"As part of our continued expansion and commitment to serving customers, my leadership team believes it's appropriate to rebrand our company to better reflect what we do," says Ron Meyering, president of M&K Truck Centers "All of our services and proven brands are backed by the same experienced team and bring the same confident approach to the industry that our customers rely on."
Immediate steps to launch the new branding for the company include the introduction of the new name and identity. The new brand insignia will be rolled out in 2014 by all M&K locations.
"We are really excited about introducing the new name and branding. The change to M&K Truck Centers is the shift in corporate strategy we needed take on a stronger vision across our locations. People have come to trust M&K and we're hopeful that the new name will bring awareness to all our services offered, not just the sales aspect," added Kirby Shotwell, the company's marketing coordinator.
Originally incorporated 25 years ago as a used truck dealership, M&K has since become one of the largest Mack/Volvo dealer groups in the nation.

You can feel and see the changes. Subtle changes. It's getting dark earlier. The sun isn't up before me anymore. There is a chill in the morning air.
The crows that were raising the young of the year and making an ungodly racket when feeding have moved on now that their babies are mobile. Flecks of gold and red dot the cotoneaster hedge that lines our back yard. All of these things are signs of summer coming to an end.
Autumn is almost upon us. In rural Alberta canola crops are being harvested their yellow blossoms long gone. Fields of wheat have turned golden. For farmers autumn is here. For the rest of us it is only a few short weeks away.
I don't have much to say so this will probably be the shortest post I have made since I started blogging a few years back.
I'm starting to develop a love/hate relationship with the internet and photography. All of the horn blowing and "look at me", "if you like my pictures, click like my Facebook page", is turning me off from posting. I intend to keep a lower profile. Photography has become an introspective thing for me. I don't seek to become famous or rich because of it. In fact I shun publicity and the attention that comes with it. What does that say about me? Maybe I'm weird or strange? Maybe, but I've never been happier or more at peace with who I am.
Happy shooting,

I walk in the door and put the keys down on the table in the hall. The cups I am to wear tonight are there ready for me. I remove my blouse and drop it on the floor. I pull down my bra and place a cup over my left nipple and attach the hand pump. I pump 6 pumps and feel my nipple pulsing, throbbing. I have learned to breathe slowly while I do this. Once I came before I put the cup on my right nipple. And I do not have permission to cum. I focus and place the other cup on my right nipple. I pump 6 times. I pump each cup 4 more times for a total of 10 pumps on each nipple. It's important that I follow this procedure exactly.
Driven to distraction, I cross the living room, kicking my heels off at the bar and pour myself a whiskey. The ice clinks in the crystal glass as I pad over to the couch. My nipples are killing me. I consider ripping the cups off. But I know this is an idle thought. I know I will last the next 2 hours. I just know it.
My jaw lowers and my lips relax in anticipation of next 2 hours of pure distraction. I lean back on the couch, close my eyes and the entire world is my throbbing nipples. I imagine them in your mouth, your teeth, your fingers, your clamps. I imagine myself on all fours with my breasts engorged with milk, hanging low too the ground. I realize that I am moaning lowly and open my eyes. I look at my nipples in the cups. They have doubled in size. I go back to the hall and pump 5 more times on each cup. As my nipples throb the jolt of pain runs through my entire body. I tense and moan. My panties are wet so I take them off and leave them by my discarded blouse. By the time I make it back to the couch there is juice running down my leg. I remember the image I had and get down on all fours on the wool carpet in front of the hearth. The fire is not lit, but my body is so warm and alive I don't care. I take this position with my forehead on the floor. My ass hih in the air, my breasts hanging so the nipple cups almost touch the carpet. The throbbing overtakes me. My mind drifts and I see myself attached to a machine pumping my nipples until they are raw and red and flowing with milk.
I am so completely relaxed in this position with these images that I don't hear you come in. I don't know how long you watch me. I don't know when you turmed me over and took the cups off my nipples. I remember you suckling my nipple. I imagined feeding you from my nipples. I imagined murmuring to you about the machine and how useful it would be. I dreamt of feeding you from my nipples every night. I awoke in our bed the next morning. My nipplese were delightfully sore and rough. My breasts were swollen.

- Solid local steakhouseFoodieInTrainingDined on 8/26/2014We enjoy going to Trancas when we want a good steak at a reasonable price. Nice traditional steakhouse atmosphere great for the whole family. Always crowded, but they always find us a table.Special Features:
- Napa character and history!NeverEnoughRosesDined on 8/23/2014Recommended by my sister-in-law, for their prime rib, I booked a table for 7 on the 16th for my sister's birthday. Enjoyed the experience so much we brought dear friends here, just a week later, for another celebration...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great MealPeggyH10Dined on 8/17/2014My husband and I were looking for a nice steakhouse for dinner while we were staying in Napa. I think this restaurant serves an older demographic (decor was a bit dated and the clientele seemed to be older, neighborhood-regulars), but we thought we'd try it out anyway. Service was a bit slow, but we were not in a hurry. Food was excellent (we both got the filet). Worth the time and the price!Special Features:
- Hungry for a steakOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014Best steak. Four in our party. All were done to our liking. Very attentative service. Great value. Wish they were in the town that I live in!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice dinner outOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/2/2014We came for the Prime Rib, which was delicious. The service was excellent as well and the drinks were good too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great rib eyeBoxergalDined on 7/20/2014Had one of the best rib eye steaks ever. Service was good, but still this place is a bit pricey!!! I've been there once before and the food was so so.....it's a bit inconsistent.Special Features:
- Table for six took 3 hoursScottDined on 7/19/2014The food was good it just took forever. We arrived at 7 pm for a reservation made on open table, their computer system was down so they gave us a table outside. Didn't get out main dishes till 8:30 pm ordering desert added more time. Getting the check was just as bad. Seemed like they forgot about us out on the patio.
- Always enjoy our visitsjennnifersusanDined on 7/7/2014good food and always attentive service. Look forward to our next visitSpecial Features:
- AnniversaryLuvfoodDined on 7/5/2014Went there for our anniversary food was great service awesome.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Steak & Prime RibjimmywesVIPDined on 7/4/2014Great Steak & Prime Rib. Fast & attentive service.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just OK.dd007Dined on 7/2/2014The prices for their Rib eye steak on their website is $6 more than listed. The Rib Eye was average. Medium priced steak house with easy parking and friendly staff. Not great, not bad.
- FrankDined on 6/20/2014Was disappoint to find out at 7:30 on Friday 20th they were out of Prime Rib! Sign indicated famous for Prime Rib and they were out? Someone needs to keep track especially on the weekend your out of the most famous thing your are known for. Poor PlanningSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/19/2014We ate here for dinner. The wait service was very attentive and kept our beverages full. My spouse had the steak which had great flavor. I made the mistake of ordering the french dip. The roll and Swiss cheese had good flavor, but the prime rib was devoid of any flavor. A better French dip could be had for half the price at Arby's. If you go, don't order the flavorless prime rib.
- Great steakhouse.BeezerDined on 6/19/2014We were looking for an unpretentious , not too expensive restaurant in Napa for my birthday. Being from out of town and unfamiliar with the area we were both very pleased with Trancas as it fit our criteria perfectly. Yummy calamari appetizer with a fabulous dipping sauce. My prime rib was outstanding and cooked perfectly... So huge that I could only eat half. My husband (who's not a huge steak man) LOVED his sirloin and ate the whole thing. Service was prompt and friendly. If we lived here this would be our go to place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good basic steaksOverseasvisitorDined on 6/17/2014Good steaks; nothing special but nothing bad eitherSpecial Features:
- In a word - UnderwhelmedI8it2Dined on 6/15/2014My first thought when we entered was that we had gone back in time and entered the Lyon's lounge in 1989. We started with the bacon wrapped chestnuts, which I was really looking forward to. Unfortunately, it was a misconception - they were water chestnuts...way different. One is a tree nut and the other is a corm. They were still good, but not what I expected. I ordered a New York Steak Sandwich, extra lean for $15, adding cheese for $1 more, and a side of BBQ sauce for another $.50. (Charging for BBQ sauce?!?) What I got was a fatty steak on a hoagie roll, with no cheese or BBQ sauce. I can see why this place is a favorite of geriatric locals - there is no flavor to choke on. For the price and hype, I expected much more out of this place.
- Excellent great!4familyDined on 6/14/2014The service was excellent , the good was great, and wine list was awesome lots if choices, they also have the nice outdoor dining!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun restaurantKennySDined on 6/14/2014The food is good. My wife said that her prime rib was tasteless and dry. The last time we went, we both had one and they were delicious. It must have been an off night. It could use remodeling, but it is clean.Special Features:
- KeithHVIPDined on 6/10/2014The dinner was superb. Simple mixed greens salad with blue cheese/balsamic vinaigrette comes with your entree cost, but it was the two entrees that continues to impress. Seared breast of chicken on fluffy bed of saffron risotto and a terrific Mexican gulf prawns dish that was marvelous. Six u-15 babies perfectly cooked in a mild sauce full of garlic reduced to a perfect consistency. Thank you all again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a pleasure!millsDined on 6/8/2014Our family always enjoys our gatherings here! Wonderful Staff! Excellent Food! Welcoming Atmosphere! Thank you for awonderful time!Special Features:
- Always greatsteakloversDined on 6/7/2014This restaurant is our go-to place for any special occasion. We love taking new people here because we now it will always deliver.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The worst experienceVoniDined on 5/11/2014My mother consume a paper napkin while eating here house salad. Our waiter and the manager was noticed. There solution was her meal will be on the house. Manager never come over to apologize, bottom line the worst experience ever.
- Great SteakloveagoodsteakDined on 5/11/2014My wife and I were visiting the Napa area and really wanted to have a great steak. The food at Trancas Steakhouse was excellent and the prices were quite reasonable for an outstanding meal. The wait staff was courteous and professional. We were there on Mother's Day and it was an overall excellent dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AMAZINGCassiebaby18Dined on 5/9/2014I haven't been to very many steakhouses but trancas steakhouse is By far the best steakhouse I've been to!! Everything on the menu is amazing just AMAZING!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, but nothing specialMarsnutDined on 5/8/2014My wife and I were visiting Napa and looking for a restaurant that locals eat at. The conceierge recommended this steakhouse. Trancas was what you'd expect from a locals steakhouse. Interior was clean, but nothing fancy. Service was outstanding. Unfortunately, the food was just average. We both had the Prime Rib which the menu said was a specialty. We were served an ample portion of meat that was cooked to our specifications. Unfortunately, it wasn't as tender as most prime ribs are. In fact it was very firm, like a NY Strip. Taste was OK, but nothing "special". Overall it was an acceptable dining experience, but it is not likely one that I will repeat the next time we are in Napa.Special Features:
- Great prime ribAlexVIPDined on 5/6/2014Fabulous prime rib; reasonable corkage fee; and good side dishes. We haven't tried other entrees, but the other options look good too.Special Features:
- The following 45 reviews are from the Trancas Steakhouse reviews archive.
- Old school steakhouseOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/3/2014My husband had been out at the wineries all day and ready for a great eat. The prime rib and short rib we ordered were delicious. This is not the place to go for a romantic dinner, as it looks like a place that has been around a while. Very casual and relaxed atmosphere. I felt a little over dressed. Great for a large group since the pricing was reasonable and if you like karaoke. I was impressed by the number of people that got up to sing. I guess liquid courage? Also got to keep up with the warriors game which was a plus.Special Features:
- cbChuckDined on 5/3/2014had 6:30 reservations and had to wait 1 hour before being seated at our table. it took another 15 or 20 minutes before we received menus and water. when the apitisers were served 2 out of our group of 8 were forgotten. then entrees were the same fiasco. two steak entrees were missing. we had to ask someone for our waiter several times. would not go back or recommend this place to anyone
- The line out the door, good food!GWillisDined on 4/26/2014We enjoyed eating at a locals place. Staff attentive. Not a fancy place. Quality food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Average EateryKP69Dined on 4/24/2014Been here few times over the years and always much time in between. The food is okay , maybe step above Sizzler down the street. The food always seems to be just average never meeting the price they charge. Service is good and friendly, but not very experienced. I had Lamb and wife had Prime Rib. Just average and was $70 without drinks.Special Features:
- Steak HousewilliamDined on 4/24/2014Older style, local restaurant. Pictures on the walls of dinners over the years and booth style seating.Special Features:
- Son in law birthday dinner in NapaLoriGDined on 3/22/2014Last week my husband and I went to Napa for 7 days. Our kids and granddaughter (8 years) joined us for the weekend. Prior to their arrival, my husband and I saw the town (wine train, Safari West, dined at Bottega, more wine tasting, etc.), but our dinner at Trancas is the highlight of our Napa trip. We all had such a good time because the food was excellent and the atmosphere was comfortable, very family friendly. I recommend the filet mignon ($30) and the prime rib ($25), both were done perfectly and a good quality, tender beef (we share). The horseradish is the real stuff. The mashed potatoes were also very good. My husband said the chicken ($18) was very good, but the risotto was not available. That was our only disappointment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First Time, not the LastDSSforfishDined on 3/15/2014Excellent dinner, one ordered the chicken with a very good risotto, and the other a filet mignon. Both were excellent and we were impressed with the service and the quality of the food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Below ExpectationsBdayBoyDined on 3/14/2014As a devoted patron from the past, I hadn't visited in 3 years. The service was always great, the food excellent with many appetizer choices. This was my birthday dinner, my girlfriend wanted to take me to Cole's Chop House; I declined insisting on TSH. We were immediately seated, and brought bread, butter & water, it went downhill from there. The young waiter got confused about the "specials" . I wanted the T-bone and prawn cocktail. Sadly, prawn cocktail is no longer available, so the waiter suggested we have the muscles platter, only to be told they had sold out. When I went to order my T-bone, I was told that it was also sold out. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!Special Features:
- Conveniently located30yrNapkinVIPDined on 3/14/2014It was my husband's birthday and he likes steak; we had not been to TS for a long time. As before, the steaks are the only thing that gets a rave review. The service is barely adequate and the only food that is special is the steak. The salad and sides are merely okay. I feel the prices are a little high for what they offer but it IS the Napa Valley so we are used to that. Did not want to drive out of town after work on a Friday so it seemed like a good choice. The hubby did enjoy his filet mignon.
- First dateShabbaRanksDined on 2/22/2014I had my first date here, great food mood lighting, excellent service, although the table next to us had 2 older guys arguing with eachother wich I thought was funny but a little outa line.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun Local SpotChristineVIPDined on 2/22/2014Trancas Steakhouse is great for a good meal close to home. Very casual and friendly...food is good and not too expensive. Happy atmosphere and friendly people.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner for twoDinnerDined on 2/15/2014Service was slow sat for long time before sever greeted us, then it took long for drinks ,soup and salad to began to come to table. Had to send steak back due to under cooked Two many random toddlers running table thought I was at a chuckie cheese instread of out with my husband. With slow serve it took forever to just get water and bread on table and at the end. No discounts were given.
- Best service!NellyDined on 2/14/2014This restaurant was really busy. There was one particular host that took care of us. I completely understand how busy and crazy it was because of valentines day. This woman did notice us and checked on us all the time. I would definitely come back on a busy day because of her. I wish I had her name so 'she' could get credit for this. Overall good experience and great food! Thanks you guys!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valentine's DinnerTammyDined on 2/14/2014I made reservations and they were ready when I arrived. We were seated right by the bar which is very crowded and loud. I asked to be moved across the room in a booth and they did so with a smile. The dinner was wonderful and the service was really quite fast for it being a special day for everyone. All four of us enjoyed our dinners. Good food.Special Features:

Albany--A celebration is in the works to honor troops with the 48th brigade in Albany.
Tonight, members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars met with business owners and chamber of commerce leaders to plan a 'welcome home' celebration.
It will take place July 15th at the VFW post in Albany. There will be plenty of food, entertainment, and games for the troops and their families.
Organizers says it's important to show them our gratitude.
"I was in the Vietnam era, and this kind of appreciation was not given, and that's one of the reason's that VFW is involved in order to show that we do support the troops," says Paul Murray with the Albany VFW Post.
Organizers hope about 600 soldiers and their families will show up for the event.

Della Costa Family Vineyards
2010 Dancing Lady Old Vine Zinfandel
California: Alexander Valley
Mission Briefing
The chemistry of happiness
George Bernard Shaw said that "Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire". We wonder, was he under the influence of a premonition about today's wine when he wrote that?
Today's Della Costa Family Vineyards 2010 Dancing Lady Old Vine Zinfandel is the best Zin that we've reviewed so far this year. That's high praise, as we've already reviewed several.
This delectable wine is richly layered with juicy fruit flavors that sit lovingly atop balanced earthen and subtle spice characteristics. Enjoy this wine all on its own or with a variety of food pairings. Just be sure to put down your glass - before the wine inspires your feet to a dance of Zin-fueled joy.
Tasting Profile
Almost magenta in the center (dark and deep with just a little bit of translucence to it) with a full magenta at the rim.
Dense and slightly sweet with cherry cordial, sweet plum, cherry tobacco leaf, vanilla bean, marionberry, and hints of mace and other exotic spices.
Extracted and concentrated with dark cherry, blackberry pie, dusty bramble, dried violets and subtle brown spice. Black pepper adds a lively punctuation at the tail end.
Smooth and very elegant, this is a pleasant and easy drinking wine. The finish is long and lovely, with just a touch of white pepper at the very tail end.
A hearty meal of Beef bourguignon, served with pearl onions and fresh mushrooms.
What the Winery Says
In 2005, we began Dancing Lady Wines. The wine that we produce today is made from the original Zinfandel vines planted over 100 years ago. These original old vines continue to yield the highest quality grapes in the area. Our current winemaker, Gia, follows in her grandfather's footsteps and is proud to continue the family tradition. Dancing Lady Wines is the result of our love for family, heritage, and land as we continue a family legacy started so many years ago.
Our 2010 Old Vine Zinfandel is an elegant vintage, full bodied with great cellar potential. The wine is full of dark fruit aromas, balanced tannins, and a white pepper finish.
91 Point Review - Wine Spectator (Previous Vintage This is stylish, but shows a keen sense of place. Layered and luscious, with aromas of cherry, blueberry and white pepper that lead to complex, rich flavors of plum, licorice and cinnamon spice.

About the Winery
Shortly after the Civil War, our great-grandfather, Francesco Passalacqua, arrived in California from San Lorenzo della Costa, Italy. Like many Italian immigrants during this time, Francesco settled in Sonoma County hoping to achieve the American Dream. He financially supported himself by selling produce from a vegetable wagon. By 1896, Francesco had earned enough money to purchase a ranch in Alexander Valley for the cost of ten gold coins. Francesco and his son, Emil, our grandfather, planted Zinfandel grapes on this ranch. Emil used the grapes from those vines to make wine at the then family owned Fitch Mountain Winery and Oliveto Winery.
Emil owned and managed this ranch. He married Camille Young, and they raised their children on this land. Today, Emil's son and our father, Fred, oversees the day-to-day operations of the vineyard. Under Fred's owndership and management, the vineyard now includes varietals such as Merlot, Syrah, trellis Zinfandel, as well as the original Old Vine Zinfandel.

Say it Ain't Joe
Maybe he's just what America needs. Then again, maybe not.
I speak of Vice President Joe Biden – who, according to Politico, is "intoxicated" by thoughts of being inaugurated as president in 2017. He'd be delighted to "finish what Barack Obama started."
Well, who better to finish what President Obama started than Uncle Joe? I'll bet he'd be even better at runaway government spending, lack of budget discipline and total disinterest in addressing entitlement growth, tax reform and other essentials for getting our economy going.
I'm certainly no fan of Obama's policies, but here's one area where he really falls short: He's not funny.
Bill Clinton was funny. He reminded us, said Dennis Miller, of the guy in the college fraternity who used to tap the keg.
President George W. Bush was plenty polarizing during his two terms, but he was funny, too. The press filed reports every time he bumbled his words. And Bush gave late-night comics almost as much material as Clinton.
"As you all know," said Jay Leno after Bush left office, "George Bush is no longer president, so they'll be no monologue (tonight)."
There was a lot of truth in Leno's statement. Obama doesn't make good fodder for late-night comics. That's partly because late-night comedy writers tend to skew left and largely agree politically with him.
But it's also because there's not much funny about him.
During the last presidential campaign, says the Daily Beast, citing a study by George Mason University, late-night comics did twice as many Romney jokes as Obama jokes – David Letterman did five times as many.
The Romney jokes pulled no punches. With the exception of Leno, however, the Obama jokes hardly ever made Obama the butt of the joke. Here's a typical example:
"Yesterday, Mitt Romney's son Tagg said that during the debate he wanted to punch President Obama for calling his father a liar," said Conan O'Brien. "He also wants to punch his father for giving him the name Tagg."
Which brings us back to Biden.
If there's anything most people agree on in these polarized times, it's that every time Biden speaks, he delivers gifts from the comedy gods:
"If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there's still a 30 percent chance we're going to get it wrong."
"When the stock market crashed (in 1929), Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'" (FDR's first inauguration wasn't until 1933, and nobody had TVs to watch in 1929.)
"Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya," said Biden to Missouri state Sen. Chuck Graham, who is confined to a wheelchair.
Yes, old Joe is a tremendous source of humor, though here is something that is not so funny: He actually could become president – and could continue the spending, government expansion and lack of leadership Obama has started.
Obama's machine was skillful turning out new voters – many of whom don't worry about things like debt, deficits and potential economic collapse. That machine just might put an old political character like Joe into the nation's highest office.
My preference is for a bold, results-oriented reformer, such as Republican Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal – someone with the guts to attack our problems boldly and ideas that will get the needed results.
I worry that the majority will reject such ideas, however, and that our transformation into a slow-growth, high-tax, high-debt, European-style state is inevitable.
Ah, well, if old Joe becomes president, at least we'll get some decent late-night jokes out of it.

WCI Communities Inc. expects its initial public offering of 8.41 million common shares to price between $21 and $23 a share.
The Florida home builder filed for an estimated IPO of up to $150 million in May.
The company said Monday it plans to sell about 6.82 million shares in the offering to raise funds for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition and development of land and home construction.
The remaining 1.59 million shares will be sold by stockholders.
WCI builds single- and multifamily homes and develops golf courses, marinas and other amenities as part of its planned communities in coastal Florida. The company owns or controls around 8,300 home sites and plans to use the proceeds from the offering to acquire and develop more land.
Its predecessor company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August 2008, the result of a highly leveraged balance sheet. It emerged from bankruptcy in 2009 and focused on shedding assets during the following two years, selling almost all of its properties outside Florida.
The company swung to a first-quarter profit of $586,000, compared with a year-earlier loss of $6.67 million as revenue from home building jumped. WCI also swung to a profit in 2012, driven by home-building revenue.
The company plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol WCIC.

Investigating professional auditors' perceptions of factors affecting their ability to resist client management pressure in audit disputes
AbstractBased on perceptions of 106 Egyptian auditors, this paper examines the effects of 4 factors (provision of non-audit services (NAS), level of competition among audit firms 'C', size of audit firm 'S' and client's corporate governance (CG) structure) on auditors' ability to withstand client management pressure. The results indicated that the 4 factors were significant at the 0.05 level. However, the effect of NAS was much greater than any of the other. Moreover, the study has contributed to the literature by implying some reasons why the auditing profession in Egypt is still being perceived as not attaining professional status.

Oil spill may have caused heart problems in commercial fish
GULF OF MEXICO -- A new study finds that the Gulf of Mexico oil spill may cause heart problems in some commercial fish.
Scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say they exposed large, deep-water commercial fish such as tuna and Amberjack to oil collected from 2010's BP Oil Spill.
They found fish exposed to low concentrations of oil suffered from abnormal heartbeats.
Those exposed to high concentrations had "severely malformed and malfunctioning hearts."
Researchers warn those heart defects could lead to widespread losses of popular deep-sea fish in the gulf.
BP disputed the findings, saying the oil levels used in the study "were rarely seen in the gulf."

Update: Blood Lead Levels -- United States, 1991-1994
Lead is an environmental toxicant that may deleteriously affect the nervous, hematopoietic, endocrine, renal, and reproductive systems (1). Lead exposure in young children is a particular hazard because children absorb lead more readily than do adults and because the developing nervous systems of children are more susceptible to the effects of lead (2). Blood lead levels (BLLs) at least as low as 10 ug/dL can adversely affect the behavior and development of children (2). CDC's National Health and Nutrition Examination surveys (NHANES), an ongoing series of national examinations of the health and nutritional status of the civilian noninstitutionalized population, have been the primary source for monitoring BLLs in the U.S. population. From NHANES II (conducted during 1976-1980) to Phase 1 of NHANES III (conducted during October 1988-September 1991), the geometric mean (GM) BLL for persons aged 1-74 years declined from 12.8 ug/dL to 2.9 ug/dL, and the prevalence of elevated BLLs (BLLs greater than or equal to 10 ug/dL) decreased from 77.8% to 4.4% (3). * This report updates national BLL estimates with data from Phase 2 of NHANES III (conducted during October 1991-September 1994), which indicate that BLLs in the U.S. population aged greater than or equal to 1 year continued to decrease and that BLLs among children aged 1-5 years were more likely to be elevated among those who were poor, non-Hispanic black, living in large metropolitan areas, or living in older housing.
In NHANES III, blacks, Mexican Americans, children aged 2 months-5 years, and persons aged greater than or equal to 60 years were oversampled to increase the reliability of estimates for these groups (4). A household interview and a physical examination were conducted for each survey participant. During the physical examination, 1 mL of whole blood was collected by venipuncture from examinees aged greater than or equal to 1 year. Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry was used to measure BLLs at a detection limit of 1 ug/dL (5); BLLs below the level of detection were assigned a value of 0.7 ug/dL.
In this analysis, income categories were defined using the poverty-income ratio (PIR; the ratio of total family income to the poverty threshold for the year of the interview); low income was defined as PIR less than or equal to 1.300; middle, as PIR 1.301-3.500; and high, as PIR greater than or equal to 3.501. Urban status was based on U.S. Department of Agriculture codes that classify counties by total population and proximity to major metropolitan areas (6 ); the two categories used were metropolitan areas with a population greater than or equal to 1 million and metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas with a population less than 1 million. Data on the age-of-housing variable were collected by self-report using three categories (built before 1946, during 1946-1973, and after 1973); these cutpoints closely correspond to years in which the amount of lead contained in residential paint was altered (2) **. The sample included 13,642 persons; 2392 were children aged 1-5 years. Data for racial/ethnic groups other than non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic white, and Mexican American were too small for reliable estimates. Statistical analyses were performed using Software for Survey Data Analysis, which accounted for the complex sample design. Asymmetric 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the natural logarithmic transformation (7).
During 1991-1994, the overall GM BLL of the U.S. population aged greater than or equal to 1 year was 2.3 ug/dL (Table_1). GM BLLs varied by age and were highest among children aged 1-2 years and persons aged greater than or equal to 50 years. Among those aged greater than or equal to 1 year, approximately 2.2% had BLLs greater than or equal to 10 ug/dL (Table_1). Among those aged 1-5 years, approximately 4.4% had BLLs greater than or equal to 10 ug/dL (Table_1), representing an estimated 930,000 children aged 1-5 years in the United States with BLLs greater than or equal to 10 ug/dL. In addition, among children aged 1-5 years, approximately 1.3% had BLLs greater than or equal to 15 ug/dL, and 0.4% had BLLs greater than or equal to 20 ug/dL.
For children aged 1-5 years, the prevalence of BLLs greater than or equal to 10 ug/dL was higher among those who were non-Hispanic blacks or Mexican Americans, from lower-income families, living in metropolitan areas with a population greater than or equal to 1 million, or living in older housing (Table_2). The differences in risk for an elevated BLL by race/ethnicity, income, and urban status generally persisted across age-of-housing categories. Similarly, the higher risk for an elevated BLL associated with older age of housing generally persisted across race/ethnicity, income, and urban status categories. Therefore, the risk for an elevated BLL was higher among non-Hispanic black children living in housing built before 1946 (21.9%) or built during 1946-1973 (13.7%), among children in low-income households who lived in housing built before 1946 (16.4%), and among children in areas with populations greater than or equal to 1 million who live in housing built before 1946 (11.5%) when compared with children in other categories. Based on a multivariate logistic regression model, non-Hispanic black race/ethnicity, low income, and living in housing built before 1946 were independent predictors of elevated BLLs in children aged 1-5 years. Living in urban areas was not an independent predictor of elevated BLLs when controlling for race/ethnicity, income, and age of housing.
For the total population, GM BLLs decreased by 21.7% from Phase 1 to Phase 2 with minimal variation within age, sex, race/ethnicity, income, age-of-housing, and urban status groups (range: 17.4%-26.4%). Among children aged 1-5 years, the overall absolute decrease in the prevalence of elevated BLLs from Phase 1 to Phase 2 was 4.1 percentage points. The percentage point decrease was generally greater among those groups with higher prevalences of elevated BLLs during Phase 1: children aged 1-2 years (5.2), non-Hispanic black children (7.4), children from low-income families (6.9), children living in areas with a population less than 1 million (5.3), and children living in housing built before 1946 (9.6). Conversely, the percentage decrease of elevated BLLs from Phase 1 to Phase 2 was 48.4% among all children aged 1-5 years and generally was smaller among those groups at highest risk for elevated BLLs.

Editorial Note
Editorial Note: The findings in this analysis of NHANES III data indicate that the GM BLL for the U.S. population aged greater than or equal to 1 year decreased by 22% from Phase 1 to Phase 2, and the prevalence of BLLs greater than or equal to 10 ug/dL decreased by 51% over the same period. However, constraints of the survey design of NHANES III precluded statistical testing for the differences in GM BLLs and the prevalences of elevated BLLs from Phase 1 to Phase 2. The decrease in BLLs observed from Phase 1 to Phase 2 follow even larger decreases from NHANES II (1976-1980) to Phase 1 of NHANES III. Among persons aged 1-74 years, the GM BLL declined 77% from NHANES II to Phase 1 of NHANES III, and the prevalence of BLLs greater than or equal to 10 ug/dL decreased by 94% (3).
The dramatic decline in BLLs in the U.S. population since the late 1970s is probably a direct consequence of the regulatory and voluntary bans enacted during this period on the use of lead in gasoline, household paint, food and drink cans, and plumbing systems (2). The effects of these changes benefited all U.S. population groups studied. In addition, BLLs may have been reduced in some groups as the result of childhood lead poisoning-prevention efforts undertaken by public health agencies, lead paint-abatement programs, and the promulgation of a standard for lead exposure in industry.
Despite the recent and large declines in BLLs, the risk for lead exposure remains disproportionately high for some groups, including children who are poor, non-Hispanic black, Mexican American, living in large metropolitan areas, or living in older housing. Although confidence intervals for elevated BLL prevalence estimates overlapped across age-of-housing and urban status categories for all children aged 1-5 years, the overall direction of the risk differentials is consistent with results from previous years (8). In addition, with the exception of urban status -- which was too broadly defined in this study to reflect gradations of risk associated with residence in a central city versus residence in outlying metropolitan or suburban areas -- each of these factors was an independent contributor to the risk for elevated BLLs among children.
The risk for lead exposure in children is primarily determined by environmental conditions of the child's residence. The most common source for lead exposure for children is lead-based paint that has deteriorated into paint chips and lead dust (2). In the United States, approximately 83% of privately owned housing units and 86% of public housing units built before 1980 contain some lead-based paint (9). In addition, soil and dust contaminated with residual lead fallout from vehicle exhaust contribute to exposure; concentrations of lead in soil and dust are highest in central urban areas (10). For adults, the most common high-dose exposure sources are occupational (1). Other exposure sources for adults and children can include lead dust brought into the home on clothing from workplaces, lead used for some hobbies, lead contained in some "folk" medicines and cosmetics, and lead in plumbing and in crystal and ceramic containers that leaches into water or food (2).
Despite the substantial progress in eliminating sources of lead in the United States, the NHANES data indicate that nearly 1 million children aged 1-5 years had elevated BLLs during 1991-1994. In addition to efforts to reduce or eliminate sources of lead and exposure to lead, screening efforts are necessary for early identification of children with elevated BLLs to enable prompt and appropriate environmental, educational, and medical interventions.
Because the distribution of risk for childhood lead exposure varies widely within the United States, prevention activities must be conducted at the local level and must be appropriate to local conditions. In areas where the risk for elevated BLLs is low, screening efforts should be targeted to children who remain at elevated risk for lead exposure. CDC is developing guidelines to assist state and local health departments in designing screening recommendations appropriate to their jurisdictions.

Hey everyone , my baby is 4 months now and i just started him on solids. The thing is he wants to nurse from me after spoon feeding even if he is completely full!!! I just end up nursing him for a while coz he wont stop screaming like he has starved for days!!! Has he associated feeding to sucking? I refuse to let him cry-it-out. i dont want to get him used to a pacifier (unless i have any other choice). Has any of your babies done this? What shld i do?
baby wants to nurse after spoon-feeding!!
Rice cereal has no fat, no protein....if you feed large amounts of cereal your baby will be totally lacking these nutrients which are vital for growth, brain development, muscle building.....nurse baby first. Solids are basically just for the experience until age 1. Especially cereals.

Proud full-time stepmommy of Gianna Grace who came into this world 3/30/06!!!
Gabriella Diane became my first baby and second daughter on 9/11/12!!!
Jeta....again, solids are unnecessary at this age.
Also, she breastfeeds (new profile or not) and breast milk enzymes break down the cereal so mixing it with breast milk won't help. Solids are just for practice prior to 9-12 months.

No Jeta, just no. Don't give out advice when it is clearly bad.
Babies who are younger than 4-6 months old seldom know how to properly swallow anything other than breast milk or formula and gulping or "inhaling" a bottle with cereal in it may have deadly consequences.
And spoon feeding at this age is pointless.
A big dumb joke to get the ladies all riled up again. Is this you Niqi?!
