Program Philosophy
Our goal is to provide outstanding clinical training leading to board certification and preparation to function as a community leader and advocate of health care for women.
Banner Good Samaritan's OB/GYN Residency Program has had continuous accreditation since 1951 and the program is in compliance with all ACGME requirements. At the most recent RRC site visit, the program was fully accredited and approved for five years and was given no citations.
The residency program in obstetrics and gynecology is a four-year program for those individuals who start immediately following successful completion of medical school. The program accepts eight categorical residents each year for a total of 32 residents.
We expect first-year residents to complete the full four years. There is no pyramid system.
Program Goal: Through an outstanding local, national and international identity of trust and value, enabled by a robust integration of Graduate Medical Education (GME) with the clinical care delivery model, the Banner Good Samaritan Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is committed to "Making a difference in people's lives through excellent patient care".
Program Vision Statement: Our Residency Program exists to inspire and empower residents to be the providers of the highest quality of patient care, humanistic physicians and altruistic leaders and teachers for the comprehensive continuum of women's health, by fostering a nurturing environment that emphasizes the following initiatves:
- inquisitive scholarship and life-long learning
- comprehensive education
- professional behavior (professionalism, respectful collegiality, humility)
- fair, inclusive and transparent leadership
- whole life harmony

ZoeJanuary 2000 |
Hi! I'm one of those ex-gays. No, not one of those ex-gays. I'm transsexual but I used to identify as a gay man. I suppose that I was never really a gay man but I used that identity and focused on my sexuality in order to ignore the major issues I had with my gender.
It all worked when I was in the closet at school, I could blame my total dissatisfaction with my life, feelings of being an outsider and desperation to have female friends and express my emotions on the fact that I was gay but no one knew. Of course that didn't really explain my feelings, it didn't explain why when my male friends were looking at girls and saying "Whoa, look at the legs on her" I was thinking "Ohhh I wish I could wear shoes like that."
So I managed to deny the reality of my life all the way through school but when I actually got to university and came out (that had always been my light at the end of the tunnel) things just got worse and worse. I was very open, I had lots of friends who accepted me, my parents totally accepted me, I was active in the LGB society and I even had boyfriends. It was a life that any gay man would love. Unfortunately I had all the same problems but there was no closet sexuality to hide behind. The safe blanket excuse was pulled away and my gender issues were left cowering and exposed at the front of my mind.
It became increasingly obvious that I was just as much living a lie as a gay man as I was as a straight man or any kind of man for that matter. I came out on the Internet, I went to see a specialist psychiatrist, I got on female hormones and here I am seven months later well on the way to transitioning into a role that reflects the person I am in my mind rather than the bits of meat I have hanging between my legs.
OK so you know who I am now, so why the hell am I writing to Oasis then? It's all gay, teenage, American, boys bitching about not being able to get dates and doing lyrics competitions isn't it? (Nothing wrong with that mind you, although diversity is always good) Well last time I looked Oasis described itself as "written by, about and for queer and questioning youth". Now I don't know about you but I think we can safely include transgendered people into the category of 'queer' (More about that later) and if you're questioning, for whatever reason, one of the possible answers is definitely some kind of gender issue.
Look at my story-I always felt like an unlovable freak, I always felt like I was different from everyone else. I picked up on the fact that I was attracted to people who were the same sex as me and as a result went on the Internet and started being 'questioning'. I found Oasis along with various other resources and the 'gay identity' helped me to survive my feelings. So at the time I didn't get the right answers to my questions but knowing that there's nothing wrong with being gay helped me to live with myself until my mind was strong enough to accept what was really wrong.
Oasis helped me a lot which is why I want to put something back and maybe help some other people in the same situation as me (It's not as unusual as you'd think, just look at Katie's column from last month). I think it's important that a resource like Oasis includes all the possible 'answers' for everyone who comes to it after they begin to question their sexual (and gender) identity. So yet again, if you read Oasis, or you were ever questioning and Oasis helped you, but you don't see anyone else on here who's like you then write to Jeff and start contributing!
Remember I said TG people definitely fit comfortably in the category of 'queer'? I hope no one out there's disagreeing with that right now. People who are transgendered, who transgress society's gender rules, are queer by definition. It's a label that covers every color in the LGBT spectrum. Even if you don't buy that story and insist we just look at it in terms of sexuality there's clearly a very good case.
Think of it this way, exactly what does gay, straight and bisexual mean when your gender is different from your sex, or in the middle or both or even neither? If you're a boy but you have the body of a girl you're being 'gay' when you have a relationship with pretty much anyone by someone's definition. Then add how the straight majority views TG people. They're definitely 'fags' (you know that means cigarettes in my country?), in fact they're more than 'fags' they're 'fags' who want to change sex or present a different gender to their sex.
To the average Joe or Jo Public in the street TG people are the Uberfags the faggiest of the fags, super-fag, you get the picture... In the range of acceptability the preppy, (so-called) 'straight-acting', clean cut, college boy is somewhere near the top and the slightly 'swishy' gay man who openly hums show tunes (yes that's right look disgusted) and might even call another man 'Hon' (shock horror) is somewhere in the middle (Perhaps he'll get invited to the occasional dinner party because "Those people are just so witty!") but right at the bottom in the lock-up-your-pets-and-small-children-draw-the-curtains-turn-the-lights-off-and-hide-behind-the-furniture-until-it-goes-away category is the gender trash kid who wears clothes appropriate to the other sex and even claims to be of the other sex (just look at the ratings they bring in on talk shows -it's the modern day freak show)!
So we're here, we're queer, yadda, yadda, yadda, you know how it goes. So welcome to the world of gender-queer. I hope you enjoy your visit. Please drive carefully and deposit all trash in the bins provided. If you need to visit the bathroom please don't panic, we have a wide selection of options to match every possible configuration (Why we don't just have one very large one is anyone's guess). I'm sure you'll be welcome as long as you're accepting and don't ask people what's between their legs (I mean how rude is that!).
There's a whole host of folks here, men, women, both, neither and other. If you're not sure where you fit into all of this yet it's sure going to be fun to find out! That's all from me for this month, hopefully I'll see you again next month where I'll be bitching about not being able to get dates and revealing to you who wrote these lyrics: "Just kidding!"

Home Kent Business County News Article
Staff from the AA and members of trade union GMB today protested against Folkestone-based company Saga over its decision to float on the stock exchange.
GMB, representing staff from the AA, staged the protest outside Saga's offices in Middelburg Square in Folkestone town centre this morning (Wednesday).
The union say they held the protest because the AA, one of the country's leading vehicle and breakdown recovery services, will be left with £4 billion worth of debts when Saga are floated on the stock exchange.
But Saga rebuffed their claims and called the action a mere publicity stunt as the trade union for the AA are the Independent Democratic Union (IDU), not GMB.
The company that owns the AA, Acromas which is owned by private equity companies Charterhouse, CVC Capital Partners and Permira, plans to split up Saga and the AA when Saga is floated on the stock exchange.
Protest organiser Paul Grafton said: "Saga will be in a position to float with no debt while staff at the AA are pushed to breaking point carrying the burden.

WhiteManDatingBlackWoman.info =============================== Are you a white man dating black woman, or would like to date a black woman for that matter? While it may not seem as common as other interracial parings, such as white men and Asian women, the preference still definitely exists. Among white men who like to date black ladies, one of the primary concerns they have is "how do I attract them?" Without being to un-PC, "game" is typically different between black men and white men, and so the white guys may feel that they are at a disadvantage from the beginning. Fortunately for them, there are ways to entirely circumvent this! Black women (and all women, for that matter), can be divided into two main groups Those who are attracted to white guys, and those who aren't. If you are interested in dating black women, you want to focus on the former group for one very important reason: you can spend all day trying to attract a women who isn't attracted to you, and it won't be successful. For this reason, you should primarily focus your attention on the black women who are attracted to white guys. Once you have established this game plan, the next step is to focus on being your awesome self. Too many guys try to be the guy that they think women want, which is a recipe for disaster for many reasons, including the fact that you will have to fake that "other" personality for the duration of your relationship, which is tons of work and isn't much fun. Remember, when you meet a …

So last week I mentioned to my bro inlaw that I wanted to build a sleeping platform in the back of the truck so that I can do some camping. I said that I didn't know where to start and how the design would be. So we struck a deal.......he would build it for me, but I pay for materials, I would have to finish it up (i.e. carpet it), and that he could also borrow it once in awhile to do some camping with the kids.
Of course I said Heck Yeah! This took him probably a good 6hrs from design to completion. Sure heck would have taken me two or three times as long On to the pics!!!
And the finished product!

Rebellion's Sniper Elite V2 is out this week on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The game incorporates a sandbox-level design, varied weapons, and a "kill cam" mechanic with a storyline that goes back to the tail end of WWII.
The game puts players in control of Karl Fairburne, a US sniper sent to Berlin in the midst of post-WWII conflicts between Nazi and Russian forces. His mission? Eliminate, capture, or rescue those involved in the famous V2 rocket program.
The story is spread across 11 missions, but players can choose how they approach each one, with weapon customisation playing a central role. When they're sniping, the game features both a heart-rate monitor and a breathing bar; holding breath will allow for a more precise shot, but a high heart rate in the middle of a dangerous period makes shooting more difficult.
For those looking for a more casual, friendly time, Fable Heroes for Xbox Live Arcade is a four-player action hack-and-slash adventure that looks to reward longtime fans of the Fable universe.
Finally, Awesomenauts is a competitive online multiplayer game full of silly 2D fun.
To see what else is out this week, check the list below:

History's "Pawn Stars" is back on Thursday, May 30.
The series moves to Thursday nights at 9pm ET, beginning May 30.
Each episode of Pawn Stars features an array of quirky characters attempting to sell, purchase or pawn items. Viewers will see them haggle over a slew of interesting historic items this season.
What will be haggled on, you say? A guitar believed to be signed by Paul McCartney with items signed by all four of The Beatles to a reproduction of the Back to the Future DeLorean car to an Aaron Burr signed document to a NASA space toilet seat. Rick Harrison gets to chew the fat with THE Roger Daltrey (The Who) at Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp in Las Vegas in the upcoming season.From History
Included in the new night, is a brand new original theme song performed by classic rock legends, Lynyrd Skynyrd. The band recorded a custom song for the show titled Winning Isnt Everything. A shortened version of the song will accompany the PAWN STARS show opening beginning on May 30. And, the full song can be purchased on iTunes as of mid-May.
For thousands of years, people all over the world have found themselves with one problem in common: the need for fast cash. Long before banks, ATMs, and check-cashing services, pawnbrokers have provided monetary loans in exchange for personal items of value, and are still helping everyday people make ends meet today.
The Harrisons successful family-run pawn shop, Gold & Silver, runs on knowledge, instinct, nerves of steel and family chemistry. The guys are straight-talking, shrewd, and sometimes, even a tad crude. Richard (Old Man) has a knack for sizing up the precise value of anything. Rick, a born hustler, seems to have a radar for stolen or fake items and is a wealth of information when it comes to historical items. Corey, a trained appraiser, is the back-office brains and brawn. While Chumlee, Coreys childhood sidekick, has a heart of gold but is often the butt of the guy's jokes.
Everything and everyone has a story and its the Harrison familys job to decipher fact from fiction, because in this business the customer isnt always right.
Pawn Stars is produced for HISTORY by Leftfield Pictures. Russ McCarroll is Executive Producer for HISTORY. Executive Producers for Leftfield Pictures are Brent Montgomery, David George and Matthew Braley. Joel Patterson is Co-Executive Producer and Peter Van Pelt is Supervising Producer.

While many of you techies may already be aware of this, other general computer users may not be so I thought I would share the link below (there's also a video). I don't use my laptop camera - ever, but last year, I noticed a the camera's red light would suddenly flash on, now and then. While it may have been nothing, the first thing that came to mind was that someone was watching me. I had NOT turned my camera on and never do. Since then, I put a piece of tape over the camera. While these webcam predators might not connect to YOUR computer, knowing it could happen is wise. I am not one to open emails from senders I don't recognize, but hackers have a way of hacking however they see fit. Just thought I'd share to warn those who may not know about this. |

I do know about it but thanks for posting because I know a lot of people do not know about it. I started covering my webcam camera long ago. I would much prefer that they not come with webcams built in, I never use mine anyway. Now all of my tablets have them too. For those that want to disable it if you will not be using it you can do that through device manager, with windows 7 there is the option to disable it and it will not re enable it on reboot. |

Everyone take a deep breath, there's no reason to worry about your webcam. This is a sensationalized story. Don't click on links you don't know to be trustworthy, don't open emails from unknown senders, don't download or install anything unnecessary (including the variety of unneeded utilities you sometimes see hereabouts), and keep your firewall and internet security software on and functioning. Now that you've done that, DO enjoy the fun and joys of free video calls with out of town family and friends. For many people it's their favorite internet activity. Oh, and keep the tape in the drawer, nobody is using your webcam to watch you eating that peanut butter sandwich. |
Unless I'm actively using my laptop, I always close the lid, so no such worries here. Anyway, if a voyeur gets a kick out of looking at an 81 year old great-granny, bless him/her. |

very timely, just saw this article which gives details on some other issues that can happen with web cams. It would be worth while to check the model of yours and see if it may be the type that needs a firmware update. You certainly don't want your camera to be broadcasting with out your knowledge. |
Here is a link that might be useful: check your cam
My bad, my comments were right but I used the wrong word. OP used the wrong term and I continued that. The topic is PC cams, not webcams (which are a completely different thing). Raven, the article you've linked seems to mush PC cams and webcams together, that's not helpful. I've never heard of this person, but I myself don't think of talk show hosts as any kind of authority on anything. But if you click on the right links in that article, you can buy directly from her that which she recommends. Give me a break. |
I have a trend net network cam. Looks out the top of my front kitchen window with a wide angle lens. As I discovered one day - They are super very dangerous. One day I noticed a big tree branch had fallen .. later went out to drag it around back.. walked right up to a sleeping alligator, disguising as a fallen tree branch until you get really close. |
I guess a gator has to take advantage of it's opportunities. |
snidely- Kim Komando has been in the computer instruction business for a good 20 years, and has written a number of computer tutoring books; she also has a show that is on several hundred radio stations. Yes, she does have merchandise to peddle, but she is also a good source of computer knowhow for many folks. I'm not a supporter or a detractor, but she is not just a "talk show host" who is clueless about computers. Not trying to pick a fight...just providing some info. |
Thanks kudzu, good comments. To respond, talk show hosts are entertainers and promoters, not purveyors of unbiased information. I could describe Rush Limbaugh the same way, in the business for 20 years, has written books, and is on hundreds of radio stations. I hope you don't consider him to be a source for news. He doesn't himself. I've got no ax to grind, I just looked at that link and laughed at how someone could consider "information" from a person like that to be useful. There are so many good people who provide objective tech information to the public - I think of Dvorak and Bajarin at PCmag, Pogue at NY Times, so many others. None EVER sells anything, recommends what they sell, or engages in self promotion, it would destroy the public perception of their journalistic objectivity. I'm certain they don't view her as a peer/colleague. |
KK use to be informative and reliable. Unfortunately her credibility slipped when she went corporate. Now she is just another source of information to be reviewed and digested. Her personalized products don't seem to rate all that high. DA |

Snidely, OP used the word Webcam because that's what the article/video refers to. Says it right on the article heading. |
I see your point, Debi, my bad x 2. Looking at it slower than the first glance, what's at work is unspecific terms. Your referenced TV piece has to do with malware that makes a PC's camera accessible to outside peekers. To me, but I understand not not necessarily to all, a "webcam" is different, it's used to intentional provide a view of a fixed place. Do a google search on webcam + a place name, like "Webcam Tokyo" or "Webcam Chicago", there's lots of interesting things to see. Also, people use them in homes for security, etc. I still think both articles WAY overstate the case. The main subject is another flavor of malware that's easily avoided and even if not, rather benign. |
Oh Snidely, how did you know I was eating a peanut sandwich???? |
Emma, I couldn't tell, your hand was in the way, was that sandwich on whole wheat bread? For a new sensation, next time try adding slides of sweet bread and butter pickles instead of jelly/jam. It's a surprisingly delicious combination. |

Coming off of a Pro Bowl season in 2012, Dolphins guard Richie Incognito is already quite excited about the 2013 season.

New Clues to the Mystery of Multiple SclerosisSun exposure and vitamin D status are independently important factors
Scientists have long observed that the farther you live from the equator, the greater your risk of developing multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that affects the nerve cells. New research points toward related connections that may explain this phenomena: more sun exposure over a lifetime and higher vitamin D levels were each associated with a lower risk of nerve damage that can progress to multiple sclerosis.
Looking north to southThe study, published in Neurology, included Australians living from latitudes 27S to 43S. These latitudes receive about the same amount of annual sunlight as a region extending from Tampa, Florida, to Concord, New Hampshire, and from Baja California, Mexico, to Eugene, Oregon. Study participants were 216 people who had recently been found to have the type of nerve damage seen in multiple sclerosis, known as demyelination. They were compared with 395 otherwise similar people without demyelination. All participants answered questions about their past, recent, and total leisure-time sun exposure. They also had their skin examined and rated for sun damage, and blood levels of vitamin D (25-hydroxy) measured. How sun and vitamin D relate to nerve damageSimilar to previous studies, this one found that more people with the demyelination type of nerve damage lived in the far southern latitudes than the middle latitudes. Moreover:
"Our findings suggest that sun exposure and vitamin D status are independently important factors in the development of multiple sclerosis," said study lead author Associate Professor Robyn Lucas of the Australian National University. "If this is true, vitamin D supplementation alone may be less effective as a preventive strategy than previously thought." Take care of your nervesWhile many people may be out enjoying the summer sun while they have it, it's worth a discussion with your doctor on the relative risks of premature aging and skin cancer compared with multiple sclerosis risks. In any case, if you live in a place where summers are short, you might want to take extra steps in the hope of preventing nerve damage:

I've never much liked January 1 as a time for starting new ventures. As I've noted in past columns, I don't see the sense in calling upon extraordinary reserves of energy and self-discipline at this time of the natural year.
After all, even in these high-tech days, our stubborn mammalian selves - evolved over millions of years - still respond powerfully to such natural stimuli as short days and cold nights, which tell us we should eat more, pack on a few pounds of insulation, go to sleep early, and rise late.
Beginning a new diet or a demanding workout regimen comes hard at a season when our bodies' natural energies are low. In winter, it's often tough enough just to haul yourself out of bed, scrape off the windshield, and get to work. Where people find the extra psychic energy to hit the gym or go out for a cold, pre-dawn run is beyond me.
And it's not like the tenth day after winter solstice was divinely decreed as the beginning of a new year. Our modern calendar is basically an historical accident, resulting from the Romans' uncharacteristic incompetence in devising a calendar which didn't migrate over the centuries.
Most ancient societies had more sense, deeming the first day of spring to be the beginning of the new year. Human beings respond naturally to longer, warmer days and the first blossoms of spring - usually with a re-awakening of their natural energies, including their amorous propensities. Thus, it has always seemed to me that the best time to tackle high-energy "new year's resolutions" is March 21, the vernal equinox.
Still, this year, I seem to be making a partial exception. Unusual circumstances can trump nature's rhythms. In my life, New Year's weekend meant moving to an apartment in Carytown. I'd found the place months ago, but one of Steven Spielberg's minions was staying there during the shooting of the Lincoln movie, so I found temporary quarters until the Hollywood folks headed back to California.
Anyway, now I'm living within blocks of the Byrd Theater, and I'm quite content. Carytown absolutely invites walking, so I've started taking a healthy stroll every day. I now have a convenient kitchen, which will allow me to get back to cooking - and with Ellwood Thompson's close by, I'll be buying healthy ingredients. So perhaps I'll drop a few more pounds without actually declaring myself on a diet.
Resolutions or not, these changes - new place, more walking, better diet - are part of a process which began when my sister took over Mom's day-to-day care last May. Caring for an elderly parent - or anyone who requires a lot of attention - has definite rewards, but over time, it can also lead to a mental state which is probably, technically, mild depression. I do know this: In my last year living at home, I gained twenty pounds, almost stopped writing, and found it increasingly difficult to read.
In the past seven months, all of those processes have reversed themselves. I've dropped most of the new weight. I'm starting to write again. And I'm plowing through several books at a time - all of them at least moderately challenging.
I've even acquired a Kindle, which is ideal for reading great old novels without having to lug them about. As a new Kindle user, I've discovered a surprising affection for Charles Dickens, whose work - aside from the incomparable Christmas Carol - had always struck me as overly long and tedious. Of course, that impression was gained in the ninth grade, when I involuntarily spent about a month in the company of David Copperfield. But thanks to my Kindle - and more mature tastes - I've now read several of Dickens' shorter novels, and I look forward to tackling another in the near future.
I've even begun to consider recruiting some Dickens fans - assuming I can find them - to join me in a public reading of one of his novels on the great author's 200th birthday - February 7, 2012. If anyone is interested, I'd be delighted to hear from them.
I'm also looking forward to rejoining the book club I helped to start - through this column - five years ago this month. It's a non-fiction book club, dedicated to reading ten books a year - mostly on topics related to history, current events, health, environmental issues, and other serious subjects. The club still meets on the second Saturday morning of each month - and this January, the members have the option of reading any book on the subject of the Supreme Court. I've chosen Noah Feldman's Scorpions.
Please note: None of these changes constitutes a formal "New Year's Resolution". I'll save those for March 21. I do have my principles, after all.
Still change, at any season, can be invigorating. Even if it's January, it seems that, in 2012, I can't help making a few changes of my own.

When was the last time I blogged, March? Wow, I've neglected this thing for a while now, and I probably will continue to after I write this. I really don't care though, nor do I care if anyone reads this. So yeah anyways...
I've decided that unless you have a job, girlfriend, or something extremely interesting going on in your life, the months of june, july, and august are really boring. Considering I have none of the above my life is a living borefest (which explains why I'm blogging right now). The most interesting thing I did all summer was take a road trip to Chicago (which was awesome I might add). The problem is, that roadtrip was in early June and I didn't do anything realitively close to as exciting as that other than go to Warped Tour (which was also awesome). So basically, my summer peaked way too early and every other activity I partook in just didn't compare.
Getting beat on Fight Night made me want to bite someone's ear off.
So what did I do all summer? The last thing any college should be doing; spending money. Most of that went to my Xbox 360 however, as I hoped a new game or two would releave me of my boredom. Well that sort of worked. Fight Night Round 4 came first, and while that game is very fun, getting destroyed by 12 year olds who had mastered the art of exploiting (or were just really, really good) made me shelve the game for weeks at a time.
I put this guy on the Bobcats, and they won the NBA Title. Maybe the actual Bobcats should do the same.
Next I tried NBA 2k9. I've come to the conclusion that this game is an addiction, because I bought it back in March or April and played the hell out of it to the point where there was no point in playing it again. Problem is, I kept coming back to the game, playing it for a extended period of time, then realizing I have zero desire to go through a franchise mode with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Whats worse is I've repeated this process at least a dozen times.
This game saved me from cured me of my chronic boredom.
So what game came to my rescue? Tales. Of. Vesperia. I totally missed out on this game, and am now currently playing it and loving it. I needed something different, and Tales is certainly that. I have all intentions to finish the game, and hopefully by that time something else has come out that can relieve me of my boredom, except by that time I imagine, school, basketball, and parties will be keeping me from being bored.

By now, my affections for the starting left-handed pitcher in San Francisco known as Madison Bumgarner are well-known. Put simply and with a minimum amount of exaltation, he pitches in a fashion that I admire.
Typically, he pounds the lower part of the zone early in the count to either get ahead or induce a ground ball. If the batter doesn't ground out, Bumgarner will use his cutter low and inside or outside depending on the handedness of the batter or come up and in with his fastball.
His stuff isn't particularly vicious in terms of velocity or movement. His fastball will normally sit around the low nineties, and his cutter comes in on average around 88 miles per hour. He also throws a sinking fastball, change up and curve ball from time to time, but not nearly as often as the other two pitches. What separates Bumgarner is his ability to locate.
Watching him perform is unlike watching almost any other pitcher in baseball, in that it's just as interesting watching Buster Posey set up as it is Bumgarner's delivery because his pitch reaches the exact position of his battery mate's glove almost every time. The phenomenon is most reminiscent of vintage Cliff Lee.
Last night, against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Bumgarner pitched eight innings, allowing four hits and zero runs while striking out ten and walking none. He induced 15 swinging strikes, and looked rather brilliant doing so. So far this month, Bumgarner has faced 106 batters, and only 20 of them have gotten on base. His strike out to walk ratio over that time is an ungodly-for-a-starting-pitcher 10:1.
However, perhaps the best evidence of Bumgarner's performance last night in a tight game was his success at nibbling. Typically, when we talk of pitchers nibbling, it's a negative comment on their lack of confidence in throwing strikes, but what I believe we saw from Bumgarner last night was a sort of commanding nibble. Of the 28 batters that Bumgarner faced, nine times the pitcher got up to counts that had three balls, but of those nine counts with three balls, six were after already getting ahead with two strikes.
Even more impressive are the outcomes of the three ball counts, which all resulted in outs, including five strike outs, three ground outs and a line out. Bumgarner's confidence with his command allowed him to use a set up pitch with two ball counts and generally avoid throwing hittable pitches in a game for which the majority of the time he spent protecting a one run lead.
This is perhaps best seen in one particular at bat in the sixth inning against Matt Kemp.
With two out, and Shane Victorino on first base, Kemp approached the plate. Bumgarner's first pitch to the Dodgers center fielder seemed like a rare miss from the young southpaw, but if we look where Posey was setting up on the outside of the plate, it was anything but (remember the above image is from the catcher's perspective and the below image is from the pitcher's).
Bumgarner threw the first pitch away from the batter, and then proceeded to barrage Kemp with cutters inside.
The second pitch was swung at by Kemp, most likely as part of a hit and run, for which he missed, but Victorino advanced to second base. Then, Bumgarner threw the next one in an incredibly similar place, at which Kemp again swung and missed, this time without the built-in excuse that the hit and run provided before. Down 1-2, Kemp swung at the fourth pitch of the at bat, the closest to being in the strike zone, actually making contact this time, but fouling it off.
He then took an exaggerated version of the three previous pitches for ball two. Bumgarner went back to the same place again on 2-2, hoping that Kemp would chase, but instead the low and inside pitch allowed Victorino to swipe third base. So, at this point, there was a full count and a runner on third with two out and the Giants holding a slim lead.
With first base open, Bumgarner threw yet another pitch outside the strike zone, but not as exaggerated as the previous two pitches at which Kemp couldn't hold himself back from swinging.
At 89.5 miles per hour, the cutter that Bumgarner threw for the seventh pitch came in faster than any of the other cutters of the at bat. It was located in an unhittable place, and it was nearly perfect. Watch as Posey slips inside on the batter just before Bumgarner delivers to make Kemp look absolutely foolish with his whiff.
In a close game with a runner on third base, Bumgarner struck out one of the best hitters in the game without throwing him a single pitch in the strike zone.
It's doubtful that most pitchers would even risk a pitch that close to the dirt with a runner on third base, but Bumgarner embraced it, and with supreme confidence in his command, he even put a little bit of extra mustard on it, to boot. It was an incredibly gutsy pitch as part of an overall excellent and incredibly mature performance for a pitcher who just turned 23 years old at the beginning of August.
To close, here's an arbitrary list of pitchers who are older than Bumgarner:
- Tyler Chatwood
- Randall Delgado
- Nathan Eovaldi
- Brad Hand
- Chris Archer
- Blake Beaven
- Danny Duffy
- Matt Moore
- Jarrod Parker
- Drew Pomeranz

text: you asked... How Can I Keep Pumping for an Older Baby? I started having issues with pumping around nine months. Why? And what should I do? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: I started having issues with pumping around nine months. Why? And what should I do? A baby's breastfeeding needs definitely evolve over time, and certainly change as solid foods become part of the daily routine. Some moms see their milk supply lessen at this time.If you're pumping because you are going to be away from your baby, first, build up a supply of milk so baby will have enough for the number of feedings you'll miss, says Andi Silverman, author of Mama Knows Breast. Second, bring your pump with you when you're away from baby. Pump at the same times baby would be eating in order to maintain your milk supply.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that moms give infants only breast milk for the first six months. That means no formula, water, juice or solid foods. The AAP also suggests that mothers breastfeed (in addition to feeding the baby solid foods) until baby is at least one year old. And many moms continue to breastfeed as their kids become toddlers. The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding, in addition to solids, for two years. Andi Silvermanm, author of Mama Knows Breast: A Beginner's Guide to Breastfeeding re: Q: Pumping problems? I left my 9 month old with my husband for a wedding weekend getaway. I brough my pump and pumped when I was away. Now I am trying to pumpfor another wedding (just 1 night away) and I only get about 1/2 the amount of milk I usually pump?? And since I got back from the 1st wedding, my baby prefers cups to nursing and will only nurse (without a protest) in the am. fourreau | re: Q: Pumping for older babies? Same experience here - at around 8-9 months, production slowed way down, but from pumping ONLY. DS can get all the milk he wants, I can even self-express it after the pump seems to have run my dry. I had my pump tested and the company sent me some new parts and it worked fine in the tests, but I went from getting 4-5 oz to 2oz each session. I think we either get used to the suction, or maybe because the baby gets better at it, the boob needs super strong suction to get some milk. Anyone know the real answer??? wanitten | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? I have soooo many friends, and myself, that this happened to. It seems like for some reason you start to have pumping issues around 8-10mths. I contacted La Leche and they said to have my pump checked (it is fine) and that we were probably lucky to have been able to be so easily stimulated by a pump to being with. They said the average for most women pumping is only 2-3 oz and to get more means you have an over abundance of milk. I used to get 8-10 oz every monring and now only get 2-3. My baby is still gaining plenty of weight and I know my milk is still plentiful, so.... I guess the pump just isn't working as well. Kellymom.com has greta info on this and even said it is ok to just give more solids while you are gone and then feed immediately upon returning. I have been doing this, with the exception of when I know I will be gone at bedtime. Then, I pump for 2-3 days prior to make sure I can leave a bottle for him to be given before bed. Good luck! I freaked out at first when this happened, btu now I kind of en like not pumping so often! autumnhuddleston | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? Hi there! I'm going through this very same problem. At first I freaked out because right at the time I was starting to pump less my DH went back to work and my DD started daycare. Talk about a nightmare! I wasn't able to get enough she needed for day and was starting to get engorged and very uncomfortable during the workday. So I called Medela and had them check my pump (which was working just fine) and the gal told me that your boobs get use to the pump and the way to get it back to the way it was is to pump 5 to 6 times per day. She told me to do this for about a week and a half and if it doesn't work to call back. So far I've been doing this for a couple of days. Not sure if it's working but I'll let you know! Good luck to all and congrats on still bf'ing!! :) vexyvixen1031 | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? I went through the exact same thing. Went into our hospital to the lactation consultant, pump was fine, got on some supplements as I was going to be away longer during the day than normal for 3 days while working out of town. Those helped (blessed thisle & fenugreek), but I was still having issues w/ getting enough milk when pumping - never having any issues when nursing. Called Medela, they told me that my size was changing and I needed a smaller shield - they sent me a smaller shield (I think just "small") and it worked. I started having let down again, which I wasn't having w/ the larger pump shield. I still only get 2 oz. when pumping. Originally I was giving our daycare provider 3 oz bottles still - just using f/m the freezer supply, but tried just 2 oz one day and he was fine and had no issues. I think the need just goes so far down. I'm 6 weeks til his 1 year! Cross your fingers for me ladies! I have a goal to get to that 1 year mark before we start weaning! Good luck to you all! Kristi kristiingalls | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? SOOOO Glad to hear that I am not the only one experiencing this. There is definitly a lack of info for nursing older babies. I tried a "nursing vacation" to have the baby help bust my supply, and will be having the daycare supplement with food for whatever I don't have. DD will just have to adjust her nursing pattern to get more from me when we are together. 9 months this weekend, hoping to make it to 12. lac1418 | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? Holy Cow! It's great to see that I'm not the only one with this issue. I have been freaking out the past couple of weeks. My LO is 9 months old and I just recently seen a significant decrease in my pumping supply. My left breast has always produced less, but now it is WAY less. Where I may get 3-4 ozs out of my right breast, I get 0.5-1 oz out of my left!!! My left breast has almost gone down to pre-nursing size. I really want to make it to one year and don't want to dry up. I think I'm going to try the smaller shield idea (given that I don't already use the small shield--have to check). katrreid | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? Me, too. Very common... this has occured with my third baby (I'm pumping now and my baby is 9 months)... I think mom's milk supply naturally drops because baby is adjusting better to eating (supplementing) calories with solid foods, and not exclusively breast milk. If you are concerned, or think baby is not getting enough milk when you are away, try increasing the pumping sessions, drink more fluids (water), etc. Amy0527 | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one that has noticed a drop in pumping results. It happened for me around the 8.5 month mark. I'm lucky I get 1.5oz total when I pump now and trying to pump a 5 oz bottle takes about 5 days. But my daughter seems to have no problem nursing and seems to be getting plenty of milk. Maybe it's just our bodies way of prepping for when we start to ween our babies. plopat | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? I'm having this issue already at 3 months. I'm worried that when I go back to work I will have to supplement with formula. I really don't want to do this! I'm seeing an acupuncturist to see if she can help. Also, I'm PCOS and may try going back on metformin. Any advice would be very helpful! sbwalk | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? I am so glad to see that I'm not alone. I have been struggling for a couple weeks now and even went and bought a new pump (I was using an old one). How much milk should the LO be taking at this point? I have read several posts that say they should be taking almost 30oz a day and I don't feel he's getting anywhere near that. We do 2 bottles of 6oz each while I'm working and then he usually nurses 3 times each day as well. Any thoughts on what your babies are taking in each day? I have 12 weeks to till he turns 1. Hope we make it!!! Stealthottie | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? Hallo ladies, next week i will be away from my DS all day for 2 days mon and thurs. He is 9months and my first time to be away from him for longer period since he was born. I did not pump he will just take formula while I'm gone but i'm not sure what to do when I come back to nurse him straight away. I dont think i can take the pump with me cause I wont have a place to chill whatever i pumped. Does anyone know if my milk will still be good when he didn't nurse all day and I also did not pump? Do boobs still feel engorged if the baby didn't suck or they were not expressed even after 9months? nhlanhlamlambo | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? My little boy was jaundice so we had to force-feed him bottles when he was only a couple of days old, he never took to nursing. I've had to pump for him ever since, he's now 9 months! The best way to increase your supply is to pump more often (I was at every 2 hours in the beginning!) and to pump for longer (I've been up to 30 min at a time). When you're at the supply you want 20 min is fine and I'm down to 5 times a day. I'm now freezing my extra for when he's at about a year I can stop pumping earlier than that. I was up to about 63 oz a day when I was pumping 6 times a day (6am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, and 9pm). I'm now down to 5 times a day (6, 9, 1p, 5, and 9) and supply is down to about 48 oz. When you want to wean off a session you shorten from 20 min a pumping to 15 min for a while and so on. As much work as pumping is, I'm proud to be able to donate my milk. So far I've donated about 3000 oz to the milk bank! Good luck all!! dplamondon | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? @nhlanhlamlambo: You're only going to be away for one day at a time, right? for how many hours? More than 8 hours would make my boobs uncomfortably full; that's happened a couple of times recently and it's not pleasant, but doable. And yes, your milk will still be good even if you don't pump at all. It doesn't go bad while still inside our bodies. :) baleydyan | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? I started having issues with pumping around 4 months. I had to pump because i went back to work. I also contacted the pump manufacturer and they sent me a new pump. The cups were mot providing enough suction and more often than not i would still be engorged and in pain after pumping. What worked for me (and i recommend for everyone) is hand expression. I would pump for 10 mins then hand express. My baby is now 9 months and i get 10 ounces evertytime i express. Hand expression relieves my pain, engorgement, and has allowed me to give my baby breast milk until now. Had i continued just to use the pump, i would've definitely dried up xnana82x1 | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? I had the same issue when my little guy was 8 months old. The pump seemed to work much less efficiently, so much so that I got engorged and mastitis! I took antibiotics and nursed and pumped like crazy. I too was able to hand express after I pumped...a bad sign that the pump wasn't working well. I called Medela and got new parts, but there was no difference. My little guy went on a 4 day nursing strike around that time too..awesome. He's back now, though, and the mastitis is resolved. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Also, I think he's reverse cycling...he won't take a bottle at all while I'm at work, and wants to nurse a lot and at night when I'm home... ashleighanne1 | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? I had this crisis too about 7 months....all to figure out on my own about a month later (a month of pain and torture of not being able to empty) that the membranes (Yes, that 5 cent little rubber piece) needed replaced. I replaced those and now do so about every 6 weeks whether they need it or not just to avoid the pain and suffering that caused. I had the pump up at full blast and I couldn't get hardly anything out...changed the membranes and am back down at a little over halfway. LisaLucas | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? So good to see all these answers! I had the same problem, but it happened around 6 months so I had to start giving the daycare formula to use when I couldn't pump enough. I still nurse about 3-4 times a day even though I'm working full time, but I haven't been able to pump more than an oz. so I just gave up the pumping. Recently when my little guy got sick he would only nurse for over a week so that brought my supply way up again and I pumped 6 oz. my first day back to work, but that ended quickly. I just can't bring myself to pump 5 times a day to get the supply back up. I felt guilty about adding in the formula but he's 9 months now and still loves to nurse, so I'm hoping we can keep it up. esheehan821 | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? This is a big relief that other mom's have same problem, my son just turned 9 months and milk dropped! i didn't have this with my older son until about 2 weeks before he turned 1 (and that turned out to be because i was pregnant with with second son) i thought there was something wrong with my pump, cleaned and changed out all the parts again, started upping my supplments... but still in a while day i'm only making 7 oz! i have been freaking out, but i'm glad to know this isn't just me, i am just hoping to make the next 3 months, he has never had formlua (my older son did, i never made enough for how hungry he was), but we are having to add more solid foods and water. mnbaker_ssu | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? I have exclusively pumped from the time my DD was 1 week old. I had an abundance of milk to begin with and started to taper off around six months. I added an extra pumping session a day, to bring my total to 5, and made sure to drink plenty of water and was able to get my supply back up. My DD is 10 months old now and we are still going strong. I hope to continue to the 2 year mark. Of course after she is a year old she won't need as many ounces so I will be able to cut back on pumping. turtlew1976 | Q&A: Pumping for older babies? I'm so glad to know it's not just me! I'm going back to work full-time (have been part-time since I went back to work when DD was 2 mo) and have noticed I'm getting less when I pump for her morning bottle when I'm away and also at night (extra milk for cereal feedings and to catch up on her morning bottle). I've been on vacation for the last 2 weeks and am using it as a nursing holiday - no bottles, just me - and notice she seems to be dropping a feeding, which should make life a little easier when I start back to work fulltime next week. DD is almost 10 mo now, just hoping to make it a little more and then we can tap into the freezer stash if necessary; I don't want to do formula unless we have to, though I hope we can keep nursing at bedtime and mornings before I leave for work. I'll miss my sweet little nursling being gone all day! @sbwalk: Check with your doc but Metformin is a galactalogue, it helps you make milk - some moms who can't make enough are actually prescribed it to increase supply. You should be fine on it. formossissima | Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts

I never thought that we could go in to a store and buy a swimsuit under 15 minutes but Brea who was the sales associate was real good and knew exactly what we needed. After she helped us with our extra tight bikinis we convinced her to hang out with us at my pool. Once we got there things got really wild and wet. Brea was not a stranger to munching on pussy. She got down like a pro.

NATE Publishes Equipment Basics Checklist
Watertown, SD - Jan 10, 2013 - The NATE Equipment Basics Checklist was developed by the NATE Safety and Education Committee as a resource for the industry. A checklist by definition is a type of informational job aid used to reduce failure by compensating for potential limits of human memory and attention. It helps to ensure consistency and completeness in carrying out a task. A basic example is the "to do list."
The NATE Equipment Basics Checklist allows tower industry personnel to document the status of their field equipment, take notes and rate them under the categories of satisfactory condition or remove from service. The checklist contains a comprehensive list of tower industry equipment governing the following areas:
■ Daily Vehicle Safety Inspection
■ Daily Basic Job Inspection Forms
■ Daily Basic Employee PPE Inspection
■ Daily Use Rigging Inspection
■ Daily Use Tools and Equipment
■ Instrumentation
■ Hoists
■ Man Baskets
■ Gin Poles
■ Other Miscellaneous Categories
NATE encourages all tower industry personnel and stakeholders to utilize the NATE Equipment Basics Checklist daily to ensure a culture of safety permeates throughout the industry. The checklist is not a legally binding document, but rather a list of recommendations based on safety principles supported by the National Association of Tower Erectors.
Download the checklist or print copies from the link: natehome.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Equipment-Basics-Checklist.pdf.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Alana!
Facts about Alana
- Breed: Beagle Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Alana's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
A Second Chance Animal Shelter
'Where we give animals a second chance.'
5079 Alex Harvin Hwy
Manning, SC 29102
Timid But Sweet
Alana entered the shelter on Feb. 4, 2013. She and her sister Arista were both rescued from the county control. Her birth date is estimated to be November 22, 2012. She's up to date on her vaccines, heart-worm free, and has already been spayed. Due to the fact these little girls spent most of their puppy-hood running the roads and in and out of shelters, they both have trust issues. They lack confidence and courage and are easily frightened. These girls have so much love to give but both are very shy. There is no doubt that they can overcome this. However, they need a patient family with a calm environment to give them the time and attention they need.
Our buisness hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 9am to 3pm.
Other Pets at A Second Chance Animal Shelter, a/k/a Animal Shelter of Clarendon County
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Alana, a Manning Beagle puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Manning, or seeking a Beagle puppy from a breeder in Manning.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manning already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manning breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manning paves the way for another one to be saved.

Here are the St. Patrick's themed learning trays I set-up for my preschooler. Each day I pull out a few trays for her to work on. Sometimes we work together on these activities and sometimes (when I'm confident she understands the task), she'll practice these trays by herself.
End of the Rainbow Game
Source : Criss-Cross Applesauce
Skills Practiced: color identification, turn taking, addition/subtraction readiness
Lucky Charm Graphing
Source: Mrs. Shehan's Full Day Kindergarten
Skills Practiced: creating a graph, interpreting a graph
This is a great math activity for my preschooler! After she uses the Lucky Charm marshmallows to create the graph, she counts up the number of marshmallows in each category and writes those numbers at the top of the graph. Then I ask her questions about the graph using math comparison words (i.e. Which type of marshmallow had the most? Which type of marshmallow had the least?).
Lucky Dog Math Game
Source: Criss-Cross Applesauce
Skills Practiced: identifying/naming numbers 1-20, turn taking
Source: Criss-Cross Applesauce
Skills Practiced: turn taking, color identification, reading color words, coloring, creativity
After playing this game a couple types my preschooler was ready to switch things up a bit. She came up with the idea to make a backwards rainbow, starting with the color purple. She thought this was pretty silly and had a lot of fun with it!
Spring Poem
Source: CanTeach, printable available HERE
Skills Practiced: reading sight words, comprehension, creativity
I couldn't find a St. Patrick's Day poem that was exactly what I was looking for, so instead a picked a spring themed poem! We'll read this poem many times, each time focusing on different literacy skills. The first time I'll read the poem to my preschooler and ask her to close her eyes and imagine the things she hears me read. Then we'll discuss what she imagines. Next we'll read the poem together practicing sight words and words she is able to read using picture clues. Then when she is able to read the poem by herself (some actual word-by-word reading, some memorization) she will glue a copy of the poem into her poetry notebook and draw her own spring pictures.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
