Syllabub is an English dish that was eaten both as a dessert and a snack in the late 19th century and was even available from street vendors. This syllabub can be served in a large goblet or wine glass with simple cookies as accompaniment. It can also be used as a sauce for macerated fresh berries or anything else that might accompany a zabaglione. It can also be served with Apple Charlotte, as in Chef Waldy Malouf's The Hudson River Valley Cookbook.
Grated zest and juice of 1 1/5 lemons
6 ounces good-quality Cream Sherry
2 ounces good-quality Brandy
1/2 cup superfine sugar
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
- Combine the lemon zest and juice, sherry, brandy and sugar in a nonreactive bowl.
- Refrigerate the mixture overnight.
- The next day, in a mixing bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form.
- Strain the lemon mixture and whip it into the cream. Keep the syllabub chilled or freeze it for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes or until it forms a soft slush.

Women's health leadership transitions
February 28, 2013
Drs. Berlin and Edwards named interim co-directors of Center for Women's Health; Aaron Caughey appointed associate dean for women's health research and policy
Michelle Berlin, M.D., MPH, and Renee Edwards, M.D., MBA, have accepted the appointment of interim co-directors of the OHSU Center for Women's Health. Drs. Berlin and Edwards currently serve as associate directors of the OHSU Center for Women's Health and Dr. Edwards is the Center's medical director. They will both continue their leadership roles in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
"The potential of the Center for Women's Health is enormous, and the original vision of a patient-centered resource for women was truly far-sighted. With changes coming soon due to health care reform, the time is ideal to invest in the Center in ways that help it realize its original holistic vision for seamless women's health care," said Dean Mark Richardson. "I am very pleased Drs. Berlin and Edwards have accepted this new leadership role."
In 1997, the Center's founding vision was articulated by a committed group of Oregon citizen-leaders who proactively advocated for a new model for women's health care. In partnership with OHSU, they worked to realize a vision that would establish the Center as a setting where a coordinated and multidisciplinary approach to women's health, anchored in primary care and with access to all relevant disciplines, would intersect with research, education and state-of-the-art health information.
Over time, the Center has grown. In recognition of its accomplishments, in 2003, Dr. Berlin led OHSU's successful effort to obtain the Center's federal designation as a National Center of Excellence in Women's Health by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. It is one of only 20 such centers nationwide with this designation.
In addition to providing a seamless health care experience, Drs. Berlin and Edwards intend to guide the Center in its evolution to a centralized resource for all aspects of women's health. As part of this, the Center will develop the tools to become a trusted resource for women's health information, a clearinghouse for new knowledge, a facilitator of women's health research, and a strong public advocate on behalf of women's health.
The School of Medicine Office of the Dean will invest in the Center with new resources during this leadership transition to expand recruitment of primary care providers and develop communications/health content resources. The Center will continue, as it has since its inception, to report to the dean of the School of Medicine.
"This new role for the Center for Women's Health is designed to position OHSU to assume a more visible and active role in women's health and to better serve this patient group," said Dean Richardson.
As part of this expanded focus on women's health, Dean Richardson has appointed Aaron Caughey, M.D., Ph.D., MPP, MPH to the position of associate dean for women's health research and policy in the OHSU School of Medicine. In this role, Dr. Caughey, who is also chair of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, will advise Dean Richardson on the coordination of research associated with enhancing women's health care and outcomes, both within OHSU and in developing external partnerships.
"Dr. Caughey's understanding of the breadth of research across disciplines relevant to women's health, combined with his expertise in health care economics, will help OHSU evolve creatively in response to health care reform and the evolution of coordinated care organizations in Oregon," said Dean Richardson.
Michelle Berlin, M.D., MPH, joined OHSU in 2001. She is associate professor and vice chair of public health, policy and community service in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, associate director of the OHSU Center for Women's Health, and director of the OHSU Center of Excellence in Women's Health Dr. Berlin is one of few obstetrician-gynecologists in the United States also fully trained in preventive medicine. She is a primary author of Making the Grade on Women's Health: A National and State-by-State Report Card. Dr. Berlin also serves as program director of the CWH's Policy Advisory Towards Health (PATH for women), focusing on health policy issues within women's health.
Renee Edwards, M.D., MBA, joined OHSU in 1999. She is associate professor, vice chair of clinical affairs and division chief for urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology and associate director of the OHSU Center for Women's Health. Since 2001, she has served as the medical director of the OHSU Center for Women's Health. She is nationally known for her expertise in urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery including minimally invasive robotic surgery. She holds numerous administrative positions within OHSU Healthcare and the School of Medicine.
Aaron Caughey, M.D., Ph.D., MPP, MPH, joined OHSU in 2010. He is professor and chair of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology. Dr. Caughey is a nationally accomplished clinician, educator and researcher. In his clinical practice, Dr. Caughey has a special interest in diabetes in pregnancy. His research interests over the past decade have focused on utilizing a broad array of methodologies to address questions in obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine. He recently returned to the Pacific Northwest and to OHSU, in particular, because of the opportunity to lead a talented department and to impact women's health across Oregon.

Richard Justice says these are the good times:
Now they've got you jumping out of your chair and pumping your fist. OK, I might be stretching that a bit, but you know what I mean. You can't believe the transformation. You love this team. You love its youth and energy. You love its fight...
...I think the Astros are a reminder than attitude and youth and desire are really, really important. I think they're an endorsement of the environment Brad Mills and his staff have created...
... While we dishing out credit, let's not overlook GM Ed Wade, who traded for J.A. Happ and Jeff Keppinger, got Jeff Fulchino and Wilton Lopez off waivers and signed Brett Myers, Jason Michaels and others.
Meanwhile, he's rebuilding the minor league system. There are miles to go before the Astros are a finished production, but it would be impossible to predict the dramatic turn things would take. Pats on the back all around.

I think the youth movement is a great for the astros. I really thought I'd be upset when we traded Roy-O and Puma (2 years ago I would of). The reality is its worked out in both the short and (hopefully) the long run. Ultimately it had to happen.

Schools to target cyber-bullying
PRIMARY school students will learn about internet dangers and how to be ''safe and respectful digital citizens'' in a bid to stop them from growing into cyber bullies.
Amid rising concern over the impact of social-media-based harassment, Prime Minister Julia Gillard will announce details of an education program to be rolled out in 3200 schools across Australia.
The cyber safety scheme, to be launched in Sydney on Wednesday, covers realistic scenarios young people may face online and how to deal with them.
The lessons will target children in middle primary school years and older - aiming to promote positive communication and discourage children from harassing their peers.
An education lecturer at the University of Technology Sydney, Damian Maher, said students should be encouraged to keep a copy of the offending material and report the incident to parents or teachers.
Although the interactive sessions will give advice to students about what to do if they are the victims of cyber attacks, it is understood the focus will be on stopping such behaviour in the first place.
Cyber-bullying involves the use of technology such as the internet or mobile phones to harass or intimidate others.
A study of 500 Australian teenagers by internet security firm McAfee found about a quarter had been victims of cyber-bullying and half had witnessed a classmate or friend endure mean or cruel behaviour online.
The most common venue for this cyber-bullying was said to be Facebook.
Separate federal government-commissioned research suggested the vast majority of year four to year nine students had not experienced technology-based bullying over the school term.
But higher rates were found among secondary students and students from non-government schools.
Cyber-bullying seemed to be related to age or access to technology, with older students more likely to engage in cyber-bullying than younger students, according to the 2009 study by Edith Cowan University's Child Health Promotion Research Centre.
The new online safety sessions, set to include videos and discussion among classmates, have been developed by Life Education Australia and McAfee.
Life Education already sends its mobile vans to schools to provide occasional lessons on health, safety and drugs and will now expand the program to include positive digital behaviour.
Dr Maher, who specialises in cyber-bullying and computers in schools, said middle primary school was a good time to start having a discussion about online safety.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has proposed the appointment of a ''children's e-safety commissioner'' and measures to ensure offensive material can be taken down swiftly.
Daniel Hurst covers federal politics, focusing on education, employment and workplace relations.

stewart erskine rolland who is now at nim roud with captain layard assisting him in his endeavors lo bring to light the hidden antiqua rian treasures of nineveh : the first two or three days at mossul i spent in examining the excavations at koynni jik where fresh slabs are being every day brought to light two new collossal bulls and and two collossal figures were discovered while i was there at the entrance of the city gates ; and lhe pavement at the gateway marked with ruts by chariot wheels was also uncovered i left my wife under mrs rassa.n's care and ac companied layard a day's journey to the vil lages of baarshekah and bamyaneh and to lhe mound of khorsabad we took greyhounds with us and had a day's hunting catching se ven antelopes after our return mr layard charlotte and i and our servants embarked on a raft and floated down the tigris in seven hours to this little village of nimroud close to the large mound which was the first excavated sending our baggage and horse by land we have since been residing in his house here ; it is in fact little more than a mud hut ; but he has put in glass windows a table and some sofas and made it comfortable as circumstan ces will admit " layard placed a party of workmen under my control and allowed me to dig where i please i am sinking wells in all directions and am not without hopes of discovering sub terranean chambers which i am convinced must exist in one place considerably below the level of any of the hitherto discovered monu ments a brick arch between two walls of brick has been dicovered it is a puzzle to us all — another great discovery is an immense stone wall of most solid masonry inside the brick py ramid the workmen are laboiingto force an entrance into it but their progress is necessa rily very slow not exceeding a foot or two in a day but the greatest discovery yet made since the earth was first turned remains to be told i will five it you in due order — you must recollect that i commenced my let ter on christmas day and am continuing it at intervals january 3 1850 on the 2_th of decern ber layard and i with our attendants and two or ihree arab sheikhs started to pay a visit to the tai on the other side of the ' zab we were the first europeans who had ever visited that country three hours galloping from nim roud brought us to the banks of the stream which is as rapid and broad as the tigris and neariy as deep but here being divided into four branches is fordable with some diffi culty we swam our horses across it gelling of course very wet in the operation our visit here has a threefold object — first to explore the mound of abou sheela which appears to contain a built city ; secondly lo make friends between two rival chiefs ofthe tai ; and third ly to promote a reconcilialion between them and their implacable enemies the jibours which will much facilitate layard s future operations " our first visit was to the camp of the haw ar who is considered by all the arabs even by ihose of the great african desert to be the highest born and noblest among them he is probably the man of most ancient descent in j the world reckoning his genealogy far above ! the time of abraham he is supported in his | pretensions to lhe chieftainship by lhe noblest j of the tribe while his rival feras is support ed hy the turks and the greater number ofthe i tai his brolher the handsomest man i have ever seen came out to meet us with one hun dred horsemen most of whom had come to our village to plunder the other day they gallop ed madly about the plain brandishing iheir long spears shouting their war-cry and escort ' ed us in great state to the camp of the sheikh where he stood to receive us i never saw so noble or dignified a figure he is eminently j handsome though advanced in years and suf fering from ill health in stature he is gigan tic six feet four or five at least and erect as a ! pine tree his tent was a spacious one a load for three camels with the women's tents on one side and lhat of the horses on the other all under the same covering mats and cush i ions were spread on the floor of tbe tent on which the hawar layard and i sal as did his brother his uncle and others of the magnates : ofthe tribe while the rest stood in a semicir ' cle at the door a noble hunting hawk stood on his perch in the centre we partook of ! spiced coffee discussed lhe business on which \ we came and dined in the tent on a capital stew of mutton pumpkins rice and sour milk after we had partaken the rest of the tribe made their repast a certain number sitting down together each man rising when he was satisfied and a sort of master of the ceremo monies calling out the name of the man who was to succeed him there was no bustle or indecorum after dinner they all said their prayers we had sent on our tents which by ithe way got very wet crossing the river and we pitched ihem close to that ofthe sheikh — the next day the encampment changed its quarters i have seldom seen a more pictur esque sight the sheikh's tent was struck first aiutlhe procession of laden camels horse men donkeys and cattle stretched as far as the eye could reach i calculated that there were about two thousand persons with their camels horses and caille we paid our visit to feras the rival sheikh taking wiih us lhe brother of lhe hawar we were well received though not with the same dignified courtesy " while we were away the workmen had opened a trench by layard's direction to show my wife a certain slab which he had buried ; in doing so ihey uncovered three copper cal drens of immense size and some huge dishes of metal layard carefully removed the earth from one caldron which was partially filled with it and discovered an immense variety ot ivory oraments an iron exe-head and innumer able other articles which for lhe present i must forbear to mention having promised se crecy layard removed as many as he could and covered ihe rest wiih earth it is by far the most important discovery that has yet been made he has placed them under my charge and given me lhe direction oflhe workmen as he is obliged to go to mossul to make prepara tions for the removal of lhe two finest colossal lions that have yet been discovered which will i trust be on their way to england in a month or two alter lhat we shall cross lhe zab with our tents encamp there and pass our time alternately in hunting and digging in he mound you can have no idea of the difficulties layard has to contend with or the energy tal ent perseverance and shrewdness with which he surmounts them or the exquisite tact and good humor wiih which he manages the differ ent people he has to deal with in the first place he has nothing but conjecture lo guide him in his researches ; it is literally groping in the dark and all sorts of buried treasures may lie within his reach while from the very small amount of funds placed at his disposal he is unable to make any thing like a proper search and contents himself wiih sinking trench es almost at hazard as it were jan 6 — yesterday we removed more than thirty metal vases bowls and saucers most beautifully embosedand engraved some shields and swords of which the handles remain alone the iron blades being decomposed and a small marble vase the cups and bowls and other ornaments are of some unknown alloy of met als but they are all so encrusted with decom posed and crystallized copper and so fragile that they cannot be handled without great dan ger and mr layard is sending them home in the state in which he found them without at tempting to remove the rust " i spent eight hours yesterday scratching ihem out of the clay with my hands as the operation was too delicate to allow even a knife to be used my wife was employed the whole night in packing them we may now con graiulate the british nation is being possessed of an entirely unique collection the value of which is inestimable the ornaments and sculptures on the vases denote a very advanced stage of civilization not the least curious of lhe discoveries are several hundred mother-o pearl studs in form exactly resembling our shirt buttons the london

intelligence of new and important discoveries in lhe nimroud mound he has made fresh and exten-ive ex cavations in parts of lhe eminence not yet ex plored and the result has been the finding of nothing less than the ihrone upon which the monarch reigning about three thousand years ago sat in his splendid palace it is composed of metal and ivory the metal being richly wrought and the ivory

an eminent physician of dublin who had his residence in the country but ren ted rooms in the city to which he came daily at ten o'clock came one morning at the usual hour and was obliged to rap three times the last time very loud before the door was opened it was at length o pened by a young man but not before the physician had attracted by his knocking the attention of a lady living on the oppo site side of the street the young man who opened the door passed out suddenly which caused the physician to step into the kitchen to see if anything was the matter when he found the servant girl in the agonies of death the jugular vein of her neck was pierced with a kniting needle with which she had been at work the physician took her in his arms and carried her to his room in order to restore her if possible in carrying her his clothes became spotted with blood finding he could do nothing for her he changed his clothes and went out to attend an urgent patient the lady who had observed him knocking at the door noticed his hasty departure from the house and having both curiosity and sus picion aroused caused the house to be entered and the physician's room opened when the dead body was discovered the physician was arrested tried condemned and executed the strongest evidence against him was that of a surgeon of em inence who testified that no one but a surgeon could have inflicted the wound in so precise and scientific a manner when called for his defence the physi cian said were he on the jury he should decide such a case as his guilty but de clared before god and the world that he was innocent of the crime imputed to him twenty years after his execution a man on his death-bed confessed that the phys ician was innocent he said that he was a lover ofthe girl and was in the habit of visiting her mornings ; that on the mor ning of her death she bade him go away as the doctor's hour was near and he told her he would go after she gave him a kiss in attempting to kiss her she playfully raised her hand to push him when the needle which she held perforated the vein of her neck hearing the physician's knock at the door he hastened to let him in and escaped himself and hearing of the physician's arrest feared to come for ward and explain least he should be tried thus a judicial murder was done upon the evidence of a professional man who was altogether mistaken — n y

that it will furnish the best relutalion ofthe ca lumnies heaped on the commonwealth — will have some effect in correcting those sectional j prejudices which from the beginning have ex ercised a baneful influence in the councils of the slate — that while it strengthens lhe attach ment of the patriotic to iheir home it may help to slay that tide of emigration on account of which north carolina has been heretofore but a nursery for other states nature has denied lo this region those navi gable waters which bind together the extremes of other states and tempt the inhabitants to great enterprises ; but as if to make up for this neglect she has bountifully supplied it with ev ery kind of agricultural and mineral produc tion and all varieties of pleasant and beautiful climate and of grand and beautiful scenery — these things however cannot be here known j by the intermingling of the population on the cheap high-ways of commerce ; brooks must therefore supply the place of rivers

experience a satisfaction to which emi grants are ever strangers besides the ex penses and lhe sacrifices caused by the emi gration from north carolina forthe last twenty years would if judiciously invested in public works have made lhe state a garden and have i brought a market lo every county ; thus these j self exiled children of our commonwealth would have made a better state than those to which . they have gone — would have been enabled to live in ease among the scenes of their child hood — to have encountered the infirmities of age among their own people and mingled their , dust with that of their kindred in their father land such are some of the considerations which ! have prevented the undersigned irom seeking his fortune in other states ; and such consid erations he hopes are beginning to weigh on • the public mind he therefore respectfully invites special at | tention to the notice of the work on which he 1 is engaged ; and requests that those who can will communicate such information as may as sist him in his undertaking historical noli i ces of counties and towns — accounts of pecu , liarities of climate and soil of water-powers mining operations and remarkable yields in farming — and statistics of the wealth produc tions and exports of different places will be , gratefully received he would also be glad to get descriptions of the harbours sand-bars and inlets along the coast — and would be much gratified with views and sketches of scenery in this region in tbe mountains or in any other interesting localities he desires lhat all com munications be

He doesn't recommend it, but Scott says you can go without anti-virus software on your PC if you're careful enough online.
All it takes is a bit of common sense and some general caution.
However at this time of year the sharks circle.
Transactions galore are whizzing around the internet as more and more of us do our Christmas shopping from the comfort of our lounge rooms.
And that gives would-be thieves more opportunity to scam us.
Scott says the most common threats come in the form of emails purporting to be from postal and delivery services on the state of our parcels, and bogus order confirmations from various fake company websites.
He says the most important thing to do is not to open any attachments from these sorts of emails or click on any links embedded in them.
If you need to check on the status of an order or parcel delivery, use the website directly.

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 15, 2012
Mount Sinai President and CEO Kenneth L. Davis, MD and Chairman of the Boards of Trustees Peter W. May announced today that the Mount Sinai School of Medicine has been renamed the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in honor of Trustee Carl C. Icahn. Mr. Icahn, whose latest gift is the largest in Mount Sinai's history and among the biggest ever given to a medical school, signed the formal agreement Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at his offices in midtown Manhattan.
The new name was approved by the Boards of Trustees on September 24 in recognition of Mr. Icahn's many years of dedicated service to the institution, his leadership in advancing medical science, and his nearly $200 million in lifetime giving to Mount Sinai. In addition, the Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology will be renamed the Icahn Genomics Institute.
"Carl's support enables our scientists and clinicians to continue pursuing groundbreaking discoveries. We are honored to bear the Icahn School of Medicine name as we revolutionize healthcare for Mount Sinai patients and for patients around the world," said Dr. Davis.
Mr. Icahn, one of America's most prominent and influential investors, has been a member of the Boards of Trustees, and a Trustee of the School of Medicine since 2000. His gifts have been, and will continue to be, utilized for general medical research as well as specific research in the burgeoning field of genomics in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Dennis S. Charney, MD, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs of The Mount Sinai Medical Center, said Mr. Icahn's remarkable generosity would fund various research projects at the medical school's numerous disease-focused and core technology-based institutes, including the newly named Icahn Institute for Genomics.
"Carl Icahn's generosity has tremendously strengthened Mount Sinai's capacity for innovation by allowing us flexibility and opportunistic creativity, two of the greatest assets for any innovative organization," said Dr. Charney. "We are extremely grateful to Carl not only for his philanthropic support but also for his trust and confidence in Mount Sinai and the major role our institution will continue to play in transforming global health care."
Mr. Icahn's previous contributions to Mount Sinai resulted in a state-of-the-art medical school research building on the Mount Sinai campus being named The Icahn Medical Institute.
"I have been very impressed with Mount Sinai's extraordinary achievements to date in scientific discovery, medical education, translational medicine and patient care," said Mr. Icahn. "I am certain that my contributions to Mount Sinai will lead to significant medical breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of disease that will dramatically improve and extend human life."
Mr. Icahn's most recent giving to Mount Sinai has supported the Campaign for Mount Sinai, a $1 billion capital campaign that launched in 2008 and that recently surpassed its target, well in advance of its scheduled December 2013 conclusion. "Carl Icahn has been a remarkable supporter of the capital campaign, and as a philanthropist, he is a game-changer for Mount Sinai," said Peter May. "His gift helped us to surpass our original $1 billion goal and has given us the momentum we need to reach our new goal of $1.3 billion."
"No matter how you look at it, this is a historic time for Mount Sinai," said Trustee James S. Tisch, who is chairman of the Campaign for Mount Sinai. "Carl's gift caps off one of the most generous outpourings of institutional support I have ever seen. And with a year to go, every gift we receive ensures that more and more advances will be made in the research and clinical care that are the hallmarks of Mount Sinai."

Hedge funds cut bets on a rally in gold by the most since 2007 and became the most bearish ever on sugar and coffee as concern that the Federal Reserve will slow U.S. stimulus programs drove prices for raw materials to the biggest loss this year.
Money managers and other large speculators reduced their net-long position in gold futures and options by 40% in the week ended Feb. 19 to 42,318, the biggest drop since July 31, 2007, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. Wagers across 18 U.S. raw materials tumbled to the lowest since December 2011 as investors' net-short positions for sugar and coffee hit record highs. Bullish corn wagers fell the most since June 2010.
Global holdings of exchange-traded products backed by gold tumbled 1.6% last week, the most since August 2011, after minutes of a Fed policy meeting showed several officials said the central bank should be ready to vary the pace of their monthly bond purchases. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 commodities sank 2.6%, the most since Dec. 7. The gauge surged 85% in the four years through Dec. 31 as the Fed expanded its balance sheet to more than $3 trillion.
"The expectations and rhetoric out of the Fed about an exit strategy has spooked people, making them think the Fed is going to tighten stimulus," James Dailey, who manages $215 million at TEAM Financial Asset Management LLC in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, said in a telephone interview. "There's a confluence of weak gold owners, and people who don't have a strong conviction about owning gold."
Commodities Slide
The GSCI Index has dropped 2.2% in February, heading for the biggest monthly loss since October. The MSCI All-Country World Index of equities climbed 0.1%, while the dollar advanced 2.7% against a basket of six trading partners. Treasuries rose 0.2%, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
Many Fed policymakers "expressed some concerns about potential costs and risks arising from further asset purchases," according to the minutes of the latest Federal Open Market Committee meeting released Feb. 20. The central bank is purchasing $85 billion a month in debt, putting it on track to expand its record $3.08 trillion balance sheet by $1.02 trillion this year.
Fed Governor Jerome Powell said Feb. 22 the central bank could revise its plan to eventually sell the securities acquired during its large-scale asset purchases, both to avoid causing financial instability and taking losses on its sales. Fed Governor Jeremy Stein said this month some credit markets, including leveraged loans and junk bonds, show signs of potentially excessive risk-taking. In 2007, the central bank held less than $900 billion in assets.

Labor pains... are no laughing matterBy MELANIE PLENDA
Special to the Sunday News
August 24. 2014 1:48AM
Women looking to fight pain during labor have one more weapon in their arsenal if they deliver at some area hospitals.
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is now being used as an analgesic in several New Hampshire hospitals, including Monadnock Community Hospital in Peterborough and Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. This colorless, odorless gas when inhaled causes the woman's body to relax and for her to feel calm.
"If a woman uses nitrous she'll say 'I feel pain,' but, she'll say, 'I just don't really care," said Elizabeth Kester, a registered nurse who manages the Women and Children's Health Services at Monadnock Community Hospital, which was the first hospital in New England to offer nitrous.
The reason for that, Kester explains, is because of the dissociative effect of the gas on the user. When a woman is in labor, as she starts to feel a contraction, she places a facemask over her mouth and nose.
She takes a deep breath in, which releases the gas. As she breathes out, she does so into the mask, allowing the machine to recapture any remaining nitrous in her exhalation. This keeps anyone else in the room from taking in even a small amount of the residual gas.
After roughly 30 seconds, she feels the effect of the gas.
"If a woman doesn't like the way she's feeling with the gas, she can just take off the mask and it's gone," Kester said. "Where with narcotics or an epidural, if a woman doesn't like the way it feels, she's kind of out of luck."
Kester said that the pain relief of nitrous is a good alternative for women who want something in between feeling nothing - as with an epidural - and feeling everything. The gas also leaves the woman the option of being able to get up out of bed and walk around. This is not usually possible with an epidural, which largely numbs a woman from the waist down, and narcotics, which can leave a woman feeling drugged and sleepy.
Kester also said it gives a woman the feeling that she has some control over what's happening to her since she is the one who determines when she needs the gas and when she doesn't.
It's also relatively safe. Both narcotics and epidurals come with safety concerns and epidurals come with an increased risk of the mother needing medical interventions later in her labor. Nitrous does have side effects that include nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. These effects are relatively rare and usually go away when the gas is removed and the woman breathes in fresh air.
It's also, so far, considered safe for the baby. The gas is filtered through the mother's lungs and not her liver like you would see with a narcotic. The gas does pass through the placenta, but it's gone as soon as the mom takes in a breath of fresh air.
Further, getting gas for labor is not like getting gas for your teeth. The machines used for labor are set to a 50/50 blend of oxygen and nitrous and can't be adjusted, whereas dental gas is delivered can be titrated up or down and can be delivered in much higher concentrations, up to 70 percent.
At the 50/50 level used for labor, nitrous in not an anesthetic; it's simply an analgesic.
Though new in this area, nitrous is not a new method of pain relief. According to the study "Nitrous Oxide for Labor Analgesia," compiled by Dr. Curtis Baysinger of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, nearly 50 percent of laboring women in Finland and Canada, a full 50 percent of women in Australia, and 60 percent of laboring women in the United Kingdom, avail themselves of this colorless, odorless gas for pain relief, and have for generations. However, as of 2011, only 1 percent of U.S. hospitals were offering it.
As of this summer, there were 19 hospitals and 14 birthing centers in the country offering, or in the process of offering, nitrous oxide during labor.

Do you love animals? Do you want to be a veterinarian?
Our preveterinary program will prepare you to meet the admission requirements of Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine.
To become a veterinarian, you must graduate from a four-year program at an accredited college of veterinary medicine with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) degree and obtain a license to practice. All veterinary schools require a significant number of credit hours, ranging from 45 to 90 semester hours, at the undergraduate level. However, most schools prefer completion of the bachelor's degree.
Because the requirements vary from school to school, you should contact each school about their specific requirements. Twenty-eight schools in 26 states meet accreditation standards set by the Council on Education of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

An Image-Based Approach to Scientific Visualization
Sponsor: Department of Energy (DOE)
Effective analysis requires continuous thought and rapid feedback to queries (visual queries for scientific visualization). This method requires a substantial paradigm shift from the current method of storing all of the data for later analysis. This work offers such a shift in paradigms. It is built upon the premise that many precomputed "animations" can be constructed to satisfy more than 90% of a user's queries about the simulation. With training, experience, and the right tools, we can approach 100%. Compare this to current visualization tools, which can be applied to answer most (but not all) queries on a single data set, but offer little support for multiple data sets. The latency involved in using these tools with very large data sets, tries even the most patient scientist. As a result, many questions are left unanswered for even a single data set, because of this formidable bottleneck.
The long term objective of this research is to develop a more synchronous compute and investigate procedure that will not require the user to manipulate cumbersome and prodigious computational data.
Funding for this project is made possible through a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy

MORRISON – Tuesday, Russell Reed's family heard the word they had been waiting more than four years to hear: Guilty.
A Whiteside County jury took just more than two hours to find Reed's killer, Nicholas T. Sheley, guilty of first-degree murder, home invasion and residential burglary.
"The gratification is that we were able to obtain justice for the family of Mr. Reed, even though that justice was delayed far longer than we would have liked to have seen it delayed," Whiteside County State's Attorney Gary Spencer said.
The packed courtroom was silent as the jury foreman read the verdict. Sheley, in an oversized, wrinkled T-shirt, showed little reaction.
He will be sentenced Jan. 16, and faces life without parole.
Reed family members hugged each other outside the courtroom then quickly left the courthouse.
Reed's son and daughter-in-law, Don and Bonnie Reed, have been fixtures at every court hearing.
Sheley's attorney, Jeremy Karlin of Galesburg, declined to comment.
During the six days of testimony, Sheley declined to take the stand and the defense did not call any witnesses. The prosecution rested its case Monday after calling 41 witnesses.
On June 23, 2008, Sheley beat Reed to death in the kitchen of his Blue Goose Road home in rural Sterling, dragged him through the house and garage and stuffed him in the trunk of his 2003 Buick Century.
His body was found three days later. The Buick was parked in the driveway where Sheley's brother's girlfriend lived.
A forensic pathologist testified that Reed was struck at least 18 times on his face, neck and chest with a blunt object. Prosecutors did not identify a murder weapon.
Sheley took Reed's checkbook and wallet, both of which were found near a local funeral home weeks later.
He robbed and killed the 93-year-old to get money to feed his crack cocaine habit, prosecutors said.
Sheley's DNA was found on a cigarette butt in Reed's kitchen, and his fingerprint was found on the window of the Buick.
"Justice was served today," Whiteside County Sheriff Kelly Wilhelmi said.
"It's terrible that we have to live in a world with the Nick Sheleys," Wilhelmi said. "Every time we can add a conviction to this animal, we are going to make sure that he stays in custody forever."
This is Sheley 's second murder conviction. The 33-year-old Sterling man is serving life without parole after being found guilty in Knox County in September 2011 of bludgeoning Ronald Randall, 65, of Galesburg, on June 28, 2008. He was the second of eight people investigators say Sheley killed.
Sheley also is charged in the deaths of Brock Branson, 29, Branson's fiancee, Kilynna Blake, 20, her 2-year-old son, Dayan, and Kenneth Ulve, 25, all of Rock Falls; and Arkansas couple Jill and Tom Estes, who were killed in Festus, Mo.
Spencer was assisted by state Assistant Attorneys General Steve Nate and Michael Atterberry.
The attorney general's office has assisted in all of Sheley's Illinois cases.
"My heart goes out to the family and friends of Russell Reed," Attorney General Lisa Madigan said in a statement. "It is my hope that this verdict brings them some closure and peace of mind in knowing that justice has been served in the senseless murder of their loved one."
Spencer said he believes Tuesday's verdict is a "step on the way" to helping the community heal.
"We have yet another verdict that we intend to achieve," he said.
Branson's father, Dallas Branson, sat through each day of testimony. He said Tuesday's verdict makes him confident that there will be a guilty verdict in his son's case.
"The wait is the problem," he said. "We wait and we wait and we wait. We want our justice, too, for our son."
"It's tough every day," Branson said. "You never forget, never."
Randall's sister, Pat Randall of Galesburg, and other family also sat in on some of the trial.
When asked if the Reed trial made her relive her brother's trial, she said, "You always do."
"Now we can go home and relax again until the next one. We're going to follow him."
Branson said the families have formed a bond over the past few years.
"That support is good, it's great for your family, I tell ya," he said.

This is the Uniden BCD396T (not XT) scanner. Antenna and batteries not included. GPS/program connector is broken off, but presumably repairable by Uniden (or a skilled electrician). Radio does power up and receive. Condition - wear & tear from years of use, and a bit dusty from lying on a shelf since it was broken (I'll try to clean it up before it gets shipped). Shipping is roughly $35 for UPS to US destinations, to be negotiated upon completion of sale.
Any chance you could post a couple of pics?

When it comes to managing the hazards of the twenty-first century, it is reckless to relegate the American public to the sidelines. During the Cold War, the threat of nuclear weapons placed the fate of millions in the hands of a few. But responding to today's challenges, the threats of terrorism and natural disasters, requires the broad engagement of civil society. The terrorists' chosen battlegrounds are likely to be occupied by civilians, not soldiers. And more than the loss of innocent lives is at stake: a climate of fear and a sense of powerlessness in the face of adversity are undermining faith in American ideals and fueling political demagoguery. Sustaining the United States' global leadership and economic competitiveness ultimately depends on bolstering the resilience of its society. Periodically, things will go badly wrong. The United States must be prepared to minimize the consequences of those eventualities and bounce back quickly.
Resilience has historically been one of the United States' great national strengths. It was the quality that helped tame a raw continent and then allowed the country to cope with the extraordinary challenges that occasionally placed the American experiment in peril. From the early settlements in Virginia and Massachusetts to the westward expansion, Americans willingly ventured into the wild to build better lives. During the epic struggles of the American Revolution, the American Civil War, and the two world wars; occasional economic downturns and the Great Depression; and the periodic scourges of earthquakes, epidemics, floods, and hurricanes, Americans have drawn strength from adversity. Each generation bequeathed to the next a sense of confidence and optimism about the future.
But this reservoir of self-sufficiency is being depleted. The United States is becoming a brittle nation. An increasingly urbanized and suburbanized population has embraced just-in-time lifestyles tethered to ATM machines and 24-hour stores that provide instant access to cash, food, and gas. When the power goes out and these modern conveniences fail, Americans are incapacitated. Meanwhile, two decades of taxpayer rebellion have stripped
The podcaster and 'public intellectual' sits down to discuss identity politics' stranglehold on modern political discourse,intellectual honestyand landing a debate at the O2 arena scheduled between Justin Timberlake and Iron Maiden.
Sam Harris is a neuroscientist, best-selling author,philosopher and host of the podcast Waking Up . He describes his job as 'someone who thinks in public' and has established a reputation as one of the leading lights in both New Atheism and secular spirituality. We sat down ahead of the biggest live event of his career – his upcoming show at the O2 Arena with psychology professor Jordan Peterson and Centre for Social Cohesion founder Douglas Murray – to talk intellectual honesty, the crisis of meaning, and how public intellectualism became the new rock and roll.
What is the background to this event with Peterson and Murray and what are you hoping will come from the conversation?
[Peterson and I] had two podcast interviews, and they were painful to one or another degree. We disagreed about some fundamental things and found it difficult to converge and I am expecting that Douglas' presence on the stage will make for a far more fruitful conversation because I think Douglas and I go way back and agree about many things but disagree about some others, and I think there will be a very interesting synergy between the two of us and Jordan. So I think for instance Jordan and Douglas are both far more concerned about the importance of maintaining quote "Judeo-Christian values" and think it's the historical and religious underpinnings of our civilisation that are somehow put in peril by secularism and multiculturalism and other modern trends. And I have some of the same concerns about values and politics that they do but I have, as I think you know, very little concern that jettisoning Christianity and Judaism will undermine our values. So I don't think our values are anchored to religion in the way that they seem to. But I think that will be an interesting conversation to have. But more generally we share this common experience of touching taboo topics and paying a price for it in the mainstream media and yet these topics are no less important to touch, topics like religion and differences between cultures, the West vs the Rest, race, intelligence, wealth, power, terrorism. These are all topics which when you talk about them, unless your speech is passed through the filter of political correctness, you get a lot of pushback. And I think the time for political correctness is over. So as much as we may disagree, we are of like mind about that, and I think that's what people are eager to hear more of.
The event is being billed as 'the Woodstock of live speaking and debate', but based on your previous conversations it doesn't seem like there's much and peace and love between the two of you…

Highs and lows of the Highlander
BBC Sport Online profiles British skier Alain Baxter, who is appealing against losing his Olympic bronze medal after failing a drugs test.
Alain Baxter's Olympic bronze medal completed a meteoric rise to the top level of his sport.
The 28-year-old Scot came home a surprise third in the men's slalom in Salt Lake City.
It was a shock result because he came into the Games on the back of a less than impressive World Cup campaign.
But a bigger bombshell came with the news he has failed a drugs test.
Baxter produced a positive sample for the prohibited substance methamphetamine, which he later said he had inadvertently taken via a Vicks nasal stick.
Despite his protestations, the International Olympic Committee's executive board decided on to strip the Scot of his medal.
Prior to last season, Baxter, nicknamed the Highlander, had cut a less than remarkable career for more than a decade.
Baxter's skiing career has quite literally been a labour of love.
In order to pay his way around the sport's circuit he took any work on offer, the majority of it being odd jobs of the manual kind.
That was until he enjoyed the best ever finish by a British skier in 19 years during last season's World Cup campaign.
After struggling on the slopes for a number of years, Baxter made a number of changes.
He teamed up with Austrian coach Christian Schwaiger, got a new sponsor and changed his skis in an attempt to increase his speed.
In addition, he developed his technique to maximise a new style and worked on his fitness to help develop the physique of a slalom specialist.
The benefits were instant.
In a campaign during which he scored a point in every slalom race, Baxter came home fourth in Are, Sweden.
He had started the season hoping to break into the top 30, but finished it ranked 11th.
Then he claimed Britain's first ever Olympic medal in the sport.
Baxter, who splits his time between France, Cairngorm and the British Olympic Association's training centre in Austria, has excellent skiing credentials.
His half-brother Noel competes for Team GB, and his cousin, Lesley McKenna, was also at the Olympics for the snowboard half-pipe.
What is more, his parents named him after 1970s ski legend Alain Penz.
The Frenchman may have enjoyed great success during the formative years of the World Cup, but not even he could boast an Olympic medal.
Baxter did have that claim if only briefly before being stripped of his medal.

In this session, Stephen will introduce, discuss and give examples of CSS3 Regions.
Browsers have begun to introduce actual layout mechanisms like Flexible Box Layout and Grid/Template Layout. For this, we kneel humbly and are thankful. But while we're at it, why settle for rudimentary layout tools when we can add content flow to the mix? CSS Regions attempts to bring the power of content flow from print to the Web. Think of Regions as Multi-column layout on adrenaline. Regions can be extremely powerful and useful on their own. When combined with other CSS3 modules they will give web designers and developers creative freedom which rivals that of printed media.

Hampstead Lions Baseball
Hampstead Lions Baseball and Softball Association offers Baseball for boys & girls from the age of 5 -18. At the moment HLBSA doesn't use any logo and uses http://www.eteamz.com to host its website. As the company intends to develop a more professional image a new logo is required that will reflect the organization's name (lion theme) and which will build clear associations with baseball competitions for kids and teenagers.
The logo should be appealing to both parents interested in enlisting their kids to baseball teams and for the kids (aged 5 to 18) that will play in them.
- We are looking to combine a lion and baseball into a logo. The lion should be pretty serious looking. Not happy, not angry, the best word that can describe it would be "powerful".
- The logo should be separated from the brand's name. It has to stand on its own, it should be possible to easily use only the sign in marketing communication. Please submit versions with and without the brand name.
- The logo should have a completely professional look and feel.
- The logo should use red and black colors. Shades and gradients are acceptable (we don't have any preferences about solid colors vs gradients).
- We are open to any or all ideas and suggestions and the design that best address our requirements.
- please place your logos on white background, from now on entries on black (or any other color) background won't be considered. Thank you.

Naruto fans please read this, i think i have made a HUGE discovery!!
This is insane, i promise u all of this is true. what happened was i went to d-load naruto episodes 33-37, and i had started the d-load the day b4. so i saved it to a folder but it was the wrong folder, i then tried again but i kept the first bittorent box open. i got the right folder this time, and all of a sudden the bittorent that was on zero when to a download RATE OF 1500 kb/s, it was insane i downloaded the 700mb file in 8 minutes. and the other bittorent box's UPLOAD rate was around 1500kb/s!!! i think if u have 2 of the same file downloading at once u get it from urself and it just flies. try it out. it could save me like 20 hours.

So let me get this straight. You downloaded some naruto eps, saved to the wrong file, then redownloaded them to the file you wanted. At this point you got it from yourself at insane speeds. You do realize you could have just renamed the file once it finished, right? Also what's the point of downloading something you already have? If you don't have the file to begin with, it won't do anything since you don't have it. It could save some time if by some fluke each torrent downloads different parts of the file. In most cases it would make the file download slower since you're wasting bandwidth downloading the same parts twice. In other words it was probably a one time thing. The only use I can see for that is to impress people with your download speed. In any event this is probably in the wrong forum. It should probably be in one of the bittorrent discussions.
