Still in Disbelief
September 14, 2012
© Melanie at Parenting.com
24w, 2d. Have you ever wanted something so terribly much that when you're close to actually getting it, you still can't believe your good fortune?
Yesterday was one of those days for me. I went in for a growth scan--basically a quick ultrasound my maternal-fetal medicine specialist has asked that I do every four week until 36 weeks (at that point, I'll be going for them weekly) to measure the baby's growth and ensure that my high blood pressure isn't restricting it. There, I said it--not just the baby but her. I'm still in disbelief that we're going to be parents of a daughter. In such disbelief that despite my feverish shopping spree over the past few weeks (I seriously could not help myself), I've been thinking about other friends who might be having daughters and what I should pass on to them now or just give away because surely at one of these ultrasounds a sonographer will tell me that they've been mistaken and this baby is in fact another boy. I know, I know--it's crazy. (And despite bagging up all of our sons' super masculine baby boy clothes for donation--we're keeping the more gender-neutral stuff--I still haven't been able to bring myself to drop it off; WHAT IF WE NEED IT BECAUSE THIS IS A BOY?!) I mean, the sonographer at our anatomy scan tried to point out labia and ovaries to my husband and me (but really, you could have told me just about anything and I would have nodded and pretended to understand what she was looking at--yesterday I thought we were looking at the brain when she typed in 'bladder' on the screen). And this time, I could have sworn we had an unobstructed view of the vagina--but then the sonographer asked if we knew the sex or wanted to know, and I said, "YES! It's--well, we were told it's a girl. Is it still a girl?"
She looked at me like I was crazy because obviously girls don't magically turn into boys in utero--and I get that--but I've also heard so many stories of people being told one thing and then being surprised by a child of the other sex at birth. How does that happen--and if it does, why couldn't it happen to me?
Anyway, um, yes, she's still a girl--and she looks totally healthy as of now. Like, 91st percentile healthy (approx. 1 lb, 13 oz.)--which kind of astonished the doctor and sonographer because they're used to seeing the opposite with high blood pressure. I even got a high-five from the doctor when I gave her my most recent blood pressure readings, which have thankfully been pretty close to normal. We're not out of the woods yet, though--she let me know that blood pressure often rises again around 30 to 32 weeks, and if mine does, I'll be going on BP meds at that point--not just the baby aspirin I'm taking now.
But for now, I'm tremendously thankful to have a healthy baby--and a healthy baby girl at that. After 12 boys and zero girls born into my husband's family over the past three generations, she kind of seems like a miracle to me. And all of a sudden, as I was floating out of the doctor's office, I was reminded of the dream family I used to conjure up when I was a little girl; I used to say that I wanted three kids--two older boys and a baby girl. And (knock on wood) I think I might just be getting that. Well, unless she magically turns into a baby boy before my next ultrasound.
Have you ever had a hard time believing just how lucky you could be when it comes to your family? Leave a comment.

I was looking at the PFF rankings. About a month ago Austin Howard was merely average. He's now the 12th best RT (not that great, but not far behind the guys above him) and 7th best run blocking tackle overall. I am sure he will continue to get better too. Wayne Hunter's awfulness may have helped us unearth a real gem here. Would be nice to have this position filled at a cheap rate for a few years.
Not a superstar or anything, but he's definitely stepped up. Once I saw him shutdown the Million Dollar Man in week 1, I knew our RT situation wasn't a big deal anymore. Now we need to get a QB who can go through his reads without crumbling, fumbling, and acting a damn fool.
A-How doin' work.
Have to give coach Guge some credit. I think he has done a very good job with the OL. Brick has bounced back. I think Slauson is grading out above average. And Howard has developed. Not to mention I think he might have been a major reason why Hunter was shipped out.
I made this point in another thread. It is amazing how much a difference it can make going from being the worst in the league at a position to just average. That is a huge leap we made at RT.
Now if we could only do that at QB.
Major priority for next season. This guy needs to be back. I believe he is a RFA anyway so shouldnt be a problem.
by far one of the best players on this JETS team, considering this guy was a nobody and has held his own. you got my vote for JETS player of the year.
BIG HOWIE Yeh Yeeaahhh!!!!
According to PFF at least, he was a superstar. Consistently in the top 5/3 tackles in football. Excelled in both pass/run blocking. Howard is nowhere near that, but it's not a big deal as people have mentioned. Howard is above average and that's more than fine. Can't have all stars lined up everywhere.
Yeah, he should be back. I hope we bring back Moore too. I can see us letting Slauson part ways and replacing him with Ducasse. Ducasse isn't awful but just isn't anything special.
I have no problems with Howard. I think Moore is getting a little too old, and Slausen is horrible. He really needs to be replaced.
Consistency is the key.
If we can get a road grader in the draft at RG (Cooper/Warmack), the line will be beast for a while. And if that happens, I have no problem rolling with Vlad at the LG spot next year. Odds are at least one of (if not both) Slauson and Moore will not be here next year.
Yep, and the best part is that he'll be on the cheap next year because he's a restricted free agent. He's also only 25 years old.
We need young guys on the cheap to really step up for the next couple of years. It'll help mitigate some of the bloated veteran contracts we need to eventually get off the books. Wilkerson has already done that and we own his rights through 2015. He counts less than $2MM against the cap next year(!) Coples is showing great progress and hope and he only counts $2MM against the cap next year.
If you can connect on these first rounders under the new rookie scale, it really pays off these days.
Moore is a really good leader and grades out really well on PFF. He does, however, have a bad hip and he's getting up there in age. Sign to a 1 year incentive laden deal but draft his replacement in this upcoming draft?
Very under appreciated. People are saying no to drafting OL in the first few rounds. But if for some reason we are stuck in our draft spot and the BAP is a blue chipper RT, we should grab him. Our OL and defensive backfield are the closest things we have to super units. OL/Front 7 are the best placed to have such units, so it wouldn't be such a bad thing to invest in.
OK, he's good.
The tragedy is the our coaches were raving about Hunter all off season and played Hunter with the first string most of the pre-season.
The tragedy is that our coaches could not tell top 12 talent from a real loser.
Don't give Guge too much credit for Howard without holding him accountable for propping up Hunter.
What should they've done instead? Shout out in public that he sucks?
The guy had a terrible year last year. In case you didn't notice, NFL coaches are rarely openly critical of players when talking to the media. The real criticism comes behind closed doors.
If you want to blame anyone, don't blame the friggin coaches. Blame Tannenbaum for guaranteeing the bum's salary for this year way back in March. Most positional/depth chart moves are done with financial consciousness, whether we like it or not. Case in point: Vlad Ducasse rotating in this year for 1/3 of the snaps.

http://washingtontimes.com/news/2008...re-bipartisan/Sen. John McCain's record of working with Democrats easily outstrips Sen. Barack Obama's efforts with Republicans, according to an analysis by The Washington Times of their legislative records.
Whether looking at bills they have led on or bills they have signed onto, Mr. McCain has reached across the aisle far more frequently and with more members than Mr. Obama since the latter came to the Senate in 2005.
In fact, by several measures, Mr. McCain has been more likely to team up with Democrats than with members of his own party. Democrats made up 55 percent of his political partners over the last two Congresses, including on the tough issues of campaign finance and global warming. For Mr. Obama, Republicans were only 13 percent of his co-sponsors during his time in the Senate, and he had his biggest bipartisan successes on noncontroversial measures, such as issuing a postage stamp in honor of civil rights icon Rosa Parks.
With calls for change in Washington dominating the campaign, both Mr. Obama, the Democrats' presidential nominee, and Mr. McCain, his Republican opponent, have claimed the mantle of bipartisanship.
But since 2005, Mr. McCain has led as chief sponsor of 82 bills, on which he had 120 Democratic co-sponsors out of 220 total, for an average of 55 percent. He worked with Democrats on 50 of his bills, and of those, 37 times Democrats outnumber Republicans as co-sponsors.
Mr. Obama, meanwhile, sponsored 120 bills, of which Republicans co-sponsored just 26, and on only five bills did Republicans outnumber Democrats. Mr. Obama gained 522 total Democratic co-sponsors but only 75 Republicans, for an average of 13 percent of his co-sponsors.
An Obama campaign spokesman declined to comment on The Times analysis.
McCain campaign surrogate Sen. Lindsey Graham, though, said the numbers expose a difference between the two candidates.
"The number - 55 and 13 - probably shows that one has been more desirous to find common ground than the other. The legislative record of Senator Obama is very thin," said Mr. Graham, South Carolina Republican, who has teamed up with Mr. McCain probably more than any other senator.
The Times study looked at the bills each man introduced as the chief sponsor, and at the bills sponsored by other senators that each man signed onto. The study excluded resolutions and amendments, focusing instead on measures that each man authored and put into the normal legislative process.
Former Sen. James Jeffords of Vermont, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, all independents, were grouped with Democrats because each caucused with Democrats during the time under study.
Bipartisanship is a frequent issue on the campaign trail, with the McCain camp and surrogates such as Mr. Graham arguing the standard is how often someone takes leadership on an issue in defiance of his own party - a measure by which Mr. Obama falls short and Mr. McCain clearly excels.
He even revels in his stances, telling the audience at a values forum at Saddleback Church in California last month his list is extensive: "Climate change, out-of-control spending, torture." He could have added campaign-finance overhaul, immigration, a patients' bill of rights, gun control and tax cuts as other areas on which he's broken with the majority of his party.
At the same forum, Mr. Obama said his major break with Democrats came on congressional ethics, when he sponsored a bill to curb meals and gifts from lobbyists.
In a memo to reporters, his campaign points to bills he worked on that gained near-unanimous support from both parties, including a bill more than a third of the Senate signed onto, sponsored by Sen. Sam Brownback, Kansas Republican, pushing peace initiatives in Sudan, and a bill sponsored by Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, Utah Republican, on charitable contributions that passed by a voice vote in each chamber.
But foremost, his campaign cites his work teaming up in 2006 with Sen. Richard G. Lugar, Indiana Republican, on the Cooperative Proliferation Detection Act, a noncontroversial measure to secure weapons of mass destruction, and with Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican, to force the administration to create a searchable database to track federal spending grants.
Speaking to reporters during the Republican National Convention earlier this month Obama aide Robert Gibbs said Mr. Lugar and Mr. Coburn would back up Mr. Obama's bipartisanship claims.
Mr. Lugar's spokesman said the senator is not doing interviews on the subject. Mr. Coburn, in an interview, said Mr. Obama is a good senator to work with, but said there's no comparison to Mr. McCain's long record.
"Barack is a great guy, a nice guy, he's a good friend of mine. He has passed two pieces of legislation since he's been in the Senate - had his name on two," Mr. Coburn said. He praised Mr. Obama's staff for the work they did on the spending grants bill, but he said Mr. Obama hasn't gone head-to-head against his leadership when it mattered: "Where have you seen him challenge the status quo?"
Mr. McCain on the campaign trail cites his own frequent Democratic legislative allies such as Mr. Lieberman, with whom he's worked on gun control and global warming; Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, who was his partner for immigration and patients' rights; Sen. Russell D. Feingold of Wisconsin, who worked with him on campaign finance; and Sen. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota, who was the top Democrat on the Indian Affairs Committee when Mr. McCain was chairman.
Mr. Feingold, Mr. Dorgan and Mr. Kennedy didn't respond or declined through spokesmen to talk about the issue. Mr. Lieberman, however, has gone in the opposite direction, endorsing Mr. McCain for office and hitting Mr. Obama for failing to live up to his bipartisan claims.
Mr. Graham said it was unfortunate people weren't recognizing their work with Mr. McCain.
"What you've got now is, you've got some people who are afraid to recognize John's bipartisanship because of the nature of the election," Mr. Graham said.
Mr. Graham has teamed up with Mr. McCain on some of his most contentious bills, including the immigration and campaign-finance fights, and said they both have "the scars to prove" they were in the fights.
"I have experienced the price that's been paid to help John do some difficult things since 2004," he said.
Those fights are part of the reason Mr. McCain had trouble securing the Republican presidential nomination, including winning less than 50 percent of Republican primary voters' support, despite clearing the field less than halfway through the primaries.
The Times analysis found Mr. McCain's most frequent Democratic teammates are Mr. Dorgan, with whom he shared leadership of the Indian Affairs Committee and who co-sponsored 23 of Mr. McCain's bills, and Mr. Lieberman, who signed onto 15 McCain bills.
Mr. Obama's most frequent Republican partners were Mr. Lugar, who co-sponsored nine Obama bills, and Sen. Norm Coleman, Minnesota Republican, who signed on to eight of Mr. Obama's measures.
The bill on which Mr. McCain attracted the most support in the past few years was his plan to combat greenhouse-gas emissions. That bill garnered 16 co-sponsors, 14 of whom were Democrats, including Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr., Democrats' vice-presidential nominee. Mr. Obama himself signed onto another of Mr. McCain's global-warming bills.
Mr. Obama's best successes in attracting co-sponsors came on a bill to boost the union's bargaining power with the Federal Aviation Administration, on which all 38 co-sponsors were Democrats, and a bill to issue a postage stamp honoring Mrs. Parks, which garnered 24 Democrats and 14 Republicans.
The Times study didn't look at voting, but Congressional Quarterly conducts annual studies of senators' voting records.
Over his Senate career, Mr. McCain has voted with the majority of Senate Republicans about 85 percent of the time, while in his three years in the Senate Mr. Obama has voted with his party 97 percent of the time.
but isnt obama the one for change?

Acts 5:39"But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God."
first off, there is already a thread for all this talk.
but if you think this Mccain is the same one that was running for office in 2000 your a clown. Its common sense to know that Mcsame has changed his stance on issues to get aligned w/ the Repub party (i.e Palin). Its fact he has voted the same as Bush at least 90% of the time and that in order for someone to be head of the Republican ticket they have to get in line w/ the party.
anyone who calls the candidates McSame or NoBama obviously cannot be taken seriously.
'In order to alter the inertial mass of weights, you must become one with them, like a machine, the totality of your motion is as one'
McCain used to be a maverick, now he's just Bush III.
Isn't that amazing?
Did McCain change, or did the media coverage of him change.
Of course, the reasons are obvious. The media loved him for 12+ years because he was willing to buck republicans, and the media hates republicans. Now that he is running for the big office under the republican banner, the media can't possibly treat him like they did before.
Personally, I agree that he is probably too old.
I also think that Obama is too new.
This is the state of our elections, once again, we have a crappy choice.

'In order to alter the inertial mass of weights, you must become one with them, like a machine, the totality of your motion is as one'
Its real simple, If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, well you know the rest. Mccain ran an honorable campaign vs Bush(04). Once he secured the nomination he immediately told the world the straight talk express would run
a honorable General Election. Everyone believe him because after all you can't question the integrity of a POW.
Well Mccain has basically sold his soul to the Republican Party on his journey to POTUS.
1.Most of his Ads are lies, you know its bad when Karl Rove even says Mccain Ads are suspect
2. Everyone knows he voted with Bush 90% of the time which leaves him 10%. Well he flipped on the 10% to appease the Republican Party so now its really 100% Bush/Cheney
3. Experience, Experience, Experience against Obama but then He picks Palin. The world knows Palin was picked only for Political purposes and isn't qualified to be President If God forbid something happen to Mccain. So much for his Country First , Experience Theme........
4.Mccain picking Palin also shows someone else is running the show and not Mccain which is scary.
His VP selection pretty much sums up why Mccain is being trashed by everyone. He sold his Soul and has shown he would do anything to be POTUS
Mccain has thrown intergrity out the window and the Media is starting to pick up on it.

As a former military person I would think you would have more respect for a guy who endured the torture he did. Ya, he uses it a lot, but Obama would be doing the same thing and don't tell me he wouldn't.
There is no doubt they are lies and they are dispicable. I was hoping that these two would be above the fray, but McCain was losing his arse, so he went on the attack and found that negative campaigning works. But it is going to turn off the independents in the long run and he will most likely lose b/c of this. Obama was suppose to be the campaign of change and look at his recent commericals. He is just doing the same old politics that he claims to be above. He is only above them when he is winning by a large margin.
And Obama voted along what party line? 100%? I don't know for sure what it is but I am guessing it is a lot higher then 90%, so not sure what your point is. He has major legislation that proves he reaches across party lines, Obama doesn't have any to show.
So you believe Obama does not have any experience then. And what is Biden? He wasn't a political move to shore up Obama's limited foreign policy? Come on - put down the kool aid and start seeing it from both sides. Everything these guys do is political - Obama is no different.
Uh, ya and Obama makes all of his decisions with no advice or input. Simply look at Obama when he speaks without a teleprompter. Umm, Uhh, Umm, Uhh, Umm. McCain is a terrible speaker, but Obama is terrible without a script.
Never shall innocent blood be shed, yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The Three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of God.
I called him a Hero myself but I'm 100% sure the Media is afraid to question his character because of his POW status.
Well this election is about Change against Bush and the Republican Party. Mccain is running on change now but his Voting Record is identical to Bush. Please give me examples of Obama Ads being anywhere outrages as Lipstick on a pig(Phrase used by Mccain himself against Hillary) or Obama teaching sex ed to 6 year olds or Obama raising Middle class taxes. All are straight lies.
Yes he has experience. We seen him on the World stage over the last two years. His present alone does a 180 when it comes to our foreign image. He was right about Iraq in 2003. If the Democrat big wigs were running Obama he would have picked Hillary as his VP. You and I both know Mccain choice wasn't Palin so somebody is controlling the man.
We have enough political threads already. If you guys can't keep it civil they will be locked

Think I'm just going to prioritise mostly middle back instead of last for a change , see what happens
Cheers for the in put guys
These are a good activation and/or strengthening exercise you can use as well. Keep your elbows locked and use a full ROM. 1-2 sets of 12 reps prior to bench pressing and 3-4 sets of 8 reps for strength/mass.
I saw a cool video by Dr Jim Stoppani about straight arm "dips" specifically activating middle traps
Hanging shrugs/scapular retractions. This is a movement that requires strict form and focus, but blasts the middle and lower traps.

Remember why you started.
Can you send a link good sir?
I only started hammering my upper back within the last year. As of four months ago due to a chest strain I actually started training it twice a week and my whole body exploded. Especially my back, which has always been a strong point for me, but it could always be better.
one of the best things about training is you can always learn more from others. The moment you stop believing that is the moment your progress comes to a screeching halt.
I like the above video except that the head and neck are extended...most people have excessive SCM activity and shortening as it is. Tuck the chin and flex the neck to maintain deep cervical flexor activity and increase the ROM while doing these.
Exactly what I was going to recommend that ZirRed posted about the prone Db shrug. These are great and really focuses on the mid trap.

In the same vein, overhead shrugs work well. In the top position of an overhead press hold the weight, and use your move your scapula up and down.

(CE:858b-860a) DAYR AL-SALIB. [This entry about a small monastery consists of two parts. The first tells the history; the second the architecture, but chiefly of the church.] History This small monastery is situated on the edge of the desert in the village called Hajar Danfiq on the left bank of the Nile. The site is ancient, for it is named in the Arabic Life of Pisentius (O'Leary, PO22) and in that of Saint Andrew, superior of Dayr al-Salib (Winlock and Crum, 1926, Vol 1, pp. 114-15). It was not until 1668 that it was cited by European travelers, the Capuchin fathers Protais and Francois (Sauneron, 1974, p.93). They were to be copied by J. VANSLEB (1677, P. 411; 1678, P. 246). At the beginning of the eighteen century C. SICARD (1982, Vol. 2, p. 227) knew this monastery. S. CLARKE (1912, pp. 126-30) described its church and drew up a plan of it. U. Monneret de Villard (1926, Vol. 2, p. 62, fig. 97) corrected this plan. Unfortunately this ancient building fell into ruin and was demolished in 1917 (Clarke, 1919, p. 527). It was to be replaced by a modern structure. The present state of the site was described by O. Meinardus (1965, pp. 311-12; 1977, p. 425). This monastery is also sometimes called that of Shenute ('Abd al-Masih Salib, 1924, p. 176). It is perhaps the one noticed by ABU SALIH THE ARMENIAN (1895, p. 280) at the beginning of the thirteenth century. It rather seems that it took the name of a neighboring monastery, since fallen to ruin (Winlock and Crum, 1926, Vol. 1, p. 112, n. 12). RENÉ-GEORGES COQUIN MAURICE MARTIN, S.J. Architecture Dayr al-Salib (Monastery of the Holy Cross) is an unimportant and today uninhabited monastery. Down to the second decade of the twentieth century it contained an old church arranged as a three-aisle basilica (Clarke, 1912, pp. 126ff.). Still standing were the sanctuary, the remains of the khurus (room between naos and sanctuary), several pillars (taken from pharaonic buildings), and the outer walls on the long sides. In the twelfth or thirteenth century—probably after the loss of the original wooden roof—it was converted to a vaulted structure. Further, in the course of several building operations the separation between the khurus and the naos became more and more strongly marked. The church is an example of the way in which, with the increased frequency of masses in the Mamluk period, the original side rooms of the apse were converted into additional altar areas by pulling down the former entrance walls. The remaining churches of the monastery are modern, as is the not very high surrounding wall. PETER GROSSMANN

As the ship began it's final plunge, comically, a pop-up ad for Consumer Reports appeared at the bottom of the screen.
I guess this freighter isn't going to be rated particularly high.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
You never know. Some people might like freighters that sink slow. I mean, all the people got off.
I would definitely not put that freighter in the top ratings. The sea, perhaps. Davy Jones always wins.
best cruises to send your mother in law on?
I dunno. I would need to know how many times it completed a voyage successfully. After all, it only sank ONCE, right? Metrics are everything. And you could do a root cause analysis to find out why it sank, and implement process improvements so it wouldn't happen again.
On the other hand...
And CR still keeps sending the freight company surveys asking them to rate their ship.
It was being towed to China for reconstruction work, and broke in half during a storm. There was no one aboard, and the videos were taken from the ocean-going tug.
terri c - but it couldn't sink again could it?
You and I might think it could not sink a second time, but that doesn't mean anyone else would agree. I worked on a project once where once a week the team would meet for 2 hours to update the "Gant charts" (a type of progress measurement that project managers love). The managers had very little idea of the substance of the project, and might very well not have recorded the ship sinking as a "one-time event."
Riveting stuff, Grumpy, watching videos of a scow sinking. What other screaming madness goes on in your house? :)

The number of adults living with HIV/AIDS in Malawi is 11.90% while in Yemen it is 0.10%.
This entry gives an estimate of the percentage of adults (aged 15-49) living with HIV/AIDS. The adult prevalence rate is calculated by dividing the estimated number of adults living with HIV/AIDS at yearend by the total adult population at yearend.

Malawi consumes 0.0218 gallons of oil per day per capita while Yemen consumes 0.2664
This entry is the total oil consumed in gallons per day (gal/day) divided by the population. The discrepancy between the amount of oil produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes, refinery gains, and other complicating factors.
Source: CIA World Factbook
The life expectancy at birth in Malawi is 50.92 while in Yemen it is 63.36.
This entry contains the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year, if mortality at each age remains constant in the future. The entry includes total population as well as the male and female components. Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages. It can also be thought of as indicating the potential return on investment in human capital and is necessary for the calculation of various actuarial measures.
Source: CIA World Factbook
The GDP per capita in Malawi is $900 while in Yemen it is $2,500
This entry shows GDP on a purchasing power parity basis divided by population as of 1 July for the same year. A nation's GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates is the sum value of all goods and services produced in the country valued at prices prevailing in the United States. This is the measure most economists prefer when looking at per-capita welfare and when comparing living conditions or use of resources across countries. The measure is difficult to compute, as a US dollar value has to be assigned to all goods and services in the country regardless of whether these goods and services have a direct equivalent in the United States (for example, the value of an ox-cart or non-US military equipment); as a result, PPP estimates for some countries are based on a small and sometimes different set of goods and services. In addition, many countries do not formally participate in the World Bank's PPP project that calculates these measures, so the resulting GDP estimates for these countries may lack precision. For many developing countries, PPP-based GDP measures are multiples of the official exchange rate (OER) measure. The differences between the OER- and PPP-denominated GDP values for most of the wealthy industrialized countries are generally much smaller.

The number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in Malawi is 83.50 while in Yemen it is 56.77.
This entry gives the number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in the same year; included is the total death rate, and deaths by sex, male and female. This rate is often used as an indicator of the level of health in a country.

The per capita consumption of electricity in Malawi is 102kWh while in Yemen it is 176kWh.
This entry consists of total electricity generated annually plus imports and minus exports, expressed in kilowatt-hours. The discrepancy between the amount of electricity generated and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is accounted for as loss in transmission and distribution.

The annual number of births per 1,000 people in Malawi is 41.28 while in Yemen it is 34.37.
This entry gives the average annual number of births during a year per 1,000 persons in the population at midyear; also known as crude birth rate. The birth rate is usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth. It depends on both the level of fertility and the age structure of the population.

The GINI index measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of family income. In Malawi is 39.00 while in Yemen it is 37.70.
This index measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of family income in a country. The index is calculated from the Lorenz curve, in which cumulative family income is plotted against the number of families arranged from the poorest to the richest. The index is the ratio of (a) the area between a country's Lorenz curve and the 45 degree helping line to (b) the entire triangular area under the 45 degree line. The more nearly equal a country's income distribution, the closer its Lorenz curve to the 45 degree line and the lower its Gini index, e.g., a Scandinavian country with an index of 25. The more unequal a country's income distribution, the farther its Lorenz curve from the 45 degree line and the higher its Gini index, e.g., a Sub-Saharan country with an index of 50. If income were distributed with perfect equality, the Lorenz curve would coincide with the 45 degree line and the index would be zero; if income were distributed with perfect inequality, the Lorenz curve would coincide with the horizontal axis and the right vertical axis and the index would be 100.

With its 15,447,500 people Malawi is the 64th largest country in the world by population. It is the 99th largest country by area with 118,484 square kilometers. Established in 1891, the British protectorate of Nyasaland became the independent nation of Malawi in 1964. After three decades of one-party rule under President Hastings Kamuzu BANDA the country held multiparty elections in 1994, under a provisional constitution that came into full effect the following year. Current President Bingu wa MUTHARIKA, elected in May 2004 after a failed attempt by the previous president to amend the constitution to permit another term, struggled to assert his authority against his predecessor and subsequently started his own party, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in 2005. As president, MUTHARIKA has overseen economic improvement but because of political deadlock in the legislature, his minority party has been unable to pass significant legislation, and anti-corruption measures have stalled. Population growth, increasing pressure on agricultural lands, corruption, and the spread of HIV/AIDS pose major problems for Malawi. MUTHARIKA was reelected to a second term in May 2009.

Who we are
Support CSE
CSE Bloggers
CSE in news
Director General of CSE and publisher of Down To Earth, an environmentalist pushing for changes in policies and practices and mindsets. More>>
We were standing in the only street of this small village called Mohda. Located in the forested region of Chhattisgarh, the village had no access to the road and markets. The women of the village surrounded me. They wanted me to know that malaria was a serious problem for them. They wanted something to be done about it. I was taken aback because we were talking about solar energy—the state government had set up a small power station in the village, and we were there to learn more about it. "What's the connection?" I asked.
In Goa mines are closed. In Bellary, iron ore mines, once closed, have been opened on the condition that they will now follow a plan for environmental restoration and will not indulge in unseemly and distasteful activities. But the institutions for checking the reformed miners are still in disarray. They cannot monitor and enforce the rules. So, believe it or not, little will actually change in the Bellary landscape.
The rupee has crashed, growth is down and there is panic that the India story may be over or, at least, seriously dented. For most commentators, the underlying reason for the decline is green regulations. They think environmentalists are squarely to blame.
The outrage over the suspension of an official, Durga Shakti Nagpal, for simply doing her job—check illegal sand mining in the rivers of Uttar Pradesh—has highlighted a crucial issue. It is now evident that illegal mining of sand from rivers and beaches is rampant and the underbelly of this industry (I'm calling it industry for want of a better word) is powerful and connected. Worse still, all this is happening in violation of the orders of the apex court of the country.
The tragic loss of 23 young lives because of contaminated food in a Bihar school is unacceptable. But it is also a fact that the Mid Day Meal Scheme, under which cooked food is compulsorily provided to children in government schools, is too important and critical to give up on. The only questions that matter are: why does the scheme not work as well as it should and what can be done to fix it?
Natural gas as fuel has environmental benefits, particularly when compared to burning coal for power generation or using diesel for vehicles. So when the government increases—in fact, doubles—the price of domestically produced natural gas it has far-reaching implications for air quality and public health. But these benefits do not matter at all in the price-benefit calculations.
The floods in the Himalayas have been ferocious and deadly. Fears are that the final body count could run into several thousands. There is no clear estimate of the number of villages wiped out, property destroyed, roads washed away and hydropower projects damaged in the mountain state of Uttarakhand. The mountains are bleeding and its people have been left battered, bruised and dead.
Have you ever noticed the footpath? Does it even exist? And if it does what is its height from the road? What should be the ideal height that allows for pedestrians to walk without fear of being run over or breaking a leg clambering onto it, while not allowing cars to park and take over this public space?
If you know that a sector has arrived when it makes for trade wars between countries, then solar energy clearly has. Last year, the US imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports of solar panels; now the EU has proposed the same. The Chinese have in turn threatened that they will take action against European exports of poly-silicon, the material used for manufacturing solar panels. In February this year, the US filed a case against India at the World Trade Organization (WTO) for "favouring sourcing of panels from domestic manufacturers".
Engineers require re-training, not the Ganga. This is where I had left our conversation last fortnight. Why did I say this? The inter-ministerial committee I participated in as a member was discussing how much the ecological flow—the water that should be left in the river for ecosystem and livelihood purposes—should be at all times. How much water is needed for the river to be a river; and not a drain?

(So let the turkey burn. Have a beer.) Sheriff admits to selling old body armor to military personnel, resigns. How Obama and Palin will spend Thanksgiving. South Korea's defense chief steps down. Feds working to ban chemicals in herbal synthetic marijuana. This woman was trapped for 20 days in a bathroom. Lord Flight is sorry for saying changes to welfare would give poor people an incentive to breed. Public Comments |

Wells will do we'll in Yankee Stadium. He is a good person and well add a lot of maturity to the club house. Plus he is going back to the Eastern Division.
Getting Wells would be sign of Yankees' desperation
By Jay Jaffe
Given the combination of a decidedly unfinished roster and a spate of spring training injuries, the Yankees have spent the past few weeks picking up other teams' roster flotsam, particularly when it comes to outfielders. In the wake of Curtis Granderson's broken forearm and Mark Teixeira's wrist sprain, the month of March has seen New York add Ben Franscisco, who had been released by the Indians, and Brennan Boesch, who had been cut by the Tigers. Neither of those moves had much impact on payroll; Francisco was signed to a minor league deal, while Boesch signed a split contract that would pay him $1.5 million if he's in the majors.
On Sunday the Yankees agreed to a move that will carry a bigger cost, both financially and symbolically: if it becomes final, they will acquire the Angels' Vernon Wells, who has spent the past two years unable to live up to a seven-year, $126 million contract that still has two years and $42 million remaining. The Angels will pick up the vast majority of the 34-year-old outfielder's salary; ESPN's Buster Olney says the Yankees will pay about $13 million over the two years, and other national writers have confirmed that figure.
That's an exorbitant amount for for a player who's been worth just 0.3 Wins Above Replacement (Baseball-Reference.com version) over the past two years, and who will also cost the Yankees an as-yet-unnamed low-level minor leaguer as well. New York would do just as well to sift through its other options, which include minor leaguers Melky Mesa and Zoilo Almonte, as well as Juan Rivera and the aforementioned Francisco and Boesch.
For as much salary as they're taking on, the Yankees have at least figured out a way to make it work to their advantage for luxury tax purposes. With nearly $210 million committed for 2013, they're already certain to blow past this year's tax threshold of $178 million, but they still harbor hope of getting below next year's $189 million threshold, which would reset their marginal tax rate and allow them to obtain revenue sharing rebates. The luxury tax isn't computed based on a team's actual payroll, however. Instead it uses the average annual value of the contracts, which in Wells' case comes to "only" $18 million a year ($126 million divided by seven years). On the other hand, the cash considerations are applicable to the team's actual payroll. According to the New York Daily News, of the $13 million the Yankees are paying, $12 million will be paid this year, leaving the Angels to cover the other $9 million. That will push the Yankees' taxes even higher this year, but with the Angels paying $20 million out of next year's $21 million, the Yankees would actually get a $2 million tax credit ($20 million minus $18 million), leaving them a bit more leeway to limbo under the $189 million limit.
Wells, who was a three-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner during his time in Toronto (1999-2010, though less than 200 plate appearances before 2002), has been a near-total flop since being traded to the Angels in January 2011, perhaps not coincidentally the point when his annual salary rose above $20 million per year. He has hit an abysmal .222/.258/.409 in 791 plate appearances over the past two seasons while spending just over three months on the disabled list due to groin and thumb injuries; the latter required in-season surgery to repair a torn ligament last year.
As noted a few weeks back, Wells' power (36 homers and .187 isolated power in two years) has prevented him from truly becoming the game's Least Valuable Player. His 0.3 WAR over that span (-0.8 in 2011, 0.5 last year) isn't even in the bottom 200 among position players with at least 100 plate appearances, though none of the less valuable players were making $44 million during that time. His real performance distinction is his .258 on-base percentage over the past two seasons, the fifth-lowest of any player with at least 500 PA; driving that is a major-league-low .218 batting average on balls in play — which may owe to the cumulative impact of multiple hand injuries — and a 4.6 percent unintentional walk rate.
Though bad enough in its own right, Wells' collapse has carried an even bigger price when one considers the Angels' failure to make the playoffs in either year. The principal player dealt for him in 2011, Mike Napoli, was quickly flipped to the Rangers by Toronto and wound up being a key difference-maker in that year's AL West race for Texas, while Wells' continued presence on the roster last year was part of the reason that Mike Trout remained in the minors until late April.
In Anaheim, Wells faced the likelihood of another season as a reserve outfielder behind starters Trout, Peter Bourjos and Josh Hamilton as well as designated hitter Mark Trumbo. Exactly how he'll fit into the Yankee lineup remains to be seen. With Granderson out until early May, manager Joe Girardi will be left to pick his poison from among righties Wells, Francisco and Rivera and the lefthanded Boesch, all of whom are coming off terrible seasons with the bat:
Player | PA | HR | AVG | OBP | SLG | TAv |
Wells | 262 | 11 | .230 | .279 | .403 | .256 |
Rivera | 339 | 9 | .244 | .286 | .375 | .245 |
Francisco | 207 | 4 | .240 | .285 | .385 | .242 |
Boesch | 503 | 12 | .240 | .286 | .372 | .237 |
Via True Average, which adjusts for park and league scoring environments, Wells actually had the best season of the bunch thanks to his power, but that's not exactly saying much. There isn't even a whole lot of optimism to be had in terms of platooning. Looking at each of the four players' three-year splits:
Player | PA vs LHP | AVG | OBP | SLG | PA vs RHP | AVG | OBP | SLG |
Wells | 384 | .243 | .305 | .440 | 1053 | .245 | .286 | .462 |
Rivera | 429 | .270 | .329 | .434 | 886 | .243 | .298 | .368 |
Francisco | 324 | .247 | .315 | .408 | 373 | .252 | .324 | .380 |
Boesch | 374 | .286 | .348 | .420 | 1113 | .250 | .305 | .412 |
Wells has a negligible platoon split in terms of OPS, though that's being propped up by a 2010 line against righties (.291/.342/.553) that may well be part of ancient history. Boesch actually has a reverse platoon split, though the sample size isn't all that big.
In all, it's an unappealing set of options that underscores the weakness of general manager Brian Cashman's offseason work, which included a failure to find a suitable platoon counterpart for Ichiro Suzuki, who has hit just .277/.308/.361 line over the past two seasons, including .283/.307/.342 in 443 PA against lefties, and who will be expected to take over rightfield for the departed Nick Swisher. For comparison's sake, it's worth noting that Suzuki, who will be paid the same amount as Wells by the Yankees, was worth 1.8 WAR over the past two years.
With the free agent departures of Swisher, Russell Martin, Eric Chavez, Raul Ibanez and Andruw Jones, the absences of Alex Rodriguez, Teixeira, Granderson and probably Derek Jeter due to injuries, the so-called Bronx Bombers will feature only one of the 10 players who hit at least 10 homers for them last year in Robinson Cano. Wells (11 homers) and free agent signing Kevin Youkilis (19 homers) do offer some power, but both are years removed from their primes as hitters. As things stand, it's entirely possible that Cano, Brett Gardner, Youkilis and Eduardo Nunez, Jeter's likely fill-in, will be the only players in the Opening Day lineup who topped the league average .320 on-base percentage as well.
Apparently, $200 million a year doesn't buy what it used to.
This article has been updated to reflect the impact of Wells' contract on the Yankees' 2013 and 2014 luxury tax status.

Angels' bullpen derailed in Game 4
Yankees rough up unit after strong start to postseason
ANAHEIM -- The Angels' bullpen was the club's nagging question mark coming into the postseason.
Through six games against the the titans of the American League East, the Red Sox and Yankees, the unit excelled.
On the seventh day, the bullpen did not rest. It got pounded.Augmented by the addition of starter Ervin Santana, the relief corps had yielded three earned runs in 20 innings before Game 4 of the American League Championship Series on Tuesday night, when the Yankees erupted for six runs in five innings against the troupe.
While Jonathan Papelbon and friends were supposed to give Boston a major advantage in the late innings in the American League Division Series, it was the Sox's 'pen that imploded as the Angels' bullpen held firm.Heading into Game 5 of the AL Championship Series, needing a win to stay alive, it will be all hands on deck for manager Mike Scioscia. Apart from Alex Rodriguez tying Game 2 against closer Brian Fuentes with a long ball and Jorge Posada taking Kevin Jepsen deep in Game 3 to force extra innings, the Angels' bullpen produced outs at key points against the Yankees before things got out of hand on Tuesday night. "Our bullpen's done well," Scioscia said. "It's only going to be as strong as our starting pitchers getting to a certain point in games. We need to have our starters give us some innings if we're going to win these games." Scott Kazmir couldn't get an out in the fifth inning of Game 4, bringing the bullpen into play earlier than Scioscia wanted. Joe Saunders went seven innings in a strong Game 2 start after John Lackey lasted 5 2/3 innings in Game 1. Jered Weaver, fighting command of his fastball, didn't get past the fifth inning in Game 3. The bullpen stands ready and confident whenever it is called upon, according to one of its anchors, veteran Darren Oliver. "We have a lot of leaders on this team," said Oliver, the team's distinguished elder statesman. "People aren't aware of it, but we have a lot of strong personalities besides Torii [Hunter] and Lackey. They're the two who get the media attention, but we've got leadership all over the room." The bullpen underwent a complete overhaul this season, with the departure of Francisco Rodriguez to the Mets as a free agent and the loss of setup man Scot Shields to knee surgery in late May. What's more, Jose Arredondo, experiencing elbow tenderness early in the season, never recaptured his sensational 2008 form in a setup role. Adding to the strain on the bullpen was a decidedly unstable rotation that didn't fall into place until late August with the arrival of Kazmir and the reemergence of Saunders and Santana alongside Lackey and Weaver. Into the void left by Shields and Arredondo stepped Jason Bulger and Jepsen, a pair of power-armed right-handers. Only Oliver -- indispensable from start to finish in a variety of roles -- delivered more bullpen innings (73) than Bulger, with 65 2/3. Well-traveled right-hander Matt Palmer, who surrendered four earned runs in 1 2/3 innings in Game 4, pitched superbly in middle relief after winning his first six outings as an emergency starter. "We've had a nice blend of experience and young guys," said Fuentes, who led the Majors in saves with 48 and has delivered two more in the postseason. "It took a while for roles to form, but a lot of guys have come through and gotten the job done." The odd-man out in the rotation, Santana was the losing pitcher in Game 2 on an unearned run, the result of a Maicer Izturis throwing error. The hard-throwing righty came back to claim the Game 3 win after pitching a scoreless 11th inning and watching Jeff Mathis unload his walk-off double.

Mouse battery life. What's in a number?
If you love the convenience of long battery life, Logitech mice will make you happy. In fact, the Logitech® Marathon Mouse M705 will last you up to three years without a trip to the store for two AAs. |
Behind the numbersMouse battery life isn't a one-size-fits-all number. It varies more from person to person than just about any other battery-powered device. And there's no industry standard for calculating it. We do our best to come up with a battery life that a typical user can expect to get. But this can vary greatly depending on your situation. A light user might get over three years of battery life with a mouse, while a very heavy user might only get one year with the same mouse. |
The big factorsThere are a lot of variables that can affect the battery life of your mouse. While there's no magic formula to figure out exactly how long your batteries will last, knowing the main factors can help you get a better idea of what to expect—and in some cases help you go longer between battery changes.
Looking for a mouse with a battery life so long you won't remember the last time you changed batteries? Check out our mice with extended battery life. |
Logitech® Unifying receiver

And it's easy to add a compatible wireless keyboard or mouse to the same receiver. Build your ideal combo. Add something. Replace something. It's as simple as can be and you'll use only one USB port. |
Uniting your setupYour laptop is convenient. You use it on the couch, in the kitchen, at the coffee shop—wherever you want. Logitech makes your laptop as comfortable as it is convenient with portable mice and notebook-ready keyboards. |
Plug it inWith the tiny wireless receiver, there's no need to plug and unplug when you're on the move. Or deal with the hassle of multiple receivers. The tiny Logitech® Unifying receiver stays in your notebook and lets you add devices as you need them. |
Forget about itThe Unifying receiver is small and always ready. So small, in fact, you can leave it plugged into your USB port when you're on the move—without worrying about breaking or losing it. |
Add to itIt's fast and easy to add a compatible wireless mouse, keyboard, or number pad to your receiver. You can mix, match, upgrade, or replace up to six devices—now or in the future—using just one USB port.
To connect a new device, you simply open the connection software, click "Pair new device", and turn the device off and on. That's it. |
A tiny dynamoThe Unifying receiver packs plenty of power. Built with Logitech® Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, Logitech mice with the Unifying receiver give you the reliability of a cord—with the freedom of cordless. You'll enjoy fast data transmission with virtually no delays or dropouts. |

Logitech® Advanced Optical Tracking: More Mousing on More Surfaces
From Amazon® to Netflix® to Facebook® , the computer has become the hub of entertainment and information. But in order to enjoy all computers and the Internet have to offer, you need something to help you navigate through this vast digital world. That's where the trusty computer mouse comes in. |
Tracking innovation: It's all about the anglesWhen Logitech engineers sought to improve the performance of optical technology on these glossy surfaces, they took inspiration from laser mice—which offer more precision on more surfaces than their optical counterparts. |
Building a better (optical) mouseWhile Logitech Advanced Optical Tracking uses LED light, we've moved the sensor from a position perpendicular to the surface to an angle similar to that of a laser mouse. Logitech mice with Advanced Optical Tracking look for scattered light from the specular (or reflective) direction—like a laser mouse—instead of capturing light from above—like standard optical mice. |
Get into your digital worldIf you think about it for a moment, when you have a mouse that tracks on more surfaces and gets a better battery life, then you can forget about the tools (i.e., the mouse) that help you get into your what you love more, and focus more on what you love. While that might not be sexy, we think it's pretty important. Logitech Advanced Optical Tracking.Better tracking, better battery life. Better mousing when you're getting into your digital world. |

Surface Creek
Photo by Hank Lohmeyer A site location study for the proposed Cedaredge wastewater treatment plant was submitted to the town board on Nov. 15. Among the seven sites looked at was one town-owned parcel near the south end of the Cedaredge Golf Course driving range that is currently used for course maintenance activities (quonset structure). Golf course residents object to the site as do some town trustees. Looking to the north, the golf course clubhouse in seen is the background.About two dozen residents of the Cedaredge golf course neighborhood attended the Nov. 15 town board meeting to give input on the location of a new sewer plant.
