Hazelnuts (Filberts)
About Hazelnuts
The hazelnut is the hard-shelled fruit of the hazelnut tree. Hazelnuts, also known as filberts from European folklore, are believed to have originated over 5000 years ago in prehistoric China. Currently, the world's top three producers of hazelnuts are Turkey, Italy, and the United States. Nearly 100% of the U.S. crop for hazelnuts comes from the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Today, hazelnuts are prized for their many health benefits, as well as for a wealth of culinary applications around the world.
Hazelnuts Health Benefits
1) Heart Health: Most nuts contain a high amount of unsaturated fat, aka "good" fat. Filberts contain almost 80 percent monounsaturated fat and less than 4 percent saturated fat. Replacing saturated fat with monounsaturated fat is known to reduce total blood and LDL "bad" cholesterol levels, making hazelnuts a very heart-healthy snack option.
2) Super Antioxidant Strength: The antioxidant levels present in hazelnuts are comparable to those of many superfoods. Hazelnuts have one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scores of any nut; ORAC is the most widely accepted method of measuring antioxidants, the compounds that fight damaging free radicals in the body. Further, filberts contained the highest proanthocyanidins (PACs) concentration of any tree nut. PACs have antioxidant capabilities that are 20 times more potent than Vitamin C and 50 times more than Vitamin E.
3) Rich Source of Folate: Hazelnuts are the richest source of folate among tree nuts. Folate, also known as folic acid or vitamin B-12, is essential for many of our body's metabolic processes. It aids the production of red blood cells, supports brain function and cardiovascular health, and reduces the risk of neural tube defects.
4) Even More Nutrients: The health benefits of hazelnuts don't stop there. Like most nuts, filberts are a good source of protein, dietary fiber, iron, and potassium. They also contain over 20% of the Daily Value (DV) of copper and over 80% DV of manganese. Copper helps our bodies utilize iron and supports the development of bones and connective tissue. Manganese regulates blood sugar levels, aids calcium absorption, and supports bone health.
Taste and Uses
Hazelnuts have a delicate nutty flavor and mildly bitter skin, and are a common addition to many desserts and confectionery goods. Filberts pair exceptionally well with chocolate, a combination which makes Nutella, a chocolate-hazelnut spread, widely popular. Chopped hazelnuts can be used as a crust for fish or chicken, while hazelnut flour adds a nutty appeal to cakes, cookies, and baked goods. Hazelnut paste is often made from roasted filberts and sugar, and is used in tortes and pastries to add a touch of elegance and sweetness. Hazelnut oil is renowned for its many health benefits, and can be used to dress up salads and marinades or bring a subtle nutty flavor to baking.
How are hazelnuts harvested?
Hazelnut trees thrive in cool, moist climates and require the chill to break dormancy. The trees are ready for harvest during mid-autumn when the nuts begin falling to the ground on their own; mechanical shakers are rarely used to remove nuts from the trees since they will not be ripe yet. Instead, in commercial harvesting, various equipment is used to collect the filberts from the ground, separate them from excess leaves and empty husks, and haul them to processing facilities. The hazelnuts are dried and the remaining husks are removed manually or by machine. The nuts are then sorted by size, cleaned, and shelled or left unshelled for sale.
We also offer Wholesale Hazelnuts.

Providence midwives pair traditional practices with technology
Midwifery has long been an option for women wanting to deliver their babies with minimal medical intervention. Providence Health & Services has paired the personal support of midwifery with the modern comforts of a hospital since 1993.
Women can receive Providence's midwifery services at
Providence Maternal Care Clinic
in Portland. Providence has only certified nurse-midwives, meaning they are nurses with master's or doctoral degrees in science or nursing.
Linda Nelson, midwife and clinical supervisor at Providence Maternal Care Clinic, says most women choose to use a midwife because they want one-on-one care before, during and after the baby is born. "We honor the individual choices of women and work to help them have a healthy pregnancy, including labor, delivery and postpartum care," Linda says. "It gives them a feeling of having control over their own experience."
Women can look forward to having a certified nurse-midwife support their hospital delivery. The midwives are trained to know when medical procedures like cesarean sections are necessary, and partner with obstetricians in case patients need more specialized treatment. "Midwives approach pregnancy as a condition of wellness," Linda says. "They are very flexible and accommodating to whatever sort of birth experience a woman wants."

DIY Home Theater with $95K Sound System
Home theater combines huge audio with old-world charm.
Practice makes perfect. In the case of Sarasota, Fla., residents Mark and Mary Pierson, it was the third attempt at a home theater that netted a near nirvana entertainment space. Unlike the Pierson's prior two theaters, this 18-by-28-foot room would be built from scratch while their home was under construction. This would give them the opportunity to apply what they had learned in their earlier attempts and would provide them a blank canvas to design it exactly the way they wanted, without minimal structural or space constraints.
One of the highest priorities was audio, as the room would be used to listen to music at reference levels as well as to watch movies. More than $95,000 worth in Genelec speakers, powered by Lexicon MC-8B processor, would deliver the monstrous sound. "I'm a rock-and-roller, so I went with a sound system that would knock your socks off," Mark says.
Big sound usually requires big speakers, which presented the DIYers with one of their first challenges: fitting the center-channel speaker into the planned layout of the room. The plan was to place the center speaker, as well as the front left and right speakers, behind the 146-inch acoustically transparent SMX Pro-Line screen. Measuring 17 inches deep, the Genelec HT320BC required more space than they had anticipated. Unable to move the screen forward, the Piersons had no choice but to burrow the speaker into the wall of the concrete foundation. "We fabricated a ¼-inch thick aluminum insert into the concrete block wall and lined it would sound board to house the center-channel speaker," Mark explains. The fixit would impact the exterior of the house, too, creating a bump out that the homeowners creatively disguised as a decorative feature.
Also built into the walls (a back wall this time) is a Digital Projection M-Vision Cine260-HC video projector and an impressive rack of equipment, which houses not only the theater gear (see list below), but also components for the home's Vantage lighting system, Sonos whole-house music system, Elk security system, Lutron motorized shading system, Atlona A/V distribution, and an iRule control system. (The Piersons use an iRule app to operate the theater equipment from an iPad.). A 9-by-10-foot equipment behind the wall gives Mark, a self-described "audio nerd," easy access to component and cabling. "There are so many excellent control solutions available, but I wanted to have the ability to make changes as my equipment needs changed."
To this equipment room Mark ran at least 1 mile of Category 5/6 cabling and topped it off with a dedicated 100-amp electrical panel.
Mark didn't let his adoration of technology overrule room aesthetics. "Choosing and sticking with the theme was one of our main goals," he says. As a departure from their usual contemporary style, they went with an Old-World design, incorporating unique elements, such as a huge cypress door and vintage cast iron balustrades that help conceal the Genelec subwoofer. Even the door handles have a history. The battle axe which serves as a handle on the cypress door was acquired by Mark's parents in the late 1960s during a trip to Spain; the handle on the door to the equipment room is a sword from that same excursion.

text: Thats a great encounter set up. The anvils look great as do the shadows. The embers in the forges look a little tiled as the pattern repeats itself quite a lot. Lighting is one of those "black magic" things. I can spend hours working on a lighting effect only to decide that I don't like it. I can give you a couple of tips though. When I need something to be really dark with a dramatic light effect I use what I call a "dark layer" usually a layer of black set to either "overlay" or "soft light" I mess with the opacity until I get what I'm looking for. Then you can make a layer of bright light (in this case over your forges) and then with a big soft eraser with a fuzzy brush erase over the forges to reveal the light source. A blur on both layers helps blend it together. This looks like it's going to be a lot of fun to follow.

Caught the Pup for the First Time
Posted 15 January 2013 - 11:54 AM
While I began to star hop through the H400 galaxies in Ursa Major, I could hear the two other observers as they split the Pup from the Dog Star. I went over to their scopes and took a look. Both showed a good split. Fortunately, the Pup was situated almost exactly between two diffraction spikes and was nearly due east. I thought, "Well, I've never done that. The seeing is pretty good and Sirius is high enough. I'll give it a go."
First I put my BGO 7mm in the focuser. This gave me 171x. Nope, not good enough for the Pup. Next I tried the BGO 6mm at 200x. Nada. The Pup was still lost in Sirius' glare.
Then I put in my XO 5.1mm. Success! There was the Pup showing timidly between two spikes of light. The split was good, but at 235x, it was not as pretty as I like. So I replaced the XO 5.1 with the XO 2.5. Now that was nice! A clean and pretty split at 465x. No blinking in and out, but a steady appearance with good clarity and color.
The image of the Pup in the XO 2.5 was distinct, completely beyond the glare of Sirius, and the color was clear and bright. The Pup star appeared to have a slightly light-blue tinge to my eyes. It also seemed to have this cast in the other two Dobs.
I finally popped the Pup!
I regret, though, that I did not try other eyepieces that I had in the case. I wonder how my XW 3.5, UO Ortho 4 or Radian 4mm would have performed? Maybe next time.

''... the primary star which shines 10,000 times brighter.
Taras,good point.It reminds me of something and make me ask the following question:how hard is to see the Pup/companion of Sirius compared to see the companion of Antares?
I saw more times the companion of Antares in my 125mm F/7 Dobsonian but never the companion of Sirius.
There are differences between this two systems but there are also strong similarities.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 03:21 PM
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:58 PM
Sirius and Antares are not similar star systems, Sirius was once a binary star where Sirius B was born with five solar masses. Then it expanded into a red giant before finally turning into a white dwarf 120 million years ago. That is why it is very massive, small, dense and searingly hot for a white dwarf with a surface temperature of 25,000 degrees C. Antares is a red supergiant with a mass of 15 or 20 Suns with a peculiar blue sub-dwarf that has a luminosity of some 50 Suns. It's is rich in iron and other heavy elements, but only hydrogen can be detected in Sirius B's high pressure and density atmopshere. So no, these systems are not that alike, except one star aged and died first, and transfered somehow a lot of their outer envelopes to their companions. That increased their mass, luminosity and sped up their evolution towards the planetary nebula and or supernova stage. Both star systems will be the site of a supernova in the future, fortunately at a safe distance from Earth.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 09:12 PM
This really brought home to me the importance of high magnification for double star observation. A crystal clear image at about 47x per inch! I don't usually go that high for planet, lunar or DSO viewing. But I always collimate my 10" Dob very carefully with a Cheshire/sight tube followed by an autocollimator. And I have a fan blowing beneath the primary mirror. I'm sure these measures helped.
I don't recall ever seeing the companion of Antares. I'm not sure if I ever made the attempt. Antares is way easier than the Pup? I'm definitely giving it a try this summer!

It was also an opportune time to split Sirius. The seeing was good, the separation is wide now (about 9'' I believe), and Sirius B was situated right between two of my spider vanes. If the Pup was behind one of Sirius' spikes, I probably couldn't have seen it. My 10" Dob's OTA can rotate, but that is a PITA to do in the dark.

Thank you also for all the interesting data.
When I mentioned similarities between the Pup and the companion of Antares, it was strictly from observational point of view:bright main star and close, dim companion.
It still puzzle me that I had more opportunities to see the companion of Antares,which is much lower in the sky than Sirius.
The season when each cross the meridian in the evening it have probably something to do with it.
Posted 21 January 2013 - 09:56 PM
I think that I observed it intermittantly last year but was convinced my imagination played a part. This year - Booyah!
Posted 01 February 2013 - 12:47 AM
How have others seen the Pup's color? Sirius B is supposed to be a white dwarf. To me, it looked white with a definite tinge of light-blue. This was in all three telescopes and with all the eyepieces that would split it from Sirius.
I agree with your color observation - a hint of blue in the white. Congrats on the split. I split it 3 years ago with a 10" dob, magnification about 220x. Requires very steady skies.

Well, the term "white dwarf" refers to the type of star (an ancient collapsed one no longer producing energy by nuclear fusion) and not necessarily its color. White dwarfs can have color indices from nearly -1 (bluish) to around +1.4 (yellowish-orange), so they aren't exactly all "white". Sirius-B has a color index of -0.12, so it would definitely be a bluish-white color similar to that of Regulus or Lambda Tauri-A. Clear skies to you.
Posted 08 February 2013 - 01:42 AM
The Pup star appeared to have a slightly light-blue tinge to my eyes. It also seemed to have this cast in the other two Dobs.
That seems normal, given its temperature of 25,000K.
BTW, I'm pretty sure I nabbed the Pup in the 6" newtonian - just for the challenge. Seeing was good but not outstanding, so I only had a few moments when I could see it appear out of nothing, faint but unmistakably round and at the correct distance from the primary, due east. The diffraction rings from the primary were quite steady when the Pup showed up, so I'm pretty sure the observation is legit.
I used 255x and 340x magnification that night, but I can't remember which one I was actually using when the Pup was peeking out from behind the veil of turbulence. Either way, the diffraction pattern was looking sharp at either magnification - to the extent allowed by turbulence.
I'm going to keep trying with the little scope until I catch a longer sequence of excellent seeing.
Posted 08 February 2013 - 08:23 AM
I have the feeling that you might have better luck seeing the Pup with your 6" Newt - as long as the spider vanes are out of the way, and depending on the f/number - than with my 6" SCT. But this is my first SCT and I'm still finding out what I can expect from it.

Red Wing Minnesota
Driver Education
Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Red Wing Minnesota Learner's Permit or first Red Wing Minnesota driver's license. Red Wing Minnesota has a Graduated Driver License Program for Red Wing Minnesota teen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your Red Wing Minnesota driver's license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's get started.
Red Wing Minnesota Instructional Permit and Red Wing Minnesota Learner's Permit
The minimum age to apply for a Red Wing Minnesota Instruction Permit is 15. You'll need to make an appointment at your local Red Wing Minnesota Driver Vehicle Service (DVS) office after you complete the following:
Bring these materials to your local Red Wing Minnesota DVS. Then you'll have to pass the required vision and written tests. If you survived, then congratulations! You just earned your Red Wing Minnesota Instruction Permit, which is valid for 2 years.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - Rick Nash registered the go-ahead and
insurance tallies in the third period, as the New York Rangers shook off the
absence of a key player to overcome the Philadelphia Flyers, 4-2, at Madison
Square Garden.
Ryan Callahan added two early scores for the Rangers, who did not have the
services of center Brad Richards after he was injured Sunday night on an
illegal hit by Buffalo's Patrick Kaleta, but nonetheless won their sixth
straight home game against Philadelphia.
Henrik Lundqvist made 23 saves as the Blueshirts have taken three straight
Wayne Simmonds and Jakub Voracek notched power-play scores for the Flyers, who
slipped below .500 (11-12-1) after seeing a two-game win streak snapped.
Ilya Bryzgalov stopped just 16 pucks in defeat.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A local mother who begged the court system for help was turned away. In the midst of a contentious custody battle, she feared for the safety of her daughters. Similar cases are playing out across the country.
A videotape shows the two girls and their father. Only in retrospect is the videotape utterly chilling. It's the voice of a father with his little girls.
"They adored him. He was the fun Daddy," said their mother, Kristi.
That day, Rob King bought each of his twin daughters a fish, signed them up for swim lessons and gave them a bath. Hours later, he pumped carbon monoxide into their bedroom and slit their throats.
"And I was too late....I went and knocked on the door and the carbon monoxide detector was going off. And at that moment, I knew they were dead. Because they hated noise," remembered Kristi.
Rob King killed himself that same night.
Rob and Kristi were in the midst of a bitter divorce and custody battle. Kristi had offered joint custody of the three-year-olds. Rob wanted the girls to himself.
Kristi told us, "If it wasn't his way, it was no way."
In the months leading up to the murders, Kristi says her estranged husband's behavior grew increasingly erratic. She pleaded with a court-appointed mediator to push for an emergency hearing.
"She said he didn't qualify because he hadn't been diagnosed with anything. Despite the every ten minute texting, the shoplifting," recalled Kristi.
Kristi says she was told there was no appointment available for a psychiatric evaluation for several months.
"I told the mediator he looks at porn," said Kristi. "None of them would help."
Sadly, Kristi's case is not unique. In a recent two-year period, the Center for Judicial Excellence tracked news reports that indicated fathers killed their own children in more than 100 cases related to custody and visitation disputes.
"I sent my lawyer and the guardian ad litem pictures of them in their casket," said Kristi. "I was angry."
Kristi is speaking now, despite her infinite grief, in hopes that family courts will listen closely to parents who express fear for their children's safety.
She said, "When I show you a text that says 'I'm gonna make sure all your children are taken from you,' you need to listen."
Today, the matching pink tricycles are parked for good, the laughter of two little girls silenced.
"My thought was that he would kidnap them. I didn't think he would kill them," shared Kristi.
Kristi now collects angels, since her two are gone." She told us, "This is hell. This isn't life."

Police: Florida gunman called 911 before killing 6
Published: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 2:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 2:30 p.m.
MIAMI — The man who shot and killed six people at his South Florida apartment complex before being gunned down by police called 911 hours before the shooting to say he was being followed.
In the bizarre, 12-minute call, Pedro Vargas asked a dispatcher to run the license plate of a vehicle outside his building. He also said he was the victim of someone doing witchcraft against him.
A recording of the call was released Wednesday by the Hialeah Police Department.
At one point, the dispatcher asked to speak with Vargas' mother. The elderly woman got on the phone and told the dispatcher her son was acting disturbed and that she wanted to get him an appointment with a psychiatrist.
She declined a dispatcher's offer to send police to the apartment.

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is disease of any blood vessel that is not part of the heart or brain. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is caused by deposits of fatty material called atheroma in arteries of the legs. Since arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the cells of the body, a reduction in blood flow can cause bodily organs to fail.
This is a serious condition that requires care from your doctor. The sooner PAD is treated, the better the outcome. If you suspect you have this condition, contact your doctor.
PAD is usually caused by a gradual buildup of plaque called
that happens within the arteries. Other causes include blood clots or embolisms, congenital heart disease, and inflammation of the blood vessels called vasculitis.
PAD can be hereditary. You also may get PAD if you are overweight or
obese, or have
high blood pressure,
diabetes, or
high cholesterol. Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as smoking, eating a high-fat diet, and not getting enough exercise lead to PAD.
Factors that increase your chance of developing PAD include:
Symptoms of PAD are related to the organ or part of the body deprived of blood. This includes:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A
physical exam
will be done.
During the exam, your doctor may:
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Images may need to be taken of your internal bodily structures. This can be done with:
Your heart activity may need to be tested. This can be done with
electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG).
Early treatment can slow or stop the disease. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Your doctor may prescribe:
Procedures may include:
Surgery to open up narrowed arteries is performed in severe cases.
If you are diagnosed with PAD, follow your doctor's
To help reduce your chances of getting PAD, make the lifestyle changes listed above under treatment.

Morden Sunrise Winter Kill
Last year I got a lovely Morden Sunrise rosebush for my new front garden. It did well at first and then suffered a lot of leaf loss before going dormant for the winter. This spring its top growth is all winter killed and will require pruning back but there is life in the crown. Should I just yank this rose out or give it another chance? All the research points to it being a good selection but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced less than happy times with this variety as well?

Re: Morden Sunrise Winter Kill
I don't have a rose that the top growth doesn't get killed off in winter.All my roses need to be pruned back in spring.Don't pull it out,just prune back and it will send out new canes.I had 2 that rabbits chewed right back,but they are sending out new canes now,they were slower than the rest,but they are growing.

Re: Morden Sunrise Winter Kill
I guess I was expecting at least some canes to survive and help this baby grow into a nice big bush rather starting over at base each spring. There is growth waaaaay down low already so we'll see how it does this year. It has lovely blossoms when in bloom. Love the yellow to pinkish apricot colour combination.

Heck, I would take Cruz but he willl get some good money from NYG and wont be leaving there. While Wallace, Bowe, Jennings seem to be the big names on that list, I'm just not too high on them and don't think they will be worth the money they will demand.
Hartline is interesting but not worth the reported $5-6 million he wants.
What do you think about Donnie Avery or Brandon Gibson? Might be worth looking at and will be able to get at a good price, imo.

Comeback stories are common in the world of sports. We hear about players coming back from torn ACLs, broken bones and even personal trauma.
Rarely, however, do we hear about an athlete returning from pacemaker surgery.
That's what 91-year-old Sy Perlis overcame to set a new world record in the 90-and-over weightlifting class. The Surprise, Ariz., native recently competed at the National Push-Pull Bench Press and Dead Lift Championships, and his final hoist of 187.5 pounds was good for the record books.
Perlis, a World War II veteran who didn't start lifting until he was 60, dominated the 85-to-90 age group before transitioning into the 90-and-over class. He had to sit out last year after surgery to fix a hernia and implant a pacemaker. Now he works out five days a week.
"It gave me the opportunity to do something to test myself for one thing, and I didn't have to run around to do it, as you would in some other sports," Perlis told the Arizona Republic of weightlifting. "I got a lot of satisfaction out of it, and it made me feel good, and it was good for me."
Perlis' hobby hasn't just been beneficial for him, it's also motivated his wife.
"I always say if it weren't for my husband, I'd be at home watching TV and eating bonbons," Joan Perlis, 69, told the Arizona Republic. "He's my motivator. He makes me work out, too."

At CSULB, we collect many different types of data about our students and use these findings to improve our practices. On the pages of this website, you will see highlights of what we consider to be important characteristics and learning outcomes of our student body. The diversity of our programming is great, but we work for common purposes: to enhance the learning and development of our students, and help them succeed in accomplishing their goals.
Our data collection procedures vary from large-scale surveys to department-based assessments of programs that impact student success. CSULB is a participant in the Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) for the annual freshman survey as well as the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), a survey program for measuring student satisfaction and campus engagement. Departments throughout the University systematically collect data using quantitative and qualitative procedures. In addition, CSULB conducts its own student satisfaction survey every three years, and participates in the national Collegiate Learning Assessment for measuring critical writing skills of freshmen and seniors.
A major component of the Division of Student Affairs vision is to "embrace a culture of evidence that strives for continued quality improvement in our programs and services." Therefore, it has developed a comprehensive assessment program that includes several of the aforementioned large scale survey programs, national, state, and campus based testing programs, the measurement of departmental student learning outcomes, and periodic program reviews.
Institutional Research & Assessment in Academic Affairs provides campus leadership for the collection and dissemination of population data concerning students, faculty, and staff. Institutional Research offers programs such as On-Demand Reporting and Dashboard that provide instant reports of enrollment trends, student enrollment throughout the institution, and student progress to degree.
Program Review and Assessment in Academic Affairs provides leadership for the measurement of college-based, department and program-level student learning outcomes.
The strength of CSULB assessment programs comes from the partnerships of Student Affairs and Academic Affairs. We are equally committed to maintaining and strengthening our assessment practices for the well-being and growth of our students.

Baltimore Ravens are a thug team and should be banned from playing in NFL. All game long they took late hits against the Pats, taking shots against the Pats when they were on the ground,out abounds or in the air. I have never seen so many helmut to helmut hits as last night by the Ravens. Their style of play will lead to the end of professional football !!
The Ravens defense plays "Tatumn style defense" led by Pollard who should be thrown out of the league.The man has taken out Welker, Gronk and Ridley with illegal head to head hits. Why does the NFL allow him to keep playing. Lewis is another crazy man who leads with his helmut and takes cheap shots at players already on the ground .
With concussions being a huge problem in the league why would the league allow teams like the Ravens to excist at all? The Ravens style of play has caused most of the head injuries we are now seeing on retired players,like Jr Seau.Repeated head injuries cause brain desease like Alzimers and Parkisons.
If the Ravems win the Superbowl other teams will try and copy their style of defense and more players will get seriously hurt. The NFL should take a look at the film, fine the Ravens coach for promoting this goon style of play and bannish Pollard from the league. If the league does nothing---they will be condoning the head hunting and attorney's for the injured will file law suit after lawsuit against the NFL. The league will fold and Football will be dead .

Transforming Maternity Care Project
What is the Transforming Maternity Care Project?Transforming Maternity Care is Childbirth Connection's ongoing project to improve the care that is provided to childbearing women and newborns by improving the systems in which care is delivered. Despite the dedication of many hard-working maternity professionals, many mothers and babies are not receiving the best care. Some procedures are overused, and other beneficial practices are not used enough. Trends in the U.S. have been going in the wrong direction for many indicators, and other countries that spend far less have better maternal and newborn outcomes.
Many system-level factors contribute to these disappointing results. For example, payment systems encourage high rates of some procedures — such as cesarean section — in this largely healthy population, but rarely pay for some types of beneficial care — such as help with smoking cessation, doula services and breastfeeding support programs. Some basic skills — e.g., attending vaginal breech births — are being lost because trainees do not have a chance to learn them. Pregnant women are choosing labor induction for convenience because they do not have information about downsides, for example, that every week counts in the health of their babies and also that induction can greatly increase the likelihood of cesarean section in some situations.The Transforming Maternity Care project has engaged stakeholders from across the health system to develop a consensus about the kind of maternity care mothers and babies need and to identify priority steps for getting there. These are outlined in two pathbreaking reports released in January 2010:

America's 10 Poorest Cities
America's road to economic recovery has been long and slow -- and uneven. Some parts of the country are doing a lot worse than others. It's a pattern that shows up in the jobs numbers, poverty rates, foreclosures. But if you want a quick, simple gauge of how any part of the U.S. is doing economically, just look at its median household income.

|Holyoke native Bryan Elder pins on lieutenant colonel
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
During a ceremony held May 1 at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, Brigadier General Robert Givens presided over the official ceremony as Holyoke native Bryan Elder was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Held at Air Combat Command Headquarters in Virginia, the ceremony included fellow military members of the A8Z, weapons requirement team, friends and family to include Elder's parents Jim and Dorinda Elder, grandmother Darlene Danner and wife and children Shannon, Benjamin, Izabelle and Elliana.
Elder began his career in 1998 when he graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs with a Bachelor of Science in behavioral science. He was married to his wife Shannon at the Air Force Academy Chapel in July 1999.
Elder then began pilot training at Vance Air Force Base in Oklahoma where he graduated third in his class and returned as a first assignment instructor pilot in the T-38.
Following T-38s, Elder transitioned to flying the F-16 fighter aircraft at Luke Air Force Base where he graduated as a distinguished graduate from F-16 FTU. His assignments in the F-16 included Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico and Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.
While flying the F-16, Elder deployed to Misawa, Japan; Balad Air Base, Iraq; and Camp Victory, Iraq. He was able to earn the Army Commendation Medal and Air Medal during his most recent deployments to Iraq for his actions supporting ground troops engaged in enemy fire while flying his F-16 aircraft.
During one specific mission, Elder was able to drop four 500-pound weapons in order to neutralize enemy fire while enabling a U.S. special operations team to successfully capture a high value individual.
Elder most recently completed Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama where he graduated as a distinguished graduate in the top 10 percent of 508 U.S. officers, civilians and international officers, earning a master's degree in military arts and science.
He currently is on the Air Combat Command staff in Virginia as the weapon system team lead for direct attack requirements for the Air Force.
The lieutenant colonel will be moving this summer to Enid, Okla., where he has been selected to be the next director of operations for a T-6 undergraduate pilot training squadron.
Elder is the grandson of the late Rex and Dorothy Elder.

Thorough security checks are carried out at all airports that Dragonair operates from. In these checks, local authorities will confiscate items of potential danger to the aircraft or its passengers, e.g. pocket knives, scissors, and any bladed or sharp items. If these items are handed over to Dragonair by the authorities, they will be kept at the intercepted airports for seven days for your collection, after which, they will be disposed of. They will not be forwarded to your destination or delivered to you. To avoid possible inconvenience, we suggest that you pack such items in your checked baggage.
We will not be responsible for, nor have any liability in respect of, items removed from passengers or their baggage by airport security personnel acting in accordance with international or government regulations, whether or not any such items are subsequently retained or destroyed by such airport security personnel, or are passed by such airport security personnel to us.

Children's human rights
Millions of children around the world are exploited, abused, and discriminated against. They need special protection to promote their physical, mental, spiritual, moral, and social development. These children include child labourers, children affected by armed conflict, sexually exploited children, children in conflict with the law or in the care of the state, as well as children living on the streets, coping with disabilities, or suffering from discrimination because of their religious or ethnic-minority status.
It is because of the unique vulnerability of children that their rights are of priority concern within Canada's foreign policy. Canada played a key role in the negotiations that led to the adoption in 1989 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. This Convention, which is the most widely and rapidly ratified of the core international human rights treaties, together with its two Optional Protocols (the Optional Protocol on Children in Armed Conflict and on the Optional Protocol on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography), provides a solid foundation for the protection of children's rights worldwide.
Children's rights have earned increased attention across the United Nations spectrum. Resolutions on the rights of the child have been adopted at both the Human Rights Council, and its predecessor the UN Commission on Human Rights, and the UN General Assembly. The UN has designated November 20 as Universal Children's Day, marking the day on which the Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.
In 1990, Canada co-chaired the World Summit for Children where a 10-year agenda was established for improving the lives of children. In May 2002, the United Nations held a Special Session on Children to reaffirm the commitment of governments to complete the unfinished agenda of the 1990 World Summit and establish important new goals and strategies for children in the fields of health, education, protection against abuse, exploitation and violence, as well as in the struggle against HIV/AIDS. The outcome also builds on the Secretary-General's report "We the Children: End-of Decade review of the follow-up to the World Summit for Children" (PDF Version, 989 KB)*.
Much of Canada's work in advancing children's rights is focussed on children in need of special protection measures, including areas such as child labour, sexual exploitation of children and children affected by armed conflict.

Cult sports movie "Cool Runnings" is repeating in real life after Jamaica's bobsleigh team qualified for the upcoming Winter Olympic Games and a crowdsourcing campaign was launched to fund their trip to Russia.
The popular 1993 comedy, starring Leon Robinson and Doug E. Doug, was loosely based on the Jamaican national team's debut in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada, during which they crashed and failed to reach the finish line.
The film is now back in the news after it was announced the Jamaican national team has qualified for next month's games in Sochi, Russia, but has been struggling financially.
One of the original Jamaican bobsledders, Devon Harris, has thrown his weight behind a fundraising campaign to get the two-man team to the Olympics, calling the drive "Cool Runnings 2," and it has exceeded the initial $80,000 target after garnering overwhelming support from the public.
The campaign had raised more than $111,000 on Tuesday, and Harris admits he is thrilled with the response, writing in a post on the Crowdtilt.com website, "Let me take a minute to say a big thank you to all the friends and well-wishers of the Jamaica bobsleigh team… We are grateful for your overwhelming show of support. The monies you donated will be used to cover training expenses (food, board, traveling, track fees, etc), and equipment purchases as they team (sic) completes its final preparation for the Games. Funds will also be earmarked to ship the sled and related equipment to Russia."
"Cool Runnings" was voted the most heart-warming movie of all time in a Lovefilm poll last year.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - In the wake of the Connecticut massacre, the debate over gun control has intensified. And now, even gun owners and advocates are speaking out about their desire for reasonable restrictions, especially on high-capacity magazines.
Andrea McCarren spoke with a Maryland gun owner and father who is part of a growing chorus of voices, including gun owners, whose view of gun control changed after the massacre of children in Connecticut.
"I don't want our society, our teachers, our parents to have to live in fear every day that their seven year old might get shot in the face eleven times," said Kevin Omland.
Omland is a university professor, a gun owner and an avid hunter. He's also the father of a 7-year-old boy.
He owns a shotgun and is also a bow hunter, who's unsure of what restrictions need to be put in place, just that something needs to change.
"We need to focus on the evidence. What is going to save the most lives? What is really necessary? And to me the high capacity magazines seems like the most obvious," said Omland.
I don't believe that John Q. Public needs to have an assault rifle or a handgun," said Maryland resident Barbara Crawford.
Nor does Barbara Crawford think any civilian needs a high-capacity magazine. Her husband is a gun owner.
"We need the kids and the teachers to be able to educate themselves for tomorrow. Not whether they're going to live today," said gun owner Omland.
As if to punctuate his new perspective, Omland's 7-year-old son is having a lockdown drill at school this week, learning what to do in the event of a mass shooting.

Today Yahoo reports that Final Fantasy XIII has sold over 1 million PS3 copies on launch day in Japan, and PS3 Dev rickylyh confirmed it weighs in at 37.6GB in size on a dual-layer Blu-ray disc with a 1.6GB system cache in dev_hdd1 used to aid in loading.
This figure doesn't include the system bundles, however, but Square Enix managed to ship 1.8 million copies total (including bundles) to retail stores.
Unfortunately, unless you are looking to import the much-anticipated RPG, you'll have to wait until March of next year for it to arrive in other regions.
For those curious, Final Fantasy XIII will be released in the US and Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 9, 2010.
