LIMA — Administering a grant to increase work place accommodations of breastfeeding moms, Shelly Miller realized her own employer could make improvements on the front.
"It's always been welcome here," said Miller, coordinator of the Creating Healthy Communities grant at Allen County Public Health. "But we didn't have a written policy, and we didn't have a designated space."
Now they have both, signaling to female employees the agency supports breastfeeding when they return to work after maternity leave.
Providing reasonable break time for breastfeeding moms to pump at work has been required under federal law since 2010. This year, the Health Department, Activate Allen County, Allen County Children First Council and Allen County Women, Infants and Children are increasing their work with employers to improve those accommodations.
Breastfeeding drops off significantly when mothers return to work, said Lori Nester, breastfeeding coordinator for Allen County WIC and also a member of the Activate Allen County breastfeeding committee.
Nationally, nearly 75 percent of women had ever breastfed their babies born in 2012. However, only 44 percent of women are still breastfeeding by the time the baby was 6 months old. Ohio was below the national average in 2012, with 67 percent of mothers ever breastfeeding, and 40 percent at six months. Ohio has perennially low scores in breastfeeding.
Research shows women who return to work after maternity leave are more successful at breastfeeding if their employer has a lactation support program in place, Miller said.
A strong business case can be made for lactation support, Nester said. Breastfed babies are sick less often, and when they are sick, are sick for less time, which means less time off for moms and dads. Babies who are sick less help keep down health insurance costs. Women who feel supported in their decision to breastfeed are happier, more productive, more loyal employees, Nester said.
The Creating Healthy Communities project of Allen County Public Health partnered this year with Tuttle Services, Inc., Wright Distribution, Allen County Educational Services Center and Allen County Children Services to develop, adopt and implement breastfeeding policies at their businesses.
Through the program, employers created written policies, designated space for expressing breast milk and received breastfeeding supplies and equipment (breast pumps, glider rocking chair/ottomans, small refrigerators, and informational materials and literature for breastfeeding).
Allen County Public Health is looking for four new employers to go through the program in 2014. It will also conduct Business Case for Breastfeeding trainings on compliance with the law for breastfeeding next year, Miller said.
Breastfeeding support can be extensive; some large companies are implementing plans as part of overall wellness efforts, and even including lactation consultants. A space can be dedicated, with pumps and kits for individuals, if a business employs a large number of child-bearing age, Nester said.
However, it need not be elaborate. The space must be clean and private, and it cannot be a bathroom. If a woman has the ability, she can lock her own office door and pump. But she can also use any room with the capacity to lock the door behind her.
Women who plan to breastfeed should talk with their employer while they are pregnant, and not wait until they have come back from maternity leave. Having a plan in place will remove some of the return-to-work stress, Nester said.
Women should act as a resource, going in with a plan for a space and structuring breaks that work with their jobs. They also can explain a little about lactation: Women will need to pump more often early in an infant's life. As their babies get older, women will need to pump less. Some women pump an abundant amount of milk easily, others need longer amount of time, and a woman won't know that until she has had her baby. Also, the baby's health at birth could affect breastfeeding and the need to pump.
"The longer a new mom has for a maternity leave, the better off she's going to be when she returns to work," Nester said. "At six weeks, you're just getting your feet back under you. We've worked with women who need to return to work two or three weeks after their birth. You're still recovering from the birth at that point, but they do it, because they need the job. We just ask employers to realize there is more intense months for pumping early, and then it's reduced."

TCT Stainless Successfully Implements STRATIX Metal Industry ERP from Invera
TCT Stainless, a flatrolled steel distributor of coil and sheet, has implemented the metal service center software STRATIX from the metal industry software specialist Invera.
Sterling Heights, MI (PRWEB) July 01, 2012
TCT Stainless, a flatrolled stainless steel service center, has implemented the metal service center ERP software STRATIX from the metal industry software specialist Invera. TCT implemented STRATIX using the STRATIX on-demand hosting service.
TCT Stainless implemented a full complement of STRATIX features such as on-line production planning, shop floor receipt of goods, shop-floor production recording, wireless shop-floor functions, and on-line shipment planning. They also use a comprehensive flatrolled-specific production system to computerize all flat rolled production.
For Sales, TCT Stainless benefits from the Order Status Desktop, which shows a comprehensive status of the customer order at a single glance. Since the slitting and cut-to-length processing steps are being recorded in the warehouse, the Sales Department can see the item´s status through each required process, whether it´s been scheduled, currently being processed, or complete. Outside processing steps are also integrated with the item´s status, including any transfers to and from the outside processor.
STRATIX enables TCT Stainless to be more paperless with the use of STRATIX on-line Production Planning and Shipment Planning. From the production planning screen, multiple order items can be highlighted and grouped together to create a slitting or cut-to-length job. For slitting jobs, the planner can specify the arbor layout, OD breaks, as well as additional slitting specific functions such as run full or partial, slit and re-slit, and trim.
The on-line Shipping Planning function provides a comprehensive, multi-layer inquiry that summarizes orders by customer, delivery route, or shipping zone for better load consolidation. The shipping department can highlight orders and create a load with a single click.
The implementation of the metals ERP software solution STRATIX included sales, purchasing, receiving, inventory management, multi-step production, production scheduling, delivery and logistics planning, invoicing, and financials. The implementation of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solution STRATIX was completed in seven months across all locations.
Peter Doucet, Vice President of Consulting at Invera, added, "TCT Stainless saved a lot of time during the implementation by using the STRATIX flat-rolled user guide documentation as is. They also used the coil and sheet specific video tutorials created by Invera for flat-rolled products."
STRATIX ON-DEMAND Hosting Service
TCT chose the STRATIX ON-DEMAND hosting service to allow them to focus on their core metal operations and outsource their technology operational requirements to Invera. With this service, all software applications and data are hosted at the Invera Technology Center. This hosting service is used by nearly half of Invera´s STRATIX customers today.
About TCT Stainless

During the height of his career through the 1960s and 1970s, Muhammad Ali was (and remains) an iconic figure and sports legend. For the Baby-Boomers coming of age at this time, Muhammad Ali was both a hero and a controversial figure, whose actions and fearless bravado voiced the opinions of many of their generation.
Ali was born to the name Cassius Clay on January 17, 1942, in Louisville, KY. At the age of 12, he started boxing after thieves stole his bicycle and he wanted to learn the skills to "whoop" them. At only 18 years old, he won the Light Heavyweight Gold Medal at the 1960 Olympics in Rome. In his 1975 biography, Ali claims that shortly after receiving the medal, he threw it into the Ohio River after he was refused service at a "whites-only" restaurant. In 1964, Clay fought Sonny Liston to earn the title of Heavyweight Champion, as the youngest boxer to claim the title. In the same year, Clay converted to Nation of Islam, a religious and political movement aimed to improve the condition of African Americans, and was renamed Muhammad Ali. For many in the mainstream community, the change made Ali a controversial figure, as Nation of Islam was associated with Malcolm X and the Black Power movements and was often looked at with suspicion and hostility. Ali was very vocal about his beliefs, at times promoting separatist ideas that were considered to be radical.
In 1966, Ali was informed that he was eligible to be drafted for the Vietnam War. Famously, Ali declared that he would refuse to serve, saying he was a conscientious objector because it was against his religion to fight a war that was not in the name of Allah. Muhammad Ali faced criticism from many for being unpatriotic and was charged with draft eviction. However, he also had support from many as a figure for the peace movement that had been growing in the US since 1964. While on trial for draft eviction, Ali famously explained his reason for opposing the war: "Man, I ain't got no quarrel with them Vietcong." It was a reason that resonated with many Baby-Boomers who felt that the war was an abuse of government authority. He was stripped of his heavyweight title and exiled from the boxing community for 5 years. During this time, he spoke at peace rallies at colleges and schools in favor of ending the Vietnam War.
With his return to boxing in 1970, Muhammad Ali came back with increased swagger and boasting to reclaim his title. In 1974, Ali fought George Foreman in the epic "Rumble in the Jungle Fight" where Ali, projected as the underdog, reclaimed the heavyweight title. He used his "Rope-a-Dope" technique to tire Foreman out before finishing him with a heavy rain of blows. This fight was followed by the famous 1975 "Thrilla in Manila" fight against Joe Frazier, where Ali, after 14 grueling rounds of fighting, was again victorious. This time the fight was a close call and both fighters were in very poor shape by the end of the fight. The fight has been marked as one of the Top 5 Sporting Events of the 20th Century and was viewed by 700 million people worldwide.
During the height of his career, Muhammad Ali was also prevalent in the mainstream media. He appeared in commercials and did many interviews, offering his opinions loudly and without shame, claiming he was "the greatest." Although he was a controversial figure, many Baby-Boomers of very different backgrounds could agree that he was a hero and a champion. He was supported and revered by the peace movement; by African-Americans who aligned with his beliefs or those who were proud of his example; by the white population that shared his beliefs or valued him greatly as a sports hero and public personality. Many of his ideas challenged the ideas of the mainstream, which resonated with many Baby-Boomers who were seeking to overturn and progress government institutions and laws.
Muhammad Ali officially retired from boxing in 1981. In 1984, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He would go on to open the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center. He has continued to engage in many philanthropic pursuits, such as in 1991 when he met with Saddam Hussein to negotiate the release of American hostages and his 2001 peace talks in Afghanistan. In 1996 Ali famously lit the giant Olympic torch in Atlanta to kick off the start of the Summer Olympic Games. He currently resides with his family in Arizona.

Supershort Stories
Can you write a complete story in only six words? Miami Book Fair International has issued a unique challenge called #6WordsMiami. If you can master the challenge, your story could be an official selection at the fair this November.
Here's the deal: Tell a complete story using a half-dozen words. You can tweet or post your story on Facebook using the hashtag #6WordsMiami or email it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The best stories will be interpreted and shot by a professional photographer — fitting because the idea for the contest was inspired by postcards. "I thought it would be fun to do... a twist on the iconic 'wish you were here' postcard," explains Lissette Mendez, the program's director at the Center for Literature and Theatre at Miami Dade College. "The photographer we will choose will be someone who loves capturing that 'Miaminess.' It's a way to recognize the talent of the writers who are sending their work in and also to highlight a local photographer."
Six winning stories will be interpreted by the photographer and published in a limited-edition postcard set. One winner will also present her or his story in person at the fair.
If you're looking for inspiration, you'll find it (along with tasty libations) this Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m., when #6wordsmiami hosts a happy hour at R House (2727 NW Second Ave., Miami). Mendez promises that attendees "can grab a drink and write their stories and meet other people who like books."

EPA WaterSense program steps outside
The EPA unrolls WaterSense labeling for irrigation controllers, the first outdoor product eligible for certification in a program that previously focused only on indoor items like toilets and shower heads.
Tue, Nov 08, 2011 at 07:30 PM
Some excellent recent news from the Environmental Protection Agency for all you water-conscious landscapers out there:
WaterSense, a soggy spin of sorts on the EPA's Energy Star program, has finally extended its reach out of the home and will now include certification for water-saving outdoor/landscaping products. Somebody alert these Hamptons homeowners, and quick.
Many homeowners have been picking up on the five-year-old labeling system that applies to things like toilets, shower heads, bathroom sink faucets, urinals and even entire homes. (Check out my recent post about Oregon's first WaterSense-certified home here.) Now, irrigation controllers — devices that according to the EPA, "act like a thermostat for your sprinkler system telling it when to turn on and off, use local weather and landscape conditions to tailor watering schedules to actual conditions on the site" — have joined the ranks of WaterSense-certified products and could be available as soon as spring 2012. Like existing WaterSense-labeled products, irrigation controllers are required to be independently certified to meet the EPA's criteria for water efficiency and performance.
With residential landscaping claiming more than 7 billion gallons of water per day in the U.S., these weather-based irrigation controllers have the potential to help waterers save big. According to the EPA, homeowners have the potential to collectively save $410 million per year on utility bills and 110 billions gallons of water by using WaterSense-labeled irrigation controllers.
Says Sheila Frace, director of EPA's Office of Water's Municipal Support Division:
As much as half of the water we use on our landscapes goes to waste due to evaporation, wind and improperly scheduled irrigation systems. WaterSense-labeled irrigation controllers are designed to do the thinking for you and apply water only when needed, to ensure a healthy landscape that doesn't waste water."
Next in the pipeline for WaterSense's product labeling program? The incredibly sexy world of water softeners and pre-rinse spray valves.

Join us for classes in Cambridge, Brookline, Charlestown, Boston, Somerville & Southie!
FIND OUT WHAT TUITION INCLUDES!Important
Research Articles
Music Together is an internationally recognized
early childhood music program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers,
kindergardeners, and the adults who love them. First offered to the
public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based,
developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that
strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
Music Together classes are based on the recognition
that all children are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune,
keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our
culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning. Families get a new songbook, 2 CD's of songs, chants, tonal & rhythm patterns, each semester, and a parent guide detailing the current research!
Our classes are known
to be just as much fun for the parents! Parents' active participation
is essential in class, and each week they discover fun ways to play
musically with their child. Our experienced teachers share their
expertise each week through education moments when they share
information about the latest research on music development in children.
Class activities stimulate learning at home through play, where parents
can continue to encourage their child's music development through
listening to the CD, and making music with their child. Parents look
forward to our jam session each week when we play along to various
styles of world music. We play along to jazz, blues, funk, zydeco, ska,
bossanova, samba and salsa, featuring music from India, Africa, Italy,
Greece, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, and America, just to name a few! Musical
exchange is encouraged, and parents are invited to bring in music they
enjoy at home in to be used in class. Our classes are a also a great
way to meet other families in the community!

HOUSTON -- Charges have been filed against a 21-year-old gunman who was wounded by Houston police near the Occupy Houston camp Monday afternoon.
Joshua Anthony Twohig is charged with aggravated assault against a public servant.
Police said Twohig, dressed in a business suit and armed with an assault rifle, walked into Tranquility Park in downtown Houston around 5:10 p.m. Monday and started shooting into the air and a nearby fountain.
Bicycle officers were flagged down by concerned citizens.
We heard the gunshots and they thought they were false shots. I figured we don t need somebody at Occupy doing that and giving us a bad name, said JJ Freeman, who was with the officers when Twohig entered the park from the corner of Bagby and Rusk.
When the officers entered the park, they spotted Twohig standing on a bridge near the park s fountains and pond.
As the officers approached Twohig, they said he took cover behind a 4-foot concrete wall.
According to HPD, the officers told Twohig to drop his weapon, but he refused, instead shooting once into the pond and then pointing the gun to his head.
Police said Twohig began screaming, Shoot me! Shoot me!
About that time, police said a witness started recording the incident on a cell phone camera.
The video shows the suspect standing on the bridge with the gun to his head and the officers taking cover and shouting at him to drop his weapon.
When Twohig made hostile advances toward the officers, they opened fire.
The cops started shooting because he started shooting, said Amy Tepper, a witness.
The video shows Twohig falling to the ground, but then getting up again and reaching for his rifle.
At that point, the officers fired again, and Twohig went back down.
Moments later, U.S. Deputy Marshals arrived and helped take Twohig into custody.
He was rushed to Ben Taub, where he remained in stable condition Tuesday with non-life-threatening injuries.
Twohig s neighbors said they were surprised by what happened, but that Twohig had been troubled lately.
Josh was always sweet. He was always sweet to me, said his neighbor, Vastie, who only wanted to be identified by her first name.
Vastie said Twohig had recently lost his job and was depressed.
Neighbors said Twohig had lived in their apartment complex with his wife and 1-year-old baby for about six months, and before that, he moved to Houston from Virginia.
They said Twohig s wife was recovering from surgery, and the couple had been worried about money.
Some of the neighbors even said they saw Twohig leave his apartment in a suit on Monday with a rifle, but they assumed he just had a job interview and was going to pawn the gun for cash.
When he left here yesterday he was nicely dressed, he had a nice shirt on and a vest so I thought he was going on a job interview, said Vastie.
As is customary in an officer-involved shooting, the case is being investigated by HPD Homicide and Internal Affairs, as well as the Harris County District Attorney s Office.

Madden NFL 09 is definitely a Madden game. There's footballs, dudes who like to talk about footballs, and dudes who like to tackle other dudes running with footballs.

Ok, so I was skeptical about the Madden this year, as I am sure that a lot of other Madden fans where.

S. Lamar bike lanes to be striped — again
The Oxford Pathways Commission learned that South Lamar will have to be re-striped after a miscommunication led to the new stripes creating lanes that were 1 foot too big. (August 19, 2014, Page 1)
FNC Park, employees stay hard at work
Players and coaches participating in youth sports in Oxford and the surrounding areas may have an offseason, but for the people responsible for making sure that experience is top-notch, there's not much of one. (July 14, 2014, Page 6)
Walking trail a step closer
OPC accepted a bid from Bennett Construction Wednesday to start construction of a half-mile walking trail in Garden Terrace. (July 10, 2014, Page 1)
Mother Nature causes woes at OPC
Recent heavy rains have caused soggy fields and less people using the city pool. (June 12, 2014, Page 1A)
New tennis courts almost ready
