I've been nursing and rocking my 4 month old to sleep. He will go back to sleep on his own if wakes at night, but I'm worried I'm getting him into a bad habit. Will nursing him to sleep cause sleep problems later?
I've been nursing and rocking my 4 month old to sleep. He will go back to sleep on his own if wakes at night, but I'm worried I'm getting him into a bad habit. Will nursing him to sleep cause sleep problems later?
there was a thread on this topic somewhere in the forums not too long ago. maybe search for it, because reading it really helped me too.
if your baby goes to sleep by itself during the night - that is great!!!
And I am sure nursing your LO to sleep feels good for both of you, so why not keep it up?
good luck!!

I think you are fine. I ALWAYS nurse my 9 month old before bed at night. Somtimes she is out cold when I place her in her crib and other times she is awake but drowsy.. she also can put herself back to sleep in the middle of the night so I don't worry about nursing her to sleep at night. AS long as you know that your baby doesn't ALWAYS need the breast to fall alseep I think you are ok.

I think, that nursing to sleep is one of the best things you can have in your childcare "toolbox". I for one am GLAD that my lo will nurse to sleep. That ability has come in SO handy in situations where we're out of the house and lo needs a nap, or when going through teething struggles, or when dealing with toddler tantrums and a bunch of other sitch's too.
Now I know, alot of so called child experts say that you shouldn't nurse them to sleep, because they believe that it will cause them to always need to be nursed to sleep. But where are the scientific studies that prove that? Where are the millions of insomniac children who have sleep disorders because mom nursed them to sleep? And where are all the elementary schoolers/Junior High Schoolers/High Schoolers who can't sleep without being nursed to sleep? That's right, there aren't any!
www.askdrsears.com has some great info on sleep in his website. This particluar article from that site is really good and has great info on how the baby's body works regarding sleep: http://www.askdrsears.com/html/7/T070200.asp This link has links to the other sears' sleep articles: http://www.askdrsears.com/html/7/T070100.asp
You're doing fine nursing to sleep. It's not going to cause sleep disorders or problems. It's a good tool to have to take care of your lo's. You can always add new tools to your toolbox later on, by working on other ways to comfort baby to sleep too. The more tools, the better, IMO!
I really don't think it will cause any long term problems.
I nurse DS to sleep every night.

Thank you all for the reassurance. I've checked out the links from Dr. Sears and it's good to see that at least one expert sees the value in letting a baby fall asleep in your arms or at the breast. So many are so against it. I'll keep up with the nursing to sleep. It's been such a great way for both of us to unwind after at busy day.

Need some help here.
I am building an image gallery for a client's website and wanted a way for the client to upload their own images from the back end and shows up on the website page for the pictures. I am using color box as the lightbox feature for the photos and on the webpage thumbnails are displayed in rows.
In the backend, I have the upload page and here is my form:
Code: Select all
<form name="form" action="../uploader.php" method="POST"
Filename:
<input type="file" name="uploaded_file" id="uploaded_file">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="10485760" />

<input type="hidden" name="image_type" value="" />

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form" />
From the admin upload page, the client can upload their image and it will save it into the "image/uploads/" folder. Here is the uploader.php script:
Code: Select all
//Сheck that we have a file
if((!empty($_FILES["uploaded_file"])) && ($_FILES['uploaded_file']['error'] == 0)) {
//Check if the file is JPEG image and it's size is less than 1.4MB
$filename = basename($_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
$ext = substr($filename, strrpos($filename, '.') + 1);
if (($ext == "jpg") && ($_FILES["uploaded_file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") &&
($_FILES["uploaded_file"]["size"] < 10485760))
//Determine the path to which we want to save this file
$newname = dirname(__FILE__).'/images/uploads/'.$filename;
//Check if the file with the same name is already exists on the server
if (!file_exists($newname)) {
//Attempt to move the uploaded file to it's new place
if ((move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'],$newname))) {
echo "Upload Complete! ";
} else {
echo "Error: A problem occurred during file upload!";
} else {
echo "Error: File ".$_FILES["uploaded_file"]["name"]." already exists";
} else {
echo "Error: File too big to upload";
} else {
echo "Error: No file uploaded";
Now the website page will display all the images in the "images/uploads" folder and will update itself when new photos are uploaded.
Here is the gallery code from the website:
Code: Select all

/* function: returns files from dir */
function get_files($images_dir,$exts = array('jpg')) {
$files = array();
if($handle = opendir($images_dir)) {
while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
$extension = strtolower(get_file_extension($file));
if($extension && in_array($extension,$exts)) {
$files[] = $file;
return $files;
/* function: returns a file's extension */
function get_file_extension($file_name) {
return substr(strrchr($file_name,'.'),1);
/** settings **/
$images_dir = 'images/uploads/';
$images_per_row = 5;
/** generate photo gallery **/
$image_files = get_files($images_dir);
if(count($image_files)) {
$index = 0;
foreach($image_files as $index=>$file) {
echo '';
if($index % $images_per_row == 0) { echo '

'; }
echo '

';
else {
echo '
There are no images in this gallery.
';
With the help from timthumb.php and timthumb-config.php I am able to produce the thumbnails for the website. Once clicked, brings up the colorbox feature for the image slideshow.
Everything works, except for any images over 1500px do not display their thumbnails so I need to resize the images to be smaller than that - and porportional.
How can I upload a bigger image and resize it to save itself into the "images/uploads/" folder to be under 1500px?
Please look at my codes and let me know where and what code I need to produce the resized image.

Makes 2/3 cup
Reducing wine concentrates the flavor, and balsamic vinegar contributes its own unique intensity to this ruby-colored dressing. It's delicious drizzled over sliced tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and basil.
3/4 cup Sangiovese or other medium-bodied, high-acid red wine
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon packed brown sugar, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
Bring the wine to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the wine is reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and garlic; continue to simmer until the garlic has softened, about 1 more minute.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Whisk in the remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 1 week. Whisk or shake before using.

I'm pretty high on this Alec Burks kid...
I woud be kind of pissed if we used our 17th pick on Iman Shumpert, when there will be other players that will be gona gy the 20th to 25th pick while Iman Shumpert will msotl likely last till the beginning of the 2nd round. Iman Shumpert is a great player both on the defensive and offensive side of the ball. I hope we can buy a late 1st rounder to ealy 2nd rounder and try to draft this guy. But don't think a 17th overall pick is worth getting Iman Shumpert, when brooks, Markeiff morris, and Kenneth Faried are still around.
I'm pretty high on this Alec Burks kid...
No way Alec Burks fall to number 17..
I know that. But in the event that he does and the Knicks draft Shupert, I'll kill someone.
Shumpert should last for a while. #17 would make no sense.
But, then again, if the Knicks have good intel that someone else will snatch him up, and they think he really is that damn good, I guess go for it. That's why they drafted Landry Fields when they could have probably signed him as an undrafted FA. They didn't want to take the chance. And they were right, weren't they?
Just make sure the intel is good. Remember when the Suns fooled Isiah into thinking that they wanted Balkman, and Zeke drafted that bum at #20? Yeah, that was awesome...
according to Chad Ford of ESPN, he has him going to NY at 17th, hopefully that doesnt happen. I hope we get him with a later pick tho.
did I ****ing call it or what, idiots thats all I can ****ing say.
You said "Knicks considering"... Not once did you say "I predict". And I didn't see you mention anything in the prediction thread.
I flat out said "prepare to hear Iman Shumperts name called", and NOBODY else mentioned him.
Tis all I was saying. You don't call anything by posting a rumor. There was 1000 rumors going around.
-Chris Singleton wasn't going to get any burn playing behind Stat & Melo, anyway. And he could guard SG, but only in spurts.
-Marshon Brooks could be an exceptional NBA scorer. But everyone questions how well he'd play off the ball with Stat & Melo getting all the touches. This team could use a defensive asset more than another ball-dominating offensive weapon.
-Faried was available, but whatever. NY gets plenty of rebounding from the 3 and 4. They need rebounds and defense from the 5, and that's not Faried. Also, as with Singleton, how many rebounds will Faried get when he's on the bench behind Stat & Melo?
My only problem with this pick is that they could have gotten Shumpert later, and should have bought an additional pick later in the draft to get Shumpert. But with all the trade activity that went down, maybe no one was willing to sell a pick when they could get more in a trade from someone other than the Knicks.
Oh, well.
When it's late in the 4th, are we going to sit Stat or Melo for Singleton's defense? No. We need their offense and rebounding. Unless we're going possession by possession in the final minute, we're not going to sub out our stars for defensive possessions.
On the other hand, Shumpert can be on the floor in crucial minutes to bother killer shooting guards or point guards. Situations where you can't trust Singleton because he's just too big to cut around tight screens to chase a quicker SG.
Face it...Singleton is a nice player, but he didn't fit our needs as well as Shumpert. Get over it.
I like the Shumpert pick. He's a versatile defender and the one knock being he couldn't shoot it. Apparently Donnie saw him stroking the jimmy in workouts and felt his shot mechanics were fine as it was and he can indeed play both sides of the ball. And he's an athletic beast! I like this pick alot. Can't wait to use him in 2k12..

Do you remember last season? Remember what % teams were getting from the perimeter? I know nothing about this guy, however if he is an accomplished perimeter defender then I much prefer that to another offensive player. Realistically, considering a backup scorer in case Anthony, Stoudamire, and Billups aren't hitting them is not a priority. Dallas won the Championship with 2 main contributors on offence (Nowitzki and Terry) Miami rely on James and Wade; That's how it works. Knicks also have Douglas and Shawne who can shoot. Our problem at the mo is not allowing opponents to score more than we do. Our offence was one of the best in the league last season.

Maine hearing delayed for Mass. rapistMarch 30,2013
PORTLAND, Maine - A hearing has been delayed until next week for a Gorham man facing a fugitive from justice charge after eluding authorities for 34 years after being convicted of three Massachusetts rapes.
Friday's hearing for Gary Irving was continued to Monday, so he will remain in Cumberland County Jail through the weekend.
The Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/14C1nsN ) says Irving turned up in court Friday wearing a yellow inmate uniform, the color worn by maximum security prisoners.
His lawyer, Christopher Leddy, told Justice Roland Cole that he needed more time to review the documents in Irving's case, so the hearing was rescheduled for 8:30 a.m. Monday.
The 52-year-old Irving used an assumed name while living in Gorham and was arrested Wednesday night. He had disappeared while awaiting sentencing for the rapes.

|Rigel VII
|1 moon
|Native Species:
|Rigel system
Kandari sector
Alpha Quadrant
Rigel VII was the inhabited seventh planet of the Rigel system. This system was located in the Kandari sector, a region of space in the Alpha Quadrant. The planet had one moon and was the homeworld of the Kalar, a pre-warp capable humanoid species. (TOS: "The Cage"; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, production art; TNG: "Conspiracy" display graphic)
In 2254, a landing party from the starship USS Enterprise, led by Captain Christopher Pike, visited Rigel VII. While inside an apparently abandoned Kalar fortress, Pike and crew were attacked by the native Kalar warriors. Three crew members, including Pike's personal yeoman, were killed. Seven more were injured (including Spock, Navigator Tyler and a ship's geologist); some of these were so severely wounded that they required treatment at the Vega colony. Pike later regretted his decision to enter the fortress, stating that "the swords and the armor" should have alerted him to the possibility of a trap. (TOS: "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part I", "The Menagerie, Part II")
There was a song called "Moon over Rigel VII". Captain Kirk proposed singing it around a campfire while taking shore leave at Yosemite National Park on Earth with Captain Spock and Doctor McCoy in 2287. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
During the 2360s, Kobliad fugitive Rao Vantika used a subspace shunt to access and purge everything in the active memory of computer systems on Rigel VII. He later attempted the same on Deep Space 9 in 2369. (DS9: "The Passenger")
A view of the surface of Rigel VII was depicted on several viewscreens on Deep Space 9's Promenade and replimat, (DS9: "The Muse") advertising a visit to the "spectacular castles of Rigel VII". (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
|Rigel system
|Rigel II • Rigel III • Rigel IV • Rigel V • Rigel VII • Rigel X • Rigel XII
Background informationEdit
The location of Rigel identified in the "The Explored Galaxy" star chart placed it between the Tholian Assembly and Romulus. Both were identified in DS9: "Call to Arms" as being located in the Alpha Quadrant.
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (Pgs. 36, 54, 59, 60), Rigel VII was a quarantined planet. The planet was an M-class world. The planet was not unified under a uniglobal government and was non-aligned. Its status was pending the development of warp drive. The dominant species was the Kalar. There was a conjectural count of 725,000 Kalar in 2370. First contact with this world was made by the Enterprise in 2254.
Behind the ScenesEdit
In the story outline for "The Cage" (as reprinted in The Making of Star Trek, pp. 47-65), this planet's name was given as Endrex II. (The Making of Star Trek, p. 51) Analysis of the script for "The Cage" indicates that the planet's name was then changed to Rigel 113. Before it finally became Rigel VII, Harvey P. Lynn – a physicist from the RAND Corporation who served as an unofficial adviser on both "The Cage" and, later, the first season of Star Trek: The Original Series – suggested to Gene Roddenberry that he consider changing Rigel 113 to Vega 113, due to Rigel being "mighty far away." (The Making of Star Trek, p. 95)
In the second revised final draft script of "The Cage", it is notated that the Rigel fortress "suggests a medieval civilization, but carrying strange symbols and odd décor which suggests things quite alien from Earth." The script similarly describes the fortress' courtyard; "The feeling here is as outside, a feudal-level civilization but with its weapons and architecture somewhat different from Earth."
In "The Cage" and "The Menagerie, Part II", the surface of Rigel VII, including the exterior of the Rigel fortress, was depicted with a matte painting that was created by Albert Whitlock. The Rigel fortress' exterior also involved live-action footage that was filmed on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer backlot and the fortress' interior was a set. ("The Menagerie, Part II" text commentary, TOS Season 1 DVD) The matte painting used to depict Rigel VII was re-used, unaltered, for Holberg 917G in the original version of TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah" (though it was replaced by a new CG matte painting for that episode's remastered version).
In the short story version of "The Cage" (titled "The Menagerie" and published in Star Trek 4), this planet was Rigel VIII.
According to the comics series Star Trek: Early Voyages, the building was named the Zemtar fortress, and the Kalar warriors attacked because of their reluctance to see their homeworld join the peaceful Federation.
In Decipher's Star Trek Roleplaying Game, the green Orion race was from Rigel VII.

Trick or treat
November 1, 2012 —
Our region is blessed with many diverse habitats. Moving from mountain to valley will bring a whole different range of fauna and flora that can be seen. The arrival of fall brings much change as animals hibernate or migrate, and we see many visitors that are passing through or overwinter here.
Many people have become familiar with various species to the extent of knowing which ones are "good" or "bad" due to such things as what they eat, where they nest or roost, or even what they look like.
Many critters can be on both sides of the fence in their interaction with people. With Halloween here, I have included a few examples of "the good, the bad, and the ugly." These are examples of nature's "trick or treat."


text:
December 1, 2011 —
Fall always brings some feathered visitors to the region that are not full time residents here. From golden eagles and loons to snow buntings, they all provide a great variety of wildlife viewing during migration season. One species that is commonly seen around starting in October is interesting in that it has to dive for its dinner.
The bufflehead (Bucephala albeola) is the smallest diving duck in North America. Black and white in color, they usually assemble in small flocks on lakes and rivers. These diving ducks forage for small invertebrates and plants and dive to the bottom to do it.
A bufflehead, like other diving ducks, has positive buoyancy and floats with ease on top of the water. So how does it manage to get to the lake or river bottom? (No buoyancy vest or weight belt.)
A photo sequence of a diving bufflehead shows the steps a bufflehead takes to perform its descent for dinner. Preferring shallow water of 10 feet or so in depth, buffleheads are not the deepest divers, but they are fun to watch.
Enjoy them when you can, because iced over waterways will spur them to move on to estuarine habitats in New Jersey and points south where they will winter.

Ciprofloxacin is an antibacterial prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment and prevention of certain bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, lower respiratory tract infections, skin infections, bone and joint infections, intra-abdominal infections, infectious diarrhea, typhoid fever, gonorrhea, and anthrax. It comes in several formulations, including tablets, extended-release (XR) tablets, oral suspension (a mixture of a medicine and a liquid that can be taken by mouth), and intravenous (IV) infusion solution. The different formulations of ciprofloxacin are approved for different uses and specific populations.
Some bacterial infections are opportunistic infections. An opportunistic infection is an infection that occurs more frequently or is more severe in people with weakened immune systems—such as those infected with HIV—than in people with healthy immune systems.
Ciprofloxacin can also be used "off-label" to prevent and treat other opportunistic infections of HIV infection. "Off-label" use refers to use of an FDA-approved medicine in a manner different from that described on the medicine label. Good medical practice and the best interests of a patient sometimes require that a medicine be used "off-label."
The Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents, prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA-HIVMA), includes recommendations on the HIV-related uses of ciprofloxacin to:
Before taking ciprofloxacin, tell your health care provider:
Ask your health care provider about possible side effects from ciprofloxacin. Your health care provider will tell you what to do if you have side effects.
Take ciprofloxacin according to your health care provider's instructions. Your health care provider will tell you how much ciprofloxacin to take and when to take it. Before you start ciprofloxacin and each time you get a refill, read any printed information that comes with your medicine.

- Title
- Optimum blank design in sheet metal forming by the deformation path iteration method
- Author(s)
- Park, S. H.; Yoon, J. W.; Yang, D. Y.; Kim, Y. H.
- Abstract
- Optimum blank design methods have been introduced by many researchers to reduce development cost and time in the sheet metal-forming process. Direct inverse design method such as Ideal Forming (Chang and Richmond, Int J Mech Sci 1992; 34(7) and (8): 575–91 and 617–33) [7, 8] for optimum blank shape could play an important role to give a basic idea to designer at the initial die design stage of the sheet metal-forming process. However, it is difficult to predict an exact optimum blank without fracture and wrinkling using only the design code because of the insufficient accuracy. Therefore, the combination of a design code and an analysis code enables the accurate blank design. In this paper, a new blank design method has been suggested as an effective tool combining the ideal forming theory with a deformation path iteration method based on FE analysis. The method consists of two stages: the initial blank design stage and the optimization stage of blank design. The first stage generated a trial blank from the ideal forming theory. Then, an optimum blank of the target shape is obtained with the aid of the deformation path iteration method which has been newly proposed to minimize the shape errors at the optimization stage. In order to verify the proposed method, a square cup example was investigated.

I already saw the all gameplay for the maps, it was cool but..honestly, I didn't get to impressed. I'm buying it on Black Friday. I guess I have to try it then judge it.
Halo is poo
Nice. :D
Crap game! All the graphics for it and engine and physics have been out for years. It's another $60 map pack. Zombies are fun but that's it and I rather just have a pure zombie game than this trash.
Zombies is soooo different. But good video bro! Plus rep! :D

Are you excited for the New Year's challenge that starts Monday?!
I am so excited! I can't wait to help you get organized this January, and give away lots of great prizes too! But before we start the challenge I want to give you a few photo tips. Good pictures are so important for making a space look good, and we want your spaces to look top notch since all our readers will be voting for their favorite spaces each week!
Tip #1–Lighting
Good lighting is the #1 key to good pictures! I know this time of year it can sometimes be hard to get good lighting because of poor weather, but do whatever you can to reflect lighting on to the object(s) you are photographing. Here's an entire post I wrote about how to get good lighting. The best way to light up the room or object you're photographing is with a mirror. Use whatever portable mirror you have in the house and move it around until it reflects as much light as possible onto your object.
There are lots of times I've taken pictures while my husband or a friend is holding a mirror reflecting light onto my object. It doesn't matter how silly your set up looks, all that matters is how good the picture turns out. I usually laugh at myself, and my set up, when I'm taking pictures, I always think, "if only my readers could see me now…"
Tip #2–Tripod
Tripods are important for getting perfectly clear pictures. Being able to set your camera on a tripod gets you clear pictures, every time, because a tripod doesn't shake like your hands do! If you can't afford a tripod, or don't have one, don't worry! I actually don't have one either so instead I use chairs, books, candlesticks, you name it, I've probably used it!
This "tripod" is made up of a chair, books and a washcloth, classy. It doesn't matter how silly it looks, all that matters is that I'm getting clear pictures!
Tip #3–Camera Timer
I learned this awesome trick from my friend Karianne at Thislewood Farms. To be doubly sure you're going to get a clear picture, use the timer on your camera. By setting the timer on your camera it allows you to set up the picture the way you want it, and then walk away while the picture is being taken. I don't know why but I get super jittery when I'm trying to be still and take a picture. Being able to set my camera up and then turn on the timer, has been the perfect solution for me to ensure I get clear pictures every time! Using a timer, and a tripod, also allows you to take quality pictures in low light settings because the shutter can stay open longer, without the camera moving.
Tip #4–Smart Phone Apps
Let's be honest. For an organizing challenge most of you probably aren't going to worry about becoming photo experts, and many of you will probably take pictures of your spaces on your smart phone. To make sure you get the best pictures possible, with your phone, here are the best photo editing apps!
PowerCam – Real-time photo editing
Photoshop Express
Camera +
FX Photo Studio
For specific details, and prices, for each one please visit the original source.
Camera Zoom FX
Little Photo
Pudding Camera
BeFunky PhotoEditor
Aviary Photo Editor
For specific details, and prices, for each one please visit the original source.
Tip #5–Editing
If you won't be editing pictures on your phone then you'll need a good photo editor for your computer. My two favorite, free photo editors are Picasa and PicMonkey.com. Both of these are easy to use and will make your pictures look more professional!
If you follow these tips your pictures will turn out fabulous and your spaces will look picture perfect! Don't forget, for this challenge you want good pictures because good pictures = more votes = prizes!!! Good luck!!!

I have some code which calls functions in a PostgreSQL DB using SQL linked servers. When called in PostgreSQL the column name is usually the same as the function called and up until I updated to the latest version of PGOLEDB the behaviour was the same. With the latest version I know get a column name like COLUMN1. To test try the folowing:
In PostgreSQL - select version(); - you should see a column called version
In SQL Server using a linked server - select * from OPENQUERY(LINKEDSERVER,'select version()') - you should see a column called COLUMN1
I can fix this by changing the SQL Server query to the following select * from OPENQUERY(LINKEDSERVER,'select version() as version') but I'd rather not have to do that.
Version 126.96.36.19956 was the version I was using that worked as expected. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Since 2012, Shangri-La Hotel, Ningbo has been assisting the Simingshan Mountain Primary School, located in the mountainous county of Yuyao, China. They work with them through various campaigns including the Healthy Kids, Happy School Project. Last year, the hotel focused on providing four freshly cooked nutritious meals to the children every week in addition to providing education on the importance on following a balanced diet.
Infrastructure Development
To create a more conducive environment for living and learning, during summer vacation the hotel provided volunteers to repair a 20-metre long hand washing sink, the main door of the school's canteen and the students' dormitory. In addition to this, three new cabinets were installed in the canteen to ensure food safety and hygiene standards are maintained.
Nutrition, Hygiene & Education
The hotel is committed to improving the students' health and lifestyle. This is done through providing four freshly cooked nutritional meals per week and inviting the hotel doctor to conduct personal hygiene lessons to further strengthen awareness on healthy living. Moreover, English classes are held every fortnight to increase fluency across the school.
Latest News
In 2013, in addition to the hotel's provision of four nutritional meals per week and English classes, the government has begun providing milk twice a week to the school. Shangri-La Hotel Ningbo, China had kindly requested the government's support in helping make the children's lives healthier. Hygiene and fire life safety lessons are scheduled for the students at least once per semester.

The Progress
THREE RIVERS – The all-new, all-different incarnation of Salsa Fest is well underway—with a new location, enthusiastic volunteers and a definitive game plan, the event's new manager said Monday.
Barbara Vezell, who the city appointed as the event facilitator, was busy but very upbeat with the progress she and the committee working with her are making on Salsa Fest.
The event is slated to take place on July 5 this year at the Hilbert H. Kopplin Memorial Park.. It will, essentially, be a combination of Salsa Fest and a fireworks display.
"We're working hard, trying to make sure there are, for instance, a variety of lights," Vezell said. "We're very busy putting things together. The people on the committee are very excited. It's really going to be one of the best years ever—especially with our new venue."
Salsa Fest began in 2000 under the direction of Murrell Foster, executive director of the Three Rivers Chamber of Commerce.
However, the chamber board voted to discontinue their support of the event because of a change in sponsors (First National Bank decided to end its seven-year run of operating the salsa competition).
Also cited was a lack of volunteers, who have steadily declined over the years, Foster said.
The city of Three Rivers subsequently decided to take over, and hired Barbara Vezell to manage it, Foster said.
Salsa Fest officials from the past will still be on hand to offer free advice, free information and a general dose of enthusiasm for the event, officials said.
Vezell said there's a lot of managing that goes into making the event a reality, but it's all definitely falling into place.
"We're still putting it all together right now," she said. "But I have the right people assigned to take care of things, and it's going to be great."

GOP super PAC starts new anti- tax ad campaign
MONTPELIER The conservative super PAC that spent more than $1 million on the candidacies of Republican hopefuls last fall is getting an early start on the next election cycle.
Vermonters First began airing two new television advertisements Wednesday criticizing Vermont Democrats for proposals that would raise about $70 million in taxes next year. The 15-second spots feature disaffected residents bemoaning proposed increases in taxes on gasoline, property and heating fuel.
How can we afford to live here? asks a woman holding a brown bag full of groceries.
Ryan Emerson, communications director for the Vermont Democratic Party, called the ads misleading and said its premature for anyone to render judgment on a legislative session still less than two months old.
What you have is tons of different bills coming out from members of the party, a lot of which wont get broad-based agreement, Emerson said. Its so early in the process its hard to see what direction things are going in, and trying to score partisan points so early in the process is unfortunate.
By all accounts, however, increases in taxes on gasoline and statewide property rates are pretty much a foregone conclusion. And elected officials a Republican among them sought not to downplay their chances of passage, but to defend them on their merits.
Gov. Peter Shumlin last month unveiled a proposed increase in the gas tax that would add an estimated 9 cents per gallon to the price of unleaded fuel.
With Vermonters buying 40 million fewer gallons annually than they did in 2005, the second-term Democrat said, the state needs to find ways to prop up flagging transportation revenues.
If Vermont doesnt find additional revenue for fiscal year 2014, Shumlin said Wednesday, then it risks losing out on federal matching funds.
We can either send $59 million back to Washington this year alone that were planning to use for crumbling roads and bridges or we can fill the leaky bucket from our success in reducing the number of gallons were burning, Shumlin said.
Rep. Pat Brennan, the Republican who chairs the House Committee on Transportation, had Shumlins back. Brennans committee has tweaked the administration proposal, reducing by 2 cents the per-gallon impact of the new gas tax.
The revised plan makes up the difference by finding more than $4 million in cuts at the Agency of Transportation, and reducing the amount of transportation money used to pay for public safety.
But Brennan said anyone looking to make political hay out of the gas tax likely doesnt understand the severity of the alternative.
Inevitably were going to take some heat for this. I understand that, Brennan said. But I dont think the public, given the alternative, would in the long run appreciate us losing out on federal matching funds. People would within a year see the (deteriorating) quality of the roads.
Headed by veteran Republican strategist Tayt Brooks, Vermonters First made its name in the run-up to the general election last fall by bankrolling a media blitz that sought to boost the electoral prospects of GOP candidates in statewide and local races. Burlington resident Lenore Broughton paid for virtually the whole operation. Brooks did not return calls for comment Wednesday.
Vermonters First spent about $7,700 to run 31 ads on WCAX-TV over the next week.
Only a small handful of House Democrats voted against legislation last week to increase the statewide property tax rate by 5 cents. The Legislature is required by law to raise the money needed to pay for school budgets passed by local voters on Town Meeting Day. Shumlin has said hes concerned about the rate of increase in education spending, but that Montpelier has no control over the issue.
All but one House Republican voted against the 5-cent tax increase last week. Many of them say they support an overhaul of a school-funding formula they blame for skyrocketing education costs.
Eric Davis, professor emeritus of political science at Middlebury College, said he isnt surprised to see public condemnation of Shumlins revenue proposals. But he said its liberals, not conservatives, who are most likely to take issue with his ideas.
Whether its new taxes on gasoline or break-open tickets, or cutting welfare benefits and reducing tax credits for poor people, Davis said Shumlins policies have a disproportionate impact on low-income Vermonters. If a Republican governor offered similar proposals, Democrats would be all over him for adopting regressive policies, Davis said.
I think the main issue is not so much what Vermonters First is saying, but whether the Shumlin administrations proposals, taken collectively, hurt the natural Democratic constituencies, he said.
Though only four months have passed since the last election, Vermonters First isnt the only political organization prepping for 2014. The Vermont Democratic Party has five paid staffers.
Lawmakers are considering legislation this year that would heighten disclosure requirements for super PACs. Under current law, Vermonters wont know who paid for the most recent Vermonters First ad blitz until the next reporting deadline, which doesnt come until the middle of July.
Emerson said he thinks the Vermonters First approach with these new ads will work about as well as the ones they ran last October and November almost not at all.
I think it will backfire in the end, Emerson said. I think overwhelmingly Vermonters rejected the big money last fall, and I think they will reject it this time as well.

When Evan Thomas was the editor of his high school newspaper, he traveled with classmates to Cuba and Vietnam to write about the lives of students outside the U.S. Those experiences have since become the foundation for a long-term commitment to helping people in the developing world.
As an engineering student, Evan has been active in the CU chapter of Engineers Without Borders. The non-profit organization founded by CU Professor Bernard Amadei sends engineering students, faculty, and other professionals to work with developing communities to meet their basic needs for water, sanitation, and energy systems.
Evan has led EWB trips to Rwanda and Nepal to help improve drinking water systems and introduce solar lighting and computer technology in poor and remote villages. He recently was awarded the Putska Scholarship for civic engagement at CU-Boulder.
Describing a recent trip to Muramba, Rwanda when EWB volunteers helped to build two rainwater catchment systems to enhance clean water storage capacity in the poor and remote village, Evan says: "Our whole team was only 10 people, but we immediately made a difference for 700 people—that's 70 times the people who went and using a budget of only $20,000."
The EWB work is not high-tech—unlike his chosen major of aerospace engineering—because EWB teams work to implement appropriate and sustainable technologies in the communities where they work. But Evan sees the two fields as related. "They both take a lot of effort and involve going to dangerous and remote places, and you're accomplishing something because you have a dream of what you want the world to be like," he says.
Evan has found many NASA engineers who share his interest in helping people in the developing world, leading to his founding of an EWB chapter at NASA's Johnson Space Center. He has had a co-op internship at JSC alternating with the semesters he spends studying at CU-Boulder. "All these people share a dream of what they want the world to be like and they are going out to make it be that way," he says.
After earning his bachelor's and master's degrees, Evan hopes to work at NASA and continue his studies to eventually earn a PhD. Someday, his goal is to be selected for the astronaut training program.
"As a kid, I always thought it would be cool to be an astronaut, but I never thought it was a real possibility until I came to CU," he says. "Here I learned about the great aerospace program and all the CU alumni who have become astronauts, and it became clear that it was a possibility. Of course, it's very selective," he adds, "but if I don't make it, there's still nothing I'm doing now that I'll ever regret."

Butler, 32, is charged with capital murder in the death of Paul McAdams and could face the death penalty. According to the indictment, Butler did "intentionally and knowingly cause the death of an individual, Paul McAdams, by causing trauma to the head of the said Paul McAdams by striking the said Paul McAdams with an object; and by striking the said Paul McAdams against an object; and by means unknown to the Grand Jurors, and the said Paul McAdams was then and there an individual under 10 years of age."
Butler was staying at the home of the infant's parents, Marilyn Weygand and Zachary McAdams, when the child was transported from Goliad to Victoria's DeTar Hospital in the early morning hours of April 4. The infant was transported to a San Antonio hospital where he died. The autopsy report said the child died from blunt force trauma to his head.
The child's two siblings, ages 5 and 8, were removed from the home by Child Protective Services and are living with a relative. No charges have been filed against the child's parents.

Sometimes you need to do hard things that you don't really want to do because they'll make your life easier. I mean ... probably.
See, I always feel weird about writing these advice columns, because there are people on this site who do them better than I do, and because my most important advice will always be I'm still an idiot so please don't listen to me. But there must be a few other idiots out there, because I occasionally get messages from readers with questions. Questions about life and stuff, instead of questions about the area of my expertise (nothing!). So I've put some answers together, with the warning that I don't know if these are the right answers; they're just the things that work for me that I've found to be true, right at this particular moment. Expect me to come back next year with a brand new set of answers ("Ignore everything I said previously and invest all of your money in gold!"). Until then ...
4Let Go of That Sweet, Sweet Anger
Nothing feels more satisfying than having baseless anger validated. It's why you smile when a politician you don't like gets caught up in some terrible scandal. It's one of the weirdest evolutionary developments to happen to the human brain. A new co-worker shows up at the office, and you make a split-second decision that you don't like him. Something about his face or the way he speaks or dresses fills you with venom, but you have no reason for having all of that animosity, so you keep quiet about it. Suddenly, you hear a story about this person leaving a mess in the bathroom, or finishing off the last of the coffee without refilling the pot, or drinking too much and acting rude at a company function, and then a part of your brain lights up and whispers Yes. We were right. We were right to hate this person, and now we don't have to be silent about it anymore. Now our hate can focus and burn bright. Yes.
Finally, all that arson feels justified.
[Real Talk Alert]
I get that way. I get angry a lot. I have a short temper. I'm always ready to fight. More than anything, I have rules. I have a strict, very black-and-white set of rules in my head, and if someone breaks one of those rules, even if the rule is stupid, even if I've unconsciously broken that rule myself in the past, even if I never explained the rule to anyone, I will hold a grudge. Passionately. I'm great at it.
It's my least favorite thing about myself.
Eventually I realized that none of the most positive moments in my life were centered on how angry I was at someone or something. I figured out that when I showed off photographs from some great party or some important milestone day in my life to friends, I didn't point out all of the people who weren't there because we were on bad terms at the time. I learned that none of my favorite anecdotes started with "I was still not speaking to [random person] when I went on [crazy adventure]." None of my greatest memories were made greater by the absence of people I was feuding with based on some perceived slight.
"Here's to all those fucks we didn't invite!"
But we're so good at feuding. How can it be a bad thing?
Your life won't be measured by how angry you can get. No one will eulogize you for your reputation as a dedicated grudge-holder, and if they do, you've failed.
You have to learn how to let go. You have to learn how to let go of the anger, even though cutting someone out of your life entirely might make everything appear simpler by virtue of the fact that you have one less person to humanize or care about. You have to learn how to let go of the anger, even though you have no cosmic guarantee that anyone else will let go of their anger. You have to learn how to let go of the anger, even though, when it burns brightest, it feels so fucking good.
Few things that "burn" make you healthier.
It's not as simple as making a decision. It's like anything else you want to be good at: You have to work at it. And, like anything else that takes work, you'll feel better when you master it.
3You Have to Be Jealous of Everything
It's not hard to see why jealousy stuck around, out of all the things that could have evolved within the human brain. You have your tribe, and you have things, but you worry that this other tribe might have more things or, worse yet, better things. You can't let that stand. For the good of your tribe -- for the good of you -- you need to hate the other tribe, resent them for what they have, and, if possible, take it.
"Their typhus and charred sticks are rightfully mine!"
We don't really live in tribes anymore, but we're still governed by jealousy. Sometimes it still inspires social bonding, or a bit of healthy tribe competition, but mostly it just makes one guy cranky at another guy because his Xbox is better.
I learned the most important lesson about jealousy from a comedian whose name I no longer remember, which is very unfortunate. She was speaking off the cuff about jealousy in some interview, and she said, "If you choose to be jealous of someone, you have to be jealous of everything." It sounds simple, and maybe you had that thought before, but you're much smarter than me. I'd never considered it, but it's important. The times that I'd been jealous, I'd been jealous of an opportunity that another person got. Or I'd been jealous of someone else's relationship. Or I'd been jealous of someone else's height, or rent, or patience, or ability to grow substantial facial hair, or any other damn thing. But you can't do that. You can't pick one thing to be jealous of. If you're going to be jealous of someone's nice car, you have to be jealous of everything else in that person's life. Are they living in a terrible apartment in a bad part of town to be able to pay for that car? Then you have to be jealous of that, too. Are they insecure enough that they think they need a nice car in order to be liked? Then you have to be jealous of that, too. It's not a straight trade. You don't get to trade your shortcomings for someone else's best assets. It's a package deal. It's the full suite, or it's nothing.
You can't be jealous of Chad's coke without also being jealous of his nosebleeds and frequent seizures.
Thinking about jealousy in that way was one of the healthiest decisions of my life. It turns petty jealousy into nothing, and it turns real jealousy into genuine awe.
For example, here is one of the greatest piano players in the world. He puts a cover song on YouTube once a week that he shoots in one take, with no rehearsals, playing from memory and by ear. Maybe you're jealous of his skill, but you need to remember, you have to be jealous of everything. So, if you covet his skill, you also have to covet the years he spent practicing and studying and learning instead of doing anything else.
Also, if you're jealous of his talent, you have to be jealous of his physical limitations, too. See, he got so good at the piano because he had a hard time moving around as a kid, because his entire lower torso was butt. No legs, just stacks of butt. Butts on butts. You may want his musical talents, but would you give up your legs? And replace them with butts?
He spends more on thongs than most people spend on rent.
[Editorial Note: For legal purposes, and in the interest of full disclosure, Cracked.com reports that the piano player in that video is Daniel's brother, and that his legs function and he isn't made up mostly of butt.]

Mobile payment app Square deal for retailers
- published_in
- The Edge
The owners of small boutiques, restaurants, food trucks and even stalls at farmers' markets are facing that quandary. Carrying paper money is a thing of the past for a growing number of customers, but accommodating them requires that businesses accept credit and debit cards.
Typically, that means getting a point-of-sale terminal from a company such as VeriFone or NCR and having to deal with the assorted costs and swipe fees from a credit card company. But new apps and devices for mobile phones are changing that.
The platform emerging as one of the most popular with Boulder-area businesses is called Square, which is developed by San Francisco-based Square Inc.
Square's most visible product is the Square Card Reader, a small device that enables iPhones, iPads and Android devices to accept credit cards.
As the name suggests, the device is a plastic square about the size of a key chain. It works by plugging it in to the headphone jack of a tablet or smartphone. Paired with Square's app, it allows anyone to run credit cards within minutes of installation.
Square's little readers increasingly are becoming prominent around Boulder, particularly around farmers' markets, said Matt Aboussie, owner of Wild Alaska Salmon LLC. His company sells wild-caught salmon online, to retailers including Alfalfa's and at farmers' markets.
Aboussie needs a mobile payment platform to sell to walk-up customers, and it also helps to be able to take credit cards when doing deliveries. He tried other systems, but they were buggy and the fees were "completely outrageous."
He switched to Square and hasn't looked back.
"It's a must have for me. It's super polished and smooth to operate," Aboussie said. "My employees can just log in and start running cards."
With a Square Card Reader, a clerk types in the amount to be charged on the device's touchscreen. The purchaser uses his or her finger to "sign" the virtual receipt on the screen, and the app can send a real receipt by email.
The more advanced version is Square Register, which works with the iPad and is a more robust point-of-sale system. Prices can be preloaded into the system, which tracks inventory, provides sales analytics and connects to a receipt printer and cash drawer.
Square is carving out a niche, in part because the company gives away readers. Square makes its money by charging 2.75 percent per swipe and can be used with Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
The low cost is making a difference, said Shannon Aten, owner of the Tasterie Truck, a food truck that sells pastries and desserts.
"I honestly think it's changed the way food trucks or mobile businesses can do business. The old systems were clunky and expensive and not practical for our purposes," Aten said. "It makes us more profitable, honestly."
About 1,000 Boulder-area businesses use Square, according to spokeswoman Lindsay Wiese. Boulder is one of the company's best markets, coming in the top five in the country on a per capita basis, Wiese said.
Square has emerged as the top name in mobile payments, in part because of the recent announcement that Starbucks will start using Square apps at its 7,000 stores this fall. But it won't have the field to itself.
Google and Microsoft are developing payment systems, and VeriFone and NCR have designed readers that can be added to smartphones and tablets.
Google and Microsoft are taking a different approach to mobile payments, developing mobile wallets that rely on the wireless capabilities of smartphones. In theory, they will allow consumers to get rid of "traditional" wallets.
They work by storing consumers' credit card information and transmitting it to retailers using near field communication technology. NFC-enabled smartphones require retailers to install small receivers to get the signal from customers.
Google Wallet is out and can be used at retailers with the MasterCard PayPass system. Microsoft reportedly is launching its wallet this fall.

I've been getting 3-4 oz each morning. We've had problems with him getting too much foremilk and having major gas problems and green poops since he was about two weeks old. He'll be six weeks old tomorrow and things are finally regulating I think. My question is this...will the milk that I pump in the morning be too much foremilk and make him extremely gassy again? When the milk sits before I put in the freezer, there is a slight layer of fat on the top, but just a little bit. I would hate to think that all the trouble I went through to get him milk would make him feel bad!!

Revision as of 17:45, 21 January 2011
The ships of the Portuguese and Spanish were perhaps the best of their time, the most sophisticated machines built in Europe, and the artifacts without which it is difficult to imagine the history of the New World.
And yet we have no theories on how they were created, nor on how they have evolved, filling in new niches, adapting to the requirements of new maritime routes, new cargoes, or new functions, adopting features from other ships, dropping features that ceased to be useful, or perceived as such.
We also lack theories to try to explain the evolution of these ships against the social, economical, and political background in which they were thought, conceived, built, and operated, in a fast changing world that witnessed the rise of the modern, centralized state in Europe.
It is believed that these were the best and most sophisticated ships of their times, but we know so little about them that we are not even sure whether there were any substantial differences between Spanish and Portuguese ships, and those of their enemies and friends.
The Project
This project was created in 2004 within the ShipLab to study the ships built in the Iberian Peninsula during the period of the European expansion, in the 15th through 17th centuries.
Its mission is the study and divulgation of the evolution of ocean going Iberian ships in comparison with the contemporary ships of other European nations.
Preliminary results and research questions have been presented at the 2006 Society for Historical Archaeology Annual Meeting, which took place in Sacramento, on the 15th of January. The symposium was titled "Edge of Empire."
The communications presented at this symposium were published in a book edited by Filipe Castro and Katie Custer.
This project is a continuation of the work started by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology in the late 1970s, with the excavation of the Portuguese frigate Santo António de Taná in Mombasa, Kenya, under the direction of Robin Piercy and Jeremy Green.
Research on Iberian seafaring was continued by INA Explorers' Team EXPLADISC, whose work in the 1980s and early 1990s set the foundations for the study of Iberian seafaring and shipbuilding from the archaeological viewpoint.
This project is therefore opened to anybody interested. All information that may help us keep information as complete and accurate as possible is welcome.
The study of the Iberian expansion of the 15th and 16th centuries has been the subject of perhaps thousands of books. Scholars know quite well the intellectual environment in which the voyages of exploration and colonization were planned and carried out, the difficulties encountered by sailors trying to find their way on open sea, the instruments and calculations available to estimate the ship's latitude and longitude at sea, and the incredible skills of fifteenth century map makers.
Art historians have studied the tastes, the artistic trends and the architectural styles that determined the landscape and have a fair idea of which paintings and tapestries they hung on their walls, the images they worshiped, the music they listened to, their theater plays, poems and favorite fiction. Their material culture is also fairly well known to us. Archaeologists have uncovered their daily life artifacts everywhere; they have established chronologies for styles, trends and fashions in furniture, pottery, glass wares, table wares, clothes, jewelry and weapons for the entire period of the European expansion overseas.
However, their ships are almost completely unknown to us. There is no solid knowledge about these ships besides the countless amateur reconstructions that have populated our imagination since the late 19th century.
There are no complete written descriptions of these vessels, the iconographical evidence is scarce and not always reliable, and most of the archaeological sites have been either destroyed by looters and treasure hunters, or never published by the archaeologists that have excavated them.
State bureaucrats all around the World have shown little interest in the protection of these ships, and an unknown number has been destroyed forever, by looters, treasure hunters, and archaeologists. Most ships built in the Iberian Peninsula in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries have been destroyed by looters and treasure hunters.
Most Iberian shipwrecks have been savaged by treasure hunters in search of artifacts with market value and short term profit. Often times looters and treasure hunters destroy these ships without ever letting a single word about them transpire, and many archaeologists never publish the results of their excavations.
This is a long term project that will hopefelly include the cooperation of scholars from many different disciplines. Since 2005 the ShipLab has been working with Secção Autónoma de Engenharia Naval of Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal.
In 2007 the Group grew again to encompass scholars from another three institutions: the Centro de História da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa, the Centro de Estudos do Mar da Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa, and the Direcção de Projecto Ciência e Descobrimentos / Câmara Municipal de Lagos.
This project is possible through the generous support of Dr. and Mrs. Peter Amaral, the Luso-American Foundation, The Institute of Nautical Archaeology, and CMAC.

- Statistical mechanical model of cell membrane ion channels in electric fields: the mean-field approximation
- Author(s)
- Yang, Y. S.; Thompson, C. J.; Anderson, V.; Wood, A. W.
- Abstract
- A statistical mechanical model of cell membrane ion channels is proposed which incorporates interactions between ion channels and external electric fields. The model provides a physical explanation of trans-membrane ion transport. Under a mean-field approximation, the maximum fractions of open potassium and sodium channels are obtained by solving a self-consistent nonlinear algebraic equation. Using known parameters for the squid giant axon, the model gives excellent agreement with experimental measurements for potassium and sodium trans-membrane conductance. The numerical results imply that the chemical potential of open channels and the interaction energy between channels are well above the thermal noise.

Flourless Sugar-Free Pistachio Cookies
(Makes 40-50 small cookies, recipe adapted from II Viaggio Di Vetri: A Culinary Journey, found via The Italian Dish.)
3/4 cup (4 oz.) shelled pistachio nuts, plus about 50 nuts to garnish top of cookies (I used dry-roasted pistachio kernels from Costco)
2 T plus 1 cup Splenda or Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener (or use a blend of Splenda/Stevia and sugar or all sugar if you prefer and don't care if it's sugar free)
1 2/3 cup almond meal or almond flour
2 eggs, beaten well
Add the almond meal and cup of sweetener and mix until well combined. Then add eggs and mix until completely blended into dry ingredients. Remove mixture from food process or mixer bowl and chill at least 8 hours. (I chilled it overnight and baked the cookies the next day.)
Preheat the oven to 325F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop a small spoonfuls of dough and roll between your hands to make a small ball about an inch in diameter. (I used a teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop out the dough.) Put each ball on the parchment, smash down slightly, then press one pistachio into the center.
Bake cookies until they are lightly browned on the edges, about 12-15 minutes in my toaster oven. Let cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheet, then transfer to cooling rack or dish towel and let cool.
My cookies didn't spread out much, probably due to the denser texture from the almond meal. Seems to me this recipe would also be very adaptable to other types of nuts; I'd love to know if anyone tries some variations.
