Indians sign first round pick Zimmer
CLEVELAND, OH - The Cleveland Indians today announced the signing of OF BRADLEY ZIMMER to a Minor League contract. Zimmer was the club's first round (21st overall) selection in the 2014 MLB First-Year Player Draft.
Zimmer, a 6'4", 200-pound left-handed hitting outfielder, hit .368 with 10 doubles, 7 triples, 7 home runs and 31 RBI for the University of San Francisco Dons as a junior during the 2014 season. Zimmer, 21, walked 31 times and recorded a .461 on-base percentage. He posted a .573 slugging percentage and was 21-for-32 in stolen base attempts. The two-time All-West Coast Conference member made all 54 starts in center field and owned a .969 fielding percentage in 2014. He was named a 2014 preseason All-American selection by Louisville Slugger, Baseball America and Perfect Game USA. He is also one of 30 finalists for the Golden Spikes Award that will be announced on July 17.
The La Jolla, CA native was named All-WCC during his sophomore season in 2013, hitting .320 with 7 home runs, 37 RBI and 19 stolen bases.
The Indians have now signed 20 of their 42 selections from the 2014 MLB First-Year Player Draft. Zimmer is in Cleveland and will be available for media interviews this afternoon.

It may not be rocket science, but it's still science.
Hah! I just made one of these suckers w/1.75mm Lash It...not something I want to do often, but it can be done.
It may not be rocket science, but it's still science.
Just found this link today:
It creates a single-ended locked Brummel, much as the McDonald. The difference, per the illustrations, is NOT having to push a full-size eye loop through the little 'football' opening.
I haven't tried it yet (will this evening), but I expect it to work better in smaller cord like Lash- / Zing-it.
Good luck!
Ignorance is temporary. Stupid is forever...
I'm not high maintenance! I'm simply low tolerance.
Yep, that's the same link as in the first post.
The trick to using the NE Ropes method is to use a small piece of whipping twine to pull the line back though itself. It's a little finnicky, but nothing that can't be done.
If you're making a sling with an eye on each end...
Another method that works great in 7/64" and 1/8" amsteel as well as vectran lines is to push the eye on the other end of the line through just as you would the tail. It hurts nothing to enlarge the opening a little and when splicing larger line, drastically opening the line is required.
but my question is WHY??
Locked Brummels are not required. You can use a straight bury or a regular brummel, both of which are stronger. Locked Brummels are WEAKER than the other splicing methods. Some may disagree on how much weaker, but no one with any experience will say they are as strong or stronger.
The reason for locking the brummel is to prevent the splice from working loose under low load conditions. The same thing can be done with a little whipping twine, sewing thread, or dental floss. Either stitch the bury for a couple passes or whip the beginning of the bury. Both methods keep the splice from working loose under low load.

Video: Erica's Home Office Makeover
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
When Crutchfield designer Erica learned that one of her roommates would be moving, she decided to take the opportunity to set up a home office. She wanted a clean uncluttered look, and the ability to really enjoy her music while working.
Video Transcript
My name is Erica. I'm a designer, and I sometimes work at home. My original home office setup was in my bedroom. It was very entry-level — a second-hand desk, a computer, no speaker system. It worked, but I was looking to find a way to make my home office environment more enjoyable to work in.
The first part of the new home office setup was the new desk and the filing cabinet, which has been great because I had files in plastic bins all over my house. So now everything is all in one spot. And the desk also does a really great job of keeping not only my files organized, but also all the wires that are coming off of the computer and the speakers and the monitor.
It has a really neat feature in the back where it has a panel that hides all the wires, so you don't have to see all that mess. One of my other favorite features about the desk is the keyboard tray that pulls out and allows you to access the keyboard and the mouse and then when you're done, it folds back up and goes back into the desk and gives a very streamlined look.
One of the other pieces of equipment that I got was the low mobile file pedestal which allows you to either keep it tucked away underneath the desk when you're using it, or if you need to access the magnetic panels on the desk, you can easily slide it out on the wheels that are on the bottom.
One of the great things about this set up is the AudioQuest DragonFly DAC. A DAC is a digital-to-analog converter, and what it does is bypass your computer's built-in sound card, and processes the music so that you get a higher quality sound. And I have Paradigm Shift A2 speakers which have been great. I haven't actually turned the speakers up to their full capacity because it would really blow down the house probably, and I have neighbors and a roommate to think about.So the other part of my office set up that has been really great is a pair of Bowers and Wilkins P3 headphones. The P3 headphones are really great. They're lightweight, they're comfortable, and they also give me really great sound so I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by having the headphones on.
I also have a Panasonic cordless phone set that has a base station which I have here in the office, and it comes with five additional handsets which you can put all over the house. The really great thing about it is that it syncs via Bluetooth to my cell phone, so I can have my cell phone charging in another room in the house, and as long as it can talk to the Bluetooth station here, if I get a phone call it's gonna ring on all the handsets in the house.
So now that I have all this great office equipment, I really wanted to make sure that nothing was going to happen to it, so I also have power protection from Panamax — which I have all the audio equipment and my computer and monitor plugged into to keep it safe. If you have any questions about setting up an audio system like this or other gear give Crutchfield a call.

Ending a tax break that lets oil companies quickly deduct labor and other drilling costs would be a devastating hit on the country's booming energy sector, a top energy adviser to Republican Mitt Romney's presidential campaign told lawmakers on Tuesday.
Harold Hamm, the Oklahoma billionaire who runs Continental Resources Inc told the Senate Finance Committee that his company would have to cut a third of its drilling if the industry lost the "intangible drilling costs" break when Congress overhauls the U.S. tax code.
"We could stop this energy renaissance. We certainly do not want to do that," Hamm told lawmakers at a hearing on tax reform and energy policy.
The hearing was part of a series that Max Baucus, a moderate Democrat from Montana, has been holding for more than a year as lawmakers gear up for tax code reforms after the November 2012 elections.
Hamm, a pioneer in using new hydraulic fracturing technology often referred to as "fracking" to open up vast domestic supplies of oil and natural gas, said his comments did not reflect the policy of Continental Resources or the Romney campaign.
"I'm not here on behalf of the Romney campaign," he said.
Tax breaks for the booming oil and gas sector have attracted political scrutiny ahead of the November elections and with high gasoline costs.
President Barack Obama has proposed ending tax breaks for the industry's largest players, like Exxon Mobil and Chevron.
A Harvard University economist told lawmakers that tax reform provides an "opportunity" to create a new tax on fossil fuel use that would reflect the health costs of pollution from coal plants and oil used for fuel.
"In order to have a truly level playing field, we need to recognize the environmental hidden costs associated with the combustion of fossil fuels," Dale Jorgenson said.
The tax could raise total revenues of 1.5 percent of gross domestic product, he said.
Reflecting data on health costs from fossil fuel use, the tax would fall hardest on coal at $108 per short ton and oil, at $16.30 per barrel, Jorgenson said.
"You probably don't want to introduce it - not before November," quipped Don Nickles, a former Oklahoma senator whose lobby firm's clients include Exxon and Anadarko Petroleum .
Nickles, who is on the board of Chesapeake Energy Corp , told reporters the United States has a competitive advantage over many other countries that could be put at risk with energy consumption taxes.
"I just don't see that happening. It's not ready for prime-time," he told reporters, noting a consumption tax would be unlikely to gain enough support in Congress.

Abad looking to be second lefty in A's 'pen
PHOENIX -- Fernando Abad has given up runs in back-to-back appearances and in three of his six outings this spring, but he might already have secured a spot in the A's bullpen as the second left-hander behind Sean Doolittle.
Manager Bob Melvin has really liked what he's seen from Abad, who was acquired in a trade with the Nationals in November.
"He's been throwing 95 [mph] with a wipeout breaking ball," Melvin said. "When he's gotten in trouble a little bit is when he's tried to throw some changeups and establish that third pitch."
That third pitch likely won't be necessary in any big league role Abad would fill.
"But it's always good to work on things," Melvin said.
Abad is out of options, but Drew Pomeranz and Joe Savery still are in contention as second bullpen lefties. Pomeranz, acquired in the offseason trade that sent Brett Anderson to the Rockies, has been a starter nearly all of his short career, but he appears headed toward a relief role in the A's organization.
"We're going to shorten him up and look at him in shorter stints," Melvin said, "look at him against left-handers."

How Is Salivary Gland Cancer Diagnosed?
Salivary gland cancer is most often diagnosed when a person goes to a doctor because of symptoms he or she is having.
If you have signs or symptoms that might be caused by a salivary gland tumor, your doctor will do exams and tests to find out if it's cancer or some other condition. If cancer is found, other tests may be done to find out if it has spread.
Medical history and physical exam
Usually the first step is to take your medical history. The doctor will ask about your symptoms and when they first appeared. You might also be asked about possible risk factors for salivary gland cancer and about your general health.
During the physical exam, your doctor will carefully examine your mouth and the areas on the sides of your face and around your ears and jaw, and will feel for enlarged lymph nodes (lumps under the skin) in your neck area, since these could be signs of cancer spread.
The doctor will also check for numbness or weakness in part of your face (which can happen when cancer spreads into nerves) and any other related problem that you may be having.
If the results of this exam are abnormal, your doctor may order imaging tests or refer you to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor, also known as an otolaryngologist, who will do a more thorough exam of the head and neck area.
Imaging tests
Imaging tests use x-rays, magnetic fields, or radioactive particles to create pictures of the inside of your body. Imaging tests may be done for a number of reasons, including to help find a suspicious area that might be cancer, to learn how far cancer may have spread, and to help find out if treatment has been effective.
If you have a lump or swelling near your jaw, your doctor may order x-rays of the jaws and teeth to look for a tumor.
If you have been diagnosed with cancer, an x-ray of your chest may be done to see if the cancer has spread to your lungs. This also provides other information about your heart and lungs that might be useful if surgery is planned.
Computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan
A CT scan uses x-rays to produce detailed cross-sectional images of your body. Unlike a regular x-ray, CT scans can show the detail in soft tissues (such as internal organs). A CT scan can show the size, shape, and position of a tumor and can help find enlarged lymph nodes that might contain cancer. If needed, CT scans can also be used to look for tumors in other parts of the body.
Instead of taking one picture, like a regular x-ray, a CT scanner takes many pictures as it rotates around you. A computer then combines these into images of slices of the part of your body that is being studied.
Before the scan, you may be asked to drink 1 to 2 pints of a liquid called oral contrast. This helps outline the intestine so that certain areas are not mistaken for tumors. This is most often needed for CT scans of the abdomen or pelvis.
You may also receive an IV (intravenous) line through which a different kind of contrast dye (IV contrast) is injected. This helps better outline structures in your body. The injection can cause some flushing (redness and warm feeling). Some people are allergic and get hives or, rarely, more serious reactions like trouble breathing and low blood pressure. Be sure to tell the doctor if you have any allergies or have ever had a reaction to any contrast material used for x-rays.
A CT scanner has been described as a large donut, with a narrow table that slides in and out of the middle opening. You need to lie still on the table while the scan is being done. CT scans take longer than regular x-rays, and you might feel a bit confined by the ring you have to lie in while the pictures are being taken.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
Like CT scans, MRI scans make detailed images of soft tissues in the body. But MRI scans use radio waves and strong magnets instead of x-rays. The energy from the radio waves is absorbed and then released in a pattern formed by the type of body tissue and by certain diseases. A computer translates the pattern into very detailed images of parts of the body. A contrast material called gadolinium is often injected into a vein before the scan to better see details.
MRI scans can help determine the exact location and extent of a tumor. Sometimes they can help a doctor tell a benign tumor from a malignant one. They can also help tell if any lymph nodes are enlarged or if other organs have suspicious spots, which might be due to the spread of cancer.
MRI scans take longer than CT scans – often up to an hour – and are a little more uncomfortable. You may have to lie on a table that slides into a narrow tube, which is confining and can upset people who have a fear of enclosed spaces. Newer, more open MRI machines can sometimes be used instead if needed. The MRI machine makes buzzing and clicking noises that you may find disturbing. Some places will provide earplugs or headphones to help block this noise out.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
A PET scan looks for areas of high cellular activity (which might be a sign of cancer), rather than just showing if areas look abnormal based on their size or shape. This test can help show whether an abnormal lump or tumor seen on another imaging test may be cancer. If you have been diagnosed with cancer, your doctor may use this test to see if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. A PET scan can also be useful if your doctor thinks the cancer might have spread but doesn't know where.
For this test, you receive an injection of a radioactive substance (usually a type of sugar known as FDG). The amount of radioactivity used is very low and will pass out of the body over the next day or so. Because cancer cells in the body are growing quickly, they absorb more of the radioactive sugar. After about an hour, you are moved onto a table in the PET scanner. You lie on the table for about 30 minutes while a special camera creates a picture of areas of radioactivity in the body. The picture is not finely detailed like a CT or MRI scan, but it can provide helpful information about your whole body. Some machines are able to do both a PET and CT scan at the same time (PET/CT scan). This lets the doctor compare areas of higher radioactivity on the PET scan with the more detailed picture of that area on the CT scan.
Symptoms and the results of exams or imaging tests may strongly suggest you have salivary gland cancer, but the actual diagnosis is made by removing cells from an abnormal area and looking at them under a microscope. This is known as a biopsy. Different types of biopsies might be done, depending on the situation.
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy
An FNA biopsy is used to remove a small amount of cells and fluid from a lump or tumor for testing. This type of biopsy can be done in a doctor's office or clinic. It's done with a thin, hollow needle much like those used for routine blood tests.
Your doctor may first numb the area over the tumor with local anesthesia. The doctor then puts the needle directly into the tumor and pulls cells and a few drops of fluid into a syringe. The sample is then sent to a lab, where it's checked under a microscope to look for cancer cells.
Doctors may use FNA if they are not sure whether a lump is a salivary gland cancer. The FNA might show the lump is due to an infection, a benign (non-cancerous) salivary tumor, or a salivary gland cancer. In some cases this type of biopsy can help a person avoid unnecessary surgery.
An FNA biopsy is only helpful if enough cells are taken out to be able to tell for certain what a tumor is made of. But sometimes not enough cells are removed, or the biopsy is read as negative (normal) even when the tumor is cancer. If the doctor is not sure about the FNA results, a more extensive type of biopsy might be needed.
Incisional biopsy
This type of biopsy may sometimes be done if the FNA biopsy does not get a large enough sample to examine. In this procedure, the surgeon numbs the area over the tumor, makes a small incision (cut) with a scalpel and takes out a tiny part of the tumor. The specimen is sent to the lab to be looked at by the pathologist. These types of biopsies are not done often for salivary gland tumors.
As mentioned above, FNA biopsy of a suspected salivary gland cancer may not always provide a clear answer. If this is the case but the physical exam and imaging tests suggest that cancer may be present, the doctor may advise surgery to remove the tumor completely. This can both provide enough of a sample for a diagnosis and treat the tumor at the same time (see Surgery for Salivary Gland Cancer for more information).
In some cases if the exams and tests suggest cancer is likely, the doctor may skip the FNA biopsy altogether and go directly to surgery to remove the tumor. The specimen is then sent to the lab to confirm the diagnosis.

By the fourth day of the California Highway Patrol's Maximum Enforcement Period, officials on Tuesday reported a slight increase in the number of suspected drunken driver arrests statewide.
Across the state, 1,273 motorists were taken into custody on suspicion of driving under the influence compared to the 1,270 who were arrested during the New Year's holiday weekend last year, according to the CHP.
Officials said that so far during the MEP, which began Friday at 6 p.m., there has been one fatal collision in the CHP's Bay Area jurisdiction and 208 suspected DUI arrests. In 2011, the Bay Area recorded three fatalities and the same number of arrests for those suspected of driving under the influence.
Statewide, 19 people have died in traffic collisions, down from last year's total of 25, authorities said. Sixteen of those deaths occurred on CHP-patrolled roadways, while another three took place within the jurisdiction of city police.
Two pedestrians and a bicyclist riding without a helmet were among those killed, authorities reported. Of the 13 vehicle occupants killed in CHP's jurisdiction, officials said four of them were not wearing seat belts.

Fairfax County and USGS Partner for Watershed Monitoring
Under a joint funding agreement between Fairfax County and the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Stormwater Planning Division began a long-term monitoring effort in 2007 to identify countywide conditions and trends in stream water quality and quantity. The information collected will be used to evaluate the benefits of future watershed improvement projects.
Initially, there were 14 sites in the monitoring network. After five years of successful data collection, the decision was made to increase the spatial coverage of the network. In 2012, the study expanded to 20 sites to provide a more comprehensive overview of Fairfax County. Fifteen of these sites are monitored manually on a monthly basis; the remaining five sites are equipped with automated stream gages (pictured to the right) which are monitored continuously. Instruments at the five automated gages measure six indicators, including:
- stream height (how much does the elevation of water change between normal conditions and storm events)
- water temperature
- dissolved oxygen (how much oxygen is in the water)
- pH (how acidic or basic is the water)
- specific conductance (a measurement of the dissolved solids in the water)
- turbidity (how clear is in the water)
The automated stations measure these six indicators every 15 minutes, creating approximately 44,000 data points per year. Data are transmitted via satellite and posted hourly to a USGS stream gage website. These automated stations also collect stream water samples during storm events. These samples are analyzed for sediment and nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) concentrations. Monthly samples are collected at all 20 sites under various weather conditions and analyzed. Approximately 300 water samples are collected and analyzed each year. Results from the 2012 sampling year are published in the 2012 Stormwater Status Report.
Interpretation of water quality conditions and trends requires multiple years of data; therefore, trend analyses are not yet available for this study.
For additional information, please email the Stormwater Planning Division or call 703-324-5500, TTY 711.

Daniels' Purdue pay 10th among Big 10 presidents
Outgoing Gov. Mitch Daniels' salary in his new job as president of Purdue University will rank no better than 10th among Big Ten peers.
The school announced Saturday its Board of Trustees had approved a five-year, five-month contract that pays Daniels a base annual salary of $420,000 plus incentives that could increase his pay as high as $546,000. Purdue says data from April shows Daniels' potential salary would rank 10th among the 12 Big Ten university presidents.
Compensation for previous Purdue President France Cordova, including deferred compensation, was $555,000.
The five incentive areas are: student affordability, graduation and student achievement, philanthropic support, faculty excellence and recognition, and strategic program development with demonstrated student outcomes. Purdue says the goals for Daniels' first year will be finalized in June.

Stylist: MimmoRating:
I would give Prisma 1.5/5, but left it at 2/5 since there are no half's on this site. I had very high hopes going to this salon given the reviews on this site, and I was very disappointed. The only two things I asked of Mimmo in creating my hair style was that A) it would be easy and quick to maintain; B) it would look professional. Mimmo fulfilled neither. The style Mimmo suggested as "best" for me required 5 separate products ranging from $16-50 per 8 oz bottle and nearly an hour to complete EVERY TIME I WASHED MY HAIR! This 1 hour process required special equipment, dividing your hair into a million different sections, and special clips (which he just so happens to sell...shocking). Not exactly quick nor easy to maintain. It gets worse. Mimmo took my gorgeous 3a curls and turned them into 2b-2c waves. How? By weighing them down with so many different hair products! When I expressed my dissatisfaction with what he had done, his response was "oh well for someone with your hair, this is the only way to get curls" and then recommended a whole OTHER set of products for people who don't like it to look like an entire case of gel was dumped on their head. Not only was he wrong about my curls, he also made my hair look very unprofessional. I doubt looking like I just jumped out of the shower at say, a 2 pm meeting would instill confidence in my employer or clients. I would have given Mimmo a rating of 1/5, but bumped him 0.5 of a point because the actual hair cut was decent. When I washed all the crud out of my hair, my ringlets returned and did seem to be tighter and bouncier than before. However, at $150, the hair cut was VERY overpriced. I have gotten a marginally better hair cut at the smart style in my local Walmart, and it cost me $30 with a VERY generous tip to the stylist. Sadly, the stylist is currently on maternity leave, so my quest for a competent curly hairstylist will have to continue.
Stylist: MimmoRating:
I had the most amazing experience! Felt like I was on one of those make over shows with all the attention I received. I have dealt with what I consider to be dry, frizzy, unruly curly hair my entire life and was in desperate need of help. I heard my cousins all talking about Ouidad on FB and began researching what it was all about. The closest certified salon to where I live in Buffalo, NY was in Toronto. I began e-mailing Mimmo and he was wonderful even before I decided to make the trek to Canada by responding to every and I mean daily e-mails with my questions. After corresponding with him for two weeks, the decision to allow an expert in curly hair to work on mine was a no-brainer. I will admit excited as I was, I was still very anxious as I have not changed my hair style in more years than I can remember. Everyone at Prisma was kinder than the next and reassured me along the way all would be fine. It was!! Stepahnia held my hand as she showed me how to style it, what products to use and how to get the look I wanted. Mimmo, is a master! The knowledge I received in one afternoon about taking care of curly hair was amazing. Mimmo truly loves hair and his expertise shows. I will be back in March for my next visit and can't wait! If you have curly hair, you must go to Prisma!!
Stylist: MimmoRating:
I've been going to Mimmo at Prisma Hair Design for many, many years. Mimmo is AMAZING!!!. No one else compares. I always get tons of compliments on my hair. He is an incredible artist and is great at what he does. He is truly one of a kind. I feel right at home when I go to Prisma. Everyone I've recommended to Mimmo have loved their haircuts, colour, style and agree that he truly is an artist. Toronto is LUCKY to have a hair dresser of his caliber right here. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! Can't wait to go back.
Stylist: AnonymousRating:
Last Jan I decided to get the softening treatment for my fizzy curly hair. Not an easy decision since it is very expensive. However, 4 months later my hair is still relaxed and very easy to manage. Mimmo and Stefania are a great team giving me the best haircut I have ever had. I will go back SM
Stylist: MimmoRating:
UGH I will never go back! I originally went there because they sell the Ouidad products and they sounded like the holy grail of curly hair. I was looking at the products and Mimmo (owner) told me I had a very nice curl....unfortunately after years of colouring my hair (from a natural brunette to blonde) and straightening my curls are not what they used to be so I didn't think they were that great. I thought they could help my curls. I made an appointment. The service was cold...when he spoke to me it was like he was telling me all the things I did wrong with my hair... I saw a lot of cutting but tried to stay optimistic. When it was time to put the products in my hair his daughter did it. She did tell me how to do it etc. When I was done...my hair was a crunchy, wet looking, no bounce, stiff sorta curly hair style. It was awful!!! The hair cut ends up being rounded at the bottom so you can't wear it straight. MImmo said - "you're not supposed to wear it straight" ... I went home and washed it out and did it my self and it turned out better. It was $200+ haircut that wasn't worth one penny.
Stylist: AnonymousRating:
I first met Mimmo 3 years ago when I came to Prisma to find out if I really did have curly hair (my long-time stylist told me it was only wavy). One Ouidad cut later, Mimmo showed me that I really did have curly hair! All the way through the process Mimmo explained what he was doing and how to use Ouidad's products. I love going there--it's worth the 2 hour trip from Buffalo!
Stylist: Mimmo
I drove 3 hours as I'd heard about the Ouidad products and was willing to go for it! So glad I did. They were fun, welcoming, and trained me on how to use the products and how to deal with my frizzy hair. I've been back one and will continue to go. Lots of fun......have had tons of nice comments about wearing my hair curly for the first time in years and years..............AAWESOME PLACE!!!

Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service is reminding local businesses to take extra care when firefighters go out on strike this week.
As part of a national dispute between the Fire Brigades' Union and the Government, firefighters will be taking industrial action across three days this weekend:
• Friday, May 2, noon to 5pm;
• Saturday, May 3, 2pm to 2am;
• Sunday, May 4, 10am to 3pm.
This will result in reduced emergency fire cover across the county for the periods of strike action.
The service says a reduction in emergency fire cover does not increase the risk of a fire occurring at the workplace or in other public buildings but it does mean that employers and building managers in the commercial, public and voluntary sectors need to be extra aware of fire safety.
Chief Fire Officer Simon Routh-Jones said: "During the industrial action, we will still be responding to 999 calls, but it may take us a little longer than usual to arrive and, with larger premises, we may send a smaller attendance than usual in the first instance.
"We would therefore urge those people responsible for the safety of commercial or public buildings to be extra vigilant and to review their fire risk assessments.
"Such risk assessments are required in law, so should already be in place.
"However, we would recommend that all fire safety measures are checked so that they continue to be adequate and appropriate, and both fire alarm and fire suppression systems are checked to ensure that they work properly."
The following top tips should be followed by all businesses:
• Review your risk assessment and emergency plan – make sure it's up to date.
• Make sure your fire detection systems are working effectively and that everyone in the building(s) understands what they should do if the alarms activate.
• Practise your emergency evacuation plan to ensure that both staff and visitors can escape quickly and easily – don't forget that people with disabilities may need extra help.
• Ensure that fire wardens are properly trained and that their training is up to date.
• Reduce fire hazards – keep sources of ignition well away from flammable materials or substances.
• Ask staff to be extra vigilant to the risk of fire and to report any concerns.
• Keep escape routes free from obstacles and check signage and emergency lighting.
• Keep fire doors shut – they should always be shut anyway.
• Switch off electrical equipment when not in use.
• Make sure any firefighting equipment you have works and that everyone expected to use it knows how to do so safely.
• Reduce the risk of arson – minimise the build-up of rubbish and store it in a safe place. Keep your building secure.
• Take special care to avoid the possibility of a false alarm – during industrial action, the Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service will only respond to automated alarms that have been verified by a 999 call.
• If you do have a fire, evacuate the building and call 999 – you will get a response.

chad ford... chat
Cory (Sedona, AZ): Adande mentioned off hand of the Pacers going after Amare... Tell me it's true! We want him gone here, are there peaces in Indiana that us Suns fans would like?
Chad Ford: They and every other team in the league. Amare may be a pain in the butt, but he's a talented pain in the butt. Pacers are one of the few teams that have lots of assets right now. They have expiring contracts, they have a lottery pick, they have young players and they have a few nice role players with decent contracts. They'd be in the running for sure. But so will a lot of teams.
he also mentions the magic having a possibilities of going after tinsley..
IF ONLY AMARE HAD THE MENTALITY OF DANNY......but then again he would not be on the block if he was logical.

ASTON -- The hunt for the man police say ejaculated on a woman in the cereal aisle of a local supermarket ended Sunday with his arrest in West Point, Ky.
Bobby Carter, 51, a registered sex offender, was apprehended by West Point police after a brief vehicle pursuit.
Carter is being housed in the Hardin County Jail on fugitive and other charges. Extradition proceedings have been initiated to bring Carter back to Pennsylvania to face charges in connection with the March 2 incident at the Giant Food Store on Concord Road.
The victim, a 36-year-old township woman, was shopping in the cereal aisle around 10:16 a.m. March 2 when she felt "something" hit her in the back, according to court documents. When she felt the back of her pants, they were wet with what the victim believed to be ejaculate, police said.
The victim's pants were sent to the Pennsylvania State Police Crime Lab. It was later confirmed that the substance on the pants was semen, according to the affidavit of probable cause written by Detective Joseph Nardone.
Police reviewed video surveillance footage and saw a white man, in his early 50s, entering the store after parking his tractor-trailer in the front lot, according to the affidavit.
The suspect walked into the store, approached the customer service counter and asked for directions to the "industrial park."
After getting directions to the I-95 Industrial Park from a store employee, the truck driver began walking around the grocery store. He wasn't looking at anything on the store shelves, but instead appeared to be following female customers around with his hand in his right pants pocket, police said.
Surveillance video picked up the suspect exiting the cereal aisle directly behind the victim, according to the affidavit.
The video footage shows the victim reaching behind and checking the back of her pants as the suspect walks away. He was seen leaving the store while glancing over in the victim's direction as if checking to see if he was being followed, the affidavit states.
In the days after the incident, investigators reviewed surveillance videos from a number of businesses in the I-95 Industrial Park in Chester Township and in Aston.
They determined the suspect had driven to the International Container Line warehouse on March 2 to make a pickup.
By comparing invoices to the driver logs, investigators determined that Carter signed in at 9:10 a.m. that day. The driver's log showed Carter's Kentucky driver's license and date of birth.
By comparing photos from the Giant video with Carter's previous arrest photos, they were able to determine Carter was their suspect and a warrant was signed for his arrest.
Kentucky law enforcement authorities arrested Carter on Sunday. He was charged with fleeing and eluding police and being a fugitive from Pennsylvania.
A resident of Leitchfield, Ky., Carter was previously convicted of sexual battery in Florida in 1992 and is on the Kentucky Lifetime Sex Offender Registry. He has an extensive criminal history that also includes convictions for burglary, grand theft, forgery and other offenses.
Carter will be arraigned on the local charges of indecent assault, stalking, and related offenses once he is returned to Pennsylvania.

XENIA, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities say an armed robbery suspect was wounded in a shootout with Ohio police that also left an officer injured by either flying glass or gunfire.
It happened in Xenia (ZEEN'-yuh), near Dayton, on Tuesday night when a man with a.45-caliber semi-automatic pistol tried to rob a GameStop store.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/14LZzu1 ) reports that the robber took a store employee hostage and forced her to drive off. Officers said he stopped the car and ran off, firing into a police cruiser that cut him off.
The man was hit once in the ensuing gunfight and hospitalized in unknown condition. The officer hit by either glass or gunfire suffered a laceration to his arm. He was treated at a hospital and released.
No names have been released.

Dean & Deluca recently took a bulk of their bakery production in-house (though you can still get goodies from places like Lady M, Balthazar, and Amy's Bread). The house sweets are hit and miss, but stay close to slices of custardy cherry clafoutis ($5), white chocolate cookies, and cupcakes, and you'll be pleasantly surprised. A Banana Nutella Cupcake ($3) features a banana cake base that's more akin to a hearty slice of dense and moist banana bread than fluffy cupcake. That's a good thing. It's topped with smooth whipped Nutella buttercream and toasted hazelnuts. A classic combo, so easy to love.

Printing franchise makes Delaware its new home
The Industrial Park in Newport is about 85-percent full thanks to businesses like Speedpro Imaging, a printing franchise that celebrated its September opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday.
According to Newport Mayor Michael Spencer, keeping the Industrial Park packed with businesses can be a challenge due to the struggling economy. However, today's ribbon cutting celebration is a sign that the local economy is moving in the right direction.
"What it means is continued expansion of our business district down here and of course jobs. We're always worried about jobs and we want people working," said Mayor Spencer.
Speedpro Imaging has a small staff now says marketing manager Amanda Summer, but not for long. As business increases at the company, the goal is to add more jobs to its Marsh Lane office.
"A lot of our people are being put to work and that's the biggest thing. When this business district gets filled up, it makes it easy to keep attracting more business," added Mayor Spencer.
Speedpro Imaging has many locations, but this is the first franchise in the state.

SANTA CRUZ -- Blindsided by revelations of fracking in waters off the coast of California, the state's Coastal Commission on Thursday vowed an investigation into the controversial practice, including what powers the agency has to regulate it.
The decision came weeks after reports that the oil industry has fracked wells in federal waters off the coast, an activity that has drawn the attention of state lawmakers. Environmental groups also produced documents this week showing fracking has occurred on a dozen wells just off the coast of Long Beach, in state waters.
"We take our obligation to protect the marine environment very seriously and we will be looking at this very carefully," said Charles Lester, executive director of the Coastal Commission.
The agency, which met this week in Santa Cruz, has clear oversight over oil production in state waters. But it also verifies federal approvals for compliance with state coastal regulations, though it has never held up a project.
"If anybody has the wherewithal and the ability to get to the bottom of something it is the Coastal Commission," said Dan Haifley, executive director of the Santa Cruz-based O'Neill Sea Odyssey. "I think they'll do a very thorough investigation on what is a new, unstable element in a less than stable technology, which is offshore oil drilling."
Haifley was one of about 20 locals who packed the Coastal Commission meeting in downtown Santa Cruz on Thursday, doubling the size of the crowd. They all spoke out against fracking, citing environmental risks.
"(The oil industry's) bottom line isn't our welfare, and as the Coastal Commission, representing the people of California and all other living creatures of the Central Coast, this is your opportunity to be our advocate for health and safety," said Phyllis Greenleaf, a local educator who serves on the board of the Live Oak Unified School District.
In addition to earlier revelations of a dozen instances of deep-water fracking, the San Francisco-based Center for Biological Diversity produced documents this week showing a number of wells on the so-called "oil islands" in San Pedro Bay near Long Beach have also been fracked.
"I was satisfied to hear that they're taking it seriously, and it's sort of shocking that they didn't know about it," said Emily Jeffers, a staff attorney with the Center of Biological Diversity.
Los Angeles-based Occidental Petroleum, which owns several of the wells near Long Beach, did now reply to a request to comment.
The revelations clearly caught the Coastal Commission unaware. It set no time line for its investigation, which will include talks with state and federal regulators authorities and a dive into the process for fracking in a marine environment.
"We do not yet understand the extent of fracking in federal or state waters, nor fully understand its risks," said Coastal Commission Deputy Director Allison Dettmer, who will lead the effort.
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a process of injecting a brew of pressurized water and chemicals into the ground to free up previously unattainable oil. The process has fueled economic booms from North Dakota to West Texas.
Fracking has occurred in California for decades, and with the popularity of the practice the state Legislature is weighing a package of regulations. Numerous water quality, geologic and environmental issues have arisen from the process of reinjecting the wastewater back into the earth.
Last week, several state lawmakers -- including Assemblymember Mark Stone, D-Scotts Valley, a former vice chair of the Coastal Commission -- asked federal regulators to open a probe into offshore fracking. Those lawmakers also sent an Aug. 8 letter to the Coastal Commission urging it to take up the issue.
In a statement prepared for the Commission's meeting on Thursday, Stone said it was time for some oversight of the practice.
"We know that oil fields off of our coast can leak into the ocean," Stone said. "Imagine if those leaks contain fracking fluids and chemical cocktails that had been injected into offshore wells."

OXFORDSHIRE County Council will decide next week whether to go ahead with plans for a new park-and-ride.
The authority wants to build a 580-space car park outside Bicester to help tackle congestion coming into the town.
And on Monday its planning and regulation committee will decide whether the facility off Vendee Drive by the A41 can go ahead.
Martin Tugwell, the council's deputy director of strategy and infrastructure planning, has urged the committee to approve the scheme.
Busy periods like the Christmas sales often see roads around shopping centre Bicester Village gridlocked by traffic.
It is hoped the facility will be able to act as a park-and-ride both for people going into Oxford and into Bicester.
James Porter, the leader of Bicester Town Council, said: "The park-and-ride will hopefully alleviate some of the long-standing congestion problems we have had around Bicester.
"It will be helpful but needs to be seen as part of a longer strategy in dealing with traffic."
Miranda Markham, community relations director at Bicester Village, said: "We are pleased that this application is going forward.
"The park-and-ride will be available for Bicester Village customers on weekends and bank holidays to relieve road congestion and is part of a multi-million-pound package of investments including new lanes, roundabouts and traffic systems which will support a transformational change in the road infrastructure around Bicester and encourage positive economic growth."
The scheme is part of £11m plans to combat congestion on the A41 and Oxford Road at the junction for Bicester Village.
These includes new junctions, extra lanes and a 'hamburger' roundabout on the A41.
Parking at the car park would be free, though free long-stay parking at the county council's Thornhill and Water Eaton park and rides was scrapped in April before short-stay fees were introduced in November.
Last year, Oxford's park-and-ride system, the first in the country, celebrated its 40th birthday.
In a report on the plans, Mr Tugwell said: "The proposed development would provide a new interchange facility which would make it easier for people to use public transport for part of their journey to Bicester or Oxford."
A decision on whether the park-and-ride should go ahead will be made at a meeting on Monday at County Hall in New Road, Oxford, at 2pm. Members of the public can attend.


text: From Today's Agility Run through... So got there early and of course took forever to set up and my friend and I kinda missed the walk through *whoops* So we had no idea what the course was and got so confused and yeah wasn't pretty... Oh and worst part I left my cappuccino from QT in the car! *oh the horror* I was dead set on drinking it, but I couldn't cuz my mom left T_T Anywho we ended up doing just two runs today! Our first one... well that was a flop. As I said we didn't walk the course so was kinda just playing it by ear and haha yeah. Abby was absolutely nuts! She started off running in circles then takes off and jumps the gate -_- Then she jumps back over and comes straight to me and sits and we did a couple more obstacles and then called it quits. So we didn't finish the course. However even though she took off I was happy with the run because at least she listened and came right back when I called her. Also talked with my instructor after the run and a lot of her running off and sniffing and such was caused by ring stress and I could tell from the beginning because she was a bit growly with other dogs and scratching and just acting a bit stressed. So I wasn't at all surprised by her behavior. New place, new dogs, new smell etc. 2nd run was sooooo much better. We were able to finish the course and she was freaking awesome! And best part I got to walk it! haha. She did her A-frame, the chute, the weaves though her weaves epically failed and the table. She was clearly a lot less stressed and I was super happy I brought her. She was awesomeful and got lots of cookies at the end. And Twister. Well he barked a lot... He got better towards the end and became BFF's with my friend molly. At the end he was just like "ahh I love you feed me cookies now" I got him out of his crate a few times and we worked on sits and tugging and he was good except when other dogs barked and when he saw other dogs. Both times he would bark. But hopefully with time he'll get better. And again towards the end he did a lot better and we did a little LAT stuff and he was such a good lil man. So next weekend we have a trial! Wish us luck! I has pics(didn't take many though) and videos of our runs! Most my pics are of Twister cuz I had to keep abby crated and covered because she was being a bit stressy and nuts when other dogs walked past. But yeah I have her first run on my camera and I think my friend has the second one on hers... Anywho pics! crate Set up My friends pupper Shiloh being such a good girlie daw Tug Tug Tug Twister says Molly is his new BFF (more)

I'm a big fan of Mike Gansey from West Virginia. Too early to take at 17 but he's a lights-out shooter who isn't one dimensional. Complete player although he is small.
Luke Jackson but the player he REALLY wanted was Ben Gordon.
I would not be surprised to see Bird try and move up. He is still
looking for a scorer. If Shelden Williams fell to the Pacers I would be
very happy with that too.
There is no doubt he can shoot the ball, but one demensional players can be shut down in the NBA much easier then they can in the college game.
Morrison being 6'8" and his ability to attack the basket makes him a much more attractive NBA player.
Ah, forgot how short JJ was.Originally Posted by Isaac@Section216
Good call.
[QUOTE=SycamoreKen]Is Reddick tall enough to play the 2 spot? Is he athletic enough to defend at this level? [QUOTE]
Heywoode says... work hard man.
reddick would be ideal if mgmt feels that freddie is going to get an offer to high to match.
jj will never be a premier SG in the NBA due to his size and lack of athleticism.....but he could be a great 6th man. a guy you can use off the bench to spread the D, bring offense, and a guy you can use late in games to hit big shots. he has a high basketball IQ as well.
what does everyone think of lowry out of nova??? i think he's an intriquing PG prospect. great defender, court vision, and decent scorer. a lot of ppl compare him to tinsley, but with defense. only 20 years old too. his numbers don't do him justice either as he had to sacrifice offense to allan ray and foye.
Reddick sucks. No way should we pick him. Ronnie Brewer,Kyle Lowry is where its at.
You were the last holdout, glad to see your coming around.
My mission is complete. :-)
People have issues with Ben Gordon because of his size and he is very
athletic. So Reddick will certainly have issues also esp on the defensive side.
He would be great addition but the rest of the team has to pick up the defensive slack. If he is not available then maybe go for a James
White in the second round. At 17 take the best available player
or fill a need as most of the players after 16 will all be the same risk.
Would Reddick at least make a good backup 2? Replacing 6'2" Fred Jones with a 6'...4" isn't it? deadly shooter sounds good to me, though I'll miss the defense (even though with Fred people just shot over him anyway and/or posted him up).
i like brewer a lot too. he's got potential to be a great all around player.Originally Posted by Jermaniac
if we are looking for a backcourt player....i want either brewer, lowry, or jj.
From Bird's press conference.
Q. How do the pieces fit together at point guard?
A. The one thing I would like to see is a little more quickness in the backcourt.
Notice that he was asked about point guards and the first thing out of his mouth was he wanted more quickness in the back court. I'm assuming he meant at the point since it's our points that allow most of the penetration.
I think what Bird plans to do is go into next season with three point guards. I think Eddie Gill will not be resigned. And I think he will trade either Tinsley or AJ. I think he will look to pick a point in the draft, which round would depend on how things go. I think it would be someone with potential, but has quickness and can guard people now. So what I have been doing is looking at quick points.
The problem there is I'm not a talent judge I just read profiles. I think some of you that are should look at quick points that can also shoot.
Good point. I wouldn't be the least suprised if we drafted a PG this year. There will be some good ones out there.Originally Posted by Will Galen
Take a look a some of them:
Rajon Rando: Quick and good defenseively. I hate the fact that he can't shoot though.
Kyle Lowry: This guy is my pick. Great all around PG prospect. Good athlete, good leaedership, good shooter, good ball handler and passer. Just a good all around PG.
Jordan Farmar: Not quick, but because he is probably the best passer in the draft, he is a possiable pick for sure but the lack of quickness makes him a less likely pick by the Pacers.
Jose Juan Barea: Great passer and scorer. Also has great quickness. Problem is lack of size and strength. Probably wouldn't be picked at 17 but I could see Bird making a trade for this guy, or maybe even gambling on him at 17, who knows?
Anyone considering drafting a solid perimeter defender?
To me...that is one of the glaring weaknesses that we have......Granger is our best perimeter defender....but he can't guard everyone on the perimeter.
We have many needs to address.....PG definitely being one of them....but given that we at least have somewhat decent PG rotation....if we do nothing but trade Tinsley.......I would try to address the need for perimeter defenders in the draft.
Someone here pointed out Bobby Jones. He's a definite roleplayer....and because acquiring a perimeter defender through a trade is much harder then drafting one....I would much rather waste the 2nd round pick on a perimeter defender at the 1 to 3 spots.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
I don't see how redick can't be useful. As long as you get him screens, he will get off shots and usually make them. Good, clutch shooter with plenty of experience? Where do I sign up?
If Bird made a comment about wanting a specific player I suspect it is
Reddick. Bird has made comments in the past that Reddick was the
best shooter since himself. I would not be dissappointed at all if he was
What if we had a way to obtain another pick? Kyle Lowry is just too good a prospect to let slip through our fingers IMO. However I would also like to get JJ because he has the total offensive package at SG. A midrange game is a lost art these days and Larry was one of the best midrange threats of all time. He knows what a great jumpshooter can do for a team.
Does JJ's size and lax defense scare me? No not at all. He may not have all the tools to be a great defender, but he has the best work-ethic coming out of college basketball this year and I know he would put in time to become a decent defender. I would take a kid like this over Jackson as my STARTING point any day of the week. Fans would love and embrace him too because of his leadership and winning attitude.
I want nothing to do with JJ. If you saw any of his games against athletic defenders you saw him struggle. Particularly against LSU in a NCAA TOUrNEY game JJ did not even show up. People can blow this BS about how clutch he is and all that, but he played in a system designed just for him to succeed. That will not happen in the NBA your below average NBA defender that has decent athleticism will shut JJ down with ease. I reiterate I want no part of this guy. He is Steve Alford take two.
JJ is not a strong defender, but I'm not sure that he's any worse than Freddie.
From what I have read....most suggest drafting a PG that is quick and defend.....I'm suggesting that we just draft a perimeter defender....whether it is at the 1 to 3 spots.....not just draft a PG that can defend another PG.Originally Posted by Will Galen
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Granted he did struggle against LSU. He can be streaky, and I don't think that he will be a star and maybe not a starter, but he will be a solid 10 year NBA player. That seems good value for #17, IMO.
I'd be happy with Rondo too, since we haven't had anyone able to guard quick PGs in a LONG time. Maybe he can learn to shoot in afew years, like Tony Parker has. It depends upon his work ethic.
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!).
The thing to remember about JJ is that part of the reason he struggled against LSU is because they were able to just focus on him. He was Duke's best scorer and only scorer other than Sheldan Williams.
I really don't want JJ on the Pacers though. I like his game but I think with our need for defense and quickness in the backcourt we can fill that need by taking say Kyle Lowry or Rudy Fernandez, not JJ Reddick.

The January employment report released today was disappointing and confusing, at best. But it should keep mortgage borrowers happy.
The economy added only 113,000 jobs in January, according to the Labor Department. That's less than the 185,000 that economists expected to see, but more than the mere 75,000 added in December. The unemployment rate dipped again, to 6.6 percent, the lowest level since October 2008.
An expected bummer
"This was a disappointing, but at the same time not surprising, report," says Joel Naroff, president and chief economist of Naroff Economic Advisors. "There was simply no way to know how the winter has affected hiring, and given what has been going on in February, we may not have any good idea of the trend in the economy for a couple more months."
Let the good times roll
For mortgage borrowers, this could mean rates might stay low for a while as investors try to get a clearer picture of how the economy is doing. The Fed may also take a wait-and-see approach.
"That is likely the strategy the Fed will take," Naroff says. "Indeed, given that the unemployment rate is almost at the FOMC's guidepost 6.5 percent rate, the members will have to cool their heels before deciding what is going on and how they should react."
Rates have fallen for five weeks in a row, according to Bankrate's weekly survey. This jobs report may not push rates much lower, but it should at least keep them from rising for now.
Enjoy the low rates!

has anybody heard of this is a child--they are stumped-trying to find answers but have never seen this before
cindy mays
Dear Cindy,
this is beyond anything I have ever encountered while researching this cancer. Have you contacted other specialists in order to confirm the diagnoses?
I agree with Marion. I have never heard of anything like this with someone so young.
I'm so sorry.
A second opinion from someone knowledgable about Cholangio would be an essential next step.
Has your daughter been in Vietnam or parts of the east where the one known parasite to cause this disease lives?
Have courage and know that there are good resources, and people, here to try to help.
Dear Cindy, Just a few thoughts..... Do you live in an area where spraying of pesticides has been done, or near any big chemical manufactoring plant, been surrounded by second hand smoking, Do you have a basement that may need to be tested for radon gases, do you have city or private well and had it checked for harmful mineral concentrates ? Just thinking of something that could be closely related and focused in on for treatment. I just have not heard of a precious 3 year old with CC before. I hope they based their DX on a biopsy and not just scans. One last thing is did she have any medical problems at birth or shortly after and recieved any particular medicines for treatments or any food group or drink that has always been her favorite ? I'm sorry Cindy for rambling, just questions and things I would be thinking of if it was I and hopefully the doctors. Cindy , I am praying hard for a false or misdiagnoses of your little girl. There has got to be a positive out come! Pray, get second opinion, advocate, ask alot of questions. Again I apologize for being so direct and out spoken, but this CC has been a personal battle of mine for a long time and when I heard this, it about tore my heart out. You tell the doctors you have prayed to God to give them the miracle wisdom and knowledge to help your little one.
God Bless and Prayers of support headed your way!!! Faith and Hope go hand in hand.
Jeff G.
P.S. Cindy I mentioned all the above as through my research back through my life I have been exposed to all plus more during my military career.
Cindy -this is so shocking to those of us who are living through CC with our loved ones. Please get the best GI oncologist to diagnose this, or come to the National Cancer Institute to get some help. This is so shocking in someone so young. My proyers will be with you and your little one...
Cindy....Ask about inherited diseaes Primarily excessive" copper build up" in the liver and other organs. There is an actual name for this but I cant remember.
Jeff G. P.S. Wilsons disease or Copper toxcity Buildup
Cindy, my god i am truly devestated by your story. i agree with the others. get a second and or third opinion.
my thoughts and prayers are with you
Cindy - I am so saddened to hear of this. I echo the thoughts of others - bring your daughter to multiple specialists to get second/third/fourth opinions. You mention that your daughter was diagnosed in LA - is that Los Angeles, or Louisiana? If you are in Louisiana, I highly recommend coming to MD Anderson in Houston and seeing Dr. Melanie Thomas.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dear Cincy,
Life everyone else, I am shocked! There is a Mayo clinic in Arizona that is supposed to be very knowledgeble in this cancer. I would definitely get a second and third opinion. This is your baby, GO ANYWHERE if you can. There are a group of Dr.s at John Hopkins that specialized in this also. You might want to email them. I know they will respond, they did with me when I inquired about my husband.
Please know that you are in my family's thoughts and prayers.
Please, please, keep us informed. That poor little baby. I wish I understood all of this.
Just wanted to post an update on the three year old. I know we were all alarmed at the post. I did speak with her mother on the phone immediately after she originally posted and gave her some information from one of the top cholangiocarcinoma researchers in the world. He gave me a list of questions and several other things that her Dr's needed to consider before they diagnosed her with cholangiocarcinoma.
I'm received and update to her care page today and you will be happy to know she does not have cholangiocarcinoma and it is not cancer, she does have a disease that may require a liver transplant.
Thanks for the update. It's true that we were all shocked.
Certainly I was.
It's odd to think of a liver transplant as good news but they are done so successfully now, as long as a donor is found,
So happy to hear it's not CC. Hope a liver donor will help her as soon as possible.
Jeff G.

Four-hit outburst has Belt brimming with confidence
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Brandon Belt fell short and exceeded expectations at once Friday afternoon.
Having doubled, homered and singled in his first three plate appearances, the Giants' first baseman lacked a triple to complete the cycle. But a three-base hit wasn't enough for Belt, who finished a 4-for-4 performance by drilling a two-run homer off Miguel Batista in the seventh inning of an eventual 11-6 win over the Rockies.
"We were kidding that he had a shot at the cycle, and he outdid that," manager Bruce Bochy said.
Belt has performed at a higher level all spring. Friday's outburst hiked his batting average to .439. He leads the Giants with 12 runs scored, six homers and 16 RBIs.
"It's the time of year when it's getting close to Opening Day and you want to try to stay as locked in as possible," Belt said. "I'm seeing the ball well right now and feeling pretty good. I'm ready to get started."
Technically, Belt said that he's benefiting from solid timing and proper hitting mechanics. As a result, he's seeing pitches better.
"I'm hitting balls that I should be hitting hard," Belt said. "I don't think I was prepared when I went up there earlier in my career. There's a lot of times that I swung at pitches out of the [strike] zone; I didn't swing at pitches in the zone. I finally feel like I'm on track now."
It's generally accepted among the Giants that Belt's mental approach is the biggest difference. His self-assurance fluctuated in his previous two seasons. Now, Bochy said, "He's got so much confidence."
Belt acknowledged that he's more adept at coping with the game's inevitable highs and lows.
"Obviously it's baseball and there are going to be some tough times," Belt said, "but I'm not the same player I was, just from the mental aspect. I know what to expect. I know there are going to be some bumps in the road, but I also know I can come out on the other side. So I'm going in with a lot more confidence this year."
