Dark energy wins science's "breakthrough of year" award for 2003, as reported in Science, vol 302, p2038 19 Dec 2003, and New Scientist 20 Dec 2003, p16. Over recent years cosmologists have come up with the "concordance" model of the universe, claiming it consists of "73% dark energy (nature unknown), 23% cold dark matter (nature unknown") and 4% ordinary matter." The "ordinary matter" is the only part that can be actually seen and measured. Dark energy and cold dark matter cannot be observed or measured but they are assumed to exist in order to explain some strange observations that don't fit the Big Bang theory. Dark energy was first postulated in the late 1990s when scientists using the apparent brightness of some supernovas to measure the rate of expansion of the universe came to the conclusion that it was accelerating, when they expected the gravitational force of galaxies and other objects in the universe to be slowing it down. To explain the apparent acceleration they invoked an anti-gravity force called "dark energy" that was driving the galaxies apart at an ever increasing rate. In 2003 scientists compared data from a survey of cosmic microwave radiation and another a survey of distant galaxies and claimed their results confirmed the existence of dark energy. However, not all astronomers are convinced. According to a report from BBC News 18 Dec 2003 astronomers measured the x-ray emissions from distant galaxy clusters and concluded there was "a lot of matter in the universe and that leaves little room for dark energy."
Editorial Comment: The assumption that the universe is expanding is based on the red shift of light coming from objects far out in space. This is assumed to be due to the Doppler effect, i.e. stretching of light waves emitted from a moving source as it moves away from the observer. However, red shift can also be explained by a decrease in the speed of light from objects that are far away, but not accelerating away from us. If this is true there is no need for any mysterious gravity defying dark energy. For a more detailed explanation of red shift and the energy in the universe see "The Red Shift and the Zero Point Energy" by Barry Setterfield and Daniel Dzimano, Journal of Theoretics, 29 Dec 2003.

Stools for the wheels AND using wheels in a stand up position

Slick! Is it a round or square one? No back rest, right?
I use a shower stool that I purchased at a drug store. It adjusts in height, and I can adjust two of the legs to be shorter than the others - built in tilt! In addition, it is shower proof, so when I get clay on it I can just shower it down.
Posted 20 August 2013 - 11:35 PM
I just want to report back. A few months I bought ST4 and the round shower stool suggested by PianoSal. Two legs of the shower stool were shortened as suggested.
Both stools work for me and my wife excellently.
I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this thread.

When I bought my Brent I bought the seat that attaches to it. It's simple, always where I want it and I don't have to worry about it moving when I'm trying to center 25 lbs.

Pilocarpine for Sjögren's syndrome is taken by mouth.
Pilocarpine increases the amount of saliva
and tears produced by the salivary and tear glands. Pilocarpine tablets are
used to relieve dryness in the mouth, throat, and eyes caused by
Sjögren's syndrome.
In Sjögren's syndrome, the
moisture-producing glands of the body are attacked by the
immune system and can become scarred and damaged,
resulting in exceptional drying of the eyes and mouth. Besides being very
uncomfortable and irritating, the dryness can lead to other symptoms, including
yeast infections in the mouth (thrush), and cardboard-dry nasal and
breathing passages. Pilocarpine stimulates an increase in the production of
saliva and tears to relieve these symptoms.
Pilocarpine improves symptoms of dry mouth and eyes caused by Sjögren's syndrome. Some people seem to get more relief than others.1 For dry eyes, it may take several weeks to get the full effect of the medicine.2
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor right away if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
You should
not take pilocarpine if you have:
Talk to your doctor before taking pilocarpine if you have a history of heart disease, breathing problems, or kidney problems such as kidney stones.
Pilocarpine may cause vision changes such as blurring, especially in low light. This can make activities such as driving at night unsafe. Talk to your doctor if you notice changes in your vision.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

3 WomenSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
There were three women in swimming costumes! One was happy and the other two were sad! The happy one was crying and the sad ones were smiling. Why was this?
AnswerThey were in a modelling competition! The happy one is crying with happiness (like they always do) and the two sad girls are smiling because the losers and runners up always just stand there smiling, even though they want to kill the winner.

A's pounce on wild pitch to grab share of first
Lester turns in seven strong innings; Doolittle records 20th save
OAKLAND -- The Wild Wild West was plenty wild Saturday, and the fun has only just begun, for the A's and Angels will enter Sunday's series finale deadlocked for first place in the game's best division.
That the A's even have a chance to exit the weekend with a three-game sweep of the Halos and sole possession of the American League West lead is significant, given their recent struggles. But those are becoming a thing of the past following their second straight win Saturday, a 2-1 decision in front of a sold-out Coliseum crowd.
"I think that's the biggest thing," said Sean Doolittle. "We can't get caught up in the standings or the playoff picture. We have to get back to playing for the day, and I think we did a good job of that today, not coming in too high off of last night's win and getting right back down to business and winning a hard-fought ballgame. That's going to be key for us tomorrow. As corny and cliché as that sounds, that's what we're going to have to do. Obviously we have that big-picture goal, but we have to take it step by step in order to accomplish anything."
It was easily the A's biggest game of the year, guaranteeing they exit the weekend no worse than a game back of first place, following an ugly 2-8 stretch that resulted in a two-game division deficit amid the Angels' 8-1 surge.
And the two teams still have two more series together on the schedule.
"We knew kind of where we were at coming into last night, but that being said, we've just got to worry about playing good baseball," said Jon Lester, "and not worry about who's on the other side, just continue to grind out at-bats and grind out pitches and play good defense, and see where we're at in the end. Past two nights have been good."
Lester was better than good, allowing just one run in seven innings in his fifth start in green and gold, while masterfully mixing his pitches -- 109 total.
But it was one wild pitch thrown by Angels reliever Joe Smith with two outs in the eighth inning that decided this one.
Smith allowed a leadoff base hit to Coco Crisp, who advanced to third on back-to-back groundouts. Smith then hit Derek Norris with a pitch, bringing pinch-hitter Brandon Moss to the plate. Moss popped out, but not before Smith unleashed the wild pitch that easily allowed Crisp to score.
"Fastball up and away," said Smith, who has a 21.60 ERA in Oakland this year. "I threw it too high and it went to the backstop."
"At this point in the season, when you've got two teams that have been playing so well all year long, you almost know it's going to come down to something late in the game," said Doolittle. "Tonight was a wild pitch. That's what you expect when you play the Angels -- close games, hard-fought games. It's a matter of which team can step up late in the game."
Luke Gregerson was superb in a scoreless eighth, and Doolittle pitched the ninth to lock down his 20th save. The lefty also experienced a cramp-like pain in his right side in the outing but was already feeling better after the game and didn't express much concern over the potential injury.
That's good news for the A's, who can't afford any kind of loss right now -- player or game.
They did lose a potential sixth-inning run off C.J. Wilson when Josh Donaldson was called out on a close play at the plate running from first to home on a Norris double. A replay review upheld the ruling, and the Angels tied the game in the next frame on Erick Aybar's RBI knock off Lester.
But that's all they would get off the southpaw, who simply continued to solidify his big-game reputation in the seven-strikeout performance.
Lester was not afforded the win, but his efforts, which included seven strikeouts next to just one walk, yet again guided one. The A's are 4-1 in his starts.
"No matter what type of expectation, or anything else that people put on me, I'm sure it's not going to be as high as what I put on myself," said Lester. "I expect myself to go out there every time and throw nine shutout."
"He's been terrific," said manager Bob Melvin. "Really felt like he was in complete control the whole way. He expects to pitch in the form like he did tonight."

The Crap We Missed – Friday 7.20.12
Welcome to Friday's The Crap We Missed where I'd like to point out that Miley Cyrus's dang ol' cleavage is 67 miles away from Fish & I right now and yet we still chose to go see The Dark Knight Rises instead. Special kind of nerd-gay, you say? Sure, but we like to call it dedication penis jokery. Hard dedication. Anyway, today's round-up also includes Val Kilmer's shpants, the last time Joe Calzaghe ever shares a cab with anyone (or started a nightly bleach bath, probably both), and another tender moment with doting father Seal.

Marketing Sponsored by
Editor's note: The 2013 graduates of the cosmetics and fragrance marketing and management master's degree program at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York presented their Capstone presentations at the Beauty in a Digital World event, sponsored by Beiersdorf USA with research partner Google, at FIT's Morris W. and Fannie B. Haft Auditorium in June.
The following white paper accompanied the presentation from group leader Andrew Videira, co-leader Adrienne Davis, and group members Ashley Boyce, Alison Cifrese, Amanda Kahn, Janet Kim and Andrea Reichert.
With the birth of advertising in the 1880s, beauty marketers practiced Marketing 1.0—product-centric marketing with a mass approach to communication based on a "one to many" model for maximum efficiency (Kotler, P). Over the next 30 years, as more competition entered the market place, beauty marketers focused on building relevant, emotional connections between brands and consumers. This new form of marketing was an evolution and marked the dawning of Marketing 2.0. However, in both Marketing 1.0 and 2.0, marketers were talking at consumers, not with them. Media channels available at the time never allowed anything beyond talking at consumers. Now, the dawning of the digital age has changed the "social contract between brands and consumers." (Keller, A.). The expectation of the relationship between brands and people has become far more intimate. We have entered the age of Marketing 3.0—the age of human centric marketing. In this new marketing era, the goals of a marketer remain consistent—marketers must tell stories to create meaningful connections between brands and people. What has changed in this new era are the significant amount of touch points, ease of access, and speed of action that marketers can utilize. In the era of Marketing 3.0, the lines between channels are blurring and the connectivity between brands and consumers is 24/7. As technology continues to evolve, communication touch points will be interactive, interconnected, zero-friction, and on-demand. To be effective, marketing can no longer be done in silos—marketing campaigns must tell stories across platforms, not just in them. This requires a new framework to help marketers continue to build brand affinity with their consumers. Enter the m^3 model.
The m^3 model is a framework to help marketers navigate the human-centric world of Marketing 3.0. The model is defined as:
micro-Targeting + micro-Engagement = micro-Marketing
micro-Targeting = using advanced predictive analytics to cultivate deep human understanding of individual consumers.
micro-Engagement = constant, on-demand two way communication between brands and consumers where and when consumers want it.
micro-Marketing = creating campaigns with the illusion of personalization that combine the learnings from micro-targeting with the continuous access of micro-engagement to serve up the right content to the right individual, at the right time.
The m^3 model helps brand marketers to more effectively communicate with consumers by leveraging new advances in technology and redefine success with new measurement indicators. To optimally structure a marketing organization to execute the m^3 model, there must be changes within the marketing team, and with its cross functional partners. All teams involved in bringing the product to market and bringing the brand to life must commit to the model to reach success.
One of the consequences of the evolution of the digital landscape has been the change in what consumers expect from brands. Consumers expect brands to understand them, engage with them, and to reflect values that they can connect with on a personal level. This new, high level of interactivity and connectivity is made possible by advanced technology and the evolution of traditional media channels.
In the worlds of Marketing 1.0 and 2.0, brand communication was "one to many"—assets developed for generic target groups run on traditional, static channels. In Marketing 3.0, brands can engage in a "one to one" approach to communication with individual consumers in an on-demand, zero-friction environment through the use of advanced media platforms.
Successful brands in this environment will create flexible communication which responds and adjusts to consumer feedback in real time. This feedback is made possible by advanced analytics tools that collect and interpret the vast amounts of data that individual consumers generate within the digital space. Brands will have a deeper understanding of consumers that will allow them to predict the desires and aspiration of individuals. With this learning, enabled by new technology, brands can be both predictive and reactive, delivering a humanized brand experience for their consumers.
The practice of micro-Targeting is the first step in executing these new experiences effectively. Using the data generated by consumers, brands can focus their strategies on individuals that are the most valuable for them. Additionally, data analytics will result in insights that can inform asset development and campaign strategy. From there, brands can use this data to help form their micro-Engagement strategies and the new media touch points available to engage with consumers where they want, when they want, at the moments that matter most. Information gained from these engagements will be used to optimize future engagements in real time, resulting in communication that is increasingly effective at each consumer interaction. The evolution in media channels and technology makes micro-Marketing possible and will enable micro-Targeting and micro-Engagement tactics to result in effective micro-Marketing campaigns. In the era of Marketing 3.0, all media is interactive and personalized. There is no distinction between "digital channels" or "social media". All media is digital and all channels are social. This is already beginning to happen with the evolution of smart phones and smart tablets. The critical shift for marketers is to ensure that their marketing campaigns can adapt to these new media opportunities, resulting in seamless, on-demand, personalized campaigns, increaing an individual consumer's brand love and loyalty.
The shift from traditional to new media does not mean that traditional channels such as print and TV should be removed from marketing plans (Millward Brown). These traditional channels will also be part of the evolution of media and they too will become 'smart,' interconnected and interactive, collecting data and feedback on individual consumers that brands can leverage in their new campaigns. To achieve interactivity and personalization, brands will create ad templates with multiple versions for different consumer groups and through the use of advanced algorithms, can create a seemingly personalized campaign, resulting in the right content delivered to the right individual every time (Whittlake, E.). Agencies like Media Mind are already beginning to make this a reality for marketers. However, to take communication to a micro-Marketing level, marketers will need to use advanced monitoring tools to collect data from consumer engagements across all touch points and quickly optimize assets for maximum effectiveness.
In order to make m^3 a reality, brands must brief their creative agencies differently, focusing on flexibility and adaptability. If flexibility is included in the briefing process from the beginning, these ad templates will not seem like a distant concept; instead, they will be an achievable reality. By incorporating the creative agency, the digital minds, and the analytical experts at the point of conception of the media campaign, it will ensure the creation of a fully integrated, completely seamless, entirely zero-friction campaign across multiple platforms.
The evolution of success measurement is critical in effectively executing the m^3 framework into strategic brand management. In a world where marketing campaigns are constantly monitored and optimized in real time, success metrics must evolve to embrace this new mindset. Brand marketers must shift their focus away from traditional return on investment (ROI) metrics, such as reach, gross ratings points (GRPs) and click-thru rate. These metrics are static and historical in nature, largely because the channels in which they were developed did not allow for real time optimization, only post-launch evaluation. In the m^3 model, the new metric is Return on Learnings (ROL). This represents a major shift in marketing success measurement, and is a necessary next step to ensure successful marketing in the m^3 model. It has been widely discussed by business experts and beauty industry leaders that marketing attribution enables stronger budget allocation and bigger returns (Google Analytics). Imagine if a brand could monetize the attribution path of a consumer to understand how each engagement works independently or together within the context of a plan to drive value for consumers. Soon you will no longer need to just imagine this7mdash;as this technology is in development already. To capitalize on this opportunity, brands need to reallocate resources to ensure a stronger focus on analytics to better work with the data they currently receive from consumers. Armed with information on where consumers are entering and exiting the selling model, marketers can change the way they do business (Fast Company). With this new ROL approach, and the necessary analytics tools to support it, marketers will be able to track unique consumer value over her lifetime and understand the most critical points that drive future sales at the individual consumer level.

ONE of Worcestershire's MPs is being tipped for a job in David Cameron's Cabinet, it has emerged.
The Prime Minister is planning a reshuffle of his top table and West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin is believed to be among the names lined up for it.
Mrs Baldwin, first elected in 2010 after Sir Michael Spicer retired, was only elected to the whips' office in February and is slowly making a name for herself as a reliable operator.
The Conservative was also picked out by Mr Cameron to be his trade envoy to Russia at the start of the year.
The premier is believed to be focusing his reshuffle on promoting more women to his Cabinet in response to criticism it is male dominated.
The 22-strong top table only contains three females, Theresa May, Justine Greening and Theresa Villiers, although Baroness Warsi also attends Cabinet meetings as a senior minister for foreign affairs.
In recent weeks three national newspapers have tipped Mrs Baldwin to join the Cabinet as part of the reshuffle, which is expected next week.
West Worcestershire's Conservative Association has leapt to her backing by describing her as a "great operator".
Chairman Harry Tanner said: "I remember reading something about her being potentially promoted in a newspaper a while ago and she said to me 'don't believe it, stuff like that is a poisoned chalice'.
"You can't jump to conclusions but she's a very talented person and has got great qualities.
"She's a really hard working MP, spends a lot of time in her constituency and is a great operator, so it's not surprising she is being tipped.
"She's clearly very talented. To me it doesn't matter if they are a man or a woman, you're either good at what you do or you're not."
Mrs Baldwin is one of three women MPs tipped for the top table, as well as women's minister Nicky Morgan and Andrea Leadsom, the current economic secretary to the Treasury.
She said: "You shouldn't ever believe reshuffle speculation, even if it's in the Worcester News."
The reshuffle is certain to be Mr Cameron's final roll of the dice before next year's general election.

Great for circuses and water shows, otherwise useless.

Top 12 Dating Tips from Moms
Love advice from real moms that's helpful – and hilarious!
-Carrie Seim
When it comes to love, mother knows best. Except when she doesn't.
Once in college, I foolishly forwarded my mom a mass email from my crush. She responded by WRITING HIM BACK, misspelling his name and using the sentence: "Carrie thinks you're a very special person and I think she's a very special person, too."
He, to my mother's great dismay, found another very special person to marry.
At the time of the email debacle, I was beyond mortified. I couldn't understand why or how my mother would take my nascent love life into her own hands. But now, after years of maturity and separate-but-equal email relations with my mother, I realize she interceded in the spirit of love. She truly thought she was helping me find my own special snowflake.
And to this day, she refuses to admit she was wrong. "You should tell someone when you think they're great," she insists. "You don't have to ask for anyone else's permission." Not even your daughter's.

The cameras hadn't even started rolling on INXS: Never Tear Us Apart when up-and-coming actor Luke Arnold received a poignant reminder of the responsibility that comes with depicting a real-life character, whose memory is still fresh in the minds of those who knew and loved him.
On the first day of rehearsals for the two-part mini-series, in which Arnold depicts Michael Hutchence, the lead singer of INXS, fellow band-member Tim Farriss was on set.

Trailer: INXS: Never Tear Us Apart
New mini-series INXS: Never Tear Us Apart goes behind the scenes of one of Australia's biggest ever bands.
Farriss was visibly upset when Arnold emerged from a dressing-room looking cannily like his late friend.
''Can I tell you something?'' he whispered to Arnold. ''You're not Michael.''
Tears well up as Farriss recalls that first meeting. ''I wanted to say things to Michael,'' he says.
Since Hutchence's death in a Sydney hotel room in 1997 in circumstances that are still open to much conjecture, there has been no shortage of interest from film and TV program makers in a project about the charismatic singer and the globally successful band he fronted.
The consent of the band and its manager, Chris Murphy, was a key factor in greenlighting Never Tear Us Apart.
''There were a lot of obstacles to navigate about who owns what,'' says executive producer Mark Fennessy. ''INXS took a huge leap of faith in backing us. They've had a lot of approaches over the years, a lot of opportunities for movies and mini-series from all corners of the world. Ultimately, they backed us, which is a big call, given [production company] Shine [Australia] hasn't done a lot of scripted drama.''
In addition to giving the production the rights to the music, the remaining band members were closely involved. Tim Farriss regularly attended the shoot and offered advice.
''The very first day I could tell he knew nothing about [playing a] bass,'' he says referring to Hugh Sheridan, who plays Garry Gary Beers, while Kirk Pengilly lent wardrobe items for his alter-ego, played by Alex Williams, and others to wear.
Mark Opitz, who produced many INXS albums, was also on board.
Fennessy was an executive at MTV when INXS were topping the global music charts in the late 1980s and early '90s. ''It was an amazing ride, so to see some of that stuff a second time around.
''The concert at the [Myer Music] Bowl freaked me out, because I went to the shows and the minute I went on the set, so many memories flooded back.
''We're going to make all of Australia remember why they love this group of guys and their music so much.''
While the mini-series doesn't deal with the circumstances of Hutchence's death, it is an inescapable part of the story, says director Daina Reid.
''The more I got involved in the story, the more tragic it becomes, because you realise how long they had known each other, the lifelong friendships and connections that are difficult to achieve.
''The more I delved into that part of the story, the sadder it got, but, having said that, our story is quite happy.
''For a band that stayed together that long, there's a lot of fun to be had and a lot of enjoyment.''
Wilde side: Samantha Jade as Kylie Minogue and Luke Arnold as Michael Hutchence.
While various books have been written about INXS, the starting point for the screenplay was interviews with the band and Chris Murphy. Those interviews were filmed and handed to writers Justin Monjo and Dave Warner to flesh out.
''All the stories had to come from the guys,'' says Kerrie Mainwarring, who left her job as head of drama production at Southern Star to produce Never Tear Us Apart.
For 29-year-old Arnold, playing Hutchence is his first lead role.
As well as a background in music, which allows him to use his own voice in rehearsal and song-writing scenes, Arnold bears a strong resemblance to Hutchence.
''Over the years, as I grew my hair out, people would mention the similarity with Michael and that included people who knew him back in the day.
''[Playing him] was always in the back of my head. When the opportunity came, I had to seize it with both hands.''
The Western Australian was working in South Africa when the call for auditions came.
He taped several scenes to land the part.
Although it's a ''dream role'', he says the pressure was evident from the start.
''I had about two weeks before rehearsals started, so I had time to lock myself away and find his walk, his way of talking, see footage.
''When we got into our first rehearsals and Tim came in and was obviously quite moved, that was a relief.''
It was important that the fictional band look like a bunch of guys who had known each other for years, he says.
Along with Sheridan and Williams, the mini-series includes Damon Herriman (Chris Murphy), Ido Drent (John Farriss), Nick Masters (Tim Farriss) and Andrew Ryan (Andrew Farriss).
''We were put in the same hotel, went out for dinner and within 15 minutes we knew that it wasn't going to be a problem,'' says Arnold.
''There was never a worry of us looking like we didn't get on. The only worry was trying to rein that in and focus on the scene.''
He hopes Never Tear Us Apart will remind contemporary audiences of how big INXS was.
''They weren't at the height of their career in Australia when they went overseas and decided to start tackling it over there.
''There were times when that gamble they took to pack up and go to America didn't pay off and almost left them worse than when they started. They were a little band, a bunch of guys from the northern beaches getting together and taking on the world and they succeeded. I think that's why it'll be fun to watch.''

Topic: New member introduction
I have been reading this forum for awhile and thought I would introduce myself. Prior to being diagnosed with cc, I already have a disease called gardner's syndrome, a form of FAP. As a result I had part of my colon removed in the 70's and the rest of my colon removed in the 80's. in the 90's I had polyps removed from my duodenum. After 10 years of endoscopies and ct scans, I had my gall bladder removed for a large mass in 2005. In 2008, after getting three opinions I had the Whipple procedure performed due to large areas of high grade dysplasia in my duodenum. Due to complications I spent 100 days in the hospital over a six month period. I am still on pain medications starting with the Whipple. In 2010 I had seven rounds of chemo to shrink a Desmoid tumor in my abdomen enough to surgically remove it. Because I have ct scans done every six months the tumor in my duct and liver was found in December, 2012. After 3 biopsies came up negative, I had half of my liver removed February 1. Their was no lymph node involvement and margins were good. I did have some problems with abscesses and went home with a drain and IV antibiotics. Thankfully that is done now. I do have several areas of high grade dysplasia in my remaining liver. I start chemo later this week, genzar and cisplatin, two weeks on and one week off for twelve weeks followed by 6 weeks of radiation along with oral 5-fu. I hope to get into a clinical study in buffalo my after that but that is in the preliminary planning stages and I don't know much about it. I have been encouraged somewhat by reading other people's stories here and thank those responsible for this forum.

Latest loss has Mattingly searching for answers
Capuano's strong outing goes to waste after Jansen allows homers
ATLANTA -- As his team reached the one-quarter mark of the season in last place of the National League West, Don Mattingly used the word "disarray." He was talking about the Dodgers' bullpen, but why stop there?
Mattingly was again seeking an explanation for another unbearable loss Saturday night, 3-1 to the Braves, this crusher the result of back-to-back home runs in the eighth inning by pinch-hitter Evan Gattis and leadoff hitter Andrelton Simmons off Kenley Jansen, the one reliever Mattingly thought he could trust with a one-run lead.
Chris Capuano got through 7 1/3 scoreless innings before tiring, that calf muscle he hurt sprinting in from the bullpen during the brawl in San Diego apparently not fully healed after all. So Mattingly asked Jansen to get a five-out save, and instead, the first two Braves took him deep.
"People clamor for one guy," said Mattingly, who clamors for a reliable closer, among other things. "Then they clamor for the next guy, and then somebody else. You'd like to set the thing the way you want it to work and keep guys in roles so you don't get disarray."
While the bullpen has suffered from the miscalculation that allowed current Cubs closer Kevin Gregg to simply walk away at the end of Spring Training, the disarray extends to the starting rotation, which Capuano wasn't even supposed to be part of at the end of spring. Now he's not only in the rotation, he's delivered back-to-back quality starts.
But the rotation also has Sunday starter Matt Magill, who was about 10th on the depth chart coming out of Spring Training. And Ted Lilly is about to be activated, but Mattingly isn't sure about his role. Then there are Josh Beckett and Stephen Fife, who are temporarily disabled, and Chad Billingsley, who is out for the year.
And disarray definitely describes the Dodgers' offense, which got only two hits and an unearned run off Braves winner Kris Medlen. The Dodgers didn't have a hit after the fourth inning and they ran out of one scoring chance in the third inning, when Dee Gordon committed the inexcusable sin of getting thrown out trying to steal third base for the third out with Matt Kemp at the plate.
"We've got to be a little better giving our pitchers some breathing room," Mattingly said.
All that said, Mattingly wouldn't buy into the suggestion that no matter what the Dodgers do now, it doesn't work.
"I'm not really a defeatist -- everything's going bad," he said. "Things are not going the way we want. We got on a little roll leaving town [winning four of five], then the game last night and today, and we don't win either one. Those hurt. We had a chance to keep the roll going. We have to continue to fight that fight.
"We lost two games, but we won four of five. The bigger picture, 13-14, not very good. But the last seven or eight days, we've been okay. I know we're capable."
Mattingly brought in Jansen with one out in the eighth after a sharp single by B.J. Upton off Capuano, who had warned his manager before the inning started to get somebody ready because he felt the calf muscle tighten as early as his fifth-inning sacrifice bunt that he didn't run out.
"I've had a lingering issue with the calf," said Capuano. "I didn't feel it strain, but I could tell it tired running the bunt out. It wasn't affecting my pitch execution."
After Mattingly said he hoped Jansen wasn't trying to go inside on the power-hitting Gattis, that's exactly what Jansen said he was trying to do in an eight-pitch at-bat, because he said Gattis was crowding the plate.
"Most of the time, that pitch is an out," said Jansen. "It was where I wanted to put it. I tried to get it in there to back him off. He just hit it out."
Jansen also wasn't comfortable mixing in a slider, so he stuck with his best pitch, the cutter, which is what Gattis was told to look for.
Gattis said he thought the Dodgers were bringing in Ronald Belisario, and when he realized it was Jansen, he asked Justin Upton for a quick scouting report.
"He said anything middle with the cutter is going to break off the plate," said Gattis. "So if you back off the plate a little bit and you get one that looks like it is starting at you, that's going to be the one you want."
Simmons, like Jansen, is from Curacao and said they played together in Little League.
"I've got to thank [Gattis] for wearing him out a little bit," Simmons said.
Sitting next to Jansen was Paco Rodriguez, who took the loss Friday night by serving up a grand slam to Justin Upton. Dodgers relievers have allowed 12 home runs this year.
The loss left the Dodgers 6-11 on the road and 4-11 in May. Instead of a chance to win a series Sunday, the Dodgers need to win a game to avoid a sweep.
"When a guy pitches that good for that long, you expect to win that one," said Mattingly of Capuano.

So, Willie Randolph is the Mets' manager for another day, huh?
Big deal. They lose two of three here, and the rumblings start again.
Of course, they are started on the call-in shows, by personalities who couldn't find Shea with a GPS. And, they are started by writers/columnists looking for a splash.
The fact is the Mets have a winning record under Randolph. Omar and the Wilpons are doing him and the organization a disservice by letting him twist.
Either make the move now or say nothing will be evaluated until the off season. Then drop it.
Management and ownership are feeding into the distractions. They are making it difficult for Willie and his team to do their jobs.

Jenson Button: "Just as it's exciting to return to Europe after the opening races of the year, it's always cool to pack your bags for a long-haul flight, knowing that you're heading off for the flyaways that bring the curtain down on a long season.
"I remember the first time we raced at Singapore [in 2008]; it seemed incredible to think that we could hold a Formula 1 race at night. I must say, the thrill and novelty of racing through spotlit streets is just as intense for me today as it was when we first raced there - it's a unique spectacle, and one that I think is brilliant for F1. In fact, the Singapore Grand Prix is one of the wonders of modern sport.
"I enjoy racing around the Marina Bay circuit. Although I've finished second there for the past two years, this year it'll be interesting to see how our car behaves on a bumpy, high-downforce circuit.
"This is also a race where good fitness preparation really pays off: the race is usually close to the two-hour limit, so it's the longest physical challenge on the calendar.
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Sergio Perez: "I've finished in the points in my two previous visits to Singapore, so, after the disappointment of just failing to get home in the top 10 at Monza, a points finish next weekend will clearly be my aim.
"Obviously, the fight at the sharp end of the championship means that the top three or four teams are still pushing hard to develop their current cars, whereas some of the others are looking more towards 2014. That means that it's getting slightly harder to score good points in the remaining races. However, we've still got developments coming through - most with an eye to next year - and I hope that we can maximise our package for one of the toughest races of the year.
"Singapore is an unpredictable race - it's tough on drivers and machinery, so we'll be looking to get the best from our high-downforce set-up and see if we have a car that can ride the circuit's many bumps.
"I like street circuits - you can really attack the corners! - so I'm really looking forward to the whole weekend."
Martin Whitmarsh - Team principal, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes: "It was around 10 years ago that the idea of a Formula 1 night race was first floated. At the time, I remember thinking it was an incredibly imaginative and ambitious idea, but, given the scope and scale of such an endeavour, I also thought it an unlikely possibility.
"However, the organisers of the Singapore Grand Prix have shown huge determination and ambition to bring the idea to fruition, and, as we approach the sixth edition of the race, I think everybody in Formula 1 now regards the event as one of the cornerstones of the grand prix calendar. Indeed, it's one of the miracles of televised sport.
"As well as the spectacle, this is also a very hard motor race: in hot and humid conditions, and on a circuit where there's little opportunity to relax, the drivers will race for nearly two hours on Sunday night.
"Our focus next weekend will be to continue refining and improving the MP4-28. After a run of fast low-downforce circuits, this will be an opportunity for us to measure our car's performance on a significantly different kind of track. As ever, to achieve points finishes with both cars is our priority."

DUDLEY Sports boss Tony Gore said his side deserved three points rather than one after being denied by a 94th minute equaliser.
Tom Watkins' stunning 25-yard strike was cancelled out in stoppage time as Wellington made it 1-1.
Overall though Gore was please to get something from his side's first competitive game since December 15.
"There were some tired legs at the end," said Gore. "But it's good to be back and we came through it pretty well.
"We maybe had a couple of chances to finish them off but they finished strongly in the last five minutes.
"If we can take that kind of performance into the rest of the season I'm sure we'll win more games than we lose."
Sports are still precariously placed above the West Midlands Premier relegation zone and Gore admitted: "The target is to start pulling away from the bottom - we don't want to get dragged into it.
"A lot of the teams down there have played more games than us so when it has all evened out you'll start to see a much clearer picture."
Dudley are set to travel to Shawbury United this evening then on Saturday they have a tough clash at Wellington Amateurs in prospect. On Tuesday Bewdley Town will be the visitors.
Ben Manton will be available after having served his one-match suspension against Wellington.

Chances of Xeloda working?
- Question from Susie: What are the chances that Xeloda will work? My mom has Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, which has spread to her bones and lungs. She was in remission on Femara for 18 months and tamoxifen did not work. She started on 500 mg 2 x day Xeloda two weeks ago.
Answers -
Jennifer Griggs, M.D., M.P.H.
I wish your mother weren't going through this. The drug that she is starting on, which is an oral drug as you know, is one of our most effective drugs in breast cancer.
It's hard to wait to see if the drug is working, but if she is tolerating it, she should stay on the medication for approximately three months before her doctor will redo her scans. Although, obviously, not all women have a response to this drug, we have been impressed with the number of women who do benefit.
Marisa Weiss, M.D.
If the chemotherapy worked, then it worked. It really can be that simple. Dr. Griggs and I have many patients who are able to take this chemotherapy by pill and keep things under control for an extended period of time. You don't know until you try it.
It sounds like, for your Mom, it's worth trying. Be reassured that with any treatment that you are placed on, your doctors will be there to re-evaluate all along the way to make sure that the benefits are outweighing the side effects. If the benefit isn't there, something else can be tried.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Chemotherapy Updates featured Jennifer Griggs, M.D., M.P.H. and Marisa Weiss, M.D. answering your questions about advances in chemotherapy treatment: different types of drugs and regimens, how to reduce or eliminate unpleasant side effects, and more.
Editor's Note: This conference took place in February 2002.

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Julia is from Kenya. She has 3 children. She needs a loan of $575 to enable her to purchase farm inputs and to pay for labor.
Julia is from Kenya. She has 3 children. She needs a loan of $575 to enable her to purchase farm inputs and to pay for labor.
Julia is a small-scale farmer who wants to expand the size of her farming business. The roads near Julia are very poor, which makes transporting her goods difficult. She also lacks capital.
Julia's goal is to have the maximum yield from her farm and to make her business self-sustaining. Julia's family is not in a stable position right now. She hopes that this loan will help to improve the living conditions of her children and of her entire family.
The Agriculture business sector covers all farming and livestock activities. Some entrepreneurs request loans to help in securing supplies and equipment. Others want to buy more animals to breed or purchase feed and medicines. The majority of our loan clients live in rural communities where agriculture is already understood as a business model. It is for this reason that approximately 50% of our loans are in the agricultural sector.
There is no community update available at this time.
Thank you for supporting a small business loan for Julia Kashu to expand her farming and food business. After receiving the loan from World Vision, she invested the $575 to purchase farm inputs and to pay for labor.
Julia has been repaying her loan on time with her new profits. She makes weekly payments of $15. In addition to repaying her loan, Julia is using the additional income to pay school fees and purchase fertilizer. Julia's 3 children continue to study in school.
Despite the poor road conditions in her area, Julia is determined to expand her farming activity and reinvest the profits made from the loan she received.
Thank you for supporting Julia and World Vision Micro!
While Julia Kashu initially invested her business loan to make farm improvements and to pay for labor, she has struggled to repay her loan. Although we continued to work with Julie to help her reestablish her business, we regret to report that she has now defaulted on her loan.
Julia prays she will someday be able to restart her business so she can better provide for her family. Julia would like to sincerely thank all the donors who partnered with her. Please pray for Julia and her family during this difficult time.
Despite the fact that World Vision boasts a repayment rate greater than 98%, there will always be some loans that do not get fully repaid. While World Vision does everything it can to ensure that this does not happen, it is an unfortunate reality that must be recognized when providing loans to less fortunate populations.
Thank you for your understanding, and your support of World Vision Micro. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call our Customer Care line at 1-888-511-6444.

1. Gearing Up. Admit it: half the fun of every hobby is getting the tricked-out gear. And just when you thought you had the latest in clippable LED book-illuminating technology–Check out this glowing nightlight/bookmark for your bedside table. You'll never lose your place again.
2. Getting Caught. I'm a chronic book-carrier. The minute I leave the house without a book, I'll inevitably get stuck in a half-mile line at the post office or a friend will arrive an hour late for a lunch date. Never, ever leave the house empty-handed. Because you also never know when you'll see a perfect, unexpected reading spot and feel moved to settle in for a few minutes. The Caught Reading column on the Elle Lit Life blog interviews people who dare read in public, where everyone can see.
3. Speed. There's nothing wrong with being a slow reader. Some of us are not so speedy. Some of us are just fine with that. But if you want to polish your reading game, this website will put you through the paces.
4. Reviews. Every reader is a critic. And sometimes, that's the only perk to slogging through a truly terrible book. Whether your critique is positive or negative, it's yours to give, and there are plenty of places on the internet where you can publish a book review. This guy just happens to be particularly amusing.
5. It'll Change Your Life. We learn so much from books. Math books in grade school and cookbooks in college and gardening manuals when you buy your first house. But fiction teaches us about life–people and relationships–and these lessons are most dear in the years before we hit high school and critical, dissecting English courses. This article by Tim Kreider talks about the importance of reading in early adolescence and how a love of reading can change your life.
You know how when you talk about food for too long, or read your aunt's copy of Taste of Home, you get really hungry? I just did that to myself with reading. Do not disturb.

• nascent •
Pronunciation: nays-ênt, næs-ênt • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: About to be born or being born, beginning to form, emerging, at a very early developmental stage.
Notes: We have a choice of two nouns from this adjective, nascence [nascent-s] or nascency. All English adjectives ending on -nt form their nouns the former way: different - difference, reliant - reliance. Some, however, offer the same option as today's Good Word: expedient - expedience - expediency.
In Play: Today's Good Word is ambivalent as to which side of birth it refers to. It may also refer to the moment of birth: "A nascent—and probably evanescent—idea struggled across the mind of Lucinda Head." It can also be used to refer to a short while post partum: "Her nascent business didn't seem to be moving fast enough for Minnie van Sales."
Word History: Today's Good Word comes from Latin nascen(t)s "young, immature" (literally "being born"), the present participle of nasci "to be born". The past participle of this verb, natus, went into the making of natio(n), which originally meant "birth". However, this word didn't stop here, but went on to acquire the meanings "people, tribe", in other words, people of common birth. This sense of the word broadened to "people of the same culture", which led to its confusion with the sense of country. Another word derived from this verb is native "born in a specific culture". The earliest manuscripts tell us that the Latin verb was originally gnasci. This would explain the use of this form in pregnant, from Latin pre- "pre" gna- "give birth" + -nt "-ing". It would also imply that it is related to the plethora of Latin words containing gen- "give birth to or be related by birth" that I have discussed in previous Good Words. (We should now thank John Crowe, a nascent but promising contributor, for his contribution of today's very Good Word.)

Here's an article from tvweek.com It talks about CBS's new fall schedule, and Les Moonves mentions that there's a debate going on whether to air TAR5 this summer with TAR6 following in the fall, or holding off airing TAR5 until the fall.
Here's an article from tvweek.com It talks about CBS's new fall schedule, and Les Moonves mentions that there's a debate going on whether to air TAR5 this summer with TAR6 following in the fall, or holding off airing TAR5 until the fall.
I think TAR5 should air in summer with a different time slot. Tuesday at 10 pm is not a good schedule for a reality show.
The fall slot is even worse: Saturdays at 9pm.
I agree with you, John. What is CBS thinking? I have to say that TAR4 had the best schedule out of all 6 so far.
I've have not found another source that remotely reports a delay for TAR 5 to the fall. Furon Critic, and the television critic for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch both are stating the fall TAR time slot is for TAR 6.
>|p >|p
So TAR 6 on Fall, bad timeslot though
In a morbid kind of way, perhaps CBS is showing more faith in TAR by delaying TAR5 until fall, although I personally think it is unlikely. The most important reason...
CBS would only have "Big Brother 5" as an announced summer series. Oddly CBS doesn't seem interested in programming the summer as aggressive as Fox or NBC (or even ABC or WB, which are both having more original programming than CBS).
The reason I say that CBS could have faith in TAR by airing TAR5 in the fall is this...
That would be a full season's worth of TAR, similar to how it airs back-to-back editions of "Survivor".
I agree that Saturday isn't an ideal slot, but Fox has had success with reality shows "Cops" and "America's Most Wanted" (although they don't fit the typical definition of reality). I heard a rumor that CBS may have a total reality Saturday line-up. Personally, if I can play TV programmer for a minute, I would put "Liar" (a "To Tell the Truth"-style show hosted by D.L. Hughley that is in development) at 8:00, followed by TAR, and finish the night with "Star Search" (even though I don't care for it) or another reality hour. Maybe this is what CBS hopes to accomplish by the end of the season.
Off topic, but "lalol" I love your picture. It's hilarious, and scary at the same time.
Another article. Here's the link:
Reason for the move - cost saving measure. I honestly don't know whether this is a good move or not simply cause I know nothing about US programming. Hopefully, they will show TAR 5 in Oz soon after the US launch.
I rather lurk than post.
Yesterday's Los Angeles Times, in an article about CBS's fall schedule, reported: "...the [Saturday] lineup now will be '48 Hours', followed by the young-skewing reality show 'The Amazing Race', which the network is still debating whether to air in the summer, as well."Originally Posted by theschnauzers

ACA Update: Contracting Is Essential for Community Providers
ACA Update: Contracting Is Essential for Community Providers
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) recognizes the special role of safety-net providers in delivering health care to underserved populations. Provisions exist for helping Ryan White agencies continue to serve their clients as they adopt new private insurance and Medicaid coverage options. However, putting that promise into action requires agencies to do a bit of networking and negotiation.
Various technical guides, summarized below, present suggestions for safety-net providers on how to contract with health plans through a multistep process for conducting outreach to identify health insurers (private plans and Medicaid Managed Care Organizations [MCOs]), followed by a process for establishing contracting relationships with plans. (Note: In addition to reaching out directly to health insurers, providers can focus energy on joining provider networks that, in turn, establish contracts with health insurers.)
By following these steps, agencies will be in a better position to continue delivering care to clients who transition to new health plan and Medicaid coverage, starting in 2014. Ryan White agencies need to take on this work right away. Health plans are already setting up their networks and getting them approved and ready for the opening of Marketplaces on October 1, 2013. In some states, the work is well underway.
Download 4 Steps to Contracting with Health Insurers & Provider Networks.
See the ACA and Ryan White TA and training web pages. Resources are being developed and added over time. Upload your ACA implementation tools and share them with the Ryan White Community.
Leverage Point: Status as an Essential Community Provider
ACA requires health plans that will offer individual and small-group coverage in Marketplaces to include in their networks Essential Community Providers (ECPs). These health plans are called Qualified Health Plans (QHPs), as they meet Marketplace regulatory requirements.
What these rules state, in general, is that health plans must offer contracting opportunities to ECPs. This is an opportunity that should not be taken lightly. An unknown but significant number of Ryan White clients are going to shift to coverage under Medicaid and individual policies that will be offered in 2014, and they may experience lapses in care or may need to change providers if their current Ryan White providers are not included in these health plan networks.
Ryan White agencies--for the most part--already have been designated as ECPs. HHS has issued rules that put ACA provisions on ECPs into place, including Marketplace rules for state Marketplaces and health insurance issuers, released in March 2012, followed more recently with rules for federally facilitated/state partnership Marketplaces, issued April 2013. State approaches to ECP status also are important as health insurance is traditionally regulated by states, and ACA provides leeway for states operating their own Marketplaces to further define ECP rules. For example, California has developed specific ECP standards for QHPs seeking to offer coverage in the state. Colorado and Minnesota require agencies to apply for ECP status and outline ECP contracting requirements for health plans.
HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau issued a Dear Grantee Letter on ECPs on March 27, 2013, urging Ryan White providers to reach out to health insurers to be included in their provider networks, and to leverage their positions as ECPs.
Making ECP Real: Technical Tips
Various documents--including several tailored for safety-net providers--outline ideas for establishing contractual relationships with health plans. In general, the steps are as follows:
- Identify the key health plans and Medicaid Managed Care plans in the target area.
- Approach the health plans to explore contracting opportunities, making sure to inform the plans that the Ryan White agency has ECP status.
- Establish contractual arrangements to participate in their insurance networks.
Ryan White agencies with well-established contracting and third-party reimbursement systems are likely well versed in carrying out the above steps and may already have many contracts in place. Agencies that currently lack this capacity--particularly smaller agencies--will have to do some legwork as ACA is built upon the private marketplace, and contracting happens in a decentralized and competitive environment. Nonetheless, Ryan White agencies might want to explore ways to work together, perhaps securing assistance and guidance from Ryan White planning bodies and Part A and Part B contracting offices.
The points below summarize insights from the following documents. They are presented as general resources but not specific recommendations for how to go about contracting with health plans. Again, providers do not need to focus solely on reaching out to health insurers. A second strategy is to join provider networks that, in turn, establish contracts with health insurers.
- Preparing for the ACA's Health Coverage Expansion: Contracting with New Private and Medicaid Managed Care Plans is a tip sheet released in March 2013 by the HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA) outlining these straightforward suggestions for Ryan White agencies: determine the status of Medicaid expansion, contact Medicaid managed care plans and health plans, and work with their provider relations departments to set up contracts. This document will be supplemented by future fact sheets on plan contracting. These suggestions are outlined in greater detail in this April 2013 fact sheet, Essential Community Providers: Tips to Connect with Marketplace Plans. See also: 4 Steps to Contracting with Health Insurers & Provider Networks.
- Working Successfully with Health Plans was prepared by the Guttmacher Institute in June 2012 on behalf of family planning agencies, which are remarkably similar to Ryan White agencies in having a large proportion of clients with no third-party payers. This document, based in part on an expert panel meeting, outlines a 3-part process to "explore challenges family planning centers face in contracting with Medicaid and private health plans--a step that is increasingly necessary for centers to remain viable as health care providers." The 3 steps: preparation, contract negotiations, and operations under plan contracts.
- Negotiating Contracts with Managed Care Organizations, a slide deck from the 2012 Ryan White Grantee Meeting, explains various service delivery models in managed care, provider reimbursement methods, and outlines contract review and negotiation strategies. The workshop and slides were presented by Adam J. Falcone, from Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP.
- Negotiating a Contract with a Health Plan, was prepared by the American Academy of Family Physicians, and it presents ideas for family physicians. Prepared in 2006, this journal article presents ideas similar to the above documents in terms of the upfront assessment Guttmacher recommends ("information is power"), identifing your leverage (the HIVMA tip to inform contract partners of the agency's ECP status), specifics around the contract (definitions, health plan and provider obligations), and more.

Q & A — August 2001
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
Providing Resistance
|Piston damage, preventing mineral deposits, and more.
I'm preparing to bond some hardware to the deck. To what consistency should I mix my filler material? H.C., via e-mail
For this application the filler should be thickened to the consistency of mayonnaise. If it's right it should cling to a vertical surface, and when you quickly dip a mixing stick into it, it should form peaks.
Mix your filler in small batches, and always mix the resin and hardener thoroughly before introducing the filler. Add filler in small amounts until you reach the desired consistency.
I'm an out-of-the-book mechanic, and when one of my 200-hp outboards lost power and would not restart, I later discovered that the tops of the pistons were severely damaged. What caused this, and how can it be avoided? L.G., via e-mail
The cause was probably detonation, which can have many sources but is usually due to carbon buildup on the piston crown. This increases the compression ratio and causes "knock." Carbon also retains heat and in fact can get so hot it ignites the fuel charge before the spark plug–usually while the piston is still on the up-stroke. The result is a collision between the expanding gases and the rising piston, which can easily damage the piston crown. If it's severe enough, the explosion can actually blow a hole through the piston crown.
Carbon buildup can be caused by using the wrong two-cycle oil or poor-quality gasoline or by an engine running too cold. Other causes of knock include improper ignition timing, improper spark plugs, too lean a fuel mixture, overheating, overloading due to use of an incorrect prop, and excessive exhaust back pressure.
The most important preventive maintenance measure is using the right two-cycle-rated oil, as recommended by your engine manufacturer in your owner's manual.
How can I prevent mineral deposits from forming in my boat's shower head, and restricting the flow of water? F.E., via e-mail
The mineral deposits are coming from "hard" water, water with a high pH. To eliminate them you'll have to "soften" the water and lower the pH.
The best way to do this is by installing a filter-type cartridge designed for this purpose in your water system. Any of the popular brands on the market today will take care of the problem. Then it's just a matter of changing the filter at the recommended times.
In the meantime you can remove the residue by spraying the showerhead with Tilex and scrubbing it with an old toothbrush. If the buildup is particularly heavy, remove the showerhead and give it a thorough cleaning inside and out with Tilex.
If you have a chrome showerhead, try soaking it overnight in vinegar. Don't use vinegar on solid brass or brass-plated fixtures, as it will damage the finish.

There's a pattern we haven't seen in a couple of days. When I think fade, I think, OK, what's going to happen in China or Japan or Spain or Italy that someone knows that I don't?
I never think that it fades on its own volition these days. It is not inside information to know that Cyprus isn't collapsing, that Europe's burning, or that there will be some awful surprise out of China tonight.
But what's interesting until this reversal is that this is a market led by old tech and old bank, and if we are going to break out to new highs in the S&P 500 then we need those groups to do it.
I think the reversal in IBM (IBM) allows some nice sentiment to creep into the market. It's kind of like the reversal in Caterpillar (CAT), meaning people seem to believe that it's reflecting everything bad, the way it was reflecting everything good before the quarter.
Maybe it is the blessing of youth, but when I met with the investment club at the Villanova School of Business today, the first idea they gave me was IBM, saying they got back into it in the dip because it had gone from being too expensive to being too cheap overnight. As an owner of the stock for the charitable trust, I can attest to that journey.
It is very good news to see follow-through in the beaten stocks (it makes Qualcomm (QCOM) real tempting).
All that said, tomorrow morning, when we find out why people sold, we can simply say, hmm, maybe we circle back to losers.
It's been winning.

Pride before a fall?
We report from the press launch for World Pride 2012
Three months ago, there was much excitement surrounding World Pride, which takes place in London over the coming weeks. Among the expected highlights were Pride House on Clapham Common, which was backed by the likes of Stephen Fry and David Furnish. An 18 day festival was planned to coincide with the London Olympic Games. Journalists were granted interviews with Furnish, who revealed that Elton John was among those who'd agreed to play.
Then just as we were about to go to press, it was announced that Furnish and his production team would no longer be involved. Citing 'numerous complexities surrounding the availability of talent, sponsors and resources', the press statement ended by saying, 'We wish the Pride House Foundation well in making the concept work and will continue to support the project in whatever way we can.'
By the time of the World Pride 2012 press launch, held just under two weeks ago at the Pride offices in Soho, there was rather less excitement. A handful of gay journalists turned up. The gay monthlies had already gone to press. There was nobody from the lesbian press and nobody from the mainstream media. Still we were assured that this was going to be a very special event - 'like the Jubilee, only bigger', as one speaker would have us believe.
So who's headlining? Deborah Cox. Who? You may well ask, and several people did. Cox is a Canadian singer best known for her late '90s dance anthems, 'Things Just Ain't the Same' and 'Nobody's Supposed to Be Here'. No disrespect to Ms Cox. She is, after all, a multi-platinum award winner. But when people need to explain who you are, it's a pretty safe bet that you're not really headline material. And given that this is World Pride, wouldn't it make more sense if the headliner was lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender?
Next it was suggested that Pink might show up, as her husband 'Corey Hart' was also on the bill. 'Carey Hart, the motorcyclist?' asked Karl Riley from Boyz magazine. 'Not Corey Hart, the singer?' They couldn't say.
For the record, Corey Hart is a Canadian singer who had a big hit in 1983 with 'Sunglasses at Night'. His photograph appears in the press pack. Pink is married to motocross racer Carey Hart. His photograph doesn't appear in the press pack - because he's not on the bill.
Hillary Clinton's name was mentioned. World Pride have awarded Clinton a World LGBT Award for her 'outstanding contributions' to LGBT rights globally. She has accepted. So will she be attending? They couldn't say.
What could they tell us? The march on July 7 will start from Baker Street and end in Trafalgar Square, where there'll be a mixture of musical acts and political speakers. As well as the main stage in Trafalgar Square, there'll be a dance stage in Golden Square and a family area in St Anne's Gardens. Rather like last year.
The aim of World Pride is to promote LGBT issues 'on an international level'. The slogan for this year's event is 'Today London, Tomorrow the World'. At the press launch there were projections promoting 'official destination partner' Las Vegas and cocktail waitresses dressed as showgirls. But where was the sense that this would be the 'truly global event' described in the press pack? Most journalists left shaking their heads.
Of course we should remember that Pride is a free event, staffed by volunteers. But this is World Pride we're talking about. And when sponsors include the likes of Smirnoff, Barclaycard, Tesco and British Airways, you'd expect something a little more exciting than this.
London is world-class city with a gay scene that is second to none. And a world class-city calls for a world-class event. It's great that Boy George will be playing and that scene stalwart Dusty O will be co-hosting the main stage. But failing a surprise appearance from the likes of Pink or Hillary Clinton, there's a strong possibility that World Pride 2012 will pass with barely a flicker of interest from the mainstream media. And that's a crying shame.
The World Pride 2012 festival continues until July 8. World Pride 2012 is on July 7.
