The U.S. Constitution was the first document in human history to accord basic human rights to the great majority of the citizens of a nation. Much to their eternal shame, the framers of the Constitution made a devil's bargain with Southern slaveowners to deny all human rights to black slaves in order to get the votes of slaveowners to approve the Constitution. We all know how that turned out.
Even in the first democracy in history of a significant political entity, the Athenian democracy, approximately one-quarter to one-third of the people of Athens were slaves, most of them captured in the course of military conquests, according to historians of antiquity. Remember that even in this much-vaunted democracy, one of its greatest citizens, Socrates, was put to death after a trial before 500 of his supposed peers for the "crime" of "corrupting youth," in other words, for expressing opinions in lectures and discussions that ran contrary to the views of those in power.
Author of the U.S. Constitution, Thomas Jefferson (or at least his better angels), was often quoted as saying that he put the First Amendment first because it was the most important and that without it, the others would not have an anchor to support them. The First Amendment states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
But freedom is a rare and fragile flower that must be monitored and watered constantly by every generation and in every corner of the country to keep it alive. Take, for example, the peaceful protest on Dec. 4 by eight elderly members of the Chestnut Hill-based Philadelphia Advocates for Deer (P.A.D.) outside Valley Green Inn on Forbidden Drive. In the story above by Mary Ann Baron, a Chestnut Hill resident and co-founder of the group, you will read that six police cruisers and a paddy wagon descended on them, although they were standing quietly with their anti-deer-killing signs. (See above photo.) Short of the presence of Osama bin Laden, I can't imagine what would bring out six police cruisers and a paddy wagon. To say that the protesters were intimidated would be an understatement.
Those present told the Local that a police officer ordered them to disperse because they "did not have a permit" to protest. They did disperse, although Ron Recko, president of Chestnut Hill Residents Association, told us later, "I wish they had refused this order, which was obviously illegal. If they had actually been arrested for not having a permit, they would have had quite a lawsuit."
The eight placard-holders DID have a permit, of course. Their "permit" was the U.S. Constitution. MaryCatherine Roper, an attorney for the Philadelphia office of the American Civil Liberties Union, told us last Friday, "Anywhere within the city limits, you do not need a permit to protest peacefully in a public area unless you have 75 people or more. Obviously, with just eight people, this group did not need a permit. Of course you are not allowed to obstruct traffic. (Ed. Note: It would be rather difficult to obstruct traffic on Forbidden Drive since automobiles are, uh, forbidden.) I cannot imagine any proper basis for a police officer saying that. It's a clear violation of their rights, as far as I can tell."
When asked her opinion of the protest being squelched, apparently illegally, Maura McCarthy, Executive Director of Friends of the Wissahickon, stated: "FOW staff became aware of the quiet, peaceful protest in front of the inn when the police arrived to ask the group to move on, as the protest group had no Parks & Recreation-issued permit for the activity. (Ed. Note: As stated before, no such permit is needed.) When staff became aware of the protest group, we went outside to offer both the protesters and officers hot cider, because it was quite cold outside. This was the only interaction that staff had with the group. FOW respects the right of all citizens to express their opinions, even if we disagree with them. In the case of the deer management issue, many of the assertions of the group are verifiably wrong…"
When contacted for his version on the incident, Valley Green Inn owner Jack Ott said, "Let me first state first and foremost, I respect their opinions and in no way wanted to interfere with their beliefs and their rights to freedom of speech and assembly. I applaud them for getting out and actually doing something! Too many people in this world bang away at their keyboards expressing their outrage about the cause du jour. This group puts actions behind their words and beliefs. For that, they had my utmost respect.
"However, I wish they would have some inkling of respect for my livelihood. This group listed my business name, address and phone number as the protest location on meetup.com. I had to do a little research after the fact to find out why they seemingly targeted the Valley Green Inn. Since this group claimed they were protesting the deer cull, I'm curious why they didn't stage it at the Friends of the Wissahickon headquarters at 8708 Germantown Ave. or Fairmount Park executive offices or City Hall. Instead, they chose a privately owned business to target."
(Mary Ann Baron's reply: "We chose the Inn because members of FOW and board members were at the inn having a winter festival, and I felt this was an ideal place to protest. We have a right to be on park property wherever we choose without having the police called.")
"As I tried to relay to them, I am not the enemy," Ott added. "If anything, I have a more sympathetic ear than most. Why? After over a decade here at the Valley Green, I've seen too many family pets discarded down here. From cats, birds, dogs (even a freshwater alligator on one occasion!), it pains me to know that too many individuals in this world have such little concern for our furry and feathered friends. Perhaps if more people realized that their pets don't stand a chance in the wild, they might reconsider abandoning them."
To find out the reason for the overwhelming police presence against eight elderly, peaceful protesters, I contacted the Police Civil Affairs Department last Friday and spoke to Lt. Ray Evers, who said, "I'll have to call the 5th and 14th District Captains (covering Northwest Philadelphia on both sides of Wissahickon Park) and find out why this happened. We'll get it resolved. We will make sure the officers in both districts know the law regarding protests. We will tell them that the First Amendment still applies."
For those who would insist on "permission" of police anywhere on earth to express one's opinions about anything, I would cite the words of Liu Xiaobo, this year's winner of the Nobel Peace Prize who is serving an 11-year prison sentence for the "crime" of criticizing the Communist dictatorship running China. Liu has written: "Freedom of expression is the foundation of human rights, the source of humanity and the mother of truth."

Call it a perk being editor of the Sun Journal. I got what should arguably be the most coveted volunteer gig in the Western Hemisphere on Saturday: judging cupcakes at New Bern Farmers Market.
Call it a perk being editor of the Sun Journal. I got what should arguably be the most coveted volunteer gig in the Western Hemisphere on Saturday: judging cupcakes at New Bern Farmers Market.
Ten bakers entered the contest, each entering three cupcakes: one featuring something a bear would eat, one featuring something you can buy at the Farmers Market, and one of the baker�s choosing. Do the math: 10 bakers, three cupcakes per baker: That�s 30 cupcakes I got to sample.
These are no ordinary cupcakes (which I would be fine with, by the way). New Bern Farmers Market cupcakes have a noble heritage punctuated by Nicole Costa, a former Bridgeton resident who won top honors in Food Network�s �Cupcake Wars� in late 2012. I met Costa, who was a fellow judge last year. She has since moved to Texas.
There were fewer entries last year, but even still I could not finish all the cupcakes put in front of me. Being one who hates to waste food, I brought the leftovers home for the family.
Well, since then, Mark, my 8-year-old, has been curious about the contest and has asked me about it several times over the past year. When I was invited back, Mark was ecstatic. This was one Saturday morning when he would not sleep in.
I�m writing this on Friday, in advance of the contest, so I don�t have specifics. I can say this: on a cold winter morning, New Bern Farmers Market offers world class cupcakes along with a wide range of other products and produce. And afterward, dozens of zany men in go-carts will swirl along Middle Street for the latest Shriners� parade.
All I can say to people who complain that there�s nothing to do in New Bern is, you need to get off your couch and look around.
Speaking of couches.
We don�t have a cable TV outlet in our bedroom. If we watch something together in bed, it�s been on an old iPad. Otherwise, TV time is in the living room.
We bought an Apple TV recently ($100 at most places where you buy TVs), which gives us programming options via Wifi, and we dusted off an old TV to hook it to and put it in the bedroom.
Apple TV is not really a television. It is a receiver that connects to a TV, much like a cable TV box. Like a Roku, the Apple TV can connect to the internet wirelessly from your wifi router, or via an Ethernet cable to your cable modem, then connects to the TV using an HDMI cable.
Apple TV and Roku (also $100 for the Roku 3) lead the pack among �streaming box� selections. I tend to be an Apple fan and have been for many years, but it was Sarah who pushed us toward Apple TV because of how neatly it works with our iPhones.
Roku has hundreds of channels, far more than Apple TV, but Apple TV offers the channels we watch the most, specifically Netflix and HBO Go. Roku offers hundreds more channels and an earphone jack on its remote, whereas Apple TV offers the highest-demand channels and can mirror your iPhone or iPad on your TV screen. Both allow you to rent or buy streamed videos.
Smart TVs offer a lot of options ranging from Netflix to internet browsing. So a streaming box may be unnecessary. But for our old TV, an Apple TV breathes new life into it.
Now Sarah and I don�t have to squint at a small iPad screen or strain to listen to a fingertip-sized speaker. But we do still have to go downstairs if we want to watch cable TV programming, which puts us at odds with the other TV-viewing occupants of our house, our children.
Some call these devices cable TV killers. Among the scores of channels we get from cable TV, we watch six regularly � HBO, news, weather, AMC � OK, four. The time will come when the only reason we have cable TV service is to provide internet access.
That�s why net neutrality is such an issue now. As streaming services increase their consumption of internet bandwidth, the end of net neutrality means internet providers can limit, slow down or charge more for services that you use most frequently. After all, why should Netflix be the only one making money?
If Steve Jobs was still alive, he would figure out an amazing, game changing solution that would make everyone happy, but particularly consumers. I�m not sure who the Steve Jobs of the new age is.
I couldn�t resist putting a Justin Bieber story on Page 1 Saturday, the one about the 21-year-old woman from Jacksonville who was with Bieber when he was arrested late last week. It�s hard enough being a 19-year-old, but being one with so much money and so few limitations is a recipe for disaster.
Thanks for letting me take up some of your Sunday morning.

Are infrared outdoor heaters efficient?1
Infrared outdoor heaters are exceptionally efficient compared to traditional convection heating methods because of their superior energy conversion. They convert virtually all of the electricity they use into effective heating so that none of it goes to waste, and you can be confident in the knowledge that you're never paying any more than needed to run your heater.
Although other types of outdoor heater can be cheaper to purchase, their running costs can be significantly higher. Gas patio heaters and traditional solid fuel burners combust fuel in order to produce warmth which isn't a particularly efficient process as various by-products are created along with any useable heat. They often require regular maintenance and can take a while to get going so these methods certainly aren't efficient in terms of the amount of time you need to set aside taking care of them!
Halogen or quartz heaters tend to be less efficient out of all the infrared products available as they convert part of this energy into light. However, they provide an instantaneous warmth that can be felt the moment they're switched on, so users will never have to wait around for their heater to warm up.
What IP rating do I need from my infrared heater?1
IP ratings are the standard used to indicate the level of protection an electrical appliance offers against the ingress of solids or water. You may have already seen ratings like 'IP20' or 'IP65' whilst browsing products on our site, but if you're unfamiliar with them, it's not immediately obvious what these ratings convey.
The first digit of an IP rating indicates the protection level against solids and the second digit indicates the protection level against water. The IP rating you will need entirely depends on where you intend to install your infrared heater. A heater used in a typical indoor installation will usually only need basic protection, so you may find an IP20 rated product is sufficient. IP20 indicates no protection from water and limited ingress from solid objects (e.g. fingers).
However, a heater that will be permanently installed outside will need an IP rating that ensures it's adequately protected against the elements. As a rule of thumb, we would suggest installing a heater with a rating of at least IPX4 for a typical outdoor installation, as this rating indicates that the product is protected against splashes of water from all sides. This will be more than enough to protect against normal levels of rainfall. For more exposed areas with harsher conditions, such as seafront arcades, or commercial indoor areas that may be hosed down to clean, you will need a product with a rating of IPX5 or higher.
If you need further guidance, don't hesitate to give our sales team a call, or alternatively take a look at our IP ratings guide for a more in-depth look at this topic.
What does infrared heat feel like?1
You may not realise it but infrared heat is all around us, and in fact, our bodies emit this type of radiation constantly. Radiant heat is given off by almost all types of heater, from radiators to open fires, and we feel this warmth by absorbing it through our skin and re-emitting it back into the atmosphere. The sensation provided by infrared heaters is similar to the feeling created by the warmth of the sun on your skin. It can be a more satisfying type of warmth compared to products that purely heat through the movement of warm air.
Depending on the type of infrared heater you purchase this radiant warmth can differ. Far infrared heaters use a longer wavelength to provide a much gentler form of heat that your body can easily absorb, whereas near infrared uses a shorter wavelength to provide a more invigorating sensation of heat.
Are infrared patio heaters eco-friendly?1
Electric infrared heaters are one of the eco-friendliest methods of heating outdoor areas because they don't produce any emissions when in use and convert almost all of the energy used into effective heat. Homes or businesses that have access to their own solar panels or wind turbines can even enjoy completely carbon neutral heating by powering their outdoor heaters with their own self-generated electricity.
Arguably, no patio heater is completely eco-friendly as they're luxury items that don't necessitate the functioning of our everyday life. However, the same is true of several of our other home electricals such as TVs, games consoles and computers which many of us couldn't do without. What patio heaters offer is improved quality of life as more of us are encouraged to get out and enjoy the best of the day. Businesses with outdoor areas will also find that these heaters encourage more foot traffic into their establishments as people gravitate to well-heated alfresco seating areas. As with any other appliance, you'll need to weigh up all the of the pros and cons before committing to a purchase to make sure it's suitable for your needs.

Russell Crowe might play Jor-El in the new Superman movie
I think the new costume looks better than the 80's jazzercise version with red briefs.
No red undies for SupermanI don't get it why studios don't understand that an all-blue unitard looks awful...
The one solid color just looks odd...perhaps because I'm just used to the original version, but I can't think of any other super hero that wears one solid color unless it's black.

Fishing is not quite what it used to be. Even in the Pacific where images of sunny shores, palm tress and little canoes may prevail, reality underneath the waves is quite something else. Some of the biggest and most powerful fishing powers as well as those with most destructive gear in the world roam around these waters that were once were rich in tuna, sharks and marine life. Now many species have declined to such low levels we may never have them back in sufficient numbers.
One such species such as oceanic white tip sharks, one of the most evolved predators on the planet, that even if all fishing was stopped to protect them it could take hundreds of years to recover. It devastating to think we are emptying our oceans of it's inhabitants, species after species, stock after stock.
The fish are getting fewer and fewer, smaller and smaller. The host nation of this week's pacific tuna commission's negotiations, the Philippines, declared an overfishing crisis a few weeks back. The tuna being landed in it's ports is now almost all juveniles. If you don't have any big mamas left in the oceans who is going to produce the next generation?
One would think that because of declining catches and more time needed to search for fish, scientific warning and reality that our oceans are becoming empty were enough to stop the industry from building more and bigger boats, and developing even more ruthlessly efficient fishing methods. But no, perverted subsidies from governments are driving ship building in many countries still and apparently the ship yards around the world are busier than ever, pumping out new purse seiners, longliners and other fishing boats that soon will have no fish to catch. To compensate the increasing scarcity of fish, boats gladly load on more fish aggregation devices that will help find and capture the last fish.
What will coastal communities with no alternative protein do when they only have empty nets? Action needed to halt increases in fishing boat numbers and capacity is needed more urgently than ever.
Unfortunately, here in Manila this week, the political will to make these changes happen seems as low as ever, notwithstanding recent analyses by scientists showing that overfishing of bigeye tuna continues to be a problem. Short-term corporate profits are again steamrolling over the future of the Pacific ocean and those most dependent on it for livelihoods and food here.
Countries have no problems postponing important decisions that can be taken right now to long-winded process that will take years and years to resolve while wanton overfishing continues. Perhaps we have to get ready to hand over empty oceans to next generations of hungry bellies on Pacific shores. It's now up to us, consumers, to make that choice for seafood that's sustainable and empowers people who rely on them for food and livelihood.

Himalayan Crystal Salt FIRE BOWL with iron grate
This Himalayan salt FIRE BOWL is a fascinating conversation piece, with an average height of 4" and base width of 6.6". When lit, it appears to be a bowl of molten lava.
Salt fire bowls come from deep inside Himalayan salt caves, where huge seams of trace-mineral-rich salt are harvested and transformed into edible salt, salt lamps, salt tea lights and other items. The salt is considered "better than organic" because they are wildcrafted from inside a mountain, completely free of modern-day chemicals.
YES, these salt sculptures are edible! You can literally scrape off the salt from the fire bowl and use it on your food. They are not treated or processed in any way other than being physically shaped. There is nothing added to these large shapes of Himalayan salt. If you LICK your salt lamp, it will taste like salt.
This salt contains 82+ trace elements, including magnesium, zinc, selenium and more. It is a "full-spectrum" sea salt that's slightly pinkish in color. The taste is widely considered to have more depth and richness compared to processed white table salt.
Every salt object is unique
Himalayan salt is a collection of crystals. The crystal shape reminds many people of quartz crystals or geodes. There is a geometry in the crystals that is widely recognized to be "sacred" in the healing arts. Salt lamps are crystals you can eat!
When lit from the inside, Himalayan salt lamps project an amazing pattern of light and color. They also have a slight ionizing effect that projects negative ions when the light bulb is turned on. Historically, allergy sufferers have commonly visited salt caves to help improve their breathing.
We cannot guarantee exactly what each salt lamp will look like, as each one is unique in texture and composition. The picture you see here is taken from the same salt lamps we are offering, so your lamp will look similar to this. All Himalayan salt lamps will have visible "fractures" which are lines between different concentrations of mineral elements inside the lamp. They may also contain small "specks" of minerals, usually red or pink in color. The texture of the salt lamp is much like a collection of tiny crystals, which is exactly what salt really is.
FREE dimmer switch
Most Himalayan salt lamps sold in North America come with a cheap on/off light switch. Our lamps come with a FREE high-quality dimmer switch and cord, allowing you to "turn the lights down low" to set the mood for meditation, romance, or whatever you want.
The warm glow produced by these lamps is incredibly beautiful, even sensuous. The natural texture of the lamp provides a kaleidescope of fascinating textures and light refractions that are mesmerizing to observe.
NOTE: A light bulb is NOT included with the lamp, as the bulbs are fragile and would break during shipping. It uses a standard light bulb size that you can find at any Home Depot, Lowe's, Wal-Mart or other home living store. The "B10" bulb screw base is what you're looking to get. They're sometimes called "miniature lamp" bulbs. These are very inexpensive and easy to find. We recommend a 45-watt bulb or smaller.
A smart preparedness item
Himalayan salt lamps are prized as valuable preparedness items because human beings cannot live without salt. Although modern-day food is pre-salted, in a collapse or survival scenario, salt suddenly becomes very difficult to get (and goes way UP in value).
In a survival scenario, you'll need salt for storing foods, pickling vegetables, curing meats, cooking soups, and to help eliminate nutritional deficiencies. Because Himalayan salt contains 82+ trace elements, it provides the body with nutritional raw materials that regular white salt cannot.
If you wish to chip off some salt from a salt lamp, here's a tip: Wrap the salt lamp in a towel, then (carefully) hammer away at the towel. This will produce salt grains and small pieces that can be used in cooking. It is a good idea to wear eye protection when hammering, by the way.
Infinite shelf life
These salt lamps have already been "on the shelf" so to speak for millions of years. As long as you keep them dry, they have a shelf life far beyond a human lifespan. Remember: They have been buried under billions of tons of rock and dirt for millions of years. They will do just fine sitting on your shelf. This makes them a smart way to store a valuable survival item that also doubles as a beautiful decoration piece for your home or office!
* FREE shipping in 48 contiguous states for orders of $99 or more
YES, all our Himalayan salt lamps, salt tea lights, USB salt lamps and other salt items qualify for FREE SHIPPING in the contiguous 48 states for orders of $99 or more. This is effectively a huge discount, as salt lamps are heavy and expensive to ship. Shipping to Hawaii and Alaska is charged at the actual rate provided to us by the carriers. We do not recommend purchasing salt lamps for shipment outside the United States, as shipping costs can often exceed the entire purchase price of the lamp.

The camera catches the giant blob – which looks brown in color and appears to have scales — floating around, with organs and appendages sticking out, something rarely ever seen before.
So … should we be afraid of this new sea creature and will it take over the world?
Steven Haddock, a scientist for the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Moss Landing, Calif., says that the mysterious creature is a Deepstaria enigmatica jellyfish, much to the chagrin of some Reddit users who thought it was a whale placenta.
"This bag-like jelly is not that rare, but is large, so rarely seen intact," Haddock said on his "JellyWatch" Facebook page. "In the video, the swirling from the sub makes the medusa appear to undulate and it even turns inside-out."
This type of jellyfish is usually found in the south Atlantic Ocean, some 5,000 feet below. According to the Marine Species Identification Portal, the jellyfish has "oral arms […] terminating in curious hook-shaped organ[s]."

If you didn't catch Parks and Rec last night, you missed out Aziz Ansari (a.k.a. Tom Haverford) hilariously explaining the tech we use every day—and his interpretations are spot-on.
Emoji are little cartoons you text instead of words. Instead of saying "what up, boo?" you can type what up, and then a little ghost. Cause that means boo.
Tom gets in car wreck, caused by his ceaseless texting and driving. So the judge sentences him to one week without any screens. He pleads that the judge send him to jail instead, but the ruling stands.
So he copes with his punishment by endlessly rants about Twitter, Gchat, Doodle Jump, and more. And, of course, explains the purpose of emoji. For those of us constantly checking email, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram updates, it's a riot.

Bhima Koregaon Violence: Protests Spread Across Mumbai, Buses Vandalised, Internet Blocked, Rail Traffic Affected
MUMBAI, INDIA - JANUARY 2: Dalit protesters staged rail roko at Chembur Sation, after the clashes between Dalit groups and supporters of right-wing Hindutva organisations broke out during the 200th anniversary celebrations of the Bhima-Koregaon battle in Pune district, on January 2, 2018 in Mumbai, India. Violent protests erupted in several parts of Mumbai and Thane, with protesters damaging buses, blocking roads, staging rail rokos and forcing shops to shut down on Tuesday, a day after a 28-year-old Dalit died in Pune district following an altercation between two groups during celebrations to mark the bicentenary of a British-Peshwa war. In the Thane region of Maharashtra near Mumbai, section 144 has been imposed till January 4. (Photo by Vijayanand Gupta/Hindustan Times )

Mary Riter Hamilton
Canadian, 1873–1954
Easter Morning, La Petite Penitente, Brittany, c. 1900
oil on canvas
117.4 x 82.2 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mrs. Horace Crawford
Painting, Canadian Historical (1800-1910)
Mary Riter Hamilton's intimate portrait of a peasant girl was painted while the artist was studying in Paris, around the time she first started exhibiting at the French Salon in 1905. The WAG work exalts the unique local culture of northwestern France: the supplicant holds a rosary and is seated with what is likely a prayer book at her right; the clogs testify to a hard farm life. Considered remote and deeply traditional, the French regions of Brittany and Normandy and their inhabitants were favourite subjects for earlier French painters. Hamilton returned to Canada in 1906 and settled in Winnipeg. Shortly thereafter, she mounted an exhibition of her Paris paintings and sketches in private residences and galleries in Winnipeg and Toronto; Easter Morning was considered her exhibition's masterpiece.

Latch and Positioning
Learn about breastfeeding and have support
Consider taking our breastfeeding class here at Little Company of Mary Hospital to prepare for breast-feeding success. Our support group offers new mothers (after discharge home) the opportunity to meet and share experiences with other breast feeding women, and also provides guidance from an expert LCM Lactation Consultant. The Group meets every Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., except for holidays, at Little Company of Mary in the 8th floor solarium. All mothers and babies are welcome. No registration is necessary. Our goal is to give every mom and baby the best start possible. For lactation information, please call 708.229.5418.
During your hospital stay, ask for help from the hospital staff
Little Company of Mary nurses are specially trained to assist you and your baby in learning to breastfeed. You and your baby learn to breastfeed together.
Skin to Skin. Place your baby's bare body on your chest after birth.
- When you baby is held close to you he is able to smell the first milk called colostrum. This milk smells like the fluid he was bathed in before he was born.
- Given time on your chest after birth, your baby may find his way down to your breast and latch on by himself.
The first three days after birth
- Babies are alert for the first few hours after birth. This is the best time to start breastfeeding.
- After this wakeful period, babies typically sleep a lot the rest of their first day. During the next two days, babies tend to wake up and spend a lot of time at the breast, getting nourishment and building your milk supply.
- Babies can get over stimulated from all the sights, sounds, and activities of their new world. Being held close and at the breast helps babies to be calm and soothed.
- This time of being close and frequent feeding facilitates bonding and releases hormones that make milk in the mother's body.
How to help your baby latch onto your breast
- Hold your baby close, with baby's tummy facing your tummy.
- Support baby with a pillow if needed.
- Have one hand support baby's neck.
- Use your other hand to support the breast if needed.
- First have baby's chin touch your breast, then have your nipple opposite baby's nose.
- Tickle the baby's upper lip with your nipple to make his mouth open wide,
- Then bring him to your breast quickly.
- Baby should latch the areola, not just the nipple. This will enable baby to get more milk and reduce the likelihood of developing nipple soreness.
- If you feel pain with nursing, baby may not have enough breast in his mouth.
- Insert your finger between his jaws to break suction then relatch.
Learn different positions and have the nurses help you with breastfeeding
- Laid-Back Feeding: Lean back comfortably (not flat) so that your infant is on your chest with gravity helping to keep him in position. As your baby rests on your abdomen, let his cheek rest near one of your bare breasts. Allow your baby to root and self-attach. Support your breast if necessary.
- Cross-cradle: Hold baby tummy to tummy. Hold your forearm along baby's back, with your hand supporting baby's neck and shoulders. Your other hand can support the breast.
- Football: Baby's body is under your arm close to your body and your hand supports his neck and shoulders. Baby's head is under the breast, looking up at you. Your other hand can support your breast.
- Side-lying: You can rest while your baby feeds! Lay on your side, baby tummy to tummy with you. Use your upper arm to support your breast. When baby's mouth opens wide, press baby onto breast with

A Federal Tax
for the 1980s.
by WILLIAM L. RABT/ Senior Tax Partner
Too often the tax professional is
viewed as being engaged
//merely"in trying to obtain
special tax benefits for his clients-finding
loopholes, seeking some
modicum of support for far-out tax
positions, acting as a taxpayer advocate
in tax controversies. Any such description
displays a shallow understanding of
both the professional's role and how
the U.S. tax system works.
The tax system is complex and ever
changing, because legislators and
administrators alike have found it the
most responsive and efficient way of
fine-tuning the American economy, of
meeting the volatile needs and desires
of the American taxpayer/voter.
Therefore, before discussing the future
effectiveness of our tax system, I'd like
to discuss briefly the social significance
of the existing system and the CPAs role
in that system.
How vital is the role that the tax
practitioner plays in the system? Let us
use the example of a subsidy program
that the government sets up to stimulate
the purchase of energy conserving
devices. Setting up such a subsidy
program would be a time-consuming
and administratively expensive task.
First, enabling legislation would have to
be passed. Then an appropriation
would be required. Either an existing
agency would have to staff-up to meet
the demands of this new program or a
new agency would need to be brought
into existence. Regulations would have
to be written and application forms and
procedures adopted. The first requests
for the subsidy money might take quite
some time to process. Perhaps two
years after the legislation was proposed,
an actual program might be in operation—
by which time the energy
problem would have passed beyond
the point where that program would be
of any help.
Contrast this with using the tax
system to provide this subsidy either
through a deduction or a credit. The
minute a program was proposed, tax
people would start monitoring on
behalf of their clients. The enactment

Kate Winslet confirmed as Jeanine Matthews
It was reported in early February that Kate Winslet had joined the cast of Divergent but there was no confirmation at the time what role she'd be playing. Speculation immediately went to Jeanine Matthews and it was revealed yesterday that she will indeed be leading the Erudite, the story's most obvious villain, although, by the time it's all over, she probably won't be considered the most morally compromised of all the characters. There's still Marcus to deal with, besides.
As I wrote a few weeks ago when the news first broke, this is a good casting decision, especially as, to me anyway, there was always...something...between Jeanine and Caleb, and that reminds me of Kate in The Reader. Ansel Elgort was announced as Caleb a few days ago -- click here to see a refresher. Maybe I was way off about the subtext...
Here's Winslet in London last night with her husband Ned Ugh Rock'nRoll. That is unofficially his middle name, UGH.

Forget Smoothies: Maybe the $11,000 Clover Machine Will Save Starbucks?
Starbucks has been hurting recently, but if anything can save this flagging chain, it could be an $11,000 Clover coffee machine. The stuff of dreams for hardcore java addicts, the Clover has the potential to steer the coffee giant back to great coffee basics and, for once, justify the high prices.
As Wired reports, Starbucks discreetly purchased and installed a few Clovers at various Seattle and Boston stores in the summer of 2007, charging $3.05 for a cup of the fancy Clover brew. After thumbs-up came from testers, Starbucks purchased Clover's makers, the Coffee Equipment Company, and now won't sell any more machines to independent cafés. With plans to install 80 of them across the country this year, Starbucks has early Clover adopters outraged. Some have even tried returning machines in protest, shaking their fists at the Coffee Man.
Can the fancy machine save the 'bux, or was the Vivanno smoothie a better plan?

Beer Review: Brooklyn Brewery's Dry Irish StoutTweet January 25, 2013
The beer I enjoy often depends on the season. In the summer I like a good IPA, in the fall I tend towards a nut brown ale to a porter, but my favorite time of year for beer is winter, when I can enjoy a nice stout in front of a roaring fire. Brooklyn Brewery read my mind recently and sent me samples of their Dry Irish Stout. Thank you, Brooklyn folks!
About the beer
From the Brooklyn website:
Brooklyn Irish Stout is brewed the old-fashioned way, without the nitrogen addition. A large portion of the grain is roasted like coffee beans, developing the typical color and flavor of this beer. Aside from British pale malts, the beer includes caramel malts, black patent malt, unmalted black barley and a proportion of flaked raw barley, which helps the beer develop a beautiful, thick natural head. The famous East Kent Golding hop lends to the earthy aroma. The beer is neither filtered, nor fined and has a light, brisk carbonation. The blend of grains gives the beer an espresso-like bite, followed by coffee and chocolate flavors.
The Pour
This poured a dark brown with red undertones. A beautiful tan head, one finger thick, topped off the beer, leaving decent lacing on the glass.
The Nose
This beer has one great nose. Chocolatey, earthy and slightly hoppy, with lots of great roasted malt. Just a complex, tasty nose. You almost want to just keep inhaling its bouquet, but it's so alluring you just have to taste it.
The Taste
The nose definitely alludes to the flavors to come. At first this beer is very carbonated, moreso than I expect from a stout. There are light chocolatey flavors there, released by the effervescence. You quickly realize it is a dry beer, but one that carries a minor level of sweetness with it. As the beer warms, more earthy flavors come out, almost a peat note that is most fitting with an Irish stout. I realized after a couple of tastings of the beer that the chocolate and earthy flavors linger on the palate for some time, which is a good experience. There is a lot of complexity here to be deciphered and enjoyed.
Scoring Breakdown
Appearance: Attractive beer, I like that it's not pitch black but has some hint of color. 9 points out of 10
Nose: Very good nose, very interesting and representative, but leaving some things to the imagination. 14 out of 15
Taste: Good complexity and depth of flavor, good stout flavors, but in probably the most drinkable stout I've had. 48 out of 55
Style: Very appropriate representation of the style. 18 out of 20
Total rating: 89 points out of 100.
In a nutshell: A lot of people shy away from stouts because they see them as heavy and weighty, and not at all something to enjoy casually with friends, but this definitely puts those misconceptions to rest. This is a great beer if you still want to enjoy a nice roasty beer for winter but don't want to feel sluggish and full after a couple of beers. Very tasty and complex.

Lieberman visits Groton in farewell tour
Groton — Michelle Allen, 58, is Joe Lieberman's biggest fan.
When the retiring Independent Democratic senator stopped by Norm's Diner in Groton Wednesday morning, Allen, who lives in New London, arrived early and made sure to position herself by the front door. And when the senator finally arrived around 10:45 a.m., she led the diner's patrons in a round of applause.
"I got the first hug — did you see?" she said afterward. "You don't understand. I got goose bumps."
After 24 years in the Senate, a failed vice-presidential run and hefty criticism from his own party, Lieberman decided to say goodbye to his constituents by carrying on his tradition of touring diners across the state. Since 1988, Lieberman has visited more than 130 diners in more than 60 Connecticut cities and towns.
His Senate career will end at noon on Jan. 3, when Sen.-elect Chris Murphy is sworn in.
"It became sort of my favorite way of interacting with people," he said of the diner visits.
Lieberman said his original plan was to spread out his stops — breakfast in one town, maybe lunch in another — over the days between Christmas and New Year's. But the looming "fiscal cliff" cut his schedule short, he said, and Wednesday became a four-stop tour, starting in Bridgeport and ending in Manchester, before the senator would return to Washington that evening.
He recalled it was the first time in his 24 years that Congress had been in session after Christmas.
"Frankly, to me, it's an embarrassment that we haven't gotten this done yet," he said.
But Lieberman didn't come to Norm's to talk politics. In a red sweater, navy wool blazer and gray slacks, Lieberman made the rounds to breakfasters with a white mug of coffee in hand, chatting and reminiscing.
"I'm on the farewell pancake tour," he told them.
Dan Booth Cohen, 57, and wife K.K., 52, were seated at Norm's Wednesday morning, having just taken a ferry from Long Island on their way home to Needham, Mass. Squeezed cozily into the opposite booth seat were daughters Anna, 22, Rosie, 17, and Rosie's best friend, Bri Rubin, also 17.
The Booth Cohens told the senator they were celebrating both Hanukkah and Christmas this holiday season.
"That's classically American," Lieberman said.
Dan Booth Cohen has been coming to Norm's since he was a student at Connecticut College in the 1970s, stopping in with friends after the bars had closed for the night for both food and atmosphere.
"You never know who you'll find. Sometimes you'll find a distinguished U.S. senator," he said. "And sometimes you'll find rowdy drunks."
The family snapped a quick photo with Lieberman before they left.
Norm's is a textbook diner, trailer-shaped, with seafoam-green swivel stools and booth seats. A black Digital Thunder jukebox stands as tall as the door next to it, with John Mellencamp and Creedence Clearwater Revival album covers on display.
It's held its spot on Bridge Street just off Interstate 95 since the early 1950s, said Brenda Trask, 52, busy Wednesday serving plates filled with eggs and crisp bacon. Trask, who lives in Waterford, has owned the place for four years now. Its menu is a double-sided sheet of laminated white paper offering universal diner fare — milk shakes and burgers, French toast and home fries, mozzarella sticks and pie à la mode.
"It's just like coming and cooking for my family, because everybody is regulars," Trask said. "If you're not in the conversation, by the time you get done with your breakfast, you are, you know? That's how it is."
While the Booth Cohens were pleasantly surprised, others — like Allen — had patiently awaited Lieberman's arrival.
"Old school!" Lieberman exclaimed upon greeting his former executive assistant, Heather Picazio, 46, who lives in Mystic. She'd unbuttoned her gray tweed jacket to show her one-time boss her T-shirt — Gore/Lieberman '00.
Allen also had memories, fond and otherwise, to dredge up for the senator: When Lieberman ran on an independent ticket after losing a primary bid for his Senate seat in 2006, many saw his unwillingness to concede defeat as a betrayal of the Democratic Party. But Allen recited her lawn-sign slogan: "I'm sticking with Joe."
"Remember that?" she asked him.
"Oh, do I remember that," he said.
"I'm sticking with Joe all the way. And I'm sorry to see you, you know," Allen told him. "You'll get some rest now, but I'm sorry to see you go."
Lieberman said diners are "a great American institution" — a place he'd rather visit than chain heavyweights like McDonald's or Dunkin' Donuts.
"They're great places," he said of the fast-food staples. But diners are special.
"You don't see the waitresses wearing shorts in December," he said, gesturing at Trask — who, with long, red nails, tanned skin, and blonde-highlighted hair pulled back into a scrunchie, was, sure enough, wearing shorts in December.
"They're not crazy like me," she said.
After Lieberman's departure, Trask said she and her customers appreciated the senator's brief visit.
"It was different — a little excitement," she said.

Let $f: X \to Y$ be a morphism of varieties such that its fibres are isomorphic to $\mathbb{A}^n$. Since the definition of a vector bundle stipulates that $f$ be locally the projection $U \times \mathbb{A}^n \to U$, it is likely that there exist morphisms that are not locally of that form, but I can't come up with an example.
So the question is: what is an example of a morphism with fibres $\mathbb{A}^n$ that is not locally trivial? not locally isotrivial?
UPDATE: what if one assumes vector space structure on the fibres?

Post subject: Government War Against Sex Science
There is a war against sexual science in this country. Its not really new. Christianity has been waging a war for a long time against sexuality and anything, including science, that helps us better understand it.. In some of my old books on sexuality from around the turn of the last century, the authors even admit that if they actually told the truth of what they knew about sexuality, the book could never be published because it would offend the religious.
For a long time, America was rather backward scientifically. Sputnik changed things. Suddenly, America realized that science was important. If we were going to compete globally, we needed to educate our children in the sciences. This led directly to Americas lead in science and technology
Of course, things are different now. America is losing its edge in technology. Science is getting short shrift in schools once again, and many topics are simply ignored. They dont want to offend fundamentalist Christians, who object to many aspects of geology, biology, physics, and other sciences they see as contradicting their literal interpretation of the Bible. There is an overall war against science in this country, fueled not just by fundamentalists, but also by corporations that do not want limits on their activities that might be damaging the environment, endangering health, or causing global warming. Sceince has been deemphasized in the classroom and in congress. How and why this is happening is well documented in Chris Mooneys excellent book, the Republican War on Science.
In no other area have they seen more success than in their war on sexual science. It is the official policy of our current government. There are many ecellent examples in Marty Klein's book, The War on Sex.
Throughout our government, the power of various agencies has been redirected into the hands of those with a political agenda and little respect for science. Many of them are classical scientific cranks, pseudoscientists with as much credibility as a young earth creationist.
The FDA was scientifically compromised. Over the counter emergency birth control was delayed for years, due in part to recommendations completely ignoring science by crackpot Dr David Hager. Hager opposes birth control for unmarried women, and clings to the scientifically false notion that emergency contraception causes abortions. Bush named appointees to the FDA advisory committee on reproductive health who opposed not only abortion, but contraception as well.
The surgeon general, Richard Camera, was muzzled on sexual topics, including the failure of abstinence education and Plan B.
The National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control websites were told to remove information about the effectiveness of condoms from their websites, replacing it with pro-abstinence propaganda. A separate CDC listing of sex-education "Programs that Work," meant to give local officials information on scientifically proven methods of reducing risky teen sexual behavior was also removed.
Tom Coburn, who is now a senator and one of our easiest picks for whacko of the week for his extremist anti-condom views and attempts to have condoms relabeled as being ineffective, before being elected was made co-chair the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS.
Bush Appointed Ellen Sauerbrey to be the Representative to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. She has said that sex education is unhealthy to the family, and is strongly opposed to abortion and birth control.
The Department of Health and Human Services has been compromised. Bush appointed Eric Keroack as assistant secretary of population affairs, in charge of DHHS family planning programs. He has said that birth control is demeaning to women. He is also a proponent of the pseudoscientific belief that premarital sex suppresses the production of oxycontin, thus making it impossible to have a successful long term marriage. They also launched a web site called 4parents with advice for parents on how to keep their kids from having unwanted pregnancies or becoming sexually active. A review by four health experts found the site riddled with factual errors, including calling condoms only moderately effective and providing misinformation about STDs. The site was corrected for awhile after a storm of complaints, but hass been recently updated with new misinformation. While claiming that the site was created by government scientists, it was in fact created by an anti-choice anti-gay right wing advocacy group.
International AIDS programs have been forbidden to talk about condoms or distribute condoms, even though rape and the spread of HIV is on the rise in many countries. International family planning programs have been forbidden to even mention the subject of abortion, even when the womans life is at risk.
A delegation to the U.Ns Special Session on Children led by presidential candidate Tommy Thompson joined with Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Iraq and the Vatican to eliminate comprehensive sex education for adolescents, restrict STD-prevention and contraceptive information to heterosexual married couples, and redefine "reproductive health services" to exclude legal abortion.
Unbelievably, a US delegation to the World Summit on Sustainable development joined again with the Vatican and Islamic countries to oppose including language that would characterize female genital mutilation, forced child marriage and honor killings as human rights violations.
In an attempt to alter language in the earlier landmark agreement of 179 countries in 1994 at the International Conference on Population and Development, State Department representative Elaine Jones expressed the official U.S. position that natural family-planning methods be emphasized in the updated conference document, offering her own experience with the Billings method of birth control. An Iranian delegate, who was also an ob-gyn, pointed out that these methods have a very high failure rate, and that it says so in all the U.S. textbooks.
Congress has had Judith Reisman, another of our whackos of the week, appear as an expert witness on pornography and other issues. Her lifes work has primarily been devoted to trying to destroy the credibility and research of Alfred Kinsey, an agenda for which no lie is too outrageous. She also supports many pseudoscientific sex theories.
Sex education in our schools has been all but dismantled, replaced by federally funded abstinence education that, when it rarely deals with anything scientific, typically gets the facts wrong. This has been well-documented by Henry Waxmans congressional investigation and many studies.
The ban against federally funded stem cell research is based on a complete misunderstanding of the basic science. Peoples lives are sacrificed who might have been saved by the research, to save embryos that would be discarded anyway.

crowd of local residents, the press, and employees of the various agencies and contractors who had worked on the preparations started gathering at dawn. At about 9:00 a.m. the sound of the motors from the self-propelled jacks increased in volume and pitch, the crowd held its collective breath, and slowly, inches at a time, the venerable old building began to move. Traveling only feet an hour, the inn made its way up Route 202, passed safely over the culvert, to Gulph Road, where it made a right turn--with contractors soaping the tires so they could slide along the curbing and manually turning the jacks. From there the inn proceeded about a half mile to its new site.¹
Moving the King of Prussia Inn to a new location was just one of the many changes witnessed by the inn during its history. When the inn was first built in 1719, Pennsylvania was still a British colony. Though that building was but a small farmhouse, the inn later grew to a prosperous tavern and inn at the heart of a town of the same name. For more than two centuries, the King of Prussia adapted to its everchanging surroundings. In 1952, the State of Pennsylvania acquired the property for roadway improvements. For nearly 50 years, the inn sat idle until the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation accepted a plan by the King of Prussia Chamber of Commerce at Valley Forge for the relocation of the historic inn. Today the Chamber of Commerce occupies the building, and its story is preserved for generations to come.¹ Richard M. Affleck, "At the Sign of the King of Prussia," Byways to the Past, published by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, 2002.
