Lunch time here, and as usual, The Bear was all set to get a jar of Earth's Best baby food. He's been eating this stuff since he was six months old. Of course he's still getting breast milk, and now real finger foods, but when I resort to a prepared jar of mush, it's always Earth's Best.
Now here's a news alert from the FDA to give me pause…Earth's Best is recalling jars of Wholesome Breakfast Apple Peach Barley 2nd Foods. There's a possibility that there could be botulism in the jars. No one has gotten sick, and they haven't actually found contamination (only incorrect pH levels), but the company isn't taking any chances. If you have a jar, throw it away. Click here to read the company press release for more details.
I'm not going to abandon Earth's Best just yet. But I will make sure I don't have any jars of this particular flavor. And, as I always tell the kids, let's make sure the jar makes a "pop" noise before we eat anything.

Earth's Best Recall- Apple Peach Barley
Lunch time here, and as usual, The Bear was all set to get a jar of Earth's Best baby food. He's been eating this stuff since he was six months old. Of course he's still getting breast milk, and now real finger foods, but when I resort to a prepared jar of mush, it's always Earth's Best.
New York City Mayor Promotes Breast Feeding
Go Mayor Mike! I always knew I sort of liked you, even though you are a Republican. But now I think you've won me over.
The New York Post is reporting that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is spending more than $2 million to get city run hospitals to promote breastfeeding.
"We don't yet have any hospitals in New York City that meet national 'baby-friendly' standards," Bloomberg's health commissioner, Dr. Thomas Frieden, said at a parenting conference last week.
"That means getting formula out of the nursery. It means putting the baby on the breast immediately after birth. It means that every person who interacts with that mother and child is supportive and encouraging of breast-feeding."
According to the Post, Deborah Kaplan, chief of the Health Department's Bureau of Maternal, Infant and Reproductive Health, says the days of hospital goody bags filled with formula freebies are over. Hospitals will now give new moms ice packs to keep pumped breast milk fresh.
The Gothamist covered this one as well.
The man who doesn't want you to smoke in City bars or clog your coronaries with sweet, sweet trans fats now wants to do something healthy for the tiniest and newest New Yorkers…City health commissioner, Thomas Frieden, wants babies to dine on nothing but their mothers' breast milk for the first six months of life. Right now, about 75% of New York mommies breast feed their babies but nearly 40% stop before the six month mark.
It's nice to see a politician promote breastfeeding.
Oh, and by the way, it seems fitting that we can say Happy Birthday to you too, Mayor Mike.
Consumer Reports Recalls Its Own Report On Infant Car Seats
Consumer Reports has always been my Bible. I would never buy a car or a children's product without first checking what CR has to say.
Well today, my faith in CR is shot. They've withdrawn the scathing story they published earlier this month about infant car seats. It seems there was a big mistake in the report. The report claimed CR tested the car seats at a certain speed, 38 m.p.h, when in fact it was closer to 70 m.p.h according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
CR is backpedaling furiously. If you try to find that original story on its site, it is gone. Gone. Completely gone. I wrote a post about the original report. And now, when I click on the links in that post that are supposed to take me to the study, I'm directed instead to today's press release.
Here's a quote from that orginal study:
Cars and car seats can't be sold unless they can withstand a 30-mph frontal crash. But most cars are also tested in a 35-mph frontal crash and in a 38-mph side crash. Car seats aren't.
When we crash-tested infant car seats at the higher speeds vehicles routinely withstand, most failed disastrously. The car seats twisted violently or flew off their bases, in one case hurling a test dummy 30 feet across the lab. Here are the details:
Of 12 infant seats we tested, only 2 performed well: the Baby Trend Flex-Loc and the Graco SnugRide with EPS.
Nine infant seats provided poor protection in some or all of our tests, even though they meet the federal safety standard. One seat, the Evenflo Discovery, didn't even meet that standard. We urge federal officials to order a recall of that seat.
Here's what CR is saying today:
Consumer Reports is withdrawing its recent report on infant car seats pending further tests of the performance of those seats in side-impact collisions.
A new report will be published with any necessary revisions as soon as possible after the new tests are complete.
We withdrew the report immediately upon discovering a substantive issue that may have affected the original test results. The issue came to light based on new information received Tuesday night and Wednesday morning from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concerning the speed at which our side-impact tests were conducted.
For a minute now, let's put aside the colossal error CR seems to have made and look at the bigger picture. If these seats were actually tested at 70 m.p.h, and they "failed disastrously," then maybe the seats really are dangerous. Honestly, don't most of us drive on highways from time to time? If so, we're not going 38 m.p.h., that's for sure.
In which case, maybe it's NHTSA which should come under a bit of scrutiny here. According to the New York Times, NHTSA only requires car seats to pass a test at 30 m.p.h.
The federal government requires that the seats protect babies in front impacts of 30 m.p.h. The highway traffic safety agency said it was trying to develop a side-impact standard. It rates cars under a New Car Assessment Program, which it uses to award "stars" to each model, and those are done at 38 m.p.h. for side impact.
So, while I'm disappointed in Consumer Reports, I do think there may just be a kernel worth hanging on to in their report. Moms and dads, check out their original study, it's worth considering.
Infant Car Seat Ratings
This is not a story about breast feeding. But it is a story that every parent of an infant should read. It's about car seat safety.
Consumer Reports just released a new study of infant car seats. The tests subjected the seats to the same collision tests required for cars, and the results were downright frightening. (If you want a real scare, watch the video on the Consumer Reports site).
For ratings of all the seats tested, click here. Now here's a quote from the story.
Cars and car seats can't be sold unless they can withstand a 30-mph frontal crash. But most cars are also tested in a 35-mph frontal crash and in a 38-mph side crash. Car seats aren't.
When we crash-tested infant car seats at the higher speeds vehicles routinely withstand, most failed disastrously. The car seats twisted violently or flew off their bases, in one case hurling a test dummy 30 feet across the lab. Here are the details:
Of 12 infant seats we tested, only 2 performed well: the Baby Trend Flex-Loc and the Graco SnugRide with EPS.
Nine infant seats provided poor protection in some or all of our tests, even though they meet the federal safety standard. One seat, the Evenflo Discovery, didn't even meet that standard. We urge federal officials to order a recall of that seat.
Infant car seats sold in Europe undergo more rigorous testing than do models sold in the U.S. Indeed, when we crash-tested an infant seat we bought in England, it was the best in our tests. An infant seat sold in the U.S. by the same manufacturer failed. (See European models.)
Our findings offer added evidence of problems with LATCH, the federally mandated attachment system for child car seats. Most car seats performed worse with LATCH than with vehicle safety belts. And LATCH attachments aren't always easy to use.
So here's what Consumer Reports recommends you do:
Consumers Union, the nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports, strongly believes that NHTSA should strengthen safety testing for car seats so that it is comparable with the tests conducted on new cars. That means including a side-crash test. If the New Car Assessment Program is any indication, crash performance improves when results are publicized.
The agency also needs to revisit the LATCH standard. Automakers should make anchors and tethers easy to access. And LATCH anchors should be required in center-rear seats.
For now, here's how to keep your baby as safe as possible while traveling:
If you're shopping for an infant car seat, buy one of the two we recommend. (See the Ratings.)
If you already own a Chicco KeyFit, Compass I410, Evenflo Embrace, or Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP, use it with vehicle safety belts, which passed our tests, not with LATCH, which didn't. If you can't get a tight fit with the safety belt, buy one of the two seats we recommend.
If you own a different infant seat, consider replacing it with the Baby Trend Flex-Loc or the Graco SnugRide with EPS.
Secure your child in the center-rear seat if the car seat can be tightly fastened there. Go to www.nhtsa.gov to find a free car-seat inspection station near you.
Send in the registration card that comes with new car seats, so that the manufacturer can contact you if the seat is recalled.
Remember that any child car seat is better than no seat at all.
Now, for the responses to this story: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had already admitted that the LATCH system was confusing to parents. Interestingly, The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association has questioned the results of the Consumer Reports study.
As for us, we have the Britax Companion infant car seat that didn't rate so well. Very disappointing. I've always been a huge Britax fan. To me, their products are the Volvos of car seats. A little clunky in design, but super safe. In fact, The Britax was previously Consumer Reports' top-rated seat based on the federal standards. And in terms of personal experience, when The Bortski was about 5 months old I got rear-ended at a stop sign. He was totally fine, thanks to his Britax infant seat.
As for The Bear, given his age and size I think we'll move him out of his infant seat and into one for an older kid. For now, I'm most likely sticking with Britax. But I'll keep my eyes out for any further reports.
Drinking Alcohol and Breast Feeding
We actually have a babysitter for New Year's Eve. Yes, believe it or not, we have found the holy grail of sitters. Someone who actually wants to work on New Year's Eve. Now, truth be told, we don't have any plans. But we do have a few days to scare something up. And at a minimum, we have a bottle of champagne in the refrigerator we could take with us on a walk in Central Park.
If that's what it comes to, we'll probably have trouble finishing the bottle. You see, I have zero tolerance for alcohol. One glass of red wine and I get sleepy. One beer makes me full. A good mojito and I'm giddy. Two Tanqueray and Tonics and I'm apt to spill State secrets. Anything more and it's lights out.
So for me, I've never worried too much about whether it was ok to drink while I was breast feeding. I knew I would never drink so much that it would be an issue.
Nevertheless, I have been wondering about the official take on alcohol and breast feeding. So after a bit of research, I've found that as with anything mommy related, there are differing, and sometimes conflicting, opinions.
But from numerous reputable sources, it seems that bottom line, alcohol in small amounts is ok. One to two drinks per week is fine. You might want to feed your baby before you have a drink, and then wait 2 to 3 hours after drinking before feeding again. Also, there's no need to "pump and dump." As the alcohol leaves your bloodstream, it also leaves your breast milk. So sober up, and your boobs will be set to go. If it makes you feel better, give your baby a bottle of expressed milk in the meantime.
Here's a bit of information from Kellymom.com:
In general, if you are sober enough to drive, you are sober enough to breastfeed. Less than 2% of the alcohol consumed by the mother reaches her blood and milk. Alcohol peaks in mom's blood and milk approximately 1/2-1 hour after drinking (but there is considerable variation from person to person, depending upon how much food was eaten in the same time period, mom's body weight and percentage of body fat, etc.). Alcohol does not accumulate in breastmilk, but leaves the milk as it leaves the blood; so when your blood alcohol levels are back down, so are your milk alcohol levels.
Always keep in mind the baby's age when considering the effect of alcohol. A newborn has a very immature liver, so minute amounts of alcohol would be more of a burden. Up until around 3 months of age, infants detoxify alcohol at around half the rate of an adult. An older baby or toddler can metabolize the alcohol more quickly.
La Leche League also says that the occasional drink is ok, but excessive drinking is not.
Alcohol abuse (excessive drinking) by the mother can result in slow weight gain or failure to thrive in her baby. The let-down of a mother who abuses alcohol may be affected by her alcohol consumption, and she may not breastfeed enough. The baby may sleep through breastfeedings, or may not suck effectively leading to decreased milk intake. The baby may even suffer from delayed motor development. If you are concerned that you or someone you know is drinking alcohol excessively, call your doctor.
At least one organization, the March of Dimes says you should avoid alcohol while breast feeding.
Small amounts of alcohol do get into breast milk and are passed on to the baby. One study found that the breastfed babies of women who had one or more drinks a day were a little slower in acquiring motor skills (such as crawling and walking) than babies who had not been exposed to alcohol. Large amounts of alcohol may also interfere with ejection of milk from the breast. For these reasons, the March of Dimes recommends that women abstain from alcohol while they are nursing.
So, what's a mom to do? Use caution if you plan to get your party on this New Year's Eve. If you want a drink or two, it seems you can go for it. You deserve to celebrate your parenting successes of the past year. Just remember, you may still have to get up in the middle of the night to feed your baby. So make sure you'll be sober enough to safely care for her. And don't forget, if you have an early bird, she's not going to give you the day off from work.
Come to think of it, maybe I should book that sitter for January 1st. Cheers!!!

FDA Warns Nestle Over Baby Formula
If you've been using Nestle's Good Start Infant Formula with Iron to feed your baby, you may want to think twice.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued Nestle a warning letter on November 27th after a sample failed to meet proper nutrient levels. It seems the sample, collected in May, did not meet minimum requirements for calcium and phosphorus.
Nestle has said that its tests found that its product is fine. Here is a quote from a Reuters news story:
"We are working with FDA to better understand how issues relating to analytical testing methods might explain the differences noted in these two nutrients," the company said.
The Dairy Reporter.com reported that Nestle stands by its product.
"We have had two independent tests done by absolutely top quality laboratories and we have not been able to confirm the findings of the FDA," said a Nestlé spokesperson. "There is no question of a recall. We are in contact with the FDA and discussions are in progress."
Nestle has had problems with its formula in the past. It was first accused, in the 1970′s, of unethically pushing formula on women in developing countries and thus discouraging them from breast feeding. Check out Breastfeeding.com for background on the boycott. This will lead you to Baby Milk Action, a group devoted to boycotting Nestle.
Nestle has 15 working days from receipt of the letter to respond. So that brings us to some time this week. Let's see what happens. I have calls in to both the FDA and Nestle to see what's happening. I'll keep you posted.
And PS…thanks to Micky at Mocha Milk for first pointing out this story.
Epidurals and Breast Feeding
I wrote thank you notes to the anesthesiologists who gave me my epidurals. Seriously. After both kids were born, I sent the doctors birth announcements and thanked them profusely for making my labor more comfortable. I'm a wimp, and there was no way I was going to "just say no" to drugs. I am the total opposite of my friend who had three babies at home, on the sofa and in an inflatable swimming pool.
So, I took particular interest in the results of a new study which says that women who have epidurals have more trouble breast feeding. Here's a section from the study's Abstract published in The International Breastfeeding Journal:
Anecdotal reports suggest that the addition of fentanyl (an opioid) to epidural analgesia for women during childbirth results in difficulty establishing breastfeeding. The aim of this paper is to determine any association between epidural analgesia and 1) breastfeeding in the first week postpartum and 2) breastfeeding cessation during the first 24 weeks postpartum.
Women in this cohort who had epidurals were less likely to fully breastfeed their infant in the few days after birth and more likely to stop breastfeeding in the first 24 weeks. Although this relationship may not be causal, it is important that women at higher risk of breastfeeding cessation are provided with adequate breastfeeding assistance and support.
Note the use of the word "opioid" above. The researchers were basically investigating whether the epidural made the babies so sleepy that they had trouble eating. (This is something I had heard about anecdotally before I had our kids). The researchers conclude that this is a possibility. But that it's also likely that there could be a link between the choices women make about pain management and breast feeding.
As for me, I had epidurals and I breast fed. I was fortunate that both of my kids picked up on the boob thing pretty quickly. I breast fed The Bortski for eleven months, and The Bear and I are now going strong on our eighth month of boob milk.
Why was I able to succeed and some people have trouble? Quite honestly I have no idea. Maybe it's just been just good luck. Or maybe it was my obsessive nature, which made me religiously feed the babies every two hours for a couple of weeks after birth. I remember doing everything within my power to wake The Bear when he was sleepy. I stripped him down to his diaper. I tickled his nose and lips. I pinched– or more accurately– dug my fingernail into the heel of his foot. I remember feeling like I had reached a milestone when he ate for more than 5 minutes without falling back asleep.
Perhaps these researchers are onto something that OB's and anesthesiologists need to investigate further. Quite honestly, I don't know anything about the medical aspects of epidurals. All I know is that without one, I might have bit my husband's head off (oh, actually I did that when he was chewing nuts while I was having a contraction). I also threw up all over him before I got my epidural.
So, I really hope this study doesn't deter women who plan to breast feed from getting pain relief if they really want it. There's no medal for being a tough guy during labor. If you need help, get it. And as I tell all my friends who are about to have a baby, if you want an epidural, ask for it "early and often." There's no telling how long it will take for the doctor to show up once you request the epidural. So repeat after me…"early and often."
And for goodness sake, if you have to have pitocin to get your labor going, get the epidural before the pitocin. With The Bortski, I had the pitocin first, epidural second. The pitocin made the contractions so unbearable I had a hard time staying still when they were trying to insert the epidural needle. With The Bear, I got the epidural first, pitocin second. Now that, was sheer bliss. And if you're wondering about– or maybe passing judgment on– my decisions, please note that I had preeclampsia so my doctors had to induce me both times.
One more thing… send a Holiday card to your doctors…they'd probably be happy to hear from you.

Teething and Breast Feeding
The Bear has teeth!
No, duh, you say. All bears have teeth. So true. But for those of you who are new here, "The Bear" is our baby. He's now eight months old, and among other milestones (sitting up, clapping his hands and pushing himself backwards to slide on the floor) he now has two little buds poking out of his bottom gum. Very cute. But man, they hurt! He clamped down nice and hard today. I let out an involuntary yelp and pulled my boob out of his mouth. I don't think he saw the memo yet about not biting the boob that feeds you.
Another side benefit of these two new teeth is a little extra crankiness. Of course, it seems to be rearing its head in the middle of the night. Someone recommended we rub Whiskey on his gums. We tried a little Johnnie Walker a couple of times, and it worked! But I'm afraid to keep doing that in the middle of the night, for fear of creating a new dependency in addition to his 3:00 a.m. nursing addiction. The pediatrician recommended giving him a little Tylenol or letting him suck on something cold.
Has your babe ever nipped your nip? If so, how did you react? Did it happen multiple times? How did you get the kiddo to cut it out? And how do you handle teething? Inquiring minds want to know.
By the way, for those of us with a few more teeth, we celebrated The Bear's eight month milestone with cupcakes of course!
Donating Breast Milk
There are a lot of things you simply don't know about your breasts before you have kids. I, for one, didn't know that boobs can leak or grow exponentially. And I certainly didn't know that you can donate your breast milk. It simply never occured to me that you can donate breast milk in the same way that you can donate blood.
Welcome to the wild wild west of parenting. Lots to know. Lots to know.
Here's the scoop. Milk banks have been around since the turn of the century. The first one opened in 1909 in Vienna, Austria. In 1919, milk banks opened in Boston and Germany. Today, the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA) is a non-profit that is sets the standards and guidelines for milk banks in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. It was founded in 1985. There are currently 11 milk banks that distribute the milk to hospitals, and babies who are home and need breast milk. Sometimes they are even able to help babies who have been adopted.
The milk banks screen donors and carefully process and pasteurize the milk. If you're interested in becoming a donor, contact the milk bank closest to you.
In addition to the milk banks that are affiliated with the HMBANA, there is now also a company called Prolacta. This for profit operation is also collecting breast milk and selling it to hospitals.
Prolacta recently announced a deal with the University of Minnesota Medical Center to collect milk. Like the milk banks of HMBANA, Prolacta then sells the milk back to hospitals. Only it charges a lot more. This recently caught the attention of some of my fellow breast feeding bloggers. To read The Lactivist's take on Prolacta, click here.
Prolacta is also a sponsor of an organization called The International Breast Milk Project that collects milk and sends it to children in Africa who are orphans because their parents had HIV. Here's a news story about donations to children in South Africa.
Whatever your take on Prolacta, I think the main thing to focus on here is that there are moms out there whose generosity is helping improve the lives of babies who need help. Think about how tiring it is to feed and care for your own children. Now consider that these donors are also taking the time to pump milk to help babies that they'll never meet.
Breast milk donors, we applaud you!
Breast feeding and Thyroid Problems
Have you ever tried to take a baby with you to one of your doctor's appointments? It might seem practical. You don't need a sitter. You don't have to worry that the baby will get hungry while you're away…especially if he won't take a bottle. So I do it all the time. Maybe not one of my smartest moves.
Invariably, there are the steps to drag the stroller up, a narrow examining room and the challenge of keeping the baby from trying to grab the stirrups in the Ob's office. Lovely. As always, there's the perfectly timed crying. Just as the doctor prepares to examine you, the screaming starts. And let's not forget the last time I took The Bear (our now 7 month old) to the doctor with me– a plane crashed into a building a few blocks away. The appointment was cancelled.
So I had pretty low expectations when I went back to the doctor to try the appointment again. I was seeing an endocrinologist because it turns out my thyroid has decided to go haywire after this pregnancy. I have something called Hashimoto's. Basically it's an auto-immune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid. This creates hypothyroidism, or an under-active thyroid. So now I'm taking thyroid replacement medicine.
Of course my questions were: (1) is the thyroid imbalance bad for the baby if I'm breastfeeding? (2) is it ok to take the medication, Synthroid, if I'm breastfeeding? As any good former reporter (or anal mom) would do, I checked multiple sources. I found this link about breastfeeding and thyroid conditions. And per the pediatrician, my general practitioner, my endocrinologist and my gynecologist (oh and a second endocrinologist I saw after The Bortskerini was born), Synthroid is just fine if I'm breastfeeding. In fact, it should make me feel better.
Now to be fair, I didn't really feel all that bad. Just VERY tired. But then again I have two kids, and a baby who doesn't sleep through the night. So we'll see if the thyroid medication will help. (Exhaustion and depression are hypothyroid symptoms).
In the meantime, maybe The Bear will start to take pity on us and stop waking up at 4 in the morning…a mere two hours before his big brother, The Bortskerini decides to yell, at the top of his lungs, "HELP!!!"

This year marks the return of the WBCA National Convention to its Pennsylvania roots.
A lot has changed since the inception of the WBCA in 1981 in Wayne, PA, just outside of Philadelphia From a modest membership of 212 coaches and only had 99 attendees at its inaugural convention in 1982, the WBCA currently boasts more than 5,000 members and a national convention that has become a premier happening in women's basketball. That is why Sears has chosen to honor the WBCA's Chief Executive Officer Betty F. Jaynes at the Sears Salute to Champions Brunch.
Betty Jaynes has seen the WBCA through its humble beginnings and helped it grow into the respected organization that it is today. Not only is Sears honoring Jaynes for her contributions to women's basketball, but to signal her induction into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame this June.
Prior to her involvement with the WBCA, Jaynes served as head women's basketball coach at Madison College (later renamed James Madison University) from 1970 to 1982. The Dukes compiled a 142-114 record under her leadership, and, most notably, won the 1975 Virginia (AIAW) state championship.
Jaynes' teams also posted runners-up finishes in the 1973, 1977 and 1979 state tournaments, while her 1974 and 1975 teams advanced to the AIAW Region 2 playoffs.
Jaynes also chaired the U.S. Girls' and Women's Basketball Rules Committee from 1979 to 1981, and was the tournament director for the 1975 AIAW Large College National Basketball Championships, that boasted the first-ever championship game sell-out.
The tournament also featured the first-ever selection and presentation of the Kodak Women's Basketball Team, which evolved into the most prestigious All-America award in women's basketball. Jaynes chaired the Kodak All-America program from 1976 through 1982, and brought Kodak and its All-America team aboard as the WBCA's first Official Sponsors and Awards Program components in 1982-83.
Since Jaynes became its Executive Director in 1981, the WBCA has blossomed into a leading voice and advocate for women's and girls' basketball. It boasts 98 percent membership of Division I women's basketball coaches and is associated with some of the biggest events in women's basketball, such as the Phoenix/WBCA High School All-America Game.
As CEO of the WBCA, Jaynes is currently functioning as its chief liaison to affiliated governing bodies and sport organizations. In addition, Jaynes oversees the WBCA's legislative role to the NCAA and handles additional advisory affairs as necessary.
This year's WBCA National Convention will serve as a reminder of just how much Betty Jaynes has done for the organization since its inception in 1981.
Every member of the WBCA is proud to return home to Philadelphia this month stronger and more unified than ever.
Kodak All-America Teams
The oldest and most prestigious All-America team in Women's basketball, this elite team is selected entirely by active WBCA coaches. The Division I team is presented at the Kodak All-America Celebration each year.
In the 25-year history of the Division I Kodak All-America program, there have only been four four-time winners. Needless to say, each ranks among the game's immortals. The "undefeated" quartet:
Ann Meyers, UCLA 1975-78
Cheryl Miller, USC 1983-86
Lynette Woodard, Kansas 1978-81
Chamique lloldsclaw, Tenn. 1996-99
WBCA Leadership
The Women's Basketball Coaches Association is governed by the WBCA Executive Committee and the WBCA Board of Directors. The Executive Committee meets three times per year (March, May, August) and via conference call each month of the school year. The Board of Directors meets twice per year (March, August) and via conference call in March and December. Each voting Board member is elected by the WBCA'S active membership for a three-year term, except for the President, who has a two-year commitment. The President appoints non-voting positions and any positions vacated before their expiration date.
IKON/WBCA Coaches of the Year, 1999
Presented annually to one coach in each of the five collegiate divisions -- Division I. Division II, Division III, NAIA and JC/CC -- as well as High School.
RAWLINGS/WBCA Players of the Year, 1999
Presented annually to the best women's basketball player in each collegiate division: Divisions I. II, III, NAIA, and Junior College/Community College, as well as High School.
Sears/WBCA Trophy
Considered the most sought-after award in women's college basketball, the Sears/WBCA Women's Collegiate Basketball Trophy is hand-crafted by Waterford Crystal in Ireland. The trophy takes more than three months to create and is insured for $30,000. This sparkling trophy and a $10,000 scholarship is awarded to the winner of the final USA TODAY/ESPN/WBCA Top 25 Poll, and is presented at the concluding function of the WBCA National Convention.
Sears and the WBCA also present a $2,500 scholarship to each of the national champions in NCAA Division II and III and NAIA Divisions I and II. All conference champions of the four-year school divisions, plus the national champions are honored at the Sears Salute to Champions Luncheon.
The Sears/WBCA Trophy is part of the Sears Collegiate Champions (SCC) program - a comprehensive trophy and academic scholarship program which recognizes both women's and men's sports equally. Sears, Roebuck and Co., and the WBCA also present $20,000 in academic scholarships each year in connection with this trophy. In total, the SCC program awards more than 2,200 trophies and more than a quarter of a million dollars in academic scholarships each year to NCAA Division I, II, III and NAIA institutions.
Jostens-Berenson Service Award
Named after Senda Berenson. the founding mother of Women's basketball, and sponsored by Jostens, the award is presented at the Jostens-Berenson Awards Luncheon on the final day of the national Convention to a person who has demonstrated a life-long commitment to women's basketball. The late Margaret Wade won the first Service Award in 1984, and has been followed by a dozen elite figures in women's basketball. 1999 winner: Betty Wiseman. Belmont (Tenn.) U.
1984 Margaret Wade, Delta State U.

Lake Michigan Cruise - 7/31/2010
For all those interested a group of local sailors from Milwaukee and myself are planning a little cruise to the mid-lake buoy in the southern portion of Lake Michigan. It's not a race or anything, just a reason to get out of cell phone range.
The idea is we leave that Saturday morning (7/31/2010), sail out to the buoy and say hello to everyone.
Right now we've got about 5 or 6 boats going, but would love to have more! Its an easy sail from Milwaukee Chicago, Racine, Grand Haven, Muskegon, South Haven, or Holland.
Feel free to PM me, or stop by
Categories - Milwaukee Sailing Forum
for more information. It's loosely organized so there's not that much information to be had... but let me know if interested and you can get to know some of the other sailors.
See you out there!

Off road rider elbow guards at great prices and selection.
JEFFREY in IL
These move around too much on my arms and its not because they are too loose. They are pretty tight and still move. Any tighter and I would not want to wear them out of discomfort. Would look elsewhereRead All Reviews
zane in CO
I use these guards primarily for trial riding and they have saved my elbows multiple times. They offer good coverage and don't slide or rotate. My only criticism is that they could be a little more comfortable. A couple of times I have had dirt get underneath the straps.Read All Reviews
Punky in AZ
They are tough and fit goodRead All Reviews
Nolan in WA
Got them on clearance. Pretty basic but comfy straps. Have seemed to hold up alright an look pretty sweeet.Read All Reviews
James in CA
Great quality Solid protection for worst case scenarios. Works fine for casual trail riding, sleeve fits tight with minimal squeezing. If you ride moto and land from a jump they slide down. Sizing runs a bit big. I would consider the soft foam version.Read All Reviews

nice slim elbow guard. stay cool in the summer and the protection though minimal is for me good enough.Read All Reviews

The light shield was easy, except there were no instructions. so It took a minute to realize that you have to remove the ice maker to unscrew the portion that slides up to fit in its place. then it was quite simple.The water filter however was a bit more challenging. We had to take off both ends of the filter to be able to attach to the water line we have set up in the basement. My brother is handy, so after a little while he figured out how to install the filter. now it is on fine and the water taste better.

Cowboys change mind on Long
IRVING, Texas (AP)
The Dallas Cowboys have signed defensive tackle Jerome Long after deciding against keeping the second-year player during rookie minicamp last month.
NEED SOME? GET SOMEFeed your NFL addiction! Come feast on all the news in our updating blog.
The signing of Long on Tuesday came five days after Dallas released defensive end Anthony Hargrove, one of the players suspended in the New Orleans bounty scandal.
Long was a seventh-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs last year and spent most of the season on their practice squad.
Jacksonville signed Long before the season finale in 2012, but he didn't play. The Jaguars released him in April, and he was on Dallas' tryout roster for rookie minicamp.
Long had 163 tackles and nine sacks in four seasons at San Diego State.

Getting your site ranked by search engines like Google and Bing is a must to boost your brand. The key to a successful SEO strategy is a combination of strategy, consistency, and patience.
The agencies I know (including ours—The Marketing Zen Group) never guarantees rankings within a set amount of time. After all, at the end of the day, that is the search engine's domain. Think of search engines as a teacher giving out grades. If you do all your homework, perform well on your exams, and keep participating, the chances are that you will get an A. But, at the end of the day, doling out the grades is up to the teacher.
The key to a successful SEO strategy is a combination of strategy, consistency, and patience. The SEO agency you are working with should share their strategy with you, and be consistent in their tactics and recommendations. The patience piece will have to come from you.

Life Is Short, Art Is Important: Hilton Kramer
Shivah Stars
Julian Schnabel's controversial film Miral, like this week's parasha, is a meditation on impurity. But while the Torah decries the risks of impurity, the movie extols its virtues.
Piece Plan
Julian Schnabel's Miral, a sympathetic portrayal of four Palestinian women over nearly 50 years, is neither what its defenders claim nor what its detractors allege. It is a collection of fragments that ultimately doesn't hold together.

The first arrivals in the area were fisherman, among them a NY attorney named Remington Vernam. He was very interested in the prospects for real estate development in Rockaway. He was persistent in buying land owned by William Amerman's heirs. After several years he was successful in acquiring the land that now makes up the section they named Arverne. According to legend, it was Mrs. Vernam who suggested this name when she observed her husband's signature, "R. Vern," with the last letters "am" almost illegible.
In 1884 he incorporated Ocean Front Improvement Company where he wanted to open a new vacation village. Essential to this was the construction of a large hotel, completed in 1888. Despite a good start, Vernam's hotel did not share in the general success of the community. Financial difficulties came early on. In January 1899 he filed for bankruptcy. He died unexpectedly in 1907, and his son Clarence continued his father's work. In 1916, Clarence sold the last sizable open tract of land to investors.
Arverne began to decline in the 1950's and by the 70's, most of the buildings had been leveled. Recently, the "Arverne by the Sea" project has been revitalized.
The library was initially housed in a drug store from November 10, 1914 through 1929. It was temporarily relocated to PS 42 for one year when in 1930 it was replaced by a bookmobile stop. In 1951, the branch was established in small quarters in a housing project, and on October 23, 1964 a newer rental facility opened for service at the present site. A new title was vested with the City and was designated for Library use on September 6, 2000.

2 admirals sanctioned in bribery scheme
Sunday - 11/10/2013, 12:30pm EST
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Navy has suspended access to classified material of two admirals in connection with a massive bribery scheme in Asia involving prostitutes and luxury travel.
Vice Adm. Ted Branch, director of naval intelligence, and Rear Adm. Bruce Loveless, director of intelligence operations, are on temporary leave following suspension of their classified access.
Rear Adm. John F. Kirby, the Navy's chief of information, said the actions against Branch and Loveless are connected to a naval investigation into illegal and improper relations with a Singapore-based Navy contractor. Three senior Navy officials have been arrested in the case.
Kirby said the allegations against Branch and Loveless involve conduct before their current assignments and rank. Neither officer has been charged with a crime.
Kirby said there is no indication any classified information was breached.

Empty Netter Assists - 07-30-11
-Penguins defensive prospects Scott Harrington and Joe Morrow were among the 47 players invited to Canada's tryout camp for the World Junior Championships.
-If you're a Penguins or Blue Jackets fan in Northeast Ohio, do yourself a favor and read this blog post by Tom Reed of the Columbus Dispatch.
-"The only reason I played in the NHL until I was 43 was because of what I did off the ice." - Former Penguins forward Gary Roberts (right) on his post-NHL life as a strength and conditioning coach.
-Happy 55th birthday to former Penguins goaltender Greg Redquest. A fourth-round pick in the 1976 draft, Redquest's entire NHL career amounted to one game with the 1977-78 Penguins. He was released in the 1979 offseason.
-Happy 38th birthday to former Penguins forward Markus Naslund (right). A first-round pick in 1991, Naslund spent parts of three seasons with the Penguins. As a raw 20-year-old rookie in 1993-94, Naslund appeared in 71 games and scored 11 points. In 1994-95, Naslund was limited to 14 games and four points. In 1995-96, Naslund finally seemed to find his game by producing 52 points in 66 games, but at the trade deadline, he was dealt to the Canucks in exchange for Alex $$@! Stojanov. The trade is considered one of the worst in franchise history as Naslund developed into an all-star in Vancouver while Stojanov washed out after two seasons in Pittsburgh. In 151 games with the Penguins, Naslund scored 67 points, 109th-most in franchise history.
-Happy 41st birthday to former Penguins forward Jeff Christian. A free agent signing in the 1994 offseason, Christian parts of three seasons with the Penguins. During that span, he only saw action in 15 games and scored four points. In the 1997 offseason, he signed with the Coyotes.
-Happy 26th birthday to former Penguins defenseman Alex Goligoski (right). A second-round pick in 2004, Goligoski spent parts of the four seasons with the Penguins. He had a brief three-game cup of coffee in 2007-08 which produced two assists. In 2008-09, with defenseman Sergei Gonchar sidelined due to a preseason shoulder injury, Goligoski was inserted into the lineup and responded well by producing 20 points in 45 games. After appearing in two postseason games during the team's Stanley Cup run that spring, Goligoski's name earned a spot on the Cup. During 2009-10, Goligoski appeared in 67 games and registered 37 points. He appeared in all 13 of the team's playoff games and contributed nine points. After 60 games and 31 points in 2010-11, Goligoski was dealt at the trade deadline in exchange for James Neal and Matt Niskanen. In 177 regular season games with the Penguins, Goligoski socred 90 points, 94th-most in franchise history. In 15 postseason games, Goligoski scored 10 points.

Atlantic Division
-The Devils re-signed forward Zach Parise to a one-year contract worth $6 million. In 13 games last season, he scored six points (three goals, three assists).
-EN Says: The Devils want to lockout Parise (right) to a long-term contract. This just basically buys them some time to do that and allows both parties to avoid the unpleasant experience of an arbitration hearing. For the time being, this is a pretty good bargain for a player who can be one of the NHL's 10 best when healthy.
-Devils overlord Lou Lamoriello threw his support behind the Islanders' plans for a new arena.
Northeast Division
-The Maple Leafs signed forward David Broll, a sixth-round pick in last month's draft, to a three-year entry-level contract.

Fed expected to maintain pace of economic stimulus
WASHINGTON Renewed questions about the economy's health and uncertainty surrounding the government's budget fight will likely lead the Federal Reserve on Wednesday to maintain the pace of the stimulus it's supplying to the economy.
That expectation marks a reversal from just six weeks ago, when almost everyone expected the Fed to start trimming its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases. The bond buying is intended to keep long-term interest rates low to help the economy rebound from the Great Recession.
The Fed is to announce its decision in a statement after a two-day policy meeting.
The central bank surprised investors and economists at its last meeting in September when it chose not to reduce its bond buying. Since then, a 16-day partial government shutdown shaved an estimated $25 billion from economic growth this quarter. And a batch of tepid economic data pointed to a still-subpar economy.
Now, few think the Fed will reduce its stimulus any time soon. Many analysts now predict the Fed will maintain the pace of its bond purchases into next year.
"I think March is now the earliest that any reduction in bond purchases will happen," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial.
By then, Fed members expect to have seen several months of stronger job growth. They also expect Congress to have resolved its budget impasse.
If the Fed does start slowing its stimulus in March, it will have left its policy unchanged not just this week but also at its next meeting in December and at its subsequent meeting in late January.
The January meeting will be the last for Chairman Ben Bernanke, who is stepping down after eight years. President Barack Obama has chosen Vice Chair Janet Yellen to succeed Bernanke.
Assuming that Yellen is confirmed by the Senate, her first meeting as chairman will be in March. Many economists think no major policy changes will occur before a new chairman takes over.
Congress' budget fight has clouded the Fed's timetable. Though the government reopened Oct. 17 and a threatened default on its debt was averted, Congress adopted only temporary fixes. More deadlines and possible economic disruptions lie ahead.
A House-Senate conference committee is working toward a budget accord. But wide differences separate Democrats and Republicans on spending and taxes. Without a deal by Jan. 15, another shutdown is possible. Congress must also raise the government's debt ceiling after Feb. 7. If not, a market-rattling default will remain a threat.
The standoff has led economists to trim their forecasts for economic growth in the October-December quarter. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its index of consumer confidence dropped to 71.2 in October, the lowest level since April. The decline was attributed, in part, to the government shutdown.
Employers added just 148,000 jobs in September, a steep slowdown from August. And temporary layoffs during the shutdown are expected to depress October's job gain.
In June, when Bernanke suggested that the Fed could reduce its bond buying by year's end, the Dow Jones industrial average plunged 560 points in two days. Many investors feared that the Fed might remove its support prematurely and derail an already subpar recovery from the recession.

Chargers find it tough to defend champs
The secondary was not the glaring problem last night.
A thin defensive line has been the biggest question mark. After Friday, it might be downgraded from thin to see-through. Certainly, the Seahawks ran through it. The Chargers must now hope Lissemore, the starter at nose tackle who could also play outside, is not out long with the ankle injury he suffered Friday.
A defense that saved itself last year by limiting big plays gave up a 37-yard pass and 47-yard run. The Chargers had no idea what to do with Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who completed 11 of his 13 passes for 121 yards and ran four times for 31 yards and two touchdowns.
There were positives to acknowledge.
Aside from his not falling on a fumble that would have ended the Seahawks' first drive, Melvin Ingram was impressive. Tenny Palepoi was called on to play early when Lissemore went down and mostly built on a strong camp and preseason debut that has him challenging fifth-round draft pick Ryan Carrethers for a roster spot. Jerry Attaochu remains raw enough to be ineffective but is active enough to have hope.
Now, we must remember, we do well to discount preseason results. But we can do so to our detriment.
The Chargers have slightly more than three weeks until the games start counting and a little less than one month before they see the Seahawks again.
There is plenty of room for improvement.

These days we San Diegans frequently read and hear the verb harass and the noun harassment. Whether to place the stress on the first syllable or the second of each of these words is one of the hottest debates among those who care about pronunciation. In a nutshell, the stress traditionally falls on the first syllable, HAR-is, HAR-is-ment; but, over time, the stress has moved to the second syllable, huh-RASS, huh-RASS-ment. Either sounding is correct.
That brings us to the adjective mayoral. Be sure to stress the first syllable, MAY-ur-ul. There is no oral in mayoral, nor in electoral, pastoral and pectoral.

The Car Guys on Public Radio often joke about the fictional law firm Dewey, Cheatam and Howe. Ex Mayor Bob Filner is represented by the real-life legal firm of Payne & Fears. The names of the principal partners of that group reflect the pain and fears we San Diegans have suffered as we watched this Greek drama play itself out — the calamitous fall from a lofty position of a man ensnarled by a tragic flaw in his character.
Language unremittingly names itself, and sure enough, there's a label for names such as Payne & Fears. An auspicious name, such as Harry Truman, Martin Luther King Jr. and Andrew Marvell, is called an euonym (Greek: "good name").

I remember when pizza was called pizza pie, as Dean Martin crooned, "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore." But pizza pie is a redundancy, because pizza in Italian means "pie."
