An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that occurs outside the womb (uterus). It is life-threatening to the mother.
Tubal pregnancy; Cervical pregnancy; Tubal ligation-ectopic pregnancy
If the area around the abnormal pregnancy ruptures and bleeds, symptoms may get worse. They may include:
The health care provider will do a pelvic exam. This may show tenderness in the pelvic area.
A pregnancy test and vaginal ultrasound will be done.
HCG is a hormone normally produced during pregnancy. Checking the blood level of this hormone (quantitative HCG blood test) can diagnose pregnancy. If the blood level of HCG is not rising fast enough, your doctor may suspect an ectopic pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy is life-threatening. The pregnancy cannot continue to birth (term). The developing cells must be removed to save the mother's life.
You will need emergency medical help if the area of the ectopic pregnancy breaks open (ruptures). Rupture can lead to bleeding and shock, an emergency condition. Treatment for shock may include:
If there is a rupture, surgery is done to stop blood loss and remove the pregnancy. In some cases, the doctor may have to remove the fallopian tube.
If the ectopic pregnancy has not ruptured, treatment may include:
One out of three women who have had one ectopic pregnancy are later able to have a baby. Another ectopic pregnancy is more likely to occur. Some women do not become pregnant again.
The likelihood of a successful pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy depends on:
Call your doctor or nurse if you have:
An ectopic pregnancy can occur even if you use birth control.
Most forms of ectopic pregnancy that occur outside the fallopian tubes are probably not preventable. But a tubal pregnancy may be prevented in some cases by avoiding conditions that might scar the fallopian tubes. The following may reduce your risk:

A CHARITY dedicated to helping vulnerable children is calling on Dudley people to help fill a foster homes shortage.
The Fostering Network says at least 925 new foster families are needed across the West Midlands during 2014 to close a gap in care which is growing because the number of young people in need of homes has reached record levels.
More than 6,650 youngsters are currently placed with foster families in the West Midlands but more foster families are needed, particularly to provide homes for teenagers, children with disabilities and sibling groups.
Robert Tapsfield, chief executive of the Fostering Network, said: "Children and young people come into care for a wide range of reasons, but all come needing professional, dedicated and compassionate support. Foster carers are remarkable people who open their homes to some of society's most vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people.
"Fostering services across the West Midlands need to attract a diverse range of foster carers who can reflect the children in care and who can offer as much choice as possible so that they can find the right home for each child, first time.
"We urgently need people who believe that they have the right skills and qualities to foster to come forward and make a long lasting positive difference to the life of a child."
Details of fostering services, fostering and becoming a foster carer are available from couldyoufoster.org.uk.

Anybody got an opinion on the grading of the newish route on Mooihoek at Everest - Two Fingers in the Hole?
Its really only that overhang move that makes the climb. I have seen it put down anywhere between 18 and 21, though I thought 18 was pretty accurate. Just wondering what anyone else thought of it...
Two Fingers in the Hole
General climbing discussions. Climbing, Bouldering, Mountaineering. Anything!!

Its on Mooihoek Mountain next to Rhino on the City Hall Steps (actually shares 3 bolts with Rhino). Left of Men Behaving Badly and Fight the Feeling. The next 2 pitches are easy (12/13). Maybe same climb(Big Air)? Definitely saw a route guide on Rocklimbing.com that said its name was Two fingers etc...If you did it, someone has the name and grading a bit confuzzed.
Two Fingers in the hole
Goes at bout 18/19 depending on your abilities. given a grade of 21 but doesnt quite live up to that. the first pitch can be aided at teh crux (a two finger pocket) good route but nothing too special.

AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Public Safety is urging Texans to be prepared for winter weather conditions across parts of Texas. An arctic cold front is moving through parts of Texas at this time and will sweep across areas of the state this evening and tonight and continue to affect weather throughout the weekend.
"As this fast-approaching arctic storm settles over Texas, drivers may encounter freezing rain or sleet that could significantly impact road conditions," said DPS Director Steven McCraw. "With the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, many travelers may be heading to holiday destinations, and DPS is urging individuals to take extra precautions to account for winter precipitation, along with increased holiday traffic."
DPS offers the following tips for staying safe during this weather event:
In addition, here is a list of emergency supplies drivers can keep in their vehicle:

Gabriel Montoya of Maxboxing.com might be onto the story of the decade. Apparently he has sources who are divulging blockbuster information, if the information is actually true.
Montoya is gaining recognition for his drug testing and potential cover-up stories and was recently countered with a letter from Golden Boy law firm Lerman, Painter & Spitz LLP.
Jeffrey Spitz is none too pleased by Montoya's work.
In a letter to Montoya dated May 23, 2012, Spitz wrote: "...(Montoya) asserted to the Nevada State Athletic Commission that (he has) received information that Golden Boy attempted to obtain an agreement from the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) not to disclose a potential B sample test until after the tested boxer had participated in the scheduled fight. (Montoya) further asserted that Golden Boy had entered into an agreement with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) which contained such a provision.
You have also claimed that Golden Boy entered into a contract with USADA for testing in connection with Floyd Mayweather fights which provided inadvertant use exemption that would permit a positive test to be excused of the result were inadvertant use. And that Mayweather had tested positive on three occasions which were excused under the inadvertant use provision."
Spitz of course denies Montoya's views, writing, "Each of these statements is false and defames and severely damanges Golden Boy and others (most obviously Mr. Mayweather) and its and their reputations in the boxing and sports community.

Don't rock the boat
Know the rules before heading out for a fun day of boating
Byline info is not available
Saturday, May 4, 2013 5:00 AM
Department of Natural Resources officer Andy Crozier cautions boaters to know the rules and to practice safe boating while on the Ohio River. (Staff photos by Ken email@example.com)
Milton Fire and Rescue Chief Jason Long talks about the kinds of rescue calls his department gets in area waterways.
Many people head to the Ohio River for a relaxing day on the water, but the day could become disastrous if necessary precautions and proper safety equipment are ignored.
As the busy boating season approaches, local safety officials caution boaters to remember - or relearn - the basic rules of the water and to use common sense while out for the day.
The best way to stay safe on the river is to always make sure to know the river and to take all necessary safety precautions, Indiana Department of Natural Resources officer Andy Crozier said.
"The most important thing on the water is the life jacket," Crozier said. "It's a safety belt on the water."
Children under the age of 13 must have a child's life jacket on at all times as required by Indiana law. Kentucky requires children under the age of 12 to wear a life jacket, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources website said.
"If they're on the deck, they have to have their life jacket on," Crozier said.
Crozier also reminded boaters that everyone on the water must have the correct size life jacket. He said he often finds children with adult-sized life jackets.
"People do that thinking it's more protection," he said, yet an adult-sized life jacket makes it easier for children to slip out of the jacket and into the water.
Adults also need a life jacket in correct working order, readily available and the correct size.
"You're going to need (life jackets) instantly when you need them," Crozier said, noting life jackets in storage won't be of much help if a boat capsizes or is hit.
Still, emergency responders are ready for water rescues should something go wrong or someone needs help.
The Milton Fire and Rescue department in Milton, Ky., maintains a water rescue boat and responds to calls from the U.S. Coast Guard, much like the Indiana Department of Conservation, Fire Chief Jason Long said
"The Coast Guard will get a call from a barge," Long said, or people living near the river may call through the area dispatch to report a possible incident on the water.
While most of the calls aren't actual emergencies, once in a while crews have to respond to a boat accident or a report of someone jumping off of the Madison-Milton bridge.
"The majority of our (calls) are just boats adrift," Long said.
The Milton crew responds to about 10 emergency calls a year.
"People don't understand the river," Long said. "Just knowing the river is the biggest thing."
As with any body of water, danger does exist from high water, driftwood and large pieces of debris from time to time.
"Remember it's always changing," Crozier said of the river.
Even though lakes and ponds may stay the same over time, the river could change throughout the day or weekend - and the river changes considerably from one boating season to another.
Another difference between lakes and the Ohio River is the commercial traffic traveling on the major waterway, Crozier said. Barge traffic on the river makes evening boating more dangerous than on other waterways or lakes.
"At night you can't see," he said.
Required lights help identify other boats on the water, but some lights might appear to be farther away or seem as if they are from the shore.
"That's one of the hardest things - to keep lights in working order (on a boat)," he said.
While Indiana and Kentucky maintain separate laws and regulations for operating on the Ohio River, anyone holding an Indiana or Kentucky fishing license is allowed to fish the Ohio River bank to bank with either state license, Crozier said, but people must follow the regulations of the state they are licensed while boating or fishing.
In Indiana, boaters are required to have a valid driver's license, as well as a valid boat registration when operating on the river. A boater's education course in Indiana allows someone to drive a boat beginning at the age of 15. Boats may be operated by people ages 12 and up in Kentucky should they pass a boater's education course, the state's Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources website said.
Still, the U.S. Coast Guard and conservation officers may check a boat if they have reasonable reason to do so. While most violations issued by conservation officers deal with life jackets, other violations issued include driving a boat while intoxicated and reckless driving, Crozier said.
Boaters should also beware of the speeds allowed on the river. The Ohio River has unlimited speeds 24 hours a day unlike other bodies of water, but drivers should still use caution and common sense when operating on the river - especially near boat ramps, in congested areas and around construction areas, Crozier said.
Even though the river allows for unlimited speeds, conservation officers might cite Indiana or Kentucky boaters for reckless operation if passengers or other boaters are deemed to be in danger.
Overall, the stretch of river throughout the Courierarea doesn't have a high number of accidents like other area.
"It's a very safe body of water," Crozier said, yet precautions still should be taken for a day out on the water.
Above all else, watch out for others and use some common sense to help avoid accidents, he said.
"Be courteous to other boaters," he said. "It's just using common courtesy."

Plumlee delivers the FACIAL!
Paul George puts down the alley-oop from DJ Augustin!
Jeff Pendergraph alley-oops to Gerald Green for the skywalking jam!
Roy Hibbert lobs it to Paul George for the one-handed dunk!
This was a great game, in my opinion! I got to go with my dad to our first Pacers game together since (probably) 2009 or so. And since we sat with Area 55 for the last three quarters, we had a BLAST! It was awesome seeing everyone, as per usual, and I'm really glad my dad enjoyed himself.
On that note, he said he was very impressed with Green, Augustin, and Plumlee. I would say the same as well, but Paul really showed out tonight (20 points, 8 boards, 4 assists), despite going 4/20 (or something) from the field. Hibbert had a sweet double-double (18 and 12 if I'm not mistaken). I was impressed with the game. There are definitely some things about the team in general that need to be polished (better passing, less fumbling with the ball, etc.). However, I have a feeling that, as the Pacers continue to play against NBA talent instead of each other in practice, they'll get more acclimated to making back-door cuts, lobbing properly, making good passes, etc.
However, I was incredibly impressed with several of Augustin's passes. Spot-on, decent bounces, and made two great lobs to Paul George. However, Paul fumbled the second lob, which otherwise would have been an incredible tomahawk dunk.
I'm really excited for this season, and I'm psyched that I've gotten to party with Area 55 for both home preseason games thus far!

With one deadline to qualify for state and local offices set for Friday, key election contests to be decided in the coming months are finally taking shape.
Assemblymember Bill Monning, a Carmel Democrat who is expected to walk into a Central Coast Senate seat that tilts heavily to Democrats, finally drew a possible opponent in Republican Scotts Valley Unified School Board President Larry Beaman. County Supervisor Mark Stone, who stood alone in the race to succeed Monning in the Assembly, drew a definite opponent in Boulder Creek resident Bob Fultz.
"For me the issues revolve around the economy, job creation, how we're going to be helping working-class families," said Fultz, a consultant, former San Lorenzo Valley school board trustee and, like Stone, a Democrat.
Beaman did not immediately return a phone call, and Monning - who still would be a heavy favorite even with Beaman in the race - said he would wait and see if he officially drew a rival.
"I don't make a practice of speculating. We'll see who's filed come the 14th," Monning said.
The filing deadline is March 9. However, in races where no incumbent is running, the deadline is extended until Wednesday.
But in a major wrinkle, whether a race has an incumbent isn't always clear after statewide redistricting, which is in place for the upcoming June primary and November general elections.
"We're lucky here because I think it's pretty clear who our incumbents are," said Santa Cruz County Clerk Gail Pellerin, president of the California Association of Clerks and Election Officials. "But that's not the case in about half the state."
As the filing deadline approaches, what had been expected to be a free-for-all in the three county supervisor races - two of them for open seats - has instead become more focused.
So far, just five candidates have been approved for the county races, including incumbent Chair John Leopold in the county's 1st District, which includes Live Oak and Soquel. Leopold could face a challenge from frequent candidate Gary Richard Arnold, but former Silicon Valley executive Tom North, who pulled election papers earlier this week, said Thursday he is not running after all.
In the 2nd District, Santa Cruz police analyst Zach Friend has qualified for the ballot, as has frequent candidate Doug Deitch. Others - including Freedom contractor Daniel Beckett, who pulled papers to run on Thursday - have expressed interest in the district, which includes Aptos and Capitola. But some have dropped out.
One remaining potential candidate is former Watsonville Mayor Antonio Rivas, who is being watched closely. Rivas did not return a phone call Thursday. If Rivas opted against running, Friend has a clear path to victory, freeing up local party and union election resources to be deployed elsewhere.
In the 5th District, former Secretary of State Bruce McPherson is on the ballot, as is Boulder Creek Recreation and Park District member Eric Hammer. Other candidates who've shown interest are Lompico County Water District Director Bill Smallman, former San Lorenzo Valley Unified School District Trustee Susan Weber and former Boulder Creek Recreation and Park District member John Abel. The district covers Scotts Valley and the San Lorenzo Valley.
Coming from a prominent local family and with a long career in state politics, McPherson's decision to get into the race caught all the attention, and he has followed through by canvassing the district daily and easily outpacing the rest of the field in fundraising.
After San Lorenzo Valley school board Trustee George Wylie dropped out, Hammer, who has raised more than $17,000 for the race, has emerged as McPherson's chief competition.
"This has always been down to Bruce and me, from the very beginning," Hammer said.
Owing to the competitive nature of the races this year, several endorsements came in early, before the candidate filing period closed.
They include the influential Democratic Women's Club of Santa Cruz County and the Monterey Bay Central Labor Council, both of which are backing Leopold, Friend and Hammer.
The county's Democratic Central Committee plans to endorse early in April.
In an Assembly district covering Watsonville and the Salinas Valley, incumbent Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville, had drawn a Republican challenger in Robert Bernosky, setting up a replay of a 2010 race.
In federal races, incumbent Rep. Sam Farr, D-Carmel, has four possible opponents, but only one who is officially on the ballot: Dan Caudle. Incumbent Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, has one potential challenger in David William Chapman.

The Environment Agency is expected in Bradford on Avon to look at putting flood defences in place as the town prepares for more rain tonight.
The agency will be working with Wiltshire Council, Wiltshire Police and Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service to try and prevent the Kennet and Avon Canal flooding.
A Wiltshire Council spokesperson said: "When the Environment Agency arrive we are going to work with them to look at the feasibility of putting defences in place."
The key areas of concern in Bradford on Avon are the Bull Pit and the town bridge. During this winter's severe rainfall Bradford on Avon's residents and motorists have been regularly affected with the town bridge being closed to commuters over Christmas after it flooded.

The Federal Trade Commission in the US recently released their
consumer complaints survey results and for the 12th year running, the number one consumer complaint was identity theft.
Whilst this result is arguably predictable, given that it is after all, the
12th time identity fraud has topped the list, what is surprising is the fact that institutions seem to be struggling with addressing their customers' complaints.
Interestingly, government documents/benefits fraud was the most common form of reported identity theft with 27%, which was followed by credit card fraud with 14%, phone or utilities fraud with 13% and bank fraud with 9%.
Service providers should take note - consumers' are concerned about fraud and have made it their priority to prevent it from happening again. Customer experience is vital to a business's or government departments' success, especially in the financial services
industry, where the market is crowded and consumers have the freedom to vote with their feet and switch to competitor companies.
Service providers could therefore lose money in two ways: costs spent on fixing the fraud and losing disgruntled customers.
Preventing fraud doesn't have to be a complicated affair. Finding the right security systems and knowing which methods of authentication are best for each individual business model is key, as no one size fits all; it's all about layers of protection. Security
technology is advancing and in the fight against identity theft we are able to authenticate today using biometric technology, and for me, the most secure, dynamic and user-friendly is voice-based. It's an exciting time for the security industry and stopping
a fraud or catching it early will make customers feel assured and it's just good customer service.

Darts, Pt IITrick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
Boudreaux, a master dartsman, was bragging to his bar mates that he was such a consummate player, he could hit the dartboard in any location at will.
"I'll wager a hundred dollars that, no matter what position you name on the board, I'll be able to hit it."
Thibedeaux, tired of Boudreaux's windbaggery, shouted out an answer.
Boudreaux stammered for a few moments and at first refused to pay. The other bar patrons, however, made sure he held up his end of the wager. Boudreaux slammed a hundred dollar bill on the counter and stormed out.
Where on the dartboard did Thibedeaux suggest?
AnswerThe back of the board.

This little table lamp stands slightly over 12" tall. The central shell is a US Navy 1 pounder that is dated 1917. Also attached are four rifle shell casings and bullets.
What makes this lamp special is the addition of the copper Freemasonry symbol on the central shell. The square and compass is probably the most recognized symbols of Masons.
The lamp dates from the early post war period. Veterans eager for souvenirs of service, could order vases, lamps and other items created from shells and embellished in a variety of themes.

A 22-year-old man was hospitalized Friday after a mid-day shooting at the transit center in downtown San Rafael, police said.
The attack occurred shortly before 1 p.m. near Tamalpais Avenue between Second and Third streets. Police said the victim was standing at a bus stop on the west side of the terminal when the gunman approached from Tamalpais Avenue and fired his gun.
The victim staggered across the transit center and collapsed near a cement bench, where witnesses said he was helped by an off-duty paramedic and a private security officer for the Barbier Security Group.
The gunman got into a gold sedan driven by someone else, and was last seen racing down Second Street toward Highway 101, said police spokesman Margo Rohrbacher. The gunman was described as 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches tall with dark clothing and a handgun.
Two workers in the area reported hearing two sharp pops when the shooting happened.
"I really didn't put two and two together until I saw the police cars," said Tony Oliveto, who works across the street at Whistlestop.
Gary Bendana, 43, said he was walking from a doctor's appointment when he saw the victim fleeing. He said the victim appeared to suffer one gunshot in a thigh and another that "shattered" an arm.
Bendana said the off-duty paramedic stripped the victim's pants off and used a tourniquet to stop the heavy bleeding.
"That whole block of cement is covered in blood," he said.
Paramedics took the victim to Marin General Hospital, where he was in surgery and is expected to survive, Rohrbacher said. His name and hometown were not released.
San Rafael fire Battalion Chief Jeff Buscher said the tourniquet may have saved the man's life, because the bullet apparently hit a femoral artery.
San Rafael police closed off two of the three bus platforms for several hours during the investigation, restricting the flow of Golden Gate Transit buses and airport shuttles. Traffic was nearly grinding on Second and Third streets and cross streets in the area.
Police released no information about a possible motive as the investigation continues.
The shooting was the third in San Rafael in about a month.
On Nov. 13, a 26-year-old man was shot in the back near Fourth Street and Tamalpais Avenue in what police described as a gang-related attack. Two suspects were arrested that day, but police said there were two other associates who were not identified.
On Nov. 23, two men survived an attack in the parking lot of Club 101 on 815 West Francisco Blvd., and no suspects have been arrested.
The attack on Friday occurred amid an ongoing police crackdown on crimes and public nuisances in downtown San Rafael and the transit center.
"I think the cops are doing a great job, but they need the city and the county and everyone to help," said Armin Naghashian, who works at Marin Filmworks, across the street from the shooting. "We feel harassed by the riff-raff. The cops are doing what they can, but they need more help."
Anyone with information can call San Rafael police at 485-3000. Tipsters can also call the multilingual Bay Area Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-222-8477, where they can remain anonymous and be eligible for a possible cash reward.

Topic: No tumor growth in ten months
I've been hesitating to post this after so much bad news lately-- I guess I feel almost guilty for doing so well. But in case it encourages somebody, I just wanted to say that I finally got brave and ASKED for a CAT scan and the results were great. No progression in my tumors at all since last July, and that's with no medical treatment.
You might remember that I was in a panic last summer because both my old oncologist and the Mayo Clinic told me I had to start chemo immediately, after I had a scan showing that the tumors had started growing again. Instead I found a new oncologist (an older guy with a ton of experience) and we decided to do blood tests once a month (liver and CA19-9) and scan me if they started getting worse. Well, they've been stable ever since, and the CAT scan shows that everything's quiet in there.
I have been doing a ton of other things to take care of myself. Meditation daily, acupucture weekly, good diet, lots of supplements (especially milk thistle, ginseng, IP-6), exercise 6 days a week, and I've been practicing qigong since November, and I think that's done me a world of good. So, I have no idea what's helping, but I can say for sure that I made the right decision 2 1/2 years ago after radiation and the failed surgery, when they wanted to start me on Gemzar, and I said let's just wait and see.
Thanks to all of you for your support and encouragement!

While this Nashville-based couple have regularly appeared on each other's albums, this is their first official co-release, and it does an excellent job of seamlessly combining Julie's folk-rock leanings with Buddy's hard-country inclinations. Ranging from acoustic country ballads and anguished hillbilly laments to chiming folk-rock and edgier rock fare, the album easily ranks with the best work of both. 8/15/2001 - Don Yates

It's lights, camera, action for a second cinema for Trowbridge, with the demolition of the former Bowyers factory site expected to start soon.
The Planning Inspectorate has given permission for developer Prorsus to build an eight-screen Cineworld, a Morrisons supermarket, six restaurants and a pub on the derelict Bowyers land as part of a £46m scheme known as Innox Riverside.
The developer is currently seeking contractors to carry out the project and demolition is expected to start on the existing buildings in the coming weeks, with the whole scheme creating around 400 jobs. No completion date for the project has been set and Prorsus say plans will be outlined next month.
Angus Horner, Prorsus managing director, said: "We'll be doing all we can to get Innox Riverside up and running as fast as we can, but I can't give a date when it'll open at this stage as formal discussions need to take place."
Planning inspector David Nicholson released a report on Monday overturning Wilt-shire Council's rejection of Prorsus' proposals in June 2012. This followed a three-day planning appeal at Trow-bridge Civic Centre earlier this month.
Mr Horner said: "I massively care about this project, but it's the people of Trowbridge who deserve the pat on the back and should be pictured on the front page as their commitment has been unbelievable."
When Wiltshire Council rejected the Bowyers plans around 400 supporters of the regeneration marched through Trowbridge, from the site to County Hall, in protest.
A Facebook group in support of Prorsus' plans was set up and members of the public also gave their backing to the proposals during a three-day planning appeal.
Campaigner Rebecca Millard, a Trowbridge resident, said: "This is absolutely amazing news, I'm over the moon and I think it is brilliant that the planning inspector understood how strong the public support was."
In February 2013, Prorsus saw plans for a 'reserve' application – which replaced the cinema with an unspecified leisure facility and added a petrol station – accepted by Wiltshire Council.
As part of this permission, the developer had already started working on the Bowyers site while awaiting the outcome of the appeal into their preferred scheme.
Wiltshire and Trowbridge Town Councillor John Knight said: "Prorsus' legal team were brilliant, but the members of the public who came down to every meeting deserve a pat on the back as they must have had an influence on the inspector.
"This is a victory for people power."
The new Cineworld will be competition to the Odeon which opened in November as part of the £17m St Stephens Place development.

30 NumbersMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
Numbers from 1 to 30 are written on a blackboard.
Add the first two numbers, and append it to the end, then erase the first two numbers.
For example, after the first time, the numbers become 3, 4, 5, ..., 29, 30, and 3.
Repeat this process until you get only one number.
How many addition operations are there, and what is the last number on the blackboard?
HintTry to find the pattern.
AnswerAfter each operation, the numbers reduce by one, therefore you need 29 times.
Of course, the last number remaining on the blackboard is the sum of all the numbers from 1 to 30, which is (1+30)*30/2=465.

Carp not worried about role with Red Sox
BRADENTON, Fla. -- The last thing Mike Carp wants to do is analyze his Spring Training statistics. Carp, who thrived in a part-time role with the Red Sox last season, came into Sunday's game batting just .133 for the Grapefruit League season and dismissed any talk about a slow spring start.
"When the switch flips, the season starts," said Carp, who homered in Boston's 4-1 win over the Pirates. "Obviously, it's just about preparation, right now. It's about getting your eyes working, getting your body working and trying to figure out any keys that you need to get going for the season."
Carp has experience in this department. The former ninth-round Draft pick batted just .178 during Spring Training last year, and then he put together the best season of his brief career. Carp batted .296 with nine home runs in 86 games last year, establishing himself as a key bench cog for Boston.
Usually, when a young player has a big year, he can expect an expanded role. But not when he is a member of the World Series champions. Carp, who plays first base and both corner-outfield slots, is blocked from gaining a greater share of at-bats by star-caliber players like David Ortiz and Mike Napoli.
Carp, to his credit, is more concerned about winning again than he is in starting elsewhere.
"They found plenty of at-bats for me last year -- and it worked," Carp said. "Hopefully, they can find a little more this year, but we're trying to win. The whole goal is to go out and win a world championship -- and we did that last year. The formula for success is there. We'll try to keep on a winning track, and when I get the opportunity to be in a game, I'm going to do everything I can to help the team win that day."
"He did a great job -- not only accepting the role, but staying ready and performing as good as we could've hoped," added manager John Farrell about Carp's results in '13. "He came up with a number of big hits. We've grown accustomed to his and other players' versatility. He and [Daniel] Nava [are] a couple guys who can go to different positions. We see him in the same role [this year]."
Carp, who was purchased from the Seattle Mariners last February, has never had 300 at-bats in a season. He set a career best with 290 at-bats in 2011, and last year was the only other season in which he's had more than 200 at-bats in the big leagues. Carp spent the entire 2013 campaign with the Red Sox, and he said on Sunday that he doesn't spend time thinking about starting somewhere else.
"It's an unrealistic thing to think about. The whole goal is to play every day -- whether it comes this year or next year," Carp said. "I'd be waiting with arms wide open for 500 at-bats. But if my role doesn't permit that this year, that's what it is. I can only control what I can control and do the best I can."

June 26, 2001 - Knight Commission Proposes Penalties for Colleges Whose Athletes Fail Academically; Pursues Other Major Reforms Of College Sports 10 Years After Issuing Landmark Report
Washington, D.C. – The Knight Foundation Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics today recommended that teams with graduation rates of less than 50 percent be barred from conference championships or postseason play. The sweeping recommendations, which include prohibiting corporate logos on athlete uniforms, also call for the establishment of a Coalition of Presidents representing academic as well as athletic associations to pursue needed reforms.
After a series of hearings in 2000-2001, the panel found that the problems of college sports have worsened since 1991 when it issued a landmark report on student athletics that recommended placing control of athletics in the hands of college presidents. The Commission noted that even with presidential control and rule changes, the NCAA "cannot independently do what needs to be done. Its dual mission of keeping sports clean while generating millions of dollars in broadcasting revenue for member institutions creates a near-irreconcilable conflict."
The key Knight Commission recommendations to address corruption in college sports today are:
- Barring teams that do not graduate at least 50 percent of their players from conference championships or post-season play;
- Reallocating TV revenue from the Men's NCAA Div. I Basketball Tournament;
- Prohibiting athletes from wearing uniforms with corporate logos;
- Encouraging the NBA and NFL to develop minor leagues;
- Banning legal gambling on collegiate athletics;
- Establishing a Coalition of Presidents with the American Council on Education to pursue a reform agenda;
- Creating an independent watchdog body with the support of foundations and the Association of Governing Boards to monitor big-time college sports programs.
The Knight Commission acknowledged that while the NCAA and some individual schools have made progress, they have not been effective overall. The panel also believes that "only a multilateral effort among college presidents can reduce out-of-control spending on college sports and academic transgressions" and that "if intercollegiate athletics cannot live honorably within the American college and university system, then institutions should get out of the business of big-time sports."
The report states:
While the NCAA and individual schools have made considerable progress… the problems of big-time college sports have grown rather than diminished. The most glaring problems -- academic transgressions, a financial arms race, and commercialization -- are all evidence of the widening chasm between higher education's ideals and big-time college sports.
Given the enormous scope of this reform effort, the Commission recognizes that change will have to come in a series of steps over time. The work must be accomplished by a concerted grassroots effort by the broader academic community, in concert with trustees, administrators, and faculty. Nothing less than a collective effort from the higher education community can accomplish the reintegration of college sports into the moral and institutional culture of the university.
During a series of meetings held ten years after issuing a landmark 1991 report that proposed putting control of athletic programs into the hands of college and university presidents, the 27-member Knight Commission took aim at today's troubling issues. The panel heard from university presidents, faculty, conference commissioners, athletic directors, coaches, athletes, authors, NCAA and professional sports officials, TV executives, a sports apparel representative, a gambling lobbyist, a U.S. Senator, and other experts.
The Knight Commission's original deliberations led to development of a "one-plus-three" model in which the college president (the "one") is responsible for three key aspects of athletic programs: academic integrity, financial integrity, and independent certification. Most of the Commission's recommendations were eventually adopted by the NCAA.
During its 2000-2001 deliberations, the Knight Commission found that college sports and higher education need a new "one-plus-three" model for these new times, with the "one" being a Coalition of Presidents that would enact an agenda of academic reform, de-escalation of the athletics arms race, and de-emphasis of the commercialization of intercollegiate athletics.
The Knight Commission is co-chaired by William C. Friday, president emeritus of the University of North Carolina, and the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, president emeritus of the University of Notre Dame. The panel includes university presidents, as well as business and sports leaders.
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation promotes excellence in journalism worldwide and invests in the vitality of 26 US communities.

U.S. and South Korean defense and diplomatic experts will conduct a tabletop exercise examining nuclear deterrence on the Korean Peninsula, a Pentagon official told reporters Wednesday.
Los Alamos National Laboratory is playing host to 40 U.S. and South Korean officials for the extended exercise, which will look at deterrence methods in response to a nuclear threat scenario, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said.
Lab officials were unavailable for comment on how long the joint exercises will be taking place or who the representatives are from each participating country.
This is the second exercise of its type. The first was at U.S. Strategic Command in 2011. It is conducted under the auspices of a bilateral committee formed in late 2010 to discuss alliance response in the event of a nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula, Little said.
Exercise participants will look at concepts, crisis decision-making and the requirements of employing extended deterrence assets in response to a nuclear threat scenario, he said.
"The exercise demonstrates that extended deterrence for the ROK is credible, capable, and enduring, by fostering the joint study of deterrence challenges and by identifying opportunities for cooperation and collaboration," Little said.
Bob Webster has been named associate director for Weapon Physics and John Benner has been named associate director for Weapon Engineering and Experiments. Both have been in their positions as acting associate directors since March 2012.
As associate director for Weapon Physics, Webster has responsibility for weapon design and computational physics along with programmatic responsibility for the Advanced Simulation and Computing Program and Science Campaigns. The Directorate consists of Computational Physics and Theoretical Design Divisions.
Webster has been at Los Alamos since 1988 and over the years has worked in a variety of applied physics organizations and on a broad spectrum of projects including the integrated weapons code "Antero" project, which he led. Webster was the science advisor to NNSA Defense Programs working on "complex transformation" and the nuclear posture review. As deputy X- Division leader he began the new Computational Physics Division with responsibility over development of integrated design codes. More recently Webster managed the Advanced Simulation and Computing program.
Webster holds both master's and doctorate degrees in nuclear engineering from Purdue University and master's and bachelor's degrees in electrical engineering from Case Western Reserve University.
A joint exercise gets underway Thursday at Los Alamos National Laboratory which will look at various response scenarios to ongoing nuclear threats from North Korea.
U.S. and South Korean defense and diplomatic experts will conduct a tabletop exercise examining nuclear deterrence on the Korean Peninsula, a Pentagon official told reporters Wednesday.
LANL is playing host to 40 U.S. and South Korean officials for the extended exercise, which will look at deterrence methods in response to a nuclear threat scenario, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said.
Lab officials were unavailable for comment on how long the joint exercises will be taking place or who the representatives are from each participating country.
This is the second exercise of its type. The first was at U.S. Strategic Command in 2011. It is conducted under the auspices of a bilateral committee formed in late 2010 to discuss alliance response in the event of a nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula, Little said.

The Regional Coalition of LANL Communities announced that it has launched a new website at regionalcoalition.org.
As part of the Regional Coalition's goal to increase transparency, the website includes the latest information regarding Regional Coalition Board members, meeting notices and minutes and news related to the Regional Coalition.
It also has a sign-up feature where community members can be added to the Regional Coalition's information distribution list.
"We are excited to launch the new website to ensure that our communities are informed and engaged with the work of the Coalition and look forward to continued community input and support as we move forward," said Santa Fe Mayor David Coss, Chair of the Regional Coalition.
The Regional Coalition's Board of Directors includes one representative from eight local government jurisdictions surrounding the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Cold War Patriots, a non-profit organization, is hosting a town hall meeting to bring information to former Los Alamos National Lab workers. The meeting will be at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the Holiday Inn Express in Los Alamos.
The Cold War Patriots town hall meeting will focus on discussing the expansion of the Special Exposure Cohort for all LANL workers. Those who worked at the site from 1975 through 1995 can now qualify for free medical benefits and up to $400,000 in compensation through the EEOICPA.
Cold War Patriots will hold a plaque ceremony at the beginning of the meeting to honor and thank those who have aided in the passing of the SEC petition. Representatives from Sen. Tom Udall and Congressman Ben Ray Luján's offices, as well as Andrew Evaskovich, who was the petitioner, will be present to accept these awards.
From a press release
The National Nuclear Security Administration announced that it has accomplished 112 percent of its goal for planned stockpile dismantlement in FY 2012.
"NNSA delivered on President Obama's commitment to reduce the numbers of U.S. nuclear weapons declared excess to the stockpile and awaiting dismantlement. We exceeded our dismantlement goals for FY 2012 by a significant margin," said NNSA Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs Don Cook.
"Our stockpile today is smaller, but the deterrent remains just as safe, secure and effective as it was. Dismantlement of legacy weapons is a key part of the Nuclear Posture Review, going hand-in-hand with the safety and security improvements in our Life Extension Programs and critical to our long-term national security."
NNSA successfully dismantled a number of B61 and B83-0/1 bombs and W76-0, W80-0, W84 and W78 warheads.
Taking apart nuclear weapons is a process that involves virtually all of NNSA's sites within the nuclear security enterprise. NNSA's design laboratories work with Pantex Plant to identify and mitigate hazards that may arise before a particular weapon type is dismantled. NNSA's national laboratories then apply the knowledge they gained during the original design process to each weapon in the stockpile.
The White House released a statement of administrative policy regarding the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2013.
The administration made 18 objections to the defense bill proposed by the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Chemistry Metallurgy Research Replacement facility project is listed seventh on the list.
The SASC, despite the administration decision to defer the LANL project for five years, put in $150 million in funding.
The administration said it agrees with numerous provisions of the act, but if it makes its way to the president in its present form, the bill would get vetoed.
The statement read: "the Administration strongly objects to section 3111, which would require construction of the CMRR facility to begin in 2013. The Departments of Defense and Energy agree that, in light of today's fiscal environment, CMRR can be deferred for at least five years, and funds reallocated to support higher priority nuclear weapons goals.
Business owners who want to learn more about doing business with LANL or other government agencies are encouraged to attend the Northern New Mexico Resource Fair from 8-11 a.m. Dec. 5 at the Ohkay Owingeh Convention Center, north of Española.
At the resource fair, attendees can
• get up-to-date information on how to register their business with various state government agencies
• learn how to become more successful in bidding for contracts from LANL and other government agencies
• learn how to certify their business as a small business
• connect with available business resources
• network with other businesses
• learn about the WorkKeys skills assessment program.
"This resource fair is designed to give businesses more knowledge about procurement processes and upcoming opportunities from LANL, LANL subcontractors, the state of New Mexico, local governments and other large organizations in need of goods and services in 2013," said Kathy Keith, executive director of the Regional Development Corporation. "We encourage local businesses to come and learn about available resources."
Cobalt, a relatively common mineral, may hold promise as an industrial catalyst with potential applications in such energy-related technologies as the production of biofuels and the reduction of carbon dioxide.
That is, provided the cobalt is captured in a complex molecule so it mimics the precious metals that normally serve this industrial role.
In work published Nov. 26 in the international edition of the chemistry journal Angewandte Chemie, Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists report the possibility of replacing the normally used noble metal catalysts with cobalt.
Catalysts are the parallel of the Philosopher's Stone for chemistry. They cannot change lead to gold, but they do transform one chemical substance into another, while remaining unchanged themselves. Perhaps the most familiar example of catalysis comes from automobile exhaust systems that change toxic fumes into more benign gases, but catalysts are also integral to thousands of industrial, synthetic and renewable energy processes where they accelerate or optimize a mind-boggling array of chemical reactions.
It's not an exaggeration to say that without catalysts, there would be no modern industry.
More details have emerged concerning the five members of the Los Alamos National Laboratory security force that were terminated two weeks ago for the improper use of the live fire shooting range located at Technical Area 72.
The lab security force is called Securing Our Country or SOC.
The lab was asked if it could provide any more background about what the inappropriate conduct was and it responded, "Unauthorized visitors were allowed access to the shooting range and allowed to operate a variety of firearms."
The lab said the incident was discovered when it received information from an anonymous source, that was then verified by LANL and SOC.
As far as the contract between the lab and SOC and whether there would be any further action or otherwise, the response was, "The inquiry is ongoing and we will determine what further actions are needed, if any."
The lab said it is not identifying the guards involved because it is a personnel action and that it would not characterize the relationships between the involved parties who were on the shooting range.
NNSA spokesperson Josh McConaha said, "We've been closely involved with LANL as they have investigated the incident and taken corrective action."

The Week In Music: Groban Sings Kanye's Tweets
In a new spin on social networking, Josh Groban recently previewed his upcoming (read: fictitious) new album on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" The album, titled The Best Tweets Of Kanye West, features, as its title suggests, Groban on piano singing quotes from West's Twitter commentary. Tweets such as "Do you know where to find marble conference tables? I'm looking to have a conference…not until I get a table though" and "Black is the new black," have been transformed from mere words to lilting pop/classical ballads the singer is known for. You can watch Groban's performance for yourself, but here are our favorite selections: "Classical music is tight yo"; "French fries are the devil"; and "I make awesome decisions in bike stores." Thinking of buying a bike? You may want to consult @kanyewest.
Selling millions of albums and concert tickets is one thing, but which artist had the cover power to sell the most magazines in 2010? Lady Gaga was the top monster, with Cosmopolitan's April issue featuring Gaga on the cover selling a whopping 1.7 million copies. Additionally, the July 8 issue of Rolling Stone featuring a gun-brandishing Gaga on the cover moved 245,000 copies. Finally, Gaga's Vanity Fair cover from September sold an impressive 450,000 copies. On the other side of the magazine wars was Taylor Swift, whose Elle and Glamour cover issues experienced disappointing sales. Swift's cover issue of Marie Claire was also the magazine's third-worst-selling issue through October.
Speaking of Gaga, she is one of two GRAMMY-winning artists who have put the finishing touches on their new albums for 2011. The lady announced the release dates for her new album, Born This Way, and first single (as well as a glimpse of the possible cover art) via Twitter: "The release date for the first single from THE SONG 2 13 11 THE RECORD 5 23 11." Hmm…Feb. 13 is the date of the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards (light bulb). The Foo Fighters will release the follow-up to 2007's GRAMMY-winning Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace in the spring. "Ladies and gentlemen ... we are officially done. Champagne, anyone?" head Foo Dave Grohl posted on his Twitter page, along with a photo. Guests on the Foos' new album will include Grohl's former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic and Hüsker Dü/Sugar frontman Bob Mould.
Following in the line of hot reality TV star music debuts — who can forget Paris Hilton's lilting "Stars Are Blind" and Heidi Montag's contemplative "Superficial," Kim Kardashian has thrown her hat into the music ring. Las Vegas nightclub Tao debuted her new song "Turn It Up," which was produced by GRAMMY winner Terius "The Dream" Nash, to help ring in the new year this past weekend, and "the response was huge," said an unidentified source. We haven't heard the song yet, but this could be the start of something huge….
On that note, what did some of our celebrities have to say about turning the page to 2011? Let's take a look at some of the first tweets of the year with the TWIM Twittertable. kimkardashian: Dancing the night away at @ TaoLasVegas HAPPY NEW YEAR! genesimmons: HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all. May all your dreams come true. justinbieber: so #HappyNewYear and #godbless and let's make 2011 even better. I love all of you and Im still the kid from Stratford and Im never changin! keshasuxx: @ryanseacrest thank u for an epic night that was sooooo much funnn!!!!! brunomars: We're at Haze nightclub startin off 2011 the right way!! Wish you guys were here. I love you all!! johnmayer: (Sorry, that page doesn't exist!)
Continuing on the Twitter tip, for those interested in winning a date with teen heartthrob Justin Bieber, beware. An apparent budding relationship between Bieber and Selena Gomez has cost the young actress/singer death threats, according to Huffington Post and TMZ reports. It seems Twitter teens don't believe it's just innocent puppy love. "Roses are red, violets are blue," begins one post, "Selena Gomez if you'll [sic] break Justin Bieber's heart I'm gonna kill you." And Bieber was just looking for somebody to love.
Katy Perry's "Firework" holds the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for the second consecutive week and Bruno Mar's "Grenade" is No. 1 on the iTunes singles chart.

Last weekend was so hardcore that it's taken me quite a while to recover and realize what even happened. Instead of one long post with stories and photos about both events I'm going to break them up. So let's start with Newcastle. I've been friends with DJ Smurf (Glenn Petersen) for quite a long time and we have been thinking of a way to get me to perform in his hometown. After a few tries with help of his friends Booney and Donald Jenkins they pulled off a really sick event. It was at a club called Think Tank in an industrial area. It was over 100F all week in NY so while I was enjoying the cool weather in the UK the funny thing was they were all complaining about the heat. I guess it never even gets warm there. I even noticed that while in the hotel the news was reporting several cases of severe sunburns. These are some translucent skinned gingery people! The venue was a concrete cube just the right size for my long light cable to reach the back of the room if I so decided to trot into the crowd. During soundcheck I had the chance to test out a few new tracks including a EBM slammer I recorded with Belgian artist Radical G. After a change of clothes I put some new Dr. Martens on and the night began. It was pretty packed and I really got into it. I will say on stage it was dam hot. I had to pause and grab water more and a few times. I was basically one hundred percent wet by the time the hour was over. After Don stage dived and almost killed a girl I went into the crowd too. Deaf and wet I still couldn't resist hanging out after the event. There's some good looking fun people there and it was hard to get myself back to the hotel room within a reasonable time. Glenn was kind enough to have me over his house for a few drinks. His girlfriend who for some reason they call hotdog is pretty insane and obsessed with the Kardashians. My issue was I had to get to Dortmund for my next show and I had a 4 hour layover in Heathrow. With a lot of luck I made it. To see the full set of photos: click here

A typical Paper Boat contains many different kinds of information, often located in specialized parts or sections. Even sharp Paper Boat action several exchange operations: introducing the argument, analyzing data, raising counterarguments, concluding. Introductions and conclusions have definite places, but supplementary parts don't. Counterargument, for example, may appear within a paragraph, as a free-standing section, as portion of the beginning, or before the ending. Background material (historical context or biographical how to fold a paper boat that floats information, a summary of relevant theory or criticism, the definition of a key term) often appears at the arrival of the essay, in the middle of the establishment and the first rational section, but might moreover appear near the dawn of the specific section to which it's relevant.
It's accepting to think of the stand-in Origami Boat sections a s answering a series of questions your reader might question bearing in mind encountering your thesis. (Readers should have questions. If they how do you make a paper boat that floats don't, your thesis is most likely helpfully an observation of fact, not an arguable claim.)
"What?" How to fold a Paper Boat The first ask to anticipate from a reader is "what": What evidence shows that the phenomenon described by your thesis is true? To respond the question you must examine your evidence, hence demonstrating the given of your claim. This "what" or "demonstration" section comes further on in the essay, often directly after the easy origami boat steps introduction. back you're in fact reporting what you've observed, this is the ration you might have most to tell more or less in the same way as you first begin writing. But be forewarned: it shouldn't consent taking place much more than a third (often much less) of your over and done making a paper boat that floats with essay. If it does, the essay will dearth report and may door as mere summary or description.
"How?" How to fold a Paper Boat A reader will then want to know whether the claims of the thesis are legitimate in all cases. The corresponding ask is "how": How does the thesis stand occurring to the challenge of a counterargument? How does the creation of additional materiala new quirk of looking at the evidence, marginal set of sourcesaffect the claims you're making? Typically, an essay will intensify at least one "how" section. (Call it "complication" past you're responding to a reader's complicating questions.) This section usually comes after the "what," but keep in mind that an essay may complicate its argument several era depending upon its le ngth, and that counterargument alone may appear just roughly anywhere in an essay.
"Why?" Paper Boat Your reader will plus want to know what's at stake in your claim: Why does your notes of a phenomenon thing to anyone hostile to you? This question addresses the larger implications of your thesis. It allows your readers to comprehend your essay within a larger context. In answering "why", your essay explains its own significance. Although you might gesture at this origami paper boat video ask in your introduction, the fullest respond to it properly belongs at your essay's end. If you leave it out, your readers will experience your essay as unfinishedor, worse, as uselessness or insular.
