First Person
It's My PartyBy David Pablo Cohn
How many hotheaded academics does it take to solve a riddle?
I don't know what the best thing was about Jim Propp's parties. They were a crystalline picture of the specialized, rarefied company I kept when I lived in Cambridge in the midnineties, parked on Mass. Ave. halfway between Harvard and MIT. Profs, postdocs, and assorted academic keepsakes from the cream of Boston academia all piled into Jim's Victorian four-square house in Somerville for an evening of … well, we never quite knew what the evening would bring.
Technically, these were "word game" parties. Each was planned around a series of intellectual challenges arranged around the house more or less like evil wizards, ax-wielding dwarves, or more mundane impediments in a typical game of Dungeons & Dragons. You'd team up with a couple friends (or the pretty redhead who was probably dating one of your professors, if you could), and make your way from room to room, solving bits and pieces of puzzles that—if you were lucky—you could string together for the grand solution. The prize was bragging rights until the next party, six months down the line.
In any case, it all began with the invitation. Twice a year, a mysterious envelope would appear. I remember the first one I received: a single sheet with nothing but a swirling Spirograph flower on one side, and the letters RSVP below it. Where, when, and how were left to the recipient, presumably after he or she had coaxed the secret out of the cryptic drawing. Read More

CRK405BXS: Ripple Blue Pocket Worn
Columbia River Knife & Tool
Columbia River Knife & Tool and noted knife designer Ken Onion are proud to introduce their collaboration, the Ripple K405 folding knife series.
This knife is noteworthy for its exceptional manufacturing quality, premium stainless steel build, plus an almost unbelievable silky smooth and fast opening action thanks to the use of the IKBS internal knife ball-bearing system.
The modified drop point blade has a high hollow grind, swedged top edge, and a high satin finish. Steel is premium Acuto, stainless, noted for its high chromium and molybdenum content and hardness of 59-60 HRC. It is instantly opened by pressing the blade flipper with either hand. For safety while closed, the blade has a ball detent.
Even the best conventional blade pivot bearings have some degree of friction which resists initial movement, or "stiction." In contrast, the Ripple blade opening action is almost friction-free due to the IKBS ball-bearing system. This innovative and simple design places eight uncaged ball bearings on each side of the blade pivot in races which are machined into the stainless steel handle. It is compact and adjustable at the blade pivot screw if ever needed. Not only is opening and closing exceptionally smooth, the IKBS system is durable and requires little maintenance, and yields a folder with great rigidity and no blade play.
The Ripple K405BXS is a frame lock open build knife with stainless steel frames. In typical Ken Onion attention to detail, the frame lock does not create an unsightly gap in the right frame, but its cut is neatly integrated into the grip design of the frame, which is CNC machined with a complex "ripple" textured pattern plus 44 small lightening holes.
The Ripple K405BXS receives an ultramarine blue titanium nitride coating, which is then hand buff to give a pocket worn look, that is to lightly reveal the underlying stainless steel on the high points.
The Ripple K405BXS features a combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point serrated cutting edge.
This model features a removable stainless steel mirror-polished pocket clip, high-mounted, and also with small CNC-drilled holes.
This knife combines brilliant design, custom knife quality and advanced manufacturing technology in true Ken Onion fashion.

Author White's Book Reviews
Belle Prater's Boy
This book is about a girl whose aunt disappears and her cousin comes to live with her mom, stepdad, grandma and grandpa because his father can't take care of him. You can't stop reading and get back into it awhile later. you have to read it fast to be able to understand it. ...
Buttermilk Hill
"Buttermilk Hill" continues the saga of the Lamberts, a family that readers will remember from White's 1992 novel "Weeping Willow." "Weeping Willow" centers on Tiny Lambert, while "Buttermilk Hill" is narrated by Tiny's daughter, Piper Berry. When the novel opens, Piper is a carefree 10-year-old living in a North Carolina trailer park. She spends her days fishing and listening to stories with her best Lindy; although Lindy and Piper are the same age, ...
Memories Of Summer
Memories of Summer is about two loving, unseparable sisters, the youngest one is Lyric, and the other one is Summer.Together with their dad, they move to Flint,Michigan to start a new life. Soon, Summer starts scratching her face, talking to imaginary people-who she believes are her grandpa and grandma. Lyric and her dad take her to the doctor. They find out that Summer has schizophrenia-a mental illness. ...
Weeping Willow
14-year-old Tiny Lambert is struggling to preserve dreams and ideals amidst the hard-knocks of rural Virginia. White's novel, which spans Tiny's turbulent high school years, evokes both the nostalgic charm of the late 1950s and the innocence-defying trials of female adolescence. Tiny has never known her birth-father; he enlisted in World War 2 and left Tiny's mother (Hazel) alone and pregnant at the age of 16. In order to support the illegitimate ch...

By Bill Sheets Herald Writer
Trish King of Lake Stevens writes: We have two new roundabouts on N. Davies Road at Frontier Village. Please explain how these should work.
I thought, like a stop sign, the first person to arrive has the right of way. If two cars arrive at the same time, the one on the right has the right of way. That is not what's happening. People just barrel through like it's a game of chicken.
Street Smarts responds: A roundabout should be approached not like a four-way stop, but rather as if you're making a right turn from a parking lot onto a street. If there's a car coming from the left, you wait; if not, you go. It's that simple.
Most roundabouts don't have stop signs — there's no need to stop except to yield to an approaching car. Just as you don't want to pull out in front of a moving car on a street, you don't want to pull out in front of a car in a roundabout. Just as you don't stop in the middle of a street, you don't stop in a roundabout.
Just like on a street, a car inside a roundabout has the right-of-way over a car waiting to enter. However, the waiting driver has some discretion. If a car is inside the roundabout but to the driver's right or on the opposite side, and the driver feels she may safely enter, she may do so. If two drivers arrive at the same time from different streets, each may proceed if there is no traffic approaching from the left.
The main rule to remember is simply to look to the left as you approach and use your best driver's judgment from there.
The state Department of Transportation has a helpful online guide regarding how to drive a roundabout at www.wsdot.wa.gov/safety/roundabouts/.
Donn Franklin of Lake Stevens writes: I was wondering if there is a schedule for repaving the westbound lanes of the U.S. 2 trestle. I recently rode my motorcycle across and the surface conditions of the road noticeably affect the control of a bike. It's a little bit scary in some places.
Also, does the Department of Transportation have any online source for such information? I looked for awhile but did not find my answer so I thought I would try The Herald.
Dave Chesson, a spokesman for the transportation department, responds: The U.S. 2 westbound trestle was last paved in 2001 and 2002. It is not currently scheduled for repaving. We carefully evaluate pavement conditions every two years — on the state's biennial budget cycle — to determine if paving is needed.
Our headquarters materials lab then prioritizes pavement projects, taking into consideration items such as age of the pavement, number of vehicles traveling on the highway, and pavement conditions such as rutting, cracking, etc.
Prioritizing projects is important for several reasons. We don't want to repave a highway before it's necessary, because that would be wasteful. At the same time, if we wait too long, costs can increase dramatically due to increased maintenance and-or damage to the roadbed.
We also prioritize projects because the statewide need is greater than the funding available. Our investment program helps ensure that the right projects are done at the right time. The highest-priority projects are proposed for upcoming legislative budgets. This section of U.S. 2 is scheduled to be evaluated this summer for consideration in the 2015-2017 budget.
Anyone may visit the DOT's projects website for a searchable database of all current and recently completed projects at www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects. For more information about our pavement preservation program visit: http://tinyurl.com/cvy2skp.

SpaceX's Dragon Arrives at the ISS Successfully for First Official Cargo Run
Tiffany Kaiser
October 10, 2012 1:44 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Dragon arrived at the orbiting station early Wednesday morning
SpaceX's Dragon capsule successfully made it to the International Space Station (ISS) early this morning, where it will unload nearly 1,000 pounds of cargo for the next few weeks.
The unmanned Dragon capsule
set off toward the ISS Sunday night
, and arrived at the orbiting station early Wednesday morning. Astronauts on the ISS used a robot arm to securely latch the Dragon to the space station about 250 miles above the Pacific, just west of Baja California.
"Looks like we've tamed the Dragon," said Sunita Williams, ISS commander. "We're happy she's on board with us."
The Dragon's hatch will be opened tomorrow, where astronauts will begin unloading the cargo inside. Right now, Dragon contains 882 pounds of scientific experiments, groceries, clothes and other items. The capsule will return to Earth with twice as much cargo.
This week's venture to the ISS marks
Dragon's second journey to the ISS
. It originally made a test flight back in May of this year, but this particular trip marks the first official cargo run as part of a $1.6 billion contract with NASA. This contract locks SpaceX in to 12 total cargo runs to the ISS through 2015.
While today's linkup at the ISS was a successful one, the entire trip wasn't perfect. A prototype communications satellite aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket (which launched Dragon to the ISS) was sent into the wrong orbit due to one of the Falcon 9s' Merlin engines shutting down early during Sunday night's launch. Orbcomm, the company that owns the prototype OG2 satellite, said it was "deposited into a lower-than-intended orbit." The company is now analyzing whether the satellite can use its onboard propulsion system to adjust its orbit.
Aside from that malfunction, all went well for
the SpaceX mission
. Dragon is due to return to Earth near the end of October, after all cargo is unloaded and reloaded.
SpaceX, a private space transport company from California, stepped in as America's new form of transportation to the ISS after NASA retired its space shuttle fleet throughout 2011. This retirement left American astronauts with no way to get to the ISS, except onboard a Russian Soyuz rocket -- which has become pretty pricey.
It was clear that the U.S. needed a new way to send supplies to and from the ISS, and SpaceX was happy to provide its Dragon capsule and Falcon 9 rocket.
Dragon is set to make its next cargo run for the NASA contact in January 2013.
SpaceX is also working on a Dragon capsule that can be manned by astronauts, and hopes to send the first manned Dragon to the ISS between 2015 and 2017.

Seattle, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - San Francisco 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury and was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
After Bowman pulled the ball loose from Jermaine Kearse near the goal line, the Seattle wide receiver fell on Bowman's extended left leg, bending it sideways.
Bowman came to rest with the ball but the Seahawks kept possession and the linebacker was quickly carted off.
After the 49ers lost the game 23-17, coach Jim Harbaugh said preliminary tests showed Bowman likely had an ACL injury.
Bowman, 25, had 145 tackles and five sacks in 16 games this past season. The Pro Bowl linebacker has been durable, playing 16 games in all of his four NFL seasons and registering at least 143 tackles in each of the last three.

Palm Springs is a lovely place to visit for a vacation. Rental properties offer houses and condos to make your stay comfortable. They offer facilities such as hot tubs, pools, outdoor grills, internet access, and cable television to help make your stay the best possible time.
There are many fun and interesting museums to visit in Palm Springs. For example, the Palm Springs Air Museum has many different types of airplanes. The museum teaches visitors about our military forces and their history with planes and other vehicles. Conversely, the Palm Springs Art Museum has collections of art from many different artists. They have many permanent and some traveling exhibits so the museum is always changing. A unique museum is the Ruddy's General Store Museum. From the moment you walk in the door, you are transported back in time to the 1930s. This replica general store looks are authentic including the showcases, fixtures, and signs.
There are many beautiful nature trails in Palm Springs. One example is the Murray Canyon Trail, an easy to moderate trail just south of the Andreas Canyon. You may see wildlife along the trail that leads to a recreation area. Another nice trail is the South Lykken Trail. It is a moderately difficult trail with beautiful views of Palm Springs, Mt. San Jacinto, and the Coachella Valley. There are other wonderful trails in Palm Springs to explore as well.
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is a one of a kind ride. You will experience a breathtaking view as you travel up the sheer cliff of the Chino Canyon. It is a 10 minute ride from the bottom, Valley Station at elevation 2,643 feet, to the top, Mountain Station at elevation 8516 feet. At the top, you can dine at Peak's Restaurant and enjoy the spectacular view. Hiking in the beautiful wilderness land and skiing are available seasonally as well.
Palm Springs is located about midway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Beyond the many exciting activities in Palm Springs, these two locations have even more fun to offer. From world famous zoos and Sea World in San Diego to Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles, there will always be something to do
The weather in Palm Springs can get very hot in the summers. The average temperatures for June through September are over 100F. The winter months, however, are really quite pleasant with averages in the 70s. Spring and fall see average temperatures in the 70s and 80s. It rarely rains in Palm Springs so the sun is shining most of the time. The best time to visit Palm Springs is in the winter months. The spring and fall months are also pleasant most of the time.
Palm Springs is easily accessible by car. It is close to an interstate highway and other highways and local roads that you can use. Some people choose to rent a car for their vacation, so this is another option. Taking the Amtrak train to Palm Springs is another excellent choice. There are actually three Palm Springs stations for the Amtrak train so you can get to where you are going more easily. In addition, there is the Palm Springs International Airport. This is also conveniently located for ease of travel. No matter how you get to Palm Springs, you are sure to enjoy your trip.

I was wondering how to do it.
In airodump it seems to be possible to count the data packets leaving a device. It should be possible to analyze the encrypted size of each packet, discard the encryption overhead to have a rough guess of the currently used bandwidth of the network. Maintain some logging and it should be possible to guess the maximum bandwidth.
Sadly, tcp sequences are encrypted, else it would be possible to guess response times..
Anyone know of a program that does this ?

The difficulty many of us have is focusing on our relational choice as an act of worship and not the behavior or 'worthiness' of the other. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, Dr. Van Dyke focuses on the relational dances we perform. Each individual is constantly imbedded in multiple contexts that provide possibilities and constraints. These mutual-influencing cycles between the individual and their contexts are the focus of Dr. Van Dyke's teaching and scholarship. His interests are adolescents and their families and integration of Christian faith and systems thinking. In addition to his teaching and scholarship, he has a small practice working with couples and families in Wheaton. In his personal time he likes traveling with his family, cheering (maybe too enthusiastically) his four children on in their activities, and occasionally ruining a good walk by chasing a golf ball around the woods.

Say Hello to Career Certainty:
You do not have to feel uncertain about your future. Of course no one can predict the future, but you can take control of where your professional career is going. The Executive Apprentice Program from the Center for Career & Professional Development is the way to take control and learn all the skills you need to transfer your knowledge to a career.
Some Details...
The Executive Apprentice Program is a 9 month long career and professionalism boot camp for up to 50 students, designed specifically to put you in control of your life after college. A select group of students will be exposed to campus, community and industry leaders while being mentored by our career coaches. Students will engage in career and professionalism workshops, fireside chats with employers, employer led discussions and information sessions, and practice interviews and etiquette situations. To put it simply, participants will practice professionalism until it is second nature.
This program is designed to transform any student, who is interested, into the professional they want to be. With that said, it is a 9 month commitment. Only those motivated to succeed will do well in this program and are encouraged to apply. All you have to bring to the table is motivation and a hard work ethic . We can guide you through the rest.
The Goal:
There is only one goal in mind, a career portfolio worthy of a job offer or an acceptance letter to graduate school, and we are leveraging all our resources to help students meet their goals.
What is included?
Here is a sampling of what each Executive Apprentice receives:
- Mentoring from our professional career coaches
- Participant only exposure to employers during information sessions and fireside chats
- Opportunity to network with the elite key players on campus and in the community
- First access to our employers at our career fairs and employer events
- Career Portfolio preparation, including Executive Apprentice identity business cards and padfolio
- Job Shadowing Experiences
- Professional Photos
"Without Career Services, I would not be where I am today. WKU gave me insight to life after college, but the Career Services staff prepared me to handle that life. I was able to practice what I learned in class for my Graphic Design degree during my employment by Career Services... With the help of all the CSC staff, I built a stunning resume, wrote inspired entrance essays, and prepared for all types of interviews that led to my current position. I was accepted to some top communications graduate schools in the country and received a Presidential scholarship that covered over half of my tuition to Emerson college in Boston, MA. In addition to my attendance to Emerson, I also found a full time job as the Graphic Designer and Web Developer for Armstrong Advisory Group, a family run financial advising firm. The staff at CSC helped me prepare my graphic design resume as well as encouraged my success in both a phone and personal interview that led to my job in less than 3 months after graduation. Thank you Career Services for all of your support and inspiration!"
--Hanna Demirjian, former CSC intern

Ratings for Dr. Joel S. Saal
I am very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Joel Saal. I have a herniated disk, and I first saw a chiropractor, who was no help at all. I was then referred to Dr. Saal by a friend who had seen him for a herniated disk. I was in very bad shape and was not able to do anything. Dr. Saal did an MRI, treated me with cortizone, and referred me to a physical therapist whom he highly recommended. It is apparent that Dr. Saal is a perfectionist, but his staff seems to have great respect for him, and I certainly do. He takes his work very seriously, and while he is not a warm and fuzzy personality, his about his patients
I can't tell you how surprised I was to find no other comments on the brilliance of Dr. Joel Saal. I had endured excruciating and increasingly frequent severe back spasms due to a car accident in my teens for YEARS. I tried everything and thought I would have to live with constant pain, and the possibility of being unable to drive for fear of a spasm while driving. I went to the regular MD, Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Accupuncture, and some PT and while some helped with momentary symptoms, none were able to reduce the frequency or severity of the spasms. I went to Dr. Saal thinking I would have more of the same, but after an MRI, he gave me an injection of Cortizone (of which I had already had several, though not with this precise delivery). I attended PT as soon as able, and followed up with another injection. That was now a couple of years ago, and the spasms are almost totally gone. He may not do as much hand holding as some would wish, but his ideas work. He cares and heals!
I feel Dr. Joel Saal did a terrific job helping me avoid some very invasive surgery. He treated a condition that other doctors had said would require fusion of several vertebrae with less invasive techniques, then when it became obvious I needed something else done, referred me to an excellent surgeon who performed a minimally invasive procedure that was much less drastic than fusion. Dr. Saal also does acupuncture, and is open to treatment modalities that do not fit the standard Western "chop shop" mentality. He seems to be a great believer in physical therapy and changing behaviors to lessen a patients pain.
Late, late, late. Obviously never looked at my medical history. Very unprofessional.
I read the review of Dr. Jeff Saal, and I have to say that his brother is very similar. I saw Dr. Saal for an EMG (a nerve conduction study), which cost $1100 out-of-pocket. He spent half an hour shocking me (which is what is required in the study), not looking at me once. He never shook hands, he completely ignored my husband, and discouraged any interaction by refusing to make eye contact and pausing a long time to answer questions. When I asked him to tell me his thoughts on the results of the EMG, he stated that because I was only seeing him for the EMG and another doctor was overseeing my case,"That would be at best, unhelpful, and at worst, disruptive." Not very reassuring, especially when you're not feeling well and you've been shocked for half-an-hour. All my other experiences with the SOAR medical group have been outstanding. I hope these guys don't drag down their reputation.

Advanced Technology to Boost Your Intelligent Systems
Discover technologies that lower costs, increase security, and simplify the management of embedded devices
The proliferation of interconnected smart devices has revolutionized how people and organizations interact, communicate, and work. As demand for devices with greater connectivity and functionality grows so does concern for power management, data transfer, and security. Intel® processors are designed to meet these challenges with advanced technology to simplify the deployment, management, and security of intelligent systems.
Packet Processing on Intel® Architecture
With Intel® processors, it's possible to transition from using discrete architectures per major workload (application, control, packet, and signal processing) to a single architecture that consolidates the workloads into a more scalable and simplified solution. As a result, developers may be able to eliminate special-purpose hardware, such as network processors (NPUs), co-processors, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
Consolidate workloads with packet processing on Intel® architecture >
Signal Processing on Intel® Architecture
Signal processing functions have often required special-purpose hardware, such as digital signal processors (DSPs) and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). However, recent enhancements to Intel® architecture processors are providing developers an alternative: the ability to execute signal processing workloads on an Intel® processor.
See how signal processing on Intel® architecture can simplify embedded design development >
Intel Thermal and Power Management Technology
Embedded developers understand the profound impact power consumption has on end-user utility bills, device form factor, and attainable performance, as well as battery runtime for mobile devices. A very effective way to manage power consumption is to put the system into a lower power state when the system workload decreases. Intel® processors support a number of power states that enable substantial power savings.
Improve battery life with Intel thermal and power management technology >
Intel® QuickAssist Accelerator Technology for Embedded Systems
As the complexity of networking and security applications continues to grow, systems need more and more computational resources for workloads, including cryptography, data compression, and pattern matching. Intel® QuickAssist Technology is designed to optimize the use and deployment of algorithm accelerators in these kinds of applications.
Boost embedded systems with Intel® QuickAssist Accelerator >
Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Technology
Hardware-based Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)1 improves the fundamental flexibility and robustness of traditional software-based virtualization solutions by accelerating key functions of the virtualized platform. This efficiency offers benefits to the IT, embedded developer, and intelligent systems communities.
Design flexible intelligent systems with Intel® Virtualization Technology >
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology
Trusted compute pools with Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)2 support IT compliance by protecting virtualized data centers' private, public, and hybrid clouds against attacks toward hypervisor and BIOS, firmware, and other pre-launch software components.
Build secure embedded designs with Intel® Trusted Execution Technology >
Intel® Data Protection Technology for Transactions
Using a combination of hardware authentication and end-to-end encryption, Intel® Data Protection Technology for Transactions is designed to secure data from the moment a transaction is initiated all the way through the storage of the encrypted information on retailer and bank server networks.

pH Level
Human hair has a natural pH (called its isoelectric point) of around 4.5. Any product with a pH higher than that is therefore alkaline with respect to the hair, which makes it inherently more drying and damaging to the cuticle and the fatty acid layers on the surface of and within the cuticle. Many of the surfactants used for shampoos are stable only in a narrow pH range—often between 5-7. For this reason, the majority of shampoos are formulated to be around 6 on the pH scale. It is possible to obtain a gentler product by formulating it to have a pH of around 4.5 - 5.5, closer to the natural state of hair (pH = 4-4.5), but it must contain surfactants that are stable at that pH. These types of products will usually have citric acid or some other mild acid near the end of the ingredients list. You can order pH test strips if you want to check out some of the products in your bathroom yourself.
Some ingredients to look for when choosing a gentle or mild shampoo for your hair are:
- cocamidopropyl betaine and other betaine surfactants
- carboxylate surfactants
- sodium lauroyl lactylate, sodium caproyl lactylate
- sodium laurylglucosides hydroxypropyl sulfonate
- cocoglucosides hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride
- sodium cocoamphopropionate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate
- nonionic polymeric surfactants
- lauryl-glucoside sodium maleate crosspolymer, lauryl-glucoside sodium succinate crosspolymer, decyl-glucoside sodium maleate crosspolymer
In conclusion, it is important to remember that a shampoo is comprised of a number of ingredients meant to work together to achieve the goal of clean, manageable hair. The label does not reveal the entire story, but it can allow us to glean important clues as to whether a particular shampoo might be more or less inclined to strip our curls of too much moisture. A single ingredient (or lack thereof) is not sufficient to predict the performance of a particular product, and the list of mild surfactants is in no way comprehensive. It is important to consider the total ingredient list, where one should be looking for not only certain types of cleansing agents, but also various combinations of different types of surfactants, polymers, oils, and other conditioning agents (humectants, vitamins, etc.). Physical properties such as pH also play a role in the mildness of a shampoo.
So, when selecting a new product, consider all of these factors in your evaluation. As always, if you find something that works for you and that you like, consider that to be your most valuable bit of scientific data and keep using it, even if the "science" says it might be harmful. In contrast, if the "science" says that a product should be good and gentle (i.e. "sulfate-free"), but your hair responds poorly to it, listen to that information as well! Only you know what you want most from your curls.

Gone is the stark delivery room and administration of heavy duty anesthetics. Parents now have more choices than ever as to the environment into which their babies will be born.
With the growing openness of medical staff to complementary and alternative therapies, now often called integrative medicine, moms-to-be are investigating and choosing new options for delivering their babies. As a result, parents now have more birthing choices than ever before.
Giving Moms a Helping Hand
A doula, or birth assistant, is a professional woman, or at times a man, hired privately by parents to attend their child's birth. A doula serves the role as support and coach for the laboring woman. The doula does not replace the role of partner, and, very importantly, is not a member of the health care team. A doula is present solely to attend to the laboring mom. Usually trained and experienced in childbirth, doulas can serve as a stand-in when dad is not available. But doulas can be an asset for any mother. Many parents hire doulas even if dad is present.
Since doctors may not have worked with a birth assistant before, most doulas accompany moms to a prenatal visit in order to meet the doctor before the big day. Once the medical staff knows the doula is there for support and not to replace or interfere with them, they are likely to welcome this additional member of the team.
Doulas can be available weeks in advance to help an anxious mother before delivery by answering questions. They can also be helpful after the mother and infant come home. They help new mothers with feeding, recovery, and newborn care. A postpartum doula helps with the transition a family faces with a new baby in the home.
Studies Support Doulas' Role
Studies show that doulas have positive medical effects on both mother and baby. A study published in the British Medical Journal suggested that doulas result in fewer cesareans and shorter labors for mothers, and a lower admission rate to neonatal intensive care for infants.
A review found that continuous support by a doula reduces anxiety, shortens labor, decreases the need for cesarean deliveries and other forms of assisted birth, and reduces rates of postpartum depression.
The Wetter, the Better
Water can smooth away aches, drain off tension, and float us into a state of bliss. It's no surprise, then, that many moms who labor and/or deliver their babies in a birthing pool say that they experience less pain and greater relaxation.
These benefits may be passed on to the infant as well. It is considered safe, but there is no evidence supporting that it is better than a conventional birth. Water-immersion birth benefits may include:
- Less discomfort —In water, the mother can move into any position that makes her comfortable. This may encourage an easier birth.
- Less trauma —Proponents of waterbirths also believe the method is less traumatic for babies.
- Smoother transition —The easier transition is partly a response to the relaxed state of the mother, and partly due to water's insulating effects. The water environment is similar to the uterus. This helps muffle sound and keeps out harsh light, which keeps the baby comfortable.
Caution Regarding Waterbirthing
Despite its increasing popularity, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Academy of Pediatrics do not support water-immersion birth. The concern among the groups is that if the baby starts breathing under water, the soiled water may cause an infection. Because there haven't been enough studies to find any benefit with water-immersion births, both groups feel that more research needs to be done before they can endorse it.
Pain, Pain, Go Away
The bad news is that labor will probably hurt. The good news is that there are many nonpharmaceutical options when it comes to managing the discomfort.
Relaxation Techniques
The first step to pain management is relaxation. The tenser you are, the higher the sensation of pain.
Relaxation starts with the environment. Even in the hospital, you can dim the lights, play soft music, light candles, or use aromatherapy to create a safe feeling. Aromatherapy may reduce the perception of labor pain. Other relaxation techniques include massage, showers, and baths.
The mind is one of the most effective pain-fighting tools available. Hypnotism, visualization, and imagery are all methods moms have used for pain relief, and there is some scientific support for their use.
Alternative Remedies
Acupressure and acupuncture have been studied as natural treatments for reducing labor pain. Each of these methods may offer some benefits, but more research is needed.
Although red raspberry is an herb traditionally used during pregnancy and labor, a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the effects of red raspberry in 192 pregnant women failed to find benefit.
The herb blue cohosh is sometimes recommended by midwives, but it is a toxic herb and should not be used.
Have It Your Way
When planning your baby's birth, investigate the options and be realistic about your personality and desires. Work with your doctor or midwife early on, and check policies of the hospital or birthing center you've selected. For example, some may allow only family members in the delivery room, or may have policies against candles or other open flames. Be flexible; even the best laid plans can go awry. After all, babies have their own ideas about the way things should turn out!

What would those look like, anyway?
Research ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER & MARCIA KUNTZ
On May 21, ABC News Political Unit's morning news summary, The Note, reported, "USA Today's Walter Shapiro shares with us an inside look at the biweekly meeting organized by America Votes that is so vivid and insightful that it's sure to give Sean Hannity nightmares for at least a week, and the presence of one of John Kerry's advisers is sure to perk up the Sisyphusian ears of GOP superlawyer Ben Ginsberg."
Huh? "Sisyphusian ears"?
America Votes is "a non-partisan political organization formed in July 2003 for the purpose of increasing voter registration, education and participation in electoral politics. Founded by many of the largest grassroots organizations in the country, representing more than 20 million Americans, America Votes will utilize the strategic abilities and large membership bases of the partnering groups to break new ground in electoral politics." Benjamin L. Ginsberg is a partner in the law firm of Patton Boggs, LLP; serves as national counsel to the Bush-Cheney campaign; and currently represents the Republican National Committee in a complaint it has filed alleging illegal coordination between the Democratic Party and progressive 527s, including America Votes.
By referencing Ginsberg, The Note implied, without offering any evidence, that there might be something inappropriate or even illegal about a Kerry adviser attending the meeting; moreover, USA Today's Shapiro Noted a fact The Note Noted not: The Kerry adviser in question is pollster John Martilla, as Shapiro wrote: "an outside adviser to Kerry [who] presented the results of a national survey that he conducted on behalf of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. ... Aside from announcing his Kerry connection at the outset, Martilla carefully limited himself to discussing his poll for the Brady Campaign."
According to Shapiro, America Votes attorney Judy Corley explained Martilla's presence: "[T]here is nothing impermissible about Martilla wearing two hats. 'If you work for a candidate,' she said, 'you cannot use or convey information from or to that campaign."'

Arts & Culture, Our Daily Correspondent
Eternal CityBy Sadie Stein
The Whitney Biennial has generated any number of reviews—the more comprehensive ones will tell you about the distinguished curators, the three "biennials within a biennial," the ambient sound installations.
So far, I have not read anything about the Apple.
On a chilly evening earlier this week, I attended a preview with a friend. It was, as others have recounted, crowded. "I thought you were the artist," said a woman as I studied one of the pieces, a voluptuous ceramic by Alma Allen. "Because of the way you're dressed, I mean."
"Thank you," I said. Alma Allen is a man.
By the door, a young woman was handing out canvas bags. "Just the ladies," she said as we exited.
I waited until I was home to open my gift bag. Inside was a black box. "BCBGMAXAZRIA + WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART," said one side of the box. Another side said "Celebrating 25 Years of Style." A third said, "25th Anniversary Chrome Apple." And the fourth featured text:
This chrome apple epitomizes the eternal relationship between fashion and art. We present this gift to you in celebration of BCBGMAXAZRIA's 25th anniversary and the 2014 Whitney Biennial Sponsored by BCBGMAXAZRIA.

she want a baby..
My sister in law is living together with my brother for 10 years. And not only once that she conceived. My borther was used to be a drug dependant. Does it matter? I mean does my brother's being a drug dependent caused my sister in law for not conceiving?

Hi Carolg,
When you consider that the health of a child is greatly influenced by the health of the egg and sperm which create the child, then you quickly realize that the quality of sperm can play a large part in whether conception can occur. Often times, even if a sperm can penetrate an egg and fertilize it, the embryo that is created will have chromosomal defects, and the pregnancy results in a really early miscarriage - often so early that the woman will not even know that she was pregnant.
However, if your brother has been completely clean of drugs and smoking, and has been eating a highly nutritious diet of lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, high quality protein, high quality oils and essential fatty acids, then his sperm may be high quality as well.
Sperm need to be able to swim in the right direction (not around in circles) and they need to be formed properly, and then there needs to be enough of them to increased the odds of one being able to get to the egg and fertilize it.
I would highly encourage your sister-in-law and your brother to start a preconception program together so that both of them are creating healthy bodies and healthy genetic material which will give them the best chance of conceiving a healthy baby.
Warm Regards,

John McCain & Lindsey Graham Are Hypocrites For Not Equating Benghazi To Newtown
posted at 4:17 pm on December 18, 2012 by Duane Patterson
…or something.
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
I realize to those of us with an I.Q. higher than that of a plant, this incoherence from Ed Schultz is hardly worth anything more than an eye roll. But since we live in an age where Republicans don't seem to want to do any sort of national messaging at all, or at a minimum, counter the inanity from the left, allow me to explore this comparison.
1. The attack in Benghazi was warned about three days in advance by the Libyan government. The Connecticut Governor did not make a similar warning that the federal government ignored.
2. Ambassador Stevens asked repeatedly for more security, because he worried for his safety, and the safety of his consulate staff. Those requests were apparently denied by the State Department. The principal of Sandy Hook didn't make any such request to the Department of Education or Homeland Security. Had she made requests, and they would have been denied, then there's a case for oversight outrage. It is interesting that in both events, though, more security might have spared innocent life.
3. The White House, through its press secretary, its U.N. ambassador and the President himself, told a fiction about the cause of Benghazi attack, blaming it on a YouTube video. No such misdirection was perpetrated by the administration about Newtown.
4. The attack in Benghazi took place over the course of seven hours, with the White House being informed, and watching from an overhead drone picture, for at least six of those seven hours with no military response given. The attack in Newtown was over in minutes.
5. Former Special Forces assets from the CIA were on the ground in Benghazi, painting a target on perpetrators of the attack, and did not receive the assistance of our military, specifically on someone's orders. No such plea for help was refused in Connecticut.
6. If John McCain is somehow neutralized on the gun issue because his vice presidential nominee once said the word "reload" publicly, then Barack Obama is somehow neutralized on every inappropriate statement by Joe Biden, as long as we're into moral equivalence here?
Senators McCain, Graham and Ayotte are conducting their Constitutional role of oversight because of the apparent lack of judgment and response by the Obama administration after Americans were under attack by terrorists on U.S. soil, even if present in a different country. There is no similar appearance of misconduct by school staff, first responders, or city, state or federal agencies involved at Sandy Hook.
But other than all that, Ed, the hypocrisy analogy is pathetic, sad and shows the nasty, insensitive nature of the left that is willing to seize upon any crisis to further their political agenda. There is a difference between the two sets of victims between Newtown and Benghazi. The four lives lost in Benghazi were tragic, because indications are that it didn't have to happen. But all four were grown adults who chose to serve the country in a profession that is often times more hazardous than other careers here in the states. The innocents lost last Friday were mostly little kids.
Honestly, lefties, is there no limit to the depravity of your rhetoric?
