Calvinists and Catholics during Holland's Golden Age
by Christine KooiThis book examines the social, political, and religious relationships between Calvinists and Catholics during Holland's Golden Age. Although Holland, the largest province of the Dutch Republic, was officially Calvinist, its population was one of the most religiously heterogeneous in early modern Europe. The Catholic Church was officially disestablished in the 1570s, yet by the 1620s Catholicism underwent a revival, flourishing in a semi-clandestine private sphere. The book focuses on how Reformed Protestants dealt with this revived Catholicism, arguing that confessional coexistence between Calvinists and Catholics operated within a number of contiguous and overlapping social, political, and cultural spaces. The result was a paradox: a society that was at once Calvinist and pluralist. Christine Kooi maps the daily interactions between people of different faiths and examines how religious boundaries were negotiated during an era of tumultuous religious change.
When States Go Broke
by David Skeel Peter Conti-BrownWhen States Go Broke collects insights and analysis from leading academics and practitioners that discuss the ongoing fiscal crisis among the American states. No one disagrees with the idea that the states face enormous political and fiscal challenges. There is, however, little consensus on how to fix the perennial problems associated with these challenges. This volume fills an important gap in the dialogue by offering an academic analysis of the many issues broached by these debates. Leading scholars in bankruptcy, constitutional law, labor law, history, political science and economics have individually contributed their assessments of the origins, context and potential solutions for the states in crisis. It presents readers - academics, policy makers and concerned citizens alike - with the resources to begin and continue that important, solution-oriented conversation.
Smugglers and Saints of the Sahara
by Judith ScheeleSmugglers and Saints of the Sahara describes life on and around the contemporary border between Algeria and Mali, exploring current developments in a broad historical and socioeconomic context. Basing her findings on long-term fieldwork with trading families, truckers, smugglers and scholars, Judith Scheele investigates the history of contemporary patterns of mobility from the late nineteenth century to the present. Through a careful analysis of family ties and local economic records, this book shows how long-standing mobility and interdependence have shaped not only local economies, but also notions of social hierarchy, morality and political legitimacy, creating patterns that endure today and that need to be taken into account in any empirically-grounded study of the region.
The Reflexive Imperative in Late Modernity
by Margaret S. ArcherThis book completes Margaret Archer's trilogy investigating the role of reflexivity in mediating between structure and agency. What do young people want from life? Using analysis of family experiences and life histories, her argument respects the properties and powers of both structures and agents and presents the 'internal conversation' as the site of their interplay. In unpacking what 'social conditioning' means, Archer demonstrates the usefulness of 'relational realism'. She advances a new theory of relational socialisation, appropriate to the 'mixed messages' conveyed in families that are rarely normatively consensual and thus cannot provide clear guidelines for action. Life-histories are analysed to explain the making and breaking of the various modes of reflexivity. Different modalities have been dominant from early societies to the present and the author argues that modernity is slowly ceding place to a 'morphogenetic society' as meta-reflexivity now begins to predominate, at least amongst educated young people.
Direct Action, Deliberation, and Diffusion
by Lesley J. WoodWhat are the micro-level interactions and conversations that underlie successful and failed diffusion? By comparing the spread of direct action tactics from the 1999 Global Justice Movement protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle to grassroots activists in Toronto and New York, Lesley Wood argues that dynamics of deliberation among local activists both aided and blocked diffusion. To analyze the localization of this cycle of protest, the research brings together rich ethnography, interviews, social network analysis, and catalogs of protest events. The findings suggest that when diverse activists with different perspectives can discuss innovations in a reflexive, egalitarian manner, they are more likely to make strategic and meaningful choices.
The Construction of the Heavens
by Michael HoskinThe astronomical observations of William Herschel (1738-1822) made him question the accepted model of the clockwork universe. This volume explains the development of Herschel's thoughts on what he called 'the construction of the heavens' and reprints his principal papers on this subject. The preliminary chapters provide an introduction to Herschel, including his unusual path to astronomy, the discovery of Uranus and his work on the evolution of stellar clusters, which eventually led him to challenge the unchanging Newtonian universe. The second half of the text comprises eight of Herschel's key papers on what we today would call cosmology, representing his progress between 1783 and 1814, fully annotated with historical notes and modern astrophysical explanations. Ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the history of science and in astronomy, this volume explains Herschel's pivotal role in the transformation from the clockwork universe to the 'biological' universe of modern astronomy.
Jefferson's Freeholders and the Politics of Ownership in the Old Dominion
by Christopher Michael CurtisJefferson's Freeholders and the Politics of Ownership in the Old Dominion explores the historical processes by which Virginia was transformed from a British colony into a Southern slave state. It focuses on changing conceptualizations of ownership and emphasizes the persistent influence of the English common law on Virginia's postcolonial political culture. The book explains how the traditional characteristics of land tenure became subverted by the dynamic contractual relations of a commercial economy and assesses the political consequences of the law reforms that were necessitated by these developments. Nineteenth-century reforms seeking to reconcile the common law with modern commercial practices embraced new democratic expressions about the economic and political power of labor, and thereby encouraged the idea that slavery was an essential element in sustaining republican government in Virginia. By the 1850s, the ownership of human property had replaced the ownership of land as the distinguishing basis for political power, with tragic consequences for the Old Dominion.
Structural Dynamics and Economic Growth
by Richard Arena Pier Luigi PortaEver since Adam Smith, economists have been preoccupied with the puzzle of economic growth. The standard mainstream models of economic growth were and often still are based either on assumptions of diminishing returns on capital with technological innovation or on endogenous dynamics combined with a corresponding technological and institutional setting. An alternative model of economic growth emerged from the Cambridge School of Keynesian economists in the 1950s and 1960s. This model - developed mainly by Luigi Pasinetti - emphasizes the importance of demand, human learning and the growth dynamics of industrial systems. Finally, in the past decade, new mainstream models have emerged incorporating technology or demand-based structural change and extending the notion of balanced growth. This collection of essays reassesses Pasinetti's theory of structural dynamics in the context of these recent developments, with contributions from economists writing in both the mainstream and the Cambridge Keynesian traditions and including Luigi Pasinetti, William Baumol, Geoffrey Harcourt and Nobel laureate Robert Solow.
Subaltern Lives
by Clare AndersonSubaltern Lives uses biographical fragments of the lives of convicts, captives, sailors, slaves, indentured labourers and indigenous peoples to build a fascinating new picture of colonial life in the nineteenth-century Indian Ocean. Moving between India, Africa, Mauritius, Burma, Singapore, Ceylon, the Andaman Islands and the Australian colonies, Clare Anderson offers fresh readings of the nature and significance of 'networked' Empire. She reveals the importance of penal transportation for colonial expansion and sheds new light on convict experiences of penal settlements and colonies, as well as the relationship between convictism, punishment and colonial labour regimes. The book also explores the nature of colonial society during this period and embeds subaltern biographies into key events like the abolition of slavery, the Anglo-Sikh Wars and the Indian Revolt of 1857. This is an important new perspective on British colonialism which also opens up new possibilities for the writing of history itself.
International Drug Control
by David R. Bewley-TaylorThere remains substantial agreement among the international community on many aspects of the contemporary UN drug control regime. However, diverging views on the non-medical and non-scientific use of a range of controlled substances make drug policy an increasingly contested and transitionary field of multinational cooperation. Employing a fine-grained and interdisciplinary approach, this book provides the first integrated analysis of the sources, manifestations and sometimes paradoxical implications of this divergence. The author develops an original explanatory framework through which to understand better the dynamic and tense intersection between policy shifts at varying levels of governance and the regime's core prohibitive norm. Highlighting the centrality of the harm reduction approach and tolerant cannabis policies to an ongoing process of regime transformation, this book examines the efforts of those actors seeking to defend the existing international control framework and explores rationales and scenarios which may lead to the international community moving beyond it.
A History of Tasmania
by Henry ReynoldsThis captivating work charts the history of Tasmania from the arrival of European maritime expeditions in the late eighteenth century, through to the modern day. By presenting the perspectives of both Indigenous Tasmanians and British settlers, author Henry Reynolds provides an original and engaging exploration of these first fraught encounters. Utilising key themes to bind his narrative, Reynolds explores how geography created a unique economic and migratory history for Tasmania, quite separate from the mainland experience. He offers an astute analysis of the island's economic and demographic reality, by noting that this facilitated the survival of a rich heritage of colonial architecture unique in Australia, and allowed the resident population to foster a powerful web of kinship. Reynolds' remarkable capacity to empathise with the characters of his chronicle makes this a powerful, engaging and moving account of Tasmania's unique position within Australian history.
The Ballets Russes and beyond
by Davinia Caddy"Belle-époque Paris witnessed the emergence of a vibrant and diverse dance scene, one that crystallized around the Ballets Russes, the Russian dance company formed by impresario Sergey Diaghilev. The company has long served as a convenient turning point in the history of dance, celebrated for its revolutionary choreography and innovative productions. This book presents a fresh slant on this much-told history. Focusing on the relation between music and dance, Davinia Caddy approaches the Ballets Russes with a wide-angled lens that embraces not just the choreographic, but also the cultural, political, theatrical and aesthetic contexts in which the company made its name. In addition, Caddy examines and interprets contemporary French dance practices, throwing new light on some of the most important debates and discourses of the day"--
Reforming Justice
by Livingston Armytage'Reforming Justice' calls for justice to be repositioned more centrally in evolving notions of equitable development. Justice is fundamental to human well being and essential to development. Over the past fifty years, however, overseas development assistance - foreign aid - has grappled with the challenge of improving 'the rule of law' with underwhelming and often dismal results around the world. Development agencies have supported legal and judicial reforms in order to improve economic growth and good governance, but are yet to address mounting concerns about equity and distribution. Building on new evidence from Asia, Livingston Armytage argues that it is now time to realign the approach to promote justice as fairness and equity.
Corporate Social Responsibility of Multinational Corporations in Developing Countries
by Adefolake O. Adeyeye"The increasing importance of CSR means that companies must consider multi-stakeholder interests as well as the social, political, economic, environmental and developmental impact of their actions. However, the pursuit of profits by multinational corporations has led to a series of questionable corporate actions and the consequences of such practices are particularly evident in developing countries. Adefolake Adeyeye explores how CSR has evolved to aid the anti-corruption campaign. By examining voluntary rules applicable for curbing corruption, particularly bribery and analysing the domestic and extra-territorial laws of Nigeria, United Kingdom and the United States for holding corporations liable for bribery, she assesses the adequacy of international law's approach towards corporate liability for bribery and explores direct corporate responsibility for international corruption. The roles of corporate governance, global governance and civil liability in curbing corporate corrupt practices are given special focus"--"The increasing importance of CSR means that companies must consider multi-stakeholder interests as well as the social, political, economic, environmental and developmental impact of their actions.

The Rise of Fiscal States
by Bartolomé Yun-Casalilla Patrick K. O'Brien Franciso Comín ComínFrom the Netherlands to the Ottoman Empire, to Japan and India, this groundbreaking volume confronts the complex and diverse problem of the formation of fiscal states in Eurasia between 1500 and 1914. This series of country case studies from leading economic historians reveals that distinctive features of the fiscal state appeared across the region at different moments in time as a result of multiple independent but often interacting stimuli such as internal competition over resources, European expansion, international trade, globalisation and war. The essays offer a comparative framework for re-examining the causes of economic development across this period and show, for instance, the central role that the more effective fiscal systems of Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries played in the divergence of east and west as well as the very different paths to modernisation taken across the world.
Governance, Regulations and Powers on the Internet
by Eric Brousseau Meryem Marzouki Cécile Méadel"Digital technologies have prompted the emergence of new modes of regulation and governance, since they allow for more decentralized processes of elaboration and implementation of norms. Moreover, the Internet has been raising a wide set of governance issues since it affects many domains, such as individual rights, public liberties, property rights, economic competition, market regulation, conflict management, security and the sovereignty of states. There is therefore a need to understand how technical, political, economic and social norms are articulated, as well as to understand who the main actors of this process of transformation are, how they interact and how these changes may influence international rulings. This book brings together an international team of scholars to explain and analyse how collective regulations evolve in the broader context of the development of post-modern societies, globalization, the reshaping of international relations and the profound transformations of nation-states"--
The Clash of Economic Ideas
by Lawrence H. WhiteThe Clash of Economic Ideas interweaves the economic history of the last hundred years with the history of economic doctrines to understand how contrasting economic ideas have originated and developed over time to take their present forms. It traces the connections running from historical events to debates among economists, and from the ideas of academic writers to major experiments in economic policy. The treatment offers fresh perspectives on laissez faire, socialism and fascism; the Roaring Twenties, business cycle theories and the Great Depression; Institutionalism and the New Deal; the Keynesian Revolution; and war, nationalization and central planning. After 1945, the work explores the postwar revival of invisible-hand ideas; economic development and growth, with special attention to contrasting policies and thought in Germany and India; the gold standard, the interwar gold-exchange standard, the postwar Bretton Woods system and the Great Inflation; public goods and public choice; free trade versus protectionism; and finally fiscal policy and public debt.
Implicit Racial Bias across the Law
by Justin D. Levinson Robert J. SmithDespite cultural progress in reducing overt acts of racism, stark racial disparities continue to define American life. This book is for anyone who wonders why race still matters and is interested in what emerging social science can contribute to the discussion. The book explores how scientific evidence on the human mind might help to explain why racial equality is so elusive. This new evidence reveals how human mental machinery can be skewed by lurking stereotypes, often bending to accommodate hidden biases reinforced by years of social learning. Through the lens of these powerful and pervasive implicit racial attitudes and stereotypes, Implicit Bias across the Law examines both the continued subordination of historically disadvantaged groups and the legal system's complicity in the subordination.
Intellectual Culture in Medieval Paris
by Ian P. WeiIn the thirteenth century, the University of Paris emerged as a complex community with a distinctive role in society. This book explores the relationship between contexts of learning and the ways of knowing developed within them, focusing on twelfth-century schools and monasteries, as well as the university. By investigating their views on money, marriage and sex, Ian Wei reveals the complexity of what theologians had to say about the world around them. He analyses the theologians' sense of responsibility to the rest of society and the means by which they tried to communicate and assert their authority. In the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, however, their claims to authority were challenged by learned and intellectually sophisticated women and men who were active outside as well as inside the university and who used the vernacular - an important phenomenon in the development of the intellectual culture of medieval Europe.

Techniques in Epilepsy Surgery
by Taner Tanriverdi André Olivier Warren W. BolingTechniques in Epilepsy Surgery presents the operative procedures used in the treatment of intractable epilepsy in a practical, clinically relevant manner. Founded by pioneering neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield, the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) is a leading global centre of epilepsy surgery and this volume reflects the Institute's approach, combining traditional techniques with modern neuronavigation-based approaches. There is an emphasis on mastering the important trilogy of topographic, vascular and functional anatomy of the brain. The basic anatomical and physiological mechanisms underlying epilepsy are presented in a practical manner, along with the clinical seizure evaluation that leads to a surgical hypothesis. The consultation skills and investigations necessary for appropriate patient selection are discussed, as well as pitfalls and the avoidance of complications. This is an invaluable resource not only for neurosurgeons, neurosurgical residents and fellows in epilepsy surgery, but also for neurologists, and others who provide medical care for patients with intractable epilepsy.

Tim Tebow arrived in New Jersey Thursday for the first time as a Jets quarterback, and local fans flocked to sporting goods stores to buy merchandise with the newest Jets player's number.
Shortly after the quarterback arrived, Tebow fans at the Times Square Modell's store were able to get their hands on the newly-minted Gang Green merchandise, including $25 T-shirts that read "Tebow 15."
Businesses and fans alike hoped the quarterback will provide a spark to sales and the Jets' Super Bowl chances.
Gang Green completed the deal Wednesday night to bring Tebow to New York from Denver.
In exchange, the Jets are sending the Broncos fourth-round and sixth-round picks.
Jets management insists Mark Sanchez will remain the team's starting quarterback and Tebow said he is okay with that.
"They want me to come in and compete and get better as a quarterback and help the team any way possible. Whatever that role is, whatever that fashion is, I will do my best every time I get on that field. I give my heart and soul," Tebow said in a conference call.
Tebow became a fan favorite for leading the Broncos to several come-from-behind wins last season.

The opening of Berlin's new airport will be delayed again to at least 2014, more than two years later than originally planned after a series of embarrassing setbacks to what was meant to be a flagship project, a source familiar with the plans said.Nearly a quarter of a century after the Berlin Wall came down and 14 years after the government moved back to Berlin as the unified capital, Germany is still struggling to open an international airport to replace two from its Cold War past.The opening of Berlin-Brandenburg Airport had been re-scheduled to October 2013, after being postponed several times over the past year due to problems, for example, with its fire safety systems."There will be no opening this year," the source told reporters, confirming reports in German media. The source said no new opening date had been scheduled.The delays have been a headache for Germany's second-biggest airline Air Berlin in particular, which plans to use the new airport as a hub for lucrative intercontinental flights.The airport aims to attract up to 27 million passengers a year initially, making it about half the size of Germany's main airport in Frankfurt.The saga surrounding the airport has tarnished the image of Berlin mayor Klaus Wowereit, a Social Democrat who had made it his flagship project.Opposition politicians in the Berlin assembly were quick to criticise Wowereit for not informing them of the latest postponement, despite apparently having been already aware of it in December.The parliamentary leader of the Greens, Antje Kapek, called for a special meeting of the Berlin assembly this week, for Wowereit to explain himself.The spokesmen for both Wowereit and the airport operator were not available for comment.

I have a 10 year old Bose surround sound which I didi not want to part with when my new 3D TV arrived. I hadn't a clue how to connect it (neither had the people at the TV shop). I emailed Bose, they asked for Model number etc and emailed back with what I needed and a diagram how to connect.
This is without doubt one of the best companies to deal with
One son in University another in Perth Western Australia, there is no better way of keeping in touch. AND IT'S FREE
Ordered a Gallant AMD 4100 for my son as a Christmas present. The price was the best I could find for that spec. I had trolled the net for months before deciding. They promised delivery by Christmas, I was worried when it hadn't arrived on Fri 23 December but had an email from them saying all orders placed by 9th December would be delivered by Christmas, it arrived Saturday delivery on 24th December. I was very impressed. My son has taken the computer to university with him. He regularly has his mates round for gaming nights. So I guess he is very happy with the computer.

I have cabin near our primary residence that has electrical service. :
Here you see the meter head and a 'sub panel on the pole outside of cabin. the breaker in this panel is 200a
A close up shows two conductors and a neutral out one knockout and two conductors (but no neutral) out another knockout(right side)
On the indoor main panel of the cabin, things appear ok, two conductors and a neutral on 100a main breaker:
Now, out in the barn, which is approx 100f from the pole with meter head and 'sub panel' (first pic) things aren;t so great:
This is a 100a main with two conductors and a neutral, though the quality of workmanship and materials leaves much to be desired. The two conductors do indeed originate from the 'sub panel' under meter head on pole near cabin. The two conductors are trenched and run through pvc conduit:
Note the two conductors in conduit, and the #4 on the left is the neutral in the panel in pic above. The problem, this neutral does not originate from the 'sub panel' below the meter head, nor does it originate from the main panel inside the cabin! I really don't know where the neutral is coming from, but perhaps it's tied to a ground rod somewhere.?.
My questions are:
-Are the two #4 conductors ran in conduit from 'sub panel' on pole sufficient for the new 100a panel I plan on puttting in the barn.
- Should I pull a new #4 neutral (or smaller?) from sub panel on pole to my new box in the barn?
- Should I put a ground rod at barn and ground panel in the barn?
I am having trouble w/ power in barn. if I run a good inductive load (my good circular saw), the saw is slow to start, never reaches max speed and is easy to stall out. compressor seems to run fine though on 220 in barn.

If someone in your league completed a trade that makes you wish they'd walk into oncoming traffic, you're in luck! Here's a Mad Libs-type tirade to post in your league's messageboard because when met with pettiness, you should retaliate with more pettiness.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Y to Z
Going back to the long-lost days of my youth, I have always been captivated by baseball lore and anecdotes. In one of the first books I devoured on the subject listed the players that were found worthy of enshrinement in the Hall of Fame.
Please, blog, may I have some more?There's no Sonavabench! shirt. There's no Latin 32 shirt with a silhouette of Pujols. There's not even a Cust Kayin' shirt. I know, bummer. But let's focus on the shirts we convinced our partners to produce for this first go-around. (Yes, us supervising shirt design took us to Malaysia, burning embers onto the end of a long stick. "Give me a different font!" *poke, poke*) The first shirt is a lovely charcoal… Okay, I'm not a catalog writer. We got a Sparky Anklebiter shirt and a "It's Tough Being In A Platoon" shirt.
Please, blog, may I have some more?In 2000, a gritty bunch of veterans, role players, and youngsters almost did the impossible – beat the New York Yankees in a World Series. Led by the mad genius of Bobby Valentine, the silver foxiness of Steve Phillips, and the support of a well-capitalized owner who gladly stayed out of the public eye (Fred Wilpon), the 2000 New York Mets were almost at the top of baseball's pyramid.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Now's the time when we put all of our 2011 baseball predictions in one place. Then in October we can look back at this and laugh. Oh, and we will laugh. Big, bellowing, seat of your pants laughs. Hindsight is indeed 20/20. But where's the harm in setting ourselves to look like jackasses? We run a fantasy baseball blog, after all. Grey's picks in RED. Rudy's picks in BLUE. Anyway, here's our predictions for baseball's post-season awards and whatnot:
AL Pennant Winner – Detroit Tigers – The Yankees would've been the easy choice here, but I'm a small market kind of guy.

Though I do know about this great deal on Nigerian lottery tickets. Not only will I not be selling something, but I imagine if you read this (e)book from pages 1-102, you'll actually be less inclined to buy something from me. You might not be interested in anything I say ever again. Now if you read pages 1-102, but skip pages 19-20, 32-34, 41-43, 54-58, 61-63, 67-73, 88-89 and 93 (depending about how you feel about cocaine and prostitutes) then you might still find me somewhat likable.

Newborn Babies and Sleep
Falling Asleep at the Breast or Bottle
It is very natural for a newborn to fall asleep while sucking at the breast, a bottle, or a pacifier. When a baby always falls asleep this way, he learns to associate sucking with falling asleep; over time, he cannot fall asleep any other way. I have heard a number of sleep experts refer to this as a "negative sleep association." I certainly disagree, and so would my baby. It is probably the most positive, natural, pleasant sleep association a baby can have. However, a large percentage of parents who are struggling with older babies who cannot fall asleep or stay asleep are fighting this natural and powerful sucking-to-sleep association.
Therefore, if you want your baby to be able to fall asleep without your help, it is essential that you sometimes let your newborn baby suck until he is sleepy, but not totally asleep. When you can, remove the breast, bottle, or pacifier from his mouth and let him finish falling asleep without something in his mouth. When you do this, your baby may resist, root, and fuss to regain the nipple. It's perfectly okay to give him back the breast, bottle, or pacifier and start over a few minutes later. If you do this often enough, he will eventually learn how to fall asleep without sucking.
Waking for Night Feedings
Many pediatricians recommend that parents shouldn't let a newborn sleep longer than three or four hours without feeding, and the vast majority of babies wake far more frequently than that. (There are a few exceptional babies who can go longer.) No matter what, your baby will wake up during the night. The key is to learn when you should pick her up for a night feeding and when you can let her go back to sleep on her own.
This is a time when you need to focus your instincts and intuition. This is when you should try very hard to learn how to read your baby's signals. Here's a tip that is critically important for you to know: babies make many sleeping sounds, from grunts to whimpers to outright cries, and these noises don't always signal awakening. These are what I call sleeping noises, and your baby is nearly or even totally asleep during these episodes. I remember when my first baby, Angela, was a newborn. Her cry awakened me many times, yet she was asleep in my arms before I even made it from cradle to rocking chair. She was making sleeping noises. In my desire to respond to my baby's every cry, I actually taught her to wake up more often!
You need to listen and watch your baby carefully. Learn to differentiate between these sleeping sounds and awake and hungry sounds. If she is awake and hungry, you'll want to feed her as quickly as possible. If you respond immediately when she is hungry, she will most likely go back to sleep quickly. But, if you let her cry escalate, she will wake herself up totally, and it will be harder and take longer for her to go back to sleep. Not to mention that you will then be wide awake, too!
Help Your Baby Distinguish Day from Night
A newborn baby sleeps about sixteen to eighteen hours per day, and this sleep is distributed evenly over six to seven brief sleep periods. You can help your baby distinguish between nighttime sleep and daytime sleep, and thus help him sleep longer periods at night.
Begin by having your baby take his daytime naps in a lit room where he can hear the noises of the day, perhaps a bassinet or cradle located in the main area of your home. Make nighttime sleep dark and quiet. You can also help your baby differentiate day naps from night sleep by using a nightly bath and a change into sleeping pajamas to signal the difference between the two.
Watch for Signs of Tiredness
One way to encourage good sleep is to get familiar with your baby's sleepy signals and put her down to sleep as soon as she seems tired. A baby cannot put herself to sleep, nor can she understand her own sleepy signs. Yet a baby who is encouraged to stay awake when her body is craving sleep is typically an unhappy baby. Over time, this pattern develops into sleep deprivation, which further complicates your baby's developing sleep maturity. Learn to read your baby's sleepy signs and put her to bed when that window of opportunity presents itself.
Make Yourself Comfortable
I've yet to hear a parent tell me that she or he loves getting up throughout the night to tend to a baby's needs. As much as we adore our little bundles, it's tough when you're woken up over and over again, night after night. Since it's a fact that your baby will be waking you up, you may as well make yourself as comfortable as possible. The first step is to learn to relax about night wakings right now. Being stressed or frustrated about having to get up won't change a thing. The situation will improve day by day; and before you know it, your little newborn won't be so little anymore—she'll be walking and talking and getting into everything in sight. . .during the day, and sleeping peacefully all night long.

Nutrition & Calorie Comments
Loved these! But I subbed 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce for 1/2 c. of the margarine, whole wheat for all-purpose flour; omitted the salt; and added cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and finely-chopped walnuts. Frosted w/thinned cream cheese frosting. Like carrot cake, a favorite of ours! |
Submitted by: TRICIAN13 (12/30/10) report inappropriate |
Swap out the margarine with applesauce, swap white flour with whole wheat flour, add cinnamon and nutmeg, add a handful of raisins and maybe agave nectar instead of sugar (directions say if the recipe calls for 1 c sugar, use 3/4 c of the agave nectar as it is a bit sweeter than sugar). Good recipe |

I would make this without the margarine (I NEVER use margarine), adding spices, raisins and walnuts. Calorie rating would then be higher, of course. Only 1 cookie a day - freeze the rest. |

Yummy! I added a few teaspoons of sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon and they're yummy! |

to make it healthier, use applesauce as a substitute for marg. Add cinnamon and nuts too. Make a light glaze of powdered sugar and very little water to add a tad of sweetness. |
Submitted by: DEBBIELAMB2 (4/2/08) report inappropriate |
I would like to try but think it may have too much fat and carbs to fit into my plan! |

I will try this, thanks for the suggestions to add raisins. Would be a good touch, though not too many (sugar). Margarine should be fine if you use Smart Balance. |

Resolute Forest Products' commitment to produce quality products that meet the criteria of today's environmentally conscious stakeholders begins with responsible fiber sourcing. This entails the responsible management of the forest entrusted to our care, careful tracking of sources of wood fiber supply and the utilization of recycled fiber.
As at December 31, 2013, Resolute owned or managed 4.7 million hectares (11.5 million acres) of forest land, 99.5% of which is located in Canada and 0.5% in the United States. For Canadian operations, 64% of our wood fiber requirements are met from company-managed forest lands. For U.S. operations, 97.4% of our wood fiber is purchased from external sources.
Note: We previously reported a total area managed of 14.7 million hectares (36.3 million acres). In Quebec, as of April 1, 2013, the timber supply and forest management agreements, initially covering a period of 25 years, were revoked and replaced by 5-year timber supply guarantees. Responsibility for forest management and non-commercial silviculture has been taken over almost entirely by the provincial government. Although the industry remains primarily responsible for harvesting, forest roads and "commercial" silviculture (generating merchantable volumes), it still retains a role in the operational planning of harvesting activities and remains the holder of the sustainable forest management certificates.
Forest certification and fiber tracking help to ensure the sustainability of our fiber supply. Strict adherence to internationally recognized sustainable forest management (SFM) and chain of custody (CoC) standards provides our customers with the assurance that the wood fiber we utilize originates from responsible sources.
In Canada, as required by provincial laws and regulations, Resolute prepares 20- or 25-year forest management plans that are revised every five years. Public participation is a critical part of the process, and we encourage local community groups, individuals and First Nations communities to participate in the planning process.
To learn more, read our Wood and Fiber Procurement Policy.
All of our pulp and paper mills and wood products facilities in Canada and the U.S. have fiber-tracking systems in place that allow us to identify the source of the fiber or wood used. Most of these tracking systems are third-party certified according to one or more of these internationally recognized chain of custody standards: Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).
For details on where our certifications are held, visit the Certification by Operation page.
The regeneration of harvested areas is an essential component of sustainable forest management. As a responsible forest manager, Resolute seeks to respect the natural growth cycle of trees, while ensuring biodiversity. In Canada, fiber used in our products is sourced primarily from public land, located mainly in the boreal forest. By law, these woodlands must be promptly regenerated. The boreal forest has a remarkable ability to regenerate on its own. In fact, approximately 75% of the area harvested grows back naturally. Our foresters ensure that the rest is promptly reforested. We planted a total of 60 million seedlings in 2012.
To put the impact of the forest products industry in perspective, it should be noted that approximately 0.2% of the boreal forest is harvested by the industry each year.1 By comparison, five times this amount on average is disturbed annually by wildfires, insects and disease. The series of time-stamped images below are representative of the typical regeneration of a black spruce forest found in the northern Lac-Saint-Jean, Québec, region.

Bummed we won't get to see these guys play again this year
Wow- The UK coach said that's the best game they've played all year and they can't play any better... From the #1 overall seed! Yikes...ran into a buzz saw tonight.
Love this team!! They laid the concrete for some great years to come in Cyclone basketball. They brought back the fight and passion that makes us love being Cyclone basketball fans!

If it were me, it would be very hard leaving this team if u had a choice to stay. With Royce knowing what he has coming back to help him, I just dont see how his stock cant only go up even after next year.
Weird getting chills watching a video after a loss..but Fred is absolutely right. Couldn't be prouder of those guys and the way they represented Iowa State this year. Through the sweat and tears, they brought Iowa State basketball back.. fighting hard to become the team they did, they represent everything that college basketball can be but rarely is anymore. I love every one of them for it.

Drawn mega-pal Meg Hunt has posted a gorgeous short video of her solo show, Cosmic Forest, currently up at Portland's Land Gallery. I had the great fortune of seeing the show in-person last weekend, and… well, it's hard not to gush over a friend's work anyway, but this show truly is superb. Meg's linework and drybrush and colors (the colors!) and the tantalizing tease of a narrative that drifts across the collection of work is just awesome.
If you're in Portland or nearby, make the trip before the show comes down! If you're too far to see it with your eyeballs, don't miss Meg's Flickr set, linked below.
Okay! So it's a lovely Friday in Portland and one week later, I have lots of documentation from Cosmic Forest, including the video above. Again, all this stuff was shot by my awesome intern, and it's a lot of fun to see stuff in motion. If nothing else, it was a perfect summer show.

News : Keedy leaves Lancashire for Surrey
Report : Shahzad burst sparks Lancashire News : Shahzad lacked team spirit - Graves News : Yorkshire drop Shahzad bombshell Players/Officials:
Ajmal Shahzad
Nottinghamshire have signed Ajmal Shahzad on a three-year contract with a view to him opening the bowling and batting at No. 8 in the County Championship next season.
Nottinghamshire, who required a replacement for Darren Pattinson, had hoped to attract James Harris from Glamorgan to Trent Bridge, but he opted to join Middlesex instead. Pattinson has returned to Australian cricket and is only available as an overseas player.
In 2004 Shahzad became the first British-born Asian to represent the Yorkshire but, a month into the 2012 season, the club made him available to other clubs claiming he lacked team spirit. Shahzad joined Lancashire on loan in May and was offered a permanent deal to remain at the club but the lure of Division One cricket and the seamer-friendly pitches of Trent Bridge proved more attractive.
Shahzad has long been regarded as one of the most promising prospects in English cricket but, aged 27, his record is modest. His first-class bowling average of 34.01 with just three five-wicket hauls is disappointing for one so talented, while only three first-class 50s and a batting average of 23.62 hardly reflect his ability. Shahzad has played one Test, 11 ODIs and three Twenty20s for England with his most recent appearance being against Bangladesh at the 2011 World Cup.
"As a seam bowler there is no better ground to play at than Trent Bridge," Shahzad said. "Hopefully playing alongside so many England players and performing well for Notts will put me back in the limelight."
Mick Newell, Nottinghamshire's director of cricket, said: "I spoke to Ajmal at the back end of the season, he's been aware of our interest for some time and we see him as a major signing for all forms of the game. His white ball record in particular is excellent and will give us some experience to replace Darren Pattinson as well as opening the bowling for us in four-day cricket and providing useful runs from the number eight position.
"He's had some experience of international cricket and we'd like to see him get back to that level through some impressive performances for Notts."

Driver On The Run After Rollover
Posted: 12:19 AM Jan 26, 2013
Reporter: KKTV
Springs police are still looking for a driver involved in a serious rollover crash early Saturday morning, who fled the scene after the collision.
Police say a minivan attempted to make a left turn from North Carefree Circle onto Oro Blanco, and was broadsided by an oncoming sedan. The impact of the collision flipped the minivan on its side, blocking the southbound lanes of Oro Blanco. Debris from the accident had the northbound lanes of Oro Blanco shut down.
The driver of the sedan was seriously hurt in the accident and taken to the hospital. That person is expected to recover.
Witnesses saw the occupants of the minivan get out and run off northbound on Oro Blanco. Following a trail of blood to a townhome, police eventually caught up with one of the passengers, a juvenile. He was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police say he is not expected to face charges.
Police tell 11 News they know who the driver is, but were not releasing that information at this time. A description of the driver and the vehicle were not available.
Police have not determined if alcohol was a factor in the crash.
11 News will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.

Despite evidence, parents' fears of HPV vaccine grow

Despite evidence, parents' fears of HPV vaccine grow
NEW YORK | Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:04am EDT
(Reuters Health) - More parents of teen girls not fully vaccinated against human papillomavirus (HPV) are intending to forgo the shots altogether - a trend driven by vaccine safety concerns, new research suggests.
That's despite multiple studies showing the vaccine isn't tied to any serious side effects but does protect against the virus that causes cervical cancer, researchers said.
"There were a lot of very sensationalized anecdotal reports of (girls) having bad reactions to the vaccine," said pediatrician and vaccine researcher Dr. Amanda Dempsey from the University of Colorado Denver.
"Safety concerns have always risen to the top of the pile, in terms of being one of the main reasons people don't get vaccinated, which is unfortunate because this is one of the most well-studied vaccines in terms of safety and is extremely safe," Dempsey, who wasn't involved in the new research, told Reuters Health.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all kids - both boys and girls - receive three HPV shots as preteens.
Researchers led by Dr. Paul Darden from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City got their data from a national immunization survey that involved phone calls to almost 100,000 parents.
They found that from 2008 to 2010, the percentage of teens who were up to date on their Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis), MCV4 (meningococcal) and HPV vaccines all increased slightly.
Still, about three-quarters of girls ages 13 to 17 were not up to date on their HPV series in 2010. And the proportion of parents of those girls who said they didn't plan to get their daughters the rest - or any - of their HPV shots rose from 40 percent to 44 percent, the research team wrote Monday in Pediatrics.
At the same time, the proportion who cited safety concerns as their reason for abstaining from getting the HPV vaccine increased from less than five percent to 16 percent.
For all three vaccines asked about in the survey, other reasons parents gave for skipping their teenagers' shots included not thinking they were necessary, not having had a specific vaccine recommended by a doctor and, for the HPV vaccine, believing their child was not sexually active.
"These are wonderful vaccines preventing severe diseases," Darden told Reuters Health in an email. "HPV is the first vaccine that will prevent cancer which is a tremendous health benefit."
Dempsey said past research has suggested that although more girls are being vaccinated against HPV, vaccine rates haven't increased as quickly as for other shots, such as Tdap.
Darden reports having been a consultant for Pfizer, and one of his co-authors is on a safety monitoring board for vaccine studies funded by Merck, which makes Gardasil, one of the HPV vaccines.
Parents shouldn't rely on the media or Internet to learn about vaccines, according to Dempsey, since it's hard to tell what information is legitimate.
"If they have questions or concerns, they should trust their provider to give them accurate information about the vaccine," she said.

Rain, Rain (Don't) Go Away: The Tonga Room Rally
I can only imagine that the call to action is that classic Hawaiian song, "Mele Kalikimaka."
Since the New York Times reported it it must be true: San Franciscans are rallying around the Fairmont Hotel's venerable old Tonga Room. As news of a hotel expansion that would force out the old tiki bar hit the wires, fans of this kitschy spot—where the drinks all taste, in our opinions, like the spiked fruit punch you concocted for college parties—have gathered to protect the landmark. Petitions have been signed, Scorpion Bowls have been drunk. Losing such a place is sad (as our own Jordan Mackay wrote last summer, they just spent over $1 million restoring the place), especially since, as Otto Von Stroheim is quoted as saying in the Times piece, "It's the only one that has a rain storm of that scale. It's a classic."
