Sunday afternoon, Slava Kozlov packed his bags, bade farewell to Jim Slater, Marty Reasoner and Nik Antropov…then exited Schnide Island. Slava took a pass from Todd White and beat Nikolai Khabibulin at the 11:59 mark of the third period to score what turned out to be the game-winner as the Thrashers bested the visiting Edmonton Oilers 3-2…extending their win streak to a season-high four straight.
Later, Reasoner almost left Slates and Antropov alone to battle it out for "Last Off Schnide Island" honors, but his blast rang off the post with just under two minutes remaining in the game.
Kozlov finished the day with that goal as well as a secondary assist on Zach Bogosian's tally that opened the scoring early in the first period. He now has seven helpers on the season and his +1 for the game brings him to a -3 for the season.
Kaptain Kovy got the primary assist on Zach's power play blast…giving him 8 overall points in the three games after returning from his foot injury. He now has 12 goals and 18 overall points in the 11 games he's played in.
Mad-Max Afinogenov continued his brilliance of late with yet another goal. This time he took a Rich Peverley breakaway pass from the Thrashers' blueline and slipped a backhander past Khabibulin to tie the score at 2-2 with just 22 second remaining in the second. At the time, Edmonton was attempting to kill off an Ethan Moreau hooking minor. Afinogenov has four goals in the three games since fellow countryman and linemate Ilya Kovalchuk returned last Thursday.
For the season Max has 7 goals and 10 assists…he's also a +1. Not bad for a "defensive liability".
Up to that point, the Oilers netminder had been unbeatable in the second as he'd turned away the first 12 Atlanta shots in that middle frame…many from close in. But Max's nifty finish on the 13th got the better of him.
The Pevs Dispenser chipped in a pair of assists on the afternoon, bringing his season total to 15. His eight goals on top of that give him a team-high 23 overall points.
Johan Hedberg got the nod for today's start and his 34 saves on 36 shots improved his season record to 4-1-0 with a .923 SV% and 2.63 GAA.
The Thrashers penalty killing unit continued their fine work on the season, killing off all five power play chances the Oilers were afforded. None more important than the holding the stick call Bogosian took with just 4:50 remaining in the game. Edmonton ended the game with a massive flurry around Hedberg, but the Thrashers' trusty backup was up for the task and sent the Oilers out of town with the loss.
Atlanta converted on 2 of their three power play opportunities.
The Thrashers' PK is currently the 5th best in the NHL…84.5% effective. The power play is successful 26.5% of the time, which tops in the league.
With the win, Atlanta leapfrogged over idle Tampa Bay to take over second place in the Southeast division. Their 10-6-1 record gives the one more point than the Lightning's 20. Both teams have played 17 games. Washington has 28 overall points to lead the Southeast, but they've played 3 more games.
The Thrashers also moved past the Boston Bruins who, like the Bolts, have 20 points…Boston has played two more than the Thrashers, however. Atlanta will host Boston in their next game this coming Thursday night.
The 21 points now tie Atlanta with Philadelphia and the Islanders for 6th, 7th and 8th best in the conference. The Flyers have only played 16 games while New York has 20 games under their belts.
And finally…with three consecutive wins at home, Atlanta has pulled it's record playing in Thrasherville to even at 4-4-0.

Left over comment from last Blog, 10 minutes ago.
Is is? Calm down Brendan! I know we're kind of approaching foreign territory (major optimism/Kovy signing/a coach the players love/a good locker room/goalie competition), but let's keep it in perspective…… on the other hand…..What the hell …… WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Max, Pevs, Bogosian, Kane ….. a team with enough depth to put Reasoner on the 4th line. 17 games in and we've only been embarassed once. I hope this team is as confident as it should be. They will/should only play stronger as their confidence grows.

Eh, I should've known I'd be too late after reading the article. I'll settle for the silver.
Solid game today. Up until the last flurry by the Oilers shots were even at 30 and Thrash had out shot them 12-6 in the third.
This has been mentioned before, but the reason the team has been more successful this year is the special teams. As Rawhide points out, 5th in the league on the PK now. Are you kidding me??? That's outstanding to say the least. And don't forget the best PP in the league as well. That'll win you some hockey games folks. Hard to believe, but I hope they keep it up!
November 15th, 2009
5:44 pm
We're in 7th place in the Conference. Go ahead, look. http://www.nhl.com/ice/standings.htm?type=con#&navid=nav-stn-conf
Great day for Kozlov, Peverley, our PP Unit, our PK unit! I think we went 5-5 on the PK. White, Enstrom, and Kozlov were all +1. Bogosian continues to rock. Maybe the highlight of the afternoon was Max Afinogenov's PPG right before the end of the 2nd stanza.
Hainsey logged the most minutes, at 24:42, but was a -2 on the afternoon. Still, those minutes reflect confidence by Coach John Anderson, coming off a minor injury.
November 15th, 2009
6:20 pm
Kozy turned up the knob in the third period of the Blues game and has been alive ever since. Not sure why he waited 15 games to start his season, but he's here now. Welcome off the Schnide! Reasoners is next, then Kovy will bounce one of Antro's knee into the net to leave Slats alone.
November 15th, 2009
6:39 pm
Brendan – I've really noticed a consistent high energy from Hainsey since he's been paired with Zach. It feels like we are starting to get the player we thought we signed 1 1/2 years ago. I think he deserved better than a -2 today.
November 15th, 2009
6:48 pm
It was pointed out two former Thrahser captains were in town, so was
a former Atlanta Flames captain, Pat Quinn, who had MANY NICE things to say about his time in town in the 70's !
Nailbiter for sure, but a WIN and we needed that since we do not play for three days…. Congrats to Slava, I spelled it RIGHT this time,
nice goal and Max does it again, looking like solid pickup at this point !!!!!
November 15th, 2009
7:12 pm
>>I think he deserved better than a -2 today.
Yeah, I thought Hainsey had a nice game. He worked hard. THe team deserved better in the second. They really outplayed the Oilers in that period, but gave up the 2 goals. Thankfully Max's tally salvaged the period and go the momentum back.
Hopefully that goal gets Kozzie's head on straight. During that wild scrum during the 2nd perios when we were peppering the Oilers, Kozlov had the puck for what seemed like an eternity, then finially had a great look and ended up turning his back to the net,never shooting, and loosing the puck. Cleary he was overthinking it.
Moose with another solid job.
A nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

After playing three games in four nights, all W's, this squad deserves some acolades from its fans and the media. Looked like a sparse crowd on tv. I guess a beautiful day outside and NFL put the hurt'n on the attendance. I suspected we might see a flatfooted letdown of sorts with tired legs and a fresh opponent coming in. It seemed though the Oilers were a little rusty from the long layover and we did just enough to keep the game close and in control until the third. Another highlight reel goal by Max. It's becoming expected lately. Did anyone notice the hit on Kane against the boards? Turned out to amount to nothing in terms of injury, but that's two games in a row he turned his back to the opponent on the glass and had his face hit in an akward position. He needs to be a little more aware before he gets waffle housed….scattered, smothered, and covered.
Very happy to see Kozlov earn a solid 1st goal, and game winner to boot! What's the latest on Kubina's status? Just a few days of rest needed I hope…
November 15th, 2009
7:32 pm
Kubina did skate in warm ups.
November 15th, 2009
7:41 pm
Great news on the Thrashers victory. Was at our local rink watching my son's team win the Bantam level championship so missing the game was not a problem, but we were all following the game on my phone.
Congratulations to Slava getting off the island. And Bogo being the top scoring defenseman in the league.
I hope Waddell is reminding Kovy's agent that we are doing exactly what he asked.
November 15th, 2009
7:49 pm
Does this mean I have to say something nice about Max?
First Slater on Friday, now Max?
NO turnovers for Max today. I guess he must be reading this blog.
Popovic and Salmela do not get enough credit for their play. These guys show up the rink every night and play within their respective games.
November 15th, 2009
7:51 pm
Enjoyed the game from Twains in Decatur…Nice folks there.. Nice to see the team play like …. a team.
I hope the four days off is enough rest…
November 15th, 2009
7:53 pm
We were without tickets today, but decided to spint over to Twains during the 1st intermission to meet up with some other potential Thrasher fans, as we'd read that this was an intown spot to meet up with other fans. No hockey fans there – everyone was glued to the Falcon's game. So any intowners out there? Where's a spot (preferably with a good beer list and decent pub food) for us ITP'ers to go when ticketless? This would have been a good game to see with a crowd…
At least Direct TV (The 5th Axis of Evil) actually carried the game this time…
November 15th, 2009
8:01 pm
Really enjoyed the game. I think Slater had a good game. He played like he knows he better take advantage of any ice time he gets. I still think Kovy was a little slow out there today again. Maybe his foot is sore. Hopefully, with the rest, he will be back to 100%
Looking forward to Thurs and I will be watching center ice and rooting against all the other SE teams.
Go Thrashers!!!!!
November 15th, 2009
8:07 pm
Checking tsn site and those JEALIOUS canada fans are calling for us to move again, Hey "canada" so called "hockey fans", GET OVER IT, any country or network that would allow a drunken slob don cherry to be on tv, well you people have serious issues to deal with… so deal with them !
Shame the team had, what 3,500-4,000 in attendence, looked BAD !
November 15th, 2009
8:23 pm
LAC-it was a very disappointing showing from the fans today. Tough to compete with football. Best to leave the day games out until after football season.
As for the TSN idiots-blah, blah, blah, blah
November 15th, 2009
8:25 pm
Sorry to be right back, but these "On The Fly" guys are having a complete fit about how good the Thrashers are, a "complete" team said Craig Button and Larry Murphy, never a fan of us, has NICE comments about the "complete team effort" "Great team spped" WOW !!!!
Where is dave reid ? Have not seen him for awhile, wonder what nice things he would say and they had LOTS of Thrasher coverage again like friday night… Sorry all the empty seats show up though !
November 15th, 2009
8:30 pm
Squeaky Fromage – I think us ITP'ers should check out Diesel in Va. Highlands. I've driven by there before and seen a Thrashers banner hanging up as to invite everyone to watch the games there. They have a great patio with a huge flatscreen. I'm going to make some inquiries there and see what's up, if there into showing the road games and what not.
Glad there wasn't a letdown today! The Risk-Reward factor with Max is certainly favoring the Reward these days!
November 15th, 2009
8:31 pm
Yeah, I been drinkin'….so what? Check out my blog, maties! Arrrrgggh!
Thanks Bill you snazzy beast blogger!

If the club keeps up this play, which they should, the fans will start to show up after first college football ends, and then definitely once we get into late Jan.
I've got Peverly down as our MVP so far this year.
November 15th, 2009
8:37 pm
Kovy was wobbly. At some point he had his skate off on the bench – it wasn't clear if the problem was the foot or the skate. Kozzy will have to play better now. He was obviously forcing plays up to this scoring, a bad tripping penalty earlier in the game being a good example. And Hainsey needs to man-up – still way to soft for the guy his size.
November 15th, 2009
8:45 pm
JLH, you're right. Hainsey deserved better.
WBF, yes! You HAVE TO say something "nice" about Max. On second thought, this isn't Russia. Ya don't gotta do anything.
Schubert, Salmela, and Popovic were all "even" today on their plus-minus, for our blueliners, holding down the fort until Kubina returns. Toby Enstrom was a +1.
November 15th, 2009
8:51 pm
Kovy's problem was with the skate. Popped a rivet on the ice and had to be fixed.
November 15th, 2009
8:55 pm
Kovy looked a bit slow to me as well. I don't think he was 100% today so I'm happy we got the win without his contributions and now we get three days off. Rest up el Capitano!
But then again, I'm drunk so what do I know?
November 15th, 2009
8:56 pm
Full marks to the coaching staff for one of the most dramatic special teams turnarounds in our franchises history.
The PK has been without question the story of the season so far(next to HIs Holiness Peverley I)
Hopefully we start to see more walk up traffic for this team, they deserve it.
November 15th, 2009
9:09 pm
Well at least we know Smoothie's feeling good.
Watched from home on the Edmonton feed. They were very complimentary of the team throughout the broadcast. They brought up the low attendance but it was the strangest thing. Instead of picking on it, like Canadians seem wont to do, the announcers said they had asked around about it and brought up that this is the bible belt, which means a lot of families are at church and spending time with extended family. First time I've ever heard that one before.
Fact is, it was pretty close on the heels of church, it was a gorgeous day, the Falcons were playing at the same time … lots of reasons to not go to a hockey game at 2PM. And it will take time for the news to get out that Thrashers are a different team this year. They went through that bumpy stretch at home as well.
As Bob says, once the team gets past football season that will really help weekend attendance. Winning will help even more.
November 15th, 2009
9:37 pm
Well I'll be there next Sunday so no excuses from me. Anyone else gonna join in? It'll be my fourth game attended this season. Not bad for a non-STH if I do say so myself.
November 15th, 2009
9:52 pm
Hainsey is playing o.k. but he needs to start doing extra fore-arm curls to strengthen his wrister…and I don't mean the ones Kari's notorious for in Atlanta's Buckhead bars.
Kovy was definitely ginger today, but he wasn't a liability and his line played well for the most part. Antropov had a golden oppty to score but again looked for the extra pass back to Kovy before finally shooting…by then it was too late cuz Khabby was way too good for any kind of hesitation.
Kane is a wizard on the Penalty Kill and it is amazing how quick his stick is to pucks loose along the half-wall. Between the transformation of Thorburn, who's MMA training was extremely beneficial in the off-season, and Kane's natural quickness and inate sense of where the puck will go, we are quite the terror against which to play with an extra man.
Fannsi Anssi – played like a man possessed and with a chip on his shoulder today…I like the "sandpaper" edge he brings as long as he plays within himself like someone mentioned above. He has a knack for handling in traffic, but he just needs to remember to pick his spots…not that he made many poor decisions today.
Popovic was sick and has been playing phenomenal hockey for the last 3 or 4 games. His confidence is soaring and he really seems to have taken a stranglehold of the # 6 D-man spot. He's very physical for a "small" guy but hardly ever over-commits or gets out of position just to deliver a mind-scrambling hit like our old pal XLB. He's a deceptively good skater and knows when to move the puck out of harm's way before the forechecker has a chance to make a play. UNDERATED FOR SURE!!
November 15th, 2009
10:12 pm
Right, Sara, and showing some games on TV locally would help big time! SportsSouth had women's college volleyball today instead of Thrashers. No TV coverage of the LA bombardment on Friday night. Learn from the Braves – broadcast your games like crazy and it will bring some attention.
November 15th, 2009
11:33 pm
Aww shucks Bill, I has a blush!!
I'll try to make you proud Tilzy!

why don'they do all the games?
i think kovy's staying

Diesel sounds like the place -NYC. However we'll be at the game on Thursday…
November 16th, 2009
6:03 am
I watched the Falcons…during the 2 intermissions of my beloved THRASHERS!!!!!!! Stendec must be fuming over the Falcons loss. Get the Thrashers turned around, the Hawks are in first and now the Falcons are fading a little.
November 16th, 2009
7:43 am
Ben – you'd have to ask SportSouth why they don't broadcast all the games. There is no question the organization is frustrated by the lack of TV coverage – Don made a sarcastic comment about the lack of TV during the THM Friday night. Fact is though, I've seen reports that the TV ratings for the Thrashers are rather dismal. I imagine that's partially due to the market, partially due to a lack of on-ice success. Yesterday it was women's volleyball but often it's college football airing on SS instead of the Thrashers and that's the reality in the South. It's just like attendance – if the team is playing well, more people will be interested in both attending and watching from home. Once football season is over, same thing.
The plus is the coverage will be really strong during the back half of the season when playoff races are on. The biggest negative to me is not televising away games.
And the ultimate FAIL belongs to the NHL itself for not finding a way to coordinate better amongst all carriers – there should never ever ever be a game that is not being broadcast by someone. They need to grow a pair when it comes to Vs and also CBC in Canada – neither network should ever get the exclusivity rights that they do – pick one game that you are going to broadcast on a given night and let someone else step in to broadcast the others. That's how we ended up with zero coverage for the Ottawa game IIRC – HNIC has exclusive rights to all games involving Canadian teams on Saturdays and whichever ones they don't broadcast themselves are dark for everyone else. I shell out $160 for Center Ice for two primary reasons – the first being I want access to every Thrasher game and second I want to be able to follow the Wings. Being able to watch hockey whenever I'm in the mood is a plus too. But to shell out that money and still not be able to see 82 Thrashers games peeves me off.
November 16th, 2009
7:43 am
Brendan, you are correct, this isn't Russia. But Max probably played his best game as a Thrasher. No turnovers, a good all around game and a great goal to tie the contest last in the 2nd period. Safe to say that goal was huge.
Jimmy's playing well too, the fourth line provided the energy during periods of the game that lacked energy.
How bout Evander Kane. John Anderson has so much confidence in the kid, he puts him on the ice during the last minute of the game while Edmonton had their goalie out for a 6th attacker. That's how you develop a young player, show confidence in him during crucial moments.
Congrats for Slava for the big goal. He played great.
November 16th, 2009
7:55 am
Rawhide- Love "Schnide Island". My prediction is that Skates who has absolutely "no hands" will be the last off the island. The only way that he gets in is if an opposing player inadvertently kicks in one of his shots. Can't believe that more fans aren't realizing that these guys have picked up where they left off at the end of last season and are playing an exciting type of hockey- a little loose at times but fast paced, up tempo.
November 16th, 2009
8:10 am
Right Sara, I do not understand why no more games… I, for one, could give a crap about hawks and any college sports… But that's my call,
know many others just love that womens volleyball junk, I'd rather watch reruns of The Weather Channel showing sunny skies, than junk like that !
November 16th, 2009
8:11 am
Really feared a let down with the EDM game…just one more attribute this team is showing – being able to win those games in years past where the lack of depth would have meant a 4-1 loss.
And now hopefully this is the start of getting contributions from Kozlov. If scoring can come consistently from 3 lines, plus the D things are looking up.
Sunday attendance is affected by all those things, NFL, church, and nice weather. It probably can't be helped, but scheduling Sunday afternoon games before late Dec/Jan is not a real bright idea.
November 16th, 2009
8:16 am
I was there, and I thought the announced attendance was pretty close to accurate…we were all guessing about 12K amongst ourselves. I thought we brought the A game in the 1st and 3rd, but the Oil really dominated the second. If not for Moose and some smart plays by the D, it could have been worse. Overall, we were the much better team. Edmonton has to know that getting out of the 1st only one down was pure luck on their part.
November 16th, 2009
8:20 am
It was a great game to watch, but I have one question: I wonder how our Russian players (including the Captain) liked the Herb Brooks bit in the third period? Struck me as slightly tone deaf.
November 16th, 2009
8:47 am
The game yesterday was really fun to watch. Although we need more fans in the seats, I am sure it won't be long before more attend. Friday night's crowd numbers were encouraging. I am not a big Hainsey fan, but I have to say, he really played well yesterday. Sitting up close, I saw a lot of little things he did well. Slava seemed very happy during his first star interview to have the monkey of his first regulation goal off his back.
November 16th, 2009
8:49 am
Riceowls – they've shown it once before and I have wondered the same thing.
November 16th, 2009

It's some kid up in Nashville…he's been on YouTube for months.
November 16th, 2009
9:05 am
Another thing that irks me is ALL the local sports on tv NEVER say a word about hockey and when they do it's a thirty second spot to let you know that HEY- Atlanta does have a hockey team. If they would let people know that hockey is a sport in Atlanta, and a pretty good team to boot it would show the media does support the Thrashers. I'll show my support and i hope others will too.
November 16th, 2009
9:37 am
Another great game from Max. I've made this comment before about Max, but as the season, and Max's game, progress I have to ask it again. Who commits more turnovers, Max or Kovy. I love Kovy, but I say it is clearly Kovy.
EOB – I hear you about Max, but I don't see it this year the way you describe it. And I would love to see turnover #s for Kovy. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that his turnover/mins played is one of the highest on the team. I never see anyone rant about this. Granted, Kovy handles the puck more than anyone on the team, and that's the way we like it (uh huh, uh huh), but he is often simply too loose with the puck, and rarely seems to gets criticized for it! Perhaps my definition of a turnover is different than official stats, but any time a player gives up the puck to the other team, other than by a shot or dump in, I consider it a turnover.
November 16th, 2009
9:38 am
Local TV-I totally agree.
Also, I believe management has to address the issue with local media.
Even the local "sports" stations have a tough time walking hockey.
November 16th, 2009
9:39 am
I bet our Russian players are amused by the Herb Brooks spoof. How can u not enjoy that little kid's rousing exhortation to "screw 'em??" The Perestroika line just wants to play hockey and get to the playoffs. Our admiration is just the icing on the proverbial cake.
November 16th, 2009
9:54 am
The Midway in East Atlanta is a great place to watch the games… there may not be too many fans on a given night, but the ones that are there are knowledgable and know the game. Good times. Something like 10 flat screens in the bar and Thrashers are always on.

To many fans, European professional cycling is broken down and defined by seasons, most centered on an important event or series. May has the Tour of Italy. July means it must be time for the Tour de France. And August brings the Tour of Spain.
While many of us spend the winter months dreaming of longer days, sunshine, smooth roads, and warm temperatures, a special breed of cyclist yearns for gray skies, rough roads, and, yes, cold. These riders spend their winters targeting the first few months of the season and a series of legendary races, many with hard-to-pronounce names, known as the Spring Classics.
So with spring so close, there's no better time to tell you everything you need to know about these fantastic, dramatic, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat races.—Whit Yost
Nickname: 3 Days of Pain
How to Say It: "drrree dahgsa von duh-ponna"
After the E3 and Ghent-Wevelgem, those procrastinators who still need to put the finishing touches on their form for the Tour of Flanders can head to the mid-week Three Days of De Panne to grab some last-minute kilometers. A race often marred by nervous crashes and bad weather, it's also known by many as the "3 Days of Pain." First organized in 1977, this three-day four-stage event offers a little something for everyone.
Tuesday's Stage 1 gives one last opportunity for the Flanders hopefuls to test their legs on several of the bergs they'll see Sunday. The most difficult day of the race, the overall winner usually comes from one of the first two groups to finish the stage. Stage 2 heads to the coast and almost always ends in a field sprint, making De Panne a popular choice for many of the riders who competed in the previous Sunday's Ghent-Wevelgem—it even climbs over the Kemmelberg just for old time's sake.
Thursday offers a split stage: The relatively short, flat Stage 3a gives sprinters one more chance for glory, while Stage 3b's individual time trial is the final showdown for those still in contention for the race's overall title. Garmin-Cervélo's's David Millar won De Panne last year after making the break on Stage 1 and winning the time trial on Stage 3b, his first stage race victory since 2001.

Battling Breast Milk Leakage: What You Can Do
What can I do to prevent or manage leakage?
Whether or not a new mother initiates breastfeeding, her body will begin producing milk soon after delivery. Breast milk leakage can be uncomfortable and embarrassing for women who don't know how to curb the problem. Fortunately, there are simple ways to alleviate discomfort:
- Understand Your Letdown Reflex: The natural release of breast milk from the nipple is a reflexive response reflex in lactating women. This letdown reflex can be triggered by any number of things, from the sound of a baby crying, to looking at a picture of your little one, to going long periods between nursing. Whatever the case, you can try to pinpoint this reflex. Most women feel a tingling sensation in their nipples directly before the letdown.
- Stay on a Feeding/Pumping Schedule: Sticking to an established feeding/pumping schedule is helpful for both you and your baby. If you need to break from your schedule and feel the milk ejection reflex but can't feed or pump, applying slight pressure against your breasts (such as tightly crossing your arms or holding a book against your breasts) can help stop the breasts from leaking.
- Wear Disposable/Reusable Nursing Pads: You can find a variety of disposable and reusable (washable cotton) pads at drugstores and supermarkets. These handy products tuck easily into your bra to absorb milk leaked between feedings. Avoid pads with plastic liners which can trap moisture against your skin and lead to sore nipples. Also, pack extra pads in your purse and change pads frequently to keep your nipples clean and prevent infection.
- Wear Patterned Tops: Shying away from solid-colored tops is a wise idea if you experience leakage. Leaks are much more noticeable on solid-colored fabrics.
- Pack a T-shirt: Carry an extra shirt in your diaper bag or purse in case a leak soaks a pad and wets your shirt.
- Wear Nursing Pads to Bed: If your breasts leak at night, consider wearing a comfortable bra and nursing pads to bed. You can also look for T-shirts or tank tops with built in bras and tuck nursing pads into the fitted material close to your breasts. And if you discover that you leak during intimate moments, look for nursing negligees or camisoles with support in the bust (for slipping in nursing pads). These can be found everywhere from Amazon.com to Victoria's Secret and will help you feel both more comfortable and sexy.
- Be Positive: Although breast milk leakage is a sometimes embarrassing problem, don't let it get to you! Stress can lead to decreased milk production, so stay positive, laugh it off, and remember that this is only temporary.
As time goes by, chances are you will leak less often or even not at all. Don't worry! This doesn't mean that you are losing your milk, but rather your body is finally regulating milk production.

ACTH Gel (Repository Corticotropin Injection)
DESCRIPTIONACTH gel (repository corticotropin injection) is a purified sterile preparation of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in gelatin to provide a prolonged release after intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. ACTH works by stimulating the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol, corticosterone, and a number of other hormones.
According to the 2010 product information (product labeling), repository corticotropin injection may be used in the treatment of the following conditions:
Contraindications for use of this agent include scleroderma, osteoporosis, systemic fungal infections, ocular herpes simplex, recent surgery, history of or the presence of a peptic ulcer, congestive heart failure, hypertension, or sensitivity to proteins of porcine origin.
West Syndrome/Infantile Spasms
In December 2008, Questcor resubmitted a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for H.P. Acthar gel (repository corticotrophin) injection to the FDA for treating infantile spasms. Approval was granted in October 2010.
Alternative Treatments for Infantile Spasms
Synthetic ACTH
POLICYRepository corticotropin injection may be considered medically necessary for treatment of infantile spasms.
Repository corticotropin injection is considered not medically necessary for use in diagnostic testing of adrenocortical function.
Use of repository corticotropin injection is considered not medically necessary as treatment of corticosteroid-responsive conditions, unless there are medical contraindications or intolerance to corticosteroids that are not also expected to occur with use of repository corticotropin injection.
Except as noted above, use of repository corticotropin injection is considered investigational for conditions that are not responsive to corticosteroid therapy including, but not limited to, use in tobacco cessation, acute gout, and childhood epilepsy.
POLICY EXCEPTIONSFederal Employee Program (FEP) may dictate that all FDA-approved devices, drugs or biologics may not be considered investigational and thus these devices may be assessed only on the basis of their medical necessity.
POLICY GUIDELINESInvestigative service is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized by certifying boards and/or approving or licensing agencies or published peer review criteria as standard, effective medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and as such therefore is not considered medically necessary.

The Federal Acquisition Institute's latest report shows a workforce in transition
In fact, the number of contracting officers shrank from a high of 31,794 in fiscal 1992 to a low of 26,608 in fiscal 2001.
Agencies have been trying to rebuild the workforce, but despite having added about 3,000 contracting officers since 2001, the 2008 total of 29,707 is still well below the number of contracting officers in 1992.
That's the broad view. Now here's a look at who those people are.

The stretch of railroad between Canton and Grenada is in danger of being shut down permanently and the state of Mississippi is trying to keep that from happening. The railroad hasn't been used, on a regular basis and the company that owns it, Grenada Railway, says it would be too expensive to repair and return to service.
Amtrak last used the old rails on a regular schedule in 1995. Grenada railway bought them from Canadian National and has now filed for permission from the U. S. Surface Transportation Board to shut them down permanently.
Tuesday, the Mississippi Transportation Board voted unanimously to send a letter to the Surface Transportation Board, asking for a delay in the abandonment procedure until the Mississippi Legislature, now in session, could have a chance to look at the issue.
Little towns like West would not have much of a chance for future economic development if the railroad is abandoned.
Grenada railway says there are too many old bridges that would have to be repaired to reopen the line.

A word from Dakota's Steakhouse
What's better than a fine, aged wine? How about a fine, aged steakhouse that serves prime aged steaks. Where would one find such a unique combination? Located below the sidewalks of downtown Dallas at the 29 year Dallas icon, Dakota's Steakhouse.Continued
Sit back and take in the many decorative nuances that make Dakota's still one of the most romantic spots in Dallas. Outside the restaurant, the multi-level waterfall, draping foliage and black granite patio bar make dining outdoors a delight. Inside the restaurant, the New Orleans lamps and imported marble floors neatly package the classic theme.

The atmosphere was elegant and with a piano player in the background. Very clean. Food is top. Had the Calamari appetizer, then wife and I split 14oz Rib-eye, side of the wild mushrooms, and ordered the sea scallops for our son. Plenty. Nothing to complain about. Stayed at the Fairmont 100 yrds away. Yes took our nine year old son with us. Waiter was very attentive to him too. Not too expensive in my opinion.

text: Posted Online: Feb. 05, 2013, 11:29 pm Atkinson Landfill Co. works to develop new disposal contract with trustees Comment on this story By Claudia Loucks, firstname.lastname@example.com ATKINSON – Village trustees are working on a new contract with the Atkinson Landfill Co. for leachate disposal. The landfill, owned by Branko Vardijan, Chicago, wants a permit to dispose of leachate -- liquid discharged from the landfill -- at the water/waste treatment plant at the northwest corner of Atkinson. Currently the leachate from the landfill is not disposed in Atkinson. The board agreed to look into renegotiating the contract to include disposal of the leachate. AtkinsonMayor August Junior said the agreement between the village and the Atkinson Landfill Co. "is pretty outdated, and we need to bring it up to date." Although no action was taken, a trustee asked if there is any vacant village-owned property that could be gifted to a Geneseo church, which would then build a house to be used for the care of foster children. Details of the request were not given. In other business, the village board learned it may have a renter for the music room at the former Atkinson Grade School.The Regional Office of Education rents three large rooms in the building and is interested in an additional room for testing, if the village will install adequate heating and cooling for the room that will house computers. Board members agreed to research the options to make the room sufficient for ROE needs.

Monday, October 28, 2013 there is an opportunity for an in-depth look at the major topics relating to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Workplace Inclusion. The Leadership Seminars provide a full day intensive into the topics listed below. Classes are held at the Minneapolis Convention Center from 9:00am to 5:00pm, and breakfast and lunch are included. There is a separate registration fee for these seminars (see rate sheet for details). Join us for this opportunity to network and expand your knowledge!
UPDATE: The 2013 Out & Equal Workplace Summit now qualifies as Office of Personnel Management (OPM) training in compliance with 5 U.S.C. chapter 41 and is open to all federal employees.
The Summit has also been submitted to the Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI) for 16.0 (General, Strategic and International) recertification credit hours toward HR Professionals in PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification. We will have complete information at the Summit. If you need more information now about certification or recertification, please visit the HR Certification Institute website at www.hrci.org.
Confirmed Leadership Seminars include:
You have policies. You created an Employee Resource Group. What's next? Most companies want to expand the discussion around sexual orientation and gender identity in the workplace, and this course provides the tools! Taking the business case materials used in our national training, this course prepares employees to teach in their workplace as trainers for Out & Equal. Certification is good for two years and includes links to the Trainer's Network and monthly Trainer's Forum as well as the most recent updates on LGBT workplace issues.
Out & Equal uses the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Diversity Leadership training program to break down barriers and foster communication between LGBT and employees and their co-workers. Employees, diversity and affinity group leaders, and human resources professionals can be certified to present the 60-90 minute LGBT Diversity Leadership discussions in the workplace through the Train the Trainer (TTT) course. The course is designed to help trainers increase participation and performance among LGBT employees and their coworkers by creating a more comfortable atmosphere within which to work. This training fosters alliances between LGBT and straight employees by opening communication and developing a healthier workplace. A customizable slide deck provided by Out & Equal and membership with the Out & Equal Trainer's network provide continued support after the course. Graduates will receive course materials and are approved to do presentations during 60-90 minute discussion groups or diversity groups in their workplace. Many of our trainers become more involved and assist Out & Equal certified staff to present trainings including Building Bridges and Train the Trainer at other locations. Certification to teach the LGBT Diversity class is good for two years from course completion.
The Train the Trainer course will cover an introduction to being an Out & Equal trainer, the history, mission, scope of Out & Equal and review the LGBT Diversity Leadership slide deck.
Equality in the workplace based on Gender Identity has emerged as a major focus for companies in all sectors and around the world. If you get transgender-inclusive benefits points on the Corporate Equality Index, is that all your company needs to do? If you identify as transgender, does that mean you will need to use the company transition plan or are you just changing your name and pronoun preference? If your ERG is working to be trans-inclusive, what are the best practices and what are some step by step ways to reach your inclusion goals? Finally, how might you handle basic gender-identity-related workplace situations that face HR professionals, managers, allies and LGBT employees? This course offers conversation with gender identity experts to assist you in developing a strong knowledge base for successful workplace gender identity advocacy. Regardless of your current level of knowledge or where your organization is on the path to inclusion, you will benefit from this course.
What are the issues? What are the metrics?
The basis for Transgender Advocacy work—Hear from advocates who are working in the field around gender identity issues. Understand the metrics with an overview of the research in "Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey" and understand the current trends from legal and community perspectives.
How Gender Identity Intersects with LGB Workplace Advocacy—Discovering the history and development of the theory around gender identity and bringing in the global perspective of World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care and the situation around the world for transgender individuals.
Workplace Gender Identity Advocacy—Address the best practices and how to get there from here! Look at the major workplace issues facing transgender employees and the companies for which they work. These are the nuts & bolts of employment practice (policies & procedures and how to build and expand them). Discuss transition planning, transgender health benefits, self-identification work and more on how to manage the workplace.
Culturally Trans Competent Allies—Discuss what it takes to build allies in the workplace, and how to create awareness and engage members of the LGB community. Build coalitions with other Employee Resource Groups and community organizations
This session for ally engagement and empowerment will include a specific focus for developing a stronger, more vibrant ally engagement program in your workplace. Participants will leave not only with cultural competency but also with concrete steps that can be integrated in your workplace. We will examine the basic language of LGBT inclusion that allies need, the challenges of being out in the workplace, marriage equality and corporate allies, transgender inclusion, ally engagement across the ERGs, roadblocks to ally engagement, and action planning for changing workplace culture.
How can an understanding about White social identity assist in addressing LGBT issues in workplace settings? In this course we will examine the intersection of race and ethnicity with sexual orientation and gender identity. Some LGBT employees may be unconscious of the privilege they carry even as members of a targeted group. Unintentional and unacknowledged privilege can result in behavior that marginalizes others and persistent attention to majority group concerns in the workplace may alienate minority groups and fragment the community. By working on diversity issues within the LGBT community we strengthen our teams and organizations. Attention to this topic can lead to increased participation in Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and aid in recruitment and retention helping to create a more inclusive and effective workplace.
Of benefit to managers, ERG leaders, and Human Resources personnel, this course will interest anyone seeking to improve the diversity and inclusion of their organization. This webinar uses content from the popular Out & Equal Summit workshop of the same title to reach a larger audience. We will present useful information, engage with you in discussion, conduct a number of instant polls on key questions, and even conduct some experiential activity.
Religion and LGBT issues are often challenging and complex, especially in the workplace. However, many organizations are beginning the process of integrating religion and LGBT issues in respectful and inclusive ways. In this interactive workshop you'll have a chance to explore your personal journey with faith and sexual orientation and gender identity, and prepare yourself to be an effective advocate. You will learn about changing attitudes and beliefs among people of faith regarding LGBT issues. We will present recent research on the journey people of faith may take from anti-gay to pro-gay, focusing on Christianity, along with Muslim and Jewish perspectives, examining the motivations and barriers to becoming allies. You'll also have an opportunity to discuss best practices and tools in managing diversity and inclusion at the intersection of faith/religion and LGBT issues in the workplace.
The potential of employee resource groups to advance workplace equality for all is a powerful resource for employees, business, and community. While the progression of ERG's from simple, self-contained affinity groups to influential, partner resources can be a journey of some challenges, the rewards can be great, unlocking unlimited possibilities for real and sustainable impact that reaches a wider variety of constituencies. In this interactive and engaging seminar, we will explore what it takes to empower and propel your employee resource group towards continuously improving and increasing the impact of your initiatives, with measurable, demonstrated results and success.
For questions regarding 2013 Workplace Summit Leadership Seminars, please contact Director of Training & Professional Development, Pat Baillie, at 415.694.6521 or email@example.com.

Rethinking Urban Density: 10 Backyard Cottages
In many cities, growing populations are putting a stress on existing housing options. Instead of building new condos and apartments, one creative solution is to increase the density of existing single-family neighborhoods by allowing "backyard cottages." These small dwelling units can be rented out for supplemental income or serve as a living space for extended family. (Some homeowners are even deciding to downsize to the cottage and rent out the primary home!) Cities like Seattle have recently changed their zoning code to allow these detached accessory dwelling units (nicknamed "DADU's") and local architects and homeowners have been eager to explore the possibilities. See 10 examples from Seattle and beyond after the jump!
In addition to the their small size and urban settings, many of these examples also boast sustainable features like rainwater catchment, super insulation and the use of simple and durable materials.
Top Row:
1 This modern red box in the Central District of Seattle was one of the first backyard cottages to make big waves. Built in the backyard of a rental property, this creative solution proved to be an affordable housing option in an otherwise expensive city (via Dwell).
2 A modern and bright 450 square foot, 2-story loft by Regeneration Design is an extension of an existing 1920's garage in the Rainier Beach neighborhood of Seattle.
3 A prototype by Seattle architecture firm Bjarko Serra, this modern home with a butterfly roof is designed with many sustainable features.
4 A pre-fab option by Michigan architect Michael Fitzhugh, this cottage is constructed of structural insulated panels (SIPs) for a super efficient building envelope.
5 The L2Q studio by Seattle architect Peter Cohan has a cantilevered upper story, creating a carport below and is designed to be constructed at less than $125/SF.
Bottom Row:
6 The Backyard House from SHED, a Seattle-based architecture firm, is small in size but without the cottage aesthetic.
7 The Readymade backyard cottage is a great example of how modular units can be arranged to create usable outdoor living spaces (via Sunset Magazine).
8 Designed as a retirement home for a couple who decided to rent out their primary residence, this home is designed to compliment the character of the existing home and will feature a rainwater catchment system (via CAST architecture).
9 The Microhouse is an "eco-cottage" designed with affordability in mind. (Plans are also available for purchase.)
10 Designed by San Francisco-based architect Christi Azevedo, an old 1908 carriage house was renovated into a stunning residence (via Dwell).

In Milwaukee these are called "rear-houses" and they're absolutely common.
Check out Austin's Alley Flat Initiative - small, friendly, texas design.
LBro, so funny to run into you in the internet blog world! I was also going to plug for the Alley Flat Initiative when I read this post too!
Not only are the Alley flats pretty nice to look at, but they can also serve a social cause as well; by providing low income housing (the rental income is used to offset the homeowners mortgage) while increasing urban density.
@LBro and Lauren AK - super cool, thanks for sharing! I love that they're called something different (backyard cottages, rear houses, alley flats, etc.) depending on where you live!
These are good as for comparing to apartments and condos, these backyard cottages are more affordable.
Sarti's house (#1) is probably my favorite house I've ever seen in magazines or websites. His use of the half-property along with his use of simple materials on the interior just sold this for me. I want one for myself!
Love it! Someone is building one of these behind a house in my aunt's McMansion neighborhood much to my surprise and delight. Although I must say there was probably enough room in the house to house four families.
We used to call them mother in law cottages.
I live in Seattle and need to find out what my options are regarding tearing down my 1 car garage and building something better with more space.
We have lots of these in my turn of the century urban neighborhood, called carriage houses. Some of them are really lovely. I like the idea of building new ones in suburbia.
Microhouse in the article is in Washington State and do work in the local Seattle area. There are also plenty of prefab cottage companies in Seattle/Washington/Portland areas. Do a google search for 'prefab cottage'.
In Vancouver, BC we call them coach houses or laneway houses.
DahliaCactus - I'm with you. We have a falling down detached garage - but will still need a garage here in Minneapolis - but would love more living space and prefab/modern. Any ideas/links out there for garage/living space/creative solutions?
jkmp - ventura village (the neighborhood) in Minneapolis has a carriage house program. I haven't seen them in person, but they have several different plans available. I think they're supposed to be cheap, green, and meet Minneapolis code (although you'd need to get approval if you're not living in parts of the city already zoned to allow them, but from what the city people told me it didn't sound like that was a big deal.) It's not prefab, but it could be a good starting point.
oops, my comment sounded a little garbled. I meant that I have not seen the carriage houses or the plans in person, but Ventura Village Neighborhood Association has plans available to the public. The city is very supportive of the program as a way to boost housing options and because it offers "eyes on the street," or in this case, alley. Minneapolis won't allow you to replace parking spots with housing, so these presumably do include an actual garage in addition to living space.
On Maui, this is very common and is usually referred to as an ohana informally but as an accessory dwelling in the building code. My neighborhood has 1/2 acre lots so just about every house has one. Used for extended family living, rentals or bed & breakfast. Is a godsend for many families as the cost of land is so high here. Or in some cases, someone will buy the land, build a cottage and live in it, years down the road, they will then build the main larger house when they can afford it.
The PNA holds backyard cottage classes: phinneycenter.org. Old garages are often beyond the build-able limits, so you have to renovate, not teardown.
Also see www.minibpassivehouse.com, small and very efficient!
DahliaCactus - you do have some great options. backyard cottages in seattle can be up to 800sf of area. i did one recently for family of four - it had three bedrooms and two baths!
