London Firings Seen Surging As Finance Firms Add NY Jobs
Dodd Frank continues to destroy financial jobs in this country. /sarcasm.
I don't think Dodd Frank is a good bill, but some sort of regulation of Wall St needs to be instituted (Duh) to stop TBTF. This is not to say Dodd Frank stops TBTF, but to say the Repub's charge of it destroying jobs and that Wall St doesn't need any additional regulation is BS.

Mercury in Fish: Killing the 'Healthy' in Tuna and Other Seafood
There may be a good reason today for you to be wary of your favorite tuna or to skip it altogether. This reason is called mercury in fish.
A study by the U.S. Geologic Survey shows that following China's rapid industrialization, mercury contamination in tuna and other Pacific fish sources has increased by 30% since 1990. It can climb up to another 50% by 2050, says research, if China sticks to its current rate of as many as one new coal-powered power plant built per week.
Top natural health expert Dr. Joseph Mercola is also sounding the alarm bells, grieving that tuna – "one of the healthiest foods on the planet" – has been "virtually devastated" with mercury toxicity. He says that streams, lakes, oceans and the environment have been contaminated with millions of tons of mercury, which could be bioaccumulated to very high levels in tuna and most fish.
Doing the Math: Is There Really Mercury in Fish?
Dr. Mercola says that the figures can speak – or scream the nasty truth – for themselves.
• U.S. officials say that 75 percent of human exposure to mercury comes from eating fish
• Contaminated Pacific tuna alone accounts for 40 percent of this human exposure
• The United States alone release 40 tons of mercury each year by burning coal for electricity
• A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report in 2005 says that one in 17 women of childbearing age have mercury levels of above 5.8 micrograms per liter, an amount that can directly harm a developing fetus
• The National Academy of Sciences calculates that 600,000 newborns a year are at risk of learning disabilities because of mercury exposure during their mothers' pregnancy
Emitted from coal-fired power plants and other mining machineries, mercury in the air "rains down" into bodies of water and is converted by bacteria into a dangerous form called methylmercury. It then finds its way into species of fish and is especially accumulated in those that are situated high up the food chain.
Tuna, for instance, is a widely popular fish in the United States. In 2007, canned tuna ranked second among the most eaten seafood, nearly three pounds of it consumed by the average American that year.
Dr. Mercola drops the bomb: tuna exhibits some of the worst mercury contamination, standing alongside seabass, marlin, halibut and many others.
The Toxic Truth about Mercury and Your Health
Fetuses and developing infants are hit hard by mercury exposure, which negatively affects language, attention span, visual-spatial skills, memory and coordination. Even in low doses, mercury can affect development, shortening attention span and causing learning disabilities.
Mercury in the fish you eat also especially harms your central nervous system, inducing health problems such as:
• Arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies
• Blurred vision
• Irritability and personality shifts
• Headaches
• Weakness
• Tremors
• Insomnia
• Slowed mental response
• Unsteady gait
Can I Still Have My Share of Tuna?
"In a perfect world, fish would be a near-perfect food – high in protein and full of essential nutrients and fats. But our world is not perfect, and, sadly, neither is our fish supply," Dr. Mercola mourns, recommending that you skip the tuna and all other fish unless you're sure that they've been lab-tested and proven free from mercury and other toxins.
2007-released laboratory tests in New York have shown that 10 percent of the tuna samples were unsafe and contained above 1.0 ppm mercury levels. They discovered that the tested tuna sushi had so much mercury that those 2-3 pieces a week at some restaurants proved to be hazardous to one's health.
But you still have options. You can choose, for instance, to consume smaller fish like anchovies and sardines because their small size makes them less likely to be contaminated by mercury. You can also try the wild red salmon which is caught in the cold, clean North Pacific region.
The health benefits from fish, says Dr. Mercola, can also be acquired from other clean sources. You can obtain Omega-3 fats and antioxidants from safe products including high-quality krill oil, which is made from krill or a shrimp-like crustacean found in the cold oceans of the world.
Dr. Mercola adds that you more than tuna and other seafood, you should also watch out for your other food sources and be always on-guard for different forms of toxicity. If you are what you eat, then what does mercury in your fish reveal about you?

I know this runs the "beat a dead horse" risk, as a lot has been written about bringing folders into stores. I think this is worth reiterating and sharing:
So much of my success in bringing my folder into stores in my city neighborhood is about attitute. I mean two things by this:
1. Confident and non-chalant---as others have posted, I act like my folder and I belong in the store. IMHO, this is the biggest factor in my success in bringing the bike into stores. Security guards look at me funny, but as soon as I act like a regular shopper (hi, can you tell me where the shampoo is?) there's no fuss and no questioning.
2. Polite and enthusiastic---when asked about the bike by employees I answer all questions and talk about how much I love the bike. Today, I went to an Ace Hardware in my neighborhood. Not only did an employee working the register/till ask me about my bike, but after a cheerful discussion, she offered to let me store it behind the register while I shopped!
I guess I am saying that for me, in my part of D.C., confidence, politeness and enthusiasm work very well. Instead of going in ready to do battle I go in ready to shop.

KLEM News AM Update March 31, 2011
The investigation involved a burglary at a Merrill residence that police report occurred in February.
Eighteen-year-old Austin Majeres and 19-year-old Whitney Arnold, both of Le Mars are free on bond.
Majeres is charged with felony burglary and possession of stolen property. Arnold is charged with aiding and abetting burglary.
Two Le Mars teens, sixteen-year-olds Brendan Arens and Riley Peters are each charged with felony burglary.
Arens and Peters were cited into juvenile court and each released to a family member.
(LE MARS)--Legislation to make changes in state funding for mental health services is being watched closely by Plymouth County Supervisors, the county's mental health coordinator and care providers. Tomorrow is a funnel deadline for bills to advance or be dead for this session in the Iowa Legislature.
Sharon Nieman coordinates mental health services in Plymouth County. Nieman's work for the county involves funds and services for everything from emergency care at the Cherokee Mental Health Institute to Plains Area Mental Health Center, Life Skills Training Center and group homes for persons with disabilities. Nieman updated Supervisors on legislation possibilities this week with one central point.
Listen here
Nieman is also waiting to update the current budget for mental health with a complication from a wait for bills for services from the state.
Listen here
Nieman said options to pay the mental health expenses include a one-time transfer of money from the county's general fund to the mental health fund.
Several years ago, the county built a group home for eight adults. Nieman has looked at selling with a requirement that the buyer continue the present use. Nieman asked if the ownership would be affected by legislation.
Listen here
Due to a decision several years ago, the county is limited in the amount of property tax money levied for a mental health fund. That amount today is the same as 1996. Without additional state funds, the county may need to hold bills in the new budget until tax collections arrive and or place restrictions on services. Nieman said that could increase costs. For example, if someone didn't receive services at Plains Area, the expense could escalate if they were hospitalized at the Cherokee Mental Health institute.
(LE MARS)--A musical festival in Le Mars could be record-setting this weekend.
Twenty-three accordion players are registered so far for the ninth annual Art Pahl Accordion Fest Sunday at the Plymouth County Historical Museum.
The festival honors the memory of Pahl who lived in Brunsville. He performed for area care center residents and non-profit groups prior to his death in 2003.
According to information from the museum, accordion players from several states are expected to join a jam and provide music for dancing and listening.
The Art Pahl Accordion Fest begins at two Sunday afternoon in the Museum's "Old Central" Gym.
(SIOUX CITY)--Iowa National Guard spokesman, Colonel Greg Hapgood, says a Sioux City unit has deployed to support the no-fly zone over Libya.
Hapgood says a small number of airmen and aircraft from the 185th Air Refueling Wing in Sioux City are on the way to support Operation Unified Protector, which is the NATO mission in Libya. The Sioux City wing flies the KC-135 Stratotanker.
He says they don't have a timeline at this point for how long the mission will last. Hapgood says the Iowans are based at a remote location, not in Libya and not in Africa, where they can provide support to NATO aircraft.
The Sioux City unit was converted from fighter jets to refueling tankers in 2000, and Hapgood says they have been busy since that time.
Hapgood says the unit is around the world on a daily basis refueling aircraft from the U-S and other countries, and have been deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan as well as other operations around the world since 9-11. Hapgood says the unit provides an important support role for the Libya mission.
Hapgood says it is "absolutely critical to have maintenance and refueling capabilities" for this type of no-fly zone mission.
The planes flew out of Iowa on March 26 to join other Air National Guard units from several states. Hapgood says not other Iowa Guard units have been deployed to Libya at this time. (News report by Radio Iowa)
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) At least two of Iowa's sitting congressmen will be tossed together in the same district when a proposed new map of legislative and congressional districts is released today.
The state is losing a seat in Congress and will have only four congressional districts in the next election, meaning one sitting member will lose his job.
Nonpartisan legislative staffers will deliver the proposed map to the Legislature on Thursday morning. Lawmakers will hold a series of public hearings on the new map and will vote on whether to implement it in mid-April. Lawmakers can't amend the first map but can only vote yes or no.
If the first map is rejected, staffers will prepare a second map, which lawmakers would consider in a likely special session of the Legislature.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) Police say a member of the Iowa City Police Citizen's Review Board didn't try to control a party that turned violent.
Police Sgt. Denise Brotherton told the Iowa City Press-Citizen that Royceann Porter was host of the party at the Saddlebrook Clubhouse on Saturday.
Police were called a little before 11:10 p.m. Officers say they found more than 100 people running around, screaming and jumping into vehicles.
Police say a piano and tables were broken during a fight at the party. Brotherton says one person had to be stitched up at a hospital.
Only Porter has been charged so far: a misdemeanor for maintaining a disorderly house. Court records say she's pleaded not guilty, and her bench trial is scheduled for April 22.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) Two men charged in the slaying of a Cedar Rapids man during a robbery have pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against a co-defendant in the case.
Gabriel Taylor and Johven Lee pleaded guilty Tuesday to first-degree robbery for their role in the Jan. 11 robbery and slaying of Kevin Bell. Police say Bell was shot in the head and died the next day.
The Gazette reports that Taylor and Lee will testify against Denem Null, whose first-degree murder trial is scheduled to begin Monday in Linn County. He is accused of firing the shot that killed Bell.
Prosecutors say the plea agreement is contingent on Taylor and Lee testifying truthfully at Null's trial. First-degree murder charges against the men will be dismissed at sentencing.
AMES, Iowa (AP) Police have released the name of the woman in a wheelchair who was killed by a train at an Ames crossing.
The Ames Tribune says she was identified as 44-year-old Maribel Gaitan (GY'-tan), of Ames.
Police say Gaitan moved from the Des Moines area to Ames recently.
Police say more than one witness reported that it looked to them like the woman now identified as Gaitan intentionally stopped on the tracks.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Iowa Court of Appeals says a district court judge was wrong to suppress statements made to police by a man who walked into a police station saying he may have sexually assaulted a teenage girl.
Wednesday's decision allows prosecutors to continue their case against Ounheaun (OON'-yen) Cam, who is charged with assault with intent to commit sexual abuse.
Cam argued his statements to a Sioux Center police officer should have been suppressed because he was in custody and didn't knowingly waive his right to an attorney.
The appeals court found Cam was not in custody and did not ask about an attorney until after he had spoken to police.
Cam's attorney says he has not decided whether to appeal the ruling.
Prosecutors say they are pleased with the decision.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) A Dyersville man is facing 10 federal counts of wire fraud, accused of using an office credit card for his personal purchases and illegally setting up payments on it from his employer's checking account.
Bruce Troyer also was indicted on a charge of using someone else's identity to accomplish the alleged wire fraud.
A news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Iowa says the 42-year-old Troyer faces up to 202 years in prison if convicted on all 11 counts. Troyer's trial is scheduled to begin on May 31.
The indictment says Troyer was managing a doctor's office in Cedar Rapids when the crimes occurred from November 2008 through September 2009.
Attempts to reach Troyer were unsuccessful on Wednesday. His attorney declined to comment.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Iowa high school basketball star Peter Jok (jahk) is transferring schools.
Jok, a 6-foot-5 sophomore guard who averaged 18.5 points and seven rebounds a game for Des Moines Roosevelt last year, will play for West Des Moines Valley next season.
Jok's guardian, Mike Nixon, tells the Des Moines Register that Jok and his son Peter Nixon are changing schools because they need a fresh start.
Valley is coached by former Iowa point guard Jeff Horner.
Jok has two years of high school basketball left, is believed to be a top-level recruit for the class of 2013.

This collection brings together for the first time the plays of Sonia Sanchez, a prolific, award-winning poet and one of the most prominent writers in the Black Arts movement. In addition to Sanchezrs"s five previously published playsThe Bronx Is Next(1970),Dirty Hearts(1971),Sister Son/ji(1972),Malcolm/Man Donrs"t Live Here No Mo(1979)Uh, Uh; But How Do It Free Us?(1975), and , the collection also includes her two unpublished plays,Irs"m Black When Irs"m Singing, Irs"m Blue When I Ainrs"t(1982) and2 x 2(2009). It reveals the thematic and formal exchanges between Sanchezrs"s poetry and dramatic works over the course of four decades. Sanchez emerged as a black nationalist poet and playwright in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Like her poetry, her dramas reflect her critique of the racism and sexism that she encountered as a young female writer in the black militant community, her ongoing concern with the well-being of the black community, and her commitment to social justice.Irs"m Black When Irs"m Singing, Irs"m Blue When I Ainrs"tand Other Plays includes three essays in which Sanchez reflects on her art and activism, and an introduction by Jacqueline Wood situating Sanchezrs"s plays in relation to her poetry, activism, and the feminist dramatic voice in black revolutionary art.
Author Biography
Sonia Sanchez is a poet, playwright, and activist living in Philadelphia. Her many books of poetry include Shake Loose My Skin and Homegirls and Handgrenades.

A USC scientist will take a research expedition this month into the heart of the Mid-Atlantic Ocean to explore the very limits of life on Earth.
Katrina Edwards of USC Dornsife and Wolfgang Bach of Bremen University will co-lead the team of more than 100 scientists and support crew on a drilling expedition for the Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigations (C-DEBI), which is systematically working to unlock the secrets of the living world below the seafloor.
While leading the trip, Edwards will blog about the team's experiences so that the public can follow the expedition as it unfolds. That blog will be published on the Scientific American website at blogs.scientificamerican.com/expeditions and on the C-DEBI website at darkenergybiosphere.org/return-to-northpond.
"We don't understand most of this planet," said Edwards, professor of biological sciences, Earth sciences and environmental studies. "We know more about the surfaces of other planets in the solar system than we do about the ocean floor."
Edwards and her team will depart on Sept. 16 and spend about two months drilling at a site known as the North Pond, a shallow bowl of sediment on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The team will drill well past the sediment layer and into the solid rock below it to collect microbes in its search for the bottom of the biosphere - the portion of the Earth that is inhabited by living organisms.
"The North Pond is perfect because it is perfectly average" and has seen scientists of all stripes recording various data about it for the past 40 years, Edwards said. "We're building on a great history of research."
About one-third of the world's biomass is thought to exist below the ocean floor and has seen little scientific study to date. Edwards' expedition is part of a multi-year effort to explore this untapped world; she plans to continue collecting data at the North Pond over the next five years.
Edwards' goal is to learn more about the role that tiny subseafloor microbes play in shaping the oceans and crust of the Earth. Current evidence suggests that, despite their size, they could be a major factor shaping massive oceanic features. At this point, however, scientists desperately need more raw data to know just how major.
The two-month expedition will be challenging - and will be the longest Edwards has been at sea. Before this, she spent one month in 2009 at the same site, scouting the location in preparation for this expedition.
"It's five days to get there and five days back. Even a 'short' trip takes a while," she said.
The expedition is funded by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program and C-DEBI is supported by the National Science Foundation.

VALDOSTA, Ga. – Valdosta State put on a strong performance against Lambuth Saturday on its way to a 61-54 victory. The win moves Valdosta State to 11-11 and 5-4 in the Gulf South Conference East Division. Meanwhile, Lambuth drops to 3-19.
Brittany Daniels completed her fourth double-double of the season and second in as many games. She finished with 14 points and 13 rebounds on seven of 12 shooting. Also in the post, Courtney Mitchell scored 13 points with seven rebounds. The pair helped VSU score 38 points in the paint.
Brittany Ferguson finished with two points but helped Valdosta State on the glass with nine rebounds. The big boards from the trio of forwards helped Valdosta State dominate Lambuth in rebounds, 49-26, and scored 14 second chance points.
Only four Eagles scored, led by Sarah Collins with 17 points. Ashley Franklin finished with 15 points, but 11 were on free throws. Maegan Sanders scored 10.
The Lady Blazers were more balanced getting points from every player that played but one. Sczeny Hartry and Bena Hanyard scored nine points each off the bench while Alisha Crawford and Amanda Haven each scored six points.
Valdosta State and Lambuth played a tight game early, but with just over eight minutes left in the first half, the Lady Blazers started to pull away.
Shakeda Richie found Crawford for a three-pointer to give VSU a five-point lead. After a free throw from Mitchell, Ferguson fought for a rebound and finished the put back for an eight-point VSU lead.
Three minutes later, Hanyard brought down a rebound to spark a fast break. She found Mitchell on the other end for Valdosta State's first double-digit lead of the night. After that, Hanyard went coast to coast twice off steals at the top of the key, one of which resulted in a three-point play.
Thanks to Hanyard, Valdosta State had a 13-point lead. Eventually, VSU took a 12-point lead into the break after scoring 22 points in the paint, 12 points off turnovers, 11 second chance points, eight points on the break and 14 points from the bench.
Valdosta State built on its 12-point halftime lead out of the gate. Mitchell scored off a Haven assist. Later, Hartry dropped a three-pointer from Ferguson to make it a 19-point lead. Then, with 8:19 left, Mitchell scored from a Hartry assist to give VSU its largest lead of the game at 22 points.
Lambuth did try to put on a brief run, but the Valdosta State lead was too overwhelming.
The Lady Blazers return to action against Concordia-Selma at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Watch The Xbox One E3 2013 Conference Right Now
By William Usher 3 years ago comments
The official Xbox One E3 2013 conference hosted by Microsoft will be the front and center stage of attention kicking off all the big next-generation news for recently announced console. Microsoft will unveil all 15 exclusives for the Xbox One, including the highly anticipated 8 new IP.
You can watch the conference Live on Xbox.com right now and stay informed about any and all things Xbox One. The countdown has already begun and gamers are already steeped in knee-high anticipation for what Microsoft will unveil to counter all the negativity aimed at them after publicly unveiling those DRM policies.
Things will certainly get interesting as the hour and a half conference will cover all things Xbox, and according to Larry Major Nelson Hryb, Microsoft will forfeit any long running speeches about TV, TV, sports, TV, sports and more TV. Instead, the focus will be on games, games and more games. It's become a running tagline for the company leading up to what can only be a blockbuster E3 conference because as we all know anything less than an AAA showing will leave Microsoft in a PR cesspool of anti-consumerism and brand disappointment.
You want your Xbox fix? Well, you can get it by dropping in on the live conference right now over at Xbox.com. I sure hope Microsoft doesn't disappoint.

Beginner/Intermediate - steps to take?
I'm just curious as to what I should do to move forward with my playing. I've been jamming simple riffs and songs every now and then, but rarely will I look over technique. I see improvement in myself because I'm learning songs, but I never see the structure behind it. I don't know why they chose to play that riff or why I chose to make this certain riff up based on scales. I guess I should mention I'm into death metal so power chords ftw! I don't know too many other chords other than that, which is probably a problem too. I just never totally understood what the purpose of knowing a full scale was and how to integrate it into playing a lick or riff. Also it seems like a lot of scales are really similar which confuses me too >.<
Should I continue to learn on my own or hand out 50 bucks per month for lessons momentarily?

What I would first recommend is that you learn some music theory. There are lots of helpful resources but you have to make sure that you are learning the correct things.(the internet is full of lies ) I guess this is where a teacher would come in. That is their job of course.
I would really try and focus on the how aspect (eg. technique), but rather the why. I will try and not take this too far out of context, but I think you need to have a grasp on what you want in your playing. Only you can decide this. This would essentially be the goal of your playing. I don't like the word goal because It has been a word that gets thrown around a lot and loses its seriousness over time
Once you have that, I would recommend getting a teacher who wants you to become successful in your journey. I believe that with the right teacher or guide, the techniques, scales, chords etc. will be taught to you not only in the way that you would learn the fastest, but also in a way that strives to reach your goal.
Of course the teacher is responsible to 'teach' you things, it is then your responsibility to experience what you learn.
This is just my thought on the path you might want to push towards. But I really do emphasize on getting a foothold on what your reason for playing is.

Learn your chords and how you can play variations of them up and down the guitar, instead of using the same old chord shapes you can use something that will add variety and will make stuff sound cool. Learn your scales and practice them up and down with alternate picking till you don't have to think about it. Find a book of blues licks get them in your memory then progress towards speed.
That's how I learnt. You don't want to do too much as a beginner/moderate guitar player just enjoy playing the instrument, you will get better in time.

Balanced budget puts Wisconsin on right track
June 23, 2011
After years of out of control spending, the State Assembly finally passed a balanced state budget, 60-38. Let me say that again — this budget eliminates our state's $3 billion deficit and balances the budget by leaving a surplus.
This shouldn't be a shocking statement, but due to fiscal irresponsibility of previous administrations, this will be Wisconsin's first balanced budget in many years.
We did it by enacting true budgetary reforms, making tough decisions and cutting unnecessary fat, rather than using the accounting tricks of the past.
Unlike recent budgets, we did not rely on raising taxes, transferring money from segregated funds or using one-time federal money.
In fact, this budget takes a look at our state's finances like any family or small business would — don't spend money you don't have and when times are tough you must tighten your belt.
The budget contains many positive provisions that I fully support, including:
Eliminates the $3 billion deficit.
No tax increases.
Permanent property tax freeze, resulting in an average $700 savings per homeowner.
No fund raids.
Eliminates more than 1,000 state positions.
Deletes the $587,000 child care earmark for state employees located in Madison.
Makes significant welfare reforms and requires penalties for failing or refusing drug tests for unemployment.
As with any budget, the 1,500-page document did have some pieces that I did not support. I believe that overall spending should have been lower and have concerns with the amount of bonding.
However, this budget is a step in the right direction and takes Wisconsin out of the red and into the black.
Although I did not agree with everything in the budget, I felt at the end of the day that supporting the budget bill would be the best action for our community and state.

|Hints for Health...Benefits of breastfeeding
By Dr. Kristie Kohl
Grant Medical Clinic
August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month. This month we walk you through the benefits of breastfeeding, how to get a smooth start, and how to deal with problems that may occur.
Babies who are exclusively breastfed for at least six months are less likely to develop ear infections, respiratory illnesses, and diarrhea. Breastfeeding your baby that is too young for immunizations can also help protect them from measles, mumps, colds, and the flu.
Other benefits of breastfeeding include a strong mother-child bond and decreased childhood obesity. Maternal benefits include delaying the return of menstrual periods and helping to space pregnancies.
It also decreases the breastfeeding mother's risk of breast and ovarian cancers.
According to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health, breastfeeding benefits for families include saving the family budget hundreds of dollars, saving on health care costs, contributing to a more productive workforce, and creating a healthier society.
You can prepare to get a smooth start to breastfeeding before your baby is even born. Talk to friends or read about breastfeeding during your pregnancy. Get good prenatal care to help you carry your baby to term (babies in the NICU have more trouble breastfeeding). Let your health care provider know if you have any previous breast surgery or injury. If your nipples appear flat or inverted, it may affect how your baby latches on.
The best time to start nursing is in the first one to two hours after delivery when the baby is alert and ready to suck. Breastfeeding positions include the cradle hold, transitional hold, football hold, and side-lying positions. Keeping the baby in the hospital room with you allows you to breastfeed often and get to know one another.
If the baby goes to the nursery, let the hospital staff know to wake you when your baby is hungry.
At first, wake your baby to breastfeed every two to three hours for 10-15 minutes on each side. The milk at this time is a thin yellow liquid called colostrum. Your baby can digest the low-fat colostrum easily.
Proteins in the colostrum called immunoglobulins (your body's defense system against infections) protect your baby against infections in the environment.
Usually after about three days, your milk will come in. It may have a bluish tinge. Your breasts may tingle or feel full. Massaging the breasts in the shower or placing cabbage leaves over the breasts may help relieve engorgement.
Mastitis, yeast infections, and improper latch may be causes of breast pain. You may need breast pads, as your breasts may leak or "let down" when you are thinking about your baby.
Your provider will check your baby's weight to see if your milk supply is adequate. It is normal for babies to lose up to 10 percent of their birthweight. Babies will usually regain their birthweight by two weeks.
You can also check the number of wet diapers. By four days old, your baby should have five to six wet diapers. By five days old, the bowel movements should look like a mix of cottage cheese and mustard.
Some babies are at risk for Vitamin D deficiency and rickets, a disease which soften bones. The AAP recommends that all infants have a minimum intake of 200 IU of Vitamin D per day beginning during the first two months of life and continued through childhood and adolescence.
In short, though there may be problems with breastfeeding, they can be dealt with. Breastfeeding Awareness Month is a good time to learn about the benefits of breastfeeding and how to get a smooth start.

Target the employer - Everything in your resume should be directed toward one goal: Getting a specific job at a particular company. No two resumes should be alike. Each one of your resumes should be uniquely targeted to an audience of ONE.
- Define yourself in terms of skills and accomplishments - Your resume has to show the employer what you can do and what you have achieved in the past.
- Use action verbs to boost your resume's appeal
- Size up the company and consider delivering your resume in person. If you've e-mailed resumes and made phone calls to no avail, try dropping off a resume yourself. Drive to that company. Get your foot in the door. This works best in small to medium companies or family-owned businesses.

The barber and the boxer
By David De Rurange/KTVL.com
MEDFORD, Ore. -- A local barber and boxer were once mixed up in Rogue Gangs, but now they say they've changed. They continue to run their own local businesses.
A year ago, Alex Trujillo and Troy Wohosky talked about the gang life they left. Now they are continuing the dialogue on how they use their businesses to prevent gang activity.
Alex Trujillo: A fresh perspective.
As a teenager, Trujillo said he got into trouble with gang members, but now that's faded into his barbershop in Medford.
"Some gang members or former gang members that are actively involved in gangs right now have actually came to the shop and they sit there and get a haircut," Trujillo said. "They usually don't tend to speak up on it. They usually try to stay quiet, but once in awhile they'll talk about their experiences and how it actually messed with their lives and put them in prison. It messed with their family lives."
Trujillo listens to his clients, as he creates fresh styles and perspectives. Customers who knew Trujillo from high school recognize him as associating with gang members.
"I just tell them everybody grows up. When we mature we can blossom into something better." Trujillo said.
To contact Alex Trujillo at West Main Barbershop, call 541-773-FADE(3233).
Troy Wohosky: Channeling the aggression.
Troy Wohosky's boxing gym has doubled in size and renovated its equipment. Last year, he revealed a tattoo he got as a gang leader. He lifted his shirt at a gang awareness meeting in White City. The skin on his stomach has black inked letters spelling "RAW." It stands for Ready And Willing. Wohosky said RAW has spread throughout Oregon, with a stronghold in Salem. He said it isn't part of his life anymore.
"That lifestyle is out of my system. That was a phase of my time where I was adolescent, with a lot of anger built up inside." Wohosky said.
Now he channels anger through boxing, helping others, like Daniel Saldivar-Anaya, do the same.
"My dad was a gang member," Saldivar-Anaya, one of Wohosky's boxing students said. "Because of that he got shot when I was not even born yet. Because of Spartan Boxing and Troy, he's not my family by blood, but he's like my uncle. He's family to me. I thank Troy for it because it's boosted my confidence and I've kept away from it."
Troy's boxing gym has been open for a year now. Membership has grown. Most of his students are minors, and some of them are still in gangs.
Wohosky said if his students truly discipline themselves in boxing -- they can better their lives in school and overall behavior. Erica Ibarra has noticed those benefits from her sons.
"I live on the West side of Medford and I've seen some gang activity around our neighborhood where we live at and I know they've seen it too. It's an opportunity for me to bring them here, so they can get some guidance." Ibarra said.
"It teaches you morals. It teaches you discipline," Wohosky said. "There's places even I'm trying to look at that you could get boxing scholarships."
Wohosky doesn't allow his students to use his boxing tactics on the streets. It's something he reminds gang members who enter his gym.
"They want to change their lives. They want to find an outlet for their way of thinking and channeling their aggression. For me, I just want to be able to train these kids and hopefully get them off the streets." he said.
For those who can't afford membership fees, Wohosky said there are ways they can earn access, like gym clean-up or other community services.
To contact Troy Wohosky go to http://spartanboxinggym.com/
USA Boxing is sanctioning a show at Spartan Boxing on May 11, 2013 at 6 p.m. You can see his students compete in the show. The recognition will help boost what Wohosky is trying to do in creating an outlet for those battling anger and aggression. Wohosky said numerous boxing judges from across Oregon will attend. Below is a list of sponsors and friends Wohosky would like to recognize for assisting in the production of the local boxing show.

I was wondering if there was a difference between the two. I picked up a Node 1 from my lbs and saw that they only had the Trek Incite Speedtrap. I asked the guy behind the counter if it would work and said it should. I haven't had the time to set it up yet to see. If anyone has any experience with the Trek model and either of the Nodes that would be appreciated.
(On a side note, the Trek Speedtrap was 24.99 vs the Bontrager being 34.99. If they both work for the Node 1 I guess I inadvertantly saved myself some dough. )

Wisconsin welfare reform's limitations
While the Wisconsin welfare reform that Tommy Thompson led has triumphantly reduced the welfare rolls, questions still remain about its long-term ability to promote stronger families and better lives for children.
When I visited the Kenosha County Job Center half a dozen years ago-it's located in the southeast corner of Wisconsin, with Lake Michigan to the east and the Illinois state line to the south-I was impressed with its 54,000 square feet of calibrated administration in color-coordinated offices. Next to the Job Center was Aladdin's Castle Family Entertainment, and the facility itself had a Disneyland feel. On the way from the parking lot to the reception area, a sign on one wall promoted a self-esteem workshop: "You are scheduled to begin an exciting adventure next week."
This wasn't bad. For those used to welfare offices with bulletproof glass, scarred linoleum, and cramped cubicles, this Thompson administration showcase-including a reception area with light wood, bright walls, purplish heather carpeting, circular wooden tables with padded blue seats, and an 18-foot ceiling-wasn't bad. A bright and spacious children's playroom, with lots of toys and books like Where the Wild Things Are, was also a plus for mothers and children who had experienced too many wild things.
Further in, the adventure continued. Welfare recipients now called "participants" received help in comfortable, modular office areas with light blue-gray panels. Wisconsin's welfare reform became popular with liberals because the state spent a lot of money to provide pleasant offices and to hire lots of social workers. It became popular with conservatives because Wisconsin rules emphasized finding a job, with a reduction in welfare benefits for participants who refused to participate. Most of all, Wisconsin-style reform became popular because it massively reduced the welfare rolls. Program Director George Leutermann bragged, "We treat our participants like kings and queens"-and for those previously treated as cows whose feeding troughs needed periodic refilling, that's not bad.
Except that the queens were told repeatedly that kings are irrelevant. Computer-printed signs dominated the walls of two large Kenosha training rooms: "A family doesn't need a man to be whole." "Stop waiting for Prince Charming, his horse broke down." Snide feminism of this sort is accurate in noting that welfare moms should not be passively waiting, but it recognizes neither that marriage is one way out nor that children need a father. When I asked Operations Manager Larry Jankowski about dumping the Prince Charming goal, he said, "We tell them straight out that marriage is not the answer."
Other signs suggested an alternative answer: "I have the power within me. What I focus on expands." "You're a one-of-a-kind design." Since that last exhortation seems to suggest the existence of a Designer, a question logically followed: Was teaching about God, or at least the Alcoholics Anonymous concept of a "higher power," acceptable within the Wisconsin experiment? "There's absolutely no reference to a higher power at this center," Mr. Jankowski insisted: "This is a self-actualization technique." As another poster put it, "If you think you're someone special, you are."
As HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson tries to actualize the Wisconsin approach across the country, questions remain. Children generally do better when their mothers leave welfare and go to work, so it's good for them and their moms to gain independence from government, but raising children without a father is very hard: Are there ways to promote marriage? Government agencies are spending money to get women to work, but a deeper problem concerns men who are unskilled, unemployed, and often unmarriageable. How can they be encouraged to move from adultery to adulthood?
Finally, what about participants who are in not just economic trouble but spiritual bondage? The Kenosha goal was to change habits-to change a person on the outside-but it did not try to touch the inside. Most of us would not want a governmental program to do so, but is wiping the outside of the glass sufficient? If not, how can HHS use vouchers and other means to promote faith-based programs? HHS Assistant Secretary for Family Support Wade Horn has emphasized the importance of both family and faith, but Mr. Thompson has not been a leader on such issues.

text: There will be no standardized admission test for some who apply to Old Dominion University. High school students who have a grade-point average of 3.3 or higher will not be required to submit SAT or ACT scores to ODU. The president of the Norfolk school says students from higher income families are more likely to take a class that prepares them for taking the test. That increases their chance of getting a higher score than a low-income student. ODU says the GPA is a stronger indication of success in college than a standardized test result.

Legislation fails to progress
Two evolution-related measures have failed to progress through the Montana legislature and are dead for this session. March 1 was the deadline for bills to pass in their first house. One potential bill, known by its draft number of LC1199, was never formally introduced. Sponsored by Rep. Roger Koopman, the bill had a short title reading: "Allow teaching competing theories of origin". This bill apparently never completed the drafting process.
Duelling legislation in the Treasure State
Following last year's debate over evolution education in the small Montana town of Darby, two bills have been proposed in the Montana legislature which take diametrically opposed stands on the place of evolution in the science classrooms of the state's public schools.
Darby board rejects "objective origins"
On July 5, 2004, the school board in Darby, Montana voted 3-2 not to adopt a proposed "objective origins policy" on its second reading. The policy had been tentatively approved on February 2 at its first reading, but is now rejected. The proposal sparked intense local controversy and national media attention earlier this year. The fate of the policy became the central issue in the May school board election, where two policy supporters were decisively defeated by opponents, resulting in the change in board majority from "pro" to "anti".
Pro-science candidates triumph in Montana
After the May 4, 2004, school board election in Darby, Montana, the proposed "objective origins" policy is likely to be dead in the water.
Helena censorship attempt fails

Fred Armisen is currently one of the longest running cast members on "SNL", second only to Seth Meyers, having been on the show since its 28th season starting in October of 2002. As one of the casts most seasoned members, he has a myriad of political impressions under his belt. Armisen has done impressions of political figures such as Hugo Chavez, George W. Bush, and Saddam Hussein, but his most famous impression is probably that of the United States current President, Barack Obama.
Armisen has portrayed the President of the United States on "SNL" since Season 33, beginning on Feburary 23rd of 2008, and has passed the torch to Jay Pharoah recently. Jay Pharoah is a relative newcomer to "SNL", but as of season 38 (and during the campaign) he took over the role of portraying Obama.
Armisen is currently promoting his IFC series "Portlandia", and he shared a few words on how he feels about the transfer of Obama to another cast member. "It feels incredible, it makes me feel like I am part of something bigger," Armisen said. "It's like SNL is its own living thing and we are just a part of that. Now we've both helped to paint this picture of the president. We've made some kind of art together." While Armisen has admitted that he will "never" portray Obama again on the show, he has nothing but good feelings for how Jay Pharoah owns the role. He says that watching the younger actor in the role of POTUS "makes me feel very proud."
Whose portrayal of Obama do you like better?

BOSTON Boston University's daily independent student newspaper is transitioning to a digital-first publication with a weekly print edition.
The Daily Free Press' Board of Directors announced the move Monday — the 44th anniversary of the paper's launching.
Though the print edition will go weekly, "[b]eginning this fall, [the publication] will publish content throughout the day on a new, redesigned website, which will launch this summer," Alex Nawar, the board's chairman, said in a statement announcing the decision.
"Less preoccupied with the pressures and constraints of daily print publication, our staff will have the opportunity to expend their time and energy on breaking news, investigative reporting, in-depth features and vivid multimedia," Nawar said.
A redesigned print edition will be distributed on Thursdays. The new print edition "will encompass the best of our staff's work," the board chairman said.
He added: "…this new business model will increase revenue from online sources and gives us the financial security to bring you award-winning journalism for at least another 44 years."
BU's student newspaper is not the first to make such a digital-first move. Two weeks ago, for instance, Columbia's daily student paper made a similar announcement.

Fire, Earth…

"…Moon in Taurus opposite Eros in Scorpio, Bast in Sagittarius…Fire, Earth, Water and something is missing, shit…this guy had better be an Air sign…"

He is a Gemini… both in awe of her and whimsically playing along :).. at peace 🙂
Am feeling the best have felt for a long time. Could be that work is dribbling in….and made a new woman friend. Saggo's love their friends.
Praying for AIR!!! My dear friend expecting first kiddo- he/she is taking time to arrive- already past due date by a few days! And these airy/fiery parents are WAITING for this wee Sun/Mercury/Pluto Cappy babe. I reassured her- and told her that nothing she did would make that baby hurry up.
Told her the Full Moon may well bring that wee one along.
Congrats! And blessings to you all.
I heard he was a third house Libra, Leo rising– Aqua sun! Cha ching 😛
Gosh sounds just like me! Moon in Taurus, Bast in Sagg, except ive got Venus in Scorpio and Eros conjunct Mars, Jupiter, Asc, and Neptune. Im a Libra but that dude is either a Gem or Pisces.
I saw that picture and thought "ah, yes, those were the days" but that was another life. Lol
He he, know someone who has a big Pele connection. Said he had a past life as one of her lovers, she would incarnate & make merry with her island's men.
The scenes I recall took place on an island, around Crete. I was researching volcanic activity in that region today. I guess the time was around 1600 BC. Its odd that I got a download of those life and times. I feel like I should write the story because the culture was unrecorded. I'm dominated by Mercury. Then Pisces came home with a volcanic painting he did. And then this picture…just thinking about it today.
You KNOW we need your earthed mystical wonderful writings, and you should take this Mystic-Pic-InspiRemembering as a Sign!
I have a Macedonian (well now it's more or less Macedonia) life from around that time that was just so complete. One of the more detailed recollections I have experienced. Down to the clothing etc. and how it felt to wear it. I get the impression it was a good time to be alive in that area, the vital village still connected to Gaia!
Sun, Mercury, Venus and Moon in Gem – For balance.
Tribal drums too please – can already hear the beat !
That is a very beautiful bromeliad.
oh isn't she just
I feel like that pic right now. Past beau has returned. Confusing because there is a current beau. What did Mystic say in prior post – mars (men) are essentially trying and preening and venus/women are indifferent, doing their thing. I don't want to decide. Too busy. One makes me feel like the pic and is loads of fun. The other is less demonstrative but sweet, steady and mellow. Ah, where were they when I had time?
Need Air…..soon!
If things are hot, wet, and dirty, why would you ever come up for air?
good one!
Good point, Although trust me there's plenty of fun to be found in the mind!
Arrrggghhhh no. That statement for me is so disturbing. I have had the past four years of being surrounded by blokes who can surfice with their fantasy. Oh gods am I so not that person. As I wrote to one of them the other day "I am into the residue and the ache" Stuff the mind. It's gotta be real.
I'm really right there with you charles!
Hehe… I don't mind a bit of of hot, wet, and dirty – Uranus/Pluto/Mars in Virgo conjunction in 8th.
In small doses though. Venus in Libra likes to come up for air. And Saggo moon gets restless.
What's your astro Emg? You're a Crab sun if I remember correctly?
Do you have an earthy chart?
Hey girl…I hear you. Libran NN sextile Uranus and then all the Gem stuff…
I actually had an experience of suffocating…long story…Not fun…x
LOL. Oh dear! 😯
What degree is your NN? My Venus is 7° In 9th house!! and it trines my Saggo moon 7°
So hot 'n heavy is fine as long as it's light and quick 😆
The thought of spending HOURS in bed. Ugh. Get claustrophobic thinking about it.
All I want is to spend hours in bed… 😡
Virgo Mars, Cap Venus, 8th house Moon 🙂
Alone or with someone?
Maybe I haven't met the right person yet 🙂
With someone! Always had a strong drive 🙂
That Cap Mars though… We started around 8 and didn't stop til 4 in the am. Yeah…
Hours and hours Bliss
but I can sometimes love that quicky grabbed at a glance. Yum
non-stop? WOW 😯
they don't call it "Horny Goat weed" for nothing. LOL!
Never had a Mars in Cap experience *sigh*… I've heard about their stamina. Would suit my Mars in Virgo and Cap Asc.
Mars in Virgo is all about regular doses for optimum health. It's all about the portions 🙂
I think a part of me liked the experience so much because I got such a good workout.
Was eating whatever the hell I wanted and was losing weight lol.
Pluto came and washed away all that though.
I think he wanted me to practice more portion control 😉
My Libran NN is 13 degrees in 5th. So we are conjunct by 6 degree orb…which works eh?
I will take you out and wine and dine but the convo should probably be stimulating (with your 9th house Libran Venus).
I've been to Europe and Hawaii twice…Can tell stories…
Will I qualify?
Nah, I only like boys but that Sagg Moon of yours means we could def rip up Palm Springs and give the boys straight and gay a run for their money heehee
The suffocation experience was about something in the astral realm and someone's astral body seeking to control me.
Hideous really and a pain that goes back to ancient times.
Anyway…Yes, I need air! x
hehe, would prefer a cup of coffee and a good old chin-wag but yes you qualify Sweetpea. Stimulating convo is a MUST! I like worldly people… people who've travelled and seen things.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe" one of my fave quotes from Bladerunner.
Love getting to know people… Saggo moon in 11th? But then Uranus square moon gets bored if you're not interesting enough. LOL.
Hi Scorpbot
I have so little else than water in my chart! Water water everywhere. Grand trine Neptune in 8 Scorp to saturn chiron in 1 pisces and moon mars jupt and sun in crab 4/5
Ah NN is earth Moooooo
Water finds the lowest levels and once I go down I like to stay down!!!!
NN is in Earth "Moo"
hilar… 🙂
"Water finds the lowest levels…"
Well put Emg..
I mean that in the essence of the water thing…not consciousness wise..but snorkeling and diving kinda thing…
When I have been underwater I often find the sunlight patterns on the bottom of the pool quite lovely and call it my "secret world"
Hey watched something on Discovery Channel the other week about Mermaids…was fascinating…Have you seen it?
If you mean the video evidence of mermaids in Israel, Britain and at the bottom of the sea, I have seen it and found it very interesting, Sweetpea. I was talking to a friend the other day who works in special effects animation and he dismissed it out of hand. But I don't see why there should Not be mermaids
"Water finds the lowest levels…"
That's beautiful!! 🙂
I guess you're in your element then.
I have Mercury in Scorp And neptune in Scorp conjunct my Sun but that's it as far as water is concerned. The rest is earth. Would rather walk through a rainforest than go sailing.
I like being NEAR water but not IN it. It frightens and overwhelms me sometimes. Had a panic attack last time i snorkelled. 😯 I must have drowned in a past life.
HEART. Go Planet!
Insomnia the last 2 nights…..venus retrograde in my 5th house. I keep thinking too much and ex flings not thought of in awhile have come to mind. I don't want them, just reviewing. Then there is the still regret/anger/shock of the last serious relationship. wtf? Yet I saw him just before he moved cross continent. I felt peace and wished him the best. I even sent a note, saying how well I was. I meant it. but…..Then I realized he made me go to the dark with my anger, then get help. I am so much more patient, calmer, less reactive than I have ever been. Which has all come mightly in hand dealing with my Pisces son as he unraveled, defiance and volatileness swinging in each hand. For that, I am grateful, because there was 2 weeks where things were beyond hard to handle. sigh…..but he is much better.
My son, he became a source of unharmony, to the family and to my relationship. Was so hard, knowing in one second I could turn my back on my lover, the one I have been happiest with, and never look back. That is the love of a mother for her child. It was close to happening and we both knew it. Torro pulled through though as I suspected he would. Now I am about to make a decision to give my son freedom again after a month long restriction of sorts. It may cause strife and for that I am resigned. I am the mother. I hope my son does not screw it up again. I hope and pray he has learned some lessons.
The Torro sun, scorpio moon, he loved me up well, me with my taurus mars. Tonight though I am out of town. I just realized he has no fire! except that generational neptune in sag. But he is firey, redheaded Irish man.
~This guy had better be an Air sign~
Ha, funny cuz I was just out to Mexican combo plate lunch (needed a fix) with *moi* and was flipping thru my notebook cuz doing my budget for the weekend and came across this…back in June when the NDNA and me hit the rocks after a very dysfunctional drunken stint of two Cap Saturns/his Moon/my Sun and nodes all in a gang bang in the Zap Zone..
"My Next Door ….Next Door Shadow
I awoke from this dream, or nightmere really, two glasses of wine down…
That allowed me to be mostly coherent. I would need at least a bottle or two to be really sloshed.
Seems I'd been at lunch time as the owner of the Mexican restaurant (the one I just ate at today..my fave), called me a cab.
At home, when I awoke around midnight, I didn't know where my car was. (Had forgotten the cab took me home).
I knocked on my condo mate's door saying I couldn't find my car. He said that…."
I didn't finish the sentence.
Currently, trans Cap Sun/Mercury/Venus are conjunct my Moon in 8th. I've come a long way since last summer and thank gawd that mess/karmic sitch was short shrift… 😯 lol
night ~mare~
wuldn't sure on the spellin'
~They say a secret is something you tell another person…so I'm tellin' you child~
~Every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief..~
Always loved Bono's lyrics…
Hey, Bono Toro, Scorp Moon, Cap rising..
Look at that kite with it all pointing to his Toro…
Conjunct my Venus and Lilith…thats why I love him so. He is progressive for women (from what I hear in his lyrics) and reminds me of our davey…
Ha, he ain't got diddly (major) in Air…
Yeah Charles, why would you come up? lol
HOnest, I don't plan stuff this way. Mystic just sets me off and then shit happens…lol
and we love sweets mwah
In watching the video, hilar as all get out that Toro in his recliner with uber remote control…
He has Venus opposite Neptune and so he really does care about the social issues, you know?
x to you too groovey..
Obviously air – Libran worshipping at beauty's feet

I'm having a little headache with Zimbra Rights system. Not because it's complicated but because some rights just don't work.
My next task is to create an admin group for our provisioning dept so they can manage domains, accounts, aliases, DLs, and resources globally.
Here are some issues I encountered (chronologically):
- By default, when you create a admin group, Zimbra will add default rights for domain admin (e.g. domainA.com). I changed it from domain specific to global.
- Want to edit an account under domainB.com, can't see the last name. Try to edit user domainA.com, can see the last name. *I believe there are many other fields, last name is just one of them*
- The domain can only list, cannot add new domain. Added rights createTopDomain & createSubDomain. *hooray can see the add domain button*
- when creating domain, *oops* another error.. Need to add account.zimbraContactMaxNumEntries & account.zimbraIsSystemResource
- try to modify a domain, can't see "account limits" tab. I add adminConsoleDomainLimitsTabRights, setAdminConsoleDomainLimitsTab, viewAdminConsoleDomainLimitsTab but still can't see the tabs.. @(*@(%)
- Give up and decide to rant here :-p
I'm just hoping next release is tested carefully... Thanks for reading

|An example of nearly integrable Hamiltonian system with a trajectory dense in a set of almost maximal Hausdorff dimension
|Center for Dynamics and Geometry Seminars
|V. Kaloshin, Maryland
|In his ICM'98 talk Herman stated the following old problem: Construct an example of a nearly integrable Hamiltonian system with a dense orbit on an energy surface. During the talk departing we shall describe an example of a nearly integrable Hamiltonian system with an orbit dense in a set of an almost maximal Hausdorff dimension. Construction of this example relies on ideas of an example of Arnold diffusion due to the author and M. Levi, described in the seminar on September 15. This is a joint work with M. Levi and M. Saprykina.
