SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - The Sheboygan Area School District will not be adding any new charter schools in the near future. On Sheboygan Morning News Wednesday, District Administrator Joe Sheehan said the board of education approved an administration request Tuesday evening not to create any new charter schools over the next two years. Sheehan said they will continue to support all the current schools but use the near future to review the impact - both academically and financially - of all the schools currently in operation
The district currently has nine charter schools in operation. The previous few years have seen several schools close for various reasons.

Alright yall I dont know if it was just me but I was very disappointed on the Breaking Dawn Part 2 I almost walked out of the movies......."

Also when Bella and Edward were running in the forest I think the graphics could have been alittle better. I will have to say it wasnt my favorite installment out of the Twilight Saga movies
I dont know I guess I just pictured it differently in my head. Also when they had that vision of the fight I just couldnt believe they had Carlisle die so easily and Jasper too I personally think they would have put up a better fight then that. Also I really didnt care for Renesmee when she was a baby it wasnt very realistic looking. It reminded me of those little babies they use on comercials that they have talking and their mouths look so fake.
what? why?

This is a set of four novels by four authors. All of the novels focus on the genre of romance.
Summary Of The Book
This collection contains four novels of romance. The titles included are My Way Is The Highway by Urvashi Gulia, Losing My Virginity And Other Dumb Ideas by Madhuri Banerjee, Kiss & Tell by Nistula Hebbar, and Can Love Happen Twice by Ravinder Singh.
My Way Is The Highway is about a television reporter Manisha Saran. She is sick of her sleazy boss who keeps harassing her. When her boss tries to get cozy with her, she decides that she has had enough of work for a while and takes a break. She goes on a road trip in her beloved jeep that she calls Iqbal Mastani.
On the way, she meets many interesting people who are cute, friendly, and helpful. Her acquaintances on the road teach her fishing and take her camping. During her vacation, she discovers a few new things, gets drunk and sleeps on a cold balcony, and in the middle of all these confusing experiences, manages to find love.
Losing My Virginity and Other Dumb Ideas is about a lonely interpreter, Kaveri. Kaveri is going to hit thirty and has never had a romantic experience in her life, not even a kiss. Being an interpreter by profession, she knows seven languages, but she feels she knows nothing about the language of love. After years of failure on the romantic front, Kaveri decides that she has to take the plunge. Whether she finds true love or not, she decides that she would try to lose her virginity. But the future seems to hold a few surprises for her.
Kiss & Tell is about Janaki, a reporter, on 'Crime Beat'. She is looking for a big scoop that will be her big break in journalism. On the personal front, she is looking for that always elusive great relationship. Her work leads her to both.
She meets an attractive, older man who is a high level bureaucrat known as Vishnu Singh. She decides that she has found the man she desires. Meanwhile, she is assigned to investigate a scandal that involves a high profile politician. The politician involved in the scandal turns out to be Vishnu's boss. Can she handle the tangle that her professional and personal life have got into?
Can Love Happen Twice is the sequel to Ravinder Singh's first and highly successful first book, I Too Had A Love Story.
I Too Had A Love Story was the author's own story about his first love and tragic loss.
After that experience, Ravin refuses to walk down the path of romance again. But, fate has other plans.
A city radio station hosts a special chat show on Valentine's Day. Ravinder and his three close friends are invited as special guests. But on that day, only Ravin's friends show up and he himself does not make an appearance.
His friends have with them a second story written by Ravin, an unfinished story. They begin reading from it, and people from all over the city tune in to listen.

Georgia Tech football coach Paul Johnson is against the controversial recruiting practice of "oversigning" — which is when a college signs more football recruits that it has scholarships available.
"We just don't do it," Johnson told the AJC. "It makes it hard sometimes to hit your target number but it is what it is. I don't see how you can do that to kids, weed out guys for whatever reasons. No matter what anybody says, if you're oversigning, some of that has to happen on occasion."
UGA coach Mark Richt has called oversigning "an awful thing to do" to kids. (Go here for full article)
The SEC, winner of five straight BCS championships, has developed a reputation for oversigning. SEC commissioner Mike Slive said the controversial issue will be addressed later this week at the conference's spring meetings.
Johnson, who has coached at the ACC school for three years, said college teams that oversign gain a competitive advantage. "Sure they do. It's just like you take 25 kids every year and then cut the ones you don't want.
"You do the math. You have 85 scholarships. If you're signing 28 every year for four years, instead of 85, you have 112. It doesn't add up. So something is happening to those guys along the way. It just doesn't add up. You're losing them left or right academically or for whatever reasons.
"There are two ways you can do it. You can try to hit your target number and not try to take more guys than you have scholarships — and that puts the onus on us coaches a little bit. Or you can say the rules say I can take 25-28. I will take them, we'll let the dust settle and figure it out. Then the kids get caught in a bind."
What is the best way for the NCAA to address oversigning? "I don't know how you put rules in unless you change the system," Johnson said. "To me, the easiest way is to change recruiting as it is now.
"Everybody has 85 scholarships; When you recruit a guy, and he says he's coming, you give him a scholarship and he signs it. As soon as he signs it, he counts — he's one of your 85. If you want to sign a kid who may or may not make it schoolwise, that's on you. You will have to try to find someone else in August if he doesn't make it.
"It would stop all this craziness, hat shows, verbal commitments, and all the foolishness that goes on with it. If the guy says they're coming, put the papers in front of him and let him sign. When you've got 85, you're through."
Note: Johnson also agrees with Richt on "grayshirts" — as long as the recruit is told in advance of the situation. With a grayshirt, a player signs in February, but does not enroll in the summer with his teammates. He delays entry until January and counts against the team's scholarship total for the following year.
"You could possibly do a grayshirt if you told the kid up front and they knew what was happening. It's one thing if you say, 'OK, we don't have a spot for you and you're going to have sit out a semester and come in January.' If a kid wants to do that, I don't have a problem with that, as long as the college is up front about it.
"The thing I think is wrong is when you sign kids and after signing day is over, you sort through and don't have room for all of them. You have to tell some who aren't expecting it that they have to wait to come in January, or you have to get rid of guys on your own team to make room for them. That's the part I don't agree with."
What is YOUR opinion on oversigning? Do you have any NCAA rules to suggest? Please post below.

Saban is the primary focus of oversigning. Does it in spades every year.
May 29th, 2011

it should be outlawed with a heavy penalty

This (oversigning) is something that the SEC needs to come down hard on. It is unethical as he## in my opinion and should cost violaters scholarships!

Make a COLLEGE DEGREE the focus. Don't sign kids that will not stay for 4 yrs and get a degree. If all they want is a shot at the NFL, then let them get their on their own and not at the colleges expense. STUDENT comes before Athlete.
May 29th, 2011
1:55 pm
Do not focus soley on Saban…look at "the Evil One"….Spurrier is as bad as anyone! I agree with Richt, Johnson, Swinney, et.al. This is not fair to the kid, but people like Spurrier could care less about THAT kid, only the one that is in line to help him! Look at his track record at SUC with students he has oversigned, run off, not kept, etc…disgraceful. But, if it achieves his goal, and his conference allows it??????

This may be one time i agree with Paul Johnson SEC does appear heading in the direction of eliminating over signing to let other schools compete .

Big Time college football is the problem. The SEC is in the lead too. The Tail is wagging the dog. Without the COLLEGE there would be No FOOTBALL, but the college is letting Football call the shots. Education is so second or maybe third in importance at Major Football schools. It is not the NCAA or the Conferences fault. It is the College Presidents that don't make the STUDENT come way way before the Athlete. When the Athletic Departments are getting & using more money than the Professors and the Academic Departments that is WRONG.
Football is an ACTIVITY of the College. Taking COLLEGE CLASSES is not an Activity to entertain students between Sporting Events and getting drunk, high, and laid.

UGA allows clarke county jail to cull the bad apples instead of the weak azz HC Richt. I love to see you good folks cry over Saban. The guy will steal your lunch and make you pay him for as well. Don't let me stop you from crying in your beer because big bad Nick Saban is a mean person and will not play fair. In the words of Joe Cocker…."cry me a river"..
ARK,UA,AU,UT,Ole Miss,Miss State,LSU and USCe does it…UGA and UF use the jail to cull players and who gives a sheet about Vandy and KY.

Both coaches deserve real credit for not oversigning and speaking out against it. With the way BCS college football works these days, they are avoiding a practice that would make it easier for them to meet expectations on winning and keep their jobs, but is bad for the kids they bring to campus.
If the NCAA and conferences don't do something about this practice, they will have lost any shred of credibility they have left about college football being anything other than a profit seeking business venture. I just don't see how the practice can be justified in any way.

Over sign one kid lose one scholarship, over sign two lose two scholarships etc. Include surprise gray shirts not prearranged.

Ga Tech doesn't have to worry about oversigning; they need to worrry about undersigning at the rate they are recruiting this year!!! UGA needs to ramp up now, AU, AL, and FSU are turning many heads!!!

All these Bama fans love oversigning. Look at what it gets you. A 24 point lead to your rival at home and then being outscored 28 to 3 to end the game. Aubie sends a big thank you for the title to big bad Nick and the rest of the bama loyalists. Maybe you cut the wrong guys. Maybe he should have cut Hightower. If he can't cover a tight end in college, how can he in the NFL. Oh, by the way, cry me a river, I know he blew his knee out. I guess thats the beauty of oversigning. Someone took his place on the roster and then is now out of school. Just remember, big bad Nick lost to LA school for the obese at homecoming. Gee, It's funny how ya"ll forget that.
May 29th, 2011
3:21 pm
What people don't understand about Saban (and some others) is he LIKES the ability to cut players already on the roster. That's where the big advantage is … you can correct a lot of mistakes that way. Basically you get to sift another 25 or so players through your system every 3 or 4 years.
To address that you have to address the 85, that is, keeping the 85 throughout the year. Can't see how going from 28 to 25 helps that. Maybe some year you need 28 more, legitimately. It's important to level the playing field in recruiting/oversigning/roster mangement, but the League must be careful how they do it.
But the biggest thing that should be addressed is cutting players or manipulating players in good standing off the roster to make room for new ones. Haven't seen that addressed yet.
May 29th, 2011
3:26 pm
The easiest way to change this is to make the scholarship for four years instead of one, renewable at the end of an academic year.
The biggest issue I have is that it allows coaches to be lazy in their evaluation of a player and a 17 year old ends up getting screwed.
May 29th, 2011
3:48 pm
Tech will never have to worry about oversigning anyway because
Players dont want to go there and play for a high school level fanbase again or
Players are scared of being robbed before they make it to class
Either reason, its just not a winning combination Paul Johnson, but nice try with your explanation
May 29th, 2011
3:50 pm
In the SEC it used to be just Houston Nutt that oversigned. The 28 schollies per year is known as the "Houston Nutt" rule. Then Saban came into the conference and started this oversigning biz and other schools started doing it to keep up. Auburn, Arkansas, LSU, Carolina to name a few. Bama fans swear that what Saban is doing is ethical and above board. That Bama ends up with 85 players in the end and the over signing is just making up for academic casualties and injuries. If someone disagrees, they scream "prove it isn't that way!" Of course, Saban releases zero information to the public about dismissals, academic casualties, and injuries. He won't talk about his oversigning policy. I'll give you three guesses why. He knows that if he releases the details of his oversigning policy it will show he cares nothing about the kids or the spirit of intercollegiate athletics. He cares about winning and his high salary. Period.

I agree with Johnson's idea, once you commit, you sign your letter of intent. No more signing day in February, no hat shows, no switching schools at the last minute. That would really mess up Saban and Spurrier.
Universities have got to get re-focused and give some of these families protection from greedy programs.
May 29th, 2011
4:17 pm
Saban? Proven scum. Nuff said.
May 29th, 2011
4:25 pm
Defending the coaches and schools that are doing is wrong. People being Happy about it because their school wins is wrong. I am a HUGE College Football fan, but this is wrong and until the Presidents make the focus on the EDUCATION not the sports this will never change. If Saban & Spurrier are so great then why couldn't they make it in the NFL? They have to bribe kids to come to their school and trash them when the next greatest player comes along. These coaches inability to win in the NFL was not X's & O's it was the inability to manipulate the rules on players.
May 29th, 2011

Bamawho? I have the 2010 BCS National Championship Game on DVR and when the preseason rankings are released you will find the Tide in the top 3. You were saying?

Typical AJC article… Home teams getting their brains kicked in by out of state schools on and off he field and its all because of the evil practice of oversigning. Lol. Maybe ask why so many kids with UGA offers are committing out of state. As for Paul Johnson… unless he is talking about UAB or South Alabama I don't really know what his gripe is. GT and Bama are not recruiting rivals. Totally two different levels. Maybe the AJC should ask why the top two instate Georgia prospects for next years class are heavy Bama leans. Because of oversigning…. Lol.
May 29th, 2011

Make the scholarship a 5 year contract. The only way the kid could lose his scholarship is for academic, moral or ethical reasons.
Make the rule 22 signees a year. Make the rule have a hard ceiling. Give exceptions for players who leave school early for the NFL only. This would give each team 110 signees over a five year period. Make any medical disqualifications the decision of a third party arbitrator.
This would require the coach and the school be more invested in seeing that each kid be academically sound both during the academic process and while enrolled.
What you would probably see is kids being recruited as much for their academics as for their athletic abilities. There would be less recruiting of academically borederline or non-qualifying athletes. This would result in more parity. The Gramblings and Florida A & M's and the other A & Ms would benefit greatly.
May 29th, 2011
4:53 pm
Lol… Because u or anyone else reading this give rip about what what any of these kids do on the class room? This is the SEC… not the Ivy league.
May 29th, 2011
4:53 pm
Both Coach Johnson and Coach Richt have it right. Integrity in recruiting is important. Athletes need to know the truth when they sign. I hope the NCAA acts on this issue.
May 29th, 2011
5:03 pm
The NCAA and the conferences allow schools to make moves on players who don't live up to their scholarship commitments.
I hope Johnson and Richt continue with their holier-than-thou attitudes.
It makes for a nice ready-made excuse for losing.

Yes, actually many people care that the OTHER Graduates holding a Diploma with their Alma Mater's name on it should be able to read it and have passed REAL Classes to get it. I don't give money to the Athletic Fund, other than what is required for buying season tickets. My money goes for Academic Scholarships.

The whole oversigning mess is not that complicated.
If you're STUPID enough to go play for a coach who is notorious for oversigning then its your own da*n fault, personal responsibility must be talked about.
It makes matters worse if you're the parent or coach of a kid and you send them off to play for a coach that would run your child off the team. If I was lucky enough to have a child worthy of football scholly, there's no way in he!! I would ever send him off to play for Petrino, Spurrier, Saban, Nutt, and a few others.
My 2 cents.
May 29th, 2011
5:33 pm
Or you could pass a rule that all athletes must meet the same academic requirements as the regular student population and let the NFL establish their own minor leagues.
May 29th, 2011
5:33 pm
Yea, it's all Saban's fault! Any excuse will do just keep the heat off our coach/preacher/Mr. Goodietwoshoes.
As for Paul Johnson, just shut up. Nobody cares about GT. The only reason you exist is so the Dawgs have a rival to kick to sleep every year. They need that because Lord knows, they can never handle the Gators.
May 29th, 2011
6:00 pm
I agree with PJ and I think the idea of "signing 85 and your done" is a great/fair approach.
This approach also puts more importance on grades………high school players better make the grades or the various schools with limited scholarships might not be as willing to take a chance with the early offers (just in case the player does not qualify)!!
May 29th, 2011

"As for Paul Johnson, just shut up."
No, you shut up, you stupid loudmouthed jerk.

Oh, looks like somebody got their feelings hurt. Are all the the GT fans crybabies or just you. I know they are all scared little bees. That is why yall flew away from the SEC with your little stinger between your legs.

In a perfect world, these kids would all make good grades, no one would ever get hurt, Jr's would never leave early for the NFL draft and no players would ever be arrested or have discipline problems. Alas, we do not live in a perfect world and this is a multi million dollar enterprise at most places. Things will never change.
May 29th, 2011

@Pot meet kettle: Absolutely correct my friend. Now you can understand why your favorite school will bend over backwards to sign a recruit who is a known thug or one who doesn't have the mentality of a sixth grader.
May 29th, 2011
7:24 pm
It should be outlawed !! Schools that do that should forfeit any championships and all bowl appearances.
May 29th, 2011
7:25 pm
From reading the above it is plain to see to see that some folk seem to think it is ok to cheat the kids. Cheat, lie etc. This is the same bunch that has been on Auburn's case. Bet if it was your kid, you would be singing a different tune!!!

Coach Sport's Bra can't hardly field a 'A' grade class to start with, what the 'F' does he know about oversigning…..
He'll be gone after this year anyway with his bag of gimmicks….

Petrino in Akansas does not count. He listens to no one and no one listens to him. He is the worst of all possible worlds in college football. Why any kid would play for that coward is beyond me!

Johnson and Richt are right on this. Hopefully, the ADs and presidents of both fine institutions agree and can influence "the system." Unfortunately, that includes the waffling NCAA, who sponsors playoffs,including the NIT basketball tournament yet says it can't do anything about a playoff for Div. 1A football. Meanwhile, the corrupt BCS (see articles on Fiesta and Orange Bowl boondoggles) charge along, forcing schools to lose money by buying tickets at face value for the band, etc., etc.)
Sorry, I got off topic there. 1eyedJack and I agree that, failing everything else, force the NFL to set up a minor league system and return college football to its amateur status.

I'm a master at managing my numbers.
We are all about winning championships here son. I don't care how many stars you had coming out of H.S. You have no chance earning any playing time. So we need for you to take that medical hardship. After all I signed 7 more players than I have room for. Hit the road son and do it the Rammer-jammer way.

Watch out or cpj will punch you right in the nose. He is such a tough guy and treats the players he recruits so fairly. If you commit to us then do not even consider looking around or you are out of here.

This applies to managers, engineers and engineers that have taken management roles.
I do agree - we need language to think about things. Similarly, we use the language of physics math to describe and understand things more precisely. If we don't have the language to think about it, it becomes difficult to describe.
Personally, I've found that it's a combination of drawing and words to most effectively communicate a concept.
Most of the software failures that I've witnessed are the result of either
1) Poor quality - eg Lots of code, bad / undefined interactions between the components. Usually results in loss of data
2) Poor user experience - software performs complicated task well, users aren't able to adapt to using the capabilities
3) Misunderstanding of the problem solving opportunity - System solves the problem as designed, however rather than automating an old stupid process to take less time, the old stupid process could be re-engineered to bring added value (generate revenue, save lives, retain employees, etc) to the organization
Fixing the first requires someone that is technical, but not necessarily that technical.
Fixing the Last requires someone that understands the business. They probably aren't technical.
Fixing the Middle requires someone that understand user experience, often an engineer with some empathy, or a business person that is technical.
Good technology requires both technical and non technical contributions for success. That combination is rarer than you would think.
Since this is slashdot - let's talk about the new tech systems:
So will mental health professionals be required to do a check against gun owner databases? Will a mental illness database need to be created so that potential gun buyers can be screened at purchase time? How about house-holding - if someone in the same residence is a registered gun owner, will they be forced to surrender their weapons?
How about posting some pictures of the milky way? I've only barely seen it once while on Hilton Head island.
Until we have an open source printer that can be forked to print another printer which can be used to print the chip and the board, we won't be truly open.
Would the printer spec qualify for GPL or LGPL?
If you live in the US (the posting implies that you do) and you can't resolve the issue with AT&T, then I would file a FCC Complaint.
You can even file the complaint online.
That said, 20%, is not a huge difference - is it worth fighting over?
Remember when people used to be concerned that when buying a 10 Gig hard drive, it wasn't really 10 Gigabytes?

Pretty much, no matter what you do, even if you build a wiki, have everything amazingly documented, and are in the top 10% of all shops in terms of best practices, the new person will find reasons to find fault with what you have done. Servers will be rebuilt, upgrades will happen, etc. A year from now, things will either be better off than when you were running them or worse off, but the reality is that re-use just doesn't happen enough in our industry. So if re-use isn't happening, then it's really just up to the quality of the individual.
I'm not sure at what age I learned that when I put my baby bottle down that it wouldn't mysteriously float in the air, but I suspect that I wasn't educated on gravity, but in fact learned of the existence of gravity through observation and tests.
Outside of perhaps the favorable mutation's of bacteria to become antibiotic resistant, I don't have a significant opportunity to observe and test evolution.
I find it bizarre how emotional both sides of the evolutionary debate get. Either take the time to do real science or go watch TV.

Noa Deane Indo clip
Noa Deane Indo clip
Check out the latest clip from Noa Deane from a recent trip to Indo
One of the funniest thngis I have ever heard. Got to about 3 minutes in and had to turn off because the rest of the office were looking at me crying with laughter . not sure how much Canto I leant but looking forward to getting back to it later ! Thank you for your never ending enthusiasm its a wonderful fuel.
Thanks and all for the couple of pnsoitgs, though this one's a little misleading. I was just forwarding the PR blurb from the Modern, sent to me by flutist Elizabeth McNutt. The timing of the two concerts is coincidental. Why Patterns? is a great piece and, running about thirty minutes, it's a lot less of a time commitment for those who might not have wanted to sit through a two hour modern classical work. Speaking of which, some day we'll have to talk about terminology, cause most of what Other Arts will be presenting won't be "classical" as such. But hey, hope to see y'all Saturday afternoon.

Tapping right into the prevailing mood of frenetic anxiety and heightened life pressures, Decorex Cape Town is preparing to help us find an answer to life's décor and design challenges and transport visitors to a state of complete and utter "Bliss".

Decorex Cape Town, in partnership with sponsors Plascon, M-Net and Sunday Times, takes place from 25th – 28th April 2013, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.

Award winning Cape Town interior designer and stylist, Tracy Lee Lynch will interpret the show theme, bliss, with an oversized cross stitch installation to remind us all of the tremendous value of a quiet time spent filled with whimsy and nostalgia. Tracy says her design concept featuring feminine craft and colour will depict "a blissful knowing that South Africa's future is fantastical and exciting, driven by design and all that can be imagined."
The "Bliss" theme will be reflected elsewhere at the show as visitors will be inspired by overstated textures such as crochets, knits and felting. Vibrant colour prints will also be popular, ranging from oversized flowers to the more retro colour blocking patterns.
Steyn adds: "This season the trend in colour is influenced by the mood of society; we are drawn to colours that reflect how we feel. We're seeing the mix of hot neon's with soft pastels creating a playful element, while natural hues are versatile and calming."

DETROIT (WKZO) -- The director of the Detroit Institute of Arts has issued a strong statement in regards to the sale of any artwork to pay Detroit's bankruptcy debts.
In the museum's online September news bulletin, Graham Beal wrote that if the collection was sold to pay off the city's debts, the DIA would be forced to close. According to Beal, if pieces of the collection were sold it would threaten the tri-county millages passed last summer, which raises 23-million dollars a year for museum operations.
Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson has said that he would move to rescind his county's millage if a single piece of art was sold. Beal says he would fight any attempt to seize art for sale.

Taking Father Time
Paternity leave issues.
WebMD Feature
Oct. 9, 2000 -- Alex Garcia (not his real name), tucks his 6-month-old daughter Mia into the crook of his arm and starts to feed her an evening bottle. Back from a long day at the office, Garcia uses his free hand to rub his eyes. He looks down at his daughter adoringly, and the tension of the day seems to melt away. "The easiest thing is coming home," he said. "It doesn't matter what happens during the day, you see that face and it all goes away."
From the moment Mia was conceived, Garcia and his wife began preparing for her arrival. He'd read every book on pregnancy and parenting he could during his wife's pregnancy and was eager to take time off to be with his new baby. Though the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 allows both parents to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave, he soon realized that the California district attorney's office where he worked had a different "policy."
His co-workers informed him that the unofficial office rule allowed for a maximum of two weeks off. No father in his office had ever taken off more time, and although Garcia was disappointed, he valued his job and decided to make do. "If I'd had my druthers, I would have taken off as much time as I possibly could," Garcia said. "But I didn't want to be the one who decided to push the envelope."
The Working Dad's Catch-22
Alex Garcia is not alone. Studies show that the majority of fathers do want more time off from work to be with their families. However, fear of losing their jobs or suffering reprisals at work keeps many fathers in the traditional breadwinner role. This leaves dads with little time to be equal partners in the parenting process -- a fact that experts say can be a loss for both father and child.
Part of the problem is that employers have yet to embrace the concept of paternity leave, making the FMLA a de facto maternity leave policy, says Armin Brott, author of The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the First Year. When he asked executives, human resource administrators, and CEOs how much time they thought was reasonable for a man to take off after the birth of a child, 40% answered, "no time at all."
In the conflict between work and family, what they want remains clear to most fathers, even if they feel their employers don't support it. According to a recent study released by the Radcliffe Public Policy Center, 71% of men ages 21 to 39 say they would give up some of their pay for more time with their families.
Taking the Time
Leander Kahney, 34, is among that 71%. He says his boss was supportive of his decision to take four weeks' unpaid paternity leave from his job as a reporter at San Francisco-based Wired News so he could be with his wife, three children, and newborn baby. But he doesn't dismiss the possibility that it might have set him back. "It's a crazy workaholic society, where it has more to do with the hours you put in than your talents."
Brott says fathers like Kahney risk a career penalty for taking paternity leave as long as American society equates being a good father with financial success. "There is a lot more pressure for a man to earn," he said. "It's how we value what a good father is, and the potential damage to his career if he takes off is far greater than for a woman."
Still, Kahney doesn't have any regrets about his decision to both help his wife recover from childbirth and spend quality time with the rest of his brood. "The more time you spend with the kids, the better. Better for the child and better for you, too."
The Pros of Early Participation
Kahney's sentiments are strongly supported by the research of Kyle Pruett, MD, a clinical professor of psychiatry at Yale University Child Study Center. Pruett says spending time early on with a newborn is important for everyone -- dad, mom, and baby.
One advantage: Those early interactions can help boost a new dad's confidence. "Parenting is not in your gonads and not in your genes; it's something you have to learn at the hands of your child and vice versa," he says. "If you don't take paternity leave at the beginning, you will always feel like you're joining the journey in the process, instead of having started off at the trailhead together."
Early participation also strengthens the spousal relationship, says Pruett. "A lot of women talk about feeling more attracted to their spouses when they are competent parents," said Pruett. "To have their spouse be a confident, nurturing father is pretty irresistible to most women."
And even at this young age, a baby benefits from the father's presence as well, says Pruett. The results of his long-term study on the role of the father, published in the Nov. 1998 issue of Pediatrics, found some special strengths in children whose fathers were actively involved in their daily lives. "The children were very competent developmentally," says Pruett. "They tended to have social competence, problem-solving skills, all of which seemed to make them good adapters to the world."

The hard(en) figures
They probably didn't need him to win, but the Cubs landed big when they acquired Rich Harden from the Athletics right before the All Star Break. Since Harden's trade to Chicago on July 8th, the Cubs have gone 23-14, a .621 winning percentage. Harden, meanwhile, has pitched in 8 games. His record is 4-1, his ERA is 1.47. He's struck out 10 or more 5 times, he's given up 2 hits or less 5 times. The Cubs as a team are 6-2 in Harden's starts.
In other words, Rich Harden has been an outstanding addition to the team, not that you've needed me to tell you that. The Cubs have probably the best starting rotation in the game this year, their bullpen is better than it looks statistically, and they are offensively solid in every position. I know I keep saying it, but only because it's not every year that I can.

The gun control debate continues throughout the country. While many focus on restricting who can buy these weapons, one Notre Dame study shows that it may be essential to safeguard the distribution process as well.
Kevin Bradford has studied how manufacturers and distribution methods impact gun crimes since 2001. His team reviewed 28,000 pages of court documents and found there to be a negative relationship between manufacturers who put safeguards in place for distribution and their guns being used in crimes.
A lack of safeguards allows new guns to go to dealers that do not follow the proper process for sales.
"One percent of gun dealers are responsible for 45 to 6 percent of all crime guns," Bradford said.
He suggests more vigilance from manufacturers could keep guns out of the wrong hands.
"Dealers and manufacturers need to step up to the plate a little more," he said.
Bradford points to diversion as the main way criminals acquire these weapons - many of which are new at the time of a crime.
"A lot of these guns come from the primary market and are diverted to the criminal market either by one person buying guns for someone who cannot have a gun, stealing them or dealers themselves knowingly selling to criminals," Bradford said.
He also emphasized that the aim is not to further restrict law-abiding citizens, but to ensure that the appropriate rules are followed from the moment a gun leaves the manufacturing facility.

One of the top aides to U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has been arrested in connection with a string of thefts at the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill.
FOX News reported Monday that Javier Sanchez, a senior legislative assistant to the congresswoman, was arrested on Thursday and charged with "Theft II."
At this time, it is unclear what a charge of "Theft II" entails. No details of the nature of the thefts were immediately disclosed; however, the newspaper Roll Call cited an unidentified source claiming the theft involved cash from the congresswoman's office. Capitol police confirmed they began investigating the thefts earlier this year.
Sanchez was hired in January and was considered one of Bachmann's closest aides, frequently escorting her to and from meetings.
Chad Pergram, of FOX News, said via Twitter that Sanchez pleaded not guilty to the charges in court in Washington, D.C., when he was arraigned last week. His next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 26.
Sanchez, 37, of Virginia, was often seen with Bachmann around the Capitol building and the Rayburn House Office Building, which is where her congressional office is located. The two were seen together several times last week, but Bachmann's office said he was no longer employed as of Friday.
Bachmann plans to retire from Congress in 2014. When explaining why she does not plan to run again in a video on YouTube, she said, "The law limits anyone from serving as president of the United States for more than eight years, and in my opinion, well, eight years is also long enough for an individual to serve as a representative for a specific Congressional district."
Bachmann insisted her decision had nothing to do with the ethics probe into alleged misconduct regarding the campaign finances of her presidential campaign.

You were playing Mancala in the waiting room. I was intrigued by the game and you said someday you'd teach me if you ever ran into me again. Thanks for your kind offer, I hope to see you again, but I had to change my regular appointment time!

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba -- The Obama administration Monday lifted a veil of secrecy surrounding the status of the detainees at Guantánamo, for the first time publicly naming the four dozen captives it defined as indefinite detainees men too dangerous to transfer but who cannot be tried in a court of law.
The names had been a closely held secret since a multi-agency task force sifted through the files of the Guantánamo detainees in 2009 trying to achieve President Barack Obamas executive order to close the detention center. In January 2010, the task force revealed that it classified 48 Guantánamo captives as dangerous but ineligible for trial because of a lack of evidence, or because the evidence was too tainted.
They became so-called indefinite detainees, a form of war prisoner held under Congress 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force.
The Defense Department released the list to The Miami Herald, which, with the assistance of Yale Law School students, had sued for it in federal court in Washington, D.C. The Pentagon also sent the list to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees on Monday, a Defense Department official said.
According to the list, the men designated for indefinite detention are 26 Yemenis, 12 Afghans, 3 Saudis, 2 Kuwaitis, 2 Libyans, a Kenyan, a Moroccan and a Somali.
Human rights groups denounced the existence of such a list.
Amnesty Internationals Zeke Johnson called fundamentally flawed the notion of classifying captives as indefinite detainees. Under international human rights law, he said, all of the detainees should either be charged and fairly tried in federal court, or released.
Human Rights Firsts Dixon Osburn hailed release of the list through the Freedom of Information Act: It is fundamental to democracy that the public know the identities of the people our nation is depriving of liberty and why they are being detained.
Some of the men on the list are among the prisoners currently on hunger strike and being force-fed at the prison, for example, Kuwaitis Fawzi al Odah, 36, and Fayez al Kandari, 35, and Yemeni Abdal Malik al Wahab, about 43, who in March, according to his lawyer David Remes, vowed to fast until he got out of the prison either dead or alive.
Two men on the list are deceased. Both Afghans, one committed suicide with a bedsheet in a recreation yard at Guantánamos Camp 6 for cooperative captives and the other died of a heart attack, also in Camp 6. So now the 166 captives at Guantánamo actually include 46 indefinite detainees.
Two former CIA captives, held apart from the majority of Guantánamos prisoners as high-value detainees are also listed as indefinite detainees: Mohammed Rahim, an Afghan man, and Somali Hassan Guleed.
All the other ex-CIA captives were designated for trial. Those include accused al-Qaida kingpin Khalid Sheik Mohammed, 48, and four alleged fellow conspirators in the hijackings that killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001, who were in pretrial hearings at the war court this week. Also designated for trial was Abd al Rahim al Nashiri, 48, accused in the 2000 USS Cole attack that killed 17 American sailors, and, like Mohammed, facing a death-penalty tribunal.
Administration officials have through the years described a variety of reasons why the men could not face trial: Evidence against some of the indefinite detainees was too tainted by CIA or other interrogation torture or abuse to be admissible in a court; insufficient evidence to prove an individual detainee had committed a crime; or military intelligence opinions that certain captives had undertaken suicide or other type of terrorist training, and had vowed to engage in an attack on release.
In all, the list identifies 34 candidates for prosecution. Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, the Pentagons chief war crimes prosecutor, said Sunday night that fewer than those 34 men will be prosecuted because of federal court rulings that disqualified providing material support for terror as a war crime in most if not all Guantánamo cases.
At Human Rights Watch, senior counterterrorism counsel Andrea Prasow called the list a fascinating window into the Obama administrations thinking circa January 2010 but both flawed and somewhat irrelevant today.
Many of the detainees designated for prosecution can only be prosecuted in civilian court, she said. So unless Congress lifts the restrictions banning their transfer they are effectively indefinite detainees.
She also noted that, since the list was drawn up, the Obama administration was reportedly considering transferring five Afghan Taliban to custody of the Qatari government in exchange for the release of U.S. POW Bowe Bergdahl.
The Wall Street Journal named the five men and all appear on the list released Monday as indefinite detainees: Mullah Mohammad Fazl, Mullah Norullah Noori, Mohammed Nabi, Khairullah Khairkhwa, and Abdul Haq Wasiq.
One man categorized in 2010 as a possible candidate for prosecution was Saudi Arabian Mohammed Qahtani, 37, once suspected of being the absent 20th hijacker in the Sept. 11 plot. He was so brutally interrogated at Guantánamo that a senior Pentagon official excluded him from the Bush-era 9/11 war crimes charge sheet. That official, Susan Crawford, told The Washington Posts Bob Woodward that Qahtanis treatment amounted to torture.
The Miami Heralds Carol Rosenberg, with the assistance of the Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic at the Yale Law School, filed suit in federal court in Washington D.C., in March for the list under the Freedom of Information Act. The students, in collaboration with Washington attorney Jay Brown, represented Rosenberg in a lawsuit that specifically sought the names of the 46 surviving prisoners.
Monday, hours before the release of the names, U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler had set a July 8 deadline for the government to update the court on its classification review. The Justice Department gave the list to Brown, who in turn gave it to Rosenberg.

Hackers compromised the Associated Press Twitter account on Tuesday. The account was almost immediately suspended, but not before more than 4,500 accounts re-tweeted a fake alert about an attack on the White House.
The tweet sent at 1:07 p.m. (EST) read:
"Breaking: Two explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured"
The attack on AP's Twitter account and AP Mobile Twitter account was preceded by a phishing attempt on AP's corporate network.
AP sent out a message over their wire service five minutes after the account was suspended, saying that the Twitter account had been hacked and that the White House tweet was false. The news service said it would advise about the status of the account as soon as possible.
AP spokesman Paul Colford said the news cooperative is working with Twitter to investigate the issue. The AP has disabled its other Twitter accounts following the attack, Colford added. At no time was the AP news wire compromised.
White House Press Secretary responded to the false Twitter report at the beginning of Tuesday's midday press briefing, saying that he was just with Mr. Obama, and that the president was fine.
The cyberattack is the latest in a string targeting international media organizations.
A Syrian
group linked to the outlaw regime of President Assad said it hacked the @AP
twitter account of the Associated Press. That remains to be confirmed, but as brief as
it was, the "flash crash" put billions of investors' dollars at risk.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average briefly went sharply lower after the fake tweet was posted. The Dow fell about 143 points, from 14,697 to 14,554, after the fake Twitter posting, and then quickly recovered.
incredibly scary. It serves to undermine our entire economy," says University
of Illinois Law School professor Daliah Saper. "If the stock market can't
depend on the news, how then can we make trades?"
Other markets also reacted to the fake posting.
The price of crude oil fell, then rose back. The yield on the benchmark U.S. government bond, the 10-year Treasury note, briefly dropped as traders shifted money into low-risk investments.
The turmoil lasted for about five minutes. By about 1:13 p.m., stocks, bonds and crude oil were all trading about where they were before the fake tweet was posted.
A Securities and Exchange Commission spokeswoman declined comment on the incident.
the day's shocks: the Syrian electronic army's mocking claim about the password
protecting the vastly influential associated press twitter account:
apm@rketing, with an ampersand in place of one "a." It was so obvious it seemed to violate every
rule of digital security.
Neither the White House's nor Barack Obama's Twitter accounts posted about the false tweet within the following hour. But hundreds of thousands of other accounts did comment on the situation and share the correct information.
A representative for Twitter did not immediately return messages for comment.
officials say the AP hack shows anyone who's connected to social media is at
risk of being hacked.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

"This design is absolutely adorable. It was love at first sight when I saw this design, I knew I wanted it for our co-ed baby shower. I got the card with round edges and upgraded it to the shimmer pearl paper. I am so glad I got the shimmer peal paper because it made the card look even more amazing. The designer also was able to add in my request of adding text on the back of the card which was a plus. I received this in the mail quite fast and as promised by the delivery date. I feel the quality and product on Tiny prints definately is better than the other websites I have used in the past for cards."
"Great quality, I lo r how they worked with me to get everything just right! Definitely affordable I would definitely recommend"
"These cards and envelopes were great quality and came out even cuter than I expected. Would highly recommend, especially if throwing a shower for an expecting mother who doesn't know if she's having a boy or girl. The only downside is there is very limited space to fill in shower info. I didn't realize that the last line containing registry info was cut off until I received them in the mail. This was my fault, I should have caught that in the design phase. I just attached a piece of paper the size of a business card that contained the logos of the places she registered and paper clipped it to the card."
"Love this invitation! I wanted something simple but pretty for my baby shower and this was perfect. The card looks exactly in person as it does on the computer. The cardstock is nice and heavy. I ordered rush shipping and wasn't expecting it for at LEAST a week and it arrive within 3 days. Great service! Tiny Prints is always wonderful and this expereince was no different."
"LOVED that they had this design since we're having a girl, AND it's my Birthday on Superbowl Sunday this 2014 year! HOWEVER....I ordered 50 and they only sent 40 envelopes....so of course, I find out now when I've got 40 ready to mail out and now I need 10 more envelopes. I didn't notice initially that they offered a rectangular design option (to save on stamps since the square design costs $0.66 to send). Overall, I am happy with my design and purchase."

Mashantucket — The husbands of two beauty pageant winners appearing in a "reality" TV show, "Game of Crowns," allegedly came to blows Sunday night at a premiere party for the show at Foxwoods Resort Casino.
L. Brian Sebastian, of Ledyard, a Mashantucket tribal member whose wife, Vanassa, was Mrs. Connecticut 2012, reportedly was treated at a hospital after he was bitten on the ear.
Brian Sebastian allegedly hit Nicholas Guilmette, a Woonsocket, R.I., police officer, who bit him, according to Trooper Kelly Grant, a state police spokeswoman, who said the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Police Department was investigating the matter.
No arrests were reported.
"At this point there is an active police investigation taking place between the state and tribal police and until the investigation is done we will not be commenting any further on this matter," Bill Satti, the tribe's director of public affairs, said in an email.
Guilmette's wife, Leha, was Mrs. Rhode Island 2013.
"Game of Crowns," advertised as a look into the lives of six "pageant wives," airs on the Bravo channel.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
COLLEGE: Georgia
Analysis: Right now, Caldwell-Pope is one of the fastest risers on NBA draft boards. He is a terrific shooter and a very good athlete. While the Blazers already have Wesley Matthews, adding Caldwell-Pope to the mix gives Portland great depth in the backcourt.
Posted 05/08/2013 10:33 AM
Posted 05/08/2013 10:39 AM
He forgot to highlight his lazy man defense and his love for gambling in the passing lanes. Also failed to mention that he has terrible shot selection for a good shooter, which shows in his low Shooting %. He has very little willingness or ability to take the ball to the rim off the dribble.
He can rebound which is a plus but like Matthews is a poor passer. He is essentially Matthews minus the good defense and with better rebounding.
If this is the selection we make I am worried for this team.

His FG and 3-PT shooting are very similar to that of Klay Thompson coming out of Washington State, so I wouldn't say his percentages are low. He basically was Georgia basketball last season. Also, I don't see any Matthews in his game.
He is a spot up shooter who has very little handles and does not pass well. Those are the epitome of Matthews offensive game.

Ford has Pope ranked 14 on his draft list but he has Portland using the 10 pick to take him. Not sure if that is a sign of respect for the player or disrespect for Portland.
I see no second coming of Maurice Lucas who the Blazers really need now or even a good imitation of him at PF. There are several centers of good size: 6' 11" to 7' 1" several of whom would help the Blazer thin bench. I am intrigued with Kelly Olynyk who moves well, has a good shot with range and does block some shots. Not sure if Zeller or Len will be available to the Blazers if we do pick #10.
Posted 05/11/2013 8:46 PM
Well the reason he has Pope going to the Blazers, is the fact that we desperately need someone to come off the bench that can shoot the ball, and Pope can do that. I would rather grab Mccollum, think he can be our sixth man of the future and sign a shooter like Reddick or Korver. Also I do not agree about Olynk, I believe he has bust written all over him, doesn't seem like he can compete with the physicality and athleticism of this league.

Posted 05/16/2013 4:15 PM
Jamaal Franklin (5/15) 6-5 185 SG/SF San Diego St. Jr., projected 2nd round, the whole meeting consisted of a psychological test taken on a computer
Michael Carter-Williams, (5/15) 6-6 190 PG Syracuse So., asked by the Blazers if he would be willing to come off the bench. Doesn't have a problem, has played SG in HS, but prefers the PG position.
Mike Muscala,6-11 245 PF/C Bucknell Sr., is scheduled to work-out for the Blazers in the coming weeks,
Shabazz Muhammad (5/15) 6-6 225 SF UCLA Fr., is participating in the Combine. Also, will play SG in the NBV. James Southerland 6-7 215 SF/PF Syracuse Sr., will interview with the Blazers on 5/16.
Posted 05/16/2013 10:41 PM
Also Shabazz said he really liked our situation for him. Thats nice to hear, and its always good to have players who want to be there, so that made me like him more than I did before.
Posted 05/16/2013 11:09 PM
yea if we could get him a young back court of him and lillard could be pretty great
Posted 05/17/2013 4:15 AM
I think we could get a good backcourt combo in MCW and Lillard. Both can handle the ball and have the size to guard their matchups on the defensive end. I think if MCW can be a reliable mid range shooter and a dependable free throw shooter (provided he gets there more than Wes) we could have a dangerous line-up.
Muhammad is impressive, but with his slightly checkered history I am quite skeptical. He isn't s great shooter and we need that from our SG. But his rebounding and energy will put him slightly ahead of MCW in terms of what we need right now.
Posted 05/17/2013 7:01 AM
mcw can't do much more then shoot the ball he will be the next nolan smith we need someone who can drive the lane we have enough shooters on this team and he won't have an immidiate impact like everyone predicted a couple months ago I think even 2 pg back court with michael carter williams would be better then mcw

Thanks Ricky. I'll be watching @ 10. Haven't seen enough right hand from Shazamm. Without the ability to take his defender either way off the bounce, let alone finish at the cup with either hand? Second rounder at best.

DamianLilard those are literally 5 of the people I'd want if we got the pick, everyone but I'd pick probably the other 5 over Pope. Also I like Shane Larkin he could be a perfect backup for Dame going into the future.
Posted 05/18/2013 4:21 PM
But if we did get Pope I wouldn't be too disappointed, he balls hard.

Here's my best Mock Draft scenario for the Blazers:
Trade every pick we can to get a starting defensive Center.
We have enough young guys, we need to win now with LA reaching his peak very soon. No more of this youth movement stuff. I'm not watching us turn into the current Cavs
thats cool and all but who do we get I see 2 centers that could be on the move for d12 one being a huge overpriced disappointment and thats chris kaman and the other being a nice upgrade in omer asik but niether would take us to the next level when we don't have a bench

LONDON (AP) -- Arsenal fought back from 2-0 down to beat fierce north London rival Tottenham 5-2 in the Premier League on Sunday and boost its chances of qualifying for the Champions League for a 15th straight season.
Spurs led in the fourth minute through Louis Saha and former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor made it 2-0 with a penalty. But Bacary Sagna and Robin van Persie brought the scores level before halftime and Tomas Rosicky put the Gunners ahead six minutes into the second half.
Theo Walcott then scored twice to give Arsenal its biggest derby win over Tottenham since a 5-0 win at White Hart Lane in December 1978.
The Gunners moved to within seven points of third-place Tottenham and kept fourth place from Chelsea on goals scored.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — Rescuers have stopped searching the cold Pacific Ocean for a couple, two young children and a sinking sailboat as questions of a hoax arise amid no reports of the missing family or any registration of the vessel in question.
The Coast Guard on Tuesday called off the search for a boat that reportedly sank in rough seas far off the Central California coast, saying nothing more could be done and that the family's distress calls might have been a hoax.
"We've exhausted the possibilities," Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Mike Lutz said. The Coast Guard is treating the incident as a rescue, with the possibility the calls came from a trickster.
Coast Guard Executive Officer Noah Hudson in Monterey said it was tough to call off a search, but that if it was a hoax, "it's unfortunate that we were forced to use so many resources for so much time."
Making a false federal distress call is a federal felony, and perpetrators face up to six years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The Coast Guard handles several hundred hoax calls a year, some involving major rescue efforts. A massive search was launched last year in the Atlantic Ocean east of Sandy Hook, N.J., after a caller falsely radioed for help, claiming, "We have 21 souls on board, 20 in the water."
Kurtis Thorsted, 55, of Salinas, Calif., was released from federal prison last summer after being convicted, for the second time, of making false calls to the Coast Guard. Court records show he made 51 distress calls over a five-month period, claiming in one case to be in trouble in a kayak off the coast of Santa Cruz.
Crews off Monterey started looking for the family by sea and air after receiving the first distress call Sunday afternoon. In one call, a man's calm voice is heard saying, "Coast Guard, Coast Guard, we are abandoning ship. This is the (Charmblow). We are abandoning ship."
The caller said they had to abandon the boat and were trying to tie together a makeshift life raft out of a cooler and life-preserver ring, a method taught in survival classes. The Coast Guard then lost radio contact with the boat.
The Monterey Bay at this time of year is about 50 degrees; a person could survive between 30 minutes and an hour without a survival suit or wetsuit.
Investigators said they believed, from the distress calls, that the family included a husband and wife, their 4-year-old son and his cousin, Coast Guard Lt. Heather Lampert has said.
Sailors along this renowned stretch of coastline are a close-knit group who were gripped by the news of the missing family, but also baffled by important omitted details.
Harbor masters at the string of ports that dot the coastline from Monterey to Half Moon Bay told The Associated Press the same thing: No boats launched from their docks were missing, and no family had disappeared from their community.
"It's all kind of strange," said Brad Miller, who operates a fishing charter out of Santa Cruz. "But why would somebody want to make something like that up? What's the point of that?"

Yolk sac
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2010)
|Yolk sac
Human embryo of 2.6 mm.
Human embryo from thirty-one to thirty-four days
|vesicula umbilicalis; saccus vitellinus
|Carnegie stage
The 'yolk sac' is a membranous sac attached to an embryo, providing early nourishment in the form of yolk in bony fishes, sharks, reptiles, birds, and mammals. It functions as the developmental circulatory system of the human embryo, before internal circulation begins.
In humans[edit]
It is the first element seen in the gestational sac during pregnancy, usually at 3 days gestation. It is a critical landmark, identifying a true gestation sac. It is reliably seen early in human pregnancy using ultrasound.
The yolk sac is situated on the ventral aspect of the embryo; it is lined by extra-embryonic endoderm, outside of which is a layer of extra-embryonic mesenchyme, derived from the mesoderm.
Blood is conveyed to the wall of the sac by the primitive aorta, and after circulating through a wide-meshed capillary plexus, is returned by the vitelline veins to the tubular heart of the embryo. This constitutes the vitelline circulation, and by means of it nutritive material is absorbed from the yolk sac and conveyed to the embryo.
At the end of the fourth week the yolk sac presents the appearance of a small pear-shaped vesicle (umbilical vesicle) opening into the digestive tube by a long narrow tube, the vitelline duct.
The vesicle can be seen in the afterbirth as a small, somewhat oval-shaped body whose diameter varies from 1 mm. to 5 mm.; it is situated between the amnion and the chorion and may lie on or at a varying distance from the placenta.
As a rule the duct undergoes complete obliteration during the seventh week, but in about two percent of cases its proximal part persists as a diverticulum from the small intestine, Meckel's diverticulum, which is situated about 60 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve, and may be attached by a fibrous cord to the abdominal wall at the umbilicus.
Sometimes a narrowing of the lumen of the ileum is seen opposite the site of attachment of the duct.
In fish[edit]
All bony fishes, some sharks and rays have yolk sacs at some stage of development, with all oviparous fishes retaining the sac after hatching. Lamniform sharks are ovoviviparous, in that their eggs hatch in utero, in addition to eating unfertilized eggs, unborn sharks participate in intrauterine-cannibalism: stronger pups consume their weaker womb-mates.[1][2][3]
The yolk sac starts forming itself during the second week of the embryonic development, at the same time of the shaping of the amniotic sac. The hypoblast starts proliferating laterally and descending.
In the meantime Heuser's membrane, located on the opposite pole of the developing vesicle, starts its upward proliferation and meets the hypoblast.
- Primary yolk sac/primitive yolk sac: it is the vesicle constituted in the second week, its floor is represented by Heuser's membrane and its ceiling by the epiblast. It is also known as the exocoelomic cavity.[4]
- Secondary yolk sac: this first transformation is determined by the modification of its cover, in the connection zone between the hypoblast and the Heuser membrane. We can observe a structure. The two parts detach and the inferior one, which is smaller, forms a cyst destined to be eliminated. The upper one is now covered only by the hypoblast.
- The final yolk sac: during the fourth week of development, during which we can see the shaping of the embryonic areas. A little portion of the sac, in the upper part, constitutes the intestinal tube. On the other side, the distal part forms a little vesicle that is what remains of the yolk sac.
