Hair loss (alopecia) can affect just your scalp or your entire body. It can be the result of heredity, certain medications or an underlying medical condition. Anyone — men, women and children — can experience hair loss.
Baldness typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp. Some people prefer to let their baldness run its course untreated and unhidden. Others may cover it up with hairstyles, makeup, hats or scarves. And still others choose one of the medications or surgical procedures that are available to treat hair loss.
Before pursuing any treatment option, talk with your doctor about the cause of and best possible treatments for your particular type of hair loss.

Rooms To Go wanted to improve customer service on the showroom floor with Windows 8 tablets for its sales associates. Associates don't have to leave the customer's side to retrieve information from point-of-sales workstations at kiosks. More mobile and attentive service drives sales, improves productivity, and impresses customers.
Enterprise mobility is a growing trend in commerce, work functions, and business relationships. Increasingly mobile customers, employees and partners expect rich, consistent information and applications are readily available regardless of time of day, location, or device. IT groups are faced with challenging tradeoff decisions between efficient technology deployment, trustworthy and secure IT systems, data access, and modern applications to keep up with the needs of the business.
Microsoft Services can offer you these benefits:
Anywhere connectivity. More than 57 percent of full-time employees engage in some form of BYOD. Provide your people with secure access whenever they need it—from virtually anywhere. (Note: Mobile communication requires an Internet connection or cell phone service.)
Personalized experience. Today's workers expect enterprise apps to provide the same personalized experience as consumer apps do. Use client technologies and services to deliver a personalized, adaptive experience to your users
Intelligent infrastructure. IDC reported an average three-year ROI of 309 percent for Windows Mobile deployments. Of the total cost savings, 20 percent came from IT operations. You can realize better security and streamlined management by planning and deploying an intelligent infrastructure
Compelling Windows 8.1 application experiences. Apps can make users more productive—when they're implemented right. Unified management allows rich, role-specific solutions across multiple devices and locations, allowing users to focus on content and apps
We start with your vision and have a Strategic Briefing discussion, where we see what's desirable and possible. Then, we work with you to crystalize the business impact you want to drive and we estimate your potential ROI. Finally, we help you design your solution, lab test it, and manage a secure pilot. Our team focuses on creating a great experience for your employees and the end users of your applications, while leveraging your investments for the greatest ROI.
To help align changes to your IT environment with your business goals:
A Strategic Briefing for Flexible Workstyle, facilitated by architect-level experts, explores options for deploying Windows and Office, building rich UI and touch-enabled, mission-critical apps; transforming desktop architectures; and learning how System Center Configuration Manager can help accelerate Windows deployment.
A Business Value Workshop focuses exclusively on quantifying the business value of your organization's critical IT imperatives. Each stage of the workshop is governed by the size and complexity of your organization and by the knowledge of the individual stakeholders involved in the data-gathering process.
Microsoft Services can guide your team through a design-led engagement to build a Windows 8.1 application that can re-imagine how your organization works. Incredible efficiencies can be gained when you take advantage of new device form factors and usability designs. A number of solution elements can help you build an amazing user experience, including:
An Application Development Proof-of-Concept Workshop that will help you understand business value and get immersed in Windows 8.1 application development through hands-on development of a rapid prototype for executive demonstration (with an optional one-day infrastructure overview). This includes Windows 8.1 application coding labs for select enterprise line-of-business scenarios.
An Application Development Pilot Workshop that helps you design and develop a Windows 8.1 solution for a specific business scenario. These services include architecture and user experience design, followed by development of a test-ready application.
These services help assess the benefits of your solution's infrastructure elements and assist in deploying it successfully:
Microsoft Services Windows 8.1 Proof of Concept explores how your business agility can be improved by allowing your employees to work from anywhere on any device, and how a set of well-defined and manageable services can reduce the total cost of ownership for your client systems.
The Production Pilot helps you understand the costs, process, and value of upgrading and deploying the latest operating system and Microsoft Office applications.
Enterprise Device Experience gives your organization a customized solution to enable executives and high level business leaders with the tools, technologies and services they've been requesting.
The Enterprise Mobility Proof of Concept (PoC) offering is a lab evaluation designed to provide enterprise customers with a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) mobility experience.
The System Center Configuration Management Deployment offering provides a structured and proven methodology, resources, and guidance to help you plan, design, and deploy System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1.
The Windows XP Migration Jumpstart service is an accelerated and rapid solution to deploy your modern devices and ensure application compatibility.
The Windows Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Proof of Concept identifies your needs and capabilities, helps you establish your vision, and then calculates the potential value of deploying a Windows VDI based on your objectives and key performance indicators.
The Microsoft Services Windows Internet Explorer Migration Workshop helps you understand the migration process from Internet Explorer 6 to the latest version, using a structured workshop targeted toward IT professionals and developers.
To improve customer service Rooms To Go provided their showroom floor Sales Associates with Enterprise Windows 8 Tablets and a touch-enabled app. The added mobility enhances attentive service and increases productivity. Improvement has impressed customers and boosted revenue.
BT Financial Group Australia, a division of Westpac Group, differentiated its financial planning services by providing its financial planners with tablets running Windows 8 Enterprise and a custom built touch-enabled app so they can meet more customers outside the branch office with the potential to increase sales. Using the tablet to facilitate engaging, productive consultations improves the sales process and helps differentiates Westpac from its competitors.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Neal Augenstein,
WASHINGTON - Many of us will line the parade route on Inauguration Day to be part of history, and some will try to document it with a smartphone.
Jim Long, video journalist with NBC News, encourages smartphone shooters to work within the phone's capabilities.
"There's going to be as many compelling stories out there that are told with people's personal cellphones as there will be with network coverage," Long says.
While convenient, the smartphone's fixed lens doesn't provide much flexibility for close-ups. With large crowds and from a distance, President Barack Obama's limousine likely will look small in your finished video.
Many smartphones offer a zoom function, but the close-in object will appear grainier than a zoomed-out image.
But Long says you still should try to capture your surroundings. His suggestion: "You with your smartphone can really concentrate and focus on wonderful reaction" instead of trying to capture action.
Long says you'll need creative shot selection to compensate for the smartphone's limitations. To get the best-quality image, Long says get close to your subject.
"You'll really be zooming in and zooming out with your feet - not with a camera lens," he says.
Long says you'll want to shoot a variety of shots, including close-ups.
"Maybe it's people's faces and badges and buttons they're wearing, or hands clapping," Long says.
When framing a shot, don't put your subject in the center of your viewfinder, he recommends.
"There's something called 'look room' or 'lead room' - you anticipate a moving object and you give it a little visual breathing space," he says.
He says to get a steady shot, "You might want a threaded tripod mount from your smartphone and maybe a baby tripod," which is a single, collapsible stick.
The tripod also affords you a better line of sight.
"You can hold that thing up over your head and over the head of people in front of you," he says.
Long says you might want to outfit your smartphone with an external microphone, especially if you plan on interviewing people along the route.
"It's going to be a noisy day. It may very well be a windy day. You want to consider getting external audio into the input of the smartphone," he says.
If you shoot video you want to share with WTOP, here's how you can:

your video, and email your URL to firstname.lastname@example.com.

You can say bro to whoever the fuck you want, and as long as they are "barsgahye" dey will understand where you are coming from.

Schedule 80 Pipe (Sold in 5 Ft Sections)
Starting at: $7.99
Spears Gate Valve Slip x Slip
Starting at: $22.99
well built, very good support! By D on 4/16/2014D would recommend this product to a friendI wish that i could comment or reference "C" in this comment but is seems, that person is just for lack of better terms "special" in more ways than one. I am a tinkerer and i took the whole thing apart when i got it. if it un-scewed or came off i did it. thus i fried mine as well. i called customer service and had a very polite gal on the line, who got my plastic and bulb in the mail to me and i received it very fast for where i live..... the story ends with this, some people such as "c" are just people that wont take responsibility for their actions and are just pissed of at the world that their lives suck and that they have no education or manners to make the change.
Well built, very poor support. By C on 1/16/2014C wouldn't recommend this product to a friendJust my 2 cents and heads up to anyone who plans to invest in this pricey UV. I guess I did not seal the unit perfectly and after three weeks a small leak caused the bulb contact to short out. Did not realize it until it just didn't light up anymore... Slightly melted plastic at the bulb contact point and gummed up o ring's. I understand, my stupidity I guess. Not EA's fault. I should have checked and double checked the seals better before putting into use. So due to the slight damage, I need to replace the plastic parts where the quartz sleeve is held, new o-rings, etc. power supply connector and of course a new bulb. Should be a easy fix I thought. Contacted EA and was referred to buy the parts from BRS. BRS, only carries some of the parts and EA was not helpful at all to help in getting me the other replacement parts. I think after attempting to get the few parts I need, I mine as well buy another new unit. Would be less trouble and probably the costs would not be far apart. Expensive little mistake... Be careful using this near water. As separate parts seem to be not easily accessible. I assumed something of this caliber would have a great backing from the company. One of the very few experiences in my life I thought I was buying the best of the best and after three weeks, it is going in the garbage can. I had junk fish gear that lasted me longer than this and easier to get fixed. Just my experience with support. UV probably works great if it worked for me.
Best By Gasman on 9/16/2013Gasman would recommend this product to a friendIf you are going to buy a UV sterilizer,Emperor is the one to get.Consider it an insurance policy against Algae and disease out breaks.It won't prevent either,but it will decrease their severity from catastrophe to something you can manage.You will also enjoy clearer water.
solid By Pius W on 8/29/2010Pius W would recommend this product to a friendI have been using UV on my reef tanks for over 20 years now and tried virtually every brand of UV sterilizer there is. Emperor aquatics is by far and away the best one out there. I would give it 6 stars if i could. This thing looks and feels like it belongs at seaworld rather than my home.

SMART UV Manufacturer's Manual
UV sterilizers are most effective as a preventative measure against disease outbreak. While not infallible a properly sized and set up sterilizer will add a significant barrier to disease outbreak. Protecting your system and it's inhabitants will ultimately save money, promote long lived healthy fish and increase satisfaction received from the hobby. Sterilizers can also be used as a component of an effective strategy to current outbreak. Primarily to help ensure the outbreak doesn't re-emerge after treatment. Anyone who has had the misfortune to encounter an outbreak will appreciate the importance of preventive measures against future problems.
Bulk Reef Supply carries only the Emperor Aquatics line of UV Equipment because we feel they are the best UV sterilizers available to the aquarium industry and one of the few brands that offers legitimately sized units capable of fulfilling their claims.
Emperor Aquatics UV Sterilizers are superior to the competition in the following ways:
- Sterilizers are accurately sized based on contact time, flow rate and tank volume to achieve realistic results.

Czech language studies abroad
02.08.2012 / 14:31
(This article expired 03.08.2013.)
Czech language education abroad takes place in a number of different forms. Teachers of Czech are being sent to compatriot communities abroad or partake in lectorates at foreign universities, and the "Czech School Without Borders" project runs worldwide.
1) Sending of Czech language teachers to Czech compatriot communities abroad
Every year, the Czech Republic sends a maximum of 15 teachers of Czech language and literature to compatriot communities abroad. In 2011/2012, seven teachers have worked in different compatriot communities around Europe, and five in South America. The Centre for International Services (Dům zahraničních služeb) provides more information on this.
2) Lectorates of Czech Language and Literature at foreign universities
Lectorates of Czech Language and Literature (hereafter referred to only as "lectorates") serve as an important tool for strengthening the awareness of the Czech Republic's cultural heritage among people around the world and are a significant source of information about our homeland and its linguistic and cultural wealth for university students abroad.
By upholding the teaching of Czech abroad, the lectorates fulfill two-side commitments in the field of educational cooperation between the Czech Republic and the partner country.
The lectorate commission of the Support of Czech Cultural Heritage Abroad Programme, consisting of representatives of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Centre for International Services, and of experts in the field of Bohemian studies, chooses new lecturers and decides about the extensions of the currently employed lecturers' contracts in the following academic year. See the Centre for International Services website for more information.
3) Czech School Without Borders
The Czech School Without Borders project uses the "total immersion" method, according to which the pupil is in an exclusively Czech-speaking environment during the whole conduct of educational activities. Since the children who attend the classes usually grow up in a bicultural environment, this is for them the most natural way to master the language. This approach, radically different from the traditional foreign language teaching methods, which primarily build on the translation of individual words, enables the child to broaden their vocabulary in real-life situations. This helps the child to grasp the structure of the language faster. The Czech School Without Borders website provides more information about the project and the places it operates in.

WASHINGTON - Laurel police officers will start to wear small cameras that the department hopes will hopefully put an end to disputes at traffic stops and other situations.
But not every officer will wear one of the 3-inch video cameras that can be clipped to a pair of glasses, on a hat, the uniform or a headband.
"It really will produce indisputable evidence for both sides of the situation," says City of Laurel spokesman Pete Piringer.
"Having proof of what happened can be very useful, both to protect officers and to protect citizens," ACLU of Maryland attorney David Rocah told WJZ-TV in Baltimore.
Piringer says the video can't be edited.
"Once it has been uploaded the footage can only be viewed by authorized personnel," Piringer says.
Officers who wear the cameras will need to notify the people when they are being recorded.
Watch a video featuring the cameras from WJZ-TV in Baltimore:

How to Seed a Pomegranate Mess-Free, In Pictures
Seeding a pomegranate might seem like a complicated task, with the added risk of staining good clothes or countertops with all that deep ruby-red juice. But with this step-by-step guide, you can learn how to seed whole pomegranates effortlessly, without a ton of mess.
By Nicole Perry
For many years I avoided buying whole pomegranates for fear of juice splatter reminiscent of a crime scene, instead turning to overpriced, often bland and mushy prepackaged seeds. Since then I've rectified my ways, and realized that a few simple steps are all that separate me from the delicate juicy arils within, hold the mess. Keep reading to learn the tricks to this task.

- A feature-length look at some of the many smaller battles of the Civil War.
- Includes visits to a host of historic sites.
- Learn of strange schemes like the Confederate plan to burn New York City
In the annals of the Civil War, the great battles dominate. Names like Gettysburg, Chancellorsville or Antietam are famous by sheer weight of blood and horror. Where armies of men by the tens of thousands opposed each other, these were the vast, open, visible spectacles of the conflict. But the well-worn archives of that time are also filled with the details of far lesser-known actions, like the Confederate attempt to burn down New York City. They were clever, daring, covert operations designed to frighten the enemy, disrupt his supplies, and destroy his morale. Clandestine plans, fueled by ingenuity and bravado, they defied the odds for a chance at success. This feature-length special explores these little-known but exciting acts of ingenuity and bravery.

A noise can sometimes be heard while the oven is preheating, being used, or cooling down. This is called "oil canning". Oil canning is caused by expansion or contraction of the rear oven wall. This is a normal condition.
When using LP gas, a popping sound may be heard when the burner shuts off. This is called "extinction pop" and is a normal condition.
Some models have a removable oven bottom. Verify the oven bottom is securely in place before using the oven. If it is not, an "oil canning" effect as described above, may occur with the oven bottom when it is heated or cooled

Mogul Mania with Jack Welch & David Geffen
It was SRO at Michael's today with moguls Jack Welch and David Geffen holding court at their respective tables while the celebrity du jour, none other than George Hamilton, caused more than his fair share of double takes. We overheard one fan gush, "I loved you on Dancing With the Stars!" (So did we, but we're too cool to say so.) Meanwhile, the rest of the crowd was so busy air kissing and table hopping between bites it's a miracle anyone actually got to eat anything. We're glad we did, because the new fall menu is fabulous!
I was joined today by Debbie Phillips, life coach and founder of Women On Fire, and Sophfronia Scott, author and founder of The Done For You Writing & Publishing Company. Debbie is busier than ever with her Women on Fire tea parties that have been helping women from all walks of life ignite their true passions since 2004. She's hosting one at Lady Mendl's Tea Salon in Gramercy Park on Friday, and there are others scheduled for Columbus, Ohio, Boston, Santa Fe and Naples this fall. Debbie is on track to reaching her important goal of "connecting 50,000 women to each other" through Women on Fire this year. You go, girl!
Sophfronia, who I first met when we worked at People together another life ago, got to know Debbie after she attended one of her tea parties. She is really on a roll. This mom of an adorable six year-old boy has been regularly cranking out books since she published her first novel All I Need to Get By in 2004. She recently published How The Fierce Handle Fear: Secrets to Succeeding in Challenging Times (Two Harbors) in which she compiles words of wisdom from high rollers, including Donald Trump and Jack Canfield. Just how does she juggle it all? "I can write for about four hours at a time; then I have to get up and do something else," Sophfronia tells me. See, it's just that simple.
Here's the rundown on today's crowd:
1. The "Imber Gang": Dr. Gerald Imber, Jerry Della Femina, Jeff Greenfield, Andy Bergman and Michael Kramer
2. Peter Brown and Grace Hightower (That's Mrs. Robert De Niro to you.)
3. 'Mayor' Joe Armstrong
4. Alan Grubman, David Geffen and Bob Daley

Some of you might know what I'm going to talk about. There's a site (actualy many, but this is the best I found) that allows you to contribute to a good cause without having to pay any money. The system is the following: there's a button on which you click in the site. After clicking it, the site redirections you to a page with some advertising. The advertisers pay for the ads and that money goes to charity. You don't have to do anything else than click buttons.
In this site there are several sections with various causes like feeding hungry people, funding mamograms, feeding animals, etc. each with its button. If you want to do a daily act of generosity bookmark the site.

About Us
RBC Ministries Youth Ministry Initiative, or YMI, seeks to reach young people internationally with the purpose of:
- Challenging youth who have aspirations to reach other young people with God's Word through various mediums such as music, literature, graphics, etc. We invite all Christian youth to an opportunity to become content creators.
- Encouraging youth to be content distributors of God's Word through these various mediums to other youth. If what you read has been a help to you, we know that you want to share it with other youth.
Our first Youth Ministry Initiative effort is this site that you either stumbled upon or heard about. Seeing that in this day and age, most youth are tech savvy, we have made reaching YOU and other youth through the Internet as a start.
In this site, YOU would be able to find devotionals such as Our Daily Bread (ODB) and Our Daily Journey (ODJ) and articles, which we hope helps you in your walk with God. But, we don't want you to just be a passive reader of ymiblogging. We hope YOU will participate by sharing, contributing or responding at our site so that youth all around the world can learn and grow from your contribution too!
If you have something you want to share to other youth at our site, we like to help you hone your talent. For example, YOU will be able to receive tips at our site, on writing and improving your photographic skills. We are glad to have Christians who are professionals in some of these fields offering such help. Be sure to seek them out on ymiblogging. (See Writer's Guidelines)
Well, we hope you understand by now, our heartbeat for this blog; that God's Word, through YOU, will be shared to many more youth. So, come on board with us in making the wisdom from the Bible understandable and available to youth all over the world.

It's amazing how the discrete outreaches RBC is doing spreads blessings more quickly than influenza. I usually write my prayers in my blog and very personal thoughts, thinking that no one really reads my blog. but infact, a lot of my friends subscribes to and reads my blog. I hope sharing the ymi articles on my blog will inspire many of my classmates to Christ. Many of my classmates subscribe to the ODB

Hi Salomi
When you believe in Jesus Christ and He is Saviour and Lord. Through Jesus you are saved. And when you hear what Jesus teaches, understands and do in ur life. Don't give up because it may be easy for others but not for some. I hope I am giving you the right direction.
T'was an amazing experience for me, the first day a friend sent me the ODB daily reading and since then have been subscribing to the ODB because its like my breakfast, without me reading it for a day, i cant just get off from my bed. Thanks a million you guys are doing a wonderful job, and i pray that God will renew your strength.
We are never really abandoned by God even though we may feel that way.
I have being blessed through ODB. l want to appreciate you all for a work well done. l get my copy of ODB on time. thanks and God bless you all.

I'm super happy I can read what other young christians think. I think its a great privilege knowing Christ-God! For me Christianity is not a religion, it's as real to me as my heart beats.
I am very happy to read "Our Daily Bread" because as I read God speaks to me and his words uplifts me when I'm down.It tells me the truth of life and insists the importance of walking closer with God. I know that God is definitely working with millions of people through RBC ministries.Praise God! I pray that God should bless this ministry and that many more people should come closer to God. Thanks for the YMI blogging also.This will bring changes in young people in an amazing way.

I can attest that God answers our prayers even better than we asked him. My fellow youth believe in the power of prayer.

Good day ymi! Hw ru doin. I like ur book of our daily bread. Pls send into email our daily bread. Thanx
Hi there
I'm not in the "youth" age group. I'm already 43 this year, but I would like to share my personal experience. I used to go to Sunday School when I was a kid, then I stopped. For 30 years, I didn't go to church until something bad happened to me. Two months back, I told mom that I wanted to follow her to church once more.
I've been attending church services regularly now, and each time I entered the church sanctuary, I felt a sense of calmness and protection. I also started reading the Daily Bread each day, they've been really inspiring and kept me sane each night when I'm alone.
I hope that I'll meet more brothers and sisters in Christ through YMI, but then, they're all youths. Nevertheless, I do hope this sharing experience benefits all visitors to this blog.
God Bless You all.
Hi Kevin,
Thank you for your sharing. I'm glad that you are going back to church again, and that you've found Our Daily Bread (ODB) helpful in your daily devotion. For your information, you could also share your ODB devotional thoughts on Our Daily Bread Facebook app.
Hey Kevin,
It is just great to know you're in church. It doesn't matter how long it took only I'm sure the angels in heaven are shouting with great joy for you. I pray you stay strong as ever in God and seek Him even through rough times. You can always count on Him to be there. God Bless!!

Hello and Praise The Lord,

I can now get my little girl whose 13yrs old to spend at least 30 minutes on your site everyday during her holidays,and I know shes going to be blessed everyday.
God Bless to all at ymiblogging.
Dear ymiblogging,you have been a heaven sent blessing to my life. I'm able to meditate on God's word daily and i've grown spiritually.thanks to ymiblogging and to all who make it possible. i truly treasure it .
Because i have a busy schedule, it's so cool to have a youth Christian site I can visit anytime. When I feel down and out and in need of spiritual healing, its beautiful to see people inspiring and uplifting one and other here. God be with you YMI!!
You have the app for iOS . what about android ?
Your iPhone app is not working correctly. For the ODB and OJD it's constantly switching and not displaying the latest versions if either.
You should think ok developing an android app for YMIblogging
How??? I want to be a membberr
Is there an expected time for the Android App?

Have You Selected a Pediatrician Yet?
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 05-17-2013 - 12:15pm
Many parents-to-be have discovered it's a good idea to interview possible babydoctors before the baby is born. And though today's health care plans have perhaps severely limited your choice of doctors, most plans still do have some choices. Physicians usually welcome these appointments and do not charge for prenatal interviews, but occasionally some do.
Ask if there will be a fee when you call to make the appointment. Also, ask how much time you'll have with the physician, so that you can pace your questions. Have your questions written down, and take someone with you -- your partner or a friend. One of you needs to take notes. When grandparents live nearby, some parents-to-be bring along their mom or dad, especially if this person will be seeing a lot of the grandchild.
Choosing a Baby Doctor: Ten Questions to Ask Your Pediatrician-http://www.ivillage.com/choosing-baby-doctor-ten-questions-ask-your-pediatrician/6-a-144659?p=1
Have you selected a pediatrician for baby yet? If so, how did you make your choice? What things did you look for when deciding?
|Fri, 05-17-2013 - 1:24pm
When we were looking for a ped for your DD we went to three different offices open houses and selected based on the feel we got from the offices/doctors. We've been very happy with our choice and will be using the same docs for #2 =)

Amazon Fires Up Fire TV Featuring Voice Search And Content Viewing Prediction Capabilities
Amazon today unveiled its Fire TV streaming video device. During the announcement event in Manhattan, company vice president Peter Larsen called the $99 set top box "tiny, incredibly powerful and unbelievably simple." For users, that power and simplicity are designed to be evident in features such as the device's ability to project and preload the content users will want to see and to navigate via voice search.
A statement by Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos reads that, "Our exclusive new ASAP (Advanced Streaming and Prediction) feature predicts the shows you'll want to watch and gets them ready to stream instantly." Movies or tv shows are buffered for playback before users hit the play button, the company says; those choices are made by analyzing users' watch lists and recommendations. As users' viewing habits change, the caching prediction algorithm will adjust accordingly, and personalization capabilities should get better over time as buyers use the Fire TV device.

Who is up for going to Mass & to dinner together that day?
Jerry 645007 from Idaho will be passing through town that weekend and would like to meet some CMers while here.
Hi Lina! I gave some thought to looking you all up a few weeks ago when I landed in your terrific airport. However, my plans took me straight north as they nearly always do. Jerry is a wonderful man. He came to the Chili cook-off in Indy and we all enoyed meeting him. As I recall, he's got a great voice and adds a lot to Mass with his singing. Please say hello to him from his Hoosier friends!
C'mon ladies you're going to scare people off saying I'm coming to town! It's about Catholic singles getting together to make new friends, have some fun and share our faith together And if someone ends up meeting their soul mate, so be it! If nothing becomes of these meeting plans then I will go to mass in Phoenix somewhere and then it will be "Where's Jerry" instead of "Where's Waldo"
Glad you posted, Jerry. I was worried people were thinking I was making up an excuse to get together!
For CM Phx in the Spring, I think it'd be lovely to spend a long day in Sedona. To include Tucson, I'd rely on Patrick for activities there, but I haven't heard from him--he's so busy with school. Sorry, but I'm still on the fence regarding when to have it. I really want to go to Chicago that last wknd of April; my old high school is closing its doors and that wknd is the farewell for alumnae. But money is an issue, and no friends there have stepped up to harbor or chauffeur me. Anyway, so CM Phx's date is still undecided.
As to CM March, it was my understanding that Jerry was just passing through town, and only Mass & dinner were what he had time for.
Jerry, help out here--what are your plans? If you'd like to do more in Phx with CMers while here, give us a time idea & activity idea, please!
I got the word that Jerry has other plans going on, so it's only Mass & dinner.
Sts Simon & Jude Cathedral has Saturday Vigil Mass at 4:30pm.
Then we can do dinner at, perhaps, Arriba Mexican Grill, 18th St & Camelback, or Macayo's Mexican Kitchen on Central near Indian School Rd (centrally located in town to make it fair for all).
Who's interested in participating in some CM fellowship?
(I will post this in the other thread as well.)

How Rural, Conservative Oklahoma Built the Nation's Best Model for Early Education
Four-year-old John Kaykay is a serious and quiet boy—"my thoughtful one," his dad calls him. When the official greeters at the front door of the McClure early-childhood center in Tulsa welcome him with their clipboards and electric cheer—"Good morning, John! How are you today?"—he just slowly nods his small chin in their direction. When he gets to Christie Housley's large, sunny classroom, he focuses intensely on signing in, writing the four letters of his name with a crayon as his dad crouches behind him. When he's asked the question of the day—"Do you like music?"—he pauses for a minute before putting his magnetic nameplate in the "no" section.
John's third day of pre-kindergarten will be filled with more questions. Since yesterday was the 20th and tomorrow is the 22nd, what day is today? Can he pick out the card with the number 21 written on it? If the colors go pink, blue, pink, blue, what comes next in the pattern? How many of his friends are in school today? Can he think of a word that rhymes with dog?
Historically, Americans have operated on the assumption that kids will just somehow pick up such essentials along the way to "real" school. But, with concerns mounting over rising dropout rates and grim earning prospects for poorly educated Americans, the matter of when and under what circumstances we begin to teach children is of growing importance. Guided by research that shows that most of the wiring for future academic accomplishment happens in the first five years of life, education experts have been exploring how to get our children off to a better, and earlier, start. Many point to France and some of the Scandinavian countries, where almost all three- and four-year-olds participate in good, public preschool.
But the United States has several stalwarts of early education, too. Even with budgetary challenges, Georgia, Arkansas, and West Virginia have all managed to create high-quality pre-kindergarten programs with strong enrollment over the past few years. But it is John Kaykay's home state, Oklahoma, that offers the single best example of how preschool can work when it's done well—of how it can elevate its students' learning, expand the horizons of the educational system, and enhance the entire community.
Despite growing evidence of the benefits of early education, nationwide only 28 percent of four-year-olds are enrolled in public pre-K. Among three-year-olds, a paltry 4 percent are enrolled in a public educational program. The numbers could decrease even more as pre-K falls victim to recessionary belt-tightening. States have already cut $90 million from education for three- and four-year-olds over the past two years. Eleven states provide no program at all.
Oklahoma has bucked the national trend. Seventy-four percent of four-year-olds—more than in any other state—are in high-quality pre-K. Virtually every parent who wants a spot can get one, whether in a public school or in a partner organization, such as Tulsa's Community Action Project, which runs John Kaykay's pre-K classroom. The effort has been so thorough and so widely embraced that, in effect, public school in Oklahoma begins at age four.
Even among the states that do well by their preschoolers, Oklahoma is exceptional. On paper, nine states have universal pre--kindergarten, meaning that all four-year-olds are theoretically eligible. But in most of those states, there isn't nearly enough funding for everyone to enroll. That's the case in New York, where fewer than half of four-year-olds participate in the "universal" program. Other states do a superb job with enrollment but a poor job of providing the education. Florida, for instance, has the highest percentage of four-year-olds in pre-K programs—76 percent, slightly more than Oklahoma, according to the most recent "State of Preschool" report by the National Institute for Early Education Research. But because Florida doesn't require its teachers to have a college degree in early education—and because the state spends so little on each child—just $2,422 per child per year, $5,000 less than in Oklahoma—the quality of the program is low.

Luis Suarez scored a magnificent hat-trick as Liverpool saw off West Bromwich Albion with a commanding 4-1 victory at Anfield.
Steve Clarke's team were chasing a fourth consecutive Barclays Premier League win over Liverpool but a virtuoso display from Suarez ensured that was never on the cards.
A solo effort and a stunning 18-yard header gave the hosts a 2-0 lead at the break and Suarez's treble was complete when he converted Steven Gerrard's 55th-minute free-kick.
Although substitute James Morrison handed West Brom a lifeline when he converted a penalty Daniel Sturridge crowned a highly satisfying afternoon for Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers with a breathtaking long-range lob.
Both teams made a solitary change from last weekend's action – Victor Moses dropping to the bench to accommodate Lucas Leiva in the Liverpool line-up, while West Brom forward Saido Berahino suffered a similar fate as Nicolas Anelka started against his former club.
Suarez was at the heart of the action from the off, scuffing wide from 20 yards in the seventh minute before tangling with West Brom defender Gareth McAuley and tumbling in the area.
Referee Jon Moss was not interested in the penalty claims, leaving the Uruguay international to take matters into his own hands with a brilliant 12th-minute opener. Collecting a pass from Kolo Toure, Suarez displayed supreme balance and technique as he burst clear of Claudio Yacob, nutmegged Jonas Olsson and slotted beyond goalkeeper Boas Myhill.
It was 2-0 five minutes later when Suarez worked the ball left to wing-back Aly Cissokho and continued his run to plant a remarkable header into the top corner from the 18-yard line.
Martin Skrtel should have made it three before the half hour, missing his kick with the goal gaping on the back of a cleverly worked set-piece involving Suarez and Gerrard.
Morgan Amalfitano limped off to be replaced by Morrison and apparently complete West Brom's first-half misery but Skrtel was required to make a goal-saving tackle in stoppage time when Anelka rounded Simon Mignolet from Olsson's raking ball forward.
West Brom continued to give away free-kicks in dangerous areas, and, after Sturridge fizzed a viciously swerving effort wide, Suarez completed his treble.
After Yacob earned a booking for fouling Sturridge on the left flank Gerrard produced a sumptuous delivery for Suarez to leap and glance into the far top corner.
Liverpool's attacks were unrelenting – Sturridge blazing over from Glen Johnson's 58th-minute cross before driving at the beleaguered West Brom backline and planting a side-footed effort against the crossbar.
The visitors were handed a route back into the match in the 66th minute, Morrison crashing home a penalty after Cissokho caught full-back Billy Jones on a burst into the box.
Liverpool briefly started to appear ragged but Sturridge calmed Anfield in the most emphatic manner and there was still time for Myhill to touch a Suarez overhead kick onto the bar.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rogers: "We were outstanding today. West Brom are a very good side, they went to Old Trafford and won, so for us to score four goals - and could have had a few more - it was an outstanding team performance. When you have the two boys up front, and that attacking threat, it's fantastic. We're disappointed with the penalty decision but other than that we're very pleased.
"Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge are very hard to contain. Both of them have different qualities and both are goalscorers. I thought our midfield three today were excellent. We're just looking to keep improving, not getting carried away, and the boys at the top end did their job and got the goals. It should be a brilliant game (against Arsenal) next week."
VIDEO: Watch Brendan Rodgers press conference >>
West Brom head coach Steve Clarke: "It was a difficult afternoon. We set ourselves up to be open, but maybe we were a little bit too open. The first goal is disappointing to lose and the second goal is an unbelievable header from the edge of the box.
"We kept going, you can't fault the effort, but we gave ourselves too big a mountain to climb. We created a number of chances, it was an open game, probably great for the Liverpool fans to watch. At the moment their two boys up front are in form and we suffered for that."
