Another thanks to Alex for lugging this gem over for the pre-DLD festivities. Shout out to Bryna for the cheesecake! Review from notes.
From the big honkin' magnum it pours out into a snifter fairly still... murky, with a russet tone that becomes sunrise orange at the edges of the rim. A string of pearls cling to the edges.
Mild acetic funk, earthy, wet hay, organic stable aromas.
Flavors of funky apples, vanilla, tart and fruity, almost juicy. Fruit cocktail/Hawaiian Punch impression at one point. Vanilla and a dry, woody aftertaste. The bourbon barrel is well integrated, with hints of vanilla and a spicy nuance.
Smooth and mellow, dry and puckering in the finish. A sense of mild oxidation or age, still this is quite a unique sipper. Thanks again Alex!

1.5L magnum split with alfrantzell, bottle #155.
Appearance: Tawny in color, clear for the first glass but hazier with each subsequent pour. Pours with no head whatsoever - this one is completely still.
Smell: Intense funkiness at first. Cheesy, sweaty, unbridled funk. As the beer breathes and warms up it grows in complexity; woody tannins, earth, yeasty spice and leather meet tart fruit and faint balsamic vinegar.
Taste & mouthfeel: Tart on the palate at first, though not overwhelmingly sour by any means. Leathery, vinous, almost completely dry; a trace of balsamic sweetness is present just enough to add balance. Cherry-like frutiness hits mid-palate along with woody tannins, leading into a dry leathery finish. The lack of carbonation really only enhances this beer's ridiculous drinkability; three glasses in and I wasn't sick of it at all. By the end of the bottle, I wanted more.

Shared this amazing beer with Dyan last night. This stuff isn't cheap (paid $56 for a magnum), but considering the quality, I thought the beer more then worth the price. If I ever see any more of this stuff, I won't hesitate to grab another bottle or two. As already noted by Dyan, this was bottle number 133 (the label indicates this stuff is VERY limited. I believe it).
This beer was completely still, and so understandably had no head retention or lacing to speak of. The color is a bright red amber color, looking very much like the regular good kitty (bon chien). On the nose.... mama mia! This beer is the definition of complex; one of the most amazing beers I have ever smelled. The beer was probably a bit too cold at first (it had been out of the fridge for only 20 minutes when I cracked it open), and the aroma changed significantly over time. In any event, initially I got a sweet tart, bubble gum aroma, with nuances of wine and vanilla.... but as this beer warmed, the funk really kicked into overdrive. In addition to the sweet tart and wine aromas, I started to get a pronounced barnyard aroma, coupled with wet blanket, dead moose and horse sweat. This is a seriously funky beer. On the palate, this beer was every bit as amazing. In addition to the pronounced sweet tart and wine flavors, I also got some watermelon and vanilla. The flavor profile in this beer is huge and intense.... no one is ever going to describe this beer as light and/or watery. Mouthfeel is very similar to the regular bon chien, with a smooth, satin like presence. Very impressive stuff. As for drinkability, I gave the beer a 4, but I think the concept is almost meaningless in a beer like this. After all, it's a 11% abv., and with so much flavor, it's slow going drinking this. On the other hand, I remember when I first poured a glass for Dyan and I, I was trying to think who else I could share this bad boy with today. After all, how could Dyan and I possibly drink an entire magnum of a beer like this? Except guess what... there's none left this morning. We literally couldn't stop drinking it, the beer was that good. So I guess a 4 is a realistic rating for drinkability. Who knows.
This is just fabulous stuff. Highly recommended.

A huge thanks to biggreen for sharing this bottle.
A: Pours a hazy garnet/reddish color. A very minimal, bubbly, white head forms and recedes in a second. Almost no lace. Though the color is very appealing and inviting.
S: Heaven. This is incredible. Tart cherries up front with some vanilla sweetness. Plenty of other fruits. Grape tannins and apple skins. Some oak aromas linger. Awesome.
T: Again, just amazing. Tart cherries, white grape tannins, apples. Sweet vanilla and oak. Mouth watering.
M/D: A medium body and carbonation. Incredible clean and crisp. Very dry. So smooth and easy to drink. I could never get enough of this.
Not like any Bière de Garde I have had. Though that does not matter. This is one incredible beer. I am so excited to be able to try this. I can't recommend this enough. This is more than a beer, this is an experience.

Magnum split with johnmichaelsen last night. John, you're a fine gentleman for sharing this beer with me. Much thanks! Bottle #133, 2007 version, released in 2008
A: Hazy ruby red, completely still with no visible carbonation
S: Incredible. Sweet, tart and complex with spices and a hint of ginger. Mildly oak and tannic astringency. Bourbon character is not very pronounced, though the contrast between the vanilla-like oak character and the tartness is intriguing. Acidity is low with a mild vinegary component. Decidedly funkier than the regular Bon Chien with a clean funk character - some barnyard, some wet blanket. The balance between the flavors is incredible
T: Opens up sour and tart with some vinegar and a good bit of vinous character with a rather big red wine character in sweetness and grape skin flavor. Mild spiciness is present with a hint of ginger. Fairly big in body with a sweet and tart finish. Halfway through the finish (on the first few sips at least), there's an intriguing zing that's a little sweet and intriguing. The oak tannins are present but I don't think I've had a beer that's used a vinous sweetness to balance the tannins quite this way. This beer really opens up as it warms up, with the funky barnyard character really coming through, wonderfully so. Spectacular.
M: Big in body with a rather disappointingly low level of carbonation. More than anything, the lack of carbonation hurts the nose more than anything (and with me having given it a 5, go figure). Excellent finish
D: Exceptional. I drank over 750ml and craved for more. And for a 11% beer, that's ridiculous. Pair this with a good pinot noir and it's truly an inspirational beer experience.

1.5 L bottle 38. 2007 Vintage. Pours sun-kissed dark orange, nearly copper, with no head or visible carbonation - still.
The aroma is sweet and of plums, grapes, and berries with lactic character. Some oak and vanilla notes are present, and the bourbon character is subtle. After the beer warmed up a bit the bourbon was more apparent, but you might not even notice it if you aren't paying attention. Tannins and earthy notes accompany pungent and musty acetic acid.
The flavor is sweet with a lactic tanginess. The dark fruits that were present in the nose are also in the flavor: berries, plums, and grapes. The bourbon is a bit more noticeable in the flavor, but it's still subtle. Some barnyard mustiness is evident and the sour and tart character are at a medium level. The alcohol is very well hidden. Left to my own devices, I might have finished the magnum myself. The low carbonation makes this incredibly drinkable.

On tap for the 2012 Peter Reeves Memorial Sourfest at Churchill's Pub & Grille in San Marcos, CA.
Pours a slightly murky brown with a foamy tan head that fades to nothing. No lacing on the drink down. Smell is sour and tart with malt, wine, bourbon, and wood aromas. Taste is much the same with a slightly funky finish. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that is tasty and pretty interesting.

Magnum shared by ygtbsm. Thanks again Brad! Sampled alongside the Cabernet and Pinot Noir versions.
Similar to others in the series. Pours an opaque dark copper color that's completely still with no head or lace.
Smokier than others with a stronger barrel presence. Lots of toasted oak and wood with a very prominent boozy bourbon character and a subtle hint of vanilla.
Sweet with some bourbon but not as much as the aroma suggested or I had hoped for. Still/flat with no carbonation, just vinous with subtle dry oak, vanilla and boozy heat. This beer is all about the barrel making it one dimensional and pedestrian. The ABV is well masked at 11% so the drinkability is good but I don't understand the high ratings here. This was the worst of the three that we sampled and a below average bourbon barrel aged beer.

Sampled from a magnum brought to the last Woodshop Tasting by WeeHeavySD, thanks for sharing this Jon, Bottle #97, reviewed from notes on my cellular phone, drank out of my New Belgium snifter, color is a dark red on the verge of being copper, small 1/4 inch bubbly vanilla colored head that quickly disappears, aroma was fantastic and had a big bourbon presence, sour grapes and cherries, funk, caramel, and oak, flavor is mostly bourbon at first but the tart really hits you after a few seconds, complex fruits make up the middle, finish has a light bourbon taste carrying over but tart cherries and pears dominate it, somehow this remains smooth and all works together very well, great tasting beer overall, mouthfeel is tart, slightly hot, funky, and fruity, lower level of carbonation, thick full body, you can tell is what unblended just by looking at it too, could have drank about half that big magnum probably, alcohol is hidden well, thickness is the only complaint, other than that it is very smooth and tasty, nice beer to end my time at the tasting with, this stuff is expensive at sixty-five dollars for this bottle but worth it for a special occasion, this is the best beer from this brewery I have had to date, this even outdid the Pinot Noir version of the Grand Cru, would like to have again some time, recommended

2007 Vintage. Can't remember the bottle number, but it was in the double digits somewhere. Purchased at West Lakeview Liquors.
Going to recycle some bits from previous ASBC Grand Cru reviews, as the look and feel of these beers tends to be the same. Shared at the pre-DLD tasting at Dave & Joe's place. Served in a Schlafly taster glass.
A - Looks like typical Bon-Chien. Pours mostly still with a few big bubbles that quickly dissipate. Slightly hazed orange-red cider color. Seems to be less sediment in this one.
S - Vinous fruits, light funk and lactic notes, spicy wood, vanilla, light overt bourbon flavor. Shockingly little alcohol flavor is present.
T - Spicy wood, vanilla, vinous fruits, a kiss of bourbon, light funkiness, tannic barrel character, slight oxidation and sherry notes, and a bit of lactic sourness. Nary a trace of the 11% ABV on the label - it's actually quite mellow.
M - Incredibly well-hidden booze, with only minimal heat. Medium body, red wine-like texture with some tannic dryness in the finish, and a bit of stickiness as well. Obviously there is no carbonation.
D - With no carbonation, and incredibly well-hidden booze these magnums are a hospital trip waiting to happen. I had a few pours throughout the night, but it's probably for the best that I brought it to a larger tasting. Didn't feel quite as drinkable as the Cabernet, but that might have been due to mood or context more than objective measures.

Magnum #70 split 8 or 9 ways at Cask Republic in New Haven. Big shout-out to JAHMUR for organizing this.
A: Hazy deep orange body with just a thin whisp of short-lived tan foam. Pretty still, but acceptable for what it is.
S: Harshly acidic, with nothing but raw sourness apparent at first. An interesting mixture of lactic, citric, and acetic tartness, this nose just piles sourness on top of sourness. Vanilla and bourbon are noticeable, but distant. This just smells sour, and I'm a fan.
T: Sweet vanilla and cherry, some malt, and lots of fruity sourness. Red wine vinegar, sour pineapple, sour cherry, butterscotch, and lemon/lime. Some booze on the finish, but not too much. Tasty, but not mind-blowing - a bit too acetic.
M: Slick, smooth full body with no carbonation whatsoever. Feels like a thick spirit, which is kinda cool.
O: I'm really glad I got a chance to try this enormous bottle of enormous beer, but I certainly wouldn't pay the bar price for it again - each ~7oz share of the magnum came out to $17. This was a very good beer, but by no means a phenomenal one. I won't be seeking out the other barrel versions, just since my beer budget is better directed elsewhere.

4.35/5 rDev +0.9%
Pours hazy light red, hints of brown, no real head, just a white ring of bottles round the outside.
Nose is sweet, fruity, and softly tart, notes of berries and red fruit (strawberries, cherries) alongside a soft, almost lactic sourness with just a bit of an acetic bite. A very subtle bourbon note that comes through more as hints of soft, oaky vanilla.
Taste is sour cherries, vinous, an understated note of vanilla and oak bourbon peeks through, but never asserts itself clearly. Sourness is light and mild, soft - clean, light notes of vinegar and acidic astringency. The fruity notes - cherry, currant, strawberry - are the star in this one, with the smooth wood softening the tartness and letting the fruit notes shine through. Sophisticated, no hint of alcohol.
Light in body, crisply carbonated. Really, the bourbon is hinted at rather than up front, and tasting this side by side with the Pinot Noir version, the differences are not profound.

HUGE, huge shoutout to Kkipple for sharing this monster of a bottle.
Appearance: The bottle itself is just an enormous thing of beauty. The size is breathtaking, it dominates everything else at the table. Pour is a russet-mahogany-amber that is slightly murky, a touch of lacing.
Smell: Earthy barnyard notes of wet hay, tart apples, currants, blackberries, raspberries, dark cherries, brandy and bourbon along with some rich cheese and burgundy red wine notes. Very complex.
Taste: Similar to the nose, very earthy with wet hay, tart apples, vanilla, balsamic vinegar, bourbon barrel, oak, vanilla, leather and spice
Mouthfeel: Not very carbonated but it doesn't detract, very soft
Overall: Very drinkable, a tasty beer that was fun to split. The 11% ABV sneaks up on you from the enormous bottle. Preferable to the regular Bon-Chien.

Tonight the wolves did a lot right. They shot the ball at about 50%, made three point shots, played solid defense without fouling and crashed the boards with authority. Even with spotty free throw shooting this was enough to get the wolves, and their fan base, a much needed win.
The truth is that this Minnesota Timberwolves team will never be a lock down, Thibideauian defensive squad. They will not win games by shutting teams down, but I do believe they have the capability to be a good defensive team. Tonight they flexed there defensive muscles a bit more against the Dallas Mavericks. Clearly they didn't dominate defensively, Dallas scored 106 points, but they limited the defensive lapses that happen in previous games.
Another one of the wolves deficiencies of late (one that seems very surprising) was their rebounding efficiency. Being a team that hasn't shot the ball all that well, and having the rebounding duo of the "bruise brothers" Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic, you would think that the wolves team would have higher rebounding statistics as a team. So far that hasn't been the case at all. Tonight we saw a different team on the boards. Pek and Kevin were relentless and newcomer Luc Richard Mbah a Moute came down with 7 in 26 minutes.
The fact that Luc Richard Mbah a Moute recorded 26 minutes tonight is evidence of how much of Rick Adelman's focus tonight was on being more physical. Luc played alright for his first game as a wolf. He had a nice look out there with his length and effort. Get him on the court and he's going to hound opposing scorers and work on the glass. Tonight, he even showed some nice moves offensively. Nothing flashy of course but he looked good.
Of course the main reason the wolves one tonight was their shot making. They got out to a slow start but caught on at the end. All five starters scored in double figures and the big three scorers for the wolves (Pek and the Kevins) all scored over twenty points. This is an ideal offensive out put for an NBA team. If the starters can get close to this production on a nightly basis the wolves could be okay with having a lack of offensive fire power on the bench (thankfully however Chase Budinger is returning to help in that catagory as well).
Pekovic's play was definitely the alpha dog today. He took control early and made it difficult for Dallas. I was thrilled to finally see Pek put up one of his uber efficient games in the post.
Side note: it seems to me that Pekovic has seen way more touches of the ball outside of the low post. The Adelmanian offense gets the bigs on the elbow and in the high post and I think Pek has been trying to adapt to that a bit. Of course, it's good to see the wolves getting deeper into playing Adelmanian offense, sometimes the fans just want to see what works. Run the Pek and Roll and let him seal the crap out of dudes under the basket and get buckets!
Anyways ... It was a good win for the wolves... ahh fresh air...finally.
To me it looks like this team could take off at any moment. The team is getting their stuff together, and with health and bringing new addition Luc up to speed, look out western conference! The pack is on the run!

And yet, MLB still can't quite get the Midsummer Classic right, angering many fans.
Whether it is how the game is played or how the teams are constructed, fans either love the game or they hate it and often they do both.
On the next few pages we will take a look at why MLB's showcase of its best players is still the best, and the worst, All-Star game.

Giving and Volunteering
Service to community and to others are critical ways individuals give back to community. Acts of service including formal volunteering through and organization, and less formal ways of helping others, such as working with neighbors to fix a community problem. Another way many people choose to give back is through charitable giving and philanthropy.
NCoC believes to address community issues and challenges in any area, research must be collected, discussion must occur, and solutions must be proposed. Here, you can see research, discussion, and solutions associated with giving and volunteering. This is meant to help explain and animate that focus area, as well as facilitate the process of moving from information to action within it.

I was doing some homework for my epidemiology class and I came across something that reminded me about a story I had heard on NPR about delayed cord clamping at birth. The story said that the average time form birth to cord cutting was 17 seconds. Wow.
One of the doctors says that really it's only done this way because the hospital staff have better things to get on to with the baby. What they found out was if they waited, just a bit longer (94 seconds) that the baby had more blood and tended to have less anemia later in the first year. This increased iron can have many benefits, including cognitive benefits. Dr. Fogelson, from Academic OB/GYN Blog, says that there is benefit to this and he's not sure why it isn't standard yet.
Midwifery advocates have long said that the cord should not be clamped right away. Some say wait a minute. Some say that you should wait until the cord stops pulsing on its own. Others say you should wait for the birth of the placenta. My midwife preferred leaving the cord attached until baby was at least out and breathing well, saying that as long as the cord was attached baby would be safer.
What were you told about cord clamping? What do you want to do at this birth? Is it in your birth plan? What does your practitioner say about it?

- September 10, 2009 at 12:41 pm(1) Carrie Swartz says:
Actually, the literature does not support delayed cord clamping and the "science" does not say it's because "hospital staff have better things to get on to with the baby". Certainly, there are examples of medical reasons to expedite cord clamping (preterm baby, risk for meconium aspiration, depressed baby, etc), but even in healthy births, the risks of delayed (longer than one minute) cord clamping in the US appears to be greater than the benefits. (see the Cochrane review "Effect of timing of umbilical cord clamping of term infants on maternal and neonatal outcomes" April 2008). The biggest concerns are polycythemia and jaundice in the newborns and hemorrhage in the mothers, potentiallly leading to ceomplicated and dangerous treatments. Additionally, because of the design of the maternal-fetal-placental system, there is no protection against baby's blood flowing back into the placenta, potentially causing severe anemia. In my experience as an obstetrician, it is precisely my concern for mom and baby that leads me to naturally wait about a minute to clamp the cord. By then, about 90% of the time, the cord will have stopped pulsing. I hope we can continue to educate more women and their providers on this issue to allow a discussion as to what will be best for each individual birth.
- September 10, 2009 at 1:12 pm(2) pregnancy says:
Thanks for your thoughtful comments from a doctor in the trenches! I've added the reference and the exact times to the post. It sounds like your idea of a normal time limit is more in line with the study recommendations. It may not be like this everywhere and the point of having this discussion with your practitioner is a valid one. In fact, there are times that one might need to cut the cord well before 94 seconds. But knowing when that is and what the patient preference is gives the practitioner a chance to consider their position as well as educate if there is a differing of opinion.
Thanks again!
- January 21, 2010 at 12:03 am(3) Danae Steele, M.D. says:
Carrie, I am an MFM, and I beg to differ. There is actually a growing body of lit which shows significant benefits, particularly to preterm babies of delayed cord clamping. The biggest benefit is a huge (may be as much as >50%) reduction in risk of IVH in preterm infants, with as little as 30 seconds delay of clamping cord. That is huge!!! That has the potential of improving outcomes for development as much as steroids improved outcomes for lungs. And babies do NOT "bleed into the placenta" except in extreme cases like abruptions. I was taught that myth in residency as well, and it turns out that it is nothing more than a myth.
- March 9, 2010 at 9:49 am(4) Michelle says:
Yes I support Danae's statement. Carrie's statement is another example of how "random controlled trails" can be used to support bad practice. Furthermore 90% of cords will NOT stop pulsating at 1 minute. And there is NO clinical trials that prove that there is any increase in "pathological" Jaundice or polythycemia, this too is a myth. And the woman is more likely to bleed if you leave the placenta engorged with blood meant for the baby!
WARNING! Doctors often make statements, and just because they are a doctor everyone thinks it must be correct.
- March 23, 2010 at 9:16 pm(5) Concerned Pedi TX says:
In response to the statement that there is no evidence of pathological cause of polycythemia and jaundice, I beg to differ. I am a pediatrician and work as a hospitalist with neonatalogists and I just recently had an infant who was full term and was delivered by a midwife and the infant had delayed cord clamping. Immediately after birth, infant began having problems and was found to be polycythemic and was admitted to the NICU. It was a very scary situation and with immediate intervention we were able to stabilize the infant and prevent any complications. However this required an IV and for mom to hold off on breastfeeding which can be still traumatic for the family. In fact, there are more risks involved including developing jaundice, hyperviscosity of the blood which can lead to hypoperfusion of organs which could lead to complications such as necrotizing enterocolitis, renal dysfunction and hypoglycemia all of which can be fatal. Infants that have severe polycythemia may need partial exchange transfusions to prevent these complications. Please do not pass around information that without complete medical knowledge may affect an infant's life. All parents need to do adequate research and consult medical personnel before making such decisions. Get educated and the knowledge to make the right informed decisions first!
- April 25, 2010 at 3:56 am(6) Jenn aka Future Mama says:
I think many studies on both sides are controlled to come with certain outcomes… Sorry for my pessimistic stance.
BUT, my OB says she'll wait about a minute, which I think it a nice in the middle time for me, and I don't mind it being not "94 seconds." My husband is also gonna cut the cord.. I kinda am more excited about that than stressing about the time limit.
- April 25, 2010 at 6:51 am(7) Robin Elise Weiss, LCCE says:
Hey Jenn,
The good news is that delayed is defined as 30 seconds, which is nearly double the time that the one doctor was talking about as average in their area (17 seconds). So at a minute you're all good according to the research. I think the point is merely that doctors and midwives need to stop and think before they cut the cord immediately. One of the benefits of having them stop and think about it, is that it allows things like husbands cutting the cord! See, it's a win-win-win!
- April 29, 2010 at 10:47 pm(8) Erin says:
Where is the evidence that shows immediate cord clamping is safe and/or benefical? It is an intervention that was put into practice without any evidence to back it up. Now all these years we need proof that it's safe to delay cord clamping? Where was the evidence to cut it early? There was none and there still is none. It seems backwards to look for evidence to do the physiological norm instead of looking for evidence to inervene.
To answer your question, I requested delayed cord clamping and my OB told me it was dangerous. I decided not to have a hospital birth. Instead, I had a home birth and did not clamp the cord until over an hour after my baby was born.
- May 18, 2010 at 11:32 pm(9) Susan says:
I appreciate all these comments and ask only that we each acknowledge that just because someone comes to a different conclusion than ourselves, doesn't mean they don't know what they're talking about or didn't do their research.
Pretty much all the research I've been doing finds a clear benefit in iron stores at 3 or 6 months with no complications.
I was just looking at a meta-analysis from 2007 by Eileen K. Hutton and Emam S. Hassan that backs this up pretty convincingly. Iron stores were better and there was no increased risk of jaundice, respiratory distress, or NICU admissions in the groups with delayed cord clamping (generally 2-3 minutes) in term infants of healthy mothers. They did have a significantly higher risk of polycythemia, but no infants in the study had any of the complications normally associated with polycythemia.
Unfortunately, though this analysis looked at almost 2000 infants, most of the studies had fewer than 100 total. Clearly more research needs to be done, but going on what we've got now, delayed clamping seems like the best choice.
- June 15, 2010 at 11:25 pm(10) Michelle K says:
I'm all for delayed cord clamping/cutting, and I don't mean by just 90 seconds. We delivered our son out-of-hospital and did not cut the cord until over one hour after the birth. He had a tremendous amount of meconium present as well, yet the midwives were able to aspirate him and still leave the cord intact.
He was at birth, and remains, healthy, robust and thriving. I'm thrilled that he received the benefit of his own cord blood and stem cells and I won't hesitate to take the same path with any other children we may have in the future.
- July 15, 2010 at 5:35 pm(11) David J R Hutchon says:
I am a very recently retired UK obstetrician and realised the folly of eraly cord calmping about five years ago. I certainly agree that until there is evidence that clamping the cord before the placental circulation ceases (about 3 -5 minutes) it is virtually unethical to do. However it is common practice here in the UK as much as in the USA. However it is not recommended by the Reusucitation Council (UK) NLS which in their bood "Resuscitation at birth" Newborn Life Support – Provider Course Manual 2nd edition ISBN1-1-903812-16-X they state on page 4 Chapter 4 as follows
The cord can usually be clamped about a minte after birth, the baby being kept at approximately the same level as the mother's uterus until tis time. Very early clamping, and clamping while the baby is held above the level of the placenta can cause hypovolaemia. and this statement is referenced to Moss AJ et al Placental transfusion : early vs late clamping of the umbilcal cord.Pediatr 1967,40. 109-126
and Yao AC et al Effect of gravity on placetnal transfusion. Lancet 1969;ii 505-508
Chapter 4 states that the objective of the chapter is "This chapter revises the principles of thermal managment and considers the needs of babies within the first few hours of life. It also reviews the immediate management of newborn babies including the majority who require no resuscitation."
Note the statement "including the majority" so the bit about waitn a minute also applies to babies who need resuscitation. This is the theory of practice in the UK at most practitioners do not know about it. However UK and US practice are closely linked and if the UK reuscitation council think delaying a minute is beneficial then I would expect the US to agree.
Of course there is a huge lot more to support delayed cord clamping but this above is a very good start for anyone wondering what is best. Most babies are fine whatever you do but there are a small number of babies that will die from mmediate cord clamping. ie those babies with a cord around the neck, venous congestion, placental engorgement and fetal blood hypovolaemia.

@Concerned Pedi TX;
One case, in which there is no evidence that the delayed cord clamping caused the problem is not "evidence". Polycythemia happens in babies with immediate cord clamping -in fact some list immediate cord clamping as a CAUSE of pathological polycythemia, so its not diagnostic that it happened in a baby with physiological cord clamping. The plural of "anecdote" is not "fact"
There are literally dozens of studies which show NO increase in anemia, in fact some show a decrease, of jaundice. And there are a few which show an increase in the need for phototherapy
Yes there are studies which show an increase in polycythemia, but not pathological polycythemia. Which suggests that there is just a lack of understanding of what is normal.
Late vs Early Clamping of the Umbilical Cord in Full-term Neonates
Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Controlled Trials
Eileen K. Hutton, PhD; Eman S. Hassan, MBBCh
"Conclusions Delaying clamping of the umbilical cord in full-term neonates for a minimum of 2 minutes following birth is beneficial to the newborn, extending into infancy. Although there was an increase in polycythemia among infants in whom cord clamping was delayed, this condition appeared to be benign."
the early effects of delayed cord clamping in term
infants born to libyan mothers
Musbah Omar Emhamed1, Patrick van Rheenen2, Bernard J Brabin1,2
"No significant differences were found inclinical jaundice or plethora. Surprisingly, blood analysis showed that two babiesin the early clamping group had total serumbilirubin levels (>15mg/dL) that ne-cessitated phototherapy. There were no babies in the late clamping group whorequired phototherapy. Three infants in the delayed clamping group had polycy-thaemia without symptoms, for which no partial exchange transfusion was neces-sary. Delaying cord clamping until the pulsations stop increases the red cell massin term infants. It is a safe, simple and low cost delivery procedure that should beincorporated in integrated programmes aimed at reducing iron deficiency anae-mia in infants in developing countries."
The Effect of Timing of Cord Clamping on Neonatal Venous Hematocrit Values and Clinical Outcome at Term: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
José M. Ceriani Cernadas, MDa, Guillermo Carroli, MDb, Liliana Pellegrini, MDc, Lucas Otaño, MDd, Marina Ferreira, MDa, Carolina Ricci, MDa, Ofelia Casas, MDc, Daniel Giordanob, Jaime Lardizábal, MDb
"layed cord clamping at birth increases neonatal mean venous hematocrit within a physiologic range. Neither significant differences nor harmful effects were observed among groups. Furthermore, this intervention seems to reduce the rate of neonatal anemia. This practice has been shown to be safe and should be implemented to increase neonatal iron storage at birth."
Neonatal plethora, polycythemia, and hyperviscosity
In a review of the literature, I found three gravity-drained cases of plethora clamped at 1 to 5 minutes that were cured by phlebotomy." Uterine contraction was not documented. It is unclear whether the infants' excess blood would have flowed back into the cord during uterine diastole if the clamp had been quickly removed.3
Polycythemia (hematocrit >65%) is often produced by late clamping. Hemoconcentration normally follows placental transfusion. It also occurs during normal labor. Serum albumin and colloid osmotic pressure (COP) rise with the hematocrit. Pulmonary function requires a COP high enough to prevent pulmonary edema. At elective cesarean section with rapid cord clamping, this COP increase does not occur. Not surprisingly, wet lungs occasionally result.
Oligohydramnios results in vein compression, causing increased capillary pressure in the placenta, which leads to fluid loss, dehydration, and hemoconcentration. Amnioinfusion may correct this; otherwise, rapid fluid replacement at birth is needed to amend this pathologic polycythemia.
The multifaceted (and uncertain) hyperviscosity syndrome11-13 is based on the premise that increased viscosity (high hematocrit) results in decreased tissue perfusion.2,11 However, factors other than viscosity also affect tissue perfusion.
According to Poiseuille's law, the blood flow through vessels (liquid flow through tubes) is inversely proportional to the length of the tube and the viscosity of the liquid, and directly proportional to the pressure differential and to the fourth power of the radius of the tube. Therefore, if the radius is reduced from 3 to 2, flow is reduced 81:16, or by four-fifths; whereas, if viscosity is increased from 2 to 3, flow is reduced 1/2:1/3, or by one-sixth. Clearly, vasoconstriction reduces blood flow much more than a similar change in viscosity.
In clinical practice, late clamping produces a high hematocrit, 2, 9,14,15 high blood pressure, and vasodilatation to accommodate the large volume of blood.9,16 These latter two factors should increase tissue perfusion. In searching the literature, I was unable to find any documented case of hyperviscosity syndrome in which the cord was clamped late," although I did find many documented cases of late clamping involving normal newborns with high hematocrits. 2,9,15,17,18
There are, however, many documented cases of hyperviscosity syndrome with high hematocrits (e.g., cases involving gestational diabetes or postmaturity) in which the cord was clamped before physiologic cord closure, thus creating low blood volume, low blood pressure,16 and vasoconstriction coupled with the polycythemia.11 The inadequate tissue perfusion is blamed on the high hematocrit, when the root cause of the hyperviscosity syndrome is hypovolemic vasoconstriction enforced to the fourth power.

It would be hard to top "Mystic's" research in the Aug comment, and I won't even try. I just want to say that other mammals do not seem to be in a great hurry (with lots of staff handy) to sever the cord. Could nature really be so stupid as to leave human beings so vulnerable to problems from a cord closing itself, as nature would have it do?
Most new mammal mothers seem to be concerned with stimulating the newborn with touch (licking etc) and keeping them warm and safe. The placenta and cord are left for a bit later. Millions of years of evolution can't be totally wrong.
I guess some modern ob practices might throw a monkey wrench in this nice pattern. Such as the shot of oxytocin given in the thigh as the mother births. Some say the rush is on then to prevent the placenta from getting trapped in the uterus by the artificially strong contractions. Maybe this active management of 3rd stage labor needs to be rethought or redesigned with the delayed clamping in mind. Could that shot wait, or be optional (used only if obviously needed)?
For the record, I have had 2 home births, to avoid a lot of these well-meaning, but unproven medical practices from being practiced on me and my children.
I keep thinking of all the things in medicine that were once considered normal and safe, but they have been quiety phased out. Progress does not happen if questions are not asked and and research not done, and training not changed. Too often, a long process.
- January 12, 2011 at 1:51 pm(14) Nicholas Fogelson, MD says:
I have written on this topic a bit, and recently have been preparing a Grand Rounds for my hospital's Peds and OB departments. In this research, I have found no literature that suggested that infants with delayed cord clamping have a higher incidence of pathology polycythemia. There are a few non-blinded studies that suggested higher rates of bili-light use in delayed clamp infants, but given that the pediatricians knew about this intervention the data are somewhat biased.
One can argue all the data, but at the onset one has to accept that the natural course of events is that the cord will not get cut and clamped until long after delivery, resulting in a substantial transfusion of blood from the placenta to the infant (20-40 cc/kg in most studies). Choosing to immediately clamp the cord to avoid any particular outcome is a deliberate fetal phlebotomy done for that purpose. In those terms, few would argue that this was the right thing to do without clear evidence to show it was correct. Despite this, people claim that immediate clamping is the standard and argue that the data for delayed clamping is inadequate. This is not rational.
Delayed clamping has clear effects on fetal iron stores, total red blood cell volume, and postpartum fetal blood pressures. Preterm infants with delayed cord clamps have shown a substantial decrease in intraventricular hemmorhage and sepsis. There are also theoretical benefits in increasing the number of pluripotent stem cells available to the fetus in early development, as well, as immediate cord clamping robs the infant of as much 40% of its total pluripotent stem cell population.

The comment above mine demonstrates one of the real problems the natural birth community has in promoting the issues they feel are important, and this problem is the crazies.
Donna Young's letter to the President is a bizarre document, almost a manic rant, that no person in power would ever choose to read. Its formatting and language is so strange that it makes Ms Young look just nuts. While I agree that delayed clamping is the better way to go, taking it so far as to say that doctors that immediately clamp an umbilical cord should be brought up on criminal charges is leaving reason for insanity.
Such rhetoric does no one any good, and hurts Ms Young's underlying cause.

The first comment on this post (by Carrie Swartz) refered to the Cochrane review Effect of timing of umbilical cord clamping of term infants on maternal and neonatal outcomes April 2008) This review does NOT show that, "the risks of delayed (longer than one minute) cord clamping in the US appears to be greater than the benefits" as Ms. Swartz claims. The review in fact concludes with the author's statement:
"In this review delaying clamping of the cord for at least two to three minutes seems not to increase the risk of postpartum haemorrhage. In addition, late cord clamping can be advantageous for the infant by improving iron status which may be of clinical value particularly in infants where access to good nutrition is poor, although delaying clamping increases the risk of jaundice requiring phototherapy."
- August 7, 2012 at 9:52 pm(18) Wrylilt says:
I had delayed cord clamping with both my children, and a drug free birth. Both fed really well almost straight away and had great apgars and no health issues at all.
And as for the blood "flowing back into the placenta". Heard of wharton's jelly? It's the stuff that dilates the placenta so nothing can flow back up it. And have you ever seen the difference between a DCC and ECC placenta? The DCC placenta has almost no blood in it.
- October 24, 2012 at 1:40 pm(19) Donna Young says:
No. 14 has comments of Dr. Nicholas S. Fogelson, MD, as well as No. 15. In response to No. 15, in reference to myself, Donna Young, and my Open Letter to the current U.S.A. President at http://www.medical-truths.com . . . I admit, sure the writing is not perfect, but the medical reviewed articles and given as qualifying references are perfect for the common folk to know their child will be weakened and put in some testable internal danger if they trust their medical business person to stop the natural inflow of placenta blood. If the common folk are given to reason or logic, the hasty cord clamping is not a logical afterbirth care and not seen done to animal births, why not the higher professional trained persons?
This placenta blood is naturally intended to be inside the baby rather than to be medically taken for science research projects or for use in transfusions to anothers need. This placenta blood should not go to private or public cord blood banks when it should legally be inside the owner-infant. The duty is the legal protection to the infant-citizen – do no harm or the risk of it, and this is a duty when safer options are a choice for the afterbirth care to the baby or babies.
What is Delayed cord clamping compared to no cord clamping, whatsoever?
Dr. Fogelson admits delayed clamping is the better choice to go for the afterbirth care of the newborn citizen-child. Exactly what time period does he think is sufficiently delayed that will not weaken the baby whose umbilical cord is being clamped, or tied off, or finger-squeezed off? If he states a time period of no cord compression for five minutes or until the placenta is birthed there is no blood left in the placenta for anothers use.
Therefore, I suspect that delayed clamping has a concealed motive of yet seeking and sharing trapped blood in the placenta that otherwise should or ought to have been inside the baby.

Though 20th Century Fox has not offically said anything, there are rumblings that they might postpone the release of their big summer comedy film Neighborhood Watch because of, what one would call, unfortunate timing; that being the Treyvon Martin shooting, which is still very much a very hot, intensely controversial issue.
The $60 million film, co-written by Seth Rogen and starring Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, Vince Vaughn and British comedian and director Richard Ayoade in his American screen debut, is stlll, to date, scheduled to be released on July 27th. However there are rumors that if the Martin case drags on and continues to be a hot button issue during the summer, which it well most likely could be, the studio might be forced to pull the film from release and wait until a later and much safer time.
Some film insiders argue that since the film is a comedy and that the the bad guys in the film turn out to be aliens intent on taking over the world, the studio will still go ahead and release the film as planned.
One thing for sure though is that they will most likely have to re-edit or come out with a completely new trailer to replace the old one below. In light of recent events, it's pretty creepy.
Donella | April 10, 2012 3:37 PM
Release it. The world should have a good look at the total ignorance that built Hollywood.
Norman Kelley | April 8, 2012 12:33 PM
Maybe this film should be released and let it follow its natural course. Perhaps humor -- satire, in this case -- will make people see the ridiculous length that some people have gone to in regarding taking the law into their own hands. On the other hand, it may desensitize people to the seriousness of the "Stand Your Ground" law or the doctrine can morph into something dangerous, as the Zimmerman-Martin shooting.
People have a right to associate and protect themselves, but you have be aware when such activity slides into vigilantism and using the law as cover for egregious behavior.
Miles Ellison | April 7, 2012 10:50 PM
The timing is unfortunate, but what's more unfortunate is the fact that most of these people haven't been funny for a long time.
Talie | April 7, 2012 10:19 PM
I hate to be insensitive, but I highly doubt Trayvon will still be national news by the time this is released. The American public has a notoriously short attention span--remember Caylee Anthony? Yeah...
James Evans From The Cabrini-Green Projects | April 7, 2012 6:44 PM
I say release it, why not. One thing this whole BK commercial with Mary J has confirmed for me, is that we are getting too dang sensitive. I say why NOT be reminded of the ills in this world? The reason we're moving backwards as a people right now is because we have forgotten our very recent struggles and victories.
Maggie | April 7, 2012 5:11 PM
It's fascinating to see how hip-hop has been co-opted over the years. It's also fascinating how this movie reinforces the accepted narrative on the role of law enforcement in society. I can see why this movie should be delayed, but I think it should still come out so people can see how our current society encourages propaganda like this film.
Huey | April 7, 2012 11:28 AM
This is a pretty funny trailer. Especially that last little bit. But, I think it appropriate to shelve or postpone in light of the Trayvon case. No one can really laugh at the subject matter in light of the recent tragic events. A film that was meant to be lighthearted and funny will seem insensitive and divisive if released at the wrong time.

The Top 40 pop charts of the early '80s pretty much reserved a weekly spot or two for American pop duo Hall & Oates, and an examination of the pair's finest songs of the era quickly reveals why. A savvy and somewhat calculated but ultimately convincing blend of rock, pop, soul and dance music fueled the Hall & Oates engine with an impressive consistency, and '80s music listeners were the beneficiaries. Though some tunes struck some contemporary critics with a sense of novelty, the quality of the duo's songwriting has stood the test of time remarkably well. Check out this chronological look at 10 Hall & Oates '80s gems.
1. "Kiss on My List"
Aside from this song's status as the duo's first No. 1 pop hit, this tune must be mentioned in any serious discussion of the greatest moments enjoyed by Hall & Oates during the '80s. It's the first time, after all, that the duo took its prime elements of blue-eyed soul, folk, pop and rock and unified them for a singular hitmaking purpose. The versatility of the solid backing band working behind the scenes also played a major role in making this song palatable for everyone from new wave to disco music fans. It was simply pop music too infectious to ignore, aided by great timing.
2. "Every Time You Go Away"
Although it didn't become a hit until 1985, when British singer Paul Young took it to No. 1 on the pop charts, this rousing ballad written by Daryl Hall actually appeared initially on Hall & Oates' 1980 album Voices. I'm not sure what transpired in the five years between those releases or what kind of freshness Young may have brought to the composition, but no matter who sings it, this tune is a catchy, haunting nugget of heartbreak that cuts across genres uncannily, to an extent only Hall & Oates seem to be capable of.
3. "You Make My Dreams"
4. "Private Eyes"
This track from the duo's 1981 album of the same name ushered Hall & Oates into the video age with a goofy flourish. Complete with trenchcoats, magnifying glass and those so-atmospheric hand claps, the clip for this song did everything possible to detract from the music's quality. But luckily, this effort from Hall and frequent songwriting partners Sara and Janna Allen is more than strong enough to melt through the cheese. As is common with great songs, the verses and bridge actually trump the well-known chorus.
5. "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)"
This unforgettable and very worthy No. 1 pop hit stands as one of the duo's all-time grooviest and funkiest songs, propelled by a wonderfully spare but tasty guitar lick and an infectious rhythm, drum machines notwithstanding. It's also one of Hall & Oates' recordings that sounds the most dated (read: saxophone), but even that doesn't blur the majesty of the tune from a songcraft standpoint. And even though John Oates' mustache had begun to need its own zip code at this point of the duo's career, it's still all about the music.
6. "Did It in a Minute"
This criminally overlooked pop/rock gem from Private Eyes displays some of the duo's utterly intriguing versatility in full bloom. There's almost a slightly paranoid feel to the song's loopy pre-chorus, but then the patented Hall & Oates melodic kick takes over for another transcendent pop moment. Unfortunately, this track is not included on the duo's most well-known compilation, the aptly titled if incomplete Rock 'n Soul, Pt. 1: Greatest Hits, but it damn well should have been.
7. "Maneater"
For some reason I always think of that lost '80s TV classic Manimal when this song surfaces in my brain, but there's no doubt it's a remnant of the decade that still brings consistent pleasure. Along with U2's "With or Without You," this tune admirably vies for the title of rock's most signature bass line, and that groove has the power to sustain an entire song of overwrought romantic metaphor. There's nothing all that permanent going on here, but for a certain guilty pleasure jackpot, just sing, "Oh-oh, here she comes" anytime, anywhere.
8. "One on One"
9. "Say It Isn't So"
10. "Out of Touch"
Eerily fortune-telling title and all, this latter-day Hall & Oates hit certainly has its moments, but it also conveys a subtle sense of resignation that time was indeed running out on the pop duo's years in the spotlight. Of course, overly layered production helped bring this transition forward perhaps more quickly than necessary, as the R&B and soul flavor of the pair's early-'80s hits had evaporated into a loping, generalized and somewhat bland pop style. The songwriting remains fairly strong here, but I guess the magical window Hall & Oates had occupied so gracefully before had by now nearly slammed shut.

Krugman Bashes Obama: 'Who is This Bland Timid Guy Who Doesn't Stand for Anything?'
On the same day a new poll found only 37 percent of liberals strongly approve of Barack Obama's performance as president, the New York Times's Paul Krugman bashed America's chief executive for being missing in action.
"What have they done with President Obama?" asked the Nobel Laureate. "Who is this bland, timid guy who doesn't seem to stand for anything in particular":
I realize that with hostile Republicans controlling the House, there's not much Mr. Obama can get done in the way of concrete policy. Arguably, all he has left is the bully pulpit. But he isn't even using that — or, rather, he's using it to reinforce his enemies' narrative.
Isn't it fascinating? The Democrats control the White House and the Senate, but now that Republicans are in charge of the House, the President is hamstrung to get anything done.
Shouldn't that mean that in the final two years of the Bush presidency, when Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress, whatever happened in those two years should be blamed on them? Say, for instance, a financial crisis that led to a recession and exploding debt?
Of course not. The laws of civics don't apply when there's a Republican in the White House. But that's as much a constant in our lives as Krugman making silly comments:
Maybe that terrible deal, in which Republicans ended up getting more than their opening bid, was the best he could achieve — although it looks from here as if the president's idea of how to bargain is to start by negotiating with himself, making pre-emptive concessions, then pursue a second round of negotiation with the G.O.P., leading to further concessions.
And bear in mind that this was just the first of several chances for Republicans to hold the budget hostage and threaten a government shutdown; by caving in so completely on the first round, Mr. Obama set a baseline for even bigger concessions over the next few months.
What's fascinating here is that if Krugman really wanted to bash his president, he could remind readers that the White House and the Democrat-controlled Congress could have averted all of this last year by passing a budget of their own.
Nowhere in the Nobel laureate's column did he mention this inconvenient truth. Too bad, for that in reality was the truly hapless play by Obama, one that he's largely gotten a pass for from his fans in the media.
Now the narrative has indeed changed to one of budget cuts rather than increases, and this could have easily been prevented if Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) would have immediately put forth a budget after the healthcare reform legislation was passed last May.
Instead, they decided it wouldn't be prudent to do so with elections coming up in November, and now the dynamic in D.C. has radically changed as a result:
But let's give the president the benefit of the doubt, and suppose that $38 billion in spending cuts — and a much larger cut relative to his own budget proposals — was the best deal available. Even so, did Mr. Obama have to celebrate his defeat? Did he have to praise Congress for enacting "the largest annual spending cut in our history," as if shortsighted budget cuts in the face of high unemployment — cuts that will slow growth and increase unemployment — are actually a good idea?
As Reagan would say, there you go again.
It seems whenever possible, Krugman wants to spin his yarn about government spending creating jobs. This of course ignores the immutable fact that outlays have risen 41 percent in the past four years as unemployment has doubled from 4.4 percent to 8.8 percent.
How's that government spending creates jobs thing workin' for yah, Mr. Krugman?
Of course, it never works. From 1929 to 1939, annual government spending tripled from roughly $3 billion to $9 billion. Did it help?
Hardly. The unemployment rate was 3.2 percent in 1929. Having peaked at roughly 25 percent in 1933, it was still at 17.2 percent at the end of 1939.
No matter how many times liberals try to spend us out of a recession, it never works. All it does is explode the national debt.
This time's no different, and Krugman is now officially concerned the president he supports has lost that spending feeling:
I'd say that the nation wants — and more important, the nation needs — a president who believes in something, and is willing to take a stand. And that's not what we're seeing.
Makes you almost want to cry, doesn't it?

Just like everything he has done in his entire life, he absolutely cannot take a stand. He follows the crowd and vacillates like a fan.
And don't get me started on the whole "greatest orator" thing. As one other poster stated, watching him give a speech (with the teleprompter, of course - don't leave home without it) is like watching the world's slowest tennis match.

Krugman - you, and David Brooks, and EVERY other leftist media tool out there are responsible for this. The ruin that Obama has wrought, the world unrest he has caused with his inexperience, the death and destruction that his disastrous policies have brought to pass can ALL be laid directly at your feet.
The blood that has been spilled because of him is on YOUR hands. The lost freedoms he has destroyed are on your heads. The out of control spending, the looming staglation, the civil strife and uproar are all on YOU. The 'torches and pitchforks' that Obama said only he could save you from? They're coming, buddy. They're coming for you.
Why? Because you leftist media types whored yourselves for Obama's campaign. You were so eager for a Democrat president. Not just a Democrat, he had to be black. He had to be young, hip and 'cool'. He had to be your wet dream fantasy Democrat. A 'clean articulate' black man who 'could speak with a negro dialect (when he wanted to) and who had a 'crisp, clean crease in his pants which proves he is ready to rule the world'.
If you media b@$tards had done your blasted jobs and VETTED Obama, you could have prevented him from ever reaching the primaries. You knew he was a child. You KNEW he was unqualified. You knew he was nothing but a stuffed suit with no qualifications, no skill, no personality, no leadership and no brains. You KNEW, liberal media. You KNEW. And you covered up for him. You ran interference for him. You deliberately withheld the facts about this disaster of a man from the public, because you were so desperate to have your cute little black Democrat in the white house. You should have investigated him. Exposed him. Vetted him. But you covered up for him, and now the nightmarish truth about your candy-coated rose-colored liberal policies are exposed as the failures that they always were.
And now you have the GALL to start snivelling and whining about the consequences of the cover-up you wilfully engaged in? Now that your man-child is reveling himself to be the walking disaster that he always was, you have the GALL to act surprised?
You liberal media jerks wet your beds - now you have to sleep in it.
Don't worry - in 2012 we'll fix things. Once Obama and his cabal of corrupt 'czars' are cast out, we will vote intelligent and responsible people into power who will fix this mess that you created, and we'll do it without your help. Just do the right thing for once you liberal media retards - and get the heck OUT of the way. You have proved once and for all the old truth: 'It is better (for the liberal media) to be SILENT and to be thought of as fools, rather than to open their foul mouths and removed all doubt.'

I don't get what comrade Krugster and his lefty cohorts...
Submitted by Dave. on Mon, 04/11/2011 - 11:42am.
...are getting their boxers in a bunch over and crying about when it comes to Obama.
Obama's Marxist agenda train is rolling right along, and the House repubs are doing little more than standing along the track and shooting spit balls at it.
They haven't even managed to slow it down, much less stop or reverse it.
Is it because they don't think Obama is destroying this country fast enough?

Krugman - leave it to natural economic cycles..
Submitted by Gary Hall on Mon, 04/11/2011 - 12:30pm.
Perhaps this is too simplistic; however, I'll go after both sides here a bit.
When the the R's are in power and there is an economic downturn/recession - it's stimulus via mostly tax cuts.
When the D's are in power and there is an economic downturn/recession - it's stimulus via mostly spending.
Thinking of the past two cycles. Both followed historic bubbles (dot.com and housing, respectively).
Note that respective recoveries, for both, which included meaningful job growth and revenue growth, especially during the first 2-3 years was not, and is not, to be found.
A more painful note here, is that during Bush's weak recovery - 2002 and 2003 - we were experiencing a powerful housing bubble - fueling 1/3 of all jobs created. Without that, what would have been?
Something more troubling than the short term policies of a Clinton, a Bush, or an Obama is at play in these boom, recession, and anemic recoveries are at play here - something structurally underlying our economy.
The traveling road show of Simpson/Bowles and the interjection of Paul Ryan have opened up a starting point in the conversation. It will need to progress to new and unexplored areas.
Note that we don't have the freedom that Reagan had in the early 1980's - the debt picture has changed, along with a new play ground in a new more technological based world economy.
Obama is stuck in the past.

The belated question
Submitted by Galvanic on Mon, 04/11/2011 - 12:51pm.
The answer to Krugman's question is that Obama is the very same man they elected. Unless Krugman can point to some aspect of Obama's performance in the past and find a change, then he must accept that Obama is now the same man he enthusiatically voted for in 2008. He will never be better than he is now.
The question is coming two years too late.

To Slyrr, that is as good a rant as I have heard in a while.

Would you mind if I used your words - citing your screen name as a source? That is as clear an indictment as I have read about the gross negligence of the media in vetting their boy wonder.

Drink Enough Water – Few of us drink enough water yet good hydration is the basis of better health. The body depends on water to keep it and the various systems going so stay well hydrated.
Eat More Leafy Greens – Greens are the things missing in many of our diets, however they are nutrient dense and are one of the richest sources of vitamins and fiber, so eat more!
Include Quality Protein Daily - Protein is essential to the body, it helps stabilize blood sugar, promotes cell growth and repair, assists in hormone production, cell metabolism, fluid balance, and immune system maintenance.
Eat Whole Grains Instead of Processed Foods - Whole grains such as brown rice, buckwheat, quinoa and oats are an excellent source of nutrition and that is because the body absorbs them much slower for sustained, slow release and high-quality energy.
Use Healthy Oils - Olive oil has the highest percentage of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat of any edible oil, and contains a high level of anti-oxidants. Other good healthy oils are coconut, walnut, and flax seed oil, as well as raw nuts and seeds, avocado, olives, and organic butter.
Move Your Body – Get moving because movement helps a lot of our body's natural functions like digestion and circulation and can boost the immune system, strengthen muscles and improve heart and lung function.
Manage Your Stress – Some stress is good but too much negative stress has a detrimental impact on our health even weakening the body's overall immunity. Look for methods that are effective for you to calm an overactive mind and body.
Eat Mindfully – Don't just shovel food into your mouth unthinkingly when watching TV or when on the run, slow down, chew well and think, observe when you are satiated as opposed to waiting until you are too full to move!
Keep a Positive Attitude – Positive thoughts can produce powerful biochemical reactions within the body that lead to good emotional health, negative thoughts and attitudes have the opposite effect.
