Philippe BroadARIS,
22 September 1997 -
If you were looking for a synonym for "seafood",
you might say Le Divellec. At 64, this chubby, blue-eyed Breton is the
proud owner of a Michelin 2-Star flagship restaurant moored on the
Esplanade des Invalides in Paris, and has recently bought back his
former restaurant on the harbour at La Rochelle, which launched his
career. A workaholic, Le Divellec also oversees two
franchised restaurants: the Michelin 2-star, Le Sea Grill - Jacques Le
Divellec in Brussels, and the recently opened La Cocina del Mar in
Madrid. Further franchising plans exist but are held secret. His sixth
book, Le Régime de la Mer (Staying Trim with Seafood)
has just been launched by Hachette, and his love of organising Seafood
Festivals around the world had him cooking for yachtsman at Cowes on
the Isle of Wight in July. He will also help set up a French hotel
school in Vietnam when French-speaking nations assemble there this
fall for their annual conference. Le Divellec's fascination
for the sea dates from earliest childhood. Although born in Paris, the
family moved to La Rochelle on the Atlantic coast when he was three.
Holidays were invariably spent at the grandparents' home on the Ile
aux Moines (Isle of Monks), a small island off Brittany. Le Divellec
recalls endlessly roaming the beaches and coves, or going fishing with
his grandfather who was a professional sailor. During the school-term
in La Rochelle, he often looked by the fish-wharf on his way to school
to see what the fishermen had brought in. The sea and its creatures
were soon to hold no secrets for him, and his mother's and
grandmother's, passion for preparing anything edible he could catch
did the rest. At 15 his mind was set and he opted for hotel
school. After a few stints in hotel kitchens learning to work in a
brigade, he did his military service as a chef in the Navy. As
with many French chefs, this was the real start to his career. Aboard,
they like good food! Grounded, he was posted as chef to Marshall Juin.
The next two years were spent at Paris' Grand Vefour, learning
everything that Raymond Oliver could teach him---until the sea
beckoned again. In 1958, the twenty-six-year-old Le Devellec
opened his first bistrot-restaurant, Le Chat Noir, on the harbour at
La Rochelle and within four years earned his first Michelin star. In
1973 Le Chat Noir became a comfortable hotel and restaurant rebaptised
Le Yachtman. By 1983 fame and heavy pressure from friends lured him
away from the sea to set up in Paris. Within walking distance of the
French National Assembly, Ministries and the Elysée Palace, the
restaurant soon became one of Paris' smartest "canteens" for
politicians, diplomats and local lobbyists.Here he is Chef
(in French, aptly both "Boss" and "Cook"). When he
is not directing his kitchens, he works from a small office behind the
restaurant piled high with books on the sea and its riches, including
his own volumes. Two wall-boards abound with photos of celebrity
patrons, from international film stars to well-known political
figures, including Presidents Mitterrand and Chirac. The telephone
rings constantly with requests for special events in France and
abroad. A harried assistant interrupts with questions like, "Chef,
what are we going to do? A man has just booked a table for the third
time this week and we haven't changed the menu!". "Tell the
kitchen to be creative", replies Chef. Like all good
ships' masters, Le Divellec knows how to delegate to take in other
activities. In the restaurant, the ubiquitous Madame Le Divellec
ensures that everything runs like clockwork. "In the kitchens, I
have two second chefs, not just one---two", insists Le Divellec. "This
means I can get away". Over the last 30 years, Le Divellec has
travelled the world to discover what abounds in the oceans elsewhere
or to teach what he himself has learned. A favourite pastime is
Seafood Festivals. "We take over a restaurant in a top-flight
hotel in a major city for two or three weeks and prepare French
cuisine using local seafoods", says Le Divellec. "We have
worked for years with Hiltons and other hotels throughout the Far
East, as well as in Canada and the United States. People love it, and
you pick up a lot, too". When asked about spare time,
Le Divellec jokes that he works most of it managing his four
restaurants or preparing new books. Trips to Brussels, Madrid or La
Rochelle are usually made at week-ends so as to be in Paris during the
week days when his most influential clients are present. His
co-authors and publishers are also more easily available on these
days. Books are written in partnership with food-writers or
diet specialists. "I write myself and dictate recipes into my
machine. My co-author completes this with research and polishes the
copy. I wrote my first book, La Cuisine de la Mer, with Céline
Vence while still at La Rochelle. Céline is one of France's
finest and most knowledgeable food-writers. She is an absolute
stickler for detail. It has become a work of reference for all hotel
and cooking schools". Published in France in 1981 (Robert
Laffont), the book was to be a great succes in Japan two years later
when the Paris restaurant opened. It has seen a steady flow of
Japanese patrons ever since.The latest title, Le Régime
de la Mer, is a project that took years to put together.
Co-authored by pharmacist and dietician, Yvette Pécau, it
contains some 180 recipes from Cod's head consommé at
40 kcals to Ailloli (a delicious dish from southern France of
salted cod and garlic mayonnaise) at 595 kcals per portion. Cookbook
fanatics and diet enthusiasts should find it a bargain at Frs 95.Despite
the fact that he caters mainly for those with a comfortable bank
account, the man himself retains the simple likes of his childhood
days. A working lunch among friends is more likely to be a fricasée
of cockles and clams with pasta than lobster. Le Divellec's books
reflect this outlook with recipes for every purse. As a
parting question, I asked Le Divellec how he saw his personal
contribution to the cuisine of the sea: "Defending
the cuisine of the sea, promoting its products and teaching
people about seafoods. I am highly critical about a lot of what goes
on still. Eating fresh fish is essential. That is why only two types
of fishing should be considered. Coastal fishing where the fish is
sold within 48 hours of being caught, or deep-sea fishing where the
catch is frozen immediately. I would also like to see a legal
difference made between wild and farmed fish so that people know what
they're eating. We also need to widen the choice. There are some 300
edible species in French coastal waters and we only eat about 20 of
them. That will be a topic for a future book, De la Piballe à
la Baleine (From Tiddlers to Whales), describing the varities
commonly found around the main fishing ports. This October my next
book giving some 280 recipes with 130 photos, Le Poisson en
Majuscule, will be published by Solar. Shortly, I hope to start
publishing recipes on the Internet....." We got cut off
by yet another in-coming call. Le Divellec 107, rue de

AUGUSTA/SANFORD — State Representative Andrea Boland, of Sanford, will continue to serve on the legislature's State and Local Government Committee and Government Oversight Committee.
She also will continue her work on the "security of the electric grid, awareness of the health, safety and security threats of cell phones and wireless smart grid technology, especially to children, elderly, and the sick, and smarter health care through a serious focus on supporting healthy alternatives to high cost pharmaceutical consumption and medical procedures when they can be avoided," she stated in a recent press release. Boland added that she considers these issues key threats to economic, environmental, financial, and personal health.
Voters reelected Boland to represent District 142 during the election on Nov. 6.
Boland recently returned from a summit in Washington, D.C., that focused on "High-Impact Threats to Critical Infrastructure." During the summit, Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul Stockton and others emphasized the need to act to generate power and control it locally to protect against the long-term collapse of the grid from major solar storms and man-made terrorist devices.
"Congress and state legislatures are not responding to the challenge, and utilities are resistant to act at all," Boland stated in her news release.
Boland was a U.S. delegate to an international infrastructure summit in London in May.
"While grid collapse is a global concern, the U.S. is the most vulnerable country in the world," she said.
Boland added that she plans to present legislation on the issue this year, but promotes citizens engagement as the best chance for success and survival.
"In this time of remembering, I think of the gentle people of Sanford, and thank you for the kind integrity and trust you've shown me, which I'll continue to defend and honor in Augusta," Boland said. "The Government Oversight Committee gives me special opportunities to focus on effectiveness, transparency and accountability in government and government-related industry. In all things, I'll focus on defending us — families, individuals, small businesses — against the powerful special interests that threaten democratic process and our well-being and opportunities."

It is important to be aware that children can have high cholesterol. In fact, studies show strong evidence that atherosclerosis (the plaque that builds up in artery walls) actually begins during childhood. This is especially true when one or both parents have a history of high cholesterol or heart disease.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (Pediatric Nutrition Handbook 5th Edition, 2004), children and teens should have their blood cholesterol checked if they have a parent or grandparent who had a stroke or heart attack, a positive coronary angiogram, or peripheral vascular disease before age 55.
Any child over age 2 who has a parent with a total cholesterol of 240 mg/dL or more should have a random total cholesterol test. (This means they should have a non-fasting blood test at any time of the day.) If the child's random total cholesterol is over 170 mg/dL, the child should have further blood tests within about 2 weeks. Treatment and the frequency of repeat testing depends on the initial test results, but all children in such situations should have a cholesterol test at least every 5 years.
Childhood cholesterol levels were not well-established until fairly recently. Experts now believe that high cholesterol in children may be common. The following chart indicates when cholesterol levels are considered high in children:
It requires more than one measurement to categorize the cholesterol level as borderline or high for a child. If a child has high cholesterol, then the doctor rules out other causes such as thyroid, liver, or kidney diseases. If no underlying cause is found, then, similar to adults, making lifestyle changes is key. This is an important first step, even if other treatments are also necessary.
When children with high cholesterol make lifestyle changes, they reduce their risk of having high cholesterol and heart disease in adulthood.
Until your child is 2 years old, the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that their diet rely primarily on:
Children under 2 should also eat low amounts of saturated fats, trans-fatty acids, and cholesterol.
To make sure your child has a healthy diet, you should:
Regular exercise is important for children and helps improve cholesterol levels. Families should try to incorporate exercise into their daily lives. Walking, biking, running, and swimming are just some of the activities that families can do together.
In general, lifestyle changes will be tried for at least 6 - 12 months before medication is considered for children. Your child's blood cholesterol levels will be closely monitored during that time. If their LDL cholesterol level remains high, there is a family history of heart disease, and your child is over 10 years old, medication may be necessary in addition to lifestyle changes.

EPA Highlights Recycling Efforts on America Recycles Day
Release Date: 11/15/2011
Contact Information: Stacy Kika, email@example.com, 202-564-0906, 202-564-4355
WASHINGTON – Today, November 15th, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) commemorates the 14th annual America Recycles Day by recognizing the progress made in recycling our country's waste and the work yet to be done. EPA estimates that Americans generated 250 million tons of municipal waste in 2010, of which approximately 34 percent was recycled or composted. While this represents progress, it also shows that there is great opportunity for our nation to better manage natural resources that are too often disposed of in landfills. Recycling and other sustainable management practices protect our environment and strengthen our economy.
"Conserving our natural resources is a critical part of ensuring a strong economic and environmental future," said Mathy Stanislaus, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. "A sustainable approach to managing materials will maximize the use, reuse and recycling of valuable resources, providing both environmental and economic benefits."
The U.S. disposes enough trash each day to fill 50,000 garbage trucks with 18,000 pounds of trash in each. By reducing, reusing, and recycling, the U.S. can put resources back into productive use, rather than disposing of them. Recycling just one cell phone saves enough energy to power a laptop for 44 hours. Recycling is not the only avenue, adopting sustainable materials management practices can also help minimize waste and help our country conserve energy.
Sustainable materials management examines the life cycle of materials and products to identify opportunities to consume fewer natural resources, decrease the waste going to landfills, and create economic opportunities. There are a wide variety of sustainable materials management practices, including designing products that use fewer toxic constituents, reusing products, composting organic materials and recycling.
EPA and other federal agencies are not only encouraging Americans to adopt sustainable materials management practices, the federal government is leading by example. In July, a federal task force led by EPA, CEQ and GSA released a National Strategy for Electronics Stewardship – a strategy for the responsible electronic design, purchasing, management and recycling that will promote the burgeoning electronics recycling market and jobs of the future here at home. Additionally, through the Federal Green Challenge, EPA has challenged other federal agencies to reduce their own environmental impact through more sustainable practices by pledging a reduction goal of at least 5 percent per year in two of six focus areas: waste, electronics, purchasing, energy, water and transportation.
This America Recycles Day take the opportunity to learn more about how you can help protect the environment and conserve natural resources.

Carriage House
Bed & Breakfast
Welcome to the Carriage House, Minnesota's oldest single-owner Bed & Breakfast, established in 1986. Built in 1870, we are located in the center of historic Winona, Minnesota, nestled between the majestic bluffs and the mighty Mississippi River. Our guests have the most convenient access to many parks like Whitewater State Park, Perrot State Park, and Frontenac State park. The Carriage House is only two hours away from Minneapolis with many fun places to visit there like the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the Science Museum of Minnesota.

Our History
Born in 1836 in Hesse-Cassel, Kingdom of Prussia, Conrad Bohn immigrated to the United States in 1851, living first in the cities of New York and Chicago before settling in Winona and establishing himself as a carpenter and builder. These trades blossomed into a planing and contracting business in 1866 when he built his first mill which prepared sash and trim work on the corner of Main and Sanborn streets ushering Mr. Bohn into the role of one of Winona's thriving lumber barons. He later moved his business to the corner of Front and Laird Streets establishing a first-class operation employing 125 men.
In 1870, Conrad Bohn built his elegant Winona home for his second wife, Anna, and their growing family with proof of his fine sash work evident in several rooms of this executive home. Along with a grand three-story Carriage House large enough to accommodate six carriages, several horses, a second floor hay loft, and rooms for stable boys, the old Carriage House stands today as a pleasant reminder of a bygone era.
During his 24 years in the contracting business, Mr. Bohn built several prominent structures, the most memorable being the main building of the State Normal School directly across the street from his home. This site, now known as Winona State University, has supported the career of Economics Professor Donald Salyards who, most fittingly, is also the owner of Bohn's magnificent home.
In 1986, the grand carriage house, Winona's largest remaining Victorian structure of its kind, was renovated into a guest house to accommodate four charming guest rooms with baths en suite. Former stable boy rooms and the old hay loft now boast jacuzzi tubs and gas fireplaces, a section of the old stable transformed into a light and airy four season porch. Both the main house and guest house are recognized by the Winona County Heritage Preservation Commission.
We know entrepreneur Conrad Bohn would, indeed, smile with delight at these unique innovations. And so will you.

For other NFL teams, Aaron Rodgers' six-touchdown performance Sunday night perhaps shouldn't be the part that concerns them most.
Such that he didn't previously, the Packers quarterback has his edge back, and that makes his team dangerous.
From his post-game message to critics through NBC's Michele Tafoya ("Sshhhhh"), it was evident that Rodgers took the Packers slow start, and the criticism thereof, personally.
"I ain't never seen him that focused. He was extremely focused today. You could see it in his eyes. You could see it when he talked to us," Packers wide receiver James Jones said via Jason Wilde of ESPNMilwaukee.com.
"You know, he calls us up before every game, and he was just like, 'I'm going to be the lead dog. Follow me. I'm going to make some plays. I haven't been playing that well. I'm going to make some plays.'"
There's a bit of revisionist history at work on Rodgers part, as he wasn't exactly Brady Quinn the first five weeks. He did throw 10 touchdowns and had a passer rating of 97.0.
But whether the criticism he used as fuel was real or imagined, and whether that makes him a little touchy, it worked.
"Of course, I heard it," Rodgers said. "It wasn't like I paid a lot of attention to it, but people, whether it's good stuff or bad stuff, friends of mine, they like to tell me what's being said out there. I'm not somebody that watches a ton of TV or puts a whole lot of worth into some of those comments, but I feel like I've always played with a chip on my shoulder. It helps when people give me a reason to have that chip."
He and all his teammates played as if they had something to prove, and now they're back to 3-3, perhaps not coincidentally the same record they had after six games in 2010, when they went onto win the Super Bowl.
"I said it this week: There's not any quit in that locker room," Rodgers said. "It's almost better when people are doubting us a little bit, I think, and we kind of band together.
"People tried to pull us apart this week and we stuck together and found our motivation within."
That's the scary part, that they feel like they have something to prove now.

I don't understand. Kobe and other players have played through injury. I understand that tendonitis hurts, but does anyone know if it is really this debilitating? If not, then this confirmed any discussion of a 'soft' factor.
Tendinitis hurts like [expletive] man, I can only imagine what it feels like for a 7' 250-60 pound 30 something year old.
I'm not saying Pau isn't soft, but its best you let it flare out.

Welcome to Quarteira Uncovered! Your guide to holidays in Quarteira in central Algarve, Portugal. For tourist information about the resort of Quarteira, its beaches, hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, things to do and in fact, all things Quarteira Uncovered!
As a place of settlement, the area of Quarteira dates back at least to Roman times. King D. Dinis granted Quarteira its charter on 15th November 1297 and it became a city in 1999. From a simple fishing village, Quarteira has become one of the major tourist centres in the Algarve, famous for its golden beaches, its high quality fish and for its woods of stone pine.
Quarteira has seen a lot of development in recent years, leaving it characteristically high-rise in and around the town. Quarteira has still, however, managed to retain its Portuguese character and is particularly popular with Portuguese holidaymakers. The best part is the lovely palm-lined promenade, Avenida Infante de Sagres, known as the "Marginal", where you can spend time relaxing with lovely walks along the seafront and on the outdoor terraces of cafés and bars all around.
Quarteira Beach is beautiful and rock-free and there are plenty of eating places with the Avenida Infante de Sagres running along behind it, which you can call on for refreshments. Quarteira still boasts a local fishing community and the fishermen can be seen at work at the western end of the beach. The catches are sold at the nearby fish market early in the morning and will end up on your plate for lunch or dinner the same day.
Quarteira offers a huge range of culinary delights, with the emphasis, of course, on the beautifully fresh fish and shellfish dishes such as grilled sardines, "cataplanas", "caldeirada" (a kind of fish stew) and prawns, to name but a few.
Quarteira really is an ideal resort for a family holiday - apartments and hotels line the sea front so have fabulous views and easy access to the gorgeous beach and all the restaurants and cafés that line the Marginal. The long sandy beach is ideal for children and the water here is calmed by a series of breakwaters, giving safer swimming conditions.
There are plenty of things to do around Quarteira if you've had enough of the beach! It is in the centre of some of the best golf courses in the Algarve - you could play a different course every day without travelling very far. For the energetic members of the family there are water parks, water sports of all kinds, karting, bowling, tennis and horse riding all close to hand.
Every Wednesday Quarteira has a big gypsy market that attracts visitors from all over the Algarve, so if you like to spot a bargain then this is for you!
If you prefer quieter activities take a leisurely stroll to Vilamoura along the beach front (it isn't far at all) and take in the sights at the marina! Apart from the extremely large, and no doubt hugely expensive, yachts floating on the water, there are plenty of shops to browse in and luckily, an equal number of places to stop for a cool drink! It will probably take you longer to walk around the marina than to walk from Quarteira but if you are still feeling engergetic, the beach (Falésia) at the western side of Vilamoura marina carries on all the way to Olhos de Água next door to Albufeira!
An easier way to see around Vilamoura is to get on the tourist train that trundles around the resort and one of the pick up points is in the car park behind Praia da Marina - the adjoining beach to Quarteira Beach ('Praia de Quarteira').
As you won't be far from Faro, a day exploring the capital of the Algarve is a good day out (if you are not hiring a car, then a bus is only a few euros). The marina is nowhere near the size of Vilamoura (nor are the boats!) but Faro also has history, interesting buildings, paved squares with pavement cafés and, of course, shops. The old walled city ('Cidade Velha') with the 13th century Cathedral and the narrow cobbled streets; the 'tesouro' (pyramid) roofs on the Bishop's palace; the view from the Cathedral tower over the city and the Ria Formosa - are not to be missed and is all in a very compact area close to the bus station so not very much walking is involved.
A ferry trip to Farol Island (Ilha de Farol) - the sandspit island nearest to Faro, takes about 35 minutes through the Ria Formosa and apart from seeing the ilha, the trip itself is very enjoyable as the boat chugs it's way through the channels and lagoons. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the view!
If all you want to do is relax, enjoy the sunshine, the beach and dinner at a restaurant at night, then Quarteira has everything you need! It is also an ideal resort for people with limited mobility with it's long, level promenade, easy beach access and all facilities within easy reach.
Thank you for visiting QuarteiraUncovered.com and we hope you enjoy our website!

Blizzard says that their instant level 90 service was not priced to maximize profit by selling the maximum number of character upgrades. These economic arguments feel like an oversimplification of what's going on here.
First, some numbers and context. World of Warcraft's instant level 90 (the current level cap, soon to be the entry level for the next expansion) service was obviously going to be available for direct purchase, and this week we learned that the price tag would be $60. This is not quite the maximum possible price they could have charged - that would have been $75-95 - but it's pretty close.
($10 for a new copy of WoW to register to your existing Battle.net account, $40 for the new expansion and the instant level 90, $25 to transfer that new character over within your Battle.net account so you can cancel the new subscription. I'm not sure if you will need to purchase Pandaria before you can buy Warlords for the level 90, thus the possible extra $20.)
Why are we playing again?
Blizzard's comment has two interesting pieces. First, they assert that they are protecting the value of having leveled the old fashioned way, claiming that no one would level anymore if the service cost only a nominal fee (such as $10). This seems like an overly economic look at time spent playing a video game. Economics would argue that you have to be very poor before it makes sense to grind for 60-100 hours to save $10, in the process probably paying at least one $15 subscription fee.
The problem with this argument is that obtaining the end reward - a max level character - is not the only reason for playing the game. Many people who choose to level a new character will do so because playing that character is fun. When EQ2 offered a similar service COMPLETELY FREE as an introductory promotion, I went back and forth on whether to use the thing at all, and ultimately clicked the upgrade button on a crafting alt that I don't think I've even logged into since. There's no point in paying to get out of leveling the character - I just won't play it at all.
So who will pay?
Charging the folks who need the service
These services exist and make sense because that leveling game - generally a solo experience for a variety of reasons I discussed when talking about the EQ2 service - is not for everyone. If the reason you want a new character is to play that character in a group with your friends, the experience of playing the game is no longer part of your entertainment. There may be some people who come back and don't want to see any of the old content for any reason (they will get one level 90 with the expansion box), but the primary reason to need an instant level 90 is to remove this entry barrier.
Which brings us back to Blizzard's statement that the service is not set at the price that will maximize profit by selling the most upgrades. $60 is high enough to discourage impulse purchases and might discourage players from bumping up multiple alts (bearing in mind that basically all active WoW players will pay for one of these upgrades with the expansion box). My question is whether the decreased number of sales will be largely offset by the higher sale price. People who have invested hundreds of hours in raiding and plan to continue to do so are going to purchase the upgrades whether they cost $10 or $60. Maximizing the revenue from these folks may end up outweighing the lost revenue from impulse purchasers.
Blizzard may have other reasons for wanting to discourage these upgrades - they make it easy to shed an unpopular identity, and they might hurt long-term retention by removing players' reason to play the game. I'm just not so convinced that their stated pricing economics is the true story behind this decision.

Demand for Instant WoW-90's

I think all these conversations about why Blizzard priced it the way they did miss the real reason. If level boost are that expensive then it adds value to the pre-order of WOD. My bet is the sales team is counting on the fact that value will drive pre-orders up and they'll make money. It's a game they can't lose. People will buy the pre-order for the better value and then if they want more revenue they can lower the cost later.

37 Percent
Continuing from the blog piece entitled "Your Home Birth is Not a Feminist Statement" by a research scientist "named" Isis, she makes this comment:
"Even more interesting, up to 37% of home births result in emergency transport to a hospital."
In Science-Based Medicine, the August 3, 2010 post by Harriet Hall, "Home Birth Safety," talks about the infamous Wax Study's contention that 37% primip homebirths transport to the hospital, saying:
"Having delivered a lot of babies myself and having seen normal low-risk deliveries turn to disaster in a heartbeat, I would never have considered having my own babies at home, and I would personally be very frightened to attend a home birth, especially if there was a 37% chance of it ending with a nerve-wracking rush to the hospital. I would rather see babies born within easy reach of a C-section and other lifesaving interventions."
To clarify what the Wax Study says:
"However, such investigations likely underestimate the risks associated with planned home birth, as up to 9% of parous (women with one previous delivery [presuming vaginal] and 37% of nulliparous (women who've never had a baby [presuming vaginal]) women intending home birth require intrapartum transfer to hospital."
Homebirth midwives move women to the hospital two ways: via transfer and via transport. I've been very careful to make the distinction and if the writers above would have, it would make things clearer for their readers. The Wax Study doesn't clarify which transfers are emergency and which are not, but they should have.
My definition of transfer is it's a get-in-the-car-and-head-to-the-hospital type of trip, whereas a transport is a call-the-ambulance,-it's-an-emergency (and not even necessarily a life and death emergency!) experience. Note the huge difference between the two? Life and death emergencies are rare even when transports might not be. I cannot imagine there being a 37% transport rate anywhere in the US.
To point out once again, if the Wax Study were exactly correct (and that's highly debatable, but not for me to do so as I am not a statistician), "up to 9%" of women who've had a baby before and "(up to) 37%... require intrapartum transfer to hospital." Looking at most bloggers and reporters around the Net, one would think the entirety of homebirthers in "first world" countries have a 37% emergency transport rate. Not true!
Even I, with a higher transfer/transport (combined) rate than many midwives (who report about a 10% transfer rate, with a 1% emergency transport rate) did not have "emergency transport(s) to a hospital" at 37%. I will acknowledge, however, that my combined transfers and transports fell in almost exact line with what the Wax Study; about 10% for multips and about 40% for primips. I can hear homebirth advocates gasping, but I feel vindicated by the statistics stated in the study/studies. Remember, some definitions of "intrapartum" include from one to four hours postpartum; the Wax Study does not state their definition of intrapartum, but seems to include several postpartum (post-placental delivery) indications for transfer/transport.
Before reviewing my own stats several months after closing my homebirth practice January 1 of this year, I felt that people's shock at the 37% was unwarranted. I would never have guessed my own rates would be that high, but thought, instead of being horrified by the number, midwives should be applauded for seeing the changes from low-risk to higher/high-risk in labor and immediately postpartum. Isn't that what a midwife is for? To assess the risk and move the woman to the hospital? Personally, I would love to believe there was a nearly 40% recognition of a woman's need to be in the hospital. That way, the hospital is not receiving what they so frequently call "train wrecks," but are seeing the women long before an absolute crisis occurs.
The 37% number is bandied about like it's a demonstration that that percentage of women should have been risked out of a home in the first place, but I see it as an acknowledgement that 37% of all women who start out low-risk might be transported during labor or the birth. I do not believe just because a woman moves to the hospital she automatically shifts to high risk. It merely says she has moved out of the realm of a straightforward homebirth. Hospitals are places for far more than emergencies.
(Some) Reasons women might transfer (in a car, unless mom requests ambulance) from home to hospital during labor (the types of situations the Wax Study would include… from my memory, then checked with my Standards of Care):
- Continuous vomiting
- Fever or even just the mom's temp increasing over time
- Prolonged rupture of membranes
- Abnormal bleeding
- Active HSV genital lesion
- Exhaustion
- Fear (of home/situation/gut instinct)
- Increasing blood pressure
- Prolonged labor
- Prolonged pushing
- Mal-position of the baby
- Thick meconium upon rupture of membranes
(Some) Reasons women might transport (in an emergency, via ambulance) from home to hospital (again, the types of transports the Wax Study would include):
(From the Medical Board of California's Standards of Care -)
- "Prolapsed umbilical cord
- Uncontrolled hemorrhage
- Preeclampsia or eclampsia
- Severe abdominal pain inconsistent with normal labor
- Chorioamnionitis
- Ominous fetal heart rate pattern or other manifestation of fetal distress
- Seizures or unconsciousness in mother
- Evidence of maternal shock
- Presentation not compatible with spontaneous vaginal delivery
- Any other condition or symptom which could threaten the life of the mother, fetus or neonate as assessed by the licensed midwife exercising ordinary skill or knowledge."
- Retained placenta or placental fragments
Two questionable intrapartum reasons from the Standards' list are "laceration requiring repair outside the scope of practice or practice policies of the individual midwife" and "neonate with unstable vital signs." I say questionable because they could be considered postpartum reasons versus intrapartum reasons, depending on whose definition you're using.
Can I tell you how many times I (and others) have transferred for something that resolved mid-trip and the thought, "We could have stayed home after all!"? My mantra for transferring/transporting to the hospital is: I'd rather be told "You didn't need to come in," than "Why the hell didn't you come in sooner?" While moving into the hospital can create hardship for the families, most specifically, financially, I hope they would rather be there and not need to be than staying at home and needing to be in the hospital. It's totally a judgment call… one that takes a great deal of experience to tell the difference. Even with experience, I know I erred on the side of caution. Too many midwives become complacent, thinking they know better than the law and don't transfer or transport for reasons they would expect another midwife to transfer/transport for. Yet, when someone has a bad outcome, interestingly, rates of getting a mom or baby to the hospital go up. What made the difference? Complacency went down.
One of the most common questions a midwife is asked during an interview is how often she transports. Instead of looking for a midwife who transports only a very few women a year, women must take her years of experience into consideration. I'd even go so far as to say the newer the midwife, the higher her transport rate should be. Unless she is meticulously within the understood limitations in most midwifery communities: no breeches, twins, older moms, VBACs, etc., her rate will be higher than a more seasoned midwife. Sure, the limitations are controversial, but they are there for a reason; they increase a woman's risk of moving out of the realm of normal, whether during pregnancy or the birth. With experience, the midwife might expand her competency in variations of such pregnancies. This, of course, begs the question: "Where will she get the experience if she's not doing them?" The answer is: "By attending births with midwives who have more experience," or even by being in the hospital where the safety net is standing by. On-the-job training is unacceptable for midwives.
And who wants to be the practice client for an inexperienced midwife, especially with a complicated pregnancy or with the upcoming birth? If you say, "Me," I worry about your motivations for a homebirth. If you say, "Not me!" I applaud you. I know I wouldn't let someone practice on my body or baby… without the supervision of a very experienced midwife.
Instead of being ashamed of higher rates of transfers and transports, I hope midwives will now be proud of their statistics because they can accurately demonstrate her appreciation for mid-labor, birth and postpartum movement from low-risk to higher-risk. Isn't that what we hire her for in the first place?

A multi-disciplinary conference hosted by the American Academy in Rome from 30 September-2 October 2010 will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1960 Rome Summer Olympics. The conference focuses on these Games as a cultural turning point, with a significance—for Italy, the United States, the Soviet Union, and many other countries—that far transcends the actual sporting events, where the level of competition was unusually high.
Collaborating with the AAR in this conference are the Centro Studi Americani and the British School at Rome. Organizing the conference is AAR Mellon Professor Corey Brennan. You can find the full announcement for this conference here: http://www.aarome.org?rt=blog&rid=188
Contributions are encouraged on a broad range of topics that touch upon the XVII Summer Olympics, going far beyond sports history to encompass fields such as cultural politics, urban planning, architectural history, and media studies. It is anticipated that there be twelve speakers in all, chosen by an American Academy committee in response to this international call for papers. The schedule will be designed to accommodate short film presentations and ample discussion, in addition to a site visit to various points in the city important to the history of the 1960 Games.
The selected speakers will receive basic expenses for their stay in Rome (travel, housing, some meals) for the period of this conference. It is expected that the proceedings of the conference will be published.
Abstracts to be considered for the conference may be up to 750 words in length. They must be submitted (with an accompanying CV) as a .pdf to email@example.com. Submitted abstracts should not substantially duplicate work that already has been published. The due date for submission of abstracts is 31 May 2010. Acceptance notification is 14 June 2010.
The 1960 Rome Summer Games were the Olympics of US track stars Rafer Johnson and Wilma Rudolph, as well as the boxer Cassius Clay; where the USSR powerfully asserted its dominance in women's gymnastics as did Italy in men's cycling; where the barefoot Ethiopian runner Abebe Bikila, just 25 years after the Italian invasion of his country, won the dramatic torchlit marathon competition that started at the Vittoriano, traversed the Appian Way, at long last passed the ancient Ethiopian Obelisk of Axum, and shortly afterward finished at the Arch of Constantine.
But the games also threw into high relief the Cold War tensions between West and East, friction between China and Taiwan, the civil rights crisis in the US, apartheid in South Africa, and anticolonial sentiment across a range of participating nations—as well as a host of newly emerging problems that ran the gamut from drug use by athletes to slippery running shoe endorsements. These topics have received a superb and highly readable recent treatment in David Maraniss' book Rome 1960 (Simon & Schuster 2008).
The topic of the conference also has much to do with memory, a theme to be explored for the ancient world at the AAR in the years 2011-2014. As Ann M. Keen has shown, one driving force in Rome's sponsorship of these Games, the first specifically staged for television, was to expunge the all-too-familiar searing images of the city from 1922- 1945. In all the Games saw almost 94 hours of television coverage for Europe.
To house the events, the Games' organizers adapted ancient ruins (Baths of Caracalla, Basilica of Maxentius), appropriated Fascist-era constructions (the Foro Italico complex, with its Stadio Olimpico), and built fresh several major venues. Chief among these are Pier Luigi Nervi's iconic Palazzo dello Sport (with Marcello Piacentini) and Palazzetto dello Sport (with Annibale Vitellozzi), and also the Villaggio Olimpico of Adalberto Libera, Luigi Moretti and others.
Plus much of Rome's infrastructure, from the water supply to roads, the airport system, and public transportation, saw a significant upgrade for the XVII Olympiad. The story of the post-event adaptation of structures used or built for the Olympics—such as the Foro Italico or Villaggio Olimpico—in itself is expected to be a crucial component of the conference, in both the paper sessions and site visit.
Monday 31 May 2010 due date for submission of abstracts to firstname.lastname@example.com
Monday 14 June 2010 acceptance notification
Thursday 30 September, Friday 1 October, Saturday 2 October 2010 dates of conference

Interviewed by Andy Hirsch
LEWISBURG, Pa. - Chris Ellis, assistant professor of political science, breaks down President Obama's convention speech and explains why we should expect the race to remain tight through Election Day.
Question: What did President Obama accomplish with his speech Thursday at the Democratic National Convention?
Answer: President Obama's speech had two main points of emphasis. The first was to try to reframe the election not as a referendum on his first term in office, but rather as a forward-looking choice of whether voters preferred his or Romney's plans for the country. This appeal was finely crafted to the very small portion of the electorate who is still undecided. These people are generally unhappy with the direction in which the country is headed, and they by and large do not see Obama as a successful president. But at the same time, they are also very skeptical of the Republican party's plans for the economy, and of Mitt Romney as a person. So unlike Romney, Obama very much tried to get voters to focus on the choice that they have to make between two competing candidates, rather than on their evaluations of Obama's job performance. Obama is much better off if the election is fought on the former terms than the latter ones.
The second, and more ideological point was trying to reorient voters to a different notion of what 'government' means. The Republican convention discussed government in a general and almost philosophical sense: as an obstacle to recovery and an impediment to free enterprise. Obama did not attempt to rebut Romney's argument on these terms. Instead, he talked much more specifically about the things that government does: the children it educates, the fires it fights, the streets it protects, and so on. This fits very clearly with what we know about how Democrats and Republicans talk about their policy plans: Republicans tend to talk in abstract ideas and concepts, while Democrats talk specific programmatic goals. The reason for this is simple: voters, perhaps paradoxically, dislike the idea of 'government' but are broadly supportive of most government programs.
Q: Some have said the Obama campaign lacks the energy and excitement that carried him to victory in 2008, especially among young voters. Can he recapture that "Yes we can" momentum he had four years ago?
A: I don't think he can, and I'm not sure he's even really trying. You noticed a bit of that in his speech, which was broadly effective, but not nearly as inspiring or optimistic as the Obama of old. There are many reasons for this reorientation in thinking. First, after being President for four tough economic years, it is just much harder to sound a cheery, optimistic note without also sounding tone-deaf to the problems that citizens are facing. This speech had a good bit of "hope," but also contained many more references to just how hard things are to fix and how much work it's going to take to make things better.
Second, the 2008 election was about as perfect a context for electing a Democratic president as we've ever seen. The economy was bad, the incumbent president was deeply unpopular, and the challenger did not offer much in the way of new ideas. People wanted change, and Obama was able to marshal this into a wide, energetic base of support. To their credit, Obama's team realized very early on that the tactics that worked in 2008 probably wouldn't work again in 2012. If he is to win re-election, he will have to do it the conventional way: raise a lot of money, throw red meat to core supporters to make sure they remain active, slog through a tough campaign season, and hope swing voters ultimately give him the benefit of the doubt.
Q: With both conventions behind us, what should we expect out of this race between now and November (much of the same, tighter, do you see one candidate opening up a lead)?
A: It's likely that Obama will get a convention bounce of some sort, but I don't think that it will be very large, and I don't see a scenario whether either candidate opens a substantial lead. This election has been by far the most stable in terms of voter preferences that we've seen since we started regularly polling elections back in the 1960s. Over the course of the campaign, the polls usually move back and forth a good bit - one candidate taking a lead for a while, then the lead growing, shrinking, or switching to the other candidate, and so on. Even Walter Mondale was ahead for a brief period in 1984. But Obama has held a very small, but very real, lead essentially since April.
This is in large part a function of the substantial polarization we've seen in American politics over the past few decades that has made it much more likely that voters clearly know who they prefer before the campaigns even really start. In the next couple of months, we'll see all sorts of things - debates, campaign events, the candidates and superPACs spending millions upon millions of dollars to get their message out - and none of it, in all likelihood, will move the needle very much. There just aren't that many voters left to persuade.
Q: What do you expect it will take to push one candidate over the edge and into the White House?
A: There are certainly some surprises that could come along the way - if the economic situation in Europe deteriorates, for example, that would be very bad for Obama's re-election hopes. And if the economy here pretty clearly heads in one direction or another, that will matter as well. But barring some of these things, it is going to be a matter of campaigns simply fine-tuning their messages enough to persuade or mobilize exactly the right people, at exactly the right time, that will make the difference.
The most important point is that the while the race is very stable, it is also very close. I think that there are four states that are worth watching most closely as we move forward: Ohio, Virginia, Florida, and Iowa. If Obama wins even one of these, he will in all likelihood win re-election. If he wins two, he almost certainly will. But if he loses them all, then his path is very, very difficult. And in each of these states, the polling average places the candidates within less than one percentage point of one another. So anything that changes the mind of even one voter in 100 could have enormous consequences.

The Employment Disconnect
CIOs gripe they canât find skilled workers; displaced IT pros complain they canât find decent jobs. How can both be right?
In the musical "Fiddler on the Roof," the protagonist Tevye listens to a fellow townsman's political argument, and says, "He's right." But when a stranger takes the opposite view, Tevye also responds, "He's right." "He's right and he's right," another villager says. "How can they both be right?" To which Tevye replies, "You know, you're also right."
That scene reminds me of a troubling development in IT: the employment disconnect. On one hand, IT employment is at record levels, reaching nearly 4 million workers in the last quarter, and CIOs gripe they can't find enough qualified people to fill business-technology positions.
On the other hand, many out-of-work or underemployed IT pros complain that they're highly qualified and experienced, yet can't find suitable jobs. They contend employers retain foreign nationals--whether here on H-1B or other visas or as offshore outsourcers--to save money rather than hire higher-priced Americans. "The need for the perfect candidate is just an excuse to hire H-1Bs," wrote one IT pro who participated in our online discussion on this topic.
Listening to their reckonings, I have to agree with Tevye: They're both right.
The crux of the problem could be a mismatch between what's being offered and what's being sought. Skills listed on some résumés posted on the IT job site Dice.com don't match the requirements employers list in their job offerings, says company senior vice president Tom Silver, who adds that employers are increasingly selective about hiring people with specific skills. Another participant in our online dialogue agrees: "The demand for new skills is on the rise; the demand for older skills is declining, and IT workers [with legacy skills] are being displaced."
It's a valid explanation, but not the complete story. Ample anecdotal evidence exists of veteran IT workers who can't find decent jobs. In our online discussion, a self-described "much maligned C-level IT manager" characterized the skills shortage as malarkey. Her company has outsourced tech jobs to India, estimating the annual employment costs of a "fully loaded" Indian developer at $12,000 versus $100,000 for a North American worker. "The options were: Outsource to cut costs or go out of business," she wrote.
Advocates for displaced IT pros claim the villain preventing them from getting well-paid jobs is the H-1B visa program, which allows employers to import 85,000 skilled foreign workers a year. An estimated 40 percent of those H-1B visa holders apply for IT jobs.
Assuming that percentage represents the number of IT pros coming to our shores, American firms hired some 33,000 visa holders for IT jobs during the past year--just under 10 percent of the 357,000 new IT jobs created. During the past year, according to CIO Insight's analysis of government jobs data, the number of unemployed IT workers rose by 17,000 to 97,000.
The federal government could cut back on visas and pass laws to discourage outsourcing. And U.S. businesses should do more to train veteran IT workers to develop the skills they need. But with so many American companies operating globally, coupled with the weak economy, the likelihood of this helping displaced IT workers is negligible.
I don't see an obvious solution to this disconnect. Do you?

Measurement Period: 2007-2011
learn more about the color range
The American Community Survey (ACS) is an annual nationwide survey designed to supplement the decennial census. The survey, based on the decennial census long form, produces population and housing information every year instead of every 10 years. Annual estimates of demographic, social, economic, and housing characteristics are available for geographic areas with a population of 65,000 or more. This includes the nation, all states, the District of Columbia, all congressional districts, approximately 800 counties, and 500 metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. Multi-year estimates are available for smaller geographic areas. During the demonstration stage (2000 to 2004), the U.S. Census Bureau carried out large-scale, nationwide surveys and produced reports for the nation, the states, and large geographic areas. The full implementation stage began in January 2005, with an annual housing unit (HU) sample of approximately 3 million addresses throughout the United States and 36,000 addresses in Puerto
Rico. In 2006 approximately 20,000 group quarters were added to the ACS so that the data
fully describe the characteristics of the population residing in geographic areas.Each year from 2005–2010, we selected approximately 2.9 million HU addresses in the U.S. and 36,000 HU addresses in Puerto Rico. Beginning in 2011, the following changes to the ACS sample designs were implemented:1)increased the housing unit sample in June 2011, bringing the size of the sample selected to 3.54 million addresses per year; 2)added several new housing unit sampling rates that better control the allocation of the sample and improve estimate reliability for small areas; 3)increased the follow-up sample to 100 percent in select geographic areas.

Slate's mistakes.
In a Nov. 21 "Holidays," Farhad Manjoo reversed a formula for determining the proper size of a TV based on its distance from the viewer's seat.
In a Nov. 20 "Future Tense" blog post, Fruzsina Eördögh incorrectly stated that the Time magazine list of the 100 most influential video games did not include any racing games. It included OutRun, a racing game that was first released in 1986.
In a Nov. 20 "Holidays," Miriam Krule and Noam Prywes wrote that Thanksgiving is the third Thursday in November. It is the fourth Thursday.
In a Nov. 20 "Politics," John Dickerson misidentified Sen. Ben Nelson as Bill Nelson.
In a Nov. 19 "Bad Astronomy," Phil Plait stated that sociology, linguistics, anthropology, and other sciences indicate that the Earth is billions of years old. Those sciences establish that Earth is much more than a few thousand years old, but other sciences established the precise age of the Earth. He also stated that Kappa Andromedae is 50 light-years away. It is 50 parsecs, or 170 light-years, away.
In a Nov. 19 "Jurisprudence," Emily Bazelon originally characterized a law at issue in Florida as involving voter ID. It involved early voting. She also misidentified civil rights activist Medgar Evers as Medgar Evans.
In a Nov. 19 "Moneybox" post, Matthew Yglesias misspelled Barnes & Noble.
In a Nov. 19 "Explainer," L.V. Anderson misspelled the last name of singer Cliff Richard.
In a Nov. 13 "Jurisprudence," Emily Bazelon identified Mike Reynolds as the father of Polly Klaas. Marc Klaas is the father of Polly Klaas, and Mike Reynolds is the father of an 18-year-old woman killed in 1992.

Continuing Roger Chadwicks fabulous Memories of Hyde....
My church bore the grandiose title of "the parish of St John the Baptist, Godley cum Newton Green"! I never found out where Newton Green was but assumed it was somewhere around Newton Station. Certainly Godley was a huge geographical parish and then included Hattersley and parts of Hoviley. The great excitement of the year was 0900 hrs at the Sheffield Road (Church) School on a Whit Friday. Huge banners, pretty little girls, a be-decked bible, Mothers Union members in blue veils, everyone in new Whit Walk clothes and the Church Lads Brigade resplendent in their smart uniforms and highly polished bugles. A procession of up to 100 people would set off led, by custom, every year, by The Dove Holes Prize Band. Choirboys were somewhere in the middle behind the Church Banner, the Churchwardens proudly bearing their staffs of office and the cheery rubicund Vicar, resplendent in choir robes, hood and mortar board or Canterbury Cap. His eyes were usually fixed on us because we were troublesome and he was always ready to pounce!
St John the Baptist, Godley
Our parish Walk was something of a marathon! We would pass through High Street and Fountain Street, down "Sammy Spit" and up Commercial Brow, back down towards Hyde and through Hoviley and into Clarendon Place. For some reason we never went into the market area with all the other processions. Then the fun would begin! Our route thence took us straight up the A57 (Mottram Rd), through Godley Arches and up Godley Hill Road to the War Memorial. Apparently, the police didn't like this tradition because we caused massive hold ups of local and commercial long distance traffic. But process we did and the choir lads, by adroit timing of the walk and surreptitious hand signals, could welcome angry motorists and sometimes an SHMD Decker into the procession! One brave lad decided to mount the rear platform of the bus on one such Walk and was hastily pushed off by the guard! All this caused mayhem and infuriated the Vicar but we loved it. All the way round, crowds would line the pavements of the parish and there was much banter and raillery on all sides. Our Godley Whit Walk took three hours to complete with numerous stops for "Deep Harmony"," Lloyd", "The Old Hundredth" (Hymn Tunes), prayers and readings. On Whit Friday afternoon, everyone, including the Bands, repaired to Farmer Osborne's field beside The Barmhouses for the Sports. (The usual Olympic style fare of sack/egg and spoon races and much else). By 1700 hrs we were home, worn out but happy!
Clarendon Place
The Church had a striking tower with a good peal of "bells"…. These wonderful "bells" consisted of a heavy 78rpm wax record in a gramophone in the Choir Vestry and it was the task of choir boys to reset the record every three minutes. This process usually lasted for a full fifteen minutes but we made sure that, if possible, the needle could be left playing at the centre of the disc. A hideous sound of magnified hissing and scratching would then fill the air of the parish until an irate Churchwarden or Sidesman would come in and ask "what the hell's goin' on?" I seem to remember that this record was called "Grand Sire Garters" from Westminster Abbey". It was a dreadful noise but caused us unforgettable merriment.
Sermons were quite long and the mosaic of the floor around the choir stalls was a good surface for "glass alleys" (marbles) which we could flirt across to lads on the other side. Wax sweet papers made good darts and we carved our names in the choir stalls. Once we were sent out for really bad behaviour but once chastised, it was soon forgotten. We sang two services on a Sunday, "murdered" anthems and sang Oratorios on Good Friday, even Stainer's 'Crucifixion' and Maunder's 'Olivet to Calvary'. The choir was raucous but enthusiastic. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Canon May guided several lads towards Ordination and I was one of them. In 1962 I wore the clerical collar for the first time and I can honestly say that over 37 years in the work I have always encouraged and joined in mischief and high spirits. It's all part of being a boy(and a man!) and in these days of political correctness it is something that they are missing. Some years ago I was at Evensong in York Minster and the choir lads were misbehaving terribly. In high spirits there was just no dealing with them.
Bad with silent laughter I thought to myself – "Oh aye! Been there! Done that !
Many Thanks again, Roger ! :)
Also, thanks to Carl Rogerson for use of the photo of St Johns.
