Hi, just joined, and can really use some help: first time mom here.
A little back ground: my daughter was born 7lbs 12oz 20 inches long.
She is 3 months old, and 4 days and on Monday, August 6th, she weighed 11lbs 10oz. Lactation consultant said she is not getting in enough calories and to supplement with formula. I tried several times and only once or twice did she accept the formula..she basically hated it. I doubted myself thinking my supply was low. I was taking progestin only birth control pills and not feeling like my let down was as fast as it normally was. My daughter would suck for a few minutes, sometimes several before getting milk and actually move her jaw up and down. She would sometimes get fussy and mad when milk would not come out. After her weigh in, I was more scared than ever so I started Fenugreek capsules and went off of my birth control pills. Milk supply seems to be doing better. Now, I am dealing with what I am assuming is teething or a growth spurt. My daughter for the past 4 days has not pooped. She seems fussy, irritable, uncomfortable, and just plain ol miserable. At times, she is happy content and her normal self. I have been giving her colic calm for her gas and lack of bowel movements, and I have been giving her hylands teething gel. She is constantly gnawing at her hands and yesterday she was fussy on the breast..I assumed she was in pain. She has never pulled away and screamed so much while trying to feed her. Well today seems to be a little better, she is sleeping more soundly...actually going on an hour nap right now, and has been eating fine. Still gnawing at the hands and drooling like crazy but I gave her some gel and some colic calm. Any advice as to what this may be? I don't know what to make of it...usually when she wants something she gets it and is happy...this time it seems like the last 2-3 days there were times when she fought to eat, fought to sleep, fought to do pretty much anything unless you walked around with her on your shoulder. Last night she had a crying spell non stop for about 15 minutes..again this is not like her. What do you ladies think? Growth spurt? Teething? abdominal pain? blockage? I am driving myself crazy trying to figure this out...and my lactation consultant recommends formula..I want to EBF and that is that. Any suggestions for increasing milk supply, etc would be very appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!

Equinox/p2/Director application
The director application is a headless way of performing some of the p2 operations such as installing or uninstalling installable units. Given the appropriate metadata, this application is capable on provisioning a complete installation from scratch or simply extending your application.
Depending on the needs, this application can be executed inside or outside of the application being provisioned
- Director application
- the application performing p2 operations such as install or uninstall. This application is provided by the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app bundle.
- Provisioning operation
- an operation installing, uninstalling features.
- Target product
- the installation targeted by the provisioning operation.
Running inside the target application
In this mode, the provisioning operation happens from within the targeted produced that you are provisioning. It is equivalent to starting up the targeted product and using the p2 UI to perform the equivalent operation.
This means that the target application has to be in a runnable state and that it has to contain the director application bundle. Also since the target product will have run, cache files will have been created in the configuration folder (e.g. configuration/org.eclipse.osgi).
The following example shows the command line used to install CDT into the SDK.
<targetProductFolder>/eclipse.exe -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application -metadataRepository file:d:/tmp/cdt/site.xml -artifactRepository file:d:/tmp/cdt/site.xml -installIU org.eclipse.cdt.feature.group
Note that this mode is equivalent to the former update manager command line application (http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/update_standalone.html).
Provisioning without running the target application
In this case the provisioning operation is happening "outside" of the targeted product. The "targeted product" is *not* started. This allows to both modify an existing installation and create a complete installation from scratch given proper metadata.
It also has the advantage that since the targeted product does not need to be started, the provisioning operation can be performed on any platform for any other platform (e.g. on my windows machine, I can create add plug-ins to a linux-based target application).
Installing / uninstalling IUs into a target product
To install or uninstall something into an existing target product a few extra arguments than in the "inside" mode need to be set. It mostly consist in letting the provisioning operation the ID of the profile it needs to operate on, and where it is located on disk.
For example, if from a directory called "d:\builder", I want to install CDT into an existing SDK located into "d:\eclipse", I will use the following command line.
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application -metadataRepository file:d:/tmp/cdt/site.xml -artifactRepository file:d:/tmp/cdt/site.xml -installIU org.eclipse.cdt.feature.group -destination d:/eclipse/ -profile SDKProfile -vmArgs -Declipse.p2.data.area=d:/eclipse/p2
Installing a complete system
- -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application
- the application ID.
- -metadataRepository
- the metadata repository where the installable unit to be installed is found.
- -artifactRepository
- the artifact repositiry where the artifacts will be found.
- -installIU
- the identifier of the installable unit to install. If you are looking to install a feature, the identifier of the feature has to be suffixed with ".feature.group".

Todd Akin Doubles Down on Claim That Women Who Aren't Pregnant Get Abortions
Todd Akin's campaign has responded to my story from earlier this week that revealed, among other things, that Akin believes that abortion providers trick women who aren't pregnant into getting abortions for profit. Unlike with his "legitimate rape" comments, however, this time Akin is doubling down, claiming that this is a common practice.
In defense of his assertion, Akin's campaign released a statement Tuesday from Abby Johnson, a former director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas who quit in 2009 and now speaks against abortion.
"I can attest that when I served as director of Planned Parenthood in Bryan, Texas, we often scared women into getting services they did not need including abortion so we could collect the fees. This included women who were not pregnant and women who were in the process of miscarrying," Johnson said in the written statement.
Abby Johnson is an interesting character in the anti-choice movement. A former clinic director for Planned Parenthood, Johnson has crossed over to the anti-choice side and makes a living telling Christian conservatives that the non-profit bamboozles women into getting abortions to increase profit margins. Nate Blakeslee of Texas Monthly looked into Johnson's conversion story in 2010 and not only caught Johnson in direct lies, but also found substantial evidence to demonstrate that she was about to be fired for incompetence just before switching sides. Among the lies was Johnson's claim that a for-profit group performs abortions for Planned Parenthood. In fact, all services at Planned Parenthood are non-profit, but admitting this would destroy anti-choice claims that abortion is an "industry."
Part of the problem here is that, within the conservative evangelical circles that are the backbone of the anti-choice movement, "truth" is not the truth, but simply "stories that dramatically illustrate the rightness of our belief system." So while, for instance, Blakeslee can point out that there were no abortions performed on the day that Johnson claims she saw a fetus trying to escape the abortion tools on an ultrasound—a scene she loves to describe for her rapt audiences—the literal truth of her story matters less than that it reaffirm her club's belief that fetuses are cognizant beings, gifted with more awareness than their bimbo mothers (or in Akin's words: "climate control") of what abortion actually means.
Religion writer Fred Clark explained the phenomenon in a classic 2008 blog post, in which he describes a similar situation regarding the '80s-era stalwart Christian right belief that the company Proctor & Gamble was run by Satanists. He explained that people who pass these stories along know, on some level, that they aren't literally true.
This is why the rumor doesn't really need to be plausible or believable. It isn't intended to deceive others. It's intended to invite others to participate with you in deception.
Are you afraid you might be a coward? Join us in pretending to believe this lie and you can pretend to feel brave. Are you afraid that your life is meaningless? Join us in pretending to believe this lie and you can pretend your life has purpose. Are you afraid you're mired in mediocrity? Join us in pretending to believe this lie and you can pretend to feel exceptional. Are you worried that you won't be able to forget that you're just pretending and that all those good feelings will thus seem hollow and empty? Join us and we will pretend it's true for you if you will pretend it's true for us. We need each other.
Believing in this fantasy of an "abortion industry," in which shadowy monsters delight in killing babies and duping women into having procedures they don't need, provides emotional rewards that far outstrip the boring old truth. The problem is that these kinds of urban legends become the fuel that drives ideologues into the secular world of politics.

Assassin's Creed III 1-Year Later Review
Until the release of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin's Creed III represents the latest PC title from the franchise. The setting for this game spans the years around the American Revolution, allowing you to meet the founding fathers of the nation, or at least a fictionalized form of them. Being an Assassin, seeking only to stop the Templars, you are not necessarily aligned with the Colonists or the British, although generally the Colonists' interests align most with yours.
As with the previous games in the franchise, this is a third-person action adventure game, with an emphasis on stealth and movement. Though your character, Ratonhnhaké:ton or Conner, is an able fighter and can survive direct encounters with enemies, if you can find a way to avoid such conflicts, it would likely be best. The game has a Mature rating from the ESRB for intense violence, blood, strong language, and sexual themes. It deserves this rating, so if you should not be exposed to that content, you should probably not be reading this review, which includes uncensored screenshots.
Should you join the fight once more against the Templars and help create a nation, or leave such endeavors to more interested people? Read on to see.

Project Description
The South Carolina Research Institute and its partners evaluated the feasibility of carbon storage in the Jurassic/Triassic saline formations of the buried Mesozoic South Georgia Rift (SGR) Basin that extends west-southwest from South Carolina into Georgia. The Jurassic and Triassic saline formations of the SGR have been identified as prospective CO2 storage areas; however, detailed characterization is needed to reduce uncertainties and validate storage potential. The project evaluated two different locations in the SGR Basin, one in South Carolina and one in Georgia. The project team reviewed existing geologic and geophysical data, reprocessed historical seismic data, collected additional seismic data to fill in historical data gaps, drilled and tested a characterization well, and conducted reservoir modeling, risk assessment, and mitigation studies. Seismic and geologic data were also used to evaluate faults, fractures, and confining zone integrity for potential release pathways. The characterization well was drilled to approximately 6,200 feet. The findings include a detailed description of the potential reservoirs and seals to determine thickness, lithology, mineralogy, and fracture orientation.
Project Benefits
The overall effort provides greater insight into the potential for geologic formations across the United States to safely and permanently store CO2. The information gained from this endeavor contributes to DOE efforts to refine a national assessment of CO2 storage capacity in deep geologic formations. Specifically, this project contributes to the understanding of injectivity, containment mechanisms, rate of dissolution and mineralization, and storage capacity of the on-shore portion of the SGR Basin.

Katie Irwin was just another name on a list - a rather long list - of people willing to have their heads shaved to help kids fight cancer.
I didn't know Irwin before March 15th and still don't, really. But I feel close to her - a member of the hairless brother/sisterhood, if you will.
Irwin is the Campbellsville University junior who baby-sits Max and Heather Wise's children - Grayson, Jackson and Carter. The latter is the 10-month-old in the midst of a battery of cancer treatments for something called Stage IV neuroblastoma.
I'll admit, it was a little odd to be talking Shakespeare with a class of third-graders. Especially since they knew more than I did.
I was a guest Monday of Becky Grant's third-grade class at Taylor County Elementary School. I was there to talk with the students about their performance the day before of Shakespeare's infamous tragedy, "Romeo and Juliet." And what a performance it was.
For years community newspapers have been riding the coattails of metropolitan dailies. The ride hasn't been all that great.
Nationally, newspaper readership has taken its share of hits and criticisms. But what we knew in the community journalism business was never allowed to make forecasting reports because the data from our sector was jaded by the dailies, where a different story was emerging.
From speeding tickets, misdemeanors and indictments to marriages, divorces and land transfers, the News-Journal publishes a myriad of public records.
Do you read them? How interested are you in reading about them? Which of them are you more interested in?
We honestly want to know what you think.
That's why the Central Kentucky News-Journal is conducting a reader survey about public records. We would appreciate your opinion on the content of the News-Journal's On the Record page - what you read, what you don't read and what you think about it.
March 20 is the first day of spring, and it's also National Agriculture Day.
And that means it's an appropriate time to salute our local farmers.
I could write volumes about tobacco quotas and foreign imports and the need to buy American, and how our farmers are struggling to keep the rest of us fat and prosperous.
But I'm not going to do that.
I've decided it's time another icon of American self-reliance and rural independence received some appreciation. And I don't think farmers will mind at all.
It's something near and dear to each and every one of them.
For the last three months, I've tried to balance feelings of relief and frustration over the Hollywood writers' strike.
The presidential race is certainly becoming an interesting one. Like most of America, I've watched several debates between the candidates, checked out their Web sites and read all the news stories I could find, just trying to get a handle on which of the candidates would be best for the job.
Little did I know the answer was so easy.
At www.votechooser.com, it was all there for me, presented in easy-to-read terms. All I had to do was answer 10 questions and I would learn which candidate I should vote for in 2008.
So I tried it. And boy was I surprised.
As I drove down Bardstown Road, a large yard sign caught my eye the other day - "Yes We Can" it touted in big red and blue letters. Beside it another sign - Barack Obama '08.
It's nice to see folks finding a presidential candidate that they want to support and feeling good enough about it to shout it from their front yard (via signage) to the world.
The bad thing is that by the time this poor person gets to vote in Kentucky's late May Primary, the decision for the Democratic and Republican party's contenders for the White House will likely already be decided.
Do you enjoy a good book? Would you love to have a chance to talk to others who're reading the same book? Well, you may soon get that chance.
The Central Kentucky News-Journal is interested in sponsoring a community book group. With help from the Taylor County Public Library and the Taylor County Extension Office, the group would meet once every few months.
There would be no membership or mandatory attendance or even dues. Just a group of people getting together to talk about a great book.
The other night when I mysteriously picked up a pair of socks and tossed them in the dirty clothes hamper, my wife simultaneously tossed me a sardine from a can she had opened earlier in the day.
I thought to myself ... is she trying to reinforce good habits? I also thought she should have had crackers and mustard ready as well.
Just kidding. That didn't actually happen. Everyone knows that I have no bad habits to correct.

So, it's the end of the semester and I should really be reading or writing something. I'm resisting that at the moment, and have been for most of the week. This is not a good plan. Papers do not write themselves; exams will not be graded by the cat; Derrida is not comprehensible without a little effort on my part; a complete Faust essay will not spring Venus-like from my head unaided. Sigh.
Thing is, I'm having a bit of a crisis of academic voice. I'm not writing the way I'd like to — it's gotten convoluted and tentative and way too fuzzy somewhere along the way — and I can't quite seem to spit my thoughts out. I am frustrated.
All that to say, I thought I'd update my knitting progress before getting the (academic) day underway. It might be time to get out of my pajamas and get to the crappy Starbucks with the Christmas music (though, as is the way of the close-to-campus coffee shop, I tend to run into people I'd otherwise avoid there).
1. Lizard Ridge.
I finally admitted (to myself) that this blanket was never getting any bigger and finished it off. Two colors of Kuryeon, lots of picked up stitches and garter stitch later, viola! clean edges! At first, I was highly sceptical of the pepto-pink bind off, but now … I love it. To me, it adds the perfect folkart touch.
2. Miss Violet Beauregarde
This got a lot of attention while I was in California: turns out, endless episodes of Say Yes to the Dress really facilitate a lot of knitting. I've almost finished (or, really, am about halfway through) the first set of repeats on the last chart … yeah, it's going to be a while.
3. Albers shawl
I'm still not convinced that this is a good idea, but I've decided that I need some simple knitting to accompany all that exam reading that I'll have to start over break. Garter stitch seemed like a good idea. The mohair is debatable.
Again, it seemed like a good idea at the time. The cardigan is super cute and looks totally wearable … but when, oh when, will I find time to actually finish it? The Nashville winter is cold but short — and mine is already pretty well booked with academic obligations.
The real problem, however, is not the knitting. It's this:
Yeah, that bump isn't supposed to be there. It's almost certainly from all of the knitting. Argh. I am not amused, yet not really willing to give up the knitting either. I am currently seeking a compromise and hoping it will go away.
Now, to work!

If there is truth to the following rumor from ESPN, I suggest TT make a move for Anquan Boldin before it's too late. I know WR is a present position of strength for the Pack, but adding someone as talented at Boldin for a 2nd round pick and a throw-in type player would very much be worth it. And, our WR group would then be brutally difficult to line-up against.
|ESPN News passes on a report from Sal Paolantonio that the Cardinals have lowered their asking price for Anquan Boldin.
|According to Sal Pal, the Cardinals are now seeking just a second-rounder and an additional player. One team is reportedly "all over" Boldin now. The Eagles and Giants may have entered the race along with the Ravens, Jets, and Titans now that a first-rounder isn't required.


text: We are so ready to get out and about again in the fifthwheel. DH found this quilt show in Indiana and asked if I wanted to go. Wondering if this is a big or small show. Looked at their site but vendors are not listed and I like that part of shows. If you've been there, was it a good show? It's March 22, 23 and 24th. Thanks.

Patriot Pyro SE 120GB & 240GB Review
Not long ago, OverclockersClub looked at both Patriot's offerings in the Sandforce 2281 equipped market, the Patriot Wildfire 120GB and Patriot Pyro 120GB. The Wildfire used Toshiba Toggle mode NAND, while the Pyro used 25nm MLC NAND flash as the type of memory. The performance targets for both drives were obvious, with the Pyro falling slightly lower in the spectrum than the Wildfire in both pricing and performance. While the max reads and writes are similar, the real world performance between the two drives was evident in the testing. The Pyro SE or "Special Edition" fills the performance gap between the two drives. Read/Write speeds come in at 550MB/s/520MB/s respectively, with 85,000 IOPs 4k aligned random writes. which seems to be pretty much the standard for a SF-2281 based drive.
Patriot's Pyro SE line up consists of three drives that include a 60GB, 120GB, and a 240GB drive. What differentiates the Pyro SE from the Pyro is the use of synchronous MLC NAND in place of asynchronous MLC NAND. To make sure the level of performance is what consumers expect, the Sandforce feature set includes DuraClass, DuraWrite, Raise technologies along with TRIM support, and an Intelligent Garbage collection algorithm. Pricing for the 120GB Pyro SE is currently $165, with the 240GB version claiming a $370 price point on e-tailers driving the value proposition for these drives from Patriot. Lets see if the performance is as hot as the pricing.
Closer Look:
The packaging for the Pyro SE mirrors that of the Pyro drive. The orange and black theme continues with the naming of the drive the only real change. The drives can be seen through a clear window in the front of the packaging. Along the bottom left is a list of details on the drive that includes the use of MLC (Multi Level Cell) NAND flash memory, SATA III connectivity, and a 2.5 inch form factor. The back side of the package lists the features of the drive in several different languages. Along the bottom of the package is the mention of the 3 year warranty period and Rohs compliance. Pulling the 120 and 240GB drives out of the package shows each is stored in a plastic clamshell that protects it during transit. Included is a quick start guide and a sticker to show what brand you are loyal too.
Pulled out of the shipping environment the two drives are almost identical. The only way to tell them apart externally is by the capacity on the decals. The front of the drives have the Pyro SE graphic, while the back of the drive has a sticker with the model number, serial number, capacity, and firmware revision. This happens to be 3.2.0 on the 120GB and 3.3.2 on the 240GB Pyro SE. The Pyro SE drives use SATA III or 6Gb/s connectivity, but are backwards compatible to both 3Gb/s and 1.5Gb/s. Power is supplied over a standard SATA power connection. Mounting is accomplished by way of the form factor standard mounting points located on the sides and bottom of the aluminum drive housing. A warranty label is applied over the split in the housing to verify the drives integrity during the warranty process. No need to open it up, as I will open each drive to show what is inside the housing.
The top of the drives are held on by four hex head screws. Pull them out and the Pyro SE drives open up to show off the PCB that holds the Sandforce 2281 controller and synchronous MLC NAND modules. From this perspective the drives look identical based on the amount of NAND flash modules on board.
Inside the drive casing is where the real differences can be pointed out, although it does not look like it from this view as each drive has 16 25nm MLC synchronous modules on the PCB. A total of eight on each side, with the Sandforce SF-2281 controller between the NAND and data connection.
The Pyro SE 120GB and 240GB both use the eight channel SF-2281-VB1 SDC controller. Where they differ is in the capacity of the 25nm NAND modules not the quantity. On the 120GB version there are sixteen 29F64G08CBAAB 25nm Micron synchronous NAND modules 8GB in size for a total of 128GB, the 240GB Pyro SE has sixteen modules as well but are Micron 29F128G08CFAAB 25nm synchronous NAND modules 16GB in size. Do the math and you can see that the over provisioning for the 120GB Pyro SE is 8GB and 16GB on the 240GB version. This allows for the back end garbage collection algorithms and wear leveling.
On paper the Pyro SE drives look to have great performance potential, lets see how they do.

When they get a break - like the gift goal goalie Marc-Andre Fleury handed them early in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins - they fail to keep a deflated opponent down.
And when they face adversity - like when Simon Gagne's second-period goal, which would have given the Flyers a 2-1 lead, was disallowed - they fold.
About a minute after the goal was nullified because Ville Leino made what the referees called "incidental contact" with Fleury, Pittsburgh took a 2-1 lead of its own.
Funny team, these Flyers. They were woefully inconsistent under John Stevens. Up and down. Up and down. The same thing has happened under Peter Laviolette.
This just in: It's the players, not the coaches.
This team lacks leadership and character.
Not to mention goal scorers.
Trailing 2-1 in Saturday's second period, the Flyers' Claude Giroux broke in alone, but lost control of the puck and got off a weak shot.
Giroux is going to be a terrific player down the road. Right now, though, he and most of his teammates are in hard-to-fathom scoring funks.
Consider the following slumping players:
- Darroll Powe: 0 goals in his last 27 games.
- James van Riemsdyk: 0 goals in his last 14 games.
- Arron Asham: 1 goal (scored Saturday) in his last 14 games.
- Dan Carcillo: 2 goals in his last 14 games.
- Danny Briere: 1 goal in his last 11 games.
- Giroux: 2 goals in his last 21 games.
- Mike Richards: 2 goals in his last 12 games.
- Scott Hartnell: 3 goals in his last 29 games.
The Flyers, who suffered another goalie injury (see accompanying story), fell to eighth place in the Eastern Conference on Saturday, and they are in danger of falling out of the playoffs. Atlanta, which is in ninth, can climb to within two points of the Flyers with a win Saturday night.
Flyers fans deserve better. They have filled the Wachovia Center to 99.8 percent capacity this season. They are being cheated of their hard-earned money by a team that takes periods off and, too frequently, plays without a sense of urgency.

Just when you thought your house was child-proof, a new product comes along that may pose a danger to curious little hands. Single-use laundry detergent packets were launched in February as an alternative to the messy, bulky bottles. But poison control centers report that there have been nearly 250 cases of children confusing the brightly colored packets for candy and swallowing them, according to ABC News.
PLUS: Parenting's Printable Health and Safety Guides
The reaction that comes about after ingesting the packets is more severe than typical detergent poisoning—symptoms include nausea and breathing problems. Dr. Michael Buehler of the Carolinas Poison Center guessed that this was due to the concentrated nature of the packets, which carry a full cup's worth of detergent in bite-size form. Alternatively, the detergent in the packet might activate more quickly or differently.
"The children get sicker, more severe, and they do this quicker than what we've seen with standard liquid laundry exposure," Buehler said.
PLUS: How to Baby-Proof Your Home
Tide has promised to have new child-proof containers out this summer. They have also been working with poison control centers and advocacy groups to make sure parents know more about the risks of their detergent packets.
Have you made the switch from powder or liquid laundry detergent to the new packet form? Do you store them the same way as other hazardous cleaning products?

(RNN) - Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney tightened the race for the White House with a resounding win over President Barack Obama in their first debate, setting the stage for an increasingly important, winner-take-all showdown between the vice presidential nominees.
Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan will take the stage at Centre College in Danville, KY, at 9 p.m. ET Thursday for their only debate. Obama saw his projected lead in Electoral College votes diminish and his small lead in the nationwide pre-debate polls evaporate, leaving a dead heat in some polls and a small Romney lead in others.
Biden and Ryan will discuss their campaigns' policies on foreign and domestic policy issues. Like the presidential debate, the event is expected to last 90 minutes.
ABC News chief foreign correspondent Martha Raddatz will moderate the debate. Unlike last week's domestic policy event moderated by Jim Lehrer, Raddatz intends on dividing the debate into nine segments instead of six.
Each segment will last approximately 10 minutes and open with a policy question. The candidates will have two minutes to respond and can use the rest of each segment to discuss the topic.
Raddatz is no stranger to the politics surrounding the White House. She previously served as ABC's chief White House correspondent during the second term of the George W. Bush administration.
She joined ABC News in 1999 as the State Department correspondent but also covered the Pentagon for NPR from 1993 to 1998. With her extensive knowledge of foreign policy, the debate has the potential to focus on international issues.
National security and the war in Afghanistan are the two most likely topics, but viewers should expect the candidates to follow up on domestic policy points made in the presidential debate.
Ryan, who has extensive experience in finance and budgeting, will likely tout the Romney campaign's stance on healthcare, corporate tax reform and capping federal spending.
Biden may bring up the administration's success in passing healthcare reform, Wall Street reform, private sector job growth and withdrawing troops from the Middle East.
Danville and Centre College was a surprise selection as the debate site, but Centre also served as the site of the 2000 vice presidential debate featuring former V.P. Dick Cheney and Sen. Joe Lieberman. Wednesday's debate has electrified Centre's campus of 1,350 undergraduates and the 16,000 residents of Danville, where the event is being called "The Trill in the 'Ville," with tongue firmly in cheek.
A far cry from Denver, the site of last week's debate, Danville and Centre were chosen in part because of the previous success as a host location, according to election officials.
"First, Centre did an outstanding job of hosting the 2000 vice presidential debate," said Debate Commission executive director Janet Brown in a news release. "Second, Centre's principal players from that debate are still at the college, and we value that experience. Finally, Centre's facilities, as good as they were in 2000, are vastly improved now."
Though Centre specifically planned the school's fall break to coincide with the debate, the school does not expect student participation to suffer. Aside from having an opportunity to volunteer during the event, students are encouraged to attend Centre's debate festival, which includes live entertainment, various political programs and a live outdoor broadcast of the debate.
The third presidential debate will take place at 9 p.m. Oct. 16 and will follow a town meeting format that includes foreign and domestic policy questions. Candidates will field questions from the audience at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY.
CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley is scheduled to become the first woman to moderate a presidential debate.

Man arrested trying to fence jewelry stolen in Wilmot; $100k in stolen items recovered
Richard R. Fortier Jr., left, and Stephanie C. Vary.
CONCORD -- Police have arrested a 24-year-old Keene man on charges that he tried to sell high-end jewelry stolen from a Wilmot home to a jewelry store in Concord.
A Webster woman was arrested as an accomplice in the case. State Police say the attempt to sell stolen goods began to unravel when Richard R. Fortier Jr., 24, of Keene approached a jeweler about buying the goods. The jeweler made an appointment for the next day and called police, who were on hand to greet the suspects on their arrival.
Concord and state police arrested Fortier at the jewelry store and charged him with five counts of receiving stolen property.
His companion, Stephanie C. Vary, 25, of Webster, was also arrested at the store and charged with with liability for the criminal conduct of another.
Police later raided the hotel room Fortier and Vary had rented in the area, and said they found more jewelry with an estimated value of between $75,000 and $100,000, along with drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Fortier was ordered held on $100,000 bail, while bail for Vary was seta t $25,000.
They are being held at the Merrimack County jail and face arraignment Tuesday in Concord District Court.

STOCKTON - County officials forced contract terms on correctional officers from the San Joaquin County Jail on Tuesday, following more than a year of negotiations that failed to reach a new employment agreement.
STOCKTON - County officials forced contract terms on correctional officers from the San Joaquin County Jail on Tuesday, following more than a year of negotiations that failed to reach a new employment agreement.
The terms include officers picking up a larger share of the cost of providing heath care and retirement benefits. These concessions are what county officials called some of the "key pillars" for keeping the county in good fiscal shape. The terms and the imposition of them is fair, officials said, since almost every other county employee had accepted them during negotiations in the lean years following the Great Recession.
But the correctional officers said the unilateral imposition of a 2 percent pay cut and other contract changes are harsher than those agreed to by other groups and are anything but fair for a group of workers who had already suffered layoffs as well as making sacrifices in a 2010 contract extension.
At its Tuesday meeting, the county Board of Supervisors voted 4-0, with Carlos Villapudua absent, in favor of the imposition of the terms, approving a recommendation from staff.
"Ninety percent of the employees within San Joaquin County have agreed to these key pillars and accepted concessions, and the San Joaquin County Correctional Officers Association should not be an exception," Human Resources Director Cynthia Clays said.
Negotiators from both sides began talking before the old contract expired at the end of June. They met 16 times, reaching a tentative agreement in September that the association's membership as a whole did not accept, according to the county. The county issued a final offer and declared impasse in October. Mediation followed, ending earlier this month.
Correctional Officers Association President George Lauchland questioned that the county conducted negotiations in good faith. "Anything that was brought to the table was brought by us." And the imposed terms were "punitive in nature," he said.
Other bargaining groups received raises to offset losses or were called on to pay a smaller percentage of medical costs than the correctional officers, said Dee Contreras, an attorney representing the officers.
Approximately 30 of the more than 200 correctional officers and sergeants who make up the bargaining group were at the Tuesday meeting.
Some had been rehired after being laid off during the worst of the budget cuts. They told the supervisors that the violence and brazenness of criminals on the streets in San Joaquin County is reflected in the population at the county jail.
It's a danger comparable to that faced by deputies on the streets, but the compensation for the correctional officers is not comparable, said Ruben Rodriguez. He said he was offended and insulted that the county would depict the correctional officers as greedy and selfish. "I take pride in the daily impact I make on the safety of my county, I just wish my county took pride in me."
The county still needs to be prudent to avoid future layoffs, Supervisor Bob Elliott said.
"I don't think it's an issue about being punitive or disrespectful," he said. "It is a fairness issue. We should expect all our bargaining units to participate in the concession process because we have to balance our budget. It's a question of fiscal responsibility."
Supervisor Steve Bestolarides said he was considering the "bigger picture." The future is still uncertain, and the county has already drawn from one-time sources of funding in the past four years that are almost depleted, he said.
"We've taken money away from projects that represent the future of everything that we do here in the county," he said. "I still see the continued call for sacrifice."
The imposed concessions are expected to bring the county an annual savings of $2.5 million, starting with $633,000 for the remainder of this fiscal year, according to the county. With the terms in place, the bargaining unit could request to begin new negotiations.

Berretto time trial track
Postby GaryF » Sun Nov 11, 2007 8:51 am
I bought the last item yesterday. A set of old Shimano 600 cranks from Bicycle Recycle. I built it up yesterday. By the way, Bicycle Recycle had about 70 track bikes a few weeks ago - there are only a few left. Just goes to show how big the track / single speed scene in growing.
The frame was built by Brett Richardson (Berretto) of Brisbane and I would estimate its build date to be mid to late 80's Shimano aerodynamic AX technology introduced in 1980). The tubing is all ovalised - check out the Shimano AX aero seatpost (same shape as the seat tube). The front forks are quite fine. No bar tape yet but that will happen.
Bar tape fitted. It's great to ride - the geometry is a little twitchy and the tyre clearance is minimal - but it's fun on the roads. Photo update:

I've been interested in the Berretto history since I got the frame. There's not much information to be had though. I did find an advert in a 1989 magazine though.
I've had a few short rides on it today and I'm impressed with it's manners. It rides quite predictably even though the position is well forward over the front wheel. The bike is a good advertisment for Brett Richardson's frame building skills. The seat tube is 61cm so it should be a little tall for me but it feels good. The cow horns look way too low but when compared to a standard track bike of similar size the bars are between the drops and the tops of the standard track bike.
The clearances are close so it doesn't really suit road riding (stones sticking to the tyres) but, what the heck, its fun. Gearing is 51 x 15 which suits the flat terrain around my home.

Interesting questions. If I told you how many bikes I had you probably wouldn't believe me. I have been interested in bikes, quite seriously, for about 25 years.
I do know others that have many more bikes than me (in my own defence).
I used to haunt De Grandi's bike shop in Geelong. It was probably the best bike shop in Victoria - they have disposed of all their old stuff now though. Anyway, there was an old guy that used to come in and buy up big on Campagnolo stuff and the occasional steel frame. Shane De Grandi and I used to plot a raid on the old fellows shed - we figured that he would have had an Aladin's cave of top notch bike stuff.
Now the tables have turned - Mount Gower. I find you plotting a similar crime.
My place is under constant video sirveillance and a very hungry and angry pit bull terrier sleeps with the bikes.

Fleming bought up a whole lot of track bikes from a club inventory apparently... the last time I was in at Bicycle Recycle he was still sorting through them and none were for sale yet. And now they're all gone? I wonder what old gems might have been there? Did you see any of them Gary?

Yes they're singles - most of my bikes are shod with singles. Sometimes I get on a roll and repair a few singles - but it's a horrible job.
This bike has pretty close tyre clearances and is not really suited to the road but it is fun to ride.
I didn't see the track stuff except for a couple of bikes he had left out of the job lot. One was an old Italian bike although it didn't have decals.

During the late 80's I lived near Brett's shop at Chermside and over the next few years he built several frames for me and one for my Dad. The first was a Reynolds Frame (I'm not sure which flavour) but it was unique. It had a curved top tube that really lowered the bars and also each lug was ribbed to increase stiffness. I used it for a couple of years with a Shimano 600 group-set doing triathlons and loved it, but it was not comfortable for long rides. Later I had Brett make me a standard 56cm road frame for more comfort and moved the groupo over (see attached photo). Brett delivered it not long before he stopped making frames. At this late stage he had stopped using the Berretto branding because he said Italian sounding names where no longer in fashion and instead starting using Richardson Racing. I still have the bike and it is my weekend ride around Brisbane. I have not ridden a huge number of bikes but it remains to me the sweetest bike I have ever owned.
In the next few weeks I will be acquiring my dad's old bike, also made by Brett, I don't remember much about it except that it is also probably a 56cm frame.
Brett did like to keep the clearances on his frames tight. When I come up to needing new tyres I doubt I will be able to get 23mm one's on
I wish I had kept the time trial frame as it was a unique. If I can find a photo I will post it if anyone is interested. Actually I'm not sure how to actually insert an image into my post. Do I need it be hosted somewhere?

Speaking of bike shops in Geelong, what about old Marshall down in North Geelong? My Dad introduced me to him at a very early age, I dunno how long he was in business for but I'm pretty sure my Dad knew him from when he was young. His son took over the business and they moved to a bigger shop on Thompsons Road last time I checked. A wealth of knowledge that bloke. Helped me out many a time. Great little family store.
My dad grew up in Bell Park and I grew up in Bell Post Hill. I'm also a MichaelB coincidently. Lived in Perth for almost 10 yeas now but I'll be back home in a few weeks for a wedding. I do miss little old Geelong.
Sorry for the thread hijack btw, the bike looks amazing. I'm very envious.

as for them Beretto's... no one got any spare one's in 54/56cm lying around? ... or that you'd be willing to leave unlocked and unsupervised for a few hours?

Thanks for your insight into the Berretto name. I initially thought the bike could be Italian but found an advertisment in an old 1980 magazine for Berretto.
I have been interested to see how Brett overcome the shape of the seatpost as the Shimano seatpost is totally aero-shaped. the seat tube has to be aero-shaped as well which makes it difficult to clamp the post in the tube and stop it slipping down under the riders weight. This was overcome with 2 self tappers on either side of the upper part of the seat tube. It is also clamped with a seat bolt. Was your frame areo-shaped as well?
It will be nice to see your dad's bike when you post a photo.
Hi Cray,
I do remember the bikeshop in Thompson's Rd. I had left Geelong when the shop had opened and I only went in the shop a couple of times. I'm not sure if it is still there. I do remember the owner being very helpful.
Geelong is a great place with a rich history in bicycles and riding.
Hi Stryker84,
I suppose everything turns up on ebay - good luck with your Berretto search.

Try googling that and they may give you his number.
I don't think any one reprints his decals.

I can easily, with both, insert polytonic accents (acute, grave, circumflex) as well as breathing marks (rough and smooth), but I am unable to insert a combination of accent mark and breathing in XP; easy to do with Traulsoft. I especially have a prob with circumflex + breathing as in "he was" or hen. I bet there is a way that I just have yet to learn as XP is almost ubiquitous.
Thank you much,

"Today, Clang completed its first complete self-host! We built all of LLVM and Clang with Clang (over 550k lines of C++ code). The resulting binaries passed all of Clang and LLVM's regression test suites, and the Clang-built Clang could then build all of LLVM and Clang again. The third-stage Clang was also fully-functional, completing the bootstrap."
