My son had his 12 month old well baby check up on Tuesday. He was 32 1/2" long, his head circumference was in the 75th percentile, and he had hit all of the appropriate developmental milestones. Everything was fine until they weighed him, and he was only 23 lbs, which is still in the 50th percentile but is, I guess, skinny for his height. He had been in the 95th percentile for weight until he was 6 months old, and has been dropping since then.
My pediatrician asked me what he was eating, and I told him that I cooked him three meals a day, and offered him snacks on demand. I cook him scrambled eggs, pancakes, noodles, rice, toast, chicken. I offer him lots of cheese, yogurt, avocado, fruits, and veggies. I put butter on everything! He takes a few bites but is generally indifferent to food. He does best with buttered toast and foods that he can eat on the go.
I mentioned that I still nursed on demand, but always offered food first. My pediatrician was very disturbed by this, and wanted to know how often he nursed. I told him that my son usually nurses three or four times a day and once at night. He told me that I needed to cut that down to twice a day and none at night, and that it was my fault the baby did not like to eat food. He went on to say that breastmilk has no nutritional value after one year, and that I would need to wean him if I was unable to get him interested in food.
I don't know what to do! I thought my son was healthy. He is energetic. He has one well formed bowel movement a day, and seven wet cloth diapers. He takes two 45 minute naps a day and sleeps 10 hours at night. He doesn't seem tired or cranky. I have tried to cut out one of his nursing sessions, but he cries and tugs on my shirt.
Does anyone have any advice? I don't want to quit breastfeeding.

Thank You so much, i'll carry these photos with me to check upon delivery that everythings there. Today is going to be the day i get it. Hope nothing goes wrong! Once again thank you bro. Will post back once i have it. Take care.

Oh man i was writing a detailed description and suddenly lost everything when page froze after trying to insert an image (I hate when i lose large amounts of text when posting on forums, hate it!). In short.
Phone and everything seem as brand new. What i don't like:
-It seems to be dropping some calls. Don't have strong signal reception in my apartment, but still the previous Nokias i used managed to maintain the line open till the found new signal. This one seems to end conversations abruptly when signal drops.
-I was afraid of the next thing I'm going to describe. I don't feel confident walking with these phone at all times. For example last night i took a one hour walk at night and i had to switch to my cheaper phone so i wont fall victim of theft or attack .These are dangerous times we live in, with immigrants all over the place, and you don't want to carry expensive things on your person.
I also received a leather case. It is Porsche original but i don't know if this is the one you're supposed to get for this phone or if it is a universal Porsche case for smartphones. Anyway this is the one.
Is there any case that can interact with phone calls, or stil nothing yet? Cause it is a hassle pulling the phone out of this one, and still having to press buttons to answer.
I was writing everything in great detail, but now this is all i have the courage to sum up. Will come back with additional feedback of likes and donts.

NEW PORSCHE DESIGN ORIGINAL LEATHER HOLSTER CASE <br. FOR BLACKBERRY PORSCHE P9981 | KICKmobiles > Home
Looking for Luxury Phone
That porsche design case yeah it's made exclusively for the P9981. Im using a gucci case for mine so I don know I that porsche design case would be able to help with calls etc but you can give it a try by to Options> Call management > In-call settings and then set your auto end calls to "Into Holster" and your auto answer calls to "Out of Holster". Save that settings and put your phone back to the holster. When you get call try and pull the phone out of the holster and see if it'll automatically take the call. It's worth trying. Let me know if it works. If it does ill buy a case from porsche design too
- 01-11-13, 04:56 PM Thread Author #33
These options were already enabled, but it doesn't seem to do anything with this case
BTW it seems it is running to 22.214.171.1249 Should i update to latest version?
Also do you have any neat earphones to recommend? Are you using any?
And finally have you heard of the new Black Matte that supposedly came out this year? Any thought on the new look?
Re: Looking for Luxury Phone
I never really use an earphone to this phone the fact that I use a separate device for music and entertainment...but it does come with an eearphone anyway, isn't it any good?
Yeah I'm craving the black matte one I will be checking one out when I fly to Sydney at the end of the month and decide from there..our fellow member BaranE is having trouble with the black P9981 so I'm worried at the same time too...specs wise I love the whole design. do you like it?

The one thing that is really letting me down, is how BBos7 behaves when searching on home screen. I used to find it one of the best features of BBos5 when you could just type someones name and have it appear instantly like so.
Now on BBos7, the search from homescreen looks so weird. Even if you deselect every search feature except contacts it still doesnt feel as neat and helpful.
I really hope there's a way to make it appear as it was before, that i just havent found yet!

Re: Looking for Luxury Phone
I actually like the silver and black combination on the original P998 and the chrome bezel I dont like an all black phone but I wouldn't mind having a matte black along with the original P9981
The problem thay one member is having problem with is that just died randomly and didn turned on anymore
Only this holster
NEW PORSCHE DESIGN ORIGINAL LEATHER HOLSTER CASE <br. FOR BLACKBERRY PORSCHE P9981 | KICKmobiles > Home
has the magnet. Other holster looks like this one but doesn't have the magnet and doesn't have a flip-top. Instead has an open back. Just search the 9981 forum.
As far as the black 9981 problems, you can check my original topic. I still can't figure out how RIM hasn't managed to fix these kinds of hardware problems in the brand new black 9981. 9900 has been out nearly 2 years and the day they released it it had this self bricking behavior.
- 01-15-13, 06:36 AM Thread Author #40
Are these problems located on the Hardware or the software? Cause I'm on 7.0 and i want to upgrade to 7.1 and i'm afraid i may start having these problems. Should i do it?
P.S. Is 7.1 even a significant FW upgrade?

OK Will do. What's with the Urugay and such though, does it matter that it is released for those Countries? Will it contain all Languages?
- 02-13-13, 12:17 PM Thread Author #46
One thing i forgot to ask before. Is it possible to synchronize the porsche with all my data i had before from my bold9000? Not just contacts and other basic stuff, but call logs, messages, emails, and everything that was on my 9000 can i get them to the porsche?
- 02-15-13, 05:53 AM Thread Author #48
Is there a guide on how to do it? Cause i need to empty my old 9000 to format it and then sell it. But i need to transfer everything to the porsche before i do that.
- 02-15-13, 09:48 AM Thread Author #49
Just did a full backup from my bold 9000 with Desktop Manager. Is it safe to now plug the porsche and restore the data to it?
Yes it is safe. BB desktop manager will also ask you whether you want to transfer from an old phone or not when you first connect a device.

Vaccine Public Health Victory
By Health Day
America's current childhood vaccination program could be more than just a victory against disease researchers say it's also a huge economic success.
A new analysis- published in Pediatrics estimated the projected lifetime costs and savings that would be generated by vaccinating more than 4 million infants born in 2009. Big expenses included vaccine production, healthcare administration, and parental work loss. But the dollars out were dwarfed by the dollars in as vaccinating the 2009 group against classic preventable diseases such as tetanus, diphtheria, polio, measles, hepatitis A and the like was estimated to ultimately save $13.5 billion directly and another $69 billion in total societal costs.
How? By preventing roughly 42,000 early deaths, and 20 million cases of disease. In fact, the investigators concluded that, on average, for every dollar spent on childhood vaccines the U.S. stands to gain at least $10 in benefit.
Given that some parents are still reluctant to get their child vaccinated these findings may offer public health workers a decidedly practical argument for making the case in favor of childhood immunizations.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with news from today that can lead to healthy tomorrows.

Aggressive Driver (Hard Cornering)
I travel extensively for work, quite often pulling an enclosed trailer. The tires are generally very good until you get on hard packed snow or ice. The truck weighs just under 9000 lbs which should give extra traction but they do not grab hard packed snow/ice at all. On top of that, they seem to be wearing prematurely. My previous tires will outlast these by at least 25-30000 km.

This addin integrates Microsoft StyleCop into SharpDevelop. StyleCop only supports C#, and this addin has been tested against StyleCop 4.3, earlier versions won't work.
So how do you run StyleCop? Simply from the context menu of the current C# project:
This will result in an error (given that you haven't installed StyleCop yet):
Therefore please download the latest version of StyleCop and install it. Note that you must install the MSBuild integration:
Once installed, you have to tell SharpDevelop where to find it. This is done in the Tools / Options dialog:
Click on "Find StyleCop path" and go to the MSBuild directory:
Now SharpDevelop knows how to find StyleCop, all you have to do is re-run the StyleCop inspection of your project. In my sample project this results in quite a few warnings:
As you might not go d'accord with the default style checks, you can manipulate the StyleCop settings right from your current C# project:
Those rules are documented in StyleCop.
Because the question keeps coming up repeatedly in the forum, I want to repeat the most important pieces of advice from the last thread in this blog post. Firstly and most importantly:
If you use SharpDevelop 2.x, you must use TortoiseSVN 1.4.x.If you use SharpDevelop 3.x, you must use TortoiseSVN 1.5.x.
So why is this important? Well, Subversion 1.5 does change the working copy format, therefore older clients cannot read the working copy anymore. And why is this important to SharpDevelop? Daniel continues to explain:
SharpDevelop uses its own copy of the Subversion library for marking files as added/removed/etc. This can upgrade the working copy to the 1.5 format.
However, SharpDevelop does not have it's own commit dialog - we simply start TortoiseSVN.
So there are two Subversion libraries used by SharpDevelop: the one we ship for local operations, and the one shipped with TortoiseSVN for commit etc. Because the Subversion 1.4 library cannot read working copies touched by the 1.5 library, you run into this kind of problem when either TortoiseSVN or SharpDevelop is too old.
To sum up: SharpDevelop 2.x ships with libraries that are compatible with Subversion 1.4 and requires TortoiseSVN 1.4 for UI. Whereas version 3.0 of SharpDevelop ships with (different) libraries that are compatible with Subversion 1.5 and requires TortoiseSVN 1.5 for UI.
So will there be an upgrade for SharpDevelop 2.x to support Subversion 1.5? This was a hotly debated issue, however, in the end it boiled down to the following question: do we want to ship two almost identical versions of SharpDevelop 2.2 that only differ in the version of the included Subversion library (because we would have to support both camps)? As that would create quite a bit of confusion, we decided to leave 2.2 as is and support Subversion 1.5 only in SharpDevelop 3.0.
If you receive the following error message
but have TortoiseSVN installed, then you have run into the following snag: SharpDevelop 3.0 is explicity marked as 32 Bit application, thus it cannot use the x64 version of TortoiseSVN.
Solution: install TortoiseSVN 32 Bit. It can be used in parallel with the x64 version.
Running SharpDevelop on USB thumb drives has been possible for a long time. What is new in version 3.0 though is that the settings that usually go into the user's profile can live directly on the memory stick - allowing you to take your settings with you at all times. Here is the procedure:
Download SharpDevelop 3.0 and perform a standard installation on Windows. By default the installation location (on an x64 machine) will be the following:
Simply copy the 3.0 directory to your memory stick, and then open the \bin directory there:
There, you have to open SharpDevelop.exe.config - and search for the appSettings section which by default looks like this:

Save the file and you, SharpDevelop and your settings are ready to go. Note that once started the two directories show up in the directory tree:
Starting with version 22.214.171.12410, the C# code completion in SharpDevelop has support for implicitly typed lambda expressions.
Given a variable "IEnumerable<MyClass> items" and the "Select" extension method from LINQ, typing "items.Select(i => i." now shows the members of MyClass. And if the result of the Select call is assigned to an implicitly typed variable, SharpDevelop is now able to infer that the variable has the type IEnumerable<return type of the lambda expression>.
Unlike all other expressions in C#, the type of a lambda expression cannot be inferred just from by at the expression itself (and the variables used by the expression). To resolve lambda type parameters, we also need to look at the context where the lambda is used. Currently, not all contexts are supported by code-completion, you can find the list of known problems in our bugtracker (Component: DOM / Resolver). Should you find anything where code-completion does not work correctly which is not in that list, please file a bug report in our forum.
The most commonly used context for lambda expressions is method calls, and this is also the most difficult thing to support. It's easy when the method has a clear signature like "void M(Func<int, string> f)", since then SharpDevelop can infer the lambda parameter types directly from the delegate type. But most of the time, things aren't that easy. For example, the signature of the Select method is "IEnumerable<R> Select<T, R>(this IEnumerable<T> input, Func<T, R> f)". Here, SharpDevelop needs to first infer what T is, then it can know what the lambda parameter types are, and only after that it can resolve the lambda expression to infer what R is.
But when the method has multiple overloads, things can get even more messy:When a method has to overloads "void M(Func<string, int> f)" and "void M(Func<int, int> f)", it is valid to call them like this: "F(i=>i.Length)", "F(i=>i+i)". In the first call, i is a string; in the second, it is int. What SharpDevelop needs to do here is to infer the lambda parameter types for each overload separately, infer the lambda's return type; and then check that against the delegate's signature to see which overload was the correct one.
i=>i.Length is a resolve error if i would be int, but returns the expected int if i is string; so i must resolve to string.i=>i+i returns a string if i would be string, but returns the expected int if i is int; so i must resolve to int.
Note that because there's no way to tell the type of i before the lambda expression is completed, you cannot expect that SharpDevelop gives you correct code completion for it. "Length" will not be included in the code-completion list for i when you type ".", because at that point, the method call is "F(i=>i)", and i is thus an int. But after the expression is written, SharpDevelop will show a tooltip for "Length", and features like "Go to definiton" and "Find references" will work.
In addition to our presence on SourceForge (project page) we now also set up shop at CodePlex (project page). The motivation for this step is to increase awareness about SharpDevelop, and how parts of SharpDevelop can be reused in other applications / scenarios.
In SharpDevelop 1.1, the IClass interface had a property that was used in several places in the code:Once added to a project content, it was immutable. This was not enforced, not even documented. It just happened that no one changed IClass objects except for the code constructing them. After being added to a project content, a class could be removed or replaced by a new version, but if some code still held a reference to an old instance, it could safely access the members without worrying that an update to the class on another thread changed something.
IClass objects are accessed without locks all over the place on the main thread during code completion, and updates on the parser thread should not interfere with that.
However, because I didn't understand this, I broke it in SharpDevelop 2.0. My implementation of partial classes works as following: each file (compilation unit) contributes a part of the class as IClass object representing that part of the class.Once multiple files register a part of the class in the project content, the project content creates a compound class. This compound class combines the members of all the parts. When updating a part, only the IClass for that part was recreated, and the existing CompoundClass was updated.
The CompoundClass, which could be in use by multiple threads, changed values. To quote Wes Dyer: "Mutation often seems to just cause problems."
Now, that happened to work correctly for quite some time. Most code iterating through a class' members did this withforeach (IMethod method in c.Methods) {}where c is an IClass (possibly a CompoundClass). An update of the compound class happened to recreate the List<IMethod> behind the c.Methods property, so this code continued to work as expected.
However, in the quick class browser (the two combo boxes above the code window), there was code similar to this:list.AddRange(c.Methods);list.Sort();list.AddRange(c.Properties);list.Sort(c.Methods.Count, c.Properties.Count); // sort the properties without mixing them up with the methods
Suddenly, due to the addition of partial classes, this became a race condition waiting to happen. But it was found in time for the SharpDevelop 2.0 release, and I fixed the crash.But I didn't know much about immutability back then, so what I did was the worst fix possible:lock (c) { ... }And in CompoundClass, during update of the parts: lock (this) { ... }
Now, this is not only bad because it's fixing the symptom instead of the problem and it leaves the possibility for similar problems elsewhere in the code - though it might have been the only instance of the problem, since no other crashes due to this have been found while SharpDevelop was using the fix (all 2.x releases use it, including the current stable release, SharpDevelop 2.2.1).
But multi-threading (without immutability) is not hard, it's really, really hard. So it's not really surprising that some day, I found this code to deadlock.
So where's the deadlock?First I must tell you the other lock we're colliding with: every project content has a lock that it uses to ensure that GetClass() calls are not happening concurrently when the list of classes is updated. So the parser thread acquires the project content lock and then the CompoundClass lock to update the CompoundClass.
But why would the AddRange / Sort code deadlock with this? The comparer used for list.Sort() sorts the members alphabetically using their language-specific conversion to string. In the case of methods, this includes the parameter list, including the parameter types.
What you need to know here is that type references (IReturnType objects) are not immutable - they need to always reference the newest version of the class, as we cannot afford rebuilding all IReturnType objects from all classes in the solution whenever any class changes. Now remember that C# allows code like "using Alias = System.String; class Test { void Method(Alias parameter) {} }".
In this case, the quick class browser correctly resolves the alias and reports "Method(string parameter)". This means that our Sort() call actually sometimes needs to resolve types! And resolving types works using IProjectContent.SearchType, which locks on the project contents' class list lock. And that's our deadlock.
I think it's near impossible to find this kind of deadlock until it occurs and you can see the call stacks of the two blocked threads.Remember that the actual Method->string conversion and the type resolving is language-specific; it may or may not happen to take a lock for other language binding AddIns.
I fixed the deadlock on trunk (SharpDevelop 3.0) a few months ago by removing the lock on CompoundClass and instead doing this: list.AddRange(c.Methods);list.Sort();int count = list.Count;list.AddRange(c.Properties);list.Sort(count, list.Count - count);
It's still a hack, but this doesn't have any side effects (like taking a lock). And it works correctly under our (new) rule (undocumented rule, aka. assumption) that multiple c.get_Methods calls may return different collections, but the collection's contents don't change.
"foreach (IMethod method in c.Methods) { ... }" is safe, but "for (int i = 0; i < c.Methods.Count; i++) { IMethod method = c.Methods[i]; ... }" can crash.
But that's quite a difficult rule compared to "IClass never changes". So after reading Erip Lippert's series on immutability, I finally decided to make IClass immutable again.
It's "popsicle immutability", that means IClass instances are mutable, but when the Freeze() method is called, they become immutable. And this time, immutability is enforced, trying to change a property of a frozen IClass will cause an exception. Adding an IClass to a project content will cause it to freeze if it isn't already frozen, so it's guaranteed that IClass objects returned by GetClass or by some type reference are immutable.
A change that happened rather early in the development process of SharpDevelop 3.0 (revision 2658, 8/13/2007) was that we replaced NDoc (a stalled open source project) with Sandcastle Help File Builder (SHFB). SHFB looks and feels similar to NDoc, however, it builds on top of Sandcastle, a documentation generation tool by Microsoft.
Our build server (revision 2913 and higher) contains SHFB 18.104.22.168, which itself builds on top of the January 2008 release of Sandcastle (both are at the moment the latest releases of their respective projects). SharpDevelop 3.0 setup ships with SHFB, however, Sandcastle itself does not and must be installed separately! (this might change in the future once the final license of Sandcastle is known)
Because of the regular releases of Sandcastle and SHFB, the distribution of SharpDevelop 3.0 might ship with older versions of SHFB than currently available for download. Thanks to Eric Woodruff, the maintainer of SHFB, this is not a big deal - he is offering a download specific for SharpDevelop:
All you have to do is first delete the contents of the following installation directory (including subdirectories):
Then simply unzip the SHFB distribution archive into this folder and presto - you are now using the latest version of SHFB from inside SharpDevelop!
This question came up for example in the thread SharpDev 2.2.x on BuilderServer (this thread was started because we ceased to automatically build v2.2 on 1/11/2008).
The answer is Yes. Development of SharpDevelop 2.2 stopped with revision 2675 (8/28/2007), which is three revisions higher than the officially shipping version of SharpDevelop 2.2 (Download, 8/8/2007). The three non-shipping commits are:
All three were (of course) merged into Montferrer (SharpDevelop 3.0), this merge happened in revision 2679. However, those commits did not merit a release of a new setup because those were all changes to a sample shipping only in the source download.
Since releasing v2.2.1 all work stopped on the 2.x series of SharpDevelop. Our efforts went (and still go) into SharpDevelop 3.
In continuing to list changes to SharpDevelop 3, we are going to talk about the code coverage addin in SharpDevelop 3 "Montferrer" in this blog post.
Previously, the addin used NCover for calculating code coverage (this is a metric you gain by writing unit tests). However, recently NCover was turned into a commercial product. Because we only include / support tools that are free to use for anyone (commercial or open source / hobby development), we switched to a different tool - PartCover.
This change happened in rev 2744 on 19th of November last year. The addin has retained its original functionality, however, for end users there is an important change: you no longer need to download and install a separate package (as it was the case with NCover), PartCover is part of the SharpDevelop setup. You are good to go right after installation!

Learning to pour liquids is much easier if you give your child small pitchers with handles that are the right size for her small hands, and which are not too heavy for her to control when they are full. The entire process is also made much easier if as a first step you teach your children how to pour something dry, such as uncooked rice or lentils, from one small pitcher to another. For this first exercise, very small pitchers such as those used for cream are the best size. If you put a colored tray under the pitchers, any spilled rice or lentils will be contained and can be easily seen and cleaned up.
Show your child how to grasp the handle of the pitcher using whichever hand she is most comfortable with. Demonstrate how to support the pitcher just under the spout with her other hand. This gives her maximum control. The exercise is to pour the dry rice or lentils from one pitcher into the other. When done, she repeats the process with the other pitcher. Emphasize the importance of being careful. "Darling, see if you can pour the rice from one pitcher to the other without spilling a single grain of rice."
When your child has mastered this task, you can make it more challenging by giving her slightly larger pitchers, and then by having her try to pour the rice into a glass. You can make it more likely that your child will succeed by not putting more rice into the pitcher than the glass will hold.
Finally, when your child is ready, replace the dried rice with water. Challenge her to pour the water into the glass without spilling a drop. Remember, this process is not learnt in a day! It takes most young children many months of practice to gain the eye-hand control needed to pour correctly.

Drug Abuse
West Virginia Supreme Court Chief Justice Brent Benjamin's comments this week on drug abuse were distinctly bittersweet.
Speaking to attendees at the annual West Virginia Chamber's annual Meeting and Business Summit in White Sulphur Springs, Benjamin talked of successes in the state's drug court program. It has spread throughout the state as a result of the high court's recognition drug abuse has reached epidemic proportions.
About 500 people – including several in Wood County – already have graduated from the drug courts, which use a no-nonsense approach to helping them get their lives back on track. "Those are lives that are being saved right now," Benjamin said, adding that another 500 people currently are participating in the program.
That certainly is good news. But the bitter reality, as Benjamin is well aware, is that drug court success stories are just a drop in the bucket compared to the extent of the problem. As in other parts of the state, drug busts are all too common here. And many other types of crime have at their roots, drug addiction problems.
Both Supreme Court justices and judges in lower courts deserve high commendation for their efforts, of course. And so, as Benjamin noted, do Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and legislators for creating new programs to help drug-addicted convicts "get clean."
Much more needs to be done to get drug abuse, involving both illegal substances and legal but misused medicines, under control, however.
That is why comments by Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, also at the business summit, were so welcome.
Morrisey said his office has formed a five-person task force to attack the problem on a comprehensive basis, working with local law enforcement agencies throughout the state. The attorney general pledged West Virginians "are going to like what you see over the course of the next few months."
We hope so. While better efforts are being made to treat drug addicts, as Benjamin noted, it seems the campaign to attack the supply side of the problem – illegal drug manufacturers and street pushers – is fighting a losing battle.
A coordinated attack on drug suppliers – whether those operating out of backroom, or portable "meth labs" or those selling legal medicines they know are destined to be abused – needs to be mounted in West Virginia.
Kudos, then, to the Supreme Court and those in local drug courts throughout the state. But more needs to be done to keep West Virginia residents from getting the drugs that make them need help – and we hope Morrisey, working with law enforcement officials, is able to come up with a decisive new approach to that.

Given that we live in an evolutionary universe where stars are born from a cosmic dust and the gravitational affects on such dust particles form intense, massive, hot stars and where life can evolve from simplicity to complexity, or so it's postulated; could the laws of nature evolve as well? It's an important question. If we say the universe and life evolves does that mean everything can evolve or evolution is only possible with a given consistency of a non-evolutionary framework?
The following are a few questions raised in light of Rupert Sheldrake's The Science Delusion: Freeing The Spirit Of Enquiry.
1) If the laws of nature existed before the Big Bang, and governed the Big Bang from its first instant, where were they?
2) If the laws and constants of nature all came into being at the moment of the Big Bang, how does the universe remember them? Where are they 'imprinted'?
3) How do you know that the laws of nature are fixed and not evolutionary?

Hey! He's some kind of Refugio County seer – and I really like and appreciate his learned, sometimes lofty, letters to the Press.
I write, of course, of Arnold Macias. Macias is unknown to me, personally, but I know him as articulate, extremely, intelligent, and willing to back his heavy convictions with enlightening letters to your paper.
I only wish I had him as a regular contributor when I published The Woodsboro News. What sets Macias apart is his forthright convictions as one can glean from his vicious (albeit absolutely correct) castigation of the Bushes; his remembrance of the insidious ruling (that was wrong!) of the supreme court which gave the presidential victory to Bush over Al Gore; his repeated castigation of the useless and needless "wars" fought and being fought by our country; and, surprisingly cogent his use of the Bible to fortress his opinions.
Really, it's been so long for us to read the beliefs of a true "liberal" in Refugio County – that makes Mr. Macias all the more respected and admired. (Although, it will be tough to find many open-minded Countians to agree with me here!)
Of course, I thank the Press for publishing Macias' thoughts and beliefs.
And, topping off his brilliant mind is the public service attitude of Macias ("150 pounds of brisket") in community affairs of his Bayside. Thank you, Arnold, I only wish I had you when I was "there" as publisher. My "take" then was being alone in certain beliefs. You'd have corrected that.

J-Rolling Past The Giants
The Phillies have taken the first two games of this three game series with the Giants. Last night, Jimmy Rollins led the pack, coming just a double short of hitting for the cycle. His 3 RBI came on a 3-run homer in the 4th inning off Giants pitcher Matt Cain. The Phillies tagged Cain for 5 runs and then kept right on rolling through the Giants bullpen.
Other players with multiple hit nights were Carlos Ruiz, Jayson Werth and Chase Utley, who got his first hits since coming off the DL on Tuesday. One was a dribbler down the 3rd base line, but the other was a solid line drive into right field for a double. The Phillies hit a bunch of triples as well; Rollins, Ruiz and Raul Ibanez each collected one.
Phillies starter Joe Blanton had a good night as well. Blanton allowed only 2 runs in 6 1/3 innings without walking a batter. Both runs were solo homers; one was in the first at-bat of the game and then ex-Phil Pat Burrell hit one later. Since Burrell has hit a homer in each game of the series, I would expect another tonight just for good measure. He does love this ballpark.
Here are my Photos of the Day: Before the game, the Phanatic assaulted the Giants players while they warmed up. He goosed Burrell and made fun of Pablo Sandoval's figure:
The Giants were very gracious and had fun playing with the furry green mascot.
Here are a few more shots from the game:
Here is the full Photo Album from the game. Cole Hamels will pitch tonight in the final game of the series at 7:05pm. I should have photos from that one tomorrow as well. Let's hope for a SWEEP!

Hey, I rooted for the Phillies in the WS, least you could do is root for the Giants. No? Okay then. Well played…well played. Can I steel your pictures for my blog?
I do like the Giants since you got Rowand :O) But will only root when not playing the Phils ;0) You can use my photos as long as you don't mind giving me credit and put a link to my blog with them. Should have more tomorrow too :O) Good luck…except for tonight…lol
I like when the Giants lose …just because. That "Goosed" looked a lot more like a big green furry grab to me!

UMES Awards Doctorates to Largest Physical Therapy Class
Profession recognized during National Physical Therapy Month in October
Heather Bennett saw up close how a physical therapist can make a difference in someone's life when Bennett's mother tore one of her anterior cruciate ligaments, also known as an ACL. The therapist worked with her mother to ease her pain and restore mobility after she ruptured the tissue in her knee that connects the thighbone to the shinbone.
"That's how I found out what I wanted to do with life," said Bennett, 24, who enrolled in the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's Doctor of Physical Therapy Program three years ago.
Bennett and 22 other UMES students recently earned their physical therapy degrees during a graduation ceremony held in conjunction with Founders' Day convocation. The class of 2010 is the university's largest since the inaugural class of doctoral students graduated in 2005. Newly minted graduates are now eligible to sit for the professional licensure exam to earn the credential that most employers require when hiring physical therapists.
"I'm a little nervous about the test, but I think the program at UMES has definitely prepared me for it," said Bennett, an Ellicott City resident.
UMES graduates boast a 100-percent passing rate on the National Physical Therapy Exam, according to Dr. Raymond L. Blakely, chairman of the Department of Physical Therapy. He's confident the class of 2010 can keep that streak alive. Blakely believes his faculty's "student-centered" approach to teaching is the key to graduates' success on the test.
"They spend a lot of time working one-on-one with the students," Blakely said. "We also have a top-notch curriculum."
UMES' Doctor of Physical Therapy Program is a three-year course of study that combines clinical and classroom experiences. Classrooms, laboratories and faculty offices are located on campus in Hazel Hall, which features state-of-the art teaching and laboratory equipment.
Graduates are prepared to carry out the responsibilities of health care providers, practicing prevention, examination, and intervention in acute care, outpatient and other rehabilitation settings, Blakely said. The doctoral program also prepares students to contribute to the field of physical therapy through research and other scholarly activities.
Blakely noted that "UMES is one of two Doctor of Physical Therapy programs offered in the state." The other is the University of Maryland's downtown Baltimore campus.
Shannon Davis, a Salisbury University graduate, enrolled in UMES' physical therapy program because of its excellent reputation. The 25-year-old Hagerstown resident had a job lined up before she received her diploma Sept. 13. She accepted a position as a traveling physical therapist.
"I really like working one-on-one with patients and making a difference in their lives," Davis said.
Fellow graduate Dave Hartwig, 26, said he has already received multiple job offers. He enjoys the fact that he can be "choosy," especially in a sluggish economy when jobs are difficult to find.
"I had the chance to shadow a physical therapist for a day in high school and I was sold," said the Baltimore native. "I also saw the potential to make a really good salary."
Maryland is considered one of the top paying states in this occupation, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In May 2009, the median annual income of physical therapists was $76,220.
"Physical therapists are much needed across the country, as well as, in our community," Blakely said.
All but one of this year's physical therapy graduates list Maryland as their home state; three are from the Lower Eastern Shore.

I feel so horrible. My daughter is 3 weeks old now, and today she has wanted to eat every half hour. Then she just nursed for an hour and a half. She finally stopped and with in 10 min she was knawing and fussing again. I just can't handle this. I know they have spurts, but this is ridiculous.
My husband just gave her 2 ounces of the formula they give you at the hospital. She took it well and is now sleeping.
I am not giving her what she needs? Why is she doing this.
The Dr said she was gainig well. (Birth was 7# even and today she was 8# 11 oz) What am I not doing right?

dd is 11 months old and she seems to be completely uninterested in eating. she'll nurse JUST fine, but i know that at her age she needs to also be eating solids, only she will eat two bites and then spit it out, slam her mouth shut and just cry.
she does not sleep well at night and i wonder if its because shes hungry from not eating during the day! .. i dont know what to do. does anybody here gone through the same thing?

Parkinson's Genetic Research: Drs. Michael A. Schwarzschild; Anne B. Young
Researchers at MIND are exploring intriguing data from epidemiological studies to unlock the mysteries of Parkinson's disease (PD). One perplexing observation is that PD is both less common in women, but when it does occur, is often more aggressive. Several studies at MIND, under the direction of Dr. Anne Young, are exploring this discrepancy.
"We think that there are important clues about the origin and progression of PD," stated Dr. Young. The observation of molecular differences in the female PD brain was first made by Dr. David Standaert's laboratory at MIND and is now being followed up by Drs. Young and Ippolita Cantuti-Castelvetri. "Ultimately, we want to determine if PD therapies could be more effective with gender-specific tailoring," she added.
MIND researcher Dr. Cantuti-Castelvetri is delving deeply into this question by examining the brain differences between men and women with Parkinson's disease. Using laser capture microscopy and post-mortem brain tissue, Dr. Cantuti-Castelvetri can literally pluck out individual brain cells and examine how they malfunction. She measures which of a person's 22,000 genes are turned on or off in diseased brain cells, illuminating the genetic processes that are underway.
Remarkably, females affected by PD have an entirely different genetic expression profile than male brains. New studies are now underway to better describe this observation and to tie it in with other studies by MIND researcher Dr. Michael Schwarzschild, who examines the relationship between estrogen and PD. Several fundamental pathways within dopamine nigral neurons and cerebral cortex neurons are differentially affected in males and females with PD. The consequences of the changes are currently being investigated, and may have implications for development and testing of therapeutics for PD.

Hi All--
My twins were born at 34 weeks and 3 days. They are actually doing well breastfeeding and my supply is fine, too. (I have been pumping like crazy).
Yesterday, when they turned a bit past 2 weeks old, they told me they wanted to start fortifying my breast milk. Today, when I brought my daughter home they told me that I could either
a) Pump and fortify my breastmilk with neo-sure preemie infant formula when I give my daughter all her feedings with a bottle
b) Breastfeed and then give her two bottles of preemie formula a day.
This annoys me to no end. I want to exclusively breastfeed my twins and it looks like that's a real possibility if I ignore their advice. But I also don't want to damage my twins' growth (as they were implying if I do that).
Your experiences and advice? I know preemies are different, but the doc recommends I do this for 6 months....which I think is absolute BS.
At this point, we are not exclusively bfing, so when I give my daughter a bottle of my breast milk, I am fortifying it. That said, I think she could go full time bf pretty soon.
Thanks for your help! I feel like I don't have a lot of time to research this before I have to make a decision.

"Once customers get a year into their IoT deployments, they start to realize that they may have been shortsighted in the ways they built out their deployment and the key thing I see a lot of people looking at is - how can I take equipment data, pull it back in an IoT solution and show it in a dashboard," stated Dave McCarthy, Director of Products at Bsquare Corporation, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at @ThingsExpo, held November 1-3, 2016, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

A question crossed my mind today: I know that the amount your baby nurses is what tells your body how to regulate production; does that include comfort nursing? Does the baby have to be removing milk from the breast to inform the body about production or is it the act of sucking? Or both?
Just something I realized I didn't know the answer to today!

Find Your Passion: Student Sculpts Her Career Path
By Casey O'Rear
Most college students find it challenging to excel in one subject area, let alone two, or even three. One exception is University of Alabama student Lindsay Jones Lindsey.
She is working toward a degree in studio art-sculpture and triple minoring in biological sciences, Computer-Based Honors and the Blount Undergraduate Initiative.
Lindsey wants to become a facial reconstruction surgeon, and while this may seem an unusual goal for a sculpture major, she is confident her art studies will help her become a more effective surgeon.
"When I was younger, I remember my dad saying to me, 'Lindsay, I will be proud of you if you become a doctor, but I will be just as proud if you become an artist, a teacher or anything else. … Don't limit yourself to one thing; keep exploring and learning,'" Lindsey, of Madison, recalls.
This love of both art and science helped her win the John Fraser Ramsey Premier Award, given to one rising senior at UA for versatility and excellence.
Lindsey hopes to leave a tangible legacy on UA's campus.
She is designing artwork for eventual display in the Science and Engineering Complex's courtyard. This 6-and-a-half-foot sculpture depicts a Fibonacci spiral. Initially, it will be displayed within the Woods Quad Sculpture Garden before migrating to the other complex following the completion of construction in that area.
Lindsey says she chose the design not only for its significance in everyday life but also because it is the perfect representation of how art and science can blend.
"On some days I am an artist with a scientific bent, and, on others, I am a scientist with an artist bent. My Fibonacci sculpture reflects both aspects of my life," Lindsey says.
The Fibonacci spiral is a logarithmic spiral whose growth factor is related to the golden ratio, Phi, or 1.618. This means the spiral gets wider, or further from its origin, by a factor of Phi for every quarter turn it makes.
Lindsey's design includes an exposed skeleton of the spiral, constructed from hollow stainless steel square rods. Additionally, the spiral will be draped with one-eighth-inch-thick mirror-grade stainless steel to reflect the buildings and grounds surrounding it.
The art element is only half of Lindsey's plan.
She says her hope is it will also lead to more interaction between members of the UA campus and the Tuscaloosa community.
She hopes to implement a Fibonacci Field Day, she says, which would be an annual event held in the spring where students from area elementary schools would attend. Different academic departments at UA would have opportunity to interact with the young students and explain how the Fibonacci spiral relates specifically to their departments.
This field day would allow for young students in the Tuscaloosa community to learn about science, engineering, math, music and art outside of the classroom, she says. Lindsey says she hopes it will inspire the students to set goals and spark interests in different fields.
"The Fibonacci project is more than just a simple structure; it is more than a work of art. The project possesses the potential to become a University-wide venture, a collaboration venture between the colleges of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Human Environmental Sciences and the Grounds and Facilities," Lindsey says.
Lindsey's Fibonacci spiral is in construction and should be placed on campus during the 2011-2012 school year.
In addition to the many hours working on the project, Lindsey is involved in many other extracurricular activities on and off campus.
For three years she's worked as a research assistant to molecular biologist Dr. Matthew Jenny through the Computer-Based Honors program.
"While working in Dr. Jenny's lab inundated me in biology like no other way can, this experience has taught me more about humanity than science," Lindsey says. "I have learned the necessity of patience, the importance of tenacity. I have seen the ranges of human emotion from anger and disappointment to pure elation when a couple dozen lines finally line up. It's a humbling experience to see some of the greatest minds in science fail and then try, over and over again, until they succeed."
Lindsey is also an Honors College intern, member of Alpha Epsilon Delta Pre Health Society, co-president of the Arts and Sciences Student Ambassadors Leadership Council and vice-president of The XXXI Women's Honorary. She mentors through the Big Brother Big Sister program in Tuscaloosa.
With one year left at UA before beginning the medical school application process, she says she plans to continue working on various Computer-Based Honors projects and her Capstone project for the Blount Undergraduate Initiative, as well as working on the Fibonacci project's final details.
"I'm applying for USA Today Academic All-Americans in January for the Fibonacci Project, and I'm hoping to apply for a grant so the Fibonacci Field Day will be self supported and be able to continue after I graduate," Lindsey says.

Obama wants to do what he can, I think. He just doesn't have the political space now. That's why we're building a real movement behind this.of 2008, [NASA scientist] Jim Hansen gave us the number we needed to work with. His team put out a paper saying quite unequivocally that 350 parts per million of CO2 is the max that we can have in the atmosphere, safely. We need to get below that, actually. It is a difficult number, obviously, because we have passed it. But at least it was a number, and something to work with, globally. Something to move these big international negotiations back far closer to science than they've been in the past. That's what we set out to do.

Because it is not going to be easy.

The state House has passed its version of the state budget for fiscal years 2013-2015.
Lawmakers voted unanimously Wednesday for the $23.25 billion budget that secures funding for state departments and capital improvement projects.
The proposal falls about $600 million short of Gov. Neil Abercrombie's request but increases the 2011 biennial budget by more than $1 billion.
House finance committee Chairwoman Sylvia Luke said the proposal is cautious while restoring resources to departments that suffered cuts in recent years.
Republican Reps. Gene Ward and Richard Fale voted with reservations for the bill.
Ward told lawmakers that the budget proposal is too dependent on fee increases.
The House also unanimously passed budget proposals for the judiciary and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
The bills now go to the Senate for consideration.
