In the world of vintage cinema on DVD, there are a few big companies that support making classic films readily available. Kino Classics, Flicker Alley, Milestone, and a few of the studio-based archive collections have done a nice job finding the best prints possible in order to allow greater accessibility to cinema's rich history.
Looser Than Loose is a smaller, privately owned company that, for years, has been offering some hard to find silent and early talkie films, especially comedies. This latest disc is one of their most impressive. It is part of a series called The Larger World of Laurel and Hardy, which spotlights films featuring both Stan and Ollie during their solo years, as well as movies featuring the notable people with whom they'd worked. It embellishes our understanding and appreciation of all that surrounded the classic comedy team's brilliantly funny output.
On this three-disc set, we see the work of Buster Keaton, Jimmy Durante, Andy Clyde, Larry Semon, Al St John, Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle, and other fine comic stars of the past, from iconic geniuses to those who were just plain funny.
Disc One offers the MGM feature "Speak Easily," starring Keaton and Durante as well as frequent Laurel and Hardy co-star Thelma Todd, and future Charlie Chan actor Sidney Toler. This public domain movie is available in varying quality, but the Looser Than Loose print is perhaps the best currently available.
Disc Two features five short films, including "Those Bitter Sweets," a Mack Sennett production starring Mae Busch, who memorably played Hardy's wife in a few high profile Laurel and Hardy movies. "The Show" is a typically wild, funny Larry Semon short in which Oliver Hardy offers able support. Semon's vision was grander and more expansive than most comedians, and his gags were explosive and over-the-top. It is as fascinating as it is hilarious. The Cameo comedy "Scrambled Eggs" features rotund Babe London, so funny as Hardy's wife in the Laurel and Hardy short "Our Wife." "Honeymoon Trio" is an Educational release, this one a talkie with Al St. John and directed by Arbuckle. "Boy Oh Boy!" is another Educational talkie production with Andy Clyde and frequent Laurel and Hardy nemesis James Finlayson. The disc concludes with a three minute excerpt from the Neil Hamilton (yes Commissioner Gordon) film "Command Performance" in which Thelma Todd appears.
Disc Three offers four more short comedies including "His Day Out," a King Bee production with Chaplin imitator Billy West and Oliver Hardy; two Stan Laurel solo films – "Smithy" and "Half a Man" are also included; and finally a "Voice of Hollywood" from 1931 in which Laurel and Hardy impersonators cavort with Keaton, Arthur Lake, and Wheeler and Woolsey.
As usual, Looser Than Loose gathers the best cinematic elements available, usually with original titles and intertitles. Unlike many independent DVD producers, the music on the silent films is never tacked on lazily, with no concern as to whether it is appropriate to the action. The music is always carefully selected and fits the action comfortably.
There are some notable exceptions also on this disc. "The Show" offers footage from an Italian print of the film has been restored for this release. Thus we have scenes in this version that are not on previously releases. The print of "Half a Man" is given a new score that works even better with the material than any other DVD version of this short. Finally, there are more films on this volume of "The Larger World of Laurel and Hardy" than any previous discs from the series.
The triumvirate of silent comedy giants, the hierarchy of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd, is certainly genuine and of utmost importance. But looking beyond their contribution and exploring the many other silent and early sound comedians whose work is unfairly forgotten, usually reveals many great surprises. This three disc set is most highly recommended.

Drugs for: Insomnia
Could Cause Weight Gain: Diphenhydramine (in over-thecounter brands Sominex, Unisom, Nytol)
Skinny Alternative: Zolpidem (in prescription Ambien).
Experts Say: Occasionally taking an over-the-counter sleep aid shouldn't cause weight gain; for everynight help, consider switching to prescription.
Drugs for: Diabetes
Could cause weight gain: Rosiglitazone (Avandia), pioglitazone (Actos), glyburide (Diabeta, Glynase), glipizide (Glucotrol), insulin
Skinny alternatives: Metformin (Fortamet, Glucophage, Glucophage XR, Glumetza, Riomet), sitagliptin (Januvia), injectable GLP-1 drugs such as liraglutide (Victoza), exenatide (Byetta), pramlintide (Symlin)
Experts say: Even some doctors don't realize that some popular classes of anti-diabetes drugs can lead to extra pounds—which can make diabetes worse.
Drugs for: Bipolar disorder or schizophrenia
Could cause weight gain: Olanzapine (Zyprexa), quetiapine (Seroquel), risperidone (Risperdal), clozapine (Clozaril, Fazaclo), lithium
Skinny alternative: Ziprasidone (Geodon)
Experts Say: Drugs for bipolar disorder, especially olanzapine, are notorious for often causing huge weight gains in a short amount of time. Ziprasidone operates differently and is not associated with weight gain.
Drugs for: Hormonal birth control
Could cause weight gain: High–dose progesterone formulations, such as medroxyprogesterone (Provera, Depo-Provera)
Skinny alternative: Low-dose progesterone hormonal birth control formulations
Experts say: Progestin hormones are so effective at causing weight gain that they're often prescribed for that purpose in cancer and AIDS patients. One study found that women gained an average of six pounds during the first year on these medications.
Drugs for: Asthma, allergies, inflammation
Could cause weight gain: Oral corticosteroids, including prednisone
Skinny alternative: Inhaled corticosteroids
Experts Say: Taking corticosteroids orally affects the entire body, which is why pills are more likely to cause weight gain than the same medication inhaled straight into the lungs.

Hi, All. I just wanted to say to Greg and Jenn how blown away I was by the Chapel Hill News ad. I have received SO many emails from people saying they saw say it (comment I've received several times: "I was so happy to see your face smiling up at me from the CH News!"), and patients have mentioned seeing it too. When I've been out in the community a surprising number of acquaintances have stopped me to say that they saw me in the paper (I felt like Britney Spears at my kids' school this morning, except that I don't have a manny . . .). I've also had a few health care providers contact me because they saw it.
While part of this is simply due to having the ad in the paper at all, I think this is mostly happening because the ad is so visually grabbing. From the logo to the photo to the rest of the design, it jumps off the page and commands attention. So . . . GOOD JOB!! And THANK YOU!!!!

"I cannot say enough good things about working with Precision Marketing Partners. As a health care business owner interested in growing our services and patient population, I could not ask for a better team in Greg and Jennifer. Their focus, commitment, communication style, and responsiveness is outstanding, and having both of their perspectives on my goals and concerns gives me confidence to move forward with decisions. Greg has a real keen sense of design and exceptional internet marketing knowledge. I have been delighted with the website, ads, and marketing materials he has produced and the results they are generating. Jennifer has challenged my thinking on both short and long term goals, and helps me keep my eye on important variables. I call these two my dynamic duo, and I now that I am working with them, I cannot imagine running my business without them!"

This Week in the Pool ?- The No. 4 Arizona men's and No. 3 women's swimming and diving teams are set to open their 2004-05 season against the Wisconsin Badgers at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center on Friday, Oct. 29 at 2 p.m. (PST).
A Look at the Opponents - The 10th-ranked Wisconsin women's team finished the 2003-04 season 11-1 overall and 6-0 in the Big Ten. The women placed fourth at the 2004 Big Ten Conference Championships and 10th at the NCAA Championships. The No. 16 men's team concluded the 2003-04 season 8-2 overall and 4-1 in the Big-Ten. Both teams are currently undefeated beginning the 2004-05 season as each squad opened the year with victories over the Iowa Hawkeyes to put them at the 1-0 in the Big Ten.
What Happened Last Year? ?- The 2003 dual-meet between the Wildcats and the Badgers resulted in a 175-121 upset over the No. 11 Wisconsin men's team for the No.16 Arizona men. The sixth-ranked Arizona women's team also won 172.5-128.5 against the No. 10 Badgers.
2003-04 Season Review- The Arizona swimming and diving teams certainly made a splash throughout the 2003-04 season. The Wildcats ended their seasons tallying one individual NCAA Champion, 22 All-Americans, 21 new school records and both teams finished in the top five at the 2004 NCAA Championships.
The women's team concluded its 2003-04 dual-meet season with a 7-2 overall record and a 3-2 mark in the Pac-10 Conference.
The women had their best season in four years finishing third at the NCAA Championships scoring 369 points to upset Stanford, California, and Florida. The Cats brought nine swimmers and two divers to the competition in College Station, Texas, to compete in 26 individual events, five relays and three diving events.
The men's team concluded its 2003-04 dual-meet season with an overall record of 5-3 and a 2-2 mark in the Pac-10 Conference.
The men had an equally impressive finish at the NCAA Championships, entering the competition ranked ninth and leaving with a fourth-place finish with 322 points. The Wildcats brought 10 swimmers and one diver to the competition in Long Island, NY, to compete in 28 individual events, five relays and three diving events.
A Look at the 2004-05 Men's Squad - With the return of seven All-Americans, 12 letterwinners and 12 newcomers, the Arizona men's team looks for even greater accomplishments during the 2004-05 season. Two seniors, All-Americans Byron Jeffers and Nate Stevens, will lead the Wildcats to success this season with the help from four juniors, all of whom earned All-American honors in 2003-04 in multiple events, and they serve as four of the most accomplished swimmers on the team. 2004 Olympians Lyndon Ferns and Simon Burnett are among the talented juniors returning along with Tyler DeBerry and Dave Rollins. Sophomore All-American Adam Ritter is expected to add strength to the Wildcats in the freestyle events and there are 12 newcomers who join the men's team this season.
On the diving team, the Wildcats return two letterwinners, junior John Collier and sophomore J.J. Aderholt, and welcome two newcomers to the squad. Head diving coach Michele Mitchell-Rocha hopes to have a successful season and send as many divers to the NCAA Championships as possible. "I certainly think it is in our capabilities to get one or two divers to the NCAA Championships," said Mitchell-Rocha "Then the goal will be, once they get there, to finish in the top 16."
A Look at the 2004-05 Women's Squad - With the return of a defending national champion, 10 All-Americans and 20 letterwinners, the Arizona women's team looks towards the 2004-05 season to make a big splash. The women enter the season ranked No. 3 due to their third place finish at the 2004 NCAA Championships.
"I think the women are excited about the year," said head swimming coach Frank Busch, "I don't think that if I said we were going to lower our expectations from last year that that would be acceptable. I want to at least equal our finish of third from last year or more importantly, better our finish. Every single girl that went to NCAAs last year will be expected to do the same this year," said Busch, "Emily Mason is going to be counted on this season along with Jessica Hayes. We have some really good leadership from the girls and we will take advantage of that."
All-Americans Marshi Smith, Erin Sieper, Jenna Gresdal and Ryann Hackett are among the six juniors returning to the squad this season. Other returnees to watch for are sophomores Whitney Myers, an All-American in seven events, and Melissa Johnson, an All-American in the 200 free and 800 free relay.
Only three newcomers join the women's team this year. Freshman Courtney Cashion will add depth to the freestyle sprint events as she was the 2004 California State Champion in the 50 and 100 free along with fellow freshman Lacey Nymeyer, who was the Arizona State Champion in the 50 and 100 free her senior year. Danielle Erickson, a transfer from the University of Nebraska will contribute to the backstroke events.
On the diving side, three All-American divers will help pave the road to success for the wildcats. Returning seniors Claire Febvay, who redshirted last season in preparation for the 2004 Olympic Games, and Daniela Bemme will act as team co-captains with the help of fellow All-American sophomore Mary Yarrison.
Current Wildcat Olympians- Simon Burnett recently participated in the 2004 Olympic Games where he finished seventh in the 200 free and set a new British record (1:47.72) during the semifinals of the 200 free.
Lyndon Ferns is the only athlete attending Arizona with a gold medal from the 2004 Olympic games. Ferns was a part of the South African 400 free relay team that set a new Olympic record (3:13.17) and featured former Arizona swimmers Ryk Neethling and Roland Schoeman. Returning late from South Africa after the Olympics, Ferns will miss the UA's fall semester, but he will resume competition in January.
Senior diver Claire Febvay also participated in the Olympic Games for France.
Amazing Mason - Senior Emily Mason was crowned the 2004 NCAA Champion in the 400-meter freestyle, setting an NCAA record with a time of 4:01.58. Mason was the only NCAA Champion in the entire UA athletics department for the 2003-04 season. She also finished third in the 400m IM (4:35.38) and fifth in the 200m fly at the NCAA Championships. Mason was named to the 2004 Academic All-District VIII team and an All-Pac-10 Academic honorable mention. Mason is also is a University of Arizona athletics department Academic Champion award winner and she posted team-best times in five different events.
Head Coach Frank Busch ?- Entering his sixteenth year as head coach of the Wildcats, Frank Busch has transformed Arizona swimming and diving into one of the nation's most powerful programs. With the conclusion of the 2003-04 season, Busch has produced two of the top teams in the nation. Busch was recognized for these accomplishments as he was honored as the 2004 NCAA Women's Swimming Coach of the Year. He was also named the 2004 Pac-10 Women's Coach of the Year for the fourth time in his career. Busch was later named an assistant coach on the staff of the women's US Olympic team at the 28th summer games in Athens, Greece. Busch will continue his commitment to bringing honor to the University of Arizona through the success of its swimming and diving programs.
Head Diving Coach Michele Mitchell-Rocha ?- Head coach Michele Mitchell-Rocha is in her ninth year with the Wildcat diving program. Mitchell-Rocha is a four-time recipient of the men's Pac-10 Diving Coach of the Year.
Arizona's Next Action ?- The Arizona men's and women's swimming and diving team will travel to Los Angeles, Calif., on Nov. 19 to take on the University of Southern California Trojans at 10 a.m. (PST).

Team Evergreen Bicycle Club's Triple Bypass Ride: For Those Who Dare
Submitted by David on
Team Evergreen Bicycle Club's Triple Bypass Ride: For Those Who Dare
Evergreen, CO - December 8, 2011 – Team Evergreen Bicycle Club's Triple Bypass Ride has put its mark on the map in the cycling world as one of the most exhilarating rides in the country. The 24th annual route is worthy to be a leg of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge. Riders climb three mountain passes – Juniper (11,140 ft.), Loveland (11,990 ft.) and Vail (10,560 ft.) - and gain more than 10,000 feet in elevation during the 120-mile ride. The 1,000 riders registered for the two-day Double Triple Bypass will conquer six mountain passes, more than 20,000 feet in elevation gain and 240-miles of riding, all in less than 48 hours. An impressive feat, for those who dared, considering that in its inaugural two day ride, only 360 out of 900 registered Double Triple Bypass riders crossed the finish line.
Registration is open from January 2, 2012 to January 5, 2012 at www.triplebypass.org.
Based on the success of last year's inaugural two-day event, Team Evergreen, in its 24th year of organizing the traditional Triple Bypass, is excited to announce that they will move forward again with a two-day ride to be held on Saturday, July 14 and Sunday, July 15, 2012. "With the overwhelming success of the two-day event and the positive impact it had on the surrounding communities we are thrilled to provide this experience again in 2012," said Victoria Klinger, President of the Team Evergreen Bicycle Club. "The two-day ride provided Team Evergreen Bicycle Club with the ability to raise and donate over $200,000 to local communities and volunteer groups that supported the ride - this is our largest donation year to date."
In its entirety, The Triple Bypass event includes the Saturday ride from Evergreen to Avon open to 3,500 riders, the Sunday ride from Avon to Evergreen open to 2,500 riders, and for those who dare, the Saturday and Sunday ride, also known as the "Double Triple Bypass" will be capped at 1,000 riders. With two ride days planned for 2012, the Triple Bypass Bicycle Ride has quickly become one of the largest and most challenging rides in Colorado.
In addition to its acclaim as a top-notch endurance challenge, The Triple Bypass, since inception, has enabled Team Evergreen to distribute donations in excess of $900,000 to local community and charitable organizations along the route and throughout Colorado. The two ride days will continue to allow Team Evergreen to grow their contributions to the community, and will help to support Team Evergreens' mission to promote safe cycling and showcase the beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
The Triple Bypass provides an unparalleled experience to riders and generates a spotlight for tourism and cycling in the state of Colorado.

Yesterday, former deputy commander of the storied 82nd Airborne, Jeffrey Sinclair, 51, was busted in rank from brigadier general to lieutenant colonel by Army Secretary John McHugh.
Earlier this year, a consensual extramarital affair went south, and because a high-ranking military officer was involved, it quickly became media fodder at Fort Bragg, and beyond. It was a classic case of "he said, she said". He said it was an affair, she said it was forcible sodomy." Hundreds of explicit text messages, brought out in court, prove there was an ongoing, highly sexual relationship between the two Army officers.
The unnamed woman involved is an Army captain.
Sinclair, described in court as a sexual predator, was also accused of sexual misconduct with four other subordinates.
"Papa Panda Sexy Pants" Sinclair, the term of endearment once used by his accuser, was subsequently tried and convicted, not just for the affair, but for forcing his paramour to perform oral sex.
At the time of the conviction in March 2014, Sinclair was ordered to pay a $20,000 fine, a pretty good break for a crime that carried a maximum sentence of life in prison.
With his lower rank, Sinclair will take a significant cut in salary and retirement benefits.
A dubious distinction, Sinclair is believed to be the highest-ranking military officer in the United States to be successfully court-martialed on sexual assault charges such as these. Additionally, this is the first time in ten years the Army has reduced a retiring general by two ranks.
The military has been plagued by sexual assaults and sexual misconduct at every level. Now, with approximately 17% of the U.S. military being female, and with improved reporting measures in place, Soldiers (both male and female) are increasingly more willing to come forward with complaints.
This week the Army announced they are opening up an additional 33,000 jobs to female Soldiers that have previously been off-limits due to gender.
Examiner's Note: Due to an issue with the Examiner Publishing Tool, no photo of Lt. Col. Sinclair was able to be uploaded.

While pre-game festivities focuses on the "bowl" aspect of The Super Bowl XLVIII and the juvenile joke potential, the activity of animal rescue and other nonprofit groups once again gears up to spread a message during Super Bowl commercials.
But, of course, puppy predictors are quite busy all week long in the days preceding The Super Bowl. They reportedly are quite accurate in their work. They appeared on The Tonight Show, courtesy of Jay Leno. The border collie faced off against a room full of balloons festooned with the colors of The Denver Broncos and The Seattle Seahawks. The pups ran around popping the balloons. Legend has it that the last balloon standing is the winner. If those puppy predictors are correct, The Seahawks have it!
Late Night With Jimmy Fallon also got into the puppy predictor game. Puppies raced down a ramp toward bowls of food. Therein lies the choice: a bowl of food with The Seattle Seahawks logo? or a bowl of kibble with the Denver Broncos logo? Oh, the choices! Especially for puppies with stage fright!
Puppies are busy during Super Bowl pregame festivities, that's a fact!
Recall last year's slate of commercials? Who didn't reach for a tissue during Budweiser's "Brotherhood" campaign?
Well, they've done it again with "Puppy Love": #bestbuds. Keep the tissues handy.
Carmax got into the action this year with its Big Game Commercial 2014, asking viewers to vote on a commercial: one featured humans doing the "slow clap" as a new car owner drives home; the other featured puppies doing the "slow clap" while a new car owner drives home. Carmax commercials suggest everything in life is better with puppies.
What's your vote?
But the very best of Dog World comes Sunday: Puppy Bowl X!
Puppy Bowl 2014 mimics Super Bowl, complete with two teams of puppies playing inside a model stadium and commentators. This is Animal Planet channel's signature event that feeds off the festive nature of the Super Bowl. The program airs on Super Bowl Sunday on Animal Planet with puppies from animal shelters nationwide. The commentators offer information on the puppy players as well as how viewers can contact and adopt at their local animal shelter.
For a livestream of Puppy Bowl X preparation pregame, see Zap2it.
This year, the puppies went into intense training with The First Dogs: that's right. FLOTUS herself and the White House pups, Portuguese Water Dogs, Bo and Sunny, held drills on the White House lawn. Word has it First Lady Michelle Obama got these shelter pups in top shape!
During Puppy Bowl, as a puppy crosses into the end zone for a touchdown, a bio appears on the screen, telling viewers how and where to adopt the pup.
Halftime? A kitty show, of course. A sizable scratching post appears on the field and kitties take the field with lights, laser pens, balls of yarn, and more. This year, Keyboard Cat takes the stage, a feline imitation of Bruno Mars.
"As the Super Bowl is to network TV, the Puppy Bowl is to Animal Planet," says Marjorie Kaplan, network president, in a written statement. "It's evolved into a major, brand-defining event with a huge social-media footprint. Ratings have grown each year (last year's drew an average of 2.6 million viewers for its first telecast, with a cumulative total of more than 12 million when all-day repeats are factored in)."
Building on this exposure, animal shelters and rescue groups nationwide are holding adoption events. In the Capitol Region, it's Lov-A-Bull February at Front Street Animal Shelter: Adult pitbulls and pitbull mixes have $14 adoption fee.
"Pit Bulls accounted for one-third of our dog population in 2013," writes the Front Street Pit Crew on the Facebook page. "While showing the world that "Pounds" can save lives, we also want to empower the misunderstood Bully Breeds. Front Street is offering $14 adoptions* to give our community the chance to see the beauty inside the breed!"
For more information, visit 2120 Front Street, call 916.264.5011, or see The City of Sacramento home page for a list of available companion animals. Opt to Adopt at Front Street!

Dixie Carter's Tweet on Thursday that Sting has signed a new talent contract was for storyline purposes due to him no longer being the Impact Wrestling General Manager. Sting's current TNA contract is actually up at the end of the year.
plz stinger, one wwe match! at wm 30 against the undertaker. thats what i want to see…
yes sting please sign a contract with wwe and challege undetaker, im your biggest fans in the philippines
Why would Sting want to go to WWE? He has the perfect schedule, decent pay and doesn't have to worry about VKM screwing up his legacy. VKM would never let Sting win over Undertaker, Hunter or any other WWE home growns. Why waste the time?
I agree with you Lefty. Sting has worked hard for decades and he does not deserve to have his legacy trashed at the hands of Vince McMahon. There is no doubt in my mind that that's what would happen, and personally I am not ready to see Sting jobbing to the Undertaker in the Montreal Screwjob Part II. Sting could retire tomorrow if he wanted to – he does NOT need the money. He enjoys what he does, gets a family-friendly schedule that he likes, and (he knows) he is one of the few people in this business who can make a difference in Dixie's company. I believe that he wants to see this company on its feet and doing well before he leaves this business, and I feel like he considers that a big part of his legacy.
Well why goto the wwe? Because Vince owns most of his televised career. Might be a good idea to be in good standings with Vince, ask Bret Hart.
You're right, Vince does own most of his televised career. But Sting seems no worse the wear for that, and frankly it's not worth making a deal with the devil to sell a few DVD's. I lost what little respect I had for Vince when this year's HOF fame inductees were announced. I have no idea how he can look real wrestling fans in the face and induct a criminal like Mike Tyson into the HOF while snubbing Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth. Are you kidding me? VKM is STILLLLLL holding a petty grudge against Randy, and he's dead. IMO all that does is cheapen the HOF and basically show it to be nothing more than a rich man's plaything rather than the legitimate honor that it deserves to be. Shame on Vince. Hats off to Sting – I hope he never bows to that egomaniac.
Its because Edge was inducted this year along with other big names, savage wouldnt of got the induction he deserves in this years HOF, savage will get a shawn michaels type induction, vince put savage in a wwe game which shows he isnt holding a grudge, vince aired a memorial to savage, if he had held a grudge that wouldnt of happened!!
However much I would LOVE to see Sting in the WWE, it ain't gonna happen The best chance WWE ever had of landing him was when they purchased WCW & it did not happen…….. I personally feel that he NEEDS to come to the WWE, not because of financial needs but to perform at the very highest level……. I know peeps are going to say there are high level workers in TNA (I agree) BUT the staging, atmosphere & huge exposure to a more main stream audience would cement his place in history & a deserved place in the HOF!!!!

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Many women who believe they are suffering from a common vaginal infection may actually be misdiagnosing themselves. A recent study reveals nearly three of every four women who think they have this infection are wrong.
Susan Hoffstetter, Ph.D., a women's health researcher from Saint Louis University School of Medicine, cautions against assuming the unpleasant symptoms associated with yeast infections are always caused by a yeast infection.
Dr. Hoffstetter and her colleagues report only about a quarter of women who were tested in her clinic for what the patients thought were yeast infections actually had the condition. The study is based on 150 women who came to the clinic seeking treatment for the condition.
While vaginal yeast infections are extremely common -- about three out of every four women will suffer from one of these infections at least once in her lifetime -- many other conditions can cause similar symptoms, and continuing to treat symptoms with over-the-counter medications can just make the situation worse, especially if the problem isn't really a yeast infection to begin with.
"If you treat yourself and it never goes away, you shouldn't continue to treat yourself," Dr. Hoffstetter was quoted as saying. "You're making a situation worse and you can get into cyclic episodes where you think you have a yeast infection all of the time."
Dr. Hoffstetter, who is a Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease, recommends making an appointment with your doctor or a women's health clinic for a thorough evaluation instead. That's the only way to tell whether the irritation and discharge are from a yeast infection or something else, like inflammation, dry skin tissues, or a sexually transmitted disease.

How to Use Banner to Help Students Find Viable Classes
John Uglietta
Frederick J. Antczak, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
"O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being.
At Homecoming last weekend, to the theme of "GVSU, you put a spell on me," several groups from CLAS including a couple from the dean's office, faculty, students, and our CLAS alumni chapter members hosted tables at the Expo to mingle with our young and young-at-heart alumni. I want to thank especially our featured disciplines Anthropology and Archaeology whose faculty ran fun and family-friendly activities.
In the last month, our faculty and students have made their marks in many ways—some quite glamorous. Our colleagues in Writing, Charley Lowe and Keith Rhodes had a series of briefings at the White House in their hats as board members of the Council of Writing Program Administrators (and wearing GVSU neckties!). Caitlin Horrocks (WRT) had her "Sun City" story included in the October 24 issue of the New Yorker. The 2011 Michigan Sociological Association Annual Meeting was hosted by Joe Verschave and colleagues in Sociology. Bard–to-Go is back from a trip to the Bahamas, and Karen Libman has been sharing some of the photos with us. Tim Penning, associate professor in the School of Communications, through a feat of blogging, motivated Ford Motor Company to bring the Focus Electric to campus last week. Five from CLAS (including yours truly and our own Courtney Sherwood) received Sustainability Champion honors; Art adjunct Christine Hornby took the prize at ArtWalk; Allison Metz, visiting assistant professor in theatre, with the ReACT troupe of student actors raised awareness of dating violence; and Rachel Powers and Matthew Hart of Chemistry were very proud when the American Chemical Society (ACS) student chapter at GVSU received a Commendable Award. And please join me in congratulating Patti Rowe (MOV) for being named Leader of the Year by the Michigan Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (MAHPERD) Board of Directors. We have an outstanding faculty!
November presents some special opportunities for faculty (and not just Thanksgiving break). In this issue of CLAS Acts you can find information on three opportunities to attend an Out of the Box event. These are a fall tradition that CLAS faculty governance designed to find creative solutions and come together to build resources for one another. We will also use our considerable collective expertise to help one another on the Monday of Thanksgiving week at our newest (and soon to be traditional) event—the second annual Teaching Roundtables. I'm frequently asked if attendance at these events should receive mention in your FAR—the answer is a definitive yes. I will look for it when I read them!
This month is an embarrassment of riches. The Ott Lecture will be of interest to lovers of science, Evolution for Everyone will be continuing a series of talks that will be of interest to the highly evolved, and Crimes of the Heart will interest all those who have one. Our CLAS Research Colloquium continues, and for those like me who can't get enough of our Laker Marching Band, Bandorama will feature highlights of the 2011 season.
In a semester as fast-paced as this one has seemed to me, you may have to remind yourself that while you can't do everything, you should embrace something among these treasures flying by. While it can be tempting to just collapse into the nearest pile of leaves, in the long run your soul is even better fed through the enjoyment of the arts and rich intellectual harvest laid out on our groaning board.
What the Deans Are Doing in November
"November keeps me busy," Fred reports. "There's the CLAS open brown bag with the deans, the Out of the Box sessions and the Board of Trustees meeting, as well as the University's breakfast honoring our students who are veterans. The Hauenstein Advisory Cabinet will meet, and then I'm off to the National Communication Association conference. Our Teaching Roundtables come up the Monday of Thanksgiving week. And I currently have 32 meetings scheduled with departments, individual faculty and students. Busy, but good busy."
Gary Stark will be monitoring Winter 2012 enrollments, reviewing schedules and staffing plans for 2012-13, facilitating the unit head review process, recruiting faculty for the Awards of Distinction Student Scholarship interviews, participating in our Second-Year Faculty Seminar, and attending the annual Council of Colleges of Arts & Sciences meeting.
AD Mary Schutten will be collaborating with the College of Education on a series of initiatives involving CLAS/COE related to student teaching, teacher tests, secondary admissions, and will participate in the PTEAC committee. She will continue to coordinate the submissions for the alignment process of units' existing strategic plan objectives with the CLAS strategic plan. She continues to implement and assess degree cognate substitution requests, support the work of the CLAS curriculum committee as ex officio;, facilitate the curricular fast track process for study abroad course designations, and serve as coordinator for the School Health Education minor for Movement Science. She will participate in the CLAS OOTB event, Teaching Roundtables, serve on the associate dean panel for the Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences (CCAS) as well as present on "Breaking Down Silos" as part of an associate dean panel at the CCAS annual meeting in Montreal.
AD Shaily Menon will continue tours of the facilities, meet with representatives from different departments, coordinate facilities improvements based on requests, and continue to work with a graduate assistant to collate college-wide data on strategic plans into a database. Following up on a successful first year faculty seminar on teaching excellence and personnel review, she will facilitate a second set of orientation sessions for new faculty on professional development and grants, and one for 2nd and 3rd year faculty on personnel portfolio review and integrative statements. She will also teach a graduate course on landscape ecology, conduct research with students, and attend a Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences meeting in Montreal.
Faculty feature
Doceo ergo sum—in the broadest possible sense
John Uglietta is the new chair of the Philosophy Department. He's aware that he is presiding over an enterprise that not everyone understands.
"The joke in the department is that at the Majors Fair, the answer to the question we are most frequently asked is, "No, Psychology is over there."
"We don't carry a lot of stuff," John admits. "No equipment, no lab coats." And he points out that even the books they read tend to be short—but difficult. And then you think.
This kind of thinking can be somewhat unfamiliar territory for students. In courses John teaches, such as ethics, he finds that particularly the younger students imagine that they will be learning some sort of standard against which they can judge others. Instead they find their teacher is not pulling answers from his back pocket and keeps guiding the discussion back to them. "The point is about yourself. Really good students read the material, but can struggle with conceptual imagination."
"Somebody like Galileo did thought experiments but didn't test all of them in the way a scientist would," John illustrates.
Of his classes and more generally, John notes that it can be risky to throw your beliefs up for challenge because you may not get all of them back. Do multiple concepts in fact cohere or just, as John phrases it, live near one another?
John cites Wilfred Sellars who held that "The aim of philosophy, abstractly formulated, is to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term" (Philosophy and the Scientific Image of Man).
Acknowledging that people's thinking tends toward either simplification or complication, he can count on lively classroom discussion on a topic such as recent attempts to pass constitutional amendments defining the beginning of life at conception. If one holds that there is such a thing as justifiable killing and that abortion is murder, how are the cases different? What if "life" predates conception? The teacher's role is to complicate.
Some of the sacred cows of contemporary pedagogy are also potential subjects for some productive complication. For instance, isn't "collaboration" a difficult idea in philosophy? Even if one sees one's work as transactional, is that truly collaboration? Is thought ultimately individual?
When asked about his own work, John observes that it is moved by what he is teaching. Sometimes it involves the Philosophy of Law (John has a JD as well as a PhD) in areas such as the differing views of justice defining the debate on affirmative action or the identity of groups. Sometimes he works in the areas of the Philosophy of Mind or Social and Political Philosophy.
On his recent sabbatical, John was working on what makes life meaningful. "Do we judge based on objective standards or is it purely individual?" This leads him into questions about everything from practical judgments based on economic matters and happiness to questions of what counts as self-interest.
"If there is a standard beyond the subjective it reconfigures what we mean by self-interest. We have things conceptually backwards. Think first about what is good and then what is good for us. In a meaningful life are we attracted to what is good?"
John imagines that in some disciplines teaching the intro course might be pretty far removed from the really interesting questions for the faculty teaching it (and then subjects that assumption to some scrutiny), but that in Philosophy the questions in an intro class are "pretty interesting."
"People have the basic conceptual maps from their lives to contribute to the discussion in many cases," John says and immediately tempers his own point: "Aristotle thought that it takes some life to be ethical, that we need to see more of the particulars."
He admits that it may be pretty hard to come up with something completely new in Philosophy given its long history, but looks at the goal differently. "The new thing you are going to get to is understanding, seeing the light. Plato reserves it for so few," John adds in his fair-minded, dialectical way. He seems optimistic about this project, Plato notwithstanding, and very likely to bring his students closer to seeing the light, too.

There's always a favorite book or toy. Maybe a souvenir from a trip you have taken so that he can talk about the trip itself?

Matthew's preschool class will begin doing show and tell next week. The teacher's rule is that the item has to correspond to the letter that they are working on that week (next week is M). Maybe choosing a letter will spark ideas?
Mom to M (2002) & M (2014)
Reichen's first will be his "yellow belt" from martial arts that he just got.
I am entertaining the Ukraine flag or his orange Yuchenko scarf and the fight of democracy in Ukraine...
I can't wait to see what other are doing...
I thought of you today jessica as I was in his "meet the teacher" and wondered a similiar question.
We met the teacher today too!! I almost cried on the way out I was so happy. His classroom is perfect, his teacher is perfect. I am so excited.
pack of kids ranging from age 1 to age 13
Our yellow belt is not in yet so we so far have done
Riechen's AWESOME camping vest, it has nooks and crannies and pockets to hold a compass, red flag (if you are lost), id...it is FUN!!!! and then he put on his pirate hat from our trip.
Just this past monday I had him take in this rain stick that I have made from a dead cactus in chile...it is HUGE but the sound is so pretty. I cringed with him taking it that something could go wrong and wanted to say "don't let anyone touch it"...but swallowed that and told him if anyone wanted to play with it they could just don't let it bang on the floor!!!!
I was hoping you had ideas that I coudl learn from.
I remember one show and tell as a child and I honestly took an EARTHWORM...I was obsessed with them as a young child and how they bounced up and down, I remember the night before playing with it at the dinner table :)
Not only does she have to bring something that starts with that week's letter, but we have to hide it in a bag or box and she provides "clues" for her buddies to guess what her share is.
mom 2 Katie 12/02/00
& Jack 04/16/02
My oldest did a birdsnest she found a few years ago, toys were pretty popular too ;)
We also did a macaw feather but that only works if you own one LOL :D
I know some kids in my girls classes over the years brought in live pets :o
An earthworm?!!! :)
My daughter has taken in a book, a talking doll (it speaks Chinese), mini album from a trip to Hongkong (specifically made for her to take to school), a little purse that she "made," a really neat folding cube toy thing--I can't really describe it. I can't remember what else she's taken. We usually scrounge around for something the night before or the morning of, so we're not all that inspired. We look for small-ish items that either have special meaning for her, are unusual, or that she's obsessed with for the moment. Sometimes, we do need to redirect her selections, but frankly, so long as she picks something by the time we need to leave, we usually let her choose whatever she wants.
Our neighbor girl across the street called and asked
my husband if she could borrow some antlers.
(My husband goes hunting quite frequently and he brings
home antlers that he finds.)
She had to bring the "Show-and-Tell" item to school
in a bag. Then she had to provide the class with 3 clues
about her item.

PMC fine silver clay is available in 3 versions, each with a different minimum firing temperature. The 3 versions, PMC3, PMC+ and PMC Flex represent innovations in manufacturing that allows for lower firing temperatures and shorter firing times. All of the PMC fine silver products are listed below.
The basic metal clay material is called "lump" form. It comes in a sealed foil packet and is ready to use. Lump form is used to roll slabs, snakes and to mold or sculpt objects. Lump form can be thinned with water and used as a paste.
Slip, also called Paste form, comes in a jar or loaded in a syringe. The paste form is fairly thin and is used like glue to paste wet or dry PMC objects in place, as a media for slip casting, for painting onto an object for a hollow form, and decoration. The syringe form is much stiffer than slip or paste. Metal clay syringe is used to extrude a thinner form of clay for decorating, setting stones, filling cracks, etc.
Paper form is a very thin sheet of clay that can be used to make bezels for objects to be set before or after firing, used for ring shanks, and folded like origami. Shapes can be cut out with punches and applied as decoration. It can also be laminated with water to make it thicker.
PMC Flex is the newest innovation in fine silver clay. It has been specifically formulated to provide the jewelry artist with an extended working time. Unlike other fine silver clays, PMC Flex does not completely harden at room temperature. This benefit makes it possible to create components for later projects or even resume working on pieces several days after starting them. Carving, sanding and refining PMC Flex can easily be done after drying the clay at 300F for 20 minutes. PMC Flex shrinks about 10-12% during firing. It can be fired in open air (no carbon required) and can be torch fired as well.
This product is 85% fine silver and 15% binder by weight. This variety shrinks 12-15% during firing. Note the firing times can be shortened dramatically from 2 hours to a minimum of 10 minutes.
This product is 90% fine silver and 10% binder by weight. This variety shrinks 10-12% during firing. The metal particles in this version are smaller than those in PMC+, which allows higher metal content and therefore less shrinkage. The firing duration can be as little as 2 minutes (torch fire).
This product is 75% fine silver and 25% binder by weight, and after firing, becomes .999 fine silver. This variety shrinks 25% during firing, which enhances its abilities to pick up the smallest of details in your creations. This clay has a great (long) working time and does not dry out too quickly. Great for pendants, beads, earrings etc., we do not recommend this metal clay for rings due to its high shrinkage rate.

Yonghoon ordered the Hot Stone Pot, it looked fantastic.
Here is a clear picture of his Hot Stone Pot. It was sizzling.
The Miso Soup was appetizing, the tofu was probably some of the best I have had with their soup.
My friend Hamza ordered their Bourbon Chicken. Looked pretty good.

Interview with Joseh Garcia whose newest show, ECHOES, makes a stop in the Bay Area on Saturday at Far Leaves Tea in Berkeley.
ECHOES is a really unusual solo show, using only your voice as both vocals and instrumentation.
This is perhaps the most [inspired] and creative concert I have done; in it I sing accompanied uniquely by my voice in vocal layers. The whole [of the] music that is created onstage is created with the help of a vocal processor so as I sing I can record what I'm singing and I can create loops that constitute the foundation, the layers that I can create on top of. The repertoire is basically Brazilian popular music, and also a few songs in english, including a Madonna song with a very unusual arrangement. The thing about this concert is that the arrangements are so different because it's just voice. People tell me that it's very mesmerizing. This concert is about singing and being curious about the encounter [between] technology and voice. Maybe that's the singing of the future - that we can discover layers of our voice, textures of our voice through the help of technology.
There's also a story behind ECHOES, which is the story of someone who is the sole survivor on the planet, so there's more drama to it than what's provided by the music alone.
There is. The concept of the show is human civilization as we know [it] had collapsed and there was one survivor on the whole planet. He's feeling alone, and with the hope that someone will hear him, he starts to emit sounds to the sky, to the night. What he hears back is only echoes of his voice. The first sentiment was loneliness but then he started to establish a relationship with the echoes and create songs with the echoes. He started to feel that he was not alone anymore; he found a place of resilience inside, and love - love for being with life, with the cosmos. It was not just him anymore; it was him with the universe.
Self-discovery through music is something I'm sure you visit in your other work, in sound healing. Also in your last show, Bicho Do Mato, it was a different story but self-discovery was still a theme within that story. In that case it was about someone who had gone out into the woods seeking to be alone and found a connection to himself again.
Very interesting that you reminded me of this other concert because, both of them, what is implied there is that in your deepest solitude, if you go inside yourself you're gonna discover the universe. You're not alone. You're gonna find a connection. That's what these two concerts have in common. There's this huge potential - if you're curious you start to awaken to the vastness of who you are. There's so much to explore and I think music is such a beautiful way to explore. The rhythm, the melody, gently guides us. When I create concerts I create music with that care, of people having gentle experiences. There's always the hope that, when they come to my concert, they're gonna get something valuable for them - maybe something deeper than they expected, maybe not, but something that they can stay with.
You mentioned that you'll be doing some Brazilian popular music, as well as some songs in english by other artists, but you'll also be doing some original material in ECHOES.
Yes. Some new songs that I haven't recorded yet, I'm presenting in this concert. A song in english called Nothing Wrong; the song is a message, a good reminder to myself. [During] a day when I was feeling that my inner critic was visiting me the inspiration of the song came to me - Nothing Wrong. I love this song and it seems people have really enjoyed it too, because it's good for us to remember that there's really nothing wrong in who we are. We are part of the whole, so there is a place for every little aspect of ourselves in the universe. That was the treasure of the song to me and I think to people who hear it.
It sounds like the tour's been going very well.
It has been received with openness and curiosity and appreciation, and that's really good because [the] creation of this concert was a joy for me. I always did concerts with a band or with guitar - with Bicho Do Mato - guitar and some pre-recorded material, but I've never done anything like this. This whole concert, for me, was a discovery too.
Joseh Garcia presents ECHOES on Saturday, April 19th at Far Leaves Tea in Berkeley. Show is at 7:30

The J. and E. Stevens Company of Cromwell, Connecticut was a very old company. They were making toy guns before most of the other companies were formed.
They made some very old cast iron models that were pre-World War IIsome were in the 19th Century! After World War II they started making die-cast Cap Guns just like everybody else. But they didn't have much innovation and besides, as you already know, the "Glory Days" of the Cap Gun Industry were getting ready to be over in the mid-sixties anyway. So the Stevens Company went the way of the "tumblin' tumbleweeds."

Rare Gang Buster Cast Iron Cap Guns
This gun was made by Stevens in 1935. It rates a three for rarity in Best's book. It is a single shot in pretty much mint condition. On top of all that, this one has a dummy hammer.
Thanks to Dave Klahn of The Ten Gallon Hat
Though this is not a really expensive Cap Gun, it is actually quite rare. There are hardly any Cap Guns with "Trigger" on them. This one was made around 1957 or so.
Thanks to John Coatney for this photo.
Stevens Sea Serpent Cap Gun from 1890
This Cap Gun is about as weird as it gets, but it's still a Cap Gun. From about 1890. It's 12 years older than my good friend Evie Wooten, who is 109 when I put this up (2011).

Stevens Big Chief
You don't see this Cap Gun very often, but I don't think it is that rare. It might just be an example of one produced late in the company's life and so people don't think about it much.

This is a Stevens Jumbo and it comes with an original holster.

This is a seldom-seen Stevens Cap Gun from the 1950's, and while not considered a very valuable gun, it is very ususual.

Stevens Repeater
Stevens Repeater Cast Iron Cap Gun, made in 1930. Cap Pistol is approximately 6-1/4 long. Gun has Stevens Repeater, Mammoth Cap and Made in U.S.A. stamped on the sides. This is an excellent example of this Cap Gun.

Here is the rarer chrome version in some nice photos from David Denton of The Antique Cowboy.
Stevens Hammerless Cap Gun
Here is a rare cast-iron Cap Gun from about 1892, according to Logan/Best, who give it a three star rarity rating. It is 7 1/4" in length, and multishot, double action, with a wheel of five separate triggers, and a breech having ports on either side where (perhaps) a string of caps may be pulled through. There is scroll and floral design on the hammer cover and body, and dragons with pointed tongues and tails on both sides of the grip. How's this for unusual?
From the collection of Frank Morrison
Stevens Cast-Iron Spit Fire
Well, there's a 2nd Cap Gun named Spit Fire. Although this came first, it has basically the same name as the little rifle by Nichols. This one is named after the famous British fighter plane during World War II.
Thanks to Doug Hamilton for these photos!

And here's what the box for that Spit Fire looked like.
Thanks to Doug Hamilton for these photos!
Stevens Pawnee Bill
You sometimes have to wonder, "How can a company makes so many guns that look alike?" Well, I guess the same would apply to airplanes. After all, most of them have the big wing in the front and the little wing in the tail. This Cap Gun was named for Maj. G. W. "PB" Lillie, western showman. They say that this little gun also comes in a gold finish. It is a cast-iron Cap Gun from 1940.
Thank you Ed Manes
My goodness, here IS the gold version. And not just one of them, but two of them. These are (again) from our friend Chuck Quinn's vast collection.
Here's the Pawnee Bill box, again from Chuck's vast collection.
Here is a cast-iron Scout Cap Gun from 1890. This is moderately rare and obviously in great shape.
Stevens 1938? Big Scout
Since this Cap Gun doesn't have the same ornate scrollwork as the one below, one would naturally assume that it came first. At least the usual trend was that fancier version always came later. You tell me.
Photos by Chuck Quinn
Stevens Big Scout and Box
Here is a cast-iron Big Scout from Tom Coates, but as you might be able to read, the box is for the gold finish gun. Another one of those variations on a theme. This highly scrolled gun is from 1940.
Thank you Tom Coates!

Wear pink! We've all seen the signs, and many of us have worn pink clothing and ribbons each October during Breast Cancer Awareness month. But dress in blue? What's that all about?
Last April,in a post here entitled, The One We Don't Like to Talk About, I announced that I was a one year colon cancer survivor. I'm now edging up on my two-year anniversary (and am currently remembering in vivid detail the horrid weeks leading up to my eventual diagnosis and surgery). So for me, this seems like the perfect time to focus attention once again on colon cancer, because this Friday is Dress in Blue Day, and March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month. Continue reading

How do locals react to requests from tourists?
When visiting another country, most tourists ask locals to take their pictures, ask for directions, or get advice on local cuisine, hotels, and popular destinations.
Cultural norms and environment (think small village versus a huge city) often dictate reactions by local residents. See this YouTube video to compare norms in Berlin, New York, Hong Kong, and Japan.
If you're visiting Disney World in Orlando, Fla., you'll probably get a friendlier accommodation than if you were in the middle of the financial district in super busy New York.
Destination: Okinawa
If you're a visitor in Okinawa, Japan, you'll probably get a warmer reaction to tourist requests. Locals pride themselves with their friendliness.
Okinawa consists a group of islands in southern Japan with a population of nearly 1.5 million. The capital, Naha, is located in the southern part of Okinawa Island. The region features diverse local dialects.
Visitors often participate in marine sports as the islands are surrounded by beautiful blue ocean. Okinawa also features old growth forests for tourists who like to go hiking and sightseeing on land.
"The Ryukyu culture flourished in 14th to 16th centuries when Okinawa was known as the 'Ryukyu Kingdom'," according to OkinawaStory.jp. Old traditions have been passed through the generations, and the local heritage is reflected in crafts, arts, food, and lifestyle.

I was there as well and it happened right in front of me. Just remember going nuts and doing heisman pose as that was going to be Seneca's signature play when he won. After that game we was talked about being in the lead to win it. Then the second half of the season came.
Damn, I was just a kid. Thanks for putting that into perspective haha

When the College Football Hall of Fame was in South Bend, we saw this play again on one of the kiosks there and they also had the voice of Pete Taylor. I think the HOF has moved to another city and have hoped they kept this play. I miss Pete. Would have loved to hear his reaction to the Okie State game.

Oh man. Freshman year... Good times, good game.
I was watching the game on television at a friend's apartment, and I distinctly remember shouting as Seneca approached the near sideline "You're going the wrong way!"
The sad part? Iowa State was ranked 8th in the nation that week. *sigh*

I was on the north hillside freezing and yelling throwwwww it!
That video sucks!
The entire stadium wanted him to throw that ball away, only Seneca knew where that play was going
John Walters is my hero
I was there man! NW hillside, so not the best view, but I can remember the whole south side rising and hearing the roar cascade through the stadium. Definitely gives me chills thinking about it.

Why is it necessary to have a C-section
Ken Slack, MD is an Obstetrician/Gynecologist at McKee Center for Women's Health in Loveland Colo., and Irene Sokolowski, MD is an Obstetrician/Gynecologist at OB/Gyn Associates in Loveland, Colo.
Question: Why is it necessary to have a C-section?
Answer: Nationwide one-in-three babies is born via cesarean
section. A C-section, or surgical delivery of a baby, can be planned
or may be needed after a woman has begun labor and complications
arise. Mothers-to-be should learn about cesarean delivery and why it is
sometimes needed.
A physician may plan a C-section delivery if he knows certain factors
exist that would make a vaginal birth risky. In this event, the obstetrician
and mother will select the delivery day after the mother is 39 weeks into
her pregnancy.
Reasons for planning a C-section include:
- The mother had a C-section before and is not a candidate for or
chooses not to have a vaginal birth after C-section
- The mother has had other uterine surgery
- The baby is in breech position or other mal-presentation
- The mother has a medical condition that could put the baby at risk in a vaginal delivery
- The baby has certain birth defects (such as hydrocephalus)
- The mother has problems with the placenta
- There are twins, triplets, etc.
Some C-sections are emergency deliveries performed after labor started and a complication has come up. Reasons an obstetrician may elect to do a C-section include:
- Labor has failed to progress
- The baby or mother is in distress
- The mother has a condition that could put the baby at risk
(herpes outbreak)
- Placental abruption (placenta separates from the uterine wall too soon) has occurred
All pregnancies and deliveries differ. A C-section is generally considered a safe procedure and has been used to save the lives of many women and babies. Work closely with your physician to decide what's best for you and your baby.

Not easy getting a GF meal here. Ordered a burger patty. Must have explained 14 different ways that I just wanted the meat. "No bun". "Just a meat patty on a plate". "I cannot eat gluten, so no bun". The woman kept reading back my order, "A cheese burger with no cheese", and I kept saying, "and NO BUN". What did I end up with? A burger on a bun. I told her I needed a NEW patty. Just a patty on a plate. She asked if she could just take the bun off of this one. I explained again that gluten makes me very sick, and I needed a new one. 20 minutes later I got my patty on a plate. Not worth the aggravation.

Suppose $X$ is a Banach space, $T\in B(X)$, satisfied the following condition.
- $\sup \Big\lVert\frac{1}{n}\sum \limits_{i=0}^{n-1}T^{i}\Big\rVert<\infty$
- $\frac{1}{n}\lVert T\rVert^{n}\rightarrow0$, as $n \rightarrow\infty$
For $x \in X$, take $x_{n}=\frac{1}{n} \sum\limits_{i=0}^{n-1}T^{i}x$. If there is a subquence $\{x_{n_{k}}\}$ which has a weak limit $x^{*}$(in the weak topology), prove that $x_{n} $ is convergent to $ x^{*}$, in the norm topology, and $Tx^{*}=x^{*}$
This can been seen as a generalization of the von Neumann Ergodic Theorem for Banach spaces.
Any advice and discussions will be appreciated.

With Australian rockers Taxiride, Sean needs cymbals that cut. Nothing compares with SABIAN. AAXs give me a brilliant, cutting sound while the HHX Evolution Crash is warm but cuts through loud rock music. Plus my cymbals take all the punishment I dish out; they're extremely durable, and that's really important when you're out on tour.

I get enough nagging from LinkedIn as it is
and I don't actually have an account
Social-network-for-biz-types LinkedIn has begun offering a Facebook-like feature that notifies a user when another member connected to their network views that person's profile, accepts an invitation or carries out other creepy stalking habits as is de rigueur in the Web2.0 world. The company said in a blog post that LinkedIn …
and I don't actually have an account
Yeah. I blacklisted them a while back. I've still got my account but despite ticking every 'do not contact me' box I could find I still got their stupid newsletter.
Almost all of the "LinkedIn" emails which arrive in my inbox are actually spam from elsewhere....but they look exactly like the genuine article. Beware!
I've never had an account yet they think they have the right to spam me. I've blacklisted their IP addresses.
Oh, what? That place? Didn't it used to be "Friends Reunited"?
I get Linkedin invites sometimes but otherwise only go near it when I'm bored or need to add a new skill - "cat wrangling" is the most recent... It's another site that doesn't really work that well without Javascript so I spend very little time there.
LinkedIn is magnificent. In our company, at least, it's by far the best place to find out who has what job, since nobody can be bothered to maintain the global directory. It's like we've accidentally outsourced it to the cloud...
"Friends Reunited"? Didn't that used to be four-something?
but been getting the 'person XYZ has looked at your profile bla bla," for ages, (I'd probably hazard years). Or is this a different type of stalking?
Paris - maybe?
I have personal experience of this. The way it works is this way...
1. Company hires "recruitment" agencies.
2. These agencies pose as "recruitment agencies" and advertise jobs (the job could be real or fake it does not matter)
3. The recruitment agency invites employees, from the company that hired it, to join their network.
4. Thats it! Now the recruitment agency gets all the activity details of the company's employees i.e. who else they are connecting with, what changes the employees have made to their profile, what comment they have made etc.
5. The recruitment agency then reports these details back to the company.
I may sound fiction, but this actually happened to me. I blacklisted lot of recruitment agencies who were involved in this activity. The recruitment agencies are one of the well known in UK and the company that is using this method to spy on its employees is one of the leaders in its field! Shameful, but true!
"Facebook-like feature that notifies a user when another member connected to their network views that person's profile"
You do know that this supposed feature only exists on Facebook in the spiel of con artists don't you?
Facebook already has a patent on this, and now California Court Hilarity will ensue.
Is this tied to the update of the LinkedIn app? Since upgrading, it's completely broken.
When did that "Like" button appear?
Of course people really in the know about professional networks don't use LinkedIn. They use the other genuinely influential network ...

It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.
-- Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)
The moment I saw this title and the telling crown of the first model's head, I felt the association of ideas to be impregnable. I'd have let it go with him, but I welcome the suggestion of the alternatives. But the phrase anticipates him, its assimilation frames him, and its implication welcomes him without reservation.
We love a blanc de blancs. Vignerons who produce them at their best are more than aware of the treasure they are manipulating. They do not think of it as superior, but they do think of it as an ideal. And it is. It is the most affectionately committed transformation of a grape on this earth, because grand cru chardonnay is so obviously so beautiful, so vigorously structured, so irradiating of its loveliness that any excess of trifling strikes one not as a miscalculation, but as a wound.
Thank god it can't be done except in France.
