Just when you and your baby have gotten into the swing of life together -- yikes! -- it's time to go back to work. For some moms, the thought of continuing to breastfeed while working seems daunting. And we're not going to lie to you: It's a bit of a challenge at first. But so was motherhood in general, and you pulled that off pretty well, right? Once you get into the routine, breastfeeding and working will get easier. Your baby will continue to get all that top-notch nutrition and enhanced immunity, while you'll be promoting your own long-term health, including possibly lowering your risk of breast cancer and osteoporosis. Plus, when the workday is over, you and your baby can still cuddle up together and enjoy all the convenience and closeness of breastfeeding. Here's how to make it happen:
Psych yourself up Realize that adjusting to the new demands of working and pumping breast milk will be about all you can handle at first. Don't take on extra projects during this time -- remodeling, volunteering, and fancy cooking can wait. Make taking care of yourself a priority. You need to eat well, get enough sleep, and have time to relax if it's going to work.
Lay the groundwork Introduce your baby to a bottle two to three weeks before you go back to work so he has time to get used to it. Several companies now offer nipples designed with a wide base to mimic the shape of a breast; experiment to find one your baby prefers. It also helps to have someone else -- Dad or your mom, for instance -- offer the first few bottle-feedings so your baby will accept it more easily.

deer at waterfall - need your Help
BettyGemJanuary 28, 2005
My friends husband is dying of cancer and has requested that a song about a deer at a waterfall be sung at his funeral. She would like to make a needlepoint - embrodery of ??? picture of a deer at a waterfall to have at the funeral when the song is being sung. Does anyone know of a pattern or material with a deer at the water fall that she could find
Hi BettyGem,
Hi BettyGem,
I have two sites for you to look at and the reason for this is you may have to get the deer and water fall at different locations. The deer is located at emblibrary.com
where you would click on "creatures of land". Then bo to bfc-creations.com click on Oriental Designs" and you will find the waterfall and other backgrounds to use.
Hope this helped.

The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 - What really happened
in History
In November 1605, the infamous Gunpowder Plot took place in which some Catholics, most famously Guy Fawkes, plotted to blow up James I, the first of the Stuart kings of England. The story is remembered each November 5th when 'Guys' are burned in a celebration known as "Bonfire Night". The story appears to be very simple. Catholics in England had expected James to be more tolerant of them. In fact, he had proved to be the opposite and had ordered all Catholic priests to leave England. This so angered some Catholics that they decided to kill James and put his daughter Elizabeth on the throne ensuring that she was a Catholic. This led to a plot to kill not only the king of England, James, but also everyone sitting in the Houses of Parliament at the same time as James was there when he opened Parliament on November 5th, 1605.Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators, having rented out a house right by the Houses of Parliament, managed to get 36 barrels of gunpowder into a cellar of the House of Lords. The other conspirators were: Robert and Thomas Wintour, Thomas Percy, Christopher and John Wright, Francis Tresham, Everard Digby, Ambrose Rookwood, Thomas Bates, Robert Keyes, Hugh Owen, John Grant and the man who is said to have organised the whole plotRobert Catesby. NOW LETS TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED - with guest John Hamer

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is celebrating a Big Win today after the attempts of the Obama administration to make him lose the election. Regardless of the millions of US Tax payer dollars that were given to the opposite Israeli party in an attempt to overthrow Bibi...God said otherwise and allowed him to win. What's next for Israel and what will the Obama administration do now since Prime Minister Bengamin Netanyahu has vowed to not give in to US demands or a 2-state solution?

Henry Garnet
in Religion
Rebroadcast of the long running radio program, "The Ave Maria Hour", a presentation of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement. www.AtonementFriars.org
Henry Garnet -- English Jesuit priest executed for his complicity in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Born in Heanor, Derbyshire, he was educated in Nottingham and later at Winchester College, before he moved to London in 1571, to work for a publisher. There he professed an interest in legal studies, and in 1575 he travelled to the continent and joined the Society of Jesus. He was ordained in Rome some time around 1582.
In 1586 Garnet returned to England as part of the Jesuit mission, soon succeeding Father William Weston as Jesuit superior, following the latter's capture by the English authorities. Garnet established a secret press, which lasted until late 1588, and in 1594 he interceded in the Wisbech Stirs, a dispute between secular and regular clergy.
In summer 1605 Garnet met with Robert Catesby, a religious zealot who, unknown to him, planned to kill the Protestant King James I. The existence of Catesby's Gunpowder Plot was revealed to him by Father Oswald Tesimond on 24 July 1605, but as the information was received under the seal of the confessional, he felt that Canon law prevented him from speaking out. Instead, without telling anyone of what Catesby planned, he wrote to his superiors in Rome, urging them to warn English Catholics against the use of force.
When the plot failed Garnet went into hiding, but he was eventually arrested on 27 January 1606. He was taken to London and interrogated by the Privy Council, whose members included John Popham, Edward Coke and Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury.

in Books
Suspense Radio One on One is pleased to be the tour stop for author Scott Smith to talk about his book "The Fourth Admendment".
When Kris Storm, the new manager of an elite cybersecurity team at Illuminate, a global internet powerhouse, receives an order to sift through web traffic to further the presidential ambitions of the mayor of New York, she stomps out the door in protest. But her staunch belief in the protection of an individual's right to privacy is tested when her boss abruptly shuts down the project a few weeks later. By then, a disturbing trail of terrorist activity, albeit circumstantial, has emerged: Brighton Beach, Russian jingoism, freedom fighters, liquid explosives, jihad, Boston Marathon. Now, Kris must decide whether to dig deeper, or stay constitutionally safe on the sidelines. Her hesitancy, however, costs valuable time. When Kris and her partner, street savvy FBI agent Jim Bright, finally identify the bombers and their target, Yankee Stadium, they must race to the Bronx. Will they arrive in time to prevent the carnage? Who is really behind the plot? Angry and now brimming with patriotic fervor, Kris plunges undercover as a hacker among the bright lights and party beaches of the Adriatic Sea to smoke out a global gang of cybercriminals.
From Edward Snowden's revelations about our own government's surveillance activities to the financial data breaches perpetrated by Russian hackers to the European Union's sanctions against Google, cybersecurity arouses passionate controversy worldwide. The Fourth Amendment combines a multidimensional view of the issues with a compelling cast of characters to create a rollicking, contemporary thriller.

A positron imaging system includes a pair of scintillation detectors for detecting a pair of gamma rays produced by annihilation of a positron within a distribution field, such as within a patient. An energy level determination circuit determines the energy levels of the detected gamma rays, and timing circuits determine whether the gamma rays have been detected by the scintillation detectors within a predetermined time interval. Only if the determined energy levels of each of the pair of gamma rays meet predetermined magnitude requirements and detection of the pair of gamma rays has occurred within the predetermined time interval, are signals corresponding to said gamma rays inputted to processing circuitry for calculating the spatial location of the positron. According to a further aspect of the invention, a circuit for separating piled-up gamma ray events includes a delay and a controllable attenuator for delaying and simultaneously attenuating a signal outputted by the detector, and a comparator for comparing the delayed signal with the attenuated signal, to thereby output separate electrical pulses representing the separate events.
1. A method for acquiring images from a radiation field, comprising the steps of:
detecting a pair of gamma rays produced by annihilation of a positron within said field;

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to nuclear medicine, and systems for obtaining nuclear medicine images of a patient's body organs of interest. In particular, the present invention relates to systems and methods for obtaining nuclear medicine images by detecting coincident events resulting from positron annihilation.
2. Description of the Background Art
Nuclear medicine is a unique medical specialty wherein radiation is used to acquire images which show the function and anatomy of organs, bones or tissues of the body. Radiopharmaceuticals are introduced into the body, either by injection or ingestion, and are attracted to specific organs, bones or tissues of interest. Such radiopharmaceuticals produce gamma photon emissions which emanate from the body and are captured by a scintillation crystal, with which the photons interact to produce flashes of light or �events.� Events are detected by an array of photodetectors, such as photomultiplier tubes, and their spatial locations or positions are calculated and stored. In this way, an image of the organ or tissue under study is created from detection of the distribution of the radioisotopes in the body.
One particular nuclear medicine imaging technique is known as Positron Emission Tomography, or PET. PET is used to produce a three-dimensional image for diagnosing the biochemistry or physiology in a specific organ, tumor or other metabolically active site.
In PET, events are detected from the decay or annihilation of a positron. As shown in
True events result when the two 511 KeV photons from a single positron annihilation travel directly to opposite detectors and are absorbed by the respective scintillation crystals. A second type of event occurs when one or both of the 511 KeV photons is deflected from its original trajectory, either in the patient or in the crystal. This is known as Compton interaction or scatter. Because of their high energy, the percentage of 511 KeV photons which interact with the scintillation crystal without scatter is relatively small. Most of the 511 KeV photons pass through the crystal without interaction, while over half of the 511 KeV photons that do interact with the crystal undergo Compton scatter. Consequently, simply increasing the sensitivity of the crystal will result in the detection of an increased number of invalid events. As such, it is desirable in coincidence detection imaging to improve the accuracy of acquired images, by increasing the number of true events detected.
It is known in the prior art to use Compton events in positron imaging, see U.S. Pat. No. 3,955,088 to Muehllehner et al. Compton events may be usefully added to the stored distribution because the location of the origin of the event in the object under study can be calculated from the point of interaction of the Compton event in the crystal.
However, in the prior art as exemplified by the '088 patent, a pair of events is passed on for processing by position computing circuitry if they occur within a specific time interval or timing window. This procedure results in non-productive use of the processing circuitry in computing the position of events later determined to be invalid.
Additionally, the prior art rejects a significant number of valid events because of the phenomenon known as �pile-up.� Pile-up occurs when two events occur so close together in time that their amplitudes are erroneously combined in the detector. Such �piled-up� events typically are rejected by prior art detectors because they are detected as a single event with an energy level that exceeds the predetermined maximum energy threshold. Thus, there remains a need in the art to improve upon the throughput speed and accuracy of acquired images in a positron coincidence imaging system.
The present invention solves the existing need by providing a circuit and method for detecting coincidence events in a nuclear imaging system by incorporating energy discrimination into the coincidence detector. By discriminating detected events on the basis of their energy levels in addition to timing requirements, only those events meeting both the timing and energy requirements are allowed to be passed to position processing electronics for further processing. In this way, time-consuming processing of events ultimately determined to be invalid or unusable is either eliminated or substantially reduced, resulting in increased throughput and accuracy of acquired images. Accuracy is further increased through the use of a modified constant fraction discriminator circuit to separate events which are piled up, such that each event may be detected and counted in the acquisition of an image.
The invention will become more clearly understood from the following detailed description in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
A positron decay 100 occurring in a region of interest in the object 10 results in the emission of two 511 KeV gamma rays 101 a and 101 b, which travel in opposite directions and are respectively absorbed in scintillation crystals 14 of detectors 12 a and 12 b. The interaction of the gamma rays with the crystal produces a flash of light which is detected by the photodetector array (not shown) and converted into an electrical pulse which is output from the detectors as a voltage signal. The output signals are respectively inputted to differential gain amplifier stages 16 a, 16 b. The output signal is amplified and inverted in the gain stage to provide proper signal levels for the shaping circuit 18 a, 18 b. The gain stages 16 a, 16 b typically provide a gain of +2. The shaping circuits 18 a, 18 b are used to shorten or �clip� the signals so that they are of proper length for further processing.
After shaping, the output signals are applied to gain stages 20 a, 20 b and 24 a, 24 b. Gain stages 20 a, 20 b provide a gain of +5, after which the signal is inputted to energy comparator circuit 22 a, 22 b. Gain stages 24 a, 24 b provide a gain of +10 for application of the signals to timing circuits 28 a, 28 b. Delay lines 26 a and 26 b are provided between gain stages 24 and timing circuits 28 to delay the output signals from entering the timing circuits until sufficient time has elapsed for the output signals to reach a predetermined percentage of their total energy level to be measured in the energy comparator circuits.
As shown in
As shown, the comparators 221 and 222 actually compare the energy level of the signal with the lower threshold value of the respective Compton and photopeak energy windows as shown in FIG. 3. In practice, the probability that an event rising above the Compton window lower threshold level but not above the lower photopeak window threshold level will fall within the Compton window is such that the upper Compton window threshold need not be tested for the purpose served by the invention. Similarly, the probability that an event which crosses the lower photopeak window threshold level will fall within the photopeak window is such that the upper photopeak window threshold need not be tested. However, it is possible to substitute single channel analyzers for each of the dual comparators to thereby determine whether energy levels fall precisely within each defined window. Because such single channel analyzers are well known in the art, their operation will not be further described.
A second embodiment of the energy comparator circuits and logic circuits is shown in FIG. 2B. In this embodiment, a third OR gate 308 is supplied with the outputs from the photopeak level comparators 221 a, 221 b of each detector. The output of OR gate 308 is inputted to a three-input AND gate 306 a, along with the outputs from OR gates 304 and 305. Thus, an output signal from AND gate 306 a will be produced only if at least one of the events in each detector is a photopeak event. This embodiment prevents a positron event from being counted in the acquired image if both photons are Compton scatter photons. In such case, there exists a significant probability that the photons were scattered within the patient's body, and thus the computation of the point of origin of the positron event would be less reliable than desired.
Timing circuits 28 a and 28 b provide start signals to timers 301, 302 in response to receipt of event signals. In response to the start signals, each timer produces an output signal for a predetermined period time (such as 10-15 nanoseconds). The output signals from the timers are inputted to AND gate 303. Thus, AND gate 303 will produce an output signal only if both events trigger their respective timers within the predetermined interval.
The outputs of AND gates 303 and 304 are provided to AND gate 307. If signals from AND gate 303 and AND gate 306 are present at the same time, AND gate 307 will output a signal which will be applied to the detector computing circuitry to allow the event signal to be passed into the computing circuitry for further processing.
The delayed output of the shaping circuit from delay line 26 a, b is also inputted to an attenuator 282. The attenuator also receives an input from a microcontroller 284 via D/a converter 283 which controls the amount of attenuation of the signal by a predetermined factor. The output of the attenuator at point D is also shown in FIG. 7. As shown, two distinct events are present, with the signal C crossing above the signal D twice. The output of the delay line 281 is applied to the non-inverting input of a comparator 285, and the output of the attenuator is applied to the inverting input of the comparator 285 such that the comparator will output two separate pulses at point E as shown in FIG. 8. The output pulses at E are independent of amplitude over a range similar to the output of a constant fraction discriminator. The attenuated signal is shifted by the signal from the microcontroller so as to allow multiple pulses to be generated by the comparator from piled up event pulses. The separation of the piled up events allows these events to be used in the acquisition of the image instead of being discarded as in the prior art. This allows a greater number of otherwise valid events to be used in the acquisition of the image, which improves the contrast quality of the resulting image.
The invention having been described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the same may be varied in many ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Any and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

Changes I made
Yesterday, I tried to fix my stay at a guest ranch in the Texas Hill Country. However, the ranch of my choice is closed for a week due to a family wedding. I have checked for alternatives, but I either do not like the ranch or it is way too expensive. Therefore, I will jump on a horse in New Mexico or Arizona. Naturewise I will like those states better anyways.
So, this forenoon I will hop in a bus to San Antonio. Jan 29th in the evening, I will fly to El Paso.
Dorm Experience
Oh my goodness! What a night! 8 girls in 1 room coming and going at any time of the night. Making loud noises, putting the light on, snorring crazy, clogging the toilet, jumping around in the upper bunk, very limited respect. Under these circumstances I had my difficulties catching sleep. Am I getting too old for a dorm?

Are these peonies suffering from a virus? (4 Pics)
I'm guessing that the peony in the first pic has a virus. What do you think? Does it need to be be removed and destroyed?
This summer I cheerfully cut blooms off this peony and moved right on to the next without disinfecting (I didn't know better). Are they all doomed?
The other pics so some of the other peony plants that I have with either twisted leaves or black-ish marks. Any advise much appreciated!
Most of these came from MIL's house before she had to move out, so I'm hoping they don't all need to be destroyed!
Looks like peony leaf blotch to me. If it is, next year may be an entirely different story, if the weather is different. I have peonies here and there and some years they have it and some years they don't. Chemical control is not called for.
Here is a link that might be useful: Peony leaf blotch

Before catching real waves, surfers must practice on the beach using a "pop-up" technique first pioneered by adventurous toaster strudels. Make surfing part of a complete breakfast with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $55 for a three-hour beginners' surfing lesson for one (a $99 value)
- $99 for a three-hour beginners' surfing lesson for two (a $198 value)
A one-day version of Adventure Out's regular two-day clinic, this three-hour lesson is offered in both Pacifica and Santa Cruz. CPR- and lifeguard-certified instructors tailor their clinics to complete surf novices or those with only limited experience, starting with an overview of ocean conditions and safety, wave etiquette, pushup and pop-up techniques, and finally, wave riding and balancing. Using provided gear, students start in shallow waters, venturing out further only if they're comfortable.
Adventure Out
When Cliff Hodges, the founder and CEO of Adventure Out, graduated from MIT with a degree in electrical engineering, he knew a traditional desk job wasn't for him. According to Technology Review, he quickly gave up his engineering career for the wireless world of the great outdoors, where he began to hike, climb, and surf his way around the world, always staying true to his philosophy of environmental respect and protection.
His travels and business accomplishments have gained some measure of notoriety; he's coached on MTV's Made, consulted for ABC News, and was selected as one of four winners of the 2011 Santa Cruz County Civic Service Award: The Nextie. Adventure Out was also identified for meeting survival skills training standards by The New York Times best-selling author Tim Ferriss in The 4-Hour Chef.
Today, he and his program consultant Tom McElroy lead excursions into the California wilderness to teach backpacking and survival skills, including the tracking of animals and wild ice-cream trucks, and they also guide novices through surfing, rock-climbing, and mountain-biking sojourns. Through fundraising, Adventure Out has helped save Castle Rock State Park from closure and a portion of their proceeds is put directly back into the park.

Johansson Eyes Brit Funnyman
Picture: Scarlett Johansson 'Poiret: King of Fashion' Costume Institute Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art - Arrivals New York City, USA - 07.05.07
Hollywood beauty Scarlett Johansson has developed a sudden urge to "get to know" young British TV actor Ralf Little.
The BAFTA-winning actress, 19, has spent a lot of time in England on the set of the forthcoming untitled Woody Allen film, and she's grown attracted to Little after seeing him on TV in the classic comedy ROYLE FAMILY and TWO PINTS OF LAGER AND A PACKET OF CRISPS.
Johansson gushes, "I have seen many pictures of him. I have to say I was quite taken with him and I was told he is very, very funny.
"But then I heard he began to train as a doctor and that was it. I knew I had to get to know him."09/11/2004 13:29

As Israel enters the sixth day of Operation Pillar of Defense, Hamas and other
terrorist organizations operating in the Gaza Strip continue their assaults on
civilian centers.Southern cities such as Beersheba, Ashdod and Ashkelon
(just to name the largest) have been bombarded constantly since the start of the
operation on Wednesday. Out of an apparent desire by Hamas and the Iran-aligned
Islamic Jihad and other Salafi and jihadi terrorists to escalate the conflict,
the scope of fire has expanded to the Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
areas.Gazans have fired more than 500 rockets and mortar shells at
Israeli communities since the start of the IDF offensive. Attempts by Egypt to
mediate a cease-fire that would bring about long-term quiet are under
way.At the same time, Israeli leaders are seriously considering
implementation of the next potential stage in the operation – a ground
invasion.Over the weekend, the cabinet authorized the call-up of up to
75,000 reservists for military service. Defense Ministry director-general Udi
Shani noted that there has been a nearly 100 percent positive
response.In pondering a ground operation, our leaders are no doubt
weighing the pros and cons. The five Iron Dome batteries deployed since the
beginning of the present round of escalation – which have so far shot down about
250 potentially deadly rockets at almost a 90 percent success rate – provide our
leaders with the precious breathing room to make a balanced, logical decision
regarding the efficacy of a ground invasion.The most obvious outcome of
a major ground incursion would be a spike in the number of noncombatant
casualties on the Palestinian side.In Operation Cast Lead, for instance,
1,166 Gazans were killed, 709 of them combatants, according to IDF figures. This
is about one civilian for every three combatants.In contrast, according
to a 2001 study by the International Committee of the Red Cross, there have been
on average 10 civilian deaths for every soldier killed in wars fought since the
mid-20th century.During the 1999 Kosovo War, NATO forces killed four
civilians for every Serbian soldier. Clearly, even the most moral armies make
mistakes, particularly in dense urban areas.Although the international
community has generally been supportive of Israel's right to defend itself, it
has in the past shown little understanding of its need to complete its mission.
The purpose of the current operation is to halt all rocket and mortar fire from
the Gaza Strip.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called this the
"Goldstone threat," after the so-called "fact-finding" mission appointed by the
UN Human Rights Council and headed by Richard Goldstone. In the event of a
ground invasion, we must, therefore, be prepared for a new wave of
delegitimization focused against Israel, no matter how unjustified and
unsubstantiated.Another factor to take into consideration is the effect
of a ground invasion on Israel's shaky relations with Egypt. On one hand,
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi – who is acutely conscious of how dependant his
country is on US financial aid – has a vested interest in distancing himself
from his Muslim Brotherhood comrades in Gaza. On the other, his party's
fundamentalist ideology and the Egyptian public's visceral hatred of the West –
and of Israel in particular – may collide with Egypt's national interests and
the policy established by his predecessor Hosni Mubarak, which Morsi has so far
been attempting to continue.Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza
might be purposely escalating the conflict with Israel to force Morsi – faced
with massive opposition at home to an Israeli ground invasion – to provide them
with military and financial support. In the final analysis, however, it is
imperative that the option of sending in ground forces remain "on the
table."That puts pressure on Egypt as well as on Hamas and other
terrorist groups to reach a cease-fire.An agreement that brings about a
complete halt to rockets and mortar shells from the Gaza Strip would, of course,
be a welcome development. But if the government and the military conclude that
sending in ground forces is the only way to strike a hard enough blow to Hamas
to restore Israel's deterrence, then this must be done.

Hello ! Most of the hellebores are just starting to bloom, so will be a month or so before I get any seeds on them. They bloom quite a while. If you remind me, I'll be happy to trade some then. I have the hellebores orientalis, green, pink, and darker shade of pink. They are easy for me as I just stick them in the ground where I want them and forget. Next year you will have little plants there. I'll be glad to trade, but mine and most people's won't be ready for another month. I always post when they are ready as they don't last long and need to be planted asap. Thanks, Melinda
I'm going to check mine today for seeds. They have already bloomed and I think there's some seed. They do need to be planted post haste and they can take up to 9 months to germinate so don't give up on them. I'll let you know if I find some seeds for you.

Yesterday morning I drove the scenic route to Morro Bay and reflected on life, death, and my time on sabbatical. In less than a week I'll be "back in the office" and will return to my role as the Minister-at-Large with Jews for Jesus. Has it really been three months since I met with David and told him I needed a break? Has it really been six months since Sean died? I still can't fully wrap my mind around it all… Maybe I never will.
My family got through our first Christmas without Sean. It was hard. It was painful. A year ago I thought we'd be celebrating Sean's remission during Christmas 2014, but instead I found myself grieving the infinite difference between our past hopes and our current reality. Death sucks.
I don't cry about Sean's death anymore, and I don't feel the overwhelming anxiety very often- the anxiety that takes my [Continue reading]

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?
c.1300, from fore + runner. Middle English rendition of Latin praecursor, in reference to John the Baptist as the forerunner of Christ. The Old English word was foreboda.
John the Baptist went before our Lord in this character (Mark 1:2, 3). Christ so called (Heb. 6:20) as entering before his people into the holy place as their head and guide.
