BOZEMAN - For the sixth time in the last seven years, the Montana State women's basketball team ranked among the top 12 in the nation at the NCAA Division I level for combined grade-point average inclusive of all student-athletes on its rosters for the 2011-12 season, announced the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), Tuesday afternoon.
The Bobcats finished 11th overall with a combined 3.456 grade-point average. MSU was the highest ranked Big Sky Conference team from last winter. Northern Colorado (12), Montana (17) and Eastern Washington (25) also ranked in the top 25.
"I am proud of our student-athletes as they have established a standard of excellence as a program with their consistent efforts in the classroom," said MSU head coach Tricia Binford. "We challenge our student-athletes to be dedicated on and off the court, and they continue to impress me with their perseverance. They are not only excellent students, talented basketball players, but wonderful people. This is a great recognition for our program and MSU community."
Eight Bobcat players earned All Big Sky Conference Academic kudos last season, highlighted by junior Rachel Semansky, who earned Second-Team Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All America recognition.
Last year, Montana State ranked 12th overall. MSU's highest academic ranking was fourth during the 2006-07 and 2008-09 seasons. The University of Wisconsin Green Bay ranked No. 1 overall with a 3.616 cumulative team grade-point average.

LOS ANGELES, November 4, 2013 — On a gray day in Shanghai that looked bleak for Dustin Johnson through the opening holes, Johnson finished strong down the stretch to win the HSBC World Golf Championship by three strokes over rivals, Ian Poulter and Graeme McDowell.
Clinging to a one shot lead, Dustin Johnson's chip-in eagle on the short par four 16th hole catapulted DJ into the driver's seat, prompting even Poulter to offer him a "well don sir" fist pump.

For the first time, the WGC-HSBC Champions is now an official part of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup schedule. In addition to Cup points, the winner will receive a three-year PGA Tour exemption. What historically was considered an interruption of the Silly Season, the new PGA Tour 2013-14 season's winter events are official through the season ending tournament next September in Atlanta, Ga.
Sheshan International Golf Club in Shanghai, China, where the unhealthy smog particle levels make 1960s Los Angeles look like Montana's big sky on a spring day, was once again the host setting for the eighth time in the tournament's nine-year history. It was not, however, the smog that Dustin Johnson's opponents choked on down the stretch.
The marquee final pairing with Graeme McDowell and defending champion Ian Poulter looked as if it would go down to the wire. However, score one for American Ryder Cup fans as Johnson took out arguably the two best European players alive. In fact, Poulter holds the best all time record for any Ryder Cup player and Graeme McDowell is no slouch either.
The HSBC is the biggest tournament, as far as World Golf Rankings and even FedEx Cup points that are available, until The Masters. Sheshan International Golf Club, which has hosted the tournament for the eighth time in the event's nine year history. The week at Sheshan International began with 78 of the world's top players on Thursday and came down to three of the best in the world. The most notable absentee was Tiger Woods, who lost a head to head match against Rory McIlroy last Sunday in Beijing.

The made for TV event of Woods versus McIlroy was ironically blacked out in the United States and caused additional controversy thanks to expletives dropped throughout the match by Woods, the game's most famous player.
Such language is a no-no on American PGA Tour broadcasts, let alone Chinese government controlled media telecast. According to SBNation, Woods would later blame the common cold for his outbursts.
Tiger's next opportunity to teach America's friends overseas some of that choice vocabulary will some at next week's Turkish Airlines Open in Antayla, Turkey. Woods will once again host the top 18 international players at the 15th Annual Northwestern Mutual World Challenge outside of Los Angeles in a few weeks, which is also now an official PGA tournament under the newly revamped schedule.

From Iron Butterfly to Madame Butterfly and Back Again -- Working at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Written by Jennifer (Thompson) Thomas '95, music major
Recently, alum Jennifer Thomas found a concert set list written by Elvis himself. "It was one of the awe-inspiring moments that makes this job at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame indescribably cool," she says. (photo by Andy Leach)
Music permeates our lives. It's everywhere: not just on our iPods and radios and televisions but in restaurants and clubs, department stores and doctors' offices, ceremonies and celebrations. It's an unshakable soundtrack, running through our minds, humming in our chests, issuing from our lips, dancing on our breath. Music recalls memories—from hazy ones of riding in a car with my dad as the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun" played on the cassette deck to vivid ones like the flutter of my heart upon handling John Lennon's handwritten lyrics to "In My Life." That was during my job interview at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.
How did I get to work at one of the premier rock and roll research institutions? I often ask myself. Sure, music has always been important to me. Some of my strongest memories of childhood are of my dad playing guitar and singing along to Van Morrison's "Gloria" and jamming on the drum solo from Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and of my mom playing LPs of both classical and rock music, telling me how hearing the Beatles' "Hey Jude" always made her smell yellow rice—a memory from her high school soundtrack—two parts bad cafeteria food, one part jukebox.
I didn't start out at St. Mary's College as a music major—my plan was to do something "practical," like environmental engineering. During my freshman year I took a world music course with Dr. Donald Boomgaarden, now dean at the College of Music and Fine Arts at Loyola University in New Orleans. From the listening selections for the course, I became completely obsessed with the Ramayana Monkey Chant (or Ketjak), an early 20th-century Balinese music drama derived from an ancient exorcism ritual called sanghjang. A combination of chant, song, and dance, it depicts the triumph of good over evil as depicted in the Hindu epic poem, the "Ramayana." I was enthralled with this incredibly unfamiliar sonic experience—the power of the human voice alone. You hear hundreds of men in unison or layered groups percussively chanting "tjak" at varying speeds and in spiraling rhythms with overlapping sung vocal lines. But let's say it's also easy to understand why my friends didn't appreciate having to listen to it on my answering machine. That clinched it for me though − there was all this music out there in the world to discover and so much to sing.
After St. Mary's, a master of library science degree from the University of Maryland-College Park with a specialty in archives, records and information management, a master of arts degree in the humanities from Central Michigan University, and 12 years of professional experience in archives and special collections led me to my current position as head archivist at Rock Hall's new Library and Archives.
In the planning stages since the early 1990s, the Library and Archives for the Rock Hall only recently became a reality when the Metropolitan Campus of Cuyahoga Community College offered to share its Center for the Media Arts with us. The Library and Archives will be the world's most comprehensive repository of written and audiovisual materials relating to the history of rock and roll. In our newly-constructed 22,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility, we will collect, preserve, and provide access to these resources in order to educate people about rock and roll, its roots, and its impact on society. In May 2011, the Library and Archives will open its doors and begin serving the needs of scholars, educators, students, the media, and the general public.
As head archivist, I have set up the policies, procedures, best practices,and workflows necessary to bring in new collections, to process the collections that the Museum has stored for the past 15 years, to digitize collections for access and preservation purposes, and to preserve both analog and digital formats of archival materials for posterity. I oversee a staff of four full-time archivists and many volunteers and interns, all working to arrange, describe, and preserve thousands of boxes of archival material, including personal papers, correspondence, photographs, handwritten song lyrics, business records, contracts, press kits, posters, flyers, concert programs, articles, and newspaper clippings. The collections focus on rock and roll and its precursors (blues, R&B, gospel, and country), plus related music genres (soul, hip hop, and reggae) and subjects like the music business and popular music criticism.
Finally, the Library and Archives will provide access to never-before-seen video footage of the Rock Hall's events and educational programming, including the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies.
The collections of the Library and Archives include the personal and business papers of record producer and Commodore label founder Milt Gabler, Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun, Sire Records co-founder Seymour Stein, and Warner Brothers and Reprise Records executive Mo Ostin— who together discovered many of the artists and produced much of the music that helps to define our rock and roll experience including Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Louis Armstrong, the Drifters, Aretha Franklin, Joni Mitchell, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, James Taylor, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, the Kinks, the Pretenders, the Ramones, Madonna, Depeche Mode, and Echo and the Bunneymen. Our collections contain personal papers of artists Big Joe Turner, Jim Morrison, Rick Nelson, Art Garfunkel, Patti Smith, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Kaye, members of the Talking Heads, the Everly Brothers, Soul Asylum, and Son Volt, among many others.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer's reporter John Soeder, who received a sneak peek of the facility last March, called the Library and Archives the "attic of rock 'n' roll heaven." Our director Andy Leach likes to call us the "Rock and Roll Public Library" and the "Smithsonian of Rock and Roll." The Library and Archives hopes to be all these things to all people − much as rock and roll has proved to be throughout its long and storied history.
Mine has been a singular journey, from classic rock to world music and art music and back again, from listening to music to singing it and thinking critically about its meaning and form and function to my work to preserve access to its history and context. Without the intellectual challenge and nurture I found at St. Mary's, I might have ignored the soundtrack that has been playing in the background of my life, leading me down the "long and winding road" back to music.
Jennifer (Thompson) Thomas, an Aberdeen, Maryland native, graduated from St. Mary's College of Maryland in 1995 with a degree in music. She is the head archivist for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Library and Archives.

How to Install a Bathroom Vanity
Installing a new bathroom vanity isn't that difficult, although it does involve a combination of some basic plumbing and carpentry skills for everything to come together. Watch this video to find out what you need to know. ...More
How to Install a Bathroom VanityBy: Danny Lipford
The first step when installing a bathroom vanity is to cut holes (or a section) out of the cabinet back for the pipes to fit through.
Start by measuring the location of the pipes on the wall both vertically (measuring up from the floor) and horizontally (measuring from a corner or a mark on the wall at the end of the cabinet). Transfer these measurements to the back of the vanity and cut the opening using either a drill or a saber saw. Often factory made vanities have an open back, making this step unnecessary.
Slide the vanity in place, locate the wall studs, and screw the cabinet to the wall at the top and bottom.
Install the faucet and drain on the sink before attaching the top to the vanity with a bead of adhesive caulk. Once the top is in place, attach the supply lines to the faucet and drain pipe and trap to the sink drain.

NEW SOUTH JOURNALISM: From the Archives
Taming the Gorilla*
by Harold Hayes
On hiring, editing, and losing Norman Mailer.
Esquire's September 1971 cover. Courtesy of George Lois.
Of current American magazines, only a few seem to have strong, discernible personalities: The New Yorker, Time, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, New York, The New York Review of Books, The Realist. Measure the personality of each by the singularity of their features. Magazines with weaker personalities run interchangeable articles. Ideally, an article in any one of these publications should not only be unique to the publication; it should be unsuitable for any other. Thus, the editor's personality is the magazine's. Force is gathered by the editor's obtrusion of his preferences in every aspect of his editorial program. With "total staff" magazines, those edited and written on the premises, the opportunity for obtrusion is greatest, the task easier to perform. The articulation of his preferences becomes ceaseless; he expresses judgment over and over to the same people—his writers and editors, who are always at hand. In such working proximity, "yes" and "no" immediately suggests some obvious guidelines. If he is a strong editor, his preferences are difficult to ignore—simply because he is always there.
It is unlikely that The New Yorker "style" derived from Ross's specific direction any more than this, nor was Time's style any more articulated by Luce or Hadden's (though the official literature suggests differently); rather it was more likely the result of strong editors expressing strongly, on a day-by-day basis, what they approved of and what they did not; the result being two magazines' voices that are historically unique. This, together with sine qua non: the existence of certain kinds of talent and the editor's perception to recognize it, hire and encourage it; the Thurbers, Whites, and Gibbs were essential to The New Yorker personality. But their own contributions were necessarily attuned to what they sensed their editor preferred.
There are few editors who sit down and codify their philosophy for the staff.
There simply isn't time.
But how to construct a personality for a magazine that consists only of a small group of editors who must assign articles, photographs, and illustrations to a large anonymous international horde of freelance contributors? Among these contributors working conditions are dreadful. A self-employed writer accepting an assignment from the magazine must invest as much as six weeks to several months in the research and writing. If his piece is unacceptable, he may expect only a fraction of the amount offered. If acceptable, the piece may be purchased but scheduled for publishing, or in some cases not scheduled at all, at the whim of the editor. Though slightly more secure because their profession is better organized, photographers face similar hazards. Rates of purchase never seem adequate to the creative effort expended except in those very rare instances of "major properties" (the memoirs of Anthony Eden brought $300,000 from McCall's; William Manchester's book on Kennedy brought $600,000 from Look). But for most contributors, the magazine business turns out to be not so glamorous as they might have expected. And within such an atmosphere of desperation, choice, and expediency, it is very difficult for an editor to think in terms of building an esprit, a group of steadily improving contributors who would do absolutely anything to make a magazine great and unique, rich with its own original personality. Most contributors are inclined to ridicule the notion. They acknowledge the editor might be so inspired, but mainly because: (1) It's his magazine; (2) He gets paid every month for what he does.
Beyond this resistance, there is also the problem of the competitive market. A new writer is given his first big chance by the editor. He has talent, looks promising, and very much worth the editor's personal, Maxwell Perkins-like attention. No one else will take a chance on him. The editor mothers the writer, even in some ill-advised cases loans him money from his own resources. And then—his hunch pays off! "Overnight" the writer is acclaimed, becomes a personality in his own right, a new voice of the modern age. Instantly, and in many cases, he is offered more money. He moves on, of course, to other markets; and who can blame him?
The modern editor who would build a unique personality for his magazine must be unsentimentally aware of these and other hazards. The talent for his magazine comes and goes; those who stay loyal do not always stay happy or, worse, talented; and those few remaining—talented, happy, and loyal—seldom are able to sustain the betrayal an editor must occasionally commit by rejecting his work, whatever the circumstances. For the great body of freelance contributors—most of them interchangeable as it is, and of varying degrees of incompetence—there is little occasion for the editor to worry. They operate against his building of personality. But a writer with an original voice, a sense of his times, the will to work, strong drives, and the need for one magazine above all others to direct his work—such a writer becomes invaluable to the editor's design. As the writer's voice grows sure, so does the magazine's.
There are innumerable examples of the difficulties of sustaining any but the most formal, commercial relations between such writers and a magazine editor. One of the strongest contributors to Esquire's modern personality was Norman Mailer, and perhaps his history with that magazine, more complex than most, would indicate the character of such relationships today.
Several years before I arrived at Esquire, Norman Mailer had sold a short story to the magazine, the purchase made in the most routine and impersonal fashion through submission by his agent. This was only a few years after the appearance of The Naked and the Dead, when Mailer was still a rather conventional young writer and his eccentricities had not yet turned into public events. There was little held in common back then between the magazine and the author—certainly no sense of a common destiny, as might have been the case thirty years earlier between White and The New Yorker (or with some modification, between Hemingway and Esquire)—and each institution went its separate way until I called his lawyer-agent, Charles Rembar, in 1959 to see a part of his forthcoming book, Advertisements for Myself. As a young editor, I had felt Mailer was becoming a representative writer of our time, and that some of his material might coincide with our editorial intentions, perhaps strengthen our own attempts to broaden the scope of Esquire.

text: From the man who brought you ''Tuesdays With Morrie'' comes another trite-and-true primer on how to live, this time a simpleminded and shamelessly sentimental novel. Eddie, an 83-year-old amusement-park maintenance man, dies in a freak accident while trying to save a child from being crushed under a malfunctioning ride. He promptly ascends to heaven and runs into five people, including his dead wife, a Filipino girl, and an elderly woman in old-fashioned clothes, who help him make sense of his ''ordinary'' life. Here's what he learns: We're all connected, we're all special, and ''strangers are just family you have yet to come to know.'' Given Albom's track record, this skinny little book may become a runaway hit. It's still profoundly icky.

Sat, Apr 26, 2008
The 2008 edition of "Spring Flag", the most important annual
exercise of the Italian Air Force, was hosted by 9o Gruppo and XII
Gruppo, with their Eurofighter Typhoons taking the lead in the Air
Dominance role.
Running from April 4-16, the NATO-organised complex hypothetical
scenario featured two combat forces in a "good versus bad" struggle
to achieve their operational objectives. All aircraft were fitted
with flight recording instrumentation providing the Command and
Control teams with real time data monitoring all manoeuvres carried
out by each aircraft during the exercise. This information is then
used by the exercise co-ordinators for the improvement of aircrew
and ground crew training, as well as offering scope for developing
the overall organisation of the exercise which, in reality, are the
ultimate aims in this kind of operation.
The Spring Flag exercise is planned and executed to verify the
Air Force's deployment capability. Italian officials say the
Typhoons performed remarkably well, building on the successes of
recent deployments to the United Kingdom, Belgium and Spain, and
demonstrating how the aircraft, although still making its first
forays into frontline service, already combines excellent
operational reliability with a logistics support capability to
maintain the aircraft even in the most complex scenarios.
The operations during the exercise have focused on air defence
and ground attack, carried out using Eurofighter Typhoons and
Tornados versus F-16s and F-18s. Also involved were Italian AMX
jets, the so-called "Slow Mover Interception" force of Aermacchi
MB-339CDs, and AgustaWestland HH-3F helicopters.

There was a lot of pressure put on these two to work work their hardest this week for a fast and sharp routine that had to "look like butter or it will be a mess." It wouldn't be an episode of SYTYCD without at least one dance/food metaphor. Marcquet has a lot of work to do with his face while performing. At times he looks like he's holding his breath, if he ever manages to actually look up once in a while. Technically, the dance was strong but the whole cop and robber story line got in the way and in the heads of Jourdan and Marcquet and prevented it from being a real showstopper.
Casey Askew and Brooklyn Fullmer
Style: Argentine Tango, Choreography by Miriam Larici and Leonardo Barrinoneuvo
Music: "Gallo Ciego" from Luis Bravo's Forever Tango soundtrack
One thing we learned from this routine; Casey's hair is just as pliable as his body. Though the woman is usually supposed to be the dominant one, Casey outperformed Brooklyn a little bit. Though the amount of tension and control throughout was extraordinary, there felt like there was still something missing to the piece to completely make it pop. It also kind of appeared that Casey and Brooklyn may just be a tad too young and not quite mature enough to handle the emotional tone and quality of the tango, but it was definitely enough to likely save both of them.
Jacque Luong and Zack Everheart
Style: African Jazz, Choreography by Sean Cheesman
Music: "Dibiza (Kick*** Remix)" by Danny Tenaglia
Well, they certainly waited for the most artistic piece to go last. Jacque and Zack were not meant to be pretty in their animalistic performance, coming to life from an abstract painting wearing matching bodysuits. Once you were able to get past the bizarre but visually stunning concept, the rhythmic style of dance worked in favor for the tapper Zack, though he was able to show fuller extensions with his legs and feet than he probably would be able to normally. Like Jourdan, Jacque was able to show she can still compete outside of her ballerina technical box, but certain choices in the style she chose to perform the style (like a moving mouth that bothered Misty) were a reminder that the box still exists.
After all the dancing had been done and the judges deliberated, Malene and Nick were the first dancers to be sent home. With a weak performance tonight, Malene's beauty couldn't keep her in the competition any longer and it seem Nick may need just a little more time to grow up and become more comfortable on stage.

LAKE FOREST – The City Council voted 4-1 Tuesday to retain Emanuels Jones and Associates to provide the city with legislative lobbying services for the next three years.
The $102,600 contract is set to begin Jan. 1, with two optional one-year extensions.
The city has a contract with EJA through Dec. 31. That contract costs the city $350 less per month than the new contract.
Mayor Scott Voigts voted against the new contract. He said he couldn't approve the item because the cost will exceed by $2,100 the city's $30,000 allocation in fiscal 2013-14 for legislative services.
The dissolution of the city's Redevelopment Agency is among the legislative matters with which has EJA has assisted the city in recent years.

I've ordered several of these 60w magsafe adapters over the past couple of years and they work very well at a much lower cost than Apple's. Ordering and shipping were very fast and the product was delivered as expected. I have had 2 failures and the response to my requests to replace them was immediate and unquestioned. Absolutely great service!
Posted by Tom Jones on 26th Jan 2014
Not a great apple design, the A/C Adapter will wear out long before the computer does. There must be some difference in their power adapters. I have used several of these, and several batteries, and have never been able to see one. A lot of the replacement market is junk. This isn't.
Posted by Unknown on 23rd Jan 2014
I originally ordered this product the macbook power adapter with a T-style tip. When the product arrived it had an L-style tip. Not that big of a concern to me as long as it works i guess.
Posted by Eva on 16th Jan 2014
I read ALL the reviews prior to ordering from this website. I also read reviews for other online stores to help me make the best decision with my purchase. I am happy that I ordered from macbookadapter. The product arrived sooner than anticipated. The power adapter looked in new condition. Also had the Apple logo on the product so i know it's not a knock-off. I recycled my old adapter so it extended my warranty for 2 years. I'm 100% satisfied.
Posted by Unknown on 15th Jan 2014
I ordered a Magsafe adapter, which arrived within a few days and has been working perfectly ever since. A bonus was that I could send in my old adapter free of charge, which also provides an extra 30 days on the warranty (although I'm not sure if that's true for the 2-yr warranty). Overall, I'm very pleased.
Posted by Unknown on 14th May 2013
I couldn't be happier with my new adapter. And the pricing was the best I found. The recycling offer was icing on the cake. I am very impressed with this company.

My original power adapter cable was accidentally split in two so I ordered this one trying to save some money and it Works wonderfully. The only problem I have now is that my battery is fried!

Ten dollar "two day" was simply shipped on-the-cheap by Express mail, and took 3 days. Why was I charged $10 for just USPS Express mail?
But the unit itself performs like new.

Adapter "plug" is a little larger than the other one that came with my MacBook.
Does not fit in my Henge Dock.
Otherwise fine
Posted by Unknown on 25th Jan 2013
the charger works great, and it was delivered much faster than i had anticipated. it was also nice to ship my old charger back to the company for recycling (with no postage needed). the only thing i would note is that the charger exterior appears rough, and has lost its sheen. it seems like the company used acetone to clean the refurbished charger, which breaks down most plastics and would cause that kind of reaction. if this is the case, can i recommend using mineral spirits instead?

Playing the Same Numbers in the Lottery
Many lottery players like to play the same numbers week after week. When asked why they take this approach, the most common response is that the player believes that using the same numbers in some way increases their chances. The popular idea here is that, if a certain set of numbers is played for long enough, those numbers are 'bound to come up sometime' even if it takes years.
Mathematically speaking, we know that this isn't the case. The odds of any set of lottery numbers coming up are exactly the same from draw to draw, so the numbers you played last week will not influence your chance of winning this week. Of course, it could be argued that over an extended period of time, every possible combination of numbers will come up, but this is not guaranteed. Even if it were, if the odds of you winning a jackpot are 1 in 14 million, you would potentially need to play twice weekly for almost 135,000 years to be sure of winning.
That said, there is still something appealing about playing the same numbers from draw to draw. First, playing the same numbers means that we never have to worry about which selections to put on our lottery play slip. Playing the same numbers also means that we can play on a subscription basis – paying for a whole series of draws in advance. And of course, knowing your numbers by rote means that you can check the latest results at any time and immediately know whether or not you've won.
Naturally, there are also potential downsides to playing the same numbers. For example, if you forget to enter the lottery for a draw or two, you may feel a little nervous in case your usual numbers happen to come up. It could also be argued that this sense of nervousness will make you feel compelled to play every draw possible so that you don't miss out on any win that comes along.
Many people choose to play the same numbers based on the ages of friends or family members (most commonly children), and this presents a potential conundrum – namely, what do you do when someone has a birthday? Do you continue playing the numbers as they are or do you change the numbers according to the new ages? Do you play both sets of numbers, and if so, does this mean that you will need to play one more lottery entry after every birthday that comes along?
There are no good answers to these questions, but for the sake of sanity we would suggest that the only sensible way to play the same numbers is to do just that, and avoid adjusting them once you have decided on your initial selections.

Getting Ready:
- If possible, begin your preparation during pregnancy. Though breastfeeding is natural, it is not instinctive. You may find it very helpful to attend breastfeeding classes taught by a certified lactation consultant.
- Get help. Find out if a board certified lactation consultant is on staff at the birth center or hospital where you will give birth.
- Room in. Keeping your baby with you in the hospital allows you to squeeze in a lot of practice breastfeeding in a short amount of time.
- Breast only. Remind the nursing staff that you want your baby to be given no supplementary feeds (formula or water) and offered no pacifiers.
- Nurse early and often. Initiate breastfeeding as soon as possible following your baby's birth and feed your baby on cue -- at least every two to three hours or at least eight to twelve times a day.
Get Started:
- Get comfortable. Find a comfortable, supportive chair and have some pillows handy.
- Lean back slightly and have feet resting on a low footstool, knees slightly raised.
- Unwrap your baby and place her against your bare skin. If the room is cool, cover up with a light blanket.
Positioning Pointers:
- If using the cradle hold you and your baby should be tummy to tummy. Your baby should be on her side, with her body in a straight line from ear to hip. Your baby should be at breast level, supported by pillows if needed.
- With thumb above breast and rest of hand cupped below, tickle your baby's lips with your nipple and allow her to open her mouth widely, as in a yawn. Bring her quickly to your breast.
- If your baby isn't able to get a good mouthful of breast, with close to one inch of the areola/breast tissue, or if you are uncomfortable, gently break the suction by inserting your finger into her mouth. If necessary, calm your baby, and try again.
- When properly positioned her nose should be resting against your breast. You do not need to press your finger down on your breast to create an airway. If you tuck your baby's body in more closely to yours, it will widen the gap a little between your breast and her nose.
