Mom to Mom Monday: Tips for and How to pump at work
Posted by Becca on 11/25/2013 to
Breast Feeding
After a glorious four months at home with my new baby boy and four year old daughter, alas, the time has come for me to return to my parttime job as a Spanish teacher. The arrival of this change is bittersweet. The professional in me thrives when Im in my bright, colorful classroom bouncing around with animation and enthusiasm as I try to share my love of foreign language with 20, adorable freshman. That half of me is always looking at things as a lesson: I haveUnivision.com updates on my facebook page so I dont miss any articles that might go with the chapter were working on, I edit little videos I make for my Spanish students on my iPhone while holding or nursing a sleeping baby, and I take photos of the rain or frost on my way to work so I can display them and ask ¿Qué tiempo hace? when we talk about the weather. The Mommy in me loves being home and wouldnt have minded a couple months more if not a whole year off before going back to teach. As a mother, Im constantly trying to carve out more time for my kids, wracking my brain for ways to be able to both take care of my son and give my daughter the one on one attention she craves, figuring out ways to make folding laundry a fun, family experience, and making sure I take the time to read to and educate a budding preschooler in the sparse moments my son is asleep or calmly nursing.
Both of my babies were exclusively breastfed when I went back to work so I got to experience the fun of pumping while in the workplace. My workplace has been very accommodating of my needs, but I had to be vocal and specific about what those needs were because they wouldnt know unless I told them. Now that Ive been back to work for over a week, Ive compiled a list of things Ive found necessary to successfully express the amount of milk needed to sustain my chubby baby boy while Im gone.
Daily pumping for your little one doesnt begin the day you go back to the office. There should be previous preparation for both you and your baby if you want to make a smooth transition. The following are steps that I highly suggest one take before going back to work while still breastfeeding:
Get a top-of-the-line pump.
With Bunny, I got a midline Evenflo pump. At first it was great because my milk supply was off the charts. But as I pumped throughout the year and my supply relaxed to meet Bunnys need, pumping was less and less effective. Some days I got a full bottle or two, and other days I got nothing after a full half hour of pumping. Thankfully, this did nothing to diminish my milk supply, probably because she drank so little while I was gone. With Bear I saved extra money for a full three months until I could afford a Medela pump. That thing can express milk from a rock! Its amazing and Im really glad I put out the extra money for itthough I wish Id have been less stingy when it came to my first breast pump. It would have saved that money in the long run.
Practice pumping.
I started pumping almost as soon as my milk came in. I didnt do it regularly, and I didnt actually do it in order to practice, per say, but in the beginning, when I had an oversupply, it was necessary once every week or so to partially empty one or both of my breasts so that Baby Bear could catch up with production and I wouldnt be walking around engorged all day. Also, there were times when I left him with his Daddy or a family member for a couple of hours at a time that required some pumping. This happened every week or twoenough that I knew how to use and clean my machine efficiently.
Have some extra milk.
The practice with the pump gave us about 20 or so extra ounces of breast milk in our freezer. This has been helpful since its hard to know how many ounces a breastfed baby actually eats. When I first went back to work, having this extra milk meant my husband and I could figure out how many ounces Bear actually consumes in my absence, without having to resort to formula or having him go hungry if I didnt pump enough.
Practice leaving.
This is definitely easier with the second baby than it is with the first. I remember being in tears the first time I left little Bunny with my mom so I could go see my doctor for only an hour or two. I was sad to leave Bear for the first time, of course, but it wasnt a big deal. Leaving your baby for a couple hours at a time to go shopping or to the dentist is good practice both for you and your baby. Also, it gives you a chance to practice pumping.
Introduce a bottle.
This one is really important and can be somewhat tricky. If you want your baby to exclusively breastfeed, then its important to establish that first before introducing a bottle. Its best to wait 2-4 weeks until introducing any other nippleeven a pacifier to your baby (although we broke that rule and gave a pacifier to Bear at about 3 or 4 days old, but he was already a strong nurser at that point). However, if you wait too long, they might never take the bottle, which theyll need to learn how to do. Once the bottle is introduced, you should make sure that your baby practices with it once in awhile. Bear got a bottle once every week or two in the four months leading up to my returning to work. Bunny practiced with it nearly every day after turning two weeks old both because she hated it and because I went back to work when she was only six weeks old. Now, Ive had two very different experiences with each child when it came to giving a bottle for the first time. Bunny hated it. It was traumatic and awful for her from the start. She wanted Mommy, and nothing else really helped. In the 9 months that I had to pump for her, she never ate more than 23 ounces in my absense. She ate as little as possible while I was gone and then made up for it by pouncing on me the moment I walked through the door. We did try a couple of different bottles with Bunny and found that the ones with the largest nipple base worked bestbottles like Nuk and Tommee Tippee. She liked to chomp on them and hold it the same way she did my breast. Bear, on the other hand, doesnt really care where the milk comes from as long as it gets to his belly (though he wont take it cold), and it doesnt really matter which bottle we give him either. We do like the Playtex Nurser, however, because it eliminates air intake and lessons any gas problems.
Mom and the Bottle.
Its best if Mom isnt the one to give the baby a bottle. The baby should be around Mommy and know that its time to breastfeed. This will help prolong nursing for as long as possible. I offered Bunny a bottle once, and it was out of desperation while we were in a car on a long trip. She didnt take it, by the way. I did the same with Bear, and though he will take a bottle no problem, he didnt want anything to do with it. I dont know if this was because I offered it or if it was due to the restraint of the car seat.
Nipple confusion.
Nipple confusion might happen, even if you do wait up to as much as four weeks before introducing a bottle. It happened with Bunny and for a week or two she resisted both the bottle and the breast. It required patience, perseverance, and a good bit of walking and bouncing as I nursed her, but I didnt give up and I didnt offer her the bottle. Eventually, she became comfortable doing both. Even though she didnt drink much from the bottle, she became comfortable enough with it that she didnt scream and arch her back when it was offered.
At Work
Talk to your superiors.
Legally, your workplace is obligated to provide you a place (a private place that is not a bathroom) and the time to pump. My job was extremely accommodating and obliging about this.
Find a place to pump.
Depending upon where you work, finding a private, comfortable place to pump may pose a challenge. A month before I had to be back at my job, I went in on a day my husband had off (which gave me an opportunity to pump and give my son some bottle practice) and I not only observed my long term sub and looked over my teaching materials, but I also spent an hour or more scoping the school and talking to secretaries and administrators about finding a good place to pump. Originally, I was given the visitors locker room. It was ideal because it locked from the inside and had a place where I could sit and relax in privacy. However, once I went back to work, I found that this locker room is often used as a storage space. Pumping while squished between the benches and folded up choir risers wasnt working. One of the custodians kindly gave me use of his office for pumping. Three times a week I have a schedule that requires leaving a classroom full of kids to pump, so I go in his office which is maybe 30 feet from mine, lock the door, and pump in privacy. Thankfully, there are also times where I can just lock myself in my classroom and pump. When Bunny was nursing, I pumped during lunch, but since I go in earlier and leave earlier for Baby Bear, thats no longer possible.
Schedule it.
When youre at home taking care of your kids, they are the priority. You dont have to remind yourself to meet their needs. When youre at work, your job is the immediate priority. Your thoughts are constantly on your to do list and ways to make things more efficient. Its really hard, sometimes, to stop everything and pump. When my schedule is super tightlike the days I have four classes in a row without any prep timeIm actually better about remembering to pump. I have one day where I have only one class to teach. This is the day I prep for the next week and tie up loose ends. Its harder for me to remember to pump then because my schedule is more open and I have so much to do, but pumping has to be a priority for working mothers who are still breastfeeding. You need to plan when youre going to pump in a given day and then follow that plan. The times may change from day to day depending upon meetings, appointments, and deadlines, but the frequency should not.
Be comfortable.
Get comfortable not only physically but mentally and emotionally. Your best let down will happen when youre relaxed, so do whatever you can to make sure that happenswhich can be difficult to do at work. My advice for this is to forget about your job for a moment and leave any spreadsheets, phone calls, or papers to grade elsewhere. When I pumped with Bunny, I tried to do all those things and I noticed that I got less milk on days when I was trying to multitask. Now that Im back at work after having Bear, I literally drop everything and just pump.
Find a happy place.
A very effective way to help milk letdown while away from your baby is to have photos or videos of him or her handy to look at. I like to prop my iPhone up and watch recent videos of Baby Bear that Ive taken, or set my phone to show a slideshow of all my photos. Then, I just relax and focus on my kids and how much I love him. Sometimes I peruse Facebook or read a book because I also find these things relaxing. Once, I even Facetimed my family while pumping because I knew my husband hadnt left for work . That was the best! The other day, I was reading an interesting article and I hadnt been pumping for 3 minutes when I looked down and realized that the bottles had already filled. So, its actually more efficient for my time and to do list if I just drop it all before pumping.
Find a Routine.
It helps to have a routine for storing milk and washing all the parts of your pump when you get home and before you go to work every day. I like to have my daughters lunches and my sons diaper bag all set up the night before they have to be in daycare and thats the time that I get my pump all ready to go for the next day. At some point, I really want to buy a hand pump to have at work just in case I ever forget some necessary part to my pump. That happened a couple times when Bunny was a baby and I had to figure out a way to awkwardly hand express the milkwhich Ive never been very good at.
Bunny nursed for 25 months and I pumped for one school year (8 months, factoring in my maternity leave). When she was a year old, and I returned back to work, I didnt continue to pump. This was only possible for me, though, because I work part time and I was at a place where we nursed only 3-6 times a day and she wasnt dependant upon breast milk as her only form of nourishment. Towards the end of our nursing days, she only nursed in the wee hours of the morning and before bed. Thats a very easy nursing schedule to maintain around even a full time job.
I realize that some moms look at going back to work as a death sentence to breastfeeding, but it really doesnt have to be that way. As long as pumping is a priority for you, and you are properly prepared to do so (this is barring any other breastfeeding difficulties you may have), you should be able to continue breastfeeding just fine while working. Stress can be a huge contributing factor to diminishing milk supply, so remember to relax.
Keep calm, and pump on!

I really admire moms who work and still manage to pump enough breastmilk to feed their child exclusively.
Kim H
As much as I struggle getting enough pumped just to cover the short times I'm gone or I can't nurse for some reason, I can't imagine needing enough to go back to work! My hat's off to you working mamas!
Leela R.
I'm away from my son for about 12 hrs a day and have been pumping for him for the past 4 months. He's 9.5 months now and I am literally counting the days until he's 1. I've managed to stay on top of my milk supply and provide him with only breastmilk, but I would make a couple of additional suggestions. First is try to get a medical grade rental from your insurance. More and more insurance companies cover them and it is worth it to have the top of the line machine if you're going to be pumping long term. Second is to have a large freezer stash. I have over 200 ounces in the freezer now, but I started with close to 300 ounces. I'm a manager and some days am in meetings the entire day. I try and duck out to pump, but on some days I just can't get the time to get more than 16 ounces when I need 20. Having a large freezer stash completely eliminates my guilt at not being able to pump enough on some days and I don't have to worry about pumping after my son goes to bed, which some moms do if they can't pump enough during the day. Anyway, cheers to my fellow working pumping mamas.
Great points.... I find it difficult to pump a work. I was thinking of trying a manual pump.
Very helpful!
Stephanie Olmsted
Great points. I pumped some with number because my nipples bleed and I needed to give them a little break. With number 2, I never pumped because hubby was deployed and it was just easier to nurse her. Pregnant with number 3 & planning on pumping some to be able to have some me time each week or date nights. These tips will help out.
I haven't found a good place to pump at work. Our university has lactation rooms but they are all a 10-20 minute walk away from where I work ... not exactly convenient for a short break! I pumped in a bathroom once and never again. It's too bad, but there are lots of work environments that make pumping near impossible for lots of ladies. Kudos to those workplaces/bosses/companies who really make an effort to be accommodating! I find a manual pump to be a more discreet way of pumping, easy to do under a cover and to stop and start if you are interrupted by a knock on the door. Still awkward, though, when people walk in and wonder what you are doing!
Jessi Leger
I still need to figure out how to get more when I pump, some days I get more than enough for her to only have breastmilk the next day, other days I only get a few ounces and she has to have a supplemental bottle of formula. Drives me nuts!
Margaret Clarkson
These are great pointers. There are definitely some things that I hadn't considered before.
Ashley H
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I go back to my teaching job in a month (just to finish out the school year) and am hoping that will help make the transition easier for next year. I'll have a completely new schedule and will probably be sharing a classroom come September but I plan to breastfeed/pump for at least a year which I'm finding is a lot harder to get acceptance for than I ever would've imagined.

How To Start Reading Current DC Comics Titles
"Hey...I thought The Ventriloquistthat Batman villain with the split personalitywas an old man. How come they're calling this hot young woman The Ventriloquist?"
"But waitI thought Hal Jordan was Green Lantern. Who the hell is Kyle Rayner and why's he wearing Green Lantern's costume?What do you MEAN Hal Jordan turned evil, tried to blow up the world, and eventually killed himself by flying into the sun? When did THAT happen?"
"...WHO in the WORLD is Booster Gold?"
Two years ago these were just a few of the many questions running through my mind as I attempted, for the first time ever, to try reading DC Comics. With seventy years' worth of comic history staring me in the face, I had no idea where to start, and picked volumes at random under the assumption that I could start anywhere and get an immediate grasp on the characters and situations. Trouble was, ever since the mid-1980's DC has been revising and retconning and rewriting and contradicting hundreds of elements in their canon, killing off old characters to replace them with hip new versions, inexplicably bringing the old versions back to life years later, changing character origin stories to allow for more angst-driven adventures...essentially, turning their entire universe into a multifaceted soap opera that gets increasingly more difficult to pick up and understand the longer you wait to start reading. Events may occur in, say, the Justice League comic that will affect events in the Batman comic, but the Justice League event will not be clearly explained in the Batman story as it is being written under the assumption that everyone reading Batman will also be reading every single other comic DC is publishing (such as Justice League). As well, events may have occurred in one comic issue decades ago, and will be referenced casually in a current issue without any further explanation, again as if the reader has been reading every single issue of that title since the very beginning. In short, it's a confusing world to jump into headfirst with little or no prior experience, so this guide will attempt to ease even the greenest of new readers gently into the deep end with as few ill effects as possible.
Step 1: Read the Greatest Stories Ever Told volume featuring the hero you wish to begin following. Just about every major hero in the DC Universe has their own volume of Greatest StoriesThe Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told, The Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told, The Greatest Flash Stories Ever Told, etc.each containing a wide range of comic stories featuring that lead character in various different decades, from the character's initial creation (most of the major characters originate from the 40's) to whenever the volume was published, generally between the early 90's and early 2000's. This broad sampling of different writing styles, different art styles, and different interpretations of the character is a great way to familiarize yourself with the hero of your choice, and by osmosis, the other characters in their section of the DC Universe, such as their recurring villains and supporting cast. It's a good way to test the waters to find out if this is a character you're really interested in following in current continuity; although admittedly some better stories may exist that are not represented in the volume, possibly having been created after the volume's publication, generally speaking if you consistently dislike a character's portrayal, the types of stories they wind up in, etc. throughout several decades' worth of different interpretations, chances are you won't enjoy the modern version either. For example, after reading The Greatest Green Lantern Stories Ever Told, I found out that I really disliked the character's arrogant personality as well as the "adventures in space" bent to the character's usual plotlines. Thus I was able to come to a decision about the series much more quickly than if I had instead started in on reading through hundreds of issues and hoping that eventually I'd come upon a story that I'd actually enjoy.
Step 2: Watch Batman: The Animated Series or Superman: The Animated Series if you're interested in following either hero. Of course, these cartoon shows from the early and mid-nineties (which have both been released on DVD) are some of the best shows that have ever been produced for television, with superb writing, beautiful animation and fabulous voice casts. But more relevant to this guide, they also offer extremely good introductions to the cast of characters in each series. Not only do they present each hero's origin story in their turn, but almost every villain to appear in either series does so via an origin story episode, so the viewer can get a better feel for the villain's personality by understanding the traumatic events that led him or her to a life of crime. In some cases the villain's backstory may be distinctly different from the one considered "official" in the comic book universefor example, the Riddler is introduced as a former video game designer taking revenge on a greedy employer whereas in the comics he's consistently been portrayed as a con man who simply decided to pull his cons on a grander scalebut overall the essence of the character's portrayal and their dynamic with the hero is generally preserved. Conversely, most of the live action movie adaptations of these comic heroes (The Dark Knight, Superman Returns, etc.) more often dramatically change characters' personalities and sometimes even their powers to either fit the actor playing him or her, or to fit the director's vision for the character, which can be fine for when you're actually watching the movie but would not really help you understand the comic book version of the hero's world, as is the purpose of this guide. If nothing else, watching the cartoon version will provide familiarity with the characters so that encountering them in comic form won't be unduly surprising or confusing.
Step 3: Read at least a selection of pre-90's comics featuring your chosen hero, and try to read as many post-90's comics featuring that hero as possible. The first half of this step is similar to the previous, in that (for the purposes of this guide) the pre-1990 comic books are best for introducing yourself to the various characters that make up your chosen hero's universe, since between the year of each hero's debut and 1990 the characters and the world they resided in were essentially unchanging, with things like Clark Kent always being Superman and always having the exact same relationship dynamic with Lois Lane no matter which comic book you picked up between 1940 and 1990. And, as explained in the previous step, even if the character origins in these eras have been dramatically changed for the modern era, the overall portrayal of personality and style of storyline for both the villains and the supporting cast are fairly similar to the way those characters have behaved in the years since, so reading these older stories is a good way to familiarize yourself with the type of world your chosen hero inhabits. But of course, not every comic from this era must be read, as not only have the bulk of them not been collected in trade paperback format (and trying to buy the original comic issues themselves can get very expensive very fast), but because not all of them are necessary when the goal is just familiarizing yourself with the hero and his or her supporting cast, although certainly if you find you like the stories of a certain era better than those of other eras, no one is stopping you from following up on that line of reading. Rather expensive to buy but could potentially be borrowed via a local library are the Showcase and Archive volumes (for example, Showcase Presents: The Flash and The Plastic Man Archives), which collect stories from the hero's earliest days, generally ranging from the 40's to the 60's. Also acceptable is any trade paperback collection that has at least one pre-1990 publishing date on the inside cover (as the volume may have been published after 1990, but the stories themselves may be from before 1990).
As for the post-1990 comics, many more of these have been collected in trade paperback form, since it was around this time period that the concept of "graphic novels" became popular as well as the industry standard. As many of these comics featuring your chosen hero should be read as possible, since again, these are the stories in which the dynamics of the character's universe were most dramatically changed and when most of the newest characters were introduced. For example, it was in the early 90's that Bart Allen (alias Impulse) was introduced in The Flash comics as the original Flash's grandson from the future, and who has since become Kid Flash in the current comics, as well as briefly being The Flash himself for a total of 13 comic issues in the early 2000's. In short, the comics from 1990 to the present day contain almost every major event that will be referenced in new comics of the series, so the more you can familiarize yourself with these events firsthand, the better you'll be able to better understand characters' seemingly offhand references to them ("You know, guys, back when I spontaneously aged ten years and became The Flash for a while...") in current issues. It's like preparing yourself for the premiere of the fifth season of a TV drama by watching the previous four seasons on DVD; you might be able to mentally fill in the gaps in your understanding by paying close attention to the characters' dialogue in reference to past events, but it's much easier if you've watched those events unfold firsthand.
After you've read these back issues, you'll be ready to start following the current issues when they come out. However, there's still (Auxiliary) Step 4: When in doubt, look it up. Even with all of this preliminary preparation, it's almost inevitable that there will still be references to events that may have concerned your hero but didn't occur in that hero's own title, but rather in a crossover book (like Justice League or Teen Titans) or in a major DC Universe-spanning crossover event with its own miniseries (like Crisis On Infinite Earths or Countdown). This doesn't mean that you need to suddenly read every single other title DC has ever published (unless of course you want to)if you've followed all of the previous steps, have familiarized yourself with the hero and their supporting cast and know almost all of the major life-changing events that have occurred in their comic since 1990, that's all of the necessary legwork. So if a new reference crops up that you don't understand, look it up. For example, I was reading an issue of the Robin comic where Robin thought he'd come face to face with the villain Blockbuster before realizing that it was just a statue, and made a remark about how for a second, he'd thought that "Nightwing was off the hook". It wasn't until after I'd actually read the Nightwing comics that I realized that Robin was making a reference to an event wherein the hero Nightwing had played a part in Blockbuster's murder, thereby violating the superhero code of ethics (thus if Blockbuster was still alive as Robin had momentarily believed, Nightwing would be "off the hook" for this infraction). However, at the time the vague reference was made in the Robin comic, I could have just looked up a character biography of either Nightwing or Blockbuster and gotten an explanation within moments. For the real hard-core DC Comics enthusiasts with extra spending money, I'd recommend The DC Comics Encyclopedia, which is exactly what it sounds like, an encyclopedia featuring almost every major recurring character from every DC Comics series, complete with images, the entire life story from childhood to the events of the most recent issues (as of volume publication), lists of their first appearances, and affiliations with other characters or teams. For the more casual reader, though, both Wikipedia.Org and Comicvine.Com are valuable resources for filling in the blanks. If a character makes a vague reference to something that happened in their past that you're unfamiliar with, search the character's name (or, if they're referring to another character, you search the referenced character's name) into one of the aforementioned sites and skim the character bio until you find something that could explain their remark, like reading about Nightwing's role in Blockbuster's death to explain the "Nightwing was almost off the hook" remark. In short, although your understanding can be assisted by reading or having read several different comic titles, if you're really only interested in the adventures of one particular hero, it's easy enough to find explanations to fill in the gaps.
It may seem like a long, arduous process for the seemingly small reward of being able to read one comic title once a month, and in some ways, it absolutely is. In fact, back in the old days, editors required comic writers to write each issue of a series as if each reader was reading this title for the first time, so anyone who hadn't been following the series before could jump in at any point and understand exactly what was going on. Unfortunately, the comics industry isn't like that anymore; but if reading old comics about your chosen hero or watching animated TV versions of the series aren't activities you would enjoy, then chances are you probably wouldn't enjoy reading the current comics either. But it's certainly best to find out before you find yourself drowning in the deep end of the reading pool.

I found an area here in NW AR that has some promising sign for hog hunting in the Weddington forrest. The land on a ridge was rooted up real good next to a field with a pond. I hope I can get one this year and soon during the cool weather. Do you guys get out and hunt hogs in your part of the state?

Yes I do......also in some of the AR people on here's area
I have been to some of the areas on the state line between AR and MO, it looks pretty steep and rugged. Some areas look like the hogs will be there for a long time! Life in the Ozarks!
I've been a few times here in Arkansas. Used to go all the time in Texas when I was stationed there. My buddies and I used to go with dogs. Haven't found to many signs though here in my part of Arkansas.
I did finally shoot one in the Weddington WMA, while coyote hunting.
I spoke to some local guides that said he knew of a lot around Ft Smith and boarder areas of Oklahoma.

Properly Install Mac Yosemite OS X 11.3 On Windows with VirtualBox 22. November 2014 Fred Mastro Apple/Mac , Operating Systems Comments (0) I have a MacBook Pro but I wanted to use the Mac OS on my desktop for testing purposes only. So I looked up some sites and read through some articles and after trying a few it seemed a couple of steps worked on one site and a couple on another site and then I needed some side steps to get it all working. For example Macbreaker.com has a great article on installing Yosemite on your PC (Non-VM). While as some forum post on xda-developers had a quick and dirty install Yosemite on your VirtualBox from beta, but it didn't work for me. I would get an error Undefined 0 and so I had to track down a solution for that which is geared towards creating a bootable USB drive for Yosemite. During those previous steps I had to figure out how to get the downloaded Yosemite Install from my mac into a format I can put on my Windows 8 machine for my virtualbox. So I had to convert the downloaded app the an ISO format. Though if you combine this with the bootable USB steps I needed, it took a matter of jumping around to get it working. Then to top it off I needed the MultiBeast files for sound, internet etc from the first article. So I've taken the time to organize all the steps from all those articles into one that worked for me and made some flight modifications to the steps where needed. Pre-Req Setup: Install VirtualBox and make sure it shows 64bit OS Options. If you don't have the 64 bit options you need to do one or both of the following. Enable Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-X/AMD-V) in your Bios You have to first remove Hyper-V. (I believe you can add it back afterwards but that's just what I've read, I've never added it back myself). Step 1: Download Yosemite on a Mac System OS X Yosemite (Free): The method used by this guide requires that you download a free copy of the Yosemite installer app from the Mac App Store. Though the Mac App Store is included in Mac OS X 10.6.6 and newer, you have to be running at least 10.6.8 to download Yosemite. Edit: Once that's downloaded then you should be able to run the following commands to start the process of converting the downloaded app into an iso. Step 2: Extract, Mount, Start Creation of ISO files # Mount the installer imagehdiutil attach /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_app # Convert the boot image to a sparse bundlehdiutil convert /Volumes/install_app/BaseSystem.dmg -format UDSP -o /tmp/Yosemite # Increase the sparse bundle capacity to accommodate the packageshdiutil resize -size 8g /tmp/Yosemite.sparseimage # Mount the sparse bundle for package additionhdiutil attach /tmp/Yosemite.sparseimage -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_build # Remove Package link and replace with actual filesrm /Volumes/install_build/System/Installation/Packagescp -rp /Volumes/install_app/Packages /Volumes/install_build/System/Installation/ Step 3: Extract missing BaseSystem files for future ISO files …you'll need to open theInstallESD.dmg file from your Yosemite Install app. Head to Applications Find the Install OS X Yosemite app Right-click on it and Show Package Contents Navigate to Contents -> SharedSupport and open InstallESD.dmg Wait for it to finish Verifying... and mount When it mounts, you'll see a new window with a Packages folder Now, don't do anything with this Packages folder just yet. First, we need to unhide the files located in this newly mounted OS X Install ESD image. To see the hidden files in the OS X Install ESD image, open up a Terminal and input the following two commands (hit Enter after each one). And don't worry, we'll be undoing this at the end of this guide. defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE killall Finder If successful, you will see three other files slightly grayed out in the mounted OS X Install ESD window. The one we need here is BaseSystem.dmg. Step 4: Copy the BackSystem.dmg file to /Volumes/install_build/ I ended up copying with the .dmg and the .chunklist but article says you only need the .dmg. Easiest way for me I created a folder on the desktop called "tmp" then I copied both files from OS X Install ESD into this "tmp" folder on my desktop. Then I was able to run the cp (copy) command in terminal. When you open Terminal it drops you into your user folder. You can switch to your "tmp" folder on your desktop like this cd ~/Desktop/tmp Once you are in the folder those files are located then copy them to the future ISO files location cp BaseSystem.dmg /Volumes/install_build/cp BaseSystem.chunklist /Volumes/install_build/ Note: Without this step you end up getting the Undeified Error 0 in Step 7 Step 5: Build the ISO file This will put an iso file on your desktop called Yosemite.iso # Unmount the installer imagehdiutil detach /Volumes/install_app # Unmount the sparse bundlehdiutil detach /Volumes/install_build # Resize the partition in the sparse bundle to remove any free spacehdiutil resize -size `hdiutil resize -limits /tmp/Yosemite.sparseimage | tail -n 1 | awk '{ print $1 }'`b /tmp/Yosemite.sparseimage # Convert the sparse bundle to ISO/CD masterhdiutil convert /tmp/Yosemite.sparseimage -format UDTO -o /tmp/Yosemite # Remove the sparse bundlerm /tmp/Yosemite.sparseimage # Rename the ISO and move it to the desktopmv /tmp/Yosemite.cdr ~/Desktop/Yosemite.iso Now copy this 6GB file over to your Windows Machine. I used a 16GB USB which was formatted in ExFat You can now re-hide the hidden files running the same command but with FALSE defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE killall Finder STEP 6. Setup VirtualBox Create your new VirtualBox VM according to the following: Edit: I ended up using 8GB of ram.- Create a VM disk with > 40 GiB - Under General > Basic:Version, use "Mac OS X (64bit)" - Under System > Motherboard : Base Memory, select 6 GiB VM RAM : Chipset, use PCIIX : Extended Features, select all to use EFI, ACPI, and UTC - Under System > Processor, select only 1 CPU - Under System > Acceleration: Hardware Virtualization, select all. - Under Display > Video:Video Memory, use 128 MB, and do not select any Extended Features (2D/3D) - Under Storage > Storage Tree, select the "Empty" (CD icon) and go to: "CD/DVD Drive" selector and click on the right-most CD icon for a drop-down menu. On that menu, browse to and select your *.iso image you downloaded above. Also select the "Live CD/DVD" option. - Save and close VirtualBox. Next you need to tune VB to impersonate some recent Apple HW.First re-start VirtualBox. Once started, run an administrative command shell and run these. Note that the first command takes a minute. Note: Make sure you run the command from where Virtual Box is installed. By default that is in C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\ Run each lineVBoxManage.exe modifyvm "YourVMname" --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 04100800 7fbae3ff bfebfbff VBoxManage setextradata "YourVMname" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "MacBookPro11,3" VBoxManage setextradata "YourVMname" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0" VBoxManage setextradata "YourVMname" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "ILoveApple" VBoxManage setextradata "YourVMname" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" VBoxManage setextradata "YourVMname" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1 Close and reopen VirtaulBox for the changes to take effect. Be very patient, and after some error messages your OSX should bootup to start the setup process. Step 7. The Setup Process Formatting the (new) VM disk/partitionOnce the boot process starts loading, you'll have to select language and then choose the boot disk to install on. But only the mounted CD-ROM (DMG) image is available so you'll have to go into Disk Utility and format the VM disk partition and give it a name. The name can be whatever you want it to be Now you can exit DIsk Utility and continue installing by selecting your new disk...Once installation is finished, the system will reboot and you will be asked a few setup questions (this took awhile). Also keep in mind if the VirtualBox is not the focused application you might not see the screen change when it's done do to video drivers. After that the Feedback Assistant will ask you signup. Force close it. Edit: I never got this screen Be sure at this point to remove the .iso file from the CD Storage Device in VirtualBox else if you reboot you'll end up going back into setup. Step 7: Multibeast Multibeast is a collection of kext files that you'll need to install for your Hackintoshes to have sound, internet, a high resolution screen, and more. Different Hackintosh builds require different Multibeast setups, though most setups are very similar. Whether you're installing Mac OS X on your computer for the first time, or just updating your computer from an older version of OS X, you'll probably have to run Multibeast after the initial installation of Yosemite. Find out what Multibeast options you need to install. Edit: Now from here I'm not sure. My version runs but it's kind of slow and I can't change the resolution because I need to track down the right drivers and use Multibest or manually install them. You may have difference outcomes. To run Multibeast in OS X Yosemite, you may have to go the "Security" section of System Preferences in Mac OS X, go to the "General" section, and check "Anywhere" in the "Allow applications" section. After running Multibeast, you'll also probably want to change your BIOS settings back to normal (from Step 4). Well anyway, at this point you should be done!

AngularJS Directives 2 10. August 2014 Fred Mastro AngularJS Comments (0) A few weeks ago I talked about a book, "Mastering AngularJS Directives". A great book for directives but there aren't that many that focus mainly on Angular Directives. I've recently been reading through a new book, AngularJS Directives. I have to admit that I like this book even more. One main thing it has that's nice, is a better way to visually represent directive scopes which works well. Also, it goes into much detail on compile vs link. The other book does as well but in a different manner. It's worth a look at.
AngularJs Select Element, set Label and Value 6. August 2014 Fred Mastro AngularJs Comments (0) To set your select's label and value expressions in AngularJs, you can simply do this example. States and Countries States have Code: FL Name: Florida Countries have Code: US Name: United States State: <select data-ng-options="state.name for state in vm.stateProvinces track by state.code"></select> Country: <select data-ng-options="country.name for country in vm.countries track by country.code"></select>
AngularJs Directives 17. July 2014 Fred Mastro AngularJs Comments (0) I haven't posted much in regards to AngularJS since most of what I would say is already out there to read by someone else. AngularJs is a great technology for the web and if you like the use of includes and templates in your html, you'll love it. One thing I want to point out though is if you're not using Angular Directives, then you're not building your web app properly. Sure it might work, sure you can do things many different ways and not use directives at all but the biggest power in Angular is using Angular Directives. The ability to create your own html elements which act as custom components. The tricky part with angular directives is that they are easy to copy and paste from other sources to use and somewhat "easy" to create some really basic ones. However, it takes time, skill and an understanding of the under lying core and events to really master directives and create your own proper directives that account for performance and calling things in the right order. There's a balance between KISS and DRY. On one hand you can get something working quickly with KISS. However if you do plan to repeat yourself elsewhere and want to keep your code DRY then it's not so simple and a little more complex. One great book I recommend and reading through twice is Josh Kurz's Mastering AngularJS Directives. Where other books just basically repeat what's in the angular documentation with some better examples, this book goes beyond basic AngularJs and really gets into TDD and Angular Directives. Great book for anyone wanting to get to the next level. Remember, have an Angular App with no directives at all? Then you need to go back to the drawing board.

SQL 2012 – Remote Connection Changes 18. April 2014 Fred Mastro SQL2012 Comments (0) The release of SQL 2012 default to dynamic ports for remote access. You need to open port 1434 for the SQL Browser if you want clients to access it remotely. More info: http://jeffreypalermo.com/blog/how-to-configure-sql-server-2012-for-remote-network-connections/ excerpt: This TechNet article explains that to connect, the client will send a UDP packet to port 1434 first to resolve the dynamic port. Then it will connect as normal. The appropriate Windows Firewall rule to establish is a program rule, not a port rule.
Understanding Visual Studio 2013 and Git Source Control 2. April 2014 Fred Mastro Team Foundation Server , Visual Studio , Git Comments (0) Previous TFS Mindset If you are used to using TFS (Team Foundation Server), switching over to Git on Visual Studio 2013 is a different thought process. We're used to thinking with TFS, local files and then I "check-in" "check-out" back and forth on the server. The nice thing about this was that you knew your files were backed up on the server. The downside to this is that in a team environment you're checking in code that might break the build and cause someone else to have problems when they get the latest for various reasons. You forgot to check in a class or your code wasn't ready and there isn't gated check in process. Either way this is the mental image when you think of VS2013 and TFS. With Git, using your own Git Server or GitHub etc and trying to think of Git as you think of TFS starts to cause confusion around the new Team Source view for handling projects. I'll attempt to simply the understanding and how it works. End Result When using VS and Git. New Mindset. Untimely this is the end result from "Adding" or "New" or "Cloning" a project. From Visual Studio you Check-In/Out from a local Git repository. This is great in that you can check in code without affecting others. You'll need to backup your local files though. Then after you get to a point you deem worthy, you "Sync" the changes to the Git server. Goal: Create a local Git Repo. There are three ways to start a new Git Repo. Create a "New" Local GitRepo You create a local project in Visual Studio 2013. You can then add it to a "New" git repo. You'll now have a new .git folder in your Project Folder Note: if this folder is in a Dropbox folder you'll get an error "An error was raised by libgit2. Category = Os (Error). Failed to lockfile to '…':Access is denied". . Simple click on "Add" and put in the path to the new Git Repo location. You'll now see your local repo in the Git Repo list. Or "Add" an Existing Local Git Repo You already have a local Git Repo you want to use you then click on "Add" and find the existing local Git Repo. All previous Git Settings with this Repo are intact so when you Sync it will sync to wherever it synced before or prompted you to specify. Or "Clone" an Online Git Repo to a new Local Git Repo You want to pull down files from an existing online project you can then "Clone" the repo from the Git server to new local repository and then open the project in VS. Now you can Sync to an online Git Server Now double click one of the repos to open up that project. Click on Unsynced Commits Depending on if the project is New or has already been synced or is a new Cloned project you'll see one of two screens. This is the screen you'll see if the project is newly created. Add in the URL to the online GitRepo you want to perform the initial push too and Publish. This is the screen you'll see if the project was an existing GitRepo Add or a Clone from an online Git Server. Clicking "Sync" will then sync your local files with the server files.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate was poised to confirm John Ashcroft to be President Bush's attorney general, ending the most vitriolic Cabinet struggle since the nomination of another former senator, John Tower, was rebuffed in 1989.
Divided largely along party lines, senators engaged in the final hours of debate on the most controversial of President Bush's picks for his Cabinet, and the Senate was expected to approve him later today. The selection of Ashcroft, a former Republican senator from Missouri, has pitted liberals against conservatives inside and outside the Senate.
"Moderation is not a word which enters into his political thinking," said Sen. Paul Sarbanes, D-Md., who joined the long list of Democrats opposing Ashcroft. "In my view, he's had a consistent record of being at the extreme, Of taking positions well outside the mainstream."
Senate Majority Whip Don Nickles, R-Okla., said he was "bothered by the intensity of opposition" to Ashcroft.
"I have absolute, total, complete confidence that he is going to be one outstanding attorney general of the United States," Nickles said. "He's as qualified as anybody probably has ever been to be attorney general."
Ashcroft's confirmation would fill the Cabinet within 12 days of Bush's taking office. By contrast, it took President Clinton more than a month longer, until March 11, 1993, to confirm his final Cabinet member, Janet Reno, as attorney general.
Despite the near-certainty of Ashcroft's confirmation, Democrats labored to muster enough "no" votes to show Bush that Democrats could put up strong opposition to any potential Supreme Court nominee who, like Ashcroft, shared his conservative views on abortion and states' rights.
The strongest statement would be 41 of the 50 Democrats, Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said Wednesday, because that number would sustain a filibuster, a delaying tactic that can kill nominations but which Democrats declined to use in Ashcroft's case. However, Daschle acknowledged, "Frankly, we are not there yet."
Frustrating the task were a half-dozen Democrats who endorsed Ashcroft's nomination, including Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd, who declared his intention in a less-than-glowing terms late Wednesday.
While there is evidence Ashcroft "can be a healer," Dodd said, "I remain concerned that he will, as he appears to have done at times in the past, submit to the temptation to divide Americans along racial lines."
Still, Dodd and others said Ashcroft deserved the benefit of the doubt in the debate over whether he would keep his promise to enforce the law or, because of a conservative ideology deeply rooted in his religious faith, undermine laws with which he disagreed.
"I take him at his word," said West Virginia Democratic Sen. Robert C. Byrd. "I have no cause to doubt Senator Ashcroft's word or his sincerity regarding his fealty to an oath he will swear before God Almighty."
Twenty-six Democrats have announced their firm opposition to Ashcroft, including four Wednesday: Sens. Bob Graham and Bill Nelson of Florida, Barbara Mikulski of Maryland and Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico.
Still uncommitted was the woman who succeeded Ashcroft in the Senate, Missouri's Jean Carnahan. Her husband, the late Gov. Mel Carnahan, defeated Ashcroft posthumously after dying in a plane crash during their bitterly fought campaign.
Ashcroft's chief defender, Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch of Utah, repeatedly asked senators to give their former colleague the benefit of the doubt.
"You have worked with him and know him to be a man of his word," Hatch said.
"He is not the man unfairly painted as an extremist by the left-wing activists who have reportedly threatened senators in their re-election bids if they vote for his confirmation," Hatch said.
Criticism focused on Ashcroft's battles against abortion and against a school desegregation lawsuit while serving as Missouri governor and attorney general.
"It's his past willingness to bend and torture the law," said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. "It is not simply what he said, but what he did when he had executive power."
Mikulski said, "I respect his passion, but I don't know how you can believe something so passionately one day, and (then) say you're going to put it on the shelf."
Ashcroft's critics accused him of distorting the records of Clinton administration nominees James Hormel, the first openly gay U.S. ambassador, and Ronnie White, a black Missouri Supreme Court judge whose chances at a federal judgeship were scuttled by Ashcroft.
Ashcroft testified at his confirmation hearing two weeks ago that he opposed Hormel because he knew the nominee and because of the "totality of the record." He said he opposed White because the judge had a history of hostility to the death penalty.
But his critics said Ashcroft in 1998 cited homosexuality in objecting to Hormel, and they accused Ashcroft of using White to create a campaign issue.
Outside the Senate, meanwhile, conservative leaders delivered 14 boxes containing 262,000 petitions signed by Ashcroft supporters.

Find a removal firm
Mike Hacking from removal company Movers Not Shakers offers these helpful hints on how to find the best removal firm
Word of mouth is always a good way of finding a reliable removal firm. Make sure you pick one that knows your area well – you don't want them getting lost or not knowing where to park. Mike Hacking from removals company Movers Not Shakers offers these helpful hints: 'A lot of removals companies will charge an hourly rate. The more organised you are, the quicker the move. This is really crucial to the length of time the move will take. Have everything packed up; loose items add time and also hinder safe delivery.
'Make sure that furniture which is too large to fit through the doors, down the stairs etc is disassembled (most good companies will do this for you and reassemble it at the destination). Be clear where you want the furniture to be placed in your new home. All crockery, glasses etc should be individually wrapped in tissue paper (newspaper is okay but can leave ink smudges). All paintings, vases and large fragile items should be wrapped in bubble-wrap.
'Boxes should be separated into two categories, one for heavier items (books, crockery etc) should not be bigger than about 18"x18"x18".
Boxes of clothes and linen (ie lighter things) should not be too big for one man to carry. All boxes should be clearly labelled with a description of what is in them and which room in the destination address you want them placed.
'Ideally, all TV and audio equipment should be bubble-wrapped. Make sure that you have the associated cables and remote controls boxed safely.'

There ya go, glad to know I wasn't making it up. I'm stil trying to imagine fighting a 100lb cat with a chainsaw...not something I would look forward to.
I have a friend who swears that he punched some kind of big wild cat (bigger than german shepherd but shorter) in the face after coming eye-to-eye through the window of his tent while investigating suspected racoon mischief. He says this happened in some state park in Arkansas when he was about 18 and was followed by much colorful language, a backflip of the entire tent, girlish screams, and sleeping in the car. He reported that the cat must've split when the tent went flipping. This guy is generally very trustworthy, but i still have trouble with that one. Dude is a large person & would instinctively attack if scared, i know. I don't know much about big cats myself, but my pet cats make me very leary of a larger version roaming free. I don't know if there is a population of cougars or panthers or mountain lions in Arkansas.

National Organizations Launch Open Letter for U.S. Investigation of Israel's Injuring & Killing of Americans
Earlier this week, Cindy and Craig Corrie accepted the prestigious 2012 LennonOno Grant for Peace on behalf of their daughter, Rachel, who was killed by the Israeli military with a Caterpillar D9 bulldozer as she nonviolently attempted to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home in the Gaza Strip in March 2003.
In accepting the award, Cindy stated that Rachel's "hope would be that it could somehow contribute to bringing people together to work passionately for justice, and to do so with the utmost respect for the rights and lives of all human beings."
However, nearly ten years after Rachel's killing, her family still has not received justice. In August 2012, a civil case against the Israeli military filed by the Corrie family concluded with the presiding judge not only absolving the State of Israel of any liability, but also blaming Rachel for her own death. This is unacceptable.
Last month, together with our friends at the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, a petition to the State Department was launched calling on "the U.S. government to conduct thorough, credible, and transparent investigations into the death of Rachel Corrie and into each case involving the death or serious injury of an American citizen by the Israeli military since 2001."
Already, we've collected more than 9,000 signatures.
You can also tweet the petition and share it on your Facebook page.
We plan on delivering these petition signatures to the State Department later this month. Be sure that we include your signature by signing today!
In an effort to bolster this effort, ADC has joined the US Campaign, CCR, and others, in launching a similar organizational sign-on letter.
You can read the full-text of the letter here. If you are authorized to endorse the letter on behalf of an organization, then we invite you to do so.
A U.S. investigation into Israel's killing of Rachel Corrie, along with Israel's injuring and killing of other Americans, would be the first step toward accountability and justice for these U.S. human rights defenders.
Help ADC and the coalition make this possible by taking action today.

Angelina Is "Maleficent" on the Cover of EW
bad girlEvil never looked so good.
This is the evil (and stunning) face of Disney's reinvention of "Sleeping Beauty."
Source: Tumblr/tiptoecat
Directed by Robert Stromberg and starring Angelina Jolie, Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, and Sam Riley, Disney's live action remake of the 1959 animated film "Sleeping Beauty" flips the narrative by telling the classic tale from the point of view of the villain, Maleficent.
Source: Tumblr/sweetmickeymerch
The movie, in theaters May 30, details the backstory of Disney's iconic villain and reveals the actions that ultimately turn her pure heart to stone. Driven by revenge, Maleficent eventually places a curse upon the king's daughter Aurora, who is torn between the forest and the human kingdoms—both of which hold her love and legacy. "It is really funny when people say you'd be obvious for a great villain," Angelina told EW during her first in-depth interview about the classic role.

If you are watching the Monday night game, you are might be reminded how protection breakdowns affect kicks...then again none of you have believed there were protection breakdowns for Gostkowski...my mistake.
THAT has been one of the most surprising things about the board last night/today. I can't believe all the blame going on Gost. Didn't anybody friggin' WATCH the play? Denver overloaded the left side (defensive left) and there was NOBODY to block Foxworth. Cripes it doesn't matter if his foot slipped or not, there was a dude in his face before he even connected.
People that are blaming it on Ghost are idiots. Even if there was no protection breakdown I still won't blame him on any blocked/missed kicks. Here's a rookie coming in to replace a legend, it takes more than 3 games. I am DAMN GRATEFUL the kid hasn't caved in to the impossible expectation and self destructed!

The former Supreme Court Judge V.R. Krishna Iyer has urged the State government to formulate a water policy and a master plan for conserving water sources in the State.
Inaugurating a meeting of the Kochi-based Jalasamrakshana Samithi on Tuesday, the jurist said such a policy should be implemented with the full participation of the people. The right to life guaranteed under the Constitution encompasses the right to drinking water as well. In fact, one could not live without water.
He said the 44 rivers in the State were contaminated. It has become impossible to get drinking water now. Even rural areas experience drinking water scarcity. But the State government has not taken any steps to address the problem.
'Conserve sources'
Mr. Krishna Iyer said efforts should be made to conserve water sources. Rainwater harvesting should be undertaken for replenishing groundwater. There is need to create awareness of preserving water sources.
Presiding over the meeting, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State general secretary A.N. Radhakrishnan said there were around 350 ponds and wells in Ernakulam district. Most of them are contaminated. The district administration does not have the required resources to clean up these water bodies.
'Clean temple ponds'
He said the Devaswom Department could take up works for cleaning up ponds on temple premises.
Local bodies also could chalk out plans to conserve and clean up contaminated water sources under their jurisdiction.
Environmental activist C.M. Joy, BJP Ernakulam district president P.J. Thomas, and B. Prakash Babu and C.K. Nazir of the samithi, spoke.
Keywords: V.R. Krishna Iyer, water policy

Texas Instruments Cuts 1,100 Jobs Despite Revenue Beat
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Texas Instruments (TXN - Get Report) beat Wall Street's revenue forecast in its fourth-quarter results, released after market close, but also announced 1,100 global job cuts.
The chipmaker reported sales of $3.03 billion, just above analysts' forecast of $2.99 billion. Texas Instruments earned 46 cents a share, in line with Wall Street's estimates. The company's numbers, however, include a restructuring charge of $49 million, which reduced earnings by 3 cents a share.
The company's free cash flow for the full year of 2013 was $3 billion, or 24% of revenue. Texas Instruments had set a target of 20% to 25% for free cash flow.
Texas Instruments had $3.8 billion in cash and short-term investments at the end of 2013.
"Our fourth quarter capped a year in which each quarter's performance increasingly reflected the impact of structural changes we've made to focus TI on Analog and Embedded Processing, where the diversity and longevity of our positions are assets," said Rich Templeton, the Texas Instruments CEO, in a statement. For the first-quarter, Texas Instruments expects revenue to be between $2.83 billion and $3.07 billion, with earnings coming in between 36 cents and 44 cents a share, including charges. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect sales of $2.95 billion and earnings of 44 cents a share. The company's fourth-quarter numbers and first-quarter outlook include restructuring charges related to its Embedded Processing business and its operations in Japan. Although the company is not exiting any markets or discontinuing any products, it will reduce investments in "markets that do not offer sustainable growth and returns," according to its statement. The savings, it added "will reflect the elimination of about 1,100 jobs worldwide".Texas Instruments shares dipped 0.27% to $43.73 in extended trading. --Written by James Rogers in New York.
