Rodriguez finds solution to mechanics problem
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Paco Rodriguez and the Dodgers' staff believe they've found a mechanical flaw that might explain his late-season tailspin last year.
After throwing a 1-2-3 inning Saturday night, the left-hander said the flaw, noticed when he breaks his hands at the start of his motion, grew progressively worse last year.
He said pitching coaches Rick Honeycutt, Ken Howell and Chuck Crim found the flaw and the fix.
"Once I figured it out, it was like, 'Wow, that's how it feels,'" said Rodriguez. "I was pitching so well, but my arm slowly came up and it took away from my ability to hide the ball. It's like night and day. I have a lot more control of my pitches."
Rodriguez said the fix was put in while playing catch Friday and he felt the difference immediately when he took it into Saturday night's game. He looked at old video and it confirmed to him he could get back to being the pitcher he was for most of last season.
"No doubt," he said. "I was showing the ball more than I normally do. Just one outing and it feels better."

- Nanolesions induced by heavy ions in human tissues: experimental and theoretical studies (2012)
- The biological effects of energetic heavy ions are attracting increasing interest for their applications in cancer therapy and protection against space radiation. The cascade of events leading to cell death or late effects starts from stochastic energy deposition on the nanometer scale and the corresponding lesions in biological molecules, primarily DNA. We have developed experimental techniques to visualize DNA nanolesions induced by heavy ions. Nanolesions appear in cells as "streaks" which can be visualized by using different DNA repair markers. We have studied the kinetics of repair of these "streaks" also with respect to the chromatin conformation. Initial steps in the modeling of the energy deposition patterns at the micrometer and nanometer scale were made with MCHIT and TRAX models, respectively.
- Coulomb effects on electromagnetic pair production in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions (1999)
- We calculate the asymptotic high-energy amplitude for electrons scattering at one ion, as well as at two colliding ions, by means of perturbation theory. We show that the interaction with one ion eikonalizes and that the interaction with two ions causally decouples. We are able to put previous results on perturbative grounds and propose further applications for the obtained rules for interactions on the light cone. We discuss the implications of the eikonal amplitude on the pair production probability in ultrarelativistic peripheral heavy-ion collisions. In this context the Weizsäcker-Williams method is shown to be exact in the ultrarelativistic limit, irrespective of the produced particles' mass. A new equivalent single-photon distribution is derived, which correctly accounts for Coulomb distortions. The impact on single-photon induced processes is discussed.
- Structure of the vacuum in nuclear matter: a nonperturbative approach (1997)
- We compute the vacuum polarization correction to the binding energy of nuclear matter in the Walecka model using a nonperturbative approach. We first study such a contribution as arising from a ground-state structure with baryon-antibaryon condensates. This yields the same results as obtained through the relativistic Hartree approximation of summing tadpole diagrams for the baryon propagator. Such a vacuum is then generalized to include quantum effects from meson fields through scalar-meson condensates which amounts to summing over a class of multiloop diagrams. The method is applied to study properties of nuclear matter and leads to a softer equation of state giving a lower value of the incompressibility than would be reached without quantum effects. The density-dependent effective sigma mass is also calculated including such vacuum polarization effects.
- Hybrid approaches to heavy ion collisions and future perspectives (2011)
- We present the current status of hybrid approaches to describe heavy ion collisions and their future challenges and perspectives. First we present a hybrid model combining a Boltzmann transport model of hadronic degrees of freedom in the initial and final state with an optional hydrodynamic evolution during the dense and hot phase. Second, we present a recent extension of the hydrodynamical model to include fluctuations near the phase transition by coupling a chiral field to the hydrodynamic evolution.
- Phase structure of strongly interacting matter and simulations of heavy-ion collisions using a quark-hadron model (2010)
- Abstract We consider the phase structure of hadronic and hadron-quark models at finite temperature and density. The basis for the hadronic part is an extension of a flavor-SU(3) ? ? ? model. We study the effect on the phase diagram by adding additional hadronic resonances to the model. With the resulting equation of state we investigate heavy-ion c... collisions using hydrodynamical simulations. In a combined approach we include quarks and the Polyakov loop field in the calculation and study chiral symmetry restoration and the deconfinement transition.
- Particle ratios from AGS to RHIC in an interacting hadronic model (2004)
- Abstract: The measured particle ratios in central heavy-ion collisions at RHIC-BNL are investigated within a chemical and thermal equilibrium chiral SU(3) Ã É approach. The commonly adopted non-interacting gas calculations yield temperatures close to or above the critical temperature for the chiral phase transition, but without taking into account any interactions. In contrast, the chiral SU(3) model predicts temperature and density dependent effective hadron masses and effective chemical potentials in the medium and a transition to a chirally restored phase at high temperatures or chemical potentials. Three different parametrizations of the model, which show different types of phase transition behaviour, are investigated. We show that if a chiral phase transition occured in those collisions, freezing of the relative hadron abundances in the symmetric phase is excluded by the data. Therefore, either very rapid chemical equilibration must occur in the broken phase, or the measured hadron ratios are the outcome of the dynamical symmetry breaking. Furthermore, the extracted chemical freeze-out parameters differ considerably from those obtained in simple non-interacting gas calculations. In particular, the three models yield up to 35 MeV lower temperatures than the free gas approximation. The inmedium masses turn out to differ up to 150 MeV from their vacuum values.

PITTSBURGH – A torn labrum and strained rotator cuff couldn't keep Canon-McMillan's Alec Rideout from throwing the shot put and discus at yesterday's WPIAL individual championships – he did drop the javelin from his usual routine – but his creaky shoulder did make competing difficult.
Rideout finished second in the shot put with a throw of 53 feet, 6 3/4 inches, qualifying for the PIAA meet. He was fifth in the discus with a throw of 150-5.
"That's why I threw so bad today," Rideout said.
The injury, Rideout said, first happened during football season when he made a tackle against Upper St. Clair. He popped the shoulder back into place but re-injured it the following week against Central Catholic.
Rideout said he tore the shoulder during wrestling season and re-aggravated the injury about four weeks ago during a tri-meet.
He dropped the javelin as a away to cope and focused more on his shot put, an event where he owns the school record.
"My form is good. Everything is there," Rideout said. "I just have no strength to carry out the final throw."
And the pain? Yeah, there's plenty of that.
"It's painful the next day," Rideout said. "Right now, it's just tired, and it will be painful the next day. I'll go through treatment and practice, and it gets alright. Then another meet happens, and it goes back to being painful."
Some good pointers
Of all the people who have given Alyssa Wise advice, Joe Phillips might be the most unlikely. But that's what happened last year.
Phillips noticed that Wise, now a junior at Washington, was keeping her hands closed rather than open while running. That seemingly minor technical changed has helped.
"It made me more comfortable," said Wise.
And a more comfortable Wise is a more effective Wise, who won the 100 and took second in the 200 in Class AA action yesterday.
"I'm pumping my arms stronger now," she said.
Wise has won three WPIAL individual titles in the past two seasons and hopes to make an impact – hands open – at the state meet.
"I'm going to take this week to prepare myself," she said. "I'm just focusing on the race.'
Unusual strength
The parents of Kailyn Clancy knew they had an exceptional child on their hands at an early eage.
Clancy, now a junior at California, surprised her mom as a 3-year-old by lifting her off the ground.
"My parents said I was a strong kid," Clancy said. "I could pick up my mom when I was 3. My dad wouldn't let me try to lift him."
That strength has been developed and put to use in track and field. Clancy won two WPIAL titles – one with a 43-0 shot put and one with a 112-5 effort in the discus – at Baldwin and is looking for more gold at the state tournament.
Extra laps
Isbell was second in the 400 dash in 50.24. … Chartiers-Houston's David Kincaid finished third in the 110 hurdles in 15.40 seconds. … Jefferson-Morgan's Nic Santoyo was the lone Greene County qualifier He placed fourth in the javelin with a throw of 166-9.

Two days after the House of Representatives subcommittee on agricultural appropriations created a way for schools to opt out of recently revised school nutrition standards, their counterparts on the Senate appropriations committee voted to uphold the requirement that schools serve at least one half-cup of fruits and vegetables in school meals.
The issue was not settled yet, but industry advocates were hopeful the Senate's treatment of the issue would prevail as fiscal year 2015 agriculture appropriations legislation is reconciled in the weeks ahead.
The House subcommittee on May 20 approved legislation allowing states to disregard nutrition standards if school districts lose money on school meals for six months, beginning last July. The National Harbor, Md.-based School Nutrition Association has asked Congress to revise various aspects of school nutrition regulations, including the requirement that schools serve at least one half-cup of fruits and vegetables in reimbursable school meals.
"For schools suffering economic hardship and needing more time to implement and adjust to the new standards, this waiver gives them that flexibility schools are asking us to provide," said Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-Ala., chairman of the House agricultural appropriations subcommittee, in a statement.
But on May 22, Senate appropriations committee members upheld the standards for minimum fruit and vegetable servings but did allow flexibility in the regulations for schools to adopt new standards on sodium and whole grain products.
Senate lawmakers also asked USDA to create a master plan to show how they will provide technical assistance to schools implementing new nutrition standards.
The bipartisan compromises reached in the Senate make more sense than just giving schools a way to opt out because the new standards are hard to meet, said Tom Stenzel, president of the Washington, D.C.-based United Fresh Produce Association.
"We're going to be working to help the School Nutrition Association and all the schools around the country learn how to buy produce, procure it, hold it and serve it to kids in a way of having kids love more produce," Stenzel said May 22.
Another hearing of the House of Representatives full appropriations committee on May 29 could allow a potential reversal of the opt-out language in the House appropriations bill, Stenzel said.
"We encourage something very similar (to the Senate), a sensible compromise," Stenzel said. "Let's get this behind us and move on getting kids healthier foods."
Both the House and Senate appropriations committees instructed the USDA's Women Infants and Children program to allow fresh white potatoes into the fruit and vegetable voucher program.
The exclusion of white potatoes has been in place since 2009. The Washington, D.C.-based National Potato Council expressed appreciation for lawmakers who supported the effort to remove the ban.

Different Paths, Different Strengths
Freedom from unnecessary suffering is the goal of both Buddhism and modern psychotherapy, yet each approaches this intention from a very different perspective. "Buddhist practice helps us awaken to a well-being that is independent of our circumstances," explains Bruce Tift, "while Western psychotherapy helps us bring our disowned experience into awareness in order to live in a more skillful and satisfying way."
On Already Free, this therapist and Buddhist practitioner opens a fresh dialogue between these two perspectives, and explores how each provides us with essential keys to experiencing full presence and aliveness.
Practical Tools and Wisdom from the Eastern and Western Traditions
Buddhism gives us powerful tools for breaking free of our own identity drama and our fascination with day-to-day problems, yet it does not address how early childhood experience shapes our adult lives. Western psychotherapy provides a wide range of proven techniques for understanding and untangling the development of our neurotic patterns, but it is only beginning to recognize the powerful impact of exploring awareness itself.
"These two approaches sometimes contradict and sometimes support each other," Tift explains. "When used together, they can help us open to all of life in all its richness, its disturbances, and its inherent completeness."
With a keen understanding of the wisdom of East and West, and a special focus on working with intimate relationships as a pathway to spiritual awakening, Bruce Tift presents seven immersive sessions of insights, wisdom, and practical instruction for realizing the fundamental freedom that is your birthright.

- Extraordinary! Review by Carroll
This is one of the best series I have listened to. Extremely thought provoking, especially the part on Relationships. Everything came together when Bruce talked about the four stages of persona. It cleared up concern I had about recent feelings of separation despite a close relationship with my spouse. These feelings are easily explained as being part of a natural evolution into the fourth stage of persona, something to celebrate, not fear. What an epiphany! Thank you, Bruce. I'm on a cloud.

I first encountered Bruce's work on the "Deepening Intimacy" series, and was very impressed by his unique approach to relationships. I'm totally in love with his mastery shared in "Already Free." I've listened to it several times and will continue to keep it on hand for more dives into his remarkably cogent presentation. Thank you, Sounds True, for sharing the work of such supportive expertise with us. And, thank you, Bruce. It has been of great benefit to my life.

This is by far the most helpful program I have listened to. I am a psychiatrist practicing in Arizona, in an area where there is virtually no therapist taking this approach. There is a great need for this.

- Review for Already Free Review by Debra M
I've listened to the whole series and have found it extremely interesting and valuable. Comparing psychotherapy and Buddhist views, pointing out both are valid and can be helpful in a cooperative way, is a unique approach that I have not seen before. I intend to buy any books by Bruce Tift on this same subject, to be able to study it more in depth.

What prompted me to buy this CD/download was the short video on the website of the Awake Retreat with Tami Simon and friends coming up this August.I never heard of him before but totally appreciated his talk on relationships which is also on the CD. All 6-talks on the CD are excellent and I am truly grateful for this opportunity to buy downloads so easily.

- Review for Already Free Review by Chris T
Bruce is the best I've come across at bridging the gap between western therapy and non-dual practice. Particularly important to my own practice was understanding how shame and fear blockages get formed at childhood as an obvious self protective measures. Children must behave in ways to gain approval of adults because children can't feed and house themselves. Shame happens when we must deny parts of ourselves to simply survive as children but when we're adults we can reintegrate with the parts we left behind. Powerful, powerful teaching contained here.

- Review for Already Free Review by Bill T
This is an enjoyable audiobook from a counselor and Buddhist. It contains the ramblings of a counselor interspersed with truths from a Buddhist. The truths, in my opinion, come in a watered down version. Or perhaps they are just second level truths. I'm happy with my purchase; I'm just not astounded with clarity and truth like I am by Eckhart Tolle or Ken Wilber.

- Review for Already Free Review by Linde H
I can't stop listening to Bruce's CD Already Free. Please, please talk him into another series. I will pre-buy ANYTHING by him. He has given me a framework to understand all of the teachings I have ever been exposed to and a sense of how the dilemma of accepting how I am and also being with those longings to improve in so many ways is not solvable but very livable.

This is the marriage of psychology and Buddhism I've been looking for. Thank you, Bruce. Would love to have a book to read and mark in. I'm grateful for the experience and knowledge shared so openly.

- Review for Already Free Review by zoe nobari
the audios match the depth promised in tami simon's interview with bruce tift in the self acceptance series. his authenticity and vulnerability that are communicated all so naturally, make his talks ever more penetrating... listening to him is more like communion. his presentation is clear, logical, and soulful. i'm thrilled to have discovered him!

Bruce Tift skillfully demonstrates how we can face the things we perceive as problems and overcome our tendancy to hang on to feelings and sensations that cause us suffering. He gives us the tools to set ourselves free.

- Review for Already Free Review by F Charles Williams
I found lots worth thinking about in here. Tift did a nice job of showing the power of moving back and forth between the everyday psychological insights and deeper insights about the nature of reality, mind and ego.

- Review for Already Free Review by Eric Dumas
Great program from Bruce. Very down to heart. Includes shadow work as well. Very organic blends of both approaches, not a forced or theoretical blend. All about being who you are right here right now, not a dis incarnated spiritual superhero born to save the world. Great stuff. Highly recommended.

- Review for Already Free Review by Kali Cathie
As a hypnotherapist who has been working in a very psychspiritual way of late, this was a great way to stitch a few things together. I love how he keeps switching between Buddhist and developmental perspectives, and anchoring it all together in the realm of relationship is only beneficial for everyone.

I bought this download after listening to the podcast interview with Tara SImon, and I'm happy I did. There is a lot of material here, equally insightful and compassionate. It is refreshing to hear a synthesis of Buddhism and Psychoanalytics put to practical terms. I hope we hear more from Bruce Tift in the future and I'd especially like to see something in print!

I was happy to have spent the time listening to this audio, which is saying a lot, as it's over 7 hours.
Bruce is highly intelligent, interesting to listen to, and thought provoking, even though I did not agree with all his opinions.

- Review for Already Free Review by Michael McCormick
There is life-changing wisdom in these talks. Bruce's theory of neurotic organization and its expression in self and relationship, and his recommended practices of self-responsibility and embodied experiencing are incredibly fruitful views and approaches. Life can be very uncomfortable, and Bruce helps one see why this discomfort does not have to be such a big deal.

This is such an interesting and profound teaching. There's so much in it every time I hear it. it makes me think about many things in a new way. The whole chapter on anxiety is so helpful and interesting. so is what he says about relationships. I hope to hear more from Bruce Tift!

- Review for Already Free Review by Tom Grenier
This is a superb offering. I've only listened to less than half of it – after 10 to 15 minutes of it I need to meditate on what was said. This is one of the most insightful teachings I have heard. Hats off to Mr. Tift and Sounds True – I'm less than half through and already know I WANT MORE!

I am not sure what to call this. A lecture, distilled clarity, wisdom in a box...
I have been recommending this to everyone I know who is committed to their path of personal growth.
If you are seeking understanding of yourself and the path to living more fully take a look, you won't regret it.

- Review for Already Free Review by Paula Kline
This series with Bruce Tift on Psychotherapy, using Buddhist principles is amazing. It is like two halves of a whole...the blending with one, balancing and explaining the other. A mirror looking into the mirror, sort of thing...only it has such practical value, such useful insights.
Being from the Western, scientific upbringing, and having an undergraduate degree in psychology, I could readily identify with the psychotheraputic model, which is good, but it is lacking.
I very much appreciated this approach and Tift's clarity with very complicated concepts and his ease of manner.
I highly recommend this series.

I have not bought the product yet only for budgetary reasons at this time. BUT I heard the interview with Tami Simon and also heart the excerpt here and already am hooked unto the material.
It feels new; it feels liberating and empowering - even though possibly not easy because it seems to be about taking full responsibility for our lives.
I just ordered abunch of stuff from Soundstrue before I heard the interview so i have to wai a bit before venture. But already, I want to recommend the material. It seems helpful, original and new.
Thank you to Bruce Tift.

Reddick is day to day with sprained ankle
PHOENIX -- A's right fielder Josh Reddick left Friday night's Cactus League game against the White Sox at Phoenix Municipal Stadium in the third inning of a 4-4 tie with a sprained left ankle.
"He's fine. Just rolled his ankle a little bit," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "Day to day. He should be OK. It's not a big deal. He was off tomorrow anyway [against the Giants at Scottsdale Stadium]. Hopefully he'll be able to play the day after tomorrow."
Reddick slipped while fielding a fly ball hit by Paul Konerko for the second out of the second inning, Melvin said. He struck out in his only at bat of the game midway through the first.
Melvin has been cycling his five outfielders this spring and said before the game that each would get 400-500 at-bats this season. The starters are Yoenis Cespedes in left, Coco Crisp in center and Reddick in right, where he won a Gold Glove last season, his first for the A's after playing three seasons in Boston.
Newcomer Chris Young and holdover Seth Smith are the other outfielders. Young was in left with Cespedes at designated hitter on Friday night.
Reddick played in 156 games and batted .242 with 32 homers and 85 RBIs in 2012 as the A's won the American League West title and lost to the Tigers in a five-game AL Division Series. This spring, he's batting .306 (11-for-36) with three homers and 10 RBIs.

Topic: John C. Arends 01/26/2008
It brings me deep sadness to inform my father has passed away, as a result to this terrible illness. On 01/26/08 at sunset, my father left in body and stays in spirit. It was so amazing how he waited for the sunset and everyone in the family was there to witness his last breath. I miss him dearly everyday and he will continue to stay close to my heart. As for a lot of people on here who have either experienced this themselves or family, my dad was very young at age 60. He did enjoy life to its fullest and cherished every moment of it. He was able to spend a long vacation in Eurpoe with my mom, just recently in July. He was a well loved, infectious person that created many friends in the community and contributed to his success as a person, both professionally and personally.
My heart goes out for everyone on here and their family.
Love and prayers,

Braintree boss' happiness is tinged with disappointment
7:52am Thursday 16th February 2012
By Simon Spurgeon
7:52am Thursday 16th February 2012
By Simon Spurgeon
Alan Devonshire admitted that seeing two points dropped to a late goal was disappointing as his Braintree Town team were held to a 3-3 draw at Lincoln City in the Blue Square Bet Premier.
Having come back from an early opener by the hosts with a goal by Jai Reason and then led twice through Reason's second and one from Watford loanee Britt Assombalonga, the Iron were pegged back by Louis Almond's stoppage-time leveller at Sincil Bank.
Manager Devonshire said: "There's always excitement when Braintree Town play.
"To be honest, we would have taken a point if you'd offered it to us before the game, but to only draw having been leading twice, you would be hoping to get a win.
"However, it was our first game for 17 days and there were some good perfromances and some poor performances out there.
"I was pleased overall with the way they responded to being out of action for so long, though.
"We aren't a full-time team and I was a bit worried how we would react.
"But we have tried to keep them working hard in training by running on the snow even though we couldn't get any ball work done for the last two weeks."
He added: "We were hugley disappointed, but it's another point and it means we have only lost one since the start of January and that was at the leaders Fleetwood.
"We had a good talk during the break in football because of the bad weather and we said we didn't want the season to peter out.
"It's been such a good season and we want to end it on a high."
There was, however, disappointment that his team couldn't hold on to all three points after taking the lead late in the game.
It is the fifth time this season that Braintree have seen points dropped because of goals in the last ten minutes of games.
Devonshire said: "Teams throw players forward if they are chasing the game and it's not just for us.
"Remember how Bayern Munich saw two goals go in against Manchester United in the European Cup final – it happens at the highest level as much as at ours.
"But it's not good as once again we have got ourselves into a good position and not been able to hold on.

Here is my understanding, when you act out to do negative things for the sake of short term/financial benefit, you will plant a seed which will result in a fruit which will come back to hurt you.
For example, you have a test tomorrow and instead of study for it, you go out party with friend, as a result you will receive pleasure of fun, in the end because of not studying you fail the test which is the fruit.
Thing that you have done to yourself are quite easily explain, because it often involves you and something else that is not a sentient being. What about things that you have done to another person who is also able to think and act?
For example if you harm someone for your self benefit, such as if you make a living by trafficking young girls into sexual slavery? You receives financial gain for now, but person that you traffic will feel much suffering as the result of your action. So in this case how will you receive the fruit of your bad action?
1. You will feel remorse for the evil you have done and it will haunt your mental being. This is what a lot of people say what will happen to you, BUT is this the only consequence you will suffer?
2. You might get caught by the police and be charge with a crime and serve out your punishment from jail. This is social justice and most likely outcome as well.
3. The victim that you traffic might one day catch up to you and harm you for what you have done to her.
4. You cover your track well and never got caught by authorities or someone who seek revenge, as a result in your next rebirth, you will feel the same pain which you have caused others in your previous rebirth.
BUT what is the karmic result of your action on your victims?
For example if you cause harm to another person by killing him, does that person will form the desire to kill you as what you have done to him? Like... in your next rebirth when you meet that person's rebirth, will that person be place into the position of someone that automatically hates you? For example... you being an American Marine and that person being the Taliban and you both meet on the battlefield?
Or when your victim rebirths, he or she will not suffer any resentment towards you, because you will somehow receive the karma feedback for killing him in other ways?
Basically, when you harm another person who have just as much right to exist as you do, how will you experience the fruit of what you done? And how the other person be effected by your action in the Karmic way?

A CAMPAIGN pressuring Woolworths to place bet limits on its 12,000 poker machines faces a setback with proxy advisers recommending investors reject the resolutions at a meeting later this month.
The extraordinary meeting, coinciding with Woolworths' annual meeting in Adelaide on November 22, will pit shareholders associated with activist group GetUp! - which requisitioned the meeting - against Woolworths' board.
Win or lose, the publicity is expected to further fuel the debate over whether Australia's largest grocer should also be the largest operator of something as socially divisive as poker machines.
Both ISS and CGI Glass Lewis recommended that shareholders vote against the resolution that would require Woolworths to limit bets on its poker machines to $1, and limit the machines' operating hours.
''Upon examination of both the proponents' and company's arguments, it is not considered that the proponents have provided a sufficient burden of proof that change is required at the company,'' ISS said in its report.
Rival proxy adviser CGI said Woolworths had implemented harm reduction measures ''above and beyond'' what was required by law, and more stringent measures to curb the risk of problem gambling ''may place the company at a significant competitive disadvantage''.
CGI did express concerns along with its support.
''While we are concerned regarding the company's unwillingness to publicly acknowledge the reputational risks associated with its gaming operations, we do not believe that the proponent has sufficiently demonstrated that the company's current management of this issue is deficient to the degree that warrants adoption of this proposal.''
In a letter to shareholders last month, Woolworths chairman James Strong said: ''Problem gambling is a complex social issue that will not be addressed with one simplistic solution that will apply only to Woolworths in isolation. Such an approach will not solve problem gambling, it will only disadvantage Woolworths' shareholders.''
But even financial market brokers have weighed in on the issue.
''One argument in favour of the resolution is that negative sentiment around Woolworths profiting from problem gambling might cause a consumer backlash resulting in a loss of retail sales,'' Citi analyst Craig Woolford said in a report this month.
Citi estimated that Woolworths earns about $140 million from poker machines before interest and tax, and estimated that if a backlash led to a 2.2 per cent drop in its sales across its supermarkets, liquor business and other stores, it would negate these earnings. ''However, we think a sustained consumer backlash of this size is unlikely,'' Citi said.
Shoppers would have a dilemma as Woolworths' rival, Wesfarmers-owned Coles, is also a significant poker machine operator via its pub operations. And Metcash, which operates the IGA supermarket chain, plans to copy Coles and Woolworths and break into the pubs and poker machine market.

Nivea A Kiss of Smoothness SPF 10 Reviews
Just bought it!I just bought this one and I love it. It has a subtle sweet, pleasant taste. Lasts a while, but I did have to apply several times throughout the day. I live in a very dry place so having some sort of lip moisturizer is a must, specially during the winter months. I have been using it for a couple of days now and my lips are not dry, but soft and smooth. It is also super affordable, since I bought i...read moret at Walmart for only three dollars. It also came with a coupon with one dollar off the next one I buy. I love it, and I think it is far superior in quality than other products for dry or chapped lips. I will definitely want to buy again and try other variations of this product, such as the honey lips one. This is definitely a favorite of mine now, and I regret not buying it sooner. — 4 years, 10 months agoyestfl | 239 reviews

Great for a Cheap Lip BamI got this on sale for a dollar so picked up three. It is very smooth and hydrating, leaves a veil of moisture on lips without being waxy or overly greasy or shiny. I also like the added spf. A hint of vanilla scent for aromatherapy. — 3 years, 9 months agoSubCulture | 332 reviews

Great SPFWithin my knowledge, Nivea has a pretty good reputation, with outstanding body lotions, absolutely amazing lip butters, and good skin care products. Compared to that, this Kiss of Smoothness Hydrating Lip Care with SPF 10 is decent. There were a lot of nice things about this lip balm. I bought this balm when I saw the SPF 10 on the label because it was a blazing hot and sunny summer, and our lips ...read moreneed SPF as much as our face or body does. So far, this SPF has been just perfect. Also, the packaging is neat and simple, no frills or fluff. The light blue color is cute and the twist up applicator is quick and clean, as opposed to the Nivea Lip Butters where you have to stick your fingers into the product. Sometimes I do like more flashy, creative packaging, but for day to day, "apply and then throw in the purse" use, this is good. Then, the lip balm was very smooth and silky going on, and the clear color made this perfect to wear under glosses, stains, or lipstick for both color and sun protection. Finally, the price tag was very reasonable, considering I got two for about $4. However, this lip balm was not very moisturizing. At all. Despite going on smooth and silky, the moisture did not last long at all. About five minutes at most, and after that my lips actually start to feel very chapped and uncomfortable. So you either have to apply this every few minutes, or just sit there with chapped, uncomfortable-feeling lips. Also, I am really not a fan of the scent. While I can understand how many people would find the scent simple, subtle, and floral, it honestly smells like nothing else but outdated perfume to me. It smells like old lady, in other words. I do not find that the least bit appealing. Finally, do not leave this in the car if it's hotter than about 78 degrees Farenheit outside or you will come back to a hot (literally) mess. The same day I bought this Nivea lip balm, I left it in the car for about ten to fifteen minutes in 85-degree weather while I was in the grocery store. When I came back and opened the lip balm to put it on, it was pretty close to melted. It's like when a stick of butter starts to melt around the edges about five seconds in the microwaving process. Not cool. It's a good thing I had leather seats and a refrigerator at home to cool this lip balm down in to (try) to restore it's former cylindrical shape. Overall, not a terrible balm, but there are definitely better, non-old-lady-smelling balms out there that offer much better moisture. — 3 years, 11 months agooceanbubbles | 112 reviews
SPF 15 VersionTrue to its name, it has a velvety smooth texture. Feels great and has a mild sweetness. The new broad-spectrum sunscreen is a welcome improvement, and definitely useful on a sunny day. This balm is good for everyday use and preventing dryness, but I think it is too light to treat seriously chapped lips. — 2 years, 9 months agoHelmi | 13 reviews

Super smoothI love the Nivea lip balm. It goes on much smoother than other brands, and makes my "always dry" lips feel instantly much better. There is no scent or taste. I keep one in my bathroom, my desk and in my pocket! — 3 years, 2 months agomlbowers | 45 reviews
NiceI bought this a few years ago, lost it and recently found it. It still works as if I bought it yesterday, not dried out at all. it has a very nice scent and no real taste, either good or bad. It leaves a nice, silky feeling and does improve the look and feel of your lips but it's best used for dry lips not for peeling ones. — 4 years, 8 months agocheriesherry | 4 reviews

Super soft lips in no timeThis balm is my go-to favorite. I have three tubes of it! One for the bag, one at home, and one in my pocket.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Titled "Allen County Innovation," the 520-square foot exhibit tells the story of ideas Fort Wayne residents and businesses developed into a wide array of products, including magnet wire, radios, television, fuel pumps and more.
"We tried to fit as many stories into the exhibit as we can," said Todd Maxwell Pelfrey, History Center executive director.
Located on the museum's main floor, the $250,000 exhibit also includes 18 interactive stations. Visitors can start an electric motor, build a fuel pump and TV out of large puzzle pieces, and push a button to sound the brass ship's whistle used to signal shift changes at the International Harvester plant on the city's southeast side from 1928 until the plant closed on July 15, 1983.
The museum had to turn down the volume on the whistle, however, Pelfrey said.
These days, visitors of all ages want interactive exhibits, he said. Before construction of "Allen County Innovation," only about 20 percent of the museum's exhibits had interactive components.
The History Center paid for the exhibit through a $2.5-million capital campaign held the last four years, Pelfrey said. For the first time in a generation, the funds raised give the museum the opportunity to upgrade all of its exhibits and to consider growing into areas of the building not in use — or even adding onto the building.
The new exhibit replaces an exhibit Pelfrey described as a "hodgepodge" of items from the late 1800s.
"It was called the 'Personality of the City' room, but the room didn't really have personality," he said.
History Center officials started talking about the new exhibit in 2007, and decided its main focus should be magnet wire, Pelfrey said.
In the early 1900s, George Jacobs developed an enameling process that allowed copper wire to be made in extremely small-diameter sizes or gauges. The discovery made it possible to build smaller electric motors and many other electronic devices, Pelfrey said.
"The magnet wire heritage here is immense," and arguably Fort Wayne's greatest contribution to the world economy, he noted.
The exhibit also salutes the city's many other innovators, ranging from Philo T. Farnsworth's radios and televisions; Bowser, Wayne and Tokheim gasoline pumps; and Horton washing machines to current companies Sweetwater Sound and Vera Bradley.
The weak economy slowed fundraising for the exhibit from 2008 to 2010, Pelfrey said. But The History Center had the money in hand by 2011 and began detailed design work about a year ago.
The museum worked with Group Delphi, an Alameda, Calif., company that has its Midwestern Division office in Fort Wayne, to design, build and install the exhibit, he said. Demolition of the old exhibit and installation of "Allen County Innovation" took three months.

Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Steve Jobs and Whitney Houston were all taken from this world too soon, and the reaction to their deaths on the Internet was overwhelming.
On Saturday, the most recent celebrity death of Whitney Houston flooded Twitter accounts worldwide. According to an article, more than 2 million tweets about Houston's death occurred within the first hour after the news broke. The tweets peaked at more than 1,000 per second. According to the infographic below, this is more than Michael Jaskson's death, which hit 456 tweets per second. However, neither can compete with the announcement of Beyonce and Jay Z's baby, which hit a whopping 8,886 tweets per second or Super Bowl XLVI which now holds the record at 12, 233 tweet per second. (Yes, you did read that right!)
Although there are conflicting accounts, a Mashable article states that a Twitter user tweeted about the death of Houston to his 14 followers, 27 minutes before a credible news source.
So what does this mean for news sources? Are more people turning to Twitter and other social media outlets to obtain news? Check out the infographic below from PCMag.com, created by Leslie Horn, and let us know what you think.

Two first-half tries from full-back Zak Hardaker saw Leeds into the last eight and kept them on course for their first Tetley's Challenge Cup triumph since 1999.
The stand-out fifth-round tie at Headingley lived up to all expectations as the Rhinos showed their class to establish a 20-6 lead before demonstrating their new-found defensive resolve to keep St Helens at bay in a spirited fightback.
Leeds finally clinched a 32-12 victory with two tries from Danny McGuire and Jamie Peacock in the last seven minutes of a quality match to condemn Saints to a third successive defeat.
The game was seen as a clash of the two most exciting sets of outside backs in the English game and it fully justified its billing.
Hardaker took the scoring honours, but England winger Ryan Hall was the biggest thorn in St Helens' side with a series of rampaging runs that earned him the man-of-the-match award.
St Helens, toppled from the Super League summit after back-to-back defeats over Easter, were virtually at full strength, with the return of eight first-choice players, including influential scrum-half Luke Walsh, and he was at the heart of their attacking play.
The tone for the first half was set inside the first carry of the match when Saints prop Alex Walmsley lost the ball to give the home side a perfecting attacking position.
Leeds forced a goal-line drop-out from which Hardaker regained possession to set up the opening try.
Kevin Sinfield combined with his trusty lieutenants Rob Burrow and McGuire to create an overlap on the right, but Hardaker went on his own and stretched out of a two-man tackle to plant the ball over the line for his first try.
Sinfield added the goal to make it 6-0, but Tom Briscoe knocked on from the re-start to help give Saints a foothold in the game.
It needed something special to unlock the best defence in Super League and the visitors produced it on 13 minutes when centre Mark Percival broke out of his own half to send winger Adam Swift over for a try, which was converted from the touchline by Walsh.
Saints had a let-off when McGuire touched down after pouncing on the ball after it came loose from Walsh's grasp, with video referee Ben Thaler deciding the tackle had been complete.
But the momentum stayed with the Rhinos, who gained more reward for their enterprising play four minutes before half-time when Hall's latest powerful burst created the space for Hardaker to weave his way over for a second try. Sinfield added the goal for a 12-6 interval lead.
Sinfield stretched the advantage to eight points with a penalty four minutes into the second half and Leeds were firmly in control after scoring a third try four minutes later.
A break on halfway from ever-dangerous second-rower Carl Ablett set up the position for centre Joel Moon to cross and Sinfield kicked his fourth goal from as many attempts to make it 20-6.
Saints were awarded their first penalty on 51 minutes and that gave them the position to score their second try.
Full-back Jonny Lomax had been well marked, but he unleashed the shackles with a neatly-timed pass to get loose forward Josh Jones over and Walsh kicked his second goal.
That prompted Saints to produce their best spell of the match but they suffered a blow when former Leeds prop Kyle Amor went off with a knee injury.
Leeds also lost lively hooker Burrow with a shoulder injury on 64 minutes, but they soaked up a tremendous amount of pressure before sealing the win.
A break from halfway by centre Kallum Watkins got McGuire over and former England prop Jamie Peacock added the finishing touches with a close-range try just before the end, with Sinfield taking his goal tally to six from as many attempts.

After almost a full year hanging out at blogger, The Hockey Bay has joined the Bloguin family! I am thrilled to be the resident Tampa Bay Lightning blogger on this network of great blogs that are written by bloggers I read and respect.
Update your rss feeds or bookmarks to my new url (pay attention it's a little different from my old one): thehockeybayblog.com
The Hockey Bay will remain the same with game day previews, recaps (sometimes) and the usual sarcasm that you've come to love from me. Up to the minute news? I try. Stats analysis? Hell no. But I promise to try to bring the funny as much as I can.
I am still stunned that the bosses at bloguin said they liked my work, and not just one blog but both of them (the other is a Vancouver Canucks blog now named Benched Whale). So when they asked if I wanted to move both of them over to the bloguin network, clearly the answer was yes. I get a site re-design, spiffy new banner but still get the creative control over what I feel like I want to write about.
In addition, one of the things that really swayed me to join was the community of hockey blogs that have joined bloguin. The puck blogs are growing fast here, so it's very exciting to be part of something that feels big. One of the great things about being a blogger is getting the chance to work with other bloggers on collaborative features as well as just having an enemy blog to hate on when writing a game preview.
So enjoy the new site, I know I do.no comments
It's December and tonight is the 1st out of 6 games that we will play against the Caps. There will then be two in January and three in March, thank you NHL for the even distribution.
I'm pleased to say that the Lightning are coming off of a shutout victory over the Islanders over the weekend after ending a bit of a slide. With a good performance on Saturday, Mike Smith has earned another start for tonight. The Caps are on a 5 game win streak and Alex Ovechkin is back after serving a 2 game suspension.
Tonight will be a good game for the Lightning to see how they measure up to a good divisional rival. Although Smith did get a shutout on Saturday, I still don't have the confidence in him to say that he will have another good night.
Game time: 7:30 ET on SUN
-Sorry about the less than informative preview, but I was a little pressed for time.no comments
Before we get started, let me just say: Victor Hedman got his first NHL goal!
After all the hype of the first two 2009 draft picks facing each other last night, the Lightning had a perfect game shutting out the Islanders. All this, in front of a half empty arena, on a Saturday night.
Second shift in to the game, Ryan Malone opened up the scoring just 95 seconds into the game. The Islanders disagreed with the goal since they thought that the ref should have call the play dead, but the ref's mistake was our first goal. Nice quote from Roloson: "He whacked at it like five times and there's no whistle, so yeah, you sort of expect for there to be a stoppage in play. But I guess everybody makes mistakes,".
The Lightning also got a power play goal from Steve Downie (sounds like such a juxtaposition) at the end of the 1st, another powerplay goal at the beginning of the second period from Halpern and of course, the goal from Hedman in the 3rd. Hedman's goal came halfway through the third from a pass through the slot from Lecavalier.
"My first-ever NHL goal feels pretty awesome. Let's hope it doesn't take 28 more games to get the next one," Hedman said. "It was a great goal, and I promised my friends back home we'd have a celebration, so it was definitely awesome. It's been a couple of games that I had a lot of good opportunities. I've fanned on a few shots and the puck has gone over my stick too, but it felt good to finally get one."
Lecavalier, St. Louis and Meszaros all had two assists on the night and Mike Smith got his first shutout since Dec 23 2008.
Enemy blog: Another team that I don't keep up with much, except with Tavares lands himself in the highlight reel, neverless check out Islanders Hockey Blog
John Tavares and someone named Matt Moulson is the Islanders team these days. Where did this Moulson character come from? The whole team. He breathes hope into Islander fans much like Crosby did for the Penguins. So much hope that a report says that Charles Wang has given GM Garth Snow permission to add payroll for a playoff run. Whoa. I don't know if the playoffs are in the picture just yet, but Tavares certainly is making a case for being a Calder Trophy candidate. He has had 7 goals and 7 assists with a plus 6 rating in the last 17 games.
Not related to this game but still interesting: TSN reports that mythical player Rick DiPietro may be back playing for the team in mid December. Someone already picked him up in my fantasy hockey pool.
Line-up Notes:
- Mike Smith in goal
Enemy blog: Although I don't keep up with them, I know someone who does, check out Running with the Devils
The Devils played against the Canucks at home on Wednesday and lost to Vancouver 5-2. The Lightning have lost their first two games against the Devils already this season back in October and need to beat the Devils to stop this current slide. It's not sure if Brodeur will start in net tonight as the Devils haven't released any official word yet.
Line-up Notes:
- To be updated
The Bruins just signed Savard to a seven year extension...cue the rumors of Kovalchuk to the Leafs now please....
Enemy blog: Check out Something's Bruin where they are currently dissecting the contract extension that has Savard on the team till he's 40 years old (clearly front loaded).
The Bruins have won five of their last six games, and the Lightning have now been losing more than they've won in the past few games. The Lightning need to turn this around. With the new contract announcement, I expect Marc Savard to have a good game tonight, of course with any new contract, he may begin sucking next game for the rest of the year....
The plus for the Lightning is that Ohlund has returned back to the lineup last game which will give the D some leadership direction. It wasn't that the defense played horribly while Ohlund was out, it just looked like they were lost during some games.
Line-up Notes:
- Mike Smith in goal
- Smaby finally gets to play tonight
no comments
Marc Savard just signed a extension so it was expected that he would score a goal non? The other goals from the B's came from Bergeron and two from Sturm. Former Bolt Mark Recchi got 3 assists.
Halpern got the only goal for the Lightning and Matt Smaby played for the first time this season. The Lightning as a team is going to need to put together a good performance, especially in the defense on Friday because they'll play the Devils. The play between tonight's game of offense from the B's will be a stark contract to the defensiveness from the Devils. Let's move on and hope that the team can put together some effort to stop the losing. no comments

Topic: article: impact of PET scan on intended management
A new article was just published on the effect of the PET scan on treatment decisions for all types of cancer:
One of the categories is liver cancer and intrahepatic bile duct cancer and it is clear from the numbers that the PET scan has a big impact. After the PET scan, the treatment plan was changed in 42% of cases. The plan was changed from no treatment to treatment in 33.6% of cases.
