Opening Land to Renewable Energy Could Make Az 'Solar Capital'
The royalties and the competitive leasing of federal land worried Arthur Haubenstock, chairman of SEIA's utility-scale solar power division. He testified that large-scale solar is not mature enough for competitive bidding and payment of royalties, which could lead to a disincentive to innovate instead of the industry growth supporters envision.

North East's newest and largest housing group opens for business
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing
North East's newest and largest housing group opens for business
The North East's newest - and largest - housing group launched today.
Thirteen Group has officially started business after being formed by the merger of Fabrick Housing Group and Vela Group.
The group owns and manages more than 32,000 homes from an area spanning North Tyneside to York, will have a turnover of around £140 million a year, and is one of the 10 largest employers in the North East. It is also in the top 25 housing providers of its kind in the country.
Alison Thain, chief executive of the Thirteen Group, said: "We are thrilled to announce the beginning of Thirteen Group. Merging makes us a single, stronger organisationthat has the scale and collective expertise to do and achieve much more."
The new group will also include partner companies, Erimus Housing, Tees Valley Housing, Housing Hartlepool and Tristar Homes - who will remain as separate successful organisations in their own right.
Residents will not directly be affected; their landlord will continue to operate as usual - but with an improved quality and extent of services. Consultation, including with residents and other stakeholders, was carried out as part of the process.
The move means expertise, resources and costs can be shared, achieving savings without reducing services and allowing the landlords to focus on the needs of their tenants and neighbourhoods.
Plans are also being developed to create Thirteen Care and Support, a new housing support arm, bringing together the services of the supported housing team of Tees Valley Housing and Norcare, the specialist Tyneside-based charity which is currently part of Fabrick Housing Group.
Alison Thain added: "At the very heart of Thirteen is the knowledge that when we're willing to look at life differently we are able to create genuine opportunities. We pride ourselves on being passionate about what we do, because we believe making a difference is worth the time and energy it takes to achieve."

Jackson Prep staying on task
Jackson Prep Patriots not resting on laurels
Published 12:00 AM CDT Oct 31, 2012
Jackson Prep and Madison Ridgeland Academy faced each other in the season opening tilt of the 2012 season; Prep dominated that Friday night in a 38-7 win.

Oshie Gets Star Status in Sochi
Team USA's T.J. Oshie, the shootout star of Saturday's epic hockey game against Russia "isn't turning into Prince Charming" among all the public adoration, Oshie's teammate (and Sochi roomate) David Backes said Sunday.
Oshie has had to endure ribbing from his teammates over his new star status, Backes said. Especially when he returned to his Olympic Village quarters Saturday night still wearing makeup after appearing on NBC.
"Obviously you're going to get a little grief when the White House is tweeting about you," Backes said following Team USA's 5-1 victory over Slovenia.

MORGANTOWN - Three games into the season and poor tackling and the lack of a consistent rushing attack continue to haunt head coach Dana Holgorsen as he prepares to lead his No. 8 West Virginia University Mountaineers into Big 12 conference play this Saturday against the Baylor Bears.
"We are still young in the season, so there is plenty to work on," Holgorsen said following his team's 31-21 win over Maryland on Saturday. "We'll get back to work this week after watching tape on all three sides of the ball. But, there is plenty of room for improvement."
There were signs of improvement.
The punting game, which entered the contest with a horrific 14.5 yards per net punt, saw senior Corey Smith average 44.6 yards on his seven attempts with a long of 54 yards and placing two inside the Terrapins' 20.
WVU failed to turn over the ball compared to forcing three turnovers from the Terps -turning the first one into a 51-yard fumble return for a touchdown by junior linebacker Doug Rigg.
And, both the kickoff and punt coverage units performed better than they had in previous outings. The longest return of the day for Maryland (2-2) was an Albert Reid kickoff return that covered 28 yards.
There were just as many negatives.
First, the unavailability of senior Shawne Alston had a definite impact on the Mountaineers' running game. Sophomore Andrew Buie was not the answer and last year's leading rusher, Dustin Garrison, showed that he is no where close to the level he played at as a freshman.
That inability to field a running attack had a direct impact on the passing game. Senior quarterback Geno Smith was sacked twice for a loss of 16 yards, but was hurried, harassed and hit enough times that even wide open receivers became an adventure to find.
Granted Maryland's senior dominated defense, which came into the Terps' fourth game of the season, ranked No. 8 against the pass, had a lot to do with it and the strategy of blitzing on nearly every down proved to be effective against a team that became more and more one-dimensional as the game wore on.
Defensively, the Mountaineers had some bright spots -Rigg's fumble return for six points, Wes Tonkery's first career interception as a Mountaineer, five quarterback sacks and holding the Terrapins to a mere 46 rushing yards on 35 rushes.
But, poor tackling continues to haunt the unit.
"Overall, I think our kids played well," co-defensive coordinator Joe DeForest sad. "Without looking at the tape. I thought we tackled better except for that one occasion.
"The two scores they had was poor tackling. Other than that, I thought we executed the game plan."
A game plan that will have to change dramatically when West Virginia plays host to Baylor in the school's first-ever Big 12 game at noon on Saturday.
The Bears improved to 3-0 on the season with a 47-42 win over a Louisiana-Monroe on Friday night. Louisiana-Monroe was coming off an upset win over Arkansas.

Seawolves Fall Short Against Robert Morris, 23-20
Oct 4, 2003
Moon Township, Pa. - The Robert Morris University football team won its third straight game Saturday afternoon with a 23-20 victory over Stony Brook at Moon Stadium during Homecoming festivities. The win improves RMU's overall record to 4-1 on the 2003 campaign, including 2-1 in Northeast Conference action, while the Seawolves fell to 2-2 overall and 1-2 in the league. The victory pushes the Colonials into a tie for third place in the NEC with Sacred Heart, a 56-28 winner over Marist Saturday.
Robert Morris got on the board on the first play of the game, as junior Tyjuan Massey returned the opening kickoff a school record 94 yards for a touchdown to give the Colonials a quick lead. The extra point was blocked, however, and RMU owned a 6-0 advantage. The return by Massey eclipsed the return record of 93 yards, which was set by former Colonial Antoine Lee (1996-99) Oct. 18, 1997, at Towson State.
Stony Brook wasted no time answering to Massey's kickoff return, marching 75 yards on nine plays on its first offensive possession of the game to tie the score. Clinton Graham scored for the Seawolves on an 8-yard run with 11:08 for the equalizer, but the extra point attempt by Michael Soto was blocked, keeping the score at 6-6. Neither team seemed to find momentum offensively the rest of the first half, but the Colonials were able to enter the break with a 9-6 lead when freshman placekicker Nathan DiLorenzo hit a 45-yard field goal at the 7:20 mark of the second quarter.
Stony Brook scored on its first offensive possession after the break to
take a 13-9 lead, using a 7-play, 76-yard drive that ate up 2:43 off the
clock and was capped by a 9-yard touchdown run by quarterback T.J.
Moriarty. Graham rushed for 40 yards during the drive to help keep the
chains moving for the Seawolves. The Colonials responded on their next
possession, as sophomore quarterback Drew Geyer capped a 10-play, 63-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown plunge to
put RMU back on top, 16-13. Geyer twice completed passes on third down
during the drive to keep the ball moving for Robert Morris, including a
16-yard completion on 3rd-and-6 to sophomore Devin Wilson and a 12-yard completion to freshman Moises
Hernandez on 3rd-and-10. Senior Sam Dorsett also rushed for 39 yards during the drive.
The score remained 16-13 until late in the fourth quarter, when Stony Brook drove 56 yards on 10 plays to the Robert Morris 28-yard line. On 3rd-and-6, Moriarty tried to hit Khalfani Alleyne on a cross slant, but senior Vladimir St. Surin came up with a big defensive play with a pass deflection to set up 4th-and-6 for the Seawolves. Soto came on to try a 45-yard field goal, but it was blocked and the Colonials were able to recover on their own 31-yard line. Facing a 3rd-and-3 with 1:31 to play, Geyer dropped back for Robert Morris and hit Hernandez out of the backfield, who shook off a couple of tackles and raced 62 yards down the sideline to give the Colonials a 23-13 advantage with 1:19 to play.
Stony Brook wouldn't go away, however, as Moriarty engineered a 71-yard drive that was capped by a 42-yard touchdown pass to Londre Blocker with 29 seconds to go to pull the Seawolves within 23-20. SBU's ensuing onside kick, however, was recovered by senior Antonio Humphrey, allowing the Colonials to seal the victory.
Geyer finished his afternoon 14-of-22 passing for 221 yards and a touchdown, while Dorsett registered his third consecutive 100-yard rushing game with 102 yards on 20 carries. Massey, as well as his 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, caught three passes for 43 yards, while Wilson and Hernandez also finished with three catches on the afternoon. Moriarty finished 16-of-30 passing for 225 yards, a touchdown, and a pair of interceptions for Stony Brook, while Graham rushed for 107 yards on 21 carries.
Both defenses put together solid performances, as the Seawolves were led by linebacker Eddie Cobbinah, who finished with a game-high 16 tackles, including 3.5 sacks. Junior James Noel and senior Robb Butler each had 10 tackles for the Colonials, while junior Babafemi Odumeru finished with five tackles, including four solo, and two sacks.

We at MakeUseOf are determined to provide as much breadth in topics as possible so all of our readers' interests can be addressed. We have explained a handful of ways to easily join and split videos, PDFs (on a Mac even), spreadsheets and other files. If you follow our Sound Sunday feature where our Answers editor lists free and legal MP3s, or just simply own an MP3 player, chances are you might be interested in how to merge music files and/or split audio files as well.
There has been an article on what to use to split and merge audio tracks, but it was more geared for the Windows user. This list will feature a few more programs that Mac and Linux users can use as well.
So whether you're interested in removing the silent parts of an audio file, splitting audiobooks into more digestable parts, or you want to merge music files to create a long, no-skip playlist-like music file, the five time-saving tools we'll feature up next might just help you achieve this task quickly.
Use The Command Line To Join MP3s
Using the simple code below, you'll be able to join .mp3 files quickly and without additional programs.
(optional)cd C:\folder\with\mp3\files
(press Enter)copy /b file1.mp3 + file2.mp3 newfile.mp3
The new file will be created in the same folder (in this case,
) where the original file1 and file 2 are, unless you specify another directory. You could also use all the mp3s (using
) in one specific folder that you have switched to using the
(i.e. change directory) command:
copy /b *.mp3 newfile.mp3
You can replace
with something like
to include only files that start with the letter m. You'll notice that this method is incredibly fast but it loads the original audio data so the ID3 tags will be all over the place (e.g. the new file may list the artist data from file1, but different album information from file2).
For a workaround, download the open source Mp3Wrap (available for Windows and Linux) and Mp3Splt (which we discuss later in this article) which serve to join and separate files respectively, while retaining ID3 information.
Mac and Linux users can use the following in the Terminal:
cat file1.mp3 file2.mp3 > newfile.mp3
Merge Audio Tracks Easily With Shuang's Audio Joiner (Windows)
If you are more comfortable with GUI programs, there's Shuang's Audio Joiner which is a very intuitive mp3 file merger. Its small install file at 1.22MB (2.56MB once installed) makes it an attractive program to try on your Windows computer. You can join files with different extensions (.mp3, .wav and .wma) and export the joined file in any of these formats. You can also reorder the list of files effortlessly.
Should you be interested in other downloads, be sure to check out MergeMP3 and Meda MP3 Joiner.
Split Large MP3 Files With Mp3splt (Cross-Platform),
Available as a portable application, Mp3splt is an open source and cross-platform command line (but we'll use the GUI version) utility that offers advanced features. Once you download the Mp3splt-gtk version that comes with a GUI, you'll be able to set splitpoints at specific time frames, split the original file into equal parts, extract the original tracks from an entire MP3Wrap-joined album track, and even play the file to visualize areas to trim.
Use The Simple MP3-Trimming Tool, MP3Cut (Web-Based)
Trimming a single mp3 file couldn't be easier with Mp3cut. Just upload your file, select the portion of the song you want to save, hit the Download button and off you go!
The site comes with an eye-catching mp3 player and sliders across it so you can quickly choose an interval within the file to trim, which is useful if you don't know the exact splitpoints.
DIY: Split & Join MP3 Files To Your Liking With Windows Movie Maker
With Windows Movie Maker, you can import common audio files (such as .mp3, .wav, .wma), drag them to the timeline and use the Split/Trim functions. To join files, just place them right after the other in the Audio/Music timeline. Whatever's left on this timeline will be saved as a new .wma file after you hit Publish Movie.
If you don't mind the .wma file extension, you're all set; otherwise, use an mp3 converter, such as MediaConverter or another great alternative. This method doesn't restrict you in number of files you can join, and the timeline makes it very easy to use.
If you don't want this two-step process that involves converting to mp3, and aren't too keen on downloading too many applications, try Aviary's Myna, which is a web-based audio editor.
What do you use to edit your music tracks? Feel free to mention other ways to trim or merge music files!

Poverty rate among seniors rises under different Census Bureau measurement
The share of seniors living in poverty at least doubles in 12 states under the U.S. Census Bureau's "supplemental" poverty measure, according to an analysis released today by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
In Texas, the percentage of residents ages 65 and older with becomes below 200 percent of the poverty threshold is 47 percent under the supplemental measure, compared with the 36 percent under the Census Bureau's more commonly used "official" poverty barometer, according to the Kaiser foundation, a non-profit private foundation that studies health care issues.
The main reason is that the supplemental measure factors in health care expenses, and generally seniors have more of those than younger people.
"The study includes examples that show how a senior who is not classified as living in poverty under the official measure is considered to be living in poverty under the supplemental measure because of high out-of-pocket medical costs or because of high housing costs where they live."
Nationally, nearly half of all seniors live with incomes below 200 percent of the poverty level under the supplemental measure, compared to 34 percent under the official measure, according to the Kaiser study.
"The share of seniors with incomes below 200 percent of poverty is higher under the supplemental measure in every state than under the official measure," Kaiser said.
Traditionally, the Census Bureau has estimated poverty rates using the "official" poverty barometer, which was created in the early 1960s. Critics have said the official measure is outdated and doesn't accurately reflect individuals' incomes or financial resources.
In response, the Census Bureau released the supplemental poverty measure in 2011, which defines income and poverty differently than the official measure.

USA Today has released the 2013 preseason Coaches' Poll with the Texas Longhorns coming in at No. 15 for the second-straight season. The ranking is low for the Longhorns, and will not make Mack Brown's job any easier in a make-or-break campaign.
The ranking, which is the second-highest in the Big 12, is a far cry from Phil Steele's No. 4 projection from earlier this summer, and does not exactly reassure Longhorn fans desperate for a winning season.
However, it is still just the preseason and the Longhorns still have a lot going for them in spite of the poll taking them down a notch. With the talent and experience this team has, it would be a major surprise if they fail to make a mockery of this ranking.
But this is where the 'Horns will start from in 2013, and Mack Brown will be the one who takes the blame for it. The poll proves that his coaching is the team's biggest question mark, and that feeling will trickle down to the fans and the potential recruits he is trying to lure to Austin.
Those facts will make Brown's job more difficult than it already was going to be in 2013.

A Vermont man who works at a gold-buying store in the University Mall in South Burlington is facing charges he has been buying stolen gold and jewelry.
State Police say the charges against 38-year-old Prasad Durga Dhakal, of Winooski, followed an investigation that began after suspects in other thefts told police they were selling the stolen items at the "Cash for Gold" store in the mall.
Police say that on Thursday Durga Dhakal was seen buying an item known to be stolen.
He was issued a citation to appear in court at a later date.
Police say the penalty for a dealer knowingly purchasing stolen property is the same as stealing the property.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium's multidimensional approach on the reduction of ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients hospitalized in intensive care units.
Design: A prospective active surveillance before–after study. The study was divided into two phases. During phase 1, the infection control team at each intensive care unit conducted active prospective surveillance of ventilator-associated pneumonia by applying the definitions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Health Safety Network, and the methodology of International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium. During phase 2, the multidimensional approach for ventilator-associated pneumonia was implemented at each intensive care unit, in addition to the active surveillance.
Setting: Forty-four adult intensive care units in 38 hospitals, members of the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium, from 31 cities of the following 14 developing countries: Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, India, Lebanon, Macedonia, Mexico, Morocco, Panama, Peru, and Turkey.
Patients: A total of 55,507 adult patients admitted to 44 intensive care units in 38 hospitals.
Interventions: The International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium ventilator-associated pneumonia multidimensional approach included the following measures: 1) bundle of infection-control interventions; 2) education; 3) outcome surveillance; 4) process surveillance; 5) feedback of ventilator-associated pneumonia rates; and 6) performance feedback of infection-control practices.
Measurements: The ventilator-associated pneumonia rates obtained in phase 1 were compared with the rates obtained in phase 2. We performed a time-series analysis to analyze the impact of our intervention.
Main Result: During phase 1, we recorded 10,292 mechanical ventilator days, and during phase 2, with the implementation of the multidimensional approach, we recorded 127,374 mechanical ventilator days. The rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia was 22.0 per 1,000 mechanical ventilator days during phase 1, and 17.2 per 1,000 mechanical ventilator days during phase 2.The adjusted model of linear trend shows a 55.83% reduction in the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia at the end of the study period; that is, the ventilator-associated pneumonia rate was 55.83% lower than it was at the beginning of the study.
Conclusion: The implementation the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium multidimensional approach for ventilator-associated pneumonia was associated with a significant reduction in the ventilator-associated pneumonia rate in the adult intensive care units setting of developing countries.

Hearts and Mobiles
Last week, John Herlihy, Google's Chief of Sales, made a bold prediction:
"In three years time, desktops will be irrelevant."
Herlihy's argument was based on research indicating that, in Japan, more people now use smartphones for internet entertainment and research than desktops. It's hard to dispute that the long predicted "year of the smartphone" has arrived in the U.S., with iPhones, Blackberries and Android devices hitting record sales figures, and Apple's "magical" iPad leading a slue of mini-computing devices out of the gate.
We've noted Apple's belligerence in allowing applications on their mobile platform that don't pass a fairly restrictive and controversial screening process. It's disturbing that big corporations like Playboy get a pass from a broad "no nudity" policy on iPhone apps that a swimwear store doesn't. But it's more disturbing that competing technology providers, like Google and Opera, can't get their call routing and web browsing applications approved either. It's Apple's world, and iPhone owners have to live in it (or play dodgeball with each upgrade on their jailbroken devices). And now Microsoft has announced their intention to play the same game. Windows Mobile 7, their "from the ground up" rewrite of their mobile OS, will have an app store, and you will not be able to install applications from anywhere else.
iPhone adherents tell me that the consistency and stability of Apple's tightly-controlled platform is better than the potentially messy open platforms. You might get a virus. Or you might see nudity. And your experience will vary dramatically from phone to phone, as the telcos modify the user interface and sub in their own applications for the standard ones. There are plenty of industry experts defending Apple's policies.
What they don't crow about is the fact that, using the Apple and Microsoft devices, you are largely locked into DRM-only options for multimedia at their stores for buying digital content. They will make most of their smartphone profits on the media that they sell you (music, movies, ebooks), and they tightly control the the information and data flow, as well as the devices you play their content on. How comfortable are you with letting the major software manufacturers control not only what software you can install on your systems, but what kind of media is available to them, as well?
The latest reports on the iPad are that, in addition to not supporting Adobe's popular Flash format, Google's Picasa image management software won't work as well. If you keep your photos with Google, you'd better quickly get them to an Apple-friendly storage service like Apple's MobileMe or Flickr, and get ready to use iPhoto to manage them.
If your organization, has invested heavily in a vendor or product that Apple and/or Microsoft are crossing off their list, you face a dilemma. Can you just ignore the people using their popular products? Should you immediately redesign your Flash-heavy website with something that you hope Apple will continue to support? If your cause is controversial, are you going to be locked out of a strategic mobile market for advocacy and development because the nature of your work can't get past the company censors?
I'm nervous to see a major computing trend like mobile computing arise with such disregard for the open nature of the internet that the companies releasing these devices pioneered and grew up in. And I'm concerned that there will be repercussions to moving to a model where single vendors are competing to be one stop hardware, software and content providers. It's not likely that Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google or anyone else is really qualified to determine what each of us want and don't want to read, watch and listen to. And it's frightening to think that the future of our media consumption might be tied to their idiosyncratic and/or profit-driven choices.

Happy Mardi Gras New Orleans mommies! I posted here a while ago about the same questions, but now I am pregnant again and need some advice. I had my DS a year and half ago at EJ. I was induced 2weeks early bc of Pre-E. After 19 hrs of labor the Dr. decided to section bc of the baby's heart rate. It was a pretty bad experience considering that I wanted to go all natural. So now that I am pregnant again and due in August I am determined to try a natural VBAC this time. I switched Drs since and my new Dr. said she won't do it! She didn't even pull my records to see why I was sectioned or anything...just flat out no. So I did a little research online (you think I would have stopped here first) and I made an appointment with Dr. Jennifer Lapeyrolerie at Touro. My appt isn't for a few more weeks and I am so nervous that I am switching blind without meeting her first. Does anyone have any experience with her or her practice? It seems that Touro is natural friendly so at least that is a start. Does anyone have any advice on VBACs in this city? Should I get a doula? I noticed that Kimmee is one? How much on average does a doula charge? I am so nervous, I really want this to work out. Any advice would be appreciated!!!!
Touro, VBACs and Midwives..advice please!
Hey and welcome!!! I'm due in August too!!!
I see Dr. Von Almen and LOVE him. He is also with Touro. I did go through Touro instead of EJ (and DH works at EJ) because I've heard the are natural childbirth friendly.
I'm back and forth with the a doula but will be checking into it more. There is a baby expo in April and you will be able to meet doulas and take to people from Touro to ask questions.
Married to DH 02 & SAH,CDing,BWing,BW,EBFing,non-circ,vaxing Mom to Lillian&Julieann 6/26/08 & Sebastian 8/21/10(.)(.) GOLD!!!
Hi there!
I can't offer any advice on Touro, as I live on the Northshore... but you should definitely PAN to Kimmee if you're interested in learning more about doulas. I'm sure she could either help you herself, or at least point you in the right direction, for sure. Wow, sorry your new Dr. is not being at all understanding of your desire for a VBAC... I hope you're able to find someone who listens to you. I wouldn't trade my OB/GYN for anything in the world! He's very understanding, and I firmly believe you should be able to have a Dr. who's on your side. GL!
I hope you get your VBAC!!
Ali, peaceful parent� to Olive�breastfed and respected.
It is our choices that show what we really are, far more than our abilities. -Dumbledore
Thanks so much for the comments! I will be on the look out for information on the baby expo and drag DH there! I feel like I am finally on the right track here..just wish I would have had a different Dr for my first pregnancy. For some reason I assumed that New Orleans just wasn't one of the those cities that had resources for natural births and vbacs. Oh well, you live and you learn.
Touro is GREAT - all the things on my birth plan were already part of how they normally function. You can get a tour - just call the Birthing Center & they'll show you around & answer your questions.
Dr. Lapeyrolerie is also GREAT - she is my doc & delivered my baby girl last June (first pregnancy). Totally natural birth, no meds or anything, went very smoothly. (But I did accept some post-birth local anesthesia for stiches and post-birth meds to help uterus contract). I think Dr. Lap strikes a good balance of being very supportive of natural births and avoiding unnecessary interventions, but at the same time expecting the patient to respect her professional opinion if an intervention becomes neccessary for the health of momma or baby. Also, she will take the time to answer all of your questions.
I didn't use a doula, but did find it helpful to educate myself on the stages of labor, techniques to put up with the pain, etc. I took a Bradley method class, which was helpful but very time consuming.
Hi hi!
Touro is amazing and very receptive to client wants, needs and natural birth plans. Dr. von Almen II, Lapeyrolerie and Dr. Waters are three of the BEST doctors for natural births! Dr. von Almen is one of my favourites. He took care of my mother when she was pregnant with me and has delivered my siblings and my cousins all as natural births. He is not quick to section- even when my Aunt asked for a Cesarean he told her he would much rather her give herself a chance. When she began passing clots during labor (a sign of placenta previa) he finally agreed to a cesarean. Jennifer Lapeyrolerie is like a midwife in disguise!
Touro is definitely the best hospital to deliver in if you're having plans for a natural birth and especially a VBAC. In my experience, the other area hospitals are not as receptive and you have to fight to get your way.
Doulas charge differently depending on the area, travel, how busy they are and the services they offer. A friend of mine charges $800, another friend charges $750. I aim to stay below and charge $500 usually, but since the economy shift I added a $100 discount to my services because so many women were e-mailing and calling asking if I had any good discounts. (I offer special discounts for military families, single moms and teenaged mothers as well and work payment plans for everyone because I know how hard money is for everyone... especially right now).
A Doula is definitely a personal choice. It always kind of irritates me when people say "That's what the husband is for!" Husbands (in my experience) have a tendency to panic (lol) or they lose the plan and just go along with what the professionals say. They really appreciate having someone there who is going to explain things to them on their level and not BS them. On the plus side, at Touro they are much more open and less pushy, thus hubby is less likely to lose the plan. Doulas offer emotional and physical support for BOTH parents, we also make sure that everyone "sticks to the plan" and that everyone is comfortable, prepared, and informed of their options and legal rights. Hubbys also really seem to enjoy how I keep them involved. Instead of me massaging the Mom, I can show hubby how to do it so that he is the one involved and offering the pain relief. It really boosts their confidence. Our job is to make sure you get as close as you possibly can to your ideal birthing experience if not exactly the way you want it. =)
NOLAMA - The Nurse Midwives who are down the street from Touro are both nice ladies... but they tend to be a little medicalized (They are both CNMs- Nurse Midwives- and most CNMs generally learn and deliver in hospital settings and have to work under doctor and hospital regulations). I've had three clients so far complain about the practice (saying they may as well have just gone to a regular OB) because they didn't realize there is a difference in the types of midwives. The type of birth you want is the type of midwife you go to. If you choose in the future to go ahead with a homebirth, try to look for LMs, CPMs or DEMs instead of CNMs.

You guys are great, I am so hopeful I could cry! Kimmee, I am going to e-mail you through your website with some questions...not like I have anything else to do the Friday night before Mardi Gras :) It's too cold outside!!
Hey if you don't mind me asking...
What is your name?
Any way if you want KMP and we can go check out the birth center together. We could also go to the classes at the same time too. It would be so nice to have someone around going through the same things. I had a friend that was due 10 days before me but she had a m/c at 8 weeks. :(
My next appt is in 2 weeks I was going to ask about the classes offered at Touro, and which one would be best for me.

Hey Amy!
My name is Melissa. I would love to check out the birth center together. I have been trying to figure out the best time to drag DH over there...so he will appreciate not having to go. I wasn't sure if I was going to do any classes this time around, depends of what kind they offer. My appointment is I think March 3. Let me know when the best time to check it out would be. I am a SAHM so I'm pretty open. By the way, what is KMP? I'm pretty clueless with online acronyms!
KMP = Keep Me Posted. =)

Derbyshire makes a big splash at Olympiacos
The Blackburn Rovers misfit who swapped Lancashire for Athens is helping the Greek side towards a league and cup double
Ian Rush denies he ever complained that "Italy was like another country" during his short spell with Juventus, but the quote stuck. Though there are honourable exceptions - John Charles, Kevin Keegan, Gary Lineker and David Beckham among them - British footballers don't tend to do too well in foreign leagues.
Now, however, England Under-21 international Matt Derbyshire is making a name for himself in Athens with Olympiacos. Shunted out on loan from Blackburn Rovers in January, the striker has taken to life in Greece with some aplomb, even with the added pressure of having to father one-year-old twins in a country where he doesn't speak the language.
His first goal was an extra-time winner in a fraught cup quarter final against PAOK Salonika, Olympiacos's fierce inter-city rivals and he has since scored five goals in seven league games, helping the club to win its twelfth league title of the last 13 years.
"I knew Olympiacos were a big club," Derbyshire told the Daily Mail. "I knew they'd played in the Champions League and had big players like Rivaldo in the past but I suppose I didn't realise quite how big until my first day, with all the media attention at the airport.
"People were coming up to me to tell me what it meant to play for the club. They've got so much passion. They told me to wear lots of red and never wear green because that's the colour of their rivals Panathinaikos."
This weekend, Derbyshire has the chance to help add another trophy in the final of the Hellenic Cup against AEK Athens. Though he still has three years left on his Blackburn contract, he hasn't ruled out staying in Greece.
There are a few other British players currently plying their trade abroad: Colin Kazim-Richards, from Walthamstow, moved to Fenerbahce from Sheffield Utd and played for Turkey in Euro 2008. Steve Finnan moved to Espanyol on transfer deadline day at the start of this season, but has barely made any appearances since he picked up a back injury. Darren Huckerby, now verging on retirement, was voted the MLS Newcomer of 2008 after moving to the San Jose Earthquakes. Gifton Noel-Williams, a striker who used to score occasional goals for Watford and Stoke, briefly helped Real Murcia to promotion in La Liga in 2007 and now plays in Austin, Texas. And Tyrone Mears escaped from Derby after they were relegated and has spent the season with Marseille.

Imagine getting the news that your child needs a liver transplant... at just 5 years old.
And now imagine your child's liver is failing again, and he'll need another transplant.
The only thing that 12-year-old James Brown, III wants to do is play football, but he has a serious health issue that's in his way.
Now, he's hoping for a miracle.
"My liver transplant so I don't have to worry about no more," said Brown.
At the age of 5, doctors told them he would need a new liver.
They went through the procedures, and a few years later, they're having to go through it all over again.
"It's seven years now so now he has to have another one done because his arteries are gone, he had a blockage," said Shamika Brown-Clark, James's mother.
Because of Brown's clogged liver bile ducts, he wears tubing attached to his stomach that has to be flushed out every month by his doctors in Atlanta.
His mother is not able to work because of the rigorous travel schedule that is required for his care.
They're now asking for support from the community.
Brown's dad works at Maryland Friend Chicken, just one of the locations in Thomasville that is collecting funds for the family.
"He's ready to get his surgery over with because he's like dad I'm in pain I'm ready to gone on and get my surgery over with he said they tube was starting to hurt," said James Brown, Jr., James's dad.
The family also has accounts set up in Brown's name at Suntrust Bank and Commercial Bank, where folks can donate money to help with the family's bills and medical costs.
"I feel like I'm too young to be getting this....too many surgeries," said James.
The family says they are now approved by Medicaid to be on the liver transplant list.
They're anxiously waiting for news of a match.
James's next check-up is on June 18, 2014 in Atlanta.

Dallas businessman Tom Hicks' 25-acre estate is for sale
Update at 5:05 pm: Just got off the phone with Lisa LeMaster, a spokeswoman for Tom Hicks, who said the Hicks estate now uses a well system and holding pond to water its landscape. The well system, which they began using sometime last year, is independent from Dallas' water supply.
She also sent a letter, written by real estate agent Douglas Newby, who explains why Tom and Cinda Hicks have decided to place their Dallas home on the market.
"After raising six children, the Hicks recently became empty nesters and have decided to place their Dallas home on the market," the letter reads. "They are looking forward to spending more time at their home on the beach in La Jolla and creating another refined home in Dallas."
Original item posted at 4:28 pm: Maybe he just got tired of paying the water bill. Whatever the reason, one of Dallas' priciest homes — the 25-acre Preston Hollow estate of Dallas businessman Tom Hicks and his wife, Cinda — is on the market.
The Crespi Estate is listed for sale by real estate agent Douglas Newby & Associates. And the asking price will be a whopping $135 million, according to real estate blogger Candy Evans.
Built in the late 1930s and located near Walnut Hill and Dallas North Tollway, the gigantic estate is described as "a green oasis in a the middle of a large city," with a vegetable garden, rose garden, manicured lawns and ponds, according to the real estate website. Along with main residence, it includes a two-story guest house, a three-story pool house and tennis court. It also boasts a prominent neighbor, President George W. Bush.
The home has a storied past. Prior to Hicks' ownership, it hosted a reception honoring actor Jimmy Stewart and for President Ronald Reagan when he came to Dallas during his presidential campaign.
But the downside of all those acres? Lots of landscaping fees. Hicks regularly tops the list as a Dallas water user. He used over 12 million gallons in 2011, according to the city of Dallas.

A Quote by Robert Collier on competition, defeat, desires, and kindness
Something must be done when you find an opposing set of desires of this kind well to the fore in your category of strong desires. You must set in operation a process of competition, from which one must emerge a victor and the other set be defeated.

THIBODAUX — Lafourche sheriff's deputies are searching for the suspect in an alleged rape in Raceland this morning.
The 30-year-old alleged victim told deputies she was walking home on La. 182 around 4:30 a.m., when a man, who identified himself as Jerome asked if he could walk with her, Lafourche Sheriff's Office Sgt. Lesley Hill said. The alleged victim was walking from a residence on Morristown Road.
According to the alleged victim, she and the man talked briefly, before he overpowered her and raped her.
The suspect is described as a skinny man who stood 6-feet tall, had short black hair and wore a T-shirt, black denim jeans and tennis shoes.
The suspect ran towards Raceland on La. 182 following the alleged attack, the woman told deputies.
The Lafourche Sheriff's Office asks you to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-743-7433 if you know the whereabouts of the alleged suspect in this case. You don't have to provide your name and you could be eligible for up to $1,000 in cash.

With so much focus on Sora no Otoshimono's curvier Angeloids, it's easy to overlook little Nymph. She just might be my favorite, though, particularly with that bright blue hair I love so very much. Her story happens to be ridiculously depressing, so I'm glad to see her getting some proper attention thanks to Kotobukiya!
While the choice of outfit may be a bit much for some, it's certainly several factors more modest than some figures we've seen of Astraea in particular. I'm definitely a fan, and I like seeing her in basically the standard Angeloid getup rather than something unrelated. I'd have liked to see her wings in their more butterfly-style shape, but the fact they're even included is also a nice touch.
Of course, you're not just getting Nymph! Included are two chibi versions of the aforementioned Astraea, with Ikaros as well. They both come with common accessories, such as watermelon and Astraea's weapons, and even allow for a modicum of poseability in their necks. Certainly a nice bonus when you also factor in this set won't break the bank, setting you back only around ¥6,940 when it arrives in January.

Tender is the Night
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Tender is the Night Love Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
Nicole kept in touch with Dick after her new marriage; there were letters on business matters, and about the children. When she said, as she often did, "I loved Dick and I'll never forget him," Tommy answered, 'Of course not – why should you?'
Interesting that Nicole uses loved here, the past tense of the world. This could mean a variety of things. She could be saying that she used to, but no longer loves Dick. Or she could simply be stating that she really did love him before, without commenting on her present feelings for him. Do we have other evidence in the text that might help us sort out what she means?

Everyone's favorite movie and TV streaming service on Android just received a rather sizable update this afternoon that should make a few users happy. While the entire streaming quality debate is still a hot topic for Netflix, they've just updated the app with improved features and a few bug fixes. Read on to see what's new in the latest Netflix for Android.
Back in December Netflix got the go-ahead to add social features and sharing into their service, but we've yet to see that feature actually arrive. It's slated for sometime in 2013, so we'll see. That isn't here yet, but you'll want to check out what's new today from their latest upgrade.
This is also the first update since September when Netflix redesigned the UI to better support both Android smartphones and tablets. Today Netflix is pushing and update out for Android, and here's what is new. You'll get the option to increase the font size for subtitles, something I'm sure many will be happy to see. They've enhanced second screen support, improved playback stability (we hear that every time) and lastly, miscellaneous bug fixes.
It isn't anything major but we'll take the small changes, improvements, and performance tweaks as we get them. Netflix video playback still could be improved on Android if you ask us, but we regress. So we must ask. Do you use Netflix, or have you switched to Redbox Instant or some of those other options available?
