Watch the new Mini Cooper make jet-powered waves at its resort reveal
A video or other embedded content has been hidden. Click here to view it.
Those of us in the car reviewing business are accustomed to launches being accompanied by a touch of fanfare, like when the 2014 Mercedes S-Class drove out of a 787 in a German blimp hangar, or when Fiat brought out Romanian supermodel Catrinel Menghia, star of their famously sexy commercials for the Fiat 500 Abarth — in character — who proceeded to slap a photographer as she did in one of the commercials (per the photographer's request, of course).
Such was the case at this week's global first drive program for the 2015 Mini Cooper in Puerto Rico, which started out innocently enough; balmy beachfront setting, 2015 Mini Cooper staged on a floating dock, smiling (and very talented) singer saunters out to warm up the crowd. I whip out my phone to record an isn't-this-cute video to send to family and friends, and then, as you'll see, it becomes something of a spectacle.
For his part, the driver of the wayward Cooper seems to play along as he bobs up and down on the thrashing dock, blinking his lights to the music — or is he sending a distress signal? — and no one seems to be any the wiser.

A raccoon with a taste for peanut butter found itself in a sticky situation.
But, thanks to an avid wildlife lover, her dogs and a family friend, the little guy waddled away none the worse for the wearing of the jar on its head.
Jennifer Segrest, accompanied by her dogs Xena and Gigi, were on their regular morning walk Thursday on Highland Colony Parkway near Madison Central High School. Xena sniffed out a young raccoon and alerted Segrest, who found it with a plastic peanut butter jar jammed on its head. ...

Almost from the time of their inception in 2001, and certainly since the team reformed in 2011 after a two-year hiatus, the Rochester Rattlers have had a difficult time attracting fans to Sahlens Stadium.
As a result, the Rattlers are going to play at least two of their seven home games at neutral sites this season as Major League Lacrosse explores new markets for potential expansion.
The first of these "test" games will be played Saturday, April 27 in St. Petersburg, Fla. when the Rattlers host the 2012 MLL champion Chesapeake Bayhawks. And on Friday, June 7, the Rattlers will meet the Boston ...

It's also not necessarily "efficient" - it just loads the classes and uses reflection to find matching annotations. To prevent long startup times, it's better to be very specific in the pattern that you tell it to match - if you pass it a package path that contains a bunch of classes, it will take time to scan all of them.

Jay Cutler hasn't won in Denver, and his trade demand brings questions about his attitude. (Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
ALLEN PARK -- Right player, right price.
That's the front-office motto at Lions headquarters. Add a question mark and it's also what Martin Mayhew & Co. might be asking themselves as they contemplate a bid for one of the NFL's top young quarterbacks, Jay Cutler, who has formally requested a trade from Denver.
The Broncos, for what it's worth, are telling teams their Pro Bowl problem child isn't for sale. And I'm clearly in the dwindling minority in thinking there's a decent chance Cutler stays put, perhaps with a generous raise.
But what if Cutler and his agent, Bus Cook, who has had a hand in steering this relationship over the cliff with rookie coach Josh McDaniels, get their way?
Do the Lions jump right in and help break Cutler's fall?
The fans say, unequivocally, yes. I say, buyer beware, and not just for the obvious reasons.
It's not the public pouting that commenced once word leaked McDaniels was entertaining trade offers to snag Matt Cassel, his quarterback in New England. It's not even necessarily Cutler's 17-20 record as a starter, capped by last season's December collapse, though I do think that's a red flag.
I'm also willing to ignore the petulance of the last few weeks -- not returning his owner's calls, skipping the start of offseason workouts -- because I don't buy it. I think it's simply an agent-fueled means to an end for Cutler, forcing his way out of a situation he decided he no longer wanted to be a part of, right or wrong.
And given Cook's track record -- Brett Favre's offseason angst is only the most recent example -- I think Cutler knows where he'd like to end up. The New York Jets? Tampa Bay? Just a guess, but Detroit's probably not at the top of the list, even though one of Cook's other high-profile clients just happens to be Calvin Johnson.
Cutler will want contract
Asked Wednesday whose passes he wanted to catch in the fall, Johnson started laughing.
"You guys are a trip, man," he said. "Daunte (Culpepper) is our starter right now and we're working with Daunte and we're going 110 percent every day."
Another minority opinion: This Culpepper reclamation project isn't a complete waste of time. He's only 32, finally in shape, motivated, a leader and comfortable in offensive coordinator Scott Linehan's system. The knocks on him are valid -- he's four years removed from any real success in the NFL, and he's not exactly a whiz at reading defenses. But neither is Cutler, from what I can see, nor Matthew Stafford, whom I don't think the Lions will draft No. 1 overall. (Right now, it's looking more like Baylor offensive tackle Jason Smith.)
But here's the thing: Culpepper's not getting paid like Cutler or Stafford would be in Detroit. And if you don't think Cutler's going to get a new contract in the end, you're ignoring the past.
And that's my point: The Lions should tread lightly here, so as to avoid their own past.
Stick to the plan
Cutler in a Lions uniform next fall, new logo and all? It's tempting. But the Lions have given in to temptation before, routinely veering off course at great cost. And if there's one promise they'd better keep, it's this one.
"Where teams get in trouble and where organizations get in trouble," team president Tom Lewand said in late December, "is where they deviate from their core principles and their core philosophy."
So if the plan is to build through the draft -- and build in the trenches, where I can count on two or three fingers the number of starters under the age of 30 -- they'd better stick to it.
And if it's really going to take a package of draft choices, like the 20th and 33rd next month -- remember, the No. 1 pick is more poison pill than carrot -- plus another pick next year in lieu of a starting-caliber player, then I think the Lions should pass.
At that price -- essentially trading three starters for one on a roster starving for more -- why not just draft Stafford and start grooming? He has the same arm, many of the same flaws, and he just might have more intangibles.
Now then, if the price isn't that high -- and we might get a better sense when the NFL owners meetings begin Sunday in Dana Point, Calif. -- it's obviously worth a shot. And if we've learned anything in Mayhew's short tenure as general manager, it's that he's not shy about talking trade.
But talk is cheap, and mistakes aren't in the NFL. The Lions should understand that better than most.

Iran's Chief Negotiator
Surprise, surprise: He has a long record of double-dealing.
Dec 2, 2013, Vol. 19, No. 12 • By CLAUDIA ROSETT
Along with President Hassan Rouhani, Iran's foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is yet another arrow in the quiver of the Islamic Republic's charm offensive. The chief negotiator at Geneva over Iran's nuclear weapons program, Zarif was schooled in the United States, is fluent in English, and exudes a polished manner befitting a veteran diplomat who served from 2002-2007 as U.N. ambassador. During his posting in New York, he met with a number of senior U.S. politicians, including future vice president Joe Biden and future secretary of defense Chuck Hagel (both then senators), and impressed them as someone they could do business with. He's "pragmatic," said Biden, "not dogmatic." The courtship continues. After meeting with Zarif in September, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, told Time magazine last month, "He doesn't play games."
650 Fifth Avenue; Mohammad Javad Zarif
U.S. federal court documents say otherwise. While Zarif was beguiling lawmakers, he was violating U.S. sanctions and funneling millions of dollars into Iran's state-owned Bank Melli, designated by the Treasury Department for its role in Iranian nuclear proliferation. Known as the Alavi case, this scheme ranks as the biggest money-laundering operation involving U.N. diplomats since Saddam Hussein's oil-for-food program, and Zarif is in the middle of it.
The Alavi case attracted the serious attention of U.S. authorities while Zarif was serving in New York. The Manhattan district attorney's office dug into it, then federal authorities took over. After almost five years of court proceedings, a ruling issued in September in the United States District Court for the southern district of New York paved the way for what U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara described as "the largest-ever terrorism-related forfeiture," including a 36-story office tower in midtown Manhattan, at 650 Fifth Avenue. Referred to in court documents as "the Building," the skyscraper was constructed in the 1970s by the shah of Iran's Pahlavi Foundation and financed by Bank Melli. Following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the new government in Tehran took control of the building and the bank, hiding its role behind a nest of front corporations.
The public face of the operation was a Manhattan-based tax-exempt foundation now known as the Alavi Foundation. Officially dedicated to spreading Persian culture and Islamic teachings, Alavi collected millions annually in office rents from the building, and doled out money across the United States and Canada. Funds were distributed to Islamic community centers and Farsi-language schools; grants were given to universities, including Harvard and McGill, and interest-free loans to deserving students. However, investigators also discovered "money going overseas to suspect people," as former Manhattan district attorney Robert Morgenthau testified in 2009 at a Senate hearing chaired by then-senator, now secretary of state, John Kerry.
The Alavi Foundation claims no wrongdoing, and is filing to appeal the forfeiture of 650 Fifth Avenue and some related properties. The court alleges that Alavi was managing the building for the Iranian government and transferring funds to Bank Melli. The court also found that the co-owner of the Alavi building, the Assa Corporation, "was (and is) a front for Bank Melli, and thus a front for the Government of Iran."
Indeed, Treasury had already designated the Assa Corporation a front for Bank Melli in 2008. Treasury's then undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence Stuart Levey described Assa's funneling money to Bank Melli as a "dangerous mix of proliferation and deception." And Bank Melli itself, Treasury's statement read, had been designated for "its role in Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs" and for providing "banking services to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Qods Force"—the IRGC's external operations unit and behind many of Iran's most notorious terrorist operations.

If you take all the technology and innovation that's packed into much of the AV gear these days, how the gear functions basically comes down to theories, developments, and contributions from Benjamin Franklin and Nikola Tesla. As we get more dependent on technology, and as it becomes more prevalent in our daily lives, electrical power is the lifeblood that's needed to keep the wheels of industry turning, keep us connected to the rest of the world, and keep us entertained. Think back to when you may have experienced a power failure and realized just how much we rely on electrically powered devices. The electrical power that we use to operate AV systems, home theaters, digital signage networks, and command and control centers can be rife with AC fluctuations, spikes, and other anomalies, which can result, in the worst case, in damage of the sometimes delicate equipmentor at least its malfunction.
|Related Links
Enter power conditioners. Designed for smoothing out the fluctuations, taming the spikes, and cleaning up the abnormalities, these systems have become more popular and necessary to help AV equipment perform at its peak and keep it safe from harm.
The majority of the systems are primarily aimed at the high-end home theater or audiophile markets with some systems designed for use in pro AV or recording applications. Some manufacturers also feature larger, wall-mount systems for whole house or large system applications.
Power conditioners to the people

|A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess Whether Antibiotic Administration Should Be Recommended During Office Operative Hysteroscopy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23232966 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|We did a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to assess the incidence of infectious complications and the protective effect of antibiotic administration during operative hysteroscopic procedures in an office setting. A total of 1046 consecutively enrolled women with intrauterine lesions were randomly allocated to the reference group (523 patients administered with 1 g of cefazolin intramuscularly) and the study group (523 patients administered with 10 mL of isotonic sodium chloride solution), and treated in office setting by operative hysteroscopy for endometrial polypectomy, uterine septa, submucosal myomas, and intrauterine adhesions. The primary outcome measure was the computation of difference between groups in postsurgical infectious complications occurring in the 5 days after the procedures. The time spent in performing the various procedures did not differ significantly (P > .05) between the groups. With respect to the overall rate of postsurgical infection, we found that 12 (1.15%) of 1046 patients referred with symptoms related to infective complications, 7 (1.3% of 523 women) in the study-untreated-group and 5 (1.0% of 523 women) in the reference group. Such incidences did not differ significantly between the groups (P > .05). Antibiotics were prescribed in all cases of postsurgical infection and the infective process resolved in few days. None of these patients developed serious infections with adnexal involvement, as confirmed by clinical and ultrasounds evaluation. The results of the current study would support the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommendation not to prescribe routine antibiotic administration in the case of hysteroscopic surgery.

NBA draft expert: Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart staying in school helps guards like Baylor's Pierre Jackson
Before Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart decided to forgo the NBA draft and stay in school, he was the consensus No. 1 point guard. Now that he'll remain a Cowboy for another season, other point guards could sneak into the first round of the NBA draft.
One of those point guards who benefits from Smart's decision is Baylor's Pierre Jackson. He's name is now being mentioned as a possible late first round pick.
ESPN's Chad Ford even has him as the No. 27 player on his big board, ahead of former projected lottery pick Tony Mitchell of the University of North Texas.
Here's what Ford had to say about Jackson.
'Jackson might be small, but he's a ridiculous athlete who can score from anywhere on the floor. And man, did he finish the season strong, averaging 19.6 PPG and 11 APG in leading Baylor to the NIT championship. Other small point guards like Myck Kabongo and Phil Pressey also are in the mix here with Jackson, but a number of scouts have mentioned Jackson as a potential first-round pick.'

A judge sentenced a woman to 20 years in prison Friday for killing her 6-week-old daughter with what prosecutors say was an overdose of morphine delivered through her breast milk.
A prosecutor said Stephanie Greene, 39, was a nurse and knew the dangers of taking painkillers while pregnant and breast feeding, instead choosing to conceal her pregnancy from doctors so she could keep getting her prescriptions. She lost her nursing license in 2004 for trying to get drugs illegally.
Greene's lawyer said she was only trying to stop debilitating pain from a car crash more than a decade before and relied on her own judgment and medical research on the Internet instead of the advice of doctors and is still overwhelmed with grief from the loss of her child.
The 20-year sentence was the minimum after a jury found Greene guilty of homicide by child abuse Friday. She could have faced life behind bars. Greene will have to serve 16 years before she is eligible for parole

What should I bring with me to the hospital on delivery day?
We recommend that you bring a labor bag that contains socks/slippers, lotion, focal point, two pillows, telephone numbers, cd's, camera- extra batteries, pen and paper, lollipops, lip balm, toothbrush, pediatrician's name and contact information, baby book with page to record footprints, hair ties or clips, tennis ball in a sock for massage, aromatherapy item.
Your coach/partner should bring a cooler with snack, soda, juice; Tylenol or any of their own medication as needed (ie. insulin, etc.), and Ipod or cell phone chargers. In your suitcase, you should have personal items such as a brush, comb, toothbrush and toothpaste; bra (nursing bra if breastfeeding); underpants; slippers and bathrobe; two or three nightgowns; and loose (maternity) clothes to wear home.
For your baby, you should bring: an outfit for the trip home; undershirt; receiving blanket; warm hat and cover if the weather is cooler; and a car seat that you've practiced putting into car Hopefully this is helpful, we want you to be comfortable so please bring anything else that may add to your comfort.
If I am already overweight and plan on having a baby, what is the quickest way to lose weight?
More and more scientific evidence is showing that being in the best health possible before pregnancy may have significant impacts on the baby. It is a great idea to be an appropriate weight for your height or a BMI of <25.0(body mass index). Unfortunately, there is no quick way to lose lots of weight. Weight loss is simply eating less calories than what you need for individual growth, activity and exercise. However, we all know that it is not that simple.There are many commercial weight loss plans/programs that may help you lose weight. Chances are you will lose weight as long as you follow their low calorie plan and/or increase your exercise to burn more calories than you eat. However, try to remember a few points. You must make lifestyle changes including eating lower calorie, more healthful foods such as low solid fat and low sugary foods, more vegetables and fruits and whole grains, and keeping up with regular moderately intense daily exercise. If these changes are not made then you may initially lose weight and then sooner or later re-gain the weight and maybe even more. This type of up and down weight loss and gain may be more harmful than good.
Three weeks ago, I bled and they checked the baby and he is fine. Now I'm getting discharge that's brown. I'm not sure what that means. Can you tell me what that means?
The brown discharge is most likely old blood that is left over from the original bleed. This is not concerning as long as the baby is moving well. If you experience any bright red bleeding, regular cramping or contractions or leaking of fluid (membrane rupture), you should return to see your doctor.
What should I be expecting if I'm between six to seven weeks pregnant?
Six to seven weeks is a time when you may not notice any changes at all even though you are pregnant - except you should be missing your period. The other symptoms that you may notice now - or soon - are some mild lower belly pain, nausea at any time (not just in the morning), headaches, fatigue, emptying your bladder more often, and some increase in the size of your breasts or just some breast tingling or tightness.
How do I breastfeed properly? And does it hurt when the baby sucks on my nipple?
Learning to breastfeed successfully can be a challenge for both mother and baby. Initially, it may be difficult to figure out which position works best for you and baby or if your baby is getting enough nutrition. Whatever position seems to be the best for you will be the one in which you do not experience pain or pinching at the breast but rather a gentle tugging sensation. Whenever a latch is painful or if you experience damage to your nipples, you will need some outside help from a health professional that specializes in breastfeeding. Certified lactation consultants can work with you and your baby to achieve breastfeeding success. If you are struggling with breastfeeding, help is always available through phone advice from the Warm Line and by scheduling an appointment with a lactation consultant.
My tubes have been tied for 13 years. Can I still have a baby?
The only way to have a baby after your tubes have been tied is through IVF or by getting your tubes surgically re-opened. You have to check with your insurance company to see if either of these procedures would be covered by your plan. Unfortunately, many women have to pay for these procedures themselves in this particular situation.
I am about three weeks pregnant. Is it ok for me to still have sex without a risk of miscarrying?
Yes, it is okay to still have sex once you are pregnant without a risk of miscarrying. Of course, we are assuming that you have a normal pregnancy and have normal sex. If you have had bleeding in this pregnancy or if you have had major complications with a previous pregnancy, you should check with your care provider to be sure it is safe. Vaginal intercourse, oral sex and touching yourself or each other shouldn't be a problem. You should talk to your provider if you use lots of sex toys or if your approach to sex is really vigorous or exotic. But for most couples, it is rare to have a reason to avoid sex in early pregnancy.
I would like some more information on VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) please. I am 19 weeks along with my second pregnancy. My first delivery was a c-section because she was breech. I'm interested in having a VBAC but my current ob/gyn will not even consider it.
Most women who have one prior cesarean delivery are candidates for what we call Trial of Labor After Cesarean (TOLAC). There are some reasons why you may not qualify for this: if your previous cesarean was done through a T-shaped uterine incision, which carries an increased risk of uterine rupture; or if you are planning to have the baby in an institution that does not have the capability to perform emergency cesarean delivery. If there are no medical reasons why you can't try TOLAC, the success rate is typically high.For women who had a cesarean because the baby was in the breech position, the success rate of VBAC is approximately 84%. The most significant risk is uterine rupture. This risk is about 0.7% for women who have had a prior low transverse cesarean delivery. With uterine rupture, there is risk of death or significant injury to both the mother and the baby.
Do you make new mothers breastfeed their child before leaving the hospital? Is it mandatory? I understand breast milk is best but some people can't do it.
This is a great question, and the short answer is NO, we would not make a new mother breastfeed her baby before leaving the hospital. While our nurses do educate patients about the benefits of breastfeeding, we certainly understand and respect that it is each patient's choice whether or not she chooses to breastfeed her baby. If you have any questions about the care or feeding of your baby, please call our Warm Line nurses at 1-800-711-7011.
Why can't I get pregnant?
Some women who are having difficulty getting pregnant may be dealing with infertility, a medical condition that afflicts many couples. Approximately one third of the cases are caused by conditions solely afflicting the woman, one third caused by conditions solely afflicting the man, and one third are problems involving both partners. In women, the most common cause of infertility is the irregular or defective release of eggs. The most common symptoms of ovulation disorders are a lack of regular or any menstruation.Infertility FAQsOther causes of infertility include blocked fallopian tubes or abnormalities of the uterus. Fallopian tubes can be blocked by adhesions from past pelvic infections, endometriosis, or ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Abnormalities of the uterus include fibroid tumors, malignancy, or developmental problems. In men, infertility is caused by genetic or environmental factors that impair sperm production. This results in too few sperm or defective sperm that cannot fertilize the woman's eggs. Defective, absent or obstructed ducts also prevent sperm from flowing. The defects can be obvious during childhood, but not always.Advanced age is the most common factor increasing the risk of a woman being infertile. Although there is considerable variance between women, reproductive efficiency begins to decline rapidly at approximately 35 years of age, has declined considerably by age 40, and is essentially gone by age 44. This decline is aggravated by lifestyle and health issues such as a poor diet, stress, being under- or overweight, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, sexually transmitted diseases, chemotherapy or radiation, and general health problems.For men, there is an age-related decline in fertility but it is slower. Lifestyle and environmental issues impact a man's reproductive efficiency as they do a woman's.If you are 35 or younger and have been trying to conceive for at least one year, or if you are older than 35 and have been trying for at least six months, it may be time to speak with your gynecologist.
When is the best time to get pregnant - before or after your period?
If a woman wants to get pregnant, she should have intercourse 14 days before she expects her next period. It can be helpful to chart your periods on a calendar for a couple of months to see how often you get one. Once you know this, have intercourse frequently around the 14th day before your period should come. Once you miss a period, do a urine pregnancy test at home or with your doctor to confirm you are pregnant.
I might be pregnant but am not sure. I've missed my period for two weeks, my breasts feel bigger/ heavier/full looking, I just started to spot a little, I feel thirsty all the time, I get cramps sometimes, I'm tired and take naps during the day, I'm not in the mood to eat anything or if I do I can't finish it because I feel sick. Is it possible I might be pregnant?
Any time your period is late or different for you, you could be pregnant. The pregnancy tests you can buy over the counter are very accurate or you can go to your primary care provider to get a test in the office. Although urine tests are usually accurate enough to make the diagnosis, blood tests can be used for very early pregnancies or when the urine test gives an uncertain result.
How long does birth control stay in your system?
It is a little difficult to say how long birth control stays in your system because there are many kinds of birth control. But the combination birth control pill stays in your system for at least two days. However, it gradually becomes less and less effective the longer you go between doses. It is recommended that you take a pill every day so that the hormone level is high enough to prevent pregnancy. If you miss a day you can take two pills on the second day. If you go three days without taking a pill you should stop the pill, use condoms until your period starts, and then start a fresh pack - and try a new system to help you remember to take them daily. - Robert Berry, MD, director of ambulatory care
I'm pregnant and I tested positive for gestational diabetes. How might that affect my pregnancy? What do I need to do to keep my baby healthy?
Gestational diabetes is a condition which affects 5-10% of pregnancies in the United States. Every fetus produces hormones that cause mom to become resistant to the action of her own insulin. Most moms increase their production of insulin and maintain a normal level of blood sugar (glucose). Some moms develop gestational diabetes because they can't produce quite enough extra insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels.Glucose, a very small molecule, crosses the placenta to the fetus; fetal blood glucose levels mirror maternal levels. The fetus does not have diabetes, so he/she starts to release more insulin in order to lower his/her glucose level. However, insulin is a large molecule and does not cross the placenta so the fetus cannot help the mom to maintain normal glucose levels. No matter how much insulin the fetus produces, it cannot normalize its own blood sugar level since more glucose keeps coming from mom.It turns out that high levels of fetal insulin can cause a number of problems. Fetal insulin appears to act as a growth hormone, making the baby grow bigger. A really big baby can make for a more difficult delivery, necessitating a cesarean section or leading to injury if the shoulders get stuck in the course of a vaginal delivery. Increased fetal insulin production can also make complications of prematurity more likely if the baby is born early. Additionally, stillbirth during late pregnancy is more likely. There is also evidence that infants of gestational diabetic moms may be more likely to develop childhood obesity after the age of 6 or 7, and also are more likely to develop diabetes as they grow up.For these reasons, treatment is based upon two principles: (1) help the mom keep her blood sugar as close to normal as possible; (2) use various techniques of fetal evaluation to lower the risk of other complications. You should discuss with your obstetric caregiver what steps will be needed to manage your pregnancy. It is also a good idea to make sure your child eats a healthy diet and gets plenty of exercise during his/her formative years.Be reassured that with modern approaches to gestational diabetes, most pregnancies have a very happy outcome! - Donald R. Coustan, MD, director, Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine's Prenatal Diabetes Program
Can you eat whatever you want while being pregnant?
Eating well in pregnancy is based on the same principles of eating a healthy diet at other life stages. Some individuals must modify their diets due to many factors such as age, weight, medical conditions, lifestyle habits, food allergies and preferences and cultural beliefs. There is scientific evidence that having good nutrition prior to becoming pregnant is as significant as during pregnancy. Adequately nourishing mom is important in order for her baby to receive proper nutrients for growth and development. Eating a diet based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for American and the new Food Pyramid is a good start.You can eat most all foods during pregnancy with some caution for food safety issues such as washing all fruits and vegetables, avoiding unpasteurized dairy products and some large ocean fish such as striped bass, Chilean sea bass, bluefish, shark, tilefish, swordfish, king mackerel, fresh or frozen tuna and some fresh water fish like walleye pike. Fish is a good source of protein, so eating smaller and younger fish or shellfish from unpolluted waters once or twice a week is generally safe.To gain appropriate prenatal weight, generally, you need only 300 more calories per day in the second half of your pregnancy to meet your recommended weight gain based on weight before pregnancy. So you really do not need to eat for two. Eating a variety of foods with emphasis on nutrient-dense foods like dairy, whole grains, low sugar and solid fats, meats or non-animal proteins (soy products and fruits and vegetables) can provide you with adequate major nutrients like calcium, iron, folic acid, vitamins A, D and C, and most minor nutrients.Sometimes, your health care provider will prescribe a prenatal multi-vitamin to help supplement your diet. Getting early prenatal care, making healthy food choices, and keeping normal activity are the things you can do to encourage a healthy pregnancy. For special nutrition related health conditions, have your health care provider refer you to a registered dietitian. - Doreen Chin Pratt, director, Outpatient Nutrition Services
I'm expecting in about two months and am very nervous about pain control. I don't want too much medical intervention. What other ways can I control my pain during labor?
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm sure that the next two months will go by very quickly.Women & Infants has been helping women give birth for more than 125 years. In this time, we've gotten pretty good at understanding what women want, while always supplying what they need. For some women, an epidural is what they are looking for in the way of pain management. Others, like yourself, like to try to control their pain with no or minimal medical intervention.In addition to a full anesthesia team that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we also have a full array of amenities in place to make you and your coach/partner as comfortable as possible while your baby is born. In addition to the support and guidance from our labor room nurses who can suggest different positions and relaxation and breathing techniques, our labor-delivery-recovery rooms each offer such amenities as:
I'm trying to get pregnant, but no matter how much we try, it won't happen. Any suggestions or tricks that might help??? :)
Couples can improve their chances of having a baby by knowing the basics behind conception. Healthy young couples have about one- in-five odds of con¬ceiving each month. Conception is more likely to happen around the time of ovulation.A woman can find out when she's ovulating each month with one of the following strategies:
Couples may want to talk to a doctor if pregnancy does not occur within one year. Women age 35 or older should only wait six months before speaking to a doctor.There are also lifestyle issues that may impact a couple's ability to conceive. For women, being obese or too thin can hamper ovulation. And smoking and heavy alcohol drinking can impair fertility in both men and women. One study found no truth behind the myth that underwear briefs heated the scrotum any more than boxers did. Stress and depression may play a role in some cases of female infertility. Women who had been trying for more than a year to become pregnant were likelier to succeed after receiving relaxation training.Whatever the cause of infertility, the road to pregnancy can certainly be stressful. So, reach out for support from friends or your partner. And be sure to exercise regularly and engage in other relaxing activities. - Dr. Sandra Carson, Women & Infants' Center for Reproduction and Infertility
I'm 41 and having my third baby. What should I be doing or looking for?
Congratulations on having your third baby. We hope you are feeling well and enjoying this pregnancy! It is probably going by quite quickly for you because you are so busy with the other two. The third baby can definitely be a challenge; but also a source of great joy and fun for your family. Soon you will have more children than hands; you and your partner will also be out numbered!
The good news is that the third child tends to be more easy going – because they have to be. They get carted around in the car a lot – bringing their older siblings to all of their activities. Regular naps are also difficult to schedule- they often occur in their car seats. One nice side effect is that a third baby often brings the other two children closer together. You may also notice the benefit of the siblings being able to entertain each other while you are tending to the many needs of the newborn. Caring for the new baby can become a family project –the older ones can work with you to care for the new baby. Teaching them how to prepare simple snacks/ meals (getting cereal/ making a sandwich etc.) for themselves may be helpful.As far as your health is concerned you don't need to treat this pregnancy any different than the others. Continue with your regular activities and doctor/midwife visits. Your health care provider will monitor your health (blood pressure, glucose, etc.) as well as the health of the growing baby. If you do notice any symptoms that you did not notice with your previous pregnancies, please let your health care provider be aware of this. After delivery you may notice that the uterine cramping is more intense, and your breast milk tends to come in a bit earlier.If you have further or more specific concerns please call the Warm Line at 1-800-711-7011. We are here Monday through Friday from 9am to 9pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 5pm. We wish you well for the rest of your pregnancy and in welcoming your new bundle of joy! - Women & Infants' Warm Line

It's not part of a legal strategy or way to churn the file; it's an attorney-initiated discussion about the client smack in the middle of the case.
What usually happens is that the attorney is retained, legal work begins, the client is updated as to the status of the case/matter, asked to weigh in occasionally on strategy, and reminded about the pending bill. We see this as part of the job, but how do the clients perceive the representation?
At some point in the representation, the best chance you have to hear what the client is really thinking is when they are not happy. You'll get that anxious phone call, that question that is really a criticism, and it is during those times that you focus on trying to make the client happy.
What if you were proactive?
What if you scheduled a non-billable meeting with the client, outside your office, for the sole purpose of allowing the client to voice their overall concerns after you've been representing them for a while?
This isn't a meeting to ask what the client thought of your motion for summary judgment, or your performance at the last deposition. This is a meeting to ask, "What do you think of all of this, of me, of what you thought would happen as opposed to what has happened?" The definition of a "good lawyer" is not tied solely to motion practice and oral argument — a big part of it is about the attorney/client relationship.
Unless a client is experienced in litigation or other legal disputes, they feel like they have a place. That place is to listen to their lawyer, receive updates from the lawyer, and pay their lawyer. Some clients are more involved than others, but usually not at the invitation of the lawyer. Many lawyers, including me, take the position of,
"Let me do my job, it's what you paid me for."
What we forget is that the most important feedback we can receive is from our clients. There are plenty of lawyers out there to say "good job," and congratulate us when we are successful, but when you ask for feedback from a client, you'll get it. While clients may not know the law like we do, they do understand relationships and how we are dealing with their issues.
To make this happen, you've got to put away the ego, stop the time clock, and be willing to hear the truth. I've done this at the end of a case, but not in the middle. Call it a break, call it a time out, call it an opportunity to possibly change the way you are handling the case. Maybe the client's goals have changed, maybe something in their personal life has arisen and they haven't had the guts to tell you — or they don't want to call because "he charges me every time I call him."
The client in front of you has the best ability to send you more clients. They'll send you more clients because you do a good job for them, but also because you asked them if they think you are doing a good job, before the job is done.
Brian Tannebaum will never "get on board" at the advice of failed lawyers who were never a part of the past but claim to know "the future of law." He represents clients, every day, in criminal and lawyer discipline cases without the assistance of an Apple device, and usually gets to work (in an office, not a coffee shop) by 9 a.m. No client has ever asked if he's on Twitter. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bathymodiolinae are giant mussels that were discovered at hydrothermal vents and harboring chemosynthetic symbionts. Due to their close phylogenetic relationship with seep species and tiny mussels from organic substrates, it was hypothesized that they gradually evolved from shallow to deeper environments, and specialized in decaying organic remains, then in seeps, and finally colonized deep-sea vents. Here, we present a multigene phylogeny that reveals that most of the genera are polyphyletic and/or paraphyletic. The robustness of the phylogeny allows us to revise the genus-level classification. Organic remains are robustly supported as the ancestral habitat for Bathymodiolinae. However, rather than a single step toward colonization of vents and seeps, recurrent habitat shifts from organic substrates to vents and seeps occurred during evolution, and never the reverse. This new phylogenetic framework challenges the gradualist scenarios "from shallow to deep." Mussels from organic remains tolerate a large range of ecological conditions and display a spectacular species diversity contrary to vent mussels, although such habitats are yet underexplored compared to vents and seeps. Overall, our data suggest that for deep-sea mussels, the high specialization to vent habitats provides ecological success in this harsh habitat but also brings the lineage to a kind of evolutionary dead end.

|Invasive treatment in complicated monochorionic twin pregnancies: Indications and outcome of 120 consecutively treated pregnancies.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22708557 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Objective: Monochorionic twin pregnancies are associated with increased risk of severe complications. Umbilical cord occlusion (UCO) and fetoscopic selective laser coagulation (FSLC) are used as invasive treatment. The study aim was to document treatment indications and pregnancy outcome where UCO and FSLC were used for treating fetal discrepancies and twin to twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Design: Cohort study of all consecutively treated monochorionic twin pregnancies 2004-2010. Setting: Tertiary care centre. Population: 120 pregnancies treated by FSLC (55) or UCO (65). UCO was undertaken in 49 TTTS cases, 4 cases with fetal abnormality and TTTS and in 12 because of fetal anomaly only. Main Outcome Measures: Overall survival per fetus, survival per pregnancy of at least one fetus and further according to the Quintero stages. Infant survival, until, at least one week after birth. Results: 84% had TTTS, 13% had a fetal malformation and 3% had both. Of TTTS cases 69% were Quintero stage 3 and 4. In the UCO group with TTTS 87% were in stage 3 and 4. Survival in the UCO group was 82%, and in the laser group the survival of at least one fetus was 85%, overall survival per fetus was 60%. Conclusions: TTTS in Quintero stage 3 was by far the most common indication. Outcome by means of survival after FSLC and UCO were similar to what has been reported elsewhere. Cord occlusion was accepted treatment alternative to fetoscopic selective laser coagulation in severe TTTS cases.

To spare you the suspense, the short answer is you can't remove bad reviews online. If you know who left the review, then you might be able to remedy their issue and persuade them to remove it. However, this won't be possible in most cases. What you can do is bury these bad reviews deep enough so that nobody can reasonably view them. Free tools like Untrue Report help you do that. The same strategies apply whether you're concerned about bad reviews on Yelp.com or Google places.
It never ceases to amaze us how many small businesses continue to dump money into online marketing campaigns while their Google search results still show negative reviews on the first page. The right thing to do is divert your marketing dollars to fixing your bad reviews first.
Luckily, bad reviews are quite easy to fix and don't take as long as burying negative search results. The reason is you're not suppressing the review site's search result, but instead, you're suppressing the bad review within the review site, which allows Google to pull newer positive reviews into the search result. All that's needed are newer, more positive reviews created to support your business. Enlisting the support of your existing clients is necessary here. You might have to offer some motivation, in the form of future discounts or free offers, but many would be willing to spend the few minutes online to leave you a review if you just ask–or casually beg.
Google Reviews (maps.google.com)
Google reviews can be viewed on Google search results and map search for businesses. Writing a new review is easy as finding your listing on Google maps and clicking on the "sign in to rate" button. Google will display the most recent review when the business is listed in the search results or map search results. Also, when you click on the red pointer for your business on Google maps, the most recent review will pop-up there too. If one of your happy customers happened to leave the most recent review, then you're in good shape as far as display text is concerned.
The only other issue is the star rating (out of 5) displayed for your business. Google star ratings are a standard average taken by adding up all of the points given per review and then dividing by the total number of reviews. You might notice a larger number of total reviews (e.g. "13 out of 30 reviews") printed than what Google will actually show you. This is due to Google's count of reviews on other sites such as Citysearch, TripAdvisor, Urbanspoon, and Yelp.
Let's say you have 2 stars out of 5 for 10 reviewers (or 20 stars if you look at it differently) on Google. To increase your star review score to 4 stars out of 5, you will need 20 new reviews at 5 stars each, assuming your customers are all ecstatic about the product or service you provided them, to end up with a 4 star average. Let's figure it out by computing it this way: 20 reviews * 5 stars = 100 stars. Add the original 10 reviews * 2 stars = 20 stars. You end up with 120 stars out of 30 reviews. If you divide the number of stars, 120 in this case, by 30 reviewers, you end up with an average of 4 stars.
Yelp Reviews (yelp.com)
Yelp reviews are sorted differently than Google's. This is straight from the Yelp FAQ under a question about how reviews are displayed…
Yelp's default sort order takes a number of factors into account and reflects our own attempt to present reviews in a meaningful order.
So, you might not be able to hide any one specific review's text from displaying on search results or at the top of the Yelp page for that location, but you can still affect the ratings if you encourage more of your customers to leave reviews. Just don't try to create bogus reviews yourself because, besides being unethical, Yelp filters reviews to promote legitimate entries. See the Yelp Support Center's answer on why their filtering mechanism exists.

On April 25, 2012, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued new guidelines for using criminal records in employment decisions.
These rules do not entirely prohibit employers from conducting criminal background checks, but they do limit the degree to which those considerations may be weighed against a prospective employee.
Generally employers may reject an applicant if there is reason to believe that a past conviction may affect performance on the job, or that the individual poses a threat to workplace safety. This "targeted screening" process should take into account the following three factors:
You can download the EEOC's:
Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
The agency also developed a Q&A document to provide employers with additional compliance information.
New EEOC Guidelines on Criminal Background Checks
What your business should know about performing criminal background checks
Can employers disqualify a prospective employee on the ground that he or she has a criminal record?
Federal civil rights laws prevent employers from denying employment on the basis of a past conviction, unless the offense is viewed as job-related. This rule allows employers to consider convictions to the extent that they are relevant to the work the employee would undertake, and allows employers to ensure safety on the job. But, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) prohibits employers from adopting policies which categorically reject prospective employees with past convictions.
Can employers ask employees about past convictions?
Employers may conduct background checks, and may ask prospective employees about their criminal history; however, the EEOC requires employers to consider all of the facts. The new guidelines require that a prospective employee must be given a chance to explain a past arrest or conviction before the employer may reject an applicant.
To what extent can employers consider past arrests?
The EEOC discourages employers from denying employment on the ground than a prospective employee has been arrested because an arrest does not indicate that criminal conduct has occurred. That said, employers may nonetheless ask about, and consider, the conduct underlying the arrest to the extent it has bearing on the individual's capacity to perform a job.
Can employers screen applicants on the basis of convictions?
To the extent an employer wishes to develop a policy to screen out applicants with criminal backgrounds, the EEOC requires that the policy must be carefully tailored. Employers are cautioned to take a holistic view when considering past infractions. EEOC requires employers to consider all available facts shedding light on the nature of the conviction or arrest, the specific job duties, and the time passed since the conviction. EEOC further recommends that employers should give prospective employees, who will otherwise be denied a position on the basis of their past criminal conduct, the opportunity to submit information explaining why they should not be rejected.
What else should employers keep in mind?
Employers should ensure that all information about applicants' and employees' criminal records is kept confidential. It is also prudent to consult an attorney before establishing a policy or procedure for screening out prospective employees with criminal backgrounds.
Additional Questions?
You can download the EEOC's "Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964." The agency also developed a Q&A document to provide employers with additional compliance information.
NFIB members can also call the NFIB Employment Hotline at (866) 678-NFIB (6342).
This NFIB alert does not constitute legal advice, and you should consider consulting an attorney about any laws and regulations that are applicable in your state, locality or particular type of business.

John Tracy, Sen. Patrick Leahy's state director, talks with demonstrators from St. Michael's Global AIDS Campaign Friday after they marched down Church Street and rallied in front of the senator's office on Main Street in Burlington. / MATT SUTKOSKI/FREE PRESS
A group called the St. Michaels Global AIDS Campaign marched through parts of downtown Burlington to Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahys office Friday afternoon to seek the senators support for a Robin Hood tax.
The tax of less than one half of one percent on financial transactions would help fight the global HIV/AIDS epidemic, and address other issues, such as poverty and global warming, said Trevor Madore, a St. Michaels College junior who was one of roughly 20 demonstrators.
John Tracy, Leahys Vermont state director, emerged from the Main Street building and told the group Leahy supports many of the causes the demonstrators back.
Tracy said it is unlikely Congress would address any of the issues the demonstrators raised before the end of the year as lawmakers struggle with the so-called fiscal cliff. The cliff is a series of automatic, steep federal spending cuts that would take effect at the beginning of the year unless Congress and President Barack Obama come to an agreement on spending cuts and tax revenue adjustments.
Many lawmakers and economists fear a new recession if the fiscal cliff proceeds.
Demonstrators said they want Leahy to introduce Robin Hood tax legislation.
Leahy, a Democrat, chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee and is thus unlikely to introduce legislation dealing with financial and tax issues, Tracy said. However, the senator might well support many of the issues the demonstrators hope to address through the tax, Tracy said.

Construction spending up 0.6% in July to highest mark since June 2009
Posted By Wayne Grayson On September 3, 2013 @ 10:09 am In Construction News | No Comments
[1]Construction spending in the U.S. rose 0.6 percent in July despite more decreases in government spending, according to preliminary data from the Commerce Department.
Total construction spending rose to $900.8 billion in July thanks to gains in both housing and nonresidential projects. That's the highest spending total since June 2009 and bests the July 2012 total by 5.2 percent.
Total residential spending rose 0.5 percent to $340.6 billion, while total nonresidential rose 0.6 percent to $560.2 billion. The biggest total nonresidential July gains came in lodging, which rose 5.8 percent to $15.2 billion, and sewage and waste disposal which rose 4.6 percent to $21.4 billion.
Private residential construction spending rose 0.6 percent to $334.5 billion while private nonresidential rose 1.3 percent to $296.8 billion. Private lodging was the big nonresidential winner with a 6.1-percent gain to $14.5 billion, followed by manufacturing with a 2.9-percent gain to $46 billion.
Meanwhile, government construction spending fell 0.3 percent. Public housing construction spending fell 3.1 percent to $6 billion in July while nonresidential fell 0.2 percent to $263.3 billion.

Professor Emeritus Singletary has left the building.
I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing

There's just too much to see
Waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can't go wrong.

NARRAGANSETTŌĆōAn historic landmark is back in action after over a decade of sitting idle.
After some major renovations, The Grinnell Inn, is open to the public as a bed and breakfast with a restaurant called Riptides on the first floor. The inn now features seven distinctive rooms, each with its own Narragansett beach theme like Sand Hill Cove, Bonnet Shores and Scaroborough. Each room has a private bathroom and brand new hardwood floors.
ŌĆ£We took over in March and brought in all the decorations and furnishings,ŌĆØ said Selena Lavoie, who runs the Grinnell Inn and Riptides Restaurant located at 83 Narragansett Avenue with her husband Bob. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre going to be open year round and weŌĆÖre happy to be in business. WeŌĆÖve been looking at this place for the past five years.ŌĆØ
The Lavoies, residents of Narragansett for over 16 years, have a background in the food industry. They owned and operated a bakery called Mad Hatters in Newport prior to taking over the inn.
Riptides should be a welcome place for tourists, locals and URI students. In the 1990s, when the restaurant was called Peppers, it was a very popular place to eat a casual meal and catch up with your friends and neighbors. Riptides still has that casual vibe although the renovations give it a cleaner, more open space.
Lunch and dinner items include sandwiches, soups, salads, burgers, wraps, fresh fruit, clamcakes and chowder and more. ItŌĆÖs all reasonably pricedŌĆōmost of the items on the menu are under $10. And while they donŌĆÖt have a liquor license, the restaurant is BYOB and there are plenty of non-alcoholic beverages on the menu including iced tea, lemonade and a variety of smoothies and frozen concoctions.

Any one know what the best glue is for the white construction tyvek?
PVA works...Franco
This guy has lots of information. He likes Cuben Fiber ($$) over Tyvek but I'd imagine the adhesive he uses - a two-part expoxy from Loctite - would work for you too. http://www.suluk46.com/RandD.html
There were several fairly lengthy threads a while back concerning Thom Dorrah's GCB (ground-cover-bivy) and he noted that simple, relatively inexpensive 3M Super 77 and Super 90 worked well in bonding Tyvek -- I would probably go with the 90 just because. Best luck!
