The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that infants obtain all of their nutritional requirements solely from breast milk for the first six months of their lives. After that age, the WHO suggests to continue breastfeeding until the child is at least 2 years old while introducing other foods into his or her diet.
Why is breast milk and breastfeeding the preferred choice?
Essentially, breast milk offers many nutrients that help “protect against infections and reduce the rates of later health problems including diabetes, obesity, and asthma” says the APA, adding that the act of breastfeeding itself offers benefits too. It helps stop the bleeding after delivery, reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancers, and strengthens the mother-child bond.
That’s why many health experts are so intent on making sure a mother has access to adequate care during the breastfeeding process. In order for her baby to get the proper nutrients through breast milk, the mother must get them first so she is able to pass them down.
But what happens if the breastfeeding mother ingests other substances? More specifically, what is the effect of various drugs—both legal and illegal—on lactation and breast milk?
Because nutrients in the breast milk come from the nutrients consumed by the mother, the same can be said about any other substances she ingests. Simply put: if a mother puts drugs of any kind in her body, they’re likely to be passed along to the nursing baby.
Therefore, specific recommendations exist regarding each drug—some of them legal and some of them illegal—and its consumption by a breastfeeding mother. Let’s go through a few of the most common now.
Caffeine provides a lot of benefits. According to Michigan State University, these include protection of brain cells, reduced risk of gallstones, prevention of various heart illnesses, and the ability to relieve headaches. But what does it do to breast milk?
Research has discovered that peak concentrations of the caffeine within the breast milk occur 60 minutes after ingesting it. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) also says that less than 1 percent will transfer to breast milk.
Because this amount is so low, the AAP states that consuming caffeine is okay while breastfeeding, though this organization does recommend that it be consumed in moderation. If you spread your intake over the entire day, that helps as well.
However, if you notice that your baby is irritable or fussy, the AAP suggests that you try cutting down on your caffeine to see if that helps. This may involve limiting it for one hour before feedings so less is passed along to your baby.
Keep in mind also that caffeine comes from a variety of sources beyond coffee, tea, or soda. It is also in chocolate and many headache medications too.
Another drug sometimes consumed by new mothers is alcohol. But what does science have to tell us about alcohol and breast milk?
Researchers discovered that after the mothers drank the alcohol, the odor of their breast milk became more intense for 30 minutes to one hour. Furthermore, the smell was the strongest when the alcohol content within the breast milk was at its peak.
This study also found that “the infants sucked more frequently during the first minute of feedings after their mothers had consumed alcohol… [but] they consumed significantly less milk.” Based on this, the researchers concluded that consumption of alcohol affects an infant’s feeding behaviors.
For reasons such as these, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) suggests that nursing should be avoided for two hours after drinking. This way, any alcohol that has been consumed has adequate time to leave the mother’s body before potentially being passed on to the infant.
That being said, the NIDA also says that science has found that “alcohol does not increase a nursing mother’s milk production, and it may disrupt the breastfed child’s sleep cycle.” So, if you’re struggling with getting enough milk to adequately feed your infant or if he or she is having trouble sleeping, alcohol may be the culprit.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that roughly 13.6 percent of the female population currently smokes. Additionally, those in the 25 to 44-year-old range smoke more than any other age group, with 45 to 64-year-olds coming in a close second.
Though the negative impact of smoking on the body includes major issues such as an increased risk of heart disease and cancer, there are other effects as well. For instance, people who smoke see a faster decline in vision, often have more wrinkles, and, for women in particular, tend to enter menopause at an earlier age.
Research has found that smoking while breastfeeding can also have negative consequences for the infant. For instance, one study published in the journal Pediatrics discovered that babies slept less if they consumed breast milk within 53.4 minutes of the mother smoking.
Another concern is the mother’s exposure to secondhand smoke and whether the toxins can be transferred through the breast milk to the infant. Pediatrician and breastfeeding expert Jennifer Thomas says, “Even though trace chemicals from tobacco do pass into breast milk when a mom breathes in secondhand smoke, the disease-fighting cells in the breast milk outweigh the negative effect of those chemicals.” In other words, it’s more beneficial to the baby to have the breast milk, even if you’ve been around a smoker.
When talking about nicotine, there is also now the electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette for short. Midwife Clare Littler says that the long-term effects of these nicotine sources is not known, which is why she recommends vaping (the term used for smoking an e-cigarette) only after breastfeeding so it has a smaller impact on your breast milk.
Elizabeth Hartney, PhD, registered psychologist, professor, and Director of the Centre for Health Leadership and Research says that “cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug among pregnant and breastfeeding women.” What effect does this have on a nursing infant?
According to research, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound in marijuana, “is present in human milk up to eight times that of maternal plasma levels.” And because it has been found in the feces of infants exposed to it, it’s fairly clear that their bodies are absorbing and metabolizing this drug.
The Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute (ADAI) adds that THC passed via breast milk can be “stored in the baby’s fatty tissue for several weeks.” This can create a variety of issues for the infant, ranging from experiencing tremors to poor feeding behaviors, and even decreased motor development.
Because of this, Hartney advises that a breastfeeding mother not use marijuana at all. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) agrees. And if you do use marijuana, Hartney suggests foregoing breastfeeding altogether.
If you decide to stop using marijuana in order to breastfeed, Hartney suggests that you do so 90 days before you expect to start breastfeeding because this drug stays in your system for an extended period of time.
The term “opiates” refers to a variety of drugs. A common street-level opiate is heroin. In the case of this drug specifically, some case studies have shown that a child breastfed by a mother addicted to heroin also became addicted to heroin themselves.
Children exposed to heroin through breast milk often have negative physical reactions as well. These include abdominal cramping, diarrhea, increased heart rate, and respiratory distress.
Some opiates are available legally, via a prescription. A couple of them are commonly prescribed to help individuals overcome their heroin addiction (methadone or buprenorphine), and others are generally referred to as painkillers that include codeine, hydrocodone, and oxycontin.
Though these prescribed opiates can be passed down to nursing babies too, guidelines published in Breastfeeding Medicine suggest that breastfeeding should continue with prescription opiates “regardless of dose.” However, use should be monitored by a physician who specializes in breastfeeding to ensure that it is safe for the baby. This is critical as some research has found that opioid toxicity can occur in breastfed infants.
The CDC adds that opiates in the form of codeine should either be avoided or taken in the lowest dosage possible during breastfeeding because they can potentially increase an infant’s risk of illness or even death.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration explains that stimulants “make people more alert [and] increase their attention.” Drugs that fall into this category include illegal options (cocaine and methamphetamine) and those that are prescribed (Ritalin, Adderall, and Dexedrine).
As with the other drugs, stimulants can be passed to the baby via the mother’s breast milk. Therefore, each one comes with its own recommendations with regard to breastfeeding.
For example, in regard to cocaine specifically, research published in the journal Canadian Family Physician says that even small amounts are dangerous to babies because they can’t adequately metabolize this drug. This can lead to agitation and irritability, but it can also lead to hypertension, tachycardia, and seizures.
For this reason, researchers recommend that mothers abstain from breastfeeding for at least 24 hours after using cocaine “to allow for drug elimination.” This helps limit the baby’s potential exposure to the drug.
Similar results have been found with methamphetamine use, which is also detectable in breast milk. In some cases, meth use during breastfeeding has led to the infant’s death. With regard to prescription stimulants, some studies have found that when they’re taken during breastfeeding, they aren’t known to cause any malformation issues, such as heart defects, finger abnormalities, or limb malformations. However, it is possible that they may negatively impact the mother’s production of milk when taken in larger doses, so it’s best to consult with a physician to ensure that you’re within a safe a healthy amount.

Have you ever written a poem? I am not very good at poetry but I do like to write from time to time. Sometimes the poem starts out strong and it flows and sounds beautiful, but then I hit a wall and can’t find the words to continue my rhyme. Sometimes the idea is there but the right words just won’t come. So I go back and read the flow from the beginning, hoping that by reflecting on what was already written, the rest would pour out, and the poem will be a masterpiece.
Life is kind of like this. At least for me, I know that my life is a masterpiece in the Lord’s eyes, I know He has a plan for my life that is greater than any I could ever imagine. Yet I find myself going back and revisiting the years that have already passed, looking for the moments that filled me with joy and confidence. I keep searching for a feeling that will flow forward and bring contentment in my today.
That is not to say I am not content, I am, for the most part, but there is a break in the flow of my life’s poem, verses missing. My relationship with the Lord is strengthening every day and I am finding joy even in my struggles and daily frustrations. So what am I searching for? Why do I keep re-reading each page of my life and searching for meaning? For the most part, this life has been an anomalous experience. Yet, there is a break in the flow of my life’s poem, there are verses missing. Perhaps it is because I am getting older and have begun to face the reality of my legacy. But that is for another post.
I know the story of my life is not yet complete, I know the best verse has not yet been written, I know that when the Lord has completed His good work in me I will be a masterpiece.
Today’s thought: The treasures in your heart are building blocks filling you with passion and hope for a future beyond expectation.

“Once a prospective employer starts talking money — as in how much you currently earn — it’s hard not to panic. And while it may seem like the only option is to simply answer the question, this is the time to choose your words carefully. In fact, how you respond to those initial salary questions plays a crucial role in determining whether your final pay package is excellent or just enough.
Employers use salary information to decide how much they need to offer to get you to consider the job. By providing salary information to a potential employer, you limit your ability to negotiate a compensation package that reflects your true market value. If you are currently underpaid, providing that information will ensure that you remain so.
The best way to deal with the salary issue is to avoid it. However, you need to do that tactfully and in a way that will not upset your prospective employer. At the same time, if you handle it correctly, an employer trying to recruit you will not want to press the issue for fear of angering you.
If you can delay discussions about salary, or keep them vague, until an employer wants to hire you, you can often get an offer without providing detailed salary information at all. If hiring managers do not have that information, they will be forced to base their offer on your market value rather than your current salary.
The issue of what you are earning is likely to arise before you even start the interview process, when you are asked to fill out an application. Most applications have a section that asks for salary history. Many online job postings and ads in newspapers also ask for this information. Some even warn that you won’t be considered if you don’t provide salary information. Sometimes you can get away by simply ignoring the request. Another way to deal with this question is to state that you “will discuss it in person.” Occasionally, you will not be considered for a job if you do not provide this information; more often than not, though, if you have marketed yourself well, you will be able to get an interview without disclosing your current salary.
Recruiters generally seek salary information for a different purpose. Since they usually are paid based on a percentage of your first year’s compensation, it is in their interest for the offer to be higher. They want to know your salary to avoid recommending a candidate, only to find out later that the company and the candidate cannot agree on salary. Therefore, the tactics that work with companies to avoid discussing salary will not work with most recruiters. They will insist on having salary information. Providing the information to the recruiter, though, will hurt your ability to negotiate. Remember the recruiter works for the company and whatever you tell the recruiter will usually be passed on to the company.

New Zealand chief executive Joan Withers told NZPA 160 of those jobs are on this side of the Tasman, but some have already gone through "attrition" or through rationalisation already under way in centralising some sub-editing at newspapers.
"Editorial cuts are mostly in the sub-editing area," he said.
"In terms of the front-end journalist area there might be some, but main thrust is in the sub-editing."
Fairfax publishes nine New Zealand daily newspapers, including the Dominion-Post in Wellington and The Press in Christchurch, and in July announced sub-editors at Wellington and Christchurch would produce some sections of the other papers at a centralised "hub".
The 160 redundancies were announced today and follow the Australian media giant registering a profit of AU$387 million - a 47% increase on the previous return.
Further reducing newsrooms will only mean more of their already overworked journalists will struggle to give properly researched treatment to their stories and as a result their readers will not get the information they need to make informed decisions in their day to day lives."
The "hub" - sounds like some sort of alien colony.
Great. More poorly written, factually inaccurate articles coming our way.
160 new applications to join the PM's communications staff.

Collaboration among healthcare partners in a geographic community is critical, in particular for specialties such as behavioral health and long-term and post-acute care, where patients may receive care from a mix of providers and agencies in a region. The Connected Communities Implementation Grant Program calls for participation by one or more of these specialty providers in project proposals. The program encourages proposals which strengthen local partnerships across a diversity of settings, such as linking school or criminal justice environments with clinical and behavioral health providers.
Support improved outcomes and efficiency in treatment, including measureable reductions in hospital readmissions, medical errors, and duplicative tests, through improved cross-setting care management.
Organizations eligible to lead potential projects include those involved in Treatment, Payment, and healthcare Operations (TPO), including healthcare practices, health plans, and hospitals. Successful lead organizations will engage civic, municipal, and non-profit organizations in their proposal.
Awards will be made in a phased process. MeHI will initially award successful grantees a planning payment of up to $25,000, which participants will use to develop key project requirements, including a detailed action plan, a diagram illustrating the information pathways to be created in a region, a ‘Use Case’ which outlines the objectives and proposed measurements for the project, and a detailed cost budget. If the initial plan is approved, grantees will then be eligible for incentive payments that will be awarded over a two-year period. Each project will move through four milestones that progress through advanced stages of inter-organizational care coordination. While individual incentive payments will vary, MeHI anticipates milestone payments to range from $50,000 to $125,000 per milestone, up to a maximum grant of $500,000. MeHI anticipates awarding grants to support between five to eight projects in this funding round.
This new program was informed by interviews among a diverse set of community stakeholders and roundtable sessions hosted and organized in 15 regions across the Commonwealth. The Connected Communities grants are funded via key investments made by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts through Chapter 224, the 2012 healthcare cost containment law. Under Chapter 224, MeHI was charged with advancing the dissemination of health information technology across the Commonwealth and supporting the development of strong community-based approaches to healthcare information sharing.
The 2014 MeHI Provider and Consumer Health IT Research Study of Massachusetts health care providers revealed that the adoption of health IT was strong among primary care and specialty care providers, but lagged in specialties such as behavioral health and long-term and post-acute care. In addition, only 26 percent of providers said they were participating in a health information exchange.

4 down, 2 to go! Here's tsum number 4: Twilight Sparkle! You guessed right !
Twilie tsum took quite a lot longer than I'd expected. I had to figure out a decent way to combine the different colours in her hair, and it was extremely challenging working at such a small scale. I tried 3 different methods, and in the end decided that the easiest & neatest way for me was applique. I plan to do the same for Rainbow Dash's hair/all future tsums with multi-coloured hair.
To be perfectly honest - Twilight is my least favourite pony in plush form, maybe it's to do with how awkward her fringe looks in 3D form. However, I reckon she looks super adorable in tsum form!!! Her fringe looks sooooo cute front on! >w< and I love her teeny tiny horn & wings!
There's been a lot of interest in commissions for these little tsums so I will be opening commission slots for them after I've plushed the mane 6. Slots will be limited - and there will be patron exclusive slots. Slots will probably be on a first come, first served basis? or randomly? I'm not sure yet.
I gonna give this to my niece for a surprise. This is gonna be awesome!
These are ADORABLE! Btw, I have a daughter named Darryn. Isn't that awesome! My other daughter would love these!
Wish I could hug 'em all! You made them so cute!
Thank you so much!!! ^^ glad you like them!
Oh my- I've spent sometime away from your gallery and when I come to check it BOOM ! lots of cute tsums... !!
It's so small I'm sure it's a pain to sew, they also have delicate faces after all. Congratulations on such a cute work !
Hehe, I'm so happy you like my tsums! and yes! they are teeny tiny and the most challenging part is actually sewing all those teeny tiny details >.< a lot of people think the smaller the plush, the cheaper it should be... but actually in a lot of cases - plushing at such a small scale can actually be more time consuming/challenging!
So cute! The wings are adorable!!
No problem! And I agree.
Oh my gosh, the pile of adorable tiny ponies keeps betting bigger! All that remain are Party Tsum and Zoom Tsum! Once all six are here and their powers combine I wonder, will it rage out of control in an all con-tsum-ing wave of squishably soft plushie cuteness?! I'm betting on yes!
thank you so much! glad you like her!
hehe, thank you so much!!!! xD I'm so happy you like her!!!
OMG I love them ALL!
I'm in love! She's so cute and fluffy!
Thank you so much!!! I'm super delighted you like her!!!

Last night I watched a program on the ABC on the slow movement. Titled Frantic Family Rescue, it detailed the efforts of three families to slow down the frantic pace of their lives, guided by journalist Carl Honoré. Honoré is the author of “In Praise of Slow” and an advocate of the slow movement.
The pressures of my frantic life are not a revelation to me, nor are my regrets about the toll on the life of my son during his formative years. For financial reasons it seemed that I had little choice as I tried desperately to support us in the face of inadequate employment and compensation. Perhaps I didn’t try hard enough, or explore alternative options but I am not interested in beating myself up over something that I can’t change now.
I am interested in making positive changes from here on however and am considering how I can make that happen, whilst still doing what I need to do. A key component of the experiment that was shown on television is the reduction of screen time. At a time when I am in the process of establishing an online-based business, that would appear to be a challenge, as of course is the whole concept of slowing down. I’m not prepared to put it in the too hard basket though.
Looking realistically at my day, I haven’t been using my time very effectively. Working from home can be an easy way of losing focus and succumbing to diversions. So … I am planning my day the evening before, making a realistic list of what needs to be achieved and am blocking out the time for the various tasks in my Outlook Calendar. I know that one can use Tasks for tracking but I have never found that it worked well for me. If anything I get irritated by the pop-ups, so Calendar it is. I’m starting each day with one of those irritating phone calls that I usually need to make – to banks or utility companies or whatever where you know that you will be confronted with layers of confusing menus and then put on hold for ages. Getting those calls out of the way early in the day and spreading them out over the days in the week is a sanity-saving strategy.
I am also scheduling some time away from the computer – i.e. weeding a patch of the garden, raking up the leaves, going for a walk. I am not blocking out 9-5 totally, as there needs to be flexibility in the day to allow for the unexpected, or tasks that arise during the day (thanks email). I am also alternating tasks so that I don’t get bored with the tedium and become less effective. I figure that if I can maximise my productiveness during the day, I don’t have to work on the business at night. I can read or joy or joys, I can work on the next novel manuscript.
An important part of my regime is going to bed at a reasonable time and this is going to take some working on. I know that I would benefit from more sleep. Supporting that goal is turning off screens at least half an hour before that so that I have wind-down time. OK, I know that there should probably be more screenless time, but I’m working on it – okay? It will just be checking emails and of course if I am working on the manuscript then probably I will have been typing.
Even more radical will be giving myself guilt-free weekends. In all of my home-based businesses in the past, I have worked on them every day, and have felt incredibly guilty when domesticity has taken me away from those tasks. Taking my weekends back feels incredibly self-indulgent but that’s what I am doing from now on.
My diversionary activity through the day is typically scanning through online media sites. When there is no water-cooler activity happening in your workspace, there is a craving for some interaction and information about what is happening in the world. My very first time block therefore is for reading the various sites. I am not going to stop doing it, but I’m going to contain it to a reasonable time slot.
The other activity that I have introduced is walking and no, I am not actually scheduling this one. This is first thing in the morning to blow away the cobwebs and to make a good start to the day. With our recent wintry and drizzly weather, gloves and raincoat are my friends but I am still walking. Sometimes I combine it with a supermarket trip so the car gets to stay in the drive. Saving fuel – woo hoo!
This is a time of transition for me and I think that my recent redundancy has probably given me a gift. What are your slow living strategies? Please share them here. What have the benefits been to you? I am interested in any tips you might have.

I loved this post. We seem to be walking a parallel path in many respects. I am enjoying my journey very much – I hope you are too!!
Thanks Heather. I am enjoying trying, but having just got back from a 3-day writers’ conference, I am a bit exhausted. The slow down still needs some work. I am all fired up after the conference though and keen to get stuck into my second book.

Sail Training Ireland is a charity who funds the development of young people from all backgrounds and all abilities on the island of Ireland by giving them the opportunity to participate on voyages on sailing vessels. While they obviously learn about sailing it’s more about learning from the whole experience. The exciting adventure offers the participants the opportunity to overcome fears, push boundaries and take on new responsibilities in a challenging environment. The experience promotes self-confidence, enhances self-esteem and develops leadership, teamwork and communication skills. It often has a profound effect on the participants outlook and life.
We raise funds to send young people on life changing sail training voyages.
"Keep up the great work ."

Now that the year is coming to an end, we are flooded with reviews of the year. For many reasons, 2016 wasn’t a particularly good year: especially some “democratic” decisions made this year cast some doubt on the so-called “swarm intelligence” which in 2016 apparently turned into “swarm dullness”. With alt-right, fake news and the post-factual world being an imminent threat to mental sanity, we can only hope for a better 2017. Anyway – that’s not the topic of this blog post. As many other journals did, the top journal of the Medical World, NEJM has nominated their top articles in each speciality (http://www.jwatch.org/na43004/2016/12/23/nejm-journal-watch-psychiatry-top-stories-2016).
the equally sad as important report that young children (aged 5 to 11), who died by suicide, had more frequently symptoms of ADHD, rather than depressive features (almost 60% of 87 children). Also for this most devastating outcome, it is thus very important to adequately diagnose ADHD (http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/138/4/e20160436) especially considering that ADHD goes along with an increased risk for suicide life-long which can be lowered by MPH treatment.
In my opinion, the fact that the editors picked three ADHD-relevant papers for their top 10 list demonstrates that ADHD is a hot topic and that we provide cutting edge research in the field – and we will continue to do so in 2017! Watch out at this space for more news on ADHD / ASD, my personal top picks in 2016 and more exciting research in the coming year! Merry New Year and all the best for 2017 for all of you, may it bring peace, happiness and reason to this discomposed world.

On October 27, 2016 GreenWorks led a tour for the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture of Beijing University and staff of Landscape Architecture Frontiers publication. This tour group was particularly interested in technical issues related to: soil/vegetation approaches for water quality treatment; the ultra- violet finishing treatment that allows for human contact with the treated water; and soil capping issues for a former brownfield site. GreenWorks typically leads 4-6 tours per year since Tanner Springs Park opened in 2005. Tour groups have included national and international professional and environmental organizations and academic institutions. Visitors are interested in a variety of issues, including design inspiration, public involvement and outreach, and technical challenges.
Couch Park comment forms for the playground and plaza improvements are due Thursday December 10th.
GreenWorks was been hired by Portland Parks & Recreation to design the new playground, address accessibility issues in the plaza and install a new Portland Loo at Couch Park as part of the Parks Replacement Bond. We presented the three options below for the playground at an Open House on December 3rd . Online comments are due Thursday December 10th and can be found here: http://www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/68915. One of the top priorities for the playground is for it to be inclusive, which mean that it should be designed for children of all ages and abilities. We have been working closely with Mara Kaplan from Let Kids Play http://www.letkidsplay.com/ who is a national expert and advocate for inclusive playground design. Mara was brought on to the design team to help us design a playground that provides exceptional play opportunities for all children.
GreenWorks met with the city of Astoria to present the Downtown Astoria Pedestrian Wayfinding Concept Plan. Those in attendance were city officials, focus group members, and Astoria community members. The presentation focused on distinct sign typologies that direct and inform pedestrians getting around downtown Astoria. Following the presentation was an interactive group discussion about sign locations, aesthetic preferences interpretive sign opportunities.

greenworks was been hired by portland parks & recreation to design the new playground, address accessibility issues in the plaza and install a new portland loo at couch park as part of the parks replacement bond. we presented the three options below for the playground at an open house on december 3rd . online comments are due thursday december 10th and can be found here: http://www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/68915. one of the top priorities for the playground is for it to be inclusive, which mean that it should be designed for children of all ages and abilities. we have been working closely with mara kaplan from let kids play http://www.letkidsplay.com/ who is a national expert and advocate for inclusive playground design. mara was brought on to the design team to help us design a playground that provides exceptional play opportunities for all children.
greenworks met with the city of astoria to present the downtown astoria pedestrian wayfinding concept plan. those in attendance were city officials, focus group members, and astoria community members. the presentation focused on distinct sign typologies that direct and inform pedestrians getting around downtown astoria. following the presentation was an interactive group discussion about sign locations, aesthetic preferences interpretive sign opportunities.

KATHERINE Heigl, who’s rarely at a loss for words, says she removed herself from Emmy consideration this year because the “Grey’s Anatomy” writers failed to give her juicy material.
“I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination,” Heigl told awards site goldderby.com. – which noticed she wasn’t on the TV Academy’s list of Emmy contenders.
Heigl won an Emmy last year for her portrayal of “Grey’s” doc Izzie Stevens.
She apparently feels that, last season, Izzie didn’t have a compelling-enough storyline to make Emmy voters sit up and take notice.
This isn’t the first time Heigl has been outspoken.
In February 2007, she pulled out of contract talks with ABC over a salary dispute – and then criticized ABC for going public with details of the negotiations.
She also slammed former co-star Isaiah Washington after he used a gay slur in referring to “Grey’s” co-star T.R. Knight (George). Washington was eventually fired.
ABC officials were unavailable for comment yesterday.

text: Radice Rubino: This is a chuncky little Radice estate. The grain is nice but what really sets it apart is the multi colored wood accent and light rim contrast. The bowl does have a couple of burn marks on the top inside edge which makes it look a tad out of round. The pipe really hasn't been smoked all that much, you can still see the bare briar through the scorch inside the bowl. The stem has only the faintest of tooth marks. Overall a steal of a pipe.

From Yves Saint Laurent’s modernist Mondrian dresses to Louis Vuitton’s cult collaborations, Vogue looks back at fashion’s most memorable artistic endeavours.
Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dalí were friends who shared such an appreciation, one of the earliest examples of the artistic cross-pollination that designers now seek. The Italian couturier’s exquisite surrealist evening gown featured a large Dalí-esque lobster painted across the crotch area – an exploration of sexuality.
The arrival of Andy Warhol in the '60s signaled a new breed of cultural icon that reignited fashion’s appetite for art. Yves Saint Laurent and Warhol became friends and collaborators – Warhol painted a series of colourful portraits of the designer, while Saint Laurent designed his autumn/winter 1966 Pop Art collection, a sartorial embodiment of the artistic movement. Countless designers have featured Warhol’s work in their collections since – including Gianni Versace, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and Raf Simons – cementing his status as fashion’s favourite artist.
Beyond Warhol’s enduring influence, Raf Simons, Miuccia Prada, Marc Jacobs and Kim Jones have continued to call upon lesser-known artists to enhance their creative process – not just referencing the artwork, but featuring it front and centre. Prada’s standout collaboration was with French artist Christophe Chemin for the celebrated autumn/winter 2016 menswear collection.
Elsewhere, former Vuitton menswear designer Kim Jones has begun to establish a similar culture of artistic collaboration at Dior Men. Jones teamed up with New York-based contemporary artist Kaws for his debut collection, which saw the artist reimagine the house’s signature bee logo for a capsule collection. Kaws also created a giant version of his BFF character made entirely from flowers that formed part of Jones’s runway set, as well as becoming part of Dior Men’s SS19 campaign imagery. And Jones’s latest pre-fall show in Tokyo featured an imposing 12-metre high robot by Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama – the artist also designed a limited-edition bag for the collection.
Art has always influenced fashion, but when designers move beyond references and subtle nods and instead work directly with artists, truly extraordinary and original work is created. Such collections – many now cult collectibles – occupy an exciting new space where the two fields meet, standing not only as works of art in their own right, but as fun, highbrow sartorial offerings that allow designers to create beyond the normal realms of fashion.
