(Updates with U.S. approval of Saleh visit in third paragraph.)
Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Yemen's outgoing President Ali Abdullah Saleh left for medical treatment in the U.S. after he was granted immunity from prosecution following the deaths of hundreds of protesters over the past year, an aide said.
Saleh said today in a speech he will return to attend the inauguration of his successor following presidential elections on Feb. 21, the state news agency Saba reported. The president will make stops in Oman and Ethiopia before flying to the U.S., according to Abdulhafiz al-Nehari, a spokesman for Saleh's General People's Congress party.
Saleh's request to travel to the U.S. for medical treatment has been approved, the State Department said in an e-mailed statement.
"The sole purpose of this travel is for medical treatment and we expect that he will stay for a limited time that corresponds to the duration of this treatment," said the statement, which referred further questions about Saleh's travel plans to the Yemeni government.
Saleh described parliament's decision yesterday to pass an immunity statute for him and his aides, along with the endorsement of Vice President Abdurabuh Mansur Hadi as the sole presidential candidate, as a "good achievement," Saba said.
Saleh Steps Down
A new Yemeni government was sworn in last month after Saleh signed an agreement brokered by the Gulf Cooperation Council to relinquish presidential powers in return for immunity. Saleh urged all political parties today to embrace reconciliation and work together to repair damage caused during the unrest, the agency reported.
The president apologized for all wrongdoings or mistakes, saying any errors during his period of office were unintentional. "I appeal to my people, men and women, to forgive my mistakes during the 33 years of my reign," the agency reported. "I beg your pardon and I apologize to all Yemeni citizens."
Tens of thousands of Yemenis rallied today in several cities, including the capital Sana'a and Taiz, to protest the immunity law, saying Saleh and his aides are responsible for at least 1,100 deaths over the past year.
'A Crime and a Betrayal'
"This is a crime and a betrayal of the blood of our brothers," Mohammed Hussami, a protester in Sana'a, said in an interview.
Saleh first agreed to step down amid street protests in November after returning from medical treatment in Saudi Arabia for wounds he sustained during an assassination attempt in June.
About 103,000 soldiers and officers will provide security for the presidential vote, with at least two soldiers in charge of protecting each ballot box, Yemen's election commission said Jan. 19.
Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries, with backing from the U.S., have sought to resolve the Yemeni conflict. Saudi Arabia shares a border with Yemen and has been targeted in the past by Yemen-based militants from al Qaeda, as well as getting drawn into tribal conflicts.
The unrest has cost Yemen, the poorest Arab nation, more than $8 billion, Industry and Trade Minister Hisham Sharaf said Nov. 13. Attacks against the country's pipeline network have disrupted exports and caused nationwide shortages.

Miami is one of several U.S. cities promoting the value of better city infrastructure and the existence of alternative modes of transportation, as emphasized in the Miami DDA Masterplan. In collaboration with the initiative, local non-profit group DawnTown hosted the Alternative Mobilities competition, which asked designers to create a new meeting space in Downtown Miami's Central Business District for people using these alternative transit strategies. — bustler.net
At the end of the competition, three winners were selected:1st place: "The Catalyst" by Studio GeKo - Bastian Gerner, Pola Rebecca Koch (Arhus, Denmark)2nd place: "Mobile Miami" by Jeff Jasinski and Matt Dureiko (Kent State University, Cleveland, Ohio)3rd place: "MoPAD" by Michael Barker (New York...

At $3.74 billion, plus another $200 million in contingencies, the "Transportation Hub" at the World Trade Center—not even the busiest station in the Financial District—will be far and away the most expensive train station built in modern history.
The Hub, as it's known in Port Authority speak, will be the crowning artistic statement of the World Trade Center complex, perhaps the last grand gesture at a site that was supposed to be full of them. — observer.com

If that's the yardstick that offside is measured by, then there should be about 150 offside calls a year.

They make it sound like the move from left to right is why he's failing. They neglect to mention it was a QB life-saving move.

capacity, with natural gas and wind resources playing a major role in taking up the slack.
Investment cycles in the electric industry are notoriously lumpy, and the duration of integrated resource planning efforts (in regulated regions) and market cycles for transmission system planning (in competitive regions) aren't necessarily well suited to a rapid turnover in existing infrastructure. As the industry faces a period of perhaps unprecedented change over the next three to five years, investors, utilities, developers, and policymakers will need to rapidly improve their understanding of the revenue, price, cost, emission, and portfolio diversity tradeoffs that come with power system resource options. Now is the time to consider such tradeoffs, and ensure that planning processes and market structures are sufficient to produce reliable, efficient and policy-appropriate outcomes.

See "Forward Capacity Auction Results Filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission," ISO New England Inc., Aug. 30, 2010, p. 3. In the New England Forward Capacity Market (FCM), a "delist" bid is effectively a request to remove the unit(s) from having an obligation to be available as capacity for a single year. A request to permanently delist units at a facility initiates a process that could lead to a cost-of-service reliability contract for some or all of the facility's capacity, depending on ISO's determination of need for reliability.

Re: WWE 2007 & Beyond by DDMac
Smackdown Review:
In what has become a really great feud over the past few weeks, this interpromotional tag team match between Show and Umaga vs. Kane and Henry keeps getting better. Great comments from Stephanie and Heyman. However the beatdown from Show and Umaga to Kane was really good, though Henry leaving as quick as he did, could have came back in to try and help. While Raw got the better of Smackdown, I have a feeling that the Smackdown team will win the match come Mania. The opening tag team match was really good as it showcased the other members in the eight man tag match for Mania in a great way. The Kennedy/Flair match was a surprise in that I thought Kennedy would win the match via pinfall before the beatdown from Flair and Batista. The staredown though between the champ and Kennedy was well written, and hopefully this is the match that goes on last at Mania as it deserves it. King Booker's promo was good but could have been much better, as Booker could have said more of his signature phrases and switch back and forth from his "King Booker" and "Booker T" personas.
Great segment with Hunter and Stephanie. I like the fact that you are acknowledging the fact that they were a stable on TV a couple years ago. Stephanie though seemed better in this segment though. Great announcement from Stephanie about the show's Main Event. The Six Man Tag Match was good. Not surprised that Regal left his team though, as that was smart booking for a heel champion before his upcoming title match. The Kennedy/Rock segment was good, but Kennedy could have said a bit more in the segment and The Rock could have said some more, as the segment seemed a bit rushed. However The Rock/Hunter segment was gold! Even though Hunter didn't say much, this promo was pure gold! This was classic funny yet serious Rock! Excellent promo and I can't wait until their match at Mania!
Great promo from the Hardys and Flair. That was great writing of how the Hardys mentioned that they were fans of Flair and then pulling a fast one on him, by speaking on the tricks that Flair used to do back in the day. Flair's reaction was priceless though. Mysterio's match seemed like nothing more than a squash, which it ashame because Scotty is a great wrestler. The promo from Daniels though was excellent, as Daniels has carried this whole feud with his promos, IMO. The ending of the segment was well written, though their match if given enough time could be a showstealer at Mania. The Six Man Tag Match was great, even though the ending was predictable. The beatdown from Batista and Flair to Kennedy was good and reminded me of the beatdown from the Corporation to Austin and McMahon screaming at Austin on the Raw before their cage match back in 1999. This title match I'm sure is going to be a classic!
What an end to the show! I know that you are not a fan of Taker, but this feud has been built up greatly, and I hope that it gets a great spot on the card at Mania. Cena was very intensed in this segment and that was made the segment even better. Even though the show ended with Cena having the STFU on a bloody Taker, I still have a feeling that this match could go either way. I must say that I'm looking forward to the match.
Overall Comments: What a way to conclude the road to WrestleMania in this thread! I know that WrestleMania is going to be huge! You have built the feuds up in a great way and I know come Mania the matches will deliver. One question though, do you have a possible date for when Mania will be posted?

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OriginHulk vs the Space Parasite.Randau was once the king of the Xeronians which was a peaceful society that despised hate, war and death. When alien invaders threatened their planet Xeron, Randau could no longer stand idle and subjected himself to an untested device called the solar chamber. Randau was bathed with mysterious rays from a third sun and emerged as a living weapon coursing with energy. Randau quelled the invading army but continued to conquer new foes beyond their universe. Randau became the Space Parasite and needed to absorb the energy of his foes to survive. Randau observed the Hulk from his spaceship and wanted to absorb his energy because he believed it would nourish his system for months, possibly for years. Randau traveled to Earth and challenged the Hulk to battle. The fight was fierce and intense between the two powerhouses. Randau was getting weaker during the fight and he wanted the Hulk to kill him in combat. Hulk refused to kill him so Randau teleported away. Several Xeronians located Randau and decided he must die so they pressed the detonator that destroyed his ship. Randau was in mid-teleportation when his ship was destroyed. Randau realized his people tried to kill him and he had no home to go to. Randau in his weakened state, lay on a piece of floating debris and drifted away in space.CreationRandau the Space Parasite was created by Gary Friedrich and Marie Severin in 1968 and first appeared in The Incredible Hulk # 103.Story ArcsAnnihilationRandau loaded with cosmic power.Randau would reappear as a new ruler of a planet he called New Xeron and come into conflict with Terrax and Paibok when they landed on his planet after they destroyed the Annihilation Wave Battle Cruiser Ch'trrr. An empath named Chandra told Terrax and Paibok that Randau was feeding off the populace of that planet and would shoot down ships that strayed too close to his planets with his solar scepter. The slaves and captives lack the power necessary to destroy the Space Parasite. Terrax agreed to take the fight to Randau and destroyed his palace with a massive wave of stones and rock. Randau emerged from the rubble and struck Terrax with an energy blast and stabbed Paibok with his scepter when he tried to use his hypnotic gaze on him. Terrax grabbed Randau from behind and tried to overload him with cosmic power but the plan backfired. Randau's size and power increased and was about to crush Terrax when Chandra attacked with a bow and arrow. Randau was simply annoyed and obliterated Chandra with one blast. The distraction allowed Terrax to recover and he split Randau's head and upper torso in half with his axe. Randau was killed and Terrax destroyed his planet with one powerful axe blow.Powers & AbilitiesRandau was granted superhuman strength, durability and resistance to injury. He could also absorb the energy from his foes to nourish his body and increase his strength.WeaponsRandau also carried a weapon called the solar scepter which was a jagged sword that was capable of sapping the strength of his enemies.

Hagel says Russian military exercises up tensionsApril 24, 2014 @ 3:00 pm
MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says Russian military exercises on its border with Ukraine increase tensions and run counter to a diplomatic agreement it signed just last week.
Hagel spoke with reporters in Mexico City after he was informed of the Russian military exercises that President Vladimir Putin said were in response to punitive measures by Ukrainian forces against pro-Russian insurgents.
Hagel called the military exercises "dangerously destabilizing" and "very provocative." Hagel said if such activities escalate they will make it more difficult to find a diplomatic solution to the situation in Ukraine.
Russian troops began new military exercises, sharpening anxiety over the prospect of a Russian military incursion into Ukraine. Russia's foreign minister warned Wednesday that any attack on Russian interests in eastern Ukraine would bring a strong response.

A water deity is a deity in mythology associated with water or various bodies of water. Water deities are common in mythology and were usually more important among civilizations in which the sea or ocean, or a great river was more important.

FDA Approves Abraxane for Late-stage Pancreatic Cancer »
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today expanded the approved uses of Abraxane (paclitaxel protein-bound particles for injectable suspension, albumin-bound) to treat patients with late-stage (metastatic) pancreatic cancer.
Read the FDA Approves Abraxane for Late-stage Pancreatic Cancer article »
These indications are based on response rate. There are no data available demonstrating improvement in patient reported outcomes or survival with ADCETRIS.
Hodgkin Lymphoma
ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin) is indicated for treatment of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) after failure of autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) or after failure of at least two prior multi-agent chemotherapy regimens in patients who are not ASCT candidates.
Systemic Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
ADCETRIS is indicated for treatment of patients with systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL) after failure of at least one prior multi-agent chemotherapy regimen.
General Dosing Information
The recommended dose is 1.8 mg/kg administered only as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every 3 weeks. The dose for patients weighing greater than 100 kg should be calculated based on a weight of 100 kg.
Do not administer as an intravenous push or bolus.
Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Dose Modification
Peripheral Neuropathy
For new or worsening Grade 2 or 3 neuropathy, dosing should be held until neuropathy improves to Grade 1 or baseline and then restarted at 1.2 mg/kg. For Grade 4 peripheral neuropathy, ADCETRIS should be discontinued.
The dose of ADCETRIS should be held for Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia until resolution to baseline or Grade 2 or lower. G-CSF support should be considered for subsequent cycles in patients who experience Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia. In patients with recurrent Grade 4 neutropenia despite the use of G-CSF support, discontinuation or dose reduction of ADCETRIS to 1.2 mg/kg may be considered.
Instructions for Preparation and Administration
Procedures for proper handling and disposal of anticancer drugs should be considered [see REFERENCES].
Use appropriate aseptic technique for reconstitution and preparation of dosing solutions.
Calculate the dose (mg) and number of vials of ADCETRIS required. The dose for patients weighing greater than 100 kg should be calculated based on a weight of 100 kg. Reconstitute each 50 mg vial of ADCETRIS with 10.5 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP, to yield a single-use solution containing 5 mg/mL brentuximab vedotin. Direct the stream toward wall of vial and not directly at the cake or powder. Gently swirl the vial to aid dissolution. DO NOT SHAKE. Inspect the reconstituted solution for particulates and discoloration. The reconstituted solution should be clear to slightly opalescent, colorless, and free of visible particulates. Following reconstitution, dilute immediately into an infusion bag, or store the solution at 2-8°C (36-46°F) and use within 24 hours of reconstitution. DO NOT FREEZE. Discard any unused portion left in the vial.
Calculate the required volume of 5 mg/mL reconstituted ADCETRIS solution needed and withdraw this amount from the vials. The dose for patients weighing greater than 100 kg should be calculated based on a weight of 100 kg. Immediately add the reconstituted solution to an infusion bag containing a minimum volume of 100 mL to achieve a final concentration of 0.4 mg/mL to 1.8 mg/mL brentuximab vedotin. ADCETRIS can be diluted into 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, 5% Dextrose Injection or Lactated Ringer's Injection. Gently invert the bag to mix the solution. ADCETRIS contains no bacteriostatic preservatives. Following dilution, infuse the ADCETRIS solution immediately, or store the solution at 2-8°C (36-46°F) and use within 24 hours of reconstitution. DO NOT FREEZE.
Do not mix ADCETRIS with, or administer as an infusion with, other medicinal products.

Avocado Is the Perfect First Baby Food | How To Select Prepare and Store Avocado Baby Food
Avocado are a great first food for baby
I have said it again and again on this site that an avocado is a great first baby food. Not only is it easy to prepare, you simply have to slice open a ripe one and wash or puree with a bit of breast milk or formula, it is also crazy nutritious. This original fun fruit, and yes, it is a fruit, is said to have all the nutrients one might need to survive. It is a pretty powerful food! Avocados are an excellent source of unsaturated fatty acids and have a higher proportion of this "good" fat than any other fruit except for the olive. It is a great source of fiber, folate, and vitamin K and touted for it brain development qualities.
Selecting Avocado
When selecting avocado look carefully for damage, which shows up as soft dark spots in the skin. When picked up, an avocado should feel heavy for its size. If you are not going to eat the avocado for a few days, select one that is firm but not rock hard and ripen it at home by setting it on your counter at room temperature for up to 6 days. Avocados are ripe when they yield to gentle pressure and feel soft all over.
Storing avocado
After ripened, store the avocado in the refrigerator in the vegetable crisper for up to two weeks. Store cut avocados by leaving the skins on and keeping the pit in the uneaten portion. You can brush the fruit with lemon juice (if your baby is old enough for citrus) to keep it from turning brown. You CAN freeze avocado but the texture, once thawed, will be mushy. If you are freezing mashed avocado (without any breast milk or formula added) your baby might not even notice the difference!
Avocado preparation ideas
Mash it
Scoop the ripe flesh out of the skin of the avocado and fork mash. For a younger baby, you can puree it in blender or food processor, it won't take long, and add a bit of formula or breast milk to thin to desired consistency and feed right away.
Add stuff
Try mashed avocado with banana, tofu, and cottage cheese to mix up the flavor and texture for your baby. Of course, mashed avocado is a great addition to super porridge as your baby gets older.
Spread it
Mash and spread avocado as a "vegetable" spread. Use spread for the entire family as a mini dip for vegetables or as the secret ingredient of a fantastic sandwich.
Avocado Smoothie
Avocado is becoming a much loved ingredient for smoothies. It gives the drink a creamy texture much in the same way yogurt might and of course, the nutrients are hard to beat.
The nice folks at Babble.com share 10 smoothie recipes featuring avocado. Avocado can be mixed with fruits including: blueberries, peaches, raspberries, pineapple, and cucumber. Spinach makes an appearance in these smoothies as well as chocolate!
Grow your own avocado plant
You can not open an avocado without having to maneuver around that huge seed! Did you know that the seed WILL grow into an avocado plant? Chances of the plant bearing fruit is pretty uncertain and could take years, however the plant itself is quite nice looking. I have some detailed instructions in the latest version of Super Baby Food that tell how to grow an avocado plant. For a quick look at what a growing avocado plant might look like check out La Femme BEEBO blog that features a great picture of a growing avocado plant from the seed.
I would love to hear how YOU have added avocado to your baby's diet. Share your ideas here.Pin It
All About Spinach: Spinach Baby Food Puree, Spinach baby Food Preparation, Spinach Baby Food Storage and Selection
Popeye was right, spinach is good for you.
Greens are all the rage and with good reason, they are so darn good for you and for your baby. Spinach is a super green that packs a nutritional punch, it is loaded with calcium, vitamin A and iron among other nutrients.
What you should know about homemade spinach baby food
Baby must be at least 9 months old to eat cooked greens, 10 months old for finely chopped raw greens. A young baby (0 -6 months) can not handle the nitrates found in spinach and other leafy greens. Spinach is one of the EWG's Dirty dozen as well so buy organic!
Selecting and storing spinach for baby food
Buy organic spinach leaves that are loose and not in plastic bags, if at all possible. Leaves should be young and tender with no thick veins, bright green, crisp and not wilted, insect-free, and have no bruises, decaying spots, or slime. Rush home from the market and cook and freeze greens the second you walk in the door. If you must store them first, wrap them in white paper towels and place in organic, bleach-free wax paper-lined plastic bags in a cold part of the refrigerator or vegetable crisper. Use them fast, within a day or two.
Preparing spinach baby food
Examine the spinach leaves and discard leaves with a lot of yellow or decay. Trim any thick stems or small blemishes before cooking. To remove any leftover sand, try placing the leaves in a large bowl filled with luke warm water so any sand falls to the bottom of the bowl. Fish out the leaves and place them in a new bowl that is filled with cold water for one more rinse. Coasely chop cleaned leaves, if desired.
Steam the spinach leaves in a covered container for about 5 minutes for whole leaves, 3 minutes for chopped leaves. Steaming in an uncovered container will reduce the strong flavor of the greens but might also mean the escape of nutrients. Drain the steamed leaves, reserving the cooking liquid to be used for pureeing.
Parents.com has a great post with pictures of cooking a pureeing spinach baby food.
Place steamed greens in a blender or food processor with a bit of the reserved liquid. Place pureed baby food in a stainless steel cube tray and freeze for later use or storage using the Food Cube Method.
Other spinach baby food meal options
Spinach has a strong flavor as do many nutrient-filled greens. Adding spinach to other great foods is a terrific way to make it more palatable for your baby. Mixing pureed, cooked spinach with banana, sweet potato, oatmeal super porridge are just a few ways of masking spinach's strong flavor. Adding cooked or raw spinach, when baby is old enough, into a smoothie concoction is another great way to serve spinach and its good for Mommy too!
Spinach Fun Facts
In addition to spinach being so nutritious, did you know that spinach can be terrific for your skin? According to this post by Care2.com, eating spinach can leave you with a glowing completion on the outside as well as healthy on the inside. This post lists 8 great benefits from eating spinach!
Have you experimented with spinach baby food? Any tips on preparing, storing, or serving spinach baby food that you would like to share?

Feeding Baby is About More Than Just Baby Food | Feeding Helps Baby's Development
Feeding baby is about more than just baby food
If you are a fan of Super Baby Food you know that feeding your baby and toddler is not simply for nutrition but also for supporting development, learning, and bonding with Mom and Dad. In addition to the signs of readiness that must be present to begin "solid" food, there are some additional "fun" guidelines for when you get started feeding solid foods, too. One of my favorites, "Do Play with Your Food,' allows parents and caregivers to "let go" a bit at feeding time allowing baby to develop, explore, and discover on his own in addition to adding to his nutrition. In this post, I elaborate on the "Do Play With Your Food" directive AND include a fun recipe that illustrates the point – "Canoes for Riding the Rapids" featuring banana, tofu, ground seeds, and wheat germ.
DO Play with Your Food
Babies are messy eaters. It is perfectly normal for a baby to dip his fingers into bowls of food, suck his fingers and fist, squeeze and smear food onto his face and the tray with his palm and fingers, mash it into his hair, spit it out or let it drool down his chin, blow it at you or on the wall, throw it on the floor along with cups and bowls, and spill his drinks. Be assured that to everything, there is a learning purpose. Your baby is not doing these things to provoke you—he is experimenting and learning about his environment and the texture and feel of his food. She explores her food just as she explores her toys. Restrain your impulse to be neat and encourage self-feeding. Your baby doesn't need Miss Manners' approval.
The right recipe can make eating and learning fun
Try this recipe for your older baby (>1 year) or toddler and watch as he discovers and learns all while eating great food!
Canoes for Riding the Rapids
A slightly curved, shorter banana is good for this recipe. Wash the outside of a banana. Make a vertical slit down one side of the unpeeled banana leaving about 1⁄2 inch uncut at each end. If the banana is curved, make the slit on the "upside" so that it's shaped like a canoe. Open slit and carefully scoop out the flesh.
Fork-mash half of the banana and mix with 1⁄2 cup of mashed tofu, 2 tablespoons of ground seeds, 1 tablespoon of wheat germ, and honey to taste. Spread banana peel open gently and make bottom of canoe flat by pressing with fingers so that it will be stable, being careful not to rip ends.
Return mixture to inside of banana. You can trim around the slit with a sharp knife to make the opening wider.
Use the other half of the banana flesh to shape fish and rocks, roll in wheat germ, and place them around the canoe. These "dangerous" rocks must be avoided to prevent the canoe from breaking apart.
Make oars out of carrot or celery sticks.
Please feel free to add your own recipes that allow baby to play with his food!Pin It
Probiotics for Beginning Eaters Including Yogurt with Active Cultures
Probiotics for Beginning Eaters
Yogurt with Active Cultures
When it comes to yogurt, some experts recommend waiting until babies are 8 months old, others say yogurt is OK to introduce as early as 6 months. Ask your pediatrician for his opinion before you start feeding your baby yogurt.
When you do decide to begin yogurt as part of your baby's diet, be sure to select yogurt with live probiotics by looking for words like "active yogurt cultures" or "healthy live bacteria cultures" on the label. Probiotics are absolutely necessary for a healthy immune system. These healthy, good bacteria keep the bad bacteria in your body in check. If the bad bacteria overtakes the good, all types of infections may occur, including the fungal infections thrush and candida.
The first probiotics in baby's intestines come from mom's vagina during birth or bacteria in the operating room during a cesarian section. Then baby gets additional probiotics from mom's breast milk, formula, and the environment.
Read the ingredients list on the label to make sure it is plain yogurt. Babies need fats, so buy the whole fat or low-fat varieties and not the non-fat type. You could also make your own yogurt by hand. I have detailed instructions on how to make your own yogurt in the new edition of Super Baby Food. A quick set of yogurt making instructions as well as pictures can be found on the TheFrugalGirl blog.
Greek yogurt is another choice. It is thicker than regular yogurt and more appropriate for a Stage 2 eater. Before the advent of Greek yogurt, manufacturers would strain the whey from regular yogurt to make "yogurt cheese," which is similar to Greek yogurt.
Yogurt – Flavor Your Own
Much of the "fruit" yogurt in supermarkets have gobs of unhealthy sugar and flavors added to them, even the yogurts that have healthy-looking pictures of fruit on their containers.
Ignore everything on the carton except the nutrition facts panel and the ingredients list, and this goes for all foods in packages at all stores, even health food stores. Flavor plain yogurt with the age-appropriate real fruit and veggies you freeze using the baby food freeze cube method.
TIP: Yogurt (and other light colored food) is a great food to have fun mixing food colors into, and I do mean food coloring, like the liquid from canned beets, turmeric, frozen berry juices. Let your child mix them together into yogurt for fun new colors and for learning color combinations.
Other Probiotics Food Choices
Examples of other foods that contain probiotics are kefir, sauerkraut and other fermented foods. All these foods in the supermarket might be fakes–they can contain only dead bacteria–including baby yogurts that are shelf stable. Buy only the foods that indicate that their probiotics are still alive and kicking, with your doc's approval.
Beets Are an Excellent Baby Food Choice | Choosing, Preparing and Storing Beets for Baby Food
Purple beets have such a lovely spring color. I thought it would be nice to do an informative post on beet baby food – How to select the beets, how to prepare them, how to store them and why they are so gosh darn good for your baby.
How old to feed baby beets and why are beets so good for baby
The prevailing wisdom tell us baby must be 8- 10 months months old to eat cooked beats. I say keep it safe and use the nine month mark as your guide. Raw and grated beets, a bit more rare to feed baby, is for the 10-11 month old. Although beets are not one of EWG's dirty dozen, there is a nitrate issue with beets. By 9 month's old however, that nitrate risk is no longer an issue. Beets are so darn healthy for baby (and you too!) because they contain calcium, potassium, Vitamin A and high fiber. With such a great nutrition report card, I know you are excited to get started feeding beets to your baby.
The ins and outs of feeding your baby beets
Grated beets can be fed to your baby raw. Cooked beets are tasty and very colorful. They can be used as a decorative touch or even a food coloring in baby's food. Beets do stain, so use a good bib when feeding your baby beets. Beet stains are impossible to get out of cloth, plastic surfaces and wood. Stool alert: Be aware that several hours after your baby eats beets, her stool will be quite red in color.
Choosing and Storing Beets
Equivalents: 6 medium beets = 1 pound = 2 cups sliced.
In season: Available year round; peak June through October.
Choosing: Beets are sold with or without their green tops. The tops, called "beet greens," should be fresh-looking, thin-ribbed, and deep green, with no brown or red edges, and with no trace of slime. If they are a little wilted, the flavor of the red root should not be affected because the greens rapidly deteriorate while the root remains good. Beet greens are edible.
Beets without their greens should have at least 1⁄2 inch of stem left on top and their bottom roots should be at least two inches long. The bulbous root should have a lush, deep red color and smooth, firm skin with no cuts or soft spots. Roots should have no scaly areas or circles on the top and they should be a nice round shape, not elongated.
Buy small to medium-sized beets, as large beets tend to be tough with inedible, woody cores.
Storing: As with other root vegetables, immediately remove the greens so that they do not pull moisture from the root. Leave an inch or two of stem on the root, or it will bleed during cooking. Store beets in the refrigerator wrapped in organic, bleach-free wax paper and then in a plastic bag for up to 10 days.
Preparing and cooking beets for baby food preparation
Preparation for cooking: Scrub well under cold-running water.
Steam: Wonderful for holding in nutrients but you need the time, it takes about 60 minutes!
Boil: Simmer whole beets for two hours. Peels will easily come off and juices will be better retained in whole beets.
Bake: Wash thoroughly, place on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 90 minutes to two hours—the larger the beets, the longer the baking time.
Peel and purée: After cooking beets, remove stems. If you wish, slip off peels under cold running water before puréeing.
Freezing: Use the Baby Food Cube Method or Tray-Freeze Method, and keep for up to 2 months. Remember to store in a stainless steel ice cube tray and then store in a organic waxed paper lined plastic freezer bag.

Vitamins Choices for Baby | Iron and vitamin D
Vitamin Supplements for Baby
My fans are the best…very smart and very hip. Recently, I was asked a question about suggestions for vitamin supplements for baby. As I write in Super Baby Food, I always suggest checking first with your pediatrician and here is why. There are very specific amounts of vitamin D, zinc, iron and other nutrients recommended for babies at certain ages by the American Pediatric Association. I wrote about vitamin D and breastfeeding in a previous blog and want to mention how important iron supplements are for your baby too!
It is very important that your baby gets enough iron, but not too much. Too much can cause baby constipation and other problems. Iron is very important, though. Red blood cells need iron to transport oxygen throughout baby's body for growth and development. Iron is the most common nutritional deficiency in babies, which is why many commercial baby foods are fortified with it.
How can you be sure that your baby is getting enough iron?
The new mandatory Nutrition Facts Panel on packaged foods makes it easier to see just how much iron your baby is eating. Fresh homemade food does contain iron, but if your baby is eating all homemade baby food, and especially if your baby is a vegetarian, ask your pediatrician about over-the-counter supplemental iron drops.
Have you recently got a advice from your pediatrician on vitamin supplement drops for your baby? Share with us!Pin It

Baby Food Preparation and Baby Food Safety Measures
Happy New year, Super Baby Food fans! It is a whole new year and you have decided to try making your own baby food. Good for you and your family! You will soon learn that it is much easier than you thought to make organic, homemade, tasty baby food. Before you get started, though, here are a few safety measures to keep in mind and put into practice when making your own baby food. For those of you who already do make your own baby food, consider this a mini-refresher course. Please add your own additional safety ideas and tips in the comment section.
Baby Food Preparation Safety TIps
- Wash your hands…So simple, I know, but always the first step! Wash, wash, wash!
- Wash your produce – both fruits and vegetables – even if it is organic…wash, wash, wash. As you may already know some fruits and vegetables are 'dirtier" than others…Check out EWG's dirty dozen and clean 15 for a refresher.
- Thoroughly clean all food preparation surface areas and utensils with hot, soapy water – the counter surfaces, the high chair tray surface and all of your utensils and operating equipment, including blenders, food processors, etc. (For more information on high chair safety click on the link.)
- Beware of bacteria! Moisture and warmth can equal bacterial growth! Yuck! To get food cooled as quickly as possible, store it in small and/or shallow containers (you know from the 3rd edition of Super Baby Food that I prefer glass or stainless steel containers)
- Do not leave prepared baby food at room temperature for more than a few minutes. Serve it right away or freeze it for later use.
- Thaw all foods in the refrigerator and never refreeze food that has been cooked then frozen and then thawed.
Baby Food Precautions
- Baby food can be spoiled without necessarily smelling bad. When in doubt, throw it out.
- Any leftover homemade or commercial baby food or juice that has come in contact with your baby's saliva must be discarded.
- Commercial baby food jars (I know you are only using commercial baby food in a pinch;)) must "pop" when opened to insure the content's freshness!
- If commercial infant/baby/toddler cereal has been mixed with liquid, serve it immediately and discard the leftovers.
For many more safety tips on baby food preparation safety and baby food safety, be sure to check out the new edition of Super Baby Food, now available on Smashwords! There are three chapters in an entire section of the book dedicated to safety. It is very important! Please share your own safety tips developed along the way with me!

For the past two decades, Martin McDonagh has established himself as a sensational writer of emotional disturbance and darkly funny exchanges in his Irish-set plays and crime-focused films. He may not be a household name, but that name already has an Academy Award and several Tony nominations under its belt. We have a number of his works in the collection worth recommending.
Written in the mid-Nineties, The Beauty Queen of Leenane and Other Plays offers a trilogy of stories centered around the same town and immediately shows McDonagh's gifts for cleverly inane banter and simmering tensions.
A few weeks ago a friend of mine told me about Awkward Family Photos. This is a collection of photos that I would probably have burned if I had some of these for my family. However, these families bravely submitted them for the world to see.
Sometimes the reason for the awkward moment hits you in the face, but then there are others that you really have to look carefully at the picture and what is happening in the background to figure out what is funny about the photo. When I realized what is "special" about the photo I felt stupid for not noticing it right away.
For most of her eleven years, Delly has been in trouble without knowing why, until her little brother, R.B., and a strange, silent new friend, Ferris, help her find a way to be good--and happy--again.
The main character of the book The Absolute Value of Mike, by Kathryn Erskine, is the son of a brilliant but absent-minded mathematician. Mike takes care of everything around the house. He pays the bills and handles all the day-to-day activities of the household. Although Mike's father is a mathematician, Mike suffers from a condition called dyscalculia, meaning that he has an inablity to process math problems. Mike's father wants him to become an engineer, a career which requires a lot of math. Mike does not want to disappoint his father, but he struggles with math because of his dyscalculia. He doesn't know how to tell his father that he does not want to be an engineer.
Mike learns that his father is going to Romania for work, and that he will not be going with him. The plan is to send Mike to live with his Great Aunt Moo and Great Uncle Poppy in Pennsylvania. Mike has never met them, and he is not happy about this arrangement. Upon his arrival Mike soon realizes that Poppy and Moo need his help more than he needs theirs. Poppy and Moo are living from Social Security check to Social Security check. Their home is in disrepair, and they are terrible at managing their finances.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Versatile running back Jamaal Charles declared he felt "great" after the Kansas City Chiefs' Wednesday practice in preparation for Sunday's season opener against the Tennessee Titans.
Charles, who finished No. 3 in NFL rushing last year with 1,287 yards and caught 70 passes for another 693 yards, has not played since the Chiefs' first preseason game. He was held out by coaches who wanted to save his body for the real season.
The Chiefs had mixed news Wednesday on the injury front.
Wide receiver A. J. Jenkings returned to practice after being sidelined the previous five days due to a concussion suffered in the final preseason game. He was cleared to participate in practice and is on the road to be cleared to play Sunday.
However, the other starting wide receiver will be Frankie Hammond, in place of Dwayne Bowe, who will serve a one-game NFL suspension. Hammond, spent last season on the Chiefs' practice squad, is a speed receiver who out of University of Florida who appeared vastly improved this preseason.
Josh Mauga will be the starting middle linebacker. He steps into the spot vacated by veteran Joe Mays, who was moved to the injured-reserve list/designated for return on Tuesday. Mauga was signed just before the start of training camp, after sitting out the 2013 season because of injury with the New York Jets.
Offensive lineman Mike McGlynn continues to work as the starting left guard. He was signed last Wednesday after being released by Washington and is replacing starter Jeff Allen, who was moved to right tackle to replace Donald Stephenson, who is serving a four-game NFL suspension.
Center Eric Kush did not practice because of a shoulder injury. The backup center's status for Sunday's game is questionable. Kush suffered the injury in the final preseason game last week.

I was looking into getting a Glock 27 but I was thinking that this will be the last gun that I will be gettign for atleast a year. So I was think why don't I get a supcompact 1911 like I have always wanted. The prob is I don't know what supcompact 1911 are out there.
Now here is why I am thinking not to get the 1911. I could pay for the glock and get it over with. The accssesories for the glock are cheap and you can find them anywhere you go.
The reason why I want a 1911 subcompact is it is my dream gun.
Ahhhh I don't know. HELPPPPPP

Solo pornography features performers masturbating. However, the tradition of bondage magazines continues in the form of art books of bondage photographs, published by mainstream publishers such as Taschen. Typically features a feminine Uke, or submissive, and a masculine
Seme, or dominative. Caro rejected that as being a necessary conclusion, stating that female fatty deposits on the hips improve individual fitness of the female, regardless of sexual selection. Anti-pornography psychologist Ana Bridges and colleagues conducted a content analysis of best-selling heterosexual pornographic videos showing that over 96% of all scenes concluded with a male performer ejaculating onto the body of his female partner. The term is a slang word that originated in the gay community and comes from the equestrian term bareback, which refers to the practice of riding a horse without a saddle. A sexual fetish may be regarded as an enhancing element to a romantic/sexual relationship achieved in ordinary ways or as a mental disorder/disorder of sexual preference if it causes significant psychosocial distress for the person or has detrimental effects on important areas of their life. Pornographic films or sex films are films that present sexually explicit subject matter for the purpose of sexual arousal and erotic satisfaction of the viewer. There are no particular or preferred elements within maiesiophilia that are common to all maiesiophiliacs. Bukkake videos are a relatively prevalent niche in contemporary pornographic films. The fetish centers around this fantasy portrayal. In many cases, that person is also aroused by smelling body parts that have a urine scent. These typically are leaked to the public via the Internet, with or without the celebrity consent. Ethnic pornography is a genre of pornography that features performers of specific ethnic groups, or depictions of interracial sexual activity. Guro or Gore is a genre of Japanese pornography involving blood, gore, disfiguration, violence, mutilation, urine, enemas, or feces.

Wavelets, Regularity, Complexity, and MPEG-Audio
The performance of wavelets in terms of vanishing moments, regularity, and complexity is investigated for low bit-rate coding of audio signals. To assess the coding gain of wavelets, a codec model has been designed and implemented based on a wavelet packet algorithm and an auditory perception model combined with entropy noiseless coding. The wavelet packet-based coding approach is compared to the MPEG-audio international standard in terms of objective and subjective measurements and is shown to be superior to MPEG-audio Layer I and competitive with Layer II. The trade-offs between the two approaches are discussed.

On the Nature of Digital Audio PWM Distortions
Using a novel mathematical methodology, based on the analytic time and spectral description of the instantaneously sampled PCM signal and the analytic PCM-to-PWM mapper, the exact nature of the PWM-induced distortions were derived; and an exact description of the generated mapping error in both the time and frequency domains is presented. The effect of the input PCM signal and the conversion parameters were assessed for several cases of PCM-to-PWM conversion.

In the last two years, Charla Carpenter-Ortiz has become a new person in more ways than one.
What started as a fitness resolution soon became the pride of the Turlock community as Bell Real Estate owner Robert Bell launched a cycling team that promotes community involvement, team camaraderie, and charity.
The start of the New Year is a time to reflect on what matters most and apply a resolution to obtain goals. For Turlock resident Roy Huffman, implementing a fitness resolution meant more than losing weight; it meant saving his life.
Jeff Liotard was just tired of being fat.
STOCKTON – The closest thing for me to making a New Year resolution was to actually do the 8th annual Resolution Run hosted by Fleet Feet.
What New Year's Eve celebration is complete unless it has the traditional midnight toast of either champagne or sparkling wine?
Looking for the ultimate party, but don't want to go too far? Ring in the New Year with familiar sights and pleasures. Modesto offers several large facilities hosting their own New Year's Eve parties for young and old alike.
It is no secret that New Year's Eve can be an expensive night. Most residents of Turlock buy their drinks in advance and navigate towards house parties to celebrate with friends and family members.
When New Year's Eve comes to mind, most adults think solely of drinking, partying, and upcoming resolutions; but for the members of the Mary Stuart Rogers Birthing Center at the Emanuel Medical Center in Turlock, New Year's Eve is just as special as any other day.
Los Angeles. Aside from the Big Apple, is there any other place in America that might legitimately call itself the Center of the Universe? In the case of Los Angeles, it is the center of the entertainment universe and has more legitimate movie stars per square inch than just about any other place on earth.
STOCKTON – Bill Cosby is appearing on Saturday, Jan. 26, at the Bob Hope Theatre.
Since 1918, June Bruce has experienced almost 94 years of Christmas celebrations.
Evelyn Prouty is no spring chicken. But you wouldn't dare call her a senior citizen even though she has finally retired and given up such pastimes as horseback riding, grave digging and holding tightly to the reins of the Manteca Historical Society.
TURLOCK – For those walking down Main Street after dark, it is hard to ignore the sound of live music coming from downtown's Vintage Lounge and Piano Bar. What's even harder to miss is the long line of people that can be seen on weekend nights, hoping to get in to the popular venue.
MODESTO – The sharp screeches of an old jukebox.The clanking of glasses. The hum of conversation and the occasional outburst of laughter. There's really nothing like a good night out in a bad bar – well, dingy bar actually – where the beer is cheap and the friends are plentiful and the insults and the banter fly around like the smoke-filled air that used to consume the dive bars that dotted the landscape in and around Modesto.

New facts: Woman stabbed before fatal crash
Updated On: Dec 03 2013 04:08:54 PM CST
The Washington County, Tennessee Sheriff's Office held a news conference on Tuesday afternoon to release more details about a deadly crash.
The accident happened on Knob Creek Boat Dock Road when deputies say a car left the roadway, hit a tree, and burst into flames.
Investigators said Bounleua Sonekeo, 38, and Misty Dawn Sonekeo, 36, died Monday morning. "They were in the middle, of what I can understand, a separation," says Sheriff Ed Graybeal.
They believe Misty Sonekeo was stabbed some time before the accident. "[Investigators] found large blood splatters and a lot of blood on the bed," says Sheriff Graybeal. "You can see where he had taken her downstairs to the car, put her in the car and they left the residence at that time."
Deputies said an autopsy will determine if she died from being stabbed or as a result of the crash.

It has been two years since a smug-looking Justin Bieber pouted alongside the angels at the 2012 Victoria's Secret show. In the same week as Justin's showdown with Orlando Bloom, the Biebs is doing a Leonardo DiCaprio and is hanging out on a yacht in the Riviera with a VS model.
Justin posted a pouty selfie with Australian model Shanina Shaik on Instagram. Before you start wondering if she's the new Selena, he captioned the image: "Me and the beautiful @ShaninaMShaik and don't even start with dating rumors."
[Instagram: Justin Bieber]
So who is Shanina Shaik? The 23-year-old model is originally from Melbourne Australia, but is now living in New York. Her modelling career started on the reality show Make Me A Supermodel, and she went on to do catalogue work for the likes of Bloomingdales, Urban Outfitters and Shop Bop. She has walked for Jason Wu, Stella McCartney, Chanel Oscar de la Renta and Tom Ford, as well as strutting her stuff down the VS glitter runway.
One Justin Bieber; many Victoria Secret Angels [Instagram]
At the time of the VS show rumours swirled that there was more than twit pic-ing going on between Justin and some of his angels. Hungarian model Barbara Palvin was at the centre of the rumours. At the time she posted a picture of herself with Justin backstage, but then took to Twitter to say: 'Everyone calm down. He is all yours. There is nothing going on with him. Friendship.'
Of course much (virtual) ink has been spilt this week about Justin's reported flirtation with Miranda Kerr. A source has told E! News that at the Victoria's Secret show, ""Bieber and Kerr were acting flirty throughout the course of the evening."
See Bieber and his many angels in the gallery below...

Hey everyone! I have a question. I have celiac and I get a horrible pain in my abdomen a few inches above my navel whenever I eat something wrong. But I also get an unbelievable pain around that area when I sneeze. I don't have a cold or anything, so I know it has nothing to do with being a cold symptom. Does anyone get this pain when sneezing? It really hurts. And does anyone know what causes it? Is it yet another thing caused by celiac or what? Thanks a lot.

Gov. Terry Branstad's proposal for new education spending is inching forward in the General Assembly.
Senators in an education subcommittee voted Monday in favor of amending a House version of the bill to match the Senate proposal. If approved by the Senate in the coming days, it will go back to the House for review, but committee chairman Sen. Herman Quirmbach of Ames says the bill will likely land in a joint conference committee for negotiations.
The Democratic-majority Senate and the Republican-controlled House have developed different versions of Branstad's education plan. Branstad's proposal boosts minimum teacher salaries and provides incentive pay to teachers who take on more responsibilities.
The House watered down the plan last month, making parts optional. But the Senate beefed it up, adding more leadership pay options.

I had the idea for this top a few years ago, and have had the elements of it too, but only just got around to making it. The main part of the top used to be a dress, while the sleeves are a lace doily I found in a vintage shop. The top can be worn over a singlet or swimsuit.

Performance Management with ERM
Typically performance management is done on spreadsheets, with critical information scattered throughout multiple business areas. This leaves managers unable to identify emerging risks that could blind side the strategic plans of the organization.
LogicManager enables organizations to identify risks, assess them based upon likelihood, impact and assurance, evaluate whether action is needed, and devise mitigation or business building activities if needed. Managers can then specify and record measurements to track effectiveness, and finally formalize the connection between risks, operational activities, and balanced scorecard objectives.
Connecting risks to mitigation activities, metrics, and business initiative data allows organizations to detect increased threat levels and identify emerging risks before your business metrics become out of tolerance.
Here are some examples of what LogicManager's Enterprise Risk Management Software Solution can do for you:
Manage Relationships – With LogicManager, performance management is more than just tracking business metrics. It's about knowing what to measure, being alerted when that measure is out of tolerance, and knowing who needs to be involved across the organization to take corrective action when incidents occur.
LogicManager enables you to leverage risk vs reward trade-offs in all activities and decision making to reach your goals. LogicManager's ERM software includes robust balanced scorecard capabilities that align business activities to the strategy of the organization through risk management.
Gain Efficiency – Real-time tracking of metrics on an ongoing basis allows businesses to allocate resources to critical areas, as well as focus on forward-looking measures to identify and manage emerging risks.
Preventative, proactive measures are often indistinguishable from reactive measures, as metrics do not formally tie back to any commitments or risks. As a result, resources may be focused on activities related to historical and non-critical risks. Once connections are made between risks, mitigation activities, and performance goals, organizations can eliminate activities and measures that have low priority or have no connection to risks or business initiatives, driving efficiency through the business.
Set Priorities – Most organizations have no way of knowing how changing and emerging threats will affect their risk metrics. LogicManager risk management software allows organizations to see forward looking trends, and prioritize business metrics based on changing threat levels. Assessing risks and linking them to business activities allows organizations to prioritize which activities need to be monitored closely. Through regular quarterly or annual risk assessments, organizations can detect increased threat levels and identify new emerging risks before they materialize and bring your business metrics out of tolerance.
Performance Management Software Features
1. Balanced Scorecard
- Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Library – Leverage a comprehensive pre-built register of key performance indicators to identify business goals and evaluate action plans.
- Evaluation Criteria – Use pre-loaded standardized evaluation criteria to quantify opportunities and prioritize resources.
- Validation – Automate completeness tests to ensure that goals are managed by policies, procedures, controls and measured.
2. Business Metrics (Risk Indicators – KRI, Flash Reports)
- Measures – Collect and aggregate related business metrics from across multiple business areas.
- Prioritization – Prioritize business metrics based on the importance of the risks and goals they relate to.
- Gap Analysis – Understand gaps where key risks and goals are not monitored by business metrics.
- Trend Analysis – Analyze trends over time within and across business areas.
3. Operational Activities
- Measures – Align business process goals and objectives with actionable and measurable activities.
- Linkage – Prioritize business metrics based on the importance of the goals activities they relate to.
- Monitor Goal Achievement – Track business metrics over time to ensure that your risk levels are within tolerance.
4. Operational Reviews
- Resource Allocation – Use standardized criteria to compare risk assessments on initiatives like cost–cutting, customer satisfaction, and new product introductions on an apples–to–apples basis across to better allocate resources.
- Variances – Identify where key activities across business silos and levels are moving outside of high/low limits or thresholds.
- Budgeting – Generate status reports that link resource allocations to goal achievement for budget committees and operational reviews.
5. Customer Response Management
- Customer Complaints– Captures, escalate and report on customer complaints through configurable fields to ensure collection of necessary data.
- Status– Organize and understand the nature and source of complaints.
- Response – Engage necessary business resources to analyze and develop responses.
- Investigations – Track a threaded discussion to investigate issues and assign responsibilities to bring issues to resolution.
- Issues – Manage corrective actions for internal and external audit findings.
6. Business Intelligence Tools
- Pre–configured Dashboards & Reports – Benefit from dashboards and reports to track activities at the department and enterprise levels.
- Status – Track the current status of operational activities and monitor upcoming changes.
