Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Nutrition: Health, Weird But True
Based on the results of a study involving mice, these researchers have determined that girls might really be made from sugar and spice and perhaps chocolate. Likewise, if you are hoping to conceive a boy, skip the puppy dog tails and go for a hamburger and fries.
In the study, scientists gave 20 female mice a diet of the steroid dexamethasone, which kept their blood-sugar levels low. Then, the mice had some babies and their litters were compared to those of 20 mice on a regular diet. The steroid-taking mice produced litters that were 41 percent male, compared to 53 percent for the mice eating normally. Low blood sugar is an indicator of a sugar-rich diet, therefore leading the researchers to believe that eating more sugar will produce more girls.
But we all know that the sex of the child is determined by a chromosome in the male sperm, so how could the mother's diet have any impact at all? Researchers theorize that perhaps a woman's diet affects the environment in her womb, making things more hospitable for a male or female sperm.
So, there you have it. It might be total bunk, but I suppose if I were hoping for a girl, I could be convinced to load up on sugar.

Are they sure it isn't because the males conceived are more likely to die in a certain environment? I would be careful of making my womb inhospitable to anything that should naturally be in there.

Long time ago I had read about a study done in the UK that indicated that vegetarians tended to have more girls. If it was done properly, then there might be something to the "affecting the womb environment" theory.

I wonder if it has nothing to with selecting a zygote but with sperm selection. We already know that sperm carrying the Y chromosome are faster swimmers and lighter weight for some reason (you can do a ultra centrifuge of sperm in a sugar gradient and the "male" and "female" sperm will separate). So, probably a sugary uterus and fallopian tubes would favor the faster swimmers who use more energy, energizing those mitochondrial machines in their flagellum.

I could probably be convinced to load up on sugar regardless of which sex I was hoping for! ;)
12-01-2007 @ 9:31AMCatherine said...
I do have low blood sugar and three boys. Hmm...
Actually, there have been some studies that the female chooses which sperm to allow to fertilize her eggs, and that it's not up to the male.

Daly on Woods: 'I'm just glad he's OK'
Photo Gallery
Tiger Woods' SUV accident, crash site
TMZ.com posted exclusive photos of Tiger Woods' SUV accident on Nov. 27 near Orlando, Fla., and the Associated Press followed with photos Nov. 30 of the damaged area.
SYDNEY, Australia – John Daly says he doesn't want to know the details about Tiger Woods' late-night car accident.
Daly, the two-time major champion who has had his share of explaining to do in an often troubled career, said Monday he just wants Woods fit and back on the Tour.
"I don't really care what happened between Tiger and ... whatever happened. I'm just glad he's OK," said Daly, preparing for the Australian Open. "We need him, probably more than anybody on the Tour, to keep things going, the way the economy is.
"Tiger's the biggest asset the Tour's had in a long, long time," he said. "Whatever happened, as long as he's OK that's all that matters.
"Golf needs him badly ... no doubt."

Every year ShopInPrivate.com compiles a list of the 10 worst Christmas gifts. They aren't awful products, in fact many of them work quite well. They just lack the sentimentality and loving touch of a great gift. Please don't give them to your loved ones.
This is a list of 10 items you should NOT buy as gifts. Each year, as a public service, ShopInPrivate.com – The World's Most Private Store releases a list of gifts to avoid. You see, we sell items that are embarrassing to buy. Products that solve personal issues and embarrassing conditions are our specialty. Unfortunately, people can get confused and try to give these items as gifts.
10. Knicker Stickers –Knicker Stickers are stick on pads that allow you to "go commando" a number of times before you wash your jeans. Like many products that we sell, they seem to be almost useful, but probably not at all.
9. After Trace –After Trace is a scent neutralizing spray for women. It is 90% organic and allows women to smell clean and feel sexier. There is no chance that they will ever feel sexier if you give them this as a gift though.
8. Vexum Double Chin Lotion - Not everything we sell is snake oil. Many products on ShopInPrivate.com work quite well, are made by reputable companies, and have long histories of satisfied customers, and then there is Vexum… Really?
7. Fresh Breasts / Fresh Balls – Lotions to keep your private parts free of perspiration are not good gifts, EVER.
6. The Go Girl – This handy little funnel allows women to pee while standing up, which would seem really handy while camping or using a porta john, except that you end up holding a pee-soaked funnel when it is all over.
5. Pubic Hair Dye – Perhaps you partner is going grey down there, perhaps the curtains don't match the drapes, maybe you just want to see how they would look in the color purple, either way, pubic hair dye is probably best left a personal choice. .
4. A Back and Body Hair Trimmer – We are actually big fans of this product. It allows you to trim your own back and body hair, all of it. This is great for the shaver and fantastic for the person who used to have to shave them, but I doubt that either individual would appreciate the gift.
3. Subtle Butt – Buying a gift for someone else that benefits yourself never works. Let's be clear, your friend is proud of his smelly gas. He probably basks in it. He will never use these stick on pads that absorb the odor of flatulence.
2. The Shades of Grey Necktie –Cheap neckties are terrible Christmas gifts even if you use them to tie up your lover in the same way as a fictional billionaire.
Finally, The Worst Christmas Gift of 2012:

OpenSUSE: Webpin - Finding And Installing Applications Easily
One of the problems many SUSE/openSUSE users have is locating software. Package management eases installation of software, but locating packages which are not in the official repositories may be problematic. openSUSE's main repository is fairly large with approximately 22,000 officially supported packages. However there are still many packages that openSUSE cannot package for logistical or legal reasons. Most software can be found in one of many package repositories, but finding the repository containing the package containing what you are after may be a pain when you don't know where to look.
If you're looking for a search engine for finding openSUSE RPMs, you can use Webpin. Webpin will automatically register new repositories and use libzypp for dependency resolution, leaving you with very little to do, while the packages are downloaded and installed quickly and transparently.

/// Intel: The PC Market Isn't a Train Wreck. No Really
Last night the chipmaker Intel sought to make the case that the market for personal computes isn't quite the train wreck that it appears to be. The venue was a gathering of journalists in a luxury box at New York's Yankee Stadium, during last night's 14-7 rout of the Los Angeles Angels . The latest and greatest Ultrabooks from companies like Acer, Lenovo, Dell, Toshiba and Sony were on display, all of them using the latest version of Intel's Core processors. Most of them were designed with displays that do some form of tablet-like gymnastics, like the Dell XPS 12 and the Lenovo Yoga twisting this way and that to act more like a tablet. The even coincided with the release of the findings of an Intel-sponsored survey of 3,977 US adults taken in June by the research firm IDC, proclaiming that "there's never been a better time to buy a new PC." Here's the highlights: 97 percent of respondents still consider their PCs to be their primary computing device; Of those, 41 percent say the intend to buy a new machine in the coming year; That number rises to 54 percent for parents and millenials. They consider access to their PC essential for daily existence. When asked what they would give up before losing access to their PC for a week, 73 percent said exercise, 71 said candy and sweets, 65 percent said caffeine, 58 percent said TV, and 33 percent said their car.

Archive for June 2011
Spokane has settled on Erik Meyer as its starting quarterback vs. Arizona, but head coach Rob Keefe stressed that the appointment is on a one-game basis.
Keefe emphasized that point several times during a phone interview this evening. Meyer will be backed up by Kyle Rowley (the roles were reversed last season) in Saturday's game. The situation will be re-visited if necessary.
Bill Stull, who started against Dallas, was released. AFL teams don't carry three quarterbacks on a 24-player roster (21 on game day) and the Shock has Steven Sheffield on injured reserve.
You can read my article on the QB situation here.
Former Washington State quarterback Jason Gesser has been hired at Idaho, where he'll be reunited with former Cougar defensive coordinator Robb Akey.
Just last month Gesser, after resigning as head coach at Eastside Catholic in Sammamish, Wash., told us he was joining WSU in an off-the-field non-coaching position. But after UI running backs coach Jeremy Thielbahr left to take Gesser's old position at Eastside Catholic, a role on Akey's staff opened up and Gesser pursued it.
"It really is a dream come true working for a guy like that," Gesser said of Akey in Idaho's media release. "I've been trying for the last handful of years to see if he'd let me join his staff and I finally got him to bite. I've seen his kids grow in front of my eyes and I'm very close with his family. I've spent a lot of time with him not only as a player but since he's been coaching at Idaho."
Gesser will coach Idaho's running backs and recruit the Norhwest and Hawaii.
You can read Idaho's full release on the hiring here.
UPDATE: Our story on Gesser's change of heart includes his explanation of why he decided to move to Moscow instead of Pullman.
Erik Meyer has been named the starting quarterback for Spokane's game against Arizona in Phoenix on Saturday, Shock head coach Rob Keefe said.
Meyer, who missed last week's game with a concussion, beat out Kyle Rowley and Bill Stull for the starting nod. No word on who will serve as Meyer's backup.
More later today.
Another week with the Shock and another three-player race for the quarterback job and another standout receiver leaving for the UFL.
Read more in my weekly Shock notebook that will run in Wednesday's S-R. Here's the link.
Spokane won big and easy in the Big Easy.
The visiting Shock crushed New Orleans 75-54 on Saturday night for their third straight win. Spokane (7-7) had failed in two earlier chances to reach the .500 mark, but it cashed in against the hapless VooDoo (2-12).
Kyle Rowley, the opening-day starter who lost the job to Bill Stull last month, had four touchdown passes and one rushing TD in his first game back since being activated from injured reserve. Stull, also activated from IR earlier this week, had a pair of TD passes and one TD run.
More game details here.
With Kyle Rowley back as starting quarterback, the visiting Spokane Shock take on New Orleans on Saturday night. The Shock (6-7) are tied with Tulsa and Utah for the fourth and final playoff berth in the National Conference.
You can read my game preview that will run in Saturday's S-R here.
I would think you could say the 2010-11 Washington State University basketball season is officially over now that Klay Thompson's NBA draft saga is complete. But wait, there are still some loose ends. Read on.
Klay Thompson's decision to leave Washington State after three years turned out to be a good one as he was drafted No. 11 in Thursday's NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors. We'll have more about Thompson's selection, including our story, soon.
UPDATE: We have our story for tomorrow's SR. You can read it here. We'll have more in the morning.
Spokane is back to where it started at starting quarterback.
Opening-day starter Kyle Rowley (pictured from last year's ArenaBowl) has been named the starter for Saturday's road game against New Orleans. Bill Stull, who supplanted Rowley as the starter in the Week 9 game against Dallas, will be the backup. In other moves, Spokane also placed WR Raul Vijil (hamstring) and reserve QB Steven Sheffield on injured reserve and activated WR Chas Gessner from IR.
More here.
As usual, the Spokane Chiefs will play in two preseason tournaments before playing one game in Spokane prior to the Western Hockey League season.
The Chiefs will play in the Everett tournament Sept. 2-4 and then the Tri-City tournament the next week, which features all five U.S. Division teams.
Spokane, which reached the Western Conference finals last season under new coach Don Nachbaur, play a total of seven games, capped by a visit from the Tri-City Americans on Thursday, Sept.15. That game will be played at Eastern Washington University.
The first three games are in Everett. On Friday, Sept. 2, the Chiefs face Seattle, followed by a Saturday game with the host Silvertips and a Sunday game with Portland, which knocked Spokane out of the playoffs.
At Tri-City, the Chiefs play Seattle again on Friday the 9th, followed by a Saturday game with the Americans.
They close the preseason by going to Tri-City for a game on Saturday, Sept. 17.
Schedule below.
This has been known for a year or two, but Gonzaga officially will take on Arizona in the Battle in Seattle on Dec. 17th. GU is 0-3 vs. Arizona, including a 69-64 loss in 2008, the most recent clash in Phoenix. Spokane pre-sale tickets will be available Sept. 10.
More below.
Also, several Zags from the men's and women's teams will be signing autographs during Hoopfest. Here's the schedule.
As mentioned earlier, I put together a notebook from today's Shock practice that will run in Thursday's S-R. You can read it here.
The first topic, of course, is the quarterback derby. Erik Meyer is out with a concussion. Kyle Rowley, Bill Stull and Steven Sheffield are competing for the starting (and backup) job. I'm guessing Rowley gets the starting nod vs. New Orleans on Saturday. I'm also guessing that Meyer returns next week and reclaims the starting job for the showdown vs. Arizona. Ex-Shockie and current Rattler Kevin McCullough won't play next week after being placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Check back tomorrow for an update when Rob Keefe names his starting quarterback.
A quick post after returning from Shock practice at the Arena.
Erik Meyer (concussion) won't play Saturday against New Orleans, leaving the starting quarterback job up for grabs between Kyle Rowley, Bill Stull and Steven Sheffield. Head coach Rob Keefe said he'll name a starter Thursday. Meyer started the last two games, both Shock wins, before he was injured in Saturday's win over Chicago.
The Shock, who lost OL Ben Ossai to UFL Las Vegas last week, have lost WR Markee White to UFL Hartford.
Check back later for my notebook.
Just as Erik Meyer appeared to be settling in as the Shock's starting quarterback he had to leave the field with assistance from the training staff. Meyer, in his second start, departed in the third quarter after making a tackle on a Chicago defender who had picked off a Meyer pass.
Meyer suffered a concussion on the play. His status for Saturday's road game against New Orleans will be determined later this week. Meyer missed part of last season, when he was Spokane's backup quarterback, with a pinched nerve.
The former Eastern Washington standout tossed seven touchdown passes in his debut as the starter, leading Spokane past Philadelphia two weeks ago. He followed that up with five TDs against Chicago before he was injured.
John Blanchette pinch-hit for me covering the Shock game, but he apparently didn't pinch-blog, so here's his game story from Spokane's win over Chicago on Saturday night. Here's Chris Anderson's game photos.
The Spokane Shock have had several chances to string some wins together this season, but only once have they had back-to-back victories. They get another chance tomorrow when Chicago visits the Arena.
Here's my game preview.
Shock coach Rob Keefe said earlier this week that his team might have opened some eyes around the AFL after thumping Philadelphia 75-54 and that could be reflected when the weekly coaches poll was released. The poll came out and Spokane (5-7) still didn't crack the top 10.
Chicago (9-3), Spokane's opponent Saturday in the Arena, moved up from fourth to third. Spokane is tied with Utah and San Jose for second in the National Conference West Division. Utah remained in ninth and San Jose stayed in 10th in the rankings. Utah has lost three straight and San Jose has dropped five in a row.
More here.
Greg Orton, the last cut of Spokane's 2010 training camp, has turned that negative into a positive. He returned at midseason when Spokane was hit by injuries to the receiving unit and he became a mainstay.
Then, he got better. Read about Orton's journey from being released to being one of the best receivers in the AFL here.
Spokane's secondary, a sore spot most of the season, has been more productive the last five games, including a three-interception performance against Philadelphia on Friday. The unit will be relied on even more with the absence of DL standout Khreem Smith, who was traded to Utah last week, as the AFL season winds down.
Losing Smith won't make the DBs' jobs easier, but they might get a few more chances to generate turnovers, if the first game minus Smith is any indication. Their challenge will be tougher when Chicago visits Saturday. The Rush have 29 turnovers this season, compared to Philadelphia's 37.
More about the secondary, Erik Meyer, an injury update and a familiar face back at practice in the weekly Shock notebook that will run in Wednesday's S-R. You can have an early look right here.
UPDATED: 4:35 p.m.
Seattle University has accepted an invite to join the Western Athletic Conference, league commissioner Karl Benson announced this afternoon. Seattle U. is the second non-football playing school to join the WAC after the University of Denver came aboard with Texas State and Texas-San Antonio. The Redhawks will become members on July 1, 2012.
Utah Valley University was not offered an invitation, Benson said. This leaves the WAC will seven football playing schools and nine altogether starting in 2012. Benson said he would like to add more football members and could announce another round of expansion at this time next year, if not sooner.

Former Gonzaga Bulldog Manny Arop's basketball career will continue at Indiana State.
Arop had narrowed his choices to Indiana State and Valparaiso. He will have two years of eligibility after sitting out the upcoming season. Indiana State plays in the Missouri Valley Conference. Former Zag Grant Gibbs will be eligible at Creighton, another MVC school, this season.
Arop fell out of GU's rotation, playing in just eight of the team's last 15 games. More here and here.
Tulsa blitzed Utah 81-51 Saturday night to create a four-way tie for the fourth and last National Conference playoff berth. Tulsa, Utah, Spokane and San Jose are 5-7. Kansas City is 4-9.
More on Utah's third straight loss here and here. The game was another indication of how reliant AFL teams are on quarterback play. Utah's Tommy Grady, after a hot start, has struggled recently and the Blaze don't have Erik Meyer to call on. Meyer became Spokane's signal caller after the Shock acquired him in a trade two weeks ago. Meyer had a solid debut (seven touchdowns, one interception) in Spokane's 75-54 win over Philadelphia on Friday night. Grady, who apparently was battling the flu, had two interceptions returned for touchdowns.
Former Spokane offensive coordinator Matt Sauk served as Utah's interim head coach. Ron James didn't make the trip for medical reasons. Sauk is Utah's O.C. Utah has dropped its last two games by a combined 65 points.
Meanwhile, Tulsa's Justin Allgood, acquired from Philadelphia where he lost the starting job to Ryan Vena, was sharp in his return to his former squad. He had six touchdown passes as Tulsa scored an AFL season-high 81 points. Vena had a pair of interceptions returned for touchdowns against Spokane.
Meanwhile, Arizona continues to roll with a couple of ex-Shockies (Davila, Gray, McCullough).
Spokane plays Utah July 9 in the outdoor game at Albi and visits San Jose on July 16.
Back with my game story and John Blanchette's column from Spokane's 75-54 win over Philadelphia on Friday at the Arena.
Spokane scored a season-high 75 points. Erik Meyer threw seven touchdown passes and the defense scored twice on interceptions returns.
About 25 minutes before kickoff between Spokane and Philadelphia at the Arena. Not sure how full the building will be, especially with the 5 p.m. kickoff and the nasty traffic jam on I-90 that started before Thor for those coming in from the east.
The Shock are going big tonight, at least at receiver. No Raul Vijil or Shaun Kauleinamoku. Starters will be Emery Sammons (6-2), Markee White (6-7) and Greg Orton (6-3). Adron Tennell (6-4) will make his Shock debut. Shannon Tevaga is starting on the offensive line. Palauni Ma Sun will back up all three line spots.
For in-game updates, head to twitter.com/SRjimm.
We put together a short story on Kansas transfer Royce Woolridge announcing he's headed to Washington State. Read on.
Spokane, coming off a bye week, tries to end a two-game losing streak when Philadelphia visits the Arena tomorrow night. The Shock (4-7) have seven regular-season games left as they try to earn an at-large playoff berth.
Ryan Vena, the losing quarterback when Spokane crushed Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the 2009 arenacup, has done a good job piloting the Soul. He has a 4-2 record, even though he's had some turnover issues.
Here's my preview that will run in Friday's S-R.
—The Shock didn't sign ex-Vandal receiver Eric Greenwood, but he apparently made a good impression. He used two days of his four-day tryout, so he might be back for a couple more days next week. He'll also attend tomorrow's game.
For the first time in a long time, the Shock have their full roster of receivers (Orton, White, Vijil, Sammons, Kauleinamoku and Tennell). Coach Rob Keefe wouldn't disclose who will suit up, but he noted that Orton, who was banged up prior to the bye week, is feeling much better.
The WCC and ESPN on Wednesday announced an eight-team contract extension.
ESPN will televise at least 48 WCC men's basketball games annually on its family of networks. The WCC has averaged 38 games on ESPN the last three seasons.
More here.
I mentioned yesterday that Markee White practiced, testing a foot injury that has kept him out since the second game of the season. White (pictured above) was activated from injured reserve today. More here.
The Shock have another new starting quarterback (Kyle Rowley started first eight games, Bill Stull the ninth and Casey Hansen the 10th and 11th). After a four-year wait, Erik Meyer's turn comes Friday against Philadelphia.
Here's a look at Meyer and a couple of additional notes that will run in Tuesday's S-R.
A couple of other items. Stull (knee) took part in some conditioning work and occasionally threw passes on the side during practice. Rowley (shoulder) also threw quite a bit and served as Jack linebacker in a few drills. Coach Rob Keefe noted that both will return "sooner rather than later."
Stull is expected to return before Rowley, Keefe said. Both are eligible to leave injured reserve next week. Stull's is a "pain issue" while Rowley's is a "rest issue." Keefe said.
Eastern Washington's new men's basketball coach Jim Hayford continues to add size and talent to the Eagles' roster.
The latest addition is University of Oregon transfer Martin Seiferth, a 6-foot-10, 220-pound center from Berlin, German, who will sit out the 2011-12 season under the NCAA's transfer rule. You can read more on Seiferth here.
When reporters pointed out to Ken Bone on signing day the Cougars were committed to three players over the NCAA scholarship limit of 13, Bone pulled out an answer he's used before. By the start of the school year, he said (though I'm paraphrasing a bit), Washington State would be at or below the limit. With the announcement today freshman guard Dre Winston Jr., would not be back for his sophomore year, the Cougars are at 13. And there may be more to come. Read on.
The WNBA season opens tonight but the first game for the local trio is Saturday.
The Chicago Sky, with rookies Courtney Vandersloot (Gonzaga) and Angie Bjorklund (University HS) opens at Indiana, with third-year veteran Briann January (Lewis and Clark HS).
Preseason stories for the Sky and Fever project both Vandersloot and January as starting point guards and calls each of them the "Player on the Spot" for their team.
You can find information about the two teams and the league in general at ESPN.com, WNBA.com and Sports Illustrated. Most predictions have the Seattle Storm repeating as WNBA champion with Indiana expected to make the East Division playoffs. It's about 50-50 on the Sky making the top 4 in the East for the first time ever.
Seattle raises its banner Saturday in a noon game on ABC.
Chicago-Indiana is at 4 p.m., and it can be followed through the WNBA website or the team websites.
By the way, the game tonight, 8 p.m. , is Minnesota, with No. 1 draft pick Maya Moore, at Los Angeles and Candace Parker.
Indiana plays its only game at Seattle on June 17, Chicago's only trip is the season finale on Sept. 11 (you don't suppose that will get overshadowed quite a bit, do you?).
Each team only has one appearance on ESPN2 (full schedule below), Tulsa at Indian on June 14 and Seattle at Chicago on July 19.
Important dates for Spokane Chiefs fans this summer. First is a deadline for season tickets.

Early September 2011: - Individual game tickets go on sale
September 23-24, 2011: - Tentative WHL Opening Weekend

And an update on former Chief Kyle Beach … you won't be surprised the jury is split on his worth - and his maturity.
Spokane cut quarterback Casey Hansen, who started the last two games after injuries to Bill Stull and Kyle Rowley. Erik Meyer, acquired in a trade earlier this week, is expected to start next Friday (June 10th) against Philadelphia.
Also, one of the free-agent targets Spokane was looking at — ex-Shock DL Jeremy Geathers — signed with Chicago. By the way, Cleveland has signed ex-Shock QB Andrico Hines.
Here's a recap of Shock-related news.
Haven't been on the blog for a while, partly because there hasn't been huge news to report and partly because much of my time has been spent either covering college baseball – Gonzaga's three-game showdown for the West Coast Conference title last weekend – or prep golf or just catching up on personal stuff. But this afternoon we have some news to pass along, so we've put together a short post. Read on.

Vessel Traffic Service St. Marys River will open the waters between Nine Mile Point and Moon Island, effective 0800 EST March 12, 2010.
These preparations are being conducted in support of the March 21 opening of the Sault Locks and the start of the 2010 commercial navigation season.
The Coast Guard will make every effort to minimize the impact to Neebish Island ferry operations.
However, Neebish Island residents should prepare for minor service interruptions as the ice descending into the Rock Cut will most certainly prevent the ferry from operating normally.

New To Me - There Are Native Lamprey
Labels: ecology, fish;, invasive species
Lake Carriers Will Continue To Clunk Along
The anger is a bit disingenuous as there are many complaints and a desire for something to be done when raw sewage overflows into the St. Marys River - in many ways particulate air pollution is worse as it directly contributes to premature deaths. How is working for clean air in the Great Lakes different than working for clean water? Are these complainers going to threaten to move to Mexico because the government wants to improve the well being of the public? And have they been to Mexico? Do they have any idea how bad the air quality in Mexico City is?
Also, the reporter in the story wrote "The EPA regulation is set to go in effect in December which would seemingly prevent the good ships and crews from even completing the 2009-10 shipping season." but this is inaccurate. The Lake Carriers would have had until 2015 to fully meet the emissions requirements.
A compromise has been reached however. See: Deal struck on Great Lakes ship pollution
Congressional negotiators reached a deal Tuesday that would effectively exempt 13 ships that haul iron ore, coal and other freight on the Great Lakes from a proposed federal rule meant to reduce air pollution.

Laconia brush fires send firefighters to hospital
"They're not related," fire Capt. Bob Landry said Sunday.
Investigators are still working to determine the cause of both fires but don't suspect arson, he said.
"When you get a fire out in the woods, it's pretty hard to determine where it started," he said.
The first fire, reported at 1:45 p.m. behind 833 Weirs Blvd., grew to five alarms and 10 acres. About 50 firefighters from 15 communities responded. A firefighter was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital for heat exhaustion and released.
The second fire, reported at 10:50 p.m. near 672 Weirs Blvd., grew to two acres and two alarms, involving about 15 firefighters from four communities.
A firefighter "got poked in the eye with a branch and had to go to the hospital," Landry said. He was later released.

The National Sports of Club of India, getting ready to host the Indian Badminton League (IBL), looks not quite ready. Even as the concrete surface received its temporary flooring for the sport, there is sawdust in the main arena and electric wires hanging loose.
The stadium will host a big ticket event at 8 pm Monday, starring World no. 1 men�s singles player Lee Chong Wei.
�We�ll be ready on time,� said Sanket Shetty, the venue manager.
While the four teams � Pune, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi trundled into the city early Sunday, and World no. 1 Lee Chong Wei flew in from Malaysia, the stars gave the training courts a skip.
IBL�s schedule has been criticised by a few as players are taking flights at unearthly hours. How it�s received over the next two days will help gauge the response for the final to be held here on August 31.
Organisers say tickets have been sold out but the buzz is missing from the venue itself.

This handbook answers key early stage questions for those lacking experience in life science startup companies, or those simply willing to gain insight on the process. Carolina KickStart and Hutchison Law Group have produced this guide in an effort to better educate students, staff and faculty about the legal questions, pitfalls and expectations of spinning out a company.
In collaboration with Hutchison Law Group, University Spinout Founder's Handbook is available at no charge to any faculty member. The 40 page handbook covers the following:
- Evaluating the Idea
- Business Plan
- Choice of Entity
- Ownership of the Company
- My Role with the Company
- Angel and Venture Capital Basics
- Governance Rights
- Exit Rights
- Intellectual Property Basics
- Patents
- University Policies/Conflicts of Interest and Commitment
- Carolina Express License
- Sponsored Research Agreements
- Top 10 Startup Company Mistakes
The goal of our Biomedical eTeams (or entrepreneur teams) is to assemble multidisciplinary student teams to explore the commercial potential of UNC technologies.
Teams of three to five students – comprised of science, business, and law students – work together to assess applications of the technology and IP landscape, explore market opportunities, conduct market research, create a product development path, and more. Deliverables for eTeams include recommendation of the appropriate path for commercialization (i.e. licensing vs. startup) and a commercialization report that may serve as the foundation of a business plan.
