The Art of Midwifery
I believe in midwifery and in women. I believe that when each community abounds with truth and respect, women will be opened up to the prospect of changing the way that they bring their children into the world and the way that they are treated during this rich and empowering time of their lives. I believe that by teaching apprentices this way of caring for women, we can have a very powerful impact on our world. This is why I love apprentices.

Do You Really Want an Apprenticeship?
Over the past 15 years I have shared my calling to midwifery with over 30 different women, as apprentices. Some have attended one birth with me only to realize that midwifery was not their heart's call. Others have attended dozens of births and are still serving expectant families in numerous ways. I have learned from each apprenticeship: how to teach better, how to interact better, how to communicate more clearly. Even the apprenticeships that ended in very negative ways taught me how to teach the next apprentice better.
I have found several areas not related to academia that I believe are crucial to the relationship between midwife and apprentice. Every midwife should seek academic wisdom, in order to serve her clients to the best of her abilities. Twenty years ago the options in directed studies were few and restrictive. Now many options are available to help the apprentice round out her book knowledge.
Those who are seeking an apprenticeship need to remember that apprenticeships of the past were usually financed by parents. The apprentice worked very hard, usually for several years, to learn the vocation of the mentor. The mentor was not obligated to take on an apprentice and usually the position was in demand.
Apprentices need to make themselves worthy of the position, developing skills, studying, gathering equipment and being ready to learn to serve the midwife's clients and the midwife. In addition, they should expect to be willing to communicate their desires, needs, limitations, skills and, especially, birth philosophies. If apprenticeships increase the midwife's workload they will likely be few and far between. Midwives usually are already heavily burdened by the needs of the expectant mothers they serve, as well as their own families; taking on an apprentice is a gift and should be recognized as such by that apprentice.
For midwives who are considering apprenticing as a way to pass on what they were given, I recommend a few things that may help prevent some of the mistakes I made:
I share this information with a heart that desires that midwifery not only grow but thrive once again in our country, for us and for the sake of our granddaughters. I wish for all midwives-to-be to find a midwife willing to share what she has been given. I wish for all midwives to find apprentices who will assist their practice and clients.

Research to Remember
Two studies, involving a total of 130 women, looked at whether the use of creams to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy was effective. Both found that they were.
Application of Trofolastin cream (Centella asiatica extract, alpha tocopherol and collagen-elastin hydrolysates) appeared to help prevent the development of stretch marks in pregnancy in some women. Verum ointment (tocopherol, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, elastin and menthol) was found to possibly be helpful, but because the trial used no placebo, it may actually have shown the benefit of massage alone.

Products for Birth Professionals
The North American Registry of Midwives (NARM), in its 2006 Annual Report, showed an increase of more than 25% in midwives taking the written exam. Since 2002, the number had hovered around 135. In 2006, 174 people sat for the written exam.

Question of the Week Responses
Q: I had a primipara in pre-labour. The baby's heartbeat showed spikes. In 16 hours of slow labour it became dips. We then moved to Hospital where the obstetrician ruptured the membranes, finding stained amniotic fluid. Dilation decreased from 7 cm to 5 cm. The mom was given a c-section.
I agreed with his decision as I was worried from much earlier. Baby was 40 weeks gestation and weighed 2680 g (5.9 lb). He appeared quite angry at first, on the verge of fetal distress, but slowly calmed down to normal breathing.
My question is: Could the spikes becoming dips, could they be due to just worry? My worry, worrying the mum and then the baby?
— Françoise Bardes
A: I think, in general, a rapid fetal heart rate should be taken as a sign of a possible problem. A "spiking" or rapid heart rate (tachycardia) may indicate that the baby is sick or is having trouble getting enough blood flow or the correct oxygenation through the placental circulation. Our heart rates react quickly to such forms of physiological stress. (You probably have noticed that your heart speeds up when you run up the stairs.) Babies in the womb are even more sensitive and their heart rates will rise under even gentle stress such as normal fetal movements. If the accelerations are the result of stress, the baby's oxygen reserves will start to become depleted and the heart rate "spikes" will eventually become dips (decelerations). If the stress still continues, the heart rate decelerations will begin to spike again. This "late tachycardia" can be a sign of a very severe problem.
In this case though, the baby was born before severe fetal distress developed. The meconium in the water may have been another sign that the baby was developing problems, or the meconium may have been passed before labor began.
I don't think that your worry could have affected the baby's heart rate. I think some evidence shows that severe maternal anxiety can trigger a more rapid-than-usual fetal heart rate as a response to maternal adrenaline. (Of course, in that case, the woman herself will have a rapid heart rate and will show signs of anxiety). I can't think of any way that ordinary worry could cause the fetal heart rate to have "spikes" and then "dips."
I wonder if there were some mild problems in this pregnancy, though. Before this woman reached 40 weeks, I might have become concerned about the small size of the baby, and I might have wondered if the placenta wasn't functioning correctly. In some ethnic groups, a 5.9 pound baby is normal, but in others a baby of this size might be considered growth-restricted. If so, a baby who is growth-restricted might be at higher risk of developing fetal distress in labor. I like to see babies grow appropriately during pregnancy and I'm always a bit concerned if my exam shows the baby is smaller than expected.
Anyway, this baby was born safely by cesarean section. You observed the signs that he needed help in labor and you brought him to hospital. Good job!
— Gail Hart
A: I do not think that your worrying influenced the health of this baby. I think that your decision to transport was timely and your concern was correct. Tachycardia can be an early sign of fetal distress while the baby can still compensate, while the dips are signs that the baby is losing the ability to compensate for the stress that labor is causing.
The fact that the baby was on the small side for gestational age may have been a sign that the placenta was not functioning as well as it could have, and labor may have been more than that baby could tolerate. I have seen tachycardia from very excited or worried mothers, but that resolves as everyone settles into labor. I would also add that fetal heart tone variability is very important, as well, in demonstrating fetal health.

Dear Friends,
As you know, the state of Iowa was charging me with practicing medicine without a license, a felony. My court date was set for August 20 but on August 17 the state made an offer, which I accepted.
Here is a break down:
The good: No jail! If I follow the rules of my probation for one year all charges against me will be expunged. The charge was considered a "serious misdemeanor."
The bad: One year probation, $315 in fines, $100 court costs and $300 probation fee (so far). Not bad fees, but they are compounded by my inability to earn a living. An added surprise was 25 hours community service (not a part of the original deal). I will look at it as an opportunity to expand my horizons and work toward empowering women through birth.
The ugly: I was forced to sign a plea of guilty to practicing medicine without a license. I feel nauseous to even write this. You know and I know that midwifery is NOT the practice of medicine and I will yell it from the rooftops forever!
Please forgive me for signing those papers. If you had seen my family when they made the offer - the looks on their faces - you would surely understand. A friend who has been through it herself counseled "THEY have all the power; you are a mere speck. A flea on the back of the elephant. You can fight them and destroy your life because it will take herculean stamina and financial resources AND you will undoubtedly lose."
I hope women will continue to choose homebirths, lay midwives will attend them and apprentices will wait in line to assist at these incredible events! Please decriminalize midwifery in Iowa! Or at least recognize the Certified Professional Midwife.
What does my future hold? Time will tell. I continue attending births as a certified doula. I dream of combining my love of dance and women to teach some pregnancy belly dance classes.
Thank you so very much for all your support. I and my family have been humbled. You are all awesome.
Please never give up!

The study aims to monitor the progression of symptoms and signs of those affected by JHD using modified UHDRS scales of motor and function (functional assessment, TFC). This will provide some basic data to analyse the usefulness of the proposed rating scales. Specifically, the initial aim is to assess these rating scales using an iterative process.
There may be significant delays in diagnosis of JHD especially if the young person presents with behavioural problems. Caregivers will be asked questions to capture the number of contacts with professionals in the time between onset of concerns about the young person and the confirmation of diagnosis.
Aim is to monitor the progression of symptoms and signs of those affected by JHD using modified UHDRS scales of motor and function (functional assessment, TFC). This will provide some basic data to analyse the usefulness of the proposed rating scales.

JHD cases
All ages included, but must have an HD age of onset 25 or below
Detailed Description:
Juvenile Huntington's disease (JHD), defined as motor symptom onset before 21 years of age, has been recognised as being at one end of the phenotypic spectrum of HD. In many studies the proportion of cases meeting this definition has varied, but it is usually less than 10% and more probably 5%.
At present, no treatment is available which will alter the natural history of the condition; however, there is considerable research activity being undertaken to identify novel treatments. Any new disease-modifying treatment will have to be evaluated in a clinical trial with a predetermined outcome measure. Given the relatively slow rate of progression of HD, such a trial may have to last several years and as a consequence be less attractive from a commercial perspective. Patients with JHD have more extensive pathology but are frequently excluded from clinical trials because of the differing phenotype; this study will assess the feasibility of using this rating scale; if it or a further modification can be used and is sensitive to disease progression over relatively short time periods, then it is likely to have a significant impact on study trial design and cost.
Given the rarity of JHD, wide collaboration of scientists, clinicians and families affected by JHD internationally is important. As might be expected, the pathology in JHD is more widespread. Therefore, we need the ability to assess treatments, which alter the natural history on this subgroup of patients.

A sneaky little sucker punch.Ha! Fuller let her guard down. Get her!The year's final blow came in the form of an exploding washing machine in the only part of the basement that hadn't already experienced some sort of outrageously messy water issue during the past several months.I couldn't really get mad about it because, well, this is going to sound stupid, but I kind of view the situation as divine intervention. It's hard to explain without potentially offending someone, but I have this odd relationship with God.Basically, my God has a sense of humor and never fails to ensure that I'm provided with just enough adventure in my life to keep me flush with material to write about. At the same time, I see Him as something of a frustrated parent, one who glances down at my basement, sees that the mess has gotten thoroughly out of control, recognizes that I'm a little too comfortable with that mess, and takes gentle action to spur me forward.I deserved the exploding washer. Nothing less would've gotten me to tackle that long neglected part of the basement.Eighteen soggy 50-gallon trash bags later, I reached a state of giddiness that compelled me to take on the fruit cellar, even though it had stayed dry. I've never heard of anyone huffing Clorox, but the fumes I'd been breathing were clearly affecting my brain. From there I took on a wall of cabinets that hadn't been emptied (or likely even opened) for years. By the time I was finished, the basement was looking almost sparse and the trash men were likely wishing I'd put a for-sale sign in the yard. But I was elated. The basement was clean!The happiness lasted only until it occurred to me that I now had no way to wash clothes. Holding hands with that thought was the realization that in order to get a new washing machine in, I'd have to be able to get the old one out.And the only way for that to happen was through the garage. Which was worlds messier than the basement had been.A bit more divine intervention.And a few dozen more trash bags.I was lucky enough to have some wonderful friends, Cat and Dan Pleska, who not only gave me an extra washer they had, but delivered and installed it, so I'm back in business again.Able to start off the new year unhampered by the final blow from the last.Reach Karin Fuller at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Having Seizures in my Sleep
I was diagnosed with PENS about 7 years ago. They went away after about 6 months. About 8 months ago I had some seizures and I stopped breathing. I was not placed on medication then.
The thinking was it was PENS again. I have recently had some seizures while sleeping. My husband tells be about them when I wake up later. I have had 2 at work in the last 3 weeks Could something else be going on this time? In the last 8 months I have probably had 15 to 20 all together. I`m reluctant to go to the doctor because I`m thinking I`ll just be told it is PENS, but I didn`t think PENS occurred while a person was sleeping. I`d appreciate your help.

Mila Kunis in Interview Magazine
Mila Kunis Talks to Her Oz Costar James Franco For Interview Magazine
Mila Kunis Talks to Her Oz Costar James Franco For Interview Magazine
Mila Kunis covers the August issue of Interview, which will be on newsstands July 24. She spoke with pal James Franco during a particularly busy work period. She wrapped up a promotional tour for Ted, and just started chatting up her and James's Oz: The Great and Powerful. In fact, Mila and Michelle Williams went to Comic-Con to chat up their new adaptation of the Wizard of Oz tale. Mila also spent time this Summer on the set of Guillaume Canet's new thriller, Blood Ties. Career was the focus of Mila and James's discussion, and she talked about the perks of being picky, Hollywood pressures, and her goals. Here are highlights from Mila Kunis in Interview:
- On being able to be picky about her work: "Honestly, after doing a TV show [That '70s Show] for eight years and a cartoon [Family Guy] for more than a decade, you are, financially speaking, in a very lucky position where you don't have to work for the sake of working. And I decided to take advantage of that. I don't live lavishly, so it's not like I have 20 assistants and travel privately and shop every day. I actually live a very mediocre lifestyle. So I decided to step back and do things not just for the sake of doing them, but because I believe in them and I want to do them."
- On her goal for five years from now: "Listen, in five years I do hope to have a family, and, you know, who knows? I think in this industry people have such a short shelf life, truly, that I don't know what I'm going to be in five years in regards to acting. I mean, I'd love to produce. I can't form a sentence or write an email, so I know I'm definitely not going to go and become a writer, but I would love to explore other facets of this industry, for sure."
- On dealing with the pressures of Hollywood: "To be honest, I don't deal with it well. I can't tell you that I'm like, 'Oh, I'm so great at dealing with it. It's in one ear and out the other!' That would be complete and utter bullsh*t. But I take it for what it's worth. Sometimes I let it get to me — I have internal dialogues with myself all day long."

Last season, the must-have product on every beauty editor's desk was BB cream—a high-octane tinted moisturizer with primer and antiaging serum as part of its formula. Now, we've gotten word that CC Cream (aka color or complexion correction cream), is the latest beauty wonderkid, with brands like Chanel and Olay releasing their own versions of the product. Like its predecessor, CC cream was popularized in Asia and is an all-in-one makeup and skincare formula packed with SPF, moisturizer, and anti-aging properties.
We sent two of our most intrepid reporters—err, my mom and a friend on vacation—to Hong Kong and Seoul to get the lowdown. But after visiting Chanel counters and beauty boutiques, both were told that CC creams are still an elusive find. That's why we went straight to the source. We asked two skincare pros with insider access in Asia to tell us what makes CC cream so special.
Even More Coverage
Unlike semi-sheer BB cream formulations, "CC creams give more full, foundation- like coverage but feel like you're wearing something very light," says Wei Beauty founder Wei Brian, who is releasing her own CC cream this month. "You can cover discoloration, pimples, age spots or sallow skin but it feels like you're not wearing makeup, even though you're correcting unevenness of the complexion." Since the creams are buildable, you can layer on as much or as little pigment as you want.
Antiaging Benefits with a Focus on Skin Brightening
While BB creams include anti-aging ingredients for prevention and maintenance, CC creams focus on repairing existing issues—whether that means tending to crow's feet or evening out skin tone. "Instead of general anti-aging, it's a more targeted treatment," says Brian. CC Creams might include natural brighteners like licorice or vitamin C, or antioxidants to soften fine lines.
Picking a BB vs. CC Cream
"A tinted moisturizer or BB cream is great for everyday across all age groups," says Karen Behnke, founder of Juice Beauty. But if you have acne, dark spots or dull skin, a CC cream may be more up your alley. Plus, "if you're looking for more age-defying or anti-wrinkle properties I'd go with a CC cream," says Behnke.

WAF-SaaS for Amazon Web Servicesart of defence�s distributed web application firewall (dWAF) SaaS offering, hyperguard SaaS, complements and extends the comprehensive network security protection provided by AWS to the web application layer.
AWS customers can access hyperguard SaaS by simply adding a small software plug-in to their existing web server Amazon Machine Image (AMI), or by using art of defence�s custom AMI. art of defence hosts the resource-heavy pieces of the dWAF on Amazon EC2 leaving just a small footprint on a customer's AMI. Thus, hyperguard scales simply with the number of the customer�s web server AMIs without a need to purchase further AMIs.
The solution is ideal for AWS SaaS partners and for AWS end customers who want application-level protection beyond the network layer for their cloud offerings.
Easy deployment without risking performance bottlenecksFor hyperguard protecting your HTTP traffic you only have to install a very small software plug-in, called Enforcer, into your appropriate web delivery AMIs (e.g. web server or application server) or simply use our hyperguard SaaS enhanced Amazon Standard AMIs.
The Enforcer instances will communicate with the hyperguard Decider Cloud (hyperguard DC) on Amazon EC2 and will get back and enforce the appropriate decision within a few milliseconds. Or, if you use hyperguard for Web Application Attack Detection only, all HTTP traffic will never be touched but just "copied" to the hyperguard Decider Cloud for analysis and further reaction.

Property Directions
Arriving from the airport, bus station or train station and if you have not arranged any pick up with us, take a taxi (or any other mean) to the Jema El Fna Square. Once there, locate the Cafe Argana, face it and take the street to its left. Go past the arch after the orange door and go straight. The street does a little corner at the Fnaque Berbere but keep straight on the same street. Once at the end you will find Cafe Bouganvillean just in front of you. Take first right and first left and go through the first arch on your left. Then take this exact amount of turns in the order: right, left, right, left, right (under the tunnel), left and right. If you make a mistake you won't be able to complete the sequence and you'll know you have to go back. The entrance to the Riad is the last door on the right (there's a small wooden plate above it with the name Riad Essaada).

Ideas that persistently tight supplies reportedly did a great deal to support corn prices in Wednesday night trading, while other buyers were reportedly encouraged by the technical advance posted this week. We must admit to be most impressed by the gains in the face of negative news. For example, a South Korean firm rejected all offers and made no purchases in a tender for 55,000 tonnes of corn in early morning activity, thereby indicating many in the industry still view the yellow grain market as being overvalued. We expect continued choppiness in the grain and soy complexes prior to the Friday release of the various USDA reports. March corn rose 3 1/4 cents to $6.97 1/2 in overnight trading, while December edged 1/4 cent higher to $5.82/bushel.
The same forces supporting the grain markets were probably exerting some bullish influence in the soybean pit as well, but legume traders seemed somewhat less sanguine than did their corn and wheat counterparts. That may simply have reflected expectations of the coming South American crop, but bears may also have been responding to talk that China will prove much less active in pursuing bean imports after having been quite aggressive during December. The inability of the nearby March contract to overcome chart resistance associated with its 10-day moving average may also be encouraging speculative sales. March beans were trading unchanged at $13.85 1/2 in pre-dawn trading, while March soyoil continued its recent advance by rising 0.20 cents to 49.84 cents/pound and March meal dipped $1.2 to $408.4/ton.
Some wire service reports suggested overnight wheat gains had been powered by the Wednesday afternoon news that larger portions of the Winter Wheat Belt had officially been declared disaster areas by the USDA. We harbor real doubts on that score, since it didn't change the well-known fact of persistent drought over that region. Indeed, the area is getting much-needed moisture this week. We are more inclined to credit talk of an impending Egyptian wheat tender, as well as ideas that the U.S. will capture the bulk of that business. March CBOT wheat had surged 7 cents to $7.42 1/2 per bushel in Thursday morning trading, while March KCBT wheat climbed 6 1/2 cents to $8.07 3/4 and March MGE futures bounded 5 cents higher to $8.45 1/2.
After posting a surprisingly large decline Wednesday, live cattle futures proved rather mixed in Thursday morning trading. Traders are probably rather pessimistic about the results of cash trading later today and/or Friday, since flat country price action earlier in the week was followed by the Wednesday breakdown in Chicago. Mixed wholesale results are not helping the bullish cause either. February cattle futures inched one tick higher to 131.57 cents/pound in overnight activity, while April fell another 0.35 cents to 135.00.
Widespread expectations for a substantial seasonal rally through January and early February had boosted the hog and pork complex recently. However, those hopes were substantially diminished by market developments early this week, with mixed country prices and a sizeable Tuesday drop in pork cutout doing the bulk of the damage. CME futures obviously suffered the brunt of the reduced optimism Wednesday, with most contracts losing two cents or more by the early-afternoon close. Futures proved rather mixed in Wednesday-night action, thereby reflecting the conflicting results of late-afternoon cash and wholesale reports. The nearby February remained above recent support at the mid-week close, but the breakdown pushed the spring and summer contracts to three-month lows. Those seemingly bode ill for the intermediate-term outlook. February hogs climbed 0.30 cents to 84.50 cents/pound in pre-dawn trading, while June futures slid 0.02 cents to 96.17.
Cotton futures may have benefited from the bullish leadership provided by the grain markets Thursday morning, but the latest Chinese data may also have played a significant role in the rise. That is, an overnight report indicated the Asian giant posted strong exports in December, which traders hope indicates that the Chinese and global economies are continuing their long recovery. Given the strong ties between economic growth and world cotton demand, few could have been surprised by the favorable futures reaction. Whether that strength can be sustained through the Friday release of USDA data remains to be seen, especially since the weekly Export Sales reports will be released later this morning. March cotton advanced 0.36 cents to 75.15 cents/pound in early-morning action, while December gained 0.18 cents to 78.60.


text: GW's Smith finishes what he started at WSAZ Invitational By Tommy R. Atkinson January 19, 2013 Story Share Lawrence Pierce GW's Jake Smith (left) won the 169-pound final over Montgomery County's Gabe McIlrath. HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Jake Smith and the WSAZ Invitational have quite a history.Smith, a George Washington senior, added to that Saturday night with a dominating performance in the championship finals, earning a 15-0 technical fall over Gabe McIlrath of Montgomery County (Ky.) to claim the 160-pound weight class at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena.Smith won titles from the sixth grade through the ninth at the invitational before coming up empty as a sophomore and junior the past two seasons."It's definitely weird that this is my last shot at a WSAZ title,'' said Smith, who was the top-seeded grappler at 160 and the only one from the Kanawha Valley to earn a No. 1 seed."I remember in sixth grade coming in and it was a whole other level [at the WSAZ], a whole different ballgame. Then I went to high school and I thought, 'One day I'm not going to be wrestling anymore. I'll be up in the stands watching. I need to bust my butt and get as many titles as I can.'''Huntington, the AAA No. 1 in this week's state coaches association-wvmat.com poll, cruised to the team title with five individual champs and 2711/2 points with AA-A No. 2 Greenbrier West trailing at 1751/2. Shady Spring, No. 8 in AAA, was third with 1621/2 points followed by Johnson Central, Ky. (1531/2) and Meade County, Ky. (144). (See Page 2B for results.)George Washington and Winfield were the only teams from the Kanawha Valley to finish in the top 10. The Patriots accumulated 1201/2 points to finish eighth while the Generals had 1101/2 for No. 10. Besides Smith, Winfield sophomore Bryce Humphreys captured his second straight individual title at 126 and Nitro's David Smith earned a 3-2 win in overtime for the 285 crown. GW's Sam Moore finished runner-up at 106.Point Pleasant, the two-time defending WSAZ champion and winner of four of the last five overall team titles, had a scheduling conflict and didn't compete this year. The Big Blacks, who moved up to AAA this year after winning three straight AA-A state titles, were instead taking part in the ASICS Top Gun tournament in Alliance, Ohio. The WSAZ features 31 high school and 50 junior high and middle school teams.Cabell Midland was barred from competing at the WSAZ because of concerns team members had been exposed to a form of herpes that manifests in a skin rash, the Huntington Herald Dispatch newspaper reported. The state health department contacted meet officials Friday, the first day of the event, and told them Midland should not be allowed to participate.Smith captured the state title last year at 145 and looks to become a rare two-time champion in a different weight class. He earned a 3-0 record with a 20-4 major decision in the championship second round, a 15-0 shellacking in the quarterfinals and a fall in the semifinals. "I came out with good performances this weekend,'' he said. "I kind of surprise myself. I think I'm on the right track to be on top of the podium in February [at the state tournament]."I'm just working hard and trying to stay healthy. I'm hitting the weight room even harder. I'm just trying to seal the deal.'' nnThe small schools packed quite a punch at the WSAZ Invitational.Greenbrier West and Independence turned in top 10 performances. The WSAZ format puts the squeeze on the smaller schools since everyone competes in the same division for the same individual and team titles. West's Malik Boatwright (152) and Tyler Parker (170) claimed individual championships, as did Independence's Colton Ward (132)."We've had a good weekend,'' said Greenbrier West coach Jeremy Tincher. "We've had several good weekends in a row. We've won the last three tournaments. We've been on a nice run and the kids are working hard. Things are going really well right now.''Tincher said he brought West to the WSAZ for the first time since he has been coach."For us it's been a long process [to compete at this level],'' the West coach said. "This group of kids, they've been with us in our youth program since they were all 6 and 7 years old and we're starting nine sophomores."It's been a whole community. It's been the parents, administrators, the volunteer coaches and dads. Selling cupcakes in the concession stand. It's taken about five years to get the program where we want it.''Reach Tommy R.

The Back Page
By U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah
At the bottom of our planet, on the icy landscape of Antarctica, a thousand scientists financed by the National Science Foundation are searching for answers to climate change and extreme survival.
At the repurposed Philadelphia Navy Yard, the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster, a Department of Energy Innovation Hub, has created a place where scientists and engineers from a cross section of disciplines will work together to investigate new ways to make buildings more energy efficient. This collaborative environment will reduce the time it takes to turn a new idea into a new product and will help the nation to adopt a more sustainable energy mix.
When weather-related disasters struck across the nation in 2011, climatologists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) were on the front lines providing an accurate and timely portrait of the storm systems. Every day, NOAA researchers help the world to gain a better understanding of the effects of human-induced climate change on the planet's weather patterns. NOAA's efforts are resulting in a better understanding of climate change's effects on oceans and biodiversity, longer storm warning lead times and new knowledge about our changing climate.
Everywhere we look, big questions are being asked and far-reaching answers have been forthcoming from research sponsored and underwritten by you and me and by every American. We all benefit from this multi-billion-dollar initiative that is, in aggregate, vital to our survival as a global community and critical to our advancement as Americans.
Scientific research sponsored or conducted by the United States government has benefited all of us. Every project seeks to unlock a door, every scientist is impelled by the need to know more.
Yet this imperative of our government is all too often taken for granted, denied vital resources or even challenged politically. The effort to protect and promote scientific research is never-ending and never easy in the halls of Congress.
Make no mistake, we are in global competition – with the European Union, China, India, Russia and other nations that don't flinch on their commitment to basic science. Singapore, with a population of less than five million, invests $6 billion in research, about the same as our government funds through the National Science Foundation. China spares no expense as it reaches into space.
We must not cede our leadership because for more than half a century, science has been the driver of the American economy. The Department of Energy's Office of Science, as the largest funder of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States, has helped the nation accomplish its missions in energy security, national security, environmental restoration, and discovery-driven science. And the National Science Foundation has consistently fulfilled its unique federal role, providing support for university research that has made America's higher education the envy of the world.
President Obama has articulated a national imperative to honor science and "win the future" through innovation and manufacturing. Scientific research is key to this bright tomorrow that the President describes as attainable – but not automatic. Our will is being tested every day.
One area where our government can do more – and do it better – is neuroscience. We are on the cusp of advances in our understanding of the brain. The human brain regulates breathing, speech, and rational thought. Every aspect of our lives is dictated by synapses and responses to stimuli, yet we are only just beginning to understand the functions of this enigmatic organ. Neuroscience research can provide insight into learning and brain repair. It can help us to alleviate and prevent injury and illness, and it can help us to understand behaviors like criminality and addiction. I am committed to neuroscience and the possibilities it offers because of its interdisciplinary nature – joining the biomedical and physical sciences – and because of the potential to dramatically improve individual lives and society.
That is why I proposed and won enactment in Congress in November 2011 for a breakthrough initiative that declares neuroscience research a federal priority and calls on the White House, through the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), to establish an interagency working group to coordinate Federal investments in neuroscience research. This coordinated priority – signed into law by President Obama – holds the promise of additional resources going forward.
The investments we make now in neuroscience research will have a multi-fold payoff, both in terms of the quality of life of Americans and reductions in healthcare costs. A coordinated federal policy on neuroscience is long overdue. The federal science and research agencies are best positioned to advance this vital effort, but they must work together. This directive from the Congress will go a long way to make it happen.
Neuroscience research is mainly supported by the National Institutes of Health, but also by NSF, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, and other Federal agencies. Much of this cutting-edge research is under way in my home district. I have been privileged to visit labs and meet an impressive roster of physicians and scientists at the University of Pennsylvania, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the Monell Chemical Senses Center and Drexel University – all located within a few blocks of each other in West Philadelphia's remarkable University City complex.
Neuroscience is not, of course, the only vital area of research with government input. The U.S. government has long been engaged in breakthrough research at National Laboratories that include Sandia and Los Alamos in New Mexico and Fermi outside Chicago, all of which I have visited.
As men and women of science lead us to compete on the world stage, we are not shadowboxing. They are engaged in research that cannot be done on the cheap, and it can't be done piecemeal. Our national imperative is to support our heroes of the laboratory. This is the challenge of the 21st century.
Congressman Chaka Fattah (PA-02) is the senior Democrat on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and related agencies, which sets more than $50 billion in spending priorities for the NSF, NASA, the NOAA, and the Departments of Commerce and Justice. He is also a member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water. The native Philadelphian holds a master's degree in government administration from the University of Pennsylvania Fels Center of Government. He is nationally recognized as an innovator in educational reform and is architect of GEAR UP, Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs, the nation's most successful college readiness program for low-income students. Fattah is co-chair of the Congressional Urban Caucus. He is in his ninth term representing portions of Philadelphia and Montgomery County and served 12 years as a state legislator prior to election to Congress in 1994.

Seat belt, safety seat use helped save Rogers worker, son
by Tim Hennagir
A Monticello father and son injured by another driver in a July high-speed chase have received a unique safety recognition from the Minnesota State Patrol.
Travis and Layton Kolles were seriously injured in a car crash July 22 that involved a man who was fleeing police near County Road 18 and East Broadway in Monticello.
Troopers Sara Stack and Reed Bye and Sgt. Mark Roddy were recently waiting for Travis and Layton to return home. The law enforcement trio presented the pair with "Saved by the Seat Belt" and child safety seat awards, which serve as official recognition a person or persons is a crash survivor.
Stack was the trooper who wrote up the official details of the crash that injured Travis and Layton. She nominated them for the seat belt and seat awards.
Stack, Bye and Roddy were present at the accident; Roddy completed the accident reconstruction. "I am confident both father and son are alive because they were properly restrained in their vehicle," Stack wrote via email.
"Although they are not fully recovered from their injuries,Travis and Layton still have a long road of healing from such a serious crash," she added. "It is important for the father to know he did protect his son and himself by being properly restrained in the vehicle. If they were not, the crash outcome would not have been favorable."
Stack said a trooper who investigates a particular crash may nominate those involved if certain criteria are met; while Travis and Layton sustained serious injury, she said seat belt and safety seat use helped them escape death.
"Someone was watching over me, and the both of us have been pretty blessed, and lucky," Travis said after Stack presented the awards, referring to his and little Layton's period of recovery. Travis recently returned to work at Hassan Sand & Gravel in Rogers. "The way my recovery went, I didn't think I would be back to work already," he said. "I'm pretty good. My memory is pretty much the way it was, but I do get tired a lot faster. The doctors say it will take up to a year before that goes away."
Travis said he's avoided viewing any news coverage that surrounded the July 22 crash, but he did look at a picture of his car.
"That's the biggest step I've taken yet," he said. "Someday, I hope not to think about it."
Christine Kolles feels the same way. She was pregnant with a second child, Nash Robert, when the crash occurred. Christine recently provided a three-month update on Travis and Layton's CaringBridge site: "Three months ago today our lives forever changed," she wrote. "It's been a long and crazy three months. But all that matters is that we made it through, Travis and Layton are here and doing great, and now we feel stronger than ever as a couple and as a family. Layton is in love with having a baby in the house, and he loves being at daycare a few days a week, and is his crazy self running around the house. He is our little miracle to the say the least. Layton loves being a big brother. Some days I sit back and think of everything that has happened [to us], and I tear up with happiness knowing that all three [of my] boys are healthy and happy."
Trooper Bye said when he arrived at the scene, he was amazed at how well the child safety seat had protected Layton. "That keeps sticking in my mind, and it will for the rest of my life," he said. "I've never seen anything like it. That side-impact approved seat really did its job."
Travis said he and Christine recently bought a similar set for Layton's brother, Nash Robert. Bye and Travis agreed that the child safety seat's clamshell-like collapse around Layton protected him.
"For the most part, Christine picks Layton up 80 percent of the time. That day, I got off earlier," Travis said, referring to the day of the crash and events that transpired before his car was hit and his life was dramatically changed. "Everything happens for a reason. You just try and take the positive out of it," he said.
Christine added on CaringBridge that as the holidays move closer, she and Travis will be even more to be grateful. "To have Travis and Layton with us this Thanksgiving and Christmas will be such a blessing," she wrote. "We are forever grateful to every single person who took the time to continue to pray for us. I wish we could hug and personally thank every person. Without all of your prayers I don't think we would be where we are today. To our families and friends, thank you. The constant support has helped make this accident a little easier. We are so lucky to have such a great family and friends. We love you all!"

MORE PANGOS: Recruiting notes | Bentil rises up
Rivals.com caught the action at the Pangos All-East Frosh/Soph Camp in West Deptford, N.J., over the weekend. Here are a few of the observations from scouting the event.
1. Philly is loaded with underclass talent
An impressive number of high major prospects attended the Pangos All-East Fresh/Soph Camp in West Deptford, N.J. Out of that group of high major prospects, the vast majority made the trip across the river from the surrounding Philadelphia area. In fact 14 of the 30 participants in the all-star game were from the Philadelphia area.
Some of the Philadelphia area participants of note were Horace Spencer, who is considered one of the top freshmen post prospects in the country and dynamic guard Shep Garner out of the 2014 class.
Other Philadelphia area prospects of note were Marcus Floyd, Sammy Foreman, Conrad Chambers, Levan Alston, Jaquan Newton, Sean Lloyd, Basil Thompson, Jahyde Gardiner, Tony Toplyn, Trevaughn Wilkerson, Carnel Harley and Malik Starkes.
2. Big men develop later than guards
The toughest task in scouting underclassmen is evaluating the post players. Unlike the young perimeter players who typically have fairly polished skill games, the big men are still raw offensively and growing accustomed to their physical length.
It is far from an exact science when trying to determine how good a young post player will be. So much changes during a high school career with these prospects. One pretty reliable indicator, however, is what type of motor a post prospect plays with. Those that play with energy and exhibit a desire to compete are often going to achieve their potential. On the other hand, those big men that show little zeal for the game and competition are much less likely to fully develop.
3. Dribbling is the preferred skill
It's not like there weren't some good shooters at the camp, but there were definitely a whole lot of dribblers. The game is evolving into more of a dribble-based game as opposed to a cutting and passing game, and prospects are much more adept at dribbling than shooting.
This trend isn't necessarily all bad, but when prospects dribble just to dribble it kills the flow and energy of the game. When the dribble is utilized with the purpose of covering ground to create a play, then shots are created and teammates are energized.
Young prospects have to remember that no matter how flashy it looks, you can't dribble the ball into the basket and ultimately you need to become a quality shooter/scorer.

It wouldn't make sense to just randomly have them show up in the middle of the war because they are key players and...you know what they say, save the best for last, right? In fact, I won't be satisfied until my favorites get to show their all. Only then will I be able to enjoy the final fight!

Kerastase Nutritive Serum Oleo-Relax
Kerastase Nutritive Serum Oleo-Relax Reviews
Excellent!I still prefer John Frieda's "Frizz-Ease Thermal Serum," but this is lightweight, works through your entire hair easily with just a little, protects it from heating and styling tools, adds shine, softness, and strength. — 4 years, 3 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Beats the cheap stuff!I have used other serums but this has been my favorite. It's light and has a wonderful smell. I also love that it doesn't take too much to get results. I use only 1and a half pumps and that's for my long hair (past the shoulder blades). Expensive but soooo worth it. — 5 years, 3 months agosweettpea29 | 280 reviews

wonderfulThis beats Biosilk, and that as you know is raved by all. Oleo Relax is in a convenient pump bottle that is super easy to precisely control the amount you want. The serum is easy to spread through your palms and onto hair, gives a smooth shine that lasts, not greasy nor sticky, and smells wonderful, though on a strong side. If you are a silicone addict, this is the best one out there IMO. Invest in this. — 5 years, 3 months agoMakeupGuru | 444 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
The countdown has started. In 100 days, starting Oct. 1, millions of families across the nation will have an opportunity to enroll in health coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare.
The full benefits of the law will be most apparent and available to residents of California. This is because California, due to its active role in implementing the historic health reform law, is expected to be one of the model states for the rest of the nation. As a result, California will demonstrate the vast, potential benefits of the ACA.
Here are some other things about the law to watch for, as we approach and get beyond the Oct. 1 milestone.
First, the public's focus on the ACA will become increasingly personal and decreasingly political. The closer we get to Oct. 1, families will shift their focus to the nuts and bolts of the new law and how it affects their lives. They will be able to pick and enroll in a health plan and, for the first time, get financial help to reduce out-of-pocket premium costs.
Families who can't pay for health coverage today will be looking for details about the new premium subsidies that will make health insurance much more affordable.
Consumers seeking increased value for their health care dollars will learn how new insurance marketplaces give them real and meaningful choices — choices that put consumers in the driver's seat, enabling them to select health plans best suited for their needs, with access to physicians they trust.
People with diabetes, asthma or cancer — whether they currently have coverage or will be looking for coverage — will seek assurance that insurance companies can no longer deny coverage, or charge discriminatory premiums, due to their pre-existing conditions.
While some Republican leaders pledge that the ACA will be a top issue in the 2014 elections, political rhetoric will become a sideshow as we move closer to Oct. 1: What will really matter will be how the ACA, in the most practical ways, affects the lives of Californians and other American families.
Second, there will be significant and perceptible differences from one state to another in terms of health coverage, costs, and quality of care — with states such as California that actively participate in all provisions of the law faring much better.
These differences between states will show up in a number of ways. For example, states that accept generous federal funding to expand Medicaid coverage for low-income families will show remarkable improvements in reducing uninsured rates. States that turn a cold shoulder to those who need help the most won't see these reductions.
States with larger numbers of on-the-ground helpers, sometimes called "navigators" or "assisters," will help their residents much more effectively to secure premium subsidies and to obtain coverage that is most responsive to their families' needs.
And states that implement active oversight of their insurance marketplaces will do appreciably better in decelerating decades of premium increases.
Third, prospective and actual advances among active, cooperating states such as California will slowly but surely lead to less recalcitrance among governors and legislators in states that heretofore resisted, or even obstructed, the ACA's implementation.
Already, eight conservative governors — Jan Brewer of Arizona, Chris Christie of New Jersey, Jack Dalrymple of North Dakota, John Kasich of Ohio, Susana Martinez of New Mexico, Brian Sandoval of Nevada, Rick Scott of Florida and Rick Snyder of Michigan — have declared their support for the Medicaid expansion, understanding that it would be an act of fiscal malpractice to turn down this federal funding.
And when other benefits of ACA implementation in active states become clearer, additional Republican governors will want to follow their lead.
As a result, effective implementation of the new health reform law will spread throughout the country, and this will enable our nation to move closer to affordable, quality health coverage and care for all Americans.
Ron Pollack is the founding executive director of Families USA, the national organization for health care consumers. He is also the founding board chair of Enroll America.

A GROOVY ball has helped swell Prospect Hospice's coffers and boost the Adver's 160 Appeal in one fell swoop with £2,600 raised towards the vital care to terminally-ill patients.
A Valentine's Day dance featuring Stayin' Alive, a Bee Gees tribute band, attracted 280 revellers to the De Vere Leisure Village on Friday for a night of disco classics.
Despite the event's unexpected change of venue at the eleventh hour, guests all took the slight hiccup in their stride and proved their boundless generosity by emptying the pockets of their flared trousers throughout the ball.
This was organiser Natalie Hearn's second dance for Prospect after a popular 1970s theme extravaganza in October.
But despite the success of last autumn's event, she never expected the disco night to raise such a large sum for the Wroughton hospice.
"We wanted to do something for Prospect because they work extremely hard for patients and their families," said the 32-year-old from the town centre, who was supported by her husband Stephen through the planning process.
"Everybody will know someone affected by cancer at some point and we have lost friends and loved ones to cancer. It's a charity close to our hearts.
"We raised £2,100 at our last event in October and we really wanted to beat that this time. But I thought we would just be a little over.
"People couldn't buy enough raffle tickets; it was amazing. We made £400 from the raffle in one hour."
Initially due to be held at the Swindon Town Legends Lounge, the event had to be moved because Swindon Town were playing a match at the County Ground that same night.
Natalie added: "Having to find a venue in five days was stressful. We had to contact 280 people and rearrange everything. "But it ended up having no impact; everyone came and we raised an amazing amount. It's nice to know the money is going somewhere where it's going to be used well."
Prospect fundraiser Amy Francombe said: "We are delighted that Natalie and Steve raised £2,605.71 through their Valentine's Ball, to add to the £2,103.22 they raised in October.
"Their shared passion for fundraising for Prospect Hospice makes them ideal to lead our latest fundraising support group in Swindon town centre.
"We are hopeful that many people will want to join them in their drive to consolidate the support for Prospect Hospice in this part of our local community."
To find out more about Prospect Hospice's Swindon Town Centre Support Group, contact Amy on 01793 815142.
Natalie will hold a Soul and Motown dance on June 20 at Swindon Town Legends Lounge.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 23-year-old Duval County inmate was found dead in his cell during a routine check late Sunday night, and police suspect he killed himself.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said James Patrick Klinger apparently hung himself in a holding cell just before midnight.
Klinger was booked into jail about 7:30 p.m. on charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and a license plate violation. Records show his only prior arrest was on suspicion of DUI.
Klinger would have turned 24 on Saturday.
Attorney Gene Nichols, who represented Klinger on his recent criminal charges, released this statement on behalf of Klinger's family:
"As you can imagine, James' parents are shocked and saddened by the news. I have personally known James for years and he was a bright young man with a wonderful future ahead of him. We are confident that the Sheriff's Office will take the necessary time to investigate this incident and provide the family with a complete explanation as to what happened to James while in the Duval County Jail. We have reached out to the Sheriff's Office and look forward to their response. We ask for prayers for James' family and friends as they come to grasps with this tragic event."
The death was under investigation by JSO's Cold Case unit, which looks into all deaths while in police custody.

Bills defeat Panthers 24-23 on last second touchdown
Posted September 14, 2013
Updated September 15, 2013
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Final: Graham Gano hit two field goals in the fourth to break the 14-14 tie and give the Panthers a 20-14 lead in the fourth. The Bills answered with a field goal of their own to bring the score to 20-17 with seven minutes to play. But the Panthers answered right back with another field goal. The Bills drove down the field to score a last second touchdown and win the game on a EJ Manuel to Stevie Johnson pass.
End of third quarter: Bills Dan Carpenter hit a 20-yard field goal to bring the score to 7-6 Panthers. A 40-yard pass from Cam Newton to Ted Ginn Jr. for a touchdown extended the Panthers lead, 14-6. Minutes later Fred Jackson took it in for the Bills on a four yard touchdown run, their two-point conversion attempt was good to tie the game at 14-14.
Halftime: Panthers 7, Bills 3: Former NC State defensive end Mario Williams has had three sacks on quarterback Cam Newton in the first half. The Panthers reached the redzone for the first time all day and were able to find the endzone on a Cam Newton to Greg Olsen pass.
End of first quarter: Panthers quarterback Cam Newton threw an interception on the team's first drive but the Bills couldn't find the end zone and had to settle for a field goal attempt. The kick went wide leaving the game tied 0-0 after one.
Preview: It's no secret in Buffalo that the Bills' secondary is thin and young.
So pardon safety Jim Leonhard if he wasn't taken by surprise upon hearing Panthers quarterback Cam Newton's intention to open up Carolina's passing attack against Buffalo on Sunday.
"It's the NFL. That's what they're supposed to do, right? Cam gets paid a lot of money to throw for a lot of yards," Leonhard said. "To me, it's not bulletin-board material. You can say what you want, young secondary. They're going to make us earn it. And we have to take that challenge."
It's a test the Bills (0-1) will face with an injury-depleted secondary. Top cornerback Stephon Gilmore is out with a broken wrist. And Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd's status remains uncertain while he's bothered by plantar fasciitis in both feet.
If that's not enough, the Bills were forced to shuffle their defensive backs roster further after backup cornerback Ron Brooks broke his right foot in a season-opening 23-21 loss to the New England Patriots.
That leaves Leodis McKelvin as the top cornerback, while Leonhard is already playing a regular role despite signing with the team two weeks ago.
Newton and the Panthers (0-1) have concerns of their own, coming off a 12-7 home loss to Seattle during which Newton managed a career-low 125 yards passing under new coordinator Mike Shula.
Coach Ron Rivera called the offensive approach too conservative. And Newton came out Wednesday to say the team "absolutely" plans to take more shots downfield after attempting just three passes that went 10 yards or longer.
Here are five other things to look for Sunday:
THREE-AND-OUTS: The Bills' new-look hurry-up offense didn't get very far, very fast in rookie quarterback EJ Manuel's debut. Though Manuel completed 18 of 27 passes for 150 yards and two TDs, the offense lacked consistency.
They managed just 15 first downs — five on a third-quarter touchdown drive — and converted just four of 13 third-down chances.
"Obviously, you've got to get that fixed," running back Fred Jackson said. "We can't leave our defense out there. We can't go three-and-out and put them back out there and make them have a long day."
RUN-STUFFING PANTHERS: The front-seven of Carolina's defense has picked up from where it ended last season in stopping the run.
The Panthers limited the Seahawks to 70 yards rushing. Dating to last season, Carolina has allowed an average of 57 yards rushing in its past five games.
That presents a daunting test for Buffalo's running attack, which had difficulty finding its groove last weekend. C.J. Spiller lost a fumble and finished with 17 carries for 41 yards, a significant drop-off after he finished second in the NFL last season by averaging a little over 6 yards a carry.
NO FINISH: New season, familiar lack of finish for Rivera and the Panthers after squandering a 7-6 fourth-quarter lead against Seattle. In 33 games since Rivera took over, the Panthers dropped to 2-13 in games decided by 7 points or less — a statistic that has put the coach on the hot seat.
The Panthers squandered a chance to retake the lead when running back DeAngelo Williams lost a fumble at the Seahawks 8 with 5:25 remaining. Seattle then ran out the clock.
"We're winning this game, and then I give away a hard-fought victory," Williams said.
O-LINE SHUFFLE: The Panthers are busy shuffling an unsettled offensive line.
Chris Scott will start at right guard after Garry Williams sustained a season-ending knee injury on Sunday. Left guard Amini Silatolu (hamstring) has been limited in practice this week after missing the opener. Travelle Wharton will start if Silatolu can't play.
THROWBACKS: The new-look Bills will get a glimpse into the past, when the team honors its 28-member Wall of Fame during a halftime ceremony. Among those on hand will be QBs Jim Kelly and Joe Ferguson, Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy, and families representing deceased members such as center Kent Hull and OT Bob Kalsu, the only pro football player killed during the Vietnam War.

Usually the build to WM is well planned and creates lots of interest into the biggest PPV of the year. However, the past couple of months have done nothing to build the PPV for a number of reasons. Bad booking, lack of pushes and stale gimmicks are diminishing what normally is a stellar build.
Punk quitting has hurt the WWE as one of its biggest draws no longer is on TV (still a top
Now, WWE is a lucrative enterprise and does what it wants with booking and promoting superstars. They used to be really good at creating stars or taking some and making them more popular. For example, Bret Hart, HBK, The Rock, SCSA, Kurt Angle, Christ Benoit, Eddie Guerro, John Cena are stars who benefited from the WWE creative process. There are many more to list but I won't. WWE has the chance
Watching WWE over the past couple months has become increasingly difficult because of how bad the product is when it comes to storylines and pushing the right stars. I know that I am a big supporter of Punk, Byran, Sandow, and Ziggler so I admit a bias. However, this product is very predictable and stale!
Daniel Bryan should be the champion right now and I am not saying that because
Now I have been watching the latest blunder by the WWE as are most of you. Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton started off as a great storyline and had the ingredients to make a solid feud carry over for a couple of months. However, they are just repeating the same mundane stale manner in which Bryan gets jobbed. I fully get how the want to continue to build him up as the new face and by having him continue
Over the past couple of editions of Raw some alarming red flags are starting to arise. Instead of building momentum they are depleting it. Vince and Cena are both now becoming apparently lame on the mic. Cena use to deliver strong promos but now they are brutal. He is getting more boring chants and killing the crowd. The garbage coming out of his mouth is absurd, really you are being underestimated.
