Experts agree that breast is best. The World Health Organization recommends breast milk as baby's only source of nutrition for the first six months of life, followed by continued breastfeeding up to two years of age or beyond [source: World Health Organization]. The American Academy of Pediatrics, meanwhile, encourages six months of exclusive breastfeeding and a year or more of continued breastfeeding, citing numerous benefits for both mother and child [source: American Academy of Pediatrics].
Just because breastfeeding is optimal doesn't mean it's always easy. Studies show that lots of new moms struggle with nursing, particularly in the early weeks [source: Shute]. Along with the need to go back to work and concerns about low milk supply, problems such as pain and latching difficulties rank among the most common reasons women wean their babies early [source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention].
Breastfeeding is a learned skill that requires patience and practice, so women need plenty of support and guidance in order to succeed. Follow these top 10 tips to start things off right.
10. Take a class
In your final months of pregnancy, don't forget about breastfeeding when you study up on childbirth and infant care. If your regular classes don't cover nursing, sign up for an additional course, seminar or private session.
"Postpartum breastfeeding support is always helpful," says Emily Cohen-Moreira, a certified lactation counselor who also teaches childbirth classes and serves as a labor support doula. "But if you can begin to understand the fundamentals of breastfeeding before your baby's birth, you're in a better position to succeed from day one."
Indeed, studies suggest that women who attend prenatal breastfeeding classes are more likely to still be nursing at six months [source: Rosen]. Contact your hospital or local La Leche League Group to see what's available.
9. Breastfeed right after birth
If you have a complication-free delivery, place your naked baby on your bare chest immediately after he or she arrives, Cohen-Moreira advises. "Not only is it a beautiful and memorable experience, but it's a great opportunity to encourage breastfeeding," she says.
Immediate skin-to-skin contact can lead to longer and more successful breastfeeding, research has shown [source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]. Newborns tend to be particularly alert during the first hour of life, and many will begin nursing spontaneously during this time. Talk to your doctor or midwife about delaying nonessential medical care, such as vaccines, so that you and baby can enjoy this unique moment together [source: Office on Women's Health].
Experts also recommend that babies stay in their mothers' hospital rooms rather than in a nursery. This helps new moms learn infant feeding cues and establish breastfeeding patterns as quickly as possible [source: Centers for Disease Control].
8. Wait to introduce a bottle
If your baby's gaining enough weight and nursing regularly, it's wise to avoid bottles in the early days. "Wait until three or four weeks, or until breastfeeding is well established," Cohen-Moreira suggests. "Meals at the breast are slow, and babies spend a long time eating. With the bottle, on the other hand, the rate of flow is constant and fast, so babies can overeat easily. If they realize that a bottle takes less work, they may be less eager to breastfeed."
Don't delay bottles indefinitely, however, especially if you're planning to go back to work or leave baby home with anyone else while you step out. "If bottle feeding is going to be part of the equation at any point, you want to introduce a bottle relatively early and give one regularly, at least a couple times a week," Cohen-Moreira says. "You don't want the challenge of a baby who refuses the bottle when you start working again or simply want to get a babysitter."
Moms who intend to frequently express breast milk for their babies should get a high-quality breast pump and allow extra time for learning how to use it, Cohen-Moreira adds.
7. Take probiotics
Many nursing women suffer from a yeast infection in the breast, known as thrush. They're particularly susceptible if they receive antibiotics before, during or after delivery [source: BabyCenter].
Though common and relatively harmless, it can cause burning or stabbing pain in the nipples, along with other symptoms that include itchiness and sensitivity, Cohen-Moreira says. "Thrush can make nursing very painful, so it should be dealt with right away," she explains. "Call your doctor or midwife so they can prescribe a topical medication or an oral antifungal."
To ward off thrush in the first place, Cohen-Moreira tells all of her nursing clients to take a daily dose of probiotics. Not only can these supplements encourage a healthy balance of yeast, but they're also good for your digestion and baby's too, she says. There's even some evidence that probiotics can ease crying in colicky babies [source: O'Connor].
6. Nip engorgement in the bud
Along with thrush, engorgement is another frequent complaint among new mothers in the early days of breastfeeding, Cohen-Moreira says. Engorgement occurs when the volume of milk in the breast exceeds its storage capacity, causing painful swelling. It tends to strike when your milk comes in during the first week after delivery [source: Walker].
"Learn how to deal with engorgement right away, because it can become a larger problem if it's not addressed," Cohen-Moreira advises. "You can wind up with clogged ducts or mastitis, a painful infection. Also, babies can have a hard time latching on to engorged breasts."
You can relieve engorgement-related discomfort with breast massage, warm compresses and soaking, says Cohen-Moreira. Most importantly, keep nursing your baby to empty your breasts and keep milk flowing.
5. Join a support group
Nursing can be draining -- physically, emotionally, literally. It can also be very isolating when you're cooped up at home struggling with sore nipples, supply issues, a baby who won't latch, middle-of-the-night feedings or a partner who can't seem to empathize.
That's why participating in a group -- whether it's geared toward breastfeeding or for new moms in general -- can be enjoyable and comforting for nursing mothers. "You can sometimes feel like you're going insane when you have a new little one and are breastfeeding around the clock," says Cohen-Moreira. "But it's a shared experience that can seem more manageable when you see that everyone else feels the same way."
Many hospitals, birthing centers and pediatric practices host weekly get-togethers for moms and their newborns, and La Leche League facilitates free monthly meetings in many areas of the United States and beyond. You can also search sites such as Meetup.com for breastfeeding and parenting groups near you.
4. Get comfortable
You'll be spending much of your day with a baby at the breast, so don't settle for an awkward position that leads to neck and back pain, tired arms or, for cesarean section moms, pressure on your incision. "Roughly eight pounds of baby, 12 times a day, while you're recovering from a birth," says Cohen-Moreira. "If you're not totally comfortable, that really starts to weigh on you."
Cohen-Moreira recommends using pillows -- either specially made for breastfeeding or any old cushions -- to help support your body and your baby. It can also help to raise your lap by propping your feet on a stool or large book.
The optimal nursing setup includes everything you need within arm's reach, such as a glass of water, a snack, the remote control and your phone, adds Cohen-Moreira. "With practice and experimentation, breastfeeding should eventually become one-handed or hands-free," she explains. "It makes your life a lot easier when you can eat a sandwich, send a text message or get some work done while feeding your baby."
3. Follow baby's hunger cues
Doctors used to recommend putting newborns on a strict eating schedule, but experts now advise breastfeeding "on demand" -- that is, whenever baby shows signs of hunger [source: World Health Organization]. "Unless a pediatrician says otherwise, nurse as soon as you notice any hunger cues," Cohen-Moreira says.
Crying often means that baby desperately wants to eat, and it's best to offer the breast before he or she becomes frantic enough to start wailing, she explains. Watch your newborn for more subtle signals such as rooting, lip smacking or a hand in the mouth.
As long as your baby is gaining weight and producing enough wet and soiled diapers, there's no need to watch the clock, Cohen-Moreira notes. In fact, it may be perfectly normal for him or her to "cluster feed" -- nurse continuously for several hours -- and then take a four-hour break.
"Cluster feeding is normal and does not mean that you have a low supply," she says. "It's also fine for baby to go more than the recommended two hours between breastfeeding sessions. As long as you have at least eight to 12 feedings in a 24-hour period for a newborn, that should be adequate."
2. Perfect baby's latch
To ensure breastfeeding success, it's important to encourage a proper latch, or how the baby attaches to your breast, from the very first feeding, Cohen-Moreira says. That's because a poor latch can cause pain, damage your nipples and hinder milk production by preventing efficient stimulation of the breasts.
"Our instinct as new mothers is to be a martyr for the baby and suffer through the pain, but it's better for you to get a proper latch as often as possible and unlatch if it's painful," explains Cohen-Moreira. "Use positive reinforcement to teach your baby how to breastfeed effectively. If the latch isn't right, use your finger to break the suction, take them off the nipple and try again. When they achieve a good latch, the reward is that they get to continue nursing."
So what does a proper latch look like? "The baby should have as much breast tissue as possible in their mouth, not just the nipple," says Cohen-Moreira. "Envision the nipple going straight back into the baby's mouth so it's past the gums and the hard palate, in the area between the tongue and the soft palate. If you have a proper latch, the baby's lips are flanged out around the breast tissue, and you'll see a wide angle at the corner of the mouth."
1. Get help early
Whether it's a poor latch, pain, engorgement, thrush, supply issues or any other challenge, breastfeeding problems deserve your prompt attention. "Otherwise, they can snowball into something much bigger and result in an earlier end to nursing than you wanted or expected," Cohen-Moreira says.
If you need guidance while you're still in the hospital, ask to see the lactation counselor on duty. To find an expert in your area, talk to your doctor, midwife or pediatrician, or visit the website of the International Lactation Consultant Association.

Cubs' first-round pick in MLB Draft is no slam dunk
BY GORDON WITTENMYER Staff Reporter June 4, 2014 10:41PM
Updated: June 5, 2014 2:03PM
With about 24 hours to go Wednesday, Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said the front office and scouting department were down to about "a half-dozen" players for the No. 4 overall draft pick Thursday night.
A day earlier, he called the pick "still a mystery."
That last one is probably the most accurate.
If the consensus top three pitchers in the draft go to the three teams in front of them — including the White Sox at No. 3 — the Cubs will face the decision that has led to three-hour debates and long nights of background work, with no internal slam-dunk choice at No. 4.
None of the top three teams in the draft — the Astros, Marlins and Sox — have tipped their hand, leading to widespread speculation they'll take, in some order, North Carolina State left-hander Carlos Rodon, San Diego high school lefty Brady Aiken or 100-mph right-hander Tyler Kolek, a prep kid from Texas.
If that happens, the Cubs are almost certain to select a non-pitcher at No. 4, with the debate including factors such as the players' position and projected willingness to take less than the $4.6 million allotted the Cubs for the fourth slot.
That would allow the Cubs to draft more aggressively in later rounds, offering over-slot bonuses to gain higher quality in their depth.
One longtime major-league scouting executive said many industry insiders believe the value of the No. 4 pick could be similar to the value of picks in the range of the Cubs' second-round pick (No. 45 overall).
Among the position players the Cubs might consider is Florida prep shortstop Nick Gordon, who is the son of former big-league pitcher Tom Gordon and brother of Dodgers second baseman Dee Gordon.
N.C. State shortstop Trea Turner, Oregon State outfielder Michael Conforto, Kennesaw State catcher Max Pentacost and California prep catcher/outfielder Alex Jackson all could be in the mix for the Cubs, depending on the draft-room debate and signability factor.
The only things for sure at this point are that the Cubs need pitching in their farm system and plan for the third year under team president Theo Epstein's regime to stock up on pitchers deep in the draft.
The 40-round draft continues through Saturday, with the top two rounds scheduled for Thursday.
"We probably had a three-hour debate [Wednesday], still walking through guys," Hoyer said. "And we'll probably have one more lengthy discussion tonight as we get through it. … You want to make sure you don't leave any stone unturned with these two picks [Thursday]."
A player's projected ability to handle the North Side fishbowl will be a factor, he said.
"One of the things we focus on a ton is the makeup and figuring which guys can handle [the media] and which guys can handle the pressure," Hoyer said.
That could make a guy like Rodon — who is said to have a confidence level bordering on cockiness — a fit in addition to his power arm and more advanced development than the high school pitchers.
"You're going to play in a big market," said Hoyer, who originally teamed with Epstein and scouting/player development chief Jason McLeod with the Boston Red Sox, "and coming from Boston we learned pretty quickly some guys are going to handle that routinely and other guys are probably better served being in a smaller market."

MOTOROLA February 2, 1995 Secretary Ron Brown Department of Commerce 14th & Constitution Ave., NW Washington, DC 20230 Dear Secretary Brown: I want to reiterate my appreciation to you for including me on the recent Presidential trade mission to India. While the trip was quite productive for Motorola from a business standpoint, I am also glad that I had the opportunity to witness first hand the strong leadership you have given to the U.S. government's advocacy on behalf of U.S. companies overseas. Supporting U.S. exporters is perhaps one of the most significant actions our government can take to increase exports and thereby the number and quality of new jobs in our economy. For many U.S. companies, including Motorola, having the best product at the best price is generally the way to build market share. In some markets, however, the added support of the government is the critical additional factor that can put us over the top and win new and expanded business. You, and your exceptional staff, have established a very positive model for providing strong advocacy that is deeply appreciated by industry. I also want to take this. opportunity to raise for your consideration two requests. First, as you may know, I am very XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX DATA WITH HELD BY U.S. COMMERCE DEPT. XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX business. My Washington office has already provided John Ost all the relevant background material supporting this request. Corporate Offices Secretary Ron Brown Page Two February 2, 1995 My second interest is in the export control system. I recognize that you and the President have taken some bold steps in decontrolling many items. However, Motorola finds that it remains seriously disadvantaged in several areas. First, the controls on semiconductors have not been changed to reflect the significant liberalization of computer controls. We thus find ourselves in the position of being able to export high performance computers to destinations such as China while the controls on semiconductors deter the export of computer components that are two generations older than the personal computer you probably have on your desktop. Even more critical to Motorola, however, is the system of controlling exports of products containing encryption. I do not- wish to get involved in the debate regarding which U.S. agency controls these exports, but the simple fact remains that the controls are administered in a manner that causes us serious competitive harm. A recent example brought to my attention indicates that the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX DATA WITH HELD BY U.S. COMMERCE DEPT. XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Despite our repeated appeals to the concerned agencies, however, Motorola is in a position of not even being able to market such systems with any probability of getting export approval. This could seriously disrupt our business prospects in that important market. The enclosed paper briefly outlines some simple management solutions that could radically alter industry's perception of this problem, and I urge you to use your good offices to rectify this problem. Again, thank you for your continued support to Motorola. Sincerely, Gary Tooker Attachment Encryption Export Controls Problem Statement: The organization and implementation of the USG's export control regime for encryption is cumbersome, slow, unpredictable and costly. For example, interagency referral of licenses can take days for a license to make its way from the State Department to the Defense Department and then on to other agencies. While average license processing time may appear reasonable at about 15 days, this figure masks the numerous, high dollar value licenses that can take three years or more to be resolved. And even the 15 day cycle time is far longer that the 2 day commitment that we understand was made by the State Department. Taking a few administrative steps could significantly reduce the costly burden of these delays on industry and reduce costs to the government as well. Proposed Solutions: Without legislative action, the President could direct several steps that could improve the responsiveness of the myriad organizations that deal with export controls in the government, for example: Delegate to the export control officer appropriate authority for reviewing certain classes of controls, e.g., encryption export controls administered by the State Department at the behest of the National Security Agency (NSA) should NOT be referred for endless delay to the human rights bureau and myriad others in State; and Reallocate staff to meet the workloads, e.g., the single NSA detailee who handles all encryption export licenses for the State Department handles a workload approximating that dealt with by hundreds of other export control-related employees in other agencies. Immediate detailing to State of professional and support staff should be mandated to improve the licensing cycle time for encryption exports. In addition, improvements in the overall export control system could take place if the following were implemented: Co-locate all export control staff, especially the Defense, State, Energy and Commerce staff who waste considerable time coordinating workloads. Co-location of these agencies would force more rational resource management and facilitate improved automation; and Eliminate all unilateral controls on items that are available from any other destination. Such availability makes the control ineffective and a waste of resources.

NBA says announcement coming Tuesday on Sterling
With video report
|Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, right, and V. Stiviano, left, watch the Clippers play the Los Angeles Lakers during an NBA preseason basketball game in Los Angeles on Monday, Dec. 19, 2010. The NBA is investigating a report of an audio recording in which a man purported to be Sterling makes racist remarks while speaking to Stiviano. NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement Saturday, April 26, 2014, that the league is in the process of authenticating the validity of the recording posted on TMZ's website. Bass called the comments "disturbing and offensive." (AP Photo/Danny Moloshok)
The NBA is planning a Tuesday news conference to discuss the investigation into embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who is alleged to have made racist comments in a taped conversation.
NBA spokesman Mike Bass said additional details will be announced, though it's unclear when that may happen.
The news conference is a clear sign NBA Commissioner Adam Silver — in the first real crisis of his short tenure — is both following through on his plan to move quickly on this matter and adhering to a request from the players' union for some sort of resolution in short order.
The Clippers host Golden State on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
"He should not continue owning the clippers," Lakers star Kobe Bryant wrote Monday on Twitter.
Fallout from the Sterling scandal continued Monday, with CarMax — the nation's largest retailer of used vehicles — ending its sponsorship of the team. The company said in a statement it finds the statements attributed to Sterling "completely unacceptable."
"While we have been a proud Clippers sponsor for nine years and support the team, fans and community, these statements necessitate that CarMax end its sponsorship," it added.
Portions of the recordings were released over the weekend by TMZ and Deadspin. Silver's first step in the process was to authenticate that Sterling's voice is on the tape, and while the NBA has not confirmed that it is, Sterling's wife attributed the comments to her husband.
"Our family is devastated by the racist comments made by my estranged husband," Rochelle Sterling said in a statement sent KABC-TV in Los Angeles. "My children and I do not share these despicable views or prejudices. We will not let one man's small mindedness poison the spirit of the fans and accomplishments of the team in the city we love. We are doing everything in our power to stand by and support our Clippers team."
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, the former NBA All-Star who is serving as an adviser to the National Basketball Players Association while the Sterling matter plays out, called it "a massive distraction" to the league.

Professor Michael N Barber brought extensive experience in research, teaching and management to Flinders University when he took up the role of Vice-Chancellor on 1 January 2008.
He also arrived with a desire to broaden the University's existing positive relationship with its various stakeholders. In particular Professor Barber is keen to enhance the University's contribution to the 'new South Australia' with its strong defence and resources sectors.
Believing that well-qualified graduates are the biggest contribution universities can make to the modern economy, Professor Barber's primary focus is to further Flinders' reputation for teaching and research excellence while exploring opportunities that will deliver the skills required by tomorrow's labour market and society, both in Australia and internationally.
Professor Barber's career provides a strong foundation for his ambitions for the University. Educated at the University of New South Wales, where he received first class honours and the University Medal in applied mathematics, Professor Barber received his PhD from Cornell University in the United States in the field of theoretical physics in 1972.
Professor Barber started his academic career as a Queen Elizabeth II Fellow at the Australian National University's Department of Applied Mathematics. He spent a decade from 1974 as a Lecturer, Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor in applied mathematics at the University of New South Wales.
In 1984, Professor Barber was appointed Professor of Mathematics at Australian National University where, in 1990, he became Dean of the Faculty of Science. Professor Barber was appointed Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research) at the University of Western Australia in 1994, a position he held until 2002.
In 2002, Professor Barber broadened his experience by taking up the position of Executive Director, Science Planning at Australia's premier research organisation, the CSIRO. Four years later, he was appointed Group Executive, Information, Manufacturing and Minerals – a position he held until his appointment as Flinders' Vice-Chancellor.

Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester GCB GCVO GBE CI (born Alice Christabel Montagu Douglas Scott; 25 December 1901 – 29 October 2004) was the wife and then widow of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, the third son of George V and Mary of Teck.
The daughter of the 7th Duke of Buccleuch & Queensberry, Scotland's largest landowner, her brothers Walter and William and her nephew John were all Conservative MPs. She was sister-in-law to Edward VIII and George VI and aunt to Elizabeth II. She was the mother of Prince William of Gloucester, who died at age 30, and Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester. Her first cousin, Marian Louisa Montagu Douglas Scott, was the grandmother of Sarah, Duchess of York, wife of Alice's great-nephew, Prince Andrew, Duke of York.
Princess Alice's niece, Princess Alexandra, who was likewise born on Christmas Day, shares the name Christabel in honour of their shared birth date.
Early life[edit]
Lady Alice was born, in Montagu House, Whitehall, London, on Christmas Day 1901 as the third daughter of John Montagu Douglas Scott, Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, and the former Lady Margaret Bridgeman, daughter of George Bridgeman, 4th Earl of Bradford. She was therefore a descendant, in an unbroken male (though illegitimate) line, of King Charles II. She spent much of her childhood in her family's country homes: Boughton House in Northamptonshire, Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfries and Galloway, and Bowhill in the Scottish Borders. She attended the independent St James's School for Girls, in West Malvern, Worcestershire, and later travelled to France and Kenya.
In August 1935, Lady Alice became engaged to Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, the third son of King George V. They were married in a private ceremony, in the Private Chapel, Buckingham Palace, on 6 November of that year.[2] A much more elaborate wedding was originally planned for Westminster Abbey; but after the new Duchess of Gloucester's father died of cancer on 19 October 1935, and in consideration of the King's own failing health, it was decided that the wedding should be scaled down to a more private setting.[2] Her bridemaids were her sister the Lady Angela Montagu-Douglas-Scott, her nieces, the Lady Elizabeth Montagu-Douglas-Scott, Miss Clare Phipps, Miss Anne Hawkins, her husband's nieces Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose of York, her cousin Miss Moyra Montagu-Douglas-Scott and her husband's cousin the Lady Mary Cambridge.
Initially, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester lived in Aldershot, where the Duke was taking the Army staff course. In 1935, the Duchess took a trip to open the new grounds of The Lady Eleanor Holles School. The Duke of Gloucester left the army to take on more public duties following the abdication of King Edward VIII in December 1936. The couple received a grace and favour residence at York House, St James's Palace, London and, in 1938, they purchased Barnwell Manor in Northamptonshire. The Duke and Duchess had two sons:
- Prince William of Gloucester (18 December 1941 – 28 August 1972)
- Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester (born 26 August 1944)
The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester travelled extensively to perform their royal duties. During World War II, the Duchess worked with the Red Cross and the Order of St John. She became head of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) in 1939 as Senior Controller, changed to Air Commandant in 1940, and appointed Air Chief Commandant on 4 March 1943, when she took over as director until August 1944. Later she was promoted to Air Chief Marshal in the Royal Air Force in 1990. She also served as deputy to Queen Elizabeth, the consort of George VI, as Commandant-in-Chief of the Nursing Corps. From 1945 to 1947, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester lived in Canberra, where the Duke was serving as Governor-General of Australia. The Duchess of Gloucester served as Colonel-in-Chief or deputy Colonel-in-Chief of a dozen regiments in the British Army, including the King's Own Scottish Borderers, the Northamptonshire Regiment, the 2nd East Anglian Regiment (Duchess of Gloucester's Own Royal Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire), the Royal Anglian Regiment, the Royal Hussars, and the Royal Irish Rangers (27th Inniskilling); also, the Royal Corps of Transport. She was also the Chancellor of the University of Derby and Patron of the Girls' Day School Trust and Queen Margaret College.
Change of title[edit]
On 10 June 1974, Prince Henry died, and was succeeded as Duke of Gloucester by their second son, Prince Richard (the couple's elder son, Prince William, had been killed in an aeroplane crash in 1972). The Duke's widow requested permission from her niece, the Queen, to use the title and style HRH Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester instead of HRH The Dowager Duchess of Gloucester. The Queen allowed her aunt to adopt this title, in part to avoid confusion with her daughter-in-law, the new Duchess of Gloucester (formerly Birgitte Eva van Deurs). Princess Alice apparently did not wish to be known as a Dowager Duchess and so followed the example of her late sister-in-law, Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, following the marriage of her elder son in June 1961. However, Princess Marina was a princess of Greece and Denmark by birth, a title she did not lose upon marriage. The de facto Dowager Duchess of Gloucester was allowed to be known as Princess Alice as a courtesy from the Queen. Although neither born nor created a princess by letters patent, the Princess was entitled to style herself as a British princess due to her recognised marriage to a prince who was the son of a monarch[citation needed] (See: British princess). Normally, non-royal women who marry royal princes are styled "[her own Christian name], Princess [husband's Christian name]"; only princesses by blood are styled "Princess [her own Christian name]".
Later life[edit]
In 1975, Princess Alice was the first woman to be appointed a Dame Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath. In 1981, she first published her memoirs under the title The Memoirs of Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester. In 1991, she released a revised edition as Memories of Ninety Years.
In 1994, after the Gloucesters had to give up Barnwell Manor for financial reasons, Alice moved from Barnwell to Kensington Palace, where she lived with the current Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. In 1999, the Duke issued a press release announcing that due to physical frailty, his mother would no longer carry out public engagements outside the environs of Kensington Palace. In December 2001, the Royal Family held a ceremony to acknowledge Princess Alice's 100th birthday. This was Princess Alice's last public appearance (as well as the last public appearance of Princess Margaret, the Queen's younger sister, who died on 9 February 2002). On the death of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother at age 101 in March 2002, Princess Alice became the oldest living member of the British Royal Family.[3] On 21 August 2003, Princess Alice surpassed The Queen Mother's record as the oldest person in the history of the British Royal Family.
Princess Alice died on 29 October 2004 in her sleep at Kensington Palace at age 102. Her funeral was held on 5 November 2004, at St George's Chapel, Windsor, and she was interred next to her husband, Prince Henry, and her elder son, Prince William, in the Royal Burial Ground at Frogmore. The Funeral was attended by Queen Elizabeth II and other members of the British Royal Family. A memorial service was held at St Clement Danes on 2 February 2005, which was attended by her son and his family and representatives of organisations Princess Alice was involved in; the service was co-ordinated by the Royal Air Force in respect of Princess Alice's role as Commandant-in-Chief WRAF.

Funding | News
Sixteen states and the District of Columbia are competing for $280 million in federal in federal funding through the latest round of the Race to the Top–Early Learning Challenge.
According to the United States Department of Education, recent applicants included Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Individual awards are expected to range from $37.5 million to $75 million based on the states' proposals and their "share" of preschool-aged kids from low-income families.
To date, 14 states have received funding under the program — nine in 2011 and five in 2012. Those states that are currently receiving funding through the previous RTT–ELC were not eligible to apply in this round.
RTT–ELC, part of the Race to the Top initiative, is a federal program that was developed as a means to help states overhaul their early learning systems with "better coordination, clearer learning standards, and meaningful workforce development." RTT–ELC is administered jointly by the ED and Department of Health and Human Services.
The overarching goal of the program is the establishment of state early learning systems. The program also aims to bring preschool into the high-stakes testing arena with the establishment of accountability systems for schools and for the preschoolers themselves the development of "common standards within the state and assessments that measure child outcomes, address behavioral and health needs, as well as inform, engage and support families," according to ED. The program is also geared toward providing professional development for those working within early learning programs.
ED reported that winning states will be notified of their awards in December.

What did you not know about going into your home study? What changes did they ask you to make that maybe surprised you?
Were you told to lock up cleaning chemicals?
Anything you found odd or different?
I'd love to hear about your experiences and what you took from it.
We went into it pretty prepared. DH was most concerned about how invasive the HS would be, so he spent a good hour on the phone with our SW, who walked us through the process. By the time we got to it, we were good
No, we weren't told to lock up cleaning chemicals.
I was surprised that the safety stuff wasn't really emphasized. Our SW had never heard of a fire escape ladder, and we had 2!
It was really pretty easy. Most of the meetings we had pre-walkthrough were stuff based on our autobiography. The actual walkthrough was 45 minutes, and kind of fun.
From what I can tell, it's really only in foster home studies that they address things like locking up medicines and the storage of dangerous substances/chemicals.
Like all the rest, I was stunned at how little of the 4-visit home study was about the house, and how much was about us, our families, our relationsp, our community and support network, how we planned to parent, etc.
15 treatment cycles: four early m/c
Moving forward with domestic infant adoption!
Home study approved 5/13, now just waiting...
Ours was for fostering, but I agree with previous posters. I was amazed at how easy it was. She pointed out a few things we needed to change for our fire inspection and we talked about our animals a lot (but we foster those as well and she needed all that info).
All of our chemicals are in an outside storage unit. I thought she was going to tell us we needed a lock for it, but instead she said "I'll let you be the gauge of if that's necessary depending on the kids that are in your house." So other than a locked cabinet for medicine, we really didn't have to do much.
I haven't had my home study yet, but during our IA course it was talked about and they said that the cleanliness of the house was the least of their concerns. They even said that if the house was not super clean, it actually might look better for you because it means you can handle the mess of a child! Obviously not like unhealthily messy, but just normal clutter and living mess. I have no idea about the safety stuff, but they did also mention that the reason for the home study is to see you in person and talk to you in person about your life and reasons for adopting, child rearing plans, etc, etc... and if you have other kids they talk to your kids too. So what I took from that was that it was more to see you in your home on your turf rather then go over your house with a fine tooth comb.
This was for international adoption via my province though. It would be different province to province and state to state I would assume, as well as type of adoption.
Daughter #1 - February 12, 2010
natural m/c March 11, 2011 at 8 1/2 weeks
Daughter #2 - January 11, 2012
Ectopic pregnancy discovered November 6, 2012 at 6 weeks
Daughter #3 - January 19, 2014
Started our exploration into the world of international adoption June 2012. We have no idea what this is going to look like but we are excited to find out!

yes and yes,the evaporator and heater core are in the same plenum.
Answer #2Visitor, May 14, 2011, 17:28
On most cars,, except a lot of toyotas, you do need to discharge the a/c system in order to remove the heater core, because they are both in the same location. (the heater box, or sometimes called the evaporator box).
Toyotas are designed in such a way that you can remove the heater core without removing the evaporator, (the evap box can be split without removing it from the car)
All other manufacturers do not have this ability.

A Slippery Slope
Somehow, I've made plans for two trips to Vail this ski season — and they're within 30 days of each other! As I've mentioned before, I'm not a big fan of skiing. I just don't get the crazy high that so many people get (perhaps because I'm just not that good at it). But I love what skiing represents — good friends, lots of laughs, warm fires, and warm drinks. It's always a very comfy, cozy scene.
On page 30, we have a story about a guy and some friends who skied at seven different ski resorts near Salt Lake City in one day. To me, that just sounds nuts. I mean, there's absolutely no time to visit the mountaintop restaurant or to sit in the hot tub and enjoy the scenery. They scarfed down pizza in a parking lot, for goodness' sake!
It's an interesting challenge nonetheless, and it makes for a great story. And I'm sure there are many of you who, after reading the story, will want to try it out for yourself. If you do, please write to us and let us know how you fare.
Recently, some of you have suggested I take on a different kind of challenge. In my December 15 Editor's Note — yeah, the one that "the Geek" wrote (if you didn't see it, I will begrudgingly admit that it was quite good, and I would highly recommend you go online and read it) — Wes Besio (the Geek) kindly provided a count of how many first-person pronouns I used during the year. This encouraged many of you to write in and suggest that I try writing a column without referring to myself.
I was really up to the challenge, and I even spent the last couple of weeks thinking about how I would do it and what I would say.
But the conclusion I've come to after all that thought is that I don't think I can do it. I know, I know; it shames me to admit defeat without even having tried. But I simply can't help myself. Without my injecting some sort of personal touch into this column, it just seems so boring.
For those of you who are disappointed, I'd love for you to write a column for me. Perhaps I can learn by example. That is cheating a bit on my part, I suppose, but if you get the results you're looking for, perhaps it's also a brilliant plan.
Or maybe I should just take baby steps and start with a paragraph. Let's see …
In this issue, two of our most prolific writers bring you stories on two phenomenal places. Mark Seal spent some time with Eva Mendes and talked to her about Rome, one of her favorite cities. On page 64, Kevin Raub writes about an adventure he had in New Zealand. Like with the ski story, you may find yourself thinking of following in the writer's footsteps — or tire tracks, as the case may be.
Phew! I did it! And it wasn't all that hard. But is it interesting? Would you want to read a whole page of it? Wouldn't it have been more interesting if I had also told you about my trip to New Zealand, which made me think I might have a career in sheepshearing? Or my trip to Rome, where ... wait, I've never been to Rome. Can you believe that? I've been to Italy four or five times and still haven't made it to Rome!
It may not be more or less interesting. But instead of making me guess, tell me what you think. Do you prefer the version with no mention of me (sniff, sniff)? And if so, do you have suggestions as to how you think it could be better?
In the meantime, I think I'll go sign up for snowboard lessons. At the very least, I'll have something to talk about when I get back.

When Jeremy Lawson found out Nov. 5 that lawmakers voted to legalize gay marriage in Illinois, he was ecstatic.
Yes, Lawson is gay and has been in a nine year relationship with his partner, Jarrod Gaither, but there's more to why the historic decision means so much.
To Lawson, an Evanston based photographer who specializes in weddings, gay marriage may mean more business.
"This is going to bring a lot of gay weddings in the near future because people have been waiting for this, and it's a big deal to them," said Lawson, the nine-year owner of Jeremy Lawson Photography. "Since Tuesday, people I know in the wedding industry have already been contacted about space rentals."
Lawson isn't the only vendor who thinks the new law will increase wedding business.
"I have historically sold and made wedding bands and engagement rings for gay couples," said Gayle Inbinder, a 35-year veteran in the jewelry business and the owner of Wilmette Jewelers. "This is a new business opportunity in that the legalization of gay marriage will cause more couples to formalize their relationship through a ceremony, and that will mean buying rings."
"To me this means more opportunity," said Debbie Tucker, an event planner and the owner of her Northbrook-based company, Eventure. "People getting married typically want to celebrate with friends and family in a big way, and that usually means a party. It's no different than a heterosexual couple, it's just more people wanting to celebrate a joyous occasion."
Dr. Stephen Burnett is a professor of management and strategy at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, who said he believes legalizing gay marriage will have a positive impact on revenues in the wedding industry.
"The financial crises and the recession has had an impact on discretionary spending," said Burnett, who has taught at Northwestern for more than three decades. "Weddings are definitely considered discretionary spending, and so we've seen that industry in the doldrums, but suddenly, having a lot more weddings is going to impact that."
Burnett also said the industry might see an emergence of new competitors who are specifically targeting same sex ceremonies.
"I don't specialize in gay weddings, but I've done many of them," said Lawson, who explained that he shot a gay wedding last September and a lesbian wedding last month.
When asked if he saw a difference in the mood of a gay wedding versus the wedding of a heterosexual couple, Lawson said that even though both occasions are celebratory and happy, he does detect a slight difference.
"A lot of gay couples who get married have been together for so long, and have waited to have a ceremony," he said. "So when they finally go ahead and do it, it's very relaxed."
Lawson also said now that gay marriage is legal, he believes couples will tie the knot after being together for a shorter amount of time.
And when it comes to his own situation, Lawson said he and his partner will most likely have a ceremony soon.
"It's something we are looking forward to," he said.
"It doesn't matter if our customers are two men or a man and a woman," said Inbinder. "We're in the business of celebrating anyone's love and commitment."

I would be immediately suspicious of a gnocchi recipe that didn't use
butter. Maybe you can make up for it by serving them with some
browned butter sauce and ham?

Physicist Hill Tapped to Lead Magnet Lab's EMR Program
July 28, 2008
Media Contact:
Amy Mast (850) 644-1933
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Longtime Magnet Lab collaborator Stephen Hill has accepted a position as director of the Electron Magnetic Resonance (EMR) user program and as an FSU physics professor, cementing a relationship that has been building since Hill's postdoctoral work with the lab nearly 14 years ago.
Hill comes to the lab from the University of Florida, where he was an associate professor of physics and a Magnet Lab affiliate. He said he's looking forward to strengthening the connection between his own considerable international base of collaborators and the Magnet Lab's established user community.
"My first stop in the U.S. after my Ph.D. was Tallahassee, when I spent two years working with Jim Brooks. I've been coming back ever since," said Hill, who received his doctorate from the University of Oxford. "I look forward to both helping to integrate those communities more fully and to conducting my own research, which fits in very well with what's going on at the lab," said Hill.
Hill added that the academic ties between the universities make the transition a smooth one. "Both schools are strong in ways that complement one another, and I hope to have a hand in expanding what could be a very fruitful dialogue."
Said Magnet Lab Director Gregory Boebinger of Hill, "Steve's got a great vision for the future of EMR, and we see his knowledge of UF physics and chemistry as an opportunity to further cement the collaborative relationship that's been growing for some time."
A search committee led by outgoing Interim EMR Director Peter Fajer tapped Hill for the leadership position. Magnet Lab Director Gregory Boebinger said he's grateful for Fajer's leadership over the past two years.
"I give my heartfelt thanks to Peter for his service as interim director when we needed him most, during which time he and his colleagues returned the Mag Lab's EMR program to prominence and great promise," said Boebinger.
Fajer said he's pleased with Hill's hire. "Steve was recognized by a committee of international experts as a leader in the physics of ultra high field EPR. His expertise will allow us to perform experiments at the highest available magnetic fields of 45 tesla, and to develop the free electron laser, an ultra-bright light source that represents the future of microwave and infrared spectroscopy."
Hill's official start date is Aug. 8, 2008.
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory develops and operates state-of-the-art, high-magnetic-field facilities that faculty and visiting scientists and engineers use for research. The laboratory is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the state of Florida. To learn more visit www.magnet.fsu.edu.
