denard span

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Keiunta Denard Span (born February 27, 1984 in Tampa, Florida) is a American Major League Baseball outfielder for the Minnesota Twins. [1]

Tampa Bay Rays’ Jason Bartlett puts the tag on Denard Span of the Minnesota Twins as he tried to steal second in the first inning. [...] In just over a year and a half in the big leagues, Span has cemented himself as the leadoff hitter and everyday center fielder for the Minnesota Twins, taking over the position once held by fan favorites Kirby Puckett and Torii Hunter.

In the first inning against the New York Yankees, Span took a late swing on the sixth pitch of the game and sent a line drive that hit his mother near the shoulder. [4]

In a shocking split-second, Span hit a hard foul ball that struck his mom in the upper chest Wednesday. [4]

Watching them come up, every year they’re among the youngest players in the league. [...] Eventually he emerged as one of the best defensive center fielders in the game and a capable power hitter, qualities that earned him a $90-million contract from the Los Angeles Angels in 2008. [...] But even after a superb spring that season, he started in Triple-A while the Twins elected to go with Carlos Gomez, the young, exciting and erratic player acquired from the Mets in a trade for Johan Santana.

Five years after being drafted, Span was hitting just.267 for Triple-A Rochester and striking out more than twice as many times as he was drawing walks, not the kind of numbers expected of a leadoff hitter. [2]

phentermine

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Phentermine hydrochloride USP has the chemical name of α α Dimethylphenethylamine hydrochloride. [1]

Phentermine is used along with a doctor-approved, reduced-calorie diet, exercise, and behavior change program to help you lose weight. [2]

Phentermine is used, in combination with diet and exercise, to help you lose weight. [3]

Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and cardiac valvular disease have been reported in patients receiving a combination of phentermine and fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine. [4]

I began taking phentermine today to lose weight and took two halves of a 37.5 mg.(my previous diet dose). [5]

The rate of weight loss is greatest in the first week of therapy for both drug and placebo subjects and tends to decrease in succeeding weeks. [6]

DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Phentermine is a drug that suppresses appetite. [7]

The drug is for use only by excessively overweight individuals who have a condition-such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol-that could lead to serious medical problems. [8]

Doing so can destroy the long action of the drug and may increase side effects. [...] This medication is an appetite suppressant and belongs to a class of drugs called sympathomimetic amines. [2]

Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. [...] It usually is taken as a single daily dose in the morning or three times a day 30 minutes before meals. [3]

Because of its small molecular weight (149), this drug probably transfers readily and in significant quantity into human milk. [5]

To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. [2]

Adipex-P, an appetite suppressant, is prescribed for short-term use as part of an overall weight reduction program that also includes dieting, exercise, and counseling. [8]

giant isopod

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Looking like it just crawled out of a bad science fiction movie, the giant isopod is without a doubt one of the strangest creatures found in the deep sea. [1]

A giant isopod may be one of approximately nine species of large isopods (crustaceans related to the shrimp and crabs) in the genus Bathynomus. [2]

Eggs of the Giant Isopod are also giant, up to 13mm diameter (0.5 inches) and are brooded in a brood pouch above the stomach and internal organs. [3]

The giant isopod can grow to a length of over 16 inches, and has a hard shell that is divided into segments which makes it both strong and flexible - it can roll into a ball to protect its soft underside, similar to pill bugs found on land. [4]

Giant Isopods are deep sea creatures that scavenge at depths of 170m to depths or even 2200 meters. [...] The eggs that have been fertilized by the male Isopod will be stored in the marsupium for an unknown time and when the eggs hatch, then the miniature Isopods emerge from the marsupium as little clones. [5]

The Giant Isopod’s thoracic legs or pereiopods are arranged in seven pairs, the first of which are modified into maxillipeds to manipulate and bring food to the four sets of jaws. [3]

The enormous size of the giant isopod is a result of a phenomenon known as deep sea gigantism. [1]

Giant Isopods are important scavengers in the deep-sea environment; they are found at a depth of 170 meters (560 ft) to the pitch darkness of 2,140 meters (7,020 ft), where pressures are high and temperatures are very low ‘ down to about 4 ?C (39 ?F). [3]

It is a carnivorous crustacean that spends its time scavenging the deep ocean floor. [6]

The uniramous thoracic legs or pereiopods are arranged in seven pairs, the first of which are modified into maxillipeds to manipulate and bring food to the four sets of jaws. [2]

It is supposed that our giant friend crawls on the bottom looking for dead fishes and slow moving animals such as sea stars. [6]

The Giant Isopod, Bathynomus giganteus, is the largest member of the isopod family, a group of crustaceans closely related to shrimps and crabs. [4]

Because light is extremely faint in the deep sea, the giant isopod has developed large antennae to help it feel its way around as it crawls along the ocean floor. [1]

Most of the species are rarely larger than 1 cm, but, regarding body length, one species is steets ahead of them all. [6]
