Coping With the Side Effects of Chemo
Chemotherapy is a powerful, lifesaving treatment—but it can cause side effects. Fortunately, you can minimize any discomfort with the strategies listed below.
Anemia: Some chemo drugs can lower your red blood cell count, causing anemia.
What you can do: Report fatigue, weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath. If your anemia is severe, your doctor may recommend a drug or a blood transfusion to boost your red blood cell count. Rest when you need to, eat well and exercise when you feel up to it.
Bleeding: A low platelet count (called thrombocytopenia) sometimes requires putting treatment on hold. Without adequate platelets, your blood can't clot properly. Signs of trouble include easy bruising or nosebleeds, bleeding gums and/or small red or purple dots on your skin or mucous membranes.
What you can do: Report symptoms. Protect yourself from bleeding by shaving with an electric razor and using a soft toothbrush.
Diarrhea and constipation: When chemotherapy irritates the lining of the intestine, it may trigger diarrhea. Constipation can result from anticancer or pain medications. If diarrhea lasts for more than a day or involves cramping, check with your doctor about medicine to control it (don't use over-the-counter remedies). Intravenous fluids may be needed.
What you can do: For diarrhea, avoid caffeine-containing beverages, high-fiber foods and milk products. Check with your doctor about replacing lost potassium with foods such as bananas. For constipation, get some exercise and drink fluids. Don't take a laxative or stool softener without your doctor's okay.
Fatigue: Almost everyone on chemo gets tired—from feeling a bit weary to being completely wiped out.
What you can do: Take breaks or naps and let others help. Relaxation techniques reduce stress. If your doctor approves, gentle exercise (like walking) has been shown to be energizing and beneficial.
Fuzzy thinking: Symptoms dubbed "chemo brain" include an inability to concentrate. You may also feel a bit "down."
What you can do: Try to keep your perspective and sense of humor. If depression develops, talk with your doctor.
Hair loss: Only some chemo drugs have this effect. After treatment, hair grows back, often fuller than before.
What you can do: If your hair comes out, protect your head with sunscreen, or a head covering like a hat.
Mouth sores: Some therapies irritate the lining of the mouth and throat, causing sores and making eating uncomfortable.
What you can do: Ask about ointments or artificial saliva. Brush gently, and use a medicated, non-alcohol mouthwash. Concentrate on soft foods, and drink plenty of fluids.
Nausea and vomiting: These issues can occur because your body is trying to rid itself of toxic drugs. Call your doctor if nausea becomes severe, liquids won't stay down or vomiting lasts more than a day.
What you can do: Anti-vomiting and antinausea drugs help almost everyone. Ask if you can take them preventively. Smaller meals, liquids before (not with) food and avoiding strong smells will help, too. Breathing deeply can also reduce nausea.
Nerve damage: Certain drugs may damage nerves, leading to tingling or burning sensations or numbness and weakness in fingers or feet. This is usually temporary.
What you can do: Be sure to tell your healthcare provider about your symptoms. You may need a different drug or a treatment break.
Sunburn: Many types of chemotherapy increase your sensitivity to the sun.
What you can do: Avoid sun exposure during your chemotherapy and wear protective clothing.
Neutropenia: Chemo can cause white blood cells to plummet to abnormally low levels, a condition called neutropenia. Since white blood cells fight off infections, there is a period of risk when you could get a blood infection.
What you can do: Wash your hands often, stay away from sick people and avoid procedures, dental work and vaccinations—all of which can increase your risk. If you do notice any signs of infection, including fever, chills and aches, report them immediately. If you have "flu" symptoms at the time of your lowest blood counts (usually between days 7 and 14 after chemo), with temperature >101° F, go to an emergency room if you can't reach your doctor. Tell them you have a fever and are on chemotherapy.

Ophthalmoscopy (also called fundoscopy) is a test that allows a doctor to
see inside the back of the eye (called the fundus) and other structures using a
magnifying instrument (ophthalmoscope) and a light source. It is done as part
of an eye exam and may be done as part of a routine physical exam.
The fundus contains a lining of nerve cells (the
retina), which detects images seen by the clear, outer
covering of the eye (cornea). The
fundus also contains blood vessels and the
optic nerve.
There are two types of ophthalmoscopy.
Ophthalmoscopy is done to:
No special preparation is needed before
having this test.
Your doctor may use eyedrops to widen (dilate)
your pupils. This makes it easier to see the back of the eye. The eyedrops take
about 15 to 20 minutes to dilate the pupil fully. Your doctor may also use
eyedrops to numb the surface of your eyes. Tell your doctor if:
You may have trouble focusing your eyes for several hours
after the test. You may wish to arrange to have someone drive you home after
the test. You also will need to wear sunglasses when you go outside or into a
brightly lit room.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have
regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the
results may mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out
medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
This type of exam can be
done with or without eyedrops.
This exam takes a few minutes. See a picture of a
direct ophthalmoscopic exam.
This type of eye exam
gives a more complete view of the retina than direct ophthalmoscopy. It is
usually done by an
This exam takes a few minutes.
During direct
ophthalmoscopy, you may hear a clicking sound as the instrument is adjusted to
focus on different structures in the eye. The light is sometimes very intense,
and you may see spots for a short time following the exam. Some people report
seeing light spots or branching images. These are actually the outlines of the
blood vessels of the retina.
With indirect
ophthalmoscopy, the light is much more intense and may be somewhat
uncomfortable. Pressure applied to your eyeball with the blunt instrument also
may be uncomfortable. After-images are common with this test. If the test is
painful, let the doctor know.
Dilating drops may
make your eyes sting and cause a medicine taste in your mouth. You will have
trouble focusing your eyes for up to 12 hours after your eyes have been
dilated. Your distance vision usually is not affected as much as your near
vision, though your eyes may be very sensitive to light. Do not drive for
several hours after your eyes have been dilated. Wearing sunglasses may make
you more comfortable until the effect of the drops wears off. See the topic Dilated Eye Exam.
In some people, the dilating or anesthetic
eyedrops can cause:
Call your doctor immediately if you have severe and sudden
eye pain, vision problems (halos may appear around light), or loss of vision
after the exam.

doctor to see inside the back of the eye (called the fundus) and other

A look at our work with Presidential administrations: military families and the men in office
It's a strange notion, but new things make us think about the old. There's nothing wrong with looking back! It gives you a stronger perspective for the events of the present, and helps shape where you're headed in the future. While the inaugural celebrations are wrapping up we thought it would be fun to look back at what the Association has been up to during the eight Presidential administrations that have occurred since we started.
Read more of what the Association has accomplished during each of the eight Presidencies we've been around for: Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Sr., Clinton, Bush, and Obama.
Politics aside, we have spent the past 43 years working to better the lives of military families. Although world and national issues continue to affect our community, we will continue to push forward and pursue innovative ways to provide support.
What would you like to see us accomplish in the next four years?

Sam Keller's career as a quarterback at Arizona State and Nebraska may not have turned out exactly the way he hoped, but he may still make a major impact on the face of college football. Keller is suing EA Sports and the NCAA for the "blatant and unlawful use" of athlete likenesses in the popular NCAA football and basketball video games produced by EA Sports. Anyone who has ever played the game knows that he's got a helluva case.
The rosters of the teams in the game aren't a random mish-mosh of players representing well-known schools. No, they are exact replicas of the actual team rosters with the same uniform numbers, heights, weights and home states. Reporting on the suit, Darren Rovell of CNBC notes the exactness that game designers use when creating the players.
In one example, Keller uses Kent State running back Eugene Jarvis. Jarvis is 5-foot-5, weighs 170 pounds, wears number six and is a redshirt junior from Pennsylvania. In EA's NCAA 2009, the Kent State running back is 5-foot-5, weighs 170 pounds, wears number 6 and is a redshirt junior from Pennsylvania. ... In the 2009 game, former Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman is identical to the virtual Freeman, Keller notes, right down to the arm sleeve.
EA and the NCAA claim that not including player names means they aren't stealing the likenesses, but that argument is undermined by the ease with which users can upload full rosters. Once uploaded, the in-game announcers are programmed to say many of the names which is odd for a game that isn't expressly trying to create ultra-realistic likenesses of college athletes.
This isn't a new issue. In Mitch Albom's book "Fab Five," Chris Webber tells a story of scraping together money to eat at an Ann Arbor restaurant that is next door to a store selling his jersey for a nice sum. We now know that Webber and the rest of the Wolverines were well taken care of during their college years, but there's little doubt about the reason why someone would buy a Michigan basketball jersey with #4 on the back.
Keller's suit is a class-action lawsuit, which means many other players may be joining the effort to see their share of monies that the game has created. They certainly deserve their share, because the games wouldn't sell worth squat if not for their uncanny recreation of the players that make college sports tick.

Got to do better than 1-for-3
BALTIMORE — Blue Jays skipper John Gibbons was in a joking mood before today's game against the Orioles. Joe Inglett (5-for-11 since being called up from Triple-A) was held out of the starting lineup for the finale in Baltimore, so it was only natural for us scribes to ponder why Inglett was on the bench.
"He only has one hit last night — that's unacceptable," quipped Gibbons.
In reality, Mighty Joe was on the bench in order to get Marco Scutaro back in the mix. Gibbons said he didn't want Scoot going too long between starts while Scott Rolen is out. Speaking of whom, Gibbons said that in a "best-case" scenario, Rolen could possibly be ready to return in two weeks, which would be later this month. I say that's pretty optimistic.
Aaron Hill was back in the No. 2 hole in the lineup, where he figures to stay for a while. Hill's enjoyed hitting second and Gibbons has really liked having Hill's bat high in the order. You want your best hitters getting the most at-bats and Hill is certainly proving to be one of Toronto's top offensive weapons. Batting second will give him more ABs.
Also, for those of you who might've heard a report on the FAN590 about GM J.P. Ricciardi joining the team unexpectedly on this road trip with intention of possibly firing Gibbons, well, there's simply nothing to it. Ricciardi is back home in Boston and Gibby's job is secure. The report was completely unsubstantiated.

It's nice to see that the Jays are showing that they can win on the road and on top of that they are taking advantage of poor pitching. Good moves by gibby to give Aaron and Matt the rest of the game off (though I would've pulled Wells instead of Matt but no big deal.)
Jamie and Pat suggested that the reason Rios got the day off yesterday was due to the play he didn't make on Monday when Burnett was pitching, makes sense to me.
Thanks for clearing the J.P./Gibbons situation Jordan.
again team looks great. offence was outstanding today just hitting 1 through 9, but then again it is only baltimore. i was impressed with eck at the top, getting on in the first, with that beautiful bunt, and just going 3-4 on the night. also wells looked good, rios, and hill with the shot to left. marcum was solid and overall just a great night. i really like hill in that 2 spot and hope the jays stick with him there. jordan – what are the jays saying right now as the worse case scenario for rolen ? i think 2 weeks could be hopeing for too much as well (but then again 2 weeks is great – i'd love him back in 2wks) – but honestly what should we expect ? a month ?
Well, I don't think theres any doubt about who hits in the 2 hole after tonight. Hill has really matured. If he keeps this up, he's a lock for all-star, if he gets the votes.
It was also nice to see Eckstein have a 3 for 4 night. Maybe he's just been pressing. Overall a great game for the hitters, maybe we needed a break out game like that. Let's hope it continues.
Bosox, we have more depth in starters than you think. Check out David Purcey, in AAA Syracuse. He's the real deal, and is ready to make the jump. A big LH, low to mid 90's fastball, devastating curve/slider and a changeup in work. He struggled with mechanics for a couple of years, but got straightened out last year. Also, in AA, we have another first rounder, who I predict will have a break out year this year-Rickie Romero, another quality LH. I expect he could move to AAA before the end of the year or be called up in an injury situation.
Also we drafted extremely well last year and although it's still young in the season we have 19 pitchers in either A-, A+ or AA with era's under 2.0. We are pitching rich down there and some of those guys are going to be rapid risers-Brett Cecil as an example in A+. So we probably have more depth in pitching than anyone, once you check it out.
One of our young guys who could be a serious rapid riser this year is Kenny Rodriguez in Dunedin A+. All he's done so far in his first 2 starts is go 12 innings, 4 hits, 2 runs ( both hr's), 1 bb, 12 k's and kept opposing hitters to a .100 BA. He's from Cuba and we signed him last year. He pitched for the Cuban national team ( probably whipped the USA national team-lol) and defected while the team was in a tournament in Ecuador.
In his first pro start in Dunedin, he threw a complete game ( 6 innings) 1 hitter shutout, only going 1 hitter over the minimum. Apparently, we're not too sure of his age ( 20-23), but he certainly looks special and I'd expect if his next 2 to 3 starts are of the same quality, we'll start moving him up quickly.
Thanks for the minor league report, gsumner, and it's nice to have you back. If anybody doubts the worth of JP, and what he has done since his arrival, we just have to look at our farm system. We should be able to field good teams for a long time.
It's nice to have a giggler like last night, and I think I may have been the only one watching the bottom of the 9th that wasn't being paid to do so. It's good to see Zaun hit the ball hard again. I hope he gets turned around now.
It's a long time to the all star break, but we could be sending Wells, Rios, and Hill, along with some pitching help if we're not careful. It seems like a long time since we have sent multiple players.
Always nice.
Hill is a lock for all star games this year and many years to come… He reminds me of Jeff Kent but with way better defence and is not an A-hole. Rios's power stroke will come and he will put up some serious numbers this year, as will Wells. What we are missing is Overbay hitting like he was in 06. Rolen will certainly help the offence with his return in the next 2-4 weeks, adding another power threat to the lineup.
I agree completely that JP has done some fantastic things with the arms in the minors, and with Snider going to be a star this team is locked and loaded!!!
If you are depending on a kid riding bus in the minors, think again. He will not even sniff the big leagues this year.
How do you feel about a TRUCE. I do agree this blog is better with your participation even if everyone does not agree with you all of the time. It doesn,t make sense to get all personal on this but rather having constructive debates seems like the way to go. I have been equally guilty as you and suggest we put a stop to it and have some fun. This could be the year we go all the way so the more the merrier! One comment I have about the changes to the site is I do not think it is as easy for the average fan to stumble across this BLOG site based on how you now access Jordans page. It was much easier how it was listed in the headlines before. Alot of people have been lost because of this just look how long it took Gsumner to find it. LOL, that was only a joke!
All in all a fine start to the season. Staters look great. Don't worry A.J. will come around and be very consistent this year. Some nice surprises in the pen. I only hope that Ryan can bounce back from this thing and be resonably as effective as he was in 06.
The last piece of this puzzle folks is to sign Barry quick before the Yankees do. The perfect fit for Bonds would be to come to Canada and win a World Series.
You're right about Overbay. I was looking at the RISP stats this morning and noticed he is in the bottom 5 guys in all of baseball hitting with runners in scoring position. We definatly need him better than that. I think he just needs more at bats.
By the way, it's not only our minor league pitchers that are getting off to a good start. Check out some of the hitters.
Robinson Diaz: .407
Adam Lind: .391
Marcos Cabal: .571
Scott Campbell: .486
Brian Doprick: .395
Cory Patton: .378
JP Arenciba: .300
Raul Barron: .522
Manuel Rodriguez: .444
Johnathon Jaspe: .343
Kevin Aherns: .293
Of course most of these guys will drop off. However, it is really nice to see both Arenciba and Aherns off to better starts. They both struggled last yeatin the GCL.
Also, 2nd baseman, Scott Campbell is starting to look like the real deal. He played well for us last year at Auburn and was bumped all the way up to AA, this spring. Maybe ready for a jump to AAA before the end of the year.
If we do have an injury to a starter you will have the pleasure of watching David Purcey and your guys will not like what they see. Trust me on that. lol
Purcey could/will get called up but this kid Rodriguez who is in single A has ZERO chance of sniffing the big leagues.
His age, is really the big thing. The White Sox quick tracked Alexei Ramirez to the majors this season after defecting, but he is 26. A 20-23 year old defect, would not likely be move along that quickly. If the Jays are started the guy in Single A, it is likely that he will take at least 2 years to even think about cracking the squad. We definately have some good things coming from the AA and single A in the future and it is nice to see.
gsumner – i know your big on the minor league and its players ( i am somewhat to, and could probably talk about the prospect alot to ) but you have to remember the level they are playing at. alot of those numbers arnt as great as they seem. lind and diaz hitting well in AAA that im really happy to see. but cabel and doprick – really aren't something id be too concerned about. i think the sleeper this year in the minors is cecil. after seeing him pitch when i was down in florida, and everything ive heard about him, he could really be on the fast track up to the majors. once he gets some innings under his belt in florida i wouldnt be supprized to see him in AA (maybe may/june) and if needed, he could make the jump like litsch. but realisticly i think for 09 is when he could really have an influcence. ive been impressed with aherns and his start (even though it has gone downhill) but i think its great hes started hot in lansing. same for Arenciba and snider. purcey – numbers look great and i can wait to see him up with the big club.
and also to back you up on the rodriguez kid – i could see him being an option if we have some injuries – and he keeps pitching the way he is now. again he is a defect so you never know. none the less.. the minor leauges are looking strong again
I wouldnt say Zero chance, I bet if you asked alot of people last year, Jesse Litsch wouldnt have had a chance either.
A few more good starts in A then its AA and from there who knows?
Personnaly I hope we dont see him this year because that would mean some serious injuries. But its a looong way till september.
I am still a little worried about Lyle Overbay, his 275 average isnt too bad but he only has 2 double for the year so far and he still hasn't shown any power. He is also one of the top 10 in the AL with 14 strikeouts (Rios has 15 by the way). I know it's early but I would like to see him start hitting a few just to ease my mind.
I doubt if Rodriguez will be ready this year. What I meant by moving is moving up the minor league system. On the other hand if this kid keeps overwhelming batters in A+, he should be moved to AA within the next 3-4 starts-it would make no sense to keep him in Single A+. If he works out there, he could be in AAA by July-and then who knows. Cuban players are much more tested and mature than the college kids in NA, so it's surprising what we're seeing. BUT our 6th starter is David Purcey.
Canadianbaseballkid-I like Cecil as well, but he had some shoulder or elbow troubles in spring training, which is why he's pitched so few innings; so they might take it slower with him. He definately is a good one and if he's healthy, could be a potential for this year, under dire injury problems. I mentioned a number of the hitters to make everyone aware that the depth in position players looks like it might be stronger than it's been for a while-that's all. What I'm hoping is we don't need any of these kids this year; but one never knows when or if we'll get injuries.

Every year, we see changes in the online casino Industry. These changes are introduced so that they can bring in more players to make online casino world more flourishing. Today, in this article, we would discuss some new trends that will keep you ahead in this game.
Online casino is experiencing a lot of growth. From the different varieties of content produced in 2017, especially those games which got their tie-up with big film releases and popular franchises, there has been a gradual growth when it comes to the number of players. Reports have stated that in UK, 33% of the gambling revenues came only from online casinos in the year 2016. Below are the top three trends that you have to know about:
1-Virtual Reality Gaming:
As we know, virtual reality is the new technological revolution that is changing the world and the impact can be seen in online casinos as well. There can surely be no talk about gaming without considering the growing commerciality of virtual reality in this field. The Facebook subsidiary Oculus and the Valve Corporation's Steam both are probably going to release the games that would give a new direction to the casino industry. In fact, mobile AR technology will drive the now $108 billion VR market by 2021. So, if you are a gaming freak, you must keep yourself in touch with this trend.
2-Live Gaming:
We would see huge changes in live gaming as well. Twitch, a well-known digital platform for gaming has recently announced that it has more than 45 million people a month logging into either play games or spectate others' games options. A huge change can also be seen in Facebook Live Stream as well that itself shows the inclination of people toward this industry. To attract more people, they might start giving joining mega bonus and make the ambiance more lucrative so that people can enjoy the aliveness of the live gaming and can have the thrill that they are looking for.
3- Skills-Based Casino Gaming:
This trend probably attracts more pro gamers in the market. We can see the shift of interest from amateur gaming to skill-based gaming. So if you want to be the part of this world as a hobbyist for long and want to make it a professional choice, then, this is the right year for you where you can make a good amount of money, as all these companies are trying to push hard to make it more than just gaming.
While online casinos have been using content from movies, other games and TV shows, in their games alongside traditional themes, people prefer more content and story-based gaming.
There would certainly be more new things coming into the picture and if you want to make it big, you have to keep yourself updated. So don't go anywhere, bookmark our page (Ctrl+D) and we'll bring you the best information that you want to hear.

While China Mobile is using Tencent's popular mobile instant messaging and social platforms WeChat and QQ to promote the use of its high-speed mobile data services, the growing use of the Tencent's free voice and text messaging apps is also hurting China Mobile's earnings.
WeChat has more than 350 million monthly active users. Most use WeChat to swap messages, post pictures and share personal updates. But It has also begun adding mobile games, an online-payment tool and even a platform for investing into a money market-like fund.
China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua conceded that the company's profitability has taken a hit because of stiff competition from messaging apps. China Mobile in the first quarter "experienced severe challenges in its operations and development as the impact of mobile Internet on the traditional communications business became more evident," he said in a statement after the world's largest mobile carrier reported a 9.4% decline in earnings.
China Mobile declined to provide further comment on the impact of messaging apps.
The company didn't disclose the breakdown of its revenue but analysts said they estimate that traditional voice and text revenue still accounts for more than 60% of China Mobile's total revenue.
China Mobile isn't sitting still. To compete with Wechat and other mobile messaging applications, China Mobile has also promoted its own mobile communications tool called Fetion (means speedy communications in Chinese) but it has failed to gain much ground.
Tencent's QQ and WeChat dominate the mobile messaging market in China. China's top mobile instant messaging app QQ had 325.7 million active users as of the end of January, according to Beijing-based research firm Enfodesk. China Mobile's Fetion only ranked eighth with 3.7 million active users.
On the bright side, Tencent has also been expanding its features on WeChat which could help boost traffic on China Mobile's new speedy fourth-generation mobile data services.
Tencent's WeChat is more than just a messaging tool. It has a social feature called "moments" which resembles Facebook and allow users to share photos and status. The Internet company is also promoting games, shopping and financial services on its WeChat platform which will help drive mobile date traffic.
Tencent, which only began featuring games on WeChat last year, already has four of the top five grossing games in China on iOS, according to App Annie.
Tencent declined to comment.

I live in a house with a caring partner and our youngest teenager. They go off to their purpose-filled days and I feel at loose ends. I know I had a routine once. I know I felt my days had rhythm, but it eludes me and leaves me feeling empty, lonely. I do not know who to reach out to as our friends have great careers and beautifully busy lives. I volunteer some, but it seems to come in waves of busy frenzy and then ebbs of quiet inactivity. How quickly I forget that pain of over-scheduled and draining days. A sign of Alzheimer's, to be sure.
There are other signs that have popped up lately. I have had a lot of difficulty putting errands in the order that corresponds to the most direct route. My driving is increasingly like our 15-year-old son's. I seem to be losing that skill slowly and am not sure when to completely give it up. I have trouble organizing tasks in the house and even remembering what I'm doing once I leave a room. I feel vapid and stupid. I know I appear healthy and normal, but I wonder if during times like this, that creeping expression of confusion is slipping into some of my limited interactions. A committee meeting for a huge fundraiser last week left me certain I had sat for an hour and taken nothing from it. A casual dinner with friends and their laughter and talk was genuine and I basked in the warm flow of emotions, but took no intellectual content away.
Sitting at the computer for hours a day, hoping for a connection, something to anchor me to a meaningful existence, is how I occupy a great deal of my time. Knitting, quilting, and reading, things that would have filled my alone time previously, are not interesting due to their intellectual demands. So, like a river, I'm searching for easier paths, but still trying to move forward.
I know I will connect with the warmth, strength, and purpose I need soon. This disease is a slow process of loss. I am, perhaps, grieving some loss right now, but I remain certain that there is a great deal to enjoy ahead and I will not feel this for long.

Game#154: Blue Bombers at Bronx Bombers
So, I walk off the elevator and step into the tunnel here at The Stadium this morning and a line of Blue Jays were walking in at the same time. As we all made our way to the clubhouse, Aaron Hill calls out, "Jordan…" and I turn to see an obviously tired second baseman dragging his feet and practically sleepwalking his way to work "…why are you here soo early?" I replied with a simple, "I don't know." Now, I'm regretting my early arrival to get some extra work done even more, considering there's a tarp on the diamond and God is sending a heavy misting rain down on the Bronx. Anyway, off to the pregame…
Toronto (78-75) at New York (88-65)
at 1:05 p.m. ET (weather premitting) at Yankee Stadium
Today's lineups:
Reed Johnson, RF
Matt Stairs, 1B
Alex Rios, CF
Frank Thomas, DH
Aaron Hill, 2B
Russ Adams, 3B
Adam Lind, LF
Curtis Thigpen, C
Ray Olmedo, SS
PITCHING: RHP Shaun Marcum (12-6, 4.15 ERA)
Melky Cabrera, CF
Derek Jeter, SS
Bobby Abreu, RF
Alex Rodriguez, 3B
Hideki Matsui, LF
Jorge Posada, C
Jason Giambi, DH
Robinson Cano, 2B
Doug Mientkiewicz, 1B
PITCHING: RHP Phil Hughes (4-3, 4.75 ERA)
NOTES: Toronto purchased the contract of OF John-Ford Griffin on Saturday to add some more outfield depth with CF Vernon Wells out. Wells (left shoulder) was placed on the 60-day DL to clear room for JFG on the 40-man roster. … SS John McDonald missed his fourth game with what he is now describing as a lower abdominal strain, but he's expected to be back in the lineup on Sunday. … 1B Lyle Overbay said that he will have surgery to remove four pins from his hand on Tuesday in Baltimore. Previously, the club only indicated the operation would take place some time during the Jays' series against the O's. … C Sal Fasano is away from the team to be with his wife, who is expecting a baby boy any day now. Toronto manager John Gibbons wasn't sure if Fasano would be returning to the team with only nine games left. … Thomas is going to be a part of TBS's playoff TV team. He'll be a part of a panel that also includes Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr., and Thomas said he's slated to provide analysis through the LCS.
BREAKING EVEN…Toronto needs to post a 4-5 record over its final nine games to finish the season above .500.

Interesting comments or lack thereof on Johnson. It sounds like he's already got one foot out the door. Personally, I like the guy-he comes to play every day, plays hard and never gives up. I'm sure he's still recovering from surgury and expect a better perfomance form his next year.
If the Jays sign Stairs for 2008, they have an over abundance of outfielders, a situation I've mentioned a number of times. And like everyone here, I like Johnson, Stairs, Wells, Rios and Lind.
I remember a phone in program after the season ended last year on the fan 590, where Bob McGowan was asked what he'd do with Johnson. His immmediate response was to trade him because he'd just had a career year, would never match it and his value would never be higher. Although, I detest Bob McGowan, maybe this time ( the 1 in 1000) he was right.
The Jays then rewarded Johnson with a hefty raise taking him from 1.45 mill to 3.075 mill, and Johnson is eligible for arbitration this year.I doubt The Jays could get much in return for Johnson if they trade him now and I'm sure he will get a raise with the spectre of arbitration looming..
I also doubt if Stairs will have as good of a year next year as he's had this one. Hindsight being 100% accurate, we should have traded Stairs before the trade deadline-when we'd have gotten some real value from him.
My opinion, is to resign Johnson for two years, unless we can obtain a better lead-off hitter and keep Lind up here as the priorities. Remember in two years we have the RBI machine, Travis Snider likely ready, and that might be a better time to trade Johnson.
I'd say adios to Stairs instead.
it's now 2:27, the tarp is off the field and the approx. start time is in three minutes and counting…
Don't worry Stairs will sign with another team that will pay him the best $$$$.
But you can't blame him he's comeing to the end of the line and money talks.
Johnson will be back for less money and he will do the job.
It would be nice to see Adams make the team next year.
Poor Jordan must be at least 27 and missed some sleep poor boy.
Hey, sleep is key after 14 innings and a 10-hour work day.
Pat Tabler gets his nut off every time his dream boat A-Rod the crybaby comes up to the plate.
I watched your interview on MLB TV. I must say you clean up quite well. lol
I see it's off the site now, you should post a link here so others can take a look.
I worked 16 hour days most of my life.
I guess the mental aspect of your job can be tough since you have to deal with Abner and his pappy,lol.
Ya dealing with Abner has got to be tough; listening to that mumble of his and trying to figure out what he said.
Come on Marcum, just keep us close, work up Hughes pitch count and let's get into their pen
Why pitch Marcum this late in the year you can see how tired he looks,Why not try Wolfe and give him a break.
Yes, Marcum does look done doesn't he. Wolfe isn't stretched out. I am surprised they didn't start Josh Banks though.
I believe this link works for the interview things: http://mfile.akamai.com/10869/wmv/mlb.download.akamai.com/10869/2007/open/bbchtv/interviews/archive09/092007_bastian_jordan.wmv
Nice play by the yanks I think they like each other.
Any coment from hemgold.
Man, Stairs has got to be 2 for 40 now, nasty slump. He keeps going like this and he's going to cost himself a lot of money for next year.
Garry-did you check out Jordan's TV performance.
Bulldog keeps hanging in there, man this kid has a lot of heart.
Great at bat by Thigpen. Makes Hughes throw it 8 times and on the 9th strokes a single and drives in 2 runs
Thigpen just snapped an 0-for-23 skid with that hit, too. Nice AB — nine pitches, two balls, and six foul balls. He made contact with every swing — solid trip to the plate.
Olmedo had a good at bat as well. Hughes is now up to 80 pitches, one more patient inning and he's outta there. I can't imagine the Yanks hve much left in their pen from last night.
That's a strange move-replacing Marcum after only 51 pitches. I hope he's not hurt
Marcum left with a sore right knee. It looked like he may have hurt himself on the rundown in the second.
well, let's hope Tallet can go 3.
Hey Stairs finally gets a hit-time
Garry-Are you having your afternoon nap?
Hey I kept Jordan company last night and I work long hours, especially this time of year . I saw your interview Jordan . it was well done
My company just left it looks like we may be up to our necks in honey on —-????
gsumner did your hear indigo she kept Jordan company last night hmmmmm,lol.
in honey or—-????.
Where are you guys chick-chick-chick-were ahead right now yoo hoo.

Greenwich boys lacrosse team beats rival New Canaan
For senior attack Luke Finneran and the Greenwich High School boys lacrosse team, Thursday's 11-8 victory over New Canaan was especially rewarding -- and for good reason.
Entering Thursday's showdown, the Rams had defeated the Cardinals four consecutive times over the past two seasons, including a pair of postseason victories. So the Cardinals went into the much-anticipated matchup with a bit of payback on their mind.
Finneran helped Greenwich have the final say this time around, registering four goals and two assists at Cardinal Stadium. Junior attack Decker Curran recorded a hat trick with two assists and senior midfielder Kyle Foote tallied twice for Greenwich (9-1). The game was a rematch of last year's FCIAC final, won by New Canaan, 8-5.
"It's a huge win anytime we beat a great team like New Canaan," Finneran said. "I had never beaten them before in any sport that I played -- lacrosse or hockey -- so it's a great day right now."
Michael Kraus, a junior attack, had a hat trick with two assists, while senior attack Harry Stanton and senior midfielder Cole Turpin scored two goals apiece for New Canaan (7-2). The Rams, who fell behind 6-2 at halftime, were plagued by turnovers throughout, some of which were unforced.
"I thought it was an extremely sloppy game on our part," Rams coach Chip Buzzeo said. "We maybe played a good five minutes in the fourth quarter. The unforced turnovers really hurt us. Lacrosse is about possessions and we had possessions, but we gave them away."
Cardinals coach Scott Bulkley was impressed how his squad battled through the game against the two-time defending FCIAC champions. Bulkley noted that numerous players went into the matchup feeling under the weather.
"A lot of our guys are just getting over the flu," Bulkley said. "The whole defense had the flu, but for them to do such a good job against a great New Canaan offense is a testament of how tough they are."
Trailing 2-1 after a pair first-quarter goals by Kraus, the Cardinals scored five unanswered goals to go into halftime up 6-2. Sophomore Bobby Goggin tied the score at 2-2 for GHS, converting a low shot off Finneran feed. Attack John Tooher put a high shot past Rams goalie Trent Nader off a Finneran pass and attackman Scooter Harrington tallied, putting the home team ahead, 6-4, at the 7:26 mark of the second quarter. Curran scored off a dodge and midfielder Will Perry converted a perimeter shot, capping the Cards' second-quarter surge.
"I had a shorty on me in the beginning and I was able to dish it off a lot and we were able to get a lot of goals in the crease," Finneran said.
Sparked by seniors Jack Harrington, Jack Nail, Nick Schepis and Cole Perry and junior Griffin Tiedy, Greenwich's defense was sound.
"For us, the most important thing is playing together as a team," Harrington said. "New Canaan is a great team offensively, but Nail, Tiedy and Nick did a great job of shutting people down. We really learned from our loss to Fairfield Prep (12-11). We know we have to play as one unit -- no one is above anyone."
New Canaan, which had won five of its last six meetings against GHS, had two time-consuming possessions in the first quarter, but couldn't capitalize.
"We had our chances at the beginning of the game to get a lead, but we turned the ball over," Buzzeo said. "If you give the ball away to a good team like that, you're not going to win. Greenwich had a great game plan today and we had to adjust to a lot of things."
The Rams cut the Cards' lead to 6-4 on goals from Turpin and Justin Meichner, but GHS responded with tallys by Curran and Finneran to regain its four-goal edge. After Stanton's man-up tally, Finneran found the cage with a shot from 20 yards out and Foote scored while falling to the turf, making it 10-5. Three consecutive goals brought the Rams to within 10-8, but the Cardinals held on behind the impressive work of senior Tommy Rogan in goal.
Rogan made 14 saves, four of which came during the fourth quarter, while middie Mike Sullivan won nine faceoffs.
"We came out very aggressive and with a lot of passion," Rogan said. "Toward the end, we got a little tired, but then we picked it up. We're happy with how we're playing right now."
Said Bulkley: "We have a guy in cage who is stopping the ball and just doesn't want to lose."
Nader made seven saves for the Rams, who play rival Darien Saturday.
"Greenwich can definitely shoot the ball," Buzzeo said. "They have some of the best shooters I've seen in two years. They took it to us."

As you read this, Mercy Aigbe and hubby and some close friends are in a room in his hotel arguing heatedly and asking Mercy to go down on her knees and beg hubby for what happened on Sunday Night April 7th, 2013, in Lagos Nigeria.
So...where was I?
Funke Oluwole....(whats your last name?Mrs....?) I really didnt want to start this week writing memos because i have written enough to see me through the week.
I saw the first press release and i ignored it because it was official and properly done..yours smirks of I-Too-knowism so i will bother you with a response..not that i stand to gain anyting by replying you Egbon Agbaya. (wait oh,why una dey send two press release sef?any more coming?)I saw your supposed press statement concerning the matter and i checked the dictionary,yes you are on point,all the words you used to describe me exist there....clap for yourself. I will not bother you with a-so-long-a letter response because no need abeg,you are too deep in the well of lies you represent to believe anything else.
Let me ask you one question before i proceed..Did you ask around before you drafted that shopping list addressed to me?
did you know that i have received the 100th call of Insiders begging me to spill the name of the rat who leaked the info?
Did you know that i was asked to quickly delete the story before it would be copied by other bloggers and i almost did before i saw that it was too late to delete?did you that i knew when the press release was being drafted and i said i would not respond because i gain nothing from doing a response to every press release?
You didnt?..so nah who send you to respond?
I guess your loyalty to covering up lies and perhaps seek gratification later for a job well done pushed you?..I understand,we have been on that boulevard and its full of pot holes. I was actually waiting for the supposed media people at the event to report what they saw,i actually waited till this afternoon and saw that there had been a cover up....you call me a myopic blogger who dishes out lies?My job is to tell stories and stick by them if i lie not!
Funke..Foluke(Errm whats your name again?)
I lie because I wrote what happened yesterday and you speak the truth because you sent out a press release calling me out?A press release embedded in lies?Okay paro lo! Contrary to your diarhea mind,i have nothing against mercy..A story is a story and they did come out to debunk it which was fine till you came out to do your own I too know to show you went to school.
I have finished addressing you and my last word to you is bring out all your degrees and chew them up like a rat will,,chew them up before that rat finds it. Now to the matter on ground.
If the people involved in my story are denying that it happened,please this is a stern warning to all the callers,I WILL NOT RAT ON MY SOURCE WHO IS ONE OF YOU and even involved in the first press release,I understand that every story must come with a press release and i doff my heart for the first one properly sent out calling on to her fans to disregard the report..i am one of mercy's fans and i used the other cheek to disregard the story that what happened didnt.
I didnt say that Mr Gentry pummelled his wife last night,i said i hope he has not pumelled her...and even if i did say so,abi una dey find my mouth?
If they are denying the story, why did Mercys hubby compell the MC, Soji Omotayo to announce his wife's whereabouts, it was obvious that, Larry didn't know anything about the room being given to his wife to change?sleep?to do what exactly? Didnt Mercy tell her husband that she was going to use the toilet and it took her husband to forcefully barge into the room before she came out?
one of the staff at Troy confirmed that the Hubby who had drank a little too much was so mad that he didn't pay his remaining bill of N6000 for the drinks he bought for friends and foes.
Wasnt one of Mercy's friend/fan who came from the UK so disappointed that she complained bitterly to the hearing of many and said so many things whilst waiting for Mercy beside the Solaria car she brought.
Wasnt the car hurriedly driven from the venue after my story came out?The car that wouldnt start last night started as soon as the key was turned in the ingnition....No i was not there but Journalism now has legs and eyes! Why has there been a meeting of close friends trying to intervene in what happened yesterday if nothing happened?
My source still confirms that the short sexy black dress worn by Mercy is still missing,na who hide am?Please let us know if it is found otherwise I would declare that the dress was stolen off her that was why she changed and vanish or vanished and changed...whichever comes first.
You ask for proof of picture?I actually have a pic of the white 'thing'she changed into but No i will not upload it because i will not it is that simple.
If you do not want anyone to see your pants,do not wash them in public please...I wish the reporters who witnessed this incidence yesterday will be bold enough to come out and support me....Thats wishful thinking,the fear of men and the love for money has turned journalists into cowards who report only half baked stories to suit the people who pay their bills.
Mercy Aigbe-Gentry and hubby should please go indoors and settle this matter peacefully...I am at least happy that my story has stopped this incident from escalating further.
I have my own cupboard of skeletons and i am not proud to open others...At the end of it all God is the ultimate judge and forgiveness is what we seek.
I wish Mrs and Mrs Gentry well and urge them to keep it indoors next time!
See the earlier Press release from V-Channel on the same issue below:
Re-Actress, Mercy Aigbe Disgraced by Her HusbandThe above subject matter refers.
After reading the latest lie from Stella Dimoko, one can only conclude that the blogger is on a poorly orchestrated vendetta against Mercy Aigbe-Gentry, a successful actress, wife and mother. It is also easy to deduce from the incoherent and watery 'report' that Mrs Dimoko has no idea what journalism or blogging is all about because the story comes across as fiction from a puerile, retrogressive and unproductive mind.
Stella fictitiously and wickedly averred in her report that Mr. Lanre Gentry, husband of frontline Yoruba actress, Mercy Aigbe pummelled her after finding her in a night gown inside a hotel room. This is nothing but a figment of Stella's myopic and infantile imagination. While not joining issues with a blogger who knows zilch about the tenets of journalism considering her antecedents, we would summarise what happened yesterday for the sake of clarity and Mrs Gentry's legion of discerning fans.
Indeed, Mercy was hosted by indigenous television station on Startimes, Odua Mounmarowan, on Sunday evening. She came to the event with her friends, younger sister and Faith Irabor, a journalist in her car. However, Mr. Gentry came in from his hotel in Oregun, Lagos. The event was well-attended by movie and media personalities. Immediately after the event, Mercy went to the changing room allotted to her in company of her husband and Faith Irabor. On getting to the car park, however, Mercy's car didn't start; so she joined her husband with her friends and left for Oregun, her husband's hotel.
In all of these, one can't get where Stella got her concocted report from. Mr Gentry left the venue happy as the event was successful and without hiccups.

In all of these, one can't get where Stella got her concocted report from. Mr Gentry left the venue happy as the event was successful and without hiccups.
As at the time the couple left, the musician specially invited to perform, Sunny Melody was still performing.
We are therefore confused as to where Mrs Dimoko got her story from? The moon, perhaps. Why does Mrs Dimoko keep publishing lies all in the name of journalism? Is she not happy that a younger woman, Mercy, has a flourishing career as an actor and producer and also enjoys domestic felicity? Mrs Dimoko, these are things God can do for you too if you stopped destroying homes and people.
Having said these, we challenge Mrs Dimoko to furnish the public with evidence of Gentry's anger and battery, or Mercy leaving in a nightgown. We strongly believe that those who mean well for journalism should not watch people like this blogger drag the noble profession through the mud.
God help us allFunke Oluwole

Twenty-three years ago this month, Nelson Mandela came to the East Bay as part of a whirlwind global tour.
Mandela, who had served 27 years in South African prisons for fighting to abolish apartheid, had just been released. Harry Belafonte, the singer and social activist, said it was only fitting that Mandela make the East Bay — "the birthplace of the U.S. anti-apartheid movement" — his final stop on an eight-city U.S. tour.
Today, from Oakland and Berkeley to Pretoria, millions are anxiously awaiting word on the 94-year-old Mandela's condition. The iconic leader who played a major role in the dismantling of apartheid and who served as South Africa's first black president, was hospitalized June 8 with a lung condition. South African government officials say that his condition took a turn for the worse over the weekend.
"We are all just sending him every good thought and prayer and wishing for his recovery," said state Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley.
Hancock was one of those at the forefront of the local anti-apartheid movement. In 1973, as mayor of Berkeley, Hancock tried to push the City Council to divest city funds from South Africa. The theory behind divestment was that sustained economic pressure would force the white minority-ruled regime to change its evil ways. Public entities all over the country began withdrawing their investments from companies that invested in or had operations in South Africa. The Berkeley City Council repeatedly voted down the ordinance until 1979, when it became one of the first cities in the U.S. to divest its South Africa holdings.
Yet it was UC Berkeley that drove the national divestment movement into high gear. In 1985 and 1986, thousands of Berkeley students boycotted classes, took over Sproul Hall and built shantytowns. After months of pressure, the UC Regents voted in July 1986 to divest $3 billion in holdings in companies doing business in South Africa.
Pedro Noguera, UC Berkeley student body president at the time, was arrested twice.
"I've always felt a lot of pride in the part we played," says Noguera, now a professor of education at New York University. "So many movements only capture a sliver of the population — the people most affected — but we had students, faculty, people in labor, media, celebrities and ordinary folks. It started as a small movement but mushroomed quickly."
Meanwhile, then-Rep. Ron Dellums of Berkeley was pushing for U.S. economic sanctions against South Africa. Fourteen years after Dellums first introduced anti-apartheid legislation, Congress passed the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986. The economic noose around South Africa grew ever tighter.
In his U.S. tour, Mandela urged Americans to keep up the pressure on Pretoria and to continue their financial support of the African National Congress.
On June 30, 1990, Mandela addressed a sold-out crowd of 60,000 supporters at the Oakland Coliseum. In his remarks, he was gracious about the role that the East Bay had played in helping to secure his release.
"It is clear beyond any reasonable doubt that the unbanning of our organization (the African National Congress) came as a result of the pressure exerted on the apartheid regime by yourselves," Mandela said.
An umbrella shielded Mandela's view of a giant Coca Cola sign on the scoreboard. The ANC had protested the company's continuing business dealings in South Africa. Mandela openly sipped a Pepsi.
"It was something that you just don't forget," said former Oakland Tribune columnist Brenda Payton of Mandela's visit. At the time, Payton wrote:
"Mandela had come to thank the Bay Area for its support and urge its continued fight against apartheid. But he brought something much larger than thanks. He brought hope and resolve, the possibility of our own power and ability to take our destinies in hand."
Hancock described the feeling of euphoria that day at the Coliseum.
"I was on the stage with other elected leaders and citizens just looking out over these massive numbers of people celebrating what they had been able to do together," Hancock said. "It showed that positive citizen-driven change is possible."
We will grieve when Mandela is no longer with us. But he has left a mark that will remain long after his death.

I believe there should be balance in everything. Everything should have a counterpart to complete it. Like yin and yang. Peanut butter and jelly. Macaroni and cheese. Abbott and Costello. One without the other just seems strange. Lacking. I get the same feeling about my dinner plate. My meal feels unbalanced if I don't have some sort of accompaniment to my main course. Even if it's just a slice of garlic bread with a pasta meal, I need something else on my plate. The problem is, my hatred of all things veggie leaves me with few options to balance the plate scales.
Which is why most times you'll find me with some form of potatoes on my plate. Mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, French fries. Oh French fries, how I love you. Crunchy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside—there's nothing better than a hot fry. But for all my love of fries, I'd much rather they come from a bag (fast food or frozen) than actually attempt to make them myself.
Google "French fry recipe" and you'll come up with nearly 2.8 million results. And nothing within the first few pages is anything I wish to try in my kitchen. Soaking the potatoes in ice water for hours before dropping them in hot oil? No thanks. Sacrificing that crunchy exterior by throwing them into the oven instead? I want none of it. I just want a crunchy/creamy fry that I don't have to spend 3 hours on a splattered kitchen and a burnt hand to make. Which is why I now think of Shawn at I Wash You Dry as a complete and utter genius.
Potatoes coated in breadcrumbs, parmesan, and seasonings, baked in the oven until golden brown—the perfect crunchy/creamy scenario without all the hassle! Okay, so maybe they're not McDonalds or Ore-Ida, but they're dang good. And so easy. You don't even have to get your hands dirty. Throw the potatoes in a ziptop bag, drizzle in some oil and swish it around, then dump in the coating ingredients, seal it up and shake. Couldn't be any easier! And you can customize it with any seasonings you want--from hot and spicy to italian flavors, it's completely up to you.
I've made these 3 times in the past week and a half, and I see these becoming my new go-to dinner companion. I may never eat French fries from a bag again. Or at least a frozen bag. Cause, let's be real. I wouldn't give up fast food French fries for anything. No matter how good these oven fries are.
Crispy Oven Fries
Adapted from I Wash You Dry
Serves 4
2 large russet potatoes (or 3 medium potatoes), peeled and sliced into ½-inch strips
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup plain breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1. Preheat oven to 425F. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper until combined.
3. Place potatoes and oil in a ziptop bag and toss to coat evenly. Add breadcrumb mixture to bag, seal, and shake until potatoes are coated evenly.
4. Arrange potatoes on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake, turning potatoes halfway through, until crust is golden brown, about 25 to 27 minutes.

Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood has been divorced by his wife of 24 years on the grounds of adultery.
Jo Wood has been granted a decree that is the first of two stages of divorce.
The divorce becomes final after six weeks and a day.
The 62-year-old guitarist married the 54-year-old former model in 1985 and they have two children together.
They split last year after the musician began a relationship with Russian Ekaterina Ivanova. The affair was widely covered in Britain's tabloid press.
Neither Jo nor Ronnie was present at London's High Court Wednesday for the granting of the divorce.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "We need to vanquish all hope from this market," Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Tuesday. Only then can investors safely start buying the sectors that are working. Cramer explained that the markets remain divided, with some investors feeling a deal on the so-called fiscal cliff will be reached in time while others are expecting the worst. That makes for a volatile market, said Cramer, one that can give big gains one day but take them away the next, as was seen by the likes of Darden Restaurants ( DRI - Get Report), down 9.5% Tuesday, and Gap Stores ( GPS - Get Report), down 10%. Hopes were high just last week that a budget compromise could be reached, said Cramer, but over the past 72 hours those hopes appear to be fading. Some investors feel the whole fiscal cliff debacle is being overdone, while others feel we'd be better off with the mandatory taxes and spending cuts. Cramer continues to believe the cliff is indeed a big deal and one that must be avoided at all costs. But until all hope is lost and widespread fear sets in, Cramer said it may be too risky to buy any of the growth stocks he recommended on Monday's show, including Amazon.com ( AMZN - Get Report) and Ulta Salon ( ULTA - Get Report). When all hope is vanquished however, Cramer said not only can those growth stocks be bought, he'd also recommend the autos, including Ford Motor ( F - Get Report), and the housing stocks, such as Toll Brothers ( TOL - Get Report). Toll told investors today that new home formation cannot be kept artificially low forever.

Nursing Admits First Masters of Science in Nursing Students
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay (UWGB) Professional Program in Nursing proudly announces nineteen (19) registered nurses (RNs) have been accepted to the first cohort in the new online Masters of Science in Nursing (MSN) Leadership and Management in Health Systems Program. Living in sixteen cities and six states across the country with undergraduate degrees from four universities (including a majority of UWGB alumni), the new admits will begin online MSN courses in Fall of 2013. The average age of those admitted is 42 years and the average grade point average is 3.6 (on a 4.0 scale).
The newly admitted RNs aspire to management and leadership roles and practice in diverse areas ranging from the intensive care unit (ICU) to home care and public health, long term care, surgery, cardiac care, mental health, emergency services, oncology and correctional nursing. Many already have manager or leader roles such as directors, team leaders, quality measures, vice-presidents of business, and even a hospital chief nursing officer.
The UWGB faculty and staff consulted with nurse managers and leaders across the nation in developing the curriculum for the MSN program. The curriculum covers 34 credits in twelve online courses delivered over two years (six consecutive academic periods). Students will participate in practicum placements during the second year at sites close to their homes.
For more information regarding the UWGB MSN Leadership & Management in Health Systems, go to the program website at: http://www.uwgb.edu/nursing/msn/ or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Laura Nyro
Laura Nyro was, above all, original.
Her unflinching confessional lyrics and audacious rhythmic shifts made her an idol and trailblazer for such stars as Elton John and Kate Bush. Nyro's commercial success doesn't reflect her talent, but her work will endure for generations.
Laura Nyro was among the most gifted singer/songwriters of modern times and one of the first female singer/songwriters who didn't come from the folk-music world.
Her music reflected a combination of spirituality and street smarts. Bursting with talent, she possessed a penetrating, soulful voice, a commanding touch on the piano and an arsenal of impressionistic songs that drew from R&B, soul, gospel, jazz, Brill Building pop and Broadway show tunes. As Jon Pareles wrote in the New York Times, Nyro "linked high-flown poetry to the ecstatic emotions of soul music, and her singing mixed the pure tones of a soprano with the throbs and swoops of gospel and jazz."
Nyro was not easily pigeonholed and seemed almost too intense and unconventional for mainstream tastes. She never attained a Top 40 single, gold album or Grammy Award. However, she did have a beloved cult following, and other performers found great success recording her songs, including Fifth Dimension ("Stoned Soul Picnic," "Wedding Bell Blues"), Blood, Sweat and Tears ("And When I Die," "He's a Runner"), Three Dog Night ("Eli's Comin'") and Barbra Streisand ("Stoney End"). For back-to-back weeks in 1969, three of the Top 10 songs on Billboard's singles chart were written by Nyro.
One of the anomalies of Nyro's career was that she was guarded and retiring in her personal life but filled her songs and performances with uninhibited feeling and feverish intensity. She seldom gave interviews, toured infrequently and announced her retirement (which turned out to be temporary) at age 24. Nonetheless, her recorded work—especially a remarkable run of albums in her first half-decade—documented a major talent bursting with precocious soulfulness and a singular musical style.
Driven by an inner flame, Nyro was forthright and independent in her approach to music. "I'm not interested in conventional limitations when it comes to my songwriting," she contended in the liner notes for Stoned Soul Picnic: The Best of Laura Nyro (1997). "I may bring a certain feminist perspective to my songwriting, because that's how I see life. I'm interested in art, poetry and music. As that kind of artist, I can do anything. I can say anything. It's about self-expression."
Nyro (whose birth name was Laura Nigro) was raised in New York City, where she heard and studied all kinds of music. Her father was a jazz trumpet player. Her mother introduced her to opera and classical music. She attended the High School of Music and Art in Manhattan, where she discovered jazz and folk music. She and her friends sang in the streets of the city during the doo-wop era, furthering her love of soul, rhythm & blues and Brill Building pop music.
Nyro was only 19 when she recorded her debut album, More Than a New Discovery, released in early 1967 on the Verve-Folkways label. David Geffen saw Nyro perform at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967; it was only her second real performance. He became her manager and got her signed to Columbia Records.
Three brilliant albums followed in three successive years: Eli and the Thirteenth Confession (1968), New York Tendaberry (1969) and Christmas and the Beads of Sweat (1970). Her piano-driven songs covered a lot of ground and broke with songwriting conventions as Nyro gave free rein to her feelings as a young woman coming of age in the city. Nyro's commanding energy, passion, poetry and musicality shone through on these albums, the creative core of her catalog.
The vocal trio Labelle—Patti LaBelle, Sarah Dash and Nona Hendryx—accompanied Nyro on her next outing, Gonna Take a Miracle (1971). It was a joyous set of R&B, soul and girl-group remakes that harked back to her teenage love of a cappella. The album was produced by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, masterminds of the Philly Soul sound, and endures as a classic piece of urban-soul homage. Nyro then went five years without making a record. (More Than a New Discovery was subsequently re-issued by Columbia with a revised running order as The First Songs in 1973.)
During the second stage of her career, which resumed in the mid-Seventies, the fervid outpouring of her early years gave way to a more contemplative, settled and nurturing spirit. "I'm not a prolific writer now," she told Rolling Stone in 1976. "I still feel the same feelings as a composer, but I feel them at a slower rhythm."
There was a brief flurry of releases in the late Seventies: Smile (1976); Season of Lights…Laura Nyro in Concert (1977) and Nested (1978). But then new work came much less frequently. Mother's Spiritual (1984) was a highly original and heartfelt album that explored such themes as human rights, environmental awareness and universal love. She dedicated the album "to the trees" and the accompanying tour to the animal rights movement. A live album drawn from the tour, Laura—Live at the Bottom Line, appeared in 1989 after another half-decade of silence.
There was no more new work in the Eighties and only one more album of original songs, Walk the Dog and Light the Light (1993), was issued in her lifetime. Nyro died of ovarian cancer in 1997 at the age of 49. Shortly before her death, she compiled a double-disc career overview, Stoned Soul Picnic: The Best of Laura Nyro, for Columbia/Legacy. Four years after her death, an album of her final recordings, Angel in the Dark, was released.
Nyro was a songwriter's songwriter who lit the way for others. Her memorable songs and trailblazing style have empowered such radically original female artists as Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Suzanne Vega, Jane Siberry, Rickie Lee Jones and many others. Todd Rundgren was a disciple, admitting that he changed his songwriting style after hearing Nyro. Elton John, speaking on Elvis Costello's interview show Spectacle, confessed that he "idolized" Nyro: "The soul, the passion, just the out-and-out audacity of the way her rhythmic and melodic changes came was like nothing I'd heard before."
After Nyro's death, David Geffen remembered her as "a consummate artist...a poet for past and future generations."
Inductee: Laura Nyro (vocals, piano; born October 18, 1947, died April 8, 1997)

The sultry summer days have arrived! The persistent uneasiness and discomfort caused by the hot summers are annoying and intolerable at the same time. On a scorching summer day, there is nothing like waving a magic wand and transforming the warm air into icy cool air! This magic is only possible by bringing home a great air conditioner to keep the surroundings cool and comforting. Paytm Mall hosts an exhaustive range of air conditioners from top brands at an incredible price range to suit all pocket sizes. Buy AC online on the basis of energy star rating, features, capacity, installation types as per your requirement and dump heat to enjoy the hot summer months.

If you are on a lookout to get the best air conditioner for your home, it is of utmost importance for you to know what your options are. The air conditioner that you are going to buy will depend on a number of factors such as the size of the room, frequency of use, whether it is permanent or temporary, insulation of the walls, ceilings & floor and more. The most common type of air conditioner that you can buy online include the following:
Split air conditioners consist of two parts- outdoor and indoor units. The outdoor unit is installed outside the room and comprises of compressor, condenser cooling fan, condenser and expansion valve. The indoor unit sits inside the room and comprises of evaporator & cooling coil. These type of air conditioners are best known for their easy installation, silent operation, simple maintenance and long term savings.
These are the most common types of air conditioning system found in the residential settings. It is the most basic model of air conditioners that are mounted on windows or walls. All the components including compressor, condenser, expansion valve, evaporator and cooling coil are enclosed in a single unit that can be easily installed in the window of a room. Window air conditioners come with swivel directional vents, thermostat, different filter types, variable fan speeds and dehumidification functions and much more. This type of air conditioning unit is budget-friendly, compact in size and low on maintenance.
Unlike split and window air conditioners, this type of air cooling systems offer mobility & are mostly intended for homes where window AC installation is restricted. These are an ideal cooling solution for homes with smaller space. Portable AC's do not require any kind of permanent installation and are equipped with caster wheels for easy movability and are relatively light in weight. These are loaded with features such as Anti-Bacterial Filter, 4- Direction Air swing, Large Screen LED Display, 24 hour Timer, Direct Wash Filter, Water Auto- Evaporated, Anti-Drip Technology and advanced models are mostly 3-IN-1 appliance (Air-conditioner/De-Humidifier/Fan).

|Room Size
|AC Capacity
|Up to 100 sq.ft
|0.8 Ton
|Up to 150 sq.ft
|1.0 Ton
|Up to 250 sq.ft
|1.5 Ton
|Up to 400 sq.ft
|2.0 Ton
Room size plays a major role in deciding on what tonnage of AC you need to buy. If you get a bigger sized AC for your room, proper dehumidification is not possible and if you happen to get your room a smaller sized AC, then it may cost your electricity bill to shoot up.
Another major important factor you need to take into account when looking for an air conditioner is the energy star rating. Higher the energy star ratings of an AC, lesser the power it will consume. We have different energy star rated air conditioners at the portal to match different lifestyle needs. If you have to run the AC for a fewer number of hours, then a 3-star AC will be fine and if your AC usage is more than 8 hours, then a 5-star rated AC is good enough.
After toiling hard in the office, one deserves a pleasant sleep to relax body & mind. In hot summers, opening the windows or slipping into breezy cotton clothes wouldn't help much.
