Despite a large number of contraceptive options available to couples, it is still thought that 50% of pregnancies in the United States are unintended. Therefore, it is important to choose a contraceptive that can be used consistently and correctly.
When deciding on a contraceptive method, you need to think about how effective and convenient the contraceptive method is, how long it lasts, whether it can be reversed, its side effects, price, and if it provides protection against sexually transmitted infections.
Contraceptive agents work in many ways to prevent a pregnancy. They are usually divided into those that are either hormonal or nonhormonal. Most of the hormonal contraceptives work by changing a woman's hormone levels to mimic a pregnancy, therefore preventing eggs from being able to be released from the ovary. In contrast, nonhormonal contraceptive agents or devices work by preventing a man's sperm from joining a woman's egg.
Barrier contraceptives prevent sperm from entering the uterus and fallopian tubes. The barrier may be chemical (spermicide) or physical (male and female condoms, diaphragm, cervical cap, Lea's shield, contraceptive sponge).
Diaphragms and cervical caps must be fitted by an experienced health care provider and must be left in the vagina for 6 to 8 hours after sex. Condoms and the contraceptive sponge do not require a prescription. Barrier methods do not have many side effects, unless you or your partner are allergic to the material (latex) from which the method is made.
Couples using a barrier method of contraception can notice a failure rate (number of failures per 100 women who use the method) that ranges from 15% (male condom) to 20% (diaphragm, cervical cap) to 32% (cervical cap or sponge) of the time. When two barrier methods are used together (like a diaphragm and a condom), they become highly effective (up to 95%). If the barrier method breaks or falls out during sex, a woman may consider taking emergency contraception (the "morning-after" pill). Some barrier contraceptives also help to protect against sexually transmitted infections.
Each month, a woman produces an egg, which is released from the ovary and travels through the fallopian tubes to the uterus. When the egg is released, this is called ovulation. The time during which the egg moves from the ovary to the uterus lasts a few days and is the only time in which a woman can become pregnant. Couples who use natural family planning have to determine when the woman is ovulating and avoid having sex during that time.
There are ways that you can tell if you are ovulating and should not have sex:
Another commonly practiced method of natural family planning is withdrawal, in which the man does not ejaculate inside the vagina at the time of male orgasm. However, this method has a high rate of failure.
The use of natural family planning can fail 2% to 25% of the time, depending on the experience of the couple practicing this method. Women with irregular periods, abnormal bleeding, or cervical or vaginal infections cannot use natural family planning because they cannot predict when they may ovulate. Certain medications and medical conditions can change a woman's cervical mucus or body temperature, so these women should not use natural family planning.
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are safe and effective forms of long-term reversible contraception. There are two available IUDs: one containing a progestin (a hormone) and the other containing copper. A doctor places the device in the woman's uterus and it can be used for either five (progestin containing) or 10 (copper) years.
Failure rates with IUDs range from 0.1% to 0.8%. Both types of IUDs work by preventing the egg from developing normally. They also impair sperm movement when the sperm enter the uterus, which decreases the chances that an egg will be fertilized. The IUD may also cause changes to the lining of the uterus that could prevent a fertilized egg from implanting. The side effects include a slight increased risk of pelvic infection caused by placement of the IUD.
Sterilization is the most commonly used form of nonhormonal contraception around the world; but it is a permanent procedure. Depending on the type of procedure used, only small surgical incisions are required. However, some forms of sterilization may not necessitate an incision.
A tubal ligation involves separation of the fallopian tubes into two segments using a ring, clip, stitch, or electric current. This prevents the egg from moving through the tube and keeps the sperm from reaching the egg. Most methods of sterilization in women work right away -- but not all! The failure rate is less than 1%. If a woman does become pregnant after sterilization, there is a 33% risk of a tubal ectopic pregnancy (a dangerous condition in which a fertilized egg stays in the fallopian tube). There is some evidence that tubal ligation may lower the risk of ovarian cancer.
Another method of female sterilization involves placing a spring-like coil through the cervix and into the uterus. These coils are placed into the area of the uterus where the fallopian tubes enter. Placement of these coils can be performed in the physician's office or in the hospital by using a hysteroscope, which is a small telescope that is connected to a television camera. This procedure does not involve incisions. It may take three to six months for scar tissue to form around the coils to completely block the tubes. If the tubes remain blocked, the failure rate should be similar to surgical tubal ligation.
In men, sterilization is called vasectomy. Before ejaculation, sperm travel through a tube called the vas deferens. At the time of vasectomy, the tubes are tied, cut, clipped, or sealed to prevent the release of sperm. This procedure is highly effective with a failure rate of less than 1%. However, a vasectomy is not effective right away. There may still be sperm in the semen for up to three months after the vasectomy is performed, and men should use back-up contraception for at least eight ejaculations or up to 12 weeks. There is no increase in testicular or prostate cancer in men after a vasectomy.

Wedding Shoes
"The color's almost perfect for my reception dress, and they are adorable."

"I ordered the silver for a wedding I am in. They are the perfect color and the rhinestone accent in the middle of the bow adds the perfect amount of bling. They do run a little short. I ordered an 8, which is my normal size, and my toes are right at the edge. I do think an 8 1/2 would be better. I have not worn them for an extended period of time yet but so far so good on the comfort level."

Green River's Epicenter has been awarded a $2,200 grant for the Fix It First program. Fix It First aims to provide an affordable solution for moderate- to low-income and elderly homeowners by providing the up-front cost and labor for small home repairs through a low-interest loan that can be structured according to household income. The grant is part of an annual competition sponsored by Bike and Build, a national nonprofit that engages young adults ages 18-28 in service-oriented cycling trips across the United States.
Bike and Build operates eight cross-country routes each summer. Approximately 30 riders team up on each of these routes to pedal from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, along the way stopping in hundreds of communities to build with local housing affiliates like the Epicenter and to advocate for the need for increased availability of affordable housing for low-income Americans.
The grant awarded to the Epicenter was made by the Providence, RI to California route (P2C). The 30 riders on this trip, hailing from all over the United States, raised over $149,000 to donate to various housing nonprofits. Bike and Build riders both fundraise the money to support these organizations and make the competitive funding decisions. The P2C group valued the proposal submitted by the Epicenter because of its promise to engage young adults in addressing this serious need in Green River.
"We are deeply proud to support the Epicenter as they work to provide area low-income residents with stable, affordable homes. Our riders work extraordinarily hard to raise the money that funds Bike and Build grants. They are excited to see that effort pay off with such an innovative project idea," said Justin Villere, Bike and Build's Director of Operations and Outreach.
The Epicenter is located in Green River, Utah, and we are "Rural and Proud." To accentuate Green River's rural pride and pioneering spirit, the Epicenter provides housing and business resources and promotes the arts. A passionate, multidisciplinary team of young professionals, we engage, collaborate with, and learn from our community.
For more information about Fix It First, or if you would like to donate, contact Armando Rios at (435)564-3330.
Based in Philadelphia, Bike and Build is a nonprofit organization that encourages young adults to address the country's affordable housing crisis by participating in cross-country bicycle trips each summer. Trip participants, ages 18-28, support the affordable housing cause by fundraising and building. Since 2003, Bike and Build has engaged over 2,000 young adults to contribute over $4.5 million and 160,000 volunteer hours to housing nonprofits throughout the United States. For more information, visit www.bikeandbuild.org or call (267) 331-8488.

Saint Saturus of Africa
Wealthy master of the household of the anti–Christian Arian and then pagan Vandal king Genseric. When Genseric cracked down on the faithful, he tortured Saturus and threatened him with complete poverty and loss of his family and freedom. Saturus refused to deny his faith. Genseric, not wanting to create another martyr for Christians to rally around, stripped him of everything, and Saturus lived out his days as a poor but prayerful miner and cowherd. Friend of and fellow-sufferer with Saint Armogastes of Africa.

Danica Patrick made sure she preserved her car — and thus her No. 1 starting position — for Sunday's Daytona 500
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Like a gambler who goes to bed at 8 p.m. in Las Vegas, Thursday's Daytona 500 qualifying race was no fun for Danica Patrick.
Patrick, the first woman to win a pole in the Sprint Cup Series, finished 17th in her Budweiser Duel race after falling to the back and racing conservatively for much of the 150-mile event.
DUELS: Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch victorious
But in doing so, Patrick made sure she preserved her car — and thus her No. 1 starting position — for Sunday's Daytona 500.
"Just trying to stay out of trouble," she said. "It's not a lot of fun to drop back like that, but it's the right thing to do. It's more important to start on the pole for the Daytona 500 than to get those last few laps of chaos."
NASCAR HISTORY: Patrick stars on, off the track
The Duels set the starting field for the Daytona 500, though Patrick's position had already been secured thanks to her pole position win on Sunday.
LINEUP: Sunday's 55th Daytona 500
There had been debate over what Patrick should do, even up to the minute she climbed in her car: Should the rookie engage in Daytona's tricky draft in an attempt to get more experience, or should she make sure she stayed out of trouble at all costs?
PLAY NOW: USA TODAY Sports Fantasy Racing Challenge
Stewart-Haas Racing co-owner Gene Haas suggested Patrick start the race and then quit after a few laps, since she was guaranteed to start first unless she crashed.
"He's like, 'Man, can we start-and-park?'" crew chief Tony Gibson said. "I'm like, well, I really don't want to."
Gibson said he knew it was frustrating for Patrick to simply ride around in the back of the field — she didn't lead a lap and finished 6.2 seconds behind race winner Kevin Harvick — because "she's a go-getter, man."
"She's a mash-the-gas-and-get-after-it (driver)," he said. "But today we just had to see how the race unfolded and look after our race car."
PHOTOS: Budweiser Duel at Daytona
While Patrick's absence from the draft meant she didn't learn much about how her car would handle in pack-racing conditions, she knew one thing: The outside lane seemed to be far faster than the bottom.
As the pole-sitter, Patrick can choose to start on the outside instead of the inside if she wants — although she didn't know that immediately following the Duel.
"Do I have to start on the inside on Sunday?" she asked reporters. "I'm not really sure. Where does the pole start? The outside is looking pretty nice."
Gibson said they would discuss the option as a team, but said Patrick would "probably start on the outside."
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. said the most important part of Thursday's second Budweiser Duel was bringing his No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing Ford back to the paddock in one piece.
As Stenhouse debriefed with crew chief Scott Graves and team owner Jack Roush, girlfriend Patrick stood atop her hauler talking to her dad, T.J. With Stenhouse's 14th-place finish, both are assured starting positions in Sunday's 500.
Patrick's parents, T.J. and Bev Patrick of Indianapolis, watched Thursday's first qualifying race from the top of the green-and-black GoDaddy.com hauler in the paddock.
"It's all been positive," T.J. Patrick said. "Everybody here is receptive to her and respects her. I don't think it's that big of a surprise to anybody."
T.J. Patrick said the pole position has created more interest among young girls. "I have friends who say now their daughters want to race," he said. "Either they're mad at me or they're happy, one of the two."
One of the most common reactions when fans first see Danica Patrick is her 5-foot, 100-pound frame.
"Whenever people see her for the first time, they say, 'She's so small," Patrick said. "But I think that lets people know — especially young girls — that they can follow their dreams."

Hello there. I apologise for not having replied earlier. I have been so busy this past month, and not much leisure time. My horses are all shown on the hunter/jumper circuit, and I have two for sale! lol They are quite an expense. I tell people the cheapest part of owning a horse is buying it! However, I am a horse-lover and they make the best friends. Many people don't care to own mares because they can be moody, but that is what I own. Three mares. Yes, they can have their grouchy moments, but I find mares to be rather smart, and ready for a challenge! Or perhaps they are ready sometimes, to challenge me!
I have heard about horse slaughter under-cover and criminally speaking, specifically in south Florida. It is awful what is being done, and I hope law enforcement cracks down on this activity. I understand the meat is a delicacy in other parts, yet the horse holds a favoured perch within American society, and indeed, American history. It played an important role as the country's expansion pushed west. I don't see horse meat becoming part of the American diet anytime soon. Let's hope.

Best running shoes for my feet
"I ran track for 8 years before I discovered Sauconys -- what a shame! I probably could have avoided some of my foot and shin injuries. They fit my feet perfectly, and I love the amount of cushioning they provide. I think the key to finding your perfect workout shoe is to try on many different brands and styles, if possible. If you decide you like Sauconys, I think this is a great everyday running shoe and a very good deal. I like the little pop of fluorescent yellow too!"

bright and white with punch of color
"I've bought Saucony's for years. Always perfect size, fit, and comfort. Love the really white with the punch of color on these pair.I ran and walked miles around Las Vegas last week, the only way to get around the strip. Great shoe!"

Love love love this sneaker!
"I just bought these sneakers for running and as soon as I got them home I had to try them out. They are so light weight and comfortable I can not wait to run in them again. They seem to just hug my feet in all the right places and they give very much needed support. I will be making this my new go to sneaker brand!"

Developed in Australia (where they know a thing or
two about beating the heat!), these fabric screens provide effective sun
protection in back yards or on decks and patios. They not only block 90%
of the sun's rays, but also offer a degree of privacy for those with high-rise
neighbors. Providing a much wider range of installation options than typical
deck canopies or patio umbrellas, they can be strategically positioned
to provide the greatest amount of useful shade, and two or more screens
can be used in combination for wider coverage.
Constructed for years of service, they are made of
a rugged 300g/m² knitted high-density polyethylene with taped edges,
reinforced stitching and UV, mold and mildew inhibitors. Secured with
the included heavy-gauge 316 stainless-steel hardware*, the permeable
screens allow wind and rain to pass through, minimizing strain on the
fittings and preventing water from accumulating on top.
All components are strong enough to withstand 25 mph (40km/h) winds.
Available in triangles measuring 11' 10" or 16' 5" along all
edges, or as a 11' 10" square. Installation instructions included.
* Carabiner hooks, turnbuckles and pad eyes are
supplied; some additional materials and fasteners are required for installation.

The commission approved the meeting schedule for the commission for 2010. They will meet the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 9 a.m., except in January when the first meeting is Jan. 5. The Green River meeting will be on Aug. 21 at 9 a.m.
The holiday schedule for 2010 was approved with New Years, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Pioneer Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday and half day Christmas Eve and Christmas Day being approved as holidays for county employees.
In the last meeting of 2009 for the Emery County commission they approved the amendments to the 2009 budget and the 2010 budget as presented. Two public hearings were held to receive public input on opening and amending the 2009 budget for the Emery County General Fund, special revenue funds, capitol project funds and for the Castle Valley Special Service District. The other hearing was for any comments on the 2010 budget.
Eleven old radios were disposed of from the Emery County Sheriffs Office. In personnel items Luann Koch will be hired as a 90 day temporary for the Aquatics Center. Cameron Nerdin was approved as the county building inspector.
Ariauna Arrien was approved for a 3 percent increase after successful completion of her six month orientation period. It was approved to place all existing part-time lifeguards on a grade 5 and all new hire lifeguards will be a grade 4.
Out of state travel was approved for Tina Carter to attend the tourism trade shows upcoming in 2010. The commission discussed and approved the resolution and authorized the execution of a fourth amended interlocal cooperation agreement with other members of Utah Counties Insurance Pool, relating to the establishment, funding and operation of Utah Counties insurance pool.
Mike McCandless, economic development director, explained the resolution for submission of an application to the state of Utah designating commercial and industrial zones as enterprise zones. The county has had enterprise zones since 1999. These zones help companies who are doing expansions obtain credits on their taxes. "It is a big benefit for the county. This is the third time for the renewal with the state. They are renewed every five years," said McCandless.
The commission approved a new fee schedule for the Aquatics Center. Quarterly passes will now be available. Yearly pass holders can have aquasize classes for free.
The right of way renewal agreement for the Cedar Mountain communication structure was approved. This is good for five years and public lands director Ray Petersen said they will see if it can be extended longer than that if possible.
The commission said the only member for the museum of the San Rafael board without an expired term is Jan Petersen. Ramal Jones, Dawnette Tuttle, Kent Petersen, Pete Jones, Cliff Oviatt and Jeff Horrocks terms have expired. The same people can reapply if they want and other interested citizens can apply. The commission will advertise these positions.
The official SITLA lease for the industrial park near Green River was signed on Dec. 9. It just needs an official signature and address from the county to come into affect.
The consideration and approval of the transfer of Title III secure rural school funds to the Emery County general fund for expenditures incurred by the county for search and rescue and other emergency services performed on federal lands was approved. The amount was $19,660 and was advertised that it would be used for this purpose.
In the commission reports Jeff Horrocks reported he attended the Emery County Care and Rehab remodel meeting. The pioneer museum in the Castle Dale City Hall building has a leaky ceiling. He contacted the Castle Dale Mayor Neal Peacock and the structure is sound, but there are leakage problems. "Our main concern is protecting the items at the pioneer museum. They are irreplaceable. The firemen met and discussed training and fire trucks. Cleveland is building a new fire station and they are laying brick. I attended the RAC meeting and they are working on the bear hunting. We had a Christmas get together and we wish the people of Emery County a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year," said Commissioner Horrocks.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth reported the Emery County Care and Rehab project is moving along nicely. Carter Construction is taking a two week break over the holidays and will resume work in January. They hope by the end of January they will be moving into the work in the south wing. The work has been on the offices and the kitchen and laundry portion of the building. No work is being done on the roof.
Commissioner Pitchforth reported she attended Festive Friday where they gave ideas for Christmas and she encouraged those who hadn't attended one to do so because they are fun and filled with fresh ideas for holidays. The Senior Christmas party was held and the elected officials helped serve. The Green River seniors brought cinnamon rolls for everyone and the Ferron seniors brought bread to share. "It was a nice party. I'd like to thank everyone for what they do for our county," said Commissioner Pitchforth.
Commissioner Gary Kofford reported the road projects are on hold for now until the weather breaks.

im not saying there bad
and no captain America is much more built that spider man. im not saying they did bad i think they will both do great im just saying they could have done better on both. i still think HHH would have made a better thor. and i think they could have gone back to the WWE for captain America and could have given john cena a look for that role. but i think he will do fine i just can not get him as the human torch out of my head.
^He's really not that much more fit than S-M. If you read comics than you can see, in civilian clothes, they are basically the same, except a little weight, and height, which healthily should come with height anyway. Even if you disagree, you cannot say his body is not like Batman's. They are in most respects they're own counterparts in the DC/Marvel universes. To fight all types of powers and body types, strength levels, and to master many types and styles of martial arts they have to be extremely fast and agile . They are both pretty much have the maximum peak condition a human body can achieve(albeit 1 by artificial means). To maintain that peak in all areas they would have muscles, and they would be pretty solid and heavy yet they wouldn't be overtly muscular, or bulky since that would take from other things like speed and agility. In most regards they would be able to wear everyday clothes without looking out of place, overly restricted, or being identified as above normal.
And I get what you mean by "the Human Torch" playing Captain America. It is annoying and it will need to resonate during the whole time in my mind that this is CA not the Human Torch. But out of all the candidates, if you include age being a factor against getting a role, Chris Evans was probably the best A-lister choice. It will get even more annoying when I eventually see Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern. Although he suited him to a T and he was who I thought for the last decade should play the role (Deadpool) somewhere in my mind I remebered his character from the Blade 3 movie. Now I'll have 3 movie roles to confuse him with.

i completely disagree i guess because even you said they were different in high and weight and just look different marvel has spider man listed at 5'10 167 and captain America at 6'2 240 so yeah there is a noticeable difference. and i do not think age was a big factor.
Oh yeah, here's the new Superman.
Last edited by Arbitrary; 02-05-2011 at 09:00 AM.
I wonder how Chris Nolan and Zack Snyder do Superman. They're known for their work on predominantly dark graphic novels, and Superman is basically the anti-thesis to that, the cheesy overpowered superhero as opposed to Batman's underdog anti-hero qualities.

Box score
Newark, Del. — Senior Robbie Campbell (Delta, British Columbia) tallied two goals and two assists and senior Kyle Belton (Langley, British Columbia) added two goals to lead the Stony Brook men's lacrosse team to a 7-6 win over No. 18 Delaware Saturday at Delaware Stadium.
Junior Jeff Tundo (Orchard Park, N.Y.) had a game-high three assists for the Seawolves (1-3), who picked up their first win of 2012.
Delaware's Grant Kaleikau, who led the Blue Hens (3-4) with 11 goals and 17 assists entering today's game, was held to two goals and an assist.
Both of Belton's goals came late in the second quarter as Stony Brook erased a two-goal deficit, 5-3.
Freshman Mike Andreassi's (Holbrook, N.Y.) goal at 14:04 of the third quarter allowed Stony Brook to regain a lead it never relinquished.
57 seconds into the fourth, sophomore Matt Bellando (Miami, Fla.) took Campbell's pass five yards from the top of the crease, scoring what proved to be the game-winner.
Kaleikau scored 23 seconds later, ending a scoring drought of nearly 19 minutes. But it was the only goal Delaware scored in the second half as Stony Brook won its sixth straight over the Blue Hens.
"We came into this game with the mindset of limiting man-up opportunities," coach Jim Nagle said. "If you foul only once, your time of possession goes up. I thought for the first time this year, the team came together for the first time."
Senior Ryan Keneally (St. James, N.Y.) and junior Sean Brady (Huntington Bay, N.Y.) split time in goal. Brady finished with five saves and Keneally had four.
Campbell and senior Russ Bonanno (Seaford, N.Y.) tallied man-up goals in the first quarter as Stony Brook led 3-1.
Delaware scored four straight goals to take a 5-3 lead, but Belton tallied back-to-back scores to make it a 5-5 game after one half.
Senior Jared LeVerne (Jericho, N.Y.) tied a career-high with seven ground balls. Junior JJ Laforet (Georgetown, Ontario) also tied a career-high with five ground balls.
Stony Brook will return home for two games next week, beginning with St. John's, which fell to Syracuse, 9-8, Saturday, on Tuesday evening at 7.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Ideal Weight for Conception
You may not know it, but you could be one of the growing number of women in America whose body weight - either too low or, more commonly, too high - is hurting your fertility.
Doctors have known for some time now that being either overweight or underweight can make it harder for a woman to get pregnant. In fact, some experts believe that weight may be a factor in up to 10 percent of infertility cases. In addition, overweight women are more likely to experience pregnancy and birth complications, while underweight women are more likely to have a baby with a low birth weight. The best way to avoid these problems is to achieve the ideal weight for your height before you and your partner make the decision to start a family.
To determine your ideal weight, you can use an equation to calculate your body mass index (BMI), which is an assessment of your weight relative to your height, or a BMI calculator, like the one on the official Web site of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. If your BMI is less than 18.5, you are considered underweight. A normal BMI ranges from 18.5 to 24.9, and 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight. A person with a BMI of 30 or greater is considered obese.
If you are less than 85 percent of your healthy weight, you have a higher risk of giving birth to a baby with a low birth weight. If you are more than 135 percent of your ideal weight, you are more at risk for diabetes, hypertension and a more difficult time during pregnancy and delivery. Being either over or underweight can also cause abnormal menstrual cycles, which can make it extremely difficult - sometimes impossible - to get pregnant.
If you are underweight and your doctor has recommended that you put on a few pounds, that doesn't mean you should start scarfing down the cookies and candy. Do it the healthy way by exercising to build muscle, increasing your energy intake, eating at least three full meals a day, snacking more often and drinking more milk and juice. Extra calories from a nutritious, well-balanced diet will ensure you get the proper nutrients both you and your future baby will need.
Trying to lose weight, on the other hand, may prove to be a more difficult task than trying to gain it. However, a few simple lifestyle changes and a little discipline can help you reach your goal. Stay away from fad diets that eliminate certain types of foods, like the Atkins diet and carbohydrates. Although these diets work for some people, cutting out things like milk products, fruit and vegetables can deny your body of many important vitamins and nutrients that you need to sustain a healthy pregnancy. Stick to foods that are low in fat and high in fiber. Also include plenty of lean protein (fish, chicken) and whole grains, and drink lots of water.
Staying active is just as important and eating healthy. Try to incorporate regular exercise into your daily routine at least three months before you conceive, which will make it easier to maintain an active lifestyle during your pregnancy. Being in shape will also help you during labor. Choose some fun activities you will enjoy, such as hiking, bicycling, swimming, gardening, dancing or weight training. Remember that once you lose the weight, exercise is still important for keeping it off. But don't overdo it! Start slowly and be sure not to overwork your body. Aim to lose one to two pounds a week, which will ensure you're losing fat rather than fluid or muscle.
Just remember whether you need to shed or gain a few pounds, the closer you are to your ideal weight, the better your chances are of conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy.

Closing the United States Postal Service for the town of Emery was of major concern to the residents. This concern culminated in a town hall meeting held Oct. 11 at the Emery Recreation building. More than 160 people were in attendance.
John Barkley and David Matheson from the United States Postal Service and Randy Anderson, the Emery Postmaster, were on hand to explain what the future held for the town of Emery with regard to their continuing or not continuing to have a post office. Prior to starting the meeting several people came to the microphone and loudly vented their frustrations, feelings and opinions about the possible closure of the Emery Post Office. These feelings and opinions were received by the group with loud clapping and cheers. Some of this boisterous attitude continued on into the meeting. A petition was being circulated for signatures concerning the closure of the Emery Post Office.
Emery Mayor Mistie Christiansen welcomed everyone, asked them to be respectful of others and then read a letter from Congressman Jim Matheson. This letter outlined the difficulties the USPS was having in continuing to function as a viable business, due to the loss of revenue to competing forms of communication. The USPS ended the year 2010 in debt $12 billion dollars. The USPS has announced the potential closure of 3,652 post offices across the country. In Utah the following post office branches are being considered for closure, Clawson, Dutch John, Emery, Hanksville, Henrieville, Lyman and Whiterocks.
Federal law sets out a closure process, which takes at least 120 days to close a post office branch. The USPS must notify the affected public and hold a 60-day comment period prior to closing a post office. If the USPS decides to proceed with the closure, the public has 30 days to appeal the decision to the Postal Regulatory Commission. USPS may shut down a post office 60 days after it has made a closure decision. The USPS has said there will be no service changes or branch closures before late December 2011.
Congressman Matheson further stated in his letter, post offices offer important services to the public and I understand the concerns regarding the closure of these branches. Changes need to be made to keep this organization solvent and I remain committed to finding solutions to address growing concerns over the fiscal stability of the USPS.
Senator David Hinkins, Commissioners Laurie Pitchforth and James R. Nelson were also in attendance at this meeting.
Emery Post Office, Postmaster Anderson introduced Barkley, Manager of the US Post Office Operations for Southern Utah and Dave Matheson a USPS retail specialist for the Salt Lake District. Anderson said this is not a done deal. However the Emery Post Office is under review and crowds like this will help.
Barkley thanked everyone for coming and said, "We are from the post office, Salt Lake City District Office. Our district covers Utah and the major part of Idaho. We are here to talk to you about a really sensitive subject. For the past 12 years I have had the privilege of working with Randy Anderson a good man.
"I know that the closure of your post office is a very emotional topic. This decision is being made economically. The decision has been pressed on us at the national level and falls in line with the economics of our nation today. Until 2007 our organization was still growing by leaps and bounds. When the economic downfall came in 2008, that is when the postal service began to see a tremendous decline in revenues and in the products that were being presented to us.
"Our number one growth product from which we gain the most revenue, to keep our services going, is first class mail. First class mail has declined at a phenomenal rate and continues to decline.
"Every time we lose one piece of first class mail to electronic bill pay, electronic communication, electronic greeting card or for whatever purpose, we have to generate five new pieces of advertising mail to offset that cost.
"In 1971 the postal service was reorganized. Prior to that time it was the post office department. When it was reorganized some services were discontinued. Such as twice a day delivery to homes in cities and three times a day delivery to businesses. Delivery of mail was reduced to one delivery per day. For rural delivery, you always received your mail through a no fee post office box. The point is that we have had to consolidate because of technology and because of costs due to the loss of customers using our services. The goal of the postal service is to work leaner, faster and smarter so that we can stay relevant and so that you will use the services that we provide.
"Prior to the 1971 Reorganization Act for the Post Office you the taxpayers paid for any shortfall in revenue.
"One of the major things about the 1971 Reorganization Act was that we were mandated by Congress to operate at a break even point. In other words our revenue had to equal our costs. That means that our rates for first class, second class, periodicals, parcel post and priority mail and all of those other postal services had to cover our costs. We have to factor in our costs for an extensive transportation network, an extensive processing network, an extensive delivery network and an extensive retail network. All of those services have been scrutinized and worked on to become leaner, faster and smarter. We have done a great job over the past 40 years. All of those services have been made more efficient. We no longer have teams of postal workers manually throwing the mail. In 1980 the delivery point bar code sorter was put on line. We can now process entire zip codes in five-10, 20, 30-40 minutes depending upon the size and the number of deliveries in that zip code. That automation kept us viable in our costs. While we had moderate rate increases. They never exceeded the consumer index. We have become as efficient as we possibly can.
"In 2006 another reorganization or another piece of legislation was passed, Congress set on us some requirements to prefund health care, to prefund retirements, to prefund other employee benefits at a rate much greater than the private sector. The postal service is fighting to get those mandates reversed and that fight goes on. Prior to that time the postal service was meeting the requirement to operate at a break even point."
Barkley continued, "Without some of those costly mandates, this postal service would have ended 2011 in the black with $1.7 billion. As it exists right now, we are looking at losing between $10-15 billion because we are prefunding a lot of things. We cannot continue to do that because we have a debt ceiling, that was put upon us in that same reorganization act. We can only borrow a certain amount of money similar to the Federal Government.
"One of the strategies that is being pushed out to us in the field is the requirement to look at all of the post offices that meet a certain criteria for discontinuance of their retail services. Each of you received in your questionnaires this summer, information about the process that has to be followed, which under the Reorganization Act we can do if we follow the regulations. Remember this is a process. No decision has been made. That decision will be made at the headquarters level after all of the questionnaires have been read, all of the meetings have been held and an extensive analysis of the costs of what we propose to do, verses what actually exists today. We plan to make it as efficient and as cost effective and maintain our requirements for service in this community.
"If that decision goes forward, here are some of the proposed alternate delivery methods for you to receive your mail.
"You get your mail presently through your post office box here in Emery and it is a no fee box. One of the proposals is to take the boxes here and consolidate them with the boxes in Ferron. One of the advantages of putting the boxes in Ferron is as follows: none of your addresses change, none of your zip codes change, none of how you get your mail changes except the location which is about 14 miles away," said Barkley.
At this point the audience erupted to correct Barkley. They reminded him it was a 30 mile round trip. He then said, "In our proposal that goes to headquarters it is necessary to have that information in the proposal.
"Another proposal is that you set up a village post office in either a business in the community or one of the community services. That community service could apply for a village post office. Information is available to anyone interested in filing to do that. There are a limited amount of retail services that go along with that. They would maintain the post office the same as you now have here in Emery. The zip code and the address stays the same. The mail is put in the boxes by whoever was approved in the contract to do that. That person would be under the same criteria as the postmaster or a city carrier and they are scrutinized by the Postal Inspection Service.
"A third thing that we can do and that is we can give you street delivery. Street delivery is a group of cluster boxes installed after working out a location in the community for placing those boxes. Then we would have a contracted delivery route person come and service those boxes. It is not curb line box delivery. It will be delivery to the cluster box location that we work out with the community. We would try to select a location convenient for the general population here.
"That is what we can do under the Reorganization ACT if we decide that we want to discontinue retail services here in the community. Retail services are such things as stamps, packages and postage. There are pros and cons for all three of those proposals. I do not have all the answers. Dave Matheson will take notes and we will write down some of the things we do not have answers to. In each of your packets is a letter that I signed, there is a contact phone number. If you have questions feel free to call and ask. More than 3,500 post offices have met the criteria for retail discontinuance. We are going though the process on each of those 3,500. We have a clipboard in the back and we would like for you to put your name on that to indicate your support for this issue," stated Barkley.
Before the questioning session began Postmaster Anderson recognized that Senator David Hinkins, Commissioner J. R. Nelson and Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth were in the audience. He said, "David Hinkins had been at the other meeting and his comments and support were appreciated." The meeting was then opened up to the group for questions.
Barkley said, "In answer to a question about retail service at the Emery Post Office, we just printed out our financial performance report for the fiscal year 2011. The retail revenue that was generated at this post office was $10,994. The year before it was almost $18,000 you declined almost 40 percent in the use of our services. That is the trend. To keep that post office open costs us $90,000 a year.
"In this change of consolidation you will not get the same level of retail service that Randy has given you. We are in a competitive market place. In 2006 only one service was left for us and that was first class service. We have competition with everyone of our other products. We now deliver a huge amount of residential deliveries for UPS and Fed Ex. Fed Ex is our partner. They transport our mail over the country. We work with them and they work with us. We are now required to compete and a lot of our rates are fixed on that. We are mandated to provide a level of service. In the last 10 years the level of service on overnight, second day and three day mail has grown from 50 percent, to 75 percent to 80 percent and last year, on the test pieces, the change in this geographical area, or zip codes 845, 846 and 847 tested by IBM, we are required to pay them to test, for every 100 letters that were processed in this area 97.17 percent of them were delivered overnight. That is phenomenal service, but it comes at a cost. We had to do something to become more efficient so that we do not price ourselves out of the market. Otherwise there would be no postal service at all. Our commitment is to give you alternate accesses for postal services, like USPS.com, stamps by mail, and stamps by phone. For those that are into electronic communication, you can order stamps using your computer.
If someone in the community decides to apply for a Village Post Office. We will provide retail products at that Village Post Office.
The thought of the community providing a structure and putting your Post Office boxes in that structure is good. We then could have our delivery person service that location. That is the simplest solution. We have done this in several other towns.
Mayor Christiansen pointed out that Emery owns the building that now houses the Post Office. The USPS is paying $563 rent a month to the city of Emery.
Barkley said, If you selected the option of leaving the Post Office Boxes in that structure and under the control of the city. That would be revenue lost to the city if you kept the building open as a non-personnel unit. We would not continue to pay that rent. We would not provide retail services there.
Mayor Christiansen then discussed the road to Ferron in the winter and the hardship it would put upon the elderly and others. When they would have to travel the 15 miles to Ferron to get their mail and medicines by mail. She then pointed out that closing these rural Post Offices will not save the USPS very much money as compared to consolidating some of the larger post offices in big cities. We have heard, by closing Post Offices on Saturday you would save $2 billion, whereas if you close 3,652 Post Offices you save 26 million. Rural people pay the same taxes as urban people do. Do not close the rural Post Offices.
Barkley said, Closing the Post Offices on Saturday was one of the strategies discussed last year The major mailers oppose closing Post Offices on Saturday. The mailing industry is worth $2 trillion nationwide. The mailing industry in this country is larger than oil and gas and the mailing industry has great influence with our congressional leaders.
He then said, Now that I know, that Emery owns the Post Office building, that makes the change to be almost seamless. If you want to propose that, we will put it into the packet as our recommendation. Where ever we have done that it has worked out well as far as receiving and collecting the mail. The only obstacle to overcome is where do you get your retail services or from where do you get your postage.
An Emery resident asked, would saving $90,000 by closing the Emery Post Office save the USPS? He then complained about the bureaucratic government and suggested that the Post Office do away with Saturday mail to save money. I think it is ridiculous to take the Post Office away from the community. Causing us to have to drive 30 miles back and forth to Ferron. There are a lot of us that cannot afford it.
Barkley replied, No! Saving $90,000 will not save the USPS. I appreciate your concerns. I could list for you what we have done to stay efficient. We have not hired any employees in more than five years. We have cut down from 790,000 employees. We are now down to 527,000 nationwide and we are going to 400,000. We are doing everything we can to reduce costs. This is our last ditch effort. In the bureaucratic office that I work in there are only a handful left. The reality of this decision is not the bureaucrats in Washington. We are going to do everything we can to make this relevant into generations to come.
An elderly lady from Emery said, I would not be able to drive to Ferron everyday and I realize the Federal Government and the Post Office are two different organizations. She asked, If you put in cluster boxes for street delivery would there be more than one location?
Mr. Barkley's answer: The cluster boxes would be free standing and you would have to give us an easement to put cluster boxes on the property. We would install those cluster boxes. The travel distance between Emery and Ferron is in your favor. Our preference is to have one location as we have now. We would have to put in a proposal and see what gets approved. Regarding the Village Post Office if someone in your community applied for that and we granted that through their application. Then there would be negotiated an amount of compensation, but it would be a minimal amount.
The proposal of going to five day or three day delivery, because of the law we cannot change our delivery. The Postal Service is a business. It is a business of the government and the legislative law dictates the frequency of delivery and our rates. We are working with our legislative representatives to try and amend some of those rules. The five day proposal is before congress now and is being worked on.
The Emery Librarian asked, If we have a Village Post Office, how does the mail get to the Village Post Office and who is going to process the mail into those boxes.
Barkley said, The person that was approved for the Village Post Office would put the mail into the boxes. In some places for example Walmart offers Post Office retail services. Through collective bargaining the Clerical Workers Union fought letting Walmart sell services. Then they saw, that is the future. This is what we are proposing. If you have a retail outlet here that we can put our service in, we will put it in and they can apply for becoming a Village Post Office. As long as they meet the criteria which provides you security for your mail service. We will provide service through that retail outlet.
We have a delivery driver that drops the mail off to Randy in Emery every day and picks it up. This driver lays over for a lay over period of time. That is because there has to be a certain amount of time between the time the mail is delivered in the morning and the mail is picked up in the evening so that it can be processed and the retail services take place. Then the mail is collected and it goes through an extensive network up to Price, Utah. There it is consolidated to a run into the Provo facility. There is time in that drivers contract that he would not just be laying over, he could be delivering your mail to your postal boxes. As you know Emery is at the end of the run.
Another Emery resident asked are they closing post offices in the cities or is it just the little Post Offices, because we do not buy enough? She also asked, why the USPS have four processing locations in Salt Lake City? She then pointed out several residents that did not have computers and could not communicate by computer.
Barkley replied, We have more than 500 processing locations throughout the nation and we are closing 300 of those down. We as a district last month consolidated 25 processing facilities into Boise, Idaho and there are others being reviewed. The volume of mail that is being processed in automated equipment by computer in 5 to 10 to 40 minutes. We just do not have enough mail to run them now. That is the reality.
Even our management now does not mail, or call, they send text messages. We are looking at everything we can to try and save money to work leaner, smarter and faster. We just closed down our airport retail facility at the Salt Lake City airport. They met the same criteria that we are looking at here.
Another Emery resident wanted to know more about the government mandates that are making the USPS unprofitable. He suggested Mr. Barkley's podium should be in a large populated area where he would get more people to come out with their concerns. Mr. Barkley replied, the major portion of my time is on those big dollar opportunities. We have already applied to manage our own health care. Instead of living with the mandate. All facilities are being looked at with regards to profitability, not only in the rural areas, but also in the cities.
This meeting is just one of the strategies that is being looked at. We have the largest retail network in the world, bigger than Walmart and bigger than McDonalds. We cannot continue to support that infrastructure any longer. This is just a starting process to consolidate and to go into new technology. We are consolidating delivery and consolidating jobs. We recently consolidated clerical jobs. We are cutting down. Most of my time is spent reducing staffing not eliminating Post Offices. There is our biggest dollar savings.
An Emery resident was concerned about the increase in traffic at the Ferron Post Office right across the street from the Elementary School and the dangers to the children.
Barkley said, that facility in Ferron was set up to house the boxes that we propose to move there and the community would serve that. Ferron has a large parking lot. Facilities in Salt Lake that do much more are a lot smaller. We would not make that recommendation if we did not have sufficient space. When we locate a Post Office, we work with the community for the location. The town council was in on the selection of the location.
Another resident was concerned about the 40 percent of the population in Emery that are elderly and get their medications though the mail. The 15 miles to Ferron and 15 miles back to Emery in a winter snowstorm could prevent them getting their medications on time. Locating the boxes in Ferron would be a problem.
Barkley replied, that is just one proposal and that is a definite downside to that proposal. He then suggested, as a community these are things that you need to consider. The Mayor and the community should look at the proposals presented and as a community consider which would proposal would best benefit the community. The Village Post Office, since the town owns the building, might be an honorable solution and have the town manage that. That would keep your economic growth where you want it. You could provide retail services through your employees and we would keep the boxes there.
Mayor Mistie pointed out that the town of Emery would lose the rent for the building if they set up a Village Post Office and incur the cost of staffing the Post Office. She also pointed out that if they went to a Village Post Office, this town would have to foot the bill. If we continue to use that Post Office you will have to pay the heat, the lights, insurance and the maintenance of the building. That would be a major increase in your taxes that you do not have to pay now.
Barkley thanked everyone for listening to him, he appreciated the comments, suggestions and questions. Dave Matheson made many notes from the review. There are pros and cons to each of these proposals. You will have to go through them and decide which is best for your town. Once the decision is made it will be posted at your Post Office. Then you will have an appeal process. That is an important process that protects your rights. The US Postal Service is all of us together and we hope we make the best decision for this community and I hope for the Postal Service to remain intact.
Mayor Mistie Christiansen thanked John Barkley and Dave Matheson for coming to Emery, listening to comments, and explaining how the USPS viewed Emery and other similar towns.
She then said, she was disappointed in how this was handled, because she first learned about this process from a newspaper reporter for the Salt Lake Tribune. That was before she heard anything from the Postal Service. Randy said he tried to tell me. But an official word from higher up did not arrive until last Saturday. I am disappointed in the whole Postal System for not posting a notification earlier.
Barkley apologized, to the Mayor, for the Postal Service. You were notified as soon as we knew the process was going this far. We are under a rigid time frame. If it seems short because you got rumored by some other source it was exactly that a rumor.

Fibertech Networks LLC has activated an outdoor metro small cell site for a wireless carrier carrying commercial traffic. It is believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, officials said.
"There has been a tremendous amount of press and speculation in the wireless segment about small cell, and the potential explosion of wireless carrier's deployment of this technology, but until now it has been limited to planning discussions and internal testing," said Michael Hurley, vice president of sales and marketing, in a statement.
The recently completed installation was its customer's first small cell to carry live commercial traffic, Hurley said. It demonstrates Fibertech abilities in the growing technology.
The fiber-optic network company has a significant position in the wireless sector and has built out fiber to thousands of cell towers throughout the 11 states in which it operates, Fibertech officials said.
The company expects small cell installations will be an important part of a wireless carrier's business solutions to create a strong broadband network reach.
Fibertech, which recently expanded into Detroit, also also has networks operational in Rochester, Buffalo, Albany, Binghamton, Syracuse and White Plains; Philadelphia and Pittsburgh; Indianapolis; Akron, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo, Ohio; Providence, R.I.; Hartford, Bridgeport, Stamford, Danbury, New London and New Haven, Conn.; Springfield and Worcester, Mass.; Dover and Wilmington, Del; Montgomery County, Md.; and Atlantic City, Newark and Trenton, N.J.
