Crawley respond to Evans departure with Bees win
Substitute Scott Davies completed a second-half fightback for managerless Crawley who extended their unbeaten league run to 10 games with a 2-1 victory at lowly Barnet.
Rocked by the departure of manager Steve Evans to Rotherham hours before kick-off, the Red Devils almost took the lead in the opening minute but Dean Brill turned Billy Clarke's shot around a post.
It was the hosts who made the breakthrough after 15 minutes when Ricky Holmes reacted quickly to Izale McLeod's parried shot to convert from close range.
Holmes should have made it 2-0 10 minutes later after going through one-on-one but Michel Kuipers was equal to his shot. The Crawley goalkeeper again denied Holmes after a poor touch from John Dempster allowed him to get a powerful shot away.
However, Dempster headed home Davies' corner seven minutes after the break to equalise for Crawley before Davies sealed the game just after the hour mark.
The midfielder, on at half-time for Sanchez Watt, hit a stunning 30-yard strike and despite Sergio Torres' late dismissal for a reckless lunge on Clovis Kamdjo they held on for all three points.

Project Description
Hiking in Glacier National Park offers a challenge — the chance to explore a portion of the rugged Columbia Mountains.
First set aside as a federal reserve in 1886, the area around Rogers Pass was considered the key link in the newly constructed transcontinental railway which ushered in an era of easy access to the Columbia Mountains. A golden age of mountaineering followed and most of the trails in use today were constructed at that time.
The Columbia Mountains are steep and the valleys narrow, allowing for only a few easy hikes and a good number of challenging ones. You will often be sharply reminded that many of our trails were originally built as access to mountain climbs and glaciers! Most of the Illecillewaet-area day hikes involve an elevation gain of about 1,000 meters between the start of the trail and the "End of Trail" sign. However, the trails are well constructed and well-marked – and they will take you to stunning ridges and viewpoints that will make you forget your uphill toil. Adjust your pace and your mindset and you will be greatly rewarded!
The many glaciers and avalanche paths indicate winters of great snowfall. The climate is usually cool and wet, but summers can be hot and humid. Snowpacks linger in shaded areas along some of the trails. Exercise extreme caution in crossing snowpacks on steep slopes and consider carrying an ice axe, or avoiding the slope if it is icy.
Administered jointly with Mount Revelstoke National Park, these protected areas are managed in such a manner as to ensure the continuance of the splendour and richness of our natural and cultural heritage. These parks are home to a great diversity of wildlife including 54 species of mammals, 183 species of birds and 686 species of plants.
The trails described here range from short, level strolls to ambitious climbs. Some offer dramatic mountain views, while others wind through stands of ancient giant trees or probe the secrets of the abandoned railway over Rogers Pass. Whatever your interest and physical ability, hiking is the best way to get to know one of Canada's distinctive natural regions – the Columbia Mountains.

Game Data
Loyola University Maryland will play its final non-conference game of the 2012-2013 regular-season on Saturday, February 23, when it makes its second appearance this season in the State of Tennessee.
The Greyhounds will take on host Tennessee State University at 7 p.m. (Central)/8 p.m. (Eastern) in the Ramada Worldwide Bracketbuster event.
Follow The Action
Audio of the game will be broadcast live on LoyolaGreyhounds.com with alum Jim Chivers calling the action.
Series History
Loyola and Tennessee State have faced each other twice thanks to previous Bracketbuster pairings with the Greyhounds winning both meetings.
The teams squared off in the 2006 Bracketbuster series with the Greyhounds coming out on top, 62-60, in Nashville at the Gentry Center. Tennessee State visited Baltimore on November 16, 2008, for the return game of the original series, and Loyola squeezed out another close victory, 73-70.
In the first meeting, the Tigers took their only lead of the game with 31 seconds left when on a three-point play by Andrae Belton. Shane James beat his defender off the dribble and hit a fadeaway jumper from the baseline nine seconds later to push the Greyhounds up 61-60. Tennessee State missed a late basket, and Michael Tuck sealed the win by making 1-of-2 at the line after grabbing the rebound.
When Tennessee State visited Reitz Arena, then-junior Brett Harvey scored a career-high 34 points, including 12 of the Greyhounds' final 13 points, to carry Loyola to a win. He hit two free throws with four seconds remaining to ice the win. Harvey made six 3-pointers, and Brian Rudolph contributed six assists in the win.
Last Time Out
Dylon Cormier and Robert Olson combined for 44 points as four Greyhounds scored in double-figures during an 80-57 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference victory at Siena last Saturday.
The Greyhounds scored 28 points off 15 Siena turnovers, and Loyola shot 52.8-percent from the field and 53.3-percent from 3-point range against the Saints.
Cormier finished with 24 points, making 9-of-10 free throws while Olson had 20, going 4-of-6 from 3-point range.
Siena cut its 19-point first-half deficit to six, 37-31, on an O.D. Anoskie putback 1:36 into the second half, but after a Loyola timeout, the Greyhounds scored the next 15 points to lead 52-31 with just under 14 minutes on the clock. The Greyhounds extended their advantage to 29 points with 5:53 remaining on a Julius Brooks tip-in, two of his 10 points.
Return To The Volunteer State
Loyola played is second-ever game in Tennessee – the first being the 2006 game at Tennessee State – on December 30, 2012, at the University of Memphis, a game the Tigers won, 78-64.
Bracketbuster History
Loyola is participating in the Bracketbuster event for the eighth-straight year, and the Greyhounds have a 5-2 record in the previous seven games after defeating Boston University, 69-56, last season in Baltimore.
The Greyhounds have Bracketbuster wins over High Point (2006), Tennessee State (2007), UC-Davis (2008), Towson (2011) and BU and losses to Drexel (2009) and New Hampshire (2010).
Runs Lead The Way
Loyola used two considerable runs last Saturday to pull away from Siena. The Greyhounds went on a 22-5 run that spanned nearly eight minutes of first-half action, to extend a 13-11 lead to 33-14.
During that run, Siena committed four turnovers and missed three field goals and three free throws.
In the second half, Loyola executed a 15-0 run in a span of just over three minutes that took its lead from 37-31 to 52-31. Loyola forced three Siena turnovers, two on Greyhound steals, in that stretch, and all four of the Saints' shots misfired while two were blocked.
Cormier Named MAAC Player Of The Week
Dylon Cormier earned Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors on Monday after averaging 20.5 points and 4.0 steals in wins over Canisius and Siena.
The senior guard led all players with 24 points, going 9-of-10 from the free-throw line at Siena. He also tied his season-high with five steals.
After Marist (February 10) was just the second team (Rhode Island) to hold Cormier to fewer than 10 points in a game, he rebounded with a 17-point effort last Thursday night in a win over Canisius, a team that was tied with Loyola for second-place in the league at the time.
In 27 games played this year, Cormier is averaging 17.0 points per game, a mark that is currently fourth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. He has scored 15 or more points in 19 games.
Cormier went over the 1,000-point mark for his career on January 21 at Fairfield and enters the game versus Siena with 1,089 career points. This season, he has scored 458, already more than the 428 he tallied in 2011-2012.
He has consistently raised his game since his freshman season. Cormier averaged 8.1 as a freshman in 2010-2011, 13.4 last year and 17.0 this season. His rebounds per game have also risen from 3.0-3.3-4.5, as have his steals per game (0.8-1.6-2.0) and assists per game (1.1-1.8-2.4). He currently leads the MAAC in steals (54) and steals per game (2.0).
Olson Stretch Scoring
Robert Olson tallied six points in the first half, but he came out of halftime dialed in and connected for nine during the Greyhounds' 15-0 run in the early going. He scored seven in a row to start the run on a two, a three and a pair of free throws.
The senior guard finished with 20 points, the sixth time this season and the 10th time in his career that he's tallied 20 or more.
In the Greyhounds' two games last week, Olson was 13-of-24 from the field and 8-of-14 from 3-point range. He made four threes in both games, wins over Canisius at home and Siena on the road.
Two of his threes against Canisius came during the last 10 minutes of action as answers to rallies when the Golden Griffins had trimmed the Loyola lead to three and four points. His three field goals that were not from behind the arc all came from 18 feet or longer.
Olson's defense against Canisius was also key for Loyola in the win. He had a season-high five steals, one off his career-high.
Brooks Big In Starting Role
Julius Brooks made his first appearance in the Loyola starting lineup since November 28 on Thursday night against Canisius, and his play paid dividends for the Greyhounds. Brooks, who has now started seven games this season, scored 13 points and had a team-high six rebounds while blocking a shot.
The senior forward made all eight of his shots against the Golden Griffins, hitting five from the field and three from the free-throw line.
He followed that game with his second-straight double-figure scoring outing, the first time he has accomplished that in his tenure at Loyola. Brooks made 5-of-7 shots and finished with 10 points at Siena.
This season, Brooks is averaging 5.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 28 games played. In the Greyhounds' 18 victories, his numbers go slightly higher to 5.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.
Brooks has shot 62.9-percent from the field (61-of-97) this season, a career-best percentage.
Moving Up Career Charts
After the Siena game, Robert Olson in 22nd all-time at Loyola with 1,179 career points. With 30 more, he will crack the Top-20 in program history.
It was also the 120th game played of Olson's career, moving him into third-place in school history in that category. With four more appearances, Olson will tie Brian Rudolph for most all-time.
Elsewhere on the Loyola career charts, Olson is now second in 3-pointers made (194) behind only Sullivan's 281. He is also 23rd in field-goals made (398), third in 3-pointers attempted (502), tied for 16th in assists (221) and eighth in steals (116).
Flipping The Script
When Loyola played at Canisius just two weeks prior (January 31), it was a different story line as the Golden griffins won, 91-79.
In that game, Canisius made 13-of-19 (68.4-percent) from 3-point range and 29-of-48 (60.4-percent) from the field. The Golden Griffins also had a 36-25 advantage in rebounds.
On Thursday, Loyola held Canisius to 6-of-21 (28.6-percent) from 3-point range and 21-of-48 (43.8-percent) from the field. The Golden Griffins managed a slim 28-27 lead on the boards.
Entering the game, Canisius was second in the NCAA in 3-pointers made per game with 9.5.
Back-To-Back In The 20s For Etherly
Erik Etherly scored 22 on February 10 at Marist, marking the second time this season he has crossed the 20-point threshold in consecutive games. He also had a season-best 25 in a win over Siena.
Earlier this year, the graduate student scored 20 or more in three-straight from January 4-11, recording 21 against Rider, 24 versus Saint Peter's and 20 against Fairfield.
Etherly scored a season-high 25 points on Friday night against Siena and did so in an efficient fashion. He tied his career-high with nine field goals made in 14 attempts.
Etherly also made 7-of-11 from the free-throw line in the game, and he had three steals to contribute to the Greyhounds' 12.
All nine of Etherly's field goals came in the paint, six by layup or dunk.
Olson's First Double-Double
Robert Olson has been a solid rebounder throughout the season, but he posted a career-high on the boards on February 8 against Siena with 10, notching his first career double-double with 11 points.
Olson has recorded five or more rebounds in 14 of Loyola's 25 games this season and is averaging 4.6 per game.
The senior guard, who scored his 1,000th career point on January 6 against Saint Peter's has scored 10 or more 60 times during his career, but Friday was his first career double-double. He has tallied 10 or more 21 times this year.
Sticky Fingers
Loyola had a season-high 12 steals in the first meeting with Siena with six players having at least one. Dylon Cormier, who leads the Greyhounds with 1.9 per game this season, had a game-high four steals, while Erik Etherly had three and Robert Olson tallied one.
The Greyhounds' previous best was 11 steals on November 17 against Norfolk State.
Overtime Under Patsos
In Jimmy Patsos' eight-plus seasons at Loyola, the Greyhounds have played just 10 overtime games, but they have won nine of them. The only loss in nine overtime games came during 2009 against Coppin State.
This year's squad is 3-0 in extra time this year, winning at Rhode Island and Niagara at home versus Fairfield.
When 45 Minutes Isn't Enough
Last Saturday's double overtime win at Niagara was the first Loyola game in over 11 years that lasted more than 45 minutes. The last time the Greyhounds played double overtime or more was a triple-overtime defeat on January 10, 2002, at Siena. That season, Loyola also played a double overtime game on November 19, 2001, losing at Coppin State.
Three Overtimes In A Season
The last time Loyola played three or more overtime games in a season was 1990-1991, the program's season year in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. That year, the Greyhounds played extra time at Saint Peter's and Niagara (four overtimes, the longest game in program history) and at home versus Iona and Saint Peter's (three overtimes).
Six Over 10
Prior to the February 2 game at Niagara, Loyola had not placed five players in double figures all season. Against the Purple Eagles, six Greyhounds – Robert Olson (23), Dylon Cormier (15), Julius Brooks (14), Anthony Winbush (13), Erik Etherly and R.J. Williams (11 each) – scored 10 or more points.
The last time six Loyola players scored in double figures was on January 30, 2011, when the Greyhounds topped Iona, 88-85, in overtime at home.
Olson With 20+ Twice
Robert Olson enjoyed the cold, windy weather in Western New York during the Greyhounds' recent road trip, averaging 25.0 points in Loyola's games at Canisius and Niagara. The senior guard scored a career-high 27 at Canisius and had 23 versus the Purple Eagles, marking the first time in his collegiate career he has scored 20 or more in back-to-back games.
Olson, who now has nine 20-plus point efforts at Loyola, led the Greyhounds in rebounds (6), assists (5) and steals (4) at Canisius, and he then turned in five rebounds and two assists versus Niagara.
Against Niagara, he became the 28th player in school history to score 1,100 career points. With 1,120, he is the active career leader in point scored, and he needs 19 to move into 25th place all-time at Loyola.
Brooks' Big Shot
Julius Brooks made the game-winning layup with time expiring on February 2 at Niagara, giving him a career-high 14 points. He made a career-best six field goals in just seven attempts, and he also finished with eight rebounds.
He has set or tied his career-high in scoring three times this season, first setting a new standard with 12 against Mount St. Mary's on December 15 before tying that mark against Marist on January 17.
Brooks has logged four or more rebounds 14 times this season, and the Greyhounds are 12-2 in those contests.
Iona Game Picked For ESPN2
Loyola's game on March 1 at Iona has been picked as the MAAC Wild Card broadcast and will air live on ESPN2. Game time is still set for 7 p.m.
Hit On 70
With its win at Siena, the Greyhounds improved to 8-2 this season when scoring 70 or more points in a game. Their only losses when scoring that many or more came at home against Iona and at Canisius.
Over the last two seasons, Loyola is now 18-3 when it scores 70 or more. Its only loss of that kind in 2011-2012 was in an 83-79 defeat at Rider.
Record-Tying Defense
The 41 points Loyola yielded at Manhattan tied the Greyhounds' Division I record for fewest points allowed in a game. Loyola, which joined Division I in 1981-1982, allowed 41 points on two other occasions, a 43-41 win over Marist College on February 23, 1984, and a 58-41 victory at Dartmouth on November 24, 2009.
The 14 field goals by Manhattan were the fewest yielded by a Jimmy Patsos-coached Loyola team.
Opponents Under 50
The Manhattan game was the third time this season Loyola has held an opponent to fewer than 50 points. The Greyhounds did so in the November 9 season-opener against Binghamton (45) and on November 17 against Norfolk State (49).
Loyola twice held opponents to sub-50 performances last season: February 3, 2012, against Rider (46) and March 5 versus Fairfield (44) in the MAAC Championship Game.
Over the nine years Jimmy Patsos has been head coach at Loyola, the Greyhounds have held opponents under 50 points nine times, all Greyhound wins. The nine games have all come in the last four seasons.
Cormier, Etherly Score 1,000th Points
On Monday night at Fairfield, Erik Etherly and Dylon Cormier became the 33rd and 34th players in Loyola men's basketball history to reach 1,000 career points as Greyhounds, and they did so in the same game, a feat never before accomplished at Loyola.
Etherly scored his 1,000th on a layup just 15 seconds into the second half at Fairfield, and Cormier followed suit on a 3-pointer from the left corner 8:07 later.
1,000 Points In the Same Game
Prior to the Fairfield game, through unofficial research, the last time a school had two players reach 1,000 points in the same game was nearly five years ago when Fernandez Lockett and Todd Babington of Austin Peay hit the plateau on March 7, 2008
However, it took just 24 hours for it to happen again as North Carolina State's Richard Howell and Lorenzo Brown got to 1,000 in the Wolfpack's 86-84 loss at Wake Forest on Tuesday night.
And Olson Makes It Three
Erik Etherly and Dylon Cormier were not the first Loyola players to score 1,000 in a career this season. Robert Olson reached the mark on January 6 against Saint Peter's.
It is the first time in Loyola's 103 seasons of men's basketball that the program has had three players with 1,000 career points at the same time.
Three 1,000-Point Scorers In MAAC History
Since the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference was founded in 1980, this is just the sixth instance of a team touting three players with 1,000-plus points at the same time.
Iona (2000-2001, 2011-2012) and Siena (1999-2000, 2009-2010) have accomplished twice, while Loyola joins Niagara (2004-2005) with a one-time occurrence.
Holding Opponents Under 60
The Greyhounds limited Siena to 51 points, the 12th time this season they have held an opponent to 59 or fewer on the scoreboard. Loyola has won all 12 of those games. Including the 2011-2012 season, Loyola has held opponents to 59 or fewer 23 times, all victories.
Cormier Getting To The Line
Through 27 games played this season, Dylon Cormier has shot 192 free throws, an average of 7.1 per game. He has made 72.9-percent of those shots, a total of 140.
He has already surpassed his made free throw total from a year ago when he made 108-of-160. In his two-plus seasons at Loyola, Cormier has made 301-of-431 (69.8-percent) from the line.
Guards To The Boards
Dylon Cormier and Robert Olson, Loyola's starting guards, are third and fourth on the team in rebounding this season with Olson averaging 4.6 and Cormier, 4.5.
Olson has pulled down five or more boards 15 times this year, and Cormier has reached or exceeded that total 10 times.
Congratulations Graduate
Erik Etherly became the most recent Loyola men's basketball player to graduate, completing his undergraduate requirements in December for a bachelor of arts in communications with an emphasis in marketing and public relations. He joins Anthony Winbush – who graduated in May 2012 – as a graduate student on the Loyola roster this season. He will start his masters in education leadership this month.
Winning Combinations
Loyola is now 12-0 when it shoots 45-percent or better in a game, and the Greyhounds are now 14-0 when scoring 65 or more points this season. Loyola is also 13-0 when holding opponents to 59 points or less.
High Marks
The Loyola men's basketball team scored the highest amongst squads in the State of Maryland in the most recent NCAA Graduation Success Rate report. The Greyhounds checked in with a 91-percent GSR, tops among the state's nine Division I schools, for players who entered the school between 2002-2005.
Patsos Named Coach & Man Of The Year
Jimmy Patsos became the first Loyola coach to earn The Rock/Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honors by a vote of his peers in the league.
Patsos guided the Greyhounds to a school Division I high 24 wins and a program MAAC record 13 victories. He earned his 100th career coaching victory in November 2012 and led the Greyhounds to the No. 2 seed in the MAAC Championships.
Later in March, Patsos was named the Skip Prosser Man of the Year award for his work on and off the court, an honor presented by CollegeInsider.com.
Baltimore Bred And More From Nearby
Since taking over as head coach in 2004, Jimmy Patsos has put an emphasis on recruiting locally, and it has never shown as much as on this year's roster. Four players – junior guard Dylon Cormier (Cardinal Gibbons), junior forward Jordan Latham (City) and sophomore guard R.J. Williams and freshman forward Josh Forney (St. Frances) are products of schools within the city limits.
Six more players played in high school within 50 miles of Loyola, as the crow flies (thanks daftlogic.com): Jarred Jones, John Carroll, 20.5; Tyler Hubbard, Montrose Christian, 32.6 miles; Robert Olson, Georgetown Prep, 33.9; Anthony Winbush, T.C. Williams, 43.7; and Erik Etherly, Annandale, 47.9.
What's Next
Loyola returns to Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference action on Friday, March 1, for a 7 p.m. game at Iona College that will be televised nationally on ESPN2.

North American energy independence now possible
For the first time in my life and oil and gas career, I believe that the United States has the capability to accomplish three major energy-related objectives. The first is North American energy independence.
Technological advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have expanded America's petroleum resource base to the point where we now can meet our needs for at least a century. Add in Canada, Mexico and coal, and our energy resource base becomes perhaps four times larger than that of the entire Middle East.
All we have to do is use it. We have the ability, the technology and the commitment to do so while still protecting the environment.
North America's rich energy resource base provides time for us to achieve the second major objective: transitioning to sustainable fuels. This transition cannot be hastened by lavishing billions of federal stimulus dollars on technologies that are not yet ready for prime time.
We've seen the results of that approach as just about every federally subsidized solar energy firm has gone the way of Solyndra-bankrupt.
More research is needed, and research takes time. Distorting the marketplace with federal subsidies for electric cars that catch fire or don't run does not inspire confidence in that technology. But develop an electric car that is affordable and meets public needs and the buyers will come.
Likewise, distorting free markets by artificially raising the cost of fossil fuels to make higher-priced alternative technologies more competitive only creates inflation, impedes job growth and harms our economy.
The third achievable objective is the development and utilization of North America's resource base cognizant of and committed to environmental standards.
But those standards need to be real. They must be grounded in science rather than political calculation and hyperbole. Here again, the debate over fracking-a technology that has made North American energy independence possible-is illustrative.
Fracking involves pumping fluid containing sand or other granular material underground at high pressure to form cracks (fractures) in a gas- or oil-bearing formation. The fluid is then extracted, leaving the sand behind to prop open cracks so that the oil or gas may flow more freely.
The technique was first employed in 1947, but modern fracking in conjunction with lateral drilling dates to the 1990s in the Barnett Shale of North Texas.
In all that time-65 years-there has never been a significant environmental incident attributable to fracking.
What is really needed is a national consensus for achieving energy independence within a decade.
To get there, the American people must understand the benefits such a collaboration would bring:
- Massive job growth (witness the Bakken oil shale play in North Dakota);
- Lower energy prices (which also would reduce the cost of food, gasoline and consumer goods);
- A stronger economy and the wherewithal to promote a cleaner environment;
- Improved national security; and
- Time to develop low-cost sustainable energy solutions.

Are You Praying?
I have seen this photograph many times, but I just heard the story behind it today. Kevin Carter won the Pulitzer Prize for this photograph in 1994. This child was crawling to an aid camp in Sudan. He was less than 1km away. No one knows what happened to this child, as the photographer left immediately after taking the photograph. 3 months later, the photographer committed suicide because of depression. For me this begs the question: How many times have I turned away from someone in need? The answer is- all too often. We can all say, "I would never walk away from that starving child." But we do it everyday- by ignoring what is happening in our world.
The need is great, around the world and in our own communities. Are you praying that God will show you how you can help? Are you answering His call?

The kitten I came upon was vivacious and energetic as well as happy and loving. I fed her cow's milk and as expected she got diarrhea. I needed something, though. I knew I had to get a formula, so I went to Wal-Mart and bought Hartz's formula. I didn't know any better. Over time the time span of four days, my kitten started having disturbing symptoms. I did not connect them to the formula until it was too late. The first night she threw up, which I just attributed to tummy upset. The next few days I started noticing that when I would feed her, a half hour or so later she would start acting odd. Day two, after a feeding she just went in a corner and started meowing loudly. She also would stare off into space and circle around in her litter box and just fade off. When she would re-animate, she started acting very restless as if she was looking for something. She started just hiding behind things, as if she was sick. She didn't do that when "normal". The third day, I had to take her to the vet because I thought something else was wrong. On this day, she was doing the trance thing and was very restless alternating with near paralyzation over and over. I noticed she also had bad gas. The vet put her in an incubator with oxygen and gave her fluids. She somehow miraculously popped out of it after a few hours (digestion time, hmm?). The next day, the symptoms returned after feeding. I put her in a box with blankets because she kept doing the weird trance thing and was obviously distressed. She just stood in the corner with her head against the walls, like she couldn't move. Her tail was twitching oddly and near the end before she lost consciousness, she was mewing loudly. She never did this before. Obviously, this time her reaction was so severe that I had to put her to sleep. My last memory of her, besides standing in a corner unresponsive, was of her lying in an incubator, totally dead to the world. Thanks for killing my kitten, Hartz. Please, everyone, do NOT give your kitten this poison. Get KMR.

9 month old baby…
My cat was born in my room, she was the first one to come into the world out of 5. She's been perfectly healthy since day one. The other night I noticed fleas on her, so we picked up Hartz Flea and Tick from the local WalMart. The next morning I woke up and went looking for her as I do every morning, and found her lethargically laying in her litterbox. I ran over and scooped her up, noticing her back end was unresponsive and almost paralytic. I immediately went to the sink, and washed her down with Dawn soap and warm water, then dried her off. It's been 3 hours and she is still sleepy and her pupils are huge. I'll be taking a trip to the emergency vet later if there is no improvement. I am sick to think that all of these poor animals have suffered and nothing has been done about it. 🙁

12-May-2019 Filed under hip liposuction before and after Article № 83"squeezing them forces the liposuction before and after female bacteria even deeper and causes trauma to the skin."
This type of pimple occurs very deep in the skin, forming a red, tender nodule that's not only painful but much harder to treat with OTC meds. "the inflammation that accompanies cystic acne can hinder the healing process and often lead to permanent scarring that's impossible to eliminate," says engelman.
Picking at them lipodystrophy diabetes won't help, either. "the cysts occur so far beneath the skin that you won't even come close to reaching the bump and you'll be left with a bloody spot that's impossible to cover up with makeup," says schlessinger.
Instead, book an appointment with your dermatologist who can properly treat the situation (usually in the form of a cortisone shot laser liposuction westchester bellava spa to instantly kill the swelling) and may even be able to save you from scarring altogether. Whiteheads
These are the easiest (and often, most satisfying) to squeeze, clean up, and move on with your day. But if you really want to limit their stay, avoid giving them any attention. "whiteheads keep acne bacteria contained to one area while the blemish heals, so when it is squeezed, it releases the contents of the blemish-often a mix of acne bacteria, oil, and skin cells" says schlessinger. Grosssssss.
If that's not enough incentive to let whiteheads be whiteheads, consider the chin liposuction before and after fact that a tiny pop can result in spreading that bacteria throughout your face-or deeper into your skin. So leave these guys alone, says schlessinger, or try a spot treatment if you're truly desperate for them to go away. Pimple popper "pops" lipomas for her clients on the reg, you should not do this yourself at home. You'll just break open your skin and liposuction recovery time make it red and angry-and potentially introduce bacteria into the area to make your problems even worse. Instead, your best option is to have a dermatologist remove it.8 Bumps on your skin that lipoma removal cpt code you should never try to pop
When you check your makeup in the mirror, only to spot a giant you-have-no-idea-what lump staring back at you, it's absolutely tempting to go HAM on your face. But experts agree that when it comes to most skin bumps and blemishes, a hands-off approach is most definitely lipolean injections reviews best.
"popping anything causes your skin to physically break apart, making it more susceptible to infection and an even bigger problem than what was originally there in the first place," says dendy engelman, M.D., board-certified dermatologist at manhattan dermatology and cosmetic surgery in new york city.
Frustrating liposarcoma symptoms? Worth picking-even if you just shaved your bikini line? Absolutely not. "ingrown hairs occur when the hair shaft becomes trapped beneath the skin's surface," says joel schlessinger, M.D., board-certified dermatologist and realself advisor.
"the red bumps that follow are often itchy and inflamed, but it's never a good idea to use tweezers or manual force to pluck them," says schlessinger. Squeezing them will only make inflammation and irritation worse, he adds. (hello, red marks that last for months.)
Unless you're looking to inspire a whole army of these bad boys, don't even think about touching them-no matter how much that cold sore looks like a pimple. " vaser lipo recovery;picking at cold sores could very easily lead to the formation of another sore how does liposuction work, and popping them releases a blister-like fluid that contains the same virus and can easily spread to other areas," says schlessinger.
Small sores can heal on their own with the help of OTC treatments. But if you notice cold sores popping up more frequently (or spreading to larger areas), schlessinger says you should see a doctor for professional help. Included-until the cold sore lipozene reviews mayo clinic has died down to avoid spreading it even further.
Milia is actually not dirt, oil, or grime-it's a tiny, harmless cyst, says schlessinger. "picking at them often has little to no effect and attempting to pop them will likely leave your skin red, irritated, and inflamed, with the milia still intact," says schlessinger.
"if it's bothering you, schedule an appointment with your dermatologist, who will likely extract it with a heated, sterilized tool," says engelman. You can also use a retinoid cream to help smooth them out faster, although milia generally clear up on their own.
Instead of getting your hands dirty, use a chemical exfoliant that has salicylic acid or glycolic acid to calm the liposuction recovery tips inflammation down and gradually smooth out the bumps over time. "if that doesn't work, see a dermatologist or an esthetician, who can properly treat you," recommends engelman. Treatment options include the topical medication tretinoin (a.K.A. Retin-A) to exfoliate the area and a pulsed dye laser to treat redness. Blackheads
"blackheads consist of the same thing as whiteheads-pores that become clogged with oil-except the oil has oxidized after being exposed to the air, giving it a black or brownish hue," says schlessinger.

Following the dream
Hairston inspired son to play baseball
By Ken Mandel/MLB.com
Jerry Hairston Sr.'s career record
Hairston name dates back to Negro Leagues
Jerry Hairston Sr., a quality bench player for the White Sox in the 1970s and '80s, never saw his father, Sam, play in the Negro Leagues.
In the summer of 1958, six-year-old Jerry Hairston Sr. traveled to parks in the South to watch his father play baseball. While specifics are fuzzy, he recalls hearing his father's name over the loudspeaker.
Sitting in a segregated section of the left-field bleachers, Jerry and his two older brothers, John and Sam Jr., had the thrill of seeing their dad play baseball tainted by the inequality of the time.
"We had to sit down the left-field line in a cage," said Jerry of seeing his dad play in South Carolina. "It was a part of the bleachers that was screened off, including overhead. I remember it being closed in. That was one reason my mom (Jessie) never liked to go much."
The degrading experience in South Carolina didn't stop the three brothers from following in their dad's footsteps. Sam Jr. played in the White Sox's farm system, John had a brief stint with the Cubs in 1969, while Jerry spent 14 years in the big leagues, mostly spent with the White Sox.

The motives
Branch Rickey had several reasons for signing Jackie Robinson to a pro contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Historian Steve Goldman has the details.
Segregated Baseball: A Kaleidoscopic review
While the very existence of the Negro Leagues was necessary because of the racial divides in the United States, black baseball not only survived -- it excelled.
Traveling show
Barnstorming was common place in the Negro Leagues.
"(Seeing me play) had to mean more for (Sam) than actually playing, because when he played it was like spinning his wheels; all he was doing was feeding his family," said Jerry. "Where we grew up (in Alabama) we always had a nice car, we got a nice house and he put my two brothers (and his younger brother) through college. I don't know how he did it, but he did."
Sam Sr. played 16 years, beginning in 1944 with the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues and ending in 1960 with Colorado Springs, a minor league affiliate with the White Sox. He spent nine years in the White Sox organization, with all but five at-bats in 1951 coming in the minors. He arrived in Chicago two months after Cuban star Minnie Minoso became the first non-Caucasian White Sox player.
"That was something he and all of us were proud of," Jerry said. "In those days, it was really tough. My dad's first appearance was a pinch-hitter. He was called out of the bullpen in center field and he ran all the way in. By the time he got to the dugout someone said, 'Hey, you're the next hitter' and then the ball's put in play and now he's got to get ready. He picks up a bat and runs up there, but before he can get there, a teammate (Jerry refused to mention who it was) snatched the bat out of his hands. He didn't want a black man using his bat."
Sam then used Minoso's bat to double in a run. Not a bad way for the White Sox's first African-American to break in.
During Sam's baseball career in the Negro and Major Leagues, he played with baseball's biggest names -- including Willie Mays and Nellie Fox. Sam enjoyed telling stories to his children, most involving other Negro League players, such as Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe and Satchel Paige.
One story described the antics of Indianapolis Clowns' teammate Reece "Goose" Tatum, later a well-known member of the Harlem Globetrotters.
"(Tatum) would put an iron plate in his glove," said Senior. "If somebody was on the wrong side of Goose -- they used to spike each other and do all kinds of stuff in that league -- he'd tell the pitcher to throw to first base and smack the guy upside the head with an iron plate in the first baseman's glove."
His father's stories had a major impact on Jerry, and became more special when he met Radcliffe, whom he had been hearing about his whole life.
"I was leaving the ballpark one night as a rookie and I hear, 'Hey Hairston.' and I'm looking around and there's this guy sitting on the curb," Jerry said. "He said, 'I know your daddy. I'm Double Duty.' I was so excited. I've been hearing that name since I was old enough to know this guy was a ballplayer. Double Duty used to come to the games all the time. At that point, I never knew any Negro League ballplayers except for my dad.
"I sat there for what must have been 30-40 minutes, listening to stories. And the stories I heard from my dad were coming full circle. He was filling in pieces."
Jerry had heard the story of how Radcliffe helped his father find his calling as catcher and continue his career. Radcliffe, who earned his nickname by routinely pitching the first game of a doubleheader and catching the second, perhaps saved Sam's job by asking him to catch.
Said Jerry, "Double Duty said 'Hey, Sam, can you catch? My dad said 'Yeah.' He never caught before. So Double Duty said, 'Well I'm sick (and) I ain't playing today. You catch.' My dad went back there and caught like a one-hitter or something. From that point on, he was the second catcher, filling in here and there, and was able to survive."
Sam survived on $300 a month -- a decent living for a baseball player. After he retired, Sam became a scout for the White Sox, signing Jerry in the 1960s. By the time Sam died on Oct. 31, 1997, Jerry had been retired for eight years, and his grandson, Jerry Hairston Jr., had been drafted by the Baltimore Orioles. A few years later, Jerry Jr.'s brother, Scott, signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
According to Jerry Jr., every male Hairston has played professional baseball, including his cousins -- John's sons. All share their grandfather's love of the game.
"Always work hard, never think you know it all and come out with a purpose to learn," said Jerry Sr. "As long as you can hit, they'll find a place for you. I wasn't the quickest guy and I wasn't the best with the glove, but I said 'I'm gonna be the best I can.'"

Schumacher the world's second richest sportsman
Michael Schumacher has been named as the world's second richest sportsman, with a fortune of $823 million. Interestingly, former teammate Eddie Irvine has made $129 million from property. Others on the list include: Alonso and Raikkonen ($161 mil), Hamilton ($89 mil), Button ($85 mil), Mansell ($80 mil), Stewart ($67 mil). All these are however dwarfed by F1 supremo Ecclestone who comes in at $4 billion.

Read it and weep peasants, $823 million and counting, that's enough to almost make my own eyes water.

This is so unfair, I'm a nice guy who can't get enough sponsorship for one F1 season and you're rich on the back of all your cheating Michael, I hope you can buy a lot of 'raw eggs' with all your money.
mschumi Michael Schumacher
Ah yes, a dig at my Pirelli analogy. Remember when I got Bridgestone to make those Schumacher tyres back in the early 2000's Rubens? Pirelli won't be long buckling to my demands.
rubens Rubens Barrichello
You don't have that kind of power anymore Michael, people can see through your evil schemes.

With nearly a billion in the bank anything is possible shit-for-brains. Actually I'm thinking of buying a private island so I can have you imprisoned there indefinitely.

Speaking of buying property, Fast Eddie always had an eye for a nice piece of real estate when he saw it. You worked hard for your money Michael, I just sat back with the chics in my helicopter and let the houses do it for me.

Congrats on making millions on the back of nothing Eddie, sums you up nicely. I seem to recall anything with a silicone exterior and nothing complex upstairs was enough to grab you.
NigelErnestJamesMansellOBE Nigel Mansell
While flattered to be on this list I would like to put it on record if I may that it has been a long road for me to get to this position of affluence, a long road that has had many twists and turns, but as the saying goes it is the long road that has no turning. An interesting point to make here is that while Eddie may brag about earning millions for his property investments, I was placed in the unenviable position early in my career of actually having to remortgage my own family property to fund my driving career. Therefore when I translated my talent into sucess on and off the track I vowed never to be in such a position again, making sound investments to ensure I had enough for my retirement. This was somewhat complicated by my multiple retirements in my career, even prompting my pension broker to insitigate a "Mansell" clause to cover this scenario for his other clients.

Here's Johnny. You spoilt over-paid penny-pinching prats. In my day drivers were lucky to get fed never mind paid. We survived on petrol fumes, booze and birds, and a blond bastard called Johnny Herbert was king of the castle.

I knew you'd have a mature take on it Hamilton, those celebrities are definitely friends for life. Remember, don't get carried away spending all your money on those diamond man-earrings.
jackie Jackie Stewart
It is vital to have a mature attitude to money Fernando, indeed it is my opinion that financial prudence is a critical asset in the armoury of any individual. In order to achieve optimum success as a driver one must obtain a healthy balance, not just in terms of car behaviour, but also in one's financial affairs. It is with pride that I consider I was able to translate my skill set as a driver into a keen business acumen with the concomitant financial rewards.

Every week, a DIY expert spares us a trip to the grocery store and shows us how to make small batches of great foods at home.
In this edition of Small Batch, Marisa McClellan of Food In Jars shows us how to preserve the last of summer's tomatoes with tomato conserva. Marisa is the author of Food in Jars: Preserving in Small Batches Year Round.
Each year, when late summer rolls around, I throw a little one-woman tomato festival. I buy 100 pounds of tomatoes from one of my local farmers and spend a long weekend engaging in the act of putting up. The first 50 pounds are earmarked for canning whole. I typically get around 25 quarts of whole peeled tomatoes, which means that if I play my cards right, I'm set for soups, stews and sauces for an entire year.The rest get turned into more specialty products. Tomato jam, a product that has entirely replaced ketchup in my household, takes five pounds. Ten pounds are halved and slow roasted for twelve hours, becoming this urban dweller's version of sun-dried tomatoes. I marinate and dehydrate (ten pounds), make a few jars of pizza sauce (six pounds) and stir together two different kinds of salsa (18 pounds between the two).Finally, when the kitchen is streaked red from one end to the other and I can't bear to ever look at another tomato, I pull myself together, collect all the remaining tomatoes and make a batch of tomato conserva. It is essentially glorified tomato paste, but once you taste it, you'll understand that it deserves every ounce of that glory.I will warn you that in concept, it doesn't actually sound like a good investment of time or resources. You chop and simmer the tomatoes until tender. They you work them through a food mill, sieve or chinois and spread the runny pulp out on rimmed cookie sheets. It cooks for hours in the oven, has to be stirred regularly and the yield is always ridiculously small. And yet, it's not until the moment when the process is done and I have a few small jars of dense, intensely flavored tomato concentrate tucked into the freezer, that I can exhale and let the autumn come.
Having a several half pints of tomato conserva in the freezer is my way of holding onto the intense sunshine of summer and, when layered in a toasted cheese sandwich, it wards off my January blues better than any workout or Vitamin D pill can.
When making tomato conserva, the variety of tomato you choose can greatly impact the finished yield. I made it this year with heirloom tomatoes, because some farmer friends sold me massive amounts of split (but still very good) heirlooms for cheap. However, because they're such watery tomatoes, ten pounds of tomatoes yielded just one and a quarter pints. If you choose to start with a meatier tomato, like a roma, plum or paste, you'll end up with more. My best advice is to choose tomatoes that taste good to you, because this product intensely concentrates the tomato flavor.Tomato conservaMakes about 2 1/2 cups
10 pounds tomatoes1/4 cup olive oil (plus more for topping)2 teaspoons sea salt
Chop tomatoes into quarters. Combine them in a large pan with 1/4 cup olive oil and bring to a simmer. Cook until they are soft and the peels begin to detach from the tomato flesh.
Push warm tomatoes through a food mill, sieve or chinois, so that you separate the tomato pulp from the seeds and skins.
Divide the tomato pulp between two large, rimmed baking sheets (I used two half sheet pans).
Place baking sheets in the oven and bake at 350° F. Check tomatoes every half hour, stirring the paste and switching the position of the baking sheets so that they reduce evenly.
Over time, the conserva will start to reduce to the point where it doesn't fill the baking sheet any more. At this point, I combine the contents of the two pans into and continue to bake.When the conserva is shiny, brick-colored and has reduced by more than half, it is done. There shouldn't be any remaining water or moisture separating from the paste at this point.
Scrape finished conserva into clean half or quarter pint jars. Top with a layer of olive oil and place in either the refrigerator or the freezer. As long as you keep it well-covered with olive oil and ensure that you only use a very clean spoon to remove it from the jar, it will keep in the fridge for a month or so. Frozen, it will keep for up to nine months.
Save and print the recipe here.
Marisa will be answering questions about tomato conserva on the Hotline for those of you who want to take on this project at home. For the quickest response, go to her recipe and ask a question from there -- we'll email her your question right away!

Gifts for gardeners: Membership
Before the plants dragged me away from my formerly content life, I thought of gardening as a solitary occupation. It's really anything but. Gardeners are as social as any other large group of people, varying along the same spectrum of introversion and extroversion. But as Panayoti Kelaidis, senior curator at the Denver Botanic Gardens puts it, "I've never met a MEAN gardener." Opinionated, yes, territorial, yes, curmudgeonly, chaotic (guilty), obsessed (guilty times two) and idiotically optimistic (guilty to the umpteenth power), but mean? Nope. All the gardeners I've met have been positive, helpful, kind, generous, and laugh-until-your-lungs-hurt funny. After all, we play in the dirt.
That's why one of the best gifts for gardeners is the chance to collude with more of their own kind, to get inspired, informed, awed and amused. Members of the Denver Botanic Gardens are admitted to the Gardens (and the Gardens at Chatfield free and get discounted tickets to events, 10 percent off at the gift store and plant sales and members-only shopping hours. Between all of the discounts and guest tickets, an individual membership more than pays for itself if you visit four times per year, just you yourself. Check out all that's available at botanicgardens.org
If Denver's not your turf, check out the Hudson Gardens in Littleton, or The Gardens on Spring Creek in Fort Collins; The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens in Vail.

That wasn't Tennesse, that was an abstract representation of it. Otherwise, you'd see the other states next to it.
Subsequently, Neko, did you ever notice that your black-and-white style is similar to McDuffies'? O.o;;
I imitated his style so I could have Grumpy look more accurate. When you do satire, it's best to imitate style.

Common Test is a portable application for automated testing. It is suitable for black-box testing of target systems of any type (i.e. not necessarily implemented in Erlang), as well as for white-box testing of Erlang/OTP programs. Black-box testing is performed via standard O&M interfaces (such as SNMP, HTTP, Corba, Telnet, etc) and, if required, via user specific interfaces (often called test ports). White-box testing of Erlang/OTP programs is easily accomplished by calling the target API functions directly from the test case functions. Common Test also integrates usage of the OTP cover tool for code coverage analysis of Erlang/OTP programs.
Common Test executes test suite programs automatically, without operator interaction. Test progress and results is printed to logs on HTML format, easily browsed with a standard web browser. Common Test also sends notifications about progress and results via an OTP event manager to event handlers plugged in to the system. This way users can integrate their own programs for e.g. logging, database storing or supervision with Common Test.
Common Test provides libraries that contain useful support functions to fill various testing needs and requirements. There is for example support for flexible test declarations by means of so called test specifications. There is also support for central configuration and control of multiple independent test sessions (towards different target systems) running in parallel.
Common Test is implemented as a framework based on the OTP Test Server application.

And more importantly, he didn't have those anxious urges to do something. In fact, he didn't want to do anything. And so, beyond what the facility asked him to do, he relaxed into doing as close to nothing as possible. I don't have to do anything. I don't need to do anything. My life has probably lost most of its meaning now...
There was knock on his door. A quick but not exactly loud rap. Nick almost let out a groan. He had only just woken up and had decided on a nice long - day-long, in fact - lie-in. But even he realised he was being a bit ridiculous. He would just open the door, make the exchange as brief as possible, and then head back to lying down ASAP.
Nick swept aside the bedsheet and swung his legs over. He stretched a leg out so it cracked, and then walked over to the door, which had been silent right after the series of knocks.
"Oh, Nick," said Tessa. She looked almost surprised to see him. Why was that? He wouldn't be rude enough to not answer the door. However, this was a first. Her coming to him like this. Perhaps she assumed - perhaps not unreasonably - that he'd still be asleep.
Nick raised his eyebrows regardless. Why knock on his door anyway?
"Hello?" he said.
She just looked at him for a moment. A searching and familiar look. One that made him wonder if he had said something stupid, or had a scruffy collar or something on his face. To his immediate annoyance, he looked away abashed.
But in the corner of his eye, he noticed that she had looked away too. Looked downwards, in fact.
"I wanted to talk with you."
They looked back to each other. "About what?"
She bit her lip. Looked up and down the hallway. "Can I come in?"
This gave him some pause. "Alright." He stood aside. After an awkward moment, he gestured for her to come in.
"I broke the chair, so I threw it away," he said. "You can sit on my bed. If you want."
She laughed. "I remember that."
There was another awkward pause.
"I guess I should be more chairful," Nick said dryly. What else was there to say about that? He couldn't help but fill such awkward or pointless moments with some corny joke. Just to show he didn't care. But in spite of himself, he found himself smiling at her and waiting for her reaction.
She looked to the side with a static smile. As if a sigh was on her lips. Nick was satisfied. This was the correct reaction. You couldn't trust the ones who laughed nervously, trying to look as if they found the joke funny. Trying to curry favour.
"Alright, I'll sit on the bed then."
She went over and sat, brushing down her denim overalls. Nick joined her on the bed but tried not to sit too close.
"My score is 6.8 now," she said. "It's getting ridiculous."
"Mine is 3.6. It's not getting anywhere near ridiculous."
He gave her a wry smile. He hadn't expected her to open up like this. It was surprising, frankly. And by her manner, it looked as if she was similarly surprised.
"I don't get how you can be so casual about it. Do you not wonder about my rocketing score? About how it's much higher than anyone else's? I thought I was pretty normal before...all of this."
"You are normal."
"Evidently not. I have to admit, I'm not even trying at this point."
"Yeah right."
"Okay. Not really trying anyway. I'll still do my best each session...but I don't try to push myself beyond my limits. I don't do exercises outside the tests."
Nick grinned.
"What?" She laughed. "I'm serious."
"I believe you," Nick said. "I just don't really care about any of this. Yes, it's peculiar that your score is so high. Especially when 'Tasha tries so hard. But that's just life, isn't it? Some people are just more talented at some things. Or more talented at a lot of things. Perhaps they're just smarter overall. And they can seem completely normal, just like everyone else."
"So... You really think I'm normal?"
"Probably. Besides your talent. Sure. Why are you so bothered?"
Tessa looked down, frowning. Her long lashes shielding her eyes. She interlocked her fingers, released them, and then repeated this pattern.
"I used to feel completely normal. I never had the desire to feel special. But now I am. Special. Now I have myself wondering what I am." She paused. "Now I have people like Natasha who envy me. Hate me for it. I don't like it."
A silence descended on them, and he used it to think for a moment.
"I don't get it, honestly. Why you would feel that way. You seem...nice. As for Natasha, f.uck what she thinks."
She lifted her head and her gaze met Nick's once more. Big, strikingly blue eyes. They bordered on watering, but perhaps that's just the way they were like normally. He hadn't looked into her eyes like this before. He didn't tend to look into people's eyes. It made him feel strange. Warmth tickled his neck. What was this feeling again? It seemed familiar.
"Thanks," she said. "Really, thank you."
"Uh, it's fine. I am kinda wondering why you would tell me this though. And not, you know, Rita."
She looked over, somewhat surprised.
"I have told her. I tell her everything. It's just that, she doesn't always give me the answer I want. I know, that sounds weird. Selfish of me, even. But more and more, she's telling me that I'm wrong, or that I should stand up to Natasha."
"Maybe you should." The words tumbled out of Nick's mouth. Like boulders on a cliffside after someone yells a bit too loudly. Too late to cover up his mouth in either case. "She has no power here. You're the one with the top score. And besides, pretty much everyone here likes you more than her. And you're taller. She should be looking up to you."
"I guess." Tessa fidgeted.
"Just my opinion. I mean, doing nothing is fine too. I mean it. If the motivation isn't there, then why force it. Right?"
"Right. I suppose that's the approach you take." She grinned at him. "Only joking. I'm sure you just don't care for these tests."
"I just don't care for anything at all."
The words just tumbled out again. Nick wasn't used to talking like this. The frankness of this conversation opened him up. But it wasn't just the conversation - it was hard to describe. He felt a certain aura from Tessa, a power. Or perhaps it was something else.
"That's sad," she said.
The tone wasn't mocking. It wasn't pitying either. It was just a statement.
"I um, I enjoyed talking to you," Tessa said. "You're a good listener. You seemed that way to me, which is why I came to talk to you now. I'm going to go now, but it would be nice to talk again."
"Yeah, that would be cool," Nick said. "Anytime."
"See ya, Nick. I hope you find something to care about."
But Nick already had. He decided he had to get his score up.

Berkshire Hathaway - MSR
In the MSR group, ISCAR is one of Bershire's five most profitable companies
In Bershire's manufacturing, sevices, and retail operations, one company stands out.
ISCAR is one of Berkshire's five most profitable companies outside its insurance businesses.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc on Wednesday said it paid $2.05 billion cash to buy the 20 percent it did not already own of toolmaker Iscar from the Israeli company's founding Wertheimer family.
Berkshire in 2006 bought an 80 percent stake in Iscar, a maker of metal cutting tools whose formal name is IMC International Metalworking Cos, for $4 billion.
At the time, that purchase was one of the largest acquisitions involving an Israeli company, and Buffett's biggest bet outside the United States. Wednesday's purchase suggests that Iscar's value has since more than doubled.
"As you can surmise from the price we're paying for the remaining interest, IMC has enjoyed very significant growth over the last seven years," Buffett said in a statement.
The acquisition was announced three days before Buffett will welcome more than 35,000 people to Berkshire's annual meeting in its hometown of Omaha, Nebraska.
In his annual letter to shareholders on March 1, Buffett described Iscar as one of Berkshire's five most profitable companies outside its insurance businesses.
While Berkshire does not break out Iscar results separately, it said the Tefen, Israel-based unit's profit fell in 2012 because of slowing economic conditions in some non-U.S. markets.
A year ago, Buffett in his shareholder letter described Iscar's management as "brilliant strategists and operators."
Iscar ended 2012 with more than 11,900 employees.
The Wertheimers' sale of an 80 percent Iscar stake in 2006, announced one day before Berkshire's annual meeting that year, made the family among the richest in Israel.
Stef Wertheimer, who is German-born and founded Iscar in 1952, has established a number of industrial parks in Israel aimed at promoting peace by having Jews and Arabs work together.
The law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz advised the Wertheimer family on the Iscar transaction. The law firm Munger, Tolles & Olson advised Berkshire.

What is about a word "ijo" and "insa":
empty -- jo e ijo ala (has no things)
full -- jo e ijo ali (has, all possible, things)
empty -- jo e insa ala (has no content inside)
full -- jo e insa pini (has a completed content inside)
What is a mission of a box (a tube, an oil pipeline)? -- to be filled, no decorated. The decor is a mission of a surface (supa), walls (sinpin), clothes (len)... head (lawa) by a crown. I would like to say: the decoration is "sitelen" (including an arabic written pictures).'insa pini' "finished inside" sould like interior decoration, not fullness
Thank you for a useful prompt.Surface of an object is more likely 'selo' than 'supa'

The Brandy Snifter of Blood.

While working on the sculptures of Always Becoming on the Smithsonian Mall, Fred Nahwooksy often stopped by the site to talk with the crew. At one point he brought a rock from his house and asked that it be incorporated into the one of the forms we were building. We planted Fred's rock inside the female form hidden within one of the tee-pee shapes. One day Fred invited me to the Smithsonian's National Gallery to look at a Jasper John's exhibit. Fred had an hour for lunch so the exhibit walk through became a sprint through Jasper John's years of work. That lunch hour was also an introduction into Fred Nahwooksy's thought process. While we looked at art Fred spoke about the state of Contemporary Native Art, ideas he had for a painting and the projects he was working on for NMAI, Fred's thoughts, articulated with lightning speed and clarity made the hour pass far too quickly for me. After that day whenever we had time Fred and I would visit a different exhibit and each time it was an exercise in keeping up with his train of thought and his walking pace and I loved it. I was inspired by the way Fred looked at the world and the people in it, he was a practical thinker and yet he took his love for art into his work, emphasizing a creative approach to more administrative and mundane details. Fred was smart and at times sarcastic as hell. Fred thought about things and was not afraid to speak his mind which was energizing and at times intimidating. He loved intellectual banter and few did it better with him than his friend, Rick Hill. A couple of times I had the opportunity to hear Rick and Fred spar. The verbal volley was fast and competitive, the jokes rolled easily and woe to anyone standing in the way of their rollicking discourse, whatever the topic.
Last Spring while filming at NMAI for Always Becoming, I asked Fred if we could interview him. Of course Fred had a lot on his mind and was more than willing to share his thoughts with us. Below is a good part of the interview. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have interviewed one of our best and brightest on that early Spring lunch hour when he was full of life and of course, just a tad ornery.
Fred, you will be missed.
The Always Becoming sculpture called, Mountain Bird has a red mud, female form in it's center. Several days ago, shortly after Fred's passing, Mountain Bird lost part of it's bamboo siding. Heavy rains washed away a layer of Mountain Bird exposing the red mud form. When this happened I thought of Fred's rock buried in the foundation of the sculpture now visible.

Hey everyone,
I made these a while ago on our company's 3D printer, and I figured I'd upload the pic for anyone who's curious. I made them with a compound angle, meaning that the highest corners are where the F2 and F8 keys are, and the lowest corners are the Popup and Pause Break keys. Those actually touch the desktop, which is why the holder is split like it is.
For the very curious, the little dark spots you see on the top surface is just where the plastic from the 3D printer didn't cover completely. I must have used too thin of a wall on the top surface, but it doesn't matter, since the keyboard sits flat on the whole surface. The circle in the center is just for design, I could have just as easily made it an X shape. The little "legs" standing up around the edges hold the keyboard halves firmly in place.

English Teacher
I have been correcting my students when they say that they "work a part time job" telling them that they should say that they "do a part time job."
However, I just checked Google and find that there are quite a few hits for "work a job." Many of them are of the form "work a job fair," which is a different kind of usage,
But there are also people saying things like
"I work a job that in no way describes me or determines who I am as a person."
"I work a job that makes the rest of these on this post look pretty damn interesting."
Is this usage correct? Is it correct to say "I work a job"? Or should one say "I do a job"?
For me if someone says "I work a part time job" or "I am working a part time job" then it sounds like they are using the part time job (work a piece of machinery) or making the most out of their part time job, perhaps even decieving the manager (I think that con men are said to "work a mark"), and not simply doing their part time job. E.g. "I really needed money for my heroin addiction, so I worked that part time job like there was no tomorrow, taking home office stationery, raiding the till, and even stealing from my co-workers." Again if a "job" is a bank job, or other often illegal endeavour, then "Sid is working a job right now, tunnelling under the Ealing branch of Lloyds," also sounds grammatically correct.
But then Americans say "Good job" when I would say "Well done." So perhaps the reason why people are using "I work a job" is not because the usage of "work" is different, but that their usage of job, is in this case refering to something like "bank job," in the above, that is to say an endeavour but not a nefarious one. For me "a job" when used as a word for an endeavour rather than a type of employment, refers to an otherwise unmentionable endeavour, such as in the famously unmentionable "big job."
Also I think that I could say "I work at a job that I enjoy," where I would be kind of using "job" as workplace, or company. But at the same time "working at a job" sounds a bit like I am "working at getting promotion", or "working at achieving my dreams," and not the same as simply doing the job.
Last edited by timtak; 27-Oct-2010 at 09:18. Reason: add my interpretation of the target phrase
Thank you very much.
Are there any speakers of American (or other varieties of) English that would be so kind as to share their opinion?
I am working this thread.
As an Australian teaching American English, I am in a similar position to you.
I have heard Americans use the phrase "work a job". I am not sure if it considered correct in standard American English however. I am curious too, so I hope one or more Americans sees this thread and sheds some light on this.
I have occasionally heard Australians use this phrase and it sounds natural, but perhaps colloquial, to me.
Last edited by Munch; 28-Oct-2010 at 07:32. Reason: To give the Australian point of view.
I am not necessarily teaching American English. My workplace emphasises TOEIC which contains US, Canadian, UK, and Australian English.
So, Munch, to an Australian "work a job" sounds "correct but colloquial." This is important.
I would like to hear it from an American English user too.
An English friend said that he thought "work a job" sounds like the language of "a mafia dude," as well as being a tautology.
Last edited by timtak; 28-Oct-2010 at 12:17. Reason: to point out that I am meant to be teaching Australian English too so Munch's post was definately useful
I would like to say "do a job" in my life,this reads smoothly and is more reasonable ...
I have been correcting my students when they say that they "work a part time job" telling them that they should say that they "do a part time job."
As an AmE speaker I would say "I have a part time job at S-mart" or "I work part time for S-mart" or "I do some odd jobs for the neighbor" "I did some work in the neighbor's yard".
To me, a job is something you have and work is something you do. I think sometimes job is used in place of work. When I say "good job" I'm really saying you did good work.
I might say that I work at a job that is boring but never that I work a job and it is boring.
If someone said to me that they "did a job" I would think guns were involved and if they "worked a job" I would wonder how much they stole.
Strangely, this sounds more natural when you insert the qualifier "part-time". "Working a part-time job" sounds better to me than "working a job", which I'd never say.
Different countries people use a language with different style in their communities.
