GAO, Mali Soldiers combing abandoned jihadist hideouts and sand-dusted streets for weapons have found industrial-strength explosives, raising the specter Wednesday of bomb attacks by the jihadists who fled into the desert after the arrival of French forces.
As the French began talking about a timeline for a troop drawdown, there also were growing concerns that the Islamic militants may be creeping back toward their stronghold amid reports of clashes near Gao.
France's defense minister said French troops had clashed the day before with Islamic extremists firing rocket launchers outside Gao. One of the rockets landed near a tree in a residential neighborhood.
Reports of the clashes and weapons stashes rattled residents still fearful less than two weeks after the departure of the radicals belonging to the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa, or MUJAO.
In the sandy field where a rocket landed late Tuesday, people recalled how they hid in their homes.
"If a MUJAO fighter can set himself up just 10 meters (yards) from here and fire things like this at us, what's the good of the army being here?" asked Adama Younoussa, who gathered with a group of his friends in the sandy field where only a hole now remains.
"If they had hit a house, there would have been bodies here," he said.
In a trash-strewn lawn amid empty tin cans of meat and used plastic bottles, Malian soldiers warned people to stay away after heavy-duty explosives were found amid the debris.
The stash of NITRAM 5 explosives was hidden inside rice bags that were left in a communal trash area. The explosives are manufactured for use in mining, but can cause considerable damage when used as bombs.
Groups of Malian soldiers on foot were called out to several sites Wednesday, including one building where they found grenades alongside a large suitcase and reading material in Arabic script about Shariah law. At another site, they called in a bomb team after finding what appeared to be a booby-trapped vehicle.
France's defense minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, said troops have found "preparations for a true terrorist sanctuary," including war materiel, weapons manuals and makeshift laboratories for constructing improvised explosive devices.
"It's a real war ... when we go outside of the center of cities that have been taken, we meet residual jihadists," Le Drian said Wednesday on Europe-1 radio.
French aircraft are continuing airstrikes every night on suspected militant arms depots and mine-making sites, he said.
Meanwhile, French President Francois Hollande said France may start pulling out of this vast nation in northwest Africa at the end of March.
Government spokeswoman Najat Vallaud-Belkacem said in Paris Wednesday that the withdrawal will depend on an increase in the deployment of African forces, which are meant to take over the international effort to secure Mali and help its weak army keep the peace.
The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to hold private consultations on Mali on Wednesday. The Security Council is likely to wait until the end of February to adopt a new resolution authorizing a U.N. peacekeeping force for Mali, a well-informed U.N. diplomat said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
France is expected to keep a rapid reaction force in Mali to back up the U.N. force, two U.N. diplomats said.
Gao has been held by French-led forces since late January, and there have been concerns of a counterinsurgency by remnants of the Islamic radicals belonging to MUJAO.
France launched a swift military intervention Jan. 11 against Islamist extremists who had taken over northern Mali, where they imposed a harsh version of Shariah law.
France's defense minister said hundreds of Islamic fighters have been killed, speaking Tuesday night on France BFM TV.
In Timbuktu on Wednesday, civilians handed over dozens of arms and munitions that had been abandoned by Malian troops who fled advancing rebels.
The proliferation of arms in the city of Timbuktu remains a real danger to civilians, officials and residents said.
"For every five houses that we search, we find arms in at least one," said Capt. Samba Coulibaly, spokesman for the Malian army in Timbuktu.
While the French-led forces quickly seized Timbuktu and Gao, the effort has been slower in the third provincial capital of Kidal.
A secular rebel movement fighting for a separate nation for Mali's minority Tuareg nomads claims it is holding several smaller northern towns, including Kidal, even though French and Chadian troops entered the city Tuesday.
Moussa Ag Assarid of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad, or NMLA, said their fighters also are holding the northeastern towns of Tessalit, Menaka, Aguelhok and Tinzawatten. Azawad is what the Tuaregs call their homeland.
Mali army national spokesman Diarran Kone refused to comment on the NMLA claims, saying only that "the re-conquest is continuing." It was not immediately possible to verify the NMLA claims. Phone networks remained down in the area.
Trouble began last year in Mali, once a stable democracy in West Africa, with the latest in a series of Tuareg rebellions in the north. The Malian army staged a coup in the faraway capital, Bamako, and in the chaos that followed, the Tuaregs and Islamic extremists made rapid advances, seizing the main cities in northern Mali. Poorly armed and demoralized Malian soldiers fled before their advance.
But the secular fighters fell out with the Islamist extremists. As the extremists have fled the French bombing campaign, it appears the NMLA fighters have moved back into some areas.
They have said they are willing to work with the French forces but not Malian troops, whom they accuse of committing reprisals against the lighter-skinned Tuaregs and Arabs.

May 21, 2011 is a Saturday –any idea what will you be doing? Prepping for Memorial Day weekend? Attending a baseball game? Holding a backyard barbeque?
Harold Camping, a Christian radio evangelist, believes that on May 21 of this year, the world will begin to end.
Camping and his "loosely organized" followers believe that their reading of the Bible indicates that the Rapture will take place on that date, just under five months from now. From the AP's report:
Rapture teaches that believers will be taken up to heaven, while everyone else will remain on earth for a period of torment, concluding with the end of time. Camping believes that will happen in October.
Although many Christian denominations have teachings about the end times, few say that they know God's divine timing. In fact, skeptics of date-naming often cite Matthew's gospel, in which Jesus says, "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes."
Want to check Mr. Camping's calculations? From a January 2010 SFGate.com profile of the evangelist, here's how he crunched the numbers:
The number 5, . . . equals "atonement." Ten is "completeness." Seventeen means "heaven." Camping patiently explained how he reached his conclusion for May 21, 2011. "Christ hung on the cross April 1, 33 A.D.," he began. "Now go to April 1 of 2011 A.D., and that's 1,978 years." Camping then multiplied 1,978 by 365.2422 days – the number of days in each solar year, not to be confused with a calendar year. Next, Camping noted that April 1 to May 21 encompasses 51 days. Add 51 to the sum of previous multiplication total, and it equals 722,500. Camping realized that (5 x 10 x 17) x (5 x 10 x 17) = 722,500. Or put into words: (Atonement x Completeness x Heaven), squared. "Five times 10 times 17 is telling you a story," Camping said. "It's the story from the time Christ made payment for your sins until you're completely saved. "I tell ya, I just about fell off my chair when I realized that," Camping said.

A trio of Bullpups wrestlers will take their place among the best in the state starting Friday afternoon in Salina, as the Class 4A state tournament will get underway at the Salina Bicentennial Center.
A trio of Bullpups wrestlers will take their place among the best in the state starting Friday afternoon in Salina, as the Class 4A state tournament will get underway at the Salina Bicentennial Center.
Seniors Kaden Kretzer and Ethan Fowler will be joined by junior TJ Stites in representing McPherson High School in the tournament.
"We placed in the bottom of the bracket on all three of these guys," MHS coach Doug Kretzer said. "So, they're wrestling someone that took first or second in their regional. All three of their opponents are tough."
Kaden Kretzer (24-5) will open the tournament at 120 pounds against Bonner Spring High School's DJ Ballard, a sophomore with a record of 20-11. Fowler (13-13), meanwhile, has drawn Fort Scott's Victor Hughes at 138 pounds. Hughes, a senior, has been dominate this season, amassing a record of 40-6.
Stites (22-19) will face Spring Hill junior Blake Lewis (36-12) at 145.
"The only one we haven't seen is (Ballard)," Doug Kretzer said. "In the 4A level, there are no gimmes. It's a 16 man bracket and you have to place in the top four just to go. All three of these guys that we're going to be wrestling are tough, just like we are."
In preparing for this weekend's tournament, Kretzer told his wrestlers to throw records out the window.
"You've got to show up that day," he said. "If you do show up that day, and you wrestle hard, you never know what can happen."
Kretzer feels his trio has a good chance to make it out of the first round, which has been pushed back to noon Friday due to the winter storm plaguing Kansas.
"I think that, if they can get going, if they come out of the gates, they can put themselves in a position to, hopefully, have a good tournament," Kretzer said. "The best thing they've got going for them is that they are all wrestling their best right now."
You can get updates from the state tournament by following the MHS wrestling Twitter account, @OAMWrestling.
The second round Championship quarterfinals will be held following the completion of the first round, while the first round of the consolation bracket will begin afterwards.
Saturday's session will begin at 9 a.m. with the consolation cross bracketing.

Passers-by rush into burning Manchester homeBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 04. 2013 11:13AM
MANCHESTER - Several people, including a mailman, ran into a burning building on Merrimack Street on Saturday looking for residents feared trapped in a fire, authorities said.
"We started opening doors as fast as we could," said neighbor Danielle Palmer, who lives across from the fire scene at 316 Merrimack St. "My only thought was just get whoever is in there out. It was spreading real fast out the front window."
Two people were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation, including postal worker Tom Sapienza, according to District Fire Chief Michael Gamache. One of them, Bill Kelly, the lone resident inside at the time of the fire, later was taken to the hospital for evaluation, he said.
Sapienza, after being treated, returned to his postal truck, saying he wasn't allowed to talk to reporters but wasn't planning on going right home.
"I have to get back on my route," Sapienza said.
Tom Rizzo, spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service's northern New England district, said letter carriers around the country help people in a variety of ways each year.
Rizzo said Sapienza, a postal worker since 2007, "will most definitely not be getting in trouble" for any mail getting delivered later than normal Saturday.
Firefighters responding to a half-dozen 911 calls found smoke and fire showing at the 2.5-story, single-family home, Gamache said. He said several people burst into the house looking for people believed trapped inside.
"It's comforting that people will go to that extent for one another," he said. But because of the obvious dangers, Gamache said, "we don't recommend people entering burning buildings."
When Ryan Masterson turned the corner from Maple Street on to Merrimack Street, he saw smoke and went inside the building to help.
"I saw the flames starting to grow bigger," he said.
Masterson said he spotted a man with white hair exiting the front door.
"He had no idea his house was on fire," Masterson said.
A man whose mother and uncle live in the building said he got a call saying the house was on fire.
"This house has been in the family for a long time," said the man, who didn't want to be identified. He said no one being seriously hurt was "the main thing."
The fire's cause was undetermined, Gamache said, but was not believed to be suspicious.
He said the house, owned by Sheila Nichols, sustained $75,000 in damage and will require extensive repair. The occupants, Kelly and his sister, were staying with family.

Mike Adams – Natural News November 29, 2010
"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious — makes you so sick at heart — that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" – Mario Savio, December 2, 1964
Although Mario Savio's speech was about political activism and the Berkeley Free Speech Movement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_…), it could have very well been about Senate Bill 510, the so-called Food Safety Modernization Act.
This bill, which is now coming to a vote the evening of Monday, November 29, 2010, is the most "odious" food tyranny bill to have ever been crafted in the history of our nation. S 510 is to food freedom what the Patriot Act is to the Bill of Rights.
If passed, it will criminalize entire ranks of organic gardeners and small farmers while giving rise to a new wave of tyrants — the food safety Gestapo who will rule over the production of food and the saving of seeds in the same way the TSA now rules over your security at the airport.
Watch my 5 minute video on this important topic right now at http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=4DE6C…
The intentions behind S 510 are well-meaning, of course: Lawmakers want to do something about e.coli and salmonella contamination of fresh produce. No US Senator wants to face their constituents without being able to claim they "voted for safer food."
They all have good intentions. But of course that's exactly what the road to hell is paved with. The Patriot Act was passed with good intentions, too, in a desperate hour when fearful Americans were grasping at solutions — anything that could calm their fears even if it meant giving up their freedoms in the process. And now we are paying the price for that: Obscene TSA pat-downs at the airport, naked body scanners taking photos of your children's bodies, anti-terrorism laws being used to prosecute animal rights activists, and other such transgressions that were unimaginable in 2001 when it was first passed.
What will the next decade bring us if S.510 becomes law?
If passed into law, S.510 will become the Patriot Act of the food industry, turning raw milk producers into felons and small organic farmers into "seed smugglers." It will all but ensure the demise of small, local farmers and thereby hand a government-protected monopoly to the large industrial farmers who use GMOs, chemical pesticides and cruel, inhumane practices throughout their factory animal farms.
It will destroy small dairy farmers and devastate family food producers. And while it's doing all this, it will also give the FDA — the most dangerous federal agency in the history of our nation — the power to regulate what you grow, what you harvest, what seeds you save and what paperwork you must file in order to comply with Big Brother's food schemes. It will give the FDA the right to conduct surprise inspections of your greenhouse, to seize your plants and to arrest you as a common criminal merely for milking a cow and offering that fresh milk for sale to a neighbor.
This is food tyranny, and this is what we must stop. S. 510 is the machine upon which we must now throw ourselves — upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and we've got to make it stop.
You can help. Here's how:
Join our barrage of phone calls to your U.S. Senator's office
As soon as you read this, if it's before 5pm Monday, I urge you to pick up the phone and CALL your U.S. Senator's offices and voice your opposition to Senate Bill 510.
Don't know your Senator's phone number? Call the Capitol Switchboard and ask to be directly connected to your Senator's office: 202-224-3121.
You can find other contact information for your US Senator at http://senate.gov/general/contact_i…
Also, please share this article on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks so that people may join us in this grassroots effort to defeat the next great tyranny in America BEFORE it can be unleashed. This is our final hour on S 510, and every call counts!
Please also watch my call-to-action video at http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=4DE6C…
… and then share this grassroots video with others. Let them know what's at stake and urge them to take action Monday, November 29th, before 5pm Eastern.
Here are two other sources where you can sign an online petition and get more information about the S.510 tyranny:
Citizens for Health
Natural Solutions Foundation
Thank you for supporting this important cause, and stay tuned to NaturalNews.com for more follow-up reporting on this bill.

Greetings from beautiful Guru Ram Das Puri, where I am blessed to live year round and the energy is building for your arrival. The winds of change are sweeping through our lives and the planet, and our solstice experience is going to be amazing in ways we cannot even imagine.
Here is my projection for what I hope to celebrate with you:
-A break from our regular schedules and electronic pressures
-We will be halfway through 2012, yay!
-Simplicity – daily practice, tent homes, sattvic food, collective prayer and focus on peace
-3 days of White Tantric Yoga to carry us through our healing together
-Wonderful ways to process trauma to transformation
I love to teach at Summer Solstice as a way to meet you. Through my healthcare practice, I am blessed to support many as we move through this rebirthing of humanity and the planet, and at Summer Solstice I can share the fruits of my year through my class. As in my practice, the class always manifests to serve everyone who comes. It will be experiential and practical, and will provide many tools to guide us through the releasing of resistance and old trauma patterning into receptivity and transformation, using the teachings of Yogi Bhajan as a foundation as well as tools from others that are successful for my clients and myself and will work for you too!
For those of you who do not look forward to sore, achy bodies as we deal with heat and cold and wind and noise and tents, lots of yoga and 3 days of White Tantric Yoga, I am delighted to offer a solstice-sized pack of a product created by Yogi Bhajan that really, really helps so you can have peace of body as well as peace of mind this year. Please feel free to email me about this, schedule a healing session, or share your journey as our individual streams flow towards New Mexico to merge in the ocean of Summer Solstice 2012.
Welcome Home!

In today's tumultuous media environment, there comes a time when free-agent scribes such as myself are wise to diversify. That time is now.
WHYY, the public media service in Philadelphia (more traditionally known as Public Broadcasting), has lured me - so, beginning Monday, this blog will move there, under a new name. You can even check it out today - at whyy.org/nationalinterest - and list it in Favorites. There's scant furniture in the room yet, but I left a note pinned to the door.
Philly.com has been a great host these past four and a half years. Cranking out a political blog, which requires provocative text five days a week, is a taxing exercise that can't be done without significant in-house support, so I especially want to thank Wendy, Jonathan, Bob, and Tony for watching my back. And while I'm certainly inviting my clamorous community of readers to link the new site every weekday, I'm obviously hoping that you'll also continue to avail yourselves of the extensive philly.com menu.
And even though I'm moving and reinventing the blog, my Sunday Inquirer print column will continue to be posted online at philly.com, and I'll surface in live chats sponsored by the Inquirer editorial board. In fact, a chat is scheduled for Monday. Such are the perks of diversification, and the expanding options for staying in touch. Let's do that.

FDA approves Merial's NexGard, a chewable flea-tick preventive for dogs
Merial announced this week that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved NexGard (afoxolaner) Chewables, a prescription product designed to treat and prevent flea infestations and treat and control the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis) in dogs and puppies for one month.
Merial CEO Carsten Hellmann says NexGard will provide veterinarians with a new option for external parasite control. "We have leveraged expertise as well as our strength in chewable technologies to develop NexGard," Hellmann says.
According to the company, NexGard has demonstrated excellent efficacy at a low dose and is the first and only soft beef-flavored chew approved to kill both fleas and ticks. It contains the active ingredient afoxolaner, an isoxazoline-based compound with a new and distinct mode of action.
NexGard will be a prescription-only product, Merial says. It will be available in four sizes for oral administration to dogs and puppies according to weight. Merial is planning to make NexGard available to veterinarians in time for the upcoming flea and tick season.
D. variabilis, the tick species controlled by NexGard, can transmit the organisms responsible for Rocky Mountain spotted fever (Rickettsia rickettsii), tularemia (Francella tularensis) and cytauxzoonosis (Cytauxzoon felis), according to parasitologist Michael Dryden, DVM, PhD. Dermacentor species can also cause tick paralysis.
NexGard is for use in dogs only, the company says. The most frequently reported adverse reactions include vomiting, dry or flaky skin, diarrhea, lethargy and anorexia. Its safety in pregnant, breeding or lactating dogs has not been evaluated, and veterinarians are advised to use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures.

A 40-year-old man is facing hefty charges after he crashed his Nissan Titan off Interstate 5 near Old Town on June 2, rolling down an embankment near Rosecrans Street and critically injuring his 4-year-old son before fleeing the scene.
The boy died of his injuries on June 11 at Rady Childrens Hospital, according to published reports.
The driver, identified as Angelo Fabiani Arroyo, was arrested in Imperial Beach two days after the accident and is being charged with suspicion of hit and run causing injury and an additional count of child endangerment. He was arraigned in court this week. It was not immediately clear what additional charges he may now be facing.
According to California Highway Patrol officials, Arroyo was towing a small watercraft trailer on the southbound 5 when he apparently struck the guardrail and a tree. The vehicle was sent careening off the freeway and down an embankment, where it came to rest against a retaining wall.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing the driver try to free the boy, who was belted in a child-safety seat. But officials said that after releasing the child from the seat, the boy toppled out and fell 10 feet to the pavement below on Jefferson Street. At that point, Arroyo allegedly fled the scene.
Although Arroyo was in possession of a valid driver's license at the time, records reportedly show Arroyo had been subject to three driver's license suspensions since 2010.
Officer-involved shooting in Ocean Beach probed
The police department's Homicide Unit is continuing to investigate an officer-involved, fatal shooting of an allegedly gun-wielding man in Ocean Beach on June 1.
Officers were dispatched shortly after 9 a.m. to the 1700 block of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard when a caller reported to 9-1-1 a man with a gun threatening to shoot another man.
Witnesses reportedly saw the suspect get into a silver Volkswagen sedan and drive north on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. When officers spotted the vehicle and engaged in a traffic stop in the 100 block of Sea World Drive, officers reportedly ordered the man to put his hands up.
The suspect ignored the officers' commands and instead walked over to the passenger side of the vehicle, reached between the seats and retrieved what officers described as a brown and silver object, said investigators. The suspect allegedly raised the object and pointed it toward the officers, prompting one of the officers closest to the suspect to fire his duty weapon, striking the suspect.
The suspect was transported to a local hospital, where he later died. A handgun was located in the suspect's vehicle.
The officer involved in the shooting is reportedly an 11-year veteran of the department.
Airport wins prestigious financial reporting award
The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority has been honored with the certificate of achievement for excellence by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada.
The honor was bestowed for the Airport Authority's comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) covering fiscal year 2012.
This award marks the tenth consecutive year the Airport Authority has received the prestigious honor.
According to the GFOA, the certificate of achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government body and its management.
The Airport Authority's CAFR was judged by an impartial panel to ensure it met the high standards of the competition, including demonstrating a constructive "spirit of full disclosure" to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the CAFR.
Pointer backers grants $30,000 in help to schools
The Pointer Association, the parental governing body of Point Loma High School, announced another round of financial grants to Pointer staff members recently.
Association president Kevin O'Beirne listed 22 separate school departments and programs that recently received $30,000 from the group, bringing the total for the 2012-13 school year to more than $200,000.
Items funded by the grant include musical instruments, a camera, payment to bring poets into classrooms, textbooks, art supplies, drama materials and student planners.
The nonprofit Pointer Association exists to support all Point Loma High students, faculty and staff in providing an excellent educational experience for every student.
In dispersing funds based on written requests, the organization seeks a balance between "The Three A's: Academics, the Arts and Athletics."

'Blessing of Surfboards' event returns to OB
Surfers are being encouraged to stop by St. Peter's by the Sea Lutheran Church on Saturday, July 20 for the church's annual "Blessing of the Surfboards and Those Who Ride Them" event.
The church started the unusual custom last year, inspired by the long tradition some churches have of blessing fishing fleets.
"We believe God's just as relevant to our lives today as He was 2,000 years ago," said one church member. "And surf culture runs deep in Ocean Beach. It was a natural fit."
The blessing is free and open to everyone.
This year the church will be blessing surfboards from 10 a.m. to noon in the parking lot of St. Peter's by the Sea at the corner of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and Point Loma Avenue.
For more information, call (619) 224-1689, or visit www.stpetersbythesea.org.

Hey ladies! I had wanted my next post to be my birth story, but my "easy" baby is changing on me! We dealt with some pretty severe silent reflux with my first and I was so happy that this time seemed different. Now I am not sure...here are the symptoms, so ladies, help me with a plan of action, or tweak what I am currently trying.
painful crying - usually evenings (which I just associated with his fussy time) but now it's during the day and mornings too
stiffening legs
spitting(massively) up if fed more than one side at a feed
arching back(not all the time)
painful hiccups
wet burps
sounding like he aspirated something
a couple of other things I think may be unrelated, but here goes:
painful passing gas
painful straining bowel movements
NO constipatin though.
My plan as of now is to recline nurse, allow let-downs to spray into a towel, burp frequently, cut back caffeine and chocolate. I am already only feeding one side per feeding - he started that all on his own. We don't go back to the Dr. until the 17th of this month. So I don't know what kind of weight gain we have, but he is growing out of his newborn stuff slowly. I do feed on demand.
I am not thinking diet just yet, but if it is reflux, chocolate and caffeine aggravate it.

A La Plata man was killed early Saturday when the motorcycle he was riding collided with a truck on Route 100 near the Baltimore Washington Parkway.
Anne Arundel County police said that James Garrett Henderson, 27, was traveling at a high speed when his 2005 Harley Davidson motorcycle abruptly switched lanes on westbound Route 100 and stuck the back of an Isuzu box truck.
Henderson was taken to University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, but he later died of his injuries. The driver of the truck, William Ramirez, 55, of Germantown and his passenger were unhurt. Police did not know if drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash.

Over the weekend, The Washington Post profiled a post-election Mitt Romney. The picture, according to friends and associates, is of a man who—for the first time in his life—is aimless:
Gone are the minute-by-minute schedules and the swarm of Secret Service agents. There's no aide to make his peanut-butter-and-honey sandwiches. Romney hangs around the house, sometimes alone, pecking away at his iPad and e-mailing his CEO buddies who have been swooping in and out of La Jolla to visit. […]
Four weeks after losing a presidential election he was convinced he would win, Romney's rapid retreat into seclusion has been marked by repressed emotions, second-guessing and, perhaps for the first time in the overachiever's adult life, sustained boredom, according to interviews with more than a dozen of Romney's closest friends and advisers.
One is inclined to feel sorry for the guy, until you remember that he ran a campaign that combined a narrow economic message—America should be grateful to the job creators—with tangible disdain for large swaths of people, from undocumented immigrants and single women, to African Americans, gays, and lesbians.
If Romney had run a more inclusive campaign—one that didn't dismiss half the country as "takers"—then maybe he'd be measuring the drapes in the Oval Office and not figuring out what to do with his downtime in La Jolla.

Johannesburg, South Africa, and Washington, D.C. -- Results announced yesterday from two clinical studies testing pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) showed striking evidence that antiretrovirals -- the drugs used to treat HIV -- can also help prevent HIV when used by heterosexual men and women. In contrast to the effectiveness of PrEP demonstrated last year in men who have sex with men -- these studies provide the first proof that tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and Truvada (TDF combined with emtricitabine) used daily can help to reduce HIV infection in heterosexual men and women.
The first of these studies, Partners PrEP sponsored by the University of Washington and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with drugs supplied by Gilead Sciences, enrolled 4,758 serodiscordant couples -- where one partner had HIV and the other did not. The independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), in consideration of the findings from sites in Kenya and Uganda noted 62 percent fewer infections in those taking TDF and 73 percent reduction in participants randomised to Truvada, called for a discontinuation of the placebo arm. The protection levels of both drugs were considered to be comparable between men and women in the study and comparable between the two drugs. Good safety and tolerability were reported for both drugs, an important consideration when healthy uninfected individuals would be required to adhere to a daily medication. Importantly, as noted by the researchers, adherence reported in the study based on dispensed drug dosages was extremely high -- more than 97 percent.
In a different study, TDF2, sponsored by the US Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC) in Botswana enrolled 1,200 sexually active men and women to test the safety and effectiveness of Truvada as prevention. In October 2009, researchers had concluded that they may, in fact, not be able to show the effectiveness of Truvada as HIV prevention given that they were unable to retain the number of participants needed to show an effect. However, having made a concerted effort to bring back many of the participants who had been lost from the study, researchers were able to report efficacy findings in the final analysis. Similar to Partners PrEP, the study found a 62 percent risk reduction of HIV infection in the men and women who took Truvada compared to those in the placebo arm. This study also had high adherence at 84 percent as determined by the pill count.
"What is thrilling," said Samukeliso Dube, head of Africa programs for the Global Campaign for Microbicides, "is that we are adding to the options available for women. For the first time, we have proof that both a pill and a microbicide work. Let's offer both to women. And let's do it now. We have lost too many women to the epidemic in Africa. We can't wait any longer."
In addition to the challenges of service delivery, the findings from these studies raise critical questions about continuing the use of placebos in ongoing studies testing the same drugs in women. The VOICE trial (Vaginal and Oral Interventions to Control the Epidemic) sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), is evaluating the safety and efficacy of TDF and Truvada as oral PrEP in women and uniquely, the study also includes evaluation of the daily use of tenofovir gel as a vaginal microbicide. Following the CAPRISA 004 findings last year that tenofovir gel used before and after sex could help reduce susceptibility to HIV, VOICE is testing the impact of the daily use of tenofovir as a microbicide. The study investigators announced that VOICE's independent DSMB is reviewing the data from these two studies in order to decide how to proceed with the trial.
"VOICE is exceptionally important. It is the only study that compares oral PrEP against vaginal microbicides. "VOICE could teach us not only what worked, but whether women expressed a preference for the oral pill or the vaginal gel," said Halima. The evidence is building that oral PrEP can help protect women from HIV -- begging the question, should we continue to include a placebo control in HIV biomedical prevention trials?"
The Global Campaign for Microbicides remains committed to making available a variety of tools that women in Africa can use to protect themselves from HIV, including microbicides, slow-release vaginal rings, in addition to other prevention options. Ease of access and use, including what fits into a woman's lifestyle, will ultimately determine her preferred choice of prevention.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is the use of medicine in advance of exposure to something potentially harmful, such as a disease or condition. In the context of HIV, it is the use of anti-retroviral medicine by HIV-negative people before sexual activity or other high-risk behaviours.
Microbicides are being developed as products that could be topically applied by a receptive sex partner either in the vagina or the rectum to reduce risk of becoming HIV infected during sex. Microbicide candidates are being formulated as vaginal gels, suppositories or slow-releasing vaginal rings.

Gallery: 4 Cheaper David/Goliath Pairs If The Rock/Taylor Lautner Casting Doesn't Work Out
Relativity Media is courting Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Taylor Lautner to star in the big-screen retelling of the most badass Biblical tale, the fight between puny (but divinely blessed) shepherd David and the monstrous Goliath. The problem is, both actors' acting prices are pretty steep, at $10 million or more. We've done some legwork and come up with four other little-guy-giant-villain combos that Relativity can look to if The Rock and Taylor end up costing too much.

When Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said after the February meeting of the top industrialized countries, known as the G-7, that a European initiative to clamp down on money laundering "is not about dictating to any country what should be the appropriate level of tax rates," it was clear that the game was over. For about eighteen months the United States had signaled that it was serious about joining the Europeans in modest efforts to deal with the tide of illicit money that washes around the world. Now, the Bush Administration was saying that it was backing off the US commitment to reform the offshore banking system. Instead, the "tough on crime" Republicans would stand shoulder to shoulder with the shady characters in Nauru, Aruba, Liechtenstein and elsewhere who offer state-of-the-art financial services for crooks.
The immediate issue was an initiative by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development to stop tax evaders from hiding money in offshore havens. The OECD last July named thirty-five jurisdictions that offered foreigners secrecy, low or no taxes and protection from inquiries by home-country legal and tax authorities. It said it would take "defensive measures" against countries that didn't change those policies, and it began negotiating with such worried targets as the Cayman Islands.
In April, O'Neill rebuffed pressure from France, Japan and Italy to reiterate US support for the initiative. Then in May, without prior consultations or negotiations with allies (à la Kyoto), he announced in a newspaper Op-Ed that the OECD demands were "too broad" and withdrew US support. French Minister of Finance Laurent Fabius publicly expressed his concern, saying that "until now, the United States and France were at the forefront of this fight." Le Monde editorialized, "After dirty air, dirty money."
The Bush Administration's actions represent a continuation of policies–interrupted only by the brief Clinton moves–that go back to the Reagan era, and that in the past have been defended as based on US opposition to impeding the free flow of capital or decreasing other countries' reliance on the dollar. "Treasury was looking to free up economies, not regulate them," says Jonathan Winer, a former high-level crime-policy official in the Clinton State Department.
Others take a darker view of US motives. Jack Blum, a Washington lawyer who co-wrote a 1998 report for the United Nations on the offshore phenomenon, says US policy has been influenced by the fact that "the hot money from the rest of world [fueled] one of the greatest booms in the stock market" and the fact that big brokerage firms "find it profitable to run private banking operations for rich people all over the world who don't want to pay taxes." He estimates that at least $70 billion in US taxes is evaded annually through offshore accounts. That is just above the $65 billion in the projected federal budget for education, training, employment and social services. Elsewhere, Oxfam International calculates that money sucked out of developing countries to tax havens is $50 billion a year, nearly the size of the $57 billion annual global aid budget.
Says Joseph Stiglitz, former chief economist of the World Bank, "You ask why, if you believe there's an important role for a regulated banking system, do you allow a nonregulated banking system to continue? The answer is, it's in the interests of some of the moneyed interests to allow this to occur. It's not an accident; it could have been shut down at any time."

The Eagles signed DeSean Jackson to a five-year, $51 million contract, the team announced today in a stunning move that locks up the talented but mercurial wide receiver and answers one of the team's biggest offseason questions.
"We are thrilled to be able to keep one of the NFL's top playmakers in Philadelphia," Andy Reid said in a news release. "DeSean is a game breaker, he has the speed and ability to score from anywhere on the field, and he has proven himself to be a big threat for our offense."
There's no doubt about that. The question was whether the Eagles would pay Jackson long-term after a down season that included a training camp hold out, a missed meeting and Jackson's being benched for poor play against the Patriots. The Eagles answered on Wednesday, taking another step to lock up home grown talent after previously extending the contracts of Todd Herremans and Trent Cole.
"Signing our own players was a big priority for us this offseason and DeSean was certainly high on our list," Reid said. "We are very excited about his future as an Eagle."
Jackson's deal is in between those recently signed by Vincent Jackson -- five years, $55.6 million -- and Pierre Garcon, five years, $42.5 million. The Eagles are giving Jackson roughly $15 million guaranteed, according to ProFootballTalk, less than the $20.5 million Washington promised to Garcon.
Jackson is scheduled to meet with reporters at noon Thursday.

Date: May 21, 2008
Staten Island, NY – There is no valid reason to oppose anti-coerced
abortion legislation pending in the Ohio House say leaders of the Silent No
More Awareness Campaign, the world's largest network of women and men harmed
by abortion. The measure, expected to be voted upon by the House Health
Committee today, would require an abortion clinic to post a sign stating
that it is against the law for anyone to force a woman to have an abortion.
"Going through a voluntary abortion is horrific enough. We should do
everything we can to insure that a woman is not being coerced into this life
changing surgery by a boyfriend or abusive husband," said Georgette Forney,
Co-Founder of the SNMAC. "Whether someone calls himself pro-choice or
pro-life, there's simply no option but to support H.B. 280."
"The title of the bill says it all," added Janet Morana, another SNMAC
Co-Founder. "Protecting pregnant women from coercion and violence should
receive unanimous support from the Ohio legislature. There's no excuse for
domestic violence and there's no excuse for opposing this woman-friendly
Since the launching of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign in 2003,
2,326 women and men have shared their testimonies publicly at over 200
gatherings in 44 states and six countries where more than 15,000 spectators
have heard the truth about abortion's negative aftereffects. More than 4,100
people are registered to be Silent No More. Raising awareness about the
hurtful aftermath of abortion and the help that is available to cope with
the pain are two of the Campaign's goals.
The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a joint project of Anglicans
for Life and Priests for Life. For more information, please visit our

13 Photographers Who Captured the Epic Beauty of America's National Parks
Artsy Editorial
Available in the following sizes, unframed:
30.6" x 23"
46.5" x 35"
57" x 43"
Photographer Mark Klett is best known for cool, impersonal images of desert landscapes in the American Southwest, taken from a similar vantage points and under similar lighting conditions as 19th-century photographs by the likes of seminal surveyors William Henry Jackson and Timothy O'Sullivan. These photos consider changes in landscape, history, culture, aesthetics, technology, representation, and perception. Klett has collaborated with several artists, including Byron Wolfe with whom he has produced photographic projects on The Grand Canyon, Yosemite, and other historic landscapes. His body of work also includes an exploration of decay, loss, abandonment, and death through images of fading Navajo wall drawings, aging men and women, trashed motorhomes, and the like. He has also worked abroad, namely in Portugal, where he photographed vineyards and vistas in the Douro River region, and in Japan, where he photographed earthquake wreckage in Kobe.

Fine Arts Admission Requirements
View the admissions application for the academic year. The application deadline is March 1. Applications received after March 1 will be reviewed on a space-available basis. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the program is full. For maximum scholarship consideration, apply by December 1. For transfer and transition students, the priority deadline is March 1.
Due to the sequential nature of the curriculum, students are only accepted for the fall semester. Portfolios are not a component of the DAAP/UC application process.
Academic Credentials
The academic credentials of applicants seeking admission to the School of Art vary each year. The freshman class profile for Fine Arts is based on the middle 50% of the 2017 entering freshman class:
- Average Class Rank: Top 30%
We share these numbers to give you an idea of the "typical" credentials of students accepted into our programs. Scoring within this range (or outside of it) is not a guarantee of admission or denial.
Transfer students typically have GPAs that are well above the required minimum of 2.5.
The Pre-Art program provides an alternative means for entry into the Bachelor of Fine Arts program. Students do not apply directly to Pre-Art; they are placed in the program on the strength of their application and academic credentials. Pre-Art students take the same curriculum as students in the Fine Arts program. At the end of the first year, they must qualify for admission into the Fine Arts program on the basis of their academic performance and they must successfully pass a portfolio review.
Application for High School Students
The application for the University of Cincinnati and DAAP are one in the same. High school students and other applicants hoping to begin their college careers must apply through the Common Application.

Applications for Transfer and "Transition" Students
Those seeking admission from other programs or colleges at UC or other universities must have at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA from previous college work to be given consideration. For priority consideration, completed transfer applications should be submitted prior to March 1 for admission the following fall.
Transfer Application
Transfer students can apply through the Office of Admissions. A transfer application is considered complete when the Office of Admissions has received the following documentation:
- Application for admission
- Official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended
- Official high school transcript and ACT or SAT scores if the applicant has completed fewer than 45 quarter hours or 30 semester hours of college credit
- Application fee
If you have already completed a bachelor's degree and want to enroll in a DAAP undergraduate program, you are considered a transfer student and should use the transfer application to apply.
"Transition" Application
Current UC students wishing to transition into a DAAP program from other majors at UC should submit an Application for Change in College and/or program form to the DAAP Student Affairs Office in Room 5470 Aronoff.
Current DAAP students hoping to transfer into a different major must submit a "Change of Program" form to the DAAP Student Affairs Office. This form is also available in the DAAP Student Affairs Office.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) — The U.S. Air Force launched an unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile from a California base on Wednesday, a month after the test flight was postponed because of tensions with North Korea.
The Minuteman 3 lifted off at 6:27 a.m. PDT Wednesday from Vandenberg Air Force Base. It splashed down less than 30 minutes later and 4,000 miles away at the Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, Air Force officials said.
It was the first Minuteman test-launch of 2013. Several missiles are launched from Vandenberg each year to verify the weapon system's accuracy and reliability.
The original mid-April flight was postponed by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel amid concerns that it might be misinterpreted during a time of heightened tension with North Korea.
The launch was rescheduled for Tuesday morning but was pushed back a day due to a problem with range safety instruments.
The U.S. has 450 nuclear-armed Minuteman 3 missiles ready for combat use, if directed by the president. They are in underground silos in five states.

All Wheelers & Peak Putters Juniper Dunes Run (11-14-09)
All Wheelers & Peak Putters -
Juniper Dunes Run
November 14th, 2009
On Saturday November 14th, 2009 around 7:30 AM I loaded up the rig to make the 100 mile journey to Juniper Dunes near Pasco, Washington.
It had gotten real cold the night before and the rig was frozen.
Along the way we stopped off for gas and food in Sunnyside.
We got to the meeting point in Smith Canyon just before 10 AM and started airing down with the others.
Paula Horton, a reporter a from the Tri-City Herald came out for a ride along. Her photographer also came on the run.
We convoyed toward the Upper Parking Area to meet up with the rest of the group.
We passed White Trash & Peanut going the back to find their goggles.
Pulling into the Upper Parking Area.
Most of the group but not all.
Bobracing broke his rear drive line early in the game.
Here are some pictures of our fun.
Fatboy testing the sand out.
TJ40 about to test out the new tires in the sand.
White Trash towing out Bobracing.
The group got together and picked up a mess someone left.
The Peak Putters stopped at the Upper Parking Area for lunch and we headed out toward the Northeast.
Here we stopped for a picture and to wait for Fatboy to catch up.
Mayur slid off the trail.
We regrouped with the Peak Putters at the north end big dunes.
My ride.
Grumpy (AKA DaveW) got himself stuck at the top of a big dune with the reporter riding shotgun.
This XJ lost a back window on the way up. I am guessing he is stuck too.
The view from the top.
Grumpy giving the dune another run.
Fatboy's turn.
TJ40 hitting the bowl.
Screaming Toylet
It was time to start heading back out so we said our goodbyes to the Peak Putters and headed out by running the trails toward the east fence.
There were a few steep climbs a long the way.
These guys happy to top the hill.
Running the fence line.
Once we got back to the Smith Canyon Small Parking Area we aired up.
Fatboy headed back to Yakima and the rest of us stopped in Richland for dinner at Kimo's before heading home.
This was a very fun run thanks to everyone that came out.
We hope to do some more joint runs with the Peak Putters in the future.

Please post up your report too Dave. It has some details I didn't post.
I'm going to say to start that it was one of the best days I've had out at Juniper ever! Why don't we do this more often?!?!
Started the day by meeting Lee and Paula Horton at McD's on Kennewick Ave. at about 9:15. Lee had to get food and gas, so Paula and I headed out and hooked up with Clay and his gang by about 10ish at Smith Canyon. Trash and Don passed thru and headed to the upper lot to unload and air down. Starting to look like a good turn out!
After getting aired down, we headed up the road to get everyone in the same place. Peanut had the "camp" set up by the time we all got there. We lined all the rigs up for a photo shoot pre run and milled around a while with Paula from the paper getting notes and aquainted with the crew. Her photog, Ky (?) rushed around getting pix of the rigs, then it was off to play. Paula an Ky were riding with me, so I took it easy to start and let them take notes and pix. Some of the AWORC crew aren't to familiar with sand, so we let them spend time getting the feel of thing and play on the dunes below the parking lot.
Carnage reared it's ugly head early when James broke the rear d-shaft in the flatty! Contingencies where worked out for Trash to haul him up the hill, then they got it to the trailer so James could get to friends place for repairs. Meanwhile, the rest of us played. I started getting braver with the TCH kids, who really seemed to enjoy the ride! Tim had the rail, and it was decided Ky would take a ride and get some in car action shots! I really want to see those. I think that kid would make a good wheeler! He bailed after lunch and missed the real fun. During all the thing with James, Don managed to pop a bead, so had to get that handled, too. Tim and I ran up to get the jack and CO2, but by the time we got back, things were covered.
After a couple hours of fun, we all gathered back at the tent and downed some food and enjoyed some lively BS, while Paula talked to folks and took a bunch of notes. Toni told her about the Christmas family activity, Peanut filled her in on ORVTW, and we made plans to head out again.
Headed out the pipeline and played grab a$$ with each other on the way to the north dunes. Most of us were playing in 2x, so lots of rooster tails and sideways fun. Spent some time in a small bowl where the turn is to head away from the fence to get to the other dune area, and kicked up some sand. I chased Trashy around a bit playing in 2x, and had a ball.
Got over to the big dunes to play, and spent some time attacking some small stuff and then decided to see about one of the bigger dune faces. There were some kids on bikes, so we watched them a bit , too. At this point, Wrench and his 4 popper Cherowagon got our attention by climbing one big dune. I'd been pretty impressed watching him wring that thing out all day! Trash, being Trash, took his turn after turn after turn and put on a bit of a show in the Rodeo.
Okay, so the 4 banger done got up the dune in fine style I want ya'll to know! Pretty cool. So, uh, me being me, I figured I'd be remiss in not trying the same hill. So, down and around to get lined up and take a run. Paula stayed with me, too. Brave lady! Well, as the pix will attest, I missed! Big time. One big red Ford stuck on a dune. Someone say winch? Lee hooked on with some help from Steve R. All tha did was pull it down tighter. Sooo, down to the bottom for Lee to run up behind me. Again, with able help from Steve, the line is attached and they get me unbeached. Okay, this will not do. Backed the thing down, took a short break, and lined up again. Paula had gotten out and was with the vultures at the top of the hill. Smart girl. 2nd gear, low range, and away we go. Got it that time! Anyone get a shot of it?
Meanwhile, Wrench is playing, too. Seems his spare wanted out and knocked out his rear window! Would you believe it didn't break, and he got it back in! Don't remember if he got up the hill again. Probably, tho.
So, while gathering our wits for more giggles, it's announced that Jafo has broken his rear d-shaft!! While he's getting that out, some of the rest of us watch FatBoy and his wrangler play on the dune. He never got up, but it sure wasn't for lack of trying! Clay took his turn backwards by easing the big ol' 'burban down from the top. Good shot of the underside, Clay! Nice grading job.
Well, we figured we best see to it Kev and the girls got out safe, so our bunch headed back down the fence line while the AWORC crew went out cross country. Lee and I followed while Don played in and out of some of the side trails.
I think it was around 3ish when we got back to camp and found TJ waiting around. After he got aired down, Paula went out with him for a bit. She deserved a ride in something besides my truck! James got back with a fixed d-shaft and also went out to play for a few more minutes. Good thing, as he had Trash's tow rig! Finished up the day with some good conversation and packed up to go. Paula kind of seemed like she didn't want to leave!
Also, some time was spent picking a mess in one of the parking areas where fires have been built. I think 6 bags are out in my truck.

I guess I'll share. It was good to get my wife and two little Jeeper Chicks out on a run.
Here are most of the rigs of the day...
...including these two.
Ever see this much flex in a stiff sprung, leaf spring flat fender.
Unfortunately James was the first victim of carnage with a broken driveshaft.
Anybody think Wrench (on the PP board) is just talking about the work he's done on his 4 cylinder... take a look he owned this BIG dune and he had all four in the air on some other dunes.
I'm not so tacknically litarate, but isn't something missing?
Oh, and look past the broken part, and you might get a feel for the big boy dune.
Hey Jafo, don't you need that under the Jeep?
And now, my artsy pic... this TJ kept trying, but I think he continued to be denied on the dune.
I tried the dune once, but some big red Ford land yacht was in my way and I was forced to put cable to him to get him out of my way. Im sure I would have made it otherwise and that is the way Ill continue to tell the story. Thanks for calling the run Ceg Grumpy and I think we will see some good press from getting the Herald out there.
:super: Thanks for posting up!
I cannot believe that that is my first post. Post counts don't lie, right.
Extend to those we meet friendship, courtesy and tolerance, as these values are necessary as well as contagious.

**These recommendations are for total intake through diet and/or supplements; not just one or the other.
Each cup of milk provides 300 mg of calcium. So 1,000 mg. equals approximately 3 and 1/3 cups [about 27 ounces] of milk per day. The National Dairy Council's "3-Every-Day of Dairy" program helps to increase our awareness of this goal.
According to the National Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics "the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for calcium is 2,500 mg/day. This is the maximum intake that is unlikely to pose risks of adverse health effects in almost all healthy individuals in a specified group. There is no established benefit for individuals to aim for the UL, or levels well above the daily goal. The need for setting ULs grew out of the increase in the practice of fortifying food with nutrients and in the use of dietary supplements by more people and in larger doses." So, avoid the "more is better" mentality (exceeding the UL will not improve your health and may even cause harm).
Healthy foods that are rich in calcium include:
These foods rich in calcium are good sources to include in your diet. If you don't receive enough calcium in your diet, first try to improve your intake of calcium rich foods. If this is not possible, talk to your doctor or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist about using calcium supplementation instead.
When taking calcium supplements, the form of calcium, dosing, and timing must be considered for the best absorption. In additon, adequate vitamin D will also help in the absorption of calcium.
Many people get enough vitamin D just from being out in the sun for a short while every day, others do not (especially those who stay indoors most of the time. In addition to spending some time in the sun, you can also get vitamin D from fortified cereals and milk or supplements. Most multivitamins contain some amount of vitamin D ranging from 400 to 1000 IU (read the product labels carefully). Experts continually evaluate current science to make sure recommended levels are safe and effective. Adult women and men up to the age 69 need 600 IU of Vitamin D per day. People over 70 should take 800 IU of vitamin D per day.
For more information on calcium supplements, see the Frequently Asked Questions article, How do I know what kind of calcium supplement to take?

I wanted to share some progress for anyone else who may be going through this struggle:
I have continued to have baby E weighed weekly, and he still is gaining a good amount of weight. In the mornings, I do side-lying nursing with him (a royal pain with a shield,) and when he's done eating, I remove the shield but leave him there for some skin-to-skin. A few times, I have woken up to him licking and sucking milk off my bare nipple, which is SO exciting, because it shows he is getting comfortable with them! We are still using the shield at every feeding, but the other day on a whim, I tried to latch him on the second breast without the shield during a feeding, and he did it! Not only that, but he stayed latched and finished the feeding that way! We have not managed that again since then but I am sure it'll happen again. My LC is having me pinch my nipple quite close to the tip to help him get on, since he refuses to open his mouth wide.
Overall, I am really encouraged by our small successes and so happy to have stubbornly persisted despite all the discouraging obstacles. I definitely urge anyone else stuck in the same spot to hang in there, find an awesome LC, and not forget the little things, like skin-to-skin and just enjoying the pleasure of nursing! Even if you do have to use a shield!
