What is Ice Melt? Selecting The Best Ice Melt For Your Facility
Winter months are quickly approaching and that means ice and snow are on the way, and slick sidewalks and slippery parking lots are also on the horizon. As a business owner, you are likely familiar with the increased dangers of wintery weather and the associated dangers that come with slippery sidewalks and entryways.
Before the first snowfall, it is important to take the necessary steps to reduce or eliminate hazardous icy conditions outside your facility. The best way to avoid slips and falls due to icy sidewalks, parking lots, and entryways are with the use of the right ice melt.
In this article, we will go over the different types of ice melt and what to consider when choosing the best one for your facility.
What is Ice Melt?
Ice melt is generally applied in advance of snow and ice or applied on top of the already formed ice and snow.
Ice melt or deicer lowers the freezing point of water, preventing the buildup of ice or breaking up pre-formed ice into liquid slush. It breaks the bond between the pavement or concrete and the ice for easier removal and the future prevention of ice and snow build-up.
Why are there different types of ice melt?
Although all deicer aims to melt ice, not all perform in the same conditions. Each type of ice melt compound will be effective in different applications when considering the product's freezing temperature, form, shape, and effect on the environment.
Choosing the Best Ice Melt
There are many different types of ice melt, and there are several considerations when choosing the best ice melt for your facility. Understanding the conditions you will be using the ice melt in will allow you to choose the most effective compound.
When selecting an ice melt there are 6 things to consider to choose the best one:
- Climate
- Residual Deicing
- Environmental considerations
- Ice Melt Form
- Ice Melt Shape
- Price
1. Climate
The first consideration when selecting an ice melt is to be aware of the product's lowest effective temperature.
Ice melt works by lowering the freezing point of water. Each chemical compound used in ice melt has a different working temperature.
Using a product beyond its lowest effective temperature range will result in reduced or no ice removal. For example, applying an ice melt with a lowest effective temperature of 20°F in temperatures lower than 20°F will not allow the product to remove ice as quickly or effectively.
In extremely cold temperatures, ice melt that releases heat or is "exothermic", will perform better. Some exothermic ice melt can be effective in temperatures as low as -25°F. Cold temperatures restrict the amount of moisture on top of ice, making it hard for ice melt to absorb liquid to work. Exothermic compounds release its own heat that increases the amount of moisture on the ice, allowing it to produce greater amounts of liquid solution (or brine) to penetrate through ice.
In moderately cold temperatures, "endothermic" deicers can be used to effectively remove ice. Endothermic ice melt works better in milder temperatures typically 20°F and above. Rather than releasing heat, endothermic deicers draw heat from the surroundings to dissolve.
2. Residual De-icing
The chemical makeup of the ice melt will affect how long the product continues to provide de-icing action after being applied. Ice melts with longer residual action will reduce the frequency in which ice melt will need to be applied in the future. Products which have longer residual action may be more expensive but will save costs on the amount of ice melt used and the labor needed to apply the ice melt.
In general, liquid ice melts typically provide longer residual action because they continue as brines for an increased amount of time when compared to solid ice melt.
3. Environmental Considerations
Another consideration when selecting the right ice melt is how the chemical compound will affect the surrounding areas of your facility. Each ice melt compound can have a range of negative effects on the natural (plants, animals, waterways, fish) and manmade (doorways, grates) areas it comes into contact with.
Vegetation (Plant Life)
Increasing concern for the environment and the use of sustainable products may require you to search for ice melt which is non-toxic or non-harmful to vegetation and animals. Ice melt is easily caught in run-off water and can contaminate groundwater. Vegetation and animal life can be affected by the salts in the run-off water.
Some ice melts have a lower risk of potential environmental damage and water pollution. For example, sodium chloride can be damaging to surrounding trees and plants but sodium acetate products are formulated to be more environmentally responsible.
Hardscapes (Concrete, brick, stone, pavement, metal grates, etc.)
Certain chemicals can be corrosive to hard surfaces like concrete, pavement, or metals under the ice.
For example, salt-based deicers can penetrate porous stone, freeze, and cause the surface to expand, resulting in flakes or cracks. Salts can also cause metal railings, grates, and door frames to rust or corrode.
4. Ice Melt Form
Ice melt is available in solid or liquid form. The most popular ice melt is solid pellets.
Solid ice melt works by absorbing moisture from the top of the ice, permeating downward, and creating a solution (or sometimes brine) to soften the bond between the ice and the ground surface. Solid ice melt is applied using a sand or salt spreader. Liquid ice melt is applied using a push or backpack sprayer.
5. Ice Melt Shape
Solid ice melt is available in different shapes. Round or evenly shaped ice melt has been found to be most effective at removing ice when compared to irregularly shaped or flaked particles.
Round, solid deicers melt downward and outward evenly, allowing them to rapidly cut straight down through the ice to the ground, resulting in quicker ice removal.
Irregularly shaped particles melt horizontally as much as they do vertically downward, increasing the amount of time it takes to penetrate all the way down to the ground.
6. Price
The price of ice melt will vary on chemical make-up and manufacturer. In general, the following compounds are listed from most to least expensive.
- Sodium Acetate
- Potassium Chloride
- Urea
- Calcium Chloride
- Magnesium Chloride
- Blends
- Rock Salt
Comparing Types of Ice Melt:
Understanding what to look for in an ice melt can help give a better idea of which compound will be most effective in your facility. Below we go over some of the most important features of each type of ice melt.
Based on the approximate lowest effective melting temperature, we ranked the 7 most common types of ice melt:
- Calcium Chloride
- Magnesium Chloride
- Sodium Acetate
- Sodium Chloride
- Potassium Chloride
- Urea
- Blends
Keep in mind that the lowest effective temperature will vary by manufacturer.
1. Calcium Chloride Ice Melt
- Calcium chloride ice melt is the most effective ice melt in lower temperatures when compared to other ice-melt compounds. It is less expensive than sodium acetate but more expensive than other compounds.
- On contact with ice or snow, it attracts moisture to quickly form a brine (liquid solution) which lowers the freezing point of water and produces heat, causing the ice to melt.
- Products containing calcium chloride are some of the fastest-acting ice melt and most tolerant of colder temperatures.
- It is a good choice for facilities with concrete.
- Lowest Melting Temperature: -25°F
2. Magnesium Chloride Ice Melt
- It is slow acting and more expensive than some of the other ice melt products.
- Magnesium chloride is exothermic (releases heat), and is effective in colder temperatures.
- It is less corrosive than calcium chloride or sodium chloride, and slightly more environmentally friendly toward plant life.
- Lowest Melting Temperature: 0°F
3. Sodium Acetate Ice Melt
- This is one of the most environmentally friendly options because it does not contain any chlorides and is biodegradable. It is the most expensive option.
- Sodium acetate does not cause corrosion to metals.
- It has a longer residual effect, so you don't have to reapply as often.
- Sodium acetate (NAAC) is approved by the FAA for use on commercial airport runways.
- Lowest Melting Temperature: 0°F
4. Sodium Chloride (Rock Salt) Ice Melt
- Sodium chloride, also referred to as rock salt, is one of the most widely used ice melts.
- It is also the least expensive ice melt.
- Rock salt is endothermic (draws heat from its surroundings), making it is less effective in cold temperatures.
- Rock salt is moderately corrosive to metals and leaves behind a whitish, powdery residue.
- If applied appropriately it can be safe for the environment but too much accumulation will kill plants.
- Lowest Melting Temperature: 20°F
5. Potassium Chloride Ice Melt
- Potassium chloride is hardly used anymore because it is expensive and is not as effective as other compounds.
- It is not considered an environmentally friendly option.
- Potassium chloride is not as effective in colder temperatures.
- Lowest Melting Temperature: 25°F
6. Urea
- Urea is most commonly used as a fertilizer. It contains nitrogen which may seem desirable but when not applied correctly or in excess can burn vegetation.
- Similar to potassium chloride, urea is hardly used as ice melt anymore.
- Urea is not effective in colder temperatures.
- Lowest Melting Temperature: 25°F
7. Blends
- Ice melt can be sold with a combination of the above chemicals. They typically combine sodium chloride with one of the other more expensive types of chloride.
- Each chemical blend will vary in corrosiveness, environmental impact, and lowest effective melting temperature.
- Blends can help extend an ice melts efficacy in lower temperatures.
- For example, sodium and magnesium chloride can be blended to melt ice and snow faster than rock salt at temperatures as low as -12° F.
Final Thoughts
Different ice melt compounds have different levels of effectiveness in different conditions. Each has its own effective melting temperatures, residual de-icing action, and potential environmental effects.
Calcium chloride is the best option for facilities dealing with extremely low temperatures.
Rock salt is best if you are looking for the cheapest option, but keep in mind it is toxic to plants if applied in excess, and can corrode concrete and metal.
Magnesium chloride is a good choice for facilities concerned with the environment.
Potassium chloride and urea are not as popular because of their inability to work in colder temperatures and their high cost.
Blended ice melts are formulated to utilize the best attributes of each chemical compound, like lowest effective temperature or environmental effects without raising costs.
The best time to start thinking about ice melt is before the first snowfall. Choosing the right ice melt for your business will help ensure you're getting the best results to keep your guests safe and facility in great shape.

Giggs named Wales manager, handed four-year contract
Welshman lands first permanent managerial job
Wales have appointed former Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs as their manager on a four-year contract, the Football Association of Wales (FAW) announced yesterday.
The 44-year-old takes over from Chris Coleman, who led Wales to the Euro 2016 semi-finals but quit the job in November to take charge of Championship side Sunderland in the English second tier.
Giggs won 64 caps between 1991 and 2007 but was unpopular with some Wales fans for missing many internationals, especially friendlies.
He ended his playing career in 2014 and was Louis van Gaal's assistant at Old Trafford for the following two seasons before leaving United in 2016 after Jose Mourinho was appointed as manager.
"We are extremely delighted to see Ryan appointed as the national team manager," said FAW chief executive Jonathan Ford in a statement.
"With his vast amount of experience having played, coached and managed the biggest club in the world, we are confident of a successful future for our national team."
Giggs said he was proud to have been handed the job and excited by the challenge ahead, with Wales having failed to qualify for this year's World Cup Finals in Russia and now focusing on the 2020 European Championship.
"I can't wait to start working with the players as we prepare for those crucial games later in the year," he said.
Giggs' first game in charge will be in the China Cup tournament against the hosts in Nanning on March 22. - REUTERS

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte will be under more pressure to deliver in coming weeks with poor performances, bad body language on the pitch from his players, and now a fresh report by the Telegraph saying his training methods is one of the reasons for recent injuries to key players.
According to the story by Matt Law of the Telegraph, Conte is overly stretching his players and causing the hamstring injuries to three players.
Alvaro Morata first picked up the injury before the international break while N'Golo Kante was stopped in his usually marauding tracks while on duty for France against Bulgaria in a World Cup Qualifier.
Medical experts revealed to the Telegraph, that Victor Moses' hamstring tear in Chelsea's Premier League loss to Crystal Palace was only a confirmation of the extreme levels of stress Conte is putting his charges through in training.
Other factors mentioned were the negative effect of the international duties amid a busy schedule for the Blues in all four competitions this season.
Chelsea's squad was already been described as thin during pre-season and while Danny Drinkwater and Davide Zappacosta were brought in on the final day of the transfer window, there is still belief Conte wanted more, especially as the Blues missed out on Fernando Llorente and Ross Barkley in the final hours of the window.
The Italian's squad will be stretched a bit more now, with the number of players sidelined with injuries, but hopefully it will hold up and contest better than we have come to see in recent games.

After removing a popular sculpture from public view, Breckenridge has created a task force to find the troll made of reclaimed wood and named "Isak Heartstone" by his creator a new home.
Danish artist Thomas Dambo crafted the hugely popular, rock-stacking troll alongside a Breckenridge trail in August for a summer arts festival put on by Breckenridge Creative Arts. The troll was always supposed to be temporary, but the plan was to leave it in place as long as possible.
Citing safety concerns, Breckenridge Town Council decided to take the troll down early, however, and town staff took the troll apart and put it in storage last week.
On Tuesday, a Facebook update posted on the town's page describes how town staff and council, along with people from the Breckenridge Tourism Office, Breckenridge Creative Arts, Breck Events Committee, Open Space and the community-at-large, have created a new task force. Its mission: find the best possible place for "an installation relocation."

Skip to 0 minutes and 9 seconds VANESSA YARDLEY: Welcome to step 2.2. This step will look at the key symptoms of VL and possible complications that may be seen alongside a VL infection. PKDL will also be discussed with an emphasis on the different presentations of this manifestation of Leishmania donovani. Leishmaniasis is often referred to as a spectrum of disease, meaning that it presents in a variety of ways, depending upon the species of Leishmania and the host's immune response to that parasite. For example, some forms will self cure, such as cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania major. And some will cause a fatal infection, namely Leishmania donovani which causes visceral leishmaniasis.
Skip to 0 minutes and 59 seconds The time between being infected from the bite of the sand fly to the appearance of VL symptoms can range from a month to two years, though typically this incubation period is two to six months. Symptoms may appear slowly or quickly. And importantly, people can be infected and never show clinical signs. These are often referred to as asymptomatic and it is generally accepted that there are a higher proportion of asymptomatic VL infections compared to clinical cases. For example, in India in 2010 a study estimated that for every child under five with clinical VL, there were over six who were infected but asymptomatic. In adults this proportion was 18 to one.
Skip to 1 minute and 49 seconds This ratio is likely to vary from country to country and from season to season. And the role of infected asymptomatic individuals in the transmission dynamics of VL is not clearly understood. The general term visceral leishmaniasis encompasses a broad spectrum of severity and manifestations with a chronic, subacute, or acute onset and an incubation period of weeks, months, or sometimes years. In contrast, the term kala-azar typically is reserved for advanced, life-threatening disease. Although kala-azar actually means darkening of the skin, this is, in fact uncommon. The classic manifestations of advanced disease include prolonged fever which often undulates with peaks later in the day, and cachexia - malnutrition being a risk factor for and a consequence of visceral leishmaniasis.
Skip to 2 minutes and 46 seconds The majority of VL patients will have splenomegaly. Palpation of the spleen is key, as this is used to decide whether to perform a splenic aspirate or not. A rare low percentage will not present with an enlarged spleen, but they will have a fever and a number of other concomitant symptoms, such as severe weight loss, anaemia, coughing, and diarrhoea. Now we will show you a short video of a patient in India with suspected visceral leishmaniasis. The clinician will determine the size of the spleen by palpation.
Skip to 3 minutes and 59 seconds Hepatomegaly is much less commonly encountered than splenomegaly. it is evaluated by palpating below the right margin of the ribs. And there may be other clinical signs of liver involvement such as jaundice. After cure the liver usually returns to its normal size.
Skip to 4 minutes and 20 seconds As well as the classic symptoms of VL, other clinical signs of infection can include anaemia - severe anaemia can lead to heart failure. There is often a reduction in neutrophils and white blood cells and platelets, and an excess of gamma globulin in the blood, usually referred to as hypergammaglobulinemia. This mostly consists of IgG from polyclonal B cell activation. There may also be an increase of lymphocytes and monocytes in the blood. Patients may also have a persistent cough that could indicate an additional respiratory infection. All of these symptoms are often associated with VL and their presence at admissions should be noted. There are often atypical symptoms of VL infection which may be seen alongside fever, splenomegaly, and weight loss.
Skip to 5 minutes and 14 seconds They may be indicative of underlying complications such as co-infection or may be due to the aetiology of the disease in a particular area or population. Asymptomatic carriers may progress to clinical VL, but predicting this is not currently possible PKDL is a manifestation of Leishmania donovani infection which involves the skin and is seen after a visceral infection has been resolved, although there are anecdotal reports of PKDL occurring without any previous history of VL. PKDL typically occurs months after clinical cure with the initial appearance of plaques, nodules, and papules on the skin, each full of infected macrophages. Amastiogotes are not usually detected in liver, spleen, and bone marrow if tested. The occurrence of PKDL varies between endemic settings.
Skip to 6 minutes and 9 seconds In Sudan for example, the rates of developing PKDL after VL is higher than in South Asia. And the interval between VL cure and the onset of PKDL is generally shorter in East Africa. If you'd like to learn more about PKDL, WHO have an online course specifically on PKDL. PKDL in South Asia presents differently to that seen in East Africa. It tends to occur in 10% to 20% of post VL patients up to years after the VL infection has been resolved. It frequently presents as flat macular lesions which have low numbers of amastigotes before progressing, if not treated, to papular and nodular lesions. These are full of amastigotes.
Skip to 6 minutes and 57 seconds In India PKDL is rarely self-limiting and the treatment regimen is long and challenging. PKDL in Sudan, Ethiopia, and South Sudan is unique and different from PKDL in South Asia. It occurs at a much higher frequency, up to 60%, and tends to develop after a few months post VL treatment.

Skip to 7 minutes and 55 seconds A significant complication of VL infection is coinfection with the HIV virus. It is known that each exacerbates the other - the presence of HIV can accelerate the onset of VL symptoms, and the VL infection can help drive viral replication. These patients may also have atypical symptoms and disease presentations and the diagnostic tests used to confirm VL may not be appropriate in these cases. In India it is now policy to determine the HIV status of all VL patients.
Skip to 8 minutes and 33 seconds To summarise, we can list some key things that would define a case of VL, known as the case definition. If the person is from a known VL endemic area and has had a fever for more than two weeks, VL could be the cause. Other key signs to look for are splenomegaly, weight loss, and lymphadenopathy. The presence of these signs would be sufficient to warrant a diagnostic test for VL. But other infections may also need to be ruled out at this stage as many topical and non-tropical infections can mimic kala-azar.

All the latest news and views from the CPSU team
New policy leaves questions unanswered
LACK of consultation has meant confusion for Parks and Wildlife staff. The PWS Staff Housing Rental Policy was introduced with scarce consultation. Now some PWS Members are wondering what this new policy means for them. Concerns include:
- The rent PWS receive will no longer go back into the regional pool for maintenance on the houses, and instead go to a state wide pool; and
- The installation of power meters that don't read power for individuals.

We knew it was coming, it just took a little longer than expected. But 20th Century Fox has finally announced Deadpool 2, confirming that we'll see Ryan Reynolds' Merc with a Mouth back on screens with the entire creative team from the film returning. That includes director Tim Miller, who made his feature directorial debut with Deadpool after making waves as a VFX guru with credits that include the opening title sequence for David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. And yes, screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick as back as well, though we already knew that as they previously revealed they were already working on the screenplay for Deadpool 2 before the first film hit theaters and demolished all expectations for the R-rated superhero comedy.
What else do we know? Well we know that comics character Cable will be involved, but beyond that story details for Deadpool 2 are under lock and key at the moment. It's nice to know that this creative team will remain intact, though, as Miller, Reynolds, Reese and Wernick worked tirelessly to bring Deadpool to the screen over the years, only to continuously receive pushback from Fox, which wasn't yet ready to make such a risky superhero picture. It's rare in Hollywood that all of these pieces remain throughout development—usually the director drops off or new writers are brought in to try and angle the script towards the studio's liking, but with Deadpool, these folks stayed put, and the result was a worldwide box office of $757 million, a staggering number by any measure.
Now all that's left is a release date announcement, which is still pending. Fox has untitled Fox/Marvel films dated for release on October 6, 2017, January 12, 2018, and July 13, 2018, so you can bet on Deadpool 2 filling one of those slots. How soon? I'd be surprised if production weren't underway by the end of the year, so really Miller and Co. would have their pick—although an October or June date seems more fitting for such a popular property.

Whether it be in New York, London, Milan or in this case, Paris, everyone comes out for Fashion Week runways. The fashion savvy, the fashion victims, the reporters, the models, the admirers, the haters, and most anticipated of them all — the celebrities.
Celebrity sightings are, in our opinion, the only thing that could rival the clothes coming out on the runways. With Paris Men's Fashion Week immediately followed by the Couture shows, the sightings last week and over the weekend were especially entertaining. Here, our favorite stars taking residence in Paris right now.
1. Kylie Minogue and Maggie Cheung at Christian Dior (pictured above)
Australian songstress Kylie Minogue (second to the right) and actress Maggie Cheung (far right) were spotted front row, admiring Christian Dior's latest creations at the haute couture runway show on January 25, 2010.
2. Kanye West, Amber Rose, Chris Brown, at Kris Van Assche
Video vixen Amber Rose (far left) and notorious VMA speaker Kanye West (second from the right) were spotted admiring the latest in menswear by designer Kris Van Assche. Fallen hip-hop star Chris Brown (far right)was seen accompanying the couple at the show. Amber and Kanye were also seen at the runways of Lanvin and Louis Vuitton.
3. Dita Von Teese at Dior
Burlesque star and notorious corset-wearing vixen Dita Von Teese was spotted at the Christian Dior runway show in Paris looking sharp (and a bit dominatrix-like) in all black.

【Logistic Support Robot CarriRoⓇ 】
CarriRo is a trolley type logistic support robot that has a drive mode that allows operation with a joystick and a karugamo mode that automatically tracks a beacon (transmitter), and is a product that began selling in August 2016. By utilizing the function of CarriRo, we aim to raise the productivity of transportation up to about 3 times. We are assuming that it is also possible to replace the belt conveyor and AGV (automatic guided vehicle) by increasing the efficiency of picking operations in warehouses and logistics centers, and by using them for inter-process conveyance in factories. Moreover, since the work load is greatly reduced, it becomes possible for women and elderly people to carry out the transportation work which was regarded as hard labor so far, so it can be used for expanding workers and promoting employment.

Baseball Capsules
BALTIMORE (AP) — Astros rookie Yuli Gurriel had a career-high four hits, including a home run, and Houston received a gritty pitching performance from Mike Fiers in an 8-7 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.
Colin Moran hit his first major league homer and first triple for Houston, and Brian McCann also went deep.
The Astros took an 8-2 lead into the ninth before Adam Jones hit a two-run double off James Hoyt, and Jonathan Schoop homered with two on against Chris Devenski.
After Chris Davis was thrown out trying to bunt against the shift, Ken Giles struck out Mark Trumbo to earn his 21st save.
Working in 90-degree temperatures on a steamy night at Camden Yards, Fiers (7-4) threw 105 pitches over seven innings. The right-hander struck out nine, including Jones three times, and allowed one run.
Coming off a four-game sweep of Texas, the Orioles hoped to continue their surge against baseball's other team from the Lone Star State. Instead, Baltimore fell behind 5-0 in the second inning and dropped four games under .500.
Ubaldo Jimenez (4-6) gave up six runs and 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings. Houston finished with 16 hits, at least one from every starter.
SEATTLE (AP) — Aaron Judge hit a colossal three-run homer that nearly soared out of Safeco Field, and CC Sabathia won on his 37th birthday as New York beat Seattle.
Judge's 31st home run in the fifth inning was memorable and nearly historic. The big slugger clobbered a hanging curveball from starter Andrew Moore (1-2) into the second deck in left field, with the ball landing three rows from the top of the stadium. No one has hit one out of Safeco during a game since the ballpark opened midway through the 1999 season.
Judge came close and continued to emerge from a post-All-Star break slump thanks to his first home run since July 7. He finished with four RBIs, including a sacrifice fly that gave the Yankees a 2-1 lead.
Clint Frazier had an RBI double and a diving catch for New York. Sabathia (9-3) allowed one run in five-plus innings.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Braves pitcher Jaime Garcia hit a grand slam off previously unbeaten Alex Wood to highlight Atlanta's victory over Los Angeles.
The subject of trade talk lately, Garcia (4-7) allowed three runs over seven innings as the Braves won their second straight at Dodger Stadium. The NL West leaders hadn't lost two in a row since June 5-6 against Washington. They've been outscored 18-6 in the first two games of the series.
It was the Dodgers' most lopsided defeat of the season.
Wood (11-1) got knocked around by his former team. The All-Star left-hander gave up nine runs — seven earned — and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings, tying his shortest start since joining the rotation April 21.
Tyler Flowers hit a three-run homer and had four RBIs for the Braves.
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona opened the game with three straight home runs off Washington ace Max Scherzer and ended it with Brandon Drury's bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth inning.
The home runs by David Peralta, A.J. Pollock and Jake Lamb started the Diamondbacks on the way to a 5-0 lead. The feat was the first in the majors since Baltimore did it against Texas on May 10, 2012.
It was the first time in Nationals history (2005 to present) that an opposing team hit back-to-back-to-back home runs.
The Diamondbacks last hit three straight homers on Aug. 11, 2010, when they had four in a row at Milwaukee.
It was the most runs allowed by Scherzer in a first inning since July 2, 2011, against San Francisco, when he gave up five. Scherzer's five runs allowed tied for the most he's given up in a start this season, and the five innings tied for his shortest outing of the year.
Fernando Rodney (4-3) pitched an inning for the win. Pollock tripled in the ninth off Enny Romero (2-4).
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Chris Sale pitched six scoreless innings and Boston rode its five-run first to a victory over Los Angeles.
Sale (12-4) allowed four hits and struck out nine to push his major league-leading total to 200. He walked one and lowered his AL-best ERA to 2.48. He has won 11 of his last 13 decisions.
Sale improved to 6-0 against the Angels with a 1.23 ERA in nine games (seven starts).
The Red Sox jumped on erratic starter Ricky Nolasco (4-11), with six of their first seven batters getting a hit. Nolasco went four innings and gave up six runs.
Martin Maldonado homered for the Angels, who have dropped nine of 12.
CHICAGO (AP) — Paul DeJong hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in St. Louis' nine-run eighth inning, and the Cardinals cooled off Chicago.
The Cubs carried a 3-2 lead into the eighth, looking for their seventh consecutive win. But St. Louis sent 14 batters to the plate in its highest-scoring inning of the season, taking advantage of a combined six walks by three relievers while improving to 4-4 since the All-Star break.
Carl Edwards Jr. (3-2) was pulled after the first three batters reached. Hector Rondon then walked Jedd Gyorko, tying it at 3, and DeJong followed with a drive into the ivy in right-center for a ground-rule double.
Carson Kelly hit a two-run double in his first game since being recalled from Triple-A Memphis. Tommy Pham's two-run single made it 11-3 as 11 consecutive batters reached safely to begin the inning.
Willson Contreras hit a two-run homer for Chicago, and Jake Arrieta pitched six effective innings. Third baseman Kris Bryant sat out with a sprained left little finger.
Randal Grichuk homered for the Cardinals in his return from a lower back injury. Matt Bowman (2-3) got the final out of the seventh.
DENVER (AP) — Pittsburgh rookie Josh Bell had a career-high four hits, Andrew McCutchen had three hits and reached base five times, and the surging Pirates beat Colorado.
Rookie starter Trevor Williams (4-4) overcame a rough first to pitch 6 2/3 solid innings for his first win in more than a month. Pittsburgh has won a season-best six straight and 12 of 14 to move a game above .500 for the first time since opening 3-2.
The Pirates (49-48), who tied a season high with 18 hits, are within two games of first-place Milwaukee in the NL Central.
Pittsburgh jumped on Rockies starter Jeff Hoffman (6-2) and chased him three batters into the fourth. Bell had an RBI single in the first and a three-run double in the second to finish with a season-high four RBIs.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Whit Merrifield's sacrifice fly in the 10th inning lifted Kansas City over skidding Chicago.
Merrifield's game-ending fly scored Alcides Escobar, who led off the inning with a single.
The Royals, who trailed 5-1 after two innings, got their third walk-off victory in five days. The White Sox have lost seven straight and 10 of 11.
Alex Gordon had three hits and drove in three Royals runs, while Merrifield also had a two-run double in the fourth. Mike Moustakas hit his 26th home run.
Neftali Feliz (1-0), the seventh Kansas City pitcher, threw seven pitches in a scoreless 10th.
Tyler Clippard (1-6), acquired in a trade Tuesday with the New York Yankees, took the loss in his White Sox debut. Top prospect Yoan Moncada had four RBIs in his second game with Chicago, including a bases-loaded triple.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Aaron Nola tied a career high with nine strikeouts in seven sharp innings, Freddy Galvis hit a two-run homer and Philadelphia beat reeling Milwaukee.
Nola (7-6) allowed one run and five hits. He has six straight quality starts, going 4-1 and lowering his ERA from 4.76 to 3.38 in that span.
The NL Central-leading Brewers have lost six in a row and their lead over the World Series champion Cubs is only one game.
The Phillies have won three straight for only the third time this season but still have the worst record in the majors.
Brewers starter Matt Garza (4-5) gave up two runs and three hits in five innings.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Edwin Encarnacion homered and drove in four runs against his former team, and Cleveland broke open a close game with an eight-run seventh inning to pull away from Toronto.
Encarnacion, who played the last six seasons with the Blue Jays before signing a three-year, $60 million contract with Cleveland in January, hit a leadoff homer in the second, broke a 3-all tie in the fifth with a two-run double and added an RBI single in the seventh.
Abraham Almonte hit a three-run homer and rookie Bradley Zimmer added a two-run single in the seventh as the Indians won for just the second time in eight games.
Trevor Bauer (8-8) allowed three runs in five innings following a dreadful outing in his previous start.
Marco Estrada (4-7) gave up five runs in 4 2/3 innings and hasn't won since May 27.
NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Conforto hit a pair of two-run homers and Jerry Blevins rescued the Mets' bullpen with a five-out save as New York held off Oakland for its third straight victory.
T.J. Rivera put the Mets ahead in the sixth inning with a two-run single that turned into a Little League home run. Rivera came all the way around to score on the play after third baseman Matt Chapman, trying to get Rivera at second, threw the ball away into right field for a costly error that made it 5-3.
Conforto's second homer made it 7-3 in the seventh. Oakland rallied for two in the eighth, but Blevins replaced closer Addison Reed with the bases loaded and got five straight outs against his former team for his fifth major league save and first this season.
Blevins went at least 1 2/3 innings in a game for the first time since 2014 with Washington. He retired All-Star slugger Yonder Alonso on a foul popup and struck out Khris Davis to escape the eighth-inning jam.
Yoenis Cespedes had three hits and Hansel Robles (5-1) struck out two in a scoreless inning.
Marcus Semien had four hits and two RBIs for the Athletics. Rookie starter Paul Blackburn (1-1) gave up four runs over 5 1/3 innings.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Elvis Andrus homered early and snapped a 10th-inning tie with a two-out infield single that gave struggling Texas a comeback victory over Tampa Bay.
Andrus hit a sharp grounder off Brad Boxberger (2-1) that forced Evan Longoria to make a diving stop. Pinch-runner Delino DeShields scored when the third baseman was unable to complete the throw to first base.
Alex Claudio (2-0) pitched two innings in relief of Yu Darvish to help the Rangers stop a five-game skid.
Rays starter Alex Cobb took a three-hitter and a 3-1 lead into the ninth, but couldn't finish off the Rangers, who erased their deficit with Joey Gallo's double and Shin-Soo Choo's 14th homer within a three-pitch span.
Darvish struck out 12 over eight innings but allowed solo homers to Brad Miller, Corey Dickerson and Mallex Smith.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Victor Martinez hit two homers and Detroit topped Minnesota.
Anibal Sanchez (2-0) gave up three runs in 5 2/3 innings for the Tigers, who lost star slugger Miguel Cabrera to a bruised right clavicle in the fourth. Cabrera had X-rays that were negative and he is day to day.
Justin Wilson pitched the ninth for his 11th save. The Tigers are 14-1 in their last 15 games at Target Field.
All-Star Ervin Santana (11-7) had his shortest outing of the season for the Twins. He gave up five runs and seven hits in 3 1/3 innings.
Minnesota fell 1 1/2 games behind first-place Cleveland in the AL Central.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Jose Urena pitched three-hit ball into the seventh inning, Christian Yelich drove in two runs and Miami opened a six-game road trip with a rain-delayed victory over Cincinnati.
The Reds managed just four hits while falling to 1-7 on their 10-game homestand. The Marlins were coming off a 1-5 homestand.
After the start was delayed nearly two hours, Urena (8-4) allowed one run and struck out four. He and three relievers limited the Reds to one extra-base hit: Scooter Gennett's double.
AJ Ramos worked the ninth for his 18th save.
Homer Bailey (2-4) turned in five shutout innings after Miami scored two in the first.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Matt Szczur blooped a tiebreaking single in the 11th inning, his fourth hit of the game after coming off the bench, and San Diego outlasted San Francisco.
The Padres blew a three-run lead with two outs in the ninth when Giants pinch-hitter Conor Gillaspie homered off closer Brandon Maurer, but San Diego won in extra innings after scoring off George Kontos (0-4).
Jose Pirela and Carlos Asuaje added consecutive RBI singles for insurance.
Szczur entered as part of a double switch in the fourth and set a career high for hits. Hector Sanchez homered and had three hits against his former team.
Wil Myers hit his 18th home run, Pirela added four hits and two RBIs, and San Diego won for the 16th time in the last 21 games against San Francisco. Phil Maton (2-0) retired six batters in a game that ended after midnight on the West Coast.

They say Hell hath no fury like a Woman scorned, and if that woman is Betty Kyalo, the Empress of Pettiness, then you need to lace up your boots 'cos the ride is about to be too rough and bumpy.
Early this year, the Internet was almost broken with the sordid tales of the dramatic breakdown of the relationship between Betty Kyalo and her model BFF Susan Kaitanny.
Later, it was revealed that Betty had broken away from her best friend after a business and personal deal gone sour.
Betty Kyalo and Susan Kaitanny during the better days
Actually, things happened fast. So fast that within days, Betty had announced the termination of her relationship with Posh Palace, their joint venture which was a luxurious Beauty Spa ensconced in the lush Kilimani suburbs.
Lawyers were even thrown into the fray – for good measure.
Now, Posh Palace remained a one-woman show, run by Susan Kaitanny alone after the departure of the sultry KTN Friday Briefing anchor.
Less than three months later, Betty Kyalo is back to claim what was rightfully hers. And to dominate the beauty and hair market again in the same upscale Kilimani address.
Betty has now announced the opening of her own deluxe Beauty Salon. On Instagram, the pretty TV star has said that the official launch of her OWN Beauty Salon will happen this Saturday. And to back it up, she has splashed photos of the Salon's new residence in the most gaudy and outlandish way.
And here's the catch – Betty's new salon, Flair by Betty, will be located RIGHT OPPOSITE Susan Kaitanny's Posh Place. Yes, take that and stick it up your… never mind.
It will be housed at the glamorous FCB Mihrab building, along Lenana Road and at the Mezzanine Floor.
Not to be outdone, Susan has also decided to amplify her thunder and has taken up advertising space right outside Betty's new Salon to hype up her Posh Palace salon which she says is about to be bigger, better, stacked with the best hair stylists in town and offer the trendiest services.
This whole fight for dominance is playing out right in the streets of Kilimani … As the friends, fans and clients of both women watch.
This dicey battle for supremacy, between two beautiful media girls who were once BFFs, and who fell out acrimoniously, is playing out like a perfectly-scripted Filipino Soap Opera.
Who will blink first? Keep it eDaily for the second season of the hit show La Pelea de las Divas.

The Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG) has criticized a Nasarawa State senator, Abdullahi Adamu, over his comments on government land ownership and herdsmen terrorism.
In a statement Wednesday, the ARG warned the Federal Government to handle the raging herdsmen clashes and attacks on communities with utmost sensitivity and justice.
Kunle Famoriyo, ARG's Publicity Secretary, said the group had just concluded a report based on a research into the herdsmen-farmers clashes, which will be forwarded to the Federal Government and National Assembly, adding that hardly was there a state in Nigeria, particularly, the 17 southern states, that had good tales about herdsmen's activities.
"Sadly, parochial and irresponsible statements, like Adamu's, is the latest in a series of media reports in which herdsmen were absolved of their crimes against host communities and their demands advanced as of absolute rights," Mr. Famoriyo said.
Mr. Adamu, who spoke at a public hearing organized by the Joint Senate Committees on Agriculture and Rural Development and National Security and Intelligence on Tuesday, had said the nation's Constitution guarantees freedom of movement and rights of Nigerians to live in any part of the country.
The senator was responding to participants who had opposed the idea of grazing reserve routes.
"Nobody can stop the government from acquiring land anywhere in Nigeria. Government is government. If anybody thinks he is violent, government has monopoly of violence," Mr. Adamu (APC, Nasarawa West) had said.
The ARG deplored the statement and cautioned government officials and political officers to be sensitive to the plight of victims of herdsmen's terror by guarding their utterances.
The group said it was shocked by the Federal Government's claim that the herdsmen are foreigners and Boko Haram insurgents when there were verifiable data and reports showing that herdsmen terror predates Boko Haram insurgency.
"Some reports dated as far back as the early 90s in parts of Oke-Ogun in Oyo State, where many farmers, for inexplicable reasons, have spent months in police detention in Abuja just because they protested the invasion of their farmlands by cows, led there by herdsmen," Mr. Famoriyo said.
"Herdsmen have been labeled as militants in the Global Terrorism Index2015 – due to their violent acts on defenseless Nigerians in agrarian communities, without any commensurate response from the security agencies.
"If indeed they are foreigners, it is the duty of Inspector General of Police and other security agencies to ensure that non-Nigerians are denied the opportunity of making unlawful incursion into the country, irrespective of any affiliation, religious or political, that they may have with any part of Nigeria."
The statement noted that Nigerians are now aware that the proliferation of armed herdsmen indicates the potential of a people preparing to subjugate others.
"Rather than assuage this fear by crushing the armed herdsmen, it is shocking that government's priority is to implement reforms that apparently favours them," the statement continued.
"Herdsmen, like any people, entrepreneurs, and traders in Nigeria, should be free to live anywhere. However, if they need land for grazing, they should acquire it the same way other Nigerians [and foreigners] acquire land to live and operate their ventures – whilst they peacefully integrate into the host communities."

Listen to the full episode here:
Let's take a moment to revisit the television classic Doogie Howser, M.D. Many of us loved the show because we fancied ourselves young geniuses or had a crush on the brainpower of the world's youngest fictional doctor—but it was Howser's daily record keeping that inspired Cesar Kuriyama, our guest on this week's episode of The Limit Does Not Exist.
Kuriyama, a director, animator, 3D VFX artist and self-described "memory hoarder," is the founder of the 1 Second Everyday app, which gives users the ability to record—you guessed it—one second of every single day.
Although it might seem like a natural fit for Kuriyama in hindsight, his journey to creating the app is a remarkable one that began with a decision to quit a full-time job in advertising and take a year off. Kuriyama tells us how he did it, the TED Talk that inspired him, and how his choice led not only to a TED Talk of his own, but to a life made for a "creative human person."
Tune in for inspiring quotes like this one:
This whole time I was thinking, 'I need to have something else ready and waiting for me before I can quit my job.' And what I realized was that since the majority of my head space was being given to this job, I probably wasn't going to figure out what I wanted to do next until I gave myself the space to do so.

This CBC radio article by Kelly Crowe, reads like a primer for metabolic Therapy. Thirty one vitamin/mineral supplements were given to a group of mice and were later compared to the control group, which received a regular diet. The results were dramatic and are similar to what I see in those people who follow the principles of Metabolic Therapy. The article includes the list of vitamins and minerals given in the trial.

Aging slowed in mice with supplement mix
CHASING CURES | CBC News examines how close we are to finding cures for aging, obesity, diabetes, the common cold and cancer in a series of special reports

It might be possible to cure aging, say scientists who've found that lab mice get smarter and more agile as they age when fed a mix of nutritional supplements.
The diet and supplement plan isn't a conventional "cure." But the animal results at McMaster University in Hamilton illustrate how investigators aim to slow down the aging process to avoid the physical and mental declines that often come as more candles are added to the birthday cake.
At Prof. David Rollo's biology laboratory, mice that ate bagel bits soaked in a cocktail of supplements such as B vitamins, vitamin D, ginseng and garlic lived longer than those not taking the special mice chow.
"If you put them on a supplement, they actually learn better as they age," Rollo said. "They still don't live much longer but their brain function is remarkable."
The mice also acted like restless teenagers showing "spontaneous motor function" that fades in humans in a universal sign of aging, Rollo added.
The supplemented mice maintained their memory function in tests, such as remembering a familiar object. Their learning abilities were like those of very young mice, he said. Mice of the same age that were not supplemented behaved in lab tests like a frail 80-year-old woman.
Investigators turned to the cocktail of ingredients based on their suspected ability to offset five key mechanisms involved in aging.
Available at health food stores
The researchers have also doubled the lifespan of crickets using a combination of dietary restriction and supplements, and other investigators have found similar results in other animal models.
Most of the supplements Rollo and his team use are sold at health food stores. But he cautioned they are not something to be toyed with because the cocktail hasn't been tested to see if it is safe for people.
The supplements cross the blood-brain barrier to affect the mitochondria "furnaces" in the brain in a fundamental way, he noted.
Scientists still don't how the supplements actually work and interact in the body.
Live to 1,000?
Like Rollo, British gerontologist Aubrey de Grey of Cambridge is optimistic about the potential to extend human life span, but he takes a different approach. He's not trying to eliminate aging but to extend how long people can be fit and healthy.
"We know that with simple man-made machines like cars and airplanes, we don't have a limit," said de Grey said, who acknowledged that humans are more complicated.These mice are the same age but one received the supplements and one didn't.(Courtesy of David Rollo)
"We can keep these machines going … just by doing sufficiently comprehensive repair and maintenance reasonably often and that is going to be exactly the same for the human body."
By bringing the molecular and cellular damage that accumulates throughout life under medical control, de Grey suspects that human life spans could be vastly extended.
"If you reach age 26, what is the chance of not reaching 27? The answer is less than one in a thousand. So if you maintain that risk then clearly you [can] live a four-digit lifespan. You will live 1,000 years or more."
Earl Fee of Mississauga, Ont., has a more modest goal: to live to 120.
Fee was a runner in his youth and then stopped for years. He resumed running at the age of 57 and now competes.
"I am 82 but I don't feel much different than when I was 32, so that is a very good feeling," he said.
Earl credited his intense training regime, healthy diet, enjoying a glass or two of red wine before dinner and the fortune of good genes for his vitality.
"Before I ran, I wasn't as energetic or as vibrant," he recalled.

Haunted items no longer make sense!
Haunted is one of the many item qualities in Team Fortress 2. Its hexadecimal colour (or web colour if you prefer) is #38F3AB or R:56 G:243 B:171 if RGB colours are more of your thing. If you prefer CMYK, the values are C:77 M:0 Y:29.6 K:4.7. No, I will not go and find you a closest Pantone colour. Anyway, no matter what colour numbers Haunted has, its reason to exist has lost its way. Originally, the Haunted quality was used on a bunch of cosmetic items, from the 2011 Very Scary Halloween event on Eye-a-duct.

December 7, 2019
It's true that if not managed properly economic growth and markets can easily get a bad rep because of the potential for large economic inequalities and market failures like polluting the environment. These are both important issues that we need to collectively figure out — and I believe we will — but the distribution of wealth and the pricing of negative externalities should not cloud the importance of economic growth itself. Quite the contrary. Economic growth makes all the solutions possible.
It's worth repeating how important long term economic growth is. Economic growth is what will ultimately lift everyone's quality of life. It opens up opportunities for the entrepreneurial-minded and generates tax revenues that ensure that the less fortunate are looked after. This, in turn, is what makes our democracies function. Conversely, we'll all be hosed if the economic growth slows down significantly and the technology-driven growth in our living standards during the past 200 years turns out to be an exception rather than the rule. We have had a great run from the industrial revolution to the current information revolution we're in the midst of, but future growth is not guaranteed without us putting in the hard work.
More science, engineering, and arts combined with the relentless creative human spirit is the way forward in a world where technology is making repetitive work redundant while at the same time our planetary boundaries are being stretched to a breaking point. If we lose hope along with our jobs we are flirting with a revolution of which our democracy may not survive as we hope it would. Fortunately, the opposite is equally true. If we find a common thread where we can contribute and work together towards an inspiring future, everything is possible.
Economic growth gives life to many wonderful things. A sense of shared direction, creative expression, entrepreneurship, a functioning democracy. Advancement of science, art, hope, peace, and excitement for the future. It lifts societies by opening up new opportunities and can be a life-changer for individuals who get to be part of it. Growth is a close friend of progress and the ultimate enabler.

Three is set to offer free Wi-Fi in major cities across the UK by deploying 'Human Hotspots' armed with its MiFi devices.
The Human Hotspots will allow people with Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices to access the web using Three's 3G network.
The free Wi-Fi campaign comes after Three conducted a nation wide survey which found that one third of Brits are planning to buy a mobile device this Christmas and that around 60 per cent Brits already owned a Wi-Fi connected mobile device.
The survey also found that Brits tend to access mobile internet from their living rooms more often than from other areas..
Matthew Halfin, marketing manager for Three's mobile broadband, said in a statement to Pocket-Lint: "People are now using mobile internet as part of their everyday lifestyle, and we think it's important that we're able to support our customers by providing them with reliable and fast connectivity for wherever they want to go online."
