text: FTM and I am trying not to give up on breastfeeding. I have been supplementing with formula because in the hospital my son has one rough day with breastfeeding. My milk came in the next few days after I got home and I was able to get a total of 4-5 oz total out of both breasts. My family was here and we were out doing things and I was unable to pump/feed as much as I was supposed to. It has been a few days later and now I am only able to get 1-2oz out of both breast. I do not want to give up and I have been pumpin more freq and attempting breastfeeding more with my son. I am looking for any help on how I can get my milk supply back up again. I have been stripping my son down and doing the skin to skin contact but I am really worried I am not going to have success. I appreciate any info. Thank You!

The major objectives of this study were to examine: (1) the types of recycled materials that are appropriate and feasible as alternative paving materials such as glass and tires; and (2) the types of recycled materials, such as mixed-plastics and compost, that can be utilized in all types of transportation applications other than pavements.
Seven key products are investigated: tires; glass; asphalt concrete fly ash; compost; mixed plastics; and sign stock. Performance and cost data for pavements is documented for both in-state and nationwide applications. The national experience 'with the use of waste glass as an additive to asphalt concrete and its use in unbound base material is so highlighted.
Programs for experimental use of recycled material are outlined. Recommendations for staffing and program changes to deal with recycling are also discussed.

A family feud turns violent on the Big Island.
A brother and sister are injured, allegedly at the hands of their father. That man is now under arrest.
Police were called to a Mountain View home Monday night for a domestic dispute that neighbors said was loud and violent.
"I heard him yelling 'I'm going to kill you'. He had full on rage. I heard him hitting something, and he just kept screaming 'I am going to kill you,'" said neighbor John Silva.
Neighbors said Jonathon Rodrigues Sr was the one screaming as he attacked his son Jonathon Rodrigues Jr.
The 24-year-old sustained serious injuries, but police officers said when they arrived he took off into the forest.
"His sister called me to look for her brother cause the dad chopped him with a machete. He ran into the bushes, and she didn't want him to bleed to death," said neighbor Tasha Nihipali.
"The son went through the bushes to a friends house and called 911," added Silva.
Rodrigues Jr. went to the hospital with numerous injuries to his head, body and hands.
There were so many that he didn't even know how many stitches he received.
He also said he doesn't remember what prompted his father's attack.
"I totally forget. You know, I was drunk so I don't know," said Rodrigues Jr.
Witnesses said the 24-year-old man was not the only one injured. Rodrigues Sr. also reportedly attacked his daughter.
"He cut the son, and then the daughter because she tried to stop him. She got a cut on her hand," said Silva.
According to police, the elder Rodrigues also threatened officers Tuesday morning.
After police surrounded his home, the Mountain View resident came out with a rifle and pointed it at officers.
Rodrigues Sr. was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault and terroristic threats.
Rodrigues Jr. was also arrested Tuesday morning, after being released from the hospital, for two unrelated contempt of court warrants.

US Birth Rate Hits New Low – A Nation of Singles
December 21, 2012
Today's OTB is not directly about the economy or investment, but rather about a key demographic shift that will certainly have a major effect on both. I have a somewhat different take on the shift than our author, my very-long-time friend Gary D. Halbert (founder of ProFutures and former business partner from the '90s); and I will be writing about this next year. There is a significant transformation going on in my thinking about how the political world in the US (and, I suspect, much of Europe as well) impacts the economy.
The real eye-opener here is Gary's reporting of the role of singles, rather than what is happening with the birth rate and fertility rate, although those are important too. As a surging percentage of US voters, singles are a game changer. They see the world differently in terms of their own personal security and the future – or at least that is how they vote.
To get a sense of how powerful the marriage effect is, not just for women but for men, too, look at the exit polls by marital status. Among non-married voters – people who are single and have never married, are living with a partner, or are divorced – Obama beat Romney 62-35. Among married voters Romney won the vote handily, 56-42.
OK, we all kind of knew that singles as a group favored Obama. But by that much? Singles are a new and rapidly rising part of the population that has not been well accounted for demographically, and that is the real import of what Gary shows us. I can tell you how many women will be eligible to vote in 2030, for instance, but there is nothing in the birth rate to predict the number of singles we'll have. That is shifting, and in terms of voting patterns that shift (at least so far) is large.
This piece gives us quite a bit to think about as we contemplate how our entitlement programs and taxes will eventually settle out. The trends Gary describes are part and parcel of our national dysfunctionality. We want maximal healthcare and minimal taxes – at least on 98% of us. Healthcare benefits have to be paid for by someone; and that trade-off is going to be large in terms not just of taxes but also how capital formation, productivity, and employment are affected. It is hard to overstate the implications of how healthcare demographics will affect the economy.
As I write this note, the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping and planning are going on all around me. My family will celebrate Christmas together on the 26th, so I can have all my seven kids and their families in one place under my roof.
I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year. I will be writing a short note for Thoughts from the Frontline this weekend, and then start to think about roasting a prime, rather than prime rates, for a few days.

BMF Viewing Party
Last night, Coop invited me to trek uptown to the Upper West Side to join Brooklyn Met Fan Adam and some of his commenting crew to watch the Mets (unfortunately) lose to the Astros. Coop had a feeling that Pelfrey would pitch a blow-out game. I had a feeling the boys would bring the bats for him. We were both what's called "incorrect."
Apparently, someone waved a magic Wandy and all our offense went *poof.*
But the food, drinks, and company were swell, so here are a couple pics. The BMF crew turn out to be pretty darn nice folks–even the poor, beleaguered Phillies fan. You can find more pics in this year's first Pick Me Up Some Mets photo album. Hot!
Me, Coop, and SNK–a new member of what Coop calls the "Mets Divas."
BMF (far left) and crew.
Okay, boys. Play hard tonight. Pretty please.

Awwww, look at the cute pics! I guess I was feeling a little good then, since when I got home I hurled!!! UGH. Didn't even think I drank that much. Oh well, it was fun hanging out with everyone, although it was a mets loss.
Great pics, Zoe. Was pleasure to meet you. Will order your book for my wife.

Eastland Solstice Boat Shoe
"This is by far the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn."

So Comfy!
"These shoes are so comfortable to wear. They have wonderful cushions in the soles that allow you to wear them all day. The fun pastel colors make it very unique. It was slightly snug when I wore it the first time, but the ties allow you to loosen or tighten as you see fit. Definitely a great purchase!"

I walk everyday for my job.
"I used to have those cute flats when I worked in an office. I got a new job requires me to work in the field every day. I have to be walking constantly. My old Liz Claiborne ripped and I got these new pairs yesterday. Very true to my size, great quality, and it's a lot cheaper than Sperry."

Cute shoes, but ...
"These shoes were very cute, but unfortunately a little tight. I don't have particularly wide feet, so I would caution those who do to maybe purchase these a size bigger than they normally would wear."

WAYNE AND PIKE COUNTIES, PA — New Manure Management Regulations and Erosion Control Regulations related to agriculture have been established in Pennsylvania requiring all owners of farm animals and livestock to develop a plan for the safe disposal of animal waste. The requirement is meant to protect Commonwealth waters. Fortunately for residents of Wayne and Pike counties, help is on the way with two upcoming workshops hosted by the Wayne Conservation District (WCD).
According to PA Department of Agriculture staff, no matter the number of animals owned, Manure Management Plans (MMP) must be developed pursuant to Chapter 91 regulations relating to water quality.
Along with the development of an MMP, agricultural producers who conduct plowing and tilling or have animal concentration areas (where animals have removed the vegetation, as depicted in the photo at right) will also need to develop a Conservation Plan or Agriculture Erosion and Sediment Control (E&S) Plan. This requirement stems from a November 19, 2010 revision to Chapter 102, Erosion Control Regulations of the PA Clean Streams Law.
In order to ensure that residents who farm or land apply manure are in compliance, the WCD will host training sessions on the new regulations on February 25 for equine and non-traditional farm animals at 12:30 p.m. and on March 1 for dairy and beef producers at 12:30 and 6:30 p.m. The sessions will be held at the Park Street Complex on Route 6 in Honesdale.
Experts from the Department of Agriculture, Department of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Conservation Service will speak and answer questions. Copies of the new manual are available at the WCD District Office at the Park Street Complex and will be provided to attendees. Subjects to be discussed are the new regulations, winter application, manure storage and Agriculture E&S Plans. It is possible for attendees to leave the training with a completed plan.
A new user-friendly mapping program called PA Onestop is also available to farmers. The program enables users to easily map farms and cropland, mark watercourses and define setbacks and sensitive areas.
Some producers have expressed concerns about the regulations and the effect on their operations.
According to WCD manager Robert Muller, creating a plan with the help of the manual is a simple process that is not meant to be expensive or extensive. "It's meant to make you think about where and how you're applying manure," said Muller. "It might seem intimidating, but only a small portion of the document is devoted to the plan. When you go through the charts, you'll know whether you're over or under-applying a field."
Addressing equine manure management is new and has already stirred some worries, but WCD staff hope to alleviate this by helping horse owners to develop plans that ultimately benefit both the environment and the animals.
There is no fee to attend the workshops and lunch will be provided. Reservations should be made by contacting Heidi Ferber, WCD nutrient management specialist, at email@example.com [1] or 570/253-0930. If unable to attend, copies of the manual can be obtained at the WCD office, or at the WCD booth at Dairy Days in the Honesdale High School on February 20, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Materials are also available online at www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=554281&mode=2 [2].

Residents of the Powell-Hood-Hamilton neighborhood want to have a role in revitalizing the community.
They made their opinions and ideas heard at a meeting hosted by the city and Gundersen Lutheran.
Last night, consultants shared their plan for the neighborhood and opened the floor for residents to give their input.
Based on the response, there's not doubt the residents are passionate about the future.
"Change is a painful thing to most people," said Powell-Hood-Hamilton landlord Pat Lawrynk.
It's also the key to improvement.
"I'd like to see it do well, ergo everybody does well, you know,"said Lawrynk.
Lawrynk owns a building in the Powell-Hood-Hamilton neighborhood.
"It's a neat neighborhood. It really is. It's got history. It's got more potential. Are there problems? Probably," said Lawrynk.
He came out to Thursday night's meeting to pitch in his ideas for how to bring positive change to the neighborhood, and he wasn't alone.
"I'd like to see more retail options in the neighborhood. There's nowhere to get groceries," said Hannah Burcham, a Powell-Hood-Hamilton resident of 12 years.
"I work all over the country. In fact, I work all over the world, and these two meetings in La Crosse have been more well-attended than any meetings I've been to in years," said David Green with Perkins and Will.
Perkins and Will was hired by Gundersen Lutheran and the city and spent time sharing plans for how to revitalize the neighborhood.
"The three things that have to happen is the reinforcement of an expanded framework so there's a higher level of connectivity between the neighborhood, the medical district, the slough, the potential future park on Isle La Plume and up into the broader cities so it connects to the West and to the North to create a more vibrant district within a larger urban area," said Green.
"We discussed a lot about streets, green areas, parks, walkways, interconnecting this that and the other thing down the line," said Lawrynk.
But no matter what improvements are decided on, one thing won't change.
"The people that have been here for so long have to remain. They are the heart of the neighborhood and we have to provide policies and strategies that allow those people to remain without causing economic hardship," said Green.
"I think the people are very proud of their neighborhood and unfortunately there has been a stigma to the neighborhood that is undeserved, but they're proud of their neighborhood and they want to see it grow," said Michael Richards, executive director of Gundersen Lutheran's External Affairs Department.
The consultants are taking what they heard in the meeting on Thursday to help draw up preliminary plans they will present to the community on Saturday.
The next public information meeting will at 10 a.m Saturday.
It will be held at the Southside Neighborhood Center.

Style Snafus1 of 17
One of our resolutions for the new year is to look our best. It's too easy to fall into a style rut, so here are the biggest style sins (that we've all been guilty of committing), and how to avoid them.
Blindly Following Trends2 of 17
Sometimes what you see in fashion magazines and on runways is just not for you. Shop with a friend whose opinion you trust and who will be honest with you when you're trying to pair a '70s inspired jumpsuit with an oversize furry vest.
Try New Things3 of 17
Look for pieces that accent your personal style instead of changing your whole look from head-to-toe with every season. A few new basics-with-a-twist will make you feel like you have a brand new wardrobe.
One Size Does Not Fit All4 of 17
Whether you are trying to hide a figure flaw or you've fallen in love with a certain item that just doesn't come in your size, this is one of the biggest style mistakes that everyone makes.
Tailor Made5 of 17
Experiment with different styles and fits until you find what works for you and then stick with it. Clothing that fits properly will always make you look pulled-together in any situation no matter what your size or shape is.
Color Blind6 of 17
Wearing the same color from head-to-toe is usually a recipe for disaster. If your outfit involves pants, a top and accessories (which most do) stay away from this look.
Monochromatic Moment7 of 17
The only way to pull this off is in a solid colored dress which will keep your look sleek and chic.
Fit Wit8 of 17
Finding jeans that fit can be a challenge, but it's worth trying on as many pairs as it takes to find the shape that looks best on your body. Don't settle for the first pair you try on as this closet staple is the building block of so many wardrobes.
Jean Queen9 of 17
Once you do find that shape, stick with it, and consider buying more than one pair of the same style.
Printing Problem10 of 17
Prints are hot this season, but wearing them together is not easy to do. When in doubt, it's probably best to put down one printed item and make the switch to a solid.
Mix Master11 of 17
This tricky trend can be mastered by pairing different scales of similar prints, like a large scale floral with a mini floral or a large scale stripe with smaller stripes. Another tip: keep your prints in the same color family to minimize a dizzying effect.
Under Where?12 of 17
Even if you are a "rock star" nobody wants to see your undergarments on display every day. This look is just plain trashy unless you are on stage (and even then...)
Hidden Agenda13 of 17
The best undergarments are those that you don't see. Ask an expert like the salesperson in the lingerie department to help you find styles that fit right so you don't expose bra straps or pesky panty lines.
Gym Rat14 of 17
OK, we all love our sneakers but there is a time and a place for them. There are plenty of comfortable and cute shoes out there, so don't pair your sneaks with a suit or a dressy outfit.
Sneaker Chic15 of 17
Save your lace-ups for the weekends and wear them with other casual basics like rolled jeans or shorts.
Totally Fabricated16 of 17
With so much fast-fashion these days (think H&M, Zara and Forever 21) it's tempting to grab an armful of clothes for the same price as one good piece. The problem is that cheap fabrics and manufacturing don't last, so it's better to invest in a few pieces every season that will hold up for years to come.
Well Made17 of 17
Quality fabrics and garments are made better which is why they look better, therefore they are worth spending a bit more money on.

You Too Can Haiku Winner – Oct 13
Congratulations to this week's winner, Mary Ladd!
Said it was Tony!
You didn't believe me!
Give me a cookie!!
This haiku needs a bit of context. Mary, a former St. Louisan and casual Cards fan, was watching this post-game coverage with me. A guy with a towell over his head was getting sprayed with champagne by the players. I said, "Is that Tony? Nah, it can't be." It just seemed out of character for him. I figured he'd already have ensconced himself in the video room to prepare for the Mets. But Mary was sure it was Tony, and as this photo shows, she was right. Check out Mary's funny new blog about Cher and life in general, which includes a recent post on the Cory Lidle tragedy.
1 Comment
Whoohooo! I am so proud to have won this week's challenge…not just for my controversial in-you-face haiku style but for my prowess at guessing Tony by just a buttress of nose jutting out of a blue towel…and the fact that his body language told me he *still* wasn't smiling even as champaigne was running down his neck and into his armpits.

Caring for a loved one can be stressful. It can interfere with your work, your personal relationships, and even your ability to care for your loved one. If you are struggling, hospice may be the answer.
Hospice can provide comfort to your loved one, skilled care, and nursing visits. It can even help your family with things like supplies, equipment and hospice medications.
How Gentiva Hospice Services Work
Under the direction of a physician, our interdisciplinary team of clinicians offers a special kind of caring that encompasses the medical, social, emotional, and spiritual aspects of treatment.
Our hospice provides:
24/7 availability, nurse on call
Having a nurse on call gives you peace of mind and a trusted resource that can relieve stress.
Medical equipment covered and delivered
All medical equipment related to the hospice diagnosis is covered. And delivered
Prescriptions related to hospice illness covered
With hospice, all medications related to the hospice diagnosis are covered under the Medicare Benefit.
Incontinence and other supplies covered
All supplies related to the hospice diagnosis, such as adult briefs, are covered.
Hospice Aide helps with personal care
Our aide provides a valuable service by assisting with personal care such as bathing and dressing.
Volunteers help enrich patient's life
A hospice volunteer can provide relief for the caregiver and allow them to focus on other issues if needed.
Emotional support and education
One of the greatest benefits of hospice care for the caregiver is the emotional support and education provided by the entire hospice team.
What Does Hospice Cost?
Most of our hospice services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and many insurance companies. You can also pay privately, but you will never be turned away for inability to pay. Our staff can assist patients, families, and physicians in determining eligibility and researching all available options.
The Right Care at the Right Time
With home health and hospice together, our clinicians are trained to get your loved one in the right setting. If your loved one is not ready for hospice yet, they may benefit from home health services. You can also contact us without being completely sure what kind of care they need, and know that we have the expertise to guide you.

Sodium and High Blood PressureSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Eating a lot of sodium is linked with high blood pressure and problems in the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels.
Reducing sodium in the diet can prevent high blood pressure in those at risk for the disease and can help control high blood pressure. Limiting sodium is part of a heart-healthy eating plan that can help prevent heart disease and stroke.
Try to eat less than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease, if you are African-American, or if you are older than age 50, try to limit the amount of sodium you eat to less than 1,500 mg a day.footnote 1

Show me the moneyDecember 12,2012The annual IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum, held last week in Midtown Manhattan, is the kind of meeting where football games are routinely described as product, television networks are distribution channels, and rooting for State U. is an example of brand loyalty. The university presidents, conference commissioners, athletic directors and corporate marketers who attend spend very little time mouthing the usual pieties about how the student-athlete comes first. Rather, they gather each year to talk bluntly about making money.
Did you know, for instance, that college football was the top-rated program on four of the five Saturday nights that it aired in 2012? That consumers spent more than $4.5 billion on college sports merchandise in 2011? That more than 20 million college sports fans earn $100,000 a year? That is the sort of thing you learn at the conference (which IMG, a giant sports marketing firm, co-runs with Sports Business Journal.)
Take, for instance, the new college football playoff system that will begin in 2014. You might have thought that the big issue is that only four schools will get to participate so there is still going to be a lot of dissension of who gets in and who doesnt.
But no, that wasnt it at all. The college sports executives were perfectly sanguine about the likelihood of controversy; it would help drive ratings. The real issue is how to divvy up the $470 million that ESPN has agreed to pay annually for the right to televise the playoffs. The smaller schools all want a bigger piece of the pie, said Wood Selig, the athletic director at Old Dominion University. Good luck with that, Wood.
Universities switching conferences so-called conference realignment was a constant topic of conversation. With conference realignment, there isnt even a pretense that it is about anything but the money. Just a few weeks ago, the University of Maryland and Rutgers joined the Big Ten, which now has 14 schools. Though neither school is what you would call a football power, they give the Big Ten, which has its own cable network, entree into the New York and Washington media markets. So what if it means increased travel demands on the athletes?
Meanwhile, Maryland has its own issues: Its athletic department is broke. Having failed miserably at ramping up its football program, it had to cut seven sports and was facing a large deficit. It was in such a hurry to move to the Big Ten and get hold of its bigger pot of television money that it didnt even tell the other schools in its old conference, the ACC, that it was bolting. When someone asked how Maryland could afford the ACCs $50 million exit fee, the answer came back: The exit fee was probably unenforceable. Who knew conferences had exit fees?
Like businessmen everywhere, the college sports executives bemoaned the high cost of doing business these days. Multimillion-dollar salaries for coaches had gotten out of hand, it was generally conceded. Even worse were the buyouts being paid to fired coaches. Auburn had recently fired its football staff and faced the prospect of paying out $11 million in contractually obligated buyouts to its former coaches. And the University of Tennessee had paid $5 million to get rid of its football coach, Derek Dooley, after three losing seasons.
Indeed, Tennessee had already paid out a $6 million buyout to another former football coach, Phillip Fulmer as well as to a former baseball coach and an ex-basketball coach. The buyouts at Tennessee for coaches totaled at least $9 million. When the athletic director, Mike Hamilton, finally resigned in June 2011 with the athletic department on track to lose $4 million that fiscal year he got, naturally, a big buyout. You will perhaps not be surprised to learn that the athletic department has been forced to suspend an annual $6 million payment it made to support the academic side of the university. This at a school where the state has cut its funding by 21 percent since 2008.
At the IMG conference, the participants made it sound as if they were helpless in the face of these outlandish salaries and buyouts. If they didnt sign coaches to four- or five-year deals, they wouldnt be able to attract recruits, they moaned.
If they didnt give their coach a raise when a high-profile job opened up, they risked losing the coach. Several panelists suggested that the only sure way to cut back on coaches compensation would be to amend the nations antitrust laws to allow universities to band together and cap coaches pay.
Well, yes, I suppose thats one way of doing it. Another way, of course, would be for college presidents to show some backbone and say no.
Fat chance.

Does your car's trunk make more noise than its motor? Does standing on the epicenter of a medium earthquake give you that warm, fuzzy feeling in your stomach? Does your 5.1 sound system consist of five subs and one tweeter?
If the answer to any of the questions above is 'yes', then you might want to read forum member Illusion's shootout of three of the most popular basshead IEMs currently available. Fret not, Illusion knows what he's talking about. His review is not about bass quantity alone – it's about overall quality/musicality, with special focus on our beloved earth-shattering subharmonics. All three phones reviewed are around the $80 price range – well worth the price of admission, compared to the uncontrolled, bloated midbass you get from some shabby $20 Skullcandy fart cannons, or similar.
If you're not afraid by now, head over to the forum thread for the full review, while I listen to some Dubstep on my Etymotic ER-4.

Pakistani officials have confirmed the arrest of a former militant leader who they say took part in the kidnapping and killing of Daniel Pearl in Karachi 11 years ago.
Editor's note: This story includes a correction.
ISLAMABAD -- A suspect has been captured in connection with the 2002 murder of U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl, Pakistani officials said Tuesday.
A spokesman for Pakistan's Inter Services Public Relations Directorate confirmed the arrest by a paramilitary unit known as the Sindh Rangers and said the suspect had been transferred to police custody.
Qari Abdul Hayee, who is also known as Asadullah, had been sought in connection with terrorist activities dating back almost two decades, including his suspected involvement in Pearl's slaying.
Saeed was apprehended in a "covert joint intelligence operation where street intelligence, signals intelligence, agents as well as his own associates spilling the beans led us to him," according to the Sindh Rangers' operational commander who led the raid.
Pearl, 38, was South Asia bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal and was researching a story about Islamist militants when he was abducted and beheaded in January 2002.
Saeed is notorious for being the former religious leader of the Karachi chapter of the feared Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (The Army of Jhang), a hardline-Sunni militant group that has targeted Pakistan's Shiite minority and become an ally of the Pakistani Taliban.
A military profile of Saeed shared with NBC News shows the alleged depth of his almost two decades of participation in organized militancy. It accuses him of organizing prison breakouts, attempting to kidnap former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's family, planning a foiled suicide attack on a hotel in Karachi where American soldiers were lodge as well as Pearl's murder.
Saeed had also been the subject of a manhunt launched because of his suspected involvement in a recent bombing in the Shiite-majority Abbas Town district of Karachi that killed almost 50 residents and destroyed entire blocks of apartments.
Pearl's parents, Judea and Ruth Pearl, said in a statement released Monday: "We are gratified with this latest arrest and hope that justice will be served in a timely manner on all of those who were involved in the abduction and murder of our son, Danny."

If you've just given birth to multiples (twins, triplets, quads or more!), you're blessed with that much more love and joy, but also that much more work. You need to figure out how you're going to reorganize and reprioritize so that you, your babies, your partner, and your family thrives in the coming months and years.
Don't expect yourself to stay on a normal schedule of three meals a day and sleeping at night. Before you do anything, ask yourself: does this absolutely have to be done? Can someone else do this for me? Sleep when your babies do and eat when you need to - maybe six times a day rather than three. Rearrange your house for convenience. Attach your babies' crib to your bed so that when they wake up in the middle of the night for a feeding, you don't need to even get up out of bed. Consider putting a small refrigerator in the nursery to hold extra formula or pumped breastmilk; set up a changing area wherever you'll need it; and turn your living room into a fenced-off, safe play area in which you can let your babies play and explore. Make the space you live in work for your life right now. You can worry abut getting back to normal when your babies are less dependent on you and you feel up to having people over.
Friends, family, and neighbors you will probably be willing to make a meal, bathe a baby, run an errand, take an older child to a movie, clean the kitchen, or do any other little errands or tasks to help you out. Creating a support network around you and your babies is an important step in being able to manage everything. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Community service centers can also be great resources.
Ask friends and family for understanding in the next few months as you won't necessarily have time to send birthday gifts, Christmas cards, and all the other niceties. Let them know you are thinking about them even though you can't attend their party or mark the occasion with a card or gift. You will again soon, but not now.
Take care of yourself! Your first instinct will probably be to take care of your babies, your partner, the house, meals, everyone and everything else, and finally yourself, if you have any time or energy left over. A better option is to take care of your babies and yourself and to do as little else as possible. You need to eat well and rest so that you will be strong enough to be a good mom.
A few weeks after birth, you can start exercising again. Just taking one solo 20-minute walk each day can be a great help to you clear your head, relax a bit, and rejuvinate. It's also a good excuse to get out of the house. Call up a friend and do a little socializing while you are walking. It may be hard to collect yourself, your babies, and all their gear to leave the house, but it's well worth it. You will be able to maintain your sanity and your energy much better with fresh air and adult companionship.
It's also a good idea to trade off parenting respsonsibilities with your partner. This will give each of you an opportunity to go off on your own for a walk, a drive, a nap, a facial, whatever. Taking care of multiple infants can be overwhelming. Work together to help each other from getting burnt out and overstressed. If you can, ask a friend, family member, or trusted neighbor to watch the babies for an hour or so once a week so you and your partner can get out alone, together. Go to a restaurant, or sit in a park and laugh at the craziness of your life right now. Acknowledge that you love each other, appreciate each other, and support each other through all the diapers, feedings, spit-up, and spills.

Terrie's Take is a selection of Japan-centric news collected and collated by long-time resident and media business professional Terrie Lloyd. AkihabaraNews is pleased to present Terrie's learned perspective; we all could use another take on the news - here's Terrie's:
Superconductivity, ultrasound, microbubbles, and mechanical dynamics
At Keio University, the Sugiura Laboratory, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (Faculty of Science and Technology) is investigating various phenomena through analysis and experiment. These phenomena involve coupling between electromagnetics and mechanical dynamics, as well as nonlinear dynamics. Currently, the researchers are focusing on three topics. The first is nonlinear oscillations in superconductive magnetic suspension systems. In such systems, objects are levitated, so energy loss due to friction is very low.

Tuesday, General Motors named Mary Barra as chief executive, making her one of only 23 women to head Fortune 500 companies. According to the Washington Post, this appointment also makes Barra "the first woman to rise to the top of the male-dominated world of US auto manufacturing."
Barra began her career at GM in 1980, and since then, she has held a number of positions in manufacturing, engineering, and senior staff. Most recently, Barra had been executive vice president, global product development and global purchasing and supply chain.
In a press release, GM reports that Barra is a leader in the company's ongoing turnaround, revitalizing GM's product development process resulting in the launch of critically acclaimed new products while delivering record product quality ratings and higher customer satisfaction.
Examining the media stories, you can start to see why the Barra appointment is still making news days later. "It indicates the openness of even the most traditional corporations to look for leadership from all sources, including from women," said Marcia D. Greenberger, copresident of the National Women's Law Center, in the Washington Post. "I think it is particularly heartening to see a corporation like GM do that, not because of the traditional image we have of the male CEO at car companies, but also because of its global reach."
According to Catalyst, a research organization focused on women in business, only 24.2 percent of jobs in the motor vehicles and motor vehicles equipment manufacturing industry in 2012 were held by women. Further, only 11.5 percent of corporate officers in this industry are women.
Barra's appointment also comes the same week as the US federal government announcing the sale of its final GM shares, which during the worldwide financial crisis kept the corporation from folding. According to the Washington Post, "the company has emerged leaner and highly profitable in the years since."
Changing the dynamic
It's clear why the news is focused on Barra's gender—because it's still uncommon to have a woman in that kind of leadership position. But to us at APICS, it's also interesting to note Barra's past position as the head of the corporation's supply chain. Together with its partners, GM produces vehicles in 30 countries.
I think Barra's meteoric rise, including as head of supply chain, indicates company leaders are catching on to something we in supply chain and operations management have known for a long time: Supply chain is a strategic advantage for corporate success. Likewise, bringing supply chain knowledge into the c-suite is beneficial.
Consider one of the talents for which Barra is praised in the GM press release—delivering high quality ratings. In the APICS Operations Management Body of Knowledge (OMBOK) Framework, quality is defined as follows: "Quality has two major components: quality of conformance, or the quality defined by the absence of defects; and the quality of design, or the quality measured by the degree of customer satisfaction with a product's characteristics and features."
Of course, bringing together a diverse team of employees is vitally important to business success. That's a topic we explored during the World Café and the Women in Supply Chain panel at APICS 2013. We continue to study this topic to see how we can encourage a diverse workforce in supply chain and operations management.
With all of this in mind, are you able to connect your everyday tasks to the success of your organization and, ultimately, your career? APICS can help you make those connections and advance your organization. Visit apics.org to see how you can get started.

For Debbie, High School was never easy. She was dyslexic, so reading and writing was an unusual hardship. She failed to obtain a college scholarship, and since her parents were poor immigrants, she was unable to go any further with her academics.
Instead, Debbie got married young and became a stay-at-home mother. Secretly, she longed to be a romance novelist, but the difficulties of writing and her duties of motherhood made it seem like an unreachable dream.
Then Debbie's world changed when her much loved cousin David became stricken with leukemia. Zig Ziglar describes what happened in his book Better Than Good: Creating a Life You Can't Wait to Live:
Though she didn't realize it at the time, a defining moment had occurred before David's death when she went to see him at the cancer center where he was receiving treatment. As a dyslexic, she had difficulty reading the directional signs and finding her way into the hospital. After wandering around in frustration for a while, she stopped a doctor and asked him for directions. His answer changed her life. He said,"Go all the way down this corridor and take the first right. Then walk through the doors marked 'ABSOLUTELY NO ADMITTANCE.'"
Debbie says now that she has spent the rest of her life walking through closed doors – because she discovered that day she could.
From that experience, she decided to pursue her dream of penning romance novels. With the blessing of her husband, she began honing her craft while her children were away at school.
Debbie recounts her experiences:
"Rejections came so fast, she said, "I [felt] that sometimes they'd hit me in the back of the head on the way back from mailing off another proposal at the post office." Her list of rejections was impressive, but after five long years she finally got her first book published.
Debbie Macomber is now a #1 New York Times bestselling author who has more than 130 million books in print worldwide. She is the first-ever recipient of the "readers' choice" Quill Award for Romance Fiction and numerous other prestigious awards.
Now ask yourself: What closed doors could you be walking through?

hmmm....just looked at Stevenson's shooting numbers....same deal just switch Q Richardson for Stevenson plus Chris Copeland to make numbers work minus 2nd rounder because Orlando would love to shed this contract early.
Not even October and already moves are coming to mind
I think I Know it all poster:"can we just see how this team does first before we start talking about making moves"
New New York: "Shut up you idiot and have fun!"
3 Team Trade w/ Phoenix and ATL
JR Smith to Suns for Second rounder
Second rounder and Kurt Thomas to ATL for Deshawn Stevenson
ATL is trying to bottom out and a early to mid second rounder plus an expiring contract (although Stevenson is a team option) fits that direction.
Phoenix adds another cheap player who can score for them...if JR is telling the truth about there being teams who went after him this off season Phoenix was probably one of them and they would've offered more so they get a much needed scoring SG for cheap
For The Knicks this upgrades our D at the backup SG while losing the athleticism but not in shooting.
Could you imagine Shump,Brewer and Stephenson on the perimeter!!! Not to mention having 3 very important role players from Mavs title run in Kidd Chandler and Stephenson.
Imagine going to this lineup at times
Another one of those under the radar type moves
Defense would be looking 90's Knick good!!!!
hmmm....just looked at Stevenson's shooting numbers....same deal just switch Q Richardson for Stevenson plus Chris Copeland to make numbers work minus 2nd rounder because Orlando would love to shed this contract early.
all 3 cant play at the same time, and we need offense more than a 3rd defender
I'm actually pretty satisfied with the roster + making a trade would ruin the little chemistry we have already.
We have defense, offense & veteran leadership
When Shump returns you'd be surprised how deep our bench actually is.
Shump or Brewer
Jr Smith
+ whoever ends up officially securing the last 2 roster spots, most likely a training camp inv and hopefully we can sign K-Mart or another big.
Thats a major improvement over
toney doulgas
Josh Harrellson
I cant wait for this season
@NNY: I guess it must be boring as **** at the office. I feel your pain and I understand that boredom often results in weird ideas, but seriously, making a trade deadline thread before this crew played a single game together?
But bringing in a player like a Q Rich would help on both sides of the ball.
He is a player you gotta respect from deep thus opening the floor for Stat and Melo (just like JR) while not compromising us on the defensive side of the ball.
Who in their right frame of mind takes Deshawn stevenson over jr Smith. Who is gonna score on the bench and when stat and melo dont have it going. Not to mention we have players who have his skill set. Not player singular but we have PLAYERS that can do what he does... Yea u must be bored... Don't fret training camp is almost here... Wow...
First, I don't see any trades as a likelihood, or even as a necessity at this stage.
One thing I'd considered last season throughout Melo's POTM April, is that the success the team had with him at the 4, and the way the spacing played out in turn with the mismatches it created, is that this team can really rip in to others with Melo playing a perimeter PF game.
It was every coaches' nightmare having their PF drop out on Melo as he put the ball on the floor, ran off screens and made plays for others out of position. His strength was always under compensated for in the lane, as well.
Just look at some of the numbers he turned in during April playing primarily at the 4:
April 8 vs. Chicago: Poured in 43 points including a game-winning three pointer in overtime, to defeat the Bulls 100-99
April 17 vs. Boston: Registered a triple-double with 35 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in a 118-110 win over the Celtics
April 22 @ Atlanta: Collected 39 points, 10 rebounds and two steals in a 113-112 victory over the Hawks
Throughout that stretch, I gave thought to the prospect of having a big, defensively versatile 3 to drift between the 3 and 4 defensively, and a player that has enough offence to feed off others - Melo in particular - with an above the rim game to complement fast breaks and penetrate and dishes.
Hence, I've always, since that time at least, been interested in Taj Gibson.
He fits the role seamlessly, and though his offence isn't exactly starting class, he's an excellent defender and can rebound on either end.
That's a harrowing defensive line up, and a mismatch conundrum for opponents on offence.
Having said all that, the need, IMO, for STAT on this team would become nil. After the season that was, and considering how many abysmal outings Amar'e put in for this team as an under performing rebounder, I'd still call it too early to back out on him now.
If he turns out a season the likes of last year again, regardless of circumstance, I say put Melo @ the 4, and get a defensive 3 the likes of Gibson. That incredible April from Melo showed the league what he can do at the 4, and it didn't hinder anyone else's game whatsoever.
Playing together, STAT and Melo have still yet to eclipse a .500 W/L margin.
I never though i'd say this but this team needs more offensive players. We have more than enough perimeter defenders in Shump,Brewer,Kidd, and even JR is a better defender than people give him credit for. To trade him for Stevenson would be foolish. Stevenson is a slightly better defender but JR is a much better offensive player than him. Who would score off the bench if we did this trade? If we can sign sign Kmart im very pleased with that roster and hopefully they could give them the full season together without any overreaction trades like the Knicks FO is known to make.
Jr Smith for Stevenson or Q Rich. Q Rich??? I would not trade Jr for both if salary matched plus two 2nd round picks. I am not bashing but both of those guys might be available in a few months not that I want them due to them getting waived. You don't trade players that you signed discounted #1 and #2 we are going to use JR's bird rights to sign him long term after the year
I can't wait for camp either!!!!!
I'm sorry but even the though of Q Rich again makes me ill. When he got to the Knicks last time, he was dropping bombs from downtown, but as soon as he stepped in the court for us, i can barely remember a decent shooting game from him. So many open threes missed, I just couldn't deal with that again... Can't knock his D though, he always played hard on D.
If Amare plays like Amerie I think it will be time to trade him. His fashion designing skills are catching up with his basketball skills and hes not getting any better at designing clothes
Trade Amar'e to the Thunder for James Harden. :smoking lots of weed smiley:

when does the poopy diaper deal cut back?my son is 5 weeks, almost 6 wks and has 2 or 3 stools a day now... before it was 6 or more... is it normal now? still has lots of wets
when does the poopy diaper deal cut back?my son is 5 weeks, almost 6 wks and has 2 or 3 stools a day now... before it was 6 or more... is it normal now? still has lots of wets
My son is 10.5 weeks old, and his poopy diapers began cutting back between 7 and 8 weeks, and now there is a drastic difference. He used to have tons of poopy ones; now they are much less frequent--but what he lacks in frequency he makes up for in intensity!
at the 6 week mark we drastically cut back on our poopy diapers - slowly went from about 5 a day to 3 a day to 1 every other day. But even that isnt a regular - like yesterday he went twice and they were HUGE.
As long as he has enough wets - and when it does turn out to be poo it is soft and yellow and your lo isnt in any distress you are good =)
This also marks the point when my lo started having less trouble with gas. Firecrackers all day without the pain he used to get
My baby girl is right around the same age as yours. She'll be 6 weeks old on Sunday. I've noticed this week that she has been having significantly fewer BMs in a day than previously (dow from 6-8 to 2-3). I've read that this is supposed to happen. It just seems sudden and drastic. Hopefully other things (like less gas and fussiness) will also change suddenly and drastically soon too!
Betsy, Mom to Maggie, born naturally 4/29/07.
Your daughter is only a few days older than my son, he was born 5/1....
And yes I hope that the gas and fussiness changes suddenly too lol. I keep mylicon drops in him though now and it really helps with the gas... I burp him more freqently too.
Thanks for all the answers.. I knew that the dirtys cut back, just didnt know how soon.. he definetly has enough wets.. pees all day i swear.

This senior class worked hard to raise over $20,000 to make this dream come true. Much of their fund raising began while they were in the 8th grade. For many seniors, this was their first venture aboard an aircraft and their first time to travel outside of the state of Texas.
Upon landing in Orlando the group checked into their hotel and traveled for an evening of shows and rides at MGM's Hollywood Studios theme park. The next morning the group traveled to Disney's Magic Kingdom for the entire day. Their last day was spent at the Island's of Adventure and experiencing the infamous Harry Potter Ride.
The class would like to thank the many people in the community for their benevolence in giving so they could attend. While the class and parents worked hard with candy sales, bake sales, and fund raising options, many kind people came forward with cash donations to make this trip possible. Senior sponsor David Purser would like to thank trip sponsors: Mrs. Nancy Cox, principal; Mrs. Sheri Molina, English teacher; Mrs. Erica Jones, administrative assistant, and Sharon Purser for all of their hard work. Mrs. Purser served as "travel agent" and stated at the end of the trip that she "fell in love with these kids and wanted to adopt each and every one of them!" Special thanks to Mrs. Janice Sykora and the Runge ISD Board of Trustees for having faith in their students and employees to allow this out of state trip.

She has been honored by Duke University — which tracks the scholastic progress of students nationwide from the third to the sixth grade.
Sarah was among a little more than 5,200 Texas students — out of 20,600 — who qualified to be recognized by the University's Talent Identification Program (TIP), an annual talent search.
The United States is divided into four regions; Beeville is under the bailiwick of Duke University, which tracked 70,000 academically gifted seventh-graders in 16 states ranging from Texas to North Carolina, from Nebraska to Florida.
Duke chooses 5 percent for special recognition.
Its talent search is the nation's largest; since 1980 it has honored more than 2 million students.
Sarah received a medallion at an official ceremony — similar to a graduation exercise — at Trinity University in San Antonio on May 13. Dr. Sheryl Tynes, associate vice president for academic affairs, presented the medal.
In addition to the medal, Sarah is eligible to attend a three-week session at the University's Center for Summer Studies where, according to the university, participants are "challenged to think critically about themselves and their world."
As she gets older, she also will be eligible for Duke-sponsored field studies and scholar weekend program.
Sarah will be an 8th-grade student at Moreno Middle School this fall.
