In the preceding four papers of this series, we have presented evidence from four different hospital newborn services, which substantiates several hypotheses: (1) the presence of one particular strain of Staphylococcus aureus may interfere with the subsequent acquisition of another staphylococcal strain; (2) this phenomenon can be utilized to protect an infant against infection and disease caused by the so-called epidemic phage types; and (3) certain staphylococcal types are more pathogenic to infants than others.1-4
These studies were carried out in hospitals which cared for different population groups and engaged in a variety of nursery practices. The epidemiology of infectious disease in general is complex and perhaps even undefinable when several mutually independent factors operate simultaneously. It is thus

Almost thirty years ago Harry Peterson-Nedry began scouting potential vineyard locations in Oregon's burgeoning wine country. He soon discovered what's now called Ribbon Ridge, an ancient, uniform sedimentary hillside at the extreme western end of the Chehalem Mountains. There, he planted the Ridgecrest Vineyard, Chehalem's oldest, in 1982.

90(+?) Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - July/August 2010
($39) Bright ruby. Bitter cherry, dark berries, pungent flowers and dark chocolate on the nose. Juicy, pure dark berry and spice flavors offer very good depth and surprising precision. Nicely round if not exactly fleshy, with a youthfully bitter cherry skin note emerging with air. Finishes with supple tannins, a note of bitter chocolate and attractive lingering perfume. I'd hold onto this one for another three to four years before cracking it.

Standard & Poor's today identified 58 of the weakest-rated global issuers, representing US$44 billion in rated bonds. This is an increase of five issuers but a decrease of US$2 billion in rated bonds from one month ago. These weakest-rated issuers have Standard & Poor's credit rating designations of triple-'C' or lower and are either on CreditWatch with negative implications or have a negative outlook. This group represents the lowest category before default. Globally, default rates, driven by Argentine defaults and continuing weak credit conditions in Europe, will surpass last year's investment-grade ratio of 0.24% and rival 2001's speculative-grade rate of 8.89%.

TELEVAC 86000 / CENTAURI-68000, South Carolina State Fair: 2012 38 comments
Once upon a time, computers were magical devices, "Electronic Brains", spoken of with tinges of awe and fear. See for instance the classic Hepburn / Tracy movie Desk Set. Nobody, in their day-to-day lives would expect to see a computer, and few people had any idea what they actually looked like. Everybody was sure, however, that they involved lots of blinking lights (and tape drives moving forever back and forth).
That first actually wasn't far from the truth. Early computers did have many lights, often signifying bits in various registers and program counters. They also had toggle switches (like the much missed computer in the old Columbia Science Museum) for setting all those bits.
The illuminated front panels of early computers loomed large enough in techie culture that you often found variations of the following sign posted in a computer room:
and the portmanteau word blinkenlights permanently entered the hacker lexicon.
So people were interested, a bit awed and a bit scared by the idea of computers, and had only a very general idea of what they could do and how they looked. Thus: The TELEVAC 86000.
This amiable faux computer has been making the rounds for as long as I can remember, which is to say, at least since 1965 or so, and probably prior to that. Every year, it would set up shop in the Steel Building or the Ruff Building and dazzle the passers by. How could you possibly doubt a handwriting analysis from the TELEVAC 86000? IT'S A COMPUTER! IT'S SCIENCE! IT HAS BLINKING LIGHTS!
While we never did spring for the analysis when my parents took us to the fair back in the day, I have the feeling that at the time, this wonder of technology dispensed pre-printed cards dissecting your penmanship -- certainly there were no portable printers available for such a travelling roadshow.
As the years went on, the TELEVAC did add a printer, and astrological predictions as well as handwriting analysis, but the basic blinkenlights front panel stayed fundamentally unaltered, even through the name change to the less antique sounding CENTAURI-68000.
By the time I actually dropped $3.00 in 2012, the whole concept was not too credible. Whereas in 1965, nobody had seen a computer, much less had a computer, and the blinkenlights represented (to this 5 year old anyway) the apex of science, by 2012 most everybody (including lots of the 5 year olds) had a computer, and everybody knew what one looked like.
Sad to say, the TELEVAC / CENTAURI did not make an appearance at the 2013 State Fair, and I'm afraid it is the end of an era.
South Carolina State Fair 2013, Fairgrounds: 20 October 2013 6 comments
Well, if you've been following Columbia Closings for a while, you won't find any real surprises here. I like what I like (mainly neon in the case of the State Fair) and you'll find a lot of what you found last year here this year again. I did try out the in-camera HDR setting of my LX7 some this year, and I think it works better for this kind of shot than it does for daylight ones where I've never really been happy with it.
I will say that for what should be an important anniversary year (150 years of the State Fair..) the Fair was a little sparse this year. It seemed to me that the artwork was fewer pieces spaced farther apart and the Steel Building (and the one to the right of it which name escapes me) had fewer booths this year, with some stalwarts missing. In particualr, I didn't notice the Hmong craft booth this year, and the Grey Market DVD booth was not there. There was also another surprising no-show which I'll mention tomorrow. And, granted it was Sunday evening, but still I didn't get to ride the bumper cars this year because I would have been the only car in the rink, and what's the fun of that?
Anyway, it was still fun to walk around, eat greasy food and watch the people and rides. Lots after the break!
(And check back in a few days when I finally have the skyride video uploaded..)
Also: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

(Folks coming in from the link at the CarnivalWarehouse.com forum, you may be interested in my pictures from previous South Carolina State Fairs -- Ted)
Well, as always, the South Carolina State Fair was a good time, with lots of beautiful art, greasy food, neon in motion and oddball retail. If you've read one of these posts before, don't expect anything particularly new this year; it's pretty much the same sights I usually enjoy capturing. I didn't submit anything for the art exhibition this year, so no pictures of the pre-Fair ceremony.
I've got a couple of videos I'll add later as soon as I can get them uploaded to youtube. In the meantime, enjoy!
UPDATE 27 October: First video (cablecars) is uploaded above.

These nine pictures are attempts at HDR. I took a tripod, and set the closing-cam to do 3 exposure brackets (1 "under exposed", 1 "over exposed" and 1 "correctly exposed"). I still have had trouble getting anything reasonable looking out of Qtpfsgui though other folks certainly have. There are just too many knobs and levers for me, at least for now. I did find another free program called Picturenaut, which actually produces nice results with the default settings. The downside is it only runs on Windows.
All the night pictures were taken on 15 October and the day pictures on 24 October. As usual, the fair remains an evergreen experience and if you missed it this year, you should try to catch it in 2011.
Lots and lots of other pictures after the jump. Be warned!

South Carolina State Fair 2009, Fairgrounds: 25 October 2009 4 comments
Well, The South Carolina State Fair was fun as usual. My only regret is that I did not get to ride the bumper-cars this year since I would have been the only one on the floor at the time I went by, and what's the fun of that? Oh, and I didn't manage to score a free yardstick anywhere this year.
Other than that, you've got your french fries, Italian sausage, fried mushrooms, cinimon rolls, performing sealions, elephants, rides, art and lots and lots of neon. What's not to like?
You can pretty much stop here if you don't like lots of photos, that's about all that's after the jump. I'm a little disappointed in how my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 handled the neon. Last year my deceased Kodak DX3600 tried its little heart out to make sense of the low light conditions it was never built for, and I think actually got better saturation on the neon than the Lumix, even though the Lumix is a much better camera. On the other hand, I just locked the Lumix F-stop at 2.2 and let it do whatever it wanted with the shutter, there's probably a better neon setting somewhere. (The thing has the most driest, most snoozeworthy manual of nearly anything I've seen). Interestingly, whereas usually the JPGs I get by manually processing the camera raw files are more pleasing than the ones the camera creates, the opposite was true here. Anyway, even if the average quality wasn't as pleasing, I still think I got some very nice shots. So if you like that kind of thing, and have a while to download, hit the "MORE" link.

Dirt Parking at the State Fair, Fairgrounds: 2008 2 comments
I suppose it's a silly thing to get pre-nostalgic about, but to me as a child, a big part of the adventure of going to the State Fair was the getting there. The first years I can remember, my father decided that he didn't want to face the hassle of fair traffic and parking fees, so we would catch the SCE&G Fairgrounds bus at, I believe, the corner of Main & Blossom. These were the only times we rode the bus as kids, and it was very exciting!
Later, I think my mother was less than thrilled at riding the bus and we started to drive, but it was still an adventure -- sort of an imperfectly organized chaos where you followed a bunch of cars, hoped you were in the right lane, and then tried to figure out which guy waving a flashlight you were supposed to follow as they invented a parking lot on the fly. Of course if it were dry, the dust would be flying everywhere, and if it had been wet, it was a long slog through the mud, but it never really occurred to me that the Fair should have anything other than a dirt/grass lot.
As you can tell from the pictures though, that's about to end. It appears that next year, we will have a "real" parking lot at the Fairgrounds. Oh well, as long as they still have the rocket and the handwriting analysis computer, my childhood won't be totally gone!
2008 SC State Fair, Fairgrounds: 19 October 2008 8 comments
OK, perhaps it is a cheat to do a closing on an annual event, and doing this many pictures is certainly way into overkill territory, but I do like the Fair, and I really like neon! Some of the night pictures came out really well, some are just so-so -- the closing-cam is a circa 2001 model that is definitely not meant for anything like night available-light photography but the results are interesting (to me at any rate).
Signs of the times, I suppose, but I didn't see the video game tent anywere back in the midway this year. This may be an artifact of the new(ish) operator. I think in the old days it was Deggler, then Conklin and now American Amusements or something like that. Also, no freakshow of any kind. The had kinder-gentler freak shows (ie, no actual "freaks": "Zoma, the jungle boy!") as late as the 1980s. And I think it's been many years since there was one, but it just occurred to me this year that I hadn't seen the Bingo tent either.
These first shots are from 22 September when I took two photos down to the Cantey building to enter them in the art show. (I thought there were better than some of the stuff that got included, but in the event, both were "juried out" of the show -- oh well!). At this point basically nothing is set up except the permanent buildings (and the sky ride).
The day shots were actually taken on 19 October, after the night shots, but it seems more normal to include them here first since 'day' precedes 'night'.
These night shots were taken on 10 October from about 9pm to about closing time at 11pm. The handwriting computer has been there for my entire life (as far as I can remember anyway!) I don't think they even make the pretense that it's a 'real' computer anymore, (in the beginning, it did look very futuristic and impressive).
These final shots come from Monday 20 October when I went back to the Cantey building to pick up the photos. Almost the entire midway was already gone -- those guys work fast!

Red Carpet to Room: Blush & Navy
awards show. As I was scanning the red carpet fashions, a couple color trends caught my eye. Some actresses were eschewing black for navy. And on the lighter end, there was a handful in the palest pink-nearly-ivory blush-toned gowns. After tracking down some examples, the hues make a chic pair in decor, too! With navy-clad Sofia Vergara sitting at a table with blush-covered Julie Bowen, you could see how complementary the colors are. Structured, classic navy gets a pinch of femininity from soft blush, and the navy keeps the pink from getting too girly. What do you think?

Top-Seeded Gators Get Eliminated
OMAHA, Neb. -- Winning a game for the first time at the College World Series isn't supposed to be easy.
Just ask Kent State.
The Golden Flashes survived shaky relief pitching to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning and beat Florida 5-4 on Monday. The loss eliminated the top-seeded Gators, who made it to the finals a year ago.
"It wasn't the prettiest thing in the end," Kent State coach Scott Stricklin said. "It was gut-wrenching no matter who you were rooting for. Even if you weren't rooting for anybody, that was tough to watch. But we found a way. That's what this team has done all year long, and we're still here."
The Flashes (47-19) bounced back from an 8-1 loss to Arkansas to post what Stricklin called the biggest win in program history.
"We belong here," he said. "That's the most important thing that we wanted as a team, as a program and as a university was to make a statement that we belong here. We're not a fluke. We're a really good baseball team."

I am Sorry.
It was my mistake :
I had one glPushMatrix in excess elsewhere in the code. So at the end of each frame, I had a matrix forgotten in the stack.
and at the 32nd frame, the matrix poped no longer corresponded to the one immediately pushed.
I guess openGL should signal the overflow in the matrix stack by a crash or a warning, rather than poping an incorrect matrix.
Thank you for your answer and your time

Given Alaska's sheer size – it is by far the largest of the United States – car hire in Alaska is recommended for anyone who wishes to explore the wintry terrain. Most of the state's population is condensed around Alaska's largest city, Anchorage, which sits in the south. A trip to The Last Frontier, as Alaska is commonly known, allows visitors the chance to climb North America's largest peak, Mount McKinley.

Posts Tagged 'Grunge'.
We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Grunge'.
We use ad-blockers as well, you know. We gotta keep those servers running though. Did you know that we publish useful books and run friendly conferences — crafted for pros like yourself? E.g. upcoming SmashingConf Barcelona, dedicated to smart front-end techniques and design patterns.
We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Grunge'.
Grunge is a popular trend that attempts to give designs a more organic and realistic look. It also provides a stark contrast to the simplistic, polished, and rigid "web 2.0" trend, opting instead for a less uniform and more elaborate form of design.
We've discussed grunge style in modern web design before, as well as the tips and tricks to achieving the grunge look. Now, it's time to put theory into practice by finding ways to infuse grunge thems into your artwork using Photoshop. In this collection, we present to you 40 excellent, high-quality grunge Photoshop tutorials. So fire up Photoshop and get ready to get your hands… dirty!Read more...
In our previous releases we focused on icons and Wordpress-themes; however, there is a variety of further tools graphic designers need on a regular basis. For instance, Photoshop brushes. We have mentioned already that grunge is becoming a trend, so a set of grungy Photoshop brushes sounded like a good idea. You can find dozens of our further releases in our section Freebies.
Today we are glad to release Smashing Photoshop Brushes — a free set of 74 grunge Photoshop brushes in resolution 69 — 2463px. The set is compatible with Adobe Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2 and CS3 (you can use it in Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, GIMP and Paint.NET too). The brushes were designed by Silvia Bukovac Gasevic, the creative mind behind graphics-illustrations.com, especially for Smashing Magazine and its readers.Read more...
Shiny and glossy design elements are now officially outdated. Just like retro is becoming trendy again, grungy look appears to rapidly gain on popularity. And there is a damn good reason behind it. In our everyday environment we're unlikely to find ideal geometric forms or pretty shadow effects as they are manifested by glorious Web 2.0-designs. The reality is different, and Web is definitely not an exception here.
Therefore designers often tend to explore the less ideal and more realistic design solutions which reflect the world we're living in more accurately and precisely. Result: such elements give the design a more realistic, genuine look, a look one would actually expect in real life.
In such grunge designs dirty stains, torn images, "broken" icons and creased pieces of paper are as popular as hand-drawn elements and dirty textures. The main purpose of hand-drawn elements lies in their ability to convey a personality and an individual note. And dirty textures are often used as background images for navigation menus, photos and overall layouts. Usually these elements are regular objects from our daily life, replicated in their real form without any glossy effects.Read more...
Most design trends come unexpectedly, evolve over time, become pointless and finally disappear from the design landscape. This holds particularly for web design, which is — just as every other creative field — prone for over-hyping and over-usage of trends. Being used excessively (sometimes properly, but mostly without any reasonable purpose), trends lose their ability to communicate information, express something unique or innovative and consequently lose their visual appeal.
Web 2.0 style is an excellent example for this evolution in design. In the last months of 2007 we've observed a clear example of design abuse, as glossy buttons, colorful reflections, 3D-effects, rounded corners and xx-large font sizes could be found almost everywhere (and we've presented some examples a year ago). However, currently we've been observing a new step in this evolution. Web 2.0 elements start to disappear; they become more subtle, more user-centric, more content-oriented and less loud. Is it a sign for coming changes?
Below we've collected everything you would ever need for a perfect design in a grunge style — design examples, free fonts, icons, textures, brushes and even few tutorials.Read more...

Theodore Gordon: The father of American dry-fly fishing
|fisherman, writer
Theodore Gordon, a consumptive hermit, was a writer who fished the Catskill region of New York State in the late 19th century through the early 20th century. He wrote articles for the Fishing Gazette from 1890 on and published works in Forest and Stream from 1903, sometimes under the pseudonym Badger Hackle.[1] Though he never published a book he is often called the father of the American school of dry fly fishing after he imported English fly-fishing tackle and flies and began to alter the English flies to precisely match the insects hatching in the Neversink, Beaverkill rivers, and Willowemoc Creek.[2] He learned to tie flies from reading The Anmerican Angler's Book (1864) by Thaddeus Norris, but he also read British fly fishing literature of the time and corresponded with notable British fly anglers Frederic M. Halford and G.E.M. Skues to perfect his fly tying skills.[3]
Gordon lived his final years and died in 1915 in the Anson Knight house, now deep below the surface of the Neversink reservoir.[4] In 1949, the author, Sparse Grey Hackle (alias for Alfred W. Miller), wrote in "The Quest for Theodore Gordon",[4] that Gordon, "was in fact, the father of dry-fly angling in America."
In the late 1800s Theodore Gordon began fishing the Neversink River in New York State. He represents the major figure in the transition from wet to dry-fly fishing in the United States. Although fishing with the dry fly had been mentioned by Thaddeus Norris in his The American Angler's Book (1865) and in several articles by other authors, Gordon became the great practitioner of the technique after he had received a number of dry flies from the Englishman Frederic Halford in 1890. Based on British insects, Halford's flies poorly imitated American hatches, but Gordon embraced the innovative technique and began the arduous study of native entomology that resulted in many indigenous patterns, including his most famous, the Quill Gordon.— John McDonald, Quill Gordon, 1972 [5]
John McDonald is responsible for compiling Gordon's writing into a book The Complete Fly Fisherman: The Notes and Letters of Theodore Gordon.[6]

(Note: See more about my globally syndicated radio X Zone Radio interview with Rod McConnell in postscript below)
Today the Harvard Business Review blog got to the topic of my early May Forbes article (Microsoft's Dismal Future) with "Microsoft and the Innovator's Paradox." Unfortunately, painting Microsoft as facing a difficult paradox gives Ballmer and the management team too much credit. It implies that Defend & Extend behavior is a good tradeoff compared to investing in growth markets. This isn't really a trade-off because good companies pursue both courses, growing the existing business as long as possible AND investing in new growth markets simultaneously. Like Google investing in search and ad placement while investing in Android. Positioning Microsoft as facing a dilemma may sound politically attractive, but is inaccurate. Microsoft simply needed to do more in growth markets – a problem shared by too many companies. Instead it spent way too much in sustaining developments – and now is in big trouble.
HBR did not offer much of a solution for Microsoft. Instead, leaving the impression that it's reasonable to expect "mature" organizations to do more sustaining innovation. The truncated S curve displayed HBR article ignores the reality that "mature" companies don't extend forever – but rather simply fall into the Swamp of poor returns and eventually disappear into the Whirlpool as growth slows. And further ignores the horrific cost of sustaining innovation, as we detailed in Microsoft's exorbitant 2009 R&D spending as the company kept pushing Windows 7 and Office 2010 development. Microsoft really hasn't faced a "paradox" for investing for many years – leadership made a bad decision to keep investing in old markets rather than pursue new ones.
Contrarily, Mediapost.com's Marketing Health column ran a description of how pharmaceutical companies could use iPads to improve the performance of their physician customers and simultaneously market their own products in "Tap Into iPad's Marketing Power." Using these low cost devices (including Kindle and Cisco's new Cius [Cnet.com "Cisco Introduces New Cius Android Tablet PC"]) is not a "paradox" in investing for growth. It's additive. As readers of this blog know, for over a year I've promoted marketers and designers become more proactive in using these new mobile devices. Only by viewing the new development as a trade-off from doing more of the old marketing does it slow investment in a high growth opportunity. By looking at the new opportunity as something that takes away from doing more of the old creates an artificial paradox – not a real one. Companies simply aren't doing enough of what will help them grow – too often choosing the low-return route of doing more of what they know in old markets simply because they understand it better.

Head Chef, Burlington restaurant, The Devonshire Arms, Bolton Abbey, North Yorkshire. www.thedevonshirearms.co.uk
Trained with Yannick Alléno at Le Meurice, Paris
Adam Smith is one of the most talented young chefs in the UK and has proved himself to be "one to watch" as legendary chef Michel Roux Senior predicted in 2012. Adam originates from Birmingham and started his life at the kitchen sink in a local restaurant, only getting chance to cook when a couple of the chefs didn't arrive for work one day. Once he realised he had quite a liking for being at the hotplate & decided once he finished school he would go to University College in Birmingham to further his training. After completing his NVQ 1&2 within a year he headed off to the bright lights of London, this is where is culinary training really began.
Adam's lucky break was his opportunity to work with chef John Williams MBE at The Ritz in London and became an integral part of the team in his 9 years there. Adam won the Craft Guild Of Chefs Young Chef of the Year award in 2010 then followed with the Observer Food monthly – Young chef of The Year in 2012. It was a good year for Adam in 2012 as he also won the Roux Scholarship after demonstrating superb culinary skills. As part of the prize he was given the opportunity to work for 3 months in Le Meurice in Paris which has 3 Michelin stars.
In 2013 Adam made a bold move to the North to head the Burlington restaurant at the The Devonshire Arms, Bolton Abbey. Adam's style of food echoes classical French combinations with his own very modern style, techniques & presentation. His passion to create stunning dishes from the very best produce & stunning ingredients is what drives him to continue to develop his already remarkable culinary skills.
Just 18 months later, in January 2015, Adam and his team were celebrating as the Burlington became the only restaurant to be awarded a coveted 4 AA rosettes.
A few words from John Williams MBE – Executive chef –The Ritz London "Adam worked for me for 9 years. He is very much a wise, head-on young shoulders gentleman with great skills in his cooking. Looking back through history with respect enables him to move forward with his modern approach cooking skills. He is a leader by example which is what every great chef should be, he has a great desire to learn and develop his style of cookery.
From washing pots in a Birmingham pub to cooking at a Michelin star restaurant, Adam has come a long way. The same year as winning the Roux Scholarship he won the Observer Food Monthly young chef of the year award.

NH delegation wants Northern Pass hearings moved
Delegation says relocating will allow more people to attend
New Hampshire's congressional delegation has asked the Department of Energy to move its planning hearings on the proposed Northern Pass power project from West Stewartson to Colebrook so more people can attend.
U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte and Congresswomen Carol Shea-Porter and Annie Kuster say the current location may not be big enough and poses some logistical challenges.
The $1.4 billion project would transmit 1,200 megawatts of Canadian hydroelectric power, enough to serve 1.2 million homes, from Hydro-Quebec into New England.
The project has stirred intense criticism in the North Country; opponents argue transmission towers would damage the environment, lower property values and hurt tourism.
Supporters say the power would reduce carbon emissions.
Last month the delegation asked the DOE to hold more scoping meetings on the proposal.

Baby "practice breathing"?
Soulmate to John, Mommy to Grace 9/6/06 (recovering from a massive stroke)and Josiah 2/17/09
I haven't heard of this... what does it look like on the ultrasound? Just opening & closing the mouth?
Mine has been opening and closing her mouth, sticking out her tongue, etc...Is this the same thing?
~ Cori ~
Austin (13), Jacob (almost 11), Kevin (8), Emily (5) and Hallie born Feb. 16th!
It's part of the requirements for a Biophysical Profile. I hate it when doctors make you nervous, like you're not already freaked out being high risk...
Renee ~Xane 11y ~Kai 7y ~Ace 5y ~Declan 3y ~ Phoebe 8/27/13
No, I guess he was looking at his abdomen for actual movement. I kept seeing his little heart beating, but he kept saying, "no thats you". Finally the nurse saw how scared I looked and reminded him that even though I have a 2 year old, I've never been this pregnant before!! So if any of FTM's docs say anything like that, don't let it scare you!
Soulmate to John, Mommy to Grace 9/6/06 (recovering from a massive stroke)and Josiah 2/17/09
They looked for this as well as measuring my fluid during the u/s part of my first 2x weekly non-stress test. She explained it as a reflex -- that the baby isn't breathing yet but is using the same muscles. She couldn't get Penny (LO) to do it either, but eventually after some jiggling the fluid, Pen reacted and she got her to do it. Said it's no biggy that the baby was resting at first. Freaked me out a little, too, but don't worry, I'm sure your LO is doing great!
My favorite movie is books.
My LO has the hiccups ALL of the time so I am hoping this is a sign that she has been practice breathing... what do you think?
oh you know what, growing? my u/s tech said the hiccups are a form of practice breathing, too. so yes!
My favorite movie is books.
My little girl was doing breathing movements like she was out in the air already. I'll be 32 weeks in a day, but I have received betamethasone shots (steroids) to mature her lungs since I may be delivering early. It was pretty cool to see this today at my peri appointment. With my son I remember seeing the movements as well, but we didn't see his become regular until my 33 week ultrasound. The practice breathing just helps to develop the lungs. It's always good and reassuring to see it on ultrasound. It means the baby is getting ready for the big debut.
Ayla Sue 1/26/2009 (37w1d)
For this the tech will look at the chest and when the baby is "breathing" the diaphragm will move up and down. Some techs will just watch the chest expand but I prefer to see the diaphragm moving. Most hospital protocols need the baby to do this at least twice in 45 min so alot of times you sit there for a while waiting :)
�Liam Giuseppe 12/05
��Francesca Italia 1/09 (CHD, club foot, g-tube, Multiple congenital anomalies) �
Marcella Soleil �3/11
I can definitely understand why you were scared at first! I would have been too!!
My experience is like Leah's, and I think it has a lot to do with the steroid shots we got, which is reassuring should we deliver early! DD was doing it at her 25 week ultrasound which was pretty remarkable, but not typical.
I didn't know it was a requirement for the tech to see! They made it sound like it was just cool that she was doing it, not like it was something that every baby does. I honestly don't remember hearing anything about it with my first pregnancy.

TV Ratings: 'Dancing' rises, 'Voice' droops and 'Sleepy Hollow' returns solidly on Monday
'Mike & Molly' has a solid premiere for CBS
"Dancing with the Stars" got a big bump -- Perhaps from Cher fans? Or just NFL preemptions? -- on Monday, as ABC scored a commanding overall win, while NBC still won the night among young viewers despite a steep drop for "The Voice."
With "The Voice" falling, "The Blacklist" also slipped a little and has now fallen way behind "Castle" overall, as the ABC procedural had its best night of the season.
CBS' heavily promoted return for "Mike & Molly" did decent numbers, retaining its fill "2 Broke Girls" lead-in on a night on which "How I Met Your Mother" got a big bump.
Also returning well was FOX's "Sleepy Hollow," which was off only 0.1 in the key demo from its last pre-baseball airing, though the freshman drama fell behind "Bones" overall.
With lots of overall competition, both "Hart of Dixie" and "Beauty and the Beast" fell hard for The CW, though both dramas retained their audiences in the key demo.
[I've read indications about East Coast preemptions for live news coverage in the 10 p.m. hour. It's unclear what impact, if any, that had on numbers, but it might as well get a mention. Of more significance, ABC had the Monday Night Football game in Milwaukee/Green Bay.]
This may require some additional analysis later, but for now, on to the numbers...
Among adults 18-49, NBC averaged a 3.4 rating for Monday night, tops in the key demographic. There was a big drop to FOX's 2.3 key demo rating, which was closely followed by ABC's 2.2 and CBS' 2.1 key demo rating. The CW averaged a 0.3 key demo rating for the night.
Overall, though, ABC won handily with an estimated 13.56 million viewers and an 8.8 rating/13 share for Monday primetime. NBC was second with 11.18 million viewers and a 6.9/11. CBS was third with a 4.5/7 and 7.135 million viewers, nipping the 6.98 million viewers and 4.1/6 for FOX. The CW averaged 852,000 viewers and a 0.6/1 for the night.
8 p.m. - "Dancing with the Stars" started primetime in first with 13.74 million viewers, but finished fourth with a 1.9 rating among adults 18-49 for ABC. NBC's "The Voice" was second with 11.46 million viewers and won the hour with a low 3.4 key demo rating. CBS was third overall and second in the key demo with "How I Met Your Mother" (8.1 million viewers and a 3.4 key demo rating) and "2 Broke Girls" (8.1 million viewers and a 2.6 key demo). FOX's "Bones" averaged 7.02 million viewers for fourth and a 2.0 key demo rating in third. The CW's "Hart of Dixie" averaged 1.03 million viewers and a 0.4 key demo rating.
9 p.m. - ABC stayed in first overall for the 10 p.m. hour with 15.03 million viewers and tied for third with a 2.3 rating among adults 18-49 for "Dancing with the Stars." NBC's "The Voice" was second overall with 11.81 million viewers and won the hour with a 3.8 key demo rating. CBS was third overall and tied for third in the key demo with the return of "Mike & Molly" (9.11 million and a 2.6 key demo) and "Mom" (7.32 million viewers and a 2.0 key demo rating). FOX's "Sleepy Hollow" averaged 6.94 million viewers and a 2.5 key demo rating in its return from hiatus. The CW's "Beauty and the Beast" averaged only 674,000 viewers and a 0.3 key demo rating.
10 p.m. - "Castle" averaged 11.91 million viewers and a 2.4 rating among adults 18-49 for ABC in the 10 p.m. hour. NBC's "The Blacklist" averaged 10.28 million viewers and an hour-winning 2.9 key demo rating. CBS' "Hostages" averaged 4.61 million viewers and a 1.1 key demo rating.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change, particularly in the case of live events.

St. Andre leads Iota past Vinton
By Howell Dennis
VINTON – Behind the powerful running of Trey St. Andre and an incredible defensive effort led by Tyler Harmon, Corey Vizina, Josh Benoit, and Brenten Lanthier, the Iota Bulldogs thoroughly dominated the Vinton Lions by a score of 34-0.
St. Andre had a coming out party of sorts, rushing for 224 yards as the Bulldogs gashed the Vinton defense for 422 yards of total offense. If not for a couple of runs, including a highlight-film 37-yard run in which he broke a tackle with a beautiful 360 move, that were called back on penalties, St. Andre may have have flirted with a 300-yard night.
About the only negatives for Iota Friday were two injuries, and six key turnovers and twelve penalties which ended drives which could have made the final score much higher. In fact, Iota didn't punt the ball once all night.
"We had a bunch of penalties and turnovers and we've got to clean that up," said Iota head coach Marcus LeJeune. "But we had eleven of our younger guys in key positions play tonight and they gained some valuable experience.
A couple of key players, running back John Simar and defensive end Corey Vizina suffered injuries. Vizina's injury seemed to be the more serious of the two as he suffered a knee injury and had to be helped off the field without putting any weight on his leg.
"John had a shoulder injury and Corey had a knee injury towards the end of the game," said LeJeune. "I can't comment definitively on those until they've been looked at by a doctor."
However, on the Iota sideline most of the talk was about St. Andre's incredible night, which was in no small part aided by some great blocking by the Iota offensive line. Terry Bushnell had several key blocks as well as playing a leadership role in keeping his team fired up while the defense was on the field.
"We had a good week of practice this week," said LeJeune. "And it carried over into tonight."
On Iota's second drive, it became evident that Iota was simply going to pound the ball against Vinton's overmatched defensive line. St. Andre ran the ball five straight times culminating in a 6-yard touchdown run to give the Bulldogs a lead they would never come close to relinquishing.
Vinton head coach Wendell LeJeune, classy in defeat, had nothing but praise for the Bulldogs.
"Their defense was just too much for us tonight," he said. "They are a good, solid football team that I have a lot of respect for. Their head coach is a class act and his players stick to their assignments."
When asked about the running of St. Andre, he simply smiled and stated "that kid is something. He is really hard to bring down."
"But I'm very proud of our team," he continued. "We had 13 kids on the field who had never played a down on a Friday night. They never gave up. It was a clean effort by both teams."
After St. Andre scored Iota's first three touchdowns, fullback Ethan Navarre, who rushed for 57 yards on only three carries, busted up the middle for a 37-yard touchdown with 1:46 to go in the third quarter. After recovering a Vinton fumble, St. Andre was at it again, scoring on a 37-yard run to make the score 31-0. A 35-yard Brett Broussard field goal completed the scoring.
The Iota defense was in the face of Vinton quarterbacks Kelby Hebert and Dylan Boudreaux all night. Led by Tyler Harmon's 17 tackles and 2.5 sacks by Lanthier, Vinton was never able to mount a serious drive during the entire game.
The final statistics reflect the dominance of the Bulldogs on this evening. In total offense, Iota compiled 422 yards - all on the ground - while Vinton gained a mere 68, most of which was gained after Iota pulled most of their starters.
The Bulldogs travel to Eunice next week to play St. Edmunds in what should be a step up in competition.

Mumford & Sons wins album of the year at Grammys
British folk band Mumford & Sons pulled off a surprise victory at the 55th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night, winning album of the year away from fellow nominees the Black Keys, and fun., who were dominating the night.
Before the nominations were announced last year, Mumford was an early favorite to win music's biggest prize. Its sophomore album, "Babel," had the second-highest week of sales last year according to Billboard, and the band's sweeping, banjo-strumming style paved the way for a lucrative folk renaissance, inspiring other acts like the Lumineers and Phillip Phillips, who've also had big sales successes. »Read Full Article(2)
