it is like the rim is rigged
Just doesn't look like it's gonna happen tonight.

The Bulls are just out hustling the pacers tonight. Inexcusable.
Need West to make some shots since no one else can.
So what?
We look bad.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Wow. Getting lots of good lucks but can't hit anything.
When West and Scola miss their mid range shots you know that it just isn't our night.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Just feed west, and maybe try playing some god damn defese
A complete no show in a statement game. This team isn't ready for squat.
Nazi with the travel. NO CALL.
Pacers got to commit to actually boxing out on this rebounds. So many blue jersey's watching the rebound.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
I don't feel great about Pacers' chances of winning, but this is one of those moments in PG24's career where he can either man up and turn on superstar mode to make this interesting, or back down and wilt in face of pressure.
Chicago's defense has been absolutely suffocating tonight.
You know this is a fluke when Mohamed looks like Shaq in the paint offensively.
Go join another forum if your just gonna trash our team. It won't be called trolling there!

Pacers need to go strong to the rim. Too much looking for the foul and not enough looking to finish strong.
You're right.
You know, I'd hate for your blood pressure to get out of control. Maybe, in the interest of your health, you should just stop watching. Pull out a book and have a relaxing evening.

What kind of cologne do you wear?
My girl has suggested that I try to find a nice smelling cologne for when we go out. I've never worn any before. I was at wal-mart of all places, I know that's not the place to pick some up but I was curious as to what they had. I felt really out of place standing there looking at all of the different kinds they had.

Topic: Update on my dad
Hi all, my dad is still with us. Last Thursday he took a downward turn and hasn't been out of bed since. He was in a responsive sleep state for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Sunday was the first day of no food or water. Yesterday he stopped all urine flow.
Several things I want to tell you. My sister and I mapped out three medications we have given to him around the clock without fail that have probably saved him and us a lot of upset and pain. As soon as congestion starts Hyomax is excellent. We are also giving him anxiety medication and liquid morphine. He is still wearing a patch but that comes of today and will not be restarted. I can't say enough about the congestion medication! It stopped all the alarming sounds and has made him super comfortable. Oh, and he can't sallow anymore so we crush his pills and give him a drop of water to help it go down. If you try to put the pill under his tongue it would just lay in his mouth because it has become very dry. We talk to him all the time and have gone over all the fun we had in the last few months. The banana splits he ate, car rides, etc. We also tell him it is okay if he is ready to let go. The nurse said yesterday one to three days. At first this was hard, but surrounding him with love and care has made it the way to go for us. I am so happy we kept him at home.

Depth in starting rotation a priority for Cashman
NEW YORK -- Starting-pitching depth remains at the top of Brian Cashman's shopping list as the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline approaches, the Yankees general manager said on Friday.
"Trying to acquire starting-pitching depth is important, period -- whether it's tomorrow or by the Deadline or even after the Deadline," Cashman said. "In the meantime, the people who are getting the ball are obviously going to try to make every opportunity while they have it."
The Yankees are missing 80 percent of their Opening Day rotation, with only Hiroki Kuroda remaining from a group that once included CC Sabathia, Ivan Nova, Michael Pineda and Masahiro Tanaka.
Cashman has shown willingness to make smaller upgrades when possible to this point; Brandon McCarthy was acquired from the D-backs in exchange for Vidal Nuno, and David Huff was added to the roster as an improvement over long reliever Alfredo Aceves.
In the meantime, the Yankees do feel urgency to reinforce a rotation currently comprised by David Phelps, McCarthy, Kuroda, Shane Greene and Chase Whitley.
"Some guys have really stepped up for us," Cashman said. "Can they maintain it? That's obviously the one question, and obviously we're more vulnerable because we can't afford any more injuries."
Cashman also noted that the organization will not pursue infielder Dan Uggla, who was granted his release on Friday by the Braves. The 34-year-old Uggla hit .162 with two home runs and 40 strikeouts in 145 plate appearances.
"I don't see where he'd fit, to be honest," Cashman said.

Sorry we've been busy with other things so we haven't got a chance to update the apps for quite a while. It turned the new Android versions don't work with some of our old code very well. It causes some serious freeze issues on most of our apps (ruler, level, protractor etc.) We found out what's going on and released a new versions for all those apps. As far as I can tell, all apps should work fine now on most of the phones. So sorry for the late updates.
There were a lot of complaints about the Advanced Tally Counter where the name of the counter is not showing. The root reason was discovered and a new update was posted for both the free and the paid version.
Advanced Protractor Pro
Last but not the least, we updated the Advanced Protractor Pro to include a neat feature – to help Photographer to find out what lens to bring for a particular location. Well, it sounds like nothing to do with a protractor when you first hear this. But here is how it works.
What lens to bring is a question that all photographers will ask themselves before going out for a photography trip. Sometimes it is a tough question. Bringing them all is an easy answer but not an easy decision for a strenuous hiking. This Advanced Protractor Pro will help you to scout the location beforehand and help you making the decision.
Last winter, I went to the famous Horseshoe Bend near Page, AZ. My first question, before I went there, was what kind of wide angle lens I would need in order to capture the whole bend and the side cliffs. I went to the Google Map for help. If I have a real protractor, I can put it on screen to find out the angle of the span, then use an online angle to focal length converter, I can figure out the lens focal length. But isn't our Advanced Protractor Pro is a better protractor? This triggers me to add this new feature.
First, you go to settings to change the display of the angle degree to focal length.
Next, long press and hold the multi-function round button so that you can see three green circles on the screen. Now press Menu – Toggle Camera to turn on the camera.
The next step is to use your computer to open the Google map to navigate to the place you are interested in. Use the app camera to take a picture of it. (Yes, we plan to release another app to show the Google map right in the phone but here is what you have to do with the app right now)
Now you can drag the handles on the screen. Put the center one at where you will stand when taking the photo. The other two handles at the widest angle that your photo will cover. In this case below, I will stand at the rim of the cliff to capture both walls. The focal length calculated by the app is about 18 mm (or 12mm if taking picture vertically). Note that this is the focal length for a full frame sensor in the landscape mode. If you have a crop sensor, you need to divide it by 1.5 or 1.6 whatever the crop ratio is. You also need to adjust it if you plan to capture in the portrait mode.
Is it for real? Yes of course. Here is a picture I took last Winter when I was there. As you can see from the EXIF information, I used 17-40 lens at 19 mm.
Here is another one. If you want to capture both the Half Dome and the two falls (Vernal fall and Nevada fall) from the Glacier Point, you would need about a 32mm lens or 21 if vertically. If the cloud is interesting, you probably will take the picture vertically thus a wide angle lens such as 17-40 or 14-24 is certainly required.
How about the Bellagio music fountain? To capture the whole fountain needs a really wide angle lens, probably a fish-eye. But a nice composition is to capture both the Bellagio and the Caesars Palace hotel buildings as background and use the fountain as foreground. The app tells me it is 19 mm.
I actually use a 17 TSE so that I can more room to crop and also be able to shift the lens to get rid of the distortion for the high buildings.
Obviously, I hijacked the Protractor Pro to squeeze in this extra feature. I only spent an hour or two to add it. It is clearly not enough. The next app we will do is to create an app for Photographer do something like it but it will do more. Please stay tune.

Types of Seizures
Seizures take many forms. Before your doctor can prescribe the right treatment, he or she must figure out which type (or types) you have. That's the purpose of all the tests discussed in the Diagnosis section—not just to tell whether you have epilepsy, but also to tell what kind.
Commonly Used Names for Seizure Types
Seizures are generally described in two major groups of seizures, primary generalized seizures and partial seizures. The difference between these types is in how and where they begin. A new way of naming seizures has been developed by epilepsy specialists, but most often these common names are still used.
Primary generalized seizures
Primary generalized seizures begin with a widespread electrical discharge that involves both sides of the brain at once. Hereditary factors are important in many of these seizures.
Partial seizures
Partial seizures begin with an electrical discharge in one limited area of the brain. Many different things can cause partial seizures, for example head injury, brain infection, stroke, tumor, or changes in the way an area of the brain was formed before birth (called cortical dysplasias). Many times, no known cause is found, but genetic factors may be important in some partial seizures.
Partial seizures can be broken down further, depending on whether a person's awareness or consciousness (the ability to respond and remember) is affected.

Dan, I'm coming from a position that says quantifiable thoughts should be subject to logical analysis, then accepted or rejected on that basis alone. I'm discounting emotional reactions. I'm arguing for a more structured, provable basis for our assertions. I don't see any conflict between this and the idea that we can come to an understanding of our experiences that is liberating, but I do have reservations about broad-based claims about, for instance, the is-ness of reality.
Don't mean to be cruel and cold hearted here. But my experience is that emotion is far overvalued, while rationality is often left to sit alone in the corner. I'm trying to correct that imbalance.

Yankees shut out Angels; A-Rod homers
The Yankees' woeful start to the season became even more of a memory Friday when they won their fourth straight game, beating the Angels 5-0 in their home opener in The Bronx. And after shaky starts to the new year, both Hiroki Kuroda and Alex Rodriguez produced, while Nick Swisher delivered the key hit for a second consecutive game. Swisher, who hit a game-winning homer in the 10th inning in Baltimore Wednesday, belted a two-out, three-run double in the first to put the Yankees up 3-0 Friday. Read More: New York Post

Admission is $12 adults, $10 seniors and $7 for children if bought in advance; day-of tickets are $5 more. Tickets can be purchased at 510-238-3052 or www.dunsmuir-hellman.com.
Castro Valley students audit trash
A team of five students and a teacher at A Shepherd's Heart Christian School in Castro Valley sorted through a day's worth of trash earlier this month to see what could have been composted or recycled.
The students found that of the 41 gallons of garbage, only 27 percent was actual trash and 73 percent could have been diverted.
The school is recycling or composting 11 percent more than it did last year. Shepherd's Heart installed recycling and organic bins in classrooms, the kitchen and bathrooms last year after finding that only 16 percent of what was being tossed in the trash was garbage, and 84 percent could have been recycled or composted.
The audits are part of Castro Valley Sanitary District's Green Ribbon Schools Program.
Fundraiser planned for Union City schools
A casino night has been scheduled early next year to raise money for the New Haven Unified School District.
The event's Mississippi-riverboat theme is titled "Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler," a French saying that is popular in New Orleans and means, "Let the good times roll."
The New Haven Boosters Association and the New Haven Schools Foundation, nonprofit groups that raise money for Union City schools, are hosting the fundraiser scheduled for Feb. 2.
Admission will cost $100 per ticket. Proceeds will go toward the nonprofit groups' goal of raising $100,000 this year to help pay for co-curricular and extracurricular school activities.
Those attending will be given 1,000 casino chips with which to play blackjack, roulette and a Texas Hold 'Em poker tournament. Attendees also can enjoy a buffet dinner of gourmet Southern food and beverages, including an espresso cart.
The event is scheduled from 5:30 p.m. to midnight at the Southern Alameda County Buddhist Church, at 32975 Alvarado-Niles Road in Union City.

YOUNG-at-heart Gary Savory's final words were to wish his little girl a happy birthday, less than two months after he walked her down the aisle.
The 53-year-old lost his battle with stomach cancer on March 1, the day after his only daughter Hayley's 30th birthday.
The mum-of-four from Penhill said: "I have lots of lovely memories of him, and it hasn't really sunk in yet that they are just memories. I just hope they are enough.
"It was my 30th birthday the day before and I was staying with my mum that night because we were told that he didn't have long and I got a call from my partner asking me to come home and look after the kids because they weren't very well. So I came home and he was gone within the hour.
"I think things happen for a reason – it meant that mum and dad were on their own and had that time together.
"The last thing he said was 'happy birthday Lou, I love you', and that was the last thing he said. "I think he held on to be at my birthday and then he didn't want to go on my birthday, so he passed the day after."
Gary was well-known around the town for his humour and his sense of fun.
Hayley said: "He was a cool dad. He was one of those dads who still think they are 18.
"He was quite well known, and when I last looked there were 600 reviews on the deaths page of the Adver."
Gary was diagnosed less than six months ago with the terminal disease which finally took his life.
When he quickly began to deteriorate in November last year, Hayley decided it was time to tie the knot with partner of seven years Will Tsang, so that her dad could give her away.
She only gave herself four weeks to organise everything for the big day, and had only planned for a simple civil service ceremony, but after her friend posted a message on Facebook hundreds of people around Swindon rallied together to make her wedding extra special.
She said: "Like most little girls I always wanted my dad to give me away at my wedding.
"I had been with my partner for a few years and we always thought we would get married, but we would do it later.
"Originally it was going to be a surprise and I was going to tell my Dad the night before, but my friend put on Facebook my whole story and said she really wanted me to have the party and the big wedding.
"I had over 200 people messaging me with all sorts of help.
"I just want to say a big thank you to all those people who helped me to make those memories."
The funeral will take place on Thursday at Kingsdown Crematorium. The family request no flowers but donations to Prospect Hospice.

Man screw their free throw shooters. So unlikely.
Portland + refs are unbeatable
Take those 4 Aldridge fts that shoukdnt have been and we probably win

PG gave the Pacers the chance to get back. Too bad it wasn't enough to overcome the lead.
Portland is a great team though, so despite the FT disparity we gotta give it to them for a nice game.
Paul did everything he possibly could.
I hate losing but that was scary how well Paul was scoring
Not my takeaway. Just food for thought. Getting the calls matters in the NBA playoffs. Game 3 last year is a great example.
Before Paul George tried to win the game single handedly, he played too much one on one. There was no ball movement and too much dribbling. Both of Aldridge drives were clearly offensive fouls (he puts that knee forward just to keep Roy away)
ANDY: I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy winning or get busy losing.
That's not anything the players can control.
See, in these types of games we need Danny. I liked our effort, and George's hero ball kept us in the game, but it just wasn't enough.
"Josh Smith Re-building the city of Detroit one brick at a time"Originally Posted by Piston Prince
PGeesus with a crazy effort at the end. I'm pleased overall, very entertaining, but Aldridge and Mo Williams were a bit too much.. And not getting that bump on the 3 didn't help. But not a bad officiating job imo. Great game
Sucks to lose but nothing to be embarrassed about losing this one. PG... 43 points... wow....
Real deal...
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

Since it became the prompt contract at the close of trading on January 31, the Nymex futures contract for March delivery of RBOB (the petroleum component of gasoline) in New York Harbor has increased 19 cents per gallon (cpg), reaching $2.82/gal on February 19 (Figure 1). Despite the recent price rise, the gasoline market remains well-supplied as the spring refinery maintenance season approaches.
Inventory trends are a handy measure to roughly gauge supply/demand dynamics in a given market. One explanation for the recent price rise is that gasoline inventories have fallen in recent weeks at a time when they typically build. After reaching 235.3 million barrels (bbl) on January 17, total U.S. gasoline inventories fell 2.2 million bbl to 233.1 million bbl on February 7; typically over this period, inventories build 3.8 million bbl (Figure 2).
However, inventories increased slightly the during the week ending February 14, and even considering the recent draws, inventories remain above five-year average levels and modestly above levels at this time of year during the past two years. Gasoline inventories typically build gradually from early November and peak in early February. This year, inventories rose over a shorter period, but the builds were very pronounced. A period of particularly strong builds occurred from mid-December to mid-January when gasoline inventories increased 15.4 million bbl, 4.6 million bbl (43%) more than typical over this period. At their January 17 peak, total U.S. gasoline inventories were 8.2 million bbl above the five-year average, so even after recent draws inventories still stood 2.7 million bbl above the five-year average on February 14. Inventories can provide a key source of supply during refinery turnaround season, which typically runs from roughly January to April, but can vary regionally.
High refinery runs have helped keep inventories above their five-year average for every week since March 2013. For the four weeks ending February 14, gross inputs into U.S. refineries averaged 15.5 million bbl/d, 1.0 million bbl/d more than the five-year average, and about 0.9 million bbl/d more than last year at this time. With refinery runs high, gasoline production has been rising. During the first 11 months of 2013, gasoline production averaged 7.8 million bbl/d, 230,000 bbl/d more than the five-year average. Most of this incremental production has been on the Gulf Coast, where strong margins and a modestly lighter crude slate, which includes increasing amounts of Eagle Ford and Permian Basin crude, have helped increase gasoline supplies. With refinery inputs continuing to exceed typical historical levels in EIA's recent weekly data, it is likely gasoline production has remained high in the first months of 2014. However, not all regions have seen gasoline production grow. Production at East Coast refineries was 100,000 bbl/d below the five-year average through November 2013, because of reduced refining capacity. As of January 1, 2013 (the most recent date for which refinery capacity is available), operating refinery capacity on the East Coast was 400,000 bbl/d lower than it was at the start of 2008.
Gasoline inventory levels are high in all Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (PADDs), with the exception of PADD 2 (Midwest). In the Midwest, gasoline inventories are below five-year average levels. Midwest gasoline inventories were 0.7 million bbl above the five-year average level on January 10, dropped to 1.8 million below on January 31, and built during past two weeks but are still 1.3 million bbl below the average level. Trade press reports indicate that Midwest refiners were hit hard by cold weather in mid-January, leading to brief periods of reduced refinery runs. PADD 2 gross refinery inputs fell from 3.6 million bbl/d during the final full week of December to 3.3 million bbl/d for the week ending January 17, before rebounding above late-December levels in recent weeks.
With refinery turnaround season approaching, EIA projects that reduced gasoline production will lead to additional inventory draws. However, inventories are expected to remain above five-year average levels. In the February Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), EIA projects total U.S. gasoline inventories to fall from current levels of 233.1 million bbl to 215.2 million bbl in May, which would still be about 3.7 million bbl above typical levels. As a result of tightening supplies, STEO projects the U.S. average retail price for regular gasoline to increase to an average of $3.59/gal in June, up from $3.38/gal on February 17. EIA projects significant regional variation in peak retail prices, with the highest prices expected on the West Coast at a June average of $3.88 /gal, and the lowest prices expected on the Gulf Coast at $3.42/gal.
Gasoline and diesel fuel prices increase again
The U.S. average retail price of regular gasoline increased seven cents to $3.38 per gallon as of February 17, 2014, 37 cents lower than last year at this time. Prices increased in all regions of the nation, with the Rocky Mountain price increasing the most to $3.24 per gallon, 10 cents higher than last week. The Gulf Coast price gained nine cents to $3.18 per gallon and the Midwest price was up eight cents to $3.36 per gallon. The East and West Coast prices increased six cents, to $3.41 per gallon and $3.57 per gallon, respectively.
The national average diesel fuel price was up one cent to $3.99 per gallon, 17 cents lower than last year at this time. Prices increased in all regions of the nation except the Gulf Coast, where the price dropped a penny to $3.78 per gallon. The largest increase was in the Rocky Mountains, where the price gained four cents to $3.91 per gallon. The Midwest price was $3.99 per gallon, up two cents from last week, and the East Coast price increased a penny to $4.13 per gallon. The West Coast price was up less than one cent to remain at $4.00 per gallon.

What are you doing with the corn and soybeans you harvest? Are you selling as they are harvested, concerned about a long, slow price decline typical of a short crop? Or are you storing them, hoping for the market to continue climbing as end users bid higher to acquire inventory?
For those of you who are storing, and storing on your farm, you must ensure that you are going to keep it in good condition because the crop is valuable, and you may not have much of it. Here's how...
Preparing a grain bin and its associated conditioning equipment is best achieved with a checklist. Make sure you have several pieces of paper and several sharp pencils, along with some time to properly take care of the task.
Ag and Natural Resources Specialist Curtis Young of Ohio State University, offers an extensive list of items that will need attention as you prepare to store the new crop and preserve its quality, and says the key to success is sanitation. Remember, quality cannot improve in storage, but certainly can deteriorate, so ensure that you are not contributing to the latter.
Cleaning and facility preparation:
- Starting with thorough cleaning of every piece of equipment through which or in which grain will be passed or hauled.
- Remove all traces of old grain from combines, combine heads, truck beds, grain carts, augers, lift buckets, grain pits, grain driers, bins and any other equipment used for harvesting, transporting, and handling grain.
- Even small amounts of moldy and/or insect-infested grain left in equipment can contaminate a bin of new grain.
- Since grain is usually in contact with grain bins for the greatest length of time, extra attention should be paid to the sanitation of these structures.
- Remove any grain or grain dust from inside the bins by sweeping or vacuuming empty bins and brushing down walls.
- Pay close attention to cracks and crevices, ledges over doors, and hollow tube ladder rungs on or in which grain could have been trapped from the previous storage seasons.
- Fans, aeration ducts, exhausts, and when possible, beneath slotted floors should be cleared of debris as well.
- Dispose of all debris in a lawful manner and away from the storage facility. Sanitation outside of bins is as important as inside of the bins.
- Ideally there should be no vegetation (weeds, shrubs, etc.) growing up against the outside of the bin. Grain pests (insects and rodents) can be harbored in the vegetation.
- Bare ground covered with gravel or cement is preferred, but short-mown grass is tolerable.
- Remove any spilled grain from around the outside of the bin and storage facility.
- Once storage structures have been thoroughly cleaned, carefully inspect them for signs of deterioration, especially for leaks and holes through which insects, birds or rodents can gain easy access to the stored grain or rain and snow can drip or blow in onto the grain to produce wet spots that can lead to mold growth.
Conditioning equipment:
- While inspecting for physical problems, one should also test aeration fans and driers for functionality.
- Check belts, bearings and gear boxes for wear and proper lubrication.
- Check electrical systems for corroded connections and frayed wiring before harvest.
- Mice like to nest inside electrical boxes where they are safe from predators. They will strip insulation from wires for nesting material and their urine causes corrosion.
- While inspecting control boxes, be sure to seal any openings through which mice could get in.
- Be sure that guards and safety shields are in place over belts, chains and intakes.
- Seal all leaks and make repairs to the equipment before you need them to manage the grain.
Insect control:
- Once all cleaning and repairs have been completed, an empty-bin application of an appropriately labeled insecticide is advisable, especially in bins with difficult to clean areas and/or in bins with a history of insect problems.
- For empty-bin insecticide treatments that are applied as a liquid, allow a minimum of 24 hours for the sprays to dry before loading grain into the bin.
- It is preferable to have empty-bin treatments applied at least two weeks prior to harvest.
- Registered empty-bin insecticides include: Tempo Ultra SC (cyfluthrin), Storcide II (chlorpyrifos methyl plus deltamethrin), Suspend SC (deltamethrin), Diacon-D and Diacon II (s-methoprene = an insect growth regulator), and several pyrethrin products can be used to apply a surface treatment to the inside of the bin and provide a residual protection.
- Other products that contain diatomaceous earth and/or silicon dioxide such as Insecto, Protect-It, Perma-Guard and others may be utilized. Refer to the individual product labels for lists of insects controlled and application directions.
- If a bin is known to be heavily infested with insects, an empty-bin fumigation may be required to knock down insect populations before applying one of the above insecticides.
- The most readily available product for this purpose is phosphine gas producing materials such as aluminum phosphide and magnesium phosphide sold under a wide variety of trade names. Phosphine is an extremely toxic material and fumigations should be conducted by trained, experienced, licensed applicators.
- Another measure one might take to reduce the chance of insect infestation is to apply a perimeter spray around the base and up the outside walls of the bin about 15 feet. This may only be necessary in areas where grain infesting insect movement has been observed on the outsides of the storage bins.
- There are several synthetic pyrethroids (cyfluthrin, deltamethrin, permethrin, resmethrin, etc.) that can be used for this purpose as long as they do not come in contact with the grain.
- Grain storage insecticide labels tend to change frequently. As always, check to make sure you are following the instructions on the product label and using the appropriate product for your situation.
Grain quality preservation:
- One also needs to be sure that the end-user of the stored grain does not have restrictions on insecticide uses on or around the grains that they are going to purchase. If growing specialty grains, check with your buyers before using insecticides.
- A few more words of caution include, new grain should NEVER be stored on top of grain from a previous season's harvest; remove old grain and clean bins before adding new grain.
- Grains broken in the harvesting and/or handling process become more susceptible to infestation by insects and mold. Thus, adjust combines according to the manufacturer's specifications to minimize grain damage and to maximize removal of fines and other foreign material, move grains as little as possible, and limit the number of times and heights from which grains are dropped to reduce breakage.
Grain engulfment prevention:
- Last but not least, review your safety procedures for working with flowing grain, grain harvesting and handling equipment, and personal protection.
- Anyone who works around the bins and grain handling equipment should know where to find shut-off switches, fire extinguishers, and emergency phone numbers.
- Being prepared for harvest will reduce the risk of accidents, and knowing how to react in an emergency can save lives.
Your 2012 crop may be small, but valuable and its quality needs to be protected if it is being stored. The bin should be cleaned, and an insecticide treatment applied if needed. Aeration and conditioning equipment should be checked and maintained, and the grain being stored should be regularly monitored for quality, but in doing so, no one should be in danger of entrapment.

Syngenta announced it has received federal registration for Vibrance seed treatment fungicide for more than 30 additional crops, including corn.
Vibrance contains sedaxane, which is from the SDHI class of fungicides and is the company's first active ingredient developed specifically for use as a seed treatment. The revolutionary chemistry unlocks the power of root health by providing ideal soil mobility and enhancing biotic/abiotic stress management. This RootingPower results in stronger, healthier roots, which help build a powerful foundation for robust yield.
In field corn, Vibrance will be sold in combination with the market-leading Maxim Quattro seed treatment fungicide. Maxim Quattro currently combines the active ingredients mefenoxam, fludioxonil, azoxystrobin and thiabendazole. With the addition of sedaxane, the Vibrance/Maxim Quattro combination will provide best-in-class Rhizoctonia activity.
"Vibrance demonstrates the continued commitment to seed treatment innovation at Syngenta," said David Winston, Seedcare product lead. "This addition to our diverse portfolio further strengthens our ability to protect seeds and seedlings against disease, which otherwise may impact yield potential negatively."
In addition to field corn, Vibrance received EPA approval for sweet corn, popcorn and forage corn, as well as sorghum and dry beans. The EPA previously approved Vibrance for use on cereals, soybeans and canola. It is already available as part of the following solutions: Avicta Complete Beans applied with Vibrance, and CruiserMaxx Beans applied with Vibrance in soybeans, CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals and Vibrance Extreme in cereals, and Helix Xtra applied with Vibrance in canola.

Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength Shampoo Reviews
Try their regular shampoo first....My husband usually uses Head and Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo, but he tried the whole bottle of this H&S intensive treatment shampoo recently. He concludes that he did not feel and see any significant difference from his regular H&S Classic Clean Shampoo. In other words, both helped to eliminate dandruff. Nevertheless, this shampoo dried out his hair a little more, and as for the scent,...read more he prefer the regular one. Since none of us suffers from severe dandruff, I cannot judge whether this shampoo is more effective against severe dandruff than regular Head and Shoulders. However, for my husband's mild to moderate dandruff problem, the regular H & S Classic Clean Shampoo is good enough. BTW, my husband strongly recommend to use one of H&S conditioners for a better result. — 7 years, 9 months agoluckybetty | 895 reviews

It really stops the itchI've been usuing this shampoo for a week, I was previously using the regular Head and Shoulders 2 in 1. I like this one much better. The regular H&S shampoo did prevent dandruff for the most part, but my scalp was still always itchy and my hair looked and felt dry. This shampoo finally relieved the itch as well as preventing dandruff and leaves my hair soft and silky, I do use a seperate conid...read moretioner afterwards but I haven't changed that.

I Like Head & Shoulders...But this stuff is incredibly drying, due to how potent it is. I would highly suggest trying other products in their line first, unless you're certain you need something with extra strength. While it did work well to eliminate dandruff initially, regular use actually made my dandruff worse and my hair oilier (I have a dry scalp with oily hair, and I believe that this product was so drying it caused my body to go into overdrive and produce even more oil). Not for me. — 2 years, 2 months agoSomeGeekyGirl | 116 reviews
Review subjectI have tried this along with every other shampoo, even prescription shampoos, and NOTHING works. I have had an itchy, flaky scalp for over ten years and nothing helps. I try not to scratch, but I wake myself up at night from scratching in my sleep until it bleeds. My left ear is also very itchy and dry. I am at my wits end. I saw these reviews and thought there might be SOMEONE who can suggest a miracle cure. I need help, please! — 3 years, 8 months agoDebbiM | 1 reviews

Topic: embolization before resection
Hi all:
My surgeon has suggested I have an embolization before the resection. The tumor is stable and finally operable. Since the tumor is stable, he suggests we "grow" the right side of the liver by blocking off the vein/artery (I always get them wrong) that branches off to the left side of the liver. That would cause the right side to do all the work BEFORE surgery. And cause it to grow. I don't know how long before resection will happen: I guess it depends on how long it takes my liver to respond. And the stability of the tumor.
The tumor is in the very very top of 1, 4a and 8. But it started in a bile duct and had a thin tail that meandered thru 2 at the start of all this. The little bit in the bile duct can't be seen anymore.
The resection will take out 1, 2, 3, 4a, 4b and parts of 5 and 8. Which leaves me with just 6, 7 and parts of 5 & 8 when the resection is done. So "growing" the right side makes sense to me.
I looked thru many of the titles in this section and didn't see any postings like this. Has anyone on this site had this procedure before resection? Was it successful? And did the liver react fairly quickly? I realize that anyone else's outcome won't necessarily be the same as mine, but I was just wondering.
I'm a little nervous about doing anything because I feel healthy and the tumor is stable. But I'm also nervous about the tumor starting to grow and thus make it inoperable again.
"Don't just have minutes in the day; have moments in time."
Any opinions I give are based on personal experiences, and are not based on medical knowledge. I strongly suggest receiving medical care and opinions.

About Sunoikisis
The large and diverse national faculty within Sunoikisis permits us to broaden and deepen our Classics curriculum, both in literature and in archaeology.
The curricular elements of Sunoikisis expose our students to a wider range of subject material and faculty than would be possible otherwise. Indeed, the president of an elite northeastern college commented in October 2004 that the Sunoikisis program surpasses programs offered by large institutions in that the collaborative nature unusually enriches it in terms of content and methodological approach. The program, by providing a range and quality of opportunities for majors, prepares students who choose to continue their training in graduate school to compete with graduates from the leading research universities in the country.
The cycle of Sunoikisis inter-institutional, team-taught literature courses, in which students and faculty throughout the country participate, make creative use of technology to connect institutions. The class sessions are synchronous, and student attendance and participation are required. These sessions enable students to be exposed to a range of experts in the field. In addition, students engage in asynchronous discussion with one another outside of "class" time. Finally, students on each campus meet separately with their own professor, to go over textual and other issues.
Sunoikisis faculty gather each June to engage in seminars to develop these courses.
Sunoikisis students may participate in the annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. This symposium provides our students the opportunity to present their advanced research at a national professional meeting and to interact with their peers and faculty.
Skills required to successfully negotiate the synchronous and asynchronous sessions have a direct application to various careers outside of Classics, for example in business, medicine, law. As our global environment becomes more and more the norm, effective workers must be able to function within multi-layered virtual offices. A recent Latin major at Southwestern, now an accountant with a leading firm, reports that skills learned during Sunoikisis courses placed him well ahead of his contemporaries in terms of abilities to work with colleagues located in remote offices.
Southwestern's engagement in Sunoikisis is yielding new collaborative and interdisciplinary paradigms essential for liberal arts learning in the 21st century.
History of Sunoikisis
With generous funding provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Sunoikisis began in 1995 as a program of the Associated Colleges of the South (ACS). Southwestern University was a founding member. The ACS Technology Center, established in 1999 at Southwestern University, provided the administrative infrastructure. Later, under NITLE, the program became national. Since the summer of 2009, the Center for Hellenic Studies has provided administrative, logistical, and financial support.
1999 marked the first season of Sunoikisis student and faculty participation in an excavation in southwestern Turkey. In the fall of 2000, Sunoikisis began offering inter-institutional literature courses, with some 25 students enrolled in "The Literature of the Early Empire." The following year Sunoikisis phased in Greek literature, beginning with Greek Lyric Poetry. In 2003, Sunoikisis initiated its annual Undergraduate Research Symposium.

THE SECRET STATE Premieres 'The Biggest Mistake' Music Video
THE SECRET STATE has arrived and is exploding onto the music scene with their new hit single, "The Biggest Mistake." The official video for the song has become a viral sensation with over 34 million views in just over two months: http://youtu.be/DEY_zh0Cxh8. The track, an infectious, propulsive and soaring pop/rock song, is receiving national airplay on over 30 Top 40 and Hot AC stations as well as significant support from Sirius XM's 20 on 20 (Channel 3), where it currently sits at #13 on their playlist.
"There are many issues that can come up in a relationship and one unfortunate problem is where one partner leaves another during their hardest struggle in life," the band explains. "'The Biggest Mistake' is inspired by a situation where the girl leaves the guy during his time of struggle to become somebody. When he finally becomes successful and reaches his goal, she wants to come back into his life. This song is telling the girl that she won't be taken back and she was the one who made 'The Biggest Mistake.'"
The Baltimore natives recently relocated to Los Angeles to write and record their debut full-length album for release in early 2013. In anticipation of the album release, THE SECRET STATE has announced that a very special rhythm radio remix of "The Biggest Mistake" will be released soon and will feature vocal cameos from two worldwide pop/hip hop superstars. Information on the remix will be unveiled soon.
THE SECRET STATE--Dan Martiniano (Lead Vocals, Piano), Josh Jones (Guitar, Vocals), Hunter Schafer (Bass, Backup Vocals), Danny Espinosa (Digital Performer) and Mike Marx-Gibbons (Drums & Violin)--almost ended before they began. Following the events of 9/11, three of the band members (Dan, Josh and Mike) decided to place their music careers on hold to serve their country and were deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq as part of the U.S. Army and Special Ops. Upon returning home, the band immediately began working on new music and the result is a unique rock, electronic-tinged sound paired with heartfelt lyrics.
As Martiniano explained to M.U.S.E. (Music Unity Sports Entertainment) on the set of "The Biggest Mistake" video shoot, "Honestly, we're lucky to be here. We're lucky to play the music that we play and have people follow us. We care about our fans; we want to give them good music, so we feel like we're in a great direction right now."
THE SECRET STATE recently performed a radio tour throughout the South hitting various markets in Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee. Dubbed the "Turkey Tour," the band performed for several TV and radio stations and gave away gift cards for groceries and gas, along with pre-cooked turkeys and Thanksgiving turkey dinner certificates, to callers and contest winners on-air in each city. "We were fortunate to have the chance to go out and perform for our fans at the beginning of this holiday season and were extremely excited to give back to the listening community with the turkey dinners, gift certificates and gas cards," shares the band. "We hope everybody enjoyed them and we appreciate the support of all the music fans out there."
As a result of the radio tour, THE SECRET STATE have been invited by KVLY 107.9FM in McAllen, TX to perform at their annual holiday show. As Alex Duran, program director for the station noted, "THE SECRET STATE came in to my town with a few fans and after their performance LIVE in-studio, they left with tens of thousands now. So that is why I added them on my Christmas show on December 17 and my sales went to another level." THE SECRET STATE join a previously announced lineup featuring Flo Rida, Daddy Yankee, Andy Grammer, Chris Wallace and The Ready Set. MIXMAS 2012 takes place on Monday, December 17 at State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, TX; doors open at 6:00pm.
THE SECRET STATE, previously known as Alice Anna, has performed alongside national acts such as Hinder, Jack's Mannequin, Tantric, Shinedown and many more. After winning countless "Battle of the Band" competitions and playing night after night at bars, festivals and concert venues, the group earned a reputation for their unrivaled music and energetic performances which led them to perform three consecutive years at the famed South By Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, TX and gain national critical acclaim. The band has also earned fans in Akon, Ray J and Nicole Scherzinger.
The quintet's previous single and music video "Say It's Over" has been viewed over 14 million times: http://youtu.be/yEtrOmBJxEQ. Their YouTube videos have amassed over 50 million views in total. The momentum is only sure to be build once the band releases their debut album.

MOOCs Could Help 2-Year Colleges and Their Students, Says Bill Gates
Community colleges have generally cast a wary eye toward massive open online courses, or MOOCs. But a relatively new model, which "flips" homework and classwork by incorporating outsourced lectures, could help struggling students and make colleges more efficient, Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder and co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, told a packed gathering of community-college leaders here on Wednesday.
Mr. Gates urged them to provide resources to instructors who wanted to experiment with flipped classrooms and other techniques for integrating technology into their teaching.
"I'd be the first to say this is a period of experimentation, but we'll learn much faster if people jump in and engage," he told attendees at the Association of Community College Trustees' leadership meeting, which drew nearly 2,000 trustees, presidents, and administrators here this week.
Mr. Gates, one of the world's most famous people to not complete college, urged everyone in the audience to sign up for at least one MOOC. He has done so many times. "For a dropout, I've taken a lot of courses," he said.
The flipped MOOC is a variation of the flipped-classroom concept, in which instructors assign videotaped lectures to students, who then do what once was considered homework in class.
As MOOC lectures evolve, the average classroom professor will have a hard time competing, and the traditional lecture will seem antiquated, Mr. Gates suggested. "The quality of those lectures, as they go through the competitive process, will be extremely good," he said. "No individual performance is likely to come up to that level."
Remedial Students Benefit
Mr. Gates acknowledged that many faculty members felt threatened by suggestions that their lectures could be outsourced to professors at elite institutions, which currently produce much of the MOOC content available.
"Of course it's quite controversial, what software can take over, but once you get a great pool of lectures out there that incorporate problem solving and drill practice, this frees up time" for more-personalized instruction in the classroom, Mr. Gates said.
With more work done at home and online, students could spend less time on campuses, freeing up classroom space to accommodate more students, he said. That approach works well, he added, with remedial mathematics, where only about 10 percent of students who start courses end up getting two-year degrees within three years.
Computer systems can generate an infinite number of worksheets with embedded quizzes, as well as with tips that instructors could then review to determine what students are struggling with, he said. In online lectures, questions pop up every three to five minutes, to keep students alert and to make sure they are ready to move on to the next section.
They can work at their own pace, focusing on specific topics rather than having to move in lock step through a remedial-math sequence with students who might be having trouble with other parts.
Many of the projects Mr. Gates described have received financing from the Gates Foundation, which has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into efforts to increase college-completion rates.
Community-college trustees, many of whom said they were unfamiliar with MOOCs before the meeting, also heard from leaders of Coursera and edX, two of the best-known MOOC providers.
Daphne Koller, a co-founder of Coursera, said students could spend less time on the campus if they were enrolled in courses that incorporated free online content. That would help completion efforts in states like California, where students are struggling to get into the classes they need to graduate.
Failure rates have dropped in the flipped classes that edX has piloted at colleges, Rebecca Petersen, director of research at edX, told the group.
Shanna Smith Jaggars, assistant director of the Community College Research Center at Columbia University's Teachers College, said the center's studies had shown that poor and minority students struggle in online courses but that a flipped MOOC model held promise, even for remedial courses.

There could be at least four wallabies wandering around the county according to the Wiltshire Wallaby Facebook page as the hunt missing Wanda continues.
Wanda was last spotted in a bean field next to the Ramsbury Brewery and has travelled to a number of destinations including Aldbourne, Wilcot and Axford since she escaped from her paddock in Mildenhall near Marlborough on July 2.
Sergeant Clare Wallace from Marlborough Neighbourhood Police Team said: "We've had a few sightings reported to us and we're in contact with several of the people involved with The Wiltshire Wallaby Watch Facebook page."
Posters have been created for people to put up around their towns and villages to help find Wanda and can be downloaded from the Facebook page.
Phil Brady, who has set up the page said: "We have almost 400 members so far and everyone's on the lookout.
"We have designed posters to put up around the villages and local businesses, Wessex Print and Cat Communications have printed and laminated them for us.
"We have organised a community link up and we now have volunteers from all over the county helping us distribute them in the area. We are targeting shops, pubs, cafes and we are also pinning them to posts throughout the region."

Edema (also known as dropsy or fluid retention) is swelling caused by the accumulation of abnormally large amounts of fluid in the spaces between the body's cells or in the circulatory system. It is most common in feet, ankles, and legs. It can also affect the face and hands. Pregnant women and older adults often get edema, but it can happen to anyone. Edema is a symptom, not a disease or disorder. Widespread, long-term edema can indicate a serious underlying health problem.
These will vary and may include the following:
Some of the following factors may cause edema:
Your health care provider will look for varicose veins, blood clots, wounds, or infections. An x-ray, CT scan, MRI, urine test, or blood test may be necessary. Pulmonary edema, which occurs when fluid builds up in the lungs, can be caused by other diseases such as cardiovascular disease or by climbing at high altitudes. It can be life threatening and may require hospitalization.
Treatment may involve using compression bandages and pressure sleeves tightened over swollen limbs to help force the body to reabsorb the fluid. Other options include a salt reduction diet, daily exercise, resting with legs elevated above the heart level, wearing support hose, taking a diuretic, and massage.
Surgery may be needed to remove fat and fluid deposits associated with a type of edema called lipedema, or to repair damaged veins or lymphatic glands to reestablish lymph and blood flow.
The following nutritional and herbal support guidelines may help relieve edema, but the underlying cause must be addressed. Tell your health care provider about any complementary or alternative therapies you are considering.
Following these nutritional tips may help reduce symptoms:
You may address nutritional deficiencies with the following supplements:
Herbs are generally a safe way to strengthen and tone the body's systems although they can interact with many medications and have certain side effects. As with any therapy, you should work with your doctor to determine the best and safest herbal therapies for your case before starting any treatment, and always tell your health care provider about any herbs you may be taking. If you are pregnant or nursing, do not use herbs except under the supervision of a health care provider knowledgeable in herbal therapies. You may use herbs as dried extracts (capsules, powders, teas), glycerites (glycerine extracts), or tinctures (alcohol extracts). Unless otherwise indicated, make teas with 1 tsp. herb per cup of hot water. Steep covered 5 - 10 minutes for leaf or flowers, and 10 - 20 minutes for roots. Drink 2 - 4 cups per day. You may use tinctures alone or in combination as noted.
Acupuncture may improve fluid balance.
Therapeutic massage can help lymph nodes drain.
Excessive fluid retention during pregnancy (toxemia) is potentially dangerous to both you and your baby.

ASCO Annual Meeting
June 2, 2014
Results from a large clinical study show that treatment with ipilimumab (Yervoy) decreases the risk of melanoma coming back after surgery by roughly 25% for people diagnosed with high-risk stage III disease. However, this treatment causes serious side effects.
Nine hundred fifty-one (951) people who had already had surgery to treat stage III melanoma volunteered to participate in this study. They were considered to be at high risk for the cancer coming back (recurrence) because the cancer had spread to the lymph nodes. The volunteers were randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group received ipilimumab, a drug that works by taking the brakes off the immune system to destroy cancer cells. The other group received an inactive treatment called a placebo.
Nearly three years after treatment, the researchers found that ipilimumab therapy greatly reduced the risk of melanoma recurrence. During this time, there were 234 recurrences reported in the ipilimumab group compared with 294 recurrences in the placebo group. This means that 47% of people who received ipilimumab remained melanoma-free after three years compared with 35% of people who received the placebo. Overall, ipilimumab reduced the risk of recurrence by 25% compared with placebo.
Despite its effectiveness, treatment with ipilimumab often caused serious side effects. More than half (52%) of people in the ipilimumab group stopped treatment because of side effects, most within the first 12 to 16 weeks. These side effects included rash and inflammation of the colon (colitis), thyroid, and pituitary gland. There were also five treatment-related deaths reported during this study. However, most of these side effects can be prevented and managed by watching closely for symptoms before they become more serious. Still, more research is needed to better understand whether the benefits outweigh the risks associated with this treatment.
What this means for patients
"This is a promising treatment—we saw substantially fewer recurrences among patients who are at high risk of relapse," said lead study author Professor Alexander Eggermont, MD, PhD, Director General of the Gustave Roussy Cancer Campus Grand Paris in France. "We've seen many impressive new treatments for advanced melanoma in recent years. This trial with ipilimumab is the first to show we may be able to give these new drugs earlier in the course of disease, where it can do more good and potentially cure more patients."
Ipilimumab is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of stage IV melanoma, as well as stage III melanoma that cannot be removed with surgery. However, it is not currently approved to reduce the risk of recurrence after surgery. Talk with your doctor about all of your treatment options, including clinical trials.
Questions to ask your doctor
- What stage of melanoma do I have?
- What are my treatment options?
- Can the melanoma be removed using surgery?
- Will I need to have additional treatment after surgery? Why or why not?
- Will immunotherapy be part of my treatment plan?
- What are the possible side effects of each treatment option, both in the short term and the long term? How can they be managed?
- Is the cancer likely to come back after treatment?
