Holland joins fight to strike out cancer
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Rangers pitcher Derek Holland is joining Cardinals reliever Jason Motte and other Major League players in the fight against cancer.
"Let's Strike Out Cancer" was started by Motte to help people directly affected by the disease. He has since enlisted the MLB Player's Association and other players from all thirty teams to join the fight and fans can help by purchasing any K Cancer t-shirt. With the purchase of any K Cancer tee, five dollars will go to the Jason Motte Foundation, and five dollars will go to another player's charity.
Holland's t-shirts are available at the 108stitches.com website. Holland is in the process of deciding which charity his t-shirts will benefit.
"My focus is going to be on kids with cancer," Holland said. "They deserve it more than anything. It's devastating. To see kids with cancer hits me really hard and I want to do anything I can to help them and see their dreams come true."
The website 108stitches.com went live on March 17, with 108 Stitches showcasing the "Strike Out Cancer" tees in each team's colors. Each is promoted by a different player who agreed to join Motte in a partnership that will benefit multiple charities. Each participating player has chosen a charity that will benefit from the T-shirts sales, and for each shirt sold, $5 will go to the Jason Motte Foundation and $5 to a charity of that player's choice. A full list of recipient charities will be listed on the 108 Stitches website soon, along with a photo of each player rep in his team-colored shirt.
"At the end of the day, it's about reaching people," Motte said. "Baseball is great and everything, but there are other really important things going on out there that affect a lot of people. Wearing these T-shirts shows people that they're not alone. They're not sitting there doing chemo by themselves where no one cares. People do care, whether it's friends, family or baseball players. There are people who this has touched and this has affected. This is something we're trying to do to get the word out there and try to raise money to help."
Holland was the 2013 recipient of the Jim Sundberg Community Achievement Award for his many contributions to the community. His charitable efforts include donations to the Children's Medical Center in both Fort Worth and Dallas.

Rays rally cut short by disputed call
Down 5-1 in eighth, game ends with tying run at first
ARLINGTON -- Ben Zobrist pulled off his helmet in disbelief. Joe Maddon ran to home plate to argue.
But nothing either of them did could change the call made by home plate umpire Marty Foster when he rung up Zobrist looking at a 3-2 pitch that appeared to be well out of the strike zone to end Monday night's game, a 5-4 Rangers win over the Rays at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington
"To have the game stolen from you is very difficult," Maddon said.
There were two outs in the ninth and the Rays were making the game interesting. Already the Rays had scored two in the eighth and they had pushed across one in the ninth on Sean Rodriguez's RBI single. Had Zobrist drawn the walk against Rangers closer Joe Nathan, the Rays would have had runners on first and second with Evan Longoria stepping to the plate.
There's no way of telling if the Rays would have pulled out the win, but for the second time in a week, they didn't have the opportunity to find out.
The Rays were on the receiving end of another controversial call last Wednesday when Longoria was ruled to have passed Zobrist on the base paths, thereby quieting what could have been a big inning in what turned out to be a 6-3 loss.
"Yeah, it's tough," Zobrist said. "It's something that we gotta just rise above as a team and just do the best we can to go out and create a better margin tomorrow. I think if we create a big margin for error, then when things like that happen you're not too worried about it because you end up winning the game. We have to put ourselves in a better position in the last inning."
With the loss, the Rays moved to 3-4 on the season and 0-1 on a 10-game road trip that begins with a three-game set in Arlington and will see the team also make stops in Boston and Baltimore.
Jeremy Hellickson celebrated his 26th birthday Monday night and hoped to have the same results he enjoyed on his 25th birthday when he shut down the Yankees. Unfortunately for the Rays right-hander, that did not happen.
Texas took a 1-0 lead in the first when Adrian Beltre doubled past a diving Sam Fuld in left field to score Lance Berkman.
"I thought [Foster] missed some there in the first inning that probably could have gone either way and I just couldn't make an adjustment," Hellickson said. "I just kept trying to make pitches and I wasn't getting them. I threw a couple of fastballs into lefties that were just a hair off. I just kept trying to go there and I wasn't getting them."
A.J. Pierzynski and Mitch Moreland hit back-to-back homers off Hellickson in the bottom of the fourth to put the Rangers up 3-1.
Hellickson lasted just five innings and 98 pitches, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks as his ERA swelled to 6.35 for the season.
Tampa Bay, which had not scored a run in its past 10 innings, answered in the second. Longoria walked to start the inning and moved to second on a single to right by Matt Joyce. Yunel Escobar then grounded to Elvis Andrus and the Rangers shortstop tossed to Ian Kinsler for the force at second, but the Rangers second baseman threw wild to first, allowing Longoria to score and tie the game at 1-1.
Elvis Andrus' two-run single in the bottom of the seventh gave the Rangers a pair of insurance runs and pushed the lead to 5-1.
Having those extra runs made the eighth inning a little more comfortable for the Rangers, after the Rays loaded the bases with one out. Shelley Duncan was sent to the plate to pinch hit for Joyce. Texas countered by bringing in Derek Lowe.
Lowe walked Duncan on four pitches to push home the Rays' second run. Escobar then hit into a fielder's choice to drive home another run and cut the lead to 5-3. But Lowe recovered to strike out Ryan Roberts with runners at the corners to end the threat.
The Rays threatened several times against Rangers starter Alexi Ogando, but came away with just one run, as Ogando pitched 5 1/3 innings to move to 2-0 on the season. Meanwhile, Nathan earned his 300th career save -- and he seemed to be the most surprised person in the ballpark when he got the call.
"I think it's safe to say we got a very fortunate call there, but we'll take it," Nathan said. "We've had plenty go against us, so we'll take 'em when we get 'em for us. Did I draw it up like this for my 300th? No, but like I said, we'll take it."

Third Annual Relaxed Atmosphere All-Star Event - Custom Truck Show
The Relaxed Crew Pulls It Of Again
The Relaxed Atmosphere Show in Millington, Tennessee, was so good, there was even a party in jail to celebrate it. Just ask the notorious R.J. from Chicago about it, and I'm sure he'll fill you in. This year's show was no joke-the show field was as impressive as it gets with more than 320 of the area's finest vehicles. And many of those rides were impressive RA vehicles.
Roughly 4,000 spectators walked through the gates over the weekend. Most of them, I heard, came to watch the banana-eating contest, and if you missed it, then you have no idea what a good time you missed-we know, we have the pictures to prove it. Besides the banana-eating contest, you could also spend a few hours walking the show field and checking out the assortment of past and future cover trucks. You could also check out a handful of hot rods, which have become a common site at minitruck shows. With the absence of Showfest in our yearly lineup, the RA show has stepped up with the nightlife and looks promising as the show to go to in the South.
The RA crew would like to congratulate Alan "Farva" Jackson for taking Best of Show with his past cover truck, Blazerado. They would also like to thank their sponsors: Big Willies Rod Shop, Bullocks Body Werks, Drop 'Em Wear?, Gaylord's Kustom Fiberglass Truck Lids and Accessories, Grant Kustoms, Kinetik, Little Shop of Horrors, MA Audio, Silver Star Customs, Slik Monkey Designs, Twin State Customs, and West Coast Customs. Next year's show is again scheduled for Labor Day weekend, which is Sept. 1-2. Oh, and one last thing: The guys at RA would like to ask everyone to not stay at Best Western next year. For more information on next year's show, contact Chris at (270) 898-8996.

Board of Supervisors Unanimously Completes FY 2010 Budget Markup; Results in No Increase to the Average Taxpayer
April 20, 2009
News Highlights
More Information
On April 20, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, in a unanimous 10-0 vote, marked up the proposed Fiscal Year 2010 Budget, which begins on July 1, 2009. Formal adoption of the budget is scheduled to take place April 27. The Board's Budget Markup package was presented by Board Chairman Sharon Bulova, who noted that this budget was one of the most challenging ever experienced in Fairfax County. "We are doing this in a year, and at a time that is historic for the economic turmoil roiling throughout this country and the world," said Bulova.
- FY 2010 Budget Markup Process Board Motions
- Board of Supervisors' Budget Adjustments
Tax Rates and Fees
- Watch Budget Markup Session
The FY 2010 marked up budget proposal includes a real estate tax rate of $1.04 per $100 of assessed value. In addition, a stormwater services fee of $0.01 per $100 assessed value (in addition to the real estate tax rate of $1.04 per $100 of assessed value) will be imposed to provide support of stormwater services' operating and capital project activities through the creation of a new Stormwater Service District. Coupled with a 12.6 percent decline in the average residential assessment, the resulting average tax bill will be a modest reduction from the current fiscal year.
In her remarks accompanying the FY 2010 Budget Markup package, Bulova stated, "We have benefited greatly by the Community Dialogues conducted last fall and winter throughout the county, which engaged our county residents in defining priorities and assisting with identifying programs and services that could be reduced or eliminated. We received excellent suggestions from our county workforce during a series of Budget Brown-Bag lunches. And we received many recommendations and observations through the county's Web site and phone line, at budget town meetings this spring, and during our four days and nights of public hearings earlier this month."
Bulova noted, "Of the $106.4 million reductions in the County Executive's Budget, this package restores $22.73 million by reallocating funding budgeted for fuel ($6.3 million), reducing some of the amount originally needed to absorb state cuts ($5.1 million) and reallocating part of the Penny for Affordable Housing ($10.3 million) to restore critical Human Services and Public Safety programs." Regarding the Penny for the Preservation of Affordable Housing, Bulova added, "I would like to note that this reallocation should not be interpreted to mean that the board is retreating from its commitment to affordable housing. In fact, some of the reallocation allows us to restore what otherwise would have been cuts or the elimination of housing, or housing-related, programs."
It is important to note that based on current market trends, it appears that real estate assessments will realize further negative growth in FY 2011 and that overall county revenue will most likely decline in FY 2011. As a result, funding for county and schools spending will be further limited in FY 2011.
Prior to marking up the FY 2010 fiscal plan, the Board of Supervisors approved the FY 2009 Third Quarter Review. This quarterly review required several adjustments impacting both revenues and disbursements for the remainder of FY 2009.
The FY 2010 plan marked up by the board provides for a balanced budget based on a General Fund Revenue reduction of 0.20 percent from the FY 2009 Adopted Budget Plan. Total General Fund Disbursements are projected to total $3.33 billion, a decrease of $92.05 million or 2.69 percent from the FY 2009 Revised Budget Plan. Excluding adjustments in the current fiscal year, the actual decrease from the FY 2009 level is $22.28 million or 0.66 percent from the FY 2009 Adopted Budget Plan.
The FY 2010 Schools transfer for operations totals $1.63 billion, which represents no increase or decrease from the FY 2009 transfer level. In addition, $163.77 million is transferred to School Debt Service. The total county transfer to support School Operating and Debt Service is $1.79 billion or 53.8 percent of total county disbursements. In addition, the Board of Supervisors budget restores reductions in some key programs that impact the schools including School Resource Officers, Clinic Room Aides and Head Start. The Board of Supervisors also increases school bond sales to $155 million per year from the county executive's recommended $140 million level.
As a result of the board actions, the net change in positions in FY 2010 is a decrease of 306 positions from FY 2009. This includes a reduction of 524 positions in the FY 2010 Advertised Budget Plan as a result of Lines of Business reduction recommendations offset by the restoration of 218 positions as a result of the budget proposal package including 60 positions for Human Services, 72 positions for the Fire and Rescue Department, 63 positions for the Police Department (including 28 for the School Resource Officer Program), 11 positions at the lakefront parks (Lake Accotink, Burke Lake and Lake Fairfax), 2 positions for the Mount Vernon Lockup, 2 Watch Officer positions in the Office of Emergency Management, 2 positions for Air Quality Monitoring in the Health Department, 2 Planning Commission positions, 2 Property Maintenance/Zoning Inspector positions, 1 position at the David Pinn Community Center and 1 position at Green Spring Gardens Park.
FY 2010 tax rates and/or levies are summarized in this chart.
Going forward, the board approved budget guidance for FY 2011 that included directing the county executive to:
Provide the Board of Supervisors with regular updates on the FY 2011
financial forecast to assist Board of Supervisors' decision-making as
it relates to guidance to the county and the schools on the strategic
priorities and the budgetary support for programs and services in FY
2011. This forecast shall include revenue projections with a focus on
the real estate market including regular updates on the number of
foreclosures, their location and the impact on the housing market.
Preliminary estimates of revenue growth should be provided by September
- A Board of Supervisors retreat is being planned to discuss many strategies and opportunities related to county services and the county budget. Specific topics will include a discussion of Board of Supervisors' priorities, the Affordable Housing Penny fund, employee compensation, the FY 2011 Budget process and opportunities to increase fiscal transparency, and board public hearing procedures. As part of the discussion on the budget process, staff is directed to return to the board with additional ideas and options for the creation of a small, focused Countywide Citizens Committee to make recommendations to the board on a very few, but important, specific budget issues for FY 2011. Examples of specific topics for the committee would be revenue diversification options or consolidation/reorganization opportunities for the board to consider.
In addition, the board indicated it is extremely interested in continuing to educate the community on the budget and the budget process and to engage the community in discussions of what Fairfax County's priorities should be during difficult economic times. Therefore, the county executive is directed to work with the Board of Supervisors to implement a public input process as part of the FY 2011 Budget that provides opportunity for public comment, in the fall of 2009, through community dialogue sessions in various locations throughout the county. The public input process should include traditional means of gathering and disseminating information about the budget such as community meetings and presentations as well as online and telephone hotline opportunities for public comment.
Further, recognizing the valuable insight that county employees have
regarding county services and programs the Board of Supervisors
recommends the continued use of employee chats, surveys and anonymous
online and telephone hotline forums for employee comments and improvement

DETROIT - Detroit-based Compuware said Friday it won't be taking up Elliot Management on its $2.35 billion offer.
The New York-based investment firm had wanted to acquire the software developer for $11 per share.
Elliott currently holds an 8 percent stake in Compuware. It says that while the Detroit-based company has strong assets, its profitability and growth have significantly lagged in recent years.
In a statement, Compuware's Board of Directors said, "Elliott Management Corporation's proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Compuware for $11.00 per share significantly undervalues the company and is not in the best interest of shareholders."
While it will still evaluate any credible offers, Compuware is going to take the following the following actions:
- Launching a 3-year cost reduction plan that will eliminate at least $60 million in G&A and non-core operational expenses from the company, with a minimum of $20 million realized in FY 2014. The company expects that additional opportunities to rationalize and reduce costs and focus its business will be available as it continues to execute the plan.
- Executing a spin-off of Covisint to Compuware shareholders following the initial public offering, to fully unlock the value of this business. In December, Compuware submitted a registration statement for Covisint Corporation to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a possible initial public offering of approximately 20% of its Class A common stock. The company expects that within 12 months of completing the IPO it will be distributing the remaining Covisint shares directly to Compuware shareholders, enabling shareholders to participate fully and directly in Covisint's future and favorable prospects.
- Implementing a plan to return capital to shareholders through an annual dividend of $.50 per share, at a yield greater than 4.5% based on Compuware's current stock price, payable quarterly starting next quarter. The dividend is a strong indication of the momentum of the company's strategy, the strength of its balance sheet, and the Board's ongoing commitment to disciplined capital allocation as an important means of delivering value to shareholders.
Karmanos stepping down but staying involved
The offer comes about a month after Compuware founder Peter Karmanos Jr. announced plans to step down as executive chairman next year. He stepped down as CEO in 2011.
The 69-year-old is expected to become a consultant for Compuware, earning $600,000 a year. The move to leave the company's board is effective March. 31. Karmanos in 2011 stepped down as Compuware's chief executive.
Karmanos will be succeeded as nonexecutive chairman by Gurminder Bedi, the company's lead independent director.
Karmanos moved Compuware's headquarters in 2002 from suburban Farmington Hills to a new building in downtown Detroit. He had said earlier that he was aiming to retire by 2013, when he turns 70 and the company turns 40.

A Covelo man was arrested after allegedly slashing his father in the face with a kitchen knife during an altercation on February 28.
Steven Charles Luna Jr., 32, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. He remains in Mendocino County Jail with a trial date tentatively set for May 5.
Luna allegedly got into an argument with his father Steven Luna, Sr., 56, at a residence on Henderson Lane in Covelo, say police.
During the argument, the son allegedly threatened to beat up his dad and took a swing at him, say police. The father grabbed his son and threw him to the ground, holding him there until the son calmed down.
The son left the room, went into the kitchen and returned to confront his father with a kitchen knife, allegedly slashing his father across the face.
The father disarmed his son and called police. Luna's father was not seriously injured.

Argentina played the best of any team in the tournament, but to be fair it's easier to chance your arm in the third place playoff than in the final. The final wasn't particularly close. Once England needed to score more than 3 points you knew it wouldn't happen.
Yeah, but look how badly England were playing at that stage.. SA have been lucky in a lot of their matches.
The World Cup got its deserved champions.

I felt this course was really important to give a broad approach to stepping into the fundraising arena. I work on documentary films and currently have a film in progress on Urban Agriculture…I have to admit this course has made me feel more confident to approach funding for my work in the spring.
This course was a good one. I needed to learn more about fundraising because I am involved in an organization that operates on a single grant. We get this grant every year, but I don't believe we will always be getting this grant in the future, so we need to be able to do more varied fundraising than we have in the past. This course helped me on the way to find other sources of funding.
Thank you very much for this course. I really enjoyed the way you presented the material. There is a lot to learn about fundraising. The way you presented the material helped me to stay focused, kept my interest, and made the course fun. I enjoyed lesson 11 dealing with the internet. I myself have had success using Facebook and Twitter in sharing my web site/ministry. I also enjoyed the information in lesson 12 dealing with data bases and different kinds of software.
I have been following the discussions and I have been enjoying the class. I have been doing nonprofit fundraising for 15+ years. This class has been very valuable for me and a wealth of information. I'm currently working for a Professor who is doing a grant funded medical study at a local Medical School. I want to transition back to nonprofit fundraising (Annual Fund or Major Gifts). My goal is to create a nonprofit.
I really learned a lot from this course. I plan to make great use of your suggestions for non-profit fundraising. I am getting some fundamentals under my belt
for my ministry. Thank you so much, you have no idea how you have helped me.
Thank you so much for this enlightening course. My organization is very small and our members are in 13 different states. However, I now have several ideas we can use to raise funds for our cause thanks to this course. Our President also took the grant writing course. So we'll now be able to present many fresh ideas to our Board of Directors.
Thank you Professor Kachinske! Your class was very informative. Your assignments were particularly helpful in getting a complete grasp of the information presented. I enjoyed your teaching and writing style.
This course has a wealth of information for one who wants to begin a career in nonprofit fundraising or expand one's current nonprofit fundraising skills. I have 15 plus years experience of nonprofit fundraising in mostly small nonprofits. This class teaches the different aspects of nonprofit fundraising for both small and large nonprofits.
This course has been life and career changing for me. Without it, I would not be on the current track I am on. I loved this course and would take another like it again from this instructor. I learned a great deal.
After spending 25 years in management in the corporate world, I am starting my own home based business. Nonprofit will not be my sole involvement but it will be a large part of it, and your class was very informative…I stuck with it and enjoyed the class and all the great information you shared. You broke various topics into understandable lessons. I just wrapped up my final with 100% and have put all my lesson plans in a binder which I know I will use for reference in the future.

So.. I don't know if this thing is legal to throw or not.
These are the only rules I could find that I thought related... both from 802.1 of the rules...
C. Players may not make post-production modification of discs which alter their original flight characteristics. This rule does not forbid inevitable wear and tear from usage during play or the moderate sanding of discs to smooth molding imperfections or scrape marks. Discs excessively sanded or painted with a material of detectable thickness are illegal. See sections 802.01 D, E and F.
F. All discs used in play, except mini marker discs, must be uniquely marked in ink or pigment-based marking which has no detectable thickness. A player shall receive a warning for the first instance of throwing an unmarked disc if observed by two or more players of the group or an official. After the warning has been given, each subsequent throw by the player with an unmarked disc shall incur one penalty throw if observed by two or more players of the group or an official.
Now I don't think the these cuts alter the flight but some may argue they do. I don't really see them any differently than how a tree would take a chunk out of the disc. The flight plate is not perforated all the way through, so I don't think that's an issue. F is where I have the most concern. There is not added detectable thickness, it's an impression into the plastic instead. I get if the paint was still on there the disc would be illegal according to part F of 802.1.
What do you guys think? Is it legal to use in a PDGA tournament?

You can also find our coupons and contests on our Facebook page. Like us on Facebook to make sure you are always in the know!
Why has my favourite product been discontinued?
We review our lines seasonally, taking into consideration fashion trends and consumer tastes. As we introduce new shades and products, we discontinue less popular ones. Visit the Discontinued Products section to get a replacement recommendation for an old favorite that has been discontinued. Sorry, but we do not sell discontinued shades to retailers, or to consumers.
How do I offer a suggestion for a product or package?
Sally Hansen/Coty Inc. does not accept unsolicited package or product ideas.
Where can I find my favourite product?
Sally Hansen offers a wide range of great products and retailer shelf space is limited, so stores usually choose those that sell the best for them. Give your local store a call to see if they carry your favorites, and visit our store locator to find the closest retailer to you.
Are Sally Hansen products tested for safety?
Before we place a product on the market, we assess it thoroughly to ensure it is safe for human use and for the environment and that it is compliant with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Our safety assessment of cosmetic ingredients is based on the use of recognized alternatives to animal testing, the use of existing safety and increasingly the sharing of such data from and with other industries.
Is Sally Hansen packaging recyclable?
Post-consumer collection of packaging components is not available in all areas where our products are sold. We encourage consumers to check with local authorities for this information. Individual plastic caps may be sorted into the plastic category and glass bottles into the glass category.

Vasopressin in Traumatic Hemorrhagic Shock Study

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of the present trial is therefore to assess effects of arginine vasopressin vs. saline placebo on hospital admission rate (primary end point), as well as hemodynamic variables, fluid resuscitation requirements and hospital discharge rate (secondary study end points) in presumed traumatic hemorrhagic shock patients with a systolic arterial blood pressure <90 mm Hg after 10 min of standard shock treatment. Accordingly, the study reflects an add-on design to standard traumatic shock therapy.
The hypothesis is that both arginine vasopressin and saline placebo have comparable effects on hemodynamic variables, fluid resuscitation requirements, and hospital admission and discharge rate. The alternative hypothesis is that arginine vasopressin has more beneficial effects on hemodynamic variables, fluid resuscitation requirements, and hospital admission and discharge rate than saline placebo.

Detailed Description:
The study will be designed as a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial with blinded assessment of the outcome in a study network with helicopter emergency medical service units in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic and the Netherlands.
The protocol, information and consent procedure will be approved by the institutional review board of each participating center. Since this is a study randomizing unconscious patients who are unable to give informed consent at the time of randomization (§43a Emergency study), the requirement of informed consent is planned to be waived in accordance with the ethical standards of national legislation in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic and the Netherlands and the guidelines for good clinical practice of the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal products. Depending on the patient's outcome, either the surviving patient, or the patient's family in case of death of the patient or in case that the patient survives but remains mentally handicapped will be informed about the trial (see appendix for patient information sheet); the protocol specifies that if there are any objections, the patient will be withdrawn from the study.
Treatment assignments of blinded study drugs will be randomly generated by computer in blocks of two, with stratification according to center. Before the start of the trial, staff at participating centers will be informed about the rationale of the protocol and the study; participating centers will be subsequently contacted and visited to ensure proper enrollment.

Integrated Biodiversity Information System (IBIS)
The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) provides detailed information on scientific names but DOES NOT recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature. For a listing of currently accepted scientific names for the Australian vascular flora, see the Australian Plant Census (APC).
TAXON NAME – searches can be conducted for names at the rank of genus or below. Use the % symbol as a wildcard.
e.g. Grevillea robusta Grevillea ro% Grevillea ro% ro% Grevillea Grev%
AUTHOR ABBREVIATION – the standard abbreviation for the author as listed in the International Plant Names Index (IPNI) database, e.g. "F.Muell." for Ferdinand von Mueller or "L." for Linnaeus.
FAMILY – the family to which the plant belongs, following the system used at the Australian National Herbarium. Searches can be made on family alone, but be aware that very large outputs could be generated.
PUBLICATION – the title of the work in which the plant name was published.
YEAR OF PUBLICATION – the year in which the work containing the plant name was published.
Exclude cultivars – the default setting is for cultivars not to display in search results. Uncheck this box if you want cultivar names to display.
Only cultivars – check this box if you want only details of cultivar names to display.
CULTIVAR NAME – Insert the full cultivar epithet or elements of it within % symbols. You can search on the cultivar name alone, or include a genus in the TAXON NAME field above to restrict your search to a genus.
e.g. %Pink% will find all cultivars in any genus with 'Pink' in their name.USER NAME, PASSWORD – allows access to detailed records of specimens in the Australian National Herbarium (CANB) collection. These records are only available to registered users of the ANHSIR database
APC Comment: – commentary arising from the Australian Plant Census (APC) project consideration of this name.
APC Dist.: – distribution within Australia and its external territories according to the Australian Plant Census (APC).
Map CANB collections – Australia-wide distribution map of a taxon based only on collections held in the Australian National Herbarium (CANB). For records from all Australian herbaria, consult Australia's Virtual Herbarium.
– links to images represented in the Australian Plant Image Index (APII), where these are available.
Numbers shown at the bottom left of the output results are unique identifiers for each taxon entry in APNI.

It ticks me off when they charge to renew a contract. I've never paid a activation fee (as AT&T calls it). I've gotten it removed every time. There is no reason for them to charge me to continue paying them for their services for an additional 2 years.
"provide customers with the level of service and support they have come to expect."
What...screwing us over?
So after getting huge lash-back when they were going to charge a convenience fee for paying online they take another stab at another different fee? Fuk Verizon, you can have their service and they will still find a way to charge you more for their already overpriced service. Soon they will disable the iPhone GPS, App Store and headphone port and charge to enable each one or offer the "Multimedia Package" which will enable all three for a low price of $20 a month.
I'm in Puerto Rico, we had Verizon from 2000 to about 2005 and, and it was the worst cellphone company to have ever come here. Bad to almost no signal at all, ridiculous prices simply because where in an island and could not enjoy the same benefits of the states and some of the worst crappy cellphones ever and when a new cool cellphone came out we had to wait until it was a year old to have it here, not to mention that more than half the cellphone plans where unavailable due to "regional" issues (another word for shut up and be happy you have a cellphone from Verizon). I'm happy there gone and the fact that they need to charge people $30 activation fee just means there in trouble and desperate. Oh and Verizon, LEAVE THE CDMA NETWORK ALREADY and maybe you might get more costumers, people don't like to have a cool phone set up to their likes, just to have rendered useless because of your stupid cdma network.
Selfish greedy bastards, **** verizon!!!!!!! My contract renewal with them is the 2nd week of May. I'm sorry but something has to change with theses carriers or I'll switch to pay as you go
Ok, so I just want to know if I have the 4S and the iPhone 5 comes out, can I get it for $200 and just pay the upgrade fee? Because if so I think that's a good deal instead of paying the $600. Although if I still need to pay the $600 and the upgrade, then yea, that's complete bs.
Fuk Verizon, you can have their service and they will still find a way to charge you more for their already overpriced service.

Hilarious mate.......lol lol lol lol lmfao literally
Verizon seams to be leading the charge..don't think for one minute that others will not follow. The only provider that probably "does not NEED" to do this is the biggest = AT&T. At the same time this is not about need, its about creating a cushion and squeezing every red cent possible out of the iPhone. Most companies give you $$ towards an upgrade in service. I've had Tmo, Sprint, Cingular and AT&T. Notice there is no Verizon in there haha! I wouldn't want an iPhone that does not perform voice and data simultaneously. Already slacking on that front..now Verizon customers have to pay extra for a phone lacking advancements? YIKES..good luck with that!
Yup! That's what we've come to expect.....Their day is coming. Just like dial up providers of yesteryear that squeezed us for every dime they could, just like DirecTV and others that keep bumping up rates to consumers to cover their losses rather than listening to their customers. I hope they are putting their profits away for a rainy day, cuz it's about to rain up in here!
Just get a prepaid service and stop feeding these vampires. You know, it is not FUNDAMENTAL to be connected to the internet ALL THE TIME. You can have periods with no internet until you reach the next coffee shop/library/home. I pay exactly $100 (+ $8 in sales tax) per YEAR and find I rarely need to pay for extra time.

What is the difference between the PROFILE and FAFSA? Why do I need both?
The FAFSA is required of every student who wants to be considered for federal student aid and most state funds. It collects information to establish your eligibility for federal and state student aid. PROFILE is a supplemental form required by Saint Anselm College and many other private colleges and universities to determine your eligibility for Saint Anselm College need-based funds.
If you plan to take a leave of absence or withdraw from Saint Anselm College, you should schedule an appointment with the Business Office to discuss the financial implications of that decision. Withdrawing from Saint Anselm College during the semester may entitle you to a partial refund depending upon the date of departure. The total amount of your refund will be determined according to Saint Anselm College and federal refund policies. We must return all unused money to the federal government. Please note that if you withdraw, you could owe money to Saint Anselm.
The FAFSA asks for tax information from my parents and me. What should I do if I haven't filed my tax returns?
You may fill out your FAFSA using estimated tax information. You'll have the opportunity to correct this information when you receive the processed Student Aid Report (SAR). It's better to use estimated tax information than risk missing the financial-aid deadline.
What kind of refund can I expect to receive if I withdraw from Saint Anselm?
If you completely withdraw from the College, allowable charges are determined by the College refund policy detailed in the catalogue. For the purposes of paying the costs that Title IV aid will not cover, all state and outside aid will apply. We will pro-rate your institutional aid and tuition according to the length of time enrolled until week six of the semester.
What should I do if I have special circumstances not indicated in the FAFSA?
Send a letter detailing those circumstances, along with appropriate documentation, to the Saint Anselm College Office of Financial Aid. Examples of special circumstances could be loss of employment, unusually high medical expenses, or reduced income. Upon receipt of your letter and documentation, your eligibility will be re-evaluated.
I consider myself independent. Can I file as an independent student?
We believe financing your education is a family responsibility to the extent your family is able to help. Undergraduates who have living parents generally are required to file as dependent students. You may not file as an independent student unless you have highly unusual circumstances. Talk to a member of the financial aid staff if you think your circumstances warrant filing as an independent student.
What happens if I take a leave of absence or withdraw from Saint Anselm?
Housing refunds are calculated on a monthly basis and resident meal plans are prorated on a per diem basis.

. . . my impression is that the Kalamasutta has only become
prominent relatively recently in Theravada. The actual name
Kalamasutta is not used in the modern South East Asian editions of
the canonical texts and commentaries. They refer to it as the
Kesamuttisutta or the Kesaputtisutta. The PTS (and I think the
Sinhalese) editions do not give any name at all. But the title
Kalamasutta does occur in a Burmese commentary to the Dighanikaya
composed around 1800 (Sv-pá¹).
A passage from this Sutta is frequently cited by commentaries to
illustrate one of the meanings of the word evam. Otherwise it is
hardly ever referred to in ancient sources.

Whether you're a mom in the military, a spouse who's a mom, or the mom of a service member, you know the heartache of deployments and separations, and the effects of the upheaval of military moves.
But pride, patriotism and a good dose of humor are the hallmarks of the comments we received to our Facebook query "You know you're a military mom if ..."
Texting, calling, emailing and Skyping are as essential as eating and drinking for some. Time and again, mothers said they sleep with cellphones on their pillowsin case their child calls from afar in the middle of the night. And they will knock down anyone or anything in their path to get to the phone when it rings.
And whether they're moms of active-duty troops, active duty themselves, or spouses of troops — or all of the above — they often take on a mothering role to other active-duty members.
Whatever your role or branch of service, be ready to laugh, cry — and identify. By the way, Mother's Day is Sunday.
You know you're a military mom ...

BURLINGTON, Mass. Many Type 2 diabetes patients who use the drug Onglyza (saxagliptin) switched to that drug from Merck's Januvia (sitagliptin) and Janumet (sitagliptin and metformin), according to a new report by market research firm Decision Resources.
The report found that 9.3% of patients for whom Onglyza –– made by Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca –– was not their first Type 2 diabetes drug had previously used Januvia, while 7.9% had used Janumet. All three drugs belong to the same class, known as DPP-IV inhibitors.
"While about half of physicians we surveyed predict their prescribing of Onglyza will increase over the next two years, and Onglyza has picked up some patient share from Januvia and Janumet, Januvia's more favorable formulary positioning and noncoverage of Onglyza will remain important hurdles for Onglyza's uptake," Decision Resources analyst Kate Sullivan said.

It's Mother's Day weekend and as much as I love you all, dear friends, I won't be online much. Especially not on Sunday, Mother's Day itself. Why is that? I want to unplug, unwind and just chill. All day. I won't lie, it will be hard, because I've always got my phone right there, or a tablet, laptop. I am participating in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consultingfor MetLife. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. In other words, I'll be taking part in the Social Blackout! Will you join me?
My mom isn't around to spend Mother's Day with. If she was here, she would tell me to unplug and BE with my family, my children, the ones who made me a mama. And so, to honor her, that's what my plan is. We are going out to breakfast at a new local place I just discovered (and oh goodness, the Cosmic Omelet is the name- if you are ever near Manchester, CT, you have to go!)…after breakfast, the kids and my husband are going to have lunch with my mother in law, and I'm off for a manicure and pedicure. I also downloaded the last Sookie Stackhouse book to read. The kids and hubby will come home in the afternoon and we'll do a movie and dinner together, since it's due to rain and rain all day long. Can't imagine doing it any other way.
Join the Mother's Day movement every mom will be proud of: #SocialBlackout. It's simple. In fact, it may be the easiest event you've ever attended. Just don't show up.
Because mom has always been so attentive with us, we're honoring her on Sunday, May 12 by turning our attention to her instead of our friends and feeds. Just set your profile pic with the official #SocialBlackout image, update your status with a warm Mother's Day wish and say "arrivederci" to your social sites for a day.
How to spread the Mother's Day movement:
1. Join the #SocialBlackout event page
2. Invite your friends to join
3. Log off Social Media on Mother's Day
It's really that simple.
Won't you join me? (Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be online today, tomorrow and Monday….but one day, I can give it all up!)0

Young Hunters to Get First Shot During Special Hunting Seasons
AUSTIN, Texas — Young hunters will be taking the first shots of the 2008-09 Texas hunting seasons during upcoming special youth-only seasons and state wildlife officials say range conditions and wildlife populations are ripe for success in the field.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has set aside the weekend of Oct. 25-26, as special youth-only seasons for white-tailed deer, Rio Grande turkey and waterfowl in the North and South Duck Zones, to encourage adults to share the hunting experience with the next generation of hunters. Young duck hunters in the Panhandle will get the weekend of Oct. 18-19.
"These special weekends provide an opportunity for families to devote some time afield with the kids and pass on Texas' hunting heritage to the next generation," said TPWD wildlife division director Mike Berger. "We're seeing an abundance of wildlife across the state this year and there's never been a better time to get a youngster involved in hunting."
During the statewide special youth-only hunting weekend, licensed youth 16 years of age or younger will be allowed to harvest white-tailed deer and Rio Grande turkey.
A Special Youth Hunting License ($6) is required and may be purchased wherever hunting licenses are sold, as well as online and by phone at 1-800-TX-LIC-4U for an additional convenience fee.
During the special youth-only weekend for white-tailed deer, the bag limit, taking of antlerless deer and special requirements for the following counties will be the same as the period Nov. 27-30 for youth hunters in Bowie, Brazos, Camp, Cherokee, Delta, Fannin, Franklin, Grayson, Gregg, Grimes, Hopkins, Houston, Lamar, Madison, Morris, Red River, Robertson, Rusk, Titus, Upshur, and Wood counties.
For youth hunting in the remainder of the state, bag limits are the same as during the first two days of the general hunting season in the county.
Hunting for ducks, mergansers and coots during the youth-only season will be limited to youngsters 15 years of age or younger and no state or federal waterfowl endorsements (stamps) are required. Bag limits under the Hunter's Choice program apply. Popular wildlife management areas for waterfowl hunting along the coast will be open for the special youth-only season.
TPWD has made an extra effort to open as much public hunting land as possible to youth hunting. Information about youth hunting opportunities in Texas, including a listing of available public hunting locations during the special youth-only weekends, is available on the TPWD Web site.
In addition to the special youth-only weekend season opportunities, quail season also opens Oct. 25 statewide.
TPWD also offers adults accompanied by young hunters the chance to take the first shots on one of the state's premier wildlife management areas. The Chaparral WMA holds an adult/youth dove and quail hunt on Oct. 18-19. For more information call 830-676-3413.
Youth who are hunting on TPWD lands must be accompanied by a supervising adult 18 years of age or older who possesses the required Annual Public Hunting permit, a valid hunting license and any required stamps and permits and meets hunter education requirements.
The Annual Public Hunting Permit is a $48 permit, valid from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31 of the following year. The permit allows an adult access to designated public hunting lands in the TPWD public hunting lands program. Hunting is allowed for small game, turkey, white-tailed deer, exotics, predators, furbearers, and fishing without having to pay daily permit fees and in most instances, without having to be selected in a drawing.
Along with the appropriate Texas hunting licenses and stamps, permit holders may take youth under age 17 hunting free of charge on these public hunting lands.
Hunter education certification is strongly recommended for young hunters, but if not certified they must be accompanied by someone who is at least 17, who is certified or exempt. In Texas, the minimum age that a young hunter may be certified is 9. All hunters 17 and older born after Sept. 1, 1971, are required to have successfully completed a certified hunter education course in order to legally hunt in Texas. A list of upcoming hunter education classes and options for certification is available on the TPWD Web site.
Regardless of their hunting experience, parents interested in introducing their kids to hunting can find mentoring opportunities through the Texas Youth Hunting Program. The program is a partnership between TPWD and the Texas Wildlife Association to provide youth hunting opportunities on private lands. More information about the program, including a schedule of upcoming youth hunts and applications are available online or by calling 800-460-5494.

Masked men rob bank at gunpoint
A Main Street bank was robbed by two masked men Monday.
The two men entered the Comerica Bank, 1998 Main St., just before 1 p.m. and ordered everyone inside to get on the floor. One of the men had a silver revolver, police Sgt. Brian Ridgway said.
The two suspects threatened to harm the employees if their orders weren't followed, and one of the men jumped over the bank counter, ordering each teller to hand over money in their drawer, police said. The other man stayed near the door with his gun raised.
Both men then exited the bank, possibly driving off in a silver sedan last seen heading toward South Green Valley Road, police reported.
Witnesses told police the man with the gun was about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and of medium build. He was wearing a light-gray hooded sweatshirt with tan pants and dark gloves.
The second man was estimated to be 5 feet 10 inches tall of medium build. He was wearing a dark-gray hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and black gloves.
Police ask anyone with information on the robbery to call the crime tipline at 728-3544 or the investigation bureau at 768-3352.
Officer at toy drive nabs repeat shoplifter
A probationer was arrested Saturday at Toys R Us after a California Highway Patrol officer working on a holiday toy drive spotted him trying to return a stolen item for cash, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office reported.
Earl Dean Urioste, 54, was arrested on suspicion of burglary. He tried to return stolen items on three other days last week, receiving gift cards totalling $521, deputies said.
He was on probation for possession of stolen property and also arrested on suspicion of violating probation, deputies said. He remained in County Jail on Monday.
Surfer who died at Moss Landing identified
A surfer who died Friday after falling unconscious while surfing near the Moss Landing harbor jetty was Mark MacKenzie, 61, of Salinas, the Santa Cruz County Coroner's Office said.
MacKenzie, owner of The 4M Ranch on San Benancio Canyon Road in Salinas, was surfing near the north jetty about 9:30 a.m. when other surfers saw him unconscious in the water, firefighters said. He was declared dead at Watsonville Community Hospital, coroner's officials said.
MacKenzie was surfing during one of the highest tides of the year. The waves were about 4-5 feet, according to Surfline.com.
Two surfers brought him up on the jetty's rocks and performed CPR in an attempt to revive him. Firefighters initially had trouble reaching him because of waves and slippery rocks on the jetty.
Coroner's Sgt. Alan Burt said an autopsy will be performed early this week.
Mountain biker who died identified
A mountain biker who died Saturday on a trail near Skyline Boulevard has been identified as 46-year-old Lawrence Pearl of San Jose, the Santa Cruz County Coroner's Office reported.
Pearl fell ill during a ride on the Long Ridge Truck Trail and stopped, telling a friend he felt sick, Cal Fire officials said. When the friend returned after retrieving the car, a bystander was performing CPR, Cal Fire officials said.
Pearl died at the scene. Coroner's deputy Mike Pruger said an autopsy would be performed early this week to determine the cause of death.
Wanted man arrested after high-speed chase
Monterey County sheriff's deputies arrested a man on multiple warrants after a high-speed chase Sunday.
Cameron Bush, 29, was wanted on warrants for kidnapping, criminal threats, assault with a deadly weapon and spousal abuse in Monterey and San Benito counties. He was spotted driving a stolen pickup in Prunedale and led deputies on a high-speed pursuit.
Authorities said Bush used the truck to ram a gate leading into an agricultural facility in the area of Tarpey Road and Maher Road. He continued to evade deputies off-road before becoming stuck.
Deputies were able to apprehend him before he could flee on foot, authorities said. No one was injured in the chase.
In addition to the warrants, Bush was arrested on suspicion of reckless evading, vehicle theft, vandalism and possession of stolen property. Deputies also believe he is linked to a number of recent burglaries in North Monterey County.
Road closed after car hits pole
Lakeview Road was closed near Highway 129 on Monday after a minivan struck a pole about 5:50 a.m. It remained closed for more than five hours as utility workers fixed the pole, said CHP officer Sarah Jackson.
The driver was unhurt, but the pole was hanging over Lakeview Road and necessitated the road closure while the PG&E pole was up righted, officer Sarah Jackson said.
The pole was sheered at its base, Jackson said. There were closures initially at Highway 129 at Lakeview Road and at Lakeview and College Road, a CHP dispatcher said.

Progressing Pineda nearing mound work
MINNEAPOLIS -- Injured Yankees righty Michael Pineda is playing catch at a distance of 90 feet, and he will get some pitching work in soon.
"The hope is at the end of the week -- next week -- we start to get him on the mound," manager Joe Girardi said.
The Yankees placed Pineda on the 60-day disabled list on May 6 after the 25-year-old suffered right shoulder inflammation. He was 2-2 with a 1.83 ERA up to that point and proved that he still had the talent he showed as an All-Star with the Mariners in 2011.
Back on June 13, Girardi foresaw Pineda returning before the end of the season.
"I would think August is probably realistic," Girardi said. "You've got to build him up. That's the problem."

CRADLEY Heathens' drive to get a new ground has now hit top gear.
Ambitious plans by the club to once again ride in the borough have taken an important step forwards this week.
They have taken Tony Mole on board to take responsibility for their new track project.
Mole, the British Speedway President, has an unequalled record in bringing the sport back to areas of the country which have been starved of speedway for years.
Although the Heathens are thriving at their shared Wolverhampton base, the management of the club remain determined to take them to a new home.
Club spokesman Gary Patchett said: "Tony will need no introduction to our supporters after all but bringing the club to a new home in Colley Gate nearly ten years ago and his success in bringing defunct clubs back to the sport is unparalleled.
"Tony's brief will be to advise on any site possibilities but with a specific focus on the potential site we have had on the radar for some time."
Mole was the man responsible for taking the sport back to Workington in 1999 and Birmingham in 2007. He has also rescued struggling clubs down the years like Hull, Oxford and Stoke.
Mole remains a regular visitor to Cradley meetings at Monmore Green and was on the terraces at Dudley Wood in his younger days.
The club are still remaining tight-lipped about the identity of the one site they have been working on but it is understood a change of ownership has delayed talks. Mole is now looking to speed up the process.
Cradley chairman Nigel Pearson said: "What Tony Mole has achieved on projects like this is wonderful and I feel this is a great appointment for the club.
"We have hit a brick wall with one particular project we were presented with but quite clearly Tony feels there is something to work on there and is now going to put his efforts into it on behalf of Cradley Heath. I'm delighted."
CRADLEY will now push ahead with plans for the re-staging of their double header with Scunthorpe and Mildenhall after this week's fixture fell victim to the weather.
The contests will now take place on Tuesday, June 24.
Club bosses have already made arrangements for early entry to the stadium for those fans wanting to watch England's World Cup game on the same day which kicks off at 5pm. It will be shown in the Monmore bar.
Club chairman Nigel Pearson said: "There are still a couple of issues which need to slot into place before we can confirm this, but it's looking like it will happen.
"As a massive sports fan myself, I love the idea of watching the football and then two speedway meetings immediately afterwards. I anticipate the England game to end at 7pm and then our double header can start at 7.15."
The Heathens are at Plymouth on Saturday, June 14 (1.15pm) in National League action and their next home meeting is on Tuesday, June 17 against rivals Stoke.
Steve Worrall and Max Clegg will represent the club at the NL Pairs at Mildenhall on Sunday, June 15 (3.30pm). Paul Starke is unavailable thanks to a re-arranged Premier League fixture.
Cradley were handed a major boost ahead of the upcoming busy racing schedule.
Tom Perry is now ready for his comeback after making it through a fitness test four weeks after suffering a broken collarbone.
Perry is desperate to be back racing regularly following his injury.
He said: "I had a spin at the weekend and, to be honest, I came off after about 12 laps and landed on the shoulder.
"But that was down to the track and I had no problem with the collarbone. I've got good movement and I'm ready to give it a go.

THE strengths and talents of the borough's autistic children will be celebrated at an event on Saturday.
Dudley College will host the annual Big Bang event from 11am to 4pm with a diverse display of art, science, writing and music created by young people with autism, attending either mainstream or special schools throughout the borough.
The event, organised by the council's Autism Outreach Service, is free to attend although there will be fundraising activities for the Dudley Autism support group.
Councillor Tim Crumpton, cabinet member for children's services, said: "I am looking forward to seeing what the children and young people have produced for this year's exhibition at the college.
"I hope that people will take some time out on Saturday to go along and support this worthy event and show their appreciation for these talented youngsters."

TWO children have been seriously injured in a road accident.
A grey Nissan Qashqai collided with a white Ford Transit van at the junction of Middle Hill and Burcombe Road in Chalford just before 4.55pm yesterday, Thursday.
A seven-year-old boy and a three-year-old boy, both from Stroud and both passengers in the Nissan, were taken to Bristol Children's Hospital.
The seven-year-old boy suffered a serious head injury and the three-year-old boy a serious leg injury.
No one else was seriously injured.
Anyone who witnessed the crash but hasn't spoken to police is urged to call 101, quoting incident 440 of May 22.
