Accident results in fatality
GERRARDSTOWN – A trash truck driver working for Apple Valley Waste died Thursday morning after being struck by a pickup truck in Gerrardstown.
At about 8:38 a.m. Thursday, Deputy Thomas Funk of the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department responded to a report of a traffic accident involving a pedestrian who was struck in the 800 block of Dominion Road in Gerrardstown.
When Funk arrived at the scene, personnel from the South Berkeley Volunteer Fire Department and the Berkeley County Emergency Ambulance Authority were treating the man for his injuries and transported him to City Hospital in Martinsburg.
The man later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at City Hospital, police said.
Once the accident victim's next of kin have been notified, the name of the deceased will be released, police said.
A preliminary investigation determined the man, who was working as a driver for Apple Valley Waste, exited his vehicle and was struck by a green Ford F-250 pickup truck traveling southbound on Dominion Road.
The accident is still under investigation by Berkeley County Sheriff's Department and the West Virginia State Police, police said.

intro and request for a patient mentor H340
Hi, - my request is to link up with a mentor who is knowledgeable with H340 and H120, but more importantly - has the patience to put up with and help guide me from A to Z - in getting my H340 and H120 back up and running
I can follow instructions - I can understand the principles of things and can take things apart - often successfully putting them back together - but I just have a blank when it comes to knowledge about computer systems - hardware V software V firmware etc..
My favourite -H340 recently started skipping tracks and only partially playing them - so - not really sure what I did but it kinda goes like
reformat - to clear disk
plug into computer (windows 7) it is recognised only if its open in boot loader ? versus actually switching on in iriver mod.
I put a music file back onto the iriver - drag n drop as normal - it play's the file via my computer when the H340 is plugged in
But - remove the H340 - power it up - go look for the music folder and the only thing is a folder with Japanese lingo - which will not open and the H340 then locks - needing to push the reset button to get it to switch off
now I've ordered a new drive - soon to arrive - but it's all black magic to me - this is where I need a kind and patient mentor to assist me through the process and get this great machine back running
my H120 is another story for later - basically wrong or reverse polarity charger installed = something fried - suspect in need of a few circuit board replacements - or a new circuit board ?
fingers crossed you can help
ok H340 is sorted - thanks to subscribers in the post I river HD 340 replaced drive not working
using FAT32formatter - changed from a NTFS to FAT32
so I must have accidentally converted it to NTFS when I previously formatted the drive using windows
no idea what this means but suspect it is like a language compatibility thing ? - anyway it works
Hi Norman,
Good to see you've got it going. I'm not sure about the later versions but windows never used to be able to format drives above 32Gb as a FAT32 file system and the iriver only recognizes Fat32's.
In regards to your first post
The repair of fried players may be possible thread from the old misticriver forums http://web.archive.org/web/200807250...-possible.html
The schematics for your player http://fvd.ru/?go=drivers&folder=iRi...ram\H%20series you may have to right click and "copy link location , then paste it into your address bar if the page wont open.
and the rockbox page of the components http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IriverHardwareComponents
Hopefully something there might help you, best of luck.
thanks - ill look into this as another project - although the repair maybe outwith my ability - I can source someone to do this for me - or alternatively look for a 2nd hand circuit board

Cisco Cookbook
Author's note: While researching and writing Cisco Cookbook, we discovered several tasty IOS features that we had never heard of before. One of these is called IP Multicast Helper, which allows the router to convert broadcast application packets into multicasts so that they can be routed through the network. The router closest to the broadcast source converts the packets to multicasts, and the routers closest to the destination devices convert these multicast packets back into broadcasts. This can be extremely useful if you have to support a legacy broadcast-based application across your network.
You have a broadcast-based application that you want to treat as multicast so that it can cross the network.
Cisco has a special feature called an IP Multicast Helper, which you can use to convert broadcast packets to multicast packets. Then you can use PIM to send these packets throughout the network. At the last-hop routers you can then convert the multicast packets back to broadcast. This is useful for older broadcast-based applications that do not support multicast transmission.
Router1 is the first-hop router, or the one closest to the broadcast source,
which is on the interface
FastEthernet0/0. This converts
broadcast packets with UDP port
3535 received on this
interface into multicast packets in group
Router1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router1(config)#ip multicast-routing
Router1(config)#access-list 115 permit any any udp 3535
Router1(config)#access-list 115 deny any any udp
Router1(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0
Router1(config-if)#ip directed broadcast
Router1(config-if)#ip multicast helper-map broadcast 184.108.40.206 115
Router1(config)#ip pim sparse-dense-mode
Router1(config)#ip forward-protocol udp 3535
The last-hop router's configuration is similar, except that it must be configured to turn multicast packets for this group back into broadcasts:
Router2#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router2(config)#ip multicast-routing
Router2(config)#access-list 115 permit any any udp 3535
Router2(config)#access-list 115 deny any any udp
Router2(config)#interface Ethernet0
Router2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.9.1 255.255.255.0
Router2(config-if)#ip directed broadcast
Router2(config-if)#ip multicast helper-map 184.108.40.206 192.168.9.255 115
Router2(config-if)#ip pim sparse-dense-mode
Router2(config)#ip igmp join-group 220.127.116.11
Router2(config)#ip forward-protocol udp 3535
Before explaining this recipe in any detail, we would like to stress that the multicast helper feature should only be used as a temporary measure until a proper multicast application can be found. It tends to consume a lot of the router's CPU resources. And it can be difficult to troubleshoot application problems if the router is rewriting the packets. It is always preferable to use a native multicast application if possible.
The most important lines in this example are the ip multicast helper-map commands that are applied on the two routers. The command on Router1 converts broadcast to multicasts with a group
address of
Router1(config-if)#ip multicast helper-map broadcast 126.96.36.199 115
Then Router2 converts this group to the network broadcast address
192.168.9.255 of the destination network:
Router2(config-if)#ip multicast helper-map 18.104.22.168 192.168.9.255 115
End devices on the destination network can now receive the broadcast as if a device on this same segment had sent it.
This example doesn't convert all broadcasts received on the FastEthernet port
of Router1 to multicasts. It first applies the access list number
115 to
broadcasts that it receives. This picks out a single UDP port, number
3535, for conversion. If you wanted to convert other broadcasts received on this port as well, it is simply a matter of opening up this access list.
There are three additional commands in these configuration examples that are critical to the broadcast multicast conversion working properly. First is the ip forward-protocol command. The multicast conversion process is done in the router's CPU, so it cannot be fast switched. By default, the router will ignore all broadcasts except for a few important UDP ports such as NetBIOS. This command forces the routers to see the broadcast packets so that it can decide whether to process them.
Second, and related to this, is the ip directed-broadcast command. A directed broadcast is one
that is sent to a particular network or group of networks. So, for example,
Router2 in the recipe turns the multicast packet into the directed broadcast
with an address of
192.168.9.255. By default, a Cisco
router will drop all incoming directed broadcasts. So this needs to be enabled
on both routers. However, this command can be dangerous on public network
segments. There are several well-known DoS attacks, most notably the smurf and fraggle attacks, that take
advantage of directed broadcasts.
Finally, we have included a static IGMP Join on the destination interface. Recall that in Recipe 23.6 we used this command when the devices on this interface required a group but didn't implement IGMP properly. In this case, the devices on the segment don't even know that there is a multicast group to join. So we can use this command to ensure that this router receives the group. Otherwise the multicast packets will never reach Router2.
You should be careful when using multicast helper commands in a network that uses TTL scoping. Cisco doesn't provide a way to adjust the initial TTL setting on these multicast packets. So you may need to set up address-based boundaries (discussed in Recipe 23.11) to prevent these artificial multicasts from leaking out of the network.
One last point on the subject of broadcast to multicast conversion might be useful in some rare cases. If you have an application that is capable of sending multicasts, but have end devices that can only receive broadcasts, you might be able to use only the last-hop (Router2) configuration to get the packets to the receiving devices. Similarly, if you have a server that can only broadcast, but end devices that understand multicasts, you could conceivably use just the first-hop (Router1) configuration. However, it is unlikely that you will encounter such strange applications in any production network.
Recipe 23.6; Recipe 23.11
Author's note: To manage your network effectively, you need to be able to keep track of all of the important events that happen. In a small network, it is often sufficient to simply monitor the router syslog messages. But, in many networks there are too many of these messages to monitor in real time. This recipe provides one simple way of ensuring that the routers never send the unimportant messages.
You want to prevent the router from sending link up/down syslog messages for unimportant router interfaces.
Use the no logging event configuration commands to disable the logging of common interface-level messages:
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#interface Serial0/0
Router(config-if)#no logging event link-status
Router(config-if)#no logging event dlci-status-change
Router(config-if)#no logging event subif-link-status
By default, log messages are sent whenever a router interface status changes states. Generally, you want to see log messages that indicate that an interface status has changed, but there are times when it can be useful to disable these types of messages. For instance, dial interfaces may cycle up and down many times throughout the course of a normal day without being cause for concern. Suppressing these messages helps keep logs uncluttered and can prevent network management staff from wasting time responding to unnecessary trouble reports:
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial0, changed state to down
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0, changed state to down
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial0, changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0, changed state to up
This example shows the log messages that are sent when a router interface changes states from up to down and back to up. The no logging event link-status command will prevent the router from creating these messages.
On Frame Relay interfaces, DLCI state changes trigger the router to create log messages. In large Frame Relay-based networks, many DLCI changes can occur daily, which can clutter logs and open duplicate trouble reports. The no logging event dlci-status-change configuration command will prevent these log messages from being created:
%FR-5-DLCICHANGE: Interface Serial0 - DLCI 50 state changed to INACTIVE
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0.1, changed state to down
%FR-5-DLCICHANGE: Interface Serial0 - DLCI 50 state changed to ACTIVE
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0.1, changed state to up
You can also suppress subinterface link up or down messages by using the no logging event subif-link-status configuration command. The following example shows a typical Frame Relay interface failure. Note that the router sends a "line protocol down" log message for the main interface and each of the subinterfaces. Although this example only shows one subinterface, it is not uncommon to see dozens of subinterfaces on a single physical interface. In these cases, it can be useful to suppress subinterface messages:
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial0, changed state to down
%FR-5-DLCICHANGE: Interface Serial0 - DLCI 50 state changed to DELETED
%FR-5-DLCICHANGE: Interface Serial0 - DLCI 102 state changed to DELETED
%FR-5-DLCICHANGE: Interface Serial0 - DLCI 103 state changed to DELETED
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0.1, changed state to down
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial0, changed state to down

its too white (no racialist)
What is happening to my eyes????!?!?
after a few hours, safe to say i dislike. -9 jazzfanz, -9.
I think there's room for improvement, but I still think its about 90% better than it was before.
I don't like it because in general I hate change when I get used to a website. The icons to the left of the posts are better though.
In Lindsay We Trust
I like it other than the bright ass white ****.
it's cool. a little change in the interface from time to time is good. more contrast so it's more eye catching.
good work.
If you lined up 10 computer monitors and pulled up the JazzFanz banner, you'd likely get 10 different variations of yellow/gold/orange.
As few monitors are correctly calibrated, color variance is extensive. This is an ongoing source of irritation in my line of work.
why is the site so white now? i mean utah already has preconceived notions and negative connotations about being too 'white.'
why we gotta re-inforce the stereotype. i liked it better when it was more colorful around here.

What is in this article?:
- Don't throw specialty crops under the bus
- Higher premiums
- As a crop insurance agent, it's so distressing that the Senate passed an amendment to the farm bill that would subject crop insurance participation to a means test.
It's wonderful to extol the benefits of fresh fruits and vegetables, to urge them to be made more available in our schools and restaurant menus and to fight to better educate the public about the growing body of research that shows fruits and vegetables are critical to promoting good health.
But what about fighting for public policies that support the very farmers who grow fruits and vegetables? Specialty crop growers — those farmers who grow crops including apples, peaches and pears — are somewhat unique in agriculture in that they grow higher value, often perennial crops and are slightly more vulnerable than the average commodity farmer or rancher.
And while the last decade has seen a wide variety of farm policies that were devised to help the growers of the major commodities in times of weather calamites, one policy that has really worked for the specialty crop industry is crop insurance.
That's why, as a crop insurance agent, it's so distressing that the Senate passed an amendment to the farm bill that would subject crop insurance participation to a means test. The means test would essentially take insurance benefits away from many of the larger, well-established and highly profitable farmers and ranchers.
Now at first glance, this might sound like a good idea, given the fact that so many Americans are struggling. But the amendment holds serious ramifications — particularly for specialty crop farmers here in South Carolina and elsewhere — who will suffer from the unintended consequences of removing highly successful farmers from the insurance pool.
The Coburn-Durbin amendment risks driving up premium costs for specialty crop farmers, and other small and mid-sized farmers, because it would effectively remove the most successful and thus least risky farmers — who keep everyone else's premiums low — from the insurance pool.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reminds consumers to follow safety precautions when purchasing and using electric or fuel-fired heaters and fireplaces. Heaters can cause fires if they are placed too close to flammable materials such as drapes, furniture or bedding. Fireplaces can cause fires if the chimney is cracked, blocked or coated with creosote, or if sparks and embers can reach flammable materials. Fuel-burning appliances can cause carbon monoxide poisoning if they are improperly installed, poorly maintained, have compromised venting systems, or are misused.
In a recent year, there were about 10,900 residential fires and about 190 deaths associated with portable or fixed space heaters. There were 15,500 fires and 40 deaths associated with fireplaces and chimneys. In addition, an average of about 85 people die each year from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by heating systems, ranges/ovens and water heaters.
Heaters can cause fires if they are placed too close to flammable materials such as drapes, furniture or bedding. Fireplaces can cause fires if the chimney is cracked, blocked or coated with creosote, or if sparks and embers can reach flammable materials. Fuel-burning appliances can cause carbon monoxide poisoning if they are improperly installed, poorly maintained, have compromised venting systems, or are misused.
Heater safety tips:
-Use a heater that has been tested to the latest safety standards and certified by a nationally-recognized testing laboratory. These heaters will have the most up-to-date safety features; older space heaters may not meet the newer safety standards. CPSC worked to upgrade industry standards for electric, kerosene and vented and unvented gas space heaters. Kerosene heaters are required to have an automatic cut-off mechanism that will extinguish the flame if the unit tips over. Most electric heaters also have a similar mechanism to turn the unit off. More guarding around the heating coils of electric heaters and the burner of kerosene heaters also is required to prevent fires. Unvented gas space heaters require oxygen depletion sensors to help prevent carbon monoxide production from inefficient combustion.
-Place the heater on a level, hard and nonflammable surface, not on rugs or carpets or near bedding or drapes. Keep the heater at least three feet from bedding, drapes, furniture and other flammable materials.
-Keep doors open to the rest of the house if you are using an unvented fuel-burning space heater. Make sure your heater meets current safety standards to shut off if oxygen levels fall too low. Make sure your heater is correctly rated for your home. An oversized heater could deplete the available oxygen, causing excess carbon monoxide to be produced. Keep a window in the room open at least one inch to ensure proper ventilation. This helps prevent pollutant build-up and promotes proper combustion. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to provide sufficient combustion air to prevent carbon monoxide production.
-NEVER leave a space heater on when you go to sleep. Never place a space heater close to any sleeping person.
-Turn the space heater off if you leave the area. Keep children and pets away from space heaters.
-Have gas and kerosene space heaters inspected annually to ensure proper operation.
-Do not use a kitchen range or oven to heat your house because it could overheat or generate excessive carbon monoxide.
-Be aware that mobile homes require specially-designed heating equipment. Only electric or vented fuel-fired equipment should be used.
-Have a smoke alarm with fresh batteries on each level of the house, inside every bedroom, and outside the bedrooms in each sleeping area. In addition, have a carbon monoxide alarm outside the bedrooms in each separate sleeping area.
Fireplace safety tips:
-Have flues and chimneys inspected before each heating season for leakage and blockage by creosote or debris.
-Open the fireplace damper before lighting the fire and keep it open until the ashes are cool. Never close the damper before going to bed if the ashes are still warm. An open damper will prevent build-up of poisonous gases inside the home, especially while the family is sleeping.
-Never use gasoline, charcoal lighter or other fuel to light or relight a fire because the vapors can explode. Never keep flammable fuels or materials near a fire. Never store flammable liquids in your home.
-Never use charcoal in a fireplace because of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
-Keep a screen or glass enclosure around a fireplace to prevent sparks or embers from igniting flammable materials.

Change needed ?in land lawSeptember 20,2013
In the wonderful city of Barre, there are situations that arise that can prove problematic for residents who may not know exactly how the city runs. We live adjacent to some city property, an undeveloped road. It is grassy, lined with old cedars, and enhances the aesthetics of the neighborhood. It was un-maintained when we purchased the home, and we were told by our agent that the owners of our home had historically maintained the grassy area.
This spring, we were shocked to receive a lawyers letter, from our neighbors of five years, detailing their purchase of a special city license to use the land, and specifics of what we could and could not do now that they owned the license to the land that we had long maintained. We were further surprised that this city license can be granted without any written notice or consideration for abutting neighbors.
We attended city council to express our concerns, and to see if we could change anything. We were given the explanation that there is not a requirement for notification beyond the posting at city hall, and in the newspaper. The situation has been tense, escalating to the level where the city officials and even police have been involved. I would like to see a change, on the books, of the process of granting licenses to use city land.
Neighbors have a right to know what is happening near them, and have an opportunity to express concerns that may prevent future harassment and anxiety. A written abutters notice might have prevented the challenges we have been facing and seems like a reasonable and wise policy in a growing city like Barre.

Slickrock Creek-getting there!
Am planning a trip in to Slickrock. Heard that the Slickrock trail was
badly dammaged by storms, and is nearly impassable. The only other
route in that I have heard of is Stiff Knee Trail. I do not know where to
access this trailhead.
Can anyone help me? Maybe you know of an easier way in?
Re: Slickrock Creek-getting there!
Havent been out to SRC since early August.. Went in on the trail from Cheoah then and it was fine... About a month earlier I went in from the Big Fat Gap trailhead to fish the upper section.. Took Big Fat Gap Trail to Slickrock trail.. Its around a 1.5 mile hike to the creek from this trail head.. Also there is a 1000 feet of elevation change going in this way... Hope this helps ya out..
Re: Slickrock Creek-getting there!
Stiffknee trailhead is at the Far gap parking area on Doublecamp road, which is off Citico creek road. Go past Indian boundary to you come to Citico creek and follow the creek to the 1st bridge ( there was/is a camping area past the bridge on the right, not sure about the camping area since the flood back in the early nineties) once you cross the bridge turn right and your on Doublecamp road, go about 10 miles ( more or less) and when the road makes a very hard left with a parking area for a few cars on the left that is Far gap. The trail only goes a little ways and forks, take the left fork it follows a ridge and drops down to a saddle then turns right and follows little Slickrock creek to Slickrock creek. From there you can go a couple of miles down to lower falls or upstream to wildcat falls. It's been several years since I fished it but I always had better luck upstream from where Nichols cove creek comes in. Good luck and if snakes are still out be carefull, seen more rattlers and copperheads on this creek than anywhere else in 26 years of trout fishing.
Expecting a carjacker or rapist or drug pusher to care that his possession or use of a gun is unlawful is like expecting a terrorist to care that his car bomb is taking up two parking spaces
Re: Slickrock Creek-getting there!
I have backpacked/camped/fished back on Slick-Rock three times and fished it twice more, it can be tough but rewarding. All browns (probably know that) above the first falls about a mile above the lake. If its a day trip go early, you can take your time hiking in and not wear yourself out. I would park right by the bridge which crosses Calderwood res (below Cheoah dam). Since it is browns, you want to be the first on the creek, once spooked a brown seems to be done for a long time.
Start up the trail along the lake for about a 1/4 mile as I recall, watch for the Yellowhammer Gap trail which cuts up to the left, this is a steep trail (wish I had a map here) about 2 miles. Yellowhammer will bring you out above the first or second waterfall, lots of good water upstream, several campsites near where the trail hits the creek. In either direction you will have many stream crossings if you are packing. Very remote country, unless there are others back there!
Good day though. If someone could drop you and leave a car at Big Fat Gap parking area that would be good, you could fish upstream and hike out Big Fat Gap, wouldn't have to back-track.
Good luck and have fun. Go see the poplar cove if you have the time.
The lower stretch from the lake to the first falls may be good this time of year with spawing browns for the Calderwood, don't know but a pretty good bet.
Another thought is Big Santeetlah in the Joyce Kilmer, larger creek and typically lightly fished. Get a map and find the road that leads to the backcountry of B.S. Very pretty stream and some monster browns there as well.
Tight lines,

Hey gburris
I would advise you to go back to a posting made by "smctrout" on May 29th. You can go back and find it under "smctrout" profile. It would be well worth your time!
Re: Slickrock Creek-getting there!
If you decide to go the Big Fat Gap route I would make sure I didn't leave anything of value in my vehicle. Based on my own experience and reports I have heard from others, vandalism is pretty bad in that area unless the forest service has started patroling the parking area. It's been 8 years since I have used that parking area but after getting my truck broken into and several items stolen I made up my mind never to go in that way again. Things may have changed I don't know just wanted to give ya, a heads up.
Expecting a carjacker or rapist or drug pusher to care that his possession or use of a gun is unlawful is like expecting a terrorist to care that his car bomb is taking up two parking spaces
Re: Slickrock Creek-getting there!
Hunting seasons have started. Please remember to wear a minimum of 500 inches of blaze orange (hat and vest). South Cherokee has a 3 day muzzleloader deer/hog hunt starting on Sept. 29 and there will be a bunch of people in the woods with guns, me included.
My posts are worthless without pictures
Re: Slickrock Creek-getting there!
Did you ever make it over to Slickrock? If so how did you do?

See below for the email she just sent me...I don't want her to give up!
My breast are getting full and he's not draining them. I had a dentist appt today and left 3 ounces of breast milk in a bottle for Brian to give the baby and it took two separate feeding for the baby to drink most of it and he didn't finish it completely.
The doctor said that after four weeks nipple confusion is rare so I don't know what the hell is going on. Also, I doubt by giving the baby one to two bottles out of nine to 10 feeding will cause this confusion.
I wonder if I can maintain my milk supply by just pumping. I'm getting really frustrated. I just don't get why I'm having such a rough time at this. I swear my patience is getting tested.

Has anyone tried flax seed oil for constipated baby? I read this and wanted to try it. I use to take it myself and it helped me a lot with menstrual issues. Can I give it to baby and take it too?
Has anyone tried flax seed oil for constipated baby? I read this and wanted to try it. I use to take it myself and it helped me a lot with menstrual issues. Can I give it to baby and take it too?
I gave it (3/4ths tsp) when my ds was 1 year old, thinking he may have been constipated and he got a terrible stomach ache - never thought of trying ever since.
Do you think your baby is currently constipated?
Yes, she is contipated because she does not go on her on upwards of two weeks at a time. Her doctor prescribed Glycolax and I really don't like using it. Wanted to know of some natural methods. I heard of 1 tsp. of flax oil/day since she does not like juice and the apples and pears are not working.Originally Posted by Feorsteorra
How old is she? I had not heard that apples would help with constipation, but pears are supposed to. Also peaches, apricots, and prunes. For ds, grapes always get him pooping, though we have never had constipation problmes, so this is not always a good thing! lol
Depending on her age, you could try yogurt; it makes some babies poop.
If she's eating a lot of solids, you may want to offer some extra water on a regular basis. Does she currently drink any water at all?
Of course, avoid the usual suspects: rice cereal, cheese, etc.
The very best thing is of course breastmilk and lots of it.
She is 7 months. she only eats about 1 oz of solids per day if that. I make her food and we have tried rice, apples, sweet potatoes, bananas, pears, apricots and potatoes this week. I bought prunes to make so I will try that. She will drink water if I take her outside for a while in the hot sun, otherwise she only will take breastmilk from a drinking vessel weird huh?Originally Posted by Feorsteorra

ŌĆ£I used to work down there, and over there I sang,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£And over there is my childhood home, that white building with the steeple roof. Do you see it?ŌĆØ
As she looked around Sylva from the picturesque perch and discusses her career, Brunette was as embracing a personality as she was sentimental and inquisitive about her community. On Dec. 31, after a 27-year career, she will retire as Jackson County Librarian.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm very proud of what IŌĆÖve accomplished, but now it is time for me to retire and get some new blood in here,ŌĆØ she said.
On Dec. 11, the library held a celebration for Brunette, a bon voyage of sorts for a lady who has brought much joy and hard work to her profession. Dozens of people from every corner of the community attended with smiles and teary-eyed glances sliding down both sides of the conversation.
ŌĆ£The staff, the patrons here ŌĆö thatŌĆÖs what I love,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£Seeing people with looks on their faces when something really excites them, joyful looks ŌĆö thatŌĆÖs what IŌĆÖm here for.ŌĆØ
A Sylva native, Brunette has had a love of the library as far back as she can remember.
ŌĆ£I was a latchkey child. When my mother couldnŌĆÖt find me ŌĆö and that was no fault of hers ŌĆö she always knew IŌĆÖd be at the library sitting on the floor with books,ŌĆØ the 65-year-old said. ŌĆ£The library provided me with security and peace. I tell the kids today itŌĆÖs the only place you can go anywhere in the Universe just for yourself. It is just that important of a place.ŌĆØ
Brunette eventually majored in geology at Emory University in Atlanta, which coincidentally was home to the first library school in the South. She said she felt somewhat burned out from her geology pursuits and soon found herself working in the Hunter Library at Western Carolina University. After a couple of weeks, something clicked in her head.
ŌĆ£My mother was a librarian and I had been pushed since I was a small child to become a librarian,ŌĆØ she smiled. ŌĆ£I knew then this was exactly what I should be doing. So, when I went home and told my mother, she just laughed because she knew it all along.ŌĆØ
After graduating from WCU, Brunette then received her masterŌĆÖs of library science degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. From there, she started at Hunter Library in 1986 and remained there until she entered the Fontana Regional Library system in 1996. She moved around and through the Macon County branch, onward to Cashiers, then finally back home to Sylva in 2007. At the Jackson County Public Library, she oversaw the long-overdue relocation and construction of the new library at its current location in the historic hilltop courthouse.
ŌĆ£We came up with an excellent use of this space for the library and other community organizations,ŌĆØ she proudly stated.
In an age of information and Internet at your fingertips, many might view the library as obsolete. But not Brunette. Beyond the innumerable community workshops held in the building, the library also hosts a wide array of childrenŌĆÖs and artistic programs for any and all to attend.
ŌĆ£We offer free Internet and wifi access for everybody, and we teach a lot of computer programs,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£Someone may not be that into reading, but we can offer them something else theyŌĆÖre interested in, and thatŌĆÖs what weŌĆÖve always aimed to do, to relate to the people. Then, maybe weŌĆÖll hook them in to pay attention to books.ŌĆØ
And to that point, Brunette feels the library is as important to Sylva as it was back when she was a child.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs the heart of the community,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs something open for each and every person in the community. ItŌĆÖs knowledge at your fingertips. You can find pretty much anything you want.ŌĆØ
Wandering the retirement celebration, people from every direction pulled Brunette aside for a few kind words and best wishes. Standing nearby, acclaimed Appalachian storyteller Gary Carden was grateful for her service to Western North Carolina. He pointed out how Brunette would helped him apply for and receive grants from the North Carolina Humanities Council to produce his plays, not to mention offering the library space to perform the pieces.
ŌĆ£She has an aggressive personality, and she gets things done,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£She and I go way back. Dottie struck a deal with me to allow me to have a place to do my plays, which was in the library. All of those plays were done with her help.ŌĆØ
A few feet away, Ruth Shuler of the Jackson County Genealogical Society shared a laugh with Brunette. The two have worked closely over the years.
ŌĆ£SheŌĆÖs been an integral part of our organization,ŌĆØ Shuler said. ŌĆ£Dottie is a wonderful person and weŌĆÖve thoroughly enjoyed visiting and working with her. We will miss her.ŌĆØ
With her final day at the library quickly approaching, Brunette said she plans to stay active in the community. SheŌĆÖs looking forward to cleaning her house and perhaps doing some volunteer work with the local bookstore.
So, what does 27 years in the library system mean to her?
ŌĆ£It means that when I decided to have a career in libraries, I set out to do it and I did it. It was the right choice,ŌĆØ she said.
During the celebration, Brunette felt overwhelmed by all of the love and support.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a little bit mind-boggling, but at the same time, itŌĆÖs incredibly gratifying,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£And when I go home today IŌĆÖll bawl my eyes out, if I donŌĆÖt do it beforehand.ŌĆØ

The Press Secretary of the White House released a statement on Sudan on May 21, 2011. The statement said, "The United States condemns the offensive operations being undertaken by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in and around Abyei town and today's Presidential decree dissolving the Abyei Administration. While the United States deplored the May 19 attack by Southern forces on a United Nations convoy that was transporting a SAF company lawfully operating as part of the Joint Integrated Units in Abyei, this response is disproportionate and irresponsible. The actions being taken by the Government of Sudan are blatant violations of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and threaten to undermine the mutual commitment of the CPA parties to avoid a return to war.
"The United States calls on the SAF to immediately cease all offensive operations in Abyei and withdraw its forces from Abyei. Failure to do so could set back the process of normalizing relations between Sudan and the United States and inhibit the international community's ability to move forward on issues critical to Sudan's future. Both sides must follow through with implementing the Kadugli Agreements of January 13 and 17, including the withdrawal of all unauthorized forces in Abyei. The United States calls on President Bashir and First Vice President Kiir to meet immediately and agree on a way forward that restores calm, upholds the CPA, and recommits both sides to a negotiated political settlement on the future status of the Abyei Area."
You can also read the statement here.
Khalid A. in the United Kingdom writes:
The most important thing now is not to inflame the situation. The Sudanese Government has stated that the army will withdraw. Terms for such a withdrawal should not be difficult. We already have the Kadugly Adreement which both parties accept. Both President Bashir and his Southern counterpart have declared that a return to war was out of the question. Both accept a UN role.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Maybe it's about time to accept the notion that once a leader has been indited by the ICC for crimes against humanity it serves no good purpose to delay in serving the arrest warrant, for there can be no lasting peace as a result of a genocidal maniac remaining in power.
Kenneth in Nigeria writes:
ICC should arrest President Bashir of the north Sudan.
James B. in Missouri writes:
I belive its a failed state and should be overthroughn if the cease fire is not met
then all trade should stop sanctions and a rational democratic govenment and elections should be held and it would be amazeing
Catherine C. in Ohio writes:
We have a team from Ginghamsburg Church traveling to Juba, South Sudan this week. I would like to include the physical address of the US Embassy in Juba, just in case they have any issues.

My lo is refusing jarred foods but will try anything my dh and I are eating. I gave her some soft baked sweet potato and she loved it. The pedi said that most breastfed babies are like that - mothers milk has more 'taste' to it than formula. He said it was fine to feed her what we have, just no spices and mashed of course.
She nurses every 2-3 hours and wakes 2-3 times a night to eat... (9pm - 6am.)
I'm lucky to have been home for 6 months but go back to work in a week and want her to be eating something at daycare.

FAA to delay closure of 149 control towers
Towers won't close until June 15
Published On: Apr 09 2013 04:50:36 PM CDT Updated On: Apr 05 2013 02:03:12 PM CDT
The Federal Aviation Administration will delay the closures of 149 unfunded federal contract air traffic control towers until June 15, the agency announced Friday.
The FAA said last month it would eliminate funding for these towers as part of the agency's required $637 million in forced spending cuts.
Tower closures had been scheduled to begin Sunday and were to have been phased in over four weeks, the FAA said.

Pet of the Week - Zach
Meet Zach! Zach is a 3 year old Shar-pei mix. He is neutered, current on his vaccinations and microchipped. Social, silly, and eager to please this sweet boy is ready to be your new best friend! He is a very smart boy and is in search for the perfect family to call his very own. He loves his toys and really enjoys being outside. This super smart young man knows how to sit, stay, shake, come, and he takes treats very gently. He will benefit from an established exercise routine in his new home...and lots of snuggle time too! With time to adjust and proper introductions, Zach should do well in a home with other pets. He can be a bouncy man and would do best in home with children at least 6 years of age and older. This handsome man can't wait for someone to love him for exactly what he is a great dog! Give him a chance and gain a life-long friend!
If you would like to help our wonderful friends while they are waiting to be adopted, the Coulee Region Humane Society is always looking for donations. These donations go a long way in making the stay more comfortable for our animal guests.

Over the past two years, this album has become one of my all-time favorite.
It's catchy, it's nerdy (concept album based on the universe of an old school tabletop RPG FTW) but most importantly it oozes awesome through its every pore.
And it has a dog-headed astronaut with a machine gun on the cover.


text: And Owen is 10 weeks 1 day old and has been home for 18 days. It still feels so emotional and strange to me. Part of me still wishes I was still pregnant, waddling around and wondering when I will go into labor. I think a part of me always will miss being pregnant this time, especially because not only was this pregnancy cut so short, but because I will never experience being pregnant or giving birth again, I miss it even more. Lately I've been feeling like I really, really, really want to have another baby, like how could this be it for me…it's already going by too fast for me. But I want to have a normal, full-length pregnancy with the birth I envision, and maybe I'll always want that, and I won't be able to experience it. I don't know. And because it's going by fast – I can hardly believe I have a 27 month old and a 2 ½ month old – I am trying to figure out how to feel more bonded with Owen so that I don't look back on this time and have so many regrets on how it all went. There are times when I look at him and feel so much love for him, feel so close to him, but thd majority of time I feel more mechanical with him. It's sad to me and I wish I knew how to feel differently. Anyone have any ideas on how they bonded with their baby? It just happened for me with Emma, but it's not naturally happening as much with Owen. I think it's a combination of having our beginning so messed up (hard to start the bonding process in the NICU) and having a lack of time devoted to just paying attention to him, because of course I have Emma who is totally high maintenance. But if anyone has any advice for me, please share. For the other moms of preemies out there, did you experience any of this? Is this normal or should I be more concerned?

Board Recommends Public School Choice Policies
Immediate Release
For More Information
The Board also authorized that a proposed state policy on public school choice for students in unsafe or "persistently dangerous" schools be distributed for public comment before a final measure is adopted.
Under NCLB, low-performing public schools that have not made adequate yearly progress (AYP) for two or more consecutive years are required to offer families the option of sending their children to a higher-performing public school in the district. Starting in 2003-04, schools that have not made AYP for three or more years must also provide supplemental educational services to students.
Of the 893
school districts in
Students transferring to a higher-performing school must have access to the same classes and activities as those currently enrolled. If the new school is placed on improvement status, students have the option of transferring to yet another higher-performing school in the district.
The State
Board recommends that each local school board establish and implement
a public school choice policy for schools on improvement status. It is
especially important and timely that the 65
Supplemental Educational Services
In addition to public school choice, schools that do not make AYP for three or more years must provide supplemental educational services (SES) to students. This provision will take affect with the 2003-04 school year. ISBE recommends that districts also adopt a policy on supplemental
educational services, which are defined as tutoring and other academic enrichment services offered in addition to instruction provided during the school day.
Supplemental educational services can be provided by a variety of community-based organizations with a demonstrated record of effectiveness in helping students to improve academic achievement. Once ISBE approves a list of SES providers during 2002-03, parents will be able to select the service and provider for their children, as applicable in 2003-04.
Public School Choice for Unsafe or "Persistently Dangerous" Schools
The State Board is also seeking input from local educators, parents and citizens on draft language to define a school as unsafe or "persistently dangerous" as federally required and thus qualify students for public school choice to a safer school.
Two conditions would allow students to transfer to a safer school. One is the individual option in which students who have been victims of a violent crime while in or on the grounds of the school they attend can transfer to a safe public elementary or secondary school in the district, including a public charter school.
The second public school choice option applies to all students who attend a school that is defined as unsafe or "persistently dangerous," based on the proposed definition below.
ISBE is seeking public comment on the components and timeline of the proposed definition of an unsafe or "persistently dangerous" school as outlined below:
A "persistently dangerous" school must meet the following criteria for three consecutive years:
Comments on the proposed definition should be e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

STARKVILLE, Miss. – For the second-consecutive season, the Mississippi State softball team (32-22) is dancing. Head Coach Vann Stuedeman and the Bulldogs were selected to participate in the 2013 NCAA Softball Tournament, the organization announced late Sunday night. The Maroon and White will open up tourney play vs. No. 19 Florida State (30-24) Friday at 3:30 p.m. CT in the NCAA Mobile Regional.
"Everything our conference does is designed to prepare us for postseason play," Head Coach Vann Stuedeman said. "We have been in a Super Regional every single weekend since the beginning of SEC play."
ESPN3 will broadcast the game live, with MSU play-by-play man Anthony Craven calling the action through free live audio streaming via HailStateTV. Making its 10th NCAA Tournament appearance, MSU will look to improve upon its 4-2 record on national television during Stuedeman's tenure.
Tickets for the NCAA Mobile Regional will go on sale to the general public at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, May 14th. Tickets prices are $20.00 for an all-tournament pass.
State will represent the Southeastern Conference, which sent a league-record 11 teams to the tournament. The Bulldogs have already played 16 of the 64 teams in the tournament this season, and have defeated four of the 16 teams which will host NCAA Regionals (at Florida, at Alabama, at Texas A&M and vs. LSU).
"We played a great schedule," Stuedeman explained. "We are battle tested and it is time to go dancing."
Starkville's Team is 9-18 all-time in the Big Dance, including an 0-1 record against Florida State. The Seminoles eliminated MSU from the 2009 NCAA Tournament in the NCAA Tallahassee Regional by a score of 5-0 on May 16, 2009. The Bulldogs own a two-game winning streak against the Garnet and Gold, however, with both wins coming in March 2011 in Tuscaloosa, Ala., as part of the SEC/ACC Challenge. State owns a 7-6 overall record vs. the Noles all-time.
The Bulldogs are also no strangers to No. 18 South Alabama and Mississippi Valley State, the other two teams in the NCAA Mobile Regional. State lost a thrilling 3-2 contest to the host Jaguars in the 2013 series opener in Starkville Feb. 7, and defeated the Delta Devilettes by a 1-0 score last month thanks to a three-hit complete-game shutout by senior lefty Stephanie Becker. Stuedeman's squad is 2-1 all-time against the Jaguars, and 23-1 all-time against its in-state counterparts.
Mobile has been a friendly place for Stuedeman and company, having gone a perfect 4-0 at the 2012 Mardi Gras Invitational in Stuedeman's first weekend as the skipper of the Bulldogs. Last year's series opener, in the same stadium as Friday's NCAA opener, was a 7-2 victory against the very same Jaguars hosting this weekend's regional.

On average, a physician will interrupt a patient describing her symptoms within 12 seconds. In that short time, many doctors decide on the likely diagnosis and best treatment. Often, decisions made this way are correct, but at crucial moments they can also be wrong - with catastrophic consequences.
In this myth-shattering book, Jerome Groopman pinpoints the forces and thought processes behind the decisions doctors make. He explores why doctors err and shows when and how they can, with our help, avoid snap judgments, embrace uncertainty, communicate effectively, and deploy other skills that can have a profound impact on our health.
Groopman draws on a wealth of research, extensive interviews with some of the country's best physicians, and his own experiences as a doctor and patient. He has learned many of the lessons in this book the hard way, from his own mistakes and from errors his doctors made in treating his own debilitating medical problems.
How Doctors Think reveals a profound new view of 21st-century medical practice, giving doctors and patients the vital information they need to make better judgments together.
©2007 Jerome Groopman, M.D.; (P)2007 Tantor Media Inc.
"A revealing, often disturbing look at what goes on in doctors' minds when treating patients....A highly pleasurable must-read. "(Kirkus)
"I wish I had read this book when I was in medical school, and I'm glad I've read it now....Every reflective doctor will learn from this book....every prospective patient will find thoughtful advice for communicating successfully." (Publishers Weekly)
I enjoy Groopman's articles in the New Yorker, and I took this selection after hearing his compelling interview on NPR. However, I was disappointed in the content of the book. This does not really tell us too much about how doctors think; what constitutes the complexity of a diagnosis or how doctors make decisions. Rather, it is more of a collection of stories about misdiagnosis or mistreatment of patients and friends of Dr. Groopman. And it turns out that Groopman is mostly the hero of the book -- either making the tough diagnosis himself or referring to one of his friends who saves the day. His friends happen to be located at Harvard, Mayo Clinic, and Sloan-Kettering. Not exactly the answer for the masses of Americans belonging to HMOs who cannot even get a specialty referral without a letter to a congressman.
The book starts out addressing the theme that young doctors are becoming too entranced with algorithmic medicine. He complains that they follow guidelines for care like robots on an assembly line. Most would agree, however, that the bigger problem in American medical care is the failure of doctors to adhere to evidence-based guidelines, rather than over-reliance on them. Care for diabetics, asthmatics, and hypertensives fall far short of what it should be and what would improve the health of the nation.
Dr. Groopman does share our pain, however. He had a day of distress because a doctor called him at home with a fatal mis-diagnosis while his wife was away skiing. He had the diagnosis corrected the next day at work, but lost a night's sleep over it.
Once you get past the self-congratulations, the old-boy network of super-docs, the confessions of imperfection in himself, and the self-pity; there are a few good points.
1. Get a second opinion.
2. Be an informed consumer.
3. Ask questions
3. If you do not like your doctor, get another one.
Not worth the read to learn these lessons.;
"Very informative"
This book provides a fascinating insight into medical decision making in the absence of hard evidence and lives at stake. At the end of the book, I definitely had a much better feel for what doctors could reasonably know when making diagnoses and decide on treatment and how difficult it must be to recommend paths forward for medical interventions. One thing I definitely took away from this book is that doctors are not all-knowing and when in doubt, do get a second opinion even if it is just to get a sense of how differing opinions about a certain condition really are...
Great book, I have already recommended it to many of my friends and colleages as a "must read".
"Terrible narration, great idea, good execution"
To begin with, the narration was horrible. I am a doctor and had looked forward to this book with great enthusiasm. However the narrator's dry, business-like narration sounded like the worst stereotype of a condescending paternalistic doctor one could imagine. But to make things worse he frequently and repeatedly mispronounced medical terms. How hard would it have been to make a list of terms he did not recognize and ask Groopman how to say them?
As far as the book goes, it was generally excellent, and I have found it very instrumental in guiding my own thinking and avoiding mistakes. There were some sections that were silly, for example there is a section in which his fellow temple congregant, a mother named Rachel, underwent an ordeal in which a child she adopted got very sick. He spent way too much time on this chapter and focused, nearly obsessively, on her religious reflections which did nothing to advance the points he was making.
At other times he was repetitious. For the most part, however, this was an exhilarating and a refreshing way to look at medical errors and medical decision making, and is getting the attention it more than deserves from medical circles.
"Totally flat reader"
I really enjoy Jerome Groopman's columns in the New Yorker, but the book made him seem stiff, repetitive, and pompous. All the observations seemed trite and obvious and none of his case studies held my interest for their length. Even worse, the reader read everything in a flat monotone, reminiscent of a 1950s educational tape (e.g., "Your Friend, Aluminum"). Do not attempt this book while driving -- your mind will wander and you will fall asleep.
The best parts of the book are Groopman's discussing his own (rather than other doctors') experiences; particularly interesting was his description of his article on Cox-2 inhibitors, which kicked off much of the enthusiasm for those drugs in the US.
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
"How Doctors Think"
Any health-care provider will greatly benefit from reading and applying the gems in this book. As a result, so will our patients. It is excellent in its science, its logic and its writing.
"Odd narration, good book"
I thought the writing was good and the content was very interesting. Many of the cognitive issues addressed apply to areas of life other than medicine, so I think I will be able to apply some of the lessons from this book, even though I am not a doctor. It will probably make me a better patient, too.
His voice sounded like a 1950's TV doctor. It was a bit jarring at first, especially in contrast to the content of the book. If I revisit this book, I will probably switch to reading it, rather than listening.
"How Emotion and Perception Affect Your Care"
Doctors are human, just like us. And if you care about your health and want to get good health care results, it pays to remember this. The book is interesting and informative, with fascinating anecdotes, and provides useful insight, looking through the eyes of doctors.
"Everyone should read this book."
This book shows you how Dr.s think, the mistakes Dr.s make with reading tests and diagnosing diseases among other things like connections to the pharmaceutical industry...
"insightful for a medical student"
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the thought process. I may recommend this to patients as a glimpse into the mind of physicians. author does a great job of clarify technical medical terms. The jargon may be overwhelming at times, but the point is usually clear. Strongly recommend individuals who have questions about the general approach of physicians to read or listen to this book.
College English professor who loves classic literature, psychology, neurology and hates pop trash like Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey.
reminiscent of the work of the great surgeon Richard Selzer, Groopman's work gives the reader a wonderful insight into the ways that a doctor thinks, both when he makes the right decision regarding a patient--and when he makes a wrong one. He reminds us of what real critical thinking is--being at once calculating and creative in a realm in which uncertainty reigns.

James Barrie announced Monday to commissioners in a letter that he would be leaving the position come Aug. 31.
"I am disappointed by the lack of support from the very governmental entity that appointed me," Barrie wrote in his resignation to the court. "Instead of support, my contract was effectively breached by all the controversy brought about by Commissioner Eloy Rodriguez.
"His action can be construed as Tortious Interference with a contract.
"Due to his continued defamatory statements, public deceit, along with willful and malicious attempts to rally business owner support, I have not been able to fulfill my contract as executed."
Little was said about the resignation as only Commissioner Carlos Salazar posed one question to the court.
"Are we going to make it effective as indicated in the letter?" he asked.
County Judge David Silva responded, "If we need to make it sooner, we need to come back with another item."
On Tuesday, the city council approved the immediate termination of Barrie's contract with the city. The council had previously accepted his resignation with the same effective date of Aug. 31.
Barrie's resignation to the city was similar to that sent to the county.
"I realized ahead of time being the new fire marshal was going to be challenging for several reasons," he wrote in his letter to the city. "The position had never been performed to new state standards, local ordinance, nor had it been performed evenly across the board."
At the heart of the issue is the question of when a fire inspection should be performed and at what financial cost.
Barrie maintains that these inspections are the duty of his office and that he should be allowed to charge a fee for these inspections to fund his office.
In his letter to the county, Barrie writes, "I am not willing to take on the liability for not performing my appointed duties to its fullest intent. I have already noted, and publicly mentioned, the various life safety issues I have uncovered and had corrected in my short duration as fire marshal.
"Unfortunately, the positive and potentially life-saving actions of my position are falling on deaf ears as a few business owners protest.
"This protesting is normal for the beginning stages of enforcement."
For the past few weeks, several business people have approached the commissioners speaking of their concerns not for the inspections alone, but the combination of the inspection and fee.
At one court meeting about a month ago, businessman Armando Musquez, accompanied by several other business owners, voiced his concern over the fees charged by Barrie.
"It is not the inspections. It is not the need for the fire marshal... It is that he is walking into a business inspecting your area, some as simple as a fire extinguisher, and saying you owe me $75.
"Somebody walking into your business to do an inspection and saying you owe me money — it is just not right."
If the county follows the actions of the city, the businesses will have to find someone else to do required inspections.
"Until the county decides to find another fire marshal, businesses requiring inspections for licensure will have to find their own certified fire inspector or contact the state fire marshal to get put on a waiting list," Barrie writes in his letter to the county.
"I am pleased to have had the opportunity to perform this service for Bee County.
"It saddens me to let down all the people who thanked me daily, and requested that I keep fighting for this much needed service.
"However, I cannot continue to be restricted in fulfilling my appointed duties, and forced into possible negligence liability."

text: I was lucky enough to give birth to my BEAUTIFUL baby girl on 4/20. We had latching issues from day one! The lactation consultant tried her best but it seemed like nothing we tried has worked and my nipples became cracked, blistered and sore- so I pumped from the day we brought her home. I have rented a good hospital grade pump- Symphony by Medela. I was producing milk fairly well (about 4 oz per pump and pumping every 3-4 hours and able to freeze 4oz or so everyday) just exclusivly pumping and I'm commited to giving her breastmilk or else I would have given up when we got home! However I developed mastitis and my production went through the floor. The fever and pain was like nothing I had ever felt, pure misery! I have been on antibiotics for a week now and pumped through out the treatment although I gave my daughter formula to eat after I ran out of frozen milk. The doctor suggested that I pump and dump since the antibiotics in the milk would increase her chances for getting thrush, but as much effort goes into pumping I couldn't bring myself to do that so I have frozen the milk and labeled it differently. Right now I'm pumping about 1 oz every 3-4 hours now; no where near enough to feed her! What can I do to increase my milk supply? I'm worried that it's just going to dry up, especially since she won't latch, and I'll have to give her formula!

Nuclear energy [2] is often touted [3] as a reliable, carbon-free element in our electricity portfolio, but three major challenges must be overcome before it can play a bigger role [4] in our energy mix: cost, reactor safety, and waste disposal. Recent progress on each of these fronts shows that nuclear energy may indeed be a greater component of our clean energy future.
As a zero-carbon energy source that also has the highest capacity factor [5], new nuclear generation is especially well suited to provide baseload generation, which is an emerging gap in our electricity system. As electricity demand rises [6], aging coal plants [7] are retired [8], and we pursue greenhouse gas emission reductions [9], there is a growing need for new low- and zero-carbon baseload electricity generation. Without technological breakthroughs in electricity storage [10] technology, wind [11], and solar [12], energy cannot adequately meet baseload demand due to intermittency. Natural gas is lower emitting than coal, but it still emits greenhouse gases and has historically been vulnerable to price volatility [13].
Yet until recently, no new reactor had been licensed in the United States in decades. One reason for this lull is the high cost of new plants. Although operating costs are much lower, levelized electricity cost [14] for a new nuclear power plant is higher than that of a coal or gas plant, and nearly as high as many renewable sources, leading many project developers to first pursue less expensive options. Also, upfront capital costs are much higher [14] relative to other sources, making a nuclear energy plant a risky investment.
However, there are signs that the cost of a new plant may become manageable with new government support. On February 9, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission [15] (NRC) voted 4-1 to grant [16] the first new license to build and operate a nuclear reactor in more than 30 years. The approval is for two 1,100 megawatt reactors at Southern Company's Alvin W. Vogtle plant near Augusta, Georgia, which are scheduled to begin operation in 2016 and 2017. Construction costs will be partially supported by a conditionally approved $8.3 billion loan guarantee from the Department of Energy [17] (DOE), and are already beginning to be paid for by ratepayers [18]. Utilities and regulators will be watching [19] the $14 billion construction project closely to determine if it is a successful venture. In another advancement for nuclear energy, on March 30, the NRC conditionally approved [20] new licenses for two 1,100 megawatt reactors at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Generating Station. This plant is near Columbia, South Carolina, and is operated by South Carolina Electric & Gas Company.
Currently, private investors are reluctant to finance new nuclear power plants [21] partly due to financial uncertainty, but by giving a few nuclear plants a chance to demonstrate economic viability the DOE loan guarantee program [22] could change the equation for future plants. In addition, a price on carbon, either via a tax or cap and trade, would greatly enhance the competitiveness of new nuclear generation. The Energy Information Administration modeled a near doubling of U.S. nuclear capacity by 2030 [23] as part of the response to the emission targets in the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 [24], which featured a greenhouse gas cap and trade program.
Reactor safety has been another persistent concern, and the Fukushima accident [25] served as a reminder of how dangerous nuclear energy can be. The meltdown reached Level 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale [26], only the second accident to do so along with the Chernobyl catastrophe. Everyone within 12 miles of the reactor was forced to evacuate [27] due to high radiation levels, and although no radiation deaths [28] have been reported, up to 1,000 deaths [29] could eventually result from exposure over the long term.
Though a tragic event, it's important to remember that all energy sources come with risks [30]. Indeed, power plant standards for mercury and other toxins recently unveiled by EPA are expected to avoid 11,000 premature deaths [31] per year, revealing the magnitude of harm we have been accepting from traditional fossil energy. Additionally, the causes leading up to the Fukushima disaster were already accounted for [32] in the United States, and catastrophic nuclear energy accidents will become even less likely as nations around the world are spurred by Fukushima to review safety technology and procedures. In the United States, the NRC recently issued three orders [33] designed to protect reactors from the safety shortcomings that contributed to the Fukushima meltdown.
In addition to costs and reactor safety, the third concern is that United States has yet to forge a solution to the long-term disposal of nuclear waste. The Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future [34] recently released a report [35] to Energy Secretary Steven Chu highlighting the many challenges of nuclear waste. The uncertainty around our nuclear waste situation increased when the Obama Administration chose to halt progress [36] on the Yucca Mountain repository.
Yet the Blue Ribbon Commission is confident that, despite several missteps [37] in the past, the U.S. nuclear waste problem could be addressed through a handful of policy changes. These changes include a consent-based approach to future waste disposal siting rather than forcing facilities into unwilling communities, the creation of a new waste program agency outside of the DOE, and restored access to the Nuclear Waste Fund by the nuclear waste program so that it does not have to annually compete for federal funding, as was Congress' initial intent.
Progress on these three fronts helps make growth in nuclear energy a possibility. Our need for new low- and zero-carbon electricity generation is inescapable. By addressing concerns regarding costs, reactor safety, and waste disposal, nuclear energy could be a growing element of our electricity portfolio [38], helping to avoid catastrophic climate change. Thus the licensing of new reactors, new safety rules, and the Blue Ribbon Commission report are promising signs.

NY Senate passes bills to aid farmers
March 27, 2013 —
NEW YORK STATE — The New York State Senate passed two bills co-sponsored by Senator John J. Bonacic that are intended to provide economic relief and assistance to New York State farmers. The first bill, the "Repower New York Farms Act," reduces energy costs for farmers to promote a generation of independent farms powered by renewable energy. The legislation lowers farmers' utility bills and expands New York's agricultural economy by reducing fees for farms that install renewable energy.
The second bill authorizes industrial development agencies (IDAs) to provide assistance to agricultural producers for products grown, harvested or produced within the state. Under the current law, IDAs can only issue loans and provide technical support to agricultural manufacturers.
"New York State is an agricultural leader. Our local towns and businesses rely on our farmers. We need to provide farmers economic relief so they can continue to invest in farming, reach our markets, and reinvest in our state. " said Bonacic.


text: Help! My ds is 13 mo and we've been doing jarred solids since about 6 mo. He resists finger foods and self-feeding and still drinks about 12 oz of ebm during the day and nurses all night. We've had a heck of a time getting him to eat lately. The other day I gave him oatmeal for breakfast AND dinner since he loves oatmeal. He's also allergic to dairy/nuts/soy. With that in mind, what are your "sure thing" solids for picky toddlers? He'll eat just about any green veggie in a jar (particularly peas) and likes carrots, sweet potatoes, turkey, rice/lentils, apples and pears...so long as they're in a jar. How can I get him to try more finger foods and what solids (jar or not) are your sure thing when baby won't eat?

I've successfully installed Tomcat 7 and would like to install PHP 5.4 with it (on Windows 7). However I can't find any documentation on how to do this - every item I've found has related to earlier versions and there seem to have been some significant changes in both products since then.
Can anyone point me to somewhere where this is covered or provide details?
Thanks in advance.
