Land Rover is pleased to announce it will be sponsoring the 2014 Tusk Conservation Award. Tusk select three up-and-coming conservationists whose work has already demonstrated an exceptional commitment to conservation and provide one individual with a grant of £15,000.
This work can take place within the spheres of protecting endangered species or threatened habitat, promotion of environmental education and the development of community-driven conservation.
Last year's winner, Tom Lalampaa said, "The award has been well received in Kenya by everyone from the British High Commission to the village elders in the communities I work with. The award was not about me, it was about the incredible people I work with and the Northern Rangelands Trust.
"I was extremely inspired by the work of my fellow finalists last year and I applaud their commitments and achievements. I hope these awards will continue to inspire a new generation of future Conservation leaders in Africa and across the world."
The shortlisted nominees for the 2014 Tusk Award for Conservation in Africa are as follows:
Amy Dickman (Tanzania)
Amy has achieved vital conservation successes in one of Africa's most carnivore-rich environments by working alongside local communities to reduce intense conflict with the region's lion population.
Ruaha Carnivore Project
David Kuria (Kenya)
David is a true grassroots conservationist, having created and steered The Kijabe Environment Volunteers (KENVO), a community-based forum, over the past decade.
KENVO Kenya
Herizo Andrianandrasana (Madagascar)
Herizo is a driving force behind the integration of local people into conservation management and monitoring in Madagascar, leads programmes across seven globally important conservation areas, four forest and three wetland sites, with a combined surface area of 3,500 km2.

Yesterday I participated in The Friends Seminary Meal-A-Thon. The community (students, faculty, staff, administration and families) gathered in the cafeteria to make bag lunches (sandwiches, fruit, desert, drink) for people who are currently homeless on Staten Island due to Sandy. The energy was intense and great. Two hours of the afternoon had been set aside but so many people showed up that we filled every bag within about 45 minutes. The scene in these pictures may look a bit chaotic but it wasn't. It was just filled to the rim with enthusiasm. The community also collected several hundred blankets to donate to a shelter in Chelsea that has light but no heat.
Saturday a number of the parents and High School and Middle School students will be going to Staten Island to set up pop up food stations and help residents clean the debris from their homes and streets.
Then I walked outside to go to my Photoshop class:

Common Walking Missteps
These little missteps may be hurting your walking workout. Here's how to correct them.
You talk — rather than walk — a mile a minute.
Although hitting the pavement with a partner is a great motivator, if you spend the entire time chatting, you may be doing more harm than good, says Ralph Stokes, DC, a chiropractor with the Texas Back Institute in Dallas. Talking while exercising not only puts your posture at risk (turning your head causes excessive neck strain and a forward lean in posture), but it also reduces oxygen intake, making you fatigue more quickly. Save the conversation for warm-up and cool-down phases.
You think stretching is a waste of time.
"Stretching is an excellent way to cool down, rebalance your body, and alleviate muscle strain," explains Beth Shaw, founder of YogaFit, Inc., a yoga-centered training company based in southern California. Walking stresses the lower back and tightens the hamstrings and hips, says Shaw. "If you don't stretch, muscles can shorten, resulting in injuries." Lie flat on your back. Bend your right leg and rotate it to the left. Look over your right shoulder and breathe. Repeat on the other side.
You always go the same distance.
Look for ways to increase your daily number of steps, advises James O. Hill, PhD, founder of America on the Move and a professor at the University of Colorado in Denver. "The more you walk, the more apt you are to maintain a healthy body weight." Grab a pedometer and strive to take 2,000 more steps daily, working toward a goal of at least 10,000 a day. Hill suggests: Return the shopping cart to the store and use the upstairs bathroom when you're hanging out downstairs and vice versa.
You sometimes forget to take a walk.
"Make walking a healthy obsession," says Dan Kirschenbaum, PhD, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago. "There are certain patterns and habits we've ingrained into our lives — for instance, if we don't brush our teeth, we don't feel ready to go to bed." If you start walking regularly, you won't feel satisfied until you've completed your route each day.
You don't bother to schedule it in.
You know you should add exercise to your daily planner, but you just haven't gotten around to it. "Decide when you're going to walk the night before," says Kirschenbaum. "Commitments are easier to stick to when the 'doing' part is some time away." So pull out your walking shoes before bed and make sure a water bottle is in the fridge, and the next morning the "should I or shouldn't I?" debate won't happen.

UnNews:Paris Hilton gets girlfriends pregnant
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
9 May 2010
Hollywood, CA -- The bizarre incident that had doctors baffled for weeks has finally had some light shed on the matter. An unusual story of two lesbian women falling pregnant to the millionaire play-girl Paris Hilton. The mystery of the two females, who are remaining nameless at this point, fell pregnant at the exact same time. What baffled doctors for weeks after the two girls visited the Doc Hollywood practice at the Beverly Hills Mall earlier this year, was how they came to be knocked up.
The two girls entered the practice, complaining of what was soon discovered to be morning sickness, according to Dr. Nickerbocker, the girl's general practitioner who attended the visit. He also said, "It was quite baffling to discover that these two women were a couple of donut-bumpers. They solemnly swore that they had not encountered any heterosexual activities to land them in this kind of position!".
The mystery of the bizarre pregnancies was solved last week, discovering that the two women had engaged in a sexual threeway act, involving Paris Hilton. In the past month prior to the event at hand, Paris had sucked so much dick that twelve milliliters of semen was still lodged between her teeth at the time of the lesbian encounter. It is now confirmed that while Paris was giving oral pleasure to both the women, the semen had dislodged itself from her oral-incubator, and dripped inside the two lady's vagina's, causing them to fall pregnant at the
hands mouth of Paris.
Paris Hilton was later interviewed saying, "Oops, I did it again", which would probably be funny, if Paris was Britney Spears. However Paris has never been one to understand a joke, being that she was always found as the punchline.

The Hague Transavia Grand Slam | 15 - 20 July 2014
The Hague, The Netherlands, July 15, 2014 - Top-seeded Fernanda Alves and Taiana Lima "avoided" an upset bid by the Nystrom twins of Finland as the Brazilians led eight women's teams in advancing here Tuesday to the Main Draw of the US$1-million Transavia Grand Slam presented by Bas Van de Goor Foundation.
With the Emilia and Erika Nystrom holding a 16-12 advantage in the second set of their match with the Brazilians after winning the first set 29-27, Fernanda's hitting and blocking took over the match. Fernanda and Lima won the second set 21-18 and captured the third and deciding set 15-13 to win the 58-minute match to secure a spot in Wednesday's opening "money" rounds.
Fourth-seeded Lane Carico and Brittany Hochevar could not "avoid" the upset as the American pair was eliminated by a score of 2-1 (21-19, 17-21 and 15-13) in 48 minutes by 13th-seeded Yuanyuan Ma and Xinyi Xia China. It was the second win Tuesday for the Chinese, who eliminated a team from Italy in their opening matches.
Unlike the men's qualifier Tuesday where six of the eight teams advancing to the Transavia Grand Slam were "unexpected" due to seed-break-throughs led by pairs from The Netherlands and Italy, the Chinese upset of Carico and Hochevar was the only women's break-through.
Also winning as expected Tuesday and advancing to the Main Draw in the 10th FIVB World Tour event for women this season were second-seeded Ana Gallay/Georgina Klug of Argentina, third-seeded Julia Grossner/Chantal Laboureur of Germany, fifth-seeded Alexandra Moiseeva/Ekaterina Syrtseva of Russia, sixth-seeded Monika Brzostek/Kinga Kolosinska Poland, seventh-seeded Tatyana Mashkova/Irina Tsimbalova of Kazakhstan and eighth-seeded Tanja Goricanec/Tanja Huberli of Switzerland.
The Transavia Grand Slam, a "prelude" to the 2015 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships, will be played at three sites on Wednesday and Thursday where pool play matches will be held at The Hague Beach Stadium and the Scheveningen side courts along with competition in Amsterdam and Apeldoorn.
The Netherlands will have three teams competing in Wednesday's opening pool play matches led by 2014 European Champions Madelein Meppelink and Marleen Van Iersel. Other host country women's teams in the Main Draw of the Transavia Grand Slam are Rimke Braakman/Jantine van der Vlist and Sanne Keizer/Sophie van Gestel.
The action for the final three days of the competition will be solely at the Scheveningen courts where the medal matches will be played Sunday. The final two teams in both gender's competition with be competing for the gold medals and a share of the $70,000 first-place prize for each winning team.
Following this week's event, the FIVB World Tour returns to the United States for the second-straight year as Long Beach in southern California hosts another $1-million event. The international circuit returns to European in August for stops in Austria (Klagenfurt, July 29-August 3) and Poland (Stare Jablonki, August 19-24).

The U.S. missile defense system can't be relied on to hit its targets even in scripted tests a decade after it was declared operational and despite $40 billion spent, according to a newspaper's investigation.
The Los Angeles Times found that officials overstated the reliability of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system, or GMD.
The missile shield system was supposed to protect Americans from attacks by "rogue states" like North Korea and Iran, but it has failed in half of the tests conducted to determine its ability to intercept a mock enemy warhead. In fact, despite years of vows to fix technical shortcomings, the system's performance has grown worse since testing began in 1999.
Dean A. Wilkening, a physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, has called the system's test record abysmal.
He served on a National Academy of Sciences panel that issued a 2011 report on missile defense and said at a May 28 policy conference in Washington, D.C., that GMD was a "prototype system" that "performed less well than people had hoped" and "one shouldn't be too surprised that it does tend to fail more than you'd like."
Philip E. Coyle III, who was the Pentagon's director of operational testing and evaluation from 1994 to 2001 and oversaw several early test flights, said that even successful tests should be viewed skeptically because conditions are staged.
"The tests are scripted for success," Coyle said. "What's amazing to me is that they still fail."
Another test is scheduled at California's Vandenberg Air Force Base later this month. The system has 30 interceptors including four at Vandenberg and 26 at Fort Greely in Alaska.
Instead of rigorously testing the system, it was rushed into the field in 2002 under President George W. Bush. The Obama administration now supports expanding it by deploying 14 new interceptors at Fort Greely by late 2017.
A Missile Defense Agency spokesman said in a statement the agency was working to improve its reliability. The agency's director Vice Adm. James D. Syring told a Senate subcommittee last week that the underlying problems in two recent flight-test failures had been identified and already fixed or would be fixed by year's end.
Boeing spokesman Dexter Q. Henson said the company "remains confident in the system's ability to defeat potential adversaries."

I just went to my first Annapolis Quilt Guild meeting last night and I had a really good time! Enough so that I decided to commit and join, at any rate. I'm extremely new to both sewing and quilting, having only touched a sewing machine for the first time in 2010. I'm also much younger than the regular crowd at 23. Regardless, I was made to feel very welcome by the people who took time to explain the ropes and I look forward to participating in further guild activities!
The concept of the quilting bees particularly interests me. There are two that I could attend, one just a few minutes away from home and one right by my Nanna's house. What do you guys generally do at a quilting bee? What do you bring? What do you find makes things go more smoothly?

Effective December 1, 2010, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 will provide new protections and specifications for draft expert reports and certain communications between experts and attorneys. The amendments are significant because they extend work-product protection to communications and drafts that courts now consider discoverable. Current Rule 26(a)(2)(B) requires a testifying expert to disclose in a written report all "data or other information" the expert "considered" in developing his or her opinions. Courts have interpreted that language, and particularly the Rule's reference to "other information," to allow discovery of draft expert reports, a broad range of communications between experts and counsel, and documents an expert does not rely upon as a basis for his or her testimony. The 2010 amendments substantially alter these disclosure obligations by: (1) limiting the required disclosures in written expert reports to "facts or data" the expert considered in forming the opinions the expert will express in his testimony; (2) expressly shielding from discovery draft reports or disclosures required under Rule 26(a)(2); and (3) limiting discovery of communications between a party's attorney and any witness required to provide a Rule 26(a)(2)(B) report unless the communications fall within at least one of three enumerated exceptions.
THIS IS NOT Intended to Be Construed or Relied upon as COMPETENT LEGAL ADVICE—Readers are urged to obtain competent legal representation to review their facts. I am not an attorney and this is not legal advice.

CLEVELAND, Miss.—The Birmingham-Southern swimming and diving teams had another record-setting day at the Delta State Christmas Invitational on Sunday, as six school records fell at the DSU Aquatics Center in Cleveland, Miss.
Sophomore Hannah Busk brok the 100 fly record with a time of 59.19, placing 11th, while sophomore Molly Waddell broke the 200 free record with a time of 1:57.43, also finishing 11th.
For the men, sophomore Duncan Bonney continued to break school records (after doing it twice on Saturday), breaking the 100 breast record twice today with a 56.57 in the preliminaries and a 55.89 in the finals. His time in the finals was an NCAA qualifying time and also is the fourth-fastest 100 breast in NCAA Division III so far this season. Bonney also led the 800 freestyle relay team, which posted an NCAA national cut time with 1:41.27. Additionally, sophomore Drew Priede placed seventh in the 200 free with a time of 1:43.14.
In diving action, senior Cody Spradlin broke the three-meter record, placing fourth with a score of 422.00.
The teams are in action for one more day tomorrow before taking a break for the holidays. The Panthers will resume on Jan. 11, 2014, hosting Rhodes and Darton State at the Birmingham CrossPlex.

Jerry Sandusky Scandal
'Death penalty' for Nittany Lions could devastate local economy
Betsey Howell fears the so-called "death penalty" against Penn State football would have consequences similar to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Howell, executive director of the Central Pennsylvania Convention and Visitors Bureau, said much like the oil spill, canceling the Penn State football season would create a "trickle-down effect" that would hurt tourism and drastically impact local restaurants, stores and hotels.
"Football season is our beach season," she said.
Howell, like many other local residents and business owners, worries major sanctions against the Penn State football program in light of the recent Freeh report's findings would lead to job losses, downsizing and plummeting revenue for Centre County. The report found that Penn State administrators covered up some of convicted pedophile Jerry Sandusky's crimes.
NCAA President Mark Emmert, in a recent PBS interview, said he does not "want to take anything off the table" with regard to Penn State, including the "death penalty" for the football program.
Downtown Improvement District Executive Director George Arnold said canceling the football season and the accompanying loss of tourism would severely affect Centre County's economy.
Arnold said football weekends are the main way businesses get back on track after summers when students leave the area.
"If (businesses) do not have the thousands of people that converge in State College on a football weekend, it would severely affect the downtown," he said. "We could see a drastically different landscape downtown."
In 2009, Penn State football brought more than $90 million to the county, according to a study done by the Pittsburgh-based Tripp Umbach firm for the university. A decade before, another study calculated football's annual windfall to be about $83 million.
"That portion of what the university brings to the community is extremely important," said Vern Squier, president of the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County.
Mike Desmond, owner of Hotel State College and Co., said the loss of a football season would harm not only businesses, but the students as well.
"It would be devastating to the local economy. It would be devastating for the students. And it would be devastating to the university's mission of serving the students," he said.
Hotel State College and Co. owns several downtown businesses, including the Corner Room, Bill Pickle's Tap Room, Zeno's Pub and the Indigo club.
Howell said the economic consequencs of no football could be "dire" and dramatically alter the way businesses are run.
"You have to look at the bigger picture," she said. "If a local business owner is not making money he is going to have to let employees go."
And that could be the reality at places like the Student Book Store.
General Manager John Lindo said the loss of Penn State football for an extended period of time would almost certainly result in company downsizing and fewer employees.
Lindo estimated that SBS sells about 60 percent of its apparel and gift merchandise during football weekends — revenue that makes up the majority of the company's business.
"The entire downtown relies on those seven or eight weekends to get through the year," he said.
He added that there is no way to know for certain how big the impact would be without football. But he predicts it would be "pretty huge."
Penn State football directly and indirectly created 1,731 jobs in Centre County in 2009, according to the Tripp Umbach report.
Even if local residents, who may avoid a crowded downtown State College during those weekends, make a concerted effort to shop, that would not help enough to offset the losses incurred by businesses, Arnold said.
"Ten thousand people making a conscious effort going out to shop downtown can't replace the 100,000 people coming down on a football weekend," he said.
But downtown State College would not be the only area affected by revenue losses.
Gary Hoover, executive director of the Bellefonte Intervalley Area Chamber of Commerce, said even 10 miles away from Beaver Stadium his town is crowded on those weekends.
"People come into Centre County from all over the country," he said. "The traffic is tied out clear to Harrisburg. We get lots and lots and lots of visitors."
Though Hoover said the sanction would create a "very large impact" on the whole county's economy, he does not think any Bellefonte businesses would have to close as a result.
Representatives of several State College businesses, including the downtown Waffle Shop, Lion's Pride and Nittany Beverage, declined to comment for this story. Some local hotel owners did not return requests for comment.
Pat Daugherty, the owner of the Tavern Restaurant in State College, said he's more concerned about the fortunes of his 15 full-time employees and his 80 Penn State student employees than he is about any lost business profits.
If he had to shrink his staff because football disappeared, students who depend on their wages to go to school would suffer, Daugherty said.
"It would obviously hurt the kids," he said.
And that, for him, is the bottom line. Other Penn State teams rely on football for financial support. Student organizations draw on stadium crowds for fundraising. Take all that away, he said, and blameless people pay the price.
"The whole reason we're here is because of the students," Daugherty said. "That's why Penn State exists; that's why the town exists. They're kids, too, and we have to take care of them."
Like many State College residents and businesses, Arnold still hopes that the NCAA does not punish the current football team, and instead leaves it up to the justice system to hand out the necessary penalties to the individuals involved.
"We're hopeful that the NCAA will not penalize the university and the town of State College and so many others for the actions of a few," Arnold said.

The Mars Curiosity rover will take a spring break after months of exploration that must be placed on hold because of the sun's alignment between the red planet and Earth -- a planet-sun sandwich that can interfere with commands scientists send to the rover.
Engineers will place a planned moratorium on transmitting commands to the rover -- a precaution to prevent commands from being corrupted before they reach Curiosity. The command blackout will be in effect through April.
The Curiosity will remain stationary and spend most of the month studying its immediate surroundings in Gale crater.
Earth and Mars line up on opposite sides of the sun about every two years. The "planetary conjunction" means charged particles could interfere with data sent between Earth and Mars.
Incomplete or corrupted data isn't a major problem for information sent from Mars to Earth, but if a command from Earth is corrupted by the sun's charged particles, it can then confuse the rover.
The break comes after seven months of exploration and equipment tests involving the rover's complex instruments. Those tools were used to study soil samples that showed conditions on Mars were once suited for life -- the most significant discovery since Curiosity's dramatic Aug. 5 landing in Gale crater.
Click on the image at right to view Curiosity's travels.
The rover team also discovered evidence of a stream that once flowed on Mars' surface, another important revelation during the two-year mission to investigate whether areas in Gale Crater have ever offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life.
Curiosity was built at Southern California's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech that manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA.

Vietnamese Grilled Chicken with Vermicelli Noodles (Bun Ga Nuong)
09.29.10 by Jackie
Bún gà nướng xả is a fabulous and simple meal. It's perfect for when the weather's hot, and as you may have heard, California is experiencing quite a hot spell at the moment. Vietnamese grilled chicken marinated in soy sauce and lemongrass is served with vermicelli rice noodles, a few vegetables and Vietnamese dipping sauce (nước mắm) on the side.
In my opinion, what makes the dish is the marinade for the chicken. The sweetness from palm sugar and the spiciness from the lemongrass bring out the flavor of the meat. The chicken doesn't require a lot of preparation; just let the chicken marinate for an hour and you'll have a splendid meal in no time.

Breastfeeding - Health And Other Factors
Breastfeeding is often a positive and rewarding experience for mothers, though it may also be challenging or difficult, particularly at first. A breastfeeding mother must continue to take care of her baby and herself, as she did during her pregnancy.
Mom's Nutrition
In general, lactating women should get nutrients from a well-balanced, varied diet, rather than from vitamin and mineral supplements. Eat generous amounts of fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads and cereals, calcium-rich dairy products, and protein-rich foods (meats, fish, and legumes). Make sure you are getting enough calories.
Breastfeeding Daily Food Guide
This is just a general guideline, and you may need to eat more than this based on your size and activity level.
Drink Fluids
Nursing mothers need enough fluids to stay hydrated -- most experts recommend drinking enough fluids to satisfy thirst. Eight 8-ounce servings (64 ounces) of fluid such as water, milk, juice, or soup is a good goal, but be careful not to drink too much juice as this tends to be a sugar-rich but nutrient-poor source of fluid.
Mom's Foods
Breastfeeding mothers can safely eat any foods they like. Some foods may flavor the breast milk, but babies rarely react to this. If your baby is fussy after you eat a certain food, try avoiding that food for a while, then try it again later to see if it is a problem.
Don't limit your diet excessively. Make sure you are getting enough nutrition for yourself and your baby. If you become overly concerned about foods or spices causing problems, try to remember that entire countries and cultures have diets that contain foods that are extremely spicy. In these cultures, the mothers nurse their infants without problems.
It is possible that some highly allergenic foods (strawberries, peanuts) may be passed into breast milk, increasing the risk of a later food allergy in the baby. If there is a strong history of food allergies in your family, discuss this with your pediatrician.
Caffeine, Alcohol, and Smoking
A nursing mother can safely consume moderate amounts of caffeine (equal to 1 to 2 cups of coffee per day) without causing harm to her baby. But any more caffeine than that may cause agitation and difficulty sleeping for your baby.
Since alcohol has been found in human milk and can interfere with the milk ejection reflex, it's better not to drink alcohol and nurse your baby at the same time. It takes about 3 hours to clear the alcohol from a single drink (1 oz of liquor, 12 oz of beer or 5 oz of wine) from your system. A couple of glasses of wine per week is generally acceptable, but try to time your drinking to immediately follow a feeding. This way most of the alcohol will be out of your system before you need to feed again.
If you are a smoker, this is a great time to quit for yourself and for your baby. Nicotine and other chemicals from cigarettes are found in breast milk. If you are unable to quit, try to limit the number of cigarettes as much as possible, change to a brand with low nicotine, and visit your doctor regularly. If you can't quit, it's worth knowing that one large study suggests moms who smoke and breastfeed have healthier babies than moms who pump and bottle feed. Of course, you should also be careful to avoid smoking around your baby to prevent lung injury from second-hand smoke.
Drugs In Human Milk
Many medications (prescription and over-the-counter medications) will pass into the mother's milk. Most of them are safe, but check with your pediatrician before taking any medications. Do NOT stop taking any prescribed medication without speaking first to your doctor.
The American Academy of Pediatrics' Committee on Drugs releases a periodic statement with a list of drugs and their compatibility with breastfeeding. Your obstetrician and pediatrician are both likely to be familiar with this publication and can answer your concerns about breastfeeding while taking medications.
Lactation Amenorrhea
Most breastfeeding women do not have normal menstrual periods in the first few months after their baby is born. This is called lactation amenorrhea. Although the risk of pregnancy is less for a woman who is breastfeeding and hasn't yet gotten her period, pregnancy CAN occur during this time. Breastfeeding should not be used for contraception, since failure is likely.
Birth Control
Birth control choice should be discussed with your health care provider. Barrier methods (condom, diaphragm), progesterone contraceptives (oral or injectable), and IUDs have all been shown to be safe and effective. Combination progesterone/estrogen contraception is generally not started until the milk supply is established, usually at 4 weeks postpartum.
Estrogen-containing birth control methods are not recommended for breastfeeding women after delivery, because they may affect milk supply.
Getting Pregnant
Women can get pregnant while they breastfeed, although some women will find that their menstrual periods don't return while they are nursing. This is due to hormonal changes, which suppress ovulation. However, it is impossible to predict when ovulation and menstruation will resume. In fact, some women ovulate and conceive again before their period resumes.
Working Outside The Home
Mothers face unique obstacles in maintaining adequate milk supply once they return to work. With planning, commitment, and skilled use of a breast pump, breastfeeding mothers can maintain their milk supply and continue breastfeeding after returning to work.
A maternity leave is helpful for establishing your milk supply and breastfeeding skills before returning to work. Start stock-piling milk a few weeks before you go back to work, and store it in the freezer. Most women find they aren't able to pump as much as their baby needs in the first week back at work, and having extra milk in the freezer helps ease the transition.
Before your first day back, scout out places where you can pump at work. An ideal work place would provide a private room with a comfortable chair for breastfeeding moms. If you have your own office and can close the door, it's often easiest to pump there – just close the door and let your colleagues know to knock before they come in. If you don't have that kind of privacy, see if you can borrow a colleague's office, or find an unused conference room or office. If all else fails, you can resort to a folding chair in a bathroom stall, but explore other options first.
For efficiency, your best bet is to get a double electric pump. These are more expensive, but they allow you to pump both breasts in 10 to 20 minutes, allowing you to get back to work – and, ultimately, home to your baby – much more quickly!
To simplify your life, buy several sets of pump parts and bring them to work in plastic bags. That way, you won't have to wash and dry pump parts during the day.
Maintaining Your Milk Supply
Here are some tips which have worked well with many breastfeeding mothers who work an 8-hour day outside the home:
Breast Pumps
There are a number of breast pumps on the market, with varying degrees of comfort, efficiency, and cost. Most require time to develop the skills to use them. Pumps may be hand-operated (manual), battery, or electrically-operated.
The most dependable, efficient, and comfortable pumps are electric, have intermittent action (creates and releases suction automatically), pump both breasts at once, and require minimal training.
When you start using a pump, remember that this is not a "no pain, no gain" situation. If you've adjusted the pump setting so that you are in pain, you won't get more milk – you will just get bruised nipples!
Your local lactation consultant can help you make realistic plans and guide you to a supportive breast pump supplier.

Claymore: A Feminist Review on a Popular Manga Series
The first thing a person who has never read manga would ask is: What's manga? At best, they would follow that question with something like, "what kind of book is it?" At worst the question might just go like, "how do you eat it?" But before we wander off about the second question, let's answer the first.
What's manga?
"Manga is a huge and lucrative business considered one of the most important Japanese cultural exports to the world today" (Ito, 2). Just like the United States, per say, has exported its culture through movies or t.v. series, japan has exported its culture through graphic-novel-like books which are widely read in Japan as well as around the world.
Just like the Marvel Comics (to name one) is widely popular in the United States, so it's manga in Japan. In fact, manga is so popular among the Japanese people that it is purchased by anyone regardless of their age, education and social classes (Ueno, 1).
However, there are a few differences between [the Japanese] manga and [the American] comics and the main one, I would argue, would be that comics in the United States deal with more superhero-plots (think Spiderman, Hulk, Ironman) than any other plot. Manga, however, goes beyond the superhero-plot. And the proof of this is that manga is not just a book "type" but an umbrella that covers different genres depending on the targeted audience. Shojo manga, for example, " is targeted primarily at girls from elementary school through high school, with themes like romantic love, and other themes such as fantasies, mysteries and so forward" (Ueno, 1). Ladies manga, on the other hand, "aims predominantly at adult women, dealing with things such as love, career, mother-child relations, divorce, among others (Ueno, 1). Claymore is considered a Shonen manga, which is a type of manga that targets male audience. Among the main themes that will always be found in a Shonen manga is action. And Claymore is full of it.
Introduction: Claymore, The Manga Series
Claymore is a "fantasy-horror manga written and illustrated by Norihiro Yagi" (Whittle, n.p.). The series are placed in a medieval world where electricity has yet to be discovered, so people mainly base their daily lives around candles, torches, carriages and foot-travels.
One recurring torment the people across towns have in common is that they are constantly hunted and eaten by monsters called Yoma who feed of human's guts (Whittle, n.p.).
No human can match these monsters' strength and, through unworldly experiments, an institution commonly referred in the series as "The Organization" discovered that, by inserting Yoma flesh into a person, that person can gradually match the monster's strength enough to defeat them. Once a Yoma's flesh has been inserted into a human body and once the human acquires these supernatural abilities, such people are considered to be "half-human and half-Yoma". This is because certain characteristics that a normal human would have, like the need to consume food for energy and the need to sleep for at least eight-hours for example, decreases while some of the characteristics of a Yoma, like super strength and rapid regeneration, increase. However, a downside of the experiment is that eventually every "half-human, half-Yoma", also known as Claymores, ends up becoming a Yoma. Thus the next target by any available Claymore.
It might be important to note that though man and woman alike can become a Claymore, only women are recruited by the Organization for they are able to last longer (than men) as a human before becoming a ruthless monster.
Claymore Analysis: Zooming in
For a girl reading these series it might feel empowering to know that women can and do pick up the swords to fight. In fact, this feeling might deepen each and every time a guy tries to step in to help a Claymore only to be put in his you-are-not-as-strong-as-me place when he realizes he is no match for neither the Yoma nor the Claymore.
However, there a key points a feminist magnifier would find conflicting with this series.
Key point #1: No diversity
Josh Viel writes, in his escapistmagazine.com article, "Now, the setting of Claymore isn't particularly unique: In a fantasy world modeled on – what else? – medieval Europe, an organization consisting almost entirely of tall, blond, female warriors who wield large Claymores hunt down demonic creatures known as "Yoma" to protect humans."
It wasn't really until Josh pointed this out that it dawned on me: every single one of these super-powerful, fast, and veracious monster-killing Claymore is Caucasian and blond! There is no space for diversity among them whatsoever, which could lead a female reader, who has paid attention to this detail like Josh, to get the wrong idea that only Caucasian, blond women can pick up a sword and fight.
The series blames this at one point during the series by saying that those are the effects of inserting Yoma flesh into a women, but then how come the Yomas are, for the most part, black-skinned and dark-haired?
Towards the end of the series, a new Claymore is introduced in the series and, unlike the rest, Alas! She is brunette (not much of a diversity) but then the kicker: she is not as strong and as powerful as the blond ones…
If one is to argue about the importance of gender equality within a piece of work, then one must also fight that within these "equalities" –within the genders itself— there must also be an internal balance in order for every reader (in this case every female reader) to feel that they can be strong regardless of their skin and hair color or complexity.
And a group of female warriors that share the same physical traits might not really provide such balance.
Key point #2 : Claymore, a Shonen Manga?
[addlink url="http://www.vizmanga.com" text="http://www.vizmanga.com"], a popular site to read manga, categorizes Claymore as Shonen. And as mentioned before, Shonen targets male-oriented audience. But, what does it mean when something [be it a manga volume, a book, a piece of poetry and the like] is said to be male-oriented? With so many diversities in sexual orientation, and with the constant changes in gender-roles, expectations and misconceptions, what exactly does "male-oriented manga" mean?
Nathaniel Bell, in his ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT ANIMATION article found in the examiner.com, says: "Overall, Claymore is an intriguing manga and decent anime. Finding a shonen with a female lead is rare enough but finding a story that can hold your interest isn't always as easily spotted either."
This brings to show that there has been a widely accepted idea that shonen is purely a male-ruled territory. With this in mind, then, I ask the question, if Claymore is truly a shonen manga, meaning that is meant to attract and entertain male readers, then why would it, like Nathaniel pointed out, portray women as the leaders of the series? Does it mean that Claymore is not a story meant to shine light onto usually silenced [female] voices when it comes to action manga, but that is meant to deepen our views that women, despite how strong Claymore warriors seem to be are, in the end, not as strong and powerful as men?
To explore this question, let us follow it up in the next key point.
Key point # 3: The symbolism behind becoming a Claymore
As stated above, within the series, Claymores are often referred as "half-human, half-yoma". And that is because these female warriors are inserted Yoma flesh into their bodies. It is important to point out that most of these teen girls who sign up for this transformation do it voluntarily. Claire, the main character of the series for example, volunteered to become a Claymore to avenge the death of Theresa, a female warrior that was killed by a Yoma. Priscila, a former Claymore warrior who later became the monster who killed Theresa, joined the organization to become a warrior
to avenge the death of her parents who were likewise killed by a Yoma.
Once Yoma flesh is put into their bodies, these girls go through lengthy physical training and fighting techniques until they are strong enough to leave the organization to hunt for Yomas. To emphasize, the very thing Claymores are trained to hunt and kill is, literally, half of the very thing they are.
So, the paradox that a woman becomes strong enough to fight a Yoma only when she is inserted the flesh of the very thing she hates and that is rejected by the society (the gut-feeders monsters) speaks volumes about the symbolism found within the series.
Across towns, whenever the word "Claymore" is said, it is usually followed by judgmental gasps. Fear, terror, horror, and disgust are among the common reaction that the town people have. And this is shown from the very first volume (or book 1) when Claire, the protagonist of the series, arrives for the first time at a town to kill a yoma. It is not her first kill, but for the majority of the town people, it is the first time they see a Claymore.
To the town people Claire is strong, but she is also a half-human, half-monster. She can protect the town by killing a Yoma, but that doesn't take the stigma that she is also a monster. As a claymore, Claire has sacrificed the rest of her life and her humanity to protect and save people from Yoma and this does not, for the rest of the civilian world, take the fact that she is to be feared. : Come, do what you have to do to kill the Yoma, and leave.
If, for a moment, we were to think that Yomas in the series represent a part of womanhood that is usually rejected by male-oriented readers, then how would that change your view of the series as a whole?
Yes, women who become Claymores do so voluntarily, but once a Claymore, these warriors are under the direct control of the organization. Leaving it means death.
So, in a nutshell: If you are a woman and you don't join them, you can be killed by a Yoma when taking a stroll on the city, or you can survive each encounter with a Yoma and always mourn your loved ones who weren't so lucky, or you can join them, and hunt Yomas until you become a Yoma yourself or until you get killed in one of these hunts…
Is that fair? Is it fair that Claymore are only strong when they become half of what they want to kill? By becoming half of what the world seems to be disgusted by?
Key Point # 4: Portrayal of the Gender Dynamics within the Claymore world
Throughout the series, Claymores encounter men and women across towns. And usually, women are portrayed either grocery shopping, or tending their houses. It could be that the series tried to portray what a medieval gender roles were like. And if so, does the attempt of a realistic reader experience justifies the reinforcement of the expected gender roles within society? The First volume in the series sets out the tone of the story. It explains what's going on, it introduces the main characters and their initial struggles within their world. However, the first volume also introduces us to many clues as to how women are portrayed within the series.
Let's take a look at the first town meeting the reader is taken to. This meeting, which is of importance to the entire town for another gutless body has appeared on the streets, pretty much summarizes how important women are in the decision-making process within the communities they live:
In case if you miss it, let me point it out: not one women is present in this town meeting! Now, take a look again at the image above and see if you can find any….
Even though women are a vital part of their community (by all the things they do in their households and for the community itself) they are not present at the meeting when the chief is making the big announcement that a Claymore is to visit the town to hunt the Yoma.
In fact, as the series progresses, the absence of women in important decision-making town meetings, goes to show just how women are, again, presented in the series.
Every Inn owner in the series, every businessman, every person who has power, be it in the churches, in the cities, in the communities, even in the Organization itself, is a man!
In other words, despite the increase in interest to see in comics magazines a reflection of women's consciousness-raising and their position both within and outside the house (Ogi, 4), Claymore still portrays a rather distant world where career women might not truly relate to. "The following two roles are crucial to examining ladies' comics as writing for women: the first is to present women's desires when they are no longer girls; and the second is to offer role models to adult women" (Ogi, 4).
Therefore, maybe this series, though how appealing the idea that female warriors take the lead, is truly not a celebration of woman empowerment. Yes, Claymores are women and yes, they are strong and fight and kick asses, but in reality, they are still under male subjugation. They are still being stigmatized though they all are sacrificing their lives for the lives of others and not even that is enough for the town people in the series.
As a normal human, the women in the Claymore series have no say in what happens in their community, or their households for that matter. As female warriors who have volunteered themselves to fight off Yomas to death, they are still categorized as probably the next worst thing after Yomas themselves. So, I ask: What else must these woman give up in order for them to reach at least the status of owning a decaying Inn?
Claymore Analysis: Zooming Out
These Key Points are, by no means, the only to be point out. But those are possibly the very first ones that jump right of the page when you are reading the series.
As a whole, the series are extremely enjoyable, not because of the things the manga didn't focused on, but because on the things they did. Female friendship is among the main themes within the series. The Claire, the main character, is a person willing to go to extremes for those dear to her. There is a sisterhood bond that ties these Claymores together and it is their struggles as warriors and their ups and downs what made, in my opinion, these series appealing to female readers.
So, let's step back and wonder what the Claymore series means as a whole.
What do the series mean? I cannot answer. Haha. I can theorize and pull out my subjective rabbits of the hat, but in reality, each person, (siding with Post-modernism), will find their own meaning when reading the series.
Notwithstanding, as I put the Feminist magnifier down, I realize that there are people out there who might not read manga at all. There are also female readers who will not be attracted to the goriness in which Norihiro despicts this series. However, that doesn't mean that female readers aren't reading these mangas (myself included). Right now, "manga accounts for two-thirds of all graphic-novel sales in U.S. bookstores" (Ho, 1). So, even if you not everyone is reading it, there are some people that are. Therefore, it is good to be aware of what kinds of things are presented in a story. For female readers who might seek answers to what there are going through in life, revising and looking at a story from a literary perspective (not just feminism, but other theories too) might be just as useful. The perks and the liberties of the mind when one becomes aware of how things are presented and represented in a piece work does not only give insight into the someone's else mind, but also an insight into society's thoughts as a whole.

Lyrics:First verseAll alone tonight in sadness I am dreaming, And fond mem'ries paint a picture, sweetheart miine, Of your pretty eyes with lovelight brightly beaming, While we wandered by the brook in harvest time;; It was there I fondly told love's old sweet story, There you whispered ""Yes"" and said ""I love you too;"" But you left me while the moon in all its glory, Looked down and heard me say ""I'll wait for you.""RefrainNow the echo of the chiimes across the valley (Echo) At ev'ning brings fond memories of you By the old oaken bucket I'm waiting, In the wildwood where the blue bells grewSecond verseDo you ever miss the days now gone forever, When as boy and girl we dreamed of days to be, While among the fragrant flow'rs we roamed together, Those were happy days, dear heart, for you and me: There's a change about the old place since we parted. And the little brook is slowly running dry: Sweetheart mine, with joy I read while tear drops started, Your sweet message, "I am coming bye and bye."

Cystic Fibrosis
by Rosalyn Carson-DeWitt, MD
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease. It causes a defect in certain cells of the lung and digestive systems. The defect makes the cells produce a thick, sticky mucus. This mucus can cause:
CF is a serious life-long condition, but the severity of the illness can vary greatly. The average life expectancy for someone with CF is about 35 years. Although, some with mild forms of CF can live to age 60 or beyond.
CF is a genetic disorder. A child with CF inherits defective genes from each parent. Parents who have the gene, but do not have CF, are called carriers.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of CF include:
The abnormally thick mucus of CF blocks certain organs. This causes many of the symptoms of CF.
Symptoms in infants may include:
Mucus that causes blockages in the lungs may lead to:
Mucus can also block the pancreas. This can block enzymes used to help you digest food. This can lead to:
Other symptoms may include:
Overall, girls are affected more severely than boys.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. CF is suspected in a child with classic symptoms, especially if a sibling has CF.
CF is often diagnosed by symptoms, family history of CF, or a positive screening test in newborns. The diagnosis may be confirmed with genetic testing. Other lab tests that may be used to confirm CF include:
Your lungs may be tested. This may be done to look for symptoms or to determine treatment. Tests may include:
Tests may also be needed to check the pancreas. These tests may be done to assess symptoms or determine treatment.
There is no cure for CF. Treatment is aimed at:
Treatment for CF includes:
Nutritional Support
Better nutrition will help improve overall health. It will also improve growth and development in children. Children who have returned to normal weight within 2 years of the diagnosis have fewer coughing episodes and better lung function. Some nutritional steps that may help include:
Managing Lung Infections
Thick mucus in the airways increases the risk of respiratory infections. The infection can also be more severe because of the mucus. Treatment of a current infection often requires antibiotics. Prevention of new infections may be done with:
Lung and Airway Support
Medications help keep the airways clear. Most will be delivered through an inhaler or nebulizer. Medications may include:
Other steps that may help clear mucus from the lungs include:
Oxygen therapy may be required as the disease progresses. Ventilation may also be needed. Talk to your doctor about whether these are options for you.
Other Treatment
Surgery may be required to treat blockages in the intestine. Lung and liver transplants may also be considered.
Support is important for those with CF and their families. Ask you doctor about local support groups or counseling options.
If you have the defective genes, there is no way to prevent CF.
Adults can be tested to see if they carry the genes before having children. Prenatal testing can determine if a baby will have CF.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today urged the community to support this year's second smoke alarm rally from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, October 2 at Lincoln High School. Residents who live in the neighborhood south of the State Capitol are asked to welcome volunteers who will install free smoke alarms. Volunteers also are needed to canvass the neighborhood, knock on doors and offer to install free alarms, each equipped with a 10-year battery.
Based on the success of last year's inaugural smoke alarm rally, Lincoln Fire and Rescue (LFR) obtained a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant to expand this year's effort. On August 21, 90 volunteers installed 300 smoke alarms. The goal for the October 2 event is 300 volunteers and over 1,000 alarms installed. The effort will again target the blocks bounded by Washington, "F", 14th and 17th streets.
Volunteers will work with trained personnel from Lincoln Fire and Rescue (LFR), the American Red Cross, Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) and other health and safety organizations. Safe Kids of Lincoln-Lancaster County has teamed with LFR to organize the rally, modeled after a successful program in Phoenix, Arizona.
Officials say fire is the second leading cause of accidental death to children in Nebraska, and more than 80 percent of fire deaths occur in homes with no alarm or a non-functioning alarm. "This is about saving lives," said LFR Captain Jeff Hatcher. "People living in the targeted neighborhoods are at a greater risk of being injured or killed by fire. We are here to offer them a higher level of protection because of that risk."
Jon Carlson of the Stronger Safer Neighborhoods Initiative, said the City has been investing resources in these same neighborhoods for the past year as part of a larger effort to revitalize neighborhoods and increase safety.
Volunteers age 18 and older are still needed to help install the smoke alarms. Those who are 16 and 17 years old can participate if accompanied by a parent or guardian. No experience is necessary.
Organizers are especially in need of Spanish-speaking volunteers. Those wishing to help can contact Julie Anderson at 441-8071 or show up at Lincoln High School (main entrance, north doors) at 8 a.m. Saturday.
Other community groups and sponsors involved in the rally include Allied Insurance Company; the Center for People in Need; Continental Western; Lincoln Firefighters Association, I.A.F.F. Local 644; the Real Estate Owners and Managers Association; Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center Burn Unit; Southeast Community College Fire Protection and Technology Department; Union Bank & Trust; Lincoln Police Department; American Red Cross; Salvation Army; and United Rentals.
Additional information is available on the City Web site at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: smoke alarms).
