It occurred to me at some point in "Anna Karenina" that every shot was like an extraordinary painting, no matter what was being depicted — a hand, a ribbon, a field, a face.
It occurred to me at some point in "Anna Karenina" that every shot was like an extraordinary painting.
No matter what was being depicted — a hand, a ribbon, a field, a face — or whether the camera was moving or stationary, the lighting, the colors, the composition made each shot a work of art in itself. I found myself anticipating what shot would come next. It didn't matter what it would be on the screen; I knew it would be remarkable.
I've never experienced a movie quite in that way before, though "Pride & Prejudice" certainly had a similar effect with its relentlessly beautiful visuals. It's no surprise that both "Anna Karenina" and "Pride & Prejudice" were made by the same director, Joe Wright, who also helmed the breathtaking "Atonement."
Clearly, Wright has found the right crews for these projects — cinematographers Roman Osin ("Pride & Prejudice") and Seamus McGarvey ("Atonement" and "Anna Karenina"), for instance. I'd place Wright's work alongside that of cinematic masters David Lean ("Lawrence of Arabia") and Zhang Yimou ("Hero") as among the most striking I've ever seen in terms of sheer beauty.
But "Anna Karenina," like "Pride & Prejudice" and "Atonement," offers so much more than lovely visuals. Wright, working with a screenplay by acclaimed playwright Tom Stoppard (an Oscar winner for the "Shakespeare in Love" script), adapts the classic Tolstoy romantic tragedy with bold innovation, intellectual depth and fiery passion. The result is the first bona-fide cinematic masterpiece I've seen so far this year.
Wright opens the film with a shot of the interior of a theater, which suddenly comes alive with characters on stage. The story has begun, and the theatrical element will continue to be emphasized, with characters sometimes leaving the stage and walking in the wings — filling in for, say, a dark street. It works, too, in emphasizing the artificiality of storytelling while showing that art, even when it's clearly art, can draw us in with the immediacy of real life.
Keira Knightley, Wright's star in "Pride & Prejudice" and "Atonement," plays the title character. She is the wife of a government minister, Karenin (Jude Law), with whom she has an 8-year-old son, in 1874 Imperial Russia. She is pursued by the young, handsome Count Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), a notorious lady's man, and, though she (rather weakly) resists at first, they begin a torrid affair. It could destroy her, but she can't stop herself.
A question posed early in the film is that whether, in the end, it's worse to say "I wish I hadn't" or "I wish I had." Do we follow our hearts, our desires, our passion, no matter the cost? Or do we contain, possibly suppress, such feelings based on certain parameters — social, moral, etc.? Where do we draw the line, and why?
These are questions most people probably face at some point in their lives, maybe at many points. Wright and Stoppard's "Anna Karenina" brilliantly explores them not only through the title character's situation but through another, much different, love story that runs parallel to hers (the less explained here, the less given away).
Wright's ability to draw outstanding performances matches his visual gifts, and there are many vivid, layered portrayals here. Knightley presents Anna as someone who regards her obsession with Vronsky with torment, resignation and joy. Law is reserved, yet clearly heartbroken, as the wronged husband whose concessions to his wife come not from weakness but, well, something else. Love? Compassion?
Taylor-Johnson's Vronsky comes across as a seemingly confident party boy who finds himself out of his depth. And, in supporting roles, Knightley's "P&P" costar Matthew Macfadyen is amusing (and barely recognizable in a mustache) as Anna's philandering brother, and Kelly Macdonald gives her usual first-rate performance as his exasperated wife.
Visually, "Anna Karenina" is like a trip to a top art museum. Emotionally and intellectually, it has the impact of great literature. Once you've experienced the film, you know it will stay with you. And you're so much the richer for it.

Much of the Muslim world has been roiled with anti-American demonstrations after word surfaced on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 about a film — made in the United States — that insults Islam's Prophet Muhammad. Riots broke out at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. In Libya later that night, the U.S. ambassador, Chris Stevens, and three of his staff members were killed during an attack on the consulate in Benghazi.
Three days later, anti-American protests spread from Morocco to Indonesia — and beyond. Even in Britain, some 250 demonstrators marched peacefully through London to the U.S. Embassy. In Sudan, rioters broke into the German Embassy and set part of it on fire.
The upheaval injected itself into the U.S. presidential race, which had been focused on the sour economy. Republican Mitt Romney lashed out at the Obama administration, saying its statements expressed sympathy for the protesters "instead of condemning their actions" in the diplomats' deaths. President Barack Obama responded, accusing Romney of shooting from the hip because the administration's statements came before the deadly attack.
The film, "Innocence of Muslims," depicts the prophet as a womanizer and a child molester. Muhammad is so revered by pious Muslims that they are not even allowed to draw an image of him.
Clips of the film were posted on YouTube,which blocked access to them in Egypt and Libya after the first demonstrations, and days later in India and Indonesia, but it was still accessible in other countries. "We work hard to create a community everyone can enjoy and which also enables people to express different opinions," YouTube said in a statement. "This can be a challenge because what's OK in one country can be offensive elsewhere."
Click ahead to see some of the fallout from this clash between the West's cherished freedom of expression and the Muslim world's insistence on respect for its traditions.

My cavy is 9 years old and was diagnosed with a mild sm a couple of years ago.
She has never scratched or shown any sign of pain, however she was diagnosed when i saw her have a small seizure which then left her legs very wobbly and couldn't jump like she did previous.
My vet did a mri scan and the sm was picked up.
Since then, her movement inproved back to normal, but today she is back at the vets as last night i noticed she couldnt walk properly again and jump.
It is like her right side isnt working properly. At the moment she takes frusomide 2 x aday and gabapentin 3 x aday.
I was wondering if anyone else experiences these same problems with there cavy.
She has never scratched like alot of cavys with sm it just seems to affect her balance and movement.
Also does the medication stop working over time ?
Will update with what my vet says.
Thanks sally

Most of you know that I love a good April Fool's day joke. I don't like those that hurt people, but I love good humor (ask me about the time my wife said she was going into labor and wasn't). You may remember my past years' pranks about the #HIT100 Health IT Company, the ONC Reality TV show, and my personal favorite where we announced we'd be selling our own EHR software. Good memories all around.
This year I've been busy organizing the Health IT Marketing and PR Conference, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy other people's work. I'm sure I've missed some of the great health IT related April Fool's day jokes, so let me know of others in the comments.
The big winner for April Fool's 2016 for me was SnapChart from Twine Health. You'll particularly enjoy it if you're a SnapChat user, but it's a great one either way. This video should demonstrate what I mean:
Well done Twine Health! I think even patient privacy advocates would appreciate SnapChart. "We all know that EHRs suck. Well this EHR only sucks for 7 seconds….BOOM"
Another honorable mention goes to Epic who has a long standing tradition of offering something entertaining on April Fool's Day:

Nice work by Epic to keep it topical with reference to Clinton and Sanders. However, the one that takes the cake is Jonathan Bush using MyChart. The only thing that would make me laugh more would be if athenahealth put out a video response from Jonathan Bush. Please?!

Although, when you look at what's happening with VR, maybe it will be more reality than we realize.
Gmail's Mic Drop is pretty funny. Well, at least it was until people starting losing their job because of it. The concept of a mic drop on email or social media is pretty interesting though. I wonder if there's a way you could really implement something like it.
What other April Fool's day jokes have you seen. It's Friday. We all need a good laugh.

It is almost impossible to

PLO, although a painstaking
historian like Barbara Puchman
might be able to find a parallel
with the Vehme, the medieval
precursor of the Nazis, which
sought to establish its own law in
disregart of the boundaries
dividing the principalities and
fiefdoms. The PLO is in fact a
supra-national organization
which professes to be a national
liberation movement.
IT HAS AN international
army with some elements, like es-
Saiq, either provided by or
controlled by a non-Palestinian
power. It is based on the territory
of other nations; it is well-armed
by the Soviet Union, and its
existence and presence are the
most serious military threat to
the regimes of a half dozen shaky
Arab oil dynasties. Not to be
forgotten is the war the PLO
waged (Black September) to
depose King Hussein in Jordan.
Still unresolved is the tradegy
of Lebanon where PLO forces,
supported by the Syrian Army,
destroyed the only democratic
regime in the Arab world and
reduced the country to anarchy.
Reinforcing the supra-national
character of PLO is its role as the

Terrorist Bombings Bring
Anger and Repudiation
By YITZHAK RABI
Israel's Ambassador to
the U.S. Ephraim Evron,
has sharply condemned the
bombings in Ramallah,
Nablus and Hebron,
declaring there was no
"justification whatsoever
for such heinous acts."
Kvron's remarks were made in
response to reporters' questions

where the Israeli envoy arrived
to address the 67th annual
meeting National Commission of
the Anti-Defamation League of
B'nai B'rith. The address itself
was closed to the press at
Kvron's request.
"WE ARE shocked by what
happened (in the West Bank),
and we condemn it in the
strongest term." the
Ambassador said. He expressed
hope the bombing, which
resulted in 13 casualties, will not
do "any harm to the peace

The Jewish Floridian of South County
We Condemn the Violence
We join the many Jewish organizations and
leaders across the nation and in Israel that condemn
the violence perpetrated against Arab residents on
the West Bank
The death of the yeshiva students in Hebron
last month was a tragedy that can not be forgotten.
But the bombing attacks on the Arab mayors do
not erase the tragedy, and they can not be forgiven.
Far from strengthening Israel's presence on the
West Bank, the violence only serves to weaken it.
Furthermore, when we condemn Palestinian
violence as bestial and unspeakable, we condemn all
violence. Condemnation of violence can not be
selective. It is a repudiation of inhuman behavior.
These assessments must hold true for the
Jewish extremists responsible for this week's at-
tacks, as well.
There will be those who are afraid to repudiate
the attacks on the basis that they were launched in
the cause of Israel's survival. We do not doubt the
extent of the danger to Israel's survival. Disaf-
fection with Israel's cause grows daily, especially in
Europe, whose revolting pragmatic politics brings
new anti-Israeli betrayals every day.
But the extremist bombings do not strengthen
Israel's cause. In our view, they weaken it. Israel's
survival must depend on other thingsparticularly
the iron determination not to submit to her am-
putation and even execution by demands from her
"friends" for never ending concessions.
At the very least, Israel must be as efficient in
ferreting out those responsible for this week's
violence as she has been in the past in her defense
against outside enemies. The enemies within,
Jewish though they may be, are no less dangerous.
Consulate for Miami
For a long time now, pressure has been
mounting for the establishment of an Israel Con-
sulate in Miami. We can understand the original
consular structure as established by the State of
Israel to represent its nationals and its interests in
the southeastern part of the United States.
But to continue not to have an Israel Consulate
in Miami seems to us to be a grievous omission. It
downgrades the efficiency and the cross-sectional
representation of Israel's consular corps.
It fails to take into account the phenomenal
growth of the Jewish community of South Florida
during the past 30 years, including its substantial
Israeli contingent, whose philanthropic and
organizational contributions to the Jewish State are
Until Miami has a full-fledged Israeli Cop jlate
here, both will suffer an unworthy and une >lain-
able dearth of diplomatic representational prest-nce.
Turning on the Tears
There seems to be a flood of crocodile tears by
West Bank And Gaza Strip leaders over the
resignation of Ezer Weizman as Israel's Defense
Minister. It was a 'major loss for mutual un-
derstanding between Jews and Arabs." they
moaned. Others expressed the fear that the
moderate viewpoint would no longer be heard in the
A similar display took place when Moshe
Dayan resigned as Foreign Minister last year. It is
probably true that Dayan and Weizman, both
sabras, had more rapport with Arabs than their
Cabinet colleagues. But aside from whatever had
been said privately, what support have West Bank
and Gaza leaders given the "moderate" viewpoint in

'Tin Drum'Marches to Fearful Tune
ONE WEEKEND evening
almost a year ago, I stepped into
a Munich theatre to see a movie
called Tin Drum. Now, the movie
is making the rounds here in
South Florida, and I have gone to
see it again.
It is even better the second
time around. The film is based on
the 71m Drum by the German
novelist, Gunter Grass, whom I
consider one of the foremost
literary artists in the world
today. The book is part of a
trilogy, which includes Hun-
dejahre ("Dog Years") and Katz
und Maus ("Cat and Mouse").
The trilogy documents the af-
termath of World War I as it led
to the Hitler madness and then
the aftermath of that madness
following the destruction of
Hitler's Thousand-Year Reich.
Tin Drum is the work of the
director, Volker Schlondorff,
which won an Oscar for the best
foreign-language film of the year.
But Oscars are misleading. Too
often, they praise pap, although
not in this case. Award-winner or
not, the film's excellence speaks
for itself.
IT IS ONLY a coincidence that
the "hero" of the novel, if such he
be, is also called Oskar, a tyke of
five or six years of age when the
Nazis begin to strut their stuff-
As in his other novels in this
trilogy. Grass uses Danzig as the
setting for his work, the free
Polish city which, together with
Memel. constituted the twin
poles of the Polish corridor, and
which Hitler annexed coin-
cidentally with his attack on
Warsaw to launch World War II.
For Grass, Danzig is symbolic
a microcosm of east and west
and, in a larger sense of global
mankind, at least as global as our
sensibilities permitted us to see
things before the post-war rise of
the Third World to enlarge our
view of the realities of this planet
called Earth.
IT WAS in Danzig that
Germans and Poles lived side-by-
side in an uneasy cultural and
political relationship. It was
Danzig that, as a free city, had to
survive in its integrity if
mankind itself was to survive.
But Danzig falls to the Nazi
beast, and mankind falls with it
because mankind, since the birth
of Oskar in 1924, has refused to
take a stand against the beast.
The fall of the city is hence the
fall of man himself in punishment
for his profound moral lapse.
The date of Oskar's birth is, of
course, patently significant, for it
was on February 24, 1924 that
the trial began of the leaders of
the Hitler Putsch in Munich,

This analysis was presented

contemporary Jewry and
Russian Studies at the Hebrew
Jniversity and a visiting
professor of history at the
|University of Michigan.
MENDELSSOHN was one of
(several guest speakers at the

Istatus of Jews in the USSR and
[the impact of anti-Semitism. The
[forum, held at New York's

Speaking to about 150 people.
Mendelssohn presented an
historical perspective of Czarist
and Soviet anti-Semitism. Under
the Czars, although conditions
were favorable for "collective
Jewish expression." tolerance for
individual Jews was very low as
they were perceived as an "alien
element in backward peasant
society." he said.
Jews also found themselves in
the middle of intense nationalist
competition, especially in the
Ukraine, "the hotbed of anti-
Semitism in the pre-World War I
period," which led to both social
and religious anti-Semitism.
Also. Mendelssohn observed,
during the late 19th and early
20th centuries. Russia was going
through great political and social
flux a condition never con-
sidered conducive for minority
advancement and or ac-

positions of authority. Class
loyalty was the important factor,
and anyone, regardless of
religion, who exemplified this
loyalty was favored, he said.
According to Mendelssohn,
this favorable treatment of "loyal
Jews," which allowed them to
assume positions of influence and
stature in the community, began
to be resented and the Soviets
feared a takeover by these newly
emancipated Jews.

Sunday's Cabinet session was
marked by sharp exchanges be-
tween Sharon and Begin.
Sharon, a Yom Kippur War hero
and the Cabinet's most out-
spoken hawk, claimed that if
Shamir became Defense Minister
and Modai Foreign Minister,
Begin would have "abandoned
the security of Israel."
Begin retorted thai he did not

Begin himself threatened to

Cabinet crisis is resolved, he
changed his mind.
He reportedly told the NRP
members that if he quit now,
bringing down the Likud
government, the next govern-
ment might be headed by the
Labor Alignment which could
mean, according to Begin,
handing the West Bank over to
the Arabs to form a Palestinian
state. "My hands will not spill
this blood," he said. Meanwhile,
the Labor Party charged the
Begin government with en-
dangering national security.
"The security and the very exis-
tence of the State have become
toys in the hands of a quarrel-

the Labor Party said over the
weekend. "It is not a matter of
conflict between the opposition
and the government but real

What I Did Before Law School:
I worked as a research assistant at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
Why I Chose Penn Law:
I chose Penn Law because it stands among the leading law schools in the United States. This program is exceptional because it gives you the chance to be taught by scholars recognized throughout the world on one of the most beautiful Ivy League campus. At the same time, you learn in a very cordial community. In the same way, the opportunity to take graduate courses in any department of the University of Pennsylvania, such as Wharton, makes this school incredibly attractive.
Professor Who Influenced Me Most:
Professor Stephen Burbank was my civil procedure professor, and I also worked for him as a research assistant. He is probably one of the very best scholars of civil procedure in the United States, his knowledge in comparative law is amazing and, at the same time, he is extremely accessible and sympathetic.
My Favorite Course:
My favorite course was Negotiation and Persuasion. It was a great opportunity to study something totally new after having studied law for many years.
My Favorite Philadelphia Moment:
Philly is incredibly livable, ideally located between New York and Washington, DC.
What I'm Most Proud Of:
I am especially proud of being a part of such a community.
My Favorite Place or Activity on the University Campus:
My favorite place is Locust Walk in spring, the heart of the campus.

It would work best for everyone involved if Wesley Sneijder left Internazionale in January. He said so himself.
"Clearly it's best for everyone concerned that in January I am transferred," Sneijder said at a Monday press conference. "If that doesn't happen then I will stay. I have a contract with Inter until 2015."
That contract, shelling out a Serie A-high 6 million euros a year, is the brunt of the problem. Inter nearly doubled the Dutch midfielder's wages (from 3.5 million euros) in 2010 after Sneijder helped orchestrate the treble under Jose Mourinho and scored five goals as the Netherlands advanced to the World Cup final.
Instead of rewarding a key component of the squad, the deal instead anchored Inter down with a tactically inflexible and injury prone player.
Sneijder is clearly gifted. His ability to link an athletic, but agricultural, midfield with an erstwhile isolated yet potent attack completed Mourinho's Inter. He quickly became the most important piece, with the rest of the formation designed around him in a narrow 4-3-1-2.
Since Mourinho's departure, however, Sneijder has failed to fit into the tactical systems of replacement coaches. Rafael Benitez, Leonardo, Gian Piero Gasperini and Claudio Ranieri all attempted and failed to supply Sneijder adequate midfield support without becoming one-dimensional.
Andrea Stramaccioni has best used Sneijder of any of the Inter coaches, but the young boss tends to shift formations frequently enough so that the team doesn't rely on the 28-year-old's presence. Good thing, too: Since 2010, Sneijder has missed more than half of Inter's games through injury.
He last limped out of a game on Sept. 26 against Chievo with a muscle tear. He flew to Los Angeles for treatment, and tweeted about it. Upon his return, club directors pulled him aside. One part of the talk involved reiterating the club's social media policy.
"My husband cannot write on Twitter," his wife, Yolanthe, tweeted on Nov. 9. "It's the club's decision. Strange, because only Wes is not allowed to tweet. I am sad because he always gives his all for the team."
The other, much more crucial part of the talk involved Sneijder's contract. Inter wants to pay him the same amount, but extend his current deal from 2015 to 2017. In essence, he would sign a contract extension but accept a 33 percent pay cut, down to 4 million euros a year.
In addition, Inter made it clear that Sneijder won't play until he signs.
"The situation with Sneijder – who is a part of our history and a player for whom we all wish the best – is that we have been talking for some time about an eventual, necessary change to his contract," technical director Marco Branca previously told reporters. "We want to give the player and his staff all the time they need to assess the terms of our proposal.
"And so the technical decision of our club is to not use the player at this time. It has been taken so as to achieve the maximum calm and clarity. Among other things this will allow our manager to give more room to our other players."
Inter needs Sneijder to leave this month not only to save money but because it is on shaky legal ground. Back in 2010, Inter picked up Goran Pandev on a free transfer after the forward successfully sued Lazio for freezing him out over a contract dispute. The longer this drags out, the worse for both parties. Inter already moved on the hefty contracts of Lucio, Maicon and Julio Cesar last summer. Samuel Eto'o departed a year prior.
Sneijder will likely have to accept a step down – either in salary or in level of competition. Reports from Britain suggest that several Premier League clubs have already balked at his wage demands. Because of his tactical limitations, Tottenham would present one of the more snug fits. However, "There is nothing, absolutely nothing true about that," his agent told Dutch paper Algemeen Dagblad about the alleged Spurs interest.
And Liverpool? "Again, no truth," Sneijder said Monday.
Other links include joining Eto'o in Russia or across town to Milan should Alexandre Pato and Robinho make their ways to Brazil.
Sneijder has less than a month to sort through the potential destinations, pick one and move on out.

An argument inside a Butler apartment Wednesday afternoon ended with one man stabbed in the back with a steak knife, authorities said.
But the alleged attacker was gone by the time city police got to the home in the 200 block of North Elm Street.
John Patrick Conley III, 25, who has no address and was staying at the apartment, is charged with attempted homicide and aggravated assault in the altercation about 5:20 p.m.
The victim, 34-year-old Jessie Markovitz of Butler, was taken Butler Memorial Hospital where he was treated and released, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Police believe that Markovitz and one of the tenants were in the bathroom talking when Conley began kicking the door and demanding that Markovitz come out.
There were several other people at the home at the time, according to investigators.
Markovitz was barely out the door when Conley attacked him in the upper back with the 5-inch bladed knife, said police Capt. David Dalcamo.
Another man at the apartment stepped in and broke up the altercation.
Markovitz managed to make it to an apartment building in the 300 block of East Brady Street about 100 yards away, police said. A woman there notified authorities that Markovitz had been stabbed.
Conley fled but that night spoke to police by telephone. He agreed to appear at the police station for questioning at 8 a.m. today.
But by 8:15 a.m., he still had not shown up, Dalcamo said. An arrest warrant was to be issued.
Meanwhile, Conley already was free on bail while awaiting trial on misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a New Year's Day domestic dispute in Butler Township.

MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. – Elton Coffield (Williamston, N.C./Williamston HS) scored a game-high 27 points to lead regionally second-ranked Mount Olive to a 68-43 victory over Coker in Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference men's basketball Thursday at College Hall. The win is the Trojans' ninth in their last 10 games and 16th in their last 18 contests.
Mount Olive (18-3 overall, 12-2 CVAC) held Coker to one field goal over a span of more than nine minutes Coffield scored 12 points during a 19-3 run as his steal and one-handed dunk gave the Trojans a 24-8 lead with 8:24 remaining in the half. Coker (6-14, 4-9) cut the lead to 10 as Johnny Jackson scored eight straight points for the Cobras in the final five minutes. Coffield's third three-pointer of the half and Sharome Holloway's ( Phoenix , Ariz./South Mountain CC) basket with nine seconds left in the half gave the Trojans a 14-point lead, but Michael Pierce's 15-footer rimmed in at the buzzer to pull Coker within 35-23 at the half.
Coker scored the first two buckets of the second half to close the gap to eight points, but Melvin Creddle (Newark, N.J./Cisco Junior College) and Coffield hit two free throws apiece to spark an 8-0 run and Coker never got any closer than 12 points the rest of the way. Coffield scored his final points of the game on a three-point play with 3:18 remaining to give the Trojans a 66-41 lead, matching the final margin for the Trojans' biggest lead.
Coffield went 8-for-12 from the field, including 4-for-5 from three-point range. He was 7-for-7 from the free throw line and added four rebounds, three steals and two blocked shots. Creddle finished with 11 points for the Trojans, while Holloway added 10 points and a game-high eight rebounds.
Jason Fulwood led Coker with 13 points, while Jackson finished with 10 points for the Cobras. Coker, which hit 20-of-36 three-pointers in Monday's overtime win against Erskine, was 6-for-24 from three-point range Thursday against the Trojans.
The win comes one day after Mount Olive jumped three places to No. 2 in this week's NCAA Division II East Region Poll. The Trojans remain a game behind regionally top-ranked and conference leader Pfeiffer in the CVAC standings. Pfeiffer defeated Barton 92-77 Thursday.
Mount Olive returns to action Saturday as the Trojans travel to Banner Elk, N.C., to face Lees-McRae in a CVAC match-up. Tip-off is 4 p.m. Coker plays host to Belmont Abbey Saturday at 4 p.m. in CVAC action.

Breastfeeding Toddlers
Barbara Higham Ilkley
West Yorkshire, Great Britain
From: NEW BEGINNINGS, Vol. 23 No. 3, May-June 2006, pp. 100-105.
Although it may seem out of the ordinary in some cultures, during most periods of history and in most parts of the world babies have been breastfed for years rather than months (Mead and Newton 1967). In much of the world today, weaning doesn't occur until at least two years of age (Bengson 1999). The World Health Organization's infant-feeding recommendation as stated in the Global Strategy on Infant and Young Child Feeding states:
As a global public health recommendation, infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life to achieve optimal growth, development and health. Thereafter, to meet their evolving nutritional requirements, infants should receive nutritionally adequate and safe complementary foods while breastfeeding continues for up to two years of age or beyond. Exclusive breastfeeding from birth is possible except for a few medical conditions, and unrestricted exclusive breastfeeding results in ample milk production.
A breastfed baby is dependent on his mother for both food and comfort. This may frighten people in cultures that place a high value on self-sufficiency. A breastfed baby will not be satisfied with anyone other than his mother, and therefore may be regarded by some as a liability, when in fact, a baby simply knows what he needs for his own good.
Some cultures fear that continuing to breastfeed until a child weans on his own will make him more dependent on his mother. Instead of viewing extended nursing as something to question, perhaps the real query should be, "What is there to be gained by abruptly putting an end to the breastfeeding relationship?" It's interesting that some people think that a child won't grow out of breastfeeding unless he is forced. In reality, it's a natural process for children to outgrow breastfeeding on their own. Independence, not dependence, is one outstanding trait that breastfed children who self-wean have in common (Ferguson 1987).
Natural weaning allows for differences in children by letting them grow at their own pace. Independence can't be forced upon a child before he is ready to assume it. A child who weans gradually is able to maintain his emotional attachment to his mother, rather than being forced to switch to an inanimate object such as a cuddly toy or blanket. I can vouch for this; I speak from personal experience.
My Story, Part 1
In 1998 when my first son, Felix, was born, I was determined to breastfeed him. It was an uphill struggle in which my perseverance eventually paid off. When we reached the six-month mark, it seemed as though we'd only just got into the swing of things. To my surprise, I was enjoying my new social circle of mums and babies and getting out and about with a breastfeeding baby was surprisingly simple. But I hadn't realized just how helpless and dependent a six-month-old baby was. We certainly couldn't have managed life easily without breastfeeding.
When Felix celebrated his first birthday, he still clearly exhibited a need to breastfeed even though he was eating several meals a day. He didn't like cows' milk and my milk was readily available. Nursing was quick and easy and had become a natural part of mothering to me. There seemed to be no need to stop just yet.
Of course, there were some ups and downs with nursing into toddlerhood. There were times when I felt judged by others for whom breastfeeding had been more of a fleeting experience or from those who couldn't appreciate my child's need to be nursed to sleep. Breastfeeding an older child can be an isolating experience (especially if you haven't discovered the existence of La Leche League, as I hadn't then). I was fortunate to have a supportive partner who appreciated the importance of breastfeeding. He also valued a good night's sleep, which can be something of a boon for the father of a breastfed child.
Handling Criticism
Understandably, some mothers find it difficult to deal with pressure to wean, whether that pressure comes from family, friends, or complete strangers. Choosing to do things differently than other mothers who initiate weaning after a few months calls for courage, self-assurance, and a good support system. Katherine Dettwyler, anthropologist, states that major contributors to premature weaning are cultural. Early weaning often occurs in cultures that promote breastfeeding as mainly nutrition for infants, view breasts as sexual objects, and don't accept nursing in public. Get support where ever you can find it -- ideally, it will come from your partner, family, and friends. Naturally, La Leche League meetings are a great source of support and encouragement, too!
If you find yourself facing criticism from people close to you, keep in mind that they are most likely voicing their opinions out of concern and based on their own experiences. If the person expressing doubt is your partner, listen to what he has to say carefully and thoughtfully. Acknowledge his concerns, acknowledge your personal concerns about doing what is best for your child, and express any doubts you may have. This may help him realize how much you've thought about your decision to continue breastfeeding your child.
If you're facing criticism from family members or friends, remember that they may simply be uninformed about the benefits of extended breastfeeding or perhaps they feel guilt about their own parenting choices. Consider responding to unwelcome comments by:
Ignoring: walking away or changing the subject.
Informing: sharing books, articles, or a medical professional's thoughts on extended nursing.
Using Humor: making a joke about the situation or yourself, not the other person.
Acknowledging: recognizing the person's viewpoint and asking further questions without agreeing or disagreeing
Empathizing: being empathetic to demonstrate that you understand the other person's feeling and meaning (Vakiener 1999).
Breastfeeding in Public
With young babies, it's much easier to be inconspicuous while nursing in public or around others. Toddlers, on the other hand, can choose some pretty awkward situations to decide they want to nurse. A lot of mothers have found themselves in situations where their toddler has lifted their shirt or demanded "boobie" on the spot.
Before going out on the town with your nursing toddler, be aware when choosing your wardrobe. Does your top have fasteners, zippers, or clasps that your child has recently discovered how to operate? You might want to consider not wearing these items out of the house for a while! In MOTHERING YOUR NURSING TODDLER, author Norma Jane Bumgarner writes:
It can be cute when little Lucy asks for "titty" or "boobie juice" at home. Think, however, whether you are comfortable having her make the same request with perfect pronunciation at the supermarket....This is not to say that your nursing relationship must be secret or that there is anything wrong with any term whatsoever that you may want to use for nursing. I just want to alert you to the fact that the word you use in the first or second year will usually the word your child continues to use, and the pronunciation will become increasingly distinct.
Setting Limits
Sometimes a mother may feel "touched out" or manipulated and long to have her body back to herself. Perhaps she is burned-out or overwhelmed and is seeking ways to gain back some control through weaning. As author Diane Bengson states in HOW WEANING HAPPENS, these feelings are common, and the intensity comes and goes. Some mothers choose to continue breastfeeding and work through the negative feelings by finding ways to satisfy their own needs.
If you are experiencing challenges or negative feelings about nursing your toddler, consider using your child's naptime for an activity that you enjoy. Reading, working on a project, or volunteering can all be stress relievers. Even just getting out of the house for a while will brighten your mood. If possible, plan a regular event where your partner (or other trusted person) stays with your child while you enjoy a few hours out on your own.
Breastfeeding a toddler is not something a mother does on demand in the same way she would nurse a newborn. Rather, toddler nursing is a two-way relationship. Mothers can and do choose to examine their own comfort levels and impose restrictions on an older child. As Hilary Flower, author of ADVENTURES IN TANDEM NURSING, says, "Setting limits that take your own feelings into account can keep breastfeeding positive....A gentle 'No' when nursing feels wrong creates the possibility of a clear 'Yes' for a session when you are truly up for it. Taking your own feelings seriously and allowing yourself to freely choose when to offer breastfeeding can maintain the openness of breastfeeding for both you and your nursling."
Limits range from disallowing your child to fiddle with your body while nursing, dropping some feedings, and going longer between feedings. Cutting down on the number or length of feeds can be done gently and gradually, progressing with the child's readiness to defer breastfeeding or be distracted with other things and is easily reversible if the pace is moving too fast for a child. Weaning is not an "all or nothing" act.
"Your child needs generosity from you, but just as much, your child needs you to honor your bottom-line limits. Particularly if nursing is for comfort, the emotional quality of the exchange is of great importance" (Flower 2004).
My Story, Part 2
There were times when I experienced my share of embarrassment in front of others at my verbal child's requests for nursing. It made me glad that -- most of the time -- my son used a code word for nursing. When he requested "niktoo," no one else knew what he meant!
There were definitely moments when I wanted my own space, too. What had once been special quiet nursing sessions with my baby during the night became what felt like uncomfortable, tiring maulings. Once I became pregnant again, my son's nipple twiddling, which used to be mildly irritating on occasion, became excruciating for me. By the time my belly had swelled I felt there was no longer room for this large child in our bed and gradually initiated weaning. At first it seemed impossible because continued breastfeeding was a vital tool in easing the transition from waking to sleeping at naps and bedtimes. But with time, routines including bedtime stories and cuddles took the place of nursing sessions. There were a few occasions when Felix asked to nurse, but I was able to distract him. I have no recollection of the last time he breastfed because it was something that slowed down and he left off doing.
When I was pregnant with my third child, Amelia, and nursing my second son, who was three, I was again physically uncomfortable breastfeeding and keen to introduce restrictions. Edgar, however, was not to be put off with stories and cuddles and I struggled with my feelings. At times (in the night, especially) I wanted to push him away. The only thing that made his night nursing acceptable was to restrict it by telling him it was hurting me and that he would have to stop after I had counted to 60!
Edgar did gradually cut back his nursing sessions and although at four years old he still asks for milk most days, he only has a token suck that lasts about 30 seconds. I'm glad that I didn't wean him abruptly (though I have encouraged him to cut back) because I've avoided having to cope with an unhappy child resisting my efforts to wean him. As stated by Diane Bengson, "Often [the process of weaning] is a matter of waiting while a child matures."
Advantages for Mother
Parenting is an exhausting business. When a mother says how tired or stressed she is, some people may point to breastfeeding as the culprit. In reality, there are many benefits of extended nursing to mothers, some of which include:
Stress relieving qualities: Breast-feeding suppresses the nervous system's hormonal response to stress, which is why many mothers recognize that they feel calmer and better able to cope with whatever comes along while nursing.
A few guaranteed calm moments in a day: Parenting can be hectic. Toddlers are bursting with energy and find a lot of interesting things to keep them busy. There are times -- however brief -- when a mother can count on breastfeeding to provide soothing quality time to calm an upset toddler or to reconnect and bond with her child.
Decreased risk of diseases: One study found a decreased risk of breast cancer among breastfeeding mothers, with the greatest risk reduction seen in women whose total amount of breastfeeding for one or more children totals several years (Collaborative Group on Hormonal Factors in Breast Cancer 2002). A mother's risk of osteoporosis (and other diseases) is also reduced by extended breastfeeding (Gwinn et al. 1990; Hartge et al. 1989; Rosenblatt, Thomas, and WHO 1993).
Amenorrhea: The amount of natural infertility experienced while breastfeeding is known as lactational amenorrhea. Many mothers experience reduced fertility when nursing past a year, with some women going as long as two years or more without menstruating.
Even after the time during which nursing alone is a reliable contraceptive has passed, many mothers continue to enjoy freedom from menstruation and from the physical and emotional effects of ovulation and menstruation" (Bumgarner 2000).
Advantages for Toddlers
Human milk is the primary source of nutrition during a baby's first year. It becomes a supplement to solids during the second year, but it maintains nutritional value, as well emotional benefits for toddlers.
Immune system: It takes between two and six years for a child's immune system to fully mature. Human milk continues to complement and boost the immune system for as long as it is offered (AAP 1997; Goldman 1983; Gulick 1986; Mohrbacher and Stock 2003; Saarinen 1982). Research on the incidence of illness in breastfed or weaned toddlers reflects these dynamics. Breastfeeding toddlers between 16 and 30 months old have been found to have fewer types and shorter duration of illness and to require less medical care than their non-breastfeeding peers (Gulick 1986).
Oral development: Breastfeeding provides a natural outlet for non-nutritive sucking that promotes proper oral development, which has been found to improve speech (Davis 1991; Labbok and Hendershot 1987; Broad and Duganzich 1983).
IQ score: Extensive research on the relationship between cognitive achievement (IQ scores, grades in school) and breastfeeding has shown the greatest gains for those children breastfed the longest (van den Bogaard 1991).
Independence: The process that children go through while growing toward independence is a difficult one. Breastfeeding can provide feelings of love, comfort, and protection. When a mother makes herself available to nurse her child through a situation that he can't handle alone, he will likely develop independence based on faith that mother will be there to help. As a child gets older, there are fewer and fewer such situations. Provided a child isn't prevented from exercising his developing capabilities, independence comes with his increasing competence (Bumgarner 2000).
Self-Esteem: Babies and young children nurse when they are lonely, frightened, or in pain and responsive mothering through breastfeeding leads to enhanced bonding. Allowing a toddler to nurse (or wean) at his own pace is an expression of trust that contributes to his self-esteem.
My Story, Part 3
Once Felix was in "big boy's" shoes he was a bit more of an acrobat during our breastfeeding sessions, but he was obviously still a baby. When he tumbled over and hurt himself and cried, offering the breast was so much more efficient than rocking or soothing with other methods. A few minutes of nursing worked wonders no matter what the upset was.
By the time he reached his second birthday, Felix was steadier on his feet but emotionally still a bit wobbly. Nursing was a great way to calm a fractious, tired, or over-stimulated toddler, and it soothed me, too! As time went by -- he was three before I knew it -- breastfeeding had become something familiar in a world so full of new experiences. It was special for both of us: a way of connecting, relaxing, drifting to sleep, forgiving, reconnecting after separations, and a way of grounding. Breastfeeding was a source of comfort and nourishment when Felix was ill and could take no other food. As stated in a handout by Canadian pediatrician and breastfeeding expert Dr. Jack Newman (can be downloaded from www.drjacknewman.com), "The mother comforts the sick child with breastfeeding, and the child comforts the mother by breastfeeding."
I've been able to enjoy these benefits of extended breastfeeding with my second born, Edgar, too. I look forward to extended breastfeeding with my daughter, Amelia, who is eight months old.
At La Leche League meetings, I found the support of other mothers who understand that it's both normal and healthy for toddlers to sustain breastfeeding, but also that a child moves on from breastfeeding and can use his mother's help to do so. Weaning is a gradual process that starts the moment a baby is introduced to solids and follows a unique timetable that is set by a child and his mother.
There are no prizes to be won for breastfeeding the longest -- all mothers and babies are different. Ideally the nursing relationship continues until the child outgrows the need.

What if my doctor suggests weaning?
If a physician suggests weaning, it's important to note the context in which it is said. It can be helpful to ask what dangers he or she sees in continuing to nurse, and what documented evidence this is based on. It can also be helpful to let the doctor know how important breastfeeding is to you and your baby.
Some mothers continue to nurse without telling their doctor; some mothers choose to tell their doctor they see no reason to wean now and ask for their support; some mothers prefer to find a more supportive doctor; some choose to share information and research on extended breastfeeding with their physician. Ideally, you and your doctor or other health care provider will find ways to work together to best meet your baby's needs, even if this means the two of you must agree to disagree.

Behind the Cloak of Polygamy:
Ms. asks what really goes on in fundamentalist-Mormon cults
like the Yearning for Zion ranch in Texas
As a grand jury in Texas investigates reports of child abuse at the Yearning for Zion ranch near El Dorado , the summer issue of Ms. magazine-on newsstands 7/29/08 -features a cutting look at fundamentalist cults.
According to writer Andrea Moore-Emmett, an expert in polygamy cults and author of the book God's Brothel , women and children in cults face complete servitude to husbands and fathers, arranged marriages for young girls, incest, violence and hard labor. Claims of religious and parental rights, says the author, can be a cloak for abusive and criminal behavior-and those rights must sometimes be outweighed by the need to protect women and children.
Moore-Emmett has interviewed dozens of women, adolescents, children and men who formerly lived or are currently living in fundamentalist Mormon and polygamous Christian families. "It's hard to explain to someone what it feels like to be enslaved," said one of her interviewees.
Note to editors: Author Andrea Moore-Emmett is available for interviews.

But for many he is synonymous with the event, for the drama and rollercoaster ride he gave his many fans for the best part of two decades.
White turned 50 today. It doesn't seem that long since he was the pale-faced kid with a shot-making genius which rivalled that of his great friend Alex Higgins and the common touch which made him effortlessly popular with a generation of snooker fans.
The teenage White bunked off school to play snooker and his head teacher eventually condoned his truancy on the basis that at least he knew where he was.
White's talent was obvious and he became English amateur champion at 16 and world amateur champion at 18.
In his first season as a professional in 1981 he qualified for the Crucible, losing only 10-8 to Steve Davis.
The following year he played what remains one of the Crucible's greatest ever matches, poised for a place in the final at the age of 20 when he led Alex Higgins 15-14 and 59-0.
But Higgins produced a miracle match saving clearance and won the decider too to deny White.
Many felt it would only be a matter of time until the man nicknamed the Whirlwind won the biggest title of them all but it wasn't to be.
He came back strongly from 12-4 down to Davis in the 1984 final but was beaten 18-16.
It took White six years to reach another world final where the ultra attacking game he had pioneered and Stephen Hendry taken to another level was apparent by the speed of their match - average frame time 12 minutes.
Hendry won that one 18-12. In 1992 he came from 14-8 down to beat White 18-14. In 1993 he drubbed him 18-5 with a session to spare.
Then in 1994, the biggest sickener of all, when White snatched at a black at 17-17. Hendry, of course, cleared up again.
White had also lost to John Parrott 18-11 in 1991. There were to be no more finals, although he did gain a satisfying 10-4 first round victory over Hendry in 1998.
It would be wrong to define White purely by his six world final defeats.
He won the Masters in 1984. He was UK champion in 1992. He made a Crucible 147 earlier that year.
He won ten world ranking titles, including the 2004 Players Championship at the age of 41.
But more than all of that, he provided his vast array of supporters with an emotional connection to snooker. It wasn't about pure results, it was about the journey. It was about Jimmy.
White would never claim to have been a model professional. He had those essential flaws associated with the truly gifted. Maybe if he could he would go back in time and change the way he prepared for tournaments. But he can't. All he can do is look forward, and he does because he isn't finished with snooker yet.
He is still very popular on the exhibition circuit and of course he is still playing on the main tour. He practises hard and still loves the game as much as ever.
Snooker should raise a glass to Jimmy White on his 50th birthday. He remains one of the game's greatest characters: an irrepressible working class hero whose tumultuous thrill-ride through the decades has kept many a fan coming back for more.

Got to feel for Jimmy. I'm sure if it were not for Hendry's retirement this would be the story of the day with a load of montages thrown in, but I haven't heard it mentioned as yet. Overshadowed by his nemesis once again.

Hear hear,Jimmy has thrilled many a fan with his flamboyant,attacking snooker,and gave his army of fans a rollercoaster every match at his peak.We felt every shot with him.If only more players were cut from his cloth.How come so many of todays players never bother with the flair shots when the frame is won? Some players look like any flamboyancy would kill them! Happy birthday Jimmy,and thanks for the memories!

Should be "Crucible 147", although everyone reading this can surely fill the blank.
Also, Jimmy White deserves praise for being very open about his (thankfully gone) cancer problems. I remember reading his account once and it was really impressive: he used his public status to show how it should be dealt with and that potential shame about it (which he experienced in his case) cannot and must not be an issue. It was truly brave and classy.

Hi David.
Stat Of The Day - Jimmy White, was born on 2-5-1962. Today, is hios 50th birthday. Happy 50th birthday to him.
Another great day's play, in my view.
Stevens .V. Day - session 3- from 11-5 up, Stevens won 2 in a row, to win, 13-5. He had been 5-2 down, so he won, 11 in a row.
Carter .V. Jones - Session 2. From 5-3 down, Jones did great, to level at 6-all. Two Jones century breaks, include. Carter, did well, to lead, 9-7.
Session 3 - Carter increased his 9-7 lead, to 12-8. Jones fought back, 12-11. Carter won, 13-11.
A great thing, considering Stephen Hendry was not playing today, having lost, 13-2, to Stephen Maguire, yesterday, that he walked out, infront of a packed crowd,, and got a standing ovation, not just from them, but also, from me wacthing,and recording it, from home. I got emotional, aswell.
O'Sullivan .V. Robertson - Sesion 2- With sublime play, and Robertson errors, O'sullivan, turned his 5-3, over-night deficit, into a 9-5 lead. Robertson did well, to make it 9-7.
Session 3 - Robertson won the first frame, in the session. Three in a row, for Robertson. 9-8. O'Sullivan, more than impressive, playing-wise, to lead, 12-8. Robertson fought back. 12-10. O'Sullivan wins, 13-10.
I can not wait for tomorrow. The Semi's. The one table Crucible set-up. Fantastic.
O'Sullivan .V. Stevens , and, Maguire .V. Carter. I can not wait. Bring it on.
I am sure, Jimmy White, will be loving watching it, aswell. Six times, a Crucible finalists, U.K., and Masters champion. Great player. Great man. Happy 50th birthday, to Jimmy 'WHILWIND' White.
Role on, tomorrow.

Davis had his Crucible senior fairy tale two years ago. Perhaps White has one more WC qualification in him... Let's wait 11½ months and cross our fingers.

overshadowed by a better player and by a guy who abides the law

id imagine players these days dont go for as many flair shots as jimmy as:
they want to keep hot and stay in stoke by clearing all the balls and stop their opponent coming to the table
dont want to risk damaging their tip by becoming peanut performing monkeys for a few seconds.
theyre just different. thats why snooker is fascinating. if everyone did flair shots every frame youd soon get bored of it, trust me. because theyre good to watch and in a minority theyre fun, but if it happened every frame for 8 shots or so, nobody would be smiling after watching them all for years.
