The deafening roar of the crowd, the smell of hotdogs and fresh cut grass, the first notes of the national anthem - they all mean one thing - baseball! With the 2013 Major League Baseball season just barely underway, and Yankees tickets and Dodgers tickets hardly staying in stock, the questions of what to watch for and what will set this season apart from the rest are really starting to bubble to the surface. Who is the rookie to watch? Which teams have the right line up? Which tickets are going to sell out first?
When it comes to preseason (or even early season) predictions, even the experts are all over the map. Typically the sports analysts in Maryland will make a prediction that has people out scooping up Orioles tickets, and the experts in Atlanta take a look in their crystal ball that has their constituency getting their mitts on Braves tickets. In the end, getting the most out of the 2013 MLB season has less to do with knowing what will happen, and more to do with being there when it happens.
Every great baseball story starts, "I remember when I saw . . .," not "I remember when I read in the sports column the next day that . . ." This is history in the making, and we want to be there as it happens. The truth is, no one knows what will happen this year. Not one person has a reasonable idea of who is going to win big, and who is going to show the world that they should have retired last year. This season isn't about crazy hat day at the ball park. It's not about buying stock in the team that will help you retire. This season is about calling in sick to work and scoring some Padres tickets, or some Cubs tickets or whatever-the-home-team-is tickets, and throwing back a cold one with your best buds and a million screaming strangers. Because this is America, damn it! And we like screaming with our best buds and people we don't know.
Now is the time to change from being an arm-chair umpire to being a stadium-seat umpire. You need to know first-hand that a beer at the park is worth two on the couch - and you could have two at the park, anyway. This season, the only expert that matters is you. You make the preseason, mid-season, and meaningless post-season predictions. You decide who the rookie of the year should be. You decide who the player to watch will be, and what games you just have to be there to experience for yourself. This season, the difference is you.
So, when your neighbor asks you if you're coming over to his place to watch the game, and your wife asks you when you're cutting the grass, and your mom asks when she's going to get a visit - tell them next weekend -- because this weekend, you're going to the game!

Being pregnant is a rollercoaster ride of emotional and life changes. Going through biological, physiological as well as psychological changes, the responsibilities of a pregnant working woman skyrocket even further. Dealing with home and work issues, as well as managing mood swings and pregnancy-induced pains is not at all easy. But the good news is that you have many ways to enjoy working and pregnancy together, thus creating a perfect wok-life balance. Here are some of the suggestions, which can help you to not only manage work, but also alleviate the problems you face working while being pregnant. Informing your employer about your pregnancy is important! If you are planning to stop working after your baby arrives, inform your employee beforehand so that they can find a replacement for you, and help you to manage the important tasks and projects before you leave. Make sure that you break this news to your employer by yourself, and he doesn't have to hear this from the horse's mouth. This would sound extremely unprofessional. Act and behave responsibly, your employer will also understand your situation and wont force you to work for long hours or will assign you tedious tasks. Most women can continue working during pregnancy. Some do it until the day the baby arrives, while some have to opt for staying at home, as the health sometimes doesn't allow them to work for extended hours. Working during pregnancy can present some challenges. Learning not to take risks and stay comfortable can help you have a healthy pregnancy in the workplace. You may feel more tired than usual, particularly in the early and late pregnancy. To combat fatigue and have energy all day: Take frequent breaks; get up and walk a few minutes or try to sleep a short power nap.Go to bed early the night to rest as much as possible.Exercise whenever you can; this will help you have more energy during the day.Drink plenty of fluids.Eat a healthy diet, as working will put a lot of stress on your body.Relax and avoid stressful situations if possible. 4. Exposure to Hazardous Substances It is important that the environment around you is safe for you and your baby. Talk to your health care professional if you are working with: Metals (such as mercury or lead)Products containing many chemicals (such as certain cleaning solutions, pesticides or gas)Radioactive waste, radiation or other hazardous substances (such as drugs for cancer treatment or X-rays) Contact with such materials without appropriate protective equipment (gloves, gowns and masks) can cause birth defects, spontaneous abortion or other serious health problems. Describe the health care professional who treats your work environment and the safety equipment that you or your company uses. The professional can tell you if it is safe to continue working during pregnancy. Also, talk with your health care professional if you work in a place of extreme heat. Working in very hot places can raise body temperature. If your body temperature is too high, it can be dangerous for the baby. Pregnant women and their babies are more likely to be susceptible to infections around them. If you are working in a lab or a healthcare facility, make sure you are protecting yourself in the best possible manner. Some of the diseases such as chicken pox, measles or influenza can be very harmful during pregnancy. Be sure to wash your hands frequently. If you think your health and your baby are at risk, immediately speak to your health care professional. Some jobs may require more physical effort than others may. For example, if your work involves heavy lifting or climbing, it may be dangerous. The problems aggravate if you have nausea, fatigue and dizziness in early pregnancy. Later in pregnancy, carrying extra weight can alter your sense of balance and make it more likely to fall and get hurt. Talk to your employer about the possibility of doing other work while pregnant. 9. Using Computers and Desktops Most of the jobs today involve the use of computers and sitting at a desk for much of the day. Some women who do those jobs may feel discomfort in the wrists and hands, neck and shoulder pain, back pain as well as eyestrain. To help avoid these pains, follow these tips: Take short breaks frequently and walk around the office or building.Adjust the chair, keyboard and other office equipment to make them more comfortable to use.Use a cushion or small pillow for support at the waist.Keep your feet elevated using a footrest.Make sure the position of the hands and arms is correct to use the computer.Use a non-reflective cover glass on the computer monitor.Adjust the brightness and contrast controls of the computer that is comfortable for the eyes. Talk to your healthcare professional before taking decisions of travel to faraway places. Ask if travel during pregnancy is risky for you by any chance. Also consider the place to travel. Remember to bring a copy of your medical history in case of emergency.Find out what kind of medical care will be available and if your health insurance covers medical services.See if food and water are safe at your workplace.Ask your health care professional if you should be vaccinated before traveling, if in case you have to!Have a happy and healthy pregnancy!
