Oxygen is a gas that the cells in your body need to work properly. The air we breathe normally contains 21% oxygen. We can receive up to 100% oxygen.
Babies with heart or lung problems may need to breathe increased amounts of oxygen to get normal levels of oxygen in their blood.
There are several different ways to deliver oxygen to a baby. Which method is used depends on how much oxygen is needed and whether the baby needs a breathing machine.
An oxygen hood is used for babies who can breathe on their own but still need extra oxygen. A hood is a plastic dome or box with warm, moist oxygen inside. The hood is placed over the baby's head.
A thin, soft, plastic tube called a nasal cannula may be used instead. This tube has soft prongs that gently fit into the baby's nose. Oxygen flows through the tube. The baby must be able to breathe without assistance to use this type of oxygen therapy.
Another method is a nasal CPAP system. CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. It is used for babies who need more help breathing than they can get from an oxygen hood or nasal cannula, but they do not need a machine to completely breathe for them. A CPAP machine delivers oxygen through tubes with soft nasal prongs. The air is under higher pressure, which helps the lungs better expand (inflate). CPAP can be given with a ventilator.
Finally, a breathing machine or ventilator may be needed to deliver increased oxygen and breathe for the baby. The oxygen flows through a tube placed down the baby's windpipe. The ventilator will also breathe for the baby if the baby is too weak, tired, or sick to breathe.
Too much or too little oxygen can be harmful. If the cells in the body get too little oxygen, energy production decreases. With too little energy, cells may not work well and may die. Your baby may not grow properly. Many of the developing organs, including the brain and heart, may be injured.
Too much oxygen can also cause injury. Breathing too much oxygen can damage the lung. Under certain conditions, too much oxygen in the blood may also lead to problems in the brain and eye. Babies with certain heart conditions may also need lower levels of oxygen in the blood.
Your baby's doctors and nurses will try to balance how much oxygen your baby needs. If you have questions about the risks and benefits of oxygen for your baby, discuss these with your doctor.
Infants receiving oxygen by hood may get cold if the temperature of the oxygen is not warm enough.
Most (but not all) nasal cannulas use cool, dry oxygen. At higher flow rates, this irritate the inner nose, causing cracked skin, bleeding, or mucus plugs in the nose. This can increase the risk for infection.
Similar problems can occur with nasal CPAP devices. Also, some CPAP devices use wide nasal prongs that can change the shape of the nose.
Mechanical ventilators have a number of risks. Talk to your doctor about these risks.

Create a Swale
A swale is a u- or v-shaped channel, usually vegetated or covered with mulch, that slows stormwater runoff and increases the time available for water absorption. The vegetation or mulch begins the filtering process that continues in the soil.
Note that before implementing this infiltration practice, it is highly recommended to determine the soil permeability.
Is this practice right for you?
Consult a professional if you're not sure. Also, see our web pages discussing maintenance issues, costs and other factors.

Framed Flowers [1]
Sew a flowery springtime wall hanging by fussy-cutting a detail from your favorite big floral print. Fabrics in rich green and red hues add plenty of texture and bright color. A bold print border serves as a modern frame.
Pretty in Pastels Quilt [4]
Use Double-Nine Patch blocks, star blocks, and a sawtooth border all made from pastel fabric in a pretty spring wall hanging.
Pastel Strip Quilt [7]
Pastel batik rectangles and border are perfect soft touches to a spring quilt.
Pastel Mountains Bed Quilt [10]
A beautiful color palette in crisp, cool colors creates an exquisite bed quilt and matching ensemble of pillows for your spring bed.
Spinning Stars [13]
Careful color placement in the hourglass units in this table topper results in a pink pinwheel at the center of each block.
Spring Garden Wall Hanging [16]
Plant a garden of floral Square-in-a-Square blocks using sweet 1930s reproduction prints. Let white sashing represent the picket fence.
Stars and Sashing Wall Quilt [19]
Aqua, fuschia, and floral prints combine beautifully in this work-of-art wall hanging.
Playful Pastel Throw [22]
Arrange blocks of bright, springtime fabrics to create a nine-block throw with a game-board vibe.
Reproduction Baskets Quilt [25]
Surround basket blocks and a chain block with a scrappy, pieced border.
Spring Bird Appliqué [28]
Make a springtime scene wall hanging in no time using fusible appliqué to assemble the bird, tree, and pear motifs and fussy-cutting the flower pieces.
Scenery Snapshots [31]
Zoom in on favorite prints or fussy-cut designs with this camera-theme wall hanging. The lenses capture different scenes, artistically showcasing various prints.
Poppy Fields [34]
Red and turquoise combine beautifully in a wall hanging that features large floral prints and ample room for extensive quilting in spacious cream print setting squares.
Flip & Sew Carrot Table Runner [37]
A carrot table runner is perfect for an Easter table. Strips of orange are an easy way to use up scraps.
Floral and Paisley Chain Quilt [40]
Use favorite floral fabrics for two-color blocks and setting rectangles that form a chain design.
Take Flight Wall Hanging [43]
Add a pop of color to any room with this bright, vibrant wall hanging. A bird background fabric and a fresh palette of greens and blues bring this piece to life. The brown border ties the different prints together.
Easy Floral Wall Hanging [46]
Sophisticated florals peek through a trellis of cream and green tone-on-tones in this wall hanging.
Butterfly Garden [49]
Butterflies dance amid spring flowers on this colorful appliquéd quilt. Take the guesswork out of hand appliqué using an easy-to-follow overlay method to accurately position each pattern piece.
Chickens in the Coop [52]
A chicken-wire print background and appliqués in feed sack reproductions combine in a cute kitchen wall hanging.
Floral Double Nine-Patch Quilt [55]
Fussy-cut floral designs to add pizzazz to large Nine-Patch blocks. Small-scale prints and tone-on-tone fabrics add variety to the Double Nine-Patch block.
Painted Petals [58]
Far from a typical flower appliqué quilt, this project uses big prints, abstract floral patterns, and muted, nontraditional colors to make the throw appear as if it were painted.
Lemon Bars [61]
Simple squares and rectangles combine with sashing to create a quick-to-finish springtime maze.
Striking Stars Quilt [64]
Floral prints and pastel colors are the star of this wall hanging.
Fusible Appliqué Bird Pillow [67]

Adorn plush birds with beaded hanging loops. The delightful birds will bring cheer to any season!
Avian Table Topper [73]
Showcase fussy-cut bird designs in uneven Nine-Patch blocks and frame them with Flying Geese units in a tabletop quilt.
Pastel Pears Wall Quilt [76]
Combine a fruit shape with pastel floral fabrics to create a well-balanced design. Use the same cream tone-on-tone for the appliqué foundations and the rectangles and Four-Patch units in the pieced blocks to play up the chain effect.
Hen and Flowers Wall Hanging [79]
Use coordinating fabrics to fuse appliqué shapes to a wall quilt that has folk art flair. Tone-on-tones, stripes, and dots add depth to the farmyard scene.
Bunny Folk Art [82]
Create a bunny appliqué wall hanging that you can display year-round with muted greens, tans, and browns.
Spring Baskets [85]
Red, blue, and yellow 1930s reproduction prints have as fresh a look today as they did back then. Combine those primary prints with the classic basket block for a timeless throw.

It's always difficult to predict what will happen in the next race as we haven't been there yet with this car, and every car reacts differently to each circuit. Unfortunately we didn't achieve any points there last year so we can only improve from that. I have been first, second and third in Shanghai in previous years so it would be nice to add to that list. There's no reason why we shouldn't go well there; we have some new parts for the E21 and the last upgrades we had seemed to help so it will be interesting to see what will happen if it doesn't rain.
I won there in 2007 and that was a good feeling as it was the year I won the World Championship. I celebrated those wins pretty well at the time. It's a proper race track and there are good opportunities for overtaking. Our car looks good so far, so let's see what happens when we get out on track.
Australia felt like quite an easy race for me as everything went so well in the car and the result was the one which everyone wants to get. Malaysia was a tough race. The start was not good and then I lost part of my front wing on the first lap. The car didn't handle too well after that and with the wet conditions it was pretty tricky. The pace wasn't too bad, but it could have been much better when you look at our times on Friday.
It was racing and that's what we're all here for. There were a few times where it got pretty close. There are things you should and shouldn't do but this is racing and at the end of the day I don't think it changed our result too much.
There was some good racing and it looked like a strong result could have been possible, but we ran out of rubber during the final stint and didn't score any points. Hopefully we'll be a little bit more lucky with the tyre performance this time and well prepared from a strategy point of view. We had the race pace in 2012, that's true, but we tried to carry on with our tyres for too long. They dropped off, and that was it. On the other hand without trying to push with those tactics, we would never have been fighting for top positions. If you look at last year we didn't have a bad car for China, and if we get the car working as well as we did on Friday at Sepang, we should do well in Shanghai too.

To see previous City Spotlights here
The city of Chester in the north west of England is one of the most fascinating and charming cities in the UK – that's exactly why I've made my home here for the past two years! As a Canadian living abroad I am perpetually amazed and in awe of the ancient history that can be seen around every corner in places like Chester, and I love learning more and more about the past everywhere I go. It might be a trek up if you're staying in London, but the 2 hour train ride is more than worth it once you arrive in this little living museum.
What makes Chester magical?
Chester was settled by the Romans and was established as a Roman fort, or castrum, in the year 79. Since this time a city has sat along the banks of the River Dee in Cheshire, growing in size and influence all the while.
This long history means that Chester is packed full of fascinating history, from the Roman City Walls and amphitheatre, to Victorian Grosvenor Park, right up to the shops and restaurants of modern times. Just a simple stroll up the main street gives you glimpses into the city's history, with leaning Tudor buildings mingling with elegant Georgian facades.
If I only had one day in Chester, England what would you recommend?
If you only have 1 day in Chester the first thing you have to do is take a walking tour of the Roman City Walls that still guard the city centre. These city walls are the most complete in Britain and a walk around the whole of the monument will take you no longer than an hour, including stops to read the historical interpretation provided along the way. Along the way you'll glimpse the beautiful River Dee, go under the historic Eastgate Clock (the second most photographed clock in Britain), and pass by the magnificent Chester Cathedral. There really is no better way to see the city.
After your walk along the walls head down to ground level to explore the shops and attractions that make up the city centre. At the Chester Visitors Centre you can sign up for a guided city walk which will give you insights into the city that you never would have discovered on your own. My favourite little tid-bit? It is believed that Catherine of Aragon, first with of the infamous Henry VIII spent a night in a room that is now part of a sofa shop!
What are your 3 favorite free things to do there?
Everyone likes to save a little while travelling, and it's much easier to do that in the North of England than it is in London. It's easy to find free, or inexpensive, things to do in Chester and not feel like you're missing out.
- Visit the Grosvenor Museum – Many museums in the UK are free to enter and Chester's little museum is one of them. Here you can watch a movie about the history of Chester, learn about its Roman heritage, and take a tour through a recreated Victorian household.
- Take in the Races – The Chester Racecourse, also known as the Roodee, is set right in the centre of the city and dates back to the 16th century. Throughout the summer there are numerous horse races held here, all of which you can watch for free from the street side.
- Take a Walk Along the Canal – Along with the River Dee, Chester also has a beautiful canal that winds its way through the city. On a sunny day there are few things nicer than walking along the water in the countryside, and maybe popping in to one of the local pubs for a pint in the sun!

My 13 year old son recently went to the UK national fitting center and I can't say enough good things about them.... the bottom line is if you want the confidence you have the correctly configured equipment in your hands you should take advice from the people whom fit Titleist clubs day in and day out. You will be surprised at the infinite number of combinations, but they will quickly home in on the right specification
Model: 712 AP2, Composition: 5 - PW + GW, Shaft: Nippon NS 850GH (Band S1a), Flex: Regular, Length: Standard, Loft: Standard, Lie: Standard Model: SM4 Vokey Black Nickel, Composition: 56.11, Shaft: Nippon NS 850GH (Band S1a), Flex: Regular, Length: Std Mens, Loft: Standard, Lie: Standard Model: SM4 Vokey Black Nickel, Composition: 60.07, Shaft: Nippon NS 850GH (Band S1a), Flex: Regular, Length: Std Mens, Loft: Standard, Lie: Standard Model: 913 D2, Composition: 10.5, Shaft: Diamana Blue 62 S+ , Flex: Regular, Length: Std Mens, Setting: A4 Model: 913 F, Composition: 17, Shaft: Titleist Bassara W 55, Flex: Regular, Length: -1/2", Setting: A4 Model: 913 H, Composition: 24, Shaft: Titleist Bassara W 60, Flex: Regular, Length: -1/2", Setting: A1
These are all great suggestions and ideas. My 5 year old is on his 2nd set of US Kids clubs. The length is the key at the early age (in my opinion). The US Kids line is very easy to follow and he really likes them.
i have the same problen im 13 and 5 foot im using wilson clubs at the moment and im starting to hate the flex. the moxi clubs arent my style in gameplay and id be nice if titleist made new jr golf clibs my driver just broke and iv been loking for a new one so i looked at titleist they have great clubs but not for my size plz help
If you read Cathi's response earlier in the thread, Titleist can easily build any club for you. At five feet tall, you may be as little as one inch short of men's standard. That's a very easy build for the people in the custom department. Make sure to get fitted for your proper lie angle as well if you're getting irons and wedges. That's very important for shot accuracy.
My daughter is 10 years and SS is 70 miles. I am thinking to customize 913F fairway for her with 37 inches at 21 degree. Is it doable? What is the club head weight of 913F. My daughter is not very strong there she needs a lighter club head in order to for her easy to swing
With a swingspeed of 70 (I assume driver) and your concerns with strength, she would be much better off in a set of woman's or kids clubs. When my son was that size he had great success with women's clubs. These clubs have a lighter head and more flexible shaft. You'll still have to cut them down which will stiffen them up.
My son couldn't wait to get into Titleist (men's) clubs and his worst year at Junior Worlds was the year he talked me into putting him into adult clubheads too soon. When you do this you end up with a stiffer shaft and a heavy head which costs a junior lots of distance.
You are probably like I was and eager to get her into a set of 14 clubs. Kids golf now makes a set of kids clubs for advanced kids (as opposed to the beginner sets you can buy for all ages, apparently most kids clubmakers assume a kid never progresses beyond beginner). We chose a set of women's clubs instead. There are lots of good choices out there now and some of the colors really appeal to kids. When shopping, keep in mind that the graphite shafts will be stiffer when cut down.
Tell her she can have the adult clubs when her swing speed is 80-85 and she is about 5 feet tall.
At the younger age groups the competitions will be dominated by kids that are large for their age and kit the ball farther. Tell her that is ok. When they are 15 and everyone hits the ball about the same distance, they won't have her short game.
Max C My daughter is 10 years and SS is 70 miles. I am thinking to customize 913F fairway for her with 37 inches at 21 degree. Is it doable? What is the club head weight of 913F. My daughter is not very strong there she needs a lighter club head in order to for her easy to swing Max
Thanks for this info, that will be great to build it for my daughter.
I lived in San Jose, 95129 CA.
Thanks for your feedback. You are pretty right on the situation. She is using kids equipment right now, the iron set is good for her. But the fairway and driver just not that good in terms of the distance.
As you have said that at this age, distance really count when you join the tournament , I have tried cut down lady's driver and fairway wood for her with little success. It just too heavy for her.
I was able to get a Japan spec lighter driver for her. She love it. However, She still needs a lighter version of fairway in order to close the distance gap in between driver and hybrid.
Thanks a lot for your sharing
Hi Max, There is a full set of junior shafts at San Ramon GC in the East Bay, but I have also spoken to Palo Alto Municipal, which is a little closer to you and can send them a set of junior shafts if you would like to take her there for a fitting.
What are the junior shafts? Best Regards, Arnold Reyes
Hi, Cathi,
Thanks for your help on this. My daughter current use US Kids Iron and she is fine with that. What I am looking for is fairway wood for her. I am not looking junior set.
Yesterday I was managing to get the club head weight of Titliest 910F 5W - 213g. Is this information accurate? 213g is similiar to X Hot fairway wood which he felt is too heavy. I am looking for 5W/4W club head weight is around 200 to 205g
Hi Max, Sorry for the confustion. What I meant by "set" is that we have a set of junior shafts, which include drivers, fairways, hybrids and irons. Bezel weights in the surefit heads can vary from 2 grams to 12 grams in the 910 heads. You may find that it is the entire club and not the dead weight of the head that you will be looking for as far as building a suitable club for your daughter.
Arnold R What are the junior shafts? Best Regards, Arnold Reyes
Hi Arnold, Here are the shafts in the junior shaft matrix.
Driver – Bassara W 50 Reg at 44", A-flex at 43" & 42", L-flex at 41"
Fairway - Bassara W 55 Reg at 41" and 40", A-flex at 39½", L-flex at 39"
Hybrid - Bassara W Hyb 60 Reg at 38½" & 37½", A-flex at 37", L-flex at 36½"
Iron – DG XP95 R100 36½", KuroKage 65 Reg 37", A-flex 36", KuroKage 50 L-flex at 35½"

text: The tale is simple on the surface--a few adventures in Chicago and New York's high life, with lots of real people and race-mixing events described (explicated by Thadious M. Davis's helpful introduction and footnotes). But underneath, it seethes with rage, guilt, sex, and complex deceptions. Irene fears losing her black husband to Clare, who seems increasingly predatory. Or is this all in Irene's mind? And is everyone wearing a mask? Larsen's book is a scary hall of mirrors, a murder mystery that can't resolve itself. It sticks with you. --Tim Appelo

Pope's butler convicted in leaks, given 18 months

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The pope's butler was convicted Saturday of stealing the pontiff's private documents and leaking them to a journalist in the gravest Vatican security breach in recent memory. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison, but the Vatican said a papal pardon was likely.
Judge Giuseppe Dalla Torre read the verdict aloud two hours after the three-judge Vatican panel began deliberating Paolo Gabriele's fate. Gabriele stood impassively as it was read out in the tiny wood-paneled tribunal tucked behind St. Peter's Basilica.
The sentence was reduced in half to 18 months from three years because of a series of mitigating circumstances, including that Gabriele had no previous record, had acknowledged that he had betrayed the pope and was convinced, "albeit erroneously" that he was doing the right thing, Dalla Torre said.
For now, he is serving his sentence under house arrest.
Will the Pope turn the other cheek? That remains to be seen as he's currently still in deliberation. I'm a bit disturbed that the Vatican actually has the ability to detain anyone though.

Once you start thinking about home remodeling, there are many different directions you could go. Before you begin such an project, you have to identify your goals as well as your budget. It's never a good idea to start a project without a clear idea of how much it's going to cost, how it's going to turn out and other crucial elements. To help you plan your next home remodeling endeavor, we've identified some sound guidelines to follow.
Home remodeling can either be a do-it-yourself project or something you hire someone to do for you. This will depend on your motivation, abilities, budget and the amount of time you have.
DIYers can take pride in their accomplishments, as well as keep their expenses down by not hiring any labor. You don't, however, want to find out in the middle of the project that you should have hired a pro. If something goes wrong and you have to call a professional, it will probably be more expensive than having a contractor do it from the beginning.
Building a deck or patio can be a way to make your home more comfortable. If you're thinking of building one yourself, it takes some careful preparation. You'll want to make your deck as convenient and comfortable as possible, and also located in a spot that you'll want to spend a lot of time. It's good to have a deck in a shady area so you'll be comfortable sitting there in the summer. Privacy can be another important issue, so think about where your deck will be in relation to other houses. Building your own deck can be a satisfying project, but if you have any doubts, consider hiring a trustworthy pro to do it. Before starting such a job on your own, be honest with yourself about the amount of time you have and your level of experience. Are you needing a little bit of additional info pertaining to Tucson AZ rental dumpsters take a look at this web page http://dumpsterrentaltucson.org/.
If you need more space, you may want to think about building an addition to your home. This can be anything from an extra bathroom to another bedroom to a home office. With an addition, you can instantly make your home more spacious and practical. There are all kinds of possibilities for additional space, whether it's for relaxing, living in or as a spare room for guests. If you mainly need extra space for storage, you may want to build a shed if you have room for one. These aren't very complicated to build, or you could just purchase one that's ready made. Consider if lack of space is making you uncomfortable and, if so, consider some kind of addition. It is important to plan ahead when doing any remodeling of your home. Make sure that you have any necessary permits, that you stay within your budget and that you have chosen materials that are appropriate for your needs. If you are hiring anyone, make sure you check out their credentials thoroughly. Your home remodeling project will be a triumph if you make sure to remember these recommendations.

Biden, NRA clash over gun control proposals; VP to send Obama his recommendations by Tuesday
WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite fresh opposition from the National Rifle Association, the Obama administration is assembling proposals to curb gun violence that would include a ban on sales of assault weapons, limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines and universal background checks for gun buyers.
Sketching out details of the plan Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden said he would give President Barack Obama a set of recommendations by next Tuesday. The NRA, one of the pro-gun groups that met with Biden during the day, rejected the effort to limit ammunition and dug in on its opposition to an assault weapons ban, which Obama has previously said he will propose to Congress.
"The vice president made it clear, made it explicitly clear, that the president had already made up his mind on those issues," NRA president David Keene said following the meeting. "We made it clear that we disagree with them."
Opposition from the well-funded and politically powerful NRA underscores the challenges that await the White House if it seeks congressional approval for limiting guns and ammunition and greatly expanding background checks. Obama can use his executive powers to act alone on some gun measures, but his options on the proposals opposed by the NRA are limited without Congress' cooperation.
Obama has pushed reducing gun violence to the top of his domestic agenda following last month's massacre of 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school. The president put Biden in charge of an administration-wide task force and set a late January deadline for proposals.
Judge: Evidence sufficient for Colorado theater shooting suspect to face trial on all counts
DENVER (AP) — A judge ruled late Thursday that there's enough evidence for James Holmes to face trial on charges that he killed 12 people and injured 70 others in a Colorado movie theater last summer.
Judge William Sylvester said prosecutors have established probable cause to proceed with all 166 felony counts they filed against him, including first-degree murder after deliberation, first-degree murder with extreme indifference and attempted murder. He ordered that Holmes continue to be held without bail.
Holmes is due to be arraigned Friday, but his defense attorneys filed papers Thursday afternoon saying he's not ready to enter a plea. Sylvester noted Holmes' attorneys will likely ask in court Friday that the arraignment be delayed.
Defense attorneys did not explain why they are not ready for arraignment. Their filing also objected to media requests to bring cameras into the courtroom. Other than during his brief initial appearance in July, cameras have been barred from court during Holmes' case.
Sylvester's ruling came after a three-day hearing earlier this week, in which prosecutors laid out their case against Holmes, 25.
10 Things to Know for Friday
Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about Friday:
A consensus is emerging to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, and tighten background checks.
US flu season strikes early and, in many places, hard; hospitals are swamped with the feverish
NEW YORK (AP) — From the Rocky Mountains to New England, hospitals are swamped with people with flu symptoms. Some medical centers are turning away visitors or making them wear face masks, and one Pennsylvania hospital set up a tent outside its ER to deal with the feverish patients.
Flu season in the U.S. has struck early and, in many places, hard.
While flu normally doesn't blanket the country until late January or February, it is already widespread in more than 40 states, with about 30 of them reporting some major hot spots. On Thursday, health officials blamed the flu for the deaths of 20 children so far.
Whether this will be considered a bad season by the time it has run its course in the spring remains to be seen.
"Those of us with gray hair have seen worse," said Dr. William Schaffner, a flu expert at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
Mali Islamists clash with military for first time in nearly a year, take key town
BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — The Islamists who rule northern Mali clashed with government forces for the first time in nearly a year, seizing a strategic city Thursday as the al-Qaida-linked militants pushed toward the government line of control in the center of the troubled country.
The capture of the city of Konna marks a dangerous escalation in the Islamists' confrontation with the Malian government, which is based hundreds of miles (kilometers) to the south in the capital, Bamako.
The fighting in central Mali also comes amid speculation that a regional military intervention to oust the extremists may not come until September at the earliest.
Malian President Dioncounda Traore asked France, Mali's former colonial power, for help to counter the advance of the extremists.
France's U.N. Ambassador Gerard Araud said Traore sent a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and a similar letter to French President Francois Hollande seeking assistance from France. Araud said Hollande will respond to the letter on Friday.
Sheriff: Calif. high school student planned attack on classmates; teacher talked him down
TAFT, Calif. (AP) — A 16-year-old student armed with a shotgun walked into a rural California high school on Thursday, shot one student and fired at others and missed before a teacher and another staff member talked him into surrendering, officials said.
The teen victim was in critical but stable condition, and the suspect, whose pockets were stuffed with ammunition, was still being interrogated, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said at a news conference Thursday evening.
The suspect used a shotgun that belonged to his brother and went to bed Wednesday night with a plan to shoot two fellow students, Youngblood said.
Surveillance video shows the alleged shooter trying to conceal the gun as he nervously entered Taft Union High School through a side entrance after school had started Thursday morning.
When the shots were fired, teacher Ryan Heber tried to get the more than two dozen students out a back door and engaged the shooter in conversation to distract him, Youngblood said. Campus supervisor Kim Lee Fields responded to a call of shots fired and also began talking to the teen.
Locals say shifting sea ice frees trapped killer whales in northern Canada, but fears continue
MONTREAL (AP) — About a dozen killer whales trapped under sea ice appeared to be free after the ice shifted, village officials in Canada's remote north said Thursday, while residents who feared they would get stuck elsewhere hired a plane to track them down.
The whales' predicament in the frigid waters of Hudson Bay made international headlines, and locals had been planning a rescue operation with chainsaws and drills before the mammals slipped away.
Tommy Palliser said two hunters from remote Inukjuak village reported that the waters had opened up around the area where the cornered whales had been bobbing frantically for air around a single, truck-sized hole in the ice. Officials said shifting winds might have pushed the ice away.
"It's certainly good news — that's good news for the whales," said Palliser, a business adviser with the regional government.
But fears remained that the whales might have been trapped elsewhere by the ever-moving ice. Some villagers were skeptical the killer whales had escaped harm, so the community hired an airplane to scan the region Thursday for signs of the pod.
Bombings kill 115 people in Pakistan, including 81 in sectarian attack on billiards hall
QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — A series of bombings killed 115 people across Pakistan on Thursday, including 81 who died in twin blasts on a bustling billiards hall in a Shiite area of the southwestern city of Quetta.
Pakistan's minority Shiite Muslims have increasingly been targeted by radical Sunnis who consider them heretics, and a militant Sunni group claimed responsibility for Thursday's deadliest attack — sending a suicide bomber into the packed pool hall and then detonating a car bomb five minutes later.
It was one of the deadliest days in recent years for a country that is no stranger to violence from radical Islamists, militant separatists and criminal gangs.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned Thursday's multiple attacks and the ongoing terrorist violence in Pakistan, saying "these heinous acts cannot be justified by any cause" and calling for the perpetrators to be brought to justice, U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said.
Violence has been especially intense in southwest Baluchistan province, where Quetta is the capital and the country's largest concentration of Shiites live. Many are ethnic Hazara who migrated from neighboring Afghanistan.
Remember that big asteroid that could hit Earth in 2036? Astronomers say never mind
WASHINGTON (AP) — Upon further review, a big scary-sounding asteroid is no longer even a remote threat to smash into Earth in about 20 years, NASA says.
Astronomers got a much better look at the asteroid when it whizzed by Earth on Wednesday from a relative safe 9 million miles away. They recalculated the space rock's trajectory and determined it wasn't on a path to hit Earth on April 13, 2036 as once feared possible.
At more than 1,060 feet wide, the rock called Apophis could do significant damage to a local area if it hit and perhaps even cause a tsunami. But it was not large enough to trigger worldwide extinctions. One prominent theory that explains the extinctions of dinosaurs and other species 65 million years ago says a six-mile-wide meteorite hit Earth and spewed vast amounts of dust into the air, cooling and darkening the planet.
About nine years ago, when astronomers first saw Apophis (uh-PAH'-fihs), they thought there was a 2.7 percent chance that it would smack into our planet. Later, they lowered the chances to an even more unlikely 1 in 250,000.
Now it's never mind.
Indiana boy abducted by grandparents in 1994 found living under different name in Minnesota
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indiana woman whose young son was abducted 19 years ago was screaming and "jumping up and down" after learning he was living in Minnesota under a different name, her husband said Thursday shortly after police announced they had found him.
Richard Wayne Landers Jr. was just 5 years old when he and his paternal grandparents, who were upset over custody arrangements, disappeared from Wolcottville, a town about 30 miles north of Fort Wayne.
Indiana State Police said the now 24-year-old Landers was found in Long Prairie, Minn., thanks in part to his Social Security number. His grandparents were living under aliases in a nearby town and confirmed his identity, investigators said.
Police declined to say whether the grandparents would face charges, citing the ongoing investigation.
Landers' mother, Lisa Harter, was "jumping up and down for joy" when investigators told her a few days ago that her son had been found, her husband Richard Harter told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

TIPS and TRICKS Graphics for Universal Apps
To celebrate the release of What it Takes for the iPad we thought we'd share the story of how we ended up converting an app that was originally built for iPhone only into a single universal app that works for all iOS devices. After reading through this you should have picked up some handy tips and tricks whilst also avoiding many of the common pitfalls when developing Universal Apps.
If you are more interested generally about how to develop, please see the first post in this tips and tricks series: TIPS and TRICKS For Outsourcing App Development We had developed the game in its entirety for iPhone. We then wanted to retrofit iPhone5 support and finally iPad support as a single Universal App. For each additional screen you want to support, you have essentially three options: 1) Use Auto Resize (autoresizing masks - iOS5 - possibly earlier) - whereby the screen will be extended and the graphical elements repositioned and/or stretched and the UI controls extended automatically by iOS. You can control the layout to some degree by tweaking the struts and springs rules on each element/control. This is fairly restrictive and you can only get the results you want on very simple screens. 2) Use Auto Layout. This requires a minimum deployment version of iOS6 and I have no experience using it but I understand that it's basically an improved version of the above. 3) Create a new layout (XIB) file each new screen size. This is clearly the most developer intensive but offers the most flexibility. For our game we weren't happy with the limitations that 1) presented. We also wanted to make proper use of the iPhone 5 screen unlike many of the currently popular word games out there who seem to have just done a 'quick hack' which doesn't make any productive use of the new screen space. So, we went with 3) which gave us the most control. Our main concern whilst adding iPad support was that having multiple copies of each graphical asset (potentially 5 copies of each to support iPhone, iphone retina, iphone5, ipad, ipad retina). This would cause the size of the app to increase significantly. Clearly we did not want it to go over the 50MB limit but ideally we wanted to keep in under 30MB. When developing for the iPhone initially we only ever included the retina @2x versions of the files. Non-retina iPhone such as the 3GS didnt seem to have a problem scaling down and displaying these images so I thought it would be a good idea to take this idea to the next level - only provide one copy of the images - the iPad retina ones - and let the other devices scale the images down accordingly. So our plan was to have a single set of iPad retina sized graphics and scale these down for all other devices where a scaled down version was required. Only in cases where graphics were a different shape (e.g. screen backgrounds, due to the screens having different aspect ratios) would multiple files be needed. The naming convention we used was an extension of Apple's recommended one, with our own addition of ~iphone5: - firstname.lastname@example.com - background@2x~iphone5.png - background@2x~ipad.png So at most now, we'd only need 3 images rather than 5 (not 6, because there is no non-retina iphone5). For our game we'd mostly only need one copy of each image. Initially this worked really well and had plenty of benefits. The graphics could be sliced at a single size. If anyone has sliced graphics before they will know it is a tedious process. Having to slice an entire games worth of graphics for potentially 5 different screen sizes would be nightmareish. The build size was also kept to the minimum whilst still providing the very best quality graphics for iPad with Retina. We experienced minimal visual artefacts caused by iOS downscaling the images - it turns out that iOS is pretty good at doing this. This is a good point actually, although the visual artefacts are minimal, you can further reduce the chances of problems by making sure your slice dimensions and positioning of elements within the image are multiples of 4 for the best quality (assuming that the images will be scaled by 0.25 for normal iPhone screens). We do have some slices which have odd dimensions and when dividing it by 2 or 4 you end up with fractional dimensions which has a greater potential to cause graphical issues. However, take a look at the game - it looks crisp and clear on any screen - so don't worry too much about this, you may just need to adjust the odd image if you experience any specific problems. So it looked great. However, we quickly noticed that the game would crash every so often on the iPad 2 and iPhone 3GS. We immediately knew this was due to the introduction of the larger graphical assets since the game is way stable and had not had a single crash in months of beta testing. These older devices have a limited memory and struggle to handle loading and downscaling huge images. Sure enough, when hooked up to the debugger, each crash was preceeded by a number of memory warnings. In short, there are three parts to this problem: 1) Large images use huge amounts of memory and scaling them down (probably) causes an even higher memory usage. 2) UIImages's imageNamed: actually caches all images in memory - so the more screens the users navigates through, the more memory gets used. 3) It turns out that iOS is pretty poor at clearing the cache when it receives a memory warning and eventually the game would crash (on older devices). In order to fix it we knew we were going to have to bite the bullet and provide smaller images for those devices which couldn't handle it. We knew that the 3GS was working well with iphone retina sized graphics so it was just a case of finding a happy medium where graphical memory usage was balanced with overall file size and no crashes occured on and device, even under very heavy load. Here's what we did: 1) Instead of rescaling and reslicing every image, we opted to use a shell script to automatically reduce the dimensions of every @2x image by half and save it with the same name but without the @2x suffix. Therefore we could continue to slice only at the largest size and had essentially automated the resizing. Apart from adding these new files to the project, we didn't have to do anything else as iOS automatically uses the correct image depending on the screen (using the @2x convention). 2) Further reduced the app size by disabling XCodes automatic PNG optimisation and using ImageOptim to optimise every image. 3) Used imageNamed: sparingly. Where we didnt wan't to explicitly cache the image (e.g. for the clock animation) we used imageWithContentsOfFile: instead. For our game screens this had a remarkable effect. Instead of the memory usage constantly going up as the clock ticks down, it stayed roughly the same throughout the entire round. We're pleased with the end result - great crisp retina graphics, supporting all devices all in an app size well under 40MB. We've also set ourselves up for further optimisations and have a few more ideas for reducing size and memory usage, whilst improving performance further. I'll save this for another post. Besides, we're pretty happy with this considering that Zynga's Scramble with Friends (iPhone only) is 40MB! Key Points: 1. The trick is to balance memory usage and app size. 2. Develop and slice all graphics at iPad retina size where a scaled down version will suit for other devices. Where different shape images are needed (e.g. backgrounds) then create them separately and name accordingly - e.g. background@2x~ipad.png 3. Save time and effort and slice all graphics only once - at the largest size. 4. Use a shell script to automatically down-scale all slices by half thereby automatically producing the non-retina version. 5. Use ImageOptim or another image optimiser to further reduce the build size. 6. Understand the differences between imageNamed and imagewithContentsOfFile. Use imageNamed wisely!

Today we are up for block #3 of the Virtual Quilting Bee!
What is the Virtual Quilting Bee? Go here for more info.
This block is designed by April Rosenthal of Prairie Grass Patterns. April designs uber-cool quilt patterns - you can see them in her shop. I'm so excited for this block! Above is the Kona solids version and below is the Happy Go Lucky version.And now I need to get cracking making mine! We've been out of town for Spring Break with the kids. I'm hoping I can get some good sewing time in this weekend.
Important instructions and reminders:
**NEW** If you are using a fat 1/8th bundle for your blocks - specifically a Happy Go Lucky fat 1/8 bundle - cut a 6 1/2" square from each fabric except the white on white dots. You will need to save these for your setting squares when the blocks are finished. If you do this, you shouldn't have to buy more fabric later, but still have plenty for your 16 pieced blocks.
Remember: these blocks will be 8" finished (that means when it is part of the finished quilt) meaning they will measure 8 1/2" unfinished (when you have the block pieced, but before it's part of a finished quilt.)
You only need to make 1 of each block for the quilt we will be making, but you can always make more if you want a bigger finished quilt or multiple quilts. :)
I'm so excited to see all the variations that people create. Feel free to share yours on the Virtual Quilting Bee Flickr Group if you like! I have loved seeing all the blocks so far.
Use the hashtag #virtualquiltingbee if you're sharing on Instagram or Twitter!
And as always, I will answer questions the best that I can in the comments section.
Have fun and happy weekend!
