Floods have halved Pakistan's economic growth
Three years of repeated floods have inflicted serious damage on Pakistan's economy, halving its potential economic growth, an expert says.
"The impact of floods on Pakistan's economy is colossal as the economy grew on average at a rate of 2.9 percent per year during the last three years," said Ishrat Husain, an economist and director of the Institute of Business Administration in Karachi.
That is less than half the 6.5 percent that Pakistan could potentially have managed if it weren't facing the economic and human losses associated with the flooding, Husain said.
Flooding is hardly the only impediment to economic growth in the troubled South Asian country. Worsening power shortages, "a poor law and order situation and a host of other structural impediments" also are holding back investment and growth, Husain said.
But extreme weather presents an especially worrying economic challenge, he said, because the country can work to reduce its energy crisis and improve law in order, but has limited scope to avert natural calamities, other than trying to devise effective mechanisms to minimise its losses.

Whats the point of weekday shifts when all your customers are at work?
So i ended up going to NTB (which they are like 15% more money) as they were the only other tire place that stocked the tires I wanted. NTB is horrible and slow for everything, but oh well.
You could be right but you was the one that waited for it to rain before you bought tires. For your information it took pepboy's over 2 hours the replace all 4 of my tires.--Caddy
Im only counting the time they put my car on the lift and started working.The lift time was 2.5 hours.They can change all 4 tires and do an alignment in under hour, 1.5 at a very slow pace.There were no issues with my car that slowed them down.Also will their extra time they still could not follow the directions (I stressed on the inside) and put the weights on the outside of alloy rims which makes absolutely no sense.You always put them on the inside unless there are hub caps. They could even superglue weights on the inside of the tire if they had to, but you never stick weights on the outside of rims that dont have hub caps.--...brought to you by Carl's Jr.
I was talking about Pep boys. I would know about the other place except discount tires. I been dealing with discount tire for the last 25 years.--Caddy
I like pep boys, last time they changed my tires, balanced, and alignment was an hour of lift time (about 2 years ago). I waited for 10 minutes before they pulled my car in.They were just as fast in orlando when I change my tires before that.--...brought to you by Carl's Jr.
That was the first and last time I use Pepboys for Tire replacement I probable will not alive for my next tire replacement.--Caddy
That was the first and last time I use Pepboys for Tire replacement I probable will not alive for my next tire replacement.
I only buy Generals tire's and I usually go to Discount tire but this time I ordered my tires from tire rack. I had them shipped to Pep Boys for the mounting.--Caddy
Costco is my preferred choice. Good value; free install, balance, and nitrogen fills. Rotations are free. Great service as a bonus. I do call to check service levels, though. --Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.
So we are about the same age. I guess mine is from the Irish and Indian in me. I was only a E4 but in charge of of 12 men.--Caddy
I believe Costco only sell Good year and uniroyal tires. You can not give me Goodyear tires. Uniroyal are way to much for me. Generals to me have better traction and cheaper prices. I just put 4 General G-MAX AS-03.--Caddy
Here, they sell Michelin's, Bridgestone's, and a few others.
I believe Costco only sell Good year and uniroyal tires. You can not give me Goodyear tires. Uniroyal are way to much for me. Generals to me have better traction and cheaper prices. I just put 4 General G-MAX AS-03.
You must be talking about Katy Tx. Every place else in the USA most are closed.
Closing during the week would be the death of the store, from the figures we have shows that during the week foot traffic is high, during the weekends, especially sundays it's dead and we would do not business.So no I will not be doing that during the weeks, it's business suicide.
You know, there's a whole lot more I want to say, but I'm going to play peacemaker here.Do you work weekends? If so, I don't see why you would be complaining, if you don't, then I definitely don't think you understand that people need time off. I realize that this is a rant, and you are here to blow off some steam, but this sense of "entitlement" is a bit misplaced here. Why not put the tires on yourself and have another shop balance them for you on the following Saturday? Am I missing something here? You are complaining about a company that "lost" a sale because they weren't open on a Sunday, so it wasn't convenient for you. Get over it. Sorry to be blunt, but I don't get my jammies all up in a whammy because of a minor inconvenience. This is America. We have it great here. If I say more, I know my post will be moderated, so I'm going to stop now.--"We will evaluate these integrals rigorously if we can, and non-rigorously if we must".---Victor Moll, invited talk, Tom Osler Fest (April 17, 2010)
So we are about the same age. I guess mine is from the Irish and Indian in me. I was only a E4 but in charge of of 12 men.
If the store's reputation is so good, people usually put up with odd hours. Adorama Camera and B&H Camera in NY abide by all Jewish rules. Big notices during holidays that they will be closed. Lost many customers? I think not.Hobby Lobby closes on Sundays. Stores are usually busy during other times, so they should be doing OK.Large motorcycle dealer closed Sunday and Monday. Hasn't hurt business.We have always just worked around schedules.

Duplicate Context menu entries in Start menu
I don't know if this is a widespread problem, but I just noticed that I have duplicate context menu entries for "Files" and "Programs" that are reached by typing into the search box at the Start menu. See attached screenshot. This doesn't apply to Control Panel items, Videos, Documents, Music, etc.
Any solutions?

A long standing issue (XP also) with the context menu when accessed from certain locations.
One menu is appearing for the target, one for the link.
If you right click the offending item - check properties - you will see that your viewing the link, not the actual file.
Wierd, huh?
If I recall, I could avoid the problem if there were no "customizations" in the context menu.
I also remember a connection to the shortcut arrow. With the arrow shown, no doubling.
I really don't remember why it does that. One of the two.

64-bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise
Hello Strategist, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You might see if the free program ShellExView may have these Context Menu "types" listed twice. If so, you can disable them to see if that stops them from duplicating.
If not, then you might try a System Restore using a restore point dated before this happened to see if it can fix it.
Hope this helps,

Windows 7 Professional x64
Four years(!) on and I appear to have exactly the same problem. Same OS (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit), same context links (7-Zip and Notepad++), latest versions.
The problem seems to be confined to shortcut links. And as mentioned by Antman, only when viewed from certain locations. For instance, all shortcuts within the Documents library (some kind of symbolic link) show this problem. However, navigating to the real location of these shortcuts and examining the context menu is OK.
ShellExView (link above) does not appear to show anything unusual as far as I can tell.
In fact, the duplicate context links are different. The first one refers to the destination of the shortcut (as you would expect), however, the second context menu entry refers to the shortcut (file) itself!! If I pick the second "Edit with Notepad++" menu item on a shortcut that links to a simple text file then I end up editing the binary shortcut file and not the destination text file!

Points, Lines, Planes, and Space Help (page 3)
Introduction to Plane Geometry
Solid geometry involves points, lines, and planes. The difference between plane geometry and solid geometry is the fact that there's an extra dimension. This means greater freedom, such as we would enjoy if we had flying cars. It also means that things are more complicated, reflecting the expanded range of maneuvers we would have to master if we had flying cars.
A point in space can be envisioned as an infinitely tiny sphere, having height, width, and depth all equal to zero, but nevertheless possessing a specific location. A point is zero-dimensional (0D). A point in space is just like a point in a plane or a point on a line.
A line can be thought of as an infinitely thin, perfectly straight, infinitely long wire. It is one-dimensional (1D). A line in space is just like a line in a plane, but there are more possible directions in which lines can be oriented in space, as compared with lines confined to a plane.
A plane can be imagined as an infinitely thin, perfectly flat surface having an infinite expanse. A plane is two-dimensional (2D). A plane comprises a "flat 2D universe" in which all the rules of Euclidean plane geometry apply.
Space is the set of points representing all possible physical locations in the universe. Space is three-dimensional (3D). The idiosyncrasies of time, often called a "fourth dimension," are ignored in Euclidean space .
Time - 3D
An alternative form of 3D can be defined in which there are two spatial dimensions and one time dimension. This type of three-space can be thought of as an Euclidean plane that has always existed, exists now, and always will exist.
Hyperspace - 4D
If time is included in a concept of space, we get four-dimensional (4D) space, also known as hyperspace. We'll look at hyperspace later in this book. It, as you can imagine, gives us "hyperfreedom."
Naming Points, Lines, And Planes
Points, lines, and planes in solid geometry are usually named using uppercase, italicized letters of the alphabet, just as they are in plane geometry. A common name for a point is P (for "point"). A common name for a line is L (for "line"). When it comes to planes in 3D space, we must use our imaginations. The letters X, Y , and Z are good choices. Sometimes lowercase, nonitalic letters are used, such as m and n.
When we have two or more points, the letters immediately following P are used, for example Q, R, and S . If two or more lines exist, the letters immediately following L are used, for example M and N . Alternatively, numeric subscripts can be used. We might have points called P 1, P 2, P 3, and so forth, lines called L 1, L 2, L 3, and so forth, and planes called X 1, X 2, X 3, and so forth.
Point and Line Principles
Three Point Principle
Suppose that P, Q , and R are three different geometric points, no two of which lie on the same line. Then these points define one and only one (a unique or specific) plane X . The following two statements are always true, as shown in Fig. 7-1:
- P, Q , and R lie in a common plane X
- X is the only plane in which all three points lie
In order to show that a surface extends infinitely in 2D, we have to be imaginative. It's not as easy as showing that a line extends infinitely in 1D, because there aren't any good ways to draw arrows on the edges of a plane region the way we can draw them on the ends of a line segment. It is customary to draw planes as rectangles in perspective; they appear as rectangles, parallelograms, or trapezoids when rendered on a flat page. This is all right, as long as it is understood that the surface extends infinitely in 2D.
Intersecting Line Principle
Suppose that lines L and M intersect in a point P . Then the two lines define a unique plane X . The following two statements are always true, as shown in Fig. 7-2:
- L and M lie in a common plane X
- X is the only plane in which both lines lie
Line And Point Principle
Let L be a line and P be a point not on that line. Then line L and point P define a unique plane X . The following two statements are always true:
- L and P lie in a common plane X
- X is the only plane in which both L and P lie
Plane Regions, Half Planes, and Intersecting Planes
Plane Regions
The 2D counterpart of the 1D line segment is the simple plane region . A simple plane region consists of all the points inside a polygon or enclosed curve. The polygon or curve itself might be included in the set of points comprising the simple plane region, but this is not necessarily the case. If the polygon or curve is included, the simple plane region is said to be closed . Some examples are denoted in Fig. 7-3A; the boundaries are drawn so they look continuous. If the polygon or curve is not included, the simple plane region is said to be open . In Fig. 7-3B, several examples of open simple plane regions are denoted; the boundaries are dashed.
The respective regions in Figs. 7-3A and 7-3B have identical shapes. They also have identical perimeters and identical interior areas. The outer boundaries do not add anything to the perimeter or the interior area.
These examples show specialized cases, in which the regions are contiguous, or "all of a piece," and the boundaries are either closed all the way around or open all the way around. Some plane regions have boundaries that are closed part of the way around, or in segments; it is also possible to have plane regions composed of two or more non-contiguous sub-regions. Some such plane regions are so complex that they're hard even to define. We won't concern ourselves with such monstrosities, other than to acknowledge that they can exist.
Half Planes
Sometimes, mathematicians talk about the portion of a geometric plane that lies "on one side" of a certain line. In Fig. 7-4, imagine the union of all possible geometric rays that start at L , then pass through line M (which is parallel to L ), and extend onward past M forever in one direction. The region thus defined is known as a half plane .
The half plane defined by L and M might include the end line L , in which case it is closed-ended . In this case, line L is drawn as a solid line, as shown in Fig. 7-4. But the end line might not comprise part of the half plane, in which case the half plane is open-ended . Then line L is drawn as a dashed line.
Parts of the end line might be included in the half plane and other parts not included. There are infinitely many situations of this kind. Such scenarios are illustrated by having some parts of L appear solid, and other parts dashed.
Intersecting Planes
Suppose that two different planes X and Y intersect; that is, they have points in common. Then the two planes intersect in a unique line L . The following two statements are always true, as shown in Fig. 7-5:
- Planes X and Y share a common line L
- L is the only line that planes X and Y have in common
Parallel and Skew Lines
Parallel Lines In 3d Space
By definition, two different lines L and M in three-space are parallel lines if and only if both of the following are true:
- Lines L and M do not intersect
- Lines L and M lie in the same plane X
If two lines are parallel and they lie in a given plane X , then X is the only plane in which the two lines lie. Thus, two parallel lines define a unique plane in Euclidean three-space.
Skew Lines
By definition, two lines L and M in three-space are skew lines if and only if both of the following are true:
- Lines L and M do not intersect
- Lines L and M do not lie in the same plane
Imagine an infinitely long, straight, two-lane highway and an infinitely long, straight power line propped up on utility poles. Further imagine that the power line and the highway center line are both infinitely thin, and that the power line doesn't sag between the poles. Suppose the power line passes over the highway somewhere. Then the center line of the highway and the power line define skew lines.
Points, Lines, Planes, and Space Practice Problems
Find an example of a theoretical plane region with a finite, nonzero area but an infinite perimeter.
Examine Fig. 7-6. Suppose the three lines PQ, RS , and TU (none of which are part of the plane region X , but are shown only for reference) are mutually parallel, and that the distances d 1 , d 2 , d 3 , . . . are such that d 2 = d 1 /2, d 3 = d 2 /2, and in general, for any positive integer n , d ( n +1) = d n /2. Also suppose that the length of line segment PV is greater than the length of line segment PT . Then plane region X has an infinite number of sides, each of which has a length greater than the length of line segment PT , so its perimeter is infinite. But the interior area of X is finite and nonzero, because it is obviously less than the interior area of quadrilateral PQSR but greater than the area of quadrilateral TUSR .
How many planes can mutually intersect in a given line L?
In theory, an infinite number of planes can all intersect in a common line. Think of the line as an "Euclidean hinge," and then imagine a plane that can swing around this hinge. Each position of the "swinging plane" represents a unique plane in space.
Practice problems for these concepts can be found at: Points, Lines, and Planes Practice Test.

It's that time again! Time for prom and wedding season and all of the updos and pretty hairstyles that come with it! This is one of the most popular hairstyles on our site that has been getting a lot of attention, so we thought we would give you the instructions that could allow you to create this at-home, with as little as a large barrel curling iron, finishing spray and pins that can be used to pin back the luxurious and flowing locks.
The first element to this hairstyle is to create the curls that are going to cascade down the back. Separate the hair into a bottom and top section and use clips to pin the top section to the head to be styled later. Curl the bottom section, wrapping small and larger pieces of hair around the barrel to obtain fresh curls.
Next, after the bottom of the hair has been curled it is time to create the sleek layer that comes with the top of this style. The front layers of the hair, including the bangs should be combed back. Backcombing a layer of the hair under the top can help to achieve this look and ensure that your hair stays all night long. Smooth with the comb and apply professional finishing spray such as Tigi Bedhead hard head to ensure that the style stays in place. Use pins to secure the sides and top, hiding these pins in the hair.
The curls that were first created can also be pinned, halfway through to create a cascading effect down the back.
This look is perfect for a bold pair of earrings, or a bright prom dress. You are sure to be the belle of the ball with this style.
To finish the style, use a shine spray to create the maximum glamorous effects for the style. You will find that with a little work and the right products, this style can easily be created, at home!
Next, take the ends of the hair that have been pulled back and create three to four large curls from the sections of this hair. These curls are going to be pinned to the updo and can help to disguise any pins that have been placed to secure the hair.
Tip: If you have hair that just does not want to curl, or have fine hair that straightens after any given time, curl as usual and pin the bottom of the curls to the back of the head, creating a style that has staying power!

Celebrities spotted with glamorous retro hairstyles
Believe it or not, even the 80's are having some influence on today's retro hairstyles. Fashion icon Kate Moss was photographed at the red carpet premiere of her perfume line with big, stiff hair. Maybe there is no such thing as a "new" hairstyle, but it's a fitting tribute to the women of earlier decades to bring back a retro look and remind everyone what old school glamour really is.
Retro hairstyles are hot right now, These looks are pure glamour, and they are fun choices for everyday glamour, special occasions, weddings, and proms. You could even work a more extreme retro hairstyle, like Swiss Miss braids into a party costume.
No discussion of 1940's hairstyles would be complete without the Victory Rolls hairstyle:
Step One
Decide which style of victory roll you want to do - both suit all face shapes and can really transform a look! Once you have decided on the position of your rolls, part your hair … central is usually best for top reverse rolls and to the side is best for side reverse rolls!
Step Two
Section your hair and tie back all of your hair that you will not be rolling. Remember that the length of your hair can change the size of the roll so bear this in mind when you section it.
Step Three – Side Roll
Hold the hair at full length away from the head. Start rolling the hair around 2 fingers towards the back of your head.
Step Three – Top Roll
Hold the hair at full length away from the head. Start rolling the hair around 2 fingers towards the ceiling.
Step Four
Once you have completely rolled the hair, pin in place and gently remove your fingers. Be sure not to pull the hair from the centre of the roll.
Step Five
Complete all the above actions for the other side if you wish. Style your hair to match the era with large rollers or tongs or go for a large bun or high pony tail.

No swelling today in Ricky Nolasco's knee; Florida Marlins pitcher will start Friday
- 12:39 pm Sunday, August 29th, 2010 by Joe Capozzi
If there was any good news the day after Friday's 12-3 loss, it was the fact that pitcher Ricky Nolasco felt no discomfort or swelling this morning in his right knee.
Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez said he expects Nolasco to finish the season without missing any more starts, even with a torn meniscus in the knee.
Dan Uggla impressed by Florida Marlins historic game-starting homers
- 11:09 pm Friday, August 27th, 2010 by Joe Capozzi
Dan Uggla, the Marlins' all-time franchise home run king, hit his 29th homer of the year tonight. But that's not the blast he was talking about here. He was impressed by Cameron Maybin and Logan Morrison becoming the first Marlins to lead off a game with back-to-back homers in a 7-1 win in Atlanta.
Cameron Maybin may lead off with Hanley Ramirez hitting third for Florida Marlins later this week
- 5:21 pm Tuesday, August 24th, 2010 by Joe Capozzi
The loss of Cody Ross has manager Edwin Rodriguez re-thinking his batting order. The main change: Edwin wants Cameron Maybin to lead off and Hanley Ramirez to hit third — in what could be a preview of next year's batting order.
"It could happen pretty soon. Hopefully this week because, to be honest, I like Hanley Ramirez as the third hitter and not the lead-off guy," Edwin said today.
CSI Pittsburgh: Chad Tracy endures a practical joke, starts tonight for Florida Marlins
- 5:19 pm Wednesday, August 18th, 2010 by Joe Capozzi
Chad Tracy starts at third base tonight for the Marlins, but his pre-game drills started off with a practical joke — a reminder of his near-miss from a foul ball that sent him sprawling for cover last night.
Florida Marlins Talking Points: Ricky Nolasco, the road warrior
- 11:08 pm Tuesday, August 17th, 2010 by Joe Capozzi
Ricky Nolasco struck out 9 over six-plus scoreless innings and went 2-for-3 with 2 RBI. His curveball was working well, which was the key.
Florida Marlins phenom Mike Stanton won't rest on 5-for-5 with 4 RBI
- 11:24 pm Wednesday, August 11th, 2010 by Joe Capozzi
And you thought you were impressed with Mike Stanton's long home run tonight? Hanley Ramirez thinks it might have traveled "close to 500″ feet.
I doubt it went that far. But it was far. Very far. Just listen to Hanley:
Florida Marlins manager gives late-game rest to hot-hitting Hanley Ramirez, Dan Uggla
- 11:03 pm Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 by Joe Capozzi
Pretty neat seeing two great rookies go head-to-head tonight: Mike Stanton struck out in his first at-bat against Stephen Strasburg but then doubled in his next at-bat.
Here's Mike's take on the Marlins handing Strasburg his worst loss of the season in Florida's 8-2 win.
Florida Marlins: Chris Coghlan will have surgery Wednesday, likely out until 2011
- 11:36 am Sunday, August 8th, 2010 by Joe Capozzi
Left-fielder Chris Coghlan just told us he will have surgery Wednesday in Miami to repair the torn meniscus in his left knee. The recovery time is four to eight weeks.
Florida Marlins Talking Points: Edwin Rodriguez calls for expanded instant replay
- 11:44 pm Thursday, August 5th, 2010 by Joe Capozzi
Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez said baseball should expand instant replay on calls that decide the outcome of the game.
Florida Marlins move into tie for third-place with 4-2 win over Padres
- 12:42 am Saturday, July 31st, 2010 by Joe Capozzi
SAN DIEGO – The Marlins moved back over .500 and into a tie for third-place with the New York Mets tonight after beating the Padres, 4-2.
Cody Ross and Gaby Sanchez each hit home runs, and Chris Volstad won for the first time since June 13. "It feels like it's been a while," he said.
The Marlins improved to 10-5 since the All Star break and are 3-2 on their road trip after beating a first-place Padres team that went into the game 20 games over .500.

New retail project slated for Alexandria, Ala.
Pharmacy, bank, other small businesses planned
The genesis of the Valley Crossing idea came from conversations with area residents, he said.
"The way the community came to us was just unreal, they were extremely supportive," Downey said.
"We're just trying to give back to the community."
If anyone should know, it's Downey, who started Downey Drug in 1971.
At the time he was the youngest man in Calhoun County to own a drug store. Now, he said, he is the oldest.
Downey Drug has two locations -- one on U.S. 431 and one on Alabama 202 in Wellborn Plaza -- another development he oversaw -- as well as Downey Medical.
"The people in that community are absolutely incredible," he said. "They are easy to take care of because they are so supportive."

For months, President Obama has been making the case for what he calls the "American values of fair play" and accusing Republicans of pushing policies that unfairly benefit the rich over the middle class.
The message is at the core of the campaign Mr. Obama's aides want to run against Mitt Romney, a man who they believe personifies the advantages wealthy people enjoy in an economy that has struggled for years to recover.
But now it's clear that Mr. Romney is not about to cede fairness to his rival.
In a new argument that he first offered in a primary victory speech on Tuesday, Mr. Romney is laying claim to his own version of the fairness issue. He argues that the policies pursued by Mr. Obama and his Democratic allies are fundamentally unfair to Americans. Read more…

Picking Up Pennies: Leave a Legacy of Financial Stewardship
- Friday, February 08, 2008
1. Let the kiddos see you pay the bills. At least occasionally, sit down with little Jeremy or Judy and say, "Let me show you how Dad and I get the house we live in and pay for the lights." Then explain in simple terms how you have to work a certain number of hours to earn enough money to pay the $140 electric bill. Compare the work time to how much play time it would equate to for the little one.
2. Deny yourself in front of the children. When you see something in a catalog or a store window that you would like to have, but can't afford, tell your children how you feel. Help them understand that even though it makes you sad now, by putting it off, you'll be happier later. (Can we say, deferred gratification?)
3. Price compare at the grocery store. Avoid rushing through the store with a grab-and-go mentality. Pick up similar items at the store and show your tricycle motor how one costs more than the other — and how much you can save by being thoughtful with each purchase.
4. Take a child to work with you if the boss will allow it. Let them sit there (with a book or a quiet game) until they become bored. Then on the way home, help her understand why you do what you do, and how it makes the car and other stuff possible.
5. Explain the decisions you make. When you decide that the budget isn't going to allow for a trip to Disneyworld, tell the kids why you're going to Grandmom's place instead. Help them understand that the money you're saving will be used to help others, or pay some debt down, or send the crumb crunchers to college one day.
One of the most important gifts we parents can give our kids is a legacy of good stewardship. No matter how dismissive your little bambino's are, don't give up on the mission. They may not seem to hear you today, but maybe one day after you've assumed room temperature, they will remember the lesson.

The Hobie Large Rudder Blade for the Pro Angler is a large rudder blade designed by Hobie specifically for Pro Angler kayaks. Consider upgrading your Pro Angler rudder if you want better control in choppy or windy conditions of if you tend to overload the bow of your kayak. The Large Pro Angler Rudder Blade is longer than the traditional rudder blade so it will require some special handling when loading and transporting your boat. If you've experienced poor steering performance on your Pro Angler, the large rudder blade will give you that extra control you need.
|Item #:
|Part Number
this should be standard on all Pro anglers. get this, it will help you steer faster and in harsh conditions you get caught in. i got caught in a storm coming in and was not able to steer pretty much (5 sec to respond) eventually i ended up flipping over on my 2014 (14ft) pro angler. the standard rudder does not do the job in rough conditions. that being said, this was stormy weather and i got caught in it coming in, but having a larger rudder would have been BETTER i ended up losing about $500 worth of stuff and it took me until this date 9/8/14 (i think thats todays date) to replace what i lost. get it, it is a safety issue!
After installing the ruder upgrade I was absolutely amazed how much better the tracking and even the turning was improved. I fish in lakes and the bays the constant wake and waves are si much easier to navigate because of the larger ruder defiantly worth the money.

FRIDAY, Nov. 18 (HealthDay News) -- The difficulty June Stewart
had working vegetables into her day-to-day meals didn't stem from
any aversion to them.
"I love salad and I love broccoli and stuff like that," said Stewart, 67, a Baltimore resident who said her love of vegetables stemmed from her childhood. "We've always eaten a three-course meal -- we were brought up that way -- so we always ate vegetables."
But over the past 23 years, Stewart said, she found it very
difficult to work veggies into her daily diet. She worked as a bus
driver for the Maryland Transit Administration, and the on-the-run
hours of her job required her to eat whatever was handy, rather
than whatever was good for her.
"When I was working, I couldn't work it in that good," said Stewart, who retired in February. "When you're a bus driver, you just eat a lot of snacks because you're running from one bus to the next. I only got vegetables at dinnertime, very seldom any other time, because I'd grab a sandwich or a hot dog or a donut or something."
Vegetables took on a new importance in Stewart's life earlier
this year, however, when her doctor diagnosed her as diabetic.
"I was told if I don't keep right on point, I'll end up taking pills or insulin or whatever," she said. "Once you learn about it, you have to be careful."
Stewart said she discovered a happy coincidence while taking a
class on proper nutrition for diabetics: The vegetables she loved
so much as a child were exactly the type of food she needed to eat
to help keep her blood sugar in check.
Now she regularly hits the supermarket and farmer's market to
buy collard greens, kale, string beans, broccoli, beets and salad
fixings. "I don't like canned vegetables," she said. "I always cook
In addition, Stewart walks every day because exercise also helps
regulate blood sugar. "I like diet and exercise, and it's a good
thing," she said. "I really have to do everything, or I'll end up
in bad shape."
Nonetheless, Stewart considers herself fortunate, in a way. She
didn't have to overcome any big aversion to fruits and vegetables
to get herself eating better. She just had to make the time to buy
and cook them.
"A lot of people just don't like vegetables," she said. "What saved me was we had vegetables in all our meals growing up."

Winter Meetings Day Two Open ThreadPosted by: | Comments
The Winter Meetings are only a day old, but they have yet to bring anything resembling good news to the Yankees. Alex Rodriguez will undergo surgery to repair some serious damage in his left hip next month, which will cause him to miss the start of the season. Now the club has to add a stopgap third baseman to a shopping list that already includes a starting right fielder, a starting catcher, a DH, a bench, and various depth players. Thankfully Spring Training is still more than two months away.
Joe Girardi will meet with the media at 5:30 ET today, but those things usually lack major news. Either way, I'll have a recap. We'll keep track of all the Yankees-related rumors and rumblings throughout the day right here, so make sure you check back in. Here are Monday's rumors and here are today's, with the latest up top (all times are ET):
- 8:56pm: The Yankees have asked to see Youkilis' medicals, though the two sides remain far apart on the dollars. I do not like where this is going. [Barbarisi]
- 8:19pm: The Yankees remain in the mix for Scott Hairston. [Rosenthal]
- 7:25pm: Brian Cashman confirmed that they've had conversations with both Youkilis and A.J. Pierzynski. [Dan Barbarisi]
- 7:06pm: The Yankees are one of several teams with interest in Mark Reynolds. [Heyman]
- 7:05pm: Updated demands! Keppinger is reportedly seeking $12M across three years now. [Heyman]
- 6:02pm: The Yankees don't want to break the bank on a third baseman even on a one-year deal. They're nowhere close on money with Youkilis. [Curry]
- 4:15pm: The Yankees have met with Chavez's agent at some point during the Winter Meetings and expressed an interest in re-signing him for next season. This was inevitable following A-Rod's injury. [Ken Davidoff]
- 3:33pm: Scutaro is seeking $24M across three years (!) while Keppinger is seeking $8M across two years. They're basically the same player except Keppinger is five years younger. [Olney & Ken Rosenthal]
- 2:01pm: The Yankees have "very strong" interest in Jeff Keppinger and met with his representatives yesterday. The A-Rod injury accelerated their timetable. [Jeff Passan]
- 1:15pm: Kevin Youkilis is the top third baseman on the free agent market and the Yankees have spoken to his agent. The long-time Red Sox player is apparently open to a one-year contract if the money is good enough. [Jack Curry]
- 12:55pm: The Yankees have checked in on Shane Victorino, who figures to get multiple years. [Jerry Crasnick]
- 12:44pm: The Yankees have "likely interest" in Marco Scutaro, which means no one really knows if they have interest and are just guessing in the wake of A-Rod's injury. [Ken Rosenthal]
- 9:43am: The Yankees are talking to multiple nameless third base candidates. Speculate at your own risk. [Heyman]
- 9:30am: The Yankees are open to discussing Curtis Granderson and Phil Hughes in trades. I wrote about what they could expect in return for their center fielder in a mailbag a few months ago, and I have a hard time seeing a realistic deal that would be worthwhile. [Buster Olney & Joel Sherman]
- Although he intends to play in 2013, the Yankees have yet to talk to Eric Chavez about a new contract for next season. That figures to change pretty quickly in the wake of A-Rod's injury. [Sherman]
- Depending on who you ask, the Yankees either are or are not in on Yunel Escobar. I suppose they could have checked in before backing off. Considering their emphasis on strong makeup and character, I can't imagine they would push hard to acquire him unless he came dirt cheap. [Jon Heyman, Jayson Stark & Olney]
Reminder: Your trade proposal sucks.
Heyman: Yankees believed to have interest in Shane VictorinoPosted by: | Comments
Via Jon Heyman: The Yankees are one of seven teams "believed" to have interest in free agent outfielder Shane Victorino. I wrote a Scouting The Market piece on the Flyin' Hawaiian last week, so check that out. Heyman says several clubs are prepared to offer Victorino a three-year contract, and if that's true you can forget about him replacing Nick Swisher in right field. No way the Yankees will offer that.
In other hot stove news, Jeff Keppinger recently suffered a broken leg during a fall in his home according to Heyman. It's a small crack in his right fibula near his calf, and he's expected to be ready in plenty of time for Spring Training following surgery. The Yankees have interest in the infielder, and coincidentally enough, their attempt to acquire him from the Astros two years ago was interrupted by another injury, that one a foot problem requiring surgery.
Scouting The Free Agent Market: Shane VictorinoPosted by: | Comments
Plugging the right field hole left by the eventually departed Nick Swisher is going to be one of the Yankees' biggest challenges this winter, especially given their self-inflicted payroll cap heading into next season. Top free agents like Hamilton, Michael Bourn, B.J. Upton, and even Swisher would look wonderful in pinstripes next year, but the team is unlikely to spend the kind of dough required to reel them in. They'll instead mine the bargain bin.
One free agent outfielder whose stock is down coming off a subpar year is Shane Victorino, who will turn 32 in a little more than a week. The rebuilding-ish Phillies traded him to the Dodgers at the deadline, but he only hit .245/.316/.351 (88 wRC+) in 235 plate appearances with Los Angeles to close out the season. By late-September he was losing playing time to former Yankee Juan Rivera, among others. Victorino is just one year removed from a 13th place finish in the MVP voting though, so let's see if he has enough left in the tank to help the Yankees.
The Pros
- Just a .255/.321/.383 (94 wRC+) hitter in 2012, Victorino is one year removed from a .279/.355/.491 (133 wRC+) effort. He owns a 109 wRC+ over the last three seasons and crushes left-handers: .323/.388/.518 (148 wRC+) in this year and .318/.396/.550 (157 wRC+) since 2010.
- Victorino definitely qualifies as a contact hitter, striking out just 12.0% of the time this season and 11.7% of the time over the last three seasons. His contact rates (86.8% in 2012 and 86.7% since 2010) are strong as well.
- You're going to get some walks in addition to that contact as well. He walked in 8.0% of his plate appearances this year and 8.5% since 2010, which is basically league average. Many contact guys are hackers, but not Victorino. He also stole 39 bases this year (87% success rate) and has topped 25 steals five times in the last six years.
- Victorino remains a strong defensive outfielder, doing his best work in the corners even though he's more than capable of playing center. His throwing arm isn't the strongest in the world, but he gets rid of the ball quick and is pretty accurate.
- For what it's worth, Victorino plays really hard and that's always pleasing to the eye. He also has plenty of pennant race and postseason experience given his time with the Phillies.
- Because he was traded at midseason, the Dodgers could not make Victorino a qualifying offer and thus he won't require draft pick compensation to sign. I doubt they would have offered anyway.
The Cons
- Obviously Victorino's offense took a step back this season, and his struggles come exclusively against right-handers. He hit just .229/.296/.333 (73 wRC+) against righties this year and .244/.311/.390 (91 wRC+) since 2010.
- Although he avoided the disabled list this season, Victorino has been on the DL three times in the last three years and four times in the last five years. They were all minor strains (thumb, oblique, thigh, calf), but he tends to get banged up by playing so hard. Call it Slade Heathcott Syndrome.
The Pros greatly outweigh the Cons, but the inability to hit right-handers is pretty significant. He can't hit righties despite being a switch-hitter, meaning he'd be relegated to the short end of the platoon stick. Perhaps the friendly right field porch in Yankee Stadium improves his output from the left side of the plate, but he's not a big fly ball guy to begin with. He's a line drive/ground ball guy who uses his speed to reach base. Being unable to hit righties is a pretty huge negative.
We haven't even reached the Winter Meetings yet, and already we've seen two good but flawed outfielders since lucrative multi-year contracts. Torii Hunter landed two guaranteed years from the Tigers despite being 37 years old while Melky Cabrera received two years from the Blue Jays coming off a PED-related suspension. The market is flush with cash and teams seem willing to give that extra year to get their man. The Yankees, however, are fixated on one-year contracts in an effort to get under the luxury tax threshold in 2014.
That commitment to one-year deals hurts their chances to sign Victorino, who will presumably get offered starter money (and playing time) at some point this offseason. He would be the absolute perfect platoon guy/fourth outfielder for New York though given his ability to mash lefties, play all three outfield spots, run, and make contact. The Yankees have had success getting veteran players to take on reduced roles on one-year contracts in recent years, but Victorino strikes me as too young for that. I'd love to see them grab him as an Andruw Jones replacement on a one-year deal, even if they wind up paying him like $8M, but I have a hard time seeing those terms working for the player.
Heyman: Yankees exploring outfield marketPosted by: | Comments
The Yankees have been without Brett Gardner for all but nine games this season and they still have some concerns about his elbow injury according to Jon Heyman. He adds that they're exploring the outfield trade market — moreso than the pitching market — and have spoken to the Diamondbacks about Justin Upton (yay!) and the Phillies about Shane Victorino (meh). Gardner will be back no earlier than July 27th.
I've written about Upton a few times in the past, including in last week's mailbag. As I said when we first learned he was on the block, he's the rare player you gut the farm system to acquire. Young (24!), right-handed power, speed, favorable contract … Upton offers it all. Unfortunately the Yankees are on his no-trade list and Heyman calls it a "major long shot." Victorino, on the other hand, is a pure rental. The 31-year-old is having the worst offensive season of his career (93 wRC+) but is still a switch-hitter with speed (19 steals in 21 chances) and very good defense. Victorino is owed roughly $4.5M the rest of the season and will become a free agent this winter.
The Bombers have gotten by with Raul Ibanez and Andruw Jones in left field during Gardner's absence, but Heyman says they are concerned about wear-and-tear as the veteran duo spend more time in the field than anticipated. Victorino would be a fine fill-in if Gardner suffers a third setback, but as Brian Cashman said yesterday, the trade costs for even marginal upgrades are prohibitive at the moment. I doubt the Phillies will take a pair of Grade-B prospects for their center fielder when they can just recoup a
pair of high draft pick after the season.
Heyman says the Yankees will monitor the Cole Hamels situation, but we've already heard that they have "no intention" of getting involved in a bidding war. They've also scouted Francisco Liriano recently, presumably since he's returned to the rotation and has pitched exceptionally well. With CC Sabathia due back tomorrow, David Phelps stashed away in Triple-A, and Andy Pettitte scheduled to return in September, New York shouldn't be desperate to add a starter. Frankly they need another quality reliever more than anything.
