Go on a proactive visitor retention program. Make your site more sticky to the visitors you have.
I have a couple of questions.
First, is there evidence that Google gives a sticky site more weight in the serps?
Second, how does one make a site more sticky?
I know good navigation helps.
I also try make sure the first paragraph in an article catches the readers interest. I also put it in bold in hopes that skimmers will notice it.
But at the same time I have my AdSense units well placed which probably decreases stickiness. I can't really change this as it is my main source of income.
I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this topic.
It is written in their Patent Application
Thanks, now I see where the idea came from. I'm guessing we don't know if this is used in their algo yet then. But of course it doesn't hurt to be ready.
Amy, My understanding was that sticky relates to how long a visitor stays on the site with each visit. You may be right though. Tama, can you help us on this?
I am wondering how sticky a site needs to be. Obviously made for AdSense sites are not at all sticky. People will move on as quickly as possible. But even on legitimate sites a lot of people surf in and out after just a glance.
However, "stickiness" may not be the best way of looking at it. "Satisfaction" may be a better way.
In some categories, satisfaction may be measured effectively by stickiness (simply stated as more pageviews). In other categories, however, users may only need to view several pages before getting the info or result that they need. The SE's would want a way to determine therefore not just pages viewed (if they care about that at all), but satisfaction with pages viewed, whether the number of pages viewed is two or two hundred.
If I were a SE, I might watch to see what sites surfers return to the SERP's from for a given query, and what sites keep their visitors, or send them elsewhere. When a searcher clicks on a listing in the SERP's and quickly returns to the SERP's, it's a pretty good bet that the visited site did not offer what the searcher was looking for, for that particular query. ;-)
If I were a SE, I might watch to see what sites surfers return to the SERP's from for a given query, and what sites keep their visitors, or send them elsewhere
I hope the people running search engines are as sensible as you are. I especially like your including the send them elsewhere. I know I list relevant books and sites when I write an article. I'd hate to think that might be hurting my stickiness.
How do they track return visitors? Can they tell how many come in from bookmarks?

Delaware Motorcycle Accidents
If you ride a motorcycle in Delaware, you know of the many scenic byways and back roads. The state offers much to see from the seat of a bike. You also know to look out for other drivers when exploring. An accident with another vehicle can cause serious damage to your bike and body. If that happens, know that a Delaware bike accident lawyer can help you receive fair compensation if you are not at fault.
Proving Fault in a Delaware Auto Accident With a Motorcycle
You can get money to pay for your bike accident injuries and property damage. First, Delaware insurance regulations make you prove that the other driver holds more than 50 percent of the fault. Proof of bike accident liability can include:
- Police report stating a violation by the other driver
- Instances of no-doubt liability, such as a rear-end collision or a bike accident involving the other driver making a left-hand turn at a four-way stop
A Delaware motorcycle accident lawyer can obtain police reports for you and research state and local laws. This information is used to prove fault to the other driver's insurance company. This may result in a settlement without a trial. Talk to a bike accident attorney before taking any calls from an insurance company.
Personal Injury Lawsuit to Prove Liability in a Bike Accident
You also can file a lawsuit against the other driver. You do this if the cost of your bike accident injuries and property damage exceeds insurance coverage. You can also do this if the other driver does not have the insurance required by Delaware law. In Delaware, you have two years to hire a motorcycle accident attorney to file suit on your behalf. You may want to wait to see if your injuries cause any long-term effects. Do not miss the deadline, though.
Locate a Delaware Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Today
A skilled Delaware bike accident attorney can help you receive fair payment for an auto accident with your motorcycle. If you are not at fault, you should not be stuck with the bills. Your lawyer can negotiate with insurance companies and represent you in court. Call now to speak with a motorcycle accident attorney in Delaware at 877-913-7222.

Work on the Circuit of Wales in Ebbw Vale could begin next year
THE proposed race circuit in Wales has had £150m raised towards the project and proposals are expected to be submitted within the next month.
The Circuit of Wales, set to be built in Ebbw Vale, was revealed in November last year and will include a 3.5 mile track designed to FIM and FIA standards for events such as MotoGP, World Superbike and Touring Cars.
An international kart track, racing academy and motocross track are also included in the plans for the 830-acre site, alongside industrial, commercial and leisure units, a medical centre and a technology park.
Subject to planning permission the building of the £250m venue could begin next year with the circuit complete in 2015.
The planned circuit is expected to boost the Welsh economy by £50m a year in tourism and business investment, with additional hopes that the motorsport facility will bring 9,000 new jobs to the area.
Michael Carrick, Chief Executive of The Heads of the Valleys Development Company, is the Director in charge of delivering the project. He said: "We believe that we have identified an outstanding site in Ebbw Vale: it is on the boundary of a national park, close to major population centres, and the topography will allow us to create a unique, exciting, safe and stunning environment, which will offer an outstanding experience for competitors and spectators.
"Our discussions to date have been extremely positive, and we welcome the feedback on our proposals. We do hope to finalise our detailed plans during this year and commence work on the development early next year with a view to being operational in 2015."
Professor Garel Rhys, Chairman of the Welsh Automotive Forum, added: "This is an exciting opportunity and will place Wales at the forefront of automotive innovation and sustainable growth - as well as providing the access to an international track capable of hosting world class events.
"The term 'world class' is often wrongly used, but this project in all its various aspects - infrastructure, accommodation, events, and research and development - is most certainly worthy of such status. The knock-on effects will be profound and show that Wales can still attract big ticket projects."
The plans will now be put forward for public consultation, with events for local residents starting at the end of August.
If you want to see this circuit in Wales, click Like above and help spread the word on Facebook to build up support before the NIMBYs get in there.

A family holiday favourite, Jurien Bay on WA's (Western Australia's) Coral Coast offers fantastic fishing, great beaches and a good range of accommodation options. It's also ranked among the top WA fishing spots and the Jurien Marina (built in 1988) now provides a safe haven for a large number of crayfishing boats.
In 1801, French naval explorer Nicholas Baudin journeyed along the coast of WA and named Jurien Bay in honour of Charles Jurien, an administrator in the French Navy. In the 1950s and 60s, growing demand in Australia's rock lobster (crayfish) export market prompted the development of jetties, boatsheds and fisherman's shacks. In hot pursuit were the holidaymakers, who began building beach house accommodation and enjoying family fun in the sheltered waters.
There is a good selection of options available. Search the list of Australia's Coral Coast accommodation for accommodation in the Jurien Bay region of WA.
Visit the Dandaragan Shire website for more information about accommodation, tours and local attractions in WA's growing holiday hotspot, Jurien Bay, and the surrounding region of Australia's Coral Coast.

Phenology Model Database
Scientific name: Sorghum halpense
Phenology models predict timing of events in an organism's development. For many organisms which cannot internally regulate their own temperature, development is dependent on temperatures to which they are exposed in the environment.Information in this database comes from published articles. It may be used in conjunction with field monitoring and a degree-day calculator.
Note: Before using a model that was not field tested in your location, you should test the model for one or more seasons under your conditions to verify that it will work for you.
Model 1 of 1
Satorre, E.H., C.M. Ghersa, and A.M. Pataro. 1985. Prediction of Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers. rhizome sprout emergence in relation to air temperature. Weed Research 25:103-109.
Location of study: Rojas, Argentina (field studies)
Developmental threshold
Method of calculation: Max-Min Method: Degree-days = [(Tmax - Tmin)/2] - To, where Tmax is the daily max air temperature, Tmin is the daily min air temperature, To is the lower threshold. Set Degree-days to 0 when To > (Tmax - Tmin)/2.

text: Just noticed this for the first time halfway through my ride today. If I'm pedaling hard, the right side of my crank/pedal will make a clicking noise at the same spot through each rotation, just before my right foot hits the bottom of its rotation. The noise is accompanied by a weak jolt (really not the best word to describe this, but I'm tired and can't come up with a better one). Any thoughts?

Back – » 1. Screening » 2. Just the two of us » 3. Employer Team
The basic idea behind this mode is that several employees will interview you simultaneously and then collectively make a decision following the interview. These individuals might be part of the same team or different departments depending on the type of job you are interviewing for. In this type of interview, the interviewers are looking at how well you can manage stress and accommodate different lines of questioning.
Success Keys: Keep in mind that this type of interview allows those who favor you to outvote those who do not, and vice-versa. Therefore, you must attempt to win over everyone. In most cases, one individual will dominate the questioning, but you should still respond to everyone. Remember to make direct eye contact with everyone present. It will also serve you well to memorize names and job titles of all present so that you can target your questions directly to the person your question applies to.
Another interesting twist on team interviewing is where one interviewer or a team of interviewers will interview several candidates simultaneously. Questions are posed to the entire group and every one is given a few minutes to respond.
Success Keys: In most cases, companies applying this mode are looking for an employee who is a take-charge leader and one who is also able to work with a team. A leader will always communicate in a manner that includes others and brings out the best in everyone they interact with. During this type of interview your goal is to actively participate with your own ideas and integrate the ideas of others in the group as well.
During your research: During your research, determine the company's culture and how the company uses teams, and emulate that model during the interview.
Why you should worry: If you are a timid, all-people-pleaser type of person then you might have a challenging time at this type of interview. Most employers chose this type of format because it might imitate the actual job. Remember that if you are not the dominant responder and the smartest one in the group, then someone else is and they will certainly exploit your self-imposed submission. Just ask this engineer.
This is a popular interview method used by Fortune 500 firms on their MBA-types interviewees. During the interview, you are given a real-world case-a set of circumstances surrounding a particular work problem and asked to analyze it. For example, in an engineering interview you might be provided with details of a project's constraints and asked to discuss how you would address such constraints. You may be given anywhere from just a few minutes to overnight to prepare your response. After you respond, the interviewer will usually ask you questions to assess your ability to quickly comprehend relevant materials and communicate them effectively.
Success Keys: The real-world type of questions are meant to be complex and difficult to penetrate, therefore, you are not required to know every answer to a problem. The interviewer is simply attempting to assess whether you can quickly process information and apply some of the concepts you have learned during your education to the workplace. Always cite relevant sources and standards from your past classes, jobs or extracurricular experiences.
This type of interviewing is not popular for engineering jobs but it is still used by some companies nonetheless. In this interviewing style, you are typically requested to prepare a 10-20 minute presentation and deliver it to a team of interviewers. A company will usually ask you to give this talk based on one of three scenarios:
Whichever the scenario, your approach should be creative and informative clearly highlighting your potential worth to the company.
Success Keys: If a topic is assigned ahead of time, you will have an opportunity to research and prepare. Make sure your presentation has plenty of concrete points and back them up with examples based on your research.
If you are simply asked to present your job qualifications, try to summarize your education, relevant work experience and match your background and future goals with the company and the position.
If you're assigned a topic on the spot, the focus will usually be something general. Always use a standard presentation format which includes; an introduction, two or three key points and a conclusion. Keep in mind that the company might judge your presentation skills partly by how well you manage the related technology. Make sure you can use an overhead, computer software and computer hardware competently. For a presentation assigned ahead of time, remember to come prepared with backup transparencies just in case a computer hardware problem occurs.
Next – » 8. Behavioral » 9. Situational » 10. Multiple Levels
It is all about team work 😀
[…] it is much easier to anticipate the general type of engineering questions that you might encounter during an engineering interview, it is not quite the same when it comes […]
thanx a lot…

Earth Day occurs on a Monday this year, but the Emerald City, living up to its green reputation, has a wide array of activities taking place earlier. Many of this year's events have an artistic streak, but those looking to get their hands dirty won't be left out, either.
Families might want to drop by Seattle Center noon-4 p.m. Saturday. The day's activities include a scavenger hunt, a tour of the center's trees, community crocheting with Mandy Greer, as well as performances of the first two operas in the trilogy "Our Earth," commissioned by the Seattle Opera in partnership with The Nature Conservancy. Free performances of the first two short pieces in the series, "Heron and the Salmon Girl" and "Rushing Upriver," begin at 1:30 p.m. in Fisher Pavilion.
The trilogy, with libretti by poet and author Irene Keliher and music by composer Eric Banks, follows a pair of siblings as they travel through Northwest ecosystems in search of a salmon population gone mysteriously missing.
"A really powerful theme that comes out of this is the interrelationship between the pieces of ecosystems, including humans," Keliher said. "Children might be thinking a little differently about the world around them when they leave."

The Olympic Sculpture Park offers an eclectic selection of things to do 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. Members of a variety of groups, from NOAA's Northwest Fishery Science Center to The Public Trust for Land to the Beacon Food Forest, will be on hand. Representatives from the Beacon Food Forest, an urban farm in Beacon Hill that mimics a natural woodland, have created an educational sculpture of the pieces of the food forest's edible ecosystem from overhead trees to low-lying groundcover. The speakers will assemble the sculpture's seven parts to explain how the food forest plants large trees, shrubs, root vegetables, climbing vines and more in the same area, creating a diverse, edible ecosystem.
Visitors can listen at several stations inside the park's PACCAR pavilion to a musical installation by local composer Abby Aresty. The 12-minute loop is a blend of recorded nature sounds and ambient effects. There will also be live music and a tour of the park's plant life led by staff gardener Bobby McCullough.

I have a Norco Rampage that you can check out here http://www.norco.com/bikes/2004bikes/rampage.htm I bought in the middle of summer. Me and some friend messed around with it and its now a single speed. It has a BMX casette and an extra large BMX chain. I have alex rims in the front and in the back and the back doesn't stay true that much, since I wasnt too nice with it. So I'm going to need to change it soon. I was wondering if getting a 24" rims in the back would be better or worst for street and DH. I think its better for street and not so good for DH but I'm not so sure about that. And what kind of rims should I get for DH that would work pretty nicely and stay true enough so that I don't have to fix them everytime I come back from a day ride.
Thx any comments should help me greatly.

Does algorithm design become harder in the presence of incentive constraints? The theory of algorithmic mechanism design is largely founded on the presumption that the answer is affirmative, a presumption that has been rigorously confirmed under various interpretations of the question. This is unfortunate, since it would be very convenient if there existed generic procedures to convert any algorithm into an incentive-compatible mechanism with little or no computational overhead.
In this talk I will identify two broad settings in which such generic procedures exist. First, I will present a reduction that removes the computational overhead of computing payments in truthful mechanisms: it transforms any monotone allocation function into a randomized, truthful-in-expectation mechanism that evaluates the allocation function only once. Second, I will present a polynomial-time reduction transforming an arbitrary algorithm into a Bayesian incentive-compatible mechanism, given a suitable amount of information about the type distributions of agents.
The first result is joint work with Moshe Babaioff and Alex Slivkins; the second result is joint work with Jason Hartline and Azarakhsh Malekian.

Stumble It!
English - a funny spelling poem by Australian poet Graeme King - funny poems, sad poems, serious poems and romantic poems. Poems for children, nature poems and environment poems, flash poetry, fantasy poems, funny limericks and more
I'd like to learn
to spell, but please, can someone show me how?
I'm not much good
at English, nowhere near as good as thou,
Some words can
leave me crying somewhat like a cat's miaow,
I dangle in the
spelling like a swing hangs from a bough.
"I'll never master
spelling" is my daily waking thought,
I try hard to
remember all the words that I've been taught;
"Rules must be
obeyed?" a tort! It's nothing of the sort,
I'm thwarted
everywhere I turn, I'm under stress, I'm taut!
I need some help
from someone - do you think it might be you?
Just a soupcon of
tuition, that would help me through;
You have such
beauty in your words, I'd be a writer, true,
The English
language, known by all but spelt right by too few.
I want to mold the
words into a snowball I can throw,
I want to be a
writer just like Edgar Allen Poe;
I'd knead a dough
of poetry that every girl and beau
Could say with
love, as into Cupid's heaven they did go.
The ways these
letters may be stirred – finally I have concurred
I'm not a nerd, or
even smart, in fact I find it quite absurd
To have two
choices, maybe, but whenever there's a third
I toss a coin and
always say that famed four-lettered word.

The Mists of Paoru
XP Rewards and Distribution
Standard XP
When calculating xp at the end of a session, I use the CR table loosely if there was combat. The reason I say loosely is that this is a custom campaign with custom creatures and races and often the creatures will not correspond directly to any other creature in the bestiary. Some custom monsters will have abilities that may place them higher but I balance those with weaknesses. But you will always receive XP for combat situations.
Skill Challenges
Skill challenges are treated like a combat encounter on the CR table and may increase or decrease accordingly with their challenge level. Skill challenges are any complex situation which requires the characters to roll their skills in order to achieve a successful outcome or to survive. This does not include any time you roll skills.
Character Logs
The formula for character logs is as follows:
A standard log written in character receives the minimum xp bonus of the party's CR level after being divided among PCs. A log that merely recounts events and doesn't add any flavour will only receive half of the standard CR level XP.
You receive a %25 xp bonus if the log is written in the character's voice, or if the log is humourously or colorfully written. A %50 bonus if both, grammatical errors and spelling mistakes are penalized.
Once per session, a player may receive another %50 bonus if their character displays growth whether that growth is negative or positive.

As a fan of articles, I think this impose us to have a great opportunity, to see more of the houses and understand the roots of things, which are beyond of our understanding. At young age, I am and in the a serious financial business, I do think that this gives me the opportunity to see and read more and all in our ancestors book. Beautifull concept;!
I am trying to follow my children's ancestors in the Netherlands but having no luck at all past one generation. Their grandparents parents immigrated to the US in the 1880s — Kroese and Fischer – but no records seem to be available for them. Jannes Kroese, also Cornelis Kroese.
On my side of the family I have many Dutch ancestors that I can trace to the 1600s, so if there are records for them, why aren't there any for the Kroese's. The one significant difference I have found is that my ancestors – Pieter Clauessen (Wyckoff) came in the early 1600s as a founder of cities in New Amsterdam.
You would think later immigrants would have more records.

Lab worker is accused of falsifying urine samples
A worker for a lab that contracts with Oklahoma County to perform drug testing is accused of falsifying urine samples for money, court records show.
Compliance Resource Group operates the lab, which contracts with Oklahoma County's drug court program, prosecutors said.
John A. Barfield, 24, of Newalla, was arrested Tuesday and booked into the Oklahoma County jail on eight complaints of false preparation of exhibits as evidence and five counts of violating the Oklahoma computer crimes act, records show.
He was released Thursday on $26,000 bail, a detention officer said.
He could not be reached for comment Friday.
Barfield is accused of fixing drug tests for money between Dec. 1 and Jan. 29 and using his cellphone to facilitate the transactions, according to prosecutors and a probable cause affidavit.
Barfield, the affidavit states, was paid by a confidential informant for his action in "falsifying the evidence."
Barfield falsified records to show clean urine samples when no urinalysis was actually done, a prosecutor said Friday.
Lab director Jim Tedrow said Compliance Resource Group is cooperating with authorities.
"The integrity of our testing process has always been and will continue to be of the utmost importance," Tedrow said.
Tedrow declined to discuss Barfield's employment status, except to say, "To the best of my knowledge, there are no allegations against our current employees."

Once, like a Tiger burning bright, as William Blake has said,
The Tiger with a driver left the other guys for dead …
Or not "for dead," precisely; though he wouldn't let them win,
They all were making money, for the racket they were in
Was riding Tiger's tail into a stratosphere of sorts;
And golf, all thanks to Tiger, was among the kings of sports.
But time and tide and aching backs, alas, will have their way,
And what for weekend golfers can remain a kind of play
Is work for a professional, and grinding work at that.
And swinging often from the heels sends pain up toward your hat.
And aching knees contribute to a golfer's fade as well,
And feet that do not hurt are rare as icicles in hell.
You get the point. It's true of champs; it's true as well of bums …
The biggest winners fade away, as do those chasing crumbs.
Yup, Shakespeare mentioned long ago that golden Tigers must
Like chimney sweeps and hopeless duffers, finally come to dust …
(I may not quite have put it then as Shakespeare did, but still,
I'm sure you will forgive my taking liberties with Will.)
And if that time has come for Tiger Woods, well, so it goes,
And up and down golf's ladder, from the hackers to the pros,
There will, I'm sure, be consequences dire, bleak and grim,
For as he tumbles, Tiger's taking golf with falling him.
But "dust's" a little grisly. Tiger Woods is far from dead.
He may not pass Jack Nicklaus. He may have to be, instead,
Among the greatest golfers, if not lonely at the top …
And this is only if, in fact, he finds he has to stop.
But if his time for winning Majors has run out at last,
Is being almost at the top of something rich and vast
As golfing's happy history so bad, when all is done?
I think it's not, and Tiger's doubtless had a lot of fun
Being Tiger while the good times rolled, one bright day and another.
For once he had it all, and as they say, that beats the other.

The Cyclones repeated as Big Eight champions in 1971 with Corrigan playing primarily at catcher. The Cyclone star led the squad in batting (.349) and earned first-team all-Big Eight and All-America honors for the second consecutive season, this time at catcher. The Cyclones fell short of another CWS appearance after losing to
Poor weather, injuries and tough luck hurt ISU in Corrigan's senior season in 1972. Though the team struggled through adversity, Corrigan posted a .354 batting average en route to second-team all-Big Eight honors. Corrigan tallied a .352 career batting average, which ranks fourth on the ISU career list and ranks No. 1 in the pre-aluminum bat era.
Corrigan was drafted in the fourth round of the major league baseball draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers after his ISU career was over. He pitched seven seasons in the Los Angeles Dodgers and Minnesota Twins organizations, earning a major league contract with the Dodgers in 1975. He pitched three years in Triple-A level ball until 1978 when he accepted the assistant coaching position at

Lately my Mom has slurred speech off and on and drools. We notice that it seems to happen after all the meds are given. We haven't figured out yet which medicine is causing this, (if it is indeed a med) Constantly complains of headache, have retina specialist appointment coming up, we are thinking another change in glasses due to changes with vision. Any ideas on the speech and drooling?
I thin the first thing is to mention in a post like this what medications she is taking. I agree with above...DO NOT STOP until professionally advised. I am physician with 30 years experience so this could be quite simple to fix with an MD......unfair to expect pharmacist to make those calls.
I'm with suky888, this should be tended to immediately.
YES! It definitely could be medications! It could be a stroke or something medical too, but if she has recently changed meds I would take it very seriously!! My mom's doctor put her on a med a while back that did JUST that!! It was HORRIBLE. It almost killed her! Don't ignore this. Check it out and find out what is the cause! Either way, it most likely needs to be adressed!!
Are all the meds coming from the same pharmacy?, Has one Dr. looked at all the Rx's, has one Pharmacist evaluated all the Rx's Do a search for 'Polypharmacy', you will learn a lot, it is important for most people to understand how this reacts with people at differing age groups. and also interaction with things like pepto bismo before or after taking.
It is very much worth looking into. Talk to your mother's pharmacist and doctor. Don't leave until you have answers and a real plan. This is my mother's story. My mother was on about 15 different medications. Doctors at Kaiser LOVE to prescribe, and my mother is a hypochondriac. For several years she was having constant falls, her speech was always slurred, she shook as if she had palsy, and she was NOT in her right mind, but it was not until after two falls within a month left her with a break in a right ankle and a break in her left tibia and the fact that they were not healing, that she finally allowed me to take some charge of her medical. I used a Drug website that allowed me to type in all of her meds and then they were processed for all possible interactions. The biggest problem was that they had her on 4 central nervous system depressants, and 1 SSRI. 1 interaction was potentially fatal, and more than several interactions were highly cautioned. Some interactions caused the falling, dizziness, slurred speech, improper thinking, and the rest of the interactions seemed to cause the same symptoms my mother was trying to have treated! I printed up the 18 pages and brought them to my mother's next doctor's appointment. Based on that she was titrated down on one or two, and some others were eliminated. Within a couple months four were stopped and one was exchanged for something much less dangerous. I added in some supplements with her doctors approval, ester C and zinc because she was in a board and care facility and exposed often to sick people. A supplement which contained Fish, Flax, and Borage Oils for ALL her Omegas for heart health. Calcium, magnesium, and D3 for her bones to knit faster and her mood to improve, (she had been casted for over three months and had shown no healing, casts did not come off until almost five months after the initial break). Four months after my mother let me have a little control she was able to walk with a walker, her speech was no longer slurred and her shaking was completely gone! She used to shake so badly that she could not hold a drink and was barely able to feed herself. Within six months she could walk without a walker.
There is another situation that this might indicate,has she had a fall lately and bumped her head? My father has Normal pressure hydroceaphlus(water on the brain) Yhis caused him the same symptums you describe with also a walking problem, took him to a neurologist who figured this out.(he had a fall+ headaches so they did a CAT scan- no concussion so they sent him home ( a month later I insisited on the neurologist visit and using the SAME CAT film diagnosed Dad with NPH)
In our case, taking Mom off Neurontin stopped the slurred speech, however, she did NOT have a drooling issue.
yes, it can. contact doctor and drug store.
Thanks to everyone for your input. Mom is on the following drugs: Celebrex (2x day) Tramadol (as needed) Namenda twice a day (recommeded 4 x day) but it makes her loopey and out of it, so twice a day, xanax (1/2 tab ) at night only to help her get to sleep if needed, Lasix (alternating 80 mg MWF and 60 mg TTSS), Kdur 20meq (2 x day) Fenofibrate (1 x day) Omeprazole (1-2 x day) Docusate (2 x day) Warfarin (MWF 5 mg, TTSS 2.5 mg) Metropolol (2 x day) Levothyroxine (1 x day) Isosorbide (1 x day) Metoclorapamide (4 x day) Vit D (1 x week). Iron (2 x day for anemia) Her Medical is: Congestive Heart Failure, Angina, Diverticulitis/Diverticulosis, Macular Degenerative Disease, Diabetic (controlled) and of course Alzheimers. We started her back on the Ocuguard Plus Eye Capsules about a month ago which I thin could be the culprit with the benadryl. Cardiologist/Hematologist/GI and PCP will not sedate her at our request as her organs are only functioning at 1/4 capacity and have been for many years now.
The Omeprazole can increase the blood level of Xanax. This can increase the risk of side effects including excessive drowsiness and breathing difficulties. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor. Talk to your doctor before using Tramadol together with metoclopramide. Fenofibrate can increase the effects of warfarin and cause you to bleed more easily. Using warfarin together with traMADol may cause you to bleed more easily. Using warfarin together with celecoxib may cause you to bleed more easily. You may need a dose adjustment based on your prothrombin time or International Normalized Ratio (INR). Using ALPRAZolam, (Xanax), together with Tramadol may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Using diphenhydramine-(Benedryl), together with traMADol may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Celecoxib may increase the blood levels and effects of Tramadol. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Using metoprolol together with celecoxib can increase your blood levels of metoprolol. This can lower your blood pressure and slow your heart rate, causing side effects such as slow heartbeat, headaches, dizziness, or feeling like you might pass out. Talk with your doctor before using these medications together, and report any side effects promptly. Using omeprazole together with furosemide may cause a condition called hypomagnesemia, or low blood magnesium. Drugs known as proton pump inhibitors including omeprazole can cause hypomagnesemia when used for a prolonged period, and the risk may be further increased when combined with other medications that also have this effect such as furosemide. In severe cases, hypomagnesemia can lead to irregular heart rhythm, palpitations, muscle spasm, tremor, or seizures. Ask your doctor before using diphenhydramine-(Benedryl) and metoclopramide. Using these medications together may cause metoclopramide to be less effective. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor. Furosemide and diphenhydramine-(Benedryl) may have additive effects in lowering your blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate. I go to a great little dotcom called Drugs. I plug in every single medication and it gives me a list like the above I made for you. By the way, you really need to go to this website and do it for yourself. I abbreviated each result up there because the page of results from your drug list is very very long. I could not even show you all of the results. I suggest that you speak with your doctor and pharmacist with the results from that website all printed up. I understand that you would like your mother sedated, not sure why but. . . . anyways you probably should not do so, the diphenhydramine-(Benedryl), is just not a good idea. If your doctors will not sedate her, it's because her heart/lungs/kidneys/central nervous system cannot handle sedation. The drooling would be enough proof I would think.

READ: What Are the Details of Senator Dianne Feinstein's Proposed Assault Weapons Ban?
Earlier, Senator Dianne Feinstein proposed new gun control legislation that included a ban on assault weapons.
Below are the details of the bill, as outlined in a press release by Feinstein. Click here, for the full list of more than 150 firearms that Feinstein wants to ban.
- First, the bill prohibits the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 157 of the most commonly-owned military-style assault weapons. It also bans an additional group of assault weapons that can accept a detachable ammunition magazine and have one or more military characteristics.
- Second, the bill bans large-capacity magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. These devices allow shooters to fire numerous rounds in rapid succession without having to stop and reload.
The legislation also protects the rights of law-abiding citizens who use guns for hunting, household defense or legitimate recreational purposes. The Assault Weapons Ban includes a grandfather clause that specifically exempts all assault weapons lawfully possessed at the date of enactment from the ban. The legislation also excludes:
- More than 2,200 legitimate hunting and sporting rifles by specific make and model;
- Any gun manually operated by bolt, pump, lever or slide action; and
- Weapons used by government officials, law enforcement and retired law enforcement.
Other key provisions in the bill:
- Requires background checks on all future transfers of assault weapons covered by the legislation, including sale, trade and gift;
- Requires that grandfathered assault weapons be stored safely using a secure gun storage or safety device in order to keep them away from prohibited persons; and
- Prohibits the sale or transfer of high-capacity ammunition feeding devices currently in existence.

What are Free Trial Offers?
Free trial offers are all over the Internet. Many of them pop up in ad windows as you browse the Internet, and others can be seen in banner ads along the sides of the screen. Most (but not all) free trial advertisements are calculated to get money from users. They are usually for products like weight loss pills and teeth whiteners.
- In most cases, the product will be advertised as free. There will, however, be a small shipping and handling fee that requires you to give the site your credit card information. The first shipment of the product will come free of charge, but you will be assessed exorbitant fees for additional shipments within as little as a week. The fine print mentioned that you would be charged these fees, but the message was given in a deceptive way so that it was almost impossible for you to know of any of it. After a series of phone calls and long periods of being put on hold, you will be able to cancel your order. However, the charges already assessed will not be returned.
- Often, the information about the additional fees is near impossible to find. Scammers can hide this information in several ways:
- The information may be typed in a color almost identical to the background color of the ad.
- The company may spell out the numbers as well as the word dollars so that your eye will not catch a money amount as it scans the screen.
How Can I Stay Safe?
- Don't ever sign up for free trial offers of any kind online.
- Before you give any financial information to any website, be sure you are at a trustworthy website and that you understand the site's terms of use.
- If you are already ensnared in a free trial offer scam, and you can't get the "company" involved to cancel your contract, you may need to go so far as to cancel your credit card. You may then be able to appeal the fraudulent charges to your credit card company.
Where Can I Learn More?
Here's a CNN Moneywatch article about free trial scams.

15 Spinning Wheel Road, Suite 432 • Hinsdale, IL 60521
Looking Back to Record Winning Wager (01/03/13)
Posted Thursday January 4, 2013
By Mike Paradise
Looking Back
Record Illinois Bet Ticket
While the recent $70,109 winning Pick 5 payoff was a record for Balmoral Park it was far from the highest payout in Illinois Standardbred history. In fact it's 10 times less than what occurred back in 1985 at Sportsman's Park.
On Wednesday night, July 24 of that year a Super Bet pool of $1,469,789 was shared by two winning tickets. Each collected a whopping $734,894!
A CTA bus driver, Curtis Banks, receieved his share of the bonanza payout by using a $64 wheel. A four-partner betting group team got the other portion of the gigantic pot.
Shown above is the infamous Super Bet winning ticket that wasn't. Just two nights earlier later on a Monday night at Sportsman's Park a patron boxed four horses in each of the Super Bowl races, but then he had the above ticket canceled when he realized it cost $3,456.
Had he kept it, he would have collected $1,094,109, which would have made him the first seven-figure payoff winner in pari-mutuel history.
Instead two nights later it was hit by Curtis and a foursome of very happy players. The following week Mr. Banks bought everyone in attendance that night at Sportsman's Park a drink to celebrate his good fortune.
I doubt Mr. Banks did much bus driving the rest of that summer.

Project Status: 3 March 2006 (Friday afternoon)
Precipitation in the American River Basin is presently winding down. IOP-13 ended a short time ago at 20 UTC.
Attention now turns to the next event that is bearing down on northern California. The timing for this event has evolved quite a bit over the last couple forecast cycles, with earlier onsets in evidence for each succeeding forecast. At present, the forecast calls for light precipitation to begin in our target area Saturday night into Sunday morning. Precipitation intensity is forecast to increase during the day on Sunday into Sunday night, with cold frontal passage sometime between 06-12 UTC Monday (Sunday night into Monday morning). Thereafter, the precipitation will linger quite a while, being helped by a few postfrontal cold surges. Precipitation will probably continue into Tuesday. Snow levels will start out around 5-6 kft on Sunday, then descend to 3-4 kft during the Monday-Tuesday time period.
There will be HMT-West operations for this event, which will be IOP-14. Ellen Sukovich will deploy to the area on Saturday to operate XPOL starting Saturday evening. The desired plan for Sloughhouse soundings is to begin operations at 09 UTC Sunday (i.e., Sunday morning) and continue through 00 UTC Tuesday (i.e., Monday afternoon). Dave White is attempting to line up the students to perform these launches. If executed as desired, this plan would exhaust the Sloughhouse sounding resources for the project.

Zac Stacy had 17 carries for 53 yards to go with four catches for 34 yards and a score in defeat. St. Louis slipped to 3-and-4. The Rams host the Seahawks on Monday, October 28th.

Jayden Bennett wasn't thinking of himself the day before the cancer took his life.
After a family dinner in downtown Kuna, Jayden, 11, told his grandma he wanted to go shopping the next day, to buy some special Christmas presents for some of his favorite people.
"I told him, Jay, tomorrow's Thanksgiving. Nothing's open," said Liz Kessinger, Jayden's grandmother, noting the family already had plans for Friday: Jayden was scheduled drop the ceremonial first puck at the Idaho Steelheads game, and he was pretty excited about it.
But he didn't get to shop, or go to the game.
Jayden died Nov. 22, Thanksgiving Day, when illness overcame him.
Jayden was a 7-year-old first-grader attending Indian Creek Elementary when he was diagnosed with cancer.
After complaining about pain in his leg, Jayden's mom, Boni, scheduled a trip to the doctor for her son.
"That's when the battery of tests began: an x-ray, MRI, bone scan, CAT scan, PET scan and eventually a biopsy. The news was not good: Jayden had cancer, specifically, osteosarcoma, a type of cancer of the bone, with a malignant tumor found on his femur," wrote former Kuna Melba News editor Scott McIntosh in the May 2, 2009 edition of the KMN. "In addition, about 20 spots of cancer were found on his lungs and a spot on his spine. Doctors started Jayden on chemotherapy immediately, surgically implanting a port under his skin on the right side of his chest on April 7, with his first treatment that night.
Jayden went back into the hospital last week for another round of chemo. He was scheduled to come home for a couple of days this week, then back in the hospital for five days, home for two days, hospital five days, for a grueling 10 weeks of chemotherapy."
McIntosh continued to follow Jayden's story, and it was just the beginning for Jayden and his family, who would traverse three-and-a-half years of treatment, hope, side-effects, pain, love and an outpouring of support from the Kuna community and beyond.
Through it all, Jayden kept his head up and defied the odds.
When he was 8, Jayden was reportedly "in really good spirits, big time," after having his left leg amputated.
"He's doing great, he's joking with the doctors, asking them all sorts of questions," Kessinger told the KMN in August 2009. The cancer, by then, had also spread to his lungs and his back. Later, it would invade his liver, too.
Still, Jayden was always eager to accept and explore new opportunities.
He had a great time riding on a Kuna fire truck at a Kuna Days Parade, hung out with Ronald McDonald at the Ronald McDonald House in Houston, Texas, and climbed aboard a LifeFlight helicopter that arrived at Ross Elementary to pick him up.
After being inducted into the Treasure Valley Young Marines, Jayden was flown from Ross to Gowen Field, where he was given a personal tour and operated a flight simulator.
Around town, when word initially broke about Jayden's illness, the community rallied, provided support, held fundraisers and collected thousands of dollars.
So, although the grieving family wasn't up to talking this week, they did wish to express deep gratitude for the outpouring of support over the last three-and-a-half years.
"Everyone in Kuna has been just really amazing," Kessinger said.
A Celebration of Jayden's Life will be held at 6 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 22, at the 4th Street Gym in Kuna. Additional details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Come join us!
We are working on putting a tough truck type competition together for sometime in Sept and it will be held at RC Excitement in Fitchburg, MA. Matt Higgins has two trucks already built for the event and I have decided to build one myself. I based my truck on a Tamiya Toyota Tundra. I wanted to give you guys a sneak peak at my truck. I have a long way to go but I think it's safe to say that it's looking pretty good so far. I have to finish up the paint and set up the steering to complete the truck. I have a few other things that I'm going to add to put this truck over the top so stay tuned. We hope that you guys will join us for our tough truck comp. We are planning on having a rock crawl, mud bog, truck pull and more. If you don't have a truck yet, get one and start building.

By: Madan Sabnavis, Chief Economist, CARE Ratings
Financial inclusion and equity markets are two sacred shibboleths that are hard to dislodge, and questioning them is blasphemy. The first is an indicator that someone cares while the other is held sacrosanct as it represents everything that success all about. It is against this background that one can review the issue of tax arbitrage which has been in the spotlight in the Budget.

Deborah Harkness' #1 New York Times bestselling All Souls Trilogy ends with the publication of The Book of Life (Viking Adult) on July 15. The series, including A Discovery of Witches (2011) and Shadow of Night (2013), follows the adventures of historian Diana Bishop, a witch with deep ties to Salem, and Matthew Clairmont, a geneticist and vampire. Their love story takes them around the globe — even through time — to uncover the mystery of an enchanted manuscript that may hold the secrets to the existence of all supernatural creatures. Speaking with USC Dornsife's Michelle Boston, Harkness, professor of history, continues to captivate.
Will Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont uncover the secret of enchanted manuscript Ashmole 782? Readers will find out when The Book of Life hits bookstores July 15.
M.B.: Can you give us a teaser of the final installment of the All Souls Trilogy?
D.H.: Readers can look forward to revisiting the characters and places they've loved in the series, as well as some surprises and the tying up of the plot.
M.B.: How did you feel about concluding the story? Did you worry about angering your fans if you ended it 'wrong'?
D.H.: It was strange finishing the trilogy. Suddenly, my house seemed very quiet! I've been living with the characters for five years, after all. As for the fans, I hope they enjoy it, of course. But I can't write the story they want. I can only write the story that has to be written.
M.B.: You have a very devoted fan base. What have been some of the creative ways that your most fervent fans have shared their appreciation for your books? What kind of reactions have you received from your students at USC Dornsife about the books?
D.H.: Fans have made up Pinterest boards, spun yarn, made quilts, crafted soaps and perfumes, fashioned jewelry — you name it. They are indeed a creative bunch! My students are very respectful of the fact that they're in my classroom to learn history. But I have more traffic in office hours from students who want to talk about writing fiction, adapting fiction to film and get books signed for their mom!
M.B.: Have you brought any aspect of your trilogy to your teaching?
D.H.: No, but there is a lot of my teaching in the trilogy! Students who do read the books tell me they laugh when they read about something in the book that was a subject of a lecture or discussion, like what life was like at the court of Elizabeth I, how science was practiced in Elizabethan London, or John Dee's interest in alchemy.
M.B.: Readers have been enchanted by the love story between main characters Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont. What did you enjoy most about devising their adventures and their romance? What will you miss most writing about them?
D.H.: I enjoyed trying to make their relationship real. Both of them are crabby, opinionated academics. It's not always smooth sailing when two smart people get together, but in fiction it often seems like it. As for what I will miss — everything!
M.B.: What do you bring that is different to the craft of writing fiction as a historian, specifically of Early Modern Europe?
D.H.: I'm not sure, because I've never written fiction as anything but a historian. I do have a new appreciation for the difference between careful research of a subject and deep immersion. As a historian, I am deeply immersed in the early modern period. I know how early modern people thought and behaved. In writing the final book, I needed to do research on more modern subjects. As a historian, I know how to research. I was careful. But I don't have a feeling for the period, and I got things wrong. Happily, I have very generous colleagues who helped to sort me out. I came away with an even greater appreciation for just how hard it is to be a good historian, and how lucky our students are to learn from the very best here at USC.
M.B.: Is there a broader message in your novels that you want readers to grasp?
D.H.: Yes. That empathy is the most important power there is. Without it, we are doomed. With it, we can truly change the world.
M.B.: Are any aspects of the storyline or characters autobiographical in any way?
D.H.: Of course. You have to write what you know. So Matthew has my love of wine, and Marcus my love of sports cars, Diana is a historian, and Emily makes dishes from my recipe box. The Bishop house is based on a house I owned and another one I wished I owned. The list is long!
M.B.: You spent time abroad researching the settings for your books. Can you tell us some of the places you visited and how they helped you to convey their atmosphere in your novels?
D.H.: I visited Prague and Venice specifically for the trilogy. I'd studied both cities, but I knew that I couldn't bring them to life like I had Oxford or London without visiting them. I also spent time in New Orleans. The most important place I visited, however, was the small village of St.-Arcons-d'Allier in the Auvergne region of south-central France, which became my model for the village of St.-Lucien, Matthew's hometown.
M.B.: Previously there was talk of developing your books into movies. What is the status of that plan? Any other venues for the series?
D.H.: As often happens, the film option with Warner Brothers lapsed before they went into production. A team of talented, committed people worked very hard to bring the series to cinematic life, but it is a complicated story.
M.B.: Did you books sell more in ebooks or traditional paper/hard back books? Which way do you prefer reading?
D.H.: I honestly have no idea! I suppose I should distinguish between them, but to me a book is a book. Maybe that's because I study the history of books and reading, and know that format revolutions happen all the time and they are the way of the world. I read hardbacks, paperbacks, online, tablets — you name it. The one thing I can't do is read on my phone. When I see my students do it, I'm amazed.
M.B.: With the All Souls Trilogy completed, what is your next big project?
D.H.: Spring semester 2015! I'll be teaching a new seminar on public history and I can't wait.
(Public history takes students outside traditional academic settings and teaches history through institutions such as archives, historical houses or societies, museums, consulting firms, history libraries and other public venues.)
