This victory has been brought to you by the letter 'D', for defense. The Bobcat defense rose to the challenge in this early test of the season and slowed a very good offensive team in the Vikings.
"This is exactly what we needed at this point of the season," said Head Coach Jason Herring. "There's a reason they're the number six team in Division I, and there's a reason we're the number 1 team in Division II."
The Bobcat offense jumped on the scoreboard quickly and often in the first half. The first score came in just over a minute after kickoff with quarterback Travis Quintanilla tagging Dana Franklin on a 19-yard touchdown reception.
Running back Draigon Silvas would extend the Bobcats lead to 14-0 before the end of the opening period but not before the Viking offense was pounded by the Bobcat defense, keeping Lago Vista scoreless. Defensive standouts included Alex Coronado, Devon LaFrance, and Jack Gumm.
In the second quarter's opening seconds the Bobcats struck with Draigon Silvas rumbling into the end zone on a one-yard run to strengthen the lead. The Vikings would answer with a score of their own halfway through the period but could not capitalize on extra points, making the score 21-6 going into the halftime break.
The third quarter of the game was scoreless but entertaining as a defensive showdown brewed for the entire period.
On the opening kickoff placekicker Adolfo Cordero, who was perfect once again on point-after TDs for the night, recorded his first tackle ever, taking down the Viking returner.
Bobcat defenders who would also make their mark included Jim LaFond, Tyler Castellano, John Wesley Shipp and Cameron Sternadel.
"Our players responded well to this tough team," Herring said.
The Vikings would shorten the gap even further with an early touchdown in the final period and the Bobcat 'D' would deny them the two-point conversion, leaving the score 21-12.
The Bobcat offense responded in kind on a 49-yard, eight-play drive that would end with Chase Whetsel marching into the end zone from 12 yards out to seal the deal 28-12.
The Bobcats will enjoy a week off to prepare for their district opener in Jack Sportsman Bobcat Stadium.
The Bobcats will take on the Rivera-Kaufer Seahawks Friday, Sept. 28. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.

Laurier PhD candidate honoured at international congress for gait research
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jun 29/12
Laurier PhD candidate Frederico Pierucinni-Farias research on the freezing of gait in some patients with Parkinsons disease won second place at the Joint World Congress of the International Society for Posture & Gait Research and Gait & Mental Function in Trondheim, Norway.
Pierucinni-Faria joined Lauriers Cognitive Neuroscience PhD program with a full scholarship from Brazils National Council for Scientific and Technological Development. He is working to figure out what causes patients with Parkinsons disease to experience a sudden inability to walk, known as the freezing of gait. He discovered that patients experiencing this symptom walk with more stuttering and variability when required to perform another task (for example, listening to numbers over a loudspeaker while stepping over obstacles).
The awards committee commented that they were impressed with the novelty and applicability of a research experiment that helps understand why freezing might occur in our every day lives, said Quincy Almeida, associate professor and director of Sun Life Financial Movement Disorders Research and Rehabilitation Centre (MDRC) at Laurier. This award is representative of the world-class Parkinson's research being completed at the MDRC and the Department of Psychology.
Pierucinni-Farias presentation placed second of 367 research presentations, making him runner up for the Aftab Patla Research Innovation Award for Student Poster in Clinical Science.
Pierucinni-Faria is the first student from south of the Equator to be recognized with this honour an accomplishment that drew cheers of support from Brazilian and Canadian counterparts and an emotional response from Pierucinni-Faria.
Fredericos tears were all about his dream of obtaining a world-class education by leaving his home country to pursue his studies, said Almeida. And he got it at Laurier.
The World Congress of the International Society for Posture & Gait Research and Gait & Mental Function took place June 24-28, 2012. The congress, in its 20th year, had the theme of Movement Analysis From Bench to Bedside, and included presentations to researchers and practitioners in the fields of posture, gait and mental function.

Scientists at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) studying neurobehavior seek patients with neuroacanthocytosis (X-linked [McLeod syndrome], non-X-linked, and sporadic patients are eligible) to examine the role of the basal ganglia in this disease.
Eligible patients must be referred by a physician, should be ambulatory, and must be able to travel to Bethesda, MD, for testing. They should present with acanthocytosis either in the setting of the McLeod phenotype or in association with neurological signs such as neuromyopathy or cerebral involvement. Patients with abetalipoproteinemia (Bassen-Kornzweig) or neuroaxonal dystrophy (Hallervorden-Spatz) are not eligible.
The studies will be conducted at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD, and will include experimental neuropsychological testing, functional and structural neuroimaging, and a neurological evaluation. All study-related expenses will be paid by the NIH.
For more information, physicians should contact Dr. Adrian Danek, Cognitive Neuroscience Section, NINDS, NIH, Building 10, Room 5C205, 10 Center Drive MSC 1440, Bethesda, MD 20892-1440; telephone: 301-402-6395; e-mail: email@example.com.

Astronaut, senator John Glenn dies
STEUBENVILLE – The trial of two 16-year-olds charged with raping an underage girl after end-of-summer parties five months ago will be held in open court, visiting Juvenile Judge Thomas Lipps decided today.
Lipps also denied a motion for a change of venue, and continued the trial until March 13, according to a juvenile court official this morning.
Trent Mays of Bloomingdale and Ma'Lik Richmond of Steubenville, student-athletes at Steubenville High School, have been charged with raping the girl, also 16, at a party Aug. 11-12. Mays also is charged with illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material, the result of pictures of the naked victim that investigators testified were attached to text messages allegedly sent from his cell phone. Attorneys for both defendants have denied the charges.
Attorneys for the defendants argued Friday in juvenile court in the Jefferson County Justice Center that the trial should be held in another county because of possible witness intimidation.
Adam Nemann, who is representing Mays, arugued that witnesses won't testify because they feel threatened by the hacktavist group Anonymous. He said some of the witnesses are actually hiring attorneys.
Moving the case to a larger county, such as Franklin County, would ensure a larger law enforcement presence, Nemann said.
Attorney Walter Madison, who represents Richmond, said even Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla has received a death threat over the case to prove his point of threats. He said the sheriff's department is getting reports of people who feel threatened.
As for closing the trial, attorneys representing local, state and national media argued Friday the trial should be open to the media, saying people would guess at what testimony was presented.
"If the public can see the truth, it can limit speculation and rumors up to this point," said Kristen Andrews Wilson, who represented Ogden Newspapers and the Herald-Star during Friday's hearing.
The trial had originally been scheduled to begin Feb. 13.

Phillies fans, we need your help in selecting the next Phillies Nation TV female host. Check out the videos below and vote on who you think it should be! Voting ends at 5pm on Thursday.Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
110 Comments
Cool to see these girls so pumped about our Phils!
Go Emily!
I sent some people here to vote and it says they already voted???
I am having the same issue where it says i already voted. I tried from a computer and my phone ??
There is no problem with the voting.. People are trying to vote more than once from the same device.. Some people are getting bitter..
Your poll is broken. Says you've already voted. Same happened for several others. You may want to have a recount.
I'm also having the same problem, saying I already voted but I didn't. VOTE FOR KARA!
I tried to vote from my laptop and ipod and neither one will let me cast a vote. The webpage says "You Had Already Voted For This Poll. Poll ID #42."
We love Ryann!!!!! Go Team Ryann!!
Go Kara!!!!
U can do kara u are a great teacher
Go Karaaaaa, you so have this girl your awesome!!!:-)
I am having a hard time logging in to vote…. When we voye it is not showing up for Ryann Michele Williams… GO RYANN !
Kara is amazing, beautiful, funny, and smart. I wish I was her. Go Kara! Go Phils! Go Pottsville!
I'm voting for whoever Magic Meatball votes for.
I was going to vote for Ryann, but I couldn't vote.
VOTED FOR YOU RYANN! You go girl! Good luck!
VOTING NOT WORKING!! Tried to vote for Emily and it said I already voted? This was my first time ever to site. Thanks.
Tried voting for Ryann Williams and it wont let me says i already voted.
If all these people voted for Ryann, why does she only have 4 votes? Are you sure they are going to the right people?
Tried voting and creating account. Nothing is working.
Go Kara! Definitely the best candidate – brains, looks, and she knows how to have fun!
Oh boy, I'm sure this wont become objectifying or misogynistic at all
The most intelligent remark in this entire thread.
You did, however, forget to mention the "Nyaa, nyaa," "and Rah rah" thing this also won't become.
I think PhilliesNation is going for "ratings" here. There's nothing like a little sensationalism, a little sizzle, to boost things! I would actually love to know what Arc thinks…
KARA would be an amazing host!! She's been a fan since birth!! GOOOOO KARA!!
Kara is awesome! She looks like a new edition to the Phillies family.
Energetic, professional, intelligent, poised, passionate—that's Kara! Keep voting for KARA!
The other girls barely mentioned ANYTHING about the Phils?! Let's pick a true fan! GO KARA!!!!
Vote for Ryann !!!!!!!! lets goo team Ryann !
Go team Ryan she was made for this job.wooohoooo.
Wow, Kara!! She's the only candidate who really talked the sport (and team), and she knows it well. This should be a no brainer.
I voted for Kara not only because she is a teacher like myself but she seems the most down to earth and a REAL Phillies fan and isn't just a self promoter! Good luck Kara
Kara all the way!
Kara is the best!!!!!
I'm all about Kara!
Love you Ryann! We want Ryann!
Go Kara! I voted and shared with all my facebook friends, hopefully they all show their support
Kara is the only one who talked a majority about the team. The rest talked only about themselves!
Voted for Kara, Yuengling Beer and Pottsville!
Such a shame that some people had to put down the other girls that they aren't voting for! I have a favorite but don't need to put the other girls down especially when I don't know them personally or know if they are a true fan! Good luck girls!
I agree Jackie. All the girls are beautiful and all seem to love the Phillies. The only one I know personally is Ryann and know that she is one of the most hardworking and honest people I know. As a sports promoter (Fantasy Girl) for 97.5 she obviously knows sports – a graduate of Penn State with a degree in Communications and a concentration in journalism she is obviously smart – and a top 15 finalist in Miss PA USA shows beauty and brains and a co-owner of a pageant consultant business shows she is a go getter. Ryann is a mentor to young children and very involved in community service. She is very down to earth and not a party girl but she does know how to have fun.
Go Kara!
Go Kara! Go Phils!
Yeah. Go Pottsville!!! Go Yuengling!!! And go Kara. Lets show these other girls how Pottsville rolls. Crush them by a few thousand more!!!
I'm sorry but this is starting to remind me of that movie where the cheerleaders mom went around knocking everyone off so her daughter could win. Kara's group is the only one I see putting down the other girls. Not very nice in my opinion. All of them are beautiful and have something to offer. Please grow up and just vote without all the negativity towards the others okay.
I totally agree I dont understand why you guys are bashing the other girls They are all stunning and deseve to win. I have my Favorite but wouldnt ever bash the other 3. Good Luck to all 4 ladies
All 4 seem like great choices to me. It's unfortunate some people, not to mention any names, seem like sore losers on here. Remember, jealousy will get you nowhere. It seems obvious who the people's choice is. Go Phillies!
VOTING for KARA!!!!
Let's all remember that the reason for fan voting is to see who will be able to bring in some more viewers to get ratings up for the network. That's why there's voting. Like another poster said… Social media is huge! You reach out to 900+ friends, then they reach out to their 900+ friends and so on. It's good marketing.
No one is bashing on here. If they were, there would be comments of "xxxx is horrible, why is she even in the running?" Those who wish to vote for their friends are simply saying what is working for their friend and not pointing names at the other three candidates. CALM DOWN PEOPLE!
Not sure who you think is jealous. Comments have been made that only one of the girls has the beauty and brains to do the job so and I think all the girls should come on here and promote themselves.
" You've been a Phils fan since 2006? You lose. Oh your 19 and haven't earned anything in your life yet?? You lose too.. Stop crying less than talented people" It's comments like this that I think are uncalled for.
The dialogue in this thread is a trip and a half.
It teaches me that the electoral college process is a rock solid voting process compared to other possibilities.
It teaches me that the voting age has been lowered, and I didn't hear the news.
Every historic incident has a Siamese twin. The Phils signed Eric Bruntlett, and they later signed my mainest man, the ever popular Mini Mart. In all liklihood, with more protests, the 4 finalists become the Program Directors Choice, and co-host the program together, as Senor Gallen opts out, and becomes the new editor of Albequerque Dukes Nation, and Corey retires, havng watched enough baseball to last a lifetime anyway. That oughta fill some of the commentators yearnings, and it rerpeats the story of how The Lennon Sisters, The Marvelettes, and The Jones Girls all started their precious careers.
I look forward to the next 400 posts in this thread. With any luck, the emotion barometer moves higher.Hope I can taske it. Probably. I've survived arc's posts. Guess I should add so far as an important disclaimer.
Kara knows her stuff. Good luck, Kara!
Go Kara!!!!! In a world of sports, it's nice to see enthusiasm that's refreshing and knowledge of what's being discussed to back it up. It's always great to listen to people that actually know what they are talking about and show interest in the process! Kara would be the BEST female TV host and I support her 100%!!!!
After reviewing all 4 candidates…there is 1 that stands out from the group because of her genuine display of personality, passion for the game, and a true charismatic fan….without a doubt—KARA is the next Phillies Nation Host!
I like bumble bees!!! Mmmm…. Bzzzzzzzzz
I think this is funny. All of the people complaining and saying that others are "cheating". What proof do you have? Did you even watch all 4 videos? I did. I do not know any of these girls as I live in CA (moved out of Bensalem in 2001. I did vote for Kara. She talked about the Phils and what she likes about them and what she thinks they will do this season. The other three talked mostly about themselves, I don't care what your interested in besides the Phillies. I don't care if you were an intern somewhere. I care about your sports and specifically your Phillies and baseball knowledge, that is what this job entails. I am sure all 4 are very nice, lovely people and all will likely have success in their futures, however the only one that seems qualified for this (based on a 45 second video clip) is Kara.
I don't know if the Phillies Nation manager are reading these posts but I have a suggestion. Maybe nerves kicked in, it might be the first time in front of a camera for some of them – as someone who spends time on camera and in front of an audience, I know how easy that is to get over so don't hold that against them. I noticed some spots are 20 seconds and one is 45 but I'm not sure why. I would like to see these videos taken down and the videos they entered originally put up. Is that possible? I think we would see a more true picture of why they want the position.
My other oist was a little long lol but here is my point – I would like to see these videos taken down and the videos they entered originally put up. Is that possible? I think we would see a more true picture of why they want the position.
Ok that comment is amusing. Take these down bc they r nervous? Several have comm degrees n exp "on air" n the best video comes from a MS Math teacher. Just another reason Kara is clearly the best choice!
Just saying I would like to see their audition video.
Kara! Kara! Kara!
I <3 Kara!!!!!
Regardless of whether or not the website is functioning properly, Kara isn't responsible for that. How can you call her a cheater?! She rocked it and is the only one who knows the sport and didnt sttttttuuudder!
I'm one of Kara's biggest supporters, and I can guarantee she would not resort to 3d grade "bully" type embarrassment of her 'fellow ambitious young women' competitors. Really, stttttuuudder? Didn't your phone even try to correct you? Not nice, and not helpful to somebody who was already probably just nervous. Everybody gave it their all, and had a lot at stake. One of the things they shouldn't have had to worry about, is comments like a lot I've seen in this thread.
Did I miss the swimsuit portion of the competition?
Nobody said she is responsible and it would be stutter. I would still like to see the audition videos. What is wrong with that?
Dude… MaryAnne.. Get a life.
I'm voting for Ryann!
Thanks Affirmitive, please pass the link along to your friends and contacts 🙂
Writing in
Andrew from Waldorf
I voted for Kara. I don't know any of the ladies and just based my opinion on their video submissions, the way it should be.
I think the real question here is, HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?
*I* should be the next female Phillies Nation host. That job is MINE next year!
I have friends who just tried voting for Ryann and it won't let them. One is in Texas and one is in Russia (yes Russia – wish I got to travel on business lol) and it won't let them vote. Is anyone else having problems?
Took Russia not TX so far lol.
I understand that reaching out to social media sites is a great way to advertise this voting competition but it seems that the three girls are in more of a normal range of votes whereas the other is way out of the norm. There has to be some sort of voting proxy or whatever it is going on. Not to mention why is her clip longer than the other girls? Sometimes people think they are entitled to certain things and this isn't a popularity contest like some small town minds think, but it should be based of their backgrounds and their course of study. Entitlement and that feeling of something being owed to them doesn't work outside of Pottsville. People need to chill out and give all the girls credit for going in front of the camera which is not an easy thing! It shouldn't be based on fan votes alone because that's when the popularity contest starts and the wrong person wins. Good luck to all the girls and hopefully the right girl wins!
What's a "normal" range of votes? And implying that using social media is somehow cheating is ridiculous. The other girls are younger than her and no doubt using social media to get the word out – don't put Kara down because she's just more successful. As for the entitlement comment – that's a stretch. Sounds to me like the people trying to claim cheating and now put down Kara's supporters have come down with a case of sore loserism.
Who said she lives in Pottsville, she is just FROM there. Apparently having a lot of friends does work elsewhere as she has been "outside of a small town" for awhile.
I personally e-mailed all my friends and asked them to vote. They WATCHED all 4 videos first and then voted for the best, Kara.
It is amusing that all the "younger" candidates don't know how to take advantage of social media.
So Kara feels "entitled" as you say (because shes from Pottsville….???!) yet you think it should depend on course of study… Making the girls who have journalism degrees entitled.
True brilliance.
Kara's video is refreshing and clearly shows her enthusiasm for the Phillies. It's great to see an intelligent woman behind the camera. Go Kara! Pottsville is proud of you! That's why we have rallied to support you!
Haters gon hate, winners gon win, and tomorrow, the sun will rise in the east.
Get 'em Kara.
I think it's a little disappointing and a lot insulting that apparently no woman over the age of 25 was even considered. Your ratings would definitely have been over the top with me (as my ~5,000 FB and personal friends passionately attest); I have a name well-known to and supported by Phillies fans, and a public-relations/communications background, and maybe even a teensy bit cute — but because I am in my 40s, I wasn't even selected for an interview out of the "nearly 50" women you say applied. Ageism is still alive and well — and apparently you're just going for the ogle factor here. Shame on you.
I believe that's an excellent post, Susan. I had replied to a message you and others were discussing on the presumed preference toward young and pretty and expressed some support for thinking optimistically about the competition. If nothing else, I think this message gives the powers that be some important feedback.
You can count my vote as a write-in vote for Susan F
Sorry to burst your bubble, Susan, but Kara is over 25.
Most Phillie fans (and members of the team) laugh at you Susan. You are the topic of jokes and will always be. Wake up and move on. You had your 15 minutes. Go work your 5,000 FB friends by doing the only thing you know how to do.
Is that you in the photo?
It's actually fairly easy to cast multiple ballots if you have the knowledge or know someone who does. It can be automated too, so that you only need to run it one time and it's off to the races. Hope there's no foul play here. I'd expect it at a Mets site however 😉
All I know is if all the people from Pottsville are as mean, condescending, and stuck on themselves as the "fans" on here are, you all can have each other. The rest of the fans voting for other candidates have wished everyone the best, yes, some have wondered about a voting proxy but I'm not sure if I really blame them for that. Being almost 3,000 votes ahead of the next person is odd but hey it is what it is. The other thing is you all talk about the things Kara said, well maybe if the other candidates talked for another 20 seconds who's to say they wouldn't have said more. Just funny how Kara had so much more time and so many more votes. If she does win, I hope it's a fair win but right now I think I will be a sore loser because I am questioning it and just bid adieu to Phillies Nation. Party on Pottsville and Yuengling beer.
From what I can tell, each of the girls appears to do a pretty solid job. Knowing Kara and her family, I am perhaps somewhat bias in her favor. But is that not exactly what we are looking for here, that is, for the person who can garner the most support from family and friends?
We are all free to vote and to make known our choices, letting the chips fall where they may. But to assert that anything underhanded has taken place here is surely an uneducated and desperate move. Kara is an outstanding young lady, who comes from an outstanding family. To criticize her success is to make judgments based on ignorance and to attempt to cloud the facts with the ludicrous notion of conspiracy. Whatever the official outcome, Kara has acquired these votes because of those, including her proud hometown, who wholeheartedly support her.
Enough with the speculation and the supposed plots to "fix" the results. Good luck to all of the girls . . . and GO KARA!
Out of these 4 women, the only one who even remotely sounds like a professional is Kara. I must say that the first girl, Alex, has a completely annoying "Philly" accent (who wants to listen to that?). and the last girl, Emily, looked as though someone was behind the camera pointing a gun at her face forcing her into this. Seemed like she barely wanted to be there.
I thought voting was over at 5pm but the girls numbers have been increasing since 5. Is it okay to keep voting?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the girls were handed the microphone and told to say what they want to say to the people to get votes…. Stop trying to make it seem like this is rigged and Kara got "extra time." You just sound stupid.
Go Kara and your a amazing teacher
I was wondering when you would be announcing the winner of the next Phillies Nation TV Female Host. I didn't see it on the site.

On Sept. 11, Shannon Martinka, who teaches social studies at Moreno Middle School, and Veronica Molina, teacher of government and U.S. history at A.C. Jones High School, attended the workshop, which offered teachers the opportunity to work closely with leading scholars, studying major aspects of the U.S. Constitution from its adoption through the 20th century. Fifty-three teachers from South Texas participated in the workshop.
The distinguished faculty included Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jack N. Rakove of Stanford University, Michael Les Benedict of The Ohio State University and Laura Muñoz of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
Charles Flanagan, an educational specialist from the National Archives and Records Administration, also served on the institute faculty and provided participants with facsimiles of historic documents that support the teaching of U.S. history and government.
The workshop was held at Education Service Center Region 2.
During the morning, teachers attended dynamic lectures and presentations. In the afternoon, they joined faculty in small workshops to examine primary sources related to constitutional history.
"We were delighted to hold this program in Corpus Christi," said Humanities Texas Executive Director Michael L. Gillette. "Bringing teachers together to learn from leading scholars and from each other is an effective way to ensure that Texas students continue to receive the best possible educational opportunities."
The workshop was made possible with support from the State of Texas, as well as from the National Endowment for the Humanities We the People initiative.
Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, sponsors programs promoting heritage, culture and education throughout the state.

Antibody Tests for LupusSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Antibody tests are a set of blood tests that check for specific antibodies to help clarify the diagnosis of lupus. They include:
- Anti-dsDNA (antibodies to DNA).
- Antinuclear antibody (ANA)
- Anti-RNP.
- Anti-Smith (Sm).
- Anti-SS-A (also called Ro).
- Anti-SS-B (also called La).
These antibody tests are often positive in lupus and can provide support for a diagnosis if the clinical criteria are unclear or if the ANA test is negative but lupus is strongly suspected.
- Anti-SS-A (Ro) and anti-SS-B (La) antibodies are not specific for lupus and are found commonly in Sjögren's syndrome. But these tests are useful in helping women with lupus who are considering pregnancy. If a woman who has these antibodies becomes pregnant, she may need more careful monitoring of the fetus, since these antibodies are associated with a higher risk of the baby being born with neonatal lupus syndrome or a heart defect called congenital heart block.
- High titers of anti-dsDNA are usually seen only in people who have lupus.
- A positive anti-Sm test is a specific marker for lupus.
Anti-dsDNA tests can be repeated at intervals to monitor how the disease is progressing.

Hi! I have a 3 week old daughter, and we have been experiencing the many ups and downs of breastfeeding.:( Here is our story..
At birth my daughter was born tongue tied. (which is when your tongue is tied to the floor of your mouth by a frenulum or a piece of skin) After working with 3 different lactation consultants in the hospital, we got at good start with nursing. The pediatrician, as well as the lactation consultants, reccommended that we have her frenulum clipped (frenulectemy) to 1. Make sure she doesn't have any speech problems later 2. To make sure she is able to breastfeed effectively. So, at five days old we had her frenulum clipped.
Breastfeeding had been going fine, but when she was a week and a half old, my nipples began to severely crack and bleed. At that point breastfeeding was soooooo painful that I had to stop. I rented a hospital grade pump, and have been pumping ever since. Now that my nipples are healed, I've been latching her on a couple times every day. She never seems completely satisfied after a feeding, and I have to supplement her with EBM after nursing. I have a hard time nursing her exclusively throughout the day because 1. I have a 2 1/2 year old son who needs my attention 2. I'm scared my nipples will break down again.
As previously mentioned I have a 2 1/2 year old son, which has made this hard. My husband works 55 hours per week and I am soley responsible for the care of my son, and newborn. When I sit down to try and breastfeed, something always comes up with my son and I can't relax. So, I've been breastfeeding her only when he is napping and pumping throughout the day. Also, I've been supplementing her at night with formula with hopes of her sleeping longer because I am exhausted. My husband is off for the next 2 days, and I would like to have a "nurse in". I am going to let him care for our son, and try to relax and feed my daughter exclusively the breast for the entire day. I am at the point where it is either going to work or I'm going to stop entirely because it is not easy to pump and care for two young children.
My questions are:
1. I've been pumping every 4 hours during the day, and 5 hours at night. Plus, I've been doing some formula supplementation at night. Do you think my supply will ever meet her demands again?
2. Do you think that it is possible to re-establish a good breastfeeding relationship at this point?
I appreciate any opinions offered. Thank you for reading my long story.

Bellaire Levy
Dear Editor
I would like to express my support for the Bellaire School Levy. As a parent, I would like the best for my child and other children in the area. When I talk to other parents, I hear comments concerning "this happened five years ago" or "I am upset about …" I believe it is time to give up on the negative comments about the past. It is time to think about the children and the schools. The past can not be changed but so many people are holding on to the past instead of changing the future. The bottom line is the Bellaire School Levy is for the kids. It is time to support the schools and vote for the levy.

From: STATE SUPERINTENDENT
Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 1:38 PM
To: 'District Superintendents, ROEs, Directors of Special Education'
Subject: Administrative Update from State Superintendent Robert Schiller
Good afternoon. On the eve of the three-day weekend that, at least for you and I, marks the end of summer, I would like to call several important administrative items to your attention.
I would also like to share with you the administrative message I sent my managers and staff this week. As you know, the State Board has charged me to work with you and other partners in the state to find solutions to our three biggest challenges – the Funding, Achievement and Teacher Gaps. I have a fourth very important charge as well – to make the state education agency a more efficient and effective organization that supports the work of school districts and communities to improve student achievement.
I firmly believe this agency is staffed with outstanding and committed individuals who want to do their very best for you. I also believe that some systemic problems have sometimes made it difficult for staff to perform to their highest potential. That must change.
Earlier this week I met with agency management to outline my expectations for our work here at ISBE. I asked the managers to discuss these expectations with their employees and begin to develop strategies to ensure that those expectations are met. I have attached that document for you to read as well. As our primary constituent, you and your staff should know what I expect – and what you should expect – from the people at ISBE. I hope it gives you a better understanding of what we are doing to improve our service to you.
Following that memo are those important administrative items for you.
· Corrections to school, district reports of state test results
· High Schools: grade 12 PSAE retake voucher use
· IDPH: take precautions against West Nile Virus at outdoor events
· IDPH update on immunization, health examination rules
My expectations for ISBE staff
The purpose of this communication is to clarify the direction our agency is going and the expectations for our work on behalf of the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).
1. Mission & Goals: Our work advances ISBE's mission statement and goals. Please have this mission statement and goals posted at your work site. The objectives and targets we have established within our business plans must be aligned to ISBE's mission statement and goals.
2. Focus: Our efforts must be field-centered. How we approach our jobs must be in direct support of the schools' and districts' work to improve teaching, learning and services to students, staff, and community. Our agency has clearly defined functions: policy, support, transactions, and compliance. While there may be some blending, the more we focus our work within these areas, the greater clarity we will have as an agency and as individual employees.
3. Policy/Decision-Making Roles: Decisions with policy implications reside at the State Board and Superintendent level with input and recommendations from the Core Team. Decision points you encounter that have policy implications should move expeditiously to your director's attention. As managers, division administrators, and supervisors, you are expected to analyze the issues, review available options, and offer recommendations based on data and provide reasonable explanations. Final decisions will be made at the State Board and Superintendent level. Once the policy directions and decisions are determined, then our professional role as management is to support, advocate and implement the decisions.
4. Ethos of the Agency: Our work must be conditioned upon being supportive, timely, accurate, and data driven. Since we do not teach students or administer the operations of school districts, our value is in serving as facilitators of services, distributors of funds, providers of information, technical assistance and advice, and assurors of district/school/program compliance with legal/legislative/federal requirements. We must maintain a mode of thinking, planning, and staging our efforts to anticipate challenges that require solutions that are attained in short-term, mid-term, and long-term segments. Agencies have a tendency to work in the present and plan prospectively with the advent of a task. We want our agency to be proactive and anticipatory and not reactive. Within the evolution of our organization, I see us focusing our efforts in planning and implementing programs, services and regulatory functions in segments of three, nine, and 15-month intervals. Our plans need to work backward from exact rollout and due dates.
5. Value-Added Services: Our future as an agency is dependent upon how our clients and /partners perceive us. To the extent they value our services, seek our advice, use our information, and learn from our compliance/regulatory reviews, our work will be positively received. That perception will shape the decisions of lawmakers and how they support and fund our agency and jobs. If our partners and clients recognize value in our service, then our future is secure. Conversely, we cannot expect the General Assembly to support our budgetary requests if the agency's services are not valued by the field.
6. Alignment of Priorities & Personnel: As part of our implementation of the Deloitte & Touche Report, we will continue to analyze our activities and personnel to align staff with priorities. For example, as individuals retire or leave ISBE employment, functional analysis decisions will have to be made on whether we replace the position or allocate the position and new hire to another area aligned with ISBE priorities and needs.
7. Performance-Based Evaluation System for Supervisors, Division Administrators, Managers, and Directors: As part of our implementation of the Hewitt Report (Goal #4), I see the annual evaluation system for the agency supervisors, division administrators, managers and directors becoming much more outcome and result centered. The job descriptions, evaluative criteria, and performance targets will become more tightly linked with ISBE's mission and goals. As a result, midyear reviews and annual evaluations will be closely tied to progress made toward achieving specific, measurable targets in support of ISBE's mission and goals for the year.
8. Guiding Questions to Ask Yourselves: As we plan our work, communicate and interface with the field, and execute our work plans on a daily basis, think along the following lines of an informal checklist.
Ask yourselves, "If I were a field administrator...
· …would I understand and respond positively to the timelines, complexities of an RFP/application, paperwork requirements, information request, visitation, telephone call?"
· …would I see consistency and clarity in the correspondence and direction of the staff of ISBE?"
· …would I see redundancies of information requests or duplication of efforts?"
· …would I see an agency that is lacking internal communication and, as a result, does not give me the same answer to my questions or one division not consistent with another division's expectations/interactions?"
· …would I, if asked by a legislator or a member of the public, be able to advocate for the work of the staff of ISBE and be able to speak to the value of ISBE?"
· …when being reviewed or audited for compliance, would I be treated fairly and according to the regulations, consistent with how another district/school is being treated, with the same expectations? Would I understand the reason for the audit/visit/review and findings? Would I perceive ISBE staff as attempting to assist and support?"
· …when seeking a service, such as technical assistance, information, or certification processing, would I experience a supportive and responsive ISBE agency and staff focused on service and outcome or would I see a staff and bureaucratic agency mired in process?"
Organizations need to evolve continually in order to define and redefine their operations while remaining viable. Our goal is to have our agency model these outlined points as soon as possible. Our future depends upon our capacity to change and meet future needs. We need to develop a mutually dependent structure to facilitate teamwork.
Thank you for your continued hard work and dedication to ISBE and Illinois' children. At 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 27, we will meet as a management group to discuss this direction.
State regulations allow corrections to state test reports during a 45-day review period commencing with the receipt of state test reports. The deadline for reviewing and correcting state test results is the close of business on Monday, September 16, 2002.
Revisions that are not received by NCS Pearson, the state's scoring contractor, by this deadline will result in incorrect results being reported on the School Report Card and used for federal NCLB accountability.
No revisions or corrections will be made after this deadline.
If you have not already done so, please check your state test reports for accuracy. The most common error is the misclassification of students. For example, no students were coded as being eligible for free or reduced lunch benefits, even though some students who took state tests are receiving these benefits. To detect these types of errors, check the Participation Summaries that you received with your state test results. These reports list the participation rate of all students who were tested as well as the participation rate for the various disaggregated groups reported, such as ethnicity and free or reduced lunch. Also, check the School Rosters to ensure that all students listed as being in your schools are enrolled in your schools.
Changes for individual students should be marked on the School Rosters. Make copies of these School Rosters for your records and return the originals to:

Please remind your school staff that vouchers may be given only to students who intend to take BOTH days of testing (day 1 and day 2).
To register for day 1, students must complete an ACT paper registration folder and mail it to ACT with a completed PSAE Day 1 Voucher that has been signed by authorized school staff. ACT's registration postmarked deadline for the October test date is September 20, 2002.
IDPH: take precautions against West Nile Virus at outdoor events
Football season has begun, and many games are held in the early evening, which is one of the most active times for mosquitoes. West Nile virus has been detected in mosquitoes or animals in most counties throughout the state, and the number of human cases is expected to increase. Please advise your students and spectators to follow these simple precautions to avoid mosquito bites while enjoying football games or any other extracurricular activity held outdoors in the evening:
1 Wear shoes and socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. Loose-fitting, light colored clothing is best.
2 Use mosquito repellent containing 25 percent to 35 percent diethyl tolumide (DEET) when it is necessary to be outdoors, applied sparingly to exposed skin or clothing, as indicated on the repellent label. Consult a physician before using repellents on young children.
If any treatment for adult mosquitoes is done before such events, it must be conducted by an individual licensed by the Illinois Department of Agriculture.
The attached fact sheet should answer health-related questions about West Nile virus. For further information, visit

IDPH update on immunization, health examination rules
The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has made changes to the immunization rules and regulations as stated in the Child Health Examination Code (Part 665), effective July 1, 2002. The most significant revision involves requiring children entering a school operated program below the kindergarten level or kindergarten for the first time on or after July 1, 2002, to provide proof of having received one dose of varicella (chickenpox) vaccine on or after the first birthday or proof of prior varicella disease. As stated in the immunization rules, proof of prior varicella disease must be verified by one of the following: 1) date of illness signed by a physician, 2) a health care provider's interpretation that a parent's or legal guardian's description of varicella disease history is indicative of past infection, or 3) laboratory evidence of varicella immunity. The following is a summary of the other July 2002 revisions:
3 Add abbreviations associated with vaccines containing diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and polio antigens to reflect current terminology used in reference to the various vaccines available.
4 Modify the minimum interval between doses of polio vaccine (IPV and OPV) to be consistent with current recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
5 Require that any physician diagnosis of measles disease made on or after July 1, 2002, must be confirmed by laboratory evidence.
6 Require a four month minimum interval between the first and third dose of the hepatitis B vaccine series for children entering a pre-kindergarten program operated by a school or the 5th grade for the first time on or after July 1, 2002.
7 Clarify that the one month interval between dose 1 and dose 2 of measles vaccine be defined as equal to or greater than 28 days.
8 Revise the format of the Hib Vaccination Schedule (Appendix B) to make it easier to understand.
9 Add hepatitis B to the vaccine-preventable disease susceptibility list maintained by schools (necessary to be consistent with the requirement as set forth in the Immunization Code/Part 695).
1 Delete the reference that laboratory evidence of mumps immunity is only acceptable if a specific diagnostic test is utilized to assess immunity.
2 Clarify that references to 12 months of age or later in various sections in the rules be defined as on or after the first birthday.
These changes were necessary to ensure that the immunization rules are consistent with the current recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). A complete copy of the Child Health Examination Code (Part 665) is enclosed. Please review these rules for complete details regarding the rule changes.
Vaccine Shortages: While there has been significant improvement in the availability and supply of most vaccines, there still may be spot shortages of Tetanus-diphtheria (Td) and varicella vaccines that could present a problem for some students entering school in fall 2002, in complying with the immunization requirements. As in past years, if a student is unable to receive the required vaccine(s) from their health care provider because of a vaccine shortage, schools will need to observe the following procedures.
1. Inform parents of students unable to comply with the vaccine requirement because of a vaccine shortage to obtain a statement from the student's health care provider indicating that the immunization(s) will be deferred until supplies become readily available. Place a copy of this statement in the student's health record file.
2. Make up a "susceptibility list" of all unvaccinated students who are required to present evidence of compliance with the immunization requirements once vaccine supplies become generally available. The deadline for providing the school with the deferral statement is October 15th or an earlier exclusion date established by the district.
3. When preparing your 2002-2003 Immunization School Survey (ISBE form 70-11), report all the students on the susceptibility list as "Unprotected but In Compliance" (use category B.3, "Approved Schedule"). Do not exclude students who are unable to receive immunizations due to vaccine shortages.
4. Once you are notified by the State Board of Education that the vaccine supply (i.e. Td, varicella) has been restored, notify parents of students on the susceptibility list to schedule the required vaccinations.
Legislation (Senate Bill 929) : Effective July 19, 2002, Public Act 92-0703 amended The School Code by allowing advanced practice nurses (APNs) and physician assistants (PAs) to:
1. Sign the student's Certificate of Child Health Examination form if they performed the health examination as authorized by their supervising physician.
2. Issue a medical objection statement if the physical condition of a child is such that one or more of the required immunizations should not be administered . The APN or PA writing this statement must have been the individual responsible for performance of the student's health examination.
The Illinois Department of Public Health will be amending the Child Health Examination Code (Part 665) to incorporate the provisions of P.A. 92-0703.
Certificate of Child Health Examination: The Certificate of Child Health Examination form is being revised to accommodate the recent changes in the immunization rules and regulations. The State Board of Education will notify schools when the revised form has been finalized and copies are available.
Please contact the regional immunization program representative in your area (see enclosed map), the Illinois Department of Public Health's Immunization Section at 800/526-4372, or staff of the Illinois State Board of Education (Sharon Neely, at 217/782-3950 or email@example.com), if you should have any questions.

The Silver Oak processing plant, owned by TEAK Midstream, is up and operating and ready to be neighborly.
The facility held an open house and lunch on Jan. 15, inviting county commissioners,sheriff's office, the county judge, the road and bridge department, local firefighters, the emergency management coordinator, members of the Grizzle Scholarship Foundation and more.
Chris Aulds, co-chief executive officer of TEAK Midstream, gave a presentation to the group about TEAK and what exactly the company's cryogenic plant does.
"You are literally fueling America from the wells here (in South Texas)," he said.
The company's plant, which began processing gas in October 2012, separates wet gas produced from the Eagle Ford wells in to two separate products. One is dry gas, ready for market consumption, and the other is a co-mingled mixture of natural gas liquids that is transported via pipelines on another location, near Houston, for further separation.
Aulds highlighted the positive economic impact the plant will have on the county and the number of jobs created.
He said the county stands to gain over $325,000 a year in tax revenue for the plant and pipelines. Employment levels during construction reached more than 200 positions.
Now that construction is complete, the jobs on site are closer to 30, but Aulds anticipates that increasing when the company starts construction on a second plant during the summer.
"We want to develop a relationship with the community," Aulds said.
The company has taken steps towards being a good neighbor. In late 2012, the company donated approximately half the cost to build a new bridge on West King Lane. Another midstream company picked up the tab for the other half, and the project cost the county nothing.
TEAK also has made a $10,000 commitment to the Grizzle Scholarship Foundation that will award $2,000 a year in scholarships to Pettus seniors over the next five years.
After a question-and-answer session with those present, tours were offered of the plant.
Aulds, along with the rest of his staff, not only believes in being neighborly but also being safe.
There was a separate meeting in the afternoon where he met with first responders, and the two groups established a plan so as to be prepared in case of one of those "worst situation scenarios.

Man accused of parole violation, drug trafficking
A Marietta man who reportedly lied to his parole officer about his living arrangements was arrested Wednesday on drug charges and a parole violation.
A housemate told officers that Brandon P. Lincoln, 26, had been living at 615 Eighth St., Marietta, for the past couple of months, said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.
"He had told his parole officers he wasn't living there, but he was," said Mincks.
Officers also found multiple mail items sent to Lincoln at that address, he said.
The Major Crimes Task Force executed a search warrant at the address Wednesday. They had witnessed suspected drug trafficking there, said Mincks.
Agents found Lincoln in the downstairs bedroom, along with a black bag containing prescription pills with Lincoln's name on them, two mason jars full of marijuana and two sets of digital scales.
The marijuana weighed approximately 58 grams, more than the bulk amount, said Minks.
Lincoln is on parole for a drug trafficking conviction, the sheriff said.
He is being held without bond at the Washington County Jail on a parole violation until the Adult Parole Board holds a hearing deciding whether he will be sent back to prison.
Lincoln was also charged with a second-degree misdemeanor charge of obstructing official business, a first-degree misdemeanor charge of falsification and a fourth-degree felony charge of drug trafficking, said Mincks.

text: Here are some thoughts: The TES score should count more (10%, maybe?) in the short program and the PCS score should count more in the long. Falls should be penalized by 2 points in the long program, to take into account the effect of a fall on overall performance. PCS should be simplified and weighted towards presentation. Skating skills and transitions are hybrids--part tech, part execution. I think skating skills should be a factor in scoring footwork since there seems to be some overlap (TES). Or make it a technical mark of 2 with a +1/-1 factor. The choreography mark is the most pointless and nebulous. Choreo is what it is. The mark should, logically, never change for the same program. And it isn't even the skater's doing, in most cases. I would get rid of it altogether. I am not a transitions mark fan, either. Maybe it should just be part of the short program, since it includes technical elements.

DS is a little over 11 months and we're starting the process of weaning him from bottles of EBM to sippy cups of milk. I WOH full time and am planning to stop pumping soon.
My question is what are the benefits to using (organic) rice milk, almond milk, or soy milk instead of cow's milk? DS has had both organic vanilla flavored, enriched soy milk and organic vanilla flavored, enriched rice milk and likes both. He's also had a little 2% organic cow's milk by accident and did fine with it. He also has yogurt and cheese with no problems, so I don't think he's allergic at all. I'm just wondering of there is a reason to use one over the other??

CNJ staff photo: Liliana Castillo Students from Bella Vista practice for The Nutcracker at Marshall Auditorium.
CNJ Staff
The Arts Academy at Bella Vista's annual production of "The Nutcracker" is 7 p.m. on Friday.
The play has been produced annually for 12 years, according to director Viola Cano.
Cano is the dance teacher for Bella Vista, but she says the play is in no way a one-woman show.
"We couldn't do this without our teachers and parents," she said.
Parents, teachers and grandparents have helped make costumes and sets.
There are 240 students acting in the play, Cano said. She said the
play will be the traditional Nutcracker, with all of Pyotr Ilyich
Tchaikovsky's music.
Cano said the students and teachers had help with choreography from
Ballet Lubbock's Yvonne Rocz. But Cano said what she likes about the
play is that each of the teachers put their own person touch on the
scene or dance they're in charge of.
But for the children, Cano said the play is a confidence builder.
"Being involved in a huge production with a huge audience builds
confidence in the kids," she said. "They do things that are challenging
for them and they're successful in it. Then they know they can do it."
Cano said seeing the 240 students and the teachers on stage at the
end of the performance is the best part of the whole production.
"It's like the period at the end of the sentence," she said.

Release # 97-141
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), IKEA of Plymouth Meeting, Pa., is recalling about 8,000 stuffed animals. The stuffed animals' eyes can become detached, presenting a choking hazard to young children.CPSC and IKEA are not aware of any injuries involving these stuffed animals. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.There are 12 types of stuffed animals involved in this recall: a large penguin (model no. 97210280), a moose (model no. 27217770), a bear (model no. 97192870), a dolphin neckpillow and a bear neckpillow (both with model no. 29311596), a large cat (model no. 37211230), a small cat (model no. 17211330), and a dog, a monkey, a cow, a small penguin, and a hippopotamus (all with model no. 27204796). The stuffed animals have sewn-on tags that display the model number and are also labeled in part, "IKEA...Made in India."IKEA stores nationwide sold the stuffed animals from January 1997 through May 1997 for between $3 and $15.Consumers should take these stuffed animals away from young children immediately and return them to the nearest IKEA store for a full refund or exchange for another soft toy. For more information about this recall, consumers should call IKEA at (800) 455-IKEA between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. EDT Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. EDT Sunday.
