After many weeks of anticipation and preparation, your baby is here! Or maybe not — only 5% of women deliver on their estimated due dates, and many first-time mothers find themselves waiting up to 2 weeks after their due date for their baby to arrive.
A baby born at 40 weeks weighs, on average, about 7 pounds, 4 ounces (3,300 grams) and measures about 20 inches (51 cm). Don't expect your baby to look like the Gerber baby right off the bat — newborns often have heads temporarily misshapen from the birth canal and may be covered with vernix and blood. Your baby's skin may have skin discolorations, dry patches, and rashes — these many variations are completely normal.
Because of the presence of your hormones in your baby's system, your baby's genitals (scrotum in boys and labia in girls) may appear enlarged. Your baby, whether a boy or a girl, may even secrete milk from the tiny nipples. This should disappear in a few days and is completely normal.
Right after birth, your health care provider will suction mucus out of your baby's mouth and nose, and you'll hear that long-awaited first cry. Your baby may then be placed on your stomach, and the umbilical cord will be cut — often by the baby's dad, if he chooses to do the honors! A series of quick screening tests, such as the Apgar score, will be performed to assess your baby's responsiveness and vital signs, and he or she will be weighed and measured. If your pregnancy was high risk, or if a cesarean section was necessary, a neonatologist (a doctor who specializes in newborn intensive care) will be present at your delivery to take care of your baby right away. If your baby needs any special care to adjust to life outside the womb, it will be given — and then your newborn will be placed in your waiting arms.
This week you'll experience the moment you've been anticipating — your introduction to your baby! Before you can meet your baby, though, you have to go through labor and delivery. You may have learned about the three stages of birth in your prenatal classes. The first stage of labor works to thin and stretch your cervix by contracting your uterus at regular intervals. The second stage of labor is when you push your baby into the vaginal canal and out of your body. The third and final stage of labor is when you deliver the placenta.
If you don't go into labor within a week of your due date, your health care provider may recommend you receive a nonstress test, which monitors fetal heart rate and movement to be sure that the baby is receiving adequate oxygen and that the nervous system is responding. Talk to your health care provider to find out more about this test.
Sometimes mother nature may need a little coaxing. If your labor isn't progressing, or if your health or your baby's health requires it, your health care provider may induce labor by artificially rupturing the membranes or by administering the hormone oxytocin or other medications. If your pregnancy is high risk, or if there are any other potential complications, you may require a cesarean section delivery.
Some women know ahead of time that they will be delivering via cesarean section and are able to schedule their baby's "birth day" well in advance. If you're one of them, you've probably been able to prepare yourself emotionally and mentally for the birth — which can help to lessen the feelings of disappointment that many mothers who are unable to deliver vaginally experience. But even if you have to undergo a cesarean section that wasn't planned, rest assured that you'll still be able to bond with your baby. It might not be the birth experience you imagined, but your beautiful newborn has arrived nonetheless. The months of waiting are over!
Good luck with your baby!

It isn't every day that one makes preparations to go and play music for some friends but instead ends up being portrayed in the national press and on the Internet as some sort of antediluvian racist who should not be seen in the company of someone aspiring to the Senate. But that's what happened to me Tuesday.
You think you have odd days? Try this on: I have a fine country-rock combo called "Cooter's Garage Band," so named because I played "Cooter" the mechanic on the enduring TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard." (Down South, a "cooter" is a turtle.) We play all over the country and have performed from supermarket parking lots to the Grand Ol' Opry. On Tuesday we were heading to Washington, D.C., to play a fundraiser at a friend's house for Rep. Ed Markey, who is running for US Senate in Massachusetts.

Preview: NaturaLatex Tranquil by Natura
A Year in Bed
Bed: NaturaLatex Tranquil Mattress
Manufacturer: Natura
Retail Price: $1,399.99 for full set
Just last week we moved into our January bed, which is a great side by side comparison to last month's bed, the Sealy Embody. Both beds are latex foam based and spongy, but Natura is a green company that markets themselves as selling "natural sleep solutions." Accordingly, this bed came with all sorts of green bells and whistles, including a green tea & aloe fragrance mister and an Aloe Dream Mate Latex pillow.
I met Ralph Rossdeutscher, Natura's co-founder, at the Highpoint Furniture Market last spring and he was the one who gave me the idea for this whole Year in Bed. He challenged me by saying that he could definitely make me sleep better, if I tried one of his beds. He also impressed me with his devotion to finding green solutions in a category where materials and price point make it very challenging to go green.
Natura has MANY types of beds at many price points, and I asked to try one that would be a good fit for our readers. They recommended the Tranquil as being right in the middle of their line and not 100% green. It's a combination of 66% natural and green elements, coupled with non green elements for optimum comfort (100% organic foam can be very stiff). Their 100% organic beds get very expensive.
What Do We Think So Far?
Right away, Sara said she loved this bed best, which was a pretty strong and unusual start. It IS comfortable, and it does seem to achieve a nice, spongy, cozy supporting feeling WITHOUT being hot at all.
The Prediction?
While this bed does not have the big brand marketing or sexy look at feel of some of the other beds, I predict that this one will become a front runner after this month. Why? Because I like it already and Sara, who hasn't liked anything, loves it.
Do you sleep on a Natura Bed? If yes, please let me know in the comments how it's going for you.

Where are the colorful throw pillows on the bed from?
I sleep on a Natura and love it. I can't recall the exact model, it's not 100% organic, but is 100% latex. We also have an organic wool/cotton topper which gives a pillow top feel, and we added firming pads between the mattress and topper. It's great because if we ever want it to be firmer, or my husband would like his side less or more firm than me, we can easily adjust each half of the bed to suite the individual. My only complaint is that the topper doesn't fit the mattress exactly and can slide a little bit and sometimes hangs a bit over the edge of the mattress, but in the big picture it's no big deal. Oh, and the natural wool topper needs occassional attention (airing/beating), or else it can form hills and valleys where our bodies lie.
I don't get what's so green about a "green tea & aloe fragrance mister" -- wouldn't the greenest option be to not buy a product to spritz the air with?
I also don't really get why the marketing of these various mattresses needs to be part of the review (for example, the mention that this one lacks "big brand marketing"). I'm sure that sort of thing is of interest to marketing people, but to people who are not in that business and are just looking at mattresses . . . speaking for myself I couldn't care less. Is it really going to be much of a factor in you guys choosing a favorite? If yes, how come?
I have to disagree with the sentiment posted by anonniemuss. I do agree that I dislike the "mister" addition, though. To explain why I think that the marketing is important, I will definately use that aspect as part of my purchasing decisions. We are at the end of our current mattress's lifespan. When I choose my next one, comfort will be primary, but after that, price is critical. In addition, if the mattress and manufaturer uses green technology, that will definately pull me in that direction. better for my health, better for the planet, better for the new paradigm of manufacturing. Lastly, if the company an American owned company, employing American workers for good wages and benefits, supporting American communities, you better believe I'll support them over a large conglomerate that has it's manufacturing overseas!
Do you have to flip this mattress? Looking at the description on the website, it's not clear. I'm assuming that the mattress has springs....
i'm with you, redqueen! i actually have a very nice bed but am looking for mattresses (i want two twin xl) for what passes as the guest room. i have it in my head that i want latex, even though i've never slept on latex & i've certainly not been marketed to by traditional methods, which is part of the appeal. if they weren't so darned expensive, i'd order one of these right now, sight unseen. sigh.
redqueen, you listed a bunch of substantive choices to make about mattresses. I agree those choices are important and I wouldn't put them under the umbrella of "marketing." I mean, those are the sort of things marketing might make claims about. For example, whether or not a mattress is manufactured in the U.S. If it is, great, and that is a substantive choice to think about. But as to whether the company runs a "big" marketing campaign to say so, I don't see that as being interesting in and of its own right. I do think the review above makes the same distinction, and that is what I am questioning.
I bought an organic cotton mattress. I hated it. It was expensive and hard as a rock. So then I got an organic latex topper on top. I'ts wonderful. If I could have done it over, I would have went with a latex mattress.
krpete, those look a lot like Judy Ross pillows to me.
The marketing does matter. Because if it weren't for this article I would not have ever heard of this mattress.
There are so many mattress types out there (as this article has detailed) and we have seen so many ads for the memory foams beds that I start to wonder if a good part of their price tag is their never ending commercials.
We have had a Greensleep mattress, which is also organic natural latex and very similar, for several years now and really love it. We give our bed to my parents when they come visit and they think it's great too. We are thinking though about getting an all wool mattress for our guest bed that we are just setting up. It's also totally organic and a bit cheaper. Are you going to be trying one of the Shepherd's Dream all wool mattresses? I think they are based in California but not sure.
Thanks for the series. It's really great!
I bought that exact mattress (Natura Tranquil, but queen size and no boxspring) this fall. I've had it for three months and love it. Side sleeping, back sleeping and belly sleeping all with great support but not too much 'firmness'. I was hesitant about the 20 year guarantees, since the company hasn't been around that long, who knows how long the mattresses will really last. But I was determined to buy as green as I could afford. Oh, and I bought it in Canada. Similar price points here.
I have not tried the Natura Tranquil, but I do have a latex matress with an organic bamboo top and I have to say that it is the worst bed I have ever slept on. What I didn't know then but definitely know know that latex in numbered from the softest to to the firmest which I believe is at 50. We purchased a bed that was numbered at 42. It was like sleeping on a slab of concrete. I ordered a pillow top with a less firm latex and still it is just horrible. My back hurts everyday and I feel unrested. My point here is please educate yourself on Latex Mattresses. Yes they are great for allergies as they are hypoallergenic, organic, etc... But I would give up all of that for one good night sleep. Our bed in total cost us over $3000. It was a very expensive mistake.
I am happy to see a more eco-friendly mattress being tried out. We bought a natural mattress this summer after returning a very smelly off-gassing (and very expensive) petroleum based mattress.
*Redqueen: We wanted to go with a U.S. made mattress as well and ended up getting a WJ Southard mattress made just over an hour away (in Syracuse, NY).
It cost $1500 for the mattress. (the previous set was twice this) We didn't need a foundation as we have a platform bed.
We are very happy with our purchase. I could go softer, but my husband thinks it's perfect. There is a wonderful organic wool and cotton topper that the company makes that I would love to add though....
According to the website, the green tea spray is not just scented, it's an enzyme cleaner for certain stains.
After deciding on a 100% natural latex mattress a few years ago, my husband and I were in total sticker shock. We ended up ordering 3 of the 3" latex mattress toppers for a fraction of the cost here: http://www.foambymail.com/LatexTopper.html
Only difference is that they don't come with a fancy cover, but you can figure that out on your own. Otherwise, it is exactly the same as a natural mattress that can cost upwards of $3000! Plus, free shipping :)
I am wondering if people who are allergic to latex would reat to these beds? Might be something to think about in a guest bedroom. Lots of us medical people are allergic to latex. Or maybe it is somehow contained?
Very people are alergic to natural latex. It is the synthetic (oil based) that is the issue.
God....I love our latex bed (from Habitat Furnishings with a mix of talaly and dunlop latex made by Latex Green).
I recently purchased a Natura Harmony and it's incredibly comfortable plus has radically improved my back and knee issues. The only problem is it does seem to sleep hot, but I'm pretty sensitive to that. My prior mattress didn't sleep hot, and it was a non green thing like a Simmons Beautyrest with a pillowtop. I researched the "sleeping hot" issue online and many others complain that their latex mattresses sleep hot. I think I may have an allergy to latex gloves but with the mattress it's a nonissue because it's enclosed and not near your skin. In winter, I think this bed has definitely improved my sleep.
This has become really interesting to me to watch.
3 years ago I decided to buy a "big girl" bed. You know the adult kind you spend more than $250 on... I got the Westin heavenly bed equivalent. Despite what I read my pillow top has sunk and the bed has gotten WAY TOO SOFT for me. I can sleep anywhere but my back is telling me that this mattress is no good for me!
Financially I want to wait to get a new mattress (another 8-9 months) but I also want to get the right one. So the year in the bed is really a boon to watch and hear about.
In the meantime though, does anyone have any suggestions (beyond a wood plank) for a way to firm up a mattress? All the toppers I find are to soften... sigh
We have been dabating whether to down-size to a Double from a Queen for over a year but cannot pull the trigger. It feels like a gamble.
How have you and your wife felt about the Double size? Are you over 6'? Do your feet hang off the bottom sometimes? Do you miss the length or the width more? Sorry for the nosy questions and thank your for this HUGE public/consumer service!!
6 mos ago, I got a Vera Wang Talalay all latex (no springs) bed. Big thumbs-up on the latex! It is firm, comfy, supportive and not overly warm. I like that it isn't as freakishly squishy as memory foam but still conforms slightly to your body. Judge me if you will--but it was a floor model at a local furniture store--and I got the Queen set through a friend/connection for a mere $300. Kind of too good to pass up. I had zero expectations--but I have to say that it has been PURE MAGIC so far. Unclear on its 'green' pedigree...I do what I can along those lines--but I wouldn't be shocked to learn there is some scandalous envio-tragedy surrounding it.
Very dissatisfied- update to my previous comment 8 months later. The Natura Harmony mattress I purchased broke down within 4 months. It was excellent prior to breaking down, but now I'm dealing with trying to exchange it when I'd rather get my money back. Latex mattresses do break down and get a big dent in the middle for some other reviewers as well (I notice after the fact). It took 8 years for my conventional mattress to develop this problem and need replacing- I'm astounded it happened within months for this product. Weight is not an issue in my case.
I bought a king sized Natura tranquility mattress. It was $1600+. After a few weeks I noticed it dipping but thought it would be okay. Now it hurts DH's back. We got it replaced as the dip was "significant" but the new bed, only a week old, is starting to do the same thing. Super bug bummer. I wanted the chemical-free, eco-friendly bed and now find it is causing structural problems for my husband and we can't get a different mattress so after only 10 months we need to buy a new mattress. :( Not acceptable.

Twitter is changing how we see the game. For every big play, every touchdown a tweet usually follows, turning that conversation you might be having in your living room into worldwide social media chatter.
Silverback Social CEO Chris Dessi, a social media expert, says a new video-sharing partnership between the NFL and Twitter is an exciting next step. The deal allows the social media giant to share game highlights and other video content instantly.
The deal between the NFL and Twitter is significant because the league is typically very protective about how they share the digital content. For twitter, it is also an opportunity to cash in on every possible market.
Mashable.com social media reporter Kurt Wagner says we'll be seeing the big new partnership on full display for the biggest game of the year: the Super Bowl.

I used coupons from the newspaper combined with sale items to score these deals. Always be sure to check out our weekly Walgreens matchups for the best deals and printable coupons too! Here's my savings:
Regular price would have been $116.75
Paid $69.94
Saved $46.81
Best deal – Bought Gillette cartridges for $16.99 but had a $1.00 coupon plus got a free razor. The razor alone was worth $13.99.
Not bad for items I actually needed right then. Match up the sale ad with coupons and you'll always land a good deal!

Are we teaching missionaries for the arts?Posted by Jeffrey Biegel in Uncategorized
After reading Joseph Polisi's eloquent yet true statement, I realized: when a student enters the room for a lesson, I am perhaps always thinking, 'What will you do with this after you leave? How will you make a difference–and–make a living in your field of choice?' The term President Polisi uses is 'missionary', which is quite appropriate, given that in order to keep the many facets of the arts alive will require perhaps more commitment to its survival than at any time before by our students today.
Even for people like myself, a graduate during the 1980s, the technology is now available for faster communication which did not exist in the 1980s. It has helped in exploring new ways to get new projects off the ground and communicate more cheaply than by regular mail and telephone. Though, sometimes, speaking with people on a telephone can get atleast two to three days of email correspondence done in five minutes in one phone call. There are pluses and minuses for both ways to communicate. However, with speed and easier access to everything, the ideals we hel in high regard of the arts in the 20th century, must be adhered to by our teachers and students for the ultimate survival of these crafts. We are fortunate to have people like Joseph Polisi and many fantastic administrators across the globe that see the trends of society, and the new responsibilities of everyone to uphold these traditions.

No. 1 North Gwinnett looked every bit like the team to beat in a thorough 67-30 rout of over-matched Lambert, Tuesday in a AAAAAA state tournament opener in Suwanee.
Lexie Brown became North Gwinnett's all-time leading scorer with a steal and layup that put the Bulldogs up 54-20 early in the fourth quarter. A Maryland signee, Brown finished with 15 and now has 1,518 points in her high school career.
But Brown is just one of a bevy of next-level talents for coach Bryan Sellars' squad, which led 10-0 two minutes into the game and never looked back. North Gwinnett (26-1) missed just three shots in the first quarter and took a 40-13 lead into halftime.
Guard Joshlyn Belcher had a game-high 17 points, including three first-quarter 3-pointers that had Lambert playing catch-up the entire game. Penn State-signee Peyton Whitted owned the paint and finished with 15, and diminutive spark-plug guard Baylee Rexin added 10.
The Bulldogs will host the Archer-Etowah winner at 7 p.m., Friday, according to Sellars.
North Gwinnett scored the first 10 points and never looked back, overwhelming coach Seth Thompson's young Lambert squad, which battled through numerous injuries and inexperience to reach the state tournament for the second straight season.
North Gwinnett (26-1) advances to face the Archer-Etowah winner on Friday or Saturday.
Thompson tried to stem the early barrage, but the Longhorns (10-18) struggled mightily with the Bulldogs' athleticism.
"They are without a doubt the best team we played against this season and probably the best team I've ever coach against," said Thompson.
Morgan Jackson led Lambert with 15 points, most coming from behind the arc. The Longhorns got very few looks inside the paint against the North Gwinnett front court that comes at you in waves of tall athletic players.
A McDonald's All-American, Brown got any shot she wanted and displayed an array of step-back jumpers and cross-over drives to the basket. Her defense was just as good. Lambert's guards simply couldn't get around her, and turnovers ensued.
Sellars said after the game that his team was already turning its focus to the second round.
"Our focus is winning our last game," said Sellars. "That's what it's been about all season and really since we lost (in the playoffs) to Hillgrove last year."
North Gwinnett's only loss came at Norcross late in the season. The Bulldogs wouldn't meet their region rival again until the state championship game.
North Gwinnett 67, Lambert 30
North Gwinnett: Belcher 17, Brown 15, Whitted 14, Baylee Rexin 10, Emily Toomer 4, Stephanie Amichia 3, Keniesha Wilborn 2, Alyssa Munly 12. Lambert: Morgan Jackson 15, Corrie Baker 6, Peyton Card 4, Ellie Hammer 3.
Haftime: North Gwinnett 40-13

bp_blog_avatar Filter?
I would like to add a custom avatar on the BuddyPress blogs listing.
On line #205 of bp-core-avatars.php (http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/buddypress/nav.html?bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.source.html) in the "bp_blog_avatar" function, there is a comment that says, "…you can use a filter with the ID of the blog to change (the avatar) if you wish." What is the proper code for that filter?
I would like to have a default avatar for all blogs as well as the ability to apply "my-avatar.jpg" to a blog of ID #4. I have tried some iterations of the following code in functions.php of my theme with no good results:
add_filter('bp_get_blog_avatar_', 'my_blog_avatar');

We received a bumper crop of entries for the 2012 "I Built the Best" contest. The results revealed two remarkable achievements: Bruce Bishop of McComb, Ohio, captured his 10th "I Built the Best" victory by winning the sprayer category and three farmers won two categories each: Dave Richardson, who lives in Ottawa, Kan., and works for Claerhout Farms of Princeton, Kan.; Joel Armistead of Adairville, Ky.; and Kevin Clark of Kiowa, Kan.
Richardson's and Armistead's nurse trailers were co-winners of the chemical handling category. Richardson's lime and fertilizer spreader won the fertilizer handling category, and Armistead's planter won the planter category. Clark won the service truck category and his house trailer (used for custom harvesting) won the miscellaneous category.
Other winners include Dale Jaster of Farmdale, Ohio, in the drill/air seeder category; Craig Stewart of Yorkville, Ill., in the seed handling category; Kelly McNichols of Burr Oak, Kan., in the technology category; and Ron Brooks of Waupaca, Wis., in the shop category.
You can read about Armistead's planter, Stewart's seed tender and Bishop's sprayer on the following pages. We'll share the details of the other winning entries in future issues.
Each "I Built the Best" winner receives $500. See details on the 2013 contest.
The future of planting technology is at work on Joel Armistead's farm near Adairville, Ky. Armistead has assembled a planter that varies seed, in-row fertilizer and nitrogen according to the productive capacity of the soil.
"On one 37-acre field, varying the rates saved us $25 per acre, compared with applying everything at the maximum rate as I used to do," says Armistead, who farms with his father, Raymond, and his son Zach.
He assembled the system on a Blu-Jet LandTracker implement caddy. A front-mounted toolbar carries Spike-Wheel nitrogen injectors. The wheels place nitrogen 3" deep and 7" beside each 30" row. (Actual placement is closer than 7" because the spikes expel fertilizer from the side rather than the tip, propelling it toward the row, Armistead says.)
The rear of the caddy carries Armistead's Kinze 2100 mounted planter, operated by a Rawson variable-rate hydraulic drive. The planter is equipped with Precision Planting seed meters and the company's BullsEye seed tubes.
The planter frame also carries 1,000 gal. of 32% UAN (urea-ammonium nitrate) solution. Tanks on Armistead's tractor carry another 600 gal.
Range of rates. Armistead varies his planting rate from 24,000 to 41,000 seeds per acre. Each planter unit is controlled by a Tru Count air clutch. "We vary the nitrogen rate from 32 gal. to 40 gal. per acre to match the corn population," he says.
The implement caddy carries two 150-gal. tanks of row fertilizer, applied in the trench under the seed. Armistead can vary the rate from zero to 10 gal. per acre.
"Even where the soil tests are high for phosphorus and potassium, applying just a couple gallons in the row seems to make a difference because the nutrients are readily available early in the season," Armistead says.
Row fertilizer and seed turn on and off simultaneously. "The same air pressure that disengages the row clutches to shut off the seed actuates Richway Airpinch valves that shut off the fertilizer," Armistead explains.
"SureFire Ag Systems put the row-fertilizer system together for me. It uses a two-pump tower with two flow meters and controllers to variable-rate each of two different row fertilizer products.

- Aldabra tortoises are the world's second largest tortoise and some males reach 550 lbs. The largest species is the Galapagos tortoise. Wild aldabras live on a group of islands called the Aldabra Atoll, and prefer grasslands and coastal dunes.
- Females will lay 4-14 eggs at a time, but only about half of the eggs will be fertile. Incubation time varies depending on the weather and may last 110-250 days. The offspring receive no parental care.
- They are herbivores and eat leaves, grasses, fruit, and flowers. They are considered seed distributors and play an important role in the ecology of the region they live in.
- These large tortoises are very strong and are capable of knocking down small trees to find leaves to eat. When they do this, they create pathways for other animals.
Did You Know?
A tortoise's shell is part of their body's skeleton and not their house. The top part of the shell is called a carapace and the underside is called the plastron. The shell provides the tortoise with protection from predators

Museum hosts the Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture this week
By Bill Francis
June 01, 2010
America's National Pastime gets examined through a number of different prisms this week.
Approximately 120 people from throughout the country will converge on the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum for three days, beginning on Wednesday, June 2, to attend the annual Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture.
Co-sponsored by the State University of New York College at Oneonta and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, the symposium examines the impact of baseball on American culture from inter- and multi-disciplinary perspectives.
The 22nd edition, with programs to be held in the institution's Grandstand Theater, Bullpen Theater and Education Gallery, features more than 50 presenters on such wide-ranging topics as women in baseball literature, baseball and World War I, an economic analysis of the designated hitter rule, and the managerial career of Hall of Famer Larry Doby.
Hall of Fame Librarian Jim Gates, a co-coordinator of the event, said he is looking at 2010 as a continuation of the high quality participants have come to expect over the years.
"We have some incredible people coming here from a variety of disciplines and they bring with them a special dimension," Gates said. "We have become a symposium that welcomes new people, whether it is academics, graduate students or women, which add a tremendous vitality. And I think this is reflected in the quality of the presentations.
"We have built up a great history and that history continues and goes forward," he added. "What this all adds up to, I hope, is the country's preeminent academic baseball conference."
The Cooperstown Symposium has an impressive list of past keynote speakers, and this year is no exception. Claire Smith, currently a news editor at ESPN who covered baseball for 27 years at the Hartford Courant, the New York Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer, becomes the first woman accorded the honor of kicking off the festivities at 1 p.m. on Wednesday with her talk titled "Race and Gender: Perspectives from the Press Box."
"We've always had a number of women participate, so this year we couldn't be happier to have Claire Smith agree to be our keynote speaker," Gates said. "We've been extremely lucky to have an all-star roster of past keynote speakers, a real Murderers' Row, and Claire Smith fits right in."
Past keynote speakers include: James Vlasich and Marty Appel, 1989; Harold Seymour and David Voigt, 1990; Peter Levine, 1991;Stephen Jay Gould, 1992; Donald Fehr, 1993; Ken Burns, 1994; Leonard Koppett, 1995; W.P. Kinsella, 1996; Jules Tygiel, 1997; G. Edward White, 1998; Eliot Asinof, 1999; Roger Kahn, 2000; George Plimpton, 2001; Charles Alexander, 2002; Josh Prager, 2003; Marvin Miller, 2004; Jonathan Eig, 2005; Stanley Glenn and Mahlon Duckett, 2006; Curt Smith, 2007; Ira Berkow, 2008; Paul Dickson, 2009.
Paul Dickson, the 2009 keynote speaker and author of The Dickson Baseball Dictionary, said last year the event was absolutely beyond his expectations.
"There's a great sense of camaraderie here," Dickson said. "As a non-scholar, as a straight-up writer, I go to some scholarly events and you are always considered the outsider, but here it's just the opposite. They don't check your PhD at the door to make sure you're part of the club. It's a very welcoming, wonderful environment.
"Coming in I thought it would be a little dryer. I didn't realize there was going to be such vitality and spirit."
Registrations will be accepted onsite during the Symposium in the Library Atrium. A full schedule of Symposium events and presentations is available on-line here.
Bill Francis is a library associate at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

Looks interesting, but my money's on Peak Meetings which has the capacity to provide a strategic underpinning.
"The iPad-only format is a deliberate move, targeting those who increasingly use their tablet to take notes and organize their business life, instead of penning away at an A4 notepad. The larger-screen real estate offered by an iPad is critical for the intended user-base here. That's not to say they couldn't produce a smaller-screen incarnation with reduced features, of course."

Earlier this year, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels in the Arctic reached the unhappy milestone of generic cialis soft online 400 parts-per-million. Now, information coming from the express levitra delivery National Snow & Ice Data Center indicates that this year's Arctic sea ice is on pace to shrink to its smallest levels ever.
One of the clearest examples of the effects of global warming and viagra by mail climate change is the receding of the Arctic ice cap. The NSIDC indicates that this year's sea ice is already slightly smaller than it was in 2010, which was the previous record for this time of year. It is also smaller than it was in 2007, which was the year that had the ice cap shrink to its smallest size in September of that year.
Starting the summer with the smallest Arctic cap on wow)) cialis samples record is not an auspicious sign, for the Arctic or for the planet.

Does the MMR Vaccine cause autism?
The following is edited for length and re-printed from the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC's) website with permission, at http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety
Current scientific evidence does not support the hypothesis that MMR vaccine, or any combination of vaccines, causes the development of autism, including regressive forms of autism. Epidemiologic studies have shown no relationship between MMR vaccination in children and development of autism. Taylor et al. (1999) studied 498 children with autism in the UK and found that the age at which they were diagnosed was the same regardless of whether they received the MMR vaccine before or after 18 months of age or whether they were never vaccinated. Importantly, no clustering of developmental regression was found after vaccination. Also, there was no "step up" in cases of autism or change in the trend line after introduction of MMR vaccine. Gillberg and Heijbel (1998) compared the prevalence of autism in children born in Sweden from 1975-1984. There was no difference in the prevalence of autism among children born before the introduction and after the introduction of the MMR vaccine. A recent study (Kaye et al., 2001) assessed the relationship between the risk of autism among children in the UK and MMR vaccine. Among a subgroup of boys aged 2-5 years, the risk of autism increased almost 4 fold from 1988 to 1993, while MMR vaccination coverage remained constant at approximately 95% over these same years. Similarly, among children born in 1980 to 1994 and enrolled in California kindergartens, there was a 373% relative increase in autism cases, though the relative increase in MMR vaccine coverage by the age of 24 months was only 14% (Dales et al., 2001). These data do not support a causal relationship between MMR vaccination and risk of autism. In 1999, the British Committee on Safety of Medicines convened a "Working Party on MMR Vaccine" to conduct a systematic review of reports of autism, gastrointestinal disease, and similar disorders after receipt of MMR or measles/rubella vaccine. It was concluded that the available information did not support the posited associations between MMR and autism and other disorders. In addition, in 1997, the National Childhood Encephalopathy Study (NCES) was examined to see if there was any link between measles vaccine and neurological events. The researchers found no indication that measles vaccine contributes to the development of long-term neurological damage, including educational and behavioral deficits (Miller et al., 1997).
What about other studies that suggest there might be a connection between autism and MMR vaccine?
Current scientific evidence does not support the hypothesis put forth by Wakefield and colleagues (1998) that the MMR vaccine causes the development of autism, including regressive forms of autism.Wakefield et al. (1998) reviewed reports of 12 children with bowel disease and regressive developmental disorders, mostly autism. In 9 of the cases, the child's parents or pediatrician speculated that the MMR vaccine had contributed to the behavioral problems of the children in the study. This was the only evidence suggesting a possible link with vaccination. An expert committee from the UK Medical Research Council (MRC) reviewed this study. The Council concluded there is no evidence to link the MMR vaccine with autism. On April 3, 2000 the MRC issued a new report confirming its earlier conclusion; MMR has not been linked with inflammatory bowel disease or autism. A copy of this report can be found at the MRC web site, http://www.mrc.ac.uk
What about the claim that the numbers of children with autism have been increasing ever since the MMR vaccine has been in use?
The data from California (Department. of Developmental Services, 1999) used to illustrate an increase in cases of autism were presented inaccurately (Fombonne, 2001). Fombonne (2001) lists several reasons why the data are misrepresented, for instance: 1) the figures presented are based on numbers, not rates, and do not account for population growth and changes in the composition of the population, 2) changes in diagnostic definitions were not controlled in the report, and 3) as in other areas of the country, children with autism are currently being diagnosed at earlier ages meaning that there will be an increase in the number of reported cases.
Should a younger sibling of an autistic child, or a child of someone who has autism be vaccinated with MMR or other vaccines?
Yes. Current scientific evidence does not show that MMR vaccine, or any combination of vaccines, causes the development of autism, including regressive forms of autism.A younger sibling or the child of someone who suffered a vaccine side effect usually can, and should, safely receive the same vaccine. This is especially true since the large majority of side effects after vaccination are local reactions and fever, which do not represent a contraindication.
Should we delay vaccination until we know more about the negative effects of vaccines?
No. There is no convincing evidence that vaccines such as MMR cause long term health effects. On the other hand, we do know that people will become ill and some will die from the diseases this vaccine prevents. Discontinuing a vaccine program based on unproven theories would not be in anyone's best interest. Isolated reports about these vaccines causing long term health problems may sound alarming at first. However, careful review of the science reveals that these reports are isolated and not confirmed by scientifically sound research. Detailed medical reviews of health effects reported after receipt of vaccines have often proven to be unrelated to vaccines, but rather have been related to other health factors. Because these vaccines are recommended widely to protect the health of the public, research on any serious hypotheses about their safety are important to pursue. Several studies are underway to investigate still unproven theories about vaccinations and severe side effects ("http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/Vaccines/MMR/index.html and http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/Concerns/thimerosal/thimerosal_faqs.html).

Scottsdale police are investigating an allegation of sexual assault involving Phoenix Suns player Michael Beasley.
Scottsdale Police say the alleged incident took place on January 13, 2013.
Officer David Pubins says, "At this point we can only say the investigation is ongoing as we are interviewing those involved and are processing any physical evidence that we may have to try to determine if criminal charges are appropriate for this incident."
Team officials did not immediately return phone messages seeking
comment Tuesday. It wasn't clear if Beasley had legal representation.
Beasley was Phoenix's biggest offseason acquisition
in 2012 after signing a 3-year, $18 million contract. He was the No. 2
overall pick of the 2008 draft.
Beasley has been in trouble before. He was cited
earlier this year on suspicion of speeding, driving on a suspended
license and driving without a license plate or registration.

Nose: Rather closed, with just the malted sweetness coming through.
Palate: Light, grassy and sweet with notes of green apple and lemon.
Finish: Medium-length and slightly drying with the lemon notes remaining through to the end.
Comment: It's not a whisky to set the world alight, but that's not what it's meant to do. An easy-to-drink, entry-level single malt that's a bargain at this price.

The biggest move in Rhode Island high school basketball this offseason was Eric Simonelli's departure from Prout up north to La Salle.
Replacing him wasn't going to be easy, but first-year Prout athletic director Mike Traficante thinks the school – and the program – have their man.
After a summer of searching, Traficante told The Times Wednesday that Westerly boys basketball assistant coach Jed O'Malley will take over for Simonelli this season, beating out two other finalists for the job.
In the years I have been writing this op-ed I recall receiving only two letters and several emails. The latter have been mostly complimentary.
Both letters, on the other hand, were pretty harsh. The first, written back in the second George W. Bush administration, accused me of being a conservative and "a Karl Rove stooge". The latter charge I found interesting since I have never met or spoken to Mr. Rove and he wouldn't know me if he bumped into me on the street.

A bipartisan bill meant to help protect the nation from a cyber attack failed passage by the U.S. Senate last week, much to the dismay of the bill's co-sponsor, Rhode Island Second District Rep. Jim Langevin. The local representative released a lengthy statement detailing his thoughts on this new development.
PROVIDENCE - A former Chariho High School assistant soccer coach has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of receipt, possession and distribution of child pornography, the Dept. of Justice announced Wednesday.
WEST GREENWICH - The Woodville Barn at the University of Rhode Island W. Alton Jones Campus has been the spring and summer home for a thriving maternal colony of little brown bats for a very long time. Every March or April, the same colony returns to roost in the barn for the warmer months, and each member of the colony, which is females only, returns from its far away hibernation ready to bear one pup. It is a truly fascinating life cycle.
RICHMOND - On Tuesday man played the Willow Valley Disc Golf Course in Richmond unlike any other man that has ever played it before. It is no superpower or rare ability that sets this man apart from other course competitors, but an indomitable will to be the most well-traveled American ambassador of the game possible.
COVENTRY — Two young cousins from Coventry have joined forces during the past two months to help raise money for Christopher Carlino, an 11-year-old boy who was re-diagnosed with Lymphoma.
At the age of seven, Christopher, who attends Father John V. Doyle School, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
He had to undergo four months of chemotherapy at Hasbro Children's Hospital to treat the cancer.
After a year of waiting and hoping, the young Coventry resident went into remission.
His parents had to take Christopher to the hospital every three months to have tests done.

Special to the Standard
NORTH KINGSTOWN – A large banner has gone up across the front of the former Wickford Flowers at 17 West Main St.: "Reduced for Quick Sale."
The 6,200-square-foot commercial space includes a greenhouse and retail salesroom plus what the new sign calls an "attached two-bedroom luxury residence."
Once listed for sale or lease at $1.3 million and then lowered to $1.09 million, the price has been slashed and the property is now offered for $949,000 on the website of Prudential Gammons Realty.
NORTH KINGSTOWN – Rick Belavance's love of the Bay, its bounty – and the great sea beyond – began when he was 10.
"I started out goofing around in Greenwich Bay," recalls Bellavance, who grew up in Warwick and lives in the North End of North Kingstown. "I walked down from Cowesett and dug shellfish in the area of Chepiwanoxet." He also ventured out onto the water, piloting his own small craft.
"I had a little skiff my dad gave me."
His father, Dick Belavance, is a former URI professor of oceanography and life sciences who shared his knowledge and enthusiasm with his son. He still does.

EXETER—The Exeter Town Council hopes voters have had a change of heart since 2010 as Monday night, during its regular monthly meeting, the council approved a measure to once again ask residents to add a new position in the notoriously small municipal government.
In a 3-1 vote, with member Dan Patterson dissenting, the council agreed to move forward with a ballot question in this November's election seeking approval to create a town administrator position that will employ someone to handle the "day-to-day operations" of Exeter.

Next: Attribute Functions, Previous: Face Attributes, Up: Faces
The usual way to define a face is through the
defface macro.
This macro defines a face name, and associates that name with a set of
face attributes. It also sets up the face so that the user can
customize it via the Customize interface (see Customization).
This macro declares face as a customizable face whose default attributes are given by spec. You should not quote the symbol face, and it should not end in '-face' (that would be redundant). The argument doc is a documentation string for the face. The additional keyword arguments have the same meanings as in
defcustom(see Common Keywords).
deffaceexecutes, it defines the face according to spec, then uses any customizations that were read from the init file (see Init File) to override that specification.
When you evaluate a
deffaceform with C-M-x in Emacs Lisp mode (
eval-defun), a special feature of
eval-defunoverrides any customizations of the face. This way, the face reflects exactly what the
The spec argument is a face specification, which states how the face should appear on different kinds of terminals. It should be an alist whose elements each have the form(display . plist)
display specifies a class of terminals (see below). plist is a property list of face attributes and their values, specifying how the face appears on such terminals. For backward compatibility, you can also write an element as
(display plist
The display part of an element of spec determines which terminals the element matches. If more than one element of spec matches a given terminal, the first element that matches is the one used for that terminal. There are three possibilities for display:
- This element of spec doesn't match any terminal; instead, it specifies defaults that apply to all terminals. This element, if used, must be the first element of spec. Each of the following elements can override any or all of these defaults.
- This element of spec matches all terminals. Therefore, any subsequent elements of spec are never used. Normally
tis used in the last (or only) element of spec.
- a list
- If display is a list, each element should have the form
(characteristic value
...). Here characteristic specifies a way of classifying terminals, and the values are possible classifications which display should apply to. Here are the possible values of characteristic:
- The kind of window system the terminal uses—either
graphic(any graphics-capable display),
pc(for the MS-DOS console),
w32(for MS Windows 9X/NT/2K/XP), or
tty(a non-graphics-capable display). See window-system.
- What kinds of colors the terminal supports—either
grayscale, or
- The kind of background—either
- An integer that represents the minimum number of colors the terminal should support. This matches a terminal if its
display-color-cellsvalue is at least the specified integer.
- Whether or not the terminal can display the face attributes given in value... (see Face Attributes). See Display Face Attribute Testing, for more information on exactly how this testing is done.
If an element of display specifies more than one value for a given characteristic, any of those values is acceptable. If display has more than one element, each element should specify a different characteristic; then each characteristic of the terminal must match one of the values specified for it in display.
Here's how the standard face
highlight is defined:
(defface highlight '((((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light)) :background "darkseagreen2") (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark)) :background "darkolivegreen") (((class color) (min-colors 16) (background light)) :background "darkseagreen2") (((class color) (min-colors 16) (background dark)) :background "darkolivegreen") (((class color) (min-colors 8)) :background "green" :foreground "black") (t :inverse-video t)) "Basic face for highlighting." :group 'basic-faces)
Internally, Emacs stores the face's default specification in its
face-defface-spec symbol property (see Symbol Properties).
saved-face property stores the face specification saved by
the user, using the customization buffer; the
property stores the face specification customized for the current
session, but not saved; and the
theme-face property stores an
alist associating the active customization settings and Custom themes
with their specifications for that face. The face's documentation
string is stored in the
face-documentation property. But
normally you should not try to set any of these properties directly.
See Applying Customizations, for the
function, which is used to apply customized face settings.
People are sometimes tempted to create variables whose values specify a face to use. In the vast majority of cases, this is not necessary; it is preferable to simply use faces directly.

In an interview with the Associated Press, President Obama immersed himself in the call for the Washington Redskins to change it's name.
"If I were the owner of the team, I'd think about changing it," says the President.
Even though the name has been called offensive before, many local residents feel very strongly about what they term as too much political correctness in Washington. On the other hand, others claim there is now a need to be aware of different cultures.
Meanwhile, the owner of the Redskins insists that he will not be changing the name, and because the team is privately owned, legally, he does not have to.
