Azilect/Sinemet, antidepressants... and elderly

Azilect/Sinemet, antidepressants... and elderly
My mother (75 year-old, osteoarthritis, depression) was diagnosed with PD one month ago. I was worried about slowliness, confusion and lack of concentration and, suspecting dementia, led her to a neurologist. To my surprise, after a very brief evaluation, the doctor saw it clear: mild PD, predominantly in the right side. He prescribed Azilect, as he found her functional state to be fairly good, and Azilect could be neuroprotective, slowing PD progression.
Azilect seemed to be attractive, but I read about it, and I saw contradictory information about neuroprotection, and, importantly, about interactions with antidepressants. My mother has been on escitalopram 15 and mirtazapine for three years (maybe three years with non-diagnosed PD).
So, I seeked a second opinion. We live in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and it is not easy to find highly specialized doctors, but I had the luck to get an appointment with the chief of the Unit of Movement Disorders in our University Hospital. Afther a more thorough examination, this second doctor confirmed mild PD, but did not recommend Azilect at all. He said Azilect is not the best option for elderly and, specially, he said that interactions with antidepressants could be severe. So, he put my mother on Sinemet Plus (25/100): 1/2, 1, 1/2, slowly introduced, with the aim of having a 1-1-1 protocol.
Some weeks ago, Mum started Sinemet and she seems to have some good effects (balance, stiffness), but I am a bit surprised to see more tremor and eye fasciculations, which I do not know if could be attributed to Sinemet.
And my worst worry is if Sinemet is really the best option. I know of its medium-long-term effects, and I would like to delay its use... But, at the same time, I do not want to prevent my mother to have good quality of life (I do actually think that PD was limiting her life a lot).
So I would like to ask you about the options Azilect/Sinemet. To your knowledge, or in your experience, does it make sense to start Sinemet in an old person, even if her symptoms are not very severe? Would it Azilect a better option? any insights about risks of interactions with antidepressants?
I do not even know if we could cut Sinemet Plus now, but I have conflicting feelings about this otherwise miracle drug.
Please, excuse for this long post. But I feel insecure with my English and want you to understand our situation.
I am stressed, worried and shocked, but happy to have found you.
Thank you very much in advance!

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A 50-year-old Brooklyn Park man is accused of setting a fire in the laundry room of the apartment complex he lived in after an argument with the building's management, according to charges filed Friday in Hennepin County Court.
Donald Thompson was charged with first-degree arson in connection with the incident, which happened Tuesday.
According to a complaint, fire crews were called to the Willows Apartment complex on the 6500 block of 67th Avenue North on a report of a fire in progress. When authorities arrived, the fire was still active and tenants had to evacuate the area.
Authorities said the fire appeared to start in the laundry room on the third floor of the complex. It also appeared to be suspicious as there had been at least two previous fires in the same spot in the past six months. The fire caused smoke and other fire-related damage to the laundry room and hallway of the building.
The laundry room where the fire started is next door to Thompson's apartment, the complaint states.
Surveillance video identified Thompson as the person responsible for the previous fires in the laundry room. He was arrested the morning after the fire this week, but denied any involvement in the arson.
He was then shown surveillance video of himself setting the fire on Tuesday and admitted to being responsible for it, the complaint states. He set the fire by throwing lit matches onto a liquid on the laundry room floor. He then heard an explosion and saw that the room was on fire.
Thompson told police he set the fire because he wanted to move into a smaller unit in the complex, but management wouldn't allow him to move for a reduced rent.
If convicted, Thompson faces up to 20 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.

His curve for learning is shortening. He's learning things on the fly. He's wanting to get better every night he steps on the floor —Tyrone Corbin, coach
Game 4: San Antonio Spurs (3) at Utah Jazz (0), 6 p.m. MT, Monday at EnergySolutions Arena (TNT)
SALT LAKE CITY — Coach Tyrone Corbin said he'd "probably" stick with the same starters tonight in what could be the Utah Jazz's final game.
But Corbin left the door open for inserting second-year big man Derrick Favors into the first five in this must-win Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs.
"We'll look at that," Corbin said.
The second-year coach has been impressed with the play of the 20-year-old, who has averaged 10.3 points, a team-high 9.3 rebounds and played stifling defense in 26.3 minutes per game this series. Favors averaged 8.8 points, 6..5 rebounds and 21.3 minutes during the regular season.
"He's done a great job," Corbin said of the 6-10 Favors. "Whether (it's) him starting or just finding a way, I think we do need to find a way to get him more minutes on the floor. His development is coming up that fast. How we do that we'll see going forward."
Though Favors is only shooting 39.3 percent from the field, he's been the most consistent Jazz player overall this series. In fact, San Antonio has only outscored Utah by one point in the 79 minutes in which Favors has been on the floor. In the 65 minutes with Favors on the bench, the Jazz have been outscored by 57 points.
Corbin said Favors' "competitive nature and desire" have really stood out. His progression has, too.
"His curve for learning is shortening. He's learning things on the fly. He's wanting to get better every night he steps on the floor," Corbin said. "His determination and desire to win and compete is really showing now. Even though we haven't had success winning games that we want, he's really demonstrating that he has that other level in him."10 comments on this story
The losses are stoking a growing fire inside of Favors, his coach believes.
"He feel like somebody takes something away from him every loss," Corbin said. "You look at his face and you watch his demeanor — he's really (ticked) after the loss. You want it in everybody. It's great to see."
Corbin is excited to see what it makes Favors do, too.
"It's a bad taste in his mouth. He don't like it," Corbin said. "He want to get better and he want to compete, and that's the thing that will drive you to continue to work to get better."

Bike First! Was recently featured on KPTV 12 News. Click here to read the article and watch the video.
Bike Week is a magical experience for everyone. Kids blossom and beam with pride over their new-found skill, volunteers cheer, and parents tear up to see their child take flight, alone, for the first time. Bike First! is open to children 8 years and up; meaning there is no cap on the end age!
People who experience a variety of disabilities have had success at the clinics—some of these conditions include Down syndrome, mild to moderate autism, mild cerebral palsy, visual impairments, extreme fear of falling, fine motor skills, and other developmental delays.
Bike Week 2014 was a great success! NWDSA's Bike First! is proud to promote inclusion by teaching individuals with disabilities the skills needed to ride typical bicycles.
"Bike First! is more than a bike camp for disabled children — it's a family, a support network, a cheer leading squad and a one-stop miracle zone. Every participant takes his or her first solo pedal strokes to the sound of thundering applause, and every participant is honored in front of the group in a closing ceremony. It's a time to shine and grow and triumph." Heidi Swift, The Oregonian
"We strongly support the Bike First! mission and congratulate all participants for their efforts in this worthwhile event... we'll be back with our support!" Craig H Dodge, Director/VP, Ideate, Inc.
"As a cyclist, seeing the look on someone's face as they ride a two wheeler for the first time defies words. We all know what a positive addition biking can be to all of our lives, to watch it happen is magical." Dave Guettler, Owner, River City Bicycles"Being part of Bike First! was a very fulfilling event in my life. It helped open up a new life long activity for these families. It allowed them be included with their peers, promoted a healthy life style, and shared in the simple pleasure of a bike ride." Clark Mason, Bike First Volunteer Spotter

Analysis: The loyalist riots were raised in Stormont on Monday under a mechanism that limits debate and tends to see the main parties presenting a united front. But the veneer of public unity across the political divide did not last long.
Sitting for the first time after its five-week Christmas holiday, the Assembly discussed the issue as a 'matter of the day', normally a late addition to the order paper dealing with tragedy, crisis or congratulation.
Speaker Willie Hay reminded MLAs that "matters of the day should not be used for political point-scoring" and urged to "bear in mind the dignity of the chamber".
But, despite a restrained start, the session ended with both the First and Deputy First Minister heckling political rivals from their seats.
Martin McGuinness was particularly angered with DUP Finance Minister Sammy Wilson. Though not recorded in Hansard, the Assembly's official report of proceedings, Mr McGuinness could be clearly heard shouting "time's up, time's up" as Mr Wilson ended his speech with a caustic attack on Sinn Fein, saying that its past violence (through the IRA) had not worked but now found themselves in a British parliament. In what would have been an extraordinary barb in any other legislature, Mr McGuinness twice shouted across to the third most senior member of the Executive: "Rabble rousing".
When Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle, whose Newtownards Road office has been picketed daily by loyalists for weeks, accused Mr Robinson and Mr McGuinness of "an abdication of leadership", the First Minister shouted "boycotter" several times from his seat, a reference to Alliance's decision to leave the Executive group attempting to draw up an anti-sectarianism strategy.
From above in the press gallery, it was clear that Mr McGuinness was speaking from just a few scribbled notes on a blank page. But there was forceful political intent behind his words which appeared to show strains in even the seemingly solid McGuinness-Robinson relationship.
Before the debate, a Sinn Fein source had claimed that the party wanted a joint Robinson-McGuinness public statement – such as those after dissident republican atrocities – but Mr Robinson would not agree to the proposal.
Though it was covert, Mr McGuinness appeared to publicly press his Stormont Castle colleague to agree to that proposal, citing the example of "standing together" shown in the wake of the Massereene murders and the murders of Stephen Carroll and Ronan Kerr.
The protestors may not succeed in returning the Union Flag to City Hall but they have again exposed the brittle forced relationships at the heart of Stormont.

Additional Work
Missing Available Tabs:
If there are any missing tabs from the available tabs list, then send me the details so I can generate a resource file.
Extra Features (To Do):
At some point I will update the app to read the configuration keys (if available) and generate the file using the order defined there (plus re-generate the keys to keep disabled tabs disabled).
If anyone is interested, I can add icons to help determine the states of the tabs...just need some graphics!
Possible State Icons for tabs:
Tab Installed & Present - in the tab control file & on the device (Installed Fine)
Tab Not Installed & Present - not in the tab control file but on the device (i.e. Available to add)
Tab Installed & Not Present - in the tab control file but not on the device (!Warning State! Sense will probably fail to run)
Tab Not Installed & Not Present - not in the tab control file or in on the device
Also the icon could indicate if the source is from XML file or the tab control file (only applies to the installed ones - not installed ones will always be xml).
User Manual
I'll try to update this with new information as and when I get time, hopefully the app isn't too difficult to understand.
Control Sense Page:
This page controls sense...
[Start Sense]:
If sense is not selected in the Today Plugin, this adds and triggers sense to start.
[Stop Sense]:
If sense is running, or set in the Today Plugin to run, this will remove it and trigger it to close.
[Restart Sense]:
This will cause sense to restart (by removing and adding it from the Today Plugin).
Note: Any changes to your Tab Control File (26948339_manila) are ignored.
[Reset Sense]:
The same as [Restart Sense], but will also cause it to re-build by removing the ManilaFull.xml file.
Note: If you have changed your Tab Control File (26948339_manila) any changes will be re-built in this process.
[Full Reset Sense]:
The same as [Reset Sense], but will also delete the configuration registry keys (this is required when you add/remove tabs for them to initialise correctly and for them to show up in the Tab Re-arrange page within the Sense Settings Tab).
Note: Any tabs disabled via the Sense Settings Tab will be re-enabled!
[Soft Reset]:
This simply restarts your device, quite often sense will not re-start correctly without at least one reset.
Tab Control File [Update]:
If you have generated a new Tab Control File (26948339_manila), this option will replace your existing file (creating a timestamped backup within the SenseUtil folder) and [Full Reset Sense].
Tabs (Loaded) Page:
On start up, this page shows the contents of the Tab Control File (26948339_manila).
Once you have made adjustments to the list, you can build a new file (which you can then view using a suitable text editor and check if you wish).
Tab Source [#]:
This toggles the source of the tab data:
Default=Your original Tab Control File
File=The loaded xml resource file
If the tab is not available (the xml file does not exist) then the source will not change. Also if you delete and re-add a tab which was in your tab control file, it will not be able to be set back to Default - you will need to Reload the data fresh.
Remove [-]:
Removes the tab, the tab will no longer be installed.
Shift Up [^] and Shift Down [v]:
Allows you to adjust the default positions of the tabs.
Tabs (Available) Page:
This page will show you the tab's which are available (loaded from the Resource Folder xml files).
When you select an item, you will be able to see if the tab's keyfile is Present On Device or not, this provides an indication of if the files required for the tab are on the device
Note: Only the keyfile is checked - there will be additional files required for the tab/sense to function.
Various details about the tab are also available, if a custom tab links to the tab's development and release pages should be provided.
Add Tab [+]:
Allows you to add a tab to your Tab Control File, if the tab is not detected as Present On Device you will be warned that Sense probably will not start (you will need to install the correct tabs files on your device).
Add All [+All]:
This will add all the tabs which are detected as Present On Device but not currently in the Tab Control File.
Only the keyfile is checked - there will be additional files required for the tab/sense to function. So be sure you have correctly installed all the required files for a particular tab.
Settings Page:
Provides various options for the app.
Register to Today Softkey:
[Left][Right][Set Action/Contacts)]
Only recommended if you use the app a lot as it provides an easy way to start up/control sense if it has not loaded.
[ ] Advanced View:
This allows you to see all the data which the app collects about the installed/available tabs and uses to do what it does. Useful for debugging issues with the resource files or problems with the app itself.
[Reload Files]:
This will read in your Tab Control File again, and reload all the resource Xml files (for the available tab list).
Note: Any changes you've made to your Tab Control File in the app will be discarded.
Command Line Options:
SenseUtil add 6B54437C_manila
- Adds the specified tab, leave other tabs as they are
SenseUtil renew
- Replaces all tab details with data from the xml files (leaves any not found in the xml files as they are)
SenseUtil addall
- Adds any tabs which are not in the tab control file but found on the device (checking for the key mode9 file), the other tabs are left as they are. New tabs are added at end before settings tab.
SenseUtil addallnew
- As above, but other tabs are replaced with details from the xml files (leaves any not found in the xml files as they are)
SenseUtil remove 6B54437C_manila
- Removes the tab if installed on the device
By using the shortcuts, it is assumed that SenseUtil is installed to device location:
i.e For FbTab: Add Shortcut: 54#"\Windows\SenseUtil\SenseUtil.exe" add 51B6F88A_manila Remove Shortcut: 57#"\Windows\SenseUtil\SenseUtil.exe" remove 51B6F88A_manila
1. Before using the shortcut you must install the correct files for the tab in the correct location (if files are not present the tab will not be added).
2. System may need Soft-Reset (turn off and on again) for sense to restart correctly (you will be prompted to wait and see if sense starts).
3. The order set by the settings tab will be reset by this process.
=============================== Application Manifest - What I Planned To Achieve =============================== The plan is a simple program which reads the tab control file (file 26948339_manila) and allow you to add/remove tabs using a simple xml file to provide the correct info. MoonNah's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670116) B_L_Group_FixStartManila_2.5.cab is an excellent tool which simply re-generated the list based on the files it found within the windows dir, worked well except there was no indication that is was successful or what it had done. I think it would be quite simple to extend the idea a little further by creating an app with a gui which then searched it's local folder for xml files. The xml files will be named to match the key mode9 filename for each tab: i.e. RSS Tab = \windows\htc\people\RssFeed.mode9 = 6B54437C_manila So there would be a xml file called 6B54437C_manila.xml which contains the data for the tab:So the app would look for each of the xxxxxxxx_manila files in the windows directory and then allow the user to add/remove any tabs which are present on the system. This would also allow users to totally disable any "problem" tabs more effectively than via the config keys. The xml files could also have a full list of required files (which could also be checked), perhaps a link to obtain the latest release, the app could then be released with xml files for all current tabs and any new ones so users can easily see what is available and obtain them. The app would also handle the disabling and resetting of sense so that the changes are correctly made. Also the app could support command line option to install a specific tab if present (not making any changes to the others), which can then be used by cab files. Note: Software is able to set today screen softkeys for easy use, but a proper soft-key manager is available here if you decide you want to set them to something different: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388281 I will have a try at making the app myself but my time is very limited so any help will be greatly appreciated. But I do think that such a program would be very useful for those who have problems editing their tab control file (file 26948339_manila). Let me know what you think? ====================== Language Title Fixes ====================== Custom Tabs (like RSSTab/Facebook Tab display IDS value on 1st run) This is because the translation file used for the tab titles is separate to the tab's own language file. I will update senseUtil to allow the users to update the files using a shortcut, but until I've completed and tested that, I've included a zip file of the required files. CAB INSTALL: Install meltwater_LangTitleUpdate_v01.cab. - 155views Reset sense. MANUAL INSTALL: - 149views Unzip and copy the files into your devices \windows\ directory, and then reset sense. Please let me know if you have any problems or if you have updates for the contained translations (I've only updated the ones I've already got translations for).Code:<Page Order="X" Name="rssfeed.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_RSSTITLE]]"> <ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\People\RSSFeed.mode9" Component="SummaryAllPage" SmartComponent="true"/> <ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\RssFeedicon.mode9" Component="RssFeed_Off"/> <ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\RssFeedicon.mode9" Component="RssFeed_On"/> <ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\RssFeedicon.mode9" Component="RssFeed_Preview"/> </Page>
Language Title Fixes
Custom Tabs (like RSSTab/Facebook Tab display IDS value on 1st run)
This is because the translation file used for the tab titles is separate to the tab's own language file.
I will update senseUtil to allow the users to update the files using a shortcut, but until I've completed and tested that, I've included a zip file of the required files.
Updated language files are contained within the SenseUtil cab file, please update the file language files and post them here (they will get included in the next cab).

Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Virginia
I was in the parking lot of a bar , when I was approached by bouncers, they said I had to leave the premises , but when I tried to get in my car I was assaulted by them thrown to the ground, hand cuffed and held down to the police came. When the police came I was arrested for a gun charge. I had a gun on me but I feel the whole incident was illegally done. I just wanted a professional opinion .
1 Answer from Attorneys
How so,("the whole incident illegally done")? You admit to having a gun but provide no details as to how this weapon came to be on your person. Do you have a valid concealed carry permit? Are you, perhaps, a known felon forbidden to own or possess such a firearm in any manner whatsoever? Was there a sign posted at the bar forbidding guns on the premises? Had you at some point brandished the weapon, i.e., removed it from where it had been concealed and pointed it (not necessarily at any person)?
Until these as well as other related questions have been answered, you're unlikely to get the "professional opinion" on this matter that you've been seeking.

A Bum with Heart
>> Read more Ken Rodriguez Articles | Contact Ken
Ed Knight is a Baseline Bum with a history. He's been around so long, he can't remember exactly when he joined the drum-banging, cowbell-ringing fan club of the Spurs.
Was it 1973? Maybe 1974? All Knight knows for sure is he became a Bum briefly in the 70s, quit for several years, returned in the early 80s and has been cheering hard ever since.
"I think I'll be able to keep going another four years," says Knight, who is 77. "After that, I don't know if my knees will hold up."
How to Become a Bum
The Baseline Bums have a limited number of vacancies and are currently accepting membership applications for the 2010-2011 Spurs Season. In addition to the application, those interested will be interviewed by Bum membership committee members to ensure they understand what the requirements are and review Bum benefits. The Bums are looking for die-hard Spurs fans who are willing to donate 25 hours of Spurs designated volunteer work in lieu of discounted season tickets, pay $35 annual membership dues, and support the Spurs in an enthusiastic, positive manner.
If you'd like more information on the Baseline Bums or would like to apply for membership, please contact Giovanni Rosselli at (210) 444-5570 or firstname.lastname@example.com
In the beginning, Knight was a Bum who harassed and heckled, the kind who sat behind the opponents' bench and tormented the visiting team. "You hear stories about how the Baseline Bums used to spill beer on opposing players," he says. "Well those stories are true."
Today, he is a Bum with spirit and compassion, the kind who raises money for charity and spends 25 community service hours each year on behalf of the Spurs. "We collect blankets and jackets and give them to the poor," he says. "It is very moving because the people are so appreciative."
Knight joined the Baseline Bums before Tim Duncan was born 34 years ago. He's been around basketball even longer than that. He took up the game as a boy in the 1940s and played for Fox Tech High School in the early 1950s. Knight spent four years in the Navy – serving after the Korean War and before Vietnam – returned to San Antonio and began knocking down shots in the City League.
"I played ball all the way 'till I was almost 40 years old," he says. "I hated to stop but my fingers and legs weren't holding up."
Back in the day, he worked as an illustrator at Lackland Air Force Base and then at Fort Sam Houston. He made drawings, posters, slides and illustrations for books. "It was pen and ink work," he says. "Black and white."
He retired as an illustrator and became a water color artist by day, a Baseline Bum by night. You may see Knight's work displayed at a Starving Artist show. Or you may see him whooping it up with fellow Bums at the AT&T Center. He can tell you stories that pre-date the George Gervin era.
"I used to go to basketball games before we even had the Spurs," he says. "They used to bring the Houston Rockets over here to play about three games a year. We got all excited about being able to see pro ball."
Knight has seen a lot of pro ball. He's attended Spurs games in three arenas across parts of five decades. He remembers the Bums from the 70s were an edgier, quick-tempered bunch. Once at a bar in the old HemisFair Arena, Knight says, a fellow Bum slugged it out with a Houston Rockets fan over a disparaging remark about the Spurs.
"If you said something against the Spurs in those days," Knight says, "you were in for a fight."
Current Bums don't throw guacamole at visiting coaches, as another generation of Bums famously did in 1976. Today's Bums volunteer at charitable 5K runs, usher school children through the AT&T Center and help raise money for the Gervin Academy, the Spurs Foundation and other non-profits.
"We do quite a few events," Knight says. "If anyone from the Spurs organization says they need help, we volunteer."
Over the years, Knight has become a fine volunteer. He's been a fervent fan from the beginning.
"Every year it seems I get more excited," he says. "This year I'm really anxious to see the team. I think we've got a good contender, even though other teams like Miami and L.A. have built up. I think our nucleus is just as strong as when we won the championship."
He's most excited about the arrival of Brazilian Tiago Splitter, who won Most Valuable Player honors in the Spanish League last season and played well against NBA competition at the recent FIBA World Championships. Knight imagines Splitter and Duncan as Twin Towers 2.
"I almost have the feeling of David Robinson and Duncan all over again," he says. "Two big dominating guys. I have such a good feeling about this year.
"I wish there was a game today."

Representatives of Better Homes, one of Dubai's leading real estate firms and considered by many to be the emirate's premier address for the regional property market, recently called for tougher regulation of the real estate industry.
"The boom of the property industry has seen some players come in for short-term gains, lowering the ethical standards within the industry," said Linda Mahoney, CEO of Better Homes, according to Gulf News.
The statement came despite the fact that the firm has experienced impressive performance, and will soon be celebrating two decades of success in Dubai's real estate sector. Along with Dubai's expanding property market, Better Homes began small and has grown at a staggering rate since; Better Homes currently employs more than 400 staff, and boasts the largest selection of property in the region.
In recent years, said Mahoney, claims of rogue agents cheating investors out of their money have risen. She advised all potential investors to first seek legal advice before making a purchase.
"Think of investing in property as if you were having an operation. You wouldn't let just anyone perform surgery on you…so why trust just anybody with your property?" she said.

After many months of often testy negotiations, The New York Times Newspaper Guild of New York members have agreed to a new contract. Some details of the new deal, per the Guild:
Within the next 30 days, Times Guild members will receive a 3 percent bonus, and starting March 31, 2013, they will receive the first of three 2 percent annual raises. Starting in 2014, they become eligible for an incentive bonus of up to 2 percent, based on the same plan that covers upper managers, and which would have yielded a payout of 1.1 percent, based on its recent average. The contract expires on March 30, 2016.
The union's president, Bill O'Meara, credited the Times staffers' efforts in establishing a new contract.
"The level of engagement and activism among members at the Times has been greater than anything I've seen in my 24 years at the Guild," O'Meara said, in a statement. "Without it, we would never have been able to accomplish what we did."

Caution urged over pregnancy diet claims
Low birth weight babies can suffer health problems later
A study saying that eating badly in pregnancy has little effect on the birth weight of the baby has been criticised by nutrition experts.
The research, by scientists at Oxford University, found that babies of mothers from industrial countries weighed the same at birth regardless of the amount of food eaten by the mother, or any vitamin supplements used.
There is a direct correlation between birthweight, and the size of the placenta, and the future health of the child.
But a scientist from the British Nutrition Foundation insists that eating a well-balanced diet during pregnancy is still a must for mothers-to-be.
More than 1,000 pregnant women from the UK were invited to take part in the survey, which asked them about their eating habits.
Smoking and height taken into account
After making allowances for obvious factors like smoking, and the height of the woman - both known to influence baby weight - the researchers found no obvious difference between babies born to women with widely differing eating habits.
And when vitamin supplements were considered, only vitamin C appeared to have any beneficial effects - and even these were described as of "doubtful clinical significance".
The research concludes that while severe malnutrition of the mother, like that seen in developing countries, can have a detrimental effect on the child, among relatively well-nourished women, diet had only a "marginal" effect.
But Dr Sarah Schenker, a nutrition scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation, said there were good reasons to eat well during pregnancy.
The mother suffers, not the child
The most important, she said, was that while poor nutrition rarely affected the unborn child, the health of the mother was a completely different matter.
She said: "The baby will take what it needs from the mother, regardless of what she is eating."
A growing foetus needs calcium and iron, and if the woman does not take on enough supplies, will have to hand it over from her own metabolism.
This shortage of calcium could lead to brittle bone disease in later life.
And despite the fact that folic acid had no discernable effect on birthweight, Dr Schenker said that taking it in the months leading up to conception, and during pregnancy had been shown to reduce the number of congenital deformities.

They toed the line and came out swinging.
With the heavyweight belt on the line, Calgary challenger Joffrey Reynolds had his last chance to deliver the final blows when he faced Winnipeg's defending champion Charles Roberts at Canad Inns Stadium last night.
Reynolds entered the match leading the CFL in rushing with 1,467 yards on 244 carries with Roberts on his heels with 264 rushes for 1,409 yards. It was, however, the final regular-season game for Reynolds while Roberts still has another left.
But when the final bell rang, Roberts had already successfully defended his rushing crown -- his third in the last four years. He also took a giant step towards getting the nod as the Eastern MVP.
Roberts finished with 151 yards and one touchdown on 27 carries while Reynolds, who rushed for 162 yards the last time the two played, was held to 74 yards on 15 rushes.
"It feels good," said Roberts. "The rushing title is what I wanted, I got it and I'm satisfied ...
"Joffrey had an amazing season. He stuck around to the end and I give him a lot of credit for that. My belief is that it should have been over weeks ago. He had a good season and I'm proud of it because he stuck in there and he helped to carry his team to a playoff year also."
His Bomber teammates certainly enjoyed the dramatics.
"What better stage could you have than the two guys up for the rushing title to play in the same game and to contain one and let one loose?" said defensive back Kelly Malveaux. "That was a tremendous effort by the O-line to get him the yards that he got."
While Reynolds may finish with a better average, Roberts has been playing behind an injury-riddled O-line all season.
"They deserve something special and I'm going to come through for them," Roberts said.
"It's my first rushing title and it feels great," said former Ottawa centre Obby Khan. "Considering the obstacles we had to go through this year, the offensive line played exceptionally well and we're getting better.
"We told the coaches we wanted to put the ball on our shoulders and we wanted to run (last night), and the coaches let us do it."
The Bomber defence also played its part.
"It was great that we could help him claim a title he deserved this year and finally put to rest that big debate between which back is tops," said defensive lineman Doug Brown.
"It wasn't really a big deal to me," Reynolds told The Canadian Press. "You don't have to have the most yards to be considered the best."
And he still believes he's the best.
"I most definitely do," he affirmed.
Roberts has now rushed for 1,500 yards in four straight seasons.

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
FJ Community,
Please share your Double Eagle stories.
I just recorded my first today at Sun Hills Golf Course. Hole #9, 513 Yard Par 5. Hit a solid drive and 3 wood with four players on the hole in front witnessing as the ball passed between two of them and into the hole.
It was totally blind to me and my partner. When I arrived at the hole all 4 were congratulating me and shaking their heads about how far the shot was.
240 yards with a three wood, are you kidding me!!
groovy! more rare than a hole in one...congrats...their ain't no other double eagle stories, as no one else has had one..and you need not solicit other's stories to share your own!
I've had one - but was really an ACE - dogleg pair 4 - three-wood in the Hole (about 30 years ago).
This year - witnessed my course's pro make double eagle on a Par 5 - Driver - 7 Iron (hole as playing down wind about 510). The neat thing about this double eagle was this one was his second double eagle on the same hole (happened 10 days apart) - same driver/7 iron combination.
No such luck yet for me. Closest I've come was about two inches from the cup on a par 5. Getting harder every year as my distance drops.
Still waiting for that miracle !
WOW! Congratulations Striker! The elusive Double Eagle is something that I cannot say I have scored myself, or even witnessed.
Bobby - congrats to your Pro as well - two within 2 weeks! Amazing!!!
Nope never had one, knocked one about 2 feet from the hole last weekend. I have found that I don't have much control on 250 yards 3 wood hits.
great shot ! congrats
Congratulations indeed!!!!
-ICONs for ALL
Like pulplvr, no luck as of yet. Congratulations on your double eagle-- Isn't that also called an albatross?
I've never come close to a double eagle. Reality check: I'll need to tee it from the forward tees if I want to have the chance.
I had one last summer at Thorny Lea Golf Club near our Brockton Facility, holed a 5 iron from 217. I toed it ever so slightly, but I couldn't argue with the results!
the closest i've come was within about 2 inches on a short par 4. would have been great to have both my first hole-in-one and first double eagle at the same time.

4-H is much more than the county fair
As you are reading this, the 2009 Douglas County Fair is in full swing and Douglas County 4-H is there in full force.
More than 400 4-H members are exhibiting items in the 4-H Building, showing animals or have exhibited in events held prior to the fair, such as Demonstration Day and Food Review, Clothing and Textiles Day, dog show and the horse show.
When people think of 4-H the fair is generally one of the first activities that comes to mind, but in reality that is just one of the myriad of activities that 4-H members and their families can participate in.
4-H has expanded beyond the fair and come to encompass many facets of youth development for youth in grades kindergarten to one year past high school.
4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. So how does 4-H accomplish this? Through a variety of programs and opportunities for all youth.
4-H in Douglas County has been present in afterschool programs for the past five years. 4-H Afterschool meets in the school on set days and provides a wide variety of educational activities from hands-on science, Lego robotics, sewing and more.
For young people, 4-H Afterschool provides opportunities to participate in fun, exciting programs while developing valuable skills with lifelong benefits. For parents and family members, 4-H Afterschool creates safe, healthy, enriching environments that enhance young people's social, emotional, physical and academic success.
4-H also provides short-term activities or 4-H Adventures. 4-H Adventures are short-term programs specialized by specific subject matters such as performing arts, technology, animal science or nutrition and fitness.
4-H clubs are groups of the same youth who meet on a regular basis at least six times a year, provide community service and give the youth an opportunity to demonstrate a skill or share an experience in a group setting.
Most of these clubs take the form of the traditional community 4-H club that meets once a month in a set location, with families and members attending. The members live in the same area or community or have shared interests.
There are other opportunities for clubs to form as well. A site-based club is a club experience designed to reach youth where they live or already meet: public housing site, mobile home park, neighborhood community center, a home school group or other host location.
Afterschool clubs are offered during afterschool hours and typically meet weekly or monthly throughout the school year. There could also be project clubs based around and focused on a specific project area, such as an aerospace club or computer club.
All of these clubs provide opportunities for 4-H project work, exhibiting at the fair and developing life skills.
If you are interested in any of these 4-H opportunities, contact the Douglas County Extension Office at (320) 762-3890 to sign up or for more information. See you at the fair!

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) – There are plenty of unexpected things taking place with the Wizards, as they jumped a game above .500 for the first time since 2009 with a win against the Blazers Monday night.
When a young team begins to show signs it's taking that next step – and success begins to manifest through wins for a team which hasn't made the playoffs in six seasons – it may be difficult for fans to identify these little positive changes occurring.
Like for instance, when 10-year veteran Trevor Ariza steps up and tells All-Star point guard John Wall he wants to be the one to guard Damian Lillard, the Blazers' top scorer, in the crucial final minutes of the game.
"Last night I told John that I wanted to guard him these last five minutes of the game," Ariza told 106.7 The Fan's Grant and Danny on Tuesday. "Just to give 'em a different look, just to change it up a little bit, let John go play the passing lanes a little more, because he was real active in the passing lanes."
Although Wall is putting up career numbers in his fourth season, Ariza is actually putting up career numbers — highest shooting percentage from beyond the arc (.394 percent) and second highest points total (14.3 points per game) – as well.
One change which may not be so subtle with these Wizards, is the emergence of second-year guard Bradley Beal, who's besting his rookie season in points per game, three-point percentage, free throw percentage and assists.
Ariza has high hopes for Beal, who he strongly believes has the potential to become a 20,000-point scorer in the NBA.
"I just feel like he can score any time he touches the ball," Ariza said. "He works hard on his game, he works on his body — he has little problems with his lower body, but he works hard on that – he's always in the gym, always trying to get better."
"I look at Brad, I think he can easily get 20,000 points in this league," he said. "Without a doubt. He's gonna be a very good scorer in this league."
To give you some perspective of what that means, retired players to have scored 20,000 points range from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Adrian Dantley, with the list of active players to pass the threshold including names like Ray Allen and LeBron James.

Abu Yusuf Ya'qub ibn Ishaq ibn as-Sabbah al-Kindi, who flourished at the court of the Khalifah Ma'mum, A.D. 833, and who translated numerous classical and philosophical works for the Abbaside Government. De Slane says his father Ishaq was Amir of al-Kufah, and his great great grandfather was one of the Prophet's Companions. It was at one time supposed he was a Jew or a convert to the Jewish religion, while others tried to identify him with the author of an Apology for Christianity, entitled Risalatu 'Abdi 'l-Masih ibn Ishaq al-Kindi, in which the writer explains to a Muslim friend his reasons for holding the Christian faith, in preference to Islam, whose acceptance the latter had pressed upon him. But it has been proved that al-Kindi, the philosopher, and al-Kindi the author of the said treatise, are two distinct persons, although both living at the court of al-Ma'mun and belonging to the same tribe.
Dr. J.M. Arnold, in his Islam and Christianity, p. 372, says the Risalah, or treatise of al-Kindi, is quoted as a genuine production by the celebrated historian, Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Biruni (dies A.H. 430), in one of his works in confirmation of his statement that there were human sacrifices offered up in Arabic prior to the time of Muhammad.
The Apology of al-Kindi has been rendered into English by Sir William Muir, from an edition in Arabic published by the Turkish Mission Aid Society.

Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) in Investment Treaties
21 August 2012
Professor Luke Nottage says the ongoing arbitration claim of 'expropriation' that Philip Morris Asia initiated under the 1993 Hong Kong-Australia bilateral investment treaty should not feed into a blanket rejection of any forms of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) in investment treaties.
In an article for East Asia Forum, Professor Nottage says an alternative for the Federal Government is to amend the 1993 treaty to suspend Philip Morris Asia's pending claim.
"More generally, Australia should consider including ISDS provisions in future treaties but expressly reserve its right to agree with the treaty partner to suspend particular types of claims, such as claims regarding public health issues," he writes.View the entire article - Treaty-based investor-state dispute settlement mechanisms not all bad - East Asia Forum

Collecting and Storing Breastmilk
by Anne Smith, IBCLC
There are many situations in which a mother may need to pump milk from her breasts. Some are short term--for example, occasional separations, mother on medication incompatible with breastfeeding, breast engorgement, severe nipple soreness, or increasing milk supply. Some are long term--a premature hospitalized infant, or regular separations such as those encountered with returning to work or school. Whatever your reasons for expressing your milk, certain tools and techniques can help you be successful in obtaining the milk you need and maintaining your milk supply.
First, you need to decide if you need a pump, and if so, choose one that meets your individual needs. For occasional short- term separations (such as a weekly evening out) a manual pump or hand expression may be adequate.
I think every nursing mother should learn the technique of hand expression, because it can come in handy on so many occasions. You may need to soften your areola (the dark area around the nipple) before the baby nurses to make it easier for him to latch on, you may want to express a little milk in the shower if your breasts are uncomfortably full or you have a plugged duct, or you many want to express a little milk directly into your baby's cereal bowl once he starts solids. There are many occasions when you just want to get out a little milk but not empty the whole breast, and at these times you may not need to use a pump at all.
This is the basic technique for hand expression:
While there is always some milk in your breasts, it is easiest to hand express when your breasts are full, especially in the morning.
The techniques described above may sound complicated, but they really aren't once you practice a little. Some mothers are very successful at manual expression, but others find it frustrating and tiring. It is not a good method to use on a regular basis, or to use after feedings when the breast is relatively empty. It usually takes at least 20-30 minutes to empty the breast with hand expression or manual pumping.
I often talk to mothers who are trying to use hand expression or manual pumps and they say things like, "I sat there for half an hour, and only got one ounce of milk. What's wrong with me?" The answer is "nothing". The problem is that they are only getting out the small amount of foremilk that collects between feedings, but aren't getting their milk to let down. If the milk is not letting down, you will see drops of milk slowly dripping out, but not spraying or spurting out. If you are pumping and only getting drops (and this applies no matter what type of pump you are using), stop and go back to the suggestions above to get your milk to let down. Continuing to pump or express while only getting drops will just frustrate you and make you tense, making it less likely that your milk will let down and flow freely.
Manual pumps are portable and relatively inexpensive. They are fine for occasional use, or for the mother who has an abundant milk supply and an efficient let-down reflex. All manual pumps work on the principle of creating a vacuum that creates pressure which causes milk to flow from an area of high pressure in the breast to an area of low pressure in the pump. It is important to remember that no breast pump is as efficient as the baby at removing milk, and manual pumps are generally less effective than electric ones.
There are three types of manual pumps: the rubber bulb pump which looks like a bicycle horn (avoid these - they are terribly inefficient, hard to clean, and can damage your breast tissue), the cylinder type which consists of two cylinders, an outer one and an inner one, which generates a vacuum when it is pulled in and out, and the squeeze handle pumps. Squeeze handle pumps generate suction when you squeeze and release a handle. They can be very effective, but can cause your wrist and arm to tire quickly with the repeated use, so are not a good choice if you have arm or hand problems such as arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome.
While there are many brands of manual pumps on the market, I like the Medela's new ManualEase the most.
Make sure that the flange (the funnel shaped part) of the pump fits correctly. Some, such as the Medela pumps, come with adapters that fit inside to adjust for different size breasts and nipples. The nipple and areola should be surrounded by the flange. The flange should not extend way past the areola, and the areola should not extend way past the flange. If the flange fits correctly, part of the areola and all of the nipple should slip comfortably and easily into it. While Medela's pumps have a flange size that fits most mothers, (most don't need to use the plastic inserts), some mothers with very large nipples may need the PersonalFit Breastshield kit, which can be used with any of Medela's pumps and contains two different size flanges.
When you are ready to start pumping, moisten the flange (or you may want to use a few drops of olive oil) and center the nipple in the flange. Follow the instructions on the pump, because the technique will differ depending on which type of pump you are using. If the pump has an adjustable vacuum (and it should--all of Medela's pumps do), start out on minimum and increase as your milk starts flowing. Most pumps will give the better results on the higher suction settings, but if your nipples are sore or your breasts are tender due to engorgement or infection, keep the pump set on the lower setting. Some mothers get better results with medium suction levels and higher cycling speeds if you are using a pump like the Pump In Style which allows you to adjust the cycling.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions on cleaning the pump. Only the parts that actually touch the milk need to be cleaned, and usually hot soapy water or running them through the dishwasher is all that is needed, although they can be boiled as well.
The earlier suggestions about encouraging let-down and alternating breasts apply to manual as well as hand pumping.
There are a number of electric pumps on the market. Some are terrible, some are not so bad, and some work quite well. In general, the small semi-automatic pumps like the Gerber and Evenflo are not very effective. Because of their small size, relatively low cost, and battery options, these are big sellers in the department and baby stores. Many people buy them without realizing that there are tremendous differences in electric pumps. Anyone who has told you that she tried and electric pump and it didn't work, or it hurt, was probably talking about one of the small semi-automatic models rather than the more expensive hospital or professional grade models.
Some of the problems with these pumps (besides the fact that most of them just don't work well and many mothers say they hurt) are the fact that they are noisy, and use up batteries quickly, so they become expensive to operate. If you do run a pump on battery power, use alkaline batteries, and replace them frequently because as they wear down, the pump will take longer and longer to generate suction and you will get fewer cycles per minute.
I have heard so many negative comments from mothers throughout the years about these pumps that I can only recommend one--the Medela MiniElectric. Most small electric/battery type pumps do not cycle automatically. You have to put your finger on a hole or a button and release it repeatedly to create intermittent suction. Since babies nurse about once every second, ideally a pump should cycle between 40 and 65 times every minute. With these semi-automatic pumps, it is difficult to get them to cycle more than 10 times per minute. The MiniElectric cycles automatically about 32-34 times per minute, which much more closely simulates a baby's sucking pattern. Because this is still not as many cycles per minute as a baby generates, the MiniElectric is only recommended for occasional use. If you are a stay at home mom, and want to pump every now and then so you can have relief bottles, this may be the right pump for you. It is much more efficient and easier to use than hand or manual expression, and is great for travel because of it's small size and battery option.
If you are going to be pumping regularly, or if time is an important consideration, you really need to be double pumping with a larger, more efficient (and more expensive) professional or hospital grade pump. In situations where you must be separated from your baby for extended periods of time, such as a premature infant, and the only stimulation your breasts will receive is from the pump, you ideally should use a hospital grade pump such as Medela's 015 Classic. This type of pump is much heavier than other pumps, and would cost about $1450.00 to purchase, so most mothers rent it. It provides the best possible stimulation for maintaining your milk supply when medically indicated.
Some insurance plans will pay the cost of rental for hospitalized infants. Call Medela's toll free number (1-800-TELLYOU) to find a rental station in your area.
There are two other professional grade Medela pumps available for rental or purchase that provide adequate pressure and stimulation for frequent, long term use, and allow double pumping. These are the 016 Lactina Select (available for rental) and the PumpInStyle (available for purchase). All three types of pumps (015, 016, and PumpInStyle) meet the criteria for optimal suction pressure and cycling, and allow you to single or double pump and adjust the suction levels. The Lactina and the Pump In Style also allow you to adjust the cycling speed.
When a baby nurses he generates about 200-250 millimeters of negative pressure and sucks 45-60 times per minute. Pumps that provide pressure levels above the high 200s can cause pain, and levels below 150 are not effective at removing milk. The most efficient pumps create pressure levels between 200-230 millimeters and cycle about once every second or so. Medela's ManualEase, MiniElectric, PumpInStyle, 015 Classic and 016 Lactina Select all have pressure levels around 220 when set on maximum.
Double pumping is an important feature. Not only does it cut your pumping time in half (from 20-30 minutes with single pumping) to 10-15 minutes or less, but your prolaction levels are higher when you double pump, so you actually produce more milk in less time. This is especially important when you are pumping frequently, or when you are working or in school and have limited break time in which to pump.
Don't be surprised if you get more milk from one breast than the other when you double pump, because each breast functions independently of the other. Some mothers will get 3 or 4 times as much from one breast as the other, and some will notice only a subtle difference in the amount they get from each side. It would be unusual for each breast to produce exactly the same amount.
The 016 Lactina Select is portable and popular with working mothers. It costs over $700 to purchase, so most mothers rent it instead. Some mothers prefer to rent rather than purchase a pump because they want to try a professional-grade pump before purchasing one, or because they only plan to nurse for a short time.
The Lactina can be used with optional vehicle lighter adapters or Power Packs if you need to pump in your car or don't have access to an electric outlet. See product information for more information about these convenient options, and where to rent a Lactina.
The PumpInStyle is the only portable, autocycling, professional-grade breastpump for sale to mothers. I think it is by far the best pump on the market, and it is the pump most popular with mothers. It is an excellent choice for mothers who want convenience, portability, and efficiency. It's a great investment, especially if you intend to breastfeed long-term or are planning to have more children.
(These guidelines apply to milk that will be given to healthy, full-term babies. If you are expressing milk for a sick or premature baby, check with your doctor or hospital staff regarding collecting, handling, and storing your milk).
Human milk can be safely stored in glass, hard plastic bottles, plastic freezer bags, or polyethylene milk storage bags especially designed for storing breast milk. While you have many options for storing your milk, I recommend the CSF bags made by Medela. They are pre-sterilized and lined with nylon that keeps fat cells from adhering to the sides. They are designed to protect the nutrients and anti-infective qualities of human milk. They are thicker than the bottle liners sold for use with disposable bottle systems, which may split during freezing and may cause a decrease in the antibodies and fat which adhere to the sides of the bags. They also take up less room in your freezer, and the milk thaws faster than milk frozen in hard containers. There has been a controversy for years over glass versus plastic containers for human milk. While glass is good for storing frozen milk because it is non-porous, it has disadvantages. The most obvious is that it can break, and you don't want to waste any of your 'liquid gold'. Don't use glass bottles if you are going to store the milk for less than 24 hours, because some of the white blood cells will adhere to the glass, but not to plastic. Since the cells detach after 24 hours, the composition (glass versus plastic) doesn't matter if you are freezing the milk. Since many of the white blood cells are destroyed by freezing, it makes sense to refrigerate milk whenever you will be using it within 8 days, and use CSF bags especially designed for storing human milk when you must freeze it. They protect the immune factors as well or better than glass, they don't break, they take up less room in your freezer, and they thaw out faster. Plus, they are easier to find. Have you tried to buy glass bottles lately?
You may want to freeze your milk in ice cube trays. Clean the tray first with hot soapy water and air dry. Each cube is about an ounce, so you can pop out as many ounces as you want and put them into freezer bags. They are great to have on hand for snack or cereal feedings when you just need an extra ounce or two.
When storing milk in bottles, wash them in hot soapy water and air dry. Choose a top that fits well. You can boil them if you want to, but it isn't really necessary. CSF bags are sterile and don't require any preparation before use.
When milk is frozen, it expands, so leave about an inch at the top of the container to allow room for expansion.
Put only two to four ounces of milk in each container, or the amount your baby will take at a single feeding. Smaller quantities are easier to thaw, and you avoid waste this way. It's always good to have some smaller amounts on hand for snack feedings, or to offer if your baby finishes one feeding and is still hungry. You can add fresh milk to a container of frozen milk as long as there is less fresh milk than frozen. Cool the milk for 30 minutes first. For example, you can add 2oz. of fresh milk to 4oz. of frozen, but not 4oz. of fresh milk to 2oz. or frozen. You don't want it to thaw and then refreeze.
Label each container with the date it was expressed. If you are taking it to day care, put your baby's name on the label. Medela's CSF bags have a label area that stays flat even when the bag is full. Since the composition of human milk changes to meet your baby's needs as he grows, always use the freshest milk possible.
Storing Human Milk
Whenever it is possible, give your baby fresh milk that has been refrigerated, not frozen. Freezing kills some of the live cells and antibodies in human milk, but not all of them. Since formula doesn't have any of these anti-infective properties to begin with, frozen milk is still better for him than formula. If you are planning to use the milk within eight days, refrigerate it rather than freezing it.
Because human milk is a living substance, its antibacterial properties help it stay fresh longer than formula. How long you can store it depends on the temperature.
With all these guidelines, remember that fresh milk which has been stored at room temperature or in a cooler before being placed in the fridge or freezer may not keep as long. That's why you should always place milk in the fridge as soon as possible after expressing it.
New research indicates that milk that has been offered to a baby but has not been heated can be kept at room temperature for up to 4 hours, or 24 hours if you put it in the fridge right away. Once the milk has been heated, it can sit at room temperature for up to 2 hours, but then should be discarded. Milk that has been heated and offered to the baby can be refrigerated within 30 minutes and offered again for the next feeding, but discarded after that. These are the guidelines I've suggested to mothers for over 10 years, and have never heard of any problems.
When a refrigerator isn't available, put the milk in an insulated container with icepacks. The PumpInStyle comes with it's own built-in insulated container and icepacks, making it ideal for transporting milk home from work.
Handling and Thawing
Human milk may separate into layers of milk and cream during storage. Gently shake it to mix the fat that has separated.
Breastmilk may look bluish, greenish, yellowish, or brownish according to what you have eaten recently. Foremilk expresses at the beginning of a pumping session may look thinner and bluish, like skim milk. Hindmilk expressed later in the feeding may look thicker or creamier, and have a yellow tint. The yellow tint is especially pronounced during the first week or so of nursing while the milk still contains colostrum. Your milk may smell 'soapy' after it is frozen and then thawed. This is due to changes that occur during the freezing process, and is not harmful to the baby. Breastmilk isn't spoiled unless it smells really bad or tastes sour.
You can pump directly into refrigerated milk as long as you add the milk within 24 hours of when the original milk was expressed. If milk has been stored at room temperature, you can pump directly into it as long as you do it within eight-ten hours. You then need to use the milk as soon as possible.
If you plan to use the milk within 8 days, don't freeze it. If you do plan to freeze it, do so within 24-48 hours of expressing it. The sooner you freeze it, the better.
To defrost frozen milk, place it in the fridge the night before you're going to use it. This takes about twelve hours. If you need to thaw it quickly, run it under warm water that is gradually warmed, or place it in a bowl of water that is gradually warmed. Don't use hot water, and NEVER heat it in a microwave. This can destroy the live antibodies in the milk, and may also create 'hot spots' than can burn your baby's mouth, even though the container may not feel hot to the touch.
Many babies don't care if the milk is served cold right out of the fridge. It won't upset their stomach, and will save you or your caregiver a minute or two, which can be really important if your baby is frantically hungry. If you want to try cold milk, be sure to run the nipple under warm water if it has been refrigerated. Most babies dislike cold nipples more than they dislike cold milk.
How Much Milk to Leave for Your Baby
