The deal averages $12.2 million per year and includes a $10 million signing bonus and $40 million in guaranteed money, according to multiple reports.
Smith, 23, is considered one of the top young blind-side protectors in the NFL. He has started all 47 games in which he has played since being selected in the first round in 2011, missing one game in 2012, the year he took over protecting quarterback Tony Romo's blind side after spending his first season at right tackle.
---The Pittsburgh Steelers announced Wednesday they will retire Hall of Fame defensive tackle Joe Greene's No. 75 in a ceremony on Nov. 2 when they will host the Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field.
Greene's number will become just the second that the Steelers retired, joining Ernie Stautner in achieving that distinction. Stautner, also a defensive tackle, had his No. 70 retired in 1964.
Greene, the leader of the "Steel Curtain" defense during the 1970s, helped lead the Steelers to four Super Bowl victories and six AFC Championship game appearances. He played a critical role in the Steelers' Super Bowl IX victory, the team's first championship, in a win over the Minnesota Vikings with an interception and a fumble recovery. In his post-playing career, Greene became a member of Chuck Noll's coaching staff for five years, and he later joined the Steelers personnel department for nine years.
---The Green Bay Packers signed general manager Ted Thompson to a multiyear contract extension Wednesday. Terms of the extension were not disclosed.
Thompson, who also holds the titles of executive vice president and director of football operations, is entering his 10th season as the head of the team's football operations. One of the most respected executives in the league, Thompson has helped groom a number of high-level personnel evaluators, including Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider and Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie.
Known for his sharp scouting eye, Thompson, 61, has built the Packers into a perennial playoff contender largely through the NFL Draft since taking over as general manager in 2005.
---Wide receiver Josh Gordon will appeal his minimum one-year suspension for testing positive for marijuana on Friday in New York in front of an NFL-appointed arbitrator.
Attorney Maurice Suh will argue Gordon did not smoke marijuana but instead inhaled second-hand smoke which resulted in a positive test, according to various reports. Gordon's attorneys also contend the test was faulty, according to reports, because of a disparity in Gordon's urine sample.
Gordon is in Stage 3 of the league's substance abuse program because he tested positive for marijuana in 2012 and positive for what he said was codeine in prescribed cough syrup last year. He reportedly tested negative for marijuana in random tests at least 70 times.
---Mark Davis, the owner of the Oakland Raiders, confirmed visiting with San Antonio officials about relocating his team to that area.
Davis said he met with former San Antonio mayor Henry Cisneros, then-mayor Julian Castro, city manager Sheryl Sculley, Mario Hernandez of the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation, and the president and chairman of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce in mid-July.
NFL spokesperson Greg Aiello said the NFL "received no applications from any of our teams to relocate at this point, so there is nothing for us to respond to."
---New York Giants running back David Wilson is out indefinitely and will not play in Sunday's Hall of Fame preseason opener and his football future is in question.
Wilson awaits an appointment on Aug. 4 with Dr. Frank Cammissa at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. Dr. Cammissa is the surgeon who performed Wilson's spinal fusion.
With about 10 minutes remaining in practice Tuesday, Wilson was spotted walking off the field with head trainer Ronnie Barnes after suffering what coach Tom Coughlin described as a "burner." Wilson was just cleared for contact on July 21, the first day of training camp, after recovering from neck surgery six months ago.
---Patrick Peterson, in the discussion as the NFL's top cornerback, received a five-year extension worth $70 million from the Arizona Cardinals.
The extension begins in 2015 and is worth $70 million, including $48 million guaranteed, Peterson said.
Peterson announced on Twitter on Tuesday night. The team followed with an official announcement.
The deal exceeds the $68 million contract for Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden and the four-year, $56 million pact Richard Sherman signed with the Seattle Seahawks.
---Rookie Demarcus Lawrence, the Dallas Cowboys' hand-picked replacement for DeMarcus Ware, could miss half of the regular season with a broken foot.
Lawrence was injured Tuesday in a training camp workou at Oxnard, Calif., and will miss 2-3 months.
The 34th overall pick in the 2014 draft, the Cowboys traded up to select Lawrence, who is penciled in as the starting right defensive end in Rod Marinelli's defense. He was trying to beat left tackle Tyron Smith in a blocking drill in camp Tuesday when he was tossed to the ground clutching his right ankle and foot. He was carted off to receive medical attention.

Imagery exercises use creative imagination to "picture" scenarios that relax and heal. They can be done on your own, or with a facilitator guiding you, which is called guided imagery.
A common relaxation practice is to mentally picture yourself in a pleasant place that puts your mind and body at ease. For example, imagine yourself lying on a beach with the sun shining, listening to the waves. It is important to imagine a place that has a positive association for you. (An ocean beach may not be a pleasant place for everyone!)
How can I benefit?
Studies done with cancer patients show that the use of guided imagery markedly improved stress levels. Imagery exercises are also effective for stress reduction, anxiety management, and post-operative healing.
Are there any cautions?
As with any mind-body therapy, you should feel comfortable with your guided imagery provider or imagery materials. And as with any therapy involving deep relaxation, you should monitor your drug dosage (e.g. pain relievers) as you employ the method; over time, your body may simply need less medication.

Senate Leaders Urge President Obama To Consider 'Any Lawful Steps' To Avoid Default
President Obama should consider "any lawful steps," including action without congressional approval, to raise the federal debt ceiling in order to avoid a repeat of the brinksmanship last seen on the issue in 2011, top Senate Democrats advise. In a letter to the president dated January 11, the Senate Democratic leadership warns Obama not to fall prey once again to intransigence and obstruction from Republicans, who made a political issue over raising the debt limit which ultimately downgraded the government's sterling credit rating. The Democrats' letter doesn't mention it explicitly, but it would seem to be tacit approval over a plan to mint a $1 trillion coin to avoid the sort of damaging negotiations with GOP lawmakers over the debt … Continue reading

FOWLER, DEXTER LEWIS, 92, PITTSBURGH, PA FORMERLY OF BLAIRSVILLE, PA died Sunday Jan 20,2013 in the Veterans Administration Hospital in Pittsburgh. He was born May 31,1920 to Wilbur Clark Fowler and Leah Bratton Fowler in Bellwood Pa. He is survived by his brothers Dave and Bill Fowler, his sister Nancy Landskroener,and his daughter Jeanne Bryant and their families. " Duck" graduated from Bellwood Antis High School. He excelled in football and earned a college scholarship but instead he joined the Army and served in the 1906 Engineer Aviation Battalion in Okinawa. He received the Asiatic Pacific theater ribbon with 3 bronze stars, a Phillippines liberation with a bronze star, an American theater ribbon, a good conduct ribbon and the World War II victory medal. He then worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad as a brakeman. In 1946, he married Edna Beck Fowler , his wife of 65 years who died on July 9,2011. They moved to Blairsville where they lived for 50 years. They had 3 children together. He became a long distance truck driver, working for Bethlehem Steel, owned his own rig, then became employed by Latrobe Steel Company from which he retired in 1985 with 30 years service. He received many safety awards as well as commendations for rescuing stranded motorists during his driving career. After his retirement he became a member of the Blairsville- Saltsburg School Board. Dexter had many friends and many interests. He was always interested in automobiles, politics, the steel industry, alternative energy sources, environmental issues, reading, trains, the condition of the government, the Armed Services, and his community . He had a life long quest for learning and respect for education. He lead a full and productive life until his illness 3 weeks ago. He had a strong work ethic that he passed on to his family. He was so proud of his family as he listed 1 physician,2 nurses,2 teachers, 2 bankers, 2 business owners, a speech clinician, a safety engineer ,an environmental scientist, a steelworker, a construction manager , an early childhood specialist and 7 dynamic great grandchildren with endless possibilities. To his children, his 6 grandchildren and his 7great grandchildren he was "Poppo". Dexter is survived by his children: Pam Fowler Kacsuta, her husband Richard, son R.J., daughter Heidi, husband Max and their children Jace and Samara Pedicone all of Latrobe; Patty Fowler Kasperik, her husband Don, son Kris, daughter Kelly, her husband C.J. and their child, Abby Johnson all of Texas; and son Dan, his wife Kathy, son Craig, his wife Amy and their son Isaac Fowler, daughter Emily, her husband Tom and their children Brody, Lila, and Ellie Torchia, all of Pittsburgh. In his later years Dexter became more involved with his service to his country. He was proud of his Veterans status and concerned for all veterans. He was rewarded for his service when he and his wife moved to the Southwestern Veterans Center in Pittsburgh 2 1/2 years ago. The care and treatment they received here and at the Veterans Hospital was exemplary. The dedicated staff deserves respect for the fine care they provide to our Veterans. Dexter and his family extend their gratitude to all. In following Dexter's wishes, there will be no services, visitation nor burial. He has continued to give by donating his body to the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and his brain to the Harvard University Autism tissue program. Dexter is missed. If you wish to honor his memory he suggests you cherish your family, honor your country, do no harm to others, recycle, visit your libraries, never stop learning and honor your veterans. Donations in his memory can be directed to the Southwestern Veterans Center 7060 Highland Drive Pittsburgh Pa 15206.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Sheffield Eagles Director and former RFL President John Whaling has issued a statement expressing his concern over the RFL's commitment to Rugby League in South Yorkshire.
What's he after? A ticker tape parade through the streets of Burngreave?
To be fair to the RFL, they're keeping more people in jobs than Tesco right now, including a fair few in South Yorkshire/the East Midlands, so I'm not entirely sure what he's moaning about.
How many Eagles players have a day job in RL development? Are none of these posts funded in part by the RFL?

Harassment trial set for former Wis. DA
A former Wisconsin prosecutor accused of sending racy text messages to a domestic abuse victim is due back in court next week to settle sexual harassment allegations.
Ken Kratz resigned from his position as Calumet County district attorney in 2010 after The Associated Press reported he tried to spark an affair with a woman while he prosecuted her ex-boyfriend for domestic abuse.
The woman has filed a federal lawsuit alleging Kratz sexually harassed her. She's seeking unspecified damages. A trial is set to begin in the case on Feb. 19 in Milwaukee.
The state Office of Lawyer Regulation has recommended the state Supreme Court suspend Kratz's law license for six months. The court has yet to issue a decision on the recommendation.

If they do, then I will be more than happy to eat my words.
Can anything substantial be taken away from this game? Only thing I learned is Jeremy Lin needs some R&R during the break, he is still kinda learning how to play against teams that completely center their defensive plans around him and this team will benefit from some honest practice to all get on the same page. Also mainly, the Heat are firing on a cylinders. Can't really conclude much more beyond that imo.
If they do, then I will be more than happy to eat my words.
As bad as this loss was,just think how bad it would've been if TD was starting lol.
I thought aside from Bosh coming up huge for the heat today, we were outcoached as usual. Dantoni and crew made no adjustments. We looked like the old Knicks in the 2nd half. One dimentional (Spolstra is better then we think)
And James is probably the most versatile player in the entire league. Wade up there, too.
Have you ever looked at Lebron's FG%?
He rebounds better than anyone on our team not named Tyson Chandler.
He passes better than anyone on our team.
He's more athletic and offensively dominant than anyone on our team.
Is better at D than anyone on our team.
You've called him and Wade one-dimensional and easy to handle.
What we can take away from this game is that despite Lin having his first real off-night, despite Melo not being great (he played hard though, shots just weren't falling), Amar'e being underutilized when he clearly came to play, and a rotten 3rd quarter (which we've seen far too often this 1st half -- that, more than anything, needs to change -- can't keep coming out flat as a pancake to open these friggin' 2nd halves), we were right there with them most of the way...They played about as good as they can play and we weren't anywhere near as good as we can be. Small silver lining I guess.
Jeremy's been outstanding...No question about it...But brother come on now, gotta take better care of the ball than that..YIKES! Hopefully he'll learn from it and improve...Feel bad even saying anything -- I probably should just shut my mouth -- the man's been that good and I appreciate everything he's done for us...He's single-handedly turned this franchise around and made us relevant again. Mad respect and appreciation, don't get me wrong...This is how I look at his TOs though: you throw it away trying to pass it and get creative, that's one thing...I'll live with that...As long as he's constantly being aggressive and looking to set guys up, that's this kid's game.. But to have it taken right outta your hands multiple times...That just can't happen.
JR Smith is enormously talented...I honestly never realized just how talented this dude is...WOW. At 6'6", unbelieveable handle for an off-guard, great shooter, tremendous slasher..and he's actually one hell of a passer and a pretty damn good defender and rebounder too. He's not nearly as selfish as I thought he would be...Dude's been great for us ---very team-oriented so far...That needs to continue. The man shouldn't change a thing...Really looking forward to him in the 2nd half. If we wind up doing anything noteworthy in the 2nd half and God willing in the playoffs, this guy's gonna be a huge reason why. What's a great pick-up.
Grunwald for president...The man is hands down the exec. of the year..Now it's up to Mike -- he's finally got the pieces. As long as all of our key players remain healthy, he's gotta make this work. No more excuses for this guy.
I can't wait to get these guy's again...Can't wait to get Jersey again too...That loss the other night still ticks me off.
Last edited by finestrg; Feb 24, 2012 at 00:25.
You guys are just impossible....
Why is when the Knicks lose do so many people jump on the negative....
we lost to the Heat.......right now the best team in the NBA. We came after beating up on Atlanta.
Now its Danotnio's fault....
Personally I am glad LIN got his ass kicked.....this is one game ....if we expect to make it far in the playoffs the Heat will be a team we need to beat......better to learn now.....even with his crap game we were down by 4 at halftime....
If we won the game with the exact same subbing order you would praise Dantonio....we lose and u crucify.....
TG for the some of the bandwagon Lin.Knick fans.....at least they appreciate...
it is ALL STAR BREAK and as of now we are the 7th seed after a crap start. We found a PG. Davis getting better....Smith is a Knicks....Fields out of his shell.....Shump a defensive stopper....Chandler a brilliant signing.....Novak better then williams,,,,,,,,,Jeffires best year ever....NOW WE WAIT FOR MELO AND STAT.

Getting fired, being refused a promotion you worked hard to deserve, not getting paid for regular time or overtime hours you have worked, being denied a benefit claim by your employer, being retaliated against for whistleblowing or being subject to harassment or discrimination in the workplace can be a violation of state and federal employment laws. State and federal law extends many rights, privileges, and protections to employers, but never at the expense of employees who may suffer illegal abuses or injustices in the name of profits.
The Employment Law Group® law firm is one of the premier employment law firms representing individuals from all over the United States and around the world in EEOC, Sarbanes-Oxley and other whistleblower cases against the government and publicly held U.S. corporations. The firm's attorneys have a collective 70 plus years of experience litigating on behalf of individuals against employers who disregard government wage and employment laws.
The TELG law firm is serious about protecting your rights
If you have been denied pay or overtime, been harassed at work, been refused a job or promotion based on age, sex, race, disability, military status, or religious belief, or if you are a whistleblower or if you know that your employer is cheating on federal contracts, contact us at The Employment Law Group® law firm, to schedule a consultation. We take employment law seriously.
Why would I want to hire a whistleblower lawyer?
The media has often alerted us to the illegality and wrongdoing in certain sectors of corporate America. These media stories highlight the importance of a few brave individuals within organizations who stand up to corporate abuse and wrongdoing. Known as whistleblowers, these brave individuals take great risks to protect others, indeed to protect us all.
Fortunately, the government has taken notice of the risks associated with blowing the whistle, and Congress and many states have taken steps to strengthen the laws protecting these brave individuals. There is now a myriad of laws protecting employees and outlawing retaliatory terminations, harassment, and other unfair employment practices. Many of these laws also provide monetary rewards for whistleblowers when the government is able to recover ill-gotten gains from employers.
While it's a fact that whistleblowers now have significant protections under state and federal laws, speaking out is not without significant risks and that's why executives, managers, and employees at all levels come to us, the TELG law firm. We understand the fears and concerns that plague whistleblowers. Our nationally recognized and experienced whistleblower lawyers help these brave individuals navigate the complex procedures required to properly bring a whistleblower claim.
If you are thinking about blowing the whistle or already have, The Employment Law Group® law firm can help. We understand your concerns, and have the knowledge and experience to help you through each step. From the beginning, we'll be there to protect you from retaliation, to take action against retaliators, and to ensure your rights, your dignity, and your career are protected. We'll fight to make sure that you receive any rewards that you are entitled to. We have taken on some of the largest employers in the United States, and with our expertise, we'll make sure that you are afforded every possible level of protection under the law.

Mark Albury: Silence is goldenMarch 25,2013
I have been known to possess a power called the curse. The way it works is this: I will make a borderline stupid observation, and as a result bad things will happen directly related to that observation.
One of the most famous examples of the curse raising its ugly head occurred when I took my three sons all of us diehard Yankees fans to a game in the Bronx. The Yankees were behind by a run in the bottom of the ninth inning, with the bases loaded and only one out. The crowd was in a frenzy as Derek Jeter came up to the plate in a prime position to get a single, drive in two runs and give the home team the win.
As fans rose to their feet and started a deafening chant of JETER! JETER! JETER! I looked over to my sons and shouted, You know what would really quiet this crowd down? If Jeter hit into a double play! As soon as I uttered these words the Yankees captain grounded the ball to the shortstop, who turned a double play and ended the game.
My sons looked at me like I was personally responsible for every disaster since the War Between the States including Lincolns assassination, the Great Depression and the designated hitter rule. To this day they are convinced I was the cause of that Yankees loss. Now, whenever there is a situation where anything could possibly go wrong, my offspring instruct me not to say anything for fear that I will paint a worst-case scenario and the curse will occur.
The curse happened again last week. A friend and I had decided to take advantage of the late season storm and go for a nighttime snowshoe hike through the woods of Randolph. The area was not familiar to either of us, but I was not concerned.
A neat thing about snowshoeing is that you really cant get lost, I opined as I tightened my bindings and adjusted my poles. Thus the groundwork was laid for the return of the curse.
We put on our headlamps and I started out in the lead. I made a point of acting like I knew exactly where I was going. And to a certain degree I did. I just kept making left turns with the theory that thats what NASCAR drivers do, and I never heard of one of them getting lost during a race.
In the beginning our tracks were the only tracks in the snow. But then we joined other snowshoe tracks for a while. And then we joined a ski trail. Soon we had no hope of retracing our steps even if we wanted to. I was definitely starting to feel wed gone astray. On the sly I looked to the sky with the hope of using the stars to orient myself. Unfortunately, due to napping during numerous planetarium shows, all I could make out was Ursas belt, or was it Leos dog, or maybe Orions little dipper...
Are we lost? my friend asked.
Lost is a relative term. With the same twisted logic of Steven Wrights observation that anywhere is within walking distance if you have the time, you are really only lost when you admit it to yourself.
Are we lost? she asked again.
Were not lost until we decide we want to go back to the car and we dont know how to get there, I replied with confidence.
Im getting cold, she said. I want to start back.
In that case, were lost and were going to die, I stated. I made an attempt to soften the blow of this terrible news.
The worst thing we can do is panic, I said in a calm voice. Forget about the bears, the packs of coyotes, and the demented serial killers who may be lurking in these woods. Lets just keep moving.
For the next 45 minutes we hiked up and down hills, around trees and over stumps until I was pretty sure we were going to run into some French-speaking Mounties.
It was cold and we didnt have food. We would be facing slow deaths of hypothermia and starvation. It could be months before our skeletal remains were ever found. I was hoping some family member would notice I was gone at least a few weeks before the bank called about missed mortgage payments.
Hey, theres the car.
Up ahead. Sure enough, we had made it back.
When we finally got in the car we were both relieved and exhausted. Well, I said, look at the bright side: Its not like were going to get a flat tire on the way back to the house or anything.
Ill have to write about the eventful ride home another time.

At times, excess ear wax can build up in our ears. If you have a build-up of wax, the following symptoms might present themselves.
According to the Mayo Clinic, some symptoms might include an earache, fullness in the ear, noise or ringing in your ear and decreased hearing.
If you think you have ear wax blockage you should see your doctor. The Mayo Clinic recommends that only doctors should remove the excess ear wax. The hospital warns against trying to remove the wax yourself.

Breakfast links: Ups and downs
"Metro trains carried about 18.5 million passengers in August, roughly 600,000 more than during the same month last year."
August 2010 has 22 weekdays. August 2009 had 21. There's the reason for your 3% increase in ridership right there.
As for MetroBus, it's dumb of them to say "it's the economy and not the fare increases." We all know that fare increases have a negative effect on ridership. It's really a combination of both - bus ridership was down in Q1 and Q2 as well, but it was down more in July/August.
But the really telling number is the budget is running $7 million below expectations -- and that includes both train and bus revenue.
I suspect the biggest factor is the relative stability of gasoline prices. No need to take metrorail on long, expensive trips. Combine that with Circulator $1 fares, real drop-offs in bus traffic, and not meeting growth goals in rail, you have a revenue problem.
So we are talking about 3.5 million a month below expectations; contra the fare hike was supposed to bring in about 9 million a month.
BeyondDC sounds like a starchitect. I imagine that is how they would describe/defend their buildings. Unique and Interesting don't equal good.
@ Metrobus ridership down, rail ridership up: Makes sense. Unemployment is high under (formerly) lower-income folks. Statistically, the take the bus more than all the white collar folks who metro in from the suburbs.
@ many exuburban houses will never regain their lost value. Lenders need to face this fact: It would be nice if banks did the same, and allowed loan modifications. Even just refis would be nice. Anything would be nice. However, currently, banks seem to be rewarded for refusing to do anything for the folks that bailed them out. Thanks government regulation!
Now, granted, things would be bad if we got rows of buildings all built up to their height limits (especially if they have no setbacks). We need to work on regulation to prevent that from happening any more than it already has, even if it means modest increases to the height limit. It's still entirely possible to build "canyons" even with the current limits.
As I posted on Matt's site . . . One problem with raising a height limit is that it immediately raises the value (and thus sales price) of every parcel it covers. As a result, new developers *have* to build taller (and often charge the same amounts) just to get a return on their income.
In such a situation, the height increase only serves to enrich the current landowners without much impact on future lessees or investors.
Of similar vein, take a look at downtown Atlanta. For years, there was no height limit of any kind, and so every parcel in the area was so "over"valued as a result. Thus, no one could afford to buy a parcel unless he planned to build a skyscraper. Office rents weren't kept down by this -- on the contrary, they stayed high because buildings downtown (which had to be tall to bring a return given the high land values) were only built as Class A trophy structures.
This forced a gap-toothed layout with 70-storey ego buildings adjacent to parking lots.
A doubling of building heights would double the shaddows--the percentage decline in the amount of street in direct sunlight would depend on direction and width of roadway (as well as time of day) but presumably it would be near 100% in some places.
The amount of blue one sees when they look up would also decline, albeit less than proportionately.
Joey: Vancouver's Larry Beasley talked about how to deal with that when he spoke here. He suggested that instead of just raising the limit, DC can get the ability to grant targeted increases in exchange for amenities. Therefore, the landowner isn't inherently entitled to the extra value, they have to do something that shares the extra value with society in order to exploit it.
by David Alpert on Oct 20, 2010 10:16 am • link • report
It's very clear that Paris was on L'Enfant's mind when he designed DC. Paris is proof enough that a large urban area can exist and be successful without a huge number of tall buildings.
Like I said earlier: We can revisit this discussion once we've built on all of our empty lots, and have a low vacancy rate. I don't foresee that happening anytime soon.
And you have to say thank you to WMATA and the new manager for putting that information out there in the public.
Direct link:
For example, while July and August of 2010 was down form last year, it was even more down from two years ago:
FY2011 (2010): July 10.4, August 10.5
FY2010 (2009) JUly 11.8, August 11.2 (what was reported)
FY2009 (2008) July 12.1, August 11.7
2 million bus riders a month missing.
Yes, that's true, but Dr. Beasley also stated that D.C. should explicitly declare that no changes by made to the current height limits in the old city of Washington, which includes all of downtown. Leveraging community amenities with the right to build higher structures would only be viable, then, in areas like Columbia Heights or Anacostia; however, I doubt the willingness of developers to build Class A commercial office space in those areas.
The best hope for D.C. is development plans in the Navy Yard/Ballpark area, NoMa, and eastern portions of downtown like the 395 scar. In those areas, office vacancy rates are twice the level seen other established areas of downtown; space is not the issue. I believe much of the rise in rents is caused by artificial bubbles (such as the Feds holding on to large swaths of property). For example, imagine what will happen to all the prime office space that will be released by the Department of Homeland Security when they all move to St. Elizabeth's (by my count, DHS occupies three entire office buildings downtown, not including their massive Complex in Van Ness). In addition, what is going to happen to all the vacant office space held by the military in Crystal City when BRAC (stupidly) moves those jobs to Ft. Belvoir?
People have mortgage needs and banks are refusing to even talk about what people want. ARMS are expiring and people want to talk to the bank about a fixed rate. Banks says NO. People want to move and keep their mortage, but swap the equity (for equal value). Banks say NO. Don't even want to talk. Not even offering a 25% rate. Nothing zippo.
By refusing to even talk to customers, they are forcing people to rethink their options, and some will conclude that foreclosure is the only option. It is very odd.
@ Michelle Rhee got a job offer to be state education head in New Jersey: Good for her. DC: Where people get fired for doing their job.
Not trying to say you're wrong in saying bus ridership is trending downwards, but July and August 2008 were some of the highest ridership months in recent history - it was when gas prices were at record levels.
In other words, Paris didn't have its tall buildings when L'Enfant planned Washington, and he didn't incorporate that idea into the city.
@MLD; true. But I suspect gas prices has more to do with rail revenue, not ridership. Again, $4 gas makes long (and expensive) metrorail rides sensible, but bus rides (concentrated in DC and PG county) are shorter and less gas sensitive.
Actually, my take on the fare issue was that rail riders are much more likely to have their fares subsidized (much higher percentage are federal employees and are not vulnerable to unemployment and are elastic to fare increases). Captive riders that pay for their rides were much more likely to get their jobs cut and were likely to travel less.
The population density of Paris is 10 times that of DC. Parisians live small. *Very small* (a friend of mine had 16m^2=170 sq ft). It is unlikely that Americans of any kind are willing to live that small. Parisians live so small that they basically only sleep at home, and live in bars and restaurants. The same is true in London and Dublin.
In English, the word 'pub' comes from public house, truly the living room of people who's house was too small to live in. In French, the cafe is where you have coffee for breakfast and lunch.
The government who is encouraging them by picking up all the refis through Fannie and Freddy. It's incredible. To mingle into the foreclosure business, I think that the people will not allow another bail out of the banks when judges will start nullifying mortgages that were foreclosed fraudulently. There is plenty of jurisprudence, and banks will have nowhere to go.
But I suspect gas prices has more to do with rail revenue, not ridership. Again, $4 gas makes long (and expensive) metrorail rides sensible, but bus rides (concentrated in DC and PG county) are shorter and less gas sensitive.
I assume you mean "not [bus] ridership" here. Actually, in Q3 2008 rail ridership increased 5% over the same period in 2007. Bus ridership increased 5.7%. Increasing gas prices drove ridership up on all modes, for different reasons. Perhaps bus has a different threshold than just driving price > bus ride price - convenience, trip time, etc?
I think the bigger picture is how poor the estimates are; take a number and draw a straight line up. Not surprising, but very little understanding of their customers and what price increases may or may do.
i'm sure that some of the lost bus ridership started riding bikes, but doubt it would have been statistically significant. yet. in the future, if/when DC ever becomes bikable by normal people -- watch out -- you raise the bus fare, you'll see a big spike in bike ridership.

Game 162: That's all, folks.
It's been an interesting season. I'm upset we're not going to the playoffs, because I would have liked to see Derek Jeter's final season end in a slightly less depressing fashion, but at least we ended the year with a win and finished above .500, which were two things I wanted to see happen above all else. I'll still be maintaining this blog throughout the playoffs, and then intermittently through the off-season when stories of note happen. Also, congratulations are in order for Ryan Zimmerman, he of the Washington Nationals — there's nothing quite like waiting until the last game of the season to throw a no-hitter, I suppose.
Michael Pineda pitched our final game of the season, ending with a final line of 6.1 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, and 10 K. His stats for the season were a 5-5 record with 1.89 ERA. Not bad. Esmil Rogers, who relieved him, didn't do such a good job, coughing up a further four runs, bringing the score to 9-5. Thankfully none of our other pitchers gave up any further runs, and we were able to maintain the lead. I'm never too fussed about how we win, just that we do.
Derek Jeter played his final game as a Yankee yesterday afternoon, exiting in the 3rd inning after getting an RBI single. His last home game ended with an RBI single, and his last game in general ended with one as well. Lovely bookends. As it was, the offense was pretty well spread-out amongst the lineup, Jeter included. Jose Pirela went 2-4 with 2 RBI, Ichiro went 1-3 with 2 RBI, Chris Young went 2-4, Chase Headley went 1-4 with an RBI, and Austin Romine went 1-2 with an RBI. Overall, a very wonderful effort from everyone, and I liked seeing that we didn't limp into the end of the season. Onwards and upwards!
Game 161: Gotta keep it interesting.
If there's anything we've learned about the Yankees over the many decades of their history, it's that they like to keep their fans on their toes, not letting them anticipate what's happening next. A nice, close victory on Friday….a blowout on Saturday. Who only knows what we're going to get tonight, but it better be in the form of a Yankees victory, that much I know for fact.
Tanaka had a bad day. I think we can all admit that. The opposing team putting up an eight-run 2nd inning will do to that to you every time. The rest of the pitchers we tossed up there yesterday afternoon weren't much better, but they at least didn't push the Red Sox toward 20 runs or something. The three errors didn't help our cause either, and I'm sure Tanaka and the relievers (which sounds like a bad 80s New Wave band) didn't appreciate them. The good thing is, if you can take any good away from this, only six of the runs were earned, so no one's ERA took too big of a hit. Silver linings, y'all.
The offense was pretty atrocious, not actually getting anything going until the last few innings, but by then it was too late. Ichiro went 2-5, Cervelli went 2-3 after coming in to PH for Derek Jeter who left with a tweaked hamstring, Chase Headley went 2-5, Chris Young went 2-4 with an RBI, and Stephen Drew went 1-3 with 2 RBI. All of our usual regulars didn't play, as there was no real point to putting them out on the field. I used to call this, back in the Joe Torre era, as the "House Money Lineup." Meaning, you're essentially conceding to the other team. I mean, when you smack 12 hits, but only manage four runs, going 3-12 with RISP, it can be argued how much you're really trying. Let's just hope Sunday night's game is a blistering Yankees victory so that Derek Jeter can exit both at home and on the road, with a win.
Game 160: This will never get old.
I love beating the Red Sox. There's such a joy, such a feeling of whimsy that overtakes me whenever it happens, I'm always left waiting for it to happen again. I know that the games are meaningless for both teams, and that no matter what, the standings won't be affected, but that doesn't mean I don't want us to whip their whiny asses into a nice lather, then dump them in the fetid Charles.
Chris Capuano did much better tonight than he did during his last start. His final line was 6.2 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, and 5 K. Against any team that's great, but against the Red Sox, that's absolutely hysterical. Our relievers combined for 1 H and 1 ER, along with 4 K, garnering David Robertson his 39th save of the season, making up for last night's oopsie that no one is actually all that upset about anyway.
The offense wasn't all that much to write home about, but it got the job done, and we're guaranteed to finish with a winning record, and considering the games are meaningless, Joe didn't even play the A Squad. Francisco Cervelli went 2-3 with an RBI….which is basically the only interesting thing about the lineup tonight. Tomorrow's game is probably going to be similar as far as the lineup and pitching are concerned, as there's no use burning through the good players when the season ends Sunday. I just hope Sunday night's game gets 100% effort, as that's Derek Jeter's absolute last game, home or away, and I'd like him to go out in style, if at all possible. I want a 15-inning pitcher's duel that lasts 5 hours and requires everyone to pitch, including position players. Make it a real, legendary Yankees/Red Sox game.
Game 159: Captain Clutch.
I've called Derek Jeter "Captain Clutch" many a time, and it's never been more appropriate than right now. It was only fitting that Derek Jeter should score our first run of the night, then our last in the bottom of the 9th. It was his last home game, the last time he'd ever wear the navy blue and white pinstripes in the Bronx, and in an almost scripted fashion, just like his 3,000th hit being a home run, he wins the game for us. On the first pitch, no less. When he announced his retirement before the season started, I reflected on the fact that I became a fan in 1994, before he joined the team. In those 20 years, I've only known one Yankees shortstop. It'll be strange as hell to see someone else taking the field next year, no #2 hovering in the on-deck circle, but I suppose that's what goes through the minds of baseball fans when their favorite players decides to hang up their cleats. BTW, how extremely emotional and awesome was it for him to be greeted afterwards by Joe Torre, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera, Bernie Williams, and Tino Martinez? They were all key cogs in the dynasty era, and they were all there to usher the last one in. I won't lie, I teared up. I also found it incredibly classy that the Orioles were applauding the whole time. They're going to the playoffs, so this loss didn't affect them, but they still lost….yet they all stood at the top of the dugout, clapping. Class acts, those boids.
I don't even care that David Robertson blew the save. DO NOT CARE. It's probably the only time in the history of my baseball fandom that I've ever been happy to see such a scene practically dropped into a hitter's lap. Good on you, D-Rob, that was marvelous. If I was a more cynical sort, I'd say you did that on purpose. He also lucked into the win as well, so there you have it. Hiroki Kuroda pitched a masterful eight innings, giving up only 2 ER on 3 H, walking none, and striking out nine. Everyone deserves a steak dinner, yes, even David Robertson. He allowed Mystique and Aura to take the stage one final time.
The game was all about Derek from the start, so we'll lead off with him – he went 2-5 with 3 RBI. Brian McCann, interestingly enough, got 2 RBI without a hit. That can be done, you know. Jose Pirela went 2-4. There's your offense. It wasn't much, but who the hell cares?
On a personal note, I'm going to miss Derek Jeter. He's a great guy, a class act all around, he was never embroiled in scandals and bad press. He's the kind of player professional sports need more of. Enjoy retirement, Jetes. You've earned it.
Game 158: Welp, that's it then.
So that's how the world ends; not with a bang, but a whimper. We are officially eliminated from any and all playoff spots, which means our season is basically over. Derek Jeter's last home game is tomorrow, his last ever game is on Sunday night. If we're going to win any of the next four games, please let them be those. One of the people I follow on Twitter tweeted an interesting graphic concerning the last time the Yankees missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons —
For the uninitiated, that's what gas prices were like the last time that happened, which should give you an idea of how rare an occurrence it is. Gas under a buck…..where oh where did the time go.
Our pitching sucked this afternoon, and there's no nice way of putting it. Our starter, Shane Greene, lasted only 3.2 innings, giving up 6 ER on 7 H. Our bullpen gave up a further 3 ER on 8 H. It was just an all-around sh!tshow, so I'm not sure if yesterday was an aberration or what. Claiborne and Huff were the only two relievers who didn't crap the bed, so good for them.
The offense was as stale and pathetic as the pitching. Once again, the top part of the lineup had all the hits/runs, with one exception; Stephen Drew went 1-2 with an RBI, and he bats sixth. Chase Headley went 3-4 with an RBI, Mark Teixeira went 2-4 with 3 RBI, and that's basically anything of consequence.
Game 157: Let down.
Well, we made a game of it, and I suppose in the end, that's what counts. We had been down 5-1 early, but managed to storm back in the later innings, but we fell a bit short. Our elimination number from any and all postseason activity is now 1, which, well…..I can't say I'm all that upset about, really. I knew it would take an act of nature or something else wildly unlikely for us to make the playoffs this year, so I've always had that in the back of my mind. It makes it hurt less when it becomes an eventuality.
What can I say about Brandon McCarthy? At least he didn't walk anybody? He struck out eight? If only the front half of his line (11 H, 5 ER) looked as good as the back half. He also pitched into the 6th, so that's something else too. Rich Hill, Esmil Rogers, Dellin Betances, and David Robertson all pitched in relief, giving up a further six hits, but no runs, no walks, and they struck out three. If only they'd pitched the entire game.
Our offense went back to being woeful, with yet again, barring a couple of exceptions, all of the offense coming from the first third of the batting order. Brett Gardner went 1-4, Derek Jeter went 1-5, and Brian McCann went 2-4 with 2 RBI. Both Chris Young and Stephen Drew collected RBIs, but they had no hits. We were 0-8 with RISP and had 7 LOB. You can't win games that way. I don't even think the 1927 Yankees could win a game like that. There's two more games to this series, one this afternoon, and then Derek Jeter's last home game tomorrow night, and if we're going to win either of them….please win tomorrow night's game.
Game 156: We did WHAT to the Orioles?!
The Yankees never fail to amuse me sometimes. The Orioles are arguably the best team in the American League, yet we manage to one-hit them, at home, in the last week of the season. It's never a dull day with us, is it? We're four games back from the second Wild Card slot, and while I don't think we're going to quite make it, I'm at least grateful that we're putting some effort into ending the season on a positive note, rather than just shuffling and limping toward the end.
The pitching tonight was superb, as you no doubt already noticed. Michael Pineda pitched 7.1 innings, giving up 1 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, and 8 K. Shawn Kelley, Rich Hill, and David Phelps pitched the final 1.2 innings, giving up no hits, walking one, and striking out three. It was absolutely dominant performance, and it was great to see. Well, listen to. At least in my case, anyway.
Compared to the last game, where all the hits were confined to the top of the batting order, this time nearly everyone got in on the action, with only Gardner, McCann, and Young not getting a hit…..which is funny because Gardner and McCann were two of the three batters I was talking about earlier. Derek went 1-3 with 3 RBI, Chase Headley went 2-4 with an RBI, and Jose Pirela went 2-3 with an RBI. So all around, a lot of great effort from everyone involved. Well done. Let's do it again tonight.
Game 155: Welcome back, Tanaka.
If you sang that to the tune of "Welcome Back, Kotter," give yourself a hand, because that's what I wanted you to do. Masahiro Tanaka made his first start in what felt like ages, after sitting out with an injury. We could have used him a few months ago, but it's better to have him healthy now so he'll be 100% for next season, instead of pitching through it anyway and being useless by February. As you know, I want the team to finish above .500, so every little bit helps.
For coming off an injury that had him out for a while, he did a fantastic job — 5.1 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K. He's really going to be an incredibly solid part of the rotation next season, if we can just keep him encased in bubble wrap the whole time. Warren, Betances, and Robertson pitched in relief, with D-Rob picking up his 38th save of the season. They did a great job, and since I seldom have opportunity to praise them, I'm doing it now.
Well, one thing I can say for the offense is at least we didn't leave 11 men on base or go 3-13 with RISP. We went 2-8, but that's still better. Brett Gardener went 2-5 with 1 RBI, Brian McCann went 2-3 with 3 RBI, Derek Jeter went 2-4 with an RBI, and Ichiro went 2-4. Unfortunately, with the exception of Ichiro, all of our offense was concentrated in the first three batters. Gardy leads off, Jeter hits second, and McCann hits third. No one after him, except for Ichiro, got a hit. That's pretty damn depressing. I'm glad we won and all, don't get me wrong, but that's a whole lot of nothing from literally everyone else. We start a series against Baltimore next, and the last game of the series on Thursday will be Derek Jeter's final home game — we close the season against the Red Sox in Boston, and won't that be a delight. So, four more home games for Mr. November. Where does the time go?
Game 154: Well, that was nice while it lasted.
The Yankees could only manage three in a row, I'm afraid. Any more and they'd all be liable to blow up or something. We're only four games above .500, so my challenge for them is to finish better than 82-82. Even if it's 83-81, I don't care. Just finish above .500.
Chris Capuano didn't have the best night, lasting only 5.2 innings, giving up 4 ER on 5 H, walking four while striking out only two. At least he didn't give up any HRs, yeah? Our bullpen was okay, they didn't completely sh!t the bed, but they did give up a further 2 ER and 5 H, so it wasn't a sparkling performance by any means. There were other reasons we eventually ended up losing that had nothing to do with the pitching, as poor as it was.
The offense has been stagnant all season, so that in and of itself wasn't shocking. I expect us to barely do anything at the plate anymore. What annoyed me is we managed 11 hits, a feat for this team, and yet we scored only three runs. We were 3-13 with RISP and left 11 men on base. That's not going to win you ballgames, whether you're a good team, a poor team, or a middling team. When are we ever going to clock that many hits during one game? You need to capitalize on that. Brett Gardner went 2-5, Derek Jeter went 2-5 with an RBI, Brian McCann went 1-4 with an RBI, Ichiro went 2-4, and Francisco Cervelli went 1-4 with an RBI. Let's win today if we can. That's IF we can.
Game 153: Wow, three in a row!
I'd like to think the Yankees secretly read my blog, thus understanding just how pissed off I've been at them all season, and now they're trying to butter me up by playing smart baseball and winning games. I'm on to you, fellas. *taps side of nose* It's just too bad they're figuring this out in the last two weeks of September, instead of several months ago. Imagine how different our playoff outlook would be then?
Hiroki Kuroda pitched tonight, kicking all kinds of Blue Jay ass, lasting 6.2 innings, giving up 2 ER on 7 H, with 0 BB and 7 K. Outman, Rogers, and Warren pitched the remaining 2.1 innings, giving up a combined 2 H and 0 ER, walking one and striking out three. Warren picked up his 3rd save of the season, as well.
As far as offense goes, it wasn't great, but it got the job done, which in the end is all that's really important. Jacoby Ellsbury went 2-3 with 3 RBI before leaving the game with a strained hamstring, but since it's September 19, it's not as crushing a blow as it otherwise would have been. I still hope he's alright and won't have any issues come Spring Training next year. Derek Jeter went 2-4, and Brian McCann went 1-4 with an RBI. On a personal note, I can't honestly say I know why Carlos Beltran played tonight, given the fact his wife lost their unborn child. If ever there was a time when it was perfectly acceptable to sit the rest of the season, it would be for that. My good thoughts and positive vibes are with them both right now.

Week-end Book Review: What Happened This Summer by Paul YeeSaturday, July 20th, 2013
Paul Yee,
What Happened This Summer
Tradewind Books, 2006.
Ages 12-18
Reviewed July 2007 by PaperTigers Editor Marjorie Coughlan, For more reviews by the PaperTigers team, click here.
Paul Yee, recipient of numerous awards, including the Governor General's Literary Award for his novel Ghost Train, focuses on the modern-day lives and concerns of Chinese-Canadians in this, his latest novel for young adults. So what did happen this summer? A general response would be that each teen-age protagonist came of age, grew up – and we, the reader, are privy to that process, because each experience is related in the first person and so we read what is going on in their heads as well as the unfolding events.
Yee keeps the reader on their toes: there is no warning that the narrator is going to change from chapter to chapter and since we are not introduced formally, we even have to work out whether the "I" is male or female. I was half-expecting the narrators to return in cycles – instead, we catch odd glimpses of them as they happen to pass through someone else's story. Indeed, each story could stand alone as a short story, a vignette of the challenges and concerns faced by each character: parental expectations and pressure, school, homosexuality, racial stereotypes, sex, death – in other words the full gamut of the issues considered relevant by the majority of teenagers today. Yee's focus on the Chinese-Canadian experience adds an extra facet to these subjects.
So, again, what happened this summer? While each person's story could stand alone, Yee is actually setting up the strings of his narrative to be pulled together in the final chapter. This watershed time in all their lives reaches its peak at that point and it is as powerful as it is unexpected. However, life does go on and, as is so often the case, it will only be with hindsight that each narrator will come to realise the significance of that period in their lives: something beyond the book's telling that is up to readers to interpret for themselves.
A thought-provoking book that will appeal to young adults who are themselves on the brink of making life-affecting decisions about their own futures.
Do read our 2003 interview with Paul Yee here and our most recent interview with him in 2011 here.

The crackdown on a homeless camp under Interstate 90 is on hold - for now.
Spokane city officials said last week, they would clear people out from under the freeway this week. But, they're waiting for more homeless outreach before moving forward.
The homeless camp is the first thing some visitors and tourists see as they enter the Lilac City onto North Division. Tents, trash and even a port-a-potty now sit in the gateway to the city.
We met up with Ian Knight as he set up his tent for the night. He's trying to find an apartment, but can't afford it and has other problems finding permanent housing.
"There are things out there to go to, but I can't," Knight explains. "Because I've got issues talking to people and big crowds and stuff. So, I like to keep to myself."
The city says each of the homeless people under the freeway have now been interviewed by members of the Spokane Homeless Coalition. Instead of just kicking people out, the city wants to know the how and why of how they ended up there.
"What's stopping you from getting into housing, what can we do to help," Bob Peeler from SNAP's housing program asked.
Peeler spent the last week collecting those answers. He says there are about 45 homeless people camping out under the bridge. Most are either in their early 20's or middle-aged. 80% have disabilities - mental or physical - and chemical dependencies.
"Folks have got to be ready to make the move into permanent housing," Peeler said. "They've got to be ready to make the move into treatment."
Police and social services plan to move into the area Thursday. Officers will give people 24 hours notice to leave, hoping more of the homeless will take services they've previously refused.
Peeler says it's important to remember these are people, who must be dealt with as individuals.

Freedom New Mexico
Two of seven people accused of participating in a home invasion spree in Clovis and Portales last summer have been convicted of charges.
District Attorney Matt Chandler said Jeremy Enriquez, 20, and Oscar Hernandez, 17, were found guilty by a Clovis jury Tuesday of charges stemming from their crime spree.
They were accused of breaking into a Clovis home July 28 with two other juveniles and attacking the owner while burglarizing the home.
Chandler said Enriquez fired gunshots at the homeowner, who was running away from the house.
Hernandez was convicted of kidnapping, aggravated burglary, conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary and concealing his identity.
Enriquez was convicted of kidnapping, aggravated burglary, conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, intimidation of a state's witness, and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Enriquez faces 38 years in prison.
Chandler also said he will seek adult sanctions against Hernandez. If sentenced as an adult, Hernandez faces up to 24 1/2 years in prison.

iPad dock (not just under cabinet).
By GeorgeT
from Houston, TX
Best Uses
It fits the iPad mini, but only by connection to the top and bottom, as opposed to the sides (the could be easily changed in the design by the clamp being allowed to close further). The clamp has a distinct "top" and "bottom." If both were of the current "top" design, it would work as well and be more aesthetically pleasing in the horizontal position. The piece is good, sturdy, versatile, and useful. It could, however, be improved, as suggested
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice design
By KJ Cautious
from Texas
Its a little bulky. I wanted it to hold my iPad for recipes. I wouldn't leave the iPad in it because it goes face down and I would be concerned about it falling out of the cradle. But for temporary placement it will work well.

The Icky Mouse Club
I stomped into the house, flicked on the lights and watched them scatter while my pal nonchalantly snapped a pic of the tiny footprints left in the bowl of bacon fat that I'd stupidly left out on the counter. To be candid, the dog snagged a few mice and I admired her tenacity, skills and bravura, while apologizing to the critters and tossing them back into the field, where they belong. I prepared a few "snacks" for my new roommates and turned in, mildly disturbed by the scratching and squeaking that filled the night air. Making a mental note to check the contents of future incoming boxes, I informed the Icky Mouse Club that I'd do my best to spare their lives in the future. Why? Because we like you. "Live and let live" I promised, but please, not in the house.

Question of the Day
I was thinking, we create blogs that ask a specific question... so how about a question blog?
Anyone can ask any question.
If no one asks any questions... I'll try to come on everyday with a new one one.
So today's question is - Who has influenced your life, the most?
For me, I would have to say, against my republican upbringing... but the leaders in the 60's - Martin Luther King Jr, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Rosa Parks, etc - who spoke & acted about social change for the better. They inspired a generation, including me. I also have been influenced by Abraham Lincoln, since like the 4th or 5th grade.
Sh*t happens... but don't worry, it usually happens to me.

I think I may have created a unique situation for myself... I have a four week old infant, and have been successfully pumping 80% of her feedings since coming home from the hospital. We have been supplementing with the occasional formula bottle here and there, especially at night (for more sleep on both our parts). She is gaining weight, happy and healthy, and doing fine. However, in the last few days, my milk supply has all but disappeared. I went from pumping 5 oz every 3-4 hours to pumping less than an ounce in an entire day. My daughter hasn't suffered- we've been giving her more formula- but she is in the midst of treatment for thrush, so I am hesitant to try putting her on the breast, as my breasts are unaffected due to the pumping and not latching.
What can I do to regain my milk supply? We weren't planning on having a formula fed baby, and I don't want to give up!
The LCs I've spoken with seem to not have a lot of advice due to the strictly pumping routine I've got going on. It was working up until a few days ago. What do I do?

- Abstract
- We study the relation between molecular gas and star formation in a volume-limited sample of 222 galaxies from the COLD GASS survey, with measurements of the CO(1-0) line from the IRAM 30m telescope. The galaxies are at redshifts 0.025<z<0.05 and have stellar masses in the range 10.0<log(M*/Msun)<11.5. The IRAM measurements are complemented by deep Arecibo HI observations and homogeneous SDSS and GALEX photometry. A reference sample that includes both UV and far-IR data is used to calibrate our estimates of star formation rates from the seven optical/UV bands. The mean molecular gas depletion timescale, tdep(H2), for all the galaxies in our sample is 1 Gyr, however tdep(H2) increases by a factor of 6 from a value of ~0.5 Gyr for galaxies with stellar masses of 10^10 Msun to ~3 Gyr for galaxies with masses of a few times 10^11 Msun. In contrast, the atomic gas depletion timescale remains contant at a value of around 3 Gyr. This implies that in high mass galaxies, molecular and atomic gas depletion timescales are comparable, but in low mass galaxies, molecular gas is being consumed much more quickly than atomic gas. The strongest dependences of tdep(H2) are on the stellar mass of the galaxy (parameterized as log tdep(H2)= (0.36+/-0.07)(log M* - 10.70)+(9.03+/-0.99)), and on the specific star formation rate. A single tdep(H2) versus sSFR relation is able to fit both "normal" star-forming galaxies in our COLD GASS sample, as well as more extreme starburst galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs), which have tdep(H2) < 10^8 yr. Normal galaxies at z=1-2 are displaced with respect to the local galaxy population in the tdep(H2) versus sSFR plane and have molecular gas depletion times that are a factor of 3-5 times longer at a given value of sSFR due to their significantly larger gas fractions.

Can you combine fenugreek tincture and more milk plus?
Can you combine fenugreek tincture and more milk plus?
As far as I know, yes. You know you're getting enough fenugreek when your sweat and urine start to have a maple syrup odor.
I know that you can combine fenugrek and More milk plus, but more milk plus contains a lot of fenugreek already. I heard that it is not true that you have to smell like maple syrup to know that you are getting enough. A lot of women do smell maple, but if you don't it is probably still working.
Check Motherlove's website and see if there is any info about it. One word of caution, fenugreek can make asthma symptoms worse so use with caution if that is an issue for you.

Thanks for that info I am an asthmatic.
I have asthma too and am taking Motherlove's More Milk Special Blend for over 3 months now. I do not have asthma symptoms very often anyway so I figured it was worth the risk for me. Clearly, you will need to evaluate based on your own condition. What I have noticed is that the herbs themselves do not cause me to have an attack, but if I am around a trigger my symptoms are worse than before. For example, what would have given me a cough and wheeze before is turning into a full-blown attack where I need my rescue inhaler. Just FYI...

I have found myself using the inhaler daily but thought just cause season change n more allergens, now I am wondering? But my lo needs the milk.
