This seems to be pretty much a retread of an earlier image. It's still nice to look at in its own right. When I looked at the thumbnail, I thought it was a picture of Gandhi. I'm glad it wasn't. I wouldn't want to see his body on the beach. You again work with those little spots that jut out of the larger image.
You're really good at drawing cartoony teeth. Now that I think about it, most teeth in cartoons look like that. Or maybe it's just the cuter pictures. He should have known better than to go to the beach. Of course, you can refresh in the water.

Pharmacy and Medications
Medication During Lactating
My wife, who is 27 and mother of a 9 month old baby girl, has high blood pressure that developed during her pregnancy. Post delivery her blood pressure is 140/90 without medication. Her doctor advised her to take Olmestran Medoxomil 20mg & Hydrochlorothiazide tablets regularly. She has taken these medications for the last 3 months while breast feeding our child. Is it advisable to consume these medicines while breast feeding.
All medications taken during pregnancy or while breast-feeding should be reviewed with your doctor to ensure they are needed. It is important to make sure your doctor knows that your wife is breast-feeding because any medication can be a potential risk to the baby. Olmesartan is a relatively new medicine and there is no information on human use while breast-feeding. Because of this, a potential risk to the baby cannot be ruled out. Hydrochlorothiazide at doses of 50mg or less is usually alright to take while breast feeding.
Depending on how high your wife's blood pressure is without any medications, she may not need to take any medications while breast feeding. If her blood pressure is 140/90 or less without medications she may not to treat her high blood pressure during the time she will be breast feeding your daughter.
If your wife's blood pressure is 140/90 or more while taking her blood pressure medicines she may need to continue treating her high blood pressure. If a blood pressure medicine is needed, your doctor may want to consider a medicine other than Olmesartan. Perhaps one has been studied in women who are breast-feeding. One option might be taking the hydrochlorothiazide alone. Other options are Methyldopa or Nifedipine.
Your doctor is the best person to help you decide what is most appropriate for your wife in this situation. A pharmacist who knows you may provide additional information to help resolve these issues.

Postcards From Camp Indianapolis Terre Haute, Ind.| July 31, 2007 More Postcards From Camp
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, in the lovely and tree-covered campus in the southwestern Indiana city of Terre Haute. (Just down the street from where Larry Legend shot baskets famously for Indiana State nearly 30 years ago.) I can't imagine a more perfect training site. The fans are close on sideline bleachers, the players sign autographs every day and the natural turf looks more like carpeting than carpet itself. It's just far enough away (70 miles) from Indianapolis for the players to feel removed, but not like they're on another planet.
Peyton Manning is as eager as ever even after winning a Super Bowl.
Five Things I Think I Think
1. I think the backup to Joseph Addai will raise a few eyebrows. You know how most teams in the NFL are desperate for two good backs, and how Addai and Dominic Rhodes were a great tandem for the Colts last year, combining for 264 rushing/receiving yards in the Super Bowl. The favorite to be Addai's backup, with Rhodes having fled to Oakland, is DeDe Dorsey, a 196-pound, 5-foot-10 free agent from the football powerhouse of Lindonwood (Mo.). He impressed the coaches with his eager work with the scout team last year and with a solid offseason. He got a lot of touches this morning. My guess is that Addai will get 350 touches as the primary back this season and Dorsey will be gradually worked in.
2. I think what really stuck out in practice today is that Peyton Manning is doing everything he can to feed the ball to Anthony Gonzalez -- in hopes of getting him ready to be the starting slot receiver. Gonzalez reminds me of Wes Welker -- a quick, sure-handed workhorse who has quickly earned Manning's trust.
3. I think one of the things the coaches love about Gonzalez is that he was the first player here on reporting day, which was Sunday. He even beat Manning.
4. I think you never know how a team is going to respond coming back from a Super Bowl victory. Will the players be hungry? Content? Motivated like they were the year before? I'd be a phony if I told you I had the definitive answer about the Colts after attending one practice and talking to players and coaches for 90 minutes. But this team reminds me an awful lot of the Patriots, in how they react after winning. Manning has returned to camp so hungry, it's sick. Tony Dungy, like Bill Belichick, is a total flat-liner; you'd never know whether he won the Super Bowl or went 0-16 last year. And if you think GM Bill Polian has some Super Bowl hangover, you're dead wrong. I don't think it will be any satisfied mentality that deters Indy from winning again.
5. I think Dwight Freeney looks and sounds an awful lot like a man determined to prove that his 5.5-sack season last year was a fluke, not the start of a declining period of production. All eyes will be on him because of his huge contract, and I think he'll be back in double digits in sacks.
Did you know?
That a couple of miles from training camp are two interesting landmarks:.
1) The Terre Haute International Airport. Doesn't an international airport have to have flights to sites outside of Indiana? I mean, is ComAir flying nonstop from Terre Haute to Beijing?
2) Just down the road from Rose-Hulman, you'll find the Crapo insurance company. Perhaps free-agent Craphonso Thorpe can do some insurance shopping while in town for camp.
The Rose-Hulman food service people still are apparently a bit stung about my criticism of their vegetables several years back. Every time I'm in camp, Colts PR man Craig Kelley reminds me of just that fact. No need for any criticism of the lunch this year. The vegetable and chicken stir fry over brown rice, with a spicy light ginger sauce, was the best meal I've ever had at Colts camp. Crispy vegetables, and a thin but pungent sauce accented the chicken just right. Grade: A.
Nice, average salad, grape tomatoes, shredded carrots, cukes, topped with a basil tomato dressing. Tasty. But nothing special. Grade: B
Overall grade: A-. A very nice lunch on a broiler of a day in Southwest Indiana.
Camp Confidential
Make no mistake about it, the Colts have every intention of letting second-round pick Tony Ugoh win the starting left tackle job. That was evidenced throughout this morning's third Colts practice of the summer. Ugoh took all the repetitions with the first-team line, right next to left guard Ryan Lilja.
"He's off to a really good start," Lilja told me afterward. "And we're going to do everything in our power as players and coaches to help him get the job done."
What I saw out of Ugoh was an eager kid with quick feet who is a totally different body type than Tarik Glenn, the left tackle he's trying to replace. Both men are 6-foot-5, but while Glenn's weight fluctuated between 335 and 350, Ugoh looks more like a power forward. He's almost lean and angular. About 302 pounds. And not the power-pushing guy Glenn was in the running game. Often times at practice today, I noticed Ugoh talking to Lilja, seemingly asking questions to make sure he was doing the right thing. Lilja confirmed that for me afterward but said his questions didn't convey any sense of cluelessness; instead, the queries were more to clarify his exact job on certain calls.
The reason I think Ugoh will start opening day against the Saints? Manning told me that early in training camp he's going to be calling an awful lot of audibles and different checks at the line of scrimmage, just to get Ugoh and fellow rookie Gonzalez -- who has replaced Brandon Stokley as the slot receiver in all three-wide formations -- familiar with everything they'll hear and see during the regular season. You wouldn't do that with a guy you didn't trust could win the job.

The Art of Midwifery
Protocols [commonly] require mothers who are anticipating large babies to leave the bath [in a waterbirth]. Now there is a growing body of experience that suggests shoulder dystocia can be managed more easily in the pool. Canadian midwife Gloria Lemay has written a protocol for management of shoulder dystocia in the water. It appears that tight shoulders happen more often because of a practitioner or a mom trying to push before the baby fully rotates. There is no harm in waiting for a few contractions to allow baby to rotate, especially since the baby is not going to be taking a breath. Position changes in the water are so much easier to effect and the mother doesn't panic but remains calm. A quick switch to hands and knees or even to standing up with one foot on the edge of the pool if shoulders are really tight can help maneuver baby out.

According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, infants who have been starved of oxygen at birth may benefit from gentle cooling of their body temperature for their first 72 hours. Researchers conducted a randomized trial involving 325 babies who were less than 6 hours postpartum, had a gestational age of at least 36 weeks, and had suffered perinatal asphyxial encephalopathy. Roughly half of the infants received body cooling in addition to standard intensive care procedures; the remaining infants received intensive care alone.
While body cooling did not reduce the rate of death or disability associated with the asphyxia, it did appear to reduce the risk of cerebral palsy and improve neurological function in those infants to whom it was applied.
The full text of the study is available by subscription to the New England Journal of Medicine Online. The abstract can be read here: http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/abstract/361/14/1349

Managing Shoulder Dystocia
Following are some suggestions for dealing with shoulder dystocia:
First, don't overdiagnose. The rate of shoulder dystocia is 1.7% in babies over 8-1/2 lb. Shoulder dystocia occurs when the anterior shoulder of the baby lodges above the pelvic brim and won't enter the pelvis. Very slow delivery of the head, face and chin suggests shoulder dystocia but may not always lead to it. Note the time of delivery of the head. While it is true that complications tend to cluster, if you have experienced shoulder dystocia four times in your last 50 births you are probably overdiagnosing.
When you suspect shoulder dystocia, encourage the mother to push and be sure her legs are widely separated, drawn up and back, positioned as if she were in a squat. An assistant can apply suprapubic pressure, which may dislodge the shoulders. Watch for the neck! If the neck appears, the shoulder is not impacted.
Communicate. Tell the mother the baby's shoulders are stuck and that she must push hard to get the baby out. Tell her you are going to help her and be very clear about what you want her to do.
Changing the mother's position to hands and knees will deliver many babies at this point. If advance of the neck is not seen, slide one hand inside, along the mother's sacrum, and locate the posterior shoulder of the baby. The hand is up inside to the wrist at this point. Traction is made on the arm and shoulder [while] being careful to avoid the axilla, where pressure on the superficial brachial nerve plexus can cause partial or complete paralysis of the arm. If this is not successful, flex the arm with pressure on the antecubital fossa, inside the elbow, and pull it across the chest and out. The most severe shoulder dystocia babies who do not deliver progressively at this point can be worked loose by rotating the now delivered posterior shoulder and arm up under the pubic bone. The other shoulder comes out through the roomy curve of the sacrum.

Question of the Week Responses
Q: What is your best tip for shoulder dystocia?
— Midwifery Today E-News staff
A: One of the things I would like to contribute to the discussion of shoulder dystocia (SD) is the idea that SD is sometimes, often, an arrest of rotation. Help the baby finish the rotation that nature intended.
An arm may have been swept behind the back in labor after the baby had rotated from occiput posterior (OP) to occiput anterior (OA).
Please feel inside for the location of the shoulder girdle. If the shoulders are front to back, the likely [solution is] one of these: standing, Gaskin's followed by Running Start (if needed), McRoberts with suprapubic pressure or rotation by strongly guiding the posterior shoulder from the back towards the chest and into the oblique diameter.
But if the shoulders are in the oblique or transverse, suprapubic will not work. McRoberts may not work. Rotation of the shoulders will help bring them down. Work from behind the shoulders to be protective of the brachial plexus. Never stick a finger tip in the arm pit from the front; never draw the baby out without rotation, to avoid panic-driven pulling. Be calm. You can do this. You must do this.
FlipFLOP is an easy-to-remember series of actions: 1) Flip to hands and knees (Gaskin); 2) lift the leg in a running start position (almost as if for running a race); 3) rotate the posterior shoulder into the oblique diameter; and 4) bring out the posterior arm.
If the mom is on her hands and knees, start with Running Start and go get the arm. This works for most SD.
Occasionally, SD is a matter of size. Bringing out the posterior arm helps here. Rotating and pulling from the posterior axillary crease (PAC Pull) brings out the larger babies. We had a happy outcome with the PAC Pull for our Christmas baby in 2008. She was 11-1/2 lb through a 5 ft 1 in mother. We really underestimated her baby's size!
Occasionally, arms are locked in a rectangle across their chest. Unlock the arms; bring one out if you need to. Keep rotating the baby. Keep the spiral turning. Rotation is protective.
See a detailed description of FlipFLOP, at: http://spinningbabies.com/spinning-babies-and/resolving-shoulder-dystocia
— Gail Tully, CPM
A: In answer to your [question on] shoulder dystocia, the best tip is anticipation—practicing in your mind what you will do and what position you will need to move the laboring mother into. Have a spiritual connection with her; this will enhance her response when you need her to work quickly.
I have used the hands and knees position many times to unlock a shoulder. Even having the mom do a side-step will sometimes allow the baby to slide through. You must remember, though, to always check for a nuchal cord, because of compression.
Bottom line is: anticipate, and don't hesitate.

Think about It
The accountability sometimes feels overwhelming when shoulder dystocia happens out of the hospital. There is no one to call—no doctor on the floor, no neonatal intensive care team to come help with resuscitation, no extra nursing staff to lend assistance. It's just me and a frantic woman trying to push out a stuck baby. We have to get the baby out. We have to keep that baby from dying. Just us. If I don't know what to do and how to do it, that baby will die. I will be accountable.
It scares me that midwives are delivering babies at home who are inexperienced enough to be confident that "birth works" all the time, that all we need is faith and to let nature take its course. What I know for a fact is that I would have three dead babies in my career if I didn't know what to do with shoulder dystocia. I would have dead babies if I confidently assumed that all I'd have to do is get the woman on her hands and knees and the baby would come. These last two kids definitely did not come when mom was moved to hands/knees. McRoberts doesn't always work. Standing doesn't always work. Screw maneuver doesn't always work. Suprapubic pressure doesn't always work. Trying to deliver the posterior arm doesn't always work. Breaking the baby's clavicle isn't always possible. Even cutting a big episiotomy, a favorite technique of the medical profession, probably won't do a thing to help release most babies.
As far as I'm concerned, the key to delivering a baby with shoulder dystocia is to keep one's mind clear enough from panic and fear that you can direct the woman into various positions, try multiple techniques and never quit until that baby comes out. If you don't know the techniques, you have to learn them and review them often. A severe shoulder dystocia may not happen until a practitioner has delivered hundreds of babies. You can never get cocky and think you have the right technique or position to prevent shoulders from sticking. Sticky shoulders aren't all that uncommon—they'll come with just a trick or two. Real shoulder dystocia is different and deadly. Every midwife who delivers enough babies will get caught someday. I know of midwives who stopped doing midwifery after experiencing true shoulder dystocia. The fear and sense of helplessness became unshakable and polluted their ability to see birth as a normal process. The accountability became too much to cope with.
I cope with the aftermath of shoulder dystocia by trying hard to keep my boundaries clear. I didn't cause it to happen. I just happened to be the one there who had to deal with it. I do the best I can at any moment in time, which is all any of us can do. I know the various techniques and I use them all until the baby comes, and then I make sure I know how to resuscitate that baby. It's the birth that woman got; it's the birth that I got. Bad things happen sometimes and we have to live with them and move on, knowing that we do not have supernatural powers, that we're only human with limited ability to control life and death.

The Mid-Atlantic Conference on Birth and Primal Health
From the conference Web site:
What is the future of a world born by caesarean? This is the question we need to ask now that, thanks in particular to the work of Michael Stark, the c-section has become easier, faster, and safer than ever before. In this conference we will not only focus on technical advances, though…. We will also constantly make reference to recent scientific advances which suggest we should apply new criteria in order to evaluate practices within midwifery and obstetrics. For example, thanks to a large amount of data provided by developing disciplines as diverse as ethology, bacteriology, epidemiology and hormonology, it has recently been possible to confirm scientifically that…a human newborn baby needs his or her mother. After thousands of years of beliefs and rituals which have disturbed or prevented first mother-newborn interaction, modern science now has the power to reverse our deep-rooted conditioning.
We welcome all of you, participants from the five continents. We want to thank Prof. Garcia Hernandez and our friends in Las Palmas for suggesting the Canary Islands Convention Centre as a venue for this conference held under the auspices of the Goddess of Love…the Goddess born from the foam of the waves.
— Dr. Michel Odent, President, and Heloisa Lessa, Executive Secretary

MIAMI - Gov. Rick Scott wasted time and possibly a lot of money signing a law that he knew may be unenforceable.
He said so himself in a letter to the secretary of state released minutes after he signed it.
The new law prohibits state money and contracts from going to companies that also do business in Cuba and Syria.
Scott got a standing ovation from Cuban exile leaders who had pressed him to sign and support from an important South Florida voting block.
That is, until they found out about his letter that without federal action, this state law can't operate.
The law is set to take effect July 1. There is little doubt it will face legal challenge, and lots of taxpayer money will be spent on defending it.
While we support the concept of the law, we question the governor's judgment in allowing politics to trump good judgment.
That's our take on things. Let us know what you think.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- As baseball's new Mr. Moneybags, Ned Colletti gets mentioned when almost any free agent is discussed this offseason.
"There's a perception that we're in on a couple dozen starting pitchers, three dozen outfielders and infielders, 17, 18 catchers," the Los Angeles Dodgers general manager said.
"People like to have us in. I guess it doesn't hurt to have us in, even though we're not in. We may have to hire somebody next year just to tell everybody who we're not in on," he said.
As teams headed home from the winter meetings Thursday, the biggest free agents were still on the market. The availability of slugger Josh Hamilton and pitcher Zack Greinke held up decisions on other signings and possible trades involving on Rangers star Michael Young and the Mets' Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey.
The Yankees, quiet thus far, were pursuing former Boston star Kevin Youkilis and also met with the agent for Mark Reynolds.
With most clubs already packed up and leaving the sprawling, 2,881-room Opryland hotel, Philadelphia acquired outfielder Ben Revere from Minnesota for right-handers Vance Worley and Trevor May.
Hamilton could remain with Texas, and Seattle seemed to be interested. Greinke's options include staying with the Los Angeles Angels, moving up the coast to the Dodgers or signing with the Rangers.
Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said that after taking in information from other clubs and agents, it was time to return home and "cool your jets."
"There can be a domino affect," he said. "I think when clubs are focusing on a certain position, a certain need, there's options out there. And once one option goes away, then that changes the landscape of what a club would want to do. Everybody's got their ducks lined up in a row, and it's just a matter of how things fall. And there's timing involved."
The annual meeting wasn't much of a swap session. The Phillies-Twins deal was just the fourth trade over the four days.
Atlanta announced a one-year deal with outfielder Reed Johnson on Thursday, and Texas said reliever Koji Uehara had reached an agreement with Boston.
But the 25-foot wide dais with a podium backed by MLB logos was used just three times: Yankees general manager Brian Cashman discussed Alex Rodriguez's hip injury; Major League Baseball announced an auction benefiting Stand Up to Cancer; and the Mets talked about David Wright's $138 million, eight-year contract, which had been agreed to last week.
The Yankees have been quiet, watching as catcher Russell Martin agreed with Pittsburgh last week and backup third baseman Eric Chavez went to Arizona during the meetings.

Eighty-eight members of the House of Representatives fired off a letter Monday to postmaster general and CEO of the U.S. Postal Service Patrick Donahoe urging the agency not to eliminate Saturday delivery of mail, saying it would impede the ability of people who depend on mail-order pharmacies to receive their medications.
It's no secret that the retail pharmacy industry and pharmacy benefit managers don't always see eye-to-eye, with the latter being the main provider of mail-order pharmacy services in the country and often touting them as an alternative to going to the drug store, while the former emphasize the face-to-face interaction with pharmacists not usually possible with mail-order. But between the back-and-forth, millions of patients still depend on mail order pharmacy, and the cost effectiveness that mail-order pharmacies frequently promote themselves as offering could be at risk if they must use more expensive delivery methods.
Many patients don't have the option of going to pharmacies because of old age, disability or because they live in isolated, rural areas without convenient access to a pharmacy. In 2009, CVS Caremark delivered 50 million prescriptions through the mail, according to an op-ed by SVP mail pharmacy operations Kenneth Czarnecki that appeared in the Chicago Tribune in 2010. For many of those patients, particularly those living with chronic conditions and disease states that require precisely timed dosing, running out of medication and missing doses could have serious, long-term consequences.
As an alternative to shutting down Saturday delivery entirely, the representatives suggested exempting medications and allowing them to continue to be delivered then. Barring that, however, mail-order pharmacies would be forced to either make do with a five-day schedule or, the representatives wrote, use other, possibly more expensive delivery methods.
That could be a problem for a channel that has long promoted itself as a cheaper alternative to brick-and-mortar pharmacy retailers. In late 2012, specialty pharmacy patients - most of whom had conditions like HIV, cancer and autoimmune disorders - covered by Anthem Blue Cross started receiving letters from the insurer stating that their drugs would only be covered if they obtained them through CuraScript, Express Scripts' mail-order specialty pharmacy business. A spokesman for Anthem told Drug Store News at the time that the move was intended to cut costs, though specialty pharmacies that had treated the patients balked, saying it would threaten continuity of care. In addition, according to experts, missing doses of some drugs, such as those that treat conditions like HIV, can cause the virus to become resistant to them.

The River has been a strange disc to learn, but I'm starting to really like it. This afternoon I ripped it dead straight 420' on a tight 520' hole with a mild tailwind. I landed nicely on the fairway as other peoples' distance drivers stalled and faded off with the tailwind. It only looked about 380' to me, but when I walked up to my disc it was even with the short pin @420'. I was impressed that it carried like that, but I wondered if it was a bit of a fluke since I haven't tried to get that kind of D of the tee with my River before. Anyway it turned out that I had to play off for money and start on that same hole. I did the exact same throw for the exact same distance.
So not only is the River as long as my PDs, it's actually a little longer in calm or tailwind conditions. Strangely I've also been using it on all kinds of fairway driver shots and it doesn't act too differently thrown soft than it does when I mash it. It is definitely my least speed sensitive driver. I still don't feel like I really know this disc well and I'm sure it still has some surprises in store for me, but I'm digging it. I've never had a disc that slow go so far.

The Animal Agriculture Alliance recently kicked off its 12th annual Stakeholders Summit with a wide range of speakers, from online moms to the former Under-Secretary for USDA Food Safety Inspection Service.
While the speakers came from different backgrounds and had very different personalities, one theme resonated above all the rest. In the first presentation of the day, Joe Miller, General Counsel for Rose Acre Farms, stated about consumers: "they don't need to know us, we need to know them."
The theme of getting to know our true stakeholders, asking them what they want, and giving it to them is one that resonated during most presentations throughout the day.
Beyond the actual presentations, however, Summit became an excellent case study about just how much words matter. The presentations on May 1 were streamed live via the Internet. Individuals both "for" us and "against" us were able to see and hear each and every presentation.
Our speakers were aware of this, but I don't think anyone—myself included—expected the live streaming video to get the number of views it did. Nor did I expect quotes from certain presentations to become fodder on Facebook and Twitter, at least not to the extent that they did.
It's easy for me, as a communicator working for a national non-profit, to take the view that "all press is good press." I've been called a "firecracker," so when the activist groups began to "spam" our Twitter feed, taking quotes out of context and attacking our speakers, I was indifferent.
Well, truth be told, I was pleased. In my mind, if the activists help generate buzz about the very important issues being discussed, that means I can continue to talk about them and educate consumers and media in larger and larger forums.
That being said, I recognize not everyone shares this opinion. Specifically, my Midwestern heart was hurting for our Joe Miller as he was called out in the very public social media platform: Twitter.
To set the record straight, Mr. Miller was discussing farm protection, or as it is more commonly and "catchily" known: "ag gag." Mr. Miller was discussing undercover videos and what they're used for, the actual text of the legislative measures being discussed in various states, and the legal arguments for and against these measures.
As an attorney, Mr. Miller is perhaps better equipped to lead this discussion than anyone else. The problem came, however, when Mr. Miller was discussing constitutionally protected property rights (a subject, as a recent law graduate myself, that still makes me shudder).
Mr. Miller stated that, "no one has a right to know where their food comes from." He immediately stated, for clarification purposes, that he was discussing property rights, in legal terms, but his quote was instantly taken out of context and misrepresented far and wide.
I often struggle with helping industry members understand that the media, and in particular, social media, are not the enemy. This struggle is exponentially increased, however, when quotes are taken out of context and blasted around social media.
People feel criticized and attacked, and naturally, that puts them on alert. However, this mentality is a dangerous one for the industry to continue to adopt. Nearly everyone in the ag industry recognizes that consumers want to know where their food is coming from, and often, the best forums for reaching a large number of consumers and answering their questions are newspapers, radio, or television.
Collectively, as an industry, we have to be willing to seize opportunities to comment on stories and correct misinformation, if they are offered. Just because we might be asked the "hard" questions doesn't mean that those questions are wrong. More crucially, it doesn't mean the media is against us.
I sincerely hope our Summit didn't force Mr. Miller to take the Alliance off the Christmas card list, because his points were well reasoned, intelligent and deliberate. Moreover, the topic he discussed is crucially important.
One last thought: sometimes the beauty of social media is that it moves so fast that thirty minutes later, the gang is latched onto another topic.

CHILDREN in Abingdon will soon be learning how to forage for fruit and create their own bug hotel.
It is all thanks to a huge community effort to build a "forest school" garden in Caldecott Primary School field.
The Abingdon Carbon Cutters (ACC) and the Abingdon Green Gym began the project in January, and on Saturday after it was delayed by snow and flooding, the final planting was finished.
ACC project manager and retired teacher Marion Owen, 56, said: "The idea is to improve the environment and teach children to forage and pick edible berries and use fruit from the orchard in cooking."
The outdoor learning environment will be used by the primary school and the South Abingdon Children's Centre next door.
Caldecott teacher Alison Shenton said: "The forest school ethos encourages opportunities for learning outdoors.
"It is usually in a woodland environment for initiating learning, physical development, counteracting obesity, caring for the natural environment and building confidence and self-esteem.
"It is thought that some behavioural problems occur as a result of children spending less time outdoors."
An orchard will be planted with apple, pear, plum and cherry trees.
The fruit can then be used in cookery sessions such as the ones ACC runs at the children's centre.

Sugar Cookie Bars for St Patty's Day
Happy St Patrick's Day! Hope everyone is enjoying the day and staying safe!
I wasn't going to bake anything for St Patty's day this year. But then I remembered these shamrock sprinkles. Our small grocery store always has the huge tubs of sprinkles on clearance after holidays. The tub holds probably 4 cups of sprinkles. I'll never in a million years go through 4 cups of sprinkles, but with a price tag of $1, I had to get them last year after St Patty's Day. (I also bought a tub of hot pink ones after Valentine's Day this year for $1).
Since it was about 9:30 last night when I decided to make something, I wanted a simple recipe that I knew would be delicious. I instantly remembered these bars from last year. They were quite the craze for a while. They showed up in a variety of blogs all across the internet.
I made a 1/2 batch this year in a 9×13 pan (recipe below is for a full batch). They were just as good as I remember. If you didn't make these last year, definitely make them soon! By the way, I don't think I've ever posted the same recipe twice on my blog until now. But these are seriously so easy and delicious. I've probably made them 4 times in the last year which is definitely saying a lot since I rarely make a recipe more than once.

Connolly Announces County to Explore Purchase of Foreclosed Properties for Workforce Housing

Chairman Connolly Announces County to Explore Purchase of Foreclosed Properties for Workforce Housing
Support for Additional Enhanced Code Enforcement Funding also Announced
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly announced tonight in his fifth annual State of the County address that the county will explore using its Penny for Affordable Housing program to purchase homes in foreclosure for resale at affordable rates as workforce housing.
"The county has not considered the outright purchasing of houses in the past because the market was so high, but the recent increase in foreclosures presents us with an opportunity to help bring stability to working families and to neighborhoods beset with empty houses," Connolly said.
Fairfax County, like other communities across the region and the nation, is experiencing an increase in foreclosures due to the sharp decline in the housing market coupled with the subprime mortgage crisis in the national economy. Two years ago, Fairfax County had 347 houses in foreclosure. Last year, that figure was 4,527, and it is expected to pass 5,000 in the current year. In January 2008, there were 1,330 houses in foreclosure compared to 74 during the same month last year.
"Clearly taking a home out of foreclosure would help restore stability to a neighborhood and restore confidence in the local real estate market," Connolly said. "It also would allow the county to open these houses to working families for purchase at an affordable rate. Workforce housing is in great demand but short in supply."
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted in 2005 to dedicate the value of one penny on the real estate tax rate for the preservation of affordable housing. Under Connolly's leadership, the board established the goal of preserving 1,000 units during its four-year term that otherwise would have been lost to market conditions. Since creating the Penny for Affordable Housing program, Fairfax County has helped preserve more than 2,200 units.
In addition to this new initiative, Connolly also announced in his annual address that he will push for the Board of Supervisors to support additional staffing and resources for the county's successful Enhanced Code Enforcement Strike Teams. The board created two Strike Teams, enlisting personnel from 19 county agencies, in July 2007 to address unsafe and overcrowded houses.
"We identified a troubling phenomenon in which a small number of property owners were willfully violating local zoning and safety laws by creating unsafe boarding houses," Connolly said. "Although there are more investments to make, we are turning the tide, and we will continue to pursue this endeavor until we have fully met our goals of stable, safe residential communities.
"Since the Strike Teams were put into action, we have issued more than 4,000 violations at 218 properties. We have closed more than 60 cases involving boarding houses or other code violations, another 75 cases have been referred for criminal or civil prosecution, and more than 180 cases are still under investigation," he added.
Connolly also addressed critical investments in transportation, the environment and education during his address, which was broadcast live on Channel 16. The address will replay Fridays and Sundays at 5:30 p.m. and Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. on Channel 16. It also will be available for viewing anytime on Video on Demand.

McGowan goes 1-2-3 in first outing since last year
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Right-hander Dustin McGowan took another big step forward in his rehab by tossing one scoreless inning in Tuesday's 6-3 win against the Pirates.
Toronto's right-hander made his first appearance against Major Leaguers in more than a year, inducing two weak popups and a fly ball to right field while throwing eight of his 14 pitches for strikes.
"It was just good to be back out there and it was a lot of fun today," said McGowan, whose velocity was between 91-92 mph. "Leading up to it, I was pretty excited, but once you get out there, you know what the task at hand is, so you calm down and get going again."
McGowan, who has undergone multiple shoulder surgeries, is attempting yet another comeback. But unlike the past few times, he now has his sights set on becoming a reliever. The belief last year was that McGowan was better suited for a starting role because of the amount of time it afforded for him to recover between outings.
The club's stance changed this spring, and at least for now, it's a welcome change of pace for McGowan. As a reliever, McGowan is able to focus on improving the quality of his stuff as opposed to worrying about building up endurance.
"I think it's going to be better for recovery time," McGowan said. "Hopefully it gets to where it's just normal, have normal soreness after you throw. Honestly, I think right now, if I was to start, I'd need 15 days to recover after I start. So I think this is the path to go right now."
McGowan has already been ruled out as a candidate to make the 25-man roster and will begin the year on the disabled list. Beyond that, there is no set plan, but his future likely will become more clear in the final days of Spring Training.

text: WVSU dance event to encourage, educate about organ donation By Lori Kersey November 1, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- If you're interested in organ donation and dance, an event at West Virginia State University on Monday has what you're looking for.The West Virginia Taskforce for the Center for Organ Recovery and Education is teaming up with West Virginia State University to bring in Step Afrika!, an internationally known dance troupe.As a part of the event, members of the local group will present a short video about organ donation and give people an opportunity to sign up to become a donor."I had a kidney transplant in August of 2007," said Yvonne Moore, chairwoman of the CORE task force. "It's why I'm alive today."Moore said her group aims to dispel some of the myths surrounding organ donation -- myths such as, if doctors know you're an organ donor they won't try to save you, and if you donate your organs your family cannot have an open-casket funeral for you.Neither is true, she said."Many people think, 'I'm too old, I'm too old,'" Moore said. "That's not true, but you do have to be over 18."People younger than 18 must have permission from a parent, she said.The task force also aims to persuade more people to become organ donors. Around 120,000 people in the United States are waiting for organs or tissues.The group especially wants to encourage ethnic minorities to become donors, she said. That's because, nationally, more people in ethnic communities receive organs than give them, she said. "It's a matter of education and dispelling the many myths around organ donation," Moore said.Organ donation is something that most people don't think about until it affects them or their family members, she said.When a person is near death in a hospital, their family members may not be in the best state of mind to make a decision about organ donation, Moore said."[That] is a very stressful time, and families are not in a good state to make the decision," Moore said. "This way, you're making your own decision."CORE is teaming up with churches around the country this month for Donor Sabbath, which takes place Nov. 15-17. The churches will have bulletin inserts with an emphasis on organ donation. All major religions allow organ donation, she said. Another common wrong assumption is that the doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses does not allow for organ donation, she said. The church teaches against blood transfusion but not organ donation, she said.People who wish to sign up to be an organ donor will be asked for their driver's license number, their birth date and the last four digits of their Social Security number, she said.The Step Afrika! performance is free for students and faculty with an ID and $10 for the general public.The event will take place at 7 p.m. Monday in the auditorium of Ferrell Hall. For information, call the WVSU Office of Student Activities at 304-766-3288.Reach Lori Kersey at email@example.com or 304-348-1240.

Dental Hygiene
Dental School
How wise is it to get a cleaning from a dental school? I am afraid to go to the dentist because I am afraid that the tools that are used to clean my mouth are not properly disinfected? I decided to go to a university dental clinic, but I noticed that clinic was next to the infectious disease unit. I am so afraid of infectious disease and other problems due to unclean tools. I actually know of a hygienist that skips putting tools in the autoclave and just swipes the tools with alcohol when she is in a hurry.
It is law that all instruments must be sterilized. If you go to a private dentist, I would ask them ahead of time to not open the package of instruments until you are sitting in the chair. There should be some sort of indication (sterilization tape that stripes turn brown once sterilized) on the outside of the package to verify sterilization has occurred.
I believe dental schools would be very safe to go to as they follow the same procedures and are more scrutinized. If you know of someone who is not following this LAW, I would report them to your State Dental Board. This can be done anonymously.

I'm not a fan of book "leveling" through the use of Lexile measures — in other words, restricting book choice by students based on reading test results.
Here are my choices for The Best Posts & Articles About Why Book "Leveling" Is A Bad Idea:
I wrote a post in this blog that generated some great comments, Concerns About Book "Leveling."
The BC Teacher‐Librarians' Association has published Book Leveling and School Library Collections.
Clearly the best piece out there on this topic is Guess My Lexile by Donalyn Miller, who also includes an excellent list of other resources.
Readability Scores on Kids' Books Are Bogus: Most books come with an indication of how hard they are, and those estimates are mostly wrong is from the Smithsonian Magazine.
Second Quote Of The Day: "Text Levels– Tool or Trouble?"
Quote Of The Day: A Problem With Book "Leveling"
Three Myths About "Reading Levels" is an excellent article appearing in Psychology Today.

London Fashion Week Street Style F/W 2012
There's no need to wait for April showers to don this winning coat. Appropriately named for its iconic silhouette, this double-breasted classic will finish off skinny jeans, pull together a skirt ensemble, and pop against both dark and brights. The designers thought of every detail — a notch collar, buckle-tab cuffs, a waist-nipping tie — and we're grateful for each one. $298, J.Crew.
The ultimate blank palette, this simple skirt cries for a silky printed blouse, a fabulous pair of heels, and killer jewelry. We'd pair it with peep-toe, patent leather pumps, a stack of bracelets, and a statement necklace. Voila! $150, Shopbop.

So I recieved my Servo driver from adafruit about one week ago and I have been trying to get it to work (using this tutorial: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-16-c ... i/overview).
But everytime I do "sudo i2cdetect -y 1" it wont show up...
So I tryed:
- "sudo i2cdetect -y 0"
- Checking for cold solder joints
- Powering the board with 2 AA batteries insted of the 3.3volt rail on the raspberry itself
- Checking the setup, over and over again
I have checked:
to make sure I hooked it up correctly. But I was still unable to get it to work.
Am I just underpowering the board? (The green light is lit) or whats the problem?

LeMahieu back playing in his home state
DETROIT -- Rockies infielder DJ LeMahieu remains a well-known baseball name in the state of Michigan.
Twice while playing for Birmingham Brother Rice High School, LeMahieu was named the Louisville Slugger Player of the Year for Michigan.
He has several supporters in attendance for the series against the Tigers, including his high school coach, Bob Riker.
It's not LeMahieu's first time at Comerica Park as a player. In 2012, when the Rockies visited, LeMahieu was on the club but his spot was tenuous. As the 26-year-old infielder remembers, he wasn't even sure he'd be on the trip to Detroit until right before, and he didn't play that series. He has also attended games as a fan at Comerica Park while living in nearby Bloomfield Hills for five years.
"I'm getting a lot of opportunity this year," LeMahieu said Saturday. "It's cool to really be a part of it this time."
LeMahieu said teammates occasionally ask him for restaurant recommendations. He went to Toast for breakfast Saturday in the suburb where he attended high school.

Amusingly, we are expected to gift wrap things if asked to do so, during the "holiday season", and the wrap we have been given to use is plain brown paper with a choice of Red, Navy or green ribbon. Which seems like a deterrent as much as it seems like an annoyance.
Anyway, Thanksgiving is nearly over on my coast, and I expect it is about over in all the other areas. But I would still like to hear what you all are thankful for, whether you are American or cynical or mushy or silly or even drunk. Especially if you are Drunk.
I am thankful for the Cult, to begin with. It is not my number one thing I am thankful for, but I am thankful for it. For the people that make it what it is, and for the books I have read because of it and the books I read that lead me to it. For the people that I have bonded with that have changed me and for the good times I have had here when other good times and things were unavailable, and when good times were plenty and I could share them here, I am thankful for that too even more.
I am glad for the age I live in, and for the weirdness of it. I had no choice of when I would come in this world and I will likely have little choice when I leave, but I am glad that I am here during the time that I am here in the beginning of the age that I am here in where the limits of information are being pressed to their fullest to discover what they may become.
I am grateful for the food in my belly and the drink I may raise!
I am grateful for the feet I will walk on tomorrow and the smile I will feel upon my face when it occurs.
I am happy for the love I have made and the love I will make. I look forward so much to the love I will make. I am pleased for this life that is chaos and happy for these words I am typing.
And you?

Nova starts throwing program, misses playing
NEW YORK -- Ivan Nova is only in the early stages of his program to return from Tommy John surgery, now entering his second week of throwing on flat ground, but just being allowed to have a ball in his hand has proven to be a thrill for the Yankees hurler.
"It's really awesome to be throwing a baseball again," Nova said on Wednesday. "For me, I was worried about it, how it was going to be. Would I have any pain, or anything like that. It felt a little weird in the beginning. Once you start throwing and getting more confident, you start feeling really good."
Nova made four starts for the Yankees before having the surgery performed on April 29. He is currently making 25 tosses at a distance of 60 feet, doing so again on Wednesday, and said that he plans to spend his offseason at the Yankees' complex in Tampa, Fla., instead of returning to the Dominican Republic so he can be under the watch of the club's training staff.
Tommy John surgery generally requires 12 to 18 months of recovery time. Nova said that he has not asked about the specifics of his timetable because he recognizes there is a long process ahead, but he is very much looking forward to getting back on a mound.
"It has been tough, missing playing," Nova said. "After the season, you take like two or three months off. It's not like that. I feel really bad. I wish I could be out there playing."
Nova said that he generally gets to Yankee Stadium early in the day and completes his workouts before his teammates arrive, not wanting to be in the way for their game preparation. He often leaves before first pitch and finds it difficult to watch the games on television.
"Watching games on TV -- sometimes, I don't even watch them," Nova said. "That's why you guys don't see me here a lot; as soon as I finish, I go home. It's not easy for me to be here. ... That's all I think about now. That's what I love to do, play baseball."
There is at least one small positive for Nova. The rehab from surgery has allowed him to spend more time in the kitchen, where he has refined his culinary skills -- mostly with meals like rice, beans and chicken.
"I've got like three different plates that I can make for my wife," Nova said, with a laugh.

No wonder Walmart comps are increasing. Check out the latest monthly report from the ad tracking provider Market Track.
The month saw drop in the number of circulars released to the market by the majority of retailers. However, interestingly we saw flyers increasing pages compared with last year for most of the retailers in the year over year comparison.
Walmart had a significant increase in both the number of circulars as well as number of pages when compared with same time last year.
Staples, Kmart and Best Buy were the other retailers witnessing an increase in both flyer circulation as well as page counts per flyer. However, the Best Buy increase was marginal when compared with others.
Target was also among the retailers who increased the number of circulars, though they did not increase page counts.
JC Penney continues to decrease promotional activity overall, releasing fewer flyers, however, they increased page counts. Kroger, Sears, Walgreens and CVS followed the same trend, with fewer circulars that had more pages.
It's important to note a number of factors should be considered when examining the number of inserts and pages retailers send into the marketplace. Market Track's granular level of data reflects regional versioning and market specific differences. This is accomplished through an extensive collections process, including physically obtaining the ads from the various markets in which they are distributed. In the instance that retailers send additional circulars to a limited number of markets, Market Track's information reflects these nuances through numbers with decimals (for average number of inserts per market) and odd numbers (for average number of pages).
About Market Track:
Market Track is a market intelligence firm dedicated to increasing customers' returns on their promotional investments. Through innovative technology and marketplace expertise, they monitor and analyze over 200 U.S. and Canadian markets for every channel of trade in order provide retailers and manufacturers with superior tools to monitor promotional activity, support dynamic decision making and turn information into market intelligence.

I tried "gem install execjs". No change. I tried reinstalling Ruby, then Rails. No change. What could I have possibly done? Is it really as fragile as it seems or did I just make a terrible mistake?
Man, Rails is freakin' frustrating!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:
I gave up last night and went to sleep. After this morning's boot it seems to work. :?
I thought Windows had the market on random issues. :lol:
I know how frustration can mount when you are trying to get something done and the software seems to fight with you. I am trying to teach myself to take a Zen approach; relax and carefully examine the problem. The page full of information is a bit overwhelming.But if you take a moment and read the error message, it appears there is a Javascript file missing. The one referenced at line 47 of W:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.2/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/execjs-1.2.11/lib/execjs/runtimes.rb
Ruby is not to blameRails is not to blameApparently, the execjs is the sourcr of the problem.
I'm not so much into the Zen approach, I'd rather give it a virtual pistol-whipping and see if it complies.
That's what I was thinking as well but the Javascript file was there, it just refused to find it. :shrug:
It's working as it should after a reboot though. I just wish that I could explain why it happened so I can prevent it in the future.
Thank you for the reply.
I should add that this isn't my only frustration with Rails so far. I'm just used to the ease of ASP.NET MVC and Visual Studio and having things pretty much handed to you. Basically, I'm out of shape.
You need a JS runtime for your system. I'm not sure why it would work after a reboot, but, the fix is to install one of the runtimes listed at: [URL="https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs"]https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs
gem install therubyracer
That's just it. It is there. It's always been there. It just decided to not work for some reason. :nono:
I did try that about 300 times but ...
gem install therubyracer fails. Every time. Even after the reboot. I don't care because it's working. Thanks for the assistance.
I wish there were some consistency. The random and intermittent stuff is frustrating.
Rails on Windows has some issues. If you have a way to work on some type of *nix system it makes life a whole lot easier.
I think you've nailed the issue at hand. Unfortunately my Mac is broken and I've not got enough room on my hard drives in the windows machine to install *NIX.
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
