What you need to know: After
an awful 2005, Gary Darnell had turned things around and made
the Aggie defense respectable over the last few season, but it
was a tentative, read-and-react D that didn't do nearly enough
to get to the quarterback and dictate the action. That all
changes under Joe Kines as the defense is going to be far more
aggressive and will try to generate far more pressure after
finishing 104th in the nation in sacks and 90th in tackles for
loss. The problem is the talent level; it's not all that high,
and there's not a lot of starting experience on the front seven.
However, the linebacking corps will go from lumbering to sleek
and fast, and there are plenty of veterans in the secondary to
count on. The line has to be better, and it should be if
everyone stays healthy. However, the tackles will be an issue
outside of Kellen Heard.
Jordan Pugh, 90
Cyril Obiozor, 3.5
Interceptions: Devin Gregg, Jordan Peterson, 1
Star of the defense: Junior DT Kellen Heard
Player who has to step up and become a star: Senior DE
Amos Gbunblee
Unsung star on the rise: Redshirt freshman LB Garrick
Best pro prospect: Heard
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Heard, 2)
DE Cyril Obiozor, 3) LB Matt Featherston
Strength of the defense: Defensive back experience, quick
Weakness of the defense:
Pass rush,
front seven starting experience
Defensive Line
Projected Starters:
The line hasn't come up with a pass rush for a few years, but it gets
leading sacker Cyril Obiozor back. The 6-4, 264-pound senior, the
only returning starter to the line, made 39 tackles and 3.5 sacks with
9.5 tackles for loss after slimming down and getting in better shape.
He's not a natural, sure-thing pass rusher, but he's good enough to
produce here and there if he has help around him.
Taking over on the other side, in place of Chris Harrington, will be
senior Amos Gbunblee, who'll be a part of rotation but could
quickly become the team's best pass rusher. The 6-5, 250-pounder played
in every game making 13 tackles and just half a sack, but he managed to
be in the backfield throughout the off-season.
About to blow up and become an All-Big 12 star is junior Kellen Heard,
a 6-6, 345-pound wall on the inside who made 37 tackles with a sack and
4.5 tackles for loss. He played in every game and started the bowl game
against Penn State. Keeping his weight in check is the key, but if he
can get in even better shape, he should be a presence in the backfield
and the anchor against the run.
Sophomore Lucas Patterson needs to become a star. The 6-4,
297-pounder saw a little bit of work last year making 24 tackles with
1.5 sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss, including a start against Penn
State, and while he was decent and should be fine going into this year,
he needs to be more productive. He's decent against the run, but he's
not going to fly into the backfield too often.
Projected Top Reserves: While Gbunblee is a
promising new end, he might give way to senior Michael Bennett
early on. The 6-4, 261-pounder made 43 tackles with a sack and six
tackles for loss, and while has the size and the experience, he needs to
be a better pass rusher. He also needs to get to the classroom on a more
regular basis after missing spring ball. If he wants it, he'll be a
great one.
JUCO transfer Matt Moss
got to school early and turned into a possible answer for the
pass rushing problems. He's a very quick, very active all-around
end who was considered one of the nation's top JUCO recruits
coming out of Grossmont CC in California. While he's not huge at
6-3 and 252 pounds, he's tough.
The line desperately needs depth at tackle meaning 6-4,
269-pound senior Chris Smith needs to be a presence. He's
not going to dominate anyone and he'll get pushed around way too
much, but he has a little bit of experience making six tackles
last season.
Watch Out For ... more of a pass rush. The coaching
staff is making a concerted effort to bring more pressure, and
it needs the ends to provide it or else the scheme will start to
get a bit quirky.
Strength: Potential on the end. Obiozor isn't
special, but he's a serviceable veteran. Gbunblee and Moss are
promising, and Bennett, if he decides he wants to be a star,
will be.
Weakness: Tackles. Heard will be an All-Big 12
star. That's about it. Patterson and Smith need to surprise,
while 292-pound David Tafuga has to bring more than just
Outlook: This could be a problem unless several
prospects surprise. Outside of Heard, there's no star power
whatsoever and there needs to be someone who can get into the
backfield on a regular basis. On the positive side, last year's
veteran group didn't produce jack squat when it came to getting
to the quarterback while the run defense was mediocre. In other
words, the lost starters are replaceable.
Rating: 6
Projected Starters: The linebacking corps will revolve around
junior Matt Featherston, who'll take over for
second-leading tackler Misi Tupe in the middle. While the 6-2,
235-pound junior isn't all that athletic and he isn't going to
show too much range, but he's a pure player who makes things
happen. A good run stuffer, he made 33 tackles last year, but
he's not going to do much when it comes to getting into the
Stepping in for Mark Dodge, who led the team with 117 tackles,
will be Garrick Williams on the strongside. The 6-2,
217-pound redshirt freshman went from being considered a top
backup to one of the team's new star defenders. While he's built
like a safety, he's tough and has a great ability to find the
way to the ball.
Starting on the weakside will be sophomore Von Miller, a
6-3, 214-pound speedster who has more ability than anyone in the
linebacking corps, but he has to turn into a playmaker both
against the pass and as a pass rusher. He'll be turned loose in
the more attacking scheme, after making 22 tackles and two sacks
with four tackles for loss, and he'll have to work through his
mistakes by being aggressive.
Projected Top Reserves: The strongside job was
supposed to go to Anthony Lewis before Williams turned
into a major prospect. Able to play inside or out, and likely
start out the season in the middle behind Featherston, he'll be
like a fourth starter as he moves in and out of the lineup. The
top recruit of a few years ago is 6-2, 254 pounds, and strong
against the run making 22 tackles last season.
6-1, 216-pound junior Will Harris has been a special
teams star and a defensive back, and now he'll work on the
strongside to get more speed and quickness into the corps. While
he's not big, he can move.
Watch Out For ... this to be the team's breakthrough
unit. After dealing with the read-and-react style of the old
coaching staff, this year's group will bring the noise and bring
the funk. There will be plenty of mistakes, but they'll be
flying all over the field.
Strength: Speed and quickness. By design, this
year's group will be full of very quick, very athletic
linebackers who'll fit the new style perfectly. This group is
the exact opposite of last year's corps.
Weakness: Sure things. There's a lot of promise
and plenty of potential but there are plenty of concerns
among the three starters, much less the backups. The coaching
staff is going to need a little while to mold this group.
Outlook: Defensive coordinator Joe Kines is a
linebacker coach who'll demand perfection out of his corps.
Unlike last year's big, lumbering threesome that was put
together to hold up against the run, this year's smallish,
lighter corps will be used to wreak havoc. It'll be a whole
bunch more fun, and the stats will be there, but this is still
the team's biggest question mark (even bigger than the O line).
Rating: 6
Defensive Backs
Projected Starters:
The corners struggled last year, but at least they return with
plenty of experience. The key will be the health of Danny
Gorrer, the 6-0, 173-pound senior who made 30 tackles and
broke up a pass before going down for the year with a knee
injury. While he missed all off-season, he's expected to be back
early this fall at close to 100% bring some of the best wheels
in the secondary.
On the other side will be junior Jordan Pugh, former
weakside defender, starting every game last year in a hybrid
role in the 4-2-5 alignment. While he was a great tackler,
making 90 stops, he was also one of the team's best pass
defenders breaking up six passes. At 5-11 and 191 pounds, he has
decent size and is physical.
One of the big changes this spring was moving junior Jordan
Peterson, after being inconsistent in coverage as a corner,
to free safety where he should be far better. The 5-10,
184-pounder is an excellent tackler, making 18 tackles with an
interception in the rotation, and now he should be one of the
team's best playmakers in a more natural position.
Working at strong safety will be senior Devin Gregg, the
starter in every game at free safety last season where he made
74 tackles with an interception and three broken up passes. A
strong veteran who'll be the leader of the defensive backfield,
he should be far better now that he can concentrate more on the
run and won't have to do quite as much when the ball is in the
air. Even though he's a phenomenal athlete, he's more of a
strong safety than a free safety.
Projected Top Reserves: 6-0, 174-pound
senior Arkeith Brown stepped in and started over the
second half of last season finishing with 51 tackles and eight
broken up passes. While he's a big-time athlete who'll see time
in several spots, he had problems against speed, deep-ball
receivers and he didn't come up with an interception. At worst,
he'll be a key nickel and dime defender.
Sure to be in the mix somewhere at some point is Alton
Dixon, the team's fourth leading tackler with 77 stops, two
sacks and five tackles for loss. Likely a backup at strong
safety, the 5-11, 197-pounder hits like a ton of bricks, but is
inconsistent in pass coverage.
One of the stars of spring ball was junior Chevar Bryson,
a 5-11, 182-pound special teamer who saw a little time on
defense making 16 tackles. A great hitter for his size, he'll
make a big push for one of the safety spots, possible strong
safety, and will see far more time as a defender.
Watch Out For ... a lot of shifting around.
Johnathan Baston moved from corner to free safety, Gorrer
might not be 100% until right before the start of the year, and
the strong safety job could be a revolving door with several
options to play around with.
Strength: Corner potential. They got no help
whatsoever last season from the pass rush, or the lack of one,
and now there should be more of a push from the front four.
Gorrer, Brown, Pugh, and Marcus Gold aren't good enough
to keep teams from throwing the ball, but they should grow into
a solid foursome.
Weakness: Interceptions. This has been a problem
for the last few seasons. There were only eight last year, and
four came from Marquis Carpenter, the one defensive back gone
from the mix. The corners have to do far more when the ball is
in the air.
Outlook: This was a decent secondary last season
that got little help from the rest of the defense. While there
aren't any all-stars, there's more experience here than anywhere
else on the defense and it should be one of the few areas the
coaching staff won't have to worry about too much. Now there has
to be more production in all phases.
Rating: 6.5
Special Teams
Projected Starters:
There should be a battle for the placekicking job with Matt
Szymanski returning after hissing 15 of 25 kicks. He
struggled with his consistency enough to allow senior Richie
Bean to step in and possibly be the new main man. With a
bigger leg, he should at least show more range.
One of the team's top players, and an All-America candidate, is
junior Justin Brantly, who led the Big 12's best punting
game netting 39.17 yards per boot. Brantly followed up a season
with a 44.3-yard average by bombing away again for 44.2 yards
per kick putting 16 inside the 20. He's a weapon who'll be a
godsend for field position.
Randle Jackson will take over the punt return duties, and
things can't be much worse after the Aggies averaged 5.4 yards
per try. Pierre Brown and E.J. Shankle will return
kickoffs as they take over for Kerry Franks. Brown averaged 21.5
yards per try, and the team average 23.5 yards per try.
Watch Out For ... Bean as the new placekicker. The
offense needs to know it can close of decent drives with points,
and Bean should be able to increase the overall range of the
kicking game.
Strength: Brantly. On the short list of top
options for the Ray Guy Award, he's arguably the team's best
defensive player because of what he can do to bail the offense
out of jams.
Weakness: Certainty at placekicker. The kicking
game didn't lose games for the Aggies last year, but it wasn't
much help. Someone has to step up and take the job.
Outlook: There are some fantastic parts, like the
punting and kickoff returns, mixed in with some sore areas, the
placekicking and punt returns, but the coaching staff is paying
special attention to the special teams and are making them a

13 States Adopting California Clean Car Standards Would Reap Significant Economic and Environmental Benefits
EPA approves waiver that would reduce tailpipe emissions and complement efforts to pass federal global warming bill
"Cleaner cars are a trifecta that will save families money at the gas pump, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and cut global warming pollution from tailpipes," said James Fine, economist and policy scientist at Environmental Defense Fund.

The new report, Saving Fuel, Saving Money, Saving Our Climate, compares automobile fleets under two scenarios for years 2010 through 2030. The first scenario is based on current and projected federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. The second scenario is based on implementation of
"This study shows that once these standards go into effect in these states, drivers will save billions of dollars, while dramatically reducing global warming pollution from tailpipes, one of the major sources of global warming pollution," said Fine.
The analysis features aggregate and state-specific results for the states that have already adopted the standards. Combined, the 13 states will avoid consuming 16 billion gallons of fuel in 2030, saving drivers
Low-income drivers will be hardest hit by rising fuel prices because they spend proportionately twice as much of household budgets on transportation compared to average drivers.(1) Consequently, this same group of drivers will benefit most from more efficient vehicles. We estimate that people driving 10-year-old cars in 2030 are expected to gain an annual net benefit of

The Saving Fuel, Saving Money, Saving Our Climate report analyzed automobile fleet data of 13 states using the VISION model developed by Argonne National Laboratory. The study compares fuel consumption and emissions for cars and light trucks in two scenarios based on vehicle fuel efficiency estimates developed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Estimates of net benefits are derived from subtracting annualized vehicle modification costs from estimates of avoided fuel costs.

It is a world of women, moving out from the hearth and home, towards the arenas of life `Sthree Sakthi,' an exhibition of photographs by photojournalist Razack Thazhathangadi at Contemporary Art Gallery at Durbar Hall Art Centre brings to life snapshots of women making breakthroughs in life.
Subtitled, `From the background to the centrestage,' the exhibition begins with images of women engaged in traditional household chores and moves on to women making path-breaking strides in life. There are images of women performing tasks traditionally regarded as male bastions, such as climbing coconut palms or masonry work.
There are images of women engaged in agitations and political campaigns; that of Rabiya who became the icon for female power despite her physical limitations; and many other women who have made their mark in various fields of human activity.
However, the highlight of the exhibition is a session devoted to the celebrated writer Kamala Surayya.

Features of Watch Phone:
The watch phone has existed in fictional stories since the 1950s, but some manufacturers only created the first concept watch phone in 1999. In 2009, some manufacturers launched the first marketed watch phone, which allows users to make and receive calls and check the time through a small gadget they wear around their wrist
- People can keep regular cell phones in bags or pockets, but watch phones often have more exposure to elements that could cause damage. As such, watch-phone screens often have an anti-scratch layer for protection. A watch phone's screen also has to display both the time and a phone dial pad, so it usually has a digital touch screen to fit the various details and buttons in the small space
- A user can listen to calls through the loud speaker and headset. Watch phones often have a text-to-speech feature, where the watch phone reads out the text on the screen. Some models also have microphones to support a voice-recognition feature, which allows the user to enter voice commands. Depending on the model, the user might also be able to record voices and create voice memos
- A watch phone usually comes with a cable that lets the user connect it to another device such as a computer or a regular telephone. Watch phones often also connect wirelessly to a headset or to other devices via Bluetooth. Some models can connect to the Internet so the user can check their emails while on the go
- A watch phone often has a camera for taking pictures and making video calls. Some models also function as a music player that plays MP3 files through a loud speaker or a headset and a video player that displays MP4 videos on the screen. The user can usually store music and video files on the watch phone

After being told he wasn't going to make the Opening Day roster, infielder Donnie Murphy exercised an out clause in his contract Wednesday and was granted his release by the Milwaukee Brewers. Signed as a minor league free agent in December, Murphy was competing for a spot on Milwaukee's bench as a utility player, but he saw his chances at a roster spot end when the Brewers signed infielder Yuniesky Betancourt on Tuesday. Murphy, 30, hit .239 with two home runs and six RBI in 46 spring training at-bats. The Brewers were trying to get the veteran infielder experience in the outfield during camp to expand his versatility. Spending the last three years of his career with the Marlins organization, Murphy hit .216 with three home runs and 12 RBI for Miami in 2012. Known more for his glove than his bat, Murphy has made just three errors in the past two seasons. He has hit .205 with 18 home runs and 82 RBI in his seven-year big league career with Kansas City, Oakland and Miami. Follow And...

Chad Durbin is back in a Phillies uniform, something he is familiar with having spent 3 seasons in Philly earlier in his career (2008-2010). The 35 year old right-handed reliever is durable, making 56+ appearance in each of the last 5 seasons. Last year with the Braves he appeared in a career high 76 games and turned a 3.10 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. Durbin has had success since converting from starting pitcher to reliever. He's a welcome veteran addition to a mostly youthful bullpen, and at the price of 1 year/$1.1M, it's cost effective as well.Amaro also added utility infielder Yuniesky Betancourt on a minor league deal. The Cuban defector is set to turn 31 years old on Thursday. He's spent parts of his career in Seattle, Kansas City, and Milwaukee. He's a .266/.682 hitter with moderate pop in his bat, but very slow afoot. His defense is much maligned, but when he does get to the balls, he usually makes the plays (combined .970 FLD% at 2B, SS, and 3rd). No reason to get really ex...

PRLog - Dec. 6, 2012 - LIVONIA, Mich. -- Detroit, MI – Salon and Spa owner, Gary Towns is proud of his status as the provider of medical massage therapy in the city of Detroit.
Prenatal Massage Therapy Detroit
"Whether my medical massage therapists focus on a patient's feet, hands, scalp, or entire body," explained Towns, "the massage therapy can be both wonderfully relaxing and clinically effective."
Pre-natal massage therapy is also one of the therapies most readily accepted by conventional medical doctors and hospital administrators.
Research demonstrates that medical massage therapy can offer a variety of healthful benefits, especially for people with significant stress or anxiety, strained muscles, or osteoarthritis.
Massage therapy can also enhance immune function, increase circulation while reducing heart rate and blood pressure, boost levels of endorphins and serotonin (the body's natural painkillers and mood regulators), and reduce stress hormone levels, all while easing sore and achy muscles.
Problems with tension headaches, back or neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis, fibromyalgia, can be an enjoyable way to help reduce or even eliminate associated back and neck pain. During pregnancy stress levels are reduced. Other benefits include a reduction of pain associated with labor, preemies may gain weight faster, and children with asthma may breathe easier when massaged.

Our shelter uses these for pet adoptions, to set up outside. Very easy to clean, the bottom tray just sides out. While in transport to and from, they fold nearly flat.
Pros: Fold to small size
Cons: Latch needs to be oiled

Rabid fans pay homage to Depeche Mode
By Darryl Morden
SAN DIEGO (Hollywood Reporter) – Depeche Mode turns moody
introspection into communal celebration, which has earned the
veteran English band a rabidly obsessive following that filled
San Diego's ipayOne Center on Saturday for the first of four
southern California shows.
Along with the Cure, the band is now second-generation
classic alt-rock, Britpop division, yet remains a creative
force with its electronic-based, atmospheric, beat-laden songs.
A futuristic yet sparse stage setting reflected the band's
sounds, with a trio of gleaming oval keyboards dotting the
Lead singer Dave Gahan wielded the microphone stand like a
staff, and when he would launch into a mad twirl, the crowd
went wild. He started the evening in a sport coat that quickly
came off to reveal a black vest that was soon unbuttoned and
later removed, to delighted female howls.
Chief musical architect Martin Gore was dressed in black
with wings. The garb seemed to say, contrary to the title of
the band's latest album, "Playing the Angel," that such
attempts at heavenly ascendance are a sham.
While hardly the traditional guitar hero, Gore is a
distinctive stylist; his reverberating lines of embellishment,
pinging riffs and melodramatic framing belay any notions that
this is just a synth group. As usual, third member Andy
Fletcher remained in the rear at the keyboards with a tour
keyboardist and drummer.
The show led off with the new confessional throb "A Pain
That I'm Used To," followed by the crackling electro-blues of
"John the Revelator." Most of the arena remained on its feet
all night, even during the slower ballads.
A blend of the new and old ranged from the exotic
invitation of "World in My Eyes" to the more accusatory and
challenging "Walking in My Shoes" and the current single
"Precious," acknowledging the fragile heart and said to be the
product of Gore's divorce.
The new album marks the first time in the band's 25-year
history that Gahan has contributed material, and he was clearly
beside himself to be singing the songs live, especially the
passionately bittersweet "Suffer Well."
Gore took the spotlight for a pair of tunes that included
the poignant longings of "Home," as a massive metallic sphere
dangling above the band flashed the song's title in various
Momentum took a dip with some lackluster midset numbers.
But the Autobahn pulse of "Behind the Wheel" set off a series
of sheer crowd-pleasers, with boisterous audience
call-and-response in the refrains of the stomping "Personal
Jesus" and the group's epic "Enjoy the Silence."
Two rounds of encores included the rising swell of
"Everything Counts," with fan voices loud for the chorus; hands
waved across the arena for "Never Let Me Down Again."
More than a decade ago, Depeche Mode released an album
called "Songs of Faith and Devotion." But this night was more
about trials survived and absolution found on one's own terms.
The group kicked off a two-night stand at the Staples
Center in Los Angeles Monday, and was due to play the Arrowhead
Pond of Anaheim on Wednesday.

BANGALORE: Worried over shortcomings in product support from BAE systems, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), issues over maintenance and a price considered too steep, the Indian Air Force (IAF) appears reluctant to go ahead with the follow-on order for the Hawk trainer.
The IAF, through a $1.75-billion contract signed in March 2004, is receiving 66 Hawk Mk 132 advanced jet trainers. Of these, BAE Systems has supplied 24 in direct supply mode, while the remaining 42 are being assembled from semi knocked down and completely knocked down kits — progressively using indigenous components — at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Bangalore. HAL is contracted to assemble all the 42 Hawks by 2011. The aircraft entered service at Air Force Station Bidar, Karnataka, in February 2008.
In January 2008, the IAF prevailed upon the government to allow it go in for a further batch of 57 Hawks, with 17 of them being for the Navy. But the IAF now appears to have apprehensions over the follow-on order. The aircraft in the follow-on order were to have been indigenously assembled by HAL, with product and technical support from the OEM.
Highly placed sources told The Hindu that the slow pace of deliveries from HAL, tardy product support from BAE Systems and poor serviceability had led to the IAF's rethink.
The IAF which had to pull out all stops before BAE Systems rectified a number of technical and spares-related issues especially on the initial batch of Hawks, is also worried over the price being quoted by HAL for the follow-on order. HAL officials said the company had indicated the prices taking into effect inputs on spares, technical help and product support from OEMs BAE Systems and Rolls Royce (for the engine).
Refusing to comment on the price issue, a spokesperson for BAE Systems said that all the pricing details had been provided to HAL. Commenting on problems over spares for the direct supply of Hawks, he said BAE Systems had "delivered all the spares that had been contracted for."
The IAF would like HAL to indigenously develop an AJT, a natural follow on to the Intermediate Jet Trainer that is being built.
At Aero India 2009 here, M. Natarajan, Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister, also announced the development of a lead-in-fighter-trainer quite similar to South Korea's T-50 Golden Eagle. He told The Hindu that the trainer which will be a derivative of the Light Combat Aircraft Tejas would be far superior to the Hawk and could be flying in five to six years.
The Hawks allow trainee pilots to make the transition from flying sub sonic to super sonic aircraft and are being used by the IAF for its fighter training programme.

I was wondering if any other mothers used the post partum belly bands and your opinion on them .Call me vain but before i got pregnant I had washboard abs and REALLY REALLY want that back again, or as close to it as I can get. I have been dealing with polyhydramnios, so Im worried Im really stretched out ( luckily though, knock on wood, no stretch marks yet....). Any brands you recommend? Anyone notice a difference?
I was looking at this one because it was on Tyra's show on "What they dont tell you about the first year after baby" . They featured this one:
If anything, Im thinking it will help me mentally..... hopefully my torso to knee spanx still fit.....
Active self employed momma to my amazing son with down syndrome born 8/24/11, wife to the most amazing husband ever, expecting baby #2 on September 5th, 2012, exactly 1 year from my sons original due date. Currently sharing our crazy household with 1 house rabbit, 3 exotic lizards, 1 guinea pig...
i got one of eBay much cheaper, and it looks like it will be great, although i wasn't sure if it would fit me right away. so i bought another stretchier Jolly Jumper one at Walmart that will work until the other one fits. :)
Robyn - In with Tyson, Gothy Mama to Jasmyn (March 12 2003), Grayson (August 2 2005), my Aurora Hope (m/c Nov 10 2010), and Sydney Rayne (September 17 2011) x3
I didn't use a belly band with my first daughter, but I suggest you go to amazon.com. It's the best place to start to get a lot of input and reviews from moms who have tried different types of bands.
I'm sure there are some good products out there just for this purpose, but I used a wide, 6 ft long Ace bandage starting just a day or two after birth and it worked so well. My tummy went back to being flat really quickly and then once I was able to start exercising in earnest I was able to get my muscle tone back. My midwife was pretty adamant that I do this (along with spending the first week postpartum in or around the bed and the second week at home) to get all my internal organs back to their proper place and help my stomach muscles recover as they had separated some.
I've heard great things and plan to get one... In fact, I was shopping for one online and discovered they also sell ones that wrap your hips to "return them to size." ??? I mean, obviously you can't wear BOTH, right?
What I have heard about the belly ones is that it really isn't just vanity - it's great support for your stretched muscles and helps you keep good posture/avoid a sore back when breastfeeding. So if it comes down to belly band vs. hip band, I know which i would choose. I'd just never heard of the hip bands before. Anyone else?
for cosmetic or health reasons?
I used our snuggly wrap starting a week post partum. It's actually the perfect width (although a little long) if you're wanting to help your tummy and hips go down to size gradually it's important you wrap from an inch or two under your breasts to about midway down your butt. The entire area needs to be supported - you're trying to support your organs etc that your stretched out abs can't help anymore.
I wrapped twice a day and slathered EVO mixed with ylang ylang on my tummy, thighs, butt. I got back into pre-prego state fairly quickly. Walking around without feeling like I needed to hold my 'gut' helped. and as PP said, it definitely helped with breastfeeding posture.
You want it snug enough to feel like your posture is superb!
I say go with a cotton piece of cloth with just a little stretch - like any babywearing wrap.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
covert crunchy wife to & mama to DS02/11. Dreaming of travelling the as soon as we catch up on some
I bought the Brooke Burke one this time, I didn't use one with my first, didn't even know they existed. I found with nursing I actually felt somewhat comfortable being back in a bikini at 4 months postpartum, so things actually do go back quite quickly on their own. Still I think the added support is a good thing, and my midwives agreed that they can be helpful, not necessary, but helpful.
I got the Shrinkx hips hip binder, and the motherhood brand of belly binder. It's really soft and breathable, and looks like it will fit nicely:)
Jenny - wife to one great guy, mama to three babies, with #4 due in January 2015!
@LadyJennifer, do you think you will/can wear both the Shrinkx and the belly binder at the same time? Those are the two i was looking at. I'm not sure how much hardware I can get tucked into!!
Planning on it! the hip thing goes around your hips a bit lower, whereas the belly binder is just around the abdoman. I somewhat tried them on, and it should work!:)

2003 BEST Fenway/Kenmore Restaurant, Neighborhood
Audubon Circle
In a neighborhood that's more about hot dogs than haute cuisine, it can be hard to get a decent meal. That's where Audubon Circle comes in. This darkly lit, sleekly cool restaurant with the long slate bar has a small but satisfying menu of dressed-up pub grub, from the downright delicious burger with spicy home fries to the rare seared tuna with garlic mashed potatoes. The legendary pot stickers (dumplings and steamed vegetables served in a paper takeout container) can provoke food fights—over who gets the last bite. And thanks to the expertly mixed drinks and ample supply of local and national beers on tap, there's plenty to please diners and drinkers who long for more than the watered-down suds at Fenway.

The international monetary system has been in need of fundamental reform. It is dominated by dollar holdings, with the American currency remaining the world's principal reserve currency as well as the most widely used in private transactions. The dollar, which faced many challenges, has remained supreme mainly for want of an alternative. A recent G20 seminar held in Nanjing, China, ended without any consensus on international monetary reform. The stasis is unfortunate. The system may not have caused the recent global imbalances or current instability in the global economy, but it has certainly been ineffective in addressing them. First, it has created a global recessionary bias both during and after financial crises. Secondly, there is a certain amount of tension in using a national currency as a reserve. The U.S. has been running huge budgetary and current account deficits. Should it succeed in reining in the deficits, global liquidity would shrink. Thirdly, the system has encouraged large dollar accumulations by several countries by way of "self-insurance" against future crisis. The very large dollar holdings by China and some other countries have added to global imbalances.
Various attempts at identifying alternative reserve currencies have floundered. The euro seemed promising at one time but the current debt problems in some euro zone countries have raised doubts over its long term suitability. Given the strength of China, the yuan is bound to become an important reserve currency in course of time, freely convertible and with an exchange rate mirroring its growing clout. Some out-of-the-box solutions are required. Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz has, in a recent article in the Financial Times, suggested that the SDRs issued by the International Monetary Fund should play a greater role in the international monetary system. SDRs, which are strictly the IMF's unit of account, represent a potential claim on other countries' freely usable currency reserves, for which they can be exchanged voluntarily. The specific proposal is to issue a significant amount (up to $390 billion) of new SDRs every year for the next three years. Central banks can exchange the SDRs for hard currency and use it to finance imports. The inherent recessionary bias in the existing system is thus avoided. Being relatively small, the new issues will not accentuate global imbalances. The effectiveness of the SDRs ought to be enhanced through a variety of measures, which are inextricably linked to IMF reform. The medium-term goal is to make SDRs the main, or even the only, means of IMF financing. The dollar's pre-eminence in private trade and remittances will remain unaffected.

FORT WORTH The rolling blackouts were supposed to last less than a hour at a time, but for some it was much longer.
The Munson family of Fort Worth was very concerned because electricity is neededto keep their daughter safe.
They had to dress in their coats and hoodies to stay inside their home. Their conversation centered on how cold the weather was outside.
We have total electric, said Angela Munson. No fireplace. That means we don't have any means of heat right now.
The power shut off before 7 a.m. on Wednesday. It flickered on once and the meter hasn't moved since.
Eleven-year-old Alegna Munson worries about her asthma. She needs to use an electric nebulizer when her chest gets cold.
I start wheezing and coughing, and I have to take a treatment, she said.
The Munson family was not the only one concerned. The entire neighborhood was worried.
Around lunchtime, there was a steady stream of cars that tried to leave the neighborhood to find a place warmer than their homes. Most of them headed to stay with relatives. Others went to the local coffee shop.
We talked to her parents in Duncanville, and they told them it would be 15 minutes, said Barrett Shaw. It's been six hours.
The Munsons stopped short of blaming the Super Bowl. They wonder about their utilities' priorities when it comes to power for football and families.
I'm a fan, said Paul Munson, Alegna's dad. The least they can do is give me some electricity.
For now, the Munsonsjust want to know when the power will come back -- or if another blackout is in the cards.

Do we really need a Metal Gear Solid movie?
So, there are plans to make a movie based on a video game that draws an insane amount of inspiration from cheesy 80s action movies. Now, while the previous sentence was an absurd simplification of Kojima Productions and Konami's Metal Gear Solid series of games, it isn't particularly far from the truth. If you're a fan of the series, you'll know that complex conspiracy theory-laden plots, overarching storylines, near-future technology and a healthy dose of 80s action movie campiness all go hand in hand, often combining rather well to deliver an almost sublime gaming experience (in MGS' case, always). But is there room (in a literal sense) for all of that in cinema? Well, the answer to that question is a resounding "probably not".
Forget the bigger picture for a minute, however. The real concern for us gamers is not whether the premise of the game will work in a film format, but whether we should be forced to endure the inevitable simplification of the aforementioned complexities of MGS as we know it. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots alone had over 10-hours of "film" content — non-interactive cinematic moments gorgeously rendered in its game engine (which also included a crazy 45-minute ending cutscene). The previous games featured a substantial amount of non-interactive footage as well — not quite as boast-worthy as Guns of the Patriots, but stuff of legend that series fan-boys still get teary-eyed during conversations (MGS 3's ending is a particularly adept tear jerker). What I'm basically getting at is this: there's nothing Hollywood can do that the creators of Metal Gear Solid can't do better — even from a filmmaking standpoint. Why? This is because game-to-film adaptations are not directed by critically-acclaimed filmmakers. Let's just say gentlemen like Chris Nolan, Marty Scorcese and Steven Soderbergh are less likely to be involved than Uwe Boll (Bloodrayne, Far Cry, Dungeon Siege), Christophe Gans (Silent Hill), Paul WS Anderson (Resident Evil, Dead or Alive), Xavier Gens (Hitman) or umm, Michael Bay (every film with a budget exceeding $200 million). No disrespect to the latter group of directors — their movies appeal to different audiences; it's just that they will simply not fit the bill for this particular project, and studios will be oblivious to this fact. Besides, would you rather have a mediocre action film than no film at all?
Casting will prove to be a particularly controversial talking point as well. For instance, there were talks of Sony making an Uncharted movie a while back, and Mark Wahlberg was a favourite to play Nathan Drake. Gamers (and general all-round geeks) all knew Nathan Fillion should have landed that job, right? Fortunately, the project never saw the light of day, but it almost seems as if they're serious this time around. And that brings us to the toughest, most thankless task in the world of entertainment: fan service. How much do you really think they can cram into 90-or-so minutes of footage? Will we see the outrageous villains in their equally outrageous outfits spouting campy dialogue? What about Snake's incredibly convincing disguise (I'm talking about the cardboard box, of course)? The exclamation marks over guards' heads, surely? What about the long bro-mantic conversations between Snake and Otacon? Will we see meta-game (or meta-film, in this case) allusions to Blu-Ray discs and swapping controller ports? Pretty unlikely, don't you think? Let's just hope it's not a generic action flick. We can go see The Expendables 3 instead and hope that Kurt Russell (the original Snake) changes his mind about doing an ensemble film.

Pennsylvania DCNR to Begin Collecting Seismic Data During Second Week of August
Findings Could Help Find Sites Where Carbon Dioxide Could be Stored Underground
HARRISBURG, Pa., July 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — To comply with a 2008 law that directed the state to investigate the viability of storing carbon dioxide underground, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will begin collecting seismic data in Indiana and Westmoreland counties during the second week of August.
"Our initial review of data already available showed that four geologic formations that underlie most of the state show potential for storing carbon underground," acting Secretary John Quigley said. "Collecting more detailed seismic information will give us a clearer picture of what lies beneath the ground to help us further refine the geologic formations that might be suitable to safely and permanently store carbon dioxide."
Sequestering carbon dioxide in geologic formations is one option in addressing pollution that contributes to global warming.
Seismic data are generated by using vibrations to capture a two-dimensional picture of the rock layers beneath the surface. Interpretation of the data will allow scientists to estimate the type of material, its structure and its depth below the surface.
"Our schedule for beginning seismic data collection will begin in Indiana and Westmoreland counties, move to Schuylkill County and then on to the Lancaster area," Quigley said. "We also are acquiring some already existing seismic data for Lackawanna, Lycoming, Monroe and Wyoming counties."
Collection of the data involves a few large trucks with "thumper" devices traveling slowly along public roadways. When they thump the ground, specialized equipment records the energy reflected back to the surface by the underlying geologic features.
In Indiana County, the trucks will work along roads in Armstrong, Blacklick, Center, Conemaugh and Young townships, and in Derry and Loyalhanna townships in Westmoreland County. The routes in Schuylkill and Lancaster counties are still being finalized. The work is expected to be conducted in those counties in September.
DCNR's Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey will oversee the project, with the field work to be performed by ARM Geophysics of Hershey.
DCNR is notifying citizens and officials in affected communities by letter weeks before the data collection begins.
A map of the areas that will be evaluated is a part of a fact sheet on seismic data collection on the DCNR website at www.dcnr.state.pa.us, choose "Carbon Sequestration" under "Hot Topics."
In May, DCNR submitted a 149-page report to the Governor and General Assembly that contained detailed and technical information about the state's geology. The report found that four potential geologic formations could be candidates for sequestration in the western and north central regions, although these formations are known to underlie most areas of the state.
A carbon sequestration network would involve first capturing carbon dioxide from coal-fired electricity generating plants and other industrial sources. It would then be compressed into a liquid and cooled, and transported through pipelines to a sequestration site, where it would be injected into the rock formations or other suitable geologic features deep beneath the surface.
Detailed site evaluations involving several years of advanced scientific study would need to be performed at specific locations to make a final determination about whether they are suitable. Suitable formations have alternating layers of rocks of different types, some of which form barriers that prevent the stored carbon dioxide from moving upward.
"Because this intensive scientific work needs to be conducted with the highest degree of care, DCNR has formed a Science Advisory Committee composed of more than a dozen nationally-recognized experts in various aspects of the geologic storage of carbon dioxide," Quigley said.
With representatives from Penn State University; the Kentucky, Illinois, and Texas Geological surveys; University of Regina (Canada); University of Pittsburgh; the U. S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory; West Virginia University; Carnegie Mellon University; and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the committee will bring diverse areas of expertise to bear on the DCNR's technical assessments.
"All indications are we will continue to rely on burning coal to produce electricity for the foreseeable future, so we need to do that in the cleanest way possible," Quigley said. "Storing carbon dioxide underground can help us achieve that goal."

In an effort to reduce insurance rates across the province, the government plans to amend the Insurance Act. In the new 2015 budget, notable amendments include:
· Catastrophic limits changed to $1 million combined for medical/rehabilitation and Attendant Care (reduced from $2 million to $1 million). Attendant Care was not included in medical/rehabilitation benefits before.
· Medical/rehabilitation and Attendant Care benefits for non-Catastrophic injuries are to be combined totaling $65,000 (reduced from $86,000 to $65,000)
· Medical/rehabilitation benefits for non-Catastrophic injuries limited to 5 years instead of 10 years
· The $30,000 deductible is to increase with inflation (to $36,750)
· The 6 month waiting period for non-earner benefits is eliminated, but the non-earner benefits will only be available for 2 years.
· The $100,000 monetary threshold will increase with inflation
· An update to the 'catastrophic impairment' definition consistent with more up-to-date medical information and knowledge to reflect modern medicine
The amendments can be found on the Ontario Ministry of Finance website:
It is difficult to say what effect, if any, this will have on insurance premiums. The one thing that is certain is that the insurance coverage and benefits currently available for catastrophic injury' and 'non-catastrophic' injuries are being chiselled away. This is not the first time Ontario Accident Benefits have been reduced. This will undoubtedly reduce the amount of benefits our clients are entitled to receive and may ultimately affect their recovery. For example, an individual suffering from non-catastrophic injuries, which by definition may include a broken ankle, femur, wrist, etc., will be impacted by these changes since the individual will now only be entitled to receive 5 years of medical and rehabilitation benefits as opposed to 10 years. As another example, a 45 year labourer who breaks both ankles and his or her femur (or any other serious injury deemed to be non-catastrophic) will now only receive medical and rehabilitation benefits for 5 years. This would be particularly troubling if this labourer is required to lift, crouch and stand for prolonged periods of time causing a strain on existing injuries. In such a situation the injured individual will often require extensive rehabilitation benefits for periods exceeding five years, should his or her injuries linger, prolonging recovery. With these amendments we will certainly encounter an increasing number of individuals who will have to incur the expense of their treatments out of their own pockets. The same can be said for catastrophic injuries.
As Ottawa personal injury lawyers, we find these changes will benefit the insurance companies and not the people who really need the money to rebuild their lives with serious and permanent injuries. There seems to be more and more cut backs to benefits and what the insurance company has to pay out and very little in reductions. To be adequately covered, people will have to buy more and more additional coverage and pay more for insurance, just to receive the benefits they once had. This has got to stop.
Our personal injury team is proud to announce that David Hollingsworth, Personal Injury Lawyers received the Consumer Choice Award for Personal Injury Lawyer in Ottawa for 2015.

Dating and Hooking up on Campus: Meeting Context, Sexual Activities, and Variation by Gender, Partner's Gender and Class Standing. (With Joseph Padgett)
Abstract: This study examined 13,976 dates and 12,068 hookup encounters at 22
colleges in the United States reported by students surveyed between 2005
and 2011 in the Online College Social Life Survey (OCSLS) to determine
differences between dates and hookups in partner meeting context and sex
during the encounter. Students most often met date and hookup partners
through institutional settings or bars and parties, with approximately
two-thirds of partners met in these venues. Those who had fewer
potential partners on campus (women) were less likely to find partners
in campus locations and less likely to find male sexual or dating
partners but more likely to date women. Men and women engaging in
same-sex encounters had higher rates of meeting partners through
Internet sources. Hookups were associated with partners met in bars,
parties, nightclubs, and college dormitories, and were twice as likely
as dates to include sex. Students were more likely to go on dates with
partners met on the Internet, which we theorize is a result of low
levels of trust associated with that context. Patterns found are related
to the association of meeting contexts with hookup scripts, risk and
trust, and local partnering markets.
Harknett, Kristen and Arielle Kuperberg. 2011. "Education, Labor Markets and the Retreat from Marriage." Social Forces. 90(1): 41-63
Abstract: Using
data from the Fragile Families study and Current Population Surveys,
we find that labor market conditions play a large role in explaining
the positive relationship between educational attainment and
marriage. Our results suggest that if low-educated parents faced the
same (stronger) labor market conditions as their more-educated
counterparts, then differences in marriage by education would narrow
considerably. Better labor markets are positively related to
marriage for fathers at all educational levels. In contrast, better
labor markets are positively related to marriage for less-educated
mothers but not their more-educated counterparts. We discuss the
implications of our findings for theories about women's earning
power and marriage, the current economic recession, and future
studies of differences in family structure across education groups
Kuperberg, Arielle. 2009. "Motherhood and graduate education, 1970-2000"
This study examines issues related to the fertility of graduate
students over time. First, it examines changes in motherhood rates
between 1970 and 2000 among women aged 20-49 who are enrolled in
graduate school, both by themselves and relative to prevailing trends
among women not enrolled in graduate school, and to other college
educated women. Overall, women enrolled in graduate school are
increasingly likely to be mothers of young children, and are
increasingly similar to non-graduate students. Second, it examines
the timing of these births, and finds that almost half of births occur
while women are enrolled in graduate school. Third, a brief review of
current maternity leave policies and childcare options available to
graduate students is presented. Results are discussed in terms of
institutional changes within academia, changes between cohorts that
attended graduate school in these decades, and the policy needs of
graduate student mothers.
Kuperberg, Arielle and Pamela Stone. 2008. "The Media Depiction of Women Who Opt Out"
Abstract: Through a content analysis of print media and a comparison of media images with trends in women's behavior, the authors explore the rhetoric and reality surrounding the exit of college-educated women from the workforce to become full-time mothers, a phenomenon that has been dubbed "opting out." The major imagery surrounding opting out emphasizes motherhood and family, elites, and choice. A close reading reveals some inconsistencies that counter the prevailing positive depiction. The authors also find that media coverage of opting out appears in leading publications reaching large and diverse audiences. A comparison of articles' themes against actual trends in women's opting-out behavior shows that there is a disjuncture between the two. The authors discuss the implications of these results for the dissemination of a new feminine mystique.
Stone, Pamela and Arielle Kuperberg. 2005.
"Anti-Discrimination vs. Anti-Poverty: An
Analysis of Pay Equity and Living Wage Reforms."
Abstract: Welfare reform focuses attention on the potential of pay equity and
living wage strategies to move women out of the ranks of the working
poor. In this study, we use data from a large municipality in the
Northeast to simulate implementation of the two policies and compare
their relative effectiveness in raising the earnings of female- and
minority-dominated jobs, narrowing gender- and race-based earnings
differentials, and lifting workers out of poverty. Results show that
pay equity raises salaries across-the-board, but especially among
low-skilled and minority-dominated jobs, and closes the wage gap. Both
pay equity and living wage dramatically reduce the incidence of
poverty; living wage, however, leaves virtually untouched the type of
discrimination targeted by pay equity and has little impact on the wage
gap. The implications of these results for addressing the needs of
women transitioning off public assistance and wage justice are
discussed. We conclude that both policies should be an integral part of
welfare reform efforts, as well as key planks in an overall wage
justice strategy.
