Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read my post! I'm going to give a very brief background and need some honest advice. I
have a 5mo baby girl who was breastfed for 5 weeks - on the breast but mainly pumped.
I had a HORRIBLE c-section which I now know was totally unnecessary, (induced at 41 wks, given 6 hours to labor on pitocin, was only "3" and there was meconium so they "had" to section us! GRRRR!)
Needless to say, BF had a bumpy start I was in horrible pain the entire time! Baby had thrush for 4 weeks, didn't even know what that was, engorged daily, fevers daily, cracked sore bleeding nipples, even while pumping! Latch wasn't good went to two LC paid lots of $$$ and no fix! They both called her a "barracuda". Anyways, I stopped due to pressure from family members, severe pain, I couldn't see the "light" you know.
I DEEPLY regret the decision I have made daily and cannot get over the fact that BF didn't work out for us. This was the ONLY way I planned to nourish my baby and I failed! She's currently doing great on formula - zero issues but I want to try it again. Am I nuts? Is the jig up? Will I mess her up by imposing this on her? Everyone thinks I am out of my mind but I can't help the way I feel. She refuses my breast! What should I do? I am still able to squeeze a few drops daily despite the fact and I am on bc, drink loads of coffee, barely drink water, and dieting. HELP!

text: URMC / Encyclopedia / Content Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is a type of cancer. It starts in blood cells called T-lymphocytes. These are white blood cells that are part of your immune system. They normally fight infection in the body. The cancer then affects the skin (cutaneous). It causes scaly patches or bumps called lesions or tumors. The cancer is also known as lymphoma of the skin. It is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is usually a slow-growing cancer. It develops over many years. The two most common types of this cancer are mycosis fungoides and the Sezary syndrome. Symptoms and stages of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma The symptoms of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma depend on how far the cancer has spread (stage). The symptoms of can look like other skin conditions. Make sure to see your doctor for a diagnosis. The following are the most common signs and symptoms of mycosis fungoides and the Sezary syndrome: Stage Signs and symptoms Stage I Dry, red, scaly patches, plaques (thick lesions), or bumps on skin cover less than 80 percent of the skin surface No lesions larger than 1 centimeter (cm) wide, known as tumors Lymph nodes are normal Stage II Dry, red, scaly patches, plaques, or bumps on skin cover up to 80 percent of the skin surface No lesions larger than 1 cm wide (tumors) Lymph nodes are enlarged, but do not contain cancer cells. Or At least one tumor on skin is 1 cm or more wide Lymph nodes are normal or larger than normal, but do not contain cancer cells. Stage III Most of the skin (at least 80 percent) is dry, red, scaly, or bumpy, and may have tumors Lymph nodes are normal or larger than normal, but do not contain cancer cells There may be a small number of lymphoma cells in the blood Stage IV Skin is dry, red, scaly, or bumpy, and may have tumors on any amount of the skin surface There are many lymphoma cells in the blood Or Cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and/or to other organs, such as the liver or spleen Diagnosing cutaneous T-cell lymphoma Your health care provider will ask about your medical history and give you a physical exam. You may also have a biopsy of a skin tumor or lymph node. This is a small sample of tissue that is taken with a needle or minor surgery. The tissue is then checked in a lab for cancer cells. A biopsy will confirm the diagnosis. You may also have samples of lymph nodes, bone marrow, and blood take to look for lymphoma cells. This helps to learn the stage of the disease. Treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma Treatment may include: Chemotherapy. This is treatment with medicines to kill cancer cells. Medicines may be put on the skin as a cream or gel. Or they may be injected into a vein. Other types of medicine. These may include retinoids, corticosteroids, targeted medicine, or immune therapy. Some of these are applied to the skin. Others are taken by mouth or given as an injection. Radiation therapy. This treatment uses X-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Photodynamic therapy. This uses a certain type of light and a chemical to kill cancer cells. Extracorporeal photopheresis. This therapy is used to kill lymphoma cells in the blood. The blood is sent through a machine that exposes it to a special ultraviolet (UV) light. The light kills the lymphoma cells. The blood is then returned to the body. Clinical trials for new treatments Researchers are always finding new ways to treat cancer. These new methods are tested in clinical trials. Talk with your doctor to find out if there are any clinical trials you should consider. Medical Reviewers: Alteri, Rick MD Cunningham, Louise, RN

Wardrobe Makeover1 of 12
By Zoe Schaeffer
Refreshing your closet can be a daunting task—especially when you don't have a plan. We rounded up advice from top organization gurus to help you change out your summer dresses for those fall sweaters, and create a functional space that won't overwhelm you.
Private Retreat2 of 12
Your closet—like the rest of your house—should be a space that you enjoy. "Invest in solid storage units, racks and pretty details to make your closet a special oasis for not only your clothes but for yourself. It will make a huge difference," says Joy Mangano, a home goods designer for HSN.
Mind Over Matter3 of 12
Oftentimes, closets end up filled with sentimental items. The belongings come with thoughts, emotions and, therefore, energy, says feng shui consultant Ariel Towne. "The first step in a feng shui transformation is to make some space," he says. He recommends setting aside time to assess all your things. De-cluttering your closet will help de-clutter your mind.
Divide & Conquer4 of 12
Towne says that the general principle in feng shui is that a room should be 50 percent "stuff" and 50 percent "space." If you have more stuff than space, then it's time to purge what's unnecessary and to make room for new things in your life.
Life Questions5 of 12
Jill Laine, a style coach, says there are certain questions you should ask yourself when attacking your cleaning. For example, "Who are you most?" she asks. "A professional, a mother or a social butterfly? Let your lifestyle dictate which clothes get prime real estate in your closet."
Weigh Cool6 of 12
Organize clothes by weight, not color, and store them accordingly, says Jennifer Gering, an NYC-based costume designer. "This is a better way to transition into a new season and also leads you to make unexpected choices."
Altered State7 of 12
Gering suggests going through everyday pieces like blazers, skirts and jeans. Does your favorite blazer need a new button? Would that skirt be more current if it was two inches shorter? Create a pile of things needing alterations. "This is an easy and cheap way to add life and longevity to your wardrobe," she says.
Fabric Finds8 of 12
Before you stash spring and summer items, make sure everything is clean, because food stains are also food for moths and other bugs. Store pieces you know you won't be wearing during the cooler months. "A breathable fabric box or bag made of natural fabrics like muslin is the best storage system," says Sam Saboura, style expert from YouBeauty.com. "This will allow air to flow through your garments and prevent mold and mildew."
Ditch The Dry Cleaning9 of 12
Saboura says you should never store or hang your clothes in plastic dry cleaning bags, as they attract moisture that can damage your clothing. "If you have the space, store your summer goods in another closet or under the bed," she says. "Cool, dark places are always best."
Boxed In10 of 12
Think outside the box when it comes to storage. "Skip the store-bought containers and keep your eye out for unique storage pieces," says Mat Sanders, marketplace editor at ApartmentTherapy.com. "A few vintage wire baskets filled with socks and scarves will give your closet a charming, one-of-a-kind appeal."
Walls Up11 of 12
Add a splashy accent color or wallpaper, either to the shelves or to your closet's interior wall. Sanders says that temporary peel and stick coverings are great for those who like to switch it up and keep things fresh from season to season.
Clear Day12 of 12
Tanika Ray, host of HGTV'd, insists that clear stackable drawers are amazing for storing socks, scarves, sarongs and other accessories in a neat and beautiful way. "They are akin to lucite chairs in a gorgeously decorated room. They add dimension and purpose to a space without adding bulk," she says.

I'm really stoked because, 20-some-odd years ago, my Dad decided there wasn't enough O'Brien Juice floating around America, so he and Momma O'Brien got together and made me. Unfortunately, not everyone is as awesome as my Dad when it comes to keeping the bloodline going, and those who do decide to reproduce aren't always the ones you'd prefer. In movies like Idiocracy (and life, I guess), you always hear about idiots throughout history who keep making more and more idiot children. Monsters who just want to raise more little monsters, until they have a monster majority -- while brilliant, thoughtful people are usually so preoccupied with how thoughtful they are that they forget to procreate.
Pointing out the people who shouldn't have had kids (Hitler's Dad, his Mom and so forth), is easy and boring. So, in honor of Father's Day, I've rounded up a bunch of awesome and badass historical figures who absolutely should have filled this planet with their offspring.
Happy Father's Day!
George Washington
There's a lot to admire about our first and, some would argue, best president, George Washington. The only official United States president to be able to claim that he was way into presidenting back "before it was cool," Washington is widely known as the "Father of our Country," but not, regrettably, the "Father of Anything Else."
Washington remains the only president to receive 100 percent of the electoral votes. He was a farmer who became a soldier when his country needed him and, after he made the British look like a bunch of assholes in the Revolutionary War, he returned to his farm instead of taking advantage the massive political power inherent to commanding the winning army. He only accepted the presidency when it was made clear that his country needed him, and he made sure he stayed humble and condemned anything resembling "royal treatment," because he knew he was setting a president precedent, and he wanted all future presidents to stay grounded and be men of the people. He showed insane levels of badass bravery on the battlefield and a measured thoughtfulness as president, making himself the model that every subsequent president would strive to live up to (they all failed).
"Good luck following THIS, everyone else!"
Congressman Henry Lee celebrated Washington at his funeral saying, "First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen, he was second to none in humble and enduring scenes of private life. Pious, just, humane, temperate and sincere; uniform, dignified and commanding; his example was as edifying to all around him as were the effects of that example lasting ..." If there is anyone in history who would have a right to examine his surroundings and claim, "You know, this world would be better if there were a bunch of Little Me's running around it," it would be George Washington.
"America's OK, I guess. Just seems like it could use some more Washington."
Unfortunately, "Ole' Town-Destroyer" was so busy basting America's fertile grounds with his strong-jawed president-juice that he never got around to shooting any into his wife in any kind of meaningful way. It's possible that Washington was sterile, or even that his wife Martha simply lacked the structural stability required to support the enormous balls of a baby Washington for nine months, but we'll never really know the truth. All we know is that our noble Soldier President was the last of his bloodline -- there are no more Washington's. It would have been nice to stock the White House with Washington Jr. after Washington Jr. from now until the end of time, but maybe it's better this way. Not every sequel lives up to the original.
Nikola Tesla
I've written about my love of Nikola Tesla, "the father of radio, television, power transmission, the induction motor and the robot," before and Cracked has covered him elsewhere as well. For those who haven't read everything that's ever been published on this site (why?), suffice it to say that Tesla was a brilliant and passionate inventor who was screwed out of money, fame and respect by well-known supervillain Thomas Edison. Tesla was fluent in eight languages, a progressive supporter of gender equality and, according to a friend, "also a poet, a philosopher, an appreciator of fine music, a linguist and a connoisseur of food and drink." All in all, a fairly well-rounded guy (who also might have been crazy).
"And for my next science experiment: Teeessssllllaaaa!"
He died alone, in debt and, thanks to Edison, without any of the credit that he deserved. He was survived by no sons or daughters, apparently because he must not have thought he was worthy of any. Tesla sincerely (and controversially) believed that only the strongest and brightest should breed, that we should embrace eugenics and weed the "unfit" out of society, saying, "Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny." Tesla, unfortunately, simply didn't consider himself to be a desirable parent. His image of himself was so low, that he used himself as an example as someone who should not be contributing to a future race of supermen. Which sucked. Maybe if he'd had a kid, he'd realize he wasn't so shitty. Or, he could hand his knowledge down to his offspring, and that kid would fight to make sure the Tesla name received the respect and money that it deserved. Or, hell, even if the kid didn't end up in science, he would at the very least grow up to beat the crap out of Edison's shitty kids.
"My name is LightningBolt Tesla. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Also? At the time of his death, he was working on a fucking death ray. If he had passed on his brilliant mind to a son or daughter, and they used it to complete his work and research, can you imagine what would happen?
Loads of death, probably, sure, yeah, but HOLY-SHIT-A-DEATH-RAY!

Prepare a Safe and Healthy Thanksgiving Meal
The Turkey
- Preheat oven to 325 ° or higher.
- Wash hands and clean your work area. Use two separate cutting boards during preparation, one for raw meat and one for vegetables.
- Place turkey or turkey breast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
- Insert an oven safe thermometer in the innermost part of the thigh before placing in the oven. If your turkey has a "pop-up" temperature indicator, it is recommended to also check the internal temperature of the turkey in the thigh, wing and the thickest part of the breast. The minimum internal temperature should reach 165 °F as measured with a food thermometer. For quality, let the turkey stand for 20 minutes before carving to allow juices to set. The turkey will carve more easily.
- For optimum safety, stuffing a turkey is not recommended. For more even cooking, it is recommended to cook stuffing outside the bird in a casserole. Use a food thermometer to ensure that the stuffing has reached a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F.
- Divide leftovers into smaller portions and refrigerate within 2 hours. Use refrigerated leftovers within 3 to 4 days or freeze for 3 to 4 months.
Let's Talk Turkey
USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service
Meat and Poultry Hotline
Grandma's Stuffing
10 cups whole wheat bread cubes or white bread or buns, dry
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon parsley, dried or 1 Tbsp fresh parsley chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups milk
1 lightly beaten egg
2 medium pared, cored and chopped apples or 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
- Wash hands and clean your work area. Use two separate cutting boards during preparation, one for eggs (or raw meat) and the other for fruits and vegetables.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Put cubes in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Put water in medium saucepan. Add onion, celery, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes. Do not drain. Pour over bread cubes.
- Stir in milk and egg. Gently stir in apples, and raisins, if desired.
- Spoon into a greased 2-quart baking dish. Bake at 350 °F for 1 hour or until the internal temperature of the stuffing is 165° F, as measured with a food thermometer.

What is in this article?:
- China currency bill advances, FTA votes expected
- Uncertain future in House
- A final vote in the Senate on legislation targeting China's intervention in currency exchange markets is now scheduled for Oct. 11.
- The House and the Senate are both scheduled to hold votes on the Colombia, South Korea and Panama FTAs on Oct. 12, one day before South Korean President Lee's state visit on Oct. 13.
More About:
China currency legislation has advanced in the Senate and Free Trade Agreements (FTA) are scheduled for votes in the House and Senate this week.
A final vote in the Senate on legislation targeting China's intervention in currency exchange markets is now scheduled for Oct. 11.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) pressed to wrap up the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act of 2011 (S.1619) before the Senate takes up the President's jobs bill and three pending FTAs with Panama, South Korea and Colombia.
The Senate voted 62-38 to invoke cloture and cut off debate on the China currency legislation but further progress on the currency legislation, which if enacted would deem undervalued currencies actionable subsidies, was delayed by disagreements over amendments.
A number of Republicans supported the legislation, which would impose sanctions on China for manipulating its currency in order to increase exports.
Support from Southern Republican Senators whose states have lost manufacturing jobs in recent years appeared to deliver the key votes on the cloture motion. Sens. Graham (R-S.C.), Sessions (R-Ala.), Burr (R-N.C.), who are co-sponsors of S. 1619, were joined by Sens. Chambliss (R-Ga.), Cochran (R-Miss.), Isakson (R-Ga.) and Shelby (R-Ala.), in voting for cloture. Other Republicans voting for the motion to invoke cloture were Sens. Snowe (R-Maine), Collins (R-Maine), Brown (R-Mass.), Hoeven (R-N.D.) and Portman (R-Ohio).

Boxing Match or Baseball Game?
The Astros were looking for their first win of the year today against the Phillies. In the 3rd inning, it looked as though they may just get that win. Jamie Moyer made it to 2 outs in the 3rd before all hell broke loose. He took a 4-0 lead and turned it into a 4-5 deficit in the blink of an eye.
For a few minutes, many wondered if they were watching a baseball game or a boxing match, as Moyer took blow upon blow from the Astros bats. With 2 outs in the inning, the right and left hooks began, starting first with the Astros pitcher who whacked a double to get the rally started. Here is the remainder of the beating, which even included a single from former teammate, Pedro Feliz: 2-run homer, a walk on 4 pitches, 2-run homer (yes, again), 4 singles in a row to score the 5th run of the inning. It was a total knockout.
Or, maybe not…the Phillies rallied back in the 7th inning and took the lead again on a Ryan Howard 2-run homer. Howard also tripled and walked with the bases loaded for an RBI earlier in the game. Shane Victorino, who has been very unlucky of late, finally got in on the action with an RBI single in the 7th. In the 9th, Victorino hit a 2-run homer to give the Phillies a 9-5 lead. And then he breathed a sigh of relief…whew!
As for the bullpen, Chad Durbin mowed down the Astros in the 7th inning. Danys Baez followed suit in the 8th and then Ryan Madson came in for the 9th with 4 runs to play with. He gave back one run but still escaped with a 9-6 win.
So the question now remains, how effective will Moyer be in future starts? The one big inning nearly killed him, but the Phils bats bailed him out. But no team can be expected to score 9 runs every game. Well, it was only his first start, so we will have to wait and see how his next start goes.
Also of note, the Phillies kept their streak of at least 10 hits in a game going tonight. Yes, all 5 games played so far have featured at least 10 hits and a minimum of 5 runs scored. They are averaging over 8 runs a game…scary. Can they keep up this pace? We hope so :O)
The Phillies will finish the series with the Astros Sunday at 2:05pm. It will be a battle of the Roy's; Halladay vs. Oswalt. The Astros are still looking for their first win, so do not expect them to just lie down and give up. It should be a good game….Go Phillies!

Sorry to hear Moyer had a bad game. Dodgers also had a very frustrating loss when they let it get away.
Hey, what do you use on those pictures? photoshop? Not that I have that. After that loss last night by the Blue, I've been thinking of doing something like that.
Hi Emma…yup, it is photoshop. I am a computer geek…lol You can get Photoshop Elements for pretty cheap…it works too. Have fun!
A Ryan Howard triple? U sure? Prove it! That's like a BigFoot or Chuppa-Cabra sighting.
Mike – I know, it is shocking to see someone that large pulling up at third. It was actually the 12th triple of his career. Guess it is all those Subway sandwiches he's been eating…lol

Recently I was tempted to have a look on OpenCV project and Oreilly's book "Learning OpenCV" This is a great book and it assumes some basic C programming skills. However, it is not specific to any platform when it comes to compiling and running program examples. Here is a very short start with Ubuntu 9.04
Let's start with installation of some useful packages into our ubuntu system:
apt-get install libcv1 libcvaux1 libhighgui1 libcv-dev libcvaux-dev libhighgui-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libavutil49 pkg-config g++
Once this is done we can start by compiling a first example in the book ( make sure that you have all quotes corect otherwise you will get errors like:
opencv.c:1:10: error: #include expects "FILENAME" or
actual example code:
#include "highgui.h"
int main(int argc, char** argv)
IplImage* img = cvLoadImage( argv[1] );
cvNamedWindow( "Example1", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
cvShowImage( "Example1", img );
cvReleaseImage( &img );
cvDestroyWindow( "Example1" );
now it's time to save this code into file. For example let us save it into myopencv.c file.
to compile this code we can use command:
g++ -ggdb -I/usr/include/opencv -lhighgui myopnecv.c.c -o opencv_example
another way to compile is to use pkg-config
g++ -ggdb `pkg-config opencv --cflags --libs` myopnecv.c.c -o opencv_example
which is exactly the same as
g++ -ggdb -I/usr/include/opencv -lcxcore -lcv -lhighgui -lcvaux -lml myopnecv.c.c -o opencv_example
the library must be included for compilation otherwise this errors would occur:
myopnecv.c:In function `main':
myopnecv.c:(.text+0x25): undefined reference to `cvLoadImage'
myopnecv.c:(.text+0x3c): undefined reference to `cvNamedWindow'
myopnecv.c:(.text+0x4f): undefined reference to `cvShowImage'
myopnecv.c:(.text+0x5b): undefined reference to `cvWaitKey'
myopnecv.c:(.text+0x66): undefined reference to `cvReleaseImage'
myopnecv.c:(.text+0x72): undefined reference to `cvDestroyWindow'
error: too few arguments to function 'cvLoadImage'
if your compilation was successful a opencv_example binary should appear in your directory. when running this binary supply an argument ( some picture ):
./opencv_example mypicture.jpg
the image should pop up on your screen.

Taste of Chicago
Petrillo Music Shell
July 11-15 Headliners
The Taste of Chicago has lost money in its most recent years with the entire Taste being free. As of this year the Taste will be charging for the headliners on the Petrillo Music Shell. The announcement of the 2012 Petrillo Music Shell headliners notes the $25 extra Taste of Chicago patrons will have to ante up to see the Petrillo acts. It really isn't all that bad considering who the headliners are this year. For the $25 additional fee for each artist, Tasters get to see Jennifer Hudson, Death Cab for Cutie, Chaka Khan, and country artist Dierks Bentley. Note- As Mary May from the Department of Cultural Affairs has so kindly stated that the $25 charge is for the seating only. The lawn seats are still free to patrons of the Taste.

"Trust that Iraq will be the graveyard for terrorism and terrorists for the good of all humanity," said Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in an address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday that went reasonably well despite some grumbling in advance. "Iraq is the front line in this struggle, and history will prove that the sacrifices of Iraqis for freedom will not be in vain," he declared.
Those are noble sentiments indeed, and we can all hope they are validated in the long run. While speaking bravely, however, al-Maliki glossed over some of the serious problems his country faces in the short run.
Six weeks ago, when President Bush paid a surprise visit to Baghdad after the death of terrorist leader Musab al-Zarqawi, things looked brighter. Al-Maliki had finished forming a government in Baghdad and had a plan for subduing violence in the country's capital.
Since then the situation has deteriorated. Curfews and beefed-up Iraqi police activities not only haven't quelled the violence, the violence has gotten worse. According to a United Nations report, 100 Iraqis a day were killed in June, up from 65 to 70 a day for the first four months of the year. And the violence has become more sectarian — Shia Muslims killing Sunnis and vice versa rather than attacks by al-Qaida-linked foreign fighters. Many observers believe the country is on the verge of civil war, or may already have slipped into it.
As James Dobbins, the former diplomat who directs international security studies at the RAND Corp., said, "The situation is grim, and there's no real basis for thinking it will turn around soon."
The decision by President Bush to transfer up to 4,000 U.S. troops (and the same number of Iraqi troops) to Baghdad from other parts of the country is an acknowledgment that Prime Minister al-Maliki's plan is a failure. Whether these troops can get the job done is far from assured, and moving them could open the door to more violence in other parts of the country.
In short, though one can always hold out hope, the concept of Iraq as a model democracy capable of inspiring democratic change in other parts of the Middle East is in tatters.
One potential positive — that al-Maliki runs an independent government rather than being a U.S. puppet — also has its downside. The Iraqi government has denounced Israel as the aggressor in the current conflict with Hezbollah and refuses to characterize Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. The Iraqi government wants the ability to try U.S. soldiers accused of crimes against Iraqi citizens in Iraqi courts rather than U.S. military courts. Such disagreements could make it difficult for the United States and Iraq to coordinate strategies.
Both President Bush and Prime Minister al-Maliki seemed unusually somber on Wednesday, suggesting they grasp the seriousness of the situation. It remains to be seen whether they have a strategy with much chance of success.

Dr. Kosygan
I am suffering from survey pain in my leg it was happened while playing in sand when I went to the doctor he said that you had had a far actor in leg.
A small piece of bone is known as a fragment and it is very common that an avulsion fracture also tends to damage the protrusions of bone to which the tendons attach. This basically means that the tendon or ligament will come away from the bone and it will take a small piece of bone with it. It is sometimes very hard to find out what type of injury you have and this is why knowing the causes and symptoms of an avulsion fracture are very helpful in determining exactly how severe the injury is.
Here are the causes of an avulsion fracture:
- Explosive landing: Athletes who tend to jump or land with great impact tend to get these most commonly. Therefore, it is crucial for your health that if you participate in such sports, you do follow the correct method of jumping.
- Explosive extension: Similar to how an athlete landing ferociously can get an avulsion fracture, someone who is extending the legs very violently and explosively during an exercise can also get an avulsion fracture. This is because the bone getting extended could very well damage the protrusions to which the tendons are attached.
These are the two main causes of an avulsion fracture. There are not many symptoms of an avulsion fracture. This is because an avulsion fracture can only be determined by an MRI or by an X-ray scan. Therefore it is nearly impossible to diagnose that you have an avulsion fracture without looking at the results of the tests performed on the part of your body. However, the way you got the fracture and especially the details of it are very good indications of whether you have an avulsion fracture or not.

text: So the last two days have been really bad as far as pumping goes since i have been moving out of my apartment and into my house. So now that things have dramatically slowed down in my house hold I wanted to get really focused on uping my supply. So my question is do you think it would be beneficial for me to pump and get all that I can out and then wait fifteen minutes and then pump again to get as much as I can out and just continue with that pattern every 2 hours? And my second question is where do you find the dom, can your doctor write you a script for it? Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds ReviewBy Brian Leahy - Posted Feb 14, 2011
Capcom continues its assault on the fighting game genre with Marvel vs. Capcom 3, a new entry in its "Versus" franchise from the producer of the fantastic Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Is it time to break out that arcade stick again?
The Pros
- Fantastic, Rewarding Fighting Engine
- Great cast of characters
- Training and Mission modes are excellent
The Cons
- Where's the story they promised?
- Can't spectate fights online. At all.
- Online multiplayer enjoyment subject to lag
Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds Review:
While it has been 11-years since the original release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Producer Ryota Niitsuma is no stranger to Capcom's "Versus" series, having just led the team that released Tatsunoko vs. Capcom for the Japanese arcades and the Wii. Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds has some big shoes to fill. It has to live up to MvC2's tournament legacy and rabid fan-base, while also finding a broader audience in the rejuvenated fighting game genre.
Capcom, after going through a bit of licensing hell and years of fan requests for a sequel, was finally able to get development started with a renewed partnership with Marvel. While MvC2 featured a cast of 56 playable characters, many of them were severely underpowered and tournament play eventually evolved into constant bouts between Magneto, Storm, Sentinel, and a bit of Cable thrown in for good measure. MvC3 trims the roster to 36 characters (with two more announced as DLC), but just about every character seems to be a viable option. There's also a lot more variety between characters and each plays just a little bit differently from similar choices. Characters that seem like gimmick choices, Arthur or M.O.D.O.K. for example, can be great fun to throw into the mix.
Are You Ready to be Taken for a Ride?
The first thing you'll notice when you start playing MvC3 is that the fighting engine is ridiculously fun. The control system has been simplified since MvC2 and it's easy to pull off some amazing looking combos, especially compared to SF4. You'll get light, medium, and heavy attacks along with a "Special" attack that will serve mostly as your launcher, which will initiate air combos. There's a ton of depth to be found underneath the controls, however, with a lot of strategy and choice. The limiting factor to your combos will usually be your creativity, with only the most complex moves requiring exact timing. Where Super Street Fighter IV requires tricky one-frame links, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 thrives on character and meter management.
As with MvC2, you'll be fielding a team of three characters, each with one of three assist moves. This leads to a lot of potential match-ups and strategy in choosing characters. Some assists are incredibly powerful in the right situation, but do you want to choose a character based on their assist? With a little practice, you'll be executing Delayed Hyper Combos, Crossover Assists, Team Aerial Combos, and Crossover Counters. None of these are particularly difficult to do, but all come with their own risk versus reward metagame.
The newest mechanic, X-Factor, is where Marvel vs. Capcom 3 sets itself apart from MvC2 in the biggest way. Each player will get one X-Factor during a fight, which can be used to cancel out of your current move, allowing you to link otherwise unlinkable moves, or just fire off two Hyper Combos without a gap. It also, however, gives your active character a significant boost in power, speed, and negates any chip damage for its duration. The strength and duration of this boost is dependent on how many characters you have left. Sure, you can use it while you have all three fighters standing, but wait until you're down to one character and a comeback against three enemy characters is quite possible. Just remember, your opponent has one too.
It's A Real Page-Turner
Capcom and Marvel brought on Frank Tieri to handle the story and dialogue for the game, but sadly, the story isn't really anywhere to be found in the actual game. Now, story isn't high on my list of priorities for a fighting game so I'm not going to condemn the game for this, but it would have been nice to see something resembling a narrative attempted. You've got a bucket of great characters from both companies and the only story you'll get in-game are four dialogue-free cutscenes depicting a battle between heroes from Capcom and Marvel until a more sinister threat appears. To actually find out what was going on, I was forced to turn to a brief comic book included only in the Special Edition version of the game. Beyond that, character endings are quick and feature two drawings and some non-spoken dialogue. It's a missed opportunity, but doesn't really hurt the game unless you were expecting an involved, engrossing story.
The dialogue, however, is fantastic and extremely referential. Characters will refer to each other and crack wise before, during, and after battle. These quips are good for a laugh and add a lot of personality to the characters. It really helps add weight to the fact that these characters exist in the same world. This is where the true strength of the writing shines and definitely sets the standard for fighting game dialogue.
But What Will Be in Super Marvel vs. Capcom 3
As for modes, you'll get the requisite Arcade Mode, which ends with a big boss fight and unlocks each characters ending. The character that lands the last hit is the ending you'll see, which is a bit annoying. It would have been nice to see the endings for all three of your chosen characters, but this should only really annoy those people that want to finish the game with all characters on the hardest difficulty. Versus is your mode for player-versus-player on the same console. To play against the AI outside of the Arcade Mode, you'll need to utilize the game's Training Mode. Thankfully, the Training Mode is phenomenal. You'll get a ton of options for customizing the various meters, AI level, recording and playback of moves, and even a lag simulator.
Mission Mode is your one-stop shop for learning each character. Each character gets 10 missions, echoing Street Fighter IV's trial mode, which range from simple special moves to complex combos that mix and match several gameplay mechanics. Some get rather challenging, but I never felt like any one mission was completely impossible for me.
Playing any mode in the game will earn you Player Points (PP), which is how you'll unlock the game's four locked characters. These four will be yours after only a few hours of gameplay. You'll also earn gallery unlocks, achievements/trophies, and more through PP. Beyond that, there are tons of icons and titles to earn.
Endless Stream of Ryu, Wolverine, and Dante. Also, Deadpool.
Online is currently limited to Ranked Matches, Player Matches, and Lobby Mode. Ranked bouts will add to your overall rank and are one off fights between two random players. Player Matches are the same except they don't bestow rank, but do offer easy options for quick rematches. Lobby Mode lets you create a room for up to 8 players to keep matches rolling. It's a winner-stays situation, but unfortunately, this mode is crippled by not supporting ANY spectating. If you aren't fighting, you get to look at the lobby screen and some life bars of the two players that are battling. I'm told that this is something Capcom would like to patch in, but there are no guarantees.
The netcode is comparable to Super Street Fighter IV. In short, you'll probably experience a little bit of lag in almost every match, but it's certainly playable. Like all fighting games, any amount of lag is going to diminish the experience when compared to playing against a local opponent. If you utilize the matchmaking feature, you'll get plenty of low-lag games, but be warned if you're going to attempt to play against friends that live far away or have questionable Internet quality.
Much Like a Comic Book Character, It's a Hero With a Few Flaws
Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is an incredibly fun game and should be in any fighting fan's collection. While it isn't the most mode-heavy fighter on the block, it's one of the most enjoyable to actually play. I've already had play sessions where me and a buddy have rematched with no character changes twenty times in a row, trading wins back and forth. It's extremely rewarding to play and keep playing. I've put in over 20 hours of gameplay into MvC3 and I'm already thinking about it when I'm not playing.
Capcom is already adding one new mode and at least two DLC characters so hopefully we'll see additional modes and tweaks after launch. Sure, there are a few issues and the story is a missed opportunity, but there's nothing that stands out as any reason not to go and get this game right now.

Semi-private ambulance service proposed for Berlin
BERLIN With three competing proposals in hand, Select Board members must now decide whose name will be on the side of the ambulances that transport patients in and around their community come July 1.
It wont be an easy decision because there is something to be said for all three proposals two of which involve services that dont yet exist and the third submitted by the towns longtime ambulance provider.
Just how loyal the Select Board is to Barre Town Emergency Medical Services will be put to the test as the board weighs alternatives that range from investing in their volunteer departments expansion plans to accepting a no-cost offer that sounds too good to be true but might not be.
Central Vermont Emergency Medical Services offered an incentive-laden proposal, underscoring the towns status as home to a regional hospital.
For the moment, CVEMS is just an acronym for a proposed paramedic-level ambulance service being pitched as part of a public-private partnership that at least at first blush is all upside for Berlin.
Matt George, who briefly outlined the plan for board members Monday night, said Berlin would not be charged any per-capita fee under a proposed five-year contract that could be trimmed to three years if the board preferred.
Additionally, George said, the town would receive 5 percent of the ambulance services annual profits and be given four seats on its governing board, which would also include a representative from Central Vermont Medical Center. As a bonus, he said all Berlin residents would be offered free subscriptions to the ambulance service essentially guaranteeing they would not be billed for costs that werent covered by their insurance for the duration of the agreement.
George, who is the clinical services coordinator for White River Valley Ambulance, would serve as executive director of CVEMS, though he said the proposed service would be run by Jim Baraw, who is director of emergency services in Northfield.
The semi-private structure of CVEMS coupled with the fact that it would not rely even temporarily on a population-based per-capita fee as a source of operating revenue set that proposal apart from the other two one submitted by BTEMS and the other by the Berlin Volunteer Fire Department.
Both organizations were represented at a Monday night board meeting that produced no decisions. That day was the deadline to submit proposals.
At the outset, Town Administrator Jeff Schulz recommended the board take the three decidedly different proposals under advisement so members would have an opportunity to dissect them.
Its a fairly weighty, complicated issue, he said.
That may be an understatement given what Berlins business means to Barre Towns stand-alone ambulance service and what it could mean to the Berlin Volunteer Fire Departments plans to launch a fire and ambulance service that is staffed around the clock.
Barre Town Manager Carl Rogers told board members that BTEMS is keenly interested in keeping Berlin, and its 1,800 calls for service a year, as a customer of its semi-regional ambulance service. However, he said, that would come at a cost to the town.
The annual per-capita fee, which has been a feature of the local ambulance contract since BTEMS lured Berlin away from Montpelier in 1996, would start at $26 and increase 5 percent a year over the life of a proposed three-year agreement. The fee would increase to $27.30 per-capita next year and $28.67 in 2015.
According to Rogers, the per-capita fee would increase 3 percent a year if Berlin exercises an option for two additional years. Under that scenario the fee, which is assessed on all but the Riverton section of Berlin, would climb to $29.52 in 2016 before topping out at $30.41 in 2017.
If the Select Board decides to stick with BTEMS, it would pay $65,676 for the ambulance service under the first year of the agreement.
BTEMS is already licensed by the state, fully staffed and has five ambulances that were all purchased in the past year. Two of those ambulances and their paramedic-led crews are assigned to handle Berlins sizable call volume. Much of that call volume can be traced to lucrative transfers involving the hospital and two nearby nursing homes.
Meanwhile, members of the Berlin Volunteer Fire Department have renewed their request that the town award them a contract they say will enable them to staff the Four Corners station around the clock, providing swift response to all emergencies both medical and fire.
Though the service doesnt yet exist, Chief Miles Silk Jr. said it will by July 1 if the fire department is awarded the contract. He said the department has been training its members and is ready to move swiftly on a plan to lease two ambulances for the five-year duration of the contract it has proposed.
Silk and other department officials told the board there would be a per-capita fee to start, but the goal would be to gradually phase it out over the life of the contract.
According to department officials, the per-capita fee would start at $28 if voters approve a ballot item asking for an additional $180,000 to establish continuous staffing at the Four Corners station. If that request is rejected, the per-capita fee would jump to $89.02 to provide a paramedic-level ambulance service to the entire town of Berlin.
After listening to brief overviews of the three proposals, Chairman Brad Towne said the board had some reading to do. No decision will be made before the Town Meeting Day vote, but the board is expected to discuss the ambulance contract at its March 11 meeting.

The response to the entertainment openings was gratifying, said David King, sales and marketing manager for the western-theme park. Not finding enough employees could potentially derail plans to reopen Ghost Town on May 25.
"That was a concern for us, but we were so pleased at the number and talent that came out," King said. "It was amazing to see all the talent that people had."
Perhaps it's the cultural base that's already in place in Western North Carolina, but at least on the entertainment side, there is a worker boom taking place at Ghost Town. The auditions for musicians went equally as well as for cowboys – there were a variety of different groups and individual musicians, King said, including bluegrass players and piano players. A couple of magicians who can do card tricks even turned out.
King isn't so sure yet how well the entertainment park will do at filling less-skilled positions such as ride operators and ticket takers, but a slew of applications have been received, he said.

It began with a spark. From February 8 to 24, 2002, the Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games ignited the passion of 2,399 athletes representing 77 delegations, 22,000 volunteers and more than 2 billion people watching from around the world, with one simple spark among the olive groves of Greece.
After more than 12,000 torchbearers carried the Olympic Flame 13,500 miles around the United States, the 19th Olympic Winter Games officially opened with solemnity — athletes carrying a flag rescued from the September 11, 2001 attacks — and celebration, as Utah's five nations joined together for the first time in history, and LeAnn Rimes led a children's choir of 600.
Across the Wasatch Mountains, 78 events, from Jim Shea's gold-medal skeleton trip down the track at Utah Olympic Park to a dazzling performance by 17-year-old Sarah Hughes at the Salt Lake Ice Center. Tributes honored Olympian efforts on an unprecedented scale: illuminated Olympic Rings the size of 10 football fields; skyscrapers wrapped in athlete images; banners and billboards everywhere reminding us just how special the Olympic Spirit is. At the end of each magical day, free concerts and medal presentations at Olympic Medals Plaza opened the Games experience to everyone.
The Salt Lake 2002 theme of Light the Fire Within belonged to each of us, whether we were a small girl waving a flag in a stadium, or a Bode Miller revolutionizing the sport of alpine skiing with one recovery from a near-reckless run.
Athletes won gold, silver and bronze medals, and the extraordinary Ceremonies won Emmy Awards. But Salt Lake 2002 also won the hearts of a country coping with uncertain times, and united a world fractured by the events of 9/11. We had 17 days to allow the spark to catch, and now, long after the Olympic Flame flickered out, the fire within lives on in Salt Lake City and beyond.

New era greets fans on Fenway Park's opening dayAP Photo
Bostons Dustin Pedroia attempts to run out an infield single during the seventh inning of Mondays victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park in Boston.
BOSTON Loyal Red Sox fans returned to Fenway Park Monday to welcome a new team, a new manager and a rekindled sense of optimism following a stretch of disappointing seasons for one of baseballs most storied franchises.
The 3-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles made the home opener even sweeter to fans who still grimace at talk of 2011s epic collapse or last years last-place finish. Home openers here are about hot dogs, family traditions and trash-talking the Yankees, and longtime fan Pat Tobin didnt want to waste the day nursing past agonies
Im not blaming it all on Bobby Valentine, but I hate him, the 63-year-old Arlington, Mass. woman said, speaking of the former manager who last year led the team to its worst record in nearly half century. But today is opening day again the real start of the season and today there is always hope.
The 37,008 fans filling Americas oldest ballpark on Monday were treated to sunny skies and temperatures that scraped sixty a pleasing change after a long winter and another pensive offseason in Red Sox nation.
The Red Sox had the best record in baseball in 2011 when the team collapsed in historic fashion, losing 20 games in the seasons final month to miss the playoffs altogether.
In 2012, during Bostons worst year since 1965, the Red Sox traded underperforming and expensive players like Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford. And after the season, the Red Sox fired Valentine and plucked manager John Farrell away from Toronto. Team executives gave the 2013 team the motto Whats broken can be fixed.
The team still has some mending to do. Designated hitter David Ortiz is out with a right heel injury, and shortstop Stephen Drew has a concussion. Pitcher John Lackey walked off the mound Saturday with arm pain.
Still, this seasons makeover appears to be working so far. The Red Sox won the first two games of the season against the rival Yankees and are 5-2 headed into a Tuesday off day.
I like the way were playing, Farrell said. I think our guys came home with some confidence.
While comparisons to the 2004 and 2007 World Series teams seem like a stretch, fans like Michael Posluszny said theyre beginning to trust their team again.
After the debacle last year its nice to see fresh new faces, said Posluszny, 24, of New Britain, Conn., who skipped work to see his first opening day game. I would love for them to win the division, but as long as they can finish ahead of the Yankees, thats something.
Two years of disappointments will soon spell the end of Fenways nearly 10-year-old home sellout streak. While Mondays game was sold out, Red Sox executives concede the 794-game sellout streak is likely to end during April, when the Sox will play 17 games in their home ballpark.
To keep the fans in the seats, the Red Sox froze ticket prices for the third time in five years, installed new televisions around the grandstands and announced new menu items and a concession special just for April: two hot dogs for the price of one.
The prices were no doubt even better when Jack Bernard last saw a game here nearly 60 years ago. Bernard said he used to skip school to watch the Red Sox until his family moved to Florida when he was a teenager. This year, Bernards sons Brian and Jason brought him back to Fenway to celebrate his 73rd birthday.
I watch all the games I can but its just not the same as being here, said Bernard, of Jacksonville, Fla. I told them to pinch me but I asked them to wait until after.
Another father and son were looking to turn Mondays home opener into a tradition. Tom Gleifert and his seven-year-old son Tommy, Jr., posed for photographs and marveled at Fenways emerald grass before the first pitch.
The elder Gleifert has been coming to the 101-year-old ballpark since he was a kid.
Were playing hooky, Tom Gleifert said. This sure beats school and work.
Tommy, Jr., making his second trip to Fenway, was more single-minded.
I want them to win, he said.
On this day, they did.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md. Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series. Full StoryBOSTON New Boston Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale said he isnt worried that he might not be the ace... Full StoryNORMAN, Okla. Full Story

Hi everyone!
I have an 8 month old (no teeth yet) and just now really starting to give him a little something to eat. I'm doing BLW but I'm absolutely horrified that he'll choke. I've read that if he feeds himself, there's a less likely chance he'll choke so I've been having him feed himself. Lately, I've been giving him ripe pear where he could just mash it with his tongue.
My main question is... how big or small should I cut his food? With the pear, I just have this huge chunk for him to hold and put in his mouth.
Any help or comfort will greatly be appreciated =). Thanks!!

Family movie night this week was a viewing of Peter Pan on Blu-ray. My kids haven't ever seen the movie, but given our recent trip to Disney World and their love for meeting Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Captain Hook and adoring the Peter Pan ride at the Magic Kingdom, I knew it would be a well-received movie for all five of us to enjoy. I haven't seen this movie- well, I'm not sure I'd ever seen the movie in it's entirety-I've seen the musical on Broadway as a kid several times and always loved it.
My kids were riveted. All three of them. I guess they were enamored with seeing some of their new Disney friends being on the screen- although none of them understood why Tinkerbell didn't speak in the movie, since she was very animated and very talkative in person. I'd forgotten how parts of the story went, especially with the Indians, but the kids were fine with it. They found the same things funny that I always have – and maybe even more!
The Diamond Edition is definitely worth purchasing- you even get a free storybook app. We have a portable DVD player and when we get the combo packs, I always tuck the DVD into the case for the portable player and keep the blu-ray in the living room. That way, we're never stuck without a kid-friendly movie if we're travelling long distance. The digital restoration is really well done- technology is so amazing- this film is 60 years old now!
On February 5, 2013, The Walt Disney Studios celebrates the 60th Anniversary release of Walt Disney's classic and sound – for the first time on Blu-ray™. The classic tale that taught us all "to believe" and first introduced us to the Darling children – Wendy, John and Michael – as they flew with Peter Pan and Tinker Bell past the second star to the right and straight on 'till morning to the enchanted world of Never Land. Rediscover the magical adventure and relive childhood memories of this great bedtime story.
The "Peter Pan" Diamond Edition Blu-ray Combo Pack (Blu-ray + DVD, "Peter Pan," as it soars to all-new heights – with a new digital restoration and high definition picture
+ Digital Copy & Storybook App) is a "must-own" addition to everyone's home entertainment collection, filled with high-flying bonus features for all ages that includes – the groundbreaking feature Disney Intermission, Growing up with Nine Old Men short film, never-before-seen Deleted Scenes and a never-before-heard Deleted Song.
"Peter Pan" is a timeless classic from Disney's Golden Age of animation. The film is one of three to boast all nine of Walt's famous "Nine Old Men" as Directing Animators, and is a revered audience favorite. "Peter Pan" Diamond Edition 3-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack will be available for a limited time only for the suggested retail price of $44.99 (US) and $51.99 (Canada) from Walt Disney Studios.
I received a Peter Pan: Diamond Edition for review. Opinions are my own.

OAKLAND -- The Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation (CHSWC) is pleased to announce the final release of the CHSWC memo "Requirement for Insurer Review of Employer's IIPP." The January 19, 2012 memo was previously posted on the CHSWC website for comment and feedback.
The memo provides a brief background on the law requiring that every employer in California establish, implement and maintain an injury and illness prevention program (IIPP), per Cal/OSHA's Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) Standard (Title 8, California Code of Regulations Section 3203). Also included in the memo is background on the requirement of the insurer to review certain employers' IIPPs for effectiveness.
CHSWC is charged with examining the health and safety and workers' compensation systems in California and recommending administrative or legislative modifications to improve their operation. The Commission was established to conduct a continuing examination of the workers' compensation system and of the state's activities to prevent industrial injuries and occupational illnesses and to examine those programs in other states.
Information about the memo "Requirement for Insurer Review of Employer's IIPP" is available online as is information about CHSWC.

I spoke with my doctor today about starting Valcyte. He said it is fine to crush it. We have instructions so thank goodness no worries about that. He also said people tend to feel worse for 2-3 months but that means it's working. The symptoms that get worse are the same ones that I'm experiencing now.
I mentioned how I noticed that when I'm not feeling well my anxiety increases and then it becomes a vicious cycle in my head. The doctor explained this happens because my brain is inflamed and can't process things normally right now. I can't remember how he put it but it was very helpful. The brain inflammation also affects mood, cognition, and other things. Thank goodness I've gotten used to the freaky idea that my brain is inflamed. Right now my anxiety is focused on the heart stuff.
But the real news is that treatment will take be taking a completely different course for the next 6 weeks. Because of where I did my post-doc, the timing of my symptoms, and a strange bite I had I have been concerned about lyme disease. I'm pretty sure that my illness is viral but in many, many cfs people there exists viral as well as lyme, and other co-infections. Our immune systems are a mess.
I'll be taking some herbs to treat babesia and then in 2 weeks start on a 4-6 week course of antibiotics. If lyme and babesia are the pathogens then I'll know in 6 weeks because I'll start to feel a lot better. If I don't feel better than I'll start Valcyte. I expressed wish to be as aggressive as possible with treatment and he said that with this illness one needs to be patient. I thought that was very timely and wise.
I haven't noticed too much of a difference with the mitochondria treatment and b12 injections. It has probably helped about 5%-not much but I'll take it. I'm going to try undenatured whey protein.
I feel good about the way my doctor is approaching treatment. Valcyte is a big commitment. Deep down I know I'm not ready to begin that journey. Maybe I won't need to.
I woke up this morning feeling like shit-absolutely awful. When I feel this way it scares me. My immediate thought was I can't start Valcyte today because I'm too sick. I've been feeling weak, lightheaded, anxious, no appetite, and a wired fatigue. Yesterday it was really hot. Today too. I think the heat and not sleeping well has contributed to how bad I feel.
I'll also be starting liquid doxepin tonight to help with sleep. It also might help with anxiety. I also have the okay to triple my klonopin if need be. I don't want to increase the klonopin because of the addictive nature of the drug and because getting off klonopin can be a nightmare. I'll stick with meditating and see what happens with the doxepin. If I need to take klonopin as needed I'll do that.

In China, Kerry talks N. Korea, regional tensionsBy MATTHEW LEE
the associated press | February 15,2014ap photo
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, left, meets with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang at the Zhongnanhai Leadership Compound on Friday.BEIJING U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday he had won a commitment from China to help bring a belligerent North Korea back to nuclear disarmament talks, even as he butted heads with Chinese leaders over a series of increasingly aggressive steps Beijing has taken to assert itself in territorial disputes with its smaller neighbors.
Kerry met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other senior officials as he sought to underscore the Obama administrations commitment to refocusing U.S. foreign policy on the Asia-Pacific region amid myriad other global priorities. He addressed issues ranging from climate change, human rights and rule of law, to Syria and Iran with his Chinese hosts.
Speaking to reporters following those talks, Kerry praised China for joining with the U.S. in calling for North Korea to dismantle its nuclear programs and said he urged Beijing to use every tool at its disposal to convince its communist neighbor to return to the long-stalled disarmament talks.
North Korea must take meaningful, concrete and irreversible steps toward verifiable denuclearization, and it needs to begin now, Kerry said. China could not have more forcefully reiterated its commitment to that goal, its interest in achieving that goal and its concerns about not achieving that goal.
Kerry said the Chinese officials had told him they were willing to take additional steps to achieve North Korean denuclearization and that both sides had traded ideas for further consideration. He did not elaborate on what those steps were, but a day earlier in South Korea had suggested they could involve reductions in commercial and energy trade between China and North Korea.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, meanwhile, said China would never allow chaos or war on the Korean Peninsula.
China is serious on this, as shown not only in our words but in our actions, Wang said, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
While China is North Koreas only significant ally and main source of economic assistance, the extent of Chinas influence, and willingness to use it, is unclear following a purge in the isolated countrys leadership.
Diplomats say Beijing received no prior warning ahead of the December arrest and execution of North Korean leader Kim Jong Uns uncle, Jang Song Thaek, who had been considered Pyongyangs point man on China affairs and was a strong promoter of free trade zones being set up along their mutual border.
That came on the heels of Pyongyangs snubbing of Beijings wishes when it conducted a missile test in late 2012, followed by the underground detonation of a nuclear device last spring.
Jangs removal was seen as depriving Beijing of its chief conduit into the North Korean regime and in the weeks that followed the leadership found itself at a loss as to how to proceed. A delegation of Chinese diplomats led by the Foreign Ministrys deputy head of Asian affairs visited Pyongyang last week in a sign that Beijing was attempting to renew dialogue with Kims government, although it remains to be seen whether the North was any more receptive to Chinas pleas to return to the nuclear talks.
Those discussions involving the two Koreas, the United States, China, Russia and Japan, broke down at the end of 2008, and U.S. officials say they see no point of restarting talks until Pyongyang shows an authentic desire to make good on its prior commitments to dismantle its nuclear programs.
A UN Commission of Inquiry, meanwhile, found that North Korea had committed crimes against humanity and recommended that its findings be referred to the International Criminal Court, two people familiar with the commissions report, due to be released Monday, told The Associated Press. The commission found evidence of such crimes as extermination.
While praising China for its stance on North Korea, Kerry was less sanguine about Beijings response to U.S. concerns about its increasing territorial assertiveness, especially as it relates to declaring an air defense zone over contested areas in the East China Sea and suggestions it might do the same in the South China Sea.
Kerry said he told the Chinese of the need to establish a calmer, more rule-of-law based, less confrontational approach with respect to its territorial disputes.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

People's Republik Of California Now #1 In Poverty
The brokeyest broke state in the nation (which means it is also one of the brokeyest broke entities in the world, as it has the world's 8th largest economy) has long served as the place where the far left has conducted field experiments for their policies. How's that working out? Neil Munro tells us
(Daily Caller) The Golden State has fallen on hard times, with a poverty rate that is now twice as bad as West Virginia's and substantially worse than the rates of poverty in Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Texas.
Democrat-run California earned its last-place rank under the federal government's new measure of poverty, which incorporates more detailed analyses of welfare payments and the local costs of food, gasoline and housing. (View the new census data report)
The state's costs are boosted by its environmental and workplace regulations, and by 38 million residents' competition for housing close to the sea.
Hooray, they're #1, they're #!!!!!1!!!! I'm betting they really want to lean on the liberal trope that there are no winners and losers, so everyone should get a blue ribbon for competing.
The new measure, dubbed the "Supplemental Poverty Measure," revised the California's poverty rate from 16.3 percent up to 23.5 percent.
The report estimates that roughly 8.8 million people in California were poor during between 2009 and 2011, when Democrats controlled the state legislature and governorship, as well as the White House. (snip)
The new measure supplants a poverty gauge developed in the 1960s. It incorporates the economic impact of welfare programs, transportation and child-care costs, changes in child-rearing practices – especially the impact of single parents raising kids – plus differences in the region's average prices and health care costs.
This is all despite the large number of lefties working in the entertainment and tech industries, making boodles of money and refusing to give back. A large number of 1%ers failing to help the 99%ers.
The massive influx of illegal aliens sure doesn't help. They've caused many southern California emergency rooms to shut down, and approximately one third of the California prison population is comprised of illegals. Then you add in the "progressive" nanny state policies and high taxes, the job killing uber-environmental policies, support of unions policies, and other workplace policies, and you end up with Brokeifornia having the worst poverty rate. Congratulations!

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — People often seek to understand why things happen the way they do in all areas of life, including sports. The answer may be found among three distinct theories that seek to explain the strange mixture of uplifting and disappointing outcomes. The first points to fate: that everything is pre-ordained and we are merely acting out a script that was already transcribed. To accept this bleak, deterministic view of things implies we are not really in control. Ergo some teams are just "fated" to win, while others are destined to lose.
An opposing idea is that we have free will and it is by our choices and acts that we influence what may or may not happen. Coaches preach this mantra to their teams: that it's up to them to achieve success by choosing to work collectively and intensely for the common goal. The late iconic UCLA Coach John Wooden never had his team look at film of opponents. He maintained that the only thing that mattered was how well the Bruins executed their game plan. It certainly worked during his tenure, which included 10 national championships. Then there is the issue of randomness: things just happen. Call it luck or the lack of it. A shot goes in, a ball bounces a certain way, a key player fouls out. Sometimes teams are just lucky. While this may all seem strangely metaphysical considering this is a sports column, actually it's not. To a certain extent all three of these theories interact.
This past week, the Tri-Valley girls basketball team 9-4 (3-2 OCIAA), which had previously suffered only one league loss, an unfortunate 61-56-overtime home defeat to Chester back on December 14, went on the road to take on the Lady Hambletonians 9-3 (6-0 OCIAA), who would remain undefeated in Division V. As the three-time reigning division champs, the Tri-Valley Lady Bears viewed this game as a must-win scenario if they were to retain, at least, a share of the title, as well as a higher seed in the Section 9 Class C sectionals. They implemented a new zone defense in an attempt to deter the interior adept scoring of sophomore Simone Ayers. But despite that new wrinkle, which they soon had to abandon, they ended up losing 58-46 with Chester claiming the division crown. Success is never guaranteed because of past triumphs and, in this case, Chester played far better. It wasn't luck and it wasn't fate. Down the line, these teams may meet again in the more meaningful Section 9 playoffs. What went before won't matter as each team marshals its best to see which prevails and moves on.
While the comparative impact of the aforementioned theories is subject to debate, the notion of change is not. "To everything there is a season," Ecclesiastes reminds us.
Sullivan West's boys teams struggled mightily after the success of the good years like 2005 and 2006, but beginning last year and now into this one, the wheel has turned. Dynamic wins last week against once-powerful, now vastly diminished Liberty, to the tune of 81-39, and then a 67-49 victory against a very talented and quick Tri-Valley team that has also turned its success northward of late, evinced the inevitability of change. It is not random. It is forged by a collusion of talent (sometimes that does involve luck of having people in the right place and the right time) and hard word—the will, perseverance and the right kind of mentoring.
The stats: Sullivan West (7-3) downed Tri-Valley 67-49 led by Matt Cardona's 27 points. The Bears (8-3) will have a rematch with the Westies at this week's Fifth Annual Sullivan County BCANY versus Cancer Classic Tournament, slated for Sullivan County Community College on February 8-9.
Other games on the docket feature Friday Night clashes between Roscoe and Fallsburg boys and Eldred and Livingston Manor girls. Saturday offers T-V vs SW boys rematch and T-V vs. SW girls. Monticello and Liberty jayvee and varsity will face off. Last year's tourney raised upwards of $3,000 for the Catskill Regional Oncology Unit. This year's added games will hopefully add to that total.
Correction: Mitch Paciga's high jump was 6-3, not 6-4 as reported. It was a personal best but one inch shy of the Section 9 lead.
