An active conductor, adjudicator, and clinician, Colonel Holtan has presented concerts and clinics in 48 states, Canada, Japan, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Europe. In 2000, Colonel Holtan was selected for the Army's Training with Industry program. He served as the Director of Operations and Associate Conductor of the Dallas Wind Symphony while concurrently pursuing doctoral studies at the University of North Texas. Colonel Holtan holds music education degrees from Montana State University and the University of Montana, and has pursued additional conducting studies with Elizabeth Green, H.

Leonard Cassuto delivers the English Dept.'s Sixth Inaugural Lecture
Photo by Tom Stoelker
In a lecture steeped in historical research, Leonard Cassuto, Ph.D., professor of English, dove into the current debate on American higher education on Sept. 18, describing "a battle for control of the idea of the university."
Cassuto, who writes a monthly column for the Chronicle of Higher Education, delivered the Department of English's Sixth Inaugural Lecture. He is at work on a book called
The Graduate School Mess
, to be published by Harvard University Press.
His talk called on members of the academy to "own your academic responsibility" and to rally behind a singular sense of purpose—lest the debate be defined for them by policymakers who are veering toward a business and corporate model.
"We can't be at war with society; society feeds us. Moreover, we're part of this society," said Cassuto. "The general public is angry at us right now. They also don't understand us very well."
As tuition costs rise, the American middle class is understandably stressed, he said. At the same time, policymakers are introducing business metrics and metaphors, such as "return on investment," into education, reflecting a shift from what was once viewed as a collective investment in society as a whole (the idea that an educated population is good for everyone) to a view of higher education as a purely individual financial decision.
As government pulls back from funding higher education, individuals have to pay for it—and they have come to view college education as a consumer good. Higher education may not produce products that are easily identified and valued, Cassuto said, but it still remains difficult to argue against the view of education being a product.
"In Europe (where education is paid for by tax dollars) the transaction is indirect. People pay their taxes, and the taxes pay for higher education," said Cassuto, "but given the setup in the United States, consumers expect something for their investment," he said. "Students and their families are in a financial collaboration with the university, and they need to feel collaborated with, and not just as customers."
Cassuto described a historical education system that was literally and figuratively rooted in faith. For example, Princeton's founders initially set out to train clergy and then extended the scope beyond the church, establishing a system of mutual caretaking: Society takes care of the university, the university educates "society's children," and the children give knowledge back to society. He noted that the tradition of taking care of society's children has been distorted—with competition among institutions for students even spawning dormitories that resemble spas.
Cassuto outlined how, historically, perceptions of certain political movements can be shaped by language and rhetoric. Environmentalism, for example, involves the imposition of a modern caretaking metaphor over a business metaphor.
"[This] is exactly what academia needs to do," Said Cassuto. "Higher education needs to define its relation between the university and the community," he said. "And there is no consensus on what that is right now."
"We academics, administrators, and, yes, graduate students too, need to articulate it or it will be articulated for us."
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College, University of London, in the United Kingdom.

But so fun to imagine. Thanks for a fun book.The American Way of Eating was really good, too.

Contact Pediatric Urology
- Children's Health Specialty Center Dallas Campus 214-456-2444
The Pediatric Urology program at Children's Health℠ consist of UT Southwestern physicians, which are actively involved in finding ways to improve the urologic care of children and are nationally respected and sought after experts in pediatric urology.
Expertise and Experience
Whether your child has a common condition such as bedwetting or an undescended testis or has a rare, complex condition requiring a complex surgery, our team is experienced and ready to help. We care for more than 9,500 children per year and our surgeons perform around 1,825 operations per year. Children with common or complex conditions are referred to us for our clinical expertise in all aspects of pediatric urology.
Specialized Care
The Department of Urology has several programs dedicated to providing comprehensive care for children with urologic conditions. We have specialty programs for voiding dysfunction, male genital anomalies, kidney stones, anomalies detected prenatally, neurogenic bladder, disorders of sex development, and vaginal reconstruction to name a few. Our outpatient clinics are specialized for urologic care and several procedures to evaluate bladder function can be performed in our clinics.
Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery
Minimally invasive or laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions (less than 1 cm) and telescopes to perform surgeries that previously had been performed with larger incisions. The benefits generally include smaller scars, less pain, and quicker recovery. Robotic surgery is also minimally invasive surgery but uses a surgical robot that allows surgeons to perform more complex surgeries. Our innovative minimally invasive and robotic surgery program is one of the largest and busiest programs in pediatric urology in the country. In addition, our program is the only one to offer robotic surgery for children in the Dallas Fort Worth area.

The Nevada is a large propeller passenger plane found in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Nevada is a large plane with two radial engines. Its access door is at the back and the plane always leans tilted nose up when parked. The company name "Juank Air" is marked on it. It can be found with locked doors in the Easter Bay International Airport in San Fierro parked on the plane taxi-zone. It's doors will unlock after completing Learning to Fly. The Nevada is based on the vintage Douglas DC-3, and as such is the oldest aircraft in the Grand Theft Auto series. Unlike the Dodo, Shamal, and the Skimmer, the Nevada is regularly seen flying in the sky. Also, unlike most planes, the Nevada has more than one default color. Due to its size, it is great to surf the plane during multiplayer.
The Nevada is used in the mission Dam and Blast from the "Heist" strand where CJ has to plant explosives on the Sherman Dam generators that will be later detonated to disable the power supplying Caligula's Palace.
The Nevada has a decent top speed, but it has a rather long take off distance and slow acceleration. The Nevada also has good durability; it can withstand one or two homing rockets before being destroyed. Keep in mind, though, that crashing into an obstacle head-on will immediately destroy the plane.
- The plane's name parodies the nickname given to the military version of the DC-3 used by Allied troops during World War II. The nickname was Dakota, named after an acronym for Douglas Aircraft Company Transport Aircraft (DACoTA), the name for the Nevada however parodies US state names, North Dakota and South Dakota with Nevada.
- Like other planes that tilt upwards when parked (such as the Rustler, Stuntplane and Cropduster) the plane will roll backwards when the Cars drive on water cheat is enabled.
- There is a glitch where if you jump on top of the Nevada and try to walk up to the nose of the airplane, CJ will suddenly "sink" into the airplane and become stuck in such a position that only his head and shoulders are visible on the top of the nose, in front of the windshield. The only way to get out is to press the action button, where CJ will suddenly appear next to the door and open it.
There are two Nevadas parked at Easter Bay International Airport. One is near the hangars, across from a Shamal. The other is near the north of the terminals, but occasionally a Baggage or a Utility Van will spawn in place of it, or sometimes nothing at all.

Spoony needs your vote!
By Martin Fowlie, Thu, 02/12/2010 - 10:40
BirdLife's work to save two key resting and feeding sites in China, used by one of the world's oddest and most appealing waterbirds is to receive support from Disney's Friends for Change initiative. The project, 'Saving Spoony's Chinese Wetlands ' will receive at least $25,000. But if children around the world decide to give it their vote, that support could rise to $50,000, or even $100,000. Spoony- the Spoon-billed Sandpiper- is one of the rarest birds in the world. It gets its name from its spoon-shaped beak, which it uses to pick up food from the mud left uncovered when the tide goes out. Every year it flies over 9,000 km from the Arctic tundra in Russia, where it nests, to the tropics of southern Asia, where it spends the winter. Then, in spring, it flies all the way back again. But the bird that carries its own cutlery is in danger of having nowhere to go to eat. The tidal mudflats it depends on to rest and refuel on its incredible journey are being drained and covered with houses and factories. Fewer and fewer Spoon-billed Sandpipers make it back to breed each year, and unless we act quickly, this tough and determined little bird could soon be gone for ever. There may be as few as 400 left, down from 2,000 just 10 years ago. BirdLife's China Programme, the Hong Kong Birdwatching Society and friends in China, including the Wild Bird Society of Shanghai and Fujian Bird Watching Society will work at two wetlands near Shanghai, which Spoon-billed Sandpipers stop at on their way round China's coast. Gathering information about all the waterbirds that use these two wetlands will help us protect them better. Talks, games and field trips will be organised for children at local schools, to inspire them about the values of wetlands and wildlife. Students will be encouraged to form Conservation Groups, and become the ambassadors for the Spoon-billed Sandpiper, telling local people and the government that there is a bird nearby that needs their help. Voting opened on 29th November. You can help the Spoon-billed Sandpiper with registering on the Disney website by going to one of the following links and giving Spoony your vote:

China's wetlands play a very critical role for long range migratory birds, such as spoon-billed sandpipers, Siberian cranes, grey-faced buzzards, and bar-tailed godwits. So it great to see corporations such as Disney, Inc. playing a role in their preservation. That is a great way to entertain.

25th Anniversary of the National Scenic Area
On August 13, 2011 almost two hundred gathered in Stevenson to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the National Scenic Area. A recognition reception to honor the contributions of key senators, congressman, governors, treaty tribes and individuals who were integral in the passing of the National Scenic Area legislation, was held at the Skamania Lodge. The Lodge, partially funded by specific appropriations in the Act, served as the perfect example of how the Act was written to support local communities while protecting resources.

A trip to Hawaii has never sounded so awful.
By losing 38-35 in the second overtime to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC divisional-round playoff game Saturday, John Fox and the Broncos' coaching staff will soon be heading to Honolulu for the Pro Bowl.
When in 2009 the Pro Bowl was moved to the week before the Super Bowl instead of the week after, the coaches from the highest-seeded teams to lose in the divisional playoff round now get rewarded with coaching their respective Pro Bowl teams.
The Broncos entered the postseason as the AFC's No. 1-seeded team. As they lost Saturday, Fox and his coaching staff will head the AFC Pro Bowl team against the NFC on Jan. 27 at Aloha Stadium.

Joining the Broncos' coaches will be at least five of their players. Quarterback Peyton Manning, linebacker Von Miller and cornerback Champ Bailey will start for the AFC team. Left tackle Ryan Clady and defensive end Elvis Dumervil are Pro Bowl reserves.
There's a decent chance wide receiver Demaryius Thomas will also get invited, because he was a No. 1 alternate.
Dumervill praises fans. Broncos players had heaters behind the team bench. They know the fans did not.
"Our fans are amazing," Dumervil said. "We fell short for them. We feel bad."
Broncos stunned. Players in the Broncos' locker room appeared as stunned as their fans after the double-OT loss.
"It's definitely a sick feeling," cornerback Chris Harris said. "When you work as hard as this team has worked, I mean, to (seemingly) have the game (won) then to blow it away, that definitely hurts."
Opportunity lost. For older Broncos players, including Bailey, a 14-year player, the loss had to sting even more.
"It's gets tougher the older you get, because you never know when that door is going to close (on your career)," Bailey said. "I just have to keep grinding. That's the way I'm built. It is a tough loss, but we will bounce back one way or another. That's all you can do."
Next man up. Broncos running back Ronnie Hillman got more carries when Knowshon Moreno went out with a knee injury, and the rookie from San Diego State made the most of them. Hillman finished with 83 yards on 22 carries, a rushing total topped only by Bobby Humphries (85 yards vs. Pittsburgh in 1990) among Broncos rookies in the postseason.
Practice makes perfect. It's not often seen, but Ravens coach John Harbaugh is a former special-teams coach who is always thinking about the kicking game.
And between the end of regulation and the first overtime period, Harbaugh had his rookie kicker, Justin Tucker, go out and take a practice kick. Tucker also did it in between overtime periods.
Some of the Broncos players, including Bailey, looked on, appearing rather surprised.
"That's pretty standard for us," Harbaugh said. "We always do that. You go out there and try to get a feel for the wind if you have a chance in between quarters and two-minute warnings."
"I don't think there's any new rule that disallows them," Fox said.
Tucker hit a 47-yarder in the second OT to win the game.
Flag day. The Broncos were charged with 10 penalties in the game, which tied for their second-highest total of the season.
Injuries. Cornerback Omar Bolden left the game with an injured left shoulder, and Moreno departed with a knee injury. Neither player returned.
Lewis to play again. Veteran Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis got a reprieve from retirement when Baltimore rallied for the victory.
"To extend my career now, to know whenever the road stops, to know it won't be the end but it's just a new beginning ..." Lewis said of getting at least another game. Mike Klis, Tom Kensler, Jeff Legwold and Irv Moss, The Denver Post

Audiolab 8200A review
The long-awaited successor to the legendary 8000A is here
Audiolab's new CD player ups the ante with a host of technological innovations
OK, we admit it: this is the joker in the pack. Not, however, that either we or Audiolab are having a laugh. We just thought it would be interesting to find out whether an AV-oriented, multichannel, pre/power combination can cut it when playing music in the company of dedicated stereo-only kit.
The revived Audiolab name has also seen a revival of some familiar-looking model names, but the most famous of those, the 8000A, is replaced by the 8000S. The new model is basically a fully traditional integrated amplifier in almost every respect

Anything level 3 that cannot tank for a lot of damage that needs a combo is not playable, especially one that can't do 40 damage or gets sneezed on by fencer.

New radio data terminals which were bought by the Tanzania Ports Authority TPA in 2010 could not function without access points causing a total loss of over USD1m, the Controller and Auditor General report for the year 2011 has said.
The report said weak management of contract at Dar es Salaam Port made Tanzania Ports Authority to enter into contract with M/s Singapore PTE Limited to supply and install radio data terminals in February 2010 at an agreed sum of USD339,000.
Immediately after the authority received the radio terminals, a series of events emerged, the report said. First, the management discovered that the supplied radio data terminals could not function without access points, it said.
This prompted the authority to sign another contract to procure the devices from M/s Singapore PTE Limited on June 21, 2010 for 68 access points at the cost of USD399, 000 on a single source basis, the report noted.
After purchasing the access points it was also discovered that the access points could not be installed on a standing tower.
According to the report, the authority therefore, contracted M/s Carts (T) Limited on September 17, 2010 to supply the standing tower at a contract sum of USD133, 000 under a single source method of procurement.
Furthermore, it noted that even after the installation of the access points, the radio data terminals could not work as the access points were required to be connected to the fiber optic system, the CAG said in the report.
This prompted the authority to enter again into a single source procurement method for extension of fiber optic cable connectivity at the cost of USD553,000 with M/s EMEC.
In total the authority incurred the extra cost from the original contract price amounting to USD1.09m and still the objective was not achieved at the time of audit as the contractor M/s Cats did not manage to deliver the access points at the agreed time.
No liquidated damages were charged as required by the contract agreement, the report said, adding that the above scenario shows that the authority did not adhere to the laid down legal requirement.
Under Sec 46 (5) of the Public Procurement Regulations of 2005 it is stated that the procuring entity must forecast its requirements for goods, services and works as accurately as is practicable with particular reference to activities already programmed in its annual work plan and included in its annual estimates.

Mwanza city will tomorrow play host to the opening children's party out of the three projected by the Coca-Cola Company to be staged in the country this year.
Two other parties of similar magnitude will also be staged in Arusha and Dar es Salaam in a bid to provide entertainment to children in the country as confirmed by beverage's brand manager Salome Mabirizi.
The event in Mwanza will be staged at the Gold Crest Hotel as over one thousand teenagers are expected to attend.
The objective of the congregation is to engage the youths in active interactive games, funs and foster relationship among themselves.
Youngsters are expected to dress up smartly as their favorite artists and music heroes join them for the entertainment bash.
Musician Mwasiti Almasi from Dar es Salaam whose song Soldier is now riding highly in the music circles in Tanzania is expected to attack the stage.Entry fee to the party is open to any teenager who will be capable of affording to buy two bottles of Coca-Cola which will be readily available for sale at the entrance door.
"We decided to organise teen parties in Tanzania to further promote active life style among the youths and enhance the interaction between the brand and its consumers", said Mabirizi, Coca-Cola.
The Mwanza launch tomorrow will be followed by the second in the series to be staged in Arusha on Saturday, February 19.
Dar es Salaam will hold its equally exciting show in on Saturday, February 25.
Arusha music fans should brace themselves for a grand entertainment from one of the favorite artists Cpwaa who is known for his appealing voice and non-stop dancing style while on stage.
Long time outstanding Bongo Flava music star Jo Makini will be in command of the Dar es Salaam party.
More information about the WakaWaka teen parties is available through radio adverts, posters, radio, TV and newspapers.

Ocean View Hotel
this wiki
Ocean View Hotel
|Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
|Ocean View Hotel
|Type of Business:
|Ocean Beach, Vice City
The Ocean View Hotel is a hotel on Ocean Drive in Ocean Beach, Vice City in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The hotel is prominently featured in GTA Vice City as the player's first safehouse in the game.
Available from the start in GTA Vice City after "In the beginning...", the Ocean View Hotel is a green, white and yellow Art Deco hotel facing the eastern beachfront of Ocean Beach. The hotel boasts an interior (featured only in GTA Vice City) that includes a detailed lobby level, as well as the stairway and hallway leading upstairs to Tommy Vercetti's suite. The lobby is styled in a dark Art Deco design, while the suite itself is quintessentially 1980s in design with artsy furnishing and light colors.
In GTA Vice City, the hotel serves various purposes:
- Basically, players can save games in the hotel; while the player is assumed to reside in the suite, the save point is actually located at the reception counter of the lobby so you can quickly save when you enter the hotel, unlike putting the save point in Tommy's room which you need to go upstairs first.
- Players can change to their default "Street" clothing using a clothing icon inside the suite.
- Various weapons attained by collecting hidden packages will spawn along the hallway and within the hotel suite. These include body armor (10 packages), a chainsaw (20 packages), a Colt Python (30 packages), a flamethrower (40 packages), a PSG-1 laser scope sniper rifle (50 packages), a minigun (60 packages) and a rocket launcher (70 packages).
The hotel as a structure still exists in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and is given a cosmetic refinement, as are with many Ocean Drive buildings in the game. However, the hotel lacks the "Ocean View" sign, and features green and yellow as its primary exterior colors.
Shockingly, the full interior still exists in VCS, although trainers are required to see it, the interior is the same as it was in VC, only with far less lower textures, all the items that appear after certain missions are even up in Tommy's room, even the telephone, hidden packages, the poster of Claude, the hockey mask from 'The Job', etc. Entering the interior will, however, cause the game to become glitchy and slower, as it wasn't intended to be entered at all. Even the two songs that played in the hotel from Radio Espantoso still play on the same loop from the original Vice City.
The design of the hotel is partially influenced by The Clevelander Hotel in Miami. The in-game depiction simply widens the facade of the hotel, resulting in a hotel design that appears larger.
Items in Ocean Beach Hotel
In GTA Vice City, Tommy Vercetti's Ocean Beach suite will be filled with various memorabilia either available from the start or available after completion of a specific mission:
- Claude, the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto III, appears on a pop-art poster in the room.
- On the coffee table there are magazines with game art of Lance Vance and Ricardo Diaz.
- Upon completion of "The Party", a suit bag will be hanged in front of the dresser.
- Upon completion of "Rub Out", a broken hidden package will appear on the bar counter, revealing the package contains an unknown white powder (possibly cocaine).
- Upon completion of "The Shootist", a trophy will appear on top of the television.
- Upon completion of "The Job", a hockey mask will appear on the coffee table.
- Upon completion of "Hit the Courier", a bag full of money appears on the bed.
- Upon completion of "G-Spotlight", two posters for Candy Suxxx's "movies" will appear on both sides of the Claude poster, and several of the pictures taken from Martha's Mug Shot will appear.
- Upon completion of Phil's mission "Boomshine Saigon", three barrels of boomshine will appear in a corner of the room, behind the bar.
During Grand Theft Auto: Vice City the followings songs can be heard playing inside the hotel:
- Unaesta - "La Vida es Una Lenteja" (featured on Radio Espantoso)
- Tres Apenas Como Eso - "Yo Te Miré" (featured on Radio Espantoso)
- During the introduction cutscenes of GTA Vice City, the Marco's Bistro scene is actually located within the hotel, but it is normally hidden from view. The room can be accessed by doing a glitch, though the room is pure unsolid
- In GTA IV, on a golf course located in Firefly Island, one of the holes has a scaled-down model of the Ocean View Hotel.
- The window beside Tommy's suite allows bullets to pass through it, so the player can snipe pedestrians while aiming at the window.
- This safehouse, along with Vercetti Estate, are the only ones to feature rewards from side-missions or missions.
- The magazine entitled "Crime" featuring Ricardo Diaz's face located at the coffee table might be a parody of Time Magazine because the magazine's masthead uses the almost similar font used in Time Magazine and features "Man of the Year"

In this article
Should I eat differently now I'm pregnant?Now that you're a mum-to-be, it is important to eat well. This will make sure you get all the nutrients you and your developing baby need.
If you know you haven't been eating as well as you could, it is even more important to start having nutritious, well-balanced meals. Your daily meals should include a variety of foods from the four main food groups shown in the Food Standards Agency's eatwell plate:
- Fruits and vegetables. You can buy these fresh, frozen, tinned, dried or juiced. Aim for at least five portions each day.
- Starchy food. These include bread, pasta, rice and potatoes. Try to choose wholegrain options.
- Foods rich in protein. These include lean meat and chicken, fish, eggs and pulses (such as beans and lentils). Try to aim for at least two portions of fish a week, including of oily fish.
- Dairy foods. These include milk, cheese and yoghurt, which contain calcium.
Dairy products, along with sea fish and sea salt are all good sources of iodine (NHS 2011). You need plenty of iodine in your diet to help your baby's development (Vanderpump 2011).
Do I need to eat more now I'm pregnant?Your body becomes more efficient when you're pregnant, and makes even better use of the energy you get from your food. This means you don't actually need any extra calories for the first six months of pregnancy. Then you only need about 200 extra calories per day for the last three months. Two hundred calories is equivalent to:
- a slice of wholemeal toast with a small can of baked beans
- a toasted pitta bread with two tablespoons of reduced-fat hummus
- a slice of malt loaf or fruit scone with butter or spread
- one slice of cheese on toast
Your appetite is your best guide of how much food you need to eat. You may find your appetite fluctuates throughout your pregnancy:
- In the first few weeks your appetite may fall away dramatically and you may not feel like eating proper meals, especially if you have nausea or sickness.
- During the middle part of your pregnancy your appetite may be the same as before you were pregnant or slightly increased.
- Towards the end of your pregnancy your appetite will probably increase. If you suffer from heartburn or a full feeling after eating you may find it helpful to have small, frequent meals.
The best rule to remember is to eat when you are hungry. Have a good balance of foods every day and you will gain weight steadily as your baby grows.
Should I take any vitamin supplements?In an ideal world, free of morning sickness or food aversions, a balanced diet would be all you'd ever need. But an antenatal vitamin-mineral supplement may be good insurance to make sure you're getting the right nutrients.
It's recommended that you take two important supplements during your pregnancy:
- 400 micrograms (mcg) folic acid a day for the first 12 weeks
- 10mcg of vitamin D a day throughout your pregnancy
Later on in your pregnancy you may need to take an iron supplement (NICE 2008). Your iron levels will be checked during your pregnancy, and your doctor or midwife will advise you about your needs. Calcium is also important while you're pregnant, as you'll now need twice as much each day.
You could take a special pregnancy multivitamin that contains folic acid, vitamin D, iron and calcium. Look for one that also contains vitamin C, vitamin D, B vitamins such as B6 and B12, potassium, zinc, iodine and vitamin E.
Don't take any supplements which contain retinol, the animal form of vitamin A. In large quantities, this can be toxic to unborn babies (EVM 2003). However, the plant-based carotene type of vitamin A is safe in pregnancy (EVM 2003). Also don't take megadoses of vitamins and minerals, as this could be harmful to your baby.
Talk to your doctor or midwife about special supplements you might need if you:
- are a strict vegetarian or vegan
- have diabetes or gestational diabetes
- have pre-eclampsia
- have anaemia
- have had a baby with a low birth weight before
Are there any foods I shouldn't eat during pregnancy?There are some foods that you'll have to steer clear of during pregnancy, because they could be unsafe for your baby:
- Cheeses with a white, mouldy rind, such as brie and camembert, and blue-veined cheeses such as roquefort (FSA n.d.b). All these cheeses could contain listeria, a bacteria that could harm your baby.
- Pate, and raw or undercooked meat and eggs. All are possible sources of bacteria that can harm your unborn baby. When cooking meat and eggs, make sure they are cooked properly (FSA n.d.b).
- Raw seafood, such as oysters, or sushi that has not been frozen before making (FSA n.d.a).
- Shark, swordfish or marlin. These fish contain unsafe levels of naturally occurring mercury (FSA 2004a, FSA 2004b). Tuna contains some mercury too, so it's best you don't eat more than four medium-sized cans, or two fresh tuna steaks per week (COT 2003, FSA 2004a).
- Don't eat liver and liver products (such as pate or liver sausage), because they may contain large amounts of the retinol form of vitamin A. Too much of this could be harmful to your developing baby (FSA n.d.b).
- You should stop drinking alcohol during pregnancy, too.There is no way to know how much alcohol is safe during pregnancy. However, we do know that the more you drink, the higher your baby's risk of long-term health problems. In the first trimester, alcohol can also increase your risk of miscarriage. Since we don't know if any amount of alcohol is safe, experts recommend avoiding it altogether while you're pregnant (DH 2016).
- It's best not to have more than 200mg of caffeine a day. That's two mugs of instant coffee or four cups of tea or five cans of cola a day (FSA n.d.c). You could switch to decaffeinated hot drinks and colas, instead.
Starchy foods, such as potatoes and bread, are an important part of your diet, but try not to over-cook or over-bake them. When starchy food is fried, baked, roasted or grilled at high temperatures a natural chemical, called acrylamide, forms.
Some research has suggested that eating a lot of acrylamide-rich food in pregnancy may be associated with low birth weight (FSA 2012, Pedersen 2012). Experts say more research is needed to be sure. But it's easy to reduce levels of acrylamide in your diet, so you may think it's worth doing anyway:
- Fry potatoes and chips so they take on only a light colour.
- Toast bread so it's pale brown.
- Cook pre-prepared foods that need frying or oven-heating according to the packet instructions. (NHS 2011)
- Try not to eat too many packet biscuits or ready meals, as acrylamides have been found in processed foods.
Store potatoes somewhere dark, cool and dry, but not in the fridge. Putting them in the fridge can increase the amount of sugar they hold, which could lead to higher levels of acrylamide when you bake, roast or fry them (NHS 2011).
Can I go on a diet?Dieting during pregnancy could harm you and your developing baby. Some diets can leave you low on iron, folic acid, and other important vitamins and minerals. Remember, weight gain is one of the most positive signs that you're having a healthy pregnancy.
So if you're eating fresh, wholesome foods and gaining weight, just relax. You're supposed to be getting bigger!
If you are overweight, you can improve your diet by cutting out foods high in fat and sugar and taking some exercise. However, see your doctor first for advice before changing how much you eat or doing more exercise.
What's a healthy way to put on weight?It's best to gain weight gradually. You'll probably gain between 10kg and 12.5kg during your pregnancy (DH 2009).
Bear in mind that weight gain varies among women, and how much weight you put on during your pregnancy depends on many factors. So concentrate on eating a healthy diet of plenty of starchy carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables, protein, and milk and dairy foods, and just a little in the way of fats and sugars.
When you put on weight may be as important as the amount you put on. You may gain the least weight during the first trimester. Your weight should then steadily increase throughout the second trimester, and you may put on the most weight over the third trimester, when your baby is growing the most.
How many meals should I eat?Even if you're not hungry, chances are your baby is, so try to eat regularly. Aim for three meals and two to three healthy snacks in between. And if morning (or all-day) sickness, food aversions, heartburn, or indigestion make eating a chore, eat less, more often. You may find that eating five or six small meals is easier on your body.
Eating high-fibre and wholegrain foods will help to keep you feeling full, and will be more nutritious, too.
Can I still have occasional treats?You don't have to give up all your favourite foods just because you're pregnant. But foods and snacks high in fat, salt and sugar shouldn't be the main part of your diet, either.
So as far as snacks are concerned, try a banana rather than a packet of crisps or tinned fruit in juice rather than ice cream. But don't feel guilty if you fancy the occasional biscuit. Enjoy every bite!

A "Death Star" won't be a part of the U.S. military's arsenal any time soon.
More than 34,000 people have signed an online petition calling on the Obama administration to build the "Star Wars" inspired super-weapon to spur job growth and bolster national defense.
But in a posting Friday on the White House website, Paul Shawcross, an administration adviser on science and space, says a Death Star would cost too much to build -- an estimated $850 quadrillion -- at a time the White House is working to reduce the federal budget.
Besides, Shawcross says, the Obama administration "does not support blowing up planets." Shawcross also points out the administration's unwillingness to spend that money on a project "With a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship."
The U.S., Shawcross points out, is already involved in several out-of-this-world projects, including the International Space Station, which is currently orbiting Earth with a half-dozen astronauts.
According to petitions.whitehouse.gov, any petition that receives 25,000 or more signatures within 30 days requires a response from the White House.

The kids loved this one. They get excited every time they see gnocchi now.
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
418 Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
Yum! My husband and I had this for dinner on New Year's Eve and were not disspointed!
This is a great dish that can be easily customized for different eating-styles. For my man, I made the meal pretty much by the recipe (I had kale and fresh tomatoes and prefer whole-wheat/potato gnocchi, so I used those) and added a couple ounces of Italian sausage (we had it left over from another meal). For me, I nixed the cheese (I'm allergic to milk) and threw in some artichoke hearts (he hates 'em, I love 'em!). De-freakin'-licious! A smattering of roughly chopped fresh herbs tossed over it at the end (parsley, thyme and chervil) made it really special. Yum!
My husband and I really enjoyed this meal as did one of my kids! My husband actually suggested making as a starter to christmas dinner. I agree frying the perogies makes a mess they just stick to the pan. I used spinach in place of chard and placed it in a casserole dish and bakes it for the cheese to melt!
This recipe is a keeper! I have only had gnocchi once before and didn't care for it. However, I trust Eating Well and decided to give it a try. What great flavors and even better the next day in our lunches for work! We are reducing meat-based meals to only 1-2 times per week and this is a great vegetarian option. Pair it with a Caesar salad with homemade dressing and there's no way you can't go away from the dinner table satisfied.

Four airmen killed in a plane crash while battling a fire in South Dakota will be remembered in a memorial service Tuesday.
According to U.S. Northern Command, the four killed were aboard a C-130 equipped with a MAFFS system. Two additional members of the crew survived the crash.
The plane went down around 6 p.m. near Edgemont, South Dakota. Prior to the crash, the crew had been supporting firefighting missions in the state, specifically the White Draw fire.
The dead are Lt. Col. Paul K. Mikeal, Maj. Joseph M. McCormick, Maj. Ryan S. David and Senior Master Sgt. Robert S. Cannon. All were from North Carolina, where the memorial service will be held.
The cause of the crash is not known and the incident is under investigation.
The plane belonged to the North Carolina Air National Guard's 145th Airlift Wing based at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. U.S. Northern Command reports there were casualties including both injuries and deaths. Additional details were not provided.
According to a news release from the 302nd Airlift Wing out of Peterson Air Force Base, the C-130s from the Wyoming Air National Guard's 153rd Airlift Wing and the North Carolina National Guard's 145th Airlift Wing were moved to Cheyenne to fight fires in the northern states.
According to the same news release, the four aircraft from the California Air National Guard's 146th Airlift Wing, and the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command's 302nd Airlift Wing, will continue to operate from Peterson Air Force Base.
MAFFS equipped C-130's have been fighting the Waldo Canyon fire since June 25, two days after the fire started.
Operations of the other MAFFS equipped C-130's were suspended Monday. The fleet will spend the day to get the MAFFS crews together to "reflect, reset and review," said Col. Jerry Champlin, 153rd Air Expeditionary Group commander.

I'm not putting them in the same bracket. There just isn't a clear cut line between what is "banter" and what isn't.
Frankie Boyle makes jokes about disabled children. He's a millionaire. Some guy makes what he perceives to be a joke about a murder victim and gets thrown in jail.
There's definitely a line between banter and what isn't. If anyone I knew started making such comments I'd tell them to stfu, not just think it was banter.
As for Boyle, yes there would seem to be a discrepancy here. But then again, there's nothing stopping the guy getting up on stage and saying the same things is there? He can see if he can be a millionaire too. Boyle may be beyond the pale to many but at least he isn't doing it behind a PC.
