Driver, child taken to hospital after vehicle strikes utility pole in Bangor
BANGOR, Maine — A man with a child in the back seat of his Jeep Cherokee crashed his vehicle into a utility pole early Tuesday morning, according to police.
The pole was next to 40 High St., according to Bangor police Officer Steve Pelletier.
Pelletier said it's unclear whether the driver, whose identity was not immediately released, was intoxicated.
"It's too early to tell about impairment," the officer said.
The man and the child, whose gender and age weren't released, were taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center for treatment. Pelletier was en route to the hospital to interview the driver.

I had Exilis done 4 weeks ago and I am so happy with my results. It is definitely hot but bearable, and my technician doing the treatment constantly asked me if it was getting too uncomfortable and she would pause for a few moments if I said yes to give me a break. I went to Specialists In Dermatology in Tucson where they also offer CoolSculpting that is MUCH more effective for fast bulge reduction. Exilis is really tissue tightening and should not be used to treat these bulges of fat that people are trying to get rid of. After doing my research Exilis is really not for real fat reduction. I did CoolSculpting on my love handles and Exilis on my upper, back thighs to get rid of the ugly, wavy cellulite area right below my butt. Then I actually did Exilis on the top half of my butt cheeks simply to tighten that skin and therefore giving my butt a perky little lift! I am getting married this may and my love handles are gone, my thighs and butt are smooth and tone and I am extremely happy with my experience :)
I Got Rid of my Cellulite and Got my Butt Lifted and Love It! - Tucson, AZ
I had Exilis done 4 weeks ago and I am so happy...
Overall great care. The Doctor and her staff was very helpful, informative, and honest about what they could do for me. The follow up care was great. It's a very busy clinic so the one time I did leave a message for the doctor my call was not returned until the end of the day when they were done seeing patients but my call was not urgent so that may have been why they waited. In the room during my CoolSculpting treatment the Doctor really does not need to be there, you sit attached to the machine for one hour so I was alone for that. But they do provide magazines, a DVD player, and make you very comfortable. They also give you a call button to press in case you need anything. Just use the bathroom first because if you start that treatment you can't stop for the full hour! Overall fantastic experience.

Fast Parameter Estimation Algorithms for Linear FM Signals
O'Shea, Peter J. (1994) Fast Parameter Estimation Algorithms for Linear FM Signals. In IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing, 1994. ICASSP-94, 19-22 April 1994.
This paper describes computationally efficient algorithms for estimating the parameters of a complex linear FM signal in white Gaussian noise. Algorithm I deals with the high signal to noise ratio (SNR) case (above -4dB for asymp totically long signals). Algorithms I1 and 111 are for the low SNR range. Algorithm 11 is based on the maximum likelihood (ML) approach, but takes advantage of the numerical conditioning of the parameter estimation problem to yield a computationally efficient algorithm. Algorithm 111 also has its roots in the ML procedure, but uses a suboptimal implementation to avert the difficult 2D search procedure. Simulations are provided to illustrate performance.

How not to be a good bioinformatician
by Alina Mierlus
Yesterday, I received from Toni an interesting document, exploring "How not to be a good bioinformatician". After reading it, I thought that it could be useful not only for bioinformaticians, but also for various geeks and software makers: from hard programmers to web developers who build applications and software for the public at large.
Here there are the 10 "practices":
0. Stay low level at every level;
1. Be open source without being open;
2. Make tools that make no sense to biologists;
3. Do not provide a graphical user interface: command line is always more effective;
4. Make sure the output of your application is unreadable, unparseable and does not comply to any known standards;
5. Be unreachable and isolated;
6. Never maintain your databases, web services or any information that you may provide at any time;
7. Blindly believe in the predictions given, P-values or statistics;
8. Do not ever share your results and do not reuse;
9. Make your algorithm or analysis method irreproducible;
You can find the detailed (and provisional) article here.

Sonic Youth Get Stolen Guitars Back After 13 Years
Two guitars stolen from the band's show in South California in 1999 have been recovered by fans.
Two guitars stolen at a Sonic Youth gig in 1999 have been returned, 13 years later.
The band's rented truck full of their equipment was stolen in the middle of the night before a festival appearance in Orange County. The truck was later found in Los Angeles, empty.
However, over the years, fans of the band have remained diligent to try and recover the lost gear, which had been heavily modified by the band after guitarist Lee Ranaldo issued a plea at the time. Several have already cropped up, but this month the sixth and seventh guitars both mysteriously appeared, according to Pitchfork.
Ranaldo said: "It's kind of wild. After all this time, things are still surfacing thanks to the diligence of fans".
A white Jazzmaster, used by Thurston Moore on songs including "Bull In The Heather" and "Dirty Boots" was picked up by a fan in Belgium on eBay. The other, Ranaldo's Jazzmaster used on "A Thousand Leaves", "French Tickler" was discovered for sale in a pawn shop and also in a thread on guitar forum OffsettGuitars.
Sonic Youth will release a new live album, recorded in August 1985 at Chicago's Smart Ba. The album was recorded on a four-track tape recorder and will be released on November 14 via the band's label Goofin' Records.
In October last year, Moor and his partner Kim Gordon announced they would be separating after 27 years of marriage. The announcement raised doubts over the future of Sonic Youth after Matador revealed that plans for the band remained "uncertain".
Thanks to NME for the report.

Harness The Voice Of The Employee For Competitive Advantage
Posted by Leslie Owens on September 8, 2011
- 587 Recommendations

What's a customer-obsessed company? One that is deeply committed to know and engage with its customers. The three winners of our 2011 Voice of the Customer award -- Adobe, Fidelity and JetBlue -- don't just train employees to deliver great customer experiences; they monitor service satisfaction and systematically act on what they learn. My colleague Zach Hofer-Shall calls this management and analysis of customer-generated information "Social Intelligence."
I think the Voice of the Employee should share the spotlight with the Voice of the Customer.
Few clients I talk to analyze employee-generated information the way that they do customer-generated information. It's now mainstream to listen to customer opinions regarding your product's or service's shortfalls or what competitors do better. But it's cutting-edge to listen to employees as part of a consistent, automated, scalable, strategic initiative. I am not talking about reading private emails or sending an annual employee survey. Instead I mean mining solicited sources like open-ended feedback requests and unsolicited sources like wikis, content archives and public internal social profile pages.
In a mature collaborative enterprise, it's exciting to think of the potential competitive advantage from aggregating, segmenting and analyzing the Voice of the Employee (VoE). Think of the questions that could be answered: "Why do we not close deals in the public sector?" or "Will our product ship on time?" Incorporate structured data in the mix, and you could ask questions like: "What type of employee outperforms his peers after training?"
Like their counterparts in marketing who focus on customers, you could say Content & Collaboration (C&C) professionals are employee-obsessed. If you:
- roll out social platforms
- foster idea jams
- structure team workspaces
- coordinate eLearning
your work helps your organization communicate, build relationships and share knowledge. You empower employees to engage with one another. Engaged employees are more productive, just as engaged customers are more loyal. In fact, employee and customer metrics for advocacy, satisfaction and loyalty are often linked, rising and falling in tandem. (See reports on Employee Advocacy and VoE programs.)
By deploying spaces that encourage interaction, C&C pros have built the foundation for workplace intelligence. But what lies ahead is a systematic approach to mining and acting on the insights available inside our organizational walls. In two weeks, I will speak on this topic at the Content & Collaboration Forum here in Boston. I hope you can join us and contribute to the discussion around the latest trends in technology adoption and how firms forge better business outcomes from a more mobile, social, and virtual workforce.
In the meantime, I welcome your comments on this theme.

JetBlue and Voice of the Customer
Comment from Manya Mayes (not verified) on Mon, 09/12/2011 - 14:59
Hi Leslie!
I got to see Bonny Simi deliver a fabulous presentation about JetBlue's Voice of the Customer program and their use of Attensity's text analytics at the CRM Evolution 2011 conference last month - http://www.destinationcrm.com/conferences/2011/speaker.aspx?Speaker=Bonn... An audience member decided to see how on the ball JetBlue's representatives were by tweeting while Bonny was talking. It almost goes without saying that there was a very speedy reply, which just added to the presentation!
Very true
Comment from Stefania Todisco (not verified) on Thu, 10/20/2011 - 16:00
I lime yr post because it IS on all the companies' agenda nowadays to be' CUSTOMER obsessed, while listening to Employees is urgent, we know, but performed throught surveys only.
There you miss engagement and spread expectations you can hardly satisfy.
You can listen a lot throught surveys, but action plans are always necessarly top down, which allow you to deal only with few things. That'S why I love yr statement about Employees engaging with one another in a more pervasive and spontaneus way!!

Ecologist Jessica Green thinks of indoor air as a microbial
garden, and she thinks architects and biologists can collaborate to make our
indoor environments much healthier for humans.
In a TEDx talk, Green describes what we are doing
to indoor air now. She calls it "microbial genocide." We seal the buildings
and use air conditioning and filtration systems to make sure outdoor microbes
don't get in. People come in
bringing millions of microbes shedding from their bodies and they stir up the
microbial dust languishing every surface.
We keep the temperature and humidity in the same narrow range. And then, she says, we regularly kill
every organism we can with antimicrobial cleaning products. "If you had a garden," she says, "you'd
never kill everything in it to get rid
of one weed."
Microbes—bacteria, viruses and archaea—are the most abundant
organisms on earth, and while some make us sick, our bodies need many of them
to protect us from pathogens, and boost our immune systems. They even influence our moods. "When you clean the organisms from an
ecosystem," she explains, "you make space for the weedy and fast growing organisms to come in and colonize those
Green is an associate professor at
the University of Oregon, and a
co-founder of the university's Biology and Built Environment Center.
She began her career researching microbes in the Arctic and other exotic
places. She also had background in civil and environmental engineering and she
realized examining the built environment where we spend 90 percent of our time
would make her research relevant to issues surrounding sustainability, design
and human health. A Discover Magazine story by Bruce Barcott reports that G.Z.
"Charlie" Brown, a colleague at the University of Oregon
and an expert in sustainable buildings, wanted research data to influence a new
generation of hospitals on how energy-saving ventilation systems could also
produce healthier hospital air. Green persuaded the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
to put up the money and the BioBE Center was born.
The Discover story
describes Green as an adventurous scientist and a fearless athlete. She was known as Thumper Biscuit in her
Roller Derby competition days. A Forbes magazine
story by Bruce
Upbin explains she and her colleagues have worked with architectural modeling software,
genetic sequencing, and microbial
ecology to map the microbiomes of
the built environment. "We've
learned that architects are impacting what microbes live where," she told Forbes. "It's a new dimension of
their work." Surfaces of desks,
for example, foster microbial colonies that differ from the colonies living on
walls near air conditioning vents.
In research relevant to hospitals, Green and colleagues
compared microbial environments in rooms with open windows and sealed rooms
with mechanical ventilation systems. In a TED talk, she says green
buildings, designed to let outside air in, fostered a
diverse microbial mix that included organisms one finds outdoors in plants and
soil, and a higher likelihood of organisms that promote health. In rooms with
mechanically ventilated air, the microbial populations were less diverse, and
more akin to the populations associated with humans, and had a higher
probability of carrying pathogens.
In microbial
populations, as in agriculture, monocultures tend to be unhealthy. People eat probiotic yogurt for health, and the same principle may apply
to interior spaces. The Forbes story says Ford has contacted Green about
design to foster health-promotion organisms inside its cars and trucks.
"There are organisms that make our skin more supple and smooth," Green told
Forbes. "I can totally see it: the probiotic steering wheel."
Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years,
but only in the last 60 years or so have we spent most of our time in
hermetically sealed indoor environments, Green observes. She among the scientists pioneering the research
to learn what that means. One
possibility she speculates, is that "We
are growing a microbial monoculture, and our bodies probably have not
evolved to function well in this microbial environment." Some evidence suggests
indoor living may be associated with antibiotic resistance and auto immune
disorders such as asthma and allergies.
Research by Green and others may lead to new floor plans, new ventilation systems, and new ways to grow
robust, diverse and healthy microbial gardens inside our buildings. Green
coauthored the paper Architectural Design Influences the Diversity and
Structure of the Built Environment Microbiome.

[1]In January 2011, President Barack Obama signed the National Alzheimer's Project Act [2] (NAPA), which called for an aggressive and coordinated national plan to attack Alzheimer's disease and improve care and services. To provide a living framework for this initiative, and as directed under the legislation, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) unveiled the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease [1] in May 2012, with an update in June 2013. The Plan addresses the major challenges presented by Alzheimer's disease and outlines and tracks the various goals and activities—from advancing scientific collaboration to improving patient care—now undertaken with increasing collaboration within the Federal Government and between the public and private sectors.
The Plan's overarching research goal (Goal 1) is to "prevent or effectively treat Alzheimer's disease by 2025." While the Plan is a national effort involving public and private stakeholders, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) play a lead role in identifying and supporting the research needed to fulfill the Plan's goals. The challenges are many; Alzheimer's is a complex disorder and research dollars are shrinking [3]. But NIH leadership, staff, scientists, clinicians, and grantees—as well as the many volunteers who participate in studies and make research possible—are fully committed to a future free of this dread disease.
This section lists the strategies and highlights some of NIH's 2012-2013 activities under Goal 1. These actions are not an end in themselves. Rather, measured in specific milestones [4], they reflect the momentum achieved under the Plan's comprehensive and cohesive framework.

ADEN, (Xinhua): The death toll from three suicide car bombings that ripped through a key military site and police center in Yemen's southeastern province of Shabwa has risen to at least 65, a local security official said.
"At least 65 army and security soldiers died and 38 others were wounded in three simultaneous car bombing attacks that targeted the police station headquarters and army-held sites in Azzan area in Shabwa," the provincial security official told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
A police officer said that the deadliest of Friday's attacks took place when an al-Qaida suicide bomber drove his explosive- laden car into the army held-site in Azzan near an oil pipeline.
Medical officials in a nearby military hospital confirmed to Xinhua the casualty figures.
An earlier toll on Friday said that three explosives-rigged cars went off at a military site in Azzan, killing at least 40 army soldiers and wounding dozens of others at the scene, a local government source said.
An army source said that the security forces backed by heavy armored vehicles were deployed in large numbers around the scene.
A witness told Xinhua anonymously saying that "we saw a number of charred bodies near the police center and the bodies of five high-ranking army officers brought out of it."
"The bombs struck an army base and huge clouds of black smoke billowed into the air," the witness added.
The toll of Friday suicide attacks could rise as ambulances and civilian cars evacuated the army victims to different hospitals and medical centers in the city, according to the local sources.
Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has claimed responsibility for these bombing attacks.
A spokesman of the AQAP told Xinhua by phone early Friday that they launched wide-scale attacks using two car bombs and ground attacks on an army barracks and the police station, which killed more than 50 soldiers.
He said that their attacks took place a few minutes after a U.S. drone raided a militant car in Eyen Ma'Bad area in Shabwa and killed all on board.
Security operation room of Shabwa told Xinhua that the killed troops of the targeted army barracks were on duty of securing and protecting a nearby oil installation in the southern edge of the province.
The Yemen-based AQAP, which emerged in January 2009, is considered the most strategic threat to the Yemeni government and its neighboring oil-rich Saudi Arabia.

You are herecontent / Here's the Funny Part
Here's the Funny Part
t r u t h o u t | Perspective
Tuesday 30 August 2005
If the thunder don't get you
Then the lightning will ...
-- Robert Hunter
Try this madness on for size.
Here we have Pat Robertson, ostensibly a Christian, judging by the number of crosses he surrounds himself with, calling for the assassination of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. Parsing the gibberish that pours forth from this fraud of a holy man has been a parlor game in my home for a while now. My favorite remains the statement made by Robertson in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when he said the attack was God's judgment on America for our tolerance of gays, feminists and the ACLU.
After you get past the immediate disgust that comes whenever you hear something so vile, you are left with the Robertson pretzel-logic. Think about it: If the attacks of 9/11 were the righteous judgment of the Lord, as the false priest told us, then the terrorists were acting on behalf of and to the purposes of God. In other words, they were doing holy and important work, and are therefore above reproach. Call off the War on Terra, folks, and let's bring the troops home. We're waging war on a bunch of dudes who were only seeking to follow Jesus' direct orders.
Yes, such is life in the la-la land of Pat Robertson. This newest one, the call to put a bag on Hugo Chavez, verges into equally bizarre territory. This televangelist is supposed to be a Christian leader, and the last I'd heard, Christ was the guy they called the Prince of Peace. I have this image of Robertson's version of Jesus, however, being an Aramaic rendering of the Max Fischer character from the movie "Rushmore," contemplating the murder of Chavez while walking around Nazareth muttering, "He just made my list of things to do today. I'm gonna pop a cap in his ass."
Some talking head on Fox News the other day coughed up the names and home address of two guys who live in La Habra, California. He released this information live over the network while claiming the two were tied to a man named Iyad Halal, whose group is allegedly connected to the London bombings. The two guys from La Habra, who of course have no terrorism ties whatsoever, now have police protection outside their home, because a whole mob of loyal Fox watchers have been accosting them, screaming profanities at them and spray-painting their house with the word "terrorist." But here's the funny part: Whoever tagged their house with that graffiti did great honor to the intellectual reputation of Fox viewers by spelling the word "terrist." Thus fell Lord Perth, and the earth did shake with that thunder.
Sometimes you just have to laugh when an entire nation takes seeming leave of its senses, when the appalling becomes the mundane, when normally level-headed people lose the capacity to be shocked. The problem, of course, is that there is nothing funny about any of this. The top leadership of this nation has gone barking mad, has enwombed itself in a fantasy world where dead people don't hit the ground and where no plan is the best plan, and that madness has trickled down over the rest of us.
George W. Bush coughed up his latest rationale for continuing the Iraq war - I think this is the fourth or fifth one of these to this point - by saying that because so many American soldiers have been killed, we have to keep sending American soldiers to get killed as a means of honoring the American soldiers who have been killed. Big talk from a guy who spends more time on vacation than a French aristocrat.
Cindy Sheehan, the Gold Star mother who lost her son in Iraq and who has spent the last month perched outside the Crawford ranch like Poe's raven, almost sounds like she pities George in her latest dispatch from Camp Casey. "Since the Freedom and Democracy thing is not going so well," writes Sheehan, "and the Iraqi parliament is having such a hard time writing their constitution, since violence is mounting against Iraqis and Americans and since his poll numbers are going down every day, he had to come up with something."
Oh yeah, about that Iraqi constitution? It's a blueprint for civil war. The Sunnis, who make up about 30% of the population, were completely cut out of the thing and do not accept the version that has been decided on. The Arab League has rejected the document as incomplete and overly solicitous of Iraqi Kurds. The Shi'ite majority, who crafted the document, want to take nine Shi'ite territories and amalgamate them into one autonomous region that would umbilically connect itself to Iran. Those nine territories, it should be noted, have the richest oil reserves in that country. Welcome to Balkanized Iraq, a nation whose quasi-constitution, by the way, basically eviscerates any and all rights for women.
Bush is rocking a 40% approval rating right now, a number that Charles Manson would find embarrassing. The war in Iraq, the rising casualty numbers, the disastrous constitutional thrashing about, not to mention gas prices that are beating consumer confidence to death, are pig-piling all over his sunnily deranged view of things. The hurricane that threatened to annihilate New Orleans caused oil prices to bang above $70 a barrel on Monday, and the storm itself will likely do damage to the petroleum infrastructure in that region, which will further boost gas prices all across the country.
The hurricane itself, at least, isn't George's fault, though one can imagine Karl Rove on the roof of the Crawford ranch summoning the storm like Saruman in order to change, at least for a little while, the subject. Yet the hurricane is a pretty decent example of how Bush priorities do lethal damage to ordinary people, both here and abroad. 3,000 members of the Louisiana National Guard's 256th Brigade, who serve as the front-line saviors when natural disasters strike their home state, sit today in Iraq and can only watch helplessly as the storm batters their neighbors and friends.
Back in June, the New Orleans district of the US Army Corps of Engineers absorbed a record $71.2 million reduction in federal funding. This was an epic reduction for one fiscal year. A story from the Dolan Media news wire reported at the time that, "The cuts mean major hurricane and flood protection projects will not be awarded to local engineering firms. Also, a study to determine ways to protect the region from a Category 5 hurricane has been shelved for now."
But whatever. It's just people, right? The geometry of public discourse, of priorities and the public good, has been perverted almost beyond comprehension. So-called holy men call for assassinations, national television stations put the finger on innocent citizens and open the door for poorly-spelled harassment, soldiers have to keep dying because soldiers have been dying, the Iraqi Founding Fathers drafted a constitution that would have excluded everything north of Virginia had it been written here a couple hundred years ago, and a bad storm is going to be worse because George didn't think keeping New Orleans safe was an important budget item.
You want to know the really funny part, the over-the-moon wacky part? Pat Buchanan has called for the impeachment of George W. Bush in his latest column. It seems Pat is put out by Bush's immigration policies. "Some courageous Republican, to get the attention of this White House," writes Pat, "should drop into the hopper a bill of impeachment, charging Bush with a conscious refusal to uphold his oath and defend the states of the Union against 'invasion.'"
Go figure.

Condy rice is bride of chucky
Yep, I agree. The resemblence is remarkable! Good observation.
And she's just as scary too!! Did ya notice the credibility gap between her teeth?
I love it I love it I love it those Bride of Chucky comments.
I really cannot stand that woman, seeing her or GW makes my blood boil, makes me see red. I seriously have a hard time seeing their faces...must cover them up, change the channel anything as I get stark raving ANGRY when I do.
Census: Poverty rate rises for 4th straight year
WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's poverty rate rose to 12.7% of the population last year, the fourth consecutive annual increase, the Census Bureau said Tuesday.
Thank you for pointing that out. Important for everyone to know.
Stop shopping corporate. Support your local vendors.
A noble idea and probably good for the country, but very hard to do. It's no accident that we are virtually controlled by giant corporations.
Gee Folks, how do ya think George pays for his war? He's gotta make a name for "hisself" now doesn't he? Let's see: a contrived war with no rationale, loss of thousands of lives, classified top secret leaks, Rovegate, scandals, lies, unemployment, poverty, outrageous gas prices, closure of bases, cover ups, stonewalling the public, possible social security reform, media lockdown, loss of privacy, women's and gays loss of rights, smear tactics...the list goes on and on. Now...let's send letters of thanks to the Republicans and the Evangelists in Pat Robertson's herd. Let them know how much we appreciate their Godliness and Holiness in these troubled times.
Its great to here lyrics in assosiation with politics. I think its now the time the dead heads get out of their houses and get to work on a new show and that is exposeing all the lies surrounding 9-11 and Afganistan and iraq. "I see all of South East Asia. I see El Salvador. I hear the cryes of children and the other songs of war."
quote from song "Standing on the Moon" by the Grateful Dead
Well, Buchanan's reasons may be a bit screwy, but what the heck. If he can get the Repubs to put together a bill of impeachment to get Bush out of office, we can always transfer him to the tender care of Guantanamo later.

Your cell phone is your weight loss coach.Top Rated Diets of 2017
For a nation on the go and constantly seeking convenience as a solution for most problems, it's no wonder dieting and weight loss become forgotten tasks. What if that cell phone you keep firmly attached to your hip could help reduce the size of those hips? Sensei, a new diet program, is suggesting it can do just that. Like many diets with online memberships that offer impressive features and a place your diet can call home, Sensei sends all of this information directly to your cell phone. Grocery lists, customized meal plans and exercise guidance- it all shows up on that tiny screen that you couldn't run your life without.
Using new Social Cognitive Theory technology, and your wireless phone plan, Sensei can connect to you unlike any diet you've tried in the past. As soon as sign up is complete, a text message is sent to your phone to begin download. If you're not comfortable using Sensei on your phone, the entire program is available from your computer.
Each day, you can open your account to find a full listing of all the meals and exercise waiting for you. Outline of each meal is displayed, and you can select each one to open a recipe.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- Ideal for picky eaters, Sensei filters out foods that you do not want to eat
- Updates sent directly to your cell phone or PDA
- Also works from your PC
- Provides meal plans and recipes
- Personalized exercise program
- Connect with other Sensei users on the discussion boards
- Only available to Sprint and AT&T customers
- Only available to very limited phone models
- Limited choices of exercise activities
Sensei has three meal plans to choose from, each varying from the other so that you can choose a direction you're most comfortable with.
- The Sensei Senseible is a carb-lover meal plan. The plan is designed to resemble the Food Guide Pyramid and eat a lot of whole grain, fruit and vegetables, some learn protein and reduce intake of fat and sugar.
- Sensei Healthy Carb Plan is similar to a low-carb diet. You'll enjoy a diet rich in protein with fish, chicken, lean meat and low-fat dairy. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are still included in the diet, just in smaller regulated amounts.
Sensei Mediterranean Plan is full of fresh food and flavor. Fish will be your primary protein source, while enjoying a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes, as well as olive oil.
Once you've chosen your plan, Sensei lets you select the foods that you will not eat. Sensei "promises" they won't make you eat anything you don't like.
You can also schedule the times each day that you eat each meal and where you prepare or purchase that meal. This way, updates are sent to you just in time to curtail any spontaneous eating behavior.EXERCISE
Customize a workout plan and have Sensei send the schedule directly to your cell phone. It's recommended you begin by working out three days each week for no less than 20 minutes. You're encouraged to do more, without over exerting yourself.
The custom exercise menu allows you to choose the day of the week, type of activity (i.e. bicycling, jogging, swimming or strength training) and duration of each. Sensei displays the amount of calories/hour that you'll burn with each activity- this burn rate is based on your weight that you submit during sign up.CONCLUSION
That next text message might just be a delicious and healthy recommendation for lunch. It could also be just what you've been looking for to kick off your weight loss goals. Sensei is a fully customized, affordable weight loss program that's as easy as calling your voicemail.Common Misspellings

User Feedback(Page 1 of 1, 6 total comments)
Cool Gril,
I realize that we've already responded to your comment that you've posted on a few other sites but I felt we should answer your concerns here as well.
I'm not sure if you actually used it this feature because if you had you would realize that the �??budget friendly�?� feature does not tell you where to shop or what brands to buy. In fact you tell our program where you prefer eating and what you like to eat and then the budget friendly feature generates and optimizes your plan to take advantage of cost conscious ingredients, shopping tips and even provides access to circulars from your grocers that you pick. We do not have any �??deals with�?? stores - in fact we allow you to shop wherever you want and buy whatever brands you prefer.
The bigger issue is that weight loss is very challenging and it's a public health crisis. There are many approaches to the kind of changes people need to make in their lives when trying to lose weight and keep it off.
And different approaches appeal to different people. Our approach reflects the expertise of dietitians, behavioral psychologists and physicians. At a high level we are promoting small changes in diet, behavior and activity which are more easily accomplished. For most it is important to have a plan and use it to help make better choices meal to meal, day to day until it becomes their new routine. The process in place for our enrollment defines personal profiles of our subscribers that allows the system to create a personalized weight loss program. Personalized expert guidance based on subscribers preferences, lifestyle and needs We are engaged with our subscribers on their mobile phones and desktops in order to be seamlessly integrated into their day. Most people can benefit by learning and integrating into their daily diet- nutritious and appealing foods and meals, how much and how often to eat. It�??s important to eat regularly and learn about healthy foods and meals that people may not realize can be part of a healthy meal plan.
The food preference page you referred to is used as it says to try and help avoid foods you don�??t like. The corollary is the foods not checked here are foods you might like and we try and provide nutritious and delicious choices for you to enjoy. Diet shouldn�??t be about deprivation. The decisions made by the system are based on the best information and data available. Some of the meals, i.e. fast food or frozen preparations which as you know are part of the profile we include, may have foods in them that were to be excluded based on the food preference selection. Sometimes we don�??t have a complete list of all the secondary foods that might be included in some products, and sometimes someone might exclude a lot of foods and the combination of that and their preparation choices and calories might define a profile where we need to create more meals. So it is possible for a food selected here to be included in a meal plan. We have created thousands of meals to accommodate the different diet plans (Mediterranean, balanced and healthy carb), the 5 meal preps (quick, frozen, fast food, cook at home, go out) and the myriad of combinations created by the different food preferences and exclusions. In fact there are alerts setup in the system for us when a combination of things is defined by a user that needs more meals created. We are continually adding meals and features to the system to enhance the experience and success of our subscribers. One example is the budget friendly feature you noted in an earlier comment. We successfully refined the content and logic of the system to provide subscribers with more cost conscious meal planning which helps reduce grocery bills by as much as 30% (~$100) of what the average American spends and almost doubles the nutritional value of their meals (based on USDA data).
I am sorry you were disappointed with your experience. We continue to monitor discussions like this one to learn about peoples experiences and to integrate that learning into future releases of the program. I wish you success in finding a program that you enjoy.

I thought it is great until I used it.
I marked that I don't eat eggs, but I had eggs for breakfast on Monday and Wednesday.
It is also boring and dull.
I wouldn't recomend it, and I don't think others will like it or find it useful
I tried this website 7 days trial,IT DOESN�??T WORK, and the phone is too complicated to use.
There is no chance I�??m paying these folks $12 a month for nothing.
BTW: their so called �??budget friendly�?� plan IS A SCAM that makes you buy foods for stores they had made a deal with, so they are making more money while YOU will LOOSE MONEY.
Thanks for the great review! We appreciate you taking the time to write about us! - The Sensei Team
the sensei plan sounds amazing! i love the thought of receiving a reminder before i make a bad choice, and I don't have to log in, it comes right to my phone
I can't find any links to people that have had success with this, but i like the concept

When I was 20 I just wanted to even out my appearance. Being 5'8 and 145lbs I always hated being bigger in my hips than my chest. I went to a doc in the Baltimore area and got what I thought were saline breast implants above the muscle.
At the time, silicone implants were still getting a bad rap and I wanted to take no chances. I was only looking for a little cleavage & went from an A to a B. Less than a year after my surgery I was blessed with my first child. I gained a ton of weight and went from a B to a D. As I lost the baby pounds I moved back to a big B usually a C.
I had the doc re-check my implants since I had gained so much weight and he advised me that although I caused a little stretching of my scars, the implants were fine. Fast forward 15years. 3 more pregnancies breastfeeding all, I finally lost all the weight. I soon realized my implants were like softballs. Hidden behind the baby fat, I had developed a severe case of capsular contracture. Not knowing this was common side effect, I did some homework then found a local plastic surgeon. He took 1 look at me and said I had stage 4 capsular contracture.
My options were to remove or remove & replace but under the muscle. I decided to go bigger since I had never had cleavage and decided to go with silicone since its known to be more natural. I obtained a copy of my old records, 150cc saline implants over the muscle? Could that be right?
I was looking at 650cc silicone implants and they were only wider not really higher than my current softballs. I figured why not and went ahead with the replacement last week. The scary thing is both my old implants had ruptured and were actually silicone...discovered during surgery. (yes the med records were wrong, obviously I was lied to)
This time the recovery was simple and unbelievably less painful then I remembered from years ago. I woke up to cleavage that I only dreamed about. I was a C and probably am a full D now. I am 1 week post op with beautifully natural feeling breasts.
My husband who has NEVER been a fan of implants especially since mine were so hard, is amazed and very happy with the results. I couldnt ask for anything better than I have and wish I had had them redone a while ago.

Miraculous Healing
posted at 7:34 pm on July 20, 2010 by J.E. Dyer
In a startling development worthy of government-funded study, a new shopping mall has apparently been constructed in Gaza – and its numerous stores fully stocked – in less than a month.
Only a month ago, Israel was still in the process of lifting restrictions on the flow of goods into Gaza. Items such as dual-use construction cement remained prohibited until just two weeks ago. In the fortnight since most restrictions were lifted (including those on dual-use items) during the weekend before Benjamin Netanyahu's 6 July visit to Washington, a new mall has sprung up seemingly overnight in the Gaza Strip.
The mall's name is "the Gaza Strip Mall," but it's not what Americans call a strip mall. It's a full-blown, multilevel, air-conditioned indoor mall with a variety of stores, a food court, columned and decorated open areas with fountains and entertainment, and a video arcade for the junior set. There is reportedly plenty of parking. Video and photos have captured the thousands of Gazans who showed up for the mall's grand opening (see here for a good summary; keep scrolling down).
Of course, Israel still prohibits the flow of arms into Gaza, and is maintaining the naval blockade in the sense of not allowing the transport of cargo directly to the Gaza coast. So for anti-Israel activists, it's not time to do an end-zone dance yet.
Fox News is also raining on the Strip Mall's parade, reporting that a lot of Gazans can't afford the mall merchants' wares. There had to be some reason to build this mall, however, which would lead the analytical reader to deduce that there are some Gazans who aren't as poor as other Gazans. It seems like an awfully good guess that the less-poor Gazans are pals with Hamas – or are full-fledged members of that touchy organization. Hamas does, after all, rule Gaza.
The thing that's amazing, though, is just how quickly this seemingly elaborate mall was assembled. I don't think the world has ever seen anything like it: desperate, impoverished Gaza went from zero to First World-style Shopping Cathedral in less than 30 days. If you didn't know better, you might almost think some of the construction materials and stock and stuff were sneaked in before Israel started lifting the restrictions in June. I've heard one theory that the escalators were smuggled in through the Gaza tunnel network. Of course, it might also be that what Israel's been saying is true, and non-military goods have been getting into Gaza all along.

San Francisco drag queens meet with Facebook over name policy
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - San Francisco drag queens and a city lawmaker met with Facebook on Wednesday demanding the site change its policy banning users from using aliases online, but said they were rebuffed.
Facebook, the world's largest social media network, has cracked down on users with fake names. A company spokesman said it had locked scores of accounts in recent weeks, including hundreds owned by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
San Francisco Board of Supervisors member David Campos and crossdressers from around the city said after the Wednesday meeting that the rule, which requires users to go by their legal names, endangers drag queen performers.
"If we're going to work together on this, we want acknowledgement that this policy is misguided," Campos said at the news conference, flanked by a bevy of crossdressers.
Drag queen performers, or men who dress in flamboyant female clothing for nightclub shows, usually use a stage name that has no relation to their real name.
Performers have said using their stage names on social media protects them from possible retribution from other employers, family members and stalkers. In addition, many see their stage name as an integral part of their identity.
"I have been Heklina for 20 years, and I have Facebook telling me Heklina does not exist. So they're basically wiping you out of existence," a performer who goes by the name Heklina at the conference.
Facebook said it would give users two weeks to adjust their profiles to display their real name or convert their personal pages into a fan page that allows for the use of nicknames.
Campos and members of the community said the brief reprieve wasn't enough and they would continue pushing Facebook to change the standard. Continued...

Hi everyone,
I just got my Cobb AP in and flashed my car to stock stage 1 91. Right off I noticed the car needed me to push the peddle a bit more than before to get things going (I read this so I was expecting it). The thing I am not sure of is the car now sounds louder than before. Nothing outrageous or anything, but if I were to try and explain it, it kind of sounds like I have an aftermarket exhaust (which I don't). It's when I am cruising along lightly on the peddle, its like a rumble bbbbrrrr bbbrrrr. It seems to go away when I get on it and go into boost. I drove it around for about 25 miles so far. I couldn't pull any logs because it's raining like crazy and it wouldn't be safe.
So is this sound normal after going stage 1?
How long does it take for the throttle response to improve?
Thanks in advance guys.

#1: Damage and breakage from working out?
So this past year, I was on the high school tennis team. It really had a toll on my hair because I would have it up in a tight pony for 4+ hours for 6 months straight. I have to have my hair out of my face, otherwise I can't see while playing. Headbands are a nightmare because they don't stay in. (My daddy tells me its because I have a funny shaped head!) I start playing again this week, and I want to keep my hair healthy. Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep my hair healthy while still playing the sport I love? Thanks!

text: Aug 31, 2010 - My mother had a jar of this and offered to let me try some. I really liked the results I got from doing a finger twist/coiled style. And since my hair is so short it gave the curls a lot of definition. I got a lot of compliments and pleasant stares after trying this out for the first time. I was very pleased with how moisturized my hair felt even after a whole day. The curls didn't fall or dry out. But the style was pliable so i could rearrange my style and it still looked great. (I like to play in my hair) However, it wasn't a complete love affair. My mother told me that after I applied to gel once all i would have to do the next day was spray down my hair and re-twist it. This did not work. The gel wouldn't set again and the curls didn't take at all after i sprayed down my hair. I ended up having to apply more gel anyway. After just 2 or 3 days there was a gunky build-up in my curls that, I was told, no one else could see but I could feel it and it was icky. I had problems washing it out. Now this may be because I make my own shampoo using castile soap as its cleaning agent but usually when I use my shampoo i have no problems cleaning my hair. But this stuff wouldn't come out. I ended up having to scrub down my scalp with pure castile soap. (I refuse to use harsh detergents on my hair and so this may not be a problem for people who use other types of shampoo) Afterwards my mother told me that in order for me to reap the full benefit of the Kinky Curly Custard I would probably have to buy the entire system and only use their shampoo, conditioner, and gel. Seeing as this stuff isn't cheap I am declining to test her theory. I really do like the curling results of this product. It gives great moisture and allows versatility I would probably try is again. But I would probably also have to reformulate my shampoo recipe to make sure i can wash it out if it gunks up again. But I'm not sure if I'm willing to put in the effort, or if I can afford to wash my hair everyday. But I've also heard that the results aren't typical. This product worked wonders for my 8yr old sister's hair and my mother uses castile soap on her hair too.

Earlier this year a task force was created to help find savings and those member met Thursday in Augusta. Last week the Governor submitted his budget plan which decreases state funding to the U-Maine system by 2-million bringing the system's deficit to more than 43-million for the next four years.There are seven universities state-wide. David Flanagan chairs the committee and says shutting down campuses will not be an option, but reducing some academic programs and services are likely to make the list. Flanagan says jobs may also be on the line.The Chancellor and Board of Trustees will look at the final report and consider the proposals this summer.

Palestinians win implicit U.N. recognition of sovereign state
By Louis Charbonneau
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The 193-nation U.N. General Assembly on Thursday overwhelmingly approved the de facto recognition of a sovereign Palestinian state after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called on the world body to issue its long overdue "birth certificate."
There were 138 votes in favor, nine against and 41 abstentions. Three countries did not take part in the vote to upgrade the Palestinian Authority's observer status at the United Nations to "non-member state" from "entity."
The assembly approved the upgrade despite threats by the United States and Israel to punish the Palestinians by withholding funds for the West Bank government. U.N. envoys said Israel might avoid harsh retaliation as long as the Palestinians did not seek to join the International Criminal Court.
The much-anticipated vote came after Abbas denounced Israel for its "aggressive policies and the perpetration of war crimes" from the U.N. podium, remarks that elicited a furious response from the Jewish state.
"Sixty-five years ago on this day, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 181, which partitioned the land of historic Palestine into two states and became the birth certificate for Israel," Abbas told the 193-nation assembly after receiving a standing ovation.
"The General Assembly is called upon today to issue a birth certificate of the reality of the State of Palestine," he said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded quickly, condemning Abbas' critique of Israel as "hostile and poisonous," and full of "false propaganda."
"These are not the words of a man who wants peace," Netanyahu also said in a statement released by his office in Israel. Continued...

General Comments: Futures closed lower again as tropical system Chantal began to fade and became less a threat to groves. Some speculative profit taking was noted by traders as many look forward to new production data from USDA today. Ideas are that production will be unchanged. The tropical system is too late to hurt the current production as the harvest is mostly over, but a big storm now could severely impact the coming production. Showers are reported and conditions are said to have improved in almost the entire state. Ideas are that the better precipitation will help trees fight the greening disease. Temperatures are warm in the state, but there are showers reported. Brazil is seeing near to above normal temperatures and mostly dry weather.
Overnight News: Florida weather forecasts call for showers. Temperatures will average near to above normal. ICE said that 0 delivery notices were posted today and that total deliveries for the month are now 0 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are mixed to up with objectives of 145.00 and 155.00 September. Support is at 132.00, 130.00, and 127.00 September, with resistance at 138.00, 139.00, and 140.00 September.
General Comments: Futures were lower in New York and Sao Paulo on some long liquidation and new selling tied to a weaker Brazilian Real against the US Dollar. London moved higher on some speculative buying tied to less offer from Vietnam on ideas that producers there are about sold out. Offers from origin are still hard to find. Demand was not much stronger than the offer and the cash market remains very quiet. Sellers, including Brazil, are quiet and are waiting for better prices of the next crop. Buyers are interested on cheap differentials, and cheap futures. Brazil weather is forecast to show dry conditions, but no cold weather. Current crop development is still good this year. Central America crops are seeing good rains now. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are higher today and are about 2.745 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 117.86 ct/lb. Brazil should get dry weather except for some showers in the northeast. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get scattered showers, and Central America and Mexico should get showers, and rains. Temperatures should average near to above normal. ICE said that 0 delivery notices were posted against July today and that total deliveries for the month are now 810 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 120.00, 117.00, and 116.00 September, and resistance is at 125.00, 126.00, and 127.00 September. Trends in London are up with objectives of 1900 September. Support is at 1820, 1790, and 1755 September, and resistance is at 1880, 1905, and 1940 September. Trends in Sao Paulo are mixed. Support is at 143.50, 140.00, and 137.00 September, and resistance is at 148.00, 150.00, and 151.00 September.
General Comments: Futures closed lower in range trading. Many are waiting for the US and European grind data to be released next week to see how strong the demand is right now. Ideas of good harvest weather and active movement of beans to ports in western Africa remain. The cash market in Africa is slow right now as buyers have already bought and are now waiting to see how the main crop turns out late this year. The weather is good in West Africa, with more moderate temperatures and some rains. Some showers are appearing again in Ivory Coast this week, and the rest of the region is in good condition. Ivory Coast will still need more rain. Malaysia and Indonesia crops appear to be in good condition and weather is called favorable. Chart trends are mixed, but price action is weak.
Overnight News: Scattered showers are expected in West Africa. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see episodes of isolated showers. Temperatures should average near normal. Brazil will get mostly dry conditions and warm temperatures. ICE certified stocks are higher today at 4.886 million bags. ICE said that 1 delivery notice were posted today and that total deliveries for the month are 376 contracts.

Internet service providers in the U.K. have rejected a website blacklist maintained by the Internet Watch Foundation, a private charity notorious for its bungled attempts to censor pages at Wikipedia and the Internet Archive.
From The Register:
ISPs have rejected a call by childrens' charities to implement the government's approved blocklist for images of child sexual abuse, because the list does not stop anyone who wants to accessing such material.
On Monday a coalition including the NSPCC and Barnardo's sounded warnings that 700,000 homes could access websites hosting images of abuse because small ISPs do not filter their networks. The charities aimed to put pressure on the government to force them to implement the Internet Watch Foundation's blocklist, pointing out that in 2006 ministers said all providers should do so by the end of 2007.
In January, internet service providers blocked access to the Internet Archive at the IWF's say so, and last year, British users were blocked from Wikipedia's editing functions after it flagged a Scorpions' album cover as child porn.
Letting a cabal of unaccountable, self-selected net nannies bully ISPs into blocking swathes of the internet serves no credible end: the IWF admits its system is easily circumvented by criminals. The whole thing is a game of moral panic, intricately patterned around the British belief that you can prevent bad people from thinking about a bad thing simply by removing the suggestion of it from public view.

Princeton University
Current Position
Dr. Brody is also a professor in the Princeton Neuroscience Institute and the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University.
Current Research
Quantitative and Computational Systems Neuroscience Laboratory
Decision time. You've just sampled two flavors of ice cream, and you need to tell the person behind the counter whether you want rocky road or mint chip. What your brain needs to do is to consider the two options that are stored in your short-term memory and decide between them.
Memory storage and decision making are both complex functions, and one might assume that neurons divide the labor among themselves. In reality, researchers have found that individual neurons in the prefrontal cortex, where these types of decisions are made, flip from memory storage to decision-making mode in the blink of an eye. Carlos Brody, a neuroscientist at Princeton University, wants to know: "What controls that switch?"
Brody began his career as a computational neuroscientist, creating computer models to explain how neurons in the prefrontal cortex make decisions under different circumstances. "We found that by changing the input, you could change [neurons' activities] from short-term memory to decision making," he says. "We're imagining that there might be either another part of the prefrontal cortex, or another cortical area, that exerts higher-level control, determining whether the prefrontal cortex is doing short-term memory or decision making."
Much of neural regulation depends on the balance of how neurons excite or inhibit the firing of other neurons, a mechanism Brody thinks is at work here. A small amount of inhibition, and the neurons stay in short-term memory mode; a larger amount, and they flip into decision-making mode. But, says Brody, "It's just a model. What we want to do now is figure out: Is it right or is it wrong?"
Answering that question means studying real animals. Most computational neuroscientists would have passed the task along to an experimental biologist. But Brody wanted to do it himself. He felt it was important to be directly involved in the experiments that would let him test and refine his models. "These experiments are difficult to do, and we're not really sure what the exact right test is. Developing the tests and the models side by side will make that process much, much faster," he says.
Brody's computer model was created by using data obtained from monkey studies carried out in the laboratory of Ranulfo Romo (an HHMI International Research Scholar), where Brody was a postdoctoral fellow. The monkeys had been trained to make decisions between choices stored in their short-term memory. Brody decided to try setting up a more efficient system, because his own lab was not well equipped to care for and train monkeys.
"We thought, if we could develop the same kind of behaviors in rats, maybe we—and other groups—could do tests much faster," he says. "Nobody else was developing the particular behavior [needed to test the model] in rats." Others thought examining such complex behaviors in rodents was impossible. That didn't stop Brody.
In collaboration with Zachary Mainen's and Anthony Zador's labs at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Brody and his colleagues developed a system that trains large numbers of rats at once—by computer. Instead of sitting with one animal at a time, a single researcher can now oversee 20 animals while the computer offers each one a set of choices, determines when to reward the animal, when to increase repetitions, and when to move on to the next step. At day's end, the researcher gets a progress report and can adjust settings, revise computer code, or set up a whole new approach.
The automated system allows researchers to expand their studies and begin to investigate different types of decision making. The system has been so successful that researchers at other institutions, including groups at HHMI's Janelia Farm Research Campus, have begun using it to train their animals.
For Brody, the automated system is helping him test his model of how the brain prompts neurons to switch tasks. He's training his rats to respond to certain sounds. "The rats hear two sounds separated in time," he explains. "The first is a set of clicks. Then there's a gap, and then they hear another set of clicks. They have to decide which of the two had the higher frequency of clicks." The rats signal their decision by turning one way or the other, and they get a reward for a right answer. The behavior forces the rats to use their short-term memory, and then make a decision.
Once the animals learn their task, Brody's group attaches bundles of precisely spaced wires to their brains to measure the activity of individual neurons. The differences in those signals are then correlated with the rats' sensory function and motor activity. "Now we're going to look at their firing patterns as they engage in the behavior, and see if they conform to our model," Brody says. If they do, he plans to administer drugs to alter the level of inhibition in the prefrontal cortex, and see if this compels the rats to make decisions more quickly. Brody isn't stopping there. He plans to put the flexibility and speed of his rat-training methods to use in investigating other aspects of cognition.
Thinking about what he's accomplished with his crossover into experimentation, Brody calls it a gamble that paid off. "In retrospect, it was totally crazy," he laughs. "But it seems to be working out."

First Time Mum, looking for tips in Expressing Breastmilk and Breastmilk Storage
Good day Mums,
I am a first time Mum and I have a few questions.
I am exclusively direct breastfeeding my little one for 16 months now. I am planning to apply for a job which requires me to report in the office for at least 6 hours a day. So here's my concern, my daughter never used a feeding bottle since I'm a stay-at-home Mum, how do I teach her to use and drink expressed milk from the bottle? How do I express milk? Is it better to hand express or use a breast pump? How do I store it?
Thank you so much Mums.
29th April 2014 11:16 PM #2
Hi Tina,
Welcome to the Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond forum - it's good to have you join us here.
Congratulations on your healthy breastfeeding relationship with your daughter - this is great to hear. At this age I would advise that your daughter drinks the expressed breastmilk from a cup. Have you heard of the doidy cup? The doidy cup is recommended by speech and language therapists because it strengthens important muscles in the mouth and does not lead to the teeth protruding (like a bottle can). It is also a good transition cup from drinking directly at the breast.
If you did want to use a bottle then there are those which try to simulate the breastfeeding latch: such as the Breastflow. However, it is quite likely that your daughter won't want to use a bottle (this is not a problem - its great that she has had all that direct access to the breast) and it also wouldn't be best for her teeth.
How is her eating? Do you practice 'baby led weaning'? Does she drink any cows milk (its fine if not but I just wondered if she had this in a cup)?
Some mums prefer a manual breastpump and some an electric breastpump. Some hospitals/breastfeeding groups will allow you to hire them and this would be best as then you can try both. Have a look at this article on expressing breastmilk. In this previous post I go through the advantages of each type of pump. I hope you find this helpful.
In terms of storing the breastmilk; you can safely keep expressed breastmilk:
- at room temperature for 8-10 hours
- in the fridge for 8 days (it is best stored at the back of the fridge)
- in the freezer for 3-12 months depending on the type of freezer and how often the freezer door is opened
Milk storage bags are great for storing your breastmilk in. Another option is to use a plastic container in the fridge or a glass container in the freezer. Note that the expressed breastmilk needs to be gently shaken before given to the baby because it will separate into the hindmilk and foremilk layers.
Your employer must give you breaks to express your breastmilk in a suitable private room and give you access to a suitable fridge to store it in.
Please don't hesitate to post back if you have any further questions about this.
Warm wishes,

Hi LJ,
Thank you for the quick response.
I tried giving her expressed breastmilk in a cup, she took a few sips, I think she knows it's Mum's milk. she finished it. I'm so happy. I might not try giving her expressed breastmilk in a bottle, she uses Pigeon bottles for water and juices, she didn't like the milk in the bottle. I am now working on building a stash, I do manual hand expression by the way, my input is only 2oz.
Regarding her feeding, yes she is on baby led weaning since her first intake of solid foods at 6 months old. I came across this method thru internet research. The BLW method is so great, she eats practically almost anything, except for nuts of course. We didn't give her mashed veggies, she started with ripe avocado then steamed vegetables.

Hi Tina,
It sounds like you are doing a great job. I'm glad that she took expressed breastmilk in a cup. You should find expressing gets easier and quicker. Obviously once your daughter is at the breast less if you express at the the times she would have been feeding you will be able to express this milk. It takes a few days for the body to adapt to any change in supply.
Yes baby led weaning is great isn't it. It helps the baby to eat at their pace and does not substitute from the breastmilk.
Warm wishes,

UPDATE 3-30-14: Bruce Weber named a leading candidate by both the Chicago Sun-Times and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Still nothing definitive on Bruce Weber leaving Kansas State to become the Head Coach at Marquette. Here's what we reported Monday morning, and analyzed why and why not Bruce Weber to MU would make sense. Nothing's changed since then, other than what seems like the entire Milwaukee media, at least the whole television contingent, seriously jumping the gun on Shaka Smart to MU rumors.
All based off one tweet from a student television station producer. Yes, that's actually exactly what happened. No Shaka, but Ben Howland has emerged as possibly the leading candidate.
Also in the mix are Mike Hopkins and Brian Wardle. And of course Bruce Weber. Like I said before, nothing has been negotiated between the two sides. At this point we don't even know if Weber's camp is talking to MU. That said, it's still entertaining to watch all the Kansas State fans already assume he's gone and wish Bruce Weber well. And to see Marquette fans celebrate the idea of his hire.
Even though that's not even close to happening right now.
It's also amusing to see Illini fans poke some fun at all this with a college basketball message board infinite loop here.
And here some of the more spirited Bruce Weber thread commenters from this post and tweeters from the interwebs.
Marquette booster says:
DO THIS NOW! I want Weber! PROVEN WINNER!
Terri Mitchell says:
This would be a sweet revenge for K-State beating us out for the WNIT championship we worked so hard for.
Chris Farley says:
Hey you kids are probably saying to yourselves: I'm gonna go out there and grab the world by the tail! and wrap it around and pull it down and put it in my pocket. Well I'm here to tell you that you're probably going to find out, as you go out there, that you're not going to amount to jack squat without Bruce Weber!
Logan Rogerwitz says:
This is what we call a "home run hire" #GOMARQUETTEEAGLES
Torstein Bjornsen says:
I swear I will not renew my season tickets if my Golden Eagles blow dis opportunity of a lifetime #WEBER4MARQUETTE
I want to wish Coach Bruce Weber all the best, as he returns to his home town to coach Marquette! #Weber4Marquette #WeAreMarquette

If there is a god please have him/her take @coachbruceweber to Marquette.
— Gooch (@Gooch_goEMAW) March 23, 2014
If Bruce Weber gets a Marquette offer and goes it will turn into the single most entertaining event the K-State twitter world has seen.
