The Orioles will be without Adam Jones, who's out with a sore right wrist.
News and Notes:
The Orioles have won the season series from Boston for the second straight year.
Brian Roberts hit his eighth home run of the season on Saturday night. He hit seven in 2010-12. Sunday could be Roberts' final game of his Orioles' career.

Bob McDonnell's State of the Commonwealth: Jobs and road construction
In his State of the Commonwealth address, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell spent a lot of his time selling his plan to spur additional road construction in Virginia. Democrats are skeptical of taking on new debt to pay for transportation, but if the plan passes, it could end one of the state's longest-running debates.
And, McDonnell added, it would create jobs.
"Building now will produce another benefit for our Commonwealth: road building means job creation," McDonnell said. "It is estimated that every $100 million spent on construction generates 3,000 new jobs."
McDonnell wants to spend $4 billion over the next three years on transportation, a significant part of it on road construction, so we were wondering: Will all this building actually put tens of thousands of Virginians back to work?
A McDonnell spokeswoman said the source of the jobs claim was a report by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials that uses 2007 data from the Federal Highway Administration. The report "estimates that a total of 34,779 jobs ... would be supported by each $1.25 billion in highway capital investment." Do the math, and that turns out to be 2,782 jobs for every $100 million spent.
FHWA - Employment Impacts of Highway Infrastructure Investment
But the report comes with plenty of caveats. The most important to us is the following: "The FHWA analysis refers to jobs supported by highway investments, not jobs created." McDonnell said the spending would "generate ... new" jobs, but the report only says jobs will be supported, not created. That could mean saving jobs that might otherwise disappear, creating new ones, or continuing to fund existing jobs not at risk.
The report also states that annual highway funding would support the same jobs year after year, but an increase in funds would create new ones. McDonnell's argument is based on a burst of spending. "This would be an immediate infusion of funds the likes of which our Commonwealth hasn't seen in decades," he said in the speech.
The study from AASHTO notes that with the exception of certain projects, "highway funds spend out slowly, with only 27% of a project, on average, outlaying in the first year." In fact, the report makes a point to caution against using the numbers to argue for including highway spending in economic stimulus packages, as many had done in the case of President Obama's 2009 legislation.
McDonnell is right that road construction has been linked to job growth, but the relationship is more complex than he made it seem in his address. He makes it sound like spending $100 million on road construction will instantly move 3,000 Virginians directly from the unemployment line to work. That's not how it works. What he said is Only Kind of True.

Track Name: Veins As Poisoned Streams
Here I stand, weak boughs stretched wide over this darkened land, scorched dystopia. I speak the words of sadness, barely audible, a whispered hiss through rotted teeth. This dam is crumbling under oppressive, torrential weight of time. Breaking away to reveal the truth of the great void inside. These limbs are bent under the weight of years, painful to behold. In the floodplain of life substance is sought with none to find. Living is not mine, though I carry it's heft with bent and crooked spine. Veins are as poisoned streams seeping down into groundwater. All will waste away. All will waste away. Numbness is life, life is the void. This hollow heart lies cold and still. Rivers of poison flow through these veins and into all. Here is my baseless dystopia. Here is the truth of the void. Here is the dam crumbling. Here are the currents of time. Here are the limbs broken under the weight of years. Here is the world drowning in bitterness and tears. Here is the numbness consuming. Here is the madness abound. Here are the veins poisoned and drained into the ground. Sleep will not renew. Light will not reveal. Warmth will not suffice. No release at the knife. No warmth, no light, no death, no life. All is numb. No warmth, no light, no death, no life. All will waste away. Numbness is life. Life is the void. Cold is the heart. Veins are as streams of poison.
Track Name: Succumb
Close your eyes, taste cold upon your tongue. Exhale. Lie against the frozen earth, defeated, subdued. You have been born into the maelstrom, unfortunately conceived in these days of ignorance masqueraded as life. The future is written for you, inscribed beneath your skin. Your every choice betrays and confirms your need to feel the end. Succumb. Your need to feel the end. We are they without purpose, yet believe ourselves to be the heirs to higher meaning. We in truth remain nothing. Succumb. Remain nothing. Seven billion empty shells, parasites excreting fear and poison. Stand tall and breathe it in. Seven billion empty shells are all that can stop this now. This brooding degenerate psychosis must be put down. We are they without meaning, yet believe ourselves to be the heirs to brighter futures. In truth there's no hope here. Succumb. There's no hope here.
Track Name: Supremacy Unfurled
You are the sad persistent progeny of your drooling forefathers, impregnated by witless gods. You've limped across the earth smearing everything in rank white shit. What is this pride? What is this arrogance? What is this history, this so called heritage? What can it mean to you, your myths of purity, your vapid lies? We are all bastards, vessels of filth and rancid blood running over. We all suckle from the same diseased teat, growing fat and sick. Growing pale and weak. Here's your heritage, an infection to drain. The white puss of the earth drowning everything. The summit of your bodies piled up into the sky should serve as a great vantage, a clear view of what your glorious past has done for the future of this world. The fields all slashed and burned. Supremacy unfurled. Fuck the world you've created. Supremacy unfurled.

A talk in defense of Mindlessness
Like Robert Thurman said in the talk, when we became aware of the joy of the moment we begin to enjoy less the moment itself. In the last years, so much words were about Mindfulness, sometimes considered like a panacea, but I'd like to listen some good word about Mindlessness. I think too much mindfulness can weigh our minds not giving us the ability to letting go things. I'm not promoting the idea that one is better than another, but that each is useful in the right moment.
Feb 19 2014: Ever hear of "paralysis by analysis"? A little fairy tale goes thus:
A cricket once said to a centipede, "How do you ever do that?"
"Do what?" the centipede replied.
"How do you walk with 100 legs? I can barely keep six of them going the way I want to."
The centipede sat down. "I never thought about that. I wonder how I do that."
And the centipede was never able to take another step.
This is, of course, a fable, but it does illustrate the usefulness of mindlessness. Mindlessness is a fundamentally necessary state of life--imagine how difficult it would be to walk if you had to think about moving every muscle in the process every single time. The real problem is not insufficient mindfulness. The real problem is not knowing how and when to switch from mindlessness to mindfulness and back.
Feb 19 2014: This makes me think of "muscle memory" and training until actions become reflexes. Mindlessness can be learned and is necessary sometimes.
Jacob Warren
Feb 8 2014: I can see the benefits of "shutting down" and having a good laugh now and then. It seems unhealthy to weigh ourselves down nonstop 24 hours a day. Meditation is a powerful tool as well. For me it is a practice in "not following" the thoughts that pop in my head. When I follow some of these thoughts it leads to anger or anxiety. I think egolessness is a healthy excercise too.Feb 15 2014: Mindfulness and Mindlessness, Yin and Yang. Is that what you mean Eduardo? Please expand or explain Mindlessness a little bit more.
- +1
Feb 15 2014: Yeah Rodrigo it's what I mean.
Mindlessness it's a state similar to what you obtain in passive meditation, for me.
If I see an interesting and funny movie for example I became "mindless".
If you meditate, and let go the thought you can feel like a stream and you don't focus on some thought, for me also this is mindlessness. But if for example I try to enter in a meditation state using the feeling of my body, I became mindful of my body and then mindless-mindful because we enter in a state near the sleep. Every method it's useful, but sometimes we need a laugh because meditating it's more difficult. When we laugh everything flow, in that moment we are mindless-mindful. Aware of the joy of laughing, mindless of the burden we have on us.
I'm understanding these things just in these days. We already use the two alternatives, I guess it's natural. Sometimes we focus, sometimes we relax (making it simple).
Feb 16 2014: Thank you, Eduardo!
Feb 16 2014: :)Feb 15 2014: Another thing.
What impressed me, in Robert Thurman talk is that when we became aware of the joy of the moment we begin to enjoy less the moment itself. This make me think that not always mindfulness it's a good thing, that sometimes, we need mindlessness to enjoy life. This explained to me because sometimes I don't feel comfortable to be aware.
By the way there are several benefits to being mindfull, I'm not denying it, I hope this is clear! :)
I also think we can feel spontaneously when one of the two is needed. :)
Thank you all very much for your participation in this topic! :)Jan 25 2014: Well, I'm capable of mindlessness, for example when I see my favourite TV-series. Many gurus, spiritual masters, psychologist say that we need more mindfulness. For example, in my case mindfulness can help for my ocd, or the awareness of my phisycal sensation are a wonderful method of relaxation and meditation. But sometimes, we need mindlessness in the form of a long bath, or a hot shower, or a movie, or a drink with friends without trying to be aware. I guess this way of acting could be stressful for some people like me, so relax and enjoy it (and this is for me mindlessness). I think everybody is capable of mindlessness, and maybe mindlessness and mindfullness, often are the same. I don't think we have to eliminate thoughts from our minds, I agree is innatural, but neither I think that mindlessness means this. I have difficulty to express these type of thoughts in english, I hope that something passed, sorry for my english. Thank you for the attention! :)Jan 22 2014: I really don't think I'm capable of mindlessness. Even when I turn off the words in my mind, which is rarely and feels unnatural, there's still a continuing awareness of how I feel emotionally and physically. Do you really think you're capable of mindlessness, Eduardo? I'm always very aware of my physical blood in my body, it seems like the blood always wants to be aware.Jan 21 2014: P.S.
I think mindlessness could be a tool to live more the present, and to live more spontaneously.
We need both (mindfulness and mindlessness) IMHO :)Jan 21 2014: I'm happy my idea was published, thank you Ted's Staff! :)
So people, what do you think about this idea?
I say this also for my experience with OCD (in which sometimes the Mindfullness can be a problem, and other times useful) and with all these practices that use mindfulness. Sometimes Mindlessness can be useful too, giving us the permission to letting go and relax! :)

She blogs today about a real mystery in financial markets, i.e. why Lehman's CDO auction didn't turn into a disaster. This is rough going, but this issue is key to understanding how events have progressed since the Lehman Bankruptcy:
"Credit Swaps Top $33 Trillion, Depository Trust Says"
Even though the (supposed) supervising grownups in the credit default swaps market keep making reassuring noises about the credit default swaps market, I am not entirely convinced, mainly because the picture is still somewhat murky.
Witness the Bloomberg story today, which tells us that the CDS market is smaller than we thought, roughly $34 trillion in notional amount according to the DTCC versus a not-long-ago report of $62 trillion from the IMF. The Bloomberg story create the impression that the new smaller number is solely due to the netting, when other factors may have played a role. First, we have also four large settlements (Freddie, Fannie, Lehman, and WaMu). Second, my impression is that most CDS agreements run three to five years. With spreads widening massively in the credit crunch, plus certain formerly important protection writers no longer active (AIG, Ambac, MBIA, Bear) and hedge funds (another important source) less active in aggregate, one would imagine we have had some runoff, as outstanding agreements have matured and new ones have not been written in the same volume.
The part that leaves me scratching my head is this:

Glad he's coming back, but I just don't see him developing enough into a effective passer for us and definitely not the NFL. I hope to see a much improved Defense next season one way or another, they have to figure it out.

lol@ that, I couldn't disagree anymore. Sure they would have helped but still the unit as a whole is flawed beyond belief . Roby got fried during the season many times. Far as Braxton goes, I wish he would leave, I'd rather see Barrett I bet he can throw better. All the excuses over and over
our defense is miserable and Braxton will never be a decent passer IMO. I see at least 4 losses next season. wonderful end to the season
secondary was supposed to be the strength, it was an embarrassment . Ridiculous , I wont be making excuses for Iowa moving the ball down the field at will repeatedly like most on here. It's been a problem all season, and even some last year.

September 10, 2012
Framingham State University is excited to announce the opening of its new Community Education Center in the historic Jonathan Maynard Building just a few-minute walk from campus.
The center will provide additional space for the University's robust community education programs, including the English Language Program, which offers everything from language tutoring to intensive English study.
"The Maynard Building provides us with a beautiful space that allows us to expand our English Language Programs as well as our overall community education component," says Dr. Scott Greenberg, Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Continuing Education. "We also hope to use the space to offer new professional development workshops for teachers and the workforce."
The building is located at 14 Vernon Street, across the footbridge over Route 9. Rebecca Hawk, Director of Community Education and English Language Programs, says the University will be working with the community to develop programs that meet the educational needs of the citizenry.
"We envision this as a way for members of the community to try out a program and work a class into their schedule, without having to fully enroll," Hawk says. "The great thing about a community center is it brings people in who wouldn't typically follow a path toward a University education."
The English Language Programs are the largest component of the University's community education efforts.
Intensive daytime courses offer instruction on everything from reading, writing, grammar and speaking to electives such as American Culture and Cinema. There are also community courses in the evenings and Saturday mornings, as well as specialized tutoring to meet specific needs.
For more information visit www.framingham.edu/esl or call 508-626-4925.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Jacqueline Laurita on Teresa Giudice's Decision to Forgive Kathy Wakile: "This Is All an Act"
Before their big blowout on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Jacqueline Laurita and Teresa Giudice were friends for years, so it's safe to say that Jac has a pretty good understanding of how Teresa's mind works.
While we watched Tre seemingly forgive her cousin Kathy Wakile for her unintentional digs at the cookbook signing, Jacqueline reveals that she doesn't buy Teresa's forgiveness act. At all.
In her latest BravoTV.com blog, Jacqueline explains, "My personal opinion is that this is all an act. This is the quickest I have ever seen Teresa forgive anybody. I tried to get her to do that for two seasons with no luck."
We know that things in Napa don't end well, so it's possible that Jacqueline has a point, but do you really believe that Teresa's forgiving Kathy was all fake?
Weigh in below!

The Benefits of Using a Tutor
When your grades are starting to suffer and you are unsure that you will pass a class, it is very important to seek the help of a tutor. If you notice that you are having trouble with some of your school work, make sure that you find a tutor as soon as possible. Tutors are there to help you and teach you better ways to study so that you can pass your classes. There are quite a few benefits of using a tutor.
When you choose a tutor, the two of you will go over the notes that you have taken in class, during your homework as well reading. The tutors will compare the notes that they have as well. Your tutor will also let you know if the notes you took are correctly written and they will elaborate on what you need to get out of these notes.
Tutoring can help students to find a new way to study and it can also help them with their critical thinking skills. Tutors increase the students urge to want to study and want to do well in their classes. An excellent GRE teacher in NYC knows how to properly motivate a child for achieving successful grades. These teachers will also help them to have better confidence in the classes where they seem to be lacking the knowledge necessary to do well. They can also help to motivate students to do much better in these classes. They do so by making the students understand the importance of the subject matter and how important it is to know it and be able to take tests on the subject.
When the students' academic performance has been heightened, they will have the self-confidence that it takes to ace tests and not be nervous about the subject. Tutoring will help the student better understand the problems that are being asked on tests and on homework. The tutor can help them to better perform the formulas and help them to talk about the answer and how they came up with the correct one. Tutoring gives individuals the one-on-one time that most teachers cannot give to each and every student.
When you have signed up to receive the help of an academic mentor, you will be nervous at first, but they are here to help you. You can hire a private MCAT tutor, use the schools' tutor, or even use online help. There are quite a few options when it comes to selecting a tutor and you must keep in mind that the school's tutors are the only ones who are free.
Once you begin to work with a tutor, your grades will begin to get much better and you will begin to see how great you can be at these subjects. Your confidence will get better as well and you will be acing your tests in no time!

flow was increased supine in normal flow POTS despite marked peripheral
vasoconstriction and did not change during incremental tilt producing
progressive splanchnic hypervolemia. Absolute hypovolemia was present in
low flow POTS; all supine flows and volumes were reduced; there was
absence of vasoconstriction with tilt in all segments, and segmental
volumes tended to increase uniformly throughout tilt. Lower body (pelvic
and leg) flows were increased in high flow POTS at all angles with
consequent lower body hypervolemia during tilt.
Our main finding is
selective and maintained orthostatic splanchnic arterial vasodilation in
normal flow POTS despite marked peripheral vasoconstriction in these
same patients. Local splanchnic vasoregulatory factors may counteract
vasoconstriction and venoconstriction in these patients. In addition
there was abnormal lower body vasoconstriction in high flow POTS and
unchanged vasoconstriction in low flow POTS which was sustained at
initially elevated supine levels.
Of interest is that analogous findings were found in normal flow POTS
patients during the Valsalva maneuver in which splanchnic pooling was
related closely to blunting of the splanchnic vasoconstrictor response.
These findings still hold. However, we currently subscribe to normal
flow POTS + high flow POTS as collectively comprising neurogenic POTS in
which regional denervation is key. Low flow POTS then corresponds to
hyperadrenergic POTS, in which the amounts or effects of norepinephrine,
both at the sinus node and in the peripheral circulation (kidney?
adrenal?) are amplified.We have rarely found increased supine
sympathetic activation.
The figure depicts
changes in mean arterial pressure (top panel) and heart rate (bottom
panel) during incremental upright tilt. Mean arterial pressure was
increased in low flow POTS at 20o and 35o upright
tilt. Heart rate was significantly increased at 35o and 70o
upright tilt.
The figure shows
percent changes in thoracic, splanchnic, pelvic, and leg blood volumes
during incremental upright tilt averaged over subject groups. Splanchnic
changes dominate normal flow POTS. Low flow POTS patients have
widespread blood collection. High flow POTS have blood pooling in the
lower body.
The figure shows
percent changes in segmental blood flow. From top down changes in
thoracic, splanchnic, pelvic and leg (calf) are shown in order. Blood
flow decreases for control in all segments. Blood flow does not change
in the splanchnic segment for normal flow POTS while leg blood flow is
markedly reduced. Blood flow does not change in the peripheral
circulation (pelvic and leg) for high flow POTS. There is uniformly
blunted blood flow changes in low flow POTS.

How much formula should you feed your baby?
I have a almost 5wk old and it seems he is so hungry that every three or four days we have been slightly increasing his formula. We are now up to 5ozs and I'm just wondering if this was the "right" thing to do....We have changed his formula because he was having issues with his poop being too hard and changed it to the Gentelease but now it seems it's not enough food ...like it's not holding him from being hungry...Does anyone have suggestions? This was supposed to help with gas and fussiness as well but I didn't see any change maybe for the worst but not for the good...Does anyone have suggestions?....Thanks! :)

Breast milk is the way to go if possible.posted 09/16/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
My 5 month old son drinks Enfamil Lipil formula liquid not powder. He drinks four bottles of 6-8 on average daily unless he's having a growth spurt or extra hungry (pretty rare). For breakfeast he also get a tablespoon of baby cereal with 4 tablespoons of milk in a bowl after he drinks his bottle. Then at either his second or third bottle I give him a couple spoonfuls of stage 1 fruits or veggie of the day. Sometimes at dinner he might get more cereal as well, if he's still hungry after drinking his bottle. I give him the Enfamil Lipil Ready to feed when I;m on the go. I tried giving him Enfamil Lipil prepackaged powder it went terribly bad he took one sip and would not drink it at all. The smell and consitency of it is very differnt from the can version. They don't smell pleasent but the powder reeked and tasted horrible. I can never swith to the powder I suppose.posted 09/14/2009 by MamaAlly2MR
my boy is 3months now, he was born at just about 36weeks, he staied in th NICU round 3weeks cuz of his weight(1kilo & 70grams)i used to pump from my breast to feed him cuz my nipple were to big to suck plus they fed him bibilac at th NICU if there wasnt enough, after we left th hospital i switched to similac advance & stopped pumpin' cuz i got high fever, then gass started anoying him & he bearly poops. so, mom told me to boil some kind of hurb just 1oz & not daily once every too days is enough, now we r up to 6oz some times he ask for another oz but i don't give him cuz its just to much cuz he vomites plus i know he just wants to suck till he sleeps, today i stared th NUK thing!!! am not sure if it works cuz he kinda spits it out maybe he's just not used to it yet... don't know!!?posted 08/05/2009 by Yummy =P~
convert your baby's weight into oz. then divide that # by 48. that is the amt in FLUID OUNCES of b-milk/formula that your baby should be getting every 3-4 hours.posted 06/18/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
Always check with your pediatrician, but my son was screaming 24/7 at 8 weeks we were switching formula for the 4th time, as per doctors orders. Gentlease made some change, but my son still screamed and too seemed like he was not getting enough. So at 8 weeks he was put on Soy formula. For some reason his system prefers the ready made soy formula, so that is what we go with and he is such a happy baby now! no more gas, vomitting and screaming!posted 05/20/2009 by mom9891093109
My son is 3 months old and had the same issue. He would eat every 1-2 hours during the day, so I started feeding him rice cereal before bed. Not only does he eat less often but he sleeps through the night. All I'd give him was a little bit in his bottle, enough to make it heavier, but that it would go through the nipple. I did that for a few days and then gave him about a tablespoon before bed, just make sure it's runnier than suggested, it can't be too thick. Hope that helps you, GOOD LUCK! Melissaposted 05/04/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
My dr told me to feed 4oz bottles more often if she was still hungry.. Not to increase the size of each bottle, it is better for the digestion... But I also agree with the general rule, of, 2.5 x Body weight... not sure till how old tho.. Mine is 6 months and is not really supposed to get more than 40 oz a day now... Hope that helps some..posted 04/21/2009 by lauraalicia
My baby is 12 weeks old and I went trough the same issues. Did you have a c-section??? C-section babies experience more issues with digestion than vaginal delivery. My pediatrician put him on a pro-biotic which seems to help a ton. He spaces out his eating more and has normal bowl movement. I would try a pro-biotic. You can find them at wholefoods. Just put it in their bottle once a day and you have to keep it refrigerated.posted 04/20/2009 by masonalansmama
I breastfed my daughter for 6 1/2 months and then I started her on Alimentum. I asked the doctor how much to give her and he told me to feed her on demand, she'll tell me when she's full. I usually start out with a 4oz. bottle every 3 hours and give her a few more ounces if she's still hungry. She eats solid foods every 5 hours with cereal, amd I give her formula when she's not getting solids.posted 04/20/2009 by removed_09-feb-2010 08:07:58 am
My son is 9 wks.old as of yesterday & he eats 8oz. of formula every 4 hours, but he also has cereal in his bottle at night. I started adding cereal at night because he was so hungry he couldn't sleep well. So now he sleeps 8 hours a night & wakes up happy & laughing. I'm a new mother but I think you have to follow your instincts. My son is happy & healthy & the doctor told me he was in perfect health! There's not much more I could ask for! I say mother knows best...follow what your baby is telling you & let your instincts do the rest.posted 04/16/2009 by Harleymom276

Mother Teresa right about abortion
An unborn baby is not a choice; it's a child. It's a child who has a heartbeat 18 days after conception. It's a child created by God himself for our pleasure and his.
Recently, I read the story of Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Mother Teresa's speciality was love, not politics or social philosophy. When an issue did concern her, she spoke forcefully.
"A child is a gift of God," she told anyone who would listen. "if you do not want him, give him to me, I will look after him. But don't murder him!"
I don't think I could have said it any better myself.

Illegal drugs big business in Tri-State
I had no idea the revenue certain people in Huntington were making due to "travel/tourism." Before you start thinking too hard about what I am referring to, I will admit I am being facetious. It seems like far too many people are making money on the never-ending drug problem in Huntington and the surrounding area.
I happen to live near one of those so-called "sober living" half-way houses. They seem to be operated with no rules. There are numerous drug deals made, impaired inhabitants and it appears more like a brothel. Women live with these men day in and day out. It is more like a "Frat House" for the "non-collegiate" least likely to succeed.
I think the police and the mayor need to visit an ophthalmologist, or invest in service animals (maybe they could sniff things out a little better).

Hankins enchanted with Obamas
In a recent letter, retired minister Milt Hankins of Ashland, Ky., said Obama deserved all of his vacations. He also said that the president and First Lady were the hardest-working couple in decades in the White House.
Please, Mr Hankins, spare me your drivel.
I, unlike you and Chris Mathews, don't get a chill up my leg when the name Obama is mentioned. Rather, I always feel a bit of nausea.

University of Texas Energy Institute Director Ray Orbach has gone on the record to say a controversial study on fracking would have noted that lead author Charles "Chip" Groat is member of an oil and gas company's board of directors, had he known about it.
However, three days after the report came under intense public scrutiny, the document remains on the Energy Institute's website with no acknowledgment Groat is a paid board member of a company that engages in the practice.
(Groat, an associate director with UT's Energy Institute has been on Houston-based Plains Exploration & Production Co.'s board for several years. Groat was paid $413,900 in cash and stock by the company in 2011, according to SEC filings reviewed by the American-Statesman, more than twice his UT salary, and holds $1.6 million in company stock. Groat had neither told his supervisors at the Energy Institute about that position nor disclosed it in the fracking study.)
"We don't want to do anything that would jeopardize this external, independent review that is going on. We're going to sit tight until that panel is formed and make a judgment after we've checked with them," UT spokeswoman Tara Doolittle said.

Apron Strings - A New Chapter in our Lives
When I started the blog I was giving cookery classes, from my kitchen, so this was a wonderful way to bring together my love of writing with my passion for food. I started to write for the Westmeath Independent and Easy Parenting also blogging events were now becoming a regular occurrence. I was busy, but the dream of finishing my book or starting a new one was always lurking at the back of my mind. Then out of the blue, earlier this year, I received an e-mail from Eoin Purcell, the commissioning editor at New Island, querying if I had possibly thought about writing a cookbook. To say that I was over excited was an understatement. We met the following week and I've been stuck into writing the book ever since. It's a book that is mostly recipe based but is supported by everything that is part of my everyday life.
The name of my book will be Apron Strings. A name that Diarmuid, my husband, came up with and I instantly fell in love with it. Even though the past few months have been extremely busy for me, and the rest of the family, I've thoroughly enjoying all the writing and the photography{above being one of those photos}, so I sincerely hope that you will all enjoy reading it too. I'm at a very exciting stage as I almost have the manuscript complete, but I still have a bunch of photos left to take. Thank you to all of you who read the blog and to my blogging friends, you give me such great support. This is truly a dream come true for me.
Apron Strings will be on the shelves of book stores {and the boot of my car}, from April 2013.

Sta-Prest (a stylized rendering of "stay pressed") is a brand of wrinkle-resistant trousers produced by Levi Strauss & Co., beginning in 1964.
These products are marketed as wearable straight out of the dryer, with no need for ironing. The trousers were especially popular among British mods of the mid 1960s and skinheads of the late 1960s (as well as among traditionalist skinheads and mod revivalists of later decades). Vintage pairs of Sta-Prest trousers have become collector's items. Other companies, such as Lee and Wrangler, produced similar styles of trousers during that same period. Lee's version was called Lee Prest, which came in similar colors and patterns as Sta-Prest; although they were much slimmer and tapered. Decades later, Merc started marketing a brand called Sta Press.

I love this chain...it is so useful in so many designs. The only downside is that it is really hard to get and goes out of stock quickly. The stores never carry more than 3 or 4 at a time and I use SO much more than that!

Ishida Demonstrates Packing Line Solutions
The integrated weighing and tray sealing system enables both fresh and frozen products to be handled with excellent line efficiency. Output is up to 120 trays per minute, with minimal waste.
The system combines Ishida's high speed RS-216 multihead weigher with the company's award winning QX-1100 tray sealer. The RS-216 delivers products in accurate and consistent portions to a sophisticated tray tracking and filling system, which deposits the portions neatly into the trays. The filled trays are then sealed by the QX-1100 tray sealer, which features double-track configuration and the use of servo motors to ensure maximum efficiency. In addition, sealing can be carried out with an inside cut profile to enhance pack presentation.
Further benefits of the line are low manpower and maintenance requirements, and close to zero downtime levels.
Ishida's new range of 'Screw Feed' multihead weighers, have been developed for the fully automatic handling of fresh, sticky products such as meat, poultry and seafood.
Because of the very sticky nature of these products, most current weighing systems are either manual or based on a linear design that relies on operators to direct and control the supply and flow of product. The Ishida Screw Feed design, by comparison, utilises the familiar circular multihead weigher layout but incorporates unique rotating corkscrews to replace the traditionally used radial feed troughs. The use of these screws provides a powerful, controlled and fully automatic product feed to the pool and weigh hoppers.
Using Ishida's latest advanced R series weighing technology, weighing speeds and accuracy show an improvement of approximately 20% compared with the best linear weighing systems.
The new Ishida Data Capture System (IDCS), which can link up to 100 of the company's DACS checkweighers, is a user-friendly, secure software programme that offers an extensive range of reporting options to enable production managers to employ state-of-the-art monitoring for legislative compliance whilst also identifying cost saving opportunities, minimising product giveaway and improving production efficiencies.
Data can be analysed by batch, shift, operator, product or machine, with fully customised reports, and is accessed either on-site or remotely using secure Ethernet connections.
The Ishida IX-GA X-ray system is ideal for detecting foreign bodies – including aluminium, tin, glass, stones, hard rubber, plastic, bones and shells – in a variety of packed and unpacked fresh food products including meat, poultry, fish and ready meals, as well as dry and frozen foods.
Ishida's unique self-learning Genetic Algorithm (GA) technology offers maximum detection sensitivity and reliability. The machine can detect impurities down to 0.3mm in size and can also spot missing items or damaged products.

First Hearing on New Bill to Expand Medicaid Underway
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) – The first hearing on the new bill to expand Medicaid coverage is taking place. The bill Democratic House Speaker Mark Eves presented to the Health and Human Services Committee Wednesday is similar to last year's expansion bill, which is designed to get GOP lawmakers on board. Eves says the bill includes a sunset provision allowing the state to withdraw from the federal program after three years, when the federal government begins to gradually lower its share of the cost from 100 percent to no less than 90 percent. But Republican Gov. Paul LePage, who vetoed the expansion last year, is pointing to a recent report commissioned by the administration that says the expansion will cost the state $807 million over the next decade.

Update on fainting spells
So! Good news thus far on the internet hunt for answers...I have yet to come accross a forum where parents swap stories or support each other, but hopefully I'll find one soon. Even ONE other parent for me to talk to about it would be helpful! Oh, and, while linked occasionally with other, more serious heart or other conditions, Matthew has none of the symptoms associated with these more serious conditions, and BHS is usually harmless.
Interestingly, 17% of kids with pallid BHS are prone to fainting as adults...not BHS, but fainting for other reasons. By the age of 7 or 8 virtually all kids with BHS stop, thus 'growing out of it.'
Also, iron deficiency has been linked with some cases and treatment (iron supplements) improves the condition for those children.
You never know when you may need this info. Plus, I thought you may be interested. I'll still bring him to our doctor, but it's reassuring to know we're not alone.

I care, I care! I just have never heard of anyone doing this so I didn't have any advice. Sounds like you found some solid info from a reliable source...hopefully Matthew does grow out of it and I was also surprised on high the % was.

let's go with option number 2. care but don't have anything to add about breath-holding. not being a parent myself, I don't have any experience with that.
or option 3: checks blogs every two or three days, rather than daily/several times daily, and didn't spot the post yet.
i've had kids make themselves throw up, had kids headhunting other kids for revenge, kids who think sharing means "you have to give me your toys" and a bloody lot of whining, and even a pair of boys who peed on each other (one thought it would be funny, the other retaliated), but no breath-holding.
glad to hear it's really a normal trait. next, good luck with your monster.

Hey Melissa!!
I have never had anyone I know of go through this so I never posted....I was hoping you'd get some answers!!
Good for you for doing such in-depth research!! Now I'm sure you feel much better and know a bit more how to handle those situations!

Lewis Bowling: NCCU's athletic tradition among richest in N.C.
North Carolina Central University has a rich athletic history, both in terms of team and individual accomplishments.
A short list of the great athletes connected to NCCU will ultimately leave out many deserving name, but hopefully the following names will remind area college sports fans that NCCU stands proudly as a university in athletics along with academics.
Leroy Walker was simply one of the best men to ever call Durham home. His list of honors and accomplishments are far too numerous to try to list in one column, but Dr. Walker was a longtime NCCU track coach, head coach of the United States Olympic track team in 1976, chairman of the United States Olympic Committee and NCCU Chancellor.
The Leroy T. Walker Physical Education and Recreation Complex on the NCCU campus bears his name.
John McLendon was the basketball coach at NCCU from 1940 to 1952, and won 264 games with only 60 losses. His first NCCU team was voted "Negro National Champions" by the Associated Negro Press in 1941 and his name now adorns NCCU's McDougal-McLendon Gymnasium at NCCU. McLendon also became the first black coach in a professional basketball league when he was named head coach of the Cleveland Pipers of the American basketball League in 1961 and was the first black coach of a predominantly white college when he was named head coach at Cleveland State in 1966. He later was head coach of the Denver Rockets in the American Basketball Association.
Herman Riddick, after playing football at NCCU in the early 1930s, became head coach at Hillside High in Durham and built a powerhouse of a program that may be unrivaled in North Carolina. In ten seasons at Hillside, Coach Riddick compiled a record of 82-3-5 that included eight state championships. Riddick then kept up his winning ways in a 20 season career at NCCU, where he was 112-56-11. O'Kelly-Riddick Stadium is now the home of the NCCU Eagles.
From 1952 to 1956 Lee Calhoun was one of the nation's outstanding track athletes at NCCU, and he won a gold medal in the 110-meter high hurdles in both the 1956 and 1960 Olympic games. Calhoun is now enshrined in the U.S. National Track and Field Hall of Fame.
In the mid-1950s John Baker was an intimidating presence on the NCCU football team, and went on to play in the NFL for 12 years. Known as "Big John," he stood 6-foot-6 inches and weighed 280 pounds. He served more than 20 years as Wake County Sheriff after his pro football retirement and reports are that crime went down on Big John's watch.
Herman "Ike" Boone was an NCCU graduate who led T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia, a racially divided school, to a 13-0 record and the state football title in 1971. A movie, "Remember The Titans" starring Denzel Washington, was made about Coach Boone's team.
Willie Bradshaw, known by most everyone around Durham as a man who positively impacts many young lives, played football and baseball at NCCU. He later was longtime Durham City Schools' athletic director.
Winning All-Conference honors in football at NCCU from 1974 to 1976, Louis Breeden went on to play 10 seasons in the NFL, and was a starting cornerback in the 1982 Super Bowl with the Cincinnati Bengals.
After being named an All-American in football at NCCU in 1988, Robert Massey played 10 seasons as a defensive back in the NFL, making the 1992 Pro Bowl. Massey later came back to NCCU as an assistant football coach and is now the head man at Shaw University.
After serving in World War II and being awarded 3 bronze stars, Robert "Stonewall" Jackson played football at North Carolina A&T. He then became the first black football player from a historically black college to be drafted by the NFL, as the New York Giants did in 1950. Jackson scored two touchdowns for the Giants in his rookie season. Later in his life Jackson served NCCU in many capacities, among them as a football coach and physical education teacher for many years.
Elisha Marshall was NCCU's first female national champion when she won the NCAA Division II 100-meter dash in 1998. Von Fulmore had perhaps the greatest single game in NCCU women's basketball history in 1986 when she scored 41 points and grabbed 32 rebounds in a game against UNC Asheville. For that season, Fulmore averaged 25 points and 18 rebounds a game.
Michelle Harrison ranks as one of the beat all-round athletes in NCCU history. Harrison was all-conference and all-American in basketball in the late 1990s, along with being named conference player of the year in softball. She was also on the conference all-academic team.
Charles Foster finished fourth in the high hurdles at the 1976 Olympic games, just missing a medal. He was NCAA hurdles champion at NCCU. Charles "Tex" Harrison played basketball at NCCU from 1950 to 1954 and then became a player and later coach for the Harlem Globetrotters. Doug Wilkerson was an all-American football player at NCCU in 1969 and was drafted in the first round by the Houston Oilers. Wilkerson went on to play in several Pro Bowls with the San Diego Chargers.
In 1950 Harold Hunter, star basketball player from NCCU, became the first black man to sign an NBA contract when he was signed by the Washington Capitals. Hunter later became a very successful head coach at Tennessee State University and was named to the staff of the 1968 Olympic basketball team, becoming the first black man so honored.
There is no question, worthy names are left off this list simply because of limited space. But as you can see, NCCU has an athletic tradition to rival any college in the nation, and that legacy continues today. One of the biggest wins in school history was head coach Levelle Moton's men's basketball team's victory over N.C. State earlier this season.
And Monday's overtime win over Savannah State gave Moton's Eagles their first Mid-East Athletic Conference regular-season championship since joining NCAA Division I.

The team has been competing for only two years, but already the members of the Buckhorn Middle School Archery team can say they're on one of the ten best teams in the country. The Bucks placed eighth in the middle division at the year's national archery tournament in Louisville, Kentucky.
"I think we knew that we would be successful when we went," said eighth grade archer Cole Coultas, "but I don't think we knew that we would be at the caliber that we were doing that well, so we've come a long way from the beginning of the year."
"I've been really bragging about it to my family, my friends, it's a really cool experience to place eighth at nationals," said eighth grade archer Hayley Hendrix.
"I was really proud of them," said head coach Melanie Coultas. "I have nothing but great praises for them."
Not only did the team take home an eighth place finish, but it shot its best score of the season with a team score of 3,310.
"That's been our goal all season and when they went to nationals, they achieved that goal," said Melanie.
During the season, the team practices two days a week, but most of the archers do extra work on their own time.
"We just put a lot of hard work into it and gave it a lot of effort and get results," said Cole.
"I think they have a really good attitude and they get in here and practice hard and like I said," said Melanie. "They support each other and we get a lot of support here at the school."
The Bucks now have even higher expectations for next season.
"It's basically on next year," said Hendrix. "We're going to do a lot better, but we did really good this year and I expect us to do so much better next year."
Twenty-four of the 33 members of the Buckhorn Middle School team competed in Kentucky. The Bucks' eighth-place finish was out of 130 middle school teams. Overall the national tournament set a new record with nearly 8,000 students competing.

McGavock Cemetery
More than 1,400 Southern soldiers are buried in the McGavock Confederate Cemetery near the Carnton mansion.
Strolling the cemetery
Visitors to the Carnton Plantation often stroll through the tombstones.
McGavock Cemetery in 1866
Neat rows mark the graves of Confederate soldiers killed in the Battle of Franklin.
Remembered annually
Memorial services are held each June, under the auspices of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
Soldiers Gathered from Battlefield Graves
After the Battle of Franklin, dead Confederates were generally buried in groups and individually on the battlefield. Many of the graves were marked with boards on which were carved or written the soldiers' names, and sometimes their units. Some were buried in nearby homes' private cemeteries, gardens and yards. A few were taken to their homes for reburial. But most were left in their battlefield graves.
The temporary grave markers steadily deteriorated in the rain, snow and heat of the changing seasons, and they began to disappear. It was clear the names would be lost and the graves eventually forgotten. In 1866, John McGavock and others in the Franklin area organized a campaign to raise money for transferring the Confederate dead to a new cemetery. McGavock provided two acres adjacent to his family cemetery, behind Carnton, and men were hired to dig up and relocate the Confederates' remains. Work began in April 1866, and Caroline "Carrie" McGavock kept a record book of the reburials. She included any information still legible on the original grave markers or information recovered with the remains.
Soldiers who could be identified by their home states were buried together. In a separate area were buried 225 unidentified soldiers whose home states could not be determined. The relocation project ended in June 1866. The remains of 1,487 Confederate soldiers were in the new cemetery, and whitewashed headboards marked their graves.
Later, an iron fence was built around the graveyard. It was the idea of Mary H. Gay of Macon, Georgia. Shortly after the war, Mary traveled to Franklin to visit the grave of her beloved half brother, Lt. Tom Stokes of the 10th Texas. As she looked at the neat rows of wooden grave markers, she realized the little memorials to Southern soldiers who died at Franklin needed protection, and she launched a determined fund-raising drive. Most of the money came from Texas.
Who else is buried in the cemetery?
Though the cemetery was created for Confederates killed or mortally wounded at Franklin, other soldiers are buried there, too.
About 24 soldiers who were mortally wounded at the Battle of Nashville in December 1864 are in the cemetery, plus some who were killed in a skirmish in Franklin in 1863.
The only general in the cemetery is Johnson K. Duncan, who died of fever in Knoxville in 1862. His widow, for unknown reasons, asked the McGavocks for permission to have his remains transferred to the cemetery at Carnton. Battle of Franklin researcher Tim Burgess says the reburial was before 1870.
Burgess also found in his research that about a dozen Confederate veterans were buried in the cemetery after the war, and some markers in the cemetery are for men whose remains were removed and buried elsewhere, including the colonel of the 1st Georgia and Colonel Jones of the 24th South Carolina, who was taken home for reburial.
In 1890 the soldiers' whitewashed wooden markers were replaced by stone markers.
Over the years after the relocation project veterans wrote to the McGavocks and offered information that helped identify some of the remains.
Carrie McGavock's record book was kept in the family until 1989, when her great-great-granddaughters presented it to Carnton. (Carrie was the inspiration for Widow of the South, the best-selling novel by Robert Hicks.)
Extensive work was done on the cemetery in 1996 and 1997. Changes included restoration and repair of headstones and the iron rail fence.
Memorial services are held at the cemetery every June, under the auspices of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Franklin Chapter 14, which owns the cemetery.
Adjacent to the Confederate graveyard is the McGavock family cemetery. Randal and Sarah McGavock, John and Carrie McGavock, three of their children and about a score of McGavock relatives are buried there. Two sharecropper's children also are buried there, and it is thought McGavock slaves are buried under the sandstone markers in the west end of the cemetery.
Buried almost adjacent to the McGavock family section is Marcellus Cuppet, 25, who died in 1866 while working on the reburial project. He is sometimes erroneously identified as a former slave.

Falcons Return to Action with Friday Night Fights
Jan. 11, 2013
USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - With all but one bout going to the distance, the Air Force boxing team returned to action with a strong series of Friday Night Fights on Jan. 11. In the squad's first round of action in 2013, Denis Vorobyov was named the Academy's Boxer of the Week.
Vorobyov claimed a hard-fought 178-pound decision over Logan Brandt, using intense pressure, good speed and solid combinations to keep his opponent off balance.
In the lightest bout of the night, Drew Pineda defeated Michael Magtalas at 128 pounds. The Falcons' team captain, who moved up two weight classes for Friday's contest, used experience, conditioning and skill to control the bout from start to finish. Will Petersen picked up a 144-pound decision over Ethan Salgado, using an effective jab and devastating left hook to outpoint his classmate.
In the 132-pound contest, Roy Taylor defeated Peter Coote for the second time this season, while Glenn Miltenberg decisioned Kyle Gladney at 161 pounds. Shane Riley picked up his first FNF win by outpointing Josh Burdett in the 176-pound weight class.
A pair of Falcons picked up victories in the 168-pound weight class, as Will Denger and Brandon Pitts picked up decisions over Jonathan Monsalve and Nicholas Holguin, respectively. Also claiming decisions were Justin Smith (177 pounds, Chris Nelson), Derek Demyanek (182 pounds, Collin Fleck), Jacob Berggren (133 pounds, Mohamed El Ghodhbane), Ronald Malloy (155 pounds, Ryan Kissinger), Shawn Lovett (165 pounds, Keith Sasine) and Philip Mays (188 pounds, Matt Jones).
In the only bout of night that didn't go to the final bell, Zac Spranger defeated Aaron Oats in a referee stopped contest (second round).
The Falcons close out the Friday Night Fights portion of the season next week (Jan. 18) at 4:30 p.m.
