United for Libraries Resources for Friends Groups
Are you thinking of starting a Friends group, reorganizing or revitalizing the one you have, or a seasoned group looking for some fresh ideas? Look no further! United for Libraries offers a wealth of ideas and resources for Friends groups of all types, sizes, and level of activity. Explore the links in the menu to the left under "Friends Groups" and throughout the rest of the United for Libraries website.
Power Guide for Successful Library Advocacy
United for Libraries, along with the Neal-Schuman Foundation, believe strongly that advocacy can and does work. We've seen evidence of it from coast to coast in all types of libraries at the local and the state levels. Developing an advocacy campaign, as you will soon see, is not rocket science but it does take dedication, hard work, a core group of people who are passionate about the cause and the support of many, many people in your community. This guide will take the mystery out of advocacy, provide you with an organized step-by-step approach, and allow you to develop a set of strategies that will motivate your community to pressure funders to support the library or in the case of a referendum or a bond issue – to vote "yes."

Baby Boomer Volunteers for Libraries and Friends
The baby boomers are retiring! And...they are volunteering in large numbers in communities across the country. If libraries and Friends groups aren't successful in recruiting this special group, some other community agency will be. This three-part series of webcasts is designed to inform library Friends, Trustees, and staff about this new generation of baby boomer volunteers — how they are different from volunteers in the past, what they want from service opportunities, and how libraries and Friends can attract them. Courses include:
- Meet Today's New Volunteers
- Friends and Baby Boomers - Getting New Active Members for Your Group
- Library Volunteers - Bringing in Skilled and Committed Baby Boomers
Learn more, register, or access courses now! NOTE: Online registration is only available for the single-seat (member or non-member) option. To register for the multi-seat, single library site option, please see the registration form (PDF, 267 kb).

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYThat's a rarity on this Dennis Leonard card: an athlete's signature that you can actually read clearly! Leonard was often quite a workhorse in his career. He led the American League in starts three times, including with 38 in 1980. Leonard won 20 games despite also leading the AL with 30 dingers allowed.

- Title
- Occipitotemporal activity elicited by viewing eye movements : a magnetoencephalographic study
- Author(s)
- Puce, Aina; Watanabe, Shoko; Kakigi, Ryusuke
- Abstract
- Thetemporal and spatial processing of viewing eye movements was studied by magnetoencephalography (MEG) in six normal subjects. Three visual stimulus types were studied: (1) moving eyes (EYES), (2) moving simulated eyes (SIM), consisting of checks moving in the same spatial location as EYES, and (3) an inwardly moving radial pattern (RADIAL). A large clear MEG component, 1M, with mean peak latency of approximately 170 ms, was seen in the right hemisphere to RADIAL and EYES in all six subjects. The 1M to EYES was significantly longer in latency and smaller in amplitude than that seen to RADIAL. A left hemisphere 1M to EYES and RADIAL was seen in three of six subjects. In all subjects and both hemispheres the equivalent current dipoles (ECD) for EYES and RADIAL were located near the occipitotemporal border, the MT/V5 homologue in humans. The ECD to EYES was significantly more posterior and inferior than that to RADIAL, with a calculated significant separation distance of around 1 cm. No ECD was estimated in the fusiform gyrus, a structure that plays a main role in static face perception. Although the 1M was detected in SIM in all six subjects, our criteria for a reliable ECD could only be satisfied in only one subject. Our results suggest that the cortex of human MT/V5 and its surrounds is active both in the perception of eye motion and motion in general, particularly in the right hemisphere. The areas responsive to eye motion were separable from those responsive to radial motion. These data suggest that there may be specialization within regions of human cortex previously thought to be sensitive to motion in general.

Field runners have been around baseball for as long as I can remember. Usually they're drunk kids who make a mad dash for the field, run around with no apparent purpose, only to be quickly lassoed by local law enforcement and hauled into the stadium tunnel. In the 70's there were streakers. These were people that actually ran naked onto the baseball field only to meet the same fate. There was also the buxom Morganna, a head full of mad platinum blonde hair and enormous breasts, who used to run onto the field directly towards a player, kiss that player, and then go back to her seat. For the player it was considered an honor. I can't remember a player ever being assaulted by a wayward fan who had run onto the field. But that was a simpler time. We listened to disco for god's sake.
Then came 9/11 and the world changed and we could never take our safety for granted again. Shoebombs. Anthrax (not the band). Virginia Tech. Society has shown it can get a little screwy and scary so now, when a person runs onto a baseball field, where we all used to laugh and hoot, many of us become alarmed. This is because recent history has taught us that anything can happen. Simply put, for the safety of those on the playing field, what was once a little harmless fun, is now something to be taken seriously.
So, it was at the intersection of my youthful naivete and our restless future where I saw a waifish, 17-year old kid brazenly run onto the outfield wielding a hand towel, hopping around, and looking for all the trouble he could handle. What I saw next was surreal – perhaps absurd.
Look, I know the difference between danger and somebody doing something stupid. That said, that kid posed no more danger to a player, or anyone else on that field, than a windblown hot dog wrapper. The drill started as usual. The kid came on the field. He ran around. Everyone ran towards him. But dangit this kid was wiley and hard to catch. Now the Philadelphia Police Officer had decided he had seen enough and broke out his weapon and sent currents of electricity through the interloper's body. Are you kidding? Is this what we've come to? I for one hope that, while field running can not be tolerated, tasers are not routinely pulled from holsters at first sight of an intruder.
My suggestion for the future? Why not employ a common sense approach. In the interest of those playing in the game, why not measure the use of force to be employed on a case by case basis? Stay with me here. For instance, if a guy that runs on the field has the Quran in one hand and a grenade in the other, or is the mohawk guy from the Road Warrior, then bring in the cavalry. But if its a 17-year old boy flouncing around the outfield for kicks, or someone jumping out of his seat along the baseline to get a baseball, or a monarch butterfly fluttering around the pitchers mound, please keep the weapon on your hip and catch the offender the old fashioned way: by expending the necessary energy to chase him down, tackle him, and roughhouse him down to the station.
Yes, it can be said that we live in dangerous times – so lets be vigilant and protective. But not careless. If shocking people with electricity is the way those smarter than me think that it should be handled, then I guess that's the way it'll be. But I can't help but think what a sad commentary that would be on where this crazy world is headed.

Very simple. After I tazed them I would have them beaten and Id show it on TV and the big screen.
Sadly it will take a Monica Seles moment for this all to be taken seriously.
I dont think its funny. I think its serious and should be handled in a very serious manner. Its nto a question of if but when. I still remember the 2 guys beating up the 3rd base coach. They shuold have been tazered then beaten.
Dipsy, I wholeheartedly agree with your post. It seems that many officers are using taser guns just as a means to expedite the normal process. I mean, there's gotta be some common sense here. Catch the guy (you will –it's a ballpark, he can't magically run away!!), arm-lock or whatever… But tasering him in front of 45,000 people… in front of kids and families… c'mon have some decency.
I don't know what are the exact consequences of sending electrical shocks through someone's body, but they sure don't seem to be good for anybody. A ballpark is no place for taser guns.
a ball park is no place to run on the field. I cant believe peopel think that automatic tazering isnt a good idea? they could have anything on them you need to take them down. Like i said when a player is killed sadly then tazering will be common place.
It's always going to look like they went too far until some jackass tried to run at a player. Then people will be saying where were the tasers?
Thank you Roy
Sad that a player will have to be injured or killed for common sense to rule. Closing the barn door after the horse is gone desnt work.
@Roy: I agree with you. Pre 911: It's just common sense that we shouldn't have to lock the cockpit door. After all, who would want to take down the pilots?
Same thing applies here.
I am actually reminded of that crazed fan who stabbed Monica Seles and pretty much ruined her career. I don't want that happening to Ryan Howard or Chase Utley or whatever. Sometimes you don't know who is a danger until it's too late.
As usual, I totally disagree with the Dip.
Many of life's great lessons are learned the hard way. If you don't listen to the back of your ticket, you don't listen to the ball girls video message, you don't listen to your father, you don't listen to the grounds crew, and you don't listen to the cops, you are going to listen to the taser.
That dope was told more than enough times to not do what he did.
Once you step onto the field, you have broken the law. Once you attempt to avoid apprehension, you are resisting arrest. The taser is a tool that was invented for the purpose of gaining control of a suspect with the least amount of harm. The person that ran onto the field was looking for attention and he found it. I fully back the use of these tools and our police officers.
Dipsy; FYI, terrorist organizations are recruiting people that look like you and me. If it were my call I'd have a few German shepards at the ready. Let's see a drunken seventeen year old outrun that.
Final point is this. If there is a civil suit and the plaintiff is awarded a settlement then what will stop anyone else from jumping onto the field with the sole purpose of a payday from the Phils and the city?
You're not resisting arrest until someone is actually trying to arrest you, until then you are merely avoiding apprehension. I can guaran-damn-tee you that someone will be severely injured by a taser gun before a player is injured by a dope running on the field. Just go catch the guy. It sounds like some people on this board are in favor of tasering every person that bursts onto the field. Could this be true. Why should cops act differently in a stadium that they do on the streets. In the vast majority of cases, people that are put up a fight or are running from the police are wrestled to the ground and cuffed or chased down and cuffed. Cops just don't bust out tasers on the streets like they did at CB the other day. Believe it. He was just a kid. With a towel.
The Dipsy
" It sounds like some people on this board are in favor of tasering every person that bursts onto the field. Could this be true"
Ahem, Yes. Taser the shit out of anybody who is dumb enough to run on the damn field. Period. End of story. Case closed.
You can guarentee? Are you serious? A tennis player has already been stabbed. A third base coach has been beaten and no one has ever been injured by being tazed on a playing field. Thats some guarentee.
And yes EVERY person who runs on a playing field and interupts a game should be tazered.
Grab the person. Wrestle him to the ground. I don't care about tennis players in other countries where people are freakin crazy. At soccer games in third world countries they carry automatic weapons. I'll call it a "curve of reasonableness", and the other night, when the PPD tasered the prancing ninny, they went off the res a bit. But hey, it is Philly, and there is a rich tradition to uphold.
The Dipsy
45,000+ fans stayed in their seats and enjoyed the game. One decided to "storm the field". Take care of the problem. Parents, teach your kids a "life lesson" from this episode that you don't run onto the field unless you are in the game or want to get tazed. Player safety is the priority, not some knucklehead who craves attention.
Tell ya what. Next time someone comes on the field and acts like that kid. He will NOT be tasered.
The Dipsy
One thing is to run in circles in the outfield waving a towel…
Another completely different thing is to run towards a player and attempt to hurt them…
It all comes down to training the officers adequately. Poor training = misuse of taser guns…
this blog sucks and the writer's blow
And, the only reason the kid got tased was because the 300 pound cop that got him couldn't take another step and felt his chest tighten up, so he just said "eff it" and popped him. Either that or he mistook the kid for a cheeseburger.
The Dipsy
Heres a video of the Royals third base coach who was beaten by some chicago fans. I bet he is in favor of tazing. They interview the guy and about a minute and a half in theres a video of him being pummeled. He says he still has emotional scars. I guess if it happened to Utley the Dip wouldnt want him to be protected. Maybe could have a chair and let them sit down and the dip could ask them their intentions before they run on the field. Then we will know how to handle it.
Look at this video.
He won't be tasered, but thats a PR move. Dipsy, I am not sure what your point is. I hate to break it to you, but people are "freakin crazy" here in the US too. I just don't see how a security guard or police officer is going to effectively judge what someone's intent is in a matter of seconds when they run on the field. Can you imagine if you were that guy that kept the taser at your side and then something actually happened. The worst thing that can happen to someone getting tazed is that their friends can watch the video on YouTube ad naseum. The worst thing that could happen if a fan can just run out and do whatever they want…do we really want to wait and see?
Not to say that every fan who runs onto the field should tazered, but it can't we agree that tazing might actually be safer not only for the players, but also for the kid. The kid is 17, skinny. A cop could tackle him and crack his ribs. I don't think tazing causes any damage.
Dipsy, you're funny. It's better that a policeman suffers a heart attack chasing a law breaker? I've read a lot of your posts and you are more intelligent than you are presenting yourself. I think you're just poking us with a stick for entertainment until the game starts.
I really don't mind the tasering at all. In fact, I wouldn't mind if they started doing that to every guy who runs on the field. Dipsy, you responded to the Monica Seles incident, but what about the Gamboa incident? There are obviously lots of idiots out there and if you combine that with alcohol, then it doesen't matter where you are, you might do something that's dangerous.
"He won't be tasered, but that's a PR move."
Sure its a PR move. Because 17 year old pixies, one who is actually running away from people, not towards anyone, shouldn't be tasered. There is a reason why its a bad PR move and that because most people think what the cop did was unnecessary and the Phils probably don't want it to happen again. If you have properly trained security personnel on the field, they will know when to use a taser and when not. Thats all I ask.
The Dipsy
Dipsy, you may not have thought that the teenager posed a threat, but we all know that hindsight is 20/20. The PLAYERS thought he posed a threat. He jumped out of the stands right in front of Jayson Werth, who thought he was a threat. I admit, I didn't particularly thinke he was a threat; I thought he was an asstard (he was). But the people in that stadium didn't pay a collective million dollars to watch a pathetic loser seeking attention. (45,000 people X average $31 per ticket = almost $1.4 million)
You seem to think that a taser is an excessive use of force. But apparently, it was so incredibly NOT excessive that a loser ran onto the field the very next night, after tweeting his intentions, just to get a little free publicity (he's a DJ for hire).
Actually, it was Cataldi who had the best line of all about tasering, the morning after the second guy, the fat slob of a 34-year-old DJ, ran out on the field. Cataldi said that if that second guy tried to run away from the police, they would need to use a taser… to defibrillate him!
This kid should have thought about the ramifications of running onto the field. It's his own fault he got tazed. If he doesn't run onto the field, guess what, nothing would have happened to him. The policy should be: if you enter the playing field you get TAZED. I think that should be warning enough not to do some foolish act like that.
Mother Teresa walks out onto the field – tazed. A woman runs onto the field to hug a player – tazed. An eight year old kid jumps over the rail to get a ball down the third base line – tazed. OK genius.
The Dipsy
If that was the policy and it was blatantly ignored, well, those are the posted consequences if it were my decision to make. I think a taser is safer than some of the results that I have personally seen event staff carry out at sporting events and concerts. What would they be saying if event staff or police tackled this kid and in the middle of the tackle they severely injured this kid? He was quite hard to catch so there is a good chance he could have fallen in some weird angle that could have led to a devastating injury that would be far worse than a zap of a taser.
Trespassing and Resisting Arrest.
If the president was throwing out the first pitch and someone ran onto the field, what would be the appropriate response? I'll give you a second to mull that over.
Now tell me why anyone at a game deserves less protection in that situation than the president.
Furthermore, I say drag them into the tunnel and taser them again.
Because they're not the president, that's why. The president is more important than you and me. I hate to break that to you. Unless you have the Secret Service with you 24 hours a day you might be the exception.
The Dipsy
The brilliant legal minds that populate this site seem to have some difficulty understanding that different parts of the criminal justice system have different jobs. You'd think that after 20 years of Law & Order reruns that some people would have figured it out by now, but let me recap for those that don't understand: the police are responsible for catching criminals, the courts prosecute/punish them. There's a really good reason why pretty much all civilized societies adhere to that sort of system. Playing the silly "what if" games are fun and all (what if Monica Seles jumps on the field? You're not going to taser her are you? HASN'T THE POOR LADY SUFFERED ENOUGH ALREADY!!!) but police officers are responsible for exercising judgment based on the situation and it's obvious that the kid was fast, the cop was fat and embarrassed, and so he used force where it wasn't warranted.
Yes GENIUS a lady runs onto thte field and is coming at a player to hug him she better be tazed. Anyone running at one of the players should eb immediately tazed. Only in america where our poor people on government assistance are all almost always fat would you even have this arguement. Awful defense here dipsy. Way to try to put people down. when you are out on a limb here. the next time a player or coach is beaten up or stabbed just keep your mouth shut. Like the one guy said earlier this is a stupid column.
Next guy that runs out lets let the dipsy come out hold his hand and sing kumbaya with him GENIUS.
Mother Theresa runs out on the field would be some story as she came back from the dead and dug her way out of a coffin. But yes when she ran out on the field she should be tasered.
Do i need to post the video of the coach beaing beaten and the Seles stabbing again?
Dips, I completely agree with you on this, as a matter of fact it was discussed at length on DNL, and they also took a poll. Surprisingly to me, results were 70% for the tasing, 30% against. And I see that very few people on here agree with us.
I sent an e-mail to DNL which Michael Barkann read on air. I posed this question: Who do you think got the worse punishment, the jerk who vomited on the little girl, or the field jumper? Anyone who thinks the kid running around the field waving a towel was more of a threat than the drunken vomiter is just delusional. If the popo can't tell the difference between a kid doing something stupid and a terrorist, maybe they need some more training. And if you're too out of shape to tackle a kid running in circles in the outfield, you have no business doing that job.
Obviously, the Phillies organization agrees with Dips, Manny, and me, because they changed their policy regarding "field jumpers" the next day. What is wrong with all you people, why do you think violence is the answer to everything? It's just fine to get all drunked up at a game and act obnoxiously…what if they started tasing unruly drunks? Bet we'd have a different story then.
Andrew, your arguments are ridiculous and hold no water whatsoever….oh, and you're not funny either, in case you were under the assumption you are.
Tasers are USUALLY somewhat harmless, but under certain conditions can cause DEATH. A few cracked ribs is certainly better than possibly killing someone. If one wants to speculate, one can't just cite the possibility of harm to a ballplayer, but also has to consider the potential death of a teenage drunk. To me, that punk was really stupid, and deserves some kind of huge fine and mandatory jail time, but the cop used poor judgment and should be suspended until he completes some kind of better training. He should also be thrown off the force if he doesn't lose some weight.
One thing here which doesn't make much sense: who the heck kept serving alcohol to someone under age? Shouldn't that be a problem to be looked into? If he'd consumed liquor before the game, it's effects would have worn off mostly–at least enough to make better judgments–by the time he was ready to make his dash. Some concession stand vendor was likely violating the law, and should be fired.
George: I think the one who was drunk was the second, older "field runner." I may be wrong, but the 17-year old wasn't drunk… Drunk or not, he just made a poor decision which actually a lot of people in the crowd thought was funny at the time… and then he got tasered for that.
Georgie, your arguments are ridiculous and hold no water whatsoever….oh, and you're not funny either, in case you were under the assumption you are.
you are about as interesting as paint drying. You offer nothing. I can only hope you are out of line some day and get tasered. hardy har har
Send off another email genius do gooder.
If the popo can't tell the difference between a kid doing something stupid and a terrorist, maybe they need some more training.
Brilliant. Is this the type of email you send to DNL? You are really a go getter. You and dipsy can hold hands and sing kumbaya with the next field jumper. Haha
I sent an e-mail to DNL which Michael Barkann read on air.
Stop the presses there is royalty amoungst us. Can I send away for your autographed photo? I mean really they read YOUR email?
I am mighty proud of you.
We got a big shot on little old phillies nation.
Uh oh, sounds like I might have hit a nerve there Andrew….are you related to the cop, or maybe you ARE the cop!
At any rate, you should lay off the booze for tonight and hit the sack….you're ranting and making a fool of yourself, which is probably nothing new.
Georgie we cant all be as well versed or lucky enough to have our emails read on DNL. It makes you the premier authority on this topic I know. Watch the video of that poor coach beng beaten. Thats an innocent man doing his job. Not someone willingly breaking the law.
Being proud of having an email read somewhere and thinking that makes you more relevant? OK you may be mildly retarded. I will leave you alone now. Criminals are good police are bad. You win.
I disagree with Dip completely, for all the reasons cited above.
I can't believe I'm agreeing with him, but Scotch Man actually hit it on the head: you don't listen to the back of the ticket, the ball girls, your father, security, etc., you deal with the consequences, and there's no way to predict what the consequences will be, but you take that gamble when you break the rules. This moron got tazed and has only himself to blame.
Given the demographic this site caters to (men 25-55), it shouldn't be that surprising that this is the reaction. And I'm not saying anything derogatory about the demographic, we're just more "law and order" oriented. By a great majority, men are the cops, the fireman, the soldiers, the hunters, etc. As such, I think there is much less tolerance re: this topic. This is not merely sociology, of which I am no expert, but merely based on my experience and observation. While I recognize that tasers should be in the "tool box" for CB security (now that the PPD have been sh@tcanned), it should not be the first thing they go for when someone jumps on the field. I have no problem with its use when warranted. Its just that most people that have posted seem to believe that its not only always warranted, but should be deemed mandatory. And I think thats wrong. And its not about teaching someone a lesson. Its about getting a situation under control, and for this purpose, the only purpose that matters, a taser is not needed most of the time. Use it, don't abuse it (I had to throw that in, sorry).
The Dispy
It's not easy to find good stats on taser safety. The anti-taser faction points to 277 deaths occuring when someone was tasered since 2001, but doesn't go into the cause of death (drugs, heart attack due to exertion running away,…) or the total number of people tasered (is this 0.01% or 25%?). The pro-taser side states it is much safer than a baton, firearm, or other methods of being physically subdued (while it hurts, for most of the population, it is the fall that causes the damage, not the 50k volts), but doesn't give a whole lot of stats either. Here's the closest thing to objective I can find, but unfortunately, the study did not indicate who funded the research:
A study led by William Bozeman, of the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, of nearly 1,000 persons subjected to Taser use, concluded that 99.7% of the subjects had either minor injuries, such as scrapes and bruises, or none at all; while three persons suffered injuries severe enough to need hospital admission, and two other subjects died. Their autopsy reports indicated neither death was related to the use of a Taser.
The bottom line is fans don't belong on the field, and in a split second, it isn't easy to determine who is and who isn't a threat (if it were that easy, there wouldn't be soldiers dying every week due to suicide bombers). Personally, I'd have no problem stamping on every ticket that if you run out onto the field (note – falling over the rail to catch a foul ball is not running out onto the field), you risk getting tased on every ticket. Give them to police only (not security or ushers). Players and umps/refs belong on the field, fans in the stands.
Dipsy, great article and the commentary that follows is riveting. Rarely do I read the entire thread when it reaches 40 some odd posts, but I found myself doing that this morning.
I agree with you on this….which I guess puts me in the minority with you, Georgie, and Manny. All I could think of when this thing went down was RIZZO'S BOYS…Yes…Frank Rizzo. His legacy lives on I suppose thirty plus years later. The Philadelphia Police Dept. took a page out of his playbook ….or the play book of the LAPD (Rodney King)….and tazered some jackass punk kid because he was waving a towel around the field.
IF he really posed a threat…then, yeah, tazer him. That's why the police have those things….to use as a LAST RESORT. But this seemed too much like a preemptive strike to me….or maybe it was laziness on the part of the fat cop that couldn't catch him….or it was his way of elevating his own testosterone levels.
I didn't have a problem with the taser… truth is, a good old fashioned tackle has the potential to do more damage than a taser. Taser the kid in the arse and he's gonna be fine after a short nap. If that kid was laid out by my brother (3 time D2 all-american LB), I guarantee you that he's going to have at least a few broken ribs and a concussion. If someone is blatantly resisting apprehension and being warned, "I'm gonna taser you" in my opinion, there's no reason they shouldn't be tasered.
What disgusted me is that they couldn't catch the kid… can we get a couple of security guards that aren't sloths?
I also feel like you can't assume that someone running on the field is harmless just because they're not carrying a Quran and a grenade… we live in a different world and people do crazy things. There's a lady that was arrested in Bucks County not too long ago for organizing a terrorist cell… Jihad Jane. Google it… blonde haired and blue eyed… my point, extremism and irrationalism come in all shapes and colors.
I don't have a problem with the taser either….if it's used appropriately. It just seemed that with this case the kid was simply running around the field waving a towel trying to get some attention (guess he's missing something at home).
You are right about some tackles possibly doing more harm…but there is probably a way to wrestle someone to the ground WITHOUT breaking his ribs. Again…two words….POLICE BRUTALITY.
It just comes down to the police having the proper training…which, apparentely, in a lot of cases….they don't.
Slamming into somebody unnecessarily hard with the intention to do damage sends just the same negative message as using a taser gun.
I saw a police "takedown" once when the cops actually did know what they were doing and had been properly trained. They merely chased down the suspect, who may or may not have been armed. One of the two officers struck him behind the knees, and down he went. Both cops were smaller than the suspect, and it really only took one of them (the smaller one) to bring the guy down, the other was just there to clap the cuffs on when the clown hit the pavement. The suspect may have had a few scrapes, but he was never in any real physical danger, as he would have been if tackled or tasered.
Tasers in a situation like this one are overkill, plain and simple. Sure, there are suicide bombers, but bombs tend to be large and lumpy–pretty obvious if carried by some skinny kid. And one skinny kid isn't going to do much damage to a base coach. Also, if the kid had a bomb, chances are an electric shock could set it off.
George, how about a box cutter. Easy to conceal and yet powerful enough to bring down the WTC on 9/11.
Yo, Keith….the box cutters were used on PLANES….the PLANES then slammed into the WTC.
Did you see a PLANE running around the field at CBP??
George said-"And one skinny kid isn't going to do much damage to a base coach."
George , how about a skinny kid with a box cutter? How did the terrorists gain control of the planes?
Again….did you see a plane anywhere near the playing field?
I don't see any reason why a taser is overkill in this instance… it is my understanding that police officers have to get tasered in training and used properly, there is no threat of life. It's not like they shot him. As soon as he made it clear that he wasn't going to stop running and they weren't going to catch him, they had the right to use the taser.
Had they been able to catch the kid, we wouldn't be talking about this… like I said, employ a few security guards who are in shape and this isn't even an issue.
Well, that's the whole point, isn't it. The police weren't properly staffed and/or trained in this instance. Instead of being prepared (as in actually having some guys that COULD catch the kid) they weren't….and had to resort to the taser.
This is really dumb. And I won't state my position on the article because I don't think the article should ever be written here. I don't want to hear any one of these writer's opinions unless it is about baseball, then again most of Dipsy's have some sort of alterior motive that sparks vitriol. Stop writing opinion columns with absolutely no backing or research whatsoever please. Most of the baseball stuff you write comes without doing your due diligence as well. It's really quite irksome.
This IS about baseball because it happened during a baseball game…..and affected the players, the fans and the community.
The clown that followed him the next night had a direct effect on Cole Hamels in that 9th inning, in my opinion.
If the kid was trying to hurt one of the players with a box cutter or something, don't you think he would have made a beeline for that particular player, rather than running in circles waving a towel? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to assess the situation in a few seconds, and then just circle the kid and tackle him….no need to taser, for cripe sake.
Dips, given the demographic here, I guess I shouldn't be surprised by some of the comments, but there's what?…maybe 4 of us who think it was over the top? Sad that our society is so numb to violent behavior.
Hey Keith E…I work in retail. We use box cutters. Any reason to be concerned? Just askin'.
<<Sad that our society is so numb to violent behavior>>>
It is the exact opposite. We care about the 45000 people who obey the law. We dont have a problem with punishing criminals. Most also dont bash the police. I NEVER want to see anything violent happen to a player or coach again. I especially am dreading when it happens in america. And it is going to happen some day. Then when day comes there will be me who wants the guy put in the electric chair. And you who wants him to recieve an extreme talking to and some rehabilitation. Theres about 25% of the population who doesnt get it. You are in that percentage. That amuses me though so theres that. I am for the police and keeping people in line to STOP violence. I am not an anarchist. I do thank you and your 25% of the population who are anarchist for those 3 extra home games vs the Blue Jays. Now lets talk baseball. Hope the phils get 2 today.
I guess you could say that… but I probably find a taser less cruel than most and the decision to use it a non-issue. If you're an idiot and decide that you want to run out on the field, you deserve whatever comes your way. If a police officer determines that a taser is the best way to bring you down, that's his discretion and I support that decision.
Lovely, just lovely…

Lloyd Pulley is the senior pastor at Calvary Chapel Old Bridge in New Jersey and author of Everyday Conversations, Eternal Impact.
After 9/11, Pulley spent time in New York City sitting with those who had been traumatized, listening to them and their stories. During these months of ministry with wounded strangers, Pulley had a revelation from Jesus Himself.
A revelation for those who desire to share Jesus with others as well as those who desire to know that they are loved by God.
During this chaotic time, Pulley was studying the story of Jesus' encounter with a Samaritan woman. As he read the verses from John 4, he realized that the Samaritan woman's encounter with Jesus was not only life changing for her, but is an everyday model for us in how we can reach the hearts of the lost.
For the lost who are living in sin and know it. And for the lost who have been battered and abused by life after making one bad decision after another.
Know anyone like that? Were you or are you someone like that?
The things Jesus said to the Samaritan woman and the questions He asked were undergirded by godly wisdom that in turn revealed Himself to her and His love for her. Jesus was intentional in the way He communicated to her.
I want to be able to speak to others like Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman. But how do I start a conversation about Jesus with a total stranger? What's the best way to talk to people about sin without making them feel worse and turning them away from Christ?
Pulley uses the acronym S.H.A.R.E. to explain how to offer the gospel to others as Jesus did in this story. S.H.A.R.E. means:
S – Sensitive to the Spirit
H – Humbly Build a Bridge
A – Arouse Interest
R – Reveal Sin
E – Explain the Plan of Salvation
With each letter, he explains how to engage others in conversation about Jesus in a genuine way. A way that may or may not lead them to a relationship with Christ, but a way that will let the person you are talking with know that there is a God whose name is Jesus, He is loving and He wants to be in relationship with each of us.
Pulley reminded me that if I let the Lord lead my conversations, I can rest assured knowing that each conversation I have about Jesus is ultimately in His hands.
This book has been a mirror for me; helping me to see times I have hurt others with my attempts to share Christ. It has also shown me times when I thought I messed it all up, and while the outcome wasn't exactly as I had hoped, I was right where the Lord wanted me to be.
Do you struggle with evangelism and sharing the gospel with others? Are you ever uncertain about when is the right time to talk about Jesus, the need for a Savior, and the realities of sin?
Tell me how you start the conversation and how you approach the subject without alienating the other person.

Welcome back to the Dodge Heritage Series, a 10-part exploration of Dodge brand history. This is Part 6 in the series.
Evolution was the theme for Dodge in the 1970s. By 1978, the familiar Dodge Charger, the muscle car of the 1960s, had evolved into the elegant Dodge Magnum XE — the refined personal luxury coupe you see above. The sporty V-8 engine and bucket seats remained, but now the focus was on comfort and convenience features, and the Magnum XE proved to be a popular seller in its category.

rock-a-bye baby
One of the primary questions I get from people about this project is "What music are you going to use?" In fact, much of my time has been taken up choosing appropriate lullabies based on published literature on developmentally-appropriate music (read: lullabies) for neonates. Lullabies are songs intended to soothe, so they are perfect for infants in the NICU environment.
They are also used by parents to lull babies to sleep.
OMG CUTE. (If you hope to get things accomplished during the rest of your day, don't Google search "sleeping baby." If you want to warm your heart, Google search "sleeping baby.")
We are seeking moderately paced lullabies with steady volume, female vocals, and a single background instrument. We also want versions of the lullabies in Spanish and English so that the neonates can be exposed to music in the language of their parents. Lullabies with all of these qualities are difficult to find, and appropriate versions in Spanish and English are nearly impossible to find.
My current assignment is to listen through lullabies to find ones that meet our list of requirements regarding vocal quality, tempo, and instrumentation so we can perhaps present these to an individual who is willing to record Spanish and English versions of the same lullaby melody. This is our current path because I have not been able to find anything perfect for our study on the Internet. This lullaby search has taken me on a journey through instrumental, baby-geared renditions of Nirvana (featured in a previous post) and most recently to the lullaby albums that my mother played for me and my brother.
While reading Jayne Standley's Music Therapy for Premature Infants, I shared her list of recommended lullaby albums to my mother, only to realize that the album my mom played for me every night (Joanie Bartels' Lullaby Magic) was high on the list! I just listened through this CD again, along with her follow-up Lullaby Magic 2, and both of them put me instantly at ease. As an infant, I would fall asleep to Lullaby Magic whenever a bedtime story from Mommy or Daddy wasn't enough. (It rarely was, I am told.) Lullaby Magic 2 came out a year or two before my brother was born, so I got to listen to it coming from his room during my first couple of years in elementary school.
My mom played them to us in a cassette player that looked a lot like this:
I was listening through Lullaby Magic 2, reminiscing (with myself, how pathetic) about falling asleep in my room as a kid (really pathetic), and I come across this gem called "Sleepyhead (Leila's Song)." It is not my favorite on the CD, but it instantly and obviously triggered Passion Pit. Now "Sleepyhead" is stuck in my head, which, even after approximately 1.5 years of incessant listening, is not a bad thing.
I love Passion Pit. Hopefully they get big enough for Rockabye Baby! to make a lullaby album by the time I become a parent.
Also, I just used a new restroom at NSI and realized that the scent of the hand soap is the same as the shampoo my salon uses. If remembering the ease of being a child on the brink of sleep wasn't enough for my well-being, I am now remembering how good it feels to have someone else wash your hair. (For those readers who have never experienced this, please don't knock it before you try it.)
I feel like a Food Network star yearning for their favorite food on Best Thing I Ever Ate: "Uggh, my mouth is watering and I can almost taste it." In my case, though, I'm mentally returning to my life's most relaxed moments. I suppose an afternoon of listening to lullabies should do that to a person.

After MF Global filed for bankruptcy protection just over a month ago, investigators discovered that approximately $1.2 billion of assets in customers' accounts had somehow disappeared. Although no one at the firm has confirmed where the money went, news reports have suggested that the money may have been used to cover bad trades and debts to other financial institutions. For example, the New York Times recently reported that investigators believe MF Global, in a frantic attempt to remain solvent, may have paid at least $200 million in customer funds to JPMorgan Chase. Also, late yesterday afternoon on Capitol Hill, after the firm's top executives repeatedly and unequivocally denied knowing where the money went, murky allegations arose that the executives knew that the firm was loaning customer money to related parties.
It remains to be seen whether and to what extent MF Global's customers will receive a return of their accounts. Although only a full recovery of the missing $1.2 billion would make the customers whole, tax planning may help ameliorate their financial losses. Section 165 of the Internal Revenue Code provides taxpayers relief to deduct casualty or theft losses that are not compensated by insurance. Revenue Ruling 2009-9, issued to clarify section 165 issues related to the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme, offers useful guidance regarding the timing and character of deductions for losses that are due to theft or fraudulent investments (should MF Global's actions turn out to meet either of those conditions). The Ruling, however, reflects a trap for the unwary buried in section 165: in which year does the deduction arise? (more…)

New DJIA tells us the market is a rich man's game.

It's been a week since the DJIA has traded with its new components.
Beginning on Monday, September 24th, three of the least expensive stocks that used to be a part of the DJIA had been canned and replaced by those with more expensive per share prices.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is supposed to provide investors– and the worldwide business world– with a snapshot of the broad measure of the U.S. stock market. Period.
If that is honestly the purpose of the DJIA, eliminating companies because their per share prices are cheap makes absolutely no sense at all. Why? Because there are literally [More]

I'm not a big blush person. I used pretty much just Orgasm or a peachy color from a drugstore brand. For reference, I am pale with red hair and blue eyes. I loved the look of Exhibit A whenever I saw it but there was no way in hell I was going to try it on. I was finally convinced by a makeup artist/store employee to give it a go. He insisted it is actually pretty flattering on everyone (he also said it was made for Grace Jones!). So I let him put it on me and you know what? It was incredible. I didn't look clownish, or even that i was wearing blush. It looks so natural on my skin like I have a natural flush on the apples of my cheeks. Looks can be deceiving but I pretty much only use this blush at this point and I will be buying it again when I run out.
By Mariella 5 months ago.
I got a very tiny compact of this (the size of a Nars single eyeshadow) as my VIB Rouge welcome gift for 2016. This is a beautiful shade - sort of a warm raspberry red that I think would be flattering on just about everyone. I am seriously contemplating buying a full size of this, though I doubt I actually need it and I never seem to finish up any makeup products save for skin care and foundations. But this is worth having and not like any other blush I own.
By hala 3 years ago.
I have two Nars blushers one in Dolce Vita and the other in Orgasm. Dolce Vita is just lovely it goes on smoothly and lasts all day long (it deserve 5 stars), as for Orgasm for some reason it wouldn't stick on my face unless I wear moisturizer which is weird since my other blushers work perfectly although I never wear foundation.
By Aida 3 years ago.
This is my all-time favorite blush. I am a golden tan skin tone (approx MAC NC42) and this color is actually very natural on me. since i already have a good amount of color in my skin, Gilda looks more like a soft peachy-pink on me. i often get compliments daily. And of course, Nars blushes last FOREVER, so the price point s irrelevant for me. :) MUST BUY!
By Rad 3 years ago.
One of my favourite blushers, Taj Mahal by Nars is a super flattering orange shade with a beautiful golden finish. It's so easy to use, highly pigmented and long wearing (approx 7 hours). The more you blend out the more it actually works as a good highlighter too. Love this!
By Ann 3 years ago.
I find it easy to overdo due to the pigmentation, but very easy to apply and to sheer out with my 182 kabuki by MAC. I really cannot find anything wrong with this blush. If you are olive/warm toned you will love this blush! It you have pores or hate shimmer, I would suggest trying it on before buying. I personally have no issues with it. A great value for the price!
By Jerrilyn 3 years ago.
First tried the lip gloss in this color and found that it is one of the three best nudes for me. Then I read Christine's review of the blush but kept finding my local stores out of this blush. I finally got ahold of this and really like it. I have many similar shades with shimmer but love that this is so much more natural and does not accentuate pores.
By Rad 4 years ago.
I think my experience of this blush is the same as others. The colour is gorgeous but the payoff, not so much. Like Benefit's Coralista, Nars' Orgasm blush is just a bit too glittery to wear every day and it is really sheer, so the more you add to get colour, the more glitter you add to your cheeks. Still, it's a high quality product and I can see why its so popular.
By Mindy 4 years ago.
Liberte was my first NARS blush purchase and I am so glad I have it. It is such a beautiful fall color to wear on my NC25-35 skin. It's extremely pigmented so I use a duo fiber brush to apply it. I don't have any problem blending it and it stays on all day. I think the subtle sheen helps a lot to help the color look full of life and not flat.
By Ella 4 years ago.
Some people love it, some people don't. I think it has a beautiful sheen to the cheeks, but some people think it is to shimmery . It can be light on darker skin tones, and some people with fair/light skin and/or people with red undertones, think this blush is too red. I have a light skin myself, but i have found a way to work with this blush, it is very buildable, so when i just put it on the cheeks lightly, it will have just the perfect sheen with a little bit of coral/pink color to it. So now i just really like it, it is a healthy looking color on the skin, and i just really love the glow!
By NoName 4 years ago.
BOTTOM LINE: Try before you buy! It's a cult classic for a reason, but is not right for everyone. PROS: -- Provides a luminous flush of pink with a hint of peachy-golden sheen -- Pigmented -- Buildable; easy to create the look you want -- Good quality, smooth, and applies evenly CONS: -- If you want a matte blush, this is NOT it. There is definite sparkle/sheen. -- The sheen/sparkle can emphasize pores and other skin imperfections.
By Iggy 4 years ago.
My favorite everyday blush. This is perfect for the ultra-lightskinned like me :) I don't normally wear peachy colors but this one is a big exception. Even when I don't feel like putting anything else on, I'll wear some of this.
By Rafaela 4 years ago.
This is probably NARS least pigmented blush, but I don't see this as a bad thing, in my NC20 skin it can be easily built to a natural color that defines my cheekbones like no other. This is my go-to blush when I want to look polished. It pairs beautifully with a red lip. I like to apply it with MAC 109 or 168, I find them good to build the color. And when I want the no make-up look, I can pretend I have cheekbones by using it lightly.
By Rafaela 4 years ago.
Luster is such a beautiful color, it warms my face like no other! I love pairing it with a red lip for a night out and with a nude lip for the workplace. It is very versatile, it has shimmer but when blended I almost can't see it in my face. In my complexion it looks a bit more peach, but it is still natural looking

Phillips 66's recent announcement that it would not build its 7,000-job renewable-energy research center on the former Storage Technology Corp. campus in Louisville was disappointing.
But it was not unexpected. Fears had abounded among local and state economic-development officials for the past couple of years, practically ever since ConocoPhillips first announced the project in early 2008. Any observer could read between the lines of press releases that announced repeated delays in the project.
The project's fate probably was settled the minute that ConocoPhillips decided to split into two companies: There was no guarantee that leadership at Phillips 66, which had inherited the plan, would see it through.
Expectations were high that the development would jumpstart the Boulder Valley's clean-tech economy the same way that IBM Corp. jumpstarted the technology sector. To lose such a project is painful.
But think of the asset that we still have: The former StorageTek campus encompasses 432 acres of land perfectly situated just outside Boulder along U.S. Highway 36, near the Interlocken business park.
The land is close to the University of Colorado and federal labs in Boulder and Golden. Proximity to the Northwest Parkway provides easy access to Denver International Airport.
This land will be developed. Whether that development is a clean-tech campus that spurs the industry in Colorad remains to be seen. Perhaps it will be another local business park, providing much-needed office space for companies growing out of the Boulder startup hotbed.
Perhaps it will add to the state's biotech hubs, or become a candidate for the NASA-oriented aerospace and clean-tech campus once envisioned for Loveland.
We would have loved to see the Phillips 66 plan reach fruition. But we'll also love to see what takes its place.

The state Supreme Court is disbarring Joseph Weigel, a well-known plantiff's lawyer and father of one of the top officials in the Office of Lawyer Regulation.
In seeking his disbarment, the Office of Lawyer Regulation - the policing arm of the court -- argued that Weigel ran his law firm's client trust account like a Ponzi scheme. That is, the regulators said, he ran hundreds of millions of dollars through the fund and used money won in new cases to pay off clients in older cases. Others, such as consultants and experts who assisted in cases, went unpaid. »Read Full Blog Post(9)

How to Balance Work and Family
There are still just 24 hours in a day, but now that you are a dad you are trying to jam in a full workday, a commute, time for her, time for the kids, time for you (if you're lucky) and hopefully a few hours of shut-eye in there somewhere too. Whew! You have a full - no, overflowing - plate of responsibilities and commitments. Without finding a balance between all of those elements, someone or something is going to suffer. So here are a few tips for making time for everything and everyone in your life.
Flexible Work Schedule
Compressed work week - Many companies will allow you to work four, 10-hour days instead of five, 8-hour days. This will give you one day off a week to take care of your child(ren).
Alternate work times - Some couples work completely opposite schedules (one works nights, the other works days) while others do something in between, such as one starting work later and staying later in order to take the child in the morning, while the other goes in early and comes home early to look after the child in the afternoon/evening. This can be hard on the parental relationship as it doesn't allow much time to see each other, but it does work for some couples.
Part time - If your financial situation can handle the reduced income, working part-time can provide ample opportunity to spend with your kids.
Working from Home - While working from home conjures up idealistic visions of working in your pajamas while the kids play quietly by themselves, the reality is closer to grabbing a few minutes of work while the kids are napping. Working from home may still require a baby-sitter during the day so you can get work done, but you will still be there for lunch and snacks.
Stay-at-home Dad - Stay-at-home dads are a growing trend, as are associated support systems such as SAHD blogs, forums and dad playgroups. Staying at home full-time isn't for everyone and the reduced income can be stressful. However, the close bond you create with your children is priceless.
Prioritize Your Commitments
Even the most well-organized and dedicated parent can get overwhelmed and stretched in all directions. Sit down and make a list of your commitments and activities and how many hours each day or week go towards each one. How do the hours add up? Where can you make some changes to ensure your hours are in line with your priorities? Make time for those that really matter to you and learn to say "no" to those that don't.
Phone Home
If you're stuck at the office and it's your child's bedtime, call home and talk to him or her just to say goodnight and that you love him or her. Check in frequently with your wife or girlfriend to tell her you love her too! Never underestimate the power of the little things.
Make a Family Date
Create a standing family date that you cannot break. Have a sit-down dinner every night or at least once a week. Plan a family activity, such as game night (break out old-school board games, take a trip to an activity center (and play together - no splitting up) or fire up the Wii or PlayStation), or plan some other outing that involves everyone.
Keep One Calendar
Include your children's sports practices and games, recitals, plays, and parent-teacher conferences on your work calendar so you see all your obligations at one glance.
Give Your Undivided Attention
When you are spending time with your family, really give them your full attention. Turn off the cell phone or Blackberry and step away from the email. It doesn't count if you're physically sitting next to them but your head and your heart are back at the office. They'll notice.

An Introduction to Lucent's WaveLAN Wireless LAN Card
There's much more to 802.11b spec than that teeny little "b" indicates. 802.11b is not just the downstairs apartment of 802.11; it's a whole new world of wireless possibilities.
Before we examine what makes that little "b" so special, let's take a look at the original 802.11:
But 802.11 isn't perfect. For example, how do you detect collisions with a device that can transmit or receive at any given moment, but can't do both at the same time?
What happens when packets you've sent bounce off of a distant wall and come right back at you microseconds later?
Another major problem with 802.11 equipment was its relatively low speed compared to wired networking -- only up to 2 Mbps -- and the fundamental incompatibility (and confusion) between FHSS and DSSS equipment. But because they were incompatible, a choice had to be made. And that choice led to the 802.11b spec.
The FHSS frequency-hopping cards were the first to hit the marketplace, as they were cheaper to produce and easier to implement than DSSS. As time marched on (and with Moore's Law in effect), the processing power needed to cheaply implement DSSS soon became available. As it turned out, given the FCC's broadcasting constraints and some terribly clever engineering, DSSS began to prove itself as the more reliable solution.
In September of 1999, the 802 committee extended the specification, deciding to standardize on DSSS. This extension, 802.11b, allowed for new, more exotic encoding techniques. This pushed up the throughput to a much more respectable 5.5 Mbps (up to 11 Mbps). While breaking compatibility with FHSS schemes, the new extensions made it possible for new equipment to continue to interoperate with older 802.11 DSSS hardware.
With the ever-present need for speed temporarily quenched, everyone who is anyone started jumping on the wireless roller coaster. While Lucent and Cisco are the major producers, Apple, Xircom, Linksys, IBM, and others have all come out with OEM equipment.
Now that the spec is set (for the moment), let's review a few tips to make your wireless networking experience as solid as possible.
Here are some practical 802.11 facts that any self-respecting wireless hacker should be aware of:
So in short, while they're billed for 11 Mbps, your mileage will most certainly vary. The most I've been able to squeeze through a card doing WEP was about 6.5 Mbps sustained (roughly 8 Mbps without WEP), and even that was downhill with a good, stiff tailwind.
Rob using a parabolic dish in search of the strongest signal
Antenna selection has a tremendous impact on the range of your wireless network. Here a few things I've learned:
Finally, here's a real gem: Lay your antennas in the spring. Trust me.
Why, you ask?
Well, your worst natural enemy is water. Low-power microwaves will bounce off leaves like a mirror. If you set up a well-placed antenna in the winter, you will be horribly disappointed in April when the trees are blooming and your signal is dropping.
To sum up: 802.11b has brought speed and cheap, reliable hardware to the networking world. For the first time, people can bring up high-speed, encrypted communication lines for only the cost of hardware. As disruptive technologies go, this one has its disrupter set on "obliterate."

Expiration Date:?Nov 2020Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

What an expensive way to shop. Not only is there a huge DHL delivery charge but weeks later another large Customs and Excise bill arrived. Doubled the cost of my products just about. Never again.
Does not work for me

Does not work for me. Took this when I have leg cramp but remain very painful.
Good product

I bought this for my mother and she swears by it now
Yep they work
Posted by Rena61 on Mar 05, 2016
They work well and fast when you find yourself in panic mode because you know the cramp is going to hit. It relieves the pain quickly. The down side is it will not keep it away, I sometimes have to take more when the cramp returns. Still the best I have found, so I will keep stock of this.

Greatest product ever. I have severe back problems, drop foot, and neck problems. At least every other night I wake up with a severe cramp in one of my legs. I reach over on my night stand, put one tablet under my tongue and in minutes my leg feels great and I can go back to sleep.I have informed my doctor about this, so therefore I was able to come off two very expensive medications that were really not helping.

text: Hello all! First time posting byt I need the help. My 15 month old still nurses about 2-4 time after initially going to sleep at night. During the day she nurses on and off every couple hours. My husband and I are having a hard time getting her to sleep in under 1 hour. She nurses at least 5 times and we have to have all of the lights off and be "sleeping"(we co-sleep). This is starting to take its toll on both of us. Is there any advice that anyone can give about nursing a little less? Daddy has done the tickleing and we rock, and try to keep everything calm about 1/2 hour before we start bedtime. It's usually around 9:45pm before my babe is sleeping. Thanks for your help

Hi, I'm checking to see if I can get some extra feedback on whether my youngest dd is gaining enough weight.
She had her 4 mo check up on Monday and weighed in at 13lbs 7 oz ( 24 in long ) - I was surprised that she had not gained more but the dr said he was happy with her wt gain and that she is in the 50% percentile - she our third and although she weighed the most at birth she is just about the same weight as my son was at 4 mo and I think my oldest was actually a bit more by this point. With my other 2 I exclusively breastfeed until I went back to work at 3 months, and then they were supplemented with formula during the day , and I bf mornings and evenings. With my youngest I am able to pump the 3 days I work ( she recieves 2 four to five oz bottles of ebm while I'm at work - and then I exclusively bf the 4 days I am home. She seems satisfied after she nurses and is a happy and content baby all around - I'm just concerned that she doesn't weigh more at this point considering she was 9 pounds when she was born - I think my oldest had nearly doubled her birth weight at 4 mo , so even though the pediatrician told me she was fine I could use some extra reassurance !
