I am new to this forum and thank anyone in advance for reading & answering my questions.
First, how many days / weeks is it ok for a baby to go without gaining any weight? She has gained 1 ounce in two weeks. She is very active, still has wet diapers, poos every day. She weighed 6 pounds two ounces at birth and now weighs 13 pounds 7 ounces.
Second, does anyone have any tips for getting their baby to eat on the "bad side" My baby will only eat on my right side when asleep or half asleep.
Third, because of her health issues and reluctance to eat (see below), I nurse her down for all naps and sleep. She can't go to sleep otherwise but it is the only way I can get her to eat reliably. She hates eating when she first wakes up. Any suggestions on how to break this habit?
Fourth, at six months how fragile is my milk supply? Can I go a week without pumping without jeapordizing it to see if my baby turns it around on her own?
The background:
I have always had a very challenging time breastfeeding my daughter. She has been exclusively breast milk fed for several months - sometimes breast sometimes bottle. She got very bad food allergies after her 2 month shots and has been a reluctant eater since. Things have gotten better although she still has reflux (she is on Zantak). She HATES to eat from my right breast; she will only do it when she is half asleep. I cannot get her to eat in an upright position. I pumped 6-7 times a day for months because since she is now allergic to formula I have been paranoid about my milk supply. I decided 10 days ago that I would slow it down and stop the pumping / bottling (because she hates to eat from the bottle). For the first week I pumped a few ounces a day, yesterday and today I am not pumping.
I desperately want to stop pumping (at least most of the time) and that is why I want to know about the weight gain.
Thank you everyone!

Okay that picture makes Werth look as though he should be living in West Virginia (hoping not to offend to many people) and attending a family picnic….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
You guys absolutely made my day!
And I'm going to hop on Peter's bandwagon on that picture. Man, he is West Virginia all over. And in the first pic, he looks just like he's about to laugh like one of those annoyingly funny hyenas in the Lion King.
But awesome job, guys!
Peter — All I can do is laugh, dude. LOL!
xcicix — Thanks! And thanks for the great subject suggestion. We could go on about him for days…. but we won't. This is a family-friendly place… sorta.
Hyena-straight outta Lion King. If he showed up to my family gatherings looking like thatid want him out the door. its the gooney fake goatee thing that gets under my skin
Matt — I believe that's the only way Werth knows how to show up, looking like he just woke up from a three day hangover.
Ha! I really dug seeing him light up a stogie after the NLDS. My fave pic was the one where his wife was looking up at him, she obviously admires her man. And why not, he's somebody's drunk uncle! Dude's a card but he can rake.
Buz — He's married?! How!?! LOL. I like that line: "Dude's a card but he can rake." Touche.
He's got a Brad Pitt from "Snatch" thing going on with the sleazy hairdo and racing strip on his chin. Good or bad? You be the judge.
Prince — I plead the Fifth. And I'm surprised MLBlogs didn't censor "Snatch". I'm impressed.
If your family consists of uncles like Werth…
Fun-lovin' Uncle Jay. Hilarious. He should shave Chip/Dale/Alvin/Simon/Theodore off his chin ASAP.
Lisa — Now THAT'S what I CALL a metaphor. Nice.

By Sharna Johnson: Freedom Newspapers
Instead of settling into retirement and putting up his feet after 26 years in the Air Force, John Prater headed to the college classroom.
However, somewhere along the way he began to suffer the effects of memory loss brought on by a chemical imbalance in his brain.
Extensive time at a veterans hospital, disability programs at Clovis Community College and restructuring the way he had always done things helped the former master sergeant from Alabama to cope with the affliction.
"I live by a very rigid routine every day, and that's one of the ways people with disabilities function best," said Prater, who served two tours in Vietnam before retiring at Cannon Air Force Base.
Prater overcame his disability to earn a bachelor's degree in psychology. Now he is an outreach specialist for disability services at Eastern New Mexico University, where he conducts study sessions and coordinates testing and a variety of other services.
He said the fact he is disabled helps him inspire other disabled students seeking higher education.
"Everyone that I work with knows it and that's my key to opening up their minds. I look them in the eye and say, 'I know what you're dealing with. I deal with it, too.' And you see that barrier going down," he said.
Prater and the people in his department address a variety of disabilities from physical to learning disorders.
Often disabilities require different levels of accommodation, he said. A person suffering from an attention deficit disorder, for instance, may need a distraction-free environment in which to take tests, whereas another student may need to have test materials read to them, Prater explained.
"You really (have to) get into their heads," he said, explaining how working with disabled students has sparked fatherly sentiments. "It's not that they can't learn. They just learn differently. They have brilliant minds. We just have to put the resources in place that help."
ENMU disability services program director Bernita Davis met Prater at CCC where she worked with disabled students and he was enrolled as a student. She took a position at ENMU, where he transferred to earn his bachelor's degree, and worked his way from a work-study program in her department nine years ago to a full-time position in 2002.
"He's my hands — my right and left hands. This program wouldn't be what it is without him," Davis said.
Prater's experiences in the military as well as in his pursuit of higher education have given him an invaluable edge in working with disabled students, she believes.
"Most of them (students) relate very well when they know that he's struggled," she said.
Prater said every day brings the reward of seeing people overcome challenges.
"I enjoyed every day of my 26 years (in the military), and I don't regret my career in the military for one second. I would still be in if I hadn't gotten too old," he said.
"I am a very spiritual person. I always have been, but I don't think there is anything in life more fulfilling than being able to help people and participating in trying to help the younger people get their feet under them."
"I received my draft notice and pleaded with them to let me enlist in the Air Force, and they did. I had a cousin in the Air Force who wrote me a letter, and he said, 'If they get you, go Air Force,' and I listened to him," he said.
"I don't regret a one of my years here (in Clovis). When I put in my dream sheet on my second tour, I put in one base — Cannon. We came back here in January 1983 and stayed to retire."

Leona Brenwald
Leona Ruth Brenwald Phares, a former resident of Montrose, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, July 16, 2013, after a period of declining health.
She was 92 years of age. She was born Feb. 2, 1921, the sixth of 14 children of the late Jacob E. and Martha Ellen Lower Brenwald of the Lodi Community near Cassity.
She attended the Daugherty School, enjoyed poetry and music and was especially proud of her Swiss heritage. She was married to Ray Lenn Phares Sr. on Jan. 8, 1938, in the Manse of the Davis Memorial Presbyterian Church in Elkins.
Mr. Phares passed away on July 9, 2006. Their children are Janice Leonard and husband, Glenn, of Hedgesville, Ray Lenn Phares, Jr. and wife, Renee, of Winter Garden, Fla., Denver Allen Phares and wife, Linda, of Lakeland, Fla., Gregory Randall Phares, of Kissimmee, Fla., and Debra Graham, of Montrose. Also surviving are 14 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.
Also preceding her in death were two children, Dorothy Jean Phares Bodkin Johnson and Harry Leon Phares.
The Phares family moved from Elkins to Montrose in 1952 and was active in the community as well as members of Mercy Chapel United Methodist Church. Mrs. Phares was a member of Pleasant Grove Rebecca Lodge No. 98. Friends may call from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. Friday, July 19, 2013, at the Tomblyn Funeral Home in Elkins.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 20 from the funeral home chapel with Rev. Jonas Johnson, Jr. officiating.

It is hard to believe, but in 2013, the Harvard Business Review celebrates its 90th anniversary. We, at APICS, consider HBR a go-to publication on management and leadership, and it is a frequent reference for APICS Certified in Production and Inventory Management and Certified Supply Chain Professional materials as well as in the pages of Operations Management Now.
Therefore, it should be no surprise that our group read with great interest the November article "Does Management Really Work," by Nicholas Bloom, Raffaella Sadun, and John Van Reenen.
In their research, the authors set out to examine the prevailing belief that organizations are more likely to succeed if they adopt good management practices. Looking at thousands of organizations worldwide, the authors investigated whether managers were adhering to the following three fundamental management principles:
What did they discover? "Indicators of better management and superior performance are strongly correlated with measures such as productivity, return on capital employed, and firm survival." More interesting, however, was that researchers found many organizations throughout the world that are very badly managed.
Improving management performance
In my travels, I have found that United States manufacturing productivity is admired by company leaders all around the world. It is true that US businesses tend to have a highly developed management culture. Bloom, Sadun, and Van Reenen attribute at least a quarter of the almost 30 percent productivity gap between the US and Europe to stricter adherence to the management principles previously outlined.
If simple management principles are the key to unlocking company success, then education is critical to improved management innovation and performance. Business schools and professional societies, such as APICS, continue to play a significant role in improving productivity by developing managers around the world.
Perhaps you are among the roughly 73 percent of APICS-educated members and customers who serve in a management positions. Therefore, you are familiar with leadership and its qualities. Still, do you take time to ask yourself how well you adhere to the practices outlined in the HBR article?
Core management principles must be practiced at every level in an organization to continuously elevate performance. In fact, they must become part of the company's culture, and this can only happen when every manager is dedicated to developing targets, creating incentives for high performers, and monitoring performance.
As the end of 2012 approaches, it is a good time to take a critical look at how well you are serving your organization. Think about how you can take a disciplined approach to performance management. How can you create focus around targets, incentives, and monitoring? How can you make core management principles a part of your organization's culture? What needs to be improved in the coming year?
I encourage you to continue this discussion in the Operations Management Now community on the APICS Supply Chain Channel.

At 2005's USENIX conference, I attended a talk by an intrusion response expert. He described a situation where a company had hired him to "find out what happened" to the network during an intrusion: who broke in, how did they get in, and what did they do? Anyone who has been there can tell you just what a difficult job this is, even with the full cooperation of the company. The network manager happily provided the specialist with all the logs, particularly the firewall logs. In only a few minutes, the expert determined that the hoarded and protected firewall logs were completely useless. They were intact, but the logs only listed blocked traffic. They recorded what didn't happen, not what had happened! (Yes, this is where you go check your own firewall logging.)
One of the best ways to avoid a situation like this is to record what actually happened, and that's where Netflow comes in. My previous couple of articles show how to monitor network traffic with Netflow and how to use Netflow, flow-tools, and FlowScan to generate pretty and detailed graphics of your network traffic. Netflow can also provide almost any level of visibility into your network's traffic. Netflow records tell us what did happen. The installation in the first article includes all sorts of tools for that.
People need many different things from Netflow data; they've written countless tools to separate that data in the manner they'd like, and then posted them on the Web to help other people. The end result is dozens of slightly different Netflow data processors, all publicly available. Definitely spend some quality time with Google before writing your own. The rest of this article discusses some tools that I find useful in my day-to-day work, which you have already installed during the Netflow setup discussed in the previous articles.
All these commands nondestructively process flow files. The label
flowfiles indicates where to put these filenames throughout the rest of this article. You can list multiple files or use wildcards. Note that you must either be in the directory containing the flow files, or give the full path to them.
To peer deeply into individual flows, try
flowdumper(1). By default, flowdumper writes all the flows in a file to the screen. I strongly recommend using a pager, as you might have thousands of flows in a single file. Flowdumper requires at least one argument, the flow file to parse.
# flowdumper flowfiles | less
If you're interested in details about traffic to a particular host, you can search within the pager for that IP. Here's a sample of a single flow:
index: 0xc7ffff
router: 172.16.20.1
src IP: 192.168.1.54
dst IP: 10.0.8.3
input ifIndex: 0
output ifIndex: 0
src port: 61521
dst port: 443
pkts: 10
bytes: 3015
IP nexthop: 0.0.0.0
start time: Wed Jul 6 10:47:29 2005
end time: Wed Jul 6 10:48:32 2005
protocol: 6
tos: 0x0
src AS: 0
dst AS: 0
src masklen: 0
dst masklen: 0
TCP flags: 0x1e (PUSH|SYN|ACK|RST)
engine type: 0
engine id: 0
Your sensor won't flag flows with BGP data if it's not running BGP. This means that many fields will be blank unless you're collecting flow data from a BGP-using border router. The "router" field is the IP address of the Netflow sensor, which is not necessarily a router. Flow records include the source and destination port and IP address, as well as the number of packets and bytes in this single flow. One interesting set of fields is the start and end times: you can determine whether a large flow used up a lot of bandwidth for a brief time or a trickle of bandwidth for a longer time. The protocol field correlates with the entries in /etc/protocols. If you're using a BGP-speaking router as your sensor, the flow record will include such things as autonomous system (AS) numbers and address mask lengths.
One of flowdumper's most interesting talents is its ability to speak Perl with the
-e flag. Flowdumper uses a whole variety of variables, all defined in
perldoc Cflow. Here are the ones I find most useful, and they're mostly self-explanatory. (The possible exception is
$exporterip, which is the IP address of the Netflow sensor that transmitted this flow.)
I find flowdumper's abilities most useful for answering weird, off-the-cuff questions. For example, back when I worked for an ISP, my boss occasionally asked questions like "Who is using a VPN on our network?" Flowdumper answered that quickly. (Too bad I didn't know about Netflow at the time!) Standard internet traffic uses protocols other than TCP, UDP, and ICMP, so we grab everything else.
# flowdumper -e '6 ne $protocol && 17 ne $protocol && 1 ne $protocol' \
Similarly, packets on my network shouldn't have any unusual Type of Service defined. An unusual ToS indicates some sort of nefarious activity.
# flowdumper -e '0x0 ne $tos' flowfiles
Or I could just grab the flows from a particular sensor and see what traffic passed that part of the network.
# flowdumper -e '"192.168.88.134" eq $exporterip' ft-v05.2005-07-06.10*

Another obvious question is "Who is our biggest traffic consumer?" The
flow-stat(1) command allows you to run broad-scale reports on any combination of flow files. The flow-stat man page lists many supported reports. Several of them are not yet implemented, however, and inform you so only when you try to run them. Others strike me as not entirely useful unless you're running BGP. Some of the report formats I find most useful are:
0--Overall summary.
5--TCP/UDP destination port. This counts traffic in both directions, so you must sort it carefully.
10--Source and destination IP. This lets you sort traffic usage between particular machines, so you can identify connections that hog bandwidth.
11--Source or destination IP. This lets you identify particular machines that use large amounts of traffic.
Indicate the report format with the
-f option.
-s option sorts the results in ascending order, while
-S sorts in descending order. Both take a single argument, the number of the column to sort on. Flow-stat numbers columns starting at 0.
For example, suppose that you need to identify the most heavily used TCP/IP ports on your network. This is flow-stat report format 5. When running a new report, I run it once without any sorting option, just to see what the columns are, and then run it a second time sorted on the desired column. Here I want to sort on column 1, which is the number of flows.
# flow-cat -p flowfiles | flow-stat -f 5 -S 1 | less
# --- ---- ---- Report Information --- --- ---
# Fields: Total
# Symbols: Disabled
# Sorting: Descending Field 1
# Name: UDP/TCP destination port
# Args: flow-stat -f 5 -S 1
# port flows octets packets
443 191969 959951160 2554217
80 42740 345856613 2384044
25 1022 8152412 14890
53 346 57947 730
445 307 20352 424
135 249 11952 249
110 212 111870 2342
44473 203 247298 757
This report actually goes on for several pages, with a "trailing edge" of ports that have had only a few contacts.
You can learn a lot about my network here. The most popular port is 443, for SSL web traffic. Ports 80 (http) and 25 (smtp) are also popular, as well as 53 (dns). I also get a lot of requests for Microsoft protocol ports, 445 and 135. The big surprise for me is port 110; my network doesn't provide POP3 services! I really need to identify where this traffic is coming from and where it's going. I could use flowdumper for that, or write a more complicated report with flow-nfilter.
As Netflow tracks a single TCP/IP connection as two flows (one from the client to the server, and one from the server to the client), you will see lots of smaller requests to off-numbered ports. One flow's source is its mirror's destination, after all.
Perhaps my FlowScan graph displays heavy traffic usage, and I want to see what's going on. One possibility is that a particular client is making especially heavy demands upon one of our servers. I want to see which combinations of clients and servers are using the most flows, which is flow-stat report format 10. I'm sorting on column 2 (flows), in descending order. (Again, I don't know that it's column 2 I want until I run the report unsorted; there is no magic way to extract the knowledge of which column I want from the ether.)

The 192.168.88 addresses are local servers, and everything else is remote. Obviously, the 126.96.36.199 host is the single biggest client--the first four lines involve that host! One thing to realize is that it's common for these reports to give pairs of records together, especially if you're sorting by flows. My biggest flow user is 18.104.22.168 sending traffic to 192.168.88.230, and the second flow is 192.168.88.230 sending traffic back to 184.108.40.206. That makes sense--the server is answering the client about as often as the client talks to the server. In this case, though, one client IP appears in the first four records; it's obviously using the resources heavily.
Another common question is "Which server receives the most connections?" A report on single hosts is format 11. Sort this by flows again, which is column 1.
# flow-cat -p flowfiles | flow-stat -f 11 -S 1 | less
# --- ---- ---- Report Information --- --- ---
# Fields: Total
# Symbols: Disabled
# Sorting: Descending Field 1
# Name: Source or Destination IP
# Args: flow-stat -f 11 -S 1
# IPaddr flows octets packets
192.168.88.230 224442 459688424 1878817
192.168.88.243 153038 1453679456 2635365
192.168.88.247 34503 124729216 291507
An interesting point here is that the host that receives the most connections is not the host that receives the most octets of traffic or the greatest number of packets. You might find octets (column 2) or packets (column 3) a more sensible measure for your situation. Do whatever works for you.
We can do a lot on the fly with flowdumper and can aggregate data nicely with flow-stat, but the detailed data provided by Netflow should let you do just about any sort of report. You should easily be able to list all SMTP connection attempts to systems that aren't supposed to be SMTP servers. Perhaps you could write the flowdumper Expression from the Infernal Regions to accomplish this, but there are better ways--especially if you intend to use this report repeatedly. The
flow-nfilter(1) program lets you write detailed reports on Netflow data.
Flow-nfilter's configuration relies on "primitives": small definitions that describe one characteristic of traffic--a network port, an IP address, and so on. It assembles these primitives into larger rules that constitute reports. By default, flow-nfilter stores these primitives and definitions in /usr/local/etc/flow-tools/filter.cfg. I will start with primitives and proceed to building actual reports.
Every primitive definition starts with the
filter-primitive label and a name. It then contains the type of primitive. The man page lists many different types of primitives that cover every situation, but this list is too much to read for common situations. (Read the man page for flow-nfilter for a list of the available filtering primitives, but the handful below will get you started.) The most commonly used primitives include
ip-address, and
ip-address-prefix. The following example is a primitive for the TCP protocol:
filter-primitive TCP
type ip-protocol
permit tcp
default deny
While its name is
TCP, the
permit statement tells the primitive that it matches anything of protocol type
tcp. You could also use 6, the protocol number for TCP as defined in /etc/protocols. The
default deny at the end means the primitive doesn't match anything that isn't TCP. (Primitives have an implicit
default deny, but I find explicit statements more comfortable.)
Similarly, the
ip-port primitive type matches TCP or UDP ports. This primitive,
smtpports, matches connections to port 25 and only port 25:
filter-primitive smtpports
type ip-port
permit 25
default deny
The adept among you can already see where this is heading; TCP connections to port 25 are either SMTP conversations or masquerading as SMTP conversations.
You can define entire networks with the
ip-address-prefix primitive type. The
hostingnet primitive matches the entire 192.168.88.0 network:
filter-primitive hostingnet
type ip-address-prefix
permit 192.168.88.0/24
default deny
Finally, you can match individual IP addresses with the
ip-address type:
filter-primitive local_mailservers
type ip-address
permit 192.168.88.33
default deny
Primitives can get quite complicated. For example, suppose I want to make a filter primitive that includes everything that isn't a mail server. The trick to this is to start small and gradually grow.
filter-primitive local_not_mailservers
type ip-address
deny 192.168.88.33
permit 192.168.88.0/24
default deny
The primitive itself is an IP address--actually, a set of them. It isn't a network, because there's a hole in it. I started by denying my actual mail server's IP. I then accepted the whole block of addresses in the network. At the end, if an IP isn't explicitly permitted, it's denied. This primitive will match any IP address from 192.168.88.0 through 192.168.88.32 and from 192.168.88.34 through 192.168.88.254.
You can list several related items in a single primitive. For example, my company's security policy forbids use of telnet (port 23) and MS SQL (port 1433) connections over the public internet. If I see this traffic on my network, something interesting is going on. This primitive matches both of these.
filter-primitive redflags
type ip-port
permit 23
permit 1433
default deny
Similarly, you could have a list of IP addresses in permit statements. You can't combine unrelated items in a primitive, however; to combine
port 25 and
protocol tcp, you must create a rule.
Now that you have a set of primitives, you can define filters using them. Filters start with the
filter-definition keyword and a name, then have a series of
match statements. As with primitives, flow-nfilter supports all kinds of statements to match any characteristic of traffic. The match statements I find most useful include
dst-ip-port, and
Use a
match statement with a primitive only for the traffic type you want to match. For example, if you want to match an IP address, you must list an IP address primitive in the filter definition. You can't match an IP address with a protocol primitive, sensibly enough. You can get a full list of matching types in
flow-nfilter(1), or check the sample filter.cfg file distributed with flow-tools.
To write a filter to catch a certain type of traffic, you must understand what makes that traffic unique. For example, consider a rule to match all email traffic to a SMTP server. What characteristics does an inbound SMTP exchange have? Well, it's on port 25, runs over TCP, and has a destination IP of your mail server. That's enough to write a filter definition.
filter-definition inboundmail
match dst-ip-addr local_mailservers
match dst-ip-port smtpports
match ip-protocol tcp
An implicit
AND joins these terms. Any flow must match all the primitives for this filter to pick it out.
Similarly, you can write a filter definition that will catch all email originating from your mail server and heading out to other servers. The only difference here is that the destination IP is now the source IP:
filter-definition outboundmail
match src-ip-addr local_mailservers
match dst-ip-port smtpports
match ip-protocol tcp
Using these two filters, you can easily run two reports that pick out all traffic to and from your mail server. Using the
or keyword, you can combine those two reports into a single report:
filter-definition allmail
match dst-ip-addr local_mailservers
match dst-ip-port smtpports
match ip-protocol tcp
match src-ip-addr local_mailservers
match dst-ip-port smtpports
match ip-protocol tcp
This is just a "superreport" that contains all traffic that meets either of the one-way mail definitions, joined by the
or keyword.
One sort of traffic that I'm particularly interested in is stuff that shouldn't be on my network at all. Nobody should be trying to use
telnet(1) to reach my servers, and nobody should be using MS SQL network connections inbound, either. Anyone who tries to telnet into my servers is by definition a troublemaker. I want to know about them. I've previously defined a
redflags primitive listing TCP/IP ports that I consider bad:
filter-definition redflags
match dst-ip-port redflags
match dst-ip-addr hostingnet
match ip-protocol tcp
Similarly, anyone who tries to send email to an IP that isn't actually a mail server is a troublemaker--at best, he's infected with a spam-relay virus; at worst, he's an intruder. I want to know about him. Specifically, I want my firewall team to know about him so they can block his IP address!
filter-definition inboundmail_false
match dst-ip-addr local_not_mailservers
match dst-ip-port smtpports
match ip-protocol tcp
I can combine the last two reports to create a "bad guys" report, and then run it via
cron(1) on a regular basis and mail the results to the appropriate network minion.
To run flow-nfilter, use
flow-print to dump the binary format from the flow file into a (non-human-readable) format that the other tools can read more easily. Pipe that into
flow-nfilter, which will strip out the flows that don't match your desired flow. Flow-nfilter requires two arguments:
-F and the filter definition, and then
-f with the filename of filter configuration you're using. Finally,
flow-print translates the binary flow format into human-readable text:
# flow-cat -p flowfiles | flow-nfilter -F reportname \
-f /usr/local/etc/flow-tools/filter.cfg | flow-print
For example, here's how to check the flow file ft-v05.2005-07-06.125500-0400 for all inbound email connections. The filename shows that this checks the flows during the 5-minute period between 12:55 and 13 p.m. on July 6, 2005.
# flow-cat -p /var/log/netflows/saved/ft-v05.2005-07-06.125500-0400 \
| flow-nfilter -F inboundmail -f /usr/local/etc/flow-tools/filter.cfg \
| flow-print
srcIP dstIP prot srcPort dstPort octets packets
188.8.131.52 10.8.3.199 6 4983 25 497 9
184.108.40.206 10.8.3.199 6 2379 25 509 9
184.108.40.206 10.8.3.199 6 3012 25 232 5
Arrange this in any order you like with
If a particular connection strikes your interest, you can go into further detail on it with a customized flowdumper expression, or use one of the reports built into
flow-print(1). One day, your email administrator will thank you on bended knee for this data--if it occurs to him that it might possibly be available, that is. Fortunately, you can provide this data for any service provided by your network! Once you implement Netflow, you will wonder how you ever solved any problems without it.

As Unemployment Falls, 'Biggest Risk' To Job Growth Is 'Self-Inflicted Damage From Bad Policy Decisions'
Despite steady job growth in November, policies like those being debated as part of the so-called "fiscal cliff" negotiations in Washington could damage further employment gains, progressive economists and analysts say. The U.S. economy added 146,000 jobs last month, and the national unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, its lowest level since December 2008, the time of the financial crash, according to data released Friday by the federal government. "Despite the devastation from Hurricane Sandy, the U.S. economy showed remarkable resilience adding 146,000 jobs in November. The economy continues heading in the right direction, though still not fast enough. The biggest risk to a stronger labor market remains the potential for self-inflicted damage from bad policy decisions," says Adam Hersh, … Continue reading

On Target for a Cure
On Target for a Cure Science on Flight Day 11 of MSL-1
Pictures that look more like the works of Salvador Dali or a movie special effects house are leading biomedical researchers closer to understanding the basic structures of life and, from there, to figuring out how to cure many diseases that have dogged the human race for centuries.
As NASA's protein crystal growth (PCG) program makes its 35th flight aboard the Space Shuttle, several products are showing great promise as they move into the final stages of human clinical trials, Dr. Lawrence Delucas, a principal investigator from the University of Alabama in Birmingham told reporters Thursday afternoon.
"Space has played a critical role" in bringing many of these new drugs closer to reality, he said.
Delucas is the principal investigator for the Vapor Diffusion Apparatus (VDA-2) aboard the MSL-1 mission. He also is director of the Center for Macromolecular Crystallography at UAB, and was a payload specialist on the first U.S. Microgravity Laboratory (USML-1) Spacelab mission in 1992.
The Space Sciences Laboratory at NASA's Marshall
Space Flight Center is NASA's center of excellence in this field.
"To determine a crystal's structure, you need a continuous supply, maybe even for an entire year," Delucas said, "and even more to design a drug that works with it. We need a constant supply of crystals to determine the three-dimensional structure."
Thus, the public has read the same story about the same specimens being carried again. They had to be as scientists focused on a different aspect of the structure and, in the process of X-raying the specimen, destroyed it. Science demands hundreds of specimens and tests before accepting a conclusion.
Now, the payoff is about to arrive.
In seven years, space-based PCG work research has defined the structures of 30 proteins. Often these are represented, as in this story, as models generated by a CMC computer program called Ribbons.
Delucas listed several therapies that are in various stages of human clinical trials. It should be stressed that no cures have been announced, and that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration must review the results and then decide whether to authorize use by the medical community. Many promising drugs have failed at the last stages of testing.
Close to completing testing is a treatment for T-cell lymphoma, an aggressive cancer. Delucas said that FDA approval probably will be sought in the fall.
Close behind that are drugs to treat psoriasis, a painful skin disease, and rheumatoid arthritis, a disease where the body attacks its own joints.
|Artistic rendering of a molecule linking cloud-like molecules represents the challenge of protein crystallography: finding the structure hidden in an apparent cloud of uncertainty.
The products of these and other efforts will improve the lives of some 1.3 billion people, Delucas said.
In the past, drug design was almost literally hit-or-miss. Penicillin and sulfa, the wonder drugs of the mid-20th century, were fortunate accidents. Penicillin was found in bread mold contaminating a bacterial sample. Sulfa was found when a chemical dye worker did not develop an infection after an industrial accident.
We can't always count on fortune. Bacteria and viruses are learning resistance to these and other drugs. And mankind now faces a host of more sophisticated diseases, as well as old friends that have never succumbed to treatments.
The study of the influenza virus is typical of the approach being taken today as researchers work on rational "targeted" drug design, as symbolized by the opening illustration.
Viruses have been described as bad news wrapped in a protein, a micro-machine that injects itself into a living cell, pirates the cell's chemicals to make copies of itself, then spills out more viruses to repeat the process.
One key to beating a virus is to stop its protein coating from opening up.
Delucas said that space-based PCG has played a "critical role" in deciphering the flu virus' coating.What scientists found is two proteins on the surface that allow the virus to escape from the cell and attack more cells. While the virus mutates to change its appearance and fool the immune system, these two proteins remain unchanged.
Scientists now are developing an inhibitor that padlocks the viral factory.
"It blocks every strain of the flu," Delucas said. "However, the amount of drug needed varies depending on the particular strain that is targeted. This opens the possibility of taking a pill that keeps the flu from getting worse." It does not cure the flu, but holds it at bay - while you have the sniffles and a low fever - until the immune system catches up and can beat the invader.
Similar work was done on Staphylococcus aureus, a vicious bacteria that is immune to most drugs.
Scientists found that S. aureus has several amino acids on the surface that work together to "allow the bacteria to grab collagen (a basic structure in cells) like a hand so the bacteria can enter the body."
The region is 45 angstroms across,about 1/20 millionth of an inch, an immense distance in atomic terms. So scientists, with the structure in hand thanks to PCG work, tinkered with each of the amino acids. It turns out that, like a string of cheap Christmas tree lights, knocking out any one amino acid disabled the whole mechanism. If S. aureus can't hang on, it can't get in and colonize human tissue.
The next step, Delucas said, is to design a drug that will mimic collagen and bind to at least one of the bacteria's surface amino acids and thus keep it from getting a foothold.
Other diseases under study with the VDA-2 include:
- Factor D, an important part of the immune system in treating stroke and heart surge patients. This work was "stumped for a year" until space samples provided higher quality crystals. Human trials start in the fall.
- Chagas disease, a crippling, parasitic affliction carried by the Kissing Bug. Both parasite and bug are immune to treatment. The tropical disease, now found in 150,000 people in the U.S., wastes muscle tissues until the victim dies. With help from Central and South American researchers who have pulled specimens from the rain forests, work is moving ahead on a compound that blocks a key protein in Chagas.
- Diabetics may avoid some of the long-term damage caused by insulin injections which make the dosage take wide swings. Slow-acting insulin is injected as a crystal that slowly dissolves in the body. The problem is that the binder is toxic, so only small crystals can be used. Delucas said that space-grown insulin samples have allowed researchers to understand the structure of the binder and to start work on an inert binder.
PCG work in space is just getting started, though. Delucas explained that only 20 percent of the specimens flown succeed, partly because scientists are still learning the ideal growth conditions which vary with each protein, partly because the two-week duration of a Shuttle mission is just long enough to start crystal growth for many samples.
"With the International Space Station, we won't have that problem, and we're going to see the success rate go way up," he said.

The clinic will be closed until Aug. 5 when Twin Fountains Medical Clinics, owned by Dr. John McNeill, takes over the operation.
Raymond Ramos, vice president/chief operating officer at Christus Spohn Beeville, said that it's not only hospital staff but the entire medical community that has offered their help during this transition to ensure that the patients are cared for adequately.
Likewise, staff from the Christus Spohn Medical Group will remain at the clinic until October to assist patients in obtaining their medical records.
"We are going to keep staff working there in the clinic working side by side with Dr. McNeill's staff," said Linda McKenna, vice president with physicians services at Christus Spohn Medical Group. "We will be able to provide immediate on-scene, on-site medical records."
McKenna said that they notified doctors at the clinic 90 days out that they would not be renewing their contract.
She, however, would not say why the decision was made to discontinue the service other than it was "multi-factorial."
The medical group purchased the clinic two years ago. Today, Saturday, that contract expires.
Throughout at least the past 90 days, officials with the medical group have been in negotiations with a couple of groups, including Dr. McNeill, who has clinics in Victoria, Port Lavaca and Rockport.
McKenna said that, while the hospital had made the decision to discontinue the service there, that didn't mean the clinic would close.
"There was always the option (the doctors) could continue to operate the clinic. It just would not be a CPN clinic," she said.
McKenna said that a similar situation occurred in George West when discussion surrounded the closing of that clinic. Ultimately, the decision was made to continue it as part of the Christus Spohn Medical Group.
In Beeville, Christus Spohn Hospital staff members are preparing for a substantial renovation to its emergency room.
Fortunately that work won't begin until after this Beeville clinic reopens Aug. 5 as a Twin Fountains branch.
Ramos said that when the emergency room work is complete, it will have a new fast track room for those patients needing treatment for such illnesses as sore throats and smaller cuts, along with overall increased capacity and a more efficient layout.
These renovations, costing between $850,000 to 900,000, are needed Ramos said because of the increase in patients coming through the ER doors.
Construction also will be done in several phases instead of all at once.
"We have to keep the ER running, even with the construction going on," Ramos said.
Once complete, the emergency room staff will be better able to handle the increase in the number of patients entering.
"This fiscal year just closed, and we saw about a 14 percent increase in ER visits from last fiscal year," Ramos said. "Many of those are attributed to accidents along Highway 181... and other areas in the Eagle Ford Shale."
This increase is in contrast to an overall hospital population of about a third the total occupancy.
Ramos said the hospital's daily occupancy averages about 21 patients.
"It is low compared to some of our other facilities. If we can have the hospital full every day, that is the goal of any administrative team."
He said that the addition of local general surgeons would likely increase the number of patients.
"We are licensed for 69 beds," Ramos said. "You want to meet the needs of a community."
Currently, the hospital contracts to have a surgeon at the hospital during the week, but Ramos wants to have two surgeons on staff who could be available at any time — including weekends.
Couple that with finding ways to bring in more primary care physicians, and the hospital would see an increase in patients, Ramos said.
All of it takes time, but Katy Kiser, communications manager, said that the hospital and the medical group are willing to do what it takes to improve service in the area.
"Christus Spohn Hospital Beeville is here to stay," she said.

The word "nosocomial" can be contrasted with "iatrogenic", which describes an infection, disease, etc., acquired from a doctor's treatment.

Nosocomial versus iatrogenic. Doctors may aggravate illness. But ancillary caregivers can also cause a lot of trouble. Some efficiency expert in hospital where I worked had idea that labor would be saved by no longer washing sheets on medical and surgical wards. So heavily fecally soiled sheets were thrown down the laundry chutes, and it was several years before some genius discovered that fecally coated laundry chutes were blasting bacterial aerosols into wards every time chutes were used.

one of my subscribers suggested the word 'nosoconial' to me, under the misguided(!) impression that he had found an obscure military term. this is by way of saying that we shouldn't be surprised that the only traffic here previously was the slightly misplaced (but ineluctably serendipitous) 'ballroom' thread.

There was an article in New England Journal of Medicine back in middle 50's about a situation that combined nosocomial and iatrogenic. A search for source of infections with a particular strain of antibiotic resistant staphylococcus in Mass General revealed that an anesthetist was a rectal carrier, and in passing flatus in OR had spread aerosols of the bacteria. I have wondered how his ostracism from OR might have been made unnecessary. Perhaps an astronaut suit.

I'm a newcomer here, so please tolerate my redundancy if a similar response has already been posted.
Correction: "iatrogenic" means caused by healing or curing processes, not caused by doctors. It is a common misconception that doctors do the healing, when, in hospitals most definitely, and often in other settings, healing is facilitated by the actions of many others. The most numerous "others" are nurses, who come in all shapes and forms, from nurse assistants to PhD researchers. (And, of course, ultimately healing is effected by our own bodies, not the actions of others.)

Welcome! You will find the cure effected by this establishment is completely unique, and probably far worse than the illness you bring here...
Tell us more, 'cause I am otherwise just relying on standard look-up:
i·at·ro·gen·ic (ī-ăt'rə-jĕn'ĭk)
Induced in a patient by a physician's activity, manner, or therapy. Used especially of an infection or other complication of treatment.
i·at'ro·gen'i·cal·ly adv.

Ooops.....I'd always thought the Greek root iatr referred to healing, but apparently not:
From Merriam-Webster:
One entry found for iatrogenic.
Main Entry: iat·ro·gen·ic
Pronunciation: (")I-"a-tr&-'je-nik
Function: adjective
Etymology: Greek iatros physician + English -genic
Date: 1924
: induced inadvertently by a physician or surgeon or
by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures <an
iatrogenic rash>
- iat·ro·gen·i·cal·ly /-'je-ni-k(&-)lE/ adverb
I guess this lets us nurses off the hook.

And when an iatrogenic disease occurs, guess who gets sued.

You are so right. There's a fundamental injustice in suing the physician when so many others are involved in the care of the individual. Only occasionally is an injury attributable to a single indiviudal, but of course, truth and justice are not necessarily what the malpractice lawyer is seeking. This is one of my personal pet peeves (AKA ppp's).
Although, let me add, in an even further digression from the topic of the thread, that physicians themselves have contributed to this state of affairs by insisting upon the "captain of the ship" model of leadership versus a more collaborative model wherein the contributions of others are valued and widely acknowledged.

I've been spending a significant part of this summer in conversation with educators in places ranging from Watsonville, California to Livonia, Michigan to Belle Fourche, South Dakota to Springdale, Arkansas, courtesy of the Dakota Digital Writing Sandbox, what I'm thinking of as a Modest Open Online Community (in contradistinction to the much-ballyhooed Massive Open Online Courses) that is bringing together 67 teachers and tech specialists who are exploring the challenges and opportunities of working with new media forms and new technologies in classrooms.
The connective tissue of this community is the National Writing Project, and I found my point of entry into the Dakota Digital Writing Sandbox through an invitation circulated through the Bay Area Writing Project (BAWP), a community of teachers of writing in Northern California to whom I'm eternally indebted for being an extraordinary source of support and inspiration as I was building my practice as a teacher. The BAWP spirit and ethos can be found in the Bi-Co community in the Teaching and Learning Institute, about which you can learn more here: www.brynmawr.edu/tli/)
In the first two weeks of class, I've been learning about how teachers in under-resourced elementary students are working to ensure that their students can get the tech access that gives them the tools that can support their processes of inquiry; I've been privy to in-depth discussions about the utility and the drawbacks of different virtual platforms for course work that takes place outside of the classroom; I've benefited from hearing experienced educators speak frankly about the successes and failures they've experienced in their own practice when using new media forms — all of which is feeding into the work that I'm putting into the creation of the syllabus for the course that I'll be teaching this fall in tandem with Ken Koltun-Fromm, a professor in the Religion department at Haverford in which we are thinking about how the generative tension between image and text that we find in graphic narratives can be explored and animated in new media forms.
As the title suggest, the Dakota Digital Writing Sandbox is affording participants the opportunity to try out new technological tools in a context that encourages experimentation and play, where you have folks around you offering suggestions, cheering you on, and helping you dust yourself off when you fall face first. Many of the people taking part in the course know one another from Dakota Writing Project workshops, or from other sites such as BAWP, so there is an already-constituted collegiality into which new folks are being invited, and the organizers have created a structure in which smaller groups of about a dozen convene in weekly on-line chats in which we are able to respond to one another's ideas and questions in real time.
Thus while most of the educational press is focused on the future of Massive Open Online Courses, methinks that it would be well worth to shine some light on what I'm thinking of as Modest Open Online Communities which show the radical potential inherent in building an intellectual community focused on a circle of 60 or a dozen — reminded here of Margaret Mead's quotation "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

Sunday Synopis: 2011 November 6
Regarding writing, I had back-to-back writing groups last Tuesday, and to an extent, I am still reeling. For one group, I edited what is most likely, the opening of the memoir for the Ranch Years, "The Burning Haystack." I think it is close to the mark as the initiating moment of the backstory. May need to review in terms of fleshing out the characters.
For the second group; Although, I wasn't on tap for presentation that night, we had four presentations to critique as learning exercises. For this coming week, I wrote a rough draft for another chapter (not necessarily in order); this one has the working title of "Bitsy, Mud Pies and Hacksaw Blades." A more difficult piece -- I cannot afford to gloss over the learning moments presented here, the editing, rewrite, and all around futzing is time consuming and fretful.
Regarding my latest object of interest surrounding James P. McPherson, I have thoroughly devoured (crumpled and krimped pages, underlined and highlighted passages makes the book look as though a dragon was using it as nesting material) Dorothy Thompson's The Chartists. Now I have so many more unanswered, and most likely unanswerable, questions in regards to J.P., his father-in-law, and friends and their relationship to the Chartist movement. With the reading and research behind me, I can no get back to being more investigative and analytical in regards to J.P.s life and times.
As far as blogging, this was a light weight week, with only the transcription of the 1841 letter to J.P. submitted as an Amanuensis Monday post. Interesting, but short on content. I wasn't ready to do my Thursday Thoughts on the Chartist, so perhaps that will show up this coming week, Also had other commitments on Saturday and not organized enough to have a prescheduled Surnname Satureday offering.
As I said, an odd week.

Looking forward to your Thursday Thoughts. Your writing groups sound like they are putting you through your paces.ReplyDelete
You might not have been blogging but you've sure been busy. Sounds asi some of the writing was challenging...never easy creating something. Love the dragon nest concept. Keep persevering!ReplyDelete
Carol, Jacqi and Cassmob, thanks so much for reading and commenting. I am loving the writing groups, but with both groups meeting on Tuesdays I have to keep focused --- at least for the next 4 weeks --then the pressure will ease off -- for writing at least.ReplyDelete
Every once in a while, my grandmother's words of caution about treating books with the upmost care comes back to me --- but in the my day to day world, when I am into a book, it does indeed become dragon nesting material. Now I understand why I dinna go to libraries all that much. Libraries really frown on that kind of behavior.
Thanks again for reading and commenting.

What is psychology?
Psychology is the study of behavior and mental processes. It is a diverse field. If a human does it or thinks it, psychologists study it. Subfields within psychology include:
- Cognitive: How people sense, perceive, learn, remember, speak, think, reason and problem-solve
- Social: How people think about, interact with, and are influenced by others
- Biological: How thought and behavior are mediated by the nervous system
- Comparative: Similarities and differences between humans and other animals
- Developmental: How our thoughts and behaviors change throughout our lifespan
- Personality: How individuals have persistent traits that endure throughout a lifetime and how these traits differ from person to person
- Abnormal: How to describe, predict and modify abnormal behavior and thoughts
Clinical psychologists apply what is learned to help those with mental disorders, but, increasingly, psychology's application is not limited to those in distress. Psychologists give advice to help people reach their potential, suggest ways to organize work environments to maximize productivity and happiness, help teachers more effectively reach their students, inform the legal system as to the pitfalls of eyewitness testimony, and seek to find ways in which doctors can better communicate the risks and benefits of particular procedures to their patients, to name only a few.
What can you do with a psychology degree?
A degree in psychology assures that you will have developed critical thinking, interpersonal, written and oral communication, statistical, and research skills that are useful in most domains. To become a research or applied psychologist, a Ph.D. (or sometimes a Psy.D.) is a prerequisite. However, a B.A. or B.S. in psychology is desirable to employers in many areas, including advertising, childcare, consulting, customer services, educational services, financial services, government services, human resources, law enforcement, marketing, public relations, management, social services, teaching and, of course, counseling.
What is special about psychology at Sweet Briar?
Sweet Briar offers both a B.A. and B.S. in psychology. Although all psychology majors gain research experience, the B.S. is specifically designed for students who intend to go to graduate school and need strong research experience. The B.A. is more flexible, allowing students to tailor the major to their own specific interests. The strengths of Sweet Briar's program rest on a small group of dedicated faculty who teach a wide variety of courses that span the field. Most courses have between 5 and 15 students, assuring a high level of student-faculty interaction. Research and internship opportunities are readily available, and faculty are always happy and willing to mentor motivated students on independent projects. Psychology majors at Sweet Briar are intelligent independent young women who receive a top-notch education in one of science's most diverse fields.
As part of Sweet Briar College, the Department of Psychology has as its mission the promotion of intellectual development in the context of a liberal arts and sciences education. We help students understand the methods and major theories of the science of psychology, develop their skills in oral and written communication, quantitative reasoning and computer technology. We encourage an ethic of service in applying psychological knowledge. The psychology department provides an educational experience that sets clear and high expectations for students, promotes self-expression and active learning in the classroom, gives constructive and systematic feedback from faculty and peers, and encourages a sense of community spirit within and beyond the confines of Sweet Briar College.


text: Ok well I have made to much milk from the beginning by the time we understood what was going on DS was 2 months old and long story short I have been down regulating my supply for 6 wks. I started block nursing at 7 hrs and every week thereafter I go down by 1/2 hr. Well this week (and I don't know why) I ignored my instincts and tried to go down 1/2 hr every 2 days while watching stools and moods for any changes. Well DS has had no changes except that today when I changed his diaper there was a tiny streek of BLOOD!! I have been through a terrible experience with my best friends DS and I have seen the worst case scenario. So maybe I am more apprehensive than I need to be, but nonetheless I am REALLY UPSET! At the beginning of this week i was at 4 hrs of block nursing. I am thinking maybe I should return to that or should I only go back to 3 1/2 hrs. The whole time I have been doing the block nursing he has been fine no fussiness (except for wonderful teeth). Then this week I went and screwed it up by 3 wks worth of time reductions in 4 days. Could he really be messed up internally or will he be ok if I just return to how I was handling it previously? Please help I am a MESS.

Alcohol and Cancer Connection?
By Health Day
You've likely heard about studies that suggest a glass of wine might be good for your heart.
But now new research points to a major concern about alcohol and other areas of your health...
According to a new report in the American Journal of Public Health...alcohol use accounts for approximately 3-point-5 percent of all cancer deaths in the United States.
Researchers looked at U.S. mortality records from 2009 concentrating on 7 specific types of cancer. They cross-referenced the data with alcohol consumption numbers collected in two different national surveys.
Results showed that an estimated 18 to 21 thousand alcohol-attributable cancer deaths occurred that year.
The majority of those deaths.. 48 percent to 60-percent occurred among people who drank more than 3 drinks per day.
But consuming less than one-and-a-half drinks per day was still connected to approximately 30-percent of the deaths.
In women, the alcohol-cancer connection was most noted in breast cancer cases. While in men, upper airway and esophageal cancer deaths were more common.
This is the first comprehensive study of alcohol-connected cancer deaths in the United States in more than 30 years...
Researchers say their findings suggest there's no safe amount of alcohol when it comes to certain types of cancer.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV your source for ideas to protect your health.

Watertown Police Identify Stabbing Victim
Watertown city police have released the name of the man who died Sunday night in a stabbing at an apartment on Public Square.
The victim is identified as 34 year old Henry Perkins Jr. of 1526 State Street in Watertown.
Police said they were called to 117 J.B. Wise Place, Apartment 202, at 6:45 p.m. after receiving a report of a stabbing.
There have been no arrests.
Lieutenant Frank Derrigo, spokesperson for the Watertown Police Department, said investigators were leaning towards having a person of interest.
Police confirmed that Perkins had been stabbed on September 4, 2012 during a domestic dispute.
The incident happened at 619 Bronson Street.
At the time, police said the victim suffered a superficial wound to the right side of his back.
Police said he was stabbed with a kitchen knife during a domestic incident.
City police said they're working with the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office as well as the county Medical Examiner's Office.
No other information was released.
What follows is our report from earlier:
Police released few details Sunday night. Investigators and representatives of the Jefferson County District Attorney's office were at the scene at 101 Public Square.
Police said the stabbing took place in apartment 202, which is above the former "Rent A Zone" store.
Investigators were seen removing bags of evidence from the apartment.
"We conducted a search and seized several items of interest to the investigation," said Lieutenant Frank Derrigo, department spokesman.
The name of the victim was not released overnight; police said they were in the process of notifying the next of kin.
