Something to Feel Good About: Bucks 84 – Pacers 81
Category: Recaps
Scott Skiles had to laugh, probably to keep himself from crying, but maybe to keep himself from running on the court and launching an impromptu tutorial on how to properly shoot a free throw. After all, we're talking about a guy who was an 88.9 percent free throw shooter for his career.
So the 0-7 finish the Bucks had at the free throw line Monday night was properly particularly devastating for their coach to watch.
And it's unfortunate that the once again unacceptable free throw shooting takes away from the positives that this game brought. Andrew Bogut had the best game of his career, dominating Roy Hibbert and everyone else the Pacers threw at him en route to 31 points and 18 rebounds. And Bogut was able to cede control of the ending to Brandon Jennings, who had another frigid looking shooting night at 7-19, but hit a three and fall-away jumper in the last two minutes that helped give the Bucks just enough breathing room.
And that's how everyone envisions the Bucks being successful, ride Andrew Bogut relentlessly all game and then let Jennings handle the ball and make plays in the fourth quarter, it's the perfect big man/little man set up. And for one night the Bucks had it going.
And still, Milwaukee almost blew the game.
- I feel like I'm constantly getting a never ending stream of text messages about how bad Michael Redd is at this point, but if you look at his final line and changed his name to something else, he doesn't stand out as being bad at all. Rather, his plus eight looks fairly nice. Don't let it fool you into thinking it was all roses and rainbows for Redd on Monday though, he still takes DIFFICULT shots and apparently is incapable of shooting a free throw. On Twitter, mAndersonMN suggested that it may be do to his recent knee problems, that he's not getting the necessary knee bend into the shot and inevitably coming up short. A good theory and something I'll try and delve into further when the Bucks return home Wednesday. One thing I've noticed Redd doing that I do like, has been his recent interest in aggressive defense. He's had a few steals this year where he gambles a little, but pokes it free off another man; he did it to Kobe and now Troy Murphy Monday.
- Rotation roulette continues. Charlie Bell sat for the entire first half, entered the game two minutes into the third quarter and stayed in the rest of the game. With good reason too. In Bell's ten third quarter minutes, he was 2-2 from behind the arc, scored six points and the Bucks outscored Indiana by eight. In the fourth, Bell had a steal and a block but was apart of the parade of questionable free throw misses in the last minute. Bell's first half minutes went to Jodie Meeks who remains mysteriously incapable of connecting on open three's. Even if Meeks is flying around making plays, grabbing rebounds and playing exceptional defense it will never make up for it when he's not making three's. His position requires the making of open three-point shots. The Bucks entire offense relies on that position hitting those shots, so if they aren't going in it doesn't really matter what else he's doing.
- Bogut was aggressive and hitting early, so it looked like he was on track to have a good night, but rarely do we get to see the Australian hit for 30. Rarely as in we've never seen that before. Congratulations to Bogut on his career high 31 points and extra congratulations on getting 18 rebounds to go along. That kind of aggressiveness and commitment from the rest of the Bucks on getting the ball to Bogut down low will go a long way towards getting the Bucks some more wins in the future. Bogut's game relies largely on touch and feel rather than his force of nature, so it's not easy for him to shoot 14-19 like it may be for a Dwight Howard, so when he has it going it's important it's recognized and capitalized on.
- So Michael Redd's return to the starting line-up meant Luc Richard Mbah a Moute's return to the bench. I know Skiles is thinking that LRMAM's versatility is valuable off the bench and allows for more flexibility, as he can come in for Ersan, Redd or Carlos Delfino but it's still hard to believe he hasn't earned a starting spot and 30 minutes of tick (playing time) a night. He's the team's best defender and finished yesterday with a plus 14. Mike Dunleavy struggled out of the blocks Monday, but when LRMAM came in he didn't do the Pacers best offensive option any favors.
- While the Bucks absolutely should have been up more than three as the game wound down, the plus side was their defense as the clocked ticked away. They did give up an offensive rebound to Tyler Hansbrough, who proceeded to punch Andrew Bogut in the stomach and dunk, but whenever a team can force T.J. Ford into two crucial three-point attempts with the game winding down, that's something worth feeling good about.
Final Thoughts
This is a double rarity: a Milwaukee road win, in a three point game nonetheless. While it's fun to say the Bucks showed character or "figured out" how to win a close one for once, it really was just a matter of the ball bouncing their ways more than it did not for once. If Ford hits one of those miraculous three's, and the way things have gone the last three games I'm surprised he didn't, who knows what happens. But, for all the ugliness that was the Bucks finish in this one, the two facts in the previous sentence still stand out. After three straight tough losses that left everyone questioning where things stood for the Bucks, this is at least a momentary bright spot.

It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task.

Is it just me or does Brandon Jennings look different in his approach. He's not playing with the same confidence & looks like a robot out there. In the beginning when things were clicking it seemed as if it were his team. Usually the point guard is the coach on the floor. M.Redd being back has definitely changed the landscape of the team thus far negatively. I'm noticing the team has no identity.
Also what does Skiles have against Delfino? Europeans usually aren't defensive stoppers nor do they rebound or play blue collar basketball like he'd like. With that being said hoping & asking for Delfino to be anything other than a scorer or ball handler is your fault. Bell, Warrick,Ukic,Meeks should all be playing more. You guys also don't run the pick & roll enough for Jennings & Bogut which worked in the beginning of the season. Teams haven't really figured anything out it's just you guys aren't playing the same. Also why is it so hard for Jennings to finish quarters. Ukic & Delfino can handle the point duties. Ridnour & Jennings had a great chemistry going on. Ilyasova game has also suffered since Redd has been back. He's another scorer. Bogut along with the rest of the team aren't great passers. Skiles needs to just pull back a little and have fun with his new young pg. Allow him to learn & believe in him. The season comes or goes with him. He's the engine & everybody feeds of him. He looks like he's always looking around for your directions. He's more than capable of running the team himself. Push the tempo,Pick & Roll & smile sometimes. You'd think they were doing something aside from playing a sport. Your supposed to have fun.
Jennings plays better being loose. Skiles wants him to play a certain way which is benefecial to Jennings or the team. He's looking to pass they just have to finish. He's a point guard who can score not the other way around. If he frustrates you guys everyone is spoiled. Out the gates he was better than anyone except himself & family & friends could have expected. He's playing fine he just was blistering in the beginning. That 55 point outing was like a Gift & Curse only because I think Skiles thought he'd get bigheaded. He isn't that type of player. He thrives when he's confident. Believe in him & acknowledge all his done for the Team & whole Miluakee organization & FANS.
Has anyone else noticed on the TV broadcasts that Jon McGlocklin actually has an opinion or two lately, maybe starting last year? I couldn't stand listening to that guy most of the times, but now he's seeming to get a chip on his shoulder and actually showing a bit of a nasty streak. Don't get me wrong, not a huge fan yet, but he's coming around in my book. I now have him slightly over John Madden…
The free throw shooting at the end drove me crazy. This really wasn't a very good game. Good win, though… I guess.
Jeremy why do you say unusual amount of freedom. Are you suprised as well? When he misses his shots or shoots a lot of fg's. From time to time it's him trying to make a kickstart a stagnant offense. Who are we going to for offense. Is Ridnour & Bell going to carry us? Jennings play has changed of late. I don't see as much Pick & Rolls and also he isn't taking his shot immediately of the screen which was his bread & butter. Missed Fg's I know are stats kept. Do you actually see how many of his shots rim out. Did you also see how Mo Williams clipped his elbow(Of course a ref doesn't call that for him but Kobe& Bron and were shooting 3 throws & they look great.) I know your pro Bucks but I hope you see it & call it for what it is. Brandon does get out of control sometimes but who are the Fans & what created the Buzz for me to even be commenting on this site.
Why did they have a NBA TV game against the Thunder? Where the commentators where asking where's Brandon.? Are we back in Italy. Why was his playing time limited. They even said come on Scotty take it easy. If Brandon doesn't play let alone play well. This team doesn't stand a chance. You might as well let him find his way. All the other stars in the league have seen & respect the lil fella. What's taking you guys so long. From Lebron,Chauncey & everyteam he faces you see the love & how they embrace him after the game. Some of them know how hard & how much of a die hard Skiles is. I wouldn't mind Mark Jackson or Eric Snow getting a chance. Even Kenny Smith I'd take. Skiles I can't do it man. Wish you the best in your journey but you'd be better suited for a Big Time college program. How about ND where you can scream till smoke comes out of your ears. He looks like he's going to explode sometimes. His assistants Sampson and Boylan look intimidated. Hell I'm scared at just looking at him from home. I'll definitely trip him If I ever see him in person. He deserved the beer Ron got in his mug

Pregnancy Supplements: Does Everybody Need Them?
• Pregnant women have increased needs for many essential vitamins and minerals to support the health of their growing babies and themselves.
• Approximately 20% to 30% of pregnant women have a vitamin and mineral deficiency, and without pregnancy supplements, roughly 75% of pregnant women would be deficient in at least one vitamin.
• Nausea and vomiting affects up to 80% of all pregnant women to some degree.
Are You Thinking of Becoming Pregnant?
Women should strive to obtain optimum levels of vitamins and minerals in order to assure the proper growth and nutrition of the fetus and to prevent defects. femMED Pregnancy is specially formulated to provide a balanced blend of vitamins and minerals for the maintenance of good health and contains 1 mg of folic acid to help reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy. If you are not planning on becoming pregnant and want to practice safe sex, please check out the latest resource from Planned Parenthood: The Authoritative Guide to Safer Sex.
Tired of Morning Sickness?
Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy remains one of the unpleasant and somewhat mysterious side effects of a woman's changing body during this time in her life. According to Motherisk, some 80 per cent of all pregnant women suffer from 'morning sickness' from the first seven to 12 weeks, though some 20 per cent will suffer from these symptoms for a longer period of time, possibly for the duration of the pregnancy.
All ingredients in Pregnancy and Pregnancy + Ginger pregnancy supplements support the health of both an expectant mother and her baby with a complete blend of vitamins and minerals.
Key Ingredients:
The nutrients provided include folic acid, vitamin A, beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, biotin, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, copper, iodine and selenium.

Customers Just Like You Find Success With femMED Pregnancy and Pregnancy + Ginger
My husband and I are planning on becoming pregnant so I have been spending a lot of time researching prenatal vitamins. My gynecologist recommended I check out femMED since she takes it. Yes, she is 4 months pregnant. Anyhow, after I compared yours to a lot of the other ones in the store I found that yours was the most complete formula. I'll keep you posted on how things go and hopefully I won't need your ginger formula if I do get pregnant LOL!!! but it is good to know that there is a company out there who has women in mind with all their products.

Last night was our first experience with the no tuck rule that will be tormenting the NHL this season. The culprit? Alexander Semin when he was whistled for a delay of game penalty for having his jersey tucked into the back of his pants. Honestly, this new rule is ridiculous. In some cases tucking a jersey is part of a player's ritual and personal preference. Why would you force a player to change-up something so personal to them? It's dumb. The NHL needs to wake up and leave some of the originality in the game.

Carth found himself staring back at himself. The image was old, taken maybe six years ago. His arms were around his wife, their son was wedged between them and they were all grinning like idiots.
Arod was all the way on the inner rim, it would have taken time to reach him. But a few months delay wasn't the same thing as two years. The silence ate away at Carth's nerves and any connection he could feel for his older brother was a fond memory.
Here in the present, Arod was different. A stranger with his brother's face.
Carth had played out different scenarios in his mind. Arod had been run over by a speeder and was trapped in a hospital until he could regain the use of his legs. He was kidnapped by a tribe of mute Bothans. Or maybe, just maybe…
Maybe Arod was an asshole.
There was no speeder or hospital and Arod was safe and sound on Alderaan. Carth knew this because like an idiot, he couldn't stand the not knowing and hopped a flight there. He stood on the expensive stone walkway, banging on his brother's front door for a good fifteen minutes before a neighbor let him know about a gallery opening that Arod was visiting.
Carth had never understood Arod and his art. Bold blocks of color that a toddler could have made in his sleep. He always wanted to know what it was supposed to be, but Arod would insist that it was non-objective. Nonsensical was more like it.
The wine on the table at the door was cheap, but the cheese was good. Carth felt out of place with people in sophisticated dress as he hedged along the walls too thin for anything but paintings while he tried to ignore the musty smell of the carpet.
He didn't bother with the artist's statement. Maybe he should have. Arod Onasi. Husband, son, brother, painter. The paintings seemed to be entirely red. They appeared almost fun, with explosions of black paint or a stark white outline somewhere to contrast the vibrant color.
The man himself finally came into view around a corner, a plasteel cup of wine in his hand and his hair slicked back to the point of seeming greasy. Arod's eyes widened slightly as they connected with Carth's, but then his older brother was smiling like everything was fine.
"Carth. What are you doing here?"
The accent was fake. And Carth suspected that the smile was as well. He cleared his throat. "I need an excuse to see you now?"
"No, but an appointment would be nice." Arod's smile curled tight into a smirk. "How have you been?"
"Oh, you know." Wife dead. Son missing, presumed dead. It was all just fun and games, really. "What have you been up to?"
"Painting." Arod gestured to the exhibit with his free hand. "What do you think?"
Carth tried not to wince. "It's nice?"
"I knew you wouldn't understand."
"There's a lot of red," Carth said.
"Yes." Arod's eyes darted to his wine cup. "Look, I thought about calling. A lot."
"But you didn't."
"It was hard," Arod said. "It was easier to just think about it and then put it off."
Carth's hands clenched into fists. He didn't want to get upset, not like this, not in front of everyone, but the flash of anger was there. "Wait, let me get this straight. It was hard for you? Am I supposed to be sympathetic with that?"
Arod continued to walk and direct them down the corridors of the exhibit. "It's always been nagging at the back of my mind, Carth. I feel bad about everything."
"Well, you should." Carth crossed his arms over his chest.
"I have a daughter," Arod said. "I tuck her into bed every night. I keep trying to think about what would happen to me if... and I have absolutely no idea how to even begin talking to you."
"That doesn't mean you shouldn't talk to me period and you know it..." Carth blinked. "...You have a daughter?"
Arod nodded and took a sip of wine. "Maris. She's two."
"I meant to tell you," Arod said.
But then Telos had been bombed two years ago and everything had been flipped upside down. Was the act all for Carth's benefit or for Arod's pompous art society friends? Carth cleared his throat.
"Everyone comes to see this last painting here," Arod told him.
"Yeah?" It was probably just a painted square on a piece of canvas.
"Yes." Arod's dark eyes were on the wall in front of them. "It's called Telos."
"Telos?" Carth's insides twisted at the title and his stomach dropped away completely as he came face to face with the painting. "You--"
Carth found himself staring back at himself. The image was old, taken maybe six years ago. His arms were around his wife, their son was wedged between them and they were all grinning like idiots. Arod had taken the holo, transferred it to canvas and covered it in red paint. They'd been so happy then and now the only sign of that were the trace details in vein blue that fought against all that red. Carth wanted to throw up.
"You need to take that down," he managed to finally say.
Arod shook his head. "You don't understand."
"Take that phoqing thing down now," Carth repeated.
"I knew you wouldn't understand." His brother sounded sad.
"You are exploiting my wife and my child," Carth ground out. "You're banking on my life, Arod."
"I had a feeling you'd hate it." Arod's sips had turned into long pulls. His little plasteel cup was empty. "But you deal with things your way, Carth and I'll deal with them mine. You can't change that."
Arod was right. He couldn't. But what Carth could do was take the painting off the wall and put his fist through it. It felt sickly comical how being around family could revert them both to thirteen year olds.
Arod's gaze avoided the destroyed painting and stayed locked on his brother. "Feel better?" he asked.
"No, I don't," Carth said. "I need to, I think-- I'm just going to leave."
Arod shook his head and glanced at the chronometer on the wall. "I'm trapped here for another two hours, but let me buy you dinner afterwards."
"I'll pass," Carth muttered.
"Burgers and fries," Arod said. "No fancy, rich people food."
Carth raked a hand over his hair before he crossed his arms again. "I don't need your handouts."
His brother ignored him. "There's a place maybe a block from here called Girk's. I'll be there in two hours for a nerf burger smothered in cheese and bacon. I'd like you to be there, too."
"There's a lot of things I'd like that I don't get, too," Carth said. "This was a mistake."
Arod didn't say anything after that. He just took to staring at his painting with a hole punched into the middle. Carth just shook his head and hurried out of the claustrophobic corridors blanketed with loud paintings of nothing. He didn't like the looks he was getting from everyone at the exhibit. They could just sip at their plasteel cups of cheap wine and pretend like they could really see something worthwhile in painted blocks of color. Some people were actually trapped in the real world.

Pre-Machined Insulator Sheets suit standard mold bases.D-M-E Company Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
Aug 14, 2013 Available in ¼ or ½ in. thicknesses, Insulator Sheets are used on molds and dies between top clamping plate and stationary platen and between bottom of ejector housing and movable platen. Made of asbestos-free material with max service temperature of 550°F, sheets include pre-machined locating ring clearance hole, assembly screw clearance holes, and mounting holes. Thermal insulating properties of glass-reinforced polymer composite inhibit heat transfer from mold to platen or from platen to mold.
Keyed Ejector Pins accommodate thicker plates.D-M-E Company Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
Dec 12, 2012 Made from thermal shock-resistant hotwork steel, EXK Keyed Ejector Pins prevent rotation during injection molding process. Precision machining creates key on head of pin to hold pin in place, eliminating damage to parts being molded or mold base itself. Pre-keyed pins also eliminate need for secondary machining. While core of pins has hardness of 40–45 HRC, OD is nitrided to 65–74 HRC; design withstands stress of industrial use. Pins come in 1/8–1 in. dia and 6–25 in. lengths.

Jun 18, 2012 Delivering responsive control for precise, sophisticated molding, 16-Zone Hydraulic Valve Gate Sequencer features PLC touchscreen that lets users save and load mold recipes. Visual icons show valve position for each zone, circular log shows last 200 changes, and dual-time functions allow each zone to be programmed with delay-time and on-time. Along with external alarm contact, controller features Manual Mode that can turn all outputs on/off and cycle time on/off.
Part Ejection Tool minimizes mold construction time.D-M-E Company Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
May 28, 2010 Able to reduce mold construction time, Quick Strip eliminates need for ejector plates and pins, risers, and clamping plates. Absence of ejector pin holes also lends to cooling systems optimization and accelerated cycle times. Because this tool lifts part from mold cavity without leaving any marks, overall aesthic quality of part is ensured.
Plastic Baffles promote uniform flow of mold coolant.D-M-E Company Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
May 28, 2010 Made entirely with engineering grade thermoplastic-glass reinforced polypthalamide, Turbulent Flow Plastic Baffles create turbulence within glycol-based mold coolant, increasing heat transfer and cooling parts evenly and quickly. Baffles can be cut to length with standard shears and are designed to maintain rigidity and other properties at high temperatures over time. Incorporating Turbulent Flow Plastic Baffles into mold's design eliminates stagnant laminar flow.

-- Robert Preidt
TUESDAY, Aug. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Many American parents are
worried that the large amount of time teens spend immersed in
electronic media makes it difficult to discuss the dangers of risky
behavior such as drug and alcohol use, a new study indicates.
The Partnership for a Drug-Free America surveyed more than 1,200
parents and found that more than one-third are concerned about how
TV (38 percent), computers (37 percent) and video games (33
percent) hinder parent-child communications.
More than one-quarter of parents are also worried about new
forms of media such as cell phone texting (27 percent), and social
networking sites such as Facebook (25 percent) and Twitter (19
A Kaiser Family Foundation study released earlier this year
found that young people (aged 8 to 18) spend an average of 53 hours
a week using electronic media. It also found that the more time
they spend with electronic media, the less happy they tend to be.
The heaviest users of electronic media also tended to get lower
grades in school.
"These new findings present a unique opportunity for parents to play a more active role in what their kids are watching, monitor how they are spending their time online and remain aware of the impact all of this media consumption is having on their impressionable teens," Steve Pasierb, president of the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, said in an organization news release.
"We know that kids today are bombarded with pro-drug and drinking messages via everything from song lyrics, movies and video games, to social networking sites. Videos of kids abusing cough medicine and common household products to get high are all too accessible online and that's why it's more important than ever for parents to break through the media noise and make their voices heard," he added.
One way for parents to do that is to use electronic devices to
connect with their teens to begin and maintain a dialogue about
avoiding risky behaviors. While not as good as an in-person
conversation, parents can use e-mail, cell phones and texting to
begin a dialogue with a reluctant teen, and to reinforce safety
messages at times when teen drug use and drinking is more likely,
such as after school, on weekends and during unsupervised
To help parents, the Partnership offers a free, downloadable
guide called "Time to Text," which provides advice on how to text
and offers examples of messages to send to teens. The guide can be
found at TimeToTalk.org.
"Some parents may still feel apprehensive about embracing media and technology as a way of communicating with their children, but in today's world it is vital that they connect with their kids in any way possible," Pasierb said.

By NICK TABORAssociated Press
Delegates passed the bill 130-0 Friday morning.
Among several competing versions that went to the House Judiciary Committee, committee members chose one filed by Del. Luiz Simmons. It sets the penalties at two years in prison and a $500 fine. Another bill by Del. John Cardin included significantly stiffer penalties, including five years imprisonment.
Revenge porn is the practice of posting an ex-lover's nude photos on the Internet. However, Simmons' bill applies to any image of a person that causes "serious emotional distress" when another person maliciously posts it online, whether or not the image is nude.
Simmons said he believes this bill could serve as a model for other states.

text: MERRILL, WI (WSAU) - A vehicle was destroyed by fire Friday morning just north of Merrill. Lincoln County Sheriff's deputies say a van was fully engulfed in flames just after 9:00 a.m. on Doering Drive. Nobody was injured and no structures were threatened by the fire. Merrill Fire Department put out the blaze, which is still under investigation.

My wife and I were simply overjoyed with this cruise. Yes, it's an older ship, but I can't imagine how the experience could have been handled better. The service to the room was outstanding., The maitre'd, Joseph, made dining fun and entertaining. The first few nights, I didn't tip the bartenders to see if I would continue to get good service . I did, so I made it up to them. The Unexsco dolphin encounter was great. I will say the snorkeling tour was kind overrated. You were basically paying for equipment rental and a very brief how-to session. There was no tour.
That aside, the food was great, the service was great, and the crew did everything possible to make it a wonderful experience. I can't say enough about the Unexsco dolphin encounter. You could tell they really cared for the animals.
I loved everything about this cruise, even down to the little towel animals on the bed every night. The food was great, both in the dining room and room service. I don't gamble, but my gambling shipmates had good things to say about the casino. The MoTown tribute was great, as was the tribute to British Music.
I think I left claw marks as I was leaving the ship!
Advice: You have two disembarkation options: Self-assist or letting them handle the bags. Take the latter option! The self-assist appeared chaotic. Take the "leisurely disembarkation" option and stay and have a late breakfast. They assign you "zones" and the groups are much smaller than through the disembarkation option.
The Serenity Deck is for adults only. No rap music! We enjoyed hanging there immensely.
The bow area of the ship was not open to passengers. I don't know if that's regular or due to repairs that were obviously ongoing.
The waterslide was a blast.
One criticism of the ship: Things aren't well marked. You just have to figure out how to get places. I was still finding connections our last day there, even though I like to roam and study places.
The crew took pride in their work and really tried to give a good experience. I was lost one day and a man came over to ask if we needed help. I later saw a display and realized he was the head of the customer-service crew. That was a nice surprise. The crew was as friendly as they could have been.

Newborn Screening Tests
The purpose of newborn tests is to screen for serious treatable diseases. Most of the disorders are genetic (inherited). The tests are usually done before the baby leaves the hospital. If the tests are done earlier than 24 hours after the baby is born, a repeat test is recommended at 1 to 2 weeks of age.
The newborn screening tests which are done in the United States a are decided on a state-by-state basis. The most common newborn screening tests in the US include those for hypothyrodism (underactivity of the thyroid gland), PKU (phenylketonuria), galactosemia, and sickle cell disease. Testing for hypothyroidism and PKU is required in virtually all States. Screening for galactosemia and sickle cell disease is required in most states.
Some states in the US mandate tests for other conditions. These include: maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), homocystinuria, biotinidase deficiency, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, MCAD, tyrosinemia, cystic fibrosis, and toxoplasmosis. All these tests are usually done using the same sample of the baby's blood.
Congenital Hypothyroidism
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
A baby with PKU is given a special formula and later is a diet that is low in phenylalanine. Dietary reatment started in the first few weeks of life can prevent the consequences of the disease and avoid the brain damage and learning disabilities.
The elimination of galactose from the child's diet, by avoiding milk and milk products, leads to dramatic improvement and in time the clinical consequences of the disease decrease or disappear.
Sickle Cell Disease
The laboratory test for sickle cell disease is also designed to screen for other disorders (such as thalassemia and hemoglobin E) of hemoglobin (the oxygen carrier in red blood cells).
Maple Syrup Urine Disease
Biotinidase Deficiency
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

Does it feel like more of your paycheck is going to pay to fuel up your vehicle? According to the US Energy Information Administration, it is. Last year, the average US household paid $2,912 for gasoline, which represents almost four percent of the average household annual income. The government agency notes that this is the highest percentage of household income spent on fuel in almost 30 years (save 2008, when the numbers were similar).
Oddly enough, US gas consumption fell to its lowest level since 2001, but gas prices have risen dramatically over the last couple of years to take a bigger bite out of our paychecks – 26.1 percent alone in 2011 and another 3.3 percent in 2012. Last year's 3.3 percent fuel price increase was slightly more than the 2.9 percent increase in household income. The one thing we can't blame this on is modern cars. Despite the fact the average US household's travel has increased "significantly" since the '80s, vehicles are now more efficient than ever.

The Boston Red Sox have officially announced Friday night's game against the Royals has been postponed and, to make up for Friday, the teams will play a doubleheader on Sunday.
A tweet from their account was made about 2 p.m.:
"OFFICIAL: Tonight's Red Sox game at Fenway Park scheduled for 7:10pm has been postponed to support efforts of law enforcement officers."
The Kansas City Royals are in lockdown in their hotel overlooking the site of the Boston Marathon bombings.
The Royals, like most of Boston, have been told to stay put. The situation has especially come home to the team because some of the hotel room overlooks Boylston Street where the finish line was.
"We've just been told to stay put," said Mike Swanson, vice president of communications for the team, who can see the debris from his room. "We are following orders. Everybody is just biding their time."
In light of the horror in Boston, Swanson said the team is keeping perspective and knows there are a lot more things going on in Boston than a baseball game, even if it's the city's beloved Red Sox.
"Let's get this situation handled first, and then we will worry if the game goes on or not," he said.
The Royals' thoughts are with everyone impacted by the tragedy.
The first pitch for Saturday's game was at 12:10 p.m.
The first game on Sunday starts at 12:35 p.m. and the second one is set for 6 p.m.

A jury today found Tom Petters guilty of all 20 felony counts, ending the largest fraud case in Minnesota state history.
Petters, wearing a dark gray suit, white shirt and burgundy tie, showed no emotion as the verdict was read late this afternoon by U.S. District Judge Richard Kyle. Sentencing is expected in a couple of months.
Petters, 52, a well-known entrepreneur who founded Petters Group Worldwide and ran the empire from his Minnetonka headquarters, watched it all collapse a year ago.
The jury of seven women and five men deliberated more than 30 hours to reach a verdict following a 17-day trial filled with weeping witnesses, confrontational cross-examinations and several hours of secretly taped recordings from Petters' corporate offices.The 20 felony fraud counts stem from a $3.5 billion Ponzi scheme that imploded in September 2008 after more than 50 federal agents from the IRS and FBI raided Petters' corporate headquarters in Minnetonka.
He had portrayed one of his businesses — Petters Co. Inc. — as a buyer and seller of massive amounts of consumer electronics. While investors believed the business to be highly lucrative, prosecutors showed that very little real merchandise ever changed hands, and the scheme depended on constant, huge inflows of cash from new investors.
The jury rejected Petters' contention that associates had orchestrated the scheme without his knowledge. Petters had taken the stand during the trial, engaging in

Who Wore It Red-er- A very pink toned red. Leans more pink on my lips.
A Plum Prospect- Soft berry with a bit of brightness. Most pigmented.
Pink Possibilities- Baby pink which looks a bit creamy.
I find these to be more pigmented than the L'Oreal Caresse lippies that I personally own but not as moisturizing as those or the Maybelline Baby Lips. The texture of these shades is definitely a jelly. In fact, if you've ever had to clean jelly off a table these look super similar. They feel a bit like that on the lips as well so they provide some moisture but not loads.
The color payoff on these varies & I feel like they are mostly decent when you apply a few layers. You do need a mirror, don't expect you don't with the deeper or brighter shades. I've heard some people say their shades smell like candy or fruity pebbles...I smell fruity pebbles on some & no scent at all on others. I prefer this to the scent of the original Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks either way.
As far as wear goes, I find that the shine doesn't last as long as with the Revlon Lip Butters. It fades more quickly. I find that the pigmentation on these is great for what they are supposed to do. Notice above that Maybelline calls them a weightless gel & not a full form lipstick. I like that with one or two swipes, I have sheer color. A few more & my lips definitely look more saturated.
I like these but they don't kill the Revlon Lip Butters for me. If I'm going to use a mirror anyway, I'll likely still reach for those out of habit. For moisture, I'll still reach for a tinted lib balm like those from Burt's Bees, Palladio, or Maybelline Baby Lips. They don't have as many color options as the Whispers or as glossy looking but they feel like they do more. I like these for a more sheer color though, especially Plum Prospect since some plums can be so overwhelmingly fall/winter.
What do you think of the Maybelline Color Whispers? Have you tried them? What are your favorite shades?

4 bargain chemical stocks
The cyclical industry has several big macro factors working for it.
We all know who makes the products that play huge roles in Americans' daily lives -- the Apples, Coca-Colas, Exxon Mobils and Hondas of the world. But do you know who makes the products used to make those companies' well-known products?
In many cases, the answer to that question is chemical companies. From plastics to fuel additives to food flavorings, chemical companies have a hand in many, if not most, of the products that you can find throughout your home or office every day. And right now, chemical manufacturers have a couple major factors working in their favor.
First, the rise of fracking in the U.S. has made natural gas more abundant and cheaper. Natural gas is one of the key ingredients in a myriad of products made by chemical companies, and it's also a major source of power they use in creating their products. Cheap natural gas therefore can mean wide profit margins for many of these companies.
In addition, as the nascent U.S. housing recovery continues, demand for many construction products that are created with the help of chemicals -- paint, glass, and polyurethane, to name just a few -- should continue to rise.
Of course, there are concerns to consider as well. Chemical stocks tend to be quite cyclical, so the slowing growth in China and potential problems with the U.S. fiscal cliff are risk factors. But some of those fears already appear baked into valuations, with the chemical manufacturing industry sporting an overall price-to-earnings ratio of just 13.5. And in terms of individual chemical plays, my Guru Strategies (computer models that are each based on the approach of a different investing great) are finding several that look very intriguing right now.
Here are a few that get particularly high marks from these strategies. Keep in mind that these types of stocks should be considered within a broader, well-diversified portfolio.
Stepan Company (SCL)
Based in Illinois, Stepan makes a variety of chemicals, ranging from surfactants used in cleaning products, to polymers used in the construction and auto industries, to specialty products such as natural flavorings. The company has a market cap of about $1 billion, and gets strong interest from two of my strategies. My James O'Shaughnessy-based approach likes that it has upped earnings per share in each year of the past half-decade, and that it has a key tandem of qualities: a high relative strength (78) and a low price-to-sales ratio (0.56). These indicate that the stock is getting some love from investors, but hasn't yet gotten too pricey.
My Peter Lynch-based model likes Stepan's impressive 41.6% long-term earnings per share growth rate. (I use an average of the three-, four-, and five-year earnings per share growth rates to determine a long-term rate.) Lynch famously used the price-to-earnings-to-growth ratio to find bargain-priced growth stocks, and when we divide Stepan's 14.4 price-to-earnings ratio by that long-term growth rate, we get a PEG of 0.35. That falls into this model's best-case category (below 0.5).
Balchem Corporation (BCPC)
Based in New York State, Balchem makes specialty performance ingredients and products for the food, nutritional, pharmaceutical and medical sterilization industries, with end-users including both humans and animals. It has a market cap just under $1 billion, and it gets strong interest from my Warren Buffett-inspired model. A few reasons: It has increased earnings in nine of past 10 years (with the lone dip coming nine years ago); it has no long-term debt; and it has averaged a 10-year return on equity of almost 17%.
Sasol Limited (SSL)
Sasol, based in South Africa, makes a wide range of chemicals, as well as liquid fuels and electricity. It operates in more than three dozen countries around the globe.
Sasol ($28 billion market cap) gets strong interest from my Lynch-based model. The strategy likes Sasol's 4.8% dividend yield and yield-adjusted PEG of 0.68. (For large, slow or moderate growth companies, Lynch added dividend yield to the "G" portion of the PEG.)
NewMarket Corporation (NEU)
Based in Virginia, NewMarket ($3.4 billion market cap) began as a paper company 145 years ago. Today, it develops chemical additives that make fuels burn cleaner, engines run smoother, and machines last longer.
NewMarket has been growing earnings per share at a 39.7% rate over the long-term, a big reason why my Lynch-based model likes the stock. In addition, it trades for a reasonable 15.5 times earnings, which makes for an excellent 0.39 PEG ratio.
I'm long SSL, SCL, and NEU.

Some federal bucks on their way?
The local law enforcement community is applauding another effort by the Washington congressional delegation to get federal funds to deal with border-related crime.
"This has been one of the county executive's highest priorities," said Whatcom County deputy administrator Dewey Dessler.
"We spend about $2.5 million every year in county law enforcement and justice costs on border-related cases."
On November 3 Senator Maria Cantwell and Congressman Rick Larsen introduced in their respective houses of Congress the Northern Border Prosecution Initiative Reimbursement Act.
If approved, the bill would reserve $28 million for communities along the northern border who are now paying the cost of holding and prosecuting most of the border-related criminal activity.
"We can't keep sticking financially-strapped local communities with the bill for prosecuting federal crimes on the northern border," Cantwell said in a November 4 statement.
"If we're going to make sure our border stays secure, we need seamless cooperation between state and federal governments, and we need to get federal support to the local level."
In his request to the federal government for funding assistance, county executive Pete Kremen said 85 percent of criminal apprehensions at or near local borders are turned over to the county for prosecution.
Emily Langlie with the U.S. attorney's office in Seattle confirmed her office declines to prosecute a significant number of cases at the border, leaving smaller busts and warrant extradition to local courts.
"We encounter people on a daily basis who have wants or warrants and we turn them over to Whatcom County," said Customs and Border Protection public information officer Mike Milne.
When the federal government declines to prosecute a case local authorities can either release the individual or take on the burden of prosecution themselves.
"The Whatcom County criminal justice system is starting to stagger under this load, and should receive assistance from the federal government," Kremen said.
He also pointed out a federal reimbursement program exists, in Texas to help counties struggling with the burden of border-related crime.
"Southwest border communities aren't expected to foot the bill for federal cases. Our cash-strapped local communities shouldn't be either," said Larsen. If the bill passes local cities like Blaine will also be able to apply for federal help paying the local cost of border-related crimes.
Abbey Levenshus,
communications director for Larsen, agreed.
"It comes down to an issue of fairness," she said. "It's not much of a choice, release them into your community or take up the slack."
The Northern Border Prosecution Initiative Reimbursement Act was introduced to Congress the day after Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced a nationwide plan to tighten the net at the border.
"We will address all aspects of the border security problem across the board – deterrence, detection, response, apprehension, detention, and removal."
Returning from a November 8 meeting of federal agencies and local partners, Joe Giuliano with the Blaine Sector border patrol said a beefier border might lead to fewer, instead of more, cases destined for prosecution which could lighten the load on everyone.
"In the long run by having more agents and more technology we hope to have a greater deterrent effect," he said. "In the interim we may have to prepare for a spike at the beginning."
Cantwell communications
director Charla Newman said she's hopeful
the reimbursement plan will pass, which
it failed to do three years ago.
"It has bi-partisan support and we think that will give it a lift," she said.

After months of hard work and frantic insanity, it's finally here. The Black will be released September 16, 2014 in e-book on Amazon and in paperback sometime next week. For now, here's the cover and the blurb. Hope you're looking forward to reading it. Thank you Severed Press for making all this happen. I am honored to be in their stable.
Under 30,000 feet of water, the exploration rig Leaguer has discovered
an oil field larger than Saudi Arabia, with oil so sweet and pure,
nations would go to war for the rights to it. But as the team starts
drilling exploration well after exploration well in their race to
claim the sweet crude, a deep rumbling beneath the
ocean floor shakes them all to their core. Something has been living
in the oil and it's about to give birth to the greatest threat
humanity has ever seen.
"The Black" is a techno/horror-thriller that puts the horror and
action of movies such as Leviathan and The Thing right into readers'
hands. Ocean exploration will never be the same.

Blaine's winning streak ends in Burlington match
After working its way to the best mid-season mark in years, Blaine got dumped like a sack of trash by a good but not overpowering Burlington offense, losing a key Northwest Conference game 30-8 at home last Friday and slipped to a 4-2 record over-all. In 2A play they are right at .500 with a 2-2 record, losing to both Lynden and now Burlington.
It's the first real lapse in what has otherwise been a powerfully executed season for a team that with 25 seniors ought to be able on any given day to match anyone in the league. Blaine has the best ground game in the conference, and several players are at or near the top in offensive stats. Two or three are likely candidates for all-league notice.
But Friday was one long "welcome to the NFL" moment as Blaine played, failing to finish plays defensively and getting blown off the line offensively. They were dominated by a team that, like Lynden, does not allow their opponent's mistakes to go unchallenged.
Dylan Haines played most of the way at quarterback to provide a modicum of an air attack for the Borderites, and he ended up with a respectable 93 yards passing offense. McCabe and Bohnson were way below par, getting just 123 yards rushing between them as opposed to the four hundred and change they got last week.
Blaine's normally reliable as a rooster Patrick Mulholland shanked a field goal try early in the first quarter and after that it was all Burlington, though Blaine had its moments. The first of quarterback Dylan Haines's two intercepted passes came with eight minutes left in the second quarter and led to a Burlington field goal. Toward the end of the second quarter Ben Bohnson ran for two first downs in a row as Blaine marched from its own 38 down to the Burlington one yard line, but a second interception kept them from scoring.
Blaine received the kick in the third quarter and again marched downfield with the precision of Patton going after Rommel in the desert, but with a fourth and goal at the five a Burlington linebacker went unblocked and hit Haines in the shoulder, jarring the ball lose for Burlington guard Josh Lott to gather in and lumber 90 yards for a touchdown. Burlington would score again before Blaine finally got one across against a team which by time was mostly Burlington's sophomore third string.
There's not a lot to say after
that except to put the Borderites back up on their horse
for a must-win against Anacortes 7 p.m. Friday, October
12. The Borderites figure to do well against the Seahawks
in the soggy mosh pit they use for a stadium, but to do
that, and keep their playoff hopes alive, they'll
have to show up.
Lady B's lose two with Burlington, Sehome
After getting shellacked by Burlington 7-nil last week the Lady B's played a powerful and undefeated Sehome team dead even for almost all of their penultimate home game this season before losing on a flukey goal 1-0.
As with last year Blaine's schedule is easy in the beginning before ramping up big-time in the middle. With Sehome Blaine faced the league's leading scorer, Mari Tarleton (19 goals) but brought the second leading scorer, Bailey Richardson (10 goals), to face her. Sehome had just come off a 5-0 pasting of Anacortes (Blaine's road opponent at 2 p.m. Saturday, October 13), and has outscored their opponents 41-8 thus far.
Blaine played as well as they have all season in keeping the Sehome side out of their net for the first 68 minutes, Bre Olason giving way more than she got from the speedy but intimidated Mariners marking her and Alison Raine playing inspired defense in the gentle rain.
Janelle Gobbato covered her area like a cannonball, stopping many hard shots from a team with a lot of year-round players. The goal that went in off the foot of Riley Marcus was what coach Dan Steelquist likes to call a pinball goal: "The ball gets to bouncing around in there and glances off someone's shin ... Janelle did a great job in goal, though, stopping all the hard shots on goal and keeping us in the game." The one that scored was not even an intentional shot by Sehome, a slow roller that got by Gobbato when she zigged instead of zagged.
now 4-8, next plays Bellingham Thursday, October 11 at
4 p.m. at the northwest soccer complex near Smith Road
and Northwest Avenue. Their final home game of the year
is Tuesday, October 11, at the Pipe against Lynden.
Volleyball falls short of victory
In a season that head coach Nikki Hallberg called frustrating, Blaine volleyballers went winless over last week dropping contests to unbeaten Burlington and to a Sehome team they might have beaten with a bit more focus and mental toughness.
At Burlington the scores were one sided – 11-25, 13-25 and 6-25 – although freshman setter Libby Moore garnered 10 assists and sophomore Taylor Trueblood continued to develop her attacking ways from her usual spot opposite the opposing team's setter.
When Blaine had the serve they managed a consistent 90 percent. They just didn't get it often enough to make a dent in the Burlington juggernaut.
"We had an opportunity to beat a team that's pretty much on our same level," said Hallberg, but the match slipped away in little ways here and there with unforced errors and balls sailing wide of or beyond the mark. Trueblood, again, was an exception, going 10 out of 11 with her hitting with 1 kill. Middle hitter Maria Swansen went 13 for 14 and two kills.
The team is in good shape physically with Alex Hendricks-Hockey coming back from a two-month arm injury just in time to face Bellingham at home on Thursday, October 11 at 7.
"It's a big game on Thursday against Bellingham," Hallberg said, "because like us they haven't won a league match either so we're playing for the last place to get into district playoffs. We are due, we are staying positive and we will continue to get better."
Borderite Scoreboard
For the week of October 12 - 18
