It started as a hobby, but high-tunnel growing of basil and tomatoes has become a business that Brawley, Calif.-based Jack Bros. Inc. and Jack Family Farms intend to expand.
Seed suppliers and San Joaquin Valley nurseries got a boost in business from co-owner Alex Jack when he prepared 100,000 square feet of high tunnels for plantings.
Jack compared it to Noah's ark. The list of crops he took on board had no obvious rhyme or reason: peach, nectarine and avocado trees; heirloom tomatoes; melons; eggplant; and herbs, among other things.
In winter Jack Bros. Inc. typically concentrates on broccoli for D'Arrigo Bros. Co. of California and other crops for brands like Taylor Farms and Gills Onions. It farms about 4,000 acres.
But there came a time, Jack decided, to try some high tunnels on a piece of that.
"I just have always liked experimenting and playing with things on the side," he said. "Then when I saw how well the herbs and tomatoes were doing, I decided to tear out all the trees and increase my square footage."
With planting two-thirds finished, an unfortunate turn of events left Jack and his partners —– Russell Jack, his son, and Greg Peyser — tempted to tear out their hair as well.
"We had 100,000 square feet last March, and six days after we finished we stood back and had a barbecue to admire what we'd done," Alex Jack said. "Then 60-mile-per-hour winds blew it down, and we got to practice rebuilding them."
They stabilized the tunnels by ad hoc means and managed to finish the crop. When summer came, everything was rebuilt.
"We reinforced the whole setup, cementing it in and using stronger poles," he said. "If they blow away this time, the whole ranch is going to go with it."
As winter neared, the total rose to 130,000 square feet. Two thirds of the sheltered crop is herbs, mostly basil with a hint of mint. One third is grape and cherry tomatoes.
The plastic-covered high tunnels keep crops warm.
"Growing basil in winter here is not a problem," Jack said. The project is on his home ranch.
The effort is just starting to get sales moving, but the partners are ambitious.
"I expect to have probably 35 acres of high tunnels within three to four years," he said. "I would expect in 10 years to be rivaling the best herb companies in the business."
For Jack Bros. Inc., 2012 also marks 100 years in business. Alex's grandfather Earl Jack and Earl's brother Alvin Jack were also among the founders of Western Growers Association.
"We are the only remaining charter company in Western Growers," Jack said.

THE PARENTS of murdered Becky Godden-Edwards have spoken of their shock after detectives confirmed remains found in a farmer's field belong to the tragic blonde.
Teams of specialist officers were dispatched to a farmer's field in Eastleach, near Fairford, Gloucestershire, last month and recovered what they described as a bone.
Yesterday, the lead investigator Detective Chief Inspector Sean Memory confirmed the DNA matched that of Becky, and said there were ongoing forensic investigations into 'other items' but would not be drawn on what they might be.
The area searched is in the same location where Becky, who disappeared between the end of 2002 and early 2003, was discovered in April 2011 after police visited the site as part of their investigation into the murder of Sian O'Callaghan.
Mini-cab driver Chris Halliwell, of Ashbury Avenue, Nythe, was jailed for life for the 22-year-old's murder in October 2012 after he abducted her outside an Old Town nightclub in March 2011.
But a second charge against him for Becky's death was dropped after a judge ruled the senior investigator Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher breached the Police and Criminal Evidence Act by obtaining a confession from the 50-year-old in a series of unorthodox interviews.
Becky's family have put pressure on the father-of-three to talk to detectives but a police investigation has continued and on April 10 officers returned to the site.
DCI Memory, a cold case specialist, said: "The bone recovered from the field in Eastleach has now been subject to a forensic examination. I am able to say that the DNA matches that of Becky Godden-Edwards.
"Her family have been informed of this information. Other items were also recovered from the location, which are currently undergoing forensic examination.
"At this stage we cannot comment further on the nature of these items."
Becky's mum Karen Edwards said: "I'm very much in the dark – what do they mean by other items? I don't know what they could mean.
"It's nice that we have a bit of Becky back but it does make you think why wasn't the field excavated properly in the first place. Perhaps it is because of money and resources.
"I'm hopeful that this will get us one step closer to a conviction.
"Perhaps they are closing in now – they are working very hard and they are investigating it in a completely different way to the way they would do a live investigation."
Meanwhile, Becky's father John Godden said the news had come as a shock when detectives informed him this week.
"I'm really upset that the job was not done properly in the first place," he said.
"My stomach is in knots – I just want justice for Becky."
A Wiltshire Police spokes-man added: "The investigation is ongoing and any further forensic or investigative opportunities will be thoroughly explored."
- Anyone with any information should contact Wiltshire Police on 101 immediately.

Reche Caldwell charged in gambling case
Published: Monday, January 6, 2014 at 1:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 6, 2014 at 1:07 p.m.
TAMPA — Former NFL and University of Florida player Donald "Reche" Caldwell has been arrested by Tampa police on charges of operating an illegal gambling house and bookmaking.
Police say Caldwell was one of three leaders of the operation. Five other men are facing a variety of charges including probation violations, possession of a control substance and illegal gambling.
The 34-year-old Caldwell was a standout wide receiver at Florida and was chosen in the second round of the 2002 NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers. He also played for the New England Patriots and Washington Redskins. His younger brother Andre Caldwell is a receiver for the Denver Broncos.
Jail records show Caldwell is free on $4,000 bail in the gambling case. Court records Monday didn't list an attorney for him.

Rabbit's Killing next for Jayasundara
Paris-based Sri Lankan director Vimukthi Jayasundara's next feature will be a tale of homecoming set in Galle, a port-city in southern Sri Lanka.
The film - which has the working title Rabbit's Killing - is about an ethnic group in Sri Lanka called 'Burgers' who are male-line descendants of European colonists and left for Australia, the UK and US after Sri Lanka won independence. Rabbit's Killing chronicles the journey of a woman in her mid-fifties who lives in the US and wants to return to her house in Sri Lanka.
"I have been living outside Sri Lanka for about fifteen years. I understand very well what homecoming is," said Jayasundara. "It's about this woman's emotional baggage, memories of her childhood and her internal conflicts."
French company Unlimited Productions, which has produced Jayasundara's earlier films Between Two Worlds (2008) and The Forsaken Land (2004), has also boarded Rabbit's Killing. The film is expected to shoot at the end of 2013.
"Unlike my other films, it will be quite mainstream and have an international cast," said Jayasundara.
Jayasundara's 33-minute film Light In The Yellow Breathing Space is competing in Muhr AsiaAfrica Shorts here in DIFF.

Adults Only Should Mean Adults Only, Lawmaker Says [AUDIO]
Kids can't buy cigarettes, alcohol or tickets to an X-Rated movie, so why are they allowed to buy video games that are rated, "adults only" or "mature?"
That's what one New Jersey Assemblyman wants to know and he's sponsoring a bill to make it illegal for minors to purchase the games.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), a non-profit, self-regulatory body, independently assigns ratings to video games. Assemblyman Sean Kean has introduced legislation to prevent minors from purchasing "mature" or "adults only" rated video games.
"The ESRB's ratings are designed to alert parents to the content of the games, however, they do preclude a retailer from selling them to minors," says Kean. "The bottom line is games rated 'mature or "adults only' should not be sold to minors. They are often very violent, sexually explicit and deal with themes not appropriate for children."
Kean has unveiled two bills.
The first measure prohibits the sale of any video game with an ESRB rating of "mature" or "adults only" to a person under the age of 18. A violation carries a fine of up to $10,000 for a first offense and up to $20,000 for each subsequent offense. The State Attorney General would be permitted to issue "cease and desist" orders against the retailer and award punitive damages to the minor.
"Just as it's unlawful for minors to purchase alcohol and cigarettes, because it's detrimental to their well being, the same can be said of adult video games, most of which contain extremely inappropriate content for a young viewer's eyes and ears," says Kean. "These two pieces of legislation are intended to protect children."
Under the second bill, minors would be permitted to purchase video games containing mature and adult content only if their parent or guardian is present during the purchase and gives their consent verbally or in writing at the time of the sale. Penalties for any violations are the same as with the first bill.
A "mature" ESRB rating means games are not meant for children and should only be played by people older than 17. They may contain greater amounts of violence, blood and gore, sexual content and stronger language.
An "adults only" rating means the video games are for adults because the games contain prolonged scenes of violence and/or sex.

Nothing says hunger like a bunch of rowdy football fans in your house. Keep those sports fanatics out of the kitchen by serving them plenty of tasty food as the Seattle Seahawks battle the Denver Broncos in the NFL Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday, Feb. 2.
Toasted Spinach Dip
Spinach dip is always popular at parties. This one does not contain mayonnaise, as most do. If you prefer a little crunch, chop up some water chestnuts and add them to the dip.
12 oz fresh spinach or 10 oz frozen spinach (1 pkg)
1 package whipped cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1 small red onion for garnish
1 teaspoon salt and pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder (as desired)
Harvest Wheat or Buttercrisp crackers
Steam fresh spinach or cook frozen chopped spinach. Drain very well and chop if needed.
In a mixing bowl, combine spinach with cream cheese and sour cream. Season with garlic powder and salt and pepper, as desired.
Top a cracker with spinach dip. Garnish with small red onion ringlet or diced onion.
Bacon Pizza
I have seen a similar recipe to this one floating around on the Internet so I thought I'd give it a try.
If you're a fan of bacon and the sweet and salty flavor, you will like this recipe. After tasting it I thought it could almost be served at breakfast alongside eggs.
1 tube Crescent Rolls
1 lb bacon, semi-crispy
1 cup brown sugar
¾ cup maple syrup
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray sheet with vegetable spray. Unroll dough onto sheet. Use a fork to prick dough all over.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cayenne pepper with a fork and set aside.
First slather the dough with half of the maple syrup using a brush. Next evenly spread bacon pieces on top dough and use the rest of the syrup to cover bacon. Then sprinkle bacon with brown sugar and cayenne pepper mixture.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting into small pieces.
Crock Pot Ribs
If you have a request for ribs on the game-day menu, take the easy way out. Ribs in the crock pot could not be simpler. If you have a big crowd to feed, cook up another rack in a second crock pot.
1 rack Baby back ribs
1 bottle barbeque sauce
all-purpose seasoning such as Cookies
Season ribs with all-purpose seasoning or a mixture of paprika, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Place the meaty side against the wall of the crock pot. Pour 2-3 cups of bbq sauce onto ribs. Cover crock pot with lid and set crock pot to low setting. Cook for 4-5 hours or until meat is falling off the bone. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting between the bones. The extra barbeque sauce can be used as a dipping sauce.
Bacon-wrapped Crackers
These crackers were part of my Christmas appetizers column, but this is a different version. The first version used grated parmesan and this version uses brown sugar instead. Make a batch of each and see which one you like better.
The bacon-wrapped crackers can be cooled and then frozen in a resealable bag until game day. Heat them in the oven for 10 minutes at 300 degrees until warm.
1 sleeve Club-style crackers
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 pound thinly sliced bacon
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Lay the crackers face up on a large rack over a baking sheet (or broiler pan). Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar onto each cracker. Cut the package of bacon in half (or cut pieces individually) and carefully, so the brown sugar doesn't fall off, wrap each cheese covered cracker with one half piece of bacon, completely covering the cracker. It should fit snugly around the cracker, but not be pulled too taut. Place the bacon-wrapped crackers onto the rack. Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 2 hours. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
Tailgating Asian Wings
Chicken wings are sure to score a touchdown with football fans. Instead of traditional buffalo wing sauce, try wings with an Asian flair. Restaurant owner and cook Guy Fieri has perfected his recipe for wings with a zing.
1 lb chicken wings, cut into segments, tips removed and discarded
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
Asian Sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons lime zest
3 tablespoons lime juice, from 1 lime
1/4 cup orange juice, from 1/2 orange
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon chili garlic paste
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the wings with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken wings on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place in the preheated oven and cook for 45 minutes.
To make sauce:
Combine all of the ingredients in a resealable gallon-size plastic bag and shake to combine or a large bowl and whisk well.
Remove the wings from the oven to a bowl and pour sauce over wings.
Note: If you prefer more of a glazed wing, toss them in the sauce and then bake them in the oven until sticky.
No-Bake Chewy Cookies and Cream Bars
If you need something sweet and simple to feed your NFL fans, try Oreo bars that are a light and crisp like Rice Krispie bars.
16 oz pkg Oreos
5 cups large marshmallows
4 tablespoons butter
Place Oreos in food processor and pulse until ground or place in a resealable bag and break cookies with a rolling pin. Melt marshmallows and butter in microwave until puffed, about 1 1/2- 2 minutes. Remove and pour in ground Oreo Cookies. Stir to combine then transfer to a foil lined 8×8 inch baking pan. Let bars set up for 10 minutes. Remove bars out of pan with edges of foil and cut into squares.

Clean & Green Twist Clean-Up Set
I ordered this sponge package through Delight.com, and I loved it. In particular, the Twist Euro Cloths are my favorite items. They are the perfect size - more the size of a dishcloth than a sponge - and they are absorbent and just do the clean-up job right. Also, Delight.com's service, in my experiences, have been excellent. V. quick shipping, no problems.

ProPublica: Law and Disorder
Shot Frequently and Asked Few Questions
Case Six
New Orleans police officers responded to an emergency call near Danziger Bridge on Sept. 4, 2005. They opened fire on a group of civilians, injuring four and killing two.
The autopsy reports show that Ronald Madison, 40, was shot once in the shoulder and five times in the back, while 17-year-old James Brissette was killed by seven gunshots.
The survivors were seriously injured: Susan Bartholomew lost her right arm as a result of the gunfire; Lesha Bartholomew suffered four gunshot wounds; Leonard Bartholomew was shot three times; and Jose Holmes Jr. had to have a colostomy after he was shot in the stomach.
No police officers were injured.
Danziger Bridge
The Police Account
At approximately 9 a.m., police responded to a report that two officers had been shot in the area of Chef Menteur Highway and Downman Road, near Danziger Bridge, according to the NOPD's report of the incident. Once they arrived, the officers say, they came under fire and began shooting back.
They initially charged Ronald Madison's brother, Lance Madison, with eight counts of attempted murder, but a grand jury declined to indict him.
The Civilians' Account
All of the surviving civilians agree on one thing: They didn't shoot at the police. They've filed a string of lawsuits against the police claiming their rights were violated; those suits remain on hold as federal authorities investigate.
According to a suit filed by Holmes, the officers didn't issue any orders or warnings before firing their weapons, and their vehicle did not have any markings on it to identify them as law enforcement officers. Holmes says he was shot twice in his abdomen by an officer standing over him.
The Aftermath
Investigators assigned to the Danziger Bridge shooting relied heavily on their colleagues' statements for their 54-page report. Reporters at the New Orleans Times-Picayune haven't been able to locate two civilian witnesses who were interviewed for the report, or uncover any evidence that these witnesses actually exist. And another key witness, David Ryder, was a fraud. He told police he was a St. Landry Parish sheriff's deputy, but, in fact, Ryder was a convicted criminal who'd never worked for the St. Landry sheriff.
Eddie Jordan, then the New Orleans district attorney, got an indictment of seven officers on murder and attempted murder charges in December 2006. Citing prosecutorial missteps, a state court judge dismissed the case in 2008.
FBI agents are now investigating the Danziger Bridge shooting. In September, the agents shut down the bridge, trying to recreate the scene and collect any remaining evidence. Dozens of officers and department leaders -– including the current chief and his predecessor—have been called to testify before a grand jury.

There doesn't appear to be anything close to last year's deck-clearing Scott Gomez deal or the Dany Heatley talks of June 30, 2009, going down tonight, and from one horse's mouth, nothing major is expected to happen tomorrow involving the Rangers and the free-agent market.
I guess they will announce the Derek Stepan signing tomorrow, and I imagine they're working on a deal with Jody Shelley before he hits the unrestricted market. They will surely sniff out a backup goalie — though there are plenty of them available, and no need to rush into that fray. Erik Christensen, meanwhile, might want to think about what happens if he's not interested in the two-year, $750,000 offer from the Rangers and then doesn't get a better offer somewhere else. Would the Rangers' offer still be there?
Personally, I think $750,000 is a bargain for a guy who could play minutes on the top two lines. On the other hand, why should the Rangers go much higher … other than they probably will have to pay more to plug that relatively small hole.
But I'm getting the feeling that the Rangers won't be in it for Ilya Kovalchuk, and that if he really wants $9M per or more, there won't be a lot of teams in it, either. The old saying, though, is that it only takes one team.
The fun begins at noon Eastern time. Or Leastern, as we like to say here.

For pregnant women who need calcium: The best calcium herbs are oat straw, borage and bancha twigs. Bancha twigs are LOADED with calcium. Another thing very high in calcium is hijiki seaweed. A half-cup has about 1,400 mg. of calcium! Pregnant women should also make sure they're ingesting a fat/oil of some sort within an hour or so since calcium binds with fat/oil in the stomach and assimilates this way.

3) News Flashes
Young women who exercise regularly and use oral contraceptives may not get the boost in bone strength seen in women who exercise and do not use oral contraceptives. A recent study showed that while regular resistance training and aerobic exercise over a two-year period strengthened bones in women aged 18 to 31, oral contraceptives appeared to prevent the buildup of bone density. The findings suggest that women who take oral contraceptives may be compromising their chances of attaining peak bone mass, according to Dr. Connie M. Weaver of Purdue University. Women who did not use oral contraceptives had higher bone mineral content at skeletal sites throughout their body at two years compared with women who used oral contraceptives.

4) Intact Perineum
An intact perineum is the goal of every birthing woman. Advising a woman to do perineal massage in pregnancy implies a lack of confidence that her tissues have been designed perfectly to give birth to her infant. The intact perineum begins long before the day of the birth. Sharing what the feeling of a baby's head stretching the tissues will be like and warning the mother about the pitfalls in pushing will go a long way to having a smooth passage for both baby and mother. The woman will be receptive to conversations in prenatal visits about the realities of the birth process. Here is the information I convey for the second stage:
1. When you begin to feel like pushing it will be a bowel movement-like feeling. We will not rush this part. You will tune into your body and do the least bearing down possible. This will allow your body to suffuse hormones to your perineum and make it very stretchy by the time the baby's head is there.
2. The feeling will increase until it feels like you are splitting in two and it's more than you can stand. This is normal, and no one has ever split in two, so you won't be the first. Because you have been educated that this is normal, you will relax and find this an interesting and weird experience. You may have the thought, "(My
3. The next distinct feeling is a burning, pins-and-needles feeling at the opening of the vagina. Many women describe this as a "ring of fire." It is instinctive to slap your hand down on the now-bulging vulva and try to control where the baby's head is starting to emerge. This instinct should be followed. It seems to really help to have your own hands there. Sometimes women like to have very hot cloths applied to their perineum at this point. If you like or dislike the feeling, say so.
4. Most women like pushing more than dilating. When you're pushing, you feel like you're getting somewhere and that there really is a goal for your efforts.
5. This is a time of great concentration and focus. Extraneous conversation will not be allowed in the room. Once you begin feeling the ring of fire, there is no need for hurry. You will be guided to push as you feel like until the baby is crowning. All that will be touching your tissues is the hot cloth and your own hands. It is important for the practitioner to keep her hands off because the blood-filled tissues can be easily bruised and weakened, which can lead to tearing.
6. The point of full crowning is very intense and requires extreme focus on the burning. It is a safe, healthy feeling but unlike anything you have felt before.... Panting and rising above the pushing urge will help you focus, and you will have less discomfort in the long run.
7. You will be offered plain water throughout this phase because hydration seems to be important when pushing. You can take the wateror leave it.
8. Once the head is fully born, you will feel a great sense of relief. You will keep focused for the next sensation, which will bring the baby's shoulders out and the baby's whole body will quickly emerge after that with very little effort on your part. The baby will go up onto your bare skin immediately, and it is the most ecstatic feeling in the world. Your perineum may feel somewhat hot and tender in the first hour after birth. The remedy that helps the most is to apply very hot, wet cloths. This is in keeping with the Chinese medicine theory that cold should never be applied to new mothers or babies. Women report they feel instantly more comfortable when heat is applied, and any swelling diminishes rapidly.
I also like to twist a diagonally folded bath towel into a very tight roll and coil that into a ring for the woman to sit on when breastfeeding.

7) Question of the Week Responses
Q: My daughter is 18 and just discovered she is about 9 or 10 weeks pregnant. She has bipolar disorder and was on Depakote ER 1,500 mg, which we know can cause birth defects, specifically neural tube defects. She stopped taking her med's as soon as she suspected she might be pregnant (at about 8 weeks). She is taking prenatal vitamins with folic acid to try to help the situation, if such a thing is possible. Is there anything else she should be taking to help with this? Can she deliver with a midwife out of hospital or should she go to a hospital for birthing? If there are any birth defects, what can she expect to happen at delivery?
- Anon.
A: I served a bipolar mom who gave birth at home. She went off med's before she hired me. She went through many mood swings, repeated herself often and had to be counseled often, but nothing outrageous happened as is often portrayed. She needed praise, trust and as much info as she could get. This super-intelligent woman had a great pregnancy and ate well, although she had a few bouts of high anxiety, mainly from a boyfriend who wasn't at home much and drank often. She birthed a 9 lb., 8 oz. baby after many days of prodromal labor. She lost herself a few times in labor screaming and letting energy out, but nothing abnormal about that - she just needed to let go. It took some time for her to birth the head; baby was a mild dystocia but was perfect in 2 minutes.
I think if she had had a hospital birth, she would have been violated many times. She would have been pressured to have an epidural to "shut her up," and I think she would have had an "episode" from the trauma. She planned to take something in the upcoming months after the birth, but wanted to give baby breastmilk for some time, so held off. She did much research on the 'net to find out what would work best. She did confess that she smoked marijuana 2 to 3 times during her bad times in pregnancy. I assume she had planned to use it after birth only if absolutely necessary, until she could go back on med's.
- Midwife
I am bipolar and take Depakote. I was taking it before each pregnancy (I have five children), and they were all just fine. The doctors will look for things throughout the pregnancy using ultrasound and other tests to know if something could be wrong. But as long as she has stopped taking it, she should be fine!
- Carmen Rae
A: It is important to remember that just because a drug "CAN" cause birth defects doesn't mean that it will. It just means there is a higher risk of this rare problem. Fortunately neural tube defects are easily detected in pregnancy. There are several screening procedures your daughter can use to find out if all is well. Only "IF" you see a problem would it be worth worrying about where the baby should be born. At this point in pregnancy, there is no reason why your daughter should not be able to begin prenatal care with a midwife in the anticipation of a homebirth -- unless problems become apparent later in the pregnancy.
- Gail Hart, midwife
A: Unfortunately, neural tube closure happens during the days in the first week after that first missed menstrual period. Taking folic acid at eight weeks will not make any difference in preventing neural tube defects, although less well-documented potential benefits such as a possible reduction in lip and palate abnormalities makes continuing with the supplementation a good idea anyway.
At this point I would recommend she inform herself on options for prenatal diagnosis of neural tube defects. The easiest of these is a blood test for maternal serum alpha feto-protein which is drawn at 16 weeks and, when elevated, picks up 80 percent of spinal defects and 95 percent of brain defects of the neural tube defect category. (Just remember most women with an elevated result have perfectly normal babies. It is a screen for the defect, not a diagnostic tool. So an elevated result does not mean there is something wrong with the baby most of the time. Nor does a normal result guarantee the baby is fine.) MSAFP screening in combination with fetal assessment by ultrasound is the best option for prenatal diagnosis of neural tube defects. If the baby is fine she can then deliver wherever she chooses.
If a defect is present, she will then have the option of deciding to terminate the pregnancy, trying to arrange one of those new experimental in utero repair surgeries, which seem to have good outcomes, or planning the birth that will best care for and protect the baby. If she were to carry a baby with a neural tube defect to term, there are advantages to knowing in advance of the birth. These include: arranging for a c-section delivery if that is determined to be best for the baby; an earlier delivery if the baby develops hydrocephalus (a common problem in babies with spina bifida); birthing in a center that specializes in the surgical procedures that close the open defect of the spine after birth. This way she can remain with the baby throughout the recovery period. She can also arrange for support and prepare herself mentally for the stress she will experience.
Let's hope that her baby is fine and that the neural tube has closed perfectly and no other part of the baby's system has been affected. In the meantime she has to take care of herself and continue on med's for her bipolar disorder that will not affect the baby. She will need careful monitoring by someone familiar with both pregnancy and bipolar disorder or two people who can work closely together for her and her baby's benefit.
- Natalie Bjorklund
A: It is wonderful that your daughter is taking a naturopathic approach to her unborn baby's health! And your support is an added positive element. Yes, other preventatives may help with good development of her baby. One of them is zinc. When we take it in a water-soluble form and with a little vitamin C, the amount the body needs is easily absorbed. Zinc helps brain development and is considered helpful to prevent brain defects and other developmental anomalies. Also the usual supplements: B vitamin complex (brown rice based) along with the folic acid and a good calcium/magnesium (citrate or a water soluble form), etc., not only help with baby's development but also the well being of the mother during (and after) pregnancy. There is no need to overdo any one supplement, which can be harmful. A balance of good foods and a little extra supplementation on a regular daily basis is of great benefit. Even if she may not have a homebirth for some reason, I would certainly employ a very nutrition-knowledgeable midwife during the prenatal period. This kind of prenatal care has shown to be one of the reasons for better outcomes. She might wish to consider a naturopathic physician for the bipolar condition as well, to help achieve healthful, confidence-building results. Whatever your choices, positive thoughts will also be very helpful.
- Julia
A: Several issues in your letter need to be addressed: The increased risk of neural tube defect with Depakote use is 1 to 2 percent, about the same as in someone with a family history of neural tube defect. The risk is when women take the medication between days 17 and 30, during formation of the neural tube; thus taking folic acid now, as well as discontinuing her Depakote use will not decrease the risk of a neural anomaly. Your daughter needs to do several things: First, she should discuss the risks and benefits of drawing an AFP and other antenatal testing with her care provider. Next, she should consider a level II ultrasound for fetal anatomy. Finally, she should discuss with her psychiatric provider and her OB provider (preferably a perinatologist who has experience taking care of women with bipolar disorder in pregnancy) the risks of discontinuing her bipolar medication during pregnancy and other medication options for her depending on the severity of her illness. I think delivering at home is the least of her worries. But then again, if through antenatal testing birth defects are ruled out and her psychiatric condition is under control, why else would it be a problem?

8) Switchboard
Editor's note: Last week's insertion about how women handle stress can be found in its entirety at http://www.psu.edu/ur/2000/womenstress.html The study, led by UCLA principal investigator Dr. Shelley E. Taylor, will be published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Review, a journal of the American Psychological Association.
The article about women's responses to stress in Issue 4:8 reminded me of the motto two of my friends made up for themselves at a time a few years ago when they were both pregnant moms with young children at home: "When the going gets tough, the tough make dinner."

10) Connections
I saw Midwifery Today in a health market in my area. A front-cover line caught my eye: "A Natural Alternative to Suturing." I had a median episiotomy and suturing from a physician somehow dragging the scissors down toward my midline region - about one extra inch on each side of my fourchette. I was never told I was getting an episiotomy. Ever since, I have had a constant dull ache in this area, an ache that was at first a burning ache. My physician assured me everything looked normal and treated me like this was all in my head. I have been frustrated to the point of tears.
Please, can someone direct me to a midwife (preferably one in my area but I am willing to drive or fly anywhere to finally have this corrected) who would be willing to re-do this scar using the seaweed instead of sutures technique? My physician referred me to a vulvar specialist, whom she sarcastically referred to as "The World's Leading Expert." I am not averse to seeing physicians, but emotionally I would really like to be treated by a compassionate individual committed to women's health - physical, emotional and spiritual - and not by a paternalistic healthcare provider.
I live in Fairfield County, Connecticut. I have no idea how to go about finding a midwife or physician in the field of natural medicine who might be able and willing to help me.

South Africa have retained the No.1 Test ranking after beating Australia by 309 runs in the deciding third Test at the WACA Ground.
Chasing a record 632 for victory, Australia were bowled out for 322 late on day four, with retiring batsman Ricky Ponting making just eight in his final innings.
Opener Ed Cowan and tail-ender Mitchell Starc posted half-centuries, but it wasn't nearly enough to stop South Africa securing a 1-0 series victory.

I spent a day at West Point last week—meeting Jewish and non-Jewish cadets, seeing the sights, talking about leadership education with administration and faculty, and teaching a class about Judaism, the distinctive pattern of religious belief and practice in America, and the role of religion in stimulating and sanctifying violence—and in eliciting and sanctifying compassion. It was a powerful experience—rendered all the more so for me by the fact that it took place on the anniversary of Kristallnacht and—according to the Hebrew calendar—of Yitzhak Rabin's assassination. Several moments in particular stand out in my memory.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/12/2012 (1717 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Canada's favourite boy band the Barenaked Ladies received a hero's welcome from a near-capacity house as they strode onstage for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra's pops program Hits and Holiday Songs.
Friday night's concert kicked off three weekend shows with the orchestra as the ultimate pickup band led by maestro Richard Lee.
The band rocketed to fame during the 1990s, becoming known for cheeky wit and smooth harmonies in tunes such as If I Had a Million Dollars and Be My Yoko Ono. Co-founded by Ed Robertson and former member Steven Page in 1988, the group now consists of Robertson (guitar/vocals), Jim Creeggan (bass/vocals), Kevin Hearn (keyboard/guitar/vocals) and Tyler Stewart (drums/vocals). But the ghost of the golden-voiced Page, who left in 2009 to pursue a solo career, still stalks the band.
The 11-song show opened with a cover of Bruce Cockburn's 1984 hit Lovers in a Dangerous Time. Despite strong vocals by the four lads, er, Ladies, balance problems immediately cropped up that persisted throughout the concert. Lyrics were frequently engulfed by a muddy sound mix or subsumed by the power of the orchestra. Only in quieter sections, or during solo instrumental breaks such as Hearn's charming mandolin introduction in I Saw Three Ships from the band's 2004 Christmas release Barenaked for the Holiday, or the gorgeous three-part harmonies sung by Robertson, Stewart and Creeggan in Sound of Your Voice, could one really hear what was going on.
The four are extraordinarily versatile musicians, frequently changing instruments. Kudos to the hard-working stagehands who kept it all together, trading instruments after nearly every number and even mid-song. But it proved too much of a good thing, with the near-constant kaleidoscopic movement becoming a distraction.
However, the Ladies also know how to put on a good show, with easy banter and plenty of self-deprecating humour. They promised the crowd of 2,041 "this is where it gets crazy," which it almost did during the lively uptempo Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah or Jingle Bells that breaks into the irreverent "Batman smells" lyric variation.
Another quirky surprise was the "Meet the Orchestra" segments between numbers, in which WSO players were interviewed by band members.
There's no way they could get away without singing If I Had a Million Dollars, and so they did, to the delight of the audience.
Symphony concerts featuring rock/pop bands have become hugely popular. This is a good thing, but too often, the orchestra is used thinly with 60-plus musicians sitting (mostly) idly by, which was the case with this show.
But this is all bah humbug. The crowd had a great time as this entertaining band showed it's still Ladies first.
The concert repeats at the Centennial Concert on tonight at 8, followed by a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- No matter what your business does or who you're trying to reach, any company can benefit from a tailored corporate voice and good press. The public relations professionals who provide those messages can either be a permanent part of your team or part of an external firm, and knowing which approach is best for your company can be difficult. If your small business is drowning in social media responsibilities or in need of some positive attention, the only real question is exactly what kind of PR support you need. Our experts weigh in on whether an in-house PR professional or an external firm offers the most bang for your business. What are the benefits to hiring someone to handle PR in-house? Companies can benefit from the institutional knowledge, quick response time and holistic business understanding that an internal PR resource can bring, says Anna Ruth Williams, founder and CEO of AR|PR, an Atlanta-based public relations firm servicing technology and startup companies. "Nothing can replace an in-house staff person that works every day in the office and constantly feels the heartbeat of the organization," Williams says. With a member of your team devoted solely to PR, you'll never have to question the kind of message you're getting, says Sabina Gault, CEO and founder of Konnect PR, a midsize PR firm servicing the baby and children and food and beverage industries. "The real benefit is that you're calling the shots -- you have a person focused entirely on your company, and these people are entrenched in your brand," Gault says. "They live and breathe your colors, your flavors, what you're launching, when you're launching it, and they can answer any question about your brand accurately in a heartbeat." Having a full-time staff member accountable for all your PR efforts is something an agency simply can't give you, Gault says. "At an agency, people change. They get shifted to different accounts. If you have someone working full time at your office you can go up to them and say, 'I wanted this to happen by this date. Why is it not happening?' There's just more communication, more contact," Gault says.

I found what looked to be a good resource for python 2.x here: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/authentication.shtml in python 3 I replaced to my understanding urllib2 with urllib.request This however doesn't seem to yield much. I have the rest of the script written to loop through an excel spreadsheet, search each column contents, and grab the resulting images through the URL parsed out of the HTML. Is there any good resources to figure out how to authenticate my python program? How will i know if I need to supply cookies or not.

Setting Exercise Goals and Sticking to Them: Q&A With Iron Chef Michael Symonby Joseph Erdos in Uncategorized, January 21, 2013
Bobby Flay manages to stay fit and healthy even with a busy lifestyle as a chef, and he's eager to share his healthy eating and fitness plan with fans in a seven-part Web series, Bobby Flay Fit.
In Episode 3 of Bobby Flay Fit, Bobby's friend, Iron Chef Michael Symon, joins Bobby in the gym for a workout. Bobby's a runner and Michael prefers lifting weights, so Michael shows Bobby a few new weight-lifting routines and Bobby challenges Michael to a race.
Healthy Eats caught up with Michael to talk more about exercising, setting goals, challenging yourself and getting kids involved early on in physical activity.
What is your biggest challenge in terms of working out?
Michael Symon: Staying on a consistent schedule — that's the hardest thing for me. My schedule isn't regular so it's hard for me to get into a routine. And I'm a routine-based person. When I fall out of it, it's hard for me to get back on track. What I do, instead of telling myself I'm going to work out at this time every day, I tell myself, I'm going to work out after a certain event each day. So every day, when I'm done taping The Chew, I go right to the gym. It doesn't matter whether I get done at 1 pm, 3 pm or 6 pm. When I based it off of a certain time and missed it, I felt guilty.
Do you prefer working out with a partner or by yourself?
MS: I prefer working out with a partner. They help you push yourself. If you're having an off day, they're there to pick you up. If you feel like skipping a day, they'll motivate you to go to the gym anyway. It absolutely helps me.
What are some things that you always eat? Or never eat?
MS: One thing I always eat is Greek yogurt and I eat lots of it. I eat that pretty much every day regardless. There's really nothing that I won't eat, besides raspberries (I really don't like them); my diet's pretty diverse otherwise.
How do you mix up your workout?
MS: I try and work out five days a week. So I do three days of lifting and two days of cardio. I don't mix up my cardio as much as I mix up my lifting. Essentially, when I lift, I focus on two muscle groups per workout. I'll do that exercise for that muscle group for two weeks and then I'll change to a different exercise to hit the same muscle groups.
Bobby says he can beat you in cardio, but you would probably have him in lifting weights. Did pairing up with Bobby as a workout partner motivate you?
MS: I think for someone like me, Bobby is a great workout partner because our strengths lie in different areas — we learn from each other. It will always help you to work out with someone who's stronger in your weakest point. I think that both of us are super competitive. I look at it this way: If I stick with cardio for a month or two, I could beat him at his own game. Then he could learn from me with lifting — but he'll never catch me. In fact, in a couple weeks, I could be better than him at both activities!
How would you get kids involved with sports or other physical activities for lifelong fitness goals?
MS: I think parents should get kids involved in a sport early in their lives. It teaches them physical fitness; it teaches them discipline. When kids find an activity that they really enjoy, then it will stick. The biggest thing we should do with kids is get them out. It's been said before, but it doesn't happen enough. No video games. Get them moving so fitness just happens naturally. When I was a kid, I wasn't in my house except for homework and dinner. That's it. Any other time, I was out running around with my friends. I think as parents we need to be more disciplined and say, "No, you're not going to sit there and play that video game for four hours. You're going to go outside, run around and have a good time." Get them moving.
Since you're a chef with a busy schedule, do you stick to any rules in terms of eating?
MS: I don't. My motto is: I work out to eat. I eat what I want. I know that when I exercise, I'm in good shape. When I don't, that's when I gain weight. Plain and simple, the reason I exercise is so I can eat what I want.
Do you have any other words of wisdom to share?
MS: The biggest thing I could share with people is not to get frustrated. You're going to miss going to the gym sometimes. You're going to get into a rut when you're not doing it. It's going to happen. Just stick with it and keep going back to it. Don't beat yourself up if everything's not perfect. That's what happens. People set unrealistic goals for themselves and then they miss a couple of days, maybe even a week. Just do what you can do and you'll be fine.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/10/2013 (1408 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MONTREAL — Too bad Investors Group Field wasn't built in Montreal.
For the second time this season, third time in a row and fourth time in their last five games, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers emerged victorious in Montreal at Stade Molson, dropping the Alouettes 34-27 Monday in a chippy and mistake-filled game.
The win, which keeps Winnipeg's narrow playoff hopes alive for another week, was just the third victory for Winnipeg in 15 games this year and it came in a game in which the Bombers were 11-point underdogs despite their recent successes in Montreal.
A total of seven Montreal turnovers — five in the first half — aided the Bombers' cause immeasurably, but the Bombers offence also put up their best effort in almost half a season, racking up 309 net yards.
The win snapped a four-game Bombers losing streak — and six-game losing streak on the road. And while you can argue it's all much too little, much too late — and you'd be right — that would also miss the exceptional effort put forth on this day by a Bombers team many had given up for dead.
"We haven't exactly reached the summit of Everest here," said offensive lineman Glenn January, "but we did take a step in the right direction.
"We've got a group of guys who've decided they will play with passion and with pride and go out and prove that we're not going to roll over. Who knows what tomorrow brings, but today we proved we can put it together and beat a tough divisional opponent."
An offensive offence finally finds traction
After yet another slow start saw the Bombers register just 59 yards of total offence through the first 28 minutes of the game, the Blue finally got rolling late in the second quarter as QB Max Hall put together a five-play, 77-yard drive, capped by a 40-yard TD strike to receiver Clarence Denmark.
It took even longer for the running game to get going — Winnipeg had just 10 rushing yards through the first three quarters — but a 69-yard Will Ford romp in the fourth quarter that set up the game-winning TD proved to be all the running game the Bombers would need on this day.
Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers
The Bombers were a league-worst minus-26 in turnovers coming into Monday, but owned the turnover battle 7-2 on this day.
A Bombers defence that had recorded a league-worst seven interceptions all season added another four, while forcing Montreal to turn the ball over three times on downs.
By day's end, a defence that surrendered 622 yards to Calgary one week earlier surrendered less than half that — 295 yards.
A costly win
The training staff was kept busy all day dealing with the injury fallout of an exceptionally hard-hitting game.
While several Bombers were helped from the field before later returning — including linebacker Ian Wild and offensive lineman Glenn January — there were three Bombers who left and did not return: S Jovon Johnson (ankle); DB Desia Dunn (ankle); Aaron Kelly (suspected concussion).
Head coach Tim Burke said after the game he did not know how serious the injuries were, or when — or if — the three players would return to play this season.
Up next
The Bombers playoff scenario remains the same — they need to win all of their remaining games and have Montreal lose all of theirs.
Winnipeg next plays this Saturday at Investors Group Field against the Toronto Argonauts. The Argos have the best road record in the CFL, while Winnipeg has the second-worst home record at 1-6.
