Technetium-Labeled Red Blood Cell Bleeding ScanSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
In a technetium-labeled red blood cell bleeding scan, blood is taken from you, and a small amount of radioactive material called technetium is added to the blood. The blood with the technetium is then injected back into your bloodstream.
Red blood cells with the technetium attached to them accumulate at the location of active bleeding. A machine scans the body to find where the technetium accumulates. This method of finding bleeding is sometimes more effective than angiography. The technetium-labeled red blood cell bleeding scan may find slow bleeding that can't be seen using angiography.
The technetium-labeled red blood cell bleeding scan is used:
- If the source of the bleeding in the large intestine cannot be found using colonoscopy or other methods.
- If the bleeding is too slow or intermittent to be detected by angiography.
- If colonoscopy finds that the bleeding is coming from a spot in the small intestine and the bleeding does not stop. (The bleeding stops on its own in most people.)
- When surgery is needed to stop the bleeding. It is important to locate exactly the source of the bleeding before surgery.

Small but great gluten free menu!! Love pasta that I haven't made!!
It's just okay! Very limited choices! Special when you have multiples food limitation.
Good gluten free options
17430 Hall Rd, Charter Twp of Clinton, MI 48038
Terrible gf options. Always get sick cross contamination constantly. I don't feel like anyone cares about medical issues at this particular Brio.
7 Backus Ave, Danbury, CT 06810
Gf options but I have a secondary food allergy that was also acknowledged by the server and then ignored by the kitchen - the item showed up on my plate. Manager and server were very apologetic and remade the dish but imo if one allergy warning is missed it may not be safe to order expecting gf here either.
502 Nichols Road, Kansas City, MO 64112
Gluten free menu (available online) I have tried the gluten free pasta carbonara, grilled salmon and chocolate mousse for dessert! All were super delicious!
502 Nichols Road, Kansas City, MO 64112
They have a limited GF menu but the shrimp and lobster risotto was phenomenal.
7 Backus Ave, Danbury, CT 06810
Small GF menu, but celiac friendly. Wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
480 N Orlando Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789
They handed me a gluten free menu, but after ordering a chicken dish from this menu I got very sick. Won't chance it by returning.
1201 Lake Woodlands Dr, The Woodlands, TX 77380
Had a really delicious lobster tail risotto here, the wait staff chatted with me extensively about how they would accommodate me (celiacs) and made me feel really comfortable and confident that I was eating safely. I'm fairly sensitive and had no issues whatsoever after the meal!
591 Brookwood Village, Birmingham, AL 35209
I've been here a couple of times. The salads were fine, but I wouldn't trust the GF pasta. Maybe the kitchen just didn't take care, but life was not pleasant afterwards.
499 S University Dr, Plantation, FL 33388
Disappointing. Ordered gluten free pasta and asked if it would be separate. My food arrived with regular pasta mixed in! Avoid
2150 E Williams Field Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85295
Recently diagnosed with a severe gluten and wheat allergy. I was finally feeling better and ate from their gluten free menu, was severely sick! Diarrhea within hours, stomach pain and bloating and skin rash later that night! Very disappointed but the good was delicious.
200 Crocker Park Blvd, Westlake, OH 44145
Our server was amazing and considerate, which is not always the case when your eating in a restaurant that automatically brings complimentary bread to the table :) I was pleased with the number of options on the GF menu; even includes dessert!
160 Walt Whitman Rd, Huntington Station, NY 11746
They have a GF symbol next to all gluten-free menu items. I ordered their gluten- free pasta which tasted great, but made me extremely sick afterwards. Do not recommend to anyone with Celiac Disease.
330 Yorktown Shopping Center, Lombard, IL 60148
Gf menu and the waiter was good with information on allergies. And yet I got sick on the food.
10000 Research Blvd, Austin, TX 78759
Best GF pasta in a restaurant. Excellent food, service. Good prices. Not oversized portions. Frequently have flour-less chocolate cake on the dessert tray. Update - no separate GF menu anymore. Fewer GF dishes and hard to find. Downgrading to 4 stars.
305 Christiana Mall Rd., Newark, DE 19702
They did have a celiac menu although limited. Remains to be seen if cross contamination becomes an issue.
777 Casino Dr, Cherokee, NC 28719
The food was cold on top and hot on bottom, like it was microwaved. The food had no flavor and the salmon and pasta were both over cooked. They did have a gluten menu but all the food we ate was awful.
200 Crocker Park Blvd, Westlake, OH 44145
Gluten free menu. Grilled Salmon, roasted veggies, and mashed potatoes was very good. The lady who took my order understood my needs as she said she had a close relative with Celiac. Very nice and understanding staff member.
325 Westfarms Mall, Farmington, CT 06032
The celiac in my family is currently getting I'll from the regular wheat pasta they found mixed in with their gf dinner! Stay away and beware. Thus kitchen does not get it!!!
591 Brookwood Village, Birmingham, AL 35209
Limited items marked on regular menu. Food was delicious. Nice restaurant but noisy.
17430 Hall Rd, Charter Twp of Clinton, MI 48038
not a ton of choices, but the ones they have are delish. they have a celiac disclaimer on the menu as they don't have a dedicated space....
2223 N Westshore Blvd, Tampa, FL 33607
Very nice authentic Italian restaurant. I come here every time I'm in Tampa.
1 Levee Way #1140, Newport, KY 41071
I've eaten here three times since I found out about their gluten free menu.. 2 times with no issues, 1 time where I found a stray gluteny noodle mixed in with my gluten free pasta. I hate to ban Brio if it was just a one time mistake, but they need to be cautious about cross-contamination in their kitchen. I'd suggest getting something other than the pasta to be extra safe
2964 Peachtree Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30305
Small Gluten free menu, but the food is very tasty. I had grilled Salmon, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes. They offer the same dish with chicken. I saw 3 gluten free pastas and 3 salads on the menu as well. I wanted to update this review because I've been to Brio multiple times since & have not had any problems with food. I consider them as one of my "go to" safe restaurants.
80 South Regent Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
They have a dedicated GF menu but do recommend that you shouldn't eat there if you have celiac because of the shared kitchen. I had a pasta from the GF menu with red pepper sauce, chicken and mushrooms, it was lovely.
420 S Rampart Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89145
This is a great restaurant and they take the allergy really seriously.
1 Levee Way #1140, Newport, KY 41071
Ate off the gluten free menu. Got glutened. Ruined my anniversary.
4910 Big Island Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246
Their GF pasta is good and doesn't make me sick, however I had the worst experience of having my waitress bring out my salad and pasta in gluten form. I would've been sick as a dog if my GF buddy hadn't of stopped me. Their noodles have to be a certain shape to be gluten free. She then asked if I was just "on one of those new diets" and if I could "just eat it anyways". I'm 5'9 and 130 pounds, no I don't need to diet. I need better costumer service! We had her bring the manager. I still go there now, but I'm always more cautious.
80 South Regent Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
Called to make a res and they informed me they are "gluten friendly" but not gluten free. Straight up advised me not to eat there if I have celiac. I appreciated their honesty!
1 Levee Way #1140, Newport, KY 41071
Gf menu
591 Brookwood Village, Birmingham, AL 35209
We got off to a poor start when, after I asked for their gf menu, the waitress returned without it and asked us if we were ready to order. The menu does caution that this is not a dedicated gf kitchen. That said, there were I believe three salads, three pasta dishes, two chicken dishes, a salmon dish, and creme brûlée on the gf menu. I chose a pasta, which for gf was quite good.
80 South Regent Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
After a terrible attempt at The Cheesecake Factory across the street (even their salads aren't GF! And the staff was clueless), I walked into Brio with tears streaming down my face, figuring that an Italian restaurant would be the very last place I'd be able to find something to eat. Boy was I wrong! Not only did they have a dedicated GF menu, the manager quickly recognized my hunger-induced panic and did an amazing job at helping me choose something to eat and personally ensured that it would be prepared GF. My experience here made my whole day. I would highly recommend.
502 Nichols Road, Kansas City, MO 64112
Good variety!
15900 La Cantera Parkway, San Antonio, TX 78256
The manager Jeff is awesome. Chef always takes care of you. They can make you a good gluten free pasta or alter the meals to be gluten free. Even when I go here for a mixer on the patio they treat me well.
330 Yorktown Shopping Center, Lombard, IL 60148
Great pasta! The Alfredo is not gf and they mix it with the bolognese so ask for plain bolognese - which is delicious.
4910 Big Island Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246
Sure, they offer a GF menu... But our waiter brought out both the salad and pasta dishes in gluten form. When I told her for the fifth time I could not eat it, she proceeded to ask if it was an allergy or "just a diet tad". Their GF food was good (when I finally got it), but if I didn't have a friend with me who was familiar with their dishes I would've had an allergic attack. Won't go again for their careless service.
3029 Kirby Drive, Houston, TX 77098
Business is no longer open at this location.
901 Haddonfield Rd, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002
Very happy to see a gluten free menu here. It's limited and you have to ask for it but it made it easy for me to eat out with my family. (The menu states that they are not certified gluten free and do not recommend for celiac a.)
3710 U.S. 9, Freehold, NJ 07728
staff is very familiar with gluten free and they have a good gf menu.
200 Crocker Park Blvd, Westlake, OH 44145
Good gf menu includes 3 choices each for salads, pastas and entrees.
2150 E Williams Field Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85295
Chefs are great for anything gf. Will make noodle options if call day before. Delicious.
305 Sail Pl, Annapolis, MD 21401
I do not like this place. I had a fly in my salad. After that I couldn't tell you how anything else tastes
591 Brookwood Village, Birmingham, AL 35209
So glad to find Brio in Bham! This place is even better than the Houston location -- if you can imagine that. The hostess reassured me that they serve gluten-free meals all the time and take the same precautions as their other locations to avoid cross contamination. The waiter did offer bread, so I took 1 star off for that , but the kitchen handled the meal perfectly. I had the GF pasta pomodoro and my fellow GF dining companion had the GF pasta brio.
3710 U.S. 9, Freehold, NJ 07728
Be careful..found regular spaghetti underneath my gf penne.
3710 U.S. 9, Freehold, NJ 07728
The chef was very understanding and came out without my asking him to. He brought out the ingredients list for the pasta to make sure I had no allergies to it. They let me make my own dish and were careful to double check that every last thing was definitely gluten free. I felt very safe and had a great meal!
9210 Stony Point Pkwy, Richmond, VA 23235
Part of large group twice at this location and once gf was requested staff provided contamination free dishes.
330 Yorktown Shopping Center, Lombard, IL 60148
Server had very good understanding of GF. Had a chopped Chicken salad that was very good. Extensive wine list. Would definitely come back.
330 Yorktown Shopping Center, Lombard, IL 60148
Really nice salads and pasta. I had the salmon salad and it was great! The server was very knowledgeable.
4910 Big Island Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246
Horrible experience! My father and I went here for lunch. There were only about 10 customers in the restaurant total and it took almost 15 minutes for a waiter to take our drink order. The food we finally received was barely warm and completely bland. I have celiac and tried their "Gluten Free" pasta and immediately got sick. I will NEVER eat there again!
7 Backus Ave, Danbury, CT 06810
Simple GF menu- 3 salad options, 3 pasta options, 3 grilled entrées (steak, chicken and salmon). Cross contamination issues are evident and are disclosed on the menu. Waitress stated the crème brûlée was GF but went to double check. When she came back she did say it the crème brûlée was stored next to chocolate cake (and she did not recommend ordering it for that purpose). The restaurant is upfront and honest about CC. This is why they got 2 stars still not great.I had a horrible reaction to the "GF" Brio pasta. The worst part was it didn't even taste that great to begin with. Mediocre at best. I would not recommend this to Celiacs, it maybe OK for people who are not super sensitive and or gluten intolerant.
3029 Kirby Drive, Houston, TX 77098
Nice GF menu. We had a great lunch experience here. The Pasta Pomodoro with grilled chicken was tender and tasty. My GF dining companion enjoyed the Pasta Brio. I think the pasta is Tinkyada. Waiter reassured me that the kitchen cleans the work space and utensils when preparing GF meals, minimzing the risk of cross contamination. I will definitely be back

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone/Downes-O'Neill in Chicago, Ill.
The spot markets saw a quick change once we fell into the 1.60's early in the week — prices rebounded and are now once again near the upper end of what has been a 15-cent range all month. This is important to remember because the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Spot Market has not yet broken out above levels of resistance that traders have respected since late August, so expect that the upside is very limited from these levels at current.
It appears most of Friday's gains were attributable to a correction of the spread as we are still below the historical norm but no longer inverted. The big weekly gains in spot pushed class III to solid gains as well, with Q4 gaining 48 cents on the week to close spot on $18 while Q1 trailed the gains in Q4 it was keeping pace better than it has in recent weeks gaining 38 cents to close the week at $16.69.
Shares of Singapore-listed China Dairy Group surged 35 percent after Fraser and Neave Ltd (F&N) said it had agreed to sell its entire 29.5 percent stake in the company for nearly three times the Friday closing price
The week ahead sees both GDT and the dairy products report released tomorrow and bi-weekly international prices as well as weekly DMN prices on Thursday.
We'd look for cheese to hold its recent range and likely see some slight weakness early in the week, though it seems with open interest increasing on the price gains last week perhaps there is more faith in the recent movement than has been seen over the past 8 weeks of trading.
Cheese futures saw a mostly stronger trade on Friday as 63 contracts changed hands and that brought the weekly total up over the 1,000 mark at 1,061. As with class III prices were stronger on the heavy volume as well with Q4 closing out the week at 1.739 up 4.2 cents on the week and Q1 2012 helped by Friday's session closed the week up 0.008 at 1.644.
We look for milk to open mixed.
The spot butter market inched higher on Friday and closed the week up 2 cents as trading volume picked up to 13 total contracts as uncommitted loads are finally making their way to the exchange. We'd expect to see that increase in the coming weeks.
We look for butter prices to open mixed.
Fundamental talk on grains has slowed recently but has been mostly bearish as export sales were very soft last week. Good weather has South American planting off to a good start on soybeans and wheat fundamentals are bearish as well with forecasts calling for better moisture across the southwestern US.
We are now within range of the November crop report with private estimates on production coming out throughout this week. FCStone will release their numbers Tuesday afternoon with Informa coming later in the week. While the market may add in some risk premium for potentially softer production numbers we would expect to see a slight improvement there and with demand once again softening due to stronger prices we'd expect the upside to be limited through the Nov. 9 report.
The grain markets opened very quietly Sunday night with prices mixed prior to the Japanese intervention news triggered a sharp U.S. dollar rally and pushed the grains lower. Late night trading saw corn down 4 to 7 cents, beans off 4 to 7 cents and wheat down 3 to 6 cents.
We look for corn to open 7 to 10 lower, beans to open 10 to 13 lower, meal to open 2 to 5 lower, and wheat to open 6 to 8 lower.
A safe and fun Halloween to you and your families.

J.W. Richard from Mandrake Society Radio is hosting the first-ever (as far as we know) local LGBT blogger Tweet-up tomorrow night. Think of it as a sort of mini-conference of local bloggers. He says on his Facebook invite, "Fellow video, audio, photo, or text bloggers, podcasters, and those interested, let's meet up! Snacks provided. Free wi-fi courtesy of It's A Grind. For those who are LGBT or whose subject matter is LGBT community-related."
We discussed this during my Hint of Mint days about the idea of a blogger collective to share ideas and resources. Looks like it's finally come to fruition thanks to Richard's persistence. Click the invite to RSVP or contact Richard via his site. If you have trouble with the direct link like I did, head here and then search "gay blogger tweetup." And do your research on finding It's A Grind. It can be tricky.
I plan to be there. Snacks provided? Heck yeah.

The Australian dollar is higher after retail sales figures came in surprisingly strong and disappointing US jobs data weakened the greenback.
At 1700 AEST on Monday, the local currency was trading at 93.15 US cents, up from 92.80 cents on Friday.
The US economy generated 209,000 new jobs in July, below economists' expectations, while the unemployment rate rose to 6.2 per cent from 6.1 per cent.
Meanwhile, Australian retail sales figures beat expectations, rising 0.6 per cent in June.
"The data here was a bit stronger than expected," said CMC Markets chief market analyst Ric Spooner.
"That's coming off a run of weaker data after the warm start to winter and the federal budget blues."
Mr Spooner said weaker jobs and inflation data in the US reduced the likelihood of an imminent rate hike from the US Federal Reserve.
"The recent run of data had been strong enough to say we may have been getting to the point where the Fed was beginning to be forced to do something," Mr Spooner said.
"The jobs figures and particularly that weaker core inflation data certainly takes the immediate pressure off the Fed to begin preparing the market for its tightening cycle."
At 1700 AEST, one Australian dollar was buying 69.42 euro cents, up from 69.34 euro cents on Friday, and 95.63 Japanese yen, up from 95.55 yen.
Australian bond futures prices were also boosted by the disappointing US data.
At 1630 AEST on Monday, the September 2014 10-year bond futures contract was trading at 96.510 (implying a yield of 3.490 per cent), up from 96.480 (3.520 per cent) on Friday.
The September 2014 three-year bond futures contract was unchanged at 97.280 (2.720 per cent).

Vice President Spiro Agnew had campaigned in Fort Wayne. I was a student volunteer who helped at the packed rally at the Memorial Coliseum as well as in Hammond. Agnew's rhetoric, written mostly by Pat Buchanan, stirred conservative hearts.
My personal favorite is still this: "A spirit of national masochism prevails, encouraged by an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals."
It only slightly topped "the nattering nabobs of negativism."
"The reason I spoke out," Agnew said, "was because, like the great silent majority, I had had enough. I had endured the didactic inadequacies of the garrulous in silence." Spiro worked the crowds to fever pitch. I remember the roars when he said we needed to draw a line in the sand and force people to choose which side of the battle they were on.
The failures of 1970 led to a basic Republican rule: "Don't draw a line in the sand unless you know you will win." (Agnew, of course, led to a second rule as well: "Don't stock your refrigerator with illegal groceries from campaign supporters.") This year we seemed to remember the rule about groceries but not the line in the sand.
A Winston Churchill quote is a favorite of conservatives: "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." But when Mitt Romney converted Churchill's principle into this – "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what" — you have walked yourself into a big trap without a lot of wiggle room.
Presumably he was saying that people who don't pay income taxes are more likely to favor taxing those who do pay income taxes more than those who pay the taxes themselves. However, in the far too memorable words of Mike Huckabee that Romney reminds people of the "guy that laid them off," he was not wise to be dividing people into economic classes. Simply put, if elections become class warfare, conservatives will not win.
Selling capitalism requires that most people have some understanding of capitalism. They don't. Capitalism results in unequal distribution, but all are better off, even if the gaps are greater than if everyone is equally poor. America seems focused on distribution, not gains. That is not likely to change soon.
Drawing a line in the sand solely on libertarian economic philosophy and dramatically reducing government will not win the presidency. We also need the voters who "cling to their Bibles and guns" and/or want a strong America, not just low taxes.
"My way or the highway" by all Republican factions has resulted in this nightmare: a President Obama who faces no election constraints with an even more Democrat-dominated Senate.

thread on what line-up changes you think the Pacers should use. Here is mine
PG- Lance Stephenson 6'5
SG- Sam Young 6'6 read paragraph about why to start him
SF- Paul George 6'10
PF- David West 6'9
C- Roy Hibbert 7'2
PG- D.J. Augustin
SG- George Hill
SF- Gerald Green
PF- Tyler Hansbrough
C- Ian Mahinmi
Yes, I think the Pacers should start Stephenson at point. This needs to be his team for us to compete for a championship. Here comes the part I think most of you will disagree with, I would start Sam Young. Yes, Hill is better and I get that, but wasn't Harden better than Seflosha (probably spelled it wrong) wasn't Jason Terry better than the Mavs SG. Yes, I think Hill should finish games out with the starters but I think the bench needs another scoring option and Hill can give them that. I say play him 32 min a game like normal, just bring him in off the bench. BTW I listed the height of the starters so you can see how big our starters would be, tough to guard.

Muskingum College students and staff spend spring break building houses for Habitat for Humanity
MARCH 3, 2004 - Thirteen students and two staff members from Muskingum College will spend spring break in Columbus, GA building houses for Habitat for Humanity's Collegiate Challenge program. From March 8 through March 12, the group will work with more than 230 other college volunteers through the Columbus, Georgia's Habitat for Humanity Chapter.
The following students and staff from Muskingum College will be going on the trip: Dan Cowden '07, Nic Fioritto '04, Brad Hauser '05, Jeff Jackson '07, Kate Korosa '07, Melissa Marshall '08, Tiffany McCarty '08, Stephanie Parmiter '07, Lauren Roush '08, Leslie Roush '08, Emily Snode '06, Kim Stevens '07 and Valerie Weaver '08. Muskingum College staff attending the alternative spring break are Student Life Coordinator Kerry Nelson and Student Affairs counselor Jennifer Tufte.
In addition to donating a total of 600 hours on the job in Georgia,, students raised more than $1300 locally to contribute to the cost of construction. Their labors will help build ten houses in Georgia. The students involved with the Collegiate Challenge program are members of the Muskingum College chapter of Habitat for Humanity, and have worked with the Guernsey County Habitat chapter in the past as well.
Collegiate Challenge is a year-round program, coordinated through the Collegiate Challenge Team at Habitat for Humanity International in Americus, GA.

"That picture is dope man". -Paul George
Go look up how much he makes.
Gordon would make a great backup SG. The Vinnie Johnson microwave kind of guy. But Pacers just don't have the cap space.
Why is everyone wanting to trade for wings? Once Danny's back there are 0 minutes left for wings.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Plus, he's just kinda a guy now. He wasn't ever elite or anything, but that guy could really score. I don't know if it's because he's in Charlotte and is checked out what, but you watch him play now and it's just "oh...there's a guy."
For the record, Ben Gordon makes $12.4 million this season and $13.2 million in 2013-14 as a player option.
Plus he's fighting with his coach. Plus he was not a great teammate in Detroit either.
They will need to pay someone to take him. Even if they gave us their unprotected first round pick (high lottery) plus Ben for Danny, I would be inclined to pass.
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
I'd trade Green for him.
Not Danny.
We aren't going to get equal value for Danny if we try to trade him this season, anyway.
Again, not sure why on earth the Pacers would be looking to shop Danny. If he's himself, the Pacers are contenders this year. And as said, they wouldn't get equal value for him anyway, because of the question mark over his knees.

I think Ben Gordon is a solid player, but not sure if he would fit the Pacers' system. I may be wrong but we could find someone else as well or just stick with what we have because I don't think when Granger moves back to the starting lineup that it'll mess everything up. I believe Vogel won't start him unless Stephenson hits a cold streak, but I believe PG will thrive at the SG position just as much as he has so far at the SF
Smothered Chicken!
I'd happily swap Granger for Gordon if we could also swap first-round picks in the deal.
Plus we can't afford him next year - say we trade Green, DJA, and Hans or Pendy for him. He'll put us over the tax next year.
He's just not good enough to go into those kinds of complications.
I think that he's too expensive to be the 1st Guard off the bench ( he's owed $25+ mil over the next 2 years ). I am happy with Lance filling that role. Pass.
Ask me again in 2014-2015 when he becomes a UFA.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Yea, not happening
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
WTF? Why do so many people want to trade Danny? This makes NO SENSE to me. Our defense is going to get better and our offense is going to get way better when he comes back. He's been nothing but good to us and he's going to make us much better when he comes back, why trade him??? So confused.

"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
Found this interesting...not good if you ask me when it comes to Ben Gordon's trade value nor personality.
The highlighted parts are the main reasons why I would say no to Ben Gordon.Sources: Bobcats more determined to trade Ben Gordon after incident with coach
2 hours 57 minutes ago
After a bout of disruptive behavior from Ben Gordon targeted at Charlotte Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap, the franchise's desire to trade the guard has deepened, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
As Dunlap led the Bobcats in a morning shootaround on Monday before a victory over the Celtics, Gordon refused Dunlap's request to stop bouncing a ball as the coach spoke, sources said. Before long, Gordon began baiting Dunlap, telling him that he needed to "humble himself," sources said.
Gordan refused to give the ball to Dunlap, and eventually tossed it toward a ball rack, sources said.
Bobcats general manager Rod Higgins was in the practice session and ultimately intervened, sources said.
"Beyond disrespectful," was how one league source described the scene.
The front office didn't suspend Gordon, a decision sources said was based in part on the belief the incident would diminish his trade value so close to the league's deadline next Thursday. The Brooklyn Nets are still mulling an offer to trade forward Kris Humphries for Gordon, but have thus far been unmoved over the possibility Gordon can make an impact for them, sources said.
For now, the Nets are searching elsewhere, believing they can always go back and accept the Gordon deal at the deadline. Gordon's performance has steadily fallen this season, including an unproductive 14 minutes against the Celtics that included missing five of six shots.
Gordon makes $12.4 million this season and $13.2 million in 2013-14. The Detroit Pistons traded Gordon to the Bobcats in June.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Another Gordon that I don't want to see come here.
You always have to wonder when the worst team in the league can't wait to get rid of you.
12 million reasons not to
If games are won and lost on a calculator and piece of paper, then why do we bother to play them?
Hell, there are enough reasons to say no BEFORE you see the price tag!
...Still "flying casual"
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia

Tulsa Football Wins Conference USA Championship
Alex Singleton leaped into the end zone from one yard out and the Tulsa bench flooded the field as the Golden Hurricane won the Conference USA Championship, 33-27, in overtime, defeating UCF in front of a crowd of 17,635 Saturday afternoon at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
Singleton's touchdown was the fifth play of Tulsa's overtime possession and his second dive toward the end zone, all coming after senior Cory Dorris blocked UCF's 38-yard field goal attempt in its turn in the extra period.
The Golden Hurricane tied the game with a 54-yard punt return by Trey Watts with 5:06 remaining in regulation.
TU trailed 27-21 when the defense forced UCF to punt. The Knights tried to bat the ball back toward to TU defensive goal, but the ball was not downed. Trey Watts picked the rolling football off the ground and returned it 54 yards for a touchdown knotted the game at 27 apiece after the point-after was blocked.
Watts totaled 210 all-purpose yards, including a 54-yard punt return that tied the game in the fourth quarter, and was named Most Valuable Player of the C-USA Championship Game. He rushed for 134 yards and added 22 yards in kickoff returns.
Tulsa (10-3) won its second C-USA title since joining the league in 2005, and its first since that year. As a reward for its championship, the Golden Hurricane will play in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis on Dec. 31.
Singleton ran for 100 yards on 25 carries. He and Watts are the first TU pair to rush for 100 yards in the same game since Nov. 12, 2011 when Watts and Ja'Terian Douglas did so against Marshall.
The Golden Hurricane totaled 443 yards, including 290 on the ground. UCF (9-4) totaled 330 yards, including 136 on the ground. TU quarterback Cody Green was 14-for-25 passing for 153 yards and a touchdown to Thomas Roberson, who had four receptions for 68 yards.
Singleton's game-winning touchdown in overtime was his second of the game and the 41st of his career. He now owns the TU career total touchdowns record, and surpassed Tarrion Adams (2005-08) in the first quarter with his initial touchdown of the game.
Quarterback Blake Bortles completed 14-of-32 passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for another 60 yards to lead UCF (9-4). Latavius Murray rushed 21 times for 71 yards and a touchdown, and Breshad Perriman caught three passes for 65 yards and a score for the Knights.
The teams traded a pair of fumbles to open the game before Tulsa scored on its second possession.
The Golden Hurricane took full advantage of good field position after the UCF punt, and scored five plays later to take a 7-0 lead. Thomas Roberson broke free of the defender and Green found him wide open as he coasted into the end zone.
The Hurricane took over on its own 2 after forcing another punt, and moved 54 yards before an interception derailed the drive. UCF drove 73 yards, scoring on an eight-yard pass from Blake Bortles to Breshad Perriman to knot the score at 7-7.
UCF took over on its own 48 after a Tulsa punt, and drove 52 yards to score and take the lead with 4:53 left in the half. Bortles found Quincy McDuffie at the front of the end zone to make the score 14-7.
Tulsa took the ensuing kickoff and drove 75 yards in just seven plays to tie the game at 14-14 with 2:35 remaining in the half. Trey Watts sandwiched a 24-yard run between six runs by Singleton on the drive. The 260-pound senior sprinted through a large hole in the line and coasted into the end zone for his 40th career touchdown.
The Golden Hurricane took a 21-14 lead into the locker room at halftime after it closed the half with an 80-yard drive in the final 1:02. With 2nd-and-10 on the UCF 34, Green hit Roberson, who jumped over and battled the defender to come down with the ball on the 2. TU called timeout to set up a 2-yard pitch to Ja'Terian Douglas, who pushed his way into the end zone to give TU the lead for the first time since early in the first quarter.
In the second half, UCF took advantage of good field position after a short TU punt into the wind and scored on a two-yard run by Latavius Murray. The point after was blocked, making the score 21-20 with 4:23 left in the third quarter.
After another Tulsa punt, UCF drove 59 yards to take a 27-20 lead. Bortles completed a 39-yard pass to Perriman on 3rd-and-22 to extend the drive, then the quarterback raced 28 yards to give the Knights the lead with 2:19 on the clock.
Tulsa was stopped on 4th-and-1, but its defense stopped UCF on the following possession. The Hurricane drove to the UCF 11, completing a fourth down pass from Green to Roberson, but its second fourth down attempt fell incomplete. The defense's stop of the Knights set up Watts' game-tying punt return.
Following the Hurricane stopped UCF on its next possession and ran out the clock after taking over on its own 18, forcing overtime. It was the first overtime played in a C-USA Championship game, and first overtime for TU since 2009.

The Ukiah Valley Medical Center is hoping that a planned expansion to its campus on Hospital Drive, that includes adding dedicated trauma rooms to its Emergency Department, will increase the level of care it can provide to critically injured patients.
Currently a Trauma Level IV facility, UVMC is seeking to reach Level III, which spokesman Nick Bejarano said would mean people with "really severe injuries would be able to stay here in town, rather than being taken to Santa Rosa or elsewhere."
Earlier this month, Adventist Health, which owns UVMC, approved another $21 million for the planned expansion of the Emergency Department and the Intensive Care unit, for a total of $41 million.
The new Emergency Department would include "dedicated trauma rooms" to UVMC, which Bejarano said is the "only trauma center in Mendocino County."
Last September, the Ukiah City Council approved UVMC's plan to move its heliport for up to two years while construction was completed.
"I am grateful that we have our hospital here and that they're expanding their emergency department, and I don't in any way want to impede their progress toward expanding," said Council member Mari Rodin at the time.
However, Bejarano said the heliport has not been moved yet and may not be moved at all.
"(Moving the heliport) would have taken away over 100 parking spots over the next two years, which would have impeded both employees and patients," he said, explaining that the hospital was exploring a new plan that he expected would be revealed "in the next couple of months."
Earlier this month, the city's Design Review Board was asked to "conduct a preliminary review" of a proposed Hospital Support Building for UVMC.
Proposed for the northeast corner of the hospital, at 275 Hospital Drive, the building "would collect and organize the scattered delivery process currently serving the hospital."
The first floor is proposed for a loading dock, materials management area, linen services, dietary supply and maintenance and support offices, while the administration office would be on the second story.
Bejarano said moving administration staff out of the hospital would provide "more room for patient care areas."
According to UVMC, "Ukiah community members are making a significant investment in the expansion project," and Allyne Brown, director of philanthropy, said "our generous community has invested $2.6 million to date, including $1.2 million contributed by UVMC physicians and employees."

EL PASO, TEXAS -- The final financial reconciliation for the 2014 Conference USA Championships has been completed. UTEP hosted the event March 11-15 at the Don Haskins Center and Memorial Gym.
A joint resolution signed by the El Paso Sports Commission, the County of El Paso, the City of El Paso, Destination El Paso and the University of Texas at El Paso offered Conference USA a minimum $500,000 guarantee in exchange for the opportunity to host the tournament.
After generating approximately $1.1 million in ticket revenue, UTEP was able to cover tournament expenses and the minimum guarantee to C-USA without requesting funding from the El Paso Sports Commission, County of El Paso, the City of El Paso and Destination El Paso.
The tournament was a rousing success, producing an estimated economic impact of $4.5 million while providing two days of national television exposure for UTEP and the city of El Paso on CBS and CBS College Sports.
"Destination El Paso is very pleased with the final outcome of the 2014 Conference USA Men's and Women's Basketball Championships," said Bryan Crowe, General Manager of Destination El Paso. "With an increase in number of teams [31 total], this made for a longer tournament and more hotel rooms being booked. A total of 3,200 hotel rooms were utilized by teams, cheerleaders, bands, cheer/dance squads, officials, media and fans in attendance which contributed an estimated $4.5 Mil to the local economy. Equally impressive, the event garnered national media attention valued at nearly $400,000."
"The Sports Commission is proud to have been an integral part of the team that was assembled to stage this incredible tournament," said Brian Kennedy, CEO of the El Paso Sports Commission. "From beginning to end, the teamwork of all El Paso was an example of how people coming together can accomplish anything."
"The Sun Bowl Association and its volunteers are committed to showcasing the top-notch hospitality our community offers," said Bernie Olivas. "Events such as the Conference USA Basketball Championships are vital to the growth and promotion of El Paso and we were honored to assist with this event. Our volunteers recognized the importance of supporting UTEP and jumped at the opportunity to create special memories for all of our Conference USA guests."
"Our staff, the city of El Paso, the El Paso Sports Commission, Destination El Paso, and the Sun Bowl volunteers partnered to create a wonderful Conference USA Championship for the second time in four years," said UTEP Director of Athletics Bob Stull. "Conference USA was extremely happy with the quality of the event once again, and we thank everyone for their support."

SONOMA — Teya Neff led the offense with 15 kills and got some help from Elise Boutet's 55 assists as the No. 5 seeded Novato High girls volleyball team gutted out a five-set match over No. 4 Sonoma Valley (27-8) by a 25-10, 21-25, 18-25, 25-20, 16-14 tally on Saturday.

Novato will travel to Moraga to take on No. 1 Campolindo on Wednesday at 7 p.m. for a chance to play for the North Coast Section Division III title. The win also gives the Hornets a berth into the NorCal tournament later this month.
"They really focused on the fourth and fifth sets," Novato coach Mu Chang said. I am very happy how we played today, Sonoma Valley is a very good team, it could have gone either way."
Hannah Jewess spiked 10 kills, followed by Maddie tomsky with six for the Hornets.
Redwood 3, Newark Memorial 1
Bailey Osborn had 12 kills and had it going from the service line, serving 11 consecutive points in Game 3 and had seven aces in the match as the top-seeded Giants defeated No. 8 Newark Memorial (23-11) in four games 27-25, 23-25, 25-11, 25-22. Hannah Gerson led the offense with 13 kills on 19 attempts. Redwood earns a berth in the NorCal tournament and will play No. 4 Las Lomas (34-7) in the D-II semifinal on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Larkspur.
"We passed great, we served tough and we blocked well," Redwood coach Katie Pease said. "We need to minimize a few of our mistakes, other than that we played well tonight."
Lili Barber added 19 digs and Sierra Dawson had 30 assists for the Giants.
MC 3, Berean Christian 0
Cat Thomason led the offense with 12 kills and Frances Howell played outside hitter for the first time and had five kills as the No. 3 Wildcats took care of No. 6 Berean Christian (17-17) by a 25-10, 25-16, 25-16 final. Grace Ryan and Linda Ihnken played well on defense from MC (25-12). The Wildcats will play at No. 2 Cardinal Newman in Santa Rosa on Wednesday at 7 p.m. for a chance to go to the D-IV finals.
"Our defense was really consistent, not making any mistakes," MC coach Jake Spain said. "We're hitting our stride at the right time of the season. We were just very consistent passing, setting and hitting."
Branson 3, Bay School 0
Outside hitter Michelle Pereira provided a team-high 12 kills as the Bulls (36-3) trampled the Breakers (18-8) in three games, 25-14, 25-11 and 25-10 in a D-V quarterfinal playoff match.
Branson advances to Wednesday's semifinals when it hosts Marin Academy in a 7 p.m. match at College of Marin.
Lauren Carson and McKenna Becker combined for another 14 kills as the Bulls cruised to easy victories in all three games. Gabby Steiner notched four service aces and 24 assists and Whitney Hansen was strong on the defensive side with 26 digs.
Marin Academy 3, Convent 1
Kelli Sherwood, capping an outstanding all-around effort, scored the deciding point on a stuff block in a 26-24 game four match-clinching victory as the Wildcats (23-11) eliminated the visiting Cubs (16-8) in a D-V quarterfinal match.
Sherwood, a 5-foot-11 senior middle hitter, notched 17 kills, 24 digs and 11 blocks in the 25-15, 21-25, 25-17, 26-24 triumph.
"We had a good crowd and a lot of energy and channeled that into a strong first game," Marin Academy coach Craig Wong said. "But, as expected, Convent really picked up the defensive intensity and played well for the rest of the match."
In game four, the Wildcats squandered a 24-16 lead before securing the victory. "Convent started playing insane defense and climbed back into it," Wong said.
Marin Academy's junior setter Anna Dawson contributed 35 assists and 25 digs and teammate Hannah Wilton, a junior outside hitter, had 10 kills, 15 digs and three blocks.
The Wildcats advance to a section semifinal match against powerhouse Branson at 7 p.m. Wednesday at COM.
Campolindo 3, Drake 0
MORAGA — Karli Grigsby had 24 kills and Savannah Sanford had 18 digs, but the No. 8 Pirates (18-16) fell to the No. 1 Cougars (25-4) in the D-III quarterfinals 25-23, 25-22, 25-18.
"We were in the first two games and then we fell behind 7-0 in Game 3 and we couldn't dig out of that," Drake coach Lynn Hall said. "We were competitive with the No. 1 seed overall, I think the kids realize where they have to be next year."

THE END: Pages 441 to 445
Hello gang,
The first adventure of Tinkers is finishing here. I hope you enjoyed the ride and the end of this story arc. I had planned to end it on April 2nd. But I wanted to close March with a bunch of pages because you don't deserve to wait any longer. Thank you all for being here, thank you to those who started supporting me from the beginning. Some of you stayed and some of you left, but it doesn't matter, you were also very supportive.
Much effort and time I have spent in doing this project, specially translating everything that I wrote and making grammar mistakes. That's why I appreciate all your support. Thank you so much to those ones who were always helping me to fix the dialogues. I promise you that you will be in the Thank You page. I want to mention, without making you feel bad, that if I finished this project, it was not for you but for me. If I had it done because of the readers I wouldn't finished. Maybe I'd have feel depressed because of the lack of traffic visitors in order to be able to make my living doing this. Or maybe I didn't get commented as much as I saw in other american webcomics, or maybe because I never reach the top 10 of the best comics, or perhaps because I never got a nomination, or whatever… for other things. All this went through my head and almost distracted me from my goal. Then I found the right motivation: to express what I feel and have fun doing it. However, sometimes I was worried to make you have a good time with the dialogues and Tinkers' fun situations. I hope you spent a good time as well.
In advance, thanks for the understanding. But definitely you're an important piece of this project because my work is done just if at least one person read it. Otherwise, it's incomplete. So thanks for being here.
What is coming next is hard work. I want to draw a bunch of pages at the beginning. I also want to redraw and adjust some panels. Polish dialogues and prepare this work either to sell to a publisher or to print it myself.
Expect soon a sneak peek of the concept art book of Tinkers. I promise that the book is fun. I also hope I can print it or at least put it on sale via iTunes. That's why it's important to subscribe to the mailing list to get future news. Well I'm still deciding whether to go to work on the next adventure of Tinkers, or rest a little working on another project I have in mind. Whatever it is, future projects will have a short extension and not as long as this.
So, thanks for reading and thanks for being all the way.
Talk soon friends,
PLEASE VOTE FOR MY WEBCOMIC!!! You can vote every 24 hrs. Help me to reach the top 100 of this month.

text: I'm anticipating a strong off season for the Colts. Lots of cap room, nice draft spot to pick up a d lineman and others throughout the draft. They should sign RB Peyton Hillis. He would be a nice backup to Ballard. Hillis is a power back which would be a counter to Ballard's speed. They could also sign DB Tracy Porter, who could be a nice corner with Davis. I think those two, along with resigning Freeney and McAfee in free agency and drafting lineman on both sides along with another DB could help the Colts big time. OL is the biggest need


text: On budget and ahead of schedule for McCormick Place West expansion January 23, 2007 12:00 AM The minor inconvenience we experienced last year with the construction of the new McCormick Place West expansion project won't affect showgoers, media or manufacturers this year. The connector between the King Drive parking lot is again open, making for easy access to the show. McCormick Place West expansion will now be available in the Fall. Show producers and conventioneers will be able to experience a still higher standard for meetings and exhibitions with the completion of the McCormick Place West Building. It was designed to help achieve any vision any event could imagine. Everything about the building — the configuration, the meeting rooms, the ballroom, the exhibition hall — will reach new heights in flexibility and functionality. Construction on the building is proceeding smoothly and they're planning to open months ahead of the original schedule. It's a testament to the commitment of everyone in Chicago — the hospitality industry, government and skilled labor — to keep Chicago at the forefront as a leading business destination. So how big is it? Well, big enough that Chicago would be able to stage the New York, Los Angeles and Detroit auto shows simultaneously. Hmmmm.... now there's an idea! Back to News

Correction: Citigroup Global Markets is still negotiating a contract to co-manage bond underwriting for Monterey County in regard to the proposed desalination project. The county's debt manager is Chief Deputy Auditor-Controller Ron Holly. A story on Thursday misrepresented Citigroup's contract status with the county and misidentified the county's debt manager.
Borrowing for a proposed regional desalination project isn't likely to happen until several hurdles are cleared, according to the county's newly hired co-managing bond underwriter.
The underwriter has told county officials that funds won't be available at a preferred rate until:
· The county successfully tests the brackish water source that will help feed the desalination project.
· A related water-rights lawsuit is resolved.
· The project is approved by the state Coastal Commission.
An investment grade bond to finance the project could trim several percentage points of interest and millions of dollars from the final cost.
Water Resources Agency general manager Curtis Weeks said at least part of the financing is needed to keep the project on schedule.
The water agency is requesting a California American Water-backed line of credit, as well as an initial segment of bond proceeds, to pay for preliminary costs. The agency has already applied for state-backed tax-exempt bond financing for the project, and a public hearing on the application is set for today in Sacramento.
Weeks acknowledged that the nature of the project agreement makes it challenging to seek financing because it calls for borrowing to cover a variety of project costs while risk factors remain unresolved.
A public-private partnership between the agency, the Marina Coast Water District and Cal Am, the project would include county-owned brackish water wells feeding a desalination plant owned and operated by Marina Coast. The plant would provide a replacement water source for Cal Am's Peninsula customers facing the prospect of a state-ordered reduction in pumping from the Carmel River. Cal Am customers will pay nearly all of the cost of the $400 million project, with interest.
Plans call for the plant to begin delivering water by 2014.
Risk factors
The county's debt manager, Los Angeles-based Citigroup Global Markets, identified the reliability of the project's brackish water source, which will be determined by test wells currently on hold, and related litigation, as well as Coastal Commission approval, as risk factors that could drive up the cost of obtaining financing for the project, according to Chief Deputy Auditor-Controller Ron Holly.
A lawsuit challenging the water resources agency's water rights in the area where the wells would be located near the shoreline north of Marina was filed in January, and the Coastal Commission isn't expected to review the desal proposal until December at the earliest.
Citigroup, which is in the midst of helping create a financing plan for the project in collaboration with Marina Coast's Hutchinson, Shockey, Erley & Co., was hired last month from a list of 11 bidders for the county contract.
Holly said the firm has suggested about $168 million in interest could be saved by obtaining a rating-based loan, and borrowing only enough money to get through various phases of the project. That, he said, could require changes to the project agreement.
Weeks said keeping the project on track will require both the $8 million line of credit from Cal Am, which he described as a "bridge loan," and about $60 million in the first segment of bond proceeds. That would cover preliminary work by the agency and Marina Coast, including a full financing package, as well as engineering and legal tasks, in the next several months.
Project 'seed money'
The agency has already spent about $2 million on the project, which has been reimbursed by Cal Am, including about half on legal costs.
The line of credit has been OK'd by the Cal Am board, the agency board and is headed to the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.
But during a joint committee meeting with county and water resources officials Tuesday, Supervisor Lou Calcagno told Weeks he wouldn't approve the line of credit until a complete financing package is ready for approval.
A financing plan is expected within a month, Holly said.
County Administrative Officer Lew Bauman suggested Weeks prepare a report to the supervisors outlining why the agency and Marina Coast needs the "seed money" to continue with the project.
Weeks pointed out during the committee meeting that the project agreement holds Cal Am and its ratepayers responsible for all costs if the project falls through for any reason, including litigation or failure to secure financing.
The public hearing on the agency's application to the California Pollution Control Financing Authority for $415 million in tax-exempt private activity bonds, low-cost financing intended for qualified waste and recycling projects, is set for 10 a.m. in Room 470, 915 Capitol Mall in Sacramento.
The agency is planning to seek low-interest state revolving fund financing.

MILWAUKEE -- Barry Zito's stunning run of success came to a screeching halt in the third inning Tuesday, leaving a mess that even baseball's most resilient lineup couldn't clean up.
Zito didn't get through the third inning of a 10-8 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park, tying a career-high by giving up nine earned runs, eight of which came in the third. The scoring outburst wasn't enough to dishearten a Giants lineup that scored in four of the next six innings but fell short when Andres Torres' ninth-inning attempt at the game-tying homer died on the warning track for the last out.
"We don't ever really get down," said shortstop Brandon Crawford, who hit his second homer of the year. "We kind of showed our resilience last year, and carried it over."
In his first two starts, Zito had carried over a winning streak that started Aug. 7. That was the first of 16 consecutive Giants victories in games started by Zito, including three in the postseason.
"I can definitely appreciate the fact that the team really clicked on all cylinders when I was out on the mound," Zito said. "Where it mattered most certainly was in the playoffs, and that's something I'll always take pride in."
After one of the worst outings of his career, Zito said it was simply time to put the past in the past. The streak is history, and so was Tuesday's rough outing.
"I actually felt better today than I did my last couple of games," Zito said.
Both of those games included seven shutout innings from Zito, but his season-opening scoreless streak ended early when Carlos Gomez hit a solo homer in the second inning. Zito ran into immediate trouble in the third inning, loading the bases ahead of Ryan Braun. Zito struck out Braun, but Rickie Weeks followed with a two-run double. A single by Jonathan Lucroy scored two more, and the Brewers again loaded the bases.
Yuniesky Betancourt did what Braun couldn't, crushing a grand slam that put the Brewers up 9-3. Zito didn't regret the pitch to Betancourt, saying it was the same changeup that got a pop-up in the second inning.
"They got five hits in a row, and every one of them I'd throw again," Zito said. "I've just got to tip my hat. This is an odd game sometimes."
Manager Bruce Bochy said the same thing in his postgame news conference, pointing out that he never expected to have two starters (Zito and Matt Cain) give up at least eight runs in an inning through the season's first 14 games.
"It's not our norm, where we can't stop the big inning," Bochy said.
What is the norm is the lineup's ability to keep grinding, even when games seem out of hand.
Trailing 9-4 heading into the fifth, the Giants scored a run and loaded the bases with no outs ahead of Hunter Pence. But Pence lined out to short, and Brandon Belt hit a drive to left that was caught near the track as the Giants scored just twice in the inning. They scored another run in the sixth and had two runners on for Buster Posey, but he struck out.
Trailing 10-7 heading into the ninth, the Giants inched closer when Belt's third hit of the day drove in Posey. Torres hit a drive to deep right and thought he got enough of the ball to tie the game, but it ended up being just another hard-hit out on a night when the Giants piled them up.
"It's probably fitting how that game ended," Bochy said. "It was just a lot to overcome."
Right-hander Jean Machi was recalled from Triple-A Fresno and will join the team Wednesday. Bochy said right-hander Heath Hembree and left-hander Dan Runzler were considered.
"We decided to go with Machi," he said. "He's throwing the ball well. We really haven't had a good look at him up here. This spring, we liked the way he was throwing the ball. He'll get the first look."
Affeldt hurt his left oblique in 2010 and had a right oblique strain in 2004. According to the Giants media guide, the 2004 injury, similar to this one, put Affeldt out for nearly two months.
Bochy said it was too early to tell how long Affeldt would be sidelined.

Paula's Choice Moisture Boost Essential Hydrating Toner Reviews
A Toner which Treats You Right!In my teens and early twenties, I judged a toner by how tingling--or even stinging--it felt on my face. I equated alcohol with cleansing, and often used Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol to remove the last traces of soap or cleanser (yikes--I know!). Of course my skin felt taut. Many times my "toner experiences" were followed with a red, irritated look. In my naiveté, I thought that I was doing the r...read moreight thing by stripping my skin of all of its natural oils and discouraging blemishes from forming. In actuality, I was doing just the opposite. My older sister repeatedly asked me not to torment my complexion, but I didn't listen for a few more years. I am fortunate to have emerged relatively unscathed from that brutal treatment! A toner is an essential in the cleansing process. Why? A great toner will remove dirt, grime, and makeup which your cleanser may have missed. Because soap is alkaline in nature, the pH balance is disturbed. Toner will balance it again, bringing it into a normal range (slightly acidic, between five and six). Pores shrink with an astringent! No one likes enlarged pores, but they will appear smaller (use cold water when rinsing for a more pungent effect). Because pores are closed, your skin has added protection. Impurities and environmental contaminants find it harder to make their way into cells. There is a refreshing feel. It should not be the my-face-went-through-a-wringer-washer feel that I used to enjoy, but it will refresh and reinvigorate you. Toners with Glycolic or other AHA acids can actually prohibit ingrown hairs; normally ingrown hairs become blemishes for me, so this is definitely a win-win situation. And some products, like Paula's Choice "Moisture Boost Hydrating Toner" does all of the above while binding moisture to the skin. There is Glycerin, Lecithin, Grape Seed Extract, Allantoin, Willow Herb, and Green Tea in this powerhouse. Skin feels restored and clean but highly comforted. I would describe it as "liquid silk." It is excellent for those with dry, aging, sensitive skin; those with Rosacea will find it soothing and healing. Great work, Paula! — 4 years, 5 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence
Music Therapy in Multiple Sclerosis
Jenny Asparro, Junior at St. Olaf College where she is studying music and neuroscience
Northfield, MN
ŌĆ£No wheelchair can interrupt the journeys of the mind,ŌĆØ said cellist Jacqueline du Pr├®. During her struggle to maintain a brilliant career despite multiple sclerosis, her musical memory was unimpaired by illness. She could easily recall the feeling of playing and used this to her advantage when teaching other aspiring cellists to achieve a high quality musical sound. Music brought her out of depression and helped her stay active and engaged.┬Ā A person does not need to be a virtuoso cellist to recognize and experience the benefits from the therapeutic effects of music. There are a variety of musical approaches that can assist people living with MS to have a better quality of life.┬Ā
History of Music Therapy
The idea that music has a healing influence which can affect health and behavior has been recognized for centuries. The profession of music therapy formally began after World Wars I and II, when the therapeutic effects of music on physical and emotional traumas from the wars were recognized.┬Ā From early studies in the 1800s, where psychologists used music to alter dreams for therapy, to currently using modern technology and equipment, the benefits of music therapy has become the focus of many organizations and discussion in journals worldwide.
Improving Movement and Coordination
The planning and order of movements are essential to everyday activity. Programs in which patients learn to match repetitive motor actions (like hand and foot exercises) with a computer-generated rhythmic beat can improve coordination, concentration, and physical endurance. Through these exercises, patients experienced more even gait. Rhythm stimulates the impulse to move and helps people sidestep the coordination processes they canŌĆÖt think through otherwise. It is almost impossible to fully lose the ability to process music because, unlike speech, it involves so many areas of the brain.
Improving Memory
Memory changes are common in people with MS. Even though some people might find it difficult to recall particular pieces of information or to remember names, words, events etc., they can still learn to carry out new physical tasks. Studies show that the physical task of learning to play an instrument can improve cognition and memory.
If long-term memories seem lost, some studies show listening to music might actually help those memories to return. This is because hearing music is associated with the areas of the brain where long-term memories are kept. As a result, listening to music from past special events or from ŌĆ£the good old timesŌĆØ in oneŌĆÖs life can stimulate feelings and associations with those past events and in part improve access to long-term memories. Familiar music can also improve attention and memory recognition.
Reducing Depression and Anxiety
Some of the hardest issues to cope with for people with MS are emotional ups and downs like feelings of depression and anxiety. Expressing emotions by playing or listening to music can help some people cope with their past or present feelings and also help some deal with their fears. If music therapy is done in a group, it can help establish a closer connection with others, especially since music activates areas of the brain that process social signals, language, and emotions.
Stress Management
Music can relax the mind and body and can even trigger physical reflexes such as digestion, bladder control, and movement of the limbs. Mood may be enhanced by a particularly calming piece of music, and as a result, some people experience less discomfort or pain.
Improved Verbal Communication
Music can also help patients improve their verbal communication skills. Singing words that were otherwise difficult to recite has shown to aid in communication and verbal expression. For example, one might not be able to recite the words to ŌĆ£Happy Birthday,ŌĆØ let alone speak fluently, but as soon as the words are set to music, the words can come naturally. Singing can also help with the breath support, pronunciation, and timing needed for speech.
Where to Find Music Therapy
Music therapy programs are available at VA medical centers across the country. For example, at the Miami VA, a 91-day program that consists of music and guitar therapy sessions for groups and individuals is aimed at helping those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, and other mental health concerns. Through the program, patients have been able to identify their emotions and learn to express them in a beneficial way.┬Ā
Music therapy has also given patients a constructive and enjoyable way to spend leisure time. At the Charleston VA, the Guitars for Vets program has helped Veterans cope with physical and emotional injuries by receiving a guitar, taking lessons, practicing and playing music. This is an enjoyable way to help increase dexterity, strength, memory and emotional healing. Patients with MS can also benefit from these effects of music therapy.
Music therapy can help people with MS.┬Ā It can help with depression, anxiety, memory, and other emotional issues. It also provides the physical benefits that come from staying active and moving. Healing through music, whether therapist-led or self-directed, can be an effective, low-risk, and low-cost endeavor. The cellist Jacqueline du Pr├® was able to maintain a meaningful career despite having MS. Everyone can learn from her example and from others who have used music to improve their quality of life and overall well-being.

To answer your question, Sphere, August 22nd..
I must say, I envy that you'll be able to watch it all together. The season was too complicated to keep track of with all the repeats.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
The Office, loved the ending too.
I have a love - hate relationship with this show. The Michael character is so irritating it's hard to watch sometimes, but I guess that's part of the appeal for most. I love the Jim and Pam characters chemistry, finally he grew a pair. I thought he was just going to tell her he was transferring, great surprise.
I'd would have also loved to see how Dick would have reacted, his character is so oblivoius to anything but partying and chasing p*ssy. I love his character, but maybe from all that happened he'll have a little more depth next season. Hope Mac's character is back too.
I saw the episode and I was happy with it too. Cant wait for next season now. And I like the Michael character cause he is soo annoying
Even Stevens - Such a funny show.
Survivor, got a problem?
King Of The Hill
Little People Big World
Just started the first season of American Dad...

The other day someone condensed what I'd been thinking since American Dad started and Family Guy came back.Originally Posted by naturallystoned
Family Guy gets cancelled.
Seth creates American Dad to "bring it back" with "new" characters, but the same style of humor/stories. Contracts are put in place.
Family Guy comes back, but now Seth is committed to doing both.
Since they came (back), both have been about half as funny as Family Guy was the first 3 years, because Seth's attention/jokes/stories is/are being diffused between two shows instead of all of it being put into Family Guy.
Doctor Who.
If you have even the mildest interest in sci-fi, I highly recommend this show (Sci-Fi Channel, Fridays, 9pm).
Little People, Big World
Had to catch up on everything my taped for me while I was in Vegas last week.
Gyron watching:
Little People, Big World
Good news: "Scrubs" is coming back next season
woohoo! and I watched Daily Show and Colbert Report.
Edit Signature
That is good news. Not until January, though......bummerOriginally Posted by Unclebuck
Seems like the season finally is going to be rather interesting too bad I will have to wait till June 1st to watch it. The day I leave to head to the states is on the finally night. Oh well, lets just hope the VCR works.
I'm glad Scrubs is coming back, but it's not as funny as it used to be.
NCIS season finale again...
Finally got DVR, I love it....
Everybody Loves Raymond
The OC Season Finale
It will be interesting to see next season. I think the series is going to fold pretty soon.
