The road out of Minnesota seemed to be clear for Kevin Love on Thursday night, but less than a day later it appeared that any talks are back to square one.
According to multiple reports, the Cleveland Cavaliers are not interested in trading Andrew Wiggins, the 2014 NBA Draft's No. 1 overall pick, in a package for Love — one they were set to deliver less than 24 hours earlier.
"As reported yesterday @FoxSportsOH (and in middle of night), Andrew Wiggins has not been offered in any potential deal for Kevin Love. Still," tweeted Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio.
Wiggins scored 21 points in his last game of the summer in the Las Vegas Summer League, and impressed early with multiple highlight-reel plays. The addition of Love, who LeBron James reached out to personally, would provide a stable presence down low to complement James and guard Kyrie Irving.
The Timberwolves are looking for a building block for the future if they are to part with their star. A three-time All-Star, Love will become a free agent at the conclusion of the 2014-15 season. He has told the Timberwolves he will not re-sign.
Minnesota is said to to be in talks with the Warriors as well, and are looking to receive guard Klay Thompson in return. Thompson reportedly would be moved with David Lee and Harrison Barnes, who have already been offered up as trade fodder.
Thompson is said to be off the table, which has created a stalemate in any attempt to deal Love.
The Associated Press' Jon Krawcynski tweeted: "Andrew Wiggins has not been offered for Kevin Love. Klay Thompson has not been offered for Kevin Love. This is where things stand."
Wherever Love plays, a decision won't be made in the imminent future.
Lance Stephenson doesn't want to be known as the guy who blew in LeBron James' ear.
Stephenson said during his introductory news conference Friday in Charlotte he's "a little upset" that the ear-blowing incident in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals against Miami is how some people have defined him as a player.
"I feel like it overshadowed my play on the court," Stephenson said. "I bring more to the table than just blowing in someone's ear. I'm a great player."
Hornets general manager Rich Cho agrees, which is why the club signed Stephenson to a three-year, $27 million contract Friday. The deal includes a team option for the third season.
Cho says the 23-year-old Stephenson brings competitiveness, scoring ability, a defensive presence and a wealth of playoff experience — all things the Hornets need to take the next step and become a perennial playoff contender.
"I think he'll be a great fit," Cho said.
The Hornets, who ranked near the bottom of the NBA in 3-point field goal percentage last season, expect Stephenson will help them in that area. Stephenson shot 35 percent from beyond the arc last season. He also proved versatile in other ways.
He led the NBA with five triple-doubles and posted career highs in points (13.6), rebounds (6.9) and assists (4.2).
But Stephenson's intense competitiveness also has a dark side.
He was called for 17 technical fouls last season — third-most in the NBA — and was also involved in a practice scuffle with teammate Evan Turner. He's been known to talk trash, occasionally taking himself out of the game and hurting his team.
Dwight Howard doesn't believe the departure of Chandler Parsons will have a major impact on the Houston Rockets' title hopes next season.
"It won't affect us at all," Howard said Friday of Parsons signing a three-year, $45-million deal with the Dallas Mavericks.
Parsons was a three-year starter that complemented Howard and guard James Harden.
"We have myself and James," Howard said. "We have the best center and the best two guard in the game on the same team. It's on us."
Howard, who spoke at his father's 10th annual Howard/Howard basketball camp in Atlanta, said he wishes his former teammate well with the Mavericks. But Howard said he and Harden will be able to carry the load without the 25-year-old Parsons, who had career highs with 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and four assists for the Rockets last season.
This has been a busy offseason for Houston. The Rockets hosted Carmelo Anthony before making a four-year max contract offer to Chris Bosh, but Houston was unable to sign any of those major free agents.
Houston also lost role players Omer Asik, Jeremy Lin and Omri Casspi. The Rockets acquired veteran forward Trevor Ariza in a three-team trade this week.
Howard, 28, said the addition of Ariza was "big" for the Rockets.
"He'll go through a wall for you," Howard said of Ariza, who were teammates with the Orlando Magic. "Just to have soldiers on your team like that is great. We have that one-two punch with me and James. We're filling out our roster with guys who are willing to go through that wall and doing whatever it takes to win."
The Lakers have remained active in free agency over the past week and continue to retool their lineup by re-signing Xavier Henry, first reported by ESPN Los Angeles.
Henry, 23, signed a one-year deal, worth just over $1 million to return to Los Angeles after he exited early with a torn ligament in his wrist. Last season, Henry averaged 10 points in 43 games and shot 42 percent from the field.
He'll join a roster that includes recently signed Carlos Boozer, Jeremy Lin, Nick Young and Jordan Hill to go along with draft pick Julius Randle and Kobe Bryant.
Henry is the No. 12 overall pick in the 2010 draft by the Memphis Grizzlies and has yet to excel in the league. He's averaging less than six points per game in his career.

Takapuna: Café Melba
Sean's coffee art a hit at Café Melba
We've got some great cafes on the Shore and one of the best is Café Melba in Takapuna. It is a favourite of locals for great hospitality, great food and great coffee. You are always greeted with a smile and most regulars are known to all the staff by name. Café Melba is celebrating its fifth birthday in Takapuna this month.
At Café Melba you'll also find some of the best coffee art – also referred to as latte art – from super-creative barista Sean Kim. His work is now legendary in Takapuna.
Sean, originally from South Korea, has been making coffees for 10 years. The past three with Bobby and Sonny, the owners of Café Melba Takapuna. He loves making coffee that tastes good but also believes that it should look amazing. Presentation is very important, so he is constantly working to come up with new designs and techniques.
"I love the smile I get from customers when they see what I have created," says Sean. "It inspires me to keep creating new designs and improving what I do."
Sean has around 80 designs that are made using many different techniques. Pouring milk cleverly and using tooth picks, spoons or stencils. The kids – and big kids – love his cartoon characters from the latest movies. He regularly receives visitors who have seen his designs posted by their friends on social media sites, coming into the café with their own design requests. During the birthday week he will be showcasing some new designs.
Café Melba Takapuna opened its doors in 2007. A year after its opening, immigrant couple Bobby Zhuo and Sunny Cao bought into the business and an on-going goal for the couple has been to provide the ultimate café experience to customers, whether new or repeat. Despite challenging economic times, the café has grown in popularity and success, building on the model developed by Melba Group with the inaugural Café Melba on Auckland's Vulcan Lane.
"It's an honour to be part of the Takapuna community, and that's truly what we are" says Bobby. "The five year anniversary of Café Melba means so much to Sunny and I. Shawn and Jens (the other Director for Melba Group) are doing a great job of growing the Melba Group, which leaves us to be able to focus on growing the Hurstmere Road café – it's our top priority, and we look forward to the next five years."
During the café's birthday week, from 6th August – 12th August, the public can expect to be treated to a visual spectacle of a window design commemorating that week. Children will be treated to free face painting during the hours of 10am and 1pm in the weekend by expert paint artists from Imaginaire. Additionally, one lucky customer will win a gourmet gift basket featuring treats like wine, coffee, tea.
Cafe Melba on Hurstmere: 62-78 Hurstmere Road, Takapuna. Phone 489 0091.
Open: Mon-Thu 7am-4.30pm; Fri 7am-5.30pm; Sat 8am-5.30pm; Sun 8am-4.30pm.

The Perfect Engagement Ring
Have you been searching for the perfect hint-dropping picture to show to your boyfriend's best friend? Or perhaps you've found this page searching for the perfect ring for to make your girlfriend into your wife? I've found it. This is a ring that any woman will love whether she's conservative or wild, girly or tom boy, hipster or prep.... trust me. It's lovely for any girl.
And it's relatively wallet-friendly for an engagement ring. Get the Hexagon Ring with White Diamond (starting at $590) by Satomi Kawakita at Catbird (a staple for beautifully designed jewelry). It's customizable in size of course, but also in band metal and diamond size. So if you were looking for something flashier, you can get it. The price goes up to more than three thousand dollars. But I like the pretty lower-priced options better anyway. You can even get the ring with a champagne diamond.
Good luck on your engagement-to-be!
Bling On!

One of the big changes in journalism these days has nothing to do the death of print or any other medium. Rather it's this: journalists have a wide array of new, powerful tools available for news and information gathering.
"I hate the term 'computer-assisted reporting. It's as ridiculous term as 'notebook-assisted reporting,'" said Steve Buttry, The Gazette's editor turned "information content conductor," when we talked for last month's Corridor Business Journal "Fifth Estate" column on how journalism education needs to change to be relevant.
Indeed, all reporting is computer assisted these days. At least it should be. Google alerts and RSS feeds can push a constant stream of relevant information to journalists (and can be further filtered and refined with tools such as Yahoo Pipes); Twitter, Facebook and other social networks can make finding sources easier; Publish2 and Reporting On give journalists the ability to collaborate with each other (and, now, with readers, too).
Many journalism educators haven't incorporated these tools (or even more mainstream tools such as blogging) into their classes, perhaps because they're resistant to change or simply don't know about them. But computers (and that means the Web) are now integral to a reporter's job.
Part of the problem with journalism and journalism education moving forward, Mr. Buttry suggested, is the old-school mindset that "computer-assisted reporting," a now outdated term for the database- and data-driven reporting, is a separate discipline from, you know, "regular" reporting.
So let's stop wasting time debating whether students or reporters can live without online tools. Whether their producing multimedia, interactive databases, cops-and-courts, education, television, long-form features or wahtever, journalists need to understand the Web. Period.

I first heard of the Center for Plant Conservation throught the Garden Club of America's Partners for Plants. The latter project was held only on federal lands where groups of members helped botanists maintain and monitor at-risk plants in their habitat. These efforts were expanded to state lands as well after the Partners learned of the coordinated work being done across the country by the CPC network of professionals. Guidelines, protocols, priorities and long-range strategies are maintained for the participating institutions and their scientists.
It is an exciting and successful concept that is helping the survival of at-risk plants of possible medicinal or climatic enhancing qualities. The need is great. The time is short. Join the Center for Plant Conservation 4651 Shaw Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63110-2299 to save a rare plant today!
Previous Stories
The Center for Plant Conservation is the best kept secret in the World of Conservation. For over 25 years it has been dedicated to saving rare and endangered plants acrosws the United States by partnering with its network of botanic gardens to protect and save our native plants. From gathering and storing seeds to growing them at their partner institutions, to restoring them in the wild they have been at the forefront of learning and teaching techniques which will assure our children and grandchildren having the genetic diversity available that would otherwise be lost forever. Today they are the protectors of almost 800 plants that were doomed to extinction. And they are dedicated to continuing to work to save those plants which are almost daily becoming rare and endngered.
I have been involved with the Center for Plant Conservation for many years. It is the ONLY national organization solely devoted to the conservation of rare and endangered plants. It is effective in its work because it works directly with botanical gardens across the country in addition to the federal agencies. The staff are top notch professionals.
CPC has authored at least two highly respected books that have become the "Bibles" of plant conservation.
Anyone interested in the flora of North America (including Hawaii) would benefit by learning about CPC and supporting its conservation efforts.
The Center for Plant Conservation is meeting the challenge of plant conservation in the US by creating a network of botanical gardens with the expertise and facilities to assess field populations, restore habitats, reintroduce rare species to the wild, and learn about he biology of rare plants. The Center has effectively worked with federal partners to secure funding for plant conservation and to offer training and outreach to federal and state government, plant resarch institutions, and the public.

Pregnancy can be a time of great wonder and excitement as you prepare for the birth of your baby. One of the great blessings of pregnancy is that your body and nature take complete care of the nourishment of your little one during his time inside your body (as long as you eat well). Who could design a machine that could reproduce and nourish its offspring so beautifully as this? You don't even have to think about how to do it!
One decision that does merit a conscious choice on your part is the first food that will nurture your baby once he is born. Will it continue to come from you or will you buy it from the shelves of a grocery store? Does it matter? You probably wouldn't have picked up this book if you didn't already have some idea of the benefits of breastfeeding and the possible undesirable consequences of feeding artificial milks to babies as a first choice. Even so, you may be surprised to find out how much your decision matters.
Assuming that pediatricians are the accepted medical experts on the needs and health of babies and young children, let's start with what their professional organization has to say on the subject of infant feeding. The American Academy of Pediatrics issued its first policy statement in support of breastfeeding in 1977, and in 1997 it followed up with a much stronger statement. In 2005 the AAP found it necessary to replace its 1997 policy statement with a newer version, because so many important recent studies corroborated what common sense had always recognized—that breast is best.1
Excerpts from the American Academy of Pediatrics'
Policy Statement on Breastfeeding
and the Use of Human Milk
· Human milk is the preferred feeding for all infants, including premature and sick newborns, with rare exceptions.
· When direct breastfeeding is not possible, expressed human milk, fortified when necessary for the premature infant, should be provided.
· Breastfeeding should begin as soon as possible after birth, usually within the first hour. Except under special circumstances, the newborn infant should remain with the mother throughout the recovery period. Procedures that may interfere with breastfeeding or traumatize the infant should be avoided or minimized.
· Newborns should be nursed whenever they show signs of hunger, such as increased alertness or activity, mouthing, or rooting. Crying is a late indicator of hunger.
· Appropriate initiation of breastfeeding is facilitated by continuous rooming-in.
· No supplements (water, glucose water, formula, and so forth) should be given to breastfeeding newborns unless a medical indication exists.
· Exclusive breastfeeding is ideal nutrition and sufficient to support optimal growth and development for approximately the first six months after birth.
Now let's turn to another health authority, the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO ranks the safety of milks in the following way: first, the baby's mother's milk taken directly by the baby from the mother's breast; second, the baby's mother's milk taken from a bottle; third, the milk of another mother; and last, bottle-feeding of artificial milk formulas. Please note that the WHO does not say that artificial milk formulas shouldn't be consumed but that it is better for the baby if they are used only as a last resort.
Here is a very practical reason to begin nursing your baby. When you choose to feed your baby this way, you are preserving your ability to have a choice about your feeding method. You can always stop breastfeeding and switch to artificial feeding later. What is there to lose? On the other hand, if you begin with artificial feeding and then find that your baby is allergic to several different products (which happens sometimes), it can be quite difficult to switch back to breastfeeding.
Artificial Milks Don't Measure Up to Human Milk for Babies
It should not come as any surprise that the most desirable milk for a human baby is human milk. It is the most complete and perfect food for babies, just as camel milk is best for baby camels and cow's milk is best for calves. Breast milk even tastes better to young humans than other milks do. I've met many adults who were breastfed until the age of four or five who can recall the taste of their mother's milk, and each remembers it as incredibly delicious. Do you know anyone who buys infant formula because it is so delicious or who even has fond memories of it? I don't.
The composition of breast milk varies from mother to mother, and the composition of a given mother's milk varies according to her baby's needs. This means that if your baby is born prematurely, your milk will automatically adjust itself to contain the most advantageous mix of nutrients for him at his particular stage of development. No matter how many claims a manufacturer of a substitute milk formula makes about its similarities to breast milk, any substitute milk, no matter what brand, is quite different from human milk and is an inferior food source for human babies. As the AAP says, the superiority of human milk for human babies stands whether we are talking about the baby's growth, its development, or all other short-and long-term outcomes.
Immunologically speaking, mother's milk is medicine as well as food. It contains living cells, many of which will coat the mucous membranes of your baby's entire digestive system, protecting him against all kinds of bacteria and viruses. Artificial milk products do not contain any living cells, because anything that once lived in any formula concoction was long since killed during the production process. The protection offered by breast milk is important because, during birth, your baby leaves the sterile environment of your womb and sticks his head out into the highly contaminated environment outside. His system is not fully prepared for this shock, and he can use all the protection he can get.
Exclusive breastfeeding (meaning that a baby consumes nothing but his mother's milk) until the age of six months will continue to protect your growing baby's digestive tract, reducing the risk of allergy-causing foreign proteins entering his system. Such protection is especially important in families with a history of allergies, whether these allergies manifest as asthma, a specific food allergy, dermatitis, or allergy rhinitis (runny nose). Some babies started on artificial milk have to be switched from brand to brand several times during the early weeks of life because of their inability to tolerate these products. After the age of six months, babies begin to produce enough of their own antibodies to protect their intestinal walls against food antigens that may cause allergies.
Another strong reason for the ideal of exclusive breastfeeding for six months is that babies' digestive systems are just not sufficiently developed before that time to digest solid foods well. Incomplete digestion can cause intestinal pain, diarrhea, gas, inconsolable crying, and, in severe cases, damage to the baby's intestinal tract.
Babies who get artificial formulas instead of mother's milk miss out on these benefits and are more open to infection. Strong evidence shows that in all populations, in both wealthy and poor countries, these babies will have a higher incidence and severity of many serious diseases, including bacterial meningitis, bacterial infection of the blood, diarrhea, respiratory-tract infection, serious gastrointestinal infection, middle-ear infection, urinary-tract infection, and late-onset infection in premature babies.2–13 And, according to one study, preemies who are fed artificial milk formulas have a higher incidence of the kind of blindness (retinopathy of prematurity) that has long been associated with premature birth.14–15 Published research has shown that more than 1,000 childhood deaths per year in the United States could be prevented through breastfeeding and that for every 1,000 bottle-fed babies in the United States, seventy-seven hospital admissions are likely to result. Compare this with the five hospital admissions that can be expected for every 1,000 breastfed babies.16
And there's more. Several studies have suggested increased rates of sudden infant death syndrome in the first year of life, as well as a higher incidence of diabetes mellitus; childhood cancers such as leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, and lymphoma; overweight and obesity; asthma and high cholesterol levels in older children and adults who were fed artificial milks compared with those who got their mothers' milk.17–22
Breastfed babies are not only healthier; there is some evidence demonstrating that they tend to be more intelligent. Several studies on the development of intelligence in babies have shown that the feeding of artificial milks was associated with lower performance.23–25 A study involving about three hundred premature babies who were too small to suckle compared those given breast milk with those who received formula through a tube. When the two groups were IQ-tested at the age of eight years and the mothers' social and educational status were taken into account, the breastfed children scored significantly higher on the IQ tests than their formula-fed counterparts did.
Does this mean that a baby who is bottle-fed on formula will not be as intelligent as his breastfed sibling? I certainly wouldn't go that far, especially if the formula-fed baby receives high-quality loving attention while being fed. It's possible that the bottle-fed babies in some of these studies received less of their mothers' touch while feeding, since bottles can be propped on pillows, leaving the mother free to do something else while her baby feeds. Babies need more than milk to thrive—they need love expressed through touch. Skin is our most sensitive organ, and touch is the first language we speak. There is a lot of evidence from studies of other mammals about how important licking and touch are to the good health and even survival of their newly born young, and there's plenty more showing that human babies who are cuddled and given plenty of touch when young grow up to be more comfortable "in their own skins" than those who grow up deprived of touch. My opinion is that babies fed on artificial milks, particularly preemies and babies under the age of three to four months, need to be held as close to the breast as breastfed babies are, so they get the cuddling and loving touch they need and deserve. This is true as well if Dad is the one holding the bottle.
Breastfeeding is also the best analgesic for babies. Mothers who breastfeed their babies during painful procedures—for example, the heel poke to draw blood (sometimes called the PKU screening), which is generally given to babies within the first ten days of life—often find that their babies cry little if at all.26–27 The analgesic effects also extend to times when a baby has his first cold or flu and, like the rest of us, feels miserable. Breastfeeding then becomes an especially valued comfort for both mother and baby.
Artificial Milks Are Frequently Recalled
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been busy for decades issuing statements about "recalls" of artificial milk products that have been contaminated in various ways or that lack essential ingredients. See Appendix B for a list of FDA and firm recalls and warnings that took place in the United States during the first decade of the twenty-first century. Between 1982 and 1994, there were twenty-two significant recalls of various brands of artificial milks in the United States, with seven of these involving contamination or ingredients that were potentially life-threatening to babies. If you do need to use formula feeding at some point, be a smart shopper.
It's important to remember that when certain lots of formula are listed as "recalled" on the FDA website, many packages and cans from that lot have already been bought and fed to babies. How many mothers go to the FDA website to make sure that they're not feeding their babies a contaminated product? Not many, but if you feed your baby formula, this is the smart thing to do. Such recalls have been going on for decades, and it seems likely that they will continue, if past experience is any indication. Need I say it? Breast milk has never had to be recalled.
Health Advantages for Mothers Who Breastfeed
As many biologists have pointed out, Mother Nature is no fool. Her design for breastfeeding provides health benefits for mothers as well as babies. One of the most important benefits has to do with the role played by the natural hormone oxytocin. It is released from the mother's pituitary gland during labor, rising to higher levels as the baby is being pushed out of the vagina and peaking with the expulsion of the placenta. When the baby stimulates the breasts by nuzzling and licking the nipple or by breastfeeding, even more oxytocin is released in the mother. It causes uterine contractions (sometimes called "afterpains"), which hasten the process of the uterus returning to its prepregnant size. When such contact between mother and baby is facilitated, the advantage for the mother is a much-reduced chance of late postpartum hemorrhage; oxytocin is nature's way of preventing hemorrhage following birth.28Women whose babies are fed on artificial milks miss out on this antihemorrhagic benefit. They also miss out on the suppression of ovulation and menstruation that accompanies unrestricted breastfeeding. At six months postpartum, women who have not had a period, are not supplementing with artificial milk regularly, and are not going longer than four hours between daytime feedings or longer than six hours between night feedings have less than a two percent chance of becoming pregnant.29–31
Moms who breastfeed generally return to their prepregnancy weight more quickly than those who don't.32 They get to eat an extra 500 to 600 calories a day and still lose weight (which is rather nice if you enjoy eating). And many studies show that if you are a working mother who decides to breastfeed, you are likely to miss fewer days of work, because your baby will be healthier.
Breastfeeding also has a positive long-term impact on women's health. Women who don't breastfeed have an increased risk of both breast cancer and ovarian cancer later on in life.33–38 One of the most fascinating studies in this area involves women from fishing villages near Hong Kong who had the unusual habit of breastfeeding only with the right breast. This custom enabled researchers to compare the fate of the women's breasts. The researchers found a fourfold, highly significant increased risk of cancer in the unsuckled breast after menopause. We're talking about the prevention of diseases that are often fatal and that are always terribly expensive in terms of human suffering and cost of health care. Moms who don't breastfeed also have a higher incidence of osteoporosis and hip fractures when they are postmenopausal.39–41
Imagine that: The breastfeeding mother is multitasking every time she feeds her baby. As she nourishes her child, she loses weight at a safe rate, gains a pretty effective contraceptive treatment, and reduces her risk of two kinds of potentially deadly cancer and the brittle bones and subsequent fractures that can occur during the period after menopause.
The Impact of Artificial Feeding on Your Time and Budget
Are you living on a tight budget? If so, you can save a significant amount of money by nursing your baby—it costs nothing beyond the slight increase in your daily caloric needs. At most, it will set you back a few extra cents per day versus the cost of feeding substitute milks. We're talking about $1,800 to $2,600 per year per baby, just to buy the formula. Mothers enrolled in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) assistance program who are not breastfeeding are often surprised to find out that their monthly allotment of formula does not suffice and that they must pay for the rest of what they need each month at the going rate. Those who are most strapped for funds may start diluting the formula to make it last or begin introducing solid food before their baby's digestive system is prepared to deal with it.
Formula companies have been incredibly successful for more than half a century in convincing people, including most of the medical profession, that their product is almost as good as mother's milk (while implying that breastfeeding is something that only a few lucky women can manage). Guess who pays for this propaganda? Answer: not only each family with a substitute-milk-fed baby but the entire society, because of health-care costs, the missed benefits of breast milk, and the pollution factor (more on this later). It's not a stretch to say that the U.S. government has for decades subsidized a mammoth industry that directly competes with mother's milk as a major national resource.
Breast milk is always available and never requires sterilization or heating—a huge advantage for you. Have you thought about how much time and energy this can save? I remember one father-to-be who wondered how much trouble it was going to be for his wife to sterilize her nipples before each feeding! If you have anyone with similar worries in your family, I suggest that you tell them about nature's design—special oil glands create an antimicrobial environment around your nipples.
Better yet, breast milk is naturally organic. Almost all of the artificial milks for babies on the market are not organic, which means that they are likely to contain toxic chemicals, antibiotics, and bovine growth hormone if produced in the United States. It is possible to buy organic cows' milk or soy formulas, but, as you might expect, these are more expensive and harder to find. And even an organic product may contain ingredients (corn syrup is an example) that you may not want your newborn to eat because of its negative effects on babies' general health.
Environmental Impact
Artificial milks are incredibly wasteful when produced on a mass scale. The following information comes from the website of the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action:
· Packaging of baby milks wastes resources such as tin, paper, and plastic. If every baby in the United States was bottle-fed, almost 86,000 tons of tin plate would be used each year in the required 550 million discarded tin cans. Another 1,230 tons of paper would be used if these tin cans had paper labels.
· Feeding bottles, teats (nipples), and related equipment require plastic, glass, rubber, and silicon. In 1987, 4.5-million feeding bottles were sold in Pakistan alone. The number per baby is even greater in industrialized countries (most babies in the United States have at least six bottles). Furthermore, Western hospitals and consumers are increasingly using "one-trip" disposable bottles and nipples.
· Waste materials from the production of baby milks are rarely recycled, so they increase our disposal problems. The two most common disposal methods, landfill and incineration, cause their own pollution.
· Baby milks are the end product of a number of industrial processes. The energy used to create the temperatures needed for these processes and the mechanical procedures used for production cause air pollution (acid rain and greenhouse gases) and also use natural resources in the form of fuel.
· The milk and packaging materials often travel considerable distances before processing, and, once ready for the market, baby milks have to be transported to the consumer. Many countries import baby milk from thousands of miles away, causing considerable unnecessary pollution. Ecuador, for example, imports baby milks from the United States, Ireland, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
· Water, bottles, and nipples have to be sterilized before use. Water and the energy to boil it are normally easily available in the Northern Hemisphere, but this is no reason to waste them. The energy usually comes from polluting nuclear and conventional power stations. In the Southern Hemisphere, water and fuel are often precious resources. A three-month-old bottle-fed baby needs more than one quart (one liter) of water a day for mixing with formula, and each artificially fed baby needs at least an extra 1,500 pounds (73 kg) of firewood or its equivalent per year.
· Manufacturers use huge amounts of paper and other resources to promote their baby milks.
All that, and we still have to count the environmental costs of maintaining the cows to produce the milk. The tremendous amount of land and resources used by the dairy industry are a major contributor to the pollution of our environment.
Let's compare this with the environmental impact of breastfeeding:
· Breast milk produces no waste: It is produced in the right amounts for the baby's needs.
· Mothers need only the smallest amount of extra energy to produce milk, which is often taken from body fat (even malnourished mothers can produce enough quality breast milk to feed a baby).
· Breast milk needs no extra packaging.
· Breast milk is ready to use at the right temperature.
· Breast milk does not have to be shipped around the world. A mother has a ready supply wherever she goes.
· Most women do not menstruate when breastfeeding and therefore need fewer sanitary pads, tampons, or cloths. This reduces the need for fibers, bleaching, packaging, and disposal. If a baby is unrestrictedly breastfed for six months and breastfeeding continues into the second year, the average mother will not have a period until her baby is at least fourteen months old.
What other human activity would permit you to give your baby the best possible nurturing and health protection at the same time that you enhance your own long-term health, provide the most economical infant food possible, and protect the natural environment?
Times of Crisis
Many families these days take the trouble to pack an emergency kit in case of a tornado, flood, hurricane, earthquake, or other natural disaster. Breastfeeding mothers have an obvious advantage here, because the perfect food for their babies is with them at all times.
A couple of weeks after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in 2005, another powerful hurricane, Rita, appeared to be heading for Houston, Texas. The mayor of the city ordered everyone to evacuate, and within hours, a million and a quarter Houstonians were in their cars, inching along a freeway that was not designed to accommodate anything like this volume of traffic. It wasn't long before tens of thousands of radiators were boiling over. According to the news reports, many families, having failed to anticipate the major traffic jam, had neglected to bring enough water or other drinks along with them. I think I would have preferred to be a breastfeeding mother that day rather than one who depended on manufactured milks.
In late November 2006, a California family became stranded in their car in the Oregon mountains during an unusual series of heavy snow-and rainstorms. They waited for more than a week to be rescued. Finally, James Kim, the father, built a fire for his wife, their four-year-old, and their seven-month-old baby, and began hiking out to find help. Sadly, Mr. Kim died of hypothermia before he could reach help, but his family was rescued alive. His wife had managed to sustain the two children by breastfeeding them. "The fact that Kati Kim was able to breastfeed both of her children for the amount of time that they were stranded most likely was lifesaving for them…. Breast milk not only provides the calories needed to sustain life, it also helps prevent dehydration," said Dr. Sheela Geraghty, assistant professor of pediatrics and medical director at the Center for Breastfeeding Medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
Given all of the health benefits for babies and mothers that come with exclusive breastfeeding, you might wonder whether any countries have enacted national policies to make breastfeeding easier for mothers. The answer is yes. Norway, for instance, is a highly developed, wealthy country that has managed to successfully reclaim breastfeeding as the norm for babies. In 1970, only twenty percent of Norwegian babies were breastfed, a similar proportion to U.S. babies at the same time. Today, almost all Norwegian babies get their mothers' milk as their first food, and eighty percent of these babies are still being nursed by their mothers six months later. It is important to recognize that Norway accomplished this major change in its health policy without keeping mothers of young children confined to their homes or setting women with different viewpoints against one another. Much of that country's success can be attributed to wise public policies created by a coalition of physicians, feminists, and legislators, who all agreed that the lost art of breastfeeding ought to be revived for the good of babies and their mothers. See Chapter 15 for more information on how Norway learned to make breastfeeding easier for its mothers.
Closer to home is a Tennessee village called "The Farm," where I have lived and worked as a community midwife for several decades. Since the beginnings of my village, in 1971, virtually every woman there has breastfed her baby for at least the first several months. Of the first group of almost a thousand women, everyone nursed for at least a year, with only a handful of exceptions. At The Farm today, every woman expects to be able to breastfeed, because she knows literally hundreds of women who nursed their babies as long as they wished.
Were the women in my village a favored type of human to have had such success at breastfeeding when so many experience various difficulties in other parts of the United States? Actually, our breastfeeding mothers have always been an ordinary mix of young adults, as far as physical attributes go. What was unusual about us was that as a group, in the pioneering days of our community—when we were laying down the foundations and values of our lifestyle—we put ourselves into a situation that required every woman to breastfeed for the health and safety of her baby. During these early years, we had neither electricity nor running water, so it was virtually impossible to feed our babies with formulas. It turned out that the women in our group were able to reliably produce enough milk to fully nourish their babies—real-life evidence that breastfeeding works very well when conditions are right and small challenges are addressed before they become big problems. This allowed each new mother to begin nursing without the fear of failure.
My hope is that it is reassuring for you to know that a sizable group of women has had nearly one hundred percent success in breastfeeding in the modern world. This should let you know that there's nothing wrong with nature's design. Our experiences living as a community at The Farm provided us with some valuable insights about women's and babies' needs in the time after birth. What I consider most valuable about our circle of women's experience in recovering the female capacity to breastfeed is that it demonstrates what might be needed to reestablish a culture of breastfeeding in areas of the world where such a culture no long exists. I will bring up this community experience in later discussions throughout the book, because of the lessons that can be drawn from it for people living in entirely different circumstances.
Millions of people have been and still are negatively affected by the huge loss in breastfeeding in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century. My aim in this book is to inform you as well as possible in order to insulate you against the negative influences and senseless taboos that have become part of North American culture over the last few decades. At the same time, I hope to provide you with practical information about how breastfeeding works, making it easier and more enjoyable for you and your baby.
A Note About Gender
In alternate chapters, I will switch between using feminine or masculine pronouns when referring to your baby.
A Note About Etiquette
Although I strongly advocate that new parents make every effort to nurse their babies, as a matter of compassion I also believe it's important for those of us who breastfeed to refrain from being judgmental of those who do not. How would it make you feel for someone to make comments about a way of feeding that you have no way to reverse? It is possible to educate without issuing statements that make people feel criticized.

Government orders to resume military operations in parts of eastern Ukraine appeared to be taking effect, two days after acting president, Oleksandr Turchynov, gave the order.
At least 10 military and special police armoured vehicles were parked on the road just to the north of Slavyansk, a city 100 miles west of the Russian border that has emerged as the focus of the armed insurgency.
Ukraine have since said its forces have killed "up to five" militants in the separatist-controlled town of Slavyansk, in the east of the country. Reuters news agency reported at least two deaths.
Near the town of Makatikha, about 12 miles north of Slavyansk pro-Russian militia at checkpoints set fire to barricades of car tyres in an apparent attempt to reduce visibility from the air.
A ministry statement said that during an "anti-terrorist operation" its forces, supported by the army, removed three illegal checkpoints manned by armed groups in the northeastern part of the city.

A company is only as good as its employees. The unfortunate truth is that sometimes hiring just a few bad apples can spoil the efforts of an otherwise talented staff.
A recent article in Fast Company provided some compelling data on the importance of fully vetting prospective candidates. The data showed that 41% of companies surveyed said a bad hire had cost their firm at least $25,000 over the previous year, and 25% of these companies said a bad hire cost their firm at least $50,000.
While the financial penalties are serious in their own right, they merely represent one potential trouble spot. More than one-third of the companies in that same survey blamed bad hires for things such as:
- Lost worker productivity
- Added employee recruitment and training costs
- Harmful effects on overall employee morale
- Lost time
- Negative effects on client solutions
The problems bad hires can cause are legion. By some estimates, they are responsible for 80% of all employee turnover. That's a staggering number and persuasive evidence that companies need to develop a hiring process that minimizes the odds of a negative outcome.
Why Employers Make Bad Hires
Matching the right person with the right position is rarely easy. It's a little bit of an art and a science, and even candidates with sterling resumes and references aren't immune from not working out as planned.
There are countless reasons why an individual hire might go haywire. Yet there are some common situations that tend to increase the potential for a bad hiring decision.
If management is under pressure to fill a position within a short period of time, compromises may occur in the hiring process. An HR professional may not have the time to comprehensively vet each candidate, or evaluate them thoroughly during the interview process.
Employers may also be misled by workers claiming to have the skills or experience they don't actually possess. In today's hypercompetitive economy, businesses often don't have the time to get new employees up to speed, they need workers who are ready to go from day one.
Yet there's one misstep that crops up time and again when reviewing the process that leads to bad hires: the lack of rigorous background screening. Without it, companies are almost hiring on faith, because they assume everything a prospective employee claims is accurate. That's a huge assumption to make and one that can have disastrous consequences.
The Vital Importance of Screening Employees
We've seen the risks involved with bad hires and how they erode morale, bleed revenue and sap a company's overall competitiveness. They also make life much harder for company leadership. Good workers make people management and workforce development relatively easy. Too many poor hires have the opposite effect, making human resource management a time-consuming chore, even for those who have earned an advanced degree in Human Resources Management.
By committing to a rigorous and comprehensive employee screening program, businesses exert much more control over the hiring process. Thanks to the additional data collected, employee screening allows hiring managers to make a far more informed decision.
Unfortunately, the world has more than a few people who lie, cheat, and embezzle from their employer. These folks apply for jobs just like everyone else, so it's a virtual certainty that every business will encounter bad apples in their pool of potential labor. If a firm puts the wrong person in a sensitive position, catastrophic financial and even legal consequences may ensue.
Thorough employee screening provides companies a line of defense against a disastrous hire of this sort. While it might not prevent every bad hire, it's part of a process that minimizes the potential for such an outcome.
Types of Background Screening
The level and detail of employee screening is usually tied to the particulars of the job. For example, pilots typically undergo strict drug and alcohol screening, while those who handle money are often screened for debt or poor credit. Screening is also important for employees who work closely with a firm's intellectual property or proprietary information, as is the case in the IT world.
Common screening areas for prospective employees include:
- Identity checks
- Criminal record checks
- Work history checks
- Credit and debt checks
- Reviews of any legal proceedings
- Education verification
- Motor vehicle record checks
- Personal references
- Professional certification checks
- Drug and alcohol screenings
Not every business or every open position requires all of the above screening points. Yet there are very few, if any, positions which wouldn't benefit from at least some pre-employment screening.
Employee background screening is an absolutely critical part of any smart hiring process. Without it hiring managers are making key decisions with less than optimal information – and greatly increasing the odds of hiring the wrong person.

Archive for the 'Articles on Treadmills' Category
Folding treadmills can be a great choice for a small living space as they can be folded away, placed in a closet, against a wall and pushed under furniture such as a bed.
Folding treadmills often have hydraulic folding mechanisms so that they are very easy to fold and also easy and safer to unfold.
In the past when you unfolded a treadmill the deck would come crashing down if you didn't assist it, but with the newer models this is no longer an issue as they slowly fold down on their own. However treadmills vary greatly in quality.
You've thought about it long and hard and decided now is the time to invest in a treadmill
You're ready to make some healthy changes for your body.
Maybe you need to lose some extra weight or maybe you're at your perfect weight and you just want to stay that way.
Whatever the reason, you know you want to use treadmill equipment, but you're just not sure exactly what qualities or features you should look for.
Here are a few tips on choosing a treadmill so that you get the most out of it
- Weight Limits or Capacity
Remember that all treadmills have weight limits. Some users don't think to check for this before purchasing but it does make a difference and can affect the different features of the machine. The weight limit is set as a safety precaution for the user as well as a precaution for what the motor can handle. You'll want to check the limit to make sure it will work for you. If your weight is close to the capacity that it can handle the motor will have to work harder. If you are planning on losing weight, this won't be much of an issue but if you are planning on staying the same weight or weighing more with added muscle then look for one that has a higher weight capacity.
Now that you have a treadmill (or use one at the gym) you are going to want to shake up your workouts and also track their effectiveness. One of the best ways to track the effectiveness of your workouts is to use a heart rate monitor.
It doesn't matter if you use one that is attached to your treadmill or if you use one that you wear on your wrist, ones that work with iPhones & iPads or ones like Fitbit or Up 24 by Jawbone, just use one that is easy enough for you to use and one that you will use often.
Below you will find 6 treadmill workouts to choose from, each using a heart rate monitor. When you are looking at treadmills to purchase pay extra attention to note whether or not it has a built-in monitor – most do and they are well worth having.
Before you can begin any of these workouts you must know your own Maximum Heart Rate (MHR). This is best calculated by your doctor during a treadmill test of cardiovascular fitness. If you are over 35 years old, overweight or very unfit, you should consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
Testing to know your personal MHR is highly recommended, although there is a general formula that can be used to calculate an average MHR according to your age. People of the same age vary widely in their fitness level and you should keep in mind that it is designed for the average person. So if you know that you are less fit than the average person of your age, you could calculate as if you were 5 or 10 years older. This is the formula:

Unanswered: Converting a 6.5 compatible db to SQL Server 2005
I'm trying to convert a 6.5 compatible db from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. The issue I'm encountering is that:
1. I cannot simply convert the 6.5 compatible db to SQL Server 2005. I tried restoring from a backup - no success.
2. I tried creating the structure in SQL Server 2005 and then importing the data from SQL Server 2000. Problem is - after importing the data, I then tried creating the primary key and indexes - get a time-out error (which I never got with SQL Server 2000.) I also tried creating the primary key and indexes in SQL Server 2005 FIRST before importing - got errors when trying to import and import failed.
I know this sounds like a data problem but I have no problems working with this 3 gig database in SQL Server 2000.
Can anyone please help? This is a pretty serious problem I need to overcome with the SQL Server 2005 conversion.Expert Database Programming

I've never tried this, but I think you need to "two-step" the database when you are skipping that many product generations. Restore the database from the 6.5 server onto a machine running SQL 2000. Then either upgrade the SQL 2000 server to SQL 2005, or use the DTS Copy Database Wizard to move the database to a SQL 2005 server. While it might be possible to do this in one jump, I'm almost certain that it is easy to do it in two.

Issue resolved
I resolved this - it was fairly easy (too easy). All I had to do was open the properties of the database in SQL Server 2000, go to the Options tab, and change the compatibility level.
Thanks for the reply pat!Expert Database Programming

Hello ladies,
I'm mandy. Member of May 2919
and april 2012 ddc. I have 3 children Stasa (almost 9) Robert (almost 7) and Elise 19 months. I'm due to have a second son april 27. I am engaged to an amazing guy who I could beat in the head at least twice a day. He's elise and jackson's dad.
I had no epidural not by choice with dd1. Or rather I had an epidural they placed wrong so there was no numb delivery. I felt everything. I opted for epidural with ds1 and dd2. This time I have decided I'm going for an unmedicated birth including pitocin. I want labor to start and stop on its own.
I am not against medication. To me this choice is because I want to experience it the way its supposed to be. This is my last baby so its my last. Chance. I am not being supported by dfs family at all. They don't understand my choice or believe in me. They tell me I'm crazy and even try to tell me I'm putting jackson in danger. I know better and I know how wrong they are. I needencouragment and support. I'm afraid if I end up getting meds they will rub it in my face and not realize that I will be failing in my own eyes. So one of the ladies in may 10
suggested I come here for information and encouragement. I have to admit I'm afraid I will be looked down on here if I go med route so I ask you ladies to be support but please respect me as well. I have a feeling that you will because you know what I'm going through.
So hi ladies!!! Tell me about you and yours. Feel free to ask lots of questions. I can't wait to get to know you all.

Item description for Fasting for Financial Breakthrough: A Guide to Uncovering God's Perfect Plan for Your Finances (Life Points) by Elmer Towns...Overview
(A guide to uncovering God's perfect plan for your finances)
This book provides real-world, practical steps for every individual - and every church - to break the bonds of financial dependence and become good stewards of the true treasure God provides. Once you know why you have money problems you can do something about them. It all begins with fasting and prayer.
Publishers Description
While this book sheds a spiritual light on one of the biggest problems facing Christians today--our need to put the role of money in a proper perspective and how to solve our money problems--Elmer Towns states at the outset that this is not the primary purpose of fasting and prayer. Instead, it is all about knowing God. It is not about withdrawing prayer--on an "as needed" basis--from some spiritual ATM kiosk. It is about meditation, studying the scriptures and communion with God. When we fast and pray in faith, asking for God's help and provision, He will begin to teach us how to become good stewards of what He has provided. And He will ever, at times, meet out temporal needs in a miraculous way. Includes Chpaters Devoted to the Following Topics and Many More
Chapter 3: Fasting to Learn Stewardship
Chapter 4: Why We Have Money Problems
Chapter 6: Faith Approach to Asking for Money

Bees possess wonderful working traits along with a great need to protect the hive. Historical Egyptians associated the bee with knowledge, regeneration, and working to rule.
Bees are also a symbol of royal families, the Merovingian monarchs have been laid to rest with golden bees put into their coffin's. The freemasons use the bee and the beehive among it's designs. This is associated with freemasonry being the queen bee and the workers creating a hive through hard work. Napoleon associated the bee with regeneration.
There is no question that bees have a firm place in the spiritual world. In reality, it isn't just the bee which may turn up within dreams but you could see a beehive, honey, or the actual honey comb. The bee from a spiritual perspective represents rebirth and order within your life. To witness a swarm of bees represents the importance of power over relationships of the heart. This dream symbolizes your work situation and the balance between your job and your relationships of the heart. The additional symbols within this dream often indicate that you have been trying to balance these two key areas of your life. If the queen is featured in your dream, this demonstrates the need to feel freedom, such as freedom of choice and freedom of expression.
In your dream you may have...
Positive changes are afoot if...
Detailed dream interpretation...
In essence, bees show that life takes on new positive approaches based upon how we respond to emotion. To dream of a flying bee shows that you can successfully express yourself in difficult situations. However, it can also mean that people perceive you in a negative manner. Growing and developing interpersonal skills within your life will help you. If you find yourself stung by a bee, this is possibly a warning that others may hurt your feelings. If you are attacked by a swarm of bees, this can indicate there is a situation which is out of your control. To be attacked by more than one bee is a dream associated with being suspicious. A swarm of bees (that are not attacking you) denote a pleasant and great time with friends and social engagements. If a bee stings you in your dream, the omen is good especially in business matters. If the emergence of the bees is from a cocoon or from hatching, then this dream is associated with trying to improve yourself.
To see working bees in your dreams indicates continued success and a happy state. Fatalities are intimated if you see them in profusion. To see bees simulating death or dying, foretells unhappiness caused by illness. To kill a bee means an alarming, but not fatal illness or accident. Dreaming of honey indicates that you need to sort yourself out and make sure you are heard by others. If you can see honey in your dream, then this shows sweetness, happiness, and joy.
If a healthy person dreams that he or she is harvesting honey, it is a symbol of financial gain. The dream featuring a quiet bee in the sense that you are not stung by the bee indicates that you will be lucky in business and you will get wealthy. A girl or woman dreaming of bees will have luck in love, as the dream foretells a man bringing a lot of joy and doing you much good. Dreaming of bees could have negative meanings if the bees sting you, as this indicates conflict with people around you.
If you dream of bees in general this indicates prosperity obtained by hard work, success, gain, profit, and wealth, but bees in your dream can also foretell unhappiness and lost hopes in regard to a person you love. If you see a bee sitting on a flower, this means pleasure in love, or love coming your way very soon. A stinging bee is a sign of failure and quarrel, and if the bee stings you, you might discover an enemy. Bees making honey in your dream foretell success and luck. A honeycomb predicts that you will find out things you want to know. Angry bees mean failure and conflict at work.
Dreaming of a beehive with lots of bees is a sign of abundance in your house, a united family, and a fruitful and fertile year ahead. A beehive is a sign of a substantial income growth. Seeing bees surrounding a beehive is a sign of happiness in love, and luck in business. To dream of a beehive means you will overcome current troubles. If you dream that you are working in the hive, and the bees come out of it, then there are some problems you are struggling to solve. Dreams featuring a beehive in full activity predict good business, wealth, and a good gain.
A swarm of bees means happiness, but if the bees are hiving around the beehive, it suggests prudence. Swarming bees mean richness, gain and luck in many of the things you do. Seeing flying bees could mean troubles, but if the bees are flying around you, this foretells happiness, luck in love, and overcoming your difficulties. Listed below include an overview of these symbols:
Honey is an organic sweetener, this is the product of the bees' work. Honey originates from plant pollen that bees gather and take to the hive. Dreaming of honey could be considered a symbol of involving change for better, or associated with alchemy--taking something--a relationship, a project, work objective, or maybe even a goal and changing the situation into something better. Honey may also signify an incentive with regard to your work. You may be rewarded for your efforts.
Bee Sting...
If you get stung during your dream it could possibly symbolize your stinging emotions or perhaps your current subconscious mind. You could possibly think that a partnership at work is not going well. The bee in a destructive mode, such as stinging you or others in often connected to a work situation, which has left a person feeling 'stung'. To dream of bees biting you signifies action. Although a bee stinging you might be unpleasant for you, the bee will eventually dies due to the sting. In this capacity, the bee might stand for sacrificing oneself regarding a an item you treasure.
As outlined already, the bee often represents hard work. Having dreams about bees working in the beehive signify productivity and problem's at work that need time and patience in order solve. Bees work in full cooperation, working with each other so that their own hive continues to be undamaged and also successful. Bees might point to working in a team in order to be successful.
Feelings that you may have encountered during a dream of bees and beehives...
Bewildered. Scared. Terrified. Worried. In control. Upset. Anxious. Confused. Charmed.
