About RSNA
The growth of the RSNA and specifically, the Society's Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, was putting an increasing strain on Palmer House facilities. There were so many radiologists coming to Chicago in late November to attend the yearly event, that the Executive Committee and 1967 RSNA President Harold G. Jacobson, MD, launched bus service to the nearby Conrad Hilton for radiologists who had not been able to secure rooms at the Palmer House.
New technology also played a role in the growth of the RSNA Scientific Assembly. By 1968, a carousel projector from Eastman Kodak, called the Mark 300, was first used for presentations in the Palmer House's main ballroom. It allowed for dual projection and enhanced scientific presentations. By the end of the decade, these projectors were being used by virtually all of the Refresher Course instructors.
In an attempt to alleviate overcrowding at the meeting, Theodore A. Tristan, MD, who had previously warned of the Palmer House's inadequacies, headed a newly established Audiovisual Aids Committee. Members of this committee scurried about the Palmer House during the Scientific Assembly to provide closed-circuit television transmission of the popular Sunday Evening Film Interpretation Session to overflow audiences in adjacent ballrooms. In addition, the Scientific Exhibits were moved from an open exhibit hall to individual hotel rooms on the seventh floor that were usually used by traveling salesmen to display their wares. Two or three exhibits were in each room. However, the rooms were so cramped and the cigarette smoke was so dense that seeing the exhibits was sometimes difficult. Consequently, RSNA meeting planners began keeping the exhibits open for viewing late into the evening.
In 1968, RSNA President Stanley M. Wyman, MD, oversaw the first RSNA Annual Meeting that used the entire facilities of the Palmer House. Other groups, such as the Midwestern 4-H Club and an association of American furriers, were forced to find other locations for their Chicago conventions when they coincided with the RSNA meeting. Many Society leaders joked that even Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley could not get a room at the Palmer House unless he could negotiate with the RSNA president beforehand.
Dr Tristan and his audiovisual committee continued to try to alleviate overcrowding by setting up more closed-circuit televisions to broadcast the Plenary Sessions. But meeting attendance was nearing 7,000—approximately 2,000 more than the total number of Society members. When sessions ended simultaneously, meeting attendees crowded the hallways and stairwells and could hardly move. In addition, despite the expansion of the exhibit hall earlier in the decade, technical exhibitors were demanding more space.
Radiology Editor William R. Eyler, MD, subsequently devoted the entire March 1969 issue to scientific research discussed at the 1968 Scientific Assembly. This made information accessible to those who were not at the annual meeting or could not attend all the sessions due to the overcrowding.
Dr Wyman and his successor as Society president, John H. Gilmore, MD, now faced the prospect of having to restrict the growth of the RSNA Scientific Assembly, knowing that this would be an unpopular decision. Nearly 30 potential technical exhibitors had already been excluded from the 1968 meeting and technology continued to advance. In July 1969, two American astronauts successfully landed on the moon and the development of new radiologic modalities was on the horizon. An issue of Radiology had included a paper describing a computer-based picture archiving and communication system to enhance imaging and diagnosis. Restricting the annual meeting seemed counterproductive for an organization dedicated foremost to education.
Yet to the credit of Dr Gilmore, Secretary-Treasurer Maurice Frazer, MD, and Executive Secretary Marguerite Henry, the RSNA still attempted to improve the effectiveness of its scientific assembly. For example, the 1969 meeting featured "radiologic roundtables" for residents to facilitate dialogue between students and leading teachers in the field.
By the end of the decade, the scientific assembly was too big to be housed in a single hotel anywhere.
RSNA leaders discussed the option of splitting parts of the annual meeting among several downtown Chicago venues. In 1969, the Society reserved an additional 750 rooms in the Pick-Congress Hotel for RSNA members and guests.
Ms Henry and Dr Frazer were becoming overwhelmed with meeting coordination and planning. In the short term, the Executive Committee recognized Ms Henry's contributions and officially changed her title from "executive secretary" to "executive director." In the long term, committee members considered hiring administrative assistants that would form the nucleus of a paid RSNA staff to help her and take over some responsibilities of the Society's secretary and treasurer. As the decade came to a close, it was apparent that RSNA leaders would have to make some major decisions to maintain the growth of the Society and the expansion of the Society's Scientific Assembly.

Corn: Even though the fundamentals are not the best, we cannot deny that support has been found in corn more than the other grains. Corn has opened up a new range from 708-3/4 in March corn all the way up to 775-3/4. Breaking first support was impressive, but it is hard to imagine that March corn would be breaking the next support anytime soon…Ryan Ettner
Soybeans: Soybeans are undervalued at these price levels. With this in mind, we recommend end users secure some of their needs in case the South America weather turns for the worse. We would recommend using options to obtain ownership as a way to reduce risk...Jim McCormick
Wheat: Outside markets are helping push the wheat higher Monday, with the dollar down 40 and Dow futures 150 points higher. Continue to watch the outside markets and look for the trade to take profits moving into the holiday. Until we see exports increase, do not expect this market to establish much direction…Cordon Sroka

Iffy for 14+
Beatles musical hits strong notes amid sex, drugs.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that although there's much to like about this Beatles-inspired musical -- it's visionary, it introduces young audiences to iconic songs, and it addresses important social issues -- some of the content is iffy for teens. Characters drink and take drugs without any negative consequences, and there are a few nude scenes (though they're artfully staged and echo the deep love between main characters Lucy and Jude). Still, teens are likely to relate to the film's powerful messages about the importance of friendships and the need to question authority when lives are at stake.
Messages: Characters plot ways to dodge the draft, sneak into the country illegally, and question the government (though all for reasons they deem noble -- i.e. to stop the Vietnam War). There's kindness between Lucy and Jude, even when they're at odds, and Jude and Max form a very strong and loyal friendship.
Violence: Soldiers shoot at others during the Vietnam War; cops shoot at looters and beat protesters (one main character is bloodied); anti-war extremists build bombs; a quarrel between two men turns physical.
Sex: Artistic scenes show two lovers floating in water, naked and kissing; they're also shown in bed (under the covers), waking up together, and locked in passionate embraces a handful of times (deep French kissing). Two scenes show bare breasts, and men's backsides are visible as well. Passing references to promiscuity.
Language: Runs the gamut from "bastard" to "s--t" and "f--k."
Consumerism: The film is inspired by Beatles music. Some labels of alcoholic beverages get screen time.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Characters smoke pot and use psychedelic drugs. They also drink quite a bit, from beer to hard liquor.

Let's Sing a Song That Everybody Knows was written for the Sesame Street Sing-Along! album. In this audio sketch, Bert and Ernie ride a bus to get to a relative of Bert's. However, as Bert knows that it takes a long time to get to where they are going, Bert tells Ernie that he would like to have something to do while they are waiting. After figuring out what they can't do on a bus, Ernie decides that they can sing a song that everybody knows, starting with the song "Let's Sing a Song That Everybody Knows", and leading to a medley of songs. First, Bert sings "The Bear Went Over the Mountain", then Ernie sings "The Eensey Weensey Spider", then Bert sings "The Alphabet Song", and then Ernie sings "George Washington Bridge", which, as Ernie says, "Even if you don't know this song, the words are very easy". However in "Sing-Along Travel Songs" it was slighty edited to fit the re-relases.

Duke looks to end bowl drought vs. Cincinnati
Duke wide receiver Conner Vernon sees Thursday night's Belk Bowl
against Cincinnati as a perfect opportunity to help the Blue
Devils' football team emerge from basketball coach Mike
Krzyzewski's shadow.
This is Duke's first bowl game in 18 seasons, and the Blue
Devils have their 6:30 p.m. time slot to themselves on a day with
two other bowl games.
"Anybody who follows college football will be watching, so this
is our chance in the national spotlight to take a big step forward
with this program and let people know about us," said Vernon, the
Atlantic Coast Conference's career leader in receptions and yards
Duke (6-6) hasn't won a bowl game since 1961.
"Is there a lot of pressure on us? Absolutely," said
quarterback Sean Renfree. "But good players like added pressure,
and they thrive on it."
Coach David Cutcliffe called this game the next step in trying
to build a winning tradition and raise the level of expectations of
the players, similar to what his friend Krzyzewski has done on the
"This is national exposure for us," Cutcliffe said. "The NFL
is not playing. We're it. We're the game. So people across the
country who maybe heard a little bit about Duke football, if they
see us play as well as we can play, I think they will be a little
shocked. We have a lot of speed and a lot of skill. So this can
have a huge impact for us."
And Cutcliffe said the Blue Devils are on the verge of something
"I don't plan on not making a bowl again – and that's the
mentality I want every player to have. … When I talked to coach
Krzyzewski, there is no question what the expectations of a Duke
basketball player are," Cutcliffe said. "And that's the
opportunity we have – to create really big expectations."
Duke faces a Cincinnati team in transition after the departure
earlier this month of coach Butch Jones and both coordinators.
Jones left to take the job at Tennessee, so defensive line coach
Steve Stripling will serve as interim head coach Thursday night.
Incoming coach Tommy Tuberville will also be on hand to watch but
won't have any input on game day.
Jones went 23-14 at Cincinnati the last three years.
The Bearcats (9-3) finished tied for the best record in the Big
East Conference but are left with only five full-time coaches from
Jones' staff to work the game. They'll have new coordinators
calling the shots on both sides of the ball.
Stripling led Central Michigan to a 44-41 win over Troy in the
2010 GMAC Bowl before joining Jones' staff. Stripling, who'll call
the plays on defense, said his biggest concern had been keeping his
team focused through adversity.
He said the play calls won't change.
"What we've tried to do from the beginning, because this is
such a different situation for them, is try to find some
normalcy," Stripling said. "You try to keep them in their comfort
zone and keep them focused."
Despite the changes, the Bearcats come in as 7-point favorites.
That's largely because they have a high-powered offense that'll be
facing a Blue Devils defense that collapsed down the stretch.
After a rare win over rival North Carolina to go 6-2, the Blue
Devils lost their final four games to Florida State, Clemson,
Georgia Tech and Miami. During that stretch, Duke's defense
surrendered a whopping 51 points and 294.5 yards rushing per
That should play into Cincinnati's hands.
Led by senior tailback George Winn, the Bearcats enter the game
ranked 31st in the country in rushing. After serving as a backup
for most of his career at Cincinnati, Winn has emerged as a leader
on offense, running for 1,204 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Cutcliffe said Winn reminds him of Cadillac Williams, a guy who
can put the team on his back and carry 25 to 30 times per game.
"I've had a chance to carry this offense and step up and take
on a big role," Winn said. "I think that has meant a lot to this
team, and that's meant a lot to this team which wasn't given a
chance, at least offensively, do anything special this year."
Duke will need its offense to be in high gear.
Renfree completed 66 percent of his passes for 2,760 yards with
18 touchdown passes and eight interceptions. His favorite targets
are Vernon and Jamison Crowder, who combined for 145 receptions and
15 touchdowns. Desmond Scott also caught 60 passes.
Cincinnati features a bend-but-don't-break defense.
"We kept teams off the scoreboard, which is big," Stripling
said. "I think that's going to be the key."
Stripling laughed when asked if he foresees a high-scoring
"Well, I'm a defensive guy, so I don't think that way," he
said. "Ultimately I think this game will be about which defense
steps up to the challenge."

Project Description
Membrane Technology and Research (MTR) and partners will validate at pilot scale a cost-effective membrane process to separate CO2 from coal-fired power plant flue gas. The MTR innovative membrane design utilizes two key innovations: high CO2 permeance membranes and a countercurrent sweep module design. This project will advance MTR's membrane technology to the 1 MWe level. MTR will continue to operate an existing 0.05 MWe slipstream field test system, located at the National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC), to optimize membrane materials and module designs. A 1 MWe membrane skid capable of 90% CO2 capture from a 20 ton CO2 per day slipstream of coal-fired flue gas will be designed, constructed, and installed at the NCCC for a six-month field test. MTR's air sweep process design will be evaluated in collaboration with Babcock & Wilcox to determine the performance impact of retrofitting existing boilers. The Electric Power Research Institute will evaluate the benefits of flue gas water recovery, measure the quality of the water produced, and define water management for the integrated CO2 capture process. Results from the 1 MWe skid test program will be used to update a comparative economic analysis of the MTR membrane process to clarify the potential of the MTR membrane process and identify key cost-reduction milestones and success criteria necessary to meet the Department of Energy program goals.
Predecessor Project: DE-NT0005312
Successor Project: DE-FE0013118
Project Benefits
This project focuses on the scale up of a high-permeance polymer-based membrane and process design. The process includes an air sweep step that transfers recycled CO2 to the boiler, increasing the driving force in the initial cross-flow membrane stage, reducing the required membrane area, total capital cost, and the overall energy cost. Specifically, this project will design, construct, and test a 1 MWe capacity membrane skid at the NCCC.

Once you've completed both practice tests, calculate your ACT and SAT scores using your practice tests' respective scoring guides and then
compare your scores.
The easiest way to compare your scores is to convert your total ACT test score to a total SAT test score using
Charm Bracelet City Block by VIDA VIDA Low Shipping Fee 4pznzZR
. Alternatively, you can compare percentiles for yourACT and SATscores to see on which test your percentile was higher. In the end, whichever test you scored higher on is the one you should ultimately prep for and use for college admissions.
If your ACT and SAT scores are nearly or exactly the same, you'll probably perform equally well on either test. So it's up to you, then, to decide
whether you'd like to try taking both tests
, or whether you'd prefer to take just one. For more information, read
Fast Delivery Online Footlocker Pictures Online Tote Bag Blue moonshell totebag by VIDA VIDA XKCjclo
Another way you can determine which test is right for you is to take a short quiz.In the chart below, check whether you agree or disagree with each statement.check whether you agree or disagree with each statement.
Now, count up your check marks in each column to find out what your score means.
Mostly Agrees — The SAT is your match!
If you agreed with most or all of the above statements, the SAT is what you've been looking for. With the SAT, you'll have more time for each question and won't need to deal with a pesky science section or a ton of geometry questions.
Mostly Disagrees — The ACT's the one for you!
If you disagreed with most or all of the statements, you'll most likely prefer the ACT over the SAT. On the ACT, you'll never have to come up with your own answers to math problems, and you get to let your opinion shine in your writing.
Equal Agrees and Disagrees — Either test will work!
If you checked "Agree" and "Disagree" an equal number of times, either the ACT or SAT will suit you. Unless you decide to take both, I suggest taking official ACT and SAT practice tests (as described in #1 above) to see which test's format you're ultimately more comfortable with.
Lastly, don't forget to find out whether your state has any specific testing requirements. Some states require all students to take the ACT or SAT . In these cases, it's usually best to stick with whatever test is required for your state so that you don't need to study for the other test, too.Some states require all students to take the ACT or SAT .

Georgia Might End Adopt-A-Highway Program Over Application From KKK
Georgia's Department of Transportation may be facing a serious legal challenge from members of a local Ku Klux Klan group that filed an application last month to adopt a mile's worth of Route 515 as part of the state's Adopt-A-Highway program.
If the Georgia DOT rejects the request, the International Keystone Knights of the KKK has already vowed to sue.
And they'll likely win: A similar effort to prevent the KKK from adopting a stretch of Interstate 55 south of St. Louis resulted in a court ruling that barred the Missouri DOT from excluding the Klan from the program on the basis of their ideology, citing the group's First Amendment rights.
"We just want to clean up the doggone road," said 34-year-old Harley Hanson, exalted cyclops of the Klan's Realm of Georgia. "We're not going to be out there in robes."
The only other option currently available to Georgia other than accepting the application is abandoning the 23-year-old program that currently involves over 4,100 individuals beautifying some 200 miles of roadway throughout the Peach State.
The Georgia DOT will decide today how to proceed after a meeting with the state Attorney General's Office.

Tinker Bell (US - BD RA)
Gabe discovers the hard way that this film turns viewers into 8 year old girls...
One winter night a child's laugh births a new fairy, who is named Tinker Bell. As her name signifies, Tink is delegated to the 'Tinker' tribe—the fairies that make the tools that the other specialized fairies (water fairies, wind fairies, fairies that paint insects, fairies that create rainbows, etc.) use in their daily work. Unfortunately, the Tinker tribe is somewhat looked down upon by the other fairies, as the tribe members have no magical powers, and when the seasons come to the main land world, the Tinkers are left behind. Determined to change her lot in life, and determined to visit the main land world, Tinker Bell attempts to learn the tricks of the other fairy trades.
Tinker Bell is so very aimed at little girls and not twenty-eight year old men. From opening shot to closing crawl I felt as if I'd wandered into the Barbie isle of my local Target on my way to the audio components isle. For some reason I'm too polite to ask the bustling children around me to move so that I may pass, and my gaze eventually transfixes on the packages around me. I begin to recognize the quality of the plastic doll craftsmanship, and the ingenious graphic design, even more than that I begin to recognize the advertising genius. By the time the kiddies finally move I've grown a grudging respect for the Barbie isle, but I haven't forgotten that I wasn't supposed to be there in the first place.
It seems to me that boy-centric entertainment concerns physical conflict, and that girl-centric entertainment concerns more emotional conflict—in a boy's movie the hero bests the bully physically first, whereas in a girl's movie the bully is humiliated first. The one thing the sexes seem to share in common is a love of the underdog. Tinker Bell is the prototypical underdog story, which heavy-handedly engages children on basic emotional levels, and runs its thin plot by the numbers. It's effective, but it's full of cheap shots and unoriginal ideas. There's also something unavoidably hypocritical about Tinker Bell's 'be yourself' messages being mixed with images of thin and curvy (Tinker got back), short-skirted girls, but I really only feel obligated to mention it. Actually, the real moral seems to be something about the importance of material things in the spiritual world.
The behind the scenes story of Tinker Bell is apparently a sorted and complex tale, that really deserves a full and honest telling, but I seriously doubt we'll ever get one. I remember a teaser trailer accompanying the Peter Pan Platinum Edition release, which came out about a year and a half ago. When I saw the official trailer more than a year later it looked like an entirely different film, which piqued my interest enough to look into it. Apparently the production went through a dozen re-writes and cast changes, and the budget eventually hit something like $50 million, which is insane for a straight to video release. Pixar head John Lasseter, who was made head of animation at Disney during the regime change, reportedly hated the film and called for a huge revamp.
Tinker Bell represents the continuing ease at which computer animation can be created. This is clearly a cheaper production than Meet the Robinsons or WALL-E, but the animation quality matches and even surpasses what was once considered state of the art. In high definition the lack of budget eating fine details is clear, but the chosen style is a sort of plastic look anyway (likely to match the look of the accompanying toy line). There are some miniscule details to get excited about, but mostly the transfer impresses with its colour clarity and effortless, noiseless tonal blends. It all kind of looks like a well maintained collection of hi-def video game cut-scenes.
Your PCM and Dolby Digital 5.1 options are pretty much identical on this particular disc. Both tracks are pretty average in scope, with a strong focus on music over sound effects. The surround effects are pretty rare, but work directionally, usually consisting of fairies flying from back to front. The dialogue mix is clear and consistent in volume, but is always as separate in feel from the effects as they are from the music. Composer Joel McNeely's score has a pleasant and crafty Gaelic slant. The music is presented with a much fuller body than any of the other audio elements, warmly engaging all channels, and generally sounding like a million bucks.
The minimal extras begin with 'Magical Guide to Pixie Hollow', which is an interactive look at the different seasonal environments of Tink's hometown. Well, interactive is an overstatement, what we really have here is a map of the Hollow with clickable sections that lead to Tinker Bell and Queen Fairy narrated Flash animation. 'Tinker Trainer' is a little more interactive. This extra consists of a series of patient trying games, which eventually lead to a vague sense of accomplishment.
'Ever Wonder' is a brief mini-film that mixes live action and animated fairies. The CG fairies whip around the unknowing live action humans creating natural wonder for about four minutes, with no dialogue. It's followed by a Selena Gomez music video, and a fluffy making-of featurette entitled 'Creating Pixie Hollow'. The ten minute featurette is made to sell the film, but actually packs a few interesting factoids, mostly concerning the filmmaker's structural and visual inspirations.
There are ten minutes of deleted scenes, totalling six, with optional director and producer introductions. This is the only part of the disc that acknowledges any of the rumoured changes made to the film late in the game. The scenes are presented in hi-def and 5.1 surround, and are a mix of storyboards and finished products, give or take a few missing sound effects and temp vocal performances.
Are you an eight year old girl? If you are I guarantee you'll love every minute of Tinker Bell. If you're not, then I guarantee your eight year old daughter/niece/granddaughter/cousin/step-sister will. The film doesn't compare at all to Disney's Pixar output, or even some of its made for TV animation, and it's obviously made to sell more DVDs, Blu-rays, dolls, books, and web space, but it isn't garbage either.

The company only sent my video store 2 copies of this! At first I thought it was the stupidest move ever, being as I'm constantly getting yelled at by parents for it not being in stock. Then I realized the company planned this all along so they could get everyone to buy the thing instead of rent it. It seems to be working.

I spent the entire movie annoyed that Tink was so watered down. This is not the feisty Tinkerbell from Pter Pan, this is Bratz with wings!

Well, Disney is an evil, evil beast. Which is why I'm so glad I got used a free ticket I won at a costume contest to see HSM 3. I'll be damned if they get any of my money.

No doubt I will be made to endure it over the next few weeks.
Gabe, give me something, some words of reassurance that I'll make it through to the end credits without falling asleep. Tell me it'll be okay.

How many potentially toxic ingredients do you smear on your skin, hair or nails on a daily basis?
Ingredients linked to allergies, hormone disorders and cancer are found in everything from toothpaste to hair gel. In 2008, a study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found 16 chemicals from four chemical families – phthalates, triclosan, parabens and musks – in the blood and urine of 20 teen girls. Though many of these ingredients are banned in other countries, they are not strictly regulated in the U.S.
Here are five common chemicals of concern found in cosmetics and personal care products, how they affect our bodies and what you can do to avoid them.
This group of chemicals is often used as a softener in plastic products and an additive in cosmetics like nail polish, moisturizer and fragrance, including scents added to other products. Because companies aren't required to list the ingredients used to create 'fragrancem,' phthalates are often not listed on the label.
Health hazards: Phthalates are considered hazardous waste and are regulated as pollutants in air and water. Banned in Europe, chemicals in the phthalate family are known to be endocrine disruptors and carcinogens, and linked to a number of heath problems. Phthalate exposure is linked to a number of reproductive problems in both men and women including reproductive system birth defects, damage to sperm DNA and infertility.
How to avoid it: Choose products that don't list phthalates or fragrance among the ingredients, or specify that they are phthalate-free.
Triclosan, the main active ingredient in antibacterial soaps and hand sanitizer, is also found in toothpastes, deodorants, face and body washes and acne treatments. Numerous studies have detected triclosan in the breast milk, blood and urine of ordinary people; in fact, a 2008 CDC survey found that 75 percent of Americans have triclosan in their bodies.
Health hazards: Triclosan, which has been proven to accumulate in the bodies of people and animals over time, is linked to the disruption of thyroid function and other critical hormonal systems. A 2010 study found that triclosan exposure is linked to allergies and hay fever in young people. Both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are currently evaluating the safety of triclosan use.
How to avoid it: In 2005, the FDA determined that soaps branded as "antibacterial," including those containing triclosan, are no more effective than soap and hot water at killing germs or reducing the spread of infection, so choosing triclosan-free soaps is a safe way to go.
Parabens are widely used as a preservative in all sorts of body care products and cosmetics to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. On ingredient lists, they appear as methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, isopropyl- and butylparaben.
Health hazards: The FDA concluded that very low levels of parabens are a safe additive in cosmetic products, but this determination does not account for the constant exposure that we receive through dozens of products on a daily basis. Laboratory studies show that parabens mimic the hormone estrogen in the body, and in one 2004 study, parabens were found in the breast cancer tumors of 19 of 20 women examined.
How to avoid it: Look for products that say "paraben-free" right on the label.
Nitro- and polycyclic musks
Another toxic ingredient hidden in the catch-all term 'fragrance' is musk, or specifically, nitro- and polycyclic musks. These chemicals are found in many products that list 'fragrance' among their ingredients and can be absorbed through the skin, inhaled and ingested.
Health hazards: Studies have shown that musks irritate the skin or cause allergic reactions, disrupt the hormone system and may be linked to cancer.
How to avoid it: Choose products with no added fragrance; products with naturally-derived fragrance will list the individual ingredients used for scent such as essential oils.
Eyelash glue, nail glue, nail polish and hair gel: these are just a few of the ways in which we are exposed to formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is used to prevent the growth of bacteria in personal care products and cosmetics.
Health hazards: Formaldehyde has been shown to cause allergic skin reactions and rashes in some people, and is considered a probable carcinogen.
How to avoid it: In Europe and Canada, products containing formaldehyde must carry a warning label, and in Japan and Sweden, it has been banned from use in cosmetics and toiletries altogether. In other countries such as the U.S., look for the following ingredients: formalin, methanal, urea, quatemium 15, oxymethyline, methylaldehyde, formic aldehyde, oxomethane formalin, 1,3-dioxetane, phenol formaldehyde and methylene oxide.

I'm writing an application where the grid needs to be fully dynamic. In this case, it is reading the grid's contents, as well as the column and model information, from a database.
In order to configure the columns and model via the database, I'm using JSON Reader's "response metadata" feature. This has worked fantastic, except for one problem I've bumped into.
My grid had a few columns that used custom renderers (before I made the grid dynamic). This was easily done when my grid wasn't reading in config information from the database, as I just hard-coded a renderer function and specified the "renderer" property on the column.
Is there any way to specify the column renderer via the reader's response metadata? Passing the renderer's function name as a string in the JSON metadata doesn't work.

The team announced Friday that this year's training camp will take place in its NovaCare Complex and Lincoln Financial Field after 17 years on the campus of Lehigh University.
Team president Don Smolenski says the decision was made, in part, because of the ready access to its equipment and facilities at its home base, including the training room and indoor practice venue, too.
He called it a difficult choice, noting the school and the city have "been part of our lives every summer for the past 17 years."
"There are so many people at Lehigh University who went above and beyond to accommodate us and to make training camp a special place for fans to travel each summer to get an up-close look at the team," Smolenski said in a statement.
The return marks the first time since 1943 that the team's training camp has been in Philadelphia.
Last year, former coach Andy Reid's oldest son, Garrett, was found dead at training camp after a long battle with drug addiction. Reid was let go at the end of last season after a 4-12 record and 14 years. He was replaced by former Oregon coach Chip Kelly.
Smolenski said the team aims to continue its interaction with fans during the training camp - the dates of which have not yet been announced - calling that a "huge priority" for the organization.
"As such, we are currently planning to utilize the opportunities available to us at Lincoln Financial Field to have a number of open practices - which will be free- available to all of our fans," he said. "We'll announce those specific plans in the coming weeks."
Before first going to Lehigh in 1996, the Eagles held training camp at West Chester University from 1980-1995. Before that, the team held training camp at Widener University, Albright College and in Hershey, Pa.
"Lehigh University has enjoyed hosting the Eagles' Training Camp for the past 17 seasons on our campus and on our athletic fields," said Joe Sterrett, Lehigh's dean of athletics. "We realize the Eagles are embarking upon a new era for their team and we wish Coach Kelly and the team all the best in the upcoming season."
The move back to team headquarters is becoming something of a trend in the NFL. The New York Giants in January elected to return training camp back to their complex in East Rutherford, N.J., after 16 years at the University at Albany. One thing that has helped some teams make this decision is experience from the lockout. Two seasons ago, for instance, the Giants stayed home and skipped Albany because of the shortened training time after a resolution to end the labor strife was announced. The Giants would go on to win the Super Bowl that season.
"I'm excited that Eagles' Training Camp is returning to Philadelphia," Mayor Michael Nutter said. "I'm looking forward to visiting Lincoln Financial Field with other Eagles fans to give Coach Kelly and the team a warm welcome to the city!"
The Eagles are coming off a last-place finish in the NFC East. They went 2-10 in the conference and lost their last three games. Reid was fired on New Year's Eve, and Kelly was hired in January.
This week, as free agency began, the new-look roster began to take shape. The team signed cornerback Cary Williams and safety Kenny Phillips on Thursday, giving them four new faces in the defensive backfield in a three-day span. The Eagles had signed safety Patrick Chung and cornerback Bradley Fletcher Tuesday.
On Friday, Philadelphia acquired wide receiver Arrelious Benn and a seventh-round pick from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a sixth-round choice this year and a conditional draft pick in 2014.
"The guys that Coach is going to bring in here, they'll be ready to work and learn. We'll be in the same room, reading the same things, reading the same book. It will be as hard as you want it to be," Chung said. "We have to gel together, new brothers, and just get this going and start working."
Fletcher concurred.
"With all the additions that are coming in, we'll all be able to come in here and gel," he said. "I think things are going to click real fast and we'll get things going in a hurry and be able to be all on the same page. So I'm really excited and we're all going to hit it hard."
In Philadelphia, not Bethlehem.

If I thought I was stressed out when I last posted I'm even more so now. I've managed to get my two uni essays finished and submitted in time so I'm glad they are over with even though they are both really crap but so long as they scrape a pass that's all I'm really caring about to be honest. I now have an official moving date which is Monday. The parents have got a van sorted, I have got my brother and my best friend's boyfriend to help with the heavy stuff and I've got a carpet fitter sorted. But I still have soooo much to do. I haven't even started packing things into boxes yet but now that the essays are out of the way I can spend Fri, Sat and Sun getting my whole life packed into boxes and bagging up all the rubbish that's to go to the skip.
There are a lot of problems with the new house, a lot more than what I first thought. At first I thought it was mainly cosmetic stuff that needed doing and once it was completely redecorated it would all be OK. But as it turns out there is a lot of damp as there are broken and missing tiles on the roof. We had such strong winds last night another two were off and lying in the garden today. There is a big crack on the outside of one of the walls that has come through into the bedroom and that wall which my Dad has now painted twice is not drying out properly at all because of it. The living room wall has a big damp patch as well. The property inspector finally came out today almost two weeks after I reported there being dampness in the house and thankfully he is putting the job through as an emergency which means that they will hopefully get the roof tiles fixed tomorrow so the dampness doesn't get any worse.
I got a letter from the council telling me that they have suspended my housing benefit until I give them an official moving in date which is adding to the stress as I now have my current housing association on my case about rent arrears. I'm also trying to sort out having my mail redirected but my postcode won't bring up the correct address on their system so I have to complete a form in a post office branch which was fine but they are asking for two forms of address ID which have to be within the last 3 months and I have changed to paperless billing for everything so that is stressing me out as well trying to get a couple of companies to quickly send me stuff out as it takes five days to set up which means I need to hang onto the keys for here for extra days so I can still get my mail. I also need to arrange for someone to come out from my current housing association to do an inspection so they can see I've not wrecked the place! And I still need to contact BT to have my phone line and internet moved as well. So yeah… lots to do and it's all sending my anxiety levels through the roof. The next few days are going to be crazy busy and I'm just crossing my fingers now and hoping that this dampness situation can be resolved as I don't want to be living in a damp house!
For some reason I've been getting a lot of urges to self harm again. There is no obvious reason for this, I think it's because I am that stressed that I need something to ground me because my head keeps overthinking about all the what if's and all the things I need to do then it speeds up too fast then it slows down too slow and I just feel as though I can't think straight at all. One minute I feel OK the next I'm having a full on panic attack then my thoughts are racing and no matter how many times I try and have words with myself that moving house is a big stressful event and it's 'normal' to feel really anxious it just doesn't seem to sink in and I just feel like I'm getting closer and closer to losing the plot.
*deep breaths*
OK, I guess as it's almost 2am I better think about trying to get some sleep. I'm tired yet wide awake. My head has been hurting all day but I think that's because I forgot to take my morning meds and probably the stress mixed in with it too. So a good night's sleep would be most welcome but it seems when I go to bed at the moment my heart likes to start playing funny buggers with me and doing that horrible palpitating thing then beating super fast for no apparent reason. Anxiety everywhere and all of the time! I just can't escape it… argh! I've had a good dose of Diazepam about half an hour ago so hopefully that will do the trick to let me get some proper sleep tonight but so far I don't feel much effect from them, think I may need to take a little extra one or two.
Goodnight folks x

BANGKOK (AP) — The government of Laos on Thursday disavowed responsibility for the disappearance of a respected social activist and suggested he had been kidnapped over a personal dispute. The statement that did little to allay fears he is being held by government security forces.
Sombath Somphone, 60, is believed to be in state custody after police CCTV footage showed him being detained by police, his car driven away and then him being driven away separately in the company of two unidentified men. He has not been seen or heard from since the incident Saturday.
Sombath's Singaporean wife, Ng Shui Meng, in an appeal Wednesday to the Lao government, described the video footage that showed her husband's encounter late Saturday at a police post in the Lao capital Vientiane. What purports to be a copy of the video has now been posted on YouTube.
"It is now nearly four days since the disappearance of my husband and I have yet to hear anything of his whereabouts," she wrote, appealing to the government "to please investigate my husband's disappearance as soon as possible, release information of his whereabouts and ensure his safety."
Friends and colleagues of Sombath insist he has no known enemies.
Laos has an authoritarian government with little tolerance for dissent, but friends and associates said Sombath's work was neither directly political nor confrontational.
Sombath, 60, received the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Community Leadership, one of Asia's top civil honors, in 2005. He was director until five months ago of the Participatory Development Training Centre, which he founded in 1996 to promote education and leadership skills. He is also involved in a small enterprise selling village handicrafts.
The statement of the Lao Foreign Affairs Minsry spokesman, dated Wednesday and posted on the website of the state news agency KPL, acknowledges receiving appeals from Sombath's wife and a copy of the video.
It says it shows his car had been stopped for a routine check, and relates many of the same details described by Sombath's wife, of a man arriving on motorcycle, Sombath's jeep being driven away and a pickup truck with hazard lights arriving and later departing with at least two men "to an unknown destination." It said the men could not be identified and there was no sign of them being forced to get into the vehicle.
"Following the preliminary assessment of the incidence from the CCTV footage, the authorities concerned viewed that it may be possible Mr. Sombath has been kidnapped perhaps because of a personal conflict or a conflict in business," the statement said.
It added that "authorities concerned are currently and seriously investigating."
The latest U.S. State Department human rights report, for 2011, described Laos as an authoritarian state under one-party communist rule, and said that arbitrary arrests and detentions persisted in Laos despite laws prohibiting them. It also said "prison conditions were harsh and at times life-threatening, and corruption in the police and judiciary persisted."
The United States has voiced concern about Sombath's disappearance, with the State Department urging the Lao government to make every effort to locate the activist.
The statement from the Lao government spokesman failed to satisfy those worried about Sombath's safety.
"The Lao government needs to immediately reveal Sombath's location and release him," Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch, said in statement issued Thursday.
"The Lao authorities should realize that the risk to their international reputation grows by leaps and bounds every day Sombath's whereabouts remain unknown," Adams warned.
Associated Press reporters Elisa Mala and Vee Intarakratug in Bangkok, and Matthew Pennington in Washington contributed to this report

Prince finding his way with Rangers
ANAHEIM -- Human nature, Rangers manager Ron Washington called it. Prince Fielder nodded, knowing precisely what his boss meant.
"You're not trying to prove everything -- it's not that," Fielder was saying late Sunday afternoon, having finally felt like Prince again in a 14-3 rout of the Angels that gave Texas the weekend series. "You want to be yourself, and instead of being yourself, you force it. You get away from who you are a little bit."View Full Game Coverage
ANAHEIM -- Human nature, Rangers manager Ron Washington called it. Prince Fielder nodded, knowing precisely what his boss meant.
"You're not trying to prove everything -- it's not that," Fielder was saying late Sunday afternoon, having finally felt like Prince again in a 14-3 rout of the Angels that gave Texas the weekend series. "You want to be yourself, and instead of being yourself, you force it. You get away from who you are a little bit."View Full Game Coverage
That was Fielder during his first month in his new digs as the Rangers' new first baseman. He squeezed the bat maybe a little too hard, swung perhaps with a little too much force. He didn't hit. It was a month like few he'd experienced.
If Prince was feeling oddly like a pauper, that spell seemingly was broken during a bust-out performance against rookie lefty Tyler Skaggs on a sunny day less than an hour from where he was born, in Ontario, Calif.
Fielder lashed run-scoring doubles to right field in the first and second innings. He walked twice and lashed another single in the ninth, racing hard, as if it really meant something, for the final run of the day on Alex Rios' three-run triple into the left-field corner.
"Prince loves the game," Washington said. "He plays with passion."
The three hits lifted Fielder's batting average to .228, which tells you how bad his April was -- .206 with two homers, the first coming in his 15th game in a Rangers uniform.
"Now I'm settled in," Fielder said. "It's been a full month. The guys are cool. It's time to fall in love with my approach -- seeing it and squaring it up. Hopefully, what happened today keeps happening."
Only seven active players, excluding suspended Alex Rodriguez, have higher career on-base plus slugging percentages than Fielder's .910. He's a .284 career hitter with a .523 slugging mark. Turning 30 on Friday, he is nowhere close to the dark side of the mountain.
But there he was all April, no power in his bat, feeling a little lonesome in the Lone Star State.
Washington, who has seen it all in 43 years in the professional game, wasn't shocked. Big star moves to a new city and he gets outside of himself, wanting to show folks he's everything he's cracked up to be.
"When you're a star in this game," Washington explained, "they expect you to be a star all the time. But you're human. You have deficiencies like everyone else -- it's just that your deficiencies don't last as long because of your ability, your talent.
"He had a bad month of April. He can turn it around in May, and no one will remember. When he starts getting it going, he's going to pile up the RBIs like he always does."
Fielder's 881 RBIs are more than any player in the game 30 or younger. Ryan Braun, with 699, is the closest.
"You know with a guy like that, with a track record, he's going to turn it around," Washington said. "This is not a perfect game. It will humble you. If you take something for granted, it will wake you up."
Fielder was highly productive in Milwaukee and then in Detroit after signing as a free agent. He was shipped to Texas, in exchange for Ian Kinsler, after the Tigers fell short in their pursuit of a World Series title in October. Detroit wanted to get more athletic and Texas wanted to get back to bashing teams.
Keenly aware of the expectations, as are all athletes, Prince got away from himself just enough to struggle. And he wasn't alone. Even the great Adrian Beltre has struggled out of the gate, along with Elvis Andrus.
"It happens to everybody, the best of us," Beltre said, his three hits Sunday raising his average to .254. "Sometimes you want to show your teammates a little bit. He understands. We know he's one of the best hitters in the league for so long.
"It's just a matter of time before he gets comfortable and finds his stroke. We're pretty sure he's going to be the same player he's been for nine years."
Fielder has hit some bullets into gloves, into shifts, Beltre pointed out. When you turn it around, those balls find open spaces.
"Obviously, we don't want to be in a slump, but it happens," Beltre said. "It happens early in the season sometimes. I'm used to starting slow and finishing strong."
While Beltre, Fielder and Andrus have scuffled, Shin-Soo Choo (.349) and Rios (.328) have flourished. The potential exists for a lethal order.
"It's just a matter of time before everybody gets on the same page," Rios said. "It's good to see people doing what they do. We know we have a good offense. It's going to be exciting."
Washington said he never lost faith in Fielder, understanding that track records exist for reasons.
"It shouldn't happen; you should continue to be who you are," Washington said. "But it's human nature. I like what I saw with Prince today. He looked so comfortable. He was letting the ball come to him and putting the head [of the bat] on it. He looked like he's beginning to get his timing, letting his hands work. He smoked those balls today."
Fielder is 7-for-19 (.368) in the past five games. He'll celebrate birthday No. 30 on Friday in his new home park against the Red Sox, a big star showing signs that there's a lot of sizzle left in his game.

Smoking ban starts in Manchester public housingBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 30. 2014 10:58PM
MANCHESTER — A smoking ban starts today in all of the nearly 1,400 apartments under the control of the Manchester Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
The ban follows a year of preparation, housing authority Director Dick Dunfey said. Nowadays, smokers are more understanding of limitations placed on their habit, he said.
"We're very optimistic people will comply and recognize it's not appreciated by others," Dunfey said on Wednesday. "We don't anticipate a problem. That isn't to say nobody will end up violating it."
The ban applies to all apartments, hallways and common areas in the authority-owned apartments as well as the three tax-credit-financed developments the authority manages: the Mary Gale Home, the Brown School and the Laurette Sweeney Apartments off South Porter Street.
The provision does not apply to apartments funded with Section 8 vouchers, where rental provisions are left up to individual landlords.
People cannot smoke within 25 feet of entrances, a restriction that is a sore spot for a couple of smokers outside the Pariseau high-rise Wednesday evening.
Larry Buck said he smokes outside because his wife doesn't like second-hand smoke. So he sits on a bench or chair under an alcove that is just feet from the main entrance. He brings a coffee, and other smokers join him often.
The 25-foot restriction would put them on the lawn or sidewalk, without a shelter.
"The winters are really cold out here," Buck said. "There's a lot of old and disabled people in this building. ... We don't have anywhere to go."
Dunfey said the authority is not going to build shelters or smoking porches.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recommended in 2012 that local authorities ban smoking in public housing. The Manchester authority board voted in April 2013 to ban smoking, effective today.
No-smoking provisions were added to annual leases as they came up for renewal. And the authority offered smoking cessation programs that Dunfey said were modestly attended.
Dunfey said smokers who violate the ban will be given a warning. In general, tenants are evicted after the third lease violation.
At the 11-story Pariseau high-rise, non-smokers said they're happy to see the ban, but questioned if smokers will obey it.
"It's bad. Too many people smoke in the hallway, inside their apartments, in the stairs," Ricardo Ventura said.
"It's wonderful," said a resident who would only give her first name, Christina. She said she keeps the window in her second-floor apartment closed in the summer because people smoke nearby.
It's not only tobacco that gets burned, she said. She once got dizzy and fell down after breathing in smoke from a nearby apartment.
"I don't know if it was marijuana," Christina said, "but it was a drug."

It's a glorious time to play for the Bruins.
For the first time since 1992, the franchise is headed to the conference finals.
Obviously, it's been a team effort so far. But there have been plenty of great individual performances, including some outstanding ones in the three wins that completed the sweep of Philadelphia last week.
After a quiet first round, David Krejci erupted in the second round against the Flyers. In last week's three games he posted 2-3-5 totals, including the overtime game-winner in Game 2. He was plus-3 with five shots on net.
Dennis Seidenberg has been the Bruins' ice time leader throughout these playoffs, and that didn't change last week. In the overtime Game 2 win, he logged 36:44 of ice time. For the week he recorded one assist, a plus-6 rating and 10 blocked shots.
The first playoff run of Nathan Horton's NHL career couldn't have gone any better if he wrote it up as a fairy tale. He continued to produce points last week with four assists, including setting up Krejci's Game 2 winner, and one goal. He was plus-4 with nine shots on net.
Captain Zdeno Chara has thrived on the sport's biggest stage like he never had before. Last week, he recorded two goals, one assist and a plus-7 rating with 11 shots on net and seven blocked shots.
So I ask you, readers of TheBruinsBlog.net:
Who should be the Bruin of the Week?
- David Krejci (59%, 56 Votes)
- Dennis Seidenberg (19%, 18 Votes)
- Nathan Horton (13%, 12 Votes)
- Zdeno Chara (9%, 9 Votes)
Total Voters: 95

Nanny sues Mel B for defamation: report
Mel B is allegedly being sued for defamation by her former nanny Lorraine Gilles.
The former Spice Girls star previously claimed her estranged husband, Stephen Belafonte, impregnated the childminder and urged her to get an abortion after Mel B scoffed at the idea of letting Gilles and her child live with them.
According to TMZ, Gilles' lawsuit centres on this declaration, as well as Mel B's allegation that she and Belafonte were stealing money from her and had control over sex tapes Mel and Belafonte made during their marriage.
The website adds that Gilles has accompanied her lawsuit with various pictures and other exhibits which she believes will convince a jury that Mel B is lying.
A person usually can't be sued for what they allege in court papers, but there is an exception in California family law cases which allows someone to sue if they are a third party not involved in the litigation, like Gilles with Mel B's divorce case.
The Wannabe star's lawyers previously filed for a court order to gain access to a storage locker, rented under Gilles' name, where she believes the sex tapes are being kept, but this was denied.
However, a judge granted a restraining order against the former nanny, which prevents Gilles from harassing Mel B and to stay 100 yards away from her and stops her from removing any property from the storage locker.
Belafonte's lawyer Grace Jamra recently spoke out to defend Gilles about the storage saga, saying, "She had nothing to do with the storage facility and, in fact, Ms. Brown terminated Gilles before the items were placed in storage."
Mel B also claimed that after she fired Giles in January 2015, Belafonte threatened to release the sex videos unless she rehired the childminder with a raise.
The singer filed for divorce from producer Belafonte last month, claiming that he abused her during their marriage. He has strenuously denied her allegations.

Epping says it doesn't want liability for pedestrian signalBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
January 10. 2014 8:01PM
EPPING — The state is proposing a pedestrian signal on Route 125 to allow snowmobilers and others who use the state's rail trail to safely cross the busy highway, but there's just one hitch: The state wants the town to take ownership of the lights and maintain them.
Selectmen refused to sign the state's proposed agreement for the light at a board meeting Monday.
"I don't think the town should have any responsibility or liability with a crosswalk on a rail trail," said Board of Selectmen Chairman Tom Gauthier.
Selectmen insisted that the town shouldn't be involved in any way with a light that would be installed on a state highway for users of the state-owned Rockingham Recreational Trail.
But that's the state's policy when it comes to the installation of these signals known as "pedestrian hybrid beacons," according to Sally Gunn, senior traffic operations engineer with the state Department of Transportation's Bureau of Traffic.
State highway officials proposed the signal as part of a plan to make improvements to Route 125 that include repaving a section of highway in the area where the signal would be installed. They're also planning a section of sidewalk on Main Street and a crosswalk and pedestrian signals at the intersection of Main Street and Route 125. The crosswalk would allow people to cross over to the Epping Crossing shopping center.
According to Gunn, the state has installed a pedestrian hybrid beacon in Meredith and two more are planned for the rail trail in Goffstown.
In those cases, Gunn said the towns agreed to take ownership of the signals.
Selectman Tom Dwyer pointed out that the town doesn't maintain any other traffic signals.
Gunn said the signals are an effective way to stop traffic on a highway like Route 125, which sees a traffic volume of 27,000 vehicles a day.
Selectmen admitted that it's dangerous for snowmobiles, bicyclists and others who use the trail and have to cross the highway in an area where there are no lights.
"It is mind boggling that someone hasn't been flattened by a truck," Selectman Jim McGeough said.
State highway officials plan to discuss the project further, but at this point selectmen have no plans to accept the maintenance agreement.

Nursing, pumping, cloth-diapering, babywearing, working professor mama with the awesomest SAHD ever.
The 25 ounces that were thrown away were over the course of 5 weeks, not one week. Still a lot and totally unnecessary.
This morning I pumped 3 oz before she woke up for the day and another 1 oz after she went down for her morning nap. Tonight she has been nursing constantly and doing a lot of fussing and crying. She very rarely has any evening fussies that go on and on like this. She seems to be getting really frustrated at the breast. I just feel like there is nothing there for her. Dad just fed her 1 oz in a bottle and she sucked it down. She's had plenty of wet and poopy diapers today so I don't think she's starving. She also spit up twice this afternoon/evening fairly large volumes, which she almost never does. I'm not sure what is going on. I just feel like I don't have enough milk for her.
mama, don't get frustrated! (easier said than done) just keep putting her to the breast. babies can't control their intake from the bottle so hte fact that she sucked it down says nothing about whether she was hungry. fussy at night is normal. just ride it out. you have enough milk. (and anyway, what you pumped this morning has little effect on your supply tonight.)
Nursing, pumping, cloth-diapering, babywearing, working professor mama with the awesomest SAHD ever.
i found there were periods of time in the evening when my son would suck for HOURS while falling asleep. he just needed to suck. i found that taking him for a walk in our ergo outside before bed worked well, something about fresh air always helped us.
So today is Monday and this week I decided to pump every 2 hours instead of every 3. So far I've pumped 2.5 oz starting at 8:30 during my commute (right after baby nursed, so, OK). Then 4 oz at 10:30, and then I pumped again at 12:30 and I only got 2 oz. So I've pumped 8.5 oz. I used to pump 8 oz in my first pumping session of the day when I first came back to work. If I pump again at 2:30 and get 2 oz, that will get me to 10.5 oz. I leave at 4 and get home and will nurse at 4:30. This is not going to be enough milk. I'm starting to panic. My new membranes and valves arrive today. I'm not sure if this is all in my head or not but I feel like I should be able to pump more than 2 oz after 2 hours. I'm not sure what to do.
Take a deep breath mama. As time goes on, your milk supply regulates. Pumping 8 ounces out at once is NOT normal, it is oversupply. 3 to 4 ounces at a time is more typical, regardless of what a pp said in this thread. Can you pump in the car on your commute home? I know that will be just before you nurse your baby, but that is ok. You are gone for 9 hours, 10.5 ounces is enough for her - especially since you nurse her right before you leave and right when you pick her up.
Mommy to
Lilah 10/08 nursed 25 months
Beatrix 01/11 nursed 30 months
Thanks. It's so hard to know what is normal and easy to feel insecure. I just feel like the stakes are high, this is my ability to feed my baby. I'm going to try a Symphony for a week (or maybe longer, depending on how it goes) just to rule out any possibility that pumping with this PISA is hurting my supply. I don't expect a lot more milk from it but I think it will put my mind at ease. I'm also going to go back on More Milk Plus. If I'm pumping with a Symphony every 2-3 hours at work and breastfeeding on demand at home with a some extra pumping evenings and weekends when I can manage it, then what else can I do? It will have to be what it is.
the more relaxed you are the better mama, please please please try not to stress (and try not to do the math) just make peace with pumping as in what I pump is what I pump and all you can do is pump more if that's not enough... there is no amount of stressing in the whole world that will give you anything but LESS milk.... so just read a book and drink lots of water.... try not to look at amounts until the END of the day when you are home with babe....
Moma to *Silas* 10-30-07
what I did when I was having severe supply issues. ( I was on a menopause inducing medication - lupron injections, that reduced my supply)
I bought a brand new setup (horns, membranes, tubes) and rented a symphony that I kept locked in my desk at work M-F taking it home on weekends
I nursed baby 1 hour before leaving the house, this was a long relaxed session taking about 20 minutes on each side while laying in bed together
I pumped about 2 hours after arriving at work
I pumped every 2-3 hours at work for a minimum of 30-40 minutes (I was always slow at the pump)
I nursed my son when I first saw him at DCP for about 20 minutes
I nursed my son again as soon as we got home (30-40 min commute in traffic)
I nursed him on demand all evening until he went down for his longest stretch
once he was down for the long stretch I would eat a snack - cheese and milk usually - take a long hot shower - then hook up to the pump for 45 minutes in front of the TV with a big glass of water...
this was soooo hard but in the end it made all the difference in the world.....
Moma to *Silas* 10-30-07
also have you confirmed you are using the proper horn sizes??? I eventually needed to change sizes and used a separate horn size for each boob, kwim???

Associated Press
COLUMBIA, SC (AP) - Coach Steve Spurrier says No. 6 South Carolina is better than Kentucky.
While the coach is obviously very confident, he says if the Gamecocks don't play better than the Wildcats on Saturday, Kentucky "can certainly beat us."
The ingredients appear to be there for a rout for South Carolina.
The Wildcats don't look any better than the team the Gamecocks beat 54-3 last season, and South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw's injured shoulder appears healed.
Shaw completed 20 straight passes to finish last week's 31-10 win over Missouri. The junior needs just five completions to start Saturday's game to pass former Tennessee QB Tee Martin's SEC record of 25 competitions. The Football Bowl Subdivision record is 36 completions by East Carolina's Dominique Davis.

If you listen to podcasts I'm on or read any articles I write about Minecraft then you already know I love it. I adore the fact that it lets me create whatever comes to my imagination, but also that I have to earn the tools to make my creations come to life. It's helped me through some dire times in my personal life, and been one of the games I've spent more time with than any other in the last year.
Obviously, I like it a lot.
That being said, I don't feel comfortable reviewing Minecraft until I spend some time with the "final release," which went live today at Minecon. This new content doesn't radically alter the core gameplay of Minecraft, but is different enough I feel I should give it a shot before rendering a verdict on one of the biggest games of the year.
For now, tide yourselves over with the first of three videos I've made showing scores Minecraft is most definitely not getting.
The third edition will appear tomorrow, with the final review going up this Wednesday.
May Notch be with you all.

Anxiety about driving
My relative is 80 years old and has been very independent. Her right foot recently slipped off the brake pedal when she was driving and she is now experiencing anxiety attacks when she drives/approaches a traffic light or stop sign. Her right knee was replaced in 2005. Her geriatric psychologist just stopped practicing and moved away. where should she start to get help?
Anxiety is a major problem for some older people and an event such as you describe can trigger a panic attack. Your relative may benefit from psychological support to manage anxiety. Suggest contact with your local Area Agency on Aging, Council on Aging, etc. for a recommendation to mental health practitioner working with older adults. In addition, there are driving evaluation and education sites that assist older adults who are experiencing challenges with driving. Suggest contacting your state Department of Motor Vehicles for assistance in locating this service for older adults in your area. Hope this information is helpful.
