Extreme Lube is the most viscous of Rock 'n' Roll's lube formulations. It's for the nastiest, gnarliest, wettest, and muckiest conditions. Extreme Lube has a gel membrane suspended in the fluid. The membrane seeps deep into the rollers of each pivot, keeping the chain joints flexing, moving smoothly, shifting crisply, and doing everything quietly.
Rock 'n' Roll lube cleans and lubes at the same time. Dribble it on by putting the bike in its biggest gear and backpedal. Drip from the top over the chainring or cog. Wipe off the excess. Shift to the small ring in front to wipe off the big ring. Wipe till the chain shines. You can ride right away, but letting the excess evaporate for a few hours or overnight is best. And, despite the fact that this is Rock 'n' Roll's wettest lube, it's still drier and cleaner than much of what's available on the market. Rock 'n' Roll recommends not re-lubing until you hear squeaking. If you have more than one Rock 'n' Roll lube in your tool chest, you can put on the thicker formulations when it's wet and then apply the thinner when its dry and you don't have to degrease in between.
Rock 'n' Roll Extreme Lube comes in a 16oz. bottle and should last you for several seasons.

The Rick Derringer of Lubes
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is the business for most conditions. I believe it to work best when applied the night before a ride, as it has time to tack up and stay on the chain and not attract too much dirt. A bit more viscous than some other brands, but it applies well. The package includes an extra applicator bottle and multiple nozzles. Shake well before use, open up and enjoy. It also gets a B+ on the Robert Smallman taste test.
Cleans and lubes well!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Just tried this for the first time in super dusty conditions. It worked great, quickly cleans your chain and kept my drive train running quiet in some pretty nasty dusty/sandy conditions.
In the past I've been partial to Progold Extreme but I'm pretty sold on the Rock N Roll Extreme now. I highly recommend this. It's very resistant to picking up contaminants and it kept my chain looking clean.
Clean Chain
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I live in Utah where it is dry and dusty. Needless to say, this stuff fits and works great for dry conditions. The best part is, you won't need to clean your chain because this lube does not pick up dust.
If you have any questions on this product, I will be happy to help you out. I am usually in the office Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday 11:30am-9:30pm you can request me on by phone (1.888.276.7130 ext. 4646) during those hours. You can also send me an email @ firstname.lastname@example.com at any time.
Very very messy, like water
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
My initial impression for a clean road bike. This came in a plastic bag in a box and was already leaking. It started off messy and then trying to fill the smaller bottle was a difficult mess. It settles, so you have to shake it before every use. I am use to a chain oil that you can direct where it drips but not this product. It comes in a 16oz bottle because you will waste half of it leaking, dripping and filling the smaller bottle. I hope this works as well as they say for all the hassle. So far I am not impressed.
You're doing it wrong.
Some people just have difficulty getting through life without blowing their trumpet. Batman needs Robin to lend him a hand, get him some warm milk and send him to bed. Goodnight Batman.
I have ridden some extraordinary miles on nearly every imaginable type of condition and I love Rock and Roll chain lubes. Depending on conditions, I switch between Blue and Red. Great stuff.
Best all purpose lube so far
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I tend to use blue in spring and fall and winter and pull out the gold for summer. Red for my shorter rides when dry. All rock n roll lubes work incredibly well. Never turns thick and black. Only lube that comes close but difficult to find is "absolute best lube" but it doesn't clean your chain like rock n roll
Rock N Roll
Good so far
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Used both on Mt. and Road bike. Used pedro and white lighting and this stuff is similar to the white lighting. Does not gunk up like pedro's. Like they say it cleans and lubricates. Pretty soupy so have a rag under while applying. Have not used in a muddy environment yet. Good for the price!
This bottle should last a while.
I've used Pedros and White Lightning in the past. Rock N Roll Extreme is better than both. I bought a smaller bottle of it last Summer and will probably refill it from this one so I can have a more portable supply.
Great for my mtn bike!
Like Dominick stated, this is great stuff. I like the smaller bottle to use for application of the Extreme Lube. When I got the large bottle, I had to shake it up for a minute to mix it together which was a little different for me. I too am a Park City based mtn biker, lots of dusty trails on the cross-country trails I seek so this stuff is ideal. Nothing like having well lubed equipment for excellent performance.
Go-to choice for mountain chain lube
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I *love* Rock n' Roll lube.
It lubricates really well (although perhaps not absolutely as little friction as the best conventional lubes) but it lasts and lasts, and keeps your chain nice and clean. I ride mostly in dusty conditions, and find that the regular wet, oily lubes are like a magnet for dirt.
I've tried other waxy lubes (Pedro's Ice Wax and White Lightening) and think this is way better. Pedros seems just to turn into sticky gunk, and the White Lightening interacts horribly with other lubes.
The blue, "extreme" version of Rock n' Roll is intended for mountain biking in nasty, muddy conditions. But I've found it works well in all conditions. So unless you a a major bike geek, and keep a library of lubes for different days, this should be your go-to choice.
It comes in a giant 16oz bottle, along with a much smaller (empty) bottle with a drip nozzle, so you can decant some into the more convenient size.

WHERE IDEAS COME FROM: We had a colossal brain explosion last week. We think we might've actually died for a second. We certainly died in terms of a public performance.
We were a guest on Charter Communications' "Straight Talk," hosted by Art Levine and, after a bit of unreliable math, we came to the agreement that we've written something on the order of 4,000 columns in our young life. The inevitable question came next:
"Where do you get all those ideas?"
It wasn't exactly a "gotcha" question. We're asked the question at least once a week. You'd think we would have formulated at least a stock answer for it.
The way this particular question was phrased by Levine, we think, was what made our body shut down.
First, we saw 4,000 column ideas streak across our mind in 2 seconds. In the same time span we thought, in hyperspeed, that the column about a possum crawling on our head in our sleep came from a possum crawling on our head in our sleep, and the column about trying to buy a talking toy parrot at the Reform Party presidential convention in 2000 came from trying to buy a talking toy parrot and so on, times 4,000, then everything went blank and white and we started panicking and finally our brain said, "We're losing power! Shut this guy down stat! He's gonna blow!"
It was mortifying. We kept waiting for someone to holler "Cut!" but it never came. Hours passed.
"I see I've left you speechless," said Levine, before tossing us an even softer softball, and our life continued apace.
There are scant and unsatisfactory answers to the question: The ideas just come to us magically; people send them in hastily scrawled letters; they come via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter; they come from phone calls and conversations; they're adapted from other people's ideas; they're torn from today's headlines; they come to us in the shower and Jacuzzi. All true, but all just sort of skimming the truth. If we have, in fact, written 4,000 columns, the ideas have come from hundreds of sources, some solid, some ethereal.
After our on-air humiliation, we went to the Internet - a huge source of ideas - to ask it the simple question: "Where do we get our ideas?" The Internet didn't panic or melt down. It did, however, send us to a lot of high-falutin' over-thinking by idea-havers.
Then, we found an essay by author Neil Gaiman, who has billions of ideas. Turns out he, too, has had to grapple with the eternal question, and for years he had no satisfactory answer, until he was asked the question by a 7-year-old girl in his daughter's class on career day.
"And I realized I owed them an answer," wrote Gaiman. "They weren't old enough to know any better. And it's a perfectly reasonable question, if you aren't asked it weekly."
Gaiman told the little girl: "You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it."
He went on and on, as he tends to do in his books, but he needn't have. That's pretty much it. When you have a thought, it flitters away. When we have one, we write 800 words on it. We're not saying we're great at it. If 4,000 is the number of columns we've written, only 3,800 would be what you'd term great, unless you prefer the term "spectacular," or "deathless."
We'll be honest - and this is how ingrained the idea-having process is when you have to do it every day - when we're in the midst of a sizeable earthquake, we don't throw our body over our children to protect them from falling ceilings. We think of what our opening paragraph will be on our quake column.
Even on Sept. 11, 2001, we wondered, as bodies fell from the heavens, what will our angle be on this?
Look, you're asleep one night after midnight and you begin to dream. Someone, you dream, is gently caressing your head, stroking your hair. Your spouse, stirs, hearing you go "mmmm" contentedly and maybe wonders if you're dreaming of someone else.
The caressing continues and you begin to surface toward consciousness. Now you know you're no longer asleep, yet the caressing continues. Then it stops.
You open your eyes and a possum is standing there on your nightstand. You scream and rip off the sheets and blankets and rocket out of the room. You grab a broom and a bucket or whatever's handy. It's playing possum by this point, but you aren't an idiot. You eventually get the animal out of your house and you don't sleep well again for a long, long time.
We, on the other hand, start typing, still "mmmm"-ing contentedly, because we have been given our daily allotment: a column idea.

Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is On
October 16, 2009 | An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.

Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees
February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.

Cuomo Names Former Syracuse Mayor To Distressed Cities Board
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has appointed former Syracuse mayor Matt Driscoll to a new state panel that will work with distressed cities to manage their finances and be more efficient.
Driscoll, the only member of the 10-person board with any mayoral experience, is an interesting choice given Syracuse's recent history of financial problems. Mayor Stephanie Miner said in a statement that, "I applaud any and all efforts, including the Financial Restructuring Board, which discuss these issues and may bring solutions to affected minorities." Driscoll is currently the president and CEO of the state Environmental Facilities Corporation.

I am 5ft 10 ins tall, looking for a speed skipping rope, bought a golds gym rope and it's too short and gets tangled up easy.
Asked a boxer friend of mine what they are using at my old boxing gym and it's just a reebok skipping rope but probably too short and can't find the rope he's on about - and i've even tried to find the rope that amir khan might be using as he's sponsored by reebok to my knowledge.
So can anyone recommend any brands/lengths for me that won't tangle, long enough and i can skip reasonablly quick with that i can buy on the high street or somewhere else on line.

Aromatherapy is officially defined as a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile plant materials, known as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering a person's mind, mood, cognitive function or health1. This emerging industry has some solid merits, but similar to many nutraceutical/cosmeceutical products, seems to also be full of fictitious claims. The fundamentals behind aromatherapy are simply: essential oils & aromatic ingredients can sometimes have certain benefits such as anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-mutagenic effects, thus when they are volatilized, these effects can be transferred nasally. While it has been proven that essential oils such as rosemary can lower the production of carcinogens during cooking of meat2, it is clear that simply smelling rosemary essential oil will not help prevent cancer.
Therapy, or treatment, is the attempted remediation of a health problem, usually following a diagnosis3. Thus, what can aromas emitted from essential oils treat?
From the point of view of a flavourist, good aromas should obviously produce positive emotions, such as smelling a food that you like. Certain aromas have been proven to trigger certain emotions, such as an apple pie & rotten eggs. In the later, the opposite of aromatherapy would normally occur. For the sake of this discussion, we could simply refer to it as "aroma-stress". Aromatherapy or aromastress can easily be induced by a number of different odours, but how does this suddenly become a therapy?
Certain odours have even been claimed to have aphrodisiac properties (see below & look at the credibility of reference 4)4,5, but would this classify as a therapy? These claims are not backed up by any scientific proof & if there was any basis to this, pharmaceutical companies would have been all over this a long time ago!
|Contains plant estrogens and stimulates the sex glands, bringing oxygen to the female genitals 40% faster.
Pumpkin Pie or
Pumpkin Seeds
|The top contender to increase penile blood flow an average of 40% faster.
|Muira Puama
|The American Journal of Natural Medicine stated: "One of the best herbs to use for erectile dysfunction or lack of libido (also known as potency wood)
|This sweet, spicy flavor and aroma has been used to aid in the treatment of impotence and proven to be sexually stimulating for men.
|Considered the sacred herb of India, it awakens the senses, stimulates blood flow, and relieves fatigue.
|Share this sex vitamin, high in Vitamin C, folic acid, magnesium, and phosphorus with your lover because it's fun to eat together!
|Contains androsterone, a powerful male hormone released through sweat glands to attract women.
This table taken from: http://www.loveologyuniversity.com/lupages/aphrodisiacs.aspx
There could be many semi-valid explanations for aphrodisiacal properties of smells such as smells triggering certain memories or simply being reminded of food. On a purely hormonal level, it is clear that our personal aroma does have certain impacts on physiology. The classical case of menstrual synchrony, where the menstrual cycles of women who lived together (such as in homes, prisons, convents, bordellos, dormitories, or barracks) reportedly became synchronized over time is a very clear example of this8.
In either case, cooking tasty or favourite meals should be automatically classified as being therapeutic. A smell can bring on a flood of memories, influence people's moods and even affect their work performance6. This is thought to be because the olfactory system (or bulb) is physiologically close to the brain's limbic system, which is responsible for memory & feeling. Thus when certain smells are detected, powerful thoughts & memories can be triggered.
As aromatherapy becomes more popular, new types of products, claims & companies are mushrooming, resulting in an even more diverse range of therapy solutions. Certain oils & aroma ingredients have been claimed to even help in self confidence, depression, fear, memory & focus7.
It is very clear that some aromas can produce certain therapeutic effects, such as calming versus agitating effects. A clear example of this would be to expose individuals to vanilla, lavender & apple pie odours, that usually produce positive emotions. Conversely, durian, blue cheese & rotten egg smells would result in negative feelings. However, durian fruits, which typically have strong onion-like odours, are a very popular fruit that is enjoyed by the Asian community, resulting in very positive emotions. There are evident reasons why you will typically smell lavender & other floral odours, instead of garlic & onion in spas.
Certain colours are said to have psychological effects9 & this is why hospitals, nursing homes & other institutions are typically coloured with the same tints. Colour theory states that colours will trigger certain emotions, such as "red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love"10.
Everything is relative to each individual & claims should be taken with a giant grain of salt. In today's information age, it is too easy to be able to be the authority on any subject. Consumer beware!
Please refer to the list of actually proven benefits of certain essential oils, which can be found in the NOVOeducation section of this website.

We had a blackout here today in heavy winds and it went on so long we abandoned the regular evening plans and decided to drink red wine to warm up. (Heavy wind=cold in this situation.) This was the last of two bottles I'd stored over the years; from here on in, when it comes to 1998, it's Gigondas and (mainly) Châteauneuf du Pape all the way. While my tasting of the other bottle from about a year ago suggested that this wine still had a few years left, the cork on this particular bottle was soaked through so just as well we opened it. Fortunately no apparent damage. Fruit appeared muted on initial opening, more about some raisins and spice and leathery earth. But there was a pleasantly bright attack, and for all the lack of primary elements, the wine was clearly cultured, proving extremely well-balanced, rounded and succulent on the palate, with some dusty tannins lightly coating the cheeks. As it warmed up from 60F cellar temperature, some deep dark blackberry fruit started poking through, and it gradually took off from there, steadily evolving over an hour or two as we equally steadily waved it goodbye and poured it (gently) down our throats. My wife made the observation that she felt like we were drinking "a special wine" and as we sat by the fire, she correctly noted that this was no longer about fruit (early observations of blackberries aside) but about texture and body and concentration, and it's entirely true: the descriptive language changes when you enjoy something like this that has developed secondary characteristics. Then the power came back on and we realized we had an empty bottle of wine but for what looked like about 2 inches of sediment!
From what I understand this is about 50-50 Grenache-Syrah with a touch of Mourveder. I played with it in two glasses: a large Syrah Riedel and a smaller Chianti-Zinfandel Riedel. It definitely showed better in the larger glass. Vacqueryas is not necessarily under-rated; it just remains persistently good value. And most of its bottles don't go this length of time. But this one, picked up for around the $20-$25 mark around 2001, clearly did, clearly does, and demonstrates the enormous quality to be found in this southern Rhône appellation.

Kris Humphries' dad MOCKS Kimye's engagement!
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
While The Kardashians are busy celebrating Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's engagement, others are laughing at the deja vu.
Kris Humphries has stayed quiet since the engagement news broke but his father, William Humphries, had some interesting observations to share with the NY Daily News.
"I don't really care, it's water under the bridge," he said. "But I wish her all best."
He quickly changed his tune when asked about her multi-million dollar bling. "(West) probably didn't choose it," he said. "Does a leopard really change its spots? I don't think so. Not much changes, it's just different actors this time around."
He doesn't seem to have much faith in Kim's next walk down the aisle or the rumors that cameras caught the whole thing for their hit show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
"She's stepping right into it all over again," he said.

Brevard, N.C. - The Inaugural Tornado Tip-off started with Dr. Drew Van Horn welcoming friends and family members to the Brevard College basketball opener and ended with Van Horn and Director of Athletic Kim Pate, squared off against Coaches Michael Jones and Shannon Reid in a battle of rubber chicken chucking at center court in Boshamer Gymnasium as the Tornados opened up the 2009-2010 season in style.
The evening started with a meal provided by Sagebrush Steakhouse as the parents, friends and families of the student-athletes, listened to Dr. Van Horn's opening remarks as he recognized the parents and trustees in attendance. Jack Schneider, president of the Tornado Club, followed Dr. Van Horn with a welcome of his own to the Tornado Club members and encouraged all in attendance to join the booster club in support of over 350 student-athletes at Brevard College.
Following the introduction, Kim Pate recognized and welcomed women's head coach Shannon Reid to the podium to preview the 2009-2010 basketball season and introduce her team.
Coach Reid opened her remarks with a description of the South Atlantic Conference as a whole, recapping last season as one which proved how difficult and balanced the league was. However, she did recap how the team started to turn it around last year, especially in January when the team started to click together, fighting against eventual SAC Champion Lenoir-Rhyne before falling by eight.
Before she turned the podium over to her seniors, Coach Reid had one final thought on the team and left saying, "The girls are a really hungry group, eager to please, and ready to win."
The two 2009-2010 seniors Samantha Winn and Millie Wharton both spoke, giving their thanks to the Coaching staff for their hard work and dedication, while also commenting on how blessed the team was to have the depth this season with 16 players on roster after struggling down the stretch last year.
Men's Basketball Coach Michael Jones took the stand following the women's team and recognized his senior class of seven, commenting on the fact that four years ago they were brought in as freshmen, took their lumps, and now are the leaders on the team.
He also took a moment to talk about Jonathan Whitson and the accolades Whitson received last season, earning 1st Team All-SAC honors, as well as 2nd team All-Region Daktronics and NABC honors
Coach Jones also went on to recognize the impact of recruiting in Western North Carolina has had in the program, with over half of his roster supplied by players from around the area, before leaving with this statement, "I believe this is the most talented team I've had here in my time at Brevard."
Whitson followed Coach Jones and repeated what Wharton and Winn said about giving thanks to the crowd for coming to the event and then encouraged the fans to come out during the season and provide their support to the Tornados, commenting on the fact it is more exciting for the team to play in a packed gym, before turning the microphone over to fellow senior Sam Carlisle to introduce the 2009-2010 men's basketball roster.
Following the meal, the teams took to the court, for a period of warm-up drills as the fans filed in to Boshamer Gymnasium.
After a brief introduction of the night's festivities by Matt Mabe, all but two spotlights went out in the gymnasium, cloaking the fans in darkness as Justin Jefferson started the festivities with the team introductions, including several unique nicknames assigned to players throughout the years.
The Tornados men's and women's teams played in a pair of 15 minute running clock scrimmages which showed off the diverse talent and skills of the players.
The remainder of the evening saw the BC Cheerleading squad lead the fans through a series of cheers and the Brevard College pep band played throughout the night as fans, faculty members and students participated in half court challenges, a tic-tac-toe free throw challenge, the Jets Jersey Dress Shot, the Aramark Around the Arc contest and the K-Mart Hot Shot Challenge. The evening also saw a dance routine choreographed by several of the Brevard College football players and Round II of the rap battle between MC Confusion and Black Thought.
The night culminated in the Zaxby's Chuck-A-Chicken contest in which Pate and Van Horn teamed up against Reid and Jones in a battle with the loser having to do the Chicken Dance in front of the entire population of the crowd.
However, Jim Rogers, owner of the local Zaxby's, intervened as the teams prepared to dance and invited everyone down to the floor to do the dance for a free chicken sandwich and over 100 students, faculty members and staff, danced on the court until the conclusion of the event.
The Brevard College Athletic Department would like to extend an official thank you to the following businesses for their support and donations to the Tornado Tipoff: K-Mart, Cielito Lindo, Co-ed Theater, Zaxby's, Sagebrush, Jets Pizza, Aramark, Burger King and Sonic.

Conservatives Make Bizarre Excuses To Avoid Discussing Gun Culture's Role In Murder
Blog ››› ››› OLIVER WILLIS
Conservative media figures have offered up several bizarre excuses in order to deflect attention from the role gun violence played in the murder of Kasandra Perkins by Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher.
In order to evade the gun issue, conservatives have explained -- in detail -- alternative methods in which Belcher could have committed murder. In addition, they have attacked NBC Sports commentator Bob Costas for even broaching the topic of gun violence, suggesting that it was inappropriate to do so during an NFL broadcast, while others compared it to racially charged commentary from Rush Limbaugh and Don Imus.
Conservatives Suggest Alternative Murder Methods
Conservative media figures went into lurid detail while making the argument that Belcher's decision to murder Perkins had nothing to do with easily accessible firearms.
- On the December 3 Hannity, host Sean Hannity, in comparing this crime to the O.J. Simpson murder trial, said "there was no gun used" in the O.J. Simpson case. He continued to argue that "somebody's hell bent on killing somebody" they "don't need a gun to do it."
- On the December 4 Fox & Friends, co-host Gretchen Carlson lamented the focus on the gun that was used as the murder weapon. Carlson, arguing that the weapon used was irrelevant, said that "every single day" domestic violence victims are killed by "a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a spouse with their hands, with a knife, with a hatchet."
- On the same episode of Fox & Friends, conservative radio host Laura Ingraham agreed with Carlson. Ingraham described how Belcher could have asphyxiated his girlfriend, or had the option of "hook[ing] up a hose into his garage" to kill her.
- Appearing on NRA News, NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre speculated "there's a lot of different ways this crime could have been committed," noting that since Belcher was an NFL linebacker "he could have strangled her to death."
Conservatives: Sunday Night Football Is "Sacred"
Bob Costas made his commentary about the murder during the halftime segment on the December 2 edition of NBC's Sunday Night Football, leading some conservatives to opine that he violated the "sacred" airtime with a political opinion.
- On the December 3 edition of On The Record, host Greta Van Susteren said there was "something sacred" about Sunday Night Football, lamenting that Costas violated the apparent sanctity of prime time football to "lecture" audiences about gun violence.
- The chyron during On The Record's segment read: "Hijacking Half-Time: Bob Costas Schools Sports Fans On Gun Control"
- On On The Record, conservative columnist Byron York said the timing of Costas' commentary was "totally inappropriate" and more suited to a Sunday morning news program than a football broadcast.
Conservatives Compare Costas Commentary To Other Incendiary Rants
In the eyes of some media conservatives, not only were Costas' comments poorly timed, they were as inflammatory as previous racially charged rants and insults.
- In his On The Record appearance, Byron York argued that Costas' comments were in the same category of Rush Limbaugh's racially charged comments about quarterback Donovan McNabb on ESPN that eventually led to Limbaugh leaving the network.
- Fox anchor Megyn Kelly and conservative radio host Lars Larson compared Costas to country singer Hank Williams, who was removed from Monday Night Football after comparing President Obama to Adolph Hitler.
- Larson also compared Costas to Don Imus, who was fired after referring to women from the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos."
If conservatives addressed the actual issues raised by this tragedy - the role of easily accessible firearms in domestic violence, for instance - they may not sound so absurd while attempting to dodge the issue.

got first teeth
hi there,
a month ago I post here about my baby doesn't have teeth at age of 11 months old.Now he is 1yr. old last october 8, fortunately he's having his first teeth .But I have something notice with him,his loosing his appetite in his food sometimes he didn't eat.I'm worried.
17th October 2013 03:16 AM #2
I'm really pleased to hear that your son has got his first tooth since you last posted. I've been thinking of you.
When babies are teething they often feel discomfort and may not feel like eating around the time that they are teething. Has your son's loss of appetite coincided with his teething? Bear in mind that teething pains happen before and after the tooth emerges. In fact, some sources state that the main discomfort of teething is in the growing of the new tooth before it breaks through the gum.
I know in your previous posts you said you were still breastfeeding your son, which is great for his physical, emotional and social development. Are you continuing to breastfeed him? There is no need to stop just because he has teeth. In fact, babies can still get around 90% of their nutrients from the breastmilk alone at this age, provided they have been fed on demand (in the day and night).
As you know, my youngest son is the same age as yours and I am so pleased that we are breastfeeding because on days when he doesn't seem to really eat any solid food I know he is getting almost all the nutrients he requires from my breastmilk. That's so reassuring.
Breastfeeding also helps immensely to comfort a teething baby. When teething, many babies will feed more frequently because it helps them to feel better and also because they may not feel like eating much solid food at this time.
You can give your son cooled cucumber sticks (from the fridge) to chew on to help with his teething pains. Some parents find bickiepegs help to settle their baby. You can also rub a teething gel into their gums such as the baby version of bongela and give infant paracetamol if they are particularly struggling.
At the moment, my son particularly likes sucking on pieces of steamed chicken as well as chewing on cheese, sucking tomatoes and strawberries and juicing oranges. Lightly steamed vegetables such as broccoli and runner beans are also a hit. Have you tried any of the recipes on the baby led weaning site? There are lots of healthy, fun, easy options here such as: chicken stew with dumplings, lentil cakes and finger food patties.
If you are still worried that your baby is not eating much (and it goes on longer than the teething period) and, in particular, if he is losing weight then I would see your health visitor or doctor without delay. One point to note is that if your son is still predominantly breastfed then you need to feed him frequently enough to keep up your breastmilk supply. If you do this, then over the second year of life he will gradually reduce his milk intake and increase his solid food intake until he gets around 15% of his nutrients from breastmilk at 2 years of age.
Please do post back what your feelings are after reading this and let us know how we can support you further with this.
Warm wishes,

hi LJ,
thank you for nice advice I do giving him steamed chicken and cucumber.And yes I'm still breastfeeding him.Sometimes he feel so discomfort and he throw anything he get.I also didn't know what to do with him or how to calm him.
18th October 2013 06:48 AM #4
You are welcome.
Have you tried any specially designed objects to chew on when he is teething? Do you use painkillers or teething gel?
Do you babywear? A good sling can work absolute wonders in calming and soothing a little one. I would also offer him the breast more often when he is teething; as this will give him further comfort.

USC awards degrees at summer commencement
Columbia lawyer I.S. Leevy Johnson told the University of South Carolina's newest graduates Saturday to remember who they are and where they came from – and never stop learning.
"You are your parents' dream," said Johnson, who received an honorary doctor of laws degree at the Saturday morning ceremony at the Colonial Life Arena. "You have the talent to be a major factor in improving the quality of life for all mankind. You are champions. You are our hope, our leaders for a better tomorrow."
The university awarded 1,055 degrees from the Columbia campus at the summer commencement exercises, along with 375 from the university's regional and four-year campuses.
Johnson is a Midlands native who was among the first African Americans elected to the S.C. General Assembly since Reconstruction. Johnson, who earned his law degree from USC, has practiced law for more than 40 years and was the first African-American president of the S.C. Bar. He told the graduates they came to USC as raw material, and the university has helped form and empower them to compete in the global economy.
"There is no perfect formula for success. But you must realize you live in an information-oriented society. The more you learn, the more you earn," he said. "You cannot stop learning just because you are getting this degree today. Keep on studying, researching and engaging in activities that will increase your knowledge. When best is possible, good and better are not enough."

Al-Anon Family Groups
(757) 563-1600
Ext: 1674
In the U.S. there are more than 18 million people with a drinking problem, and only 10 percent of them will ever get help. But every individual with a drinking problem disrupts the lives of at least four other people—the child who loses a parent due to a drunken driving accident, careers that are ruined, marriages and families that are destroyed by problem drinking. Of the estimated 72 million Americans affected by someone else's drinking, most will not get help for themselves and many will never even realize that they could have benefited from some insight into the problems caused by another person's drinking.
- Al-Anon Family Groups was the first of many mutual support groups to adapt AA's Twelve Step Program. Al‑Anon is well-known, but still not widely understood. It avoids the limelight, focusing only on providing confidential help to people in need. Al‑Anon does not use celebrity spokespersons. The confidentiality and anonymity of all members is strictly protected.
- Al‑Anon, including Alateen for young people, is a pioneer in the concept of "family recovery" from alcoholism. Al‑Anon Family Groups believe, although one person's drinking problem adversely affects the lives of close friends and family, it is possible to recover from these adverse effects and improve their lives, as well as the problem drinker's chances for recovery.
- Today there are over 25,400 autonomous Al‑Anon/Alateen groups in more than 130 countries.
- Al‑Anon Family Groups depend solely on members' voluntary contributions and the sale of Al-Anon literature. The groups decline contributions from non-members and accept no outside funding from government, foundations, or other agencies.
- Al‑Anon Family Groups have helped millions of people in the past 60 years and sold more than 13 million books, including the inspirational daily readers One Day at a Time in Al-Anon; Courage to Change: and Hope for Today. There are more than 100 Al‑Anon or Alateen books and pamphlets, published in more than 40 languages.

Associated Press
BOISE, Idaho — Idaho law enforcement officials who help enforce any new federal firearms restrictions or registration requirements could be charged with a misdemeanor under legislation advancing through the House.
A bill passed along party lines by the House State Affairs Committee Friday could bring jail time and fines to any sheriff deputy or other government worker who helps federal agents confiscate any newly banned firearms or ammunition.
Boise Republican Rep. Mark Patterson and a group of supporters sporting "Yes H219" stickers testified the bill is simply intended to head off attempts by the federal government to outlaw semi-automatic weapons.
The bill was part of a pair of gun proposals discussed Friday. The committee also endorsed a measure exempting firearms manufactured in Idaho from being confiscated by the federal government.

Additional Reporting by Mike Lewis
Destruction is an understatement when it comes to the havoc Hurricane Irene unloaded on many areas of the East Coast. The death toll stands at a chilling 40 across 11 states. 3.3 million people are without power, and the estimated damage costs exceed $10 billion. As more information surfaces on the devastation, we learn the toll the storm has taken on the action sports industry. Below is an updated overlook of Hurricane Irene's mean streak, including the Quiksilver Pro's Festival cancellation, surfer deaths caused by the storm, and Rome Snowboard's Vermont office wreckage. An updated photo gallery provides a first-hand look at the damage.
Here's an updated look at the damage around Vermont's ski resorts, New Jersey surf, and the swell in South Carolina, (courtesy of Justin Morris).
The Quiksilver Pro, New York
As of Monday night, the city of Long Beach, NY announced clean-up crews will not be able to restore the beach in time for the event to begin this Friday, September 2nd. Thus, the festival associated with the Quiksilver Pro New York–including the skate/BMX/moto/music events, and Tony Hawk's Vert Jam– will be canceled. Continue to check back to www.quiksilverpro.com for more frequent updates.
The people of North Carolina were apparently hit harder than their neighbors to the south. "Highway 12, the only road connecting the [outer] banks to the mainland was sliced in four separate locations, isolating thousands of people and their homes," according to Zander Morton of TransWorld Surf.
Surfline reports Irene took at least one surfer death in North Carolina, and TransWorld Surf reports one death in Florida due to the storm's mean wrath. Frederick "Fico" Fernandez of New Smyrna Beach, Florida lost his life riding the ten foot waves produced by Irene's swell. According to TransWorld Surf, "Fernandez got into a steep left, wiped out and was driven into the bottom, breaking his neck. He was an amazing surfer and waterman, a great musician and a math teacher at NSB high school. He will be truly missed by all."
Our condolences go out to both families who lost loved ones due to the surf.
As news of the surprising devastation from land locked Vermont continues to pour in like the flood waters that inundated many communities, we reached out to the Burton camp and found that their offices and staff got through the storm unscathed. Unfortunately it was a different situation at Rome's Waterbury, Vermont headquarters, where the entire first floor of the building was flooded.
We caught up with Rome Director of Sales Dan Sullivan this morning, who was finally able to get out of his town and return to the offices today, only to be greeted by deep mud that destroyed most of the first floor offices. Sully described the scene outside Rome's windows that included 60 foot trees dangling off a nearby bridge. Fortunately everyone on the Rome team is fine and several members of the crew were on site during the storm wrapping up the upcoming film "The Shred Remains," and were able to rescue the company's hard drives and electronics and move them to higher ground in the building. Unfortunately, like much of the Eastern US, Rome offices are still without power.
"We're rolling with the punches," says Sullivan, who doesn't expect any long term impacts for the company. "Fortunately it happened in the daylight and everybody's Ok. It's really a grim scene for the entire town and state. It's mind boggling to see how high the water got."

The New York Post has learned from a source with knowledge of the situation that the Giants have not ruled out re-signing running back Brandon Jacobs. Jacobs is a free agent after spending one miserable season in San Francisco in which he played in two games and got five carries as a 49er. Jacobs, who will turn 31 in July, spent his previous seven NFL seasons with the Giants.
"He'd love to return to New York, obviously," the source said about Jacobs.
Formal talks between the Giants and Jacobs' representation have yet to take place.
Fantasy Analysis:
You know why Jacobs would like a return to New York? Because nobody else wants him. I'm surprised the Giants are even considering it in the slightest. Jacobs used to be a bulldozer in pads, but he is now much more of a headache than he's worth. The Niners suspended Jacobs for three games after he bashed the team on Instagram during last season. Jacobs loves to run his mouth, and that's fine when you are producing on the field. But Jacobs has averaged just 3.7 yards per carry in his last 16 games. I don't know where Jacobs will play football next season -- I think there are decent odds that it isn't in the NFL -- but the Giants would be foolish to welcome him back.

The Second Stage of Labour - Your Experiences
The second stage of labour is often termed the 'pushing stage' of labour, however, this in itself is debated terminology as some sources (such as Marie Mongan of Hypnobirthing fame) are of the view that women only feel an urge to push when influenced to by their caregivers and surroundings.
Did you feel an urge to push in the second stage of labour? If so, what did this feel like? Do you feel that it was wholly involuntary or influenced by your midwife or doctor suggesting you should be feeling the urge to push?
Some women go through a 'resting phase' between the first stage of labour (where the cervix is dilating) and the second stage of labour. In this resting phase, contractions can reduce or even stop completely, temporarily. It is often the case that the baby is re-positioning itself in this resting phase before the actual birthing of the baby. This resting phase also allows a mum time to get some more energy before the second stage of labour.
Did you experience a resting phase in labour? How long did this last for?
Many sources such as this midwifery article show that mother-directed pushing (or mother-directed bearing down) is best for mum and baby and ultimately leads to less medical interventions (and the risks associated with these). However, best practice is unfortunately not always followed and coached pushing seems to be more common than is medically necessary.
Did you use mother-directed pushing, or even no active pushing, during your labour? Did you experience any coached pushing by your midwife or doctor - did you find this helpful or unhelpful?
We look forward to hearing your experiences of the second stage of labour and helping to support mums-to-be on our forum.

With my first birth, my baby's heart tones were not recovering fast enough after contractions, so we needed to get her out quickly. I did not feel any urge to push, and my midwife definitely told me to push.
With my second birth, I'm pretty sure I felt an urge to push with my second baby, though I was encouraged to push before I felt that urge (I think I had a lip that the midwife was holding back, while she told me to push). If I were to do that birth again, I would have waited until my body naturally removed the lip on it's own, and I would have waited for the urge to push before starting to bear down.
With my third birth, I had the same midwife as the first two, and again, the midwife told me to push before I felt the urge. The problem, for me, is that when I try to push without having the urge, I don't push effectively. So I pushed and pushed, but made no progress. The midwife gave me a homeopathic remedy, and that didn't help. Finally she asked if I wanted to go and sit on the toilet. That's a great position to help baby move down the birth canal. I had been sitting on the floor, with my father supporting me from behind me, and my husband to the side of me. As soon as I got up onto my knees, I felt the urge to push. For me, it was just a matter of position. I needed to be in an upright position so that gravity would help bring baby down, and baby was positioned better.
My fourth and fifth births were water birth. We had moved, and so I had a different midwife. This midwife was much better about letting the body do what it needs to do, without intervention. There was no prompting to push. I just waited until I had that urge, and then I pushed. By birth #4, I finally realized that waiting for that urge to bear down was the easiest way for me finish labour and be the most rested. It would really tire me out to push and push without my body helping me.
Here's a beautiful video of an unassisted birth. It is graphic but it is beautiful, as it shows a very natural event (giving birth) in a beautiful, natural rain forest. You will notice that mum says she feels "pushy", and then you will see her do some short grunt pushing before she really bears down to push the head out. I don't have any sense that she had any monitoring, and so nobody would have known when to tell her to "push". She may have checked herself, but by the way she is pushing throughout this 30 minute video (which was shot over more than 30 minutes) I don't get the sense that she had checked herself to know how dilated she was.

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences Kate. My experience has also been that I can't really push properly until I truly feel the urge to push. When this comes there is no stopping the bearing down!
Thanks also for sharing this wonderful natural birthing video which shows such a strong urge to push in a completely unmedicalised setting.
Warm wishes,

STANWOOD — The Stanwood girls basketball team has two players with district tournament experience.
Tuesday night, with the game on the line, all the Spartans looked like experienced veterans.
Stanwood withstood a furious Meadowdale attack late in the game and hung on to defeat the Mavericks 71-66 in the first round of the 3A District 1 tournament.
"It's good just to get some confidence," Stanwood head coach Dennis Kloke said. "I have two players that played in districts last year, my two posts (Rachel Swartz and Tristan Murphy). Just from a confidence standpoint it's huge."
In the fourth quarter, it was an experienced senior — Swartz — and a district playoffs newcomer, junior Lauren Allison, who helped keep the Spartans ahead. Each player scored nine points in the final quarter, accounting for 18 of Stanwood's 23 points.
Allison finished with a team-high 18 points and three steals and Swartz recorded a double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds — eight of which came on the offensive glass. Murphy also had a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds, including 10 offensive boards.
"The story of this game was Stanwood outrebounding us by a huge margin," said Troy Parker, the Mavericks' head coach. "They were super-aggressive in the best way."
Stanwood needed all the points it could get because of an outstanding offensive performance by Meadowdale senior Julianne Kossian, who made seven 3-pointers and finished with a game-high 23 points.
"I think that's her high, probably of her career," Parker said. "Julianne is a kid that's been working hard. Nobody works harder than her. Although we lost, I'm happy on a personal level for her."
On the Stanwood bench, Kloke cringed with each Kossian 3-pointer.
"It was driving me nuts," Kloke said.
Meadowdale tied the score at 50 with a 3-pointer by Madison Parker, and made another basket to stay close to Stanwood 55-53. But the Spartans followed with an 8-2 run that built their lead to 63-55 with about three minutes to go.
The Mavericks — which led 32-29 at halftime — refused to give up. Meadowdale point guard Sara Fjortoft made two quick baskets to cut Stanwood's lead to 68-63 with 20 seconds remaining. Stanwood added a free throw before Keely Hayes made the Mavericks' 10th 3-pointer of the game and reduced the Spartans' lead to three, 69-66.
With five seconds to play in the game, Samantha Powell's two free throws to put the game out of reach for Meadowdale.
"It's a huge game," Kloke said. "Meadowdale is experienced and they're a tough matchup for us. They drive to the hoop and shoot 3's."
Kloke said he was happy with Stanwood (18-3 overall) for rebounding from a 64-39 loss to Shorewood in the Spartans' regular-season finale on Jan. 30. It was the only Wesco 3A loss of the season for Stanwood.
"The difference between this game and the Shorewood game, outside of the score, is when we made mistakes we flushed them quickly because we were mentally prepared to play," Kloke said. "? I'm pleased with the victory and I'm pleased with how the kids hung in there and competed. We found a way to win in the fourth quarter."
Along with Kossian, junior post Mackenzie Bretz provided some offense for Meadowdale (13-8) with 15 points, five rebounds and three steals. Ndey Sonko had eight points and grabbed six rebounds.
"We've been a really resilient team all year," Parker said. "Our girls have been in situations this year where we've been down in the fourth quarter. We don't panic. We make plays."
The victory puts Stanwood in the semifinals, where it will face Everett — 55-46 winners over Shorewood Tuesday night. The Spartans went 2-0 against the Seagulls this season and are looking for another strong showing when the two teams meet at Glacier Peak High School at 8 p.m. Friday.
Kloke knows how important it is to get a victory in the winner-to-state game because of an incredibly strong field of teams in the 3A tournament. Stanwood is in the 3A tournament this year after moving from the 4A classification after last year.
"In comparison to what we played in last year, top to bottom, the teams are more evenly matched," Kloke said. "(The district tournament) is full of teams you don't want to play."
Meadowdale will face Wesco South 3A foe Shorewood for the third time this season. The Mavericks split the season series 1-1.
"We knew coming in this district is very even," Parker said. "There are three berths. We've got to win three straight now (to advance to regionals)."
Kloke, for one, thinks the Mavericks will do fine.
"I don't think Meadowdale's done," Kloke said. "They're going to give some teams headaches."

Photo gallery: Honor Guard Transports Body of Deputy Killed in Dorner Gun Battle
SAN BERNARDINO - Bagpipes played solemnly as Honor Guard members gathered Thursday for a somber, impromptu ceremony before the body of slain San Bernardino County sheriff's Deputy Jeremiah MacKay was taken to a nearby mortuary.
Law enforcement officials saluted and about two dozen county employees stood outside the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner's Office to pay their respects as MacKay's flag-draped casket was loaded into a hearse and escorted by sheriff's and police vehicles to Mountain View Mortuary on Highland Avenue.
Funeral services for MacKay are still being planned, a sheriff's official said Thursday..
"He was a delightful guy and he will really be missed," said sheriff's Capt. Rick Ells, of the Twin Peaks station, where the flag was at half-staff on Thursday.
MacKay, a 35-year-old father of two, was killed Tuesday in the San Bernardino Mountains while pursuing Christopher Dorner, a former Los Angeles police officer. Dorner was found dead in a burning cabin in the Barton Flats area after a shootout with authorities.
Dorner, 33, is suspected of killing two people in Irvine on Feb. 3, a Riverside police officer on Feb. 7 and finally MacKay.
To many, MacKay was a true hero, a gentle Scotsman who played the bagpipes and had a great sense of humor.
He always wanted to be a police officer and went to the sheriff's academy when he was young and started with the department when he was just 20, Ells said.
"He had a wonderful sense of humor - he was quite the character. He would sometimes bring his lunch in a Hello Kitty lunch pail. He was a really fun guy and a terrific worker. He played the bagpipes and was very much in touch with his heritage. I loved to tease him about that," Ells said.
MacKay was promoted to detective in 2006 and served at the Twin Peaks sheriff's station for two years before working out of the Big Bear area and then Yucaipa, Ells said.
The Rim of the World High School graduate was loved by many in the mountain communities, as the MacKay clan was a prominent pioneer family in the area. Multiple generations of the family served the mountain.
"Just to know he walked these halls in his high school life, an important time in our lives, impacts all of us," said Rim of the World Principal Catherine Obregon, "just knowing that he did so much with his life after high school."
MacKay's grandmother, Audrey MacKay, was also involved in community projects.
"Audrey MacKay managed Lake Arrowhead Village back in the days the village owned the lake. As kids, we used to call her Mrs. Lake Arrowhead," said Voni Saxbury, a real estate agent at Coldwell Banker Skyridge Realty in Lake Arrowhead.
"I lived up here all my life, and my parents were friends with Audrey and her husband, Alan, who was killed in a car crash in the 1950s. Jeremiah's father, Alan MacKay, was a fireman here forever. They were extremely important in the mountains."
Jeremiah MacKay was an all-around athlete in school who played on the Scots' football, volleyball, tennis and ski teams.
As a senior in 1995, MacKay's sense of humor was encapsulated when he wrote in his Rim Scots Yearbook, "I love God, family and everybody who says 'hi' to me. I also love Rosa Maria's burritos."
MacKay was the sergeant-at- arms for the Inland Empire Emerald Society, a Corona-based nonprofit that helps families of Inland Empire law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. He was the group's lead piper and played bagpipes on numerous occasions in remembrance and support of other fallen officers, according to the society's website.
The society will host its annual Great Guinness Toast in MacKay's honor at 8 Friday at Shamrocks Pub and Grill, 1275 Magnolia Ave., Corona. The annual toast will raise money for the Society's Fallen Officer Memorial Fund. The society is collecting donations for MacKay's family and for the family of Riverside police Officer Michael Crain, who was also killed by Dorner, authorities said.

i had a very famous brazilian coaching the other guy. calling me faggot. FAGGOT THIS IS ZHOOT ZTISU NOT JUDO. VIADOO. FAGGOT. TAKE POINTIE AWAY.
my advice, gas out. I made the mistake of stretching before the fight and not light sparring. I couldnt even open a bottle of water after! Bt, i'm going thru a motivational decline at the mo. Injured, flu. Thnkng to pack it in having just got my blue. Anybody feel the same now and then? Thanks lads.
i shit myself at my first comp
it was one of dave coles earlier events that used to be held in a pub/club
many years on whether grappling, bjj, sport jujutsu or mma i still feel petrefied b4 i compete.
the buzz afterwards makes all the pre stress worthwile tho.
enjoy it and remember it aint fear your feeling but adrenaline playing havoc with your mind
try and relax think positive and enjoy every second
remember for every one of us that has the balls to compete there are thousands who wish the had the courage to try
I got stoned and tapped out some winging weiner
Hey, are you refering to me LOL???
Question out curiousity. How often do you people train? i do 3x Bjj sessions, 1 MMA session and Open Mat per week.
On a perfect week Ill train twice BJJ, and twice MMA. Then on Sunday morning started sparing with a couple of mates (BJJ). But as Im married with two kids and work, I do what I can. Also got gym at home and do weights and cardio three or four times a week.
Probably deserves a separate thread. I've always been curious how people who are married/kids find time to train. I'm very much the same as you - I'm married, two young kids, a lawyer, travel quite a lot internationally but usually manage 2-3 times BJJ a week and 2-3 weights/cardio sessions. It's a struggle though and am lucky my wife understands my love for it.

Since my husband and I are planning another baby. I'd like to as ask how does it feel getting pregnant and giving birth for the second time?
For me, my subsequent pregnancies were a little more difficult but my births were easier. I felt more of the BH contractions, felt movement earlier, and experienced a bit more of the aches and pains of pregnancy with babies 2, 3, and 4. However, my labor and births were far easier with each baby. I pushed for four hours with baby 1 and all subsequent babies were out in one to three pushes. I also had significantly shorter labors.
Best of luck!
Dear mumnlikenit,
That is exciting that you and your husband are planning another baby.
I can only answer how the subsequent pregnancy is as I have not done the birthing part yet for my second! I must say, the pregnancy seems to be going so much quicker this time. This is probably because I am so busy with my toddler that I don't have much time to think! Thankfully, my morning sickness has been much, much less with this pregnancy (this was also the case for my mum's pregnancies).
My belly has got bigger quicker with this pregnancy! It obviously stretches easier. I felt this baby's first movements at 16 weeks compared to 18-19 weeks with my first (because I know what to feel for!).
Most second labours are at least half the length of the first labour. I have been preparing a lot more for the birth this time around as I know so much more (through experience and reading) than before.
It's a good idea to start making sure you are eating a healthy, balanced diet when you are trying to conceive: have a look at the article Safe Eating and Drinking Before and During Pregnancy.
Best wishes to you and your husband,

Since 2007, New Jersey has more than doubled its support for evidence-based home visiting programs. We now have an expanded statewide capacity to reach over 5,000 families of infants and young children with three core home visiting models - Healthy Families, Nurse-Family Partnership, and Parents as Teachers. These three models are now available to families in all 21 counties. We also fund the HIPPY (Home Instruction to Parents of Preschool Youngsters) program in Bergen County.
These voluntary home visiting programs provide ongoing health and parenting information, parent/family support, and links to essential health and social services during pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood. HV services provide frequent and regular visits to families from pregnancy until the child is age two or three (eligibility varies by model). Participating programs track performance measures and federal benchmarks that include process, impact and outcome measures
During pregnancy and at birth, home visitors encourage positive behaviors and healthy nutrition to prevent poor pregnancy outcomes, e.g. preterm births, low birth weight. They also have a unique opportunity to identify and address health or social concerns earlier e.g. perinatal depression, substance abuse, domestic violence, unstable relationships, housing insecurity, etc. to help promote a strong foundation for child resilience and health. Important outcomes for HV programs include parent-child attachment, child health (physical, social-emotional and cognitive), and infant/ child safety, security and well-being.
HV Programs also focus on early learning, language development and early literacy:
- EBHV programs incorporate formal parenting education curricula that explain early brain development and emphasize the role that parents play as their child's first and most important teacher
- Home visitors teach and model observation skills for parents, and give them simple activities and strategies to stimulate early learning at home.
- Home visits include on-going routine assessments of infant/child growth and development, and social-emotional health (Ages & Stages Questionnaire), as well as assessment of the home environment in promoting early learning.
- Infants with secure and nurturing parent-child relationships are more resilient and better positioned to interact with the world- to play, explore, and learn.
- And, when families graduate from HV, the transition goal is to ensure that children have continuing early care & education links, e.g. Head Start, childcare center, or preschool.
NJ promotes a system of prenatal screening and risk assessment (PRA) to help women/families identify needs and simplify access to available services and supports.

In NJ, home visiting is funded collaboratively by three departments-
- Health -- Maternal, Infant & Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Grant - MIECHV Administrative Lead Agency and Project Director, Lakota Kruse, MD
- Children & Families - Title IVB and State Funds - Implementing Agency and HV Manager, Lenore Scott, MSW

President Obama is reportedly set to nominate MIT Professor Ernest Moniz his next Secretary of Energy, replacing Steve Chu, who announced he is leaving earlier this month. In another appointment critical to federal influence on renewable energy development, the White House reportedly will name Gina McCarthy as EPA administrator, subject to Senate approval.
McCarthy, who is currently the assistant administrator for the EPA Office of Air and Radiation, would replace Lisa Jackson, who left the administration earlier this month.
Moniz is a former undersecretary of energy during the Clinton administration and currently serves as director of MIT's Energy Initiative, a research effort aimed at reducing greenhouse gases. He would be the second scientist named by Obama to head DOE. Chu, a Nobel prize winner, came to Washington from the post of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he headed up sustainable energy research.
Moniz is better known for his research on coal, natural gas and nuclear energy. He was named to Obama's Science and Technology Advisory Council in 2009. He has been characterized as a major proponent of natural gas as "a bridge to a low-carbon future," arguing that natural gas will, in the long term, be phased out in and replaced by zero-carbon options. "For the next several decades, however, natural gas will play a crucial role in enabling very substantial reductions in carbon emissions," Moniz said in 2010.
McCarthy and her office were instrumental in the EPA's approval of E15, a 15-percent ethanol blend in gasoline for cars and light trucks built in 2001 and newer. As EPA administrator, she would be expected to take the administration lead on climate change policy. She has a lengthy history of state regulatory experience, having served as an environmental policy advisor to then Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and later headed Connecticut's Department of Environmental Protection.
If nominated, both could expect hard questions, McCarthy by conservatives who cite EPA regulatory overreach, and Moniz by environmentalists over his support of natural gas.

best time to introduce solids
I have a 2 month old baby and I wonder if what is the best month or the best time rather to introduce solid food to him? Or even Liquids.

Ahhh - well, you'll find that we're big proponents of baby led weaning, in this forum. Most babies are not interested in solids (and can't move food to the back of the mouth well) until they're about 6 months old. Some babies aren't even interested until they are 8 months or a year.
But food should be a fun experience for children before they are one, and the milk they receive should be their main source of nutrition. After the age of one, food takes on a more important roll in providing nutrition for baby, and this is the time when they start the weaning process.
Here's another thread where we discussed baby led weaning, and you'll get to watch a video too!
