. You take all those things: time, weather, noise and then you get to dealing with the rush, dealing with the speed. And you truly have the game in your hands."
"I constantly think about teams stealing our signals. I know New England films me when we're up there. I know Mike Shanahan has tried. I tell our backup quarterbacks in the preseason, 'Don't signal the receivers. If the guy doesn't know the route, bring him over and tell him.' I try to change mine up and mix it up, especially when we play teams with guy who've left here."
"The best players I've played against -- the Zach Thomases, the Ray Lewises -- they play their instincts. I can't tell you how many times against Zach Thomas I've had third-and-five, third-and-seven, and he's going, 'Watch the screen, watch the screen,' and I call time because we got a screen called. But he's just playing his instincts or tendencies. We played Oakland a few years ago, and after the game [linebacker] Greg Biekert said they had our signals. Well, in the first half, I think we had 375 yards of offense, and in the second half we had some turnovers and Rich Gannon got on fire, so Biekert looks like a hero. I said, 'What'd you do, save the stolen signals for the second half?' When you win, you say what you want; when you lose...."
"At the Pro Bowl, Belichick and I had a beer at the pool one day. We talked for a few hours and somebody said, 'All they're doing is telling a bunch of lies to each other.' There's some truth to that. But when we were stretching for practice one morning, we were kind of waiting to see who was going to break the ice first, and he came up to me and said, 'Now, that third-and-two in the championship game when you ran the ball, were y'all going to go for it on fourth down?' And I said, 'Look, on the sideline Tony [Dungy] basically said, 'Don't make me have to decide.' So after that, it was like, 'You asked one, now I have a couple for you.' "
"My first question to him? I went back to my rookie year, 1998, against the Jets. We went 3-13, and he's coaching under Parcells and they go 12-4. We beat them at home, my biggest win at the time. We stunk. We had a fourth-and-14 where they were going to blitz like crazy. Our left guard false-starts, but the ball is snapped and you see [the blitz], so we come back and go max protection, thinking they would blitz, and he drops eight [defenders into coverage]. I'm doing what my coach told me -- you know, dump it down to your back. So I throw a four-yard pass to Marshall Faulk on fourth-and-19. He gets the first down, and we go on to beat them. I asked Belichick if he remembered that play. Oh, he remembered. 'Damned Mo Lewis missed the tackle.' Unbelievable. We ended up going to dinner. I had an enjoyable week just talking football with the guy."
"If I could play one game for any coach besides Tony Dungy in football history, I'd probably pick Bill Walsh. God rest his soul. So many coaches were influenced by him. It'd be interesting to be in meetings with him. He said, 'If you're not going to coach it right, get off my staff. If you're not going to run it right, get off my team.' I'd say Walsh and, just for fun, Hank Stram. He had the most priceless NFL Films clip of all time, from the Super Bowl, when he said, 'The ol' coach called that one! The ol' coach called that one!'?"
"I called Tom Brady before the Super Bowl. I said, 'Give me a tip on what to do about the postgame party.' You know, win or lose, there's a party. The Colts had a party, and they give you nine tickets. I mean, how do you pick nine people? You don't even get past your family and your in-laws. Brady said, 'Call the hotel and get a room, and have a party win or lose. With your people.' And he always had a great one. [Colts owner Jim] Irsay had the ballrooms, so we called the hotel restaurant, and I said, Let's blow it out, win or lose. We go back to the hotel and I stop by Irsay's party, and then I go to our deal and we had about 100 people there -- friends, family, Kenny Chesney sang, we had a band. Went to bed around six."
"The most sincere voice mail I got after the Super Bowl was from Dan Marino. He did the coin toss that day, and he said it was an honor to be on the field with me. I'll remember that for a long time."
"Once you win, you don't want to quit; you want to win another one. So you have that same hunger, for sure. At least I do. I know I do."

Mathis targets early May return to Marlins
JUPITER, Fla. -- Marlins catcher Jeff Mathis, closing in on one month since fracturing his right collarbone, is hopeful to be back in big league games in early May.
Given a four-to-six week recovery prognosis when he was injured on Feb. 23, Mathis realizes it would be pressing it to be back sometime in April.
"I'm hoping I'm definitely rehabbing in April," he said on Tuesday morning. "I'm hoping that the beginning of May, I'm back in a big league game."
Mathis, who turns 30 on March 31, was hurt in Miami's first Grapefruit League game. His collarbone was broken on a foul tip off the bat of St. Louis' Matt Holliday.
An X-ray taken on Feb. 23 showed the break. Saturday will be one month since the incident. On Friday, Mathis will be examined by Dr. Frank Cook, the team physician, and another X-ray will be taken.
"We'll get another picture taken, and we'll go from there," the veteran catcher said. "I've already started moving it, trying to get back some mobility."
Mathis is moving gingerly. He refrains from any movements above his right shoulder and he uses his left hand to greet people, opting not to shake with his right hand.
"I'm moving it a little bit better," Mathis said. "I'm able to grab some things and do some things. As far as up over my shoulder, I'm not there yet. Everything [below the shoulder], I've had some progress."
The Marlins acquired Mathis from the Blue Jays in November.
An eight-year MLB veteran, Mathis broke in with the Angels in 2005, and he spent 2012 with Toronto.
Mathis entered Spring Training as Rob Brantly's backup.
If the Marlins don't seek options outside of the organization, Kyle Skipworth is considered the front-runner to be Miami's Opening Day backup catcher.
Missing a month of Spring Training has been a frustrating experience for Mathis.
"It's starting wear on me a little bit," Mathis said. "I've been around, but not having a schedule. I've got nowhere to be, except for therapy for an hour, and some cardio stuff, as much as I can. I miss being out there on that field."

Genus: OvisSpecies: canadensis
The bighorn sheep's dramatic history includes reaching near extinction and making a significant recovery with the help of conservation efforts.
Crossing over the Bering land bridge from Siberia, the species' population in North America peaked in the millions. Much as the bison did for Native American tribes in the Great West, bighorn sheep were sources of food, clothing, and tools for tribes in the mountainous regions of the west. Petroglyphs featuring bighorns are among the most common images across all western U.S. states.
By 1900, encroachment from human settlers diminished the population to several thousand. Bighorn sheep have made a comeback thanks to a conservation movement supported by President Theodore Roosevelt, reintroductions, national parks, and managed hunting. Unfortunately, some subspecies, such as Ovis canadensis auduboni of the Black Hills, were driven into extinction.
Historic 1930s campaigns to save the desert bighorn sheep have resulted in the establishment of two bighorn game ranges in Arizona: Kofa National Wildlife Refuge and Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge.
Hunters, not taxes, pay for bighorn sheep conservation and restoration efforts. Funds are derived from the purchase of hunting licenses and tags and indirectly through an excise tax on sporting goods.
Today and in the past, the efforts of conservation groups have also served to increase awareness and "petition" to place certain sub-species like the Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep on the Endangered Species List.
Description: The bighorn sheep is one of two species of wild sheep in North America with large horns, the other being the Dall sheep (Ovis dalli).
Its compact body is muscular, with chocolate brown fur trimmed in white on the muzzle, rump and belly. Most weigh 160-250 pounds, but rams may weigh over 350 pounds and stand around 40 inches at the shoulder.
Their wide-set eyes are situated well forward on the head, providing a wide arc of exceptional vision. The bighorn sheep's keen eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell help it detect and avoid predators.
The latest science shows that "bighorn sheep" is one species, with 3 living subspecies:
Horns & Hooves: Large, curved horns, borne by the males, or rams, can weigh up to 30 lb (14 kg) - as much as the rest of the bones in the male's body. Older rams have massive horns that can grow over 3 feet long with more than one foot in circumference at the base.
Females, or ewes, also have horns, but they are short with only a slight curvature. Both rams and ewes use their horns as tools for eating and fighting.
Although not as agile as mountain goats, bighorn sheep are well-equipped for climbing the steep terrain that keeps their predators at bay. The outer hooves are modified toenails shaped to snag any slight protrusion, while a soft inner pad provides a grip that conforms to each variable surface.
Habitat and Range: Bighorn sheep live in the western mountainous regions of North America, ranging from southern Canada to Mexico.
Their steep mountainous habitat, with ledges sometimes only 2 inches wide, provides cover from predators such as coyotes, golden eagles, mountain lions, bears, and Canada lynx. The sheep are important food sources for these large predators.
Most populations undergo seasonal movements, generally using larger upland areas in the summer and concentrating in sheltered valleys during the winter.
Behavior: Mature males spend most of their year in bachelor flocks apart from groups of females and young sheep. Young females generally remain in their mother's group (led by an older ewe) for life. All ewes are subordinate to even young rams with bigger horns.
Males depart their mother's group around 2 to 4 years of age and join a group of rams. This is sometimes a tough time of wandering until the young rams find a male group and they will sometimes take up with other species out of loneliness.
Bighorn sheep groups protect themselves from predators by facing different directions, allowing them to keep watch on their surroundings.
Diet: As ruminants, grass-eating bighorn sheep have a complex four-part stomach that enables them to eat large portions rapidly before retreating to cliffs or ledges where they can thoroughly re-chew and digest their food, safe from predators. Then bacteria takes over, breaking down plant fibers for digestion. The sheep also absorb moisture during this digestive process, enabling them to go for long periods without water.
Lifespan: Longevity depends on population status. In declining or stable populations, most sheep live over 10 years. Even in areas where no hunting occurs, females rarely make it past 15 and males rarely live beyond 12. Juvenile mortality is variable and can be quite high, ranging from 5 to 30%. Sheep between 2 and 6 years old have low mortality.
Reproduction: It is during the mating season or "rut" that the rams join the female groups and engage in fierce competition to establish access rights to ewes. Their dominance hierarchy is based on age and size (including horn size), which usually prevents rams younger than seven years old from mating. Younger males will mate sooner if dominant rams in their group are killed.
Mating competition involves two rams running toward one another, at speeds around 40 mph, and clashing their curled horns, which produces a sound that can be heard a mile away. Most of the characteristic horn clashing between rams occurs during the pre-rut period, although this behavior may occur to a limited extent throughout the year.
Researcher Jack Hogg discusses bighorn sheep behavior and how future generations could be affected by climate change.

Predators Mountain lions, coyotes, wolves and bears will all kill mountain sheep if given the opportunity, but chasing the sheep in the cliffs is rarely successful.
Disease Disease usually takes a far higher toll among bighorns than predators.
Accidents As sure-footed as they are, bighorn sheep sometimes slip and fall from the cliffs or are struck by falling rocks.

Police and witnesses say two speeding BMWs lost control and one of them smashed deep into a San Jose kitchen, leaving a 40-year-old mother critically injured and her small daughter buried in rubble.
Neighbors Stephanie Collins and Lou Soliz tell the San Jose Mercury News ( http://bit.ly/11lAmEJ ) that they found the mother Wednesday pinned under wreckage and screaming for her daughter. The couple says they pulled the daughter from underneath the rubble of the roof. Her only injury was one cut.
Police say the woman was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.
Three people from the BMW in the kitchen had moderate injuries. The other BMW hit a street sign. Its driver declined treatment.
No names were released.
Police say no one was arrested, but they are investigating whether the drivers were racing.

A Q&A With Peter DiMaria, CEO, Accu-Time Systems
1.) Assuming a VAR is the go-to solutions provider for a customer's technology needs in everything other than WFM, how easy is it for them to learn the nuances of WFM technology?
As the saying goes…."If it were easy everyone would be doing it." But that doesn't mean don't do it. The rewards can be huge if a VAR is willing to spend the time needed to understand workforce management applications. For those who already sell ERP, shop floor data collection, or physical and intellectual access control solutions the leap can be easier than for others. VARs who already know the benefit and pay back from these applications can more easily envision WFM working for their clients. The best place to look is at a WFM company whose products are designed to be sold by a VAR.

Smithsonian Online Education joins network for colleges
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Smithsonian Institution is joining an ultra-fast broadband network built for universities to bring the world's largest museum and research complex closer to higher education.
Officials say the Smithsonian's partnership announced Tuesday with the university-backed Internet2 network could open the vast museum collections to students and researchers. The Smithsonian has been working to digitize its 137 million objects.
Internet2 will connect museums on the National Mall to its ultra-fast 100 gigabit network. It's about 100 times faster than Google's fiber-optic system operating in Kansas City, Mo., and being built elsewhere.
The partnership could open the Smithsonian to massive open online courses, or MOOCS, as well as other programs with colleges and K-12 schools.
Smithsonian Secretary Wayne Clough says the museums can reach many more people through digital education.

3M Company (MMM) operates as a diversified technology company worldwide. This dividend king has paid dividends since 1916 and increased distributions on its common stock for 55 years in a row.
The company's last dividend increase was in February 2012 when the Board of Directors approved a 7.30% increase to 59 cents/share. The company's largest competitors include General Electric (GE), Carlisle (CSL) and Raven Industries (RAVN).
Over the past decade this dividend growth stock has delivered an annualized total return of 5.40% to its shareholders.
The company has managed to deliver 10.20% in annual EPS growth since 2002. Analysts expect 3M Company to earn $6.40 per share in 2012 and $6.97 per share in 2013. In comparison 3M Company earned $5.96/share in 2011.
The company has a diverse product base, and global operations, with sales expected to grow by 4% in 2012. The company spends 5% on R&D, and has been able to invent innovative products to bolster its bottom line. Future growth will also be achieved through expansion and extension of existing product lines as well as by expansion in the company's international operations, particularly in emerging markets such as China. Strategic acquisitions that generate synergies when added to one of its existing divisions could also lead to long-term growth. Cost initiatives as well as consistent share buybacks will be another tool that management will use to increase earnings per share.
The return on equity has been in a decline since hitting a high of 37.70% in 2007. Rather than focus on absolute values for this indicator, I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time.
The annual dividend payment has increased by 6.50% per year over the past decade, which is lower than to the growth in EPS. 3M Company slowed down the growth in dividends during the financial crisis, and only recently has it started raising them back above the rate of inflation.
A 6% growth in distributions translates into the dividend payment doubling every twelve years. If we look at historical data, going as far back as 1974 we see that 3M Company has managed to double its dividend every nine and a half years on average.
The dividend payout was in a decline between 2002 and 2007, as the company raised dividend at a slower rate than earnings growth. The economic downturn caused a spike in this indicator,until it returned to 37% over the past two years. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings.
Currently, 3M Company is attractively valued at 13.80 times earnings, yields 2.80% and has an adequately covered dividend. I would consider adding to my position in the stock subject to availability of funds.

I've finally gotten back into playing serious disc golf since taking a break about 2 years ago. With that being said I had never used anything with a rim wider than a wraith before so now I'm trying out different molds to find what my game is missing.
Open field distance: ~450 on a huge anhyzer
Golf distance: 375
Midrange distance: 250-275
Max Distance: 171 Z, GLO Nuke
Overstable drivers: 171 Z Nuke OS
175 Star TeeRex. (2009 mold)
Stable/understable drivers: 167 new pro Wraith
172 slightly seasoned Wraith
167 ESP Surge
Fairway: 175 Star Firebird (2009 mold)
175 Saint
175 Champ Teebird
171 GLO Leopard
Midrange: 175 Z Wasp
173 ESP Wasp
177 GLO Buzzz
177 ESP Buzzz
Putters: 2x 175 Warlock (main putters)
2x 175 Wizard (driving/upshot putters)
175 Star Rhyno (it's been in the bag for 4 years and its never coming out)
Also have an Avenger SS that I'm beating in for a roller/trick disc.
I used to think that I could throw as far as the best until I started playing advanced am and some of those guys can thrown 450 feet on a whim. Hence the inclusion of the Nukes.
Any input would be welcome. Most of the courses I play are pretty heavily wooded so control and shot shaping is more of a priority than all out distance.

works great but not aestheticAs with most Kiehl's original products, this one looks and smells poor.

My Reasons for Reporting This

BRAC Information
Fairfax County has made remarkable progress toward preparing for the transfer of 13,000 Defense Department employees and thousands of contactors by September 15, 2011 as part of the 2005 recommendations of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC). Fairfax County, the Virginia Department of Transportation and the federal government have spent hundreds of millions combined so far on BRAC-related projects, but much work lies ahead of us.
The first phase of the expansion and extension of the Fairfax County Parkway was completed in September and all but one phase of the project will be completed in 2011. This project is the most critical for Fairfax County since it will serve the 8,500 employees relocating to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) at the Engineer Proving Ground in Springfield. The Parkway project was funded in part by contributions from Fairfax County that were matched by federal stimulus money included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
BRAC relocations will nearly double Ft. Belvoir's employment by transferring 19,300 workers to its campuses, 11,900 of which will work in Fairfax County – 8,500 to the NGA in Springfield and 3,400 to the main post at Ft. Belvoir.
Fairfax County remains concerned with the relocation of 6,400 employees to the Mark Center in Alexandria due to the traffic problems it could create for our residents. On February 2, 2011, Transportation Secretary Sean Connaughton announced revisions to the I-95/395 portion of the HOT lanes project that ends the HOT lanes at the Beltway but will include a ramp from existing I-395 HOV lanes onto Seminary Road at the Mark Center. The Board of Supervisors is disappointed with the termination of the HOT lanes at the Beltway, but supports the timely action to move the project forward and to construct the ramp to the Mark Center.

McGrew: We haven't come very far
November 28, 2012
I feel compelled to write. The article about the killing of the wolf pack makes me so sad. This is going on in Wyoming and New Mexico and probably all across the West but we just don't hear about it. We, as a people, have not come very far. As stewards of the Earth, we are doing a horrible job. Certainly there is no learning from the past nor looking at the bigger picture. Ranchers need to account for losses from predators, injury and disease just as other businesses account for loss. It is public lands. All creatures live there. So be it. Get used to it and stop crying wolf! Accept your losses and account for it or move your herd and keep watch over them if you are that concerned. There are some jobs for the cowboys! They can keep wolves away from a herd without killing. Do we not learn anything?
Joanne McGrew, Breckenridge

The stuff kids really need for high school
Here are some easy tips to help you upgrade your childs supplies for high school. more
Lactose intolerance is characterised by the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk. Kids who are lactose intolerant lack the enzyme lactase, which is necessary for breaking down lactose. Lactose intolerance can be either temporary or permanent. Kids who are lactose intolerant will need to avoid milk and milk products, but you'll still need to make sure that they get enough calcium.
Lactose intolerance is caused by a lack of lactase, the enzyme that helps the body digest lactose. Not everyone who lacks lactase is lactose intolerant. A lack of lactase can be caused by a parasite infection, iron deficiency, or a bout of gastro. Some kids who are lactose intolerant are born with the condition.
Lactose intolerance is not serious, but it can be uncomfortable.
You can't prevent lactose intolerance, but you can manage its symptoms and avoid foods that contain lactose.
Kids who are lactose intolerant must have a lack of lactase and the symptoms of lactose intolerance. Symptoms include:
First seek a diagnosis from your child's doctor. Too many children are weaned early because they are mistakenly believed to be lactose intolerant. Almost all babies will experience a bout of lactose intolerance at some point, but it's usually not serious enough to restrict milk products. If your child truly is lactose intolerant, you will need to restrict diary products, but ensure that your child gets enough dietary calcium in the food she eats. You may need to give calcium supplements.
You should always call the doctor if you believe your child is lactose intolerant. Only he can diagnose the condition. Never self-diagnose lactose intolerance.

Kansas City -- A new study of the millennial generation shows that many 25- to 34-year-old shoppers change their purchasing habits and behaviors after they start their families.
According to the "Millennials as New Parents" study, fielded by Vision Critical and conducted and analyzed by Barkley, when given the choice to shop at one store for the rest of their lives, millennial parents chose Walmart over Amazon.com and Target. The group also chose brick-and-mortar Walmart and Target locations as their shopping destinations of choice, over online stalwart amazon.com.
When broken down by income level, the answer shifts slightly. High-income millennial parents chose Target, while middle and low income brackets chose Walmart.
Before they become parents, millennials rank their favorite brands in order of descending importance as Nike, Sony and Gap, with 10% naming Nike as their top choice. After they become parents, millennials continue to name Nike as their top affinity brand, but at a much lower margin. Only 6% put Nike at the top — followed by Target and Apple at 3% each.
Millennial parents are pragmatic — when compared to before they had children, they buy significantly more based on price than they do on quality. Before they were parents, their buying decisions were 57% on quality. After parenthood, they buy just over 50% on quality.
In some categories — dining and entertainment, apparel, and digital products — the change is more dramatic, with the shift away from quality and toward price dropping as much as 20%.
Millennials, the most transparent generation ever, continue to remain heavily connected online even after they become parents. Over 35% of millennial parents claim to have posted on Facebook in the last day.
Millennials as a whole regularly trade private information for perks from brands they favor. However, that willingness falters a bit when millennials become parents, with 48% claiming they are less likely to give up private information about themselves in exchange for promotional perks.

GiftTree stands by their services and delivery was exactly as expected! I will do business again with this company as we were all pleased!!
Fruit LoverWonderful GiftJune 29, 2013
Get Well Gift Basket was wonderful, but don't expect delivery for the next day, as the fruit is not always available that quick for the basket. Only had to wait an additional day and they did call and OK the delay. My friend loved the gift and said it brightened her day - everyone needs a teddy bear when they are not feeling well.

Ali SquaredGreat Basket!February 26, 2013
I did not personally see this basket. It was a get-well gift for someone who lives in another city, far away from were I live. However, I was in touch with her by email and asked about the basket. She said she loved it and it was perfect. The mug has become her favorite coffee mug.
FruityVery nice basketFebruary 17, 2013

My Son, daughter in law and granddaughter have been sick this weekend. Being 6 hours away from them and having a bad back, I wasn't able to go help them. Sending this basket brighten up their day. I had ordered it around 8 am and they recieved their gift that afternoon. My granddaughter was giving the bear hugs and kisses all day, putting smiles on all their faces did what I wasn't able to do.
