Ex-Vt state worker sentenced in farm prostitution case
BRATTLEBORO — A former Vermont state worker has been sentenced to six months of home detention for his role in a scheme to bring women from New York City to Vermont to engage in prostitution with farm workers.
Alex Young-Hernandez was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Brattleboro.
The 56-year-old worked as a case aide for the Department for Children and Families for 10 years at the time of his arrest, The Burlington Free Press reported.
Young-Hernandez said he learned about the prostitution operation in October 2010 from Jose Flores-Rocha at a trailer in northern Vermont where Young-Hernandez lived with several farm workers, according to court records.
"Flores-Rocha had brought a woman to his trailer to engage in sexual acts with at least one of Young-Hernandez's roommates, who worked at a nearby farm. Flores-Rocha asked Young-Hernandez to provide numbers and names for farmer workers that might be interested in prostitution services. Young-Hernandez agreed," said a sentencing memorandum filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Heather Ross.
Flores-Rocha was arrested six months later by Border Patrol agents. A woman traveling with him said he had taken her to three farms on March 15, 2011, to provide sexual services to farm workers, court records said.
When Flores-Rocha was arrested, he had Young-Hernandez's business card and three text messages from Young-Hernandez on his cellphone listing addresses of farms where workers were interested in receiving sexual services, the sentencing memorandum said.MORE IN This Just InNEWBURY Police said somebody stole booze and change from a Welch Road residence.

The dieting aisles of your local grocery store feature a vast array of pill choices that vie for your attention, many boasting advertisements that weight will drop almost instantaneously from your body if you take the pill.
Most of us avoid the deceitful advertising and know that we can't instantly lose weight safely. However, there are some simple ways to assist your weight loss efforts in a healthy way, including choosing foods that have the reputation of burning fat.
You may have seen commercials toting the benefits of milk in diet plans. The theory behind this statement is that the calcium in milk acts as a metabolic trigger as well as being a good source of complex carbohydrates, which can boost your metabolism.
This boost will keep your insulin levels low after you eat a meal. High insulin is undesirable since it means your body will think it needs to store fat.
A University of Tennessee study found that when dieters consumed 1,200 to 1,300 mg of calcium every day, they lost almost twice as much as dieters who had less calcium in their diets.
An additional perk to adding more milk to your diet is the added benefits of maintaining strong bones and healthy teeth.
Whole Grains
Whole grains are beneficial for your body in many ways, including that the rich source of fiber will keep your metabolism pumping and will rev up calories you burn every day. Foods such as cereal and oatmeal also keeps your insulin levels low.They also have the added benefit of keeping you feeling full longer so you can successfully dodge the snack machine.
Spicy Foods
You may avoid these types of food since they could require you to keep a pitcher of water at your side through the meal. However, if you can brave these menu choices, spicy foods burn more calories, as well as doing an excellent job boosting your metabolism.
One study reported by the Laval University of Quebec found that men who consumed coffee and red-peppered snacks and meals burned almost 1,000 more calories a day than the control group, also according to AOL Health.
Green tea
Long touted as a healthy alternative to coffee, this little cup of power contains a chemical called EGCG that causes the brain and nervous system to speed up. It will also assist your body in burning more calories through the day.
A cup of tea with each meal will help keep you on track with your weight loss plans. The EGCG in the tea works similar to caffeine, except the caffeine makes your heart race faster.
Green tea will not only help you in your weight loss efforts, but rumors of the added health benefits of this drink choice make it desirable to add to your regular beverage choices, since some say it can also fight cancer and heart disease, delay dementia and prevent strokes.
It's good to know the turkey on your holiday table can help you maintain your dieting plans and goals. This main dish choice is an excellent source of lean protein that also is an excellent way to boost your metabolism.
Just don't forget to remove the skin before eating to save those extra calories for a piece of pumpkin pie.A turkey breast is also a versatile meat choice that can be used just like chicken in your meals; you can stir-fry, grill and enjoy this lean meat year-around on your grocery list instead of just for your holiday table.

My 5 month old dd has her two bottom teeth and another one is about to pop up on top...she'll start to nurse and then wham, bite down so hard! It kills! I gently stick my finger between to unlatch and then get her latched again but then boom, she'll bite down again! I'm nervous that she's not getting enough to eat and this is getting down right painful. Plus I know she's not sucking while she's biting down either.
What can I do? She nurses great in the morning and evenings (b/c she's tired and all) but during the day when she is awake and lively she bites bites bites!
Thanks for any advice on what to make my biting baby stop!
Also, I am giving her things to chew on between meals...

- Valence space electron momentum spectroscopy of diborane
- Author(s)
- Wang, Feng; Pang, Wenning; Huang, Ming
- Abstract
- A non-classical mechanism of binding in diborane (B2 H 6) is derived quantum-mechanically (B3LYP/6-311++G**) using a dual-space analysis. High-resolution binding-energy spectra of diborane, generated using an outer-valence Green's-function and density-functional theory with a statistical average of model orbital potentials (SAOP), agree satisfactorily with experiment. Electron-correlation energies of diborane produce orbital-based variations in ionization energy in the valence space, but with negligible impact on the shape of only ag symmetry orbitals as indicated in momentum space. The present work indicates quantitatively that (a) the pair of three-centre banana-shaped BHbB bonds are more accurately described as one diamond-shaped bond with BHbBHb, (b) all bonds in diborane are electron-deficient including the four equivalent BHt bonds, (c) there is no pure BB bond but contributions from all valence orbitals form an unconventional electron-deficient BB bond, and (d) only two innermost valence orbitals - 2ag and 2b1u - are sp2-hybridized and no evidence indicates other valence orbitals of diborane to be hybridized.

Learn the answers to some of the frequently asked questions regarding transportation planning in Columbus, Georgia.
Question: What is the function of the Columbus-Phenix City Metropolitan Planning Organization (C-PCMPO)?
Answer: The C-PCMPO is a transportation policy-making organization made up of representatives from local governments in the Columbus Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and, local and state transportation officials. The Federal Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1973 required the formation of an MPO for any urbanized area with a population greater than 50,000. The C-PCMPO was created in order to ensure that existing and future expenditures for transportation projects and programs were based on a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive (3-C) planning process. Federal funding for transportation projects and programs are channeled through this planning process.
Question: What areas are included in the C-PCMPO?
Answer: All of the local governments within the Columbus MSA (Chattahoochee, Harris, Marion and Muscogee in Georgia and Russell in Alabama) are eligible to participate in the MPO process. Lee County is also a member of the C-PCMPO.
Question: What does the C-PCMPO do?
Answer: The C-PCMPO performs the regional transportation planning and coordination for the MSA. The C-PCMPO is committed to unifying the area's resources to prepare for the future transportation needs of our region. It does this by providing professional planning services, involving the community in collaborative partnerships that promote strong economic and sound environmental policies, while improving the region's quality of life.
Question: Who staffs the C-PCMPO?
Answer: The C-PCMPO has three committees that establish programs and priorities for the C-PCMPO. The committees are:
Question: Who staffs the C-PCMPO?
Answer: The Planning Department of the Columbus, Georgia Consolidated Government is responsible for the day to day staffing needs of the organization.
Question: How does the C-PCMPO select projects to include in the LRTP or TIP?
Answer: Projects are evaluated and prioritized based on the planning factors outlined in TEA-21 (the federal transportation funding authorization bill). C-PCMPO policies encourage alternative modes of transportation and local jurisdictional priorities. Projects are also given additional consideration if they are part of the Columbus Congestion Management Process (CMP). The CMP was developed to identify, implement and evaluate cost-effective transportation projects to alleviate known congestion areas.
Question: I cannot get out of my subdivision in the morning. Can I ask the C-PCMPO to include a traffic light project in the LRTP or TIP?
Answer: C-PCMPO welcomes all comments related to the functionality of the regional transportation system; however, some questions may be forwarded to local government staff for response. Each local government is responsible for identifying priority needs and projects. They will perform studies and analysis to ensure the merits of each idea. Through the C-PCMPO's Transportation Coordinating Committee (TCC), projects are identified, prioritized and matched with the funding available for any given year. Citizens can provide input throughout various stages of the planning process from the local to regional levels. Besides being required by federal regulations, public input is essential to creating and implementing a well balanced and efficient transportation system.
Question: Can the C-PCMPO implement these plans?
Answer: No. The power to put these plans into action is the responsibility of each local government and state agency.
Question: Who decides which transportation projects get implemented?
Answer: The decision to implement a transportation project begins with the local government representatives. Once local priorities have been determined, the projects will be submitted to C-PCMPO for federal funding and/or inclusion in the regional Travel Demand Model. The C-PCMPO staff evaluates and selects projects to be incorporated into its plans and programs. Then the C-PCMPO Policy Coordinating Committee votes to adopt the plan or program. Once the project has been included in a plan and program, C-PCMPO and the local government will work with the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) or the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) in order to secure the funding and ensure the project follows all state and federal design and construction guidelines.
Question: What are the different categories from which transportation projects can be funded?
Answer: Transportation projects can be funded from the following sources:
Question: Why does it take so much time for a transportation project to become operational or open to traffic?
Answer: Due to federal and state regulations, the process for transportation projects can be as long as 8 to 10 years. The process tends to be longer for those projects that will add capacity to our existing highway network. Once the idea for a road project has been developed, studies may be needed for justification of the project. These studies could be handled by local or state agencies as appropriate. Once complete, the state would submit the project to the C-PCMPO for federal funding.
Also at this time, the project is assessed for its impact to the surrounding environment. In following the NEPA or National Environmental Protection Act, local and state agencies will review influences, if any to watersheds or waterways as well as effects to green space, adjoining residential areas and even air quality in some cases. When the time comes, some or all of the three phases of the project will be submitted for inclusion to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
Question: How can I voice my support or opposition to a proposed project or program?
Answer: Early in the planning or project development process, it is important to express your support or opposition at the local level. By contacting your city or county planning department or department of transportation, you can stay informed of the projects planned for submission for federal funding. All of the C-PCMPO meetings are open to the public to allow citizens who wish to become involved in the regional transportation planning process. Please call a Transportation Planner for more information on the C-PCMPO's policy for citizen input at committee meetings (view Planning's contact information).
Once a draft plan or program has been developed, there will be a formal public review and comment period as required by law. During the comment period, citizens are encouraged to inform regional leaders about their positions on the plan or program through written comments or scheduled public meetings.
Question: Are the C-PCMPO's meetings open to the public?
Answer: Yes. All committee meetings are open to the public. Any citizen wishing to speak at these meetings must notify the C-PCMPO's office prior to the meeting date of that particular committee. For a schedule of meetings and more information call a Transportation Planner (view Planning's contact information).
Question: How can I get advance notice of public meetings?
Answer: The C-PCMPO thoroughly advertises as far in advance as possible about upcoming public meetings. If you would like to be included on C-PCMPO's mailing list, you can sign up by submitting your email address to email@example.com. The C-PCMPO also publishes public meeting notices in the Columbus Ledger Enquirer and the Columbus Times.
Question: Can I request a public meeting in my neighborhood on transportation issues?
Answer: The C-PCMPO wants to hear from citizens in your neighborhood. This can happen by contacting our staff at firstname.lastname@example.com with your comments or by scheduling a speaking engagement. You can request a representative from the C-PCMPO to speak at one of your organization's meetings or events. Please call a Transportation Planner for more information (view Planning's contact information). The speaking engagements include time for questions, answers and providing public comment.
When the C-PCMPO plans its public meetings, we try to find locations that will be convenient and accessible to as many citizens as possible. We try to locate public meetings in a central facility that will service the most people. Most of the time, we use facilities such as school or public building because of their accessibility and their location is generally known to a larger segment of the community. If you would like to suggest a possible location for a future meeting, please give the Planning Department a call. Please keep in mind that any facility for such a meeting must adhere to the requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Question: What are arterials and collectors?
Answer: Arterials are major roads important in the movement of people and goods. Generally, arterials act as the alternates to interstate highways. Arterials connect directly to freeways and interstates. Examples include Manchester Expressway, Veterans Parkway, Buena Vista Road, Victory Drive, U.S. Route 280, U.S. Route 431.
As the name implies, collectors serve to connect vehicles from the local street to arterials. Collectors are generally two-lane suburban and rural streets that have low speed limits and little to no commercial development. Examples include any road that would connect to subdivisions or other residential areas.
Question: What is SAFETEA-LU?
Answer: (Excerpted from 'A Summary of Highway Provisions in SAFETEA-LU' pamphlet published by the United States Department of Transportation)
On August 10, 2005, the President signed into law the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). With guaranteed funding for highways, highway safety, and public transportation totaling $244.1 billion, SAFETEA-LU represents the largest surface transportation investment in our Nation's history. The two landmark bills that brought surface transportation into the 21st century – the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) and the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) – shaped the highway program to meet the Nation's changing transportation needs. SAFETEA-LU builds on this firm foundation, supplying the funds and refining the programmatic framework for investments needed to maintain and grow our vital transportation infrastructure. For more information including the full text version of the above section, visit the official SAFETEA-LU website at FHWA.DOT.gov/safetealu/.
Question: What is being done to ensure air quality in our region?
Answer: The C-PCMPO is also directly involved in the preparation of any studies and/or plans for air quality for the region. The C-PCMPO is working directly with state and federal officials to monitor conditions for ozone and particulate matter to maintain an attainment rating for air quality issues. Should the C-PCMPO area receive designation as an air quality non-attainment or maintenance area, additional requirements for transportation needs would be imposed, including conformity with a state's air quality plan, known as the State Implementation Plan (SIP). Visit the Air Quality Alliance of the Chattahoochee Valley's website for more information.
Question: What Happens when your property is needed for a transportation facility by the GDOT?
Answer: The Georgia Department of Transportation must acquire land to improve its transportation system. Many of our transportation systems which were built years ago have outlived their intended use. If you own property near an existing or proposed transportation facility, you will be interested in the procedure which the Georgia Department of Transportation follows in acquiring the necessary right of way.

Salzburg Travelogues
Austria travelogues - August 2005
I have visited Austria several times. My first visit was in 1998 for a ski trip to Schladming. I came back a year later, this time to Heiligenblut. In the Summer of 1999, after graduating high school, I went on a trip to Budapest and Vienna by bus (!!) with a friend.
We got stuck in Vienna longer than we intended to, well at least longer than my homesick friend intented to ;) and had a great time! Six years later, in April 2005, I visited Vienna again for a week, for the EGU conference. I liked it so much that I returned to Austria in Summer for a week, visiting Bregenz, Innsbruck and Salzburg.

Barre Mayor suggests that voters decide truck bypass idea
BARRE The City Council wont necessarily have the last word when it comes to the fate of a downtown truck bypass. Granite City voters might.
After learning that the citys Transportation Advisory Committee agreed earlier this week to recommend that the council abandon a Summer Street truck route that has been put to the test over the past 30 days, Lauzon floated the idea of asking voters to decide the controversial question.
According to Lauzon, that could mean extending the soon-to-expire trial period for a truck route that has been roundly criticized by several people who live, work and own property on Summer Street through the citys Town Meeting Day elections next March. Or, he said, the council could elect to allow trucks back on North Main Street for now while still pursuing a public vote that might lead to the truck routes reinstatement next year.
Thats the councils call, he said.
Lauzon said he will wait to receive the committees recommendation before making any decisions himself. However, he admitted, he is intrigued by the prospect of letting voters speak on the issue.
At the end of the day the people who live on Summer Street will focus on all of the reasons why we shouldnt do it and the people who are on (North) Main Street will focus on all the reasons that we should, he said. Im more interested in hearing from the entire community I would be thrilled to let the community decide this one for us.
That idea isnt without support on the seven-member City Council.
Though members differed on what should happen with the truck route in the interim, a clear majority said they would not object to involving voters in the decision-making process.
Councilor Paul Poirier said his only issue is what happens to the truck route between now and March.
According to Poirier, he will back the recommendation of the committee that took the time to take the testimony on both sides of the issue and to seriously evaluate whether designating Summer Street as a truck route made sense.
Thats what Im going to support, he said of the committees soon-to-be-delivered recommendation.
However, while Poirier said he believed North Main Street should be immediately reopened to trucks, he left the door wide open to putting the question on the citys Town Meeting Day ballot.
That would at least give voters the opportunity to weigh in on the issue, he said. Im not against that. I just think we should return the trucks to North Main Street now.
Councilor Lucas Herring said he wasnt prepared to discuss extending the detour through the winter months without first reviewing the committees recommendation, but said he could easily be persuaded to go along with a Town Meeting Day vote on a clearly contentious question.
Im not opposed to that, he said.
Councilor Michael Boutin is.
Boutin, who voted against even testing the truck route last month, said he was pleased with the committees conclusion that it should be abandoned, and surprised and troubled by the suggestion it be put to a public vote.
Councilor Anita Chadderton, who said from the start that she believed 30 days wasnt adequate to truly test the truck route, said extending the trial period through winter months would be useful.
According to Chadderton, the extended trial period could serve as an informative run-up to a March vote that she said would be the best measure of where the community stands on the truck route.
I like that idea, she said.
Smith agreed that a public vote would be a fair way to resolve what he views as an honest, but predictable, difference of opinion over the value of banning big rigs from the citys newly rebuilt central business district.
I can see both sides, he said.
Local merchants on North Main Street have widely embraced an idea that they believe will make for a more pedestrian-friendly and inviting downtown, while those who live along the truck route have objected to what they view as a tortured downtown bypass that raises both safety concerns and quality of life issues for their neighborhood, from truck noise to exhaust fumes.
The latter group dominated discussion during a hearing process that wrapped up this week when the committee agreed to recommend the council allow large trucks back on a road that members concluded was designed and built to handle the pounding from that sort of traffic.
The council is expected to receive the committees written recommendation next week and will decide how to proceed on Nov. 27.

A Baltimore woman is suing Hooters, alleging she was fired after putting blond highlights in her hair.
Farryn Johnson, a 25-year-old African-American, claims her supervisors said her hair violated the appearance policy for "Hooters Girls," her attorney told the Baltimore Sun.
Her managers told her to remove the highlights, but Johnson told them she didn't have the money to.
She was later fired for what the company called an "improper image," according to the lawsuit.
Johnson said it's particularly unfair because other waitresses at the Baltimore restaurant were not given the same ultimatums, even though they had obviously dyed hair. An Asian-American waitress, for example, had dyed her hair bright red, while a white waitress had black hair with platinum highlights, according to the lawsuit.
Johnson said other black waitresses were also told to straight their curly hair.
Rebecca Sinclair, chief human resources officer for Hooters of America, denied the claims.
"Hooters adamantly denies that it has different policies and standards for hair based on race," she said in a statement published by UPI. "As a global brand, Hooters embraces our culturally diverse employee base and our standards are applied impartially."
Johnson, who worked at Hooters for almost a year, is seeking compensation for lost wages and a change in policy, the Sun reported.

Ten charged with dealing heroin and cocaine in Pike County
Criminal use of a communication facility is a felony of the 3rd degree punishable by up to 7 years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
District Attorney Tonkin said "the investigation and arrest will certainly curtail heroin and cocaine dealing in the Delaware/Dingman area and make the community a safer place. We also hope to solve additional crimes through these arrests, as many times drugs are associated with other criminal activity."
Tonkin thanked all the agencies who participated in the investigation and arrests, saying, "today citizens can feel proud of law enforcement in making our community safer."
Anyone with information on drug trafficking in Pike County can call the District Attorney's Office at 570/296-3482 and ask for the Detective Bureau. All calls will be kept confidential.

Glad to hear things went well for you yesterday! I'm sure cluster feeding is much easier to manage starting at 5 rather than 10. Here's some info on cue feeding and its benefits if anyone is interested. http://www.llli.org/NB/NBJulAug03p126.html

DD 10/2008 8 lb, 2 oz. 20 in.
Yay!!! Good for you!!! Congrats mom!
Loving being a first time mom to Mia Lynn! Born 2/26/08!!
At birth:8 lbs
Coming home: 7 lbs 6 oz
1 month- 9 lbs 12 oz
8 wks- 11 lbs 6 oz
3.5 mos- 13 lbs 4 oz
5.5 mos- 17 lbs 2 oz
10 mos- ~20 lbs
Glad to see things are going better. I would suggest co-sleeping if your not. My LO was very high needs when she was born and we did the co-sleeping for the first 8 weeks because she liked to cluster feed at night. I found that it was more like she just needed me to be close to her rather than hunger. She still nursed but more like sucked and fell asleep and stayed latched on for a while to keep me close. Once we got this down she was fine. We did a lot of babywearing during the day too so she was next to me all the time. That helped because she could nurse more often during the day and needed less in the evenings.
wife , mom, maid , cook , taxi. All in a days work
I agree, growth spurt and cluster feedings will help. In general, I find the more I nurse in the day the less I nurse at night. We have a routine going now where she only wakes up once or twice to eat. When I sensed another growth spurt around 6 weeks, I bf her on a schedule even when she was dozing. She would wake long enough to eat and then pretty much sleep through the night.
Just wanted to let you know I am in the same boat as you. I have just started the evening cluster feeding this past week (was more baby led). We tried the co-sleeping for a few nights. It worked ok, but he's a restless sleeper - he kicks me a lot at night. So I came up with a sorta co-sleeping thing. I took the side rail off his crib, pushed it right up to my edge of the bed so both met. I fed him and start him off in his bed at night, then when he wakes I can reach over for him either sit up or lay on my side and nurse then put him back in his bed without having to get up. I like that he is still very close to me but I'm not kept up with his kicking me either. Sometimes after dh leaves for work I bring LO in bed with me for some morning snuggles and sleep, then when he starts kicking I can just put him a little further on dh's side. Also the swaddling thing has definately made a difference. At first I didn't think he liked it, but tried it again when he was about 3wks. Now he sleeps much better at night.

I didnt vote yet but i might end up voting for Kidd too, i think hes a much better fit on this team then he was in Dallas and hes gonna look a few years younger
Jason Kidd
Ray Felton
Pablo Prigioni
Ronnie Brewer Jr.
Marcus Camby
Kurt Thomas
Chris Copeland
Chris Smith
James White
With 9 new players to don the orange & blue for New York this upcoming season, It is clear that we'll see a much different team than last year. Three new point guards in Kidd, Felton and "The Maestro", the return of Camby and Kurt, defensive-specialist Ronnie Brewer Jr., and three wildcards in Copeland, White and Chris Smith....a defense-focused supporting cast for our BIG Three.
Of all these guys, Which player do you think will make the biggest impact for the Knicks next season?
Let me start it off with my pick.....
I absolutely love the Kidd signing, as he's basically going to be our offensive coach. Genius move by Grunwald, taking into consideration that Woody isn't exactly great in the offensive apartment. It's nice to know that we've got a proven, future HOF PG running the show and leading the charge.
IMO, Kidd will finally bring that much needed order and calmness to our offensive schemes, he's done it for all of his teams for 18 years now in the NBA. I know he's not as quick and strong as he used to be, but his leadership, perimeter shooting, and superb playmaking will absolutely make us a better team than last season.

I didnt vote yet but i might end up voting for Kidd too, i think hes a much better fit on this team then he was in Dallas and hes gonna look a few years younger
I am going to vote for Ronnie Brewer Jr. I hope he can transition into the role we needed Landry to fill for the past two seasons. That role in my opinion is :
- Play good team defense , Play passing lanes to start breaks / transition offense , and guard the best perimeter player so Melo does not have too
- Rebound at 3-6 rpg
- Knock down open shots ( 3 pointers ) / space floor
The thing I am most worried about from Ronnie would be his ability to knock down 3 pointers. He is a pro so I am sure Woody has him working on this part of his game just as Landry was when the off season started.
Good thread OP!
I think Felton is going to make the biggest impact out of your options. He's the starting PG so that's an obvious huge factor, & if his chemistry with STAT from his previous stint returns next season, this team will see a tremendous boost in performance.
(btw, Kidd is wearing #5 for us this year)
I was gonna choose Felton initially, but after watching some gameplay of him, he was out of control in most possessions. His game reminded me a little of Baron Davis. Focused on dishing the ball, but plays out of control sometimes. Plus, Kidd seems to be better in shooting the three boll than Ray, something that is much needed for our frontcourt who likes to clog up the lane.
But if Felton can somehow learn to play more controlled basketball while still maintaining that aggressive edge, I agree with you that he'll probably make the biggest impact. Right now though, my choice is Kidd.
Signature created by AmareforPresident
Dead set draw between Kidd and Felton.
Felton will add to his game under Kidd's tutelage.
Kidd will add to his legacy through the successes of moulding Felton.
There is an equilibrium between the 2, as one needs the other to help the team succeed. In doing so, they become successes.
Long term, Felton. A season or 2 of high output and orchestration and he's done what he needs to do as Kidd's career reaches its twilight. He will then move on to another team as this 3 year window of opportunity comes to a close presumably, with a winner's ticket to a new and suitable contract for him.
Can't wait to see it all unfold!
Marcus Camby, the guys a starter on ALOT of other teams and he comes here to become a backup.
our interior Defense hasnt looked this unstoppable in quite some time.
Felton Easily creates the biggest impact just look at that tummy, Nobody can deny this man wont shake up the whole arena.
But in all seriousness, since our defense down low became swiss cheese once Chandler got into foul trouble i feel Marcus Camby will create the biggest impact for the Knicks. Marcus Camby is also capable of playing some starting minutes so if there were to come a time where Chandler is injured we wont be missing a beat by inserting Camby into the Starting lineup. Ontop of that we can play Chandler & Camby down low at some points (which Woodson already stated as a possibility if needed). If anyone watched all of the Knicks games last season one of our glaring weaknesses was No presence down low off the bench. Jeffries was a nice filler but he's no blocking machine nor is he altering any shots he's mostly good for taking charges. Marcus Camby as our backup Center whats not to love? Some of the times Chandler played soft because he didn't want to get into foul trouble.. knowing he'll have legit backup insurance in Camby this season i think we'll be seeing an even more aggressive Chandler this season and i cant wait
But I chose Kidd because of what he can bring on the court as well as off the court. He can still give 20 quality minutes, help Woodson coach the offense, it becomes more free lance than something overly structured and just his intangibles gives him cred inside the lockerroom.
I'm not sure about Kidd, after that DUI, I get the feeling that he's here to coast into retirement and party. I could be wrong, of course.
I voted Camby. He's going to bridge that gap between Chandler and the rest of the team. It's a second guy that can swat and board, kind of the intermediate role between Amar'e and Tyson on defense.
Raymond Felton
I think he's gonna be huge for us this year
He's gonna run the show play 32-36 minutes a night, get STAT&Melo easy buckets, keep the rhythm going for our team. Defense starts with him this year putting pressure on opposing PG's
Felton will give us
8.5apg- 1.5topg
48% FG's-37% 3's-82% FT's
I now think it will be Felton, we're in trouble if its not him on offense
With Kidd or felton in my opinion
Ima go felton simply because of his hunger to shut haters/critics up and he's playing with a chip. Also lets.not forget the man has chemistry with stat. He's part of the revival.
All the others are huge contributors but feltons will be the steepest

text: not a hospital grade pump.. ill probably get one.. idk she was never fussy when i was strictly bottlefeeding or in the first several weeks of breastfeeding. She was normally such a happy sweet tempered baby.. she's always smiling and happy after our occasional successful feeding. I guess thats prob why its so hard. I know she is crying because she is hungry.

November 17, 2011 —
The people in my community of Pond Eddy, NY are devastated by the proposed closing of the post office that serves our tiny hamlet. It is one of nine in the area that have been targeted by the United States Postal Service (USPS) for closing. The post office is, for many of us in small rural hamlets, the center of our communities.
The post office in Pond Eddy is where people run into each other on a daily basis, exchange greetings and news ("Have you seen, the river's really high?" "Maggie's back in the hospital again...") and check out the bulletin board ("Low cost neutering for cats!") as well as pick up their mail.
In fact, the post office is where I probably first met most of the people I know in this town.
I realize that the tiny Pond Eddy Post Office doesn't generate a huge amount of income. But then again, it can't be costing a great deal either. I am the owner of the post office building and know that the USPS pays only a modest sum for rent.
Pond Eddy is a little hamlet that lies low by the beautiful, still natural, Upper Delaware River. If we have to drive up to Glen Spey to get our mail, as proposed, there are many complications: a four-plus mile drive up a steep, winding road that is sometimes treacherous in winter. The additional cost of an eight-mile round trip to pick up mail. For those without a car, I presume the USPS will have to supply home delivery. That can't come cheap, thereby offsetting any savings.
On the day that a representative from the USPS came to talk to the community, a large crowd crammed into the post office. Several people spoke up at the meeting, vociferous, passionate, even; I had not realized how important the post office was to the people of this community until I saw the intensity of their pleas.
I myself get my meds (including insulin) through the post office, along with plants for my garden, clothing and other items that I purchase on-line. Of course there are many others who do the same.
Whoever said that tiny post offices should have to be self-sustaining? They're a small, but essential, part of a huge system that takes in a great deal of revenue, overall.
My understanding is that the USPS actually takes in enough revenue to support the entire system, including tiny outposts such as the one in Pond Eddy, except for a requirement requiring funding of future pensions. Wouldn't it make more sense to try to fix that problem rather than depriving American citizens in rural areas of something essential to their way of life? I hope the USPS will work hard for a resolution such as that, rather than closing down something so important to the heart and soul of rural American life as the community post office.
I am very grateful to Congressman Maurice Hinchey and his staff, who have been working valiantly on behalf of our little post office, and all the little post offices in this area, to keep them open.
There is action people can take. I urge my neighbors and fellow citizens to write to Leslie Johnson, Manager, Consumer Industry Contact, USPS - Westchester District, 1000 Westchester Avenue, P.O. Box 9608, White Plains, NY 10610-9608, to express their concern and dismay about these proposed closings. Send a copy to Congressman Hinchey's office (16 James Street, 3rd floor, Middletown, NY 10940; fax 845/342-2070), as well as to Senators Schumer and Gillibrand. To be effective, letters should reach Lubrano before Thanksgiving, November 24.

My son gets the hiccups almost everyday and i just offer him the boob I let him fall asleep on it and they go away. I hope this helps good luck.
My son gets the hiccups almost everyday and i just offer him the boob I let him fall asleep on it and they go away. I hope this helps good luck.
My baby boy, Spencer, was born on May 23rd, 2006 (24 days old to be exact) and we have also found that he seems to get hiccups often and they generally develop after I breastfeed him. I also found that if I offered him the breast one more time it seemed to soothe him and the hiccups went away. I am not sure why babies get hiccups...someone told me that it is because they have swallowed some air during a feed but I am not sure if this is true. Every book seems to say that the hiccups are worse for the parents then they are for the baby...parents do not like to see their baby looking uncomfortable. So I guess I can say you are not alone in the matter and try offering the breast again and see if this soothes your little one.
I certainly remember those days!!! Babies get the hiccups a lot! They grow out of that phase soon enough. I remember thinking that it probably bothered me more watching them than it bothered them.
My DD was born may 23rd too!! Neat!
Thanks everone for the replies!!!

He liked the taste of gripe water better, so we gave him that. I think we usually gave it to him 2x/day, and a few times 3 or 4. Anyway, that is the dosage and timing my doctor said were safe. For what it's worth.
