Premature babies need to receive good nutrition so they reach a weight close what they would have gained if they were still inside the womb.
Alternative Names
Newborn nutrition; Nutritional needs – premature infants
Babies born less than 37 weeks in the womb (premature) have different nutritional needs than babies born at full term (38 to 42 weeks).
Premature babies will often stay in the neonatal intensive care unit. There they are watched closely to make sure they are getting the right balance of fluids and nutrition.
Incubators or special warmers help babies maintain their body temperature. This reduces the energy the babies have to use to stay warm. Moist air is also used to help them maintain body temperature and avoid fluid loss.
Babies born before 34 weeks often have problems feeding from a bottle or a breast. This is because they have a hard time coordinating sucking, breathing, and swallowing.
Other illness can also interfere with a newborn's ability to feed through a nipple. Some of these include:
- Breathing problems
- Low oxygen levels
- Circulation problems
- Blood infection
Newborn babies that are very small or sick may need to get nutrition and fluids through a vein (IV).
As they get stronger, they can start to get milk or formula through a tube that goes into the stomach through the nose or mouth. This is called gavage feeding. The amount of milk or formula is increased very slowly. This reduces the risk of an intestinal infection called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Babies who are fed human milk are less likely to get NEC.
Babies who are less premature (born at or after 34 weeks gestation) often can be fed from a bottle or the mother's breast. Premature babies may have an easier time with breastfeeding than bottle feeding at first. This is because the flow from a bottle is harder for them to control and they can choke or stop breathing.
Preterm babies have a harder time maintaining the proper water balance in their bodies. These babies can become dehydrated or overhydrated.
- They may lose more water through the skin or respiratory tract than babies born at full term.
- The kidneys in a premature baby have not grown enough to control water levels in the body.
- The NICU team keeps track of how much premature babies urinate (by weighing their diapers) to make sure that their fluid intake and urine output are balanced.
- Blood tests are also done to monitor electrolyte levels.
Human milk from the baby's own mother is the best for babies born early and at very low birth weight.
- Breast milk can protect babies against infections and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) as well as NEC.
- Some NICUs will give donor milk from a milk bank to very high-risk babies who are not able to have milk from their own mother.
- Special preterm formulas can also be used. These formulas have a higher amount of fat and protein to meet the special growth needs of premature babies.
- Older preterm babies (34 to 36 weeks gestation) may be switched to regular formula or a transitional formula.
Premature babies have not been in the womb long enough to store up the nutrients they need and must usually take supplements.
- Babies who are given breast milk may need a supplement called human milk fortifier mixed into their feedings. This gives them extra protein, calories, iron, calcium, and vitamins.
- Babies fed formula may need to take supplements of certain nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and D, and folic acid.
- Some infants will need to continue taking nutritional supplements after they leave the hospital. For breastfeeding infants, this may mean a bottle or two of fortified breast milk per day. Some babies will need more supplementation than others in order to get enough calories to grow well. After each feeding, babies should seem satisfied. They should have up to 6 to 8 stools and at least 6 to 8 wet diapers each day. Watery or bloody stools or regular vomiting could signal a problem.
Weight gain is monitored closely for all babies.
- In the NICU, babies are weighed every day.
- It's normal for babies to lose weight in the first few days of life. Most of this loss is water weight.
- Most premature infants should start gaining weight within a few days of birth.
The desired weight gain depends on the baby's size, gestational age, and health.
- It might be as little as 5 grams a day for a tiny baby at 24 weeks, or 20 grams a day for a larger baby at 33 weeks.
- In any case, a baby should gain about a quarter of an ounce each day for every pound he or she weighs. (This is equal to 15 grams per kilogram per day).
Premature babies do not leave the hospital until they are gaining weight steadily and in an open crib rather than an incubator. Some hospitals have a rule how much the baby must weigh before going home. In general, babies are at least 4 pounds before they are ready to come out of the incubator.

Hmm.....have been craving for chocolate lately. My dear friend has passed me some rich and nice chocolate from Singapore. I don't know why they don't sell it here....???
I don't want to waste it on something i'm not confident with, so i came up with this Classic Chocolate Mousse....Actually it was a recipe i searched online long time ago, but can't really remember the add of it. I remembered it was with a video, which i can see exactly how to make the mousse. I did jot down the details of it, keep it until now without trying...haha!
Here's the recipe...
120g Good quality Chocolate
30g Unsalted butter
6 Egg yolks
6 Egg whites
1tbsp Sugar
1 cup Whipped Cream
~ Double boil (melted) the chocolate, add in butter and stir well
~ Cool the chocolate slightly then add in egg yolks one at a time, mix well
~ Whisk egg white until they are foamy and begining to hold a shape
~ Add in sugar and beat until soft peak formed
~ Add into the chocolate mixture (separate the egg whites into 3 portion, so that its easier to mix)
~ Fold gently in one direction
~ Whipped cream until soft peak form, add into mixture ( same as mixing the egg whites)
~ Fold gently until well combine
~ Spoons into cups or cake tin then chill till harden
** I spoons into cups then placed a thin slice of chocolate sponge cakein the middle and topped with the mousse again.
** For the cake, i used a 4.5" round tin, add a thin layer at the base then layered with mousse. Then add another layer of cake and topped with the mousse again
For the sponge...........
125g Eggs
63g Sugar
55g Cake flour
25ml Water
8g cocoa powder
30g Melted butter
~ Whisk at high speed the eggs, sugar, flour and water until light and fluffy
~ Lastly fold in the melted butter which is already mixed with cocoa powder
~ Pour mixture into a flat square or round 9" pan lined with cake paper.
~ Bake at 180'C for 25-30 minutes
** May cut the cake into 2 layers if its too thick
Result?!.....Its great! Everybody loves it!...:)
Especially the kids...my daughter said its an ice cream cake...;p. My husband likes it too....YES! That's the most important comment..huh!...hee hee!
Anyway, i'm quite happy with it too....:)
Its simple and delicious! This is not sweet at all, and its worth a try! Enjoy!!....:)

TSF is busy with U.S. Open coverage: I'm up to my ears in fashion features; JNP has been on the grounds for the qualies — he's been taking photos, talking to coaches, getting tennis balls signed by players; Chris has been thinkin' about his picks for this year's singles winners; and contributor Michael Shaw pens a post for later today. Look out for it.
Meanwhile, Chris' 2007 U.S. Open picks (see draws here.):
Quarters: Federer d. Roddick, Baghdatis d. Almagro, Djokovic d. Moya, Nadal d. Chela
Semis: Federer d. Baghdatis, Nadal d. Djokovic
Final: Federer d. Nadal
Federer? Yawn! I'm sure it's no surprise that I'm yet another person to pick Federer to win it. But don't worry, I picked Nadal over Djokovic. Nole has been a better player this summer, but I think Nadal has performed better in the Slams and will have a slight fitness advantage in best-of-five matches. And as much as I love Djokovic (him winning means he'll shed as many layers of clothing as possible), I think his hubris is gonna catch up with him in New York. Of course, Ancic could fire it up in the first round, or possibly Stepanek in the second round, in which case I see Hewitt taking that vacated semifinal spot.
Grand Slam mainstay: I think Moya has a fairly light run to the quarterfinals with the only real trouble I see coming from Youzhny in the third round. Following Youzhny's success last year (and his comparative lack there of it this summer), I see him going down in three to the Spaniard.
Chela?: I know he hasn't had a great summer, but I think he could be in the lightest section of the men's draw with seeds Gonzalez (no wins this summer?) and perennial Slam underachiever Ljubicic. The only threatsI is the winner of the Dancevic–Safin first round match. I pick Dancevic. But if Safin wins he could make a run to the final.
Another Spaniard: I'd also keep an eye on Ferrer. He'll have a pretty routine trip to the round of 16 (notice how much I'm discrediting Nalbandian) and if Nadal is having an off day, I think it's against Ferrer that he would be ripe for the upset.
Rest o' the top half: Up in the top half, I know a lot has been said about Federer's name being drawn above five qualifiers but I don't envy facing possibly Gasquet or Ferrero in the fourth round. If Isner finds his form again (one hot week does not a player make; he coasted on his anonymity and no one knowing how he plays), I think he could take a set off Federer. But that's only if the giant makes it past Nieminen (who had easy wins over Spadea and Robredo in Cincy).
Resurgent Roddick?: Andy Roddick might be game to take a set off R-Fed in the quarterfinals — maybe even two sets if it's a night match. If people want to talk about the draw being rigged, I don't think they would've put Federer against Andy so early. And the Texan wouldn't be facing Mathieu (my pick) or Berdych in the fourth round, and likely Karlovic in the third. Also, let's remember that Andy's fallen to a huge server (Gilles Mueller) in the early round of a prior Open.
Open quarter at the Open: Baghdatis and Almagro will benefit from this section. Blake and Davydenko won't survive. The Russian's carrying the weight from the betting scandal. The scrutiny's worse now than earlier in the summer; the USTA's hired extra security specifically to prevent match-fixing at Flushing Meadows. Plus, he just had a hell of a time getting past Young in New Haven. I think that makes Almagro able to sneak through there. Aren't Canas and Murray capable of beating Almagro though? Most other times, yes. I don't see Murray and his bad wrist going past the second round (unless Brad Gilbert has been hiding him all summer to do something dramatic in NYC). And Canas has cooled down significantly since taking out Roger twice in the spring.
I'm picking Baghdatis in the lower section of that quarter because I think Blake will be a little too confident after his New Haven win and may get slowed down by possible memoir-related media appearances (which, for my money, was a boring read). Haas is nevery healthy and Baghdatis always seems to do his best at the Slams. He'll follow last year's loss to Agassi with something equally as memorable.
What do you think of Chris' picks? Tell us!

Oswego County Federal Credit Union (OCFCU), joined with ABC News' Good Morning America (GMA) to help the Gunn family of Oswego save more than $58,000 with a Savings Makeover, said Bill Carhart, OCFCU CEO.
"Tom and Nancy Gunn of Oswego, two of our members, were selected by GMA from hundreds of people who wrote in asking to be part of the show's Savings Makeover series," Carhart said. "GMA's Consumer Correspondent, Elizabeth Leamy, taped the segment at OCFCU's new Mexico branch at 5530 Scenic Ave. (Route 3).
Total savings for the Gunn family was $58,288. To achieve this, a variety of areas of their finances were re-vamped or revised, Carhart said. They were able to save $4,632 over the next two years by revising their cell phone, cable and Internet plans. A copycat grocery-shopping program is slated to save them $3,900 a year.
"We also worked with Brendan Higgins of the Thousand Islands Agency, Clayton, to save the family $2,082 on their car insurance. Aimee Johnson, our senior loan officer, worked with the Gunns to refinance their mortgage and have it paid off in 11 years instead of 19 years, which saves $33,473. Finally, we combined two car loans and existing credit card debt into one loan to be paid off in three years, the Gunns will save another $13,684.
"You don't have to win a national contest to save on your finances, however, Oswego County FCU works with our members on financial makeovers every day. I encourage anyone who wants to improve their overall finances to join us and see Aimee or any one of our loan officers. They're always ready to help."
"We are thrilled to have won this opportunity and amazed at the results," said Nancy Gunn. " Both ABC's Elizabeth Leamy and Oswego County Federal Credit Union worked so hard to help us achieve these savings and they did it well beyond our expectations. We will always be grateful."
To see the story, which aired Dec. 22, go to GMA's home page: http://abcnews.go.com/gma and type "Savings Makeover" in the search box.
Founded in 1975, OCFCU is a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative association, which serves more than 6,300 members from throughout Oswego County. OCFCU's charter was revised in early 2007 so that anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in Oswego County is eligible to join.
OCFCU has two offices in Oswego. The 300 W. 1st St. office can be reached at 326-0138 and the 175 E. 7th St. office can be reached at 343-7822. The Mexico office can be reached at 963-2722. Further information can also be found online at www.oswegofcu.com.

Competition winners from a Windows Phone Developer Camp have been announced. The Dev Camp, sponsored by T-Mobile, saw a "huge" amount apps being submitted to win smartphones running Microsoft's OS. Much like we've seen elsewhere, these sessions aid developers who are new to the platform, who'd like to network and pick up on some skills and knowledge from more experienced personnel.
So what are the seven winning apps we speak of?
- AquaGuard - a tower defense game that puts the player in charge of preventing water pollution affecting populated countries with strategically placed defenses.
- Nastani Time.mk* - an event planner for residents of Macedonia. The app enables users to check out latest events, plan ahead and receive reminders.
- LiquidLab - a thought-intensive game that requires the player to measure liquid in glass beakers, sounds easy? How about doing this with now measuring instruments or guides?
- ColorFever - enjoy puzzles? You'll want to check out ColorFever. The object of this game is to paint the entire board with a single colour, but not everything is as straight forward as it sounds.
- ProveriBroj* - a simple app that enables users to check the mobile provider of any given number. Data is supplied by the AEC database.
- Najeftino* - this handy shopping app acts as a comparison tool, where consumers can compare the prices of multiple products.
- Be Humane - the last winning app is a charity based solution, which provides users with the tools to view upcoming charitable events (blood donation, etc.) and more.
* denotes apps in Macedonian only.

Steve Brandt's Feb. 28 article ("Funds for election come up short") addressed only one of the serious shortcomings of Minneapolis' ranked-choice voting system (RCV). Brandt pointed out that Minneapolis will need $1.7 million to "properly run" the system, which costs five times more per vote than traditional voting, according to the article.
What is more important is the potential disenfranchisement the RCV system inflicts on minority and less-affluent voters. According to official Minneapolis election reports from its first RCV election in 2009, 6.4 percent of all ballots cast contained an error. Even more alarming, 27 percent of the ballots cast in the predominantly East African/Somali precinct in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood contained ballot errors.
In the Fifth Ward, an area of north Minneapolis with an African-American adult population of more than 50 percent, the voter error rate was more than 14 percent. In other predominately African-American, Latino/Hispanic and Native American voting precincts, the incidence of error was nearly 20 percent.
Yet in the most affluent areas around the chain of lakes in south Minneapolis, the ballot error rate was 2 percent. Affluent areas had a proportionally higher voter turnout and lower ballot error rates than other parts of the city. As a result, precincts with large low-income and minority populations counted less than white/affluent voting precincts. That's not a fair vote at all.
This pattern merits the full attention of legislators, City Council members, city election officials and all people concerned with voting rights.
RCV advocates are now attempting to pass state legislation to permit any city, county, school district or township to adopt RCV by referendum or by unanimous vote of their elected governing bodies. RCV advocates argue it should simply be a matter of local choice. Sounds simple? Wrong!
The claims of these proponents merit strict scrutiny and are highly suspect, based on Minneapolis' 2009 election.
Our state Supreme Court ruled that RCV was constitutional on its face, but reserved judgment as to its constitutionality "as applied." The court's decision cited seven arguments that the city of Minneapolis and FairVote, the organization promoting RCV, made to justify the decision to permit the method. Four of those arguments proved to be false, based on the 2009 election results.
The city and proponents of RCV said:
• RCV would save money because of the need for only one election. Brandt's article proves otherwise.
• RCV would increase voter turnout. There were 46,000 votes cast in 2009, the lowest turnout in a city election since 1913 (seven years before women were allowed to vote). Voter turnout fell by 34 percent in 2009.
• RCV would eliminate plurality winners and ensure majority winners. This claim also proved untrue. In the Park and Recreation Board's Fifth District, the incumbent won with just 46.1 percent.
• RCV would promote minority representation. This was perhaps the most serious failure. Census data from 2010 reflect a city that is 40 percent ethnic/racial minorities. The number of minority office holders in city municipal offices decreased in the 2009 election. In the Park Board "at large" race, an incumbent African-American female, the top vote-getter in the 2005 election, lost the 2009 RCV election.
Using traditional election methods, 27 percent of the legislators from Minneapolis are minority and 44 percent of Minneapolis school board members are minority. Of Minneapolis' 25 municipal elected officials, only two (or 8 percent) are minority. You be the judge of which election method works best in this state for minority groups.
It would be extremely unwise to open the entire state up to such a suspect method of voting. Certainly no one should accept the stated reasons for using RCV as true. They simply have not been proven. Minneapolis voters adopted RCV after being told that it would save money, increase turnout, eliminate plurality winners and increase minority representation. All four claims were false.
Voting ought to be clear and simple. RCV is neither. Voting should give each citizen an equal chance to be heard. The great American experiment was and still is our democracy. By my measure, the 2009 election was a failed experiment. Let's see what RCV does in 2013 and then determine if it has a role in our precious democracy.

4.0 hours Tiny Homes and Other Alternative Properties Course Syllabus
Course Syllabus:
4.0 Elective Hours
Television shows like Tiny House, Big Living and Tiny House Nation have brought tiny houses into the consciousness of many Americans and sparked interest in this way of living. However, living in tiny homes and other alternative properties is a normal way of life for what appears to be a growing number of Americans. Some live in alternative forms of housing by choice and others live in them out of necessity. For example, some tiny homeowners want to create simpler lives or reduce their carbon footprints. Others want to escape high rents and mortgages, and some need to transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency. For these reasons and others, tiny houses have ignited a movement, sparked debate, and caused some to connect their popularity to socioeconomic issues that affect the country. This course provides detailed information about the tiny house movement and other forms of alternative housing.

When the new owners of this beautiful wood-clad home decided they needed to update and add a bit more space to the house, who better to renovate it than the architects who designed the original? Re-enter, New York-based Bates Masi + Architects, who worked out a plan to enlarge the kitchen and dining areas, modernize the bathrooms, and refinish the floors, walls and counter tops. Materials and wood from the house were kept and re-used in the renovation, minimizing the need for new materials.
Bates Masi + Architects designed the house 35 years ago as a vacation home in Amagansett, Long Island. The home was almost exclusively constructed with 12-inch wide cypress clapboards. It included floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors and some brick interior work. The look and feel of the materials created a simple and clean aesthetic reminiscent of old cabins standing in the woods for decades.
The new owners wanted to remain loyal to the original design intentions, but still wanted to find a way to expand the home so that it would suit their needs. Rather than buying new materials, the architects salvaged the cypress wood from the South wall and deck to expand and rebuild the new extension. Original wood was reused for the new siding, stair treads, scrim material, and risers. This allowed the exterior of the house to retain its original patina, which could have never been achieved with brand new materials — making it difficult to tell where the new begins and the old ends.
The renovation expanded and updated all of the bathrooms with new fixtures and revamped counter tops. The kitchen and dining terrace were also modernized and enlarged. Dense, glacial sedimentary sandstone is used as counter top material, with rough and polished finishes, throughout the house.
The home recently won the 2008 Peconic Honor Award for Architecture/Renovations & Additions. The Re-Cover House will also be showcased in Dwell's upcoming April edition. We love that this house has retained its original character, and required very little new material to do so. The owners are happier with their additional square footage and modern updates, and no trees were sacrificed in the upgrade of this house.

Mayor's Office
Forestry crews with the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department will remove about 19 trees in the three central blocks of Centennial Mall ("M" to "P" streets) beginning at 8 a.m. Sunday, April 1. The tree removal is necessary to allow for the first phase of construction to begin on the Centennial Mall renovation project. The work has been scheduled ahead of migratory bird nesting season as required by federal law.
J.J. Yost, Planning and Construction Manager for Parks and Recreation, said the trees being removed are generally aged and in decline due to the current condition of the Mall. About 112 new trees will be planted this fall or next spring as part of the phase one construction. Yost said the new design for the Mall will create conditions that will promote the establishment and long-term sustainability of the new trees.
Crews are expected to finish the tree removal in one day. Some street or lane closures may be necessary in the immediate area.
More information on the renovation of Nebraska's Centennial Mall is available at necentennialmall.org. More information on Parks and Recreation is available at parks.lincoln.ne.gov.

Will Claire Danes' Pregnancy Affect Her Hit Show 'Homeland?'
The 33-year-old actress and her husband are expecting their first child, but will it affect her storyline on 'Homeland?' Find out all the details.
Claire Danes announced in July that she is pregnant with her first child. She and husband Hugh Dancy, 37, are excited to welcome their first child together, but many fans of Showtime's hit show Homeland are worried her pregnancy will get in the way during season two of the show.
However, fans shouldn't fret — Claire has insisted that her expectant baby won't be a factor in filming or in the show's storyline.
"We're about midway (through season two), we're shooting episode six; this hasn't run into any interference," she told reporters at aTelevision Critics Association panel, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
She also was initially worried since her role of CIA agent Carrie Mathison requires a lot of physical exertion.
"(I was a) little concerned, (but) it's proven to be a non-issue. All is well and (her character) Carrie remains fervently non-pregnant."

Is a Male Birth Control Pill on the Horizon?
Ladies, if you're tired of being the one in your relationship who's stuck taking birth control pills, cheer up. A male contraception drug is on its way.
Doctors at the University of Kansas School of Medicine have developed a pill containing the drug H2-gamendazole, which stops the development of sperm cells within the testes. It won't affect libido, and it's fully reversible — meaning that once a man stops taking the pills, his fertility is restored within a few weeks.
Animal tests have been extremely successful, so scientists will next submit their medication to the FDA for approval, after which human trials can begin.
But would men take the pill? Researchers at the World Health Organization think so. Hundreds of studies the group has conducted all over the world indicate guys would welcome the pill.
But don't get too anxious. Even if all goes according to plan, the drug wouldn't hit the market for another decade or so.

text: This indecisive three-year stretch of fighting in the Isonzo Valley came on the heels of Italy's entry to World War I. Seeking to create a corridor to Vienna, Italian General Luigi Cadorna ordered a series of attacks on the region's Austro-Hungarian fortifications beginning in June 1915. Cadorna finally had success on the sixth attempt, capturing Gorizia after its defenders were forced to shift resources to counter a Russian attack. When the eleventh attempt gave the Italians control of the strategic Bainsizza Plateau, the Austro-Hungarians sought help from Germany. The resulting Battle of Caporetto, also known as the Twelfth Battle of the Isonzo, was a decisive victory for the Central Powers.

September 22, 2007
DELAWARE, OH. – Wabash College's defense twice shut down Ohio Wesleyan (0-3) inside its own 10-yard line and registered its first shutout since 2005 over Denison. The Little Giants posted a 15-0 win in the North Coast Athletic Conference opener.
Sophomore quarterback Matt Hudson came in after one series in the second half and threw for 9-of-12, 90 yards, and two touchdowns. Kyle Augustinovicz started for the second week but struggled hitting 9-of-19 and two interceptions. See photo albums from the game, No. 1, No. 2.
"I was happy for Kyle," Hudson said. "I knew he could go out there and get the job done. I was a little disappointed to see how things went in the first half. I went in at halftime knowing if we didn't get something going in the first one or two drives I might have to come in and lead this team."
The Little Giant defense was again the story for Wabash (3-0). All-American linebacker Adi Pynenberg was sensational with a career-best 21 tackles. Andy Deig and Rich Lehman added nine stops apiece. (View photos from the game by Steve Abbott of The Bachelor) and more photos from OWU.
"It was a game of two halves," head coach Chris Creighton said. "Our defense bent some trying to figure out a very difficult offense to prepare for. Our defense responded and did not allow them a single point. Our defense never got a breath of fresh air. Our defense was out there a long time and we didn't give them much help offensively."
Neither team could score in the first half. OSU had two missed field goal attempts, one hitting the upright and the other failed on a bad snap.
Wabash couldn't do much when given the opportunities, collecting just four first-half first downs to OWU's 11. The Bishops had outrushed Wabash 92-32.
Chad Finley had another outstanding day punting, nailing six kicks for a 44.8 average. His first punt of the second half pinned OWU on its own two-yard line. Josh Gangloff burst through the line on the first play and sacked quarterback Mike Fisher for a safety and the game's first score.
"We had a hard time figuring out what they were doing," linebacker Deig said. "They're a very complicated offense and with a week off they came out with some new formations that we weren't ready for.
"The second half we adjusted and came out ready to play."
Augstivonicz returned for the first series but was replaced by Hudson the next time the Little Giants had the ball. Hudson led Wabash down a short field of 39 yards hitting Chad Sorenson for a six-yard touchdown, but the kick failed, making it 8-0.
"We really picked it up in the second half," Hudson said. "The offensive line really started moving guys around. We ran the ball much more effectively in the second half.
"Overall I'm very happy with this. To come in here and get my first real varsity action, I'm just really excited to come away with a win."
The Little Giants added another score early in the fourth quarter on a nice 14-play drive over 75 yards. Hudson hit a right flat pass to Brock Graham for a 13-yard score. Graham fought the last five yards with a tackler hanging on him for the game's final score.
Despite the Little Giants' better offensive output in the second half, OWU rolled up 319 total yards to Wabash's 252. Evan Sobecki rushed 16 times for 61 yards. Graham added 28 and Bobby Kimp 23 yards rushing.
Seven Wabash receivers caught balls in the game. Andrew Rode had six catches for 36 yards but the day's longest catch was Bart Banach's 29-yard reception. Senior Mike Russell caught four passes for 41 yards after missing most of the first two games of the year with a foot injury.
The Little Giants are back home Saturday to host Earlham for Homecoming.

Texans court Reed; Barwin signs with Eagles
HOUSTON — The Houston Texans gave safety Ed Reed the star treatment on Thursday while losing another key player in free agency.
The 34-year-old Reed met with the Texans at Reliant Stadium after flying to Houston from Atlanta in the morning aboard team owner Bob McNair's private jet.
The move was tweeted by the team and then Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips tweeted that he was meeting with the Ravens veteran in his office, too.
But no deal was finalized Thursday night and meanwhile, outside linebacker Connor Barwin became the second Texans free agent to sign with Philadelphia this week, joining tight end James Casey.
Houston also cut receiver Kevin Walter and Detroit signed free agent safety Glover Quin, paving the way for the Texans to go after Reed, who's fresh off helping the Ravens win the Super Bowl.
Reed, a nine-time Pro Bowl selection, is the Ravens' franchise leader in interceptions with 61 and his 1,541 return yards with those pickoffs is an NFL career record. He was the NFL's top defensive player in 2004 after setting an NFL record for interception return yards (358), a mark broken by New Orleans' safety Darren Sharper in 2009.
Reed has scored 14 career touchdowns and is the only player in NFL history to score on a punt return, a blocked punt, interception and fumble recovery.
He played in all 16 games during the 2012 regular season, recording 58 tackles and a team-high four interceptions. He was one of only two players on the Baltimore defense, along with cornerback Cary Williams, to start in all 16 games.
Although he's battled hip and neck injuries in recent years, Reed has played in all 16 games in all but three of his 11 seasons. The exceptions were 2005 (10 games), 2009 (12) and 2010 (10).
The Texans are trying to make a major free-agent addition to their secondary for the second time in three years. When the lockout ended in the summer of 2011, Houston signed cornerback Jonathan Joseph and safety Danieal Manning. Houston's pass defense improved from last in 2010 to third in 2011.
No matter what happens with Reed, the Texans will have to retool their group of linebackers before next season.
Barwin signed a six-year deal with the Eagles after spending his first four NFL seasons in Houston. A second-round pick (46th overall) in 2009, Barwin missed most of the 2010 season with a broken right ankle. He moved to outside linebacker when Phillips became the defensive coordinator and converted the Texans to a 3-4 defense.
Barwin flourished in the new system in 2011, leading the Texans with 11½ sacks. He had only three sacks in 2012.
If the Texans can lure Reed, it would be another blow to the Ravens, who've been gutted since winning their second Super Bowl on Feb. 3. Baltimore traded receiver Anquan Boldin to San Francisco for a sixth-round pick and linebacker Ray Lewis retired and joined ESPN.
When free agency began, linebacker Paul Kruger signed with Cleveland and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe left for Miami. Baltimore also released safety Bernard Pollard, a former Texan, and Philadelphia signed Williams.
Reed is represented by David Dunn, also the agent for Walter and Houston quarterback Matt Schaub. It probably helps Houston's chances, too, that Reed was a college teammate at Miami with Texans star receiver Andre Johnson.
Reed would fill a void created by the departure of Quin, who signed a five-year contract with Detroit. Quin was a fourth-round pick in 2009 and missed only one game in four seasons.

Oral History Association Task Force Calls for Reports
The Oral History Association has established a task force to investigate the role oral history plays in professional evaluation of academics for whom the practice is a major part of their work. The task force is particularly interested in the ways in which oral history practice is weighed in decisions regarding hiring, retention, promotion, and tenure. In what ways are publications based upon oral history considered when assessing the publication record of colleagues, or in teaching or public service or other aspects of faculty standing?
The task force is interested at this stage in gathering anecdotal evidence as well as formal reports or statements about established policies that mention oral history as a factor in hiring, retention, promotion, or tenure decisions of academic departments or academic institutions. The task force would be particularly interested in hearing from those who have developed an oral history practice, which they have submitted as part of their dossiers, or from those who have served on various committees evaluating colleagues on the basis of their work in oral history. The information collected now will be used to formulate and develop a detailed and comprehensive survey of the profession.
Responses to this preliminary inquiry should be sent by July 1, 2005, to Ronald Grele, 90 Morningside Drive, #3A, New York, NY 10027. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

(Reuters) - Country singers Miranda Lambert and Tim McGraw led the nominations for the Academy of Country Music Awards on Wednesday with seven nods apiece, and Australian singer Keith Urban followed with six nominations.
Lambert joins her husband Blake Shelton, George Strait, country-pop starlet Taylor Swift and last year's winner Luke Bryan for the entertainer of the year award, the most coveted honor at the annual ACM ceremony, scheduled to be held this year on April 6 in Las Vegas.
Strait, 61, who has said he will retire from touring after this year, won the entertainer of the year prize at the Country Music Association (CMA) awards in November. He released his 27th album, "Love Is Everything," last year.
The Academy of Country Music, which honors the genre's big stars as well as small market radio DJs and concert promoters, televises its eight top awards along with the fan-voted new artist of the year honor. Final nominees for the newcomer award will be announced after voting ends on February 4.
McGraw's song "Highway Don't Care" featuring Swift and Urban earned nods for single of the year, video of the year, vocal event of the year. He earned two nominations in the single, vocal event and best album categories each, which honor both producers and artists.
Lambert, 30, also earned nominations for top female vocalist, while her hit "Mama's Broken Heart," penned in part by newcomer Kacey Musgraves, picked up nods for single of the year, songwriter's award song of the year and best music video.
Swift, 24, received five nominations for the second consecutive year, including female vocalist of the year.
The "I Know You Were Trouble" singer went home empty handed from the ACM awards in 2013, but this year picked up three of her nominations for being a featured artist along with Urban on McGraw's hit song "Highway Don't Care."
Swift also received her fifth consecutive nomination for the fan-voted entertainer of the year award. She has won the top prize twice before.
Musgraves, 25, who picked up two Grammy awards on Sunday and best new artist at November's CMA awards, also earned five nods along with Shelton and Lee Brice.
Brice's hit song "I Drive Your Truck" earned him nominations for best song, single and video as well as male vocalist of the year.
Florida Georgia Line, a duo comprised of Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard, picked up four nominations along with country-pop trio Lady Antebellum.
Bryan, who will co-host the show with Shelton for a second consecutive year, earned three nominations, including male vocalist of the year and album of the year.
Former Hootie and the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker also scored three nods, including single of the year and song of the year for "Wagon Wheel," which features Lady Antebellum.

Californians will now be eligible to receive a $1,500 rebate when they purchase qualifying electric motorcycles. Last week the Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, helped to promote Zero Motorcycles, which are the first electric bikes to qualify for this rebate. This means that the Zero DS dual Sport Motorcycle and the Zero S Supermoto, will be available for $7,495 (plus tax) after the $1,500 rebate, PLUS, you get a 10% federal tax credit, making these bikes cost less than 1 cent per mile to run!
One cent per mile!?! With an offer like this, Californians should be ditching their cars and hopping on electric bikes for incredibly affordable, super efficient, low carbon transportation. Couple that with getting your electricity from renewable energy and you've got a zero carbon ride for probably less than a couple dollars a day. Plus, the Governator endorses it!
During the press event last week, Schwarzenegger said, "Zero Electric motorcycles are very important technology and this is great for California because this is an ideal place to ride motorcycles… I love the financial side of these motorcycles because they cost less then one cent per mile to operate and you get a 10% federal tax credit plus a California rebate of $1,500. That equates to a 25 percent price reduction making these electric motorcycles affordable for anybody. It's part of our overall strategy to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by the year 2020."
Zero Motorcycles also announced its "Discover the Experience Tour" across California to promote the new bikes and the new state incentive. The tour will kick off in Santa Cruz then head to San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, San Diego, and Los Angeles, and demo rides on the entire product line will be available.

The Buccaneers, who improved to 18-7 overall, 12-1 in A-Sun play, won their 10th straight game and maintain their two-game lead over league rival Belmont with five league games remaining. As for the Fighting Camels, they drop to 10-13, 5-8.
"I thought we defended hard and competed hard," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "When you look at 27 percent shooting and holding their guy (Jonathan) Rodriguez to eight points that's good. We gave the guys Saturday off after the Gardner-Webb game, and they really came back yesterday with a great practice. That seemed to carry over tonight."
While the Bucs pulled away for the 30-point win,
In the second half, the Bucs didn't let up, outscoring the Camels 44-34 and holding them to just 31 percent shooting. For the game, ETSU hit on 49 percent of its shots, forced 24
The Bucs were led in scoring by Twilley, who finished with 15 points thanks to a career high five 3-pointers. Meanwhile, sophomore guard Courtney Pigram (
"We've been in tight games, and it's good to win those games, but it's also good to get this one and give a lot of guys some minutes," said Bartow, who was able to start emptying his bench with 10 minutes left in the game. "Giving those guys some playing time is important and we were able to do it tonight."

This is from This Ain't Hell. But you can see it from here.
This blog is by retired Army Sergeant First Class John Lilyea.
SFC.Lilyea exposes phony soldiers.
Dave sends us a link to the story from KTVZ News of an 18-year-old punk pretending to be a wounded Marine and claiming to be collecting donations door-to-door in Redmond, Oregon for the Wounded Warrior Project. The problem, of course, is that the Wounded Warrior Project doesn't solicit door-to-door;
Officers contacted the solicitor, identified as Ryan L. Brashears, 18, in the area after the caller to police provided a description.
Police determined Brashears was not affiliated with the Wounded Warriors Project and had been claiming to be a wounded U.S. Marine and combat veteran, Chambers said.
Chambers said Brashears had received $70 in cash donations and another donation in the form of a check.
Brashears originally was from Mississippi but recently was arrested in California, Chambers said.
Brashears was arrested in Redmond on two counts of third-degree theft by deception and one count of third-degree attempted theft by deception. He was taken to the Deschutes County Jail and booked, then later released on his own recognizance, a jail officer said.
Of course he was only exercising his freedom of speech, because he's in the jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit. I'll take a guess that he'll not show up in court to answer the charges.

WICHITA — Wichita police say an unknown man burst into another man's apartment and tried to set the tenant on fire while he was taking a bath.
The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/12Oy1a7 ) reports the attacker instead set himself ablaze and was seen fleeing the victim's apartment around 5 a.m. Thursday.
The 38-year-old tenant told police he didn't know his assailant very well and isn't sure why he would try to set him on fire.
Police spokesman Lt. Doug Nolte says police think the suspect is a man in his mid-20s who forced his way into the apartment with a gas can, lighter and some combustible materials.
Investigators were looking for a man with burns to his hands and torso.

BRISTOL — A town landmark, the Greek Revival style building on Route 116 known as "The Pillars," is leaving Bristol for good.
Although some who have driven past the home recently have speculated that the building is being renovated, the opposite is actually true.
"It's being deconstructed," explained Diane Saunders, the Bristol resident who lives in another home on the property where the historic building currently stands and who used to own The Pillars with her husband, Alan.

Hi folks , I am writing all together here so it´s easy for you to read
43 old , 75 kg kiter since late 2004 or better said , around 350 or so sessions , old school , love to jump ( the higher the better ) my boards are ( both Shinn 08 ) 134 x 42 & Wave .
My last quiver was a full set ( 7 till 13 ) of 07 modified Ozone Edges and I am planning to replace them with a 5 / 9 combo .
Bits & Peaces
Bag : ok , simple , does the job , I use kite bags mainly to keep the kite in the garage and in the trunk so Imo is fine.
Bar : after using for 3 years Ozones without a decent swivel , I must say this one works , about quality ( first time ever riding an EH ) ask me in 30 sessions.
Pump: no like ... to small for my taste but do the job .
Quality of the kite : ask me in 30 sessions but after crashing it half a dozen times this afternoon , it looks ok.
Graphics : care less
Light wind : 18 / 23 knots
23 meters + extensions
Hard to believe but the kite really works fine around 20 knots ( as long as they are average )
fun to use with my Mutant and have fun . if the wind drops more than a few knots is all over ... the turning speed is excellent , it moves thru the window like no other kite I´ve tested before .... very nice .
Relaunch can be a bit tricky specially if you try it sheeting all the way in , reverse launch works like a charm is such winds , other than that ... keep the bar a few inches away from the CL ....
Med winds : 25 knots
23 meters lines
Must say that I will probably only use the extensions if I forgot my bigger kite at home cause this kite is much more fun with 23 meters , it´s faster , more reactive , I´m very well powered up ( park & ride ) , jumping is fine ( 10 ft ? ) hang time is like my 7m Edge ..
Relaunch was no problem , again do not sheet all the way in ....
High winds : 30 knots ( 23m Lines )
Love this kite , jumps very well , hang time is excellent be prepared for some wild rides , this kite generates lots of power for its size , relaunch no problem at all , trim strap pulled around 1/3 so I would say that 30 ish and a few more knows is fine with this kite but .......
Is this kite perfect ?
Was kiting today in extreme gusty conditions in Tarifa with winds around 20 ish up to 40 knots gusts and in these conditions the kite reacts much to sensitive to strong gusts and is hard to fly , a few times the pull of the kite was so hard ( like a old C 4 liner ) that I had to litteraly put my entire body into the water to hold down the power , it was fun to test how far I was able to bring this kite but thats it .
This little kite is really fun to use around the 20 knots mark and if the wind in your area is half way " normal " you could easily use this kite above the 30 knots mark with no problems , but if you kite in high winds with extreme gusts like we use to get here in Tarifa once in a while , you better go with a Ripper or something else , also as EH has been always insisting that the Ovandos were created to be great light wind kites and are not supposed to be high wind kites by any mean . EH´s wind chart says clearly that the top end for a rider on my weight should be around 30 knots , you can easily add a few more knots but I also do not recommend to even think off going out on winds over the 30 knots mark .
I guess , the excellent low end performance of this size is a trade off against what we normally would " think " about the high end of a 5 meter kite but still , been able to get going with just under 20 knots with a 5 meter is amazing and really , really fun .
Next week I will be testing the Ovando 9m .... stay tuned

Dear Internet Traveler,
Welcome to my writer's blog, started about six years ago for fun. Over time, the writing I have posted has ranged from personal reflection, to Long Island history research, to tall tales for my own amusement, to feature articles for local newspapers. As you can see from topics listed here, I travel in many mental directions in regard to interests. Click on the tabs and labels to explore my strange mind which senses that you may be having a criss-cross day. If so, perhaps this blog will distract you. However, please note that if you tell me my blog is beautiful just to get me to advertise rhinoplasty surgery and cheap drugs from Canada in your comment, I will ask the gods to give you a tail that cannot be concealed.

My family laughs. They've even named it: Revision Mouth.
In fact, I do blame revisions. They've hijacked whatever part of my brain is responsible for verbal communication, focusing all of my energy on the written word instead.
So, if you happen to see me in the grocery store and I say something like: "Whkshldfkdshf," don't take offense. In all likelihood I've just complimented you. Not my fault it wasn't coherent, it was the Revision Mouth speaking.
Just pretend you didn't notice, and, like the penguins say, smile and wave. Just smile and wave…
By the way, those jeans really do look good on you.
