Hibernia Atlantic to Build a New Cable Network for the Republic of Ireland
Blogs, colocation, Data Center, Global Telecommunications, IP Exchange, Marketing, Public Relations, Telco 2.0, Telecom, Telecommunications January 6th, 2009January 6th, 2009: For the first time ever, Hibernia Atlantic will connect Northern Ireland to Southern Ireland via a terrestrial fiber cable that will be built by Hibernia Atlantic in 2009 and will interconnect to their transAtlantic network connecting Ireland – for the FIRST TIME – directly to North America and Europe.
Not only will the terrestrial cable traverse 13 major cities, and new POPs for Hibernia, in the Republic of Ireland, it will connect to the southern part of the island by way of Dublin and will interconnect to Hibernia Atlantic's transAtlantic network that connects Europe to North America. This cable system will be the first to by-pass the congested European gateway city of London and will provide direct connectivity for communications into the full island of Ireland.
The press release was issued at 3am EST/local morning time in Ireland.
Other key interesting facts before you read the release for yourself include:
- Funding: the project, in part, is financed by the European Union's European Regional Development Fund
- The Network was commissioned by both the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI) for Northern Ireland, as well as the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (DCENR) for Ireland
- The new cable will link Armagh, Ballymena, Belfast, Coleraine, Londonderry, Omagh, Portadown and Strabane to Europe and North America. In additoin, the cable will also provide links to Letterkenny, Castleblayney, Dundalk, Drogheda and Monaghan.
This is a historic moment – as Hibernia will connect Ireland directly to the rest of the world and among themselves!
With Direct Connection to North America and Europe
Via New Submarine Communications Cable
SUMMIT, NJ & DUBLIN, IRELAND- January 6, 2009- Hibernia Atlantic,the only diverse transAtlantic submarine transport cable provider and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Columbia Ventures Corporation, today announces it has been selected to deploy a historic, new cable network for the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI) for Northern Ireland and the Department Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (DCENR) for the Republic of Ireland as part of Project Kelvin.
Project Kelvin is a joint €30 million initiative between DETI and DCENR and is partly funded through the EC INTERREG IVA programme. The new cable will link Armagh, Ballymena, Belfast, Coleraine, Londonderry, Omagh, Portadown and Strabane to Europe and North America. In addition, the cable will also provide links to Letterkenny, Castleblayney, Dundalk, Drogheda and Monaghan. This build marks another key milestone in Hibernia Atlantic's history, as the communications company is the first to deploy a cable from North America to this region.
This build is also notable for Northern Ireland and global companies alike, as it offers a new wealth of capacity and the ability to directly and securely connect to Canada, US, UK and mainland Europe.
Hibernia's Irish network will carry bandwidth with speed and accuracy directly to North America, avoiding the common and congested routes around London and New York waterways.
Hibernia will connect to their existing network by installing a branching unit (BU) in their northern transAtlantic cable, thus providing two secure routes, one from Northern Ireland to Canada and the US and another from Northern Ireland into the UK. This will create the only diverse cable system offering secure circuits between Europe and Ireland with a protected ring between Ireland and the UK (via London, Manchester and Southport). The submarine cable will also be linked to an international carrier hotel or telehouse facility in Coleraine, which will provide further access to other service providers and Hibernia Atlantic's new network Points of Presence (PoPs).
Hiberniawill also complete a cross-border build linking its existing communications network into the Northwest of Ireland, thereby reducing transAtlantic data latency and reducing the cost of international communications. With this link, network costs will compare very favourably with costs in Dublin and major UK cities while increasing competition in the international telecommunications market under the EU-funded ITERREG IV 2007- 2013 program.

Northern Ireland's Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, Arlene Foster, said: "This €30million investment will, for the first time, provide Northern Ireland with a direct telecommunications link to North America and greatly improve competition in the international telecommunications market.
"Northern Ireland businesses are competing more than ever for business in global markets. This project will deliver the kind of international telecommunications, companies located in London, Amsterdam, Dublin and New York already depend on. It will provide opportunities for Northern Ireland companies selling goods and services overseas but also improve our attractiveness to knowledge based inward investment." invest in our future. This project will transform how we connect to both North America and Europe. It will open up new markets and new trade opportunities for the region.
Arlene Foster continued: "The current difficult economic situation makes it even more important for Northern Ireland to
Republic of Ireland's Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources Eamon Ryan TD said, "I wish to congratulate Hibernia Atlantic on its successful bid for this contract. Project Kelvin will provide faster broadband at lower costs. This alone will assist Ireland and Northern Ireland in attracting foreign investment.
"This project will complement our outward connections already in place making our international telecoms infrastructure more resilient. Information will be swiftly, cheaply and reliably transferred.
"For the areas directly involved, the benefits will be manifold. With international connectivity, Ireland's north west will be Letterkenny, Monaghan and their surrounding areas will be attractive bases for businesses. Companies can set up in this region confident that they can operate successfully in the global market.
"Prices for connection will be benchmarked against other international telecoms hubs, such as Amsterdam and London. Project Kelvin will make Ireland a cost-effective base for international business."
Kenneth D. Peterson, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Hibernia Atlantic and Columbia Ventures Corporation, states, "It gives us great pleasure that Hibernia Atlantic is part of this historic build. About 160 years ago, my great-great-grandfather left County Down and my great-great-grandmother left County Meath and went to North America during a period of hard times. The new telecommunications infrastructure announced today carries special significance to me as it will facilitate unmatched communications throughout the island of Ireland and between Ireland, North America and the rest of Europe in a way my ancestors could not have imagined. We are pleased to be chosen to make this state-of-the-art network available and we look forward to driving further commerce and capacity into this area."
Bjarni Thorvardarson, CEO for Hibernia Atlantic, continues, "Additionally, this new build offers a secondary route to the south of Ireland and a low-latency protection path for the entire island of Ireland. The island can now deliver high capacity services to and from North America and other major European markets, empowering Ireland for further global commerce."

WASHINGTON – The man suspected of killing his mother and then gunning down more than two dozen people Friday at the Connecticut elementary school where she taught may have suffered from a personality disorder, law enforcement officials said.
Adam P. Lanza killed his mother at their home before driving her car to Sandy Hook Elementary School with three weapons – two handguns and a .223-caliber rifle – and carrying out the massacre and killing himself, officials said. Investigators were trying to learn as much as possible about the 20-year-old and questioned his older brother, who is not believed to have any involvement in the rampage.
A really rambunctious kid, as one former neighbor in Newtown, Conn., recalled him, adding that he was on medications. He was a son of an accountant and a schoolteacher.
So far, authorities have not spoken publicly of any possible motive. Witnesses said the shooter didn't utter a word.
His parents, Nancy and Peter Lanza, separated about a decade ago, and his mother, a kindergarten teacher at Sandy Hook, remained in the family's home with her sons, Adam and Ryan Lanza, according Ryan Kraft, now 25, who was a neighbor.
The separation hit the children hard, Kraft recalled.
When Nancy Lanza would go out to dinner with friends, she sometimes relied on Kraft to watch Adam Lanza, who was too boisterous for Ryan Lanza to manage. "He would have tantrums," Kraft said. "They were much more than the average kid." Yet he was not prone to violence, Kraft said.
"The kids seemed really depressed" by the breakup, Kraft said of the Lanza brothers. Ryan Lanza, 24, now lives in Hoboken, N.J. He was questioned by police Friday, but law enforcement officials said he was cooperating and is not suspected of having anything to do with the shootings.
Adam Lanza and his mother, Nancy, lived in a well-to-do part of Newtown, a prosperous community of 27,000 about 60 miles northeast of New York City.
A grandmother of the suspect – who is also the mother of the slain teacher – was too distraught to speak when reached by phone at her home in Brooksville, Fla.
"I just don't know, and I can't make a comment right now," Dorothy Hanson, 78, said in a shaky voice as she started to cry. She said she hadn't heard anything official about her daughter and grandsons. She declined to comment further and hung up.
Ryan Lanza told authorities that his brother was believed to suffer from a personality disorder and be "somewhat autistic"
Ryan Lanza had been extremely cooperative and was not under arrest or in custody, but investigators were still searching his computers and phone records. Ryan Lanza told law enforcement he had not been in touch with his brother since about 2010.
Brett Wilshe, a friend of Ryan Lanza's, said he sent him a Facebook message Friday asking what was going on and if he was OK. According to Wilshe, Lanza's reply was something along the lines of: "It was my brother. I think my mother is dead. Oh my God."
Adam Lanza attended Newtown High School, and several local news clippings from recent years mention his name among the school's honor roll students.
A neighbor in Newtown, Rhonda Cullens, said she knew Nancy Lanza from monthly get-togethers that the neighborhood women had a few years back.
"She was a very nice lady," Cullens said. "She was just like all the rest of us in the neighborhood, just a regular person."
Cullens recalled that Lanza liked to garden and to make her house look nice for the holidays. Lanza joked, though, that no one noticed because the house was out of view, up a hill, she said.
For several hours Friday, authorities and the news media misidentified the shooter as Ryan Lanza, who, like his father, is an accountant, a law enforcement official said.
The Wall Street Journal quoted a friend of Ryan Lanza's as saying that Lanza works for Ernst & Young. "He [is] a little shy, but very nice and sweet," the friend, Katie Colaneri, 24, of Hoboken, told the Journal.
Nancy Lanza put the best face possible on her domestic troubles, the former neighbor said. "Nancy was really pleasant," Kraft said. "She would come by the house and have a glass of wine with my mom." The couple's divorce was finalized in 2009, according to court records.
Beth Israel, who lived for a time on the same street as the Lanzas, recalled Adam Lanza as withdrawn, but not threatening in any way.
"Overall, I would just call him a socially awkward kid, I don't know, shy and quiet. Didn't really look you in the eye," Israel said in a telephone interview Friday night. "Just kind of a weird kid, maybe. I can't tell you any specific incidents why [I thought so]," she said.
Peter Lanza, a vice president and tax specialist at GE Energy Financial Services, is remarried and lives in Stamford, Conn., according to the Stamford Advocate. When he arrived home Friday and was approached by a reporter, the newspaper reported, he appeared "surprised and horrified" and declined to comment on the mass shooting.
A woman who is a close friend of Peter Lanza's became highly emotional in a brief telephone interview Friday. "His son was doing wonderfully," she said of Adam Lanza. "This is inconceivable. Peter adores his children. His son was doing so well."
Sandeep Kapur, who lives two doors down from the Lanza family in Newtown, said he did not know them and was unaware of any disturbances at the Lanza house in the three years that he and his family have been in the neighborhood.
He described the area as a subdivision of well-tended, 15-year-old homes on lots of an acre or more, where many people work at companies like General Electric, Pepsi and IBM. Some are doctors, and his next-door neighbor is a bank CEO, said Kapur, a project manager at an information technology firm.
"The neighborhood's great. We have young kids, and they have lots of friends," he said. "If you drive past this neighborhood, it gives you a really warm feeling."

Mountain biking has been a popular sport for years now. It essentially involves riding bicycles in rough hilly or mountainous terrain. The bicycles used for this type of activity are specially designed to tolerate impacts, be easily maneuverable, absorb shock, and resist tire puncture. Here are a few tips concerning mountain bikes and mountain biking:
Get a Good Bike
The old saw that you tend to "get what you pay for" applies to mountain bikes as much as it does to anything else. Paying a bit more and investing in a good mountain bike more will mean that you get a bike you can rely on to take the punishment associated with mountain biking. Especially if you plan to do serious trail riding, a well made mountain bike can really make a difference. Higher end bikes are generally stronger as well as lighter. They thus offer benefits on both the level of safety and riding ease.
Scan Ahead while Riding
When riding on rough terrain and mountain trails, it is important to shift the focus from what is immediately in front of you to the trail ahead at a range of about 5 to 10 feet. This will guard against being surprised by sudden obstacles. When obstacles appear too abruptly, there may not be time to avoid them effectively and a crash can result.
Do not Focus on Riders Ahead
When riding in groups, do not focus on the back and rear wheels of riders ahead. Instead, scan the trail itself. You need knowledge and perception of what is in the trail and where it is leading and looking at the rider in front of you can't give you a complete sense of this. If they have a sudden collision or are not paying attention themselves, you might find yourself right on top of them before you know it.
Do not Overinflate Tires
Tires that are too firmly inflated are not recommended for rougher mountain and trail biking. The wheels absorb shock and impact best if they are inflated only to a certain pressure. They should still have some appreciable give to them when you press on them with your finger.
Do Periodic Maintenance Checks and Procedures
Mountain bikes need to be maintained regularly, not merely left in the garage or outdoors between rides. They should be thoroughly checked each week or two for signs of wear, damage, or malfunction. They should be periodically oiled, the tires should be inflated to desired pressure levels, and so on. Household or penetrating oils can be used not only to lubricate parts but also to protect against rust.
Mountain biking is a fun and adventurous sport. Observe good safe riding habits and keep your bicycle in good condition to get the maximum pleasure out of your mountain biking experience.

It is a bit difficult to talk about beginner friendly bikes because bikes are not necessarily designated that way. They are designated more so by function, cost, and number of speeds. But that said, there are still some characteristics you can look for in a bicycle that make them in one way or another somewhat more suitable for beginners than advanced bikers. Let's take a look at some of these characteristics:
Number of Speeds
Chances are beginning bike riders will not be very familiar with changing gears as they ride. Thus it could be argued that bikes with fewer speeds are better for beginners. These would be your 10 and 12 speed bikes. The lower number of speeds will allow the biker to get acclimated to the various gears and with the shifting action as they ride without getting bogged down by too many possibilities.
Easy Shift Gears
Many bikes today feature more easily shiftable gears than the bikes of the past. They may sport, for instance, numbered gear markings and spring assisted shifting levers. These will also be easier for a beginner to use while riding. Less attention will have to be devoted to the gear shifting and more can be placed on the riding itself.
Child Bikes
Many beginner bike riders are, of course, children. Thus a beginner bike is often a small child sized bike. Small bikes for children aged, say, 5 to 14 fall into the beginner bicycle category. These bikes are sized to fit a particular age group and are available in a wide variety of price ranges.
Tricycles and Bikes with Training Wheels
Tricycles and bikes with training wheels could be considered beginner friendly bicycles in the truest sense. These bikes assist younger children (and possibly disabled people) in maintaining balance while they ride. Again, they can be found at many different locations and prices. If there is any sense that a child or other individual may fall repeatedly on a regular bike, tricycles and training wheels are a good option which will allow them to develop balance and confidence.
A Word about Safety
Safety is important for all bike riders, but it is especially important for beginners. Beginners should wear bike helmets and if possible and either clothing that is not too loose and baggy or specially designed bicycle clothing. In the event of a fall a helmet protects the head, and the tight fitting clothes guard against the possibility of clothing getting caught in the quickly turning wheels.
The above characteristics and attributes are ones to consider if you are looking for beginner friendly bicycles. Protect the safety and well being of beginning bicycle riders and foster their biking skill development by selecting a bicycle and safety gear that is appropriate for their level.

H. Au- den, first speaker in the series for the benefit of the,Chinese Scholar- ly ship Fund. The Auden group began a liter- ary movement to%bring art into contact with life. Since profes- sional politicians were not taking the Chinese and Spanish wars ser- iously, they felt they had to be- come reportorfal, and to give the public a social-conscience. Mr. Auden confessed they all enjoyed those years very much, feeling "terribly important." The trouble was not their subject matter, but that they were writing news and not doing it as well as professional journalists. Mr. Auden believes the trend of art is now definitely away from reportage and political subjects. "A writer is more apt to do a Biography of Erasmus during a war than a White Cliffs of Dover," but whatever they write it will be relevant to contemporary events, though it may not mention air- planes or submarines. "I find my- self interested in finding out what kind of mind it's possible to fight a war on," he confessed.

This rule will apply to Seniors. Alfred Hamilton Barr, Jr., di- rector of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, will be the speaker for the Flexner Lectures next year. He received his A.B. and A.M. degrees at Princeton and studied further at Harvard. He has been instructor in history of art at Vassar, assistant in fine arts and archeology at Princeton, and since 1929, director of the Museum. He is also a trustee for the insti- tute of Modern Art in Boston, and was one of the editors of Art In America. Mr. Barr's lectures will probably be on Aspects of Modern Art, and it is hoped that exhibits can be brought to the college and shown during his say here. First Aid Maintains Priority in Popularity As Defense Courses Complete Fourth Week By Sally Mam-son, '43 After four weeks of the new de- fense courses, all sorts of people find themselves equipped to do all sorts of things. The air raid war- dens have been whizzed through a streamlined First Aid course, pruned down to cover only those injuries which would be likely to occur in case of "an incident," as they call it. Snake bites were omitted. Bryn Mawr's noble fire-fighters brought their stirrup - pump and bucket brigade technique into play in a gallant, though somewhat in- effectual, battle with a bonfire be- hind the power house. They have also had proved to them by �Dmc distressingly convincing movies that a magnesium bomb is almost impossible to extinguish. The people taking the course in office techniques are seeing a light- er side of the defense picture. They are setting up, in theory, a branch of a Union, Maine, home-made food concern on Peach Street, in Wilmington, Delaware. In consid- ering all the problems which would face the founder of a new office, they write reports home to Union, see that there is enough room around each desk, and map out the floor-space so that the routes most traveled by the office workers will intersect as little as possible. The placement of the water-cooler seems to be a vital factor. Bed-making and a nice-smile- for-the-patient are the things peo- ple learn in Nurses' Aid. Over in the Bryn Mawr Hospital last week they practiced giving Mrs. Page a bed-bath. Mrs .Page is a life-sized doll minus hands and feet, with her joints patched with adhesive plaster. This week the Nurses' Aiders will work on themselves. Standard First Aid is the way most of the people have chosen to be on the alert. Every Tuesday and Wednesday night hordes troop down to the gym, where sometimes, kneeling in a large circle, they salaam in a peculiar way to the mystical refrain, "forward, swing, release, rest, rest." At other times they beset Miss Jaeger with para- doxes: "If you were being chsaed by a bear and the only way of escape was by swimming across a river, but you had just had a large meal 15 minutes ago, what would you dp?" What would you do?

Elections to be Held Next Week Faculty Committee Approves Three Year Acceleration Program Committee, Major Dep'j Must Agree to Plans Of Individuals The Curriculum Committee, in a meeting on February 23, 1942, passed on plans for an accelerated college program. The committee recommended to the faculty that certain students for whom an accelerated program is important be allowed to complete the work for the B.A. degree in less than four years. All plans for such acceleration will have to be approved in advance by the Com- mittee on Curriculum, the student's major department, the department in which the summer work is to be done. Acceleration is expected to be carried out at special summer sessions (longer than the usual summer school) at approved uni- versities. Miss Ward presented a report on her study of the problems of an ac- celerated program. She has met interested students of the Junior and Sophomore Classes. Freshmen will be interviewed shortly. Many of the students were advised to pursue more profitable alternatives. Some of the students have serious reasons for acceleration such as entrance to medical school, gradu- ate school and defense positions. Frances Matthai was elected president of the Self-Govcrnment Association in the revote held on March 3. The revote was between Frances Matthai and Barbara Sage. On Thursday, March 5. there will be revoting between Sally Matte- son and Barbara Sage for president of the Undergraduate Association.

Potential Fifth Columnists See Processes For Making Supposedly Non-Existent Tires By Barbara Hull, '44 Making tires is not a simple pro- cedure. We realize this after per- sonally inspecting the Lee tire fac- tory in Conshohocken. In spite of the fact that production is being curtailed, they are making tires for military and essential defense purposes. We were able to follow the entire process from the piles of crude rubber to the last paint job on the Lee trade mark. s We waited anxiously in a huge room filled with busily clicking comptometers and typewriters, wondering whether war production would scare the authorities into thinking that we were fifth col- umnists in disguise. Finally we were introduced to "Frank," who led us past racks of unmolded tires to a large room containing bales of crude rubber. These were about two feet long and a foot square, grey in color. Here he began his lecture, trying to keep it as untechnical as possible. He had apparently decided that we were not science majors. Even so, with the noise of the factory and the unfamiliar terms, we required repeated explanations, after which Frank often replied,) "Sure, clear as mud," to our nods of under- standing. We watched the crude rubber come out of the "hot box," broken down into smaller pieces ready to be loaded with sulphur and other , materials into wagons which were weighed to determine whether the correct amounts were present. Our guide explained that the ingredi- ents were varied for the different stocks. An exact temperature of 278 degrees was maintained in the squeezing machine by means of refrigeration. This steady heat and pressure reduced the raw ma- terials to a bubbly, uneven sheet of black dough-like texture. A cocoa smell was identified as car- bon. From a complicated system of belts and pulleys, wer which the rubber was run, Frank pulled a sample to illustrate that this was now being "cracked" to complete blending. The impure molten mass was then forced through a machine on a conveyor belt, coming out in uniform strips, which were weigh- ed and shot up to the fourth floor. Things here became a bit hazy and there were so many pressing and cutting machines making Continued on Page Six

Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer. It is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Most skin cancers are basal cell cancer.
Basal cell carcinoma is almost always a slow-growing form of skin cancer.
Other common types of skin cancer are:
Basal cell skin cancer; Rodent ulcer; Skin cancer - basal cell; Cancer - skin - basal cell; Nonmelanoma skin cancer; Basal cell NMSC
Basal cell cancer starts in the top layer of the skin called the epidermis. Most basal cell cancers occur on skin that is regularly exposed to sunlight or other ultraviolet radiation.
This type of skin cancer is most common in people over age 40. But it can occur in younger people who have had extensive sun exposure.
You are more likely to get basal cell cancer if you have:
Basal cell cancer grows slowly and is usually painless. It may not look that different from your normal skin. You may have a skin bump or growth that is:
In some cases, the skin is just slightly raised or even flat.
You may have:
Your doctor will check your skin and look at the size, shape, color, and texture of any suspicious areas.
If your doctor thinks you might have skin cancer, a piece of skin will be removed. This is called a skin biopsy . The sample is sent to a lab for examination under a microscope.
A skin biopsy must be done to confirm basal cell skin cancer or other skin cancers.
Treatment depends on the size, depth, and location of the skin cancer, and your overall health.
Treatment may involve any of the following:
Most of these cancers are cured when treated early. Some basal cell cancers return. Smaller ones are less likely to come back. Basal cell carcinoma almost never spreads to other parts of the body.
Basal cell skin cancer almost never spreads. But, left untreated, it may grow (spread) into surrounding areas and nearby tissues and bone.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if if you have a sore or spot on your skin that changes in:
Also call if a spot becomes painful or swollen or if it starts to bleed or itch.
The American Cancer Society recommends that a health care provider examine your skin every year if you are older than 40 and every 3 years if you are 20 to 40 years old. You should also examine your own skin once a month.
The best way to prevent skin cancer is to reduce your exposure to sunlight. Always use sunscreen and learn how to protect yourself from the sun .

Newborn jaundice is when a baby has a high level of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow substance that the body creates when it replaces old red blood cells. The liver helps break down the substance so it can be removed from the body in the stool.
High levels of bilirubin make your baby's skin and whites of the eyes look yellow. This is called jaundice.
Jaundice of the newborn; Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia; Bili lights - jaundice
It is normal for a baby's bilirubin level to be a bit higher after birth.
When the baby is growing in the mother's womb, the placenta removes bilirubin from the baby's body. The placenta is the organ that grows during pregnancy to feed the baby. After birth, the baby's liver starts doing this job. It may take some time for the baby's liver to be able to do this efficiently.
Most newborns have some yellowing of the skin , or jaundice. This is called "physiological jaundice." It is often most noticeable when the baby is 2 - 4 days old. Most of the time it does not cause problems and goes away within 2 weeks.
Two types of jaundice may occur in newborns who are breastfed. Both types are most often harmless.
Severe newborn jaundice may occur if your baby has a condition that increases the number of red blood cells that need to be replaced in the body, such as:
Things that make it harder for the baby's body to remove bilirubin may also lead to more severe jaundice, including:
Babies who are born too early (premature) are more likely to develop jaundice than full-term babies.
Jaundice causes a yellow color of the skin. The color sometimes begins on the face and then moves down to the chest, belly area, legs, and soles of the feet.
Sometimes, infants with a lot of jaundice may be very tired and feed poorly.
Doctors, nurses, and family members will watch for signs of jaundice at the hospital and after the newborn goes home.
Any infant who appears jaundiced should have bilirubin levels measured right away. This can be done with a blood test.
Many hospitals check total bilirubin levels on all babies at about 24 hours of age. Hospitals use probes that can estimate the bilirubin level just by touching the skin. High readings need to be confirmed with blood tests.
Tests that will likely be done include:
Further testing may be needed for babies who need treatment or whose total bilirubin levels are rising more quickly than expected.
Treatment is not needed most of the time.
When treatment is needed, the type will depend on:
A baby will need treatment if the bilirubin level is too high or is rising too quickly.
A baby with jaundice needs to be kept well hydrated with breast milk or formula.
Some newborns need to be treated before they leave the hospital . Others may need to go back to the hospital when they are a few days old. Treatment in the hospital usually lasts 1 to 2 days.
Sometimes special blue lights are used on infants whose levels are very high. These lights work by helping to break down bilirubin in the skin. This is called phototherapy .
If the bilirubin level is not too high or is not rising quickly, you can do phototherapy at home with a fiberoptic blanket, which has tiny bright lights in it. You may also use a bed that shines light up from the mattress.
In the most severe cases of jaundice, an exchange transfusion is required. In this procedure, the baby's blood is replaced with fresh blood. Giving babies with very bad jaundice intravenous immunoglobulin may also be effective at reducing bilirubin levels.
Newborn jaundice is not harmful most of the time. For most babies, jaundice will get better without treatment within 1 to 2 weeks.
Very high levels of bilirubin can damage the brain. This is called kernicterus . However, the condition is almost always diagnosed before levels become high enough to cause this damage.
For babies who need treatment, the treatment is very often effective.
Rare, but serious complications from high bilirubin levels include:
All babies should be seen by a health care provider in the first 5 days of life to check for jaundice.
Jaundice is an emergency if the baby has a fever, has become listless, or is not feeding well. Jaundice may be dangerous in high-risk newborns.
Jaundice is generally NOT dangerous in babies who were born full term and who do not have other medical problems. Call the infant's health care provider if:
In newborns, some degree of jaundice is normal and probably not preventable. The risk of serious jaundice can often be reduced by feeding babies at least 8 to 12 times a day for the first several days and by carefully identifying infants at highest risk.
All pregnant women should be tested for blood type and unusual antibodies. If the mother is Rh negative, follow-up testing on the infant's cord is recommended. This may also be done if the mother's blood type is O+, but it is not needed if careful monitoring takes place.
Careful monitoring of all babies during the first 5 days of life can prevent most complications of jaundice. This includes:

Letters to the Editor - Feb. 6, 2013
Wednesday, February 6, 2013 Deception
To the editor: Dover is fortunate to have Mike Crago as a member of the Dover City Council and Mrs. Doris Grady as a member of the Dover School Board.
This is shameful and unprofessional conduct. In the private sector those engaging in this kind of activity would be let go. Ignorance
You want to end "high-capacity magazine" sales. You make the ridiculous statement that, "It use to be that citizens had a chance to get away from a shooter when he stopped to reload." Carol two things about that statement. Maybe in the late 1800s that were true when the revolver was king, but semi-auto have been around since 1896. And in my world when the bad guy stops to re-load is the perfect time to shoot him! And just for the record, do you know how long it takes to change a magazine? About two seconds. Magazine capacity is a red herring fostered by only the ignorant and those on the Liberal Left.
As I said once before, you were sent to Washington to do the bidding of the people of New Hampshire and not to blindly vote as the administration tells you to. The 2nd Amendment has little or nothing to do with hunting and sport and everything to do with protecting the Constitution and allowing the People to be the final arbitrator of their future. You took an oath to protect the Constitution and that includes the Bill of Rights ... all of the Bill of Rights, not just the parts that you like. Why in Maine?
No chains
Contact your local animal control officer, police department, humane society, if you find a domestic animal lacking shelter, who is emaciated, or in poor condition. There is also much you can do yourself to help a suffering or neglected animal. Offer to take or buy her, sometimes money is an incentive. If that doesn't work, ask if you can help take care of the animal, by feeding, grooming, walking, etc. Never pass by an animal in need — your help may literally be the difference between life and death. Life saved
Dr. Eskle (who took him under her wing and called everyday when she wasn't in the office) and all of the staff saved our Yoda's life. We will forever be in debt to them. They loved our sweet cat as much as we do, and we can never thank them enough! They truly love their patients! Propaganda
You maintain that abortion is a "personal" decision. In fact, abortion terminates a baby and may deprive a father of his child. I'd say that's a lot more than personal. Knows nothing

Blood Pact: What's going on with 'locks in patch 5.4
There's a lot of changes besides the usual number tweaking to warlocks in patch 5.4. We'll wrap up the say before patch with a loot list, but here's a prose version of what the patch notes mean before we get into the shiny gear drops.
Overall, there's probably a small nerf in damage since heavy movement fights will affect us once again. Our damage is shifting to our DoTs primarily with some support either from fillers on the move or a twist on our Dark Soul cooldown, depending on the level 90 talent we choose. Since the RPPM system has been tweaked a little to account for haste affecting not only proc bonus but proc chance, we also may see a shift from haste gearing to more solid mastery gearing, also since mastery for all three warlocks boosts damage done in our top damage spells.
But check after the break for more specific changes.

I think they played a damn good defensive game.
They outplayed Detroit. They shut down their offense, kept the shots to the outside and didn't give them many good scoring chances down low...and the handful they did have, Elliott was the man.
They played very well and deserved the win.
Here come the Blues.
Not ugly as in not effective, but ugly as in we weren't playing good puck possession, making pretty tape-to-tape passes, doing creative moves forcing Wings defenders out of position, etc. Look at Porter's goal- it was so ugly it made Mike Ricci better looking. I don't think anyone would describe that as a "pretty" game, aside from the fact that a shutout of Detroit is always a beautiful thing in itself.

this ring my bf got me as an engagement ring is absolutely gorgeous! i love it very much. it looks wonderful on my petite hand, large but not obnoxious looking. it actually looks kinda like a castle of diamonds! love the high sparkle of every one of the 41 diamonds it has! the size came perfectly fit to my petite finger as well. i highly recommend this ring or something similar for that non traditional bride!
Super fast shipping. Ring looked great. My wife wears a size 7 but the ring is kind of loose on her finger. But overall very happy with it. She gets nonstop compliments on it. Its a real eye catcher.
Great ring, when I gave it to my wife she broke down in tears cause of how beautiful it was.
There's no question that the style of this ring is beautiful. The image shows a beautiful piece and It's vintage styling is spot-on. HOWEVER - If the ring I received was more like the picture, I would've been exceptionally happy with this purchase. Sadly, the center diamond on this ring had LARGE, visable flaws. It was almost as though the surface of the diamond was covered in scratches. When held up to the sun, the flaws were throughout the diamond making the diamond appear cloudy. To say that this purchase was a dissappointment is an understatement.
I proposed with this ring and she loved very much, has a nice unique feel to it. She keeps getting compliments on it...great product!
My fiance got me this ring as my engagement ring. I absolutely loooooooooove it. It sparkles in the light and i get numerous compliments on it. The black diamonds are gorgeous. It is big, but not obnoxious looking. Its just right! :)
My fiance got this ring for my engagement ring and it is just great. It's the perfect size for my hand, not bulky at all. It's such a gorgeous ring.

Mooslism is founded upon the Great Moose, Moosalhama's teachings.
Moosalhama's teachings greatly offended the Lumberjacks of the greater Canada area, because they taught peace, love, nachos, and harmony...and that Lumberjacks wore frilly women's clothing (which has never been disproved). So he was executed, then his head brutally displayed above a fireplace as a warning to all who might follow in his hoofsteps.
But now that the mighty Lumberjack nation has fallen, Mooslism has spread across the land, bringing joy and light to an otherwise dark and smelly world.
The seven Commandments of Mooslism.
1. Honor thy moose
2.Give worship unto the moose every tuesday and second monday of the month.
3.Give up all worldy possessions, for they restrain you from achieving total Moose/man bondage.
4.To ascend to Moosevana, thou must visit Toronto, Canada at least once in your life.
5.Do not use the name of thy savior, Moosalhama, in vain.
6. Thou shall honor other religions...except mormons.
7.Thou shall dine uponst cheesy nachos every sabbath day

Rich, moist gingerbread cake for Christmas
Sunday, December 9, 2012
Associated Press There is no subtle way to say this. This cake screams Christmas. To start with, it's gingerbread, the aroma alone of which is embedded in the definition of this holiday. That aroma, of course, is paired with an ultra-rich, moist cake that is at once dense, but also light. Then there is the sugar crisp caramelized sides of the cake, which only build to the tender, sweet lemony pear slices that crown the cake. |

Growing Beyond Borders, Minimising Risks
28 November, 2011 | (01 hr)
Sign In to access this Webcast
One of the puzzles of the sluggish global economy today is why companies aren't investing more. They certainly seem to have good reasons to: corporate coffers are full, interest rates are low, and a slack economy inevitably offers bargains. Yet many companies seem to be holding back.
Growing across borders can be expensive, risky and dangerous if not well-researched and planned. Knowing how to adapt your products and services to local cultures and customers makes the difference between winning and withdrawing. Many factors are involved to ensure success, including ensuring your organisation's capabilities align with those required to do international business. Another is having the right global mindset inside the organization to allow it to bring learning and innovation inside from other markets. Rather than under-invest in Sales, Marketing And Product Development for new markets, explore how to successfully and methodically expand your business internationally. These and other aspects will be examined during this webcast. Please join us.
Participants will:
- Explore how to gather intelligence and build a plan for building an international business
- Learn ways to describe business cultures and assess their impact on the business and its target markets
- Assess what constrains companies when expanding internationally, including access to local knowledge and research
- Directors/Managers responsible for international growth of their organization
- Anyone who manages, reports to, leads individuals or teams (internal or external) based in an overseas market

"Every journalist killed or neutralized by terror is an observer less of the human condition. Every attack distorts reality by creating a climate of fear and self-censorship." Barry James in "Press Freedom: Safety of Journalists and Impunity" - UNESCO Publications - 2002
2013 has been deadly: 76 journalists were killed, more than a hundred if you count also the "citizen journalists " and hundreds were imprisoned, sometimes tortured . In this context, women and bloggers are particularly vulnerable targets. However, 90% of these crimes are unpunished.
That is why France and Guatemala held on 13 December a thematic meeting of the Security Council to discuss ways to improve the safety of journalists in the field.
This event, which was attended by states, UN officials, journalists and members of civil society , allowed to hear testimonies of information professionals who have worked in dangerous situations, to take stock of the implementation of resolution 1738 of the Security Council , and to examine ways for the international community to increase the safety of journalists in the world.
Journalists, media professionals and associated staff play an essential role in informing the public and the international community. This is all the more so in situations of armed conflict, where access to information may be difficult. They witness what is happening on the ground, gather and disseminate information about events and can help identify serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law.
The work of journalists in armed conflict can be dangerous. In a hostile environment, the parties to the conflict may consider them unwanted witnesses and want to obstruct their mission. The protection of journalists in armed conflict is therefore of vital importance in order to ensure their safety as well as the freedom of information.
International humanitarian law does not provide for any specific protection of journalists in armed conflict. Under article 79 of the Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions of 1949 "journalists engaged in dangerous professional missions in areas of armed conflict shall be considered as civilians". Thus, all international humanitarian law applicable to civilians also applies to journalists. (For more information, see protection of civilians).
The protection of journalists as civilians is however not absolute and ceases when they take part in hostilities by making a direct and effective contribution to the military action and for as long as they so participate (article 79(2) of the Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions and Rule 34 of customary international humanitarian law). According to the International Committee of the Red Cross, hostile acts that bear witness to direct participation in hostilities are acts of war which, by their very nature or purpose, endanger the personnel or equipment of the enemy armed forces.
Despite the existence of protective norms, threats to the freedom of information and the safety of journalists working in areas of conflict are constantly increasing and are seldom punished.
On 26 November 2013, the UN General Assembly adopted the first resolution on "Safety of journalists and the issue of impunity". Supported by France and cosponsored by 76 other countries, the resolution was adopted by consensus.
On France's initiative, the resolution proclaims 2 November as "International Day To End Impunity For Crimes against Journalists." The date was chosen in honor of Ghislaine Dupont and Claude Verlon, two French journalists who were murdered in Mali on 2 November 2013.
The text acknowledges that journalism has evolved and includes various forms, including information on the internet.
It urges States to do their utmost to prevent violence against journalists and media workers, to conduct impartial and speedy investigations on all alleged violence, and to bring the perpetrators of such crimes to justice.
Finally, the text endorsed the United Nations Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity adopted in 2012.
At the instigation of France and Greece, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution S/RES/1738 (2006) on the protection of civilians in armed conflict aimed at preventing acts of violence against journalists.
Resolution 1738, which is the first Security Council text devoted to the protection of journalists in armed conflicts, expresses the Council's concern regarding the lack of adherence to existing rules and recalls the relevant body of legislation applicable. It therefore reaffirms the basic principles of the protection of civilians in UNSCRs 1265 (1999), 1296 (2000), 1674 (2006) and states that this protection includes journalists, media professionals and associated personnel.
So the purpose of UNSCR 1738 is not to fill a gap in the law but to remind parties to a conflict (states and non-state entities) of their obligations with respect to protection, prevention and the fight against impunity.
UNSCR 1738 also provides for the UN Secretary-General to devote a section of his reports on the protection of civilians in periods of armed conflict to the safety of journalists
During an open debate convened by the American presidency on this topic on 17 July 2013, four journalists gave for the first time the Security Council an account of their experience as professionals in armed conflicts, subject to pressure through torture, harassment, sexual violence and murder.
The representative of France called for the end of the culture of impunity for the perpetrators of these crimes as a first step to ensure the full protection of the journalist.
Resolution 1738 has become the point of reference for the protection of journalists and has been cited in a number of Security Council resolutions on this issue, in particular UNSCRs 1910 on Somalia (2010), 1973 on Libya (2011) and 1974 on Afghanistan (2011).
In recent years, UNESCO has integrated the safety of journalists into its program to promote the freedom of expression. The third report by the Director-General on the safety of journalists and impunity for the perpetrators of these acts was presented in March 2012. Within this framework, UNESCO also adopted in April 2012 a "UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity". This report aims to tackle the lack of safety of media professionals.
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) also plays a key role in raising awareness of the issue, notably through its reports to the Human Rights Council. It works closely with the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, the Special Rapporteur on the question of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment and the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression. The mandate of the last of these includes "gathering […] all relevant information concerning instances […] of acts of violence targeting media professionals seeking to exercise the right to freedom of opinion and expression."
A panel discussion on the protection of journalists in armed conflict took place at the 14th session of the Human Rights Council.
On 22 and 23 November 2012, an Inter-Agency meeting took place in Vienna and brought together representatives of the United Nation's agencies, medias, governments, the civil society and independent experts, in order to formulate an implementation strategy for the UN's Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity.
This strategy had to take into account the evolving media landscape and ensure that the laws protect not only journalists, but also bloggers and new media reporters. Four countries have been selected for the first step of the implementation: Iraq, Nepal, Pakistan and South Sudan.
The protection of journalists in armed conflict and respect for international humanitarian law and human rights are a priority for France. Thus, at the national level, France is also developing a strategic plan for the protection of civilians in armed conflict, notably reiterating its commitment to strengthening the protection of journalists and the respect for the freedom of information and opinion.

The difference in paganism and Christianity is the fruit it produces. Yesterday as well as today. And this too is covered in " The Ever War."

Again, no one knows. Currently, there is a christian group somewhere in Europe that celebrates Christmas Day as Jan 6th or 7th. They have been doing so for centuries. So, for them, the whole pagan holiday, winter solstice, etc...doesn't even come into play.
