The President of Wiregrass Georgia Technical College (WGTC) is committed to ensuring an environment for all students and employees that is fair, humane, and respectful; an environment that supports and rewards students and employees on the basis of relevant considerations and is free from illegal or inappropriate conduct. Wiregrass Georgia Technical College expects standards of professional behavior that exceed those minimally prescribed by law. As such, WGTC is an equal opportunity institution. The college administration does not tolerate discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, gender (including Sexual Harassment), religion, disability, age, political affiliation or belief, disabled veteran, veteran of the Vietnam Era, or citizenship status (except in those special circumstances permitted or mandated by law). This encompasses the operation of all educational programs and activities, including admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletic and other college administered programs, including any Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) Title I financed programs. This also encompasses the employment of personnel and contracting for goods and services. (For the full Statement of Equal Opportunity, please click Statement of Equal Opportunity, or refer to the Student Handbook, Student Catalog, Employment Page of the WGTC website, the Online Job Center, the WGTC Policy Manual, or Course Syllabi).
Within its policy manual, WGTC maintains a grievance procedure for addressing discrimination, which meets the federal requirements for compliance with Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Retaliation in any form against individuals bringing grievances is prohibited and will subject the offender to disciplinary action. In many instances it is also a violation of state and federal law.
To ensure an environment conducive to learning and free from harassment, an Office of Campus Equity & Compliance (CEC) has been established and a diverse eight-person, inter-campus team has been appointed. The CEC Team's core mission is to identify proactive steps in promoting the realization of equal opportunity through a continuing program of specific practices and training designed to ensure the full realization of equity. Under the direction of the Title IX Coordinator, and ADA & Section 504 Coordinator, the CEC Team will ensure that initial information and training, as well as continued publicity and education, is provided to students, faculty, and staff. (For a copy of the Unlawful Harassment Policy and Complaint Procedures, please refer to the WGTC Policy Manual)
Wiregrass Georgia Technical College desires to resolve student grievances, complaints and concerns in an expeditious, fair and amicable manner. If a resolution is not reached at the institution level, or if you believe that the nature of the complaint or its impact on the system as a whole warrants an immediate review by the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) administration, please contact TCSG Student Affairs at firstname.lastname@example.com or complete the complaint form which can be found at the bottom of the following page: http://www.gvtc.org/stateapprovals/TCSGStudentComplaintInstructions.aspx. Students residing outside of the State of Georgia who are taking an online course may also file a complaint with an agency located in their State.

Trust falls is sort of like a game where you tell your friend that you trust them, you turn around and fall back, "trusting" that the friend will stop your fall. Do you remember that game? I surely played it when I was in high school.
So, what happens when you "trust" a complete stranger?
YouTube user RossCreation put together a video that shows you what happens.
In the video, the guy tells dozens of people that he "trusts" them, but only one caught his fall.
What do you think of this video? Funny or just awkward?

Compex bests its own reputation of feature heavy products with new wireless router NP26G
Compex has designed a wireless broadband router with the capability to provide an even wider array of networking solutions for the SOHO market.
Anaheim, CA - January 7, 2004 - Compex, a rising leader in the networking and connectivity industry, just released its new 802.11g wireless broadband router, NetPassage 26G. Compex has developed an exciting and conversation -inspiring feature, which sets the NP26G apart. The NP26G includes two USB ports, which are able to support a printer, a PC web cam or a tracker pod. This allows a user to use the router as a wired or wireless print server and a wired or wireless camera server.
NP26G also features Compex's Nitro technology, a feature that is most popular for mixed environments. Due to the reality that office and home networks are almost entirely in mixed settings, this feature is extremely beneficial. In a mixed environment of 802.11b and g products, g product speed is compromised because the router must compensate for the slower speed b products. Nitro technology improves this dilemma by using "packet bursting", which sends twice the amount of packets within one frame. By using this method, no channels are compromised, as they often are with super g or enhanced g technology, so possible interference will not reduce speed once again. Thanks to Compex's Nitro technology speed is improved within a mixed environment by 300%.
Another useful feature on the NP26G is wireless Pseudo VLAN. Wireless Pseudo VLAN is a feature that is wonderful for ensuring privacy for sensitive data or simply making a network more efficient. Compex's wireless Pseudo VLAN feature allows a user to set different network clients allowed access to or awareness of specific network folders through the computer management feature, which is also included on NP26G. The NP26G allows up to 10 computers to be in a wireless VLAN group with up to four groups.
The NP26G has yet another feature called Wireless Distribution System (WDS). NP26G supports WDS, which extends the wireless network by repeating only intended broadcast traffic. Unlike the traditional wireless repeater, the WDS system will not drastically reduce the data transfer repeater. WDS is extremely beneficial for extending wireless the network without sacrificing transfer rate.
A generous amount of general features are included on Compex's NetPassage 26G as well. NP26G comes with four 10/100Mbps ports expandable for 253 users. It has a 2dbi external antenna for added reception and extended range. A NAT Firewall prevents any external parties from acquiring a direct connection with the private network. For further control, users have URL Filtering on the NP26G in order to choose personally which websites are objectionable to them.
The NetPassage 26G is available through buy.com and other major resale and distribution channels. The MSRP is 149.49 USD.
COMPEX is a market -driven leader in the networking and wireless connectivity industry. Compex designs, develops, and manufacturers integrative end -user and enterprise level products to fulfill broadband, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and IRDA solution needs. Compex seeks to address and fulfill market demands with relevant and innovative solutions. Compex products are available through a large network of distributors, resellers, on/off line retailers, and catalogs. Further information on Compex products can be found at www.cpx.com.

EVERETT, WASHINGTON — A suspect in the robbery of a bank hid inside an enormous Boeing Co. jet factory for 10 hours Tuesday before police officers and a dog searching the catwalks and tunnels found him in a crawl space.
He had disguised himself as an employee in hard hat and coveralls.
The suspect crashed a stolen car on a freeway near the factory at 2 a.m. and ran inside the plant where Boeing 747, 767 and 777 jets are assembled. Boeing evacuated much of the factory, shutting down nearly all production.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary Inc, Hudson, FL, USA
Our family had to make the difficult decision to give up or Sun Conure, Lois. We searched everywhere for the best possible place for her to live how she should and be happy for the rest of her life. FEBS was the only place that we felt comfortable with and could trust. We drove all the way from Texas with her and she was welcomed with open arms by Pat Norton. Since then we have visited once and talked to Pat several times and Lois is doing wonderful! We are looking forward to the next time we see her! Pat and her staff only have the birds best interest at heart and realize what they mean to you and know this is a life long need. Pat and everyone at FEBS are truly doing an amazing thing! We are so thankful!

My company is using the following sampling table based on Nicholas Sequigla's Zero Acceptance Number Sampling Plan:
My question is where do the sampling size numbers in the table come
from? What statistics equation/formula is used to arrive at these
sampling size numbers? How is this statistics formula used to get these
numbers? I have read that the numbers may come from Hypergeometric distribution, Poisson distribution, or Binomial distribution. I have tried applying these formulas but still do not understand how they got the numbers in the table.
For example, the table states that for a lot size of 51 to 90 and AQL
of 1%, the sample size is 13. My question is how was it determined
that 13 is the sufficient sample size? There must be a statistics
formula used to calculate this 13.
If someone can proivde me with a thorough explanation, I would truly appreciate it.

Stones in the urinary system are referred as 'Renal Calculi'. These kidney stones are not exactly stones, but are actually hard deposits of minerals that can form anywhere within the urinary tract - kidney or the bladder. There are many conventional forms of treatment available to eradicate a stone, but Homeopathy medicines offer a much more simpler and efficient way in taking care of the kidney stones. Let us have a look at how effective these are.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are known to form when the urine becomes too concentrated. The primary reason for such condition could be dehydration. Kidney stones are extremely painful. Pain can be felt in the lower back or, the lower abdomen. There can be a heaviness in the urinary tract often followed by bleeding. It also changes the color of the urine to a pinkish brown. The patient may also experience nausea and vomiting.
What causes kidney stones?
As stated earlier, lack of water can be a major reason for the formation of stones. The chances of kidney stone reoccurring in a person multiplies several times if a person is not in the habit of drinking water. There are also a few food products that are high in salt that may help in the formation of stones. In conventional medications, there is no foolproof method to dissolve the stone and it often involves surgery. The operation has to be followed by months of post-operative recuperation that can be physically daunting for the patient. Also, there are chances that the stones can reoccur at any point in time. This is where homeopathy differs drastically from the conventional methods.
How does homeopathy help in renal calculi?
The biggest advantage of using homeopathy is that it treats the body as the whole. The physician would understand the patient first before imparting the treatment. The latter's lifestyle, his food habits and his stress factors are discussed in detail to get the complete picture of the type of medications to give. The other biggest advantage of using homeopathy is that there is no surgery involved. They treat the symptoms by naturally dissolving the stones, and the chances of reoccurrence are next to nil. There are several homeopathic medicines for different types of stones. There are even differing types of medicinal products for left side kidney stone, and right side one. A type of medicine - Canthari, is widely used for treating kidney stones with a burning sensation. The homeopathy physician would be in a better position to diagnose once the causes are identified. However, care should be taken that the medicines should be taken only in the prescribed format and as per the guidance of the physician.
Homeopathy is safe
Of all the important functionalities of homeopathy, the biggest is undoubtedly that it does not cause any side effects and are very effective. Since it treats the condition and symptoms from within, the chances of getting a stone in the urinary tracts are minuscule when using homeopathy medicine.
Middle back pain indicates a discomfort or pain in the junction of the rib cage and the spine. This area is also known as the thoracic spine. The level of pain can vary from chronic, acute to mild depending on the nature of the underlying cause. With a right diagnosis, there are plenty of treatment options available to arrest the pain and aiming at a permanent cure.
Probable reasons for middle back pain?
- The lifting of heavy objects repeatedly or improperly can cause damage to the blood vessels and muscle tissue resulting in frequent pain in the back area.
- Discs are located in between the spinal vertebrae. They act as a cushion against shock and help in physical movement. An injured disc results in leaking of the liquid nucleus in its outer casting. This results in a strain in the surrounding tissues, ligaments and nerves pose a serious threat to the spine. A disc injury poses severe pain and discomfort in the middle back region.
- Often high impact accidents or violent falls can result in a vertebrae fracture. This kind of fracture necessarily has a co-relation with spine fracture and can result in intense middle back pain. In certain cases, a fractured vertebra can affect the spinal cord as well.
- Patients with osteoporosis can suffer from middle back pain too. This is a condition where the failure to regenerate old bone by the body poses a threat to the individual.
- People who are aged often faces middle back pain due to a condition such as the spinal stenosis- narrowing of the spinal cord.
- A condition known as the spondylitis that leads to inflammation of the spinal joints might lead to pain in the middle back area.
- Problems such as scoliosis can result in middle back pain. This happens due to the disruption of the weight distribution of the spine.
- Even tumors can upset the basic architecture of the spine leading to pressure on the tissues, nerves, and ligaments that result in middle back pain.
Symptoms of middle back pain:
Some of the typical symptoms of middle back pain include muscle spasms, sleeping problems, the stiffness of muscle in the morning, fatigue, weakness, tenderness, numbness in the back area, headache etc.
Probable causes, detection, and cure:
Some of the probable causes of back pain include obesity, family history, pregnancy, sedentary lifestyle etc. Over the counter medicine, heat and ice treatment, massage etc can be initially tried to get relief from the pain. If this does not fetch any result, a doctor must be immediately consulted. A Doctor first goes for a physical exam to understand the origin of the problem. He can recommend imagery tests such as MRI scan, CT scan etc. to further ensure the root cause of the problem. Once this is done, a doctor might suggest minimally invasive procedures such as fusion, discectomy, and microdiscectomy.
Inflammatory, chronic and systemic ailments can cause joint or connective tissue damage throughout the body along with fever, rash, hepato-spleenomegaly and arthritis in children. Juvenile arthritis is a persistent inflammatory disease that stays for at least 6 weeks and starts at an early age of less than 16 years with no particular cause detected for the same. This is more commonly found in among girls and is associated with physical as well as emotional stress and triggers any or a combination of symptoms such as irritability, listlessness, discomfort in walking, loss of weight without any apparent reason, loss of appetite, fever, swelling and pain in joint regions. In case your child is suffering from these problems, homeopathy can be of good help.
Homeopathy treats a patient as a whole along with his or her pathological conditions. The homeopathic medicines are prescribed after a complete evaluation and case-analysis of an individual that includes the clinical history of the child, physical as well as mental constitution. Some of the most commonly opted homeopathic medicines for treating juvenile arthritis are-
- Abrotanum: If your child is having trouble in moving causing marasmus of lower parts along with lameness and soreness, which is worse in the morning then this medicine, can help him or her. It is also effective in curing marasmus in children with remarkable emaciation, particularly of the leg where the skin is flabby and swung loose in multiple folds. Sometimes these symptoms are also added with constipation and diarrhoea where this medicine can be opted for.
- Aconite: In case the arthritis is causing drawing and tearing pains along the limbs with violent and acute pulling in the joint regions and bones, then Aconite can help. This medicine is normally recommended for acute arthritis in young people who lead a sedentary life with plethoric habit.
- Apis: When the juvenile arthritis causes swelling in the knee area with stringing soring pain then Apis can mitigate the pain. The pain can spread in the back portion and limbs with tired, bruised feeling and numbness in hands and finger tips. Sometimes hives are also formed with oedematous swellings along with intolerable itching as a symptom of juvenile arthritis. Apis is prescribed in all such cases.
If your child is suffering from this painful discomfort, then you must take him or her to a certified homeopathic doctor instead of administering the medicine without professional advice. With persistent treatment, your child will be able to lead a normal, healthy life like his or her peers and be completely relieved from the suffering.
Apart from affecting your memory, health and looks, sleep deprivation can lead to decreased sex function as well. People who have trouble sleeping have a difficult time coping with their relationships as with almost all aspects of their lives. Similarly, in the modern world of continuous work pressure and fast paced lifestyle, stress generally takes away all the energy required to enjoy a fulfilling sex life.
The following are some of the ways chronic sleep disorders and stress may affect your sex life:
- Mood swings: Sleep disorders often lead to perpetual mood swings. It can make a person grumpy and quarrelsome. If you're sleep deprived, you may get very agitated even by minor stress. This can hurt interaction between you and your partner, leading to a disruptive relationship in the bedroom.
- Anxiety: Increased levels of anxiety and stress attributed to lack of sleep can lead to loss of sexual function and even sexual disorders at times. Lack of sleep generally decreases your experience of positive emotions, which may lead to pessimism and subsequently lack of sexual interest.
- Decreased social activity: Lack of sleep may decrease your likelihood of engaging in social interactions. People with sleep disorders usually avoid social engagements, as they believe it may disrupt their sleep patterns. They rearrange their sleeping patterns by avoiding social interactions, which leaves them with lesser opportunities to meet with people of the opposite sex, thereby affecting their sex lives.
So, what you should do?
- Focus on getting rid of other stressful issues from your life: Common tensions of your daily life and everyday issues like the normal household chores, and your duties and responsibilities towards your family often leave you too exhausted to spend time with your partner. Moreover, getting preoccupied with social commitments also minimises the time available for just the two of you.
- Go to sleep and wake up at roughly the same time everyday to tune your sleep cycle. Avoid waking up late into night as far as possible.
- Avoid afternoon sleep or take only a nap.
- Don't take heavy foods, big and late meals.
- Eat at least 2-3 hrs before sleep.
- Avoid coffee and tea in the night.
- Don't get glued to the tv, computer, or mobile till sleep time. Shut them down 30 mins. before retiring to bed.
- Read something calming, meditate, or listen to quiet music just before sleeping.
- Regular workouts helps you get good sleep.
- Avoid serious discussions, work or complex decisions 2-3 hrs before sleep. If any of them bother you much, jot them down on a paper. That will lighten your mind help you get better sleep.
If sexual problems and concerns make you sleepless, seek help from a sex counselor. If your sleep problems are due to work in shifts or night-only shifts, take the help of a specialist in sleep problems. This way you can overcome sexual problems arising out of sleep disturbances, and have an improved sex life.
Midnight snack craving is basically a craving for food when you wake up in the middle of the night. Midnight cravings can lead to weight gain if you binge eat on a regular basis. It is important that you accept the situation and take steps to rectify it.
A majority of the foods that you consume are mostly empty calories such as cookies and sugar based food. If you don't control these cravings, then it may lead to tremendous weight gain. Here are a few tips to control your midnight snack craving -
- Eat your Dinner Properly: It is important that you eat a well-balanced dinner that consists of carbohydrates, protein and fats. If you don't eat a proper dinner, then the chances of eating later and subsequent binge eating go up drastically.
- Include Fiber: Add fiber to your diet as fiber helps you in feeling full. Eat fiber rich foods such as beans, lentils and broccoli which promote a feeling of satiety.
- Green Tea: Drink a cup of green tea after eating as it will help you sleep better.
- Stay Hydrated: Make sure that you are properly hydrated as it will prevent food cravings. Dehydration may also lead to other health complication such as skin problems.
- Consume Yoghurt: Consume portions of yoghurt as it contains probiotic bacteria that help in keeping your digestive system healthy. It also promotes a feeling of satiety as it contains protein.
- Plan an Activity: Don't immediately go to bed after dinner, instead go for a walk or play with your pet. Make sure that you spend some time after dinner prior to retiring for bed.
- Eat Healthy: If you do have cravings then go for healthy choices such as eating salads and fruits. Focus on foods such as cucumber, jackfruits and apples.
- Protein: Make sure you add protein to your diet as protein helps in muscle building. It also makes you fuller so that you eat less. Include foods such as eggs, chicken and fish to your diet.
- Exercise: Exercise on a regular basis. This increases the secretion of endorphins in your body which improve your wellbeing and promote happiness. It will help you sleep better and reduce your craving to eat unhealthy foods.
A particularly stressful situation or event that has created terror or been overly dramatic or dangerous can lead to stress and anxiety long after the individual has physically come out of the situation. This kind of a traumatic condition is usually what characterises Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD).
In simple words, PTSD is a neurological disorder which affects individuals after experiencing severe traumatic situations.
Symptoms of PTSD:
- Mood symptoms: mood swings are the most common outcome of these symptoms. The patient may experience a complete lack of enthusiasm and drive to indulge in activities like hobbies and socialising. Also, the patient may end up harbouring feelings of negativity towards family, friends and strangers, besides going through phases of guilt and self blame for the occurrence of the traumatic event.
- Re-experiencing symptoms: these symptoms include flashbacks and life like re-imagination in the form of dreams and nightmares. In many cases, the patient may remember and re-experience the entire scene or series of events that have led to the trauma in the first place. This can be triggered by a memory or association with words, events and other such things that have to do with the memory of the traumatic episode.
- Arousal symptoms: arousal or reactivity symptoms may trigger the same reactions that the person showed during the traumatic experience. These may include being on edge constantly in anticipation of a reoccurrence, or even getting startled by the slightest thing since the mind is already occupied with thoughts of the event, constantly. Anger and emotional outbursts may also be caused due to these symptoms.
- Avoidance or rumination: Those suffering from PTSD avoid being reminded of the trauma, such as people, situations or circumstances associated with the event. They try to suppress memories associated with the event.- Many others ruminate excessively and prevent themselves from coming to terms with it.
Duration of PTSD:
PSTD usually lasts up to six months. Yet, there are cases where it lingers on and requires treatment for some particular types of symptoms or behavioural changes.
Treatment for PTSD:
Mindfulness meditation (not a treatment option) helps in recognizing cognitive dissonances and affected thought patterns and aids in recognizing and overcoming their influence. Other therapies, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) are also done depending on the patient's condition.
Come winter or even a slight change of season, and it is easy to catch a cold. With cold, it is quite normal and natural to develop a deep chest cough. However, it is to be noted that chest cough develops due to different reasons. Some are due to chest infections, while others are dry cough. Thus, for these different variations of cough, different homeopathic treatments are administered. Here is a list of some of the common types of treatments for curing deep chest cough-
Pulsatilla: Pulsatilla is administered to those who have a sore throat, constant irritation in the eyes and fever. When fever is accompanied with cough and cold, it is important to treat all three symptoms, lest it might usher in a more serious disease. Homeopathy is often described as a holistic form of treatment. Through the medicines, the personality of the patient can be determined. For instance, Pulsatilla is administered on those who are soft, gentle, mild and timid and who have a fear of being abandoned and thus cling on to people.
Nux Vomica: Those experiencing high levels of stress and falling prey to cough and cold with a sore throat and sharp pain while swallowing should try a dose of Nux Vomica. This is used to cure cough and cold, which block the nose, especially at night, making it troublesome for the individual to breathe. This might also cause blockage in the ear and sharp pains while trying to swallow food.
Phosphorus: At times, one experiences an extreme bout of cough that is triggered through dry throat and coarse fever. This violent cough can be nerve wrecking at times and a relaxing remedy is preferred by the patient as soon as possible to soothe the irritation.
Bryonia: This is the best medicine to treat dry cough that can be a symptom of a slowly approaching influenza. Such coughs occurs when an individual takes a high intake of cold drinks or due to sudden weather changes. The cough is followed by fever and dryness of the throat. It might also itch to a certain extent.
Natrum Mur: It is the best treatment for a dry cough, which often causes a tingling sensation in the throat. This sensation creates irritation and often leads to sleepless nights for the patient. There is also presence of whitish mucus in such types of cough.
These are some of the most common types of homeopathic treatments for treating deep chest cough. Each cough is different in nature and origin, and hence should be treated differently as per the individual symptoms. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a homeopath and ask a free question.
Pain in the back can be due to a number of reasons. It may be habitual, occupational, sports-related, or idiopathic.
- Habitual pain is usually due to patients being habituated to a faulty posture.
- Occupational pain is related to professions, which require standing or driving for long hours or professions like dentists who need to have a bent posture for extended periods of time.
- Sports-related pain usually affects athletes or children who bend their back inadvertently during taking part in sports.
Apart from these, back pain may also occur due to unknown or unrelated reasons. Homeopathic is a great alternative compared to allopathic medicines because it has no side effects and the cure is long term. The several homeopathic medications that may be used for back pain are as follows:
- Sulphur: It is a great remedy for patients who have back pain due to a slouching posture and whose pain worsens when they stand up.
- Ruta Graveolens: It is the remedy of choice in cases the patient experiences stiffness in joint or muscles, accompanied with feeling of soreness and lameness all over the back.
- Aesculus: It is a good homeopathic remedy in cases of very low back pain, which gets worse when the patient tried to stand upright from a previously sitting position.
- Rhus Toxicodendron: It is a recommended medicine in cases of pain of the lower back, shoulders and neck. Pain is worsened by damp and cold weather and by movement. Relief to such pain is provided by massage, hot baths, and warm applications.
- Arnica: This homeopathic gel is popular for its good effect on soft tissues and muscular pain.
- Nux Vomica: It is a great remedy for cases where pain gets worse by damp and cold weather, especially at night and painful muscle cramps are experienced in the lower back.
- Ignatia: It is a good remedy for emotional distress and for pain in the muscles of the lower back.
- Natrum Muriaticum: It is indicated for use in the pain of the lower back, which gets better from lying down on a hard surface.
- Bryonia: It is recommended in cases of strong pain in the lower back that prevents the patient from even moving, turning from side to side in the bed, coughing, or making any kind of sudden movement.
- Kali Carbonicium: It is a good remedy for patients who have frequent and strong night pains, accompanied with increased back pain during menses.
In addition to these, there are other homeopathic remedies that are recommended in cases of back pain such as Cimifuga, Calcarea Carbonica, Calcarea Phosphorica, Dulcamara, etc. To accurately understand which medication needs to be taken under which condition, it's always wise to consult a homeopathic doctor before popping in any globules.
The onset of monsoon season brings in a sense of joy and peace to our mind – the cool raindrops, soothing winds, coy weather and our taste buds yearn for some hot tea with savoury snacks. Phew! It is finally a relief from the scorching summer heat. The change in weather also means it's time to change your skincare routine. This monsoon, pamper your skin with these tips and keep your skin feeling loved and fresh.
- Cleanse and remove the dirt: Monsoon brings in a lot of dust, which can settle on your skin and damage it, giving it a dull texture. So, it is important to cleanse your skin at least 3 times a day to remove the accumulated grime and oil that can clog your pores.
- Don't forget to tone: Use an alcohol-free toner to prevent dryness. An anti-bacterial toner is recommended to prevent breakout or infections in your skin during the monsoon.
- Moisturise for a radiant glow: Monsoon tends to have an extra dehydrating effect on dry skin or an over-moisturising effect on oily skin. Use a light lotion-based moisturizer for gentle hydration on your skin and leave your skin feeling soft and supple with a healthy look. For oily skin, use water-based moisturizer to keep the oil secretion in check.
- Continue using sunscreen: The rains do not mean it's time to stop using your sunscreen. The sun is still there and its UV rays can wreak havoc on your skin. Use a sunscreen even on a cloudy day.
- Avoid heavy makeup: Use water-proof makeup to prevent messy makeup in case of a sudden downpour. Also during monsoon, your skin is prone to catch dirt and infections. So, keep your makeup minimal and natural.
- Stay hydrated and watch your diet: Drink at least eight glasses of water in a day so that humidity does not make your skin look pale and dull. Also, watch what you are eating; it's good to keep away from oily snacks and eat wholesome meals.
- Use natural face packs: Facials and bleaching will make the skin rougher during the rainy season and so, it should be limited. Instead go for home-made natural face packs, based on your skin type and nourish your skin naturally.
- Take essential lip care: Prevent the lips from drying out and cracking. Avoid dark coloured lipsticks and use a good lip balm or apply milk cream regularly to prevent excessive drying.
- Use warm water: Don't go overboard by using steaming hot water to cleanse your skin. It will make your skin weak and cause damage.
Many people feel hungry throughout the day. They are lethargic until they lay their hands on food. These bouts of hunger go on like a vicious circle and if not resisted it can lead to health issues.
- A high- fiber diet can prevent unnecessary hunger- Your diet should be rich in fiber. Body takes a longer span of time to digest fiber rich food. It also makes you feel full for hours together. Having fiber will keep your bowel movements in control and is therefore healthy. Remember to add extra fiber to your bowl of cereals or salad to keep pangs of hunger at bay.
- Divide one heavy meal into two smaller meals- Eating heavy meals and that too less frequently is really bad for your health. This can make you feel hungry time and again. To control the constant rumbling inside your tummy, you should divide one big meal into two or more smaller meals. For instance, if you were supposed to eat sandwiches, boiled eggs and soup for lunch, you should probably eat sandwiches at noon and eat the soup and eggs any time later in the day.
- Never be a fast eater- Jumping on your food is the worst way of tackling things. Research studies show how a human brain takes more than twenty minutes to tell your body it is full and satisfied. If you don't wish to overeat throughout the day, you must consume your food slowly. This way the brain takes more time in realizing it is full and thus further time in feeling subsequent hunger.
- Eat sufficiently during mealtime- Many tend to eat inadequately during mealtime and as soon as they are done with their food they feel hungry. It is important to fill yourself sufficiently when you are already eating. A person snacking on carrots and corns can keep away from binge eating.
- Drink more glasses of water- Every person should drink around three to four liters of water. Drinking water half an hour after a meal can keep your gustatory concerns in check for long. Water keeps you hydrated, helps in digestion and controls unnecessary hunger.
- Eat a good amount of protein- Protein makes you full in very little time and thus doesn't need to be consumed in great quantities. It will make you feel content for long as your blood sugar levels are in balance through protein consumption. Protein takes time to be digested.
Almost every person salivates over desserts and sweets. One does not need a special occasion to get their sweet tooth going. While the lip smacking sugary delight might impress the taste buds, it is sure to affect the health in a big way. If you thought that sugar was only bad for your waistline and general health, then you need to know that it is equally harmful for your skin. In fact, it can lead to serious dermatological conditions.
Harmful effects of sugar on the skin
A lot of what we eat reflects on our body externally. A number of internal changes can influence the external appearance of the body. Excessive intake of carbohydrates, starch and sugar can have an adverse effect on the skin. It can also accelerate the ageing process. But what triggers these complications needs to be understood and discussed in detail.
Carbohydrates can be simple or complex. Simple carbohydrates (cake, bread; to name a few) break down and convert to glucose rapidly. Increased glucose level implies increased insulin level, and causes inflammation, which affects the whole body. The enzymes produced during inflammation breaks down important proteins, namely elastin and collagen, leading to wrinkles and saggy skin.
Acne problems mainly arise from Glycation (the process through which digested sugar attaches permanently to the collagen). Glycation plays a significant role in accelerating the ageing process.
Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, is good for health. When ingested, complex carbohydrates break down at a much slower rate. As a result, there is no abnormal increase in the insulin level.
Corrective measures to check the harmful effects of sugar on the skin:
With a little care and preventive measures, the deleterious effects of sugar on the skin can be minimised.
- Supplement your diet with foods rich in antioxidants. Lean proteins, fibrous foods and diets rich in good fats are highly recommended. Include beans and nuts that have low glycemic value in your diet. Drink plenty of water.
- Food items containing high amount of saturated fats (cheese, ice creams, fried foods; to name a few), and with high glycemic value should be strictly avoided.
- Do not compromise with your sleep. A sound sleep and a stress-free life is the mantra to a glowing and youthful skin.
- Practice meditation and yoga diligently. The rewarding and positive outcomes will leave you in awe.
- Do not skip your meals or indulge in overeating. Have small servings at regular intervals.
Meditation is one of the holistic approaches that can offer you great success in sex life. Some poses in meditation can boost your sexual life, and you got to practice them on a regular basis in order to get maximized effects. There are many people who think that meditation can increase libido flow and sexual desire, but this is totally a wrong conception.
Though you will have instant effects by medication but the effects will not last for long, and on the other hand, you might even experience a lot of unwanted side-effects. This is the reason medications have now been successfully replaced by means of sexual meditation which is completely natural and safe. You can have consultation with any professional meditation expert for getting immense knowledge on sexual meditation.
Benefits of Meditation in Sexual Life-
Brings Energetic Sex: If you meditate in a peaceful mind for long hours, then your mind and body will have greater rest as a result of which you can get highest energy and stamina in lovemaking with your partner. You will receive a good amount of sleep during the night time and thus can show huge energy during sexual playtime.
Inviting Better Orgasm: If your mental stress gets decreased, then only your concentration level will increase. This concentration level is needed for boosting sexual thoughts, which automatically lead to satisfactory orgasm. Different kinds of mental blockages causing interruption in sexual arousal can be eliminated from the root by practicing meditation. If you have a satisfactory orgasm, then your nerves will also get relaxed, and you can get improved mental and physical rest.
Avoids Distraction: You will never get distracted rather you will always remain focused on your partner. In this way, you will automatically get seduced without any kind of external provocation and thus healthy sexual interaction can be resulted. You can now get the fullest energy of continuing your lovemaking sessions for long hours without any kind of interruptions or distractions.
Improve Sexual Relationship: Differences in between you and your partner can be easily resolved, and thus your sex life can be improved. If you have personal or relationship issues, then you cannot even think of physical intimacy. This is the reason proper meditation is required. Meditation can help you to get rid of married-life complications that usually stand as the main barriers of sex life.
A fibroid tumour is made up of muscle cells that have escaped and come together to create a knot or a mass in the uterus. These tumours can occur due to a family history, and are usually known to occur for women patients nearing menopause. One of the most common symptoms is unusually heavy menstrual cycles. Let us walk you through the rest of the details.
* Types: Fibroid tumours can be of three types, mainly depending on the location. While submucosal fibroids can be found just under the lining of the uterus, intramural fibroids can be found between the muscles that lie on the walls of the uterus. Finally, the third type - subserol fibroids - go beyond the uterine wall to enter the pelvic cavity.
* Symptoms: Usually, there are no symptoms of these kinds of fibroids. There may be heavy bleeding during the monthly menstrual cycle, as well as swelling and pain in the abdomen. Also, prolonged bleeding is common when these kinds of tumours are present in the body.
* Cause: Fibroid tumours are mostly caused due to an overgrowth of the cells beyond the muscular walls that line the uterus. In such cases, the growth is further fuelled by hormones like estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are usually at their highest level in the body, during the child bearing years of a woman. During menopause, these tumours are known to shrink before they eventually vanish. It is very rare to find malignancy in such tumours.
* Risk: Are you at risk? Well, that depends on your age, family medical history, weight and in some cases, even the ethnicity. These tumours are mostly found in women who are between the age of 30 to 40 years and continues through menopause. Obesity is also a major reason that gives rise to this condition. Further, women of colour are known to develop this more easily while a family history can also increase your chances of the same.
* Tests and Diagnosis: A pelvic exam and an ultrasound as well as a history of your menstrual cycle will help the doctor in determining whether or not you are suffering from this condition.
* Treatment: Non steroid anti inflammatory drugs can help in bringing down the swelling and pain, especially in cases where there is heavy menstrual bleeding. Birth control pills and patches with hormones can also help in such cases. Further, progesterone shots and iron supplements may be prescribed. Very severe cases may require surgery for removal with a myomectomy.
Remember to visit your doctor in case you see any nagging symptoms of fibroid tumours.
Eating healthy is a key to an active life. It sometimes becomes difficult to choose a particular diet plan as you are not too sure about what to eat that will help you lose weight. The best way to lose weight is to eat natural foods which help in maintaining your waistline than processed foods which promise the same. Following is a list of 7 very basic natural foods which help you lose weight and also takes care of your health:
- Broccoli - Broccoli is one of the most effective foods which can help you lose weight. It contains several micronutrients and phytochemicals which aid in weight loss by breaking down fats. Broccoli is rich in dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins and low in calories and yet satisfies your hunger. You can eat it raw, cooked or as a healthy snack. Add this green vegetable to your regular diet and hasten your weight loss process.
- Oats - Oats is a healthy addition to your diet as it high on nutrients and fiber. You should include it in the regular diet for at least 4 times a week if you want to lose weight. You can customize your serving to add more nutritional value to your meal. Avoid sugary toppings as they are high in calories and do not promote weight loss. Do not consume oats with added flavors or any other synthetic ingredients.
- Apples - Apples are low in calories and rich in fiber. It is a perfect snack which is sweet and satisfying at the same time. It not only helps you to lose weight but also effectively controls your blood cholesterol. Apples contain antioxidants which have a lot of health benefits other than aiding weight loss. Fresh apples are considered to be even more effective in this regard.
- Cabbage - Cabbage contains only 17 calories in a serving and is one of the best foods for weight loss. You can cook it in olive oil and season it with herbs and add it to your regular diet. Cabbage also helps fight cancer among its other beneficial qualities. It reduces your calorie intake and also satisfies your appetite. It also acts as a natural detox and works wonders for your overall health.
- Black beans - Black beans are one of the most satisfying proteins which you can consume during weight loss. They are rich in fiber and protein and keep you full for a long time. They contain soluble fiber which helps you fight cholesterol problems. The insoluble fiber in black beans maintains your digestive system and regulates the bowels.
- Fruit yogurt - You can see visible results if you cut down your overall calorie intake and supplement it with yogurt in your regular diet. The calcium in yogurt restricts the production of cortisol and controls your appetite. Yogurt also contains amino acids which contribute in burning fat. You can add fruits like blueberry or aloe vera to your yogurt to make it a tastier and healthier snack.
- Whole bean salad - Whole bean salad is simple to prepare and is a very healthy snack. It is filling and keeps your hunger pangs at bay. You can put bell peppers and sweet corn to add flavors and toss it in olive oil to keep it healthy.

Struggling truck manufacturer Navistar International (NYSE:NAV[1]) has managed to prevent a proxy battle with activist investor Carl Icahn[2].
The company has replaced two members of its board, adding investor Mark Rachesky, who controls about 15% of Navistar shares, and Vincent Intrieri, who will represent Icahn. A third member, chosen by Icahn and Rachesky, will be added later, Bloomberg noted.
Navistar's move came after Icahn, who owns 14.9% of Navistar shares, sent a letter to the board in September threatening a proxy fight in addition to a lawsuit if the company didn't provide investors with four seats on its board.
Icahn has been sharply critical of Navistar's management. The company has posted $241 million in losses so far this year, while its shares have fallen 40%. In August, former CEO Dan Ustian stepped down after the company abandoned a long-running effort to get government approval for a new engine.
In June, Navistar's board approved a "poison pill" strategy to defend against a potential takeover.
The three boards seats appear to have at least temporarily mollified Icahn, who issued a statement applauding the decision and pledging to work with the board to increase the company's value.
Shares of Navistar fell fractionally in Tuesday morning trading.

Hi, I'm not very skilled when it comes to maintenance. I left my GPZ for service recently hoping that it will help with some of the problems I had in last few weeks. Basically when I reach 6000rpm bike starts to choke and loses power. I think that this is down to filters but may be wrong.
I paid £130 for service but it didn't include changing air filter and spark plugs (which in my opinion is pretty basic and should be covered), anyway bike did over 7k miles since I bought it and this was first service.
What would be your guess? If you think air filter and spark plugs will help I can do it myself, if it's something more complicated I will take it back to service. Thanks for any advice

BAGHDAD, March 10 (UPI) -- Peter Maurer, the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, said Monday from Iraq humanitarian aid is hard to come by because of the violence.
Maurer arrived Monday in Iraq for a four-day visit with political and religious leaders. Upon his arrival, he said ongoing violence in the western province of Anbar was taking its toll on civilians.
"We urge everyone involved in fighting to spare civilians and allow humanitarian and medical personnel to carry out their duties in safety," he said in a statement.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite, is struggling to stabilize a country witnessing a rise in al-Qaida activity, particularly in western Anbar province. U.S. officials have said al-Qaida is exploiting political divisions between Shiite and Sunni leaders in the country.
Maurer said the ICRC has provided assistance to more than 52,000 people displaced from Anbar since conflict erupted in late 2013.
Last week, Adrian Edwards, a spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, said parts of Fallujah, the provincial capital, are under siege.
A government cease-fire ended last week and the UNHCR says violence has since erupted on the outskirts of the city.
U.S. forces twice battled Fallujah insurgents before ending combat operations in 2011.

Mike the Knight has come to Warwick Castle for his summer holidays this year. Mike is spending two weekends at the castle: 29-30 June and 6-7 July to celebrate the launch of his modern-day Chivalrous Code. As well as the usual Warwick Castle attractions , there are loads of Mike the Knight activities available on these weekends. We were invited along to meet up with Mike and to enjoy a day out at Warwick Castle.
As part of the Mike the Knight celebrations, three ten ton sand sculptures have been created by Raymond Wirick, an expert sand sculptor. There's one of Warwick Castle itself, another of Buckingham Palace, as well as this one of Mike's home at Glendragon. There's a large sandpit too, so children can make their own sandcastle and take part in a competition to create Britain's Ultimate Sandcastle (the winner gets lots of Mike the Knight goodies and a Warwick Castle annual pass).
Near the Stables Courtyard entrance you'll find the Mike the Knight activity area. Children can try out a wide range of activities collecting stickers on their Mike the Knight record chart as they go. Much fun was had here, H very much enjoyed Mike's Target Test (pictured here) and Galahad's Gallop (hobby horse racing) in particular. The run away favourite though, for us, was the Dragon Egg Hunt, which takes you throughout the lovely grounds of Warwick Castle to find dragon eggs by following the clues. The boys were keen to find every clue. We got halfway through before lunch and they were determined to finish the challenge afterwards.
Through the day there were opportunities available to meet Mike himself and have your picture taken with him.
We enjoyed wandering round the castle too. The trebuchet is very impressive to watch as it fires its stone missiles through the air. The Warwick Warriors battling in the castle courtyard is an absolute must as a piece of theatre and as a bit of an education about medieval battles. Watching knights fighting is a small boy's dream and there was much talk about the show in the car on the way home, so it had clearly made an impression. We also had the chance to visit Merlin: The Dragon Tower. This is a very atmospheric attraction based to the children's TV series. I don't want to spoil things, but expect magic, smoke, smells and dragons. What's really clever about it is the personalisation of the experience which draws you in and makes it seem more real.
Warwick Castle is a great place for a day out: there's plenty to do and the castle is magnificent. We really enjoyed our day out and will visit again in the future.

According to an NBC News report, A Boston man who had been listed as a witness against James "Whitey" Bulger was found dead, but there was no obvious sign of trauma and an autopsy was underway, officials said Thursday.
Stephen "Stippo" Rakes had long claimed that Bulger and his Winter Hill Gang henchmen forced him at gunpoint, while they threatened his young daughter, to sell his liquor store for $65,000.
But earlier this month, another witnesses, former Bulger associate Kevin Weeks, testified that Rakes wanted to sell the shop and tried to shake down the gangsters for more money, sparking a confrontation in which guns were pulled.
Rakes, 59, was on the prosecution's list of witnesses to testify against Bulger, 83, who is on trial for racketeering and murder after spending 16 years on the lam as one of the nation's most-wanted fugitives.
According to the Boston Globe, though, he was told Tuesday afternoon that he would not be called to the stand, depriving him of the opportunity to rebut Weeks' account.

ForumsQuestionsRepeat without a date or time?
Repeat without a date or time?
Posted: Sep 09, 2012
Good Day
I was wondering if there is a way to repeat a task without a day attached to it?
For example, say I have a task without a due date. I would like it to repeat (also without a due date) when I check it off.
I guess one way would be to clone the task before I check it off but I would like to be automatic if possible.
Is this possible and how would I go about it?
Toodledo Admin
Unfortunately, this isn't possible, but it is on our to-do list. However, we do not comment on timeframes for implementation.
None of my tasks have a due date (all have a start date - I more-or-less use the method described by Michael Linenberger http://michaellinenberger.com/free1MTD.htm), and many of them are recurring tasks.
If you want those tasks to repeat several times on the same day, I guess this is not possible.
But otherwise you could set the repeat to 'daily' and 'from completion date', and give the task as start date 'today'
When you complete such a task today, it will be again in your list with start date tomorrow. (Of course, it won't be visible today, unless you create a search that includes tasks with start date tomorrow. When it is a task you'd like to complete a second time today, just check it off again, and since you have it set to repeat 'from completion', the 'new' start date is again tomorrow.
Now, when there is a task that you want to be able to complete several times a day, you could start by creating one instance of the task with start date today and daily repeat from completion. Then make as many clones from the task as you will at most do in a day. (Want to repeat 'drink a glass of water' 6 to 8 times a day? Create 8 clones of the task. Every time you check one off, it will disappear, and reappear on your list for tomorrow...)

If you've enjoyed reading my daily blogs on speedonthewater.com half as much as I've enjoyed writing them, you're lucky. My goal is to provide you with something informative, useful and entertaining about high-performance boating five days a week. (Yes, I take weekends off, but you're not online much then anyway ... you save that for the office.)
But there's a bigger picture here. My blog and the entire speedonthewater website are part of BoaterMouth.com, which is set to launch Tuesday. BoaterMouth consists of daily blogs written by marine journalists, each of whom has a specialty. Mine happens to be, if you haven't guessed by now, high-performance. Makes sense, given that I've written for Powerboat magazine for more than 15 years.
Much as I love to think your boating world begins and ends with mine, I know it doesn't. Some of you own yachts, so Diane Byrne's BoaterMouth blog will be right up your alley. Some of you dig fishing, which means you'll get tons out of the blogs written by Lenny Rudow and Pete MacDonald. Up for a yacht charter? Kim Kavin's blog (Kim is the founder of BoaterMouth and Charterwave.com) will give you everything you need to know, every day. And for the world of marine electronics, you can't do any better than Ben Ellison's blog and website, panbo.com. I know you go-fast guys like to at least pretend you hate personal watercraft (but still own them and play on them), which is why you'll get all kinds of great stuff from Jeff Hemmel's blog.
You might recognize some of these names, and these are just half of the exceptional writers blogging for BoaterMouth every day. That's because they've also written (and many of them still write) for marine magazines including Boating, Yachting, Power and Motoryacht and more. When it comes to their market segments, they are the best writers in the business. They'll keep it fresh, five days a week, in real time.
Please check out BoaterMouth when it goes live Tuesday. Having been with Boats.com since it was founded and still contributing a bi-weekly column there, I can pretty much guarantee that BoaterMouth will be full of bugs. Let me know about them. You can email me through speedonthewater.com
BoaterMouth is a new world in boating media. I think you're going to love it.

Time to be rejuvinated... i need all the advice i can get.
1 Attachment(s)
OK im 20 years old in high school my life was basketball, all i did was play year round and work out, i was in amazing shape and as u can see from the pic below since iv graduated iv layed off to long on exercise. I got mixed up in alcohol and its run my life for the past yr and a half and the beer has added lbs to my body that almost feel like i can never get rid off. Im sober now and ready to back into the gym and hit the weights..... i havent lifted in that yr cept for recently to get a judge of where im at i maxed out and to my surprise i got at least 255.... im looking to get cut and for some massive gains.... if u can someone point me in the direction of what might be the best work out program and diet plan.... id be very greatful thank u.
Lots of people go thru a few years of drinking so don't worry about that. It's good that you have cut back or stopped , it will help you with gains .
It would help us if we knew what your doing now. How are you eating ? Are you training at all ?
There is some good info in the stickies (training , nutrition) read them and you will have a good starting point.
well as i said i havent really done much of anything at all just partying, but im about to start back playing full court pick up games 3 days a week thats my cardio, and eating wise i just eat 3 meals a day i havent watched what i eat or anything..... im just wondering whats a good work out to see good gains.... i looked at one called the slingshot weight program and a few others i just dont know what i should go with
a good workout......starts with diet.
6 meals a day...lean proteins....whole grain carbs...fruits...veggies.
Another big one, is to do compound exercises. I never saw results until I started doing them!!
i'd be happy where your at now, i'd just continue bulking clean like say up to 320lb then cut. your tall so its gonna be tougher to look big? well good luck
Diet is the key, high protein with quality carbs in the right ratios

text: So I clipped my fingernails last night, and I cut them a little too close, and now they're in pain, ans I'm sure some of you know. I have a concert on Thursday, and I was wondering if they'd probably be better by then. Not a big deal, though. Anyone else have fingernail issues?

Erlotinib Combined With Gemcitabine in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer or Other Solid Tumors
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Erlotinib may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining erlotinib with gemcitabine may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining erlotinib with gemcitabine in treating patients who have newly diagnosed locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer or other solid tumors.
|Pancreatic Cancer Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific
|Drug: erlotinib hydrochloride Drug: gemcitabine hydrochloride
|Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase Ib Multicenter Trial To Determine The Safety, Tolerance And Preliminary Antineoplastic Activity Of Gemcitabine Administered In Combination With Escalating Oral Doses Of OSI-774 To Patient Cohorts With Recently Diagnosed, Gemcitabine-Naive, Advanced Pancreatic Carcinoma Or Other Potentially Responsive Malignancies
|Study Start Date:
|June 2001
|Study Completion Date:
|April 2004
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of erlotinib in combination with gemcitabine in patients with recently diagnosed, gemcitabine-naive, locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic carcinoma or other potentially responsive solid tumor.
- Determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine the objective antitumor response rate and response duration in patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine the time to disease progression and duration of overall survival in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of erlotinib.
Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of weeks 1-7 and oral erlotinib once daily beginning on day 3 of week 1 and continuing for 8 weeks (course 1). Patients receive subsequent courses of therapy comprising gemcitabine once weekly for 3 weeks and erlotinib once daily. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of erlotinib until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, 12 additional patients are accrued and treated at the MTD as above.
Patients are followed at 30 days.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 30 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 months.

BRADENTON — Pirates pitcher A.J. Burnett was struck in the face by a ball Wednesday and will fly to Pittsburgh to have his right eye examined.
Burnett was injured as he hit during a bunting drill. After the ball hit the temple near his right eye, Burnett dropped into a crouch near home plate. Nearby players gasped then went quiet as Burnett sagged to his knee.
As he was examined, Burnett joked, "Where did the bone go?"
Holding a towel against his face, Burnett was helped off the field and left the complex without speaking to reporters. The Pirates released no details of Burnett's injury.
More Pirates: Trevor Gooby, director of Florida operations, delivered a baby when a fan went into labor at an event Tuesday night at McKechnie Field. "We were waiting for the ambulance, and she kept saying, 'This baby's coming,' " Gooby said. "She gave one push. The baby came out, and I caught it." The baby, a boy who was born five weeks early, will be named McKechnie.
A's: Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes could arrive at camp as soon as this weekend, general manager Billy Beane said. Cespedes, who agreed to a four-year, $36 million contract, must obtain a worker's visa before he can join the team. "There have been no hiccups," Beane said. "And we think the process is winding down."
Cardinals: Postseason stars David Freese and Allen Craig will make slightly more than the major-league minimum this season. Freese, a third baseman and NLCS and World Series MVP, agreed to a one-year deal worth $508,000, $28,000 above the minimum of $480,000 in the majors and $249,600 in the minors. Craig, a leftfielder who hit three homers in the World Series, will make $495,000 and $248,400. Because they have less than three years of experience, they are not eligible for arbitration or free agency.
Diamondbacks: The team and catcher Miguel Montero ended talks on a multiyear contract until after this season, when he will be a free agent. The sides avoided arbitration when Montero signed a one-year deal worth $5.9 million. General manager Kevin Towers declined to say how close the sides were. Montero, 28, said he has no "hard feelings."
Giants: Second baseman Freddy Sanchez took ground balls and threw to first for the first time since he dislocated his right shoulder June 10. Manager Bruce Bochy said he hopes Sanchez can play in a game by the second week of March.
Mariners: Centerfielder Franklin Gutierrez will miss at least four weeks — and likely longer — with a partial tear of his right pectoral muscle. He was injured Tuesday while making a throw from the outfield.
Marlins: Rightfielder Mike Stanton said he wants to be called by his birth name, Giancarlo (JEE'-ahn-cahr-loh). His full name is Giancarlo Cruz Michael Stanton. He's not Italian, and Giancarlo isn't a family name. His parents just liked it. Stanton started to go by Mike during elementary school, when teachers and classmates had trouble pronouncing Giancarlo.
Rangers: Japanese import Yu Darvish threw 35 pitches to two minor-leaguers during a 10-minute session. Catcher Mike Napoli said the right-hander used all seven pitches: two-seam fastball, four-seam fastball, split-finger fastball, curve, slider, cutter and changeup. Darvish is next scheduled to throw during Friday's intrasquad game then face the Padres on Wednesday.
Red Sox: Outfielder Ryan Kalish, who had offseason surgeries on his neck and left shoulder, said he "felt good," after throwing for the first time. Kalish, who made about 30 throws from about 45 feet, is still expected to be out until June.
Twins: First baseman Justin Morneau, who played 69 games last year because of a concussion, said he hopes to play in Saturday's opener against the Rays.

More than 100 items have been listed for discussion during the meeting of Telangana State Cabinet scheduled to be held on Saturday.
The cabinet meeting, to be held at the State Secretariat, will be chaired by Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao. The issues likely to be discussed by the cabinet include filling up of vacancies in different departments, regularisation of contract employees, increase in pay for outsourcing workers, waiver of electricity and water bills in GHMC limits and issues.
According to sources, the Chief Minister is extremely happy with the party's performance in Warangal by-elections where TRS candidate P. Dayakar registered a historic victory. Further, the TRS won 10 out of 12 seats in the recently held MLC elections. Therefore, in view of encouraging results, KCR is likely to announce some major sops for the residents of Hyderabad in view of forthcoming GHMC elections. (INN)

Net retail sales have fallen by 40 per cent in 2011 to stand at £18bn, according to figures from the Investment Management Association.
The figure is down from the £29.3bn recorded in 2010 with the IMA citing a more cautious stance in the second half of 2011 on the back of the eurozone crisis.
Investors poured money into the former IMA cautious managed sector and balanced funds last year as the eurozone crisis dominated sentiment, the latest statistics show.
The IMA says the cautious managed sector was the highest selling space of 2011, with net retail sales amounting to £3.4 billion over the 12-month period.
The IMA £ strategic bond was in second place with net sales of £2.8 billion, followed by the global sector with £2.2 billion.
In terms of sales by asset, balanced funds led the pack with net retail sales of £5.6 billion. The £4.5 billion inflows to bond funds put that class in second place.
The largest outflows were witnessed in the Europe excluding UK sector, which lost £679m in 2011. Asia Pacific excluding Japan and European smaller companies also saw high outflows.
Furthermore, £100m was withdrawn from money market funds – the only asset class to see net retail outflows across the year.
IMA chief executive Richard Saunders says 2011 was "a year of two halves", with the opening six months maintaining the strong sales of 2009 and 2010.
"Investors turned much more cautious in the second half of the year, perhaps unsettled by the eurozone crisis," he adds.
"This caution was reflected also in asset choices, with some outflow from equity funds in the second half and money going instead into bond funds and balanced funds."
The IMA Cautious Managed sector was replaced by the Mixed Investment 20 – 60 per cent Shares sector on January 1.

OverviewThis is probably the easiest way up Swisshelm, at around 6 miles RT and 2900' of gain. Other possibilities exist, including ridges to the north and south, but I'll leave that for someone else to explore!
Getting ThereSee directions on the main page.
Route DescriptionFrom where you parked, look for the faint road dipping into the drainage to the south, and follow it. After popping up the other side, continue on the road as it heads mostly south to round a ridge spur before heading up the lower slopes of the range. At one point, the road splits, with the main track appearing to go left; however, stay on the fainter track to your right. You'll know you took the right path if you see a faint sort of 4-way intersection shortly thereafter (stay straight).
As you continue up the road, you'll see why parking was advised where it was! The road is narrow, rocky, overgrown with catclaw, and offers virtually no places to park or turn around. It does however offer an easy avenue to the base of the steep stuff. At 5400', there will be a faint road heading right and traversing the hillside, quickly ending in a sort of gravel/talus pit in a gully. Take it--now the fun begins!
Cross the gravel pit in the drainage and begin heading uphill on the other side. The brush is moderately thick here, and progress may be a bit slow. Ahead is a bunch of catclaw, which is a pain (literally!) to get through, though most can be dodged if you're careful with route-finding. Once past the catclaw, continue uphill to a sort of shoulder on the ridge above, and if the catclaw has discouraged you, take heart--it actually keeps getting easier from here on out!
Atop the shoulder, the ridge briefly abates, but then continues up at a moderately steep pitch pretty much all the way to the ridge. The vegetation lightens up, and rocky obstacles are few and can be clambered over or easily avoided, depending on your preference. Finally, 1400 vertical feet after leaving the road, reach a cliff band that is your final obstacle blocking the way to the crest of the ridge. Simply sidehill and bypass it on the right, and you'll finally top out on the ridge and start getting some nice views toward Swisshelm, and to the Chiricahuas.
Turn right and pretty much just follow the ridge until you can go no higher! You'll go over two minor bumps on the ridge--maybe 100' tall at most--which are honestly easiest just to go straight over. At times, there are faint game trails following the crest of the ridge that will ease progress, but you can do fine without them. The true summit is hidden until you've done most of the uphill, but when it pops into view, it's only a few easy minutes away. Reach the top, and enjoy the views!
For the descent: we took a slight variation that may make your life easier on the way down, but could be hard to find on the way up. Once you're back on the steep ridge heading down, and have reached the minor abatement above the catclaw, head somewhat more NW (to descender's right) and follow the relatively-catclaw-free slopes down to just before an obvious drainage. Don't try to get into/cross the drainage, but stay just above it on easier ground. If you can find the faint segments of trail/path here, it will make progress through this area fairly easy, and take you back to the gravel pit, from which you can rejoin the road.
