I started my first child on solids around 6 months. I'm not sure when to start with my second.
I started my first child on solids around 6 months. I'm not sure when to start with my second.
I would go by what your child is telling you. I tried to start my daughter at six months, but she really didn't want to eat solids. She was showing intrests in our food, but not in actually eating her food. So you can always give it a try at six months and if the baby shows no interest, try again in a week or two. My daughter was ready by 8 months. Don't stress over exactly WHEN after the six month mark. You little one will know when he/she is ready!
We started experimenting a bit with solids around 6 months, but I'd say things didn't really get going until about 8 or 9 months when she could put things into her mouth by herself. She pretty much hated any cereals or pureed baby foods. We just waited until she could put soft peas, diced cooked carrots, etc in her mouth by herself.
i started rice cereal mixed with jarred fruit at 4 months. our BFing relationship is still great and he is now 6.5 months and on about two stage 2 jars and cereal for breakfast and two stage 2 jars without cereal for dinner. he is also eating fruit puffs, cherrios and chunked banana. he has had an isuue with his weight sonce birth. he stays out of the RED zone but is so borderlining it, so i felt he needed to start earlier and he was definitely ready!
feel your child out. 6 months is a good age to start if they will take it. this helps a little with a schedule as well, a more morning, afternoon, night thing. i know christian has been taking better naps, but still does night feedings which i don't mind.

We started offering DD solids at 6 months. Not pushing her, just making them available everyday. She is close to 7 months now and she is just starting to accept them. We are eating about a teaspoon or two a day. She had ALL the signs of readiness, except she wasn't interested in food. She is still figuring out how to lean forward and open her mouth at the same time. We started with bananas and the moved to sweet potatoes and then applesauce and oatmeal. Right now, she seems to prefer oatmeal!
About six months. We started with sweet potatoes, then pears and peaches I think. She was eating them once a day until around 10 months, at which point we stepped it up and added a meal (based on interest)
My son had absolutely no interest in solid food until he was almost 16 months old. Yes, 16 months old!
My only advice to you is listen to your child. If they aren't ready at 6 months, it's not a big deal. My breastmilk was able to sustain my big boy (off the growth charts until 18 months when he leveled out) for well over a year.
With my daughter, now 6, I did the Italian thing and at 4 months I let her try something (rice cereal, fruit) at one of the meals, while breastfeeding the rest of the time and the rest of the meal. She didn't like the cereals but she loved the fruit. She seemed ready though, she was really curious about food etc, and while she didn't seem to enjoy the cereal very much, she tried with without too much fuss, and she was really excited when we introduced fruits and veggies.
Now I'm expecting my 2nd and I don't have any specific plans, I think I'll play it by ear and see. If the baby seems happy breastfeeding exclusively I'll wait.
DD was almost 8 months before she started to reach out and grab stuff, which is when we figured it was time. Prior to that... around 5 months or so, she wanted a spoon, but if we gave her a plastic baby spoon to play with, she didn't want food - she was content with the spoon! So, it was almost 3 months later before she actually wanted the food. I was just of the opinion that if she's ready for it, she'll grab for it. In fact, I changed pediatricians when they tried to get me to start solids at 4 months... I told them that if they couldn't follow the guidelines of their own professional organization (the American Academy of Pediatrics says 6 months of only breastmilk or formula), then what else weren't they up to date on..? It concerned me...
Anyway, we've had no problems with food issues... I was told, by that same pediatric office, that if we didn't start her on solids at 4 months, she would have "food aversions"... ummmm... hardly!
First offered at 7 mo. Actually started being interested, 9 mo. Almost 1 yo and still waiting for her to eat on a regular basis.

Earth awareness
"Learning needs to be meaningful," asserts Brennan. "To be meaningful, the students have to see it in their world. John's programs bring the real world to our science curriculum. It gives our students the opportunity to experience, hands-on and concretely, what they learn about in the classroom. Learning also has to be fun. The best way to teach is to tap into their natural curiosity and enthusiasm and provide them with the means to make their own discoveries, which then only fuels their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning."
Brennan is quite pleased with the outcomes of the effort and looking forward to seeing her students harvest the fruits of their labor. "I am very impressed with John's depth of knowledge, his passion for the outdoors and his enthusiasm in sharing it with others," she said. "He brought his knowledge and skillfully communicated it to my students on their level. That fuels a natural excitement for learning in the children which hopefully will sustain itself and grow with them."

Highlights from Caravel's 43-42 win over Indian RiverGeorge Murray caught a game winning touchdown catch on the last play of the game to send Caravel back to the Division II state championship game in the Bucs' 43-42 win over Indian River Friday night.
The two teams were playing a rematch of last year's Division II state championship game, which Indian River won.
Scoring started in the first quarter with Indian River driving when Quarterback Marquel Knight ran for a 52-yard run for a touchdown and the early 7-0 lead.
The Bucs responded on the next drive, when Caravel's Darnell Savage, who scored 6 touchdowns last week, ran for a 24-yard touchdown to tie the game at 7-7.
Caravel made it a 7-point lead at the end of the period, when running back Pierce Ripanti ran it in for a 3-yard TD to put the Bucs up 14-7 heading into the 2nd Quarter.
A blocked punt gave Indian River great field position with under 5:31 left in the 1st half to set up a 1-yard run by Aaron Moore for touchdown that retied the game at 14-14.
Knight would intercept a pass on the ensuing drive that set up his 2nd touchdown of the game, a 1-yard run that put the Indians up 21-14 heading into halftime.
The Bucs tied the game again in the 3rd Quarter when Savage scored his 2nd Touchdown of the night on a 24-yard run to make it 21-21 with under 7 minutes to go.
But Jalen Griffin gave Indian River the lead on a 3-yard run to put his team back on top at 28-21 into the 4th Quarter.
Caravel faced a big 4th and 25 with under 7 minutes left to go but Bucs QB Derrick Groomes scrambled down the field for a Touchdown and the Bucs take a 29-28 lead on a two-point conversion.
However the advantage was erased on the kickoff when Moore took it down the sidelines for an 85-yard TD return, two point conversion good, to Indian River back in front 36-29.
Caravel answered on the next drive--Pierce Ripanti scored 19-yard TD run, two point conversion good, and the Bucs took a 37-36 with under three minutes to go.
Indian River was driving deep in Caravel territory with less than a minute remaining in regulation when Knight pushed his way to the goal line, where the ball just broke the plane on his 6-yard TD run. However, he would be stopped on the two-point conversion attempt, Indians take the lead at 42-37.
The last drive of the game saw Groomes connecting with Murray on a big pass that put Caravel on the 8-yard line.
Then with four seconds to go Groomes passed to Murray in the endzone, completing the pass out of bounds. However, a defensive holding penalty gave Caravel one more shot.
Groomes looked for Murray again, who pulled down the pass to seal the win at 43-42.

Banco Espírito Santo woes highlight banks' lost support
Portuguese lender Banco Espírito Santo has performed spectacularly badly since its €1 billion ($1.36 billion) rights issue in May. The thinly traded shares have tumbled 50% to below the level of what was a deeply discounted rights price.
The bank has been battered by financial problems and accounting irregularities in the network of companies linked to its biggest shareholder, which has spooked investors across Portugal's markets. However, it isn't alone in performing badly among freshly issued European financial stocks, as the sector fell again Thursday after shares in Banco Espírito were suspended.
One factor making banks' share prices vulnerable is the worry that a whole constituency of investors is getting out.
The final quarter of last year and the first quarter of 2014 attracted a wave of buying from non-European investors, mainly out of the US. That was inspired by a simple macroeconomic bet that eurozone policies would help kick-start some sort of recovery and that bank stocks were extremely cheap.
A series of bank rights issues and even some initial public offerings gave these investors the perfect chance to make some quick bucks by buying at a discount and then moving on within a few weeks or months, as confidence in banks returned and valuations rose.
US investors made up 50% or more of the demand for many stock sales, say bankers involved in the deals, but they add that their interest peaked in early May and has since waned. The MSCI European banks index has fallen 8% over the past month.
Of the six major rights issues by banks in Europe this year, all have seen share prices decline since the deals. Two of those, Banco Espírito and Raiffeisen Bank International of Austria, which is exposed to foreign-currency loans in Eastern Europe, are trading below where their rights issues were priced.
In Italy, Banco Popolare and Banco Monte dei Paschi di Sienna have seen their share prices fall steeply, while Banco Popolare di Milano saw its shares rise strongly for two weeks before falling back to where they started. Even Deutsche Bank, which increased the size of its deal because demand was strong, has seen its stock drift 10% lower since.
Floats of businesses that were cleaned up and spun off from larger banks at hefty discounts to book value haven't fared brilliantly either. TSB Banking Group in the UK and NN Group in the Netherlands saw good performance in their first days, but that was followed by quick profit-taking. UniCredit's FinecoBank has been trading only a week, but is showing similar symptoms.
Europe's recovery remains anemic at best, and the European Central Bank's room for manoeuvre is limited in providing further stimulus. Banks are always a leveraged expression of underlying economic health. Not every investor buys the US-led hot-money theory. But with more bad news emerging Thursday about Banco Espírito, investors don't need much of an excuse to go cool on banks across Europe once more.

I'm married with children, so the concept of personal privacy is one that I abandoned years go.
Even so, I was somewhat surprised to learn that I am at "high risk" for having my private health information breached. On a scale of zero to 60, with 25 being the threshold for high risk, I scored a fig-leaf-curling 40 on a new test intended to gauge my vulnerability to health-data thieves. The color-coded equivalent of a "40" is a retina-searing red, which seems to indicate that nefarious entities are making off with my blood-pressure readings as I type this sentence.
The epiphany of unsecured data arrives courtesy of Patient Privacy Rights, which on Wednesday released its new Health Privacy Risk Calculator. The quiz calculates risk according to users' answers to six questions. Unless you pay cash for everything, take no medications and forgo the customs of contemporary living, you too are at risk, according to PPR, which calls itself "the nation's leading health privacy watchdog."

Glowing umbrellas and art without authorship
There is a certain bubbly energy and excitement to improvisational art as opposed to a rehearsed performance. It's why some people might find an untamable solo by John Coltrane more intoxicating than the most flawlessly executed Mozart concerto.
That is the kind of energy that Pilobolus' Itamar Kubovy and the MIT robotics lab's Kyle Gilpin set out to capture with their stunningly beautiful Umbrella Project, conducted at PopTech 2012 in Camden. In addition to the spark of spontaneity, Kubovy and Gilpin wanted to add in group collaboration as an elixir. So the plan included 300 untrained volunteers. Plus a crane. Plus 300 glowing, LED-lit umbrellas.
A video short exploring the UP project appears below:
Pilobolus, the venerable performance art company, has been experimenting with unusual collaborations for years. But the UP project, as it is called, brought improvisation, cooperation and technology to a grand scale, and it resulted in a spectacular display.
Kubovy said the idea was to practice art ownership without authorship. He described the project as functioning with "absolutely no sense of hierarchy other than the one that gets expressed through the well-lubricated functioning of a good group."
PopTech hosted the collaboration, in which Gilpin's robotics lab festooned 300 opaque umbrellas with manually controlled LED lights that could switch to glow with different colors. Around 300 volunteers gathered one evening in Camden's outdoor amphitheater. A crane hovered high above with a live camera that fed to a giant movie-size screen. The screen allowed the participants to see their movements from above and navigate around relative to everybody else: In a crowd of 300 umbrellas, all you can see are the people and umbrellas directly around you.
Kubovy's colleague, Matt Kent, made suggestions over a loudspeaker, like, "Form into a star." But the directions were always vague, leaving the participants to figure out — collectively — how to navigate into shapes and designs, even spelling the word PopTech in colored umbrellas by looking up at the screen and cooperating.
The whole experiment was performed at night and set to music, creating a psychedelic feeling. And the excitement of the group grew so much that they burst out into spontaneous cheers and applause when the volunteers succeeded in creating a cohesive shape. If it had been rehearsed, the UP project never would have bubbled with that kind of magic.
Kubovy, Kent and Gilpin's PopTech 2012 explanation of the project appears below:

Jerusalem's 2 star hotels might not share the luxury and exclusivity of some of the city's other more prestigious locations, but what they lack in amenities they more than make up for in fantastic location for exploring the sights, sounds and smells of this intoxicating city.

Its interior is filled with Arabesque flourishes and Middle Eastern tilework, making it one of the most authentically Jerusalemite hotels in the city.
The Palatin Hotel offers easy access to Mahane Yehuda the bustling outdoor/indoor market, which is a staple of both the tourist map and local Jerusalemites' shopping trips. Several of the hotels including; the Zion and La Perle offer immediate access to the pedestrianized walkways of downtown Jerusalem and are conveniently located between the Old City and the Mahane Yehuda market.
Breakfast is served at each of the hotels, so wherever you choose to stay you will be able to fuel up before a busy day of sightseeing, exploration and shopping. For those visitors renting a car, only some of the hotels have parking facilities and of those who do, not all are complimentary for guests

Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics are a professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts playing in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. Founded in 1946 their 17 league Championships are the most for any franchise. From 1957 to 1969, the Celtics dominated the league winning 11 championships in 13 years, and eight in a row from 1959, the longest consecutive championship winning streak of any North American professional sports team. The Celtics either dominated the league or played a large part in the playoffs starting in the late 50's and continuing through the mid. The franchise returned to prominence in 2007 with it's 17th championship.
Boston Celtics Franchise history
The building of a dynasty The Boston Celtics were formed in 1946 as a team in the Basketball Association of America, and became part of the Basketball Association after the merger of the BAA and the National Basketball League in the fall of 1949. The Celtics struggled during their early years, until the hiring of coach Red Auerbach.
Boston Celtics The dynasty
In 1958, the Celtics again advanced to the Finals, this time losing to the Hawks in 6 games and began a dynasty that would last for more than a decade. In 1959 won the Championship after sweeping the Minneapolis Lakers. Still coached by Auerbach, the Celtics won seven more consecutive championships, extending their streak to eight in a row. The Boston Celtics of the mid-1950s–60s are widely considered one of the most dominant teams of all- time. The streak of 8 consecutive championships is the longest streak of consecutive championships in U.S. professional sports history.
Rebuilding the Celtics dynasty
The Bird era Bird debuted for the Celtics during the 1979–80 season, a year after his selection. In 1983–84 the Celtics finally get back to the Finals after a three year hiatus. In 1985, the Lakers and Celtics met again, but this time the Lakers took the championship. This was the first time the Lakers had defeated the Celtics for a championship, as well as the only time that the Celtics lost a championship at Boston Garden. In 1985–86 the Celtics fielded one of the best teams in history. The Celtics remained competitive in 1986–87 and again winning the Eastern Conference Championship. After thirteen seasons with the club and winning a gold medal in the Barcelona Olympics with the Dream Team, Bird retired in 1992 primarily due to his back injuries. The 2006 season began with the death of Red Auerbach at the age of 89 who was one of the few people who had been a part of the league since its inception in 1946.
Celtics Return to championship form
In the summer of 2007 the Celtics had a successful regular season, and complete the largest single-season turnaround in history, finishing with a league-best 66–16 record, 42 games better than the previous year's. The series continued and the Celtics took down the Pistons in six games, winning the deciding game on the road.

In support of the Obama Administration's all-of-the-above approach to American energy, the Energy Department today announced the investment of $3 million to 3M Company in St. Paul, Minnesota, to lower the cost of advanced fuel cell systems by developing cost-effective, durable, and highly efficient fuel cell components. The 3-year project will focus on boosting the performance of fuel cell systems for vehicles and stationary applications while driving down costs. These investments are a part of the Department's commitment to U.S. leadership in innovative fuel cell technologies that give American families and businesses more options to cut energy costs and reduce petroleum use.
"Advancing hydrogen and fuel cell technology is an important part of the Energy Department's efforts to support the President's all-of-the-above energy strategy, helping to diversify America's energy sector and reduce our dependence on foreign oil," said Energy Secretary Steven Chu. "This investment in Minnesota will help fuel technology breakthroughs, drive down costs, and bring innovative, job-creating clean energy technologies to market faster."
These projects are part of the Department's commitment to U.S. leadership in innovative fuel cells that give American families and businesses more options to reduce petroleum use. Fuel cells convert fuel—often in the form of hydrogen or natural gas—into electricity, cleanly and efficiently. Fuel cells can be used in a wide range of stationary, transportation, and portable-power applications—curbing harmful air pollution and enhancing energy security.
3M's project will focus on boosting the performance of fuel cell systems with an approach based on integrating of their state-of-the-art catalyst with membranes and other fuel cell components. Additional project partners include General Motors, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Michigan Technological University.
The Energy Department's hydrogen and fuel cell research and development program has led successful R&D efforts, resulting in more than 300 patents and bringing 30 products to market. At the same time, fuel cell durability has doubled and the cost of fuel cells has come down 30% since 2008.
To reduce costs, improve performance, and accelerate commercialization, the Energy Department has set industry targets for advanced vehicle technologies, including direct hydrogen fuel cell systems. The investments announced today support efforts to reach the target of 60% peak efficiency, $30 per kilowatt cost, and durability of 5,000 hours—equivalent to 150,000 miles of driving—by 2017.
The Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energyaccelerates development and facilitates deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and market-based solutions that strengthen U.S. energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality.

Any bartender knows that you never discuss politics or religion with customers; those topics are just too inflammatory for polite society. But there are so many other triggers out there. So many dangerous questions to be avoided. Most of them are even well-meaning, but are asked by people who can't step outside their own world view for a moment. Y'see, there are two things to remember when you're asking questions: The person you're speaking to might not be the same as you, and you might be an asshole.
"So what can I get the godless liberal today? Vodka, gin, or an on-demand abortion for your probably gay fetus?"
Here are five seemingly well-meaning questions that should probably be avoided.
5 Asking Someone Who Doesn't Own Their Residence: "Have You Considered Buying?"
Some of you might be too young, too rich or too poor to realize how much has changed in the last four years. The global recession is no joke, and most people outside of those extremes are hurting in a new and exciting way. (The very poor are still hurting in the same way.) Politicians call it the middle-class squeeze -- because politicians are stupid. But the point is, everything hit the fan a few years back. Unemployment rose, energy prices rose, services were cut and the real estate market fell apart.
Also, Fall Out Boy stopped making music.
Not surprising, rentals are way up, especially among people who lost their homes in the economic collapse or who currently hope to amass a down payment for a purchase. Now enter all those fortunate folks who haven't lost their homes. Maybe they're rich. Maybe their parents helped with a big initial down payment. Maybe they live somewhere less expensive, where home ownership is more feasible. There's a host of reasons why the last few years have not adversely affected them. And good for them. But they see the less fortunate struggling to pay rent, and they have a swell idea. A question to inspire: "Hey, have you considered buying?" And that's usually followed up with a statement. "Prices are way down; it's a great time to buy!"
Also, priceless Faberge eggs are now just really expensive.
Thanks. That never occurred to us. Probably because we all really get off sexually by throwing our money out the window every month for bare shelter while amassing no equity. We're short on cash, not brain cells. It doesn't matter how much prices fall; buying a home requires a down payment (now even more than before, given the last crisis). Yes, there are deals in a recession, but those are the deals that can be taken advantage of by people with cash. Given that we're in a recession, no one should assume that the person they're talking to is one of those people.
4 Asking Parents With Two Kids: "So, You're Done?"
It's funny. Most people avoid discussions of abortion, and with good reason. Even I, someone who likes to go on and on about the value of debate, draw a line on that one. Motivations are just too firmly entrenched to have a productive conversation. But almost no one seems to mind asking deeply personal questions about parents' procreative choices. My wife and I have three children: boy, girl, boy.
This is not us or them.
After my daughter was born, do you know how many people asked "So, you're done now, right?" The answer is ... I don't know, a lot of people. Was I supposed to keep notes about that sort of thing? I was playing with our new baby girl. I didn't know there'd be a final exam. Anyway, apparently I'm in the minority, but it never occurred to me that the purpose of procreation was to get a matching set.
Eeew, one's the wrong sex. Throw it back.
I have to assume that every single person who asks that question thinks that people only have three or more kids if they're trying to collect the Pog they haven't gotten yet. Personally, as the youngest of three boys myself, I like to pretend sometimes that my entire existence is not conditioned upon my father's X chromosome sperm swimming faster the previous two times out of the gate.
Simple rule of thumb: When it comes to when or how people are having their kids, don't assume anything.

11 NCAA Div. III individual championships
Heading into the fifth year of his tenure, women's track and field coach Joe Dunham is eager to build on Central College's recent accomplishments.
Central has placed third or better at the Iowa Conference championships 10 of the past 11 seasons, including the last seven straight. And the program has been buoyed by back-to-back top-20 NCAA Division III finishes at the outdoor national meet for the first time since the national championship era of the early '80s.
A number of impact athletes were lost to graduation, including all-Americans Morgan Darrow and Caitlin Wilson. But 17 letterwinners return for the 37-member Dutch squad, including senior all-Americans Felicia Coleman and Rachel Purdy.
"The success of the past several years has set the bar high," said Dunham. "The women we have now know what it takes to achieve at a high level. I'm excited to see what we're capable of this year."
Central has traditionally been strong in the sprinting events, and in 2013 returns one of its most decorated athletes in recent history. Coleman has re-written the Dutch record books in the short sprints, breaking four individual marks since 2011 in addition to four relay records. And in an early start to the 2013-13 indoor season in December, she cracked her own record in the 60-meter dash. Both Coleman and Purdy were members of the NCAA Div. III runner-up 4x400-meter squad in 2011.
"We are blessed to have great leadership in this group with Felicia and Rachel," said Dunham.
Central's sprints crew will also be bolstered by a trio of sophomore letterwinners in Taylor Beckman, Camie Kibbee, and Allie McBroom. Freshmen Melanie Nielson of Atlantic and Monica Ruiz of Hudson may also play a role.
"We have a talented group here with a good combination of youth and experience," said Dunham. "We're counting on them to be big contributors this year."
The Dutch will also benefit from new associate head coach Jim Fuller, former head coach at NCAA Division II Northern State University (S.D.).
"Jim has a great track record of success," said Dunham. "Our athletes have been responding well to him and I have no doubt he'll extend our prominence in this area."
As in previous years, the Dutch will rely heavily on its multi-eventers to be a factor in the jumping events. Sophomore Hillary Hotz was a two-time league placewinner in the high jump as a rookie and senior co-captain Morgan Sharp is an all-conference long jumper.
Sophomore Kaitlyn Gillett will dabble in the jumps and will be joined by freshmen Tess Ory of Earlham and Abby Saladino of Long Grove.
"We will have some new faces in this group and I'm excited to see how they develop," said Dunham.
The Central coaching staff will also be strengthened by the addition of Jay Rhoten. Rhoten is a former assistant coach and all-American for the Dutch.
"We are fortunate to have Jay back on our staff," said Dunham. "He was a great jumper here and will be a big boost for us in these events."
Dunham is optimistic about the Dutch hurdlers in 2013. Gillett returns after a solid rookie season and will be joined by transfers Meredith and McKenna Zimmerman of Urbandale. Saladino will also be a factor.
"This is an area where we have seen a lot of development over the past couple years," said Dunham." It should be one of the stronger parts of our program."
Middle distance
A young but experienced middle-distance group returns. Although the squad hasn't seen top-flight talent in recent years, the group has managed to score two consecutive all-conference finishes in the 4x800-meter relay.
Senior Amanda Lamb contributed to both all-league performances. In addition, sophomore Sarah Mueller and Emily Saville were on the team in 2012. Saville was also a placewinner in the 800 meters. Sophomore Alison Ranniger will join the squad this year, as well as freshmen Molly Bramble of Waukee and Elin Phipps of Boone.
"Many of these ladies are coming off a season of solid training in cross country," said Dunham. "They've put themselves in position to do well this spring."
Senior co-captain Mel McDermott will lead the charge for the distance crew. McDermott was an all-conference performer in cross country in the fall and has been a multiple-time league placewinner in the 5,000 and 10,000 meter runs.
"We are fortunate to have strong leadership from Mel," said Dunham. "She was a no-doubt choice for captain and makes everyone around her better."
Junior Emma Nelson will also be counted on to contribute. Nelson was consistently a top finisher in cross country and is a conference placewinner in the steeplechase. Sophomore Alyssa Eaves should play a factor, and they'll be joined by cross country letterwinner Mallory Welk and freshman Gabi Wilson of Urbandale.
"My hope is that these women can pick up where they left off after the cross country season," said Dunham. "There is a lot of potential in this group."
Multiple-time all-American and conference champion Darrow is not someone that can be replaced, but Dunham says the Dutch throwers shouldn't be overlooked. The group will be lean, but will welcome back senior Jess Fevold after missing last season due to injury.
"It's exciting to have Jess back for her fifth year," said Dunham. "I believe she is primed for a great season."
Fevold was a conference placewinner in the shot put and the weight throw in 2011. She will be joined by freshman April McCarthy of Stoughton, Wis.
Central will also welcome the addition of Brenda Fuller to the coaching staff. She was a highly successful throws coach at Northern State (S.D.).
"Numbers are down compared to what we are used to," said Dunham. "But we can still score some points here. Coach (Allan) Walz has done a great job the past few years and adding Brenda is a big boost. It is an exciting time to be a thrower at Central."
Multi-events have long been Central's calling card and Dunham doesn't expect anything to change in 2013. Although the Dutch lost an all-American in Wilson, the returning combined events group has solid credentials. Sharp was an all-league heptathlete in 2012 while Hotz was also a placewinner. They'll be joined by Gillett.
"Being a multi-eventer at Central has a lot of meaning and I think Coach (Jim) Fuller understands that," said Dunham. "We've relied on them at the conference and national meets and I'm confident they'll come through for us again."
Iowa Conference
Wartburg is expected to lead the pack in the conference again. Second place is up for grabs, and Dunham expects Luther, Loras, Simpson, and Central to be in the hunt.
"Our goal is always to finish as high as we can," said Dunham. "Winning the whole thing may not be in the cards this year, but it's something we've got our eyes on in the future."
It's difficult to make predictions for the national meet, but Dunham believes Central's recent string of success can be maintained with this squad.
"As always, the more people we can qualify for the national meet, the better. We've got some great possibilities across the board," said Dunham. "It will be exciting to see how it all plays out."

Answering Our Critics, Part 2 of 2: What's the Harm?
Last week I posted a list of 30 rebuttals to many of the recurrent criticisms that are made by people who don't like what we say on SBM. I thought #30 deserved its own post; this is it. At the end, I've added a few items to the original list.
What's the harm in people trying CAM? Science-based medicine has been criticized for being too rigid and intolerant. Why do we insist on randomized placebo-controlled trials to prove that a treatment is safe and effective? Isn't it enough that patients tell us they feel better? Isn't that what we all want, for our patients to feel better? Even if the treatment only works as a placebo, isn't that a good thing? What's the harm in that?
The albuterol/placebo study
I would argue that we don't just want our patients to think they are better, we want them to actually be better. A study that illustrates that principle has been discussed on this blog before, here and here.
A group of patients using an effective albuterol asthma inhaler was compared to 2 placebo groups (a placebo inhaler group and a sham acupuncture group), and to a group that got no treatment at all. Patients reported the same relief of symptoms with each of the two placebo controls as with the albuterol inhaler; all three groups reported feeling significantly better than the no-treatment group. It could be argued that placebos are an effective treatment for the subjective symptoms of asthma. (more…)

The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), U.S. Department of Education, would like to share with you information about an event hosted by the National Council on Disability (NCD) and its federal partners on Tuesday, July 26, 2005, in recognition of the 15th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).
Since its signing July 26, 1990, by former President George H.W. Bush, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) has given Americans with disabilities rights and protections aimed at ensuring that the promise of full participation and community living become a reality. For this to happen, individuals with disabilities need safe and affordable housing, access to transportation, access to the political process and access to the services, programs and activities offered to all members of the community at public and private facilities. The ADA marked a milestone in our nation's quest to guarantee these rights of all Americans, including those with disabilities.
On the 15th anniversary of this landmark legislation, we recognize the important progress the ADA has brought about for the 43 million Americans with disabilities. It has allowed individuals with disabilities to participate more fully in society; and has opened doors for countless Americans by guaranteeing equal rights for people with disabilities by removing barriers, improving education and employment opportunities, expanding public services and regulating public accommodations, transportation and telecommunications.
Still, there is work to be done. The ADA has played a vital role in raising public awareness of disability issues and the broad social benefits of equal opportunity; however many Americans with disabilities continue to face both physical barriers and false perceptions. Removing those obstacles requires a determined and focused commitment to the goals of the ADA: equality of opportunity, economic self-sufficiency, full participation and independent living.
By striving to ensure that no American is denied access to employment, education, cultural activities or community life because of a disability, we strengthen our communities and our society as a whole.
"The Americans with Disabilities Act 1990—2005: 15 Years of Making A Difference," will be held July 26, 2005, at the Marriott at Metro Center, 775 12th Street, N.W., Washington, DC, from 9:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. The day's events include several ADA-related seminars, panels and workshops featuring speakers from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Department of Transportation (DOT) and NCD.
Assistant Secretary John H. Hager is looking forward to participating in the Employment Panel, 11:00 a.m.—12:20 p.m. He and other leaders from federal agencies will present work they have undertaken to increase the recruiting, hiring, retention, and promotion outcomes of people with disabilities.
A full agenda of the day's events, which are open to the public, can be downloaded here:

CNJ staff photo: Tony Bullocks Bender Chevrolet and Cadillac on Monday took over inventory from the Big Valley GMC Buick Pontiac. Bender Chevrolet and Cadillac co-owner Bryce Bender said the dealership will be called Bender GM World.
By Gabriel Monte: CNJ staff writer
There is a reason the Big Valley lot on Mabry is empty.
Bender Chevrolet Cadillac in Clovis took over Big Valley Buick Pontiac GMC's inventory of General Motors products Monday after buying the dealership.
Bender dealership co-owner Bryce Bender said he's moved Big Valley's inventory to his Chevrolet Cadillac dealership on 2500 Mabry Dr.
"We're going to call it Bender GM World because we'll have all five GM franchises at one location," said Bender, who co-owns the car dealership with his brother Darryle Bender.
Bender also sells Chrysler, Dodge, Honda and Nissan vehicles.
Big Valley owner Alva Carter Jr. said there are no plans for the empty Big Valley lot on 3300 Mabry Dr.
Carter said the buyout is part of a reorganization of the dealership after the death of his father, Alva Carter Sr., who co-owned the dealership. Alva Carter Sr. died in a car accident in November. Alva Carter Jr. said he wants to focus the Portales location. He said the dealership also sold its Roswell location about nine months ago.
"It was too much for us to handle by ourselves," he said.
He said the Big Valley dealership in Clovis had been open about a year.

Marc Newson
G-Star RAW by Marc Newson is an exclusive line of premium pieces, designed by one of the world's most respected industrial designers. Every piece is developed from the ground up based on Newson's industrial design principles, resulting in creative fabric combinations and unique constructions.
While the collection evolves every season, constant elements are luxurious fabrics, high-tech trims and clever prints. In the latest collection, Newson adds silky soft leather accents to the elbows, forearms and shoulders of his overshirts, sweats and jackets. The placement references traditional workwear, while the softness of the leather adds a premium twist.
Newson works with heavier weights for his denim creations. He uses a 15.3oz Red Listing selvedge indigo denim for his 5-pocket jeans.
Finished with simple, but original pocket shapes and minimal hardware, the denim is slowly woven on traditional shuttle looms, producing a subtle crosshatch effect and blue-black indigo cast that pays homage to Japanese denim.
" Each season Marc Newson designs a new collection that G-Star brings to life. The collaboration bridges the worlds of industrial and clothing design. "
Marc Newson is among the world's most innovative and respected industrial designers. His ability to soften and balance shapes in a variety of mediums has seen him design everything from furniture to bicycles to aircraft.
His work is present in many major museum collections, including the MoMA in New York, London's Design Museum and V&A, the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Vitra Design Museum.

There's really no other way to put it: Kyle Kinane is one of the funniest people in the world. He took a few minutes to talk with me about new things he's doing for Comedy Central, what we can expect when he comes to Woodlands Tavern next Tuesday and about getting out there and being strange.
What can we expect from your show?
I'm in the constant pursuit of new stuff. I did some new jokes last night that I thought were pretty dumb, but people laughed at them. You might get some pretty dumb stuff in Columbus that I'm thoroughly entertained by.
It's stuff that I thought was real funny, but sometimes being a comedian you laugh the hardest at the absolute dumbest ideas. I had an idea about if there was a TV show about a lonely elevator. He can't make any friends because people are only on the elevator for like two seconds at a time.
He'd be like, "Where are you guys from? Wichita, I met somebody from Wichita, OK, I'll see you guys later." It was killing me that an elevator would be lonely. It's like a children's book that's real bad. Maybe that's what you can expect — I'll be reading excerpts from my children's book, "The Loneliest Elevator."
What are some other things you've been working on?
I did a pilot for a travel show at Comedy Central, and I've also been taping some stuff for their website where I can make fun of the ridiculousness of the political ads we're being battered with this election season. There is some preposterous stuff people have done just to get you to vote. It's real gross. That's going to be on their website at the end of September, beginning of October.
Tell me about the pilot.
I like it and had fun doing it. I got real weird. There's a lot of real weird stuff coming up for me. I went to San Francisco and got real weird. My approach is that you don't know what you like until you try it, and it's a diverse world out there. Being closed-minded or closed off to experiences, you're just selling yourself short. There's too many fun, weird things to do. Get out there and get strange.

Bear Spray Canister Recycling Begins
As of this month, Yellowstone National Park is using a unique new recycling technology that allows area visitors to be both safe and green. The first-of-its-kind unit to recycle bear spray canisters was completed last fall and is now the center of a region-wide partnership that is diverting canisters from landfills.
Carrying bear-deterrent pepper spray, or "bear spray," is a recommended precaution when hiking in bear country. Unfortunately, with millions of visitors to the Greater Yellowstone Area each year, thousands of bear spray canisters – used and unused -- end up in landfills, often discarded because they are not allowed on commercial flights.
"Dangerous encounters with bears are actually pretty rare, but most wildlife experts recommend carrying a can of bear pepper spray when in the backcountry," said Yellowstone Bear Biologist Kerry Gunther. "If other precautionary actions fail, it is a good, last line of defense against an aggressive bear."
The eventual entry of bear spray canisters into landfills has become a serious environmental concern, and up until now there has been no mechanism to recycle them. The solution to this problem came from three Montana State University (MSU) engineering students, who designed a machine that removes the pepper oil and the propellant and crushes the canister, preparing it for recycling as high-quality aluminum. Even the propellant is recycled.
When the prototype was approved for larger scale use, the Yellowstone Park Foundation secured donations from the business community to fund the fabrication of the unit. An engineering firm utilized the principles that were developed by the students to build the machine.
Canister collection sites are located in Yellowstone National Park, surrounding national forests, wildlife refuges, Gallatin Field Airport in Bozeman/Belgrade, and in retail outlets throughout the entire Yellowstone ecosystem. A public outreach campaign and posters will tell outdoor enthusiasts about how they can participate in the recycling program.
"Yellowstone has long been a leader in environmental stewardship practices, and saw this as another opportunity to help develop a solution to an issue that has impacts in Yellowstone and well beyond park boundaries," explained Yellowstone Park Foundation Corporate Relations Manager Tom Porter.
"Recycling bear spray canisters is a significant step in the park's much larger greening effort, and an excellent example of the innovation that a public-private partnership can bring about," said Porter.
Bear-spray manufacturer, Counter Assault, was the lead private funding and technical guidance sponsor of the project. Major financial support was also provided by Gallatin National Forest and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.
An updated list of canister collection sites and partners involved is available at www.bearsprayrecycling.info

It's been a good week for University of Hawaii at Manoa Athletics Director Ben Jay.
He was welcomed with smiles Thursday night at town hall meeting that could have been a much different scene just a few nights earlier.
Earlier Thursday, the UH Board of Regents unanimously approved a plan that moves the Manoa athletic department's $13 million in accumulated debt to the Manoa chancellor's office.
UH said it will have no impact on academics or tuition.
Jay said, "With some of the shifting of funds, and the way some of this is accounted for, it certainly helps our bottom line."
Regents also approved to create a committee to oversee the department's budget.
The Manoa chancellor's office will also fund some athletic staff positions and provide in-state tuition to about 220 athletes.
UH Manoa Chancellor Tom Apple said, "The idea was that we support athletics here, get it in the black, and have a three-year runway during which time we try to become more competitive."
Three years that Apple said will determine the fate of the athletics program, and whether UH remains an NCAA Division I school.
"The big schools will form super conferences and I want to be part of the haves," Jay said. "The history has already shown that the super conferences, the BCS conferences right now, are garnering 90 percent of the revenues."
Jay said he hopes to make his department solvent in fiscal year 2014, which begins July 1.
And then there's the nickname controversy, which Jay said he hopes he resolved on Tuesday when he decided to change his mind from "Warriors" to "Rainbow Warriors."
"The one thing that I didn't want to do, I didn't want that issue to be clouding what we really need to get done," he said.
But for many at the town hall meeting, bringing back the "Rainbow" was something that really needed to get done.
"He's exercised true leadership," said Rainbow Warrior fan Steven Chinen. "Listen to the community and then make a decision based on that. He knew he was going to get flack for changing his mind. He knew some people would call him wishy washy. But true leadership is you do the right thing."
Lawmakers organized the town hall meeting.

Don Newcombe & Roy Campanella played here!
I happen to be staying in Nashua, NH for business and after reading a little history on Holman Stadium, I was looking forward to visiting this ballpark. The American Defenders of New Hampshire play in this historic park. Last time I visited N.H, the Nashua Prides played there.
Back in the old days, one of the Dodgers minor league teams played at this ballpark in Nashua, NH.
What a thrill to be at this historic stadium and see the plaque dedicated to the achievements of Don Newcombe & Roy Campanella! Thank you Nashua, NH for permitting these two baseball players to play here.
A very happy 83rd Birthday Newk who was born on June 14, 1926. It is such a pleasure and honor to see you at Dodger Stadium!
Here is the ballpark. Note the retired numbers for Newk, Campy and Jackie.
Guess what I found out? Eric Gagne has signed with the Quebec Capitales. Quebec will play a three game series at Holman Stadium June 29 to July 1st.

I'm going to move back to my home state of Arkansas in just a few years. There are two new AA fields in the state but I don't believe either of them play the Chattanooga Lookouts. The new one is the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, which are a Royals affiliate. The other is the Arkansas Travelers, affiliate to our enemy the Angels. I guess when I get back I'll have to be a Naturals fan.😉
Wow, that looks like a beautiful stadium!! I love the forest in the background🙂
If you have a chance, you should visit the park.
Definetely you need to become a Naturals fan when you move back!
Hey Kaybee,
That seat cost me $5. $for $20 they had all you can eat but I had dinner prior to going to the game and they had those fry breads making them there. If you have a chance go check out one of your Padre's minor league teams.
Great pix, Emma. And interesting about Gagne. I still remember going to Dodger Stadium and seeing him come in for the 9th with all the hoopla. Talk about a fall from grace. Maybe he'll make a comeback.
Glad you had a nice time at the park. Maybe I'll visit it when I'm in Maine over the summer. Where I stay, it's practically New Hampshire.
So you and I were at the Dodger Stadium at the same time. I could have run into you. I hope Gagne makes a comeback.
Elizabeth! I have not read you for a while!
I hope you do visit that park or any minor league park. There are so charming.
