After phone is seized...student sets school on fire (Published Wednesday, January 27, 2016)
The STAR's Facebook page was a picture of disappointment, anger and shock when this story was posted.
Simone Lauther This is out of hand. She doesn't fit in with the school environment. She a woman. #GenerationOfVipers
Maureen Douglas: Thanks, thanks, I give you thanks for all you have done. Lord yuh nuh mek nuh mistake inna my life because if I was still inna di classroom mi know seh prison nah miss me.
Tee Bee: I'm not surprised. People don't know the half of what educators in this country go through on a daily basis. Many of the serious issues do not make the news. The sector more concerned with saving face.
Alex Fowles: I'm waiting on the public and the MOE (Ministry of Education) to blame the teachers. These incidents happen on a daily basis in schools, only once in a while they make it to news.
Debbie Priestly: Yet dem cuss de women who a beat har daughter fe stop go pan Facebook. See dem bad pickney yah, maybe if har muma did a gi har some a dem lick she wuda do good.

Most of our followers defended Marion Hall, formerly Lady Saw, against critics.
Dacia Genus: Wondering if when the offering a go in the plate if we all say where it coming from. Leave the woman alone, that's she and God business, even the tax money a devil money.
Naomi Bless: What is wrong if the woman of God keeps her luxurious car? Unuh leave the woman and go give unuh life to the Lord. Badmind...
Kay Webber: There is nowhere in the bible that say people must not have wealth. Why should the lady give away her things that she did work for.

I have reviewed other posts but it seems their problems affect ALL contacts due to set-up issues. Evidently, my set-up is correct if some are showing so does anyone know why some would show, not others?

PAME Calls the Unions, the National Federations, the Regional Trade Union Centers to join the Strike action all over Greece against the new antiworkers' bill forwarded by the Government on Friday January 12.
Against this new attack PAME has called for General Strike on Friday, January 12.Dozens of National Workers' Federations, Regional Trade Union Centers and Trade Unions have already responded to the call.
The GSEE-ADEDY (members of ETUC in Greece) and their unions have refused to call for Strike, so as to give time to the Government to abolish workers' basic rights.
The new bill includes a series of antiworkers' measures (abolition of any protection of workers' homes so as to be auctioned by the banks, new taxes, etc) as well as imposition of new laws on trade union action and organization aiming to ban our right to go on strike.
The class trade unions are organizing a series of actions to strengthen workers' response to the new attack and prepare massive participation to the strike under the Slogan "Hands off! From our Right to Go On Strike"
On Tuesday January 9 the class unions of Athens held a militant demonstration and protest to the Ministry of Labour. When the Minister of Labor refused to meet with delegation of the class unions the workers entered the Ministry with force, hanged banners to the building, naming it "Ministry of Employers-European Union and IMF" and not of the labor. The protest forced the Minister to meet with delegation of the Unions, who demanded the cancelation of the bill that bans workers' right to go on strike. The Minister refused to withdraw the bill and slandered the class unions.
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNrjVCSfCBE
On Wednesday, January 10, PAME held a flash-protest in front of Prime Ministers' Mansion.

PAME called the workers, youth, pensioners, the unemployed, farmers, the self-employed, all the people to daily, massive, militant action.
All in the Strike of Friday January 12
All in the Strike Demonstrations on Friday January 12 and Monday January 15
The government wants to pass the new bill without resistance
They must receive a militant response
We call all Unions, from all countries, to express their Solidarity and Support with the new Strike of PAME on Friday January 12 and the daily demonstrations of the working class of Greece

A large part of what I love about RPGs is trying new ones—not just new settings, but new mechanics. I love it when a game forces me to play in a different way than I ever had before, or comes up with a new way to describe characters. I play RPGs to have new experiences, and one of the ways I get those new experiences is with new games. So I don't think there can be a "perfect game" for me—at best, it would be the "perfect game right now".
That said, I can tell you the game that is my baseline. Whenever I'm getting ready to run or play a new game, whatever the game is, the question in my mind is "how is this game better than running the same premise/setting with Primetime Adventures?" I use Primetime Adventures the way a lot of people use GURPS or D20 System or Savage Worlds.
But even then, the answer is "it's not", and I therefore end up using Primetime Adventures, only probably one time in ten. So while PTA might be as close to a "perfect" RPG for me as anything, I don't think there's anything that really deserves that label.

Students and alumni of Benedictine University will have the opportunity to come together and discuss different careers and job opportunities at the next Coffee House networking event sponsored by Career Development. The event will be held on Thursday, Jan. 26, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in Krasa Center C.
This month's series will feature an employer of Zurich North America, a provider of insurance-based financial services.
"The goal of these Coffee House events will be to increase networking opportunities for both students and alumni," said Sherri Smith, Career Development coordinator of Benedictine University. Since 2011, the networking events have given Benedictine students the opportunity to explore career options with alumni.
Smith explained that, "employers are asked to speak about their organization and the employment opportunities they have available, the organization's hiring and application process and how they use their social media to find qualifies candidates."
The networking events also create bonds between alumni and students.
"These events sound like a great way for students to learn more about what they are studying and aspiring to be. They can find out a lot more about future jobs from people who were once in their shoes," said sophomore Haley Fitzgerald.
"This is a great way for students to interact with our alumni. These events can help benefit student by gaining knowledge about their future interests," added freshman Meghan Novak.
Fitzgerald continued to explain, "I would definitely attend one of these workshops especially if someone from my education field was there, so I could ask questions. I would also be able to get a feel for what more I need to do during school to make myself more appealing in the business world."
The Career Development and Alumni Relations host the Coffee House Networking event each month. Next month, the event will take place on Thursday, Feb. 23. This time it will be targeted towards Science and Health majors because the employer who will be speaking is from Resurrection Health Care.

CIPD South East Scotland Branch
Wednesday, 28 March 2018 from 18:00 to 20:00 (BST)
Event Details
'Case-ing The Joint'
The World of Employment Law is fast paced, often changing daily and most certainly weekly. The impact of these changes, whether it be relating to disciplinary and grievance; discrimination; annual leave; Trade Union practice or one of the many other areas that impact on HR Practice, is often significant and getting it wrong can be extremely costly, not just in terms of financial cost, but business cost and ultimately reputational cost.
This session will explore some of the significant case law that has impacted HR Practice over the last 12 months and in particular will look at the commercial effects and how these can be addressed for the benefit of your business.
Professional photography and video production may be taking place at the event, and these images may be used on future promotional materials for CIPD. Please note that by attending the event, you are giving your consent for your image to be used on any CIPD promotional materials.

I had visions of teenage girls bringing their boyfriends over to check out the "attack dog" or worse yet, trying to give him "snuggles and hugs" and getting bit in the face. What I needed was someone who would follow directions to the letter and not think that their experience walking a Labrador qualified them to handle a serious working doberman. This of course, is in addition to the general concerns of reliability, honesty, etc. As soon as I met with Janet, I knew my search was over! She listened to my instructions on the do's and do not's of interacting with my dog and took detailed notes. She didn't pretend that she knew how to handle my dog better than I did and she showed a healthy respect for my dog's temperament and training. My dog and Janet became fast friends and I have no reservations whatsoever with him being in Janet's care. I would recommend Janet highly to anyone looking for a pet caregiver. Sometimes you just cannot beat maturity and experience!"—Kim, Wilson's owner

Gay Rights
1. (1) Persuasion is the process of changing or reinforcing attitudes, beliefs, values, or behavior. It is an integral part of our everyday activities. (2) Persuasive speech is a speech whose primary purpose is to change or reinforce the attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviors of receivers. (3) Situations:
I. When I have disagreement with my teacher's points II. When I hope some friends join in my activity
III. When I hope my leader to accept my proposals
2. Two general outcomes:
(1). They want to convince listeners that something is so (that is, to change the way audience members think.) (2). They want to cause audience members to rake an action (that is, to change the way they behave.) "Adoption": When your goal is adoption, you hope to persuade the audience to accept a new ides, attitude, or belief. "Continuance": If your goal is the continuance of a way of believing or acting, you want to encourage people to continue to think or behave as they now do. "Discontinuance": When your goal is discontinuance, you hope to persuade audience members to stop doing something they are now doing. "Deterrence": When your goal is deterrence, you want to persuade the audience to avoid an activity or a way of thinking. 3. I think the ability to influence others is greatly related to job effectiveness. Especially, when you have a good idea in your work, you have to persuade your leader to take the idea. If your ability of work is great, you may be more persuasive. 4. Proposition of fact: a persuasive speech with the goal of setting what is or is not so. Proposition of value: a persuasive speech that espouses the worth of an idea, a person, or an object. Proposition of policy: a persuasive speech on what ought to be. 5. (1) Persuasion is different.

Hair Transplantation is simply transfer of living hair from one area of the body to the other. There are three basic plastic surgery principles behind hair transplantation. The first principle is autografting, the second is DHT resistance and the third is donor dominance.
The principle of auto grafting means that the donor and the recipient of tissue must come from the same person. This common principle is widely used in plastic surgery, while skin grafting the burn patients. In fact, it was in a burn scar patient that hair transplant was first attempted and found successful. In hair transplantation practice, this means that only you can donate a hair follicle to yourself. No one else, not even the closest relative, with the exception of identical twin, can donate hair roots to you. If someone else's hairs are implanted in your body they will not survive as your body will consider it a 'foreign' tissue and 'reject' it.
The second principle is that the donor hair must be permanent, or in technical words, DHT resistant. That means hairs from the back and side of scalp, facial and body hairs can be used for hair transplantation. These hairs do not get destroyed by hormones as compared to the hairs on the front and top of scalp and keep growing throughout life. The DHT resistance is a genetic trait and that is why some people may have a wider donor zone than others. However a "Universal Safe Donor Zone" is present in all individuals that always contain DHT resistant hairs and can be utilised in every hair transplant.
The third principle of hair transplantation is donor dominance. It says that even after transfer to another area, the donor follicles behave in the same manner as they would have behaved, if they were not transferred. In simpler words, donor hairs maintain their characteristics and are not affected even after their transfer to bald recipient area. This means, that colour, calibre, growth potential and DHT resistance are all maintained like donor hairs in these newly transplanted hairs. That is why hair transplantation results are permanent. Some surface characteristics like hair wave may come after few years of transplant.
It is important to understand that the process of hair transplantation is an amalgamation of artistic eye and surgical dexterity. The surgeon must create a beautiful yet natural hair line that complements the patient's face, while keeping his restoration wishes and donor supply in mind. It would be foolish to assume that further hair loss is not possible and therefore follicular currency should be spent wisely the first time. Well-designed but poorly executed transplant will only result in poor growth & hair wastage and therefore, surgical experience of the team is also very important. Fragile hair roots can be easily crushed, dessicated and destroyed by a casual hair transplant surgeon, and would ultimately result in follicular wastage.
In the following sections, we have given you an overview of various hair transplantation techniques, candidate selection, post-operative course and cost of getting a good hair transplant.
The classic hair transplantation procedure FUHT (Follicular Unit Hair Transplant by strip harvest) explained. Also note that we use trichophytic closure technique in all our patients.
Advanced, stitch-less, two step i-FUE (Isolated Follicular Unit Extraction) procedure that isolates the hair root gently before extraction to avoid root damage during hair transplantation. See how it is done.
DHT resistant body hairs can be a useful hair transplantation alternative to scalp hairs in cases of high degrees of male pattern baldness. Learn about when, why and how of body hair transplantation.
Life changes for good after hair transplantation, but like all things in nature results come with time. See the time-line for transplant hair growth and maturation.
With packages starting from INR 49,000 only, good hair transplants are now affordable too. We also offer hair transplant payment through zero cost EMI facility through our financing partner.
After hearing and reading many good reports about Dr.sharad on the internet I travelled to India from England. The doctor and all of his staff made the experience very easy and pleasant. I was very satisfied with my operation which was far superior to my previous operation in Europe.
Clinic, staff, ambience is really good. Procedure followed looks to be international standard. Doctors are reachable round the clock. Appreciate their participation in hair restoration forums.
I am very happy about the quality of service provided here. I suggest to others as well because here I have got real value for money I spent. I highly recommend this centre for anyone planning for hair transplant.
This clinic was established in 1980 in New Delhi and was the first clinic in India to introduce hair transplantation. Since then, our clinic has conducted successful hair transplant procedures on a regular basis here.

How to Help Using Spiritual Guidance
The work of healing our fractured inner selves takes a little finesse, a lot of stick-to-it-iveness, and the skilled help of someone who has gone down this road before. Being a Helper then is about applying all we have learned on our own healing journey to help guide others through the process of reunifying their fragmented hidden places.
That may sound simple, but it's surely not easy. It's also not easy to be the Worker, the one who does this work of spiritual healing. Now, with Healing the Hurt, everyone can understand the important skills needed by a Helper to assure Workers find what they're looking for. Learn more
Healing our Body, Mind & Spirit by Getting to Know the Self
This book paints with a broad stroke, allowing Workers to see the greater picture of what it is we're trying to accomplish and helping us understand why it can be so tricky to do this work of self-healing. Written in plain English, including real-life examples of what doing this work looks like, Doing the Work arms spiritual seekers with the tools needed to take on this task, which is arguably the most satisfying thing a person can do with their life.

AQX-1125, a novel oral anti-Inflammatory compound, exhibits desirable properties for continued development
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 10, 2011) - Aquinox Pharmaceuticals Inc., a private, venture-backed, pharmaceutical company developing novel and targeted small molecule therapeutics for the treatment of inflammatory disease, announced today that it has initiated two Phase IIa clinical studies. Both studies will measure AQX-1125's ability to prevent inflammation and are scheduled to complete during 2012.
The two Phase IIa studies are being conducted at centres of excellence in the United Kingdom. The first study will evaluate a single dose of AQX-1125 in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in mild and moderate asthmatic patients exposed to an allergen known to induce an asthmatic attack. In the second study, AQX-1125 will be given in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled fashion at one of two doses to volunteers exposed to an environmental inflammatory stimulus. In each study, subjects will be administered drug orally once-daily for seven days with a key endpoint including AQX-1125's ability to reduce inflammatory cells and markers in sputum – indicators of the drug's anti-inflammatory properties. The studies will also continue to evaluate AQX-1125's safety and residence time in the blood (pharmacokinetics).
Earlier in the year, Aquinox successfully completed a Phase I clinical study assessing the safety, tolerability, absorption, and pharmacokinetics of AQX-1125. In this study, AQX-1125 was rapidly absorbed and exhibited a dose-proportional pharmacokinetic profile over the range of doses tested with a half-life of approximately 22 hours. Furthermore, the drug's Adverse Effects (AE) profile was generally unremarkable with mild gastrointestinal upset being the only dose-related observation.
"The results of the Phase 1 study demonstrated that AQX-1125 was well tolerated at all dose levels tested," said Dr. David Chernoff, Chief Medical Officer of Aquinox. "The drug is rapidly absorbed after oral administration and has desirable pharmacokinetic properties making it suitable for once-daily oral dosing. Overall, the results support continued development of this novel oral anti-inflammatory drug."
The Phase I study was conducted in three parts: The first part was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study evaluating safety and pharmacokinetics with 16 healthy volunteers. This was followed by a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study further evaluating safety and pharmacokinetics following ten consecutive days of dosing with an additional 24 healthy volunteers. The final part was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, study of the effects of food on the absorption of the drug in 12 additional healthy volunteers.
About Aquinox Pharmaceuticals
Aquinox Pharmaceuticals Inc. is the world leader in the discovery and development of novel, first-in-class, small molecule therapeutics targeting SH2-containing inositol-5'-phosphatase ("SHIP1") for the treatment of inflammatory disease. The Company's lead clinical candidate, AQX-1125, is a highly active and selective small molecule allosteric activator of SHIP1 suitable for once-daily oral dosing. Aquinox anticipates completing its Phase IIa clinical studies in Q3 2012. The Company has a broad intellectual property portfolio and deep pipeline of preclinical drug candidates.

Ahed Zaqout was not a military general, or any way a military man. In his day he was a midfield general on the football pitches of Palestine, but is now one more murdered Palestinian, one more statistic on the list of the innocent massacred by Israel's war machine. The Palestinian football star was killed after an Israeli bomb struck his apartment in Gaza while he was sleeping, it has been confirmed. Emergency services rushed to the home of the former midfielder on Thursday but were unable to save his life.
Zaqout had recently been working as a coach and as host of a Palestine sports programme in Gaza. Khaled Zaher, a Gaza sports journalist told Reuters: "Palestine has lost one of its best players, he may have been the best midfielder we ever had."
20 years ago he was in his prime and was a part of the Palestinian team that played a friendly against a team of French stars that included UEFA's president Michel Platini in 1994. Four years later, the Palestine football team was accepted into FIFA.
Perhaps his death was one of those that are being celebrated on the distant hillsides by crowds of exultant Zionist onlookers, who have gathered to cheer each Israeli bomb strike like ecstatic football fans?
Last month Mona Dabdoob, from the Palestinian Players' Federation, presented FIFA chiefs with a dossier of restrictions and attacks from Israel on Palestinian football as they met in Brazil.
FIFA ruled out sanctions against Israel but said it would monitor the country's alleged violations of Palestinian football, including preventing players from travelling to and from matches.
In January two young Palestinian footballers from Abu Dis FC, Jawhar Nasser Jawhar, 19, and Adam Abd al-Raouf Halabiya, 17, were reportedly shot by Israeli snipers, beaten up and had dogs set on them as they walked home after training. Abu Dis FC play in the shadow of the Israeli apartheid wall, on a pitch where some of our own Republica Internationale FC members have played on a previous tour of Palestine with Easton Cowboys FC.
"There was no alarm, no identification or warning," Jawhhar told reporters. Adam said that he was shot first in the leg. As Jawhar tried to drag him to safety, he was shot repeatedly in the hand and leg — 11 times total. Adam was shot once in the knee and two times in the other leg. The teenagers told the website that as they lay screaming, Israeli forces set a dog on them.
"They hit my head with a gun and they broke the leg with a gunshot in. They forced my leg backwards until it snapped. They were joking and laughing." Adam said.
Israeli police maintain that the teenagers were moments away from attacking the nearby police base.
Medical reports indicated that Jawhar was shot with 11 bullets, seven in his left foot, three in his right, and one in his left hand. Halabiya was shot once in each foot. The two were taken to Ramallah governmental hospital before being transferred to King Hussein Medical Center in Amman, where they were told they would never play again.
On March 10 Saji Darwish, Birzeit student and player for Beitin FC, was shot dead by soldiers near the West Bank settlement of Givat Assaf, close to Ramallah. It was alleged that he was throwing stones at vehicles belonging to Israeli settlers in the area.
In response to a previous dossier of Israeli violations of Palestinian footballers' basic rights to play football in the West Bank, which was presented to the FIFA Congress in October 2013, FIFA President Sepp Blatter predictably set up a "Task Force". Which has so far achieved precisely nothing.

Another Circuit Court Holds That Only Churches, Not Affiliated Organizations, Can Establish an ERISA-Exempt Church Plan
Stapleton v. Advocate Health Care Network, 2016 WL 1055784 (7th Cir. 2016)
Available at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCOURTS-ca7-15-01368/pdf/USCOURTS-ca7-15-01368-0.pdf
The Seventh Circuit has held that a retirement plan established by a church-affiliated network of hospitals and health care locations is not a church plan exempt from ERISA's requirements because the affiliated church did not establish the plan. In so holding, the court joins the Third Circuit, which recently reached a similar conclusion in another case (see our Checkpoint article). In the case before the Seventh Circuit, current and former employees of the church-affiliated organization that established (and also maintains) the plan claimed that the organization failed to comply with ERISA's vesting, reporting and disclosure, funding, trust, and fiduciary rules. The organization argued that the plan is exempt from ERISA as a church plan, but the trial court disagreed and held that the plan was not entitled to ERISA's church plan exemption because the plan had not been established by a church.
In affirming the trial court's decision, the Seventh Circuit agreed with the Third Circuit's analysis and concluded that a plain reading of ERISA's church plan definition—that is, "a plan established and maintained" by a church—limits the entity that can establish an ERISA-exempt church plan to the church itself. The court observed that the statutory language permits a church-established exempt plan to be maintained by a church-affiliated organization but held that this language does not permit a church-affiliated organization to establish an exempt plan. The court then turned to the legislative history to demonstrate that Congress intentionally omitted the word "establish" when it amended the definition of church plan to permit church-affiliated organizations to maintain exempt church plans. And like the Third Circuit, the court was not persuaded by the "long-standing and abundant" IRS private letter rulings approving exempt status to plans established by church-affiliated organizations (including the plan at issue in the case).
EBIA Comment: The Third and Seventh Circuits are the first federal appellate courts to address whether plans established by church-affiliated organizations (such as hospitals) are exempt from ERISA's reach as church plans, an issue that could ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, church-affiliated organizations relying on the exemption may wish to review the implications of these decisions with their legal advisors. For more information, see EBIA's 401(k) Plans manual at Section II.B.3 ("Exemption for Church Plan"); EBIA's ERISA Compliance manual at Section V.D ("Exemption for Churches"); EBIA's Self-Insured Health Plans manual at Section III.D.5 ("Plans Sponsored by Religious Organizations"); and EBIA's Cafeteria Plans manual at Section VIII.D ("Cafeteria Plans Sponsored by Churches").

After another extra-inning heartbreaker Wednesday night, The Phillies have now lost 5 in a row against the Cardinals and 13 of their last 14 overall. Cardinals' ace Carlos Martinez will show no mercy as he looks to help his team complete a rare road sweep
The Phillies can't figure out how to win. They even took a 5-0 lead in Tuesday's game against the Cardinals due largely to third baseman Greg Garcia's error with the bases loaded. And they blew the game. Their bullpen is one of the worst, as measured by FIP (this is like ERA, but factors out luck), their starters are struggling to find consistency and their lineup has not been productive. They've repeatedly been blown out, but their last three losses have come in extra innings. The Cardinals' lineup entered into a rhythm after they replaced Dexter Fowler with Matt Carpenter in the leadoff spot. Fowler's batting average has been rising since the switch in the lineup order, but most impressive has been his slugging. He is the active Cardinal with the most success historically against Phillies' starter Aaron Nola: in just five at-bats he has a double and two home runs in his career against him. The Phillies' lineup has little to counter with as they have yet to figure out Cardinals' starter Carlos Martinez. In 40 at-bats, current Phillies' batters have managed just seven hits, (.175 BA) only one of which was a double, and no home runs.
Carlos Martinez (6-5 2.86 ERA) is in great form. He produced an FIP of 2.00 or less in his last four outings, including a complete game four-hit shutout (1.01 FIP) against the Phillies on June 10th in St. Louis. The Phillies' ballpark is more conducive to home runs because it is less spacious, but Martinez is a ground ball pitcher who does not allow opposing batters to elevate his pitches and therefore does not give up a lot of home runs—he has given up zero in his last four starts. Martinez is enjoying a breakout season as his ERA is down from 3.04 last season to 2.86 this season and his FIP is down from 3.61 last season to 3.07 this season. The reason for his giving up fewer runs is the improvement of his stuff. His K/9 rate is up from 8.02 last season to 10.21 this season because he has added a slider to his pitching arsenal, with which he has already struck out 63 batters this season. His slider is one of his most frequently thrown pitches and opponents have yet to figure it out, as they are batting just .139 against it. His slider is also a major reason that he has struck out eight or more batters in five consecutive outings, including eleven against the Phillies. Martinez has become an even more dominant pitcher this season and his recent outings show him to be in great form
Aaron Nola (3-5 4.76 ERA) counters for the Phillies. He has been having a disappointing season so far. On April 20th, he went on the DL after he got shelled by the Mets in an outing in which he walked four, struck out only two, and saw the velocity of his pitches dip to a concerning degree. He has gotten hit hard in four of five outings since returning from the DL. The one positive outing was in Atlanta, where he pitched 8 innings of one-run ball (2.00 FIP). He seems healthy, as his K:BB rate has been approximately 3:1 since returning from the DL. The key for Nola is to stay fresh. In his worst outings, he pitched on 4 days' rest. But in Atlanta, he pitched on five days' rest. The significance of this discrepancy is demonstrated by his career statistics: with 4 days' rest Nola is 8-10 with a 6.31 ERA. But with 5 days' rest Nola is 6-4 with a 3.22 ERA. Six times in his career Nola has pitched on 5 days' rest after pitching consecutive games on four days' rest and in five of those games, his FIP was 3.13 or under. The one exception was July 2016 against the Royals (3.55 FIP), immediately after which he was placed on the 15-day DL because of the drop in his velocity indicating injury. Nola is normally a better pitcher when he gets extra rest.
The Verdict
I expect both starters to do well. Nola has a strong history against the Cardinals—even on only four days' rest. Last year in May he pitched seven innings and allowed only two hits and zero runs (1.58 FIP). This season he pitched five innings in St. Louis, allowing four hits and a three-run home run (4.52 FIP). I will not let one mistake—that Fowler made him pay for—deter me from backing Nola on five days' rest against a team that he has proven to do well against. Nola can do well against the Cardinals as a pitcher who primarily relies on the sinker. The Cards are one of the worst teams at hitting this pitch as measured by wOBA (this is like OPS, which is slugging plus on-base, but factors in run-scoring potential). The key for Nola is the effectivity of all of his breaking pitches, not just the sinker. He relies on deception. In his dominant performance against the Cardinals last season, the vertical and horizontal release points of his sinker and curve were nearly identical, meaning that batters were struggling to discern whether his pitch would sink or curve. In his recent performance against Atlanta, he produced the same deception between his fastball and his curve. He is more able to produce this deception and so have better stuff when he gets a boost of freshness thanks to an extra day of rest. Look for Nola to replicate his recent performance against Atlanta and his gem against the Cardinals in 2016.
Carlos Martinez has yet to be figured out. And the Phillies haven't been hitting any pitcher well at all; they didn't so much produce many runs last night as three errors committed by St. Louis fielders helped them score and their OPS is a paltry .581 in their past seven days, which is .150 lower than average. As for figuring out Martinez' lethal slider, the Phillies are one of the worst teams against the slider. They are fifth-to-last against this pitch as measured by wOBA, and so they recently struggled against the likes of Martinez and Chris Sale, both of whom throw powerful sliders. Martinez matches up optimally well against the Phillies as a power ground ball pitcher. Against power, the Phillies' OPS is only .668. Against ground ball pitching the Phillies' OPS is .652. The Phillies really struggle against the kind of pitcher that Martinez is, and against the kind of pitches that Martinez relies on. And yet Martinez is one of the strongest examples of a power ground ball pitcher who relies on a blazing slider. Martinez will also benefit by coming into this outing fresh: with four days' of rest Martinez' career ERA is 3.48 but with five days' of rest it is 2.66. He will pitch tomorrow with five days' rest.
The Phillies also have one of the most atrocious bullpens: it's third-to-last with a 4.81 FIP, .81 higher than that of the Cardinals, whose pen is statistically average. The Phillies' bullpen has been consistently outperformed by that of the Cardinals; the Phillies lost three one-run games to the Cardinals and lost two games to them in extra innings, including a rare seven-run loss in 11 innings on Monday night. So, even though I expect Nola to pitch well, I think that the Phillies' bullpen will ensure a sixth straight Phillies' loss to St. Louis on our MLB Picks. The Phillies will look to avoid a rare road sweep. But their performance has been so embarrassing, that they are probably more excited to leave Philadelphia. The team with the better starter, the hotter lineup, and the more reliable bullpen should win.Free MLB Picks: Cardinals -138 & Under 4.5 1hBest Line Offered: at 5Dimes

Dealing With a Chemical Pregnancy
What is a Chemical Pregnancy?
A chemical pregnancy is essentially a very early miscarriage. It is generally a term used when a miscarriage occurs before the 5 week mark, i.e. the woman's period arrives within one week of it's due date (or even on it's due date).
It is understood that there are many pregnancies that are not recognised because of such an early loss and it is likely that you will only know that you have experienced a chemical pregnancy because you are closely monitoring your cycles. Most people will just experience a late period and think nothing much of it.
The main way of telling that you have had a chemical pregnancy is that you will have got a positive pregnancy test (it can be quite a faint line on the test) before your period is due.
For some people who get a good line that can easily be distinguished on the test, this may be a big shock and disappointment to them as they will firmly believe that they have become pregnant and will not be expecting it to end so quickly. Others (including myself) may be more philosophical about it as the line on the pregnancy test was never that dark and so they didn't really expect a viable pregnancy to come from it. In any case, you need to deal with it in your own way depending on your circumstances as it is a loss like any other and there will be massive disappointment.
Having said all of the above, just because you get a very faint line on a pregnancy test does not mean it will definitely be a chemical pregnancy.
Are Chemical Pregnancies Common?
Chemical pregnancies are very common and, as described above, can happen to many people without them even realising it as their period may just be a few days late and they may just pass this off as nothing.
Just because you have a chemical pregnancy does not mean that you cannot go on to have a viable pregnancy the next time you get pregnant, there is usually nothing wrong with you to cause a chemical pregnancy.
My Chemical Pregnancy Experience
As I had been trying to get pregnant for a year and had already suffered one miscarriage at 2 months, I was monitoring my cycles pretty closely so I knew exactly when I ovulated. I was also testing pretty early as I had plenty of cheap pregnancy tests so I did not mind using them up just to see if there was a line there.
At 12dpo (days past ovulation) I took a test in the evening and it had a very faint line. I took another test later and there was another faint line. This continued for a couple of days until 15dpo when my period was due. I had been having cramps and my breasts were slightly sore (which they never usually are) and I was starting to feel really tired, which was a symptom that I had with my pregnancy, to the point where I had to have a nap during the day for 3 days in a row. However, at 15dpo the test came up blank so I thought my period should arrive as it was due on that day.
However, my period was 3 days late and it arrived after a few more days of cramps. As my ovulation date was obvious from the temperatures on my chart I figured that something had happened and along with the other symptoms and the lines on the tests a chemical pregnancy seemed to be an obvious answer.
Although it was a massive disappointment, I could still take the positive out of it that the sperm and egg had met and had started on the fertilisation journey.
How Do You Deal With a Chemical Pregnancy?
It is entirely up to you how you deal with this situation. For some people (and I have seen people go through this), they get a positive pregnancy test and are very excited, and then all of a sudden they are shocked because their period arrives. This can be a very devastating experience as you are not expecting it and can take some getting over, so just give yourself some time.
I also know others who have had a similar experience to me where they have got faint lines on tests that come and go - they may even go to the doctor to get blood tests - but at the end of the day there is nothing that you can do to stop a chemical pregnancy.
Just take your time and if you don't want to go back to trying to get pregnant straight away then take a month or two off before trying again. Unfortunately for some people like me time is of the essence and so taking any time off is not a possibility.
What Happens Afterwards?
In most cases you will get your period, which may be as per normal or it may be a bit heavier with some cramping.
It is likely that your cycles will not be interrupted too much by a chemical pregnancy unless your period is a week or so late. At this stage you are looking more at an early miscarriage than a chemical pregnancy, so that can affect you more physically and hormonally.
So you can likely go on and keep trying to get pregnant the next month while still testing to see when you will ovulate.

As reported last week by the Department of Defense, wounded warriors and disabled veterans are finding therapeutic benefits in an unlikely place: the ski slopes! USO of Metropolitan Washington and Two Top Mountain Adaptive Sports Foundation have partnered for this unique program of athletics and healing.
"I've been using snowboarding and hand cycling and weight lifting to manage my pain for the past three years," former Air Force senior airman Matthew Bilancia, a New Jersey native, said. "I think by using different sports and athletics, it keeps you from being depressed. It manages my depression and post-traumatic stress. It's great to able to use those things instead of the medication."
This is just one of many programs USO-Metro offers to Troops and their families who are recovering and receiving treatment at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, National Naval Medical Center, and Warrior Transition Units at Fort Meade, Fort Belvoir and the Hunter Holmes McGuire Richmond VAMC.
"This partnership with Two Top Adaptive has given us the opportunity to expand the types of therapeutic and adaptive programming we are able to offer to troops recovering at local military hospitals," said Elaine Rogers, president of USO-Metro. "We are grateful for Two Top Adaptive's commitment to deliver a truly exciting and restorative activity to our wounded warriors."
Bill Dietrich, Two Top Mountain Adaptive Sports Foundation executive director, added, "Adaptive skiing is an excellent recreation opportunity for these troops because gravity doesn't care if you're standing up or sitting down. The USO of Metropolitan Washington has a long-standing tradition of serving wounded warriors and their families and we're honored to partner with them."

Their journey is everyone's responsibility. From the moment they enlist, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, they can rely on your support.

Hair Farming
Well, since we are now in a holding pattern (I started "maintenance" chemo yesterday, a drug called Lomustine) until I can begin the SGN 35 trial, I thought I would take the opportunity to write about my hair. Fascinating, I know.
Its falling out, being bald, and re-growth have certainly been the least of my worries with this whole cancer gig, but I know for many it can be traumatic. I have heard from friends and family, too, who had never seen me with short hair in my 34 years, that seeing my hair grow back has been interesting in a Chia Pet kind of way.
Initially, losing my hair, especially because it was really long, felt quite icky; there just seemed to be so much of it because the strands were so long. As soon as this started happening, I cut off my ponytail and realized how much I liked having a bob (I wish I'd found this out a decade earlier). However, this didn't last long as my hair was still noticeably thinning, so my very nervous hairdresser chopped it all off without taking out an eye. A few days later, my husband gave me the final "Sinead" buzz cut with an electric razor.
My first look in the mirror was a tough one, not because of my hair being gone, but because I felt like my privacy regarding having what was considered to be a "dreaded" illness was now obvious and that this "evidence" would now enter a room before I did. However, once I was over the initial shock, I found being bald very empowering. There was no more long, blond hair to hide behind (not that I was aware that I was even hiding) and I felt pretty kick-ass, if I do say so myself. People know you mean business if you are a bald female, regardless of what they think the reason may be.
I have since come to regard a bald head, particularly on a woman, as utterly beautiful and natural. It enables us to see another's face, bright eyes and lines of expression with so much more clarity. When I see friends who are undergoing treatment that causes hair loss, I am overwhelmed by the inherent beauty of each of their faces and am often struck at the actual superfluousness of hair. When I didn't have any, I started to find it weird looking and unnecessary on people who did. Funny and wonderful how the mind adapts.
What was actually more difficult was when my hair started to grow back in an unfamiliar colour and texture. Having always had pin-straight, long blond hair, tight, curly brown hair was a bit of a shocker for me. It was hard to identify with and, as I had experienced so many changes, I really just wanted my old familiar hair back. I was told that the chemo curls were temporary and I gave them a good ten months before taking them to slaughter. They simply would not straighten-out or weigh-down, and in the words of one of my dear friends, I "looked like Ronald McDonald," just without the big red shoes.
So, off they went, nearly a year of hair growth falling to the stylist's floor, but low-and-behold, after that cut, my hair started to grow in much straighter and a bit lighter. Now it's almost in a bob; I'm just waiting for the remainder of the Cocker Spaniel ears to grow out. In the last few weeks, I've also been able to get it into a rather precarious pony tail with the help of half-a-dozen bobby pins.
In a nut shell, I'm happy to have hair, but will certainly not go to pieces if I have to lose it again (which doesn't seem to be the case for the foreseeable future). However, if I do, I will look forward to the unfettered beauty and confidence that I see, love and appreciate in the faces of my brave, currently-bald friends, regardless of my undeniably large frontal lobe.

My husband passed away in 2017. Will I be able to collect a survivor's benefit on his work record, even though we were only married five years?
En español | To qualify for a survivor's benefit, you must have been married for at least nine months. That time requirement is waived if the death was accidental or occurred in the line of duty while on active duty in a uniformed service.

Ten years ago today was my wedding day.
I am not the kind of girl who always dreamt of her wedding and the dress and all of that "stuff". Not that I spent the early part of my life set against the idea of getting married, it just wasn't something I fantasized about or spent any time considering. I didn't really have much of an opinion on the subject.
When my husband and I started dating, our relationship was something that was built on an existing friendship. We had known each other since the first week of our freshmen year of college, but it wasn't until the beginning of our senior year that we both had the "what if" thought at the same time. We have been together since our official first date in October 1996, so it worked out.
Obviously since this is 2011 and our tenth anniversary, we were together for some time before we actually got married. Part of the reason for that is I didn't really see any importance in *actually* getting married. It was the whole "It's just a piece of paper" mentality – a point of view I don't necessarily disagree with today. I felt like we loved each other and we knew that and anything else was an unnecessary (and expensive) production that was for everyone else, not for us.
Clearly I changed my mind on that – and here's why:
You know what you get to do when you get married? You get to assemble and stand up in front of people that you care about and declare publicly that you love your intended so much that you want everyone else to know it. It's a big deal! To feel that way about someone should be cause for celebration! People should celebrate the official union of two people committing to each other legally and/or under God! And everybody should have the right to do that should they decide they want to make that kind of commitment to someone who wants to make it back to them.
IN FACT – I think we should be forced to get married (to our spouses) more often! (No, honey, not for the gifts.) I think that if married folks were reminded more often of what they committed to in front of God and everyone, they may just take the whole thing a little more seriously.
It's funny – I expected the definition of "union" to mention something joining together to make something stronger. It doesn't. It only mentions two (or more) things becoming one, which seems kind of diminishing, doesn't it? If you look at the definition for "marriage" – other than defining the legal act – it says it's an "intimate or close union". It's not that these words don't define mine and my husband's relationship, it's just that a lot is missing from the definitions.
What I need is a word that means "a partnership built on love, friendship, and mutual respect that allows you to achieve so much more in life than you ever could have imagined." Is there a word for that?
Happy Anniversary, honey. I love you.

Building an outdoor fireplace is a great way to expand upon the look of your backyard. If you are someone who enjoys to spend their time outside with friends and family and who love to throw a number of barbecues throughout the year then this is something that you should consider. With the right outdoor fireplace design you will be able to turn your bland yard into a gathering place that everyone will want to use.
One would think that they would be restricted in the materials and designs they could use for this particular type of fireplace. They have been mistaken because there are numerous styles, designs, and materials to choose from. Of course you will still have to build it so that it will comply with the local building codes in your area and use a design that is both safe and effective.
During the process of designing your outdoor fireplace you should always consider the aspects and materials that will deliver a safe design and a decent ventilation system. The design used for many of these is quite similar to that of the fireplace that you see inside of the home. The difference is that it will not use any dampers. Instead it will use a very tall chimney that keeps the whole yard from being covered in smoke.
If you are looking to save money then consider using lavers and fire rings to the outdoor fireplace. These are some of the more decorative portable outdoor fireplaces – which give you the option to move it from home to home as you move with little to no problems.
If you are on a tight budget and cannot afford to build and construct your outdoor fireplace design from scratch then invest in a pre-engineered fireplace. These outdoor fireplace kits make it easy for you to put them together. They will not have the quality of something hand built – but it will function as one.
These kits cost between $400 to $1,000 and will provide you with everything that you need in order to build the ideal fireplace. Each one comes with all the supplies you need to build a large fireplace that is easy and quick to put together. It may come in a variety of stones for wood burning or outdoor gas fireplaces.

Well, now we know where that missing Iraqi money went.
RNC Holds 6 Times More Cash Than Dems
By SHARON THEIMER, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - The Republican National Committee began the month with a 6-to-1 financial advantage over its Democratic counterpart, with $16.5 million in the bank compared to the Democratic National Committee's $2.6 million.
The RNC raised $10.5 million in January, according to its monthly report to the Federal Election Commission. The GOP spent $8.7 million, including a $1 million transfer to Senate Republicans' fund-raising committee and nearly $1 million in telemarketing, according to an analysis by Political Money Line, a nonpartisan campaign finance tracking service.
The DNC raised $4.1 million last month, based on its FEC report. It spent $7.6 million, including a donation of $1.5 million to Virginia Lt. Gov. Timothy Kaine's campaign for governor and a $1 million transfer to the Senate Democrats' fund-raising committee.
The disparity between the two national committees in January fund raising illustrates the benefit President Bushs re-election to the White House can have day to day for his party. However, all is not lost for new DNC Chairman Howard Dean; in the last election cycle, though behind early on, the Democratic National Committee eventually exceeded the RNC in contributions by several million dollars.
Among other party committees filing January reports this week:
_ The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which raises money for House Democrats, began February with $11 million in debt from last year's elections. It had $1.5 million in the bank as this month began. The DCCC raised $1.5 million and spent $1.7 million in January.
_ The National Republican Congressional Committee, the House GOP's fund-raising committee, reported $2 million on hand. It raised $4.6 million and spent $5.8 million last month. The spending included $3.5 million on phone banks.
