Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
A typical pregnancy lasts, on average, 280 days, or 40 weeks - starting with the first day of the last normal menstrual period (LMP) as day 1. An estimated due date (EDD) can be calculated by following steps 1 through 3:
For example: Your last menstrual period began on September 9, 2008. Counting back three calendar months would be June 9, 2008. Adding one year and seven days would bring you to June 16, 2009, as your estimated due date (EDD).
This three-step method is referred to as Naegele's Rule and is based on a normal 28-day menstrual cycle. Therefore, dates may have to be adjusted for longer or shorter menstrual cycles. However, even with adjustments made, less than 10 percent of women actually give birth on their calculated due dates. Delivery two weeks before or after the estimated due date is still considered normal.
You may also estimate your delivery date by using the steps 1 and 2 and the chart:

In October 1954, Hurricane Hazel flooded the basement of our new home in suburban Philadelphia with four feet of water. While my parents tried to cope with the damage, my sister and I attached string to long sticks, sat on the basement steps, and "went fishing." All we caught were amused glances from our frazzled parents. We were too young to comprehend the devastation Hazel caused as winds of up to 150 mph ravaged the Caribbean, making landfall in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina before ripping through the mid-Atlantic and delivering a decisive blow to Canada. 1,000 were killed in Haiti, 95 in the U.S., and 81 in Toronto. In Battery Park, winds gusting up to 113 mph topped all previous records for New York City. Objects from Haiti ended up on the California shore. In all, Hurricane Hazel lasted 13 days and cost $3.4 billion by today's standards. To us kids, it was all a game. No school for two weeks!
"Get away from the window," my mother snapped every five minutes. How could I? It was better than television which, in those days, was black and white and limited to three channels. As I recall, they all displayed a static emergency message. Telephone lines were down. Mail stopped. No newspapers. The only source of news was the radio. If you had electricity. But standing at the bay window, I had a front-row seat of a spectacular show. Howling winds, tree limbs cracking and rain moving sideways in thick sheets. It was so enthralling I forgot to fight with my sister.
For decades, Hazel was the standard by which all subsequent storms were rated. "Oh, this one is bad, alright. But remember Hazel?," they'd say. Hazel was so lethal that the name was officially retired from the hurricane registry — like the shirt of a football player on steroids — and immediately fell into disfavor as a name for baby girls. The thing is, Hurricane Hazel was the exception. If you lived in the mid-Atlantic, hurricanes came every fall but were no big deal. Houses at the Jersey Shore needed to be protected and beaches occasionally eroded, but it wasn't anything that couldn't be restored by homeowner's insurance and local taxes.
Then came Hurricane Sandy. And the deck is reshuffled. Not only is Sandy the most damaging storm to rip through the mid-Atlantic, but we were told by Governor Cuomo to get used to it. "Anyone who says there is not a change in weather patterns is denying reality," he said. If the flooding of New Jersey's barrier islands, Lower Manhattan and Queens is the new normal, then guess what? The most important issue of the Presidential campaign wasn't the economy, the war in Afghanistan or social issues. It's our infrastructure.
Ancient civilizations understood the power of nature. They knew that angry gods could destroy their towns with floods, volcanoes and earth quakes. Perhaps it's time for us to rethink not just the power of nature, but the nature of power. If Hurricane Sandy, for all its destruction, caused President Obama and Governor Christie to put aside politics one week before the election and focus on rebuilding our communities, perhaps Sandy will be remembered as an end to the bipartisanship that has been tearing our country apart for four years.
Then again, maybe I'm just fishing.

Cervical cancer screening and protection
Dr. Shana Wingo, MD, is a gynecologic oncologist at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix. For more information on this topic, talk with your doctor or call Dr. Wingo's office at (888) 972-2873 (CURE).
Question: What are the best ways to protect myself from cervical cancer?
Answer: Thankfully, recent medical advancements have given women several options to better protect themselves against cervical cancer. Those options include a vaccine and a proven screening test.
The human papilloma virus, or HPV, is a very common sexually transmitted disease that causes cervical cancer. HPV has many different subtypes, but two of them are considered responsible for most cervical cancers. Gardasil is a vaccine that was introduced recently which protects against these subtypes.
The Gardasil vaccine is recommended for both males and females who are 9 to 26 years old. Research has shown the vaccine can prevent cervical cancer and a pre-cancerous condition called cervical dysplasia. However, Gardasil is only effective for certain subtypes of HPV and does not defend against other sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy.
Getting a regular screening test called a Pap test is another way for women to protect themselves from cervical cancer. Women ages 21 to 29 should have a Pap test every three years, even if they have been vaccinated for HPV. Women in their 30s should continue having Pap tests every three years until age 65, though women who want to extend the time between screenings can choose a combination of a Pap test and HPV test every five years. Women over 65 do not typically need a Pap test, nor do women who have had their cervix removed through hysterectomy.
Every patient is different, so a doctor can best determine if the Gardasil vaccine is appropriate and can establish a cervical cancer screening schedule based on a patient's age and health history. Even if a woman is not due for a Pap test, she should still see her doctor for annual breast and pelvic exams and if any new symptoms arise.

The next time you see flight attendants zooming through an airport, don't assume their luggage is packed with clothes for a Paris overnight. They may well be transporting urgently needed supplies to some of the world's poorest citizens. Because what these Samaritans lack in billions—their average salary is $41,720—they make up for in perks: free travel and, on some airlines, free baggage.
When United flight attendant Mary Beth Lavin heard in 2008 that an Ethiopian orphanage was nearly out of formula, she stuffed three suitcases full of the product and, off duty, got on a plane. In 2009 she founded Formula One Life (formulaonelife.org), a nonprofit that delivers formula, supplements and water-purification devices to Ethiopia, Guatemala and Haiti.
For Kary Doerfler, who flies a Delta New York–Ghana route, the motivation was more personal. "On layovers, I missed my own three kids," she says, "so I started visiting the Osu Children's Home in Accra." Three years ago, she started Dreams for Orphans (dreamsfororphans.org) to raise money to build a nursery for the home's infants.
Soon after United's Trish Hack-Rubinstein began flying, she discovered her schedule allowed her to be a "volunteer junkie." Today she runs a foundation that supports Fresh and Green Academy, a private school in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (friendsoffreshandgreen.com). "There are public schools in Ethiopia, but they don't provide food, so poor kids drop out," Hack-Rubinstein says. "Our school gives them three meals a day."
Hack-Rubinstein hosts fund raisers for the $4,000 a month needed to run the school. But she also packs wisely. "Every trip, I fill two large duffel bags with donated clothes," she says. "What the kids can't use, their moms sell at a store next to the school. They use some of the money to buy yarn to make scarves, and I take those back in my now empty bags to sell in the U.S. For a lot of the women, it's the first income they've ever had outside prostitution, begging or stone hauling."
This kind of experience can put day-to-day flight travails in proper perspective. "Yes, sometimes passengers do go kind of crazy over dumb things," Hack-Rubinstein says. "Their bag is too big to carry on, or they have to sit in the middle seat. I say, 'Relax, it's not that big a deal.' And I mean it."

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment three novels: British literary machinations; an artist arises from a Japanese internment camp, and a mixed martial arts hopeful meets more than his match.
Alys Always by Harriet Lane
Familiar ingredients as in so many British novels: the literary world, the summer house, the great writer and the quiet, ambitious woman. But this one starts with a bizarre event in the woods: a single car accident and only one witness. Frances has come across dying Alys Flyte, they have a brief exchange of words, and that's what connects her with Leonard Flyte's family. From there she plots a scheme with great watchfulness and hidden strategy. Usually a novel this gripping has me rooting for the protagonist, but in the case of Frances, I was often ambivalent. Each finely wrought sentence led me further into the subtle twists of plot and increasing psychological suspense.
Requiem by Frances Itani
Japanese internment camps in WWI in Canada were traumatic enough, but when Bin's "first father" gives him away to an old widower, it seems like the worst of betrayals. But Bin's an artist, the "second father" is very cultured, and ultimately Bin becomes a successful painter. When his beloved Canadian wife Caroline dies much too soon, he gets word that First Father may be on his last legs. They've been estranged for decades. So off Bin goes, deeply conflicted, to mourn his wife and his patrimony with his dog and his memories, revisiting sites along the way. Alternate chapters take us back to the camps. Therein lie tales of injustice, ingenuity, tenacity, and how a cohesive, cooperative society can arise from chaos and extreme deprivation. For instance, in the camp Second Father plays impassioned Beethoven on a painted wooden keyboard until his fingers bleed. Bin grows up with music as well as literature and art. Deafness, often a theme in Itani's work, appears here through Beethoven's affliction. Rich, vibrant, and sad.
The Longshot by Katie Kitamura
Hemingway's influence appears in this world of mixed martial arts boxing. Rivera's a monster in a cape with implacable confidence and a large retinue. Cal, plucked from high school wrestling by Riley, a trainer, was up and coming until Rivera knocked him out. The 4 year climb between that crushing defeat and a rematch in Tijuana is a chance for Cal to reclaim what amounts to his life--the only thing he knows how to do. In the two days leading up to the fight we see flashes of the old spirit in which everything seems to come together, but there are equally prevalent times of fear and doubt from both Cal and Riley. Cal won't back down, even deep into the devastating finish. I was fascinated by this glimpse into physicality and psychology at play in this macho milieu.
Back next Monday.

A friend is going through menopause and instead of facing it, she wants to talk about it.
"I mean," she said earnestly, "Why do we even have to go through it in the first place?"
"Uh, why do I walk into walks before my morning coffee?" I said. "Life's a mystery."
Believe me, I'm not criticizing her. She's in denial and so was I—for years. Her approach to menopause is to hope that what naturally happens to the body during menopause can, well, be ignored since eventually, things will, sort of, hopefully, self-correct.
Said self-correction being facilitated, of course, by the power of one's mind. We're talking positive thinking, being in the moment, or failing all that, a miracle.
Hmmm, nice try.
You see, back on the ranch, the hormones are out of the barn and all hell has broke loose. The body is on a downward spiral and nothing can bring it back.
You can knock yourself out with talk therapy, visualizations, or meditation (and I tried). You can follow weird diets, go on vision quests, or travel the world (and I did). But in the end, the old adage holds true, one kind of repair (getting your head together) can't fix another kind of damage (menopause).
You fix the body by fixing the body.
Menopause Is a Physical Change with Emotional Consequences
The only reason I know this is because I held to the notion that the right attitude can cure anything as tightly as my thighs hold onto cellulite.
It took me years of hanging out with denial and its best friend, physical decline, to finally get that the body has a mind of its own. That "mind" is controlled by hormones, especially estrogen.
Don't get me wrong here. I'm not making a case for you taking hormones after menopause. You'll need to figure that out on your own.
I'm only saying, just because the mind and the body are two sides of the same coin, doesn't mean you can tend to your mind and trust the body will be okay, too. The body needs its own kind of care.
Revisiting Hormones
Okay, I know, I'm repeating myself. And you're probably thinking, 'Well, duh, Pam.'
But here's the thing: with all the negative news and controversy out there about taking hormones after menopause, a lot of women ran screaming from them.
And for the most part they haven't come back.
That means that the one thing that might actually be able to help them (hormones) is not even on their radar. In fact, it's forever banished from the universe of options.
Many women today have this mindset of, I'll try anything but hormones. When the "anything" (usually some bogus supplement or therapy) fails to help, they blame themselves for getting fatter, crazier, more depressed, or what have you. Which is as crazy as losing your voice and then wondering why the hell you can't sing.
Stalking a Scientist To Find the "Truth"
When I finally hit a wall after years of this kind of thinking, I did something I don't recommend you try on your own. I stalked a hormone scientist for two years. I was determined to get to the bottom of the hormone controversy.
Eventually, I found the answers I needed and got myself on hormones. That's a whole other story—one that you'll hopefully be able to read about one day since I wrote a book about it.
All I'm saying here is the next time you find yourself sobbing uncontrollably in your closet, or standing in a puddle of your own sweat, or wondering how life suddenly got so dark and confusing, consider the hormones.
They helped make me normal. Well, at least physically speaking.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kimmm Looks great but has a couple of issues I used the 5x7 frame to display an old postcard. It looks fantastic, and the wood complements the aged apperance of the postcard. The frame comes out about an inch from where the photo sits, meaning the photo is recessed. I can't give the frame five stars because I had a problem with the size -- I used my own standard-sized mat, and it had to be trimmed to fit in this frame. I had to cut off maybe 3 millimeters. Also, I'm disappointed that there is no hook on the back for hanging the frame. October 1, 2014

Superior to get a Velodrome
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Sounds familiar right? Boulder tried at least 5 times, Then Broomfield, Lyons, Erie and not Superior. No new news on the Erie Velodrome, they are still trying to raise some more funds.
Article from Colorado Hometown Weekly
Superior could be home to a town center, almost like an amusement park geared toward adults, incorporating a sports and fitness center and other amenities that could become a national draw.
Representatives from Explor Ventures and Oz Architecture presented design concepts to the Superior Board of Trustees for the proposed center during its Monday, June 28, meeting. The town center -- a $350 million investment -- would sit on a 188-acre parcel at the southeast corner of U.S. Highway 36 and McCaslin Boulevard, north of Rock Creek.
"The plan is still conceptual but it's really a big idea for creating a destination nationally, not just another little town center. This would be one-of-a kind in America," said Boulder-based Oz Architecture consultant Carl Worthington.
The center would be resort-like, opposed to a standard Midwest downtown center, Worthington said, and could draw people from all over the country.
Conceptual plans revealed that the 500,000 square-foot sports and fitness center would include interior soccer fields and ice rinks, and Explor President Gary De Bay has met with Boulder Valley Ice officials to combine forces and possibly offer as many as four sheets of ice, opposed to BVI's original plans for a 95,000 square-foot, two-sheet ice rink. The sports and fitness center could accommodate 10,000 members, De Bay said.

Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) includes support for new types of hardware and emerging hardware standards and includes all of the updates that have been released since SP1. For more information, see What's included in Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2).
The recommended (and easiest) way to get SP2 is to turn on automatic updating in Windows Update in Control Panel, and wait for Windows Vista to notify you that SP2 is ready to install. You just need a few clicks to begin the installation and the rest of the process is automatic.
In order to install SP2, you must first have Windows Vista Service Pack 1 installed. For more information, see Learn how to install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1).
If Service Pack 2 is listed in the Windows edition section, SP2 is already installed on your computer and you don't need to follow the instructions below.
Before you install SP2, we recommend you do the following:
Log on to your computer using an administrator account, make sure all other users are logged off of the computer, and close all open programs.
Back up your important files to an external location, such as an external hard disk, DVD or CD, or USB flash drive. For more information, search for "backup" in Windows Help and Support.
If you're using a laptop computer, connect it to an AC electrical outlet and don't unplug or restart the computer during installation.
Update any device drivers as necessary. You can do this by using Windows Update or by going to the device manufacturer's website. For more information, see Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly.
If you have an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connected to your computer, disconnect the connecting serial cable before installing SP2. The installation automatically attempts to detect devices connected to serial ports, and UPS equipment can cause problems with the detection process. It's fine to leave your computer connected to a UPS for power.
Some antivirus software might prevent SP2 from installing, or might slow down the installation. You can try temporarily disabling your antivirus software. If you do so, be sure that you're aware of the risks involved, and be sure to enable it after the service pack is installed.
Make sure you have enough free disk space to install SP2 (even though much of that space will be reclaimed after the installation). If you need to create free disk space, go to Strategies for freeing disk space online.
Windows Update
x86-based: 684 MB
x64-based: 863 MB
Downloading SP2 from the Microsoft website
x86-based: 1.8 GB to 3 GB
x64-based: 3.2 GB to 5 GB
Integrated installation for enterprise and IT professionals
x86-based: 10 GB
x64-based: 13 GB
If your computer is set to automatically install updates, you'll be prompted by Windows Update to install SP2. Follow the instructions on the screen. If you aren't prompted to install SP2, follow these steps:
Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
In the left pane, click Check for updates.
If SP2 isn't listed, you might need to install some other updates before installing SP2. Install any updates listed as Recommended or Important, return to the Windows Update page, and then click Check for updates.
Follow the instructions on your screen. The computer might restart several times during the installation.
After installation is complete, log on to your computer at the Windows logon prompt. You might see a notification indicating whether the update was successful.
If you disabled your antivirus software, enable it again.
If you have problems obtaining the service pack from Windows Update, you can download SP2 as a standalone installation package from the Microsoft Download Center website, and then install SP2 manually.
Depending on whether you're running the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Windows Vista, download the update for 32-bit versions
or download the update for 64-bit versions.
To install SP2 immediately, click Open or Run, and then follow the instructions on your screen.
To install SP2 later, click Save to copy the installation file to your computer. When you're ready to install the service pack, open the file you copied to your computer.
On the Welcome to Windows Vista Service Pack 2 page, click Next.
After installation is complete, log on to your computer at the Windows logon prompt. You'll receive a message indicating whether the update was successful.
You can order a DVD from Microsoft containing SP2. For more information, go to the Microsoft website.
Insert the disc into your computer with your current version of Windows Vista running. The Install Windows Service Pack wizard should automatically appear.
If you installed SP2 yourself, you can uninstall it. However, if your computer came with SP2 already installed (an integrated installation), it can't be uninstalled.
Under Programs and Features, click View installed updates.
On the Uninstall an update page, click Service Pack for Microsoft Windows (KB948465), and then click Uninstall.
Follow the instructions on your screen.
Make sure you're taking advantage of all the ways that Windows can help keep your computer as secure and safe as possible:
Install an antivirus program. Antivirus programs scan for viruses trying to gain access to your e‑mail, operating system, or files, and can help protect your computer. To find an antivirus program, go to the Windows Security software providers webpage on the Microsoft website.
Don't open e‑mail attachments. Many viruses are attached to e‑mail messages and will spread as soon as you open the e‑mail attachment. It's best not to open any attachment unless it's something you're expecting. Microsoft Outlook and Windows Mail can help block potentially dangerous attachments.
Use a firewall. Windows Firewall or any other firewall program can help alert you to security threats. It can block viruses, worms, and hackers from attempting to download potentially harmful programs onto your computer.
Use the latest version of Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 8 contains security and privacy improvements, such as SmartScreen Filter and InPrivate Browsing, which can help protect your computer so you can browse the web with more confidence. For more information, go to the Internet Explorer webpage on the Windows website.

Back when Republican legislator LaVar Christensen was trying to unseat Congressman Jim Matheson in 2006, he used to say Job One was stopping the right-of-center Democrat from voting to confirm Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the U.S. House.
At the time, that vote was really the only thing that separated Matheson from the conservatives who ran against him.
He voted for the war in Iraq and the Bush tax cuts. Sure, he tries to protect wilderness. And sometimes, he splits the difference, voting against bills—Obamacare—before he votes for them. But for all intents and purposes, Matheson is a moderate Republican. In any other state, he'd be a good conservative.
So, it's no surprise that the heir to a Utah Democratic dynasty now says he'd renew the Bush tax cuts—ALL of them. Normally a fiscal conservative, Matheson doesn't seem worried about projections that show extending the cuts will balloon the national debt even further.
"A fragile economic recovery is no time to raise taxes," Matheson tweeted Tuesday.
He's been driven into a new, more Republican congressional district by legislative redistricting. His membership in the conservative "Blue Dog" Democrats doesn't mean much in a House wagged from behind by Tea Party loyalists.
And his opponent this year is an unusual (but compelling) novelty in Utah politics: African-American Mormon Mia Love. It's not inconceivable that the moderate Utah Republicans who vote for Matheson will want to rebut the idea that race has anything to do with their opposition to Obama by voting for Love. Scott Matheson's son is a canny politician. In office since 2001, he's held off six conservative challengers—in redder-than-red Utah. Whatever he's doing is working.
You may not know what he stands for, but Jim Matheson knows how to survive.

Shon In Contention Through NCAA Regional First Round
Near the top of a crowded leaderboard, Princeton junior Kelly Shon fired a 1-under 71 Thursday at the NCAA East Regional at Auburn.
That was good enough to tie her for 14th place after the first round, but it was a couple shots short of where she would need to be to get one of the two individual berths to the NCAA finals if the tournament ended today. Through the first 18 holes, those bids would go to Tennessee's Erica Popson, the co-leader after the first round at -5, and Tulsa's Shu-Yin Liu, who was 3-under and is playing as an individual like Shon.
The individual bids are given to the top two players on the leaderboard who aren't on one of the top eight teams in the standings.
Shon made par on 15 of her 18 holes Thursday. She fell to 1-over after a bogey on the par-4 third hole, but she made birdie on a pair of par-fives, holes seven and 12, to move into red numbers.
Shon and the rest of the field will play a round each day on Friday and Saturday before the advancing teams and individuals are determined. Shon's second round will begin at 1:45 p.m. ET.
The leaderboard for the regional can be found here via Golfstat.

Win the New War Tapes CD!
Considering I have my headphones on pretty much all day every day, I'm always on the lookout for new music. One of the best things about my job is discovering new bands that are awesome and that care about animals. So I'm sure you can imagine my glee in discovering self-proclaimed "heart-quaking doom pop" band War Tapes.
peta2 caught up with Matt and Becca of the California quartet at this year's SXSW festival in Austin, TX. Here they are in their own words …
What prompted you to want to go vegetarian?
Becca: Growing up I always had pets, and animals have always been a really big part of my life. I worked on farms when I was a little kid and I just couldn't imagine ever killing an animal just to eat it. As people we have the right to make a conscious decision on what to eat … if I can chose to not eat an animal why would I choose otherwise? You don't eat your dog. You don't eat your cat. Why would you eat a cow or a pig? It just doesn't make sense.
Matt: Yeah, I have a much less intellectual answer actually. I think in middle school I got really into Morrissey and that definitely sparked the interest.
What animal issues are close to your heart?
Becca: Pretty much anything involving animal cruelty is really close to our hearts. The over population of domestic animals is definitely a big issue. I'm a really big proponent of adopting your pets. There are so many rescued animals in shelters. There are so many people giving away their animals because they can't keep them. There's just so many options rather than going to a pet store where dogs are from puppy mills.
Any thoughts on fur?
Becca: (I'm) definitely anti-fur. It's disgusting. It's cool too because I feel like now you can find cool things that are not made of leather. There are a lot of stores that are using plastic synthetic leather for shoes, or canvas, and it looks just as good. There are a lot of good options today, so I think it makes it a lot easier to choose non animal products.
How do you feel about companies that test products on animals?
Becca: I think animal testing in general is barbaric and archaic. I don't think it needs to exist anymore. It's just a really cheap way for these companies to get their testing done. They make so much money, I think they could invest in safer ways of testing their products. It just doesn't make sense and I think it needs to be publicized more.
What advice can you give fans who want to be more involved in animal rights?
Becca: Daily choices you make are really a great way to start. I think it all starts inside, so if you decide that (animal rights is) something that's important to you, and hopefully it is, I think it's easy to start vegetarianism everyday. Every menu in every restaurant is going to have a vegetarian option. You can request things be made without meat. It's really easy and it tastes just as good. Starting where you can is the simplest way, and making those decisions everyday … once you get comfortable with that it's so much easier to expand upon. You can do research online; you can find local groups …
Matt: There's definitely some issues where it's up to you. I learn a lot from Becca and it's become part of our daily lives.
You can catch War Tapes on tour with VNV Nation this summer and their new album The Continental Divide is available now. You can purchase the album on Amazon or iTunes, but it just so happens that I have 5 copies of their new CD to give away to you! For a chance to win, leave a comment with your favorite song to put on a summer mixtape. The 5 entries with the most creative songs will be chosen by June 2 and notified by June 9.

I have been taking probiotics for over a decade, and I have tried every good product there is. Nothing has given me results like this. I have always taken probiotics because I know that you cannot be healthy without them, but I never saw any dramatic results until taking the blood type specific probiotics. These have changed by bowels completely. Less gas, less bloating, and less pain. As an IBS sufferer, I can truly say that this is the best I have felt in 20 years. Please be aware that it took me a whole year of being on these before the dramatic changes happened. But I had been on many other probiotics for well over a decade without profound physical changes. There is something special about these. Many of my friends and family members have said the same. This is especially true of my father's family as we are all plagued with various gastro-intestinal diseases and we have not seen results like these with other probiotics.
I have been interested in the Blood type diet for many years now and found that many of the recommendations did work for me (although not all) so I thought I would give these a try. Am taking 2 each morning (in addition to my many other supplements) and am finding they work well. I take them on an empty stomach before breakfast and they definitely make me feel better and eliminate any constipation. They are certainly worth trying if you are Blood Type A. I preferred them to Dr Ohhira's Probiotics Original Formula (which were much more expensive) and also they also work out cheaper than Enzymatic Therapy's Pearls IC, although I have not tried those. I think the combination of prebiotic and probiotic in these is very beneficial so not only are they contributing good bacteria, but are feeding them as well.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
The first prenatal visit is the most thorough. A complete medical history is taken, a physical examination is conducted, as well as certain tests and procedures are performed to assess the initial health of the mother and the embryo. The first prenatal visit may include the following:
All pregnant women are tested for the Rh factor during the early weeks of pregnancy. A mother and fetus may have incompatible blood types, the most common is Rh incompatibility. Rh incompatibility occurs when the mother's blood is Rh-negative and the father's blood is Rh-positive and the fetus' blood is Rh-positive. The mother may produce antibodies against the Rh-positive fetus which may lead to anemia in the fetus. Incompatibility problems are monitored and appropriate medical treatment is available to prevent the formation of Rh antibodies during pregnancy.
The first prenatal visit is also an opportunity to ask any questions or discuss any concerns that you may have about your pregnancy.
A healthy first trimester is crucial to the normal development of the fetus. The mother-to-be may not be showing much on the outside, but inside her body all the major body organs and systems of the fetus are forming.
As the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall, several developments take place, including:
It is during this first trimester that the fetus is most susceptible to damage from substances such as alcohol, drugs, certain medications, and illnesses such as rubella (German measles).
During the first trimester, both the mother's body and the fetus are changing rapidly.
The most dramatic changes and development occur during the first trimester. During the first eight weeks, a fetus is called an embryo. The embryo develops rapidly and by the end of the first trimester it becomes a fetus that is fully formed, weighing approximately 1/2 to one ounce and measuring, on average, three to four inches in length.
Just as each child grows and matures at different rates and at different times, so does that same child as it begins its life in the womb. The chart provided below provides benchmarks for most normal pregnancies. However, each fetus develops differently.
Although the fetus is only 1 to 1 1/2 inches long at this point, all major organs and systems have been formed.
The fetus is most vulnerable during the first 12 weeks. During this period of time, all of the major organs and body systems are forming and can be damaged if the fetus is exposed to drugs, German measles, radiation, tobacco, and chemical and toxic substances.
Even though the organs and body systems are fully formed by the end of 12 weeks, the fetus cannot survive independently.
During pregnancy, many changes are also occurring in the mother-to-be's body. Women experience these changes differently. Some symptoms of pregnancy continue for several weeks or months, while others are only experienced for a short period of time. Some women experience many symptoms, while other women experience only a few or none at all. The following is a list of changes and symptoms that may occur during the first trimester:
Kegel exercises are pelvic floor exercises that help tone the muscles in the vagina and perineum, which is important for delivery. Conditioned muscles will make the birthing process easier. In addition, these exercises, when done after delivery, can help to speed up the recovery process. Doing a Kegel exercise is simple.
First, tighten the muscles around your vagina and anus. (The exercise is similar to stopping urination midstream.)
Hold the muscles tightened as long as you can, working up to 8 to 10 seconds each time.
Relax the muscles.
Finally, tighten and relax the muscles several times a day.

|USTFCCCA honors nine Vandals
NEW ORLEANS – Nine University of Idaho student-athletes were honored this week by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) as 2012 Division I All-Academic selections.
Three Vandal men, junior Jeremy Klas (Moscow, Idaho), junior Mike Marshall (Yakima, Wash.) and sophomore Ugis Svazs (Kuldiga, Latvia), were honored on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the organization announced its women's selections, which included six Vandal women, sophomore Alycia Butterworth (Parksville, British Columbia), sophomore Hannah Kiser (Wenatchee, Wash.), junior Kristine Leonard (Rathdrum, Idaho), senior Gabby Midles (Camas, Wash.), junior Ellen Rouse (Orofino, Idaho) and junior Liga Velvere (Saldus, Latvia).
"It's always exciting to see that many student-athletes rewarded for both academic and athletic excellence," Idaho director of track and field/cross country Wayne Phipps said on Wednesday. "We always place a large emphasis on academic success with our kids, so it's always really nice for them to be recognized with these awards. For them to do both parts at a high level means a lot to our program and our department."
Among the nine honorees, two Vandals, Klas and Midles, are repeat honorees. Klas was a 2009, 2010 and 2011 selection, while Midles was also honored for the 2010 season. Kiser was also selected as a USTFCCCA Division I All-Academic selection for cross country earlier in the year. Idaho's combined nine honorees are tied for its most since the award's inception in 2007. Idaho also had nine student-athletes on the list in 2009.
Idaho represented nine of the Western Athletic Conference's 22 individual honorees. The USTFCCCA handed out honors to 676 women and 431 men for the 2012 indoor and outdoor track and field seasons.
"It's nice for us to show that you don't have to sacrifice athletic success for academic success, or vice versa," Phipps said. "It shows the balance that we have overall as a team and also it shows the result of the hard work in all aspects by these student-athletes."
To be selected for the honor, student-athletes must have compiled a 3.25 or better cumulative grade-point average and have met at least one of two competitive standards. They either had to finish the indoor track and field season ranked among the NCAA's top 96 in an individual event or top 48 in a relay, or must have competed in any round of the NCAA Division I Track & Field Championships during the outdoor season.
Alycia Butterworth
Butterworth is a sophomore from Parksville, British Columbia, who won her first career WAC crown in the 3000m steeplechase in dominating fashion in 2012.

He set the Dan O'Brien Track Facility record in May with a career-best throw of 230-6, which also ranks third all-time at Idaho. He is a two-time All-WAC honoree and a two-time WAC All-Academic selection who holds a 3.61 GPA in Education.
Ugis Svazs
Svazs shined for Idaho in the men's javelin in his first competitive season as a Vandal in 2012.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama closer Thomas Burrowsgarnered Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American honors as announced by Collegiate Baseball on Wednesday. Burrows, who finished his freshman season with a 4-2 record and a 2.15 ERA with a team-leading 11 saves, was one of nine players selected as relief pitchers to the All-America team.
Burrows, a 6-1, 220-pound native of Florence, Ala., was 11-for-11 in save opportunities in 2014. His 11 saves rank tied for fourth in program history in a single season, and are the second most in a season for an Alabama freshman. He led the team with 24 appearances, totaling 37.2 innings pitched with 34 strikeouts. He allowed a total of nine runs in his first season at the Capstone, while holding opponents to a .192 average, allowing just 24 hits all season.
Burrows was also selected to the Southeastern Conference All-Freshman Team, and was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Mid-Season Stopper of the Year and Collegiate Baseball Hall of Fame Pitcher of the Year watch Lists.
With Burrows' selection as a freshman All-American, head coach Mitch Gaspard has had four players earn Freshman All-American honors (Ben Moore (2012), Ray Castillo (2013) and Mikey White (2013)) in his five seasons with the Crimson Tide.

Copyright Infringement? There's an App for That
A photographer recently tipped us off about a Chinese Web site that is publishing the work of photographers without their knowledge or permission. The site is branded as if it were produced by Leica, but according to a Leica representative they have nothing to do with it. "Leica Camera always respects the rights of artists and does not support the unapproved publication of artwork," a Leica spokesperson told PDN via email.
Leica did not, however, comment on whether they would pursue legal action to have the site taken down.
An Austrian store that apparently sells Leica cameras and photographic prints is the site's only sponsor.
A few of the photographers whose work is used on the site are: Phillip Toledano, Steve McCurry, Marcus Bleasdale, Annie Marie Musselman, Robbie Cooper, Kosuke Okahara, Dominic Nahr and Michal Chelbin.
The site is also marketing an app, downloadable for free through the Apple iTunes App Store. When you open the app a grid of famous photographs, including Annie Leibovitz's image of Yoko Ono and a naked John Lennon, appear on the screen.
Work by Stephen Shore, Lynn Goldsmith, Jonas Bendiksen, Erika Larsen, Sebastião Salgado and others appear in the "A Pic a Day" section of the app. In the app's "Magazine" section, entire photo essays appear, many of them current. For instance, Sebastian Liste's 2010 Ian Parry Scholarship-winning essay on homeless families inhabiting an abandoned chocolate factory in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, appears.
Photographers we've spoken with had no idea this Web site existed and was using their work, nor were they aware of the app, and we're assuming that none of the photographers whose work is being used gave permission.
Does your work appear on the site?
