Not a doctor so i don't want to make guesses... but I'll add another "he's adorable!" So cute! I'm glad that you're getting some answers!
I'm glad that the spinal tap is normal but am so sorry that they had to do one on him. I really do hope that you get some very good answers soon. If he was having seizures could that have caused the change in his poop? I am still praying for you all.

Sending tons of good thoughts your way. I hope you get some answers soon!
This is MammaMia. I've lost my password.
I'm so sorry for all you are going through! Praying for you!
Glad his spinal tap checked out okay. I hope you get to the bottom of this quickly.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I tried to send you a pm last week, but I'm not sure if I sent it, I was on my phone. I wanted to reach out to you because I know exactly what you are going through. My little guy was admitted to the hospital on Nov. 4th at 7 weeks old for apnea episodes. He would stop breathing for 10 to 15 seconds. I can't tell you how many times I pleaded with God. A doctor saw his episode on the nurse's monitor and came in to check on him. At that moment he was having a seizure and the doctor witnessed it. My poor baby had to endure countless blood tests, spinal, EEg, MRI, u/s of his brain, and 7 days in the hospital. I thought, "If someone sticks my baby one more time I'm going to lose it." Unfortunately, his spinal came back with white blood cells. So, they had to send out for additional testing and treat him as if he had herpes (which I knew better) and meningitis. He had so many problems with the IV in his arm that they eventually moved it to his head I know how much it means to be able to hold and nurse your baby. Just knowing they know your there for them makes a world of difference.
My DS has since been on meds for the seizures. We have switched meds and changed doses a few times. It's always a struggle for me to watch him go through them. I have never felt so helpless.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. If you have any questions or need to vent, I am here to listen. I'm so sorry you and your DS are going through this. Big Big Hugs!!!

You actual posted a visitor message on my profile. I replied to you there. I'm so sorry your little one had to go through all that. they really believe the seizures are not hurting him but they told me only time will tell. They are doing a ph test today to see if they are caused by acid reflux. Our babies are so close in age. Let's hope they grow out of them!
The ph test consists of a tube going through his nose to his throat. It will let us know if reflux is there and how bad.
His spinal tap did come back with red blood cells but they said it was because they had to stick him several times.
I wish I would have seen the message. I thought I sent one to your inbox.
Your poor little guy!! I can't imagine a tube going down his throat. I assume they will want to sedate him? They had mentioned that for the MRI we had, but luckily the nurse let me bf right before and he slept the whole time. When will they have the results for that? I'm so sorry! My heart aches for you guys.

They didn't want to do the MRI since the ct scan came back normal. I still don't understand why.
He has the tube put in now. No sedation. They just pushed it in :/. I'm so ready to find out what this is.
If it means anything, I was scheduled to do the same PH tests (one where they make you swallow/scan with that in your stomach and the one where you wear it down your nose for 24 hours) last month. We postponed (perhaps cancelled) when I had to have surgery for something else, but it's fairly common. It sounded awful, but as I researched, it seems that with the numbing creme in your nose, it's not as bad as it sounds. It's standard for measuring the amount of acid that comes up. One should be able to eat as normal; they even told me that I could go to work with it in - but small as it might have been, I wasn't planning to walk around with a tube taped outside of my nose. (Probably somewhat different for infants, but same idea?)
Anyway, I hope that both of your kids are okay. Hope that you get resolution soon.

Thanks so much ladies. You are awesome.
Well as expected we had a rough night. Him only being able to eat every four hours has made my hungry man so fussy. He is just not having it. So ready for 1:30....5 more hours and then I can feed my man whenever I want. I'm so ready for answers and so ready not to torture him anymore. We should be getting discharged today.
Poor baby and mom! I'd be cranky, too, if I couldn't eat when I was hungry. Both of my kids would have been miserable as they always ate every two hours.

Paradoxes of EU non-membership
What are the democratic implications for Norway, Switzerland and other third countries of being affiliated EU non-members?
The 'musts' of European integration
European citizens have been humiliated by how the Eurozone crisis has been handled, Erik O. Eriksen claims in a recent book.
Challenges for Norwegian democracy
Norway lacks fundamental debates and distinct political alternatives, Johan P. Olsen states in his latest book.
Prizes to Helene Sjursen
Helene Sjursen has been awarded a prize for the most downloaded special issue by the Journal of European Public Policy.
ARENA contributes to informed debate
'For those of us working with European issues it is crucial to understand not only what is happening in Europe, but also why it happens. ARENA contributes to this', Europe Minister Vidar Helgesen said.
From secondary to primary elections
With Euroscepticism on the rise and increased contestation over the EU as a political entity, will the 2014 European Parliament elections become more politicized than ever?
Escaping the Eurocrisis
The EU financial crisis has pushed thousands of citizens to migrate in a bid to escape uncertainty, unemployment and poverty. Many pick Norway as their destination. What are their experiences?
The Norwegian Constitution in international perspective
Does Europe, which has been key to the development of the Norwegian Constitution and democracy, constitute the biggest threat against constitutional democracy in Norway today?
Financial crisis = political chaos?
Southern Europe has been severely struck by the financial crisis, in social as well as political terms. How has the crisis been handled, and could it have been done differently?
More knowledge on Europe in crisis
ARENA has been granted NOK 24 million from the Research Council of Norway for a cross-disciplinary project to investigate a more segmented Europe.
EPISTO kicked off
Around 60 participants contributed to the kick-off conference of the EPISTO project, which is led by Cathrine Holst.
Europe in crises, Europe as the crisis?
The 'Europe in crises'-conference gathered prominent international scholars as well as practitioners to discuss the EU crisis.
EPISTO Kick-off Conference
EPISTO inquires into the role of knowledge and expertise in modern democracies with a particular focus on 'epistocratic' developments in the European Union (epistocracy = rule of the knowers).
Nationalism is the last refuge of the bankers
It is trivial to say that the European Union is going through an existential crisis. But which crisis? Whose crisis?, Agustín J. Menéndez writes.
The 1814-lectures: Fear and Freedom
Jan-Werner Müller from Princeton University gave the lecture 'Fear and Freedom: The Legacies of Mid-Twentieth-Century Liberalism' on 22 October.
Law and Democracy in Neil MacCormick's Legal and Political Theory
Originally intended as a celebration of MacCormick's work this book has turned into a homage and salute after MacCormick's passing.
Europe's democratic challenge
RECON's outreach conference in November presented findings from 5 years of research. See the whole seminar here.
Where is European democracy heading?
Democracy has historically developed at a national level but, with increasing internationalisation of politics, does the concept need re-working?
A wake up call for the West
The Dutch journalist Geert Mak presented a powerful wake up call for us, citizens of the West, regarding our self-images and the need to revise them.
Forging a constitution
The European Union has given rise to important constitutional conundrums and paradoxes, as John Erik Fossum and Agustín José Menéndez explore in detail in their new book, 'The Constitution's Gift'.
Organization, power and appropriateness
Professor Emeritus Johan P. Olsen is one of Norway's most prominent, most renowned and most cited social scientists.
A more personal book
– My new book is an attempt to understand not only what is happening in political science and institutional analysis, but also an attempt to understand what I have been doing over the last 40 years.
Media empower national parliamentarians
Controversial political debates may affect the course of European integration as mass media empower national parliamentarians in EU decision-making.
More multinational than before
The staff of the so-called cabinets of the European Commission are more multinational than before.

Good morning! Very shilly start for us across the Inland Northwest this morning. Look for clouds and patchy fog this morning with areas of frost not our of the question. Temperatures are much cooler this morning than they have been in at least a week.
This afternoon most of us should stay dry the exception is the north Idaho Panhandle with a slight chance sprinkles and flurries. If you're headed out with your sweetheart tonight--conditions should be moderate. Upper 30s for our highs and mostly dry condtions expected.
We should stay mostly dry through Friday with a chance of some showers to start the weekend.

Authorities have released the identity of the two suspects involved in a Gregg County manhunt Monday morning.
According to Gregg County Sheriff's Office, 26-year-old Kindrex Lydell Richards was captured after fleeing into a wooded cemetery in Gregg County after DPS stopped his vehicle. The passenger of that vehicle, 24-year-old Samantha Shunta Johnson, was also taken into custody.
Richards is being charged with evading arrest and possession of marijuana. His bond has been set at $17,500. Johnson faces one charge of possession of marijuana. Her bond has been set at $15,000. As of Tuesday, both suspects remain in Gregg County Jail
Kilgore police, along with Gregg County sheriff deputies and DPS officers, searched in and around the Smith Family Cemetery and landfill in the county. The cemetery is located at FM 1252 near Highway 42.
Gregg County Sheriff's Department's Lieutenant David Taylor said that after a traffic stop on Interstate 20, the male suspect fled the scene, barefoot, into the woods.

NCI Program Will Spend $95 Million to Reduce Cancer in Minorities
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) recently launched a new program to reduce cancer deaths among minority and underserved populations through $95 million in grants that will fund community-based projects in geographically and culturally diverse areas of the country.
The new initiative, the Community Networks Program (CNP), was announced on May 6 by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Michael Leavitt. It is part of NCI's ongoing efforts to understand why some population groups - often minorities and the poor - have higher cancer rates than others, and to eliminate disparities by involving local communities in education, research, and training.
"To win the war against cancer we need to better understand the areas where we know that people are dying at higher rates, and we need to find ways to target these communities with culturally relevant approaches," said Dr. Harold Freeman, director of NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), which oversees CNP.

Women and Cancer: Celebrating Advances, Planning for Progress
Just 2 weeks ago we learned that two trials testing trastuzumab (Herceptin) against early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer were being stopped early because the combination of trastuzumab and standard chemotherapy reduced cancer recurrence risk by more than half compared with chemotherapy alone.
The findings represent the latest step in a sustained journey of progress in preventing, diagnosing, and treating cancer in women (see "Notes") - certain to be a topic at the health education and other events scheduled as part of National Women's Health Week.
There is still much work to be done to blunt cancer's impact on women. Nearly 663,000 women will be diagnosed with cancer this year, and 275,000 will die. That said, the late 1990s saw cancer incidence rates in women begin to dip after 9 years of stable rates, while mortality rates have sunk for 8 of the top 15 cancers in women. Read more
NCI Program Will Spend $95 Million to Reduce Cancer in Minorities
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) recently launched a new program to reduce cancer deaths among minority and underserved populations through $95 million in grants that will fund community-based projects in geographically and culturally diverse areas of the country.

"To win the war against cancer we need to better understand the areas where we know that people are dying at higher rates, and we need to find ways to target these communities with culturally relevant approaches," said Dr. Harold Freeman, director of NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), which oversees CNP.
CNP will include up to 25 projects that reach African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, Hawaiian Natives and other Pacific Islanders, Asians, Hispanics/Latinos, and the rural poor. Twelve grantees will concentrate in local areas, seven in regional ones, and six in national programs.
"It's clear that strategies for preventing cancer are most effective when tailored to a particular community," commented Dr. Freeman. "We have to find ways to apply what we've discovered about reducing cancer deaths on a local level."
Each CNP project will form an advisory group that will serve as the "voice of the community" to seek information from the community and deliver results back to it. Grantees will also work closely with policy makers and nongovernmental funding sources. CNP grantees and NCI will train investigators, identify potential research opportunities, and ensure that research findings are disseminated broadly.
Considerable research has been done on cancer disparities over the last 5 years through the Special Populations Networks program, also overseen by CRCHD. That program, which ends this year, focused on raising awareness about disparities and forging partnerships between research institutions and communities.
The CNP initiative requires grantees to apply the research and show progress toward the goal. "With this program, we are having grantees actually reduce cancer disparities in their communities," said Dr. Kenneth Chu, CNP program director. "Efforts like CNP are vital to ensuring that those who are closest to the problem are closest to the solution."
The aim is to find ways to stimulate people in these communities to adopt proven strategies or interventions for reducing cancer deaths. These include programs to eliminate smoking and increase healthy lifestyles, as well as to screen for the early detection of breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers.
Each CNP project will have three phases. The first phase will focus on developing infrastructure for reducing cancer disparities; the second will include pilot research projects in which local investigators can develop and test interventions. The third phase will focus on ways to sustain interventions once the CNP funds expire.
While cancer is the focus of the program, researchers are optimistic that what they learn can be applied to reducing health disparities in general. "We are building an infrastructure and the skills communities need to address a broad range of health disparities," said Dr. Chu.

Women and Cancer: Celebrating Advances, Planning for Progress

That said, the late 1990s saw cancer incidence rates in women begin to dip after 9 years of stable rates, while mortality rates have sunk for 8 of the top 15 cancers in women.
Breast cancer is an excellent example of progress, based on our increasing knowledge of molecular oncology, including the results seen with aromatase inhibitors to treat estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer and the lessons learned about the role of exercise and diet in prevention.
But breast cancer is by no means a solo success story. For cervical cancer, in addition to the advances made with HPV vaccines, NCI also is funding research to test whether a new DNA test can effectively triage equivocal Pap test interpretations. And then there are the critical efforts of NCI's CRCHD to address disparities in cervical cancer mortality among minority groups and underserved populations.
As noted in NCI's 2004 annual Report to the Nation, for the first time since statistics have been collected, lung cancer incidence rates among women are declining. To maintain this progress, an NCI-led group of experts last year released Women, Tobacco, and Cancer: An Agenda for the 21st Century. The report provides a blueprint for reducing and eliminating the harmful effects of smoking in women which extend far beyond lung cancer to cancers of the cervix, bladder, kidney, and other sites.
NCI is funding efforts to develop proteomic-based screening tests to detect ovarian cancer at early stages when it is more treatable. Research to develop a high-throughput assay may help to identify women at high risk for endometrial cancer recurrence who might benefit from adjuvant therapy in addition to surgery.
Meanwhile, many of NCI's Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs) are developing biomarkers and new treatments for breast, ovarian, cervical, and uterine cancer. Through the NCI Mouse Models of Human Cancer Consortium, we are making progress in developing mouse models that more closely mimic human cancers that uniquely affect women.
I'd like to extend my sincere gratitude to the NCI Office of Women's Health for providing guidance to NCI's research programs related to women's health activities and helping advance research on women's cancers. From committed advocates to basic researchers, we have worked as a community to achieve important progress in this area, and I'm confident that the next decade will bring more of the same.

Lung Cancer in Women - Could it be a Hormone Problem?
While recent reports have shown that, overall, cancer incidence and mortality are decreasing, they have also revealed a disturbing trend: although lung cancer incidence in men has been steadily decreasing since its peak in the late 1980s, it continued to increase in women after this time and didn't take a downward turn until 2000. The number of men dying from the disease has been falling, but lung cancer deaths among women have held relatively steady.
Incidence and mortality aren't the only differences when it comes to lung cancer. Among those who smoke, women are more likely to get small-cell lung cancer, a particularly aggressive form of the disease, than they are to get non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), while their male counterparts have an equal risk of developing the two. Female smokers are also more likely to develop adenocarcinoma, a glandular form of lung cancer similar to that found in the breast, than are men. And among people who have never smoked but developed lung cancer, more than twice as many of them are women as are men.
"These patterns suggest that there might be different pathways through which the disease develops in men and women," says Dr. Jill Siegfried, a professor in the pharmacology department and head of the NCI-funded Lung SPORE at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. To identify the point of divergence, Dr. Siegfried and her SPORE team are looking at one of the most basic factors in female physiology: the estrogen receptor.
Estrogen receptors, which stimulate cell growth and division in the presence of the hormone estrogen, are most commonly found in female reproductive organs such as the ovaries and the breasts. But these receptors are found in other tissues, too, including the hypothalamus in the brain, the esophagus, the colon, the nervous system, and the lungs. The receptor comes in two forms (alpha and beta) and they differ not only in function, but also in tissue prevalence. In lung tissue, beta receptors are the most common and may play a role in the development of alveoli, the clusters of tiny sacs in the lung where gasses are exchanged between blood and inhaled air.
Research indicates that estrogen doesn't necessarily initiate malignancy in lung tissue, but rather may fuel subsequent tumor growth by heightening cell proliferation and hindering apoptosis. In vitro studies showed that exposure to the hormone increased tumor size, while exposure in the presence of estrogen receptor blockers did not. There's also evidence that estrogen receptors can interact with oncogenes and other growth factor pathways, such as that of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which are linked to cancer. But Dr. Siegfried warns that this is still very new territory in lung cancer research. "If you think about breast cancer, researchers have been studying estrogen receptors for 40 years," she says. "We've only just opened this window."
While it isn't clear just how estrogen receptors are linked to lung cancer, the Pittsburgh Lung SPORE has found that estrogen-blocking drugs hold promise for slowing the disease. In vitro studies testing fulvestrant (Faslodex), an estrogen receptor blocker, with gefitinib (Iressa), the EGFR blocker, showed that the combination decreased NSCLC proliferation by up to 90 percent while increasing apoptosis twofold. Now the Lung SPORE is testing these two drugs in a phase I clinical trial. "So far, we've had no adverse effects," says Dr. Siegfried, "and we have seen some clinical responses, some lasting for quite a while." The next step is to plan a phase II trial comparing another EGFR blocker, erlotinib (Tarceva), alone and in combination with fulvestrant. "We're hoping to show that there will be at least a 50 percent increase, if not a doubling, in the response rate" to erlotinib with the addition of the estrogen receptor blocker, Dr. Siegfried says.
As more is learned about the etiology of lung cancer and the role of estrogen receptors, it is likely that researchers will find new ways to manipulate and block the various destructive pathways that underscore this disease. "That's the promise of the future," says Dr. Siegfried. And while her research on estrogen receptors is currently limited to women, because of studies showing that lung tumors can synthesize estrogen directly, drugs that work against lung cancer by blocking estrogen receptors may also hold promise for men with the disease.

During National Women's Health Week, almost 2,000 events and health screenings will take place around the country. It will be recognized by mayors and governors in towns and municipalities across 37 states.
How does the Office on Women's Health educate women about their cancer health?
We deliver these messages primarily through our National Women's Health Information Center - http://www.4woman.gov, 1-800-994-9662, TDD 1-888-220-5446 - which can help women connect to the many HHS resources. We also have a network of HHS Regional Office staff; model programs that focus on women's health, clinical care, and preventive services at academic health centers; and a variety of community sites in rural and frontier areas.
Has there been any change in women's attitudes about cancer in the past decade?
First-Line Therapy for Postmenopausal Women with Metastatic Breast Cancer
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigators
Why Is This Trial Important?
In this phase III trial, researchers are comparing the effectiveness of anastrozole alone or in combination with fulvestrant as first-line therapy in treating postmenopausal women who have hormone-sensitive, metastatic breast cancer.
"This study will show us whether there is an added benefit to combining fulvestrant with anastrozole as a first-line therapy," said Dr. Mehta. "Furthermore, this type of regimen may ultimately serve as a treatment for earlier breast cancer."

NCI's Cancer Research Network Studies Prophylactic Mastectomy
The NCI-supported Cancer Research Network (CRN), consisting of a dozen managed care organizations, is leveraging multidisciplinary teams of scientists to evaluate effective community interventions. A good example of CRN's collaborative approach is the "Program Testing Early Cancer Treatment and Screening" (PROTECTS) project, which recently produced two studies showing the preventive value of mastectomy in women at risk for breast cancer. (See related CRN study.)
One of the studies, published online March 28 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, analyzed the effectiveness of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM), in which women with breast cancer in one breast also have their healthy breast removed.
Dr. Lisa J. Herrinton, research scientist at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, and her colleagues devised a study that used data drawn from six of the participating health plans. The researchers examined automated health care data for 56,400 women diagnosed with breast cancer between 1979 and 1999. They identified 1,072 patients who had CPM and found that the procedure cut the risk of breast cancer occurring in the healthy breast by 97 percent. The risk of death from breast cancer was also 43 percent lower compared with a group of women with breast cancer who did not have CPM.
In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Kathy J. Helzlsouer, of the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, points out that there is an "overall low risk of second primary tumors" in women with unilateral breast cancer. The 43 percent reduction in risk of death among CPM patients translated into an 8 percent mortality rate during the average 5 years of follow-up for those who had CPM, compared with 12 percent mortality among patients who did not have the procedure.
The second study, published in the March 14 Archives of Internal Medicine, examined the usefulness of prophylactic mastectomy in women who did not have breast cancer but were at elevated risk for it, based on family history, atypical hyperplasia, or one or more unusual but benign biopsies. Dr. Ann M. Geiger of Kaiser Permanente Southern California and her colleagues used automated health care data to conduct a case-cohort study of 666,800 women with those risk factors.
Among that group, 276 had undergone bilateral prophylactic mastectomy (BPM) - removal of both healthy breasts. Less than 1 percent of those women subsequently developed breast cancer, compared with 4 percent of the at-risk women who did not have the BPM procedure.
"Weighing the risks and benefits of options to reduce second breast cancer in women with a personal history of breast cancer requires the quantification of harms as well as benefits," Dr. Helzlsouer concludes. "The next step is quantifying the harms, both physical and psychological, so women can weigh all of their options and make informed choices."

American Cancer Society and NCI Join Forces Against
Childhood Cancer
I was pleased to take part in last week's workshop on Childhood Cancer Targeted Therapeutics, cosponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS) and NCI. The meeting featured representatives from government, industry, academic research institutions, advocacy groups, philanthropic groups, and others. We came together to respond to the urgent and eloquent appeals of pediatric patient advocacy groups, such as the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation and the Children's Cause for Cancer Advocacy.
We are all concerned that despite the overall progress against pediatric cancers, current treatment is not sufficiently effective for about 25 percent of children diagnosed with cancer, and for those who are cured, there are risks of long-term side effects related to the curative treatment, including second cancers later in life. Future advances will not only require continued technological and scientific investment in childhood cancer research, but also a renewed commitment to public-private partnerships.
Building on a foundation of past investments, the research community is now poised to make considerable progress in identifying molecular targets that can be modulated for therapeutic advantage in adult cancer. We must keep in mind, however, that the financial incentives behind pharmaceutical research for adult cancer do not apply to childhood cancer because of the relatively smaller number of patients.
In a recent Institute of Medicine report, Making Better Drugs for Children with Cancer, public-private partnerships were identified as being "central to addressing this deficit, as neither the public sector nor the private sector working alone has sufficient resources or incentives to accomplish the necessary research and development activities."
Both ACS and NCI view this workshop as a first step toward new public-private partnerships that will help spur the development of molecular-targeted agents for childhood cancers. I would like to thank NCI's Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach and Dr. Harmon Eyre, ACS executive vice president of research and medical affairs, for organizing and leading this workshop. The next step will be to develop a set of successful collaborative efforts to stimulate and ensure target identification, credentialing, and validation.
The success of this effort is going to take the combined resources and coordination by ACS, NCI, and other groups involved. ACS, through its grassroots constituencies, can advocate for legislative change for new incentives leading to enthusiastic participation by biotech and pharmaceutical firms. We will do our part to bring an end to suffering and death due to childhood cancer.
Dr. Jerome W. Yates

Contemporary Daguerreotype Portraits by Tyler Suppha-Atthasitt
Contemporary Daguerreotype Portraits
by Tyler Suppha-Atthasitt
Reception: Sat, Nov 23, 4–5:30pm
I have forgone the use of digital photography for the 19th century Daguerreotype process; the first commercially viable means of portrait photography announced to the world in 1839, France. It is the production of both a positive and negative image on a mirror polished plate of silver. Unlike conventional silver processes, the image floats upon the plate surface, like steam on glass, and is fragile enough to be wiped away by the slightest touch, yet when properly sealed is incredibly archival. They are unique, non-replicable images resulting from the in-camera plate directly receiving the light reflected from the subject.
I regard my portraits as literal descriptions of the experience rather than an effort at conveying character or essence. The experience, which Roland Barthes once referred to as a "mini death", is a recognition which has been lost with instantaneous photography. Under the lengthy exposure required by the daguerreotype process, sitters are subject to a prolonged awareness of being transformed from a subject to an image-object. Being placed under the continuous scrutiny of the lens puts one in a vulnerable position, forces self reflection, a meditative contemplation which contributes to the elegiac quality of the plates.
I photograph from an intimate point of view, focusing mostly on the head and shoulders. Sitters are placed in a relaxed position within an isolated environment to minimize distraction. I remove myself to ensure the interaction between camera and subject remains true throughout the exposure, typically 1.5 to 2 minutes, resulting in a more private, introspective portrayal. In the more confrontational images, where the eyes of the sitter engage the viewer directly, the portrayed examine their own image being reflected in the lens of the camera. The viewer thus gazes into eyes of those gazing at themselves.
My daguerreotypes offer no conclusions about the nature of being. They are merely reflections of light, surface, and time, a unique record of process. These "magic mirrors" are the lasting impressions of my acquaintances. I photograph them intimately, with sincerity, the way I wish to remember them.
Tyler Suppha-Atthasitt was born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1976. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Weber State University in 2005. He has explored both traditional and non-traditional forms of photography throughout his career, his current interest being the daguerreotype process. His works have shown in several exhibitions including the "Contemporary Daguerreotype Exhibition" at Gallery Walk at Terminus in Atlanta, GA, "Image/Object: Contemporary Daguerreotypes" at The Center for Alternative Photography in New York, NY, and "Heritages De Daguerre: Exhibition of International Contemporary Daguerreotypes" at in Bry-sur-Marne, France. Tyler Suppha-Atthasitt currently lives and works in Ogden, Ut.

Bones: Photographs by Logan Havens
Bones: Photographs
by Logan Havens
Artist's Talk:Sat, May 4, 3:30pm
Reception:Sat, May 4, 4-5pm
Artist's Statement:
I have feared death, I have come close to death, I face death often, someday I will die, and I am comfortable with that. Death is the greatest and most universal fear. Fear keeps us from the things we love. When faced with the decision to complete a task we weigh the value of the rewards gained upon completion against our fears. If our fears are stronger than the reward we will never gain the reward, we will live in our fears.
Years ago I found a bone near a railway. I was intrigued with it. This bone was the symbol of my largest fear: death. I took it home and set it on my dresser. Over the months I looked at it and thought about it as I came and went. Over that period of time this fear changed to a respect. Every day this bone reminded me what my life is, and the role death plays. The fear still is there, but I am now comfortable with that fear. I see beauty and depth in the bone. This bone has become the first of my collection. I take each bone and photograph it the way I have come to see it. Each bone speaks that death is present weather I fear it or not, but such is the price of life. Death has become beautiful because it is also life. Each day is now lived as a gift with unlimited potential, uninhibited by the fears that once kept me from living.
Now go and see, do as I have done: Face your fear.
My name is Logan Havens. I am 25 years old. I work as a commercial and fine art photographer. I have been photographing for seven years and I am currently attending Brigham Young University in the Bachelors of Fine Arts of Photography. I am always moving and always doing something. I prefer to sleep outside, and I would rather be in the desert or mountains than just about anything.
Every week I bake my own bread because the way light filters through the window before it rakes across the countertop where I knead the dough is too much of an aesthetic experience to trade for convenience or possibly better tasting bread. But hey, I do bake a mean loaf of bread!
I enjoy simplicity. Photography is important to me because life is extraordinary. Being able to capture what my mind sees creates something tangible that has the potential to inspire, motivate, or change somebody.
I am grateful to my friends, family and professors who enable, coach, and support me. I truly would not be where, or who I am, if it was not for their influence.

After issuing arrest warrants for two men police say were involved in the kidnapping and robbery of a University of Toledo foreign exchange student, one has turned himself in to authorities.
The victim was held inside a Bowling Green home at knifepoint across the street from a daycare, while a group of suspects took his credit cards and went shopping.
"Not being Asian, the store manager asked for some identification, at which point, he left and the transaction didn't go through," explained Major Tony Hetrick.
It was later determined that Blake Long was renovating the home and two weeks before the kidnapping, filed a police report asking them to keep an eye on the property.
"Blake Long was painting that house. It was vacant and he had made a report that some of his items had been stolen from the residence," explained Hetrick.
His sister, Brittany, was taken into custody last week. Police say she picked up the victim after her friend, Hui Zang, lured him in an online chat room pretending they would take him on a trip to Cedar Point. Zang even pretended to be a victim.
After leaving the home, the suspects continued to hold the victim hostage at the Econo Lodge in Holland.
Bowling Green Police issued warrants for Blake Long and Nicholas Martinez for the alleged incident that happened earlier this month. Police say the men were identified during the course of their investigation. Long, the brother of Brittany Long, turned himself into the Bowling Green Municipal Court Thursday afternoon.
The fourth and final suspect, Martinez, remains on the run. The 19-year-old is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 180 pounds. Police want to warn the public that he could be armed and should not be approached.
If you know the whereabouts of Martinez, contact the Bowling Green Police Division at 419-352-2571 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-54CRIME.

Chrissy I don't know. But this might be TMI but here it goes anyway. I one day was a bit bloated feeling, nothing too unusual though. I got my weight on the wii fit and than did 5 minutes of hooping...that is it! The hooping, um expelled some gas I didn't even realize was waiting....just for kickes I weighed again in just five minutes I lost .9 of a lb.
So really a little bit of gas, needing to use the bathroom, a little water retention...could easily be several pounds that could change quickly.
I'm sure mine is AF related. I was on a steady decline in lbs and then suddenly halted...I wasn't worried about it, but then the next day AF showed her ugly head so I'm assuming that is why my decline ended. And yes, I'm hoping that I'll lose another 2-3 lbs water weight.
And speaking of character vs non-character toys and imagination, my sister and I never had any commercial or character toys. Most of ours were handmade, or hand-me-downs from our parents (you should see the ratty 60-year-old teddy bear I still have). Although my sister and I played imaginatively a lot, we still did things like name our rag dolls after Ozma in the Oz series, and the Ozmas did a lot of things we picked up from the books. So even though they weren't commercial toys, and looked more like socks than princesses, we still used plots we were familiar with. I don't think there's any escape from it.
Bridget, I am seriously jealous of your dad. He sounds awesome.
I love your midwife bumper sticker, Midge.
Somebody who charts their cycles should weigh themselves everyday for a few cycles and see if they notice any trends in weight gain/loss.
Maybe this is tmi, but there are a few days every month where I queef a lot, so I'm going to start marking those days on my chart see if they are ovulation queefs or something
And ita about moderation in everything. I think that if the boy with the generic cowboy watches all the Toy Story movies all the time, the most imaginative thing he will do is imagine his cowboy is Woody. If the second boy has never seen Toy Story, or only seen it once or twice, he might use his Woody as a regular cowboy. So more than keep certain toys from my kids I hope to encourage a lifestyle that encourages imaginative play. Limit tv time, limit character and electronic toys, lots of reading, and lots of time on the floor playing and interacting with my kids, going to parks and museums (where we can learn about jet pakcs ) and just showing them what an amazing place the world is. but if he really wants a Woody doll I get him one, and if they are best friends I'll be just as happy as I would if his generic cowboy was his bff.
My cousins watch a lot of tv and movies, they own a lot of character toys. The only generic toys they had were barbies, but then they got all the barbie movies. They are smart kids, they are cute and I love them. But I don't enjoy spending time with them, they are not very fun, or funny, and being with them gets old quickly. Sometimes I think their parents get bored with them too, which is why the amount of tv time they get increases so much
I've been so touched my human kindness lately. I got a huge, totally stunning bouquet of flowers from dbf's sister's husband's sister in Canada. I have only met her the two times we traveled there but her and I kind of hit it off right away and drank a lot of wine together one night. I was so surprised and every time I look at the flowers it warms my heart.
Last night I was looking through my mom's sympathy cards and I found one from my kindergarten teacher! It was to my dad and said she saw in the paper that my mom had passed and was so sad. That she remembered my mom's smile and that she was always one of her "favorite parents" back when she "had the pleasure of teaching your children".
One of my really good friends has a housemate that I met about a year ago. The only time I have ever spent with her is the once every few months that I go to see my friend and she is always there and hangs out with us. She's really lovely and I like her a lot. She has some prints in her house by this artist that I always comment on when I go there. Well she found out that I am pregnant and bought me a baby journal by that artist called, First 1000 Days.
I love it when I am rejuvinated by the human spirit.

I think it's because you get back what you put into the world. You're genuinely a nice, sweet person and people cannot help but want to show their support of you. As with your parents. I know where you got it from.
Sometimes I feel like my life is going nowhere. I'm so ready to start the next part of my life, whatever that may be, but I'm stuck. Before I got pregnant I was looking at jobs (but not sure if I could put my kids in daycare). I really want to buy a house but we know we won't be in AK forever. I feel like there's something I should be doing that I'm not. DH keeps saying "but you're pregnant! That's doing something!" Well, yes. That's doing something very important! But it's doing something that I've been doing for the past 5 years since I got pregnant with Lola- working on my family. Not to say I want to STOP working on my family, because I don't. I just feel like I've been at this same place for too long and it's time to start the next adventure. Of course, that's going to be a lot harder now that I'll have three kids to take care of, not that it was ever easy with DH being in the military and causing our lives to be in a permanent state of unknowing, but it will be harder. I'm wondering if maybe I'm just not looking hard enough or setting my goals high enough.
Only you can decide what you want to be when you grow up (so to speak) but if you're feeling the urge to move forward for yourself, then I encourage you to start looking. Even if that means just taking 1-2 classes online at a time for now. At least you'd be moving in a direction and maybe that would stem the 'stuck' feeling you're having now.
You can absolutely continue working on your family and yourself at the same time. It's my belief that I'm a better mother because I have fulfillment outside of my mother and wife duties. I know not everyone is geared that way, but I'm just letting you know that it is possible. Don't think that you have to sacrifice your family to grow yourself.
I confess that I'm kind of annoyed with DH. Not too much, but I hate that he won't stand up for himself and what he believes in. He was working with another apprentice yesterday who brought up the topic of conversation. From what DH told me, it sounds like he was preaching to him, especially after DH told him he wasn't religious. ("I said that I believe in God, but only to shut him up. Then I went on to say 'but I'm not religious. I don't go to church or anything.'") Apparently that opened the flood gates.
Argh! I hate people harping on my DH. He's such a mellow, passive kind of guy. He wouldn't be able to tell him to STFU even if he wanted to... wish I was there.
Bridget, that is SO sweet about your DH selling the car. And I'm glad people are showing you love and support in this time.
To add a final two cents on the play thing, I think in the end it all comes down to limiting television time and providing as much time reading, exploring, and creating as possible. I do think just sitting in front of a television all the time stunts creativity (although I agree with Stash that to an extent it does open the mind to new concepts and experiences).
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Bridget your dad seems like such a great guy and it is so wonderful that you are being shown such kindness. I know when I'm shown some kindness when dealing with some of life's stresses, it is very refreshing and renewing for me.
TS3 was cute! Lorelai loved it and I cried at the end. I had to keep reminding myself that it was about TOYS.
Yeah, I was going to say, make sure your kids bring tissues, Chrissy! I know it's about toys...but it almost makes me feel bad for them, you know? I want to keep every single toy Josh gets now, LOL
Cass, I agree with whoever said you should go for trying something new. Even something simple like an online class or a new hobby or something can really open doors.
The sad thing is, I took some online classes last summer and I hated it. I've always really liked school, I don't want to feel that way about it. But it was just not fun at all.
At this point, I'd just be happy with a vacation. We're going home in August. We'll see how that goes. But I think seeing all those people, my family and friends, will just remind me that I don't have a normal life and won't for a while. I think I'm just sort of "over" the army right now. I'm tired of them dictating MY life.
I really like online classes because I don't have to be around people who don't want to be there, or deal with any distractions (besides the ones at home LOL). I took that one writing class and I don't know if this is typical of adult online classes but she really didn't give any feedback. She loved everything everyone wrote LOL I feel like I learned some things from the other people taking the class though, because there were some really good writers.
Cass - I wish I was still up there so we could be mommy friends IRL.
Bridget - Your dad is amazing! I totally agree with the "You get back what you put into the world" thing. You are truly an amazing woman, and from the stories of your parents, we can all see exactly where that came from!
Chrissy - I'd be testifying about seeing the guy at the party we were at, etc.. I was the one who took my friend to the hospital when she came running inside bawling her eyes out.. etc.
I confess B missed his court date earlier this week and now has a warrant out for his arrest. and apparently also lost his job, and was kicked out of the place he was living.....
I sure know how to pick em, huh?

September 12, 1961
WallaceG. Vvetoenborn
Harris Trust & Savings Dank
111 est Monroe Street
Chicago 90, Illinois
Dear Mr. Weisenbom:
\\ e are enclosing a brochure which can be reviewed fairly quickly for an over-all
perspective on management, key personnel, history of the organization and a took at
future aspirations.
Certified audit reports covering the past ten years of operation of Utah Cooperative Association and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Uinta Oil Refining Company, are
being mailed to you under separate cover. The PAX Division of Utah Cooperative
Association was spun off as a separate, wholly-owned corporation on July 1, I960.
Audit reports of the three companies for the year ended June 30, 1961, are not yet
available but will be submitted to you in person at our October meeting.
Consolidated operating results for the year ended June 30, 1961, will reflect a
net loss of nearly $300,000. Ninety-five per cent of this toss resulted from operations of the PAX Company. e plan to furnish substantially more detail concerning
this loss at our October meeting tliaa we can cover in this letter.
A brief resume of the problem areas are presented below:
1. In the Spring of 1960, me PAX Division of Utah Cooperative Association launched four new products on the national market on a guaranteed sale basis. V liile two of
the products were fai riy successful and will be retained in the family line of PAX
products, the other two did not meet with dealer or consumer acceptance. During the
last fiscal year, the PAX Company incurred approximately $175,000 In promotion and
other related expenses in an attempt to move existing Inventories to the consumer.
The results have Indicated that it would be unwise to budget additional expenditures.
Conservative accounting practices dictated a write-off on all company-owned and
jobber-held inventories amounting to $124,000. While we will undoubtedly salvage
a portion of tills write-off during the current year, we feel that the new manager erf
the PAX Company should not be burdened and his talents absorbed with these "inherits,
ed" inventory problems.
2. No. 5 burner fuel, a residual product from the refining processes of Uinta
Oil Refining Company, has In past years yielded an average netback of over seven

Report: Spielberg In Talks to Produce Halo MovieFilm site IESB is reporting that Steven Spielberg is in "active negotiations" to produce a film based on the Halo franchise.
Specifically, Spielberg is said to be "blown away" by screenwriter Stuart Beattie's (Pirates of the Caribbean, Collateral) recent spec script based on the Eric Nyland novel "Halo: The Fall of Reach."
"Reach" serves as a prequel to the original Halo game, explaining the origins of the Spartan soldiers and Halo hero Master Chief.
Earlier this year, Latino Review posted a spoiler-filled synopsis of Beattie's "Reach" script, which can be read below:
The script is, first and foremost, a character-driven story about a soldier named John who was kidnapped or "conscripted" by the UNSC when he was just six years old, and then brutally trained to become an elite Spartan warrior known as Master Chief 117.
The script then takes us through the horrific first contact with the Covenant hordes on the doomed colony world of Harvest, and then climaxes with the spectacular fall of the UNSC forward base on Reach, during which every other Spartan is slaughtered.
The script also gives detailed outlines for the second movie, HALO: RISE OF THE FLOOD, which takes place entirely on the Halo ringworld, and the third and final movie, HALO: BATTLE FOR EARTH, which roughly follows the events of Halo 3, the game.
One cool advantage of this first script is that (like the shark in JAWS) you don't even see the Covenant until halfway through the movie. And because all the creatures are CGI creations, this cuts the budget down dramatically and makes a first Halo movie that much more viable. For Halo fans, it's like the prequel that provides all the answers to questions they've thought about for years. For non Halo fans, it's an exciting action movie that provides a clear, concise introduction to a world five hundred years in the future with relatable characters and a terrifying alien menace.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — No Tom Brady. No Aaron Rodgers. No Ben Roethlisberger. Not a Manning in sight.
Super Bowl has a pair of fresh faces at quarterback, bona fide nobodies as far as the NFL title game goes. One will leave New Orleans as football's newest star.
For Colin Kaepernick and Joe Flacco, this is new territory. And, of course, exactly where they want to be.

text: HILLSDALE Ś The Hillsdale County Road Commission will turn its attention to road maintenance in the coming weeks with the completion of its construction season. Over the winter months when crews arenÆt plowing, their focus will be cutting down the numerous dead trees alongside the county roads. The dead trees fall during high winds, ice and storms blocking roadways and creating traffic hazards. The county is once again looking for the help of property owners. ōWe do not have time to cut up or haul away the wood from this large number of trees,ö said Sam Gier, operations superintendent in a press release. ōGiven the large number of people that burn wood for heating, we hope that the public will take advantage of this opportunity to cut up seasoned wood ready for burning.ö Trees will be dropped in the fields for property owners to cut up. Property owners that donÆt want the wood can give permission to friends and neighbors to cut up the wood. Anyone cutting wood on private property must have permission from the property owner. Land owners will not be contacted before the trees are cut. ōIt is very unlikely that we will get all of the dead trees this winter, given the large number of dead ash trees, but we hope to make significant progress weather permitting,ö Gier said. Crews will begin on the paved roads and move systematically through the county. Anyone with questions can contact the Hillsdale County Road Commission at 437-4458.

Al Saad and his twin, Abe, arrived for work Monday morning at Ford Road Motor Sales on Ford Road in Dearborn. The managers quickly realized three of their used cars were missing and had been stolen off the lot.But, after looking at the surveillance video, they realized this time was different. The thieves had a well-thought-out plan that included hiding out in this yellow Penske truck."They actually had a vehicle waiting outside the gate," says Al Saad. "They're all in that Penske truck waiting until everybody was cleared out, there was nobody to be seen. As soon as everybody left they immediately ran in."The suspects cut through the gate and, one by one, stole a 1993 orange Mustang, a 1989 red McLaren Mustang and a 2004 black GMC Yukon."Basically, they knew what they were doing. They knew exactly what time to come and what to do," says Abe Saad.VIDEO: Click on the video player above to hear more from in a report from Fox 2's Taryn AsherAnywhere else they may have gotten away with it but what the thieves didn't know is that, because Ford Road Motor Sales has had a dozen cars stolen in nearly two years, the owner decided to install a GPS tracking device on every car sitting on the lot. A couple hours later the vehicles were recovered."We found out they were in southwest Detroit. We went down to southwest Detroit, found the cars, called Dearborn police. They escorted us. We picked up our own cars and brought them back," explains owner Mike Elaskar.In fact, when Dearborn Police got there, they found a total of five stolen vehicles. Two of the vehicles were from other dealerships, and all were parked in front of abandoned houses on Longworth Street, near Lawndale Street, on Detroit's southwest side."There was enough car parts laying around to know that they've been doing this for a while," says Elaskar. But, because of his high-tech investment, the Yukon and both Mustangs are back on the lot and for sale again.Dearborn Police are still investigating the incident as no arrests have been made yet.

New EGNOS-based approach procedures in Poland.
ESSP and the Polish ANSP PANSA have just signed an EGNOS Working Agreement (EWA) as a key step for the implementation of EGNOS-based operations (mainly LPV approach procedures) in Poland.
The signature has been sealed last February by ESSP President Dirk Werquin and PANSA 's President Krzysztof Banaszek. From now on, Polish airports can start publishing EGNOS-based procedures that will improve safety, accessibility and efficiency to pilots and operators.
EGNOS provides a cost effective alternative to ILS CAT I, offering similar performance without the need for infrastructure installation and maintenance, and it is free!.

FINAL SALE Strapless Satin Short Dress with Floral Detail Style 85004 4 4
Cute & Sexy My only problem with this dress is, I needed a short black satin dress to be a bridesmaid in a small wedding. The bride's only requirements are: slightly above the knee, black, & satin. When I saw it I thought this dress was perfect...and it almost is. Except the tag says its 100% polyester even though the description on the website says "strapless satin short dress". I do like it a lot and I look good in it. I agree with the 1st reviews because I am also size 14. It compliments plus sized ladies very well. I just hope the bride doesn't look at my tag. December 13, 2013
Best Little Black dress I am between size 10-12 but size 12 was too loose on top for me, I should have kept the size 10. Size 10 was very sexy on me but it was too late for me to exchange the size 12 again. I made it work by adding sleeves on it to hold the dress up. Still it is a very nice dress, shows off your curves but at the same hides my bulges. December 12, 2013
I'll Wear This Dress Again I agree with the first comment posted --This dress is flattering on full figured women (I wear a 14). Plus, I look forward to wearing it again! It is sexy! August 14, 2012
Great dress! I felt really sophisticated in it and I usually don't go for dresses with "frill" like this one. It was very flattering and I'm a size 12. Give it a try! June 23, 2012

In the interest of full disclosure; I grew up on the Michael Jordan NBA. The Bulls/Pacers, Bulls/Knicks, Bulls/Jazz rivalries with Bob Costas on the call and John Tesh bringing the heat with the absolute fire jam of the 90's, the NBA on NBC theme. So to say I have an affinity for Michael Jordan would be an understatement. I had the poster on the wall, I had the patent leather Jordan's (Mike just NARROWLY missed his key demographic with a pudgy 12 year old suburban white kid), I had the Air Jordan hats, everything. So with that said, I have an honest to God question, how many points would Jordan average if he played 20 minutes a game in the NBA at 50 years old. 10? 15? Because make no mistake about it, this guy can still play. And I love that you can still see the competitive edge even though he's battling Stephen Glansburg here. Like yeah Mike's laughing, but don't think for a second that he wouldn't demoralize this kid if Charles Barkley was making side bets from the stands. That's what separated Jordan from everyone else. Killer instinct. And how about this kid having a 'I got dunked on my Michael Jordan' story for the rest of his life. You don't know it yet my man but Michael Jordan just set up your dating game for LIFE.
PS: I don't know if it's possible for a theme song to make a sport but when this intro was being used the NBA was better times infinity. Also be care if you open a new browser to watch it, the 'related video' section of old school 90's NBA is a scary rabbit hole, trust me I hoped in last week. And that's what happened to my Monday-Thursday.
