Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Urticaria, commonly called hives, is an inflammation of the surface layers of the skin, and is characterized by small, itchy red or white welts (called wheals). Urticaria is usually caused by an allergic reaction; however, the allergenic trigger is often unknown. When a cause can be identified, it is frequently something taken by mouth, such as shellfish or other fish, dairy products, peanuts or other legumes, chocolate, fresh fruit, or medications. Sometimes other allergens such as pollens, molds, or animal dander, can produce hives. Hives can also be caused by heat (cholinergic urticaria or "prickly heat"), cold (cold urticaria), pressure (dermographism and pressure urticaria), light (solar urticaria), exercise, and certain infections such as hepatitis B .
In most acute cases, urticaria disappears within hours or days without any treatment. Sometimes, however, it may continue for a prolonged period, or recur frequently. Such chronic cases are often very difficult to treat.
Urticaria is closely related to another condition called angioedema, which involves swelling in the deeper layers of the skin. When swelling occurs in the throat or tongue, angioedema can be life-threatening.
Urticaria and angioedema are also closely related to anaphylaxis, an extremely dangerous condition that can lead to death within minutes or hours. Anaphylaxis is an overwhelming allergic reaction that may lead to swelling of internal organs, collapse of blood circulation, shock, or suffocation. It may be caused by all the same factors that trigger hives; one of the most well-known causes is bee sting allergy.
Conventional treatments for urticaria and angioedema include avoidance of triggering factors, and use of antihistamines, and, occasionally, corticosteroids. When breathing is threatened, epinephrine shots and possibly hospitalization may be needed.
Proposed Treatments for Urticaria
Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) has shown some promise for treating urticaria caused by latex allergies, in one small double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. 6
Based on the theory that urticaria may be caused by delayed type food allergies , food allergen elimination diets have been tried as a treatment for chronic symptoms. However, the evidence that it works remains highly preliminary at best. 1-3 See the Food Allergy article for more information.
There are many forms of the elimination diet. One of the most common involves starting with a highly restricted diet consisting only of foods that are seldom allergenic, such as rice, yams, and turkey. Other proponents of the elimination diet allow a greater range of foods at the outset. If dietary restriction leads to resolution or improvement of symptoms, foods are then reintroduced one by one to see which, if any, will trigger urticaria. (For more information see the article on Food Allergies .)
In China, urticaria is often treated with acupuncture ; however, the evidence that acupuncture works for this condition is far too weak to rely upon at all. 5 Tripterygium hypoglaucum hutch, an herb used in Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine , was found in one study to provide added benefit in treating hives when given along with the medication cetirizine. 7
Vitamins C and B 12 , and the flavonoid quercetin , have also been suggested, but there is no evidence as yet that they really work for treating urticaria.

Plan expands college classes for Vermont high schoolers
MONTPELIER -- Gov. Peter Shumlin on Thursday unveiled a plan to get more Vermont students into college and better prepared for jobs by expanding a program that allows them to take college-level courses in high school.
The proposal would expand the dual enrollment program to allow more high school juniors and seniors to attend college classes, for free. Students would be able to attend up to two classes at the Vermont State Colleges, the University of Vermont, and participating private institutions.
"We think this is a great opportunity to be able to take students who currently aren't getting beyond high school or who are having trouble affording college which is our biggest challenge right now facing Vermont's college-bound students and give them the opportunity to get up to a year of college credit while they're in high school," Shumlin said. "Now that's a huge development."
The courses would cost $150 if taken at the high school and $350 if taught at the college and would be financed by $800,000 in state funding over two years. After that the state would cover half the cost, with the high schools covering the rest.
The proposal is part of a package the governor has proposed and a coalition of education officials, colleges and business leaders support. The plan aims to ensure all Vermont children have access to quality education including programs in science, technology, engineering and math, and opportunities to go to college and get job training, the governor said.
About 600 high school juniors and seniors and 300 technical center students across the state are taking college courses, said Tim Donovan, chancellor of the Vermont State Colleges.
That's about 1 in 7 high school seniors, he said.
The opportunity has had an extraordinary impact not just on the kids who are already planning to go to college but to those who are wavering, he said.
The goal of the latest proposal is to make the program available to more kids.
"It will make higher education more affordable for Vermont students at a very early age; it will knock down those financial barriers for access to success for our students in our Vermont colleges and universities and importantly it will advance and encourage students to graduate on time, which, of course, has a financial as well as an academic impact," said UVM president Thomas Sullivan.

CUES Names John Pembroke as New COO
A former PSCU executive has been named the new senior vice president and chief operating officer at CUES, the Madison, Wis.-based executive leadership group said.
John Pembroke joins CUES from CW Financial in Silver Spring, Md., where he was COO. He also has been chief strategy officer for Shared Vision in Tampa, Fla., and chief marketing and product development officer for PSCU in St. Petersburg, Fla., his new employer said.
Pembroke succeeds Barb Kachelski, who left CUES to become the executive director of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Pembroke – who holds a bachelor's degree from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from the University of Chicago – also has held leadership roles at Cox Enterprises, Kellogg, Kraft Foods and Procter & Gamble, CUES said.
"I've had a lifelong affiliation with credit unions, and I'm happy to become a member of the CUES team. I've always held the organization and staff in high regard, and I look forward to being a part of building CUES' brand and business into the future," Pembroke said in the CUES announcement.
"We are very excited to have John join the CUES team. His background with brand management, ecommerce, and product development is a great fit as CUES works to position the company in executing our mission to develop credit union CEOs, directors and future leaders," said Chuck Fagan, CUES president/CEO.
Fagan, a former executive vice president at PSCU, took the helm at CUES this year.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are given to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
Screening Guidelines
Although doctors usually ask about eating and exercise during exams, there are no national screening guidelines for eating disorders. However, the annual National Eating Disorders Association is sponsored by a number of prestigious organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, and National Collegiate Athletic Association. The program incorporates educational materials, a short screening questionnaire, and post-questionnaire follow up by a knowledgeable eating disorders counselor.
Examples of questions from the screening questionnaire include:
- Are you terrified about being overweight?
- Have you gone on eating binges where you feel you may not be able to stop?
- Do you feel extremely guilty after eating?
- Do you vomit or have the impulse to vomit after meals?
- Do you feel that food controls your life?

Boozer doesn't significantly upgrade this team defensively even if Andrea is the player going the other way. He might not blow rotations or be passive defensively but he's still an average to below average defender.
Bulls want to get rid of him because they don't want to pay that contract. And his contract IS large for a player of his productivity.
What's wrong with ending up like Memphis? Top 4-5 seed in the West no?
Most good teams (OKC, Miami, Memphis, SA) spend money on players that help them win, plain and simple. They don't overpay role players. Booozer is not going to impact winning that much on this Raps team.
I would agree with you that Boozer is better than Andrea but how good is he really and what will his impact be on the floor when it comes to w vs l's?
Most of Chicago's perimeter guys including Deng are volume shooters. Andrea, when motivated, can shoot and he might add another dimension to that team in a specific role. If Thibs can't make him do what is needed, I doubt any coach can.
I feel like Boozer is the sort of player who would complain and hate coming to Toronto... Just a vibe I get from his personality.
take a look at this trade the salary total would be almost equal
the trade here also adresses chicagos 3 pt shooting by sending 2 players
Interesting Chicago perspective. People do weird things when it comes to the luxury tax.
Boozer has 3 years left on his contract, this is considered moderate risk, high reward with his age given (31)
with the toughness he brings Toronto really needed inside since losing Ed Davis.
Either way, boozer has a contract that should keep our core group together
Derozan:5 yrs
Ross:4 yrs
Valanciunas:4 yrs
Amir:4 yrs
Rudy:3 yrs
Fields:3 yrs

If I get this straight, according to Matt52's post at 6:47 (?), these "talks" aren't active at all. When the "talks" took place, Chicago initiated them, whatever the other details were, BC dismissed the proposal. Now Stein is speculating that maybe the Raps might be interested if the "sweeten the pot" with Nate.
We're talking about someone's speculation that Nate Robinson is suddenly going to change BC's mind by offering Lowry 2.0? Really? As I said in another post, internet NBA writers across the continent know how to up their hits, no matter how real/unreal the bullshit regarding the Raps is.
Give us marquis Teague and a first round pick and we'll do it
Update seems aptors are the ones holding back The deal would include Bargnani + "fan favorite" (shudders) JL3 for Boozer and Nate Robinson....
Chicago seems to be the ones pursuing this deal not Toronto as much. Interesting Maybe Boozer and that rookie guard of theirs would do it.

In a complaint filed by the SEC against Eric Lipkin in June 2011, the SEC charged the employee of Bernard Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BMIS) with helping to perpetuate Madoff's fraudulent, multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme. Lipkin worked in Madoff's advisory operation and was charged by the SEC with repeated material misrepresentations. Among the many allegations in the SEC's complaint, Lipkin helped BMIS mislead customers who sought the firm's proxy voting records.
According to the complaint, BMIS did not participate in proxy voting because the firm did not actually purchase stock on behalf of investment advisory clients. Lipkin researched proxy information to determine what issues were being voted upon. He would then draft letters to clients making inquiries, which falsely stated that BMIS had voted with corporate management on these proxy votes. Creating these fictitious records helped to cover up Madoff's phony "split-strike conversion strategy."
The typical proxy voting problem uncovered by securities examiners is nothing like the scheme orchestrated by Madoff and his co-conspirators. The issue is whether the RIA fulfilled its fiduciary duty in connection with proxy voting.
A proxy is an agent legally authorized to act on behalf of another party. When a company holds its annual meeting to vote on issues affecting the corporation, most shareholders don't attend. Proxies authorize a designated person to cast votes according to the instructions given by the shareholder. At the onset of an advisory relationship, advisors must make it clear to clients if the RIA or the client is responsible for making decisions regarding how proxies should be voted.
Fiduciary Duty as it Relates to Proxy Voting
As we saw during our analysis of an RIA's fiduciary obligations, proxies must be voted in the best interest of the client. RIAs do not, however, owe a fiduciary duty to vote proxies. If an RIA does not vote proxies for clients, the firm must fully disclose it will not perform this service in its Form ADV disclosure brochure. On several occasions, RIAs were criticized for having a proxy voting policy inconsistent with their Form ADVs.
To comply with its fiduciary obligations, an RIA must be certain that the firm's policies and procedures relating to proxy voting are thorough and address potential conflicts of interest. If RIAs are authorized to vote proxies, they must always make decisions in their clients' best interests.
Background on the Proxy Voting Rule
Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act helps to ensure that SEC-registered advisors act in the best interests of their clients when exercising proxy voting authority. Furthermore, RIAs must comply with Rule 204-2, requiring them to retain proxy voting books and records.
The SEC adopted Rule 206(4)-6 to regulate proxy voting by RIAs with the responsibility to vote their clients' proxies. As a fiduciary, an RIA owes each of its clients the duties of care and loyalty to all services undertaken on the client's behalf, which may include proxy voting. To satisfy its duty of loyalty, RIAs must cast proxy votes in a manner that the advisor believes will advance the best interest of its client. The RIA should never put its own interests ahead of the client's.
Under Rule 206(4)-6, it is a fraudulent, deceptive, or manipulative act, practice, or course of business for RIAs to exercise voting authority over client proxies before taking the following steps:
- Adopting and implementing written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that the RIA votes proxies in the client's best interest
- Disclosing to clients what they need to do to obtain information regarding how their proxies were voted
- Describing proxy voting policies and procedures and furnishing them to clients upon request
The policies and procedures implemented pursuant to Rule 206(4)-6 must be in writing and part of an RIA's compliance manual. They must be designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interest of each client, and must address how material conflicts of interest between the RIA and the client are resolved. It is not sufficient for policies and procedures to stipulate that all proxies will be voted in the best interest of the client.
RIAs may have a number of conflicts affecting how they vote proxies. By adopting and implementing policies and procedures for voting proxies, clients are less likely to be harmed by these potential conflicts of interest.
RIAs having explicit or implicit voting authority must comply with Rule 206(4)-6. Therefore, even when the advisory contract is silent on this point, the rule applies because the RIA's voting responsibility is implied by an overall delegation of discretionary authority. The rule does not apply, however, to RIAs that provide clients only with general advice about voting proxies and do not have authority or responsibility to vote them.
If an RIA manages assets on a discretionary basis but does not vote proxies, Form ADV Part 2A and the firm's advisory agreement should advise clients that this is their own responsibility. It is also a good idea for an RIA's compliance manual to spell out that the firm does not vote proxies for clients if that is the firm's policy.
Enforcement Action Arising out of RIA's Proxy Voting Rule Violations
On May 8, 2009, the SEC announced that it had filed charges against INTECH Investment Management LLC and the firm's former chief operating officer (COO) for violating the proxy voting rule. According to the SEC's press release, this was the first enforcement action brought by the SEC based on a proxy voting rule violation. The SEC alleged that the RIA failed to address how the firm would handle material conflicts of interest in their proxy voting policies and procedures. The SEC also charged the firm and its COO with committing other violations of Rule 206(4)-6.
INTECH and its COO consented to the SEC's order without admitting or denying any of the Commission's findings. The firm agreed to pay $300,000 and the COO was assessed a penalty of $50,000. Both the firm and the COO were censured and ordered to cease and desist from violating Rule 206(4)-6.
Although it is unusual to see enforcement actions arising from an RIA's failure to enact thorough and complete proxy voting policies and procedures, it is common for examiners to observe deficiencies during compliance exams. For example, examiners may observe that an RIA's disclosure brochure, advisory contracts, and policies and procedures clearly state that the firm does not vote proxies on behalf of clients. A problem arises if examiners discover the advisor is, in fact, voting proxies for some clients but not others.
Record-Keeping Requirements Pertaining to Proxy Voting
Rule 204-2 requires RIAs to maintain certain records relating to proxy voting. RIAs that exercise voting authority with respect to a client's securities are required to make and retain all of the following:
- Copies of all policies and procedures in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6
- A copy of each proxy statement that the RIA receives regarding a client's securities. A firm may comply with this requirement by relying on a third party, such as a proxy voting service, or the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system
- A record of each vote cast by the RIA on behalf of a client. A firm may fulfill this requirement by relying on a third-party service to provide these records, which must be able to supply proxy voting records promptly if requested to do so
- A copy of any document created by the RIA that was material in deciding how to vote proxies on a client's behalf or that articulates the basis for that decision
- A copy of each written request from clients asking for information regarding how the RIA voted proxies on their behalf
An RIA must also retain copies of any written response to clients who ask for information regarding how the firm voted their proxies. The written response must be retained, even if the client's request was not in writing.
The Big Picture
RIAs are not required to vote proxies on behalf of their clients. If they do not, however, the RIA's policies and procedures, disclosure brochure, and advisory agreement should clearly articulate that the firm will not undertake this task. Where an RIA does assume responsibility for voting proxies, the firm's policies and procedures should help to ensure that votes are cast in the best interest of the client.
RIAs sometimes contradict themselves in their Form ADVs, advisory agreements, and policies and procedures. For example, an RIA may disclose in its Form ADV that the firm votes proxies for clients. The firm's advisory agreement, however, may state that the RIA has no obligation to vote clients' proxies. The inconsistency is exacerbated when the RIA's policies and procedures spell out a process for voting proxies that isn't followed. All three of these documents should be consistent on proxy voting. If the RIA does vote proxies on the client's behalf, the process should be clearly defined in the firm's policies and procedures and should be followed to the letter. If there are inconsistencies, an RIA will run into problems during a compliance examination.
Clients are informed about an advisor's proxy voting policies in their advisory contracts and in the firm's Form ADV disclosure brochure. Figure 19-1, shows an example of language used by advisory firms in their disclosure brochures.
Figure 19-1. Proxy Voting Disclosure Brochure Language
We will determine how to vote proxies based on our reasonable judgment of the vote most likely to produce favorable financial results for you. Proxy votes generally will be cast in favor of proposals that maintain or strengthen the shared interests of shareholders and management, increase shareholder value, maintain or increase shareholder influence over the issuer's board of directors and management, and maintain or increase the rights of shareholders. Generally, proxy votes will be cast against proposals having the opposite effect. However, we will consider both sides of each proxy issue. Unless we receive specific instructions from you, we will not base votes on social considerations.
Conflicts of interest between you and our firm, or a principal of our firm, regarding certain proxy issues could arise. If we determine that a material conflict of interest exists, we will take the necessary steps to resolve the conflict before voting the proxies. For example, we may disclose the existence and nature of the conflict to you, and seek direction from you as to how to vote on a particular issue; we may abstain from voting, particularly if there are conflicting interests for you (for example, where your account(s) hold different securities in a competitive merger situation); or, we will take other necessary steps designed to ensure that a decision to vote is in your best interest and was not the product of the conflict.
*Used with permission from National Compliance Services, Inc.
Although clients receive an RIA's disclosure brochure, there is no obligation to provide copies of the firm's policies and procedures. One advisory firm mistakenly believed it was required to send out its proxy voting policies on an annual basis, which is not the case. Certainly, if a client asks to see copies of the RIA's policies and procedures, the firm should provide them.

Column-writing for me is a bit like conducting a sloppy science experiment. The process usually begins with what seems to be a sound idea that then spends several days or weeks being subjected to tests, rearrangements, dependent and independent variables, outside review, and external data. It is all very, very formal.
Or not. But the best columns and editorials result from the widest range of input, and the more factors, viewpoints and research conversations, really and in the interest of expanding those conversations, we here in The Durango Heralds opinion shop are adding a new feature or two.
Beginning in April, we will hold two informal public editorial board meetings each month one over morning coffee; one in the afternoon. Locations and exact times will vary. That way, we offer an equal-opportunity chance to nurture a broad discussion of local, state and national issues around which the sessions will be loosely framed. We will announce the topics in advance of the biweekly meetings, but will welcome conversation outside those issues as well.
With these meetings, we aim to gather readers input about the issues that shape our lives here in Durango. My hunch and hope is that these will range from policy concerns to pragmatics, with politics infusing both. Mostly, our role will be to listen. We will not use the sessions to formulate our editorial positions at least not directly but rather to draw from an even broader field of input when we are establishing our stance on local, statewide and national concerns.
There is some precedent for these types of open sessions, both at the Herald and at newspapers across the country. The spectrum of openness in newsrooms ranges from Fort Knoxish to doors ajar. The Register Citizen, in Connecticut, has what it calls an open newsroom, wherein it invites the public to its editorial board meetings as well as to its daily story meetings. That level of public participation is an interesting experiment in community journalism as an interactive practice; most papers do not delve so fully into such endeavors.
In past years, the Herald has held public editorial board meetings on a somewhat erratic schedule, with equally erratic participation. The sessions eventually fizzled into dormancy, but the ongoing conversation with the public is something we are committed to reviving in a number of formats, beginning with the public sessions.
We hope you can join us for these sessions, the first of which will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday at Eno, 723 E. Second Avenue in Durango. Stay tuned for topics.
In addition to these live sessions, I will begin a blog version of this column, called Policy & Politics Digest, containing daily posts focusing on, you guessed it, politics and policy ranging from the local to the national. These posts will offer readers an opportunity to comment, and I look forward to an online conversation about the issues of the day.
These forums for hearing from readers about the issues are, we hope, an opportunity to broaden our relationships in the community, the stories we tell, and the concerns we consider.

My vote is firmly for MLSE to retain Colangelo; the sooner the better and with a contract that shows their commitment to him.
I think the way he handled himself was as good an example as any. As we all know he can spin and lobby for his cause with the best of them; 'you're right, I was wrong' is not a phrase he's ever run through Google Translate.
But in his own way he's been more accountable than he's typically given credit. He never set out to become the face of the franchise when he came from Phoenix, but he very much has been, which has been a less desirable role in the past 18 months than it was before.under Colangelo's watch, with his own contract and the contracts of the rest of the front office staff and the coaching staff hanging in the balance and heading into what will likely be a lockout year, he did what was probably the hardest thing for him to do which was, essentially, not much.
The biggest deal was to move Jarrett Jack's contract for Jerryd Bayless; gaining cap relief and a young player with some potential. Acquiring James Johnson from Chicago for a low first-round pick was also a low-risk move to gain a player with reasonable upside at little cost and no salary cap implications.
But mostly the year was about letting the season run like water down a dry creek bed as an over-matched team with injuries and personel issues found it's level and will have the third-best chance to win the first overall pick in the NBA draft lottery. As a man who fusses over decorating touches in the Raptors dressing room and the shade of red on the floor when it was repainted; simply letting things unfold was an act of considerable restraint and sacrifice.
That was accomplished while players like DeMar DeRozen and Amir Johnson continued to develop; while the roster managed to play hard deep into the fourth quarter most nights. The accusations of his man-crush for Andrea Bargnani have generally been off-base. Sure he made the pick; but the kid has been just good enough to get people fired and will continue to be just that for the rest of his career. Colangelo signed him to a relatively cap-friendly deal of $50-million over five years and there will be no hesitation to trade him now that five years into his career there's a comfort level within the organization that Bargnani is most likely going to be one of those players who looks like an MVP candidate some nights and a decent sixth man some others and shot-hogging stiff everyone once in a while just to confuse things.
Winning is what professional sports is all about; but there's something to be said for an executive who has experienced the heights of industry – putting together 60-win teams; winning executive of the year recognition twice – accepting (perhaps too late or too grudgingly for my tastes) the need to take multiple steps back in order to go forward again.Source: The Globe And MailWe'd all have more confidence in MLSE if they'd recognized they wanted to fire Colangelo and had an alternative plan in place and made the move in December. That would suggest sports intellects in charge that could plot a clear path and execute.
But that never happened and instead there was the single person most closely identified with a $399-million asset and one of the most influential and respected figures in the sport giving a season-ending press conference qualifying nearly every answer with some version of "If I'm here" and listing his accomplishments like an MBA grad at a job interview: "In terms of passion for the business and dedication to the organization …I would hope people think I am the right guy."
The temptation to light a fire to the whole thing, I'm sure, was real. To just say it's been five years of climbing up hill here; I did some pretty good things; I took some risks and not all of them worked out, but guess what? This is pro sports; not the investment industry. There are no management fees built-in to assure everyone a profit regardless of what happens to market.
Those so eager to see Colangelo move on might want to give a some hard thought to what the Plan B might be.
I am extremely certain that as is, if Colangelo is allowed to walk, a lesser GM will take his place at a critical moment of a Raptors rebuild. It's just plain stupid not to keep him when they have no backup plan. It's not fair to us the fans even if we don't all realize the negative consequences of what may unfold thanks to some accountant on the board representing a investment group who could care less about how the product looks or how the fans feel about it.

Along with the warm temperatures and long daylight hours of summer comes the irresistible urge to play outside. Maybe that is why millions of Americans participate in organized softball leagues.
Though playing softball is a great way to get fresh air, spend time with friends, and impress co-workers with your athletic prowess, it is not quite the injury-free, non-contact sport many participants believe it to be. In fact, softball injuries can lead to emergency room visits. Some common injuries include:
- Abrasions—cuts and scrapes
- Contusions
- Ankle sprains
- Strained hamstrings and quadriceps
- Strained Achilles tendon or calf muscle
- Finger injuries
- Shoulder and arm injuries
- Head injuries from player collisions or being hit in the head with a ball
Luckily, many of these injuries are preventable. The key is to stay in shape all year long.
Preparation in the Off-season
Take a cue from the pros and take steps to prevent injuries before the season begins.
An important thing for softballers to work on is flexibility. Softball entails a lot of starting and stopping, bending and twisting, and bursts of motion. Good flexibility will save you from a lot of the strains and tears. Consider a comprehensive stretching program all year, paying plenty of attention to calves, hamstrings, quadriceps, trunk muscles, shoulders, and arms. Yoga can also help you gain flexibility.
In the off-season, you can also work on developing muscle strength in both the upper and lower body. Focus should be on the shoulders. Throwing a ball incorrectly or without proper strength in the shoulder, elbow, and wrist can lead to injury.
Cardiovascular Training
Cardiovascular training is important. It will build up your endurance, which is handy when you are running around a softball field. Try biking, jogging, swimming, cross-country skiing, or some other aerobic exercise to build up a base level of aerobic fitness. Make sure that your aerobic training includes sprint work. Sprinting will help your speed, agility, and give you that quick burst of speed that you will need to steal a base or chase a ball.
Before the Game
You spent the off-season getting ready for spring. Now what? You are almost ready to take the field. Before you do, make sure you warm up in advance at each practice and game. Here are some tips to get moving:
- Get the blood flowing. Start with a light cardiovascular warm-up to get your heart rate up and your muscles warm. Try some simple jumping jacks or jogging.
- Stretch your muscles. Do several minutes of total body stretching, focusing especially on shoulders and hamstrings. Keep in mind you should stretch every day to maintain flexibility.
- Warm up your arm. Warm up your throwing motion, first without the ball, then with the ball. Throw gently for five or so minutes, gradually increasing speed and distance.
- Practice your swing. Simulate batting motion, first without the bat, then with the bat. Start with a slow and deliberate motion and gradually increase speed and strength of swing.
- Stay loose. Remember that you will be standing still a lot during the game, so try to jog in place and keep stretching to stay warm while you are not in motion.
Proper Technique
Many softball injuries are throwing-related or sliding-related. Proper technique can save you from many of these. Work with a coach or an experienced player to make sure your technique is correct.
Learning the proper way to slide takes practice. Start out with a sliding bag. When you work your way up to bases, always use a breakaway base.
The same goes for throwing: You need to do it right. Your whole body should be used during a throw, from your legs, through your trunk, to your shoulder and down your arm. Improper technique can cause a lot of pain. And never throw too hard, too fast. Start by throwing short distances, softly.
Common Sense
There are plenty of simple steps you can take to make a softball game safer. Here are some examples:
- Communicate with your fellow outfielders. Make sure you know where everyone is and who is going for the ball to help avoid collisions.
- Have a good glove. You do not want a glove that is so old or so small that it does not stay on or the ball pops out of it.
- Do not block the base. You will avoid collisions with runners if you give them a clear path to the base.
- Use breakaway bases. If you are setting up the field, make sure to use bags that give when a runner slides into them. It might make the field less tidy, but they can save many a sprained or broken ankle.
- Wear a helmet. A helmet will help protect you from a head injury.
- Use kneepads and sliding pants. You'll avoid a lot of cuts, abrasions, and bruises.
- Wear an ankle brace. If you have a history of ankle sprains and you're playing on a field that's not in great condition, you'll need a little extra support.
- Wear protective goggles over your glasses. You don't want lenses shattering in your eyes.
- Be alert. Know where the ball is and make an effort not to let it hit you in the head, even when you are not on the field.
- Treat your injuries. If you do suffer a softball injury, take care of it. Respect a sore arm, and rest it so you don't get seriously injured. If you suffer a contusion, ice the injury and apply compression to prevent excessive swelling. And if you're seriously injured, don't try to buck the statistics. Get to the emergency room.
When the sun sets on the summer and you make your last dash to the dugout, start thinking about your fall and winter workout plans. It will improve your game and help keep you safe.

HGL is a compiler/interpreter suite for developing images. It features its own simple but powerful language, Lua integration, output in various formats as well as runtime input handled by plugins, and easy integration into various environments like Web servers or graphical applications. The input is taken from a source file, which has to be compiled for quick and frequent access by the interpreter. An interpreter then runs the compiled files, takes input from custom plugins (if neccessary), and outputs its result via custom plugins.
RoseThorn is a cross-platform library for 2D and 3D games running on GNU/Linux (and possibly other Unix-like OSes) and Windows. Features include: hardware accelerated 2D and 3D rendering; Ogg and WAV Sound support with OpenAL; Lua scripting; BMP, JPEG, and PNG image loading and saving (from screenshots); easily created and modified user interfaces with XML and CSS, combined with Lua event handling; separate 2D and 3D libraries; support for multiple fonts in both TTF and bitmap formats; support for OBJ, 3DS, MD5, and RTM model formats; skeletal animation (a work in progress); support for UDP and TCP networking; thread and mutex support; a Simple Shader API; 2D animated sprites; and some basic cryptography support. There is simple event management, with key/mouse bindings easily customized from the in-game console, config file, command line, or GUI.
jPDFImages is a Java library to export images from PDF files and import images into PDF files. It can create images from pages in a PDF document and export them as JPEG, TIFF, or PNG images. It can return the image of any page in the document to the host Java application as a BufferedImage for further processing or to save in different formats. It can create documents or add pages to existing documents by importing TIFF, JPEG, and PNG images. After creating or modifying a document, it can save to the local filesystem or to an output stream to be able to serve the document directly to a client browser when working within a J2EE server. jPDFImages is built on top of Qoppa's proprietary PDF technology, so you do not have to install any third party software or drivers. It is also 100% Java, so it is completely platform-independent.
Animmerger stitches 2D images together into either a static image or an animation, while attempting to preserve a global frame of reference (static background). That is, for a movie that follows an actor around (and the background scrolls to follow them), it creates a movie that has a fixed background, and the camera moves around in the scene. The most obvious application of animmerger is in automatic map stitching for 2D video games, but there are many general purposes for which the program can be used. Its color quantization and dithering algorithm set is particularly advanced.
Tacticalendar is an innovative calendar design implemented in SVG. It always lets you see 4 weeks ahead, even at the end of the month, unlike ordinary month-view calendars. When a week has passed, the oldest week slides out of the top. All the other weeks slide up. The oldest week is erased, reconfigured, and slides back in below to create a future week. The project provides source files authored through Inkscape using free fonts, with PNG previews for those without a suitable SVG renderer.

By attorney Stacy Kemp, Special to THELAW.TV
When one hears the phrase "pre-nup," the image of a wealthy tycoon and a young swimsuit model comes to mind. However, a prenuptial agreement should be considered by every couple (regardless of income level) before they walk down the aisle. Here are 10 reasons why:
- Learn more about each other: Sure, you may know a lot about your fiancée. You wouldn't be getting married if you didn't. But do you know about their financial habits and history? Do you know about their debt? Often, people do not, and what's worse is that there is never a "good" time to have that talk. Discussing a prenuptial agreement gives you an opening to explore these topics in-depth and get to know each other's financial situation.
- Business relationship: Marriage is, at least in part, a business relationship. However, that does not mean it has to be a cold, calculating, multinational corporate merger. You can look at it as if it were your favorite folksy, charming local coffee shop partnering with the lovely, little ice parlor next door. Writing out goals, obligations, and expectations should be part of any good plan. It does not mean an absence of love.
- Future alimony: Many couples choose to have children and to have one person stay home and raise the child. While understandable, this creates two financial problems. First, the person who remains working must be able to support the family on one income. But, also, the person staying home is giving up future income. If this couple gets a divorce, alimony talks can go back and forth on "You chose to stay home because you didn't want to work" vs "I gave up my career, so I could raise our child." At this point, the parties are too emotional to address this issue. If this topic were addressed in a prenuptial agreement, the spectre of alimony should not need to be addressed.
- Property: Ask yourself, what do you think is the most likely way the average person would get property that is entirely paid off before they decided to marry? The answer is a relative, most likely a parent or grandparent. While having to pay a former spouse $10,000 in a divorce hurts, it is not as painful as having to sell granny's old farm because your spouse is entitled to a certain percentage of it. Granted, there are laws in place to protect inherited property at the moment, but they can always be challenged or changed. Address it beforehand.
- Cheaper, faster divorce: Have you ever seen a news story covering a celebrity couple's divorce? Ever notice how many of them take years to settle? Well, sadly, that situation is not "unique to the stars." Divorces even amongst average people can be very long, and the longer they go, the more expensive they get. Other than possibly time-sharing (child custody), money is the biggest reason for the continued battles. If you have your money situation spelled out prior to the marriage, the proceeding will likely go much faster.
- Abandon a bad marriage: "It's cheaper to keep her … or him" is an all too common phrase. People become so concerned over the possible financial ruin of a divorce that they will stay in a broken, loveless marriage for economic stability. Obviously, this not only makes both parties miserable, but can also have a tremendously bad effect on their children. If everything is written out fairly, then the fear of financial ruin is no longer there. With that fear gone, both parties can leave a failed marriage before any more damage is done.
- Control of your future: If you can help it, you do not want to be subjected to the courts. You may win, you may lose, but there's a lot of uncertainty there. Rulings can always be appealed. Take the time to map out a plan that is fair for you both while you both are looking out for each other's best interests.
- Protect your business: If you own your own business, a divorce can cause that business a number of problems. Protect it in a prenuptial agreement.
- Protect you from debt: Couples rarely just wake up one day and decide "let's get a divorce." It is usually something that festers over time, and during that time, people make bad decisions. A common one is racking up credit card debt, which can get very expensive in a short time. A prenuptial agreement let's your creditors know that the spouse who racked up the bill is the one who will be responsible for paying it after the divorce.
Protect children: Whether through death or divorce, second and third marriages are becoming more common. Sometimes these marriages suffer, because the children from the previous marriage(s) are skeptical that this "newcomer" is going take their inheritance. A prenuptial agreement can alleviate this fear.

Why not use it as a 3rd jersey? or use it on vintage night/month like some of the other teams like the Heat, Hawks, Pacers etc are doing??

I like the purple & black too, especially with so many other teams having switched to red lately, such as Milwaukee (and there were already several red teams to begin with).
I'm all for getting back to these colors. This would make our team unique. About half the NBA is wearing red, black and white jerseys.
No. I want them to change to straight blue and white like the Leafs. Something similar to what Kentucky wears. They don't have to change to Huskies either... Polar Bears would would be cool if they could shorten it somehow.
Just one year away... Bruno is almost here!
Yeah, purple and black would be OK without the cartoon dinosaur and pin stripes.
blue and white would be perfect just like the leafs and the jays
Please no blue and white. Baseball and hockey are the most boring sports to watch. Don't need bball to be associated with them.
The purple and black is my favorite. If I'm right, they first replaced purple with red but retained the black which was not great but OK. Now the black is gone too. Would love to see the purple and black back.
Attitude Is A Choice.
No More purple Dino's!!
EWw, why do people want the Raps to have the same colours as the Leafs (and Jays)?? Isn't it better if each team has their own distinct identity?? I don't want the Raps more associated to the Leafs (the most embarrassingly run franchise in pro sports for half a century) than they already are.
If the colours need to change, how about a new GM while were at it?
The only respectable throwbacks are the original white jerseys (not counting the amazing Huskies throwbacks). The current crop of red/white/black/camo are a huge step up from the rest of them anyway....

Brett Brunner won a gold medal in the 4-way formation skydiving event last week at the 2012 U.S. Parachute Association National Collegiate Parachuting Championships.
It is the oldest and biggest collegiate skydiving event in the world. The competition took place at Skydive Arizona in Eloy, south of Phoenix, Dec. 28, 2012 through Jan. 2.
Nearly 100 fearless collegiate skydivers from around the country put their books aside over the winter break to compete at the national championships. Divers pushed their aerial skills to the limit, while competing for the title of national champion in four spectacular skydiving disciplines. The four disciplines are formation skydiving, vertical formation skydiving, sport accuracy and classic accuracy.
In formation skydiving, the team leaps from an aircraft more than two miles above the ground and then races against the clock to form prescribed geometric formations in free fall, before opening their parachutes. Brunner, a Dolores native and Dolores High School graduate, is a senior at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, majoring in civil engineering. He has completed more than 600 skydives and is a member of the skydiving team Air Force Legacy.

No. 10 Florida returns home on a 36-hour turnaround to face No. 17 Missouri.
Florida had a simple defensive mission in its convincing 68-47 win Thursday night at Texas A&M.
It won't be quite as easy today when the Gators return home on a 36-hour turnaround to face No. 17 Missouri.
To beat the Aggies, the Gators blanketed senior guard Elston Turner, who was held to just four points on 1-of-10 shooting. Turner had scored 40 points in his previous game against Kentucky.
But Missouri features a more balanced team with four healthy scorers in double figures. Also, the Gators must figure out how to minimize the impact of one of the best point guards in college basketball.
Missouri junior Phil Pressey leads the Southeastern Conference in assists at 7.3 per game, accounting for more than half of the Tigers' total assists (14.4 apg).
"He's terrific at what he does," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "I think the thing that he does that's the sign of a great player is a player who can make other people around him better, and certainly he does that as well as anyone in the country."
Missouri comes into the game without leading scorer Laurence Bowers (16.8 ppg.), who is out indefinitely with a knee injury. But the Tigers still have plenty of offensive firepower, led by guard Jabari Brown (13.9 ppg), Pressey (12.9 ppg), Connecticut transfer Alex Oriakhi (10.4 ppg.) and Auburn transfer Earnest Ross (10.3 ppg).
Donovan said Missouri's scoring balance begins with Pressey's court vision and decision-making ability.
"He understands rotations," Donovan said. "He understands how the floor is moving. And then he finds people and he gives a lot of their players a lot of opportunities to take a lot of open shots, whether it's Oriakhi rolling to the basket for dunks, or whether it's finding Brown or anybody else on the perimeter for 3s."
Scottie Wilbekin will get the initial defensive assignment on Pressey, like he did against Turner. But Donovan said Wilbekin will get plenty of help from his teammates. And Florida's approach defensively will be different than what it was against Turner, considering Pressey's ability to create as well as score.
"One of the things that makes them a great team in my opinion is the ability of Pressey to find people that are open," Donovan said. "So you can sit there and give him a lot of attention and then all of a sudden he's finding people for wide-open shots, and that becomes really challenging."
It helps the Gators are returning home. Florida, a 13.5-point favorite according to Latest Line, is expecting its first sellout of the season at the 12,000-seat O'Connell Center for its first meeting with Missouri.
"That's cool," Florida senior guard Mike Rosario said. "It's going to be a great atmosphere and we're going to be ready."
Missouri's physicality up front has taken a blow due to the injury of Bowers (6-foot-8, 227 pounds), who is out with an MCL sprain. But the Tigers still come into the game leading the SEC in rebounding margin at plus-10.3. Oriakhi, the starting center on UConn's 2011 national championship team, is third in the SEC in rebounding at 8.6 per game.
The battle royal in the paint between the 255-pound Oriakhi and 249-pound Florida junior center Patric Young should be worth watching.
"They are going to come in here fired up," Young said. "They believe they have a chance to win the conference just like we believe we have a chance to win the conference."
Florida will be playing its first and only two-day turnaround in league play this season. But the Gators have had success preparing quickly under Donovan. Florida went 4-0 in Thursday-Saturday turnarounds in SEC play last season and is 14-1 in Thursday-Saturday games since the 2009-10 season.
"We have a lot of veteran guys that are used to it," Young said. "We'll take care of our bodies to make sure we get our rest. When the ball is tipped, we'll be ready. There won't be any excuses."
