CALL THE MIDWIFE, based on the best-selling memoirs of the late Jennifer Worth, tells colorful stories of midwifery and families in London's East End. The third season takes viewers to 1959, the eve of the Swinging Sixties. The winds of change are sweeping through the country and the residents of Nonnatus House face some momentous changes of their own.
Episode 1 –
The nuns and midwives of Nonnatus House move into their new premises, and Sister Winifred, a warm-hearted, slightly innocent young woman, arrives from the Mother House. Sister Monica Joan's increasingly eccentric behavior causes concern, yet she's the one who solves a perplexing medical mystery. New housewife and mother Chummy spearheads an Open Day at the Community Centre. After helping to deliver a neighbor's baby, she decides she wants to return to midwifery.

Gabriel Monte: Freedom Newspapers
A local group's petition will allow Clovis voters to decide in the March 4 municipal election if they want alcohol sales on Sundays in Clovis restaurants.
While some city officials think Sunday alcohol sales would be good for the city, others say they will leave it to the voters to decide if they want it.
The Curry County Clerk's office counted 1,083 valid signatures of Clovis residents from a petition proposing alcohol sales on Sundays, Chief Deputy Clerk Coni Jo Lyman said Friday.
The community group Committee for Clovis Progress needed 725 signatures to place the proposal on the March 4 municipal election ballot, according to City Clerk LeighAnn Melancon.
The group circulated its petition Oct. 31 and recruited about 20 local restaurants and individuals to collect signatures from registered voters who live in Clovis, according to spokesman Robin Howe. Lyman said the group submitted 2,107 signatures.
The group circulated a similar petition in 2006 and collected 875 signatures, but only 575 signatures were valid. This year, Howe said the group checked the signatures it collected against a list of registered voters who live in Clovis.
"There was a lot of support in the community," he said. "There were literally twice as many signatures collected this time as there were two years ago, so that tells me there is a lot of support for it in the community and there's a lot of people here that are in favor of bringing this to a vote."
Lonnie Leslie, who heads the Curry County DWI task force, said Sunday alcohol sales would increase the potential of alcohol-related car accidents.
"My personal opinion is that Sunday would be one more day that a person might take the opportunity to over indulge and kill someone, like it's happened in my family three times," said Leslie, who lost his parents – and later his legal guardian – to a drunk driver.
Commissioner Bobby Sandoval said he sees no problem with Sunday alcohol sales.
"I see no problem with it at all — I'm a firm believer that you can't go get drunk at a restaurant," Sandoval said. "You can't eat and drink that much, they're not going to serve you alcohol unless they're serving you food."
He said the proposal would help with gross receipt taxes.
"There's a lot of people that like to go to fine restaurants, but they'd rather drive on a weekend to Lubbock or to Amarillo to have a glass of wine with their dinner," he said.
Commissioner and mayor pro-tem Randy Crowder said the petition is part of the democratic process and said it will be up to Clovis voters to decide if they want restaurants to sell alcohol on Sundays.
Commissioner and restaurant owner Juan Garza said he has mixed feelings about the proposal. He said he doesn't think the proposal will likely affect gross receipt taxes.
"It's one of those things that we're going to have to deal with it when the time comes," said Garza, who owns Juanito's Restaurant, which was a signature collection point for the petition.

Falling in Love with the L'Oreal Color Infallible Eyeshadow Emerald Lame!
Recently, I find myself incredibly drawn to green things. I was never a sucker for green, in fact, I HATED the color green.
When my Orientation Group Leader for our Freshmen Orientation Camp back in university called me up a few nights before camp and told me to wear a green t-shirt because our group's team color was green, my face turned green too. I had not a single thread of green in my wardrobe and had to borrow a green tank top from my sister.
So, I have no idea why anything green attracts me so much lately. I've been buying green tops, green bottoms, green bags, green eyeshadows, green eyeliners… I think I'm going through a green-phase. I hope it doesn't turn awry soon, meaning I suddenly dislike green again overnight.
In my previous post, I did a review on the Pupa Multiplay Triple Purpose Eye Pencil 02, a unique malachite green eyeliner. Please go get impressed with it. Lol.
One of the green things acquired in my green phase is the L'Oreal Color Infallible Eyeshadow in Emerald Lame. There were only 2 colors available when I was at the 30% BHG sale. The other was purple.
Also, even though it clearly spells as Infaillible on the packaging, it is spelt as Infallible everywhere else. Why? Just use Google Translate 'la couleur infaillible' and you'll get 'Color infallible'! The former is recognized as French. So, there. =)
Green is Gorgeous
Asking a green-crazy me to make a choice between a purple and green is akin to asking a spider to make a choice between eating a flower and a big juicy beetle.
The green was the choice to make, more so because the color captivated my heart the moment I swatched it! I was like swatch >> WOAH! >> take a new one >> throw it into my shopping bag.
By the way, I got the last one. Whew!
L'Oreal Color Infallible Eyeshadow in Emerald Lame is a black-based green peppered with a uniform distribution of gold shimmer.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Prosecutors have charged a man accused of killing his half brother with intimidating a witness.
According to a criminal complaint filed Thursday, Jeffrey Vogelsberg threatened his grandfather, James Robar, in a letter from jail last week.
Robar called police in July to report that Vogelsberg's half brother, Matthew Graville, had gone missing. Detectives eventually found Graville's body buried in the woods. Prosecutors charged Vogelsberg in November with first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse.
According to the new complaint, Robar told a detective Vogelsberg warned him reporting Graville's disappearance meant war. Vogelsberg sent Robar a copy of the detective's report on the remark from jail on Feb. 13. Robar said the letter disturbed him.
Vogelsberg's public defender didn't immediately return a message.

Allen's 2009 Post-Partisan Playoff Preview
It's that time of year again. October, when football has started, hockey is probably being played somewhere in Canada and the WNBA season is over. Assuming there's still a WNBA. Anyway, all that aside, October is also notable for being the only month when it is worth visiting the state of Michigan and for the glorious event known as the MLB playoffs. And in honor of those playoffs, even though I'm a day late, it's time to dust off another time honored tradition and bring you my second annual Post-Partisan Playoff Preview: TV pundit edition.
After starting with the American League last year, I felt it only fair to begin with the National League this time around. That's right, the National League, the right-leaning denizens of Major League baseball. Their's is a more conservative style of play, well suited to the talking heads who avail themselves on Fox News at any and all hours of the day. Designated hitter? No, thank you. We like having an automatic out every 9 batters. Home runs? Nah, we prefer letting our guys linger on base. Government intervention? Only when it helps out our stock portfolios.
And in this fray, we begin with the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies, our Rush Limbaugh. Still the undisputed champion, just like Rush, the Phillies have been showing the cracks that come with age and being at the top for so long. The Oxycontin that is Brad Lidge could spell the end for the Phils when it comes to close games but there's no doubt that they'll move on from the first round.
And the main reason they'll move on is because they're face to face with the Glenn Beck of the NL playoffs, the Colorado Rockies. No one is denying that they've got star quality but both Glenn and the Rockies are missing something. For Glenn, maybe it's those tears or the fact that he can't spell. For the Rockies, maybe it's that they never seem to be able to play well until it's almost too late. But either way, they'll both continue playing second fiddle to the guys above them.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers are almost as slick as their preview stand-in, Bill O'Reilly. Show him the facts and he'll show you something completely unrelated. Everything is tangential in "The No-Spin Zone" and tangential is a great way to describe how the Dodgers play. 15 game lead? Hm, maybe we can get one of our guys suspended for 50 games and play like we're all on Ambien to tighten this thing up. But at the end of the day, they get the job done. And whether you like it or not, there's too much talent there to be ignored.
And that's why we bid adieu in the first round to our Sean Hannity, the St. Louis Cardinals. Things are pretty easy when you're beating up on a guy like Alan Colmes, you know, kind of like playing in the NL Central this year. But when the chips are down, good luck against real competition.
On the other side, the American League, things sort out a little bit more easily. There are those who belong and those who just make you sit up and go "hm?" The National League has definitely been ascendant the last few years, winning 2 out of the last 3 World Series but the American League has a stranglehold on the All-Star Game. Whatever that's worth.
On this side, we start at the bottom, with the Alan Colmes of the the American League, the AL Central champion Minnesota Twins! Really, you're not excited either? Yeah, it's pretty hard to get excited about someone who snivels in the corner while getting the snot beat out of them. No one likes a bully but no one really likes the guy who's bleeding all over after getting beat up by the bully either. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2009 Minnesota Twins!
Out west we check in with the Los Angeles Angels (of Anaheim) as they do their best Rachel Maddow impression. It's not that anyone dislikes the Angels (or Maddow) or that they wish them ill. It's just more that they don't matter. Kind of like the AL West and MSNBC.
And the reason they don't matter is because they're going to get beat by our Wolf Blitzer, the Boston Red Sox (of Boston). Although maybe not a pundit in the traditional sense, Wolf does manage to insert his personal views into the conversation. And he sure does espouse a righteous anger when explaining how CNN is the only network you can trust. But it's just a lot of noise from someone who used to matter and really doesn't so much anymore. Yep, kind of like the Boston Red Sox.
Which only leaves us with the flatulent faded glory of our Larry King doppleganger, the New York Yankees. You know what, we've won 26 championships so what do you know? Hey, I've been on TV since it was invented so what do you know? They both have an excuse but something smells a little funky. Which isn't to say that they can't get nasty from time to time. Best to give them a wide berth.
And this brings us to the answers you have all been seeking. I'd love to see Hannity and Colmes reunited in the World Series but since they both go down in the first round, that's going to be kind of hard. Instead, Bill O'Reilly finally claims the coveted conservative mantle from Rush as the Dodgers avenge last year's loss and knock off the Phillies in the League Championship Series. Meanwhile, Wolf and Larry make it an all CNN final in the American League as the Yankees square off against the Red Sox. And, true to form, the Yankees
win the pennant.
But, the way things stand in the world today, even with a Democrat in the White House and a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, the left leaning punditocracy just can't hang in there against the overpowering noise of the right wingers. And as left coast meets right in a broadcast and advertising orgasm, the old Yankee manager knocks off the new one. Just make sure you don't miss the inevitable sucker punch because when the pundit-o-sphere is involved, you can be sure it's coming.

"Government intervention? Only when it helps out our stock portfolios."
LOL…while I typically roll my eyes at the constant RSBS Obamessiah worshipping and DNC cheerleading, I can at least say we are on the same page re: GOP/Conservative "limited government" lip service.
Oh, and quit ragging on the AL West, we had the best last-place team in all of baseball this year…take THAT you AL Westophiles!
That would be a great World Series Matchup. Yankees-Dodgers, former and recent Yankee managers collide. Hopefully we can see that but the Yankees would have to come out on top.
I thought I might root for the Dodgers (O'Reilly) but NOT now, and the Phillies (Limbaugh) can totally kiss off. Those two dudes really rub me the wrong way. Glenn Beck runs a close third.
~~~Wolf lost on Jeopardy….bay-beh…~~~
Blitzer is *still* licking his wounds after being creamed by a Desperate Housewife (Dana Delany) and slaughtered by a Comedian (Andy Richter) on Jeopardy. He was in the hole until Alex put him "back in black" so he would have something to wager for final jeopardy. Geez. If ya want to howl at the Wolf here it is: http://gawker.com/5362580/wolf-blitzer-lost-on-jeopardy
Allen is sadly putting up a playoff post, with his lonesome Tiger's having their tales between their legs.
Okay Allen and Jeff – I have been doing shorter and more compact posts lately, and haha i have noticed they have been like the RSBS blog. : ) So thanks for the motivation. I am going to be doing a new column, every once in awhile when I can called Fan's Take. If you have any suggestions on the name of the post like the "Filibuster" only some other name that I could use, then please feel free to let me know. Please enter a question into Fan's Take and email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for your time guys, you are the best.
So glad the Red Sox are not Nancy Grace. ha ha! I'll take Wolf and you make some good points. I can't totally disagree. We just have to hope the Yankees get the H1N1… (did I just say that?) Nooooo… not me.
I am so hoping for an LA vs NY World Series.. don't hate me.. it would be awesome!
I used to refer to Hannity and Colmes as "Hannity and Corpse" because Alan Colmes looks like the walking dead.

Was wondering if anyone has used a lesser known galactagogue to increase their milk supply (ie Not domperidone, Reglan, Mother's Milk Teo, Motherlove, Fenugreek, blessed thistle, etc).
I ordered some brewer's yeast, but I am wondering about an oxytocin nasal spray (mentioned in another thread), shatavari, and a New Zealand product called "naturopharm milk flow spray". Or anything else that worked for you that is way out of the ordinary.
I am taking domperidone now, as well as occasional Mother's Milk Tea. Currently out of More milk Plus and have been neglecting the fenugreek because it seems pretty useless.
Just curious if there is a strange "unknown" product out there.
I'm EPing and currently at 13 oz :cheer (from 4 oz 2.5 months ago). How great would it be if I could get it high enough to make formula negligible?! Just have to double what I have now!
And obviously I know pumping is the most important thing, but I have maxed out the number of sessions I can do in a day.
Btw thanks so much for all your help both with the mechanics AND the emotions this journey is taking me so far.

Cannon Ridge Golf Club
Fredericksburg, Virginia
April 23-25, 2004
FREDERICKSBURG, Va.âOn a day when low rounds were hard to come by, Matthew Skidmore of Oakland, Md., fired a course record 68 to take medalist honors at the Ashworth Junior at Cannon Ridge. Skidmoreâs 68 gave him a two-day total of 141 and a one-stroke victory over John Buchanan IV of Fairfax, Va.
The Ashworth Junior at Cannon Ridge is a 36-hole stroke play event conducted by the American Junior Golf Association at Cannon Ridge Golf Club. The tournament features 96 of the nationâs premier junior golfers, ages 12-18, from 20 states and Canada.
The AJGAâs Ashworth Series is designed specifically for first-time AJGA members or those members who have not yet participated in an AJGA Open event, AJGA Invitational or Nike Golf Junior All-Star Series event in the current calendar year and/or the previous calendar year.
Skidmore, who carded a 2-over-par 73 in Saturdayâs first round, sat three shots off the lead entering the final day of play.
The 16-year-old got off to a quick start by holing a 50-foot putt from just off the green on No. 1. He coupled that with a birdie on the par-4 second hole to get to 2-under-par after two holes.
âThe long putt on No. 1 really got me going,â Skidmore said. âAfter that, I really had confidence in my putter and kept making putts.â
With the exception of a bogey on No. 5, Skidmore finished out the front side with pars and completed his first nine holes with a 1-under-par 34.
The junior stayed at 1-under-par through his next five holes with a birdie on No. 12 alongside a bogey on No. 13. Skidmore then finished strong with a chip-in for birdie on No. 15 followed by another birdie on No. 18. The pair of birdies gave him a 2-under-par 34 on the back nine and a 3-under-par total of 68. When combined with Saturdayâs 73, the 68 helped Skidmore to his tournament winning total of 141.
âI am totally shocked right now,â Skidmore said. âI canât believe I won in a field with this many great players, and to set a course record on top of that is even more unbelievable.â
Buchanan, who was playing in his first AJGA event, carded a 1-under-par 70 in Sundayâs final round. This in addition to his 1-over-par 72 from the first round left the junior one stroke off the pace with a two-day total of 142.
It would have been nice to win, but this feels great,â Buchanan said. âI played really consistent golf all weekend.â
Finishing three strokes behind Skidmore in a tie for third place were Jack Schultz of Whitefish Bay, Wis., and Timothy Courtney of Midlothian, Va. Steve Kidron of Horsham, Pa., placed fifth with a two-day 145.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA has a membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.

Food-chain reaction: Vt. wildlife shifting with weatherOctober 21,2012Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
The bald eagle, such as this one seen over Lake Bomoseen in Castleton last winter, are among the bird species gaining ground due to conservation efforts and climate change.
Editors note: Five years ago, this paper explored recent climate shifts in a set of reports titled Vermonts Changing Seasons. This story is part of a monthly series of updates.
By Kevin OConnor
As a biologist for the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, John Austin helps keep score of the states 40 species of reptiles and amphibians, 58 species of mammals, 91 species of fish, 258 species of birds and more than 20,000 species of invertebrates.
Lately, warmer weather has thrown him a curveball.
Longer summers and shorter winters are extending Vermonts growing season and variety of habitats and harvests. Thats good if youre a black vulture or other animal lured by the forests and fruits that sprout with more moderate temperatures. But thats bad if youre a Bicknells thrush or other cold-environment creature thats increasingly finding the state too hot to handle.
Climate change is having and will continue to have significant effects on Vermonts fish and wildlife, Austin has written in a recent state report. Certain species may simply disappear. At the same time, other species of plants and animals may thrive.
In this only-too-real game of Survivor, there will be winners and losers, Austin says. Hes speaking not only about wildlife but also of the 62 percent of Vermonters who fish, hunt or watch birds netting the state related spending of more than $700 million.
Fowl weather
Vermont boasts one of the highest numbers of breeding bird species in the continental United States. But while some populations are increasing, others are decreasing, according to the Vermont Breeding Bird Atlas, first published in 1985 and set for a second edition next year.
Statewide counts are finding some species gaining because of conservation efforts specifically, the bald eagle, common loon, osprey, peregrine falcon and wild turkey. But other birds Southern species such as cardinals and Carolina wrens, for example are flying north simply because its feeling more like home.
Red-bellied woodpeckers once were so rare in the Green Mountains, they werent recorded in the first atlas. A quarter-century later, theyre common enough that the second edition will report sightings in seven of Vermonts 14 counties, including northernmost Grand Isle.
On the flip side, rising temperatures are threatening to reduce the breeding range of several species that prefer cooler climates.
Consider the Bicknells thrush, a relatively rare songbird that inhabits the spruce and balsam firs atop mountain peaks. In Vermont, nests can be found on such summits as Mansfield (the states tallest at 4,393 feet) and ski slopes including Killington and Stratton. But warmer weather is supplanting the traditional conifer habitat with more Southern trees, studies show.
As a result, the Bicknells thrush is one of 57 birds on the Fish and Wildlife Departments Species of Greatest Conservation Need list, while the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering placing the bird under the protection of the federal Endangered Species Act.
Biologists and birdwatchers say everyone should care about the Bicknells thrush because the states ecology is woven together like one big nest. Such birds dont simply sing and fly, they also pollinate plants, disperse seeds and eat insects such as the gypsy moths, tent caterpillars and eastern spruce budworms that can threaten orchards and woodlots.
Troubled waters
Down in the valleys, Vermonts rivers and streams offer some of the best wild brook trout conditions in the East. But as the states average temperatures are increasing, cold-water fish habitat is decreasing.
Brook trout the states most widely distributed and only native stream-dwelling trout require the high levels of oxygen found only in clear currents of 50 to 65 degrees. But fluctuating weather running the spectrum from flash flooding to drought has led to fluctuating levels of water and aquatic life.
Many fish spawn in the spring in response to snow melting into rivers. Not enough water can endanger the start of the cycle, while a freak storm can wash out all the nests where eggs are laid. A summer drought, for its part, can diminish a stream and decrease fish size. And if fall spawning comes with low stream levels, rivers can freeze to the bottom in the winter, killing the eggs that require a flow of oxygenated water.
While nearly 14 percent of Vermonts watershed is deemed healthy for brook trout, another 63 percent has degraded because of warmer temperatures and other changing conditions, according to a first-ever study by the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture, made up of 17 state fish and wildlife agencies, five federal environmental offices and several conservation groups and schools.
Another 5-degree rise in average temperature, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency warns, could eliminate brook trout entirely in Vermont.
As cold-water fish wane, warm-water varieties are moving in. Bass are a native species west of the Green Mountains but not to the east. Yet because they dont need as much oxygen and thus thrive with rising temperatures, theyre multiplying throughout the state.
Trading bass for brook trout comes with consequences.
People value brook trout not only for their beauty, their delicious taste, and their sportfish qualities, but also as indicators of the broader health of the watersheds where they live, the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture says on its website. Strong wild brook trout populations demonstrate that a stream or river ecosystem is healthy and that water quality is excellent. A decline in brook trout populations can serve as an early warning that the health of an entire system is at risk.
In the end
Climate change promises to ripple throughout Vermonts food chain.
As species relocate on the landscape and change the timing of important natural processes (e.g. reproduction, migration), Austin writes in his report, it is possible that some natural community associations, predator-prey relationships or species habitat preferences will be entirely unlike present-day interactions and may lead to unanticipated consequences.
Warmer weather, for example, promises to increase populations of deer and opossum, the report says. But it could decimate weasel-like martens, an endangered species in Vermont that lives in the diminishing spruce and fir forests of the Northeast Kingdom. And it could diminish moose, which are facing an increase in heat-loving, disease-laden ticks.
Austin and his colleagues understand they cant single-handedly stop global warming. But the state is aiming to better address the shifting situation.
The future of fish and wildlife is unpredictable because we know things will change we just dont know how or when, the biologist says. We have to think more carefully about how were going to track and monitor those changes. And, even more important, we need to be strategic about how we respond so we can successfully conserve our native plants and animals.
The state also is working to maintain enough varied habitats so that species have an opportunity to move and adapt in response to whatever changes may occur, Austin adds.
The Fish and Wildlife Department, for example, is collaborating with the Vermont Agency of Transportation, governments in surrounding states and nonprofit conservation organizations on a Staying Connected Initiative to identify and protect travel corridors for animals. Its also seeking to educate the citizenry, whose property makes up 80 percent of the state.
Private landowners continue to hold the key for wildlife conservation in Vermont, Austin says. Fish and wildlife will respond to climate change in various ways, but their ability to respond is only as good as their ability to move within the broader landscape. In the end, its all about conserving habitat.

Fans fed their appetites at The Counter, as they devoured the final episode of Lost.
?I just want to know what?s going on with everybody. What?s going to happen it?s been leading up to this moment and I want to see how it ends,? said Manisha Gautami.
One of the Kahala restaurants owners is Lost actor Daniel Dae Kim.
?He?s brought a great vibe to the restaurant, where we have the cast and crew coming and we?ve had tourists come from all countries all over to try our restaurant,? said co-owner Eddie Robles.
Sunday evening?s menu offered cold beer featured on the television show.
?There?s just nothing like it. I?ve never watched a TV show that?s as good and as intriguing as this show,? said Justin Okamoto.
Lost fans watched the series finale and said they hoped to gain closure.
?I want to know if Lockes going to die,? said Josh Nelson of Ewa Beach.
?What I would like to have answered is basically Hurley, I want to see what?s going on him,? said John Fleener.
Lost fans said they would miss the diversity of the cast.
?Kate, definitely got to be Kate. She?s got to be one of the coolest chicks in the world,? said Nelson.
?Sawyer, I like him a lot. ??I think he?s cute,? said Gautami.
Although fans said they enjoyed all six seasons of Lost, they don?t expect to see a spin-off.
?I don?t think they could really do a spin-off with this show because I think it?s just perfect the way it is,? said Okamoto.
?To many questions, once it finally done I?ll be ready for a break,? said Nelson.

agree with pp. I've been on mine since August 2004. First for conception & pregnancy, then for nursing and then because of wanting a 2nd child.
So if you're thinking of having more kids then you may find it easier to just stay on rather than restarting them a couple months prior to trying to conceive. (Aside: I stress this because of the folate in the vit.s: remember it's in the 2nd month of prenatal life that the fetus' neural tube closes so some moms don't even know they are pregnant yet before the damage is done).

Today, we're off to the Big Island of Hawaii. Few places on our planet remain unexplored, but one of them is here in Hawaii, on the eastern slopes of the Mauna Kea Volcano.
National Geographic's Eric Leifer and his team went on a quest to find out what lies inside the untouched canyons of this remote area....and film it!
Their footage reveals them struggling through countless waterfalls and nearly impenetrable vegetation, even jumping off a small cliff into a pool of water below.
By documenting this pristine forest, the team hopes to be able to fill in another blank spot on our maps.

I Wonder if Their Mom is Julie
We have already learned much in the first 13 days of 2009. We know who our new representatives to the baseball Hall of Fame will be, even if the lack of transparency and intelligence associated with the voting process make the Electoral College seem positively inspired by comparison. We also know that Alan Trammell will not be entering the hall anytime soon and with that knowledge broke many a young man's heart. Well, at least mine.
But, there is good news, too. Especially for people like my friend Jeff who are unnaturally taken with ESPN's sideline reporter, Erin Andrews. It appears that Ms. Andrews was not the only temptress to spring forth from her mother's womb because she also has a younger (and I might add, much more attractive) sister, Kendra.
That's right, it now appears that the true battle to be waged by Mr. Lung and myself this season is over the relative merits of the Andrews sisters, not why the AL Central is superior to the NL Central. Obviously there are similarities. For instance the AL, like Kendra, is younger and vastly superior to its elder and more venerable sibling (last season's World Series win by the Phillies not withstanding). However, this argument will not be settled overnight and we look forward to further exploiting the reporting prowess of Deadspin and Busted Coverage to bring you more of this developing debate.

It's going to be a long time until spring training starts isn't it? Grab a towel boys….you're drooling on the 'puter again.
And you give me grief for my Madonna/Kate Hudson posts? But now that you mention it, Kendra is quite attractive. However, her hair color….Is that an actual hair color?
Oops. I was distracted trying to think up a really unique shade of red.
Well, Im not sure that battle can legitimately be won because is she looks like that and her younger sister is "hotter" than it's splitting hairs. Congrats on the #1 too btw and that the rankings were non-nefarious. Hehe


text: I haven't yet taken our daughter in to the dentist for this, but... She has yellow spots on the front of both of her front teeth. The pediatrician said it is from the antibiotics she was on while those teeth were developing. Not all kids get it, but some (mine) do. I haven't checked the backs. Is he certain it is carries/cavities/whatever? She just called it stains and some weakened enamel and to be careful to brush often.

/ Ag adviser helps teach Iraqi and Afghani people about water and conservation
By Stephanie Richie
Michael I. Gangwer, a resource conservationist with NRCS, served as an ag adviser in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he helped those nations in the fields of conservation and agriculture.
Michael I. Gangwer, a resource conservationist with USDA's Natural Resource Conservation Service in East Lansing, Mich., helped to build agricultural irrigation expertise among the Afghanistan and Iraqi people.
Stationed in Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan in 2006 and 2007, Gangwer served as a USDA agricultural advisor in a civil affairs unit. When he arrived, he said, he was quite amazed at the destruction of war and immediately got to work in helping the Afghanistan people rebuild what was destroyed.
USDA agricultural advisers are employees who have volunteered to work with the United States military since 2003 and worked on conservation and other agricultural projects with local farmers in Afghanistan and Iraq as part of the United States' civilian effort in reconstruction. Each volunteer had unique experiences, shaped by local needs and the skillsets they brought to the country.
He provided technical assistance to people to improve their crop irrigation. By installing drip irrigation, a practice that places water at the base of the plant, the amount of water used is more efficient and effective.
Gangwer said his greatest challenge was changing perspectives. He realized he needed to view farming and conservation through the lens of Afghanistan culture rather than from a United States perspective.
"Basically, there were language barriers and trust issues from the Afghanistan people," he said. "Trying to understand their language, and asking them to trust you as an outsider coming into help fix their country was very difficult for them."
While stationed in Afghanistan, Gangwer also taught a 20-week agricultural course to 110 officials with the Ministry of Agriculture on soil sampling and water irrigation practices. Gangwer said that he felt satisfied with the way his work had a trickle-down effect in passing along this important conservation information.
Work in Afghanistan was sometimes dangerous. While riding in an armored truck one day, Gangwer was shot at but luckily was protected by the truck's bulletproof glass. "This was the closest I ever came to dying," he said.
But the fear of danger never deterred Gangwer from wanting to continue to help. He signed up for another 18-month tour a couple of years later, and he volunteered to serve in Iraq.
In 2009 and 2010, Gangwer served as the soil and water policy adviser in the Agricultural Affairs Office of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad to Iraq, where he was asked to step in by USDA to provide his expertise.
While in Iraq, he helped with a $1 million project that included rebuilding new electrical grids, regaining Internet access, replacing office and lab equipment, collecting farming supplies and irrigation equipment and working on other efforts.
Presently, the station is fully operational with staff that is well-trained in irrigation management techniques, drip irrigation management, and they are able to effectively monitor and evaluate climates to determine when is the best time for the people to use the fertilized soil and develop their crops on the soil. With this expert training, the staff can now assist the Iraqi people with agriculture-related issues, specifically crop production and water usage.
Gangwer wrote a book called "Finding Green in Iraq," about his time in Iraq. The book includes 301 photographs of his experiences and assignments in Iraq.
"I would welcome the opportunity to be deployed anywhere again, and I thank USDA, the State Department, the Department of Defense, and the Foreign Agricultural Service for allowing me this wonderful opportunity," he said.

my DS is 14 mos old and has been a happy nurser almost from day one. but now that he is older, he is easily distracted and sometimes will decide that nursing isn't what he wants to be doing.
today, we were with my in-laws for a baptism and potluck and i took him to the car around 1:45 to nurse so that when i went to work at 2:30 til 10:30 i wouldn't feel engorged. and he wouldn't nurse. he played with the car buttons and the windows, pushed me away and had no interest in nursing.
i got home from work around 10:30 and was going to wake him since i'm feeling very full and tender, and my husband said that he's been patient this long, and now it's time to wean him.
he thinks that there is no reason to keep nursing him since he is eating table foods so well, drinks from a cup just fine, and is generally happy not to nurse unless he is tired or not feeling good.
the only thing he won't drink is milk, and we keep offering it to him, but he just tosses the cup on the floor. he does eat cheese, yogurt, and other calcium rich foods, and he eats alot of protein and fats (peanut butter, cream cheese, beans, meat ect) but just not milk.
so i guess what im asking since i didn't have this issue with our daughter (she self weaned at 8 mos and we barely nursed anyways) is how do i go about weaning him? i haven't nursed for 10 hrs, and i expect him to sleep another 6 at least. will i get an infection? i have gone 10 hrs or so without nursing when we've traveled, or slept great and was only slightly engorged. should i just not offer at all? or when he wakes up, nurse as usual? or just give a cup of milk or juice? he's been healthy and happy from day one, and i see no reason to stop nursing, but pressure from hubby, family, friends, work, and sometimes just feeling like it would be so much easier if it were over has given me thoughts on weaning.
any thoughts would be great. thanks!!

- Abstract
- We demonstrate an active microfluidic platform that integrates dielectrophoresis for the control of silver nanoparticles spacing, as they flow in a liquid channel. By careful control of the nanoparticles spacing, we can effectively increase the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal intensity based on augmenting the number of SERS-active hot-spots, while avoiding irreversible aggregation of the particles. The system is benchmarked using dipicolinate (2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid) (DPA), which is a biomarker of Bacillus anthracis. The validity of the results is discussed using several complementing characterization scenarios.

New York residents are used to pesky, fearless and quick cockroaches invading spaces they shouldn't be. But now, New Yorkers have a new worry: a recently identified breed of "super roach" that's new to the city.
It is known as the Periplaneta japonica, a type of roach well documented in Asia, but never actually confirmed in the United States — until now. The roach was spotted on the High Line, an elevated park built along an old railroad spur in New York, by an exterminator in 2012. It was recently identified by scientists from Rutgers University, Dominic Evangelista and Jessica Ware.
If you're wondering how it got here, experts say it was likely a stowaway in the soil of plants that are used to line the elevated park. The roach made its way to the U.S. and reproduced.
To add to the horror, you know how regular cockroaches can survive pretty much anything? These guys have special powers as well: they can survive outdoors in the freezing cold.
Some were worried these cockroaches would mate with the ones already in New York and create a super bug of sorts. But, don't worry. Experts say it's impossible, as the gentalia of the two species don't "match."
"The male and female genitalia fit together like a lock and key. and that differs by species," Evangelista said.

with ed out of town, i finally got around to doing an apartment tour this weekend. it's hard to take pics when i'm asking him to move out of the shot every 2 seconds. of course, sam wiggins still snuck into some of the photos. honestly, i kept procrastinating the home tour because i was afraid you'd be appalled at the smallness of our 1 bedroom. then i figured, i don't really care what you think, and moved on. the lighting situation in our apartment is less than ideal for taking pics, so i apologize for the yellowness of most of the shots.
this nook doubles as our work station and dining table. though you will usually find me working at the table and eating on the couch. woops.

LESSINGâS AJGA CLASSIC
Rockaway Hunting Club
Lawrence, New York
July 25-29, 2004
LO AND BRADLEY ENTER FINAL ROUND TIED FOR LEAD AT LESSINGâS
LAWRENCE, N.Y. âEric Lo, of Yi-Lam, Taiwan, and Keegan Bradley of Hopkinton, Mass., both took advantage of a surprisingly calm day at Rockaway Hunting Club, known for its breezy conditions. They erased one- and two-stroke deficits to tie for the lead at 2-over-par 142 after the second round.
The lead in the Girls Division also changed hands with Abigale Schepperle of Hoover, Ala., and Mayule Tomimbang of Kissimmee, Fla., both carding a two-round total of 8-over-par 148.
The Lessingâs AJGA Classic is a 54-hole tournament conducted by the American Junior Golf Association at Rockaway Hunting Club in Lawrence, N.Y. The tournament features 84 of the nationâs premier junior golfers, ages 12-18, from 11 states and Taiwin, including 20 from New York.
Making his AJGA debut, Lo started off the day with a shaky start by bogeying hole No. 2 and double-bogeying Nos. 3 and 4 to put him 5-over-par through five holes. Immediately bouncing back, Lo birdied three of his next four holes and finished the rest of the round at 3-under-par.
âMy iron play has been pretty good,â Lo said. âI think I should have played better, but Iâm just going to quit putting pressure on myself and have fun.â
Lo finished the day with five birdies and a 2-over-par 72.
Bradley, on the other hand, played very consistent golf and hung around par all day. He finished the first 17 holes at even par before a bogey on No. 18 gave him his second consecutive round of 1-over-par 71.
âI have played pretty solid so far, but need to shoot under par,â said Bradley. âMy wedge game has been good and I am definitely trying to win this thing.
âTo be honest, I love the wet and rainy conditions and hope tomorrow is the worst day that we have had.â
Greg Feldmann of Wellesley, Mass., is in third at 4-over-par 144, while Jimmy Arbes of Westfield, N.J., and Mark Washburn II of Reston, Va., are tied for fourth at 5-over-par 145.
A soon-to-be Auburn Tiger golfer, Schepperle overtook her younger sister Candace for the lead by firing a 1-over-par 71.
âI hit fairways and greens a lot better today,â Schepperle said. âI am kind of sad that this is my last junior tournament, so I am just going to have a good time.â
Tomimbang had much more of an up-and-down round as she made five birdies, but also had five bogies to finish at even-par 70.
âI putted really well today,â Tomimbang said. âIt feels really good (being tied for the lead).â
Susannah Aboff of Huntington, N.Y., is in third just one stroke off the lead at 9-over-par 149.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The largest association of its kind, the AJGA has a junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. More than 160 former AJGA juniors currently play on the PGA and LPGA Tours and have compiled more than 300 wins. AJGA alumni include Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Mike Weir, Charles Howell III, Jim Furyk, Vicki Goetze-Ackerman, Grace Park, Christie Kerr and Beth Bauer.
Final-round tee times begin at 7 a.m. Thursday off the No. 1 tee at Rockaway Hunting Club. For more information about the Lessingâs AJGA Classic, please contact tournament headquarters at (516) 569-0600.

Development Process Resources
Development Plan Review
Before new construction in Montgomery County can take place, a property owner, developer, or builder must demonstrate that each building requiring sanitary service will have both an adequate fresh water supply and a wastewater disposal system. This service may be provided by public water and sewerage systems, by private wells and septic systems, or by a combination of public and private service.
DEP Input to the Development Review Committee
A developer typically proposes a subdivision plan to divide a tract of land into building lots, streets, and open space. The developer submits the plan to the Montgomery County Department of Planning in one or more of several forms (e.g., preliminary plan, site plan, project plan) depending on the site's zoning and development concept. These proposed plans are reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC), an interagency committee that reviews and comments on new and revised development plans. The DRC's recommendations are brought before the five-member Montgomery County Planning Board for consideration and final action.
The DRC is made up of staff from
The DRC meets in regularly scheduled sessions that are open to the public but are not public hearings. DEP verifies whether the water and sewer service systems proposed for each plan are consistent with the policies and service area designations in the Water and Sewer Plan. DEP staff members report their findings for each proposed plan scheduled for the DRC meeting to the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), the Washington Suburban Sanitation Commission (WSSC) and the Department of Permitting Services (DPS). They send a copy of the comments to the project engineer or planner designated on the M-NCPPC plan review application form.
M-NCPPC staff members forward recommendations on subdivision plans to the Montgomery County Planning Board for consideration and action. Plans that do not satisfy the Water and Sewer Plan's requirements cannot proceed to consideration and approval by the Montgomery County Planning Board until all inconsistencies are resolved. In some cases, the development site completes a service area category change request. In others, the plan is altered to conform to the type of sanitary service designated for that area of the County.
Developers or project engineers may find it helpful to contact DEP staff to discuss the water and sewer proposals for new projects—especially those that may require a category change approval—before submitting a development plan to M-NCPPC. For further assistance, contact the Department of Environmental Protection at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 311.
Water/Sewer Service Coordination with the Master Planning Process
Local area master plans and sector plans are crucial to coordinating the development planning and water/sewer planning processes. These plans direct the character, pattern and density of development in the County's communities. The level of coordination between master plans and water/sewer service planning varies. A sector plan for downtown Bethesda, an area served exclusively by public systems, will not deal much with water and sewer service. However, the recently approved master plan for Damascus, where the boundaries between areas served by public utilities and private water and sewer systems have changed, will deal with the subject at more length. For master plan areas such as Damascus, DEP staff members are usually involved in the master plan development, review, and approval process from the early stages.
Record Plat Approvals and RPIF
DEP's coordination with the development review and approval process continues through the recordation of subdivision plats. In most cases, this is DEP's final verification that proposed development will conform to the requirements of the County's Water and Sewer Plan. For each plat submitted, DEP staff cross check the sanitary systems proposed with the existing service area categories in the Water and Sewer Plan. This includes verifying consistency with any service conditions or restrictions applied to those water and sewer categories (e.g., single hookups, use of cluster, multiuse systems).
For plats that propose sewer service from Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, DEP also calculates a daily anticipated sewage treatment capacity for the development resulting from each plat. This calculation is based on standard treatment flow factors for various types of development as provided by WSSC. For example:
These treatment flows are reported to WSSC and placed in reserve at the specific wastewater treatment plant receiving the flow from that development project; for example, Blue Plains Wastewater Treatment Plant or Seneca. This effort results from a mandate from the State of Maryland to ensure that the County and WSSC have reserved sufficient wastewater treatment capacity for approved development. The County's plat-processing and flow calculations do not cover Rockville, Gaithersburg, or Washington Grove at this time.
Record Plat Information Form
The DEP Record Plat Information Form (RPIF) is intended to provide the information needed for DEP to complete its review and approval of the plat. This avoids delays in processing while DEP stops to contact the project engineer to verify the intended sanitary service or the type and amount of development proposed.
DEP requires that the project engineer submit a single copy of the draft plat and a completed DEP Record Plat Information Form (RPIF) to DEP for each plat. The RPIF should be returned to: Water & Wastewater Division, DEP, 255 Rockville Pike Suite #120, Rockville, MD 20850.
Download a copy of the Record Plat Information Form (RPIF) (.doc, 77.5KB)
Be Aware! DEP should receive these materials only after the draft plat has been assigned an M-MCPPC file number (e.g., 2-09478 or 220094780).
Real Estate Transaction Disclosures
When considering any property purchase, it's important to understand how that property gets its water supply and handles wastewater disposal. In real estate transactions in Montgomery County, the seller must disclose information concerning the availability of water and sewer service. The Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors (GCAAR) has developed a disclosure form for this and other purposes (e.g., property taxes, special protection areas, forest conservation). On the disclosure form, the seller can provide the buyer with information on the following water and wastewater issues:
The seller's agent provides the disclosure form as part of the materials needed for settlement of the property transaction.
If you need water and sewer category information to complete a disclosure form, please feel free to contact DEP staff by email at email@example.com or by telephone at 311. (Outside of the county call 240-777-0311.) You may also contact DEP if a disclosure form provided to you by a seller does not include service area category information you want to see. Note that, in the majority of cases researched by DEP, a property currently served by public water and sewerage systems is already designated as categories W-1 and S-1.

Retired priest loses ear in unholy brawl
Priest, 80, bites other priest's ear off over parking space
An 80-year-old Catholic priest in Australia is accused of biting another priest's ear off over a parking spot.
The Rev. Thomas Henry Byrne was charged late last week with grievous bodily harm over the incident involving his neighbor, 81-year-old the Rev. Thomas Joseph Cameron Smith, Perth Now reported.
According to authorities, the two got into a scuffle after Smith refused to give up his parking space.
Following a brief struggle, Byrne told Smith to pick an item up off the ground, The Daily Mail reported.
The "item" was Smith's ear, which he wrapped in a towel and took to a local hospital. He was taken into surgery, while police took Byrne into custody.
Byrne had a black eye when he appeared in court Friday, The Independent reported.

George Youth Center celebration set
BARNESVILLE – The 50th anniversary of the Albert S. George Youth Center in Barnesville Memorial Park will be celebrated Saturday with a program and refreshments between 9:30 and 11 a.m.
Special recognition will be given concerning the late Albert S. George, whose generosity made the center possible.
Reminiscences from representatives of those involved during the early days of the center are planned. These include the architect, William M. Stubbs, now of Florida; the contractor, the late Walter Tickhill; and the first park director, the late Bob Fleming. Comments also will be made by others associated with the Youth Center over the years.
Ken Keylor will serve as master of ceremonies for Saturday's anniversary celebration, which is open to the public.
George's support and generosity not only resulted in the construction of the Youth Center at the park, but it was a major factor in the creation of Barnesville's lighted baseball field.
The bulk of his $250,000 estate in 1950 named three major benefactors after the death of his wife. Those three were Barnesville Hospital, Memorial Park and the youth of Barnesville. He was an avid baseball fan and served as president of the Park Lights Association which provided funding for the lights for the baseball field. He also served as treasurer for Memorial Park Pool Inc.
Quite a controversy resulted over the location of a youth center. The majority wanted it downtown close to the schools. Others who had checked the short-lived success of centers in other towns voted to put it at Memorial Park where it has served the youth and community year round for 50 years.
Barnesville Hospital received a bequest of more than $100,000 from George's estate, and the money was used for a 22-bed addition completed in 1964. It included a new pediatrics room, an examination room, an additional surgery and recovery room with modernization of the entire operating suite, a new and bigger laboratory, an enlarged radiology department, a new labor room, and a new nurses' lounge in the maternity suite. The latest and most modern equipment was added.
George was a man of diverse interests and occupations. He was associated for 20 years with the M-K Grocery chain, serving as vice president and assistant treasurer during its wholesale and retail ventures. In addition, he founded the Barnesville Locker and Storage Co. on South Chestnut Street. In 1941, he bought the Howell Milling business and operated it under the name, Hilltop Mills. South of Barnesville on Ohio 800, he established a farm with a herd of Guernsey cows.
Mr. and Mrs. George were members of the First Methodist Church and gave the chimes which played each evening from the church's tower.
Some of the other bequests in Albert George's will went to the Methodist Church in Lloydsville, town of his birth; the Masonic Lodge, Order of Eastern Star; and several former employees.
After a long illness, George died in Barnesville Hospital in September 1950, but thousands continue to enjoy the benefits of his legacy.
