I am so frustrated with my hospital provider & their doctors! Just need to vent & I have a few questions to reassure myself I'm doing what's best for my DS. They say they're baby-friendly but none of their doctors seem very pro-breastfeeding or at least educated about it enough AND two of them have now given me parenting advice! I'm ther for medical expertise not parentip tips!
I switched doctors because I wasn't liking her & the last appt she told me I should let my baby cry-it-out so he sleeps in his crib. (We bed-share).
Today I tried a new ped. & same thing but worse. She also told me I should let him cry cuz he has to learn to sleep on his own in crib & self-soothe. If not, he's going to continue to have sleep problems. All I mentioned to her was that his naps are short, 30-45 min. She proceeded by asking further sleep questions...that's when she gave me her 2 cents. I am just not willing to let my baby cry, plus I never said I didn't want him to sleep w me anymore. She obviously saw that as a problem!
Then she started asking about nutrition/solid foods. She straight out told me breastmilk shouldn't be his main source of nutrition. I responded w my knowledge & said AAP says it should. She then rephrased, well it shouldn't be his only source of nutrition...breastmilk is not enough & he needs iron.
She says I should be giving him baby food twice a day...is this true?
I'm trying BLS, so I've done sweet potato, banana, avocado,squash, pear. But I only do it once or twice a week, is this ok?
So, my concern about naps, does anyone have advice? How to make his naps longer? Also, I have to lay w him for his naps, if not, he wakes up within 10minutes.
Oh! She also said I should've started solids at 4-6 months. Without even knowing him & whether he was ready or not.
Btw, my DS is in the 83rd percentile for both height & weight.

Josh Pilz '98, a resident of Santiago, Chile, has raised more than $5,000 for the earthquake relief effort in Chile. His goal is to raise $10,000 to benefit relief support through two charities. He also joined on-site relief efforts in the cities of Retiro and Copihue, Chile, which are located in the most affected region. He was part of a larger group helping to demolish damaged homes so rebuilding could begin.
On Feb. 27, Chile was struck by an 8.8 mega earthquake and tsunami, followed by more than 200 aftershocks. It was the fifth biggest earthquake in recorded history and about 2 million residents of Chile were seriously affected, about 12 percent of the population. "Current estimates are that the recovery process could take up to seven years," Pilz says.
"Just two weeks after the earthquake, it was startling to see that headlines about Chile were disappearing from the world news," he continues. "We're still very concerned that the same global outpouring of support for Haiti's disaster relief effort is not being duplicated in Chile."
A Spanish and political science major at North Central, Pilz has lived in Santiago for five years. He obtained his master's degree in Spanish literature and linguistics from the University of Wisconsin in 2005. He was also selected for WorldTeach, Inc., operated by the Center for International Development at Harvard University. Through this program, he completed assignments as a volunteer English teacher and summer program director in Quito, Ecuador, and then as a national field director in Santiago. Today Pilz works for Instituto Chileno Norteamericano as an educational evaluator and serves on the organization's board of directors. He also teaches English and Spanish and offers translation services.

How much is that doggie in the window? And even more importantly, is he family-friendly?
The American Kennel Club recognizes 150 different breeds of dogs and that number can soar to more than 400 if you count mixed breeds. That means you have many options of furry friends to add to your family.
Dogs don't come with operating instructions, but you get the basic idea: feed, exercise, play, clean up and train. After that, the personality type is up to you. But be sure to do your research before you get in too deep.
We suggest adding a "gentle giant," a dog whose wrinkles age him beyond his years, a silver fur ball, a people pleaser or a retriever to the mix. All would be great additions to your family, though don't expect them to double as guard dogs -- they might just be too friendly.
Newfoundland: The gentle giant
Newfoundlands are famous for their size and strength and are often referred to as "the gentle giants."
Your neighbors may do a double take when they see you out for a walk -- newfies are also nicknamed "blackbears." Newfoundlands have large bones, strong muscles, webbed feet and are exceptional swimmers. They were originally bred and used as working dogs by fishermen in Newfoundland, Canada, and have also been known to assist in water rescues, according to the Newfoundland Club of America.
Their thick coats require frequent brushing. They are sweet and gentle and are often recommended as family dogs. Newfoundlands are considered a large breed with the males reaching 130 to 150 pounds and females reaching 100 to 120 pounds. They can measure 22 to 28 inches at the shoulder.
The breed itself has many claims to fame: explorer Meriwether Lewis had a Newfoundland companion and "Peter Pan" featured a fictional Newfoundland, the children's dog Nana.
Pug: The Hollywood type
Pugs are a very small breed of dog called a "toy" breed. They have a wrinkly face and a curly tail. Pugs can be stubborn but are rarely aggressive, making this a good breed for families, according to the American Kennel Club.
Most pugs love children and playing. They can be quiet or playful and read the owner's mood. What the pugs lack in size, they make up for in personality.
Since this is such a small breed, care must be taken to ensure that the dog doesn't become overweight, which can lead to health problems. Owners must clean inside the wrinkles on the pug's face to prevent infection.
The breed's playfulness and personality has also made them a hit on the silver screen, starring in such movies as "The Adventures of Milo and Otis" and "Men in Black."
Keeshond: Friendly ball of fur
This breed tends to be playful, has quick reflexes and loves children and families. They also prefer to be close to their humans as much as possible.
The Keeshond breed is bright and achieves high levels of obedience work, according to the Keeshond Club of America. They catch on to what you're doing and saying, even if you are not directly teaching them.
Those kept in a yard away from their humans tend to become nuisance barkers. The Keeshond (plural Keeshonden) needs regular brushing, about an hour per week. They are not prone to stinking like some dogs do, so they don't require frequent baths. Due to their double coat, it is not recommended that you clip the hair short.
The Keeshond averages 17 to 18 inches tall and weighs 35 to 45 pounds, making it a medium breed. The tail is curled and the breed is a member of the spitz group of dogs.
Golden retriever: No guard dog here
Golden retrievers are friendly and eager to please. If you add one to your family, you will be in good company -- golden retrievers are the fourth most popular dog breed by registration in the United States, according to the American Kennel Club.

Less than a year ago, this aspect of the Phillies was a strength. As it stands, the bench has become a vulnerable spot on an otherwise above average team.
Tuesday night against the Chicago Cubs, the pinch hitters went a combined 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in the 4-1, 13th inning victory. While Jayson Werth was busy winning it for the Phils with a walkoff three-run dagger, the bench continued to stagger. In Wednesday's 10-5 loss, the guys off the pine went 1-for-3.
It's been that kind of year for the backups; one filled with disappointment and missed opportunities. Matt Stairs, the cult hero of 2008 has been perhaps the most consistent of the bunch, hitting .274 with a league best four pinch-hit homers and 11 RBI's.
Other than Stairs, the stability of 2008 is long gone. Phillies pinch hitters as a whole are hitting just .188 on the season (26-for-140).
Greg Dobbs is hitting .268 on the year, but coming off the bench, the average nosedives to.184. Eric Brunlett, forget it: .143. John Mayberry Jr., the next great slugger, he's managed only one pinch-knock. Both Chris Coste and Miguel Cairo went a combined 1-for-25 before both were given pink slips.
If the Phillies are wise, they will look to upgrade as the trade deadline looms. There are plenty of teams in sell mode, and here are some of the possible bench bats that could be in red pinstripes by next week. And if not by next week, then certainly after the non-waiver trade deadline.
Bobby Crosby, Oakland A's:
Crosby never really took off as the next great shortstop. Peter Gammons actually believed Crosby would become an MVP by the Bay, but obviously that wasn't the case. Billy Beane, the A's moneyball-mad GM is always looking for a trade partner, as he has done 100 times in his tenure.
Crosby works perfectly for the Phils as he can instantly take over for Eric Bruntlett, giving the Phillies a younger, more athletic late-inning replacement. Basically, anyone on Oakland could be had for the right price, but Crosby does make some sense.
Ty Wigginton, Baltimore Orioles:
With the O's now completely out of the chase for the AL East, it's time to sell. Wigginton was nearly a Phillie this offseason, but opted for a starting role with the Orioles.
He's a bit of an expensive option because of the $2.5 million owed to him next season, but the man can hit. Wigginton is hitting .265 and can play basically every position in the field.
Josh Willingham, Washington Nationals:
Willingham is a well-known foe of the Phillies, having faced them for many years with the Marlins, and now with the Nats. With the Nationals set to hold hands and jump into the Potomac River, everything must be sold. Willingham is the hot name.
The burly righty is hitting for power this year and would fulfill the need for a, well, powerful righty bat off the pine. A rumor had Kyle Kendrick heading down I-95 in exchange for the Nats outfielder, but it proved to be false.
Jamey Carroll, Cleveland Indians:
The Indians are another team on the decline and could look to sell parts for more prospects. Carroll is expendable due to the infield logjam in Cleveland, so the 35-year old middle infielder is a possibility for the Phils.
Carroll won't give you any power, but he is hitting .281, which would be a tremendous upgrade for the Phillies.
Magglio Ordonez, Detroit Tigers:
This is only possible if: the Tigers pick up ALL of the money remaining on his $18.9 million contract, or the Tigers cut Ordonez, allowing him to become a free agent.
Ordonez was once a lock for 30 homers, 100 RBI's, and a .300 average, but his decline has been a hot topic in Detroit this year. If the Tigers drop him, he could be a huge acquisition late in the year. That is a huge if.
Other possibilities: Ryan Spilborghs (COL), Mark Teahen (KC), Ramon Vazquez (PIT)

Mark Teahen is NOT a bench player…He's too good for that role. If we got Teahen Feliz would become our RH bench bat and defensive replacement.
Bobby Crosby looks like a pretty pathetic option for us. He's had a total of 4 ABs as a pinch-hitter since coming up in 2004, and he's 0-4 in those opportunities. Seems like he's even worse than Bruntlett.
Seems like there's not a lot of value on the market.
What about everyone's favorite, John Mayberry Jr…?? I thought everyone was 100% positive he was the power-bat we needed coming off the bench.
Honestly though, you can't and shouldn't expect a ton from the guy that don't play on a regular basis .. which makes what Dobbs did last year the absolute exception to the rule … You would love all of you bench guys to hit .250+ but that's not going to happen.. so you get the best possible all-around players and take whatever they can give you
We have a better chance of getting a hit if Kyle Drabek pinch hit over Bruntlett. I am not one to rip players endlessly but he is basically useless. Even Adam Eaton probably had brighter moments with the bat.
Basically any of those names works for me.
My preference would be Willingham
My preference would be Willingham also –by far…
The Rocks aren't parting with Spilborghs.
is So Taguchi still available?
LOL, I am confident in saying that So Taguchi is an upgrade over Bruntlett.
So Taguchi probably WOULD be an upgrade over Bruntlett….
In all seriousnes I like Wigginton. The man is a real horse and can play different positions. He's relatively expensive but could be a real good pick-up.
Also, let me say that it's refreshing to talk about trade rumors and possibilities OTHER than Roy Halladay and the starting rotation….
I am all for Wiggy or Willingham. The others don't fit with this team.
Maybe we can work a deal with the Orioles for Wigginton and George Sherrill. Lidge obviously is a concern and you can't just assume that Brett Myers is going to be ready by mid-August….and, even if he is, I wouldn't just thrust him into the closer's role.
Mentioning Ordonez is hilarious, there's no way if he gets dealt or released he finish the year as a part-time player. He's a prototypical Boras guy who's going to try and parlay the rest of the season into as big a deal as he can get.
I don't think Sherril's really a fit especially with the asking price, the Phils need a right handed arm who can pitch the 8th inning but first and foremost will be a lock-down option in the 6th/7th innings, basically Durbin last year.
On of the W's would be nice, think it was a great shame we didn't make a play for Grudzy
I would, Chuck. The man is made of steel!!
check out SuperLogoz.com!!!
as always – FREE SHIPPING
Yeah, Manny….he is. But I think it's ridiculous to assume that Myers can just waltz right into that kind of a role right away after major surgery….in August. Maybe in September or…..the postseason if necessary.
The other possibility is….what about either Pedro or Lopez out of the bullpen? I think one is going to be the 5th starter (if Lopez doesn't get traded which has been mentioned). Either one is an upgrade over Durbin.
Bruntlett should be in AAA.
Remember Pedro's contract has incentives both as a starter and reliever…
NJ says~ .."need a right handed arm who can pitch the 8th inning but first and foremost will be a lock-down option in the 6th/7th innings..".
Why such worries about a need for a middle relief? Have you forgotten Clay Condrey? The righthander has been outstanding this season and last. He has come through in his role in middle relief for most of his 36 appearances and surely will surpass his total of 56 appearances last season (3.26 ERA for 69 innings). Currently, his ERA is 3.41 for 37 innings plus a 6-2 W/L record.
I really like Lopez… Pedro should stay in the minors until he forces himself into the rotation and demonstrates that he's able to put up better numbers than Lopez. Lopez is doing an amazing job as a 5th starter so far.
Bruntlett belongs in the independent league.
wow such hatred for Durbin, the guy pitched 3 good innings the other night granted with a big lead, and got squeezed pretty tight by home plate ump last night after only one day off.
And as much as I like his versatilty I guess I have to agree about Bruntlett, he has look bad at the plate. And I love Stairs as much as the every in here, but since Dobbs has gotten some playing time he has come through while pinch hitting lately and he is more than homer strike out that Stairs is.
I say the FO did a good job last year aquiring players needed for the streach run, so I believe they will do it again.
Bruce I completely agree Condrey has stepped up massively, my concern is Durbin who's form has certainly reduced his role. I think Condrey is excellent in his role of getting the outs he's sent to the mound for but I'm not sure, like Durbin he's best placed to handle the kind of 3-4 days at a time workload Madson and Romero sometimes sees. I think along with Eyre and Park there are 3 excellent mix 'n' match, multi-purpose arms in middle relief, I'd just like to see one more arm that can handle the set-up duties. To me Qualls would be an excellent addition (especially with his previous experience setting up for Lidge), someone in the mould of a Kevin Gregg, I don't see Sherril even if the price was reduced being that guy unless you were to relegate the roles of Romero and Eyre.
My 'worries' are limited, I still think this is the best modern-day bullpen the Phillies have assembled, I'd just feel more comfortable knowing there was another righty who could lessen the burden for Madson.
^Just to add- Don't mean to show Durbin hatred, I didn't expect him to mirror his performance last year. I'm just not sure the guy can handle the set-up work especially with Charlie having a tendency to overuse his set-up guys.
I think problem is that "slurve" that he throws. He doesn"t really have a curve. If that slurvy thing doesn't nick the outside of the plate he gets killed.
The Dipsy
To me the problems with Durbin is his fastball. He has a nice double-play sinking fastball and that kind of slidery thing, but he doesn't have that fastball he can locate in the zone with any kind of authority and hasn't really got a 'get me over pitch' when he needs to just throw strikes.
Why are some of you so concerned with the setup guys? Even with Durbin, they've been consistent compared to the rest of the team. The top three concerns are:
1. Starting rotation
2. Bench
3. Brad Lidge
By the way, did anyone find out why Charlie put Lidge in the game yesterday?
Lidge was rested in comparison to the rest of the relievers, Charlie continues to expose Lidge by putting him in in non-situations which is making him take two-steps back with every one forward. The concern with the set-up guys is purely the workload.
To me the single biggest concern is getting that guy who's a right handed bat off the bench that has confidence he can see a pitch and drive it. Mayberry's not a pinch-hitter, Bruntlett sees pitches but he steps up to the plate like a guy barely able hit the ball out of the infield. To me that's only area that's an actual bona-fide hole on the roster.
I suppose it's the usual "what have you done for me lately" for posters here who dislike Eric Bruntlett. Never mind why the Phillies got him in the first place (part of the Lidge trade with Houston). He is known for his defensive versatility; he usually plays second base or shortstop, but has also played LF/RF. Bruntlett has played every position except for catcher and pitcher.
Who can forget his contributions last season in substituting for the injured Rollins. Also who can forget what he did in the post-season. He hit a home run in Game 2 of the World Series followed by a game winning run in Game 3 of the World Series. Bruntlett would cap off his World Series performance by scoring the series-clinching run in Game 5 for the championship.
This season he continues to show his versatility in playing ALL the infield positions as well as in the outfield (LF/RF). True, he has struggled in his limited number of ABs (78 so far compared to 212 for last season).
However, again, remember what the Phillies originally had in mind for his role off the bench. Also, I suspect if given more AB's as the season progress, he may yet contribute some important hits for the team.
Of course, if the Phillies can find another versatile fielder who can hit for average, go for it. Amaro knows that it is not as easy to do as it sounds.

Any player who can't place a sacrifice bunt on the ground doesn't belong in the big leagues.
I just looke dup Wiggys splits and he's not doing that good against LH Pitching. I'd rather have Willingham, though he'd cost more since he has 1-2 yrs left and is currently a type B player.
Bruce. Cmon man. There is not a thing anyone can say to rationialize keeping this guy on the team. He batted .217 last year and I think he is actually batting under .130 year. I don't care if he can play all nine positions at once. He is a AAA player. I don't hate him. I just don't think he should be on our team. And he won't be in 10 days.
The Dipsy
Im sorry, I appreciate the versality that Eric Bruntlett brought to the team. Someone mentioned that he was more useful when he had to replace Pat Burrell in the later innings. Raul is capable defensively as we have seen.
Do you really think that if one of our infielders/outfielders went down with a long-term injury (KNOCK ON WOOD), that Eric Bruntlett would be a relible replacement for the rest of the season? JR would get another utility player pretty damn quickly.
You NEED a RH bat off the bench. Mayberry isnt fit for the role and someone hitting .125 and could never hit doesn't solve this problem.
Thanks for the pinch running in Game 3 and your defense but enough is enough….bye bye Eric. Enjoy the ring
I like wigginton. he's always been an underrated hitter. dude can definitely hit
I mean, why trade for somebody when there are so many available FA pinch hitters. I'm guessing what they will do is eventually, if nobody has filled the role, is sign a Richie Sexson type before the playoffs. Til then, they'd rather not pay someone and give Mayberry MLB experience. Dobbs is as solid as anyone we could get, and Stairs is a beast. Bruntlett is unlikely to go anywhere due to his many positions. That leaves us one RH bat away, and there are so many good (and by good I mean O.K.) ones on the reject pile that I wouldn't trade any real prospects.
I think Wigginton signed a two year deal.. for a lot of money next season?? I highly doubt they go after anyone making more than the league minimum for a little-used bench bat
Bruntlett and Mayberry Jr … until Sept when we get to see some call-ups.. Marson will probably come up, Taylor if he's not traded.. we'll be alright
Singing all the praises of Bruntlett's contribution last year and using it to justify his being on the team this year is like saying that because Lidge was so good last year that you then rely on him this year to get it done everytime he comes out…..no matter what. Sure….Lidge's spot on the roster is more valuable than Bruntlett's..my point is that you can't always just use the "look what he did last year for us" argument.
I'd say Lidge has earned more confidence from Phils fans than Bruntlett has. Just saying……
It would be nice if he was even batting .200. .130 or whatever he is now is terrible.
I like Wiggy and Willingham, but here is the problem,
First off Bruntlett was used primarily after Rollins was better last year as Burrell's defensive replacement. No Burrell no need for that type of player. His D has been poor to average this year versatility or not, so he makes errors at 7 different positions.
Mayberry who the organization is high on is getting nothing sitting on the pine, they should send him done and let him hit, He would be great trade bait. No his stock is way down, cause he is not ready for the bigs at this point. Great fielder by the way.
Dobbs improved once Charlie gave him more starts. Same thing happened last year when Howad was out Dobbs played for him and got a good rhythm
Stairs does exactly what he is paid to do.
Bako blows but is our backup and we have to stick with him
Paul Bako is actually a decent back-up catcher. He calls a pretty good game….and…..while he's not an ideal bat off the bench…..he HAS gotten a few key hits. He's not the worst at his position….and is really the least of our worries right now.
Corey says~ "..just because they start where they are currently doesn't mean they can't play bench roles here."
You forgot one thing. What makes you think those players who had played regularly would be happy campers sitting on the bench for the Phillies? Maybe for some the thought of a chance to get into the World Series and a possible ring would be the ultimate satisfaction?
Wigginton or Willingham would be a great upgrade over Bruntlett. He can't play.
What about Garrett Atkins from the Rox? I keep reading he's available and the Rockies can't give him away. He'd be great on this team. He can play 3b or LF and has some pop in his bat. A little pricey I know but we're trying to win another WFC!!!

By Marlena Hartz: Freedom Newspapers
A New Mexico hospital administrator with a history of tending to hospitals in need volunteered to lead Plains Regional Medical Center.
Officials from the hospital — scrutinized earlier this year by several regulatory agencies and bogged down by board member resignations — announced Hoyt Skabelund landed the position Wednesday, ending a search for a PRMC administrator which never truly began.
"It may sound trite, but (my family and I) really feel like we were led here," the new PRMC administrator said Wednesday in a telephone interview.
"After talking to him, we felt like we didn't need to do that (search)," PRMC Board of Directors chairwoman Gayla Brumfield said. "We think he is absolutely the right person at the right time."
PRMC serves more than 110,000 people living within a 100-mile radius of the city of Clovis, according to its Web site. It will be the largest hospital Skabelund has led.
Skabelund, 37, has been with PRMC's parent company, Presybterian Healthcare Services, for a decade. He will begin his new role in late June. He serves as the administrator of Socorro General Hospital. Formerly, he led the Dr. Dan C. Trigg Hospital in Tucumcari, according to a PRMC press release. Both hospitals are owned by Presbyterian's not-for-profit network, which consists of eight community hospitals in New Mexico, the release said.
Former PRMC administrator Brian Bentley resigned from the position in February for unspecified reasons. His resignation followed a series of PRMC inspections by several regulatory agencies. Two veteran board members also resigned about the same time.
Two agencies found the hospital out of compliance with unspecified medical standards.
Those areas center chiefly on breaches of hospital policy and are not life-threatening, Brumfield said.
Skabelund said he did not know in which areas the hospital had been deemed deficient, but also assured the problems are not dangerous.
He said he is confident the action plan in place, and the people who are behind it, are capable of straightening PRMC's status with the regulatory agencies.
He likened the hospital inspections to a look in the mirror. And likened the role of an administrator to a general on the battlefield.
"An administrator's job is to ensure the team that surrounds him are experts and help them with research, inspiration and motivation," said Skabelund, the son of a forest ranger who said he paid his way through college by doing custodial work.
Though Skabelund said he trusts the team at PRMC, he will campaign to improve drooping patient satisfaction scores at the hospital. The scores lag behind the rest of the nation in the 10th percentile, he said.
"That means patients feel more satisfied in 90 percent of hospitals in the country. They are not unsafe at PRMC. The issue is: Did they feel cared for? We have a long way to go," he said.
He hopes to bring the hospital's patient satisfaction scores into the 27th percentile by the end of the year.
Others goals he set in Tucumcari and Socorro, he said he met.
In the Socorro hospital, a year after Skabelund came aboard, employee turnover rates hung at 27 percent. Within another year, they had dropped to about 10 percent, according to an article in the Mountain Mail Newspaper.
Turnover at the Tucumcari hospital was similarly sliced, Skabelund said.
Spurred by complaints, a national hospital accreditation agency conducted an unannounced inspection of PRMC in January. That inspection was followed by another, conducted by the New Mexico Department of Health at the request of the federal agency Centers for Medicaid and Medicare.
The hospital has set forth an action plan to bring itself into compliance with the agencies. Centers for Medicaid and Medicare have yet to complete an in-depth inspection of the hospital, called for after the New Mexico Department of Health substantiated complaints logged against PRMC.
Brumfield said consultants from the Compass Group, a health care management company that also sent PRMC interim administrator Carl Fitch, have been hired to assist in addressing the areas of deficiencies highlighted by the agencies.

Years of dedication to athletic training education at North Central College and to the profession have resulted in special recognition for Heidi Matthews, associate professor of health and physical education and director of the athletic training education program.
In November, Matthews was inducted into the Illinois Athletic Trainers Association Hall of Fame at the annual state meeting and symposium in Lisle, IL. "I had no idea my coworkers had nominated me and it's really a great honor," says Matthews. "It's very humbling to have your body of work recognized at that level. But to me, this program is about the students and I'm just thankful to our current students and alumni for all they've done and accomplished."
Among Matthews' nominators was Amanda Gacek '03, instructor of health and physical education and head athletic trainer at North Central. "It's hard to find someone who's so passionate about what they do on so many levels," says Gacek. "She not only inspires the athletic training students here but she's a leader in the profession. She's very generous with her time and commitment."
Matthews has presided over the development of an accredited program at North Central, which received initial accreditation in 2002 from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Students must graduate from an accredited program to be eligible to sit for the national certification exam, and certification is required to practice as an athletic trainer. The program is currently in the final stages of re-accreditation, which involved an extensive self-study and site visit during 2007-2008. "They look at every facet of the program, the curriculum, clinical education, staff and instructors and our affiliated sites," explains Matthews.
Over the years, North Central has graduated dozens of athletic trainers who've gone on to work in many settings, including colleges, high schools, clinic outreach, medical product sales and other allied health professions like physical therapy.
"She has such high standards and such pride in her work that it carries over to anyone around her and makes them better professionals," says Kendall Selsky, assistant professor of health and physical education. "We are better for being led by Heidi, and would not have the program we have today without her."

This is my first child and we've made it a year! This past 3 weeks i've noticed my LO still likes the breast but he just drinks a little from one breast and leaves. I'm a litte intrigued because ..... well... are they supposed to do that? My breast is still somewhat full and i have to pump for relief. Sometimes i get a little frustrated because i dont want him to wean, specially since we've worked so hard to keep my supply up (we had problems in the beginning with my supply). So... is a one year old supposed to do this?
Can you also tell me how often your one year old nurses? Can you guess/estimate? I dont really understand the phrase "however much he wants"

Dollar Deals
Sort By:
Among the many myths about marketing tools, the one that flusters the most prospective buyers is that they are costly, when in fact there are an abundant number of promotional products under $1 that may meet the needs of your brand. The assumption that all marketing products cost an arm and a leg has been around for years and no longer holds true because of the expansive selection of items introduced to the marketplace as a solution for buyers with smaller budgets. From writing instruments to keychains, from drinkware products to imprinted tote bags and other inexpensive tools, these items span a wide array of shapes, sizes, and price points. Dollar Deals are some of the lowest priced options on our site and we continually reassess our inventory to ensure that we are bringing you the largest variety of products at the most attainable prices.

An angry mother who found T-shirts on display in a mall "indecent" decided to buy every single one.
The Daily Herald of Provo reports that Judy Cox and her 18-year-old son were shopping in a Mall in Orem, Utah, when they spotted a display in a PacSun store window which featured T-shirts that had scantily dressed models in provocative poses on them. Cox approached the manager to complain, but was told that the display could not be taken down. So she did the next best thing to prevent the youth of Orem from being subjected to what she felt were inappropriate images: She bought all 19 T-shirts in stock, for a total of $567.
Orem is a conservative town of about 90,000 that uses the motto "Family City USA." Most residents belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which does not accept sexually explicit images on clothing and encourages its youth to dress and act modestly.
Cox told the Herald that instead of destroying the T-shirts, she plans to "let their corporate office figure out what to do with them when I return them on day 59 of a 60-day return policy."
Cox said she plans to meet with Orem's city attorney to discuss whether the images on the T-shirts violate city code. City code in Orem prohibits anyone from putting "explicit sexual material" on public display.

E. Frank WallFebruary 21,2013
E. Frank Wall
POCATELLO, Idaho Ernest Frank Wall, 94, of Pocatello, Idaho, passed away on Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2013, of natural causes. He was born to Ernest and Hannah Wall in Evanston, Wyo., on July 14, 1918.
Frank graduated with honors from the University of Utah with a Bachelor of Science degree in mining engineering. He was inducted into Phi Kappa Phi and Tau Beta Pi honor societies.
On Aug. 12, 1940, he enlisted in the United States Navy and received his commission as an officer in December. He served briefly on the carrier USS Yorktown, as an engineering officer. After volunteering for submarine duty, he made seven war patrols on the USS Pompon. In 1945, he was promoted to lieutenant commander and was commanding officer of the training submarine USS S-40. Frank received a commendation ribbon, Submarine Combat with three stars.
On Aug. 11, 1942, he married Mercedes M. Wall. After the war, Frank took his family and moved east where he worked with several companies to improve mining processes and expand operations. In 1970, Frank and two partners launched E.F. Wall & Associates, a general contracting firm operating in the central Vermont area. In 1972, he and his wife divorced.
Frank belonged to the Associated General Contractors of Vermont, the Rotary Club, the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Vermont Association.
In 1982, he married Nancy Menard, and in 1984, following his retirement, the family moved to Punta Gorda, Fla. Frank and his son Steve founded Wall Construction. He remained active in Rotary and in their church.
Frank was a lover of the outdoors, and in 1988 he went to Wyoming on an elk hunt. He eventually moved to Wyoming where he pursued his love of the outdoors with hunting, overnight trail rides and trips to cow camp in the Gros Ventre Wilderness. He accompanied the local Fish & Game biologist on numerous annual winter mule deer mortality surveys and summer bighorn sheep surveys. In 1998, he was awarded the Jackson/Pinedale Region Volunteer of the Year Award. He was a knowledgeable and articulate supporter of issues affecting Wyomings wildlife.
After a health scare in 1996, the Walls moved to Idaho, where he rediscovered his love for goose hunting and continued to fish. He volunteered as a tutor and mentor with SEICAA, and enjoyed participating in monthly work parties at the church. Frank was a member of the USSVI.
He is survived by his wife, Nancy D. Wall, of Pocatello; a sister, Mrs. Barbara Geiger, of Portland, Ore.; stepdaughter Teri McKay, of Chubbuck, Idaho; sons Steven E., of North Port, Fla., Jonathan R. (Anne), of Ely, Nev., Benjamin B. (Yvonne), of Montpelier, Vt., and Graydon K. (Diane), of Trophy Club, Texas; 13 grandchildren; and 21 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his stepson, Mark H. Menard, of West Branch, Iowa.
His memorial service will be held on Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013, at 11 a.m. in the First Presbyterian Church in Pocatello. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Military rites will be accorded by the Pocatello Veterans Honor Guard and a memorial service by the Submarine Veterans.
Services are under the direction of the Cornelison Funeral Home, 431 N. 15th Ave., Pocatello, ID. Condolences may be sent to the family online at www.cornelisonfh.com.MORE IN ObituariesFrederick A. Full StoryBonnie L. Full StoryRichard E. Lemery

Madison police are investigating two more armed robberies near the UW campus early Wednesday morning.
They also are looking into the possibility that one of the two might be connected to three other robberies that happened in the same area Monday night.
Madison police said the first one happened just before 1 a.m. on Brooks Street, in the same neighborhood where three strong-armed robberies happened late Monday.
In all four cases, the men involved in the robberies stole electronic equipment from the victims. In every case but the robbery inside the apartment on Gilman, men were seen getting out of a late model sedan before robbing people walking down the street.
Wednesday's second armed robbery happened around 2 a.m. at an apartment on West Gilman Street.
People who know anything about these incidents are asked to call Madison Area Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014.

We're two months from the March primary, which means we're likely days away from the letters-to-the-editor inbox filling up with election letters.
(As an aside ... If you're writing an election-related letter to the editor, please remember you are limited to 150 words. It doesn't take that many words to say my candidate is great, and your candidate is not so great.)
One race sure to dominate letters space is the Republican primary for McHenry County Sheriff between Andrew Zinke and Bill Prim. I'm pretty sure the over-under on the number of letters it takes before we get to name-calling is three.
(Another aside, if you will. ... You can only have one letter published every 30 days. Keep this in mind as you try to incite letter-writers who support the candidate you don't support. This includes the candidates themselves.)
Since I last checked in on this race in this column space (yeah, it's been a while; sorry, I've been busy), we've had a debate on who's hosting debates and another set of campaign disclosure quarterly reports filed.
Zinke, the McHenry County Undersheriff, took over the fundraising lead after the third-quarter campaign disclosure filings. He's held on to that lead after the fourth quarter.
Zinke has $38,418 in the bank compared to Prim's $23,600.41. Zinke raised $21,401.23 in the quarter. Prim, a former Des Plaines police commander, raised $10,310.00.
Among Zinke's top individual donors between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 were Sage Products Chairman Vince Foglia ($6,000), Patricia Foglia ($5,000), the law firm Franks, Gerkin & McKenna ($1,000), Fabrik Molded Plastics President Keith Wagner ($1,000), the McHenry County Building & Construction Trades Council ($500) Martin Halwix of McHenry ($500), and Mark Justen of McHenry ($500).
Zinke also received $1,061.23 from Citizens To Elect Sheriff Nygren, and $500 from the Construction & General Laborer's District Council of Chicago and DRIVE, which is Democrat, Republican, Independent Voter Education – the PAC of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Among Prim's top individual donors between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 were Bulk Lift International ($2,000), Tom Cooper of Wonder Lake ($2,000) and Rabine Group CEO Gary Rabine ($1,000), whose involvement with Patriots United led to Zinke rejecting an invitation from the group to debate Prim.
Rabine and Brian Kelly are two of Patriots United's seven board members. Illinois State Board of Elections documents indicate Rabine and Kelly have contributed more than $10,000 to Prim's campaign.
As a result, Zinke backed out of the debate, citing fairness. Prim then blasted Zinke and accused him of avoiding him of not wanting to debate.
Well, we're trying to put an end to that. The Northwest Herald is in the process of securing a location to have the two candidates debate.
Zinke and Prim have told us they are willing to do it. We're looking for a venue in late February to do it. We'll keep you posted.

Obama: US will give allies info on spying claims
DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania Facing a European uproar over more U.S. eavesdropping claims, President Barack Obama argued Monday that its no surprise that governments spy on each other but said the United States will provide allies with information about new reports that the National Security Agency bugged European Union offices in Washington, New York and Brussels.
The latest revelations were attributed in part to information supplied by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Obama on Monday also said the U.S. has held high-level discussions with Russians to get Snowden out of a Moscow airport and back to the United States to face criminal charges.
Obama, in a news conference with Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, pushed back against objections from key allies over a report in the German news weekly Der Spiegel that the United States installed covert listening devices in EU offices. He suggested such activity by governments is not unusual.
We should stipulate that every intelligence service not just ours, but every European intelligence service, every Asian intelligence service, wherever theres an intelligence service heres one thing that theyre going to be doing: theyre going to be trying to understand the world better and whats going on in world capitals around the world, he said. If that werent the case, then thered be no use for an intelligence service.
And I guarantee you that in European capitals, there are people who are interested in, if not what I had for breakfast, at least what my talking points might be should I end up meeting with their leaders. Thats how intelligence services operate, Obama added.
European officials from Germany, Italy, France, Luxembourg and the EU government itself say the revelations could damage negotiations on a trans-atlantic trade treaty between the EU and the United States. Agreeing to start those talks was one of the achievements reached at meetings last month in Northern Ireland between Obama and the European members of the Group of Eight industrialized economies.
Obama said the NSA will evaluate the claims in the German publication and will then inform allies about the allegations.
At the same time, he tried to reassure allies such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron that he relies on personal relationships, not spying, to determine what other leaders have on their minds.
Im the end user of this kind of intelligence, he said. And if I want to know what Chancellor Merkel is thinking, I will call Chancellor Merkel. If I want to know President Hollande is thinking on a particular issue, Ill call President Hollande. And if I want to know what, you know, David Camerons thinking, I call David Cameron. Ultimately, you know, we work so closely together that theres almost no information thats not shared between our various countries.
Obamas remarks came shortly after Hollande demanded on Monday that the United States immediately stop any eavesdropping on European Union diplomats.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

State learns $4 million real estate lesson
MONTPELIER When it comes to real estate, the state of Vermont has always tended to buy high and sell low.
But the sale earlier this year of a building known as IBM 617 closed the final chapter in one of the costliest misfires in the history of government land purchases in Vermont. And top policymakers, including some of the elected officials responsible for authorizing the purchase, say the nearly $4 million loss suffered by the state offers some instructive lessons on how not to conduct business in the future.
Unforeseen circumstances, differing visions, and the marketplace all played a role in how it turned out, and it obviously is something that we all regret in some ways, said Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, who served as chairman of the Senate Committee on Institutions when Vermont purchased the building in 2005. I think about it often what should we have done differently? Because we certainly cant afford to let something like that happen again.
When Vermont purchased the 180,000-square-foot building from Pizzagalli for $6.2 million in 2005, it was to be the new home of several key government institutions, including health and forensic laboratories, state police barracks and an emergency operations center.
Instead, the structure, which stands on a 50-acre parcel on Allen Martin Drive in Essex, served almost no useful purpose during the eight years Vermont would own it. The state finally sold the building in April for $2.4 million to a developer based in Williston.
The nearly $4 million bath the state took on the deal doesnt include the approximately $250,000 it spent annually on heat, electricity and basic grounds maintenance to mothball the empty facility while it sat empty. All told, the state sank about $6 million into an investment that yielded virtually no return.
At some point youve got to decide to cut your losses, said Rep. Alice Emmons, chairwoman of the House Committee on Corrections and Institutions, a role she held back in 2005.
The states purchase of the building occurred under the administration of Gov. James Douglas, when the real estate market was at its height. The space, which had been used as a chip manufacturing plant by IBM during the previous 20 years, looked like an ideal fit for the high-tech labs lawmakers knew would need to be replaced within the next few years.
Instead of building two separate entities at two separate locations in two separate buildings, we could purchase 617, Emmons said. The opportunity was there, so we went ahead and took it, with the full intention of putting the health lab and forensics lab in there.
Emmons said cash-flow issues soon began to put a crimp in the master plan. Constructing both labs would require nearly $40 million in up-front capital costs, money that would take at least a few years to stockpile through appropriations in the annual capital bill. The forensics lab, meanwhile, was coming up against a re-certification deadline from the federal government, and the current lab, according to Emmons, wasnt going to come close to passing muster.
We needed a forensics lab, but we didnt have enough money to move forward with plans for both labs at 617, Emmons said.
So lawmakers approved a plan to redo the old forensics lab at its current location in Waterbury.
Plans for locating the health lab at 617 would prove similarly fruitless, as the state would ultimately opt to partner with the University of Vermont at a location in Colchester.
Scott said there should have been more communication between administration officials and lawmakers and the state agencies on whose behalf they had decided 617 would be a good fit.
It turned out that folks from public safety, they didnt see (Essex) that as a location they desired, Scott said. And we met with some resistance from the health department too, which didnt want to relocate from Cherry Street in Burlington. And the city of Burlington didnt want to lose those employees they had in the downtown. It seemed like everyone was mounting a challenge to what we thought was the best approach.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said that the building wasnt even suitable as temporary office space for the 1,500 state workers displaced from Waterbury after Tropical Storm Irene.
We actually went and looked at it at the time to see if it would be, but it needed a lot more renovation to make it usable than seemed justified, Spaulding said.
The 617 building has been for sale for years, though it was never listed with a commercial broker. Emmons said the building had plenty of potential suitors, including a renewable energy company that came especially close to cutting a deal, but that none followed through with a purchase.
The state was on the verge of listing with a commercial broker in late winter, when an unsolicited offer arrived from Bobby Miller at the REM Development Company. The $2.4 million was less than what the state had been hoping to get the property was last valued by town listers for about $4 million. But Spaulding said he spoke with numerous commercial real estate experts, all of whom told him he should take Millers cash offer.
The building was getting in worse shape as it was sitting there, so at some point you have to make a decision not to throw good money after bad, Spaulding said.
Commissioner of Buildings and General Services Michael Obuchowski said Essex town officials are thrilled to have the property back on the tax rolls, and Spaulding said jobs related to the multi-building industrial park Miller intends to construct on the property will offset some of the states losses in the form of new tax revenue.
Spaulding, Emmons, Scott and others say the experience offers some important, if costly, lessons. Emmons said the two-year budget cycle adopted by the Legislature in 2010 comes in part as a result of experiences like the one with 617, where shorter-term planning prevented the kind of foresight that might have otherwise averted a bad deal.
Obuchowski said Vermonts planning policy has also evolved since 2005, and that the administration now uses a 10-year time horizon to analyze the merits of various planning decisions, as opposed to the six-year vision it had relied on previously.
Spaulding said one of his takeaways is if youre in hole, stop digging.
If you have a lemon thats about to go bad, try to make lemonade, Spaulding said. And I think thats what weve done here.
Perhaps one final lesson, as Scott said half-jokingly: Stay out of the real estate business.

Blacklight: Tango Down ReviewBy Jeremy Zoss - Posted Jul 14, 2010
A retail shooter minus the retail and the single-player mode, Blacklight: Tango Down boasts up solid multiplayer FPS action, but doesn't offer up a lot of innovation or surprises.
The Pros
- Retail-quality graphics
- Satisfying gunplay
- Lots of gameplay options
The Cons
- Basic leveling structure
- Many generic elements
- Lack of guidance for customization
There are plenty of gamers out there who just care about multiplayer, and it was with those players in mind that Zombie Studios created Blacklight: Tango Down. Imagine downloading the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 directly and you'll get the idea of what to expect. No single-player mode, no disc, and no $60 price tag. But is it worth paying $15 to go fragfest-only?
Into The Fray
There's little question that Blacklight: Tango Down offers up a multiplayer gameplay experience that's on par with many bigger-budget shooters. The guns have a satisfying feel to them, the maps are all well-designed, and there are a bevy of multiplayer modes to choose from. As with most top-tier shooters these days, there's a ranking system that rewards you with new levels and unlockables as you earn experience points from kills. There aren't a lot of new ideas on display here, but the ones that Zombie included are winners. The main innovation, the HRV, allows you to see the position of enemies on the map, but you can't shoot while using it. The HRV discourages camping and is perfect for a quick tactical assessment, but its drawbacks make it difficult to abuse.
The Problems of War
Despite the generally solid gameplay and the unique online-only focus of the game, things are far from perfect with Blacklight: Tango Down. It's hard not to count the game's disc-quality graphics as both a plus and a minus. It's one of the best-looking downloadable games you'll ever see, but once you consider that it's trying to resemble a game that shooter fans can pick up at the store, you're inviting comparisons to those games. If you saw a friend playing it without knowing it was downloadable, you'd probably assume it was simply an dated-looking disc-based title. That aforementioned comparison to Modern Warfare 2 only stretches so far.
There are lots of customization options for Blacklight's myriad unlockable weapons, but little guidance on how to effectively use them. You can store several weapon presets but can't rename them, so you'd better remember which is which if you want two assault rifle loadouts. The ranks don't come with CoD-style perks or other rewards beyond new gun and armor parts. There is a fiction to the world of Blacklight, but you won't encounter it unless you read the dry in-game help menus. In short, there's a general lack of polish to the supplementary material that supports the gameplay.
Lock and Load
Fortunately, the core gameplay at the heart of Blacklight is tight and enjoyable. The soldiers of Blacklight seem a little more fragile than the avatars in other FPS games, so expect lots of fast-paced matches with high kill counts and short lives. The well-designed maps lend themselves to a variety of gameplay types and encourage mastery of all types of weapons. In short, it's a solid multiplayer game, though not without some shortcomings that bear noting. If you're a single-player gamer there's nothing for you here, but if going online to show off your skills is what you're all about, you'll probably get your money's worth out of Blacklight: Tango Down.

Uninsured in Vt. drops nearly a thirdBy DAVE GRAM
THE Associated Press | March 08,2013TOBY TALBOT / AP PHOTO
Green Mountain Care Board Chairwoman Anya Rader Wallack, left, and board member Al Gobeille look over documents at a meeting Thursday in Montpelier.MONTPELIER A new survey by the state of Vermont finds the number of residents without health insurance has dropped by nearly a third in the past seven years, mainly due to growth in government programs.
Results made public Thursday at a meeting of the Green Mountain Care Board show more than 61,000 Vermonters were without health coverage in 2005, or 9.8 percent of the population. The number dropped to 42,760, or 6.8 percent, by 2012.
Those with private, unsubsidized health insurance dropped from more than 369,000 residents to fewer than 346,000.
Meanwhile, Medicaid recipients were up by nearly 21,000, and there were more than 10,000 more residents on Medicare.
Those with military coverage grew by nearly 6,000 and a new state-backed program called Catamount Health had more than 10,000 subscribers.
The survey was done in August by the Market Decisions firm for the Department of Financial Regulation. Surveyors interviewed 4,610 households by cellphone and landline.
It was the fifth time since 2000 the state had commissioned such a survey.
Other findings included: Young adults were more likely to be uninsured than their elders; the median age for the uninsured was 32; the median age for those with insurance was 42. Of people 65 and older, 100 percent had insurance, thanks to Medicare. Most likely to have insurance were the poorest, who get Medicaid, and those with household incomes higher than $92,200 for a family of four.
Release of the data came as the Green Mountain Care Board continued its work to prepare Vermont for the health care overhaul under the federal Affordable Care Act.

ISBE Chairman Ruiz addresses thousands at Capitol rally for education funding
Springfield, Ill. – Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) Chairman Jesse H. Ruiz today joined thousands of parents, students, educators and education advocates at a statehouse rally in Springfield to call for increased education funding. Chairman Ruiz was one of several speakers at the Capitol Action Rally for Education today that called for legislators to work together now to reform how Illinois funds its schools.
"Our schools have been chronically underfunded for years. The time is now for the legislature to pass Governor Blagojevich's Helping Kids Learn plan," said Chairman Ruiz. "Helping Kids Learn will pump an additional $10 billion into our schools, as well as invest $1.5 billion in school construction."
Thousands rallied on the steps of the state Capitol today as part of the Capitol Action Rally for Education (CARE) where speakers and parents alike voiced support for state lawmakers to pass school funding reform during this spring's legislative session. Other events included a pre-rally staging at Springfield's Prairie Capitol Convention Center and a march through the city's downtown.
"There is no magic formula to improving our schools, but we know that if we give students better places to learn, good teachers and administrators and better materials, our students learning will improve," said Ruiz. "Helping Kids Learn does just that, it gives our students the resources they need for success."
Helping Kids Learn boosts funding by an unprecedented $1.5 billion in Fiscal Year 2008. Under the plan:
- General State Aid to schools will increase by $800 million to $6,058 per student;
- An increase of $200 million will boost the state's reimbursement rate for special education teachers – the first increase districts have seen since 1985;
- An increase of $153 million will fully fund 'mandated categorical' programs like special education and transportation;
- An additional $69 million will accelerate implementation of Preschool for All and additional resources will be made available for school districts that provide full-day kindergarten;
- Underperforming schools will share $100 million in new support for after school tutoring, curriculum and textbook enhancements, longer school days or other proven strategies that raise student achievement;
- And Illinois' deteriorating school buildings will find relief in a $1.5 billion capital construction plan for projects to improve and upgrade classrooms and schools.
In addition to Chairman Ruiz, other speakers included Arne Duncan, CEO of Chicago Public Schools, Ken Swanson, president of the Illinois Education Association and Maria Whelan, president and CEO of Illinois Action for Children.

By Ryn Gargulinski: Freedom Newspapers
A St. Louis-based company that uses cheese by-products to produce animal feed ingredients is planning to build a plant near Southwest Cheese Co., company officials said.
Mesa Ingredient Corp. will build a permeate processing plant to convert liquid permeate into a lactose-rich powder for use in animal feeds, according to a press release from the Dairy Farmers of America.
A spokesperson for Gov. Bill Richardson's office confirmed the deal but would not elaborate on how much the plant would cost or how many employees would be hired.
Richardson has scheduled a press conference for 3:30 p.m. today to announce the details of the plan.
Southwest Cheese CEO and president Maurice Keane said the situation will be advantageous for both companies.
"There is a very good fit with our two organizations," Keane said. "Mesa will benefit from a reliable supply of high quality liquid permeate and Southwest Cheese will benefit from the consistent demand for our liquid co-product."
A joint venture between Glanbia, Dairy Farmers of America and Select Milk Producers, the $200 million Southwest Cheese plant will produce 250 million pounds of cheese per year, using 2.4 billion pounds of milk, and producing 16.5 million pounds of whey protein, according to the company's Web site.
Southwest Cheese officials said the plant, which is scheduled to open in October, will employ 220 when fully operational.
Mesa Ingredient Corporation's parent company, International Ingredient Corporation, is a privately-held firm that processes co-products from food and beverages into animal feed and pet food ingredients, according to the Dairy Farmers release.
"We've been working on putting this project together for quite some time," said Jim Sullivan, President of International Ingredient Corp. "The Clovis location is ideal for our new plant and the supply of high quality liquid permeate from (Southwest Cheese) makes this a natural for us."
In addition to Mesa Ingredient Corporation coming to Clovis, at least three other cheese plant spin-offs are under discussion, according to officials at the New Mexico Economic Development Corp.

- Chemical kinetics of gold nanorod growth in aqueous CTAB solutions
- Author(s)
- Bullen, Craig; Zijlstra, Peter; Bakker, Eric; Gu, Min; Raston, Colin
- Abstract
- The chemical kinetics of the silver-mediated growth of gold nanorods prepared by the reduction of gold precursor in aqueous cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) solution has been systematically studied using spectroscopic monitoring and electron microscopy. The rate of monomer depletion −d[Aun+]/dt has a linear dependence on both [Aun+] and seed nuclei concentration at 30 °C. Particle growth is significantly retarded by hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and KBr, with the order ca. −1 for [Br–]. The rate of nanoparticle growth is dependent on the reducing ascorbate monoanion concentration and is consequently highly pH dependent around the pKa1 of ascorbic acid, while AgNO3 retards the observed kinetics for both the growth of nanorods from ca. 2 nm seed nuclei and the overgrowth of Au nanorods.

Snow to pile up; flood water to recede
The National Weather Service has predicted that 5 to 10 inches of snow will accumulate over the weekend.
Liz Sommerville, a meteorologist with the NWS in Charleston, spoke to the Inter-Mountain Friday about what Elkins residents, and those in the surrounding area, can expect for the coming days.
Significant amounts of snow will blanket central West Virginia, but it will accumulate slowly and will not be a heavy snowfall, Sommerville said.
In fact, only 1 to 2 inches of snow are expected to fall today, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, but the total snowfall for the weekend will add up, she said.
Sommerville said precipitation will begin around 6 a.m. this morning and will steadily continue through Tuesday evening.
The overnight low is predicted to be 7 degrees, said Sommerville, but that will change to 22 degrees on Saturday, 13 degrees Sunday and 22 degrees Monday night.
Highs will not fluctuate much, she said, with temperatures reaching 27 degrees Saturday, 28 Sunday, 33 Monday and 31 Tuesday, respectively.
Sommerville said a wind chill of -2 degrees is possible Saturday.
"Cover exposed skin and dress in layers," she said.
Winds will pick up over the weekend, but will die down by the beginning of the work week.
Elkins residents are likely to feel wind speeds from 7 to 11 mph on Saturday. Stronger winds – some 15 mph -are possible on Sunday, Sommerville said.
The NWS also has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for Lewis, Upshur, Barbour, Pocahontas and Randolph counties.
The outlook – a type of report that is meant to provide information about weather in the next one to five days – said accumulating snow is likely throughout today and that weather advisories or warnings could be issued in response to the accumulation.
Jim Wise, director of the Randolph County Office of Emergency Management, said he anticipates that flooding will recede over the weekend.
"As long as it stays cooler, (increased flooding is) not a problem," he said. "I don't anticipate flooding to get worse."
Wise said that heavy, wet snow could cause more flooding, but lighter snow that is created when temperatures are below freezing should not be a cause for concern.

Sleepy little towns in counties that were rarely spoken of are now the focus of national news stories.
Pipelines are coming; lodging is appearing, and traffic is unavoidable.
According to the latest economic impact report released by the Institute for Economic Development at the University of Texas at San Antonio, all of the 20 counties looked at have experienced changes.
One of the changes that is clearly visible is the landscape. It is dotted with rigs, flares and pipelines. Pipelines after pipelines are crossing the rural ranches, county roads and through the towns of South Texas.
The pipelines are needed to transport the product from wellheads to some sort of processing facility.
The pipelines range in size from 6-inch gathering lines to larger diameter transport lines. Hundreds of miles of pipe were laid in the ground last year, and more is planned for this year.
"In the Eagle Ford, the network of pipelines planned and under construction has yet to reach full capacity needed to keep up with the production," according to the report.
Even with all the pipeline or infrastructure going in the ground, it is not enough to keep up with production rates.
"This has resulted in increased use of rail and truck to haul crude sourced in the Eagle Ford while midstream companies continue to work to provide the Eagle Ford Shale with a much needed network of pipelines and facilities," the report said.
The trucks being heavily relied upon to move product from the well sites to a processing destination is another visible change in South Texas counties. They are also being used to haul water, used for fracking, to well sites.
"Each new well requires nearly 1,200 truckload deliveries, the equivalent of 8 million cars," the report states.
So, not only is there more traffic on the roads than ever before, there is also tremendous amounts of road damage with no plan how to pay to fix it.
"The Texas Department of Transportation has not fully calculated the potential long-term road maintenance cost associated with drilling in the Eagle Ford, but early estimates indicate that roadways presently require roughly $2 billion in total maintenance, $1 billion for damage done to state highways and $1 billion for damage done to municipal and county roads."
A plan has not been set in motion as to how to actually go about repairing these roads, but several counties have agreements in place with companies to pay a road fee for each well drilled. These fees do not begin to cover the amount of damage that has been done to roads and they have only been put in place in a few counties by their county government.
There are also several legislative efforts in place to try and get some tax money for road repairs. One such attempt is asking that severance tax come back to counties affected by the Eagle Ford.
Railroad lines, which can be used not only to get trucks off the road but also to reduce the cost of transport, are coming back into popularity.
The report states that Union Pacific has seen an increase in rail cars used since 2009. The actual percentage of increase varies by product hauled, but cars hauling road, gravel and other such materials has increased by 37 percent alone, with the biggest increase being cars that haul petroleum products with a 56 percent surge.
The resurgence of activity has caused once closed hubs and industrial rail yards to reopen and brand new ones to be built. The latest to open will be the Live Oak Rail yard that will open later in 2013.
The buzz of activity in and around the 14 counties has brought with it a housing shortage. Towns that have not seen new construction in years are seeing more than they probably ever thought imaginable.
Three motels and one new apartment complex have come to Live Oak County in the past year and more is still being built. Other cities are seeing similar construction.
Bee County has a new apartment complex, new condos and two new motels.
Karnes also has seen several apartment complexes and motels come into town.
The tiny town of Tilden has yet to receive a motel or apartment complex, but has gotten two stoplights and a new convenience store.
Then there are the RV parks which seem to pop up almost overnight. They appear in all of the 14 primary counties and surrounding counties.
The signs of growth and impact of the Eagle Ford are obvious, and the effects don't seem to be waning yet.

VIDEO: Highlights and Interviews from Salesianum vs. FriendsSalesianum overcame foul trouble and tough defense from Friends to win their regular season finale 42-41 Tuesday night.
Leading scorer Donte DiVincenzo managed just six points while fighting the combination of three first half fouls and tough man-to-man defense from the Quakers' Ben Hanson.
His foul trouble was highlighted in a bizarre sequence in the final seconds where DiVincenzo was fouled while grabbing a rebound with 6 seconds left and the Sals leading 42-40. As the whistle blew in the very loud gymnasium, DiVincenzo appeared to not hear it, and while falling out of bounds threw the ball at a fallen Quaker in an attempt to save possession. The officials interpreted the play as unsportsmanlike conduct, giving the sophomore a technical foul to foul out of the game.
DiVincenzo would normally have taken the one-and-one free throws, but with his disqualification, Isaiah Davis missed the front end to keep it a two point game. The technical free throws were then taken by Larenz Thurman, who could only manage one out of two to make it 42-41.
Thurman then ended up with the basketball near the free throw line for one last shot, but his contested attempt came up short, ending the game.
The contest between two teams likely to host games early in the state basketball tournament was a physical battle featuring several offensive fouls, which put DiVincenzo and Brian O'Neill in early foul trouble for the Sals, while Malcolm Delpeche also had to sit extra minutes for the Quakers.
Friends scored the opening five points of the game, but then Salesianum went on an 11-2 run to take the lead, being sparked by a 3-pointer off the hands of Isaiah Davis.
Salesianum's lead never stretched past 7 points the rest of the way, with Friends only taking a brief 18-16 lead early in the 2nd quarter.
Both teams will learn their tournament seedings on Friday, with Salesianum likely to get an opening-round bye.

Chamber Theatre blossoms again with lighthearted 'Jeeves in Bloom'

Under Tami Workentin's direction, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre produced the first of these light comedies, with Matt Daniels as Jeeves, in 2010. In "Bloom," Workentin again directs and Daniels returns as Jeeves. The remaining characters and actors are all new, as is the setting. »Read Full Article

|→ Offer ends in
Often in the summer, fog is much heavier in the San Francisco Bay Area due to the high pressure systems and the land formations. The fog on this day hugged the Golden Gate Bridge like a big blanket, so we made our way to Fort Point, one of the best places for photography I've ever seen. This old fort, sitting at the base of the Golden Gate, is a labyrinth of brick rooms and hallways, providing endless opportunities for great images. The lighting in the fort can be tricky, so it made for an excellent location to work with our students -- teaching them how to adjust aperture for sharp, clear images, as well as longer exposures to capture the dark areas the fort has to offer.
After spending nearly two hours in this amazing fort, the group was ready for a little break and to warm up. We made our way to Sausalito for a coffee/lunch break before heading off to Rodeo Beach, one of the Bay Area's most stunning beaches.
Rodeo Beach is a small area decorated with amazing sea stacks and rugged cliffs that make for perfect conditions to capture action shots. We set up and used higher shutter speeds to capture the great wave action that was happening. Giant waves crashed into the air 15-20 feet high and we timed our shots to get the maximum action. It was a lot of fun, plus the lush green hills in the distance provided some great color.
With the sun setting quickly, we decided to head back up the hill, where the Golden Gate stood in all her glory, ready to be photographed. You might think, "not another photo of the Golden Gate," but this night the fog was completely gone, the temperatures were pretty nice, the wind was light and the clarity in the air was as sharp as I'd ever seen it. It really was a sight to behold. We set up along the edge, overlooking the north tower, and composed our shots where the Golden Gate spanned nicely across our screens, with San Francisco in the distance, nice and sharp and full of color.
When the lights started to come on, we began running longer exposures...first 5 seconds, then 10, 15 and even longer, allowing the car lights on the deck to streak, making for some really interesting images. What I saw coming up on everyone's camera screens looked really good and sharp. I'm very sure there were some images to be proud of recorded this night.
Hesitantly, we had to leave. Our workshop had come to an end, and what an end it was. I personally have stood on that hill dozens of times, but it's a rare night for such conditions, so this proved to be quite a photographic opportunity.
Until next time,
Stephen, Scott and the rest of the Aperture Academy team
P.S. If you'd like to join us at one of our workshops, you can find the schedule/sign up here.
Tom Pierson - June 7th, 2010 (3:03pm)
Stephen, Personal thanks for a great Saturday. You, Scott and the whole team were wonderful to be with. I not only became friends with my camera (mechanics) but learned more about the basics of photography than I expected which gives me a foundation to experiment, test and build on. No doubt the "Photo Gods" were with us and each location was spectacular. I particularly liked the easy-going, non-rush atmosphere of your venue which gave me plenty of time to be stupid, on my own, without embarrassment, when necessary. I will be sending business your way as several of my colleagues are very interested in what you have to offer.
Greg Teal - June 8th, 2010 (4:02pm)
Thanks to you and Scott for a great time! I think you did a really good job pacing the workshop, customizing to each individual, and making it fun. I learned way more than I expected, and I can't wait to go out again.
Here's my selects: http://gallery.me.com/gteal#100332&bgcolor=black&view=grid. Thanks again—I hope to be back soon.
Christina Marie - June 8th, 2010 (4:31pm)
Stephen, I just wanted to say thank you for such a great time on Saturday. You, Scott, and Alicia were so helpful and especially patient with me and my "POS" camera. I'm so thrilled that I know how to maximize it's potential and I'm looking forward to an upgrade! The class was so inspiring and most of all FUN! I didn't know workshops like these existed, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I can't wait until the next workshop!

Hi! I have thrush but have frozen many bags of milk (probably before outbreak but I'm not sure). My LC said that it should be okay for my DS but that I can scald it once it is defrosted and feed it to the baby if I want peace of mind that he won't get thrush back again.
Question- if I defrost, then scald, can I put it in the fridge for 24 hours like regular defrosted milk? Or do I have to scald and serve it to him immediately after it cools? I'm confused.
I know people usually scald before they freeze but that didn't happen here!

Hello Ladies... I have 2 questions ....
1. My LO (he is turning 3 weeks tomorrow) will get very fussy then burp and spit up, Then he will continue to fuss, so I give him a pacifier, he spits it out, then I will finally give him the breast and he is content. Then after the burp, he will spit up some more. It seems like he is eating too much. Is that possible? I am only giving him breast milk, primarily from the breast, occasionally from the bottle. This is my first time not using formula with my childern, so I am not quite sure of what is "normal". Am I over-feeding him?
2. I have some nipple pain when I get a let-down and especially when my LO takes his first few sucks. After the first few (maybe 5 -10) it doesn't hurt anymore, unless he is doing a really hard and deep suck, then that hurts at first also. Is this normal?? I have some lansinosh (sp?) but I don't use it consistently, I am not sure if it actually works. Will this initial pain go away, or will it be there forever?? I think that he is latched on correctly because the pain does go away, and I try to make sure that his mouth is open wide when he latches on. Are there any suggestions to make the pain go away?? Should I put the lanolin on more often?? BTW - I don't have cracked nipples or anything like that.
Thanks in advance for your help
