Many people fudge facts on their job applications. But police departments are vigilant about employees who might lie because the reports they write become evidence and legal instruments, and not only could their alteration jeopardize a case, it could result in charges filed against the officer.
So Michelle was summarily dismissed for lying, and the Davie IA report was sent up to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, which certifies police officers. It held a hearing, at which Michelle pleaded no contest. She did send a three-page letter:
"I will stand before you humbled and exposed with nothing to hide. I will answer any questions you have of me to the best of my ability and will gladly clarify any statement made against me," she wrote. "I stand before you the victim of an intentional reprisal [a reference to her mother alerting her employers to look into her past] ... don't dismiss my dream that I've worked so hard to achieve."
The FDLE put Michelle on probation for nine months and allowed her to keep her certificate as a police officer.
To understand why Michelle's mother would pursue her daughter so relentlessly, you need to know about the "Case From Hell," a decade-old family saga that at the time devolved into the most tortured and time-consuming custody battle in Dade County history, and one of the most expensive such litigations in the country. New Times, the Miami Herald, Dateline, and Court TV all covered it extensively. It was a case in which Michelle played a crucial role. For one thing, she wanted her brothers and sisters (there were seven still living at home) taken away from her parents and put in her custody, according to court records, prompting authorities to explore her past to gauge her suitability as a foster mother. Much of the following information was culled from psychological evaluations and police reports from that case.
What Lisette Nogues and her attorney fought to point out during the ordeal was that Michelle was emotionally and psychologically troubled. Entered into the court records were psychiatrists' reports as well as documentation of a series of bizarre incidents from her past that suggested a pattern of deceitful and self-aggrandizing behavior. Enough, at least, that the press summed her up as a "troubled older sister" (Miami Herald, 1992).
The Nogues family is a sprawling household of nine children. Lisette had six kids, including Michelle, from two previous marriages when she wed pediatrician Andres Nogues in 1980. He adopted his new wife's children and the couple had three more of their own. Lisette Nogues was by all accounts a strict mother, a taskmaster, and a devout Catholic. Theirs was a house steeped in Catholic ritual and its attendant baggage -- guilt. She prohibited her children from dating, insisted they attend confession, and delivered spankings to those who misbehaved, according to court records. (Michelle would allege in court her mother doled out actual "beatings" with belts.) Lisette was a Cuban refugee, raised by relatives after her mother died while she was still young. These childhood traumas formed a personality severe, controlling, and determined enough to get through medical school, part of the time as a single mother, ultimately a woman haunted by the fear of losing control, especially over her family. The supreme irony, of course, is that her desire to keep the family together through that control is what would break it apart.
By 1983 the family had moved to Richmond, Virginia, where Lisette was a medical resident in a local hospital. Andres took care of the family. They had a large Southern house with a front porch and a back yard where they kept several pet rabbits in a locked cage. To their neighbors they would seem like a typical big, Catholic, Latin family. But the sheen of normalcy was abruptly smeared in November 1983 when the rabbits disappeared and were later found mutilated. Michelle, who was in high school at the time, reported finding an envelope in her school locker containing a severed rabbit's paw and a note asking, "Have you seen your rabbits lately?" according to a police report of the incident. Not long after, more of the missing rabbits were found dead on the Nogueses' back porch, their hind legs broken, their eyes gouged out. The family hastily buried the carcasses. The day after the pets were interred Michelle claimed to have found another note along with a severed ear from one of the previously buried rabbits in her locker. Unbeknownst to her, police and school officials had been investigating the first incident. They even set a trap for the perpetrators by surveilling Michelle's locker. When Michelle received the second note, officials had not seen anyone but Michelle using the locker. Eventually both police and school officials concluded that Michelle "was responsible," according to what principal Carroll Cloninger told Metro-Dade Police in a report. Henrico County Police Ofcr. Frank Curran said in that same report that they concluded Michelle had "made some stuff up" and "was involved."
Michelle denied it. Authorities wanted her to take a polygraph, but her parents would not allow it. Lisette Nogues has said that at the time she was "in denial" that her daughter could do something like that. Michelle's parents took her out of school, believing she was in danger, and roughly a year later the family moved to Miami.

Figure 1.1 Client/Server information islands
From this business-as-usual picture of client/server computing, it's immediately apparent that by deploying multiple servers, an organization automatically creates unconnected islands of information. Each island is accessible by one computer but not the others. If Computer B needs to use data that was produced by Computer A, that data has to be copied to Computer B.
There are several techniques for moving data between computers: backup, file transfer; and interprocess communication, to name a few. But the real issue is that the information services organization has to acquire and manage the extra resources required both to copy data from Computer A to Computer B and to store it at both sites. There's no business reason for this duplication of effort, other than that a computer needs data that was produced by another computer.
There's a more serious implication of an information processing strategy that relies on regular copying of data from computer to computer. Computers that receive data copies are often forced to work with data that is out of date simply because it's physically impossible to make copies in a timely fashion. Moreover, the extra operational complexity introduced by having to copy data between servers creates additional opportunity for costly errors.
Contrast this with the SAN based distributed system architecture illustrated in Figure 1.2.
Figure 1.2 A SAN eliminates islands of information
With a SAN, the concept of a single host computer that owns data or storage isn't meaningful. All of the servers in Figure 1.2 are physically connected to all of the storage devices. If Server F needs data that was produced by Server E, there's no need to copy it, because Server F can access the devices on which Server E stored the data. All that's required is a logical change of storage device ownership from Server E to Server F or better yet, an agreement by Server E to stay out of the way while Server F is actively using the data.
Universal storage connectivity has some pretty powerful implications for information services departments:
- There's no need to devise mid schedule data transfers between pairs of servers.
- There's no need to purchase and maintain extra storage for temporarily staging one server's data at another server.
- There's no need to worry about whether copies of data being used by two computers running different applications are synchronized (i.e., have exactly the same contents), because the two computers are working from the same copy of data.
Indeed, at this simplistic level, it's hard to see how any organization responsible for electronic information processing could not want a SAN. Let's drill still deeper and see how true that is.
What Makes a Good SAN?
The completely interconnected SAN architecture shown on the right side of Figure 1.2 is intuitively attractive, but if it's going to be the I/O backbone of an information services operation, it needs to have couple of qualities:
A SAN must be highly available. A single SAN connecting all computers to all storage puts a lot of enterprise information accessibility eggs into one basket. The SAN had better be pretty indestructible or the enterprise could literally be out of business. A good SAN implementation will have built-in protection against just about any kind of failure imaginable. As we will see in later chapters, this means that not only must the links and switches composing the SAN infrastructure be able to survive component failures, but the storage devices, their interfaces to the SAN, and the computers themselves must all have built-in strategies for surviving and recovering from failures as well.
The I/O performance of a SAN must grow or scale as the number of interconnected devices grows. If a SAN interconnects a lot of computers and a lot of storage, it had better be able to deliver the performance they all need to do their respective jobs simultaneously. A good SAN delivers both high data transfer rates and low I/O request latency. Moreover, the SAN's performance must be able to grow as the organization's information storage and processing needs grow. As with other enterprise networks, it just isn't practical to replace a SAN very often.
On the positive side, a SAN that does scale provides an extra application performance boost by separating high-volume I/O traffic from client/server message traffic, giving each a path that is optimal for its characteristics and eliminating cross talk between them.
The investment required to implement a SAN is high, both in terms of direct capital cost and in terms of the time and energy required to learn the technology and to design, deploy, tune, and manage the SAN. Any well-managed enterprise will do a cost-benefit analysis before deciding to implement storage networking. The results of such an analysis will almost certainly indicate that the biggest payback comes from using a SAN to connect the enterprise's most important data to the computers that run its most critical applications.
But its most critical data is the data an enterprise can least afford to be without. Together, the natural desire for maximum return on investment and the criticality of operational data lead to Rule 1 of storage networking:
When designing a SAN to access critical enterprise data, make sure the SAN is highly available (i.e., can survive failures of both components in it and components attached to it) and make sure it can grow well beyond anticipated peak performance needs without disruption.
What Makes a Great SAN?
So the fundamental feature of SANs is universal data storage connectivity. Universal connectivity enables a host of important benefits. Depending on the particular SAN hardware and software components chosen, additional benefits may accrue from advanced functions being built into today's SAN devices. Again, we describe some specific features and benefits later on, but for now we assert Rule 2 of storage networking:
When evaluating SAN implementation options, once the basic capacity, availability, and performance requirements can be met, look for advanced functionality available in the chosen architecture and consider how it might be used to further reduce cost or enhance the information services delivered to users.

Tupper Lake On Feb. 25, The Wild Center held a free "Art of Maple Sugaring Breakfast and Workshop" to kick off its community maple sugar initiative.
Many braved the snowy conditions to come for free sausage and pancakes (not to mention maple cotton candy) and to learn about the process of making maple sugar products and The Wild Center's plan to build a community maple sugar program in Tupper Lake.
Interested residents of Tupper Lake can join the project and will receive a loaner maple tap and bucket to help get them started. Residents then tap their own maple trees, the sap from which Wild Center volunteers pick up regularly during the maple sugar season, which is beginning now.
The sap is then boiled down to maple syrup by The Wild Center using their evaporator, and the community member and the museum split the resulting syrup.
"It fits our mission of connecting people with nature," Jen Kretser, Director of Programs at the museum, said. "We've also been working hard with our farm markets and festivals to connect people to the local food movement as well, and this is a great example of that."
Tupper Lake was once a hub of maple sugaring and Wild Center Executive Director Stephanie Radcliffe points out that the sustainable use of the forests for that purpose could be revived.
"It helps keep the working forest working," Radcliffe said. "The logging industry was part of the community – if we can ramp up maple sugaring, that can be too. It is an area of untapped potential – pun intended."
The museum hopes to enlist one hundred residents in the project this year, with plans for growth in both manpower and equipment as the program expands.
"It can be a fun thing for participants to do in the backyard with their kids or something to supplement income," Radcliffe said. "I love seeing the intergenerational exchange of info. A lot of people are here because they saw their grandparents do it."

The Small-Mart Revolution: How Local Businesses Are Beating the Global Competition (Bk Currents)by Michael H Shuman
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Defenders of globalization, free markets, and free trade insist there's no alternative to mega-stores like Wal-Mart — Michael Shuman begs to differ. In ""The Small-Mart Revolution, Shuman makes a compelling case for his alternative business model, one in which communities reap the benefits of ""going local"" in four key spending categories: goods, services, energy, and finance. He argues that despite the endless media coverage of multinational conglomerates, local businesses give more to charity, adapt more easily to rising labor and environmental standards, and produce more wealth for a community. They also spend more locally, thereby increasing community income and creating wealth and jobs. ""The Small-Mart Revolution presents a visionary yet practical roadmap for everyone concerned with mitigating the worst of globalization. Review:"Shuman begins his book about the 'local-first' movement by describing his annual trip to Wal-Mart to purchase a sturdy yet inexpensive pair of sneakers; he concludes it with a visit to his physical therapist, who tells him those same sneakers have exacerbated his chronic back pain. These two anecdotes provide context for Shuman's thesis: locally owned businesses are more beneficial to their communities than massive chains like Wal-Mart. The author (Going Local: Creating Self-Reliant Communities in a Global Age) outlines strategies that small and home-based businesses-and, by extension, consumers, investors and policymakers-can follow to compete against the world's largest companies; his strategies hinge on going local, though some ideas are more credible than others (readers are advised to shop at locally owned businesses and do business with local banks, but to forego credit cards, as 'nearly all credit card processing is nonlocal'). Shuman writes in a surprisingly lively and occasionally self-deprecating style uncommon to business texts, and his research is backed with hundreds of source notes. Though Shuman has his moments of naïve idealism, his 'don't get mad, get even' ideology will resonate with forward-thinking consumers and small business owners." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Book News Annotation:American business consultant Shuman explains the devastation giant multinational corporation wreak on local economies and societies, the alternative of local ownership and import substitution, and the competitive advantage of being small. Then he suggests how consumers, investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers, community builders, and even globalizers can help. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Synopsis:Defenders of globalization, free markets, and free trade insist there's no alternative to mega-stores like Wal-Mart. Shuman begs to differ. In this work, the author makes a compelling case for an alternative business model, one in which communities reap the benefits of ""going local"" in four key spending categories. Synopsis:Offers an alternative model to the dominant view of economic development, a model that liberates and fosters the natural capacities of local businesses to grow and prosper. This book shows readers how easy and beneficial it is to "go local" in their four key spending categories: goods, services, energy and finance.
Synopsis:Outlines a range of practical strategies for fighting globalization through profit- and community-minded small business practices, addressing the needs of four key spending categories that communities can meet to create local resources and job opportunities.

Ingredients & Description
FibroBoost® contains Seanol®, a unique polyphenol complex from brown algae (Ecklonia cava). Seanol is produced using a patented extraction process that creates a complex of ten sea-based polyphenols. Widely studied for their health benefits, polyphenols are a diverse class of naturally occurring compounds found abundantly in the vegetable kingdom. Polyphenols from land growing plants are largely water soluble, breaking down rapidly in the body when consumed in food. In contrast, Seanol polyphenols are hydrophobic (repelled by water and therefore non-water-soluble); this allows them to remain in the body for up to twelve hours before being metabolized and excreted, greatly enhancing their beneficial health effects.
Suggested Adult Use: Take one to three capsules, two times daily before meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Do not exceed 6 capsules in a 24-hour period.
Supplement Facts FibroBoost® featuring Seanol® Serving Size: |
Ecklonia cava Extract (Seanol®) | 1200mg | ÃÂ |
Other Ingredients: vegetable capsule, rice powder, magnesium stearate (vegetable source).

Assessing the Quality of Acoustic Environments and the Costs of Noise
Roberts Hall, Room 101
The National Park Service is required to protect and restore acoustic resources, treating them as physical resources like air, water, and geologic resources. Monitoring data from more than 50 locations document extraordinarily low background sound levels that can exist in many remote locations and the pervasive impact of noise. At many sites, noise is audible about one-third of every hour between 0800 and 2100 hours.
Kurt Fristrup, Senior Scientist for the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division of the National Park Service in Fort Collins, will address how flexible biological responses are to noise and whether those responses are consequential.

(Helena, MT) – It's 6 am on Saturday morning, and you've decided to load up your gear and head to the mountains for an exhilarating day of skiing. How do you decide where to go? Sure, you could boot up your computer and click through website after website, checking out the different snow reports for your favorite spots – but that can cut into the precious time you should be spending knee-deep in fresh powder.

Well, your winter wish has come true. The Montana Office of Tourism's Ski Montana website (http://skimt.com) aggregates the individual snow reports from Montana's ski resorts so you can compare the latest new snow fall, summit depth, and number of lifts in operation.

2010 UVa-Wise Technology Symposium set for Oct. 7
"Technology from 10,000 Feet" is the theme for this year's technology symposium, set for Oct. 7 at The University of Virginia's College at Wise.
The 2010 UVa-Wise Technology Symposium will focus on communicating a "non-techie" view of technology and how it affects the bottom line for businesses and nonprofit organizations.
The cost of the symposium is $35, which includes lunch. The symposium takes place on the fifth floor of the C. Bascom Slemp Student Center from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Presenters will discuss topics such as return on investment, purchasing standards and practices, research and adoption of new technology and other topics from a non-technical viewpoint.
This symposium will help the non-technical business leader to better understand technology and how it relates to overall operations and the best use of the technology tools by employees. Technical staff and management all benefit by getting a better perspective of operational costs, cash flow concepts and return on technological investment within their organization.
The key speaker this year is Dr. Troy Sybert, chief medical information officer for Wellmont Health Systems. Sybert will address the points crucial for organizational leaders to know about technology and how it affects their operation and customers.
More information and online registration form can be found at http://www.uvawise.edu/oit/TechSymposium on this site.

Robin's Healthy Take: Healthier Chips
by Robin Miller in Uncategorized, March 5, 2012Everyone loves chips. The salt. The crunch. The flavor. What most people don't love is the fat, calories and guilt that go along with most chips. Fried chips, that is. I've been baking chips for years and everyone adores them. I've also been changing up flavor combinations and wanted to share my three favorites. First, my kale chips; crisp and light with a touch of crunchy sea salt. Next, I coat my sweet potato chips with maple syrup and kosher salt, which creates a wonderful contrast of sweet and salty in every bite. Last, my Yukon gold chips. I add curry for its warmth and distinct flavor. Enjoy every chip without guilt and then send me YOUR favorite chip recipes!
Sea Salted Kale Chips
1 bunch fresh kale, rinsed well and patted dry
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, preferably coarse sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut leaves away from thick kale stems and rip leaves into bite-size pieces. Place kale in a large bowl, add olive oil and toss to coat leaves. Arrange kale on a large baking sheet, in a single layer and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake 12-15 minutes, until leaves are crisp and golden brown around the edges.

A new Android-based games console called GameStick has made its debut on Kickstarter. Developed by PlayJam, the GameStick is a thumb drive-sized machine that plugs directly into your TV through an available HDMI port. GameStick promises an open-source games platform that challenges the traditional console publishing model. The GameStick emphasizes portability. The entire system is housed within the HDMI adapter which includes a 1.5GHz dual-core Amlogic 8726-MX processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of flash storage and integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chips. The system is capable of running graphically-intensive Android games at HD resolution.
GameStick will begin shipping in April. It will be accompanied with a dedicated Bluetooth controller, which features dual-analog and d-pad controls, as well as a port for housing the HDMI adapter for portability. Software-wise, the GameStick will be powered by Google's Android 4.1 operating system (Jelly Bean). The company claims to have 200 supported games in the pipeline, as well as partnerships and negotiations with over 250 developers. The system will feature a custom designed UI.

- 8 medium chile pods
- 3 cup(s) water
- 3 whole(s) garlic cloves
- 1/2 small onion
- 1 tablespoon(s) canola oil
- 3 cup(s) water
- 1.5 tablespoon(s) cornstarch or flour
- 1 pinch(es) salt to taste
- 24 tortillas
- 6 cup(s) cheese
- Boil chile pods, garlic and onion in 2-3 cups water. They are ready when they are soft and turn bright red. Let cool for about 10-15 minutes. Blend chile, garlic and onion in blender until smooth. Meanwhile, heat oil in pan. Pour blended chile through a strainer into pan with oil (be careful - it may splatter!). Add 3-4 cups water to blender to get as much of the chile out as you can, remember to pour through strainer. Add salt to taste and bring to a simmer. Use flour or cornstarch mixed with water to thicken the sauce to however you like. Remove from heat. Let sauce stand for a good 15 minutes before you start rolling the enchiladas. You won't burn your fingers as much. On medium, heat a griddle to soften tortillas with oil. Use about 1/2 tbsp for 3-4 tortillas. Once tortilla is soft, drop it in the sauce to cover both sides slightly with sauce. Place on a plate and add a small handful (or more if you like) of cheese/onions/ground beef on bottom half of tortilla. Roll as tightly as you can and place in your baking dish. Do the same for remaining tortillas. After you finish rolling all enchiladas, pour remaining sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle more cheese/onions/ground beef on top. Add olives if you'd like. You can also place them in the oven at about 350 to melt cheese further.

Midfielder Liam Palmer admits he is "gutted" Tranmere were unable to hold on to three points at Stevenage on Saturday.
Ronnie Moore's side were seconds away from recording a 1-0 win against their promotion rivals, before Greg Tansey fired a last-gasp equaliser for the hosts.
Palmer, on loan from Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, has been an ever-present for the table-toppers this season and believes they were hard done by on Saturday.
He told the club's official website: "I think we definitely deserved to win, over the course of the 90 minutes we were the better side.
"When you concede with 20 seconds left it's always disappointing, especially when we've played as well as we did. So I'm gutted.
"We were unlucky not to get the three points. That's just the way it happens sometimes."

First Nigel Mansell comes slamming Jenson Button:
"Jenson should have won more races, he has under-performed and that is down to him," Mansell told the BBC.
"He had the opportunity and he didn't take it; there won't be any more."
Next Eddie Irvine picked on the McLaren duo:
"The disrespect Lewis Hamilton showed to Ron Dennis was quite unbelievable in my opinion," Irvine told Virgin Media.
"Lewis is playing a particularly polished and clever game when it comes to appearing cleaner-than-clean to the media but his arrogance is starting to come out now.
"Success is starting to go to his head and, whilst I challenge any man on the planet in his position not let it do so, the way both he and Alonso are behaving is beyond childish – and the way he behaved in Hungary is beyond belief."
He also saved some words for Alonso:
"As for Alonso, a two-time World Champion should have more brains than he does," he continued.
"To block Lewis like that in qualifying was one of the most stupid things I've ever seen and it reminded me of Michael Schumacher's move on Jacques Villeneuve at Jerez in 1997.
"I can't condone cheating, but if you must do it, there's got to be a subtler way!"
And something for both of them:
"Personally, I'd take both of them out of their cars for a couple of races to teach them a lesson."
I pretty much agree with what Irvine had to say and that does not need much comment. As for Nigel Mansell's words, I am not really sure what opportunity he had in mind. The only time Button had a good car, was 2004 BAR. Unfortunatelly that was also a year of dominant Ferrari … But can probably agree with his view on Button's future. An odd race win here and there may be possible … But unless Honda builds a winner of a car, he does not stand much chance of winning any titles … I do not see McLaren, Ferrari, BMW or Renault hiring him, and looks to me that the champions in near future will come from these teams only … Move to other teams would not make much sense, so it is either a title with Honda or no title at all…

"All these years it has been like a puzzle for me. Like I sort of understood everything, but it was not clear to me in many ways. Well, I finally had that ahha moment, after your class, going home and reading everything over... It was like I had put on glasses that I didn't ever know I needed." - Doula Christina Carino-Forrest, New York City
Common questions about Gail Tully's Classes and Workshops
Q: How do I get a workshop in my area? A: Please read my page on sponsoring a workshop.
Q: Where is the next Spinning Babies Workhop? A: Please look at my events calendar.
Q: What does the workshop cost? A: Prices vary with location, venue, and sponsoring agency. Please look at the events calendar and/or the registration link for the cost.
Q: Will you come speak at our conference? A: Each year I speak at Midwifery Today. In addition, I choose 1-2 national birth related conferences a year. Regional and state conferences can use the same class topics, costs, and other guidelines for Spinning Babies Workshop sponsors. It is cost effective to arrange the state or regional conference around my full day workshop.
Q: How can I get a student discount, disparity provider, sliding fee, or work exchange option?
A: A hostess or sponsor booking the workshop is covering the tasks for the workshop in exchange for admission. She is working consistently from booking through set up and clean up to make this workshop happen. Book as a hostess or be a sponsor (or invited by a sponsor) to participate in a work exchange arrangement.
I have chosen to make everyone's registration less rather than making a sliding fee scale, offering a student discount or making arrangements with participants who are not in the sponsor or hostess group.
I've kept the cost of the workshop low on purpose.
This personal and business boundary allows me to continue to meet the considerable expenses to bring this message. There is a generous cancelation policy to allow you to rest assured that if you need to cancel for a birth you get a full refund if you follow the steps given for how to receive a refund (below).
Q: Is there a discount for attending the second time, third or forth time? A: See the same reasons I listed above.
Q: Are there CEUs-- Continuing Education Units or contact hours? A: Yes, see either my page on sponsoring a workshop or my events calendar.
Those of you yet to certify as a midwife or doula can use the certification of attendance as proof of education. Add a line to your curriculum Vitae (CV).
Q: I received electronic handouts in my email. Will there be printed handouts for me to pick up at the workshop? A: No, if you received electronic handouts in the email, the workshop sponsor will NOT also provide printed handouts. Please print a set of handouts to bring with you.
Q: Is there certification involved? A: You will get a certification of attendance. You will not be a certified Spinning Babies presenter or certified "Baby Spinner." That level of knowledge is much too involved to learn in one workshop, even by repeating it. Your certification of attendance is proof of the contact hours for the workshop.
Q: Is the workshop the same as the website? A: No. But you will recognize the terms and techniques.
Q: May I bring my baby/child? A: Babies under 5 months are fine to attend.
Q: Is there a refund if I have to cancel? A: (below)

"TAKE THIS CLASS. I took it when Gail came to Houston and it was so informative. I used the pelvic floor release [ aka, sidelying release with] a client last week. Long story short, after 16-hrs of hard labor and stuck at 1.5cm, -1, 90%, I did the pelvic floor release that Gail taught us and TWO HOURS later she was 9 cm, 2, 100%!! I was shocked!!! Even if you don't take Gail's class, read every page of her website. This stuff is the real deal." - Jessica Gonzales, Doula. That was in 2011 and Jessica came back for a second go in 2012!

Belly Painting
Belly painting isn't officially part of Belly Mapping, but mothers are requesting that it be!
Once a mother has finished Belly Mapping you can apply what you see on her Belly Map to paint the actual position of the baby on a pregnant woman's abdomen. Its a fun bonding experience for the mother - and the painter!
"On returning home from this study day on Friday night, my current client had e-mailed me to say her baby was breech. They had only just realized even though she was 38 weeks last Thursday. I sent her a link to Spinning Babies website and we talked on Sunday about the different exercises as she had been offered a ECV Monday afternoon and she wanted to make more room for the baby. I've just had an e-mail from her and when the scanned her before the ECV, the baby was HEAD DOWN!!!! WOWOWOWOWOW!!!! I'm SO pleased for her and really excited about putting what I learned Friday into practice already and getting results!!" -BirthBliss Doula Services
Gail also offers Midwifery level workshops:
- Resolving Shoulder Dystociaas a 3-hr, or 5-hour option.
- Breech Basics, 3-hour, with hands-on practice in the afternoon.
- Electronic handouts are common. If you receive them in your email, please print them for your use. If electronic handouts are provided, then printed ones will not be available to you at the workshop. This arrangement helps Gail keep the costs down and reduces travel stress. The handouts will be available to students online soon.
Either workshop may follow a Spinning Babies Workshop in a 3-hour evening session, 6:30-9:30 pm.
Or, if you want both, follow Spinning Babies with RSD and Breech Basics as a full second day for baby catchers (birth care providers).

When Gail travels to offer a Spinning Babies Workshop, she likes to gather with the local midwives in the evening for this workshop. Appropriate for out-of-hospital or in-hospital providers.
"Shoulder dystocia isn't so intimidating anymore!" - says Salli G. midwife, and online RSD student
Breech Basics for Midwives
The basics of physiological breech birthing. Signs of a safe breech vs. signs of dystocia - an obstructed breech. When is it too late for transport? Upright breech benefits, resolving breech shoulder dystocia and head entrapment. Does "hands-off-the-breech" really mean us? Includes a little practice (low tech!) and in depth discussion of complications. Gail has learned from many breech experts all over the world in classes in 3 continents. She has handled just about all of the emergencies she presents in her class. 3 hrs, ACNM has awarded .3 CEUs.
"... I was blessed to attend Gail's "Spinning Babies" and "Shoulder Dystocia" workshops when she came to our hometown, Eugene, Oregon! We had the events at my friend Anita Rojas' birth center with the lovely hospitality of Anita and the midwives there.
I learned so very much from Gail. She is a fountain of information which she presents well with models and videos to help us understand what we cannot see within a mother's body. She spices her presentation with birth stories to illustrate the points. We learned how the baby makes her way down and out and how it involves the mom's bones, muscles and ligaments. There are dystocias that can happen just from the round ligament! The mom's body and this process are so amazing. God is brilliant!
Besides these marvelous events, Gail and I got to get Vietnamese food together. If you come to town that is where we will go to lunch! Gail and I talked about our calling, how we got into this amazing field and our journey while in it, along with our birth plans for the future. Much to my joy, these future plans involve us working together. We talked about our families and life, philosophies, ideas and ideals. You know how it is when two midwives get together? We could have talked until midnight! Come join us [at a Midwifery Today Conference] where we will have the chance to talk until midnight! — Jan Tritten" Midwifery Today

Casio's Exilim lineup of cameras is all a modicum of quality in the smallest possible form. Its forthcoming W63CA cellphone, then, will make for an interesting change: only Sony Ericsson pushes particularly hard on the cam-phone convergence front, and its high-quality models are not very thin at all. Here's the FCC approval documentation, which reveals a startlingly slim machine – especially when you consider the 8 megapixel sensor.
Sure, megapixels are a shabby measure, artificially inflated at the cost of quality by forcing crummy sensors to do more work with less light. But still, isn't it a cutie? Japanese carrier KDDI is stamped on the sticker, but that it's been slapped on the FCC's desk offers hope we'll see it stateside.

Contained in the familiar pleather checkbook holder, Karma Checks consists of two separate booklets�one for Good Karma and one for Bad Karma. The checks are preprinted with messages that apply to common daily scenarios. Good Karma Checks are intended for acknowledging positive moments (receiving an unsolicited favor, being served by a waiter who doesn't rush the table, having an excellent conversation with a stranger), while Bad Karma Checks are for admonishing bad behavior (talking loudly on a cell phone in a public place, chatting during a movie, stealing a parking spot). Fun to fill out and eminently practical, the Good Karma Checks are perfect for leaving on a recipient's desk or tucking into a thank-you note. If you aren't feeling bold enough to actually issue a Bad Karma Check, at least you'll have the satisfaction of glaring at the perpetrator as you privately write one out!

RUCH, Ore. — Local vineyards are raising a glass after the so-called "wine growler bill" passed in the House with a unanimous vote.
House Bill 2443 has both wineries and consumer excited about future possibilities. The bill passed the House on Wednesday without a single vote against it.
House Bill 2443 would allow consumers to fill re-usable containers, up to two gallons, with wine. Local wineries say this would have a positive impact for their business, their consumers, and the environment.
Officials at Valley View Winery in Ruch say should the bill become law, they would get started as soon as they could by having a keg of white and possibly red wine available in their wine tasting room.
The owner of Valley View Winery, Michael Wisnovsky, says this is something his father wanted to do years ago and thinks the potential change would to open his winery up to more business opportunities.
"We can get the wine directly to the customer in a very efficient manor without having to go through all of the container, the glass, the label, the corks, you know all those things, the trucking and all that will be eliminated," said Wisnovsky.
Valley View Winery officials say if the bill passes, fewer bottles, corks and labels will be used, which saves money and helps the environment. The next step for the bill is to have the senate vote on it, where local wineries think will pass with little opposition.

Miley Cyrus Engaged To Liam Hemsworth!
Miley Cyrus, the bubbly and outspoken 19-year-old singer, is engaged to gorgeous Hollywood hunk, Liam Hemsworth.
She tweeted this morning: "Life is Beautiful." Duh! How could it not be beautiful for this young and in love couple?
According to USA Today, Hemsworth, 22, proposed with a 3.5-carat Neil Lane Diamond on May 31. (We feel a little late to the engagement party in the USA!)
Cyrus tells People about the happy news: "I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam." The singer has a lot to look forward to now, as she'll be planning a wedding and is in the studio recording a new album while her fiancé is filming Empire State in New Orleans. Is Miley Cyrus Engaged To Hunky Aussie?
Hemsworth is also looking forward to the next Hunger Games film and ahem, marrying the love of his life! He once told Who Magazine he wasn't sure what Cyrus loved in him and joked, "I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm kind of a goof."
The pair first met in 2009 on the set of The Last Song and have been dating for the past three years. Nothing like a tearjerker of a love film to bring two talents and beautiful people together – maybe they owe Nicholas Sparks a big thank you!
Congrats to the happy couple!
Tell us: What do you think about this engagement?

- The first 25 miles are "honor" miles. Kids get the most from this experience if they earn these miles. Measure a safe, secure route, which will allow easy record keeping. A typical city block for example, is approximately 1/4 mile around. The track at the local high school is 1/4 mile around. You can even measure a route inside your home and run/walk it to reach the mileage goal. We encourage you to join your kids and make this a family event. Please follow the training tips on the registration brochure.
- As your marathoner completes his/her goals, he/she can keep track of progress using the following trackers:
- Please present the "award tokens" at 5, 10, 15 and 20 miles (kids can choose the award they want). Present the chain with the first award token. Upon completion of 25 miles, present the 25-mile award. Special Read, Do-Right and Run Certificates are also iincluded and should be handed out for each goal reached. Make the awards presentation a special time. Recognition is important!
- The final 1.2 miles will start at 10:00am on Saturday November 28, 2015 at the Seattle Center. Kids and parents should arrive no later than 9:00am at the kids staging area located inside Memorial Stadium in the north bleachers, where we will have pre-event activities. Make sure to bring your tracking meters so we can post them at the event on Race Day! Kids, parents and race officials will move from there to the Start Line together.
- Please Note! Parents/Coaches, you may run with your child, but it is not mandatory. If you do choose to run, you will be required to wear a bib/runners number. For safety, no one is allowed on the course without a bib. Each child may have only one adult accompanying them. Every child who enters the event will be given two bibs with the same number—one for the child and one for an accompanying adult. For lost parent/child reasons, the child and adult bibs will both contain the child's information. If you have a younger child in a stroller accompanying you, that child will have to be entered in the event and have a bib number to be on the course.

Summer Fest: Top Ten Things to Do With Tomatoes
by Michelle Buffardi in In Season, Tomatoes, August 25, 2010We're teaming up with other food and garden bloggers to host Summer Fest 2010, a season-long garden party. Each week we'll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you're harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. To join in, check out awaytogarden.com.
You say tomato. I say . . . well I say tomato, too. I don't actually know anyone who says to-mah-to. However you pronounce it, I think we can all agree that tomato season doesn't last long enough. So until someone figures out how to extend fresh tomato season by another 10 months or so, here are 10 ways you can enjoy them while we have them, and even preserve some for later.
10. Make sauce. Tomato sauce is quite possibly the most popular method of tomato consumption; even self-proclaimed tomato-haters eat the stuff on pasta and pizza. So while you're up to your ears in garden-fresh tomatoes, make a pot of sauce. Eat some now and freeze the rest in individual or family-sized servings — come February when there's not a decent tomato in sight, you'll be glad you did.
9. Make a tomato sandwich. No recipe needed — just slice fresh tomatoes, layer on whole-grain bread (I like to toast mine first), sprinkle with salt and pepper and eat. I see nothing wrong with eating this for breakfast, lunch or dinner every day until the tomatoes are gone.
8. How 'bout some gazpacho? It's like salsa soup, minus the chips. Non-traditionalists should try Gazpacho Salad or Rachael Ray's Deconstructed Gazpacho.
7. Tomato salad 5 ways: Panzanella (Tuscan tomato-bread salad), tomato salad stacks, Food Network Magazine's Nectarine-Tomato Salad, Emeril's Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad, or a super-simple Cucumber-Tomato Salad.
6. Dry them in the oven so they last a little longer. Plan on 4 hours of inactive cooking, but every minute is worth it for these oven-dried tomatoes.
5. Can them so they last a lot longer. If you're new to canning, can along with Kitchenette, she has great how-to photos on her blog.
4. Try a Spicy Tomato Jam. It's delicious over grilled chicken or swordfish, or as an accompaniment to cheese and crackers.
3. Swap fresh tomatoes for the sauce on pizza. Fresh tomatoes are so flavorful, you won't need to be heavy-handed with the cheese, making it a sensible way to have your pizza . . . and your figure too! (Try Giada's recipe, pictured above.)
2. Cut 'em up and make bruschetta. With anchovies, or without.
1. Make salsa. Once you see how easy it is to make homemade salsa, you'll shun the jarred stuff forever. I like Alton's recipe and Giada's, but I often just make mine to taste with whatever I have — sometimes I even throw avocado in it.
What did I miss? How do you eat your garden-fresh tomatoes? Let us know here, or join the conversation on twitter at #summerfood.
