Bubble boys Cocalico awaits District fate after defeating Mules
By: TODD RUTH Review Sports Editor email@example.com, Staff Writer
The Cocalico boys basketball team will practice Wednesday, just like any other day.
However, the work they put in may be all for naught since they enter Wednesday on the outside looking in as far as Districts are concerned.
Wednesday night is the final game day that will count as far as the District Power Rankings are concerned. The Eagles, who were ranked 23rd heading into Tuesday's regular-season finale vs. Solanco (the top 20 qualify for Districts), did their part, earning a 65-56 victory over the Mules.
However, Lebanon, Manheim Township, Central Dauphin and Lower Dauphin, all ranked ahead of the Eagles, were winners Tuesday.
So now they sit, or rather practice, and wait.
"I don't know how it's going to pan out," Cocalico Coach Travis Wealand said late Tuesday. "There are some games yet to be played (Wednesday) night. We'll see what the new standings are (after Wednesday), see what happens and we'll go from there. We are still hopeful."
Tuesday night, the Eagles used a big second half to overtake the Mules. Trailing 34-30 at the break, Cocalico out-scored Solanco, 35-22 in the second half to capture the all-important win.
Freshman Tucker Lescoe had a monster game, scoring a career-high 30 points to pace the Eagles. Oliver Denlinger chipped in with 12 while Spencer Moser added 10 in the victory.
It was Cocalico's second-straight win after losing a heartbreaker on a last-second shot at Lebanon one week ago. That loss, as it turned out, was crucial as far as the Eagles playoff hopes were concerned. But Wealand was pleased how his team has responded after such a tough loss.
"These kids want to succeed and do well," Wealand said. "We just didn't pull out a couple of those games that we had a chance to and that's what comes back to haunt you. I'm real proud of how we came around and tried to finish the season on a positive note."
Cocalico (8-8 Section Two, 12-10 overall) entered Tuesday's match-up after winning a wild 85-82 triple overtime thriller Friday in Ephrata. But despite their incredible win, the Eagles were eliminated from L-L playoff contention Friday, thanks to Lebanon's upset victory over Section Two champion Elizabethtown which earned the Cedars the final bid from Section Two based on the third tiebreaker which is record against the section champion.
The Cedars (9-7, 13-9) handled business anyway Tuesday, earning a hard-fought 51-47 home win over Ephrata.
The Mounts led 28-23 at the break but could not hold it as the Cedars outscored them, 28-19 the rest of the way to claim the victory.
Josh Spaulding led a trio of Cedars in scoring, dropping in 14 on the night. Ephrata's Aaron Hubbard led all scorers with 17 while Evan Radcliffe chipped in with 11 for the Mounts, who closed out the season at 4-12 in Section Two (5-17 overall).
Back to this past Friday where Ephrata got out of the gates fast as Radcliffe's two three-pointers ignited a 14-2 spurt and a 14-3 Mounts' lead after one quarter of play.
In the second, Cocalico's Moser canned treys on successive trips to ignite an Eagle run that left them trailing just 15-13 midway through the period. However, Ephrata finished the half on a 6-0 run to go back up by eight (21-13) and seemingly re-take the momentum.
But it was the Eagles, and senior Brock Gosling who got hot in the third. Gosling, who had just three points at the half, would go on to score nine in the period, which included a lay-up at the buzzer to end the third to put Cocalico up by three at 29-26.
The Eagles then appeared to be in control, and led 44-39 after a pair of Gosling foul shots with 20 seconds to go. But the fun was only getting started.
Hubbard went hard to the hole, was fouled and made a key three-point play to cut it to two (44-42) with nine seconds to go. Then after Lescoe missed a pair of free throws, Ephrata got it's chance to tie. And off an inbounds play from under the basket, Hubbard worked free and made a lay-up at the buzzer to sent it into overtime.
It was Ephrata which looked to be in good shape in the first OT. The Mounts held a 51-47 lead with 47 seconds to go, but a Lescoe lay-up got the Eagles to within two with 32 seconds left.
Then after Roman Heckstall missed a pair of foul shots at the other end, Lescoe, who had just six points through regulation but scored 23 when it was all said and done, drained a three from NBA range to put the Eagles suddenly on top, 52-51 with 18 seconds to go.
But Hubbard would extend it to a second overtime with a free throw in the final seconds, and the Mounts carried the momentum into the period, taking a 64-59 lead into the final minute
But Cocalico responded yet again. Denlinger drained a three with 50 seconds to go to cut the deficit to two. Then after Ephrata went back up by four with 37 seconds to go, Denlinger nailed another three-point bomb to cut it to one with 26 seconds left.
Ephrata's Aaron Huston converted a lay-up to put the Mounts back up by three with 14 seconds left, but Lescoe's off-balance three tied it with nine seconds to go to send it to the third extra period.
It was Cocalico that finally took control, and the Eagles did it from the line to put away their amazing win. After a Denlinger three made it a 76-73 Eagle lead, the Eagles went 9-for-10 from the line in the final two minutes to open the lead to five with three seconds to play. For good measure, Hubbard nailed an NBA three at the buzzer, but the Eagles prevailed in what had to be one of the greatest games in the history of this rivalry series.
Gosling led the way for the Eagles with a career-high 30-point effort. Denlinger chipped in with 24 (which included five three-pointers) and Lescoe added his 23.
Ephrata was led by Radcliffe and Hubbard, who poured in 28 and 27 points respectively. More BUBBLE, page B-6

The mild bunch: A gang of fifty-somethings rev up their Harleys and hit the West Coast
It was an idea that, let's face it, had little chance of ever getting off the centre stand.
Six blokes, all over 50, leaving their partners behind and embarking on an epic West Coast road trip on a fleet of Harley-Davidsons. Good pub talk, yes, but a very slim chance of becoming reality.
Thank goodness one of the gang, Johnny, had an efficient PA to do the donkey work – it would never have happened without poor Anita's incessant and insistent emails.
Sizzling vistas: Jon Sopel on his Harley-Davidson and the arid landscape of Death Valley, where the temperature reached 120 Fahrenheit
Now I was standing in the EagleRider depot in Las Vegas, crash helmet in hand, about to take possession of a black Electraglide classic. EagleRider might be all black leather and denim jackets, but it offers an astonishingly efficient service... think elite car rental service and add a bit more.
Efficient men with clipboards and tattoos take you over the bike before you leave – checking you know how to lock it, and also that you understand other important little things – like where the brakes and throttle are.
Luke, who took me over my machine, said it was surprising how many people straddle these beasts without really knowing what they are doing.
And then it was time to fire up my machine. Its engine made a fabulous noise: like an operatic basso profundo gurgling – a deep, rumbling throb.
Putting a car into gear is a silent experience; on this bike there was a mighty clunk. And then I was off. Within five minutes I was heading down the Las Vegas strip, with all its gaudy, technicolour landmarks.
With the warm desert wind in my face, the Bellagio fountains erupting, and the radio on the bike tuned to a classic rock station, I was grinning from ear to ear.
That night, we boys had a suitably unsuitable Vegas evening: a dodgy show (less said the better here...) followed by a visit to the tables at the Wynn, where we were staying.
The open road: Despite worries about how well the group would get along, Jon realised a motorbike tour involved a lot of solitary time, just drinking in the landscape
Whatever other career paths might open up for me, gambling won't be one of them. I bought $100 of chips, sat at the blackjack table (I clung to the memory that at school I was pretty hot at judging when to twist and when to stick), ordered up a cocktail from an exotic-looking hostess, and for that briefest moment thought I was George Clooney.
Then I lost five successive hands and all my chips were gone before the cocktail waitress had returned with my vodka martini. Ho hum. Bed.
Every group needs a leader, and we had Kim. He was either dubbed Kim Jong Il or our supreme leader. He planned the routes and took charge of the satnav. Each day he would present us with a choice: go the straightforward way to our destination or add on 'a very attractive little wiggle and loop'.
That invariably meant vertiginous hairpins with stomach-churning drops.
After Vegas we set off to Death Valley. It is the hottest, driest, lowest part of America. Our destination was the aptly named Furnace Creek. So hot is it that the rental company had a big notice in the office urging riders not to go there. Red rag to a bull, if you ask me.
I had driven through it in a car a few years earlier, but this was an entirely different experience. On a bike you get a real sense of the intensifying heat as you descend the parched, cratered landscape to the valley floor, as though you're slowly entering an oven.
Wild time: The men started their trip with a debauched night in Las Vegas
The temperature gauge was showing 120F. You can overdo man and machine in harmony with nature, but this is what it felt like.
Heading west out of Death Valley, the wind whisked over the desert floor and right across California Route 190. We were sand-blasted – none of us needed exfoliation after that.
After an hour of climbing on spectacular winding roads, we were out of Death Valley and the landscape and topography had changed dramatically.
There is a scene in the film Notting Hill where Hugh Grant walks through the market as the seasons change around him: falling leaves giving way to snow etc. The scenery changes driving across California are every bit as dramatic and sudden.
What was yellow and dun now turned green; scrub gave way to trees; the temperature became bearable. We were in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains – and beside the long, empty roads there was wilderness.
Like the modern-day cowboys that we fantasised we were, we got off our iron horses after a long day in the saddle and walked bow-legged into our inn at Lone Pine (even the names of these places sound as if they've come out of a Western), desperate for a shower and praying that a restaurant
would be within walking distance.
The next day we followed the Kern river, first through hilly terrain with cactus plants on road verges and tumbleweed blowing across our path, then through snaking mountain passes, complete with waterfalls, where the smell of wild herbs made it feel as if you had a bouquet garni strapped to your nose.
Golden finish: A ride across San Francisco's iconic bridge completed the road trip
After that we passed through lush meadows where cows and horses grazed, travelled on through higher arable land,and then took a long sweeping road down out of Sequoia National Park
to hit the Central Valley, the citrus fruit basket of America.
We went to see the giant redwoods that stand so tall you feel you are characters out of The Borrowers. And we saw bears. Not one but a number. The late thaw had brought them in foraging for food. Mercifully, they were not terribly interested in us as a meal.
All of this was just a curtain-raiser for Yosemite National Park. I could give you every adjective and superlative, but still somehow fail to do the place justice. Soaring, jagged rockfaces, eagles circling, bubbling, foaming rivers, dramatic waterfalls, placid, tranquil lakes, air whose pureness you could almost taste, big blue skies and mile after glorious mile of uninhabited emptiness.
We are used to talking about how big everything is in America. Well nature has been supersized
too in California. Take the Lake District, or the Highlands and multiply by a hundred.
Great outdoors: As well as coastal roads and city stops, the group also visited National Parks, including Yosemite
When you are sick of riding your bike, there's so much else to enjoy – the fabulous wineries of Napa
Valley and Sonoma, pretty towns, warm hospitality. Maybe people were nicer to us because, when the
Harleys roared up, the locals had a preconceived idea of who would be alighting – and it wasn't middle-aged, middle-class Brits.
I loved the day when we descended on a chichi country club to play golf. Can you imagine rolling
up at Wentworth or Sunningdale on a Harley? The personal dynamics of this group of men was something I worried about before we left, but it was not an issue.
If we had been in a camper van or an SUV, I suspect a murder would have been committed – but on motorbikes you are blissfully alone with your thoughts for hour after hour, with no phones, no email, no chatter – just you, the moving tableau, and the control of this powerful machine to focus upon.
Then when we were done for the day – great chat, a beer or two and collapse into bed.
Journey's end was San Francisco – a spectacular drive along Highway 1, hugging the Pacific, most of
the time above the clouds and the mist. Our final lunch stop was in Bolinas, a hippy town where the
good people of the Sixties and Seventies tuned in, turned on, dropped out – and never left.
The surf shop sold organic clothes, the 'people's general stores' was all mystical Eastern music and vegetarian this and that, and there was a clothes dump where people could help themselves to cast-offs.
From there it was a short drive across the Golden Gate Bridge into that most European and alluring of US cities.
So let's cut to the chase: was this a mid-life crisis trip? How could it be – I've come back home without
even a hint of a tattoo or a piercing. Maybe next time, though – because we are going to do it again.

Animal Nuisance Problem
Barking Dogs
Continuously barking dogs can be an annoyance for anyone living nearby. Animal Services Officers will investigate complaints of barking dogs during normal hours of operation. For all barking dog problems after our normal hours of operation, please contact the City of Fayetteville Police Department at 479-587-3555. During normal hours of operation please call the the Animal Services Division at 479-444-3456.
Encountering a Dangerous Animal
Residents who sight an animal they believe to be dangerous or vicious should not approach the animal and immediately contact the Animal Services Division at 479-444-3456 . If you encounter a dangerous or vicious animal during times outside our normal operating hours, contact the Police Department at 479-587-3555 and provide the location of the sighting so that the dispatcher can alert the on-call Animal Services Officer. Animals are not determined to be dangerous or vicious merely due to the breed.
Roaming Cats and Dogs
For dogs or cats roaming without an owner, please call the Animal Services Division at 479-444-3456. Dog and cat owners are required to keep their dog or cat under their immediate control any time the pet is taken off their property. In order for an Animal Control Officer to issue a citation, the Animal Control Officer must directly observe a violation. For violations that occur outside of an Officer's presence, the Animal Services Division may send a letter to the animal owner's residence, or send an Officer to speak with the resident.
Wildlife / Feral Cats
Fayetteville citizens who have nuisance wildlife that has made entry into the attic or crawlspace of their home can contact one of the local wildlife removal businesses to request a humane trap to be set. Citizens are allowed to purchase their own humane trap to capture nuisance wildlife. Animal Services Officers will only respond to calls of wild animals in privately owned traps once per year so if you set your own trap please be prepared to relocate the animal yourself. See below for regulations on setting your own trap. Please note that for stray cat concerns, only two cats per week will be accepted from any one location. For alternatives to trapping nuisance wildlife please visit the Arkansas Species and Habitats website to get more information on managing nuisance wildlife. You can also download our wildlife brochure which has some great ideas for managing wildlife issues and contact information for wildlife removal specialists.
Trapping Regulations:
1. Jaw traps, leg hold traps, snare traps or any other trap designed to kill or maim are strictly prohibited.
2. Traps should not be set in any area that would be considered a hazard for the animal such as drainage ditches, rooftops or unlevel surfaces where the trap would be in danger of falling.
3. Traps should not be set during periods of excessive heat or cold temperatures or during any type of inclement weather.
4. Any trapped animal must be released, unharmed outside the City limits within 24 hours of being trapped per Arkansas Game and Fish Regulation.
Stray Animals
If you found a stray animal, contact the Animal Services at 479-444-3456. Stray animals without license identification are impounded, and many impounded stray animals are placed for public adoption. Animals are not placed on the adoption floor until 5 days have passed. The City of Fayetteville Animal Shelter has a high rate of adoptions and continuously improves its adoption rate and home-return rate. Regular veterinary care is provided for shelter animals and those injured or sick animals picked up by enforcement officers.
Road Kill
If you notice a deceased animal (wildlife or domestic) on any street, sidewalk or other public space please contact us at 479-444-3456 so we can remove the animal.

A cluster of tiny islands about halfway between Finland and Sweden has sparked the interest of champagne connoisseurs the world over. Its not the Aaland islands themselves but the find made off their shores on July 6, 2010, that has corks a-popping in anticipation of a mystery solved.
Divers scouting a shipwreck discovered 30 bottles of champagne that appear to be perfectly preserved, thanks to the apparently excellent wine cellaring conditions at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. The find, made at a depth of about 180 feet (55 meters), is thought to be champagne from Veuve Clicquot, one of the worlds most highly respected vintners.
The sea has claimed the labels but other clues, including markings on the cork, are helping divers identify the ship as well as the champagne. Further studies are under way but the deepwater bubbly seems to have passed the taste test. According to a local Aaland wine expert, Ella Gruessner Cromwell-Morgan, the wine is absolutely fabulous and hasnt lost any of its delightful effervescence. Cromwell-Morgan joined Christian Ekstroem and a small group of lucky champagne lovers for a taste of the only bottle of the discovery brought to surface. Ekstroem led the dive team that discovered the champagne cache, most of which was left below in a secret location at the wreck site. For the moment, anyway.
The champagne is thought to be a gift from the king and queen of France, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, to Alexander III, Czar of Russia from 1881 to 1894. Court documents describe such a gift sent but never received.
If the champagne treasure is the missing royal Veuve Clicquot, the vintner's first bottle of champagne was produced in 1772 but remained cellared until 1782, so it couldnt have been shipped before that. The French Revolution interrupted any gift-giving plans Louis and Marie might have had beyond 1793. If the discovery proves to be King Louis XVIs gift to Alexander III, it could bring several million dollars at auction. Speculation remains that there may be more bottles than the 30 already discovered. More extensive study of the sunken sailing ship and its contents will be needed to determine the full extent of the discovery.
Champagne 230 years old is reason to celebrate, if you ask me. Since I cannot be part of the lucky group that tasted the ancient champagne in Finland, Ill have mine made from a much more recent vintage and Ill make it Southern style:
Southern Champagne Cocktail Recipe
Into a chilled flute glass, pour:
1 jigger Southern Comfort liquor
1 dash Angostura bitters
Top off with icy-cold champagne
Enjoy immediately!

Year in year out, month in month out, day in day out, each day is the same. Nothing has obviously changed from the past.
Time is the only thing in the world everyone has an equal amount of. No one gains more or less than anyone else.
Nevertheless, who is going to use every single second worthily and economically? This is what we should think.
If you wish to get anything on this planet, goodwill will help.
Diligence, Neatness, Intelligence, Circumspection, Honesty, Morality, Experience, Mindfulness, Thoughtfulness are the nine gems.
Any act, which has been done continuously, a small thing can lead to a big thing. A small merit can lead to a big merit after time. An irregular deed doesnt deserve merit.
Under the Sun, there is nothing as wasteful and regretful as the waste of time. Wasting one second is the same as wasting your life. At any age you have already lost those years. Seize the day!
Anxiety is the enemy of life. The past is a dream. The future is an uncertainty. Only in this moment, we can rectify everything. Nobody can make trouble for us, we make it ourselves.
A good deed can be done at anytime.
Carelessness misleads us from goodness.
Goodness gave us contentment in the past and fulfills a wish in the future.
Depravity gave us resentment in the past and gives disappointment in the future.
Be satisfied in your life without comparing it to others.
We regularly mention mindfulness and wisdom. Mindfulness and wisdom generally go together. Although we always use wisdom, we rarely use mindfulness. In fact, mindfulness is invaluable and necessary for our life. Your mindfulness should be greater than your expectation.

this is a light hearted piece with a heavy message- or so I hope. ______________________________________________________ I was sleeping Not really Really just speaking Yes, a mental riot seeking My mind was Apple Candy dandruff Keeping up its house keeping I was thinking What was spoken Is like a chucky cheese token Redeem for a lesser prize Currently broken My mind: cosmetic prosthetics It was apparently apathetic To natural aesthetics So severe lately -though obvious now It's Dubious at best And obnoxious how Unrealistic ideals gain nauseous appeal If not for this reveal Individuals would feel again Might maybe conceal their age with E vitamins Washed down with a Heineken Or two Not with credit or a knife Must I remind you my friend ? Invite them in, naturally Bury the hatchet and latch it for them Beauty is the eye of the older, saying "Distant dissonance echos most resilient in its hosts brilliance" Every now and then
This is another good pieve you've written. I can't believe nobody has given you any feedback. The pauses between are well spaced out which is a great unique style you have. This gives the reader a sense of intrigue. This particular piece was more cryptic than the one you wrote about the annoying person who poked you in the ribs, that time you lit a cigarette in a hall full of people. Cryptic although it was, i found it interesting in the sense that after a couple of reads i think i know whats going on but then on second thoughts, question it.
thanks for reading GF I don't think this has any comments because of the syllable shift/tone shift halfway...See, I start it off flowing one way then abruptly I change the feel. That is because this came from two different ideas. ha ha. anyhow, fuck it. it is what it is. This stanza: My mind... (that's the point of change)

: : : i am looking for parents who have taken their child to the University of Iowa, in Iowa City, in their biobehavioral unit headed under Dr. David Wacker Ph.D...: : My son has severe eating disoder, where when he eats he will spit out most of his food he trys to swallow. He is a binge eater, eating constantly for a couple of weeks and than the next few weeks you can hardly get him to swallow anything. All the medical work-up we have done here shows no medical reasoning for this. My son also has severe problem behaviors.: : Our autism psychologist at the UAP trained under Dr. Wacker at the University of Iowa and recommended that my son be admitted for 10 to 14 days. They are going to do a full medical work-up, and after results, will implement a behavioral program in eating and behavior control with medications. This is a very intense program. I am hoping to meet some other parents who have experience with this program and willing to share their experience with this.. Thank you MC
: COMMENT: This sounds like a wonderful opportunity, to have an sutism clinic do evaluation lab tests...but...if they're anything like our children's hospital, Riley in Indy, many of the tests will come back 'within normal perameters'. If they do, please come back, we'll give you some info on biological treatments. You might want to start with Autism Research Institute at www.autism.com/ari A site put up by Bernard Rimland who founded the Autism Societies of America. In the meantime, I sincerely hope and pray that you get some real (definitive) answers from this assessment. Grandma Peg
P.S. Of course the answers will be 'real', I should ave said real definitive answers.G.Peg

Random measure
In probability theory, a random measure is a measure-valued random element.[1][2] Let X be a complete separable metric space and the σ-algebra of its Borel sets. A Borel measure μ on X is boundedly finite if μ(A) < ∞ for every bounded Borel set A. Let be the space of all boundedly finite measures on . Let (Ω, ℱ, P) be a probability space, then a random measure maps from this probability space to the measurable space (, ).[3]A measure generally might be decomposed as:
Here is a diffuse measure without atoms, while is a purely atomic measure.
Random counting measure[edit]
A random measure of the form:
where is the Dirac measure, and are random variables, is called a point process[1][2] or random counting measure. This random measure describes the set of N particles, whose locations are given by the (generally vector valued) random variables . The diffuse component is null for a counting measure.
In the formal notation of above a random counting measure is a map from a probability space to the measurable space (, ) a measurable space. Here is the space of all boundedly finite integer-valued measures (called counting measures).
The definitions of expectation measure, Laplace functional, moment measures and stationarity for random measures follow those of point processes. Random measures are useful in the description and analysis of Monte Carlo methods, such as Monte Carlo numerical quadrature and particle filters.[4]

Today I received an email from a fellow educator of young children about apps that were available on Amazon for Android, I didn't look closely enough yet to see if they were actually optimized for phones, yet. There is almost nothing in the Android Apps store that seems appropriate. But...being new at this and a little afraid to order out of the market...does anyone have experience with apps on Amazon? Thanks
What types of apps are point for? There are many, such as word skills, math skills, puzzles. Even games help hand eye coordination. I have a Super Why app my toddler likes. He also has various puzzle apps that help with memory and patterns. Both kids love Blast Monkey which helps with geometry and angles. Sent from someplace, and with something that you need not worry about.
Apps I haven't seen those in the Android market place but I will look them up. Toddler and preK apps would be what we are looking for.
theres an app of the day on amazon. in fact i think its a children's learning app too. I download from there all the time, only difference is its tied to your amazon account not Google
This is what my 3yo is into. Angry birds Where's my water Can knockdown Flick golf My first puzzles Gravilux Doodlejump Superwhy Color & draw (by tipitap I think) Zebra paint I had a few more such as a math one and another word comprehension among others, but their popularity has waned. I had more puzzles. I'm sure I have some others on the ipod but never bought them on Android. Sent from someplace, and with something that you need not worry about.
someone reminded me of another app, Ant Smasher. Sound effects are eww or funny, depending on your point of view, but all of these help with fine motor skills, which at this age, is more important. We homeschool so we are bigger on anything that are manipulatives and reading. If you have an iPod, get TocaDoctor. even my 7yo loves it but there is no Android app for it.
Haven't tried to get any apps from Amazon coz I'm just a newbie with these gadgets. I bought it for my 4-yr old daughter and I installed Astroloquiz in my iPad. She loves it and learning new word that I haven't heard before from her. She really is smart and will become smarter if she'll continue using this educational app.:icon_ banana: Get yours here https://itunes.apple.com/app/astroloquiz/id577708973?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo=2

Enterovirus D68: What Parents Need to Know »
"Sept. 9, 2014 -- A fast-spreading virus related to hand-foot-and-mouth disease is hospitalizing kids across the Midwest and parts of the South and Northeast.
The virus, enterovirus D68, or EV-D68, was first discovered in 1962 in California."...
Read the Enterovirus D68: What Parents Need to Know article »
After an intravenous infusion (30 min.) of 3.1 grams of TIMENTIN, peak serum concentrations of both ticarcillin and clavulanic acid are attained immediately after completion of infusion. Ticarcillin serum levels are similar to those produced by the administration of equivalent amounts of ticarcillin alone with a mean peak serum level of 330 mcg/mL. The corresponding mean peak serum level for clavulanic acid is 8 mcg/mL. (See following table.)
TICARCILLIN SERUM LEVELS (mcg/mL)
Dose | 0 | 15 min. | 30 min. | 1 hr. | 1.5 hr. | 3.5 hr. | 5.5 hr. |
3.1 gram | 324 (293 to 388) | 223 (184 to 293) | 176 (135 to 235) | 131 (102 to 195) | 90 (65 to 119) | 27 (19 to 37) | 6 (5 to 7) |
CLAVULANIC ACID SERUM LEVELS (mcg/mL) | |||||||
Dose | 0 | 15 min. | 30 min. | 1 hr. | 1.5 hr. | 3.5 hr. | 5.5 hr. |
3.1 gram | 8.0 (5.3 to 10.3) | 4.6 (3.0 to 7.6) | 2.6 (1.8 to 3.4) | 1.8 (1.6 to 2.2) | 1.2 (0.8 to 1.6) | 0.3 (0.2 to 0.3) | 0 |
The mean area under the serum concentration curve was 485 mcg•hr/mL for ticarcillin and 8.2 mcg•hr/mL for clavulanic acid.
The mean serum half-lives of ticarcillin and clavulanic acid in healthy volunteers are 1.1 hours and 1.1 hours, respectively.
In pediatric patients receiving approximately 50 mg/kg of TIMENTIN (30:1 ratio ticarcillin to clavulanate), mean ticarcillin serum half-lives were 4.4 hours in neonates (n = 18) and 1.0 hour in infants and children (n = 41). The corresponding clavulanate serum half-lives averaged 1.9 hours in neonates (n = 14) and 0.9 hour in infants and children (n = 40). Area under the serum concentration time curves averaged 339 mcg•hr/mL in infants and children (n = 41), whereas the corresponding mean clavulanate area under the serum concentration time curves was approximately 7 mcg•hr/mL in the same population (n = 40).
Approximately 60% to 70% of ticarcillin and approximately 35% to 45% of clavulanic acid are excreted unchanged in urine during the first 6 hours after administration of a single dose of TIMENTIN to normal volunteers with normal renal function. Two hours after an intravenous injection of 3.1 grams of TIMENTIN, concentrations of ticarcillin in urine generally exceed 1,500 mcg/mL. The corresponding concentrations of clavulanic acid in urine generally exceed 40 mcg/mL. By 4 to 6 hours after injection, the urine concentrations of ticarcillin and clavulanic acid usually decline to approximately 190 mcg/mL and 2 mcg/mL, respectively. Neither component of TIMENTIN is highly protein bound; ticarcillin has been found to be approximately 45% bound to human serum protein and clavulanic acid approximately 25% bound.
Somewhat higher and more prolonged serum levels of ticarcillin can be achieved with the concurrent administration of probenecid; however, probenecid does not enhance the serum levels of clavulanic acid.
Ticarcillin can be detected in tissues and interstitial fluid following parenteral administration.
Penetration of ticarcillin into bile and pleural fluid has been demonstrated. The results of experiments involving the administration of clavulanic acid to animals suggest that this compound, like ticarcillin, is well distributed in body tissues.
An inverse relationship exists between the serum half-life of ticarcillin and creatinine clearance. The dosage of TIMENTIN need only be adjusted in cases of severe renal impairment. (See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.)
Ticarcillin may be removed from patients undergoing dialysis; the actual amount removed depends on the duration and type of dialysis.
Ticarcillin is a semisynthetic antibiotic with a broad spectrum of bactericidal activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.
Ticarcillin is, however, susceptible to degradation by β-lactamases, and therefore, the spectrum of activity does not normally include organisms which produce these enzymes.
Clavulanic acid is a β-lactam, structurally related to the penicillins, which possesses the ability to inactivate a wide range of β-lactamase enzymes commonly found in microorganisms resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins. In particular, it has good activity against the clinically important plasmid-mediated β-lactamases frequently responsible for transferred drug resistance.
The formulation of ticarcillin with clavulanic acid in TIMENTIN protects ticarcillin from degradation by β-lactamase enzymes and effectively extends the antibiotic spectrum of ticarcillin to include many bacteria normally resistant to ticarcillin and other β-lactam antibiotics. Thus, TIMENTIN possesses the distinctive properties of a broad-spectrum antibiotic and a β-lactamase inhibitor. Ticarcillin/clavulanic acid has been shown to be active against most strains of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections as described in the INDICATIONS AND USAGE section.
Gram-Positive Aerobes

‡These are non–β-lactamase–producing strains, and therefore, are susceptible to ticarcillin.
In vitro synergism between TIMENTIN and gentamicin, tobramycin, or amikacin against multiresistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been demonstrated.
Susceptibility Testing
Dilution Techniques: Quantitative methods are used to determine antimicrobial MICs. These MICs provide estimates of the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial compounds. The MICs should be determined using a standardized procedure. Standardized procedures are based on a dilution method1,3 (broth or agar) or equivalent with standardized inoculum concentrations and standardized concentrations of ticarcillin/clavulanate potassium powder.
The recommended dilution pattern utilizes a constant level of 2 mcg/mL clavulanic acid in all tubes with varying amounts of ticarcillin. MICs are expressed in terms of the ticarcillin concentration in the presence of clavulanic acid at a constant 2 mcg/mL. The MIC values should be interpreted according to the following criteria:
For Pseudomonas aeruginosa:
MIC (mcg/mL) | Interpretation |
≤ 64 | Susceptible (S) |
≥ 128 | Resistant (R) |
For Enterobacteriaceae:
MIC (mcg/mL) | Interpretation |
≤ 16 | Susceptible(S) |
32-64 | Intermediate(I) |
≥ 128 | Resistant(R) |
For Staphylococci†:
MIC (mcg/mL) | Interpretation |
≤ 8 | Susceptible(S) |
≥ 16 | Resistant(R) |
*Expressed as concentration of ticarcillin in the presence of clavulanic acid
at a constant 2 mcg/mL.
† Staphylococci that are susceptible to ticarcillin/clavulanic acid but
resistant to methicillin/oxacillin must be considered as resistant.
A report of "Susceptible" indicates that the pathogen is likely to be inhibited if the antimicrobial compound in the blood reaches the concentrations usually achievable. A report of "Intermediate" indicates that the result should be considered equivocal, and, if the microorganism is not fully susceptible to alternative, clinically feasible drugs, the test should be repeated. This category implies possible clinical applicability in body sites where the drug is physiologically concentrated or in situations where high dosage of drug can be used. This category also provides a buffer zone that prevents small uncontrolled technical factors from causing major discrepancies in interpretation. A report of "Resistant" indicates that the pathogen is not likely to be inhibited if the antimicrobial compound in the blood reaches the concentrations usually achievable; other therapy should be selected.
Standardized susceptibility test procedures require the use of laboratory control microorganisms to control the technical aspects of the laboratory procedures. Standard ticarcillin/clavulanate potassium powder should provide the following MIC values3:
Microorganism | MIC (mcg/mL)‡ | |
Escherichia coli | ATCC 25922 | 4-16 |
Escherichia coli | ATCC 35218 | 8-32 |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa | ATCC 27853 | 8-32 |
Staphylococcus aureus | ATCC 29213 | 0.5-2 |
‡Expressed as concentration of ticarcillin in the presence of clavulanic acid at a constant 2 mcg/mL. |
Diffusion Techniques: Quantitative methods that require measurement of zone diameters also provide reproducible estimates of the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial compounds. One such standardized procedure2,3 requires the use of standardized inoculum concentrations. This procedure uses paper disks impregnated with 85 mcg of ticarcillin/clavulanate potassium (75 mcg ticarcillin plus 10 mcg clavulanate potassium) to test the susceptibility of microorganisms to ticarcillin/clavulanic acid.
Reports from the laboratory providing results of the standard single-disk susceptibility test with an 85 mcg of ticarcillin/clavulanate potassium (75 mcg ticarcillin plus 10 mcg clavulanate potassium) disk should be interpreted according to the following criteria:
For Pseudomonas aeruginosa:
Zone Diameter (mm) | Interpretation |
≥ 15 | Susceptible(S) |
≤ 14 | Resistant(R) |
For Enterobacteriaceae:
Zone Diameter (mm) | Interpretation | |
≥ 20 | Susceptible(S) | |
15-19 | Intermediate(I) | |
≤ 14 | Resistant(R) |
For Staphylococci§:
Zone Diameter (mm) | Interpretation |
≥ 23 | Susceptible(S) |
≤ 22 | Resistant(R) |
§ Staphylococci that are resistant to methicillin/oxacillin must be considered as resistant to ticarcillin/clavulanic acid. |
Interpretation should be as stated above for results using dilution techniques. Interpretation involves correlation of the diameter obtained in the disk test with the MIC for ticarcillin/clavulanic acid.
As with standardized dilution techniques, diffusion methods require the use of laboratory control microorganisms that are used to control the technical aspects of the laboratory procedures. For the diffusion technique, the 85 mcg of ticarcillin/clavulanate potassium (75 mcg ticarcillin plus 10 mcg clavulanate potassium) disk should provide the following zone diameters in these laboratory test quality control strains:
Microorganism | Zone Diameter (mm) | |
Escherichia coli | ATCC 25922 | 24-30 |
Escherichia coli | ATCC 35218 | 21-25 |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa | ATCC 27853 | 20-28 |
Staphylococcus aureus | ATCC 25923 | 29-37 |
Anaerobic Techniques: For anaerobic bacteria, the susceptibility to ticarcillin/clavulanic acid can be determined by standardized test methods3,4. The MIC values obtained should be interpreted according to the following criteria:
MIC (mcg/mL) | Interpretation |
≤ 32 | Susceptible(S) |
64 | Intermediate(I) |
≥ 128 | Resistant(R) |
|| Expressed as concentration of ticarcillin in the presence of clavulanic acid at a constant 2 mcg/mL. |
Interpretation is identical to that stated above for results using dilution techniques.
As with other susceptibility techniques, the use of laboratory control microorganisms is required to control the technical aspects of the laboratory standardized procedures. Standardized ticarcillin/clavulanate potassium powder should provide the following MIC values:
Microorganism | Agar dilution MIC Range (mcg/mL)|| | Broth microdilution MIC Range (mcg/mL)|| | |
Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron | ATCC 29741 | 0.5-2 | 0.5-2 |
Eubacterium lentum | ATCC 43055 | 16-64 | 8-32 |
||Expressed as concentration of ticarcillin in the presence of clavulanic acid at a constant 2 mcg/mL. |
Clinical Studies
TIMENTIN has been studied in a total of 296 pediatric patients (excluding neonates and infants less than 3 months) in 6 controlled clinical trials. The majority of patients studied had intra-abdominal infections, and the primary comparator was clindamycin and gentamicin with or without ampicillin. At the end-of-therapy visit, comparable efficacy was reported in the trial arms using TIMENTIN and an appropriate comparator.
TIMENTIN was also evaluated in an additional 408 pediatric patients (excluding neonates and infants less than 3 months) in 3 uncontrolled US clinical trials. Patients were treated across a broad range of presenting diagnoses including: Infections in bone and joint, skin and skin structure, lower respiratory tract, urinary tract, as well as intra-abdominal and gynecologic infections. Patients received TIMENTIN either 300 mg/kg/day (based on the ticarcillin component) divided every 4 hours for severe infection or 200 mg/kg/day (based on the ticarcillin component) divided every 6 hours for mild to moderate infections. The efficacy rates were comparable to those obtained in the controlled trials.
The adverse event profile in these 704 pediatric patients treated with TIMENTIN was comparable to that seen in adult patients.

What do you do when your potty training child poops in their underwear? Some probably throw them away, but I bet most people toss the poop in the toilet and wash the underwear. What the HELL is the difference?!?!
Or vomit on clothes??? You rinse what you can off and then toss it in the washer.
I can't wait to buy more! The ultrasound tech found the gender today, but it's sealed in an envelope with my mom, who will be revealing it at my gender reveal party on Saturday. As soon as I know the gender, I'm going shopping for diapers!!!
Quoting LadyBugMom09:
I can't wait to get my cloth diapers! :) -

That sounds pretty wasteful. Sorry.
Quoting CreziaMommyTo2:
i have ALWAYS thrown away poopy clothes and clothes or items that were vomited on...
by Anonymous 1October 3, 2012 at 9:29 PMLiquidy runny poops from a 8 yr old 6-8 timesa day sucks the most. Lol I've done younger kids too.
Quoting PEEK05:
Poop sucks regardless lol.
Quoting Anonymous:
Dunno. I cloth diaper my 8 yr old. Those poops are loads of fun.
Thankfully my son is a toddler (same as when a baby) that just poops once a day around 9:00 a.m. Very regular. I know when to expect poop and when to not, so I never have to deal with a poopy diaper in public.
If I did, I'd dump it in the toilet, put it in a bag, and put it in the diaper bag to be washed later.
Quoting JLS2388:
To me, the difference is once in a while is one thing, having to do it all the time is another. Also, what happens when they poop out in public, I would NOT want to carry around a poopy diaper in my bad

Quoting rennez:
I lucked out and never had a poop accident while potty training the twins. That said...I'd certainly just dump and wash
Twins and no poop accidents? Amazing! I'm slightly jealous lol -
It's not that I don't understand, hell I know it would be cheaper and less wasteful, it's that I don't want to. I mean, I am lucky enough to be in a position that I don't have to if I don't want to.
If for whatever reason they were the only option available, well of course I wouldn't bitch about it, I'd just do it.
Also, in the old apartment it was in our lease that we could not wash cloth diapers or their accessories in the shared washers. By the time we bought our house, it didn't matter because DD took to potty training pretty easily (thankfully for us).

Imagine science and technology came to Middle-Earth, though magic continued to thrive. Now imagine that in place of hobbits, orcs, elves, and ents, you have steam-cyborgs, amphibious vodyanoi, insect-headed khepri, vegetable cactacae, ab-dead vampires, and a good many other races. In place of epic heroism, imagine people so morally murky that Sauron would walk away from the worst of them in disgust. Mix SF, fantasy, steampunk, and historical epic, people the result with psychologically complex (and complexed) characters, and have a gifted writer tell that world's tales. The world is Bas-Lag, created by China Miéville. He introduced it in Perdido Street Station and revisited it in The Scar, both extraordinary books by an extraordinary literary talent.
In July, 2004 he published his third and most political Bas-Lag novel, Iron Council.
Author: China Miéville Title: Iron Council First Published: July 2004 ISBN: 0-345-46402-8
Its headlamps were eyes now, predictably, bristling with thick wire lashes, its cowcatcher a jawful of protruding teeth. The hug tusks of wilderness animals were strapped and bolted to them. The front nub of its chimney wore a huge welded nose, the smokestack ajut from it in nonsense anatomy. Sharpened girders gave it horns. And behind that enormous unwieldy face the engine was crowded with trophies and totems. The skulls and chitin headcases of a menagerie glared dead ferocity from its flanks: toothy and agape, flat, eyeless, horned, lamprey-mouthed with cilia-teeth, bone-ridged, shockingly human, intricate. Where they had them the trophies' skins were tanned, drabbed by preservation, bones and teeth mazed with cracks and discoloured by smoke. The befaced engine wore dead like a raucous hunter god.(339)
Some time after the events of the first two novels, industrialists from the sprawling, corrupt city of New Crobuzon set out to build a transcontinental railway. A rebellion by workers and slaves creates the Iron Council and the Perpetual Train, a city built on and around the locomotives.
Years later, a war fought on dubious grounds fosters revolt within New Crobuzon itself. Beset by war, racism, rebellion, and a pernicious hex, the city faces its greatest crisis. Meanwhile, representatives of the socialist New Crobuzon Collective set out to find the legendary Iron Council.
Miéville handles fictional history and geography as though writing about a real place, albeit one where impossibilities abound. He has thought through the implications of the various fantastic elements as few other authors have. Ever wonder about how a modern war might be fought in a world where magic-- thaumaturgy-- exists? What an underground political meeting would look like in a city shared by various sentient species? The direction the Industrial Revolution might take in such a place? Miéville has given these things a lot of consideration.
Three central characters' stories unfold against the broader history. Judah Lowe learns and develops the art of golem-making, and applies it ways that go far beyond the familiar legend. He makes tiny golems of sticks to pull minor heists, but he also shapes forces of nature into robotic servants-- with troubling results. Cutter leads the search, during the time of revolution, to find the legendary Iron Council and enlist their aid. Ori, an opponent of New Crobuzon's corrupt regime finds himself drawn to its opponents, and finds his life strangely entwined with that of the mysterious rebel, Toro.
The book has its weaknesses. The opening pages prove more confusing than necessary, and they read like the well-written description of last weekend's role-playing game. Despite Miéville's excellent, oddball style and wild creations, this section became quite tedious: a dangerous thing in a novel's opening.
The first two novels, Perdido Street Station and The Scar reinforce each other, but they remain separate novels, and one can enjoy one without knowing the other. Iron Council, while not in any sense a sequel, frequently references events from the first novel in ways that require an understanding only a reading of Perdido Street Station would bring. Miéville, an author who excels in description, fails to provide any of certain key species and elements which he handled in the earlier books. These aspects may alienate some readers.
Miéville fleshes out a world we've visited in two previous novels, and therefore this novel seems less innovative than its predecessors. Other elements seem derivative. The Tardy, while given a well-considered origin, seemed a little too much like Tolkien's ents, not only in their nature but in the brief role they play. However, Miéville's imagination continues to produce wonders: a city built on a gigantic tortoise, fRemade humans, golem-traps, and centipedes the size of pythons.
He also remains one of fantasy's best-living prose stylists. While this book has nothing to equal the most powerful sections of the earlier novels, certain passages will remain with you for some time.
Iron Council, more so than the first two novels, has been influenced by Mieville's socialist politics. Now, one needn't share the author's views to enjoy the books, any more than one needs to be a Monarchist to take pleasure in Tolkien's. However, the need to make a political point can cause writers to misstep, particularly in the eyes of those who have different ideological inclinations. One of the few weak points in The Scar occurs near the ending, when a politically-charged event happens far too easily, seemingly because it suits Miéville's politics. In general, however, his politics inform his writing, and do not overwhelm it. We merely see how politics play out in his world, along with magic, science, and individual and group effort. He also subjects his ideology to the novel's anti-romantic tone. The revolutionaries are far from pure, and as prey as anyone else to dubious ethics, questionable motives, and other human failings.
The novel's open ending features a remarkable image, obviously intended to have symbolic resonance. Like the political elements, it works well in the context of the novel. However, the temptation may be present to read it allegorically. Doing so will stir some readers-- and diminish the impact for others.
Iron Council, in my opinion, does not live up to the lofty standards set up the first two novels. However, it remains better than most fantasy being sold. I would, however, recommend that you first read Perdido Street Station and The Scar. If you enjoy these, spend some time with the Council.

LAST MONTH'S QUESTION: Last month we asked you how often you received RBPMail.
The good news is that over 85% of you report receiving RBPMail monthly. The bad news is that about 10% may not be getting it regularly. We'll look into why this happens and try to reach the 100% mark. In the meantime, if you ever miss a month, feel free to request a copy by sending
WHY? We heard rumors the business was troubled. We've all heard stories about the difficulty the business will face as it matures. But it's nothing to kill yourself over. Literally or figuratively.
Me? I want to live to love another day. I want to smell and feel and savor all my favorite vices or put them aside for new ones. I want stare into shadows. I want to step barefooted on hot sand and make it across. I want to stick it out to see the last act. It's weird sometimes, and some might say a waste of madhouse time. But I'll take life with perhaps the naive notion that you have to travel the path to learn where it goes. And that means I must endure the pain of losing those close or those who traveled only a moment on the same path. But I'm going to live it.
I don't know WHY he did it, but I bottomed-out in sadness. Then I got mad an slapped this sloppy eulogy together.
What's it got to do with beer? Probably nothing really other than that he chose our industry for some of the time he was here. I wish he was still here. I feel badly for his family and wish them comfort and answers to the questions I'm sure they're asking.


text: Playing an extremely tough non-league and tournament schedule, check that again, by far the toughest non-league and tournament schedule of any team in the San Gabriel Valley did not reward La Verne Lutheran(18-4) in the Division 3AA playoffs, where they were seeded fourth, which means they will likely have to face No. 1 Price, whom they already faced, in the semifinals. CIF screwed this up, lets leave it at that. No. 3 La Canada (23-3) should NOT have been seeded ahead of Lutheran. Not only was the Rio Hondo League one of the worst in decades, La Canada's tournament schedule was one of the easiest around, staying in the SGV to compete in three area tournaments, where their biggest non-league win of the year is against Bonita, who they beat at home in their own tournament. The Spartans' other tough nonleague games were against Montebello, who they lost to twice. We see this time and time again, CIF not factoring in strength of schedule as much as they should, instead looking at wins and losses. I know CIF has a tough job, especially when you consider how many divisions they have to seed, but time and time again we learn that tough schedules aren't rewarded. My advice to Lutheran next year is to compete right here in the valley, whip everyone and get a high seed come playoff time.
