Pointedly Pagan
Earth Day, 2012
This planet and life will long outlast us. If the greed of the Kochs and EXXON and the blindess and venality of their paid lackies, political and intellectual, triumphs the earth may become very inhospitable to us, sending billions to where it sent the dinosaurs. But life will continue. We are not "Life's Saviors." That fantasy is just another human ego trip. Life is tougher than we are. But we can assist or destroy the communities of life that brought us forth, and surround us with beauty and meaning.
We can accomplish this if we realize, as Aldo Leopold put it in his Almanac, that we are just "plain citizens" of life on earth, and it is time we began acting like such. Far from being anti-human, we need only enlarge that part of us which may be most unique, our hearts, to embrace what he terms a "land ethic."
Such an ethic...
"...simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants, and animals, or collectively: the land.
"This sounds simple: do we not already sing our love for and obligation to the land of the free and the home of the brave? Yes, but just what and whom do we love? Certainly not the soil, which we are sending helter-skelter downriver. Certainly not the waters, which we assume have no function except to turn turbines, float barges, and carry off sewage. Certainly not the plants, of which we exterminate whole communities without batting an eye. Certainly not the animals, of which we have already extirpated many of the largest and most beautiful species. A land ethic of course cannot prevent the alteration, management, and use of these 'resources,' but it does affirm their right to continued existence, and, at least in spots, their continued existence in a natural state."
Can we live our lives as if this ethic mattered? That may be a crucial test of the ability of our path to shape our steps.

By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: Aug. 30 2012 12:02 PM 0 Getty Images In a decision that makes federal funding available to state and local governments for emergency work in the stricken areas, President Obama has declared federal emergencies in the areas of Louisiana and Mississippi being hit hardest by Hurricane Isaac, the Associated Press reports. The orders he signed late Wednesday cover 35 parishes in Louisiana and 34 counties in Mississippi. While the New Orleans levee systems, strengthened after Hurricane Katrina devastated the area years ago, easily handled the storm, which passed slightly to the west of the city, other low-lying areas outside the federal system have reportedly not fared as well. Unfortunately, that's not been the case for low-lying areas outside the federal system, in particular lower Jefferson and Plaquemines parishes," said Louisiana Democratic US. Sen. Mary Landrieu. "Hurricane Isaac has reinforced for us once again just how vulnerable these critical areas are. We must re-engage the Corps of Engineers on this." Jerry Larpenter, sheriff in nearby Terrebonne Parish, said he thinks the storm's impact took many by surprise. "I think a lot of people were caught with their pants down," he said. "This storm was never predicted right since it entered the Gulf. It was supposed to go to Florida, Panama City, Biloxi, New Orleans. We hope it loses its punch once it comes in all the way." New Orleans' biggest problems seemed to be downed power lines, scattered tree limbs and minor flooding. One person was reported killed, compared with 1,800 deaths from Katrina in Louisiana and Mississippi. And police reported few problems with looting. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu ordered a dusk-to-dawn curfew. Read more from the Associated Press. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

How are digital assets presented? documents are transcribed (there is a note in the image attesting to this), the documents appear to be a mix of scanned portions and transcription (so there is no 'original' image); images are in JPEG format when viewed, I was not able to determine if a master copy was made
Additional information: you can search the database by keyword, title, or subject; no advanced search is available; this is a pretty bare bones site
Metadata: it appears they used Dublin Core to create the records (but this is a guess on my part); there is a link for the image in the record; a record lists the following: title, creator, publisher, subject(s), source, description, reproduction notes, and general notes (the owner of the image, how the image can be used, etc.); you can save the record as UTF-8, Latin1 MARC, or Raw MARC; I am not sure if controlled vocabularies were used, however the subject headings are not too random

We meet every Monday evening from 7-8PM and offer a chance to learn traditional seasonal and holiday German children's songs, including translation, meaning, history, pronunciation and singing along with friends.

This is an ongoing and flexible opportunity.
New Year's resolutions typically focus on self-improvement. This year, why not resolve to do something even more lasting: improve the life of a child who's been abused or neglected?

VENTILATION is a think-tank, where ideas are displaced from their internal shroud to a collective conscious, where they can be morphed and cultivated. Discussions convene weekly, hosted by a revolving door of organizations and spaces involved in visual art and other forms of creation.

On signal, one partner will jog clockwise around the perimeter of the area while the other partner practices their jump rope skills (I have a skills sheet with the jump rope skills I want them to practice on it). The jumpers need to stay within the rectangle while their partners jog around the outside of the area. After three minutes, have the joggers stop and open the Digi-Walker, check their step number, and go back to their cone. The jogger records his/her steps while the other partner puts the Digi-Walker on and resets it to zero. On signal the new jogger jogs and the other partner jumps rope.
After both partners complete the warm-up, have them add their scores together for their team score.

24/7 Dedicated MINECRAFT Server!
So I just got a minecraft server up and working, and hopefully it will stay that way, so if you're a proud member of quelab who also plays minecraft, this is for you!
The current IP for the server is 22.214.171.124 however, it does have a history of changing, so if it doesn't let you connect then please tell me, and I will update it.
It should be reachable via quelab.dyndns-free.com
On a closing note, if the server doesn't go kablooy in a matter of weeks like it did in the past, then I will be keeping it up to date with the most recent version of minecraft which sadly means that you do have to update to play on it.
Oh, and just for the record, no, its not going to be creative.
One Response to Quelab Hosted Minecraft Server
Aaron Birenboim says:
Aidan et al: You should be able to ssh into that computer to maintain the service remotely, if there are issues.

Brownies with Toasted Ancho
Author: Cookie Madness
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 40 mins
Total time: 50 mins
Brownies with toasted ancho chili
Brownies with Toasted Ancho
4 oz unsalted butter (114 grams)
3 oz unsweetened chocolate (85 grams)
1 ancho pepper, toasted and ground (1 tablespoon)**
1/4 very scant teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (270 grams)
2 large eggs plus 2 tablespoons egg, lightly beaten with a whisk
3/4 teaspoon Mexican vanilla
3/4 cups all purpose flour (100 grams)
3/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch metal pan with foil and grease bottom of pan only.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe mixing bowl. Add the chopped chocolate and stir until it is completely melted. If it doesn't completely melt, microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. Stir the ground ancho powder into the melted chocolate/butter mixture. Whisk in the salt and sugar, followed by the beaten eggs and vanilla. Add the flour and stir until it is almost mixed in, then add pecans and stir until flour disappears. Pour into pan. These brownies are fairly thick, so you'll have a lot of batter.
Bake brownies on center rack for about 40 minutes. At 35 minutes, test with a toothpick. Your brownies should have *very* moist crumbs. I let mine bake for the full 40 minutes, then cooled in an ice bath.
When completely cool, lift from pan and cut into 9 large brownies (or 6).
** There are many ways to toast anchos, but for this recipe I removed the stem and seeds, broke up the ancho, threw the pieces in a hot dry skillet and moved them around for about 2-3 minutes until they started to smell good. I moved them to my small coffee/spice grinder and ground the ancho to make 1 tablespoon powder. It was so much better than store-bought.

The 2007 Roe Award recipient is Kevin Gentry, vice president of the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, and director of special projects for Koch Industries. The Roe Award was established to recognize individuals who exhibit leadership, innovation and achievement in promoting free markets and less intrusive government at the state and local level.
The crystal eagle award was presented by Gisèle Huff, an SPN board member and executive director of the Jaquelin Hume Foundation, on October 10 during the 15th Annual Roe Award Banquet in Portland, Maine. Huff noted in her introductory remarks, "Kevin makes invaluable contributions to our movement. He is a consistently positive person who is enthusiastic, efficient and extremely effective."
Gentry accepted the award on behalf of the Koch Foundation, noting the Koch family's long-term dedication to building the institutions that most effectively advance the free society. He emphasized that our movement will continue to grow and strengthen as long as we combine a resolve to thinking big in terms of fundraising with an unshakeable commitment to acting with integrity in all of our operations.
Gentry has contributed much to the bottom lines of state-focused think tanks. For nearly four years he has organized the Koch Foundation's Development Exchange, a monthly Washington, D.C.-based luncheon featuring experts in fundraising and marketing. SPN members attend the Exchanges in-person or by telephone.
He has also led numerous - always well-attended - fundraising workshops at SPN Annual Meetings. Huff highlighted, "A mark of how well Kevin listens, one of the pillars of successful fundraising, is that prior to the Annual Meting he sent out a letter to all attendees requesting their input as to what topics were of most interest to them."
Before he joined Koch, Gentry served as vice president for both the Mercatus Center and Institute for Humane Studies at George Mason University. Prior to that, he was executive vice president of the Leadership Institute. He is also a member of the executive committee of the Council for National Policy. Kevin is active in The Falls Church, where he has served as a member of the vestry and is chairman of the stewardship committee.
"Kevin assists SPN's members through consistently solid, topical programs and presentations," affirmed SPN president Tracie Sharp. "He personifies the values and vision of Tom Roe, the Award's namesake."

Yongnuo YN-560II vs Sunpak PZ42X
I am buying my first flash for a Canon 40D (on a v.tight budget) and have been going round and round in circles. I have ended up at the Sunpak or the Yongnuo but they are not quite equally matched. The Sunpak is TTL and claims to work with the Canon E-TTL but has no slave function. and the Yongnuo has a slave function but is manual only. This is my first true flash and it is to learn with. Has anybody any advice........other than buy a Canon Speedlite!

Truth and the Holocaust
Albert Camus once said, "Truth, like light,
blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that
enhances every object." Only falsehood could enhance the image of mass
maiming, torture, and murder. Only falsehood could justify the screams
of Gypsy twins as their organs were removed without anesthesia, or the
desperate cries of mothers as SS men shot their children before their
eyes. Only falsehood could approve of such appalling disregard for
precious human life. And only truth can prevent such horrors from
happening again.
In order for the Nazis' "Final Solution to the Jewish Question" to be set in motion, the German conscience needed to be numbed to the truth. The easiest way to turn people away from truth was fear – fear of helplessness, fear of missing out on an opportunity, fear of being deprived of pleasure – fear of almost anything. Thus, Hitler's ability to capitalize on the fears of the German people was the most indispensable aspect of his rise to power. Otto Strasser described this uncanny skill: "Hitler responds to the vibration of the human heart with the delicacy of a seismograph … enabling him, with a certainty with which no conscious gift could endow him, to act as a loudspeaker proclaiming the most secret desires, the least permissible instincts, the sufferings and personal revolts of a whole nation." Had Germany been experiencing economic prosperity, and had World War I been less devastating, the fringe National Socialist Party would have been dismissed as a political joke. But Germany was in a state of economic and social collapse; the German people had everything to fear, from starvation to the rise of Communism, and it was this context of fear that lowered their inhibitions and helped open their minds to propaganda. In the midst of their national predicament, it became easy to justify the gradually increasing violations of human rights on the basis of circumstances – because of the economic situation, because of the racial superiority of the Aryans, because of their children's future, events that would normally be condemned as reprehensible became not only acceptable but right.
In the heat of the moment – when something one holds dear is on the line – it is nearly impossible to make a rational moral decision. Everyone buckles in the face of adversity except those who have already decided that there are lines they will not cross, and the Holocaust serves as history's most sobering warning that we must decide ahead of time to not yield in a time of crisis – that no matter how serious the circumstances or how high the stakes, there are lines that we will not cross. When trial descends upon us, the only way we can resist the slippery slope of compliance with evil is to have made the prior decision to confine our behavior to transcendent moral boundaries. We must make doing the right thing a conscious, preemptive choice.
Choice and volition have become blurry concepts. We have passed from the heyday of psychoanalysis into the age of therapy, and we are accordingly encouraged to produce creative excuses for everything from murder to procrastination. We systematically separate people from their choices when, in reality, one's identity is nothing but the sum of one's those very choices. It is easy to imagine that we would choose to hide Jews in our basements or join the French resistance - but how many of us are even willing to give blood, let alone risk our popularity for an unpopular cause? We can look back at Hitler's reign of terror and express horror at the widespread complacency and complicity – but what kinds of choices do we make today? Unless we genuinely base our actions on what we know to be right rather than what we wish to be right, pointing our fingers at the Nazis' wrongdoing is meaningless. Adam Michnik, a Pole of Jewish origin who was persecuted by the Communist government, states the concept simply. "Start doing the things you think should be done, and start being what you think society should become," he says. "Do you believe in free speech? Then speak freely. Do you love the truth? Then tell it."
As a student I rarely hear the message "Seek the truth," but am constantly bombarded with messages of "Be involved!" and "Make a difference!" This sort of ambition seems to be valued today above all else – the willingness to thrust oneself into a cause, to make sacrifices for a dream, to make one's voice heard. But as Thomas Fuller said, "Zeal without knowledge is fire without light." Fire without light has only the capacity to destroy. And to encourage people to "get involved" with no emphasis on finding out the truth of the situation has, historically, caused only destruction and tragedy. The Hitler Youth thrust themselves into their cause; the German people made sacrifices for a dream, and Hitler undeniably made his voice heard. The horrific result is proof that without truth, good intentions become nothing more than tools to validate the most heinous crimes.
"Never again," we cry. "It cannot happen again. We will prevent it through love and tolerance." But how can we define love? German parents believed that love meant removing Jewish children from the classroom to ensure that the "superior" Aryan children received the best education possible. Our own culture would have us believe that love is mere niceness. Because we live in a society where tolerance is valued, it is easy to take the path of least resistance – to refuse to formulate or follow strong beliefs about anything, but simply float along unobtrusively, doing the occasional uncontroversial random act of kindness. To be called radical is a genuine insult, and the Holocaust itself is constantly touted as a warning against the dangers of cultivating radical beliefs. I say the opposite is true. What is radical about wanting the best for your children, about submitting to government authority and protecting your own interests? Rather, the Holocaust ought to warn us against the danger of not cultivating radical beliefs – the danger of forming our beliefs based on external circumstance rather than inward conviction.
The Holocaust is a terrible truth, one that cannot and will not be erased by revising history books or letting the evidence be buried and ignored. It is as true as the millions of people who were brutally murdered and the millions of people who watched in silence and fear. It is as true as the horrific violations of human rights occurring throughout the world even today. We know the truth. We have only to choose what to do with it.

Ashley Tisdale
If you live in America, you likely know who Ashley Tisdale is. If you have children, it's much more likely, as Ashley's known for her Disney work.
Ashley's a 24-year-old actress, singer, and television producer. She's particularly known for her role as Sharpay Evans in the High School Musical film series.
It appears Ashley's trying to distance herself from the Sharpay Evans character, like we saw with Elizabeth Berkley when she starred in Showgirls after playing the bookworm Jessie Spano on Saved by the Bell. Unfortunately, Ashley hasn't chosen to take her top off in any films like Showgirls, but her second album release titled "Guilty Pleasure" displays a risky, sexy side that surprised many. It's also evident she likes to show off that fantastic bod by all of the bikini pictures out there of her. Keep at it Ashley.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Health experts in Texas say people with flu-like symptoms should use discretion and not automatically head for emergency rooms.
Some schools in Texas have closed due to the swine flu.
The Texas Department of State Health Services on Tuesday cited reports of periodic overcrowding of hospital emergency rooms. The agency says many people showing up in hospital emergency rooms "may have nothing more than seasonal allergies or mild colds."
The primary symptoms of the flu known as H1N1 have been a fever
above 101 degrees, plus a cough and sore throat.
Children under age 5 and adults with other health problems that can put them at higher risk, if they get the flu, are advised to contact a doctor or other health care professional.

Photos are misleading as they suggest there is a bracket at the back of the ruler for attaching to the wall however this isn't the case. notonthehighstreet.com's response: Thanks for your valued feedback. The listing clearly states that the Ruler should be "hung 6 inches from the floor to the first inch mark". We're sorry you feel the photos are misleading, you'll be pleased to know we have accordingly amended the listing to state that fixtures are not supplied. Please feel free to get back in touch if we can help you further. Thu 22 Oct 2015 Perfect, exactly what I've been looking for and looks great on the wall! Fri 19 Jun 2015 Adore our personalised height chart. Thank you. Mon 14 Oct 2013 The ruler starts at 15cm which is fine if you've got standard skirting boards and want to put it on the wall but a pain if not. I'd have preferred if it had started at 0 so I could have used it as a portable ruler. As I had waited a while for it and as I had to rescue the marks on the wall in our old house I couldn't be bothered to send it back. Biplane Press's response: Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry that you are disappointed that the Ruler doesn't start at 0 cm, it does however clearly state in the product listing that the first line starts at the 6 inch mark to give room for skirting boards. Although you feel you had waited a while for the Ruler, it was sent out within the 10-14 days estimated delivery time. It's a shame you didn't send it back, as long as it wasn't damaged or personalised we would have been more than happy to refund your money.

Quick delivery Sat 07 Sep 2013 No comment supplied. Fri 06 Sep 2013 Pleased with the ruler, although a little narrower than I expected. I wish the wording had been spaced a little more, but I guess I could have asked for that up front. Overall still pleased with it. Sat 27 Jul 2013 The product was fine but I was promised delivery about 2 weeks before it actually arrived. The communication from the company was poor although NOTHS helped out when things got really dire. It was a present for my godson's first birthday so I was particularly unimpressed. Biplane Press's response: Thank you for taking the time to leave your honest feedback. We're glad that you are happy with the quality of your Ruler. Due to a delay in delivery from one of our suppliers, we were unable to send it out in the stated time and are sorry for the disappointment this has caused, particularly as we missed such a very important celebration as your Godson's first birthday.

My 10 month old girl constantly cries and squirms in her sleep?
My daughter goes to bed at 7.30 pm and soon after starts to cry and squirm. At first I thought she may be having bad dreams but now it happens so often and a lot through the night that it actually seems as though she may be in pain. It can be hard to get her winds up sometimes but it always comes up, She has a hard stool mostly mornings, could this be the cause and how do I rectify this? She dinks plenty of water and eats well no major changes lately and has a fruit pot every evening. Has anybody else had this problem? If so how did you fix it?

One of the trends that seems to be accelerating in the use of technology in society is the developments in the cloud and the ability for data to be moved around between devices quickly and easily.If we look at computing in business, as just one example of this, we've started (in my working life) from a few mainframe terminals on a few desks. Next came personal computing for a few, connected to an internal and secure corporate network. Then we had distributed computing with secured laptops linked to the same networks through virtual private networking. More recently we shifted mobile computing using smart devices like the BlackBerry and iPhone/iPad - A development that is still evolving. FInally we put it all in the cloud with application grunt work processed remotely and ultra thin client presentation layers with users. Today, when I take a photograph it's immediately upload to my photostream and downloaded by the other devices that I've connected to that stream so that I can return home and edit the photograph on my desktop, and again those edits will be saved to the photostream and downloaded to my other devices so that in the evening when I'm with friends I can show them the edited photograph on my iPad. This is an early example of ubiquity; all of our data, on all of our devices, all of the time.In the longer term, this leads to not just our data, but our workflow and the current state of any work in progress being ubiquitously available on all of our devices, all of the time. However, it goes even further than that: the notes we take in a meeting can be formatted and distributed by personal assistants almost in real time, their edits can be back on our devices in order for us to validate and check them within moments. What becomes important in those situations is content and presentation rather than the time delays that historically have been in the way of rapid decision-making. From a business point of view, my expectation is that this will lead to a further democratisation of smaller businesses, for a long time we've been moving from a world in which the big eat the small, to a world in which the fast eat the slow. Distributed ubiquitous technologies make that the preserve of the well connected, not the well heeled.Ubiquity is coming, are you ready?William BuistFollow me >#Abelard

With his famous wit and insight, Vidal also demonstrates the ways in which the War on Terrorism is being used to curtail civil liberties and shred the Bill of Rights.

From the editor's desk
Aaahhh ... The weather the past few days has been wonderful. The robins are visiting my birdbath on my deck, and I can see tulips beginning to make their presence. While the huge nest on my front porch the sparrows are attempting to build looks more like an eagle's nest, rather than one for these tiny creatures, I'm thinking it will have to go, but I do admire their tenacity.

CBS makes 'Made in Jersey' the fall's first victim
Thursday, October 11, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) — The fall TV season has claimed its first victim: the CBS series "Made in Jersey."
CBS announced Wednesday the legal drama had been pulled from the Friday lineup after just two airings. It premiered on Sept. 28 to puny ratings. It starred British actress Janet Montgomery as a colorful New Jersey lawyer who lands a job at a posh Manhattan firm.
The network is replacing it with the fourth season of the reality series "Undercover Boss," starting Nov. 2.
Until then, repeats of "NCIS" or "Hawaii Five-O" will fill the Friday hour.

Recasting Language: Translating Comparative Literature
As a discipline long-defined by the study of literatures across language and culture, Comparative Literature has increasingly become the institutional home to ongoing debates surrounding questions of translation. As evidenced by the alternative viewpoints offered by critics such as Gayatri Spivak, Emily Apter, and David Damrosch, these discussions are far from settled, leaving open the question of how Comp Lit and Translation Studies will come to inhabit a shared space within the humanities. How do we recast language both through literary translation and other practices like intermedial transformation?
The 2014 issue of Exit 9: The Rutgers Journal of Comparative Literature, Recasting Language: Translating Comparative Literature, invites paper submissions from graduate students that engage in creative, critical, and theoretical considerations of this open question. Papers which address questions of translation in relation to Comparative Literature more broadly, as well as studies of particular works or practices are welcome.
Some possible questions include: In what way do translations trouble the boundaries between "original" and "copy," text and author? If Comparative Literature is defined by the study of literature in multiple languages, should scholars resist working with translations in order to focus on texts they can read in the original? On the other hand, how does Comparative Literature provide an opportunity to study the transformation and circulation of texts in translation? How do practices such as multimedia works or transmedia storytelling affect our notions of translation, originality, and narrative?
Graduate students are invited to submit an abstract of 300 words or less by 11:59 PM on Friday January 10, 2014. Please email all abstracts or questions to Shawn Doherty (firstname.lastname@example.com). Thank you and we look forward to reading your submissions.

This is a really interesting hack. There isn't really any "massive" 4th generation hacks that chage the game so massivel. And I understand how hard it is to hack the fourth generation in comparison to the third generation games, what with the lack of tools and the maps. This hack is really taking it to the next level. Plus, it's a remake of Sapphire
which is much better than Ruby imo. ;D [SIZE]'2']This is a hack I am really looking forward to, and I wish you the best of luck.

CAR FREE NYC? NYC tries 'no car zone' near Inhabitat HQ!
Posted By Jill Fehrenbacher On June 25, 2008 @ 4:20 pm In Design,Green Transportation,Innovation,New York City,News,Policy,Urban design | 3 Comments
The beauty of living in a place like New York City is that you don't need a car for ANYTHING. When I left California five years ago to move to NYC, I sold my car and never looked back – it was one of the most freeing moments of my life. Most New Yorkers – especially those in Manhattan – get by just fine without cars and rely on public transportation for mobility. And everyone knows that streets are more pleasant for walking, biking [2] and shopping when cars are taken off the road. So it makes perfect sense for NYC to try out a no-car zone in Manhattan [3]. Just because Mayor Bloomberg's congestion pricing plan was shot down in the spring [4] doesn't mean we've called off our dreams of a traffic free future.
Even though it's a baby step, a new summer proposal has us excited about the possibilities of moving in the direction of a car-free Manhattan. A new initiative called SUMMER STREETS [3] is an attempt to turn parts of Manhattan into a haven for pedestrians for 3 days in August.
The best thing about this new proposal? The car-free zone runs right up Lafayette Street – headquarters of your favorite green design blog of all time (eh hem… Inhabitat of course) [5]. The route will be closed to all cars, trucks and buses from 7a.m. to 1p.m. on the 9th, 16th and 23rd of August.
The car-free route will be 6.9 miles long [3] and run from Central Park to the Brooklyn Bridge (and through the less well-known, but much loved Inhabitat Headquarters at Lafayette street). For those that are wondering what to do, aside from a having a healthy walk, a number of activities such as dancing, walking, yoga classes and even bike rentals will be available along the route.
It has been said that no New Yorker should ever need a vehicle to get around the city, and why should they? The city has one of the best public transport systems in the world. Although this step is a mere baby step, we're hoping that if we all support this plan and work together to make 'Summer Streets' a success, perhaps we can gradually push New York, the city that never sleeps, into eventually becoming 'The City That Never Drives.'
We'll be reporting from car-free Inhabitat HQ [5] on Lafayette street during this event, so stayed tuned for our coverage of NYC SUMMER STREETS in August!

How can I produce more milk?
My daughter is two weeks old, and she eats 5-6 ounces per feeding. (Yeah I know that sounds crazy, but she's a big kid, and the nurses and lactation consultants at the hospital say it's fine, haha) She doesn't latch on correctly, so the lactation consultant suggested that I just pump every couple hours and feed her the expressed breast milk. Only problem is, I'm only producing about 3-4 ounces per pump, and we've been having to supplement with formula. I really want to feed her exclusively breast milk, and I know there are some ways to increase your milk supply.. any suggestions?

I love the pure moringa liquid capsules! They were the only supplements that worked best for me. i have heard from my aunts the effectiveness of fresh malunggay/ moringa leaves for generations, but they were not easily available in my community. So the moringa capsules worked way better than the fenugreek and mothers tea that tasted awful. My supply came in, and i produced enough volume to freeze in 48 hrs. No longer frustrated in my rocking chair, strapped to the pump for 1 hr and 1/2 a bottle filled. success!posted 11/06/2012 by Aud Mamma
First, I agree that it may be helpful to work with another lactation consultant for assistance helping your baby to learn a better latch. 2 weeks is a little young for completely giving up on nursing from the breast. An infant that age could still learn to latch correctly if you are working with a consultant who can provide you good tips for improving your latch. Other ways to increase supply: get rest (I know, hard with a newborn); stay very well hydrated; pump more frequently so your body perceives more demand and increases supply; massage your breast during pumping to really "squeeze" absolutely all of the milk out; pump until no more milk is coming and then don't quite right away, wait some minutes and then try to pump some more to stimulate supply; cuddle your baby when you pump; have excellent nutrition; eat oatmeal; try fenugreek; make sure you're pumping frequently to mimic the nursing of a newborn, that includes round the clock pumping every few hours. Let her try to nurseposted 11/05/2012 by anchoragite
Wow I'm really surprised a lactation consultant would tell you to pump instead of breastfeeding. The first thing I would do is try to find another local LC. What you need to do is breastfeed as often and as long as baby wants. This is the best way to increase your milk production. If needed you could dual pump after you're 100% sure baby is full. You can also pump overnight. Herbs have helped my milk supply a lot, but you might not need them if you strictly breastfeed. Try Breastea from http://www.breastea.com if your new lactation consultant recommends that you need to increase production.posted 11/04/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I heard that pumping can decreases your milk supply because it doesn't "get the milk out" like a baby would. Maybe that's why. I would really try to pump more often. Even if you don't get much, I would think you pumping more would tell your body you need more.posted 11/03/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Increased Unemployment Lost in Employment Report Translation
Nonfarm Payrolls climbed by 151,000, exceeding both the economists' consensus forecast for 60K and the top end of the forecast range at 97K (based on Bloomberg's survey). Still, unemployment stuck at 9.6%, souring the soup a bit. Furthermore, a closer look at the data shows underemployment still at 17%. Meanwhile, the unemployed count actually increased in October, while the size of the labor force conspicuously declined. If this is good news, I have to reevaluate where I fit in this weird world. The report is definitely not overwhelmingly positive.
The Employment Report for October 2010 blew economists out of the water Friday with a blowout jobs creation figure. The nation's economists expected a positive result, given census workers are now long gone and cannot skew the headline figure any longer (they cost 5K jobs this month). Nonetheless, as the President restated, private nonfarm payrolls (thus excluding government jobs) jumped by 159K, and are up 1.1 million since December. In fact, October marked the 10th straight month of private sector job growth, and four months above the 100K level - the first time for this in four years. But keep reading…
Job additions were mainly driven by the service sector, which we remind you makes up 90% of American GDP these days. Private services industries added 154K jobs on net in October, with Retail Trade adding 27,900 ahead of the start of the holiday shopping season. Wholesale Trade contributed another 7,300. Professional and Business Services contributed 46,000, reinforcing data offered by the Monster Employment Index earlier this week. If the service sector is ready to grow now, then we would have something to be thankful for later this month besides a tasty turkey. The feeling has been that employment would have to improve some first, but it seems possible that the hangover from the real estate & related exotic investment instruments bubble contributed some to consumer malaise. Perhaps Americans are finally starting to feel normal again.
There was some sour news within the services sector though. Financial Activities for one, shed another 1,000 jobs; sorry friends, Wall Street is not inviting you back to the party just yet. Transportation and Warehousing data from the Establishment Survey disagreed with news we received from Monster Worldwide (NYSE: MWW); those jobs were not found in this data. Neither did Information (IT) contribute to the spike this month. And within Professional and Business Services, which we celebrated above, most of those jobs were found in the Temporary Help category. That is a good thing, since this is where the baby is born, but it's also troublesome that companies are not ready to make long-term commitments yet.
There was a weird twist to the news out of the goods producing group. Construction actually added 5,000 jobs in October, while Manufacturing, which was an early driver of economic recovery, followed our old forecast for softness and shed 7,000 jobs last month. Note that this news conflicted with data released earlier in the week from ISM. But manufacturing looks to be getting enough lift from export demand to keep it revving. Motor Vehicle & Parts makers added 3.3 million jobs, but Durable Goods makers shed 3K jobs in aggregate. Nondurables Makers cut 4K jobs in October.
Education and Health Services added 53,000 jobs, with 34K of those coming from the Healthcare and Social Assistance sectors. In other less followed groups, Mining & Logging added 7K jobs, while Leisure & Hospitality shed 5K.
Another positive that might be overlooked today was the tenth of an hour increase in private nonfarm payroll hours worked, taking the eater of capacity to 34.3 hours per week. As this figure increases, pressure rises on companies to add workforce. Industrial Capacity Utilization has been recovering of late, but still has plenty of leeway. That said, today's news is still enthusing. Over the past 12 months, this important barometer has increased by 1.7%.
Despite the improvement in the rate of job creation, the unemployment rate stuck stubbornly at 9.6%. All signs point to a slow grind toward mid-single digit unemployment, which is unfathomable at this point. It could take years before we see anything near the sub-5% rate of unemployment enjoyed for most of the last decade, if we ever see it again.
Part-timers who would rather be working full-time hours fell by 318K in October, to sit now at a still too high 9.154 million. That figure is not that far off from the prior year count, which measured a horrible atmosphere. Another 2.602 million people (up from 2.548 million in September) are counted in a category labeled "marginally attached" to the labor force, and are excluded from the unemployment rate. Within this group, there were some 1.219 million Americans (up from 1.209 Mln.) labeled "discouraged workers," because they believe there are currently no jobs available for them.
Underemployment Rate
We have been a pioneer in the reporting of the "Underemployment Rate," which perhaps we coined. There was another metric that made less sense to us, which preceded this metric; we tweaked the number to develop the Underemployment measure you find here monthly (and everywhere else now too). The math follows:
Our underemployment figure includes part-timers who would rather be working full-time. This adjustment also adds back "discouraged" and marginally attached workers, who are not counted as part of the workforce or unemployed. If we add back the 2.602 million displaced workers to the labor market, and include the 9.154 million underemployed part-timers in the unemployed count, adjusted unemployment reaches ((14.843M + 2.602M + 9.154M) / (153.904M + 2.602M)) * 100 = 17.0 %. That's down slightly from September's 17.1% rate, but compares poorly to the 16.7% measured in August; 16.5% in July and June; 16.6% in May; 17.1% in April; 16.9% in March; 16.8% in February; and 16.4% in January.
Adding insult to injury, the count is favorably impacted by a decrease in the labor workforce to 153,904,000 from 154,158,000 in September. Meanwhile, the total number of unemployed Americans increased in October to 14,843,000, from 14,767,000. This while some 9 million plus Americans are barely making enough to pay their bills working part-time, and another 2.6 million have given up altogether. Even without the contradiction shown here and the conspicuous change to the labor force, the situation remains intolerable. This report might have helped some Democrats keep their jobs, but let's be clear: it does not depict good news.
