Regardless of anything you need to contact your doctor and make them aware of what is going on. When I was pregnant with my twins I started having contractions after about 4 months. Mine turned out okay, I experienced preterm labor multiple times a week, but did carry them until 36 weeks. Thankfully I did have two rounds of the injections to cause their lungs to develop very early on, their was very little complications with them after birth. I think someone else mentioned dehydration in a post. This is a big thing. If you start having contractions lay down and drink a few glass of water, really a few. A lot of the times the first ways the hospital try and stop preterm labor is with IV fluids. Write down when you are having the contractions. They need to be similar in length and in frequency. Regardless of if this is the case I still feel you should contact someone. You need to be sure what you are dealing with and it's nothing to wait on. Good luck and I hope everything goes well.

Hi Colleen,
I went in preterm labor at 28 weeks with my daughter and at 30 weeks with my son. You should call your doctor right away. I ended up on bed rest (in the hospital) with my daughter until I gave birth to her at 35 1/2 weeks. Luckily, with my son I was on bed rest at home. I had him at 36 ½ weeks. The doctors put me on terbutaline to stop the contractions both times. It is possible to postpone your labor, but you need to contact your doctor! There is a swab test that your doctor can do called fetal fibronectin test (fFN) to determine whether or not you are going to deliver preterm. http://pregnancyandbaby.com/pregnancy/ba...
Good luck! I hope this helps.

I forgot to finish my thought! oops
With my daughter I was in preterm labor at 29 weeks, The docs stomped the labor, I received steroids to help her lungs mature faster, and came home on meds to help stop contractions. All 3 of mine are preemies, But call your doctor, lay down and drink lots of fluids. Dehydration can cause cramping and contractions. But please dont delay if you think you are in preterm labor, call the doctor.

Hi colleen, i went into labor at 26wks, n had my daugher within 6hours of going it labor... call the hospital if ur contractions are continuous and equal length apart and they will talk you through what to do. Good luck!!!
Tina - posted on 04/05/2009
You can go into labor at any time, call your doctor and tell them what is going on. They can meet you at the hospital evaluate you and if you are in labor the need to stop it and take precautionary measures to hold labor off as long as possible.

Queseria Bendita Recalls Queso Fresco, Panela, and Requeson Because of Possible Healt
Queseria Bendita of Yakima, Wash., is recalling three types of cheese, Queso Fresco, Panela, and Requeson, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

While the Canada Safety Council is celebrating Canada's triumph over traffic deaths, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada reports progress, too. However, since many homeowners suffer heart attacks each year as they tackle traditional home-maintenance jobs, the Foundation feels there is still room for improvement.
In spite of improvements in heart attack mortality, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, which funds 60 % of the heart and stroke research in Canada has uncovered some startling regional disparities that indicate where you live can affect your vulnerability to heart attack and death. The Foundation is currently researching Ontario Hot Spots, "geographic areas showing higher rates of mortality and morbidity than others across the province." These Hot Spots include the Municipality of Chatham-Kent, the southwestern counties of Bruce, Elgin and Essex, the Haldimand-Norfolk Regional Municipality, Sudbury Regional Municipality and Thunder Bay District.
Initial research revealed that, for instance, in Haldimand-Norfolk Regional Municipality, which has a population of 107,840, during 1997 mortality rates were significantly higher (326 versus 215/100,000) than the rest of Ontario. The seriousness of this geographical disparity is particularly evident when figures are compared to the Ottawa-Carleton Regional Municipality: Ottawa had a heart attack rate almost half that of Haldimand-Norfolk, and death rate of 196 versus 326/100,000 population.
The Foundation reports that striking urban-rural discrepancies in heart disease distribution are attributable in part to traditional risk factors, many of which are modifiable. The Ontario Health Survey shows that Ontario's northern and rural areas have more smokers, more obese and sedentary people and more individuals who eat a high-fat diet as compared to urban areas. Socioeconomic and environmental factors seem also to contribute to the higher incidence in these area. Although the Foundation sees the necessity for further research, it feels stepped up health promotion and clinical prevention strategies will help reduce currently recognized risk factors.
Every year, homeowners succumb to heart attacks while shoveling snow or undertaking a strenuous gardening or home renovation project. Quick action on the home front will improve the heart attack victims chances of survival:
Make your home a safe place to be by making sure everyone knows what to do in a health emergency, particularly a heart attack. Every minute that passes reduces the chances of heart attack survival by 7 to10 percent so confident action can save a life -- perhaps yours.

Wilmington Savings Bank Now Offers FHA and VA Loans
Community Bank Adds Alternative Mortgages to Loan Offerings
Wilmington, OH – July 26, 2016 – In addition to more traditional home loans, hometown community bank Wilmington Savings Bank is also now offering FHA and VA loans. Bank president Tom Burns explained that the bank continues to find solutions that help hard working members of the community obtain home ownership.
"Owning a home is still the American dream," Burns explained. "And it's the cornerstone of a thriving community, so the ability to create more opportunities and provide options to more residents is not only good for our bank, it's good for our community."
An FHA home loan is a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It is an alternative to a conventional mortgage, and are generally intended to help people with limited down payment funds or modest credit history.
A major difference between an FHA loan and a conventional mortgage is that FHA borrowers only have to put down 3.5 percent on the purchase. Closing costs may also be lower on FHA mortgages.
A Veterans Affair, or VA, loan entitlement is a basic entitlement of $36,000 that is available to eligible veterans seeking a VA home loan. Most lenders will loan up to four times the veteran's entitlement on a home without requiring the veteran to make a down payment. VA loans are subject to credit and income qualifications and the property being purchased must appraise for the price being asked for it.
The VA does not set a limit on how much a qualifying veteran can borrow when looking to finance a home, and most VA homes are purchased with no money down.
Burns says that anyone interested in learning more about the FHA/VA loan options offered by Wilmington Savings Bank may stop in the local office and discuss with a loan officer.

Routine analysis of the data produced by BSL networks begins as the waveforms are acquired by computers at UC Berkeley, and ranges from automatic processing for earthquake response to analyst review for earthquake catalogs and quality control.
Over the last 12 years, the BSL has invested in the development of the hardware and software necessary for an automated earthquake notification system (Gee et al., 1996; 2003a). The Rapid Earthquake Data Integration (REDI) project is a research program at the BSL for the rapid determination of earthquake parameters with three major objectives: to provide near real-time locations and magnitudes of northern and central California earthquakes, to provide estimates of the rupture characteristics and the distribution of ground shaking following significant earthquakes, and to develop better tools for the rapid assessment of damage and estimation of loss.
In 1996, the BSL and USGS began collaboration on a joint notification system for northern and central California earthquakes. The current system merges the programs in Menlo Park and Berkeley into a single earthquake notification system, combining data from the NCSN and the BDSN. Today, the joint BSL and USGS system forms the Northern California Earthquake Management Center (NCEMC) of the California Integrated Seismic Network (Chapter 39).
With partial support from the USGS, the BSL is currently embarking on the development and assessment of a system to warn of imminent ground shaking in the seconds after an earthquake has initiated but before strong motions begin at sites that may be damaged (Chapter 12).
The details of the Northern California processing system and the REDI project have been described in previous annual reports. In this section, we describe how the Northern California Earthquake Management Center fits within the CISN system, detail recent developments, and discuss plans for the future development.
Figure 39.3 in Chapter 39 illustrates the NCEMC as part of the the CISN communications ring. The NCEMC is a distributed center, with elements in Berkeley and in Menlo Park. The 35 mile separation between these two centers is in sharp contrast to the Southern California Management Center, where the USGS Pasadena is located across the street from the Caltech Seismological Laboratory. As described in Chapter 39, the CISN partners are connected by a dedicated T1 communications link, with the capability of falling back to the Internet. In addition to the CISN ring, the BSL and the USGS Menlo Park have a second dedicated communications link to provide bandwidth for shipping waveform data and other information between their processing systems.
Figure 45.1 provides more detail on the current system at the NCEMC. At present, two Earthworm-Earlybird systems in Menlo Park feed two ``standard" REDI processing systems at UC Berkeley. One of these systems is the production or paging system; the other is set up as a hot backup. The second system is frequently used to test new software developments before migrating them to the production environment. The Earthworm-Earlybird-REDI systems perform standard detection and location, and estimate , , and , as well as processing ground motion data. The computation of ShakeMaps is also performed on two systems, one in Menlo Park and one in Berkeley, as described below. An additional system performs finite-fault processing and the computation of higher level ShakeMaps.
The dense network and Earthworm-Earlybird processing environment of the NCSN provides rapid and accurate earthquake locations, low magnitude detection thresholds, and first-motion mechanisms for small quakes. The high dynamic range data loggers, digital telemetry, and broadband and strong-motion sensors of the BDSN along with the REDI analysis software provide reliable magnitude determination, moment tensor estimation, peak ground motions, and source rupture characteristics. Robust preliminary hypocenters are available about 25 seconds after the origin time, while preliminary coda magnitudes follow within 2-4 minutes. Estimates of local magnitude are generally available 30-120 seconds later, and other parameters, such as the peak ground acceleration and moment magnitude, follow within 1-4 minutes (Figure 45.2).
Earthquake information from the joint notification system is distributed by pager/cellphone, e-mail, and the WWW. The first two mechanisms ``push" the information to recipients, while the current Web interface requires interested parties to actively seek the information. Consequently, paging and, to a lesser extent, e-mail are the preferred methods for emergency response notification. The recenteqs site has enjoyed enormous popularity since its introduction and provides a valuable resource for information whose bandwidth exceeds the limits of wireless systems and for access to information which is useful not only in the seconds immediately after an earthquake, but in the following hours and days as well.
Figure 45.1 illustrates the current organization of the two systems. As described above, each Earthworm/Earlybird component is tied to a REDI component and the pair form a single ``joint notification system." Although this approach has functioned reasonably well over the last eight years, there are a number of potential problems associated with the separation of critical system elements by 35 miles of San Francisco Bay.
Recognizing this, we are redesigning the Northern California operations so that identical, complete systems operate independently at the USGS and UC Berkeley. In FY01/02, specifications were established and the details required for design were determined. In the interim, however, much of the development effort focused on statewide CISN activities, and specific plans for the ``next generation" Northern California system were put on hold. The enforced wait provided the opportunity for some ideas to mature and the current plans for the NCEMC are somewhat different from those envisioned in 2001.
The current design draws strongly on the experience in Southern California for the development of TriNet (Figure 45.3), with modifications to allow for local differences (such as very different forms of data acquisition and variability in network distribution). In addition, the BSL and the USGS want to minimize use of proprietary software in the system. The TriNet software used three forms of proprietary software: Talerian Smart Sockets (TSS) for inter-module communication via a ``publish and subscribe" method, RogueWave software for database communication, and Oracle as the database management system. As part of the development of the Northern California Earthquake Data Center, the USGS and BSL have worked extensively with Oracle databases and extending this to the real-time system is not viewed as a major issue. However, we did take the opportunity to review options for replacing Smart Sockets and RogueWave with Southern California, resulting in joint agreement on replacement packages and shared development effort.
In the last four years, BSL staff, particularly Pete Lombard, have become extremely familiar with portions of the TriNet software. We have continued to adapt the software for Northern California, making adjustments and modifications along the way. For example, Pete Lombard has adapted the TriNet magnitude module to northern California, where it is running on a test system. Pete made a number of suggestions on how to improve the performance of the magnitude module and has worked closely with Caltech and the USGS/Pasadena on modifications.
The BSL and the USGS Menlo Park have developed and tested a design to exchange ``reduced amplitude timeseries." One of the important innovations of the TriNet software development is the concept of continuous processing (Kanamori et al., 1999). Waveform data are constantly processed to produce Wood Anderson synthetic amplitudes and peak ground motions. A program called rad produces a reduced timeseries, sampled every 5 secs, and stores it in a memory area called an ``Amplitude Data Area" or ADA. Other modules can access the ADA to retrieve amplitudes to calculate magnitude and ShakeMaps as needed. The BSL and the USGS Menlo Park have collaborated to establish the tools for the ADA-based exchange. As part of the software development in northern California, a number of modules have been developed.
During 2005-2006, progress has continued toward the retirement of CUSP - the system used by the USGS Menlo Park to time earthquakes. CUSP was initially developed in Southern California during the late 1970s - early 1980s and has been used for a number of years in Northern California. However, the CUSP system is becoming increasingly outdated.
The NCEMC has implemented a plan to retire CUSP, using some components of the Southern California system. The primary responsibility for the necessary programming and development rest on the shoulders of BSL staff. They have implemented the RequestCardGenerator (a module that decides which channels to archive, given a particular earthquake), a waveform archiving module, and iiggle (the earthquake timing interface). The NCEMC and SCMC collaborated on modifications to jiggle for use in Northern California such as the computation of . The test system is operating, and USGS timers have begun to assess jiggle.
Also during the past year, Northern and Southern California developers spent a day in Pasadena discussing issues of joint interest.
The REDI system has routinely produced automatic estimates of moment magnitude () for many years. However, wary of complications caused by the publication of multiple magnitudes, these estimates were not routinely used as the ``official" magnitude until after the 05/14/2002 Gilroy earthquake ( 4.9, 5.1).
In a past annual report, we discussed the question of when to report . As currently implemented, solutions that meet a minimum quality criterion are automatically reported (a variance reduction of 40% or higher). This criterion appears to work very well and screens out events contaminated by teleseisms. Over the last few years, nearly all events over 4.5 have met this criterion, as have a number of events in the M3.5-4.5 range. As part of the effort to establish a statewide magnitude reporting hierarchy, we have looked more closely at the estimates of (Gee et al., 2003b; 2004) and the comparison between and .
Two methods of determining regional moment tensor (RMT) solutions are part of the REDI system - the complete waveform modeling technique (CW) of Dreger and Romanowicz (1994) and the surface wave inversion (SW) of Romanowicz et al. (1993). In the past year processing for the SW algorithm was discontinued, however CW moment tensors continue to be calculated, reviewed and reported. Comparison between the results of the CW method and other regional moment tensor studies in northern California and the western United States show excellent agreement in the estimate of seismic moment and . Over 128 events, the average difference in is 0.002 magnitude units.
As we transition toward statewide reporting of earthquake information, a comparison of magnitudes calculated for southern and northern becomes important. We have collected a set of events recorded well by digital broadband and and strong motion stations of the Northern California (NC), Berkeley (BK) and Southern California (CI) networks and are assessing the computation of local magnitude for each station.
In fiscal year 2005-2006, more than 30,000 earthquakes were detected and located by the automatic systems in northern California. This compares with over 38,800 in 2004-2005, and 12,000 in 2003-2004. Many of the large number of events in 2004-2005 are aftershocks of the 2004 Parkfield earthquakes. The number of events continues to remain high, because we are now receiving data from a network of seismometers in the Geysers, a region with a high level of small magnitude seismicity. Of the more than 30,000 events, over 170 had preliminary magnitudes greater than 3. Fourteen events had greater than 4. The largest event recorded by the system occurred on 12 May 2006 with 4.6. This earthquake near the Geysers, California was actually two events within 70 seconds of each other.
As described in the 2003-2004 Annual Report, the BSL staff are no longer reading BDSN records for local and regional earthquakes (as of March 2004). This decision was in part intended to reduce duplication of effort between Berkeley and Menlo Park.
The BSL continues to focus on the unique contributions that can be made from the broadband network. From July 2005 through June 2006, BSL analysts reviewed nearly 30 earthquakes in northern California and adjoining areas of magnitude 3.5 and higher. Reviewed moment tensor solutions were obtained for 11 events (through 6/30/2006). Figure 45.4 and Table 45.1 display the earthquakes located in the BSL catalog and the moment tensor solutions.
The density and distribution of broadband seismic stations located in Northern and Central California increased during the past year, with two new BK stations and additional broadband seismic stations installed as the USArray transportable array completes its station coverage in the region. One design goal of the transportable network is to complement the existing BDSN broadband stations and cover the region with an average interstation spacing of 70 km. Our motivation for characterizing the seismic background noise PSD level observed at the transportable stations is, in part, that we would like to occupy the best sites after the transportable array moves out of the region, in order to improve the coverage of the BDSN network.
We have been characterizing the vertical and horizontal seismic background noise levels observed in Northern and Central California via Power Spectral Density (PSD) analysis of the seismic background signals recorded by the BDSN broadband seismic stations (BK network), NCSN broadband stations (NC network) and by the USArray broadband seismic stations (TA network). Two frequency bands, the 1-5 Hz short-period (SP) band and the 30-60 second long-period (LP) band, are analyzed to characterize the background noise in the seismic bands of interest, particularly for the study of the seismic signals from local and regional seismic events.
The PSD algorithm uses a statistical approach to robustly estimate the background noise PSD. The PSD estimates are reported in dB relative to 1 (m/s2)2/Hz. The input time series is parsed into eight (possibly overlapping) time series and each of the resulting time series are appropriately windowed prior to calculating their PSD estimates. For short time series, less than 1.5 hours in length, the time series are detrended and sine tapered while for longer time series the dominant semi-diurnal gravitational tide signal is also removed to avoid biasing the long-period PSD estimates. The PSD estimates are smoothed and reported at twenty logarithmically spaced intervals per decade in period.
Owing to the statistical nature of the PSD algorithm, the time series processed must contain at least 65,635 (216) contiguous samples. Shorter time series are not processed and a warning is issued. The PSD algorithm can process data with a wide variety of sampling rates (from sps to sps). A typical usage with broadband data is for the time series to contain one day of continuous LH (1 sps) data (86,400 samples), say. Since the sensor transfer function representation in the SEED data volume for a typical inertial seismometer does not include the static component of the response, the background noise PSD estimates for periods longer than approximately an hour will be biased high; and hence, they will be unreliable.
The PSD code distribution along with examples of its usage are available via the Web at http://seismo.berkeley.edu/algorithms/.
We acquired SEED data volumes containing a network day (2006.022) of 1 Hz three- component broadband data from the broadband stations of the NC network, the TA transportable network and from the BK permanent network. This data was used to characterize the seismic background noise in the long period (LP) band between 30-60 seconds. We also acquired SEED data volumes containing two network hours (2006.022.0000-0200) of 40 Hz three- component broadband data from the same stations of all three networks. (day 2006.022.0000-0200). This data was used to characterize the seismic background noise in the short period (SP) band, between 1-5 Hz. This study was done to assess the broadband NC stations and to help identify TA sites that would be good candidates for upgrading to permanent BDSN sites once TA moves away from Northern California.
The vertical-component LP (30-60 second period) seismic background noise PSD is shown in Figure 45.5A and the corresponding horizontal- component noise is shown in Figure 45.5B. The spread between the quietest and noisiest stations on the vertical-component is 20 dB. Stations of both the BK and TA are relatively quiet. The spread between the quietest and noisiest stations on the horizontal-components in the LP band is 30 dB with a larger percentage of noisy stations. The stations with the lowest noise levels are situated on bedrock or in hard rock mines and are far from cultural noise sources. Stations with high PSD noise levels on the horizontal components may either be on thick alluvium or have high ambient cultural noise levels.
The vertical-component SP (1-5 Hz) seismic background noise PSD is shown in Figure 45.5C and the corresponding horizontal-component noise is shown in Figure 45.5D. Here the spread between the quietest and noisiest stations on the vertical-component is larger than in the LP band, 50 dB. The spread between the quietest and noisiest stations on the horizontal-component is likewise 50 dB. Again, the stations with high horizontal-component PSD noise levels in the SP band are generally either sites with thick alluvial deposits or high ambient cultural noise levels.
Based on this analysis as well as criteria such as ownership, and access to power and telemetry, seven stations have been selected for upgrade to permanent sites within the next 18 months. These are: V04C (RAMR), HAST, O01C and P01C, as well as HATC, HELL and SUTB.

Posted February 23, 2011
By Anugrah Kumar
The Indian government is expected to seek another adjournment – for the 19th time – in a case concerning affirmative action right of India's 17 million "low caste" Christians scheduled to be heard on Thursday.
Briefing the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs on Monday, government's chief attorney Goolam Essaji Vahanvati said the issue posed many legal complications and currently "no decision was called for," The Hindu daily reported.
Co-petitioner Franklin Caesar Thomas, a Dalit Christian, told Christian Post that many members of the Cabinet Committee, headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, were in favor of their demand, but a few of them wanted to wait due to some apprehensions.
However, Thomas said, "We trust the judiciary. The government cannot defer this hearing without a written reply on the matter."
The petition, filed by the Center for Public Interest Litigation in 2004, seeks to challenge a constitutional change passed in 1950 which grants special rights to Dalit (low caste) Hindus but does not cover the Dalits who converted to Christianity and Islam to escape the age-old caste oppression.
Considered "contagiously impure" in Hindu societies for over 2,000 years, Dalits remain the poorest of the poor, are discriminated against and face atrocities at the hands of "higher caste" Hindus.
For their uplift, the Constitution provides for reservation in government jobs, parliament and state assemblies, and educational institutions, as well as other benefits. However, the Presidential Order of 1950 assumes that non-Hindu religions do not have a caste hierarchy, and therefore do not need special protection.
The Order was later amended to include Dalit Sikhs and Dalit Buddhists – although neither of the two religions has a caste hierarchy.
At the Feb. 24 hearing, the court is likely to ask the government to state whether the exclusion of Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims amounts to hostile discrimination under Article 14 of the Indian Constitution, which provides for legal equality.
Sam Paul from the All India Christian Council (AICC) told Christian Post it would be regrettable if the government sought yet another adjournment, as it had already deferred hearings for 18 times.
Proceedings had been delayed because of the "government's inability to make up its mind on the matter despite repeated prodding by the court," AICC's Secretary General John Dayal said in a statement.
"The government has got all the political support it needs. Following the five decade long agitation, almost every opposition party – barring of course the BJP [Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party] – has extended support to the demand of the Dalit Christians," he added in the statement.
Paul said Dalit Christians had long been waiting for "the rulers of India" to do justice "by letting them adopt a religion of their choice and not link economic benefits to their religious affiliation."
He added that most Dalits chose to identify themselves as Hindus in census records so that their families did not lose reservation rights.
The government seems to fear that affirmative action for Dalit Christians will increase the number of Christians in India especially as the 2011 Census – once in 10 years – is in progress.
Besides, reservation for three communities – Dalits, tribals and other backward classes or OBCs – account for as much as 49.5 percent of the jobs and other seats, whereas the Supreme Court has instructed that affirmative action cannot exceed 50 percent. This poses a complication because the National Commission for Scheduled Castes has said that Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims should be given a separate quota, and not included in the 15 percent reservation for Dalits.
In its report in May 2007, a government-appointed enquiry commission led by Justice Ranganath Misra recommended that the government repeal the 1950 Order and make reservation of Dalits completely neutral with respect to religion. Later, the National Commission for Minorities and the National Commission for Scheduled Castes also backed the demand for Dalit Christian rights.
"There is no legitimate reason for the government to delay the case any further. It will have to take a decision in the next few months," hoped Thomas.

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) announced that its Home Network Committee (R7) has adopted a new standard for home networks. The association created the CEA-2007 Quality of Service Priority Groupings for 802.1Q to improve Ethernet networks' ability to play high-quality audio and video content by defining standards for using 802.1Q priorities for consumer-electronics devices. CEA-2007 recognizes three classes of Quality of Service (QoS): best effort, priority routing, and fully managed connections.
"CEA-2007 allows simple QoS implementations, which are important for uninterrupted enjoyment of AV content (i.e., movies and music), to be deployed now," Glen Stone, director of strategy, standards, and architecture at Sony, said. Stone, who is chairman of the group that developed the standard, also said, "The standard allows for more robust QoS implementations when they are developed in the future and maintains backward, and forward, compatibility with the earlier QoS implementations."

One way to take advantage of the warm weather for your child's birthday bash is to have some good old fashioned backyard water fun. Best part? You don't need a swimming pool, just a few fun aquatic activities like a sprinkler and a slip-n-slide. If you're really feeling brave, you can add water balloons into the mix! Bonus? Less mess to clean up inside because the kids will stay outside!
Tip: Don't forget to have sunscreen on hand and provide shaded areas for kids who need a break from the heat.
What kid doesn't love to make a mess and not have to answer to Mom and Dad about it? Yet another benefit to having a summer birthday is being outside. Why not transform your backyard into an arts and crafts area and let the kids bring out their inner Jackson Pollock? Who knew making a mess could be so much fun? (The kids, that's who!)
Tip: On the invitations, suggest that the children dress in their "painting" clothes so you don't have to worry about providing smocks.
Summer and ice cream are the perfect combination. So for your child's warm-weather party, we suggest taking it up a notch and making ice cream the star of the soiree (not to outshine your little one, of course). Find an ice cream cone pinata. Locate some fun ice cream hats. Set up a sundae station that includes everything from whipped cream to fun toppings like crumbled Oreo cookies. And don't forget to include the cherry on top. The kids can even take turns helping serve the treats. For the health conscious, you can provide toppings like granola and fruit. And for that matter, you can offer frozen yogurt as an ice cream substitute. Tip: Provide water for the kids to drink because the ice cream will make them thirsty.
Whether you're throwing your party in June or December, there are some important things to keep in mind when planning your child's birthday bash:
Birthday party etiquette
New twists on familiar birthday party themes
Choosing a birthday party theme

Campus Life
'I can offer all of the products our IU customers need, and I feel great about the quality going out'
Mar. 13, 2014
Take a look around the IU Bloomington campus from almost any vantage point, and you'll probably see a sign -- whether it's a room number outside a door, a "smoke-free campus" reminder or instructions on what to do in case of a fire.
More than likely, those signs were created by Kathy Grant and her colleagues at the IU Bloomington Physical Plant's sign shop.
Over the course of her career at IU Bloomington, Grant has worked on an array of projects: creating campus bus services signs and homecoming banners; designing and installing the lettering on the prow of the USS Indiana; and providing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant room identification, directional signage, custom signage for IU regional campuses and the large exterior signs outside every campus building.
Customers can contact Grant at the sign shop for custom signs. She can suggest a solution based on the customer's need and the IU image brand and then provide an estimate of the cost and a layout for approval.
Grant also provides support to the Physical Plant by providing identification signs for label switches and valves and other safety information for mechanical applications all over the IU Bloomington campus.
Some of her past projects have included the creation of corrosion-resistant, machine-readable, Quick Response barcodes to be used in the Central Heating Plant and under the streets below manhole covers. She has also developed a Plexiglas sun- and weather-resistant sign for climate control units on the roofs of campus buildings.
Grant also oversees the saws and drills for the signs in the Physical Plant. Her words of wisdom on the job: "Just be sure to keep a steady hand when you use the box cutter or you'll lose a finger."
Some of Grant's jobs have been odder than others. When the IU Research and Teaching Preserve near University Lake installed an organic toilet -- which composts faster and promotes a greener environment -- Grant was tasked with creating instructional signs to be placed in the bathrooms.
"No one knew what they were, let alone how to use the toilets," she said.
When Grant came into her job in 2008, it would have been nearly impossible to create any of those signs. Then, the equipment consisted of one 30-year-old rotary engraver and one 15-inch vinyl cutter. The signs were created using a computer that was only loaded with Windows NT, which was not compatible with a mouse, and a DOS-based program was applied to operate the engraver.
Since then, she has helped the sign shop upgrade with new computers, new engravers with rotary and laser technology, a large format laminator and a large format ink jet printer capable of printing projects that are 54 inches wide on myriad materials for inside and outside applications.
"I feel comfortable with the sign shop now," she said." I can offer all of the products our IU customers need, and I feel great about the quality going out."
Grant received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Indiana State University and worked at an Indianapolis advertising agency, Caldwell Van Riper, for 13 years before coming to IU.
She even owned her own graphic design business in Boulder, Colo., for five years. At the ad agency, Grant stuck to strict deadlines and the need to stay within a budget.
"That's how I run the sign shop now," she said.
Grant admits her mind doesn't stop when she leaves the office at 4 p.m. She and her husband, Keith, designed a new deck and gazebo for their house. She drafted the plans and took care of all of the technical aspects, while her husband did most of the building. She also helps her husband, who is a school administrator at Indian Creek Elementary School in Trafalgar, Ind., by designing T-shirts for the school's wrestling team and taking on some occasional graphic design projects.

The 17th annual Caring for the Kenai contest wrapped up last week and it was Molly Watkins, a Kenai Central High School sophomore in Rick Frederic's science class, who walked away with first-place honors and $1,500 for her "bright idea" of changing light bulbs to change the world.
"My project was called 'Make a Switch, Make a Difference' and it focused on getting people to replace incandescent light bulbs with compact florescent light bulbs," Watkins said.
Rather than relying on electricity running through a tiny thread of tungsten as with an incandescent bulb, compact florescent light bulbs utilize electrical energy to excite gas within the bulbs that in turn emits light. This means a lot less energy is used, which can equate to numerous types of savings, according to Watkins.
"If we use less electricity, we don't have to produce as much, so we don't have as many negative effects to the environment from this production, such as carbon dioxide -- a greenhouse gas -- which speeds up global warming," she said.
Watkins said that if everyone on the Kenai Peninsula changed a single incandescent bulb to a compact florescent light, roughly 23,382,000 pounds of carbon dioxide could be prevented from entering Earth's atmosphere over the lifetime of the bulbs.
"In addition to the benefits to the environment, they also benefit your wallet because less electricity -- 75 percent less -- is needed to light them," she said.
Watkins said she is excited that she won the contest because of how many months of research and hard work she devoted to it, but also because now she can continue to promote the use of compact florescent lights.
"I teamed up with HEA. They donated 250 compact florescent light bulbs that I distributed at the Home Show along with my brochures about the benefits of using them. I'm hoping to have a booth at the Kenai River Festival and other community events to continue distributing bulbs and brochures," she said.
Watkins said her goal is to get as many people on the peninsula as possible to make the switch to this eco-friendly technology.
"People in other states are already using them. It's time Alaska jumped on, too," she said.
For more information on compact florescent lights, visit Watkins' Web site, http://pages.mhlearningnetwork.com/mkw/.
The second-place winner in this year's Caring for the Kenai was the team of Tristin Rutherford and Stacey Edgmon from Phil Morin's class in Nikiski. They won $1,000 for a program they created titled Wildlife, Avalanche, Volcano and Earthquake Safety, or WAVES for short.
In third place was the team of Jasmine Klauder and Deandra Latz of KCHS, who won $800; fourth place was Brooke Jasky-Zuber of Skyview High School, who claimed $600; in fifth was Maya Johnson of KCHS, who got $450; and in sixth place was the team of Tyler Bethune and Alex Ross from Niksiki High School, who netted $300.
In addition to the $6,000 in cash awards for the finalists this year, $20,000 was awarded to the science departments of participating schools, which including Kenai, Skyview, Soldotna, Nikiski, Ninilchik and Homer High Schools. Each school will receive $750 for participating, with the remaining $20,000 allocated in proportion to how each school's students placed in the final standings.
There also were another six finalists who received $150 for their oral presentations, and more than 40 semifinalist entries that received special recognition awards from community sponsors.

Contents (November 2007) Edit
The current contents of this page seem to be related to some maintenance task. I recommend that this be moved to its own page in the MA namespace, or to a user subpage. I was alright simply leaving this here, but it has gotten to the point that the sandbox is no longer usable for its intended purpose, and an anon has even been blocked from editing for actions on the sandbox. Seriously, an anon editing the sandbox has been blocked from editing because of the sandbox. Something seems completely backwards about this. --OuroborosCobra talk 16:56, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I should add that these contents have been here for 3 months now. --OuroborosCobra talk 17:03, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Not sure (DE twins ment)
March 23 2011 at 9:10 PM
Response to
Trends in donor egg production
I'm not sure, but I have a guess that clinics are moving towards less stimulation medication for donors. I don't know that our clinic did that for sure, but our donor was only 22 and had only 13 eggs for our cycle and a similar number for the previous cycle with another family. Our fresh SET failed, but I have twins from the frozen cycle (after the bfn on the fresh I didn't want to take any chances). What I am coming to realize is that an embryo, even one created from a very young egg, is a pretty fragile thing and the majority of them don't make it. When you are paying so much and have gone through so much soul searching and struggle to get here, you want the cycle to succeed and of course we hope the chances are much greater than with our own eggs. Statistically that is true, but so many women here have been trying for a long time and you just have to wonder what is really going on, even with a young donor, to not have pregnancies happen more easily. I really wish you luck moving forward. I would definitely ONLY use a young, proven donor. How old was your friend?

I have a Olympus FE 190 Camera. After a couple of pictures the battery reads red and I can take the battery out and put it back in again and it reads green. I thought maybe I have a problem with the battery so I bought a generic battery for this camera charged it up and the camera doesn't turn on. So I bought an olympus battery, charged it up and put it in and the camera still doesn't work. the only battery that kind of works is the original battery the camera came with.

Olympus FE-270 Hello, my daughter dropped her Olympus FE-270 and it won't work properly ow. It seems to take photos indoors but if you take an outdoor photo the screen turns white like it's over exposed and now when you turn the power button on the lens moves in and out but then it turns itself off. I have tried recharging the batteries to test if the problem is with the batteries, but it makes no difference. It's about 6 months old, do you think it can be repaired? Thanks Robyn

Twice recently, I ordered an OEM battery model LI-42B on-line, but both times, after fully charging the battery, the camera does not operate properly with the replacement battery. Once the camera would not turn on, the other time I was able to take only 2 pictures, then the camera would not retract the lens. Have other people had similar problems with OEM batteries? How can I be sure to get a battery that will work with the camera? My camera model is Olympus Stylus 7010 12 megapixel.

Any ideas appreciated as it's a great camera when working. Thanks

Now, however, I?ve had no low-battery warning light and one minute the camera was working, the next it had stopped.

Olympus x-840 digital camera. Hi, there is a problem with the battery life; fully charged batteries seem to be exhausted after only a dozen or so pictures. The battery indicator plunging from a full set of greens to a single red and then the camera refusing to turn on. Then after taking the batteries out and re-inserting them everything seems fine again for the next few shots - and then the same cycle of events plays out again...

23 Psalm Part Ii "I Shall Not Be In Want" Series
Contributed by Brad Henry on Aug 2, 2011 (message contributor)
Summary: "I Shall Not Be In Want". Now this is a topic that we could write books on. Wants and needs or needs and wants. A lot of times we get confused what our real needs are compared to our wants. Let's look at the definition of both as defined by Dictionary.com
"I Shall Not Be In Want". Now this is a topic that we could write books on. Wants and needs or needs and wants. A lot of times we get confused what our real needs are compared to our wants. Let's look at the definition of both as defined by Dictionary.com
Want - to wish, need, crave, demand, or desire
Need - a lack of something wanted or deemed necessary
We can see that the main difference between a want and a need is a "want" is a desire and a "need" is necessary. We get in a lot of trouble in this life when our wants overtake our needs. The first verse of Psalm 23 says
Psalm 23:1 "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want"
This means that IF the Lord is truly our shepherd then we will not want for anything. This is because our desire will be for the things of God and not earthly desires. Now this is an easy statement but tough to live out. I believe that this is why God directed me to this passage. If we are to live a spirit filled, joyful life we need to know how to let God be our shepherd. Have you ever spent most of your waking hours spending all your resources wanting something? You want it so badly that you put off everything else just to get it. Then when you do get it, it lacks the luster that it once held so dearly in your heart. That is because what we thought was a need was a want. So how do we determine what we need in this world?
No matter how independent you are or you think you are you need a shepherd. You need Jesus not just as Savior but as Lord of your life. Having Jesus as your Savior means that you have put your faith in Jesus for eternal life and you will spend eternity in heaven with Him. But in this world we still have a choice who we will follow. We will be sinful even though we are saved till we enter heaven. Each day our soul struggles with sin. If Jesus is not Lord of our life then those desires will flood our soul and our flesh will be corrupted. We will start living for self instead of the One who created us.
I don't know the mind of a sheep but we learned yesterday that they are not intelligent nor do they possess good eyesight. They need led. WE need led. But while our head may say "Lead me Jesus" our heart can be far from that statement. We still want what we want. My wife Julie always tells me that most people don't mind being a servant they just don't want to be treated like a servant. But that is the very essence of what Jesus did. Jesus could have come to this world and been an earthly King. He could have led a lavish lifestyle and lived for eternity on this earth being served. But Jesus had to die as a sacrifice (a horrible and humiliating death on a cross) so we could inherit eternal life. Without Jesus paying the price for us we would not have any chance of eternal life.
So today I would ask you, what are you doing with your life? Is it full of storing up treasure for yourself and wanting the next thing? Or is your life about giving to others as Jesus has done for you? Your life will not be complete on this earth till you are willing to be a loving servant and willing to be treated like one also. I know a number of people who go and serve in a soup kitchen or shelter but they are the first to tell everyone what they do for a living. They want everyone to know that they don't live there, that they are self sufficient and have worth in what they do, not in who they are in Jesus. That is not serving that is self serving.

FARA WILLIAMS will be the only Liverpool player shooting for World Cup glory in Canada - after striker Natasha Dowie and defender Gemma Bonner were shock omissions from coach Mark Sampson's England Women's squad.
Sampson set England Women the target of winning the World Cup after naming his 23-player squad for the upcoming tournament in Canada.
But they will have to do it without Dowie and Bonner, along with Manchester City left-back Demi Stokes.
There was strong competition particularly among his strikers, and Sampson could not find space for Dowie as he selected six frontline players in Eni Aluko, Toni Duggan, Jodie Taylor, Fran Kirby, Lianne Sanderson and Ellen White.
Sampson said: "This is a hugely exciting time for all the staff and players.
"We're ranked sixth in the world, we are a good team and we've got some exceptional players. We've got a very compact, resolute unit and we've got a real togetherness in the group so we'll certainly be a difficult opponent for anyone in Canada.
"I think as a group of staff we're very clear about the direction we want to take the team in during the tournament and hopefully the players can pull together.
"With this group in particular we have a large number of players who have performed very well and contributed to get this team to where it is now.
"The ambition is to go to Canada and win the competition but we've got to treat every game like a final."
England captain Steph Houghton said: "We've all worked so hard to get here. We can't wait to get started."
There are eight World Cup newcomers in the squad, Lucy Bronze, Duggan, Kirby, Alex Greenwood, Jade Moore, vice-captain Jordan Nobbs, Jo Potter and Taylor.
However contrastingly eight players will be competing at a World Cup for the third time, in Siobhan Chamberlain, Alex Scott, former captain Casey Stoney, Jill Scott, Fara Williams, Aluko, Karen Carney and Katie Chapman.
Mother-of-two Chapman is included after being recently recalled from the international wilderness by Sampson, having been frozen out, as Sanderson also was, after a breakdown in her relationship with former boss Hope Powell.
England begin their campaign against France in Moncton on June 9, before tackling Mexico in the same city four days later and ending their Group F campaign in Montreal's Olympic Stadium against Colombia on June 17.
Sampson's previously stated aim was to reach at least the semi-finals, which is further than England Women, three times quarter-finalists, have ever gone before.
Squad: Karen Bardsley (Manchester City), Siobhan Chamberlain (Arsenal), Carly Telford (Notts County); Alex Scott (Arsenal), Laura Bassett (Notts County), Claire Rafferty (Chelsea), Steph Houghton (Manchester City), Lucy Bronze (Manchester City), Alex Greenwood (Notts County), Casey Stoney (Arsenal); Fara Williams (Liverpool), Jill Scott (Manchester City), Jordan Nobbs (Arsenal), Karen Carney (Birmingham), Jade Moore (Birmingham), Katie Chapman (Chelsea), Jo Potter (Birmingham); Eni Aluko (Chelsea), Lianne Sanderson (Arsenal), Toni Duggan (Manchester City), Fran Kirby (Reading), Jodie Taylor (Portland Thorns), Ellen White (Notts County).

Divers search Philippine ferry for dozens missingAugust 17, 2013
CEBU, Philippines - Divers combed through a sunken ferry Saturday in search of passengers missing after a collision with a cargo vessel near the central Philippine port of Cebu that sent passengers jumping into the ocean and leaving many others trapped. At least 31 were confirmed dead and hundreds rescued.

The captain of the ferry MV Thomas Aquinas ordered the ship abandoned when it began listing and then sank just minutes after collision late Friday with the MV Sulpicio Express Siete, coast guard deputy chief Rear Adm. Luis Tuason said.
Transportation and Communications Secretary Joseph Abaya announced official passenger figures following confusion over the actual number of people on the ferry.
171 missing
To read this article in one of Houston's most-spoken languages, click on the button below.
He said the ferry carried 831 people - 715 passengers and 116 crew - fewer than the numbers given earlier by the coast guard and ferry owner, 2Go. He said the death toll has risen to 31 with 629 rescued.
There were foreigners on board "but they are all OK," except for a New Zealand citizen who was in a hospital, Abaya said.
Cebu coast guard chief Cmdr. Weniel Azcuna said 171 were listed as missing, but the figure would go down once the number of crew members who have been rescued are officially counted.
Tuason said some of the missing could still be trapped inside the vessel that sank in waters about 100 feet deep off Talisay city in Cebu province, 350 miles south of Manila.
Tuason said navy divers recovered at least four bodies early Saturday. Reporters at the site, about 1.25 miles from shore, saw the bodies coated with fuel and oil that spilled from the ferry.
In a statement, 2Go said the ferry "was reportedly hit" by the cargo vessel "resulting in major damage that led to its sinking."
An investigation will begin after the rescue operation, the coast guard said.
Abaya said the cargo vessel smashed into the right side near the rear of the ferry, which was coming from Nasipit in Agusan del Sur province in the southern Philippines and making a short stop in Cebu before proceeding to Manila.
"I guess it hit the ferry at a very vulnerable point, probably at its water line or below the water line so that it did not take long for it to sink," he said.
Survivor's story
One of the survivors, Jenalyn Labanos, 31, said the ferry quickly tilted to its side after the impact and sank about 20 minutes later.
She said the crash threw her and two companions to the floor of a ship restaurant followed by the lights going out.
"People panicked and the crew later handed out life vests and used their flashlights to guide us out of the ship but they could not control the passengers because the ship was already tilting," she said.
She said she suffered bruises on her hands and feet as she grabbed a rope on the side of the vessel before jumping into the water.

Congressman Steve Scalise today issued the following statement after the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEM) announced that it will hold the first oil and natural gas lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico since the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
"While today's announcement is a step in the right direction, this much-delayed lease sale is no substitute for an all-of-the-above energy strategy that allows us to utilize all of our natural resources to create millions of American jobs and eliminate our dependence on Middle Eastern oil," Scalise said. "Nor does this decision reverse the damage that's already been done by President Obama's permitorium that has led to more than 13,000 jobs lost along the Gulf Coast alone.
"For months now we've been pushing the Obama Administration to hold this lease sale, and I helped pass a bill through the House months ago that would have forced them to do just that, but the Administration continued to drag its feet and delay action resulting in higher gas prices at the pump and an increased dependence on Middle Eastern oil, jeopardizing America's energy security in the process. President Obama needs to reverse his radical policies, including his reckless permitorium on drilling that has led to the loss of 13,000 American jobs, and he needs to work with those of us in Congress who continue pressing for an all-of-the-above energy strategy that puts people back to work exploring safely for energy off our coast and ends our dependence on Middle Eastern oil."
The lease sale will take place in December of 2011 and encompasses about 3,900 un-leased blocks covering approximately 20.6 million acres.
