How to Breastfeed
Proper cradle hold positioning and latching-on help
Position Yourself Properly
It's easiest to get started breastfeeding the first few times if you are sitting up.
- Sit up in bed, in a comfortable armchair, or in a rocking chair.
- Pillows are a must: Use them behind your back, under your elbow, and on your lap to support the baby.
- Use a footstool to bring your knees up or use pillows under your knees if you are sitting up in bed.
You should be relaxed with none of your muscles straining.
Position Your Baby Properly
Baby should be lying on his side with his whole body facing you and his knees pulled in close to your body.
The steps on the next few slides will walk you through the cradle hold.

common nursing positions and holds.
Hold Baby at the Level of Your Nipple
You and your baby will be more comfortable if you are not leaning forward to reach him and he is not straining to latch on. Using a pillow on your lap will help.
Offer Your Breast to Your Baby
Your thumb and index fingers should form a "C" or "U." Be sure your fingers are well behind the areola.
Support the breast as close to its natural height as possible while the baby latches on and throughout the feeding, with your thumb in line with the baby's nose and four fingers on the other side of the breast.
Keep fingers and thumb well back from the nipple so they don't get in the way as baby latches on.
Encourage Baby to Latch on Properly
If Baby turns his head away, gently stroke his cheek on the side nearest you. The rooting reflex will make him turn his head toward you.
- Encourage the baby to open his mouth wide by moving him toward and away from the breast, touching his lips lightly and repeating until Baby opens wide.
- Baby's mouth should be open really wide, like a yawn, as he latches on.
- Talk to him and encourage him to open his mouth.
Move Baby on to the Breast Quickly and Firmly
When your baby opens his mouth wide, pull him onto the breast chin first, so that his lower jaw (which does all the work during feedings) is as far back on the breast as possible. You want him to take the breast deeply in his mouth.
Once he is latched onto the breast, keep him pulled in very close, so his chin is pressed up into the breast. If his nose seems blocked by the breast, pull his hips and legs in closer to you to angle out his nose.
Learn the 3-Step Latch
Here, again, is what successful latching on should look like:
- First, Baby should open his mouth wide.
- Next, Baby goes onto the breast, chin first.
- Finally, Baby is latched on well.
If Baby is latched on well, it should not hurt to breastfeed.
Encourage Baby to Suck Effectively
In order to suck effectively, Baby must take a large portion of your areola into his mouth along with the nipple. Why? The milk sinuses that must be compressed in order to release the milk are located under the areola.
Again, these pointers can help ensure successful sucking:
- Baby's gums should completely bypass the nipple and should cover all or most of the areola behind the nipple.
- Be sure your nipple is above his tongue.
- Baby should be pulled in so close that his chin is pressed into your breast.
- If Baby's nose seems blocked by your breast, try lifting up your breast or pulling Baby's body in closer to you rather than pressing down on the top of your breast.
Avoid Nipple Soreness or Pain
If your baby is latching on and sucking correctly, you should not feel any painful pressure on your nipple. If Baby seems to be sucking incorrectly or you feel pain as he nurses, you will need to remove the baby from your breast and start over again.
Break the suction by putting your finger in the side of Baby's mouth and either pressing on your breast or gently pulling on Baby's cheek.
Solve Simple Nursing Problems
Don't let your baby continue to suck incorrectly because it can lead to nipple soreness; poor sucking patterns can be hard to correct later on.
Common problems to consider include:
- Baby's mouth needs to be open wider.
- You need to adjust the angle so that his lower jaw is farther back on your breast.
- Baby needs to be pulled in closer to you.
Watch for Effective Sucking Patterns
Many babies know exactly how to suck correctly from the moment they are born. Others take a few days to learn and need specific guidance.
But once Baby is sucking properly, you will take great satisfaction in watching him. As Baby sucks vigorously, the muscles in his face work so hard that even his ears wiggle. You can see the strong action of his jaw muscles and hear him swallowing.
Then once his initial hunger is satisfied, he becomes relaxed, sucking less vigorously, with fewer swallows, as he enjoys the closeness and comfort of being at his mother's breast.
Let Baby Finish One Breast, Then Offer the Other
In the early days of breastfeeding, it is a good idea to offer both breasts at each feeding. If the baby is latched on and positioned well, there is no reason to limit a feeding.
Once Baby is nursing actively, let him nurse from the first breast until he comes off on his own, either by letting go or by falling asleep, and then offer the second breast. Sometimes he will take the other breast, and sometimes he will not, which is fine. If a baby falls asleep or stops nursing actively within a few minutes, he may need to be latched on again and encouraged to continue.
Keep track of Baby's feeding schedule with this handy Breastfeeding Log.
Be Patient
When it comes to latching on, some babies catch on quickly, while others may need more time. For some babies, it may take many tries at feeding before breastfeeding feels comfortable.
You need to coordinate your actions with Baby's reactions so that it all goes smoothly. If Baby gets frustrated, you may have to stop and soothe him a bit before starting again.
But taking the time to get a good latch-on during the early weeks is well worth the effort: Not only does it prevent sore nipples, but it also makes sure Baby gets the most milk for his efforts and stimulates a healthy milk supply.

Sundance Premiere: Before Midnight
Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke turned heads with the first "Before" movie called Before Sunrise, about two strangers who meet on a train and spend a spontaneous day together in Vienna. Then came the second installment, Before Sunset, about the pair meeting up in Paris. Last night at Sundance, the duo released the third in the trilogy, Before Midnight. I caught up with Greg Krelenstein of The Misshapes who fell in love all over again. "I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen," said the pop culture expert. In one word, he gushed, the film was "incredible."

I bought this pen drive from flipkart and got this within 20 hours!!!!! The pen drive was packed compactly,as expected from flipkart.
Now about the pen drive. Here are its pros and cons.
1)Small size
2)Superb looks
3)No cap. If there was one and it is lost, then it will really be a problem. But this one doesn't have one. So good
4)It's a Sandisk
5)Good Transfer Speed. I get about 19 to 20Mbps. Those who complain about low transfer speed, try formatting the pen drive from FAT32 to NTFS to increase the speed. At FAT32 I only get about 5 to 6Mbps while in NTFS, as I have mentioned... (Expand)
If you are searching for a 16gb pendrive around 600, this is the best thing that you could possibly get on the internet. It works really fast.
If you connect it to a :
USB 1.1 PORT =(speed)= Upto 2.0 Mbps transfer rate
USB 2.0 PORT =(speed)= Upto 11.0 Mbps transfer rate
If you are searching for a pendrive for playing HD Movies on your PS3/HDTV/XBOX/etc. then this is the best thing that you could get at this price.
PROS: You could store a single file of size upto 14.9 GB at once
DON'T EVER GO FOR TWO 8GB PENDRIVES. BECAUSE, IT DOEN'T LET YOU STORE ANY HUGE FILE OF MORE... (Expand)
The Pen Drive has an average write speed of about 6 Mbps and reading speed of about 18-20 Mbps running on FAT32 . As few other reviewers have told please DONT format your pen drive to NTFS as this will effect the Cruzer Blade's performance in a negative way! Previously I had the same pen drive (Cruzer Blade 16GB itself) which i had purchased from SP Road but after reading the misleading reviews out here i formatted it and the magnificent pen drive became ridiculous. The write speed became 3.5 Mbps but the read speed was not affected. Even after reformatting it to its original FAT32 format f... (Expand)
frst off all we should never talk about flipkart services.......its dam awesome and well packed..............we only have to talk about product ....
i heard hen memory increases speed decreases.............
i was using 4 gb pendrive transcend.....it was really awesome..........it was in my pocket when my mom washed it in washing machine ,then make it wet under the sun then .iron it and still it gave me a speed of 10-20 mbbs(i mis it so much :(
but life goes on........who ever find that speed it less ..guess what that right.......after fprmating it from ntfs style.....and put the pendrive... (Expand)
Pen Drive is a product which is meant for rough use and is born to be inserted into million USB ports. The ports might belong to Car Systems, Laptops, Tablets or Desktops and might be deformed overtime. Also, a pen drive is generally used very un-delicately.
This pen drive is so delicate that its tips have broken within 2 months of use in all of the above mentioned devices.
Go for any other make but this. We haven't used any other Sandisk drive do can't comment but this particular pen drive is a strict no-no.
Recommendation: Don't Buy
works fine , also the packing was good , spped is fast , deffinately a gr8 buy , it solves my transfer needs (View complete review)
I think no review needed ... everyone used this pd ... it's simply best at its price .. ..... Just buy it ......... 5/5 ... (View complete review)
Good Transfer speed and also good with USB 3.0, this pendrive also supports Ready boost, formatable to NTFS Drive type for transferind data more than 5GB at once. (View complete review)
does the job at a cheaper price. Its fast,durable (using it for more than a year and i have more than of this pendrive) and service has been excellant i don't know how will the other costlier pendrives manage to compete with this. (View complete review)
Best in the range.
Good performance.
Good Transfer Speed.
Superb looks.
However,it is small in size.I recommend the users to hang a keybunch or a chain in the hole provided so that it is not lost easily. (View complete review)

Obama pledges US support after Kenya 'outrage'
President Barack Obama on Monday called the attack in a Nairobi mall a "terrible outrage" and said the United States would provide law enforcement support to Kenya.
Obama, whose father was from Kenya, said he had spoken to Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta. The United States would work with Africa and nations around the world to dismantle networks that cause such violence, he said.
"I want to express personally my condolences not only to President Kenyatta, who lost some family members in the attack, but to the Kenyan people," Obama told reporters.
"We stand with them against this terrible outrage that's occurred. We will provide them with whatever law enforcement support that is necessary. And we are confident that Kenya will continue to be a pillar of stability in Eastern Africa."
Obama made his remarks during a meeting with Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan in New York. Both men are in town for the U.N. General Assembly.
"Terror anywhere in the world is terror on all of us," Jonathan said.
Al Shabaab, a militant Somali Islamist group, launched the mall raid, which has killed at least 62 people. Kenyatta, who lost one of his own nephews in Saturday's bloodbath, said he would not relent in a "war on terror" in Somalia, where Kenyan troops have pushed al Shabaab onto the defensive in the past two years as part of an African Union-backed peacekeeping mission across the northern border.

hey guys! hows it going? its been a long time. the days turn into weeks, the weeks turn into months...it goes so fast! man its a little too much to take sometimes... we've been busy as ever over at the shop, working on a bunch of cool stuff, so that's been good. anyway, i figured i'd post some commercial stuff i can show now, and say how pumped i am to be doing the Berlin show. marko is putting together a great line up, and i think it promises to be a great workshop with a very diverse cross section of instructors to learn from...i hope i'll see some of you there!
so here is a smattering of random stuff.
some army of two 40th day concepts, a few grunts and an environment....was nice to get to do a little work for the sequel as well.
next is a concept i did for midway a couple years ago..these were a mix of 3d, photos and paint. i included the thumbnails as well on these, as i was pretty happy with them.
next is a character concept for silent hill shattered memories. we did a bunch of character stuff for the nice guys over at climax. despite his sad demeanor, i had lots of fun working on this
i had the great opportunity to be able to do some pre vis for the intro set design for this season's dancing with the stars for the good people over at leroy clarkson recently. i made these with some 3d, photo textures, and photoshop. this was a very fun job, and the guys were awesome to work with. they do some really fantastic work over there.
next, here are some storyboards i did for the guys over at buck a few years ago. this was one of the craziest jobs ive ever done in terms of content. it was a blast, and in the end it was really cool to see the commercial, and how closely they matched the shots to the boards. if you go to youtube and type "coke zero bear" you can see the commercial. its amazing.
im also attaching a recent self portrait i did from life recently too. i posted it in my sketchbook not too long ago so apologies if youve sen it already. i dont get to oil paint as much as id like these days so i gotta milk what i have!
also if anyone cares, been working a bunch on the transient man comic...should have an update very soon.
hope you like and thanks for looking!

awesome as always
Ridiculously good, your cityscapes completely floored me, best I've ever seen. Your ability to capture different types of light is inspiring. Also the coke bear storyboards made me burst out laughing at several points, it seemed to keep on getting ever more ridiculous. Nice work on those. The oil self portrait is intense too, I saw it in your sketchbook but it really is intense and has a great old master feel to it that is distinctly Coro. Sweet stuff man.
It's always great to see updates from you! Awesome stuff as usual. It's great to see the variety of work you get to do. I esp. love the oil painting. Man, is there anything you can't do? sheesh! =>
good lord..
as ever your range is impressive and definately looking forward to some more Transient!
I love those midway city scenes man, they look so believable, all those details are spot-on.
Was great to hang out with you last weekend, hope I can make it to Berlin

Dood, that storyboard sequence I can see you totally laughing away. Honestly looks like you had fun and really made it actually cool and enjoyable. If I read that script, think a bit of vomit would have came up.
Bravo on everything! Still cannot believe that you are able to hammer on your comic while doing all of this. I'm seriously in awe. Have a wonderful time in Berlin,

The first city view with the sun on the bicycle is baddass. I love how rich and yet peacefull it is.
Your last oil portrait rocks.
i am Jack's complete lack of surprise ... www.e338.com.
Second that e338! The firts city view is really awesome. Especially the light on the bike. It's very cinematic when you scroll from top to bottom.
And then the man gazing at the photograph on the floor..... Where did I see that "photograph" before? Before this thread I looked at the thread from Jason Chan... But it wasn't there....
Yeah, that's it! It was a detail from the girl on the swing from the thread of Wes Burt which I saw yesterday! )
The "project criminal" images have a great atmosphere.
Great stuff!
Love the storyboard! I love those crazy cartoonfilms where one scene leads seamlessly to the next one. Great job! The other pics are cool too.
Thanks for posting.
cityscenes are drop dead gorgeous! Love it all man...but that acid bear trip is too much! too good! LOVE the hot animal chicks with the pink thongs! Have a blast in berlin, I bet it's gonna be the best gathering yet! ;p
¡Que Viva El Concept Art Atelier!
[ Sketchbook! (old) ]
that self portrait is crazy. you just lost everything in a linseedy haze. looks awesome.
you can pretty much ref your face for any further work involving bears. at this point, your beard has a beard.. and that beard has a villainous mustache.
-: [ sketchbook | sour.org ] :-
Obvious man-crush aside, you already know that your one of my favorite modern artists El Beardo, but im going to say it again anyway:
"You are one of my favorite artists of modern day"
I really think its your complete mastery of subtlety that does it for me.
The eye expression alone of that character for the second 40th day concept stuff just conveys so much attitude; you know how to make them deep on the first read and I really think folks could learn a lot from how much you communicate based simply on expression and body language.
Same gig with the silent hill piece, which is so powerful I think; the guy is just so defeated and forlorn, that and the distance the photograph is from him really adds complexity to the idea; you feel that distance and it implies theres more to know than what may appear to be a guy pining over a lost love.
I mean BLAM - so much communicated, I wish more folks used subtelty the way you do instead of beating people over the head with how much crap and props they can pile on top of a character and call it "dimension".
And believe it or not I really think the dancing with the stars shit is amazing.
Like its on top of mount olympus or something, you get this real majestic presence and personality from how you positioned the camera and lighting effects.
The coke zero stuff is just gleefully ridiculous, dude - again; the subtlety isnt lost on me there either, you can feel some of that comedic timing.
To me infusing personality, attitude and presence into ones work - reguardless of content - is really a true hallmark of a gift.
I guess I just cant blow enough smoke up your ass buddy, what can I say?
Ill catch you later, boss - be safe- and have a great time in Berlin!

More PvP, man on man, woman on woman review goodness.
The Junkyard has reviewed Guild Wars. Gary Coleman requested polited that we interview him. We politely refused, get it, refuse...Junkyard... bah..Here's what Coleman said:
" When someone says, "RPG", what do you think of? I would come back with either rocket propelled grenade or a story-driven game involving leveling and lots of monsters/bad guys. Add the prefix "online" and I get monthly fees and other people to romp around with. Guild Wars is something new. While it obeys some old RPG laws, it has also broken or bent others and introduced a few new ones. The end result is something unique and, if I may, something pretty frickin' awesome. "

CHARLESTON (AP) - Time is running out for West Virginians to cast their ballots early for Tuesday's election.
Early voting that began Oct. 24 ends at 5 p.m. Saturday. Absentee ballots must be postmarked by Election Day.
The Secretary of State's office says 120,395 West Virginians already have cast early and absentee ballots for the general election. That's about 10 percent of registered voters.
As of Friday, the site states Democrats cast 61,544 ballots and Republicans cast 42,753.
Unaffiliated and alternative-party voters cast the remaining ballots.
In 2008, more than 153,000 people cast early ballots for the general election. The Secretary of State's Office says that was almost 22 percent of all votes cast, and helped lift overall turnout to nearly 59 percent.

Food pairing with Champagne...no seafood or fish
- ChicagoKat Jan 8, 2007 08:32 PM
Looking to put together a multi-course dinner to pair with various champagnes/sparkling wines. A couple of guests are allergic to seafood and fish, so I need recipes other than these traditional items. Any suggestions? I've heard mushrooms, cheese, eggs pair nicely. Also, specific recommendations as to what might pair well with Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc or Laurent Perrier NV Brut? Thanks!!
They say that champagne goes with everything. I agree with them whomever they are. Focus on the main menu and get several good sparklers to go with them. You won't go wrong with the ones you've selected. Blanc de blancs for lighter dishes and salads, blanc de noir or a good brut rose for more assertive dishes like and herbed rack of lamb. Start off with an kir royale using a Franch or Alsatian cremant and a good French creme de cassis. And of course champagne goes well with all things chocolate. I like champagne with all kinds of souffles.
Champagne is a great no brainer as far as pairing food. Lucky for you!! It is great with tapas, starter food, fantastic with heavy meals, spicy thai or indian food. A simple guide could be get on the internet and match the grapes if you really want to do serious pairing.
Brut- blend of grapes
Blanc de Blanc- mostly chardonnay usually, but could be a blend of white grapes
Blanc de Noir, pinot noir grapes.
Laurent:Chardonnay 45%, Pinot Noir 40%, Pinot Meunier 15%. (Chardonnay proportion is double the average in Champagne.)
Schramsberg- chardonnay.
with multi course make sure you end your meal with a sweeter style,such as extra dry, demi sec or an italian moscato di asti (my favorite).
Don't be shy of Rose' champagnes or italian prosecco or spanish cavas.
As far as food goes- you have lots of choices.
One party favor that is simple and easy, at Wal Mart or Sams club they have some mushroom tarts, bake them and then buy some fruit relish or chow chow to top it. so easy and everyone likes them.
do a bread with different spreads.
chicken, pork, lamb or beef.
i'd say you could do a lovely cheese souffle if you're feeling ambitious. or a nice light cream soup.
Chaource cheese is from the Champagne region and would be a natural choice as a cheese course. Also a chicken terrine/pate/mousse would work well also. Lastly I might try a pasta course with a cream sauce made with either mushrooms (and truffles?) or veal with tarragon. I really like the textural contrast that all these choices create when served with Champagne.
Champagne goes well with pastas in cream based sauces as long as they are not too heavy. It also goes well with pesto.
If you are going to pair it with cheeses, use mild cheeses like brie, gouda, etc. not overly sharp or pungent cheeses.
Another thing to pair it with is ham or spicy sausages.
We had a vintage 1998 Pierre Peters Blanc de Blanc on New Year's Eve. We went to Fox and Obel and they told us to try a cheese from the Champagne region in France called Langres.
It was fantastic with the Champagne.
It is similiar to a brie but with more body.
Mostly everything...
Most cheeses
Breads, foccacia
One of my favorites: roasted asparagus with goat cheese and crumbled bacon
We do a "sparkler" party every year, in which each guest brings a bottle of their favorite sparkling wine, and we make a bunch of small dishes that go with champagne. Just had the party last month, and some of the winners were:
Cheeses - Chaource was mentioned, and it's an excellent choice, as is the Langres. Also consider triple and double cremes like Pierre Robert, Delice d'Bourgogne, Fromager d'Affinois, etc. My favorite match is a triple creme from Italy named La Tur. Parmigiano Reggiano is also a surprisingly good match. Serve on lightly toasted thinly sliced baquettes for a nice crunch and a toasty flavor that works great with champagne.
Stuffed dates - One of the favs of the party, and very easy to make. Pit the dates, stuff with matchstick size pieces of Parmigiano Reggiano (use the good stuff), wrap in bacon, and bake at 350 until the bacon is crisp.
Tarts - We used frozen puff pastry spread on a cookie sheet to save time and make a larger tart. Bake until just starting to brown. Spread with soft goat cheese (used Purple Haze, nice infusion of fennel pollen and lavender in the cheese), then a tart filling made with eggs, cream, and your favorite savory herbs, and top with whatever you have on hand. One we topped with sauteed mushrooms, another with heirloom tomatoes drizzled with aceto balsamico. Put back in the oven until the cheese is melted, filling is set, and the crust is golden. Easy and a great match.
Lamb - just marinated some chops in EVOO, lemon juice and rosemary, then grilled them up.
Grapes w/blue cheese - Freeze some red grapes. Make a mixture of blue cheese (a creamy one like Blue d'Auvergne or Gorgonzola Dolce), butter (just enough to make the cheese very creamy and easy to work with), and your favorite herbs minced fine (we used fresh thyme). When the grapes are frozen, wrap the mixture around the grapes, then chill to firm up before you serve. Kinda messy, but a big hit.
Endive - Made a similar mixture to the above, using Roquefort and a little less butter, add finely chopped nuts, spread on the endive leaves and serve. Nice variety of textures and flavors and easy to make and eat.
Our party was "buffet" style, so we made about a dozen different little plates.
re: rednyellow
seriously, be sure to include a crispy deep-fried course...the fine bubbles provide a wonderful foil for grease, cleansing the palate beautifully. We always make shrimp toast but you could do a Spanish croquette-type item, or tempura vegetables.
I had a wonderful pairing at a restaurant of chalky medium-age goat cheese with 1996 Veuve Clicquot.

GMP Esquire
Months later, I'm still finding pockets I didn't know I had. I usually wear a medium, found it to be a little big.
This jacket looks good, & feels comfortable. Plenty of pockets. Has good maneuverability. Great with thermal 34 degrees and up. Definitely layer up for sub freezing temps. Would be better if it had a spot to run ear bud wire. Zipper pulls broke, quick fix with a nylon hair elastic. All in all for the price this is a great coat.
Nice Burton shell jacket, perfect for layering up underneath on those cold days or running it solo when the temps rise. Excellent protection when the slushy wet snow is falling. The zipper pulls could definitely use some work, they slide right off unless you keep an eye on them. All in all a nice jacket to have in your arsenal.
Over all this jacket is nice, it did take two seasons before it started falling apart, although it still keeps me dry the bungee straps in the hood broke(didnt even really use them)Zipper Pulls sucked, they basically just fell off after pulling on them(attached new ones). Needed place to run the headphone wires to the hood rather than just floating inside the jacket.
Purchased this along with Burton Cargo Pants as a gift for Christmas. He loves them and they are great together.

This is great!! I had checked out some music using the Seeqpod/SafariDL Plugin before and couldn't play the music after cause it would not show anywhere on my phone. Now that I installed dTunes...the music I downloaded before shows up now

The only thing I'd like to see added is the length of the track or size of the file after you use the search feature.
Where do the songs get saved to?
anyone know how to download?
when I search and choose a track it just plays it in a quicktime window and only gives me "done" as an option.
Did you download the app through Cydia? If so, double check to make sure you have the SAfari Download Plugin installed as well - Cydia should automatically do that for you though.
according to cydia it was already installed, I re-installed and rebooted
works fine now
many thanks

Can This mREIT Out Maneuver The Fed?
Waqar is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In its bid to out-maneuver the Fed's policy of keeping the rates low, Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY) disclosed its interest in purchasing the remaining stocks of CreXus Investments (NYSE: CXS.DL). CreXus Investments specializes in the acquisition and management of commercial mortgage backed securities. Annaly Capital currently holds around 12.4% of CreXus and the full acquisition would provide risk-adjusted returns to shareholders, while at the same time act to diversify Annaly's asset portfolio.
Besides the acquisition, Annaly Capital has been busy improving its capital strategy over the past 12 months in its attempt to continue to deliver income for its investors. It has met success in lowering its cost of capital through the issuance of $1.5 billion of convertible notes and preferred equity. It has also extended the duration of its borrowings by 93 days. Besides these efforts, the company has restructured its capital by buying back its convertible notes worth $447.1 million and also announced a share buyback program of up to $1.5 billion.
The company is famous for its double digit dividend yield and for generating income by investing in mortgage backed securities. It earns a spread between its own cost of capital and interest payments received on the invested MBS. Another source of income for Annaly is the dividends it receives from its subsidiaries. The company's operations are highly linked to the policies of the Fed. Therefore, it has experienced a significant downfall in both its net interest spread and the net interest income. As the Fed lowered the interest spreads through Operation Twist and QE3, Annaly reported an EPS of $0.45 per common share for the third quarter of 2012, missing the estimate by $0.02.
The Fed is meeting this week to consider whether to end its unprecedented easing or not. I believe the easing will be here for a large part of 2013. Having said that, I believe diversification is the only way out for pure play mortgage REITs. Armour's charter already allows it to include assets other than Agency MBS. Therefore, if American Capital Agency (NASDAQ: AGNC) and Armour Residential (NYSE: ARR) also consider such diversifications, they would experience in their interest incomes.
The stock offers a dividend yield of 12.12%, compared to 1.88% offered by the 10-year Treasuries. This is compared to 15.91% and 13.64% offered by the American Capital Agency and Armour Residential REIT, respectively.
Annaly has cheap valuations compared to its peers in the Agency mortgage REITs sector. Annaly is trading at 8% discount to its third quarter book value. In contrast, ARR is trading at 6% premium, while AGNC is trading at 13% premium to its book value.
The acquisition and improvements in the capital structure are part of the Annaly's policy to out maneuver the Fed. The inclusion of CreXus will give Annaly additional access to the high yielding commercial mortgage backed securities. CreXus, the commercial mortgage REITs earns four times more than what Annaly earns. An acquisition would boost Annaly's income and give it exposure to the commercial real estate market. Therefore, I recommend investors buy Annaly Capital and benefit from its double digit dividend yield.

Ectopic Ureter
What is an ectopic ureter?
Most children are born with two ureters, one to drain the urine from each kidney into the bladder. But nature gives some children more than the usual allotment.
In most cases, a bonus ureter causes no problems. Yet what if one of these ureters is not connected correctly — and drains incorrectly?
That is the case for children with an ectopic ureter. Luckily, medicine has given urologists a wide range of diagnostic tests and surgical techniques to help your child deal with this difficulty.
What are the causes of ectopic ureter?
Normally, ureters work this way:
One ureter drains the urine from each kidney to the bladder.
The urine is then stored in the bladder until one voluntarily urinates.
Sometimes, there may be two ureters draining a single kidney. One ureter drains the upper part of the kidney and the second ureter drains the lower portion.
As long as they both enter the bladder normally, this "duplicated collecting system" is not a problem.
Problems happen in the rare cases where a child may be born with an ectopic ureter. This is a ureter which fails to connect properly to the bladder, and drains somewhere outside the bladder.
In girls, the ectopic ureter usually drains into the urethra or even the vagina. In boys, it usually drains into the urethra near the prostate or into the genital duct system.
It's possible for an ectopic ureter to happen in a non-duplicated collecting system. However, it's more common in a duplicated system.
What are ectopic ureter symptoms?
If your child has blockage of the ureter, or can't control urination, that can be a warning sign for an ectopic ureter.
Poor drainage, accompanied by back pressure, can cause the ureter and portion of the kidney it services to become distended or swollen. This condition is called hydronephrosis, and we can spot it easily on an ultrasound.
This is why many babies with an ectopic ureter are detected when the pregnant mother undergoes a prenatal ultrasound. However, not all ectopic ureters are hydronephrotic. In those cases, an ultrasound won't help.
When an ectopic ureter is present, there may also be a slight flaw in the normal ureter's connection between the kidney and bladder. This flaw can result in vesicoureteral reflux, a disruption of the passage of urine from the kidney, through the ureter, to the bladder and finally out the urethra. With reflux, as the bladder fills or empties some urine flows backward into the kidney. Vesicoureteral reflux places patients at a higher risk for kidney infections and is another reason some children with ectopic ureters show signs of a urinary tract infection.
How is ectopic ureter different for girls?
Poor drainage from an ectopic ureter may make children more likely to have urinary tract infections. In addition to hydronephrosis, ectopic ureters in girls may cause incontinence since the ureter drains urine directly into or near the vagina.
This problem becomes evident after toilet-training. It is usually distinguished from other forms of incontinence in girls because the incontinence is a constant dripping moistness rather than episodes of loss of bladder control.
Some girls will be treated with medication and other therapies for many years before the correct diagnosis of an ectopic ureter is made. Boys with ectopic ureters do not generally have incontinence since the ectopic ureter drains inside the body. However, they may still show symptoms of hydronephrosis or a urinary tract infection.
How is ectopic ureter diagnosed?
That depends on the problem your child is having.
If hydronephrosis is detected on a prenatal ultrasound, then the ultrasound is usually repeated after the child is born.
A bladder X-ray, called a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) is then taken to rule out vesicoureteral reflux as the cause for swelling of the kidney and ureter. The VCUG is also used to determine if there is reflux in a second ureter associated with the ectopic ureter. Usually with the combination of an ultrasound and a VCUG, the doctor can determine if there is hydronephrosis.
Sometimes other diagnostic studies, such as renal flow scan or a formal kidney X-ray (called an intravenous pyelogram, or IVP), may help to clarify the anatomy. The kidney or portion of the kidney drained by the ectopic ureter often functions poorly. This can be assessed with a renal flow scan. Both tests involve an injection of contrast dye picked up by the kidney and then seen either by standard X-ray pictures (for an IVP) or with a special camera for detecting small amounts of radioactivity in the dye (for the renal flow scan). This functional information may be important in selecting the form of treatment.
A cystoscopy may be performed (often at the time of definitive treatment). In this test, usually performed under general anesthesia, a small telescope is placed into the urethra and vagina. From there, the openings of the ureters from both kidneys are identified. Even if the ectopic ureter's opening can't be identified, we can identify the number and location of the other ureter openings. By doing that, the diagnosis can usually be confirmed.
If your child shows symptoms of urinary incontinence, the same sequence of tests is usually undertaken. However, if the ureter is not swollen and there is no associated reflux, the ultrasound and VCUG may be normal.
If the symptoms suggest an ectopic ureter, then sometimes this can be seen on a renal flow scan or IVP. Occasionally, a CT scan is needed to see the ectopic ureter and the portion of the kidney it drains.
The diagnosis is not always easy to make. Because other causes of incontinence are very common in children, some children may be incontinent for years before the diagnosis is made.
Treatment for an ectopic ureter:
We treat ectopic ureters with surgery. To control the risk of infection, your child may be placed on a low dose of antibiotics beforehand.
There are three surgical techniques — nephrectomy, ureteropyelostomy and ureteral reimplantation — to correct this problem. Each one has advantages and disadvantages.
Nephrectomy (upper pole heminephrectomy):
In this surgery, the kidney or the portion of it that is drained by the ectopic ureter is removed. This stops the flow of urine into the ectopic ureter, thus curing the incontinence and reducing the chance of infection.
Advantages: Technically the simplest operation, nephrectomy also has the lowest complication risk. It is particularly attractive when the kidney or portion of the kidney draining through the ectopic ureter is functioning poorly. It may also be used when that kidney portion is functioning properly if the opposite kidney is normal. Traditionally, this operation is performed through an incision under the ribs, but it can now be done laparoscopically in some patients.
Disadvantages: The potentially functioning kidney tissue may be removed and the bottom end of the ectopic ureter is left in place. While usually not a problem, the remaining part of the ectopic ureter can cause infections in the future.
In this procedure, the ectopic ureter is divided near the kidney and sewn into the normal collecting system of the lower part of the kidney. This allows the urine from the upper part of the kidney to drain normally.
Advantages: This method protects all the kidney tissue, but still leaves the bottom half of the ectopic ureter in place.
Disadvantages: It has a slightly higher complication rate than the other operations.
Ureteral reimplantation:
In this operation, the ectopic ureter is divided near the bottom and sewn into the bladder so that urine drains well and does not flow backwards. It's usually performed through an incision above the pubic bone.
Advantages: Like ureteropyelostomy, this operation preserves all kidney tissue. It also removes more of the abnormal ectopic ureter than the other two procedures and allows the surgeon to stop any vesicoureteral reflux.
Disadvantages: Has a slightly higher complication rate than the other two surgeries. It can also be technically difficult if performed in small infants.

"Modern, clean, spacious, views of which one could never tire (just like the website photos!), like a 5 star hotel but with a feeling of home. Great gym, pleasant swimming pool, 10 minute walk to the Convention Centre and then the waterfront, easy walk to the trolleycar & local buses to Balboa Park, great 'organic' supermarket in nearby Horton Plaza. We ( middle-aged couple, our daughter and her baby) found it effortless to stay here for a week."Guest: M Date of Stay: May 2014 Review Submitted: June 3, 2014View listing
"A colleague and I stayed in this great place for a week while attending a conference at the convention center. The walk to/from the convention center was a quick walk with plenty to see along the way. The condo was great, very clean, great kitchen, really great place. I would highly recommend this condo. There is an Albertsons grocery store a few blocks away to stock up the kitchen for the week as well. The owner was great to work with as well. Again, if you need a place to stay in downtown SD this is the place!"Guest: Adam R. Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: July 21, 2014View listing
"We could not have picked a better place to stay! We decided to do a last minute road trip to San Diego for a couple of days, and I'm so glad we didn't stay in a hotel. This is a memory we will always have! We made a fire in the pit on the balcony while looking at the lights of downtown. Thank you so much for your accommodations! I already have friends I'm referring to stay here."Guest: Chad and Cailey Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 1, 2014View listing
"Booking was easy. Location was great. Travelling with a toddler and infant can be daunting, but this rental was key to a successful family vacation! It was way better than staying in a hotel! It was a great size and layout for our family. There was a pack & play available, games, a few toys, beach toys, etc. We ate outside for every meal, walked to the bluff to watch sunsets, walked to the beach and the shops for ice cream, and grocery shopping is conveniently located. We'd definitely stay here again on future trips to San Diego."Guest: Schroed Family Date of Stay: May 2014 Review Submitted: May 25, 2014View listing

This is a longshot but...
Reddish orange CE Teebird, been with me many years.
I used it for my tee shot. I marked my lie and then proceeded to leave it lying there
I realized it was gone on hole 10. I ran over to grab it when we were on 11 but it was gone. No groups were behind us. Maybe a random walker picked it up. All it has on it is my PDGA number.
If anyone comes across this disc a kind reward will come your way. Thanks
