I've been finding more and
more uses for the
{} pattern-expansion characters in
csh, tcsh, and bash. They're
similar to
?, and
[], but they
don't match
filenames the way that
?, and
do. You can give them
arbitrary text (not just filenames) to expand. That "expand-anything"
ability is what makes them so useful.
Here are some examples to get you thinking:
To fix a typo in a filename (change fixbold5.c to fixbold6.c):
mv fixbold{5,6}.c
An easy way to see what the shell does with
{} is by adding echo before the mv:
echo mv fixbold{5,6}.c
mv fixbold5.c fixbold6.c
To copy filename to filename.bak in one easy step:
cp filename{,.bak}
To print files from other directory(s) without retyping the whole pathname:
lpr /usr3/hannah/training/{ed,vi,mail}/lab.{ms,out}
That would give lpr all of these files:
/usr3/hannah/training/ed/lab.ms /usr3/hannah/training/ed/lab.out /usr3/hannah/training/vi/lab.ms /usr3/hannah/training/vi/lab.out /usr3/hannah/training/mail/lab.ms /usr3/hannah/training/mail/lab.out
...in one fell swoop!
To edit ten new files that don't exist yet:
vi /usr/foo/file{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j}
That would make /usr/foo/filea, /usr/foo/fileb, ... /usr/foo/filej. Because the files don't exist before the
command starts, the wildcard
/usr/foo/file[a-j] would not work.
An easy way to step through three-digit numbers 000, 001, ..., 009, 010, 011, ..., 099, 100, 101, ... 299 is:
foreach n ({0,1,2}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}) ...Do whatever with the number $n... end
Yes, csh also has built-in arithmetic,
but its
@ operator can't make numbers with leading zeros.
This nice trick shows that the
{} operators are
good for more than just filenames.
To create sets of subdirectories:
mkdir man%
mkdir man/{man,cat}{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}%
ls -F mancat1/ cat3/ cat5/ cat7/ man1/ man3/ man5/ man7/ cat2/ cat4/ cat6/ cat8/ man2/ man4/ man6/ man8/
To print ten copies of the file project_report (if your lpr command doesn't have a -#10 option):
lpr project_repor{t,t,t,t,t,t,t,t,t,t}

March 16, 2011—North Central College's Summer Language Institute offers international students the opportunity to study English during intensive multi-week programs set in both classroom and informal environments.
Participants in the Summer Language Institute stay on campus or with local relatives. The courses are ideal for Chicago-area residents with family or friends from other countries who want to sharpen their English skills during study in the United States. North Central College provides applicants with the necessary documentation to apply for student visas in their home country.
The credit courses include instruction in speaking, listening, reading and writing, with grammar and vocabulary integrated into each area. The program incorporates practice in cross-cultural living and communication, with special emphasis on becoming familiar with American culture. Classes are taught by English Language Learning (ELL) professional faculty, all of whom have at least a master's degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
"The Summer Language Institute is an affordable way for residents of Naperville and surrounding areas to invite their relatives from abroad to spend the summer with North Central College in an intensive ESL situation," says Kelly Pilleux, international student advisor. "The program is designed for ages 15 to 30 and includes on-campus meals and housing if desired, full-time ESL, weekly cultural activities and Chicago field trips, involvement with current students and access to all of the College's amenities. Students take a placement test and are arranged in appropriate levels and take classes in reading, writing, listening and speaking and also an elective class."
The Summer Language Institute is a four-week program from July 16 through Aug. 13. Due to the academic calendar in Japan, a three-week option for students from Japan is available July 31 through Aug. 20. Fees include program, room and board, books, activities, a weekend home stay with a local family and health insurance. Students wishing to live off-campus may attend at the non-resident rate. Applications and deposits are due May 15 for both programs.

With an ailing bullpen and struggling closer, the Phillies needed Cliff Lee to go deep into Monday's opener against San Diego. Lee went eight plus innings, but the Phillies imploded once again, blowing a three run lead in the ninth before allowing the Padres to walk off with the 4-3 win in the tenth.
Jonathan Papelbon blew his fourth save in his last five chances, and the Phillies offense failed again to get the key hit, going 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position including 0-for-2 with the go-ahead run on third in the tenth.
The Padres won on a Kyle Blanks walk-off single after Justin De Fratus loaded the bases with two walks and a hit batsmen.
It's just the way this whole season has been going.
Another blown save for Papelbon
He was not exactly set up for success. Papelbon, who had blown three saves during the homestand, entered with nobody out and two men on base, after having only one outing this year with an inherited runner to deal with. Lee was partially to blame, and Manuel and maybe Ruiz too, but Papelbon still could not get the job done. He allowed a two-run single to Kyle Blanks, and eventually allowed the tying run to come across when Ruiz could not handle a low pitch that skipped to the back stop.
This one might not have been all Papelbon's fault, but it was ugly just the same, and he has really been struggling.
What can you do with this bullpen?
At this point, there might not be a single pitcher in the bullpen that can be trusted to get outs. Injuries and underperformance from relievers have cost the Phillies countless games this year, and it just keeps continuing. The same guys keep trotting out and the same guys keep giving up runs. This was just a bad, bad loss.
Lee's line doesn't tell the whole story
Lee did allow two runs and received a no decision, but the left-hander pitched brilliantly for eight innings before allowing two basrunners in the ninth, who both eventually scored. He did not allow a hit until the fourth inning, and he scattered six hits from then until the ninth. Lee struck out seven batters for the eighth time this year, and walked one or fewer for the tenth time.
Even with the two earned runs in eight innings, Lee's earned run average continues to drop, as he now sits at 2.51, which is good for ninth in the league.
Up Next…
Tomorrow, Kyle Kendrick (6-4, 3.56 ERA) will try to stop the three-game losing streak for the Phillies as he gets the ball in game two of this three game series. His counterpart will be veteran right-hander Jason Marquis (9-2, 3.59 ERA). First pitch is at 10:10 ET.

Painful on so many levels.
On the bright side Maikel Franco went 3 for 4 today and is batting .524, at this rate he should be at AAA by next season with a possible 2014 September call up if all goes right.
Anybody else for bringing back Wilson Valdez as the closer?
In what world do you live, Al? They will bury franco in minors for as long as possible
Hey, they brought Galvis up at 22 and his numbers were never even close to Franco's, If the kid kills at AAA I think its quite possible he sees some action in September of 2014.
Obviously this more than a year away, and numerous of things could occur, but its nice to have some hope in something.
Me thinks crazy Papelhead is messing up on purpose to get traded.
A few things. I've seen facts on this site be wrong a few times. I don't even get to watch the games due to being in NY but even I know they have only lost 2 straight. They won the middle game against the Mets. How does no one else notice errors in these articles?
Second I didn't get to watch the game so why did Lee not have a shorter leash in the ninth? Once the first base runner got on he would've been done. We're they weak hits that the fielders didn't back him on or was Charlie just being Charlie and not really paying attention?
It really sucks to see Pablebon blowing these saves. Not only are we losing games that we should win but he's hurting his trade value. Teams are going to bring that up in trade negotiations and won't give us as much.
Papsmear should get benched. Bad aditude.
Now we have to worry about Papelbon, too? Ugh. What an annoying season.
When you approach this season as lost there should be no worries until the trade deadline at which point you can worry about RAJ making the correct moves. You can worry about him overvaluing his players or our scouting department misjudging another team's players. But as for game situations , no more worries sit back and enjoy.
these are the Phillies I remember growing up with in the late 50's. you have to be positive, Cliff Lee increases his value every time he pitches. Looks like Chase would make a good DH.Now is there anyone in this organization that can make a good trade?I think at this point that is our biggest question, can we get value for value? We have to make the most of the little talent we have to rebuild for the future.
Some day Utley would make a good DH, but based on all the stats he is still a very good fielder, and for the next year or two (and certainly for this year's two-month rental), he will likely still be one of the best all-around second basemen in the game.
Unfortunately it looks like it's going to be wall-to-wall trade deadline talk for the next 5 weeks.
I think Utley will play first base for a while after he's done with second, before he becomes a dh…
I know the jury's still out but it doesn't look like the returns from last year's Pence and Victorino trades are very substantial.
Ridiculous… the nationals and braves can barely tread water right now and we can't capitalize when we need to this team is pathetic and it needs a big overhaul… a whole new philosophy all the way around…
Glad I sayed up to watch that horrid ending. Looks like the karma train is running all over Psychotron. My hope is officially exhausted. Time to sell. But who? And for whom?
Glad I didn't watch the game…I would have had to call in sick today. This team seems to find new ways to lose every week. A PB by Chooch…REALLY?!? Didn't they lose on a wild pitch a week or so ago?
There was no reason to run Lee out in the 9th at 109 pitches. Should have brought Pap in to start the 9th clean. Plenty of blame to go around for yet another pathetic loss.
If Charlie had brought in Pabelbon and he had blown the save everyone would have screamed. He leaves in Lee who sets up the blown save and people blame Charlie. Ruiz has a passed ball and people blame Pabelbon.
I am beyond the blame game. Fact is the team rarely scores more than 3 runs which combined with the MLB worst ERA (say it with me – worst ERA) is beyond managerial or anyother blame.
To me everyone but Hamels (who is having a bad year but too good and young to trade) and Brown (who has some promise and is cheap) should be on the trading block. Does not mean that you trade them all but you certainly consider offers that will strengthen the team.
You simply cannot risk millions on a muliyear multimillion dollar contract with Utley. Halliday is too old even if he makes a comeback.
This season is a mirror image of last season. It's hard to believe that in a year and a half of baseball, we haven't found one dependable reliever.
No fun watching this team. No more season tickets for me.
We sold 13 of our 17 games this year and I'm glad we did. We will definitely be cancelling after this season.
I absolutely HATE this team. I will NOT watch them any more this year until they are above .500. Simply put, I can't take it any more
Hey "Choley," maybe you should get in the faces of some of your players. Instead of a reporter.
He may be. We don't know.
I highly doubt it… their play is very nonchalant almost like they don't care…. it was nice to see some fire out of old Charlie, but I still think it's time for him to go
"their play is very nonchalant almost like they don't care"
I actually think they care very much.
Looks like it
lol – ok. Constantly failing will tend to give that impression. They're just not that good.
I'll agree on that point
The rats are abandoning ship, even though it hasn't sank yet.
Get a grip, rats.

- Title
- Quantification of greenhouse gases at Visy Industries using life cycle assessment
- Author(s)
- Wiegard, Jean
- Abstract
- Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are vital components of the earth's atmosphere, trapping heat around the earth, maintaining temperatures necessary for human existence. Until the Industrial Revolution, these gases existed in a natural equilibrium with the environment. Since that time, anthropogenic activities such as fossil fuel burning and land clearing have increased the quantity of GHGs, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), in the earth's atmosphere. Evidence indicates that global warming is occurring as a result of the additional accumulation of GHGs in the atmosphere. International response to climate change resulted in the 1997 development of the Kyoto Protocol. If the Protocol is ratified, developed countries will be legally bound to reduce their GHG emissions in accordance with negotiated emission reduction targets. At the beginning of the year 2001, the Protocol was still to be ratified. With the possibility of future GHG emission restrictions, some Australian companies have started quantifying their GHG emission levels. One such company is Visy Industries, the largest privately owned paper packaging manufacturing company in the world. Visy's core business is the manufacture of cardboard boxes from recycled paper. As part of its future operations, a kraft pulp and paper mill is presently being built in New South Wales, Australia. The environmental decision support tool, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), was used to quantify Visy's CO2 and CH4 emissions across the entire life cycle of the Visy paper recycling and virgin papermaking processes. Commercially defined LCA models were developed for both papermaking processes. GHG emissions estimated by each model were compared and the effect of different energy sources, technologies and manufacturing processes on CO2 and CH4 emissions were assessed. The majority of emissions in the two Visy papermaking models were due to fossil fuel derived energy sources and the decomposition of wood fibre in Solid Waste Disposal Sites (SWDSs). Results were used to propose appropriate GHG reduction strategies and business opportunities. GHG reduction strategies included increasing the use of renewable energy, reducing the volume of solid waste rejects sent to SWDS, incinerating solid waste rejects with energy recovery and sourcing steam from third party providers. Proposed GHG business opportunities included increasing the production of Greenpower from the pulp and paper mill for sale to the grid. This thesis is an example of the practical application of current GHG knowledge and LCA methodology that was undertaken in an environment where technical, political and commercial guidelines at both a national and international level were still evolving. Nevertheless, the thesis is not a critical review of LCA methodology. The LCA support tool was able to quantify CO2 and CH4 emissions across the life cycle of the Visy recycling and virgin papermaking processes. The chosen functional unit, the assumptions and exemptions made, and the placement of the system boundaries, were found to be critical to the Visy LCA results.

All Berkeley comes together, celebrates hope on MLK Day
It felt like all of Berkeley was represented at yesterday morning's Martin Luther King breakfast celebration down by the bay.
They came from seminaries and temples, political groups, law enforcement, schools, neighborhood associations and government departments — our assemblywoman, mayor, and chief of police were there, as were many church and community leaders, councilmembers, teachers, students, business men and women, and children. (Watch the slideshow of photographs, above, by Nancy Rubin.)
On a crisp winter morning, nearly 400 local people gathered to mark Martin Luther King Day, to share breakfast and to watch together live-streaming of the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States. … Continue reading »

Merry Christmas!
Since I'm likely to be too busy to blog much the next few days, I'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!
I'll be busy wrapping gifts, grocery shopping, last-minute gift shopping, and otherwise losing my sanity! I also plan to eat lots of good food, and spend lots of time enjoying the company of extended family. I hope all of you are able to do the same – well, except the part about losing your sanity!🙂
(never fear, Philadelphia sports fans, my tree also has an Eagles ornament, but I didn't take a picture of it)
Here's wishing all of you a happy and healthy holiday season!

Merry Christma Sue!
Make sure to make time for you! With all you are doing, you need time to rest!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Happy Holiday to you and your family. I know it is a busy time and what a relief when it is all over until next year. But soon after Christmas, spring training starts, so I am happy. I miss baseball.
Hope you and your family not only have the best of days this weekend, but that the laughter and the joy of family warm your household.
Also, a whiye fresh coat of white on the ground might be a great touch.
Merry Christmas and pass the eggnog.

Cool ornament!🙂 I hope 2010 is a good year for you and your family.
Love the sports ornaments…. yes I know late for Christmas wishes, but thats just me, better late than never, right….
Happy New Year

A Team Player For Life
Aaron Coon is a team player, both on and off the field. From his time spent playing varsity soccer to his work with on and off-campus service projects, Aaron has a passion for teaming up with others to achieve a common goal.
As part of a spring break trip, Aaron was able to co-lead a group of students to Birmingham, Alabama; over Christmas break he was part of a group of Dordt College students who traveled to Nicaragua to help construct classrooms and lead Vacation Bible School. On campus, as a leader for the Community Outreach Program, Aaron describes himself "not as the captain, but the water boy. There are already a lot of great servants on Dordt's campus; I just cheer them on and offer help whenever they need it."
In engineering, too, Aaron appreciates the opportunity to work as a team member, especially in labs. "In most of our projects, the work is split up. This allows us to work efficiently, but it also puts pressure on each member to carry their weight: the learning of the entire group depends on it."
All of these experiences have helped Aaron understand the importance of learning from a Christian perspective and working as part of a worldwide team—the body of Christ. "If I went to a state college, I would leave as just an engineer, but when I leave Dordt, not only will I leave as a better engineer, I will leave as a better person, prepared for a life of Christian service."

"The work of priestly formation these days must involve a strong catechetical component since so many of our people have been deficiently formed. The resources you provide are allowing the Church to do a better job in preparing Catholics to know and defend their faith more effectively."
"The tradition of the Apostles has been made manifest throughout the world, and can be found in every Church by those who wish to know the truth."

Booting problems are frequently mistaken for problems with the hard drive. Please refer to Troubleshooting booting issues. Whenever possible, known good parts should be used to replace any suspected bad parts before ordering replacements. For example, swap a suspect hard drive with another drive from a similar system that works correctly. If the problem follows the drive, try completely reloading the operating system on the suspect drive. The operating system install program will typically not complete on a defective drive. If the installation completes and the computer now boots to the operating system desktop, the previously installed operating system was corrupt. If the problem stays with the original computer, suspect the cable or system board. Swap cables next to eliminate them.
Many symptoms such as lockups, hangs, slow performance, rebooting, error messages, etc. are caused by the installation of software that was not preloaded or by viruses, but are incorrectly attributed to the hard drive. Before replacing a hard drive for these symptoms, check the drive using the latest virus definitions. Removal of some viruses may require specific steps using special software to successfully and completely remove the virus. Also, pay careful attention to computer performance after non-preloaded software is installed to identify when offending software is reloaded. Some software can cause significant undesirable results when installed with other software.
Data backup is an important part of any computer security program. Some of the procedures below may result in complete data loss. Make sure all important data has been backed up before continuing.
Operating system considerations
It is important to not confuse operating system limitations with hard drive problems. Different versions of Microsoft operating systems have limitations as to the size of hard drive they may be fully compatible with. For example, Windows XP without any service packs is limited to hard drives of 137GB or less unless registry changes are made. For more information, please refer to document number 303013 at the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://support.microsoft.com.
To troubleshoot IDE hard drive issues, follow these steps and test your hard drive after performing each one: Select the topic you need help with while troubleshooting hard drives.
Note: Before performing any of the steps described below, please review and observe the personal safety and electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions in Safety information to be familiar with before servicing a NetVista or ThinkCentre computer.
Microsoft Windows may run a chkdsk program on boot up if the system was not shut down properly or if it detects a hard drive error on boot up. When the chkdsk program is finished, a list of information will show up on the screen showing various information about how much space is used and available. There may also be another message stating "x number of Sectors on the HDD are Bad" where x is the number of bad sectors that were found. This may be caused by a corrupted file or the hard drive may be bad. The system will attempt to correct the problem. It is recommended that Lenovo Diagnostics Software (Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test) be run to determine if there is a problem with the hard drive, especially if there are a number of these errors showing up or if these messages are happening frequently and the system is being shut down properly.

Let's Get This
Thankfully, Chad Gaudin lost the creepy goatee.
But more than that, he threw an extremely solid outing, which was just what the Padres needed.
After all, without good pitching, you can't win.
Chad threw five innings of three-hit ball with five strikeouts. His pitches were moving well, though he threw 88. We needed that outing.
It might have helped that he had a two-run lead to work with after a few innings. In the third, Scott Hairston hit a two-run homer to left field, almost exactly the same spot that he hit his two-run homer in Game 163 in the top of the 13th. I think Scott likes to hit at Coors Field.
In the sixth, the Rockies got their first run on Seth Smith's solo homer. They took the lead in the seventh on four straight singles, leading 3-2.
Not for long, of course. Top eight, my Padres tied it up with a Chase Headley single.
Edward Mujica gave up a run. Luke Gregerson allowed the two runs in the seventh.
In the bottom of the eighth, Duaner Sanchez pitched. He has not been doing very well this season. Every time he goes out there, he struggles. Last night was no different. With runners on first and third, he walked a guy. One out, of course. Troy Tulowitzki came to the plate, with one hit on the night. He has been struggling, though. He hit into a perfect double play, just what the Padres needed. So Sanchez escaped, but it wouldn't surprise me if he got sent down soon.
Top of the ninth. If we were in Petco Park, they would play "Rally Time" videos to get the crowd pumped. Well, we were in Colorado, but it was rally time anyway.
Nick Hundley started it off with a triple. Perfect! Chris Burke grounded out to third, though, and Luis Rodriguez came to the plate. With a full count, Luis hit one right through the hole between first and second, easily driving in Nick. Padres lead 4-3!
Onto the bottom of the ninth, and Heath "Always Makes It Interesting" Bell. He hadn't pitched since the 18th of April. But he was pumped and ready to go. He struck out Dexter Fowler, and induced a pop-out. Then Todd Helton hit a double. Like I said, Heath really likes to make it interesting. I was almost panicking by now. Heath was cutting it really close!
But he got a grounder to Luis Rodriguez. Luis threw the ball to my Kouz at third, and Helton was tagged out. Whew!!
Heath earned his eighth save in eight chances. That's the best in the National League.
Duaner Sanchez certianly didn't deserve the win but he got it. Chad Gaudin was incredible. It was great to have a starter actually do well!
It was a great 4-3 win. Now I hope we can keep it up in today's rubber game! Kevin Correia will be pitching against Aaron Cook. It would be amazing if we could get this game today!
Also this afternoon is a live chat with Jeff Moorad on padres.com. I'm going to be participating, so if any of you have any questions for Jeff, I will definitely try to get them in there.
Well, we didn't wear the sand last night. Don't wear it again today, boys, please!!

I'd ask Moorad if he's planning to get rid of the sand colored uniforms!
I don't get those uniforms either…they are so military looking. They need to burn them and start over :O)
Bad news – the Padres are wearing those uniforms today! And, we're losing 7-0. Just great….
Nice little run at the end, but maybe next series eh?! If we weren't giving up runs at the end of the game, I might think I wasn't watching the Rockies. You guys are still ahead in the division so give us this series to feel better!
I agree with Jon for the first time. Congrats!! Yay for Padres pride on MLBlogs🙂 You are so lucky that you got to be a part of the chat with Jeff Moorad. I couldn't do it! By the way, that uniform need to get out of Padres' locker room!http://hyunyoung.mlblogs.com
"After all, without good pitching, you can't win."
Oh goodness, and don't I know it. lol. There are certain Mets uniforms I can't stand either. Particularly the grays. Find a color with some life! eesh.
Congratulations on being the headliner on mlblogs. That is very cool and thanks for supporting my blog.
Please don't hate me. Your guys are coming over to Dodger Stadium for a play date with my guys. I do have my fingers crossed that my guys come out on top.
Congrats on the front page headlines! I really enjoy reading your blog. Keep up the good work!Russhttp://wight4256.mlblogs.com

Funny Money / Steroids Discussion
Funny Money
The Phillies 2009 payroll has skyrocketed after a 2008 World Championship has them flying high. With about $104 million dollars last year to play with, 2009 will bring an additional $27.5 million in, giving the Phillies around $131.5 million dollars. This still pales in comparison to the $222.2 million of the Yankees in 2008 or the $143 million of the Mets, but for a team that has won its first championship in 28 years, it is not too shabby.
This kind of play money, however, brings a new level of pressure to the team to contend again in 2009. Failing to do so would be a disaster of extreme monetary proportions. New GM Ruben Amaro Jr. has done an excellent job so far in the off-season signing players, but he still has a hole to fill in the bullpen with JC Romero's bogus 50-game suspension and this team is in desperate need of a right-handed bat. He's got the cash, now where are the players?
In addition to filling team needs, I personally hope Amaro will add some new fan-friendly features to the ballpark. My wish list includes a play area for "big" kids, including the old "Dress Yourself as the Phanatic" area they used to have at the Vet; a water slide – it is always raining in Philly anyway; and of course, I'd like to see batting practice held outside before every game, especially Sunday's! If they are going to bleed the fans dry by hiking prices, they can at least entertain those of us who religiously show up to the ballpark when the gates open. The last few years, BP has been seen less and less. I have had better luck at away games.
Ok, so the water slide is asking a bit much, but batting practice is FREE. And how about getting these guys out on the field to sign some autographs before the game? I mean, aside from Jamie Moyer. Again, also FREE and makes the fans very happy. And with all this money saved, Amaro can now afford that "Rent Your Favorite Player for the Day" program I have been waiting on for a decade now. I get first dibs and I call Chase Utley :O) Sorry ladies, my idea, my choice.
A-Rod Discussion
I have spent days thinking about this whole steroid issue and have mixed feelings on the subject, as many of us do. Of course, I do not condone drug use of any kind and really believe this abuse has not only done individual harm to the players, but has irrevocably damaged the reputation of America's favorite pastime.
Many fans have been alienated as accusations of cheating attached to the biggest names in sports have been steadily spit out into the open.
On the point of Alex Rodriquez, I am angered, frustrated and sympathetic all at the same time. The anger and frustration are obvious. The sympathy? First, why is he being singled out? Where are the other 103 names? And then, let's go back to 2003: Steroid use in baseball was NOT illegal at this time. And the tests that have given us this phantom list of 104 players were voluntary and supposed to be confidential with the results getting destroyed afterwards. This was a poll of players just to see what substances were being used and with what frequency. It was to assist in the development of a proper drug program. Again, I stress the word "voluntary." Who in their right mind would volunteer for a drug test, knowing they may test positive, if they truly thought they had done anything wrong? Knowing they were not, at the time, breaking the rules that MLB had set forth, they did not shy away from the request. For this reason, I do feel a bit sorry for players on this list.
Everyone makes mistakes; some bigger than others. As fellow human beings, are we really in position to judge? Is your house clean as a whistle? Take a cue from our friend at Rays Renegade; he courageously admits to making the same mistake with performance enhancing substances. He quickly realized the error in judgment and turned his life around. He should be commended. Has A-Rod turned the same corner? He has admitted his wrong-doing and feels regret. I think we should cut him at least a little slack. Remove those 3 years from his stats when it comes time for Hall of Fame judging, if you feel you need to, and move on.
Maybe it is because I work with disabled children on a daily basis that I feel the need to forgive more easily; I see the challenges they face every day. Maybe I am just a hippie child who missed the 60's. I cannot be sure, buy my heart is heavy right now and I do not have the strength to persecute anyone. Except maybe, Bud Selig; Mr. Selig has made a three-ring circus out of all this and failed, starting earlier on in his tenure to secure a solid drug prevention and awareness program. Education is paramount, especially with young players under tremendous pressure to succeed. MLB and Mr. Selig flat out failed; they have not gotten the job done and players and fans around the world are paying the price.
Yes, we are all responsible for our own actions. And yes, I am deeply angered and also feel betrayed by the actions of the 104 players on this list. In my eyes, they cheated. But their cheating was born of a lack of education, lack of management, pressure to win and just plain stupidity. It makes it no less wrong, and it does not take away the fact that their reputations will be tarnished forever; but let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Well put, Jenn. When asked if I "forgive" A-Rod, I said, "Of course." Who am I not to forgive a baseball player who lied about doing drugs? Yes, it stinks. Yes, he was wrong. But sanctimony just isn't my thing. Oh, and the fans should absolutely get to watch more batting practice!!!
Thanks a million for that mention.
I do know it would have never given me the edge I needed in speed, or I might have been as dumb as A-Rod.
But the fact is that I have read a lot of blogs that have crucified the guy, and rightly so. But also to be taken into context is the fact that in that time ( 2000-2003 ) MLB did not test exclusively for that type of substance in the majors. 2003 was the beginning of the end of that steroid era.
As always, great information and I hope that addition in payroll can get you back into the 2009 playoffs. I think both east divisions in both leagues will be dogfights from the first bell in 2009. A lot of improved team battling it out for maybe 2 playoff spots makes for fierce competition and fun for the fans.
Rays Renegade
Jenn – one of the issues I have is that one of the substances that A-Rod tested positive for was not legal anywhere in the US. He wasn't just violating some rule of conduct, he was violating US drug laws. You and I would be in jail for doing the same thing. I hope you get your "Rent a Player Day!"
I think it will be a long time before we've all had enough time to properly digest this. In the meantime, I think we should focus on whatever positives we can… and I don't mean drug tests😉
Well, can I rent Chase the day after you? Just don't wear him out too much, OK?😉
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Wow you have your own store and sell shirts? How did you decide to do stuff like that? That is really cool. =)
~King of Cali
Thanks everyone for the comments!
Julia – I here ya; a lot of these guys though did not take illegal drugs, or were given it by their trainers unaware that it was illegal, and they are all going to get crucified equally. And thanks for the Rent a Player vote :O)
Jeff- agreed :O)
Sue – I'll think about it; no promises on wearing him out though ;O)
King – I was making the shirts for myself (I LOVE photoshop) and decided to post them…no profit though; just for fun :O)
Much as I don't like A-Rod I still wonder why he had to be the one that was ostracized– poor guy already gets enough media attention. The fact that he didn't know what he was taking was a bit disconcerting as well. I mean for A-Rod… really? You're right that they can't do anything because it wasn't illegal in '03 but what can we do? Because we have to do something.

Exploring this week's news, our team uncovered a disturbing theme__supply chain risk is everywhere.
Take, for example, an article from this week's Economist titled "Black Gold on the Black Market." The article describes how in 2011 outlaws stole 3.35 million barrels of fuel, worth about $1 billion, from Mexico's state-run oil company, Pemex. Thieves take it from trucks in the desert and siphon it from exposed pipelines. And the problem is getting worse. Last year, Pemex detected 1,324 taps. That's double what it was in 2010.
Stolen oil that is refined can be sold to drivers on Mexican roadsides. Crude oil and natural gas condensate get smuggled into the United States and refined here. The Economist reports that Pemex is working through the US court system to prosecute companies that sell the stolen fuel. "To stamp out oil theft, Pemex will have to be as aggressive inside Mexico as abroad. The company has hired more security staff, invested in monitoring technology, and won stiffer penalties for robbers."
In China, Bloomberg reported a different kind of supply chain threat—counterfeit drugs. Police there arrested more than 1,900 people and seized $182 million worth of fake drugs. It is unclear whether the counterfeit drugs were meant for the Chinese or international market. According to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), counterfeit (or fake) drugs are manufactured using incorrect, inactive, or harmful ingredients. These drugs are then packaged and labeled to look like real brand-name and generic drugs to deceive consumers into thinking that they are buying real drugs.
According to the CDC, "Counterfeit drugs present a worldwide public health problem that is difficult to measure … The World Health Organization estimates that 10 percent to 30 percent of medicines sold in developing countries may be counterfeit, and some studies conclude that the percentage may be even higher. The problem appears to be far less common in the industrialized world, where estimates suggest fewer than 1 percent of medicines sold are counterfeit."
While the stories come from different areas of the world and involve dissimilar products, there is commonality related to their supply chains and the professionals who manage them. There is no doubt those professionals continue to gather and review risk mitigation and management strategies.
Think about the risks to the supply chain with which you work: transportation failure, supplier breakdown, inclement weather, licensing and regulation issues, major quality lapses, loss of customers, or the theft and vandalism outlined previously. Now consider the steps of a risk management framework as they are defined in the APICS Operations Management Body of Knowledge Framework:
Do you have all the necessary skills to properly create a risk management framework? Do your supply chains demonstrate the necessary responsiveness, agility, and efficiency to optimally operate in today's complex environment? APICS now offers a comprehensive, forward-looking program that will prepare professionals to lead risk management activities or participate in the development of global risk mitigation strategy. The APICS Risk Management certificate is awarded to supply chain and operations management professionals who have participated in a 12-hour risk management program delivered in conjunction with APICS conferences and educational events. Find out more information about this important new offering by visiting www.apics.org/risk. Idea exchange
Now, you can take the APICS Operations Management Now discussion to your social networks on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and the APICS Supply Chain Channel. Be sure to use the hashtag #OMNow and include @Tweet_APICS in any tweets to have your words featured on the APICS homepage.

|Breen Confederacy
|Emblem of the Breen Confederacy
|Alpha Quadrant
|Dominion (2375)
|Major Species:
|Breen language
The Breen Confederacy was the official government of the Breen species. This confederacy was located in the Alpha Quadrant. In late 2375, the Breen Confederacy entered the Dominion War, allowing itself to be annexed by the Dominion as the Cardassian Union had been two years prior. (DS9: "'Til Death Do Us Part")
According to the terms of the annexation, the Breen Confederacy received several planets from the Cardassian Union as compensation for joining the war. The Breen would also be given control of the Romulan Star Empire in the post-war galaxy. The Founders also promised the Breen control of Earth, though Weyoun was also given this assurance. The union was negotiated between the Female Changeling and Thot Gor, a prominent official in the Confederacy. (DS9: "Strange Bedfellows")
The Confederacy proved very influential in its first weeks of fighting, thanks to their previously unknown energy dampening weapon, in addition to their conventional forces. The weapon proved decisive in the Second Battle of Chin'toka, allowing the Dominion to retake the system after inflicting huge losses on the Allies. This, of course, served as proverbial "salt in the wound," as it followed a surprise attack on Earth. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil")
However, the Allies were able to capture an example of the Breen weapon, allowing them to develop countermeasures. The Breen continued to fight on the side of the Dominion until the end of the war, demonstrating a willingness to die for the cause comparable to that of the Jem'Hadar. In some respects this dedication actually worked to the benefit of the Allies—the Dominion's increasing reliance on the Breen forces made the Cardassians feel increasingly isolated and abandoned, and was a contributory factor in the Cardassians' eventual split from the Dominion. Ultimately, the Dominion was defeated at the Battle of Cardassia. (DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind", "What You Leave Behind")
The Breen issue disruptor-style sidearms as standard for military personnel. (DS9: "Indiscretion", "Penumbra")

|Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott (Primary character; see Appearances)
James Montgomery Doohan (3 March 1920 – 20 July 2005; age 85) portrayed Montgomery "Scotty" Scott on Star Trek: The Original Series and the first seven Star Trek movies. He also appeared in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Relics" and in the archive footage used in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations". His work as Scotty ranged over a twenty-nine year period, with his first being in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and his last appearance being in Star Trek Generations.
Early life & World War II Edit
Doohan was born in March of 1920 in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. Shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War, nineteen-year-old Doohan enlisted as a gunner in the Royal Canadian Artillery. After rising through the ranks to Sergeant, he won a place at Officer Training School, becoming a Lieutenant in the 13th Field Artillery Regiment.
On 6 June 1944, Doohan, by then promoted to Command Post Officer (Captain), was among the Canadian forces sent to take Juno Beach in Normandy as part of the D-Day invasion. He was in command of 120 men. That night, Doohan was hit by machine-gun fire when returning to his command post, sustaining wounds in the leg, right hand and chest – a cigarette case caught a bullet that would otherwise have killed him – and lost the middle finger of his right hand (because of this injury, outside of rare occasions, Doohan would conceal that portion of his right hand in film shots.) "I was twenty-four," Doohan wrote in his book Beam Me Up, Scotty, "And if the Germans had been marginally better shots, I wouldn't have seen twenty-five."
After convalescing in England, Doohan became a qualified pilot at 43 Operational Training Unit, Andover, England, winning Air Observation Post pilot's wings in early 1945. He was posted to 666 (AOP) RCAF Squadron, where he flew the AUSTER Mark V aircraft, a dangerous, low-level flight tasking for artillery officers who photographed enemy positions, and directed artillery fire from the air. Although 666 (AOP) RCAF Squadron was not sent into battle, the unit was stationed at Apeldoorn, Holland, through the summer of 1945 to conduct "air taxi" duties, as documented in the 1945 publication (and 2006 republication), Battle History 666 (Calgary: Abel Book Company, 2006), and in the 2002 publication entitled Canada's Flying Gunners, by Col. Dave Fromow.
Radio and early televisionEdit
After the war, Doohan started work in radio, but quickly branched out into TV, movies, and plays. By the 1950s, he had moved to America and had begun appearing as a guest star in minor television shows and movies. By the 1960s, he had credited guest star roles on such historic shows as The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Have Gun Will Travel, The Virginian, and Gunsmoke. His roles in these series also had Doohan coming into contact with several future Star Trek actors, including Skip Homeier and Keith Andes who appeared with Doohan in an episode of The Outer Limits.
Star TrekEdit
Doohan's special ability to do multiple accents originated from his time as voice actor on Canadian radio and this specialty landed him in the role of Scotty in 1966. Director James Goldstone and producer Gene Roddenberry asked him to read some lines from the script of TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before", proposing for the role of the not named Chief Engineer, doing different accents. Doohan did several ones, including a German and Italian, from which he finally choose Scottish, citing Scotsmens great engineering skills. (The World of Star Trek) At around this same time, Doohan did a Scottish accent in the pilot of the Western Iron Horse which was directed by Goldstone, who co-created that series with Stephen Kandel, the writer and producer of that show's pilot. Steve Ihnat also appeared in that episode. The only other time Doohan did a Scottish accent prior to the debut of Star Trek was in a 1963 episode of the sitcom Hazel entitled "Hazel's Highland Fling".
A skilled voice actor, Doohan contributed many voices to both the original series and the animated series, including (among others) Lt. Arex. Doohan also created the first words of the Klingon language, Klingonese, which was later expanded by Marc Okrand. He also helped to shape some words and sounds for the Vulcan language.
After Star TrekEdit
After the end of the Star Trek TV series in 1969, Doohan spent the 1970s performing various roles in television and film, in an attempt to continue his acting career. During this time, Doohan appeared in the 1971 films Pretty Maids All in a Row and Man in the Wilderness as well as guest starring on the TV series Marcus Welby, M.D., Tarzan and the Super 7, and Return to Peyton Place.
Between 1973 and 1974, Doohan returned to the role of Scotty in Star Trek: The Animated Series. He would later be cast as "Commander Canarvin" in the 1978 science fiction series Jason of Star Command. This series used several musical scores from the Animated Series and co-starred Sid Haig as the main protagonist.
Star Trek films Edit
Doohan was propelled back into the role of Scotty in 1979, with the release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. In the 1980s, he appeared as guest star on the hit shows Magnum, P.I., MacGyver, and Fantasy Island, but by 1982, with the release of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Doohan was effectively typecast as Scotty and spent the rest of his career appearing in the remaining major Star Trek films along with a few minor roles in various television shows.
In 1991, Doohan appeared in a cameo role on the remake film Knight Rider 2000. The next year, he reprised his role of Scotty for the episode "Relics".
Later lifeEdit
Doohan's last on-screen role as Scotty was in 1994 when he appeared in Star Trek Generations. By the 2000s, Doohan's age had limited his activities but he kept busy speaking at colleges and Star Trek conventions. In July 2004, Doohan announced that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in addition to his existing Parkinson's disease and diabetes, and would be withdrawing from public life. His final public appearance took place on 31 August 2004, at the ceremony for his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Doohan's last credited film role was as a judge in a 2005 direct-to-TV sci-fi/horror film entitled Skinwalker: Curse of the Shaman.
Doohan lost his battle with Alzheimer's disease, complicated by pneumonia, at 5:30 a.m. on 20 July 2005 - a fitting date, as July 20 was the anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, arguably the greatest engineering achievement in human history. He was 85 years old. He died at his Redmond, Washington, home with his third wife Wende by his side. He asked his family to have him cremated and his remains shot into space. After nearly two years of delays, this wish was finally granted: his ashes were launched into space on 28 April 2007 from New Mexico. [X]wbm More of his ashes were launched into space on board the first SpaceX Dragon capsule launched towards the International Space Station on 22 May 2012. [1]
He left behind a total of seven children from his three marriages; his most recent, Sarah, was born in 2000 when he was 80 years old.
Doohan was among those to receive tribute in the 2006 Memoriam reel at the 79th Annual Academy Awards. The reel used a scene from Star Trek: The Motion Picture in which Kirk tells Scotty, "Thank you, Mr. Scott," to which Scott replies, "Aye, sir."
Several costumes and costume components worn by Doohan in Star Trek were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay, including a stunt version of his undershirt. [2]

The unexpected results of writing this column continue to surprise me. People sometimes approach me at the Callicoon Farmers' Market to praise or reproach me for words I have written. Sometimes the phone will suddenly ring. Once, it was a lady who said she had been a long time friend of John McDonald, the author of the book "Quill Gordon." She wanted to thank me about something I had written regarding McDonald. I just never know what reaction a given column will produce. Some readers, such as Frank Salt of Damascus or Bob Moase of Sweet Valley, enjoy playing Clem's Quiz in order to win two of my "poorly tied" flies. Since the baseball season is nearly here, the next quiz will run in early April.
It is not always easy to get these scribblings to the paper in a timely manner, especially when I am in Texas with a new bionic knee and an extended period of rehabilitation. Lately, my fishing has been reduced to little more than recalling memories. The February column was particularly difficult. The deadline was fast approaching and I was bereft of ideas. I was sitting in my fly tying room with no words flowing off the tip of my pencil. I was deep in thought, seeking an idea to get the words flowing. There I was, staring at some flies sitting on one of the many bookshelves in that room. On one shelf there sits a full dressed salmon fly tied by Keith Fulsher. Alongside that fly sit several flies mounted in glass jars, tied by some of the luminaries of the Dallas Fly Fishers. There are also two stoneflies tied by Agnes Van Put using Lee Wulff's method. There is also a small plastic box that contains a Letort Hopper and a Henryville Special. I recalled the evening that these two flies had come into the possession of my diminutive, long-time fishing partner Barbara Ann. I suddenly smiled, for there was the answer to my problem. I had only to go back to my fly fishing journal of 1970 to find enough material to produce a small fishing story describing the events of a time long ago.
Shortly after that column ran in The River Reporter, the phone rang. The caller was a very polite gentleman who said he had obtained my phone number from the paper. He was a regular reader who enjoyed reading my columns. He was particularly pleased with the February column that mentioned the 1970 Theodore Gordon Flyfishers outing at Henryville where Ernie Schwiebert had given a fly tying demonstration. On behalf of the current Henryville Flyfishers, he wished to extend an invitation to Barb and me to spend an afternoon fishing the Paradise Branch of the Brodhead. For a brief moment I wondered if one of my sly fishing pals was pulling my leg. However, Paul Canevari's sincerity washed away that thought as quickly as the mighty Delaware River moves gravel when in flood. I hope Barbara and I do not disappoint Canevari. What little fly fishing skills we ever learned have been severely eroded by time. Also, Barbara Ann, that "little osprey," does not dive into the stream as boldly as she once did.
Ah well, you surely know how that poem about the arrow goes—It landed, I know not where.
The Arrow and the Song
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

Beware: Today's juniors will be tomorrow's seniors
The system of hiring young people and working them hard has venerable origins in the City of London. For decades, one route into trading was to be a messenger boy allowed on to the floor of the London Stock Exchange who had to sprint, carrying paperwork between jobbers and the back office, teenage boys known as "blue buttons" because of the badge they wore.
Fast-forward to today and some things have changed and some have stayed the same. The big revolution is in the salary – "blue buttons" were paid £4 10s a week in 1948, according to one oral history in the Institute of Historical Research, as opposed to today's £50,000 base salary plus bonus for junior bankers.
Still, the principle is the same: hire 'em keen, work 'em hard, and give the best a promotion. The question is whether the junior banker system still has any utility when so much else in finance is changing.
On one level, there's no doubt that the work needs doing. Banks are under pressure to cut costs and many have discovered – especially in equity research – that it's possible to have fewer expensive, experienced heads around if the number-crunching can be done by juniors. A few banks have experimented with doing this work in offshore locations but the juniors are still in their hundreds occupying prime real estate in the City, Canary Wharf, and Frankfurt's Bankenviertel.
If the work needs doing, the next question is whether the current system is fair to those doing it. That involves looking closely into the implicit deal on both sides.
From the bank, the promise to the junior banker is training, and lots of it. It's not just training in how to Excel together a discounted cashflow calculation quickly or analyse the cost of capital. It's training in how to think and act like an investment banker. Banks like any other businesses have a culture and those who have ambition to reach the top need to learn it.
The banks also promise financial rewards which, for someone near the start of their career, look pretty generous, although a closer inspection shows it's not quite as generous as it looks. If other bright 20-somethings wanted to work in the evenings and weekends like a junior banker, they could take a bar job in the evening and work in Tesco at weekends and boost their income to similar levels. Still, the pay cheque and prospective future riches are clearly a draw.
In return, the junior is offering hours of brainpower – and lots of them. And loyalty, which is an important part of the deal.
It's not quite right to say that banks can work their juniors as hard as they like – the juniors have a lot invested in their position and can't walk away without emotional and financial damage, so there are limits of decency banks cannot reasonably overstep – but it is, in essence, a contract both sides have volunteered to enter.
One reason why juniors work hard is they believe that banks will promote them on merit. Banks need to make sure they keep this part of the deal with their juniors – and it's very much in their long-term interests to do so. Today's junior bankers are the senior bankers of a few decades' time. In their early 20s, they are learning how to behave and how to succeed for their first time at work, lessons they are unlikely to forget.
If a bank consistently promotes juniors who are good at internal politics and brown-nosing senior managers, rather than those with genuine talent for banking, it should not be surprising if, a few decades later, it has a corrupt internal culture and has to pay big salaries to hire real talent from outside.
Equally, if it permits a culture where rivalry between juniors turns from healthy competition to destructive aggression, the industry cannot be surprised if in a few decades' time the board can't come together to make key decisions.
And if promotions of juniors are skewed against women, it can't be surprised if the top ranks of the company remain an all-male preserve for a long time to come.
This is why banks are wise to keep an eye on how they treat their juniors. The "hire 'em young, work 'em hard" culture still has a place in modern finance, within limits, but it must be done with an eye to the future.

I have been nursing/pumping since my son was a newborn. Because of complications, he needed to be in the ICU for a few days so I was not able to nurse him right away. He was born on October 16, 2005 making him almost 6 months. They gave him formula and ever since then, he has been on a half formula/half breastmilk mixture. I was not a fan of breastfeeding in the beginning but now find I do enjoy it. I currently only nurse him in the early morning and night and pump the rest of the time. I do work fulltime (thankfully, they have a lactation room) and pump 3 times a day at work. So, I'll nurse him around 4:30-5am, try to pump at 6:30, pump approx. at 10, 1, and 4 at work, nurse/pump when I get home, and pump before I go to bed. He is content and growing fine on the mixture mentioned above.
Two evenings ago, I nursed him at 7:15pm. I then fell asleep and didn't wake up until 4:15am. (He sleeps from 7:30-4:30 or 5) I had meant to pump at 11pm so I went 9 hours without doing anything. I was engorged, relieved about ¾ of it, and then nursed him at 5:15am and then pumped at 6:30am. I then followed my regular pumping schedule again. Since then, it seems as if my supply went down a little bit. My left breast has always produced more than the right but now I'm afraid the right one could dry up.
I guess my question is – because of that 9 hour stretch, could that have affected things permanently? I have been pumping/nursing regularly, drinking water, taking fenugreek, etc. I average about an ounce an hour so if I pump every 3 hours, I'm happy with 3 ounces. Before, I would get 3-5 but I've been having to squeeze every drop out to get 3. Also, can milk naturally dry up on its own even with regular pumping/nursing?
I would like to continue nursing/pumping for the first year.
At work, I use the original Pump In Style and at home, I have the Medela Lactina.

A Hubble Space Telescope view of a very young star (between 300,000 and a million years of age) surrounded by material left over from the star's formation. The cool, reddish star is about one fifth the mass of our Sun. The dark disk, seen in silhouette against the background of the Orion Nebula, is possibly a protoplanetary disk from which planets will form. The disk contains at least seven times the material as our Earth. The disk is 56 billion miles across (90 billion kilometers), or 7.5 times the diameter of our Solar System.
The Orion Nebula starbirth region is 1,500 light-years away, in the direction of the constellation Orion the Hunter.
The image was taken on 29 December 1993 with the HST's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, WFPC2, in PC mode.

I was really thrown off, so to speak, by this comment & I asked myself - "Self why was this necessary for her to state?!" I won't elaborate on what I thought about in my head
I did, however enjoy this thread & I think the discussion surrounding it was very open & extrememly helpful I am sure I will be referring to it at some point - maybe when E is around the age of two
"Children reinvent your world for you." Susan Sarandon
But I am mostly interested in a discussion of ideas around "don't offer, don't refuse" and it was feeling like the thread was heading more towards "advice for lsksam".
Since I was mostly looking for discussion, perhaps this thread would have been better in "around the refreshment table", and will consider that for future discussion posts.

My understanding also is that DODF is a MOTHER led method not child. So I think that needs to be taken into account when considering what you were contemplating in the beginning. In it really has nothing to do with a child being trusted to tell you what he needs as much as it it a 1st gentle step in YOU the mother changing the direction of the relationship based on what you need. And where you are trying to get your nursing relationship to go.
Way too lazy for formula
I never suggested that riding out a tantrum implied giving in. It just means that you are alwasy there for them during the tantrum. I haven't read the article in quite some time, but I dont' remember it suggesting a parent should give in when a tantrum is because he/she was told, "No," for something desired.

Because it's different. Just like if said child was having a fit bcause he can't have another cookie as opposed to having a fit because he's overtired and doesn't want to go to bed... Those two examples have to be dealt with differently...
If your child is asking because they're thirsty/hungry something similar, to deny then that would be bad news.. but if it's because of boredom or the like, mom has to be in charge of redirecting that. Tantrums are their way of expressing something - its our job to teach them how to express those needs/desires in a more effective and positive way.

The way I handle it when I've opted to not nurse at that exact moment is via distraction. "No, we can't nurse right now in public (since you pull my shirt off) but here's a waterbottle if you are thirsty, and I'll give you a hug."
So far, I've never had a meltdown (i.e., tears; only saw that when I was bitten and put the kid down for a minute) because they were denied nursing, but if they were really persistent about asking, I've reassessed. Sometimes, nursing is about reconnecting versus food, and I'll do that. In the above example, that meant finding somewhere I could nurse despite being stripped.
IMHO, DODR has a very good place in nursing. I bet most of us practice it at some point, no matter what kind of weaning we are experiencing. I've always taken it sort of like "I'm available if you need me." But I've had two boys, so far, that both were not huge comfort nursers for the most part. If I had one who was one who would happily nurse instead of play, for example, I might have to be more active about directing the relationship. DODR to me, is just part of the dance of nursing -- setting boundaries for nursing to me is the same as discipline; we allow our kids to do stuff, but within limits, KWIM. Make sense? I feel like I'm rambling today. . ..
Actually, Erin has a point. Probably 99% of animals wean abruptly, either by removal of the young from the "family" or by direct action of the mother. I have a mare who is a really good mom, actually, and she let her last foal nurse until she was like 9-10 months old, which is really long for a horse (equivalent of nursing a 10-12 year old child!), but I could see I had to help her out by taking the foal out of her field because she never once stopped that great big filly from nursing. . . she was never going to force that foal to stop, but I could tell she was really tired of it. But most of the time, the animal mamas of the world simply start walking away. And the offspring adjust and do well.
Mama to my all-natural boys: Ian, 9-4-04, 11.5 lbs; Colton, 11-7-06, 9 lbs, in the water; Logan, 12-8-08, 9 lbs; Gavin, 1-18-11, 9 lbs; and an angel 1-15-06

Sealed for time and eternity, 7-7-93
Always babywearing, cosleeping and cloth diapering. Living with oppositional defiant disorder and ADHD. Ask me about cloth diapering and sewing your own diapers!
I must be way in the dark here, and I admit, I have never read anything about DODR, but I took the term quite literally and always viewed it as more child led weaning than mother led, although I assumed it was used for older toddlers. It may just be us, but once Ben was older, we were on a schedule that just came about on it's own, morning, nap and bed. I just stopped offering the morning session and he just went about his business, but then I offered at nap and night. There was only once that he wanted to nurse in the morning, and I did, which is my understanding of DODR. Then he just started refusing nursing at random for nap and bed, until he just stopped. This is what I thought don't offer, don't refuse was all about. If the child wants to nurse, you nurse, but you just don't set aside a specific/scheduled time anymore and whip out the boob if the child doesn't seem interested. Maybe I misunderstood
