Reducing Premature Infants' Length of Stay and Improving Parents' Mental Health Outcomes With the Creating Opportunities for Parent Empowerment (COPE) Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Program: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
ABSTRACT Although low birth weight premature infants and parents are at high risk for adverse health outcomes, there is a paucity of studies that test early NICU interventions with parents to prevent the development of negative parent-infant interaction trajectories and to reduce hospital length of stay. Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of an educational-behavioral intervention program (ie, Creating Opportunities for Parent Empowerment) that was designed to enhance parent-infant interactions and parent mental health outcomes for the ultimate purpose of improving child developmental and behavior outcomes.
A randomized, controlled trial was conducted with 260 families with preterm infants from 2001 to 2004 in 2 NICUs in the northeast United States. Parents completed self-administered instruments during hospitalization, within 7 days after infant discharge, and at 2 months' corrected age. Blinded observers rated parent-infant interactions in the NICU.
All participants received 4 intervention sessions of audiotaped and written materials. Parents in the Creating Opportunities for Parent Empowerment program received information and behavioral activities about the appearance and behavioral characteristics of preterm infants and how best to parent them. The comparison intervention contained information regarding hospital services and policies.
Parental stress, depression, anxiety, and beliefs; parent-infant interaction during the NICU stay; NICU length of stay; and total hospitalization were measured.
Mothers in the Creating Opportunities for Parent Empowerment program reported significantly less stress in the NICU and less depression and anxiety at 2 months' corrected infant age than did comparison mothers. Blinded observers rated mothers and fathers in the Creating Opportunities for Parent Empowerment program as more positive in interactions with their infants. Mothers and fathers also reported stronger beliefs about their parental role and what behaviors and characteristics to expect of their infants during hospitalization. Infants in the Creating Opportunities for Parent Empowerment program had a 3.8-day shorter NICU length of stay (mean: 31.86 vs 35.63 days) and 3.9-day shorter total hospital length of stay (mean: 35.29 vs 39.19 days) than did comparison infants.
A reproducible educational-behavioral intervention program for parents that commences early in the NICU can improve parent mental health outcomes, enhance parent-infant interaction, and reduce hospital length of stay.

This group differs from the COPE model (Melnyk et al., 2006) as it is given in a faceto-face method. The group also differs from the Avon Premature Infant Project (APIP, 1998) conducted in Bristol in the UK. "
Article: Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology Mothers' experiences of the NICU and a NICU support group programme[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aim – to understand both the parental experience of the NICU and the mothers' view of a NICU Parent Support Group Background - Mothers of babies who are born premature have their first experiences of parenting while their infant is in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This presents multiple challenges and a range of stresses related to their role as a mother and concerns about their baby's survival and growth. Thus, various supportive interventions have been trialled with this NICU parent population. However the focus of this support and how it should be delivered lacks research as an evidence base for practice. Mothers' experiences of the NICU and a professionally facilitated NICU support group at a city hospital were explored in this qualitative research study. Method - Nine mothers in 2010 were interviewed while their babies were NICU inpatients. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically. Results - The NICU admission resulted in parents facing challenges in getting to know their baby, forming their parenting role while in the NICU, and a reliance upon, but resentment toward, nursing staff. Positive feelings about their baby's strengths were also apparent. The parent support group was an important part of managing the experience of the NICU and was reported to meet the emotional support needs of these NICU parents. Conclusion - The implications and recommendations for NICU based emotional support are discussed. In particular modifications to support group structures to ensure professional staff involvement and a balance between education and emotional care are reviewed.Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology 03/2015; DOI:10.1080/02646838.2014.998184 · 0.67 Impact Factor
- "Early inclusion of the parents became an essential part of medical care of preterm infants [23] [24] [25] because early positive experience of parent–child interaction is the foundation for optimal neurodevelopment and may reduce the need of subsequent hospitalization [26] [27]. Studies suggest that the effect of early parental interaction can be even improved by add-on programs, which focus on specific parental education to enhance the recognition of an infant's subtle signs, and toward being receptive for their limited capacity to respond to stress by giving comprehensive tutorials by specially trained staff [28] [29] [30] [31]. "
Article: Influences of a dedicated parental training program on parent–child interaction in preterm infants[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate influences on the interaction between preterm infants and their parents by a dedicated parental training program on the care of preterm infants. Standardized scenarios of mother-child interactions (50 mother-child dyads of very low birth weight infants (VLBWI), birth weight<1500g) were videotaped in two perinatal centers (PC-A, PC-B). The videos were reviewed and scored using a standardized instrument. In both centers, parents were integrated in the daily care by pediatric nurses, while additionally PC-A had a structured parental training program. PC-A and PC-B were comparable regarding patient spectrum and number of admissions of VLBWIs/year. Both centers had similar care values with respect to the "baby friendly" initiative. No significant differences were seen in characteristics of patients (gestational age, birth weight, postnatal age) and mothers (age, parity, marital status, professions). However, in scoring the mother-child interactions significant differences were observed: In contrast to PC-B the recorded behavior in mother-child dyads of PC-A was significantly more often scored as interaction-oriented. A dedicated, structured, and actively encouraging training program for parents of preterm infants was found to be more strongly correlated toward neurodevelopmental enhancing mother-child-interactions than an approach of merely integrating parents into daily care routine.

- "However, despite existing evidence for including parents in early intervention there is a paucity of research on parenting interventions, interventions that focus on improvements in generalisable parenting skills, for parents of infants born very preterm. A randomised, controlled trial (RCT) with 260 families of infants born preterm (\34 weeks gestation) demonstrated the effectiveness of an educational program delivered via audiotapes and written materials in decreasing parental stress and improving parent-infant interaction (Melnyk et al. 2006). In addition, the mother-infant transaction programme has recently been found to improve maternal responsivity, mother-infant interactions and infant regulation in a cohort of 68 families of preterm infants (Newnham et al. 2009).

Article: Erratum to: Parenting and Prematurity: Understanding Parent Experience and Preferences for Support[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Infants born very preterm are at risk of developmental and behavioural problems and their parents are at risk of psychological distress and compromised parenting. This study has two key aims: (1) to identify, from the parents' own perspective, the unique aspects of parenting an infant born very preterm and (2) to assess parent preferences for support including opinions of a new, tailored parenting intervention, Prem Baby Positive Parenting Program (Triple P). A qualitative approach was taken with focus groups of 18 parents of infants born preterm and a thematic analysis conducted. Parents identified several unique aspects of parenting an infant born preterm including: difficulty coping with the stress of hospitalisation; institutionalisation to the hospital environment; a lack of preparation for the transition to parenthood; grief; isolation; getting into "bad parenting habits" of overnurturance and a lack of certainty about developmental expectations. Parents preferred parenting support that is tailored to parents of infants born preterm, has flexible delivery, enhances coping skills and the spousal relationship and is sensitive to the emotional context of parenting an infant born preterm. Understanding the experiences and the preferences of parents of infants born preterm is an important step in tailoring parenting interventions to fit their needs.Journal of Child and Family Studies 08/2014; 24(5).

One full 750 ml bottle and an additional third of a bottle make 1 liter of liquid. One liter equals 1,000 ml, or milliliters.Know More
A 750 ml bottle is equivalent to three-quarters of a liter, or 0.75 liters. A liter is the base unit for measuring volume in the metric system and is a little more than a quart in U.S. measurements. Since an ounce of liquid is equal to approximately 30 milliliters, a 750 ml bottle is comparable to a little more than 25 fluid ounces, approximately 1 pint, and a little more than 3 standard cups. One standard cup equals approximately 200 ml.Learn more about Measurements
One liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters. In the metric system, the prefix "milli-" is used before basic units, such as liter, gram and meter, to indicate that the measurement is one-thousandth of that basic unit.Full Answer >
Approximately 25.36 fluid ounces equals 750 milliliters. Since 1 fluid ounce equals 29.57 milliliters, converting 750 milliliters to ounces requires dividing it by 29.57 milliliters per ounce. An alternative is to multiply 750 milliliters by 0.03 ounces per milliliter.Full Answer >

Don't worry too much about that. Sounds like you're still in high school (hence, the getting out of town) and you'll find out in college, grades don't matter in HS as much as they do in college. Then when you graduate from college, you'll realize the same thing after you start working. BUT that being said, good grades do help you get into the school you want (not necessarily the best school since that might not be what you want) and help you get the job you want (again, not necessarily the more prestigious since that might not be what you want). Make sure you're well-rounded (activities, groups, etc) and you'll do fine. But seek help if you need it.. there's nothing wrong with getting help when it's offered. Especially since you may live through a period where you can't get the help you need (college can be tough).

My last 5 or so batches I have been washing and repitching yeast. Assuming I keep making medium gravity beers, can I keep repitching from the original strain or is there a point where I should start with a new strain? So far I have no off flavored from the repitch.

It depends on how careful you are about sanitation. I buy a vial of yeast that I use frequently about once every 6 months. I use that vial to make a starter and brew a single batch with it. When it's finished, I harvest the yeast, which gives me enough for another 4 batches. I harvest the yeast for those other 4 batches, which gives me enough yeast for another 16 batches. I never go beyond 3 generations nowadays, and have never had any problems. Back in the 1980's when I lived in California, I used to harvest yeast from a naturally conditioned English beer, and I would go way beyond 3 generations because the round trip air fare from LA to England was rather expensive for a 6 pack of beer, or the yeast to make another batch. Even so, I only once had a problem with mutated yeast after about 4 or 5 generations.
There are only 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

I heard JZ say on the brewing network that he doesn't go beyond 6th generation.

If you are rinsing yeast properly, with the most sanitary conditions possible, there is almost no limit to the number of times you can reptich yeast. Genetic mutations are fairly rare, and even more rarely do these mutation not result in cell termination. Some scientific studies have shown that after several hundred repitches in a commercial brewery, that the yeast slurry was still identical to the original strain.
When I say properly rinsing, I mean that you are not causing a 'selection' on the type of yeast in the slurry by your process. This is by far more detrimental to yeast characteristics than the remote chance of a genetic mutation. For instance, if you select yeast off the bottom before fermentation is done, you are likely selection for a yeast with a higher flocculation than the original yeast strain as a whole. In just a few generations of this selection, you will eliminate the average and low flocculent yeast cells and only have the high flocculent yeast cell left. The opposite would be true if you only harvest from secondary, where only the least flocculent cells will remain from your selection.
You want to make sure you are selecting the largest sample possible (like the whole cake after cold crashing) in order to encompass the largest span of variability within the yeast strain. When you let the slurry settle out, as soon as you see some separation pull the top clear layer off and discard, and pull the yeast layer off the hops and break material. This will help minimize selection pressures by not allowing highly flocculent yeast to settle out before the next step.
Bacterial or yeast contamination is another issue. I minimize this by sterilizing all my flasks, jars, water, funnel, wort and anything else I can in a pressure canner. I also do all my transferring in a close room, with no vents, and I spray a lot of the bench/table down with 70% EtOH. There will always be some bacteria and wild yeast in beer, this is inevitable because of our process and limited resources for expensive sanitary conditions. But we can takes steps to drastically limit that contamination.
A lot of people see these steps as too burdensome to bother with, but the rewards can be seen in just a few repitches. The vials/packs you buy from the store were grown in a lab and not in anything resembling beer. So, it takes a couple of rounds of beer fermentation for the yeast to start fermenting in the way they were intended to. If you simply use the vial and dump, then buy another for the next batch, you never really get the results of good beer fermentation. This is only possible from rinsing and reusing yeast. Most yeast experts will say that a fresh vial/pack really takes 3-4 beer fermentations before they start chugging along nicely and giving their intended results.
You can test this idea by making the same exact batch 3-4 times in a row; same temp. fermentation, same pitch rate, everything the same except the rinsed yeast generation. Then at the end, taste all the beers side-by-side. You will probably see a big difference in the beers.
Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck. - Psalm 69:1

My husband and I decided on this crib after much research. We liked the stationary bar and the attached changing table. Plus the fact that we can use it for years to come as the baby grows is a huge money saver! We had the product shipped to the store and the associates helped us out with it. The box is really big, so definately need an SUV or truck to get it home. We had to take it out of the box to fit it in our Honda Accord. The crib was relatively easy to put together. In the directions they referred to parts by letter, but none of the parts had any lables on them! We just went through it all prior to starting and set aside the parts and hardware in sections and it worked out well. The instructions manual has really good pictures and you can figure out what's what easily. The changing table is nice, though I'll probably have to cut a little slit in my pad covers to loop the buckly through. The hamper underneath is nice too, though I may put a little plastic trash can or bag to prevent any contamination or damage from dirty clothes. The stationary rail is so much safer than the drop rails and it's not so high that I can't reach into the crib. Our little man isn't here yet, but I can't wait to lay him in new crib! I feel like this is a high quality product, sturdy and will be durable for years to come. A great value for the money. We bought a mattress sized 52.0 x 27.8 x 5.5 and it fits in perfectly
I brought this crib and i put it together and it very strong and made out of soild wood. The thing i like most about the crib is the front railing is stationary and does not move. All the parts are metal and can't wait to try it out with our little girl,It was very easy to put together and changing table is attached to the crib but once you use it as a full size bed it a nite stand. I would recommend this product to anyone. It at great crib
First of all, this is a beautiful, solid piece of furniture that any family would be lucky to own. My daughter will be here in a few weeks and I know she will get a lifetime of use out of it. It was definitely a great price, and the conversion seems fairly seamless. There are also some great hidden shelves to the side of the changer, which delighted me! :) That being said...my poor hubby wrestled with putting this thing together for hours. The directions were unclear at times and sometimes contradictory. The crib itself was easy enough to assemble, as was the structure of the changer, but what isn't advertised as a huge feature (or that I didn't notice) was the wooden hamper component. Apparently, there are pieces to create a hamper that goes in the empty space under the changer and shelving. Ok...a bulky wooden hamper (on wheels, no less, as most baby rooms are carpeted!) is not the best option for a baby. Luckily, it's presence is strictly optional and doesn't affect the overall outcome of the project. Which is good, because the direction showed holes being screwed into holes that did not exist. The notches on the pieces of wood did not match the diagrams. Honestly, though, I like having the space underneath to use at my discretion. There is perfectly adequate room for a diaper genie or diaper disposal unit of a similar size. Or, a cloth or small plastic hamper would fit. My only other gripe is the changer space. It is perfectly adequate space to change a child, and it comes with a vinyl covered pad with straps. Unfortunately, this pad is not quite quality, and I haven't found a changer pad cover that will fit! Most of the ones you find at Babies R Us or wherever are for the contoured pads, and those are way too big for the changer. I will probably have to end up making my own if I can't find a suitable one. But really, it's a great product, if you can get around the assembly. It's up, it's sturdy, and it's beautiful. I cannot wait to see my daughter in it!
Its bigger than i thought, but it may be because my room is average size! But i love it! I love that it grows with baby. Converts to a day bed for when they get older. LOVE the storage spaces. It has 3 shelfs, a hamper for dirty colthes, and a drawer space underneath. The only downfall is i wish the side rail was able to move up and down. But it dont. But its really sturdy, and i love the cider finish!
This is a beautiful product. Exactly what my husband's grandaughter wanted for her baby. Unfortunately, it arrived damaged, and getting that resolved has not yet happened and the baby is due in less than a month.
I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to assemble the item, I wasn't looking forward to it. However, I am so impressed with the instructions that I'm looking forward to assembling more items! (The instructions are attached to the metal mattress frame which is enclosed in separate wrapping I remember another reviewer couldn't find them and her husband was crafty enough to put the cradle together without instructions. Don't think I could). My 3 year old nephew and I had a ball assembling this crib for his baby sister. My nephew loved using the allen wrench once I placed the screws appropriately. Although all of the tools are supplied, I would suggest using a battery operated screwdriver only because it's faster than manually doing so and also some Krazy glue or wood glue for the handle on the hamper which didn't stay screwed at all. I thought the drawer was attached but it's just a drawer on casters (wheels) which is placed under the bed.
My husband and I assembled this crib together. I would recommend that at least two people try to attempt this. The directions were very clear and easy to follow. Here's a bit of advice: If you have a power tool, use it to put this crib together.When you have reached the step where you must put the hamper together, pay careful attention that you must use the provided threaded screws...there are no holes drilled....before you actually attempt to screw the the nails in, try to put the hamper together, so you can figure out if you have it put together right (the directions are a little grey about putting the hamper together)...when everything seems kosher, then start to screw the nails in to assemble the hamper. All-in-all, we had a blast putting this crib together! Also, if you want to make it an easier task to put this sucker together, I recommend that you gather all the screws, bolts, and other little pieces (while still inside their individual packages) and label them with a sharpie marker. There are pictures of the hardware..ie screws n such...inside the directions booklet, but this step saved us a lot of digging, time, and energy....Good luck! : )
This is a gorgeous crib for the cheap price. Lots of storage spaces for blankets and bath supplies. Easy to assemble too!
The cribe is everything my wife and I needed. The only issue we had was the measurements on the website read "Product in Inches (L x W x H): 56.0 x 41.0 x 6.0" I measure the walls to wich the cribe was going to go. Its was 62" long. The cribe is 54 1/4" changing table is 17" inc. long. The over all length is 71 1/4" inch. So, I hope this helps the next person that buys this cribe. It took 3 hrs to assemble. Its worth the trouble, just wish it would have fit were we wanted it too.
Assembled this is in about 2 hrs with the help of my 5 year old. Problems I ran into: no pre-drilled holes for the hamper.. so unless you have a power screwdriver/drill it'll be difficult. Also, on the back part of the changer (opposite of the hamper) there are 3 shelves. Well, there were 3 holes missing to put the pegs in for the shelves. Also, when you place the shelves in the holders, you end up scratching them because the tabs don't go wide enough. Baby is not due for about 8 weeks so can't rate on ease of use.
Has many features that other cribs don't.
it was worth the money the gardest part was assembly but that wasn't that bad
When we recieved it from the store and opened it some pieces were broken and we just put the crib together anyways cause we didnt want to wait and go through the heck of waiting for pieces
this crib is a good value for the money
I searched this website for hrs trying to find the perfect crib. I found that many of the reviews are confusing and discouraging. I took a chance purchasing this crib because it had no reviews when I purchased mine, I actually have the espresso color which doesnt seem to be available anymore. I ordered it site to store, which it was in mint condition no damage. My husband and 9 yr old son put it together in about 2 hrs. It comes with everything you need for conversion, so no worries about purchasing that later. It is of great quality, but does scratch easily, I realized when I hung my mobile up. The changing table is very sturdy and comes with a pad. It is large and would not work well in a small room. Well worth the money. Have not put it to use yet, still 4 weeks to go for me.
easy to put together. very strudy.
We have not used this yet as our daughter has not yet arrived, but after putting it together it is gorgeous and very sturdy, i have no doubts that we will be pleased with it. As everyone else said the only downside is that the hamper holes are not pre drilled, otherwise it was very easy to put together. My husband thought it would take all day and it only took an jour or two.
It's a great crib! I love it, my baby loves it! the changing table is just a blessing! & the fact that it changes to a todler bed is great. it's worth more than 250!!
This product far exceeded my expectations. I was just amazed at quality of this product for the price. What is unfortunate is the mattresses displayed in association with this crib were not all the correct size for the bed and I had no way to determine that until I got the mattress
So far I LOVE this crib. I haven't used it yet because baby isn't here. My sister & I put it together & it didn't take long at all. Everything you need is in the box & the instructions are very clear. The bed is very sturdy. I have a little boy who will be 4 next month & he jumps in & on it everyday. (we are working on that before baby gets here) It holds up though & doesn't budge. I LOVE IT!

REALITY BYTES: Panda cub is cute distraction from Pandora's box opened on Capitol Hill
Published: Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 12:29 a.m.
Seriously though, whats the big deal with the new panda (at the National Zoo)?
-- Sarah, 29, Washington
For the past few months, the nations capital has been swept up in panda-monium or whatever other phrase accurately describes usually reasonable adults acting like grade-schoolers on Christmas Eve.
Without a doubt, being downright adorable doesnt hurt. But I put the bulk of the blame on Scooter" Libby- and Tom Delay-weary Washington newspaper assignment editors, who leapt on the panda-wagon out of sheer scandal exhaustion.
The National Zoos newest celebrity was born last summer, a time dominated by news about grand jury investigations of White House leaks and lobbyists alleged bribes of congressmen.
Starting July 9, 2005, the names Jack Abramoff and Valerie Plame began taking second place to that of Tai Shan, a male Panda born in captivity to zoo residents Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, who arrived in Washington from China in 2000.
But it would be six months until the zoo allowed a public viewing of the lad and pand-ticipation soon gave way to full-on pandemic. Washington and the rest of the country was left to get their butter stick" fix from the National Zoos panda cam on the Smithsonians Web site, whose viewership has increased dramatically since the cubs birth, according to Web-tracker Alexa.com.
When the panda was born, observers described the cub as about the size of a butter stick. Its Chinese tradition to wait 100 days to name a newborn panda, so in the meantime butter stick" ...well, stuck. And the clever name only added to the publics irrational panda fetish. Scream Tai Shan" on a crowded street in Washington and people may look at you like youre crazy; scream butter stick" and you just might get a chorus of Oohs" and Ahhhs."
According to an October analysis from the local alternative newsweekly, the Washington City Paper, between Oct. 2 and Oct. 22, pictures of Tai Shan appeared in the Washington Post 21 times, second only to Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers and ahead of third place President Bush, who came in with a paltry 17.
But, like all fads, the media now is tired of the hype it helped create.
After the birth-watch, the Panda-cam...the stick-of-butter analogies, the naming contest, the weigh-ins and medical checks etc.," wrote Keith B. Richburg, a Washington Post reporter, in a piece posted on the Web log Fishbowl DC, Id like to stuff that darned bear and shove him on somebodys mantle place."
But public interest in the black-and-white furball apparently hasnt diminished. About a month ago, rumors even circulated that tickets to see the cubs Dec. 8 debut were being sold on the classified-ad Web-site Craiglist.org for hundreds of dollars and, in one case, in exchange for unmentionable favors.
Matt Olear, a spokesman for the zoo, said the 13,000 tickets released to the general public on Nov. 21 evaporated quickly.
We knew he was popular," he said, but we were surprised the tickets were gone in two hours."

Death by Obamanomics?
The president's policies on energy, unions, and health care won't help an ailing economy.
12:00 AM, Jun 26, 2009 • By IRWIN M. STELZER
Energy is not the only sector that is likely to be less efficient than in the past. It is no coincidence that America's superior productivity performance has coincided with the decline of trade unions. We have seen how union compensation scales and work rules contributed to the bankruptcy of General Motors and Chrysler -- a fate the non-union car manufacturers have avoided. Yet Congress and the president are preparing to spur union growth by eliminating the secret ballot in union-recognition elections and, rumor has it, by writing advantages for union members into the tax laws, perhaps by exempting them from taxes on their employer-sponsored health-care benefits while imposing such taxes on non-union employees.
There is worse. The president is about to engineer the takeover of the health care sector. Unless Congress refuses to go along with the establishment of a government insurer -- voter enthusiasm for this "reform" is minimal -- competition from an entity that has no need to make a profit and can count on taxpayer funding if premiums prove inadequate will surely doom private insurers. Estimated cost over ten years: $1.3-$1.6 trillion, adding to the upward pressure on taxes, especially on wealth-creating entrepreneurs, created by the administration's runaway deficits.
The administration simply has no credible plan to reduce those deficits, and instead talks vaguely of cutting entitlements or the savings from universal health care coverage -- never mind that more coverage means higher costs, and the proclaimed goal of prolonging live, however admirable, will drive costs up, not down. Obama's huge deficits already have purchasers of Treasury IOUs worried that they will be repaid in devalued dollars, which will eventually force wary investors to price the risk of inflation into the price they are prepared to pay for government IOUs. Interest rates rise, economic growth slows.
Two thoughts pierce the gloom. The first is that the American economy might be large enough, and resilient enough, to remain competitive even bearing the weight of the new inefficiencies. The second is that voters will demand a change of course before Obamanomics is permanently embedded in our system. Voters worry that they are leaving their children a mountain of debt. Already Obama's approval rating among independent voters, whom Wall Street Journal analyst Gerald Seib calls "the canaries in the coal mine of American politics", has fallen from 60 percent to 45 percent. Even if the president doesn't get the message, Congress, faced with an election next year, just might.

If you have Arborio rice on hand, use it in place of long-grained rice.
Leave a Review
Wow! I used arborio, fresh spinach and vegetable broth and a little chopped red bell pepper as suggested by another review. My husband and both I thought this was one of the best risottos we'd ever had. It took a lot more liquid (5 cups) than the recipe suggested, though. I made up the volume with a little more broth and a lot more wine. So easy to make, though it did require constant vigilance.flag if inappropriate
Excellent and easy to make. I used half roasted garlic chicken broth and half no-fat/low salt.flag if inappropriate
I puree steamed fresh spinach, artichoke hearts and a little butter. I've made it untold times but the most appreciated was when I dehydrated it to take on a strenuous backpacking trip...re-hydrate and backwoods campers (and bears) for miles were salivating.flag if inappropriate
This is a great basic risotto recipe. You can vary it with different vegetables, or add meats. Mussels are a great addition.flag if inappropriate
I used vegetable broth instead of chicken, arborio rice and fresh spinach. It was delicious and I plan to make it again soon.flag if inappropriate
Great risotto. I added some thinly sliced red bell pepper with the onion for color. Served with fresh baked king salmon it was a definite hit.flag if inappropriate
If you can stir, you can make this recipe. I might opt for fresh spinach, or perhaps reduce the amount of frozen spinach used as it is a touch overwhelming. Nonetheless, it was yummy-even my 18 month old gobbled it up! I will definitely make it again.flag if inappropriate
FantastiC! Just the recipe I was looking for. Except that I used fresh spinach which I lightly cooked, cooled and pureed with a little bit of butter. Then I stirred it in with Manchego (Spanish) cheese because that is what I had on hand. Just fab!!! My italian-origen hubbie loved it and smiled with green specks everywhere!flag if inappropriate
This is delicious AND easy. The only drawback is the attention it requires; I definitely couldn't get the rest of my dinner ready without some assistance. I skipped the Pernod (since I didn't have it in the house & didn't know what to substitute), and would probably do so again.flag if inappropriate
I love this dish. It is incredibly creamy but without the cream! Although it takes some effort, it is well-worth it.flag if inappropriate

DUBLIN, Aug. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (Nasdaq: JAZZ) today announced that Jazz Investments I Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Issuer"), priced its previously announced offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of exchangeable senior notes due 2021. The Issuer has also granted the initial purchasers of the notes a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $75 million aggregate principal amount of notes from the Issuer solely to cover over-allotments, if any.
The notes, which will be general unsecured obligations of the Issuer, are being sold in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Issuer's obligations under the notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc. The notes will be exchangeable for cash, ordinary shares of Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc ("ordinary shares") or a combination of cash and ordinary shares, at the Issuer's election. The sale of the notes is expected to close on August 13, 2014, subject to customary closing conditions.
Interest on the notes will be payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2015 at a rate of 1.875% per year. The notes will mature on August 15, 2021, unless earlier exchanged, repurchased or redeemed. The initial exchange rate will be 5.0057 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $199.77 per ordinary share). The initial exchange price represents a premium of approximately 47.5% to the $135.44 closing price per ordinary share on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on August 7, 2014.

Port Listener
editor's review
Port Listener is a simple, lightweight program that allows you to listen to a user-selected port. It provides a user-friendly working environment and can display the results in a separate console.
The program can indicate the applications using the specified port, as well as notify you if the port is forbidden or if any errors occur.
Additionally the application allows you to listen to ports on two different protocols, namely TCP and UDP. If active, the process must be stopped for you to change the protocol option. You can start and stop the listening task at any time, using the dedicated functions.
This is a portable piece of software, so installing Port Listener is not necessary. You can unzip the executable file to any location on the disk and run it directly.
Moreover, you can save Port Listener to an external storage device (such as a USB flash drive) and run it on any computer with minimum effort.
Another important aspect worth mentioning is that the Windows registry does not get entry updates, and files are not left behind on the hard drive after removing the tool.
The interface of Port Listener is based on a small and plain window with a simple layout, where you can input a port number and click a button to listen to it. Details are shown in a secondary panel, the console and you can either copy them to the Clipboard, clear or hide them. The console management options are available from the context menu.
The application minimizes to the system tray area and uses a very low amount of CPU and RAM, so it does not disrupt user activity.
It supports multiple instances, enabling you to listen to different ports at once. All in all, Port Listener comes packed with the necessary and suffice features for listening to ports.

Gaspar's New American Restaurant only opened earlier this year, but it is now ranked the number one restaurant out of 105 in New London listed on tripadvisor.com, a popular national web site that compiles customer reviews.
But, alas, Gaspar, the Vienna-trained chef who lent the restaurant its name, is no longer in the kitchen.
Gaspar Stantic, a former Dallas restaurateur who claims to have worked for Donald Trump and cooked for Queen Elizabeth, has most recently been delighting New London foodies. Stantic recently told a food writer for The Day that one of his establishments was named one of America's top restaurants by Zagat, a gold standard in American restaurant rankings.
Here in New London, Stantic wasn't feeding royalty. But he can claim to have cooked for Mayor Finizio. And the place has been popular.
Last week, in a noisy dust-up that led to police being called to the restaurant, Stantic walked out and left his partner to find someone else to run the kitchen. Word of the dramatic breakup spread quickly through the local restaurant scene.
The restaurant has remained open for its regular hours, but I'm sorry to report that Gaspar won't be there to make such dishes as a salad with Asian pears, prosciutto, creamy feta and walnut vinaigrette, which especially delighted one tripadvisor reviewer.
"It has only been around for three months, but it is the best dining experience I have ever had," is one of the typical rave reviews on tripadvisor for Gaspar's. "My husband, a retired chef, and I spent all evening and were thoroughly delighted with everything. A must see in New London."
And there are lots more like that, under headlines like: "Amazing," "Best of the Best" and "Kudos."
When I first heard about police being called to a disturbance at Gaspar's I put in a call to Stantic. He confirmed that he has left the restaurant and agreed to get together to talk about what happened.
But on the day we had arranged to meet, he backed out, saying a lawyer had advised him not to discuss the situation.
In our brief phone conversation, Stantic confirmed, in an accent that betrays his Swiss origins, "I'm not there, for sure."
I was sorry we did not get a chance to meet. I had hoped to ask him more about what brought him to New London.
A search of some articles on food blogs that have been written about him indicated he came up here to be close to some family. He was living in New York after leaving Dallas, where one food blog wrote about an abrupt ending to a restaurant partnership he had with another chef there.
I didn't have any luck reaching Stantic's partner in Gaspar's of New London, after leaving messages and visiting the restaurant.
The restaurant's liquor license is held by Andrew Bell of New London, and Bell is the managing member of A & G Group LLC, which is listed as the restaurant's principal backer.
Editor's note: Bell is listed in state records as the liquor license permittee for Gaspar's but said Friday he sold his interest in the restaurant about two months ago. He said he remains the liquor license holder while paperwork for the transaction is in transition.
A kitchen worker who let me into the restaurant after hours, when I stopped to find the owner, refused to say much on the record but complained that Stantic "walked out on the people of New London" and the other employees of the restaurant.
I'm just sorry I may never get to try one of Chef Gaspar's appetizers of roasted yellow beets with Gorgonzola cream and pistachio vinaigrette that one tripadvisor reviewer gushed about.
