Remember Me
Lexi Gussert sits up against the Miss Basketball trophy awarded by the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan on March 12 in Detroit. Gussert became just the second girl from the U.P. to be given the award. (photo courtesy of Detroit Free Press)CRYSTAL FALLS— Her name, really, is Alexis Jo. But nobody actually calls her that. Maybe just her parents Scott and Kathy, when they're are mad at her.
No, she's just Lexi, no last name needed. Opposing coaches, players and even famous broadcasters like former Michigan State Spartan great Greg Kelser don't use her last name much. Surely, when an athlete gets to first-name-only status, they've made an impact. And Lexi Gussert certainly did during her career with the Forest Park Trojans. She finished with 2,630 points, which is the most ever scored by a prep boy or girl in the U.P. That total is fourth all-time on the state girls list. Plus, she now stands atop the all-time state list for 3-pointers made in a season with 105. For the second straight year, Gussert was selected as the Associated Press Class D Player of the Year and this year she was picked as the Michigan Girls Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year. And the big one came with the announcement on Wednesday that Lexi was chosen as Miss Basketball, the award given to the best female prep player in the state by the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan, in conjunction with the Detroit Free Press. It's just the second time a player from the U.P. has been picked, the other being Krista Clement of St. Ignace in 2003. "I found out after the regional final," Gussert said. "I went to my coach's house and that's when they did a toast. We teared up. It's just a huge honor to be called the best player in Michigan." Though she found out she won the prestigious award on March 6, Lexi couldn't share the news with any of her teammates or anyone else beyond her family for that matter. The team found out she'd won when it was on its way downstate to play in the state semifinals in East Lansing. Instead of stopping there, the Trojans' chartered bus took a detour and headed for Detroit, where Lexi was presented with the huge trophy. So does Gussert have another hidden skill – keeping secrets? "Not really, I just had to keep this one." While last Wednesday's presentation will always be a highlight for Gussert, her final game wearing Forest Park black-and-red will be a tough one to forget. The Trojans stood minutes away from bringing home the first girls basketball state championship in school history, but Mt. Pleasant Sacred Heart came roaring back to win the title 56-53. Gussert had a sub-par shooting game, going 7-for-21 from the field after hitting 6-of-20 in the semifinal. Understandably, Lexi has taken the loss hard. "It killed me after the game," said Gussert, who felt her shot was off the entire last week of the tournament run. "We played our hearts, but my shots just didn't fall. It was really hard for me, it still is." Gussert has heard nothing but support from the Forest Park community since the final game. Trojan fans know they will likely never see another player of Lexi's caliber play for their school. "Lexi is a gift to her family," Forest Park superintendent Becky Waters said of Gussert, who is also top in her class with a 3.97 grade point average. "Then she became a gift to the school district, then a gift to the U.P. and a gift to the state of Michigan. "We can say her path began in Crystal Falls, Michigan." "She is the most amazing player that we have seen in the U.P.," assistant coach Jackie Giuliani said. "What she has done for girls basketball in our area cannot be described in words," head coach Jeff Syrjanen added. Lexi said she will continue her basketball activities immediately, heading back into the weight room and onto the court to scrimmage with members of the Trojan boys team as she prepares to begin her collegiate career at Michigan State next fall. Before she does that, she paused to reflect on the past four years playing in her hometown. "I can just describe it as family. I think that's what girls basketball did, it really brought a lot of people together." And with that, and after a couple of weeks eating one pasta dish after another, Lexi headed out with family and friends to scarf down a burger and fries. Bon appétit, Alexis Jo.

Some words to live by from a recent Irish Times article, The way we argue now:

Definition of force play in English:
force playSyllabification: force play
A play in which a runner must advance when a ball is hit, thereby allowing a fielder to put the runner out by touching the approached base before the runner gets there.
More example sentences
- Sometimes, you have to rely on the second baseman and the shortstop yelling at you (telling you whether to try for a force play at second).
- You are correct about a force play for the third out negating any run scored on the play.
- And if they do so, a tag is required since this is not a force play.

YouTube Adds Call-to-Action Overlays – Drive Action Off YouTube
You want to measure impact on retail sales of your product for your online video campaign on YouTube? Well now they're helping you do that with a new overlay that can even help drive that impact deeper into your business and allow you to link off-site.
We always talk about online video campaign ROI and how difficult it is to actually determine it and how to do it accurately. Well now YouTube might have added a new feature that will help us do exactly that. The new call-to-action overlay will help you track how many users move forward with some sort of transaction whether a sale, sign-up donation or other positive interaction which you are specifically hoping for from them.
So how exactly do you track all of that via YouTube? Well, with their new Call-to-action overlay will help drive users from Promoted Videos, and you can track the clicks within Youtube insight. This has been in testing for some time they tell us and there was a lot of dialog with search marketers on how they wanted it to work. Now, anyone who runs a campaign on YouTube with Promoted Videos can take advantage of the new ability to drive users away from YouTube as desired.
All you need to do in order to take advantage of the new overlay is begin a campaign to promote your video on YouTube. Go into the video details page for that specific video and fill out the "call-to-action overlay" fields there. These fields include a headline, ad text, destination URL and an image if you wish. When the video is played the overlay will show up and the interactions will be tracked on your YouTube Insight.
Now if only those interactions could be tracked in Google Analytics and incorporated into campaigns with adsense…

Few hospitals are part of ACOs, report says
Cincinnati Business Courier, August 21, 2012
Accountable care organizations are a major component of health reform, but only 13 percent of hospitals are participating in one or plan to do so in the next year, according to a new report. In Greater Cincinnati, only Mercy Health has formed an ACO. The region's other major hospital systems are taking a wait-and-see approach, fearful that the arrangement won't be financially viable. The new data comes from a survey of 1,700 hospitals by the New York-based Commonwealth Fund.

- I have no idea when the show went off the air, but after Orton got dragged away a few times, Glen The Libertarian took off his jacket and tie and stormed the ring, before HHH pulled him off. HHH then charged the ring and Vince McMahon, of all people, came out and held him back. Vince then charged the ring and HHH and Steph held him back. Finally Steph charged the ring with HHH and Vince holding her back. Orton and Glen both left after they were pulled away.
- The audience was 99% Cena during his first entrance and no matter how much people hate the both of them, when Cena and Orton faced off at the end, the building was going ape sh*t.

From the Blog: The Constitutional Convention: The Committee of Detail Report, A First Draft of the Constitution
Wed, 06 Aug 2014
By ConSource Staff
On July 23, the Convention decided unanimously to appoint a Committee of Detail consisting of five members to draft a revised version of the current resolutions. The following day, the delegates were chosen. The Committee of Detail was made up of Mr. Rutledge, Mr. Randolph, Mr. Gorham, Mr. Ellsworth, and Mr. Wilson. Each member of the committee was a lawyer and was familiar with drafting legal documents, and utilized this experience in preparing a draft of the Constitution.[i] The delegates believed a smaller committee of only five members would be more appropriate to do more detail ...

As a guest of our hotels in Frederick, Maryland, you'll trace Civil War history through the historic old town and nearby battlegrounds. Learn about the dedicated doctors and nurses who tended to the war wounded at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and visit the haunting battlefields of Antietam and Monocacy.
Guests of our Frederick hotels can explore the walkable old town from Market Street, lined with boutiques in 19th-century storehouses and shopfronts. In 1862, thousands of injured army men from the battlegrounds at Antietam were brought to makeshift hospitals in Frederick. The National Museum of Civil War Medicine shows how wartime medics saved thousands of lives in front line hospitals. Union and Confederate soldiers once trooped past the doors of the Museum of Frederick County History. This 1800s Federal-style house is now filled with colonial-era furniture and surrounded by inviting formal gardens. The Barbara Fritchie House details the life of the legendary Frederick woman said to have waved a Union flag at Stonewall Jackson's regiment as it marched through town.
Break up an afternoon of museum hopping by browsing the antiques stores and trendy shops near our Frederick hotels. Townhouses and a log cabin in Shab Row are now atmospheric stores selling hand-thrown pottery and delicate jewelry. Guests of our hotels in Frederick will find plump Maryland crab cakes and juicy steaks at restaurants along Market Street. Stay in this neighborhood after dark to sample hand-crafted Maryland beers and dark stouts on tap in Frederick's welcoming taverns.
Book our Holiday Inn Express® hotels in Frederick to commemorate the fallen at Civil War battlegrounds. The bloodiest single day in all American history took place at Antietam National Battlefield in 1862. After the clash at Monocacy, weakened Confederate forces were unable to mount a pivotal invasion of Washington, D.C.

Value investor Bruce Sherman, who views Alico stock as undervalued, said he had held discussions with management. He is evaluating Alico's plan—made in response to majority shareholder Atlantic Blue Group's decision to explore the sale of its stake—to "investigate all transaction possibilities and to protect the interests of all shareholders."
Sherman added that he wants to maximize "the value of [Alico's] unique real-estate, citrus, and other natural-resource assets" and wants the company to efficiently use its tax-loss carryforwards. He owns 366,681 shares (5% of the voting stock) after buying 19,626 shares from Dec. 3 through Jan. 30 at prices that ranged from $34.85 to $44.60.

Hedge fund Starboard Value sent a letter to the company, expressing a desire to increase its equity stake and requesting an exemption from Wausau's shareholder- rights (poison-pill anti-takeover) agreement that would allow it to add to its position.
Starboard noted in the Feb. 1 letter that Wausau has had its poison pill in place for more than 14 years and that it effectively limits shareholders to a 15% holding. Starboard cited guidelines from shareholder-rights group Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), advising that poison-pill provisions last no longer than three years and allow stakes of up to 20%.
The hedge fund added that it "seriously questions [Wausau's] rationale and need for adopting and extending its poison pill, because there are anti-takeover provisions under both Wisconsin law and [the company's] articles of incorporation that adequately guard against any potential abusive tactics by third parties to gain control." Starboard owns 7,300,000 shares (14.8%).

The Activist Spotlight
PLX Technology (ticker: PLXT)
Business: manufactures integrated circuits that perform critical system-connectivity functions
Investor's Average Cost: $4.32 per share
Stock-Market Value: $220 million ($4.89 per share)
What's Happening: Potomac Capital is recommending that the board retain a nationally recognized investment bank to explore PLX's strategic options, including a sale of the company.
Key Numbers and Dates:
5.1%: the percentage of common shares owned by Potomac.
Nov. 13, 2012: the date on which Potomac started acquiring its position.
$20 million: the amount that PLX recently cut from its annual operating expenses
Behind the Scenes: Potomac is not an activist investor, but will work with management behind the scenes and will not hesitate to become activist when the situation warrants.
In April 2012, after intense pressure from former shareholder Balch Hill, including commencement of a proxy fight, the board agreed to sell the company to Integrated Device Technology IDTI -1.71% Integrated Device Technology Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq $16.34 -0.28 -1.71% Aug. 22, 2014 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2.34M AFTER HOURS $16.34 0.00 % Aug. 22, 2014 4:27 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 20,109 P/E Ratio 21.49 Market Cap $2.47 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $333,032 More quote details and news » (IDTI) for approximately $7 per share. Accomplishing its goal, Balch Hill sold down its position. However, the deal with IDTI fell through on Dec. 19, because of antitrust issues. On Dec. 21, with Balch Hill gone, the board named a new CEO and apparently abandoned the plan to sell the company.
Potomac is picking up where Balch Hill left off, saying that just because the activist is gone, PLX shouldn't return to the inferior strategy of remaining independent. Potomac is putting the company on notice that it must pursue a value-maximizing sale or Potomac will pursue all options to unlock value.

Dorothy visits Hindley school for Wizard of Oz performance
11:10am Monday 10th March 2014 in News
WITCHES, Munchkins and flying monkeys took over a school hall as it was transformed into the magical Land of Oz.
Pupils at St Peter's Primary School in Hindley were blown away by a performance of the Wizard of Oz by touring theatre company, M&M Theatre Productions.
The performance was held as part of the school's World Book Day programme and was intended to enrich the curriculum for the whole school.
Assistant head teacher Leanne Crompton said: "Year six have been studying the story of the Wizard of Oz so it was great for them to see it adapted for the stage.
"It was extremely successful and both staff and pupils enjoyed the performance. Everyone joined in with the singing and clapping throughout. All in all, it was a great way to start our World Book Day theme."

Patients are to be involved in the assessment of mental health care in order to improve services, writes Linda Steele.
Andrew Wakefield - the doctor who first linked MMR and autism - has resigned. But does that mean he was wrong about the vaccine? Linda Steele reports.
The failure of councils to implement a national job agreement devised by unions four years ago has led to social workers and care staff losing out on pay increases and deepened the sector's workforce crisis.
New training will help health professionals deal with adults who are stressed by their young babies, says Linda Steele.
Anyone who can stop psychiatrists "throwing their weight around" has to be a good thing, James Hanlon reckons. A first-time mental health in-patient, he has found the experience "very frightening".
Social care agencies voice concern at the shortage of fully qualified social care staff, but staff who have gone private reap the rewards. Linda Steele reports.
Antisocial children are at serious risk of lifelong social exclusion and are a significant drain on the public purse. The biggest cost is crime, followed by the need for special educational provision, foster and residential care, and state benefits.
New Labour's ambitious mental health initiatives have gushed forth with fine words, but there is still a gaping chasm between the rhetoric and the reality of life at the sharp end, writes Linda Steele.
Plans to introduce a nationwide pilot staff training scheme in the residential care sector have been greeted as a vital element in achieving long-term improvements to the overall quality of service, writes Linda Steele.
Linda Steele on research that finds identification of families in need is no longer enough - parenting is for all
Linda Steele asks what form the new, more demanding social work degree should usefully take
Scottish Tories have pledged that social services will be brought under direct control of the NHS in a reversal of the party's policy in the rest of the UK.
Contact with friends and family, having somewhere decent to live and making enough money to enjoy leisure time are essential for feeling good. But people with mental health problems cannot take them for granted. Linda Steele looks at a new national programme which aims to promote social inclusion among service users.

Wi-Fi rules require a default setting of probing at 1Mbps, but users can turn it off, Hart said. In fact, Cisco recommends its customers modify their products to probe at no less than 6Mbps or 11Mbps, he said.
Now, Hart and Myles are proposing to make the low data rates optional.
They say they aren't suggesting the removal of 802.11-1997 and 802.11b from the IEEE standard. Instead, they're proposing changes that would allow for two certification tracks at the Wi-Fi Alliance. One track would hold on to the slower speeds, while the other would gradually discourage the use of the older modes. Hart and Myles refer to the new approach as a "green" certification, saying the slow probe traffic acts like pollution in the 2.4GHz band.
To keep the change gradual, the "green" certification would actually start out with slow rates mandatory. Later, they would be optional, and eventually, vendors would have to leave those old protocols out of their products to earn the "green" certification.
Not so fast, say others in the Wi-Fi world.
"I want to make sure that when we deploy an Internet-of-things type device in the future, that it can rely on the fact that the infrastructure can support its transmissions," said VK Jones, vice president of technology at Qualcomm Atheros. His company is a major Wi-Fi silicon vendor and a subsidiary of Qualcomm, which supplies many of the chips in phones and tablets and is looking to other small connected devices for future growth.
Jones thinks the Internet of things, which may include smart electric meters, environmental sensors, health monitors and many other small, low-power devices, represents a growing class of devices that will often make use of very low Wi-Fi data rates. Range will be the key reason for this, he said: Most such connected devices will have faster standards such as 802.11g built in, but they may be so far from the nearest access point that 1Mbps is the only available rate.
For example, a smart power meter installed on the far end of a house may have to go through several walls to get to the home's Wi-Fi Internet gateway, he said. A 1Mbps rate may be the only option for achieving that distance.
"You can rely on the fact that the infrastructure today in the home supports 1Mbps. We'd lose something powerful about Wi-Fi that we have today if we eliminated that," Jones said.
The Hart and Myles proposal suits the enterprise market that is Cisco's bread and butter, he said. In offices, range is less important than capacity, and the newer wireless LANs being used in enterprises have access to the 5GHz band and its riches of additional spectrum uncluttered by 2.4GHz-only devices, Jones said. But not all Wi-Fi fits that profile. "We need to take into account all market segments," he said.
Jones was there for Hart's presentation and brought up his objections there. "We had a nice discussion about it," he said, adding that he and Hart are friends.
Hart presented the idea in the 802.11's Maintenance Task Group, which addresses technical issues not covered by the special groups that craft new standards such as those that periodically boost the speed of Wi-Fi. The next step will be for members to check within their companies to find out who may want to continue using older protocols. Members of the Maintenance group are now due to exchange comments on the plan. Hart hopes to have those comments resolved by July.
The two sides aren't necessarily on the brink of a standards war. Both Jones and Hart are in favor of approaching the Wi-Fi Alliance for its help in addressing the issue. Jones said there may be new ways to address the lower rates but that it's important to know what the current and future markets for those technologies look.
"What we're not open to is being hasty and to putting in motion a series of events that has these important modes not available any longer," Jones said.

Great location in centre of Old Town.Posted 14-Jun-2014
Pros: Close to everything with good facilities.
Our host was very helpful and informative. The apartment was roomy with a terrific outlook into a bustling square (noise wasn't a problem though, there's double glazing). There are lots of interesting places to visit close by and plenty of good eating places. The hardest thing was probably finding and accessing the apartment as there are many steps in the Old Town and then up to the room but not a major issue.

Brilliant location off a large plaza in the old city - could not get closer to the action. Lovely quaint little apartment - access is up a steep set of stairs through a gate directly off the plaza. There are two apartments in the building - upstairs one is better although on levels 2 and 3 and up a tight stairway It has a small kitchen with separate tiny bathroom tucked into a dormer window with views directly down into the square. Lower apartment has bathroom across the entry. Apartment would not be suitable for people who are not reasonably agile and unable to climb stairs. Rooms were clean and comfortable although not luxurious. Nerio the owner is pleasant and helpful. No satellite TV and no wifi (nearby cafes have free wifi).

Wonderful neighborhood, clean and comfortablePosted 14-May-2012 on Hotels.com
I really had a great stay at the Nerio Apartments for a long weekend. It is located right in the middle of the Old Town, and the premises were very clean and comfortable. The safety-related details of the premises were thoughtful as well, such as the carpeting patches on the wooden stairs in order to prevent slips and accidents. The owner/manager also let us check out several hours after the usual check-out time, and so we could enjoy that extra day at the beach and more touring before heading over to the airport in the evening. I would stay there again if I happen to go to Dubrovnik in the future!

Lily Aldridge is consistently adding hyphens to her professional title, and while the latest has to do with something pretty steamy (remember that Sports Illustrated cover?), the one we're most excited about has to do with her designing gig with clothing brand Velvet.
The Spring 2014 line is available for preorder right now and really does mix the model's allegiances to New York, California, and Nashville (think a scarf-print maxi dress alongside a sheer linen sweater and striped tops). As we begin to allow ourselves to start dreaming of warm Spring weather, we should know that there's no time like the present to start shopping for it, too.

Marketing 2014: Driven By Insights, Striving For Personalization, Breaking Media Boundaries
Posted by Melissa Parrish on December 30, 2013
- 7 Recommendations
- 0 comments
December 26th at my house was probably a lot like it was at yours: We ate leftovers; we binge-watched shows we'd missed earlier this year; and we played with toys. Not kids' toys—tech toys. The one we played with most is also the one I spent the most time researching before I bought it: the 3D printer.
Between printing demo pieces and whistles, I checked out my favorite sites to see if any new stories had been posted over the holiday. One of them appears to have implemented a cookie-based content targeting strategy, as both its tech and design sections were packed with headlines about 3D printing. I was pleased to see this attempt at relevance, but it failed in my case. Why? Because it was too one-dimensional.
By just looking at my recent cookies, an automated system could conclude that I'm interested in 3D printing in the abstract. But in fact, I was just trying to learn everything I could in order to make the most informed purchase. If the targeting strategy had taken into consideration the timing of those cookies (I only ever dug into the topic between Thanksgiving and the second week of Dec), my affinity data from Facebook and other social networks, and my long-standing content habits, I would probably have ended up with headlines related to smartphones, tablets, and wearables: things I'm more interested in now that my Christmas shopping is done. 3D printing headlines may have seemed more relevant, but they didn't get a single click from me.
Any move toward increasing relevance is both welcome and necessary, but one-dimensional targeting doesn't take full advantage of the insights and technologies available. In the coming year, marketers will start contextualizing their data, drawing even richer insights, and using those insights to create not just more relevant, but personalized campaigns and experiences. In short, 2014 will be the year that marketers begin to turn big data into smart data. Specifically, my colleagues and I believe that:
- Social data will improve both social and non-social marketing programs, as marketers increasingly have access to the "database of affinity." Marketers will begin to measure the value of their social programs by assessing social data's impact on other digital channels. As social's efficacy expands across the customer lifecycle, marketers will also shop around for social technology partners who are able to use non-social data to increase the effectiveness of their social programs.
- Mobile and sensor-laden device proliferation will increase both the volume and variety of contextual data at marketers' disposal, putting context-based insights at the heart of all marketing planning. Location will cease to be just one mobile targeting dimension and instead impact the overall way marketers understand individual consumers, as sophisticated technology gives a view into the physical context of consumer-brand interaction across touchpoints.
- Both content and ad products will become better-targeted, more personalized, and more digital-centric as even traditional broadcast media begins to use smart data to inform business decisions. Addressable TV will reach scale in 2014, though adoption will be sluggish as advertisers struggle to break free from the program-first mindset of TV buying.
For more details about this transition from big data to smart data, subscribers can view our 2014 Predictions report here.
In the meantime, we'd love to hear from you. How are you planning on putting data to use in the new year?

I don't know what to do

when I am at work he has been taking 3-4 bottles of 40z ebm and @ 6:30 pm I nurse when he is not distracted or give him 4oz ebm and then nurse 3-4 times trough out the night. he used to sttn but not any more. I know u want me to get to the point. my question is what can I do to increase his intake. right now I am feeling like the worst mom on earth. Please help me help my ds. I don't even get 3 hrs of sleep at night. Even when he is sleeping I can't sleep I am so tired and frustrated. Thank you for taking the time to read and for your help.
|Tue, 06-16-2009 - 8:39am
If your baby has been so sick firstly it is no wonder the weight gain has not been good.
It is also no wonder that all he wants is breastmilk. Babies are often like that when they are sick, and it is better for them in so many ways if they will have that rather than not much at all.
Solids are not necessarily the best thing if your baby needs to gain lots of weight, as they do not have as many calories as breastmilk. Your baby seems to be having plenty of breastmilk. When he is well again, try the solids again, after breastfeeding, and in small amounts.
The issue of you not getting a lot of sleep is another thing itself.
Have you tried co-sleeping? or having his cot near your bed, so you can pick him up and nurse while barely waking up yourself? or even having your partner bring him to you in bed to nurse?
Sttn can very as you have found, and a baby who used to do it can stop doing it for various reasons. When you are working, some of it may even just be wanting some closeness and connection with you again. After all, you are his one and only, his mum!
Hey you are definitely not the worst mum on earth. Motherhood is a difficult job and you are doing so well to continue bf through work and all.
|Tue, 06-16-2009 - 8:49pm
his pedi said he should gain at least 1 lb a month. I don't really know how he figured out the calories that was really confusing to me. btw he told me today that I should try to fortify his bm with formula powder to make it more concentrated but I respectfully declined. (I work in the same hospital with his pedi). I couldn't co sleep because my 3yo refused to sleep in her room so our bed is no longer ours.but his crib is in our room. The problem is once I am awake it takes me forever to fall a sleep again. I am also stressed out. Again thank you so much for all your support
|Wed, 06-17-2009 - 12:30pm
I agree that baby being sick may mess with the rate of gain, and the desire to eat.
|Wed, 06-17-2009 - 1:39pm
The ped said baby is to be gaining a pound a month at this point? No way in heck!! That would be expected before 6 months, but not after. After 6
|Wed, 06-17-2009 - 7:51pm
I will definitely try to rearrange the rooms this weekend. That actually sounds great. unfortunately they don't have the digital scale they still use the old weighed ones. today he took 15 oz while I was @work and I BF until he fell a sleep.
BTW 5 of my co-workers were pregnant around the same time and most of them only bf for 6wks 2 of them made it to 12 wks. Their kids are much larger than mine. The youngest one is only 4months old and he already weighs 17 lbs. Every time we compare notes about our babies it makes me feel as if I am not doing my job as a mom. Thanks to you guys I am well informed now and I will try to be less crazy
Thanks again
|Wed, 06-17-2009 - 8:32pm
They may need to recalibrate the scale.
FWIW, my own dd was a year old and weighed 18 pounds.
|Wed, 06-17-2009 - 8:40pm
Just wanted to give you a few more small, healthy babies to compare to:
I was 18 lbs at 12 mos.
My 1st DD was 17 lbs, 5 oz at 12 mos and 20 lbs, 5 oz at 2 years.
My 2nd DD was 15 lbs, 10 oz at 12 mos and 19 lbs, 4 oz at 2 years.
Now my 2nd DD does actually have some issues w/ food and has seen a speech path to help w/ that, although I'm not convinced that the eating problems

Israel must achieve peace
Published: Thursday, April 1, 2004 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 at 10:56 p.m.
It was interesting to note that when Israel took out the leader of Hamas, Hamas immediately stated it would take revenge on the United States. What does this say about the perception of the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world?
Through our long support of Israel, involvement with the Saudis and general perception of the rest of the world that the United States is the puppet master and great meddler in the Mideast, we seem to have become inextricably involved. And, stupidly, we added even more substance to that image by attacking Iraq.
On 9-11 we saw the whole never-ending Arab-Jew conflict arrive on our shores. Instead of distancing ourselves from the increasingly heavy handed Israeli domination of the Palestinian people, we went to Iraq, a breeding ground of terrorism for Israel, but not responsible for our problems with al-Qaeda.
Since Israel's survival is no longer at stake - they have become strong with our billions in yearly aid - we, as puppet masters, must push for peace even by withholding aid until they reverse the situation. Until compassion replaces ever-escalating hatred, our country will know no peace, terrorism will not rest and we will be in a quagmire for generations to come.

I have been working for this company for 2 years, working Monday to Saturdays with no days off or half days. I have leave days 18 days left, Saturdays included. How many normal working hours are there in a month? This company says we should be working about 200 hours a month. But doesn't that seem like a lot? Please advise.
Hi Mmosti,
Its difficult to answer this question without knowing more detail in terms of if you are contract or perm staff and also what industry secto you work in, as each industry can have specific requirements with regard to working hours as stipulated by the bargaining council.
Without that prior knowldege, I am working on the premise that you are a permanent staff member and not part of a bargaining council. With that in mind, I refer you to the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, which states in Chapter 2, number 9, that the maximum number of work hours in a week is 45 hours and it goes further to explain how those hours are broken down.
Se the following link as a cross reference: http://www.labour.gov.za/legislation/acts/basic-guides/basic-guide-to-employers-basic-conditions-of-employment-duties
This is ultimately an ave maximum of 194 hours a month (45 x 4.333 ave weeks in a month)
Anything over the 45 hours a week would be classed as overtime.
Perhaps refer back to your contract of employment for further clarification.
I am unsure what exactly you are wanting to ultimately find out in this instance, but would advise you that its important to take leave, as you need to have good balance in your work and home life. Without it, working long hours with no break can result in burnout.
I hope this is useful info for you and welcome further questions should you feel that there is anything furhter you would like some guidance with.

School finance committee hears audit report
The Brainerd School Board Finance Committee heard a presentation Thursday from LarsonAllen, its independent auditors, about the annual audit.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.NAIROBI, 25 February 2011 (IRIN) - Anti-government protesters, who have taken to the streets of Khartoum and other Sudanese cities over recent weeks, run the risk of sexual assault, torture and detention, say human rights workers and demonstrators. We confirmed five cases of women who were sexually assaulted during or after the protests, said Rania Rajji, Amnesty Internationals Sudan researcher, adding that there had also been cases of torture, and injured people being denied medical care while in detention. According to Amnesty, some 60 people who took part in protests are in the custody of security forces. However, government spokesman Rabie Abdul Attie told IRIN the number was between four and 10. They are detained because they violated the law, you need to get a licence to demonstrate in Khartoum. That is to protect people and allow them full freedom of speech, he said. The alleged sexual abuse against female demonstrators has also been condemned by the Sudan Democracy First Group, a coalition of activists, trades unionists and academics. The group released a statement [ http://www.ahewar.org/eng/show.art.asp?aid=1252 ] on 20 January detailing the experiences of six women detained by security services in February, including the daughter of prominent government critic Hassan al-Turabi, who is also now in detention. One of the women, according to the statement, had been beaten on all parts of her body during her interrogation. Others were forcibly undressed and several were verbally abused with revolting sexual language during their detention. In Khartoum, about 150 people were arrested and one student killed during clashes between demonstrations and police, said Amnesty. According to media reports, protests have taken place not only in Khartoum but also in its twin city, Omdurman and El Obeid. At least one newspaper has been shut down, said the Committee to Protect Journalists, while students told IRIN a university had also been closed. Facebook foes The Sudanese protesters share some of the same awareness-raising tools as their counterparts elsewhere in the Middle East: Twitter and Facebook pages, such as Youth For Change [ http://on.fb.me/i6Mp5b ], where one poster wrote: Sudanese people are not going to be silenced. It is time to demand our rights. Similar Facebook pages include The Spark [ http://on.fb.me/e6g1gP ] and WeR Fed Up [ http://www.facebook.com/Girifna ], produced by Girifna, [ http://www.girifna.com/blog-girifna/?page_id=2520 ] a non-violent direct action group, calling for the ruling National Congress Partys resignation and replacement with a more inclusive transitional government. With the international media focused on Egypt in the past few weeks, the detentions of protesters in Sudan have been greatly under-represented, Dahlia, a university student who took part in some of the protests, told IRIN by email. One of her friends, Habab, said two of her brothers were still detained since their 30 January arrest and were experiencing very harsh treatment. Sami, another student working for an NGO in Khartoum, said his fiancée had been detained and tortured by security forces. She was arrested during demonstrations in Gezira University. I decided a while ago that I won't wait for someone to bring the change I want, another student told IRIN, asking not to be identified. I want to live in my country with dignity and I realized that people are actually waiting for a miracle. Most people are not willing to put themselves in danger. So when I heard about the mobilizations online, I decided that I will go on demos; thats the first time I joined something like this. There is a consensus among the different groups mobilizing people that it is time for change and that they are going to support this with all means. It is important to note that we are all working to spread the word on the corruption, the killings and the torture. Everything [President Omar el] Bashir and his government did in the past 21 years, she emphasized, adding that people in Sudan were joining efforts for another round of streets protests. Price factors The unrest in Sudan comes amid rising prices of food and other basic necessities, as well as cuts to fuel and sugar subsidies and the near-unanimous decision by South Sudan, in a 9 January referendum, to secede from the North. There is clearly discontent in Northern Sudan with the prospect of Southern secession and with recently enacted economic austerity measures. But the protests in Khartoum were relatively small and appear not to have developed much momentum, in part because the security services in Sudan appear to be relatively loyal to the regime, said Joe Temin from the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), a think-tank based in Washington. Government spokesman Attie, however, said the Sudanese protests bore no comparison with those in Egypt. In Egypt, there was a gap between the rulers and the people, but not in our country [where the rulers] live with the people, he told the New York Times. In an apparent move to appease protesters, El-Bashir, in power for more than 20 years, announced on 21 February that he would not stand in elections in four years time. He also said Sudans future would soon be discussed with the opposition in a national dialogue. cm/am/mw © IRIN. All rights reserved. More humanitarian news and analysis: http://www.IRINnews.org

North on High Street is another of his projects: the old National Guard Armory, which he bought in 2007 to keep it from becoming a tear-down and sold in 2009 to a woman who has opened a bridal salon there. Down the street, next to a recently defunct Bible bookshop, is a sliver of a storefront—just seven-and-a-half feet wide—that someone is using for storage. He's had thoughts about turning it into a coffee shop—someplace to get a latte and maybe a scone made by the town's fancy cake bakery. He figures there are people who'd like a place like that. If it happens, he's already got a name: Sufficient Grounds.
"There's pent-up demand," he says. He wants Hillsboro to have 21st century niceties without sacrificing its character. (If elected: WiFi everywhere!) But how do you convey that without insulting your neighbors? Take Magee's, a place where—judging by the reception he gets—he has cheerfully consumed many platters of burgers and fries, chicken and noodles, beans and cornbread. "I love that food," he says, "but I'd give anything for a hummus plate."
Occupying much of the block next to the courthouse is what Hastings calls the "best real estate in town"—a one-story, 13,000-square-foot red brick complex that once housed the city's police and fire departments. He bought it last year for $74,000—just over two-thirds the appraised value. His was the only bid—a fact that has not kept detractors from griping about the deal. Now he's looking for investors to help him turn the property into a cluster of shops and cafés. A challenge, but nothing compared to what it's going to take to pull a rabbit out of his hat at Bell's Opera House.
Hastings is fond of saying that locals used to regard the town's 1895 opera house like an ex-wife or a former girlfriend: neglected and forgotten. "I came along and said, 'Wow, what a great old building.'" And it turns out the girlfriend metaphor is apt: Bell's Opera House is where Hastings's love affair with Hillsboro enters high-maintenance, engaged-to-Kim-Kardashian territory.
He bought the building in 2007 with his mother, an interior designer who lives in Florida. They got it for $100,000 (the owner was asking triple that) and he says he has put another $100,000 into the commercial storefronts on the street level so that he can rent them out. Hastings takes me up the musty staircase to the second floor, where the performance hall remains—the ornate proscenium and sweeping balcony; huge, ancient frames waiting to be covered with canvas to make flats for long-gone thespians; pullies to load materials from the alley below; and tantalizing scraps of handbills plastered against the backstage walls—"Lynn and Flannery, the Lady Minstrels" and "The Lealy Brothers, Rink Gymnasts," and the Drayton sisters, who signed their name and the year—1936—in the dressing room. The auditorium is faded and dusty but magnificent. Even with the seats removed, you can feel it: This is where Hillsboro once came to experience something special.
Whether Hillsboro will ever get to do that again is a big question. Hastings figures it will take $4 million to restore it, and he and his mother formed a non-profit with the intent to renovate Bell's as a multipurpose facility for meetings, conferences, and performances. The plan is for the nonprofit board to purchase the building from them, then fund-raise and apply for grants for historic restoration. He has already received some funds from the Ohio Cultural Facilities Commission for his initial work. State funds, federal money—there's no question that the fiscal conservative in him is conflicted about the possibility of taking substantial tax dollars for the opera house's rebirth. But Hastings thinks this can be a cultural, commercial anchor of uptown. "We know we're doing something good," he says. "I see a lot of government money given out for crap. Maybe it's hypocritical, but that's life."
Running for public office is not such a stretch for a comedian. That's according to former Cincinnati Public School Board member Michael Flannery, who began his stand-up career here in Cincinnati with Hastings back in the day. In fact, he says, it's pretty natural: "The comedian part of you—the part that's [observing the world and] saying, 'Hey! Look! That's wrong!'—that's the same part of you that wants to get on the school board." Ironically, he points out, if you're a comedian and you manage to get elected, "Performance isn't part of the job." Nobody wants to be a joke in office.
John Levo is taking Drew Hastings seriously. The retired banker and former council member registered to run as an Independent when no Democrats filed for the office. He says he did it because he had experience to offer and because, with no Democrat running, the next mayor would be elected by a relative handful of people voting in the GOP primary. "I believed that was grossly unfair to the citizens," Levo says.
He doesn't doubt Hastings's sincerity, but it sounds as if he finds Hastings's vision a bit too Lake Wobegon-ish to accomplish the complicated, collaborative, long-term work of bringing in decent jobs and growing multi-employee companies in the region. "Drew seems to have a real interest in redeveloping downtown Hillsboro," he says. "But Hillsboro is more than just downtown."
As Levo sees it, there's a big difference of opinion between longtime residents and newcomers: The long-timers want to see the expansion of business and industry; the newcomers see the future of the city as a revitalized small town with coffee shops and boutiques. "I don't see these types of things developing a large number of employees that will increase the revenues of the city," he says. He commends what Hastings is trying to do with the opera house, "but I don't know that renovating one building can be enough of a spark plug" for the whole town's economy. And then there is the glaring example of what happens when grand plans move at a glacial pace. The historic Parker Hotel on Main Street was purchased years ago by someone who plans to restore it; today, even the most charitable preservationist would be hard-pressed not to call it an eyesore, and the owner and the city are battling over its future.
"Drew is actually trying to do something," Levo concedes. "But I don't know if what he envisions is what the rest of the citizens of Hillsboro are envisioning."
That question will be answered this fall, when Hillsboro does or does not elect Hastings mayor after what may or may not be a grueling campaign. Like so many who have waded into the pool of public life via the ballot box, he's suddenly found himself neck-deep in dirty laundry.
In mid-April, a former girlfriend filed a complaint against him with the Highland County Sheriff's Office, alleging that she had received a "disturbing message" from Hastings. The investigating officer spoke to the woman and to Hastings, who said that he was the one being harassed by the 25-year-old. The sheriff's office found no physical threats, concluded it was a breakup spat, told the two to stay away from one another, and filed no charges. All of which was handled out of the public eye until three weeks after the GOP primary in May, when The Highland County Press wrote about the situation and the allegations—including the woman's claim that Hastings had threatened to use his friendship with the sheriff against her, and a message Hastings allegedly sent to the woman in which he told her "I am suddenly aware that my life is not working. I have a drug problem. I have an escape problem."
Not exactly Weinergate or the Valerie Plame Affair, but more than enough to give Hastings a taste of Big Time Politics. Overnight, he says, "The campaign went from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington to In the Heat of the Night." He says the "drug problem" was a reference to a reaction he was having at the time to a prescribed drug. "She made it sound like a lifestyle drug problem," he says. The rest of it was end-of-relationship drama, leaked to the press, he claims, by his detractors.
It was, Hastings says, "Sheer TMZ." A little bit of Hollywood, down on the farm.

Measurements of common iliac arterial blood flow in anurans using Doppler ultrasound.
Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine : official publication of the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians (2006)
- PubMed: 17312785
Available from www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Color Doppler ultrasonography was used to determine time-average mean velocity and cross-sectional area of the common iliac artery in bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) and marine toads (Bufo marinus). Volumetric blood flow and weight-adjusted blood flow measurements were calculated from this data. Volumetric flow rates of frogs (31.8 ml/min) and toads (23.6 ml/min) did not differ statistically. However, when flow rates were adjusted for body mass, toads displayed a significantly greater flow rate of 238.1 ml/min/kg compared to 114.4 ml/min/kg for frogs.

XOMA's Gevokizumab Wins FDA Orphan Drug Designation
XOMA Corporation announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted orphan drug designation to its IL-1 beta modulating antibody labeled gevokizumab for the treatment of pyoderma gangrenosum. XOMA specializes in the discovery and development of therapeutic antibodies such as gevokizumab.
The FDA Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) only grants orphan drug designation to novel treatments or biologics which has potential to treat rare diseases or conditions affecting less than 200,000 patients in the U.S. An orphan drug designation gives drugmakers a seven year period of marketing exclusivity in the U.S., privilege to apply for annual grant funding, and clinical research trial design assistance. In addition, a waiver of Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) filing fees is granted along with tax credits for clinical research costs.
John Varian, Chief Executive Officer of XOMA, said "Selecting pyoderma gangrenosum as our next Phase 3 indication reflects our commitment to creating and capturing value from gevokizumab, particularly in indications where patients have few effective treatment options… We intend to present what we believe are compelling data from our pilot study in PG and to solicit feedback from the FDA about the requirements for a Phase 3 program in this rare disease."
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis of painful spreading necrotic skin ulcers, which can be classified under four types based on skin ulcers manifested. The disease occurs in about 1 per 100,000 people. Up to 50 to 70 percent of PG patient population are estimated to have an underlying systemic condition, with the rest of patients idiopathic. Though combination treatments consisting of topical and systemic therapies are available, up to 46 percent of PG patients experience a relapse of the disease.
Gevokizumab is a monoclonal antibody with unique allosteric modulating properties. The drug has potential to treat patients with various inflammatory diseases such as pyoderma gangrenosum. The drug works by binding to interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) which is a pro-inflammatory cytokine and modulating cellular signaling events that trigger inflammation. Gevokizumab is currently being studied in the global Phase III clinical program EYEGUARD. The company also has an ongoing proof-of-concept program to study gevokizumab's safety and efficacy in multiple indications.

Combined with the makeup, hair, henna and photography, this was such an amazing shoot! I absolutely love how light and fresh the pictures are, truly capturing those precious moments before a South Asian bride is heavily adorned.
I decided to give the hair that messy feel, with neutral makeup to truly give that essence and feel of pre-bridal adjournment. However, I absolutely love this look, and the makeup would still look lovely on a bride.
Salima has such a beautiful light touch to her pictures and is able to truly capture emotions. Sarah's henna is gorgeous; light yet detailed, displaying the true art that is henna.

Alicja Wolny had a stellar softball career at Louisville.
The former Bee All-Metro first-team player from Oak Ridge High School made the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-America second team this season and landed her fourth All-Big East Conference selection after leading the Cardinals with a .423 batting average and setting a school record with 55 RBIs.
What's nicer for Wolny is that her career will continue for at least two more years.
Wolny is in London and will join the British National Team on Thursday when it begins training for the European Championship from July 7-13 in Prague, Czech Republic.
Great Britain hopes to become one of four European qualifiers for the 2014 World Championships in Holland, which should include the United States.
Wolny, a first baseman, has dual citizenship and relatives in England, so she jumped at the opportunity to visit her mother's homeland for the first time since sixth grade.
"What more can you ask for but to travel the world and play the game you love," Wolny said. "I feel so honored. It's going to be an interesting experience."
That's heady stuff for a former left-handed shortstop in her youth playing days.
Wolny was a four-year starter at Louisville, where she ranked in the top five for career hits (248), doubles (67), home runs (29), RBIs (165) and games played (232).
She's also one of numerous former area players who made an NCAA All-Region team, including Cal's Jolene and Danielle Henderson and Lindsey Ziegenhirt (each from Sheldon), Oregon's Jessica Moore (Sutter) and Courtney Ceo (Bear River), Oregon State's Natalie Hampton (Center), Florida's Stephanie Tofft (Lincoln) and UCLA's Ally Carda (Pleasant Grove).
"It's the type of girls we have," Wolny said. "They grow up being competitive, they work hard, and they put the time in. We also have great coaching and great fields. Some of my teammates who played in Kentucky don't even have fields with fences. We're really blessed here."
Wolny will return to Louisville in the fall she has another semester before she graduates and that's fine, even if it's a long way from El Dorado Hills.
Wolny loves the sports-mad atmosphere that is Louisville.
"It's a home away from home," Wolny said. "The support for Louisville athletics is amazing. Our men's basketball program won the national championship, our women's team made the finals, and the baseball team (was) in the College World Series."
Another All-American Cal State San Marcos senior pitcher Cortney Allen of Elk Grove was named to the NAIA All-America first team for the second year in a row.
Allen posted a 34-7 record with a 1.12 ERA in 249 2/3 innings. She struck out 203.
The No. 9 Cougars finished the season 43-12 after losing to St. Xavier of Chicago 3-1 in the NAIA National Championship playoffs.
Allen suffered a back injury during a game the summer after graduating from Elk Grove. She went to cosmetology school and spent time working as a hair stylist and at other jobs before returning to school and the sport in 2010 at Sacramento City College. She was the California Community College co-Pitcher of the Year in 2011.
Last year, she went 24-6 in helping San Marcos reach the national semifinals. She finished in the school's top 10 in ERA (1.10), opponent batting average (.194), wins (58), saves (10) and complete games (39).
Football background helps Former Ponderosa volleyball standout Samantha Rains is preparing for her junior season at Dominican University.
But the middle blocker/right side from Placerville also is using her previous experience as a youth football offensive lineman and linebacker to teach children about the game at the San Rafael college's sports camps this summer.
Rains comes from a football family. Her father, Randy, played defensive tackle at Sacramento State. Brother Connor is an offensive tackle at Wyoming.
Her other brother Clay played football at the United States Military Preparatory School and is now on the Army Black Knights' club boxing team.
Rains, a 6-foot junior, led Dominican in total blocks (51) and solo blocks (18) last season.

Comments by the
chief executive of pasta giant Barilla are not sitting well with the lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, including here in Connecticut.
In a Thursday interview on Italian radio, Guido Barilla said only traditional families would star in their commercials. "I think the family that we speak to is a classic family," he said.
Barilla went on to say if gays didn't approve, they could eat another company's pasta.
And that's exactly what many are doing,
in Long Island, and locally, too.
In a
Facebook post, the Norwalk-based
Triangle Community Center shared a link to an article on Human Rights Campaign, called "
Five Pasta Brands That Support LGBT Equality."
"We're guessing that after hearing some of the remarks recently made by the Chairman of
Barilla US Pasta you may be looking for some alternative brands."
"Always happy to help!"
A Long Island businessman who is a gay father of five children was not so kind in his reaction.
"The only way for Barilla to get ahead of this is to either fire their idiot chairman or do exactly what he said they would never do, which is run a television commercial that features a gay family. This is going to hurt Barilla's bottom line."

The WGAN Manhattan Transfer Contest is a texting contest that requires listeners to text in to win. The contest will air January 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th, and throughout those five days, WGAN will inform listeners of the Manhattan Transfer keyword. There will be one keyword and listeners will only be allowed to enter the contest once. On Monday, January 20th, WGAN will compile a list of all the text submissions and draw five winners at random. When listeners enter the contest, they will receive a confirmation message indicating that they have entered. Winners will be called on the 20th. Tickets start at $39.50.
WGAN contests are open to all eligible Maine citizens 18 or older who have not won anything on WGAN in the past 30 days or any prize valued at $600 or more in the past 6 months. Only one winner per household is permitted within 30 days after a household has a winner. Any prize awarded to an ineligible listener will be deemed null and void, and an alternate eligible winner may be named.
Employees of WGAN, the Portland Radio Group and its ultimate parent company, Saga Communications, Inc., their advertising agencies, affiliates, contest sponsors, employees and immediate families of each, and employees of all media of mass communication within a one hundred mile radius of the WGAN main studio are not eligible to win any contest. Immediate family includes the spouse, great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of the employee and his/her spouse. This also includes individuals for whom the employee is current legal guardian. Any prize awarded to an ineligible listener will be deemed null and void, and an alternate eligible winner may be named.
