Los Angeles home for unwed mothers now a family center to address 'the bigger picture' Comments
LOS ANGELES, CA (The Tidings) - A century ago, when the Ford Motor Company first introduced its classic Model T touring car and before women's suffrage, St. Anne's maternity home for unwed pregnant women was founded by Bishop Thomas Conaty in Los Angeles. Continue Reading

I was born at St Anne's in 1972. My mother was 17 years old when she got pregnant and my grandmother kicked her out of the house. Under age, no place to go, St. Anne's was a refuge. They gave her a place to stay, helped her finish High School, and gave her a second chance.
Thank you St. Anne's for helping young women in need, at a very scary time in their young lives.
My prayers go out to all searching for answers.

My Mother gave birth to a baby girl on October 7, 1935 and I have just found out that I have a another sister. I know she was in a home for unwed mothers and was hoping maybe it would be your home. My Mother's name was Lillian Prudence Donovan and she named the little girl Sharlene Dee. I believe her Doctor's name was something like Dr. Tollefson. I would appreciate any information you might have or could suggest the names of other homes available during 1935.
Thank you for all your help.

I gave bith to a baby girl on december 15 1987. I named her Sara Washington, I think that the adoptive parents kept the name Sara, it was an open adoption. I was 16 at the time and through lifes trails I lost contact. 1989 was the last time I recieved any pictures. Sara was born at Queen of Angels Hospital .I have been trying to renew my contact and would greatly appreciate if you could look through the files and contact me , I would like to give them a new address so that Sara can contact me if she wants to. The adoption took place in Los Angelos while I was living at St.Marys.

My mother gave birth to a son at St. Anne's on January 14, 1970. Her name at the time was Sandra Gutierrez and she named the baby Jason Scott Swendler. She would like to know if there is a birth record and if it is possible to leave contact information for her son. Thank you.

I believe that my mother was at St. Anne's and gave birth to a baby (girl?) in about 1942-43. I think she was about 14 at the time. I got this from my father, now deceased.
Is there any way you can confirm or deny this? although I yearn to know this person, I have no wish to disrupt her life by contacting her.
I would only like to know if the child was placed up for adoption or if it died.
I feel so anxious inside from not knowing the rest of the story.

Question - I was born at St. Annes Maternity Hospital on September 24, 1970.. Is there anyway I can review St.Annes "in-house records" for women who gave birth at St. Annes on that day?
Please contact me at:
5 years ago
I was told that my mother was at St. Annes back in 1951 or 52 possibly 53. Did the St Annes for unwed mothers use to be on Grammercy St? Did you use to house young teenagers even if they were not pregnant and how could I find out if she was there? She is deceased.
Thank you for your time

My mother might have been living here while pregnant with me. I am adopted and was born 1-15-1970. I was born in Los Angeles, CA and adopted in Santa Barbara Co., CA. My mother may have had the last name Gil and my birth father may have had the last name Parker. I think I was named Christopher. My mother was 17-19 years of age during her pregnancy. She was a waitress and my father was in college. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if anyone has any info.

I was a "patient" at St.Annes in 1969-70, for 6 months. I was 16 years old and gave birth to a male, 1/31/1970 at 0131 in the morning. Is there any way to find out if he has tried to locate me?

Whether it's a blizzard, hurricane, earthquake or tornado, you want to be prepared when a disaster strikes. That's especially true when caring for a child with special needs. "For some children with special nutrition needs, specific foods, formulas or methods of eating are essential," says Sharon Feucht, MA, RD, CD, a registered dietitian at the Center on Human Development and Disability at the University of Washington. "However, in a disaster most of these will not be readily available at sites set up to help those who have experienced an emergency."
If you care for a child with special needs, disaster preparedness is critical. Here's how to make sure you're not taken by surprise:
Despite the best plans, power outages may make it difficult to keep food and formula fresh. Even if you are able to remain in your home, a local emergency shelter may be able to provide a refrigerator to keep food and formula safe, help you recharge batteries and provide medical care.

Certified Nurse Midwife - Masters degree or more? - page 3
What are the degree requirements to be a CNM in the near future (2015)? Will you now need a Doctorate degree like with Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants. Or is it still just a Masters degree? I always wanted to be a... Read More
- 0Jan 5, '13 by JoyforlifeCongratulations to you, arabianeyez83! Please share your thoughts on Wayne States CNM program. Particularly, how prepared did you or do you feel to help mothers/couples who desire to birth in alternative hospital settings?
- 1Feb 8, '13 by pro-studenthttp://www.midwife.org/ACNM/files/ccLibraryFiles/Filename/000000002731/Practice%20Doctorate%20in%20Midwifery%20Sept%20201 1.pdf
The ACNM has no plans to change the entry into practice degree for CNMs to a doctorate. They do support midwives that choose to pursue doctoral degrees including the DNP but don't feel there is any reason to mandate a change in education requirements. Too bad people haven't realized this for other APNs.
With all the hype about EBP in DNP programs, you would think that would have looked for evidence that a change in degree requirements was necessary. NPs and all other APNs have been providing high quality care without a doctorate as the entry-to-practice for decades and there is no information to suggest that the master's prepared APN model way inadequate.

|(CBS) For the first time since the CBS News Poll began asking the question, a slight majority of Americans favor the legalization of marijuana use. Fifty-one percent say they think the use of marijuana should be made legal, while 44 percent do not.
Public opinion on this issue has changed dramatically over the past few years: in October 2011 a slight majority (51 percent) opposed making marijuana use legal, and as recently as April 2013 public opinion was divided on this issue (45 percent supported, 45 percent opposed).
Interestingly, in July 1979, when CBS News first asked the question, 69 percent thought marijuana use should not be made legal and only 27 percent thought it should be made legal
Over the past year, his approval rating has mostly hovered in the mid 40s and has not hit the 50 percent mark since February of last year.
His 46 percent approval is up four points from December (42 percent) and up from his all-time low of 37 percent in November.
As the president begins his sixth year in office, his approval rating is slightly higher than that of George W. Bush at a similar point in his presidency (42 percent approval in January 2006), but lower than the ratings of both Bill Clinton (56 percent in January 1998) and Ronald Reagan (65 percent in January 1986).
Americans remain mostly pessimistic about where the country is headed.
By a large margin, more think the country is on the wrong track (61 percent) rather headed in the right direction (33 percent). These percentages have changed little over the past year.
See the entire Obama poll below
This poll was conducted by telephone January 17-21, 2014 among 1,018 adults nationwide. Data collection was conducted on behalf of CBS News by Social Science Research Solutions of Media, Pa. Phone numbers were dialed from samples of both standard land-line and cell phones. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups may be higher. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish
Making Marijuana Legal: The Demographics
Views that marijuana use should be made legal have risen across nearly every demographic group since April 2013:
---Support has increased among both men and women, but there remains a gender gap. Most men (57 percent) think marijuana use should be made legal, while fewer women (46 percent) think so.
---Most Democrats (59 percent), independents (54 percent), liberals (72 percent), and moderates (54 percent), support legalizing marijuana use.
---However, most Republicans (61 percent) and conservatives (61 percent) oppose legalizing marijuana, though support has risen among these groups as well.
---Support for legalizing marijuana use has risen six points among Americans earning under $100K a year (50 percent now vs. 44 percent), and 12 points among those earning $100K or more (64 percent now vs. 52 percent)
Medical Marijuana
Americans support the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes in overwhelming numbers. Eighty-six percent think doctors should be allowed to prescribe small amounts of marijuana for patients suffering from serious illnesses. Americans have supported medical marijuana use since 1997 when CBS News began asking the question, though then 62 percent thought doctors should be allowed to prescribe marijuana for medical use.
Still, a majority of Americans show some skepticism about the medical marijuana programs that exist today. Just a third of Americans think most of the marijuana that is being purchased in this country through state authorized programs is being used to alleviate suffering from serious medical illnesses. Most – 56 percent - think it is being used for other reasons.
Nevertheless, 77 percent of Americans who think most of the medical marijuana purchased is being used for other purposes still think doctors should be allowed to prescribe medical marijuana.
Who Should Decide: Federal Gov't or States?
Marijuana use remains illegal under federal law, though a majority of Americans don't think this is a matter that should involve the federal government. Sixty-two percent say legalizing marijuana should be left up to each state government to decide.

.- The Italian Conference of Catholic Bishops has purchased a controlling interest in an Italian soccer club. The acquisition of AC Ancon, a team top in its division, was financed by a group of Catholic businessmen.
Under the new ownership home game prices will be cheaper and profits from the ball club will fund charitable work in the Third World.
New club rules are also in the works. Fans will be forbidden to taunt and insult opponents, and offensive banners will not be allowed in the stands. Players will even face mandatory volunteer work for foul play on the field.
Archbishop Edoardo Menichelli of the archdiocese of Ancona-Osimo explained the goal of the project: "We want to bring some ethics back into the game, which has been undergoing a grave crisis in terms of sportsmanship." The soccer leagues in Italy have recently been in the spotlight for a series of bribing and kickback scandals.
Andrea Staffolani, a 24-year-old striker for AC Ancona, spoke favorably of the new rules: "We have not been told all the details about the new ethical code, but we like what we have read so far."
"The team has played well and fairly on the pitch until now anyway, and we hope to keep it that way," he added.
After the deal is finalized on October 10, the team will have an audience with Pope Benedict XVI. Staffolani expressed enthusiasm for the event: "We cannot wait to meet the Pope. All of us are delighted, believers and non-believers. It will be emotional."

The Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) has announced that Luther College softball player Shari Huber was named the IIAC Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending Sunday, March 31, 2013.
Huber, a senior, batted .333 with a .606 slugging percentage while helping lead Luther to a 10-2 mark on its spring trip to Florida. She had 12 hits, including four triples, in 33 at-bats from her leadoff spot in the lineup. Huber also drove in 13 runs, scored 16 others, drew 10 walks, was hit by a pitch and was a perfect 3-for-3 in stolen base attempts. She was also perfect in 10 fielding opportunities. She registered only two multiple-hit games during the stretch, but had five multiple-RBI games.

Local races my aim is to finish ahead of 1st lady as that is about the pace I aim at. Bigger races not so much - although London I was ahead of 99% . Local races anyone who gets past and stays ahead gets encouragement and a well done. It is racing after all so whoever is around me I will try and beat.
I usually do some hill repeats - once a week intervals and hill repeats on alternate weeks and then try and add as many hills into medium and long runs as I can. Some gym work can strengthen legs which can help with the downhills as well.
For me, another marathon next month, then June is Dartmoor discovery(32miles) and a 24hr race! Shall be back at London next year too.
DT I'm sure if he explains and adds his garmin trace on the GFA application he should still be ok
No refunds, paying upfront no better. GFA is guaranteed - not guaranteed they won't move the goalposts again so best to get well within. Lots of other lovely UK marathons . did London Sunday and must admit it was a great atmosphere and ran a GFA so I will go back.
If you're inspired then go for it. If you have already managed a HM with no problem another year or so of consistent training and you can certainly finish a marathon if time is not the main aim. That inspiration will see you through the training. you will be v lucky to get in via ballot first time so look at having a backup if you want to do one next year.
i dived in at the deep end at VLM 2010 (not recommended!) my running career started with training for that - got round in 4:43. Returned on Sunday to run 3:07.
carterusm for a 50k I don't generally do back to backs. Basically follow a marathon program and have a max long run of 22-24. With your target race you would be better of doing specific hill training rather than back to backs. I generally only add in those for 50 miles +. Seems like you are in good shape anyway so a hilly 50k is well within your ability.

Phil was the one with the really shit orange flag.
Phil was the one with the really shit orange flag.
that was the one, must be a pain running with that strapped to you
There is video feed on the finish line so they should be able to pick you up if you give them you finish time.
Sounds grim Wenty, hope it heals up quick.Well done John - good to see some of us made it!Unlucky Marky - similar happened to a mate running it - he took 44min for the last 5k.
Just after the merge there was a pacer about 200m ahead of me from Blue start which must have been Phil. I was on pace and the gap was the same until I had to stop and by the finish time he got it right - as we'd all expect. Don't know about the red start ones but I think being a pacer is pretty tricky and tough to please everyone so kudos to anyone who volunteers.I also kind of think that anyone aiming for sub 3 should be more than capable of pacing their own race

Today started off disappointingly. My scale tipped up a little bit when it should have been plunging down. I have done everything right as far as I know, but tell that to the (expletive deleted) scale. It may be that I need to up my calories from the 1200 or below, to at least 1300. It scares me to do that.
Anyway, last night DH and I went out on our weekly 'date night' to a little restaurant near by, and I ordered fish since we don't often have that at home. We usually each order a full dinner and take half of it home for the next day---which we did.
Tonight I finished off my cajun grilled catfish, and the other half of my baked potato, added a salad and spinach and feel utterly full! This little procedure of mine has an ulterior motive other than health issues. Come next day, heat the stuff and presto, our dinner is ready.
So, I'll add a bit more to my calorie intake, so my body doesn't think it's starving, and wait impatiently until my next weigh in (Monday) to see what happens.
I'm really under a bit of pressure here since I had planned and hoped to reach my goal of 136 by the end of my 28-Day Plan. That's 3 pounds ---1.361 kg--- with only 11 days to go!
Surely, I won't blow it! !
Now, I've decided that when I want to reward myself for something---anything!---that I'll give MYSELF a Goodie. How else can I get all the wonderful exercise thingies, workout stuff , beautiful flowers...things that I deserve?
Case in point. I made this yummy (translate healthy) rice pudding last night, recipe courtesy hungrygirl.com, and it was ready for me this morning. It makes two big servings. One serving seemed like such a lot, that I divided it and ate only half. Ordinarily I could easily have eaten it all with no problem, but I, with an imaginary halo above my head, put the rest in the fridge for a later snack to have in the afternoon.
That deserves a Goodie for sure. In fact, I'm spending my entire 500 Points on a Personal Trainer that I've been yearning for.
So what is the point? There's a thing called Portion Control. Point is, I really don't need as much as I used to think I needed to be satisfied. If I spread my calories out, it'll save me calories throughout the day. And that will help me reach my goal by the end of my Plan in two weeks.
Really? My goal to lose the last 3 pounds in the next two weeks doesn't sound like much. In fact it should be a snap. But I've seen times when my weight was at a plateau for that long. Will my scale betray me again? Some things aren't always as cut and dried as they're cracked up to be.
But back to the main point... if I keep this up, I can really rack up the Goodies.
Today I am half way through my 28-Day Breakthrough Plan. Phenomenal! I'm excited, having lost 2.30 pounds THIS week! My first week showed no weight loss whatever... but no gain either. That taught me what I needed to do to maintain. And also that I needed to readjust my Plan.
I lowered my calorie range from around 1500 to 1200 calories. I didn't do formal exercise for the week because I was home-bound with a sickee bug of some kind. But I faithfully drank my water, and walked the stairs often as well as doing bends and stretches.
Starting tomorrow, I think I can go back to the Y for exercise, maybe not the usual strenuous water aerobics, but brisk walking on the Y track.
But I know that getting to my first goal of 136 on the Plan is only the beginning. I'll continue on to my second goal of 132, perhaps after a brief time getting my bearings. That's My Plan, and I'm sticking to it!
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my Plan.
To expand a bit on a previous blog---I have been housebound for almost a week due to an alien 'bug'---and unable to go to the Y for my usual exercise of walking and water aerobics. It could as easily have been stormy weather, or an emergency of taking care of some urgent business.
So I have invented my own stay-at-home-exercise. I'm sitting at my computer (or TV) spellbound by all the interesting stuff. But I also have my trusty timer setting on my desk, It is set for 30 minutes. When it goes off, I am up and walking around the house, up and down the stairs, stretching and bending for a few minutes. And I've added this---drink a cup of water before I sit back down.
Today is Day 13 of my 28-Day Breakthrough Plan. No, I am not superstitious, but the number 13 did give me a little pause...I shall be extra careful not to stray off track and give my fickle scale the satisfaction of saying, �I told you so!�
I've done a little editing on my Spark Page, added a couple pictures, commented on a couple blogs, tracked my Nutrition, and such. And I've kept my promise about not weighing in again until tomorrow (Monday) to see where I'm at scale-wise. Possibly you are waiting with bated breath for that bit of news. I hope I don't disappoint either of us.
Next time the weather is too bad to get out , or you are 'under it', remember my little tip. Honor the humble kitchen timer and listen to it's song---when ever thunder showers come along. Well, it rhymes and it's true.
Make the timer your Spark Friend and it will help keep you on the happy track...
I couldn't help myself. In spite of the fact that one of my daily goals is not to weigh myself over once or twice a week, I had to know if yesterday's scale numbers was a fluke.
PTL! It wasn't! I was down a couple more ounces instead... at 139.1. So I'm happy and will wait until Monday, the last day of Week Two on The Plan to weigh in. Could it possibly be even lower? I can dream, can't I?
Just a tip for myself today. My DH and I are fighting bouts of the flu, colds or whatever is going around, and having to stay indoors so not to spread the bugs around. No exercise at the Y as usual for the week. I really miss it and it will no doubt make a difference in the weight department.
Problem is, I find myself sitting at the computer trying to read SparkPeople 's blogs and inspirational articles, replying to some, tracking my nutrition and whatever. I can really get lost in time when I'm glued to the computer.
So today, I've set my kitchen timer for 30 minute intervals to remind me to get up off my you-know-what. I take a lap around the house, go up and down the stairs at least once, and do a few bends and stretches before I sit back down again. Ah, feels so much better.
Oh, I know there will be setbacks even when I'm making my very best efforts, but I also know that the scale will eventually catch up with my true weight and with all the health benefits that go along with it.

Arsene Wenger and David Moyes disagree on whether managers are setting a "terrible example"
Arsene Wenger concurs with former FA chairman David Bernstein's claim that top-flight managers are setting a "terrible example" but David Moyes disagrees.
Bernstein's comments about managers' touchline behaviour and criticism of officials provoked a furious response from the League Managers' Association, but Wenger said the ex-FA chief was right - and that he too needed to improve.
Wenger said: "I go along with that [Bernstein's comments] and I have some work to so on that front as well."
Manchester United boss David Moyes attracted attention only this week for criticism of Howard Webb after his side's loss to Tottenham.
He thinks, though, that he and his counterparts are not culpable. "I think managers are incredibly responsible," he said.
"The work the LMA do and what managers give back, the help they're trying to give the FA Commission, for example, I think that would be a wrong thing to say about the managers."
Like Moyes, Stoke boss Mark Hughes has recently had run-ins with officials and last weekend was sent to the stands as his side lost at Newcastle.
"I think what Richard Bevan has come out with, I just reiterate every word that he's said," the former Wales manager said.
"It's difficult. There's huge sways back and forth in terms of emotion and how the ebb and flow of the game affects you, in terms of the desire, you have to see fair play and make sure you're competing.
"Human nature is a thing that, on occasions, your emotions can get the better of you and football managers aren't immune to that."
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho accepted that there are times when managers can go too far on the touchline or with their comments.
"I think managers are the person in the game with more pressure on their shoulders. I think managers they have the most difficult job in the game, plus the referees," said the Portuguese.
"And I think if on isolated occasions managers, they lose their emotional control and they have a certain behaviour that cannot be accepted by the authorities, in this case by the refs, I think we should be punished.
"But be punished in a way where people don't feel the managers are strange or weird or impolite people, or people without control."
Manchester City's Manuel Pellegrini has by and large stayed on the right side of the law since taking over last summer.
"I think it is very difficult to be a referee. The players play too quickly, the players are always trying to cheat because football is cheating," he said.
"I think it is very difficult and I respect them (referees). Of course nobody likes it when the referee whistles against your team when it is wrong, but a lot of time he whistles and gives you an advantage that maybe you didn't have."

Lana Del Rey SNL Performance
Horible! Could not listen to all of it.
I haven't seen this since the episode first aired, and having never heard of Lana Del Rey, I remember my first impressions were that a) the song was pretty, b) her voice sounded husky and c) that maybe she was Cockney lol. I just immediately recognized it as a certain style, and I was surprised at the extreme response. Seeing it now, I really don't understand the backlash. There's nothing uniquely egregious about this performance. Yes, I suppose she seemed a little nervous and was a little pitchy at points, but the song is not hard to listen to, and she's certainly not difficult to look at-- in fact, she's very striking. I started listening to Lana soon after this and she's very talented. It really wasn't THAT bad at all, and people were acting like she killed someone. Relax.
This performance is ok.. Blu jeans is much much worse! (She performed 2 songs that night!)
Seriously??? this isn't as bad as the articles are making it out to be. I'd probably want to slit my wrists if I listened to this repeatedly (very depressing) but there is nothing terribly wrong with this performance.
wow i was expecting this to be a HORRIBLE performance, from everything i've heard.... and it's not even bad! she looked nervous &if she messed up that's probably why.
She isnt fake, her music is clearly deeply personal and im sorry but anyone that writes their owns songs are obviously talented, not to mention that voice! Ive heard people actually say her eyes are dead, but if you its pretty blatent that she's being soulfull, poetic and meeningfull. Huge talent i love youu LANA!!
I don't see anything wrong with her performance. Her style and appeal is that she that she sings sad songs.....and that is what she did here. So whats the big DEAL?????????
She didn't do horrible and didn't prounoce some of the words fully, and she just changed the song. It's not the normal way she sings the song. But none the less I love her music.
Fake? Who makes that call...you? Anyway, the thread is about this particular performance and it has justifiably been ripped to shreds. However, if the people that have done the most critisyzing were familiar with her style they would probably gone a lot easier on her. She wasn't really too far off from the recorded version and these people don't realize that she sounds kind of bad no matter how its being performed. She's no super talent as some are spewing. She isn't doing anything amazing either. It's slow, dark and moody and shes doing it well enough thst people wantto hear it, although not many. Anyone remember a little lady named Fiona a few years back?? Mix that with a sprinkle of Tori and there you have it...Lana.
Are you people insane? Take a second and google her. She is sooooo fake! She is not from the streets! WTF
Rich dad, stupid lyrics, and cosmetic surgery? Gross, and her music is really really nothing special. I get it, you people are as stupid as most.
Your hilarious calling people stupid for listening to music they like and denying things that can only be viewed as rumors. The amount of fake artist in popular music is overwhelming so her being fake ( i strongly diagree with that btw) does not need to be pointed out since it's such a commonality. So answer this for me Sarah why do you care so much to point these things out? Do you think people will stop listening to her because you have reveled a seemingly obvious piece of information or is it because you are bored and simply cannot do anything more meaningful with you life. I have some advice dont give a fuck about what other people listen to and only listen to what you like that way you wont have to waste so much time saying stupid blanket statements about people being stupid for listening to music you dont like.
Google? You're criticizing Lana Del Rey because of what you read off of google? Let me tell you something, not everything on the Internet is true. You must be really ignorant to be judging a beautiful talent. Sorry she's not like the trash on the radio nowadays. Actually, I'm not sorry. She has a deep, wonderful voice. She may not be the best, but she does have talent. And she I'd different. And she expresses herself the way she wants too. And you? You're probably worshipping Nikki Minaj, and look at her. No talent, and is praised for being half nude and writing terrible music. I wouldn't even call what she produces music. People need to open their eyes and stop being so ignorant and rude. If you don't like Lana, don't watch her or GOOGLE HER. Wow, haha you're real pathetic. YOU HAVE TO HAVE TALENT TO JUDGE TALENT.
WTF? Lana is amazing. She isn't fake. Name 10 celebs who aren't fake. Lana Del Rey has a beautiful voice. What do you mean "It's nothing special"?? No one can sing like she can. She is very unique. All of this hate is old. Just shut up and move on.

Phone booth transformed into soothing, arty aquarium
As phone booths continue down their inexorable path to extinction, artists think of other, more aesthetically pleasing ways to use the endangered glass cubicles. "Why not just install a soothing, blood-pressure-lowering aquarium inside that ugly old phone booth," French artists Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino might have said. And that's just what they did, installing their art piece smack dab in the middle of the Lyon Festival of Lights.
Good idea. There's something soothing about an aquarium, with its fish lazily and aimlessly floating around. And maybe this art installation will enhance the sullied rep of phone booths, which cell phones have almost completely supplanted. Poor phone booths, mostly used for bomb threats and other fishy conversations by those who'd rather not be speaking through a traceable form of communication. This is a whole lot more useful.

Acorda Therapeutics Appoints Michael Rogers Chief Financial Officer; David Lawrence Named Chief Of Business Operations
Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACOR) today announced that Michael Rogers has joined the Company as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective October 7, 2013. He will assume responsibility for the Company's Finance and Investor Relations departments. David Lawrence, M.B.A., who previously served as CFO, has been appointed Chief of Business Operations (CBO) and will be responsible for Technical Operations/Manufacturing, Project Management, Information Technology and Facilities Management.
"I'm delighted to welcome Mike Rogers to Acorda's senior management team. Mike has a record of success as CFO at both commercial- and development-stage biotechnology companies, as well as a background in investment banking," said Ron Cohen, M.D., Acorda's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Mike's strategic insight and broad experience will help us capitalize on opportunities to expand Acorda's business and continue to deliver shareholder value."
Mr. Rogers joins Acorda with 22 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical industry. Most recently, he served as Executive Vice President and CFO of BG Medicine, Inc., where he led the company's successful initial public offering (IPO) in 2011 and was instrumental in assisting in the launch of that company's first product in the cardiovascular area. Prior to that, Mr. Rogers served as the CFO of Indevus Pharmaceuticals for 10 years until the company's sale to Endo Pharmaceuticals. He has led multiple private and public financings and had a central role in numerous mergers and acquisitions over the course of his career, which includes both in-house leadership positions and serving as an external financial advisor.
Mr. Rogers said, "Acorda has emerged as a leading biopharmaceutical company in the neurology space. I look forward to working with Ron, the Board and the management team to help guide the Company to its next levels of growth. It's an exciting time to join Acorda. In addition to its commercial success, the Company has a deep pipeline of potential near-term commercial products and clinical development-stage programs."

Although there was not a lot of action this past week, THE RING Ratings Panel made some significant changes to the junior lightweight rankings, which experienced a shake-up thanks to the advancement of beltholders Rances Barthelemy and Takashi Miura.
Japan's best talents rang in the New Year on separate cards on opposite ends of the country. WBA junior lightweight titleholder Takashi Uchiyama scored a unanimous decision over Daiki Kaneko and WBC 130-pound titleholder Takashi Miura stopped Dante Jardon in the ninth round in Tokyo. WBA junior flyweight titleholder Kazuto Ioka outpointed Felix Alvarado in Osaka.
While much of the world will spend their New Year's Eve watching the ball drop in Times Square or catching a local fireworks display, Japan continues a yearly tradition of having its best fighters defend their world titles in dueling events on opposite ends of the country.
This week is a quiet one in North America and Europe, but in Japan, where two major boxing cards took place on New Year's Eve, many RING-ranked lighter-weight standouts — including Takashi Uchiyama and Kazuto Ioka — were in action.
Takashi Uchiyama, THE RING's No. 1-rated junior lightweight, will defend his WBA title against fellow unbeaten 130-pound standout Bryan Vasquez on New Year's Eve in his hometown of Tokyo, Japan.
Hardcore fans from around the world rave about Takashi Uchiyama's KO of Jorge Solis, discus the little guys of the sport and predict the winners of some interesting up-coming matchups in the first Monday mailbag of 2012. Enjoy!

AMC Takes a Gamble Prolonging Mad Men's Season Finale
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- AMC's (AMCX)AMCX Mad Men aired its mid-season finale last week to what was considered a "soft" 1.9 million viewers on May 25, during the Memorial Day Weekend. However, that number was in line with the ratings the Matthew Weiner-produced show has recorded during its seven-year run.
When the key Live+3 ratings (measuring new views within three days of airing) were in, that number nearly doubled to 3.6 million viewers by the end of the week.
So does that mean AMC's strategy of splitting seasons of its hit show is working? We won't know until Mad Men finishes for real next year and the ratings come in.What is known is people don't watch TV the same way anymore. The traditional TV viewing season followed the school year, airing new episodes from September to the May Sweeps, considered the big yearly payoff. The summer season was a wasteland of repeats and shows that had no chance of any traction.
Now you can watch new "reality" programming year-round. AMC's Breaking Bad aired primarily in the summer while Mad Men was generally aired in mid-spring and into early summer. Mad Men's success was vital for AMC, legitimizing the network as a destination for quality original programming following years of airing primarily movies and maintaining relatively low advertising revenue. When AMC said it would air the final season of Breaking Bad over two years and then did the same for the final season of Mad Men, many wondered if it marked the beginning of a new trend in in the hunt for a more advertising dollars.

Lenders act to limit US foreclosures
Major lenders embark on a rescue mission to halt the wave of foreclosures sweeping the nation and delaying a housing market recovery.
The home-loan industry, facing the worst housing downturn since the early 1990s, is ramping up efforts to help strapped borrowers stay in their homes.
The goal is to restrain a gathering wave of foreclosures that carries big costs for both lenders and borrowers.
This rescue effort isn't expected to save every at-risk homeowner. But it promises to reduce monthly payments for many who have fallen behind on mortgages. In the process, it could help to stabilize a struggling real estate market.
So far the housing slump, precipitated in part by overzealous borrowing and subprime lending, continues its downward slope. In discouraging news for homeowners and homesellers nationally, a report Tuesday showed "the deceleration and declines in home prices are showing no signs of turnaround." Citing February data, Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller index of housing prices in 10 cities posted a 1.5 percent drop from February 2006 – an annual decline not seen in 15 years.
That news follows hard on a revised 2007 price forecast by the National Association of Realtors. NAR said this month it no longer expects the median price of an existing home to rise this year, predicting instead a 0.7 percent decline. The slower recovery, it said, is a result of "tighter lending criteria and fallout from the subprime loan debacle."
Some lenders offer to refinance
Impelled by financial and political pressures to try to curtail foreclosures, lenders are taking action on several fronts:
• Fannie Mae, America's leading mortgage lender, says it plans to help as many as 1.5 million "subprime" borrowers – people with low credit ratings – refinance out of high-interest loans.
• Freddie Mac, which like Fannie Mae is a government-backed corporation, is creating new products to make homes more affordable to buyers with poor credit. Freddie Mac doesn't make loans directly but pledges to buy as much as $20 billion worth of these mortgages from participating lenders.

New Funds Limit the Risks of Bond Investing
Tax-free investors can try iShares 2017 S&P AMT-Free Municipal (MUAF), which yields 0.65%. That is the equivalent of a taxable bond that yields about 1.1% for high-income investors.
The iShares fund, which tracks a high-quality benchmark, has 86% of its assets in bonds that come with the top two ratings, double-A and triple-A.
You can get a higher yield with Fidelity Municipal Income 2017 (FMIFX), a mutual fund that delivers a tax-free yield of 0.96%.
The Fidelity fund yields more because it is an actively managed fund that tries to outdo its benchmark. To boost returns, the portfolio managers sometimes take bonds that are rated triple-B, the lowest rung in the investment-grade universe. The Fidelity portfolio currently has 60% of assets in securities rated double-A or triple-A.
The defined-maturity ETFs can be sound choices for retirement savers. Say you plan to retire in 20 years, and you want to hold bonds. You could buy a 20-year bond. But that is a bad bet because rates are low. If rates rise, you could be stuck holding a low-yielding security. To spread your risk, build a ladder with defined-maturity ETFs. To do that, you buy ETFs with a maturity dates of 2013, 2014 and so on. That way you have assets maturing every year that can be reinvested. If rates rise, you can enjoy some higher yields. Investors who hold the funds until maturity should receive fairly predictable returns. Fidelity portfolio manager Mark Sommer says that you can get a rough idea of what his annual returns will be by checking the Securities and Exchange Commission 30-day yield. A fund that yields 1.0% is likely to deliver annual returns of about that much. But there could be some variations. The funds mature on specific days, such as July 1. Because it is impossible to find 80 bonds that all mature on the same day, the portfolio managers must include securities that mature before and after the date. When bonds mature early, the managers hold cash until the final date. If the bonds mature after the target date, the managers must sell the securities before the maturities and distribute the proceeds to shareholders. So if you pay $25 for shares, you may not get that exact amount back on maturity. But the funds should prove fairly reliable and enable cautious investors to make careful plans.

This sketch would look great in a game room or art room, while it's just a sketch, the simplicity of it is what brings the value to my eye.
This is a sketch for a digital painting I did in 2004, it's one of 2 which seemed to pop into my head from nowhere (Redhead) was the other digital painting which is also available here.
I miss the days of digital painting and may return to it one day but it is very time consuming to get things just right.

Anticipating delivery of a new pair of Racers ordered but just remembered my previous pair (trainers) didn't actually look good with many things apart from shorts and rolled skinny jeans. And that's also the only way I've ever seen them worn.
Due to the form of the slimmer racers, are these even more restricted in terms of pairing up with jeans (no mankles)? If anyone can post or point me in the direction of any inspirational looks where I can wear these with a standard hem I'd be grateful..

Pregnant Kate discharged from London hospitalTHe Associated Press | December 07,2012LONDON The Duchess of Cambridge left a London hospital Thursday after being treated for acute morning sickness related to her pregnancy.
Clutching a small bouquet of yellow roses, the former Kate Middleton smiled and posed briefly for a photograph alongside her husband, Prince William, before leaving King Edward VII Hospital. She stepped delicately into a waiting car.
The couples office said she would head to Kensington Palace in London for a period of rest. She had been in the hospital since Monday. Officials from St. Jamess Palace have said the duchess is not yet 12 weeks pregnant with the couples first child.
William visited his wife at the hospital every day, while media from around the world camped outside, seeking any news on the royal pregnancy.
Royal officials announced Monday that the Duchess was pregnant, their hand forced by her admission into the hospital.
Her stay was complicated by a prank call by two disc jockeys that breached her privacy.
Two Australian radio disc jockeys impersonating Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles placed a prank call to the hospital early Tuesday, and persuaded an unwitting nurse to tell them all about the Duchess condition.
The duchess is married to the queens grandson, Prince William.
Australian radio personalities Mel Greig and Michael Christian later apologized for the hoax sheepishly noting that they were surprised that the call was put through and that their Australian accents were not detected.
The royals have been the target of hoax callers before. Canadian disc jockey Pierre Brassard telephoned the queen in 1995, pretending to be Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.MORE IN Wire NewsLOUISVILLE, Ky.
