Here is the Justin Raimondo biography of Rothbard, which we had previously thought to be out of print. But the publisher has made it available again through special arrangement, as a way of meeting the demand from Mises.org readers.
This is the first biography of one of the most interesting and controversial social theorists of our time. Rothbard was the founder of the libertarian movement, a radical free marketeer who came of age in the era of collectivism and fought all his life for individualism and laissez-faire against overwhelming odds.
The story of his life is at the same time a cavalcade of virtually all of the controversial events, ideas, and personalities of the latter part of the twentieth century.
The author of twenty-eight books and thousands of articles, Rothbard's life goal was to found a science of liberty, a comprehensive libertarian system of social thought encompassing philosophy, ethics, economics, and history.
This book tells the story of the intellectual adventure that was Rothbard's life, his relationship with the great libertarian economist and philosopher Ludwig von Mises, and his intellectual growth and development as an economist and a thinker.
While Rothbard's contributions to the history of social thought are important, his life story is interesting in itself: against almost impossible odds he managed to singlehandedly create the libertarian movement out of thin air at a time when such ideas were considered completely outside the pale.
An Enemy of the State traces Rothbard's ideological odyssey, from the Old Right of the Chicago Tribune and the "isolationist" America First Committee, to the conservative movement of the fifties and early sixties, to the New Left of the mid-sixties, and then on to the Libertarian Party and the post-Cold War return to his Old Right roots. Rothbard was that interesting combination, an intellectual system-builder and theorist who was also an intellectual street fighter, a scholar, and a man of action.
Anyone interested in the history of ideas, whether or not they agree with Rothbard's ideology, is bound to be captivated by and drawn into the story of his fascinating life.
Justin Raimondo is a senior fellow at the Center for Libertarian Studies, editorial director of Antiwar.com, and a longtime libertarian activist.
Lew Rockwell writes: "There will be other biographies forthcoming, but the success of this one will endure in many, many areas: it is energetic, well-researched, factual (the few mistakes have no bearing on the thesis), and achieves something of a balance between advocacy and pure biography.
"Reading it, you can't help but thrill at how this book will affect a new generation of readers, giving them a fresh perspective on post-war intellectual and political history and also inspiring them to radical thinking in defense of human liberty. Even if you have never heard of Murray Rothbard, you will be drawn to his life, his mind, his spirit. To understand his times and ours, you must have this book."

As companies face the rising costs of health care benefits, employers need to find ways to keep workers healthy and keep benefits payments down. One way to do this is to invest in maintaining a healthy employee population. Healthy workers not only benefit the company by reducing sick days and increasing productivity, but they also enjoy a better quality of life.
Prevention and early detection of illness is the first step for healthy employees. Companies can spend less on health care when they help those who need medical treatment receive it early, before the problem has progressed and treatments become more complicated, more frequent and more

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a slow and progressive circulation disorder. It may involve disease in any of the blood vessels outside of the heart and diseases of the lymph vessels - the arteries, veins, or lymphatic vessels. Organs supplied by these vessels such as the brain, heart, and legs, may not receive adequate blood flow for ordinary function. However, the legs and feet are most commonly affected, thus the name peripheral vascular disease.
At El Camino Hospital, our cardiovascular specialists are pioneering ways of treating PVD with minimally invasive bypass procedures.
Some people call it 'angioplasty on ice.' An El Camino Hospital interventional cardiologist, Dr. James Joye, developed this procedure to treat patients with peripheral vascular disease. This minimally invasive procedure has been highly successful in helping people with severe PVD avoid amputation.
Using a similar technique to balloon angioplasty, a catheter is threaded through the artery and inflated. But in cryoplasty, the balloon is filled with a nitrous oxide (laughing gas) that cools to ten degrees below zero. This freezes the plaque and kills the cells that otherwise cause scar tissue to form and the artery to close down again.
Early research is showing that patients have less risk of re-clogging the arteries with this procedure and may have less need for a stent in the future.
Percutaneous bypass
In this innovative procedure, pioneered by El Camino Hospital cardiologists, physicians use a special device with ultrasound that threads through the vein in the leg to detect the blockage. At the blockage, the physician punctures to the adjacent artery and threads a prosthetic tube to the other end of the blockage where it reconnects with the vein. The blood flow then bypasses the blockage in the vein.
Some studies have shown this procedure can achieve the same outcome as a conventional open bypass with only a skin puncture, no general anesthesia, and shorter recovery time.
Carotid artery stenting
El Camino Hospital is a leader in the western United States in this procedure, which as approved by the FDA in 2004. Physicians use a stent to open blocked arteries in the neck. the new stent is intended to prevent stroke by treating blockages in the carotid artery, the main blood vessel leading to the brain.
The device (the first of its kind) was approved for use in patients who have had symptoms of a stroke or whose carotid artery is at least 80 percent blocked, and who are not good candidates for the surgical alternative. Patients usually require only a local anesthesia.
Bypass surgery
Bypass surgery is a way of creating new channels to carry blood around the blocked areas in your peripheral arteries. With the patient under general anesthesia, doctors take a portion of a small blood vessel from the leg or chest to use as the new "bypass artery." They sew or "graft" one end of the bypass to the affected artery and the other end to the artery beyond the narrowed area. Blood then flows through the new grafted vessel, "bypassing" or avoiding the blockage in the peripheral artery.
Our physicians specialize in procedures that save limbs and help prevent amputation.

The Georgia Bulldogs' valiant second-half comeback fell just short in an SEC men's basketball game against the Arkansas Razorbacks on Thursday night, but, on the plus side, at least we're going to find out who won the Weekly Weblogger Challenge.
The Georgia Bulldogs hoped to win their sixth straight SEC men's basketball game in a nationally-televised home date with the Alabama Crimson Tide on Tuesday night. This they failed to do.
Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs perfected winning ugly in Saturday afternoon's 52-46 men's basketball win over the Texas A&M Aggies in Stegeman Coliseum to extend their SEC winning streak.
You may have missed it in the excitement of National Signing Day, but Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs managed to get out of Knoxville with a 68-62 basketball win over the Tennessee Volunteers on Wednesday night. The Hoop Dogs never trailed.
Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs finally looked like they're starting to put it together as a men's basketball team, claiming their third straight SEC victory by an eleven-point margin over the South Carolina Gamecocks in Columbia.
In an SEC men's basketball game that was not for the weak to witness, Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs arguably played a slightly less ugly brand of hoops, outlasting the Auburn Tigers, 57-49.
Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs went on the road to face the reeling Texas A&M Aggies in an SEC men's basketball game. Though the Hoop Dogs were underdogs, the Fox Hounds came away with an unlikely 59-52 conference victory in College Station.

It would be easy to close the book and say justice has been served in the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case.
Two high school football stars were found guilty Sunday of raping an intoxicated 16-year-old at a party in a case that became a national scandal after videos and photos of the assault wound up on YouTube and Instagram.
The text messages, pictures and jokey tweets that teenagers from the party shared online suggest a communal lack of conscience. That made it easy to blame locals so enamored of their football team that jocks thought they could get away with just about anything.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
But this isn't just about the athletes and small-town ennui.
We've had similar episodes here: Ten years ago, an Orange County girl was raped and sodomized with a bottle, cigarette and pool cue by three 17-year-olds who turned the attack into a homemade porn video. In 2009, a girl was gang-raped for hours outside a homecoming dance in Northern California while young people watching sent text messages inviting their friends to join them.
There's something beyond cellphones and criminal conduct that ties the two cases to what happened in Steubenville.
All three victims were 16-year-old girls who were so intoxicated during the assaults they could not remember what happened.
That doesn't excuse the conduct of the young men; what they did was not only illegal but horrifically immoral.
But it is an ingredient in this toxic stew that we can't afford to keep ignoring.
One in five teenage girls today goes on regular drinking binges. I'm not talking about college students, but 15-, 16- and 17-year-olds, who down four drinks or more in a single session at least once a month.
If you count occasional binge drinking, half of 10th-grade girls engage and more than 60% of seniors, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As the mother of three daughters, I stumble over my feelings when cases like this occur.
I've always tried to remind my girls, now grown, about choices that might make them vulnerable: how they dress, whom they hang out with, how much alcohol they drink.
But conversations like that are hard to have without sounding like you're blaming the victim.
I know whose side I'm on. I'm beyond angry at teenage boys who view girls as objects and violate them callously.
But I'm also worried about teenage girls who wake up in the morning and don't know what happened while they were blacked out from drinking.
I understand the reluctance in this case to talk about the victim. No one wants to heap scorn on a girl who's suffered such indignities.
But ask yourself: What if that was my daughter who woke up in a strange basement, naked and unable to find her cellphone or her panties?
According to testimony at the trial, the Steubenville victim had been so intoxicated the night before, she fought her friends when they tried to get her to leave the party. She was so drunk she could barely speak, stumbled when she tried to walk and sank to her knees in the middle of the street to vomit … en route to a second party.

Spas >Spa At Camelback Inn
5402 E Lincoln Dr, Scottsdale, AZ | Directions 8525333.533623 -111.965265
Neighborhoods: Paradise Valley
Disappointed – Since my move out to AZ in 2000, the Camelback Inn Spa has been my favorite refuge. I have tried different Spa's in the valley, but have always come back. When my friend and I were in need of refuge I highly recommended my favorite spot to relax. We both booked services and planned a relaxing day by the spa. We first went to sit out in the outdoor quiet spot before our treatments began. The seat cushions were absolutely filthy. I assumed that the condition was due to little usage and had been neglected, not an excuse, but it was explainable. After treatment we went to an expensive but underwhelming lunch, then sat by the best spot in town, the pool, with its amazing view. So disappointed to find that the seat cushions here (the main area, which was populated for a Monday) was also in as poor condition as the other location. We didn't even want to lay on them. They were all the same. Not a storm that blew threw but cushions darkened, almost black from body oils. My friend had a very good theraputic massage, my facial was not good. Much better at Madison Avenue, cheaper, more convenient. What was nice was the hot stone massage that came with the facial. Very disappointed, my friend was surprised I had recommended it so highly. We will not be back, and that is really sad. I really loved this place.
The problem with cookie-cutter massage – My mother and a friend went to Camelback recently for massage. They are both in their 70's and didn't receive any kind of intake forms to fill out before the massage. My mother's friend answered some questions verbally during the massage, such as, "Is there a chance you might be pregnant?" My mother received no such questions.
The problem with this (other than the fact that their reproductive capabilities shut down 20 years ago) is that my mother has pronounced varicose veins, which contraindicate massage. Yet the LMT just rolled right over them with hot stones. And my mother's friend has skin cancer, another contraindication for massage. Yet the LMT didn't ask if there was a chance she might have cancer, didn't recognize or question an odd mass on her back, and my mother's friend didn't know she needed to tell her. In the first case, doing deep massage on varicose veins can dislodge a clot and send it northward. In the second, increasing circulation can increase the chance of metastasis.
One would think, with Phoenix's large elderly population, that doing a thorough health intake with each spa client would be expected. But then, so is getting a massage by practitioners with a grasp of basic pathologies that contraindicate massage.
I contacted the spa several weeks ago to discuss this, but they have not responded.
One of my favorite spas – The Camelback Spa is one of the older spas in Scottsdale, but still my favorite. It has been through several rennovations to keep it updated and fresh. The services are pricey, but outstanding with extremely professional staff that treat you like royality while you are there to relax and be pampered for the day. I especially like the way their pool is set up and enjoy having lunch by the pool/relaxing by the pool in-between spa appointments. Just taking in the most beautiful views of the desert/mountains surrounding the pool area is relaxing and breathtaking. They have a tentative staff y the pool providing towels, sunscreen, and taking food and beverages orders. This is a great place to escape for yourself or have a gals spa day.
A large urban oasis uses a lot of help from the natural desert. – In Short
Many treatments here reflect the spa's desert surroundings as they make use of indigenous materials, such as desert herbs and flowers and red clay used in Native American purification treatments. The 27,000-square-foot facility holds 16 massage rooms; several additional rooms for wraps and other specialty treatments; and an assortment of steam rooms, saunas, pools and tubs. Try the spa's signature facial, an elaborate cleansing with grapefruit, mandarin orange, cranberry and pomegranate. There are also fitness classes, body treatments, facials, hair removal, manicure/pedicure and a full-service salon.
Elegant pampering – Expensive but worth it if you really want to pamper yourself. There is a vast array of massages, facials, and treatments to choose from. The surroundings are elegant and you walk out of there feeling like a new person.
Come Back to the Camelback – The menu is fairly extensive for this spa, but the prices are a bit high. Service was outstanding and the enviornment was soothing and peaceful. The spa hours are extensive offering a great deal of flexability to schedule for the working client. Make your reservations EARLY (at least a month in advance) to get everything you want. The Restaurant is very good and offers healthy and fresh food that will be a nice pick-me-up

Editor's Note: This article is part of the Tales of A Linux Switcher series.
As part of my on-going switch to Ubuntu 12.04 from Mac OS X, I ran into an issue where my cdrom device was not being mapped properly in the OS.
Everything works as desired except for one little thing: the eject key on the Apple Aluminum USB keyboard was not triggering the eject sequence of the built-in slot loading SuperDrive.
I assumed that there would be a device mapped to the actual drive using a link to /dev/cdrom. This didn't turn out to be the case. When using the eject command from a terminal I received the following:
$ eject
eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom'
When I did a directory list to find any applicable cdrom device entries in the udev root (/dev) I got the following:
$ udevadm info --root
root@foreandy-iMac:~# ls -l /dev/*cd*
ls: cannot access /dev/*cd*: No such file or directory
In order to determine exactly which device was being used for the optical drive, I looked at the output from system's cdrom device entry:
$ cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.20 2003/12/17
drive name: sr0
drive speed: 24
drive # of slots: 1
Can close tray: 1
Can open tray: 1
Can lock tray: 1
Can change speed: 1
Can select disk: 0
Can read multisession: 1
Can read MCN: 1
Reports media changed: 1
Can play audio: 1
Can write CD-R: 1
Can write CD-RW: 1
Can read DVD: 1
Can write DVD-R: 1
Can write DVD-RAM: 0
Can read MRW: 0
Can write MRW: 0
Can write RAM: 1
The next step was to create the symbolic link in the device root to map cdrom to the appropriate device as listed in the above output:
$ sudo ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom
$ ls -l /dev/*cd*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 30 09:58 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0
Now I can use both command line utilities to work with the optical drive as well as the built-in eject key on my keyboard.

World Championship Predictions
Afternoon all, very curious to hear peoples predictions 123 in the following events at the world championships.
mens/womens 400m hurdles
mens/ womens 1500m
mens/ womens 800
mens/ womens 110/100m hurdles
mens/ womens triplejump
Also during 2012 a few athletes who had shown no real form in the build up to the games went on to take gold or medal
Taoufik MAKHLOUFI
Félix SÁNCHEZ
To a lesser extent Tomasz MAJEWSKI
Can any of you gaze into the crystal ball to pick out any unlikely winners for 2013?

Re: World Championship Predictions
What about the 100m? Anyone else think Gay will dethrown Bolt? and how about Okagbare winning the Women's?
Re: World Championship Predictions
I think Gay can beat Bolt.....Okagbare will not beat SAFP
Re: World Championship Predictions
Re: World Championship Predictions
sorry back to the questions; Here's a few humble opinions
400H Culson and Hejnova should prevail on paper, but we all know how well paper holds up at championships
110H Merritt appears back on form, but after Paris this could be the best event at Moscow./100H Rollins will she have enough gas to continue her incredible season.
TJ also seems to have favorites Pichardo and Ibarguen but they each have a good list of possible beaters including Taylor who should be the men's fav going in but Pichardo is showing better form at the moment.
I do keep the right to change my mind at least twice maybe 3 or 4 .... times in the next 4 weeks.
Re: World Championship Predictions
I am so loving how you folk are dismissing the defending champion Jeter...
Great set up.
Re: World Championship Predictions
Too early to make predictions.
People still chasing A's and B's, injuries popping up or getting better/worse, not certain who's in what events, also Monaco and London (etc) could produce some interesting results.
Ask again in early August!
Re: World Championship Predictions
Didnt I read somewhere that bolt already has his three golds hanging around his neck while SAFP has her gold in the 100 ?
Anyway I totally agree that anything can happen in the month prior to the meet including people bring suspended by their own federation like Ortega !
Re: World Championship Predictions
Add me to those that think Jeter will not be quite ready for prime time (in the sense of first). She might medal, but with Okagbare having the best chance to take down SAFP, Jeter is more likely in the running to get the Bronze. It is not impossible, but it seems like a lot to come back from when she was marginal in beating SAFP last year.
I think Gay has a chance to beat Bolt, but that chance is small, not large (5-20%, not 33-50%). I doubt Bolt will false start again (I thought it not unlikely in 2011) unless he runs into additional physical problems that affect is first 30m, and I think that is unlikely.
Re: World Championship Predictions
It's still quite early for predictions, but Shelly Is my favorite to win the 100m. I'll wait until the end of the month to sort out the other placings/ events.
Re: World Championship Predictions
I saw where jeter will be running her first 100 since shanghai tomorrow in Budapest so we shall see how she is holding up then. I'm not ready to count her out yet nor am I ready to give the gold to SAFP.....
Re: World Championship Predictions
And Felix has been tweeting how she is in heavy training....so I would def beware of her.
Re: World Championship Predictions
i really cant see gay beating bolt, i remember last year thinking Blake was going to beat bolt at the 100m but after the semi final it became very clear bolt was still no 1.
I really think it will be the same this year.
As for Okagbare i think she has the natural talent to win but im not sure mentally she can get it right on the big occasion.
She was awful in the Olympic final and came last.
She clearly had the beating of safp at the last meet at Paris but dipped 15 meters too early i can see something like this happening again.
For me i reckon
bronze wide open Ahoure/baptist/Okagbare
unsure about English Gardner, her race collapsed after 50m in Paris
Re: World Championship Predictions
So much for that. Is the only way Bolt loses now is if he False starts? Even then I bet he wins. But I still think Okagbare could win.

Greater Oklahoma City is in the geographic center of North America equidistant from the east and west coasts and major trade partners of Canada and Mexico. The ten county region is at the crossroads of the U.S., sitting at the heart of three major national highways on the NAFTA corridor.
There's a reason Greater Oklahoma City is such a great place for business: Location. The ten county region is positioned within a day's drive of the rapidly-growing south-central region (OK, TX, AR, LA) projected to grow more than 44% during the next 25 years.
Explore the counties and cities of Greater Oklahoma City including major employers and higher education. The ten county region boasts an average commute time of 20 minutes and a skilled workforce over half a million strong.
Oklahoma has a strong aerospace infrastructure, with 54 state-of-art training centers across the state.
In Oklahoma, one in 10 employees derives income from the aviation industry, with an industrial output of nearly $12.5 Billion a year.
The Oklahoma City area produced $3.9 billion in exports in 2008, ranking it 63rd among the nation's 100 largest metro areas, according to a new report by the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution.
"Export Nation: How U.S. Metros Lead National Export Growth and Boost Competitiveness" is a comprehensive analysis of the export of goods and services produced in the nation's 100 largest metro areas.
Exports accounted for 7.5 percent of Oklahoma City's total economy in 2008 and supported 41,001 jobs, according to the report.
Recent export growth in Oklahoma City has been about average, expanding at 9.9 percent. Average wages were $43,348, about the U.S. average.
"Over the last few decades, wages have been fairly stagnant for most middle-class Americans, but wages in exporting industries can remedy that to a large extent because they are the most innovative sectors of the economy, and they're the industries with the greatest potential for long-term, sustainable growth," said Jonathan Rothwell, a senior research analyst with Brookings and one of the report's co-authors.
The Oklahoma City area's major export industries are machinery manufacturing; transportation equipment; business, professional and technical services; tourism; and royalties from intellectual property. The largest export markets are Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Japan, China and Germany.
The Tulsa area produced $5.5 billion in exports in 2008, ranking it ahead of Oklahoma City at No. 52. Exports accounted for 13.8 percent of Tulsa's total economy in 2008 and supported 53,501 jobs, according to the report.
Export growth in Tulsa between 2003 and 2008 was robust, expanding at 15.7 percent. Average wages in its largest export industry - machinery manufacturing - were $54,195.

"I would like to see it in action," says Jane Krause, CMP, director of meetings and conventions for the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery in Fairfax, Va. Speaking of Philadelphia's new convention center labor agreement, she adds, "Everybody can sit down at a conference table and work these things out, but when it really goes into action, the truth will be in the pudding."
The two-year deal, negotiated by Mayor John F. Street and six labor unions and signed in January, creates a committee to establish work rules and iron out jurisdictional conflicts. Any disputes that erupt during a trade show are to be resolved immediately by a designated site representative. The unions have agreed "not to engage in any strikes, slowdowns or interruptions of work."
The agreement does not reduce the number of union workers needed to set up a convention. However, it allows show managers to move signs without union help.
City officials characterize the agreement as a blueprint for resolving disputes, rather than a binding document that irons out each union's jurisdiction. "This has to be a work in progress," convention bureau president Tom Muldoon told the Philadelphia Inquirer in January, explaining that "After each major convention, we'll take the temperature."
The agreement should resolve nearly all the problems that have given the Philadelphia convention business a black eye, says Bob Butera, president, Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority. Past labor disputes nearly led to fistfights between union workers on the convention floor, prompting cynics to say that the convention center's dispute resolution process should consist of calling 911. Only 25 percent of conventions have been rebooking in the center, compared to other cities that enjoy rebooking rates of 50 percent or higher.
Medical meeting planners such as Krause, who are familiar with the agreement, generally give it high marks. But they warn that it may take some time to see whether Philadelphia's infamous labor disputes, which have disrupted trade shows and prompted some medical organizations to look elsewhere for meeting sites, will become a thing of the past.
With the agreement in hand, Philadelphia officials are making presentations to meeting planners in 15 cities to promote the convention center. "The reception's been great," says Tim Herrmann, vice president of convention sales for the Philadelphia CVB. "Once this agreement has been proved and performed, I think bookings and interest are going to skyrocket."
Jean O'Donnell, director of convention and meeting services for the Philadelphia-based American College of Physicians — American Society of Internal Medicine, expects the deal to bolster the city's appeal to planners. "Many meeting organizations were applauding everything about the city but had some concerns about the labor situation," she says. "Now there are all these steps to resolve differences. It certainly does make us feel confident that when we go in to produce our meetings, it's going to be run smoothly and we don't need to be concerned about labor problems.
See our Web site for more information on medical meetings — www.meetingsnet.com
In the Capsules section, MM January/February 2001, page 88, there was an item on the American Medical Association's proposed relationship with Axciom, a national database manager, and a new database product to be made available to pharmaceutical firms, called HealthCarePro Connect.
Some readers may have received the impression that HeathCareProConnect will be in the AMA list sales business. This is not the case. AMA mailing lists are available only from firms licensed to provide professional data; HealthCarePro Connect is not among them.

When should I come in to the hospital?
You should come to the hospital when directed to do so by your doctor. If you suspect that your water has broken or, if you are having contractions that are 5 minutes apart and last for more than an hour – and don't go away when you rest – it is time to go to the hospital. If you are unsure about coming to the hospital, call your doctor for guidance.
What will happen when I come to the hospital?Compassionate nurses and professionals will determine whether you are in labor. A specially-trained registered nurse will do an assessment and your doctor will be contacted to decide whether you should be admitted to the birth center at Memorial Hospital or sent home.
What if I have a birth plan?
The day you deliver your baby is one you will likely remember for the rest of your life, and we want you to have the birth experience that you desire. Communicate any special requests to your admitting nurse. It is also important to discuss your birth plan with your doctor/midwife prior to coming to the hospital.
What can I eat during labor and during my recovery period?
Most women are allowed to have clear liquids during active labor. Memorial provides cranberry juice, apple juice, tea, water, Popsicles, and lemon-lime soda for our patients. Additional items may be ordered from room service or, patients are welcome to bring items from home. Once the baby has been delivered, mothers may eat a normal diet. Room service is available from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and is included in the room charge.
How will my pain be managed during labor?
There are many ways to manage the discomfort of labor, including breathing techniques, positioning with birthing balls and squat bars, medications and epidural analgesia. Board-certified anesthesiologists are available 24 hours a day to provide epidural analgesia if you desire.
What if I need a cesarean section?
During a cesarean section (c-section), an incision is made in the abdomen and the baby is removed from the uterus. The birth centers at Memorial Hospital have special operating rooms prepared specifically for cesarean deliveries. In most cases, your partner will be allowed to be in the operating room with you. The doctor will allow you to visit with your baby in the operating room after delivery. Cesareans are done for many reasons. For example, if a baby is very large, or is not tolerating the contractions of labor, a decision may be made to deliver via cesarean birth.
How soon may I breastfeed after delivery?
You may breastfeed your baby immediately following delivery, if you wish. Some babies are inclined to feed shortly after delivery and some are not. Nurses are trained to help you with breastfeeding. We also have specially-trained lactation consultants on our staff to assist you with special needs.
When will I be discharged after giving birth?
Most women stay 24 to 48 hours after a vaginal delivery and about three days after a cesarean delivery.
What items should I bring to the hospital?
Be sure to pack ahead of time and tell your support person where your bag is located. Mom should bring:
Please bring the following items to the hospital on the day of discharge for the baby:

Snow Beer Acquires Henan's Second Largest Beer Corporation Aoke Beer, Dominating the Central Plains with Series of Mergers (Translation)
13 January 2011
On January 11th, 2011, China Resources Snow Breweries (China) Limited (CR Snow) officially announced that it has completed the buyout of Henan Aoke Beer Industry Co., Ltd (Aoke).
The acquisition is the second of CR Snow's heavy punches to Henan's market, which comes a month after November 26th, when the foundations are laid to CR Snow's 200,000 kiloliters beer production project in Zhumadian, Henan.
Those in the field believe that as a leader of the Chinese beer industry, CR Snow's acquisition warrants attention in the recently active Henan market, as it is the first time a national beer brand has formally entered the Zhengzhou area in a large scale move, which is the centre of Henan's beer industry. It also signifies the unveiling of CR Snow's dominance in the Central Plains.
CR Snow expressed that it has acquired Aoke's three factories in Zhengzhou, Luohe, and Anyang, as well as the brewing assets. The annual production of the three factories total 290,000 kiloliters.More remarkably, upon the completion of the buyout, CR Snow will invest an additional RMB 400 million for large scale technological upgrades and relocation and expansion. Phase one expansions will bring a capacity of 400,000 kiloliters, significantly higher than the scale of the Aoke factory acquired. Along with the foundations laid in Zhumadian, the acquisition will increase the number of CR Snow's production headquarters in Henan to four, with a capacity of 600,000 kiloliters.
Aoke Beer is a widely recognized brand in Henan, excelling in terms of reputation, quality and sales teams when compared to the numerous beer corporations in Henan. Aoke's core factory in Zhengzhou lies in the city cluster of the Central Plains, which is the economical heart of Henan, which bears significant strategic importance.
Industry figures have shown that since it first entered the Henan market, CR Snow has maintained three years of steady and low profile market operation. With sales in Yudong reaching 200,000 kiloliters, it has continued to assume leadership in the local market, surpassing other top-end national brands in terms of sales in Henan, and accumulating operational experience in the diverse local market.
It is exactly with this accurate insight in the Henan market that CR Snow has swiftly set up a local strategy by way of a series of acquisitions and expansion of factories.
Henan is the most highly populated province in the country. Beer consumption is high, ranking second nationally. For many years, competition among the 40 strong local beer enterprises has been fierce, with chaotic price wars which not only make it difficult for the industry, but fail to satisfy the ever-rising beer consumption demands. The development of the industry has been below the national average.
Upon stepping up its domination in the Central Plains, CR Snow will deploy its efficient brand integration, technological and quality edge, first-class enterprise management and experience in market operations to propel the Yu beer industry out of its current difficulties."CR Snow will proactively take up the pivotal role of reshaping Henan's beer industry through the integration of resources and market expansion, creating an atmosphere of constructive competition and development." general manger Wang Qun of China Resources Snow Breweries (China) Limited stated, "The series of strategic moves in the Henan market are but the first steps of CR Snow's venture into the Central Plains."
