Bangladesh Collapse: The Garment Workers Who Survived
Originally published on Wed July 10, 2013 8:57 pm
(We updated this post at 11:58 a.m. ET to include a statement released Wednesday by Walmart. Click here to see that)
It's been 2 1/2 months since the Rana Plaza collapsed on garment workers in Bangladesh, exposing abysmal safety conditions in the country's factories.
On a recent trip to Bangladesh, I sought out the survivors of what was the deadliest disaster in the history of the garment industry. An overwhelming number of the victims are women, many in their early 20s.
A visit to one of the hospitals provided a glimpse into the sort of injuries they sustained while Rana Plaza buckled: giant metal screws protrude from arms and legs literally holding limbs together.
Rebecca Khatun wasn't so lucky. The petite 22-year-old, her raven-hair plaited in a thick braid, is splayed across a hospital bed in a ward lined with rows of victims. Mosquito netting covers her amputated leg. A stump bandaged just below her hip is all that remains. Cockroaches swarm the railing of her metal bed, just one more indignity in the calamity that has claimed five members of her family.
"My mother, grandmother and two cousins were all working inside the factory that day. But there is no trace of them. How can that be?" she asks incredulously.
Only the body parts of a fifth relative were found.
"I lost my left leg and right foot," she says, gently weeping. "But it's even more painful that my mother is lost from my life."
The mother-daughter team worked side-by-side at the Ether Tex garment factory on the fifth floor. Her mother came to her and said, "Let's have breakfast and then start working." Khatun was already sewing and told her, "You go and I'll catch up." It was the last time they spoke.
On the morning of the collapse, Khatun says, "We didn't want to enter the building because of the huge cracks" detected the day before. "But the manager told us unless you go in, you won't get paid and you'll lose your job. So, we entered, but I vowed then that I would collect that month's salary and quit."
She lay crushed beneath a beam all day and all night until rescuers discovered her the next day.
Khatun received $120 in compensation and free medical care. She's awaiting an additional 1 million taka ($12,000) that the government promised for the grievously injured. It's a considerable amount in one of the poorest countries in Asia, but Khatun's doleful eyes flash with anger as she considers the sum.
"Seven members of my family worked there. Just two of us are alive. I've lost my limbs," she says. "How can $12,000 ever be enough?"
In a bed nearby, 23-year-old Rojina Akter's right leg weeps with wounds. She recalls on the morning of the disaster that the power failed.
"As soon as the power generators switched on, the building collapsed," Akter says.
It's believed that vibrations from the huge rooftop generators contributed to the chain of events.
Akter says she was one of 16 workers who were trapped in a tiny space as beams began falling all around them. A male colleague found a hole in the rubble, and "we made a rope tying their scarves together. ... I was numb with pain, but I cried out with joy after seeing the sky. I thanked Allah. I was so thankful to be alive."
Akter earned $65 a month as a sewer's assistant; the minimum wage for Bangladesh's garment workers is $37 a month.
"We are poor. We work to live," she says. "We entered the factory because we needed to be paid. But the government should have overseen the construction of Rana Plaza; it was built on marshy land."
And, she says, the top three floors were added illegally.
The titans of the garment industry like to brag that the factories have liberated women in the conservative culture of Bangladesh by getting them out of the house to earn money.
Workers' rights activists look to Western retailers and consumers to use their economic leverage to press for greater wages and safer working conditions for Bangladesh's 4 million garment workers. Some 70 retailers, mostly European, signed an agreement this week to conduct independent inspections of factories and to finance fire and safety upgrades.
U.S. retailers such as Gap and Walmart refused to sign on. Walmart corporate affairs told NPR in an email that the company will unveil its own "broader safety plan with an alliance of brands and retailers" and that Walmart "is paying for in-depth safety audits" at "every factory directly producing products" for it. But Walmart would not say whether the audits were independent or whether the plan is binding.
Khatun, who lost her leg and members of her family, says if there had been a union at Rana Plaza "this accident would not have happened because we would have had a stronger voice" to bargain with the managers and the factory owners.
Only a tiny fraction of the country's 5,000 garment factories have unions.
Akter is skeptical about pledges by the government and industry that post-Rana Plaza unions will be allowed to flourish. She says frequently the union leaders are co-opted by the owners who single them out for special treatment so "they cease their protests." She also doesn't think that raising the cost of clothes for Western consumers will help the workers.
"Even if the consumers pay double," she says, "the factory owners will not pass along that increase to us."
As Akter talks, her mother dabs medicine on her wounded leg. The 23-year-old is not only traumatized physically, but mentally, as well. She suffers nightmares that the hospital is caving in. But the disaster has not diminished her dreams.
"I'm planning to buy a plot of land to farm with the money I received from generous donors," she says. "One man gave me a sewing machine and told me, 'Get well and don't ever go back to a factory.'
"I won't," she says.
But Akter is anxious to get back home to her simple corrugated tin shed where, at least, she says, "It's safe."
Update at 11:58 a.m. Walmart Statement
Walmart announced Wednesday a five-year binding initiative with 17 brands and suppliers, including Gap. The company says the Bangladesh Worker Safety Initiative "sets aggressive timelines and accountability for inspections, training and worker empowerment."
Walmart said: "We believe companies and government have a responsibility to ensure that tragedies like those in Bangladesh do not happen again."
But labor rights watchdogs called the plan a "sham." Among other things, the Workers Rights Consortium and the International Labor Rights Forum said: "Worker representatives are not part of the agreement and have no role whatsoever in its governance." The groups noted that while Walmart, Gap and their allies say the companies will make $110 million in loans available, there's no way to see if any company will follow through.
In a separate statement, Michael Posner, a professor of business and human rights at New York University's Stern School of Business, said it does not make sense for there to be two competing initiatives — one American and one European.
"What's needed in Bangladesh is a comprehensive industry-wide industry effort aimed at building a sustainable sourcing model that will ensure the workers in those factories, who are mostly young women, have a voice and assurance that they can work in a safe space," he said.
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm David Greene.
A devastating building collapse in Bangladesh last April exposed a reality in that nation's garment industry. Abysmal safety conditions in factories put workers at risk every day. Now, another reality: Victims of the disaster may work in an industry that wields great economic power, and yet they're finding it hard to get help putting their lives back together.
NPR's Julie McCarthy traveled to Bangladesh, and she filed this report.
JULIE MCCARTHY, BYLINE: On this traffic-clogged, garbage-strewn street 40 minutes from central Dhaka, there is a gap in the buildings. What once stood here was Rana Plaza, a testament to the global demand for cheap clothes. It housed five clothing factories, employing 3,000 workers. On an April morning, when the building buckled, more than a thousand people were killed in the deadliest disaster in the history of the garment industry.
The wreckage is cleared. What remains are the ruined lives of victims who survived and languish in hospitals, limbless and in pain. Most are women.
MCCARTHY: Petite and raven-haired Rebecca Khatun is splayed across a hospital bed in a ward lined with rows of Rana Plaza victims. A bandaged stump just below her left hip rests beneath mosquito netting, all that remains of her leg. An army of cockroaches marches along the metal bed, one more indignity in this calamity that has claimed five members of her family.
REBECCA KHATUN: (Foreign language spoken)
MCCARTHY: My mother, grandmother and two cousins were all working inside the factory that day. But there is no trace of them. Only the body parts of a fifth relative were found.
KHATUN: (Foreign language spoken)
MCCARTHY: I lost my left leg and right foot, she gently weeps, but it's even more painful that my mother is lost from my life.
The daughter-mother team worked side-by-side at the Ether Tex garment factory operating on the fifth floor.
KHATUN: (Foreign language spoken)
MCCARTHY: On the morning of the collapse, Rebecca says: We didn't want to enter the building because of the huge cracks detected the day before. But the manager told us: Unless you go in, you won't get paid, and you'll lose your job. So we entered, she says. Rescuers discovered her the next day, crushed beneath a beam.
Rebecca received $120 in compensation and free medical care. She's awaiting an additional one million taka - or $12,000 - that the government promised for the grievously injured. It's a considerable amount in one of the poorest countries in Asia, but Rebecca's doleful eyes flash with anger as she considers the sum.
Does $12,000, does million taka begin to compensate you?
KHATUN: (Foreign language spoken)
MCCARTHY: Rebecca says: Seven members of my family worked there. Just two of us are alive. I've lost my limbs. How can $12,000 ever be enough, she says.
In a bed nearby, 23-year-old Rojina Akter's right leg weeps with wounds from the disaster. She earned $65 a month as a sewer's assistant. The minimum wage for Bangladesh's garment workers is $37 a month.
ROJINA AKTER: (Foreign language spoken)
MCCARTHY: We are poor. We work to live, she says. We entered the factory because we needed to be paid. But the government should have overseen the construction of Rana Plaza. It was built on marshy land, she says, and the top three floors were added illegally.
Gowher Rizvi, adviser to the prime minister, says just days before the collapse, the Cabinet had agreed to strengthen enforcement of building codes and workers' rights - changes now before parliament.
GOWHER RIZVI: Garment industries is the goose that lays the golden egg, and we cannot afford to, nor will we allow it to be killed. And therefore, we are going to take every possible measure.
MCCARTHY: Including, Rizvi says, letting workers freely unionize. Only a fraction of the country's 5,000 garment factories have unions. Labor rights activist Aminul Islam was killed last year in what was widely regarded as a warning against organizing Bangladesh's powerful apparel industry, which accounts for 80 percent of the country's foreign exports.
Kalpona Akter of the Bangladeshi Center for Worker Solidarity began sewing in what she calls sweatshops when she was 12. She's been fired, blacklisted and jailed for trying to unionize.
KALPONA AKTER: We need these jobs, but we want these jobs with dignity. We want a decent wage, safe working place and we want union voice in our workplace. We are not talking about you have to give us $15 per hour, but we don't want 24 cents per hour.
MCCARTHY: Gowher Rizvi says one problem has been the very body that governs the $19 billion industry: the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association.
RIZVI: In fact, BGME is a very powerful organization, a powerful lobby, and has often managed to get away from scrutiny and control well outside the laws.
MCCARTHY: But he says new legislation will bring it under greater control.
RIZVI: And even more so, BGME is aware that buyers will flee away from Bangladesh unless and until they are more amenable to workers' conditions, workers' welfare.
MCCARTHY: The BGMEA says it's given a million dollars compensation to Rana Plaza victims. And its president, Atiqul Islam, sounds like a convert on the question of workers unionizing. He says if they can protect their rights and we can protect our business, everyone wins.
ATIQUL ISLAM: I'm telling you, if anyone comes to us, they want to do the trade union - again, I'm saying the legal way - definitely, we are welcoming that.
MCCARTHY: Islam says Rana Plaza forced all stakeholders to change their mentality. But will the manufacturers group urge Western retailers to pay more for their clothing, a move labor organizers say could increase workers' wages? I put the question to the BGMEA president.
You can sit down with the retailers, the owners and exporters and say, look. We need to pay people more money here.
ISLAM: Yeah, that's what I'm saying that. It's a paradigm shift. We are also - that.
MCCARTHY: Are you doing it?
ISLAM: It cannot do it overnight. Things is coming now - the situation is coming now. It is the time to do these kind of things.
MCCARTHY: This week, 70 retailers, mostly European, signed a binding accord for independent inspections of factories and agreed to finance fire and safety upgrades. Today, Wal-Mart announced a five-year binding initiative with 17 brands and suppliers. The company says the Bangladesh Worker Safety Initiative sets aggressive timelines and accountability for third-party inspections, training and worker empowerment. In a statement, Wal-Mart said: We believe companies and government have a responsibility to ensure the tragedies like those in Bangladesh do not happen again.
Labor rights organizer Kalpona Akter recently told Wal-Mart shareholders that the world's biggest retailer had an ethical obligation to use its leverage to improve workers' conditions.
AKTER: Because these will save our workers' lives. I think it is more than high time for them to act right. Those profits should not be making, you know, out of workers' blood and sweat.
MCCARTHY: Back at the hospital, Rojina Akter's mother dabs medicine on her daughter's wounded leg. Rana Plaza traumatized Rojina's mind, as well as her body. She has nightmares of the hospital caving in. But the disaster has not diminished her dreams.
AKTER: (Foreign language spoken)
MCCARTHY: I'm planning to buy a plot of land to farm with the money I received from generous donors, she says. One man gave me a sewing machine and told me: Get well, and don't ever go back to a factory.
But Rojina is anxious to get back home to her simple corrugated tin shed, where at least, she says, it's safe.

They saw the Super Bowl was headed toward a boring blowout and they hit "reboot." Lights out. Game on. The NFL wins again.
Seriously, who would have thought a 34-minute power outage would become any sort of positive, other than those who like Phil Simms being muted? Yet that break turned a Baltimore Ravens' runaway into an ever-so-slim 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
It was a game that lived up to the hype of the brotherly battle of the minds between Ravens coach John Harbaugh and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. For the record, and strictly speaking as an amateur lip reader, John won the bad-words battle hands down, clinching it when a stadium official was explaining the power-outage delay plan.
John won the family's first Super Bowl coaching ring with a solid game plan and a nice final call to have the punter waste time and take a safety. I have a feeling Jim will get his ring, and soon. These guys know what they're doing.
It's time for a look at the Super Bowl winners and losers.
* Joe Flacco. The Ravens quarterback was in full control from the very start, hitting receivers with precision and showing – dare I say it? – the calm demeanor best displayed by Super Bowl greats like Joe Montana and Kurt Warner. His 11 touchdown passes this postseason tied Montana and Warner for the record.
Flacco was 22 of 33 for 287 yards and three touchdowns with no picks and a passer rating of 124.2. Those are Most Valuable Player numbers. And the sort of thing that gets you a crazy good raise.
* Ray Lewis. The Ravens linebacker got his wish. He retires as champion. He was able to bask in the glory of the moment. He has implied that he's a changed man over the course of his career, preaching his faith at every turn during this playoff run. I'll take him at his word. Enjoy retirement.
My only beef was Lewis quoting "If God is on our side, who can be against us?" I don't believe the Bible reference is meant for football games. If God picks the Super Bowl winners, wouldn't the "Saints" win every year? Think about it.
* Jacoby Jones, Ravens. A 56-yard touchdown reception and a 108-yard kickoff return touchdown. That's a good day in the prime-time office. In fact, Jones could have won the MVP.
* Jim Caldwell, Ravens offensive coordinator. He was aggressive when needed, putting the ball and game in Flacco's hands. He was fired as Indianapolis Colts coach after last year. Quick redemption for a good man.
* 49ers. If you don't like the 49ers, better enjoy this loss. They have the makings of a budding dynasty again. Jim Harbaugh took them to the NFC title game last season, the Super Bowl this season. The next step is winning it. With quarterback Colin Kaepernick staging a comeback from 22 points down, he showed why he's so dynamic and why the 49ers should only get better. Kaepernick's second half was superb, and he set a record for longest Super Bowl TD run by a quarterback (15 yards).
* The NFL. Even a monotonous, 34-minute delay couldn't unseat the Super Bowl as the country's best sports event. The game has come under fire for its health issues and its changes in officiating, etc.
In the end, the product delivered. You can't escape the pull of the game.
* Superdome. No, the power outage didn't take away from the ultimate enjoyment of the game. But that sort of thing simply cannot happen at the game's biggest event. New Orleans has been one of the regulars in the Super Bowl rotation. I'm pretty sure Lucas Oil Stadium kept the lights on.
* Halftime show with Beyonce, a bunch of other singers/dancers who look like Beyonce and the two other members of Destiny's Child. It was a good show if your idea of entertainment is booty shaking. Apparently, that is indeed many people's idea of entertainment. But the pure musical moment of the night goes to Alicia Keys' national anthem, following Jennifer Hudson and the Sandy Hook Elementary School choir.
* Commercials. The best one was the "Joe Montana Miracle Stain" from Tide. I also enjoyed the Skechers guy catching the cheetah. GoDaddy needs to become GoAwayDaddy with the uncomfortable kissing commercial.
* Officials. They called all sorts of pass interference all season long and swallowed their whistle on the 49ers' failed last offensive play. It sure looked like 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree was held. They let it go. Jim Harbaugh went berserk. The more I watch the replay, the more it seems an obvious missed penalty. The reason Crabtree pushes is because he's pushing back.
For those who say officials should let the players decide it? They did. But a player decided it by committing an uncalled penalty. Is that what we want? Maybe it is. The Ravens came up strong with that final goal-line stand on three other plays.
* Monday. The season's over. Now what do we do? Oh, yeah, let's talk NFL Draft.

Comments On May 06, 2015:Put these on a red 400ex and they look great. The installation was a breeze and everyone loves the new look of my atv. I bent my stock bars and after doing plenty of research I decided on these. The renthal and pro taper bars are great but I decided to save some money and I am glad I did. The handlebars on an ATV are supposed to bend in a severe accident. It takes the stress and impact off the steering stem to keep it from getting bent. Tusk products continue to impress me.

Interpretive Handbook
83727 :
ZAP-70, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Prognosis
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in adults. Its clinical course is highly variable with survival times ranging from months to decades. The standard procedure for estimating prognosis is clinical staging systems developed by Rai and Binet. In these staging systems, most CLL patients have early-stage disease. Genetic prognostic markers such as immunoglobulin heavy chain gene mutational status and FISH studies for specific chromosomal abnormalities have now been developed to refine the risk of progressive disease. CD38 and ZAP-70 have been identified as surrogate markers for mutation status and can be evaluated by flow cytometric immunophenotyping.
ZAP-70 (70-kDa zeta-associated protein) is an intracellular tyrosine kinase discovered initially because of its role in T-cell signaling. It has also been found to be associated with the B-cell receptor in CLL. The expression of ZAP-70 (> or =20% of B cells) has been associated with an increased risk for an adverse outcome in B-cell CLL and is considered an important risk factor in these patients. ZAP-70 expression, if present, is constant throughout the patient's clinical course and thus is a valid risk marker regardless of when it is evaluated.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assessing a risk factor for disease progression in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
ZAP-70 expression is considered to be a risk factor for disease progression in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
The threshold for ZAP-70 staining is established by using normal B cells as the negative cutoff value and comparing with background positive T-cell staining.
-ZAP-70-negative (<20% of monoclonal B cells) CLL patients have a median time to treatment of 9.2 years.
-ZAP-70-positive (> or =20% of monoclonal B cells) CLL patients have a median time to treatment of 2.9 years.
See ZAP-70 Expression and Overall Survival Among Patients with B-Cell CLL in Multimedia for survival curves.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
ZAP-70 is an intracellular activation marker in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells and expression can be labile after 24 hours. Failure to follow specimen processing, transportation, and storage requirements may lead to false results.
Bone marrow, lymph node, and tissue specimens will not be accepted as these specimen types have not been clinically validated at Mayo or in literature studies. Since B-cell CLL is, by definition, a peripheral leukemic process and since blood specimens can be easily obtained, this should not be a significant limitation.
A ZAP-70 study may be rejected if the histogram pattern indicates that there have been any cellular changes that could prevent accurate interpretation of antigen expression.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

This collection of essays analyzes the experience of women in Weimar and Nazi Germany — the first a period of crisis and polarization between right and left, and the second a period in which the right triumphed.

I have a Motorola Xoom 3G with Android 3.0 and use it with a bluetooth headset. I'd like to know what happens when the headphones run out of battery? Does the music just stop in the same way it does when I unplug wired headphones?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for enthusiasts and power users of the Android operating system. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I go running with my Motorola Droid and a bluetooth set of headphones (Motorola ROKR S9-HD). When the headphones die, my phone will stop playing the music. So it basically acts the same way as removal of normal headphones.
Do note, that this does depend on the app's behavior as the developer has to actually code in the listener for headphone removal. I know this because I have had to do it myself when writing a music app (radio reddit). But most music apps I've seen have implemented this behavior in their apps.
Yes the Xoom should stop transmitting as soon as the Headset disconnects. (Although it may start playing out of it's own speaker).
( And in this case it would disconnect as it had ran out of battery and turned off! )

I hate to be the voice of dissent here, but I really didn't enjoy this very much. I followed the recipe exactly and think I might like it better with some tweaking. I like spicy foods but all I can taste in this is a lot of heat. Less chili powder? Less cumin? I'm not sure what this needs. I tried serving it with little dollops of sour cream on top, but this didn't really help. I will probably not make this again.

Father, forgive me, I used chicken broth and added chicken parts, I could hear them clucking in protest the whole time... cluck cluck, cluck!
It was great! A major hit. A mexican man where I held the function came out of the warehouse and meekly approached me and asked me what it was I was cooking. When I told him, he quietly told me that he came out because it smelled like his grand-mama's house when she would make menudo. He seemed really moved by the whole thing. I have to say this is a wonderful soup, I had to keep adding liquid as I went because it can tend to steam off, and it just continued to get better and better. Make a batch and put it in the fridge, you'll have something delicious and hearty to eat all week!
This stew was AWESOME! Definitely delicious. I added okra, zucchini and tiny red lentils, which made it very hearty. I will probably expirement with different veggies each time. Thanks for sharing the recipe! :)
This tasted great but I sure did not like the hominy. I'd substitute whole kernel sweet corn next time. Maybe also add cubed sweet potato and sliced squash (the squash during the last 10 minutes, as it cooks quickly). These are in a Mexican Beef Stew recipe I have that is similar to this, and they work well.
We make this at work and get requests for the recipe everytime we serve it. We follow the directions exactly, but I like the idea of adding pinto beans to give it some good protein.
I am a new vegan but have loved Mexican food forever, and this is the perfect vegan replacement for my favorite chicken tortilla soup recipe- so delicious and so flavorful you don't even notice the absent of meat or chicken broth. Another amazing thing about this recipe is that it is SO EASY and can be tweaked depending on what veggies you have on hand. Hard to mess this one up. 5 stars!
I love it! As a new Vegan, previously, my idea of cooking was heating something in the microwave or boiling water for spaghetti. So I'm VERY new to cooking! So I always follow recipes exact and don't "tweak".
I saw the recipe and it sounded delish. I followed the recipe exactly and thought it rocked! I'll definitely be making this again!

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Brandon Morrow tossed his second shutout of the season as the Toronto Blue Jays took a 2-0 win over the New York Mets in the second of three games in an interleague set.
Morrow (5-2) gave up just one walk and three hits while striking out eight for the Blue Jays, who have won four straight. Kelly Johnson and Yunel Escobar each had two hits and an RBI in the win.
"That was a great game that he threw out there today," said Toronto manager John Farrell. "We got a couple of timely hits there, but the real story today was Brandon, he was fantastic out there."
Lucas Duda's double was the only extra-base hit for the Mets, who have dropped four of five.
Miguel Batista started on the mound, but left after two innings with stiffness in his lower back. Jeremy Hefner (0-1), who was called up from Triple-A Buffalo prior to the game, gave up two runs on four hits with five strikeouts over five innings in his second appearance in the majors.
"I'm not trying to change anything with the way I approach things up here," said Hefner. "I'm just trying to make my pitches and when they put the ball in play let the guys behind me do their job."
The game remained scoreless until the fifth inning when Toronto went on top. With two outs, Jeff Mathis kept the inning alive with a single and Johnson followed with a double. Escobar then singled home Johnson for a 2-0 lead.
Morrow, meanwhile, was nearly untouchable as he retired the first seven batters before Ronny Cedeno singled with one out in the third.
He then set down the next 13 batters before Duda doubled with two outs in the seventh. Morrow struck out Ike Davis to end the frame.
Morrow then set down the side in the eighth and got a good play from Jose Bautista in the ninth.
After giving up a leadoff walk to Scott Hairston, Morrow got Andres Torres to fly out. Mike Baxter then singled to right as Hairston moved to third. However, Bautista nailed Baxter trying to take second on the hit and Daniel Murphy followed with a line out to short to end the game.
Morrow has three shutouts in his career. He has not allowed more than one earned run in his last six games...The Blue Jays improved to just 6-14 lifetime against the Mets...Dillon Gee pitches for the Mets in the finale on Sunday while Henderson Alvarez will help Toronto go for the sweep.

Tuesday, April 27, 2004KINGSPORT, Tenn. (Apr. 27, 2004) - Down 3-1 in the top of the fifth, the East Tennessee State offense erupted for 10 run over the next two innings, then held on for an 11-7 victory over Virginia Tech in the third annual Kingsport Classic from Hunter Wright Stadium in Kingsport, Tenn. It is the second straight win for ETSU in the event, as they defeated the Hokies, 5-4, last season. Both starting pitchers breezed through the first couple of innings as ETSU sophomore Jeremy Hall (Gray, Tenn.) and Virginia Tech's Jay Musialowski allowed just one hit through the first three frames. Each team broke through in the fourth, as the Bucs (22-22) scored a run and the Hokies (22-18) plated three. Buccaneer junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.), currently fourth in the nation in hitting, belted his sixth home run of the season over the left-center field wall on the first pitch of the inning. Virginia Tech answered with a leadoff homer of their own in the bottom of the fourth. First baseman Sean O'Brien laced his sixth home run of the season to the opposite field, just over the wall in left. The Hokies then rallied for two runs with two-outs, beginning as Sheldon Adams reached on a fielder's choice. Jed English then came to the plate and singled to right with the ball getting away from Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.). Adams scored all the way from first while English ended up on third. A single to right by Matt Kalish brought English home. In the top of the fifth, the Buccaneer offense erupted for seven runs on six hits to take an 8-3 lead. ETSU loaded the bases as sophomore third baseman Greg Roberts (Douglas, Ga.) singled, sophomore left fielder Matt Traylor (Knoxville, Tenn.) reached on a fielder's choice and Byrne walked. Moore then struck again with a three-run triple to the center field wall. Sophomore first baseman Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.) then singled home Moore, followed by a single by senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.). Sophomore designated hitter Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.) came to the plate next and hit his third homer of the season, a blast to deep left-center field. East Tennessee State struck for two more runs in the top of the sixth to run their lead to 10-3. Roberts led off the inning with a single up the middle followed by a bunt single by senior center fielder Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.). Traylor then followed with a bunt RBI double that got through the infield as the Hokie infielders rotated to cover the bases. Roberts scored from second on the play and Turner advanced to third. Byrne followed with a sacrifice fly to right, scoring Turner. The Bucs added to their lead plating another run in the top of the seventh. Sophomore second baseman Josiah Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.) hit a one-out single to right then scored on a subsequent triple to left-center by Roberts. Virginia Tech got right back in the game, cutting the Buccaneer lead to 11-6 with three runs in the bottom of the seventh. Kalish reached on an error to lead off the inning, followed by a single by Warren Schaeffer. The Hokies loaded the bases as Tom Blaszak hit into a fielder's choice and the Bucs committed another error, failing to get an out on the play. O'Brien then hit a two-run single scoring Kalish and Schaeffer followed by an RBI single by Wyatt Toregas. The Hokies scored their final run of the game in the bottom of the ninth. Blaszak reached on an error to lead off the inning, then crossed the plate later on a passed ball. Hall (7-6) earned the win, going six innings and allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits. He also walked one and struck out four. Freshman Brandon Summey (Kingsport, Tenn.) and junior Michael Bauer (Kingsport, Tenn.) pitched solid in relief for the Bucs. Musialowski (1-2) was charged with the loss, allowing eight runs on eight hits in 4.2 innings. Roberts led the Bucs with three hits on the night, while Moore drove in four and Calicutt drove in three. "Caleb Moore is no doubt having an incredible season," said ETSU head coach Tony Skole following the game. "He is seeing the ball well and has been tremendous all year." Schaeffer paced the Hokies, going 3-for-4 with a run scored. O'Brien had two hits and three RBIs while Toregas also had two hits. "It is a good win for our program to beat a quality opponent like Virginia Tech," said Skole. "We are playing well right now, we are the most confident we have been all year. We have a tough schedule ahead, but we are playing good baseball." East Tennessee State returns home Friday night at 7 p.m. for the opener of a key SoCon series against The Citadel.

As Atlantis landed at the Kennedy Space Station this morning, many Orlando locals were able to hear the loud sonic boom as the shuttle re-entered Earth's atmosphere. The shuttle's twin sonic booms - caused by shock waves at its nose and tail - are a result of the orbiter traveling faster than the speed of sound. Below is a diagram explaining how sonic booms occur and where they were heard:

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev — The Warsaw Uprising. The Battle of Chosin Reservoir. The Chinese Spring Offensive. These were some of the battles that veterans who attended the National Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Recognition Day here fought and lived to pass on their story.
The base held a ceremony at Freedom Park to remember and pay tribute to those who were repatriated after their capture and those still missing, Sept. 20. Veterans from World War II, the Korea War, and the Vietnam War attended along with their family members.
"We just want to make sure that everyone understands how thankful we are for the sacrifices that they've given us, and their families have given us," said Capt. Megan Kell, 561st Joint Tactics Squadron chief of information operations integration and event coordinator. "We can't make up for it, but we can at least show our patriotism, our thankfulness and celebrate their bravery."
George W. Kielak was 15 years old when he took part in the Warsaw Uprising as part of the Polish Underground State. The uprising was a major battle that lasted 63 days in an attempt to wrestle Warsaw back from occupying Nazis. After his unit ran out of medical supplies, food and ammunition, they surrendered to the Nazis on Oct. 2, 1944.
"We were taking it a day at a time," Kielak said. "I was always hungry, looking for food. But being young, I somehow survived."
One of the memories that stands out from his time in the German prisoner camp was the living conditions in the barracks.
"I was wounded, so I stayed in the camp," Kielak said. "I remember bedbugs in our barracks where we slept. They were more of a menace than the Germans. This was the worst."
Kielak, being the youngest, slept on top of a three level bunk bed.
"During the night, [the bedbugs] start dropping like rain on you," he said.
He was liberated by the British April 17, 1945, and while living in the British zone of occupation, he joined the British army. In the 1950s, he immigrated to the United States and joined the U.S. Army, retiring at the rank of Sergeant Major.
Eugene Ramos, of Las Vegas Chapter 7-11 of the American Ex-Prisoners of War post commander, was a machine gunner in the 3rd Infantry Division during the Korean War. In 1950, at age 17, he found himself in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, one of the defining battles of the war.
"I landed in Wonsan [now in North Korea] in the last part of October," Ramos said. "The 3rd Infantry was on its way to relieve the 1st Marine and 7th Infantry because McArthur said those two divisions would be home for Christmas. The 3rd Infantry was going up there to relieve those two off the line, but we never made it. We got as far as the Chosin Reservoir, and the Chinese came across. I think they sent seven or eight divisions at us. We fought our way out of there."
After evacuating by sea at Hungnam in North Korea, they landed in Busan, South Korea and marched for four months to Seoul. They settled down at what is known as the Kansas line on the 38th Parallel. By this time it was April 1951.
"The general said we've got to hold this at all cost," Ramos said. "But I wasn't worried too much because I was going on rest and relaxation the next morning … never made it."
The Chinese attacked the next morning in what was later called the Chinese Spring Offensive. He was captured along with 50 others and held until August 1953, after the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed.
Ramos and the other prisoners marched to the Korean and Chinese border to a prisoner camp consisting of huts and were then separated into companies. He was made to collect wood in the surrounding hills and attend lectures aimed at brainwashing. Prisoners were killed if they were seen in groups talking, for fear of escape attempts.
From his imprisonment, Ramos learned that relying on others was what got them through their captivity.
"You have to have confidence in your friends," Ramos said. "You have to depend on each other to take care of each other because by yourself you'll never make it. You have to have someone else there with you to give you support because I've seen guys who just gave up. They just died."
After two years, Ramos was traded for Chinese prisoners on what was called Freedom Bridge, but not everyone made it back.
"There are still some guys there," he said.
The Defense Prisoner of War Missing Personnel Office website states more that 83,000 Americans are missing from World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, and the 1991 Gulf War.

Federal employees in Montgomery County at agencies such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology returned to work Thursday with the news they would receive back pay for furlough days during the 16-day government shutdown.
Private contractors did not receive the same assurances.
The last time the government shut down, in 1996, contractors were not reimbursed, while federal employees were. When Bethesda defense giant Lockheed Martin furloughed about 2,400 employees a couple of weeks ago because of the political standoff, CEO Marillyn A. Hewson directed them to use vacation time to continue receiving pay.
A Lockheed spokesman could not be reached Thursday to comment on furloughed employees' potential back pay. Company officials released a statement saying they were pleased an agreement to end the shutdown was reached, and the 2,400 furloughed employees would be "back to work soon."
"We expect all U.S. government facilities to open, stop work orders to be lifted and for our operations to return to normal as soon as our customers are all back in place and have informed us that we may resume many critical programs that were halted during the shutdown," Lockheed officials said on Thursday.
Some other area contractors were not affected much by the shutdown. Bethesda enriched uranium supplier USEC initially thought it might have to furlough some employees or slow down work at an Ohio uranium enrichment project if the shutdown ran past Oct. 15.
But that was averted and there was not a significant impact, Paul Jacobson, a spokesman for USEC, said Thursday.
"We had to carefully manage the fiscal 2013 funds that were carried over," he said. "That allowed us to keep the program operating without pause."
USEC is building a $350 million plant to produce low-enriched uranium to make nuclear fuel. The project is about 80 percent funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.
The U.S. Senate agreement that was reached late Wednesday to end the shutdown and raise the debt ceiling offered back compensation to federal workers who have been furloughed since Oct. 1.
Many of the 3,600 workers who were furloughed since Oct. 10 at the Rockville-based U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission had returned to work Thursday. The agency is rescheduling public meetings, updating reports of incidents at reactors and resuming normal operations, said NRC spokesman Scott Burnell.
About 3,000 of the agency's 3,900 employees work at the headquarters off Rockville Pike.
As for contractors with the agency, the NRC is reviewing projects to decide which ones will resume first, Burnell said.
"Some contractors continued working during the shutdown, while others did not," he said.
Gaithersburg-based NIST resumed normal operations Thursday. Contractors who work on the NIST campus were instructed to report to work. A spokeswoman could not be reached for comment Thursday.
In a memo to employees at the Silver Spring-based Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius wrote that the decision on which employees to furlough was "based on a technical statutory definition mostly determined by how [an employee's] work is funded, and not the value" the FDA attributes to workers.
The Bethesda-based National Institutes of Health — which had to delay its grant review process, medical studies and accepting additional patients during the shutdown — furloughed about 70 percent of its almost 19,000 employees.
Each day of the shutdown could cost Montgomery County $760,000 in lost income tax revenue, according to a report by the county's Finance Department.

serious joint and muscle pain should be considered as side effects for this drug!
Basically I did fine. I took as prescribed to me by my Dr. and that was 1 every 6-8 hr's or as needed. I did for 7 days. Felt better.
plain, generic oxycodone is preferable over oxycodone/acetaminophen or oxycodone/aspirin. that way you do not suffer any side effects from acetaminophen (liver) or aspirin (bruising, ulcers, ringing in the ears) when you have to take 10 + tablets (5 mg) in a 24 hour period. using 5 mg tablets lets you "fine tune" the needed quantity. i have taken it for migraines for over 30 years on and off. it made my life normal again. before that i was on all kind of meds and missed not only work but also a lot of enjoyable activities. keep in mind though, that being addiction prone varies from person to person. for me it is a live saver.
I have failed back syndrome {previous back surgery going bad}. This medication taken carefully and sparingly can offer good relief to those who will have chronic pain for the rest of their days. With intermitten use of ibuprofen to supplement pain is tolerable. I do not believe you can ever be truely pain free, but it can be tolerable. I use 4-5 5mg tablets per day, somedays less, some days more, it all seems to balance out by months end.
I if i need 5-6 daily on 150 a month.I have no withdrawal symptoms as thats the reason i like the 5 mg,tablets.I take Morphine 60 mg,twice daily,for severe pain .As this doesnt ever give me Withdrawal symptoms.Im very happy my Dr 3 years ago,took me off that Oxicontin,long acting.40 mg.I dont recommend,the 10,20,40,80,100 long acting tablets.Its very bad especially for having withdrawals.The Morphine 60 mg,is Generic,and a miracle drug you dont feel when taken.It works but you dont feel it,it acts only on the pain,im sure Receptors as to the brain to relieve pain.Used from 2010-Current Trust me, Im very Satisfied 10 star,without the side effects.
Masectomy,lynph node dissection, post surgery, oxycodene worked very well for me during my hospital stay and after I went home. I also was given hydrocodene, which made me very nauseous, and did not cover the pain so much.
I have only had 6doses of this in 5 days and this morning my tounge has red patches on it like it was burned. also a little sore to swallow. is this an allergic side effects? anyone else experienced this?
I've taken oxycodone for years after an auto accident in 1989. Have problems with my neck, elbows, back, hips and knees. Started with 5/325 now taking HLC 20 mg x 5 per day. Oxycodone works well for me. Without it I would spend much more time in bed. This medication is highly addictive, so I would not recommend it unless all other alternatives have been tried first. Because you're reading this you probably suffer with severe pain. My best to you.
WHile this drug is highly effective for my pain, I find that I have to increase my dosage which is not good. Also if you do not take it after taking it for merely a week, you will experience withdrawl symptoms.
My Dx: FMS/CFS/O.A. Percocet 5/325mg [limited to 3 a day] helps 80% of the time, along with Lidoderm Patches, Robaxin and other Rx and Chiropractor. Weather & stresses cause my pain to get ahead of me. My former doctor used to tell me 'Controlled Drugs' were not effective against FMS. Thank you for this site, and patients' in-put.
