Summarize the following:
The average sand flea can range in size from a speck of salt to a grain of rice. In fact, sand fleas often look like sand particles themselves, which is how they’re able to attach to their hosts without being noticed. While it is possible to spot sand fleas with the naked eye, you’ll usually have to look quite closely. Sand fleas most often attach to feet and legs since they’re closest to the ground. If you notice something crawling or jumping anywhere on your body, you can be sure it’s not just dirt. Sand fleas bite their hosts in order to feed and embed their eggs. Their bites leave behind round, red spots that may burn or itch intensely. The bite of a sand flea can be extremely uncomfortable and will almost always cause irritation, especially when rubbed or scratched. A small black head or white pustule at the center of a bite may be an indication that a sand flea has burrowed into the skin and laid eggs. Resist the urge to scratch itchy sand flea bites. While this may provide temporary relief, it increase the risk of spreading infected saliva or egg deposits beneath the skin. Medications like Benadryl and Neosporin can help alleviate the burning and itching brought about by sand flea bites. It may also be useful to swab the bite with rubbing alcohol, as this will dry out the wound and prevent it from becoming infected. Most sand flea bites will clear up within a week or two and won’t cause any lasting health effects. Essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus and tea tree can also offer drying action and relief from itching. If you notice a sand flea bite beginning to swell or grow more painful, visit a doctor right away.

Learn to identify sand fleas. Scan yourself for bites. Apply a topical antihistamine.

It was New Year's Eve and we just finished watching the fireworks out on the Strip. Now we needed a place to drink and celebrate until early in the morning. Since we didn't feel like dropping $200 a person at Jet, we decided to try to this place out. It wasn't that bad. Yeah, it was smallish and the music was random at times (sorry DJ dude), but it's was New Year's morning and it seems like every lounge on the strip was trying to be a club, and this place did a good job of doing that. The mass amounts of alcohol also helped. We all had a good time. After reading some of the other reviews about this place, I'll have to come back and appreciate it for the lounge it's suppose to be. Happy New Years Yelpers.

Mariam "Mimi" Bell, a Latina Republican from Colorado, resents the implication that Hispanic voters are somehow negatively affected by the state's new voter identification law. "It's insulting when they say we're going to disenfranchise the Hispanics," Bell said of the law that requires voters to present an ID such as a driver's license, passport, utility bill or birth certificate to vote. The suggestion, Bell said, is "because we're Hispanics we're inept to get an ID." The debate over the wave of voter identification laws cropping up in more than 30 states is playing out against the backdrop of the 2012 general election's high-profile fight for Latino voters.
People have to show IDs for everything from boarding a flight to renting sports equipment,

Summarize this article in one sentence.
Following a goalless first half, Blackburn took a 54th-minute lead when unmarked Sam Gallagher headed home Charlie Mulgrew's left-wing cross.
But Villa drew level three minutes later when Gordon Greer brought down Jack Grealish and Jonathan Kodjia converted from the spot.
The Ivory Coast striker doubled his tally to hand Villa all three points.
Kodjia was criticised by Birmingham manager Gary Rowett for the number of times he went to ground in last week's derby.
But his 71st-minute strike, following Mile Jedinak's assist, proved the difference and ensured Villa remain the only Championship side not to be beaten at home this season.
They climb up to 14th in the table and are now unbeaten in five games under Bruce.
Blackburn remain 23rd and have now lost three games in a row.
Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce: "I thought Kodjia probably had his best game for the club and hopefully we can continue moving upwards.
"You only have to watch him and realise what a good player he is. He has that little trick of playing on the side, like the French - and this helps me getting an extra striker onto the pitch.
"We didn't do enough in the first half, although we started the second half much brighter when we played with a bit of energy and fire.
"It was a big test going behind and not playing well. Thankfully, we responded in the right manner and started looking like a team."
Blackburn boss Owen Coyle: "In the first half we dominated the game and could have been two goals ahead.
"Sam is a very talented young player who I believe will play in the Premier League.
"I've told the players, and I was quite vocal about it, that they must not give away soft goals when we are in a winning position.
"There is enough in the team to know we will move up the table. It is frustrating because we are performing well against good teams and it is hard to leave without any points."

(CNN) -- While the eyes of golfing world were on rising star Rory McIlroy on Thursday, two surprise names claimed the first-round lead at the British Open. A tearful Thomas Bjorn overcame the recent death of his father to shoot a superb five-under-par 65 despite difficult early conditions -- then late in the day 20-year-old amateur Tom Lewis shocked everyone by joining him at the top of the leaderboard with a record-breaking effort. The duo share a coach, but apart from that their stories could not be more different. The 40-year-old Bjorn was able to tee off at Royal St. George's -- where he blew his best chance of winning a major title in 2003 after squandering a four-shot lead on the last day -- only after several players pulled out, including Tiger Woods and lastly Vijay Singh on Monday.

Perhaps our "eh" experience was magnified because we arrived at Bomberos right after having dined at Postino for dinner. The huge difference between the quality of service was hard to miss! Our group of 6 was quickly seated, and the hostess was kind enough to turn up the heater to make sure we were warm enough. That was the highlight of the service. Now, the service was definitely not rude... it wasn't inconsiderate... it was just... well... not very good. Our waitress (and apparently the chef) could not tell us the ingredients in any of the desserts. Even though they source their desserts from Tammie Coe, why don't they know what is in them? For people with allergies, this can make or break a meal. Since we couldn't confirm the ingredients, my husband had to make do with a coffee, while I indulged in the Creme Brulee. It was good. Pleasant, but certainly nothing spectacular. The few times our waitress came by to check on our group, she seemed to have strange timing... like she didn't really know how to leave... she just sort of stood there a few seconds too long, until it was slightly awkward. Strange. Then, we wouldn't see her for large stretches of time... we were getting thirsty with no water refills! I'm hoping it was just an off night/server... and we'll definitely try again, as we really loved the outdoor patio and roaring fire. Beautiful and romantic! We'll cross our fingers for improvements with the service.

Coming off their bye week, the Chargers went home, donned their throwback uniforms, and played a Week 6 AFL Legacy duel with the Denver Broncos on Monday night. In the first quarter, San Diego struck first with kicker Nate Kaeding getting a 20-yard field goal. The Broncos would immediately respond as wide receiver Eddie Royal returned a kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown, yet the Chargers came back with quarterback Philip Rivers completing a 3-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Vincent Jackson. Denver would take the lead in the second quarter with a 34-yard field goal from kicker Matt Prater and Royal returning a punt 71 yards for a touchdown. Afterwards, San Diego closed out the half with a Kaeding 44-yard field goal and running back Darren Sproles' 77-yard punt return for a touchdown. In the third quarter, the Chargers would add onto their lead with Kaeding nailing a 50-yard field goal. However, the Broncos would take the lead with quarterback Kyle Orton's 19-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tony Scheffler. In the fourth quarter, Denver would increase their lead with Prater's 29-yard field goal and Orton finding wide receiver Brandon Stokley on a 5-yard touchdown pass. San Diego tried to rally, but the Broncos' defense stood strong and held for the win. With the loss, the Chargers fell to 2-3. This is also their 3rd straight season where after 5 games, the team has started 2-3.

Heitor Villa-Lobos (Portuguese: [ej,toR ,vila 'lobus]; March 5, 1887 - November 17, 1959) was a Brazilian composer, described as "the single most significant creative figure in 20th-century Brazilian art music". Villa-Lobos has become the best-known South American composer of all time. A prolific composer, he wrote numerous orchestral, chamber, instrumental and vocal works, totaling over 2000 works by his death in 1959. His music was influenced by both Brazilian folk music and by stylistic elements from the European classical tradition, as exemplified by his Bachianas Brasileiras (Brazilian Bachian-pieces).
Heitor Villa-Lobos was born in Rio de Janeiro. His father, Raul, was a civil servant, an educated man of Spanish extraction, a librarian, and an amateur astronomer and musician. In Villa-Lobos's early childhood, Brazil underwent a period of social revolution and modernisation, abolishing slavery in 1888 and overthrowing the Empire of Brazil in 1889. The changes in Brazil were reflected in its musical life: previously European music had been the dominant influence, and the courses at the Conservatorio de Musica were grounded in traditional counterpoint and harmony. Villa-Lobos underwent very little of this formal training. After a few abortive harmony lessons, he learnt music by illicit observation from the top of the stairs of the regular musical evenings at his house arranged by his father. He learned to play cello, guitar and clarinet. When his father died suddenly in 1899 he earned a living for his family by playing in cinema and theatre orchestras in Rio. Around 1905 Villa-Lobos started explorations of Brazil's "dark interior", absorbing the native Brazilian musical culture. Serious doubt has been cast on some of Villa-Lobos's tales of the decade or so he spent on these expeditions, and about his capture and near escape from cannibals, with some believing them to be fabrications or wildly embellished romanticism. After this period, he gave up any idea of conventional training and instead absorbed the musical influences of Brazil's indigenous cultures, themselves based on Portuguese and African, as well as American Indian elements. His earliest compositions were the result of improvisations on the guitar from this period. Villa-Lobos played with many local Brazilian street-music bands; he was also influenced by the cinema and Ernesto Nazareth's improvised tangos and polkas. For a time Villa-Lobos became a cellist in a Rio opera company, and his early compositions include attempts at Grand Opera. Encouraged by Arthur Napoleao, a pianist and music publisher, he decided to compose seriously.

In 1952, the United States elected a new president, and on 29 November 1952, the president-elect, Dwight D. Eisenhower, went to Korea to learn what might end the Korean War. With the United Nations' acceptance of India's proposed Korean War armistice, the KPA, the PVA, and the UN Command ceased fire with the battle line approximately at the 38th parallel. Upon agreeing to the armistice, the belligerents established the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which has since been patrolled by the KPA and ROKA, United States, and Joint UN Commands.

Born Marilyn Ann Briggs in Providence, Rhode Island, Chambers was raised in Westport, Connecticut, in a middle-class household. It is often reported that she was born in Westport; however, in a 2007 interview Chambers confirmed she was born in Providence but grew up in Westport. Her father was in advertising and her mother was a nurse. She was the youngest of three children, including a brother, Martin Briggs (keyboardist for 1960s Boston band The Remains), and a sister, Jann Smith.
On February 1, 1985, while performing her nude act at the "Cine-Stage" within the Mitchell Brothers' O'Farrell Theatre in San Francisco, Chambers was arrested by a vice squad and charged with committing a lewd act in a public place and soliciting prostitution. It was alleged by plainclothes policemen who were in the audience that Chambers allowed audience members to touch her with their hands and mouths during her show called "Feel the Magic". She was released on $2,000 bail and the charges were later dropped. "I've never been arrested in my life for anything, ever, so this is kind of a big shock for me, not only as a performer but as a human being", Chambers said at the time. "It's a heartbreaker. This is supposed to be a hip city. I really love -- make that LOVED -- this city. These people have been my fans for years, and it's a thrill for them to touch me up close. There's nothing illegal if I'm not taking money." Chambers' attorney claimed that Chambers was used "as a pawn in a struggle over control and adult businesses." Chambers' arrest came three days before the Board of Supervisors were to vote on a proposed ordinance to eliminate police permits for adult bookstores and theaters. In the wake of her arrest, the Board stripped police of their power to license the city's adult theaters. "The O'Farrell was packed the day after we were arrested," Chambers said later. "And they put the mayor's phone number up on the marquee -- 'Call Mayor Dianne Feinstein'...I'm in jail with my fur coat and nothing else on, and [the police officers] want to take pictures. I took a mug shot with every cop in the place, and they're going, 'I'm really sorry we had to do this.' And the next night they were all back enjoying the show". Later that year on December 13 she was arrested during a performance at Stage Door Johnny's, a strip club in Cleveland. Police said she was nude except for her shoes and was having sexual contact with an audience member. She was charged with promoting prostitution and was held in jail until she was freed on a $1,000 bond. Chambers denied the charge, saying, "I did the same show I've been doing for the last six years. Police just happened to be in the audience." In November 2012 the mugshots from Chambers' Cleveland arrest sold on eBay for $202.50.

I think if you are going to play the SuperBowl, you should make sure your body is tight. The Superbowl represents being in your best physical appearance. It was obvious tonight at the Superbowl that Lady Gaga was not in her best physical form. While I thought Lady Gaga gave a great half time show, it was distracting to see that her belly was hanging over her bottoms. It was slightly distracting.
While I appreciate the fact that a female can be on television and show a little fat, it was definitely slightly distracting – especially after seeing her in the Tiffany commercial where she looked nearly perfect. She sings exceptionally well – but why show your midriff if it is not in good shape. Especially for the SuperBowl.
Her performance was great – but we know that Lady Gaga has had weight issues in the past. During her Born This Way tour, there were multiple reports of her drinking and gaining weight during the tour; this is the same tour that she cancelled due to a “leg injury”, but all the fans know it was that she was addicted to pain medicine and drinking alcohol. Dont hate me Little Monsters. I loved her half time show. But her belly fat was a sign of someone who likes to abuse alcohol and prescription pills and does not take care of her body.

In response to the 1966 ruling by the International Court of Justice, South-West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO) military wing, People's Liberation Army of Namibia, a guerrilla group began their armed struggle for independence, but it was not until 1988 that South Africa agreed to end its occupation of Namibia, in accordance with a UN peace plan for the entire region. During the South African occupation of Namibia, white commercial farmers, most of whom came as settlers from South Africa and represented 0.2% of the national population, owned 74% of the arable land. Outside the central-southern area of Namibia (known as the "Police Zone" since the German era and which contained the main towns, industries, mines and best arable land), the country was divided into "homelands", the version of South African bantustan applied to Namibia, although only a few were actually established because indigenous Namibians often did not cooperate.

Here is a question about this article: While Old Czech had a basic alphabet from which a general set of orthographical correspondences was drawn, it did not have a standard orthography. It also contained a number of sound clusters which no longer exist; allowing ě (/jɛ/) after soft consonants, which has since shifted to e (/ɛ/), and allowing complex consonant clusters to be pronounced all at once rather than syllabically. A phonological phenomenon, Havlik's law (which began in Proto-Slavic and took various forms in other Slavic languages), appeared in Old Czech; counting backwards from the end of a clause, every odd-numbered yer was vocalized as a vowel, while the other yers disappeared.

Perhaps our "eh" experience was magnified because we arrived at Bomberos right after having dined at Postino for dinner. The huge difference between the quality of service was hard to miss! Our group of 6 was quickly seated, and the hostess was kind enough to turn up the heater to make sure we were warm enough. That was the highlight of the service. Now, the service was definitely not rude... it wasn't inconsiderate... it was just... well... not very good. Our waitress (and apparently the chef) could not tell us the ingredients in any of the desserts. Even though they source their desserts from Tammie Coe, why don't they know what is in them? For people with allergies, this can make or break a meal. Since we couldn't confirm the ingredients, my husband had to make do with a coffee, while I indulged in the Creme Brulee. It was good. Pleasant, but certainly nothing spectacular. The few times our waitress came by to check on our group, she seemed to have strange timing... like she didn't really know how to leave... she just sort of stood there a few seconds too long, until it was slightly awkward. Strange. Then, we wouldn't see her for large stretches of time... we were getting thirsty with no water refills! I'm hoping it was just an off night/server... and we'll definitely try again, as we really loved the outdoor patio and roaring fire. Beautiful and romantic! We'll cross our fingers for improvements with the service.

Write an article based on this summary:
– A freak injury may have just taken out the greatest closer of all time. Mariano Rivera tore his ACL and his meniscus while shagging flyballs during batting practice yesterday, likely ending his season and, many are speculating, his career. Rivera had already hinted that he might retire after this year. Asked if he thought he'd play again, Rivera whispered, "At this point I don't know. Going to have to face this first," Fox Sports reports. Catching balls in the outfield has been a pregame ritual for Rivera his entire career. Rivera considers himself a decent center fielder, and had even begged Joe Girardi to let him play the position before he retired, the New York Times points out. Girardi had refused, ironically, because he was worried about the risk of injury. "If it's going to happen, it's going to happen doing something I love to do. And shagging I love to do," said Rivera, who has a record 608 saves to his name. "I'd do the same thing, without hesitation."

With New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera's career possibly over due to a freak ball shagging accident, we look at some of the more colorful shutdown artists who have pitched in the major leagues.
The New York Yankees' 12-time All-Star and baseball's greatest closer, Mariano Rivera, has torn his ACL and meniscus Thursday night before the Yankees' game in Kansas City likely ending his season, and quite possibly his career.
The injury could be an unfathomable way for one of the most decorated pitchers in history to go out.
Rivera drifted back to the outfield wall, just like he'd done in batting practice so many times before tracking down another fly ball with childlike joy.
Everything changed before anybody could blink.
Rivera caught his cleat where the grass meets the warning track in Kansas City, his right knee buckling before he hit the wall. He landed on the dirt, his face contorted in pain, as Alex Rodríguez uttered the words "Oh, my God" from some 400 feet away.
If it's going to happen, it's going to happen doing something I love to do. And shagging I love to do. I'd do the same thing, without hesitation. The reasons why it happen, you have to take it as it is. Fight through it. You know, just have to fight. - Mariano Rivera
Bullpen coach Mike Harkey was the first to reach Rivera, whistling toward the Yankees' dugout for help. Manager Joe Girardi had been watching from behind the batter's box and set off at a run down the third-base line, angling toward center field and his fallen reliever.
"My thought was he has a torn ligament, by the way he went down," Girardi said later.
His instincts proved correct.
Rivera was diagnosed with a torn ACL and meniscus Thursday night after an MRI exam taken during the Yankees' 4-3 loss to the Royals. The injury likely ends his season, and quite possibly his career, an unfathomable way for one of the most decorated pitchers in history to go out.
"It's not a good situation, but again, we've been through this before, and we're being tested one more time," Rivera said, pausing to compose himself in the Yankees' clubhouse. "It's more mentally than physical, you know? You feel like you let your team down."
The 42-year-old Rivera has said that he'll decide after the season whether hang it up after 18 years in the major leagues. And while Girardi said he hopes that baseball's career saves leader makes a comeback, Rivera sounded as if retirement is a very real possibility.
"At this point, I don't know," he said in a whisper. "Going to have to face this first. It all depends on how the rehab is going to happen, and from there, we'll see."
The injury seemed to cast a pall over the Yankees, who played from behind the entire way Thursday night. They put the tying run on third base in the ninth inning before Mike Moustakas made a stellar play on a chopper by Rodríguez, throwing him out by a step to preserve the win.
Afterward, the only thing on A-Rod's mind was Rivera.
"I saw it all go down," Rodríguez said. "It's hard even to talk about it tonight. I mean, Mo has meant so much to us on a personal level, and his significance on the field, on the mound. But the bottom line is we're the New York Yankees, and nobody is going to feel sorry for us."
There's a much different feeling about Rivera, though. One of the most durable pitchers to ever play the game is well-liked and universally respected.
That's what happens when you save 608 games and have five World Series rings.
"You're talking about somebody who does something that's never been done," said Derek Jeter, who had four hits in the game. "It's not like somebody comes along the next day and does it."
Jeter said that Rivera has been shagging balls for "20-some years," at least as long as they've known each other. It never crossed the captain's mind that Rivera would get hurt tracking down a fly ball in batting practice. It's just something that people had come to accept.
"That's his conditioning. He's always shagging balls," Jeter said. "He's like a center fielder anyway. It was a freak thing. There's no other way you can explain it."
Girardi also defended Rivera's decision to shag balls in batting practice, pointing out that the reliever hadn't been on the disabled list since 2003, and reasoning that Rivera may never have become the same shutdown closer if not for all the work he put in before games.
"You have freak injuries, and this is one of them," Girardi said. "We had a guy carrying a box down the stairs that broke his foot. You can fall off a curb. You have to allow him to be an athlete and a baseball player and have fun out there. I've never seen Mo do anything recklessly, or seen Mo dive to try to rob a home run. It's the way he exercises."
Girardi was too far away from the outfield wall to see what happened, but he knew that Rivera had sustained a significant injury when he saw players and coaches gathering around him.
Rivera grabbed immediately at his right knee and started rubbing it, stopping only to briefly cover his face with his glove. Harkey and Girardi eventually carried Rivera to a cart brought onto the field, gently setting him into the back with his knee propped up.
"At first I thought he was being funny, but then I realized that he was injured, he was down, and that's when I really got worried," said David Phelps, who made his first major league start Thursday night. "There's nothing I can do but stand there and watch. It's a miserable feeling."
The cart rounded the warning track before disappearing up a tunnel, and Rivera didn't put any weight on his knee when he was helped back into the Yankees' clubhouse.
He was examined by Royals associate physician Dr. Joe Noland, but it wasn't until the MRI exam was taken at KU MedWest that head physician Dr. Vincent Key made the diagnosis.
"I thought it wasn't that bad, but it's torn," Rivera said. "Have to fix it."
Girardi said that Rivera would be reexamined by the Yankees' physicians, but Rivera said that he would rather remain with the team in Kansas City than fly back to New York on Friday.
The Yankees play three more against the Royals before a day off.
"If it's going to happen, it's going to happen doing something I love to do. And shagging I love to do," Rivera said. "I'd do the same thing, without hesitation. The reasons why it happen, you have to take it as it is. Fight through it. You know, just have to fight."
Rivera is only the latest closer to go down with a significant injury this season.
The Royals' Joakim Soria, the Reds' Ryan Madson and the Giants' Brian Wilson all required Tommy John surgery. Tampa Bay's Kyle Farnsworth is out with a strained elbow, Boston's Andrew Bailey had surgery to repair a ligament in his right thumb, and Washington's Drew Storen had a bone chip removed from his elbow, though the Nationals expect him to pitch this season.
Of course, none of those players has nearly the pedigree of Rivera.
With the same devastating cutter that has carried him for years, Rivera has made at least 60 appearances each of the last nine seasons. He blew a save on opening day this year, but allowed only two hits in eight scoreless innings after that, picking up five of his 608 saves.
"I always argued he was the best pitcher of all-time," first baseman Mark Teixeira said. "Not just the best reliever, but the best pitcher of all-time.
"Accidents happen. That's all I can say. You can get hurt getting out of bed, literally. You can get hurt doing anything," Teixeira said. "That's Mo. Part of what makes him great is he's so athletic, and he loves to run around out there and have fun. You can't play this game for 15-plus years without having fun. It was just a tough accident."

After the game, an emotional Rivera said through tears that he let the team down, and could not say if he would ever pitch again.

“At this point I don’t know, we have to face this first,” he said. After a pause to collect himself, he added: “It all depends how the rehab is going to happen. From there, we’ll see.”
As soon as Rivera fell in the outfield, the gravity of the moment could be read on the worried faces of everyone in the Yankees’ blue and gray uniforms.
Alex Rodriguez, who was waiting for his turn in the batting cage, appeared to say: “Oh my God. Oh, my God,” and immediately signaled to Girardi, who ran out to assist Rivera. For several minutes Rivera writhed on the warning track in obvious pain as grim-faced teammates and coaches stood nearby. After the game, the news was dealt with glumly in the Yankees’ clubhouse.
“I thought we were hoping for the best,” said Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira. “I told you this game is cruel before the game. It’s even more cruel now. That’s terrible. You can’t say anything else. It’s terrible.”
No one faulted Rivera for following the same pregame procedures he has throughout his career.
An outstanding athlete, Rivera fancies himself a credible center fielder, even pleading with Girardi to allow him to play the position in a game before he retires. Girardi has said numerous times he would like to accommodate Rivera, but was always too worried about an injury to let him go through with it.

For most of his 18 years with the Yankees, Rivera has been a fixture in center field during batting practice, along with the other pitchers, whose traditional duty is to retrieve fly balls. But Rivera always chased hits with more zeal and effort, including the one that led to his injury on Thursday.
The ball was hit by Jayson Nix, who had been called up from Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace the injured Eric Chavez. Rivera was in full trot chasing the ball when his knee gave way and he hopped once, banged off the wall and rolled to the ground.
“He’s been doing it and no one ever said a word,” Girardi said. “That’s part of who he is. You take that away from him and he may not be the same guy, the same pitcher.”

Rivera is widely considered the best closer of all time. He has the career record for saves with 608, most of which came after he replaced John Wetteland as the Yankees’ closer in 1997. Rivera has five this season, the last of which came Monday when he threw a scoreless inning in the Yankees’ 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Now the Yankees have to wonder if that will be the final save of his career.
“It’s crazy,” C.C. Sabathia said. “It’s tough. We have to do whatever we can to fill the void of the best closer in baseball. It’s going to be tough.”
The Yankees had already lost two pitchers to significant injuries this spring. Michael Pineda, who was acquired in a major trade in the off-season, underwent season-ending shoulder surgery on Tuesday. Joba Chamberlain, once considered Rivera’s possible successor, will be out for months after sustaining an open dislocation of his right ankle.

The Yankees have been bracing for the day when Rivera was no longer with them. During spring training this year, he hinted that this would be his final season in baseball. He said he knew what his decision was, and nothing would change his mind. At the time, he probably did not consider the possibility of a serious injury changing that timetable.
“Would I want it to end this way for Mo?” Girardi said. “No, I wouldn’t. So, we’ll just have to see. If it’s a torn A.C.L., that’s somewhat of a serious injury, and it’s a lot of work to get back.”
Rivera has not been on the disabled list since 2003, when he missed the first 25 games of the season with a groin injury sustained in spring training.

Dave Robertson, who has thrived as the setup man, would have come into the game in the ninth inning Thursday had the Yankees taken the lead. He is the most likely candidate to replace Rivera full time, but Rafael Soriano has also served in the role, most recently for the Atlanta Braves and the Tampa Bay Rays. Girardi said he would sleep on the decision and discuss it with his coaches.
“This is bad, there is no question about it,” he said. “This is not what you come to Kansas City for, to hear. But good teams find a way to overcome things. If we want to play in October, we’re going to have to find a way to overcome it.”
INSIDE PITCH

The rookie David Phelps, making his first major league start, gave up two runs in four innings. ...The Yankees placed the reserve infielder Eric Chavez on the seven-day disabled list with a concussion and whiplash, and there is no estimate for his return. ...Andy Pettitte will start Sunday for Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. |||||

Summarize this article:
Goo Gone is a product made specifically for removing adhesives, or anything that is sticky or greasy in general. It can be purchased from a supermarket or online. A bottle will typically be around $5 USD or less. There several Goo Gone products. The Original Goo Gone will work to remove the decal. You can also purchase it in a spray gel form, or buy the Goo Gone Sticker Lifter. They are slightly different products, but they work in the same way. You can also make a homemade Goo Gone by adding 1 part vegetable oil with 2 parts baking soda. Put the contents in a bowl or jar. Take the product and apply it to the decal with a rag or paper towel. If using a spray, spray it on and use a paper towel to spread the product over all of the decal. Use as much product as necessary to cover the entire decal. Once it is covered with Goo Gone, you should leave it on the decal for about 4 or 5 minutes. The decal should be loosened up at that point. Then, take a plastic ice scraper or similar tool and lift the decal from the bathtub. Start around the edges and work towards the center. Continue to use the tool until the decal has been completely removed. Use more Goo Gone if any sticky residue remains. Use hot, soapy water with a sponge or rag and wash the surface of the bathtub. This is to remove any Goo Gone residue. The adhesive residue should be gone at this point.

Purchase Goo Gone. Apply the product on the decal. Allow a few minutes for the product to sit. Wipe the surface.

Glaciers pick up rocks and sediment with them as they flow. This causes erosion and the formation of valleys over time. The Inn valley is an example of a valley carved by glaciers during the ice ages with a typical terraced structure caused by erosion. Eroded rocks from the most recent ice age lie at the bottom of the valley while the top of the valley consists of erosion from earlier ice ages. Glacial valleys have characteristically steep walls (reliefs); valleys with lower reliefs and talus slopes are remnants of glacial troughs or previously infilled valleys. Moraines, piles of rock picked up during the movement of the glacier, accumulate at edges, center and the terminus of glaciers.
Is there an answer to this question (If it cannot be answered, say "unanswerable"): What is an example of a valley carved by glaciers during the ice ages?

Background: Future Islands is an American synthpop band based in Baltimore, Maryland, and signed to 4AD, currently comprising Gerrit Welmers (keyboards and programming), William Cashion (bass, acoustic and electric guitars), and Samuel T. Herring (lyrics and vocals). The band was formed in January 2006 by Welmers, Cashion and Herring--the remaining members of the performance art college band Art Lord & the Self-Portraits--and drummer Erick Murillo. Murillo left in November 2007, after which the band relocated to Baltimore, MD, and released the debut album Wave Like Home through British label
Context: When Art Lord & the Self Portraits disbanded in late 2005, its members forgot they had discussed with alt-country band The Texas Governor the possibility of touring together. Future Islands was formed in early 2006 to keep that commitment, with an original line-up consisting of Cashion, Herring, Welmers and Erick Murillo--bassist for The Kickass --who played an electronic drum kit. Already as Art Lord & the Self-Portraits, the band wanted to change their image and took this opportunity to do so. William Cashion stated: "Me and Gerrit had been talking for a while about how we wanted to get rid of the gimmick. We wanted to be taken seriously. Our songs had outgrown the gimmick that the band was made on. The songs were starting to deal with bigger, personal, universal themes. We wanted to be taken seriously." The band played their first show on February 12, 2006 at an anti-Valentine's Day party in a venue called the Turducken house, opening for about a dozen bands. After writing 6-7 songs in only one week, they had to come up with a new name quickly, narrowing it down to two choices--Future Shoes and Already Islands--and combining them into one. Future Islands self-released the EP Little Advances on April 28, 2006 which they recorded in March 2006. A couple of months later, Herring dropped out college and left Greenville to deal with a substance abuse problem he had acquired: In June, I left town and didn't come back. It was just drug problems, man. I got sucked into the darkness of partying and shit college kids do. I came clean to my parents and said, 'Look, I have a problem and need your help.' I stayed at my parent's for about a month and then moved across the state to Asheville, North Carolina. It took about a year for me to get my act together. The band still continued and on January 6, 2007 they self-released a split CD with Welmers' solo project Moss of Aura, recorded in December 2006.

Article: Make sure the scissors or garden shears are very sharp, as dull shears can damage the plants. If you notice any dirt on the shears, soak them in water with a teaspoon of bleach and then wipe them dry. A clean tool will ensure your plants are not exposed to bacteria or pests when you prune them. You can find garden shears for pruning online or at your local hardware store. If you are worried about scratching your hands while you prune, wear gardening gloves. If you have houseplants that do not flower, prune them in late winter. For houseplants with flowers or blooms, wait until they have bloomed before you prune them. Do not prune houseplants when unopened buds are present on the stems. Look for any leaves or limbs on the plant that are brown or discolored. They may also appear limp or dry. Use the shears to cut them off just below the brown or dead area at a 45 degree angle. This will ensure you leave as much of the healthy foliage on the plant as possible. Do not cut off any leaves or limbs that still appear green and vibrant. If a large section of the leafy area appears dead, you can cut off the entire branch. Leave the main stem intact and remove branches shooting off of the stem at a 45 degree angle. If you have houseplants that are flowering, make sure you check them over for any dead flowers and remove them. The flowers may appear brown, discolored, and limp. They may also feel dry to the touch. Cut the dead flowers off with the shears at the base of the flower’s head. Removing dead and dying flowers on the plant will encourage the growth of newer, more vibrant blooms.

Use sharp scissors or garden shears. Prune the plants at the beginning of their growing season. Remove dead leaves and limbs at a 45 degree angle. Trim off any dead flowers.

Article: Even if you clean your sponge on a weekly basis, you should still sterilize it using heat at least once a month. This is especially important if you use your blender sponge on a daily basis. Standard cleaning removes surface bacteria, but the only way to kill bacteria lying deeper in the sponge is by killing it with a short burst of intense heat. You may need to sterilize the sponge more than once a month if you notice the bacteria building up more rapidly. Signs of intense bacteria build-up include uncharacteristic acne breakouts and a foul/unusual odor coming from within the sponge. Note that you'll still need to perform a basic cleaning procedure after sterilizing the sponge. Sterilization will only kill the bacteria; it will not remove any cosmetic stains or foundation. Place the uncovered bowl in your microwave and run the appliance at full power for 30 seconds. Keep an eye on the blender sponge as you microwave it. Don't be alarmed if it expands slightly or if small trails of smoke develop, but stop the microwave immediately if it balloons up past its full size or if heavy smoke starts to form. Wait one or two minutes before removing the bowl from the microwave and removing the sponge from the water. The sponge will likely be very hot once the microwave cycle ends, and the waiting period is primarily for your own protection. You can actually handle the sponge as soon as it is cool enough to touch.

Sterilize the sponge monthly. Microwave for 30 seconds. Let it rest.

Homecoming Ends in Murder of Veteran
Sylmar. A 22-year-old army veteran, recently returned from Afghanistan, was shot and killed early this morning after a dispute erupted outside a party celebrating his homecoming.
“The ironies are obvious,” said Lt. Paul Vernon, commanding officer of the Mission Detective Division. “To survive as a soldier in an overseas conflict, only to be killed in your old neighborhood upon your return.”
A proud and happy girlfriend had given a party for Francisco Garcia on Dronfield Street in Sylmar, Saturday night, November 8. The gathering at the girlfriend’s home carried over into Sunday morning, just before 2 AM, when the partygoers decided to move the party up the street.
Francisco was standing on the west sidewalk, north of Astoria Street, when two cars stopped northbound. A Hispanic man exited a dark SUV, smashed a beer bottle on the ground and yelled at Francisco across the street. The man walked to a white Toyota or Honda behind the SUV and retrieved a handgun from an occupant, then started shooting.
Francisco was shot and died at the scene. “It appears Francisco was the target of the attack,” Lt. Vernon said. “Apparently, a simmering dispute had boiled over during the night, and this suspect came looking for Francisco. Figuring out the dispute should lead us to the shooter.”
Detectives do not believe the occupants of the SUV or the white car had been at the party earlier, but came from another location.
Detectives interviewed several witnesses at the scene and collected evidence, including several bullet casings. No one else was injuring in the shooting.
Anyone with information is urged to call Det. Efren Gutierrez, Mission Homicide Unit, at
(818) 838-9948. Anonymous tips can be called into Crimestoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477), or by texting 274637 (C-R-I-M-E-S on most keypads) with a cell phone.

# # # # # ||||| SYLMAR (CBSLA.com) — A 21-year-old Army veteran who recently returned from serving in Afghanistan was fatally shot early Sunday morning while attending a party with friends.
According to the LAPD, Francisco Garcia attended a party with several friends on Saturday evening at a home located on Dronfield Street.
Around 2:00 a.m. Sunday, those who attended the party moved up the street to a different location.
Officers explained Garcia was standing on the sidewalk, North of Astoria Street, when two cars stopped near Sylmar High School.
A Hispanic man reportedly exited a dark SUV and proceeded to smash a beer bottle on the ground while yelling at Garcia across the street.
He then walked to the second vehicle, described as a white Toyota or Honda, retrieved a handgun from a second suspect and started shooting at Garcia.
Authorities said Garcia was shot and died at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
“It appears Francisco was the target of the attack,” said Lt. Paul Vernon, commanding officer of the Mission Detective Division. “Apparently, a simmering dispute had boiled over during the night, and this suspect came looking for Francisco. Figuring out the dispute should lead us to the shooter.”
Authorities initially reported that Garcia’s girlfriend hosted the party in celebration of his return from Afghanistan. Police later revealed that no evidence showed the party was a celebration in his honor.
KCAL9’s Joy Benedict spoke with LAPD Detective Juan Santa, who said Garcia had been discharged from Afghanistan about two weeks ago.
However, family members explained he had returned home about three to four months ago.
Friends gathered at the crime scene Sunday morning to make sense of what happened over night.
They told Benedict that Garcia recently was accepted into the California Highway Patrol Academy, a longtime dream of his to enter law enforcement.
Detectives said they do not believe the suspects inside of the SUV or white car had attended the party earlier, and are believed to have come from another location.
Witnesses were interviewed at the scene and several bullet casings were collected.
The investigation is ongoing as the motive of the shooting is unclear.
No further description of the suspects have been released at this time; however, officers believe the men knew each other prior to the shooting.
Family and friends plan to gather at 6:00 p.m. for a vigil at Sylmar High School to honor and remember Garcia.

Police were searching for a gunman Sunday after a dispute ended with an Army veteran being shot and killed at a homecoming party thrown for the young man at his girlfriend’s Sylmar home, according to police officials. The incident occurred two days before Veterans Day.
The man was identified by police as 22-year-old Francisco Garcia. The coroner's officer later stated he was 21.
Friends of Garcia's said he had returned home from Afghanistan about two weeks ago, and Garcia had stated on Facebook last Tuesday that his application to join the California Highway Patrol Academy had been accepted.
“The ironies are obvious,” Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Paul Vernon said. “To survive as a soldier in an overseas conflict, only to be killed in your old neighborhood upon your return.”
Garcia’s “proud and happy girlfriend” hosted the homecoming party Saturday night when shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday partygoers decided to move outside, according to a LAPD news release.
The group was located in the 13200 block of Dronfield Avenue (map) when the incident occurred, according to the coroner's office.
As Garcia stood on the sidewalk, a Hispanic man exited a dark SUV, smashed a beer bottle on the ground and yelled at the veteran from across the street, the news release stated.
The man then retrieved a handgun from an occupant of a white Toyota or Honda, located behind the SUV, and shot Garcia. He died at the scene.
“It appears Francisco was the target of the attack,” Vernon said. “Apparently, a simmering dispute had boiled over during the night, and this suspect came looking for Francisco. Figuring out the dispute should lead us to the shooter.”
Investigators did not believe the occupants of the white car or SUV had attended the party.
Garcia was remembered Sunday night by dozens of mourners who gathered for a vigil at the scene of the shooting.
They stood near a makeshift memorial comprised of flowers, an American flag, and candles that were arranged in the shape of a heart and the nickname "Franky."
"Any man that puts on the uniform of the United States armed forces, in my book, is a hero," said a man who attended the vigil. "That he would go abroad to serve our country, then come back to die on our streets, is really just … gut-wrenching. No veteran should have to ever face that."
Anyone with information was asked to call Detective Efren Gutierrez with LAPD’s Mission Homicide Unit at 818- 838-9948.

Summary:
|
– A young Army veteran who had recently returned from Afghanistan was shot and killed while at a party—two days before Veterans Day. Though the Los Angeles Police Department initially reported that Francisco Garcia, 21, had returned to his Los Angeles home two weeks earlier and on Saturday attended a party thrown in his honor by his girlfriend, the story has since shifted. CBS LA reports there's no indication it was a homecoming party, and spoke with family members who say Garcia had been back in the US as long as four months. But what is clear is that as Garcia stood on the sidewalk in Sylmar around 2am yesterday, a man stepped out of an SUV, yelled at Garcia, and shot him with a handgun he retrieved from someone in a second vehicle, reports KTLA. Garcia died at the scene. "The ironies are obvious—to survive as a soldier in an overseas conflict only to be killed in your old neighborhood upon your return," LAPD Lt. Paul Vernon says. He adds that "it appears Francisco was the target of the attack. Apparently, a simmering dispute had boiled over during the night, and this suspect came looking for Francisco," though police don't think the occupants of the two cars had been at the party. "Figuring out the dispute should lead us to the shooter," Vernon says. Garcia wrote on Facebook last week that he'd just been accepted into the California Highway Patrol Academy. (This decorated Army veteran wasn't allowed to hang his jacket in a first-class closet on a US Airways flight.)
