Rock Of Ages Tickets
More than eight hundred air-guitarists, including some of the most devoted fans in the audience, created an impromptu ensemble following a Rock of Ages matinee performance on July 1, 2009. This spur of the moment expression of their shared love of Rock made this ensemble the largest ever to perform simultaneously, even setting a new Guinness World Record for the Largest Air Guitar Ensemble; the previous record was held by an ensemble of 440 people. Rock of Ages is a musical for die-hard devotees of rock such as these!

Rock of Ages is a jukebox/rock musical that premiered in Los Angeles, California, at the Vanguard Hollywood in 2006. Laura Bell Bundy of Legally Blonde was cast as Sherrie in this production. The musical played off-Broadway from '08 to '09 and is currently being shown at the Brooks Atkinson Theater on Broadway. The stage-book for the musical was written by Chris D'Arienzo and is made around the most enduring Rock songs of the eighties; songs by the most celebrated glam metal bands that became global hits in their time. Rock of Ages is popular not only for the music and dance numbers but also for its "letting the hair down" quality—the actors frequently bring down the proverbial fourth wall during the play and direct their comments at the audience. The effect is an aura of intimacy, adding to the comically inclined, lighthearted tone of the play.
The story revolves around Drew who works in the "Bourbon Room" to make a living while he dreams of being noticed in the world of showbiz for his talent as a rocker. He meets Sherrie, an aspiring actress also works in the same Hollywood club/bar. The two nurture each other's ambition and passion for Hollywood, as they also become part of the battle to preserve Sunset Strip. German developers Hertz and Franz are threatening to demolish the legendary locale and replace it with something that promotes a "clean" lifestyle. Drama ensues but poetic justice prevails. Intermittently, rock classics punctuate the story. Songs such as "We built this city," "Wanted dead or Alive," "I Want To Know What Love is," " Just Like Paradise," and "Harden my Heart," are some of the hits that make up the show.
Rock of Ages includes songs from the bands Styx, Poison, Journey, Jon Bon Jovi, Asia, Pat Benetar, Twisted Sister and Steve Perry among many others, totaling to more than twenty originals. Directed by Kristin Hanggi and choreographed by Kelly Devine, Rock of Ages has received five Tony nominations: Best Musical, Best Direction of a Musical for Kristin Hanggi, Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for Constantine Maroulis, and Best Costume Design for Gregory Gale in addition to Best Sound Design for Peter Hylenski. The musical has also received two nominations from Outer Critics Circle Award. The film rights to the musical have been sold to New Line Cinema, so a film version may already be in the works. Rock of Ages is a spunky, well made musical that excites Rock fans of all ages.

Judge Susan Bolton granted an injunction on Wednesday, which blocked certain key elements of the Arizona's Immigration Enforcement Law.
Obama views this injunction as a political win for him. Obama believes this ruling by Judge Bolton brings him closer to the day when he can grant amnesty to the illegal immigrants in the United States and convert them to legal Democratic party-line voters.
Amnesty was not popular among We the People during the Bush Administration. Amnesty will be far less popular during the Obama Administration.

This post was really fun to read! It will not, however, deter me from taking advantage of the opportunity to go shopping for a fancy dress should the need ever, ever arise. It looks fabulous on you–if it weren't for the lack of sequins and tulle, I would never guess that it was homemade :)

Police said a 61-year-old homeless man suffered life-threatening injuries when he was beaten outside downtown near the Capitol.
The Madison Police Department said a significantly injured man was found on a North Pinckney Street sidewalk early Tuesday across the street from the State Capitol.
A witness, who had been sleeping on a nearby bench, told police he awoke to see another man battering the 61-year-old in the head at about 2:30 a.m.
Officials say Justin T. Brooks, 32, of Madison was arrested after witnesses to the attack were interviewed.
Brooks is tentatively charged with one count of attempted homicide, according to the release.
According to the report, the man was sleeping in the area at the time of the assault.
"We don't believe that there's any danger to the public because of this incident," said Joel DesPain, Madison Police Department spokesperson. "It was very targeted. It was someone who was sleeping downtown and someone came up and began to batter him and specifically targeted him."
For many of Madison's homeless residents, the benches and sidewalks near the Capitol are their homes.
That's where Ed Fiorito, a friend of the victim, lives.
Fiorito said he was shocked to hear one of his neighbors had been attacked.
"This cop comes up to me at 5 in the morning and wakes me up. He says 'what are you doing.' I said 'sleeping.' He said 'what do you know about what happened on the Capitol square? Somebody got beat up bad, real bad there," said Fiorito.
Officials said the victim has significant, life-threatening head injuries and has not regained consciousness.
"I want my buddy to be OK. He may die. He's clinging to his life in the hospital," said Fiorito.
Area residents say the incident hasn't scared them away from downtown.
"I don't feel nervous coming down here," said Rick Gilbertsen. "I haven't had any confrontations or incidents with anyone."
"I actually walked home from a friend's house really late last night and I felt fine," said Savanna Jensen.

It should be a great game to watch.
I must say though, it's really saddening to see what George Karl is going through during his third battle with cancer. He always seems to present himself as a respectful and caring man who really loves this game, and his bouts with cancer never seem to knock him down. The treatment he's undergoing is so intense and brutal, I really wish him the best and I hope to see him come back stronger than ever. Even with receiving treatment, he wants to be with his team. Now that's a leader.
Competition is competition, but the Nuggets have had it rough. It's never easy losing a leader, and they are really looking forward to his return. 5-2 in his absence is sure a good way to show your coach that you're still fighting hard.

Ever since the first tolling of " You've Got Mail" from America Online, email has become a standard part of our lives, both personally and in business. Checking email has become a typical part of everyday life. For example, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, more than 90 percent of Internet users between 18 and 72 said they send and receive email, making it the top online activity just ahead of search engines. Another example: According to a study by the American Management Association, U.S. workers spend an average of 1 hour and 47 minutes per day dealing with email alone.
We could produce statistic after statistic saying the same thing. But the bottom line is this:
Email is a part of nearly everyone's life. The problem is that it's also becoming a burden to time management and productivity. One of the culprits behind this is email clutter.
No, clutter isn't restricted to your living space or place of work—it's present in the digital world, too. There are several things you can do to keep a cluttered email box from ruling your day and getting back to a productive, well-managed lifestyle and workday:

Lawmakers' support sought for new maple gradingThe Associated Press | February 14,2013WESTFIELD — Vermont lawmakers are once again considering whether the state should adopt a new international grading system designed to help consumers when they buy maple syrup.
The grades were designed by the International Maple Syrup Institute.
All syrup sold at retail would carry a Grade A label, followed by a color and flavor descriptor. From lightest to darkest these new grades would be: golden color and delicate taste; amber color and rich taste; dark color and robust taste; very dark color and strong taste.
The state Agriculture Agency and the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers Association back the changes. The agency is seeking support from the Vermont Legislature in the form of a resolution endorsing the changes.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

Sea hares are hermaphrodites who really like to share the love. During mating, each sea hare serves as both a male and a female to different partners simultaneously, creating a long chain that can yield millions of eggs.
This is the '70s swinger of the sea slug world—the sea hare.
Named for the rabbit-ear-shaped growths on its head, these floppy rhinophore tentacles actually are the creature's nose, which it uses to find food and mates.
It floats gracefully through the water on its two wing flaps, seemingly without a care.
And why not? It's toxic, making it extremely unpopular with predators.
It dines on algae and seaweed, available everywhere.
And when it's time to mate, it calls up everyone in its little black book. Everyone.
Sea hares are hermaphrodites.
The first sea hare acts solely as a female, and is mounted by a second sea hare...who acts as a male to the first and female to a third...and so on down the line, to the last hare, who acts only as a male.
A pregnant sea hare will lay spaghetti-like strands of millions of eggs, anchored for safety to the kelp beds.

In school you learned all about a few basic concepts that prepared you for a lifetime of barely understanding the simplest things in this complicated world. It wasn't much, but it's all you have. And we're about to take that away from you. Don't think we're condescending. It turns out we don't understand a goddamn thing anymore either, and frankly, we are sick of it. Time to rage-quit this whole thinking business and get back to hitting things we don't understand with sticks. First up on the old stick-list is ...

5 Water Is the Weirdest Substance on Earth
FU/amanaimagesRF/amana images/Getty Images
What You Were Taught
It's the most basic and abundant compound you can think of, making up most of the world's surface and your body. Surely we've got water, if nothing else, pinned down.
Alexander Gospodinov/iStock/Getty
We're especially good at turning it into pee.
But Really ...
Water doesn't behave like any other chemical. We've discussed before the various ways that you can make water do magic, and these things are possible only because water is a maverick that plays by its own rules. It would likely wear a sexy leather jacket, if we could get the bastard to stay in form long enough.
For example, a very simple principle of matter is that a liquid fills less volume when it freezes into a solid. That's because the molecules are closer together, which is why it gets hard (although strangely, ladies, if we get closer together and something gets hard, the volume only goes up). But water, unlike anything else, actually expands when it freezes, as you'll know if you've ever had a beer explode in the freezer after forgetting about it. This is why ice cubes float -- unlike any other substance, the frozen version is lighter and less dense than the liquid version.
Jesper Strandgaard Mortensen/iStock/Getty
Much to the Titanic's dismay.
Why? Nobody knows. It's been a mystery to science ever since Science first graduated from Science School. There are complicated theories, but none of them are a slam dunk. In fact, despite the fact that water is the most ubiquitous substance, we know embarrassingly little about it. Why is ice slippery? Fuck if science knows that one either.
That's not where water's mysteries end, either. For some reason, hot water freezes faster than cold water. That is to say, if you take a glass of hot water and a glass of cold water and put them both in the freezer at the same time, the hot water will turn to ice before the cold water does. It's called the Mpemba effect, because it was discovered by a Tanzanian high school student named Erasto Mpemba in 1969. Actually, it was first discovered by Aristotle, but that guy was getting all the glory anyway, and Mpemba really needed a win.
RembrandtDownloadPhotos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
Plus, Aristotle was notorious for making shit up.
Again, the reason for this is completely unknown. We're just going to have to assume that water is some kind of sorcery and hope that the warlocks in charge of it are not angered by the fact that we poop in their magic every day.
4 Time Is Relative and May Not Even Exist
Alexey Klementiev/iStock/Getty Images
What You Were Taught
Things you did are in the past, things you're going to do are in the future, things you're doing right now are currently happening no matter how hard you wish you could return that stolen cop car, and, barring the misuse of a DeLorean, we're all moving along in one direction at the same speed.
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
Old. We're all moving in the direction of old.
But Really ...
When physicists are doing their eggheady equations about the nature of reality, they don't factor time into it. Why? Because time doesn't matter to them. Equations work just the same if time goes forward, backward, or sideways. In fact, as far as physics is concerned, time is pretty much an illusion.
Of course, it's hard to say that time is an illusion if we all experience it the same, but here's the kicker: We don't. According to Einstein, we experience time at relative speeds. By infinitesimal amounts, someone who is sitting down is actually aging more slowly than someone who is running a marathon. It's not just a thought experiment with no real-world consequence -- GPS satellites have to account for time relativity to work properly, because time is literally moving more slowly on the satellite than it is on Earth. That means that scientists working on the International Space Station return to Earth younger than their colleagues on the ground, because time moves more quickly on Earth than it does in space. It's an almost immeasurably small amount, of course, but that doesn't stop them from being smug about it at your 40th birthday party, does it?
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
You can at least remind them of how fat they were.
Then there's the fact that nobody really knows why time seems to move in only one direction to us, because as far as physics is concerned, the "arrow of time" is irrelevant to studying physical processes -- math doesn't need time (math got aaalll the time in the world for you, baby). In that sense, the fact that we can remember the past but not the future seems to be entirely arbitrary. Scientists have spent a lot of brainpower trying to figure out why that is, but they're only human, abstract concepts are pretty difficult, the new PlayStation looks awesome, and we haven't made much progress on this whole time thing. You don't need a scientist to understand how that formula works.

Freedom New Mexico
Freedom of speech and academic freedom prevailed last week when a deeply religious man — some call him a zealot — delivered a speech at the U.S. Air Force Academy after an intensive campaign to censor him by government force.
Retired Marine Lt. Clebe McClary spoke at an Air Force Academy prayer luncheon Thursday, a day after U.S. district Judge Christine Arguello dismissed a lawsuit that asked the government to intervene and stop the talk. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation filed the suit, along with Associate Professor of Economics David Mullin and several other unnamed faculty members.
The plaintiffs complained that McClary, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, would use the speech to push Christian faith on Academy employees and cadets who feared retribution if they did not attend. The private event was sponsored by academy chaplains, not commanders. Academy brass went out of their way to convey that attendance was optional because of the event's religious nature.
Plaintiffs balked, arguing that retribution for nonattendees was imminent and real. If that's true, a majority of cadets and faculty had better watch out. Retirees comprised half the audience. Most faculty members did not attend.
In her ruling Wednesday, Judge Arguello characterized claims of retaliation as "speculative and hypothetical." Mullin testified he hadn't suffered retribution for skipping previous prayer luncheons.
An attorney for the plaintiffs argued that Arguello's "speculative and hypothetical" comment may prohibit anyone from seeking a court's help if he or she fears retribution without having suffered it.
So let's get this straight. Plaintiffs wanted a judge to censor the speech on a basis of potential content and theories about bad things that could happen to nonlisteners, even though federal law forbids any such retaliation. This was not an effort to censor on a basis of past behavioral patterns but on a basis of speculation, fear and hypothesis.
Thank God the judge ruled as she did. It is frightening to envision a government that would exercise prior restraint based only on what some believe could happen to those who don't attend a speech. To call this legal maneuver a stretch would be too polite.
As it turns out, McClary delivered an innocuous speech about the freedom of overcoming adversity and the advantages of choosing a great spouse — just as his defenders had predicted. It was a motivational speech in which McClary expressed love for his faith. Other speakers talked about Allah, the Torah and Buddha.
The benign nature of McClary's speech doesn't matter. McClary had a right to show up and talk incessantly about Jesus and nothing else. We are loath to censor expression in this country, even if it is highly offensive and controversial. Even pornography gets protection. Our embrace of free expression is the reason Mullin, a government employee, will almost certainly keep his job — and should — after suing his employer.
The Academy commanders and chaplains should be applauded for standing their ground and defending free speech — as we would expect our military to do.
A college does not endorse a message by hosting the speaker. If that were the case, few could speak. By hosting — whether it's Billy Graham or the radical leader of an Islamic Jihad — an academic institution facilitates learning and the free exchange of ideas. Interfere with that and we assault the First Amendment, which protects our country's most sacred rights.

This year will mark the 117th annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC.) The CBC is the longest-lived and largest citizen-science project in the world.
The count began in 1900. It was the brainchild of Frank Chapman, one of the officers of the fledgling Audubon Society. Chapman created the "bird census" as an alternative to the traditional Christmas "side-hunt," a contest where groups would shoulder their arms and hit the fields and/or woods — the team that came back with the greatest number of corpses would be declared the winner.

Visitors of Lucky 13 Salon may recognize the artwork of Aaron Troyer — he's the artist behind one of the Clintonville salon's wall murals. Or maybe you've seen the Ohio State alumnus at 83 Gallery, where his work has been on display.
This weekend marks the artist's first solo show at open-space-turned-occasional-gallery It Looks Like It's Open Gallery.
Troyer's layered landscapes are like an illustrative imagination's backyard. They are spaces in which one could happily lose her mind.
"I will usually have a loose idea about the composition of a piece, but I do very little planning and prefer to work spontaneously," Troyer said.
His materials — gouache, water color and ink wash — are also unpredictable and spontaneously chosen.
"I enjoy this aspect of the medium because it guarantees a unique outcome with each piece. With any experimentation, there are some failures," he said. "I will often use segments of abandoned works as collage materials for more fortunate drawings."
This weekend's show will display about 50 of Troyer's favorite pieces. (The gallery opening is Saturday; however, Troyer said he will be at the space from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday as well.) Most of the works will be for sale for $40 to $100.
"Honestly, my main inspiration is the enjoyment that I get from the process. I love to draw and mess around with inks and different materials just to see what happens," Troyer said. "It took me a while to really find a solid direction for my work, but I've been pretty happy with my progress over the last few years."

Tim Kabat and Doug Farmer are moving on in the race to be La Crosse's next mayor. The two survived a crowded primary field of 11 candidates.
Kabat, 2,670 votes, earned 42% of the vote. Farmer, 1,400 votes, earned 22%.
Both men say they bring the experience needed for the job.
"What I've heard from voters is they're tired of the mayor and the council not getting along," said Kabat, the current executive director of Downtown Mainstreet Inc.
"They want the two groups to get together to (find) solutions for the city and that's really what I'm going to try to do," he added.
"I think we'll keep stressing experience because I think people want the mayor's office to work," said Farmer.
"They want city hall to work and that's what (I'm) going to stress," Farmer added.
In other municipal races, Nic Breidel and Ryan Cornett move on in the La Crosse City Council District 3 race. Scott Neumeister and Dempsey Miller III move forward in the La Crosse City Council District 2. Richard Becker and Peg Jerome are moving on in the La Crosse City Council District 10.
The Spring Election is on April 2, 2013.

For Immediate Release
December 28, 2007
State Board of Education working with local districts to improve technology training through online courses
More than 340 teachers learning how to better bring technology into the classroom
SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) announced today that more than 340 teachers in 26 districts statewide will be participating in a series of in-depth, online courses focused on bringing technology into the classroom. The classes, which begin in January, are an integral part of the Illinois Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) grant program, which aims to improve access to technology and to provide technology integration training to teachers and students in the state.
"The explosion in technological development means that we are trying to prepare many of today's students for future careers. That's why integrating technology into the classroom is important," said State Superintendent Christopher A. Koch. "Our students need to be technologically literate in order to be successful in and beyond the classroom. That foundation starts with our teachers and these courses are valuable tools for their professional development."
The federal EETT grant will help districts train teachers on how to mix advanced technology with everyday classroom learning. The grant also funds ongoing professional development that focuses on new trends in the technology arena. The primary goal is to help teachers grow, and in turn, improve student achievement.
The online education courses are available through PBS TeacherLine, a nationally recognized online learning community that is funded by the U.S. Department of Education. TeacherLine provides online professional development through more than 130 content-courses, such as reading, science and math. All classes are aligned with both Illinois and national learning standards. In addition, all courses will be facilitated by specially trained veteran teachers from Illinois.
Teachers can also participate in PBS TeacherLine and International Society for Technology in Education's (ISTE) Certificate of Proficiency Capstone Program, an intensive three-course online professional development curriculum. The program includes two 15-week, 45-hour online classes.
All teachers taking the online courses can earn either graduate college credit with an approved university or earn continuing education unit (CEU) credits and continuing professional development unit (CPDU) credits. Illinois public school teachers are required to participate in continuing education and professional development in order to renew their teaching certificate.
The EETT grant is a three-year competitive grant that was awarded in 2005-2006. The 26 districts who received the EETT grant are:
- Aurora East Unit School District 131, Aurora
- Benton Community High School District 103, Benton
- East St. Louis District 189, East St. Louis
- Brooklyn Unit District 188, Lovejoy

Rookies Running Wild!
Today has been so much fun, and now it all gets better from here. With Spring Training officially over, the regular season is about to start. I had the greatest pleasure of watching the Yankees play an exhibition game against the Future Stars. It was great – no matter who won, the Yankees would win! As it turned out, it was the Big Boys who came out on top. I got a little confused at the end of the game, because the Yankees put in all their rookies. So it was the Future Stars versus the rookies! For all of you who know me, you know I just LOVE rookies. Today was especially fun for me.
It was a good day all around. I don't think anyone cared about the final score: Yankees 9, Future Stars 6. In fact, the rules hardly applied to this game. Marcus Thames was randomly thrown into the lineup without replacing anyone. His home run in the 5th was a monster shot.
I had the pleasure of watching Jesus Montero again today, who I don't hate anymore. How could I? I only hated him because I thought he was a threat to Cervelli's job. But Cervelli is safe for now, so I can now freely love Montero. He is cute…always, ALWAYS smiling! He reminds me a little of Melky Cabrera with his smile. And he's good too, getting 2 hits today: a powerful double and a line-drive single. If I wasn't falling for him before, I am now…he's so muscular…and young…ooh-la-laa😉
Nice muscles ;)….
There's the smile :)….
Ooh and he's a goofball too? Aw…
Okay. Before when I said, "If I wasn't falling for him before, I am now…" well, that's somewhat of a lie now. I HAVE FALLEN FOR HIM. I thought you should just know this…
Remember how I was all depressed that Melky was gone? Well today, I was pleasantly surprised. As they showed the lineup for the Future Stars, a name caught my eye: Melky Mesa. Then the "Oh my God"s rampantly flew from my mouth. I could not wait to get a glimpse of him. When I saw him at-bat, I realized he didn't look anything like the Melky I love. But I guess that's okay. He is a different person…a different Melky…but I hope I can still love him the same. Like I said before, he looks different than Cabrera, but I can't say that I'm disappointed at all. He's still a cutie.
Here he is, the new Melky: Melky Mesa
Melky Mesa…mmm…skin a little darker than Cabrera's, body a little thinner…but same youthful demeanour. I'm pulling for this kid all the way. ♥♥♥
I can't get over how much fun today was for me. Aside from assessing the rookies' looks, I assessed their skills! One player I think will be very very good is reliever Jonathan Ortiz. He has a very unorthodox delivery that creates deception. From the little I saw of him, I think he's going to be special. Mark my words. I've "scouted" other players in the past too…like Ramiro Pena.
Ortiz will be good! I know it!
Spring Training, and especially today, was a blast. But now the real thing is here! The war is about to begin….and luckily, my Yankee warriors are back to good health. Cervelli will be okay, as well as Nick Johnson, Damaso Marte, and Alfredo Aceves. This is good…now, the Yankees will be able to deploy their finest, strongest, best warriors on the battlefield of Fenway tomorrow.
I'll be there in spirit boys, just like I always am🙂
The 2010 season…I just can't believe it is really here!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!! The quest for #28 starts tomorrow!
Here we go again🙂
Go on, boys. Make this momma proud.

I can't believe the season is finally starting. Sooo excited. And I'm glad you don't hate Montero anymore. He's really good (and, yes, he has a cute smile). It was fun watching the rookies today, but you could tell how badly the veterans wanted to get on that plane and leave Florida.
I L-O-V-E rookies!! They're like babies and so fun to watch. It's exciting to see them blast those homeruns and diving for the ball. Oh man, regular season is just around the corner!! We waited way too long and it's finally going to pay off! Good luck to your Yankees🙂
Your probably all tuckered up with snacks and drinks watching the pre-game celebrations at this point, just itching for the first pitch, then you won't be able to sleep tonight,🙂 Virginia, it's all good fun, hope you have a good evening, by the way you were the only Yankees or BoSox fan to actually comment on my moronic ramblings about the 2 teams… funny the youngest is the bravest…. thanks…
Phillies Outside
The boys of Summer are back! Is a beautiful time of the year!

Effect of timing of umbilical cord clamping of term infants on maternal and neonatal outcomes
Changing the timing of cord clamping and cutting from immediately after delivery of the baby to 1–3 minutes after delivery of the baby improves the iron status of the infant. Potential adverse effects on the infant of delayed cord clamping and cutting, such as jaundice requiring phototherapy, should be considered, especially in under-resourced settings.
RHL Commentary by Abalos E
The timing of cord clamping and cutting is frequently regarded as one of the components of active management of the third stage of labour (other components are administration of a prophylactic uterotonic at or after delivery of the baby, controlled cord traction and uterine massage). However, there is no consensus on the precise meaning of the word "early" in this context. Trials evaluating active management of the third stage of labour have used a variety of definitions of early cord clamping and cutting, ranging from immediately after delivery of the baby to up to one minute after birth. The same confusion also exists with regard to the definition of "late" or "delayed" cord clamping and cutting. These terms are generally understood to mean a delay of 2–3 minutes after birth, or when cord pulsation has ceased. However, their exact definition remains unclear.
The precise timing of clamping and cutting the umbilical cord may be important as there is some evidence of potential benefits for the baby when the cord is not clamped and cut immediately after birth. Physiological studies have shown that there is a transfer from the placenta of about 80 ml of blood at 1 minute after birth, reaching about 100 ml at 3 minutes after birth (1, 2). These additional volumes of blood can supply extra iron amounting to 40–50 mg/kg of body weight. When this extra iron is added to the approximately 75 mg/kg of body iron that a full-term newborn is born with, the total amount of iron can reach 115–125 mg/kg of body weight, which may help prevent iron deficiency during the first year of life (3). On the other hand, there is also evidence to suggest that delayed umbilical cord clamping and cutting may put newborns at a higher risk of polycythemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and other neonatal disorders (4). Regarding maternal outcomes, there is very little evidence to suggest that the timing of cord clamping and cutting has an impact on the incidence of postpartum haemorrhage. The objective of this Cochrane review was to determine the impact of different policies related to the timing of cord clamping and cutting on the mother and her newborn (5).
All relevant available trials have been included in the review. The methods used in the evaluation of trial quality and analyses of data were adequate.
Participants in the trials were generally healthy pregnant women giving birth vaginally. Among the included trials, one study (Argentina) also included some women who gave birth by caesarean section. In one trial in India, the women were anaemic, and the trial in Zambia was conducted in a malaria-endemic area. The timing of early cord clamping and cutting was consistent between studies at less than one minute (mostly within 15 seconds of birth). The timing of late clamping and cutting was variable (one trial had more than two arms): 1 minute in two trials (106 women in the late cord clamping and cutting arm); 2 minutes in one trial (237 women); 3 minutes in three trials (577 women); delayed until the cord stop pulsating in three trials (132 women); delayed until the cord stopped pulsating or 5 minutes in one trial (483 women); and after placental descent in two trials (108 women). Six trials (out of 11) did not specify either use or timing of any uterotonic. Use of uterotonic drugs was variable in the studies reporting this intervention (before cord clamping and cutting at delivery of the anterior shoulder, or after cord clamping and cutting).
The review includes 11 trials, involving 2989 mothers and their babies. Five of these trials (involving 2236 women and infants) had investigated differences between early and late cord clamping and cutting in terms of risk of postpartum haemorrhage. There was no significant differences between the two groups in these trials. Only two trials had measured other maternal outcomes, such as risk of blood transfusion, manual removal of placenta, or duration of the third stage of labour. No differences between the two groups were found for those outcomes. For the baby, there was a significant increase in newborn haemoglobin levels (weighted mean difference 2.17 g/dL; 95% CI 0.28–4.06) in the late cord clamping and cutting group compared with early cord clamping and cutting group (three trials, 671 mother–baby pairs), although this effect did not persist past 6 months. Infant ferritin levels remained higher in the late clamping and cutting group than the early clamping and cutting group at six months. No significant differences were found in other neonatal outcomes such as Apgar score less than seven at 5 minutes (two trials, 1342 neonates), admission to special care baby nursery or neonatal intensive care unit (three trials, 1293 infants), respiratory distress (four trials, 1387 infants), polycythaemia (three trials, 463 infants), or clinical jaundice (five trials, 1828 infants). In spite of the latter, however, significantly more infants (relative risk 0.59; 95% CI 0.38–0.92) in the late cord clamping and cutting group required phototherapy for jaundice than in the early cord clamping and cutting group (five trials, 1762 infants). These results were influenced by a large unpublished trial (Mc Donald 1996, PhD thesis) in which late cord clamping and cutting was done when cord pulsation had ceased or at 5 minutes if cord pulsation had not ceased.
The trials included in this review were performed in Argentina, Australia, Canada, India, Libya, Mexico, United Kingdom, USA and Zambia. Hence, the findings of the review can be expected to be applicable to all settings where births are attended by skilled health-care providers.
This is a low-cost intervention. It would require some training of health-care providers, especially in the detection of signs or symptoms of respiratory distress or other neonatal complications requiring immediate care. All trials were hospital-based, however, and available evidence comes from deliveries performed by trained staff. In WHO recommendations for management of the third stage of labour (6), the term skilled attendant is defined as "…health professionals who have been educated and trained to proficiency in skills needed to manage normal labour and delivery, recognize the onset of complications, perform essential interventions, start treatment and supervise the referral of mother and baby for interventions that are beyond their competence or are not possible in the particular setting. Depending on the setting, health-care providers such as auxiliary nurse-midwives, community midwives, village midwives and health visitors may also have acquired appropriate skills, if they have been specially trained".
In settings where active management of the third stage of labour is the norm, it should be easy to change the timing of cord clamping and cutting from immediately after delivery of the baby to 1–3 minutes after the delivery of a healthy term infant. Implementation of this intervention would be particularly relevant in under-resourced settings, where access to good nutrition is limited during childhood. To counter the possibility of over-transfusion of blood to the baby (as a result of contraction of the uterus after administration of a uterotonic drug), the administration of a prophylactic uterotonic as part of active management of the third stage of labour could be delayed to after clamping and cutting the cord. Education and training of health-care staff would be necessary to ensure that they have the skills to implement these interventions. Potential adverse effects on the well being of infants, such as jaundice requiring phototherapy, would need to be considered. Early clamping should be performed if the baby requires immediate resuscitation.
There is a need to conduct randomized controlled trials for women delivering at home, irrespective of the development status of the country. Contribution of timing of the umbilical cord as part of active management of the third stage of labour package should be determined in terms of maternal outcomes such as postpartum haemorrhage and maternal morbidity. Short- and longer-term neonatal and infant outcomes, such as neurodevelopment, need to be evaluated. Future research should also be aimed at women's views related to this intervention.

EPA to check out more homes in pesticide incidentSeptember 27,2013
MONTPELIER — The Environmental Protection Agency is working with the state of Vermont to determine if more Rutland County homes were contaminated with a banned pesticide that the state believes was used by a pest control company.
High levels of the chemical chlorpyrifos, banned since 2001, have forced six households to relocate; five others have been advised to move.
Vermont health officials think more homes may have been contaminated by the chemical that they believe was used to treat bed bugs, Vermont Public Radio reports. The chemical can cause nervous system and developmental disorders.
North Clarendon exterminator Cary Buck has denied using chlorpyrifos; he told authorities he hasn't used it in eight or nine years. But officials said they've found overwhelming evidence that he has used the pesticide more recently. The Vermont Agency of Agriculture suspended his exterminator license in June.
Tom Condon of the Environmental Protection Agency's Boston bureau said dozens of EPA field agents will help with the testing of homes and to set up a database on the cases.
"This is unusual for us in that under most situations we're dealing with contamination in the environment. This is indoor contamination that puts it in a special and unusual category for us," he said.
Health officials believe they have identified the worst contaminated residences and that no one was become sick, said Joanne Calvi, district director for the state Health Department's Rutland office.
Finding temporary housing for the affected households has been a challenge, she said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

Traps have apparently become wolf hunters' weapon of choice in Wisconsin.
New state Department of Natural Resources data shows hunters used traps to capture 174 of the 216 wolves taken between the wolf season's Oct. 15 opener and Nov. 30. Hunters shot 41 wolves with a gun and killed one wolf with a bow.
Monday marked the first day of the season hunters could use dogs to chase down wolves. DNR large carnivore specialist Dave MacFarland said no hunters using dogs had registered any wolves as of Monday afternoon.
All but one of the state's six wolf hunting zones have closed after hunters reached their kill limits in the areas. Hunters were 37 animals shy of their kill limit in the last open zone as of Tuesday morning.

Man faces another felony charge
BARRE — A Chelsea man accused of crashing his truck and taking off on foot, leaving two passengers seriously injured, after robbing the Roxbury Country Store last month was in court for another felony charge for the incident.
Kyle B. Larrabee, 19, pleaded not guilty in Washington County criminal court in Barre Thursday to felony possession of stolen property. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 10 years and a $5,000 fine.
Larrabee already is facing a felony burglary charge in Washington County and three charges in Orange County from the incident. Police say he and Eric Parker, 21, of Derby Line, burglarized three locations in February: Interstate Maintenance Corp. in Barre Town, a garage in Orange County, and the store.
Police say that while Larrabee and Parker were burglarizing the Roxbury Country Store, owner Randy Whitney caught them and tried to hold them down, but the two got away. The truck taht Larrabee was driving, according to police, crashed into a guardrail on Route 66 in Randolph, and Larrabee reportedly ran off.
Police said a passenger, Stephanie Demar, 21, of Barre, suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H. Parker had serious facial injuries from the crash.
The latest charge for Larrabee stems from the items found in the crashed truck. Police say they found items in the bed of the truck that were reported stolen from Interstate Maintenance. Police say around $3,000 in equipment and tools was taken from the company.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Sometimes I did feed my bottlefeed baby mama milk every hour. They go through growth spurts too. But it was NOT 6 oz in a sitting.
That makes me think your bottle nipples let him have too much too quickly or they are too easy for him to suckle from.
My guy still takes 4 oz, but Im not feeding him that every 2 hours now. Usually, he topped out at 30-36 oz/day. There was the rare day just recently where he wanted 40+oz, but that was a fluke, and he only took it in 4 oz increments...just 10 times. But that is why you pump and pump and pump to start...I could stand on my potential supply and made it through.. And once they get to 6-7-8 months, solids can help with the pressure on your supply.
to all the unsupportive people.
I still think you should nurse this baby. You would not find yourself questioning yourself like this. You could just say to people, "I don't know. I'm breastfeeding!" and how can they argue with that?!

A Darlington man was arrested after an investigation into sexual exploitation of a child and child pornography revealed the man had several million images of child pornography, police said.
Police said Timmy J. Reichling, 46, was arrested Aug. 22 following the execution of a search warrant at his home where several electronic storage devices were seized.
Reichling was arrested on three counts of sexual exploitation of a child, three counts of being a registered sex offender who intentionally photographed a minor without consent and five counts of being in possession of child pornography. He was arraigned Tuesday and bail was set at $1 million.
The investigation started after a 13-year-old female told police a man started contacting her on the Internet and asked her to send naked pictures, according to the criminal complaint. The girl told police she started sending him pictures but when she wanted to stop he threatened to show the pictures to her family.
The girl told police she thought she was texting someone her age, according to the complaint. Reichling had contact with her for more than two years and used different names during their interactions.
According to the complaint, Reichling would leave a camera in her back yard nightly or every other night for her to take naked pictures of herself. The search warrant found several hundred images and videos of the female on Reichling's electronic storage devices.
"This remains an ongoing investigation," Wisconsin ICAC Task Force Commander, Special Agent in Charge Jenniffer Price said in a release. "We have reason to believe there are other possible juvenile victims who have yet to be identified, both in Wisconsin and out of state."
"There could be victims anywhere in this region or frankly, anywhere in this nation or even in this world that may not be able to be tracked down but we're going to do what we can," said Jason King, Darlington police chief.
Officials ask anyone with information to contact the Department of Justice - Divison of Criminal Investigation at 608-266-1671 or the Darlington Police Department at 608-776-4981.
The Lafayette County Sheriff's Department and Wisconsin Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation assisted with the search warrant.

|Warlock HQ. Could do with a makeover... ^^
We interrupt this barrage of Beta News to address an important question, posed by everyone's favourite upright mammal, Cynwise. He asks: Where did all the Warlocks go in Cataclysm? His answer is frankly spectacular. There are graphs, and statistics, plus a ton of proper maths. I cannot do it justice, and so I felt obliged to first bow before its awesomeness before offering a slightly more frivolous alternative response.
He informs us that Warlocks are less popular now than they were at the end of Wrath. They're not particularly hindered in the DPS department either, despite what the Naysayers in Trade will have you know. People are still levelling them too, but somewhere between rolling and Endgame, something happens and people stop. Cynwise concludes therefore with a simple answer to his question:
People don't like playing Warlocks. They're just not fun.
This would appear to be born out by the changes I'm seeing to Locks being implemented in Beta, but really I don't think this gets to the real root of the problem. I believe the answer to Cyn's question is far simpler to rationalise, and we should look instead to basic human psychology for an answer.
People don't like playing Warlocks because (in this game at least) they're the REAL Bad Guys.
'Hang on!,' I hear you cry, that's not how it works. We have two factions, and at any given point if you're in one you're likely to consider the other as the Bad Guys. It's Horde v Alliance or vice versa? Well, that's true to a point. Yes, we are conditioned from L1 to beat the stuffing out of each other, because that's a requirement for the basic Game Mechanics to operate. However, it's very rare that one side is ever the real enemy: there are atrocities on both sides, and over the years the lines between Horde and Alliance have often blurred and overrun. There is one uniting Source of All Evil however that crops up again and again, without fail, and has existed on Azeroth since The Sundering.
The Burning Legion.
Demons are dangerous, wherever you go. They've done the Big Bad gig on various occasions, they've corrupted all and sundry across Azeroth, Northrend and Outland, they're the Go-To Guys when you need summat to turn purple/green and smell nasty and Warlocks are their mates. Locks are the ones with the Fel/Shadow Energies at their disposal, and however you like to dress it up, they're one step away from the utter evil that consistently screws Azeroth on a daily basis, and I think this association is the real reason why they're never going to win the Azerothian Popularity Contest. However much the head of the player may consider their Warlock to be loyal to either Horde or Alliance, the environment pushes them back to being one step away from the thing we're told needs to be destroyed.
I have a Lock who I've staunchly stuck with almost as long as my Hunter: they were levelled to do Garr in MC, as it happens, back in the day when you would banish all of his adds and release them one at a time to kill them. In those early days the taint of long-term association didn't exist, we were all still finding our places in the World, and Locks had real skills to contribute. Over time as CC has become less important across all classes and players have instead considered those who are easiest to play as more preferable to those who rely on thought and understanding... well, Locks have never been a one button class, let's face facts. Playing Demo currently is not something you can do without thinking, but as Cyn points out and I know from practical experience that's not a reason for decline, it's just a reason for people to complain it's too hard. Pandaria brings some genuine and much-needed change for the class and one can only hope this will encourage people to grasp the potential... assuming they will look past the stigma.
In my mind I consider W the Lock as a long way away from Evil. I know what energies she is capable of wielding, and instead of picking shadow or demons as her weapons of choice it's always been fire for her, the least demonic of the three trees. I realise having read Cyn's awesome post that this is why I feel comfortable coming back to her, and I'd play her regardless of any facts that might indicate the class was in decline. If I role played, she would always make sure she was one step ahead of any corruption: if she felt herself moving to close to the Legion's influence she would be strong enough to walk away. Having killed so many demons in her time there is a clear distinction between what is Bad and what is Right, and I wonder if that only comes from having played long enough to be able to see a larger Game World picture. The Casual Lock might end up having some real issues separating out being Good against coming from the side that is so obviously Bad wherever you go...
Warlocks aren't bad, they were just wireframed that way. Maybe it's time to stop worrying about making them more fun, and instead we should be distancing them from the real enemies of Azeroth. Let's hope that in Pandaria we can find an enemy that's not being sponsored by the Burning Legion for its firepower... ^^
