URBANA, Ill. - During the last 30 years, childhood obesity has become an increasingly significant challenge for many families in the U.S. But the issue isn't a simple one—excessive weight gain is the result of many different factors interacting over time—and it's important for those working with issues around weight and family health to consider all the variables that are in play with this complex issue.
In a study recently published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, researchers at the University of Illinois have been looking at how emotional responsiveness can affect the feeding practices that parents use and how they relate to parents' emotions.
What are feeding practices?
Feeding practices are defined as the ways in which children are socialized around food, eating, and mealtimes. Healthy feeding practices include providing a variety of foods, establishing routines around eating, and responding to a child's cues of hunger or fullness. Unhealthy feeding practices, or non-responsive feeding, include pressuring children to eat and restricting the types or amount of food they have access to. Parents who use these unhealthy feeding practices may be increasing their child's risk for obesity over time.
The study explores how parents' emotional responsiveness and their use of certain feeding practices relate to child weight gain. Generally, supportive emotional responsiveness can have a positive effect on a child's ability to regulate their emotions. Lead researcher Jaclyn Saltzman, a doctoral student in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at the University of Illinois says, "A good example of this is when a child is panicky and can't sleep after watching something scary on TV. If a parent encourages a child to talk about their fear, comforts them, or does something fun with the child to distract them—those are supportive practices." But if a parent gets angry or feels upset themselves—because their child is upset—Saltzman says that would be considered unsupportive emotion responsiveness. It indicates that there might be something going on with the parent's ability to regulate his or her negative emotions.
Tied into this are parents' unhealthy eating behaviors. Binge eating—or eating past the point of fullness and to the point of distress—is related to poor emotion regulation. Binge eating may also negatively affect parents' emotional responsiveness to the child, because their capacity to regulate their own emotions effectively is compromised. Saltzman's research shows these unsupportive emotional responsiveness strategies lead to the use of unhealthy feeding practices, and to increased child weight gain over time.
To determine this, Saltzman's team studied approximately 250 moms and preschool-aged children at two stages: the first when children were 36 months and the second at 51 months old. At the first stage, mothers were asked about their height and weight, if they engaged in binge eating, the frequency of that eating behavior, their emotional responsiveness strategies, and the feeding practices they used. At the second stage, emotional responsiveness strategies and feeding practices were measured again for any changes over time. Additionally, height and weight were measured directly for children, and mothers' height and weight were self-reported.
Based on the data, Saltzman finds a link between maternal binge eating and the use of more unsupportive emotional responsiveness strategies. "Parents who binge eat are more likely to get upset when their kids are upset, because they're already at capacity trying to cope with their own negative emotions," says Saltzman. "It might be harder for them to try to respond by helping the child sift through their emotions and express themselves effectively, because they might be struggling with that skill already."
Those unsupportive emotional responsiveness strategies then lead to more unhealthy feeding practices, like pressuring a child to clean their plate. Or as Saltzman says, "Parents were then more likely to restrict children's access to types or amounts of food, and push their kids past the point of fullness. Saying things like 'One more bite, two more bites, or clean your plate.' They were also more likely to use food as a reward for desired behavior." After a prolonged period, these unhealthy feeding practices increased the risk for weight gain among children.
So what does this all mean for parents?
First, Saltzman stresses that parents shouldn't be blamed. "We don't want to use these results and say that parents are to blame for increased child weight," Saltzman points out. "We have to consider how parents' emotions are being brought to the table, especially for those parents who may be struggling with eating and emotion regulation themselves." Blaming parents for excessive weight gain in kids would only make it harder for them to regulate their emotions, their eating behavior, and how they feed their children.
One of the main takeaways from the study is that parents are people who need care too, just like their children. As Saltzman says, "We know that people who binge experience a lot of distress because of those binge eating behaviors, and so we think this emotional overload may bleed out into the parent-child relationship." Obesity prevention programs that focus only on children are leaving parents out of the equation, and may not be supporting them.
Saltzman's research further suggests that in order for parents to help their children develop healthy habits, parents have to be cared for as well. "To parents," Saltzman suggests. "I would say that, in order to care for your child, it's important to care for yourself. It's really hard to focus on your child during a meal if you're feeling overwhelmed around food or negative emotion." Parents who engage in binge eating or overeating might want to consider seeking help from a clinician who practices with attention toward developing healthy emotion regulation strategies.
"In the end," says Saltzman, "caring for parents' emotions is going to have a positive effect on children, and working with parents instead of blaming them is clearly where we need to go."

Corn and soybean storage
URBANA, Ill. – The current USDA projections indicate that U.S. corn and soybean supplies will be record large for the 2016-17 marketing year that begins on Sept.1. The corn supply (production, carryover stocks, and imports) is projected at 16.909 billion bushels, 1.512 billion bushels larger than last year's supply and 1.43 billion bushels larger than the record large supply of two years ago. The soybean supply is projected at 4.346 billion bushels, 201 million larger than the record supply of last year.
"These large supplies are on top of a record large wheat supply totaling 3.417 billion bushels, 500 million larger than last year's supply and 299 million larger than the record supply of 2012-13," says University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good. "Such large corn and soybean supplies might be expected to result in issues with handling and storing the 2016 harvest. In turn, potential storage constraints might point to a weak harvest time basis and large spreads (carry) in the futures market. This is certainly what has happened in the hard red winter wheat market."
Current basis in western Kansas is generally quoted around -$1.20 per bushel while the carry from September 2016 to May 2017 futures has been trading at about 50 cents per bushel, or about $0.056 per month. Average basis in the soft red winter wheat market in west southwest Illinois is stronger, at about -19 cents, but the September 2016 to May 2017 spread is nearly 54 cents, or 6 cents per month.
In contrast, Good says harvest bids for corn and soybeans generally reflect a relatively strong basis, although conditions vary a lot from region to region. At interior elevators in south central Illinois, current harvest time corn bids reflect an average basis of about -25 cents per bushel. That is slightly stronger than the basis at this time last year and about 10 cents stronger than that of two years ago. The carry from December 2016 to July 2017 futures is about 25 cents per bushels or only about $0.0325 per month. For soybeans, current harvest time bids in south central Illinois reflect an average basis of about -$0.245 per bushel. The basis is about 8 cents stronger than at this time last year and about 10 cents stronger than that of two years ago. The soybean futures market is mostly inverted, with the November 2016 to July 2017 carry at -6 cents per bushel.
"The relatively strong corn and soybean basis and small or negative carry in the futures market in the face of U.S. corn, soybean, and wheat supplies that exceed supplies of a year ago by more than 2.1 billion bushels is somewhat surprising," Good says.
Good offers the following explanations.
First, a stronger-than-expected basis may reflect the industry's good track record of handling large supplies with the use of temporary storage facilities for corn. With generally ample handling and interior storage facilities (permanent and temporary) the speed of harvest and transportation bottlenecks would be the major threats to the strong basis levels moving through harvest.
Second, relatively strong export demand may be supporting the basis and reducing the carry in the futures market. Weekly corn export inspections have been in the range of 45 to 50 million bushels over the past two months. In addition, unshipped sales for the current marketing year total 265 million bushels and outstanding sales for the 2016-17 marketing year are at 398 million bushels, compared to 222 million on the same date last year. Weekly soybean export inspections have been much larger than is typical for this time of year, ranging from 26 to 37 million bushels per week for the most recent five-week period. Unshipped sales for the current marketing year total 176 million bushels and outstanding sales for the 2016-17 marketing year are at 564 million bushels, compared to 384 million on the same date last year. The strong export pace primarily reflects the shortfall in the most recent South American harvest.
Third, the relatively small carry in the corn futures market and the inverse in the soybean futures market may reflect expectations of larger corn and soybean crops in South America next year, as such expectations might pressure deferred futures prices. The USDA projects combined corn production in Brazil and (mostly) Argentina in 2017 to be 790 million bushels (21 percent) larger than in 2016. Soybean production is projected to increase by 260 million bushels (5 percent).
"Average harvest time bids for soybeans in south central Illinois are near $9.90 per bushel, above the upper end of the range of the U.S. average farm price projected by USDA for the 2016-17 marketing year," Good says. "The relatively high price, strong basis, and inverted futures market discourages storage of the 2016 crop. For those who anticipate even higher prices, ownership in the form of futures or basis contracts is likely much less expensive than commercial storage, and may be less expensive than using existing on-farm facilities.
"For corn, average harvest time bids in south central Illinois are near $3.17 per bushel, near the mid-point of the range of the U.S. average farm price projected by USDA for the 2016-17 marketing year," Good says. "Modest harvest time bids and some positive carry in the corn market makes storage of the 2016 crop more attractive than storage of soybeans. For example, if the average basis in south central Illinois strengthens to about -10 cents by late spring 2017, as it has the past two years, the market is offering about 40 cents per bushel to store corn from harvest to late spring next year."
According to Good, with storage space limited in some areas this year, producers may not be able to store as much of the corn and soybean crop as desired. While basis levels and seasonal basis patterns vary from region to region, the corn market is offering a better opportunity for positive storage returns than is the soybean market.

Illinois alumnus stops in Champaign on history-making flight
URBANA, Ill. - University of Illinois alumnus Dr. Bo Zhang flew into Willard Airport on August 17, on his way to making aviation history. Zhang is performing China's first flight around the world in a propeller-driven aircraft. Although this trip has been made in similar aircraft more than 350 times, Zhang is China's first aviator to attempt the feat.
Zhang departed Beijing on August 7, and he will fly approximately 25,000 miles by way of 11 countries, making more than 30 stops along the way. Zhang's route includes the first-ever flight along the Silk Road, an ancient network of trade routes. Zhang said, "When I made my plan, I was aware of China's One Belt, One Road Initiative and its influence on the world's economy. In my plan I will retrace the ancient Silk Road, to fly over the five central Asian countries. In that way I can both experience the shock from the ancient civilization and witness the development and the changes along the new Silk Road."
Zhang was met at Willard Airport by scores of students, faculty, and alumni, as well as various Chinese and UI dignitaries, including President Timothy Killeen, President Emeritus Robert Easter, and Robert Hauser, Dean of the College of ACES. He will resume his flight on Thursday, and some of the next stops include welcoming activities in both Washington, D.C., and London. Zhang said he is approximately one-third of the way through his trip, which is expected to take two months.
Zhang received both his Master's and Ph.D. degrees in agricultural engineering from Illinois, and he is a former board member of the University of Illinois Alumni Association. In 2014, he became the first student to earn a private pilot certificate from Parkland College in Champaign; he completed the program in 58 days, a record for the University of Illinois Aviation Institute.
Make manure safety a priority after harvest
- Hydrogen sulfide and methane gasses from liquid/slurry stores can be lethal.
- Remember key safety rules before agitating and emptying manure stores
- Make sure new or inexperienced workers are trained in safety
Make manure safety a priority after harvest
URBANA, Ill. - With harvest around the corner, manure application follows, so it's a good time to remember manure safety, says Rich Gates, professor and Extension specialist at the University of Illinois. "Any liquid/slurry stores, when agitated, will release toxic hydrogen sulfide and methane gasses that can be lethal. This week, during agitation of a large manure storage tank in Wisconsin, a young farmer was killed from manure gas, along with 16 cows.
"Although this tragedy was truly an aberration, according to reports," says Gates, "it is important to remember the key safety rules when agitating and emptying manure stores. These rules include taking steps to promote adequate ventilation, removing workers and if possible animals, from buildings or nearby downwind structures, and starting the agitation slowly and watching for any harmful effects. Never enter an enclosed manure store without appropriate precautions, and be mindful that you can be overcome with a single breath if concentrations are high."
Gates notes that two fact sheets, "Safe Manure Removal Policies" and "Manure Storage Entering Procedures" are available free online from the National Pork Board and U of I Extension's ag safety website. He adds, "Don't forget the importance of ensuring that new or inexperienced workers are also trained in safety."
This Friday, August 19th, a free online webinar entitled "Manure Safety and Transport" is being hosted by the Livestock and Poultry Environmental (LPE) Learning Center, 1:30 pm CDT. To access the webinar, go to www.extension.org/58813 to download the speaker notes and connect to the virtual meeting. LPE has instructions for first time webinar participants at www.extension.org/8924. Attendance is free, and the sessions are recorded and can be viewed later.

Recycled leaves make inexpensive mulch
URBANA, Ill. – Rather than bagging or removing fallen leaves, University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator Rhonda Ferree suggests using them in your yard.
"The tree leaves that accumulate in and around your landscape represent a valuable natural resource that can be used to provide a good source of organic matter and nutrients for use in your landscape," Ferree says. "Leaves contain 50 to 80 percent of the nutrients a plant extracts from the soil and air during the season. Therefore, leaves should be managed and used rather than bagged or burned."
Ferree says adding a 2-inch layer of leaf mulch adds approximately 150 pounds of nitrogen, 20 pounds of phosphorus, and 65 pounds of potassium per acre. Due to natural soil buffering and breakdown in most soil types, leaf mulch also has no significant effect on soil pH. Even oak leaves, which are acid (4.5 to 4.7 pH) when fresh, break down to be neutral to slightly alkaline.
According to Ferree, there are four basic ways leaves can be managed and used in the landscape.
- A light covering of leaves can be mowed. Simply leave the shredded leaves in place on the lawn. This technique is most effective when a mulching mower is used. In fact, during times of light leaf drop or if there are only a few small trees in your landscape, this technique is probably the most efficient and easiest way to manage leaf accumulation.
- Mulching is a simple and effective way to recycle leaves and improve your landscape. Leaves can be used as a mulch in vegetable gardens, flower beds and around shrubs and trees. Leaves that have been mowed or run through some other type of shredder will decompose faster and are much more likely to remain in place than unshredded leaves. Unshredded leaves also tend to mat together, which can impede water and air infiltration. Ferree uses a chipper/shredder/vacuum to pick up her leaves, which she uses instead of purchased mulch in her landscape beds.
- Leaves can be collected and worked directly into garden and flowerbed soils. A 6- to- 8-inch layer of leaves tilled into a heavy, clay soil will improve aeration and drainage. The same amount tilled into a light, sandy soil, will improve water and nutrient-holding capacity. A recommended strategy for using leaves to improve soil in vegetable gardens and annual planting beds is to collect and work them into the soil during the fall. This allows sufficient time for the leaves to decompose prior to spring planting. Adding a little general purpose fertilizer to the soil after working in the leaves will hasten their decomposition.
- Try composting your leaves. Compost is a dark, crumbly, earth-smelling form of organic matter that has gone through a natural decomposition process. If you have a garden, lawn, trees, shrubs, or even planter boxes or houseplants, you have a use for compost. For additional information composting, visit the University of Illinois Extension website.
Ferree also recommends jumping in the pile of leaves "at least once."

I just switched from twenty ten to twenty eleven, and it no longer lists the author under posts. How can I correct this?
I want to know, too!
Did it. Didn't work.
Can you post single.php code here?
[code moderated - please read http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code for future posting of code]
Twenty Eleven does show the author in the 'posted on ..' line by default;
and it is in the html code of your front page; for example:
  by  Seth Segall
something in style.css must be hiding it;
this line:
.single-author .entry-meta .by-author {
display: none;
this is a (debatable) 'feature' of Twenty Eleven - not to show author info if the whole site is only posted by one author.
in your child theme's style.css, add:
.single-author .entry-meta .by-author {
display: inline;
if you don't have a child theme, edit style.css and either remove these lines or change from 'none' to 'inline';
it is really recommended to use a child theme of the (default) theme Twenty Eleven;
a: to avoid that the modifications are overwritten with the next upgrade of your wordpress version;
b: to have a 'fall-back' theme if you have any major problems with themes in your installation.
@alchymyth - thanks very much for that solution and explanation, worked perfectly. I'm new to WP and the 2011 theme. this helped a lot
This solution added the author name to the bottom of the post, but I'd like it at the top with the date. Any solution for that?
Editing the style.css file at approximately line 747 solves the issue where it says: .single-author .entry-meta .by-author
Delete the line that says - display: none;

please vote no on the proposed reverse split . This should not be needed . unless the company is indeed a farce this stock price should be a minimum of 10 times the price it is now. supposedly they have cash on hand equal to the market cap, so if the company is worried about the stock price they can buy back shares or announce a special dividend. reverse splits send the wrong message and i will sell all my holdings if this occurs. Dave
Sentiment: Strong Buy
They have until Jan 7, 2013 to meet Nasdaq requirement. The run seem to start now already w/ volumes and price going up, this can hit 1$ next wk w/ the momentum right now so no worries there. As i said, get in early for the earnings POP and RUN toward $1.70.
Price is too cheap for this company and many new buyers do some dd will see it.
Chinese management is very smart!. Chinese management's intention at this time is to go back to being a private company which is confirmed by the recent article within the last two weeks and you can read it for yourself. The company made no attempt to protect investor's interests. They want GPRC to be delisted and all of us investors will lose our shares and monies. They want to be delisted because management wants the company to be a private company again. How they are going to do it? they first will have the pumpers on this message board do their jobs to bring in new investors' monies. PPS will go up. They then are going to have their short sellers do their dirty jobs of shorting to keep GPRC under the $1 mark. Once the pps is up, their short sellers and day traders will race each other to short and make monies. This will cause GPRC pps to drop so fast and way below the $1 mark. This is a cheap way forChinese management to take back their company and start fresh as a private company without having to pay out for any investor's shares. If you think this is a long term investment company, you area dead wrong. If you think you can beat the other day traders and major short sellers shorting GPRC and make monies, good luck to you. New investors: do your dd and make a wise decision before investing in GPRC. This is short seller stock around earning time every quarter, and you will lose your monies if you are new and have not traded this security before. Message boards are full of pumpers and lack of facts which I have tried to present here. I have lost monies having listened to some of the pumpers on this message board.

Let me start by saying how excited I am for the final month and a half of baseball we have to look forward to battling it out with your Reds. What a good fight it will be. Phillips added so much needed spark to what could possibly be a fun rivalry down the stretch and over the next couple years.
With that said, the reason I joined the forum was to have some good dialogue with what seems for the most part, reasonable and educated fans. I have seen completely irrational homers here, but believe you me, we have plenty of those over on our forum at stltoday. I think it will be fun to have some competitive banter with fans from the other side.
Please feel free to bring your thoughts on which team had the edge down the stretch, your stance on the "brawl", anything baseball in general. Sorry for the rant all. Here is to some good dialogue. Go cArds

I would love to be able to have a printed version of my blog made each year. I found this great service, http://www.blurb.com , that does offer this at very reasonable rates. Only problem is, at the moment they aren't compatible with wordpress.org only wordpress.com. The email that I received from them when asking if I could use their service with a wordpress self hosted blog said this:
"Unfortunately, we only support wordpress.com and blogger.com and blogspot. We cannot support blogs that are run on personal servers. This is due to a complicated back door technical issue."
I am SURE that there is some programining genius on here that can figure out a work around to this. I don't know enough about this stuff to be able to do it myself. I'm wondering if using some kind of key or something to link to a wordpress.com account would work? I'm just babbling my thoughts and hope that maybe someone else might have some ideas? :)

Conscientious, knowledgable and progressive.
The office staff is snippy and doesn't know how to do their job. They regularly have the wrong info regarding your insurance and they overcharge the patient in a regular basis. After you haggle back and forth with them for months you have to threaten to sue and get your insurance involved to force them to pay you back what they owe. They also rarely if ever give your lab results and act like jerks when you call to inquire about them. The Dr's treat you like you're stupid if you turn down certain screenings or tell them how terrible their staff is. I had to leave. It was awful.
Dr Garner is very nice. He answers all of my questions
Dr. Garner has been my OBGYN for all 3 of my pregnancies and I suggest him to every new mom I meet. He is thorough, kind and has never kept me waiting for extended lengths of time. The quality of care is a 10!!
I had a wonderful experience. Dr. Garner listened and answered my questions
the best doctor in town
Dr. Garner was my primary OB for the birth of my first son. He is very thorough and always willing to answer questions and discuss different approaches. I was able to avoid a c-section because my baby was breech with Dr. Garner and Dr. Jamison's help. They recommended a version to flip my baby and it was successful. Unfortunately, my labor and delivery went too quickly for Dr. Garner to deliver my son, but the midwife was fantastic.
Dr. Garner seemed to be a good physician but the office staff was very unwelcoming and condescending.
Dr. Garner came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. I loved his demeanor. He has a relaxed way about him making it very easy to communicate, especially during the first visit with a new OBGYN....as we ladies know, not the most pleasant examination especially with a new doctor.
Dr. Garner goes above and beyond for his patients. Excellent physician and person!
I had two successful VBACs with Dr. Garner. I never felt rushed in my appointments. He always stayed until he had answered all of my questions and concerns. Despite not being on call for both of the deliveries, Dr. Garner came to the hospital in the wee hours of the morning, and stayed all day (doctors must be at the hospital through the entire labor for a vbac). He was always very professional, and I trusted his opinion through the entirety of both pregnancies and deliveries. I would recommend him to anyone!
I think Dr. Garner is wonderful! I am just a plain old uneventful yearly PAP patient - I have never had children nor will I. However, unlike many GYNs who rush through a patient like me - Dr. Garner ALWAYS has taken the time to thoroughly answer my questions.He is smart and caring and just has such a wonderful manner. How lucky am I to have the Chief of OB at SMH be available to give an annual exam to a regular patient like me.
Dr. Garner delivered my son 13 years ago and he was such a great doctor I searched high and low for him when I learned I was expecting again. I was quite disappointed to see he is now in Florida, but he's such a great doctor I decided to write this review just to say how great he is!
Dr. Garner is an excellent doctor - caring, patient, knowledgeable, and confident. He is a good listener who takes his time when attending to patients. He is married with three daughters, and I think he truly cares about women. Dr. Garner recently became the Chief OB/GYN at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, so I think that shows he is also well-respected in his field. He is one of the few doctors in the Sarasota area that offer the possibility of a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) because I believe he truly cares about positive birth experiences for women. Being a VBAC-friendly doctor shows that he is willing to give extra time and take a small risk in order to put his patients first. During the birth of my son, I appreciated Dr. Garner being so patient and caring. He really respected my wishes and âbirth plan.â I definitely recommend him to others! His new office is right next to the hospital, so that is nice for peace of mind. Even though it is a long drive for me, I will continue to see Dr. Garner for my annual gyn appointments since he is such a great doctor!
After replacing my OB I saw Dr Garner and went on to have him deliver my whopping 9lb8oz daughter. I will never forget that he came in during his vacation to deliver me because he knew how uncomfortable I was. If you think that is amazing, for two years he kept me as comfortable as possible while I suffered through "unknown" gynecological issues after a tubal ligation (nothing of which I would call normal...Id call it my body rebelled against a tubal). I ended up with a total abdominal hysterectomy just last month. This man came to see me EVERY DAY while I was in the hospital. For five days he came every morning, he talked to me... he smiled and told me I would be ok while I was in potentially the most excruciating pain of my life. And just when you think he couldnt get any better... He made sure he found out why I was so miserble for 2 years. He had pathology done and figured out that we did a good thing catching it and made a wise call. When you have a roof leak, you call the best roofer. When you have a sewer problem, you call the best septic person. When you have a plumbing problem, you want the best plumber. When you want the best baby/gyn experience, You call Garner. You cant get any better than the Chief of OBGYN of SMH!
Dr.Garner was my prenatal Dr when I moved into the Sarasota area in the spring of 2012. He is caring, listens, was always able to get me in on the same day if I was experiencing issues with my pregnancy and always made me feel at ease. My husband and I are moving while I am still pregnant, so I will miss Dr.Garner bringing our little boy into this world. I highly recommend him!
Although having several issues after what seemed was a very normal life up until now (gynecologically), he took the same care and concern as he did diagnosing a gynecological issue as he did during the prenatal period and delivery of my youngest child. Although skeptical at first, as a former patient of the doctor with whom he replaced in the office, I truly feel that he was everything...and MORE... of what I was told he would be.
Dr. Gardner is amazing. I came in with Placenta accreta - the placenta being fused with the uterine wall. The most common (and from what I understand, easiest) "fix" to this is a hysterectomy. However, Dr. Gardner instead surgically removed the placenta, saving my uterus. If not for him, I wouldn't have the option of whether or not to have another child. I really appreciate him taking this risk for me.
Dr. Garner is very caring, intelligent & professional. He speaks with me & explains things in a way that are easy to understand. He always is relaxed & answers questions, spends as much time as I need. He never seems rushed to get out of the room. He was propt to arrive for my emergency c-section in the middle of the night, and comforted me during a scary & intense experience. I could not ask for a better doctor.
I switched to Dr. Garner at 38 weeks pregnant from Dr. Cohen who was downright mean to me. Dr. Garner was caring and truly compassionate to me as a person. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to be in control of YOUR own birth becuase it really does matter.
Dr.Garner delivered my beautiful baby boy and cared about me as a person not a patient. He respected my views and wishes. Very accurate, polite staff, and he was very attentive and understanding to what was going on with my body. He tried his best to make sure my husband and I understood everything. He was also AMAZING at giving circumcisions! Dr. Garner and his staff are amazing as a team and I highly recommend them!
Best OB/GYN ever. Very caring people at this office. Doctor is very good and has great bedside manner. Compassionate. Would highly recommend.
When my first doctor (dr. cohen) never had time for me Dr. Garner took over. He was the best doctor for me and I HIGHLY recomend him!

Habitat and Ecology
Habitat and Ecology
The available quantitative evidence suggests that the fin whale is a catholic feeder, sometimes preying heavily on fish but mostly on crustaceans. In Icelandic catches, 96% contained krill only, 2.5% a mixture of krill and fish, and 1.6% fish only (Sigurjónsson and VÃkingsson 1997), while only one of 267 fin whales caught in the northeast Pacific off British Columbia, Canada, contained fish (Flinn et al. 2002), and over 99% of stomachs with food in the Antarctic contained krill (Kawamura 1994). On the other hand, Overholtz and Nicolas (1979) reported apparent feeding by fin whales on American sand lance (sand eel) Ammodytes americanus in the northwest Atlantic, and Mitchell (1975) found that capelin comprised 80-90% of prey in fin whales caught off Newfoundland. Capelin abundance is extremely variable over time, and Fin Whales may feed opportunistically on capelin in high-capelin years.

Six candidates had filed to run for mayor before noon and the city clerk is expecting many more filings over the next two weeks. The perceived front-runners were eliminated when the Nevada Supreme Court ruled that they couldn't run because they served their term limits.
University of Nevada Reno Political Science Professor Erik Herzig says, now the public will see the kind of race term limits was intended to produce.
"New faces, new ideas, new groups would have a chance to be better heard in an electoral arena, I would say the mayors race is showing some evidence of that."
Herzig says it is likely that there will be more money in the race. Political consultants in Reno say all those candidates will need support teams to win name recognition in the run up to the primary election in May.

The Obstacle is the Mind ~ Sri Ramana
The mind is the obstacle to Self-Realization.
Sri Ramana says that mind prevents us from seeing Reality as it is. Bhagavan was explaining to the devotees that for spiritual growth it was no use changing the environment or one's station in life. The obstacle was not external but the conditioned mind (See Talk 54 in "Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi").
Bhagavan said to the devotee, "Why do you think you are a grihasta (householder)? If you go out as a sanyasi (monk), a similar thought (that you are a sanyasi-monk) will haunt you. Whether you continue in the household, or renounce it and go to the forest, your mind haunts you." Bhagavan in Talk 54.
"Where psychology ends, there philosophy begins. This is experience; the mind is born; we see it; even without the mind we exist. There is everyone's experience to prove it." Bhagavan in Talk…

Thoughts Change But Not You ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi
Thoughts change but you remain always the same.
Sri Ramana Maharshi says in Talk 524 (Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi), "You must exist in order that you may think. You may think these thoughts or other thoughts. The thoughts change but not you. Let go the passing thoughts and hold on to the unchanging Self. The thoughts form your bondage. If they are given up, there is release. The bondage is not external."
Devotee says: But it is not easy to remain without thinking.
Sri Ramana replies: You need not cease thinking. Only think of the root of the thoughts; seek it and find it. The Self shines by itself. When that is found the thoughts cease of their own accord. That is freedom from bondage (Talk 524).
Bhagavan Ramana teaches that any thing that appears and disappears is not you. That which remains always, is you. The Advaitic system…

The Spiritual Secret Of Western Classical Music: By Alan Jacobs
Insightful article by Sri Alan Jacobs on "The Spiritual Secret Of Western Classical Music"
To a degree music is rooted in Nature, that is in bird song, the babbling brook, waves breaking on the sea shore, the rustle of leaves in trees, and certain animal sounds. In man, as part of nature there is the desire to dance and sing when happy.

Great article from yogini mystic writer Mira Prahbu currently living near the holy hill of Arunachala.
In the course of a fiery discussion on how so-called gurus milk unwary disciples of their money as well as precious intangibles, a friend mentioned that Papaji (a devotee of Ramana Maharshi who later became a guru in his own right) had bluntly prophesied that in the not-so-distant future, a lot of money would be made out of drugs, guns and satsangh.
Now drugs and guns have always been money-spinners for unscrupulous individuals who worship Mammon—but making money out of satsangh? And what does the word mean in the first place? Etymologically satsangh derives from two Sanskrit words: sat (ultimate truth) and sangha (the company of spiritual friends). It means a gathering of seekers whose primary interest is to awaken the divine within themselves—and who seek strength and support as they tread the tortuous yet amazing journey into inner space. Often gurus hold satsanghs for their followers, and today's…

It Is Only You
If with the mind, you look at the mind patiently, through the sorrows and tears, joys and laughter, the exaltation and humiliations, the lucky breaks and tragedies of your life, you will look through your mind.
You will find yourself as yourself as the very look itself.
And there will remain only this looking, this seeing, free from form.
it cannot be named. No one remains to name it. It is only you, in the pristine and ultimate nakedness of your being.
From Mira Prabhu on her spiritual journey. Mira Prabhu is a gifted writer, yogini mystic, residing near the holy mountain of Arunachala in India.
It was a gorgeous fall morning and I woke up deliriously happy in my new apartment. The past couple of months had been crazy with all sorts of pressures, but finally the move from Carroll Gardens to Brooklyn Heights came; since this was post-divorce and I was on my own, the task of moving, then settling in, took up every bit of my remaining energy.
Now Saturday had dawned and all the grueling work was done, so I was free to enjoy my beautiful apartment in the St. George Tower, with its view of the Promenade, and beyond it, the regal Statue of Liberty, telling me I had made it against all odds in the land of the brave and the free.

With both sides on the edge of a promotion, White's b7 is in need of attention; more so than Black's push for g2,
Draw? Thanking all in advance for inputs, analysis,
looks like. too bad 2. Nc5+ is met by Kb6 ...
thanks, had tethered on the possibility of f6's promotion,
Appreciate the variations from the diagram,
was comtemplating on:
1...Nxb7 2. f7 g2
In the starting position it's interesting if black does try g2. Mainline in bold near the bottom with diagram move. The last line is the one you ask about above this post with f2.
1...g2 2.b8=Q 2...g1=Q+ is wild. The computer says draw but there are chances to go wrong for both players, black has to be more accurate so white may try this double queening to get some practical winning chances. Instead white can promote with check.1...g2 2.b8=N+ Ka7 3.Bxg2 gxf6 4.Nxd7 Ka6 5.Nxf6 is a mate in 30 according to endgame tablebase, but this is likely very low practical chances for non-pro players as you only have 50 moves to mate.
So instead it's best for black to make a draw, which he can do pretty easily by taking twice on b7 and now white has an option. To take on g3 or push f7.
1...Nxb7 2.Bxb7+ Kxb7 3.Kxg3 gxf6 is an easy draw. White can instead push f7 but this only gives black chances.10...Nxb7 2.Bxb7+ Kxb7 3.f7 g2 4.f8=Q g1=Q+ should be a fairly simple draw but white is the one who has to prove it. (If black wins the knight, white can win the other g pawn and get a drawn queen and pawn endgame).
The position is draw.
@nyLselIn your blue line black can play 5...Qxc5.
The reason why I put 5...Qh2+ is to put the trap on f-file (skewer the king and queen)
It's not a timed game, there are no traps to fall for, it's analysis
Hi Waffles,
The g2 line is a win for Black: that much is assured,
1...g2 2. b8=Q [incorrect line]
1...g2 2. b8=N+ [correct line, White wins]
As for the Nxb7 line
1...Nxb7 2.Bxb7+ Kxb7 3.Kxg3 gxf6 is an easy draw [agreed]
1...Nxb7 2.Bxb7+ Kxb7 3.f7 g2 [interesting variant, thanks]
Thanks nylsel,
But the line provided:
1...Nxb7 2. Kxg3 [draws],
1...Nxb7 2. f7 g2 3. Nc5 Kb6?! [draws, yes?] should've been 3...Ka7 or Kb5 [this would favor Black's position],
action ? yes. But it's a draw.

Resource planning is one of the most important operational issues for many companies. This is especially crucial for telecommunications companies. Resource planning aims to provide a high quality of service to the customers while trying to keep the cost as low as possible. This is done by trying to utilize the available resources (workforce) as much as possible so that they can match the expected demand for services. Tactical resource planning looks at medium-term planning periods, i.e. weeks to months, and aims to establish coarse-grain resource deployments. This paper focuses on fuzzy based resource planning approach in British Telecom (BT). We will present a hierarchical based fuzzy logic system which calculates the compatibility between resources (technicians) and the allocated tasks, and then matches the most compatible tasks and technicians to each other. The proposed hierarchical fuzzy logic based system in an experimental setting was able to achieve very good results in comparison to the original system, where the proposed system was able to achieve 12.2% improvement in utilization, 34% increase in technician deployment ,10.8% decrement in travel time and 116.2% improvement in number of important tasks being completed. The proposed system is being incorporated in the workforce planning system in BT.

The number of editions this short English textbook has gone through suggests that it is a useful book to at least some members of the medical profession. As the title indicates, it is a synopsis of laboratory examinations in clinical medicine. A chapter is devoted to each subdivision (e. g., cerebrospinal fluid and hepatic function), and each chapter consists of a short discussion of basic physiology, followed by a list of the more important tests and the principal changes encountered in disease. The material presented is accurate and up to date, and it is well and simply written, an almost universal virtue of English textbooks. The only defect of this book is its brevity; it is too synoptic. Too much has been left out, and what is presented is given in too short a manner to make it effective. For example, 14 pages are devoted to the basal metabolic rate.

TV Ratings: Huge 'Resurrection' premiere leads ABC to surprising Sunday split
Fast National ratings for Sunday, March 9, 2014.
ABC's relentless promotion of the midseason drama "Resurrection" paid off in a surprisingly huge debut on Sunday night, combining with "Once Upon a Time" and a boosted "Revenge" to help the network win the night among young viewers.
"Resurrection" had the second-biggest overall premiere for any new drama this year, behind only CBS' preview airing of "Intelligence" out of "NCIS." That didn't work so well. It was the top midseason drama among young viewers since the 2012 launch of "Smash." That also didn't work so well. The key difference is that unlike those two premieres, "Resurrection" was effectively a self-starter, building dramatically on its lead-in.
Overall, CBS got a bounce-back performance from "The Amazing Race: All-Stars" and an hour-winning return from "The Mentalist" to win the night in total viewers.
Sunday's other major notable was FOX's premiere of "Cosmos." The Seth MacFarlane-produced update on Carl Sagan's classic space-centric miniseries launched simultaneously on 10 networks on Sunday and FOX is expected to have overall numbers in a couple hours. The on-network component did reasonably well and was FOX's top show overall, but it ran into the unexpected "Resurrection" buzzsaw in the 9 p.m. hour. The FOX portion of "Cosmos" did top "Resurrection" among men 18-34.
[UPDATE: The 10-network premiere numbers for "Cosmos" are in. Including FOX and the nine satellite airings, "Cosmos" averaged a 2.9 rating among adults 18-49 and drew 8.5 million viewers.]
All of these optimistic numbers bely the normal declines associated with the start of Daylight Savings Time, which reliably lowers primetime TV usage in its first week or two.
On to the numbers...
Among adults 18-49, ABC averaged a 2.2 rating for Sunday night, tops in the key demographic. FOX's 1.7 key demo rating was second, just ahead of the 1.6 key demo rating for CBS. NBC's 1.1 key demo rating finished fourth for the night.
Overall, though, CBS averaged 9.47 million viewers and a 6.0 rating/10 share for Sunday primetime, beating ABC's 7.66 million viewers and 4.6/8. NBC was third with 4.75 million viewers and a 3.1/4, topping the 4.095 million viewers and 2.4/4 for FOX.
7 p.m. - CBS started primetime in first with 10.61 million viewers and a 1.5 rating among adults 18-49 for "60 Minutes." NBC's "Dateline" was second with 4.7 million viewers and fourth with a 0.9 key demo rating. ABC's "Once Upon a Time" catch-up episode averaged 4.38 million viewers for third and a 1.2 key demo rating for second. FOX was fourth overall and third in the key demo with "Bob's Burgers" (2.12 million and a 0.9 key demo) and "The Simpsons" (2.65 million and a 1.2 key demo).
8 p.m. - "The Amazing Race: All-Stars" averaged 8.43 million viewers to win the 8 p.m. hour overall for CBS, coming in third with a 1.8 rating among adults 18-49. The return of "Once Upon a Time" averaged 7.27 million viewers and a 2.3 key demo rating, comfortably up from the show's December finale audience. NBC's "Dateline" rose to 6.3 million viewers for third and a 1.3 key demo rating in fourth. On FOX, episodes of "The Simpsons" (3.725 million and a 1.6 key demo) and "Family Guy" (4.49 million and a 2.2 key demo) finished fourth overall and second in the key demo.
9 p.m. - "Resurrection" stormed out of the gates with 13.31 million viewers and a 3.6 rating among adults 18-49 for ABC, ranking as Sunday's top show in both major measurements and in all female demos. ["Resurrection" grew at the half-hour in all measures.] CBS' "The Good Wife" was second with 8.91 million viewers and third with a 1.3 key demo rating. FOX's portion of the "Cosmos" launch averaged 5.79 million viewers for third and a 2.1 key demo rating for second, with full numbers coming in an hour or so. NBC's encore of "The Voice" averaged 3.92 million viewers and a 1.0 key demo rating for fourth.
10 p.m. - "The Mentalist" won the 10 p.m. hour overall for CBS with 9.94 million viewers, but finished second with a 1.6 rating among adults 18-49. ABC's "Revenge" was up from its last original airing with nearly 6.5 million viewers and an hour-winning 1.9 key demo rating. [A lot of that "Revenge" growth was "Resurrection"-boosted, with the 10:30 half-hour falling to 5.76 million viewers and a 1.6 key demo.] NBC's "The Voice" encore averaged 4.06 million viewers and a 1.1 key demo rating in third.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

Roberto Duran Advises Canelo To Maul Floyd Mayweather
By Miguel Rivera
Legendary boxer Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran has advised WBC/WBA 154-pound champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) to maul Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Duran told Nacion the proper stategy that he would use if he was going up against Mayweather, stating that most fighters make a huge error by always trying to land shots on Canelo's head.
"If I was going up against a boxer like that, I would bust him up. I would bust him all over the place...the arms, the ribs. The first thing you have to do is forget about the head. The head is smaller than the body. You have to break a man down, and in order to do so you're going to hit him in the kidneys and he'll slowly begin to stop [his movement] and after four rounds he will no longer be able to walk," Duran said.
that strategy is old school and goes back to legends of the game like Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Ray Robinson. Canelo has ALL the tools to do exactly that.... who's the idiot who says he does not. Guerrero went in…Comment by JoeKidd on 07-18-2013
Can't do if you don't have the tools Roberto! Floyd is going to stand there while Canelo takes 2 minutes to fire off 4 punches?Comment by PunchyPotorff on 07-18-2013

Submitted by: Fred and Sue on Oct 24, 2012We are the owners of Shadowpoint's The Citoris Gone (Tori). She is now 2 yr and 10 months and has excelled at field and trialing work. The youngest Shadowpoint dog to get her NAVHDA Utility title our female is also titled with CKC and WAC. (FD/FDJ and NRD). We cannot wait to see her first litter hit the ground running next spring. Super retriever on land and water with an excellent tracking capability, we enjoy hunting with her regularly. Thank you Bert and Marilyn for the genetics in this superb hunting Weim!!
Submitted by: April & J.R. Mallon - NorthLink Weimaraners on May 15, 2012Having trained with Bert and Marilyn and worked together on multiple litters, we can honestly say there is no other breeder in Canada as dedicated to producing true hunting Weimaraners as Shadowpoint. Their goal with every litter is to produce Weims that will be superior hunting companions, and who are healthy and will live a long happy life with their families. A fortunate by-product of this goal is that these Weims have what it takes to be successful in many field venues (and even non-field activities like skijoring!). You won't just get a pup from Shadowpoint, you'll get a lifetime of support and advice. We feel fortunate to consider them our mentors.
Submitted by: Jennifer & Jason Durocher on Mar 05, 2009We highly recommend Shadowpoint Weimaraners as an exceptional breeder with dogs of excellent health, temperament and hunting instinct. Initially, our goal was to find a reputable breeder that not only had these fundamentals obvious in their dogs but who also had a passion and vast knowledge of this versatile breed. Shadowpoint Weimaraners has far surpassed our expectations. Our pup Symon (whelped May 2008 of Baron/Mattie), has far surpassed our expectations as well. He is extremely biddable - obedient, compliant, instinctively intelligent, highly trainable, eager to please, very well mannered, focused with a personality all his own. Not even a year yet, Symon has excelled in obedience, field work, tracking and conformation. A notable mention, Symon has an affectionate and protective bond with our toddler and at the same time, a passion for the field. His temperament is impeccable both in the home and in the field. Bert and Marilyn have been a wealth of knowledge and encouragement throughout the training process of not only Symon, but with us as well as we prepare for our first hunting season. This year holds many goals for Symon. He will test for NA, FDJ and tracking. We eagerly await our second Shadowpoint pup due March 2009!
Submitted by: Cara and Chris Wehkamp on Feb 22, 2009I would highly recommend Shadowpoint Weimaraners to anyone looking for a Weimaraner bred from exceptional parents, with strong hunting and field-tested backgrounds. We are the privileged owners of Marvin, a 2007 pup sired by Storm. Bert and Marilyn eagerly invited us to visit with their dogs in the field to see them in action and from that first contact they have been a wealth of knowledge and support. Marvin has been a pleasure from the start. He is a great companion in the home and has excelled in his training in the field, obedience and agility. People often comment what a wonderful dog he is and what a great disposition he has. Last spring, Marvin and I completed the NAVHDA Natural Ability test with a Prize II (91), when he was 11 months of age. This was my first attempt at working with a field dog and Bert's training and patience has been outstanding, as I required much more assistance than Marvin. As Marvin turns two this summer, we will begin our Utility training and hope to embark on his career in the conformation ring. After getting to know Bert and Marilyn, I have come to the conclusion that they are breeding for quality and that they are dedicated to seeing Weimaraners maintain their hunting ability and excel in what they were meant to do.
Submitted by: Dave & Sheri Wolff on Feb 16, 2009We are the proud owners of a Shadowpoint weimaraner. "Faye" is just over 10 months old and is everything we expected and more! She is young but has shown great protential in the field she has shown a strong drive coupled with the grace and elegance of a future champion. She has been a great addition to our young family and with our old dog and has fit in seamlessly.
Bert & Marilyn are exceptional people who are willing share their knowledge and experience, we found them to be most help with our questions and we are most gracoius for their help in getting Faye ready this spring for her NA.
Their breedings and dogs have a proven track record on the field. Their dogs are sound mentally and physically they are exceptional " birdie" and show a great eagerness to work, be it in the thicketts or retieving across a pond they and are a pure enjoyment to watch.
If you are looking for a fantastic hunting companion or trialing dog or new best friend. I suggest you take a long look at a Shadowpoint Weimaraner.
Submitted by: Peter Ray on Feb 16, 2009Our experience with Shadowpoint has been amazing. We met Bert and Marilyn at a sportsman show where they were representing NAVHDA and we fell in love with both them and there dogs. We recieved our puppy, Briggs, later that year and it has been a life changing experience for all of us. Briggs came home with us already well socialized with other puppies and people too, his drive and desire to hunt is awesome, and Briggs has taught me more in the field than I will ever teach him. The support and encouragement from Bert and Marilyn is outstanding. They have done everything they possibly can to help us with field work and training, to health care and emergency situations. Anyone looking for a truly versatile hunting dog from a Kennel with a rich history in field work would do well to contact Shadowpoint Weimaraners.
