What is in this article?:
- China in ag commodity driver seat for next decade
- Weather extremes
- GMO future
- China has the second largest middle class in the world at 157 million, which will surpass the U.S.'s middle class in the next 10 years, so China's demand for agricultural commodities is going to continue to grow.
- Continued weather extremes will be dominant factor for North American food and agribusiness.
- What factor will most influence acceptance of GMOs? High commodity prices
More About:
China's continued influence on agricultural commodity demand and global economic growth, along with increasing weather extremes, stand out as key issues for North American food, beverage and agribusiness in 2013, a recent poll of Rabobank clients shows.
The poll of over 350 executives from leading companies in the North American food, beverage and agribusiness industry was conducted at Rabobank's recent Markets Forum held in New York City. Rabobank is a leading bank to the global food and agribusiness industry and premier financial institution to the North American food, beverage and agriculture sector.
China Will Continue to Drive Demand for Agricultural Commodities
Asked to name the country or region which they believe will have the greatest impact on global agricultural commodity demand over the next 10 years, 61 percent of respondents at the Rabobank Forum chose China. That view of China's continued dominance far exceeded views of India (14 percent), Africa (10 percent), Latin America (9 percent), and Southeast Asia (6 percent).
Views Mixed on China's Long-Term Economic Dominance
Despite recent signs of slowing economic growth in China, the large majority of executives polled by Rabobank see China continuing to be the most important driver of long term global economic growth. Forty one percent of respondents said China would drive the global economy for between five and 10 more years, while 40 percent said China will remain the primary driver of global economic growth for the next 50 years.
Bill Cordingley, Head of Food & Agribusiness Research and Advisory for Rabobank in the Americas, said, "These results are not surprising and reflect the significant impact that China has had on the food and agribusiness industry over the past 10 years, globally as well as in North America. China today has the second largest middle class in the world at 157 million, which will surpass the U.S.'s middle class in the next ten years, so China's demand for agricultural commodities is going to continue to grow. Our North American clients in the food, beverage and agriculture sectors see opportunities to play a role in the Chinese market, not only as exporters but also as investors in the country's domestic growth by bringing technology, know-how and capital to support development of a more modern, safe food system in China."
In addition to their views on China, Rabobank Forum attendees provided opinions on a range of topics that they believe will be significant issues for the global and North American food and agriculture/agribusiness industry in the coming years, including production levels, risk management, genetically modified organisms (GMO), social media, and U.S. and European macroeconomics.

lady got it—MelissaReplyCancel
That's because Melissa Etheridge is a dick! Not because there's some strange mythological condition and stars aligning to deprive ME of a healthy relationship; she's a straight up choadReplyCancel
@Frufa—is she asking people to come to her window? Is she the only one to walk across a fire for you?
Remember when Melissa was bffs with Gwyenny and Brad when they were dating lolReplyCancel
Yeah but her ex-wife seems like a bitch too. Complaining that she cant live off of 30 grand a month child support and she may have to go to the food bank lol smhReplyCancel
It's only fear that makes you run.ReplyCancel
I hope your day is choad-a-riffic, Frufra!ReplyCancel
@derek – honestly don't remember the deets, but they both seemed plain nuts at the time. But didn't Melissa up and leave and freeze all the $ or something? Like a major dramarama exit that only serves to scar the kids for life.
My FB friend quotes 'em all, but the one I remember the most is I Wanna Come Over. See, she was having an affair with another FB friend's husband, and they aired all their dirty laundry right there on FB in front of God and everybody. These are professional people in their 40's btw. It was a complete train wreck that had phone lines blazing all over the country – all of us who knew them personally and professionally bore witness to the debacle. CRAY!ReplyCancel

How is Melissa Etheridge A list? Doesn't she play Indian Casinos and county fairs? (Im not trying to be shitty, that's just what I assume her touring schedule is like). She doesn't strike me as someone who would sell enough tix to fill an arena.ReplyCancel
@Frufra, I will admit a tad bit of jealousy. I would love to watch that drama play out. I have a nephew who married a grade A bitch and she had a meltdown on FB once and we all sat with popcorn watching it unfold. I love that kind of stuff. Great entertainment in my boring life LOL.ReplyCancel

Summer Slaughter -- Hollywood, CA -- July 11th, 2008
I plan like i said earlier to give a pretty in depth review as well as much setlists as i can remember.
Well first me and my buddys got there about 2 hours before the doors opened just to ensure a good spot in line and so forth.
We got there we decided to eat some pizza theres a spot right by the Hob in hollywood that has some pretty good pizza but bummer is that its 5 dollars a slice. But anyways, doors opened at 430 we got in there and first band which was whitechapel went on at bout 5.
And for those that has read my posts in previous messages know that i said i wil eliminate dancers.
so during whitechapel (which was the ONLY band that got around to having dancers) i stood right in the middle of the pit if a dancer would get close to me i would push them as far as possible. After whitechapel there was a few more bands that could have dancing music but all the metal heads got hint of what i was doing and thats how it was the whole night.
So now on with individual band reviews.
WhiteChapel:On album i hated there debut cd, and there newest cd which is "this is Exile" i thought had 2 decent songs.Other then that bunch of generic deathcore. At summer slaughter they did not impress me, they came out with an intro that was just a breakdown. They reall do not need three guitarists for the fact they do not even use it it just makes guitars sound kinda muddy.
drums were alright, vocals were ehh.
Vicer Exciser
Eternal refuge
This Is Exile
??(i think it was somatic defilement though)
Psycroptic: One of the first bands i really wanted to see. And these austrailian death metallers fell no where short of my expectations. For those who went to this show, right when Psycroptic started i was the guy in the middle of the pit just windmilling. They killed and this band was definittly the end of dancing. Pits just circled and pushed and were brutal. Psycroptic set my mood.
The Colour Of Sleep
Merchants of Deciet
Lacertine Forest
Alpha Breed
Born of osiris: All i have to say Is wow!This was the biggest pile of shit i heard all night. The guitar tone was shitty the drummer looks like something in planet of the apes. This band was just utterly terrible. Very Sloppy as well.
Still they were a "dance" kind of band but we already eliminated that every time someon would even try to dance we would just push them as hard as we could. HAHA pussys.
Intro(dumb Ass Breakdown)
Brace Legs
Empires Erased
Abstract Art
Bow Down
Open arms To Damnation
Aborted: For people who read in previous posts i said i would kill during aborted and i defintlly did.The pit Was Awesome i killed the whole time in it.
There Sound was really heavy and thick sounding it was awesome. Second Band to get the crowd in kill mode. My fav line all set by them was "LETS SEE SOME FUCKING BLOOD OUT THERE." SICK! They Were outstanding.
Meticulous InVagination
Heriditery band
Sanguine Verses
Dead Wreckoning
Despised Icon: This Is one of the very few deathcore bands i actually do like But coming on after aborted i just was not feeling them. I stood back and watched and eventually took a smoke break. As Far as dancers my fellow metalheads had that covered. They didnt perform bad just not one of my favs.
Furtive Monolouge
Sunset Wil Never Charm Us
A Fractured Hand
Bulletproof Scales
In The Arms Of Perdition
Faceless: They were Definitlly pretty cool. im Not a big fan or the new song on myspace but they definitlly have some talent. The pits were pretty cool i was in it for a bit then decided to stand back. They Has to cut there set one song short which kinda sucks but it was still cool.

New song- Xenocrat:this song was pretty cool but it sound lie there trying to hard to be technical.
New song- Ancient Covenant
(the song that was taken of was Hypocrisy)

They were shitty VERYYY SHITTY.
Intro( WAS THAT JOKE THING ON MYSPACE "ITS DINNER TIME")(FAGGOTS)
Worship your Demons
We Bleed
Cold Hate, Warm Blood
Slit Your Guts
Vader: WAS FUCKING INCREDIBLE!! Pits were awesome they sounded tight clean, Full of energy amazing. I think they should have gotten like ten more min but its all right they still kicked ass Lots of ass. They used laboga amps for anyone thats interested in guitar equipment.
Between Day and night
Silent Empire
Kataklysm: FUCK!!! They have some energy. Earlier in the day When Me and my buddys got pizza the guys from kataklysm were there so we started talking to them and ate pizza with them.

Needles and Syringes Are a Must-Have for a Medical Practice
As the office or purchasing manager, you already know how important it is to have more than enough needles and syringes available for whatever emergency comes through the door. From looking in the ears of a toddler to numbing an area before stitching up a cut from a skateboard accident, needles and syringes are essential for many treatment programs. You want to make sure your staff of doctors, nurses and medical professionals have them in an easily accessible place while treating a patient.
Needles for All Size Patients and Treatments
From the adorable child with strep throat to the businessman with a cut from a rusty knife, you never know what gauge needle you're going to need next. You want to stock needles in your exam rooms and common areas to meet any occasion that arises. You can purchase needles with a gauge of 18, 20, 22 or a larger 25. The length of the needle makes a difference between injecting a local anesthetic into a cut or drawing blood from a deeper vein. You can order needle lengths from 1/2 inch to 1 inch.
Looking in the Ears
It's part of a routine evaluation to look into a patient's ear and down the throat and listen to chest breathing. Each new patient needs an ear specula for safety and hygiene. Briggs Healthcare and KleenSpec provide your office with the top-quality ear specula that you want to use on your patients. Briggs Healthcare offers a specula that's compatible with a fiber-optic otoscope for the most up-to-date technology. Ordering 2 3/4-, 4- and 4 1/2-mm ear speculas ensures you have the right size to make your patient as comfortable as possible during the exam.
Provide Syringes for Many Purposes
Your medical office needs syringes big enough to draw blood and small enough for a minimum dosage of medication. The Monoject and Exel Luer syringes come in 15, 18, 20 and 25 gauges to meet the need of all your patients. You can order syringes designed for your diabetic patients to keep on hand when a new case is diagnosed. There are syringes with catheter tips when you need to pull fluid into it without a needle. Ordering a variety of sizes is easy with 5/8-, 1-, 1 1/2- and 1 3/4-inch lengths in stock.
Keeping Stock on Hand
There's nothing worse than having to make do with a larger or smaller size while you wait for your new supplies to run. Quill makes it easy to stay stocked up with needles sold in packs of 100, 250 and 500. When ordering syringes, you can order packs that offer multiple sizes. Syringes arrive in boxes of 100 or 1,000 to accommodate most size medical offices. You can store extras in the exam room and common area for easy access.

Kinesiology & Physical Education
Laurier acquires significant collection of Olympic and sports history
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 3/10
Students and faculty at Wilfrid Laurier University now have access to 40 years of Olympic and sports history in the form of personal documents, reports and correspondence belonging to former International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Avery Brundage.
Brundage, a successful businessman and one-time Olympic competitor, led the IOC from 1952 to 1972 a politically-charged period that saw the rise of television in sport.
If anybody is interested in trying to understand the Olympic movement in the post Second World War era, and the early- to mid-stages of the Cold War, this is the place to start, said Stephen Wenn, professor of Kinesiology and Physical Education.
Wenn has written several papers on Brundage, and suggested bringing the collection to Laurier with the help of an endowment fund.
The 146 reels of microfilm include Brundages personal correspondence with IOC members during his tenure, minutes of IOC board meetings, personal correspondence pertaining to the Olympics, speeches, his personal newspaper and magazine clippings, and documents related to successful and unsuccessful Olympic bids.
The collection is being housed at Laurier's Waterloo campus Library in the Archives and Special Collections Department.
I think its a good opportunity for students in a number of departments to feed their interest in sport and the history of sport through the use of a very significant archival collection, said Wenn.
Archives and Special Collections is located on the first floor of the library, and is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Assignment: Education-Career Pathways
Helping Students Find Careers
These eighth graders at Logan Middle School in La Crosse are already preparing for life after high school graduation.
"We have been hearing for a long time that students are going to college and they're not necessarily ready," said Lisa Buley, Logan Middle School counselor.
Counselors at Logan Middle school are trying to get their students ready by starting a conversation about each student's post high school interests and goals.
"Our district is really pushing for college and career readiness," said Buley.
So, whether students are interested in a military career, going to college, or finding an apprenticeship, the School District of La Crosse wants to help students start thinking about their future.
"That's our ultimate goal," said Buley. "For every student to graduate and continue on and find something they're good at, and find a career or a job that they can get into right away."
"And contribute to society in a successful way," said Meredith Tomesh, Logan Middle School counselor.
To do that, many middle schools and high schools around the country have partnered with institutions of higher education like Western Technical College through a nation-wide initiative called "Career Pathways."
"Because students need to be thinking earlier about their future," said Deb Hether, manager of K-12 relations at Western Technical College. "I can't say as early as 8th grade they're going to know what they want to be or what they're gonna do, but they're gonna understand what's out there."
In Wisconsin, career possibilities are explained to students through the state's Career Pathway model which categorizes potential careers that have a set of common knowledge and skills into 17 career clusters.
"One example that works really well is the health science cluster," said Hether. "Kids think that to be in health care you should be a nurse or a doctor, and there are so many different aspects of being in health care."
Eighth grader Trey Davis has learned this first hand.
"I want to be a surgeon," said Davis. "I want to work in the medical field. I've always been interested in that."
But after working with his school counselors and learning about all of the different possibilities within the health science career cluster, Trey says there is another possible career that has sparked his interest.
"Yeah, like a physical therapist," said Davis. "I didn't know that was in that cluster."
And now that he does... Trey has opened himself up to new possibilities and a deeper understanding of how the learning that takes place now will impact his future.
"They start to understand the connection between what they're doing now and academics and reaching their dreams. That's exciting," said Buley. "And to see that every kid has a dream. They want to do something. It's just what is it. And we're getting them excited about that and getting them thinking about what could I do after high school and how do I get there."
"I like this process because I like learning about all the clusters and my cluster in general," said Davis. "And find out all the careers that are in my cluster. It's just been real fun.

I've read a lot of contradictory information about vitamin D. Everyone agrees that it is not in the breast milk and that it is really important. There seems to be disagreement, however, in how much sun exposure is necessary for adequate natural vitamin D intake. Some say as little as 20 minutes a day, 4-5 times a week, 4-5 months a year. Others say that research indicates vitamin D supplementation has been associated with really great later in life health. I didn't worry about it during the summer and fall (my LO was born in May), but now it has been cold, wet, and gloomy outside for weeks. He is 7 months old, and we gave him his first bit of solids this evening (peas). I bought the Vitamin D supplement at the store (Tri-Vi-Sol), and I gave him a little. But now I'm second-guessing myself.
I'm also wondering about iron. I delayed solids until month 7, because I know that babies exclusively breast fed that long do not appear to develop anemia. Now that he has had maybe a quarter teaspoon of peas this evening, I am for the first time worrying (probably irrationally) about whether or not he will get enough iron. I think I might just emotionally be dealing with this new situation of no longer EBF. For 7 months I have delighted in imagining a pristine bacterial balance in his gut, but that is not exactly the same anymore and I don't know exactly how. Be that as it may, he hated the peas. I'm worried he won't get enough nutrients now since he, unlike my first child who gobbled down the iron-fortified rice cereal on the first try, appears to be more reluctant with the food. So I'm wondering if I should I supplement? I can't find any research regarding the effects of iron supplementation after 7 months.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5, 2014 — The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing food safety recommendations for the Great Plains, Midwest and Northeast affected by snow storms moving across the country.
Power outages that often result from weather emergencies compromise the safety of stored food, but there are steps that can reduce food waste and the risk of foodborne illness. FSIS wants those affected to be aware of resources available to them and the measures they can take to keep food safe and protect themselves.
FSIS' YouTube video "Food Safety During Power Outages" has instructions for keeping frozen and refrigerated food safe. The publication "A Consumer's Guide to Food Safety: Severe Storms and Hurricanes" can be downloaded and printed for reference during a power outage.
FSIS will provide relevant food safety information as the storm progresses from its Twitter feed @USDAFoodSafety. To get tweets about weather-related food safety issues affecting just your state, follow @XX_FSISAlert, replacing XX with your state or territory's postal abbreviation.
Steps to follow if the power goes out:
Steps to follow after a weather emergency:
Videos detailing food safety information are available in English, Spanish and American Sign Language on FSIS' YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/USDAFoodSafety. An FSIS Public Service Announcement (PSA) illustrating practical food safety recommendations for handling and consuming foods stored in refrigerators and freezers during and after a power outage is available in 30- and 60-second versions at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get-answers/videos-psas/food-safety-public-service-announcements. News organizations and power companies can obtain hard copy (Beta and DVD) versions of the PSA by contacting FSIS' Food Safety Education Staff at (301) 344-4757.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at www.AskKaren.gov or m.AskKaren.gov on a smartphone. Mobile Ask Karen can also be downloaded from the Apple and Android app stores. Consumers can e-mail, chat with a live representative or call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline directly from the app. To use these features from Mobile Ask Karen, simply choose "Contact Us" from the menu. The live chat option and the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline, 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854), are available in English and Spanish on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET.

- Gu, Hai-Ying; Yu, Ai-Min; Chen, Hong-Yuan
- Abstract
- An electrochemically pretreated glassy carbon electrode (PGCE) was achieved by anodic oxidation at 1.8 V and following potential cycling in the potential range from -0.8 to + 1.0 V. The resulting PGCE gave well-defined redox peaks with Epa = -0.073 V, Epc = 0.044 V. The PGCE showed good activity in improving the electrochemical responses of some water-soluble Vitamins, such as Vitamin (VB2), Vitamin (VB6) and Vitamin (VC). VB2, VB6 could be adsorbed at PGCE and VC proceeded with an electrocatalytic process. The electrochemical behavior of VB6 at PGCE depended on the potential scanning method and the pretreatment process of the electrode. The PGCE was rather stable and can be used to simultaneously determine these vitamins in multivitamin tablets.

July 24, 2013 —
About 40 people turned out to the lawn in front of the courthouse in Monticello on July 20 to join the hundreds of groups in cities across the country who were protesting the decision in the Trayvon Martin shooting death.
On July 13, a jury declared that George Zimmerman was not guilty of second-degree murder on manslaughter charges in Martin's killing. Zimmerman's lawyers said that he acted in self defense when he shot Martin to death on February 26, 2012. Zimmerman had called police to report Martin's presence in the neighborhood in Florida, and police instructed him not to follow Martin. Zimmerman ignored the request, and the killing sparked howls of protest when Zimmerman, initially, was not charged with a crime
The verdict has drawn new criticism over so-called Stand Your Ground Laws, which allow for the use of deadly force in situations involving self-defense.
The verdict also drew a reaction from President Barack Obama who said, "Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago."
At the demonstration in Monticello, which was organized by the Sullivan County NAACP, Antoinette Williams, said that she wished that Obama had announced the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) was definitely going to bring civil rights charges against Zimmerman; DOJ is currently considering that option.
Williams also said, "I was glad to see that he made a statement, that he didn't stay neutral. It's an issue that people across the entire country have decided that this was a travesty of justice. The fact that there was diversity in the reaction to the verdict shows that this is not just an issue of race. It's an issue of the Stand Your Ground Law that has to be repealed, a law that should never have come into existence."
"I think people are reacting because they understand that there's absolutely no way that George Zimmerman could have been convicted" in light of the law.
She said she hoped the hundreds of demonstrations across the country put pressure on the DOJ to file charges against Zimmerman, and put a spotlight on racial profiling.

From the jungle heat of Panama to the sandstorms of Iraq, the U.S. Armed Forces have counted on Beretta pistols for almost two decades of distinguished service.

In this post, I'll be showing you the beauty of using quotations in your blog posts. You'll get to see not only blockquotes but pull quotes as well. Who says the Web can't look as good as print.
I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
~ John Burroughs
Johnny always told some great stuff. Man, he had all kinds of stories, jokes, and quotes to tell folks. You couldn't go anywhere without him tryin' to make the day better for anyone. Take that time he was telling Betty something important.
Betty, you need to listen to this here sayin' I once heard from one of the greatest men alive.
There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. But omitted, and the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves — or lose the ventures before us.
There neva' was a better sayin' than that. I'd bet my life on it.
Quotations can really spice up your site, but you don't want to overdo them like I am in this example post. It could be a disaster. You want to use them cautiously, yet you should use them imaginatively.
Now, Katherine Anne Porter, she knew what she was talkin' about. Katherine once said, "There seems to be a kind of order in the universe…in the movement of the stars and the turning of the Earth and the changing of the seasons. But human life is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own right and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own."
She was definitely known to throw out a good quote or two on occasion.

CollegeMeasures.org provides key outcome measures for 1,576 four-year public and private colleges in the US. The website makes it simple to strategically evaluate the performance of colleges and state systems in order to identify areas for further analysis and focus. Scenario modeling tools are included which make it easy to set targets using comparative data and conduct "what if" analyses in order to see the impacts of potential changes in performance.
The website focuses on seven key outcomes measures. These include: graduation rates, first-year retention rates, education-related cost per student, cost per degree, student loan default rates, and the ratio of student loan payments to earnings for recent graduates. In addition, we have created a measure for "cost of attrition" which quantifies the amount of money a college spends to educate first-year undergraduate students (first-time, full-time) who do not begin a second year. Further detailed data is provided for each of the seven measures.
Please choose one of the four options below to get started.
CollegeMeasures' 4-year college data tool presents key performance measures for four-year colleges in the United States.

The Hawaiian Humane Society notified police about a 36-year-old Haleiwa woman accused of using a dangerous instrument to discipline her pet.
Police say the dog died.
The suspect then reported the incident to police after realizing the severity of the situation.
Andrea Fiegle was arrested on Sunday at a home on Paalaa Road at around 6 p.m. for cruelty to animals in the first degree.
The Hawaiian Humane Society says when they arrived, her dog Star was already dead. Humane Society officials say Fiegle attacked Star with a common kitchen item, but she told police she didn't realize the injuries were so severe.
"We're sorry this dog suffered such mortal injuries that there was nothing else we could do for him," said Jacque LeBlanc of the Hawaiian Humane Society.
Neighbors were shocked by the news. They say they didn't hear a commotion or anything out of the ordinary Sunday evening. They say Fiegle seemed pleasant and friendly and seemed to care for her dog.

what has Shermen Alexie on his own other than jump on this manufactured band-wagon of La Raza Hate and Discontentment with non-La Raza standards?
Sherman Alexie Says Arizona Has Made Native Books Sacred
Sherman Alexie Says Arizona Has Made Native Books Sacred
ICTMN Staff
Sherman Alexie threw his two cents into the Tucson book ban and ethnic studies ban in Arizona recently on The Progressive website. He says that by banning books, the state has made them "sacred documents."
"In the effort to vanish our books, Arizona has actually given them enormous power. Arizona has made our books sacred documents now."

He's right! By banning books about indigenous and Latino cultures, it will backfire into book clubs born specifically out of a racist agenda. Sherman Alexie has been pushing for more book reading over the popular audiobooks trend, but this latest movement by an AZ school system only fuels this cause.
What does La Raza have to do with book banning? Did they ban books too? Or are they part of a movement to save book reading as Alexie is doing? Where's the connection?

Hi! I am new to this forum (and forums in general) and am a little lost as to how to get started besides lurking. My LO is 11 wks old today and I have been trying to get her to bf for 11 wks. My milk was delayed coming in and she became jaundiced in the hospital, so we started supplementing with an SNS. I got ulcerations on my nipples, mastitis, and a yeast infection, but she has never gotten efficient at nursing despite getting her frenulum clipped and weeks of "suck training" with a speech pathologist. I have been struggling with accepting the bfing relationship as it is--largely one that involves pumping and bottle feeding. She is starting to struggle even against the bottle and I'm afraid she will develop food aversions and feeding issues. At this point, all I really want is for her to grow into a healthy happy baby and to enjoy her feeding experience whatever it is.
Every time I start to go through the grieving process and let go of the idea of nursing, I get seduced by the idea that she might get better, more efficient--tomorrow, next week, next month. I feel so alone in this struggle because it feels like there is support if I keep struggling with nursing and no support if I decide to EP. Where do I find a local group that supports EPing moms? How do I get started with a group of online EPing moms? Are there any other moms who are struggling or have struggled with my same issues?

Please, don't be desperate.
Chandler should never been drafted.
With a 3-10 record Wilson Chandler is looking better in the past 3 games.....his decent performance has me thinking he is ready to be traded to a team to be their SF.
Him not playing ball all summer was news to me... He looks as if he is getting some of his explosiveness back... And him playing power forward makes our defense alot better along with Larry...
although Chandler would like to be at his "natural position" SF acting like a (2 year person on the job) veteran-helper for 8 to 18 minutes a game toward "natural" PF rookie Jordan Hill to get rid of the rookie college flaws by letting the rookie bang-bodies in the paint for low post scoring, rebounding, shotblocking, and defending the paint area.
Then the 1-9 start would be more acceptable as a process of preparing the young-players for the midseason.
Wilson Chandler offense is 110% better than what he have been showing this season.
Wilson Chandler at the SF position for 30 mpg stats would be 18 pts, 5 rbd, 3 ast, 1 stl, 1blk, 2 to, 4 fouls, with an incredible hustling defensive effort towards oponents PF/SF/SG.
And these stats are just two-consistant seasons on Chandlers rookie contract, that was noticed in his DNP rookies season.
I been waiting on this Thread:
The Knicks Starting SF-Wilson Chandler is forced at PF/SG
Please, don't be desperate.
Chandler should never been drafted.
Late first round pick 21 years old
To be honest I think he is over achieving.
We say he should not of been drafted, but I believe he was a late first round steal, he is better right now at 21 than some lottery picks that year.
If he had better players around him he would average less, but be considered a great role player
hype kills potential and that is whats happening to him
too much talk in the media and from fans.
Im still trying to figure out at one point did wilson chandler come out and say
" i am an all star"
for us to bash him constantly.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
I think not...
Rudy Fernandez, Aaron Brooks, Arron Afflallo, Carl Landry, Glen Davis, Marc Gasol, and Ramon Sessions were all drafted after Chandler and are arguably better. Meanwhile I see only a few players ahead of him that have been terrible.
chandler is better than alla them besides gasol
yeah i dunno what you all are talking about for his age, not even playing his rookie season, this is technically his second season , he is definitely better than most of those players
I put him in the top ten of his draft class
and obviously the NBA does too being that he made the sophmore team last season.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
Rudy Fernandez is a superior talent and skilled player compared to Chandler.
Rudy is an actual SG with ball handling and pass skills, along with Ray Allen 3pt range and JR Smith type athleticism.
Rudy would make the Knicks a .500 team and have a Ginobili type impact on this team.
Marc Gasol is a top 10 center...obviously better than Chandler
Aaron Brooks and Ramon Sessions are starting PG.
Landry, Davis, both would help the Knicks more than Chandler can.
Chandler is stationary...like Duhon, except he's athletic ...iono.
Chandler just isn't it.
I'll draft a lot of guys over him.
Chadler is one of those guys that was powerful and big in college and either has to develop skills of a 2/3 man.
1. He still doesn't get into a triple-threat position when he recieves the ball.
2. He doesn't want the ball when its not in his hands.
3. he doesn't work to get to beneficial scoring positions.
4. He can't shoot the 3 consistently.
5. He need to create for others off the dribble / limit offensive fouls
He still has the raw feeling about him (which is good) but his offensive intensity is horrible and he has lost a ton of confidence.
Many times it looks like he doesn't fit in the flow, which is hard to teach.
I don't know if he can play any other position but a 3man and he is average there and we have gallo for next 5-6 years....
Wilson Chandler needs to check in with Tim Grover for some proper training. Grover is good at developing a player's mid-range game. He has a lot of talent he just needs to understand his game is mid range to down low and reading the offensive play. Getting to the basket is not hard for him, but he needs to know when to set up others for the open jumper. A shooting coach is also a priority. The knicks never run proper half court plays so when anyone shoots the ball it seems as if they are forcing it. Chandler and Gallo should be getting the ball off of screens and mid range plays. Gallo should get them until he warms up and then start taking threes. While Chandler should get them all night long, driving to the basket and wearing down the other team at the free throw line. If used correctly Chandler/Gallo are guys that can supply consistent points if the 2010 plan doesn't backfire.
See metro I dont know what you are arguing against though. Allot of guys were picked over chandler
in fact 21 of them. The fact chandler produces as he does is good for a 22nd pick at 21 years old. No one is saying chandler is an all star or great, yet you continue to bash into him as if some one is saying so. All that I see in chandler is a really good role player on a losing team who gets pushed down because of the teams lack of success. There are times in games where chandler shows flashes and some times he looks lost like most 22nd pick 21 year olds in their 2nd full season. No one is arguing against you, I am just defending chandler in that he wasnt a lotter pick not even an early first rounder, and as far as players picked after him that are better than him, I am sure you can find in every draft 5 or 6 players better than the 22nd pick, that were picked later. I just dont get why at 2 mil a year every one loves knocking chandler, it doesnt make sense, he had no hype was never a projected all star, and yet we deem him as a bust, how can a 22nd pick average 12 ppg 5 reb 1 blk be a bust at 21 years old.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
I think its a little more than the numbers.
Chandler underacheives.
He's a powerful man.
STRENGTH AND SPEED for his size.
He doesnt seem to go at 100% on every play, its disappointing.
Metro we never agree
and on this i definitely agree
but i dont think he is a failure he is technically playing potential equal basketball right now
his production has also been retarded by coaching and veterans who over shoot at his position
IE Q rich, and Tim Thomas, and Al harrington, and Jefferies have all taken away from his development so I am not quite sure we have seen the best of him, I think allot of his poor choices and withholding of being explosive stems from an allotment of players at his position who have played over him during the Zeke-Mike D era.
If jefferies and q rich were not on this team he would have started his rookie year and probably be averaging a few more statistics this season.
but thats all here nor there
point is for his draft position, his age, the players he plays with, the quality of the team he plays for
I think he is doing quite fine.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
nate mcmillan is complaining that the trailmix need "bodies".chandler and harrington should get swapped for rudy f and darius miles's money.
Having a low IQ says one thing to me, he is either a bust or will take YEARS to develop a solid game where he knows his shots and how to approach every game.
I HOPE that him not playing well because of surgery is the truth to his lack of shooting but when you jack up shots when you can easily drive to the basket with your size and athleticism then I just see a dumb individual.
Chandler could have played twice as good if he just realized that his game is at the max 15 feet from the basket. He has to stay inside...and then we'll see him contribute more than ever.

Things are still going slow, but steady in the weight gain department for us. She's now made it up to 12 lbs. At the suggestion of a few people I went ahead and purchased a baby scale. I'm glad I did! After several weighted feedings, I've learned she's taking anywhere from 3-6 oz from me when she nurses. That is on par/better than when she takes a bottle.
After several days of research, I'm convinced we have several things working against her weight gain. After yesterday's incident, I'm convinced we are definitely dealing with reflux or GERDs. She actually had projectile vomit, not just spit up this time. After staying with her the rest of the day, it was obvious she was not sick, she was still very alert and playful and cooed and ahhed at everything. The vomit occurred after taking a bottle...but not after nursing... So, I'm wondering if she's sucking in too much air making it worse? Anyway, aside from the reflux, I think we may have a hypermetabolizer. DH and I were both very slender babies, so genetically it would make sense.
I just wanted to say thanks for the support and advice provided earlier. As long as I am changing wet diapers often and she's gaining I'm not going to worry about it.

What is in this article?:
More About:
Dustin Blunier, marketing communications manager for Precision Planting, heard one too many stories of farmers investing high hopes and a hundred thousand dollars in a new corn planter, only to find it performed worse than their old one.
"Guys would say, 'If there's one new thing I am going to buy for my operation when I'm farming, it's a planter,'" Blunier recounts. "So they go and spend anywhere from fifty- to a hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars and find out later that their first-year stands are worse than the last two or three years when they were running a 20- or 25-year-old planter."
He says the most common reason for the lag in performance is that buyers fail to get the planter outfitted or configured in a way that fits their farming conditions, unlike their old planter that they had fine-tuned over the years.
"Buying a planter is a very important decision, and it takes some time," he says. "Really, it takes customization."
In an attempt to prevent one more case of buyer's remorse, the group at Precision Planting devised a purchase guide that outlines all the factors farmers need to consider before buying their next planter. Blunier says the buying process has gotten more complex over the years due to advances in equipment and an ever-increasing number of options designed to perfect the planting of corn. These include variable-rate seeding, swath control, bulk seed fill, automatic down-pressure control, narrow rows, twin rows, air-metering systems and planter monitors.
"You can't go to your implement dealer and say, 'Give me a corn planter' with the underlying assumption that there is one planter that works for everyone," he explains. "That just is not the scenario. You have to look at all the different options and how they are going to work on your operation."
Because Precision Planting deals only in planter attachments, the company strives to be brand neutral when it comes to the planter itself. Blunier says there are strengths and weaknesses to every planter out there, so the key to buying is to identify them and find the system that will best address your biggest needs.
"There's a lot of options to consider, and you need to take the approach of which ones fit my operation," he says. "Your dealership is going to have options. Your Precision Planting dealer is going to have options. And it is important that all those fit together so you can make the most of each one."
Here are the 10 factors Blunier says to consider.

Not on view
Alexander Archipenko was born in Kiev, Ukraine, but moved to Paris by age 22. His contact with the burgeoning style of Cubism and the movement toward abstraction led the artist to discontinue his training at the conservative École des Beaux-Arts. Instead, he studied independently at museums around the city and began to exhibit—mostly sculpture—alongside Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris and Fernand Léger, among others. When World War I began, Archipenko moved to the south of France, but because he did not have a studio, he worked primarily in two-dimensional media. Figure dates to this time and relates a new technique the artist called "sculpto-painting"—a method of creating reliefs using glass, wood, and metal. In 1923 the Archipenkos moved to New York and it was in the American metropolis where the collector and champion of European modernism, Galka Scheyer, came to know the artist. When he presented Scheyer with this work, he inscribed it "to Mrs. Scheyer" and dated it "1924 New York".

There is a first time for everything. We have seen that this year, in terms of the Adequate Yearly Progress requirement for student subgroups under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), and understanding NCLB overall.
Because this is the first year, it is our benchmark or baseline if you will. It is our starting point, our launching pad from which we need to reach greater goals by 2014.
And, as you are likely now aware, this week we announced that we had identified hundreds of schools which met all federal and state Adequate Yearly Progress criteria, with the exception of test participation rates for student subgroups. The result: "not making AYP."
It was a reality that created an unstable launching pad.
So we announced that we will rectify this, because if we want to reach these goals, we need to be given an honest chance.
Letters will be sent out to each of the identified schools on Monday informing them of the steps that they need to take to rectify their AYP status. Our effort to contact these schools is simultaneous with our informing the media, so your communities are not misinformed of your school's status. Some media organizations have already decided not to publish or post online AYP data for subgroups. The memos are posted on the ISBE web home page, www.isbe.net
On an additional note, as I wrote to you each last week,
our staff and board are drafting our recommended FY 05 education budget. And, we
have been discussing how the current budget has forced many of you to do more
with less. We fully realize that this attitude of funding education is hurting
not helping our districts. Again I ask each of you to ponder the thought: Given
the opportunity to make priorities in what the legislature funds, what would you
fund first and last, so the needs of all
Lastly, I want to share with you our intent to soon release the Condition of Public Education Report for 2003. This report will be used to inform your local policymakers of the need to properly fund education, particularly when all schools face additional pressures to meet AYP under NCLB. We will be issuing a series of articles on several issues included in the report, and ask each of you for your editorial support. Please illustrate to your local constituents through a letter to the editor the impact of inadequate funding on your school district and what is needed to alleviate some of these pressures.
I appreciate your support and welcome your insight.

Alternate Assessment Work Group
ISBE convened an Illinois Alternate Assessment Work Group on December 8 and 9th to resume statewide discussions on the IAA. The Work Group will review and implement recommendations of the Assessment and Accountability Task Force, determine how best to assess students with disabilities given new federal regulations and will assist the state in determining parameters for subsequent requests for proposals for an alternate assessment. The group is expected to meet monthly over the next year.
Lynne Curry, Director of Policy and Planning and Christopher Koch, Director of Special Education are co-chairing the committee with Sue Ireland of the Illinois Alliance of Administrators of Special Education serving as facilitator.
The first meeting included a presentation from Rachel
Quenemoen of the
Most states are reviewing alternate assessment instruments and practice as a result of this new guidance from the U.S. Department of Education. NCEO outlined best practice among states for development and maintenance of alternate assessments including:
1) Careful stakeholder and policymaker development of desired student outcomes for the populations, reflecting the best understanding of research and practice.
2) Careful development, testing, and refinement of assessment methods.
3) Scoring of evidence according to professionally accepted standards.
4) Standard-setting process to allow use of results in reporting and accountability systems.
5) Continuous improvement of assessment process.
The work group recognized the importance of developing clear alternate standards with access points for all students and a subcommittee was established to review this in more detail.
Ms. Quenemoen's presentation, a listing of participants, minutes from the first meeting, and final regulations will be located on ISBE's website early next week at www.isbe.net/assessment/IAA.htm.

Appeals Advisory Committee Update
Considerable time and energy has been spent with districts seeking to file an appeal with the Appeals Advisory Committee regarding the recent school report cards. Over 50 appeals had been formally filed, and many more inquired about the process. Following ISBE's decision to allow districts to verify test participation rate data, the number of appeals (for other reasons) is much smaller. Staff will be contacting all of the appealing districts regarding status.

Aiming low
City Council District 3 race degenerates into name-calling contest
By André Coleman 02/21/2013
With less than two weeks to go before the March 5 election, candidates for the City Council's District 3 seat are pulling out their big guns — pardon the pun — to take over for former Councilman Chris Holden, who in November was elected to the state Assembly.
The "big guns" metaphor, though perhaps a little tasteless to some, seems appropriate enough, considering all three candidates — John J. Kennedy, Ishmael Trone and the Rev. Nicholas Benson — all own weapons, and two of the three men faced gun-related criminal charges, with Kennedy being acquitted of attempted murder after shooting a man accidentally in 1993, and Trone pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges after being stopped at Bob Hope Airport while trying to get on a plane with a loaded handgun in his bag.
But instead of talking about gun violence, like longtime District 3 resident Mae Gentry wants them to do, the candidates are using their remaining campaign time to smear one another.
"I wish they would talk about the issues," said Gentry, a onetime journalist with the Atlanta Journal Constitution. "When I started looking into the other candidates in the race, I thought I wouldn't want to vote for any of these guys. We can do better, but I am still going to vote."
Benson essentially quit campaigning after the Pasadena Weekly reported two weeks ago that he did not attend either USC or Fuller Theological Seminary, as he had claimed, and that he goes by a number of different names besides Benson. He also routinely uses different birth dates.
Trone, too, has seen his share of controversy, with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office investigating complaints that he does not live in the district, at the headquarters of a bail bonds company he owns on East Orange Grove Boulevard, but really resides in Altadena, at a home that he owns along with his estranged wife, Juanita. Trone has emphatically denied the claim.
But just when it seemed as though the campaign could not go any lower, an anonymous flier started appearing in mailboxes and on emails last week, raising questions about Kennedy's sexuality. Lena Kennedy, the candidate's sister and campaign manager, called the attacks "sinful."
"Isn't it amazing that a man who values women, and is not running through women while he is single, is being lied about instead of being looked up to because he is honoring the example of our father, who waited to find the right woman," Lena Kennedy said. "John stands for the way our parents raised us, which was to value yourself and other people. This sleazy type of campaigning is not who we are. This is not what our city represents."
Lena Kennedy was referring to a lengthy article published in 1995 in the Richmond-Times Dispatch detailing Kennedy's arrest — and subsequent acquittal — regarding the 1993 shooting of Jonathan Thomas in Northwest Pasadena.
In 1995, Kennedy followed former Pasadena Police Chief Jerry Oliver to Richmond, Va., where Oliver took as over as chief and Kennedy became deputy chief. Two years prior to that, the Virginia newspaper reported, Kennedy said he was mentoring Thomas, who was 20 at the time.
"The Trone campaign is spreading innuendo by posting that article," Lena Kennedy said. "We wish they would talk about the issues."
According to the article, which quotes Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Nancy Naftel, Thomas told Kennedy he would not be sleeping at Kennedy's home because he was planning to spend that night with his girlfriend. Kennedy then asked Thomas for a .22-caliber handgun that Thomas had previously shown him and had brought into the car they were driving in. Kennedy then pointed the gun at Thomas' stomach and pulled the trigger. The gun didn't go off, but the trigger action slid the lone round left in the gun's magazine into the chamber of the weapon. When Kennedy pulled the trigger again, the gun went off, the bullet ripping into Thomas' lower abdomen. Kennedy described his actions as innocent horseplay gone awry.
Kennedy, who testified that he did not know the gun was loaded, drove Thomas to Huntington Hospital, where surgeons saved his life. Kennedy was later acquitted of three felony charges. The jury deadlocked on two misdemeanor offenses, which were dismissed after Naftel decided not to retry Kennedy, who prior to the incident served as president of the NAACP Pasadena Branch.
Kennedy, now an executive with the Los Angeles Urban League, claims he had been mentoring Thomas for about five years by the time of the shooting. He said he often gave Thomas money, food and a place to stay.
Naftel points out in the article that it would not have been unusual for Kennedy to mentor a young man in the community. Several other prominent local African-Americans have mentored young men, including NAACP President Joe Brown.
"We have always tried to specialize and focus on what we could do with the young men in our community," Brown told the Weekly. "That is part of the core requirement and specialization of the NAACP, and John has always exhibited that leadership quality."
Brown has not endorsed either Kennedy or Trone for Holden's seat.
Kennedy was hesitant to discuss the shooting when interviewed by the Weekly. Thomas died several years ago.
Copies of that article were also posted on electjjkennedy.com, and links to the article were posted on Kennedy's Facebook page. Those links were removed shortly after they appeared. Hard copies of the article were sent to several churches in Altadena and Pasadena, as well as to several Kennedy donors, according to the candidate's sister.
Trone, who is backed by Holden, told the Weekly on Monday that he was not behind the anti-Kennedy Web site and had no idea who posted the article.
"I am not even aware of it," Trone told the Weekly. "I received a copy of the Richmond article in the mail with no return address. I have no knowledge of the Web site. This is the first time I have heard of this."
The article has prompted the Kennedy campaign to respond with a counter mass mailing to 3,200 District 3 residents.
"An anonymous campaign mailer, with no return address, but with first-class postage, is the latest effort in a not-so-subtle smear campaign against me," Kennedy wrote in the rebuttal. Just as he declined to address questions regarding the shooting with the Weekly, Kennedy also declined to address the issue in his mailer.
"Several decades ago, I was accused — accused, nothing else — of wrongdoing. I put my faith in our justice system, and I was completely acquitted. Nevertheless, my opponent keeps misleading voters — you — with scurrilous rumor and innuendo."
Kennedy's mailer also contains a picture of Trone taken by the Weekly — and used without the paper's permission — with the words "Shame on you" stamped across the front and the word "campaigning" misspelled. The Weekly has not yet endorsed a candidate in the race.
"I am running to represent you at City Hall, to continue my family's proud and enduring legacy of service to our country and community," Kennedy wrote. "I do not — and will not — engage in smear campaigns but, equally, I will not deny any part of my past — because I have nothing to be ashamed of or hide."

The Ben Bolt Lady Badgers captured first place in the finals on Saturday with a win over McMullen County in the tournament finale.
The host Pettus squad earned third place with a decisive victory over the S-T girls.
The Lady Cats defeated Runge and Prairie Lea in two games and split with eventual champ Ben Bolt in pool play on Thursday.
In Saturday's bracket play, the S-T girls defeated Nordheim 25-14 and 25-19 before running into Ben Bolt again. The Lady Cats took set one, 25-21, but the Badger girls won the final two, 25-20 and 25-12.
The final match of the day for both Pettus and Skidmore-Tynan had the two Bee County schools battling each other for third place. The home court Lady Eagles swept the S-T girls, 25-11 and 25-15, to earn the third place spot in the tournament.
Pettus placed two players on the all-tourney team with Madi Garza and Tristian Moore earning the honors for their play in the two-day event. The Lady Cats added two team members as Amy Berthold and Haley Scott were selected to the all-tourney team. Berthold led the Lady Cats with 19 kills and seven aces for the tournament. Scott set for a team-high 17 assists.
"I was real happy with the way we played on Thursday. We played as a team and had a lot of good things happen," said S-T head coach Tim Stowe.
The play on the weekend was not quite as well received by the S-T coach.
"On Saturday, it was a disappointment to everyone when we came out so flat. We have a lot of work to do, but I believe our team is going to get over the hump," said Stowe.
"I'm very happy with the attitude our team has, and I know they will show great resolve as we practice this week. Each day we will get better, and that's exciting."
Pettus and Skidmore-Tynan locked up again on Tuesday for a rematch of the tournament's third place contest. But this time the match will be on the Lady Cats' floor.
On Friday, the Lady Eagles host Karnes City at 10:30 a.m. The Lady Cats will not be back on the court until Aug. 27 when they host Three Rivers. The first serve is set for 5 p.m. A full slate of freshman, junior varsity and varsity matches will be on tap.
