During the second and third trimester prenatal visits, your physician may check the following, depending on your current medical condition and the health of the fetus:
The second trimester marks a turning point for mother and fetus. The mother usually begins to feel better and will start showing the pregnancy more. The fetus has now developed all its organs and systems and will now focus on growing in size and weight.
During the second trimester, the umbilical cord continues to thicken as it carries nourishment to the fetus. However, harmful substances also pass through the umbilical cord to the fetus, so care should be taken to avoid alcohol, tobacco, and other known hazards.
During the second trimester, both the mother's body and the fetus continue to grow.
Now that all the major organs and systems have formed in the fetus, the following six months will be spent growing. The weight of the fetus will multiply more than seven times over the next few months, as the fetus becomes a baby that can survive outside of the uterus.
By the end of the second trimester, the fetus will be about 13 to 16 inches long and weighs about 2 to 3 pounds. Fetal development during the second trimester includes the following:
A fetus born at the end of 24 weeks may survive in a neonatal intensive care unit.
The second trimester is the most physically enjoyable for most women. Morning sickness usually abates by this time and the extreme fatigue and breast tenderness usually subsides. These changes can be attributed to a decrease in levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone and an adjustment to the levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones.
The following is a list of changes and symptoms that may occur during the second trimester:

Abdominal Crunches:
For tummy fat reduction, abdominal crunches are the way to go. They are one of the most efficient means of reducing tummy fat and can produce results in a short span of time. Initially, you may find it difficult to perform these crunches, but it should become easier within a few days.
These exercises should be performed every day and the results will be apparent within a month.
How to do abdominal crunches:
Work up to three sets a day with appropriate intervals between each set. A 15 minute workout every day will soon burn off the tummy fat and you should see evidence of this within a month.
Make sure that your head faces the ceiling initially and thereafter remains in a straight line with your spine. The chin should not touch the chest as this increases pressure on the neck and reduces pressure on the abdomen. Do not keep your feet up on a bench or desk. These exercises fall into the high intensity category and are the most effective for reducing tummy fat. Read more tips on reducing stubborn belly fat.
Bicycle Crunches
Bicycle crunches are another great way to reduce abdomen size by burning away tummy fat. It employs a cycling action that targets the lower abdominal region.
How to do bicycle crunches:
Before doing this exercise it is important to perform some warm up exercises that will ensure healthy blood circulation. Ensure that you lie down on a flat and firm surface. Wear loose clothes that will not impede your blood circulation. Do not perform these exercises on a full stomach as they may cause you to vomit. This exercise is more effective if it is performed outdoors.
These exercises target the fat that accumulates in the lower abdominal region. They also strengthen the abdominal muscles and help reduce the side bulge around the tummy.
Sit Up Crunches
Another exercise that helps reduce tummy fat with great effectiveness is the sit up crunch.
How to do sit up crunches
This exercise is more effective when performed outdoors as the fresh air improves blood circulation. Make sure you inhale while sitting up and exhale while moving downwards. Wear loose clothes so as not to impede blood circulation.
Apart from these three exercises, there are many other exercises that can help in abdomen trimming. These include reverse crunches, leg lift exercises, hip lift exercises, stomach vacuum exercises and inclined sit ups. A professional physical trainer will help you to formulate an exercise regimen that can help you accomplish your goal of losing tummy fat.

Count your blessings with child rearing
Published: Thursday, September 12, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 3:48 p.m.
I am sure that we have all heard or said it ourselves, "What's wrong with these kids today?" There's really no ways to sugar coat it. Youngsters are more disrespectful, irresponsible and ungrateful than the yesteryears of ours or our parents. I am not including all children. I am sure if you are not raising one, you may know one who fits the description. We may find ourselves saying, "If I ever acted that way, my mom or dad would …" Old or young every generation has shared the feats of child rearing. We have moments wanting to raise our hands in defeat, throwing out a white flag to surrender and declaring, "Give me a break!"
I recently heard on a news station that a surrounding county is trying to implement new legislation decreasing penalties in the juvenile justice system for offenders under the age of 18. I question this act not only as a mother but also as someone who has dealt with the Davidson County juvenile system. I strongly believe that repeat offenders may not continue on the criminal cycle if they are given stiffer penalties for their first offense. When did it become acceptable to say, "If I ever acted that way," instead of, "I would never act that way"? We are left to wonder if that type of attitude helps create and sustain the problems we have with our youths today.
The old adage says, "It takes a village to raise a child." Instead of blaming just the parents, community and church leaders, public officials and everyone who has contact with a child should take some responsibility. Most importantly we need to hold the youths accountable. Society as a whole has a moral necessity and an obligation not only to tell but show children the differences between right versus wrong. Set the example; a follower is only as good as his leader. If we cannot reach them now, we may see them on Court TV in the future.
However, with all of this kept in mind, children do not come with a handbook. We as parents have our shortcomings. We are not perfect. You can only do so much. Once the day arrives that they are considered of legal age and a young adult, we must take a step back, say a prayer and hope they learned something a long the way.
I prefer to count my blessings along the way. My children have a roof over their heads, food on the dinner table, basic utilities, clothes and shoes. These essentials may not always include their own bedroom, brand-name shoes and clothes, and a five-course meal, but the necessities are met. If we as parents allow continued bad attitudes and bad behavior with lower expectations and consequences, then we ultimately are failing as society as a whole. Young adults need to have something to aspire to. They may say they do not want punishments, but they do require some basic discipline guidelines.
What happened to the good old days of earning your way in the world? Instead of the idea that everything will be handed to you, how about an honest day's work for an honest day's pay? Every decade is faced with new hurdles when it comes to child rearing.
Our generation may be handicapped by modern-day technology of computers, but we can use this to our benefit. When your child misbehaves, breaks a rule or is just downright nasty with attitude, take away the iPod, the cell phone, the Wi-Fi, the television. We as parents can give children and teens a dose of their own medicine.
Readers may be asking at this point what brought about these reflections. I recently was sitting on my lunch break with coworkers. One of my friends, a mother of two young children, told us that her son brought her to tears when he told her she was a mean mommy. Almost unanimously we "seasoned" moms replied, "Wait until they say they hate you!" A round of laughter erupted as she looked at us mortified.
Will it always be this bad? Of course not. Are all children the same? No. Will they eventually look back and have a few regrets and change? Almost always. I believe a truly good thing to keep in mind as children grow and put us through trials and tribulations is: "When they are young they will step on your toes, when they get older they will step on your heart."

Luxembourg : Michelin's recommendations
No, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is not limited to numbered bank accounts! This pretty little country of 500,000 inhabitants, located at the crossroads of Europe, has three official languages (French, German and Luxembourgish) and lots of unexpected charm. Luxembourg, its capital built on a plateau dotted with ravines, looks like a stage set. Behind its calm façade as a financial hub and headquarters for European institutions, it is quite a lively place, largely due to the student population. Be sure to visit Mudam, the museum of modern art, and the superb Philharmonie concert hall designed by Christian de Portzamparc. The town also boasts the best Italian restaurant outside Italy, Mosconi, in addition to its many other Michelin-starred eateries.
Luxembourg's roads take you through picturesque landscapes with rivers meandering past meadows and beech forests, steep ridges and high craggy walls, often topped by a castle in ruins. It's a fun place to go hiking, mountain biking or take a boat ride. Luxembourg's Little Switzerland is the perfect spot for these activities, with its thick forests, babbling brooks and underbrush covered with ferns and blueberries. You can hike down nearly the entire Sûre Valley, which originates in Belgium and juts deeply into the ancient Oesling Massif. The slopes of the more luminous and open Moselle Valley produce white wines, sparkling wines and a few rosés that are well worth trying.

Last Place
As I sit here writing this blog post, the Minnesota Twins currently reside in the cellar of the AL Central division. The last time they finished a season that low in the standings was 2000, when I was starting high school and didn't yet even have cable to watch them on MSC (Midwest Sports Channel, the precursor to FSN).
Some "classic" names on that '00 roster included Ron Coomer, Jay Canizaro, Matt Lawton, Butch Huskey, Midre Cummings, Sean Bergman, and Mark Redman.
Suffice it to say, it is strange to be in the position of looking up at the KC Royals after being on the "other side" for so long. A bit humbling, I suppose.
I remember a few months ago, with the Twins in fourth place, my goal was to see the team move up slot by slot in the standings. Well, the opposite has transpired and now the goal becomes climbing out of the basement back to respectability.

1) The third year of the Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery course consists of two integrated semester units of four credit points each (HME301 and HME302). Semester 1 enrolled credit points, 4; achievable credit points at the end of Semester 1, 0.
2) ^This unit is delivered in Cloud (online) mode, with online delivery of most curriculum materials to ensure that students working away from major centres are well supported.
Laptop computer requirement
Students enrolled in the BMBS require a wireless-enabled, personal laptop computer* to undertake scheduled learning activities. Wireless access to the Deakin network is available within the teaching spaces of the Deakin Medical School.
* Information about minimum computer standards will be communicated to students upon acceptance into the BMBS.
Police Clearance and Working with Children requirements
In accordance with Department of Human Services policy*, all students are required to undertake a National Police Record Check prior to clinical placements in each calendar year of their course. Students will also be required to hold a current Working With Children Check and will also be required to declare their immunisation status to satisfy the requirements of health organisations where they will be undertaking their clinical learning experience.
* Department of Human Services, Service agreement information kit for funded organisations 2006–2009, State Government of Victoria, Melbourne, retrieved 19 September 2014.
HME301 represents the first half (Semester 1) of Year 3 of the Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery (BMBS) course. Year 3 consists of two semester-long units, which are combined into an integrated year-long program of study of 8 credit points.
In Year 3, the majority of students begin a two-year clinical attachment to one of four clinical schools and continue their study of the four themes of the BMBS. During Year 3, students will typically undertake the equivalent of three days of clinical activity, one day of formal teaching activities and one day of private study each week.
The four themes of the BMBS continue in Year 3. Teaching in the Knowledge of Health and Illness (KHI) and Doctor and Patient (DP) themes is fully integrated, comprising 75% of the Year 3 curriculum and assessment. During Year 3, students undertake six 7-week rotations at hospitals and other sites attached to the clinical schools: Medicine, Surgery, Musculoskeletal/Medicine, Children's Health, Women's Health and Mental Health. The Disciplines of Pathology, Pharmacology and Imaging are integrated across all six rotations. Three rotations are completed in Semester 1 (HME301) and three in Semester 2 (HME302). As the order of clinical rotations varies for individual cohorts of students, the grading of HME301 is combined with HME302 (Semester 2) so that a year grade is awarded only after assessments in all rotations and themes have occurred.
The Ethics, Law and Professional Development (ELPD) and Public Health Medicine (PHM) themes each comprise 12.5% of the Year 3 curriculum and its assessment. Teaching in these themes is integrated into the clinical rotations with additional study modules addressing a range of thematic topics.
Each year a group of students will be attached to a rural general practice where they will complete a Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship with the Rural Community Clinical School in which the material contained in the six clinical rotations (including Pathology, Pharmacology and Imaging) is studied concurrently during a year-long attachment to a regional general practice. Rural Community Clinical School students study the same curriculum and undertake the same assessment as hospital-based students.
In order to comply with Commonwealth Department of Health requirements for rural clinical placements, all students will need to complete at least 4 weeks of a dedicated rural attachment within their clinical years. For students attached to Geelong and Eastern Health Clinical Schools throughout year 3 and 4, this is most likely to occur within the GP rotation in HME401 or the Elective/ Selective/Pre-internship program in HME402. There will likely be a necessity for directed Selective placements in the event that the rural criterion is not met during the preceding placements. John Flynn Scholarship placements occurring outside of Deakin semester periods cannot fulfil these requirements.
Student performance is assessed in a numerical scale of marks from 0-100% and graded as High Distinction (80% and over), Distinction (70%-79%), Credit (60-69%), Pass (50%-59%) or Fail (below 50%). There are a number of formative assessment tasks (including a mid-year Progress Test) which do not contribute to the final mark. More details of summative assessment in Year 3 are provided in the handbook description for HME302 Medicine 3B.
Students are required to meet the attendance requirements of each of the three clinical rotations during HME301 (or within the Rural Community Clincal School program) and to demonstrate competence in clinical assessments and assessment tasks associated with the ELPD and PHM themes during each rotation (see below). Students who have satisfied these requirements will receive an initial mark of RP (result not applicable), which upon successful completion of HME302 will be converted to a single mark and grade for the two integrated units.
Students who do not meet these requirements or whose performance is borderline will be reviewed by the Academic Progress Committee who will arrange support and / or reassessment as appropriate.
Ethics Law and Professional Development
The Ethics, Law and Professional Development (ELPD) theme constitutes 12.5% of the marks for HME301 and HME302. Assessment for ELPD is integrated across HME301 and HME302, and it includes 5 journals with reflections on ELPD issues in clinical practice -1 formative and 4 summative (20% each); attendance and case presentation in a seminar in each rotation -1 formative and 5 summative (20%) and completion of the Professional Competence Process (hurdle requirement).
Public Health Medicine
The Public Health Medicine (PHM) theme constitutes 12.5% of the marks for HME301 - HME302.
PHM in HME301 focuses on the application of knowledge and development of skills in public health to the clinical setting. Assessment involves two submissions: a 750 word Indigenous Health report (50%) and a 1250 word written report (50%)
Doctor and Patient
The Doctor and Patient (DP) theme constitutes 37.5% of the marks for HME301. DP is assessed both within each individual clinical rotation (combined value of 20% of total DP mark) and by an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) of material covered in HME301 and HME302 at the end of Year 3 (80% of the total DP mark). Intra-rotation assessment has three components, the weighting of which varies slightly between rotations:*
a. 'case synthesis' The precise format and weighting will vary between rotations and may take the form of long case presentations, case journey, oral or written case commentaries or analyses.
b. 'clinical skills assessment' The precise format and weighting will vary between rotations and may take the form of a brief clinical examination during a ward round, a brief history and clinical assessment of a patient in the mini-clinical evaluation exercise, (mini-CEX) format).
c. 'Clinical challenges' Skills or activities that are considered vital components of the rotation.
d. 'log book and clinical activities form' Each student will be required to record clinical activities and procedures in a log book or specific rotation forms available on CloudDeakin during each rotation (for example, performing an electrocardiogram, inserting an intravenous line, attending operating or procedural sessions or participating in a multidisciplinary team meeting).
*Students enrolled in the Rural Community Clinical School program will undertake comparable assessment within the Doctor and Patient theme to that outlined above for hospital-based students, namely case synthesis components, OSCE preparation components and logbook components for each of the six rotation Disciplines. Due to the integrated delivery of Disciplines in the Rural Community Clinical School program the precise format of some assessments within the Rural Community Clinical School program may vary from hospital-based rotations.
The Objective Structured Clinical Examination at the end of Year 3 comprises a multi-station OSCE which assess all six clinical rotations undertaken during HME301 and HME302 (0.5 day clinical examination). Standard setting will be used to determine a pass score for each station and an overall pass grade. Students who fail the OSCE will be awarded a fail (N) grade for HME301 and HME302. Students who fail will be required to repeat all components of Year 3.
Knowledge of Health and Illness
The Knowledge of Health and Illness theme constitutes 37.5% of the marks for HME301 but there will be no summative assessment of KHI during HME301. A combined mark for HME301 and HME302 will be awarded based on performance in a 3 hour MCQ summative Progress Test at the end of Year 3. More details of summative assessment in Year 3 are provided in the handbook description for HME302 Medicine 3B.
Students will sit a 3 hour MCQ formative Progress Test during the School of Medicine Semester 1 examination period. The Progress Test will assess material covered in the six Year 3 clinical rotations and the four Year 4, Semester 1 rotations. Standard setting will be used to determine a pass score on the Progress Test for students completing HME301. Pass scores will also be determined for each clinical rotation completed during HME301 and for Pathology, Pharmacology and Imaging by addition of marks for all questions relevant to that rotation or discipline.
Students who are borderline will be reviewed by the Academic Progress Committee, additional support during HME302 will be arranged as appropriate.
Prescribed texts
Students who are accepted into H311 Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery will be provided with a booklist detailing prescribed and recommended textbooks. Students will also be directed to supplemental electronic resources within the Deakin University Library. Self-directed learning through investigations of the literature is an important learning strategy for all themes of the Deakin medical course.

"What are you doing, Dad?" I ask. My 81-year-old father is pouring water precisely to the line marked 16 ounces on the measuring cup. He has done it four times.
"It says add two quarts of water," he explains, looking on the back of the pasta box, "and I intend to do just that." I watch, astonished that anyone would care about such levels of precision. But I say only, "Yum."
"Smart ass," he responds, and then proceeds to do the same for the pasta, shaking the measuring cup to make sure the contents have settled. I am responsible for the sauce, a fact that Dad is happy about until he turns to me and asks, "Where's the recipe?"
"In my head." Dad shakes his but resists the urge to say anything. We have similar natures: Tell us something isn't going to work out, and we'll kill ourselves to prove you wrong. I sauté andouille sausage, shrimp and Vidalia onions until the mixture is golden and fragrant, then finish it with fresh thyme and a little cream. Although Dad declares the result "flipping amazing," we have different approaches to cooking—and to life, which started with the creative way I mowed the lawn as a child, by cutting my name into the grass or carving out a big cake and then dividing it into slices. Dad preferred the grass be cut in a more orderly manner, or at least so you couldn't see a giant jan etched into it.
I was always a little more out there than my conservative siblings. It's not that I'm the black sheep of the family; I'm more like the tie-dye sheep, tree hugging, granola crunching, peace loving. I'm concerned about the environment, Dad's concerned about big oil; I think war is madness, Dad thinks it's a great idea; I think everyone should have health insurance, Dad thinks the deadbeats should fend for themselves. The last political conversation we had was when I was in college and I decided to discuss my stance on nuclear energy. He considered it clean, I considered it dangerous. The argument became so heated that we risked a nuclear meltdown of our own, so I dropped the subject and never brought it up again.
But the one place we always got along was the kitchen, which is where we find ourselves on this particular night, cooking dinner in our own distinct ways. I'm in my fifties and divorced, Dad is now a widower, and I am visiting for the week. My daughters, his garden and his Jack Russell terrier, Bonnie, all make their way into our dinner conversation, the last quite literally as she leaps onto our laps—first his, then mine, then back to his again. Politics stays off the table. Cake recipes work their way on.
I've made a blueberry-peach crumble for dessert. Cinnamon, sugar and summer-ripe fruit bubble away in the oven, the fragrance heady. Dad is regaling me with my grandmother's orange pound cake recipe, which I am fascinated to hear derives its name from the ingredients: a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, a pound, as Dad tells it anyway, of eggs. I get up to check on our dessert; its color reminds me of the setting Wyoming sun outside the kitchen window.
We both learned to cook from Dad's mother. Most of our family vacations were spent visiting her and my grandfather in Alabama. After driving all day from Texas, we'd pull into the tree-lined drive to see Grandma standing on the back porch with her apron on, having spent the entire afternoon cooking. Out we'd tumble from our wood-paneled station wagon right into Grandma's arms, and then straight from there to her kitchen. A typical dinner was fried okra, salmon croquettes, coleslaw and buttermilk corn bread. And then there was dessert: some variety of chocolate cake, peanut butter cookies and sweet, sweet Southern peaches.
My mother, on the other hand, couldn't make toast. Really. She burned it every morning, then scraped off the blackened part and buttered it anyway, with margarine instead of the real thing. Dinner, too, was something we dreaded. About once a week, the oven erupted in flames from the grease that had dripped onto the heating element. Mom would snatch out the offending pan, douse the fire with salt and return the food to the oven. Dinner was served.
So Dad started cooking for selfish reasons; he was tired of charred Frito Pie. Dad was a pharmacist by trade, and his chemistry know-how came in handy. His sauces were emulsified, his sautéed onions caramelized, his salmon perfectly seared. Mom, the first to recognize her shortcomings, was happy to turn over the reins.
Now when we cook together, Dad can relive his childhood, and I can remake mine. My father knows that producing beautiful meals is one of my ways of ensuring that despite divorce, my children have a warm and loving home. As I watch him now, digging into his pasta with gusto, I know that in the kitchen, I earn his respect.
"I need to leave room for dessert," Dad says, pushing his salad away while reaching for more garlic bread. He has stage 4 prostate cancer but is convinced he is going to beat it. He survived a childhood in Depression-era Alabama, where his family was so poor, he swears his grandmother sifted the dirt on the floor for salt. Cancer? "No problem," he says. "I'm going to whip the fool out of this thing." I believe him, too. As he devours his food, he doesn't look like a dying man to me.
"He must be wasting away," a friend says when I recount the litany of illnesses he is suffering from. In addition to cancer, my father has congestive heart failure, congenital lung disease and only one functioning kidney.
"Nope, not Dad," I reply. "The man loves to eat." When one of his children isn't there to monitor meals, his caregiver feeds him a steady diet of red meat, processed foods and ice cream, all, he insists, doctor approved.
Six months later, I am back in Wyoming looking at a man I grew up thinking was a cross between John Wayne and James Bond. But this time, he isn't wearing his cowboy boots or shooting clay targets or telling tall tales with his buddies. Instead, he is wadded up in his recliner with an oxygen tube in his nose, his skin as gray as the ashes from the cigars he used to smoke. The table beside him is cluttered with pill bottles, crumpled paper towels, empty water glasses and the Wall Street Journal.
"What have you been eating, Dad?" I ask. "A little Jell-O," he mumbles. "Chocolate Ensure." Jell-O and Ensure? This I can't digest. Dad has been telling all of us that he is fine, that the chemo is working. This is a man who used to blow snakes' heads off with a shotgun when they slithered into our backyard in Texas, then chop the bodies with a hoe for good measure. Now he can't stand up on his own.
He perks up a bit, though, happy for my company, and we spend the rest of the afternoon remembering old times. I regale his caregiver with stories about growing up in small-town Texas and working in our family pharmacy—the time old man Stephens got locked in the store overnight, the asphidity we sold to people to keep away the "evil spirits," Miss Louise and the way she used to run her tongue around that strawberry ice cream cone.
"We had a lot of fun, Jannie," Dad says, laughing. "But we didn't know it at the time."
"Well, we know it now, Dad," I tell him, "and that's all that matters."
Then, because it's what we've always done, I cook a feast for him—chicken stuffed with goat cheese and dried cherries, oven-roasted asparagus and his mother's chocolate Coca-Cola cake, a recipe so delicious that when I make it for my children, they eat it straight out of the pan with a spoon.
But Dad eats almost nothing. He is exhausted. I sit across from him, choking down my food, hoping against hope that the love I have poured into our dinner will magically cure him, even if I am the only one eating. Fat tears fall onto my plate as I watch him doze in and out of consciousness. For the first time, food can't heal either one of us.
"You don't understand, Jannie," he says when I wave the cocoa-scented cake under his nose in an attempt to entice him. "Nothing matters."
I feel as if I've been socked in the heart. It is then that I realize my father has finally met a challenge he can't overcome, and no Coca-Cola cake or determined daughter is going to change that. I put the cake away, then climb into his bed with a book so every time he opens his eyes he'll see that I'm there.
Grandma's Coca-Cola Cake
Makes 20 servings
2 cups all-purpose flour
9 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1½ cups (3 sticks) butter, softened
1¾ cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup buttermilk
1 and 1/3 cups Coca-Cola
1 (16 ounce) box confectioner's sugar, sifted
1 cup toasted chopped pecans
1½ cups miniature marshmallows
1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 4 tablespoons of the cocoa and the baking soda; set aside.
2. Place 1 cup of the butter in a large bowl. Add the sugar, and beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in the eggs and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla until well blended. In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk and 1 cup of the cola. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the cola mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients; blend well with each addition. Turn batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake about 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. While cake is baking, make the icing: In a large bowl, combine the remaining 5 tablespoons cocoa, ½ cup butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/3 cup cola with the confectioner's sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir in the pecans.
4. While cake is hot, top with the marshmallows. If they don't melt, put the cake back in the oven for a minute until they do. Spread frosting over the marshmallows while the cake is still warm (it will be runny at this point but will firm up when the cake has cooled).

I was a 19 year old kid, excited, lucky and scared to death. The day I signed to Fueled By Ramen was the best day of my entire life. Knowing everything was going to change for me. Every dream I had was coming true. Being able to make music and have a label like FBR support that music to the greatest lengths and highest highs. We released our first full length record 2 years ago. One of my proudest moments was that release day.
Here we are 2 years and a few months later and we are going to start our 2nd full length record. I've never been so proud of something in my entire life. We have written a group of songs for this record that come from the heart. Every word has meaning. Every meaning in every song is so close to us. I think that once you guys hear these songs you will change.

I guess I'm just ornery. But I'm tired of City Creek bashing. It's just a mall, after all, and not much better or worse than most other malls, except for the weird overlay rules from the LDS church–no alcohol, no tattoos, no Sunday shopping–which they claim aren't theirs.
The food is generally awful, like it is in most malls, including Gateway, the mall that killed downtown and instigated the church to build a new mall downtown to replace the old downtown malls that Gateway replaced.
Are you following this?
Anyway, I'm glad to be able to buy a Clinique lipstick downtown. I go see movies at Gateway. And I'm glad both places have at least one decent option when it comes to food.
If Gateway goers can work up the courage to cross 400 West, they'll be rewarded, like I was with a terrific sandwich at Pallet: Grilled cheese made with Beehive cheddar, red pear, arugula and honey. My lunch buddy had a club: house-roasted turkey, artisan bacon, tomato and avocado on toasted artisan bread.
If City Creek shoppers fight their way past the Sbarro lines, they can lunch on a porchetta sandwich–roast pork and green garlic sauce on bread baked before your very eyes, with a side of curried Israeli couscous, at Bocata.
Or a caprese, with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. Or a BLT.
And a pear salad with pecans.
I'd eat it more often if it wasn't in a mall, but this is good food.
So quit your bellyaching, as my grandfather used to say, and enjoy your lunch.

SEATTLE - Designated hitter Nate Causey hit a pair of home runs, including the eventual game-winner in the fifth inning, to lead the 13th-ranked Arizona State University baseball team to a 14-4 win over Washington on Saturday at Husky Ballpark in Seattle, Wash.
Causey hit a solo home run on a full count in the top of the fifth to break up a 4-4 tie and the Sun Devils (35-19-1, 16-13) added eight runs over the next two innings to surge to a nine-run lead, 13-4.
Right fielder Trever Allen recorded three RBI, first baseman Dalton DiNatale went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and a pair of RBI, and Causey finished with three hits, two RBI and four runs scored to pace the Devils.
Starting left-hander Ryan Kellogg (11-0) earned his 11th win of the season and took sole possession of third place on ASU's single-season freshmen wins list. He conceded just four runs in seven innings and allowed just five base runners over his final five innings of work. It was the sixth start in his career that he did not walk a batter and he moved into fifth place on the school's single-season freshmen innings pitched list with 96.2.
Huskies (23-32, 14-15) second baseman Erik Forgione gave UW a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a leadoff single, a stolen base and an RBI groundout before ASU countered with four runs in the top of the second.
The first six batters in the top of the second inning reached base for the Sun Devils on four hits, a walk and an error as ASU erased its 1-0 deficit with four runs.
DiNatale drove in a pair with a two-run single that scored Causey, who reached on a leadoff walk, and Allen, who singled. Left fielder Jake Peevyhouse followed with an RBI double and center fielder Kasey Coffman capped off the frame with a run-scoring single.
UW knotted the game, 4-4, with a trio of runs in the bottom of the second. Shortstop Ty Afenir hit a two-run single up the middle to bring the Huskies within one and later scored on a passed ball after stealing third to score the tying run.
The Devils batted around in the top of the sixth as they tacked on three more runs to extend their lead, 8-4. DiNatale got things going with a leadoff double, and Peevyhouse and Coffman loaded the bases on a hit-by-pitch and a single, respectively. Second baseman James McDonald then knocked a sacrifice fly to right field two batters later, catcher Max Rossiter followed with a two-out RBI single and Allen took a bases-loaded walk.
ASU broke the game open in the seventh with five runs on five hits, including a pair of RBI doubles by Coffman and McDonald, and a two-run triple by Allen.
Right-hander Darin Gillies allowed just one hit in the eighth inning and left-hander Matt Dunbar closed out the ninth in his team-leading 34th appearance of the season. UW starting right-hander Austin Voth (7-6) gave up eight runs, including seven earned, on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings to take the loss.
Up Next:
The Sun Devils close out the 2013 regular season against the Huskies at 12 p.m. PT Sunday. The game will be televised on the Pac-12 Network and will also be broadcast by Tim Healey (@TimHealeyASU) and former Sun Devil baseball star Seth Dhaenens (@sethdhaenens) on the MidFirst Bank Sun Devil IMG Sports Network on NBC Sports Radio AM 1060 and on the All-Access Player at thesundevils.com.

Girl Scouts in county prepare for annual cookie sale
Published: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 9:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 9:24 a.m.
Girl Scouts of Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont, which includes Davidson County, will be out in the community Feb. 9-March 11 selling through the Girl Scout Cookie Program.
As the largest girl-led business in the country, the iconic cookie sale helps girls develop key leadership skills including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics, according to a press release from GSCP2P.
This year, the Girl Scout cookie boxes will be receiving a face-lift for the first time since 1999. The 2013 cookie lineup includes the favorites Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Patties and Caramel deLites, as well as the Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Thanks-A-Lots, Lemonades and Shortbreads. A new cookie, Mango Crèmes, is also being introduced this year.
The price per box is $4, and all the money generated from the Girl Scout Cookie Program stays in the area to help fund various program and troop activities. Girls decide how to spend part of the cookie proceeds throughout the year including helping pay for summer camp, uniforms, badges, troop activities and trips and supplies for service projects.

I owe my long history of good health to Mrs. Danzinger, my grade school nurse. She'd stick a thermometer in your mouth, pull it out three minutes later and scream, "You're faking! Go back to class!"
Over the years, even I believed any cold, flu or deadly rashes I manifested were fake and I was really just fine. So when the vascular surgeon I see for cosmetic vein shots found a lump in my leg, I didn't blink. Even after the biopsy, I never thought anything was wrong.
"Cancer?" I said. "No. What's it really?"
With my doctor escorting me from his fifth-floor office to the hospital's 11th floor, I didn't have time to process the news. Somebody took my blood pressure. Normally it's 110 over 70. Now it was 160 over 80. Five minutes later, I was sitting in front of the man who was my oncologist. I had an oncologist?
The diagnosis: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A curable cancer. "Seventy thousand people get this every year," he told me. I frowned. "So first you're telling me I have cancer, and now you're saying I'm not special?"
I'm the opposite of an I-am-my-own--advocate patient. Instead, I chose to trust my Yale-educated, Castle Connelly top doc and immediately adopt a policy of upbeat obliviousness and no Internet surfing. If ever there was a place to read scary stuff, it's the Web. Dr. Grossbard would take care of my health crisis. But only I could handle my identity crisis: Holy shit! I'm somebody who has cancer!
I waited until that evening to tell my husband, practicing painless ways to deliver the message.
Honey, would you mind picking up my cancer prescriptions at CVS?
Hey—guess who's going bald before you are?
We were feeding our pet fish, George. A relaxing setting. Randy cried. Then rallied. He's my prince.
That week I started doing all the things a person with cancer does, even though I still didn't think of myself as a person with cancer.
At my PET scan, I filled out paperwork about my medical history, something I'd always been smug about. No this. No that. Then I got to the question, Have you ever had cancer? I answered: Yes. But added: For only two days. Next, I was given a radiation-laden "berry" drink. It tasted like liquid gummy bears. I half expected to be told, after the scan, "Good news! You don't have cancer. The bad news: You now have diabetes."
A part of me was fascinated by my new experiences. I felt as if I were watching somebody else have a bone biopsy, somebody else buy a wig. Wigs were for aged movie stars, newscasters and, well, people with cancer. Not for me. When I told the saleslady I wasn't interested in the pricier, real-hair wigs, she warned me that you can't go near a stove in synthetic wigs. I asked, "Are they a problem near a takeout menu?" But the human hair did look much more human.
Though I was now prepared to go bald, I still didn't think of myself as Linda Who Has Cancer. I felt fine. Plus, I was helped along by all the euphemisms associated with chemo. The chemo infusions in the chemo suite. I was waiting for the radiation to be called "tanning booth."
My first chemo session lasted six hours. After sitting for six hours, I want to arrive in London. But my hospital has a music therapist, an art therapist and a reflexologist. And, oh, those cozy Barcaloungers! Maybe I was at Canyon Ranch.
Still, it was the chemo that made my life seem more canceresque. I left the hospital carrying my antibarfing drugs, which included four days of steroids. They produced such a burst of energy that I wanted to clean closets, scrub floors, bang out a couple of new novels and compete in the Tour de France. But then the steroids stopped and the tired set in.
I am not someone who stays in bed all day. I am someone who gets up and makes the bed before she brushes her teeth. I wondered if the doctors had gotten confused and instead of giving me chemo gave me coma.
A friend who had survived breast cancer started sending me spiritual e-mails on how I'd now joined the Sisterhood of Cancer. I didn't want to be in the Sisterhood. I wanted out of the Sisterhood. Another friend informed me that "the underlying emotional causes of cancer are usually unexpressed anger and unresolved resentment." Now I was pissed! I put that friendship on hold.
But so many people volunteered to visit during chemo that I was afraid I might need to schedule additional sessions. And everyone I'd ever met wanted to come watch while I got my head shaved. What was with that? Only Randy got the honor. Afterward, I sent a photo of my new shiny pate to my sister in Chicago, who wrote back: You've had worse hairstyles.
I dubbed myself Sinéad O'Cancer. A big step toward my new self-image as a cancer patient.
Were there perks to being Linda Who Has Cancer? Yes. Homemade soups and flowers from friends. E-mails now signed love. People kept telling me I have a nicely shaped head, an asset I never knew I had. Or needed. And every morning Randy brought me coffee in bed. True, it had Miralax in it, but I was touched.
After infusions two and three, my complexion looked great. A PET scan technician informed me I have extra-long, skinny lungs. I now knew my lungs would look good in jeans. I also learned my scan was clean. No green glowing critters! I was ready to graduate to radiation and a free suntan.
Weeks later, my energy started coming back. I felt healthy. I felt like me. I'd be bald longer than I'd be in treatment. But a few days after getting the news about my clean scan, I spotted a donation card for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society at the grocery store. I slipped in a quarter, thinking, My society! And on my way out, I passed a woman with no visible hair, wearing a turban. I smiled at her. We were Sisters.

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

|ESPN Academic All-District
MOSCOW, Idaho - Two University of Idaho women's soccer players were honored with ESPN Academic All-District awards for Distrcit 8 on Tuesday.
Sophomores Chelsea Small and Lauren Layton are the second and third Academic All-District honorees in school history, and join Britta Rustad, who was selected to the first-team twice, in 2006 and 2007. Small is a first-team honoree, while Layton was voted to the second team.
"It's hard, sometimes, to remember that it's 'student-athlete' and that 'student' comes first," Head coach Pete Showler said. "We as coaches want the girls to perform to their highest ability both on and off the field, and this just highlights how much work they put in, and it's a great credit to them."
Small, a forward from Solana Beach, Calif. (Torrey Pines HS), broke Idaho's school records for goals (13), points (30) and shots (120) this season, and also tied the Western Athletic Conference record for conference-season shots (58), and she did so while maintaining a 4.0 cumulative grade-point average in Secondary Education.
The 2009 WAC Freshman of the Year and first-team all-WAC honoree will now move on to the national ballot for consideration to the ESPN Academic All-America team. Idaho has never had an Academic All-American in women's soccer.
Layton, a defender from Spokane, Wash. (Mead HS), leads Idaho and is tied for fourth in the WAC with seven assists this season, and she also helped the Vandal defense limit opponents to just 20 goals this year, which is the lowest regular-season total in school history. Layton is a Biology major who holds a 3.85 GPA.
"The stats and the GPAs stand for themselves," Showler said. "Both of them come from hard work, commitment to excelling in what they do and in being the best they can be, and when you can do it on and off the field, it shows a lot of character."
To be considered for ESPN Academic All-District mention, an athlete must maintain at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA, hold sophomore standing both academically and athletically, and must participate in at least 50 percent of his or her team's contests during the season.
The award is given by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The nation is split into eight groups, with the first-team honorees from each district moving on to the Academic All-America ballot. District 8 includes schools from the states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawai'i, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington, as well as the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Yukon. Sports information directors in each region vote on the teams.
Both players were also WAC All-Academic honorees last season as freshmen. Small and Layton lead Idaho into its first WAC Tournament this weekend, where the Vandals will face Fresno State in the quarterfinal round on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. (PST).

Sale Price:
The globe learned on December 26, 2004, that tsunamis can bring death and devastation to the world's coastlines. The product of undersea earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, tsunamis can race across oceans at more than 500 miles an hour, leaving a huge wake of destruction when they hit shore. Because it is difficult for scientists to predict how large these massive waves can be, tsunamis are one of the least understood of nature's forces, and one of the most dangerous. With insight from some of the scientific community's foremost researchers, and vivid accounts from past tsunami survivors, Tsunami: Killer Wave depicts nature at its most extreme, profiles the efforts being made to curb its effects, and illustrates the financial, physical and emotional toll it can leave on its victims.

Could the Heat have one more big move left?
Normally, the signing of Kwame Brown would not be the type of move that would reverberate around the NBA.
But because the failed former No. 1 overall draft pick landed in Charlotte, the move becomes noteworthy.
The Bobcats not only have Nazr Mohammed and DeSagana Diop already under contract at center, but also currently are in possession of Erick Dampier.
Only Dampier is not in possession of a guaranteed contract.
The addition of Brown makes it all the more likely that Dampier is not long for the Bobcats, not with $13.1 million due this coming season.
Unlike with a buyout, the Bobcats simply can walk away from Dampier at any time, without owing a single dime.
The Brown signing seemed to send a clear signal of the eventual intent.
Enter the Heat, a team that currently features Joel Anthony, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Jamaal Magloire and Dexter Pittman at center.
Dampier arguably is better than all four.
And Pat Riley certainly has had his way of creating value this offseason.
The difference with Dampier is that it's not as if he also will be getting his $13.1 million this season. He likely will get little of it, if any. Instead, he well could seek exception money or some left over cap space elsewhere, rather than the minimum that Ilgauskas and Magloire have accepted from the Heat.
But Pat Riley would have one bargaining chip that no other contender could offer:
"How would you like to be the starting center for a potential NBA championship team?"
Oh, "And if this works out, we'll have a full mid-level exception available next summer."
Right now, Dampier remains a Bobcat.
But pretty soon his meter is about to start ticking.
And Michael Jordan now has three centers who will earn just about the same combined as Dampier will earn alone.
The math makes no sense in Charlotte. The question is whether Riley's new-age math will tempt in Miami.

ZF-3581: Add Zend_Log::getWriters() to return list of attached writers
Zend_Log should have a getWriters() method to return the list of attached writes for better testing.
Patch to add Zend_Log::getWriters()
Anything problematic with this change? It is really simple and as far as I'm aware does not create any backwards compatibility issues
I don't see a problem with this change, although it will have to wait for 1.8 since it changes the API of Zend_Log. I will check with Matthew to make sure the change is OK with him and , if so, commit accessors for all the properties on Zend_Log.
Postponing pending Matthew's comment. If he is OK with it, we will schedule the change for 1.8.
The change is fine. It should be noted, however, that this would return an array -- not an array reference. If other methods are desired for manipulating the list of writers, we should address that at some point. Otherwise, this looks fine.
Reassigning to component maintainer
What do you think about add a identify name to writer and your respective getter?
$tmp = getWriter('supportTeam'); $tmp->addFilter(Zend_Log::CRIT);
