Bleeding is the loss of blood. Bleeding may be:
- Inside the body (internally)
- Outside the body (externally)
Bleeding may occur:
Inside the body when blood leaks from blood vessels or organs
Outside the body when blood flows through a natural opening (such as the
vagina, mouth, or rectum)
Outside the body when blood moves through a break in the skin
Alternative Names
Blood loss; Open injury bleeding
Get emergency medical help for severe bleeding. This is very important if you think there is internal bleeding. Internal bleeding can very quickly become life threatening. Immediate medical care is needed.
Serious injuries don't cause heavy bleeding. Sometimes, relatively minor injuries can bleed a lot. An example is a scalp wound.
You may bleed a lot if you take blood-thinning medication or have a
The most important step for external bleeding is to apply direct pressure. This will stop most external bleeding.
Always wash your hands before (if possible) and after giving first aid to someone who is bleeding. This helps prevent infection.
Try to use latex gloves when treating someone who is bleeding. Latex gloves should be in every first aid kit. People allergic to latex can use a nonlatex glove. You can catch viral hepatitis if you touch infected blood. HIV can be spread if infected blood gets into an open wound, even a small one.
Although puncture wounds usually don't bleed very much, they carry a high risk of infection. Seek medical care to prevent
Abdominal and chest wounds can be very serious because of the possibility of severe internal bleeding. They may not look very serious, but can result in
- Seek immediate medical care for any abdominal or chest wound.
- If organs are showing through the wound, do not try to push them back into place.
- Cover the injury with a moistened cloth or bandage.
- Apply only very gentle pressure to stop the bleeding.
Blood loss can cause blood to collect under the skin, turning it black and blue (bruised). Apply a cool compress to the area as soon as possible to reduce
Bleeding can be caused by injuries or may be spontaneous. Spontaneous bleeding is most commonly caused by problems with the joints, or gastrointestinal or urogenital tracts.
- Blood coming from an
open wound Bruising
- Shock, which may cause any of the following symptoms:
Confusionor decreasing alertness Clammy skin Dizzinessor light-headednessafter an injury
- Low blood pressure
Paleness(pallor) Rapid pulse, increased heart rate
- Shortness of breath
Symptoms of internal bleeding may also include:
Abdominal painand swelling
- Chest pain
- External bleeding through a natural opening
Blood in the stool(appears black, maroon, or bright red) Blood in the urine(appears red, pink, or tea-colored) Blood in the vomit(looks bright red, or brown like coffee-grounds) Vaginal bleeding(heavier than usual or after menopause)
- Skin color changes that occur several days after an injury (skin may black, blue, purple, yellowish green)
First Aid
First aid is appropriate for external bleeding. If bleeding is severe, or if you think there is internal bleeding or the person is in shock, get emergency help.
- Calm and reassure the person. The sight of blood can be very frightening.
- If the wound affects just the top layers of skin (superficial), wash it with soap and warm water and pat dry. Bleeding from superficial wounds or scrapes is often described as "oozing," because it is slow.
- Lay the person down. This reduces the chances of
faintingby increasing blood flow to the brain. When possible, raise up the part of the body that is bleeding.
- Remove any loose debris or dirt that you can see from a wound.
- Do NOT remove an object such as a knife, stick, or arrow that is stuck in the body. Doing so may cause more damage and bleeding. Place pads and bandages around the object and tape the object in place.
- Put pressure directly on an outer wound with a sterile bandage, clean cloth, or even a piece of clothing. If nothing else is available, use your hand. Direct pressure is best for external bleeding, except for an eye injury.
- Maintain pressure until the bleeding stops. When it has stopped, tightly wrap the wound dressing with adhesive tape or a piece of clean clothing. Place a cold pack over the dressing. Do not peek to see if the bleeding has stopped.
- If bleeding continues and seeps through the material being held on the wound, do not remove it. Simply place another cloth over the first one. Be sure to seek medical attention.
- If the bleeding is severe, get medical help and take steps to prevent shock. Keep the injured body part completely still. Lay the person flat, raise the feet about 12 inches, and cover the person with a coat or blanket. DO NOT move the person if there has been a head, neck, back, or leg injury, as doing so may make the injury worse. Get medical help as soon as possible.
Do Not
- DO NOT apply a tourniquet to control bleeding, except as a last resort. Doing so may cause more harm than good. A tourniquet should be used only in a life-threatening situation and should be applied by an experienced person
- If continuous pressure hasn't stopped the bleeding and bleeding is extremely severe, a tourniquet may be used until medical help arrives or bleeding is controllable.
- It should be applied to the limb between the bleeding site and the heart and tightened so bleeding can be controlled by applying direct pressure over the wound.
- To make a tourniquet, use bandages 2 to 4 inches wide and wrap them around the limb several times. Tie a half or square knot, leaving loose ends long enough to tie another knot. A stick or a stiff rod should be placed between the two knots. Twist the stick until the bandage is tight enough to stop the bleeding and then secure it in place.
- Check the tourniquet every 10 to 15 minutes. If the bleeding becomes controllable, (manageable by applying direct pressure), release the tourniquet.
- DO NOT peek at a wound to see if the bleeding is stopping. The less a wound is disturbed, the more likely it is that you'll be able to control the bleeding
- DO NOT probe a wound or pull out any embedded object from a wound. This will usually cause more bleeding and harm
- DO NOT remove a dressing if it becomes soaked with blood. Instead, add a new one on top
- DO NOT try to clean a large wound. This can cause heavier bleeding
- DO NOT try to clean a wound after you get the bleeding under control. Get medical help
Call immediately for emergency medical assistance if
Seek medical help if:
Bleeding can't be controlled, required the use of a tourniquet, or was caused by a serious injury
- The wound might need stitches
- Gravel or dirt cannot be removed easily with gentle cleaning
- You think there may be internal bleeding or shock
- Signs of infection develop, including increased pain, redness, swelling, yellow or brown fluid,
swollen lymph nodes, fever, or red streaks spreading from the site toward the heart
- The injury was due to an animal or human bite
- The patient has not had a tetanus shot in the last 5-10 years
Use good judgment and keep knives and sharp objects away from small children.
Stay up-to-date on

Of course, Vince McMahon touted this as "the next evolution of sports entertainment," but it smells a lot like a cross between Tough Enough and The Ultimate Fighter to me, which in all reality were previous stages on sports entertainment's evolution chart.
Regardless, I couldn't help but laugh at the notion that the pairing of The Miz and Bryan Danielson-Oops! Daniel Bryan-can be seen as "evolutionary" in any sense of the word. What in the world can Miz teach Danielson about wrestling? While Danielson was setting new standards for mat wrestling around the globe, The Miz was baring his soul on MTV confession cams. Is he going to teach Danielson the WWE "style"? Please!
Granted, The Miz has infinitely more personality and charisma than Danielson, but you can't teach charisma. Yes, The Miz reeled off an excellent promo on Raw a few weeks back, but we're not talking about Ric Flair here. He's The Miz ... and he is good, not AWESEOME!!!
Bryanson Daniels may have "evolved" to a new pay grade by signing with WWE, but Darwin must be rolling over in his grave! I sincerely hope Dyan Branielson gets the security he seeks in WWE, but the jump just feels like a giant leap backward.
Now, I'm not going to bury NXT without having watched an episode, but any scenario in which The Miz is presented as being superior to Bryan Dan-Daniel Bryan-seems flawed. What do you think?

Not necessarily, The Miz, though hard to believe, is an excellent candidate for the role of mentor for Daniel Bryan. Who else but Miz could go from reality star to the only man in the WWE to hold both the United States and Unified Tag Team Titles? It didn't happen overnight for Miz to become the WWE star that he is, it took confidence in his abilities, which will be something that Danielson will have to experience for himself.
As for Danielson's mat wrestling skills being superior to that of The Miz, you would be stating the same case if any number of WWE superstars were fixed into the mentor role.
Major promotions such as WWE and TNA deal on an entertainment level; so despite his god-given talents, it means nothing if Danielson cannot entertain.
WWE and Danielson made the right call of being placed in FCW before progressing further; seeing as McGuinness, and his pointless name change, dropped from the peak of a champion to being shuffled in the mid card deck.
Plus, every wrestler needs to seek the best pay grade, especially with their line of work. If Danielson were a woman, then that would be a whole different set of problems when choosing to come to the WWE. Because someone like Gail Kim, who made women's wrestling a respected division in TNA, is jobbing to supermodels in WWE.
WWE will be looking to make as many stars like Daniel Bryan as possible, to alleviate their lack of star power in the WWE. So let us accept the decision that Bryan Danielson made and hope for the best.

text: Dairy's Social Media Activist January 19, 2010 07:52 AM Tweet Dino Giacomazzi. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Catherine Merlo Farm Journal's Milk Western and Online Editor Email California producer uses Facebook, Twitter and his own Web site. From his dairy in Hanford, Calif., Dino Giacomazzi wields a personal sphere of influence that extends to thousands of people around the world. Through social media like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and his own Web site, Giacomazzi communicates regularly with friends, family and business colleagues. But this fourth-generation dairy producer does more than trade baby pictures and make restaurant recommendations. Giacomazzi uses social networking sites to advocate on issues he believes are critical to dairy's survival. "I am trying to help save my industry," says the 41-year-old Giacomazzi, who milks 950 cows on the dairy his family started in 1893. Among the causes he has espoused: "Save California's Milk Supply," with nearly 4,100 members on Facebook. He created the campaign last year to fight proposed legislation aimed at eliminating California's milk pricing system. Other online causes include Farm2U, developed with California dairy producer Ray Prock, Jr., and connecting farmers and ranchers with answer-seeking consumers; and Support Your Farmers, They Feed You. Giacomazzi also blogs. In October, he used his Web site to vent his displeasure with how Congress appropriated $350 million to the dairy industry. Giacomazzi may be one of the few U.S. dairy producers who fully embrace social media to advance industry issues. But he's just one of millions of people around the world who use online sites to get their news and share their concerns. Facebook alone has 350 million users, about 70% of whom are outside the U.S. Such numbers tell Giacomazzi that social media platforms are the places to be. "People are having online conversations everyday about where their food comes from," he says. "To influence their opinions and buying decisions, we have to be there. Facebook makes it easy for anyone to join the conversation. You don't have to be a computer nerd or a marketer to do it." Giacomazzi knows of some 20 U.S. dairy producers and 200 farmers and ranchers who are using social media for advocacy. They represent "an infinitesimal fraction of the 2 million family farmers" nationwide, he says. "If we got just 1% of them to participate in some way, we would have a huge impact." Giacomazzi doesn't expect every producer to join the online conversation. "But it is a new world where consumers and voters are skeptical of advertising and more likely to take recommendations from peers," he says. "Either we can be the ones to make those recommendations, or we can let the radical vegans and environmentalists do it for us." Back to news

The Royals managed to give up nineteen runs against the Tigers last night, with most of the horror coming from Jimmy Gobble, he of the 11.31 ERA.
It's ridiculous that he gets chance after chance after chance this season simply because he's left-handed.
A friend of mine suggested he should be killed. That seems much too harsh.
How about he drug him, dump him off in Sudan, and frame him for stealing?
No left hand? No problem.
Seriously, Jimmy Gobble's reign of terror must end.
When Tony Pena, Jr. of all people pitches a 1-2-3 ninth inning and strikes out Pudge Rodriguez, it proves that Jimmy Gobble shouldn't be a pitcher on any major league roster.
Of course, that doesn't mean that Pena should be either.
Some people *cough*joeposnanski*cough* are suggesting that Pena be converted. I don't think he should be. At least, not by the Royals.
Sure, he has suddenly blown us away by showing some potential, but it's at a position that would require extensive re-training. I think the fact that this is Tony Pena, Jr. is what is giving fans hard-ons. He's useless otherwise, so fans are excited about turning him into something useful. And I don't disagree that if you swap Gobble and him in the pen, that Pena couldn't manage an 11.31 ERA.
But really, if you want to make that sort of switch, it needs to happen in the minors, and Pena is out of options. I suppose they are probably going to leave him on the roster all season anyway, despite his .152 average, so maybe in the offseason they could give him a crash course in pitching at the major league level, and maybe have him do some more mop up this year, and maybe you've got a chance that he turns out to be a decent reliever in a year or two, and maybe all that hard work and unwillingness to release him was suddenly worth it, and maybe you've got one of the best stories in all of baseball when it's all said and done.
But that's a lot of maybes.
Here is a probably:
Probably, you can very easily sign an already-trained reliever to pitch better than Jimmy Gobble and a converted shortstop combined, and only for a couple million.
Hence, all of that work to convert the guy probably isn't worth it. Not for a reliever. What would be the point? If you're gonna take pity on a guy that sucks and give him every chance in the world, why didn't you try that with Angel Berroa or Scott Pose or any other bottom feeder? Why not train Jimmy Gobble to be a shortstop while we're at it?
It's a hair-brained scheme, something that shouldn't work in real life. So the guy has more raw talent in his arm than in his bat. So what? It sounds like he screwed up and picked the wrong position. It sounds like maybe Tony Pena, Sr. (a catcher of all things) would have been perfect in guiding his son in becoming a good pitcher. But I don't want the Royals to put the time and money and effort into such a change when it would be done out of sheer stubborness to make something out of him, when it would be done just to be a good story, when it would be done just to have another disposable relief pitcher.
If he wants to try that, he should do it on his own, or for another team.
But this is the Royals, and there isn't much reason otherwise to watch them or care about what is going on over the next couple of months, so despite my protests, I see this happening. Not because of the reasons I just mentioned, but because the Royals could sell it as a TV series.
That's right. Pena, Jr.'s switch won't be compelling enough on its own, but combined with several Tony's being converted, ABC might have something.
Watch Shortstop Tony Pena, Jr. become Relief Pitcher Tony Pena, Jr!
Watch Professional Skateboarder Tony Hawk become Professional Skeet Shooter Tony Hawk!
Watch sports journalist Tony Kornheiser become fashion journalist Tony Kornheiser!
Watch Tony Orlando become Dawn!
Watch Tony! Toni! Tone! become Tone! Toni! Tony!
And, of course...
Watch Tony Danza become employed!
I smell a hit.
It would be Pena's first one in quite a while.
Go Royals! You're The Best!

By Skip CleaverPosted Sunday, 12 October, 2014
Back for the third year in Fall River, Massachusetts this event has the running world buzzing. It is another race in the increasingly popular series, the New England Half Marathon Tour 2014. Everyone, it seems, is doing half marathons these days, and here is one for all comers, all paces. It is a moderately challenging course with a few testing hills to make it more inviting and more satisfying when crossing that finish line. It comes with an accompanying 5K for friends and family not ready for 13.1, and it has very good amenities.
Best of all, it benefits famous Battleship Cove with 20% of proceeds and provides discount entry (with registration) for participants into that historic site with historic ships and museums. Three local cross country teams will also benefit, so know that part of your registration fee will go to strengthen the running community and to historic preservation. The local high school cross country and track teams from Durfee High School, Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School, and Bishop Connolly High School will be helping out with water stops and course connections so they get a taste of big time road racing.
Half marathoners will receive custom tech shirts and finisher medals and 5K runners get unique cotton T-shirts. Overall winners and age group winners three deep will receive pint glasses, a nice touch to remember Fall River and this event.
Fall River is easy to get to via Interstate 195 or Route 24, and is only minutes from Providence and under an hour from Boston. However, runners will be coming from all over New England and New York for this celebration of running in the "Spindle City", also known as the "Scholarship City". Now it is also known as the "Half Marathon City". Please visit the race website for details and photos, results, registration, testimonials, directions and parking, course info and maps, awards, and more: http://www.fallriverhalfmarathon.com/
The Yankee Timing Company will be using the "B tag" Chronotrack system (timing chip built into the race bib) so you know the results will be both accurate and immediate. A well supported course promises fast times and runners will be rewarded with fresh fruit and pastries at the end, plus a free beer at host Beacon Light Tavern where the race finishes. It is presented by 3C Race Productions.
The Half Marathon will start at 9:00 a.m. followed by the 5K at 9:30. The races begin and end at BK's Beacon Tavern, 320 Airport Road, Fall River, MA 02720 (FYI, you may want to have more than one beer at this fine tavern). This establishment prides itself on "Great people, great food, and a great atmosphere." Known for its menu as well as live music, you should definitely put the Beacon Light Tavern on your list for lunch or dinner: http://www.bksbeacontavern.com// or 508-675-5044.
"I will definitely be back for the third year and have told my friends they have to do it."
The Course
The course runs through the north end, including the Fall River Industrial Park and Meridian Street. The 5K is a modified lollipop route with a clockwise loop. Both are relatively flat, well marked and supported (including those cross country and track teams cheering at water stops). Fall River's North End lies between North Watuppa Pond and Mt. Hope Bay, the deep water harbor that helped to make Fall River into an industrial power. See the excellent maps on the race website for course maps and directions.
The Half Marathon course starts on Commerce Way opposite the Fire Station and runs around the building opposite the Fire Station. The course turns right and continues to the end of Commerce Way, going counterclockwise around the rotary and returning back Commerce Way onto Airport Road past the starting line all the way to Riggenbach Road. The course turns right on Riggenbach Road, right on Wilson Road, and then left on Meridian Street. The course continues to the turnaround point on Meridian Street just before the Route 24 overpass. The course continues back Meridian Street, Wilson Road, and Riggenbach Road. At the intersection of Riggenbach Road and Airport Road the course continues on Riggenbach Road all the way to the Freetown Route 24 exit where the course turns around and returns to Airport Road. The course turns right on Airport Road, right on Commerce Drive and then right into the Beacon Light Tavern Parking Lot and the triumphant finish line.
Battleship Cove - Discounts
Fall River is famous for its incredible history, and today much of the naval history of the nation is visible in this incredible collection, the centerpiece of which is the USS Massachusetts, the Second World War era ship which was built right on the Massachusetts South Shore at the Quincy/Fore River Shipyard.
The Massachusetts, at 35,000 tons and 680 feet in length, was the largest vessel ever built at Quincy. She was launched just before the US entered World War II on September 23, 1941 and served throughout the war, first in the Atlantic Fleet and then in the Pacific. This ship had nine huge 16-inch guns which fired 2,700 pound projectiles over 20 miles. The USS Massachusetts was the battleship that fired the first of these type guns in the war (off Morocco) and the last such shells at the end of the war. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is also a US National Historic Landmark.
The Battleship Cove collection also includes the USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. (destroyer), the USS Lionfish (submarine), the Hiddensee, a Soviet era East German warship, several PT Boats, and more. Your registration for the race will involve discounts for Battleship Cove; Race Participants get a discount and enter for only $13.00, $8.00 for kids (under six free). The entrance is located at 5 Water Street. Please visit
http://wwwbattleshipcove.com or call 800-533-3194.
The City of Fall River
The city has a long, storied, impressive history. It was named for the falling waters of the Quequechan River, which had over seven different waterfalls as it made its way down through the center of the town to the deep water harbor of Mt. Hope Bay, which connects to Narragansett Bay. Both the harbor and the waterpower of the rivers and ponds made this into a top textile manufacturing center, once second only to Manchester, England in output. Its unique geography and history make it a very interesting location to visit (and run through). Dr. Irvin Fradkin launched Dollars for Scholars here; granite quarried here has been used in famous buildings from Newport Mansions to government buildings, and of course many of the famous mill buildings of the city were constructed using the local stone. From marine history to Lizzie Borden, interesting architecture (including the only City Hall Built directly over an Interstate highway) to diverse cultures, this is a very interesting destination city, and well worth a visit. It is part of the Providence, Rhode Island Metro area and some of the best New England Beaches are close by.
"They have done a great job with this event and who knew Fall River was so interesting and enjoyable."
3C Race Productions
This company produces many races, including the Wolf Hollow Half Marathon and the Monadnock and Black Bear Half Marathons (August 10 and 24 respectively). They are the developers of the New England Half Marathon Tour, which includes such top events as the upcoming Colt State Park Half Marathon (Rhode Island, November 19) and many more. This is a full service professional organization that manages and produces events all over New England and sometimes beyond—over 125 events per year, including road races, trail races, triathlons, biathlons and snow shoe competitions. Founded in 2002, this company has helped provide funds and donations for many non-profits totaling about 1.75 million dollars for a variety of charities.
Please visit their website for information on the race schedule, directions, recent news, opportunities, results, photos, videos and more: http://www.3craceproductions.com/
This is Your Half Marathon
You have been getting ready to do one this fall, so here it is. This is geared to be friendly to first time half marathoners but experienced veterans will enjoy it too. This is definitely one you should do. Fall River is a unique place for many reasons, and there will be lots to see (especially Battleship Cove) before and after the races. http://www.fallriverhalfmarathon.com/
Enjoy the fun at a very different and enjoyable event in a very special and resurgent location. The awards, the raffle and post race festivities with fruit and pastries will be a lot of fun. For additional information you can contact Michael Amarello at 603-429-8879 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Once again, the Beacon Light Tavern is located at 320 Airport Road, Fall River, MA 02720.
Registration is very reasonable but don't delay, you can save money over race day registration. You will want to get one of those custom shirts and mark this unique half marathon in your running log.

Links, 9.13.10Posted: September 13, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Link Love Leave a comment
At long last the Archaeologist's family experienced the first day of school, a mixture of excitement and trauma. Well, mostly trauma, to be honest. The scholars were not about to give up vacation without a fight. They clearly belong to the summer-loving half of our family's gene pool.
I belong to the other half, having been the sort of child who was trying on her school uniform a month before the first day (as my brother screamed, "MOM! Tell her to stop that!").
Here's my Back To School edition of links.
Postmarked: A lovely site called Philatelic Genealogy is compiling images of old postcards, letters and so forth. The material is indexed, and the site welcomes new material as well. h/t to Roxane Moore Saucier, Bangor Daily News.
Cautioned: This genealogy column out of Asheville, N.C. repeats what is becoming well-worn advice not to trust the Internet too far when it comes to genealogical information. However, I do like the author's brave observation that online trees can be a good jumping-off point for fledgling researchers — as long as they don't regurgitate them unthinkingly.
Merging?: In Scotland, three major records repositories have been asked to consider merging. They are the General Register Office for Scotland, National Archives of Scotland and Registers of Scotland. More here from The Herald (Scotland).
Classes, continued: Last week I mentioned the joy of online genealogy classes. Kimberly Powell draws our attention to more online classes at the FamilySearch.org site. And they are free!
Adoption issues: At the MyHeritage blog, they're kicking off a series of posts and exercises aimed at researchers tracing adoptions in the family tree. While I'm not sure I would sign up for MyHeritage just to do this, it might be a nice tutorial for those who already have an account there.
Bloggin' it: At MSNBC's Cosmic Log science blog, an interesting post about DNA and African roots … At GeneaBloggers, a call for new genealogy blogging theme ideas … At Slovak Yankee, Martin Hollick ponders the role of luck, good and bad, in research results, and poses the question: Which "lost" resources would you most wish to have back?
Now it's time to do the three zillion things I couldn't get to during summer vacation time. Off to the races …

In 1965, North Carolina named the Scotch bonnet (Phalium granulaturm) as its official state shell. It was also the first state to designate an official state shell. At least 13 other states subsequently designated state shells.
A Scotch bonnet is a gastropod mollusk that can be found from North Carolina to Brazil in coastal water depths of 50-150 feet. This fragile shell has short spires, large body whorls and thickened outer lips.

There weren't as many AMA motorcycles performers as the Superbike Shootout promoters might have wished for, but there was no questioning the intensity of those on hand for Saturday's qualifying for the SoCal Nationals of the Geico Superbike Shootout.
"I treat every race the same," said Benny Wong, who won the Sportbike pole position, "we're all racing for the win. I just wish there was a little more competition for the event."
Roger Hayden, riding for the Chino-based Yoshimura Suzuki factory team, won the pole for the featured Superbike race by turning a lap of 1:25.632 around the 21-turn, 2.3-mile road course at Auto Club Speedway. Teammates Cameron Beaubler and Joshua Hayes were next on Yamahas, with times of 1:25.982 and 1:25.991, respectively.
Hayden turned in his best lap on 10 of 12 times around, while Beaubler, whose engine created debris on the front straight and ended the session minutes before the scheduled finish, also recorded his best of the 10th of 14 laps. Hayes' best was on the fifth of a dozen laps.
Wong, atop a Triumph, topped his class with a fast lap of 1:28.361 on the last of his 12 laps. Benny Solis was second on the grid on his Yamaha with a lap of 1:28.771, while Jake Zemke, a previous winner at ACS when AMA sanctioned races, was third at 1:29.083.
The event is back at the Fontana track for the first time since 2010.
According to the riders, the biggest winner this weekend is the sport. Rain on Friday night might have impacted the turnout on Saturday, but it's expected Sunday's two pro races — Sportbikes at 1:30 p.m. and Superbikes at 2:30 p.m., sandwiched by amateur events — will attract a bigger crowd.
"All in all, things seemed to go well," said John Ulrich, a former racer and current team owner who promoted the three-race Geico Superbike Shootout, which is not sanctioned by the AMA. "The Superbike count is close to the numbers we've seen at other tracks.
"You have to remember there are a lot of unknowns, so some teams are apprehensive. I think we'll see better numbers next week at Sonoma,"
Ulrich, who publishes Lake Elsinore-based Roadracing World, created the series to give Superbikes exposure in the West. None of the six 2014 AMA series were west of the Mississippi River, but the series will race in Fontana, Sonoma and Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah.
"This market is really important," said Solis, who resides in North Hollywood. "There's no races out West, so my SoCal fans will be here."
With four of the six manufacturers in the sport based in Southern California, Zemke echoed the sentiment.
"The Sportbike market here is the biggest in the United States," said Zemke, from Paso Robles. "It's really important to our sport. We're here to race, and it's really cool to be around the grass roots of the sport."
"I think this is an important market, it's good to get a California round," said Wong, from Stockton. "This is an awesome event."
Eight of the top nine qualifiers in the class are from Southern California. Chad Lewin (Valencia) was fifth, Bryce Prince (Bakersfield) sixth, Jon Roberts (Glendale) seventh, Jason Aguilar (Placencia) eight and Rancho Cucamonga's Ryan Matter ninth.
Hayden said the winds were a bit erratic, a challenge when he hit the first turn off the front straight at speeds approaching 180 mph.
"I'm glad to be back, it's a lot of fun. The track's a bit bumpier than before, but that's probably due to wear and tear," said Hayden. "And I had no idea I was on the pole because I didn't have a pitboard."

Dear world,
My name is Patrick Lyndaker, I am 25. Born catholic, converted to LDS (mormon) around 9 years old then cruised a buffet of religions from my last two years of high school on for about four years till the repeated lack of convincing material brought me to my current non-theistic perspective. I am always in some pursuit of something we might call truth and really like being proven wrong. I'm really stoked about the potential for intelligent conversation with like minded people. However, I am often reserved in conversations with people who have very similar ideas because with out the challenge of opposing opinions you cannot progress much on the road toward truth. Regardless, I am excited to be a part of this online community. See you all in the forums. :)

Watch this, it's a start, branch out from there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZgT1SRcrKE
Welcome. You're just getting started. I'm sure you will have many questions and comments. This is the place to share and learn.
Patrick, i think you're missing the most important thing about being here and/or conversing with like minded individuals. places like AN allow you to flush out ideas more fully. i often have a thought, and if i didn't have a place to share it that thought simply dies out. perhaps it still sticks around in my mind, but in order to explore the thought more deeply you need to discuss it. you could try to discuss it with theists, but you often spend more time debating than you do discussing your idea. also, this place will present alternative viewpoints that are mostly valid and worth adding to your arsenal.
i hope you enjoy your time here, and congrats on your newfound freedom.

Seahawks blogger Brett B points out Sunday the Seattle Seahawks didn't do much to help their own cause. They managed a pathetic 137 yards of offense, had the ball for only 17 minutes, couldn't get open for backup QB Charlie Whitehurst, who was filling in for Tarvaris Jackson, and then there's Charlie. He was horrible. He completed 12 of 30 passes for 97 yards and couldn't get the Seahawks moving at all.

FPC Board approves 2011-12 budget
On Monday the Frank Phillips College Board of Regents approved the proposed 2011-2012 Institutional Budget. It will represent a decrease of $1,190,315 from the 2010-11 year, due to a decrease in State funding and a level tax rate.In the proposed upcoming budget, the college is projected to see a 23.9 % decrease in state appropriations that will amount to a reduction of $646,770.Overall the college is planning for a 9.4% decrease in revenue, giving the college an estimated budget amount of $11,523,316.To adjust to the smaller amount of revenue, the college budget will see drastic cuts in several areas including a 19% cut in travel, 24.7% in debt service, 39.3% in repairs and maintenance, and a 41.6% cut in capital expenditures.The only items to see an increase from 2010-11 are ones such as transportation, insurance, postage and freight, and general expenses, along with a 44% increase in taxes and benefits.During Monday's meeting, the FPC Board of Regents approved the intent to set the tax rate at $.22 per $100 valuation for 2011-2012. This marks the tenth consecutive year the FPC proposed tax rate will remain at the capped $.22 rate. In 2010-11, the college collected $1,895,510 in taxes and is proposing a collection of $1,789,676 for the upcoming year.

MESA, Ariz. – Edwin Jackson got off to a neat, clean start with the Cubs.
Signed as a free agent to a four-year deal worth $52 million, Jackson pitched two scoreless innings Tuesday in his first spring outing as the Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies, 4-2.
"Today's just pretty much an evaluation day for me," he said, "to see where I am with things."
The 29-year-old righty has a multiyear contract for the first time in a major league career that began in 2003. He previously pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tampa Bay, Arizona, the White Sox, St. Louis and Washington.
Jackson, who pitched a no-hitter for Tampa Bay in 2010 and won a World Series title with the Cardinals in 2011, was 10-11 with a 4.03 ERA last year with the NL East champion Nationals.
Jackson gave up a pair of two-out singles in the first inning but retired his final four batters.
"It definitely feels good when you know you have some stability on a team," said the 29-year-old Jackson, who pitched for six teams in five years before signing with the Cubs. "But at the same time, you can't get too complacent to where you let it get you to relax. You still have to have some kind of edge about you when you take the field."
Off the field, Jackson's easy demeanor has made him a quick fit with new teammates.
"He's been great," manager Dale Sveum said. "He's got that personality and work ethic and professionalism. And teammates like him already."
Jackson said he's learned to get comfortable anywhere.
"It's not my first rodeo. I've been around the game. I've been fortunate enough to join loose clubhouses, and this is definitely one of those clubhouses where everybody's having fun but taking care of business at the same time," said Jackson, who's penciled into a top three of the Cubs' rotation that also includes Jeff Samardzija and Matt Garza.
"It definitely makes it easier for you to come in and get acclimated with everything that's going on."
Cubs outfielder Dave Sappelt, in the running for a backup job, homered leading off the sixth. He also singled.
Christian Villanueva added a home run for the Cubs.

"And when they ask us what we're doing, you can say, We're remembering...." (Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451)
Friday, December 14, 2007
In the episodes of Another World currently airing on the AOL/PGP Classic Soaps Channel, Mitch Blake is suing Rachel and Mac Cory for custody of his biological son, Matthew.
What makes this more than just your average soap opera custody battle is that Matthew was conceived because Rachel slept with Mitch to prevent Mitch's girlfriend, Janice, from killing Mac. As Rachel told Mac on a recent episode, the boy only exists because of Rachel's love for Mac. (Has Sami Brady over on DOOL tried this line with Lucas? Because her rape by EJ and conception of little John Roman was pretty similar).
Under the circumstances, does Mitch deserve custody of Matthew? (And we're not even counting the hell he put Rachel through when she was wrongly convicted of his "murder.")
Other soap parents with dubious custody claims have included OLTL's Todd Manning. Sure Margaret raped him to become pregnant with Tommy (bet ATWT's Jack can relate). But Todd did try to kill both her and the baby by choking Margaret while she was carrying his child. Perhaps that makes him a less fit parent than Tommy's adoptive folks Marci and Michael McBain who... didn't.
The one custody dispute that I never got was Denise versus Holden and Lily on As The World Turns. Holden and Lily's real daughter, Faith, was switched at birth with little Hope. The Snyders raised her for almost a year before learning the truth. Though they got Faith back, both felt equally attached to Hope and wanted to keep her. However, Hope's biological mother, Denise, demanded the baby back. Which would have been fine, dandy and justified, if Hope had been kidnapped from Denise in the same manner as Faith had been from Lily and Holden. But Denise sold Hope. Voluntarily. To a nut-case like David Stenbeck. Why exactly did she deserve to get her child back?
I had similar (though less extreme issues) with ATWT's Molly. She claimed she should be allowed to keep her late husband, Jake's, daughters, Bridget and Michelle, because she'd been a mother to them for several months before Jake died, and love was more important than blood. At the same time, Molly was making a claim to keep her biological daughter, Abigail, despite the teen having lived with her adoptive parents for a good fifteen years. Because biology was more important than love? The inconsistency seemed a bit jarring.
Do you have a favorite daytime custody injustice? Let us know in the Comments below!

I don't have an answer to the question, but I do want to say that I enjoy the P&G Classic Soap Channel on AOL very much.
- Annabel said...
I can't get the new episodes on the P&G Classic Soap Channel on AOL to load for me lately. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a solution? I love watching Another World and Search for Tomorrow and it's been frustrating the last several days not being able to watch the new episodes.
- Gabrielle said...
PGP needs to create a classics soaps channel for television and/or make its soaps available for fans to purchase on dvd. The decline of quality programming on ABC's Soapnet, not to mention that network's decision to move further away from genuine soaps, has left a great void for fans of the real thing. Please P&G, consider creating your own cable channel of classic soaps and giving the fans what we've waited so long for----the chance to relive our stories again. We may not be the youngest demographic but we are surely the most loyal!

I'd be happy to answer the question but like annabel I have been unable to view about the last dozen of videos posted, so as not to be 'spoiled' I didn't read the bulk of your blog. There are several comments in the comment section of the videos which state that others are having the same problem. Either the first chapter plays in an unending loop without ever finishing the ep or the episode cannot get passed the initial loading screen. IF I can get caught up on the episodes I'd love to come back and read the blogs and share some more relevant comments!

From Google to FedEx: Less Offshore Holdings? Maybe Not
Apple was in the hot seat this week over their corporate structures in Ireland but they are not the only major U.S. company with offshore subsidiaries. But, following SEC rules, some major companies are disclosing fewer overseas subsidiaries. Jessica Holzer reports on MoneyBeat. Photo: Getty Images.
