Is it wrong to feel miserable about putting on pounds during pregnancy?
I'm 24 weeks pregnant with my first child, and I've gained 22 pounds. My doctor, husband, friends, and family are not as concerned as I am and they don't seem to understand how I feel. I'm completely thrilled at the prospect of becoming a mother, but the weight gain is making me miserable. Do I just need to 'get over myself'? Am I the only one who feels this way?

I feel that you are asking this question because you need someone to tell you your not fat. I think you are right, you need to get over it. This might sound rude but its just how it is. Your not a fat cow so get over it. People don't care because your pregnant. They don't care about a LOT of things your concerned about in regards to shape of your body. These people are probably thinking your a bit shallow for being concerned about it instead of focusing on your newest little baby bundle of joy!!!! It's an OCD thing, you are focusing on non important things to occupy your mind with other things. DON'T WORRY leave it alone. You have lots of time to get the weight off later so please just look into your baby and not the size of your waist.posted 08/29/2013 by bradleylynnsarah
I'm so glad I read all the posts today I'm 26 weeks and have gained 25lbs my doctors doesn't seem concerned but the nurse is always telling me how my weight gain is too much always making me worry about it and it's hard for me not to think about about trying to loose weight cuz I know I can't diet etc. Not sure how to just get over it any advise?posted 08/19/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
It's normal to feel this way, your gaining weight that you aren't used to of course your going to be upset. But it's normal to gain more weight I gained close to 50 with my pregnancy.posted 07/24/2013 by lfrench1992
Thank you everyone for sharing. I am only 14 weeks with my first baby and I am HUGE. My freinds and family have made me feel so bad about being uncomfortable with my weight gain that I ave learned o just keep my feelings about my appearance to myself. I am BEYOND thrilled about my baby. I am 37 and it took me over a year to et pregnant, but going from being fit to not feeling like a fat whale is a huge adjustment. It has made me feel SO much better to know that I am not the only one who is dealing with this feelings.posted 07/18/2013 by halfpintsara
This should be a board all on its own! My midwife wasn't worried with my weight 20lbs gained at 24 weeks, but its been so strange for me to gain weight. Like many others i have always been slim and stayed at the same weight (125-130) easily.., im 5,4. Ive been craving cake and sweets and my mum has been buying them every week (i live with her, or else it would be easier to avoid) my fiance has been reminding me not to eat these things and because im gaining more than "the reconmended amount" i feel really sad... My arms look fat, my but is huge... I have no waist, i honestly feel crappy... The thing is i have been eating mainly healthy foods, with occasional treats... I really wish my mum didnt buy sweets, it would be easier to avoid. Anyway im thankful i found this post, i feel much better, i know ill be able to loose the weight and it is just what is healthy for me and my baby. Now i just need to remember to say these things to the people making me feel badposted 07/16/2013 by Gemma04
Hun, I felt the same way. I gained like 60 lbs with my baby girl. But I have lost 40 of it in less than 4 months. So please dont worry about it too much. It will come off!!!posted 07/11/2013 by ilovegummybears
Don't feel guilty , me myself when i was pregnant I was so scared of gaining weight coz I loved my body shape and the way i looked. Now im 5 weeks postpartum i lost almost all the extra kg i put when i was pregnant except for 4 kg but i'm still lil dissapointed of the way my belly turened into. But I'm determind to do some exercises for it. Having a baby costs a lot n being a Mom is a full time job and it is the buggest resposibility ever!posted 07/05/2013 by Ranneh3
I'm 16 weeks pregnant and have gained 6lb already. It scares the pants off me if I'm honest. I recently lost about 160lb (I was a very big girl), so any gain on the scales is terrifying. I guess we all just need to remember what we're rewarded with at the end of all this ... that's what's important.posted 06/27/2013 by mychickennugget1
No. I feel the same. I'm only 12 weeks pregnant and hate the fact I've already gained 4 kilos. I feel selfish but I can't help the way I feel.posted 06/20/2013 by Sneeze_
Hi I'm 31 weeks and I've gained 22 pounds. Just try to eat lots of veggies, fruits and protein and don't over eat. Talk to your doctor he should be able to help. I was only 109 pounds size 2 and working out at the gym. I miss my body so much but I decided to have my little girl so I have to put her first. Her growth means more than my figure. Hope I helped out.posted 06/19/2013 by Jeannette39

Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development
Kia Dorsey, Demetrius T. Robertson
May 28, 2012
Dr. Melissa Venezia
Lawrence Kohlberg (1981), studied the development of moral reasoning by presenting children and adolescents in eight societies progressed through six stages of moral awareness, from fear of punishment to an inner sense of justice. He believed that moral understanding is promoted by the same factors Piaget thought were important for cognitive development: actively grappling with moral issues and noticing weaknesses in one's current reasoning, and gains in perspective taking, which permit individuals to resolve moral conflicts in more effective ways (Berk, 2010). This paper will summarize Kohlberg's theory of moral development, explain atleast three contributions that Kohlberg made to our understanding of moral development, along with three limitations of his theory and finally, introduce Carol Gilligan and what her research say about possible gender differences in moral reasoning.
Carol Gilligan
Carol Gilligan (1982) is the best-known of those who have argued that Kohlberg's theory, originally formulated on the basis of interviews with males, does not adequately represent the morality of girls and women. Gilligan believes that feminine morality emphasizes an "ethic of care" that Kohlberg's system devalues (Berk, 2010). According to Gilligan, a concern for others is a different but no less valid basis for moral judgment than a focus on impersonal rights. She contends that there are sex differences in moral reasoning. Men typically define moral problems in terms of rights and rules, the "justice approach." In contrast, women often perceive morality as an obligation to exercise care and to avoid hurt, the "responsibility approach." Whereas men deem autonomy and competition to be central to life, women tend to view life as a web of human relationships with obligations and privileges. Many studies have tested Gilligan's claim...

This pregnancy test has a proprietary gold technology that is so sensitive, it actually detects two different forms of the pregnancy hormone, including the variant that better predicts early pregnancy.
First Response detects the pregnancy hormone 5 days sooner than the day of your missed period. First Response is 99 percent accurate at detecting the pregnancy hormone. However, some pregnant women may not have detectable amounts of the pregnancy hormone in their urine on the day they use the test. The amount of pregnancy hormone increases as pregnancy progresses. In clinical testing, First Response detected the hormone levels in 57 percent of women 4 days before their expected period, in 80 percent of women 3 days before their expected period, in 90 percent of women 2 days before their expected period, and in 94 percent of women 1 day before their expected period.
99 percent accurate at detecting typical hormone levels. Note that hormone levels vary. See insert.

Cincinnati, OH - Today, the Sierra Club raised questions as to how prepared the Ohio EPA is to protect the state's waterways. The City of Cincinnati shut its water intake valves on the Ohio river yesterday to protect its citizens from a spill of the toxic chemical MCHM, a chemical used to process coal, as it came down the Ohio river from a spill site in West Virginia. The spill originated at a Freedom Industries chemical storage facility in Charleston that had not been investigated by state officials in more than two decades. Given recent turnover and lapsed coal permits at the Ohio EPA, the spill heightens the importance of recent questions raised by the Sierra Club to Governor Kasich as to what degree the state of Ohio is prepared to enforce existing clean water regulations.
"The Sierra Club has a lot of questions about what steps Ohio is taking to protect our waterways, but so far we haven't received any answers," said Bob Shields, Chair of the Ohio Sierra Club. "The coal-processing site in West Virginia where the spill originated hadn't been investigated by state officials in over 20 years. Here in Ohio, we know we have at least 14 expired water permits related to coal dating back to 2005. Gov. Kasich was recently accused of forcing the resignation of the EPA's water division chief in Ohio, and last week the head of the agency resigned without explanation. We need to know what steps Ohio is taking to ensure that our state's clean water regulations are enforced, but so far, the governor's office has not been able to provide answers."
Last Friday, the Ohio Sierra Club sent a letter to the Governor asking for transparency on the recent resignations.
Public records show that at least 14 coal-related permits in Ohio have expired since 2005, but those facilities are still operating. These permits are designed to enforce the regulation of the dangerous water runoff from various aspects of coal mining and preparation for electricity production. Water pollution that violates these federal standards pose a threat to Ohio's waterways and human health.
"What we are asking for is transparency," said Shields. "What role has our Governor played in the recent events at the Ohio EPA, and why? Why are regulators being pushed out of the state EPA and permits being allowed to lapse? Do we have a leader who is prepared to protect our waterways? This spill underscores the need for a strong state EPA, but recent events lead us to believe that we have anything but that."
In September, Ohio EPA water chief George Elmaraghy was asked to resign, and he said it was due to pressure from the coal industry to have more leniency at the agency. Last week, Ohio EPA head Scott Nally resigned without explanation, and was replaced by long-time Kasich advisor Craig Butler.

Shade my eyes and I can see you
White is the light that shines through the dress that you wore
She lay in the shadow of a wave

Sunlight on her eyes but moonshine made her blind everytime
Green is the colour of her kind
Quickness of the eye deceives the mind
Envy is the bond between the hopefull and the damned

A tiny Lake Milton winery has won a big victory at the Ohio Supreme Court for itself and for Ohio's agricultural interests.
The state's top court unanimously ruled Tuesday that the Myrddin Winery, 3020 Scenic Drive, is exempt from Milton Township zoning regulations.
The effect of the decision is that the winery may remain in its current location in a residential neighborhood off South East River Road along the east shore of Lake Milton.
Saying every Ohio township resident has a legal right to farm, the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation and Mahoning County Farm Bureau declared their support for the winery while the case was pending in the courts.
"The court's decision clarifies and affirms an important section of state law that limits counties' and townships' ability to regulate agriculture through zoning," said Chad Endsley, director of agricultural law at the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation.
The state legislature has exempted agricultural operations meeting certain criteria from some aspects of local zoning laws because it has recognized that "un-uniform local regulations can be a significant impediment to farming," he added.
The decision's primary effect "will be to open doors in the wine-making industry," said David S. Pennington of Dublin, the lawyer representing Myrddin. "It's an affirmation of the state legislature's intent to support the wine industry in Ohio," he added.
Support the wine industry? What about the neighbors adversely affected by this so called "winery?" They have to put up with all the extra traffic, dirt and dust caused by this place. What is Myrddin going to do when one of their drunken customers kills someone in a drunk driving collision? Will they help the family of those killed or will they just crawl back under their rock?
I just read all 83 of your previous comments. You dislike fireworks, Muslims, Mexicans, Republicans, PETA, Right-to-Lifers, our Governor, Austintown schools, the Youngstown and Boardman police, the ACLU, guns in bars, strip clubs, the pay of pro athletes, and Black History Month, among others. No one is surprised you don't like the winery.
Mr. Fenton, your rights have been considered, and in fact, you've proven your ability to sway others into being "beyond" the law in your little crusade. I find it ironic that your name is on the publicly available Sunday liquor license petition for Myrrdin Winery. You have right to be a bigot, racist, or any other hobby you choose. However, you have no right to wipe your hind quarters with the law, as written by your own peers and predecessors. So as you have waived hot middle finger at myself and my 6 year old daughter as we passed by, this is your own state waiving theirs at you.
whineisgood, if you don't like my posts, don't read them. Maybe YOU like illegal's wasting your tax dollars, that's fine with me. I don't want to pay one dime for these people. As for republicans, well, just look at the state of this nation. Republicans put us in this downward spiral and the person in office now has helped keep us here.
About the right to lifers...how many of those unwanted babies have they helped? I'd chance to say NONE yet they want to stick their noses in someone else's business and make decisions for them. As if deciding on an abortion isn't difficult enough, not to mention living with the decision.
peta, anyone with half a living brain cell would post against them. For a so called animal rights group, they do NOTHING to help any animals. They take in well over 50 MILLION DONATED dollars a year yet not one thin dime is spent to help animals. But they send millions to home grown terrorists. Yet, Ingrid Newkirk and her husband Neil Barnard live well, thanks to peta. Not only are they paid by the organization, the same organization pays every single bill that comes into their home. peta even paid for a dog to be flown to England, in a FIRST CLASS SEAT. Do some research on this group and maybe you'll understand.
The governor of Ohio, again, anyone with half a living brain cell would see he's not doing a good job. He hires 10 people as replacements, and raises their salaries by 75%. Yet wants to take away a right of teachers, police and firemen to name a few. I wouldn't be surprised if you support him.
Austintown schools, if you lived here you would know what I'm talking about. The taxes were raised for Atown schools, yet the money didn't go for books or school related items, it went for a "weight center." Now, not only can Atown residence pay for this center, they also have to pay AGAIN TO USE IT. That's just the tip of things here.
Youngstown Police and Boardman police, well, if you don't know, then you aren't as up on things as you think you are. Guns in bars, hmmm as a registered conceal carry permit holder, there are still places guns shouldn't be. A bar is one of them. I've never seen where firearms and alcohol made a good mix. Strip clubs, don't belong anywhere. You're going to tell me today's athletes aren't overpaid? LMAO You probably work extremely hard for your money but do you make 4 or 5 million a year? Now, black history month. If that isn't a joke. Why does one race need a whole month to tell everyone how great they are? Where is the month for the Irish? The Hungarian? The Spanish? The Japanese? How about just one day for the American Indian? If you can't do it for all, than don't do it for any.
As I said before, if you don't like my posts, don't read them. No one cares what you think. I just thought I'd try to give you a little reason behind the posts. I know I've wasted my time.
Thanks for verifying your intolerance about so many things. If you don't care what I think - please don't respond.

Obama Says He Has "Complete Confidence" in Holder
As Matt reported yesterday, Deputy Attorney General James Cole is being set up as the fall guy for the Department of Justice's subpoena of AP journalists' phone records.
In a press conference Thursday, Obama said he had "complete confidence" in Attorney General Eric Holder.
As The Washington Examiner reported, Obama did not apologize for the subpoena.
"I make no apologies," the president said of his administration's actions in the name of national security, including the squashing of government leaks.
Obama's defense combined with Holder's testimony yesterday shows that this administration will do anything to protect its top guys—including bringing down the lower guys on the totem pole. It's the same thing that happened with Hillary Clinton and Benghazi. They tried to protect Susan Rice too, but eventually realized that was futile and let her become the scapegoat.
The president fired the acting chief of the IRS yesterday, but the key word there is "acting." What a great way to protect the top guys: by blaming the person who's already going to be replaced anyway!
So once again, it looks like Eric Holder will escape unscathed.

If you are feeling peckish, you can sit down for a bite to eat at one of several restaurants including Frankie & Benny's and The Meriden. Picking up some last minute shopping before boarding will also save you some money, thanks to the duty free shopping facilities that are available. The number of flights from Birmingham to Providence is increasing all the time, and you can find the best deals on flights, accommodation and vehicle hire at ebookers.com.
Visitors to the greater Providence area generally fly into the T.F. Green Airport, which is named for former Rhode Island governor Theodore F. Green. The airport is located at 2000 Post Road in Warwick, just eleven miles south of downtown Providence and twenty-seven miles north-west of Newport. Eight commercial passenger airlines service the airport, offering direct service from twenty-one U.S. cities and Toronto. When you're ready to visit Providence, make sure to use ebookers to do your travel planning. At ebookers, you'll find affordable rates on flights, hotels, and rental cars.
Once you arrive in Providence, you can choose from a variety of transportation options. There is ferry service to Martha's Vineyard and Block Island, and the MBTA commuter rail or Amtrak can take you to destinations in the surrounding areas. Airport Taxi (401-737-2868) offers local cab service while Cozy Cab (401-846-1500) will get you to the Newport area. If you'd like to rent a car, ebookers can help you book a car after comparing rates from the nine companies offering rental cars at the T.F. Green airport. That way, there'll be a car ready for you when you land.
Like most of New England, Rhode Island experiences warm summers with temperatures that can soar as high as 28°C. Winters are cold, and temperatures can dip as low as -6°C. Pack lightweight clothing for travel during the summer months and warm clothing for the winter. Since Providence averages three feet of snow each winter, consider bringing a parka and gloves with you in winter months. If visiting during the spring and fall, pack clothing that you can layer to accommodate both warm days and cool nights.
Because of its proximity to all the Rhode Island beach areas, Providence comes alive in the summer. If you want to avoid the crowds, plan to visit the area during the early fall when days are warm, nights are cool, and the foliage is at its peak. If you do visit during the summer, be sure to take a day trip to Newport while the annual Jazz Festival is in full swing or head down to Misquamicut Beach to enjoy some killer waves. If you're in the city between May and October, head down to the riverfront on Saturday evening to watch the award-winning WaterFire show. No matter what time of year you visit Providence, remember to use ebookers to make all of your travel arrangements through one simple system.

I think the bike shop did that so they wouldn't scare off any potential Lonh Haul customers.

New D610 Shutter Count
Hello. Just bought a new D610. The first photo came up with the number DSC_1135 ... do you think that this number is too high for a new camera or have others seen this kind of count ?.
Oh yes ... it was a new card that I inserted ... so no legacy from that.
I will appreciate your feed-back. Thanks.

no description available
Wait...wouldn't Broderick already know Mario Jr.? He's the cloned son of Bowser Jr., who would be married to Apple considering this point in time. That means Broderick is the nephew of Mario Jr. (which I'd say isn't too awkward, given Mario Jr is 20/21 about this time), so they'd likely have already met.
Well, one idea is maybe Broderick and Mario Jr. met prior to this but Odalis wasn't aware of this
I'm not sure
Lol it's fun when OC's meet each other. >w<

make the audio stop cutting out and getting staticky, the other videos were better.
make the audio stop cutting out and getting staticky, the other videos were better.
Setting reminds me of FFXIII just cause of that sphere city.
It's a MMO. Free to play most likely in the vein of Planet Side or something?
so activision is definitely going to try to make yearly installments of this game right
No PC version... WTF!
MMO? Meh.
No PC? *sigh*
Next thing you know it's gonna have a monthly subscription... Or even worse: free-to-play.
Sounds interesting, and holy crap the audio.
Halo mmo? pass...
For 360 and PS3? Jeff just fuck up and say that or what? That seems really weird to put this out on last gen systems esp when its supposed to be a long term IP. This whole lack of info on games for next gen systems is just weird regardless. Nothing shown, consoles in 8 months.
Jeff is so interesting to listen to. Destiny's reveal is simultaneously exciting and disappointing for me; exciting because it looks and sounds pretty awesome, disappointing because we saw very little of the actual game and know very little about it.
Anyone else have some weird audio feedback? I'm guess that might be jeff's mic?
Does Bungie really think they are NOT making an MMO? Are they really inventing something new here?
Wow, all that audio clipping out left me with more questions than answers at certain points :/
Am I the only one that no longer plays shooters on consoles?
I play them sparingly, but yeah most games are now best on PC.
Anyone else have sound issues towards the end of the video? Looks like a pretty interesting game though.
Dat cow lick
Anyone else have sound issues towards the end of the video? Looks like a pretty interesting game though.
23 minutes in the video player crashed, your mic cut out like 10+ times before that. im glad i went to IGN for the coverage first.
your post history is DELICIOUS.
Sounds like Team Fortress 2 with a gun free hub.
- Class based FPS
- Co-op mode
- Hats!
Anyone else have sound issues towards the end of the video? Looks like a pretty interesting game though.
It does sound interesting but it sounds like it should be a PC game.
I'd like to try it out at some point though.
If i were showing my game, i'd want people to know how fun it is.
LOOK AT THIS AWESOME THING, instead of the opposite.
If they waste time releasing this on PS3 and xbox360, but not PC, they are crazy. At the end of the cycle ever MONTH makes those consoles more and more obsolete. PC on the other hand is where you have a nice long tail, perfect for a product you intend to support for a good while.
That said, the last Bungie game I played was Myth, so what do I know.
Is the sound randomly slowing down and cutting out for anyone?
A bunch of worries. PS3 and 360? They're already hemorrhaging their potential right there if that's what they're launching on. Designed as a console shooter and not PC? I still really cannot handle shooters without a mouse and keyboard. Published by Activision? I can't imagine the consumer not getting screwed over in some fashion.
But what they're promising does sound cool, and I've never actually played a Halo game before. It's a shame they didn't actually show you anything substantial. I've been lucky to go to E3 the last few years and more and more they're just showing staged demos that I could have just watched online from the comfort of my own home (in my underwear).
Its a strange new generation we are about to enter; insomniac games appearing on 360 and Bungie games appearing on PS3. Here is hoping future games from both of these studios will be making their debut on PC sometime as well.
I only hope it's less pwahaha uuuuurgh than what Halo has turned into.
I love me good scifi but it's like we need Europe or Asia to get it done proper these days.
Yes I'm picky.
As someone who just doesn't "get" why Halo is so beloved, never really enjoyed console style shooters, and is pretty much done with FPSs in general, this isn't terribly exciting.
Ah well, I suppose that Bungie going back to making strategy games was a pretty unlikely scenario.
i am stoked
I can't wait for this to come out
Am I the only one that no longer plays shooters on consoles?
who wants to take bets when this generates a "paltry" 2 or 3 million in revenuei activision closes bungie down or relegates them to making COD maps?
They can't actually close them down. They're not a 2nd party studio. Bungie will just leave and go somewhere else to publish.
Also, greatest video title in a while. had me bussin out laughing before even playing it.
I am AMAZED Jeff didn't mention PSO/PSU while describing Destiny, as that was the only game I kept thinking about the entire time.
Or Borderlands with MMO like hubs.
Oh hey, an FPS with required internet connection. CLEARLY not made for the PC then!
What the hell? This kind of game would be perfect for the PC. FPSs generally play best with a keyboard and mouse, and practically every computer is connected to the interwebs at all times.
Yea Jeff it sounds ambitious like Planetside 2, Dust 514, Defiance, and MAG.
It's nothing like those examples though. At no point did they say anything about massive online multiplayer scale and scope. You can bet that is not what they're going for.
Bungie is creating a more persistent FPS universe, and a more social community - for maximum player retention over their 10 year business plan and maximum monetization...
Selling rad fucking helmets and shoulderpads.
How much do I need to pay to get shirtless Jeff Gerstmann?
Based on the screenshots half this game must take place in Bungie's office.
They plan to work on this for the next 10 years, yet they announce it for PS3 and 360, two consoles soon to be defunct.
I don't think you get it.
Destiny isn't ONE game. It's the universe Bungie plans to set their next couple of games in, and it will likely have presistent parts, that carry over from game to game - like your character.
I'm curious if this'll actually end up being a series of games that begins on current gen consoles or if they plan to release a game on next gen consoles and expand upon it through dlc/patching or MMO-esque expansion packs. I'm especially curious if they plan on taking the latter route on consoles.
Hey. Your volume on all the video content on the site is a little low. Do you think you could normalize it to 0db? Thanks!
This has potential to be really generic. Almost closed the tab when I heard "Multiplayer Focused FPS".
You had me at "there will be magic powers."
Edit: Time travelling robots you say...
Did the assets come with a handwritten note that said, "call me XOXO"?
Seriously though, this sounds like Dust 514. However, I'm not being a Debbie Downer like everyone else in the comments - it doesn't really matter what the core gameplay is like (aside from "good"); what matters is how they handle their 10-year idea. If they can build an evolving narrative over a decade, that will be revolutionary enough.
They plan to work on this for the next 10 years, yet they announce it for PS3 and 360, two consoles soon to be defunct.
I don't think you get it.
Destiny isn't ONE game. It's the universe Bungie plans to set their next couple of games in, and it will likely have persistent parts, that carry over from game to game - like your characters and achievements and such.
what is up with the mic clipping out? Jeff fix your microphone
Dat hair.
Yea Jeff it sounds ambitious like Planetside 2, Dust 514, Defiance, and MAG.
This shit is maddening and everything that has to be frustrating about being in the game press. "COME SEE OUR MAGNIFICENT NEW GAME'S UNVEILING!!", and then you have to sit through a shit ton of concept art and promises. I want to say that I would have just walked out after telling Bungie to "Fuck off.", but then again, I don't have to represent a website. I feel for Jeff on this.

Obama Thinks Offshore Drilling Might Not Be So Bad After All
Though Obama would surely rather be discussing energy policy than his similarities to vacuous socialites, his new approach to gas prices may not be a political winner.
Last week, we were focused almost exclusively on John McCain's low-road tactics as he tried to characterize Barack Obama as possibly too popular to be president. This week looks likely to revolve around an actual issue: energy. As Republicans stage a revolt in the darkened House of Representatives during the August recess to demand an emergency session for a vote on offshore drilling, Obama has indicated he may actually back the issue if it's part of a bipartisan compromise on energy reform. Meanwhile, Obama is unveiling his energy plan in Michigan today and released a negative ad hitting McCain for his ties to the oil lobby. But while Obama would surely rather be discussing energy policy than his similarities to vacuous socialites, it's clear the topic of gas prices may be an area where McCain right now has the upper hand.
• Peter Brown writes that the drilling issue "offers an opportunity to make [McCain] the candidate of change while branding Sen. Obama as the captive of the status quo by catering to environmentalists over the national interest," thus undercutting "the central theme of Sen. Obama's campaign." [Political Perceptions/WSJ]
• Marc Ambinder sees Obama's statements "as less of a shift and more as a gesture of sorts to the reality that the major cap and trade legislation next year that Congress will mark up … requires the participation of and compromise from the industry." Oil companies believe they "ought to have more land/water to figure out where oil is and then tap those pools," and Democrats are more likely to compromise on that point than windfall profit taxes. [Atlantic]
• Jake Tapper agrees that it's "not quite a complete and utter reversal, but certainly a shift in tone and language, indicating a softening of his opposition and a recognition that energy legislation requires compromise." [Political Punch/ABC News]
• Melinda Henneberger claims Obama "has taken flexibility too far, by selling out on offshore drilling." Obama knows that offshore drilling won't make a difference in gas prices, but "by even sorta backing new drilling, he is sending exactly the opposite message to the public, maintaining the fiction that there is no urgency to changing our ways." How about explaining why gas prices won't come down instead of just giving in to McCain's attack ads? [XX Factor/Slate]
• The WSJ editorial board writes that after seeing "the polls move against them on energy," Obama's campaign is "now doing a modified, limited switcheroo to block any John McCain traction on the issue." If Obama is really serious about drilling, "he'll start to publicly lobby Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill to allow a vote on drilling when they return from their August recess." [WSJ]
• Chuck Todd and friends say Obama probably can't "break through" like McCain did last week, but "if he can control the message debate for a few days, it will be seen as a good week for Obama." [First Read/MSNBC]
• Vaughn Ververs doesn't think the ad is "game-changing," but it "does signal a new willingness by the Obama camp to return the fire they've been taking for the better part of a week" and shows that "McCain appears to be getting some mileage on the issue of gas prices." On offshore drilling, "Obama is proving adept at doing just enough to diffuse the situation without capitulating in any meaningful way." [Horserace/CBS News]
• Ezra Klein doesn't think the ad is very powerful, and it shows the Obama campaign thinks "McCain is hurting them on the offshore drilling issue." [American Propsect]
• Jonathan Martin says the ad is Obama's "first unprompted negative commercial," one that "revolves around the notion that McCain will differ little from President Bush." [Politico]
• Reid Wilson notes that in the past, "both parties have used gas and energy prices … during the Summer only to see it fade as a priority in the Fall (See, for example, 2006)," when gas prices drop. If gas prices drop once again this year, the issue may not be effective in November. [Politics Nations/RealClearPolitics] —Dan Amira

Archived Story
Hospitals fear federal budget cutsPublished 11:26pm Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Michigan Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) are focused on the shifting sands of health care reform, Borgess-Lee Memorial Hospital administrator and CEO Joy Strand said Monday.
In March, the U.S. Congressional Budget Office issued a report on ways to reduce the federal deficit. Included was elimination of cost-based reimbursement for critical access hospitals.
CAH facilities are small rural hospitals, less than 25 beds. As a result of low population density, lower inpatient volume and higher fixed costs (labor), small rural hospitals "cannot provide the care at these deep discounted payment rates," Strand said.
There are more than 1,300 CAHs nationwide representing 25 percent of all community hospitals and 60 percent of rural hospitals. CAHs account for 5 percent of Medicare inpatient costs.
Ongoing losses
Even with enhanced payment methods, many critical access hospitals operate at a financial loss.
President Obama's most recent deficit plan proposes to reduce payments in the following ways, as reported by the National Rural Health Association (NRHA):
n Reduce bad debt payments to 25 percent, down from 70 percent, for eligible providers. This would save $20 billion over 10 years (CAHs currently receive 100 percent reimbursement for Medicare bad debt).
n Reduce CAH reimbursement to 100 percent of cost, down from the current 101 percent.
n End CAH reimbursement for facilities located 10 miles or less from another hospital.
Obama's plan called for $6 billion in cuts over 10 years to rural hospitals, claiming the proposal eliminates "higher than necessary reimbursement."
"Such devastating cuts will cause rural hospital doors to close, resulting in loss of access to health care and needed rural jobs," an NRHA advisory comments.
The Congressional Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, ("Super Committee") which includes Michigan Congressmen David Camp and Fred Upton, has been provided recommendations to reduce or eliminate the CAH enhanced payment program.
"The CAH program is a safety net program that is working. Despite so many struggling financially, many rural hospital doors are able to stay open solely because of the CAH program. These hospitals provide vital care for the millions of our nation's most vulnerable citizens – rural seniors who are on average, poorer and sicker than urban or suburban seniors," she said.
Providing jobs
In addition to providing hospital and primary care services, rural economies depend on these hospitals for jobs, economic growth and revenue production.
Rural hospitals are often the largest or second-largest employer in rural America.
The average CAH supports more than 100 jobs and provides $5 million in wages, salaries and benefits to the local community.
In Dowagiac, Borgess-Lee Memorial Hospital employs 260 people with an annual payroll of more than $13 million.
It is the only hospital in Cass County providing health care services to thousands of area residents.
Yet, it is struggling financially. Any significant reimbursement cuts or changes in the CAH program will imperil the future of BLMH.
To help, Strand suggests contacting Upton and Camp and Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow to support Critical Access Hospitals and to oppose any changes to the current CAH program.

Natalie Novosel fights to the top
Originally Published: April 13, 2012By Andrew Lovell | Special to espnW
Natalie Novosel collected the loose ball at the top of the key, drove past the taller defender in front of her and set her sights on the basket.
It wouldn't be that easy. Another taller player stepped up, met Novosel in the air and challenged the layup. "Foul," Novosel said. "All ball," the defender shot back. In a move born of frustration, Novosel picked up the ball and fired it at the player's head.
You see, Novosel doesn't hate losing. She despises it. It's a trait ...

Rhubarb Lemon Verbena Gelee with Blackberry
I started a new job recently and found myself on a hugely diverse team: a Nigerian, two Ethiopians, two Ukrainians, three Indians, and a Russian made up the bulk of my compatriots. It took us a few weeks to figure out how to work together, but I found that my typically gregarious Americanness was a little challenging with such a private group of people. I was fascinated by the cultural crossroads in the office and wanted to know more, but as a group, they weren't really much into sharing. I needed a different approach.
One day, before anyone else had arrived, I asked Alexey if there was anything I could bake for him. You see, Alexey seemed a little homesick. He'd flown from Ukraine only weeks before on an assignment that had few details, and he had no idea when he'd be home. He'd been adjusting remarkably well for his first trip to the US, but I listened with rapt attention when he talked about home. It was one of the few times this quiet engineer actually lit up. So when his mother came up in conversation, I asked if there was something she made that he liked - and missed, hoping I might both learn something new while doing something for my friend at the same time.
He thought long and hard, and then, excitedly turned to his computer. I knew he was looking for a picture or a translation, and visions of complicated Eastern European pastries danced in my head. He turned back to me beaming, obviously having found what he was looking for. He said, in very good English, 'we call it yellow.' I looked at the bright red wobbly mold and knew immediately what he was showing me. Apparently, Jello's universal too. I knew I could improve on it.
With purpose, I started thinking about what to make. Out contracts were on hold, so I found myself with a little extra time to work on it. I knew I wanted to flavor the gelatin with local fruit, and I found inspiration in our garden. Rhubarb, lemon verbena and a single blackberry resulted in a summer masterpiece that I was looking forward to sharing with Alexey. I set the gelatin in tiny cordial glasses, and the blackberry had given it the softest pink color, you could almost feel its innocence. It smelled of rhubarb but tasted of lemon verbena, and the single blackberry I set in each glass transformed into a jewel of rich perfume.
Unfortunately, the project ended abruptly and I didn't get to see him before he returned home. So this one's for you, Alexey!
Rhubarb Lemon Verbena Gelee with Blackberry
5 c water, divided
1 c sugar
3 stalks rhubarb, sliced in 3" pieces
8" stem lemon verbena, leaves removed and reserved
3 - 4 sheets gelatin (4 is firm, 3 is looser)
Whole blackberries
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat 4+1/2 c water with the sugar, stirring to dissolve.
- When the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and add the rhubarb, lemon verbena, and a single blackberry. Cover and steep for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the gelatin sheets to the remaining 1/2 c water and set aside to soften.
- After steeping the fruit and herbs, carefully strain into a bowl or glass measuring cup.
Note: In order to achieve a clear gelatin, I strained the liquid twice, the second time through a coffee filter.
- Squeeze the gelatin leaves of excess water, then whisk into the still-warm steeped liquid.
- Place a single blackberry in each serving dish, then carefully pour in the warm liquid.
- Chill until firm.

Gov. John Hickenlooper wants to attempt what would be the most sweeping changes in 40 years to the state's personnel system, which now is governed by regulations that rigidly dictate how state employees are hired and fired.
Fundamental changes would take a constitutional amendment, a heavy lift politically, while others could come in the form of legislation or revisions to state rules — still likely to be controversial.
Any change is uncertain; previous efforts to reform the system in recent years have failed.
But Hickenlooper, a Democrat, says the goal is to make it easier to attract and retain talented state employees.

"At this point, everything is in discussion," Hickenlooper said, "but our effort is to make sure that we take advantage of the experience and talent of our workforce, but at the same time, we create the flexibility within agencies that we can manage the enterprise — whatever it is — for maximum success."
"I think there's a sweet spot in there someplace where we can get the interests of the workforce and the interests of the state" to align, he said.
The level of chatter about the potential changes is high among state employees, who haven't gotten a raise in three years and who wouldn't get a raise next year under Hickenlooper's proposed budget. Meanwhile, their share of pension and health costs has steadily increased.
"We take these proposals extremely seriously," said Scott Wasserman, executive director of Colorado WINS, a union with several thousand dues-paying state workers who, however, don't have collective bargaining rights. "Our goal is to work in partnership with the governor to improve state services, while also maintaining" the current system's integrity.
Wasserman said the union would take any specific proposals to its members for input.
Hickenlooper's administration hasn't outlined specific proposals. It is looking at issues ranging from existing limitations on the number of candidates that can be considered for a job to "bumping rights" that guarantee senior employees who get laid off can push less-senior workers out of their positions.
"Colorado is somewhat unusual in that its human resources management authority is embedded in the constitution rather than in just statute," said Leslie Scott, executive director of the National Association of State Personnel Executives. "That can create some challenges in implementing some change."
The state's personnel system was born in the Progressive Era, first added to the constitution in 1918 and intended to create a merit-based system for hiring employees, free of cronyism and political patronage. The system, last revised by voters in 1970, also includes various laws and personnel rules that further interpret constitutional provisions or expand upon them.
The rules apply to about 30,000 "classified" state workers, including some at universities who are not faculty or administrators. Employees of the judicial and legislative branches are not covered.
The "Rule of Three," for example, is in the constitution and requires that any classified employee be hired only after it is determined they are "one of the three persons ranking highest" for the job.
Kathy Nesbitt, director of the Department of Personnel and Administration, said the way the rule works under the current system applicant screening is separated from hiring. Often, an agency has a panel, made up of people from inside or outside the agency who review job applications.
The panel selects three applicants from among the pool, and sends them on to the manager who will do the hiring. Nesbitt said that in one recent hiring situation, she personally saw how only interviewing three candidates was limiting.
"When I interviewed them, two individuals, while they may have minimally met the qualifications, the position would have far exceeded their capabilities," she said. "So I was left with just one person.
"I'm thinking that a pool should at least be 10 or 11 applicants."
If an agency doesn't like any of the three final candidates, it has to wait six months to re-post the job, Nesbitt said.
"Basically, what's happened is we've taken fitness out of the equation for the position," she said. "We've basically drilled it down, and it all goes into minimum qualifications and experiences. That's only half of the equation."
The constitution also requires that classified employees be Colorado residents, so hiring qualified workers outside the state requires a waiver from the State Personnel Board.
"Let's say you're looking for maybe a person that specializes in water rights or a person that has certain qualifications in mining," Nesbitt said. "Only looking in Colorado really limits the pool of applicants for a particular position."
Still, Nesbitt said the administration was unlikely to pursue major changes to the residency requirement because of the number of unemployed Coloradans. Instead, she said, a change might be targeted only toward management and principal positions.
Most controversial might be the administration's effort to change "bumping rights" that now allow senior employees to move into positions occupied by newer employees in the event of layoffs.
"Basically, this rule bumps out a person who is otherwise performing satisfactorily, or in an even worse case scenario, someone who is a stellar employee," she said.
The administration wants to limit bumping to only vacant positions for which a laid-off employee meets minimum qualifications.
Wasserman said employees themselves are divided on this issue, adding, "If you're very senior, you have a different perspective on bumping rights."
Nesbitt said the issue of temporary employment, which is constitutionally limited to six months, is another sore spot. The prohibition frequently hamstrings agencies that want to hire employees for a specific project, such as an information technology upgrade, that might take closer to a year, she said.
The result is these services sometimes must be outsourced, Nesbitt said.
Criticism of the state personnel system dates even back to 1938, when a report under then-Gov. Ralph Carr opined, "the purpose of securing for the state the best and most efficient service possible has been defeated by inability to change the outmoded machinery."
A 1993 blue-ribbon commission report blasted the personnel system as outmoded, saying, "Colorado's highly professional and dedicated state workforce is not well-served by the current system, and if the state expects to attract and retain quality employees in the years to come, reform is necessary."
But a 2004 statewide ballot issue to overhaul the personnel system failed, with 60.8 percent of Coloradans against and 39.2 percent in favor.
Nesbitt said the last update in 1970 was too long ago.
"If you think about what the workforce looked like 40 years ago, you can imagine just in technology alone going from now we have iPhones and iPods and before we had rotary phones," Nesbitt said. "I think 40 years for a policy review is overdue."

I was wondering if anyone here is planning on homeschooling their November 2007 child. If so were you planning on using a system and if so which one? Also, does anyone have other children as well. Along with my November 2007 son I also have a 8 month old and am concerned about being able to homeschool with a little one. Also. I am part of a moms group in town and some other mommies wondered if I was interested in starting a co-op preschool. Sorry about the overusage of the word Also:) Any thoughts?

From fifth floor balcony fall to Belfast Marathon – Ilford man makes incredible recovery
12:05 26 April 2012
A man who came "extremely close to dying" after he fell 70ft from a friend's balcony will mark the anniversary of his accident by defying doctors and running a marathon.
Sam Kean, 21, of Auckland Road, Ilford, fell from the balcony of a friend's fifth floor flat in London on May 7 and will mark the anniversary by competing in the Belfast Marathon.
Suffering a long list of injuries, including a fractured pelvis, punctured lungs and broken elbows, Sam is now raising money for St Mary's Hospital, in Praed Street, London where he recovered for over a month.
His fundraising has seen him nominated for the Recorder/Redbridge Rotary Club Young Citizen Award, sponsored by Exchange Ilford.
On July 11, Sam was discharged from Queen's Hospital, Romford, where he spent about three weeks of his recovery.
He then endured a further month bed-bound at home before finally beginning to walk again three months after the fall.
His progress has been quick and he returned to work as an accountant assistant just six months after the accident, leaving doctors "astonished".
He said: "I can't remember the fall, I can't even remember the weeks before it.
"I was in a coma for just over three weeks and when I woke up I had no idea what had happened. "A week after my fall my parents were blue-lighted through London to say goodbye to me, so I was extremely close to dying.
"The hospital are astonished that I'm not paralysed or in a wheelchair."
Sam spent his 21st birthday in a wheelchair, but his competitive edge has seen him push his body to its physical limits by running 26.2 miles as a thank you for the care he received.
He added: "I have raised over £740 already, so I think I'll beat my £1,000 target."
