Diner Reviews
OpenTable - I booked this weeks in
advance, called and left a message with the restaurant on the day of the dinner I was hosting - only to discover it was CLOSED UNTIL APRIL when the seven of us got there!"
Dined on 2/5/2014
They were out of sparking water,
bud light, kettle one vodka, only had two types of oysters, took over an hour and a half to get food. We were told that they sold a lot of things the day before.There were several other mishaps. Orders were wrong, etc. Not sure they should be out of things on a Saturday night. After while waiting for our dinner, I ordered another dish to go. The dish to go go came in a brown bag before the food I odered over an hour ago. It took 45 minutes to get 12 oysters. I am not a picky person and I eat out often. This bill should have been cut in half at the very least. So many things went wrong that it was comical. Although I pass this place every day I will not return."

We had a great experience at Nola.
Great food, great service. There were a couple hiccups through the night but the staff and manager at Nola did everything they could to make sure we were happy."
Dined on 1/18/2014
After sitting for 29 minutes, a
server came by our table and poured us water. After another ten minutes, he took our drink orders. I must report that the restaurant was only 3/4 filled and moderately busy. We ordered a seafood tower for starters - overcooked shrimp, paltry crab legs, very good tuna, mussels and oysters pretty good but not excellent. When our entrees came, my husband was brought the wrong dish. My entree small plate (Lobster and waffles) was ridiculously small for 19 dollars - about the width of a half of a slice of american cheese. The waffle was soggy and the lobster needed to be cut with a knife. A little extra customer service or even a manager check in would have gone very far for us. We will not be returning."
Dined on 12/31/2013
My husband and I were excited to
try this new oyster bar in the Sono area of Norwalk. We loved the ambiance. It has an old school pub feeling with dark wood and large inviting bar. The two fireplaces are cozy and romantic touch. We had cocktails which were spot on and thoroughly enjoyed the seafood tower. The seafood was very fresh and the tuna crudo and mussels were prepared in tasty fashion. We also had the lobster and waffles which was something I hadn't had before, but really enjoyed. I can't wait to go back and I am glad Nola is here!"
Dined on 12/31/2013
Great Burger and appetizers. Our
whole table got the burger. All around great place for a weekend dinner. Would def. go back."
Dined on 12/27/2013
Yeay finally a restaurant not
afraid to use spices. Everything was delish and the 4 of us were very happy. Def going back. They should relocate to Stamford! Closer to me! Lobster on waffles was killer as was gumbo and kale salad and shrimp with grits."
Dined on 12/13/2013
The lobster with the waffle is
just DELICIOUS! And the shrimp with grits had just the right bite. The oysters were so fresh!"
Dined on 11/15/2013
Wow what a great Brunch! The Corn
Bread Waffles are out of this world good & go great with Lobster and/or Eggs. The Cabbage & Mushroom Salad was a great way to start our meal. Our server was very friendly & knowledgeable but a bit distracted even though the restaurant wasn't busy at the time. If you like Bloody Mary's there's even a toppings bar. We would DEFINETLY come back again and bring friends too."
Dined on 12/1/2013
The Nola Oyster Bar is a very very
good restaurant with some outstanding foods. The decor includes a couple little fireplaces which are located all around the main dinning room. They have wooden floors with dark red cozy booths. You might come here with you family for a special occasion or just to hang out with the family. Something's to look out for is the smoothly textured artichoke dip with crunchier chips to dip in the dip. Also the shrimp fried rice with mushrooms. The portabello mushroom really fit in with dish and the shrimp and rice are perfectly cooked. The service is great. The waters check on you giving you free refills of your drink. If your looking for above family sit down restaurant then this is definitely the place for you."
Dined on 11/29/2013
An interesting take on a N'Orleans
restaurant in SoNo. All of my experiences here have been with seafood which is very good, however, on the way out, I saw someone eating a hamburger the size of a small child. I went over and asked him how it was and he said it was delicious. So, there is more then creative seafood at this place. A good night out."
Dined on 11/23/2013
Went here on a recent Sumday
evening for dinner with my family. The crab fondue small plate was a perfect starter, easy to share, and very tasty. The fried chicken sandwich was good but not amazing. The scallops were delicious and the best meal ordered was the shrimp and grits. Plenty of shrimp and cooked to perfection. It had just the right amount of heat to add the kick we wanted in the dish. I'd recommend this spot for anyone looking for southern style seafood!"
Dined on 11/17/2013
Food is good, service is fair.
Weird thing is, it's not for lack of employees…..I would go again, but with a few changes, this could be a great place."
Dined on 11/16/2013
We've now been to NOLA three
times. The first time was good, though the food tends to be a bit salty. The second was for drinks and the NOLA roasted oysters and brussel sprouts- both to die for. Seriously, the sprouts are like candy: sweet, savory, bacon-y goodness. This last time we started with NOLA's signature dish- lobster and waffles. I was apprehensive at first but it was the most amazing combination- so flavorful, so decadent. The drinks are always fantastic, too. Perfect for date nights and special occassions."
Dined on 11/16/2013
I had a wonderful experience from
beginning to end at NOLA Oyster Bar. Even though we had a reservation we were greeted and seated immediately upon walking in. My boyfriend and I were on a date, and we were sat at a great table, romantic enough but not too secluded. Our waiter greeted us at a perfect time and was very attentive. He gave us just enough time to eat and chat without hovering. Food, drinks and raw bar were all amazing, with a great southern flare. As a lover of the true New Orleans & French Quarter, NOLA brought a true New Orleans feel to this restaurant. I have and would continue to recommend this restaurant to friends and family. Great place!"
Dined on 11/15/2013
Sat 6PM Reservation made on the
Internet. Confirmation Great Seated promptly Great Food Delicious Great Level of Noise When we were seated it was fine. By 6:30 it was impossible to have a conversation. Outcome: Will definitely return but at off hours."
Dined on 11/9/2013
This place is very typical of what
is going on in So. Norwalk. Large investment in the facility and small investment in the menu. These guys serve polenta by the pound and fish by the ounce. $175 for two to eat seafood farina. I will not return."
Dined on 11/8/2013
Very tasty food. A bit weird
pairing of fish on the gumbo but everything we had was pretty yummy. The crawfish risotto was excellent but so filling we had to take home a lot of the main meal. A little on the pricey side. We will go back for sure."
Dined on 11/3/2013
We were pleasantly surprised with
our experience at NOLA. Great menu selections were very well executed."
Dined on 10/20/2013
This was our second visit to NOLA.
We returned since we had really liked the food and the wait staff had been terrific! This visit was a bit disappointing. The food was still terrific, but the bar was incredibly noisy (it was Friday night, so I could live with that) but the restaurant wasn't particularly busy and the wait staff was incredibly distracted and difficult to keep on track. Following an order for a dozen oysters to share being placed on the table, we couldn't get anyone's attention to bring us small plates and when we had finished the oysters, the dinner came out with the appetizers, rather the having the other appetizers come to the table first. Those kinds of glitches make me less inclined to recommend the restaurant."
Dined on 10/19/2013
Everything great but waited a
while for waitress in order to get our check."
Dined on 10/13/2013
Nothing I ate here would even
compare to food I've had down in NOLA. Not comparing to the finer dining experiences down there, just the street food. No flavor, no spices, nothing. I wouldn't go back."
Dined on 9/14/2013
Great food! Small portions, so you
can try a few things Tapas-style. Everything we had was outstanding. Mostly seafood options with a southern flare. I had a great experience and would highly recommend for something a little different from the norm."
Dined on 10/5/2013
The 4 of us enjoyed not only the
delicious food, friendly and attentive service but overall atmosphere despite the occasional train overhead. We appreciate receiving the cozy corner seating we requested via Open Table that was honored by Nola Oyster Bar. We'll be back!"
Dined on 9/8/2013
Great New Orleans cuisine.
Scallops with celery root sauce and fried catfish with jambalaya were delicious!"
Dined on 9/1/2013
The food was really good, but we
didn't care for the ambience in the back of the restaurant. We actually moved back to the bar and ate our dinner there."
Dined on 9/1/2013
What a wonderful find! A bit of
New Orleans in every dish- but subtle, so as to appeal to a wise variety of tastes. The service was attentive, without being overly so. The food was expertly cooked to perfection- the lobster would melt in your mouth. Lovely presentation but not too theatrical. The menu offers a wide price range of dishes- not often seen in a restaurant of this calibre. NOLA Oyster Bar is a fine dining and we plan to become regulars."
Dined on 8/24/2013
We were 3 for dinner my first time
at NOLA last week. We had a terrific server and what I would label upscale shore cuisine. I especially liked the small plate availability. My only hesitation with NOLA is the noise level. It is clearly geared to a younger crowd. I also liked the Open Table reservation system."
Dined on 8/24/2013
We were there on Monday, July 29th
and had the same salads and entrees that we had on our first visit the Monday before. Yes, they were THAT GOOD!!! Unfortunately, the quality of each dish was lacking on our second visit. My guess is that the chef was in on 7/22 due to a special group dining there that night and that, this week, he was taking a well-deserved Monday off. 'Tis important to maintain a high level of consistency with regard to food quality. We'll be back but are a bit wary about what to expect."
Dined on 7/30/2013
The food was very good. We had 2
gluten free foodies with us and the chef was very flexible and gave wonderful choices. The Paella was topped with a soft shell crab.....it had a bit of spice and was chock full of goodies, not just rice! The scallops with celery puree were cooked to perfection! The sauce tasted a bit creamy. Of course the raw bar was delicious! The salads were crisps with wonderful combinations! The Bronzini was terrific as well!"
Dined on 7/23/2013
Place had great beer taps, great
food and the waiter knew what he was talking about. Great Place."
Dined on 7/20/2013
Really enjoyed the way the food
was prepared different at NOLA. Just creative and southern enough to appreciate hate without throwing your palate. Good variety of options on the menu, though I ended up with the burger, which was outstanding with it's variety of toppings and excellent preparation."
Dined on 7/20/2013
terrific spot with outstanding
service. the staff is terrific. great food and signature cocktails."
Dined on 7/14/2013
We went to Nola for a special
occasion. The food was Very Good - some dishes were quite unique. Presentation was well put together. Our waiter was efficient. My only complaint is that I found it to be VERY PRICEY and as for the portions The "not so small plates" were indeed small and the pricing did not reflect such a small portion. The Seafood Tower was very fresh, but again, the price was ridiculously inflated. The "Entrée" portions very also on the small size and priced a little to high for our taste. The wine list seemed reasonable, but we ordered some cocktails and were surprised at the price. I would recommend this restaurant but I would make sure they know in advance price is way out of line."
Dined on 7/2/2013
We enjoyed our meal at Nola's. It
was an early dinner and the place was pretty quiet to start with. Our waitress, Sara, was wonderful and funny - very attentive. Just a few items to mention - the food was overall lacking salt - other than that, the food was great - very tasty. The grits were wonderful! I'm a grit-girl and these were among the best I've had in awhile (outside New Orleans). We found it odd that no bread was served during the meal. Our meal could've have used some cornbred on the side (gumbo and lobster w/waffles). Other than that, a wonderful dining experience."
Dined on 7/7/2013
Came with 3 great friends for some
great food and we were not disappointed! Delicious specialty drinks and a well-thought, creative, and yummy menu! The oysters tasted like they were fresh from the ocean and the classic New Orleans twist on the food was amazing. Will be back!"
Dined on 7/5/2013
My husband and I had been waiting
to see what would take up residence in this prominent space in Norwalk and were excited to try NOLA. It was not that great an experience. The food is decent but not life-changing by any means. Many of the dishes are served as small plates which the server assured us were very generous portions and, no, they are just small plates. That would be fine if there were a large enough variety, but the limited selections mean one could not really make a meal of just small plates. The other problem we had was that the space is just too loud. It may be a good stop for a drink and a snack after work, but not for an enjoyable dinner."
Dined on 6/28/2013
Oysters were fantastic as were the
other dishes that we tried, particularly the mussels. Enjoyed the whole experience and would return."
Dined on 6/26/2013
We went for a birthday
celebration. The food was very good. We would definitely go back to see what else the chef is creating. The service was below average and slow. Even though the restaurant was only 50% full our waiter could not manage simple tasks. We had to get up and find him to get the check. He seemed more interested in talking to other waiters and the bar tender than getting our food. (Also we booked through Open table and added a note that this was a birthday celebration and no one made mention of that: from the people who check us in to the waiter, etc. First time this has happened with an Open table reservation)"
Dined on 6/24/2013
My Fathers Day choice was NOLA as
I noticed they offered Cobb Island oysters and shrimp with their heads on. We had never been here before and were very pleased. The menu is short , the food superb. I could go on and on but, I suggest you go and taste the Creole cooking. SHHHHHH!"

Now, we're not quite done in Alaska. Recently, people in the small western town of Bethel got very excited when they saw flyers announcing the opening of a Taco Bell. That's a big deal. Right now, residents have to trek 400 miles if they want to chomp on a cheesy gordita.
UNIDENTIFIED SINGERS: (Singing) Taco salad, taco salad, taco salad...
GREENE: But then breaking news...
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Sorry, folks. In Bethel, you won't be able to munch on cheesy gordita crunches or grande nachos anytime soon.
GREENE: That's our member station KYUK.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Bethel is not getting a Taco Bell. I repeat, Bethel is not getting a Taco Bell.
GREENE: It turns out those flyers were a hoax. But the people of Bethel will not be going taco-less. The fast food chain heard about the disappointment and they're throwing a taco feast for the town today. That includes 950 pounds of seasoned beef and 150 pounds of cheddar cheese.
UNIDENTIFIED SINGERS: (Singing) Taco salad, taco salad, beef...
GREENE: And just in case that sounds like a lot of fat, don't worry. They also sent 500 pounds of reduced-fat sour cream.
UNIDENTIFIED SINGERS: (Singing) Guacamole...

Twins Fest – Day 1
I think for these Twins Fest
blogs, they will be written in an almost diary or journal form. I absolutely
enjoy Twins Fest
and it is always fun. I enjoy seeing players up close, listening to interviews,
shaking hands and saying congratulations to minor leaguers and just being in
the presence of thousands of Twins fans. As I have said before, if you are
able to attend, even just for a few hours, it is worth it.
Tonight, I went with my whole
family. My dad and 3 ½ year old daughter went in as the gates opened. The lines
were huge and very unorganized. And it was cold outside! But eventually we got inside.
My mom, brother and sister showed up a little later. But here is a quick
run-down of the night.
The first place
we went was to the Photo area where Jozie and I got our picture taken with Jeff Manship and talked for a minute.
From there, we
went to Corner #7, which is the free line comprised of minor league players.
The first was Eden Prairie native and former Gopher Cole Devries. Next in line was Canadian top outfield prospect Rene Tosoni. Then came Team USA hero
and Twins shortstop prospect Trevor
Plouffe. Next was Twins infield prospect Toby Gardenhire. Finally, Twins minor
league pitcher of the year, David
Bromberg signed a ball. My daughter went through the line with a baseball
and asked each for their autograph. When she got to Plouffe, he said to her, "OK,
I'll sign your baseball if you write your name for me." He gave her a pen and
she "wrote her name" on the table in front of him. It was pretty cool. Bromberg
said that the Diamond Awards went well last night, and that he was given his
award first, so a little extra pressure.
Then we saw that Aaron Hicks and Kyle Gibson were available for photos in the Photo area. Obviously
Gibson has been on my podcasts five times, but it was very nice to finally get
a chance to meet him in person. I had not met Hicks before, but he also appears
to be a genuinely good guy.
At that point, it
was time to let my daughter get her picture taken with the one that she was
most excited to get her picture taken with, TC Bear. While she played in the
kids section, my dad, brother and I went to the KSTP radio area and listened to
their interviews with Jim Thome and Joe Mauer. Both were excellent. Mauer
wasn't asked about the contract situation until the final question and he gave
the same answer you would expect to hear. He basically said nothing.
We grabbed
something to eat. Interestingly, hot dogs were $3.50. 2 hot dogs were $3.50.
So, when I went up and ordered four hot dogs (no, not just for me!), I had to
specify that I wanted two two-for-one hot dogs, and not four single hot dogs.
We had a picture
of us taken at the Target Field display area with a nice background.
Then I stood in line for the third group of the minor
league autograph section. The line was incredibly long. I must have been in
line for 50 minutes, which is crazy! The lineup for this group was pretty
impressive. First was Carlos Gutierrez,
who was excellent on my podcast on Tuesday night and is one of the Twins better
pitching prospects, a sure-fire future big leaguer. Then came Drew Butera was next. Both were very
nice. Next was Chris Parmelee who
took a big step forward with a very strong 2009 campaign in Ft Myers and more
than held his own in the Arizona Fall League. Next up was Iowa native and
another strong pitching prospect, BJ
Hermsen. Last in line was Kyle
Gibson, and he was the one that most that I overheard in line were excited
to get to sign something.
At that point, it was time to
head out for the evening. When you have a three-and-a-half year old, and it's
8:30 and it's been a long day, 8:30 is plenty late! I posted a couple of
pictures on here, but if you would like to see more, you can see them on my Facebook
Although I haven't figured
out how to Tweet from my phone, you can also follow me in Twitter @sethtweets.
I will be back on Saturday
night with more thoughts, from Day 2, of Twins Fest.

Twins Fest is
upon us!
I'm about to drive in to the
Metrodome for Twins Fest. Really looking forward to being there all weekend. I
always enjoy the environment and excitement of Twins Fest. As you know, Harmon Killebrew will not be there. I
got a note from Danny Valencia last
night telling me that he will not be at Twins Fest because he is playing in the
Caribbean World Series. Yes, I had heard about Nick Punto's need for wrist surgery, but I'm glad to hear that it
won't take too long to recover and he should be ready for camp. Anyway, I'll be
at Twins Fest tonight with my whole family. Looking forward to it. If you see a
short, non-skinny guy with little hair (and a red SethSpeaks.net hat) and his
daughter, please feel free to say hi.

Drug Safety: Colby has the best of both worlds. If you want to go crazy and party then go for it, if you want to sit a night out, or if you never want to party at all, nobody cares. There is virtually no peer pressure to drink. As for underage drinking on campus, the campus PD doesn't check your ID unless you are blatantly (dangerously) drunk in public. Technically there is a hard liquor ban on campus, but you wouldn't know it.
Drug Safety: Drugs on campus are there. I have definitively caught the scent of weed, but I have yet to see it. I have never seen people high on campus. It depends where you are and who you hang out with. Drinking is more obvious, but you can easily decide to engage in non-alcohol activities during week-ends and parties. There is a hospital right next to campus so people who do end up blacking out during parties are quickly sent there. Overall, if you don't want alcohol to be a part of you college experience, it is very possible to make it so.
Drug Safety: I have never encountered "hard drugs" in two years here. I know that they are done places on campus, but it is out of site. People do weed as the smell is evident occasionally, but it is not prominent. People drink on weekends and that is more visible than the drugs. Being someone who is extremely uncomfortable around drugs, I have not ever had a problem or felt uncomfortable here
Drug Safety: There is absolutely no peer pressure to drink or do drugs at Colby. I have friends who do both, some who do one or the other, and some who do neither. There is no pressure and everyone can have fun without any substance abuse.
Drug Safety: By far the most common drug is alcohol. Colby does have a hard alcohol ban in which students are not allowed to have any form of hard alcohol on campus. If caught, they are often sent to a class on alcohol abuse, but if they are found more then a few times, there is a possibility of suspension.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Danny Garin
You won't come to Colby and find illicit drugs, at least out in the open. Hard drug use does exist, but it is very, very limited and few and far between. Probably 95 percent of students will never know about or see hard drugs during their time at Colby. Those who want these drugs must look hard to find them because they are practically nonexistent.
However, too much time listening to Phish may have led some Colby students to smoke marijuana, and intense academics can push some people to seek illegal study drugs. Asking around on weekends makes it easy to find pot, whereas study drugs may be harder to find. However, neither of these ever seems like a real threat. And, this is a college, so alcohol use does exist. Many students drink, but many choose not to, and there is no pressure by any means to consume. It is very easy to go through four years here without having one sip of beer and not smoking one joint, but it's also pretty easy to live the opposite lifestyle.

- Hardware-based wire-speed access control lists (ACLs): help provide high levels of security and ease of administration without impacting network performance with a feature-rich TCAM-based ACL implementation
- High-performance processor system: the supervisory module uses three different processors to isolate key tasks: control plane (STP, OSPF, BGP, MPLS, etc.), fast recovery protocols (RRPP, BFD, etc.), and chassis management (temperature, power, etc.)
Quality of Service (QoS)
- Virtual Output Queue (VOQ): prevents head-of-line (HOL) blocking per port at peak time and distributes it over a period of time, increasing switch performance
- IEEE 802.1p prioritization: delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic
- Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
- Broadcast control: allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traffic
- Advanced classifier-based QoS: classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis

Reading a packet capture file with Wireshark and tshark
Needle in Haystack
Wireshark doesn't just work in real time. If you save a history of network activity in a pcap file using a tool such as tcpdump, you can filter the data with Wireshark to search for evidence.
Intrusion detection tools that use the libpcap C/ C++ library for network traffic capture (such as Snort and Tcpdump) can output packet capture information to a file for later reference. The format of this capture file is known as pcap. By capturing packet data to a file, an investigator can return later to study the history of an intrusion attempt – or to turn up other important clues about clandestine activity on the network.
Of course, the traffic history data stored in a pcap file is much too vast to study by just viewing the file manually. Security experts use specialized filtering tools to search through the file for pertinent information. One way to look for clues in a pcap file is to use the Wireshark protocol analysis tool [3] and its accompanying command-line utility tshark.

NRF: Consumers will be prudent with refunds
By Staff -- Home & Textiles Today, 3/16/2004 12:00:00 AM
WASHINGTON — Nearly two-thirds of American families expect to find themselves with a little extra money from their tax returns, and nearly half (49.2 percent) plan to pay down debt with the dough, according the a new study by the National Retail Federation.
Another 37.4 percent will tuck away their refunds into savings, according to the NRF 2004 Tax Returns Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, conducted by BIGresearch for NRF. However, 27.0 percent plan to use the money for everyday expenses, while 11.6 percent will apply the refund toward a major purchase. Refunds will be used to take a vacation by 12.2 percent of survey respondents.
BIGresearch conducted its poll of 7,224 consumers from February 4-11. The consumer poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 1.0 percent, according to the NRF.
Although April 15 is the deadline to file taxes, 65.1 percent of consumers filed in January or February while another 20.9 percent will file in March, NRF reported. Only 14.0 percent of consumers plan to wait until April to file their taxes.
The Internal Revenue Service has announced that the average tax return as of March 5 was $2,182, up 4.4 percent from $2,089 last year at that time.

She had totally re-invented herself. She gave us every ounce of herself. So purely, so honestly. Irresistible."

Not only are birds enjoyable to watch, but they also keep the population of harmful insects in check. To attract more birds to your garden, try these tips:
• Don't remove nesting materials. Instead of bagging up messy gardening materials such as straw, twigs, and moss, leave some for the birds. • Help birds find shelter. Humans may dislike bushes with thorns, but birds love them—they provide a refuge from predators such as neighborhood cats. Prune hedges either before or after the nesting season to avoid disturbing nests. • Provide water and food. Ponds and birdbaths give birds a place to drink and clean themselves, while plants with edible seeds and berries provide food throughout the season.

One of the most curious and disturbing trends in American health is preterm births, which are on the rise in the United States -- up 36 percent since 1984, according to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics.
Preterm births, defined as births occurring before the 37th week of pregnancy, are risky for mothers and newborns alike. "For the moms, there are risks in the treatments used to try to halt labor and risks of infection," says Duke obstetrician Amy Murtha, MD, a specialist in high-risk pregnancies.
For the baby, there are a whole host of concerns that range from the immediate to the lifelong: lung and breathing disorders, problems with vision, and even cerebral palsy are much more common in these babies than in those who go full term.
"And even when the babies turn out OK," says Murtha, "the costs and stress to families from weeks spent in the NICU can be huge."
The most common immediate cause for preterm birth is early onset of labor, and the majority of those cases are the result of medical interventions -- situations where the health care provider must treat dangerous conditions in the mother or the baby, and that treatment triggers early labor.
In these situations, says Murtha, there's sometimes more serious risk to the mother or the baby without intervention than the risks of early delivery itself.
But about 40 percent of cases of early labor are spontaneous, and determining why such preterm labor occurs is a complex puzzle.
"Several different factors may be in play, even in one patient," says Murtha. "We're working really hard in the lab to understand the whys behind preterm birth. There's a lot related to inflammatory response -- you've had an infection, you smoke, you've had bleeding -- and the consequences of that inflammation," which scientists believe may harm the tissues in the womb that nourish and protect the fetus.
Researchers are also finding some cases of bacterial infection that has been missed in routine testing during pregnancy. "These bacteria may turn out to be very important, perhaps ultimately something we screen for and treat."
To help more moms carry their babies to full term, prevention is the key. For the most part, that means moms-to-be doing everything they can to stay healthy before and during their pregnancy.
"Smoking and weight play a role in preterm birth, so there are things mothers can do," notes Murtha.
But the biggest risk factor of all is prior preterm birth. "The risk of preterm birth is double among these women, and it goes up with each preterm birth that follows."
For women who have had prior preterm births, a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone called 17P, which is given as a weekly shot starting at 18 weeks, has shown a 35 percent reduction in preterm births.
In 2006, the North Carolina General Assembly funded the 17P Project to educate health care providers and consumers about 17P and provide it free to low-income women.
But Murtha, who serves on the 17P Project's advisory council, says she balances her counseling to patients about 17P because the long-term consequences of using this drug are not known. In the lab, she and her colleagues are taking a careful look at how the progesterone may play a role in protecting the tissues that surround and nurture a growing fetus.
"It probably protects the cells in these tissues from cell death," she says, adding, "We don't have a lot else to offer these women beyond close monitoring, so this treatment option is significant."
Some babies seem determined to come early despite all efforts to keep them in the womb to term. When preterm birth is inevitable, the focus shifts from prevention to maximizing the baby's readiness for the world.
"We'll give steroid injections to promote lung maturity and prevent those respiratory complications," Murtha says. The steroids are intended to help prevent or minimize other common complications in premature babies, such as bleeding in the brain or intestinal complications.
"We have an incredible obstetrical team here at Duke," says Ronald Goldberg, MD, who directs the Neonatal ICU. "We do well in large part because the obstetricians give us babies in better shape. What happens up to delivery makes all the difference in terms of the outcome."
Post-delivery, Goldberg and the rest of the Duke Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) staff use a variety of tactics to protect fragile preemies and help them thrive. The Duke team is part of the neonatal Research network, which reviews and develops evidence-based, "best practice" standards for the many issues that face premature babies, including:
Better breathing: By adopting a more consistent, standardized approach to getting infants off the respirator quickly, Duke significantly decreased the incidence of chronic lung disease in babies born with respiratory problems. An ongoing study is also showing positive prospects for less-invasive options for keeping the airways open and promoting healthy breathing patterns.
A technique called high-frequency ventilation, which tends to be gentler to the lungs, has also come into practice, thanks in part to safety protocols defined by Duke researchers.
Protecting tender skin: The skin of premature infants is so fragile that attaching monitors could tear it, leading to infections. Duke neonatal nurses developed a skin care team that has succeeded in largely eliminating these skin problems.
Dampening sound: Current studies pointing to the damaging effects of noise on the development of preterm infants are making noise reduction a priority in the NICU.
Involving parents: "We're now allowing the parents to participate in the medical team's rounds," says Goldberg. "They can listen, ask questions, and get instant feedback."

Acadians descend from the original French settlers in the area that is now Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Acadia was founded four years before the founding of Quebec, and Acadians generally come from different parts of France than do Quebecers. In the expulsion of 1755, Acadians were uprooted by the British. Many resettled in Louisiana, where they became known as Cajuns.

Apple Stores to Match Discounts on iPhones
By Ian Sherr
The company has begun telling retail employees that they may offer discounts of $49 on the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 4 to customers who cite lower prices from other outlets, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The outlets include stores operated by Target Corp., Best Buy Co. and Sprint Nextel Corp., according to Apple's communications with employees.
The company didn't tell employees why it is offering these discounts, these people said, and has not advertised the reduced price. Apple's move was first reported by the MacRumors blog.
The Cupertino, Calif., company doesn't usually offer price matching for its devices and, aside from education and corporate discounts, it rarely offers steep price cuts unless a product has been replaced with a new version.
An exception was the company's annual back-to-school sale, during which Apple would offer as much as a $199 rebate if students purchased an iPod music player along with a qualifying computer around the summer months. Apple stopped offering that discount last year, choosing to offer an education-themed $100 gift card to its digital iTunes music and app stores alongside its computers instead.
The discounts come as Apple is widely believed to be readying a new version of its iPhone, which is expected to sport a thinner yet longer screen, measuring at least 4 inches diagonally, among other things.
Apple last month announced sales and profits that missed analyst expectations, largely on disappointing sales of the iPhone, its largest source of revenue. At the time, industry-watchers said consumers were likely holding out for a new iPhone model anticipated this fall, much like they had last year. The iPhone 4S, Apple's latest model, was released last October.
"Our weekly iPhone sales continue to be impacted by rumors and speculation regarding new products," Peter Oppenheimer, the company's chief financial officer, said on a conference call with analysts to discuss its earnings in July.
The miss was only the second time in 39 quarters that the company reported results below expectations.

Lately the forums have been on fire and leading up to another iPhone release it is bound to be one wild ride. So now is a perfect time to get yourself registered and join in on the conversation.
Just yesterday Rene started a interesting thread, Are You Running Your iPhone 3G on EDGE and Why? While I understand why some of you may choose to EDGE over 3G, for me, I like to live dangerously, 3G or go home. How about you? Stop by and let Rene know what you think.

For the last few months I've been conducting an experiment, trying to figure out whether it better suited my needs to sync my iPhone 3G to my desktop computer, to my laptop, or to embrace the (potential) future and try to sync only over-the-air with the cloud (online services and storage).
First, a little about the contenders.
A month with each of them (Round Robin interuptus notwithstanding) and what were my results? Which have I stuck with (for now)? Read on to find out!
Good news, Windows PC users: Apple's MobileMe News blog has just announced that they've finally put some shove into their Windows-side push:
The forum community here at TiPb keeps growing in numbers every day! With more and more great threads getting posted it's been hard to try and keep up. Today on the forums, we have a few more good ones that you should definitely check out!
First thread up was started by Dizzy, Google Sync (Beta). For more information about Google Sync for iPhone be sure to check out Dieter's post from the other day. I'm sure a lot of Gmail users are happy campers at this point.
Here's a welcome surprise for you: Google has now created Google Sync for iPhone so that you can sync up your Google Contacts and Google Calendar. They are doing it by making their data look like an Exchange server -- meaning that if you're not already using Exchange on your iPhone for work, you can point it at Google's servers (see full instructions here) to get your contacts and calendars pushed out to you. Nice? Nice.
Been looking for a way to sync todo's with iCal? Well now you can with the recent beta from Appigo. Appigo Sync is their new tool to sync your Todo tasks with iCal via Wi-Fi on your local wireless network. The tool syncs calendars, but not your contexts, tags, etc. So you can't add them in iCal, but they are still viewable on the iPhone app.
Google has dropped the iCal bomb. That's right. Buh-bye third party intermediaries, hello built-in Google Calendar support for Apple's open source CalDAV standard:
I'm so boring. I don't use Entourage, Lotus Notes, or Meeting Maker. However, for those of you Mac users who do, and are looking for some help syncing things over to your iPhone, PocketMac may be worth a look. As a bonus, it will also sync your SMS messages and call logs.
If you give it a try, let us know what you think!
It's that time of the week where we bring some of the discussions from the forums to the main page.
Big reminder to everyone, the voting for the latest TiPb AT WORK Contest ends tomorrow! This weeks contest, to do/task apps! Time is short so go get your vote on now!
When Gizmodo honcho Brian Lam found out via Twitter that one of his readers was experiencing a brutal 8-hour iPhone sync, he did what any EiC worth his postings would do: secured time-lapse video! To put 8 painful hours fully into perspective:

Junk Copter Is Scary, Destined For Junkyard
A Nigerian physics undergraduate named Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi has built a helicopter out of junk. The 24-year-old bankrolled the project with the money he earned fixing PCs and cell phones. The copter consists of car and motorcycle parts, along with some off a crashed 747. It took 8 months to put together, and has "flown briefly on six occasions" but "never attained an altitude of more than seven feet." Now as much faith as I have in Mubarak, I'd be hard pressed to sit in this thing even if I knew we weren't going higher than seven feet. As a rule I don't ride in vehicles made of junk. Especially ones that are supposed to fly. They're just too safe. I like to live dangerously.
