Hi - I'm nursing my 2-week-old and both nipples are very red/sore with cracks, one side has a bleeding crack. MD diagnosed yeast (both baby and I are being treated) and, after seeing a spot of pus on the bleeding crack, mastitis (I'm being treated). I have very large floppy breasts (L cup) with flat/inverted nipples. I'm using a "modified sandwich" squash to get as much aerola into his mouth as possible, and use my thumb to guide the breast into his mouth (then remove it quickly) since there's not enough nipple for him to "catch". The problem is that he's still sucking out a "high side" on both nipples - when I take it out of his mouth, the nipple is misshapen with a higher top side and white ridge that goes away after a minute. I can't find a way to get more of the bottom of the nipple into his mouth.
I met with a lactation consultant, who suggested a couple minor adjustments to the latch but otherwise said it was OK. baby is gaining weight well and nurses for 20-40 minutes at a session, but there is a lot of pain whenever he eats (and for a couple hrs afterwards, which I'm told is from the yeast and should resolve... but hasn't)
Any suggestions for a better latch, or ways to get more of the bottom side of the nipple into his mouth? Or, any suggestions for healing the nipples? i'm currently coating them with bactoban/hydrocortisone/lotrimen at the advise of the lac. cons. after each feed.

"I know what women want. They want to be beautiful." Valentino Garavani
I just, yes literally just now, have decided to become a handbag designer. To be honest, it doesn´t seem like much skill or creativity are needed for this career. Any small eleven year old Martha Stewart can do it, that means, I am almost qualified!!! Yeah me!!!
Spring is strange, one minute it´s like Summer, the next, early Winter, this can be very confusing on your body and most importantly, your wardrobe. Problem solved though, don't just shove your cutout dresses to the back of your closet the moment the temps suddenly dropo and get a bit too cold to wear them. Slip a slim-fit shirt underneath — et voilà — it's now a dress for all seasons.
It´s almost Spring but it still feels like Winter at nights, so though we fully intend to throw away the hideous big coats, we still need warm fingers and elbows. My best friend (in my head) Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) knows how to stay warm from head to toe.

When I saw this style in the Rag & Bone show during New York Fashion Week, I literally heard my childhood calling. And, suprisingly it made perfect sense. When every little layer helps, wear a pair of bike shorts on top of sheer brown tights (and under a skirt, too, obviously) for an '80s peekaboo effect.
I admit it, I feel like I am a rad mix and bad girl meet breakfast at Tiffany´s type of girl. For want of a better word, fashion promiscuous. What better way to satisfy both sides of me than to half tuck! If you're wearing a collared shirt, leave one crisp end of it untucked to peek out between your sweater and skirt. Instant cool factor, promised!
I was really thin growing up, like almost unhealthy thin. I was a picky eater, and almost every new piece of clothing had to be drastically altered to fit my small frame. After moving to Germany that quickly changed… unfortunately. However, due to excercise and healthy eating, I have started to lose weight…. and just in time for Spring. So this trend comes at the perfect moment for me. For outfits, even evening gowns that are a touch too big, try cinching it with a body harness like the ones Zana Bayne made for Prabal Gurung from New York Fashion Week.

A 19-year-old college student wanted in the Boston Marathon bombings was taken into custody Friday evening in Watertown, Mass.
Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is in serious condition at a Boston hospital.
Tsarnaev's brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan, was killed early Friday morning in a furious attempt to escape police.
Davis said they received a call from a man Friday night that he noticed blood on a boat in his back yard at 67 Franklin St. in Watertown. The man told authorities when he lifted up the tarp of the boat, he saw Tsarnaev inside. The man immediately called authorities.
Davis said gunshots were exchanged with Tsarnaev, but he is not sure if he was hit with any bullets. He said the blood he was covered in was most likely from wounds he suffered last night.
"We are eternally grateful for the outcome tonight," said Massachusetts State Police Col. Timothy Alben at a news conference Friday night.
"It's a night we are all going to rest easy," said Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.
LIVE WIRE -- Get live updates on the latest from Boston
The stay-at-home ban was lifted Friday afternoon and MBTA trains were put back in service.
Police said the Tsarnaev brothers were involved in the fatal shooting of an MIT police officer on Thursday evening. The officer was identified as Sean Collier, 26.
The brothers also carjacked a vehicle. The vehicle's owner was released unharmed and told police the men told him they were the Boston Marathon bombers.
During the pursuit to Watertown, grenades and other explosives were thrown from the car by the suspects and gunfire was exchanged in the area of Dexter and Laurel streets.
"A bomb went off with a huge cloud of smoke, with another bomb and then it was even more chaos on the corner where they kept firing. And there was a black Mercedes SUV that stormed through the corner and hit a police cruiser. And right after that occurred, I saw a police officer, he had his foot on the dead suspect with the gun pointed at him," said Mike Julakis, who lives on Dexter Avenue in Watertown.
Police were looking for a 1999 green Honda sedan, but now say they have found the car and it is being analyzed.
Who are the suspects?
The Associated Press reported that the brothers were from a region of Russia near Chechnya, and had lived in the United States for an extended period of time.
In a news conference in Maryland, Ruslan Tsarni, the uncle of the brothers, asked his nephew to turn himself in.
"I never, ever would imagine that the children of my brother would be associated with that (the bombing)," Tsarni said.
During the pursuit, a 33-year-old MBTA Police officer was shot and taken to Mount Auburn Hospital in critical condition.
"I can confirm that a Transit Police officer was wounded. He is being treated at this hour at a local hospital," said spokesman Joe Pesaturo. The officer has been on the force for three years and is married with a 6-month-old child.
The Red Sox and Bruins postponed their games Friday evening because of the events taking place on Friday.
A Florida businessman took a photo of the chaos developing after the bombings on Monday.
Little did David Green know at the time that he captured one of the two suspects leaving the scene of the crime.
It wasn't until Thursday, when officials released surveillance video of the two suspects, that he realized he had Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, distinctive in his backward white baseball cap, walking away from the scene.
Green said that looking at the photo now, he is struck by two things: Tsarnaev isn't carrying the backpack the surveillance videos show him with before the bombings, and he is acting very differently from everyone around him.

MHS class of 1962 alumni conquer Appalachian Trail
Start with a dozen seniors in their late 60s or early 70s, 17 miles of trail out of a possible 2,180 and beautiful scenery.
Oh, and don't forget one defiant timber rattlesnake.
During the Marietta High School Class of 1962's 50th class reunion in September, several alumni were sitting around a table reminiscing, when the conversation turned to bucket lists. The lists are of items a person wants to accomplish during his or her lifetime.
Class member Tim Cooper, of Thornville, mentioned he would like to hike at least a part of the Appalachian Trail.
An avid hiker, Cooper, 69, said he already had hiked in the Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone National Park (Idaho, Montana and Wyoming), Mount Rainier (Washington state) and the Great Chicago Basin (Colorado).
Soon after, Cooper checked with his doctor because he had open heart surgery in 2009 to have an aortic valve replaced because of heart murmur since childhood. Copper got the OK, he said.
Quickly, the planning began, and five more couples had signed on to make the journey: Nancy and Bill Hathaway, Anne and Randy Bules, Beth and Emerson Shimp, Laurie and Joe Lukens and Bonnie and Dick Miller.
"It was on my bucket list," said Emerson Shimp, 69, of 607 Washington St., who made the trip with his wife, Beth. "It was something we wanted to try."
Everyone except the Lukens met May 20 in Luray, Va., to start that section of the hike in the Thornton Gap area, about 10 miles from Luray. The Lukens had to travel to Indiana for a funeral, and they didn't join the rest of the group until the last day -May 23.
"How many people in their right mind would drive 18 hours to walk four miles on the last day?" said Joe Lukens, 69, of 122 Meadow Lane.
Leading up to the journey, the hikers in Marietta started walking extra miles wherever possible, taking advantage of the hills of Colegate Drive, the trails of the Broughton Nature and Wildlife Education Area off Ohio 821 and the Wayne National Forest.
"You never know how fit you are until you try it," Bil Hathaway said.
According to the group's itinerary, the drop-off point was at the Skyline Drive entrance at Thornton Gap, east of Luray, Va. The hikers continued on to Byrd Nest Hunt No. 3, the Pinnacle and the Jewell Hollow Overlook, finally arriving at Stony Man Mountain for the first overnight stop. Day 2 included Pollack Knob, a view of Hawksbille Mountain and Ida Valley, Crescent Rock Parking Overlook, Salamander Trail to Franklin Cliffs Overlook and David Spring. On the third and final day, with a view of the Alleghenies in the distance, the hikers were able to see the Allegheny Mountains, Hazeltop Ridge and Bootens Gap.
The most difficult part of the group's section of the trail came on the first day.
That first leg -12 miles-went from 2,200 feet to 3,800 feet within two miles, giving the hikers a challenging steep climb on Day 1.
"Several found it strenuous," said trip leader Tim Cooper. "We all felt the pain."
Hiker Nancy Hathaway, 70, said most of them inched their way to the top. They would rest on a rock for five minutes, then walk some 200 feet, repeating that process until they reached the summit. Some had a difficult time on that slope, she said.
Nancy said she would have preferred to do it the opposite way and take on the section of trail going downhill.
Ann Bules, 68, of Atlanta, made the hike, while her husband, Randy, 68, helped man the sag wagon, which, Bill Hathaway said, is an escort vehicle for hikers or bikers to help deal with injuries, supplies or other issues.
"That section of the trail itself was very rocky," Ann Bules said. "I had to keep my eyes toward the ground the entire time. It was very warm. The first day was 90 degrees. Just keeping your footing was difficult. I had two walking sticks, and the heat was bothersome. By the third day, the trail was smoother, and it was cooler by that time."
Bules said she most remembered the incredible views she was able to experience along the trail and how proud of herself she was for completing the trip.
At one point in the hike, Dick Miller, 70, of Marietta, said he met up with a timber rattlesnake sunning itself in the middle of the trail.
"It wasn't in any hurry to get off the trail," he said. "That really got the heart started. It was pretty good size."
Others in the group laughed about the episode and said the reptile apparently already had eaten because of the bulge in its middle section. Finally, it moved away so the hikers felt more comfortable leaving the venomous snake behind.
Despite the heat, physical demands and the snake, the whole group said they enjoyed reconnecting with old friends and at least attempting something they weren't sure they could accomplish.
For Lori Lukens, 69, it was the joking and harassing each other that made the trip more enjoyable.
"Everyone kept the good spirits going," she said.

Vt. says time for addicts to quit smoking, too
MONTPELIER Cigarettes and alcohol addiction are so strongly linked theres a running joke among those trying to quit, said T.K. Blanchard, whos been sober for a year and smoke-free for eight months.
The joke is that when you see a lot of people smoking outside a church, you know where the (Alcoholics Anonymous) meeting is, the Montpelier 24-year-old said.
Now the state Department of Health wants to put into place a tobacco-free policy at state-funded addiction treatment centers. Its a policy that dozens of other states have already adopted. Vermont plans to put the policy into place July 1.
Barbara Cimaglio, deputy health commissioner in charge of Vermonts alcohol and drug abuse prevention program, said the department can set the policy because it licenses the facilities and because the states Medicaid program provides about 70 percent of the centers funding.
She said tobacco is one of the biggest burdens of the population of people with addiction or mental illness. And people say, Oh, gosh, this poor guy is giving up alcohol and drugs you expect him to give up cigarettes, too? Yet we know from a health perspective, this is the thing to do.
At Another Way, a peer-support center where recovering addicts and former psychiatric patients gather, people getting ready for a meeting Tuesday offered a range of perspectives.
Blanchard was among them. He said he spent 50 days at a residential treatment center, Valley Vista in Bradford, last year and wasnt ready during his stay there to give up tobacco. That was the last thing I had. ... It was a comfort, he said.
But four months into sobriety after leaving the center, he quit cigarettes, too. The techniques I had learned for staying sober from drugs and alcohol made me ready when I decided to quit smoking, he said.
Others were skeptical the new policy can work.
Thats going to be a rough one, said Ed Woods, 50. AA, cigarettes, coffee they kind of go hand in hand.
At the Brattleboro Retreat, a private psychiatric hospital that takes some of its patients under contract with the state, Kurt White, director of ambulatory services, said tobacco use was vastly more prevalent among people with substance abuse and mental health problems than among the general population. He said the Retreat has had a smoke-free campus for several years but will offer nicotine patches to inpatients who arrive with a cigarette habit.
Theres a growing body of evidence that people do better with both their addictions and smoking cessation if they quit everything at once, White said. Often there are paired associations, he said. That drink of alcohol might have gone with a cigarette. The cigarette might have been a cue to drink.
Cimaglio cited hospitals and newsrooms as among the places where smoking once was part of the culture but no longer is.
This is sort of the last place where we havent changed the culture, she said of mental health and substance abuse programs. And theres really no reason we shouldnt do better.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

God created both us and our world in such a way that there is a certain fit or match between the world and our cognitive faculties. This is the adequation of the intellect to reality (adequation intellectus ad rem). The main premise to adequation intellectus ad rem is that there is an onto-relationship between our cognitive or intellectual faculties and reality that enables us to know something about the world, God, and ourselves.[1] This immanent rationality inherent to reality is not God, but it does cry aloud for God if only because the immanent rationality in nature does not provide us with any explanation of itself.[2]
In reality all entities are ontologically connected or interrelated in the field in which they are found. If this is true then the relation is the most significant thing to know regarding an object. Thus, to know entities as they actually are is to know what they are in their relation "webs". Thomas Torrance termed this as onto-relations, which points more to the entity or reality, as it is what it is as a result of its constitutive relations.[3]
The methodology of the epistemological realist concerns propositions of which are a posteriori, or "thinking after," the objective disclosure of reality. Thus, epistemology follows from ontology. False thinking or methodology (particularly in scientific knowledge) has brought about a failure to recognize the intelligibility actually present in nature and the kinship in the human knowing capacity to the objective rationality to be known.[4]
Lorenzo Valla (1406-1457) developed the interrogative (interrogatio) rather than the problematic (quaestio) form of inquiry. Valla's mode of inquiry was one in which questions yield results that are entirely new, giving rise to knowledge that cannot be derived by an inferential process from what was already known. This method was similar to the works of Stoic lawyers and educators like Cicero and Quintilian; that is, questioning witnesses, investigating documents and states of affairs without any prior conception of what the truth might be. Valla transitioned from not only using this method for historical knowledge but also applied it as "logic for scientific discovery."[5]
Valla's logic for discovery was the art of finding out things rather than merely the art of drawing distinctions and connecting them together. He called for an active inquiry (activa inquisitio). John Calvin (1509-1564) applied this method to the interpretation of Scripture and thus became the father of modern biblical exegesis and interpretation.[6] Francis Bacon (1561-1626) applied it to the interpretation of the books of nature, as well as to the books of God, and became the father of modern empirical science.[7]
This methodology created a split between subject and object, knowing and being, and gave rise to phenomenalism. Newton claimed that he invented no hypotheses but deduced them from observations produced by rationalistic positivism, which engulfed contemporary European thought. This split's gulf was widened by David Hume's (1711-1776) criticism of causality and inference, depriving knowledge of any valid foundation in necessary connections obtaining between actual events and of leaving it with nothing more reliable than habits of mind rooted in association.[8] Hume weighed heavy in Immanuel Kant's (1724-1804) philosophical development. Given the Newtonian understanding of space and time, Kant transferred absolute space and time from the divine sensorium to the mind of man (the transfer of the inertial system), thus intellect does not draw its laws out of nature but imposes its laws upon nature. According to Kant one cannot know the Ding an Sich (thing itself) by pure reason; one is therefore limited to the sensual and shaping mental categories of the mind. That which comes through sensation, the intuitions, are shaped by the mind's a priori categories. It is in this sense that Kant played an essential part in the development of the idea that man is himself the creator of the scientific world.
Throughout Albert Einstein's work, the mechanistic universe proved unsatisfactory. This was made evident after the discovery of the electromagnetic field and the failure of Newtonian physics to account for it in mechanistic concepts. Then came the discovery of four-dimensional geometry and with it the realization that the geometrical structures of Newtonian physics could not be detached from changes in space and time with which field theory operated. Einstein stepped back into stride with Newton and his cognitive instrument of free invention. It was free in the sense that conclusions were not reached under logical control from fixed premises, and it was invented under the pressure of the nature of the universe upon the intuitive apprehension of it. Einstein used Newton and Maxwell's partial differential equations in field theory to develop a mode of rationality called mathematical invariance. Mathematical invariance established a genuine ontology in which the subject grips with objective structures and intrinsic intelligibility of the universe.[9]
This also meant a rejection of Kant's synthetic a priori whereby knowledge of the phenomenal world is said to be reduced to an "order" without actual penetration into the Ding an Sich.[10] Einstein's categories are not some form of Kantian a priori but conceptions that are freely invented and are to be judged by their usefulness, their ability to advance the intelligibility of the world, which is dependent on the observer. As he sees it, the difference between his own thinking and Kant's is on just this point: Einstein understands the categories as free inventions rather than as unalterable (conditioned by the nature of the understanding).[11] It is by this method that one can penetrate the inner rationality of the reality by discovery, imagination, and insight in order to construct forms of thought and knowledge through which the rationality of the object may be discerned.[12] Einstein's free invention is quite synonymous with discovery in the sense that the consequent conclusion (knowledge) is not inferred or entailed from a fixed categorical antecedent (i.e. Kant).
Principles of method are closely related to empirical observations. As Einstein put it, "the scientist has to worm these general principles out of nature by perceiving in comprehensive complexes of empirical facts certain general features which permit of precise formulation."[13] These principles, not "isolated general laws abstracted from experience" or "separate results from empirical research," provide the basis of deductive reasoning.[14]

There's a first for everything, and recently I encountered one of my firsts—the first apartment (as an "adult"). I moved from my family's home to a two- bedroom apartment on Main Street in Narrowsburg with my boyfriend. We were excited to have our own space and be able to fill it with whatever we wanted. And thus the decorating process began.
Being a young professional (or "yo pro" as it's called), and not having the bank account of a seasoned worker, money was the main factor in choosing our furniture, dishes and everything else. With limited funds, we first looked for free items. Luckily, we were met with generous donations from friends, family and co-workers. Our other options were thrift stores and looking into our families' storage. We scoured Tim's family's barn and found old tables, chairs and other odd heirlooms, like a World War II era first-aid kit and an original Burroughs adding machine. We went through my dad's shop that housed all kinds of treasures from my grandpa's old house—furniture, dish sets, lamps and more—and picked out things my mom didn't want to sell.
Then, we made a trip to Honesdale to check out the Salvation Army and our friends' thrift store A Picker's Find. At Salvation Army we bought a $10 coffee table and $25 couch. Score! At A Picker's Find we picked up some old cooking utensils and plates.
In the depths of the store I was happy to find two paintings of ballet dancers in cool Victorian looking picture frames. (Perhaps I should say that I have been a life-long ballet student.) This began our "art collection" and I jokingly added a portrait of Patrick Swayze to it that I found at a yard sale in Port Jervis for $1. (The owner was sad to see it go, but said she must part with it after his death). There was a town-wide yard sale going on that day that my brother and I checked out, calling it "yard sailing." I also found a microwave for $5 that looks like it belongs on a space ship, and some giant mugs.
Then came the free stuff. Eileen from the office gave me a coffee pot (after a few groggy mornings sans coffee), a crock pot and a tub-full of kitchenware from her friend. Another co-worker, Jane, gave me a colorful mat that we put by our front door to put shoes on. My boyfriend's mom took us shopping at Bed, Bath and Beyond to decorate our bathroom, and I picked out a cool silver and white shower curtain with a matching bath mat, as well as a stainless steel garbage can and toothbrush holder.
She also generously gave us window curtains, in a whimsical shimmery blue color for the bedroom. Our neighbor gave us a small round wicker table and two chairs for our kitchen, and an air conditioner.
After keeping our clothes in suitcases for way too long, we took the dresser from my old room, and one from my parents. However, it wasn't enough to hold my overflowing wardrobe, so I took a trunk that I used for storage to use as a makeshift dresser. The extra bedroom is the music room and there is also a piano in the living room. (It came with the apartment.)
However, all of these things came at different times. When we first moved in, we had a bed and the couch. And it was enough. It was an interesting feeling, to live somewhere that doesn't feel like home yet, that would take getting used to. It made me question, what makes a home? Is it what you put in it? Or who is in it? As the Edward Sharpe song goes, "Home is whenever I'm with you." And though we didn't have many things, we had each other.
We spent the first night filling the fridge with the only thing we had, apple juice, and making grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner, and then sitting in silence to take it all in.
Tips for thrifty decorating
Moving is the perfect opportunity to go through your things and sort out what you really want, and get rid of things you don't. Moving into a new place gives you a clean slate, so go in with few possessions and an open mind.
Look through your storage or family and friends' storage to find things they don't use anymore. Also, make a list of what you need and ask them if they have anything lying around. You'll find that they'll be happy to help (and to get rid of things).
Thrift stores, pawn shops, yard sales, Craigslist, EBay and other websites are great resources. There are even Facebook groups like Sullivan Swap and Wayne County PA Totally Free Stuff where users post photos of items they are selling or giving away and you arrange to meet them to pick it up. Also, when clearing out your own things, remember to donate them, give them away or sell.

The series opens on Sunday, February 9 at 2 p.m., with jazz artists Steve Carlin (guitar) and Sam Morrison (saxophone and flute).
Composer/guitarist Carlin writes passionate compositions, melodies and rhythmic pulses that showcase his world music influences playing both electric and acoustic guitars. Carlin has played with groups ranging from 17-piece orchestras to duos and has performed and recorded as a soloist. He was also the host and producer of "Rhythm Changes" on WJFF and a frequent guest on "Live from Studio B."
Morrison is a jazz saxophone and flute player/composer whose credits include being a member of the Miles Davis Band. He has played with many legendary jazz greats like Gil Evans, Buster Williams, Woody Shaw and Billy Hart, and he is currently playing with Michael Henderson's Electric Miles Band, with performances scheduled in London, England and Milan, Italy, and in New York City at CCNY and The Cutting Room. His latest solo release is titled "Dark Matter."
The first Salon: Artist Talk in the series will be held on Saturday, February 22 at 1 p.m. and will feature Helena Clare Pittman, whose work will concurrently be on exhibit in the Alliance Gallery. The artist talk is free.
Salon events continue on Sunday, March 23 at 2 p.m. with the quartet Jazzmosis playing jazz/rock fusion; on Sunday, March 30 with Tara Kelly (clarinet) and Timothy Farrand (piano) playing works by Finzi, Gershwin, Bach and Chopin; and Sunday, April 6 with the reading of Bill Donnelly's new play, "Silverstein."
Salon events cost $10. The February 22 artist talk is free. For information and reservations, call 845/252-7576 or visit www.artsalliancesite.org.

It has not been proven how Healing Touch [2] works. The theory is that all living beings, including humans, are energy systems, and that an individual's energy field is in constant interplay with the surrounding environment.
One nurse theorist, Martha Rogers, believed that the most concentrated part of a being's energy field is the physical body, but that the field also extends beyond the skin, even though it is imperceptible to most people. Living things are continually exchanging energy with each other and, according to Rogers, working toward a universal order.
According to Rogers and other theorists, because an individual's energy field extends beyond the skin, the Healing Touch practitioner can interact with the field. With the use of Healing Touch techniques, the practitioner can reorder the client's energy flow patterns and remove blocks to the flow of vital energy. This allows the client to absorb more energy from the universe, which helps healing to occur.
This has not been observed or measured. However, it is interesting to note that a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) can measure biomagnetic fields emanating from human hands, so this may provide a way to research Healing Touch in the future.
Another way that Healing Touch may help patients is simply the caring relationship between the practitioner and client. It may be that the sense of a loving presence and the reduction of social isolation [3] reduces stress [4] and increases general wellbeing [5]. The therapy may also promote a relaxation response, which shows up as a drop in blood pressure and heart and respiratory rate, along with a reduction in the production of stress hormones, all of which can contribute to a sense of wellbeing.
Theories emerging in quantum physics related to non-local consciousness and its effect on the healing process may apply to the Healing Touch practitioners' work with clients.
For more detailed information on subtle energies and consciousness research, refer to The Institute of Noetic Sciences [6] and the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine [7].

It happened to me several times to encounter a tedious bug on my iPhone.
Suddenly, with no apparent reason, every non native application crashes immediately after the launch. A reboot in this case doesn't help. The native applications (mail, safari, settings, etc) simply work fine.
I've just realized that an update of ANY existing application or the installation of ANY new application via the Apple store brings the device back into a normal state and all applications behave normally again.
Obviously this is just an ugly workaround, but it seems to work very effectively. See if it helps.

Computing school celebrates first summer exchange
Posted on August 28, 2013
A group of computing students from Grand Valley and a university in Switzerland studied at each other's campuses this summer during a four-week exchange program.
From June 30-July 14, several students from Grand Valley's School of Computing and Information Systems (CIS) studied at Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (ZHAW), or Zurich University of Applied Sciences, and 10 students from ZHAW studied at Grand Valley.
"The students went through a course on each campus that normally takes 15 weeks, so it was quite intensive," said Paul Leidig, director of CIS. This is the first international summer exchange for the school that is part of the Seymour and Esther Padnos College of Engineering and Computing.
Leidig said each university specializes in a trending area of computing, which is how the partnership began. "Our students studied cloud computing at ZHAW and the group from Switzerland studied one of our specialties, mobile application development," he said. "It is a great fit for both of us."
In Switzerland, Grand Valley students found time to sightsee and enjoy the country's culture. They hiked through the Alps and visited former military bunkers that now serve as secure cloud-based data centers. "At ZHAW, our students even got to study in the same engineering building Einstein first taught in," Leidig said.
While in Michigan, ZHAW students traveled along the coast of Lake Michigan, and visited the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Mackinac Island and Chicago.
Roland Heusser, from the northern Swiss town Eschlikon, is studying computer science with a focus on application development at Grand Valley through the fall semester. He participated in the summer exchange program and said Grand Valley's campus is considerably different from ZHAW's campus.
"My first impression was that everything is located in one place, the stadium, the rec center, the library," he said. "In Winterthur — the ZHAW campus where I study — our campus is spread across the city."
Leidig said he hopes the exchange program will take place annually for computing majors. "It's a great opportunity for our students to study in a global environment and learn about the latest, global computing topics," he said.
Grand Valley's School of Engineering is also a partner with ZHAW and encompasses faculty and staff exchanges. Two professors from ZHAW have completed sabbaticals at Grand Valley and biomedical engineering professor Samhita Rhodes will spend a sabbatical semester at the university.

has anyone had any experience with the Clear Scoliosis Institute in New York? Please respond with any thoughts you have on the subject.
has anyone had any experience with the Clear Scoliosis Institute in New York? Please respond with any thoughts you have on the subject.
hi jnt,
i believe Clear is a programme of chiropractic treatment, rather than a medical scoliosis treatment practice, so if you were looking into attending, i would advise remaining under the care of a scoliosis specialist doctor at the same time, so that they could monitor things. my personal stance is that chiropractic treatments will not fully correct a scoliosis, as it's a structural condition and these treatments are, sadly, not aggressive enough (i wish a less-aggressive treatment had a permanent effect, but unfortunately for larger and progressing curves, surgery is currently the only effective option), and require lifelong dedication to maintain any correction achieved.
these sorts of treatments can help with pain management for some patients though, it just depends what you're looking for and what would be best in your case. i certainly think to travel from ireland and have treatment would be very costly, so i would thoroughly research whether this is right for you prior to attending.
Diagnosed in March 2001 by family GP after my mum noticed an asymmetry in my spine. Referred to a consultant at the RNOH, Stanmore and started attending consultations for x-rays twice a year. Prescribed a TLSO brace to be worn 16 hours per day. Began with double major curves at approx 48 degrees. Offered surgery in 2003 aged 16 and declined to continue with school. Requested surgery in 2005 instead. Had T11-L3 fused on 16th July 2005 and haven't looked back! Released for all activities in March 2006, having been driving and riding horses with consultant's permission since 7 weeks post op.
I have no direct experience of the treatments the Clear Institute provides, but I have always felt uncomfortable about the way they have always seemed to focus upon the negatives of surgery rather than promoting how and why their treatment is effective. And as Becky says, Chiropractors are not MDs, however skilled they feel they are - here in the UK they would not be allowed to use the title of Dr in a medical context.
I recommend that you do a lot of research before paying out a great deal of money for something that is - I think - as yet an unproven treatment. Maybe the Clear Institute has published articles in peer reviewed medical journals (not just chiro ones) recently, I dont know.
[SIZE="1"]37 years old, diagnosed with infantile idiopathic scoliosis at 6 months old with curves of 62(T) and 40(L) degrees. Casting and Milwaukee braces until surgery at 10 - ant release/pos fusion T1-T12, halo traction. Post op cast and then TLSO. Further surgery at 18 (ant release/pos fusion extended to L3 to include lumbar curve, costoplasty) and 25 (another costoplasty). Fusion extended to L4 at 33 (XLIF with 4 pedicle screws and two short rods). Pre-op curves: 76(T) and 70(L). Post-op curves: 45(T) and 35(L). Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome aged 34; scoliosis almost certainly due to this rather than being idiopathic.[/SIZE]

The Associated Press
CANNON AIR FORCE BASE — Medical personnel from Cannon Air Force Base's 27th Special Medical Group and 27th Special Operations Support Squadron deployed Sunday to help with earthquake relief efforts in Haiti.
Sunday's deployment from the eastern New Mexico base is in addition to two MC-130W Combat Spear aircraft Cannon sent Wednesday from its 73rd Special Operations Squadron.
Those aircraft have been delivering personnel, medical supplies, food, water and fuel to support the international aid efforts in Haiti.
Nobody knows how many died in Tuesday's quake. Haiti's government has already recovered 20,000 bodies — not counting those recovered by independent agencies or relatives themselves, Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive told The Associated Press.

Curls and dimples: Shirley Temple dies at 85ap file photo
In this June 24, 1938, photo, young actress Shirley Temple plugs her ears as her father shoots a federal agents gun, while Federal Bureau of Investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover gives her a tour of FBI headquarters in Washington.
Any kid who ever tap-danced at a talent show or put on a curly wig and auditioned for Annie can only dream of being as beloved or as important as Shirley Temple.
Temple, who died Monday night at 85, sang, danced, sobbed and grinned her way into the hearts of Depression-era moviegoers and remains the ultimate child star decades later. Other pre-teens, from Macaulay Culkin to Miley Cyrus, have been as famous in their time. But none of them helped shape their time the way she did.
Dimpled, precocious and adorable, she was Americas top box office star during Hollywoods golden age and such an enduring symbol of innocence that kids still know the drink named for her: a sweet, nonalcoholic cocktail of ginger ale and grenadine, topped with a maraschino cherry.
Her hits which included Bright Eyes (1934), Curly Top (1935), Dimples (1936) and Heidi (1937) featured sentimental themes and musical subplots, with stories of resilience that a struggling American public strongly identified with.
Her early life was free of the scandals that have plagued Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan and so many other child stars parental feuds, drug and alcohol addiction but Temple suggested that in some ways she grew up too soon.
She stopped believing in Santa Claus at age 6, she once said, when Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.
For millions, she was much more than an entertainer; she was a tribute to the economic and inspirational power of movies. She was credited with helping to save 20th Century Fox from bankruptcy and was praised by everyone from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to ordinary fans as a bright spirit during a gloomy time.
She was just absolutely marvelous, greatest in the world, director Allan Dwan told filmmaker-author Peter Bogdanovich in his book Who the Devil Made It: Conversations With Legendary Film Directors.
With Shirley, youd just tell her once and shed remember the rest of her life, said Dwan, who directed her in Heidi and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Whatever it was she was supposed to do shed do it. ... And if one of the actors got stuck, shed tell him what his line was she knew it better than he did.
In 1999, the American Film Institute ranking of the greatest screen legends put Temple at No. 18 among the 25 actresses.
Her achievements did not end with movies. Retired from acting at 21, she went on to hold several diplomatic posts in Republican administrations, including ambassador to Czechoslovakia during the sudden collapse of communism in 1989.
Temple, known in private life as Shirley Temple Black, died at her home near San Francisco, surrounded by family members and caregivers, publicist Cheryl Kagan said. The cause of death was not disclosed.
She appeared in scores of movies and kept children singing On the Good Ship Lollipop for generations. From 1935 to 1938, she was the most popular screen actress in the country and was a bigger draw than Clark Gable, Joan Crawford or Gary Cooper.
I have one piece of advice for those of you who want to receive the lifetime achievement award: Start early, she quipped in 2006 as she was honored by the Screen Actors Guild.
But she also said that evening that her greatest roles were as wife, mother and grandmother: Theres nothing like real love. Nothing. Her husband of more than 50 years, Charles Black, had died a few months earlier.
In Bright Eyes, Temple introduced the song On the Good Ship Lollipop and did battle with a charmingly bratty Jane Withers, launching Withers as another major child star.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON Did anyone see it coming, the apparent new rapport between President Barack Obama...

Whether your kid is a seasoned camper or is embarking on their first summer away from home, these tips we've gathered from camp counselors and directors across the country will help ensure that your child has a summer they'll remember forever.
Stay In Touch…2 of 14
…but not too much. You certainly don't want to drop off your kids at camp and not speak again until you pick them up, but too much contact can hamper their experience. "In general, the less children speak to their parents, the less homesick they are," says Driben. If your daughter is a little anxious about being away after you drop her off, then wait a week or so before you call her so that she has a chance to settle in and make friends, which, according to Driben, usually takes three to five days.
We Really Care3 of 14
According to Mary,* who was a counselor at a sleep-away camp in northeastern Pennsylvania for four years, staff members "want to give your kids the same amazing experience we had when we were campers, so we aren't going to do anything to jeopardize that." [*Name has been changed.]

You Can Relax4 of 14
It can be nerve-wracking to leave your child in the care of people you hardly know. But rest assured: The vast majority of counselors take their jobs seriously. "We train our staff on everything from how to manage a group of kids to how to teach effectively and how to perform first aid," says Sarah Horner Fish, director at Tom Sawyer Camps in Pasadena, CA.
ON WOMAN'S DAY: What Your Babysitter Won't Say
Camp Is Important5 of 14
Any counselor will tell you that camp is about so much more than doing a few craft projects or playing field games. "There may not be a blackboard and a bunch of desks, but it's really a continuation of the education process," says Jack Driben, co-managing director of The Camp Experts & Teen Summers. As Sarah puts it, camp picks up where many schools leave off. "Teachers don't often have the opportunity to explain how to handle conflicts or deal with hurt feelings. At summer camp, you really get to focus on social skills."
Don't Be Sneaky6 of 14
Cell phones are banned at almost every camp, and are collected from kids as soon as they arrive, says Joanne Paltrowitz, co-managing director of The Camp Experts & Teen Summers. "Some parents give their child a second cell phone, but it's not worth it. There's hardly any cell service where most camps are located, and it will run out of battery anyway. Don't even bother trying." However, writing letters and sending a few care packages is a great way to stay in touch without being too overbearing.
Send Care Packages7 of 14
Speaking of, most camps will not allow food to be sent in care packages, since snacks can attract pests and critters and may aggravate other campers' food allergies. According to Jenkins, crafts items, like markers, stickers and sketch pads, are always a hit, as are T-shirts or baseball caps with the camp's name on them. "Some kids are also excited to see hints of home, like newspaper clippings or a photo of their pet, but depending on how happy they are at camp, these things can make them even more homesick," she says.
Be Candid8 of 14
Camp staffers are more than happy to accommodate everything from food allergies to more serious medical conditions—as long as they're aware of them ahead of time. All camps have an onsite wellness center staffed by either a registered nurse or doctor, who administers medications. But to ensure that your child is properly cared for, call the camp's director a couple weeks before camp starts to brief him or her on what precautions need to be taken.
Stuff Gets Stolen9 of 14
A stuffed animal that your child can't bear to part with is one thing, but leave fancy jewelry, designer jeans or expensive electronics at home. "We can't keep track of these items, and when we get a call from a parent asking where they are, we just don't know," says Mary. "They could have gone home with another child, or they could be covered in mud. Just don't bring them—that solves the problem."
Teach Cleaning10 of 14
If you've been in the habit of tidying up after your son or daughter, then a little tutorial in cleaning might be in order before camp begins. "Kids need to learn how to make their bed before they get to camp," says Jenkins. But their responsibilities go beyond just bed-making: "Cabins get inspected and campers get graded on their tidiness, so everyone's going to be mad at the one kid who can't pick up after himself."
Do Your Research11 of 14
This can make all the difference when it comes to a successful summer away for your child. Check out different resources, like The Camp Experts & Teen Summers—which provides free summer camp consultations to parents and represents more than 950 camps and summer programs worldwide—and the American Camp Association—which has listings for 2,400 accredited camps across the country—to find out what possibilities are out there.
Do More Research12 of 14
Speak to camp directors about the culture before you sign up your child. Tell them if your youngster is shy, gregarious or in need of plenty of one-on-one attention in order to thrive. Also consider your kid's interests: If your child thrives in the creative arts, then six weeks at baseball camp isn't going to be a great experience for them—and might be a waste of money for you.
ON WOMAN'S DAY: What You Should Know About Camping
Camp Makes Confidence13 of 14
If your daughter tends to get bullied or left out at school, then sending her to live with a bunch of girls her age for weeks on end can seem like a questionable idea. But camp is actually a place where kids who don't fit in at school can blossom. "You can really be yourself there, and it's a lot easier to get to know people, because there's no pretending. Kids have left everything from home behind so you really see them open up," says Mary.
Start Slowly14 of 14
There's a difference between a little apprehension about going away for the summer and debilitating separation anxiety. If your son is insisting that he doesn't want to go away, then "start with day camp and then move toward sleep-away camp in small doses," says Driben. There are a variety of camp lengths to choose from, though Driben advises a minimum of two weeks so that kids aren't forced to leave the minute they finally settle in.

CITES Protected Species Travel Tips
The recent Obama Administration effort to increase restrictions on travel and trade in African Elephant ivory has placed a new focus on long-existing, but largely unimplemented permitting rules for international travel with instruments that contain endangered species material. Those rules are contained in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, otherwise known as CITES (SIGH-tees). Before embarking on the permit process, it is critical to understand as much as possible about the rules and limitations that apply to travel with permits. Following are tips for becoming familiar with these rules.
- Know what material is in your instruments. Permits are required for the most highly-protected material found in musical instruments, listed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, and certain materials listed in Appendix II. While the most common Appendix I species found in musical instruments are African elephant ivory, sea turtle shell, and Brazilian rosewood, it is important to be aware of any plant or animal material an instrument may contain. For instance, Asian elephant ivory, monitor lizard (listed in Appendix II) and whale bone may be found in certain bows. If your instrument does not contain covered material, CITES permits are not required for travel.
Bookmark this Resource Page from Fish & Wildlife specifically created for musical instruments.
See this Overview Fact Sheet on use of plants and wildlife in musical instruments.
Visit the CITES checklist – an online resource that contains CITES-listed species based on Appendix, country, or other criteria.
In addition to species protected by CITES, it is important to consider the additional rules for species protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
Instrument makers and appraisers may help with the identification process. Differentiating types of ivory can be difficult. Here is some deep background on this topic from the Fish & Wildlife Forensics Lab.
Become familiar with the CITES permit process. Applying for the proper permits takes time and should be done well in advance of travel. Until recently, countries issued only single-use permits for travel with instruments, requiring new, multiple documents for each international trip. A new streamlined process for issuing musical instrument certificates for international travel was accepted by 178 nations at a March 2013 meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). This "passport" process allows a single document to be recognized by multiple countries, good for travel for up to three years. While the new passport process was to go into effect in June 2013, each country is still determining its procedures for issuing and recognizing the new documents, and some still only issue single-use permits. Here in the U.S., a new form is now in use for issuing multi-year passports. The passport process is still in its infancy.
Important note: Musicians who do not have a primary residence in the U.S. must apply to their home country for a multi-use passport. Musicians based outside the U.S. will need to contact their country's CITES authorities to inquire about permit and passport procedures, and may need to obtain single-use permits if a multi-use permit process is not available. Foreign-based musicians should also note that CITES permits issued outside the U.S. may not comply with additional U.S. domestic rules related to protected species policies.
U.S.-Issued Multi-Use Musical Instrument Certificates:
A musical instrument certificate good for up to three years (also known as a passport) will allow musicians to meet the CITES requirements for travel through multiple countries. To qualify, a musician or group must have a primary residence in the U.S. The application fee is $75 per application. The estimated timeframe for processing an application is 60-90 days. In the case that instrumentation changes after a group certificate has been issued, amendments to group certificates are available with an added $75 fee per amendment request.
Applications for single or multiple instruments traveling as a unit (such as in cargo), containing plant and/or animal material use the form 3-200-88.
We've assembled this Sample chart showing the required instrument information needed for CITES permit applications for groups of instruments. Applicants should expand the columns in the chart as needed to include all covered species.
Note that a musical instrument may only be included in one CITES permit at a time. So, for instance, if a musician's instrument is included on a group permit, that permit must be returned to USFWS for voiding before the musician's instrument may be included on a subsequent individual or group permit.
U.S.-Issued Single-Use Permits:
Those unable to apply for the three-year passport may still make use of the single-use permit forms. This may be required, for instance, for foreign-based musicians that are not able to obtain a multi-use permit from their home country.
A single instrument containing animal material (such as ivory or sea turtle shell), or animal and plant material (such as ivory and Brazilian rosewood) uses Permit Application form 3-200-23
A single instrument containing plant material only (such as Brazilian rosewood) uses Permit Application form 3-200-32
Traveling groups with cargo that contains multiple instruments with animal and/or plant material may use a single permit, called a "traveling exhibition" permit, using Permit application form 3-200-30 (Disregard that the form says it is for "circuses and traveling animal exhibitions!")
- Consider the limited locations for exiting and entering the U.S. with CITES permits. An instrument bearing a CITES permit or passport may only travel through a very limited number of designated ports of entry and exit where U.S. Fish and Wildlife and/or Department of Agriculture officials are on hand to inspect and credential documents. Unanswered questions about the port process abound, and the policies vary from port to port. Musicians traveling with CITES permits are strongly encouraged to contact ports in advance. There are 18 U.S. ports for traveling with animal material (such as African elephant ivory or sea turtle shell) or both plant and animal material (such as African elephant ivory and Brazilian rosewood), and 15 ports for traveling exclusively with CITES plant material (such as Brazilian rosewood). While this limitation is challenging, showing a permit at a non-designated port could be highly problematic and disruptive to travel.
We have assembled this list of Designated Ports of Entry/Exit for traveling with protected species.
Declaration Form and Procedures for Wildlife Material
- Additional layers of rules may apply country by country. It is extremely important to remember that under the current and newly proposed permitting systems, each country may continue to apply additional permitting requirements for complying with additional layers of domestic endangered species rules. (For instance, here in the U.S., the Endangered Species Act and Lacey Act apply.) The U.S.-issued CITES permits or passport may not cover all foreign permitting requirements. If a permit is being used for travel, it is always advisable to contact the CITES authorities of the countries you will visit. Keep in mind that since this process is largely unimplemented, it may be difficult to quickly find the answers you seek.
Note that certain countries may allow musicians to travel without CITES permits if their instrument is hand-carried as a "personal effect." At present, exemptions from the CITES process are not available for cargo.
Always consult CITES Authorities prior to international travel.
Learn more background and stay tuned for updated information. On May 14, 2013, the League of American Orchestras, in partnership with the American Federation of Musicians, The Recording Academy, and NAMM, hosted a free, interactive webinar featuring experts from U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the agency that implements CITES in the United States. Keep in mind that the webinar was created before the recent limitations on re-entry with African elephant ivory and before the new U.S. musical instrument certificate form 3-200-88 was created. All procedures are in a state of flux. We will be updating resources as new information becomes available.Download the free, on-demand webinar with Fish & Wildlife providing an overview of current permitting rules and how to determine whether they apply to your instrument.

Appeals court: Witness to killing should testify
A state appeals court says a judge was wrong to block testimony from a woman who claims she witnessed the killing of a Milwaukee man.
The First District Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the woman, Arnetta Childress, should be allowed to testify at Alexander Wiley's trial beginning in February. Wiley is charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the 2011 death of Darrin Moore.
Childress says she was near the scene of the killing and identified Wiley as one of two men who fired shots at Moore.
But Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Richard Sankovitz wouldn't allow her testimony, saying it wasn't clear she was familiar enough with Wiley to identify him in court.
But the appeals court overturned that, saying Childress could identify Wiley because she's known him for years.

Funding and Disbursements
Special Education Personnel
Special education personnel reimbursement (Section 14-13.01 of the School Code) is intended to provide funding for school districts and special education cooperatives employing the necessary staff to serve children and youth with disabilities, ages 3-21 years old. Staff that are employed for these specialized purposes include teachers, school social workers, school nurses, school psychologists, school counselors, physical and occupational therapists, individual or classroom aides, readers, administrators, and other staff assigned to work in the area of special education. The State reimburses local school districts and special education cooperatives $9,000 per qualified worker as defined in Section 14-1.10 and $3,500 per non-certified staff employed on a full-time basis for the school year, depending on the final reimbursement level.
All special education personnel providing services in accordance with an individualized education program (IEP) are reported for approval throughout the school year. Please refer to the Special Education Personnel Approval Procedures (10/15).
Additionally, please review the Special Education Personnel Reimbursement Instructions (4/16). In order to claim reimbursement after receiving approval, districts and special education cooperatives must transmit Special Education Personnel Reimbursement by August 15 each year. The Special Education Home/Hospital Work Sheet (3/16) is utilized by each district or cooperative to record data necessary for claiming reimbursement for home or hospital instruction for pupils. A replacement file is required to be transmitted electronically in early November each year to correct any errors or add any approved personnel not submitted on the August 15 claim. Errors discovered after the early November data transmission may be amended in writing to ISBE through November 30. Corrections are not allowed after November 30. Special Education Personnel Reimbursement Calculation Sheets will be transmitted electronically to Site Administrators and to the Directors of Special Education in January of each year or when the final reimbursement level is determined. The Site Administrators are responsible for forwarding a copy to the individual districts.
Staff whose salaries are paid in part or in whole with Medicaid funds may be claimed for reimbursement. The salaries must be entered in the appropriate local funds field on Special Education Personnel Reimbursement. These employees must be approved with an ID Code of 1 or 3 through the special education personnel approval process prior to being claimed.

The program began as the Summer Discovery Program thanks to the work of DeeDee Bernal, Traci Younts, Coastal Bend College's Ann Richmond and Jeanene Jones, and St. Mary's Laura Orchard, Becky and Stan Simonson and a TEA grant.
More than 100 students, as young as rising freshmen, earned between 6-9 hours of Workforce classes during the first summer. During the second summer, those students could take any classes (workforce or academic), if they met the academic requirements. During the second summer, a new high school cohort began and the middle school ISP grant was started at Coastal Bend College with Jeanene Jones and Jayne Duryea running that program.
In that same time frame, Beeville ISD, St. Mary's and CBC developed and were awarded an Early College High School program, under the leadership of then college President Dr. Thomas Baynum and Ann Richmond. According to Becky Simonson, "the Early College High School had a lot of potential for Beeville, but there were some significant issues for a small community." In any case, the Early College High School was put on the shelf for later consideration.
When the 21st Century Grant was up for renewal, Bernal, Jones and Stan Simonson agreed to wait a year to rework the after school program before reapplying for the 21st Century Grant.
"This is where you know that God is on your side," said Younts, ACE program director. By waiting for a year, the grant application became more generous and more flexible. "We really struck a home run, bringing in over $7 million for the five-year program."
This year, Taylor Castillo graduated as the A.C. Jones valedictorian. Last year, she graduated from CBC with a 4.0 grade point with her associates degree. Taylor started college the summer of her high school freshman year with the SDA/ACE program.
Alfredo Rodriguez will graduate from CBC in August with his associates in science, at the same time he will be starting his high school senior year.
Alfredo got his start at college even younger than Taylor.
He was in the ISP middle school program before earning college credit with SDA/ACE.
Alfredo and Taylor are the exception by earning their associates a full year before graduating high school, but they are just one of many students graduating from CBC while still in high school. "I do not know the exact number, but at least 100 students have graduated college with a certificate or degree while still in high school, thanks to ACE," said Becky Simonson.
Laura Orchard said, "It was easily a hundred and probably more... this is what all the kids should be doing."
In Oklahoma, Orchard's nieces and nephews all completed junior college and high school concurrently. "It just makes sense," according to Orchard, "these kids can use their college scholarships to go on and get their advanced degrees, like kids in other states do."
Becky Simonson added, "We are completely innovative as to what is going on in Texas. Early College High Schools are primarily about serving students that will attend universities. Our program serves students irrespective of their career path."
More than 150 students applied for dual credit this summer from ACE.
Noreen Brown, at SMACS, said, "This program is the best opportunity that has ever been available to Beeville children. The most important thing is keeping this fabulous program running for years to come."

My daughter is 7 months old and we started feeding her solid food when she was 6 months old. I know that breastmilk should be the majority of her food source right now which it definitely is, but I'm just curious how much baby food she should be getting. Can anyone tell me what they're doing or what they've done with their baby? Should she be eating solid food 3 times a day? Should she be getting snacks throughout the day? Should I be giving her Cherios or some other finger food?
Also, she doesn't do as good with green beans and peas...does anyone have any suggestions for getting her to eat those foods better? Sometimes I'll mix fruit or another veggie with it but I'm concerned that she's not learning to eat her veggies if I do that. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Facebook IPO Steals Show: Tech Weekly
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Facebook's(FB) IPO came and went on Friday, amid mixed reviews.
Many were hoping for a massive pop, but shares opened trading at $42.05, after pricing at $38 per share. The offering raised more than $16 billion in the largest tech offering in U.S. history. Facebook and its existing shareholders sold 421.2 million shares in the offering.
The stock jumped up to $45 right away, then ran down to its pricing level of $38 but never went negative. Shares closed their first day of trading up 0.6% at $38.23 on 573 million shares.
Facebook also acquired e-commerce startup Karma following the close of trading on Friday.
Hedge funds filed their 13-F's this week, with a few of them cutting their exposure to technology stocks including Intel(INTC) and Apple(AAPL) .
Legendary value investor Warren Buffett cut his stake in Intel while adding some shares of IBM(IBM) during the first-quarter, his filing showed.
As of March 31, Buffett and his firm Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) held 7.745 million Intel shares, down from 11.495 million shares in the previous filing. Buffett added approximately 489,000 shares of IBM during the quarter.
> > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll
Apple was a mixed topic this week, with both George Soros and Renaissance Technologies paring their stakes in the Cupertino, Calif.-based technology giant, while David Einhorn talked up the company.
Soros, 81, cut his stake in Apple during the first quarter, from 95,000 shares to 40,000. Renaissance trimmed its Apple holdings from 1.28 million shares to a bit more than 736,000.
Speaking at the Ira Sohn conference on Wednesday, Greenlight Capital's Einhorn said that Apple is "misunderstood" and could be the world's first $1 trillion company.
The misunderstanding is that Apple is not a hardware company, but rather a software company, Einhorn said. The company's value lies not within the iPhone or iPad, but within iOS, iCloud and the App Store, he added.
Shares of Apple closed down 6.41% for the week at $530.38.
Groupon(GRPN) reported stronger-than-expected first-quarter earnings on Monday, sending shares higher, as worries over the firm's business model subsided somewhat.
The Chicago-based e-commerce company reported first-quarter earnings of 2 cents a share on $559.3 million in revenue. The average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters was for a profit of a penny a share on revenue of $530.6 million. Revenue jumped 89% year-over-year, thanks in part to strong international growth, which grew 102% over the same period.
Groupon said it expects second-quarter revenue to be between $550 million and $590 million. The current consensus estimate is for revenue of $558.7 million.
Shares gained 16.97% during the week to close at $11.58.
HP(HPQ) is reportedly cutting 25,000 jobs, as it copes with slow demand for its products and services.

|Title: Medical Gas Containers and Closures; Current Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements
|Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration is proposing to amend its current good manufacturing practice regulations and other regulations to clarify and strengthen requirements for the label, color, dedication, and design of medical gas containers and closures. Despite existing regulatory requirements and industry standards for medical gases, there have been repeated incidents in which cryogenic containers of harmful industrial gases have been connected to medical oxygen supply systems in hospitals and nursing homes, and subsequently administered to patients. These incidents have resulted in death and serious injury. There have also been several incidents involving high-pressure medical gas cylinders that have resulted in death and injuries to patients. These proposed amendments, together with existing regulations, are intended to ensure that the types of incidents that have occurred in the past, as well as other types of foreseeable and potentially deadly medical gas mixups, do not occur in the future.

Vermont Gas Systems moves ahead on Phase IIJune 19,2014by Bruce Edwards
Staff Writer
SOUTH BURLINGTON - Shoreham and Vermont Gas Systems have signed a memorandum of understanding regarding Phase II of a proposed natural gas pipeline that will serve the International paper mill in Ticonderoga, N.Y., the company announced Thursday.
The agreement with the Select Board includes distribution of natural gas to homes and businesses; conditions on how and where the 10-inch underground transmission pipeline is built; the creation of a community fund, and enhanced emergency training and safety management measures. Shoreham is also considering converting its municipal buildings to natural gas.
Based on Shoreham's status hosting the transmission line to the IP paper mill, Vermont Gas will create a $100,000 community fund to be administered by Shoreham's Select board.
The fund may be used for consumer education, feasibility studies related to commercial expansion in town, retrofitting municipal facilities, and a financing program for residents to make energy-efficiency improvements.
"Our agreement with Vermont Gas is a positive step forward that will ensure our community and landowner's interests," Paul Saenger, chairman of the select board, said in a statement. "The community fund, to be managed by the town, will help town officials with planning and emergency services. While natural gas will be available to some parts of Shoreham, it is our hope Vermont Gas will continue to work to expand their service so all of our citizens can benefit from the lower prices and emissions of natural gas."
Phase I of the Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project, which received approval last year, will transport natural gas from Colchester to Middlebury, Vergennes, St. George, Monkton, and New Haven.
If approved by the Public Service Board, Phase II will deliver natural gas to parts of Cornwall and Shoreham, and then to the International Paper Mill in Ticonderoga.
By extending natural gas service to the mill, Vermont Gas said it will save Vermonters the $45 million cost to bring natural gas to Rutland by 2020 - 15 years sooner than anticipated.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...
