Bulk mixers of prescribed drugs get more scrutinyBy MATTHEW PERRONE
The Associated Press | November 19,2013WASHINGTON Congress took a half step Monday toward increasing federal oversight of so-called compounding pharmacies that custom mix medications in bulk, a year after a meningitis outbreak from contaminated steroid pain injections killed 64 people and sickened hundreds more.
The Senate approved the bill by voice vote, sending it to the White House, where President Barack Obama is expected to sign it into law.
The legislation also creates a national system for tracking prescription drugs from manufacturers to retail pharmacies, first through serial numbers on bottles and later through electronic codes. The House passed it in September.
More than 750 people were sickened by last years outbreak of deadly fungal meningitis and many continue to suffer debilitating pain and nerve damage. The sickness was eventually traced to a now-closed pharmacy in Framingham, Mass., the New England Compounding Center, where inspectors found mold, standing water and other unsterile conditions. The company shipped more than 17,600 doses of the implicated steroid injection to 23 states.
Jurisdiction over such large-volume compounders has been murky. Pharmacies that fill individual prescriptions from a doctor or other health professional are typically regulated by state boards, but the Food and Drug Administration regulates manufacturers of medicines. The compromise bill gives the FDA authority to inspect and close down large-volume compounders, but it doesnt require the pharmacies to register with the FDA, as manufacturers of prescription drugs must do.
The bill attempts to sort out the legal gray area that allowed the Massachusetts pharmacy and similar businesses to skirt both state and federal regulations. The measure clarifies the FDAs authority over high-volume compounding pharmacies that mass-produce medications, rather than fill doctors prescriptions.
Under the bill, pharmacies can voluntarily register with the FDA and submit to federal quality standards and inspections. FDA officials previously said requiring compounding pharmacies to register with the agency was crucial to preventing future outbreaks.
The bills supporters acknowledge that a voluntary approach will succeed only if doctors and hospitals choose to do business with FDA-registered pharmacies.
Nobody will be required to register in this new category, said Allan Coukell, drug safety expert with the Pew Charitable Trusts, which lobbied to pass the bill. The success of the voluntary category will depend on hospitals, clinics and doctors choosing to buy from these FDA-registered facilities.
Safety advocates say the bill leaves the door open for more rogue pharmacies like the one that caused last years outbreak.
This voluntary approach will continue to expose patients to potentially unsafe, mass-produced compounded drugs that are not approved or evaluated by the FDA, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., said after the House passed the bill.
FDA officials told Congress last year that regulating businesses like the NECC has been a struggle because of a patchwork of conflicting court decisions over the federal agencys authority to deal with pharmacies.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

"Uh, sure. I've got the printouts here..." Rebecca leaned over to open up one of her bag (a big computer case, though it had no computer in it at present) and dug out a sheaf of print-outs. "I gave one copy to Othello, you can have this one if you promise not to let it out of your sight and not to show it to anyone else."
"Mostly I read through virtually every unsolved crime that Scotland Yard's had since they founded it, and looked for patterns -- don't ask me how I got those files, Othello got them." Rebecca said. "So... I don't have proof positive about any one of them, but the total patterns are pretty suggestive."
"Some demonic sigils showed up at some of the crime scenes starting in the 1930s." Rebecca said, flipping through her notes. "That's actually the most reliable method of tracing that I found, though I can't swear that there aren't two or more demon-worshippers with the same sigils being used. Anyway, those sorts of symbols don't just show up at murder scenes by accident. So he's either a cultist or a demonologist, and a lot of the crime scenes look like textbook ritual sacrifices. Proof enough?"
"Heterochromia. It might be natural, there's medical conditions that cause it. Or it might be the result of some summoning gone awry, I'm not sure. It's common in people who deal with demons but it's not proof positive one way or another -- some demonologists never pick it up, plenty of normal people have it."

"...Damn..." Chavez said after a moment. She had been subconsciously expecting something like this, but even if the supernatural was involved one held out hope that they were cultists or something that could be arrested, tried, and locked away in jail for a very long time. Vampires though... "Do you know who it is? And is there anything that can be done about him?"
"If you can come up with some kind of credentials, I can get you in. Psychiatric consultants, maybe?" Chavez said. She knew that Erin had some remarkably thorough links in that profession.

Buckwheat Bread
2 c buckwheat groats (soaked and dehydrated)
1 c golden flax seed (or chia seed)
1 c psyllium husks
1 t Celtic Sea salt
2 c water
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c Irish moss gel
1 T honey
Grind all dry ingredients into flour. Blend all wet ingredients. In a large food processor, process wet ingredients into dry ingredients until dough. Use buckwheat flour to dust counter and rolling pin, and roll out dough to 1/3″ thinckness. Cut and dehydrate between 105-110 F for 6 hours.
I am such a huge fan of buckwheat! It has a strong flavor, so not everyone is as enthusiastic about it, but the little plant is so full of nutrition that I haven't found something quite as satisfying. After sprouting, dehydrating, and making flour, buckwheat can be used to make anything where you would use regular flour. These biscuits are perfect for any bread substitute.
For this post I topped the biscuits with a slice of avocado and a pinch of Celtic Sea salt or a simple sun-dried tomato spread of sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, and Celtic Sea salt. Enjoy!

The Gulf Coast restaurant industry continues to struggle in the wake of the April 23rd Gulf of Mexico oil spill. To date, most restaurant owners have not received any emergency funding from British Petroleum (BP) for claims ranging from lost profits to cleanup costs. As a result, many in the industry are wondering whether BP will follow through with their promises to make good on the damage from the disaster or if legal action will be necessary to collect for their losses. Of concern is ...

Technical Competency Credit
Technical Competency Credit leads from high school to technical training, college degrees, and high-demand careers.
Technical Competency Credit is intended to give high school students an early start on a college Technical program. High school juniors or seniors may enroll in approved Technical Competency Credit courses taught by instructors at their high schools, which allows them the opportunity to earn North Idaho College Technical credit and move from high school to NIC without having to repeat technical courses.
Technical Competency Credit enable students to:
- earn college credits at no or low cost while they are still in high school
- take advantage of a national and state effort which emphasizes collaboration between high schools and Idaho technical colleges where instructors at both institutions have worked together to design a system in which students can move from high school to college without having to repeat courses
- get prepared for careers in high skill, high wage, or high demand occupations in current or emerging professions.

The Fram Museum presents its brand new permanent exhibition!
The permanent exhibition in the Fram Museum has been given a completely new look. The famous expeditions with the Fram which were led by Fridtjof Nansen, Roald Amundsen and Otto Sverdrup are now presented in a new way, with photographs, film and light effects. The historical artefacts have been given more exciting settings and two 15 m² large models of the Fram and her crew in the Arctic ice, and of Captain Scott's motor sledge on the Antarctic Barrier, are great attractions for both young and old.
The model of Captain Scott's motor sledge on the Antarctic Barrier
The twin of Amundsen's South Pole tent is now exhibited – also this one made by Amundsen's sail maker and sewing genius Martin Rønne – and is the only possibility that exists to see the as-close-as-possible authentic tent which now lies in the ice at the South Pole.
Model of the twin of Amundsen's South Pole tent
Framheim, Amundsen's base in the Antarctic, has been recreated on film so that visitors can peep into the workrooms that the men dug out under the ice and see their preparations for the South Pole sledge trip. In addition you can see part of Lindstrøm's famous kitchen in the Framheim hut.
Model of Lindstrøm's Kitchen in Framheim
The techniques of navigation into unknown regions without modern aids are explained with the display of the historic instruments. In the same way the scientific work that was carried out on the expeditions is described beside the actual instruments that were used and the biographies of the scientists themselves.
More space is devoted to the other expedition members, to the less well-known Norwegian polar explorers including Eivind Astrup, C.A. Larsen and Carsten Borchgrevink, and to the men who made the expeditions possible, such as Axel Heiberg, the Ringnes brothers and Don Pedro Christophersen.
The Explorers' Club where you can study uniqe images from the polar expeditions
Thanks to the generosity of the families of the polar explorers, the Fram Museum is proud to present artefacts that have never been permanently exhibited before. These include an example of the first fossils found in Antarctica by C.A. Larsen, Carsten Borchgrevink's and Eivind Astrup's rifles, and the toy monkey that was the mascot on Roald Amundsen's N24 aircraft in 1925. The six men in two planes were stranded on the Arctic ice at 87°43' N and had to leave behind them absolutely everything that was unnecessary weight as they set off all in the one plane to reach back to Svalbard. Despite this, Leif Dietrichson felt he had to bring the monkey back, hidden in his jacket. It is now on display for the first time.
New exciting displays throughout the museum
Not least, visitors can try something completely different! They can enter our Dark Walk where, in a temperature of -10° C, they can experience a ship-borne expedition that went wrong, with the awful consequences that it had.
And at the end, when you need to know even more, the Fram Museum still has the largest collection of polar books on sale.
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"

Ok -here's the thing- 1st of all read the recipe carefully- not ALL the water goes into the processor-after 1whizz it certainly doesn't stay there! Then take into account that even when you've removed the required amount of fluid-it STILL spews everywhere-or did from my kenwood chef! Then add into the time factor cleaning sticky sugary water from the inside and outside of all cupboards, and floor, and everything within a 1m radius plus showering (as I was in bikini at time).
So was it worth it? .....Absoultely! If this were sold in pubs I'd be tea-total! Well....maybe not... But it's good enough for me even to consider it!
Next time I put lemons and 150ml sugary water in processor (the result of which would be lovely with ice cream!) then added rest of fluid through the sieve to ensure I still cartured the full lemon flavour.
'Still Sticky of Derby'
Absolutely handsome! I'll use about a quarter less sugar next time though, but really easy and lovely. In fact, stop reading this review - go and make it, you'd be half way there by now. But since you're still reading I'll tell you this; I had 4 lemons which I had grated for their zest to use in a cheesecake (also to be found on this site), I used these for the lemonade. So, it's official, this lemonade is still great, even without the zest.
Very very easy to make and is an instant hit every time it is served. It also stores well in the fridge for a week. I whizzed all ingredients and sieved it but did not add the remaining half ltr of water. Took the bottle to a picnic, added the rest of the water and a nice refreshing drink was ready!

Caveat Impactor
Caveat Impactor An asteroid with almost no chance of hitting Earth
made big headlines this week.
Listen to this story via streaming audio, a downloadable file, or get help.
July 26, 2002: I slid a dollar bill across the counter, and the cashier handed back a lottery ticket. The odds for winning: 1-in-250,000. A long shot, but you never know.
Walking out of the store, ticket in hand, I glance at a newspaper. "Tony Phillips wins the lottery!" the headline declared. Gosh, I thought, that seems premature ... not to mention weird.
Right: Lottery tickets and dollar bills. A royalty-free image from Corbis.com.
Indeed, it's fiction. For one thing, I never buy lottery tickets. But mainly, no one would write such a headline based on such slender odds.
On July 9, 2002, MIT astronomers discovered 2002 NT7, a 2 km-wide space rock in a curious orbit. Unlike most asteroids, which circle the Sun in the plane of the planets, 2002 NT7 follows a path that is tilted 42 degrees. It spends most of its time far above or below the rest of the solar system. Every 2.29 years, however, the asteroid plunges through the inner solar system not far from Earth's orbit.
After a week of follow-up observations, researchers did some calculations. There was a chance, they concluded, that 2002 NT7 might hit our planet on February 1, 2019. The odds of impact: 1-in-250,000.
"Space Rock 'on Collision Course'," a headline declared days later. "Asteroid Could Wipe Out a Continent in 2019," another one warned. Really.
"In fact," says Don Yeomans, the manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program at JPL, "the threat is minimal. One-in-250,000 is a very small number."
The odds are not only low, but also uncertain. Yeomans explains: "We've been tracking 2002 NT7 for a very short time--only 17 days so far," Meanwhile, the asteroid takes 2.29 years to orbit the Sun. Predictions based on such a small fraction of an orbit are seldom trustworthy.
Below: Many reports this week of an impending collision with 2-km wide 2002 NT7 were illustrated by this painting of a 500-km asteroid striking Earth. Scary.
It's becoming a familiar routine: Astronomers discover a near-Earth asteroid. With only meager data at hand, they can't rule out a collision in the distant future. Headlines trumpet the danger. Finally, the alarm subsides when more data lead to a better orbit--one that rules out an impact.
"As far as the public is concerned," says Jon Giorgini of JPL's Solar System Dynamics Group, "it just isn't worth getting worked up about an object with a couple weeks of data showing a possible Earth encounter many years from now. Additional measurements will shrink the uncertainty by a large amount--and Earth will (almost certainly) fall out of the risk zone."
Already this is happening for 2002 NT7. The calculated probability of a collision with Earth is shrinking as astronomers add new data each day. "I suspect it will take only a few more weeks (or maybe months) to completely rule out an impact in 2019," says Yeomans.
Giorgini explains further: "When we calculate an asteroid's position (based on measurements made at a telescope), the result isn't a single point in space. Instead, it's a volume of space where the asteroid could be with some probability. We deal with probabilities, not absolute answers, because the measurements contain errors." For example, optical data can be corrupted by twinkling and refraction in Earth's atmosphere. (Radar is better, notes Giorgini, but no radar data have yet been obtained for 2002 NT7.)
"When you project this initial probability region years into the future, it naturally expands. For a newly discovered object with only a few days tracking, the uncertainty region can easily grow to cover a big part of the inner solar system. Because Earth is in the inner solar system, and can potentially cut through this volume of smeared out probability, we end up with finite impact probabilities."
"A finite probability, however, is not really a prediction of impact," he cautions, "but a statement that one is possible." Of course, many things are possible. Like the newspaper headline "Tony Phillips wins the Lottery!" But most of them do not happen.
JPL lists asteroids like 2002 NT7 on their Internet "risk page" not to raise an alarm, says Yeomans, but to alert astronomers when new discoveries merit attention. "It's important that we continue tracking these asteroids to refine their orbits," he says. The more observers, the better.
Above: Astronomer John Rogers captured this image of 2002 NT7, faint and far away, on July 23, 2002, using a 0.3-meter telescope at the Camarillo Observatory.
What's an ordinary person to do?
The next time you see a headline "Killer asteroid threatens Earth!" ask yourself two questions: Have we known about this space rock for more than a week or so? (If not, check again in a month. It probably won't be considered a killer then.) And what are the odds of impact?
If you're more likely to win the lottery, there's probably nothing to worry about.
Editor's note: Big asteroids have hit Earth before and it's only a matter of time before one threatens us again. Will it be years, decades, millions of years? No one knows. The point of this article is not that we are safe from asteroid strikes. We are not safe. Rather, we hope to give readers some of the information they might need to evaluate popular reports of impending collisions.more information

Nisar Ahmad / AP
Afghans carry the body of a policeman killed in a border clash with Pakistani troops on Thursday.
An Afghan border police officer was killed and two Pakistani soldiers were injured during a prolonged firefight on the troubled border between the two countries, officials said.
Pakistan's Foreign Office said in a statement that it had summoned an Afghan embassy official to protest what it called an "unprovoked firing incident" at a disputed border gate late Wednesday.
"Two Frontier Constabulary soldiers got injured as a result of the heavy fire directly targeting the post," the statement said. "Pakistan security forces exercised maximum restraint and communicated first to the Afghan side about this serious violation through military channels."
"This is not the first time that the heavy fire was initiated from the Afghan side causing heavy injury and damage to the Pakistani structures," it added.
Afghan Ministry of Interior spokesman Sidiq Sidiqqi said the fighting continued into early Thursday.
"One [Afghan] border policeman was killed. Pakistani and Afghan local officials are holding talks to ease the situation," he said.
The latest tensions are focused on Pakistan's building of the military gate at Gursal that Afghan officials say is inside Afghanistan, Reuters reported. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has ordered his top officials to take immediate action to remove the gate and other "Pakistani military installations near the Durand Line."
The Durand Line is the 1893 British-mandated border between the two countries. It is recognized by Pakistan but not by Afghanistan. Afghanistan maintains that activity by either side along the Durand Line must be approved by both countries.
Afghans living near the border with Pakistan praised what they saw as Kabul's decision to stand up to Islamabad.
"Our security forces have done a great job standing up to Pakistan. We are proud because Pakistan keeps on pushing us and will try and occupy us some day. I'm angry about the situation but glad we have acted," Mohammed Sabil, a taxi driver, said.
Gula Jan, who works at a gas station near the border, said: "We thought Afghanistan could not do anything against Pakistan -- that we were turning into slaves of Pakistan, but now we know that isn't true, and I back the Afghan government's actions."
Afghanistan has grown increasingly frustrated with Pakistan over efforts to pursue an Afghan peace process involving the Taliban, suggesting that Islamabad is intent on keep Afghanistan unstable, Reuters reported.
Afghan officials say Pakistan has a long history of supporting Afghanistan's Taliban and other insurgent factions, the news service noted. Pakistan has in turn accused Afghanistan of giving safe haven to militants on the Afghan side of the border.
Reuters contributed to this report.

NHTSA — Suspension Problems
2005 Ford Escape (Page 17 of 19)
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005 Escape has problems where the engine shuts down while driving. Ford finally issued a September 2014 recall. Time will tell if the recall fix really solves the problem.
However the 2005 Escape also has a defect where the PCM (Power Control Module) fries at around 100k miles. Ford extended the PCM warranty to 80,000 miles, but only after most owners were past the mileage limit. Now owners are on the hook for the average repair cost of over $2,000 (!!)

By Karl Terry: Freedom New Mexico
Joe Chandler says he was just 50 feet from his shop when lightning struck Thursday evening sparking a fire.
The Portales custom furniture business was destroyed by the blaze early Friday morning.
Portales Fire Department units were dispatched to Pioneer Woodworkers on State Highway 88 — the Arch Highway — around 11 p.m. Thursday.
Portales Fire Department Battalion Chief Gary Nuckols said lightning ignited the blaze.
"We don't know if it was a direct hit," he said, "or if it hit the electrical system, but it was definitely lightning."
Chandler said he was in bed listening and watching the storm through his open bedroom window about 11 p.m. Thursday when the storm turned violent.
"There was a direct hit on the shop roof then half a second later it struck again in the same place," Chandler recalled. "The second time it showered the bedroom window with hot, molten metal from the building."
Chandler said he went to check the building and told his wife to call 911.
"By the time I got out there it was fully involved in the north end," Chandler said.
He and son Chad Chandler were able to pull a pickup and trailer loaded with furniture ready for delivery from the building with a tractor. By that time stuff from the second floor, where Chandler says the fire started, was already starting to fall.
Nuckols said firefighters battled the blaze into the morning hours Friday. "We had numerous units and over 20 personnel on scene," he said.
The metal structure, located about half a mile east of the Portales Cemetery, contained woodworking machinery, tools, wood supplies and furniture. In addition, Chandler said his son and his wife had furniture and appliances stored in the building while they are building their home along with the family's ATVs.
"The building and its contents were completely destroyed," Nuckols said. "It was a total loss."
Chandler says his business is broke after the fire. Fire insurance had become too expensive for the business to afford and the only items that may be covered are the household items and vehicles. He estimates the loss to be approximately $500,000.
"I lost all my equipment. I have no equipment left at all," Chandler said.
He is uncertain at this point about the fate of the business. He says he has lots of furniture orders he needs to get done but no place to work on them.

Quinnipiac Women Tie Program Record for Wins
from press release
HAMDEN, Conn. - Tiffany Manzi's (Agawam, Mass.) four points helped lead the Quinnipiac University women's lacrosse team to an 11-6 victory against Brown at the Quinnipiac Field Hockey & Lacrosse Turf Field. The Bobcats improve to 10-2 overall, tying the program single-season wins record. The loss evens the Bears' season mark at 6-6. The five-goal win marked the sixth consecutive Quinnipiac victory, one shy of the program record of seven, set last season.
"I'm really proud of my team today," said Head Coach Danie Caro. "We struggled early on and started off a little slow, but they pulled it together and were able to get to a really big win over a very talented Brown team. This sets us up well headed into our final weekend of conference play. If we can keep this going, we will have a good chance of going far in the postseason."
Manzi led the Bobcats with four points on three goals and one assist, while the Northeast Conference Player of the Week senior midfielder Ashley Valentine (Friendship, Md.) finished the game with three goals. Katie Latonick (Severna Park, Md.) had a game-high three assists and freshman Marissa Caroleo (North Babylon, N.Y.) added two in the win. Junior Lyndsey Banach (Syracuse, N.Y.) tied her season high of two goals and senior goalkeeper Hannah Nelson (Glastonbury, Conn.) turned aside 12 Brown shots in the game, while collecting a team-high five ground balls.
Valentine started the scoring with a free-position goal four minutes into the game. Brown rebounded with goals from Katelyn Caro and Kelly Robinson to take the 2-1 advantage just under nine minutes into the game. Valentine evened the score, 2-2, as Latonick found the midfielder at the top of the crease for her second goal. Lauren Vitkus' tally with 6:33 remaining in the first half gave the Bears their final lead of the game, 3-2.
The Bobcats ended the half on a three-goal run to take the lead, 5-3. Manzi netted her first goal on a free-position shot with 4:53 on the clock. Less than a minute later, sophomore Christine Sinnigen (Sudbury, Mass.) found Nicole Fiore (Monroe, Conn.) open for the goal inside the eight-meter arc. Latonick passed from behind the net to Banach stationed at the far post for the open look and her 10th goal of the season to close out the first half.
Sinnigen and Fiore opened the scoring in the second half with two goals just over a minute apart. Brown responded with two goals of their own, pulling to within two, 7-5. That would be as close as the Bears would get as Quinnipiac scored four of the next five goals to end the game. Manzi picked up two tallies in the run, while Banach and Valentine each added a goal. Caroleo recorded both her assists on Valentine and Manzi's third goals as the Bobcats won, 11-6.
Valentine also added four draw controls, three ground balls and two caused turnovers in the game, while sophomore defender Kaitlyn Kelly (North Massapequa, N.Y.) came off the bench to contribute two ground balls and two caused turnovers. Meghan Latonick (Severna Park, Md.) recorded two ground balls, two draw controls and a caused turnover in helping the Bobcats' defense allow its second lowest goals-against total this season as Brown scored just six times.
Quinnipiac returns to action on Friday, April 17, as they host Wagner on Senior Day. The Bobcats and Seahawks are set to square off at 4 p.m., with Senior Day ceremonies beginning at 3:30 p.m.

There are a lot of HTTP caches out there. How long are they holding your pages? How long should they hold your pages? RFC 2616 (HTTP/1.1) specifies that caches must obey Expires and Cache-Control headers--but do your pages have them? How do you add them? What happens to your pages if you don't?
"The goal of caching in HTTP/1.1 is to eliminate the need to send requests in many cases, and to eliminate the need to send full responses in many other cases." RFC 2616
"HTTP caching works best when caches can entirely avoid making requests to the origin server. The primary mechanism for avoiding requests is for an origin server to provide an explicit expiration time in the future, indicating that a response MAY be used to satisfy subsequent requests. In other words, a cache can return a fresh response without first contacting the server." RFC 2616
The RFC was written with the expectation that Web pages would include expiration headers. If the expiration times in the headers are chosen carefully, caches can serve stored pages without losing any meaning.
When origin servers don't provide expiration headers, caches use heuristics based on headers like "Last-Modified" to guess at a suitable expiration. Heuristic methods are inefficient compared to expiry dates set by humans who know a page's content and frequency of changes.
"Since heuristic expiration times might compromise semantic transparency, they ought to be used cautiously, and we encourage origin servers to provide explicit expiration times as much as possible." RFC 2616
The HTTP/1.1 specification (section 13) has strict requirements for caches: It requires them to provide semantic transparency--returning a cached response should provide the same data as would be retrieved from the origin server; and it calls for them to read freshness requirements provided by origin servers and clients.
Caches must pass on warnings provided by upstream caches or the origin server, and they must add warnings if providing a stale response. A cache may provide a stale response in limited circumstances, mostly if the cache cannot connect to the origin server and the client has stated that it will accept a stale response.
If a cache receives a request for a stale page, it sends a validation request to ask the origin server if the page has changed. The most common validation tool is the last modification time. If there are two changes stored within one second, Last-Modified will be incorrect. Because of this, HTTP/1.1 offers strict validation using the Entity Tag header.
The simplest way to assist caching is to keep accurate time on your HTTP server and always send the Date and Last-Modified headers with your responses.
To be a really cache-friendly webmaster, though, include the cache headers in your pages.
The Expires header is the quick and easy solution. This header states the time at which the page is considered no longer cacheable, after which any cache storing a copy of the page should contact the origin server rather than send the stored copy. The syntax is:
Expires: <date in RFC 1123 format>
For example:
Expires: Sun, 10 Feb 2002 16:00:00 GMT
To mark a response as "already expired" or "not cacheable", the header should be set to the time the response is sent. To mark a response as "never expires", the header should be set to one year in the future.
The other header is Cache-Control. Cache-Control includes elements to designate the maximum age of a page element, whether it can be cached, whether it can be transformed into a different storage type, and whether it can be stored on nonvolatile media.
This article uses Apache as an example for setting up headers and discusses the Cache-Control header in more detail during the example.
To use the Expires header, you will need to be running Apache 1.2 or later and have
mod_expires enabled. Uncomment the
expires_module line in the "Dynamic Shared Object Support" section of the httpd.conf file, then recompile Apache.
# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
# LoadModule cern_meta_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_cern_meta.so
LoadModule expires_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_expires.so
(If you are running Apache 1.3 or later and it is configured to load modules at runtime, you can edit httpd.conf and then restart Apache instead of recompiling.)
mod_expires calculates the Expires header based on three directives. The directives apply to document realms and are usable in any of the following realms: "server config", "virtual host", "directory", or ".htaccess".
The Expires directives have two syntaxes. One is fairly unreadable; it expects you to calculate how many seconds until expiry. Fortunately, the module will also read a much more human syntax. This article describes the readable syntax.
The directives are:
ExpiresActive on|off
ExpiresDefault "<base> [plus] {<num> <type>}*"
ExpiresByType type/encoding "<base> [plus] {<num> <type>}*"
base is one of:
num is an integer value that applies to the type.
type is one of:
If you're using the Expires directives for a server, virtual host, or directory, edit the httpd.conf file and add the directives inside those realms.
<Directory /whichever/directory/here>
# Everything else you want to add to this section
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType text/html "modification plus 2 days"
# ExpiresDefault "now plus 0 seconds"
ExpiresDefault "now plus 1 month"
If you're using the Expires header in the .htaccess file, you will need to edit httpd.conf to set the AllowOverride header for the relevant directory. Apache will only read .htaccess in directories which have the "Indexes" override set.
# Allow the Indexes override for the directories using .htaccess.
<Directory /whichever/directory/here>
# Everything else you want to add to this section
AllowOverride Indexes
Add the Expires directives to the .htaccess file in the relevant directory. The webmaster can edit the .htaccess file without needing access to httpd.conf.
The main problem with the ".htaccess" method is that the Indexes override and the .htaccess file give the webmaster more configuration options than just the Expires header. This may not be what the system administrator intends.
mod_cern_meta allows file-level control, and it also allows the use of Cache-Control headers (or any other header). The headers are put in a subdirectory of the origin directory, with a name based on the origin file's name.
Related Reading
Uncomment the
cern_meta_module line and recompile, as for
expires_module in the last section.
In the httpd.conf file, set
MetaFiles on,
MetaDirectory to the subdirectory name, and
MetaSuffix to a suffix for the header files.
MetaFiles on
MetaDirectory .web
MetaSuffix .meta
Using these values, the file
/var/www/www.example.org/index.html would have a meta file at
Any valid HTTP headers can be put in these files. This provides another way to apply the Expires header, and it's a way to add the Cache-Control headers. The relevant Cache-Control headers are:
Cache-Control : max-age = [delta-seconds]
Cache-Control : public
Cache-Control : private
Cache-Control : private = [field-name]
Cache-Control : no-cache
Cache-Control : no-cache = [field-name]
Cache-Control : no-store
Cache-Control : no-transform
Cache-Control : must-revalidate
Cache-Control : proxy-revalidate
HTTP/1.0 has minimal cache control and only understands the Pragma: no-cache header. Caches using HTTP/1.0 will ignore the Expires and Cache-Control headers.
None of the Cache-Control directives ensure privacy or security of data. The directives "private" and "no-store" assist in privacy and security, but they are not intended to substitute for authentication and encryption.
This article is not a substitute for the RFC. If your are implementing the Cache-Control headers, do read the RFC for a detailed description of what each header means and what the limits are.
Caching is a reality of the Internet and enables efficient usage of bandwidth. Your clients probably view your pages through a cache, and sometimes multiple caches. Applying cache headers to your pages protects the page content and allows your clients to save their bandwidth.

Fishing Report: Campsite #57 Bryson's Place
Well just made it back from a wonderful weekend deep into the backcountry of deep creek. We made an early start friday morning and started our 6.1 mile hike back to the campsite. The hike wasn't nearly as bad as last week on the hyatt ridge trail and we made it to the campsite by about 10:30. We quickly set up camp and made it on the water by about noon. I started off with an abrams creek searcher nymph with a tellico dropped behind it, while Justin started off with a royal wulff. Justin took the first hole and quickly landed the first fish of the trip, a small brown. After fishing this hole and moving to the next small run, we spotted a large 16-18" brown about 10' upstream. Somehow it didn't see us so justin made a cast and the fish come up to take his dry. Unfortunately, fate wasn't on our side and the hookset was a little off, but boy was it amazing to watch a fish that size come up and take a dry. We continued upstream a short ways with justin quickly amassing a lead on me as i couldn't seem to catch a fish while he was reeling them in. Just a short ways upstream, we again stumbled across a nice fish, only this time the fish was 20"+ easy. We were dangerously close to this fish but once again somehow he didn't see us. This fish was hanging out in the shallows on the side of a run in about 2' of water and was actively feeding. I made a few casts but nothing would come of it. Justin made a couple casts but i think i may have spooked him with my last cast. By this time, we were both amazed by the quality of fish we had already seen. As we moved upstream, i began catching some fish and justin continued his assault on them. We were pulling out mostly browns, but some rainbows were mixed in. We were pulling out quality fish, too, as the average was about 10" with plenty of 12" thrown in there. Justin had the fish of the day when he pulled in a solid 14-15" brown that succumbed to the royal wulff. We continued fishing until about 4:30 before calling it quits. We easily pulled in at least 50 fish between the two of us and were greatly anticipating the next day of fishing.
After a noticeably colder night than the night before, we woke up saturday morning and made it on the stream by about 9. We decided to start out at campsite 58 and fish up to our campsite since we fished upstream from 57 the day before. It was still rather cold at this point and the fishing reflected that. We couldn't seem to get them to take anything until about 11 when, once again, justin managed a few on the royal wulff. While wading through some very skinny, slow water, i did manage to spook another 20"+ fish, although this time it was a rainbow, what a hog! I tied on a yellow caddis and dropped the abrams creek searcher nymph behind it and began catching a few by about noon time. By 1, we had managed about 10 fish between the two of us as we approached a very slow, deep pool. The pool appeared to be about 8' deep and had basically no current to it at all. We carefully eyed the pool when we both spotted a massive fish.......then another........then another! It was unreal! There were three fish in this pool over 20" and one of those looked to be as long as our arm! This isn't even counting the other two "large" fish that we saw in there that looked to be 16-18". We were in awe at this point and just stood there amazed and commenting on the fish. We figured we had nothing to lose so we both tied on our respective streamers and gave it a shot. We didn't figure we didn't have much of a chance in such slow water and we were right, but we had to try. We continued upstream still not having much luck when once again we spotted two monster fish. While wading through pocket water about 12" deep, i took a step and right next to my foot a torpedo shot out of the water and went flying upstream. As soon as i realized what it was, another fish came from the same spot just a inches away from my foot and shot downstream towards justin. I looked back towards justin to watch him jump as the massive fish swam between his legs and scared the crap out of him! Both were 20"+ easy, but the first fish that swam upstream was another one that looked to be about as long as our arm. I tell you i wouldn't believe it if i didn't see it myself. Back to actual fishing, i switched my dropper fly to a small pheasant tail and started picking some fish up as we moved upstream. Justin managed a few but they really seemed to key in on the pheasant tail. We again stopped fishing about 4 30 and although the fishing wasn't nearly as good as the day before, we managed about 25-30 between the two of us.
After a very restless night (there's not much to do after dark with the campfire ban) we woke up bright and early this morning. We had decided the day before to pack up first thing and hike out back to the trailhead and fish near there that way we would be fishing when it was a little warmer. We made it in very good time on the way back, clocking in 6.1 miles in just a tick over 2 hours. We fished close to the trailhead for about an hour and a half until something came up and we had to go. During this time, we managed about 8 fish, all on dries, and managed to spot one nice fish about 16".
All in all, i was definitely impressed with our trip to deep creek. The fishing was good, especially on friday, even though the water was low. Seeing those big fish definitely was icing on the cake. Even though we didn't catch any of these large browns, it was such an amazing sight to see them and get to watch them and their tendencies, i definitely feel that i learned alot just from watching them. I still can't believe that we saw that many large fish, it was unbelievable. I believe at last count we saw 9 fish over 20" (with two of those being "as long as your arm") and 5 fish that looked to be in the 17-20" range. To me, that is truely amazing and i am still in awe of it. We will definitely be planning a return trip to this watershed in the upcoming year.
Well, hope the story wasn't too long and i didn't bore you. Here are some pics, enjoy!

Awesome report Craig! I may stop at the lower section of Deep Creek on my way to GA for Thanksgiving... Last time I was there the SMBSH was on fire!
Great report, great fish, and great colors!
What an awesome job of painting a beautiful late Fall picture, of how fishing can be in the back country of the Great Smoky Mountains! Thanks to you and Justin for sharing these pictures of your beautiful adventure. You have painted it in verbal detail for everyone to share in your experience. What better place to fish and what better place to share, than Little River Outfitters bulletin board. Top notch work!

Great report again. One thing I would like to know is how you remember these trips with such detail? I cant remember what i did this morning, lol. Deep Creek is a wonderful place for sure.
Awesome report and pics. Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while. I haven't fished since approx. August. Between my wife being pregnant and doing a house renovation, I haven't had lots of time to fish. However, I definitely need to try to get out with you again. Don't know that I can do a weekend trip these days, but I'd love to meet up with you for a Saturday sometime. Those browns were some good looking fish. Now I see what people have meant when they have told me in the past that Deep Creek is an awesome Brown fishery. Hope things are going well for you.
That was an excellent report. You express yourself very well. You and Justin must have had a great time. I talked about you guys on the Fishing Report today and for some reason I had a senior moment and called Justin, Josh. Sorry. I am becoming a senior though so I have an excuse. I changed it in the report just a few minutes ago. Thanks guys for sharing your trip and those awesome pictures.
Excellent report on an area that is very intriguing...if (and that's a big if at the moment) I manage a trip up there between now and spring, I might have to fish that area; Straight Fork will be unavailable (road closed for season), which has become my "go-to" stream in the Smokies. I would really like to fish the upper end too, when it's warmer.
Yeah i saw the report and although i appreciate the kind words, i may have to argue with you about the excellent fisherman part. I would like to thank hugh for all the advice that he has given me over the past year, it has really helped out alot, thanks hugh!
Also, thanks to everyone at lro. I placed an order last week for a few items that i knew i would need and talked to paula to see if she could make sure it would get here on time, which was a day shorter than when my items normally arrive. Sure enough, y'all pulled through and i got my items in time and it helped make my trip a success.
I also appreciate all the kind words on my report. I love writing these things up and getting to see what everyone else thinks. Hope everyone else had a chance to enjoy this beautiful fall weather this past weekend.
Craig Lancaster
Deep Creek
Great report Craig,
I looks like Deep Creek is in pretty good shape, waterwise. I am wondering too if those are resident fish or Fontana fish. I suspect Fontana. I have heard about impressive fish in Hazel this fall as well, must be a good year class of browns this year........ or maybe just some big local fish. Those numbers make me think of Lake fish. Some of you locals chime in.
Thanks for the post,

Freedom New Mexico photo: Karl Terry Zias freshman Patricia Malouff drives the lane during Saturday's Lone Star Conference women's crossover game against Southeastern Oklahoma at Greyhound Arena.
By Dave Wagner: CNJ staff writer
A switch from man-to-man to a 2-3 zone worked wonders Saturday for the Eastern New Mexico University women's basketball team.
Southeastern Oklahoma struggled to find any outside shooting, and the Savage Storm went the final 8 1/2 minutes of the half without a point as ENMU notched a 67-55 Lone Star Conference crossover victory at Greyhound Arena.
Point guard Tori Northcutt led the freshman-laden Zias with 14 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Freshman Cat Clay added 10 points as 10 players scored for ENMU (3-8).
"We've improved in so many areas," Northcutt said. "Everybody is stepping into their roles."
The Savage Storm (7-6) missed its final 11 shots of the first half as ENMU turned an 18-12 deficit into a 29-18 lead. Southeastern then misfired on six attempts to start the second half before Jasmine Hughey's inside basket pulled the Savage Storm to 34-21.
ENMU coach Linden Weese said part of the strategy of the zone was to keep the Savage Storm off the free throw line.
"We thought they liked to get themselves to the line," he said. "We were going to make them have to shoot it."
In the end, Southeastern finished at 25 percent from the field (20-of-80) and made only 3-of-29 from 3-point range.
"We tried to put it on their shooters," Northcutt said. "I think we kind of disrupted their offense a little bit.
"We're about to start the (LSC) South, and hopefully we can gain some confidence in this win."
The Savage Storm did mount a late run, but never got closer than five points. Sophomore Megan Kabrick's 3-pointer out of the left corner made it 54-44 with 5:46 left and gave the Zias some breathing room.
"I was real proud of them," Weese said of his team. "I thought we executed longer and better tonight than we have. And we were able to make some free throws late (to help wrap up the win)."
Freshman forward Cat Clay added 10 points for the Zias, while freshman Til-Lois Fifer contributed nine points and a team-high 11 rebounds off the bench.
Hughey led the Savage Storm with 12 points off the bench, while sophomore forward Destiny Brown added 11.
Southeastern got off to a good start, opening an 11-5 lead by the first media timeout. Kacey Russell's 3-pointer made it 16-12 midway through the half, and freshman Jasmine Hughey added a breakaway layup for a six-point lead with 8 1/2 minutes left.
But that was it for the half.
Bible scored three baskets from close range to put the Zias in front, and Northcutt's 3-pointer made it 25-18.
Cat Clay added a basket in a scramble with just under a minute left and Blythe McPherson chipped in two free throws finish a 17-0 run and close out the half.

My milk is fine in the fridge for a few days, but once frozen can get the sour smell due to high lipase. Being that the Playtex cooler might freeze the milk a bit since it gets so cold, should I worry about the milk breaking down? Is the Medela cooler/ice pack good enough?
Thank you in advance for your support.

A nice turnout of members of the Bee County medical community, Chamber of Commerce and business people was observed at Thursday afternoon's ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours of the new emergency room facilities at Christus Spohn Hospital Beeville.
Thankfully, not having been inside the ER in several years, it still was quite obvious that the hospital and county had partnered to make many needed changes.
Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Nathan Tudor said, "There were a lot of people involved in the process. We looked to see what we could do to enhance our patient flow, and we worked with our associates and physicians and came up with a good plan, and we've started to see the results come through."
Among the renovations are several new rooms, including a private triage room, a fast track room to assist patients with minor injuries and a new medication room.
The Beeville Ladies Night Out organizers helped sponsor a patient room designed for children, including colorful painted figures on the walls.
The project, at a cost of about a million dollars, also consists of a new nurse desk, a patient-friendly registration area and lobby updates.
Perhaps the most eagerly anticipated improvement involves patient wait times. Tudor said that by increasing capacity and improving other processes, the hospital has cut down on wait times considerably.
He indicated that they can pretty much guarantee that a patient can be seen and greeted by a clinician now in under 10 minutes, perhaps even six.
"We want people to know that they will be taken care of quickly and that we're going to be compassionate and meet their needs. So, it's a huge benefit."
Community members already are appreciating the change of culture there regarding the treatment of patients, for which Chief Nursing Officer Danny St. Armand praised Tudor.
"The word is spreading, in reference to Nathan's leadership, and the culture within this hospital has completely changed, compared to what it used to be," St. Armand said.
We have always said that one major reason our city has grown and prospered in comparison to others is from having a hospital. It makes us even prouder to have a modern facility that we can count on in emergencies.

A growing number of restaurant brands are racing to plant their flags in other countries, and, for some, that raises the question of whether and how to advertise on TV in diverse international markets. For companies operating overseas, the decision to develop television advertising is generally handled at the local level by the franchisee operator in the region, or by the corporate field office if international units are company-owned. McDonald's units in Russia, for example, are ...

PC Gaming Week Razer brings PC gaming to the couch with a lightweight, wireless lapboard.
mini review Bless their hearts, Logitech has made a MOBA mouse that's performs against hardcore scrutiny and works handily for casual use.
Logitech put out a mechanical keyboard that pushes the bar with excellent performance for hardcore gamers, and fun, durable comfort for the casual user.
mini review Fantastic for anyone who wants the performance and comfort of a gaming mouse without an industrial design.
Mini review At a mere 90g, the featherweight Mad Catz R.A.T. TE gaming mouse floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.
Mini Review The Corsair K70 RGB: the same crisp, responsive typing and gaming performance of the original, now with a custom color palette.
Suitable for advanced users but accessible to novices, the Spyder4 Elite is the complete display calibration tool.
Mini Review Hyperbole aside, the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury is actually an awesome, affordable mid-range gaming mouse.
Mini Review This is Roccat's camo-ridden revision to its cheap and comfy gaming mouse, the Kone Pure, and it feels just as nice.

- Abstract
- This paper is the product of the wave modelling community and it tries to make a picture of the present situation in this branch of science, exploring the previous and the most recent results and looking ahead towards the solution of the problems we presently face. Both theory and applications are considered. The many faces of the subject imply separate discussions. This is reflected into the single sections, seven of them, each dealing with a specific topic, the whole providing a broad and solid overview of the present state of the art. After an introduction framing the problem and the approach we followed, we deal in sequence with the following subjects: (Section) 2, generation by wind; 3, nonlinear interactions in deep water; 4, white-capping dissipation; 5, nonlinear interactions in shallow water; 6, dissipation at the sea bottom; 7, wave propagation; 8, numerics. The two final sections, 9 and 10, summarize the present situation from a general point of view and try to look at the future developments.

County races: JacksonWritten by Admin
Jackson County
Jackson Sheriff
About the race: This promises to be one of the most hotly contested elections in the region this year. Current Sheriff Jimmy Ashe will step down and that has thrown the floodgates wide open for contenders — nine in all.
Candidates were going public months before the official candidate sign-up period in February. And several had turned in their election finance paperwork far in advance so they could start their campaign wheels turning.
Ashe would have been a vulnerable candidate had he decided to run, due to lack of public visibility in recent years and a series of public relations stumbles and controversies.
•Steven Lillard, assistant police chief at Western Carolina University
•Chip Hall, chief deputy in the sheriff's department
•Glen Biller, a Haywood sheriff's deputy
•Robin Gunnells, who has a custom truck cover business and has worked in a variety of law enforcement positions
•Doug Farmer, a Sylva police officer
•Michael Gosnell, private security guard in Highlands, with a variety of law enforcement positions over his career
• Curtis Lambert, a Sylva police office
• Jimmy Hodgins, a retired logger
• Mary Alice Rock, a bail bondsman
Jackson Commissioner
What's up for election? Three of the five seats on the board.
About the race: There was a major power shift in county politics four years, after an upset election ushered in a slate of conservative-leaning candidates. Three sitting commissioners, all Democrats, were ousted by three challengers.
It's hard to say whether the election four years ago was an indictment of the progressive policies of the commisioners at the time, or whether it was trickle-down effect from a national Republican tide that election year.
This year, Democrats are trying to take back the seats they loss, and voters will have a chance to endorse or oust the new leadership that took over four years ago.
Do I vote in all the districts, or just mine? Every voter in Jackson County gets to vote for every commissioner seat, no matter where you live in the county. While the county is parceled up into four territories for the commissioners race, the geographic districts only apply to the candidates. Candidates must live in the district of the seat they are running for, but are elected by voters countywide.
Commissioner chairman
•Jack Debnam, the current commissioner chairman and a Realtor. As an unaffiliated candidate that belongs to neither party, Debnam must gather 1,200 signatures of registered voters to get on the ballot. He has until June.
•Brian McMahan, a Democrat, previously served as commissioner chairman but lost to Debnam in 2010. The 39-year-old chief of security at Balsam Mountain Preserve is now seeking a rematch.
Jackson commissioner: district that spans from Dillsboro to Qualla
•Charles Elders, a Republican and sitting commissioner, is the owner/operator of Elder's Superette.
•Joe Ward, a Democrat and farmer, is retired from CSX Transportation.
Jackson commissioner: district that includes Sylva and Scotts Creek
•Doug Cody, a Republican and sitting commissioner, has worked in the insurance industry for 29 years. "I feel that we've done a good job and there's still more to be done, and I want to be part of that."
•Boyce Deitz, a Democrat, is a retired teacher and football coach. He coached former U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler as a high school quarterback, and later went to work for the congressman.
"I have a passion about where I live, our culture and the mountains. People back in the coves and hollers don't have a voice and I feel that they need one."

Balanoposthitis is the inflammation of the glans penis and the foreskin in uncircumsized males. The word was coined from two roots and an affix: Gk βαλανος (balanos; cf. L glans, glandis, Russian жёлудь (zhjolud') 'acorn; glans penis' fr. PIE *gwel- 'oak'), Gk ποσθη (posthe) 'membrum virile; prepuce', -itis ISV 'inflammation of'. May be caused by phimosis, or an abnormal tightness of the foreskin preventing retraction over the glans. Phimosis is from Gk φιμωσις (phimosis) 'muzzling, silencing; stopping up of an orifice; contraction of the prepuce' fr φιμος (phimos) 'muzzle'._________________________

Perhaps the snugness of the restraint is causing the malady? Try something which breathes better than imitation leather.

I've only heard it simplified to "balanitis," meaning glans and prepuce both, even from urologists. Unless of course they're just simplifying it for benefit of hoi polloi.
How about it? Any urologists lurking out there? What say you?

I meant to mention that a couple of historical characters are associated with phimosis: Louis XVI and Charles Guiteau (Garfield's assassin). Louis married Marie Antoinette when he was 15 and she 14. The marriage remained unconsummated until 7 years later owing to a genital deformation, usually considered phimosis, which was however corrected with minor surgery, perhaps circumcision._________________________

Recruitment & Admissions Office - Brantford Campus
Laurier wins six awards at North American advertising competition
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Apr 20/12| For Immediate Release
Jacqui Tam,
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Wilfrid Laurier University has won six awards, including two golds, at the 27th Annual Educational Advertising Awards. Lauriers awards were for advertising and marketing materials created for the 100 years inspiring lives of leadership and purpose campaign, which marked the universitys centennial celebrations in 2011.
One of the universitys two gold awards, presented in the Newspaper Advertisement/Single category, was for an advertisement featuring Ayiko Solomon, a war survivor and Laurier graduate who founded a non-profit agency to promote peace and sustainable development in his native Uganda. The second gold, presented in the Newspaper Advertisement/Insert category, was for a nine-page newspaper insert featuring profiles of eight inspiring Laurier students and graduates.
Each of the pieces appeared in The Globe and Mail and other prominent publications, including the Waterloo Region Record and the Brantford Expositor.
The LAURIER100 campaign focused on telling the amazing Laurier story, said Jacqui Tam, assistant vice-president, Communications, Public Affairs and Marketing. Its exciting to see that our efforts to share those stories and celebrate such an important milestone in the universitys history are being recognized for excellence on an international stage.
Sponsored by the U.S.-based Higher Education Marketing Report, the Educational Advertising Awards program is the worlds oldest and largest educational advertising awards competition. Over 3,500 entries were submitted last year from across the U.S. and several other countries.
In addition to its two gold awards, Laurier won a silver in the Imprinted Materials category for its LAURIER100 canvas bags. It received a bronze in the Newspaper Advertisement/Series category for the series of 12 full-page newspaper advertisements that included the Ayiko Solomon piece. The judges also presented Laurier with merit awards for a newspaper advertisement featuring Laurier Chancellor Michael Lee-Chin and an advertisement in Grand Magazine featuring a portrait of Sir Wilfrid Laurier composed of maple leaves.
Judges for the Educational Advertising Awards include a national panel of higher education marketers, advertising creative directors, marketing and advertising professionals and the editorial board of Higher Education Marketing Report. Other institutions recognized with awards this year include the University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon University, Purdue University, John Hopkins University and the University of Michigan.

Hello. I have been breastfeeding since my 5 week old was born. Two days after she was born my milk came in fully in both breasts, however my right breast became engorged and when she would nurse only the areola area would soften up (as if no milk was coming out). Two days later, my right breast dropped down to my pre-pregnancy size.
I went for a breast ultrasound to see if there was a block in the nipple and the milk couldn't come out, because the milk came in but just went away. The tech said there was no blockage and it looks like a normal lactating breast (she seemed unsure of what to do when I came there). I have always put her on right side first for at least 10 minutes. I have recently started Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle (4 days now) and am pumping the right (electric double pump Medela) every day for about 20 min per pumping on max pump and only get out about 2-6 drops. There has not been the slightest change in the size of my right breast.
Baby is fine, gaining weight just fine. When she goes on right, she suckles for about 10 minutes before crying, then I switch her to left side. I need to start pumping to save up a supply but don't want to walk around with one boob a DD and the other a B. Any suggestions?
