Please let me know if you find a way, try it and it works for you. I haven't really tried any thing because it seems to me that it would be hard to sleep on the floor of the bakery every night and not get hungry. But I have started bringing a sippy cup of water with us and if I just can't take anymore offer water instead or water at the end of a feeding to get him off me.
I would be very interested in hearing about how this method actually works for people.
Way too lazy for formula
Shelly it has worked for us - the Dr. Jay Gordon method (my modified version of it anyway). I didn't play it hard and fast with the timelines. I just followed her cues. But was now (for the most part) go to bed at 8:30 or 9pm the last nursing's at 9 and resume at 4:30am, with the last nursing happening at 5:45am or so before I get up at 6 to get ready for work.
I started the process when she was 17/18mos or so. Even if she starts out in her room and comes in as usual, she goes back to sleep without nursing. She still wakes up once but usually a snuggle will put her back to sleep.
The sippy of water worked but it was heartbreaking in the beginning...she would fall asleep clutching it, and basically pinned to my side.. That lasted 3 nights and that was that. HTH.

My body creates, houses, nurtures and nourishes life. That is awesome.
Kegel Kop says: TIGHTEN UP!
It worked for me, I totally weaned and we still co-sleep. We just cuddle close now. Here is what I did..I copied it from another post I did. The Dr J gordon method is good, we tried it before and it almost worked, them I had to work a lot, and my supply dropped, so I started night nursing again to keep up my supply. Anyway....
As for my method, I think it was more that my lo was ready. My lo has so many food allergies, that the thought of her having one more and me doing without the only thing left she wasnt' allergic to was hard. So, I took a week off work to spend with her, and work on weaning. That way she knew I still loved her.
Day 1- Nursed first thing in morning. Then, I started by cutting out all daytime feedings (she still nursed to sleep for her 2 naps a day) Yes, it made naps few and far in-between, but I knew it had to be done. Thus she only takes one nap a day now - I get her to sleep by rubbing her ears- she really likes it and it relaxes her. You just have to get them still and quite and find something that relaxes them for naps and bedtime. I nursed her to sleep that night and only once during the night (she was a big night time nurser- every 3 hours still).
Day 2- No daytime or morning nursing until bedtime again. This night, I didn't let her nurse anymore until morning. I just cuddled/ kissed her. She didn't put up too much fight.
Day 3- No nursing in moring or all day. Nursed for 10 minutes that night, but made sure she went to sleep without the breast in her mouth.
Day 4- No nursing at all....at bedtime, she whinned for about 5 minutes and them fell asleep without the breast...for the first night ever in her life. I was going to wait 10 minutes and then let her have it, but she didnt need it.
We havent nursed since. She hasn't even really asked. I keep a bra on when we bathe just to remind her. It went so fast and easy. I had tried night weaning before and it didnt work, but I guess she was just ready this time. I hope this helps some of you.

The Seven Standards of ecological breastfeeding: (1) exclusive breasfeeding for the first 6 months (2) pacify baby at your breast (3) don't use bottles and pacifiers (4) co-sleep for night feedings (5) take a nursing nap (6) nurse frequently day and night; avoiding schedules (7) avoid practices that restrict nursing or separates you from your baby. The average return of menstruation for ecological breastfeeding mothers is between 14 and 15 months.

"Do more than belong, participate. Do more than care, help.
Do more than believe, practice. Do more than be fair, be kind.
Do more than dream, work!."
I was trying to night wean and end co-sleeping at the same time. That didn't last more than a night. Then we tried keeping the night nursings while keeping her in her crib. That didn't work either. Neither of us were getting any sleep. So this past week I tried night weaning her while we still co-slept. That finally did the trick. She still nursed before bed, but when she woke up for her regular 2am feeding, I gave her water instead. Told her no booboo (her word for nursing), gave her a hug and kiss and just turned my back. She did cry and fuss for a little while, but then she just cuddled close to me and fell back asleep. She was up again at four and we repeated the process. After three nights of doing the same thing, she finally slept through the night without nursing. I was able to get seven straight hours of sleep, the longest sleep ever since two years ago. Last night she did ask to nurse again around 2am, but she didn't fuss very much and quickly went back to sleep. I think giving her the water helps, because most times she is just a little thirsty.
HTH. Good Luck!
I believe that it is all up to each individual childs needs but that it is also a learned response. When I added a mattress next to my bed it slowed down the nursing at night and she started sleeping the night but not consistantly. The distance between us limited the automatic response from Me and her to nurse back to sleep during night wakings. I am a single Mom so I don't have the option for her to sleep next to someone else. Maybe rearranging where the baby sleeps in the bed will help.
I ended up moving her mattress into her own room which she loved but she still woke most nights and I would go in there and say no nursing until the sun came up. Well my daughter has a very strong will and would wait up at night for hours waiting for Mr. Sunshine to come up, so she could nurse again. This went on for months and months! The only way for me to wean her at night without a fuss came recently when I had to tell her she couldn't come in my bed anymore at night and I wasn't going to hers. Now she sleeps the night maybe 7 out of 10 days and if she wakes she can quietly come in my room and lay on the mattress I have prepared for on the floor next to my bed.
It's totally possible! For us, it worked that she was old enough (around 2 I think; it's funny how one forgets these things..) to understand something about the concept of time. I explained to her, many times, I'm going to nurse you when the sun comes up, but I'm not going to nurse you when its dark. And I repeated the idea when she woke in the night. I'd pat her, hold her, offer water if she wanted a drink, but not nurse. Tried it at least twice; first time, when she was maybe around 18 months, it didn't work; then tried again a few months later, and it was relatively easy; a few rough nights, and then she got used to the new regime. We're still co-sleeping (she's 3 and a half now); she still nurses in the morning, but sleeps through the night; it's been that way for ages now. So, go for it; it's possible!

- Title
- From individual to social foresight
- Author(s)
- Hayward, Peter
- Abstract
- To this point in time humanity has successfully responded to the challenges to its existence. A viewpoint becoming widespread is that humanity will have to respond to even greater challenges to its existence in the future. If adequate responses are not formulated to these emerging challenges then a dystopian future for humanity is a strong possibility. While experience can teach us how to act in the future it is the express intent of this research that we should not have to experience dystopia in order to learn how to prevent it. The innate human capacity for foresight has played a pivotal role in responding to past challenges, however, a more extensive form of foresight will need to be developed to respond to these future challenges. That form of foresight will need to be both individual and social in nature. Part I of this thesis generates an original theory of how foresight could develop in individuals beyond our innate capacities. The theory argues that foresight capacities develop through the expansion of individual consciousness, particularly the individual's sense of 'self'. The theory is synthesised from the work of a num- ber of psychological researchers including Jean Piaget, Jane Loevinger, Lawrence Kohlberg, Clare Graves, Susan Cook-Greuter and Ken Wilber. Part II is a two year study of students undertaking a postgraduate course in strategic foresight. The study is utilised to add preliminary empirical support to the theory proposed in Part I. Part III integrates the previous two parts to further elaborate the attributes and dynamics of individual foresight development before describing how social foresight capacity can emerge from individual development. Expanded individual and social foresight capacities are achievable, but cannot be assumed. The contribution of this thesis is to give a theoretical base to such development and to outline further research. The development of individual foresight and the emergence of social expressions of foresight can offer preferable, and not dystopian, futures for both current and future generations.

If it's cut off carefully, without harming the sensitive base, it will re-grow in a few years. Some biologists don't like this approach — a rhino's horn is, after all, its means of defense — and poachers will sometimes kill a rhino for the short stump of horn that remains. But many owners claim it's been effective in deterring the triggermen. Others douse horns in unsightly, brightly-colored pesticide.

Some say the recent rush for rhino horn emanates from Vietnam, where, a few years ago, rumors circulated that a prominent politician had been cured of cancer by consuming it. Many Vietnamese researchers and journalists say that sprinkling powdered rhino horn on food, snorting it like cocaine or using it as a hangover remedy has become fashionable way of showing status among the nouveaux riches. Staff at the Vietnamese Embassy in Pretoria have been found in possession of horn and even filmed buying it by a South African TV crew in 2008.

Besides, the fact Swinton Lions has since spent a full season playing home matches at the Willows indicates relations are nowadays much more cordial (within limits, naturally(!) - but that's rivalry).

It was interesting to hear on the terraces yesterday that the money collected by the 'forever reds' group of supporters will not be turning it over to the John Wilkinson regime, rather straight to the new management committee, as they don't have much faith in JW using it in the right way!
The fighting fund was not set up by Forever Reds (whose main driving force lives in Swinton) and not managed by anyone that works directly for Salford City Reds RLFC. One of the people that set it up is Steve McCormick who is involved at Folly Lane ARLFC.
Quite why the people that set up the fund didn't want to use the Forever Reds route I don't quite understand, but they are obviously wary that openness is important to avoid people being deterred from donating due to suspicions that funds might go the same way as the £500k Bradford supporters raised in similar circumstances which didn't stave off administration but still "disappeared". In situations like this people are understandably more interested in keeping the club going than they are in covering historic debt.
Anything they are likely to raise will be a drop in the ocean compared to what's really needed to get Salford out of the predicament though, in truth.
A potential White Knight is appearing over the horizon in the shape of Marwan Koukash. Just don't have a home game when there's racing on at Haydock or Chester.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 10:24 AM
On the matter of their White knight, am I being cynical in thinking there is a grander picture here.
Peel holdings have been desperate to build a race course and now all of a sudden they are back in discussions with a multimillion pound horse owner and involving the council....just a coincidence surely.

A time display with attractive geometric lines, a custom made dark sandalwood case, finished with a beautifully textured leather strap - the limited edition Kisai Polygon Wood from Tokyoflash Japan.
Polygon Wood includes time, date, alarm, EL backlighting and a custom animation. Choose either a mirror display with gold accented bezel or blue display with silver accented bezel.
Easy to Read at a Glance, When You Know How
The angled display shows the time much like a conventional clock. Take a look at the example to the right.
Twelve polygons around the outside of the display show hours, in the same position as hours on a clock.
Six larger triangles inside act as the minute hand, pointing to 00, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 minutes past the hour. Single minutes are displayed by a hexagonal digit in the centre of the display. Easy once you know how.
The date is shown in the same way with the month in the hour position and date in the minute positions. The date can be shown by pressing the lower button.
A Light, Compact Wrist Watch Design for Men or Women
Carefully crafted from 100% natural wood in very limited quantities, the watch features a dark leather strap with a lizard skin effect.
Kisai Polygon Wood is a small, light watch design that is comfortable to wear for both men and women with small or large wrists.
Time, Date, Alarm, Animation & EL Backlighting
As well as time and date, Kisai Polygon Wood has an alarm and EL backlighting, so you can easily view the time at night.
The watch also has a custom designed animation which causes the polygons to spin and the digits to do a five second count down every fifteen minutes, a function which can be turned on or off. See the video demo above to see this in action.
Like all wood watches from Tokyoflash Japan, a clear coating has been applied to Kisai Polygon Wood for protection.
Due to the natural qualities of wood, the color and grain may be slightly darker or lighter than shown in the photos.
Each part of Kisai Polygon Wood has been individually designed and manufactured, including the case, leather strap and uniquely programmed display.
Kisai Polygon Wood uses a standard CR2025 watch battery which will last at least 12 months and can easily be replaced.

The Board of Wayne/Susquehanna R.E.S.C.U.E. believes that the Delaware River Basin Commission's (DRBC) mandate is to protect the integrity of the water supplies in the Delaware River Basin.
Our contention is that in carrying out this mandate, the DRBC should adhere to the precautionary principle, which states that if an action or policy has a suspected risk of causing harm to the public or to the environment, the burden of proof that it is not harmful falls on those taking the action. The evidence that we have reviewed strongly suggests that the gas drilling industry in Pennsylvania has not only failed to meet this burden of proof but has, in fact, demonstrated that water contamination issues related to gas drilling are a very real and significant concern.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) documentation has revealed that the wastewater produced by hydro-fracturing contains radioactivity and other toxic materials at levels that are higher than can be safely handled at wastewater treatment plants. A recent review of these EPA documents states that the available evidence "unequivocally and definitively establishes that the danger to our health and our environment from hydraulic fracturing is much greater than previously understood, that government regulations have not kept pace with the natural gas industry's expansion and that government on every level lacks the manpower to adequately police the industry."
As such, our contention is that hydrofracturing wastewater should be legally considered and treated as "hazardous waste" throughout all four states of the Delaware River Basin, and that proper disposal methods and locations should be in place for this waste prior to allowing permits for the hydro-fracturing of shale gas wells in the watershed.
As residents of Wayne and Susquehanna counties, we've needed to look no further than Dimock, PA for confirmation that the practical application of the current regulatory framework has failed to be an adequate safeguard against water contamination due to hydro-fracturing.
The DRBC's own hydro-geologist states that about 1 million gallons of wastewater is generated per well. The latest predictions are for 15,000 to 18,000 wells in our area, which would mean 15 billion to 18 billion gallons of frack water without proper treatment facilities in place.
In light of these concerns, our question is: How can the commission responsibly allow gas drilling and hydro-fracturing to go forward in the river basin without first making certain that we have the water treatment capacity necessary within the four contiguous states of the river basin to handle the wastewater?

Recent News
Crew Member Profile: Josh Wittman
May 2, 2014
Crew Member Profile: Josh Wittman
2014 marks Josh Wittman's fourth season with Richard Childress Racing, but only his first with the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet Camaro driven by Brendan Gaughan. The 35-year-old hails from Ashland, Ohio and serves as the gas man for the No. 62 team in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Wittman's racing experience can be traced back to his early childhood after growing up at the local dirt tracks. Naturally he considers Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course his home-track and looks forward to competing there on August 16 for the Nationwide Children's Hospital 200.
Five Questions with Josh Wittman:
What was your dream job growing up?
"Growing up I always wanted to be a cartoonist for Disney. I have always had an ability to draw and been pretty good at it."
If you were not in racing, what would you be doing?
"If I was not in racing I would be chasing another dream. I would probably be drawing a lot in hopes to be a cartoonist."
What is the toughest part about your job?
"Lugging a 94 pound Sunoco fuel can around can be pretty tough at times, but I wouldn't change anything about it!"
What are your goals for the 2014 season?
"My goals are to perform to the best of my ability and kick some butt in the 2014 season with Brendan (Gaughan) and the rest of the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino crew."
What is your favorite track on the circuit?
"I have two favorite tracks that we visit, Daytona and Bristol. How can you not love Daytona? Everybody loves that track, and Bristol is always just so chaotic and brings so much action, it is hard not to like it."

SELDEN - A plowed road created a flood of trouble for Selden homeowners.
Water flooded two March Court homes Wednesday morning after a neighbor says a payloader moving snow knocked over a fire hydrant, then took off.
Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Kathy Walsh, who's running for highway superintendent, says GPS can determine who hit the hydrant if it was a town truck. If it was an outside contractor, Walsh says the operator will be harder to track down.
One homeowner says he cleared snow away from the old hydrant twice, but each time, he says plows covered it back up. Neighbors believe the hydrant was covered with snow when a payload operator struck it.
The homeowners say their private insurance will not cover the damage.

The Megabass Pony Frog is a compact, bite-size offering with a unique pony tail skirt that allows it to walk-the-dog more easily than other small hollow-bodied frogs with two skirted legs. An additional ring off of the line tie helps accentuate the baits walking movement, and the Pony Frog's rear weighted design and narrow profile also help it pivot easily and assist with longer casting. Its "balloon throat" helps create additional splash and water disturbance on the surface, and the pony tail flairs out on the pause and provides added lifelike movement as you twitch it over mats and various aquatic vegetation. Available in a variety of colors, the Megabass Pony Frog comes equipped with ultra sharp Japanese-engineered hooks to make the most of every blow up.

Comments: I don't get why people have to give their opinions on lures they haven't used. This frog is amazing. The body is soft and durable, it casts very well, and walks so well..... just as good as the Slither K and that bait is $2 more than this. People only complain about price because it's made by megabass. Oh yeah, and this frog has way better hookup ratio than any koppers, spro, or booyah. I landed 16 fish out of 18 strikes yesterday.
From: Cullen: Ashburn, VA
Comments: all i got was a high price frog that sinks my will not float
From: thomas: nashville ar.
Comments: I don't think people understand that this section is for REVIEWS, not for people to state their opinion of how expensive something is. I don't know how you can review anything when all you've seen is the price. I don't know why TW approves those "reviews." For me, this is my favorite frog, there was no need to trim the tail and it walks far better than any Spro, Koppers or Paycheck frog I've used. I also think it has a far better hook up ratio of all frogs I've used. If you don't mind spending a little more for a quality frog, then this is a great buy that I highly recommend. Its no different than a Daiwa Steez Reel or Megabass Orochi Rod, you might pay more but you get better quality.
From: Slade: KS
Comments: If all you guys are going to complain about these baits is the price, your missing the boat!! Megabass baits work, nuff' said. I have koppers live target frogs, and I'll say it, I love em'. But to have another great frog bait in my arsenal doesn't hurt either!! Guys don't listen to the crap, if you can afford one, buy one I promise you'll love it just as much as your other frogs!
From: mrbond007: East Lansing, MI
Comments: Hey Big John plz keep convincing people to buy these so i can keep beating them with my $5 to $8 frogs! Oh yah dont forget to wright a review for the megabass jerkbaits Big John;)
From: Big Bill Dance: TN
Comments: Well when I seen these frogs on here, I told my self I wasnt doing a review. Didnt want to let the cat out of the bag. If you never used megabass, you cant understand where the money gos. But most likely your being out fished by someone who does. This is a small frog, like a live target, and It walks like a spook. Super soft, durable parts. super strong and sharp hooks. Do yourself a favor. Buy one, use it once, and youll be with the rest of us with the "Megabass CRAZE"

High performance is primarily a function of people and culture—not data and technology. — Mario Morino, Morino Institute Data-Informed Decision-Making More Managing to outcomes is not about simply counting things or gathering information.

But we need to be as concerned about the 15 percent who aren't succeeding and learn how we can improve for them. — Sam Cobbs, First Place for Youth High Performance More If we don't know we're making a difference then there's no reason to be doing what we're doing. We can't sleep at night if we don't understand whether we're making an impact. Bridget Laird, WINGS for Kids Courageous Leadership More One of our board members asked, 'This is so great that we're doing all these programs, that we're growing, and that we're serving all these [people], but are we making a difference?

By Helena Rodriguez: Local columnist
Diet commercials used to start in January, after people gained five pounds from holiday binging. Now they begin before the Thanksgiving turkey. Maybe they should run before Halloween. That's when sweets appear in bulk.
Halloween is like the pre-holiday kick-off, but there are no fat busters screaming over the television to just say no to tempting chunks of chocolate. Even bite-sized candy bars have gotten smaller, but the catch is more people seem to be giving them out these days, and in greater quantities. It's like those new mini-sized Cokes that say "only 100 calories." But then after you've had one, you have to have another because it's "only 100 calories."
When I was a child, it was like striking gold when you found the house on the block with the chocolate bars. Now it's every other house. I don't know that by actually trick-or-treating, but by surveying my young nieces' bags of treats these past few Halloweens. I'm just the responsible adult examining goodies for tampering, and sneaking a few Kit Kats and Reeses into my pocket for quality assurance. Adults, always inspect children's candy, and make sure you've got plenty of pockets.
Now, where was I? Oh yes, the goodies. In fact, if your kid has a good game plan (this is where your coaching skills come in), then they can score pounds of goodies in only a couple of hours. Of course, these goodies, especially the M&M's, Crunch bars, Kisses and Gummy Bears, which will be screaming out to you while your children are at school, "Eat me. Just one won't hurt. We're loaded with sugar-free sugar!"
Of course, not all Halloween candy screams out, "Eat me." Some Halloween candy, like those gooey orange and black paper wrapped, hard-as-brick cavity carvers, scream, "I dare you to just try and eat me! See what I can do to your dentures!"
When your children shop — I mean trick-or-treat, in the same places year after year, they learn where the goodies are. When I was a child, my sisters and I would first do a quick run through our block on North Avenue B in Portales. After that, Mom and Dad would load us up and we'd head to Grandma Emma's house on South Avenue B, a street full of gold mines.
First we'd visit Grandma Emma's door, and usually Grandma Madrid would greet us and give us handfuls of candy. Like my parents, Grandma Emma made candy go further by mixing in peanuts. But they were local peanuts, fresh roasted, from Borden's or Sunland's, so we always ate them. With Paul and Mark and the gang, our next stop would be next door, to Miss Maldonado's house. Miss Maldonado always gave us little bags with apples, oranges and nuts, and sometimes even homemade popcorn balls.
We didn't care much for the apples and oranges back then. We went because Miss Maldonado was Paul and Paula's "nina," but I must say I looked forward to the pecans because I'm a nut person. Grandma Emma always had pecans for Christmas, and sometimes Thanksgiving and back then, Halloween was about the only other time I had pecans to enjoy.
After Miss Maldonado's, we'd hit the road and go up and down South Avenue B, C and D, and sometimes to the other side of 18th Street. Even in the cold, we'd be out, shamelessly seeking tricks and treats from strangers who gladly dished them out. And we'd seek as late as we could. If Dad was following along in the car, we'd keep on until he said it was time to go home. Or one year, when we were on foot and Paul was leading the way, we stayed out until people started to frown and turn off their lights.

A unique vortex shaped lens, a colorful spiralling display and bright EL backlighting combine to create Kisai Uzumaki.
The sixth concept from a fan to become reality, Kisai Uzumaki features a brand new custom designed case and strap and shows the time like a conventional analog watch.
Uzumaki comes from the Japanese word for whirlpool. The colored swirls indicate the time in an analog format so that the time can be read easily at a glance; hours on the outside, minutes on the inside. The hand indicates seconds for precise timing.
Made entirely of stainless steel and available in black or silver with a blue or green display, the attention to detail in Uzumaki's construction is evident in each part of the watch. The custom curves and brushed surfaces on the case enhance the vortex theme and the EL backlight, which can be initiated by pressing the crown, illuminates the spirals for a short time creating a night-time glow.
One of Uzumaki's most attractive features is its custom made acrylic lens, designed with concentric circles that descend from the edge of the case into the centre of the watch to create the appearance of a whirlpool. The stainless steel ring that surrounds the lens appears to float above.
Kisai Uzumaki has an adjustable strap making it suitable for small and large wrists and uses standard SR626SW watch batteries which will last at least 12 months and can easily be replaced. The time can be set just like a regular watch by turning the crown.
Like all watches from Tokyoflash Japan, Kisai Uzumaki is a limited edition design which means that it is guaranteed to be an original wrist watch that not many other people own.
In February 2010, Tokyoflash Japan opened its Design Studio Blog to showcase concept designs and request ideas for new watch designs from fans. The idea for Kisai Uzumaki was submitted by Firdaus Rohman from Malaysia and was voted as one of the most popular designs by fans. This is the sixth concept submitted by a fan to become reality.
Find out more about the original concept on the Tokyoflash Design Studio Blog.
Blog reader & watch designer Firdaus Rohman says:
This is for real! Tokyoflash Japan has brought my watch design to life! I remember the moment I wrote "unleash your inner circle" for the design description a year ago - so inspiring. Twelve-months was a long wait indeed, but it feels like yesterday now.
I learnt that the development of this watch was extremely challenging. The final product had to be adjusted to meet technical requirements but a million thanks to the Team at Tokyoflash who put in so much effort to technically harmonize the watch to match as closely as possible to the original design. The result is impressive!
To the Team at Tokyoflash, people who commented and voted, websites and bloggers who featured my design, those who buy and like, everyone, I humbly thank you all for everything. Kisai Uzumaki is now a dream come true.

The Eternal Beach-Body Plan
Phase II - Week 6: Workout V
Exercise IX: Straight-Leg Hip Extension
Sets: 2 Reps: 12 Rest: 45 Seconds
Lie on your left side on a flat bench with your left shoulder off the end and your right hand on a stool or the floor for support. Keep your left leg straight. Straighten your right leg and extend it 90 degrees in front of you-then let it hang off the bench so that your foot just touches the floor [1]. Raise your right leg as high as you can without shifting your hips (your left hip bone must remain in contact with the bench) [2]. Lower it back to the starting position. That's one rep. Complete all your reps, and then switch legs and repeat.

- Abstract
- We present the analysis of the spectroscopic and photometric catalogues of 11 X-ray luminous clusters at 0.07 < z < 0.16 from the Las Campanas/Anglo-Australian Telescope Rich Cluster Survey. Our spectroscopic data set consists of over 1600 galaxy cluster members, of which two-thirds are outside r200. These spectra allow us to assign cluster membership using a detailed mass model and expand on our previous work on the cluster colour-magnitude relation (CMR) where membership was inferred statistically. We confirm that the modal colours of galaxies on the CMR become progressively bluer with increasing radius d(B-R)drp=-0.011 ± 0.003 and with decreasing local galaxy density d(B-R)dlog (Σ) =-0.062 ± 0.009. Interpreted as an age effect, we hypothesize that these trends in galaxy colour should be reflected in mean Hδ equivalent width. We confirm that passive galaxies in the cluster increase in Hδ line strength as dHδdrp= 0.35 ± 0.06. Therefore, those galaxies in the cluster outskirts may have younger luminosity-weighted stellar populations; up to 3 Gyr younger than those in the cluster centre assuming d(B-R)dt= 0.03 mag per Gyr. A variation of star formation rate, as measured by O iiλ3727 , with increasing local density of the environment is discernible and is shown to be in broad agreement with previous studies from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We divide our spectra into a variety of types based upon the MORPHs classification scheme. We find that clusters at z∼ 0.1 are less active than their higher-redshift analogues: about 60 per cent of the cluster galaxy population is non-star forming, with a further 20 per cent in the post-starburst class and 20 per cent in the currently active class, demonstrating that evolution is visible within the past 2-3 Gyr. We also investigate unusual populations of blue and very red non-star forming galaxies and we suggest that the former are likely to be the progenitors of galaxies which will lie on the CMR, while the colours of the latter possibly reflect dust reddening. We show that the cluster galaxies at large radii consist of both backsplash ones and those that are infalling to the cluster for the first time. We make a comparison to the field population at z∼ 0.1 and examine the broad differences between the two populations. Individually, the clusters show significant variation in their galaxy populations which we suggest reflects their recent infall histories.

Propellantless Space Drive Called "EmDrive" Made in China

(Source: emdrive.com)
It's a a propellantless microwave thruster that defies Newton's laws of motion
Chinese scientists have taken on a heavily criticized space drive idea that could one day launch satellites, deep space probes and even flying cars.
The research team hails from Northwestern Polytechnic University in Xi'an, and was led by Yang Juan. What they developed was a propellantless microwave thruster called EmDrive, which is a controversial idea because it goes against Newton's laws of motion -- and many have claimed to create a "propellantless" thruster before and failed.
Newton's laws of motion are all based on the idea that firing propellant out of the back at a high speed will push a craft forward. While
solar cells offer infinite power
, thrust is limited by propellant. Many have tried to get around this, but several scams have made this particular field a joke in the scientific world.
While space drives tend to rely on Newton's laws of motion, the EmDrive is a closed, conical container that has a net thrust toward the wide end when filled with resonating microwaves. This goes against Newton, who said that no closed system could have a net thrust. However, EmDrive works because the microwaves have a group velocity (the speed of a collection of electromagnetic waves) that is greater in one direction than the other -- which is where Albert Einstein's theory of relativity comes in.
British engineer Robert Shaywer, who began looking at the concept of a propellantless thruster when he opened his own company called Satellite Propulsion Research in 2001, is the original creator of the EmDrive. He made demonstration thrusters to prove it could be done, and even made sure the test results were accurate (meaning, the results weren't affected by friction, ionization, air currents, electromagnetic effects or interference). The first, made in 2003, had a thrust of 16 mN. This was enough to show it could be done.
However, he received a ton of criticism for his idea and was ridiculed in his own country. But the Chinese team at Northwestern Polytechnic University believed in his research and took the project head on to author the latest study, "Net Thrust Measurement of Propellantless Microwave Thruster."
The Northwestern Polytechnic University team was able to create the EmDrive with 720 mN of thrust with a couple of kilowatts of power.
So what purpose does EmDrive have? It could halve launch costs of satellites because as much as half
the launch weight
of these objects are attributed to propellant.
Shawyer is even working on a superconducting thruster that could be ready as soon as 2016. It would boost the Q value of the cavity, which determines the amount of thrust produced. He said it could be boosted by a factor of several thousand, possibly equating to a tonne of thrust per kilowatt of power.
"Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job." -- Andy Marken

To Taser Or Not To Taser
Shakespeare would have loved this dilemma. After last night's on-field incident at the Phillies – Cardinals game, the use of a Taser Gun on unruly fans is being questioned. Steve Consalvi, 17, is a senior at Boyertown High who made a very bad decision. He jumped onto the field in the middle of the game and ran around while waving a towel. Here is the video:
The prank was pre-meditated as Consalvi consulted both friends and family members before committing the act. In other words, he knew exactly what he was doing and therefore should have been prepared for the consequences.
And while those consequences may not previously have involved taser guns, my feeling is, if you play with fire, you are going to get burned. Many people around the Philly area are whining about excessive force. Get over it. Whether the person is 17 or 45 years old should not make a difference. How were they supposed to know his age anyway? The officer and Phillies staff had no way of knowing this person's age or intentions and as such, he was a threat to the players and everyone involved.
If that were my very own teenage child who did that, I'd still vote to taser him. Then again, my child would never act this way; he has been raised properly. As both a parent and a high school teacher, I can tell you that the major problem with kids these days is a lack of discipline and/or total parental disinterest. Hopefully, this will be an important lesson learned for Mr Consalvi.
And maybe now people will think twice before attempting to make total fools out of themselves in Citizens Bank Park. Heck, if they vote to give tasers to the ushers too in order to control all the drunk idiots who are making descent fans lives miserable, I am all for that as well. It is time to grow a pair and stop babying America's idiots! If we all considered the consequences of our actions before doing something stupid, the world would be a much more peaceful place, even with the taser guns.
You do not have to agree with me, of course. But watch your back; I have an entire arsenal of witty words directly at my disposal and I am not afraid to use them ;o)

You brought back flashback moments from the video of the University of Florida's infamous "Don't Tase Me Bro!" episode.
Fans really need to be educated that the minute you step onto the fiel or across those white lines you become not a "Philly" problem, but an MLB problem. The moment you step onto the "offcial" outfield or infield space you are suject to MLB deciding your fate.
Using a taser is not a new thing by law enforcement or even security, but there has to be a level of threat that implores that action.
Best thing to do is not even attempt it and save that over $ 1,500 and some special time in a cell you will get slapped with if you venture beyond the walls.
Hopefully someone within the MLB media world will write an article telling thefans what truly could happen to them if they step " into the field of play."
Rays Renegade
Cliff – I agree; they really need to lay down the law. I am curious to see what decision comes after this.
Julia – The problem with not wanting to use these guns on the average idiot is that the officer has NO way to know who is just an idiot and who is a psycho with intent to harm. I have family in law enforcement too and I know that they are told to use whatever force is necessary to avoid harm to themselves or others. If one of the players ever gets hurt in this situation, people are going to be screaming for the tasers.
The problem Jenn is we now have too many members of our police force who no longer use the skills they have learned and instead they resort to using the Taser Gun quickly on people. Be they elementary school aged special needs children or the elderly. What happens when they are used on a person in a diabetic "shock" who isn't complying – because they can't – and they die? And for the record I do have family members who are in law enforcement. There is a time and a place for Taser Guns – not sure using on a idiot running on a ball field is the right place. And having good parents is no guarantee that someone won't do something stupid. As my Nana always told me – "Perfect people live in Heaven. The rest of us do the best we can."
That cop totally did the right thing. That guy was just an idiot on the field. What happens when the next crazed person goes onto a field of play and plunges a knife into the back of a player and ends his career ala Monica Seles? If people are chastising that cop for DOING HIS JOB then I think they are missing the potential for disaster that exists out there.
I kinda agree with Werbiefitz…., BUT, Jenn I like your take too. I do not disagree. On another day I would probably have gone nuts on this one, but I'm just not feeling it right now. I was just glad I could be entertained by your post today. I have a 19 yr old boy. I hear you loud and clear. But policing skills are at an all time low too….part of a national no tolerance campaign on all levels. It's what they're being told to do that bothers me. yea…conspiracy nonsense on my part.
What the hell was the father thinking when he gave the OK?!
I say he could have been in parts of Europe where they would have shot him with rubber bullets… then he could complain…

LOL! Peter. you're right. I've seen it. hilarious!

Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye was hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to regulate his oxygen intake, according to his office and ABC News.
"For the most part, I am OK," Sen. Inouye says in a statement. "However, I am currently working with my doctors to regulate my oxygen intake. Much to my frustration, while undergoing this process, I have to remain in the hospital for my own safety and to allow the necessary observation."
Sen. Inouye, 88, was taken to the George Washington University Hospital where he remained through Sunday. He was transferred to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, just outside Washington, D.C.
The senator says he hopes to be back on Capitol Hill as soon as doctors will allow. Recently, he was seen using oxygen on the floor of the Senate and has been spotted also using a wheelchair at times.
Sen. Inouye was misdiagnosed with lung cancer and a had a portion of his lung removed, according to his office. After living with this, his office says about nine months ago his doctors recommended using an oxygen supplement.
The senator also uses a wheelchair to preserve his knees, at the advice of his doctors.
"After 50 years of walking the marble floors of the Capitol complex, the marble has taken its toll and he has been advised to avoid long walks on hard surfaces," a spokesperson says.
In November, the senator was taken to Walter Reed after a fall in his apartment and was treated for a minor cut to the back of his head.
Fellow Hawaii Senator Daniel Akaka put out a statement: "I wish my friend, colleague, and brother Dan Inouye a speedy recovery and look forward to his return to the Senate."
Gov. Neil Abercrombie also released this statement: "We are in close touch with Sen. Inouye and his office. He is alert, feisty and ready to get back to work as soon as possible."
Congresswoman-elect Tulsi Gabbard sent her well-wishes: "I join all of Hawaii in wishing Senator Inouye a full and speedy recovery. He is in the best of hands at Walter Reed, and I am confident that he will have a quick return to the U.S. Capitol. I look forward to his continued leadership, as we take on the many challenges facing Hawaii and our nation. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his ohana."

Connecting the dotsNovember 01,2013
Connecting the dots
The recent events at Montpelier City Hall transcend town boundaries. Issues such as freedom of speech, real or perceived conflict of interests among public officials, ignoring open meeting laws, and disregarding state law and public policy are serious, and reflect on all Vermonters. The City Councils letter, which was not authorized at a public meeting, claims that the mayors and city managers ethics are above reproach, and that they work to avoid any hint of influence other than the best interests of the city.
I have some simple questions for the City Council. Consider this sequence of events:
The mayor is a lobbyist for large private banks. There is a memo from the CEO of VHFA, a quasi-state agency reliant on the good graces of the big banks, to the Mayor and several other people alerting them about the advocacy work of an organization Gwen is part of as a private citizen which is calling for town meetings to consider the benefits of a public bank in Vermont.
After receiving the note from the VHFA, the mayor wrote to the city manager, saying that, this cant continue, and telling him that he saw no point in even meeting with Gwen to discuss it. Then the city manager wrote a memo to the city planning director, telling her: You will refrain from involvement in external political issues such as public banking which may impact your effectiveness as a city official. Thats a pretty clear directive; she violates it by risking her livelihood through insubordination.
He later changed the directive when Gwen reminded him that the First Amendment protects her activities as a private citizen, and offered to issue clear disclaimers to make it clear she wasnt speaking on behalf of city government. But his new directive was still beyond the boundaries of what he can ask her to do, saying you will actively be clear that you are not representing or speaking for the city government or as a city official in any way. In such appearances, you will not engage in discussions about city matters even if asked in order to reduce confusion about your roles.
Gwen is free to discuss city matters (like conflicts of interest in the city leadership, for example, which wouldnt have come to light without her speaking up) as a private citizen. Was this additional effort by the manager trying to silence her from speaking out on the corruption there is no better word for it in city government?
Unfortunately this battle is being waged in the press. This is happening because city council has not given Gwen or the public a chance to discuss the City Councils official opinions on the subject at an open meeting. (In fact, most public employees are allowed an executive session that would protect their reputation while the facts are aired).
So in addition to condoning the private influence at work with the mayors directive a clear ethical violation the City Council has also violated the open meeting law in their letter that was sent to news media around the state. This action is clearly designed to destroy the reputation of a hardworking public employee who has upheld the policies of the city even when it has been quite hard to do so in an increasingly corrupt environment.
Where are the watchdogs for this sort of thing? What recourse does she have, when everyone above her seems intent on violating her civil rights and her rights as a public employee? And, please, explain what a hint of corruption would look like.

Same with Pipe/Copy and any value for Buffer Size.
What is the best way method and setting to use to duplicate data from MS SQL to PostGreSQL. My intention is to duplicate the data for development work but then to used Linked Server Replication once in production.

Forensic scientists study the details of a crime and report their findings to a court of law. To do this, forensic scientists perform physical and chemical analyses on criminal evidence submitted by the police or other law enforcement agencies. The physical evidence may be found at the scene of a crime, on a victim, or both. Regardless, forensic scientists use a variety of problem-solving methods, mathematical principles, complex instruments, and microscopic examining techniques to explain the intricacies of each piece of evidence from a case. Some forensic scientists work in laboratories, while others conduct their analysis at the scene of the crime.
After analyzing the physical evidence, forensic scientists draw links between the suspect, the victim, and the crime scene. For example, they may use physical evidence to determine the make, model, year, and even the identity of the owner of a car associated with a crime. Then, they explain the results of their analysis and describe the methods they used to reach their conclusion in a report, which they will cite while providing testimony in court. Throughout this process, forensic scientists ensure that their examination of physical evidence is complete, tests are administered correctly, the data interpretation is accurate, their report is clear and concise, and their testimony is truthful.
Forensic toxicology. These specialists concentrate their work to the discipline of toxicology, or the study of the effects, treatment, and detection of various poisons, as it relates to the search for forensic evidence.
Drug chemistry. This specialty emphasizes pharmacology and chemistry, using these fields to help gather, process, and interpret evidence as it arrives from a crime scene.
Forensic DNA. These professsionals exclusively focus on DNA research, demanding additional knowledge of such subjects as genetics, molecular biology, and blood spatter analysis.
Those who are pursuing an associate's degree in forensic science or crime scene investigation should know that their degree will only be suitable for the attainment of entry level and assistant job positions. At least a bachelor's diploma is required for job applicants to successfully arrive at any employment of note in the industry. Most of these undergraduate degrees are earned in such relevant fields as biology, chemistry, or biochemistry, subjects sufficient enough to prepare a student for the crime laboratory. Those looking to specialize in DNA should definitely consider a concentration in genetics if at all possible. A forensic science degree is naturally an excellent choice, as is the decision to take on quality internships and jobs that involve a good deal of lab work and exposure.
To specifically work in crime scene investigation, it is recommended that aspirants take up police training, or even become an officer of the law, after having attained an appropriate college degree. Understanding criminal justice is also a valuable asset for this regard; majoring in the field exclusively may not translate into employment of a highly scientific nature, but minoring in the subject, or studying it in a double major, would be a wise decision. Celebrity and Hollywood portrayals of crime scene work mislead the public, in that their depiction of crime scene staff can show them dabbling in multiple areas of forensics; most forensics and crime scene professionals are relegated to one area exclusively, either the gathering of evidence or the processing of it in the lab.
Those looking to teach in this field are highly advised to firstly gain great on-the-job experience and, secondly, to earn their Ph.D. in the field. There is no requirement for any certification of forensics workers at this time. Such a fact essentially dictates that the best jobs, then, are reserved for those candidates with the best devised education, as well as a great deal of quality experience.

SeniorCare gets extension, new service
A prescription drug program for Wisconsin seniors gets an extension -- just days before it was set to expire.
For many elderly Wisconsin residents, SeniorCare is cheaper and simpler than Medicare Part D, plus there's no doughnut hole.
The current federal waiver that allows the state to run the program outside of Part D was set to expire at the end of the month.
Now, Wisconsin has been granted another waiver to keep the program running through 2015.
"A lot of seniors are going to be very happy when they hear the announcement," said La Crosse County Aging Unit Elderly Benefits Specialist Tina Johnson.
Johnson had been fielding calls from concerned seniors, worried that SeniorCare would go away.
"There's no monthly premium. SeniorCare just has a $30 yearly premium and you can enroll at any time," said Johnson.
The average Part D premium runs about $30 to $35 a month.
Through SeniorCare, co-payments are $5 for generic drugs and $15 for brand-name ones.
Unlike Part D, SeniorCare has no gaps in coverage.
The program includes something new this year -- Medication Therapy Management.
"This is a really big deal for Wisconsin," said Degen Berglund pharmacist Amy Rasmussen.
The new service creates a partnership among doctor, pharmacist and patient.
Pharmacists will review patients' current medications to see if any are redundant or if they could interact poorly.
Rasmussen said that's especially important for seniors.
"As you age, it becomes much more common for you to have some of these disease states, which are very highly complicated, many medications being added. And so it's a population of people that can really benefit from this service," said Rasmussen.
More than 152,000 Wisconsin seniors have purchased prescription drugs through SeniorCare since the program started a decade ago.
About 75 percent of seniors currently enrolled are women.
To learn how to qualify for SeniorCare, call the SeniorCare hotline at 800-657-2038 or go to dhs.wisconsin.gov/seniorcare.
