November 15, 2012 —
On Election Day after casting my ballot I took a drive down PA Route 191 to see the Larches.
It may sound like the surname of some old family friends who are up for the weekend or the long-lost name of a distant cousin (to be sure, the Larches are as contradictory as some of my most eccentric relatives) but they are friends of a different sort.
The Eastern Larch or Tamarack, its Native American name, is one of my favorite trees. Each autumn I seek out these tall, pyramid-shaped trees that are easiest to spot after their slender, green spines have turned yellow. Usually I do a drive-by to see the stand of larch that grows above Equinunk, just off of Route 191.They are tall, yellow trees that on closer inspection, seem to shimmer with tones of iridescent purple and rusty pink.
But it is not only the larch's color that seems to shift. As a conifer, the larch produces cones; but contrary to conifers, they also shed their needle-like leaves in autumn, which is the mark of deciduous trees.
Larches grow from the Ohio River Valley north to the Arctic. Natives are said to have used the tough root fibers of the tamarack to bind birch bark canoes. The tree has also been used for railroad ties, fence posts and to make newspaper. It is also a food source for ruffed grouse, porcupine and deer.
Tuesday was a sunny day—the first in a while. And as I drove along the route I saw the tell-tale reminders of Hurricane Sandy—heaved up roots of fallen hemlocks and a convoy of utility trucks. I realized it is late autumn now, headed toward the first day of winter. The knotweed that flanks the Delaware River is as rust colored as old barbed wire. Only a few oak trees still clung to their golden leaves. There were large, roiling flocks of grackles gathered in the trees—rising and landing again. There were gnarled apple orchards—remainders of long-gone farms. There were the ghosts of old apple trees.
The larches also remind me of Eileen Pagan, a writer who was a member of the Upper Delaware Writers Collective in the 90's and early 2000's, as was I. Eileen was a thoughtful reader and writer, who's contrary nature enriched her observations. She loved, and wrote often of, the larches on her property in Forestburg. In her poem "Solstice" she writes of both the winter and summer solstices, pinpointing the sun's position on summer solstice as "… north of the seventh larch." She often invited me down to see these favorite trees but I, for whatever reason, never went. Eileen died in 2008. In "Solstice" she writes:
"Each year as I face the precise moments
Of each of these two distant bursts,
Something ferocious happens.
My eyes soften into crafty gentleness, wise carefreeness.
I am serene and just the right size.
Not ordinary times.
I am not a wolf,
but a free creature."

Don't mean to stereotype, but he reminds one of an artist.
He was dressed in workout pants and a plaid shirt and seemed slightly distracted, as if he was only half listening or he was one of those people who think about so many things at once that they always seem spacey but are actually just a genius.
Come to find out, he was just short on sleep and had a lot happening in terms of finishing the installation of his exhibition so that it would be ready to open.
"Metal in Motion: A collection of works by Mark Scrapdaddy Bradford" is only the second solo exhibit of his career, but even before it is open, it seems to be his favorite.
"My dream was to have a setting like this," he said of the Beeville display.
He is using both the outside yard that surrounds the Beeville Art Museum and all the rooms inside to display his eclectic collection of metal sculptures, art cars and motorized pieces.
Overzealous about his latest exhibition, Bradford even made some brand-new pieces that were just being finished as the loading trucks showed up last week.
"Most of this stuff is new, and I wanted to bring my best stuff," he said, looking around the room in the museum. "I knew I had a lot of space to fill too."
Bradford walks from room to room during the interview, looking at how his pieces were unpacked and displayed.
He seems impressed as he enters each room and stops to tell stories about how some of his favorite pieces came to be.
He hasn't seen the pieces since they were packed on the truck in Houston a few days ago and with some of them being newly finished, he looks at them like he has never seen them before.
"A lot of my art represents living things, and I am like the father – or daddy – of each creature I make," Bradford said.
Hence the name "Scrapdaddy".
Not only does Bradford feel like a daddy to his pieces, he also names them and gives many of them eyes, making them even more lifelike.
Looking closely at some of sculptures, a heart or two can even be found in what could be considered the chest region of the pieces.
Bradford, who has been working as an artist for 25 years, literally uses scrap metal to make his creations.
The Houston native makes multiple trips a week to a local scrap yard.
"It's only on the top of the pile for a few hours or a few days at best," he said.
The material the sculptures are made out of can be anything; it all depends on what he finds at the scrap yard.
Great finds include thousands of metal spoons from an airline that was disposing of its silverware, copper roofing that was blown off during a storm and sheets of stainless steel.
The materials can sometimes dominate his creative process. For example, the spoon find led to two distinctive art car projects.
The first car used the bowl part of the spoons as scales on one of his creatures. For the second project, he welded the handles of the spoons together like a fan and then the fans were welded onto a frame to make scales for yet another creation.
He points to pictures on the wall of the two art cars he has just described.
The amount of time it takes to build one of his creatures varies greatly.
"Some pieces take 1,000 hours, and some pieces take just a couple of days," he said. "You have to work with what you've got."
Bradford took some classes on sculpture at Houston Community College, but much of his skill was self taught, including learning how hydraulic systems worked so he could make his creatures come to life even more with the introduction of movement.
Bradford said he works on multiple projects simultaneously, so if he gets stuff he can move onto something else, but he still has great appreciation for a deadline.
One of Bradford's most prized pieces is "Mr. Green," an art car that won the grand trophy at the 2012 Houston Art Car Parade.
"Mr. Green" is now in Beeville. He was brought to North Adams Street on the back of a flatbed truck, but when it came to getting the piece onto the grounds of the museum, a crane was needed. A nervous Bradford paced and yelled directions to the crane operation.
There was a moment when the piece was hanging suspended in the air and being swung over the fence when everyone was holding their breath.
Once the piece was set in the grass, relief could almost be heard coming from people. Bradford quickly got a ladder and mounted his piece, beginning to assemble it again.
The piece, now assembled, will come to life when Bradford does a live demonstration of Mr. Green's abilities during the exhibit's opening reception on Jan. 26 from noon until 2 p.m.
His work will be on display Jan. 26 through May 3 at the Beeville Art Museum.

Report on Successful K-12 STEM Education (Part of a Continuing Series)
The Sept. 8 issue of OVAE Connection outlined the first goal of STEM education from the report, Successful K–12 STEM Education: Identifying Effective Approaches in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics by a committee of the National Research Council, part of the National Academy of Sciences. The second goal set by the Committee is:
Goal 2. Expand the STEM-capable workforce and broaden the participation of women and minorities in that workforce. The Committee identified a two-fold objective with regard to expanding the STEM-capable workforce. As we noted last week, increasing the number of STEM-capable workers with advanced degrees in the STEM disciplines is essential if the U.S. is to retain its role as a leader in innovation in the 21st century. Equally as important for the health of the U.S. economy, is increasing the "number of people who are prepared for STEM-related careers, such as being K–12 teachers in the STEM disciplines, medical assistants, nurses, and computer and green energy technicians." According to the committee's report, these careers typically require a vocational certification attesting to specialized STEM knowledge, an associate degree, or a baccalaureate degree in a STEM field. They do not necessarily require an advanced degree. (See The STEM Workforce Challenge: The Role of the Public Workforce System in a National Economy for a Competitive Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Workforce, 2007, cited in the committee's report.)
The current demand for STEM-capable workers exceeds the supply of persons who have been trained in STEM fields. The opportunities for these STEM-trained workers are significant. According to Lacey and Wright, cited in the report (see Occupational Employment Projections to 2018), "16 of the 20 occupations with the largest projected growth in the next decade are STEM related, but only 4 of them require an advanced degree." In light of these projections, the committee concluded that "[g]iven these unmet needs for a STEM-capable workforce, the nation's economic future depends on preparing more K–12 students to enter these fields."
In addition to this goal and goal 1, which was discussed last week (Expand the number of students who ultimately pursue advanced degrees and careers in STEM fields and broaden the participation of women and minorities in those fields), the committee identified a third, broader reason for emphasizing STEM education in our system of education.
Goal 3. Increase STEM literacy for all students, including those who do not pursue STEM-related careers or additional study in the STEM disciplines. In its deliberations, the committee reached the judgment that "[p]ersonal and societal decisions in the 21st century increasingly require scientific and technological understanding. Whether about health, the environment, or technology, a certain level of scientific knowledge is vital to informed decision making." Increasing STEM literacy–defined as the "knowledge and understanding of scientific and mathematical concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participation in civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity"—is an important goal for K–12 STEM education. Targeting all students, not just those who will pursue postsecondary education or careers in STEM or STEM-related fields, will better prepare citizens to face the challenges of a science- and technology-driven society."
The Committee's three goals are not mutually exclusive; in fact, properly implemented, they tend to complement each other. And broad goals and intermediate steps facilitate attaining those broader ones. "Schools and districts might not consciously adopt and work toward these three broad goals for STEM education. Instead, they may have their own, intermediate goals for success." Among those the committee acknowledges are increased enrollment in STEM courses, measuring success by test scores in STEM subjects, college and career readiness, and matriculation into postsecondary education.
Setting the goals is the easier part of the task, but attempts to reach these goals are works in progress. As the committee recognizes, "[s]cientific research provides little evidence about how to accomplish the three broad goals." In addition, the committee notes, "[r]esearch is even limited with respect to the intermediate goals, including goals related to accountability, when success is often measured at the school or district level."

Some forecast that apocalyptic horsemen old and new could cause widespread death as the environment unravels.optimistic majority, they suggest that humanity long ago overshot a truly sustainable world population, implying that apocalyptic horsemen old and new could cause widespread death as the environment unravels. Most writers on environment and population are loathe to touch such predictions. But we should be asking, at least, whether such possibilities are real enough to temper the usual demographic confidence about future population projections.
Population growth itself undermines the basis for its own continuation.1900, countries home to nearly half the world's people have moved into conditions of chronic water stress or scarcity based on falling per-capita supply of renewable fresh water. Levels of aquifers and even many lakes around the world are falling as a result. In a mere 14 years, based on median population projections, most of North Africa and the Middle East, plus Pakistan, South Africa and large parts of China and India, will be driven by water scarcity to increasing dependence on food imports "even at high levels of irrigation efficiency," according to the International Water Management Institute.
As population growth sends human beings into once-isolated ecosystems, new disease vectors thrive.succumbing to the tiny varroa mite, while vast numbers of bird species face threats ranging from habitat loss to housecats. Bats and countless other pest-eaters are falling prey to environmental insults scientists don't yet fully understand. And the loss of plant and animal biodiversity generally makes humanity ever-more dependent on a handful of key crop species and chemical inputs that make food production less, rather than more, resilient. One needn't argue that the rising grain prices, food riots, and famine parts of the world have experienced in the past few years are purely an outcome of population growth to worry that at some point further growth will be limited by constrained food supplies.
Agronomists have lost some of their confidence that food production will keep pace with rising populations.ecosystem disruption, or energy and resource scarcity on the two main determinants of demographic change: births and deaths. Migration related to climate change is a more common subject for research, with projections ranging from 50 million to 1 billion people displaced by environmental factors — including climate change — by 2050. The mainstream projections cluster around 200 million, but no one argues that there is a compelling scientific argument for any of these numbers.

Utah State University Alumni Association
Alumni Spotlight - Bryan Bostick
by Liz Wilson
Summer is here and you may be looking for things to keep your little Aggies entertained this season. If you're looking for books to add to your summer reading list why not add a book written by a fellow Aggie? Huber Hill and the Brotherhood of Coronado.
Alumnus Bryan Bostick is a children's author whose book series may just be the thing to keep your kids entertained this summer. Bryan graduated from the University of Utah with his bachelors and went on to earn a master's degree in Psychology from Utah State in 2007. During High School, it was his experience at a USU extension campus that led him to earn a degree from USU. "I went to Union High School in Roosevelt, Utah. Next door to the school was the USU extension. It was there, through concurrent enrollment, I became familiar with many outstanding mentors and faculty members. It was because of this positive experience that I returned to Utah State to complete my master's degree." Bryan completed his degree by attending the USU branch in Kaysville This allowed him to take classes without relocating and made it possible for him to continue working full time.
"My overall experience at USU was challenging, invigorating, and quite frankly fun! In addition to learning and growing academically, I made some great friends and life-long associations." One those associates was Dr. Caroline Barcus.
"The first night I met Dr. Caroline Barcus for my group counseling class I was terrified and thought there was no way I would survive the term! Over the ensuing weeks, I realized my initial thoughts were unfounded. Dr. Barcus stands out as one of the most memorable teachers I've had. She had a way of digging down deep and eliciting genuine responses from her students. In other words, you couldn't hide. She caused me to truly think about myself in a new light and face some of my own biases I didn't even know were there. I had to miss "The Office" on Thursday nights to attend her class, but it was well worth it."
Bryan says that earning his degree helped him learn the patience, work ethic and writing skills that are essential to him as an author.
A volunteer opportunity with the Boys and Girls Club of America is what inspired Bryan to work with children. "It didn't' take me long to realize I loved working with and teaching youth. I worked as an elementary school teacher for a few years and seeing many of the tough issues kids deal with, I decided to work with kids on a more individualized basis through school counseling. USU provided the perfect program, at the perfect place, at the perfect time."
You may be wondering how a Psychology student becomes a successful children's author. Writing was something Bryan always had a passion for, and working as a child psychologist was a great way to work with kids on another level. While working as a teacher and later a school counselor, Brian continued to write on the side. "Our day jobs provide us with the means to pursue our dreams and are a gold mine of potential writing material," Bryan explained. What advice would he give to aspiring writers? "The publishing industry is a tough nut to crack. It takes most writers many years to get their foot in the door. My main advice is to continue to hone your skills, improve yourself through education, and allow others to see your writing. With enough time, patience, and work, you'll catch a break. Don't give up!"
In addition to being a writer, Bryan is also a husband and father of two. His favorite flavor of ice cream is Aggie Bull Tracks.
Bryan's latest book, Huber Hill and the Brotherhood of Coronado was released in the fall of 2012. In conjunction with the book launch, a portion of proceeds went to North Davis Prep Academy, the school where Bryan worked as a teacher and counselor. He is currently working on the third and final book of the Huber Hill series. To learn more about his books visit his website http://www.huberhill.com

State continues efforts to restore muskie population
HIGHGATE The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife is continuing efforts to restore muskellunge to the northern reaches of Lake Champlain and nearby tributaries, the last location in the state that supported a naturally reproducing native population of the species known as a top predator among fish.
The department recently stocked 7,580 of the fish, known as muskies, in the area, including in the Missisquoi River above the Swanton Dam to the Highgate Falls Dam.
The native muskie population disappeared in the late 1970s following a chemical spill.
Since 2008 Vermont has stocked 30,000 muskies in the area. Lake Champlain is the only lake in New England that once held native populations of muskies.
Muskies are the top predator in aquatic ecosystems and can create some real excitement for anglers, said Vermont Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Patrick Berry.
The six-inch fish stocked in the river were donated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which also stocks muskies in New Yorks Great Chazy River.
In recent years Vermont has done genetic testing on muskies caught in the Missisquoi Bay and river to determine if they were native or if they were stocked muskies or their descendants. The tests determined they were muskie stocked in the Great Chazy River that had found their way to the Missisquoi Bay area.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Gov.

Montpelier hires new assistant manager
MONTPELIER The city has chosen Jessie C. Baker to fill the vacant assistant city manager position.
She will replace longtime Assistant City Manager Beverlee Pembroke Hill, who retired in June and assumed a part-time position as tax collector. Baker will begin her duties April 1, said City Manager William Fraser on Friday.
Baker has served as the performance improvement manager for the state Health Department for the past two years. She previously worked for Somerville, Mass., for five years in a variety of roles that mirror the responsibilities of the assistant city manager position, Fraser said in a news release.
Baker, 35, holds a bachelors degree in anthropology and psychology from Columbia University and a masters in social policy and planning from Tufts University. She is a graduate of Harwood Union High School and a native of Waterbury Center. She lives in Burlington and plans to move to Montpelier, according to the news release.
Jessie brings a fresh perspective and considerable professional expertise to the city. Her contributions in Somerville helped draw national attention for the citys data-driven management and decision-making approach, Fraser said in the news release. Her background in performance measures, project management and human resources fills some big voids in our organization.
In Somerville, Mass., she held jobs as personnel director, aide to the mayor and senior analyst, responsible for assisting the mayor in the supervision of city departments through regular monitoring of departmental data and implementation of short- and long-term improvement plans.
Previously Baker spent six years working on policy and data-based performance measurement in the area of childrens and family services.
She was selected from 243 applicants from 41 states and two countries, according to the city.
The selection process included an advisory committee consisting of former City Council members, community representatives, department heads and city staff.
Her starting salary will be $69,000 a year.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

Playing politicsJune 22,2013
Someone in Washington, D.C., left the barn door open and the U.S. House of Representatives just wandered out. In their haste, they rejected the U.S. Farm Bill.
The vote, 234-195, spells trouble for the states dairy industry.
Even after the House Agriculture Committee had reached a compromise that some Democrats were willing to support, it only took a few extreme amendments to serve as the tipping point for the bill that is crucial for local farmers because most notably it would have offered certain stability in milk prices, insurance premiums and feed prices.
In fact, one of the amendments all but did away with dairy price stabilization programs that served as a key piece of the contentious bill.
Another amendment would have added a punitive work requirement to food stamp eligibility rules on recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as food stamps. Democrats like our own Rep. Peter Welch pointed out that that amendment was providing for nonexistent work programs, and were simply introduced to derail the process. Meanwhile, a separate amendment would have allowed for drug testing of food stamp recipients.
Welch and others got shouted down in the political barnyard.
Some political watchers say the farm bill may well be the first sign of things to come.
Regrettably, local farmers facing a wetter-than-average spring now have another thing to worry about. But the effects could be felt in every community, from Newport to Brattleboro. In Vermont, there are more than 101,000 people who receive SNAP assistance a third of them are children. In fact, 61 percent of Vermont families getting SNAP benefits have children.
There were some Democrats on Capitol Hill willing to support the farm bill despite the draconian cuts to SNAP and other nutrition programs in the hope that when the bill moved to conference committee where differences between the House and Senate versions would be resolved SNAP funding would be restored, at least in part.
The bill already contained $40 billion in cuts, more than half of them from SNAP.
But the political game of chicken put the bill into the ditch.
On Friday, it remained unclear whether the farm bill could be resurrected again. The Houses vote Thursday was called a stunning defeat for Speaker John Boehner, who supported the legislation and brought it to the House floor for a vote, according to The New York Times. Boehner was unable to win support from 62 Republicans on the partys conservative fringe, who cast no votes because they believed the $20.5 billion cut in the food stamps program did not go deep enough. Nearly all Democrats also voted no because that draconian cut would have eliminated food assistance for nearly 2 million people. Now it appears some Democrats, who might have voted for the House bill, were repelled by the last-minute Republican amendments.
It is unclear exactly what the House bills defeat will mean for Boehner, the Times wrote in its editorial. It could mean trouble for immigration reform, which has bipartisan support in the Senate. One question is whether Boehner and other Republican leaders will try to secure the votes of the most radical party members by producing another version of the farm bill with even more devastating food stamp cuts or, worse, by turning the program into a capped block grant to the states.
The Times concluded that congressional Democrats will need to stand strong against weakening an effective program that helps millions of Americans.
The nations agriculture industry deserves better treatment. Just ask any Vermont farmer how hard it is to get everyone back in the barn once the door is left open.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

what is up with that? he musta been either mad far away or left way to late for the game
The bucks are lookin like the bulls from the early 90's with those red jerseys
Woooo, Al Harrington is back. Hopefully he'll shoot better than rest of the team has so far.
Lees got 6 rebounds already....what are the odds of him finishing with 20 rebounds? Id say 2:1, i wouldnt be suprised at all. Hes done a great job of holdin it down for us since zach got traded. Hes been a one man rebounding team and speakin of one man rebounding teams, Marcus Camby had 27 rebounds a couple nights ago.
Nate playing pretty well....nice block he had on lie.....Harrington on a roll dude can't be stopped...I love Nate and harrington(no homo) they keepers
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Q rich is playing absolutely terrible. every time he touches the ball. get. him out.
the passing was off in the first half, bad turnovers. Hopefully Harrington gets hot in the second half. I wanna see more from Chandler.
We really need Gallo to get healthy soon so we can give him some of Qrich's minutes. Even if Gallo sucks, we at least know he's young and will get better. Qrich is hopeless.
i mean the knicks are just so difficult to watch sometimes. this is just awful. it's as if there playing the celtics or something. coming off the last game this is disappointing

Overscored - All the ladies and mens medalists. I can't think of ONE medalist who wasn't. It was so bad that I actually don't feel that Yuna has been overscored that much. I mean, come on, Joannie scored over 200 for a program that was generally skated well but had two glaring mistakes and no 3-3. Mao had that huge score for a program that she had only four triples (two of them axels, I know, I know. If they were not, we wouldn't be talking about her here, since she'd have been off the podium) and no real musicality, interpretation or transition.
Oh, and of course Patrick Chan. I'm just not going to say anything about him because anything I say will be unnecessarily inflammable.

If you want nasty, read the other posts about Rachael Flatt. Wasn't Joannie portraying a biblical wh something rhyme with Al Gore, "class" is definitely not what she's trying to emote. Why is her interpretation score so high? LOL. I admire her for bringing her "competitivity" (her word) to both programs and I said several time that she deserved her bronze medal. I just don't agree with the massive score she got for that type of performance. Same with Laura Lepisto. Miki got 126 at last year Worlds for a much more engaging performance.
You don't think the judges were gifting Mirai? Where did the flutzes call go? Flutzes aren't like UR, they don't disappear from one competition to the next. Her flip was rotating on ice, too. If they were that harsh on Rachael, they should ding Mirai as well. I guess it's a bonus for training with the Olympics GOLD medalist.
I agree that some of the posts about Rachael were nasty too and I didn't hesitate to call those people out to (if you recall, one poster accused me of being part of the Flatt Police for doing so.) I'm an equal opportunity "don't be nasty" poster. I would do the same for Yuna Kim or Mao Asada.

I wonder if you remember that since this season 09-10 it has been easier to get +GOE according to ISU Communication 1557. That is also one reason why scores are higher than before and why they are not completely comparable to earlier seasons. Before you could hardly ever see +3 GOE, now it's possible with many skaters with some gorgeus element, eg. Mirai's layback spin in FS.
underscored: Johnny Weir and Akiko Suzuki.
I absolutely loved Akiko's performance, both times, and I admire her so much for making such a comeback. I do not get her PCS at all.
15 year old Peggy Fleming finished 6h and then went on to win the OGM in '68.
If this helps your perspective here is a list of US Olympic medal winning Ladies going back to 1956.
1956 - Tenley Albright wins Gold and Carol Heiss wins Silver.
1960 - Carol Heiss wins Gold
1964 - Peggy Fleming finishes 6th
1968 - Peggy wins Gold
1972 - Janet Lynn wins Bronze
1976 - Dorothy Hamill wins Gold
1980 - Linda Fratiane robbed of Gold but wins Silver
1984 - Roz Sumners wins Silver
1988 - Debbi Thomas wins Bronze
1992 - Kristi wins Gold, Nancy wins Bronze
1994 - Nancy wins Silver but was the better skater that night
1998 - Tara wins Gold, Michelle Silver
2002 - Sarah wins Gold, Michelle Bronze
2006 - Sasha wins Silver
2010 - Rachale Flatt finishes 7th
Does that give you a better understanding that a 7th place finish at the Olympics is disappointing for a US Lady champion? We have t go back, way back for such a poor showing from our champion.
Perhaps a new era is upon us with a shift to Asia. But I wouldn't count out the US Ladies just yet. Not with Mirai ready to blossom and Christina improving by leaps and bounds under Orser's training.
* The last time that a U.S. champion finished worse than Rachael was actually in 1994, when Tonya Harding finished 8th (but Nancy finished with the silver, as we all know.) But since Tonya was stripped of her title, the last time there was a worse showing was in 1948 when Gretchen Merill also finished 8th.
* Since 1920 when women's figure skating was in the Olympics in some form only five U.S. figures skating ladies champions did not make the podium. (Teresa Weld Blanchard, 1924, 4th; Maribel Vinson, 1928, 4th; Gretchen Merrill, 1948, 8th; Tonya Harding, 1994 8th*; and Rachael Flatt, 2010, 7th) -- as mentioned Harding shouldn't really count because of the circumstances, but I'm just just going to put it out there.
That was quite educational....

Hooray, Penga is home! We took her home on Tuesday (Dec. 11.) We are extremely happy
We are going through a tough time nursing, though. She started to refuse nursing again. She screams and pulls away from my breast if I try to put her on it in the beginning of the feeding session. Now we give her bottle with 15-20ml of EBM first then breastfeed her. Often she gets tired easily and drifts off to sleep after nursing only one side. I then pump and save what I got for the next feeding.
I kangrooed her for a long time today, and she tries to come down to my breast, and licked and suckled, then sucked for a considerable time (while it took a long time for let-down to happen).
Penga also needs to be held ALL the time. So my husband and I take turns to hold her.
Otherwise, she is doing well. We had our first nurse visit yesterday and found out Penga has gained 4oz in 2 1/2 days since discharge
I feel lost, though. I thought we would be able to breastfeed exclusively once she gets home. I hope the nursing strike is temporary. Is there any mom who experienced it at the time of hospital discharge, and how did you come out of it?????? Help!

Home List of Titles Parameter estimation in semi-linear models using a maximal invariant likelihood function

- Title
- Parameter estimation in semi-linear models using a maximal invariant likelihood function
- Author(s)
- Bhowmik, Jahar L.; King, Maxwell L.
- Abstract
- In this paper, we consider the problem of estimation of semi-linear regression models. Using invariance arguments, Bhowmik and King [2007. Maximal invariant likelihood based testing of semi-linear models. Statist. Papers 48, 357-383] derived the probability density function of the maximal invariant statistic for the non-linear component of these models. Using this density function as a likelihood function allows us to estimate these models in a two-step process. First the non-linear component parameters are estimated by maximising the maximal invariant likelihood function. Then the non-linear component, with the parameter values replaced by estimates, is treated as a regressor and ordinary least squares is used to estimate the remaining parameters. We report the results of a simulation study conducted to compare the accuracy of this approach with full maximum likelihood and maximum profile-marginal likelihood estimation. We find maximising the maximal invariant likelihood function typically results in less biased and lower variance estimates than those from full maximum likelihood.

Wisconsin police departments and sheriff's offices around the state are asking you to make a conscious effort to look inside your medicine cabinet on Saturday for any unneeded prescription medication. Law enforcement officers will be participating in the fifth annual national Prescription Take Back Day that gives people a chance to safely and anonymously drop off extra pills.
"Literally, there's a huge need out there for these programs to continue," said Reedsburg Police Chief Tim Becker, whose community brings up to 150 pounds of medication every two weeks to its secure drop-box inside the police station. "I know there are people who will question whether it makes a difference, but I'm here to tell you, practically speaking, hundreds of pounds of medication are turned in to us anualy and disposed of properly, so I think it's certainly worth the time and effort."
In Dane County, there are 12 MedDrop boxes accepting unused prescription medication located throughout the community. UW-Madison's Police Department officially opened its MedDrop box this week, the first in downtown Madison.
"This is a public safety issue," UW-Madison Police Chief Susan Riseling said in a statement released by the department. "Too often, these medications get into the wrong hands. We're excited to have this valuable tool on campus for our community, citizens of Madison, and citizens of Dane County."
The Take Back Day comes at the same time that Wisconsin's doctors and pharmacists are collecting information on the dispensing of controlled medicines and ingesting it into a statewide database. Starting on June 1, the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, will allow health care professionals access to what patients have been prescribed throughout the state.

Made this and really liked it. Based on tips from others on here I put lots of cumin and turmeric on the chicken pieces before they went in the pan. I added: stock (half a lambs cube), sambal (no harissa in the house) and garlic. I only used a v small amount of honey (quarter of a teaspoon) and next time I would add a little bit more stock.
I tried it the original way without any deviation (aside from turmeric and not saffron) and as the commenters said below it was a bit too bland. Adding the lemon was very necessary. I tried it again tonight adding chicken stock and a healthy squeeze of harissa and a tsp of soy sauce. That did the trick! It was a bit too spicy for my family, but that was my doing with the heavy squeeze of harissa. You may want to start with 1 tsp of harissa and then add to taste. As I like spicy food that was not a problem. Also, the soy sauce gives it a bit more depth. I also used an actual terra cotta tajine and the chicken was so tender it broke apart with my wooden stirring spoon! Best wishes.
I made this for supper tonight. After reading a few comments I added chicken stock instead of water to give it a good flavour.also plenty of black pepper and a little salt. I also added the saffron, which was lovely and used less honey than stated. I did not have any parsley so I chopped some fresh coriander and threw that in, along with a squeeze of lime. Overall lovely flavour. I popped mine in the oven. Very easy to make and tasty. Would make again sooo easy. Yum yum!
Did this for the first time last week, then again when mum and dad came over for Mothering Sunday, it went down really well both times.
Quick and easy to prepare, the chicken is really tender. I think when I do it again, I'll use a bit more turmeric, ' a pinch' is a bit of a vague quantity!
I can see this being a firm favourite, not only for taste but also ease of preparation.
At first I was disappointed with the recipe considering it was under the 80 best ever recipes.... Then I added coriander instead of parsley (as that was what I had). I squeezed in some lemon juice as someone had suggested and all of a sudden it lifted all the flavours!!! I did add a pinch of both turmeric and saffron and also made alongside it a quorn version for my veggie daughter. I served it with brown basmatic mixed with a little wild rice.
