exactly...the question is not whether any of them can be very good - the question is when is the last time all 3 were at the same time?
I've been telling fellow posters for 5 years that we need to stop hoping for 3 guys to all get in sinc at the same time. If we got a 4th top of rotation type starter, then the odds that 2 or 3 do great is much improved.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs acquire LHP Matt Reynolds from Colorado
The Arizona Diamondbacks swung a deal Tuesday, acquiring left-handed reliever Matt Reynolds from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for third baseman Ryan Wheeler.
The 28-year-old Reynolds pitched in 71 games for the Rockies in 2012, posting a 3-1 record and 4.40 ERA in 57.1 innings. He struck out 51 and walked 17. Reynolds has appeared in 144 games over the last two years, the third-most in baseball among lefties.
"We are excited to add a versatile and experienced left-handed reliever to the bullpen," Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said in a statement. "He's very familiar with our division and has been a workhorse for the last couple seasons, so we expect he can continue to do that for us."
Wheeler, 24, broke into the big leagues in 2012, appearing in 50 games for the Diamondbacks, hitting .239 with one home run and driving in 10 runs. Wheeler excelled at Triple-A Reno before his call-up, hitting .351 with 15 homers and 90 RBI.

The internet 2.0, a virtual new world.
Imagine if you will, taking our current planet, and Digitizing it, uploading it as the Internet 2.0.
We use the internet today and think it's the most advanced thing we have ever used. Yet in 100 years, the internet will look drastically different, I think it's going to be visual like our world around us is. Allowing for more easily accessible features to become even more second nature. Think walking around your neighborhood for a stroll. Now imagine opening up a web browser and walking around the internet, starting at your home, go out in your virtual yard and see and interact with those around you. Or maybe even just teleport to another location miles away in milliseconds, and play a game with someone across the world visually. We do this already but not in the same context, you'll see them as if they were actually there and most likely with all sensations intact. With this level of native sensations we'd be more free to express ourselves as we would without knowing much computer jargon or programming. We'd be able to take ideas and mold them into more fruitful apparitions, instead of throwing it on the back burner while we learn what we need to go further with a concept.
We'd have our own Location derived IP addresses based on personal and geographical input but more so over we'd have our own virtual real estate to do as we see fit, opening up a new realm of marketing and economics. Yes we already have internet economics now, but not on this scale, Advertising would become more relevant, being location based empowering the small business owner. Buying and selling of products both virtual and physical ( though I think in the future we wont buy items we will buy BPOs ( Blueprint Orders ).
At the same time security could be more focused and traceable. Our actions and processes would be more related to our location in the internet, allowing for easier sensing of trouble and potential issues before they happen.
Games and learning more rewarding.

Apr 26 2013: Great points,
1st point - I think real life Identities should be used, like the Wii Mii's representations of your actual self just digitized, the IP address is a little like a Telephone number mixed with a IP address. Users / friends can teleport to you location based on few other factors of course, or leave messages, sites, pics the works.
2nd point - being that these virtual identities are closely related to your actual physical self, via a unique number, you could go as far as to link credit, and a bank account to your self ip thus allowing for easy transfer of funds. If you have 500 in real life, you have 500 in virtual life.
Final point - Our biggest hurdle to innovations like these, are people like myself thinking them up, have to formulate such a ginormous structure of a plan including so many different elements that have to work out exactly as we think to allow for others in a wild effort to construct a business that can produce said innovation. When companies with the resources are paying people to think like me and others. What do you see wrong with that? *laughs*

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Aroldis Chapman was one of baseball's best closers in his first try at it, helping the Cincinnati Reds win the NL Central.
He's getting a chance to win a spot in the rotation this spring, but manager Dusty Baker is keeping an open mind about moving Chapman back to the bullpen in an emergency.
The hard-throwing lefty saved 38 games last season in his first experience as a closer. He was getting ready to be a starter during spring training last year when closer Ryan Madson got hurt, forcing Baker to scramble. He eased Chapman into a setup role, then promoted him to closer as he continued to pitch well.
General manager Walt Jocketty would like to have a left-hander in the rotation.

The Affordable Care Act requires each not-for-profit hospital to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) at least once every three years to retain its tax exempt status. CHOP's individualized CHNA, conducted in 2012, was prepared by Delaware Valley Healthcare Council (DVHC) and Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC). Through the use of extensive data collection and analysis, CHOP's CHNA identified needs that can be categorized into eight areas of focus, as follows:
Download the 2013 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) report»
After analyzing the results of the CHNA, not-for-profit hospitals are then required by law to develop an Implementation Plan outlining their strategies to meet the identified community needs. CHOP's CHNA was conducted in the five-county region of Southeastern Pennsylvania. However, since the Hospital is a freestanding children's hospital with over 50 ambulatory locations, including a pediatric research institute and homecare program, our implementation plan and accompanying strategies expand beyond the service area defined in the CHNA to include Southern New Jersey.

Every traveler knows that learning the local lingo is part of the pleasure of getting to know a new place. But frontside lipslide … backside crooked-grind … kickflip? What language is this?
It's the lingua franca of the skateboarding world, an international language that has permitted 15-year-old Booker Mitchell to take his homemade travel show to Spain, Nicaragua, and the Brazilian Amazon. With the help of his filmmaker mom and the support of his dad, Mitchell scripts and stars in an unconventional Web video series that tracks its gregarious star as he navigates foreign lands by skateboarding and surfing with local kids.
Although she's a documentarian, Brazil-born Tania Cypriano is far from a stage mom. "Ever since he was little, Booker kept journals. Wherever we traveled, I took videos. One day we realized we were documenting the world as a kid experiences it."
"Travel shows for grown-ups have these really excited hosts who talk about museums," says Booker. "Our motto is 'Live Life Outside.'"
—By George W. Stone
National Geographic Traveler: Why is travel important?
Booker Mitchell: Travel expands our world and influences our lives. I am inspired by the people I meet and how they live. For instance, I love sleeping in hammocks even if I am in New York City.
NGT: Can you point to one trip or experience that ignited your curiosity about the world?
BM: I have been traveling since before I can remember and I am really lucky to have parents that take me everywhere, so I owe my first curiosity about traveling to them. But I think that I'm still living my first influential experience, and every trip adds to it.
NGT: Who is your hero and why?
BM: Anybody who can feel comfortable wherever they go without bringing five pieces of luggage with them.
NGT: Do you have a personal motto or mantra that embodies your approach to life and travel?
BM: Live life outside. So many kids spend their days inside playing video games and watching TV. "Booker Travels" shows kids how to get out of the house and experience the world.
NGT: What do you never leave home without when you travel?
BM: A skateboard or surfboard, a still camera, and a notepad.
NGT: Do you have a favorite travel book or film?
BM: The film Sipping Jetstreams by Taylor Steele.
NGT: What was your most surprising food experience on your travels?
BM: Eating a different fish I had never heard of at every meal while I was on a boat in the Amazon River, surrounded by jungle and perfectly still water.
NGT: What is the most beautiful place you've experienced while traveling?
BM: Death Valley, California. I liked the different colors of the desert, the dunes, the salt mines, and the rocks. There was something about the landscape that made me feel like I was the only person on Earth. There was no connection to anyone or anything.
NGT: Name three places that you'd like to visit before you die and why.
BM: Since I am 15, I hope to visit a lot more than three places before I die, but:
Indonesia. The water there is so perfectly blue, the jungle goes all the way to the beach, there are reefs, perfect waves, and good fish. It's basically the Amazon surrounded by ocean.
Australia. It's a massive island with both jungle and desert.
Japan. It's so high tech, with so many crazy things you will never find in the U.S. The major cities there are very good for skating and many people are beginning to surf there, too. Plus, I've heard many crazy stories about the sushi and other exotic foods there; it's definitely a must.
NGT: What's one place you've been to that you think everyone should visit?
BM: Barcelona, because it has the best of urban life—amazing food, incredible architecture, and a beach.
NGT: What's next?
BM: Not sure yet but definitely some place that will warm me up during the cold New York winter.

Written by Leslie Lube
SU may soon offer students a medium through which they can do such things as share music, express their political views or listen to the morning news. Students Kaitlyn Dennis and Alex Rutledge are working with Student Activities Coordinator Jason Chapman to launch a school radio station.
"I know a lot of people have said they wish SU had a radio station, and they were disappointed when they found out that we don't," Dennis said.
She believes that a school-affiliated station would provide another method by which students can interact with each other on campus.
According to Dennis, the project is "still in the primary stage of planning," and there is a lot of work to do if the station is going to get on the air. Chapman has been doing research to see what is "financially feasible," for the project at this time, and they have decided that it will probably start out as an internet radio station.
They want to work with a website called Live365, which is helpful for a fledgling station because it handles matters such as royalties to give the stations a reduced price. However, the station will still cost over one hundred dollars a month, so finding financial backing is crucial.
The group of students creating the station will have to form an official organization in order to receive funding from the school. This would include drafting a constitution and electing officers. They are also looking for a permanent place to meet. After they are recognized as a school organization they will be eligible to receive a certain amount of money from the school, but this will not cover all of the costs.
In an effort to seek further funding, Dennis said, "I'm working on a King Creativity proposal to get money for basic funding." Money from this grant could be used for equipment and the beginnings of a music library.
Because of the amount of work that still needs to be done, Dennis said, "the station will probably go on the air, at the very earliest, at the end of this semester, or, more likely, at the beginning of next semester."
In the meantime, the group is actively seeking new members to help and to share ideas. One of the things that they want to do is to use a portion of the station's airtime to "showcase SU artists." There are several solo artists and groups on campus whose music could be shared on a school station.
Also, Dennis points out "most of the recitals and ensembles are recorded so we could play some of those, too." Another idea she mentioned was to offer airtime to professors who do internet pod casts so that they have the opportunity to share their work with students.
So far, student support for the project has been positive. Students are excited about the idea of a school station and are willing to participate in the work it is going to take to get it going. Sophomore Jake Wilson, who attended the interest meeting, said, "I want to have a show where I answer questions about everything, but it's going to be a pretty involved project. It's a shame the FCC takes so long to approve new stations."
Senior Sarah Salinas said, "I think that would be really great to have our own station because it could feature music that the students are playing."
Dennis worked for the Texas Tech radio station, KTXT, this past summer, and she gained some valuable experience as a DJ. She said, "I enjoyed [the station] so much at Tech that I wanted to make one here. I think that a lot of students will want to be on it."
Students interested in participating in the project can contact Kaitlyn Dennis.

For the price it has really good visibility but the optics are less than optimal.
outstanding / works better than i thought it would.
great night vision goggles. Never used night vision before but had to try it. WOW they are incredible
nice set of night vision goggles. easy to operate and a good overall set. the head set is a little bit flimsy and could be bigger also
Another great product for night time activities. I had purchased another YUKON product bake in the late summer at a booth at a State Fair and was very impressed with it. In fact, my Daughter, who is an part owner in a Private Investigating Firm, purchased a utin at the fair also for her business. It has worked out great from them in their business and also great for one of the partners that does alot of hunting also. Can't say enough about the YUKON products that I own.

|Taraxacum officinale [1]
F. H. Wigg.
Taraxacum /təˈræksəkʉm/ is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They are native to Eurasia and North and South America, and two species, T. officinale and T. erythrospermum, are found as weeds worldwide.[2] Both species are edible in their entirety.[3] The common name dandelion (/ˈdændɨlaɪ.ən/ DAN-di-ly-ən, from French dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth") is given to members of the genus, and like other members of the Asteraceae family, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.[4]
The species of Taraxacum are tap-rooted biennial or perennial herbaceous plants, native to temperate areas of the Old and New Worlds.[clarification needed]
The leaves are 5–25 cm long or longer, simple and basal, entire or lobed, forming a rosette above the central taproot. The flower heads are yellow to orange coloured, and are open in the daytime but closed at night. The heads are borne singly on a hollow stem (scape) that rises 1–10 cm or more[2] above the leaves and exudes a milky latex when broken. A rosette may produce several flowering stems at a time. The flower heads are 2–5 cm in diameter and consist entirely of ray florets. The flower heads mature into spherical seed heads called "blowballs"[5] or "clocks" (in both British and American English)[6][7][8][9] containing many single-seeded fruits called achenes. Each achene is attached to a pappus of fine hairs, which enable wind-aided dispersal over long distances.
The flower head is surrounded by bracts (sometimes mistakenly called sepals) in two series. The inner bracts are erect until the seeds mature, then flex downward to allow the seeds to disperse; the outer bracts are always reflexed downward. Some species drop the "parachute" from the achenes; the hair-like parachutes are called pappus, and they are modified sepals. Between the pappus and the achene, there is a stalk called a beak, which elongates as the fruit matures. The beak breaks off from the achene quite easily, separating the seed from the parachute.
A number of species of Taraxacum are seed dispersed ruderals that rapidly colonize disturbed soil, especially the common dandelion (T. officinale), which has been introduced over much of the temperate world. After flowering is finished, the dandelion flower head dries out for a day or two. The dried petals and stamens drop off, the bracts reflex (curve backwards), and the parachute ball opens into a full sphere.
Many similar plants in the Asteraceae family with yellow flowers are sometimes known as "false dandelions". Dandelions are very similar to catsears (Hypochaeris). Both plants carry similar flowers, which form into windborne seeds. However, dandelion flowers are borne singly on unbranched, hairless and leafless, hollow stems, while catsear flowering stems are branched, solid and carry bracts. Both plants have a basal rosette of leaves and a central taproot. However, the leaves of dandelions are smooth or glabrous, whereas those of catsears are coarsely hairy.
Other plants with superficially similar flowers include hawkweeds (Hieracium) and hawksbeards (Crepis). These are readily distinguished by branched flowering stems, which are usually hairy and bear leaves.
The genus is taxonomically complex, with some botanists dividing the group into about 34 macrospecies, and about 2000 microspecies;[10] approximately 235 apomictic and polyploid microspecies have been recorded in Great Britain and Ireland.[11] Some botanists take a much narrower view and only accept a total of about 60 species.[10]
Dandelions are thought to have evolved about thirty million years ago in Eurasia.[16] They have been used by humans for food and as a herb for much of recorded history.[17]
The Latin name Taraxacum originates in medieval Persian writings on pharmacy. The Persian scientist Al-Razi around 900 (A.D.) wrote "the tarashaquq is like chicory". The Persian scientist and philosopher Ibn Sīnā around 1000 (A.D.) wrote a book chapter on Taraxacum. Gerard of Cremona, in translating Arabic to Latin around 1170, spelled it tarasacon.[18]
The English name, dandelion, is a corruption of the French dent de lion[19] meaning "lion's tooth", referring to the coarsely toothed leaves. The plant is also known as blowball, cankerwort, doon-head-clock, witch's gowan, milk witch, lion's-tooth, yellow-gowan, Irish daisy, monks-head, priest's-crown and puff-ball;[20] other common names include faceclock, pee-a-bed, wet-a-bed,[21] swine's snout,[22] white endive, and wild endive.[23]
The name "dandelion" is a cognate of the names in many other European languages, such as the Welsh dant y llew, Italian dente di leone, Catalan dent de lleó, Spanish diente de león, Portuguese dente-de-leão, Norwegian Løvetann, Danish Løvetand and German Löwenzahn. The colloquial German word Pusteblume (blow-flower) refers to the children's game of blowing away the seeds of the ripe taraxacum flower.
In modern French, the plant is named pissenlit (or vernacular pisse au lit).[citation needed] Likewise, "piss-a-bed" is an English folk-name for this plant,[24] as are piscialletto in Italian, mexanacama (derived into the more usual mexacán) in Galician, pixallits in Catalan and meacamas in Spanish.[citation needed] These names refer to the strong diuretic effect of the plant's roots,[24] either roasted or raw. In various north-eastern Italian dialects, the plant is known as pisacan ("dog pisses"), because they are found at the side of pavements.[25]
In France, it is also known as laitue de chien (dog's lettuce), salade de taupe (mole's salad), florin d'or (golden florin); cochet (cockerel); fausse chicorée (false chicory); couronne de moine (monk's crown); baraban.[citation needed]
In several European languages, the plant, or at least its parachute ball stage, is named after the popular children's pastime of blowing the parachutes off the stalk: Pusteblume (German for "blowing flower"), soffione (Italian for "blowing", in some northern Italian dialects),[25] dmuchawiec (Polish, derived from the verb "blow"), одуванчик (Russian, derived from the verb "blow").[citation needed]
In other languages, the plant is named after the white latex found in its stem, e.g., mlecz (derived from the Polish word for "milk"), mælkebøtte (Danish for "milk pot"), kutyatej (Hungarian for "dog milk") and leitaruga in Galician (from leite, "milk", used also for the lettuce). The Lithuanian name kiaulpienė can be translated as "sow milk".[citation needed] Similarly, in Latvian it is called pienene, derived from piens ('milk'), as in Catalan is used lletsó (derived from the word llet that means "milk").[citation needed]
The alternative Hungarian name gyermekláncfű ("child's chain grass") refers to the habit of children to pick dandelions, remove the flowers, and make links out of the stems by "plugging" the narrow top end of the stem into the wider bottom end.[citation needed]
In Bulgarian and Macedonian, its name (respectively глухарче and глуварче) is derived from the word for 'deaf' (глух, глув), because of a traditional belief that dandelion parachutes can cause deafness.
In Turkish, the dandelion is called karahindiba meaning "black endive or chicory".[26] While the root flesh is white, the outer skin of the root is dark brown or black.
In Swedish, it is called maskros ('worm rose') after the small insects (thrips) usually present in the flowers.[27]
In Finnish and Estonian, it is called voikukka and võilill, respectively, meaning "butter flower", referring to its buttery colour.[citation needed] , and маслачак in Serbian (from маслац meaning "butter")[citation needed]. Similarly, in Croatian, the name of this plant (maslačak) is derived from the noun maslac, meaning butter.[28]
In Dutch, it is called paardenbloem, meaning "horse-flower".
In Chinese, it is called pú gōng yīng (蒲公英).
In Persian, it is called qasedak (قاصدک), meaning the "small postman", because of a belief that it brings good news.
In Portuguese, it is called dente-de-leão, also meaning "lion's tooth". Portuguese children also call them "o teu pai é careca" (your dad is bald) due to a game which consisted on blowing on a dandelion. If it was left with no seeds, that would mean the other kid's dad was bald.
In Greek, its seed (and most often the plant itself) is called a kleftis (κλέφτης) meaning "thief" because it is very difficult to catch once airborne.
In Cyprus, the plant is called a pappous (παππούς) meaning "grandfather" due to the white-coloured seed head resembling the white hair of an older man.
In Romanian it is generally called păpădie[clarification needed].
In Albanian it is called përkalidhe, prakalidhe, as well as luleshurdha (meaning "deaf plant"), radhiqe / luleradhiqe (from a misconception due to its resemblance to chicory leaf, see radicchio), as well as lakra or lakra të egra (translated as "wild lakra"), a name which generalizes a family of similar green leaf vegetables including as well sorrel, chicory, catsear, scarole, and other local indigenous plants.
In Slovene language it is called regrat, regrad and similar variants with no other obvious meanings. Some linguists hold this to be a corruption of the German Rohrleinkraut - herb with small tubes.
Dandelions are found on all continents and have been gathered for food since prehistory, but the varieties cultivated for consumption are mainly native to Eurasia. A perennial plant, its leaves will grow back if the taproot is left intact. To make leaves more palatable, they are often blanched to remove bitterness.[17] or sauteed in the same way as spinach.[4] Dandelion leaves and buds have been a part of traditional Sephardic, Chinese, and Korean cuisine. In Crete, Greece, the leaves of a variety called Mari (Μαρί), Mariaki (Μαριάκι) or Koproradiko (Κοπροράδικο) are eaten by locals, either raw or boiled, in salads. Taraxacum megalorhizon, a species endemic to Crete, is eaten in the same way; it is found only at high altitudes (1000 to 1600 m.) and in fallow sites, and is called pentaramia (πενταράμια) or agrioradiko (αγριοράδικο).[29]
The flower petals, along with other ingredients, usually including citrus, are used to make dandelion wine. The ground, roasted roots can be used as a caffeine-free dandelion coffee.[30] Dandelion was also traditionally used to make the traditional British soft drink dandelion and burdock, and is one of the ingredients of root beer. Also, dandelions were once delicacies eaten by the Victorian gentry, mostly in salads and sandwiches.
Dandelion leaves contain abundant vitamins and minerals, especially vitamins A, C and K, and are good sources of calcium, potassium, iron and manganese.[31]
Historically, dandelion was prized for a variety of medicinal properties, and it contains a wide number of pharmacologically active compounds.[32] Dandelion is used as a herbal remedy in Europe, North America and China.[32] It has been used in herbal medicine to treat infections, bile and liver problems,[32] and as a diuretic.[32]
Taraxacum seeds are an important food source for certain birds.[33]
Dandelions are also important plants for northern hemisphere bees, providing an important source of nectar and pollen early in the season.[34] Dandelions are used as food plants by the larvae of some species of Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). See List of Lepidoptera that feed on dandelions. They are also used as a source of nectar by the pearl-bordered fritillary (Boloria euphrosyne), one of the earliest emerging butterflies in the spring.
The dandelion plant is a beneficial weed, with a wide range of uses, and is even a good companion plant for gardening. Its taproot will bring up nutrients for shallower-rooting plants, and add minerals and nitrogen to soil. It is also known to attract pollinating insects and release ethylene gas which helps fruit to ripen.[35]
Four dandelion flowers are the emblem of White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.[36] The citizens celebrate spring with an annual Dandelion Festival.
The dandelion is the official flower of the University of Rochester and "Dandelion Yellow" is one of the school's official colors. The Dandelion Yellow is an official University of Rochester song.[37]
Dandelion pollen may cause allergic reactions when eaten, or adverse skin reactions in sensitive individuals. Contact dermatitis after handling has also been reported, probably from the latex in the stems and leaves.[38] Due to its high potassium level, dandelion can also increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.[39] The consumption of dandelion leaves has also been implicated in occurrences of fasciolosis.[40]
The species Taraxacum officinale is listed as a noxious weed in some jurisdictions,[41] and is considered to be a nuisance in residential and recreational lawns in North America.[42] It is also an important weed in agriculture and causes significant economic damage because of its infestation in many crops worldwide.[41]
Dandelions secrete latex when the tissues are cut or broken. The latex exhibited the same quality as the natural rubber from rubber trees.[citation needed] Yet in the wild types of dandelion, the latex content is low and varies greatly. By inhibiting one key enzyme[citation needed] and using modern cultivation methods[citation needed] and optimization techniques[citation needed], scientists in the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology (IME) in Germany developed a cultivar that is suitable for commercial production of natural rubber.[43] In collaboration with Continental Tires, IME is building a pilot facility. The first prototype test tires made with blends from dandelion-rubber are scheduled to be tested on public roads over the next few years. [44]

Sometimes when big traditional companies announce good news about ways they're going to reduce waste, the question arises of shouldn't they have done this earlier? That's what I wonder with General Motor Corp. announcement today that within a year and http://www.pneumapaniagua.es/levitra-label a half, 50% of their facilities will be recycling virtually all of their waste.
GM says by the effect of levitra on women end of 2010, half of buy tramadol cheap its major global manufacturing operations will be land-fill free. The facilities plan to achieve that landfill-free status when all production waste or garbage is recycled or reused. So far, the company says 33 of its operations recently reached that status for a total of 43.
At the landfill-free plants, more than 96% of waste materials are recycled or reused and 3% of that is converted to energy at waste-to-energy plants.
Doing good will help the company's bottom line. In a statement, GM says as a result of its global recycling efforts, recycled metal scraps are approaching $1 billion in annual revenue. In North America alone, selling off its recycled cardboard, wood, oil, plastic and other materials added $16 million in revenue.
This on top of playing around with solar, getting rid of truck and SUV plants, and investing in ethanol technologies among many other eco-friendly moves, shows that GM has sustainability in mind, at least when it comes to sustaining their business, which works just fine for us.
GM has about 160 manufacturing facilities worldwide, including joint ventures. It plans to make 80 of them landfill-free.

They would have had there been any money in it. Up until the last couple of years it has been cheaper to levitra from mexico toss a lot of theglobalobservatory.org the waste then spend the time and money to try in recycle. Not only is energy and getter more expense but as landfills get fuller dumping costs are going up as well. So it has gotten to a point where the ROI has made so that going landfill free improves the bottom line. The simple fact is generic viagra without prescription that most big business in the http://www.worcestercountybar.org/best-price-cialis US today don't do anything unless it has an impact on the bottom line.

@TheGeek: I heard about GM reducing it's waste stream more than ten years ago (car radio packaging), so while you're right about most companies, this may be different.
Isn't this good news overall though? My major disappointment with GM has been that they make sucky cars. Shouldn't an american company be making the best cars in the world?

Antibiotics for Lyme Disease
How It Works
These drugs kill Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, which cause Lyme disease.
Why It Is Used
Antibiotics are used to cure early Lyme disease and to greatly reduce the risk of future complications. Antibiotics may also be used in the later stages of Lyme disease, when additional symptoms involving the skin, joints, nervous system, or heart may develop.
The type of antibiotic prescribed depends on your age, symptoms, and stage of Lyme disease. These medicines may be taken orally, as an injection, or through a vein (intravenous, or IV). The length of antibiotic treatment varies according to how bad the disease and your symptoms are, but treatment generally lasts less than 4 weeks.
Early Lyme disease
Later stages of Lyme disease
Pregnant or nursing women
How Well It Works
Antibiotics are most effective in helping cure Lyme disease when they are taken early in the course of the disease.1 Early treatment with antibiotics can help prevent future problems with arthritis, the heart, or the nervous system. But symptoms may not go away right away. Some symptoms may last for several weeks after treatment. This does not mean that the antibiotics were not successful, nor does it mean that you need additional antibiotic treatment.
Antibiotic treatment for early symptoms of chronic Lyme arthritis is usually very effective. Joints that have been badly damaged by Lyme arthritis may take a long time to get better after the infection has been cured, or they may not respond to treatment at all. A small percentage of people in the United States continue to have symptoms of chronic Lyme arthritis after treatment with antibiotics.2
Heart symptoms often begin to go away before antibiotics are given. If not, they usually respond to antibiotic therapy within days. Mild heart symptoms that may occur with early Lyme disease usually improve after treatment with oral amoxicillin or doxycycline for 21 to 30 days.
Symptoms of inflammation of the membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord (Lyme meningitis) begin to improve by the second day of therapy and usually disappear after 7 to 10 days.
Side Effects
Common side effects of these antibiotics include:
Some people treated for early Lyme disease have brief episodes of headache, muscle and joint pain, and fatigue that may continue for an extended period of time after treatment. These symptoms usually go away on their own within 6 months and do not require further treatment.
During the first 24 hours of antibiotic therapy, you may have a higher fever, redder rash, or greater pain. This is not an allergic reaction to the drug. It may mean that the bacteria are rapidly dying.
One large study suggests that people who take erythromycin along with certain common medicines may raise their risk of sudden cardiac death.3 The study showed that the risk of sudden cardiac death is greater when erythromycin is taken with some medicines that inhibit certain liver enzymes—such as certain calcium channel blockers, certain antifungal medicines, and some antidepressants—than when these medicines are not taken together.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
The dosage of antibiotic given and the duration of treatment should be based on your age and body weight, how bad the illness is, and how you respond to treatment.
Doxycycline should be taken with plenty of fluids and not while you are lying down or right before bedtime.
If you get intravenous (IV) antibiotics, you may have weekly blood tests to check your white blood cell count. The IV antibiotic treatment may lead to low levels of white blood cells (called leukopenia) that can make it hard for you to fight infection.
With the exception of pregnant women and people with severe arthritis or heart problems, most people who have been exposed to ticks but do not have symptoms are not given antibiotics. Even in parts of the country where Lyme disease is known to occur often, the risk of getting Lyme disease is too small to warrant treatment before symptoms appear.
Doxycycline is the drug of choice for treating early Lyme disease in people ages 8 and older. But it should not be given to pregnant women or to people who are allergic to tetracycline.

No. 17/18 Xavier versus Dayton Game Quotes
March 6, 2009
Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
Dayton Head Coach Brian Gregory
"The last three minutes we took quick shots, bad shots, and they came down and made shots on the other end. They played well. It would be great if we got to play again."
"Both teams are too good defensively to think that you're going to get a good shot on the first pass. We didn't play with poise."
Xavier Players
On his 12 rebounds
On Brad Redford
On the pregame talking between the teams
"This game shows the growth of the younger guys. Right now I look at Dante as a junior. He's been to the Elite Eight. He's been to the NCAA Tournament twice. And he came out ready to play in the first two minutes and 20 seconds."
Xavier Head Coach Sean Miller
"I really think Dayton is a good team, and that's why this win is so special. I think they'll represent the conference in a big way from here on in."
"We had six or seven days off, and we worked very hard after the Saint Joseph's game. I'm really proud of C.J. [Anderson] and B.J. [Raymond] to be able to go out like this."
"There was an electric atmosphere tonight on senior night. I don't know if it was our team that fed off the crowd or if the crowd fed off our team's energy. We struggled on offense some tonight, but not just because of us. Dayton's a terrific team."
"There are not two tougher guys or two guys with bigger hearts [than C.J. Anderson and B.J. Raymond]. Think of our great tradition here the last 25 years. There has never been a player who won more games than B.J."

Topic - Easy Austrian Multipitches?
DBoothroyd - on 07 Nov 2013
Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could provide some suggestions for nice, easy multipitch routes in Austria? Any ideas about areas that would be particularly good, or (preferably English) guidebooks that would be useful to check out would be very much appreciated.
My girlfriend and I will be visiting relatives there in Spring, so we'd like to head out to the mountains as well; I've done plenty of multipitch trad and sport, but my girlfriend has only lead climbed indoors, so I'm looking for something in the style of Idwal Slabs/Tryfan (ie VDiff-Severe)or even easy alpine-style routes. Sport is also a possibility, so long as it's long and easy, but not something that can be accomplished in a day.
Many thanks guys!

Community Development Pros Discuss Consumer Finance Policy Change at Cleveland Fed Policy Summit
Nearly 250 community development professionals attended the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland's Sixth Annual Community Development Policy Summit, Consumer Finance: Crossing the Divide, on June 11 and 12.
More than 40 presenters focused on such topics as getting foreclosed properties back into circulation; legislative and regulatory responses to burdensome household debt; innovative financial products and services; asset-building beyond homeownership; and the effectiveness of financial education.
"Our aim in holding the Policy Summit is to convene bankers, policymakers, community development practitioners, and academics for meaningful policy conversations outside of Washington, D.C.," says Ruth Clevenger, vice president and Community Affairs Officer at the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank. "We feel it's important to have such discussions locally, since our summit focuses on issues – such as consumer finance or concentrated poverty – that have a significant impact on the individuals and communities here in our region. Our hope is that these knowledge-sharing forums will help inform policy decisions going forward."
Randall Kroszner, a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, opened the Policy Summit on Wednesday, June 11. His remarks focused on the challenge to policymakers "to strike the right balance – that is, to find ways to empower and protect consumers without diminishing access to credit and hindering future innovation."
For example, "with the increased complexity of mortgage loans and credit cards in recent years, there has been great concern about the need for more effective disclosure and increased consumer protection in these transactions," he said.
He noted specifically the Federal Reserve's proposed amendments to the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act. Expected to be finalized next month, the rules address such concerns as lenders' consideration of the borrower's ability to pay, prepayment penalties, and the impact on consumers when lenders fail to establish escrow accounts for taxes and insurance.
Today's keynote speaker, Kelvin Boston, executive producer and host of PBS's "Moneywise," concluded the event with an inspirational address urging participants to help friends, family, and policymakers to use knowledge, action, and faith to overcome financial fears.
"Each and every one of you is an economic freedom fighter," he said. "Use the current economic situation as a teachable moment to urge policymakers to establish sound economic policy and to make financial education mandatory."

2009 Year-to-date September Results
National Bank of Bahrain today announced its financial results for the nine months ended 30 September 2009. The Bank achieved a net profit of BD 36.95 million (US$ 98.27 million) for the nine months of 2009 compared to BD 35.06 million (US$ 93.24 million) for the nine months of 2008. For the third quarter of 2009, the Bank recorded a Net Profit of BD 11.35 million (US$ 30.19 million) compared to BD 9.49 million (US$ 25.24 million) for the corresponding period of the previous year, an increase of 19.6 %.
Mr. Abdulla Ali Kanoo, the Chairman of the Board, commenting on the financial results stated, "The overall financial performance continues to be strong with a sound financial position, high capital adequacy ratio and healthy liquidity". He thanked the Bank's customers for their continued patronage and the confidence reposed by them in NBB and the Bank's executive management team and the employees for their dedication and efforts in achieving these good results.
Commenting on the Bank's performance, Mr. Abdul Razak A. Hassan Al Qassim, Chief Executive Officer and Director said, "These results reflect our ability to deliver sustained growth to our shareholders and is an improvement over the performance for the same period of last year despite a weak global and regional economic environment. Our core business and income levels have shown remarkable resilience during these difficult times and continue to increase. This notable achievement is a direct outcome of our strategy to achieve balanced growth while maintaining sound risk management policies and conservative business practices."
The growth in the Bank's business and tactical balance sheet management resulted in the net interest income increasing from BD 33.77 million (US$ 89.81 million) for the nine months period in 2008 to BD 37.25 million (US$ 99.07 million) for the nine months period in 2009, an increase of 10.3%. Other income for the current year was BD 18.90 million (US$ 50.27 million) compared to BD 19.71 million (US$ 52.42 million) for the previous year. While Other Income from core business activities continues to show good growth, income from syndications and mutual fund business declined on account of slow down in market activities. For the third quarter of 2009, the Net Interest Income increased by 9.4 % to reach BD 12.11 million (US$ 32.21 million) and Other Income increased by 30.1 % to reach BD 5.58 million (US$ 14.84 million) compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. Due to our continued emphasis on containing costs, Operating expenses increase was restricted to 2.2 % for the nine months of 2009 compared to the corresponding period of the previous year resulting in the Cost to Income Ratio improving from 34.8 % for the previous year to 33.9% for the current year. No major credit deterioration was observed and therefore no impairment provision for loans were made during the period.
Loans and advances stood at BD 1,110.67 million (US$ 2,953.91 million) as at 30th September 2009 compared to BD 1,095.71 million (US$ 2,914.12 million) as at 31st December 2008. Customer deposits stood at BD 1,455.23 million (US$ 3,870.29 million) as at 30th September 2009 compared to BD 1,519.25 million (US$ 4,040.56 million) as at 31st December 2008. The Bank's investment securities portfolio was BD 429.92 million (US$ 1,143.40 million) as at 30th September 2009 compared to BD 399.18 million (US$ 1,061.65 million) as at 30th December 2008.
These results reflected an improved return to the shareholders with an annualised return on average equity of 21.7 % for the nine months of 2009 compared to 18.8 % for the corresponding period of 2008.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Anthony Politi will spend the rest of his life in prison - he was sentenced Thursday after he was convicted of raping and killing a mother of seven children.
"For the offense of aggravated murder a capital offense I will sentence you to life without the possibility of parole," Judge James Shake said.
Politi, a persistent felon, sat motionless and appeared devoid of any remorse during sentencing.
Edwina Adkins was the victim of a brutal rape and murder in January 2012 and her family traveled from Virginia so they could take the stand in the courtroom, speaking powerful words.
"While it pains my heart beyond whatever you could ever imagine. I know God allowed my sister's life to help other women who could be your next victim," the victim's sister, Angela Yancy, said.
"You deprived seven children Cyrstal, Zakkia, Laurie, Brittney, Erika, Ayana and Nicholas of their mother forever," Gloria Lewis, Adkins' mother, said.
Her family said Adkins moved to Louisville to start a new life and receive treatment for drugs. Prosecutors said she somehow fell into a sadistic man's hands. Killed by Politi at the 1600 block of West Kentucky Street.
"This individual will never ever walk among our community," the prosecutor said.
Politi previously pleaded guilty to aggravated murder, which is a capital offense. The victim's family said they can finally begin healing though they feel a terrible void.
"Whenever she entered the room there was joy. She just loved everybody. We miss that because there's a silence there that we can not overcome," Lewis said.
Adkins' family said they will spend Memorial Day placing flowers at her grave in Virginia and praying at her grave.

Hi everyone! I'm Meg Farrar, a graphic designer here at Wayfair, a DIY enthusiast, and writer of my blog Operation Restoration, where my boyfriend and I are attempting to renovate our 100-year-old house on our own (at least the best of our capabilities). We recently experienced something that neither one of us ever thought would happen…be on a national TV show!
We were selected to be filmed for a national (and well known) TV show where they help homeowners complete weekend tasks while giving viewers at home instructions on how they can fix a similar problem on their own. I can't mention our specific issue until the show airs, but it had to do with the structure of the house; something that neither Adam nor I knew how to deal with without professional help. Getting help from a professional was incredibly helpful and being on TV was just a bonus!
Here are some tips we've learned when it comes to bigger scaled DIY projects:
Most important: Know when to bring in the big guns.
We knew that when it came to structure, we could read blogs all day and still wouldn't be comfortable doing this on our own. Bringing in someone who strictly focuses on building houses/framing, for example. When we upgraded our electrical panel, we hit review sites to find an electrician that could handle the job and do it in a timely matter.
Research, research, and research some more.
Once you realize that a job will be over your skill level, do your research. Find individuals or companies that specialize in your project and have them come out so they can see the issue first hand. This also allows you to ask plenty of questions. When we had people come out to take a look at our chimney this spring, only one company actually went up on the roof to look and see if they could see any issues with the chimney on the outside. They got the job.
Compare quotes.
I can't stress this enough. I'd never recommend just using the first company that comes out and gives you a bid. I also wouldn't recommend using the cheapest either. Just because that number might be more appealing to your wallet, the work might not be as great as it should.
What DIY projects are you tackling? Have you brought in professionals to help you out with any of your projects?
- Meg

Here's how RW members rated this race (82 votes).
In full: Hard going in the hot temperature but a very pleasant route and well organised event. I seemed to do the first 1 km very quickly and then the second 1 km very slowly so wasn't convinced by km markers (and then hit the hill) which through timing out somewhat but overall good value and location.Date of review: September 29, 2009
In short: Hot slog up the hill but well organised, fun race, for a good causeDate of review: September 28, 2009
In short: Agree with reviewer below - that hill does get steeper every year!In full: I really like this race; it is local to me, always a great atmosphere, plenty of parking and pleasant surroundings for the family to wait in, as I plod my way around! Also agree that the first 2 km are boring, around the playing fields, I feel I am getting nowhere fast, as I can see the fast runners spreading out way ahead of me. Other than that minor gripe, I'll be back next year. Date of review: September 28, 2009
In short: Well organised. Tough hill could catch out beginners.In full: An unseasonably warm day added to the difficulty. Not a big fan of the first 2Km around the field, but the rest of the course was very pleasant. Watch out for the hill!!!Date of review: September 28, 2009
In short: Nice settingsIn full: First two km very boring as you have to weave around the school's enormous playing fields (quite a few corner cutters I noticed!) but once on the road it all becomes quite pleasant. Hot day and they had 2 water points which was very welcome.Goody bag was a joke but the bananas supplied by Fruit for the Office were a welcome touch.Date of review: September 28, 2009
In short: In full: Great event once again, the hill certainly takes the spring out of your step though. Only issue was with the car parking, for some reason the marshalls directed us straight through to the exit and this seemed to happen to alot of cars in front of us too!Date of review: September 28, 2009
In short: Has that hill got steeper????Date of review: September 27, 2009
In full: Really nice race this. Good atmosphere, great location, and great weather for 2008 & 2009. Mile three is a slog but a fair challenge. Good to see the course was adjusted this year to make it the correct length. Leaving by car towards Watford took a while. Thanks to all the organisers, marshalls, etc.Date of review: September 27, 2009
In short: Very well organised, very hot day for the end of SeptemberIn full: My first 10k race and I was very nervous having found out about the hill after I registered to run. The hill is tough (it starts at around 3.5k and finishes at 5k), but I did run the entire course. It was very hot but the atmosphere at the start/finish was great and the water and banana very welcome. Wasn't expecting the medal so that was an added bonus. Would definitely do again. Date of review: September 27, 2009
In short: Excellent race - hot, hot, hot!!In full: Another well organised Manches 10k with the familiar hill through Moor Park Golf Course catching out the unaware!Great race and excellent weather (if a little too hot!)Date of review: September 27, 2009

The Packers finished the early rising week of training camp today. The last of the 8:20 AM start times was today on Ray Nitschke Field. They made it through the week without any serious incidents, we think. Wisconsin Badger fans may be a little skittish about Jared Abbrederis. He finished Thursday's practice but didn't work today. After practice, Mike McCarthy only said the 5th round wide receiver had a knee injury. When pressed on a follow-up, McCarthy got a bit standoffish and said that's all I know. We'll stay tuned. Another draft pick missed practice, center Corey Linsley suffered a shoulder injury. The status for both at tomorrow night's Family Night practice inside the stadium is up in the air at best.
The team continues the installation phase and today, the offense worked on the 4 minute drill. The last four minutes of a game, playing with the lead and starting an offensive series deep in their own end. Aaron Rodgers looked like he converted a key third down when Brandon Bostick made a catch but Jarrett Bush made a heads up play, forcing a fumble that was recovered by Charles Clay. The defense stopped the second team offense without giving up a first down.
Colt Lyerla finally showed up. The Oregon free agent tight end has been struggling, due in part to not having played since early last season when he quit the Ducks program. He found the end zone twice in red zone periods.
There was a competitive kicking period for only the second time in camp. Mason Crosby tried a pair of 33 yard extra points. (Remember, the NFL is going to experiment with having PAT's snapped from the 15 yard line through the first two weeks of the Pre-Season. The competition committee is worried the try is a bit too automatic). Crosby, who had a nice bounce back season a year ago, made the longer PAT's easily. He then alternated field goal tries from the left and right hashmarks, moving back each attempt. He was good from 36, missed wide right from 40 but finished strong hitting from 43, 45, 50 and 53 yards. Crosby, his holder, punter Tim Masthay and long snapper Brett Goode, all have their jobs locked up for the season. None have any direct competition on the roster. They all look pretty relaxed.
(The "Operation". L-R: Tim Masthay, Mason Crosby, Brett Goode.)
Next on the agenda is the Family Night affair. Used to be a scrimmage. Not anymore. It will look nearly identical to the first six practices of camp. Individual and group drills, a couple of team periods with special teams work mixed in. Fans don't care, the joint is sold out anyway. Come back for a review of the practice under the lights and I'll also size up the depth chart with the first pre-season game fast approaching.
