Baffling decision
Jeff Stelling says there'll be plenty of takers if Wayne Rooney does leave Man Utd - starting with Man City.
Last Updated: 09/03/13 10:41am
The fact that he arrived at the ground all smiles suggested that he'd had no hint of what was to come, as seemingly confirmed by a tweet from his wife Coleen.
Frankly I was flabbergasted that his name wasn't on the team-sheet because Rooney was absolutely brilliant in the second half of the match against Norwich.
Many of the papers are now speculating that Rooney will leave United in the summer, leaving me to wonder exactly what went on before the Real game and whether or not there's been a falling out between Wayne and Sir Alex.
In the away leg Rooney was asked to play on the right-hand side and was almost playing right full-back at times - a role that he's been asked to fulfil for the team frequently in recent times.
Whether Sir Alex felt he couldn't fulfil that role this time around or Rooney wasn't happy doing it, we'll only know in time.
If Rooney is on his way out of Old Trafford, there will be plenty of takers. Don't believe for a minute that Manchester City aren't interested. They may say that, but they would, wouldn't they?
They were interested before, in 2010, when it looked as though Rooney was on his way out and I've no doubt they're interested again. Why wouldn't they be?
I've heard some people say that Rooney doesn't perform on the big stage, that he is a flat-track bully. It's not a view I subscribe to. In fact, I think it's absolute nonsense.
This season Rooney has scored twice at Manchester City and against Brazil for England. This comes after a season in which he scored a hat-trick against Arsenal and three goals in two games against Chelsea, not to mention two goals against City, two against Spurs, two against Liverpool and two more against Everton.
It's true that United's circumstances have changed in as much as they've got Robin van Persie now, Danny Welbeck is flourishing and Javier Hernandez is waiting in the wings. They may, if you believe the rumours, be in for Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski.
But I would be surprised if Sir Alex is looking to move Rooney on now simply to avoid a repeat of what happened in 2010, when he appeared on the verge of walking out before signing a five-year deal. At the time Sir Alex seemed desperate to keep him and went to extreme lengths to achieve that goal.
United do have options but not only was I staggered that Rooney wasn't starting on Tuesday, I was amazed that Nani was in the XI, I was stunned that Tom Cleverley was playing off the front man and I was startled that Ryan Giggs was in midfield.
But if you look at recent form, Van Persie has been struggling for form more than Rooney and yet he's never asked to adapt his game to fit in with the way United are playing.
They have started 15 Premier League games together, scoring 19 goals between them, of which Rooney has got 11.
On top of the Rooney decision, I don't understand what Antonio Valencia did to be left out of the starting XI?
Last season he was just about a guaranteed starter - he started five of the six Champions League games - but this season he hasn't started in the Champions League since November.
Since the victory over Braga he has become a bit-part player and I think United miss his pace, his strength, his fire down the right-hand side and his ability to play as an attacking wide man or, if needed, a right full-back. The whole thing puzzles me.
For the record I thought it was never a red card for Nani.
By way of comparison, do you remember when Newcastle's Fabricio Coloccini almost kicked Demba Ba's head off in the Premier League and there was no penalty and no yellow card?
But this is European football and incidents are treated differently. Roy Keane made the point that Nani gave the referee an opportunity to send him off.
Yes, Nani's eyes were on the ball, but he had to be more aware of what was going on around him particularly as it was unlikely to have been critical if he hadn't won the ball in that area of the field.
It was totally unintentional but on the other hand Nani's foot was high. Tellingly, every single player on the field was running into position for a free-kick without arguing that Nani should be sent off and everybody was astonished when the referee pulled out a red card, including me.
Last night it was lovely to speak to Neil Lennon, albeit after Celtic's exit from the Champions League.
To my mind he's changed so much in the course of this Champions League campaign; he's grown and matured, gaining confidence and self-belief.
There was a lovely moment before the second leg against Juventus when David Tanner asked Neil 'what have you learnt' from this season? Neil replied "I've learnt how to manage".
In recent years he's come through some torrid times - the sort of things that no manager should be asked to come through - and at times he's become defensive in himself.
Now he's an expansive, charismatic character who is full of passion on the touchline. Even when Celtic were 5-0 down on aggregate, he was still out there giving it everything.
Will he stay at Celtic? It's a phenomenal club that is guaranteed Champions League football, so it's a hard call because there's no doubt that he'll lose several of his best players.
I think his future depends on the quality of any offers that he gets. If an established Premier League side with a track record - or even one of his old clubs - approached him, then that might tempt him away. But if I had to say one way or another right now, I'd expect him to be at Celtic next season.
Jeff's Gem of the Week
It has to be Portsmouth, who won at the 24th time of asking in all competitions by beating Crewe 2-1 away. I have as much idea of what the future holds for them as their fans, their players and their manager have - in other words, not much. They may still be bottom but remarkably they've scratched and scraped together a team each and every week and on Saturday they managed to earn a win. David Connolly, who scored one of the goals, didn't have a club for a large part of last year - and he's a goal-scorer! It was a fantastic effort all round.
Jeff's climbing Kilimanjaro!
Just as Hartlepool have a mountain to climb this season, so have I because in June I'm going to attempt to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with a couple of ex-footballers - Colin Cooper and Craig Hignett. A couple of years ago Colin set up the Finlay Cooper fund in memory of his two-year son, who tragically choked to death. We're aiming to raise money for all children's causes but principally children's hospices. The easiest way to donate is to visit http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/giving/ and search for my name. Any donations large or small will be more than welcome.

Hello everybody,
First: Sorry for my bad english, I'm just a litlle french
I've an NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT and the ordinary installation doesn't work.
So I need to compil Linux sources, and impossible to find anything about these on Internet.
Like I've finished by found the problem's solution, I will try to explain how to compil kernel source to install nvidia drivers.
Before, be sure you've try to install nvidia's drivers like this:
Installing NVIDIA Video Cards
But, if you have an error related to kernel source and/or kernel headers try my how to.
So, I begin, you need a network connection.
You will install your kernel sources. To know your kernel version type:
I'veCode:uname -r
Next, use apt-get install.Code:184.108.40.206
or directly:Code:apt-get install linux-source-18.104.22.168
after this, look on /usr/src with:Code:apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r`
You must have:Code:cd /usr/src ll
We need to "untar" (? I don't know the english expression sorry)Code:linux-source-126.96.36.199.tar.bz2
Now you must have on /usr/src:Code:tar xvjf linux-source-188.8.131.52.tar.bz2
You need to configure all:Code:drwxr-xr-x 25 root root weight date linux-source-22.214.171.124/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root weight date linux-source-18.104.22.168.tar.bz2
orCode:cd linux-source-126.96.36.199 make config
(graphical menu => save a configuration and exit)Code:make menuconfig
If you do make config and you don't know the correctly answer you can push enter everytime.
Good. Now the longest yet to come (At last it depends on the computer ). The compilation... Type:
When the kernel is compilling, typeCode:make
You could only to run the NVIDIA script and launch installation specifying kernel source directory. In my case:Code:make-install
If you have the NVIDIA.run on an USB Key. You need just to mount and moove the file to keep it everytime:Code:sh NVIDIA-280.13.run --kernel-source-path /usr/src/linux-source-126.96.36.199
Now you have your NVIDIA script on /usr/src/.Code:blkid (to find your dev path) mkdir /mnt/USB mount /dev/sdc /mnt/USB mv /mnt/USB/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-280.13.run /usr/src/NVIDIA-280.13.run
Don't forget chmod +x your scripts if this isn't already doing.
If you have a problem: said it.

Lamar Miller Scouting Report
|Miami Hurricanes
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|5'11 - 212 lbs.
|Draft Prediction:
|Second Round
|40-Yard Dash
|Vertical jump
|Broad jump
2012 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Lamar Miller, RB, Miami
The Miami native is built solidly at 5'11'' and 212 pounds. His speed is what is going to earn him his paycheck on Sundays; he generally runs a 4.40 in the 40-yard dash and has been clocked as fast as 4.32 from that distance. With that combination of speed and size, Miller is a load to tackle and he rarely goes down on initial impact. It often requires a lot more than just one defender to end the play when Miller has the ball. Areas in which he could improve are blocking and receiving skills out of the backfield. He caught 28 passes in his career at Miami, an average of 14 per season. Miller is in a fierce competition to be the second running back selected after Trent Richardson. No worse than a second-round selection is a virtual lock and a late first-round pick is possible.
1 Comment | Add Yours
Will impress everyone with amazing speed but he has no change-of-direction ability. Huge bust at top 15 overall. This straight -line speedster is a KR superstar and career backup RB. Makes perfect sense in round 3.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/2/2013 (1610 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Brandon University Bobcats are the Canada West men's volleyball champions.
Sam Tuivai had 22 kills, four aces and nine digs as the eighth-ranked Bobcats upset the third-ranked Trinity Western Spartans 3-1 (25-21, 25-22, 23-25, 25-15) in the Canada West final Saturday night in Edmonton. This is the first banner for the Bobcats' volleyball program in its eight years of existence, although it did win silver and bronze medals at nationals in 2011 and 2009, respectively. It's the first conference title for the school since BU's men's basketball team was crowned Canada West champions in 2001-02.
The Bobcats dominated the final as it led from the first to final point in the first, second and fourth sets. Trinity didn't lead in any set until it gained a 12-11 advantage in the third, which the Spartans barely hung on to win.
Bobcats head coach Grant Wilson liked the way his team played.
"Really nothing different than the last few games," he said. "Our goal was to be the best serving and best passing team on the court and I thought we really dictated control of the game by passing really well and serving really well. We just kept them off balance and it led to some early leads for us and instilled confidence and it paid off."
Roy Ching added 15 kills and 15 digs for Brandon, while fifth-year Brandonite Garrett Popplestone had 44 assists, two aces and 16 digs.
Brandon, along with Trinity Western and Alberta — which is ranked No.1 in the country and won the conference bronze medal over UBC — all advance to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championship in Quebec City from Friday through Sunday. They will be joined by the second-ranked McMaster Marauders and fifth-ranked Laval Rouge et Or, who are hosting the event. The field will be rounded out by the New Brunswick Varsity Reds, Western Mustangs and Montreal Carabins.

Fascinating option for me
By daryld
from West Virginia
W/severe degenerative disk disease and GERD with hiatal hernia, I was kind of miserable, but I put this together by myself in about an hour. Read the directions through, first.Even though it does work wonderfully for the L-3,4,5-S1 pain that I can't get to from here! I would like to offer advice to other small women ( I'm 5'2"). Since you must have your feet flat on the floor, loosen the belt, until it is under your stomach, raise the cushion as high as it will go, and if you are buxom (not a blessing here) I use a full roll of paper towels on top of the cushion to avoid mashus flattus. Then every thing works perfectly and you can breathe deeply and relax or at least, I can.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I stopped my physical theropy
By Chris
from Worcester, MA
I never write review, but this is worth the time. It worked great from day one.I stopped my physical theropy and thankfully thos co pays, due to this unit. I just simply needed to stretch those muscles in my lower back, butt, and hamstrings. I realize it's just another item no one wants in thier house due to space, but evertime I walk by it , I use it for just a quick stretch. It really feels good. I sleep better now. I was very hesitant to buy this. simply awsome. I feel good. Is that worth [$], hell yes!

Wonderfully surprised
By Red55
from Vancouver, wa
I use this everyday. I work in the operating room and am on my feet all day. I was having a lot of low back pain and was going thru different shoes a lot thinking my shoes were the source of the back pain. Since getting this machine my back synotoms are better. I use it every nite after work. And the low back pain is better. I sleep better and am not as stiff when I wake up. I feel the stretch not only in my back but in my hamstrings. This is a wonderful machine and would recommend trying this first before having surgery. I'm not a doctor but this has really helped my back low back issues. It was easy to put together, but does need two people to make it easy..

My back has been bothering me on and off for years. Rounds of rest, meds and pain. Recently, my back was the worst it has ever been and there was little relief. I saw this Gentle Motion Standing Back Stretcher in the catalog and thought that it just might work.Fairly easy to put together, I tried it right away and the relief on my back was immediate. Of course, it doesn't last from one session, so I use it 4-5 times a day in very short sessions and it has really helped. By next week, I think I should be pain-free.One of the best purchases ever.

Built like a battleship and works!
By Sonny
from Santa Maria, CA
Have had osteoarthritis for 23 of my 82 years, particularly in the lower back region. This product is built like the Battleship Missouri, well engineered and solid. The back stretch is adjustable and it relieves pain, enables greater mobility and enables me to stand straight for the first time in five years. I use it four times a day. Great product!

nice unit
By jt
from michigan
First of all I have 4 different back stretching machines including an inversion table.This unit works well for lower back pain if you don't like hanging upside down. It is well very constructed and easy to use. The only thing I wished is if the hip belt was made wider and had some type of wide sheep skin pad on it. One thing that would have been nice is if they made it easy to store under a bed somehow. Otherwise this unit is a very good deal and I am please with the purchase.

Easy to assemble and relieves pain
By Older exerciser
from Phoenix, AZ
I am pleased with this product. I have a great deal of chronic pain in my right hip joint, knee joint and the thigh muscles between the two joints. Some of the pain is osteoarthritic, some is caused by spinal compression. This machine does a very good job of decompressing the spine and relieving the pain caused by that condition. I had considered purchasing a conversion table, but hesitated because I did not have a convenient place that would have allowed a full range movement and storing it would also have been a problem. I have found this item to be a very satisfactory in providing the stretch and decompression I need. I was also pleasantly surprised to find it every easy to assemble using only the tools provided. It's not often a 75 year old woman can say that.
I would buy this product again!
By Golfer for Life
from Indianapolis
Easy assembly with minor tools provided. Gives back a great stretch and stretches hamstrings too. Make sure you walk out of full stretch using your legs or your relaxed back muscles that were stretched can tighten up. Move slowly. Better than an inversion table I have used in past. Great Stretch and solid product!

Really does a nice strecth. If you breathe out and relax you can feel the strecth. In my case i get "pops" from my back that are much better than what i can get at the chriopracter because there is no compression only stretching

It was just a few weeks ago that Elisabetta Canalis was sharing the news with the world that she was pregnant with the baby of her boyfriend Brian Perri. Yesterday she told the world that she lost the baby because of a miscarriage. Elisabetta was due to give birth in the fall and she says that she chose to share her story with the world because she wanted to offer her support to other women who are going through the same ordeal. It takes a lot to discuss something like this so publicly and I feel so sorry for her that she suffered a miscarriage and really proud of her for sharing her feelings and her thoughts about such a tragic event in her life and doing so in such an open and honest way.
"Unfortunately, life gives you … a reality that you do not expect, and that is very hard to accept, even if you think you are strong enough and prepared. You're never really ready to be told that there is no more beating [heartbeat] and that it had already stopped long ago. I just want to say to all those women who are going through it to stay strong because life goes on and it is nobody's fault and nature acts in incomprehensible ways. We can only accept it. I just want to say that I feel you close, if you are suffering as I am doing. We can't deny it, it's like an incessant sorrow you can't get rid of."

Does watching others' absurdities keep us from the hard work of looking at ourselves – the central goal of this High Holiday season? Rabbi Eric Yanoff explores the answer in the context of reality T.V. vs. real life.
BY: Rabbi Eric Yanoff
There is evidently a deep need within all of us to confess and to find absolution for our sins. "Relief is only a phone call away," promised the Apology Sound-Off Line in Los Angeles, a 1-900 number that was active in the late '80s where people could call to confess everything from a stolen kiss to a homicide at the reasonable cost of just two dollars for the first minute and forty-five cents for every subsequent minute.
According to a 1988 L.A. Times article, United Communications International, the Encino-based company running the sound-off line, received hundreds of calls a day from people seeking to unburden their guilty feelings. The company also operated another 900 number that got up to 14,000 calls per day where people could listen in to the confessions of OTHER people!
Both phone numbers no longer work and it's not clear what happened to this business. But the chance to peek into someone else's imperfect life, with all its warts and challenges, remains big business nowadays.
Reality shows have consistently captured the largest percentage of the audience watching the top 10 broadcast programs since the 2002 season, according to the Nielsen market research firm. Television has gone from "pop culture" to "peep culture" – peering in on the lives and misfortunes of others.
You know, I'm starting to feel left out. Why hasn't there been a synagogue reality show? I can see it now: "So You Think You're Smarter Than a Bar Mitzvah Boy." Or even better: "Bimah Babies." We'll take eight Bar and Bat Mitzvah kids and give them different challenges (longest Haftorah…), and the winner gets the silver Kiddush cup and a cash prize. But a la "Deal or No Deal," the amount of money is also undetermined: The winner has to choose his prize from 100 unmarked envelopes stuffed in his father's suit-jacket pocket, all in different multiples of $18 . . .
Would you watch that show? Someone would.
But there can be danger in tuning in to this sort of programming. Even if we know that reality shows are not the full picture of real life; even if we know that the producers are manipulating the stories with creative editing, we "buy" them as reality. The "real" housewives, the "real world…." And somewhere in our psyche, the outlandish behavior becomes part of acceptable reality.
Worse, looking at these reality television characters enables us to avoid doing something we really need to do: look at ourselves. Watching the purportedly "real lives" of others, exaggerated, shown in gross detail, lets us off the hook from looking at our own lives. Maybe we say, "at least I'm not them," but we're so engrossed in the lives of others that we never really look at how we can be better.
On Rosh Hashanah, on Yom Kippur, at this time of year, we are given a unique opportunity to look here, at ourselves, instead of at the television, at someone else's mishegas. We only become better people if we take a moment not to pretend we are perfect, not to avoid our own "stuff" and make ourselves feel superior to the people we see as caricatures – but to ask ourselves, how can we be better? How can we be more real – not more of a spectacle, not more extreme – but more honest, more involved in contributing to a more perfect world, in the year to come?
Like the call-in number where we can listen to other people's confessions instead of confronting our own imperfections, reality TV enables us to avoid those tough questions that Judaism pleads with us to consider. The truth is, even in Judaism we have plenty of scandalous characters to keep things spicy! Unlike some other religions, we don't have saints. The key figures in the Torah are not unattainable models of perfection, but real personalities whose imperfections are as compelling as any reality star.
Can't you just picture the family tension in the Rosh Hashanah Torah reading when Sarah, protective of her son, Isaac, tries to convince Abraham to kick out his concubine Hagar and her son, Ishmael? "This week on Survivor: Who will get kicked out of the Tent – Isaac or Ishmael?" [SURVIVOR: CANAAN sign]
The Torah gives us heroes who are role models because they force us to look in the mirror and learn lessons about how we might live better lives. We do not aspire for perfection, some saintly model. Rather, we aspire to keep striving, working to be better, nobler, than we previously thought possible.
Rabbi Eric Yanoff is the spiritual leader of Adath Israel in Merion Station.

Screencasts and Desktop Recording
Several utilities allow you to capture your desktop (and then create a screencast from it).
FFMPEG with x11grab
FFMPEG includes x11grab, a module for screen capture. This method gives the best results for screencaptures and is one of the most flexible methods, allowing a variety of audio inputs and audiovisual output formats. FFMPEG must be installed first (sudo apt-get install ffmpeg). See here for more details. In brief, an example command to capture to an .avi file using the X264 video codec and lossless 16-bit sound would be:
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -ab 192k -i pulse -f x11grab -s 1024x768 -r 30 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 /home/user/capturedvideo.avi

Rodarte Fall 2012
Laura and Kate Mulleavy have moved beyond the single-statement, artistically led collection—or at least that's the way it seemed when they sent out their fall show. This time, it was the broad diversity of clothes on their runway that was striking: forties-influenced tailoring, suits, shapely coats, utilitarian shearlings, cabled sweaters, cargo pants, sheath dresses, and of course many of the pretty, romantic things people look for from the sisters. The sheer range of it—the concentration on separates and day wear—made it quite a different experience to watch than the more obvious van Gogh Starry Night and Irises references of their spring collection. It read as commercial riposte to anyone who'd pigeonholed the Mulleavys as too arty to address a real-world wardrobe, and their first real illustration of what Rodarte can be as a brand.
Yet, as Laura Mulleavy was explaining backstage, the siblings' progress toward their varied lineup was as intellectual and as researched as ever. "We have been looking at the history of the building of Australia—the layers and layers of it we found in Victorian photographs, all the way through to the late thirties. The Outback and aboriginal art." It was certainly a different geographical location from the sisters' usual explorations of American landscape and history—but really, the woman they ended up depicting was the same one: an impressive yet modest survivor over a hardscrabble existence. Somebody with both practicality and poetry ingrained in her spirit. The upshot? Well, this collection could put Rodarte on a whole different business-footing. Many of these clothes can now be worn in the street and at work—a welcome realism that takes the designers beyond their remit of making very special party and event dresses.
For more information and a full profile on Rodarte, go to Voguepedia.com.

Slow but steady job growth in the U.S. economy should provide plenty of ammunition for both presidential candidates heading into the final days of the campaign for the White House.
Employers tacked on 171,000 jobs in October and hiring was stronger in August and September than first thought, while the unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent in September.
With their bases locked up and a shrinking group of undecided voters to capture, analysts say President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney will be hard-pressed to use the jobs numbers to move the needle either direction.
"It would take a really dramatic change in one direction or the other to have an impact on the race, and these numbers aren't going to change people's views of the economy," said Jack Pitney, professor of political science at Claremont McKenna College.
Obama is seeking a second term in the midst of the highest unemployment rate of any incumbent since Franklin Roosevelt and slightly higher than the 7.8 percent on Inauguration Day.
While Obama must convince undecided voters that he has the economy on the right track, Romney will continue to to tell them the president's economic policies have come up short.
"Romney will use the numbers to feed into his narrative that it's not enough," said Jessica A. Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School. "Obama will use it to show we're creating jobs and the economy is improving and he should be kept in office."
The economy has created an average of 173,000 jobs a month since July. That's up from 67,000 a month from April through June.
Jordan Levine, an economist with Los Angeles-based Beacon Economics, said the numbers are solid but not spectacular, and the main thing is folks are getting back to work.
"To me, this fits into the broader trend of what we've been seeing in the past year," Levine said. "Things are starting to turn that corner."
Obama seized on that sentiment during a campaign stop in Columbus, Ohio.
"We've made real progress, but we are here today because we know we've got more work to do," Obama said. "Our fight goes on."
But Romney pointed out to voters that the unemployment rate is now higher than when Obama took office.
"For four years, President Obama has told us that things are getting better and that we're making progress," Romney said. "For too many American families, those words ring hollow. We can do better."
Because more people sought jobs than found one, the number of unemployed rose 170,000 to 12.3 million.
Job gains were spread broadly across most industries. Businesses added 184,000 jobs in October, the most in eight months. Government overall cut 13,000.
Construction companies added 17,000 jobs, the most since January. Manufacturers added 13,000 jobs after shedding 27,000 in the previous two months.
Professional services such as architects and computer systems providers also added jobs. So did retailers, hotels and restaurants, and health care.
"The sectors that are leading really are good quality jobs," Levine said.
Still, analysts say the new jobs numbers may not affect the voting public's view of the economy, which is still seen as weak, despite the upward trend in jobs.
And because there wasn't a big swing in either job growth or the unemployment rate, analysts say it ends up being a wash as far as who can take the political advantage going into Tuesday's vote.
Levinson said undecideds likely aren't going to parse the numbers as finely as partisans will in the coming days.
"At this point in the campaign I think this is a lot about broad strokes and painting a picture and getting the vote out," she said.
Levinson said the swing vote is hard to gauge because it could be made up of many who are disenfranchised with their party's candidates.
Pitney said there is always a chance the candidates could fumble the political football and perhaps misuse the jobs numbers to their own harm.
But don't count on it.
"If Romney were to come out and say, `I believe in government for the rich' that would probably be hurtful," Pitney said. "Or if Obama were to say `boy, wait to you see the tax increase I got for you' that would be hurtful. At this point they have their scripts, and we're not going to see any major gaffes."

HHS Awards Initial Funding for Home Visiting Program
Jul 23, 2010
On July 21, 2010, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced awards totaling $88 million in initial funding to 49 states, the District of Columbia, and five territories for the new Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program. Of these initial awards, $500,000 is available immediately to each state and territory to support their work conducting the required needs assessment. HHS will be publishing a second Funding Opportunity Announcement with additional details for conducting the needs assessment.
States' applications for these initial awards included governors designating a lead agency and support from directors of other key child-serving agencies. States are also in the process of designating and convening their Early Childhood Advisory Councils (ECACs), which are also required to include several state partners. States can ensure that representatives from the state agencies administering the new home visiting program and providers of home visitation services are included in their ECACs, to promote a more comprehensive system of services and supports for young children and their families in their state.
Learn more about HHS' funding announcement process for this program, read a detailed summary of the home visitation provisions in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or access other resources. As states begin thinking about their needs assessment, CLASP has a tool that provides links to state-specific data on who the young children in your state are and what kinds of services and supports they receive across sectors like health, child welfare, and early childhood education.

There is a very well known wordpress exploit that even wordpress.org is suffering from. It is basically a backdoor that some fake advertisers are using in order to inject some ads in. I have no idea how deep the injection goes, so instead of trying to restore a backup, I have just wiped everythig as we don't really use the site anymore. I am also going to be switching hosts.
At any rate, Dragaku is now going to go a different route. We have enjoyed the side projects we have done so far, but none have managed to really go anywhere for several reasons. This next project will. I will be transforming this site to my game development company's site. Dragaku.com will keep its name, so there is no need to worry about a name change. If you have any questions or would just like to contact me, send an email to doctorwhy [at] dragaku [dot] com . Come back in a few months to see the changes, but I can't promise they will be done anytime soon.

Is it safe for a baby less than 1 year old to be carried around using a Carrier?
I used carrier since my son is on his 6th month. I find it more stable than carrying him around without it. I see him very happy swaying his feet and wagging his arms excitedly as we walk around. What I am afraid of is it might be hurting somewhere especially that his head seems a little forward compared to the position of his shoulders. Sometimes I feel, too, that his chest area is being hurt by the belt that secures him in place. How safe are carriers?
Thank you.

Hi Mom2Rajan,
Baby wearing is certainly safe from birth providing you are using a carrier appropriate for the weight/ development level of your child and are wearing it correctly. For example, a Kari-Me or a Moby Wrap is suitable from birth (although some of the carrying positions, such as outward facing, can only be used with an older baby). What type of carrier are you using?
It sounds like your son is enjoying the baby carrier! There are so many advantages of baby wearing including the close contact it gives between mum and baby and the communication at face-to-face level you can have with your baby.
Please post back and let us know what type of carrier you are using so other mums can share their experiences.
Best wishes,

I carry my babies from birth, as women all over the world have done since the beginning of time. As long as you are using a proper carrier and following the directions for its usage your son should be fine. I agree with LJ, could you give us some more information about what type of carrier you are using? Do you have a picture of yourself with your baby on? If so, I think that myself and other babywearing moms could probably give you more specific advice.

Hi Mums! I'm also into baby wearing since my daughter was born 8 months ago. It has done great wonders for the both of us, most especially when combined with breastfeeding.
However, just recently I bumped into an article on Paediatric Hip Dysplasia or dislocated hip bone and some articles associated it with improper baby wearing. What's your take on this? Is there really a proper baby wearing position to minimize developing this condition among our bubs?

Hi Kaydetbride,
Years ago I heard about concerns that babies could develop hip problems if they were in a swing or car seat too long. (That's before baby wearing was popular.) My thought is that baby wrapping might offer more support for baby, overall (thus having less overall pressure on baby's hips) but that's just a guess.
Ultimately if your wearing baby for short periods of time here and there, and sitting to breastfeed baby, and baby is sleeping on his back or side in a cot or in your bed, then there would be plenty of hours when pressure is relieved from baby's hips.
I would be concerned if baby was in an upright position with most of his/her body pressure on the hip area for all of their waking and some of their sleeping hours.
With your baby, at 8 months of age, I'm guessing she is crawling a lot and interested in toys, so you're likely not wearing her all of her waking hours.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
Warm regards,

From what I understand, the carriers themselves to do not cause hip displaysia, but some can aggravate a preexisting condition. Also, it depends on the carriers and the way the baby's weight is distributed, even if they are facing out of in. Some carriers that are supposed to be safe because of the way they distribute weight and their design are the ERGO and as Kate hypothesized, wrap carriers. Here is some more information on this topic that may be of help BabyWearing Institute.

Baby carriers and hip dysplasia
The Hip Dysplasia Institute has a great article cover this. I have been meaning to write and article on this and just having had time. I have been given permission to use these images by them.
Not Recommended Recommended harness-03.jpg harness-04.jpg harness-05.jpg harness-06.jpg sling-01.jpg sling-02.jpg
You can read a lot about Hip Dyslpasia on the International Hip Dysplasia's website - it is a really informative site.
12th March 2012 10:36 PM #8
Thank you for sharing this information about Hip Dyslpasia.
I have come across this before and my understanding is that baby wearing following the recommended methods does not cause any risk of hip problems. In fact, it's better (and safer) than simply carrying the baby in your arms. When baby wearing, your baby:
-should be close enough to kiss
-should not have their chin down on their chest
-should not have anything obstructed their face
-should have a straight, supported back
When following these guidelines I believe it is safe to carry your baby for a number of hours every day.

The diagram above is incredibly helpful. I also believe that wearing a baby is not a concern for several hours a day, if safety measures are followed and the baby is being worn correctly. When I use a baby carrier, I ensure that my baby's knees are held in an upright position (slightly above his bottom), and I also make sure that his legs never dangle or fall too low. I also make sure that my baby's head and neck are supported. Even when my children were older, they would fall asleep in the carrier. This became an issue if I was wearing my baby on my back, so I would try to make sure that the upper portion of the carrier supported the baby's neck. I have also used a hood on the carriers with my toddlers, but you do need to make sure that the baby is able to breathe and nothing is covering his or her face.

The Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science provides medical and surgical treatment of eye diseases. The department members' interests include cataract surgery with lens implantation, transplantation including corneal diseases plus refractive surgery, vitreo-retinal surgery, and medical diseases of the retina including special treatment of diabetic retinopathy and age-related retinal degenerations, eye plastic surgery, strabismus surgery, and neuro-opthalmology.
Refractive surgery is based on special imaging of the cornea obtained by the computer. The surgery is employed to correct irregularities in the cornea. In selected cases, we also use surgery to correct refractive errors, eliminating the need for glasses.
The Retinal Imaging and Laser Treatment Center uses a computer to analyze retinal diseases in preparation for laser treatment. The vitreo-retinal center also specializes in difficult diagnostic problems including hereditary defects of the retina.
Glaucoma diagnosis and treatment is based on special computer-generated visual field testing and optical nerve imaging. The treatment includes outpatient laser as well as surgical intervention.
Strabismus surgery is based on television analysis and orthoptic testing of ocular motility. Treatment is carried out, in special cases, with sutures that can be adjusted after surgery for perfect alignment. Chemical injection replaces surgery in selected cases.
Neuro-ophthalmology consultation is available, as is ocular plastic surgery for external and eyelid defects.
All eye care services are located on the University of Chicago medical campus:
Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine

TOKYO -- Namco Bandai said it will combine its U.S. and European divisions and has named Mark Tsuji chief executive of the newly formed unit. Tsuji was previously president of Bandai America and oversaw the company's popular Tekken videogame franchise.
Namco Bandai games vice-president Carlson Choi told mcvuk.com, a UK-based news site, that the consolidation is not only about cost cutting, but also involves strategy. The integrated structure is intended to help Namco Bandai create game concepts in the U.S. and Europe that can migrate to Asia.
Until now, the vast majority of videogames developed and published by Japanese companies have originated in their corporate home offices. Namco has a 24% market share of home games in Japan and is hoping that the consolidated U.S.-European team will replicate that success in the West.
Namco previously underwent a dramatic restructuring just over one year ago, slashing 630 jobs -- 10% of the company's workforce -- in the wake of a $343 million loss during the final 10 months of calendar year 2010. | SEE STORY
Namco's longtime rival and sometimes ally Sega Sammy recently effected a similar consolidation of its U.S. and European operations. | SEE STORY

The Quiksilver back parking lot was bombarded on Saturday with a wash of fluorescent paint, loud 80's DJ Jams, and some rowdy jump-rampery in their first ever "All 80's, All Day" Skate Jam. It was a good turnout across all ages from the fourteens to the forties, and although some of the younger grommies ripping that day weren't even born yet in that glorious decade almost 20 years ago – the whole point if the day was fun, and everyone was certainly in the mood. Standouts included Sal Barbier's mastery of the bean plant to nosepick, as well as the rocket foot plant on the picnic table, and numerous twirling jamp ramp blasters. Eddie Reategui skated like a man possessed after building the whole course, and he was the only one to handle the steep bowled corner with a wicked rock n' roll slide. He took a well deserved first place. Alex Olson channeled the spirit of both Oster and Holmes and whipped aournd the course with the smoothness, while Oster and Hosoi themselves powered some moves that only true legends can keep for almost 20 years. Lance Mountain was on hand to judge as well as Steve Olson, Lance Dawes and Chris Ortiz enjoying the sun and the hot dogs. And not to forget Duane Peters who took out the Best Costume, even though he was looking a little more from the 70's than the 80's. It was a great vibe, and the general opinion was that there should be more contests like this – high on fun, low on pressure and lots of color!—Mike O'Meally
