Once a Cesarean, Always a Cesarean?
- A woman's own experience
- The reason for the original C-section
- Her subsequent recovery
- Her overall health
- Her personal preference
- Her doctor's experience
Reducing the C-section Rate
Looking at VBAC
Examining the Reason for C-sections
- Fetal or maternal illness—This could make labor risky for mother and/or child.
- Fetal distress—This, too, can be controversial because fetal monitors can be misread and because normal readings are subjective.
- Labor that fails to progress—This means labor does not progress normally.
- Placenta previa —The placenta blocks the cervix and is at risk of detaching before the baby is born.
- Baby in breech position—When the baby's head will not come out first, it is safest to deliver the baby via cesarean section.
- Multiple pregnancy
- Cephalopelvic disproportion—This occurs when a baby's head is too large for the mother's pelvis. This is considered a controversial reason for C-section because the proportion is difficult to measure. Small pelvises do often accommodate large babies during labor.
- Infection in the mother
- Previous C-section
Getting the Experts' View
- Have had one or two previous cesarean with a low-transverse uterine incision—You cannot tell from the outside what type of incision you had in the uterus. You need to ask your surgeon. The low-transverse incision allows muscle tissue to knit a scar that is much stronger than the older types of incisions. However, it generally takes more time to do, so doctors are not always able to use this method in emergency situations. Women with a vertical incision should discuss whether a VBAC is appropriate, since data is mixed.
- Do not have any other uterine scars or ruptures, whether from previous cesareans or other surgeries

Sharks around Arroyo Seco - I live in Arroyo Seco and the local surfers say that sharks are, well, not a problem.
Don't snorkel in the freshwater lagoon behind the beach however. There are caimans (a type of crocodile).
By El rojo , 17-07-2007
Left side - Everyone surfs playa chica here but if you take a left at the end of town there is another beach that has more power. Once again, 2 second closeouts are the norm but there are also little tubes and bowls. These are probably the funnest 2 seconds closeouts you can surf and the shit is super powerful. Lots of life in the water especially rays--and you can see them all. Nobody out at this southern beach. Might want to bring a friend! Ill post some pics!
By Anonymous , 08-07-2006
- This is a pretty cool place but the previous messages are correct. its a closeout but there are some fun shoulders but I think alot of it depends on the swell angle as well. The day I surfed it there was a very very heavy right next to the rocks. You can see it in one of the pictures. My friend got tubed 3 times in a 2 hour session, but like everyone else said, definently a closeout. As for camping... no more my friends. Someone bought the land and it is all now private. They still allow beach access during the day but no overnight camping. A security guard came and made us leave after camping out for the night, AND we had a local mexican guy with us from punta mita. cool place though, and BEAUTIFUL AS HELL!

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Stochastic descriptions of multiscale interactions are more and more frequently found in numerical models of weather and climate. These descriptions are often made in terms of differential equations with random forcing components. In this article, we review the basic properties of stochastic differential equations driven by classical Gaussian white noise and compare with systems described by stable Lévy processes. We also discuss aspects of numerically generating these processes.

Ernakulam (also Kochi, Cochin) is a district of Kerala, India situated in the central part of that state. Spanning an area of about 3,068 km2, Ernakulam district is home to over 12% of Kerala's population. Its headquarters is located at Kakkanad, a suburb of Kochi city. Ernakulam is known as the commercial capital of Kerala. The district is famous for its ancient temples, churches, and mosques. The district includes the largest metropolitan region of the state, Greater Cochin. Ernakulam district is the highest revenue yielding district[2] in the state. It is the third most populous district in Kerala, after Malappuram and Thiruvananthapuram (out of 14).[1] Ernakulam district also hosts the highest number of international and domestic tourists in Kerala state.
The language spoken in Ernakulam is Malayalam which is the mother-tongue of Kerala. English is widely used, especially in business circles. Ernakulam became India's first 'fully literate district' in 1990 and the country's first district having 100 percent banking or full 'meaningful financial inclusion' in 2012.[3][4]
The name Ernakulam is derived from Erayanarkulam which means the abode of Lord Shiva.[5] Ernakulam was also known as "Rishinagakulam" in ancient days.
From ancient times Ernakulam district has played a part in the political history of south India. The Jews, Syrians, Arabs, Chinese, Dutch, British and Portuguese seafarers followed the sea route to Kingdom of Cochin and left their impressions in the town. In 1896, the Maharaja of Cochin initiated local administration by forming a town council in Ernakulam. Initially Ernakulam district's headquarters was at Ernakulam, which gave the district its name; the headquarters was later shifted to Kakkanad.
According to the 2011 census Ernakulam district has a population of 3,282,388,[1] roughly equal to the nation of Mauritania[6] or the US state of Iowa.[7] This gives it a ranking of 104th in India (out of a total of 640).[1] The district has a population density of 1,069 inhabitants per square kilometre (2,770/sq mi) .[1] Its population growth rate over the decade 2001–2011 was 5.6%.[1] Ernakulam has a sex ratio of 1028 females for every 1000 males,[1] and a literacy rate of 95.68%.[1]
This district is listed as the "most advanced" district in Kerala. It had a resident population of 3,105,798 as of 2001, excluding the huge commuter traffic from neighbouring districts. It is urbanised 68.07%.[8] Hindus (46.53) accounts for the largest community followed by Christians (38.78 including Syrians and Latins) and Muslims (14.55). A small population of Jains, Jews and Sikhs are also residing in Kochi.[9] Also, Ernakulam district has the highest number of Christian population in India.
The most important religious communities of the district are Ezhavas with 7,56,475 members, Nairs with 3,56,321 members Jacobites with 6,03,546 members Syrian Catholics with 4,14,878 members Latin Christians with 1,37,458 and Muslims with 4,56,275 members. In addition to the major communities the Buddhists, the Jains, the Sikhs, and the Jews also form part of the cosmopolitan population. The ancestors of the Jews migrated from Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Now there are very few Jewish families in Cochin as most of them were converted to Syrian Christians (Nasranis), and the rest returned to Israel in the 20th century.
Ernakulam district covers an area of 3068 km2 located on the Western Coastal Plains of India. It is surrounded by Thrissur District to the north, Idukki District and Tamil Nadu State to the east, Alappuzha and Kottayam districts to the south and Arabian sea to west. The district can be divided geographically into highland, midland and coastal area. The altitude of the highland is about 300 m. The Periyar River, Kerala's longest, flows through all the taluks except Muvattupuzha. The Muvattupuzha River and a branch of Chalakkudy River also flow through the district. The average yearly rainfall in the district is 3432 mm. The district has a moderate climate, and mostly falls within the Malabar Coast moist forests ecoregion, while the highlands are part of the South Western Ghats moist deciduous forests ecoregion. Many types of sands, soil and also rocks which are geological importance is abundant here. Cochin international air port is located in northern part of the district at Nedumbassery village in Angamaly. Owing to the international airport, water ways, railways, and road ways, Ernakulam is one of the most strategically connected district in the state.
The district is divided into three well-defined parts – lowland, midland and the highland consisting of seaboard, plains and the hills and forests respectively. 20 percent of the total area is low land region. The midland consists mainly of plain land and group of islands having natural facilities of drainage via backwaters and canals. The hilly or eastern portion is formed by a section of Western Ghats. Muvattupuzha and Kothamangalm taluks which were initially parts of Kottayam district can be called the highlands. Muvattupuzhayar Periyar are the main rivers of which the latter flows through Thodupuzha, Muvattupuzha, Aluva, Kunnathunadu and Parur taluks. During rainy season these rivers are full and heavy floods affect the low-lying areas on the banks, but in the summer season they generally go dry and narrow. The Periyar is stretched over a length of 229 km.

Official URL: http://jlms.oxfordjournals.org/content/59/2/681.full.pdf+html
The exact representation of symmetric polynomials on Banach spaces with symmetric basis and also on separable rearrangement-invariant function spaces over [0, 1] and [0, infinity) is given. As a consequence of this representation it is obtained that, among these spaces, l(2n), L-2n[0, 1], L-2n[0, infinity) and L-2n[0, infinity) boolean AND L-2n[0, infinity) where n, nl are both integers are the only spaces that admit separating polynomials.

The business of… Private air travel
Middle East execs are disregarding those nagging fears about corporate excess, and are choosing to travel abroad in style.
May 11, 2010 3:39 by kippreport
Luxury aside, there are other advantages of private travel. When executives must visit multiple cities within a short space of time, customized travel services can be essential. Imagine trying to put together an IPO in a dozen cities in under three days using commercial services.
Confidentiality is another benefit. When multiple stops and continuous air travel is a necessity, conducting business onboard is a must. An environment of discretion and confidence can be worth much more than the additional cost of private travel.
Traveling with specialty equipment is another reason that some executives choose the private jet. Ensuring the confidentiality and safety of expensive business equipment during travel can be a concern when using commercial carriers and airports.
For these practical reasons, analysts say that the private jet is not just for the super wealthy, but that increasingly, smaller and midsized businesses are counting the added expense as worth it.

"i want this" lol
I think the private jet industry has done well in the past six months.

As a fallback alternative to my earlier problem reading oscilloscope waveforms with StreamDevice (and to potentially reveal something about the original problem), I am trying to use asyn to read the waveform into a waveform record directly (without the aid of StreamDevice). If I use the waveform record with FTVL=UCHAR or FTVL=CHAR, and DTYP=asynOctetRead, I am able to acquire the scope binary-formatted data into the waveform record, and I seem to be able to get the performance that I require. However, this method gives me byte oriented data, and the 'scope is sending 16-bit signed data. So, I tried using the FTVL=SHORT, or FTVL=USHORT and DTYP set to any of the 'asynIntXXArrayWfIn' data types. This results in iocInit reporting :devAsynInt16Array::initCommon, TEST:SCOPE1:CURVE find asynInt16Array interface failedSome combinations of FTVL& DTYP fail with messages like:devAsynInt8Array::initCommon, TEST:SCOPE1:CURVE field type must be SIGNED_TYPE or UNSIGNED_TYPEMy application dbd file contains:device(waveform,INST_IO,asynWfOctetCmdResponse,"asynOctetCmdResponse") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynWfOctetWriteRead,"asynOctetWriteRead") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynWfOctetRead,"asynOctetRead") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynWfOctetWrite,"asynOctetWrite") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynInt8ArrayWfIn,"asynInt8ArrayIn") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynInt8ArrayWfOut,"asynInt8ArrayOut") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynInt16ArrayWfIn,"asynInt16ArrayIn") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynInt16ArrayWfOut,"asynInt16ArrayOut") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynInt32ArrayWfIn,"asynInt32ArrayIn") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynInt32ArrayWfOut,"asynInt32ArrayOut") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynFloat32ArrayWfIn,"asynFloat32ArrayIn") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynFloat32ArrayWfOut,"asynFloat32ArrayOut") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynFloat64ArrayWfIn,"asynFloat64ArrayIn") device(waveform,INST_IO,asynFloat64ArrayWfOut,"asynFloat64ArrayOut")As yet another possible fallback, is there a way to coerce the byte-oriented data that I acquire to be 16-bit word data, perhaps using a subarray record in some obscure way? I probably do need to use a subarray record anyway, as there is a 6-byte header on the waveform, which I need to drop. For the record, this is EPICS 3.14.11 and Asyn R4-13 on x86 Linux. Thanks.

text: Author has written 1 story for Monkey Island. Hello, first off I just want to say that I'm not a writer. I focus mainly on art, which you could find here if you're interested http://azularia.deviantart.com/. Still though, I do like literature and occasionally write. Most of what I write is fanfiction which you could also find at fanfiction.net under the same name. Um... there's not really much to say. I'm a recent University graduate with no intentions of going back to school... at least not any time soon... they were probably the best four years of my life yet being the worst at the same time. I majored in Spanish, but also took music (because of my father) and creative writing classes. While I was taking those classes, I used to write all the time, but it sort of waned a bit. Now I'm just trying to get back to that... so hopefully that's what happens in the times to come. Azularia!

New Delhi, May 4 Dr J. N. Banvarikar, Head of MCDs hospital administration, said nine of the 51 persons, who have contracted the brain fever, have died in various hospitals. The toll is nine till 9 a.m. today, said Dr Banvarikar. There have been no children among those who succumbed to the highly infectious disease, he added. At a meeting of officials of the Director General of Health Services and the MCD, it was decided
to vaccinate those medical staff attending to the meningococcemia patients. The doctors and the nurses form a high-risk group and we have issued instructions that all of them should be given preventive vaccines, said Dr Banvarikar. The relatives and others who come in contact with the meningitis patients will be given preventive medicine, he added. In the MCD hospitals, the medical staff will get the universal protective gear like masks and gloves. After the DGHS-MCD meeting, it was decided to keep 30 beds separately for meningitis patients in each MCD-run hospitals ten beds each for male, female and children, Dr Banvarikar said. The Chief Minister, Mrs Sheila Dikshit, chaired a high-level meeting yesterday, after the arrival of patients infected with the disease showed an upward trend in city hospitals. According to the Delhi Health Minister, Mr Yoganand Shastri, most of the meningitis cases have been reported in Azadpur and Nimri Colony in north-west Delhi. Meningitis patients have been admitted to Apollo Hospital, Lok Nayak Hospital, Hindu Rao Hospital, Kalavati Sharan Hospital and Guru Tegbahadur Hospital. The Delhi Medical Association (DMA) today opened a helpline for meningitis cases. The numbers are 9811090206 (DMA president Dr K. K. Aggarwal), 20050140 (Dr Girish Tyagi, honorary secretary), 9810118256 (Dr V. K. Monga) and 9312273922 (Dr Ajay Rohatgi). The large number of cases are a matter of concern, said Dr Aggarwal, but there is no reason why the situation will not be under control. |
Fly-by-night finance co dupes people of crores
Ghaziabad, May 4 The fly-by-night-operators have put padlocks on the premises on Tuesday. Surinder Kumar Thapar, a retired railway official and a resident of Mohalla Bhood Bharat Nagar in Vijay Nagar, in a written complaint to the Kotwali police station had brought forth the whole fraud. Besides, Anand
Mahchanda, one tent house owner, Deepak Kumar, Sudershan Sweets owner and many others had also lodged their complaints with the police. Kanishka Finance Co, the fraud finance company, had involved about a thousand clients in three different committees (chit funds). The finance company had promised to return their money doubled in four years. Additionally, there was an attraction of a lucky draw in between. Interestingly, when all the subscribers deposits had matured, the finance company officials had asked for some more time to pay them all. Then suddenly they flew by night locking the premises. Surinder Kumar Thapar said he had lost Rs 4 lakh, an optician has lost Rs 2 lakh, an attaché case dealer in Lajpat Nagar, Vijay Bagga and owner of Katara Mill, Delhi, had also lost equal amounts. The SO of Kotwali police station, C. P. Singh, said police are making inquiries about the ramification of the fraud and are also raiding different places to nab the tricksters.

dead. Kamarru Din, 21, a resident of Khora Colony, under Indirapuram police station was lodged in district jail since February 5, 2004 under the Gangster Act. He was arraigned in loot and theft cases, the police said. The jail official had taken Kamarru Din to district hospital at 7 pm yesterday. Dr Sanjay Shankar, at the emergency ward, had examined him and declared him brought dead. Nobody was able to say as to how the young criminal had died in the district prison. The police have, however, sent the body for autopsy and the report will possibly throw light on the mystery.
4 gangsters nabbed, weapons seized
New Delhi, May 4 The accused arrested have been identified as Mahesh
Verma, resident of Gandhi Nagar, Nafisul Huq, resident of Sitapur,
Mohammad Yusuf, resident of Mandawali and Aftab Alam, resident of
Shakarpur. Acting on a tip-off that a gang headed by Mahesh and Nafisul
would assemble near CNG petrol pump at National Highway-24 to commit
robbery, the police laid a trap and nabbed the suspects. During
interrogation, the accused persons told the police that they were
planning to commit robbery in a wine shop in Kalyanpuri area. They also
confessed that Mahesh Verma, who is the mastermind, committed a burglary
in 2003 in Krishna Nagar and later had differences with this associate,
Mange Ram Sharma, alias Sharmaji, who was also involved in several cases
of murder and robbery. After the altercation with Sharmaji, Mahesh and
his brother Raju strangulated him and disposed his body in Loni area. |
Polluting units in Noida under scanner
Noida, May 4 About 150 pollution producing units have been identified in Noida and Greater Noida. Some of these units have installed modern equipment for control of pollution as per boards norms. The pollution control board has, however, now decided to implement the pollution control measures in units or take strict action against such units. The board is, however, understood to have sent notices to three major offending units to take remedial steps. Within three months all polluting units will be able to install modern pollution control mechanism, says the Regional Officer of the Pollution Control Board, Mr R. K. Singh. It may be mentioned that Noida and Greater Noida have always been projected as the pollution free area where no polluting units are allowed. There are large numbers of polluting factories in Noida Phase I. A few polluting units functioning under the very nose of the Noida Authority opposite its office in Sector-6, including a paper mill in the vicinity. The air and noise being produced by these units in Sector 6 throws an open challenge to pollution control boards very existence. Besides, the atmosphere in Noida is considerably polluted by vehicles especially those run on diesel like tempos, tractors and private buses. But there is hardly any mechanism to punish or control them. Mr. R.K. Singh is sure that Noidaites will not be seeing clouds of dense and dark smoke in Noida atmosphere in three months time. Hopefully, the Noida sky will look much cleaner by August 2005, he adds. |
Maintenance of roads neglected due to paucity of fund
New Delhi, May 4 Sources said that the corporation had a provision of Rs 95 crore in the budget for repairing of the roads but due to lack of sufficient finances it could not be done. The money left over from the last years budget is being used for this purpose but that is not sufficient for the maintenance of all MCD roads. Hardly 30 per cent of the roads will be repaired with this money. An official of the Engineering Department said that if the roads were not repaired before the monsoon season, there would be flood like situation in the MCD areas. According to sources, the money was to be spent from the plan head. Due to the less than expected collection of property tax, which is a major source of the total revenue of the corporation, the MCD could not spend the money from the plan head for this purpose. The road repairing work was earlier undertaken by Divisional offices, but they were directed in April last year that no tender for the road repairing would be invited by the Divisional offices. It has now become centralised. In 2004-2005 tenders were invited for the purpose but work had not been started. The corporation has been left with a handsome amount of last years money, which is now being used but are still inadequate for the huge repairs required. The EngineerinChief, Mr R.K. Meena, however, recently issued a circular announcing that road repairing work was again being transferred to zonal offices following directions of the court. |
Stress on role of citizens in management of solid waste
New Delhi, May 4 Over 400 representatives from nearly 50 such associations participated in the workshop held recently. Mr S. K. Garg, MOH, NDMC, addressing the gathering on the occasion urged the members of the associations to come forward in the management of solid waste, which is a critical and unending problem. He said the role of every individual in this field is of prime importance. He further said that the NDMC intends to bring transparency in its work culture. He also appraised the gathering of the facilities being provided by civic body in its 14-sanitry circles for removal of garbage. The civic body has provided dustbins and also constructed garbage stations with segregation facility so that biodegradable and non-biodegradable garbage can be segregated at the initial stage itself. Besides facility of door-to-door garbage collection in 52 colonies, arrangements have been made for night sweeping in sensitive areas and crowded markets. To ensure proper monitoring and redressal of grievances, 14 Zonal officers have also been deputed in the circles. The Zonal officer of Jor Bagh area stressed upon the active cooperation of RWAs in the management of solid waste, and said that individuals can contribute to the making of this experiment a success. |
Role of consultants in beautification drive
New Delhi, May 4 A proposal, which was tabled before the Cabinet, was cleared for appointing consultants for land-scaping and street- scaping road stretches ranging from 1 to 5-km around eight prominent areas in the city. The consultants would be required to suggest ways for overall improvement in aesthetics, especially on aspects like streetlighting, street furniture, bus shelters and footpaths.

Cost of construction shoots up
New Delhi, May 4 The reason for the sharp hike is the increase in the price of building material like bricks, cement, steel, timber, sand and fitting and fixture items. Increase in labour wages, rise in the cost of fuel and shortage of raw material have also to some extent contributed to the increased cost of construction in the Capital where as it is land is sold at a premium. According to reports, among essential building items, the cost of steel has gone up by 56 per cent in the year 2004-05 as against the one prevailing in 2001-02. |

Delhi to get additional power from central agencies
Tribune News Service
New Delhi, May 4 Besides the allocation of 280 MW from the unallocated quota of Central Generating Stations during the peak period for the summer to Delhi by the Government of India, Delhi Transco Limited has also made arrangements for adequate availability of power to meet the summer demand, said PM Sayeed. The measures include maximization of generation from Delhis power plants, purchase of 100 MW from the Eastern region, 80 MW to 440 MW from Himachal Pradesh state Electricity Board and 50 per cent of 330 MW from the Himachal Governments share in Nathpa Jkukri Hydro Electric project on a bilateral basis, he said. MCD: The MCD has said it has received no complaints about any organisations giving maintenance rights of its community halls forcing people to buy their business services for using the facilities. Minister of State for Home S. Raghypathy told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply that the MCD had allotted certain community halls to Resident Welfare Associations/NGOs and third parties as part of a scheme that aims at ensuring their maintenance in user-friendly conditions. The MCD has reported that no complaint about people being compelled to avail of other services has been registered with them, said Raghypathy. |

By 2020, mental illness will be the greatest killer: Expert
New Delhi, May 4 Eminent professionals from this field were present during the inaugural function to discuss the ever-growing problems related to neurosciences and behavioural sciences. Delivering the inaugural address, the Additional Director General, Health Services, Government of India, Dr R. K. Srivastava, remarked that mental health is being given considerable importance in the field of medical science. Designed to bring considerable revolution in the treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of mental illness in the country, he called for the full implementation of the various laws and regulations in this field. In developing countries like India, we need to change our mindset regarding those suffering mental sickness, he said. He emphasised that the government had laid down the Mental Health Act 2003, in which several issues including modernization of mental healthcare and the need to create awareness about mentally sick person were highlighted. The number of mentally sick persons have increased considerably and there is a need to open more training centres, appoint paramedics and psychiatrists in this sector, he said. Dr Srivastava added that in recent years, therapeutic strategies for the mentally ill persons has not been innovatively used by psychologists and psychiatrists. Rehabilitation strategies have to be often worked out and implemented at individual level. The discovery of neurological and psycho-neurological issues in mental health and the many neurocognitive rehabilitative methods used while treating mental and neurological disorders, including those suffering from strokes, need to be brought to the forefront so that others learn from these innovations. The people who suffer from mental disorders would also benefit from these new innovations, said Dr Srivastava. Dr Deepak Raheja, director, The Hope Foundation, said that till recently mental disorder was considered to be a result of some curse or witchcraft. However, with constant progress in the psychopathic sciences, people are going in for medical advises for the treatment of mental disorder. Dr Raheja cautioned that with urbanisation and people coming under stress, the mental healthcare needs to be modernised. By the year 2020, mental illness will be the greatest killer, Dr Raheja said. He blamed the current work environment for the increasing number of psycho cases. |

It's funny though that just as soon as we bring in and send out all this candy, we cannot wait to use it up and get it out to get ready for Passover. So In addition to all these great Purim ideas, GKC has got the answers to what to do with leftover candy in 2011. Last year we suggested:
Candy Bar Blondies [2]
Tootsie Roll Cheesecake [3]
Hershey Bar Banana Treat [4]
Potato Chip Baked Chicken [5]
This year we've added a few more suggestions Leftover Candy Cupcakes [6] and Leftover Candy Chocolate Bark [7]. (Remember the local schools love wrapped, marked candy donations to use as treats for the kids – check with your local school. In New York, JEP (the Jewish Enrichment Program) collects the wrapped, marked candy at many of the schools in the tri-state area to use for their kiruv programs. If you do not have a collection at your school you can mail it to them at JEP 110 Rockaway Turnpike, Lawrence, NY 11559.)

Challenges Check-In
Posted by Nicole
TGIF! That means one week until I am home and free from the stress of finals.
Speaking of, I am halfway done with my tests; I had two finals this week and I have two more next week. I've been spending lots of time studying, both indoors and outdoors.
in my apartment with breakfast
in the Marshall School of Business building (I figured just being in the building would make me smarter)
in the center of campus on a bench in Alumni Park
….with coffee in hand
LA "winter" can't be beat
Workouts have been really good this week. We didn't have as many dance practices, which gave me more time to work out on my own. I've been running more than normal and really enjoying strength training. It's a welcome change!
In terms of food, I've been surviving off of oat bran, bananas, apples, eggs, random veggies, popcorn, yogurt, and snacks from the sorority house (cottage cheese and PB below). My most time-intensive meal this week was a can of soup with added carrots and spinach. Kinda pathetic…
Speaking of food….. two weeks ago I posted about some personal dietary Challenges that I was going to work on. Let's see how I've done:
desserts: no cookies, candy, cake, brownies, ice cream, froyo, etc. – this won't be too hard because I surprisingly don't crave these too often
- 9/10 – the closest I have gotten to dessert is granola bars or over-sweetened yogurt (I'm looking at you, Yoplait). This challenge has been a success!
bad beverages: no energy drinks; alcohol and/or soda limited to once per week – this will be difficult because hello, I'm in college… and I randomly crave soda like crazy!
- 10/10 – perhaps I should thank finals season because this challenge has easily been a success! I've also noticed a decrease in my soda cravings.
unnecessary carbs: no white bread/rice, cereal
- 8/10 – this one could still use some improvement. I've had my fair share of snacky chips/etc. lately, but overall, not too bad. I haven't had any cereal and that alone is an accomplishment.
I cannot stress enough how much my diet influences my motivation to exercise, go out with friends, do chores, study, etc. Also, it greatly affects my mood. I feel good when I eat well. Easy as that.
– Nicole
What are your thoughts – Does your diet influence your mood?
How are your finals going?!

# November video game sales rose 15% to $804 million. NPD's November retail sales data for the video game sector was reported last night. Video game software sales reportedly rose 15%. We believe this is generally in line with expectations, and puts the business on track for a strong finish to the year.
# Big X360 and PS2 titles dominated sales. Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Gears of Wars reportedly grossed $62 million selling over 1 million units. Final Fantasy XII for PS2 grossed $49 million selling nearly 900,000 units. Activision (NASDAQ:ATVI) seems well situated with Guitar Hero II and Call of Duty 3 in the top 10, as was THQ's WWE 2007. EA's (ERTS) Need for Speed and Madden 2007 were also in the top 10. Nintendo's (OTCPK:NTDOY) Zelda is dominating Wii sales selling 412,000 units.
# Limited PS3 supply not slowing down Sony (NYSE:SNE). PS3 sales were reported to be 197,000 units, putting its one million holiday target in question. As a result of the PS3's constrained supply, it appears people are looking toward other Sony products to purchase this holiday season. The PS2 sold 664,000 units putting it in first place among all consoles.
# Nintendo also benefiting this holiday season. NPD reported 476,000 Wii's sold in November and the DS dominated the handheld market with 918,000 units sold. The GBA also showed strength selling 641,000 units. Moreover, one Wii title and the two DS titles were in the top 10, and both were published in-house.
# X360 market is hitting critical mass. NPD reported 511,000 Xbox 360's sold in November, more than twice its average over recent months. With no PS3 in Europe, we think Microsoft may be on track for 10 million worldwide by year-end. The Xbox 360 is getting to the point were it could support a $100 million release.
# Activision and THQ (THQI) are likely beneficiaries. Expectations were set with moderation, and both Activision and THQ look well positioned to exceed them, while EA looks overextended and in the wrong places. Take-Two's games are out in the market, and testing well, but none are huge sellers.
# The group looks overbought. ERTS has some of the wind taken out of it, but still trades at a premium. It looks like money going out of ERTS has been trying to squeeze into ATVI and THQI. Both are clearly well positioned this holiday season, but current valuations imply share shifts are carried forward to next year.

I'm not going to bother writing much on this one; we all know the deal. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander in Chief of Combined Fleet, put together a brilliant operational plan, and we were caught sleeping. Result: we got our butts handed to us. The only bright spot in the whole debacle was that the commander of Japan's carrier force Vice-Admiral Chuichi Nagumo, failed to launch the follow-up strikes which might have completely wrecked the base's machine shops and fuel depots, thus providing the US Pacific fleet with some logistical breathing room. The other thing I will say is that I've never been particularly indignant about the fact that the Japanese failed to declare war on us before the bombs started falling. Hey, they tried, but it just didn't quite work out. And after all, the world community hadn't evidenced any indignity over their declaring war on the Russians in 1905 after they had already commenced hostilities. Likewise, nobody told the Egyptians that the Israeli Air Force was gonna bushwhack them in '67, either, and we still think the Israeli's are the good guys, right? Welcome to warfare.

The Cabinet will on Thursday decide on raising natural gas prices for the first time in three years even as the move faces stiff resistance as it would result in rise in electricity tariff and fertiliser cost.
The Oil Ministry's proposal to price all domestically produced natural gas as per a complex international hub and imported LNG-based formula suggested by the Rangarajan panel is listed as item number 8 on the agenda of Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) meeting scheduled for tomorrow.
It wants gas prices to be revised every quarter till 2017 when rates will be completely freed, sources said.
If approved, gas price will rise to USD 6.775 per million British thermal unit from USD 4.2 currently. The rates will jump to USD 8.55 in April 2014 when Reliance Industries is entitled for revision in price for its eastern offshore KG-D6 gas.
Left parties have alleged that Oil Minister M Veerappa Moily is trying to help RIL by proposing a price hike.
The CCEA, some government insiders say, may not accept the Oil Ministry's proposal of revising prices every three months based on quarterly average of international hub and imported gas (LNG) price.
It may approve a 'moderate' revision but put a cap or ceiling of no more than USD 7 per mmBtu as it would be not advisable to have a fuel cost with cascading impact on the economy, change every quarter and that too based on international volatility.
Power Ministry has opposed any hike saying electricity generation at any price of over USD 5 was economically unviable. Also, it has questioned the need to price the fuel in US dollars as any depreciation in the Indian currency would further add to the strain on the consumers.
Sources said the variable cost of generating electricity at the 2014 gas prices would be around Rs 5.40 per kilowatt hour (per unit), taking the total cost of generation to around Rs 6.40 per unit. This compares to current cost of Rs 2.93 a unit.
The Fertiliser Ministry has shot off a letter to the Oil Ministry saying it had never supported an increase in gas price as was being brought out in the note Oil Ministry moved for consideration of the CCEA.
The hike in natural gas price by USD 1 would result in Rs 3,155 crore per annum hit on fertiliser plants for producing 23 million tonnes of urea this fiscal and Rs 4,144 crore a year for 32 million tonnes of urea production from 2017-18, sources added.
Mr Moily says a gas price hike was essential to incentivise exploration so that domestic production is raised and imports cut.

The Contraceptive Properties of Carrots
Caution the information contained in this page may not be suitable for minors. If you should not be reading this page click here to go back to the Museum foyer. PLEASE NOTE: The Carrot Museum does not recommend self diagnosis or self medication. The information contained in this web site has not been verified for correctness. Some of the information contained herein is hearsay and may not be correct. Use the information from this page only at your own risk! If in doubt consult a doctor. IMPORTANT Disclaimer: If you try any methods used on this page you do so at your own risk. The first oral contraception consisted of potions made from plants and bark. One of the oldest known plants used for contraception was silphium, a member of the giant fennel family, described in the 4th century BC. The extract was purportedly very effective, causing the plant to be used to extinction by the 3rd or 4th century AD. More than 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates described the use of Queen Anne's lace or wild carrot as an oral contraceptive and abortifacient. Dioscorides knew about Wild carrot and stated that it brought forth the menses and aborted an embryo. to do this he said take its seed. Scribonius Largus (ad 47) (a physician who accompanied the Emperor Claudius to Britain) and Soranus (a Greek physician in Rome) one of the earliest writers to talk about carrot seed and fertility and was the first to include wild carrot seeds in a recipe for contraception. His concoction for inducing sterility included cabbage, rue, mint, dittany, birthwort (!), wild carrot, silphium, myrrh and pepper. Scribonius was in fact opposed to abortion, as was Pliny. Recent concerns about the Hippocratic Oath with regard to abortion have an early precedent. In the first century A.D., Scribonius Largus considered Hippocrates's provision that forbade giving a woman an abortive pessary. Scribonius Largus cited the Hippocratic principle that medicine is the art of healing, not harming, to support his position in favour of the prohibition of all abortions. Soranus, meanwhile, decided that the Oath prohibited only abortive pessaries and that other abortions were permitted if the life of the mother was in danger. He added, however, that he would never prescribe an abortive agent to preserve a woman's beauty or to cover up her adultery. Romans used an alleged wonder plant of the carrot and parsley family called silphium, a plant which looked very similar to Wild Carrot. It was a sort of giant fennel that grew wild near Cyrene, an ancient coastal city in North Africa. Silphium had many uses perfume from its flowers, food from its stalk, and medicine from its juice (or resin) and roots. The Romans didn't discover the plant's properties there's evidence the Greeks and Egyptians used it as a contraceptive as early as the seventh century BC on the advice of physicians, who recommended a monthly dose that mixed a lump of resin the size of a chickpea with water. The Roman scholar Pliny the Elder described use of the resin (called laser or laserpicium) "with soft wool as a pessary to promote the menstrual discharge." Menstrual discharge, of course, means no pregnancy. One physician in the second century AD named Soranus claimed a special recipe using silphium had been used to terminate pregnancies. In Contraception and Abortion from the Ancient World to the Renaissance (1992), medical historian John Riddle claims that modern studies show the recipe and others like it would work.
When herbal lore such as this survives the test of time, there is a good
chance there is some truth behind it. There has not been a lot of research done on fertility inhibiting herbs, especially in this country. But there has been some in other countries. In Chinese laboratory tests, the seeds have been shown to block progesterone synthesis in pregnant animals. Which deprives the uterine tissues of the progesterone needed to make a nutritive bed for the fertilized egg. This gives scientific credence to the actions our ancestors. Robin Bennet conducted an experiment, in which 12 women from New York City used 1 teaspoon of QAL seeds chewed well for 12 months for contraceptive purposes. "During the study there were three women apparently conceived; one confirmed her pregnancy with a laboratory test and terminated it clinically. She had been using the carrot seeds daily until the month she conceived when she used them on only three of the recommended 7-8 days around ovulation. The others felt pregnant but did not confirm their suspicions. The both used herbal emmenagogues and menstruated. One of the two women used seeds for 7-8 days around ovulation. The other women used them daily. None of the other women in the study became pregnant, and half were using QAL as their only method of birth control." Based on the results her conclusion was the seeds were a very good method of contraception for those women who were willing to pay close attention to their cycles. The majority of women in the study reported no side effects. A few women have noticed an occasional side effect of slight constipation, from the seeds being a bit too drying in the colon, which can be remedied by increased water consumption.
It is possible that you experience a very annoying side effect of inflammation
and irritation of the inner and outer lips of the vagina. Accompanied with
a very painful itch, which at first looks like a yeast infection, but it
is not. It may begin two days after taking a tsp of seeds a day and disappears
two days after you stop taking them. Based on this experience it may take
two days for the herb to circulate through the body.
Women with a history of kidney or gallstones should consult with an herbalist
before using Queen Anne's Lace seeds. QAL contains estrogen and can cause
estrogen-like side effects, and may encourage the growth of estrogen dependent
tumors. Estrogenic herbs should be avoided by anyone taking birth control
pills, other estrogen medications, or blood pressure medications.
Modern wise women recommend one tsp of Queen Anne's Lace seeds chewed daily
during ovulation and continued for up to one week. This dosage has worked
effectively for women of average height and build. If you are above average
height and/or build you might find the seeds more effective if you slightly
raise the dosage. Consult with your herbalist. If you try this you do so at your own risk. The seeds, collected from the flower head in fall are thoroughly chewed, swallowed and washed down with water or juice. The taste is heavy and oily, not very pleasant, but doesn't taste terrible. It is the volatile oils contained with in the seed that prevent implantation. Chewing them releases the oils. If you simply swallow them they will pass right through your system, with out releasing their oils and not be effective. One teaspoon is taken per day. The most important time to take them is just before ovulation, during ovulation and for a week following. In Ms Bennet's study, women took the seeds orally and chose from three different time frames, depending on which fits their situation. Some took them every day through out the cycle (though this might not be good on a long term basis, but should be ok for the first few months). While others, who might have unprotected sex infrequently might take them only after intercourse and for the following week. Then those who are sexually active and familiar enough with their cycles to know when they are fertile, might take them before, during and after the fertile time, which would mean taking them for 10 to 14 days in the middle of the cycle around the time of ovulation. It is very important to use a back up method of contraception particularly during the first two months of using the QAL. It takes time for the body to adjust, as well as for you to develop confidence in such an unconventional method. Visit one of the many Contraceptive Museums. Click here.

Aug. 15, 2005, 11:39PM 1,000 citations issued on mad cow regulations U.S. government inspectors cited meatpackers more than 1,000 times over a 17-month period for violating rules concerning the removal of tissue associated with mad cow disease, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday. "No specified risk materials got into the food supply" as a result of any of the violations, said Lisa Wallenda Picard, a spokeswoman for the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service. In all cases, corrective actions were taken or unsafe practices were changed, Picard said. The release of the noncompliance reports comes as Japan, normally the biggest overseas customer for U.S. beef, debates whether to ease the ban on U.S. beef it imposed in December 2003 after the U.S. found its first case of mad cow disease. Many of the violations cited by the USDA were related to paperwork mistakes, according to the American Meat Institute, which represents Tyson Foods, Smithfield Foods and other large U.S. meatpackers. The USDA released the noncompliance reports to news organizations that had sought the information in freedom of information requests, the Washington-based trade group said in a prepared statement. Consumer group Public Citizen said it was still reviewing all the documents and would need several days to summarize the noncompliance reports. "I think there still has to be a concern about meat from an infected animal making it into the food supply," said Tony Corbo, legislative representative for Public Citizen. "It is not a fail-safe system." The meat industry disagreed. "Some groups will no doubt attempt to use this information as evidence of possible operational problems and even a food safety concern, when nothing is further from the truth," said Jim Hodges, president of the AMI Foundation. The USDA ordered that the risk materials be removed from slaughtered cattle Dec. 30, 2003, a week after the first U.S. mad cow case was confirmed. The second case was confirmed in June, at an undisclosed location in Texas. The noncompliance citations generally broke down into five categories: not having sufficient plans to address SRM removal, inadequate SRM removal, cross-contamination, poor record-keeping and inadequate age determination, Tyson Foods spokesman Gary Mickelson said. Reuters News contributed to this report. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/business/3311823 the USA BSE/TSE firewalls are and have been a joke. they never existed except on paper. this is appauling. how can you have all this still in 2005; >>>not having sufficient plans to address SRM removal, inadequate SRM removal, cross-contamination, poor record-keeping and inadequate age determination<<< and not have any potential tainted material getting in the human and animal food supply. you cannot. the June 2004 Enhanced BSE surveillance program was just what i said it was when it started, nothing more than an enhanced program to cover up any mad cow disease. >>>"No specified risk materials got into the food supply" as a result of any of the violations, said Lisa Wallenda Picard, a spokeswoman for the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service<<< blatant lies, just more blatant lies by the USDA et al. USA BSE GBR should be raised immediately to USA BSE GBR IV from USA BSE GBR III, just for the continued lies and deciet alone. ... TSS

How can I tell if my TV is VESA compliant. Although the vast majority of TV's are VESA compliant, there are some models that are not. Please consult your TV product manual for more information. Most manuals indicate the exact VESA standard necessary for mounting, or simply indicate the VESA mounts are supported in general. If this is the case, simply purchase a wall mount within the TV size guidelines of your TV. How do I measure my TV's VESA standard. Look for the 4 mounting holes on the back of your flat screen television. Take both a horizontal and vertical measurement (in mm). This is your VESA Standard. A VESA hole pattern is measured in both horizontal and vertical distance between mounting holes. For example, VESA 75 x 75 means your TV mounting holes are 75 apart horizontally and 75mm apart vertically. |
