Photo Day @ Dodger Stadium
11:00 am / 11:50 am
It was a hot day ! Today at Dodger Stadium was Photo Day. Before the game, fans were invited to go into the field and take pictures of the Dodgers.
I told my Wife "I'm not taking any stuff to get signed. Just take pictures and only with those that I haven't taken a pix."
Years before, I would usually take a couple of magazines or balls in case anyone signs autographs. Most of the time, I would get nothing signed so I decided to just take pictures.
Well guess what ? I saw many players signing autographs ! lol
That's life.
It's ok.
A couple of pictures before the event started:
This guy (Cleveland Indians fan) was interviewed by Fox. You might see him in tonight's news.
The show starts...
Hong-Chih Kuo
Brad Ausmus (Read this)
Don't read this if you're a big fan of Ethier. (I'm serious! lol)
I believe it was after Ausmus that a fan (His name is Gilbert) came by my side. He had a kid with him. We started talking and he told me "I was in the other side and Ethier didn't want to pose with my kid" "He kept saying I don't do facebook or myspace, so no pictures"
Like I posted before, (read this and this) I get many e-mails from fans telling me that Ethier is a jerk. I didn't believe it because I've never had a problem with him before. But it's just weird that I get so many e-mails asking why Ethier is a jerk. To be honest, I can't answer that question because I've never had any problems. My brother went to Arizona last month and he told me the same thing that Gilbert said. He kept saying "No myspace or facebook pictures"
I don't know exactly what Ethier means.
Well I noticed that Ethier was coming towards our side. I was wondering if Gilbert was going to tell him anything again. Just to witness this myself. Guess what ? Gilbert confronted him. He told him "Hey Andre, why no pictures ?" Then I heard some kids in the back saying "Why are you here then ?" Then Ethier said what others have told me before "I don't do pictures, no myspace pictures" I don't know what he means by that. He just doesn't want all these people posting his pictures on myspace ? I have no idea. I was mad at myself because I had the camcorder with me and I didn't record this. A funny moment did occur. I don't know who it was but someone yelled at him "Then take a shower!"
But it's true people ! Ethier was a jerk today and from the e-mails that I get from you, I guess it's been a while since he has done this.
It didn't hurt me since I've met the guy before and to be honest, one of the nicest guys I have met. It was just very weird to see kids screaming at him "Andre ! Picture !" and he just kept saying "I don't do pictures" He's lying because he has taken pictures with fans before. I don't know what the problem is....On to the next !
Guillermo Mota ! This dude is funny. He was just walking around and I noticed he wasn't coming towards us. I'm half Cuban and I have noticed that Dominicans and Cubans use some of the same spanish slang. I screamed at Mota "Coño Papi ven aca!" lol He came and said "Coño ! eeehhh aqui toy Coño!" lol That was funny !! So that's the tip of the day ! Whenever you want their attention, just scream those words. Just don't ask me what it means :)
Another funny dude. Will Ohman. I told him "Hey great Harry Caray impersonation!" and he said "I'm doing it again this year!" lol I can't wait Will. Click here to watch his Harry Caray impersonation.
Up next....the man that everyone wanted to meet. Manny Ramirez. Man-Ram was talking to everyone. Posing pictures. Grabbing babies. Smiling. Everything. I got lucky. I came very close of not meeting him. Check out this video that I shot. It's 5 minutes. Sorry for the length. I started shooting basically when Man-Ram came to my side. Here's a little timeline while you're watching the video...
10 Seconds: You can see El Gordo!
20 Seconds: Answering my cell phone. Mom wondering if I was going to eat lunch with her later lol
1:02: Ronald Belisario just walked by. I didn't even notice because I was watching Man-Ram lol
1:30: Gilbert still mad at Ethier. He says "This is what a baseball player is supposed to look like"
2:03 Jonathan Broxton is mad because nobody is paying attention to him (well except this fan)
3:03 Someone hit me...It was chaos.
3:39 Telling my Wife "Ready babe?" lol
3:40 Camera going down...
4:00 Pimping my blog to Gilbert lol
4:15 Manny screaming at Mota
4:22 Man-Ram runs away. Fans that were on my section were shocked...I felt bad for those that didn't get a pix.
Couple of bruises and people stepping on my shoes, but it was fun lol
Joe Torre was next! He seemed shy.
O-Dog didn't stop. Just ran !
Juan Castro. I asked him if he was playing Winter Ball in Mexico after the season and he said he wasn't sure.
Eric Stults
Juan Pierre was cool. He stopped for those that asked for a picture. I even saw him sign autographs.
This is not Man-Ram. It's Ohman wearing a wig. I shot this from the big screen.
Other stuff that I didn't get to....I did notice that Russell Martin was very nice. He was signing autographs to anyone that asked. Stopped for pictures. He was walking very slow. So I'm sure many fans didn't get to meet him. I don't know why but my Wife's favorite pitcher is James McDonald and he stopped for a pix. I think that's about it...
Across me, I saw a reader of the blog. Linda! Sorry, didn't get to say hi.
I didn't stay for the game...
I'm out, peace !
Oh one more thing.
Viva Los Doyers cabrones ! :)
Oh oh oh one more thing ! lol
Last thing, I promise.
Matt Luke was signing autographs at the "Autograph Alley" !! Can you believe it ? Matt freaking Luke !! Wow :) Are you buying a house anytime soon ? Contact Matt !
Tell him Roberto sent you and he will give you a 10 % off any closing fees !

@ Anonymous - Yeah Luke was signing autographs and he really does sell houses. I remember I saw him last year and to be honest, I don't remember him. I had to look him up on Baseball Reference. lol
@ Susana - Half Cuban. My dad is Cuban and my Mom is Mexican. Si mucho sol. lol
- April 18, 2009 at 7:06 PM
Hey Roberto, just wanted to say that you are right about Ethier. He broke my heart. My little sister was crying. Maybe cuz he's married and the wife gets mad ?
I really love your blog. Been reading it for a long time. I don't leave comments but just wanted to say that. Thanks.
- April 18, 2009 at 7:12 PM

@ Mario - Hey dude, I deleted your comment. No bad words here, c'mon. This is a family blog lol I know you're mad at Ethier. But it's not the end of the world. Just forget about it.
- April 18, 2009 at 7:25 PM
I'm sorry Roberto. Sorry.
I'm just mad. We pay their salary. We watch the games and this fool comes here and acts like he is better than everyone.
It's cool u got this blog. Like it.

So I'm REALLY sad that Andre didn't take pictures with anyone because if you actually get to meet him one on one he really is soooo sweet! I don't understand why he was there either if he wasn't taking pics but I did get to grab his hand. But I think it would have been worse if he didn't go at all. And I really wanted to cry too when he didn't take pics too. And thinking about it makes me want to cry!!! OMG I am soo sad right now. :/ Cause I KNOW he is a great person.
- April 18, 2009 at 7:32 PM
- LoveEthier16 said...
And then he had to do this in front of all these people. And now I get to defend him. And I have no problem with that but it just makes that people who were meeting him for the first time will have this memory stuck with them forever.

Oh and the worker in the first picture in the blue shirt is my daddy's friend Silvino. He's cooL!

- Roberto Baly said...
Is this Michelle ?
Don't cry...
lol it's all good.
I'm surprised too. I don't know what to say. Like I said, Ethier is actually a very nice guy. I don't know what's going on with him. Then from what people tell me, it's been going on for a while now.
- April 18, 2009 at 7:38 PM
Hi everyone. I also saw the way Ethier acted towards the fans. Really messed up.
Manny was having fun. Russell Martin was going very slow. He took pictures with everyone but since he took so long many people missed him.
Loney is so nice. I can go on and on but just wanted to write about Ethier.
- April 18, 2009 at 7:41 PM
- LoveEthier16 said...
Ahhh yes it is Michelle. Haha! And I don't even know what to think right now. I don't even know why! Hahah! I just need to stop thinking about this already. Haha
- April 18, 2009 at 7:42 PM
- Roberto Baly said...
@ Jenny - Thanks for reading :)
@ Michelle - It's alright.
- April 18, 2009 at 7:46 PM
Nice video of Manny Ramirez. Must of been cool meeting him. Hey what the hell was a Indians fan there ? I lived in Chicago a couple years ago for college and went to many Cubs games and Will Ohman is a clown. He's a great guy. He used to pitch for the cubbies. Nice job Roberto
- April 18, 2009 at 7:51 PM
- Roberto Baly said...
I have no idea what a Indians fan was doing there !

I have told you before about "Andre I don't sign photos Ethier" We have the player meet and great next month in Albuquerque. Great Pics. I wish I was out there. Have you heard about the Louie Tiant (El Tiante). I heard him on the radio Friday. The film sounds cool.
- April 18, 2009 at 10:25 PM
- Falling LEAVes said...
Hey Roberto! I thought I saw you there, though I wasn't sure. I saw the angle of one of your photos and blew it up ... I saw my friend (who was standing right next to me) but the Dodger lady was blocking me. Actually, I saw myself in the background of another photo (the one where Lissette is studying). Yeah, I saw El Gordo and remembered your run in with him at Canter's.
And about Andre... The not taking pictures thing must be recent because he took photos last year. A friend told me what she heard the reason why he stopped, and it stinks for the rest of us fans. Too bad it applies to all fans now. I don't see why he won't take photos with kids at least. But he wasn't the only one who wouldn't stop for photos. Just the only one vocal about it.
- April 18, 2009 at 11:06 PM
Nice recap, and cool pic with Manny!
Re: Ethier, I've had a lot of good interactions with him, though think there must have been something someone did to make him stop taking pics. I mean, it's photo day after all!
The big test is what will go down on his Carne Asada Sunday on May 3. That whole event is about taking pictures with fans. Whoever goes to that needs to ask him about his new "no photo" policy and post a recap.
- April 18, 2009 at 11:27 PM
Hi, I also went. It was a nice day. Got a Manny pix. Andre said no to the whole section. He kept saying "I don't take pictures" He looked serious saying it.
Nice video of Manny. It was crazy where I was. People shoving and getting hit by other fans.
- April 19, 2009 at 8:25 AM
- Julie Hibbard said...
You are my hero.
Ethier should sit out fan PHOTO day if he does not allow PHOTOS!
You are my hero!
Amazing shots!
- April 19, 2009 at 8:39 AM
- LoveEthier16 said...
ahhh! I'll be sure to ask Andre when I go to Carne Asada Sunday although I hope he doesn't get mad and doesn't take a picture with me! Hahah! And I'm even thinking about writing him a letter because I was really upset. The last picture I got with him was in November. I don't see how things could have changed so quickly. :/

it was a very good day!!!! great pixs.. ya maybe its just on phot day bc at signings he always willing to take a picture

- PenosCabell said...
Great pix. Damn, Guillermo Mota is big guy.
- April 19, 2009 at 12:09 PM
Hey, as long as Ethier continues the way hes using that bat, he can be as much of a douche as possible. haha I want runs.
- April 19, 2009 at 12:42 PM
Why didn't you take a picture with Russell Martin ?
- April 19, 2009 at 1:10 PM
- Roberto Baly said...
@ Evan (I love this game) Yeah apparently he won't sign pictures or take
pictures now, weird huh ! ?
@ Linda (Falling Leaves) Yeah I saw him take pictures at the L.A. live this past February. This must of started in Spring Training. That's when my brother told
me that he heard him say "No pictures"
@ JJ - What's up ! You are right. I won't be going to the Carne Asada event.
But it would be cool if someone does go and gives us a recap (That's your job
@ David - Luckily no one got hurt !
@ Julie - Thanks Julie !
@ Michelle - Yeah tell him what's up! ?
@ Moe - It was a very a good day :)
@ Penos - Big dude !
@ Sauerkraut - True lol
@ Fernando - Because I already have one. I just wanted to bug the ones
that I haven't had a pix before. My wife did get one. Really nice.
- April 19, 2009 at 1:34 PM
Once again..great pictures & great Video of Manny. About Ethier, hopefully he doesnt continue like that..maybe his wife doesnt let him take pictures anymore...who knows..ViVa Los Doyers !!
- April 19, 2009 at 5:57 PM

Thanks J.C. :)
- April 20, 2009 at 7:47 AM
-oh so you don't need to purchase a ticket to go on the field for photo day, great to know for next year photo day. -Your wife bringing homework into the stadium reminds me of the movie fever pitch, with drew barrymore bringing her work to the stadium. Better keep an eye on those flying balls. -Nice shot of manny chewing gum...it looks like you caught him off guard.
- April 20, 2009 at 8:28 AM

Financial Finesse released on Thursday its annual Year in Review report on employee financial wellness in 2012. The firm found employees struggled through the early part of the year, and while they recovered some, they still didn't finish as well off as they did in 2011.
The biggest issue for employees in 2012 was cash management. Over two-thirds of employees said they were managing their cash flow well, but that was down from 72% in 2011 and 64% in 2010. The percentage of employees who had an emergency cash fund also fell to 51% from 56% in 2011.
Greg Ward (left), director of Financial Finesse's think tank, suggested employees' struggle with cash management was due to their growing optimism in regards to investment performance and the unemployment rate. "Some headlines make it look like things are getting better," Ward told AdvisorOne on Thursday. "Some employees may be thinking, 'If everything else is getting better, my situation must be getting better, too."
A closer look at employees' behaviors shows that's not the case. In addition to half of employees who don't have an emergency fund, a "significant number" don't always pay their bills on time or regularly pay off their credit card debt.
In addition to declines in cash management, more employees took hardship withdrawals in 2012, the report found, up to nearly a third from 25% in 2011. Ward said that some employees may be more reluctant to borrow from traditional sources like home equity or credit cards, so they've turned to their 401(k)s.
In spite of those negative outcomes, employees say they are managing their financial stress well and are even focusing on long-term planning goals like saving for retirement. After a significant drop in the number of employees who reported high or overwhelming stress in 2010 and 2011, the percentage continued to fall to 18% of employees in 2012. The report noted that a falling unemployment rate, which fell from 8.3% in January 2012 to 7.8% in December, and an extended bull market were likely the cause for employees' reduced stress level.
Ward said that the No. 1 source of financial stress was uncertainty over the U.S. economy. "Uncertainty is always a big factor," he said, "but when you have a declining market, and a bad housing market, bad financial behaviors, all that negative news leads to increases in levels of overwhelming stress." When employees are suffering uncertainty but have the reassurance of an emergency cash fund and stability in the job market, they don't feel as stressed.
"When they're focusing on themselves, stress levels go up," Ward said. "When they're focusing on uncertainty outside themselves, it's not as severe."
The report noted, though, that even though stress levels are falling, they're still high, with 64% of employees reporting some level of stress. Furthermore, despite the drop in stress levels, financial wellness fell from a score of 5.2 in 2011 to 5 in 2012.
"Are people getting lulled into complacency?" Ward asked. Prior to 2008, he said, people were comfortable with their employment situation, financial behaviors and the housing market. "We hope they're not slipping into the same behaviors."
The report also pointed out that high levels of stress can be linked with rising health problems, and reminded employers that reducing financial stress could be one way to ease health care costs associated with increased stress.
Calls made to Financial Finesse's hotline were focused on retirement planning, though the report notes tax questions doubled to 14%. The only other topic to receive increased attention was real estate, which only accounted for 6% of calls. Interest in cash and debt management and investing fell. The report noted that this drop was "typical of what happens when there is an extended bull market, and a subsequent increase in consumer confidence."
More than 90% of employees said they contributed to their workplace retirement plan, but just 17% said they are on track to replace at least 80% of their income.
Financial Finesse didn't survey respondents on whether they participated in the plan because they were automatically enrolled in it, but Ward said that the 17% of people who aren't sure if they are on track for retirement have more in common with the people who knew they were definitely not on track for retirement than with those who knew for a fact that they were.
Employees shouldn't focus so much on long-term planning that they lose sight of their short-term needs, Ward said. "We'd rather see employees say they want to get an emergency fund, live in their means and pay off debt so that they can focus on long-term planning issues like retirement and paying for education."

Shoal Draft 35' Performance Cruiser for Passionate Sailors
Many have asked whether it was possible to combine the expansive cruising capabilities of shoal-draft cruising boats with legendary J/Boats offshore performance. Why not have it all if modern technology permits one to design a boat that can cruise the Bahamas Banks, the shoals of the Keys and the long, beautiful estuaries of the Chesapeake or the eastern/western shores of England or secluded coves around the world where deep draft boats don't dare tread.
The new J/108 offers everything one could want in a shoal water capable, 35' performance cruising yacht - a full cruising interior, standing headroom, simplified sail handling, large cockpit, and legendary J performance. The J/108 opens up a new world for sailors who previously thought that sea-kindly, high performing yachts were only possible in deep draft configurations. With only 4' draft with board up, the J/108 draws the same as a J/24 and can take you many more places in style and comfort.
J/108 builds on the success of the award winning J/95 and has evolved from the combined experience and knowledge of the J network of dealers, builders and nearly 370 J/109 owners who have short-handed, cruised, and raced their boats around the globe. The J/109 has been one of the most successful performance cruiser-racers in the world. Using the sea-kindly hull shape of her predecessor, J/108 benefits from recent developments in keel and rudder design, simplified handling systems, and the knowledge-base of the J/95.
Sailing's Cruising Performance Winner
While the concept of "shoal draft performance" may seem ambitious, the delicate balance of hull design, windward performance, off-the-wind speed, and cruising comfort are achievable in a shoal-draft sailboat. The first of J's "Shoal Performance" designs, the J/95, has been widely acclaimed by knowledgeable yachting magazine experts as a "breakthrough" in shoal-draft performance. The J/95 was the sailing industry's first "Triple Crown" Winner-- garnering SAIL Magazine's "Performance" Boat Award, SAILING WORLD Magazine's "Performance" Boat Award and CRUISING WORLD Magazine's "Day Sailing" Boat Award.

Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder. Normally, red blood cells are disc-shaped and flexible. In sickle cell disease, hemoglobin, which is the chemical within red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body, is abnormal. This causes red blood cells to collapse into a crescent or sickle shape. It also causes the red blood cells to be abnormally stiff and fragile. These cells clump together and clog up small blood vessels throughout the body. When blood vessels are blocked by sickle-shaped red blood cells, parts of the body are deprived of oxygen. This can cause severe pain and damage to organs and tissues. Abnormal red blood cells are also destroyed at a high rate, causing a shortage of red blood cells (anemia).
Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder. If you receive one defective gene from each of your parents, then you will have sickle cell disease. If you only have one defective gene, you are said to have sickle cell trait, but not sickle cell disease. Although you won't usually have any symptoms, you can pass this gene on to your children.What are the risk factors for sickle cell disease?What are the symptoms of sickle cell disease?How is sickle cell disease diagnosed?What are the treatments for sickle cell disease?Are there screening tests for sickle cell disease?How can I reduce my risk of sickle cell disease?What questions should I ask my doctor?What is it like to live with sickle cell disease?Where can I get more information about sickle cell disease?

An original structure from an 1840s barn was left standing on River Road in Milanville, PA. Perched on a hill between dense woods and the Delaware River, the barn is rife with history as it was part of an old farm and a stop on the Underground Railroad. The building was on the brink of collapsing. If it fell, it would bring down its beauty and historical relevance with it. It was the perfect project for Joe Levine, an architect from New York City.
"We were all in love with this original barn," said Levine. He and his family, wife Jane Cyphers and daughters Raye and Emma, bought the house in 1996. No strangers to the area, Levine went to camp nearby in his youth and the family often took trips down the river.
When he heard about the barn from friends who owned it, he knew that he wanted it. At first, he was a little wary to come back to the area for fear he'd find it over-developed, but he was happy to discover that it was "pristine as ever."
Work began right away.
The first job was to stabilize the barn so it wouldn't collapse. Next was to respect the original structure and space, which Levine said was the number one rule. The design concept was to put new walls on the outside of the existing post and beam structure, which Levine says is a "less than common approach." There wasn't much left of the original structure—70% of the siding couldn't be used and the frame wasn't square. However, Levine was able to build around the structure and re-use whatever he could.
Presenting an excellent model of repurposing and recycling materials, the siding was reused to make window shutters and what was left of the original floor was made into lofts. All the original bluestone in the foundation was still there, though more bluestone was brought in to rebuild the foundation and create a basement.
A new copper roof was put on and huge sliding glass windows were installed in the front and back, giving open views of the woods and the river. This lends to an "outside when you're inside" feeling, which was the design concept.
Even the interior is open, an intentional design that Levine says honors the original space and "makes a one-room schoolhouse out if it." Indeed, technically, there are no rooms in the house. The bathroom is an assembly of cabinets and the bedrooms are open lofts suspended on each side.
The task of building the Levine house went to cabinetmaker Larry Braverman, Levine's next-door neighbor. Levine said he was "extremely lucky" to have Braverman. When Levine asked him if he would take on the task, Braverman replied, "I'm a cabinet maker," to which Joe said, "Let's consider it one big cabinet." Levine said this was just the first of "a long relationship of doing uncommon projects together."
One of those uncommon projects was creating the guesthouse to the home, built from a salvaged redwood water tower from New York City and made to look like the original tower. The structure is two-level, with a bathroom and sauna on the first floor and a bedroom on the second floor, all of which is sitting on the foundation of an old chicken coop. It has a copper roof and an outside shower.
The interior décor of the barn is minimal. Cyphers said that when she is decorating she keeps it simple. "The internal structure is so beautiful," she said. "The post and beams are like a sculpture in itself; it's a celebratory piece that is giving gratitude to the natural environment. I'm careful not to put anything in here that would detract from that."
Levine agrees, saying, "I don't feel like we've decorated."
It's simple, clean and contemporary. The kitchen is the largest piece of furniture. It's an island that is a combination of wood and steel put together by Braverman. The staircases are steel, with a spiral stair going to one loft and a straight stair going to the other. The bathroom is made from yellow pine and cement, and the sliding bathroom door has a yellow pine frame with a translucent fiberglass panel. Everything was made off-site and installed in an effort to make everything moveable and freestanding, such as the kitchen island and the entire bathroom. This was an intentional part of the design concept, giving the owners the option to rearrange and restore the barn to its original space.
Much of the furniture is by Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen. The dining room chairs are from his famous Seven Series. The large dining room table was designed by Levine and built by Braverman. Other furniture was collected over the years from flea markets and auctions.
The barn has been renovated and complete for many years, but some big changes are about to come. The house is currently heated by oil and a wood stove, but in the spring, the couple will install a pellet boiler and solar panels. These will replace the need for oil, and Levine recently made the call to cut off their oil. "It's an exciting thing to sever our oil pipe," said Levine. "That was one of the best calls I've made in a long time."
The Levine family has enjoyed their second home for years, coming here every weekend and vacation and taking time off from their busy schedules. The house not only serves as a living space, but as a gathering spot for friends and a place to hold meetings. Levine said, "Escaping up to the country has been our salvation. It's been such a privilege to be in this environment."

The tradition continues
Even though the Blizzard of 2006 paralyzed much of Colorado, it couldn't stop a holiday tradition that has taken place every year since 1956: the Denver Debutante Ball.
We described the lengths to which some of the principals had to go in order to make it to the Dec. 22 presentation, dinner and dance held at the Brown Palace Hotel in a story that appeared both in print and online (the online version can be seen below this post), so today we'll focus on the debs themselves, their activities and achievements.

Glaucoma can be diagnosed with a series of tests given by an eye care specialist. These tests are given during an eye exam that is conducted in the eye care professional's office. The exam will begin with the eye care professional or staff person asking you questions about your personal and medical history and your family's medical history.
To detect glaucoma, your eye care professional will do the following:
Visual acuity —This test measures how well you see at various distances. You will be asked to look at a chart of letters or numbers and identify what you see.
Tonometry —This test measures the pressure inside the eye. There are several types of tonometry; in air tonometry, a puff of air is blown onto the cornea to take the measurement. Another type uses a small plastic device (Goldman tonometer) that lightly pushes against your eye in order to measure your intraocular pressure. For this test, the eye is first numbed with an eye drop, so you do not feel anything.
Gonioscopy —The eye care professional can see the drainage angle of your eye using a special lens.
Pupil dilation —Drops are put in your eyes that enlarge/dilate your pupils. This allows the eye care professional to see more of the inside of your eye. Your close-up (near) vision may remain blurred for several hours afterwards and you may be sensitive to bright light. Ask for a pair of sunglasses after the dilation.
Ophthalmoscopy —Once your pupils are dilated, the eye care professional will examine your optic nerve and the rest of your retina with an instrument called an ophthalmoscope. The color and appearance of the optic nerve may indicate if damage from glaucoma is present and how extensive it is. Pictures of your optic nerve will likely be taken for future comparison.
Perimetry (visual field test) —This test produces a map of your field of vision. It is used to check whether there is damage to any area of vision. Since glaucoma slowly affects your peripheral, or side vision, you may not know you have any problems until detected on this test.
Pachymetry —The thickness of your cornea may be measured using a special machine called a corneal pachymeter. Your eye is numbed with a drop first and it does not hurt.
Nerve fiber layer analysis —A special machine, such as an OCT, GDx, or HRT, may be used to measure the thickness of the nerve fiber around your optic nerve. This can often be compared to normative data from other people without glaucoma of your age, sex, and race. It also can be rechecked in the future to see if there is any loss of nerve fiber thickness with time.
If the eye care professional finds evidence that you have glaucoma, you might begin a treatment program. Glaucoma cannot be cured, but treatment can help control the disease.

LSE Market Holidays
Is London Stock Exchange closed for Boxing Day?
The stock market closed on Boxing Day. Boxing Day is one of the ten market holidays observed by the London Stock Exchange each year.
The dates on which stock exchanges close differ between regions and do no necessarily align with the typical bank holidays in a given country. In fact, the exact holiday schedules change unpredictable year to year based on a number of factors.
The table below shows the list of passed and future dates on which the London Stock Exchange was closed or will be closed for Boxing Day. The available dates range from 2016 to 2022.
When is the next "Boxing Day"?The London Stock Exchange will next observe Good Friday on April 10, 2020 which is 1 week from now.

What Is Hib Disease?
Haemophilus influenzae type B, or Hib, is a bacteria that can cause infections. It usually occurs in children under 5 years old. Hib can lead to:
- Meningitis
- Pneumonia
- Swelling in the throat
- Other types of infections
- Death
People can carry Hib bacteria and not know it. These germs can spread from person to person. They usually spread through droplets from an infected person. Sickness will probably not occur when the germs stay in the nose and throat. They can cause serious problems when they spread into the lungs or the bloodstream.
Before the vaccine, severe Hib disease affected about 20,000 United States children.
Symptoms include:
- Fever
- Drowsiness
- Vomiting
- Stiff neck
- Other symptoms, depending on the part of the body affected
What Is the Hib Vaccine?
The Hib vaccine is made from inactive parts of the bacteria. It is injected into the muscle.
Who Should Be Vaccinated and When?
In general, children should get doses at:
- 2 months
- 4 months
- 6 months
- 12-15 months
In some cases, your child may only need 3 doses. This depends on which brand the doctor uses.
If a dose is missed, talk to the doctor. There are different catch-up schedules depending on the brand and your child's age.
This vaccine is not routinely recommended for children aged 5 years old. However, it may be given if your child was not vaccinated before and your child has other factors. Examples include:
- Sickle cell disease
- Bone marrow transplant
- Their spleen was removed
What Are the Risks Associated With the Hib Vaccine?
Like any vaccine, the Hib vaccine can cause serious problems, such as a severe allergic reaction. Most people do not have any problems. Some people have redness, warmth, or swelling near the injection site, as well as a fever.
Acetaminophen is sometimes given to reduce pain and fever that may occur after getting a vaccine. In infants, the medication may weaken the vaccine. Discuss the risks and benefits of taking acetaminophen with the doctor.
Who Should Not Be Vaccinated?
The following people should not get the vaccine:
- Children younger than 6 weeks old
- People who have ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction to a previous dose of Hib vaccine
- People who are moderately to severely ill may need to wait until they have recovered
What Other Ways Can Hib Disease Be Prevented Besides Vaccination?
Antibiotics may be given to certain infants and young children who have not been vaccinated and have been exposed to the disease.
What Happens in the Event of an Outbreak?
In the event of an outbreak, public health officials will determine who is at risk and vaccinate people.

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
- Kidney Stones
- Parasites
The familiar Halloween pumpkin is a member of the squash family, native to North and Central America. The seeds of the pumpkin were used medicinally in Native American medicine, primarily for the treatment of kidney, bladder, and digestive problems. From 1863 to 1936, the United States Pharmacopoeia listed pumpkin seeds as a treatment for intestinal parasites.
What Is Pumpkin Seed Used for Today?
Pumpkin seed oil has become popular today as a treatment for prostate enlargement ( benign prostatic hyperplasia , or BPH), and it was approved for this use in 1985 by Germany's Commission E. However, there is no meaningful evidence that pumpkin seed is helpful for this condition. Only double-blind , placebo-controlled studies can prove a treatment effective, and none have been reported for pumpkin seed oil alone. (For information on why this type of study is essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? ) However, two such studies evaluated a combination product containing pumpkin seed oil and the herb saw palmetto . 1,2
These studies did suggest benefit with the combination product, but since saw palmetto is thought to be effective for BPH, it is not clear whether pumpkin seed oil made any additional contribution.
The only reported study on pumpkin seed oil alone lacked a placebo group, and for this reason its results prove little. 3 (BPH is a condition that responds greatly to the power of suggestion, so it could have been assumed even before conducting this trial that people given pumpkin seed oil would show improvement.)
In highly preliminary research, pumpkin seed or its constituent curcurbitin has shown some activity against intestinal parasites. 4,7
These studies, however, can only be regarded as highly preliminary investigations of a traditional use; they were not designed in such a way that they could prove effectiveness.
Two studies performed in Thailand hint that pumpkin seed snacks might help prevent kidney stones among children at high risk for developing them. 8,9 However, this research only looked at chemical changes in the urine suggestive of a possible preventive effect, not actual reduction of stones. Furthermore, the design of the studies did not reach modern standards.
In studies, the dose of pumpkin seed oil used for the treatment of BPH was 160 mg three times daily. For the prevention of kidney stones, the dose of pumpkin seed snack tried was 5–10 grams per day.
Safety Issues
As a widely eaten food, pumpkin seeds are presumed to be safe (though there have been cases in which incompletely chewed up seeds have gotten stuck in the esophagus!). There are as yet no known or suspected safety risks with pumpkin seed oil.

Short bowel syndrome is a complication that can occur in people who have a large part or all of their small intestine removed.
Short bowel syndrome occurs when half or more of the small intestine is removed. It reduces the absorption of vitamins and minerals from food.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase the chances of short bowel syndrome:
- Crohn disease —most common reason for the removal of the small intestine
- Vascular problems
- Premature birth or very low birth weight
- Necrotizing enterocolitis
- Intestinal atresias
- Gastroschisis
Symptoms of short bowel syndrome may include:
- Diarrhea
- Cramping
- Bloating
- Heartburn
- Malnourishment
- Poor growth
- Dehydration
- Weakness
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Weight loss
- Food sensitivities
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Blood tests may also be performed to check for nutritional and absorption problems.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
If you are malnourished, your doctor may give you food, fluid, and electrolytes through an IV. You will be advised to gradually increase your caloric intake and avoid certain foods. Initially, your diet will be high-protein, low-fat, and lactose-free.
In addition to changing your diet, you may need to take vitamin and mineral supplements. Antidiarrheal medications and medications that slow the contraction and relaxation of the intestinal muscles can also slow your digestion so you can absorb more nutrients. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may prescribe an H2 blocker, a proton pump inhibitor, cholestyramine, and/or octreotide.
Transplantation of small bowel is an option for those who cannot maintain their nutritional status with other treatments.

Adventures in Radon & Moisture Mitigation
A version of this article appears in the July/August 2014 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
July 02, 2014
My recent attendance at a Building Science Fundamentals seminar given by Joe Lstiburek and John Straube has motivated me to tell the story of my own basement. I am an architect, a professed defender of the health, safety, and welfare of society, and yet I essentially, and avoidably, poisoned myself and my family for six years due to my insufficient understanding and awareness of airflow patterns and moisture migration in my home. I tell this story in a sincere bid to help other homeowners avoid the same fate, and because it has the elements of a good Greek tragedy, like hamartia and hubris. Since I live in the South, it also has the elements of a good country song: dogs, a truck, and a baby for good measure.

"What recovery?" is the reaction of many Americans five years after the Great Recession, according to the latest Country Financial Security Index survey, released Wednesday.
The overall Country Index, which has measured financial sentiment before, during and after the recession, stood at 65.9 in June 2013, up from the low of 62.4 in August 2011, but still quite a way from the 69.9 recorded in August 2008.
Survey numbers tell the story: 54% of respondents felt less financially secure this year than they did five years ago, 19% felt the same, and just 27% felt more financially secure.
The index was compiled for Country Financial by Rasmussen Reports, an independent research firm, based on a national telephone and online survey of some 3,000 Americans.
Nearly half of respondents said the economy was worse than it had been five years ago, and another 19% said it was about the same. Twenty-nine percent felt it was better.
The survey found many Americans still reeling from the recession's blows. Reduced retirement savings topped the list of lasting effects for 22% of respondents and depleted emergency savings for 21%.
However, only 8% put reduced home value at the top of the list.
Sixty-eight percent of Americans surveyed said the overall state of the economy had caused them to cut back spending to make ends meet, virtually unchanged from November 2008.
Another 41% said their financial situation was still recovering from the effects of the recession, and 19% said theirs would never recover.
"Americans, personally, may not be on the same page with reports about the state of the recovery," Troy Frerichs, director of investments-wealth management at Country Financial, said in a statement.
"While we've come a long way, this recovery is by no means complete and we still have ground to make up. The important thing is not to look back, but to adjust to a new reality and redefine what financial security looks like in a perhaps permanently changed financial and economic landscape."
Indeed, Americans are at best ambivalent about what the next five years portend.
Thirty-eight percent of respondents said their financial security would be better in five years than it was today, 21% said it would be about the same and 28% expected it to be worse.
Forty-six percent looked for another recession in the next five years, while only 22% were optimistic one would not occur. The remaining one-third was on the fence.
Thirty-six percent said an improved job market would make them feel more financially secure, and 25% said a decreased national debt would.

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
Arabinogalactins, substances found in many plants, are long molecules made of the sugars galactose and arabinose linked together in a chain. Arabinogalactan extracted from the Western larch tree (larch arabinogalactan, or LA) has been proposed as an immune stimulant.
Therapeutic Uses
Test-tube and animal studies suggest that LA has several potentially positive effects on the immune system. It appears to activate a type of white blood cell called a "natural killer" or NK cell, and perhaps other white blood cells as well, and also possibly alter levels of immune-related substances such as interleukins, interferon, and properdin. 1-5
On the basis of these findings, LA has been advocated as a supplement for general immune support . However, this recommendation is premature. It is a very, very long way from basic science of this type to evidence that a treatment has real effectiveness. Many plant substances appear to activate the immune system; this may be merely because the immune system regards them as "the enemy," and mobilizes to fight them. It takes double-blind, placebo-controlled trials to determine whether theoretical effects translate into real life benefits, and thus far only one such study has been performed on LA as an immune stimulant. Unfortunately, this single meaningful trial was not designed to determine the actual medical benefits (if any) of LA. Rather, it primarily continued the theoretical investigation of LA's effects on components of the immune system.
In this trial, 48 healthy women were assigned to receive one of four treatments: LA, echinacea, LA plus echinacea, or placebo. 6 Researchers evaluated various laboratory measurements of immune function. The results failed to show that LA by itself had any effect on immunity.
Other extremely preliminary research hints that LA might enhance the effectiveness of drugs used in cancer treatment , 7,10 help antibiotics fight ear infections and other infections, and enhance the immune system in people with conditions such as chronic viral hepatitis , HIV , and chronic fatigue syndrome . 5 However, all these suggestions are highly speculative and lack reliable supporting evidence.
There no doubt, however, that LA is a good dietary fiber source. Like less expensive forms of fiber, it appears to have beneficial effects in the colon. 11
A 6-month study failed to find LA helpful for improving cholesterol profile . 12
Safety Issues
Based on animal studies and limited evidence in humans, LA appears to be essentially nontoxic. 13 However, like other sources of dietary fiber, LA might lead to colonic problems like bloating and flatulence.
One additional set of potential risks derives from its supposed benefits: If LA does in fact meaningfully stimulate the immune system, it might be dangerous. The immune system is balanced on a knife's edge. An immune system that is too relaxed fails to defend us from infections; an immune system that is too active attacks healthy tissues, causing autoimmune diseases. If LA truly boosts immunity, it might cause or worsen such conditions as lupus , Crohn's disease , asthma , Graves' disease , Hashimoto's thyroiditis , multiple sclerosis , or rheumatoid arthritis , among other problems. In addition, people who take immune suppressant drugs for organ transplants would be at risk of organ rejection. However, there is no actual evidence that it causes problems.
Maximum safe doses in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking an immunosuppressant drug such as cyclosporine , methotrexate , or corticosteroids , use of LA could conceivably decrease the drug's effectiveness by stimulating your immune system.

Multifamily Ventilation Retrofits for Energy Savings
A version of this article appears in the November/December 2012 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
November 01, 2012
Ever wonder if there's something you're missing with a multifamily audit—a missed opportunity for energy savings or better indoor air quality (IAQ)? Think about the exhaust ventilation systems that you might have left untouched. It's true—as most tenants will tell you—that they seldom work well. Residents report noise from fans and other apartments, smoke and smells from other apartments, drafts, and too much or too little airflow. Exhaust systems may be passed over during an audit because they seem hard to measure and to retrofit, but there are more options than you may realize.
