Excessive crying (infants 0-6 months)
Infants normally cry about 1 to 3 hours a day. It is perfectly normal for an infant to cry when hungry, thirst, tired, lonely, or in pain. It is also normal for a baby to have a fussy period in the evening.
However, if an infant cries too often it may be a sign of something that needs treatment.
Home care depends on the causes. Follow your health care provider's advice.
If the infant seems constantly hungry despite short, frequent feedings, talk to your doctor or nurse about normal growth and feeding times.
If crying is due to boredom or loneliness, it may be helpful to touch, hold, and talk to the infant more and place the infant within sight. Place baby-safe toys where the child can see them. If crying is due to sleep disturbance, wrap the baby firmly in a blanket before putting the infant to bed.
For excessive crying in infants due to cold, dress the infant warmly or adjust the temperature. Typically, if adults are cold, the baby is cold also.
Always check for possible causes of pain or discomfort in a crying baby. When cloth diapers are used, look for diaper pins that have become loose or loose threads that have become tightly wrapped around fingers or toes. Diaper rashes also can be uncomfortable.
Take your baby's temperature to check for fever. Check your baby head-to-toe for any injuries. Pay particular attention to the fingers, toes, and genitalia. It is not uncommon for a hair to get wrapped around part of your baby, such as a toe, creating pain.
Call your doctor or nurse if:
The doctor or nurse will examine your baby and ask questions about the child's medical history and symptoms. Questions may include:
The doctor or nurse will check the infant's growth and development. Antibiotics may be prescribed if the baby has a bacterial infection.

Name: Aaron Falkner
Teacher, or Student?: Student, Delinquent (Depends who you ask though. Some think he skips classes, but he likes to hide.)
Age: 16
Year: Freshman
Weapons: Bow and Arrows (Camouflaged bow that changes with the environment, also collapsible, explained later)
Class/Race: Ranger/Human
Gender/Sexuality: Male/Straight
Personality: Well, to be honest, he's mostly a mercenary. Incredibly greedy, he does any job for the right price, and most of the time it's pretty cheap. Quite skilled at distances and traps, he's great for payback or even just scare tactics. Because of his history of a hunter, he tends to hide in the shadows, even for normal activities, like classes. But, un-like a hunter, he does like to talk, which creeps some people out because they can't see him. He also has one annoying habit, he can never lie. A nasty little trick his parents trained him, it's impossible for him to lie, literally. In fact, he often just spurts it out randomly, which makes his job as a hired hand a pain some times.
Appearance: He stands around 5'3, pretty short for a hunter, but it makes it easy to hide. He has short brown hair and brown eyes, and a white complexion. No one has really seen his face though, because of the fact he hides too well.
His wardrobe is, interesting to say the least. First of all, he wears a giant bamboo hat, which if you've seen it, it was black. He also wears a huge black poncho, long enough to completely cover his arms and go all the way down to his knees, it's very light though, so movement isn't difficult. The poncho has huge pockets inside as well, so he can collapse his bow and arrows for storage. Strangely enough, he also wears an eye patch over his left eye. He likes the look, but if he really needs to hunt, he does remove it. Just some boots and black pants, with black gloves and a black undershirt of course, to complete his look. Well, that's how he looks if you ever caught a glimpse of him.
Finally he has one unique item on him, a gem at the base of the neck. Roughly the size of a half dollar, it has a bright blue tint to it, and almost appears like a large diamond. Infused with magic, it allows Aaron two different abilities. It was a very unique item that his family possessed, making hunting extremely easy for them. It only works for whoever's wearing it, and as long as they're a member of his family, so stealing it isn't an option.
The first is allows him to camouflage to his surroundings. Much like the Predators, the image where he stands is a bit distorted and seems off, however there is another downside to it. The camouflage only works for his clothes, so if he were to activate it, his face would still be visible. He usually overcomes this downside with gloves, a mask, or simply pulling his hat down over his face. The other ability is very useful, he can create up to three holograms of himself at a time. They all seem to share his personality, and he has as much control over them as a parent has over a child. He cannot physically move while using his gem for this, however the projections are free to move where ever they please. If Aaron were to move at all, the projections would stop in their tracks.
History: Grew up with a family of Hunters, he quickly picked up on the skills of the bow and arrow, just like his fore-fathers before him, all around the age of 10. His parents hoped he'd grow up to be a great hero, and frankly, he was on that path. . . . .all for about 2 weeks. That's when he discovered the power of money. Yes money is great, it can buy amazing items, and can enhance your general life, and even make people do crazy things. His parents didn't notice all the nice things he seemed to have from petty theft, until they watched him do it. (Kind of like "Oh look honey, he's just like Robin Hood. . . .wait a minute; he didn't give it to the poor!")
Since he's been hunting since he was 10, he's incredibly accurate, but only at some times. Oddly enough, he's dead on when it's a moving Target, yet if they're standing still, he misses horribly. Quite odd, but it made sense for hunters, since no animals tend to stand still (well even those who did managed to start running after he missed them).
Reason for attending the Academy: Wants to improve his skills, and to learn how to use them to satisfy his own needs.

Bolte States Veterans Desire Place in Society ______ A V. C. Seeks to Establish Veterans as Citizens Of World Goodhart, January 10. Lt. Charles G. BoHe, chairman of the Ameri- can Veterans' Committee, speak- ing in the Alliance Assembly on Servicemen in War and Peace, de- clared that GI Bills and personal adjustment programs would have no practical value unless a man can take his place as a productive member of society, in a world where neighboring countries get along, and foreign policy begins at home. ,, Lt. Bolte pointed out that sol- diers in the present war are not politically conscious, which fact he attributed to an inherent isolation- ist background, the failure of the army's orientation course, and the hard physical conditions under which the men are fighting. He Continued on pace t Mr. Helson Lectures Before Science Club On "Color and Space' Dalton, January 10. "Color is a visual experience in which a stimulus affects the eye and brain of the observer," said Mr. Harry Helson, while discuss- ing the "Interactions of color and space" in the first Science Chub lec- ture. Last year Mr. Helson dis- cussed color alone, which he said is a much less complicated problem than that of color and space inter- acting. Together with space, color pre- sents some interesting variations. The traditional view is that color is the feeling of vision, while space is the form of vision. The eye re- ceives an infinity of wave lengths, and acts as an intergrating and Continued on Page i Canteen Class Helps Prepare College Food The Nutrition Class of twelve students, held on campus this fall, under the auspices of the Bryn Mawr Red Cross unit, has now been completed. Those students who have taken this course are now doing' canteen work in the Bryn Mawr kitchens. They help peel the vegetables, and also learn how food is prepared in large quantities. This practical work on campus is in preparation for future work in Blood Donor canteens and hospital kitchens, Joy Rutland '46 is head of this canteen group, and Miss Howe and Miss Bacheller have helped direct the work on campus. Fifteen students are already do- ing volunteer work in the diet kit- chen of the Bryn Mawr Hospital. They work in groups of two for two hour shifts, morning and night. Harvard, Bryn Mawr Combined Glee Clubs To Present Concert On February 3, the Harvard Glee Club will come here to present a combined concert with Bryn Mawr. The concert will be directed by G. W. Woodworth, conductor of the Harvard Glee Club, and by Bryn Mawr's conductor, Mrs. L. C. de- Varon, with Irving Fine, accom- panying his own compositions. The program is: I Motet: O Thou The Central Orb, Orlande Gibbons. Two Madrigals: A Heta vita, Tutti venite armati, Gartoldi. Bacchanale, from La Belle Hel- ene, Jacques Offenbach. Magdlein in Walde, Czech Folk Song, arr. by Antonin Dvorak. Chorus from Patience, Arthur Sullivan, The Harvard Glee Club. H. Motet: Oculos Non Videt, Or- lande Lassue. A Madrigal and a Chanson: Res- velons Nous, Guillaime Dufay; The Nightingale, Thomas Weelkes. Ave Maria, Zoltan Kodaly. Ave Mafia, Gustave Hoist. Bryn Maiwr Choir III Chorus from Cantata 16, for New Year's Day, J. S. Bach, Lasst uns jauohzen, lasst uns freuen. Intermission rv Three Choruses from Solomon, George Frederick.

The two soloists from Bryn Mawr for Caroline Million will be Ann Matlack '47 and Barbara Nu- gent '48, and Rosamund Kent '45 and Barbara Stix '47 will play the flute obligato for Handel's May No Rash Intruder. After the concert there will be refreshments and a victrola dance for Harvard and the Bryn Mawr Choir. Tickets will be on sale starting Thursday, January 18, in the Pub- licity Office in Taylor. The price for students is 50 cents; other tic- kets are one dollar. Hall Presidents Find Rationing Confusing; Miss Bacheller Explains Problems of Food By Harriet Ward '48 To those Bryn Mawrtyrs who raise skeptical eyebrows at vege- table dinners, sniff disdainfully at chow mein, and hide their meal- time woes in knitting, Miss Bach- eller, the campus dietician, can of- fer sufficient explanation but little solace. In 1945 students will just have to remain calm/when' they hear that "boiled roosterT is on the menu for dinner. Butter The meat-versus-butter contro- versy stood foremost in the dis- cussion between Miss Bacheller and the hall presidents last Thurs- day. It seems that many students much prefer that the 3840 points spent for butter each week be di- verted to items that more nearly resemble a juicy slice of roast beef. After weeks of vacation, the majority are quite accustomed to margerine anyhow. But accord- ing to Miss Bacheller this is where the hitch comes in. Because Bryn Mawr is an institution, it must pay a Federal tax if it- serves col- ored margarine on its tables, and if it serves cdlored margarine without paying the tax, it must pay a heavy fine. White marger- ine is not very palatable, but the question is still under considera- tion. Shortage Even if Miss Bacheller did have an abundance of points to splurge on meat, Bryn Mawr tables would still be graced with a preponder- ance of fish, tongue, and eggs. Since utility beef was placed on the ration list in December, and many other point *ralues were rais- ed, she has been completely at the mercy of wholesalers. In fact, sometimes the wholesalers have nothing, and the college eats sand- wiches for Sunday supper. The hall presidents reported 2 Philosophy Courses Added to Curriculum Two new courses are offered for the second semester, both advanced electives in philosophy, w*ith a half unit of credit each. Mr. Veltman, part-time lecturer in philosophy will give a course on Schopenhauer, planned to comple- ment that in German Idealism given In the first semester, and required for majors in philosophy. A course entitled the Philosophy of Mind will be conducted by Mr. Erich Frank, Lecturer in Greek and new-comer to the Bryn Mawr faculty this year. The subject in- cludes the problems of epistemol- ogy and metaphysics with special consideration of the philosophy of history.

Miss Bacheller exploded the theory that left-over demi-tasse appears on the break- fast table. No coffee is ever used again. As for the flavor, the urns in each hall are checked regular- ly. For the interest of midnight crammers existing on caffein en- ergy, the dietician hinted that it is possible that coffee and tea may both be rationed in the near fu- ture. However, we still would like to know the German House's sec- ret. Compensation As for those militant nutrition experts, who denounce the number of "all-white dinners" and "over- starchy meals," Miss Bacheller pointed out that what is missing in one meal is compensated for in an- other that day. In fact, anyone who has ever struggled over an obstinate check- book will wonder how Miss Bach- eller manages at all. People who labor under the illusion that the points from their books are gaily torn out and tossed into the waste- basket are quite wrong.

Discussing Basic Christian Doc- trines, Dr. Calhoun will deal spec- ifically with God, Man, and Jesus. As "a result of the success of the three separate lectures last year on the general subject of religion, the college has asked Dr. Calhoun to give this series of informal talks to be accompanied by discussion. They will take place on successive Monday nights, February 12, 19, and 26, at 8:00. An authority on the history of philosophy and theology, Dr. Cal- houn has written articles on sub- jects pertaining to religious real- ism, the meaning of the humani- ties, and religion in the modern world. He received his undergrad- uate training at,Carleton College and his graduate training chiefly at Yale. After two years of teach- ing at Carleton, he became a mem- ber of the Yale faculty in 1923. Dean Discusses * Russia as Power For Future World Russia's Attitude Determined By Geographic, Economic Position "It is essential to understand the Russians in terms of their own his- tory," declared Mrs. Vera Micheles Dean, in a discussion of Russia at a world power, for the Marion Ed- ward Park Lecture Fund. Russia's attitude, Mrs. Dean feels, is large- ly determined by her geopraphic - position and her economic develop- ment. Sea Route Russia is an immense continent whose interests geographically range from Europe to Asia. She is virtually land-locked, for all her openings to the sea are controlled by another, usually hostile, power. Russian relations with the outside world before 1917 were a long series of attempts to gain some relatively unrestricted opening to the sea routes of the world. This history of conflict contejb-y utes to a rather contradictory ku^ sian attitude towards the outside world. First, the Russians feel an eager curiosity about conditions outside their borders; but when this interest reaches a certain height of participation in foreign affairs, the Russians are suddenly seized with a fear of European hostility to their country, and they retire again into their isolated state. This revulsion has always been accentuated by the Russians' feeling of inferiority about their i lack of industrial development. Industry Russia's economic situation has been the second great problem in her development. She has been con- sidered as a semi-colonial state, an agricultural nation whose great production of raw materials would make her a ready market for western industrial products. Her industry has been confined, until recently, to railroads and public utilities, plus a few firms produc- ing minor civilian goods. However, all of this industry was financed by foreign capital, owing to the fear prevalent among Russian land- owners that any sizeable proletar- iat would endanger their economic control of the country. Russian fear of foreign economic domina- ConlhntJ on Page i Proverbial Stork in Foster Parent Guise Presents Denbigh, Pembroke with Children by Rosina Bateson '47 The possibilities of becoming t parent, or rather a foster parent, have been pressing heavily upor Pembroke and Denbigh. The uni- versal question of "will it be a boy or a girl?" has caused many heat- ed arguments, with the additional problem of whether "it" would bt three or thirteen; French, Italian, Spanish or English. Choice Made The proverbial stork, in the guise of the foster parents plan for War Children, has now pro- duced the hoped-for results: Pem- broke West boasts a fourteen year old English boy, Pembroke East an Italian boy of twelve years, while Denbigh has a thirteen year I old girl. The duties of a foster parent are tactfully implied in a letter from Pern West's Patrick Le Brun: "some of the children have been very lucky this month. The boy next to me is adopted by an artist and she has sent him a big box of crayons, a box of paints, some drawing pencils, and a book to draw on, together with a book Continued on Page 4

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - The National Hockey League issued a three-game suspension to Vancouver Canucks forward Zack Kassian on Friday.
Kassian was given a major penalty for boarding as well as a game misconduct late in the first period of Dallas' 6-1 thrashing of Vancouver on Thursday, after issuing an illegal check to Stars defenseman Brenden Dillon.
It's the second time supplemental discipline has been handed out to Kassian this season. He was sidelined for the remainder of the preseason (3 games) as well as the first five regular-season contests for delivering a cross-check to the face of Edmonton's Sam Gagner in late September.
The force of the blow was enough to break Gagner's jaw, knock out several teeth, and leave him out of action to start the season.
As a repeat offender, the suspension is tied to Kassian's average annual salary. He will lose $32,103.66 which automatically goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
The 23-year-old winger will not be eligible to return until Vancouver's contest in Washington on March 14, missing games with Calgary, the New York Islanders and Winnipeg.

an ah-so opener will remove and replace a cork without any damage to the cork. It also is a fantastic weapon if you aim for the bridge of your attackers nose.
I'm partial to the waiter's corkscrew with a double hinge. I've tried a lot of others over the years and these are very simple, provide great leverage and are compact.
FauxReal wrote:I'm partial to the waiter's corkscrew with a double hinge. I've tried a lot of others over the years and these are very simple, provide great leverage and are compact.
Ditto! The compactness is a big point for me, since I have a lot of kitchen utensils packed away in a fairly small kitchen. Have always worked great for me.
I too agree and also have one with two tines that work in beside the cork and pull it out. It is a pain in the rear but great for older corks with the potential to crumble.
Double hinged 'waiter's corkscrew for most young wines, though sometimes a Screwpull 'portable' for longer corks. Old corks, especially with old California wines, require the careful use of an 'ah so'. Unfortunately, 'ah so's with the very thin, quality spring steel blades on the original Ah So's back in the '70s are virtually impossible to find today, and have been for at least 20 years. (I used to have one of rather unique design that would work for corks of varying sizes which was my father's from the 1920's or early '30s, but someone lifted it....)
Waiter's corkscrew - several to choose from since we have picked them up from visiting vineyards over the years. But that reminds me... I need to unpack the Houdini 5 - Piece Wine Gift Set from Woot I bought recently!
The Houdini one.
I've never had any issues with my knock off rabbit. With three simple motions the screw is in and out. If you really want it will take the cork off the screw for you. I purchased a whole box set for about $20. It was totally worth it.
1. Waiter's. 2. Swiss Army Knife.
Same. I've tried 'em all. These are the best.
I got one of these when they were up on Sellout - works just fine for my purposes!
ShaggyTx wrote:Waiter's corkscrew - several to choose from since we have picked them up from visiting vineyards over the years. But that reminds me... I need to unpack the Houdini 5 - Piece Wine Gift Set from Woot I bought recently!
Yeah you do, it's pretty handy!
Cork Pops!
Mine is similar but not quite like this.
Waiter's corkscrew makes me feel like I actually know what I'm doing when I'm about to drink wine. Then I have a sip and become clueless once again
I usually use a nice 3-piece corkscrew from Pampered Chef But sometimes I use the deadly weapon known as the Cork Pops which is a large-gauge needle that can inject CO2 into the wine bottle to push the cork out with pressure OR you can inject the CO2 into an artery in your attacker causing a quick death. Or so I'm told.
natalieug wrote:OR you can inject the CO2 into an artery in your attacker causing a quick death. Or so I'm told.
That's a handy multipurpose tool.
One I've had for years. Not sure what you call it. Has a frame with rubber end that sits on the bottle. The other end where the worm gear passes through has a device to lock the T handle at the top of the worm gear as you are inserting the cork screw into the cork. When the the handle reaches the frame the locking device flips up and the worm gear then engages, extracting the cork. Been working fine for 40+ years now.
grisca wrote:Mine is similar but not quite like this.
+1 that. Looks like that one is more "modern".
I generally use this since it looks so fun when opening: Fancy Winemaster Corkscrew However, sometimes we use my knock off of the rabbit (which tends to work better or at least more easily) and sometimes the 2 step waiter's corkscrew (especially when away from home).
The brookstone automatic wine opener. Works well but does occasionally get stuck. I don't have an answer for the crumbled cork though.
Ah So, Cork Pops, traditional, double step I use them all. I really depends the bottle that is being opened, the type of cork in it, and the size of the bottle.

Kansas human trafficking measure signed into law
Published on -4/22/2013, 1:24 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Gov. Sam Brownback signed a new law Monday designed to strengthen efforts in Kansas to combat human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of young women.
The governor was joined by Attorney General Derek Schmidt and other victim advocates during the event, saying the new provisions will provide increased criminal penalties and services for victims of sexual exploitation. The law takes effect July 1.
"This will not only strengthen our ability to severely punish traffickers, it will give us valuable new tools to protect vulnerable young victims so they can have hope of a new life and break a cycle of exploitation," Brownback said.
The bill creates the crime of commercial sexual exploitation of a child, covering those ages 14 to 17. It also makes other modifications to Kansas human trafficking laws passed nearly a decade earlier.
The bill will establish a fund that will be financed with fines and forfeiture of property from those convicted of the sex crimes. The revenue will be used to pay for treatment and services for the victims of the crimes.
Schmidt, a former Republican Senate majority leader, joined Brownback in January in proposing the human trafficking changes. Brownback worked on federal trafficking laws in the U.S. Senate with the late Minnesota Democratic Sen. Paul Wellstone.
The attorney general said it was difficult to know the extent of human sex trafficking, since often it is a crime that takes place in the shadows, but affects all regions of the state. He has argued that with the new law that Kansas would be a more active partner in cracking down on the crimes under the new legislation.
"This is the first comprehensive anti-human trafficking law in Kansas history. As we have throughout our state's history, Kansas today took another positive step in the struggle for human dignity," Schmidt said.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am a 60 year old female diagnosed with breast cancer, for which I underwent lumpectomy. I am 300 pounds and have been turned down by several radiation facilities due to my weight and the ability of the machine to support me. Am I destined for a mastectomy or is there somewhere that can treat me?
Neha Vapiwala , MD, Senior Editor of OncoLink and Chief Resident in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The issue of weight and not only radiation machines, but radiology as well, is likely to become more common with how common obesity has become in our society. The linear accelerators we use at the University of Pennsylvania can support up to 350 pounds. Varian Medical Systems has developed newer machines that can support up to 450 pounds. You may be able to visit the Varian website to find an institution in your area that uses their machines.
While not an issue in breast cancer because the affected tissues are located near the surface, but for deeper tumors, there may be an issue of effectiveness. A patient's body size, as in the case of prostate cancer, the size of the pelvis, helps to determine the energy of the radiation beams that are used (i.e.: need higher energy beams for greater depth of penetration, because the larger a patient is, the further away the prostate is from the skin surface). Furthermore, the dosimetry (dose distribution and tumor coverage) achieved with the radiation treatment plan may be suboptimal if a patient is too big, depending on the distribution of the weight.
Oct 26, 2011 - Capecitabine is a good first-line treatment alternative to cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil for some women with advanced breast cancer, according to a study published online Oct. 24 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

MIDDLETON — Two additional arrests have been made by the Middleton Police Department in a road rage case from earlier this month that was allegedly sparked by a Dover man who wanted to kill his ex-girlfriend's new beau, officials say.Justin Barnes, 22, of 504 Main St., Farmington, and James Hartford, 17, of 107 Route 11, Farmington, have been arrested and each charged with one count conspiracy to commit criminal threatening, a Class B felony, for a bizarre incident reported on Jan. 17.Joshua Hussey, 21, of 22 Winter St., Dover, was the first to be arrested in this case, for allegedly driving his Pontiac G6 while Hartford and Barnes rode along and terrorized two Farmington men who were in another vehicle on the evening of Jan. 17. A high-speed chase ensued between the two vehicles through Middleton and Farmington and ended when the two victims stopped at the Farmington police station to ask for help.Hussey was charged on Jan. 23 for reckless conduct and criminal liability for conduct toward another. Barnes has also been charged by the Farmington Police Department for allegedly showing a folding knife to another person on Dec. 12 for a separate incident at 351 Main St. in that town. He was charged by Farmington police for criminal threatening/use of a deadly weapon in that case and was also arraigned on that matter at Rochester court Thursday.
James Hartford
The victims said an argument between them and the suspects began at the Farmington Cumberland Farms and Hussey tried to block them in with his vehicle. An unidentified person who called Middleton police with more information regarding the incident said Barnes was introduced to Hussey through an acquaintance because Hussey was allegedly looking for someone to hurt one of the two Farmington victims for dating his ex-girlfriend. The cooperating individual, according to a police affidavit, said Hussey wanted that person killed or "hurt real bad." Callers told Middleton police on the night of Jan. 17 the pursuit between the two cars went from Route 153 to Ridge Road, then New Durham Road and then to Silver Street. Police say those roads have no break down lanes and are curvy.The affidavit said the informant also told police he was present when Hartford allegedly thanked Hussey for not telling authorities he was involved. Hussey reportedly told officials upon his arrest there was a passenger with a knife and stick contraption whom he did not recognize. The information said Hartford allegedly told Hussey, "Thanks for not being a snitch."
Following their arraignments in Rochester Circuit Court, Hussey was released on $5,000 personal recognizance bail while both Barnes and Hartford were ordered held on $5,000 cash bail to convert to personal recognizance bail if accepted by the Strafford County Community Corrections program.At their individual arraignments on Thursday, Barnes' and Hartford's bail conditions mandate they wear GPS tracking devices, sign a waiver of extradition and refrain from using illicit drugs or possessing firearms, weapons or ammunition. Barnes has been ordered to refrain from having excessive alcohol and Hartford has been ordered to have no alcohol. They have also each been ordered to not have contact with several people, including the alleged victims and suspects in this case, and have also been ordered to seek mental health referrals.All of the charges listed are classified as Class B felonies.Probable cause hearings for Barnes and Hartford have been set for Feb. 8. in Rochester Circuit Court. Middleton Police Sgt. Tim Brown told Foster's previous reports that chainsaws were also used in this incident have not been confirmed and that matter is still under investigation. Brown noted additional charges may be forthcoming against the three suspects.

During cancer therapy, you may notice changes in your skin and/or nails. These changes vary based on the type and dose of therapy you are receiving. Some common changes with radiation therapy include redness, peeling, thin or fragile skin and/or increased sensitivity to sunlight. If you are receiving chemotherapy, you may notice changes in skin tone or pigmentation, very dry skin, rashes, redness, peeling, and/or increased sensitivity to sunlight. If you develop any of these problems, be sure to show them to your oncology healthcare team, as they can be signs of reactions to some medications or can require adjustments to the doses of chemotherapy or radiation. Your fingernails, and possibly toenails, may become discolored, weak, break or lift off, or develop ridges (which will grow out over time). For most people, the nail changes are temporary and will grow back to normal after some time. It may take about 6 months after treatment is stopped for nails to return to prior condition.
Dec 17, 2012 - Ultraviolet nail lamps, used for professional and personal nail techniques, do not pose a clinically significant skin cancer risk, according to a letter to the editor published online Dec. 6 in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.

Mentor Graphics Achieves IPv6 Ready Group Phase II Interoperability Approval for Nucleus Internet Protocol (IP) Version 6 Networking Stack
WILSONVILLE, Ore., December 17, 2009 — Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASAQ: MENT) today announced that its Nucleus® Operating System (OS) has passed Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) Phase II compliance testing by the IPv6 Ready Group. IPv6 is the next-generation protocol that runs the Internet and enables advanced applications and new integrated technology solutions. Receiving the IPv6 Ready Group Phase II interoperability approval (and logo) assures Mentor Graphics Nucleus IPv6 customers that their networked devices have guaranteed interoperability with other compliant IPv6 devices.
By supplementing Mentor's current IPv4 protocol with a compliant IPv6 stack, Mentor provides improved scalability (IP address space), configuration ease, secured high-quality Internet connectivity, and ensured interoperability with other devices on an IP network, at a lower cost.
"Our Nucleus OS successfully met the standards required for IPv6 certification and we believe developers, consumers and service providers will realize the benefits in our highly-efficient technology," stated Glenn Perry, general manager of Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division. "The Nucleus OS is scalable and efficient in managing power, processor and memory usage — ideal for secure communications applications such as IPv6. As a result, this will inspire the development of new applications, services and end-products.
The Nucleus OS IPv6 compliance addresses three critical challenges for current users of the IPv4 protocol:
- IPv4 address space depletion: Current estimates from industry sources project that the address space for IPv4 will be depleted by 2010, in addition to uneven distribution of the IPv4 address space globally.
- Inferior addressing architecture: IPv4 addresses do not provide an efficient, scalable hierarchical address space, particularly when representing many lower-level addresses or networks. Also, routing has become increasingly complicated and costly as the Internet continues to expand.
- High cost and maintenance requirements: IPv4 is costly to maintain and the costs to maintain and configure networks for IPv4 (along with its limitations) will only increase as newer, more advanced protocols like IPv6 are adopted.
IPv6 will achieve more widespread adoption and provide several benefits due to its larger address capacity. This will enable greater flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic, allowing device users to experience higher levels of seamless integration between devices and better Internet access.

I'm pleasantly surprised to say this thing does a great job! It feels light and cheap in your hand, and upon unblocking I was worried. But after using it on a system that is notoriously difficult to pedal bleed, I am a happy camper. While it can be used by yourself, it is still handy to have a helper watch the master cylinder for overflow. Great product!

My father has always said that if you make something well, people will go out of their way to get it. I suspect many folks would do just that for Terri Horn's Salty Oats cookies.
Terri Horn, the brilliant baker behind these cookies, grew up spending summers on Cape Cod. Originally from Washington DC, her dream was to ultimately set up her own baking business somewhere near the sea. Trained as a pastry chef, Terri developed the recipe for her signature cookies as a side project and it wasn't until she was on a kayaking trip with friends in Maine that she finally made the decision to found her own business. Appropriately enough, she named her enterprise Kayak Cookies!
Since then, she has been making her original cookie – a kind of amped-up oatmeal raisin cookie sprinkled with salt. The oatmeal raisin cookie was subsequently joined by a chocolate cookie that contains, among other ingredients, coconut, oats and chocolate chunks. These two are the flagship flavors – bags are available in one flavor or the other or, for those who can't choose between the two, there is the mixed bag. Also, at the Cambridge shop, we usually break open a bag and sell the cookies on an individual basis at the register – this has proved to be popular with folks who pop in to the shop to pick up lunch.
Terri makes every effort to source as many organic ingredients as possible – she uses organic oats, eggs, coconut, whole wheat flour and raisins to mention only a few. All of her cookies are handmade in Cape Cod in small batches. Attention to detail and commitment to quality shine through and one of her cookies, paired with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot coffee, always goes down easily!
This past week, Terri just released her latest addition to the Salty Oats family – a cookie with chocolate chunks, a touch of coconut and pecans. As a baker myself, I immediately thought of Southern favorites – pecan pie and coconut cake!
Find 6-pack bags of Salty Oats cookies in both our Cambridge and South End stores. They are also available through our web site.

Australian solar company Ausra and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger have joined forces Thursday to make history.
The former Hollywood action star flicked the "on" switch at Ausra's new Kimberlina solar energy facility located in the desert about 160km north of Los Angeles.
The plant will generate enough electricity to power 3,500 homes in central California.
Kimberlina is the first solar-thermal power project to open in California in nearly 20 years and continues Schwarzenegger's pursuit of renewable power alternatives for his state.
"This next generation solar power plant is further evidence that reliable, renewable and pollution-free technology is here to stay, and it will lead to more California homes and businesses powered by sunshine," Schwarzenegger said.
"Not only will this large-scale solar facility generate power to help us meet our renewable energy goals, it will also generate new jobs as California continues to pioneer clean-tech industry."
Kimberlina is located near the central Californian city of Bakersfield, the third sunniest city in the US.
The plant has a space age look, with 300m rows of mirrors designed to concentrate the sun's power on tubes carrying steam.
"Ausra has the world's first hybrid coal-solar power plant which is based in NSW, Australia, and now we have the first Ausra stand-alone facility operating in California," Ausra president Bob Matthews said.
Ausra was founded by Australian researcher Dr David Mills who developed the solar technology at a University of Sydney lab.
The company, now headquartered in Palo Alto near San Francisco, plans a larger solar-thermal plant at California's Carrizo Plain to power 120,000 homes.
Ausra designs, manufactures, installs, and operates solar thermal energy systems for customers around the world. Amid growing public demand for clean energy, our next-generation solar thermal energy systems provide reliable, scalable, and cost-competitive renewable energy solutions for both power and industrial steam customers.
Our solar thermal energy technology is the most land-efficient in operation, is easily manufactured and installed, and serves as a hedge against volatile fuel price fluctuations and emissions regulation costs. It is part of our customers' integrated sustainability strategy for fuel and carbon market risk reduction—at competitive prices.

In my last post about eating well with multiple sclerosis (MS), we discussed meal planning and prep to help enable you to eat nutritiously through the week.
