It's one of the most popular energy drinks out there – "5 Hour Energy." It's supposed to get you going through the day -- but some claim it is linked to some deaths.
This is not the first time we've heard of an energy drink or shot associated with deaths.
One man we spoke with says the news isn't stopping his habit.
"It's an every morning event."
Brent Farley says he and his wife drink 5 Hour Energy every morning halfway through their Mesa paper route.
"It gives you the added boost you need," he says.
However, published reports say the Food and Drug Administration has received reports of 13 deaths over the last 4 years that cited 5 Hour Energy.
However, the filings don't necessarily mean the product is responsible for a death or even contributed to it.
"We're driving. How many car accidents are there? I'm just drinking a shot that helps get the job done, so no I've never been concerned."
The news comes less than a month after the FDA announced it's looking into reports of 5 deaths that could be linked to Monster Energy drinks.
In a statement, the distributor of 5 Hour Energy says each shot has about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.
They point out the label recommends people drink no more than 2 bottles of the shot a day and spaced several hours apart.
They say they are unaware of any deaths proven to be caused by the energy shot.
"Common sense kind of gets you a long way. If I go drink 5 in the morning, I'm probably going to have a health problem," says Farley.
Farley says the reports aren't stopping him. He plans on taking his 5 Hour Energy again tomorrow.
"We'll take our shot and finish the paper route."
The FDA does not require companies to disclose caffeine levels -- however some lawmakers want to change that.

The 2012 Nissan GT-R is a dedicated sports car, a high-tech weapon for the track, and entirely suitable for winding public roads. But it is not the most practical for day-to-day driving.
The 2015 Juke update, launched at the Geneva auto show, continues and accentuates the car's unique looks, while improving engine and cabin tech.
Pricing not available
The 2010 Nissan GT-R is an outstanding car for the track or sport driving, but its rough ride makes it tough to live with on a daily basis, and the next model year should see significant improvements.
Pricing not available
The 2014 Nissan 370Z Nismo is a fantastic pure sports car, but it makes a number of comfort and tech compromises in the name of speed.
It may be funny-looking, but in Nismo form the 2013 Nissan Juke is one heck of a fun hatchback, with excellent performance technology. Just budget a little more to replace the cabin electronics.
The 2009 Nissan GT-R is a technical tour de force, with evidence of brilliance throughout. We would have a hard time with the GT-R as an everyday driver, but it offers fun and exhilaration at heart-stopping levels.
The R35 Nissan GT-R is a stunning car and nowhere does it look better than on the streets of Tokyo.
The 2013 Nissan Rogue SV surprises with good available safety and infotainment tech and above-average performance.
Where better to take a style-focused GT-R Egoist than around one of Japan's most eclectic cities, Tokyo?
For some, racing means having a race car and a road car. For others, it's a one-car-does-all affair. This GT-R is the former, and then some.

How to Handle… a Night Owl
Three takes on dealing with a baby who won't go down for the night
Of course our babies are delightful, but—let's be honest—maybe not so much at 3 AM. We asked three experts how to get wakeful tots onto the night-sleep bandwagon so that sleepy moms and dads can climb aboard, too.
Jill Spivack, LCSW, co-author of The Sleepeasy Solution: The Exhausted Parents Guide to Getting your Child to Sleep
and founder of Sleepy Planet
"For baby and toddler night owls, slightly adjusting daytime schedules can have a big effect. Be sure that your baby isn't waking up too late in the morning (after 7 or 8 AM), and is taking adequate naps (but not overnapping). Most babies need approximately 11 to 12 hours of sleep at night and somewhere in the range of 2 to 4 hours during the day in the first year, depending on their specific age.
"Also, if you baby isn't napping well and is overtired, this can actually cause more of a fight at bedtime, as his body will become stressed and produce a hormone called cortisol. When it comes to helping your child sleep, cortisol is not your friend. It acts as a stimulant, like adrenaline or caffeine, and can cause your child to become 'wired,' or to appear to get a second wind when it's time for bed."
Dr. Harvey Karp, creator of the best-selling DVDs The Happiest Baby on the Block and The Happiest Toddler on the Block , and author of The Happiest Baby Guide to Great Sleep
"From about 6 months of age (or even a month or two earlier) babies don't want to be alone, and the older the get, the more they like company in the bedroom. They're social, and they'd prefer to be up having fun with mom and dad to being in bed at night. Luckily, there are a couple of things parents can do to help steer little ones toward sound night-time sleep.
"One is to start the bedtime routine about an hour before it's actually time for your tot to be in bed: dim the lights (at least 50 percent) and turn on a low-pitched, rumbly white noise CD (played softly in the background). These changes cue the brain to release melatonin—its natural sleep hormone—which will allow your child to give in to sleep much more easily.
"Second, leave the white noise on throughout the night at about the volume of a running shower. (This also really helps naps!). For babies, these low, rumbly sounds can actually help trigger the calming reflex, but for older infants and toddlers they provide a kind of 'teddy bear of sound.' The familiar, recurring sound helps cover over other sounds in the home, so they can avoid getting distracted and just go back to sleep. An amazing thing about white noise is that it even helps a child ignore the mild annoyance of teething, mild hunger… and having to poop."
Angelique Millette, parent coach, sleep consultant, and infant/toddler sleep researcher
"Very often, sleep issues can develop during a developmental or movement milestone phase. There are eight of these developmental milestones in the first 12 months of life, and another big developmental milestone between 18 and 22 months. The movement milestones include rolling, pushing up to all fours, crawling, pulling to standing (and getting down!) and walking. When babies and toddlers go through these phases, their brains are rapidly 'firing and wiring' new skills, and often they will wake up for an hour, or several hours, in the middle of the night to practice, often in their sleep. The phases last a few nights on up to a week or two, and they will pass, but your baby or toddler may need a little more of your help during these phases."

One of the most rewarding responsibilities
of Palmer's Development and
Financial Planning offices is awarding
scholarships to students. Among
the many scholarships regularly
created through the Development
Office, the College is working to
establish the Military Service Scholarship,
an endowed scholarship for
U.S. veterans.
In addition to the College's efforts,
Palmer alumni are getting involved
with developing new scholarships for
servicemen and women. One such
scholarship, the Miracles for Military
Scholarship for U.S. veterans on any
of the Palmer campuses, was made
possible through the generous
support of Dennis Stierwalt, D.C.,
Davenport '66. Dr. Stierwalt established
the non-profit Miracles for
Military organization a few years ago.

support Palmer's new Military
Service Scholarship, contact Senior

Overall Experience
Warm hotel but the restaurant has an immutable menu...
27 septiembre 2014
We reserved a room with breakfast in this hotel for 2 nights and we don't regret. The hotel and the room were clean, the wi-fi was working properly, the parking had plenty of empty places, in other words: as it should be.
We had dinner and breakfasts at the Elements restaurant inside the hotel and although the first night we appreciated the meal, the second night we went to another restaurant as the menu was identical with the previous night. The same thing happened in the morning with the breakfast which has a limited number of choices compared with other hotels, other Crowne Plaza or even lower...
buena estadia
26 septiembre 2014
La estadia fue en general, muy buena. Al llegar faltaban elementos basicos en el baño, a los 5 minutos de entrar en la habitacion una señora del servicio toco la puerta y pregunto si necesitabamos algo, le pedimos lo que faltaba, lo trajo y se quedo esperando la propina, cosa que nos molesto bastante. Al dia siguiente cuando llegamos en la tarde, se suponia que la habitacion estaba hecha, aunque las camas estaban tendidas, los almohadones estaban en el piso y estaba todo bastante desordenado, por lo que nos quejamos. Despues de eso todo funciono a la perfeccion.
En general, el personal fue muy correcto, en especial el de la piscina.
En cuanto a la limpieza, la moquette de la habitacion estaba bastante sucia. Todo lo demas estaba muy correcto y limpio.
En suma, fue una estadia muy confortable, de descanso,en un entorno muy lindo, y lo volveriamos a elegir y a recomendar!!!
Muchas gracias
Great Place to stay for the money
24 septiembre 2014
A very nice place with comfortable rooms right across the street from the beach or right at the inter-coastal waterway. The staff was very friendly and accommodating with any request I made. The pool area was comfortable and expansive enough to not feel crowded at all. Every area was neat and clean. I was a little disappointed in the breakfast buffet as the food was not up to the quality of the rest of the hotel. I did not eat dinner there but the lunch was very good sitting around the pool area with the gazebo. I would definitely stay again when in the area.
Just OK

The hotel had a new patio goingg in so it was quite noisy and it was a maze to find your way to the pool. The restaraunt closes at 2 leaving only the TIKI Bar for Lunch. Not great if hot and humid as usually is in South Florida.
Found hair in the bed when undoing the covers. Freaks me out from that point on. I only stayed 1 night but was booked for 3.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The online colors and images were exactly like the product. They were a perfect match for my theme colors. Personalizing was easy and the designers made adjustments for what I could not do online."
"These little cards are beautiful and go with the invites perfefctly! I personally used these cards for our wedding RSVP cards, with the turquoise print. They came out great and I might order more for our Direction & Info cards next. Highly recommend! Beautiful!"
"Everything, including color and font was exactly as I wanted and ordered. Nothing was brighter/duller than the images on the company site. Highly recommended."
"We went with the pearl paper, which felt fancier than the matte. We also asked for the text to be in the 'pearl' color instead of the stock color, which felt really pink. We're very happy with the navy/cream color combo. Directions to our venue took up more room than expected. I was hoping to have a little more room to add a few more details. It would be great if they could print on both sides of the paper. We don't want to bulk up the invitations by adding another enclosure card, so we just skipped some of the details (like a link to the ferry schedule)."
"We chose to use this as an information card with directions and our wedding website so it wasnt as full as in the example. the designer adjusted spacing and size and even added more colored font and they really look wonderful. we chose oasis and leaf from the custom colors and they are beautiful."

Notify client of a change....
Environment: C# Winforms, SDK 1.2
I am new to Couchbase so I may have missed something. What I want to achieve is a push notification to a client(s) when a document updates after being replicated by XDCR. My use case is as follows:
- Two clusters (CL1, CL2) with a single node in each
- Two clients (K1, K2) such that K1 connected to CL1, K2 connected to CL2
- K1 makes a change to DocA
- DocA is replicated via XDCR from CL1 --> CL2
- Once DocA is in CL2 client K2 is notified
Is this something that the Observe() method can do or is there another approach?
The client is not aware of XDCR replication and it does not have any hooks into XDCR events. So unfortunately, there's no way for a client instance to know that a key was replicated to its cluster.
Assuming that K2 needs to operate on data that's been replicated to C2, an (admittedly untested) alternative would be to have C2 replicate to an ASP.NET endpoint. In this case, you could use the Nancy endpoint I recently wrote - http://blog.couchbase.com/xdcr-aspnet-and-nancy.
- K1 writes a key to C1
- C1 (via XDCR) sends the key to C2
- C2 (via XDCR) sends the key to the Nancy endpoint
- K2 is used inside of an IReplicationHandler subclass (see blog for details)
So basically, after C1 XDCR replicates to C2, you push from C2 to your app, which would have XDCR endpoints defined, either via Nancy or by copying the code from my Nancy app into your existing web app. The endpoint host isn't important, but the URIs (e.g., /pools) and JSON responses are. Again, the idea here is that you're treating the K2 app as a third XDCR endpoint, but one that receives its keys only after C2 gets them from C1.
Observe is used to specify durability requirements when storing or removing keys. For example, you could ask the client to consider a store operation successful if and only if a key was persisted to its master node and replicated (in memory or disk) to two replica nodes. http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-sdk-net-1.2/couchbase-sdk-net-st...

Take a deep breath: Letting go of financial stress
Published on - December 31st, 2012 (by Sarah Gilbert)
I've been reading through some of my old posts and thinking about what I wanted for this, my very-end-of-the-year statement on money. And what I saw was a lot (a lot) of angst and worry and stress. It was appropriate, as I'd spent most of the day in a kind of crazy wound-up worked-up state, getting ready for what should be a lovely, restful retreat with a few friends from my writer's group.
Part of it was financial. I'd spent the week juggling money. I had plenty of money coming in, and I had even done a fairly good job of budgeting for once. But it was more than just the money going out — it wasn't all coming in when I thought it would, and so some of it was going to have to wait to go out again. No big deal. It could work out in the end.
But I wasn't thinking, "no big deal."
I was thinking, whoa, Nellie! Oh no oh no oh no! I imagined what it would be like if that big check I wrote to a farmer bounced (it didn't). They would be so upset! And it would cost them. And it would cost me. And I'd be obliged to pay their fees, too, and then I would be out a hundred bucks or something more than I planned and maybe I would have to pay my babysitter late and…
I had myself worked up, over what was unlikely to happen. What didn't happen. I realized what I was doing was the same thing I told you all not to do: improperly assessing risks.
I had my worry-to-risk ratio all wrong.
Years ago, I started to work on relaxing more about being late for things. I'm terribly, awfully, predictably late, all the time. I have realized it's because I am a big-idea person, and a perfectionist and, also, a procrastinator. So, I will get a big idea, like, oh! It would be so great if I was the one who brought cloaks back into fashion! I could start tonight at that party to which I have been invited. And I will remember that I made that Red Riding Hood cape for Halloween last year, but it's missing a beautiful ribbon. And so if I could only sew that fabric I have there into a beautiful ribbon… but first I should clean my dining room so that I can find the thread color I want. And if I'm cleaning my dining room, that dresser really needs to be organized, and where does that bottle of nail polish go? Maybe in a nail polish jar!
So, five o'clock rolls around, and I haven't really started on my sash, but, oh boy, is my dining room looking better. And I've started a dozen organizing projects and finished six. Way to go! But either I have to be late or forget the sash.
Eventually everything gets done, but I'm late a lot. And it's always worse if I spend the whole trip to the party/school pickup/coffee date with my friend explaining myself over and over, practicing my reason why I was late, trying to make the sash project sound witty and adorable, not obsessive. Half the time, I'll arrive and my friend is not even the tiniest bit mad, and I don't have to give my speech. Maybe she doesn't even notice. Maybe she's late, too.
And the times when it is truly, extremely important for me to be on time are rare, and I should only spend my energy worrying about those. (Not that I shouldn't endeavor to be on time always! Of course!) But…
Worry is sapping
When I focus on stress, on thinking through all the possibilities of how bad it could get, how I might be embarrassed or hampered from future farm-purchasing activity, or how my friend is going to give up on me this time and stop inviting me, I am spending my time causing pain. And sometimes, actual physical pain to myself with worry — instead of focusing on some more creative pursuit. Stress is bad for your health and thus financially punitive.
But more importantly, stress takes away from the great things you could be thinking about. While you are obsessing about financial problems, you could be coming up with the perfect slogan for your new ad campaign. Or the solution to your child's potty training problem. Or puzzling over the background of a character in a novel. Or devising a new special dish at your restaurant. Whatever your job, life mission or avocation, you could be thinking about that. Not about the various ways in which your money might let you down.
It's not just those living check-to-check who worry too much
Many of my friends and family are scraping by, and we have lots of things to worry about. But I've been in situations in which I had lots of savings, and I have plenty of friends who have plenty of padding in their budget, and they still worry. They worry about whether the market's tiny swings will have an outsized effect on their stock portfolio. About whether interest rates will go up before they lock in a new mortgage or a refinance. About whether they are spending more than something is worth. About whether they will get the raise they deserve, or the bonus that will allow purchase of a new vacation house, or get their kids into the right school. We're worrying all the time.
Let go of worry!
If I had one resolution for the new year it would be to let go of financial worry. It's not as simple as it sounds, of course — you can't just open your hands and let it slip through your fingers and into the wind. But you can try. Here are a few things I'll be trying:
- Set aside a certain time each month to "worry," err, budget and go through your bills and expenses. Make an appointment on your calendar. Make it long enough so you can do everything that needs to be done; follow up on payment plans or write checks or figure out who owes you for that side of beef you were sharing. When it's done, button it up. Stop thinking about it.
- Don't open the mail right as it arrives. (At least not the mail from creditors, investment plans, utilities and the like.) If you're prone to worry, opening a bill or a financial statement will trigger that worry. Do it all at once, once a week or a couple of times each month.
- When worries creep in, interrogate them. "What if this deposit doesn't clear in time?" "What if those two stocks go down together?" First ask your worries, "What is the worst that could happen?" and "what are you really afraid of?" and "how will worrying help a bit?" Unless you can actually change the outcome by worrying, it's not worth it. Tell your worries that. Make them stand up for themselves. I bet they'll crumple!
- Appoint someone else the executor of your worries. If you're partnered, or in any sort of relationship with a loved one who is less anxious than you are, hand over the worries to your spouse or significant other or sibling. Tell them the trouble and let them worry about it (chances are, it won't seem like that big of a deal when you say it out loud).
- Don't shop your worries away. (Or buy them away with coffee/tea/sweets/alcohol/etc.) This may make you feel better in the moment, but it will make things worse when you start worrying about the money you just spent.
- Find a mantra or a problem to return to when the worries creep in. It could be a sweet, romantic memory. Or a favorite song lyric or poem. Or, if you're a math geek, work out a problem in your head. Recite this bit from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (my favorite rhythmic earworm). Figure out what to do with the broken pottery you've been saving — a mosaic maybe, on the coffee table? Design something in your head. Create; don't worry.
This is my path, my resolution for the new year: make something, don't stress over something. Take a deep breath and focus my eyes on the trees and rain outside, on the steam rising from my coffee or the wind moving the branches. There is a big mysterious and wonderful world outside of the worries in my brain. See that instead.
This article is about Choices, Health & Fitness, Psychology, Real-Life, Self-Improvement
The best advise I've ever been given was to ignore the immoveable obstacles and simply walk around them. In short it means don't worry about things you can't control.
Over the last few years I've taken this onboard in most things and as a result I travel slower, I eat slower, and I'm very rarely stressed. Yes there is some worry, but it is a different kind of worry than before.
A financial example is how I now keep a lump of money in my current account. It doesn't have fees and there is no interest earned, but it lets me know how to worry about a direct debt bouncing or such, and to me that little bit less worry is worth whatever amount of interest I could have earned.
I agree with Nicole and Maggie! Work towards a debt free lifestyle and the worries and stresses will completely vanish. We are down to just 3 mortgages (our house and two rentals). When we got married we had 5 highly leveraged properties, student loans, credit cards, etc. Eliminating debt and complexity, having an emergency fund, saving for retirement, as well as living below our means completely wiped out the financial stress. …and it really didn't take more than two years to turn things around.
Happy New Year!
Awesomely in time, your article! I'm prone to worrying too, especially about money. So I managed to just having had the best business year ever in 2012, and now I'm agonizing over my prospects in 2013 which look a little less good because I've gotten rid of a client that didn't work out anymore, and OMG I will surely earn less now and [insert impeding downfall].
Love your tips about handling that worry. Definitely will try to put some of them to use.
Thanks and Happy New Year!
As a new postgraduate student, I've found that the thing that most reduces my stress is setting myself mini-deadlines to break down work before the true deadline. For example I will research the topic of my report one week, write it the next week, and edit it the week after, long before the four-week deadline approaches! It is SO MUCH less stressful than leaving it all to the last minute!
In finances, this could also be used. For example, paying off debts early, setting money aside for bills in advance, just generally getting organised and having an emergency fund ready and waiting when something unexpected comes up!
"There is a big mysterious and wonderful world outside of the worries in my brain. See that instead." – This sums it up perfectly. Becoming aware of the gaps in our finances can lead to some amount of worries and stress, but in my opinion, it usually ends up being productive if we take the necessary measures to correct the problems. On the other hand, if we are totally unaware of how messed up our finances are, we continue to go down the downward spiral without even realizing it until we reach an abysmal pit. Obviously, the best approach is to strike a balance – to see the reality as it is and taking steps to improve our situation rather than stressing endlessly. Getting rid of stress is a good resolution to take. Have a wonderful New Year!
Sarah, I so identify with procrastinating and being late because I'm *sure* I have time to do whatever-it-is before I leave and then rehearsing my explanation all the way there. Also, your posting is very timely as I was worrying this morning about the financial implications of some big changes ahead. You've reminded me that I *am* prepared and to let the fretting go.
"Make something, don't stress over something." Well said!
Many are full of worry right now over financial subjects like the fiscal cliff, the upcoming tax season, dealing with the credit bills from Christmas, etc. This is a timely and useful message.
I'm not one to worry much but I do have a tendency to succumb to analysis paralysis by spending too much time thinking over plans instead of setting them in motion. As a blogger, that is something that hampers me from posting frequently enough.
However, I'm starting to get a better handle on what I'm doing and am focusing on well-calculated goals to pursue for 2013. I wish all of us less worry and more confidence in our finances as we go forward into the new year.
I agree that worrying is not helpful in the least! My husband and I were just laughing this morning about what a worrier I am. I can't seem to help it!
That said, as far as finances go, I have to make a plan and then think about it a little each day. If I don't "worry" or think about it at all, I end up not sticking to it as well. So I guess a little bit of worry can be good just to keep ourselves accountable!
I have realized it's because I am a big-idea person, and a perfectionist and, also, a procrastinator. So, I will get a big idea, like, oh! It would be so great if I was the one who brought cloaks back into fashion! I could start tonight at that party to which I have been invited. And I will remember that I made that Red Riding Hood cape for Halloween last year, but it's missing a beautiful ribbon. And so if I could only sew that fabric I have there into a beautiful ribbon… but first I should clean my dining room so that I can find the thread color I want. And if I'm cleaning my dining room, that dresser really needs to be organized, and where does that bottle of nail polish go? Maybe in a nail polish jar!
Et tu, ADHD??
Ha ha, I saw this at like 3am (my time) but wasn't sure about posting a response. Now that I'm awake again, I have to ask– might you have a touch of the ADHD as well? Cuz… I definitely do, ha ha ha! And it looks a lot like that! (Minus the nail polish, and the ribbons, etc.– but same structure)
I don't know if you'll be around tomorrow, but I have some notes on that condition (only incidental to the main topic, but still…). You might get the laugh of recognition (maybe, maybe) that I got here today.
The weird synchronicity of it all…
ANYWAY, re: worries– GTD! I'm telling you! Get all your worries out of your brain and onto a trusted system! (check back tomorrow, if you can, for further instructions).
-Dr. Nerdo, Carnival Psychologist
What a timely post. I am a constant worrier….even when things are going well. This is a great reminder to only worry about what is in my control and to let go of everything else. Thank you.
Yes, worry at the right level, enough to push to action, not to freeze or agonize. Perspective. I was talking to my co-owner and said, "hey, I got bad news" (it was regarding a huge job bid I had lost and was really counting on). Before I could continue, she replied "oh no, terri just called with bad news, Suzie has Leukemia". Perspective.
Thanks for writing this! Your timing is perfect. I had a very bad weekend because I took a healthy financial situation (a year's expenses safely in the bank) and mentally turned it into catastrophe (likely homelessness, no retirement ever) when I realized I hadn't saved all I could.
While a recalibration of spending/saving is definitely in order, we're in good shape, I caught the problem early and we're taking all manner of steps to get back on track. The enormous amount of worry didn't help me at all and pretty much ruined a weekend.
In my case, I'm working to keep perspective, my partner is taking a larger role in money management and we're setting up bi-weekly money management sessions. The hardest part for me is recognizing that freaking out and scanning for catastrophe is not "being prepared" — it's toxic!
A fan of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight! The Tolkein translation is a wonder; you've probably read it. If not, enjoy.
Holy shark tank batman! I think that letting go of financial worry is a really wonderful idea. So, too, is ignoring the comments section after hitting "publish".
Loved your article. Excellent tips! Especially about appointing someone else to deal with the anxiety for sometime. For me shopping away anxiety also works unless I end up making a huge hole in my wallet. I think the key is to create a balance. We cannot control everything even if we try to, but we can't stop worrying completely. I just see to it that I am not worrying over something unnecessary. Rest I can balance.
Had a great work out…Nice tips to overcome stress in our life. Getting worried on things not done makes a person to get depressed more. Instead of that he spares some time and finds a new way to solve the problems will relax from mental stress…

In a way, every outing for Drillers relief pitcher Coty Woods is Mother's Day. When he first comes out to the mound, he writes her initials in the dirt.
"I always tell everybody she's my best friend and my hero," said Woods.
Woods didn't pitch on Mother's Day but that wasn't the only reason she didn't see the game.
"She died about six months ago... had lung cancer for a long, long time," Woods explained. "Being Mother's Day today makes it a little tough, but you get through these things."
Woods has done much more than just "get by" in his pitching performances this year. In his 17 innings pitched, Woods is 3-0 with 7 saves and 17 strikeouts.
And Woods has yet to give up a run.
Not bad for a guy who went in the 33rd round to Colorado in 2009. The success doesn't surprise pitching coach Dave Schuler.
"He goes about his business. He knows what he has to do," Schuler said. "He comes in, throws his pitches, and locates well."
"Consistency is the name of the game and then you're looking for opportunity. So hopefully it comes his way sooner or later."
If Coty Woods continues to put up these kinds of numbers, place your money on "sooner."

Traffic Lights; Long Exposures At Night
One of the first techniques I learned in photography was to use long exposures at night to blur traffic lights. I liked it decades ago, and I still enjoy seeing artful streaks of light superimposed over an urban environment. You never know exactly what the resulting images will look like, and that's part of the fun. When the background happens to striking, like the Walt Disney Theater in Los Angeles, California (#1), the combination of abstract lights and architecture makes a winning photograph.
One of the advantages we have now is seeing the images we take immediately in the LCD monitor on the back of the camera. Instead of waiting until the film is developed to make any changes in our technique, we can correct problems like poor exposure, the need for a longer or shorter shutter speed, a change in white balance, and a change in depth of field while we are out shooting. This helps you take the kinds of images you want without having to come back and do it a second time.
If you don't use a tripod when photographing at night you'll be disappointed with your images if you want them to be sharp and of the highest quality. Even though you are essentially creating abstracts, the various elements in the scene—including the lights—must be sharp. If you are only interested in complete abstractions, like the shot in Paris (#2), then no tripod is necessary at all. After you try this a few times, it will probably get old. You will then use a tripod to take shots that show the juxtaposition of a sharp environment with the colorful movement of night traffic (#3). It is interesting to note that our eyes never see streaks of light as vehicles pass in front of us. Only a camera can reveal this abstraction in color and form because it records the movement over time, something that our brain can't do.
The Technique
I recommend using a Daylight White Balance when photographing traffic lights. Many people use AWB (Auto White Balance), but this makes the tungsten lights white as opposed to golden in color. Personally, I prefer the warmer look. To determine your own preferences, compare daylight with AWB and see what looks good to you. If you want deep blue pictures, like the urbanscape I shot in Bangkok (#5), try using a Tungsten White Balance.
D-SLR Owners: To minimize camera vibration when doing long exposures, it's best to use the mirror lock-up feature. This can be found in one of the menus in your camera, and it positions the mirror up out of the way of the light path before the picture is taken. When the shutter opens and closes, the mirror doesn't move until after the picture has been captured as opposed to flipping up and down when you push the shutter. The reduction in vibration helps ensure your pictures are tack sharp.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/220892When operating a for-profit or non-profit business, it should be approached the same way. The only difference is that a non-profit business isn't looking to take the profit from the business, even though you still want to provide the most benefit you can for the organization.
You will have to file documents with the IRS to show that you want to become a non-profit business. Visit www.irs.gov for more information or a local accountant. My main question is what would be your main purpose for changing? In addition, do realize you can still be audited and will still need to justify legitimate expenditures?

Does everything have to come from something else?
The origin of life and the universe.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Gabo Moreno 100+Aug 1 2012: Well, for one, all of our knowledge about causality depends on there being time. Einstein has shown that time is not a constant, thus causality does not operate, or at least not in our common usage concept of causality. Then, that we might have found that all or most of what we witness has come from something else does not necessarily mean everything has to. Then, if everything came from something else, then we have to think that either regression is infinite (which may or may not imply time, which, as we said, is not constant), or the whole thing goes in circles (which again may or may not imply time, which is not a constant). Thus, whatever our experience, we cannot know for sure if everything has to come from something else. It does not make sense for everything to come from something else, yet, we do not have the mind, concepts, and vocabulary to talk about timelessness at all. Thus, we can't conclude either way other than to say that it is not a necessary truth that everything has to come from something else. All we could say is that so far it looks that way (though some physicists might disagree), and that logic alone will not help us figure it out.
Aug 2 2012: That is kind of what I was getting to. Understanding the limits of reality is pushing the limits of what our apish brains evolved to perceive and understand. What is time. Is nothing something. What is outside the universe. What existed before. How can matter pop into and out of existence.
I suggest some things may seem to come from nothing but nothing is something.
Or perhaps there has always been something. But something different to our current observable reality.
Also something can come from nothing if offset. 0 = + 1 -1. Perhaps dark matter offsets light matter.
Aug 7 2012: Gabo :
Maybe it's true that whatever our experience we can't say if causality occurs or not for certain but the reason you gave for it do not proves it because it doesn't matter if time is relative to the process or constant in order for causality to appear , what matters is there to be time . Einstein never said there isn't time or a succession of events .
Aug 4 2012: You can claim as you wish Yet, despite you seem quite sincere about what you are saying, it is convoluted and confused even in your own mind. Such philosophy so detached from reality, as imaginative as you might perceive it, does not solve anything. Imagining that you solved something does not mean you solved it. Reading about the perplexing interpretations of quantum mechanics, imagining that you understood them and that they really reflect what's going on, mixing all of that with new age religiosity, and then jumping on it to build such convoluted philosophy is no conductive to reasonable conclusions.
Aug 6 2012: RE: "For one you can't claim. . . "
I, too, would rather that you not continue. No shock Gabo that you disagree with my logic, that is a dead horse we need not continue beating. If you honestly cannot see how an uncaused cause cannot be a natural reality then I must confess I am stark blind to your rationale, and believe you are so to mine. Our exchanges have been many and have all led nowhere Gabo. I wish you the best, but I prefer not to continue contesting your opinions and observations. Allow for faith my friend. Be well.-Edward
Aug 8 2012: I'm delighted to see my less-that-hospitable remark did not cause any grief Gabo. We are on the threshhold of the boundary between natural and supernatural. The language I speak regarding the latter is foreign to you. You assess it as "horoscopes; detached from reality; not conducive to reasonable conclusions; total failure from the beginning; etc." My belief in the Biblical account is an essential part of who I am. I know you view it as snake oil, I did also. My reluctance to defend the idea of a Necessary Being as the Uncaused Cause of Everything is not spurious. We have butted heads too long on this matter. We both defend what we believe, and you do a very good job, I admire your intellect, education, and decency in debate. But I "know" I will never convince you to allow for faith, and you will never convince me to abandon mine. Let me resign from further contests with you about such matters. I look forward to less contentious dialogs with you. Thanks Gabo.
Aug 5 2012: RE: "I agree with you. . . "
Perhaps formally stating my argument is in order here to make you see the logic of my conclusion that everything finite (natural) comes from (is caused by) some other natural (finite) thing:
1) Nothing can satisfy the concept of the Uncaused Cause but a necessary being.
2) So if the Uncaused Cause is so much as possible, a being is necessary.
3) It is surely possible for a necessary being to exist—theism is not incoherent after all.
4) So an Uncaused Cause in the form of a Being exists necessarily.
5) So an Uncaused Cause in the form of a Being exists actually.
Aug 5 2012: I completely agree in your logic. Your basis for this conclusion is the fact that "infinite regression" is impossible which would mean the catalyst for existence would necessarily be an "uncaused cause." You are also saying "God" as a being that is an "uncaused cause" exists because it is necessary. This is logical. I'm sure this "Uncaused Cause Concept" can be easily represented as a true statement mathematically. My issue here is that the concept is highly philosophical those who are not already inclined will most likely not relate to it. The uncaused cause it a great starting point. My book Quantum Philosophy does profoundly add to this idea.
Aug 5 2012: Meh,
For one, you can't claim with certainty that anything natural is finite, nor that everything natural has to come from something else. Logical failure failure from the beginning. If we still went for your next stuff:
1. Why couldn't an uncaused cause be a property of natural reality, rather than a "being", let alone a "necessary" one?
See, total failure from the beginning. Total failure at the very next step after the first total failure, and I rather not continue.
Completely disagree with your faulty logic.
Aug 6 2012: Edward :
I could agree that the idea of 'uncaused cause' implies its necessity but it doesn't mean (as Gabo said) that the uncaused cause is a being , you need to give more reasons for it in order to prove you claim. Anyway , it could be a being , so let's make from it a reasons to believe , a reason which suggest an uncaused cause=being (God) exist . Isn't it enough for theism ? I think it is .
Anyway it is at least as good as any atheistic reason which suggest for some minds that God do not exist .
What Gabo is wrong about is that he thinks there is no reason to believe , perhaps he said it to you too .
Aug 8 2012: Sorry Edward, but I sincerely cannot see why an uncaused cause cannot be one or many natural realities. The only way to be convinced about such a thing, please try and follow regardless of our differences, would be if we were able to test and understand each and every bit of natural reality and know for sure that no natural thing(s) could be an uncaused cause. Even then, there would still be the open question about whether the unnatural uncaused cause had to be a being, or else just some unnatural cause(s), that started the whole natural part, but is not a being. For that, only to start, we would need some kind of way of distinguishing where the unnatural starts, which should be quite the problem.
So you see? There is nothing clearly logical about what you said. Only a bunch of unfounded assumptions. Or else, assumptions on top of other unfounded assumptions. I can honestly say that I do not know if there is an uncaused cause, or else if we cannot talk about cause/effects at some points within nature just because our experiences and cause/effect relationships come from a reality where time is a given, while scientific understanding includes realities, far from those experiences, which are timeless. So, not knowing is fine by me. Claiming to know with unfounded premises, that I can't admit.
I know we wil not agree before I even comment. I expect though to be able to give you a sense of why your logic fails. You gratuitously accept faulty premises mixed with faulty logic. I don't. Even if that means that I end with no answers.
Aug 8 2012: Gabo :
What about this :
I agreed that the 'uncaused cause' is not necessarily a being , part of a different reality than ours , all I'm saying is that it could be a being. It's true that I can't prove if the 'uncaused cause' is unnatural but I have reasons to think it could be more than natural , example :
- the limits the science has reached to , physics for example has reached at some very tiny particles and we still don't have the all answers ....;
- some metaphysical questions and paradoxes ;
- the concept of infinite nobody has entirely understood so far;
- the existence of more dimensional spaces like 1D , 2D , 3D , 4D ..... about this we are sure but what guarantees me there aren't more ? ; if you think at the relations between this spaces , the way everyone bigger includes the others and if you continue to imagine something more than 4D you can reach at something 'unnatural' very easy.
I agree that what Edward said rest mainly on assumptions but I don't agree that this assumptions are unfounded , they are some reasonable assumptions because I provide reasons for them. I don't try to prove something, I don't claim I know something . Let's say Edward want to go beyond limits with a reasonable imagination . Does this logic fails ? I don't think so . So what Edward said is still worth to think about .

Daniel Thomas sported a busted lip Tuesday, a war wound from a game hed rather forget.
My helmet came off, at some point, Thomas said. I think its when it happened.
The gash will heal. Time will tell if the Miami Dolphins running game will do the same.
The Dolphins, 1-0 after beating the host Browns by two scores Sunday, almost had the feel of a team coming off a loss when they returned to practice Tuesday. Chances are, it was because all the questions in the locker room were about the offenses inability to run the football in the opener.
They managed just 20 yards on 23 carries against Cleveland, the third-fewest rushing yards the Dolphins have ever gained in a game. Not surprisingly, the Dolphins have the leagues worst running attack through the first week of the season.
Theres plenty of blame to go around.
• The offensive line:
Tyson Clabo, brought in to stabilize the right side of the line, graded out as the worst run-blocker among the 65 offensive tackles to take at least a quarter of their teams snaps in Week 1, according to Pro Football Focus.
For me, personally, it definitely wasnt the standard that I set for myself, but everybody has tough days at the office, Clabo said.
Jonathan Martin, the starting left tackle, wasnt much better. He ranked 60th. Guards Richie Incognito and John Jerry and center Mike Pouncey all had middle-of-the-pack efforts.
Said Pouncey: Rushing for 20 yards, were not going to win many games that way.
• Tight ends:
Charles Clay was a weapon in the passing game (5 catches, 54 yards), but his run-blocking needs work, offensive coordinator Mike Sherman said.
I thought he can improve there, hes still a work in progress, he definitely has the capabilities to be a very good run-blocker, Sherman added.
(As an aside, two tight ends the Dolphins let walk in free agency, Anthony Fasano and Jeron Mastrud, both had superb run-blocking days for their new teams.)
When Clay was asked what in particular needs improvement, he mentioned his punch, where to hit defensive players and his head placement.
Its all correctable, Clay added. I just want to be a person whos dependable.
• Running backs:
The holes werent there Sunday, but its not like Lamar Miller or Thomas did much to create on their own.
Miller averaged just 0.7 yards after contact per attempt second-worst in the league. Thomas was only slightly better at 1.4.
By way of comparison, Adrian Peterson averaged 5.4 yards per attempt after contact. Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said that aspect of their game absolutely needs to improve, no question about it.
I feel like as the season continues, the more games we get, were going to get better at that, said Thomas, who managed just 14 yards on 8 carries.
Miller was even more ineffective, needing 10 rushes to gain 3 yards. He has had days like that before, going for just 29 yards on 16 carries against North Carolina during his final year at the University of Miami. The next game, he was just 7 yards shy of 100.
The Dolphins also have this going for them: The Colts front seven should be far more welcoming than Clevelands was. Indianapolis surrendered 171 rushing yards to the Raiders in Week 1.
I think we will never have a game like that again where we rush for 20 yards, Thomas said.

Tomato, Zucchini and Fontina Frittata
When you're trying keep a meal on the light side and cleanup to a minimum, frittata, the Italian version of an omelette, fits the bill perfectly. You can put just about anything you want in a frittata ~ ham or bacon, asparagus, leeks, artichokes, roasted peppers, etc. This is our favorite meatless combination - delicious, easy to prepare and suitable for brunch or a late night dinner.
- Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, very finely chopped
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1 medium tomato, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 7 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup fontina cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 375°.
Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof nonstick skillet over a medium heat (we find an 8-inch diameter pan works well).
Add the onion, garlic, zucchini and bell pepper and sauté until soft and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add the tomato and cook another 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Spread the veggies evenly over the bottom of the pan and pour in the eggs. Distribute the cubes of fontina evenly around the pan.
Continue cooking, undisturbed, until the center of the frittata is almost set, but the top is still wet. Place in the preheated oven until the top is set - times will vary. Remove from the oven and let stand for 2 minutes.
To serve, invert onto a plate and cut into wedges.
