"Safety is our first priority," George Wommack, CEO of Petro Waste Environmental emphasized in a brief written statement.
In the email to a reporter with The Progress, Wommack described his company as "an integral part" of the drilling process.
"Our facility will handle the non-hazardous by-products created from drilling oil and gas wells in McMullen County," Wommack said. "PWE adheres to all state and federal regulations."
But local officials such as McMullen County Judge James Teal, Live Oak County Judge Jim Huff and their respective commissioners courts are not convinced.
Huff has said the company's plans he has reviewed send out a "red flag" to him on behalf of Coastal Bend area residents—who depend on the water supply from the Frio River as it flows into Choke Canyon and the Nueces River down in Corpus Christi.
"It's too big of a project not to take notice," Judge Huff said in a previous interview.
Judge Teal has said McMullen County representatives hope to convince Petro Waste Environmental LP to possibly relocate the disposal facility.
Teal recently authored and sponsored a letter to the Texas Railroad Commission. In it, he said McMullen County Commissioners Court—as the only governmental body with any regulatory authority on this disposal site proposed by PWE—has problems reconciling the company's development plans with the possible effect it could have on the local environment.((The property in question is located on property four miles north of unincorporated Tilden.)
Among Judge Teal's concerns—and a major reason for his request the Railroad Commission conduct a public hearing on the matter—is "potentially hazardous waste" he believes could be exposed to the environment.
On their "Notice of Application for a Commercial Disposal Facility" placed in area newspapers on March 21, officials with Petro Waste Environmental, LP of San Antonio applied to the Railroad Commission to operate a commercial disposal facility "to treat and dispose of non-hazardous oil and gas waste at the McMullen County Reclamation & Disposal Facility."
Teal said in his letter the company plans to "dump and dispose of a broad variety of oil and gas related operational waste" on the aforementioned 1,500 acres in McMullen County.
The forms of oil and gas waste listed in the formal letter of protest include water and based drilling fluid and associated cuttings, tank bottoms of various kinds, waste materials from produced water collecting pits, produced formation sand, non-injectable waste waters, soil contaminated with produced water, crude oil or condensation solid waste from gas dehydration and sweetening, iron sulfide, spent activated carbon and other filtering and separation media, and waste such as contaminated concrete or wood.
This week, Judge Huff continued the push to recruit local governments—specifically the Three Rivers City Council—to oppose the site. Additionally, Judge Teal has approached the Corpus Christi City Council, which passed a subsequent resolution to that effect.
In the brief response, Wommack emphasized that safety—and the importance of community—are paramount in the company's actions.
"PWE is Texan owned and operated, and we are proud to contribute to the local economy in McMullen County," Wommack said.

JP Morgan targets hedge funds and SWFs in new sales push
JP Morgan has set up a dedicated equities salesforce in London to serve its hedge fund clients and sovereign wealth funds, as part of the bank's push to become a top three cash equities house globally.
JP Morgan sent an internal announcement to staff detailing the moves last month, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Simon Taylor, who re-joined the bank in 2012 after a stint as head of equity sales trading at Royal Bank of Scotland, has been tasked with leading the new 10-strong cash equity hedge fund sales team. He will report to Michael Wilson, head of equity sales in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Previously, JP Morgan's hedge fund clients were served in cash equities by its broader sales desk, but the new team will mirror an existing equity derivatives sales desk for hedge funds.
The bank has also established a dedicated equities sales team that will cover sovereign wealth funds from Europe. Christian Kutscher will lead this effort and report in to Ben Watson, head of UK cash equity sales.
JP Morgan is chasing a top three spot as a cash equities broker but, according to revenue data from the consultancy Coalition, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs occupied the one-to-three places, respectively, at the end of 2013.
At an investor day earlier this year, Daniel Pinto, JP Morgan's chief executive of corporate and investment banking, noted that cash equities was the only major product area in the CIB in which the bank was not ranked as one of the top three banks. He said he planned to change that.
The new initiatives follow the appointment of Wilson to lead equity sales in Emea in March. Wilson added cash equities to his equity derivatives brief following the departure of Paddy Burrowes. Earlier this month, Financial News reported that JP Morgan had hired Jacqueline Taylor from Goldman Sachs as head of middle-market equity sales in Europe.
The bank's research team has also seen a number of changes under Joyce Chang, who was promoted to head of global research when Pinto became sole head of the corporate and investment bank earlier this year.
Most recently, it has hired a lead analyst at Credit Suisse as head of European diversified financials on its Emea equity research team. Gurjit Kambo will join at the end of August, based in London, according to an internal memo seen by Financial News. A spokesman for the bank confirmed the contents of the memo. He will report to Christian Kern and Peter Elwin, who are co-heading the business while Paul Huxford is on sabbatical.
Also within research, Daniel Butcher is relocating from Sydney to London to cover European oil field services. He will report to Fred Lucas, head of European oil and gas equity research. Butcher joined JP Morgan in 2010 from Deutsche Bank.

There is certainly no lack of fundamental changes impacting grain prices that will influence price swings this spring: worldwide economic turmoil, Egypt, Libya and the earthquake in Japan. All of these factors providing extreme unknowns not only to the energy markets, but also to the grain and livestock markets.
The nuclear crisis in Japan may be one of the biggest factors. Imagine what this is doing to economies throughout the world, such as the impact on Hawaiian tourism. Any business that does trade with Japan is making contingency plans.
If anyone tells you they know exactly what this means for commodity prices, they are either kidding themselves or trying to kid you. No one knows what the exact outcome of this volatility is going to be.
A few things we do know:
- We have to get the corn, soybean and cotton crop planted in the U.S. Regardless of what's going on around the world we need big production here.
- Demand for U.S. agricultural products worldwide has thus far not been hurt. People still need to eat.
- Energy flows have not been obstructed. No crude-oil shipments have been stopped. There has been absolutely no disruption in energy channels at all as I write this in mid-March.

What are your thoughts on racing under the lights at Kansas especially with having a win there under your belt?
"Everyone enjoys racing under the lights. I certainly do and I think we can return to victory lane there this weekend with the No. 31 Kwikset Chevrolet. It's a different deal now because the track has been repaved and it is so much faster. I think it is going to be an amazing race track with progressive banking once it ages out to the point where we can use the entire track. I really don't know what to expect this weekend after a winter's worth of weather beating up the race track a little bit. I expect our Kwikset Chevrolet to be competitive. When we look at the RCR history at the track, especially scoring the pole and victory back in the fall race, I feel like the entire organization has the potential to bring home a win on Saturday night and I think we have some added confidence when we pull through the gates this week."
We've raced at 1.5-mile tracks already like Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway. What are your thoughts about racing at Kansas?
"I think Kansas is a track all its own. With the new asphalt and the different aggregates they have at the different race tracks now, even if it's a 1.5-mile track, there is a lot of difference between them and you have to really approach each track as its own unique entity."

Ladies Against Senator Sleaze-Bob
Conservatives are always told they don't do enough to reach across the aisle. We're divisive, obstructionist and hostile to bipartisanship. So in the spirit of unity and comity, I'm announcing the formation of a new social justice group: Ladies Against Senator Sleaze-Bob.
Now all I need are some principled Democratic ladies and liberal media lionesses to step up to the plate with me to protest the vulgar, sexist behavior of Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J.
Surely, Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Cher, Sandra Fluke, Eva Longoria and I can all agree that when a powerful Washington politician abuses his power to victimize young women, we should join hands to demand justice. Right?
Surely, Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer, Arianna Huffington, Rachel Maddow, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Lena Dunham, Tina Fey and every card-carrying member of NOW across America are outraged by this Beltway playboy's tawdry exploitation of underage prostitutes.
And surely, Hillary Clinton, Valerie Jarrett, Stephanie Cutter and Michelle Obama are all sickened by this top Democrat's profligate election-season jaunts to the Dominican Republic on a shady donor's private plane.
Oh, wait. What? You haven't heard about Menendez's war on women from the left-wing War on Women brigade? Nary a progressive peep? Well, knock me over with a Code Pink feather boa. Not sure how the story could have slipped their news-savvy feminist minds.
The divorced Menendez is in slowly bubbling hot water over a couple of trips he's taken over the years to the Caribbean for sex parties with young women, reportedly including a 16-year-old minor. The left-leaning watchdog group CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) and the right-leaning publication The Daily Caller were the first to publicize allegations last November that Menendez solicited prostitutes with his creepy donor pal Florida eye doctor Salomon Melgen.
On Wednesday night, the FBI and the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General raided Melgen's home and hauled away more than 30 cardboard boxes. The news jogged Menendez's memory and — mirabile dictu — the incoming chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee suddenly remembered that he owed nearly $60,000 to Melgen as reimbursement for two private-jet flights taken three years ago.
While Menendez's office blames a "right-wing blog" for his troubles, CREW released an e-mail yesterday detailing Menendez's encounters with four Dominican female escorts at an island resort owned by Melgen. One of the women wrote about Menendez's pervy proclivities: "That senator also likes the youngest and newest girls. … In the beginning he seemed so serious, because he never spoke to anyone, but he is just like the others and has just about the same tastes as the doctor, very refined. I think they were taking us more often to get us checked (medically) because of him."
The women, who accused Menendez of stiffing them out of their pay, said they feared retaliation, because they "know the kind of people (we're) dealing with."
And we know how leading Democratic men on Capitol Hill are dealing with the news. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., derided the news source of the scandal for bringing up "a lot of non-issues." White House spokesman Jay Carney punted in response to a question about whether President Obama still has confidence in Menendez: "I don't have anything for you on that." And other than a stray joke from Jay Leno, the Democratic-entertainment complex has nothing to say, either.
So it's time for my fellow Ladies Against Senator Sleaze-Bob to represent. Where you at, LASSes? The political boys club is calling the exploited women of tax-evader Melgen's Doll Palace liars and trying to sweep this pedo-tainted scandal under the rug. I guess some "binders full of women" are more equal than others.

Day 11 in the special agent Christopher Deedy's murder trial was filled with tears on the stand and in the gallery. But it was an important day, breaking down the events and the injuries that help to tell the story.
"(Christopher) Deedy and (Jessica West) were intoxicated," said McDonald's cashier Brandalynn Salzbrenner.
"How do you know that?" asked deputy prosecutor Janice Futa.
"I could smell them when they talked," said Salzbrenner.
Salzbrenner said she remembers that night well -- no matter how hard she tries to forget it.
She remembered Kollin Elderts asking customer Michel Perrine if he could buy his food, joking with him, enough for Salzbrenner to ask Elderts to stop.
Then she said she saw Deedy engaging, to stop what she believes he saw as harassment.
"I remember Kollin's friend (Shane Medeiros) telling Deedy not to get involved in the situation because it wasn't between him," she said.
Salzbrenner said she saw the group fighting.
Then, she broke down recalling the moment Deedy reached for his gun.
"He was telling Kollin..." she trailed off, and then broke down crying, unable to finish her thought.
"Elderts had several injures," began medical examiner Kanthi De Alwiss.
Elderts was pronounced dead at 3:24am on Nov. 6, 2011.
She said he died of bleeding from an injury to the lung.
The pictures of his body were almost too much for family members to take, with several putting their heads down, crying, and others leaving the courtroom.
But those pictures provided critical details:
--From the power tattoo: those red marks on his face that showed one bullet grazed Elderts' cheek.
--To the horizontal injury on his leg: that the medical examiner said appeared to come from a kick to the shin.
"The blood alcohol would have been higher at time of shooting than death," defense attorney Karl Blanke asked De Alwiss.
"Yes," she responded.
De Alwiss reported the blood alcohol test, performed about a day later, and with Elderts' blood already diluted with fluids, came in at 0.127.
The toxicology report also showed Elderts was not only drunk, but on drugs.
"So all three substances were present simultaneously," Blanke asked, referring to the alcohol, marijuana and cocaine found in his system.
"Yes," confirmed De Alwiss.
As the defense attorneys got their turn with Salzbrenner, she admitted she didn't actually see everything that happened -- still leaving holes and conflicting reports on what happened that terrifying and tragic night.
"What were you scared of?" asked Futa.
"Because if he could have shot one person, he could have shot us all," said Salzbrenner.
Defense attorneys pointed out that on a number of occasions on the video, you see Salzbrenner turn or look away, so they argue she could not have seen everything that happened.
Salzbrenner was also the one who called 911, saying the shooter had left the building when he had not.

Marengo's girls cross country team is led by senior Katie Adams, who likely will be a favorite at next week's IHSA cross country state meet in the Class 2A girls race.
The Indians have a competitive, balanced team that is ranked No. 3 by running website Illinois Prep Harrier and should have a shot at a team trophy at state.
But Marengo is taking nothing for granted. Not after last year.
The Indians were set to make their second successive trip to state when they came up short in the Class 2A Belvidere Sectional, which might be the best in the state. Marengo had a subpar day in that race and only Adams made it to state.
"We may have overlooked the sectional a little bit and did not run well," Marengo coach R.J. Meyer said. "I like where we're at physically and mentally. They're running with a little chip on their shoulders from last year."
Which is a good thing.
Adams is unbeaten. No. 2 runner Allie Sprague is battling through a stress reaction in her left foot (the precursor to a stress fracture). No. 3 runner Katie St. Clair has been outstanding and Nos. 4 and 5 runners Kitty Allen and Lexi Olson have improved throughout the season. Meyer said the Belvidere Sectional – which has No. 3 Marengo, No. 4 Kaneland and No. 5 Crystal Lake Central – will come down to the Nos. 4 and 5 runners.
"We have a really good shot at making it to state and doing well," Sprague said. "I'm excited to see where it takes us. We have a really deep team. Definitely this year we're focused on just getting to state."
Marengo made it two years ago and thought it would be there last year. That disappointment attributes to the chip Meyer mentioned. The Indians beat Central, last year's Class 2A state runner-up, earlier this year, but could not beat Jacobs, which is No. 9 in the Class 3A girls rankings.
"We really challenged ourselves at the Antioch Invitational (which Jacobs won) and competed with Jacobs," Meyer said. "We're in a really good spot."
Stress-ing out: Sprague, a junior, and Jacobs sophomore Lauren Van Vlierbergen have battled through the past month of the season with similar injuries. Like Van Vlierbergen, who won the Fox Valley Conference Meet championship and led her team to the title, Sprague has done limited running and been doing most of her training in the swimming pool at Centegra Health System in Huntley.
Sprague wears a boot for protection most of the time at school and away from practice. She has been running mainly on Wednesdays with the team, then training in the pool on other days.
"It started bothering me at Kaneland (on Sept. 15)," Sprague said. "I felt it two weeks before that in practice. I take a lot of Advil, it's been hurting for a while. The boot gives it as much rest as I can. I've been wearing it for two or three weeks."
Sprague ran for the Indians when they won the Big Northern Conference Meet, but sat out last week's Belvidere North Regional, which Marengo won without her.
"We hammer her pretty hard on Wednesdays, then she does everything else in the pool," Meyer said.
Florida-bound: Four local players – Huntley's Colin Lyman, Huntley's Bryce Only, Prairie Ridge's Bryan Klendworth and Cary-Grove's Daniel Vilardo – will play in the Perfect Game World Championship baseball tournament in Jupiter, Fla.
Hampshire coach John Sarna and Vilardo will be with the Chicago Scouts Association. Lyman and Klendworth are with former White Sox player John Cangelosi's team and Only will play with the Midwest Reds.
Lyman has committed to Louisville and Only has committed to Nebraska.

Five more people have been reported killed by Hurricane Ernesto, which first made landfall last week on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, raising the death toll from the storm to 12, officials said.
The latest deaths occurred in two traffic accidents Friday in the southern state of Guerrero blamed on the storm.
A total of 32 automobiles crashed on the Highway of the Sun, which links the Pacific port city of Acapulco to Mexico City.
The pile-up happened on the El Zapote bridge, located about 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from Chilpancingo, the capital of Guerrero, due to poor weather.
A man died and 29 other people were injured in the accident, state officials said.
Rain, fog and speeding by some drivers were to blame for the accident, emergency services officials said.
Four people, meanwhile, were killed on the Chilpancingo-Iguala federal highway when two vehicles collided.
The accident claimed the lives of a woman and three men, emergency services officials said.
An emergency declaration has been requested for the 81 cities in Guerrero, the state government said in a statement.
Five deaths from Ernesto were reported earlier this weekend in the Gulf state of Veracruz.
Three members of a family were killed when a tree fell on their vehicle in the town of Rio Blanco, Veracruz emergency management office spokesman Manuel Escalera told Efe Friday.
Two other people drowned when they were swept away by a river in the Veracruz town of Tihuatlan, Gov. Javier Duarte said.
Another individual perished Thursday in the port city of Coatzacoalcos before Ernesto made landfall a second time as a tropical storm. That victim slipped and fell while doing repair work on his home, but local officials determined the death was not related to the weather system.
Ernesto dumped torrential rain on 212 municipalities in Veracruz, where the emergency management office ordered at least 1,000 people to evacuate homes located along several river banks.
The storm caused damage to homes and roads, and triggered some power outages and mudslides.
Ernesto first made landfall Tuesday night near Mahahual, a fishing town in the southeastern state of Quintana Roo, as a Category 1 hurricane packing winds of up to 165 kph (103 mph).
The storm crossed the Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday without causing any casualties or serious damage and then moved back over water.
Early Thursday afternoon, it made landfall near Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, bringing winds of 96 kph (60 mph) and causing two deaths in the neighboring state of Tabasco. EFE

As I write this piece, we're in the midst of a (biodiesel) road trip to Washington, D.C., towing behind us an unwieldy piece of history: a solar panel off the roof of the Carter White House. It's decades old, though it still makes hot water just fine. In a sense, we're traveling backward—which in another sense is what I think we're going to have to do for a while in the U.S. climate movement.
The bad news everyone knows. The strongest attempt ever to pass climate legislation through the U.S. Congress came up short earlier this summer. The inside-the-Beltway green groups took what seemed to be the route of least resistance: a very tame piece of climate legislation larded with special prizes for special interests. They worked it as hard as it could have been worked—and in the end it didn't even come close. The fossil fuel industry and their allies in D.C. barely had to break a sweat shooting it down.
So—barring some unforeseen development—we're not going to see significant action on the federal level about climate for at least the next two years.
The solar panels need to be up on the roof, as visible as the White House garden.And that means we're far less likely to see significant international action on climate, since it's hard for other governments to muster the political will to make tough choices when the U.S. is punting.
President Obama is up against tough odds in Congress. But they can't filibuster his roof.We're headed for the White House with this old panel, and with a promise from the U.S. company Sungevity that it will supply all the brand-new panels the president could ever want—as long as he puts them up on his roof where everyone can see them. George W. Bush, amazingly enough, actually put some solar back in the White House grounds—on the roof of a maintenance shed, and on, who knew, the Presidental Spa and Cabana. But since he didn't tell anyone, they didn't do much good. We want them up there on the roof, as visible as the White House garden, which helped boost seed sales 30 percent across the nation the year Michelle planted it.
The point of the solar panels is to help build the movement that we allowed to wither away.He took the Sungevity offer, and he'll be putting solar panels on his roof on October 10 (10-10-10), the same day that thousands of groups around the world will be participating in a massive Global Work Party, putting up wind turbines and laying out bike paths. The same day we want Barack Obama, sleeves rolled up, out on his roof with a wrench.

Government and How it Works For YouOnce upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions and one person to do time studies. Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people, one to do the studies and one to write the reports. Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created two positions, a time keeper and a payroll officer then hired two people. Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, an Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary. Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year, and we are $918,000 over budget. We must cut back." So they laid off the night watchman. NOW slowly, let that sink in. Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY during the Carter Administration? Anybody? Ready?? It was very simple . . . and, at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate. The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977 TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL. Hey, pretty efficient, huh??? AND, NOW, IT'S 2010 -- 33 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR.� IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES, AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE! THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?"A little over 33 years ago, 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports.� Today 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports. Ah, yes -- the good old Federal bureaucracy!!NOW, WE HAVE TURNED THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY OVER TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT?
What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

General Discussion
Gorham-Stout disease (GSD), which is also known as vanishing bone disease, disappearing bone disease, massive osteolysis, and more than a half-dozen other terms in the medical literature, is a rare bone disorder characterized by progressive bone loss (osteolysis) associated with the overgrowth (proliferation) of lymphatic vessels. Affected individuals experience progressive destruction and resorption of bone. Multiple bones may become involved. Areas commonly affected by GSD include the ribs, spine, pelvis, skull, collarbone (clavicle), and the jaws (maxillofacial area). Pain and swelling in the affected area may occur. Bones affected by GSD are prone to reduced bone mass (osteopenia) and fracture. The severity of GSD can vary from one person to another and the disorder can potentially cause disfigurement and functional disability of affected areas. The exact cause of GSD is unknown.
While GSD mainly involves the musculoskeletal system, it can involve the viscera, and is closely related to generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA, also known as lymphangiomatosis). Patients with GLA have multifocal lymphatic malformations. These malformations can be present in bone but do not cause the loss of cortical bone. Lymphatic malformations are rare non-malignant masses consisting of fluid-filled channels or spaces thought to be caused by the abnormal development of the lymphatic system, which includes lymph nodes, the small nodules where certain white blood cells (lymphocytes) and other cells participate in the immune regulatory system of the body. When fluid leaves arteries and enters the soft tissue and organs of the body, it does so without red or white blood cells. This thin watery fluid is known as lymph. The lymphatic system consists of a network of tubular channels (lymph vessels) that transport lymph back into the bloodstream. Lymph accumulates between tissue cells and contains proteins, fats, and lymphocytes. As lymph moves through the lymphatic system, it passes through the network of lymph nodes that help the body to deactivate sources of infection (e.g., viruses, bacteria, etc.) and other potentially injurious substances and toxins. Groups of lymph nodes are located throughout the body, including in the neck, under the arms (axillae), at the elbows, and in the chest, abdomen, and groin. The lymphatic system also includes the spleen, which filters worn-out red blood cells and produces lymphocytes; and bone marrow, which is the spongy tissue inside the cavities of bones that manufactures blood cells. Lymphatic malformations can affect any area of the body (except the brain), but most commonly affect the head and neck. When lymphatic malformations are widespread in bone and soft tissue, the term "lymphangiomatosis" is used. However, definition of the term "lymphangiomatosis" is controversial – if it doesn't involve bone or cortical bone is preserved it will be called GLA. However, if cortical bone is lost it will be called GSD.
GSD is sometimes classified as a form of lymphangiomatosis. GSD was first described in the medical literature in 1838. In 1954, L. Whittington Gorham, MD, and colleagues reported on two affected individuals and then, a year later, provided a comprehensive review of the disorder.

Did/Does domperidone work *consistently* for you? At 30mg 3x/day?
I started taking it 3 months ago. My thread here. It worked wonderfully (or so it seems) and I went through 2 cycles without the annoying no-milk weeks. But this month for some reason it doesn't seem to work so well. I had days of making mere drops about 3 weeks ago, then my supply seemed to go back up (I upped the domp dose for 1 day and pumped and power pumped for a few days), and now starting a few days ago it went wayyyyy down again, with the same nursing frequency (8-10x/day). My period is about 10 days overdue and I've POSed twice but got a negative both times. I will keep testing (but I'm almost certain I'm NOT PG).
Because of my 21MO's personality (low milk --> less nursing --> even lower milk --> even less nursing, etc.) I feel like if I stopped trying to boost my supply she'd wean right now. I do NOT want to at this point, given that we have a lot of traveling/moving ahead and are looking to start her in nursery school towards the end of this year. Plus my goal was *at least* 2 years .
But I'm sooo tired of pumping and power pumping. Any ideas what I should do? Thanks so much.

By Marlena Hartz: CNJ staff writer
A beacon, for some base supporters, shone through in the early morning hours Thursday when BRAC Commission Chairman Anthony Principi asked if Cannon Air Force Base could house the Joint Strike Fighter, jet of the future.
The jet will initially need a sea-level training center, but Cannon, said BRAC Commissioner Lloyd Newton during Thursday's BRAC deliberations, would be an ideal location for the Joint Strike Fighter.
Some regarded the brief discussion as a positive precursor to today's Cannon vote, scheduled for early morning, said BRAC Deputy Director of Communications Robert McCreary.
"It clearly shows this commission is concerned that the closure of Cannon is wrong. (Principi's) questioning why — why Cannon was not considered for other missions — it shows us that the commission is considering the value of Cannon," said Washington Committee member Randy Harris, in Virginia at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City hotel for deliberations.
Harris said that although the Commission intended to cast their Cannon votes on Thursday, too many Joint Cross Service considerations delayed their plans.
If the Joint Strike Fighter, or F-35, does make its way to Cannon, delivery of the jet wouldn't be likely until 2009, according to John Kent, spokesperson for Lockheed Martin, government contracted F-35 designer and producer. Only by 2012 will the company have produced enough aircraft and supply equipment to go into battle, Kent said.
"The program is going along well — we are on schedule. The very first test airplane is on the assembly line now," Kent said. Low rate production of the F-35 will begin next year, he said.
Lockheed developed four different versions of the plane, each version equipped with interchangeable parts, and some features molded to Navy, Army, Marines and Air Force needs. The cost of the plane, depending on the version needed, can run from $45 to $60 million, Kent said.
"It will be the world's first stealth, multi-role fighter," Kent said. The key word in that phrase, he added, is stealth.
"It is very difficult for radar to detect the plane's presence," Kent said, due to the "way the outside of the airplane is shaped." The F-35 is set to replace the military's aging F-16s, designed in the 70s, and fly in conjunction with F-22s.
However, GlobalSecurity.org reports that the DoD recently slimmed down its F-35 purchase by thousands. The JSF could meet with myriad challenges in "bed down" communities, according to the Web site. The aircraft produces a large amount of thrust, the Web site said, polluting air quality and creating quite a racket.

Why so early?
Will the real Fausto Carmona please take 1 step forward?
A nice 2-0 lead and I was feeling all warm inside….but good ol' Robo Hernandez.
Perhaps the Braves told the Phillies to show up at the more common time of 1:10 PM. After dropping two to the cellar-dwellers, the Braves could be trying to steal one via a no-show forfeit.
Or maybe they're trying to escape Atlanta.They've been stinking up the town (9 losses in the last 14) and probably want to get a head start on their 11-game road trip.
I'm shocked SHOCKED that a guy that's a career 26 games under .500 and ERA close to 5 is terrible. Maybe the name change fooled Ruin into thinking he was someone else? Not sure who I dread more taking the mound…him or Buchanon.
You can think that about Hernandez if you want, but I'll tell you what. I have no idea where Marquis is in his training, but if he's far enough along, I'm bringing him up to pitch Thursday night despite his must be similar career ERA.
Lemme rephrase to confirm my rumored sanity. I'd SERIOUSLY think about it. Hell if I care if it seems panicky. Parcells once started 78 year old Vinnie Testaverde the end of the year because he gave his team the best chance to win. Same thing with Marquis. Maybe Buchanan will surprise us.
Assuming Testaverde will need time to refine his slider, what's Phil Niekro up to these days?
Ken are you doing blow again. MARQUIS!! If they do that they might as well bring Camp up to close, Christ sake!!
Tuned in the game late and was amazed to see the Phils WINNING 8-4. Now at 9-5 and still in disbelief. Ryan Howard going 3-0 with a walk? Who are these guys and what have they done with the Phillies???
Wow the offense has showed up today so far…
To anyone that is watching, how does Cesar Hernandez look at shortstop today??
Don't post much work schedule forces me to DVR games and watch at. 3 am. I was just wondering why AFW switched his anger to RAJ from Ryan. Oh yea because he is pkaying well especially this series. Nice to see them to continue to hit after losing the lead in the first. And maybe. Chase should take a day off more often. Now no walks from the pen. Go Phils
Woo hoo! Double digits!!
Marlon Byrd That was a pretty bad signing by RAJ this off season. Above average D 11 HR 43 RBIs.
The concern with a signing like Byrd is always the back end of the deal. Raul Ibanez was a local folk hero his first year with the Phillies. By year three, he was statistically one of the worst players in baseball. And yes, playing in an outfield with Brown & Revere makes Byrd look like Roberto Clemente by comparison.
Following Delmon also magnifies the effect.
Being among the more vociferous critics of the Byrd signing, I've been proven wrong on a few counts. As it turns out, he really was an inexpensive alternative to the high-priced outfielders peddling themselves in FA – an inexpensive alternative but not on the cheap as I feared.
Additionally, aside from his markedly improved performance over Delmon Young, Byrd seems to be a polar opposite in personality; a fun guy who seems to lighten the load for others (especially when he's carrying Revere in from CF on his back).
Yeah, there are the strikeouts, but what Marlon does for the team between strikeouts ain't shabby.
I think your conclusion on the signing's pretty good, but I guess at the risk of sounding like I'm looking for something to be critical of, it'd be 2 things.
One, Ruben maybe jumped the gun on the signing, grabbing him EARLY. I might be wrong, but I think the price would have gone down. The length is okay, Byrd was gonna get 2 years, but the amount maybe a little high. Although 8 mil for a regular OF is cheap. But it was a massive increase over last year.
Secondly, again, maybe being a little picky, he, by memory, has had some of his more productive offensive games on days like today, so there's a little padding making the numbers look good on the whole, but it's a little more to it.
But he's really done a very good job on the whole.
Wow! Phils sweep Braves!!! Who'da thunk it???
Don't mean to brag but I thunk it.
I wrote here last week that the Phils would sweep the Braves and then sweep the Cards… then come home and undo everything they gained.
I'll vouch for him not bragging. Had the Braves took the series, I have no doubt he'd have reminded folks he predicted the Phils would sweep.
But if that scenario does happen, and no pattern of up and down is beyond this club, I am gonna be SO pissed. And I don't even care about this stuff that much. Heaven forbid they pull that nonsense.
"Had the Braves took the series, I have no doubt he'd have reminded folks he predicted the Phils would sweep."
Sure. That's right.
Uh huh.
(fat chance)
But who know, Ken? If they do manage to prove me a supreme seer by going on to sweep the Cards, maybe they'll start playing baseball like they did when they believed they could come back and win any game in which they found themselves behind.
The Giants sure looked like a doomed and mediocre challenge to the Dodgers around this time in 1951. In fact, Robby shut out the Giants on August 11th, dropping Bobby and the boys 13-1/2 games behind Dem Bums. And as we all remember, Chico Ruiz stole home and… never mind – wrong year.
"The Giants sure looked like a doomed and mediocre challenge to the Dodgers around this time in 1951."
correct, they were 5 games back, and 7 over .500 on this date of that year. Webster's saw that, and reworked it's definition of hopeless the next day in revised print editions..
Now what did look hopeless, was 100 years ago today when the nee Boston Braves dropped 10 under .500, and 10 games back before their eventual WS sweep.
The Boston Braves 100 years ago, huh?
Well I'm not as old as you so I'll have to take your word for it…
Okay, that's a lie.
Re: "Hopeless." A different style of hopeless perhaps than expecting an under .500 team to take off. Whether your 7 games over or under .500 and can't catch the division leader you're in the same fix. But "Frustrated" may be a better word than "hopeless" for the Giants in the first half of the '51 season. The Dodgers just kept rolling into August before they finally rolled over and it was the Giants turn to become invincible. That August and September must have been the darkest of months in Flatbush.
When you referenced the NYG being in trouble on this date, it perked my curiosity because the 13.5 in August is as well remembered as any baseball number. That was why I looked it up. But the funny thing is, the Giants had good monthly splits in both June and July, so the Dodgers must have really been good to take the 5 game lead up to 13.
Baseball coverage far less as it was in 1914, I'm sure one could figure out if the 1st half Braves underachieved, or were a complete miracle, but I recall doing some reading up on em a couple years back, and that was 1 good club. Like in retrospect, the Mets '69 run wasn't quite as big a deal as it seemed because the pitching was there.
Phils remain what they are, but the Braves, for all their troubles still could have beat the Phils, like the Mets did, like the Cubs did. It's not like Atlanta is worse than either of those 2. Nice to get a little relief at least.
SWEEP the Braves. Good series. One other good thing going to St Louis where Ryan hits the ball well. Bad thing is they are going to need 5-10 runs to win the first game.
And my point on the Byrd signing was people bash RAJ a lot. And the need for a RF was filled pretty nicely and. 8 million per two years is pretty cheap for a potential 20/90 guy who can play a little D.
Especially a good sweep while letting some guys rest. Just hope the Neives injury is not serious. GO PHIL and let's see a 4 game sweep of the Cards
Almost a really nice sidebar story in today's ballgame. D Brown up, loaded, inning 4 batting for someone in the DN Homerun Payoff for the bases loaded prize of 10 grand. 3-0 count, Brown flied out to shallow center. That 3-0 count was definitely a hitter's count, but I wish he'd made contact on a 3-1. 3-0 maybe can get the hiter overanxious. 3-1, you almost always swing all day long. Woulda been a nice prize.
But I'd say enough prizes were collected over the last 3 games.
Grady Sizemore is now a free agent… Might be worth a look
Now Sizemore would pique my interest.
Before his knee issues virtually wiped out the last few seasons he was a pretty decent ballplayer. Shades of Utley, but like Utley, maybe he has a comeback in him.
If Sizemore is ambulatory enough to play in the outfield. I'd consider offering him a modest contract with incentives – or at the minimum a minor league contract with incentives on the gamble he can return to being the old 25-HR,100 RBI Grady Sizemore. In that case, he would give us a younger and left-hand version of Byrd in CF. Just don't know whether he has the leg(s) left but he's only 31 and has that working for him.

Dear Friends,
I have been so eager to write to all of you, but my schedule has been so full that its just been too difficult. I have also been phoneless for a week, because someone stole my new phone. If you have been trying to call me, please know that I haven't been ignoring you, I just don't have my phone. Let me share a few updates with you and a spiritual message.
- I would like to say again, my phone was stolen. I will still have the same number, but my stolen phone hasn't been "turned off" yet because we were trying to locate it before replacing it. If you've tried to contact me, and either found that the call wasn't going through or that I haven't returned your call or answered, no fears I just haven't had a phone. I should be getting one in the next few days… until then you may contact me via email. (Please send me an email if you've tried to contact me and weren't able to).
- I have mentioned before and it bears repeating, I will be Leaving for London, UK on June 21st, and I will be gone for 10 weeks. In that time I will still be doing readings for those of you here in the US, but it will take a little more strategic planning. I will be doing my readings either as emails or through a skype session. If you are unfamiliar with skype, it is a free, online program that allows you to create an account so that you may video chat with anyone, anywhere… as long as you have a camera, computer and an account. It would be best to email me from June 21st-September 1st to set up appointments, etc.
- I will be offering a 10% discount on all half hour phone readings until the 17th of June, so feel free to set up a session.
- My schedule shall be freeing up for the next few weeks, which will allow me to take on more readings. You may set up in-person or phone sessions, either half hour or hour long readings. Call or email for availability and I will work you in. (I want to take care of as many sessions as I can before I leave for London).
- Remember that Psychic Saturday is June 11th (the second Saturday of every month) and there will be 5 15-minute sessions available for $15 each. First come fist serve, this is the perfect opportunity to get those 2 or 3 burning questions answered in between full sessions.
- September 17th I would like to have another Gypsy Tea Party for those of you who would like to learn about tealeaf reading. The Gypsy Tea Party will be held during High Tea at a tearoom, in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. It will be an intimate group setting, filled with learning, readings and fun. If interested let me know… more details to come.
- I will be blogging more in the next few weeks and on through the summer. Lots of fun stuff to read there… feel free to check it out and share it with friends. shaheenmiroinsights.wordpress.com
I cannot wait to hear from all of you. Wishing you a happy June… hope the summer is treating you well.
Spiritual Message:
Stop telling yourself that there is no time for dreaming. I want you to remember that there is always something beautiful to be found, no matter how dark and dismal things may seem. You have to know that dreams can come alive in the dark.
If you have been working toward a goal or dreaming up some huge, crazy dream, then get ready because dreams are about to come true. The one thing I want you to remember is that it is your right to have everything you want…. All the things that build you up, that make you feel whole, spiritual and vibrant are meant to be yours. Do not deny yourself of that.
Happiness is no longer somewhere in the distance. Respect your path and spirit and honor the wisdom that lives inside of you. When you embrace the inner callings of your soul, you open a treasure trove of possibilities. What has been on your mind will now come into you life… so stop the worries! Bring only goodness in.
Rejoice in the present reality, as possibilities are in the works of becoming real. Keep calling to your dreams and they will float softly to you. Now is the time and you have all the magic in the universe at your fingertips.
Affirm: "I can dream my biggest dreams, and I have the right to attain everyone of them. Each day I wake a new dream is made reality…. And I am grateful for it!"
Much Love,

What about compassion?February 01,2014
In a Jan. 31 letter, John Anderson asserts that my wifes thoughts about bad things happening to the petty criminals rises to a level where she should be put in a violent offenders program. There is nothing petty about committing multiple armed robberies and terrorizing cashiers. Pam made no threats as Anderson asserts but expressed that this kind of violent crime should be a capital offense. The perpetrator knew it was wrong, making a conscious decision to commit violence anyway. He should forfeit any further consideration.
Anderson shifts blame for the robbery to us, stating that we should not have that kind of cash in the drawer. In fact, the robber did not get enough cash to exceed our insurance deductible. Anderson implies the insurance company paying makes the crime less atrocious. The violation is not about cash. Our concern is for the trauma to our cashiers. Enhanced security will cost about $8,000 every year to have a second person at the checkout, because having two other employees in the store is not enough to deter the robbers. Now our cashiers must move in pairs.
Mr. Anderson, what if someone invaded your home, forced a member of your household to turn over valuables, and made them lie on the floor, wondering if they were going to get shot? If the robber only got $50 worth of stuff, would that be a petty offense? And of course, you would not have any thoughts about dire punishment for the criminals.
My wife expressing that there should be consequences, including the death penalty, for completely amoral behavior, is a perfectly valid response to this crime. Anderson should try compassion for the crime victims instead of publicly criticizing the anger expressed by those victims at the violation.
