It's a small mercy that I barely remember my first day on my own with both kids: Predictably, it was a disaster. The day involved a lot of tears, boiling over macaroni, leaking boobs and at least one text informing my husband in no uncertain terms that we were done having kids. But we survived—and you can, too, when it comes time for your first day on your own with kids.
After all, as hard as that first day was, it wasn't all bad. I managed to put Peeper down for a nap (success!). And as I was rocking both kids in the rocking chair, Peeper kept reaching over and petting her newborn sister's fuzzy head. It was beautiful. It was tender. It was a moment that kept me from completely giving up.
To get through your first day on your own with kids, New Mom, I'm offering a few tips. Some of these helped me during the early and hard months of having two kids, and some I've heard from others.
Until it gets easier—and it will get easier!—here's how to make it through your first day on your own with kids.
New mom of 2 kids: You can do it!
- Accept it'll be hard. Going into your first day on your own with two kids with the expectation you'll cruise right through it will make you feel like an utter failure. Know ahead of time that it'll be hard—and you'll be less hard on yourself.
- Reach out. Text a friend (or ten) throughout the day, and pick ones you feel comfortable venting to. Another mom of multiple kids will totally not judge when you admit your toddler has been naked for the last two hours because you just can't manage to get her into clothes.
- Try to get out. Home can start to feel like a prison if you don't make sure to leave it once in a while. So go to new moms' group, check out your library's story time, join a Hike It Baby outing or just go to the grocery store (and don't forget to restock your ice cream).
- Don't worry about being late. If you do make it to something out of the house, know you'll probably be late. It's hard getting everyone out of the house anytime, not to mention when it's your first day on your own with kids. Everyone will understand.
- Prep the night before. Trying to make a PBJ one-handed while you wear the baby and hold your toddler on your hip is futile. Do yourself a solid and prep as much as you can—snacks and lunch, packing the diaper bag, unloading the dishwasher—the night before. Even better, have your partner or a friend do the prep for you.
- Build in self-care. When motherhood feels this hard, as it inevitably will the first day you have two kids by yourself, you need to treat yourself. So lie down when you can (even if it's just on the kitchen floor for 60 seconds—been there), find something small that feels rejuvenating (chocolate!) and take as many tiny breaks as you can throughout the day.
- Find away time. Prepare your partner or whoever is helping later on that you will need a break—emphasis on need—as soon as he or she gets home. I know from very personal experience that this is often the witching hour when Baby is crankiest. So get everyone on the same page ("I know Baby will be grumpy and probably crying, but can you please take her for a 15-minute walk so I can take a short bath?") and then hold yourself to it.
- Be gentle with yourself. Yes, millions of mothers have managed to take care of two kids (and many more!) by themselves. Yes, your super-perfect neighbor always looks flawless while caring for her kids on her own. Yes, you wanted this. These things do not mean it will be easy for you—especially your first day on your own with kids. So try not to beat yourself up. You'll get better at taking care of two (or more) kids. And pretty soon you'll be the one offering advice to new moms on how to survive—no, excel—at taking care of kids with no help.
Do you have any wisdom on how to make it through your first day on your own with kids?

Age-related insomnia may be a throwback to a time when live-in grandparents helped our ancestors stay safe at night, US researchers say.
Varying sleep patterns among people of different ages evolved to protect against danger lurking in the night, they say.
For our ancestors who lived and slept in groups thousands of years ago, it paid to ensure not everyone was deeply asleep.
It could be one reason why people tend to experience more restless nights as they get older.
Dr David Samson, a researcher at Duke University in North Carolina, said: "The idea that there's a benefit to living with grandparents has been around for a while but this study extends that idea to vigilance during night-time sleep."
The scientists, who call their theory the "poorly sleeping grandparent hypothesis", carried out a study of the Hadza people, a traditional hunter-gatherer community in Tanzania.
During the day, men and women go their separate ways to hunt or forage for tubers and berries in the savannah woodlands.
At night, young and old alike sleep together out in the open or in huts.
But not everyone slept at the same time, the researchers found.
Older group members in their 50s and 60s generally went to bed earlier and woke up earlier than those in their 20s and 30s.
As a result, it was rare for the whole group to be sleeping at once.
On average, more than one-third of the group was alert or dozing very lightly at any time.
The findings, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, might help explain why the Hadza generally do not post night-time sentinels.
Co-author Professor Charlie Nunn said: "A lot of older people go to doctors complaining that they wake up early and can't get back to sleep. But maybe there's nothing wrong with them. Maybe some of the medical issues we have today could be explained not as disorders but as a relic of an evolutionary past in which they were beneficial."

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Find information about Becker College athletic teams, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches are more interested in players who already know about their team and college, so do your research before visiting a college campus in person. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Becker College Athletic information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Becker College.
As a student athlete, you can play college sports competitively at an intercollegiate level, or just for fun via intramurals. Please keep in mind that few students will qualify for athletic scholarships, and that college coaches sward available sports scholarship money judiciously.
Approximately 126,000 student athletes go to college on either a partial or full athletic scholarship, but the vast majority of college athletic teams have open tryouts, and walk-ons may land a position on the team if they are talented enough. If you've been recruited or made it past a walk-on tryout, that's when the real challenge starts. You still have to make it through daily practices, and several rounds of cuts in order to make the team. Fresno Pacific University football stats may encourage student-athletes to apply via early decision. Students who are considering applying via early decision should be aware of the rules and obligations that this commitment entails. Beyond consideration for Becker College athletic teams, you may think about Stockton College ACT composite for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Japan Airlines Corp. has decided to pare its workforce by 13,000 by the end of March 2015 — or 4,000 more than planned — sources with knowledge of the new plan said Saturday.
The move would cut the payroll at Japan's largest airline and its group subsidiaries to around 35,000 and cut the subsidiaries to around 50 from roughly 120, the sources said.
JAL has decided to step up downsizing as the government mulls the use public funds to keep it afloat. The airline is expected to formulate the key points of the new turnaround plan by the end of the month.
The greater part of the job cuts will be at Japan Airlines International Co., the unit in charge of JAL's flights.
The extra 4,000 will come from selling part of JAL's stake in JAL Hotels Co., a unit that runs about 60 hotels at home and abroad, and from consolidating the overseas units of travel agency JALPAK Co.

Hey everyone!
I am wayyyy behind in blogging lately, and for that I apologize. Purple Shimmer Sunday is happening today this week instead of Sunday as I attended a wedding this past Saturday and didn't get my crap together in time for Sunday lol. Be sure to check out what Jenny and Kristy were up to this week!
Today I am showing off Illamasqua Baptiste. Baptiste is a lovely dark purple polish with bits of violet shimmer within. The formula on Baptiste was nice; not too thin or thick. Baptiste was opaque for me in two coats. I have to say, the Illamasqua brushes are fab!
In most lighting situations, Baptiste is very dark - nearly black. But get Baptiste in the sunlight and BAM! Shimmery goodness! I've been reading around online that people have been saying Baptiste and Urban Decay Vice (see it here) are dupes, however I don't feel that they are exact dupes. Yes, they are both dark shimmery purples but to my eye, Vice is a lot more red-toned whereas Baptiste looks more blue-toned. Also, in the sunlight, Vice has a lot more apparent shimmer than Baptiste. Don't get me wrong though - both of these polishes are lovely in their own right. Though if I had to pick only one, it would be Vice because of the higher shimmer factor (yep, that's now officially a thing...ha).
Well, enough babbling...check out Baptiste for yourself!
Here's two coats of Baptiste in the sun (no flash):
And here it is under a desk lamp (no flash):
So shiney! ^_^
As always, thanks for stopping by and have a great evening!

Interview with Scott Ritter
ASMAN: Let me read to you a couple of quotes. I'm sure you've
heard it before, but these are from four years ago, when you sounded about
Saddam Hussein not very much different from the way President Bush did today at
the U.N.
This one is from this week -- August 30, 1998 -- "Six months is a very reasonable time scale for Iraq to resume weapons capabilities."
The second two are from Good Morning America also in August of '98.
First, "Iraq's job is to avoid bringing the world's attention to the fact they've retained these weapons," and then, "Iraq retains the capability to launch a chemical strike." Sounds like Saddam Hussein is very dangerous and could mount a chemical strike right now.
RITTER: And what point are you trying to make?
ASMAN: Do you disagree with that in any way, shape or form?
RITTER: I don't disagree with anything I've ever said. Why in God's name would I disagree with something I've said?
ASMAN: Then how is it that people have gotten the impression that since those statements were made, you're now being somewhat apologetic for what Saddam Hussein is doing?
RITTER: Forget those people. Let's deal with the facts. First of all, it's a matter of perception. When I resigned, I didn't resign as someone beating the drum of war. I'm not out there promoting war. I didn't promote war when I was a weapons inspector. I'm not promoting war now. I'm promoting the process of weapons inspections as mandated by the Security Council. So I resigned in protest from being unable to do the job of completing the disarmament of Iraq.
ASMAN: So you think Saddam Hussein still has these chemical weapons capabilities?
RITTER: No, I said Saddam Hussein has the potential of having chemical weapons capability. We haven't completely confirmed the final disposition of these capabilities and they must be of concern. But to say that Saddam Hussein retains chemical weapons -- there's a big difference between weapons and capability.
ASMAN: You're talking about delivering the arsenal he has.
RITTER: I'm saying Saddam Hussein has the capability, inside Iraq today -- Iraq has the capability to convert aspects of its civilian infrastructure to reconstitute chemical weapons. Six months is not an unreasonable time. I said it then and I'm saying it now.
ASMAN: So he might still have all of those barrels of evil stuff, the biochemical weapons?
RITTER: It's not a matter of "still have," he might have been able to make those weapons in the intervening time.
ASMAN: Right, and chances are he has those weapons but he doesn't have the power to deliver them?
RITTER: No, first of all, I never said he has them and I'm not saying chances are he has them, I'm saying there's a possibility he could reconstitute this capability and that's why we have to have inspectors in place. You can't go from the fact we can't confirm the final disposition of important elements of his program -- which is the case -- to suddenly giving Saddam Hussein massive strike capability that threatens the United States of America. You can't make that leap. It is something you have to be concerned about. But the problem with what Bush is doing today is that he's made that leap, void of any intelligence information to substantiate that.
ASMAN: But it's not void of actions, Mr. Ritter. It is particularly in light of what happened on September 11, 2001 and the fear that there are evil people out there, some of whom may have consorted with Saddam Hussein in the past, that would get together and use some of these chemical weapons -- if they're in Iraq -- on U.S. citizens.
RITTER: But this is a purely hypothetical situation. Show me where is the link.
ASMAN: September 11, 2001 was not hypothetical, nothing hypothetical at all.
RITTER: Don't disgrace the death of those 3,000 people by bringing Iraq into the equation.
ASMAN: We know there are people out there willing to do the dirty deed and we also know Saddam Hussein has had contacts with these people in the past.
RITTER: No, you don't know that.
ASMAN: We know from Czech intelligence. Czech intelligence says that an Iraqi met with Mohammed Atta twice.
RITTER: What does the CIA and FBI say?
ASMAN: The FBI and CIA say the situation is not clear but Czech intelligence says it is. And why it is that the only person, only Arab leader that Usama bin Laden likes and approves of and speaks highly of is Saddam Hussein, why?
RITTER: That's an absurdity, David. Usama bin Laden in 1991 was offering his services to confront Saddam Hussein. Usama bin Laden has issued fatwas against Saddam Hussein.
ASMAN: We talked to representatives of Al Qaeda here in 1998 shortly after the bombings of those embassies in Africa. The only Arab leader -- I spoke to them personally, the only Arab leader they were willing to praise, not to condemn, was Saddam Hussein. Why?
RITTER: Well, I'm just telling you that the fact of the matter is the Iraqi government -- and I'm not an apologist for the Iraqi government, Saddam Hussein is the most brutal dictator I can think of today and from my lips to God's ear, I wish he was dead -- but the fact of the matter is Iraq is a secular dictatorship that has struggled against Islamic fundamentalists for 30 years.
ASMAN: Exactly. So why it that Saddam Hussein supports this secular individual?
RITTER: Well, first of all, I don't think that case has been made.
ASMAN: It's been made not only by Usama bin Laden himself but by representatives of Al Qaeda to me personally on air. We've got the tape. I can show it to you.
RITTER: I'm not disputing that.
ASMAN: You were disputing it.
RITTER: I'm not disputing that people have sat before you and said these things. I'm disputing that Al Qaeda is somehow in allegiance with Saddam Hussein.
ASMAN: Why shouldn't they be? They both want the destruction of the United States. You don't think they do? You don't think Usama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein want the destruction of the United States?
RITTER: Let's keep Usama bin Laden out of this equation because I'm not linking them.
ASMAN: He's directly a part of it. That's the point, Scott, the fact that Usama bin Laden has had, or is suspected to have had contacts, well, just a suspicion when thousands of American lives are at risk. Isn't a suspicion alone enough to really act upon?
RITTER: It's enough for us to be extremely concerned about, but when you want to take action, there has to be justification found in an international law. Let's remember there's two documents every American --
ASMAN: Isn't that what just happened today when George Bush went to the United Nations?
RITTER: No, actually George Bush was dictating to the United Nations, not trying to work with the United Nations.
ASMAN: In what way did he dictate?
RITTER: He said that you must hold Iraq accountable for its actions and if you don't, if you fail to do so, we will step forward.
ASMAN: That's not dictating -- that's just mentioning their obligations under the U.N. Charter.
RITTER: Well, let's remember the United States's obligations under the U.N. Charter, which is to go to the Security Council and seek Security Council action.
ASMAN: But remember who lost the war, Scott. You don't have to be told who lost the war in 1991.
RITTER: I fought in the war.
ASMAN: Exactly. Who lost? It was Saddam Hussein. He signed these agreements as a result of his loss so that he could keep his nation in power.
RITTER: First of all, he didn't sign a single agreement.
ASMAN: The conditions laid out by the U.N. were agreed to by the Iraqis.
RITTER: Correct. But don't say Saddam signed the agreement.
ASMAN: The point it that -- You know it's a dictatorship. Are you here to tell me Iraq is a democracy?
RITTER: No.
ASMAN: So Saddam Hussein clearly allowed his people to accept those documents from the U.N.?
RITTER: Absolutely.
ASMAN: So they were forced to accept those documents saying they would allow U.N. inspectors unfettered access -- and they didn't. Do you deny that?
RITTER: First of all, it's not that black and white. We achieved a 90-95 percent level of disarmament in Iraq. We could not have done that without unfettered access. I got into the sites I needed to get to. Was it easy? Was it pretty? No. Did I achieve a certain level of disarmament? Yes. Did other inspectors achieve a certain level of disarmament? Yes. We fundamentally disarmed Iraq and that's the point that has to be made. We succeeded in eliminating the threat posed to the world by Iraq --
ASMAN: Wait a minute. Even you said 95 percent was destroyed but five percent could not be accounted for, correct?
RITTER: Five to ten percent.
ASMAN: That's a lot of potential biochemical weapons.
RITTER: First of all, it's not just biochemical, it's across the board.
ASMAN: Nevertheless, for a madman like Saddam Hussein, who you just said you'd be for getting rid of in a heartbeat, for him to have 5 percent of that arsenal is still a dangerous thing.
RITTER: Again, let's put this in the proper perspective. Biological weapons -- everybody's concerned about that. Anthrax -- we suffered a horrific anthrax attack here in the United States. Iraq produced liquid bulk anthrax, that's all they ever produced, not the dry powder that we saw here in the United States.
ASMAN: How are you sure about that? You're saying inspectors weren't sure of what happened. How do you know it did?
RITTER: Because this is the finding of the United Nations.
ASMAN: But, Scott, you just said that we're not sure.
RITTER: I'm going to deal with the facts that we know of. I'm not going to get into the hypothetical. What we know is that Iraq only produced liquid bulk anthrax. There is no evidence --
ASMAN: I gotta stop you Scott. You just said we don't know that, we don't know that they didn't produce powdered form of anthrax. How do you know? How?
RITTER: No, we do know that they didn't produce powdered form of anthrax. Because we inspected the facility, we did the testing on the facility.
ASMAN: It could not have been a facility you didn't know about?
RITTER: Well, now you're going off the map.
ASMAN: The guy's got trillions of dollars' worth of oil. Couldn't he have within his --
RITTER: Has millions of dollars' worth of oil.
ASMAN: Well, the reserves are trillions of dollars, if you add it up at 25 dollars a barrel. The point is he's got enough cash to do all sorts of things that we don't know about, correct?
RITTER: No. Again, we deal in the world of reality. Weapons of mass destruction aren't pulled out of a black hat like a white rabbit at a magic show. They're produced in factories. There's science and technology involved. They're not produced in a hole in the ground or in a basement. It's an industrial facility, we investigated the industrial facility, anthrax, liquid bulk deteriorates after three years under ideal storage conditions. The last time he produced it, in 1991 -- we were there from '91 to '98 and never detected any evidence of production. So for Iraq to have anthrax today they would have had to rebuild these factories since the last time inspectors were there.
ASMAN: 1998. You yourself said it would take six months to rebuild those facilities. So they could have built that. They could have built that four, six times over.
RITTER: They could have.
ASMAN: And isn't that a risk that we have to be particularly cognizant of, and if the Iraqis won't allow our inspectors unfettered access, isn't our only option to go in there and take out Saddam?
RITTER: Yes. Now let's get to the bottom line here. The last time we allowed inspectors into Iraq unconditionally, with unfettered access, what happened? The United States took these inspectors and used them to spy on Saddam Hussein.
ASMAN: Wait a minute, are you including your former boss Richard Butler in that category?
RITTER: Richard Butler was totally complicit with it.
ASMAN: Richard Butler, you're saying, was a spy for the United States, not an independent U.N. weapons inspector?
RITTER: Richard Butler allowed the United States to use the United Nations weapons-inspection process as a Trojan horse to insert intelligence capabilities into Iraq, which were not approved by the United Nations and which did not facilitate the disarmament process, were instead focused on the security of Saddam Hussein and military targets.
ASMAN: So you think Richard Butler was an agent of the CIA?
RITTER: Don't put words in my mouth.
ASMAN: I'm asking you.
RITTER: Richard Butler facilitated American espionage in Iraq. Richard Butler facilitated American manipulation of the inspection process.
ASMAN: With the full knowledge of what he was doing? Was he a dupe?
RITTER: Well, that's a question to ask Richard Butler.

Help grow my megachurch or leave!
I was recently surprised to read that Rick Warren is calling other Christians fake and calling for phony Christians to leave his church. He is targeting in particular those who fail to help his multimillion dollar Saddleback megachurch grow. Is the narrow way passé for the finger-pointing pastor?
A country preacher at a church I once attended used to say "when you point the finger of blame you have three fingers pointing right back at you."
How about a pastor helping a Marxist get elected?
How about a pastor being unequally yoked with non-believers who deny Christ? Wouldn't that be fake Christianity? Rick has been yoked with the Left and Islam for some time now despite Paul's explicit command:
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?" (2 Cor. 6:14).
Rick seems to have his own personal definition of "Christianity" and it doesn't look quite the same as the Apostle Paul's.
So who's a fake?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. (Matt. 7:5).
The "Christian" Left, hordes of sheep-like socialist heretics led by charismatic fanatics, almost completely took over Europe at various times in the 13th and 14th centuries. Even after they were largely subdued, they clung to their utopian fantasies and the last one of their line, Wilhelm Weitling, met and influenced Karl Marx. Charismatic leaders like Dolcino in Italy and Thomas Müntzer in Germany, condemned other Christians as fakes, preaching that all property must be held in common and strictly forbidding all private ownership of anything. They plundered, killed, maimed, destroyed and looted churches and waged war against all who stood in their way, conquering vast territories and forcing concessions from powerful princes and popes before finally being overthrown. They were convinced that they were right, based on a cursory knowledge of certain verses of the Bible, and that they were Christ's avengers, based on nocturnal dreams.
Yet nowhere do we read that Jesus or the early Christians had urged Christ's followers to force others to live by their rules.
Jesus flatly rejected the socialists of his day, in so many words telling them to get lost when they dunned Him to initiate a free lunch program.
The socialist heretics had their way in Europe sporadically for about 2 centuries, and then faded away. Their modern day counterparts will do likewise.
But not before causing untold hardship and leading hordes of foolish, gullible souls to perdition.

Andrea Hewitt may race in Rio - coach
World No 1 Andrea Hewitt was a picture of dejection after missing a medal in the women's triathlon at London's Hyde Park.
But national coach Greg Fraine believes the Christchurch athlete can still be a force in Rio de Janeiro in four years.
Hewitt's disappointment was deeply etched as she conceded she was burnt off by four rivals on the all-important third lap of the 10-kilometre run and finished sixth.
She put on a brave smile but she was clearly hurting inside as she said: "I had energy on the first two laps, but just lost it in the third lap when [Australia's] Erin Densham pushed on the downhill."
Switzerland's Nicola Spirig edged out Swede Lisa Norden for the gold medal in a photo-finish sprint.
"I didn't expect they were going to run out like that and switch so many times on the front," Hewitt said.
She summoned enough energy to wave to New Zealand supporters in the stands as she crossed the finish line 48 seconds behind the pair.
Hewitt hinted before her race that this was her second "and probably last" Olympics, but coach Fraine cannot see her quitting yet.
He felt the Olympic race "just came down to run speed on the day".
"Andrea will be pretty disappointed with her performance; she was targeting a medal," he said.
"But she'll look at what she's done and she'll continue to learn. I don't think she's going to be retiring or anything like that. She loves the sport."
Fraine said athletes always asked themselves "a few questions after an Olympic campaign" and "probably go through mixed emotions".
Hewitt was still in her prime and could still be a candidate for the 2016 Games in Brazil.
Wellington's Kate McIlroy, who finished 10th at her first Olympics, said the team's aim was to get Hewitt a medal.
"I don't think we could have done anything more to put her in position. We did the best we could. The other girls just ran faster," she said.
Fraine said the Kiwis executed their race plan well, with Nicky Samuels, who struggled on the swim section, doing her best to ensure the chase group did not catch Hewitt and McIlroy and the rest of the top bunch on the 40km cycle leg around Hyde Park and some of London's top landmarks.
He said it was "a strange race" with "a very aggressive swim", featuring a lot of fighting for space, which caused some splits.
"But to get two in the top 10, we've got to be pretty happy," he said.
New Zealand had two top-10 finishers in the women's triathlon for the second consecutive Olympics. Hewitt was eighth on a more challenging course in Beijing in 2008 and Debbie Tanner was 10th.
She will now support her partner and coach, French triathlete Laurent Vidal, and New Zealanders Bevan Docherty, Kris Gemmell and Ryan Sissons in the men's race on Tuesday night (NZ time).

SQLObject never concurrently uses a connection from more than one thread, but SQLite doesn't like you to ever reuse a connection in a new thread. I've asked if anyone wants to make a test for this (any short repeatable script will do!), but no one ever does. So, probably out of stubborness on my part as much as anything, the bug has gone unfixed. Probably the fix is to make a method sqlobject.sqlite.sqliteconnection.SQLiteConnection.getConnection, which recreates a connection each time it is called. It depends on the overhead involved in making a SQLite connection, but I suspect the overhead is very small (?). If not, then it should keep a pool of connections, keyed by thread id, or using threadlocal storage. TurboGears and some other frameworks have a workaround for this bug, but the workaround causes some other problems. There's also an issue about using in-memory databases with SQLite, if you aren't persisting the connection. I don't know if it's possible at all in a multi-threaded environment, because of that check (unless maybe you created a worker thread and queries were queued on that thread -- which would end up serializing all queries and transactions, but at least would be slightly functional). Really SQLite needs a way of naming an in-memory database, so you can refer to it instead of always creating a new one on demand. At least that's my impression of what :memory: does. -- Ian Bicking / ianb@... / http://blog.ianbicking.org

Policymakers are considering changes to U.S. immigration law that would affect the market for hired farm labor--including mandatory use of an Internet-based employment eligibility verification system and an expanded program for temporary nonimmigrant foreign-born farmworkers.
Labor is an important input to U.S. agriculture--accounting for about 17 percent of the sector's variable production expenses and roughly 40 percent of such expenses for farms specializing in fruit, vegetables, or nursery products.
ERS analysis quantifies the possible effects of a decrease in the supply of unauthorized labor in all sectors of the U.S. economy--including agriculture--and an increase in the number of temporary nonimmigrant foreign-born farmworkers.

The May issue of Total Film magazine featured the first look of Oceans'8. Check scans in our gallery.
The January issue of italian Vanity Fair magazine has reprinted the People's article introducing us Sandy daughter Laila. You can find HQ scans added in our gallery:
Our gallery was updated with digital scans of Glamour Magazine, featuring Sandy on cover.
Sandra Bullock is on cover of Glamour Magazine, in its November issue. She was interviewed by her Our Brand is Crisis co-star Zoe Kazan, and talks about fame, George Clooney, and life. Check out an excerpt below, and read the full interview in the November issue of Glamour, on newsstands October 13.
Zoe Kazan: So I always say to people that if we were in a small town and you weren't a movie star, you would be the rock of the town.
Sandra Bullock: Oh my God. OK. We start crying at the beginning of the interview. I always thought that I'd end up as a waitress in a town somewhere; the oldest waitress, who knew everybody. I liked the idea of making everyone feel comfortable because it makes me feel more comfortable. I'm oddly an introvert. Because of that aspect of my personality, I like the idea of taking care of the team—hoping that someone will, eventually, take care of me back.
ZK: You've talked to me about wanting to be with your son, Louis [now five], and you've said that a project really has to be special for you to commit to it. So what was it about Our Brand Is Crisis that made you want to go back to work?
SB: It was the story, first. This script came along. I went, "Wow." It's couched in this absurdist look at the inner workings of politics, but it represented the people of Bolivia, who are fearless in fighting for what they feel is right. The story, I loved. And then working with [producers] Grant [Heslov] and George [Clooney] was exciting. We have known each other since we started in this business. Literally before any of us had a job.
ZK: How did you meet?
SB: Grant, George, and the person I dated were all friends. I met George at a party where he was doing Buddy Hackett imitations! George was the reason the guy that I ended up dating dated me. He was like, "If you don't get with her, I'm gonna get with her." He was kidding, but sort of pushing. So we've all known each other for umpteen-chillion years and have supported each other from afar.
ZK: I'm impressed with how you've protected your ability to have a personality—and be sensitive to people. Some famous people become desensitized in order to protect themselves.
SB: Yeah, but I don't think your core changes. If you were an asshole before you got in this business, you're just a bigger asshole. I think you are who you are. I didn't get into [this business] till later in life. Who I am as a person hasn't changed. I was already baked.
I have scans from People 'World's Most Beautiful' Issue, that hit stands today. It features a great interview and a beautiful new photoshoot. Check it:
Sandy was chosen People's 2015 World's Most Beautiful Woman, and the magazine will be on stands next Friday featuring her in a beautiful new photoshoot!
People – Despite being in "princess mode" while shooting for this year's cover story, Bullock, 50, insists she just laughed when she heard about the honor. "No, really. I just said, 'That's ridiculous,' " she tells PEOPLE. "I've told no one."
Instead the Oscar winner, who voices a supervillain in the upcoming movie Minions, has found beauty in her role as mom to her 5-year-old son, Louis, adding that their life together is a constant reminder of what's important.
"Real beauty is quiet. Especially in this town, it's just so hard not to say, 'Oh, I need to look like that,' " she explains. "No, be a good person, be a good mom, do a good job with the lunch, let someone cut in front of you who looks like they're in a bigger hurry. The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren't trying."
They also have up a video compilation with Sandy's roles, to prove she's not only the most beautiful, but also the most fun!
Check back this weekend for proper scans.

Neuroplasticity – Brain changes & adaptations
One of our goals is to expand our understanding of neuroplasticity during ageing, and its application to rehabilitation therapies and/or technologies for those affected by ageing and neurological conditions.
The brain operates by nerve cells communicating with each other and forming complex neural circuits through their synaptic connections. Neural plasticity is fundamental to this process, by directing development of the neural circuitry, supporting learning and memory, preserving normal brain function through ageing, and repairing brain injury.
Impaired neuroplasticity is central to many neurological disorders, and promotion or rescue of neuroplasticity has enormous potential to reduce the burden of ageing-related neurological disorder, creating new hope for future treatments of a broad range of disorders, such as PD, HD, AD, stroke and sensory disorders.
The overarching objective of theme 3 is to develop a more complete understanding of neuroplasticity so that it can be manipulated to preserve brain function in healthy ageing, and restore brain function in ageing-related neurological disorders.
In this theme we will address how brain physiology is affected by ageing and ageing-related neurological disorders, and how treatments are best tailored to maintain optimal function throughout life. We will meet the challenge of harnessing and directing neuroplasticity by focusing on three main topic areas: brain injury, such as stroke; brain degeneration, such as AD, PD, HD diseases; and reduced sensory input to the brain, such as impaired vision, hearing and balance.
Our broad goal for each topic area is to understand, manipulate and translate to clinical treatment. Accordingly, research in each of the three areas will be underpinned by studies associated with three general experimental approaches to achieve these goals: understanding mechanisms; optimization of neuroplasticity; and promotion of brain health.

LISP is one of the oldest computer languages and perhaps one of the most influential of the early ones. Some of the other well-known Eisenhower era languages -- Fortran, COBOL and ALGOL, have certainly left their mark, but LISP and derivatives such as Scheme or Common LISP certainly carries more cachet among "serious" programmers. COBOL has always been a bit of an easy joke and Fortran tends to mark you as old-school; use of APL (once a language of mine) would mark you as dangerously reactionary. ALGOL begat Pascal and Modula II and clearly had impact on the C syntax family of languages (including bioinformatics mainstays Python, Perl and Java) As I'll detail below, learning LISP has embarrassingly ended up stuck seemingly permanently on my future plans queue. But that's also because life never forced the issue: while LISP has certainly been used in bioinformatics (as covered in a review from 2016 ) , its mindshare in the community would seem to be very minimal.

Teaching Biology Evidence: Old or New?
I've been toying over a week with writing something based on an interesting Twitter discussion started by Dr. Laura Williams (@MicroWavesSci) of Providence College pondering the best way to approach teaching molecular genetics (really, science in general) at the undergraduate level. In particular, Professor Williams wondered about the dangers of branding various key experiments with the names of the experimenters, such as Hershey-Chase or Meselson-Stahl. The risk she points out is that this can devolve into an exercise in memorizing names and dates without assimilating concepts, or conversely that some students will find the names more of a hindrance than a help. I'm going to play a bit with this, but I do emphasize that for her this is reality and for me it is a hobby (or perhaps a retirement fantasy, if I should ever actually retire). Or in other words, for the academic this is her industry but for this industrial scientist it is academic.

The Curse of Spammotation Lives!
High throughput sequencing of genomes is over twenty years old, which demanded the development of automated pipelines for annotating this data. I've worked on such pipelines since the early 1990s, implementing them as a student and at two different corporate stops. Indeed, we were reviewing results from my pipeline versus some of the other ones out there to see what can be done better. And unfortunately, I've found infuriating problems with RefSeq entries annotated with NCBI's bacterial genome annotation pipeline. Now I'm usually one to sing the praises of NCBI -- they are a key resource for biological research and they make available multiple spectacular public services freely to the entire world. But I'm afraid this time I need to vent.

DNA vs. the Machine
Last week's news contained a story sure to raise eyebrows. A group of computer security researchers from the University of Washington claimed to have demonstrated that they could hijack a computer via sequencing a carefully-constructed DNA fragment. Visions of NextSeqs rampaging through the streets immediately sprung to mind. The paper is interesting and has some useful warnings for the bioinformatics community, but certainly the news coverage has been strong on hype and alarmism.

Computational Biology & Math: Am I Just Faking It?
Over on Quora a common type of question is "Can I be a computational biologist if I am now an X". Personally I take a very broad view and think just about anyone with intellectual curiosity can become any kind of scientist. A related type of question is "how skilled do I need to be in Y to succeed in computational biology", where Y is most often programming, biology or math. I got thinking about this and started wondering whether I am actually at all skilled in math. Here is the results of that analysis.

A Third GridION X5 Pricing Plan
When Oxford Nanopore announced their GridION X5 instrument in March, I and others attempted to parse the difference between the two pricing plans -- and I made a bit of a hash of it. The X5 runs 5 MinION flowcells independently in parallel from a single desktop instrument, which also includes FPGA-based acceleration of basecalling plus a license to perform sequencing-for-hire. Indeed, Matt Loose tweeted out an image of an "X6" and then mention of an "X7"; the X6 had a MinION plugged into the USB port and apparently the FPGA unit can keep up with seven flowcells all running simultaneously. Now Oxford has launched an interesting third "Starter Pack" plan that offers an even lower price point for the system.

STAT Proves Not Resistant To Antibiotic Tropes
Tuesday's Boston Globe carried a piece originating from STAT news on an interesting natural product antibiotic, pleuromutilin. A research group recently published a new total synthesis of this fungal terpene, an advance which promises to enable greater medicinal chemistry around the molecule. That part is cool. Unfortunately, when it gets to the biology of pleuromutilin the piece by Eric Boodman completely spits the bit, trotting out some horribly inaccurate tropes.

What is Prescript-Assist®
Prescript-Assist® (P-A) is a 3rd-generation combination of over 29 probiotic microflora "Soil-Based-Organisms (SBOs)", uniquely combined with a humic/fulvic acid prebiotic that enhances SBO proliferation.
Prescript-Assist's® microflora are Class-1 micro ecological units that are typical of those progressively found resident along the healthy human GI tract. And, with more than 5 years in clinical development and testing*, Prescript-Assist remains one of the most effective probiotic supplements for restoring levels of gastrointestinal micro-flora compromised from antibiotics, medication, poor diet, stress, and digestive abnormalities.
*Prescript-Assist Probiotic was the subject of a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind clinical study (Clinical Therapeutics 2005; Vol 27, No. 6, Pgs.755-761.).
A primary objective of probiotic therapy is to provide therapeutic resistance against pathogen colonization in the GI tract. Prescript-Assist® is unique in this regard as its constituent microflora are representative of those found resident along the healthy human GI tract (vs. most common probiotic products).
Its beneficial/healthy microflora, coupled with a proprietary prebiotic, provide for robust maintenance/enhancement of gut microflora and resistance to pathogenesis. Prescript-Assist's® microflora arguably contribute to better health in their in-vitro and in-vivo demonstrated abilities to produce vital nutritional components (antioxidants, enzymes, etc).
Quite unlike most probiotics that incorporate easily degradable lactic acid based microorganisms, the utilization of Soil Based Organisms in Prescript-Assist® provides for a pH resistant (able to survive trip through the stomach) and shelf stable (does not need refrigeration) product.
Note: Prescript-Assist contains a Colony Forming Unit (CFU) count of 145 million per capsule. This figure is not comparable to CFU's in lacto- and bifido- based probiotic products, where large numbers (billions) are used to try to rectify the massive loss (99%+) during manufacturing, storage, and via stomach acid degredation. Soiled-based organisms, such as Prescript-Assist, are a totally differnt class of pre- and probiotic, so comparisons on a CFU basis cannot be made.
Take 2 per capsules of Prescript-Assist® per day for the first 30 days. 1 to 2 capsules per day thereafter for maintenance or as recommended by your health care professional . A full 30 day cycle of 2 caps per day should be used to reconstitute beneficial gut flora following any prescribed antibiotic regiment.
