A father delivered his baby when it arrived unexpectedly early - just hours after he watched chidlbirth videos on YouTube.
Marc Stephens thought he had three weeks' grace before the birth of his fourth child.
But with his nerves beginning to fray, he thought he ought to swot up and watch internet clips of babies being born.
"I spent about half a hour on Google and watched a couple of videos on YouTube.
"One was a cheesy American video called 'This is how you give birth'," he said.
He also checked out the video 'How to deliver a baby in a taxi cab'.
The 28-year-old naval engineer turned to YouTube after using the site to teach himself to play the guitar and solve a Rubik's Cube.
But less than four hours after watching the birth clips, his wife Jo's stomach pains had established themselves as labour contractions.
Mr Stephens was on the phone to a midwife when he realised the baby's head was already appearing.
"To be honest, I didn't have time to panic," he said.
Baby Gabriele, a 5lb 5oz boy, was delivered speedily at the family home in Redruth, Cornwall, long before paramedics had chance to get there.
Mother and baby were later taken to their local hospital for a check-up.

If she sink, she be no witch and shall be drowned.
If she float, she be a witch and must be hanged.
Meg Lytton has always known she is differentthat she bears a dark and powerful gift. But in 1554 England, in service at Woodstock Palace to the banished Tudor princess Elizabeth, it has never been more dangerous to practise witchcraft. Meg knows she must guard her secret carefully from the many suspicious eyes watching over the princess and her companions. One wrong move could mean her life, and the life of Elizabeth, rightful heir to the English throne.
With witchfinder Marcus Dent determined to have Meg's hand in marriage, and Meg's own family conspiring against the English queen, there isn't a single person Meg can trust. Certainly not the enigmatic young Spanish priest Alejandro de Castillo, despite her undeniable feelings. But when all the world turns against her, Meg must open her heart to a dangerous choice.
The Secret Circle meets The Other Boleyn Girl in Witchstruck, the first book of the magical Tudor Witch trilogy.
Editorial Reviews
Gr 8 Up—In 1554 England, Meg Lytton, 15, demonstrates an uncanny power for witchcraft that strengthens her relationship with the banished Tudor princess Elizabeth, yet also threatens their lives. Elizabeth yearns to discover whether she will ultimately become Queen in place of her half-sister, Mary. Will the current Queen die so that she can be crowned, or will Elizabeth be convicted for treason and hanged for abandoning the Catholic faith? Only Meg and her Aunt Jane can conjure a spell to reveal the answers Elizabeth craves. A well-balanced blend of magic and historical facts about 16th-century England will lure readers into an exotic and grim world. Witchfinders, men who mercilessly condemned innocent people, add danger to the plot while the arrival of a handsome stranger from Spain contributes romantic intrigue. Stark descriptions (e.g., "the lamb's entrails began to spill bloodily onto the floor") deliver images that are not easily forgotten. The most complex character in the book is the proud Elizabeth, who emerges as surprisingly vulnerable as she is valiant. Fans of all things "magick" will find themselves both enriched and bewitched by this first installment in a planned series. This commendable book should be a first purchase for most libraries; it will leave readers anticipating the sequel.—Etta Anton, Yeshiva of Central Queens, NY

Read an Excerpt
When the power falls on me, it buzzes in the warm, dark spaces of my skull. It stings like nettles at the tips of my fingers. The power is a fever I have felt since early childhood, a heat in the blood that leaves me flushed and unsteady, dreaming in daylight. My aunt once told me the power came from being born on the spring equinox under the martial sign of the Ram, with baleful Saturn rising. And truly my power is often strongest when Mars and Saturn clash in the heavens, as they did the day I was sent to serve the imprisoned Princess Elizabeth. Yet on that occasion I was unable to influence my own fate.
I felt the power that evening of the full moon in June though, sitting cross-legged in the ruins of the old palace at Woodstock. I stared across the candlelit circle at my aunt's narrow, slant-eyed face and hungered to be a witch, just like her.
Aunt Jane leaned forward, her fair hair wild and unbound about her shoulders. With her witch's dagger, a black-handled athame, she cut a jagged gash across a dead lamb's belly.
"By Hecate," she chanted under her breath, widening the gash with her fingers until the lamb's entrails began to spill bloodily onto the floor, "by our Lady of the Forest, strengthen our spell tonight. Let this dumb creature answer the question: Shall the Princess Elizabeth be Queen?"
Beside me, Elizabeth shuddered. The lamb had been dead three days and the smell from its innards was disgusting. Her pale, bejewelled hand gripped mine compulsively.
Though the princess was five years my senior, tonight I knew more than her, for this was her first attendance at a moon ritual. Elizabeth looked younger than her twenty years, even if the dark shadows under her eyes suggested otherwise. Yet she held herself very regally considering her recent stay in the grim Tower of London, accused of conspiring with the rebels against Queen Mary. Half-sister to the Queen, Elizabeth always looked as though she were holding court in one of her own great houses, when in truth she was little better than a prisoner in this ruined old palace in the middle of nowhere. Her gown of black velvet, no doubt splendid when new, looked worn and dowdy as she kneeled in the dust beside me. Yet the princess did draw the eye with the elegant length of her neck, and her hairfair, though with a strong reddish glintwhich peeped out from under her hood.
Her small dark eyes, hooded like a hawk's, were staring fixedly at my aunt through the smoke. Her mouth was also small, pinched at the corners, and her high forehead spoke of tremendous learning, though she knew little of the witch's craft her own mother had been accused of practising.
"Is the magick not working?" the princess demanded, her voice sharp with frustration.
"Hush, my lady, give it time." I looked back at my aunt, the fine hairs on my neck rising in horror. My head was spinning in the fragrant smoke from the candles, my mouth uncomfortably dry. Already I could see the blank stare of my aunt's eyes as the spell worked its magick on her. Soon Aunt Jane would fall into a trance and there would be no chance of questioning her after that. The princess squeezed my hand again and I spoke, catching her urgency. "What do you see in the lamb's innards, Aunt Jane?"
"I see a coronation," my aunt replied in her hoarse voice. Slowly, with delicate, bloodied fingers, she probed the slimy coiled intestines of the lamb. Its liver glistened in her hand and she bent over it, staring. "I see good fortune following bad, and a reward for long years of patience. I see the Lady Elizabeth walking through a great doorway with a crown on her head, and all the people on their knees."
"But what of my sister?" Elizabeth demanded. The exiled princess sat back on her heels, her face pale and tense, her usual caution abandoned. "Is the Queen going to die? When will my coronation come to pass?"
My aunt did not reply. She trembled, swaying where she sat, lost in the grip of prophecy.
"There is danger for all of us," she managed at last. Her voice grated in the silence. "No one is to be trusted. Beware a traveller who comes over water, over land."
Elizabeth and I both stared at her in horror, unable to move. Danger for us all? Then something tugged at the far edges of my hearing and I stiffened.
Turning my head, I caught the echo and scrape of booted footsteps downstairs in the old palace. Then the sound of a man whistling to keep away the spirits of the dead.
The Lady Elizabeth had heard him too. She looked round at me apprehensively, her eyes darker than ever. "It must be one of Bedingfield's guards, making his patrol. We must leave at once. I can't be seen here."
"Better to wait until he's gone, my lady."
"The fire!" My aunt suddenly gasped, terrifying me. "The fire it burns me!"
The vision in her head must have changed, for her thin face had contorted with horror. My aunt's watery blue eyes were no longer staring at the bloody coiled innards, but over my head. She lifted her shaking finger to point, as though someone was standing behind me in the shadows. I glanced back over my shoulder, unnerved. But the three of us were alone in the dusty room.
Then my aunt gave a sudden, high-pitched cry and fell backwards on the soiled floorboards. She began flailing about and shaking as violently as the village idiot in one of his fits.
I gawped at her like an idiot myself, momentarily lost for what should be done.
"Keep her quiet!" the Lady Elizabeth urged me, her eyes wide with panic. "The guard will hear us!"
Tripping on the hem of my gown, I scrabbled round to where my aunt still lay thrashing, spittle on her lips, her eyes almost white in the shadows.
"Hush, Aunt Jane, for pity's sake," I told her urgently, my heart thundering at the possibility that we might be discovered. I stroked the hair back from her face, hoping to comfort her, and leaned close to her ear. "One of the princess's guards is downstairs. He may hear you."
For a moment I despaired of silencing her. But some grain of sense must have filtered through, for Aunt Jane's wild tossing gradually slowed and then ceased altogether. Her body lapsed into a kind of restless unconsciousness in my arms.
Shivering now, I stared about the old palace chamber. If we were caught here tonight, with these unholy instruments strewn about, we would be accused of witchcraft. And rightly so, for we were far from innocent. Even the princess would face execution if discovered like this, as her poor mother had gone to the block when Elizabeth was but a small child. Being the Queen had not saved Anne Boleyn from an accusation of witchcraft, any more than being of royal blood would save her daughter now.
I looked at the Lady Elizabeth. She was still on her knees, frozen in shock.
"My lady," I said softly, "these candles must be put out and all traces of the circle rubbed away before we leave. Will you help me?"
Elizabeth nodded, though I could see she was badly frightened. She leaned forward and began frantically rubbing at the circle my aunt had drawn in the dust, her hands soon filthy.
Ignoring the foul stench, I dragged the bloodied lamb back to the sack and pushed it inside, along with its entrails. My aunt's soiled knife lay on the floorboards beside her. The cup of ceremonial wine we had shared was empty now but its dregs were still potent if anyone should think to taste them.
Downstairs, the whistling had stopped. I listened intently for a while, but could hear nothing.
"Meg?" my aunt moaned, stirring as she came back slowly to herself.
I looked down into that white, drawn face. What had caused Aunt Jane to lose control like that? I had never seen her so wild. Perhaps she was growing too old to control the spirits we had invoked. I rubbed her hands gently between my own to warm them, as though she were the child and I her guardian.
"Better now?" I asked my aunt softly. "Are you able to walk? We must get out of the palace."
"No," she groaned, pushing me away. "Not yet. The spell was not finished in proper fashion."
Struggling weakly to her knees, my aunt cast about for her instruments. Then she saw the circle erased and the candles extinguished.
"Why have the candles been put out?" she demanded. "Where is my sacred knife? Help me. We must appease the spirits."
"Aunt, there is no time to relight the candles. We must return to the lodge before they discover that the Lady Elizabeth is missing. If anyone should find us with these"and I indicated the remains of our magickal work"it will be we who burn. Don't forget the Lady Elizabeth is a prisoner under threat of death. If her sister the Queen should ever hear of this "
Aunt Jane seemed to grasp the truth in what I said, the crazed light slowly fading from her face.
"Yes, you are right," my aunt agreed reluctantly, and began to gather up her various tools instead. "But the spirits will not be happy."
I helped her tidy the last objects away, cleaning her ceremonial knife before wrapping it in its stained leather sheath.
Flashing me a weary smile, my aunt tucked the knife inside the bodice of her gown. "You are a good girl, Meg," she whispered. "If only my sister could have been more like you. But she had no time for the power once she met your father, only for marriage. And look where that brought her. To an early grave, never to see her daughter grow up so gifted and fair."
"I'm hardly fair, aunt."
She laughed then. "Fair to me, Meg. And you do have beauty of a sort"
I shushed her, holding up a hand. I shot a warning look at the Lady Elizabeth too, who had stood up now and was shaking the dust from her skirts. I had heard a faint sound from the other side of the thin wall. No whistling this time, but the quiet protesting creak of a floorboard.
My skin crept in warning. I felt certain that someone was outside the chamber, listening to our conversation. Yet when I crept to the door on tiptoe and looked out through a crack in the wood, there was nobody there. All I could see was the dark, empty corridor and the stairs down to the ruined great hall, lit with pale patches of moonlight.
Elizabeth came silently to my shoulder. "What is it?"
"I thought I heard " I shook my head. "Nothing. It was just my imagination. We must return to the lodge without being seen. My aunt will walk home across the fields. Are you ready, my lady?"
Elizabeth nodded, but looked petulant. "I wish we had not been interrupted tonight. I want to hear more of this vision of my coronation."
"Perhaps we should wait a few months before meeting again, my lady, just to be sure we are not being watched. Sir Henry Bedingfield will be suspicious if we are caught out of bed at the full moon."
"Bedingfield may be my gaoler," Elizabeth snapped, "but he's a round-faced fool and can prove nothing. Besides, why should I not seek knowledge through magick? To know the future is a mighty weapon for a princess." She gave me a sharp stare. "Your aunt will visit us again at the next full moon. I wish to hear more of her vision. Though we can meet in the forest behind Woodstock if you find the old palace too dangerous."
I curtseyed, recognizing the determined note in the Lady Elizabeth's voice. "Yes, my lady."
Cautiously, I opened the door a few inches and peered out, listening for any signs that we were not alone.
The ruined palace was an eerie place to walk at night, room after empty room draped in deep shadows. My aunt carried her instruments and the blood-stained sack containing the dead lamb. I knew she would have to bury it in the forest before making her way home. We descended the staircase, the only sounds the swish of our skirts against the crumbling walls and the faint cooing of a wood pigeon in the rafters above us.
I thought of what my aunt had said about my mother. Catherine Canley had been a beautiful lady of the court, my aunt had always told me, who had given up her power as a witch to marry my father and bury herself alive in this remote corner of Oxfordshire. My unmarried aunt had come to live with her and my father as a companion, and had stayed on after her death to care for me. I could not remember much about my mother, for Catherine Canley had died of pneumonia when I was only five years old. Whenever I thought of her, I had a vision of laughing blue eyes and a rustle of silk as a woman bent to pick me up. But I could not even be sure that was a true memory of her.
There were no portraits of my mother in our house, or none that I had seen. It hurt me to think I could not even remember her face. However, I have never been a girl to cry, but rather to nurse hurts deep inside in silence. Besides, I had my dear Aunt Jane to love and hold, and thought of her as my mother instead, the woman who had cared for me and secretly taught me her craft once I was old enough to cast a spell.
I parted with my aunt at the side entrance, kissing her fondly, and we met no more guards on our way back to our dilapidated rooms in the old palace lodge. The lodge was where the princess had been installed on her arrival at Woodstock, for the palace itself was deemed too ramshackle to be inhabited, with part of the roof missing in places and the whole building unsafe. The lodge itself was little better though, a damp heap of stones barely warmed by the fireplaces which smoked incessantly, bats living in the eaves, the rooms dark and cramped with most of the narrow windows open to the wind and rain. Though at least the weather had been good to us this past month. The summer night was still and warm now, a fleeting hint of lavender on the air from the kitchen courtyard.
At the back door to the lodge, I caught Elizabeth glancing back at the ruined palace, her face pale and wide-eyed. Yet despite her fear, there was always a calmness about Elizabeth, as though she stood constantly at the centre of a storm.
I was a little scared myself, truth be told. But I was accustomed to fear. Ever since I had first discovered my power, I had wanted to be a witchjust as other girls my age wanted to be wives and mothersand not even the threat of death could deter me from that path, now that I was finally beginning to test the extent of my powers.
When I was seven years old, out on a walk with my older brother, our nurse had given us a scolding for hiding among the bushes. Suddenly, a rook had swooped down, screaming and flapping great black wings, and begun to peck at her eyes. We all ran back to the house, pursued by the furious bird, and no one was hurt. But my nurse avoided scolding me after that, even crossing herself whenever I looked at her sideways.
That was when I first knew that I was different from other girls, and over the years I grew determined to discover just how much power I possessed. I could never forget that the punishment for witchcraft was the most painful of deaths. Yet it seemed like death to me to own a gift and never use it out of fear.

Meridian, Miss. Anderson Regional Medical Center Tuesday saluted the role volunteers play in patient care.
The hospital hosts a luncheon for this purpose during National Volunteer Appreciation Week.
Forty-seven volunteers are currently active,ranging from one month of service to 33 years.
Anderson volunteers last year contributed 6200 hours.
"They are just wonderful people," said volunteer coordinator Tiffney Spence. "They help us. They are just wonderful and nourishing to our patients and to our patients' loved one."
"My grandmother told me, what you have, you're supposed to give back in relation to what you have," said Dorothy Hogan, a volunteer since 1996. "So all my life I've tried to do that. But I've really gotten more out of it."
Hogan says the volunteers go 'all out' because the hospital goes 'all out' for them.

10 Family Picks From The NYIGF
New York International Gift Fair 2013
Lions and bears and tigers, oh my! Oh my, were they in abundance this year at the New York International Gift Show! While there was certainly no shortage of delightful gifts for tots and kids of all ages, quite a few items managed to stand out at this year's show. Looking for a gift for an expecting friend or your own child? Take a gander at some of my favorite family finds from NYIGF 2013 below.
Mary Blair Art Baby Bag
Family Find
Mary Blair Art Baby Bag
• $148
• Le Sport Sac
I wrote about Mary Blair's art in nurseries a few weeks ago and then spied her work on a new line of bags from Le Sport Sac, including this diaper bag. It features imagery from Disney's iconic It's A Small World.
Jonathan Adler Diaper Bags for Skip Hop
You might not expect a potter to design diaper bags. But of course, we all know Jonathan Adler is no average potter. In addition to all his other design ventures, Adler has teamed up with Skip Hop to bring his signature patterns to a line of diaper bags.
New Baby On-the-Go Kit
Nicole Mallalieu for Whip Up
I never really was the master of my diaper bag. With one hand I'd reach in, dig around, and fling various packets and tubes out all over the place while simultaneously holding a baby down with the other hand. If I'd had something like this baby-on-the-go kit, diaper changes would've been a lot more organized and a lot less slapstick.
A Look Inside Cloth Diapers
When it was suggested that I tackle the topic of cloth diapers I was hesitant, to say the least. In doing research into the issue before my daughter was born, my wife and I suddenly became aware of an emotionally charged debate being waged on hundreds of message boards and blogs. Lines were being drawn and sides were being chosen and the whole issue was quite overwhelming. It still is, and if you go looking for an argument you can find one pretty easily. But not here (hopefully). Without wading into the cloth versus disposable fracas, I thought I'd offer a personal account of how our cloth diaper experience is going, almost five months in. If you are thinking of cloth diapering or wondering if it is right for you, hopefully you can take something away from this look inside cloth diapers. Not literally, of course. That would be gross.
Cushie Traveler Folding Padded Potty Seat
Among the many considerations when traveling with toddlers, going potty is kind of a big deal. This folding seat seems like a great solution for families on the road.
Diaper Bags for Dads
Wool for Newborns
Wool is such a wonderful material for a number of reasons. That's why I sought it out in a few newborn essentials for my son. Here are a few wool products for newborns that I've found are so worth it:
IKEA LÄTTSAM Potty
It's a perennial question here at Ohdeedoh: which potty is best? There are plenty of great designs on the market, but they generally don't come cheap. At home we have a Baby Bjorn potty, but I don't love the thought of toting around a potty training ring every time we hit the road (especially when I'm already hauling a toddler and twin babies). So where does that leave us for trips to grandma's house?
New: Bento Diaper Bag From Skip Hop
For those following along at home, in the past I have admitted to having a small crush on a Skip Hop bag in the past. It's held everything from diapers and pacifiers to camera gear and church books (did I mention it's still around?) and I love it dearly. I didn't think it could get any better until recently when we spied this new Bento Bag. Well color me corrected as this bag is all that and a bag of chips (assuming you remember to pack them that is!). Did we mention it's even cool for dudes to carry?

Hey guys, just sitting around home today on break, and decided to string up some heads I had laying around. I haven't really strung too many heads since the beginning of summer so still getting back into the swing of things. But anyways here's a clutch x I got a couple months ago.

By Joyce E.A. Russell
Have you ever worked someplace where one day you just didn't want to go into the office? You just didn't feel the "fun" in it anymore? Some folks will tell you this is much more commonplace than you might think. Others will say, "Who cares, since when is work supposed to be fun?" But given that we spend so much time at work, shouldn't we at least find some

Board of Trustees
Since its founding in 1893, American University has benefited greatly from the devotion, service, intellectual contributions, ethical behavior, and philanthropy of many thousands of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends. In a very real sense, they also are "trustees" of the institutions by virtue of their dedication, affection, and generosity that help to ensure that the University will faithfully serve this and future generations. Those of us who have been chosen to serve as fiduciary trustees for a period of time—to safeguard the University's assets and to foster its capacity to serve others—enthusiastically and without reservation accept the following additional responsibilities as evidence of the commitment of each trustee.

What are we looking for?
Stocks that have lost profit momentum - and the favour of analysts.
More about today's screen
We'll turn to StarMine again for help on today's screen. StarMine is a Thomson Reuters service that ranks analysts and provides lots of data about earnings estimates.
We'll use the StarMine Indicator, which ranks stocks from 1 to 100 based on three criteria: First, StarMine finds the analysts that have predicted earnings surprises in the past and then sees whether they are projecting more. Second, it looks for recent increases to earnings estimates by analysts for the current quarter and year. Finally, it seeks positive changes in analyst recommendations.
On Wednesday we looked for stocks ranked highly with the indicator. Today let's screen for ones at the bottom of the list (10 or less).
Again, we'll limit the screen to Canadian-listed companies with market caps greater than $250-million and coverage by at least three analysts.
What did we find out?
One column to scrutinize is "Smart Estimate EPS this quarter," which can be compared with the "mean EPS estimate this quarter." The Smart Estimate highlights analysts that have been right about earnings surprises in the past and shows how their current estimate for the quarter is different from the median or consensus number (a lower figure predicts a negative surprise).
Brookfield Renewable Power Fund stands out for its sharp decreases to earnings estimates in the past two months and a Smart Estimate that is much lower than the median or consensus estimate for the next quarter.
More investigation is always good for any stock screen, and this one suggests that perhaps next year could be better for Brookfield Renewable.
Scotia Capital analyst Tony Courtright recently cut his earnings estimates after the hydro generation trust said third-quarter weak water flows in Ontario and Quebec meant that hydro generation was about one-third below long-term averages. The trust also announced plans to convert into a corporation.
Mr. Courtright is now concerned that cash flows at the trust will fall short in coming years and that the fund may have to "raise capital to fund the equity portion of the Comber [wind]project, should [parent Brookfield Renewable Power Inc.]vend it to [the fund]"
Although analysts have cut their estimates for Brookfield Renewable sharply for this year, their estimates for 2011 have come down only slightly as they assume water levels will rebound next year. For instance, Mr. Courtright hasn't changed his recommendation of "sector perform" or his target of $21.Report Typo/Error

As I was hammering (for me) down a steep, narrow, twisty descent yesterday, I passed a woman in a mini-van at an intersecting road. We made eye contact and smiled and I kept on keeping on. As I conitinued down the road, I waited for the inevitable whine of an engine, which, as we all know, signals a driver just itching to pass. But it never came.
When I was able to look back over my shoulder, I saw that the driver was several hundred yards behind. It was clear she had decided not to be in a hurry, not to compete with a cyclist for a small piece of potentially dangerous road.
As I approached the bottom of the hill, I knew we'd both be confronting a similar narrow, steep, twisty climb. I swung into the parking lot of an abandoned general store.I figured now it was my turn to wait a bit and not compete--at 6 mph--with a driver for a small piece of potentially dangerous road on the uphill side.
As she went by, we both waved. It was no big deal, It was just a small interaction of good will by two strangers, but it felt good.

Washington's Chris Williams was tied for the individual lead and the Huskies men's golf team was in second place overall in Tuesday's second round of The Prestige at PGA West tournament in La Quinta, Calif.
Monday's first round was suspended by darkness and was completed Tuesday morning. Not all players completed the second round Tuesday. The final round is Wednesday.
Williams was 3-under par in the second round — with a double bogey on hole No. 2 but then six birdies the rest of the way. The Huskies trailed UCLA in the team standings but the Bruins still had a third of their second round to complete Wednesday morning.
Trevor Simsby, with a 2-under par round Tuesday, and Cheng-Tsung Pan of UW were tied for ninth.

Egyptian Military Reports EgyptAir Flight 804 Wreckage Found
Impacting Travel
Destination & Tourism | International Air Transport Association (IATA) | September 13, 2012
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) established its first office in Central Asia and the Caucasus. Attached to the IATA European regional office in Madrid, an IATA presence has been established in Astana. The development of air connectivity has been a key contributor to Kazakhstan's recent economic success, and air travel in Kazakhstan grew by 22 percent in 2011.
IATA's Director General and CEO Tony Tyler called on the governments of Kazakhstan, Central Asia and the Caucasus to utilize air transport as a catalyst for economic growth and development. "Kazakhstan sits at the crossroads of East and West. And with double-digit growth in air traffic demand across the whole of Central Asia and the Caucasus it is an emerging success story -- a Silk Road in the Sky," Tyler said. "But turning the long-term potential of the region into reality requires urgent attention to safety and the provision of cost-efficient airport infrastructure." Tyler made his remarks in a keynote address to the Central Asia and Caucasus Aviation Day being held in Astana, Kazakhstan.

EPA photo
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released a report on Friday, Jan. 25, that had some good news about how pollution is affecting children's health.
Among the findings: the median concentration of lead in the blood of kids between the ages of 1 and 5 years was 92 percent lower in 2009-2010 than in 1976-1980. This drop followed regulations the took lead out of gasoline, paint and other products.
The nation's children also have less exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke. In 2010, 6 percent of children younger than 6 years lived in homes where someone smoked regularly, compared with 27 percent in 1994.
On the downside, the percentage of children diagnosed with asthma increased from 8.7 percent in 2001 to 9.4 percent in 2010. In addition, minority populations are particularly affected by the condition.
But the severity of children's asthma and respiratory symptoms has declined, the report found. The rate of emergency room visits for asthma decreased from 114 visits per 10,000 children in 1996 to 103 visits per 10,000 children in 2008.
Various studies have found that air pollution, including fine particles and ozone, can trigger symptoms in children who already have asthma. And the Inland area has chronically failed to meet federal health standards for both ozone and fine particles.
Our region still has among the worst air quality in the nation.

Is the 2013 Nexus 7 An iPad Killer?
Google's Android and Apple's iOS have been waging war, but this year the battle seems to be as close as it ever was before. On July 24th, Google released the much anticipated Jelly Bean update (4.3) and also announced a much hyped, newer version of the Nexus 7 tablet, which left many Android fans foaming at the mouth and iOS fans arguing that the new iteration of the iPad will come with a jetpack and an X-Ray camera and blow all the other competition to hell.
Officially, the tablet comes out on July 30th, but that hasn't stopped the legions of fans from preordering the much anticipated tablet; even though the wait is only 120 hours, unlike such entertainment options as movies or videogames, where fans would have to wait until the following summer or holiday season to get their chance to enjoy something they've been waiting on for a long time. But with all of this anticipation, there's another question that comes into play; will the 2013 Nexus 7 become the iPad killer?
I mean, it already set the Internet on fire, so what has made all of this possible? Let's get to the nuts and bolts of this thing. What kind of new features does this new tablet have in store for the consumer?
First off, we have the aforementioned inclusion of Android Jelly Bean, which allows for restricting app continent to a user level (you know, for those kiddos and those snooping around), 1080p video streaming support (did anyone say better Netflix on the go?) and Open GL3 Engine support for you Android gamers which means better graphics, detailed lighting and better character shadows to push a better gaming experience.
In addition to Jelly Bean, the tablet also has a larger screen (which seems to be the trend going on in the tablet universe), a 1920 x 1200 ppi resolution screen to be exact. Also included is a quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, a five megapixel rear camera, stereo speakers with Fraunhofer virtual surround sound and, of course, the options of getting that good old fast, everywhere internet from providers like Sprint, AT&T and Verizon.
The device is thinner and lighter but comes with a battery that "promises" nine hours of HD video and up to 10 hours of web browsing but, sadly, no SD card support (which is maybe the only criticism the media has for the seven inch tablet at this point).
Here's the real curve ball; the price. For the 16 Gigabyte Wi-Fi only version, one would only have to pay the fair price of $229 USD, which is about 100 bucks cheaper than its Apple counterpart, the iPad mini. At that price, this just might be the one that takes the cake.
Will the Android nation stand up and buy these like hot cakes making it stand toe to toe with Apple's giant or will it at least give the Kindle family of products a run for their money? Did you already get the chance to see the new Nexus 7? Check the announcement video in its entirety below.

An unfocused docu on the subject that aging is not a built-in inevitability.
His curiosity piqued by New York Times articles, filmmaker Robert Kane Pappas set out to investigate scientific breakthroughs that prove conclusively (in yeast and mice, at least) that aging is not a built-in inevitability, but a process that can be genetically manipulated to postpone disease and significantly prolong life. "To Age or Not to Age" supplies neither an objective context (there's not a hint of dissent) nor a personal p.o.v. on such a hypothetical notion; the reactions of biologists, though, vacillating between utopian elation and trepidations about Big Pharma, are a show in themselves. Unfocused docu bows July 16 in Gotham.Pic presents an impressive but suspiciously unanimous array of evolutionary biologists who discuss the astounding, accidental discovery (compared in one instance to the discovery of DNA) of the gene that affects aging. At the same time came the discovery that the antimicrobial substance resveratrol, which can be synthesized (and thus patented), perfectly mimics the properties of that gene. Already successful in extending the longevity of lower life forms, the biologists theorize about how long it might take for human application to be approved, given the various social forces for or against it. The only alternative voice, this one even more radically supportive, is supplied by a tall, ascetic, long-bearded scientist who admits his projection of man soon being capable of living for a thousand years is, very probably, conservative. Unlike other subjects of Pappas' self-described "serial expertise" in past documentaries, on topics such as love ("Some Fish Can Fly") or mass media ("Orwell Rolls in His Grave"), molecular biology invites little input from laymen, relegating the helmer to the uncharacteristic role of awestruck hunter-gatherer of information. His commentary varies wildly in tone and relevance: On the plus side, there's a nifty Shavian quote from "Back to Methuselah"; on the minus side, there's a thuddingly repetitive visual conceit involving the proverbial "elephant in the room," complete with a recurring image of a red pachyderm. Pappas' scattershot musings on the social, political and metaphysical implications of extended healthy seniority come off as positively crystalline compared with the random natterings of the director's friends and neighbors, who are invited to chime in.

After a month-long of continous traveling, on the last few hours remaining, strange searing steady pain in my abdomen started. It accompanied chilling and a slight fever. I first thought its because of the food or water, but the symptoms seemed changing in a different direction.
Alarmed with the unusual circumstances, I went to the emergency department of a hospital. This is my second time to go in the emergency, first is my ear-intimate experience with a garden ant.
Its a learning experience how the doctors were eliminating the probabilities. Being a science practitioner, understanding what they were doing was a relief and the assurance that I wont be haphazardly subjected under the knife unnecessarily. Though I still fear the possibility of being opened, I tried focusing on getting well and let the experts do their job knowing the best will come out.
Meditations and prayers from real friends and family won. The inflammation is only some decimal fraction below the operable limit and my body and spirit are fighting the infection amazingly so well. After a few days, the doctors and nurses had to say goodbye and the friendly smiles and good wishes they send my way are treasures that will help in my recovery.
As I am writing this, I could only feel gratefulness for all the care of the hospital health practitioners and doctors, my mother, nephew, sister and some friends personal care and company, and my sisters and friends and others (church members) and the universe prayers of good wishes and fast healing and recovery. For me its another miracle of life and I am very thankful
Miracle of life!
After a month-long of continous traveling, on the last few hours remaining, strange searing steady pain in my abdomen started. It accompanied chilling and a slight fever. I first thought its because of the food or water, but the symptoms seemed changing in a different direction.

Rabbitfishes (danggit) for sustainable plate series
Danggit or rabbit fishes in the Philippines are one of the fave breakfast main courses cutting across all classes of the society, from the really rich folks to the marginal ones. It is served in the most expensive hotels and resorts and also in the carinderias and turo-turo food outlets.
Rabbitfishes just like other fishes are high in protein (21 grams/100g raw), less fat (0.3g/100g raw), less calorie (98/100g raw). A preferred source of protein and calories from meat.
Unfortunately for the Philippines, most of the danggit sold in the market are juvenile individuals, very high salt content (as mostly dried) and post harvest preparation are not within accepted clean fish preparation standards. Most of the dried species served for breakfast are mixed of Siganus fuscescens, S. canaliculatus, S. guttatus and a few individuals from other species. Length at maturity of these species are 5.6cm for S. fuscescens, 22.6cm for male and 23.9cm for female S. canaliculatus, and
Most of the individuals served for breakfast are less than the indicated sizes of maturities. The length at maturity indicates that at that size, 50% of the population are mature and have the capacity to spawn at least once before they are caught and cook. Not catching these fishes before they reach the length of maturity is important for the sustainability of these very valuable resources. The danggits are mostly salted and dried, with the salt content a thousand higher than the salt needed by a healthy person. Post harvest handling and preparation is way below the standard, washed and dried in unhygienic environment.
Personally, being a field person, I avoided buying and eating dried danggit. I know I was missing so much but thanks for responsible and sustainable mariculture by isdafarms, I could now eat dried and marinated danggit/samaral without burdening my conscience and worrying about my health. Isda farms are culturing samaral/danggit in the waters off Rosario, La Union using the technology of submerged rope framed cages (a more natural method for a happier, healthier fishes). The fishes are supplemented with their natural foods. The company though very small is helping in the creation of livelihood in the small community. Recently, I bought a kilo of their dried danggit/samaral and half-dried (lamaya) marinated in the local Iloco vinegar and garlic. Its a fantastic gastro experience. Finally I will not be missing the joyous experience of eating one of the great Filipino breakfast dish. But so far, I will limit my experience to something trusted, the isda farms samaral/danggit products.
Through my mind's eye
4. I was never impressed by titles like Attorney, Ph D., etc.; I have met smarter and more intelligent people from the ranks of ordinary fishers, farmers and street vendors. Title and education is never a measure of intelligence.
3. I am wary of people who brags they live strictly with integrity.
2. I believe that people who opted to be single should not be discriminated. Equity.
1. When I don't believe in something or when I am not impress, do not expect me to talk at all.

Philippine blue swimming crab at risk
FishFood Security: why is it an omnipresent dilemma?
Food security has been the mission, vision, goal, objective of most entities, from an individual person to small group of advocates to local national international global universal and planetary organizations from time immemorial up to the present and for sure until the future.
Is it just a goal, vision, mission, objective? Its actually a problem that needs solving.
Its an omnipresent problem burdening the highly sentient beings in a planetary scale.
Is it really that hard? Great innovations, high falutin complex equations, well-dressed and glib politicians are still groping for the answers. Why? Because most of the solutions are too complex that the simple basic foundations are missed.
As simple example. In one small bay, the fishes caught are getting smaller, rarer and worst polluted with heavy metals and carcinogenic compounds. Great famous high esteemed scientists, money-laden organizations are pouring in. Solutions given: ban and prosecute the commercial fishers, give guns and patrol boats to drive away the blasters, poachers, illegal fishers, put up market sheds in the community, stock enhancement and other high-falutin solutions. Still the problem remains. In my solitudes, this simpleton mind keeps bugging me, why complicate things when the problem is simple. Look and count the number of good municipal fisherfolks operating in the bay, too many of them really. Look at the household and personal waste thrown in the bay, even the pigs refuse to swim on them. I look down and my knees drop to the last remaining patch of soil (lucky not to have covered with concrete yet), burdened with the thought that no one might see it.

The burden of knowledge
In these jungles of concretes
I walk purposely
Unmindful of the loud cars, big advertising screens and classy worldly wares of this age.
I walk and gaze at the faces I meet
Are they as disturb as I my spirit?
I look at their body forms, gait and aura
Are they carrying heavy loads just like me?
Weighing heavily on my shoulders
Dried baby Trichiurus species (100g)
Bought from a trade show I love to visit
And the memories of the happy marketer's faces
Running in my head, clouding my face
Scenario of the future
With a sad face, I told the lady seller
I hope these fishes are not targeted this small
Caught in a Frenzy of Spawning
In all of the places I visited and will visit, the traditional markets are one of my fave places. It always a place of wonderful discoveries and sources of fabulous collections.
Just recently, having nothing to do, I hitched ride with a friend on his way to the province and asked to be dropped in one of the major fish landing centers of the country. Using my old reliable tablet as camera, I went around in search of a good dig. And WHOA this is what I found, bunches of same sizes Panuping (Lethrinus lentjan). Suspecting it was caught from a spawning aggregation, I bought some few kilos, have them iced and proceed to the bus station through a tricycle and rode the first bus out.
Arriving, though tired, I immediately proceeded into disecting my loot fishes. And YES ALL OF THEM ARE GRAVID AND READY TO SPAWN, my suspect that they were caught in the frenzy of their spawning aggregration is validated. I hope I could further validate them by diving in the area but alas, I was not able to extract the exact site where the fishes are caught. Getting such information needs time and entails gaining the trust of the fishers. I hope the Universe will soon guide me again in the place.
Having witnessed once a spawning aggregation of groupers is addicting. I would like to see such wonderful, joyous event once more.

Mindful living in fisheries
Its midnight. I'm tired but my mind seemed not to want to rest. Thoughts keep on darting in and out.
One thought is particularly lingering, the thoughts by a good person I just talked with. Am I not tired advocating for realistic policies in the field of fisheries resources sustainability and environmental protection? Yes I had my moments of darkness and will have them again, when all hopes and sanity seemed out of place, when being alone and ridiculed is the norm. Yet I could not stay there, living means hope, hope means faith, faith means intelligence and intelligence create action.
Mindfulness, pushing to stay at the moment despite the heavy cloud of lethargy, is the secret. Most of the time I forget but the flittering moments of awareness are always my friends.

Fisheries Policies and Laws Need Paradigm Shift
The Philippines was once a major contributor to the world total fisheries production. Since about 2 decades ago, the annual landings have consistently been decreasing. Ironically, Paper Policy-wise, the Philippines almost look good and competent in managing its natural resources. The commonly given reason for the stark inconsistency is, policies and laws are not strictly enforced or enforcement is weak.
Yet, I have some reservations with the word 'enforcement' anyway. Is that not where the weakness is coming from? We are supposed to be at the age of information, and knowledge is empowering. Yet our mindset is still on the use of force. We need a radical paradigm shift, from creating our policies to be enforced into creating policies that encourages compliance. With the opening of market opportunities, knowledge and abundant information, incentives is the name of the game. Policies that were strategically created on the framework that following it will benefit more the resource users at a certain time in a language they understand is much better than laws and regulations that are imposed through the barrels of guns and chasing boats.

Its Midnight
Having no deadline to work on, no skype calls to wait for and no radio program to look forward listening to, I went offline from the world wide web, picked up a great book, laid my back on the bed and read. I am aslept in a matter of minutes.
I am now fully awake and its midnight. As usual, my mind is in its most active moment at these hours. I dreamed of a dead palace underwater. Most of its very diverse big inhabitants are gone aside from bacteria, fungi, and maybe viruses around. The place is just a mess of plastics in various forms, kinds and shapes. Nets of different mesh sizes and forms are also prominent. Taking a close look at the net I am stepping on, its definitely one of the gillnet types. It must have been newly washed into the deep from ashore as it has different epiphytes from the definitely settled ones. I stayed longer hoping to see at least one bigger organism to dart by, but my stillness is met by deep silence. Its scary for somebody like me who used to love the beauty and diversity of the underwater world.
While writing this, the feeling of emptiness still pervades. Its a very lonely ugly world in there. Is that the future of the underwater world humanity will soon create? Its midnight.

According to a draft press release viewed by The VAR Guy, Canonical will announce...
"a dedicated support program for Lotus Symphony, the no-charge office productivity alternative which is a core component of IBM Client for Smart Work (ICSW) on Ubuntu. This support is made available to customers by Canonical through the IBM and Canonical partner network. Organisations can now switch to an alternative platform from Microsoft for their business productivity needs with full confidence that the core solution is fully supported."
Any Channel Partners?Hmmm... Sounds intriguing. But how many VARs and end-customers are really willing to dump Windows for Linux? Before you answer, consider the situation at ZSL, one of the first Canonical and IBM partners to embrace Ubuntu and the IBM Client for Smart Work. According to a prepared statement from Shiv Kumar, executive VP of sales at ZSL:
"The economic case for Ubuntu and the IBM Client for Smart Work is unarguable. The addition of support from Canonical at super-competitive pricing means companies have the reassurance of world class support through the entire stack. We are really excited about bringing this option to our new and existing clients and providing them with cost savings and productivity improvements at a stroke."IBM has previously stated Smart Work can save customers up to 50 percent per seat on software costs vs. traditional Microsoft-based desktops. Canonical says the solution includes Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition and Lotus Symphony, which includes word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations, fully supported by Canonical at $5.50 per user, per month based on 1000 seat deployment.
Also of note: The solution has an optional desktop virtualization and recovery approach from Virtual Bridges, which has been working closely with IBM and Canonical to develop the Ubuntu virualized desktop market in recent months.
Bob Sutor, VP of Linux and open source at IBM, also lent his name to the press release -- a good sign for Canonical's fledgling enterprise and channel relations.
Reality CheckOf course, it's important for The VAR Guy to keep these Canonical moves in perspective. The company's channel remains a work in progress, and the next three months will rank among the most critical in Canonical's history -- due to the forthcoming Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) release in April 2010 and the ongoing CEO transition, which should be completed by March 2010.
Meanwhile, Canonical faces still competition on multiple fronts. The buzz around Windows 7 remains generally strong. Plus, entrenched Linux rivals such as Red Hat and Novell seem to be gaining momentum in new areas. Red Hat is busy beta testing a hosted desktop virtualization solution and Novell has been gaining momentum with an appliance approach to SUSE Linux.

Baltimore County News
Daisha Smith, BCPL Marketing Assistant
The Baltimore County Public Library's annual Summer Reading Club (SRC) for all ages, is a great initiative that offers students a chance to earn exciting prizes all while improving their reading skills. It is designed to prevent achievement loss and encourage early literacy.
Each year, more than 50,000 Baltimore County children participate. Studies show that kids who do not read over the summer fall behind in school. Studies also show that children who participate improve their reading skills by a third of a grade, show more of a desire for school and are empowered to face their challenges.
The Summer Reading Club offers individual activities set to match the needs for all ages. This year's theme is Every Hero Has a Story! This theme motivates readers to be as confident as a superhero and take on everyday challenges.
SRC features the Read-to-Me Club, for newborns to 5-year-olds; the Elementary Reading Club for students in kindergarten through the Fifth Grade; Middle School Reading Club for students in the sixth grade through the eighth grade; and the High School and Adult Reading Club for high school students and up.
Registration is quick and simple. First, visit the SRC BCPL website (http://www.bcpl.info/summerreading) and select the "Sign Me Up Button." Next, visit your respective branch to receive a game board to start reading.
Once you've registered, the Summer Reading Club asks students to read for one hour or read one book until they've reached four books or four hours of reading time. Once completed, visit your local branch for a sticker. Once you have read sixteen books or read for a grand total of sixteen hours, visit your branch to pick up your prize!
So what are you waiting for? Visit your local BCPL branch today and start reading!
Baltimore County Public Library's Collection Development Staff Members
Baltimore County Public Library has recommendations for your summer vacation reads, no matter what your taste!
First are two novels set in traditional summer settings, the Jersey Shore and Summer camp:
"All the Summer Girls" by Meg Donohue
Travel to the Jersey Shore as three childhood friends who were supposed to be meeting in Vegas for a bachelorette weekend regroup when the bride-to-be is dumped by her fiancé. Instead, the three young women head to the familiar comfort of Avalon and its stretches of glorious beaches. The happy memories shared by Kate, Dani and Vanessa are overshadowed by the specter of Kate's twin brother's tragic drowning eight years earlier. What the three don't know is that each harbors secrets that could impact the others' lives, and each is at a crossroads in her life.
"Interestings" by Meg Wolitzer
This book follows a group of teenaged friends (who call themselves "Interestings") from their 1974 meeting at an arty summer camp through to middle age. The novel skips back and forth over time, revealing more about the friends' triumphs and tragedies over the years. Of course, there are secrets kept and long-harbored resentments over the years as their lives diverge and reconnect. "Interestings" is an ambitious, sprawling and insightful novel.
Like the summer destination, the amusement park, summer is a great time for thrills and chills. Below are some suggested books that range from thrilling to downright scary:
"Out of Range" by Hank Steinberg
Charlie Davis is a political reporter for the Los Angeles Times, but becomes an investigator in search of his wife, Julie, when she goes missing. This action-packed thriller by the creator of the television show "Without a Trace" leads Charlie and readers to Uzbekistan, the country where Charlie and Julie fell in love. As he frantically pursues his missing wife, he becomes embroiled in international intrigue and also finds disturbing clues pointing to his wife's possible infidelity and secret life.
"Crime of Privilege" by Walter Walker
Twelve years earlier, when he was in college, George Becket sees his preppy friends rape a young woman at a Palm Beach party. Now an Assistant D.A., he risks everything investigating his powerful and connected friends in the unsolved murder of a girl in Cape Cod. Crime of Privilege is a page-turning, twisty adventure into the world of the rich and powerful.
"The Execution of Noa P. Singleton" by Elizabeth L. Silver
Six months before her execution date, death row inmate Noa is approached by attorney Marlene Dixon, who offers to petition the state for clemency on Noa's behalf. Marlene is the mother of Noa's victim, and she wants to know why Noa killed her daughter. This gripping debut novel will appeal to fans of legal thrillers, and the complexity of the characters and moral issues at stake also make it a perfect pick for book clubs.
"The Shining Girls" by Lauren Beukes
A time-travelling serial killer and the only survivor of his attacks are on a collision course toward each other in this grisly, pulse-pounding thriller.
There are no Olympics this summer, so let's go back to one of the most famous Olympic events of all time:
"The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Olympics" by Daniel Brown
The 1936 Berlin Olympics are most memorable, due in large part to the tense international climate and the performance of Jesse Owens. However, another remarkable story from the same Games involved the rowing team from the University of Washington, who defeated elite rivals on Hitler's big stage. These sons of farmers and loggers were able to first defeat the cream of the crop from Britain's finest universities before triumphing over the team from Germany. Readers will enjoy this irresistible and inspirational story about the little guys beating the odds in dramatic fashion on the world stage.
Romance is great for summer reading for adults and teens:
"Just One Kiss" by Susan Mallery
When Justice Garrett moves back to Fool's Gold, California, he gets a second chance at love with his childhood friend, Patience McGraw. This is the first of three new entries in Mallery's popular Fool's Gold series.
"The Moon and More" by Sarah Dessen
Emaline is in that awkward summer between the end of high school and beginning of college, waiting for the next stage of her life to begin, when young indie-filmmaker Theo arrives in her small North Carolina beach town. Reconsidering the options for her future, Emaline comes to a surprising decision.
Finally, a road trip is perfect for an engaging listen:
"Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls" by David Sedaris
NPR commentator and humorist Sedaris is back with a collection of essays steeped in his trademark dark humor and insights into our human condition. His slightly nerdy tone has always made these essays great on the page but even better as a listen.
by Jamie Watson
Collection Development Coordinator
Baltimore County Public Library
A trip down the ocean is part of every Baltimore County resident's summer routine, but what's the point of going to the beach without a good book to read? Before you make your way to the beach this summer, swing by your local branch of the Baltimore County Public Library and get some great beachside entertainment, free of charge.
The newest Jack Reacher novel comes out in September, and the first Jack Reacher movie, starring the ubiquitous-this-summer Tom Cruise, will be out in December. If you've not read this thriller series, about a former military policeman, Killing Floor is his first, although you can jump into this series anywhere. Baltimore County Public Library has volumes of the series in print, large type, book on cd, Playaway, downloadable audiobook, e-book, and even one volume in Russian!
Another hot genre for summer escapes is paranormal romance. Melissa de la Cruz began her series, The Witches of East End, last summer. Set in the Hamptons, it features two sisters and a mother who have been alive for hundreds of years, but are currently forbidden from practicing their magic – until now. The first volume ended on a cliffhanger, but never fear, Serpent's Kiss, the follow-up, came out this summer.
Fiction written for teens remains hot, especially on the heels of The Hunger Games, but don't write it off as "kids books." Many of the hottest teen books can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. John Green's The Fault in our Stars tells the story of two teenagers, Hazel and Gus, who are suffering from terminal cancer. All the tropes of a teen novel are here – growing up, life's purpose, the opposite sex, friendship, your family, but at an accelerated speed – because unlike most teenagers, Hazel and Gus don't think they're going to live forever. This is one to read in an air-conditioned room, not the beach or pool, unless you're ready to shed a few tears in public.
Finally, it's almost Olympics time! It's also the 20th anniversary of the Dream Team – the US Olympic basketball team made up of Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley and more. Sports journalist Jack McCollum was "embedded" with the team from their inception to their Gold Medal, and he has lots of tales to tell!
None of these strike your fancy? Come check out Baltimore County Public Library's newest blog, Between the Covers. Recent posts on cozy mysteries, small-town romance, and even books for kids will have suggestions to keep the whole family busy for the rest of the summer!
