Common Problems Encountered by Breastfeeding Women
In This Article:
Few things are more distressing to parents than the sound of their own baby crying. Mother Nature intended it this way, to guarantee that well-meaning parents would promptly respond to their baby's needs. Fortunately, by trial and error and good intentions, most parents soon learn to read their baby's cues and thus manage to keep crying to a minimum. Since human milk is the ideal infant food and is so readily digestible, breastfeeding parents often assume that their babies automatically will be content most of the time. But babies have a wide range of temperaments and differing needs. Some are naturally easy and predictable, while others are extrasensitive and more difficult in general. Babies cry an average of one and a half to four hours a day in the first six weeks of life, but any crying can feel like too much when it exceeds a parent's threshold for coping.
Colic is a vague term that describes excessive crying in an otherwise healthy baby for no apparent reason during the first three months of life. No specific cause or treatment has been identified, and parents are typically advised to use comfort measures to cope with the excessive crying until their baby outgrows the problem. Often, a baby is labeled as being "colicky" (crying without an explanation) when the infant, in fact, has a reason for crying that hasn't been recognized. If your breastfed baby cries excessively without an obvious explanation, consider the following possibilities:
When a breastfed baby cries a great deal, the first thing to consider is the possibility of hunger. Neither the number of nursings nor the length of feedings can provide absolute assurance that your baby has gotten enough milk. Many breastfeeding mothers automatically assume that their baby can't be hungry because "I just fed him." But having nursed recently doesn't guarantee that your baby isn't still hungry. Sometimes babies nurse without having latched on correctly or without sucking properly. Sometimes the milk doesn't let-down briskly or a woman doesn't produce enough milk to satisfy the baby. Thus, an infant might "go through the motions" of nursing without actually getting a full feeding.
If your baby cries excessively and you can't figure out why, start with a weight check to be sure he is gaining at an appropriate rate. Don't settle for telephone advice about your baby's "colicky" behavior unless your infant has been weighed within the last week. Time and time again, we have evaluated a breastfed infant referred to the Lactation Program for "colic" only to find that the baby was very underweight and had been crying due to hunger. In the early months of life, you should expect your baby's height and weight percentiles to be proportionate. If your baby's weight is dropping percentiles, his crying might be due to hunger. Crying due to hunger is usually accompanied by vigorous sucking on a finger, fist, or pacifier and promptly responds to feeding.
Reaction to Maternally Ingested Foods
Allergies and other adverse reactions to maternally ingested foods can produce colicky behavior in breastfed infants as previously described. In addition to fussiness, these babies often have skin rashes, vomiting, diarrhea, congestion, or other symptoms. Irritable, allergic infants often are overweight, since they are put to breast frequently in an attempt to console them. They may become fussy minutes after nursing or a couple of hours later. Frequently, a family history of food sensitivities can be elicited.
Overactive Let-Down Reflex
As previously noted, some women are blessed with an abundant milk supply and a brisk let-down. Their breasts work like precision machines when it comes to feeding time. As soon as the milk ejection reflex is triggered, milk pours from their nipple openings so fast that it's all their baby can do to handle the flow without choking. It's a little like drinking from a fire hydrant, and some babies find it too much of a good thing. As they gulp and sputter their way through a feeding, they may get overwhelmed. Some infants pull off the breast and cry in frustration until the milk stops spraying. Others make valiant attempts to get through a feeding, but end up swallowing excessive amounts of air. This can cause uncomfortable gas and lead to unexplained crying during or after feedings.
If an overactive let-down is causing your baby distress, try expressing some milk before feeding, and put your baby to the breast after milk flow tapers to a manageable level. Or, you can interrupt nursing for a minute or two once the let-down is triggered and wait for the milk to stop spraying. Babies of mothers with overgenerous milk supplies often do better nursing from one breast at a feeding instead of both breasts. This way, they get more hindmilk and a gradually decreasing flow rate.
Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER)
The circular muscle that separates the stomach and the esophagus (food pipe) is loose in young infants, so that stomach contents can easily enter the esophagus during or after feedings and be spit up. This condition is known as reflux or gastroesophageal reflux (GER). Reflux is more likely to occur when a baby is lying on his back with a full tummy. Thus, it is not uncommon for a baby to spit up while lying supine for a diaper change after a feeding. In mild cases of reflux, the baby may spit up a lot, but acts content and gains weight appropriately. Usually, by eight to ten months of age, when babies have learned to sit up well and spend more time in a semiupright position, the frequency of spitting decreases.
In a few infants, GER represents a serious problem rather than a benign condition. These babies may be chronically fussy due to the irritation of acid stomach contents in their esophagus, producing heartburn symptoms. Babies with serious reflux often become distressed and irritable during feedings. They may pull away from the breast, cry, arch, act uncomfortable, and refuse to keep nursing even though plenty of milk remains. Occasionally, reflux is severe enough to impede proper growth and cause choking, coughing, pneumonia, or hoarseness.
If your baby has symptoms that sound like reflux, notify her physician. Generally, babies with GER do better with frequent, smaller feedings that avoid overdistension of the stomach. Spitting up can be reduced by frequent burping during feedings and by positioning the baby upright after nursings. Sometimes medication is prescribed to help the stomach empty more rapidly or to reduce the amount of stomach acids. Rarely surgery becomes necessary to remedy the problem.
Infant Colic
Colic, described earlier, occurs in an estimated 10 to 15 percent of all infants, and it is one of the most difficult and frustrating things for new parents to handle. Crying attributed to colic typically is intermittent and intense, often coming in sudden attacks and lasting an hour or more at a time. There usually is a pattern to the crying, which escalates in the evenings, when parents are most depleted and least able to cope with stress. No definite cause of colic has been found, although common theories include a sensitive temperament, an immature digestive system, and excessive intestinal gas. Colic usually peaks around four to six weeks of age and subsides by three months. It occurs in both breastfed and formula-fed infants. Colicky babies are otherwise healthy, well fed, alert and active, appear happy between crying spells, and show no long-term effects of colic.
Colic is not a telephone diagnosis. If your infant cries excessively without explanation, it is essential that your pediatrician examine him and confirm that no medical problem exists (see below). Other parents have found the following strategies to be helpful in reducing infant crying:
- A baby's cry is a distress signal, and crying babies need to be held and comforted. Holding doesn't reinforce crying any more than feeding reinforces hunger. Responding quickly to a baby's crying doesn't "spoil" the infant. Rather, promptly attending to a crying baby teaches the infant to trust her caretakers. This trust relationship becomes the foundation for communication.
- Gentle rhythmic motion, such as rocking or swinging, and soothing words or repetitive singing will tend to diminish crying. Steady rhythmic sound, like running the vacuum or fan in the next room, may also settle a crying baby.
- Swaddling a distraught infant in a blanket or cuddling him snugly and providing close physical contact will help him feel secure and may diminish crying. A front-pack, carrier, or sling will allow you to hold your infant for long periods without restricting your activities.
- Avoid vigorous bouncing, jiggling, or jostling, crowds, loud noises, or other boisterous activities that may further upset your baby. When your baby starts to fuss, take him into a quiet room with subdued lighting and minimal stimulation.
- Place your baby across your lap tummy-down and pat her back or carry her facedown on your forearm with her legs draped over either side of your elbow. Pat her back with your other hand while walking, rocking side to side, or squatting and standing.
- Try a car ride. Secure your baby in his car seat and go for a short drive. The motion and motor usually lull the baby to sleep. Another strategy is to push your baby around the block in his stroller until he falls asleep.
- Arrange to take a break when you are feeling especially tense and anxious. Just getting outside and walking around your neighborhood or running a short errand while someone else stays with the baby can renew your perspective. Your baby's crying will not seem nearly as nerve-racking to a relief caretaker.
- Take consolation in the knowledge that other parents have survived colic too. Try to remember the crying is no one's fault, the condition is self-limiting, and your baby is otherwise healthy. Never shake an infant, as violent shaking can cause severe brain injury and even death!

SPOTLIGHT ON:(Back to Menu)
Osato Chitou '10 – Ready for the Next Step on Her Journey
Osato Chitou '10
Chitou's high school years were spent at a boarding school in Connecticut. While in college, she earned extra money by tutoring students from some of the low-income, mostly minority neighborhoods around Boston. This made plain the educational advantages she enjoyed and the limited resources of so many others. After receiving her B.A. in biological anthropology, Chitou took a job teaching sixth grade at a private school in Colorado. "In my mind, preparatory school was a very Northeastern idea, so I was interested in how it was 'done' out West."
The Colorado school had endless resources and its students were so eager to learn that she found the experience "too perfect and too easy – I needed to get my hands dirty." Chitou joined AmeriCorps and was placed with the National AIDS Fund in rural North Carolina where she did HIV/AIDS testing, counseling, and education. "It was such a humbling experience," she says, "and I look at that year as moving me a step closer to enrollment in law school."
After Chitou's year of service with AmeriCorps, she enrolled in graduate school to earn her Masters in Public Health. Focusing on community health education, she was able to combine "the skills learned in the classroom, along with the tenets of anthropology (it always comes down to people and culture)." For the required practicum, Chitou traveled in the spring of 2006 to the Buduburam Liberian Refugee Camp in Ghana, which housed tens of thousands of individuals displaced by the West African country's protracted civil war. To do so, she was given a leave of absence from her full-time job as an HIV/AIDS social worker in rural North Carolina.
Chitou's master's thesis was an examination of the effect of female social networks on the health of refugee women, many of whom are subject to multiple resettlements. She conducted interviews with female victims of all types of violence, more specifically, sexual violence. HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections were all too common, forcing the master's candidate to put on her social worker hat. Chitou found numerous similarities between her job back home and her practicum in Ghana. As she tells it, "The duties involved in being a social worker, especially in a small town, involve a great deal of hustling to get your clients what they need to survive. Often times HIV/AIDS was of minimal concern. Housing, employment, schooling, and keeping the lights on for my clients took up most of my time. I even had clients that had no running water (in America!). So getting to the refugee camp, and seeing that they had the exact same problems, was a real eye opener. I had crossed an ocean, had not had an appropriate shower for weeks, and had just missed a cholera outbreak to find out that things were no different in the U.S."
Chitou's employer had given her many bags of medications to bring to the refugee camp. "Just as in the U.S.," she says, "we were able to save a person for a month, but I always thought to myself, what about next month? Next year? When I finally got back to the States (with a much smaller waistline), it hit me that I had to have a seat at the table in order for true change to occur." She knew it was the law that would get her that seat. Chitou applied to doctoral programs in social work/policy as well as to law school and received a full ride to a well-respected Ph.D. program. Torn between attending Rutgers School of Law–Newark or getting paid to receive her doctorate, she called Roberta Geddis, Assistant to the Dean of Admissions, and explained her dilemma. As Chitou recalls the conversation, "She said words that I will never forget: 'People listen to lawyers.'" At the end of that phone call, I sent in my deposit to the law school. I have not looked back since."
|Osato Chitou poses at 2009 Alumni Association Recognition Dinner with (l-r) Michael Lasky '78, David Garber '88, and Scott Walker '00. Garber is president of the Alumni Association and Lasky and Walker were dinner co-chairs.
After her first year of law school, Chitou chose to return to Ghana, an experience she described in an article for the National Jurist (March 2009). Of her decision to work as a legal intern for Shawbell Consulting in Accra, Ghana, she wrote: "I knew I had to visualize refugee camp and law firm in the same country. First, it was important for me to know that one can don a suit in 'Africa' and that the image of success does not only lie in America, France, or the UK, but one can also be very successful in the developing world. Second, it was important for me to work for a Ghanian-owned and operated firm, run by a Ghanian woman in what is a man's world."
Chitou has immersed herself in extracurricular activities at Rutgers. As a 2L, she served as president of the International Law Society, vice co-chair of the Women's Law Forum, and professional development co-chair for the Minority Student Program. This year she is co-editor-in-chief of Rutgers Race and the Law Review, a member of the Moot Court Board, an Eagleton Institute of Politics Fellow, and a Legal Research & Writing Teaching Associate. These experiences, she believes, are training her for a future leadership position. "I am not quite sure what it is yet, but I am following this natural progression that will lead me to where I am supposed to be."
At the 2009 Alumni Association Recognition Dinner, dinner co-chair Michael C. Lasky '78 announced that Chitou had been awarded a new Alumni Association Scholarship in recognition of her many achievements and commitment to human rights and social justice. "Osato is a really distinguished student who is a pride to all of our alums," said Lasky.
"It has been such a fascinating journey and to finally end here at Rutgers seems so right," says Chitou. She is most proud of her ability "to balance all of the activities that I have been involved in with staying married," an accomplishment she attributes to her "very understanding" husband, Ismael. "Without him, I don't think that I would have made it this far." She is also quick to acknowledge the wonderful friendships and connections she has made at Rutgers. "The law school is so diverse and filled with so many talented people from all different walks of life."
After her May 2010 graduation, Chitou will work for Moses & Singer LLP, New York, whose practice areas include health law, clearly an area of particular interest to her. "I am not sure where my path will lead, but I do look forward to the journey."

I have been designing & building websites and online applications for a few years now and have enjoyed (almost) every minute of it. I work mainly in php/codeigniter using jquery on the front-end with the occasional bit of Flash thrown in for good measure (though this seems to be a bit of a dirty word these days thanks to certain fruit based hardware/software companies).
I am both tantalised and frustrated by my recent ventures into css3/HTML5 - as exciting as some of the new features are once again we are held up by the third world browsers - most notably microsofts past and present efforts - I really wish they would give up and let firefox get on with it... hey ho. ( IE issues : FF issues = 50:1 )
Top Web development erm, development in the last 5 years (maybe - couldnt be bothered to google it) - got to be Jquery - pure website magic.
If your not excited by the oracle that we call the internet there is either something wrong with you or you haven't been around long enough to remember the before time... an age of landlines, libraries and rewind buttons.

I've tried both on Firefox and Chromium, and had the same result in both browsers. What amazes me, is that I can log out/log in from Stack Overflow, but not Stack Overflow Careers.
Have I found a bug?
And yes; I've copy-pasted the OpenID URL in both cases, and have tried several times, so I'm not mistyping.

I'd like to have some way to differentiate between yǐqián (以前) and zhīqián (之前), in order to help with memorising them both. Referring to Modern Mandarin Grammar (Claudia Ross, Routledge 2006), it seems to suggest that the only point of differentiation is that zhīqián is more literary. Is this the only difference? If not, what do I need to know?

As a native Chinese speaker, I agree with what you found in the book. Two words are almost identical except that Zhiqian is more literary. But, on a second thought, it seems that zhiqian is similar to "earlier" while yiqian is similar to "used to". For example:
In its meaning of of "used to", 以前 can be used to start a sentence, while 之前 cannot:
对:以前,中国骑自行车的人很多。(可以改为"过去,中国骑自行车的人很多。") 错:之前,中国起自行车的人很多。
对:在出现汽车之前人们骑马。 对:在出现汽车以前人们骑马。(不能改为"在出现汽车过去人们骑马。")
很遗憾,越来越多的说中文的人把"之前"当作"以前"用。It is very bad more and more Chinese people are using "之前" where they should use "以前".
I'm not a native speaker, but it seems to me that in some cases the usage of these two terms is different and not interchangeable.
For example, I think you could say 我三岁之前,我只喝牛奶 (or 只能喝牛奶), to have the meaning "Before I was three", but it would sound a little odd to say 我三岁以前,我只能喝牛奶, wouldn't it?
I think both terms can mean "in the past", but it seems to me that if you are referring to an event that occurred prior to some other event in the past, 之前 sounds better (but for something that occurs before something else in the future, both 之前 and 以前 are OK - for example, 我去欧洲之前,我需要学习法语 or 我去欧洲以前,我需要学习法语 (although personally I still like the sound of 之前 better than 以前 in this sentence too).
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Breast Cancer Vaccine Study Supported by Unique "Progress for Patients" Grant from Avon and National Cancer Institute
Please use for reference only.
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: March 3, 2004
Study Evaluates Immune Response to Telomerase Tumor Antigen as Possible Vaccine
(Monday, February 9, 2004, Philadelphia, PA) – Researchers at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania have begun a Phase I clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a telomerase peptide as a possible vaccine against breast cancer. The study will measure potential tumor cell shrinkage in patients after an immune response has been triggered to an antigen – the telomerase peptide – found in more than 90 percent of breast cancer tumors.
The study is made possible through a unique $500,000 grant from the "Avon-NCI Progress for Patients" Awards program, a special private-public partnership between the Avon Foundation, Inc. and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) dedicated to accelerating early phase clinical research into promising therapies.
"This is the first clinical study to use a telomerase peptide as a possible vaccine against breast cancer," said lead researcher Robert Vonderheide, MD, DPhil, an assistant professor at the Leonard and Madlyn Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute at the University of Pennsylvania. "Our hope is that the immune response will kill the cancer and improve the health of patients."
Twenty-eight patients with metastatic breast cancer will be enrolled in the study, which is expected to last two years. Patients will be injected with one of three escalating doses of the telomerase antigen in combination with adjuvant therapies (granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor, GM-CSF) over a period of seven months. The immune and tumor response to the telomerase-based vaccine will be monitored over the duration of the study and compared to a control response to an injection of cytomegalovirus peptide.
The results of an earlier feasibility study – also led by Vonderheide and published in the February 1st edition of the journal Clinical Cancer Research – showed immune responses with little toxicity in seven breast and prostate cancer patients after they were injected with small amounts of a similar telomerase peptide vaccine.
"One breast cancer patient in the earlier study showed temporary tumor regression, prompting us to accelerate research into the possibility of a vaccine," said trial principal investigator Susan Domchek, MD, a breast medical oncologist at the Abramson Cancer Center and assistant professor at Penn's School of Medicine.
Patients can obtain further information about the trial by calling toll free (877) 601-8601 or visiting OncoLink's Clinical Trials Matching Service.

The first 4 Perakim of Eicha are written in the order of the Aleph Bais. However in Perek 2, 3, & 4 the Pesukim for פ are written before the Pesukim with the ע. Why? And then why in Perek 1 is it in the correct order?

The Gemara (Sanhedrin 104b) says that it is because peh means "mouth" and ayin means eye, and it therefore symbolizes the sin of the spies, "who said with their mouths [false reports about the Land of Israel] that they did not see with their eyes."
Maharsha there adds that the regular order was retained in the first chapter of Eicha, because otherwise we would think that Yirmiyahu simply had a different ordering of the Hebrew alphabet than we do. (Indeed, some modern scholars claim exactly that.)
Lechem Dim'ah (R. Shmuel de Uceda, a disciple of the Arizal) offers a different reason: in ch. 2 the verse for פ tells of how our non-Jewish enemies gleefully "opened their mouths... hooted and gnashed their teeth," while the ע verse describes Hashem actually carrying out the destruction. In other words, the gentiles began harassing the Jews even ahead of Hashem's granting them license to do so - which in turn was punishment for the spies' sin, as above. Thus, it is appropriate to change the order only beginning here.
Etz Yosef cites Nachalas Binyamin, who says that another reason is because, after all, the spies did start out by speaking the truth - in other words, at first they did put their ayin before their peh. He also cites Alshich, that it is because the צ verse in ch. 1 is King Yoshiyahu's deathbed confession for having disobeyed the word of Hashem's peh, and we don't want to incorrectly imply that he also sinned against Hashem's ayin, which would be implied if they were juxtaposed.

Countee Cullen was a black writer and translator who won more major literary prizes than any other black writer of the 1920's. Cullen began winning poetry contests as a teenager. His first three poems in the 1920's were: Color, Copper Sun, and The Ballad of the Brown Girl. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from New York University. Cullen later became the second black poet to win a Guggenheim Fellowship.
Little is known about his childhood, but he claimed to be born in New York in 1903 and was unofficially adopted as a child. Until 1918, he was known as Countee Porter. He had a difficult relationship with his father, the Reverend Frederick A. Cullen. Frederick Cullen was a devout Methodist pastor who had been raised in poverty. As a child, he wore girls' clothing at the urging of his mother. His inner-conflict about his own sexuality was said to have deeply affected his relationship with Countee.
Despite a struggling patriarchal relationship, Cullen's work spoke to literary buffs as a mirror of great poets such as John Keats and Percy Shelley. Though he was associated with the New Negro movement and the Harlem Renaissance, Cullen failed to embrace the literary style of most black poets in the era. However, his work continuously reflected racial themes with political points and black satire. Cullen, who had been raised in predominately white surroundings, was even ridiculed by some who believed that he failed to present a true black perspective in his work.
Cullen received first prize in the Witter Bynner Poetry contest in 1925, Poetry magazine's John Reed Memorial Prize, the Amy Spingarn Award of the Crisis magazine, second prize in Opportunity magazine's first poetry contest, and second prize in the poetry contest of Palms. His list of accolades and prizes were extensive.
In 1928, Cullen married Yolande Du Bois, the only daughter to W.E.B. Dubois. Their marriage was a production and made a symbol of unity among the intellects. Unfortunately, it only lasted two years and their divorce caused a major upset. Cullen's future works were said to be lackluster in quality and may have been a result of the intense separation.
Cullen worked as a French teacher at Frederick Douglass Junior High. He would write a novel, One Way to Heaven, in 1934. Cullen wrote children's literature and was working on a musical called "St. Louis Women" at the time of his death.
Countee Cullen died from high blood pressure and uremic poisoning on January 9, 1946.

Slow Cooking Seafood
When using the slow cooker for seafood dishes, the actual star of the show is a late-comer. The trick is to cook the background ingredients—the vegetables or sauces—for hours so they are tender. Then the fish gets added and usually cooks for no more than 30 minutes. The exact cooking time depends on how much fish you are using and if other ingredients are added at the same time.
The timing of these recipes takes into account the cooking time for the fish used in the recipe. If you fear that the carrots in a soup might not be tender when the fish is added, they will be by the time the fish is done.
If you use the Low setting for the majority of the cooking, you'll be instructed to increase the temperature to High before adding the seafood. The seafood should cook quickly once the dish is ready for its entrance.
Substituting Species
Fish fall into basic families, and depending on where you live, you can always find something fresh. The biggest group is the "firm-fleshed white fish." The cod family, including scrod, haddock, and whiting, are native to the North Atlantic. Grouper comes from southern waters, as does red snapper. Other options are sea bass, striped bass, turbot, and orange roughy.
All these species of fish are mildly flavored and thick enough to hold together in the slow cooker. Species such as sole and flounder are too thin, although their taste is in the same family. Fish for the slow cooker should be at least three-quarters of an inch thick.

5 Silver Linings Now That Identity Theft Ruined Your Life
#2. Can reinvent yourself
One of the most troubling parts of being a victim of identity theft is the loss of your sense of self. The very idea that someone else out there is using your name can be very psychologically traumatic, and lead to some very hard questions about what exactly it means to be "you."
Aside from "constantly covered in cheeto dust."
The upshot of this is that you can use these moments of inner reflection to adjust your role in life, remodeling yourself to adopt qualities you'd prefer to have. Look to fictional examples to guide you. Some of the greatest heroes in cinematic history are marked by their mysterious non-identities. A fine example is Clint Eastwood's classic protagonist, The Man with No Name, who just wanders from town to town, shooting people and looking awesome in a poncho. That could be you! Probably without the shooting.
No. Yeah. Definitely without the shooting.
What this would look like
You: Hello.
Woman on Bus: Hi.
You: I couldn't help but notice that you just got on at 14th Street. I'm new in town and am trying to learn the ropes. Do you like my poncho?
Woman on Bus: -silence, turns away and fixes gaze out window-
You: I was wondering if you knew of any large bounties recently posted, or gang feuds that I might try and turn to my advantage.
Don't be dissuaded by her refusal to make eye contact. That brick wall she's examining out there is pretty remarkable.
Woman on Bus: -pulls the cord for the next stop-
You: You've got a face which I'm going to trust for no reason, so I don't mind telling you that I am pretty lonely. My wife left me for this Russian hacker and now I can't get a boat loan or anything. Also, dogs keep barking at me. I basically just move from town to town now, talking to people on the bus. Sort of like this, but usually a little more awkwardly. Now, I know we've just met, so I hope you won't be cross if I ask you to take me in and care for me. I've got nothing to offer in return but my love ...
And a ridiculously filthy poncho.
Woman on Bus: -pulls the cord for the next stop again, hard-
You: ... and the words of the great Kenny Rogers. -standing, singing boisterously- Oh you've got to know when to hold em'. Know when to fold em! Know when to walk away. And know when to run ...
Woman on Bus: -hurriedly leaves bus-
#1. What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger
It's widely suspected amongst writers of this article that much like fighting off the chicken pox, once you've had your identity stolen once, it's almost certain you'll never fall victim to such a crime again. When asked to comment on this possibility, every identity theft expert we asked refused to confirm or deny the notion, or even to acknowledge us with anything beyond a blank stare. Which tells us we must be close to the truth. You can thus safely conclude that this identity theft experience will cause your body to develop mechanisms to protect you from these types of attacks in the future.
Living the rest of your life as a hermit counts as a 'defense mechanism'.
What this would look like
You: -years later- Boy am I sure glad that things are back to normal.
Shifty Fellow: Excuse me sir, I'm trying to draw a very short straight line. Can I borrow your credit card for a moment, to serve as a straight-edge?
"Your social security card will work too."
You: Of course friend! -reaches for wallet, then immediately go into spasms as body reacts to danger-

Im sitting on my couch, watching the local news. Theres Chloes parents, the mayor, the hangers on, all grouped round the pond for the ceremony. Its ten years since Chloe and Carl drowned. You can tell from their faces that something has gone wrong. But Im the one who knows straightaway that the mayor has found a body. And I know who it is.
Jenn Ashworths gripping and unforgettable Cold Light is the story of a friendship unsettling in its intensity and of one terrible summer when lies, secrets, jealousy, and perversion result in tragedy more twisted and evil than one unsuspecting community can handle. A dark tale with a surreal edge, it follows two fourteen-year-old girls, best friends, as they confront the dangers of a predatory adult world, where truth is cruelly sacrificed in the name of innocence.
"Evokes a damaged mind with the empathy and confidence of Ruth Rendell."
-The Times (London)
"Hugely readable debut novel […] about the inability to know others and ourselves."
-The Independent
"Extremely intense and powerfully intriguing."
'Ashworth has the rare gift of being able to make her reader feel perverse and voyeuristic, implicated somehow in the tragedy laid out on the pages.'
-Sunday Times (London)
A grimly atmospheric mystery.
-Sunday Express (London)
A psychological thriller of the first order.
-The Age (Australia)
Another cleverly skewed tale told from the self-conscious perspective of an outsider... arrestingly observant... Ashworth's second book confirms that the first was no one-off... her talent could take her a long way'
-The Guardian
A wonderful tale, beautifully told.
A chilling, blackly funny novel with a surreal edge about the intensity of teenage friendship.

Description of the files: ext-all.js, ext-debug.js, ext-all-debug.js, ext-dev, ...
Sorry if the answer is right under my nose, but I am looking for documentation on the various js files in the root folder. I have come to understand bootstrap.js, and I often use ext-all-debug.js during development. However, I have found that ext-debug.js is not comparible to the src/debug.js in V3 (I miss the console that it created.) What is ext-dev.js? ext-all-dev.js vs ext-all-debug.js, etc? I have found hints a bits on the forum, but would like to see a technical description of the intention and purpose of each of these files. Also, if there is a way to get the debug console functionality in IE (including IE6) that was provided by src/debug.js, I would appreciate that as a secondary question.
I have searched the forums, blogs, and readme / welcome / doc system and cannot find the intent and purpose of these separate files.
Thanks, and keep up the great work!

bump! I am wondering about the same thing myself.
31 Aug 2011 8:58 PM #3
We're simplifying all of this in 4.1 as it's clearly somewhat confusing at the moment. Here's what they do in 4.0:
ext-all: minified, no JSDoc, no console warnings
ext-all-debug: non-minified, with JSDoc, no console warnings
ext-all-dev: non-minified, with JSDoc, with console warnings
ext-all and ext-all-debug are functionally equivalent, whereas ext-all-dev throws console warnings when you do things like use deprecated APIs or misconfigure components. I don't believe we have ported the debug console from 3.x across yetExt JS Senior Software Architect

I think there's a bug in ext-dev.js:
When i switch from ext-debug.js to ext-dev.js, the path of 'Ext' namespace is lost. This is because extjs path is extracted by searching for included script with the following name:
And obviously this is not the case for ext-dev.js.
A woirkaround is to specify manually ExtJS path, but i think that ext-debug and ext-dev should be seamlessly interchangeable..
@EdSpencer: should i post this in bug forume thread?
25 Sep 2011 4:41 PM #5
You need to set path for Ext when you use ext-dev.js . I think you should always use ext-dev.js instead of ext-debug.js when you intend to use dynamic class loading feature during your development phase.Thanks and regards,

ext-all-dev does not output deprecated usage to the console
Not completely true. As a test, I decided to use Ext.sum() and Ext.type() which is deprecated in 4.0.6. There are no messages in the console at all when using ext-all-dev.js..
29 Apr 2012 11:40 PM #7
ExtJS 4.1 GA has been released, but seems that it has become worse, now there are much more files than before..
the files are:
during development i use:
and during production i use (i include the whole extjs lib):
Is this still correct in 4.1?
What is the "proper" way in 4.1?
24 Jul 2012 12:45 PM #8
I also had the same doubts, and i've come up with the following:
Production: ext-all.js
Development: ext-all-dev.js (It's really useful to use Ext.log function for debugging)

Recently I just learned the Kobayashi distance on complex manifolds and wants to get some feeling of how it looks like on exmaples of manifolds with positive Ricci curvature. I have a feeling that the Kobayashi distance on those manifolds should vanish since those are not very "hyperbolic".
A simple example is extended complex plane. then its Kobayashi distance vanishes since the automorphism group can contract one point very close to the origin while keeping the origin fixed. I believe it is similarly true for all complex projective spaces with usual complex structure since automorphism group is known. Can we have more examples? Or is there a counterexample (an example of Kaehler manifold with positive Ricci curvature but not identically vanishing Kobayashi distance)?

Mother charged with child neglect after store incident
Published: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 10:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 10:02 p.m.
Crystal Turner, 29, of 156 Haleswood Cir. in Goosecreek, S.C., has been charged with child neglect.
Employees at the Costco store at 211 W. Blackstock Road reported seeing Turner abuse a small child Sunday.
Statements were also taken from two other witnesses.
Turner was tracked down and returned Thursday to Spartanburg to meet an officer at City Hall, according to another report.
An officer watched surveillance video of the incident, which shows a female yank a child off the floor before pushing him to the concrete face first and taking him inside a restroom, according to a supplemental report. The woman lifted the child above her head and threw him into the metal cart, the report states.
Turner told an officer that she was tired and her son was acting out in the store.
Turner was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center on Thursday. She has been released on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond, according to jail staff.

Today I was watching Sherlock Holmes and The Game of Shadows. In that movie, several foreign languages like German, French etc. were used. The film itself had no translation in English despite some small elements. Some conversations were inaudible too. I do not mean those inaudible words cannot be guessed, but why is it done so? I have a feeling that they made such things (not showing translation in English, inaudible voices) intentionally and these are not errors. But I cannot understand how this technique can add value to the quality of any movie? Does anybody have explanations?
I didn't know about Sherlock Holmes case, so i am answering it in general way.
If it is unintentional then its movie mistake but if its done intentionally then its can be due to various reasons
Some similar examples are given here.

Weimar Republic, 1940
Thousand German soldiers hear a man talk. This man is Hitler. Hitler has been Dictator and Absolute ruler of Germany since 1933. After German troops invaded Poland, the British Imperium, the Pope and France declared war on Germany. Hitler speeches enourage the German soldiers to fight against the ''Enemies of Germany''.
"Today, this is the task of the German nation. 80 million people now rise to stand aligned. Opposing them stand as many enemies. Today, these 80 million people have excellent internal organization, the best that can exist. They have strong faith, and they do not have the worst leadership; instead, as I am convinced, one of the best. Today, the leaders and the people have one insight: that there is no communication without a clear implementation of our rights and that we do not want this struggle for our rights to commence again in maybe two or three or five years; that these rights that we are discussing belong to 80 million people, not to a party or a movement. Because, at the end of the day, what am I? I am nothing, my German people, but your spokesperson. Therefore I am the representative of your rights. This is not about me as a person, but I do not belong to those people that ever lower their flag. This I have never learned to do. The people have placed their trust in me. I will prove myself worthy of this trust and, in doing this, will not lose sight of myself or my surroundings; instead, I will watch the past and the future. I want to be perceived as honorific by the past and he future, and with me the German people should stand with honor. Today's generation carries Germany's fate, Germany's future or Germany's downfall. And our enemies, today the cry: Germany shall fall!
And Germany can give only one answer. Germany will live, and therefore Germany will emerge victorious!
At the start of the eighth year of the National Socialist revolution our hearts turn to our German people, to its future. We want to serve this future, we want to fight for it, if necessary fall, never capitulate!"
All German soldiers shout with one voice.
"All Hail Hitler!!!! All Hail Hitler!!!!!"
Chapter 1:
The Jedi Knights are all but extinct now. The Jedi were an Order created by the Pope and governed by him and the Council of the 12. They took their powers from the God, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Their mission is to bring peace in the world and enlighten the people to see the power and generosity of the God. That's why they fought in the crusades. In Jerusalem, the Jedi fought against the Sith, a Muslim Order with Jedi-like powers. The Crusades were a huge war between those two orders. Although the Jedi lost, all Sith were exterminated. In later times the Jedi helped the Austrians defeat the Ottoman Armies. In WWI the Jedi played a very important role. As Russia and France fell to German hands, the Jedi managed to turn the side of the war and end the reign of the Evil Kaisar. However, after WWI, from a many thousand Jedi, only a few hundred remained.
The Germans had not forgoten the role of the Jedi in the allied victory. So when WWII started and the Pope declared war on Hitler, Mussolini, dictator of Italy and ally of Hitler, send his army in the Vatican. The few Jedi could not stand against the armies of Italy. Only a few Jedi survived. The Pope and the Council of the 12 left Italy for allied countries.
Hitler started a huge purge against all Jedi. In all of Nazi occupied Europe, the Jedi were exterminated.
Meanwhile in USSR, Stalin had signed a Non-aggression Pact with Hitler. Stalin, in order to enforce Communism in Russia, started a Purge against all Jedi.
Most of Europe was falling apart. Europe became a huge slaughterhouse. Hitler and his armies, using the tactics of Blitzkrieg too over almost all of Europe. France fell in less than 6 Months.
Chapter 2:
John is a young man. He is wearing a black jacket and jeans. He has blue eyes and a scar in his face. He gained that scar during a fight against Alek. Alek was a jedi, like John. Before WWII, they were both training in the Vatican. Alek had called John on a duel.....
2 years ago, Vatican
John was wearing a black Jedi robe. Alek was an Afro-American who had great fighting abilities and was training in the Vatican.
John was trembling. He tried to persuade himself that he could win. Suddenly he heard a voice. Alek's voice.
'' Shall we start, so I can kick you ass.''
''Lets start''
Both Jedi pulled out their lightsabers. Soon the two lightsabers clashed. Alek used the force to push back John everytime that John tried to attack.
'' Come on John! Is this all you got? You are a joke!
Suddenly John attacked with fury Alek. Alek tried to defend, but John kicked him and threw away his lightsaber. As John was ready to deliver a blow, Alek used the force to take back his lightsaber and used it on John's face. John, wounded, could not resist Alek's force push. John had lost.
''So John, we lost?''
'' What a bastard......''
'' Well, this bastard just defeated you.''
2 years later
John remembered his days as Jedi. Now he had to hide from Axi's Forces. He was hiding in Greece. Metaxas policy of neutrality had not worked as John expected and Italy invaded Greece.
Chapter 3:
Although Greece tried to be netrual in WWII, Metaxas and King George II wanted the British Empire as an ally. Greece was a naval power and wanted the protection of the one who had the largest fleet and could protect Greece. That power was Britain.
That made Mussolini very angry. Mussolini also wanted a great success against an enemy. Hitler had already great victories against his enemies and Mussolini was jealous of Hitler's victories. So he asked Metaxas to surrender.
On the eve of 28 October 1940, Italy's ambassador in Athens, Emanuele Grazzi, handed an ultimatum from Mussolini to Metaxas. In it the Duce demanded free passage for his troops to occupy unspecified "strategic points" inside Greek territory. Greece had been friendly towards Nazi Germany, especially profiting from mutual trade relations, but now Germany's ally Italy was to invade Greece. Metaxas rejected the ultimatum with the words "Alors, c'est la guerre" (French for "Well, it's war."). In this he echoed the will of the Greek people to resist, a will that was popularly expressed in one word: "Ochi" (Greek for "No").
So the war started. Italian troops started their attack from Albania. However soon the Greek Army pushed Italy back to Albania and started taking over North Epirus ( South Albania).
Hitler was ready to betray Stalin and take over USSR. But he needed to destroy all opposition in the Balkans so he could focus on Stalin. So Hitler send his armies to take over Greece. Meanwhile Metaxas died and absolute ruler of Greece now was King George II.
Chapter 4:
John enters in a bar in Thessaly. The whole land is frozen. He just returned from the forest. The bar is wooden and has a fireplace. A few men are drinking Votka or Rum. The Barman, a bald man with a beard shouts at John.
'' What do you want kid?!''
'' A Rum. And some information.''
'' What information?''
'' About Jedi Master Kato.''
'' Come with me.''
'' Ok.''
The two men walk to the second floor, where they enter in a room. Once they enter, John sees Kato. Before he can talk, the Barman pulls out a gun and points it at John. Kato is a 30 year old man with red hair and blue eyes. He wears a Black Jedi Robe. Kato walks near John.
'' What do you want kid.''
'' I am a Jedi.''
Suddenly both the Barman and Kato laugh. John tries to find out what happens.
'' Why are you laughing?''
The Barman replies.
'' Kid, dont try to fool us. All Jedi are dead. The Armies and Assassins of Axis have let no Jedi alive. ''
'' I dont lie. Here is my lightsaber!''
As John pulls out his lightsaber, Kato tries to believe that a Jedi is alive. He cant believe it, yet he just sees a man with a lightsaber that says that he is Jedi. Kato tries to talk but he cant. After a few seconds he finds the will to speak to the boy.
'' What are you doing here? Are you hiding?''
''Yes. But Hitler right now is leading his troops in Greece. The Greek defense has fallen. Hitler will be in Athens in a few hours. So I have a plan to assassinate him. I want your help.''
The Barman start laughing again.
'' Kid, do you really think that we can assassinate Hitler?''
'' Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahaha!!!!!!!!
'' It is our only chance to end the war and save the order.''
'' Kid, you must be crazy.''
As the two men talk, Kato looks at the window and suddenly interrupts them.
'' Nazi Troops!! They are entering the Bar. Hide behind the sofa.''
'' I will not hide like a woman!!!''
John shouts.
Kato replies
'' Do you want your life kid?''
'' Ys, but-''
'' Then shut up and hide!!''
As the Nazi enter the Bar, the Rottenfurher (Commander of the Unit) sends three troops to guard the place and two to search the rooms. Then he and the main force of the Nazi forces leave the Bar.
After searching many rooms, the two Nazi Soldiers break the door of Kato's room.
'' Is anyone here?! ''
They shout.
They hear nothing. As the two go near the Sofa, Kato and the Barman silently kill the two Nazi with knifes. Then Kato whispers.
'' Kid, we must jump from the window.''
'' Are you crazy?! ''
'' No. ''
So the three men jump from the window and fall to the snow. The Barman shouts.
'' We must go inside the forest!!! Now!!''
So the company goes inside the Thessalian Forest.
Chapter 5:
Inside the Forest, 2 days later, Night
The Company had started a fire inside the forest. They are sitting near the fire and think about what they will do. Kato asks John.
''John, are you ready to go to Athens?''
'' Yes.''
The Barman interrupts them.
''I have nothing here anymore. So i will come with you.''
So the Company leaves for Athens.
Athens, 2 hours later
Kato, John and the Barman arrive in Athens. Athens, once center of the western world, birthplace of Democracy and Parthenon and Capital of the Kingdom of Greece is now occupied by the Nazi Forces.
The Company enters a small bar inside Athens. There, after a few hours, they manage to find the name of the Hotel where Hitler resides. That Hotel is
Beautiful Greece
Kato, before the Company starts its operation, talks with John one last time.
'' Boy, this may be the last time I see you. Are you ready to kick some Nazi ass?''
'' Yea. Lets kill Hitler!''
The Company makes its way to the Hotel, and after silently killing the Nazi guards, they go to the top of the Hotel. Once on top of the Hotel they locate the Room of Hitler, where Adolf Hitler is talking with some Generals.
They cut a hole in the glass roof, slowly and silently, but the glass falls through the recently cut hole, leaving them no other choice but to immediately throw half a dozen grenades after it. In the ensuing chaos, most of the Generals are killed, but Hitler escapes, leaving no choice for the three men but to go in after him.
They run inside the Hotel to find Hitler; hallway after hallway, corridor after corridor, the Comapany finds Hitler and forty SS troops. A massive battle erupts, and the SS gain more and more ground, yet the Jedi do not surrender. After he is mortally wounded, Kato throws grenades to the SS, and charges into enemy fire, killing all the SS and leaving a clear path to Hitler.
The Company charges in Hitler's room, and kills him on the spot. Then John and the Barman try to escape the Hotel, but a bunch of Nazi enter the room and kill them.
Chapter 6:
Soon after the death of Hitler, Stalin betrayes the Nazi and invades Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe. Meanwhile a civil war begins in Germany and the British Empire manages to free one European country after the other. In 1942 Germany is divided in four occupation Jones. Only Japan and Italy remain. in 1943 Italy has fallen to the allies and Japan has been nuked by American Forces. In 1945 the war ended.

Not that anyone would challenge you to dust your home or office with one hand tied behind your back, but you could with our Fuzzy Wuzzy Microfiber Mitt. This ingenious cleaning tool has two sides: A nubby chenille side attracts dust and cobwebs and a smooth suede-like side cleans, buffs and polishes. It's perfect for anything you want to dust without using chemicals, and it's especially useful on flat-screen TVs, computer monitors, audio equipment, lighting fixtures and tabletops.
We can help! Chat now with an expert.

Microfiber cleaning cloths are exceptionally efficient. The millions of tiny fibers in each strand attract, absorb and remove all kinds of dirt, dust and bacteria. Plus, microfiber naturally inhibits the spread of bacteria. Whereas traditional cotton cloths push around dirt and germs, microfiber traps it until washed.
It's also an environmentally friendly solution since it's reusable (rather than disposable) - and because it allows you to tackle many cleaning tasks without the need for harsh chemicals.
Microfiber allows you to clean larger surface areas before it has to be laundered. Once washed, it's renewed and ready to go again. To prolong it's effectiveness, do not use bleach or fabric softeners when laundering microfiber. Whenever possible, launder microfiber items by themselves, and never with towels or other items with a lot of lint. And never use high heat settings on microfiber.

"Our brothers in Islam:
Peace be on you and may God Almighty bless you.
From Makkah, close to the House of God, we would like to congratulate you on the commencement of the Eid Al-Fitr, asking God to make this Eid a happy one and full of prosperity and blessings for you all. The holy month of Ramadan just past was received with great happiness, and today we celebrate Eid El-Fitr after completing thirty days of fasting with faithful hearts. Eid El-Fitr is a great opportunity for us to pause and review the problems and difficulties that have afflicted the Islamic world, hindering its development and prosperity. We are saddened by the bloodshed in certain Muslim countries, a situation which could have been dealt with through cooperation and adherence to Islamic principles. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia works strenuously to spread the word and to follow Islamic roles and procedures, applying them to each activity in life in order to benefit and serve Muslims and Islam all over the world, and is concerned with building good relationships within the Islamic world in order to ensure peace for all mankind.
We call for all to join in the effort to bring peace and stability to the world, and are confident that the Islamic world can overcome all negative situations, especially since it possesses capable people, sources of power, and strategic positions. All Muslims must follow the right track and work sincerely under the umbrella of Islamic shari'ah which guarantees justice and moral freedom. It is to be hoped that peace, stability and prosperity will prevail worldwide, and that oppression, arrogance and injustice will disappear. As a primary objective, we must work rapidly towards the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, and bring an end to the Israeli occupation of Arab lands, in order to have security and prosperity in the Middle East.
Our brothers in Islam:
In conclusion, we would like to repeat our congratulations and wish all of you good health and peace."

The question is rather straight-forward. I consider a "traditional" tombstone as some sort of monument having an inscribed name and date of birth/death or age.
Ancient Egypt is thought to be the origination of the funeral tombstone, however the original name was Stele/Stela, and in plural stelae, comes from the latin, to stand. Stelae have been documented back to the first dynasty - 2890 B.C., they were used later by many number of other cultures. The highest recorded use is by Attica in Greece, example would be the Greece marble funerary stelae. The Roman uses of stele came from their expansion into Greece, in which they adopted some of the culture.

I just had a var I believed to be equal to
"" or
undefined. It turned out it was equal to
\r. I couldn't see this until I wrapped the var in quotes and outputted it to the console and I saw the line break. Is their any way I could have saw
\r rather than nothing? Perhaps wrapping it in some function which will output
\r or
\n etc.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I just had a var I believed to be equal to
For general you could use something like JSON:
How about a regex check?
Or a regex replacement for all carriage returns with a string:
You can also probably do an enumeration on the string and check the charCode to see if it equates to the carriage return one, then spit out the index in which it lives relative to the string.
EDIT: If you want to check if a string contains anything, then use
I don't know any built-in function.
If I suspect something like this, I generally put some recognizable characters around it -- like you did with quotes -- and also print the length, so if the length is greater than the number of characters I can see, I know there must be something invisible.
Occassionally when it's really puzzling I've written a little function to loop through the characters in a string and dump their numeric values. ASCII values less than 32 are often invisible.

They're one step closer this year...
This guys stats are so good, it's actually funny. He's a totally legit new-gen, no editors/cheats used. No wonder Ukraine got to the semi-finals of the World Cup that year. I would love to have him in my team!

Avoid playing your first leg at home!
I just thought this result was a bit unexpected for a world cup semi-final.
(I wasn't involved in this match, it was AI v AI)
Jamie O'Hara represents what national team?
He's played for Fenerbahce for over 5 seasons and has opted for Turkish citizenship. Who would of thought he would of chosen to play for the national team though?
He'll at least be able to talk with Colin-Kazim Richards.
At least Jamie can rest easy knowing he made 1 international appearance in his lifetime!
Saw this in the dying minutes of a win against Racing. Reminds me of waiting outside Irish class during 11a.m. break.
There's about 7 of them in it.
One of my juniors. You gotta love that name!
the point being he is a goalkeeping coach, despite playing striker all his life...
I know it is the 21st century and all, but the new openness about sexual preferences of my coaching staff is a little unexpected:
I get the feeling this guy won't be making too many controversial calls....
probably been shown many times but;
"Brazilian International" worth £27m playing in the German second tier?
I'm was in the top tier btw
Could he potentially have home and away reversed on the screen (compared to Britain anyway). American perhaps? Hence his initial comment would be right.
Not followed the discussion, but I think it gets reversed in the screen. So when the results show, the team that played last leg away is listed at home. Maybe that's how the draw was or something, which is why it shows like that.

This one made me laugh...
I thought the Sharks would be right at home!
Haha funny
ha Good one
I think the problem was that there wasn't enough water on the pitch
He's 37 and was given 1 year. Wigan are struggling in the Championship.
What a fall from grace, went from Real Madrid to Newcastle and then to Bristol City. He just took over from Leon Osman.

Well was it a shock or not???
This gave me a chuckle
haha love the formation ha still with one up front hoping for counter attaking
They just didn't tell you you were meant to be playing 6-a-side
What i like even more is that it took them to get down to 8 players before you scored
and it was refereed by Ovrebo he got 10 rating btw...
M Hoseth used to turn into a brilliant player back on one of the previous versions of the game, can't remember which. Great formation, that'll learn you to make your subs so early!
I just have to post this shot, I claim some sort of bias in the Player of the Month award...just kidding, but 10 goals in 3 games 9.6 rating and he comes...2nd??!?

"Sightseeing" seems like such a passive word; Massachusetts sightseeing should really be called "sight-experiencing". How else would you describe retracing the steps of the colonists, soaring through the trees on a canopy tour, reliving the excitement of the Revolutionary War, quacking like a duck on an amphibious land vehicle, seeing Boston by Segway, cruising Buzzards Bay, or taking a spooky Dead of Night Ghost Tour? You can even munch your way through the Cape Cod Potato Chip factory tour, take the most delicious ride during a Bike Farm Table weekend, or treat yourself to the Boston Brew Tour.

Master of Science in Business-Finance
Today's business climate demands individuals who are equipped to manage the intense world of finance. Meeting those demands requires a specialized graduate degree.
The Master of Science Business-Finance program provides motivated and talented students with a leading-edge program that includes advanced financial theory, practical business applications and an understanding of current research issues. Students will learn how to apply the latest tools and technologies of financial analysis and engineering to solve the challenging problems that they will confront in a global business environment.

The M.S. in Business-Finance program is a natural complement to an undergraduate degree in accounting. Students who complete this degree will have the additional credits necessary to meet the 150-hour requirement to sit for the Certified Public Accountant Examination in many states and to meet the 150 hour CPA licensure requirement in Maryland. Students who pursue the M.S. in Business-Finance are often preparing for professional certifications such as the Chartered Financial Analyst or Certified Financial Planner.

Ext.Array.forEach - redundant return statement
This is a minor point, but the return statement below is redundant because the native Array.forEach implementation has no return value, and if it did have a return value, then it would not be consistent with the non-native implementation which doesn't have the return statement.
As a side note, I'm not sure why the native implementation doesn't return the array. It would be nice if it did, then we would be able to chain forEach.
Ext.Array.forEach could also return the array, but then the api would not be conformant with the native api.
ExtArray = Ext.Array = { ... forEach: supportsForEach ? function(array, fn, scope) { return array.forEach(fn, scope); // <==== return not needed } : function(array, fn, scope) { var i = 0, ln = array.length; for (; i < ln; i++) { fn.call(scope, array[i], i, array); } } ...

5-year-old Eli Bonner is one of many kids diagnosed with autism in the Wiregrass.
He's also one of six, to receive a therapy scholarship.
"If we didn't have it he wouldn't be able to come," said Eli's grandmother Beverly Bonner
Eli receives two types of therapy at an affordable cost thanks to the National Listening Scholarship Foundation.
"We give those scholarships to low income families or do not have insurance and enough income to pay for behavior therapy and auditory training," said Executive Director Sabrina Kirkland.
The group is a non-profit, created last year to help cover the cost families run into when seeking services.
"Insurance for autism diagnose don't cover everything that families need," said The progress Center Executive Director Angie Marshall.
Eli's grandparents say the scholarship isn't just helping them financially it's also making a difference in Eli.
"There's just such a difference that you see in him everyday," added Bonner.
"He can make sentences where before he couldn't, He can relay his needs," explained Elli's grandmother Helen Granger.
Changes, they say mean a lot.
So far the group has awarded six scholarships this year and they hope to give out many more with the community's help.

Last instalment of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII video series explores new gameplay mechanicsWritten by: / / No Comments
Square Enix has released the final episode of its three-part 'Inside the Square' video series featuring key members of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII's development team discussing some of the interesting new gameplay mechanics at the heart of this upcoming RPG.
The game thrusts players into a scenario where the world will end in thirteen days, and each 24-hour cycle will be characterised by differing environmental conditions and NPC patterns depending on the time of day. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII also features a far more open world than previous entries in the Final Fantasy series so it's possible to reach practically any area you can see in the distance.
Take a look below:
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will be released for PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 11th in North America and February 14th in European territories. Head over here for El33tonline's previous coverage of this upcoming title from Square Enix's 1st Production Department.

A pollen particle has no charge so I cannot understand how the Lorentz force $\bar{F} = q \bar{E} + q(\bar{v} \times \bar{B} )$ could explain the event. I speculated that it is because of the electric field that is generated to the dipole with a charge in the TV and the distance, more here. I have not yet confirmed that it would attract the pollen particle. Any better ideas?
CRT displays have a fairly strong electric charge and this induces a dipole moment in the pollen particle itself causing it to be attracted to the screen.
Somewhat related, the hairs on the bodies of some bees become electrically charged and this attracts pollen particles. Exercise 51 on page 602 of this document http://cyber.gwc.cccd.edu/faculty/kstein/H_R_Ch_22.pdf will give you a ball park figure for the possible strength of this attraction. It assumes a neutral pollen particle.
I do not know to what special pollen your professor refers to, but pollen is often charged at least as this measurement described in the publication abstract found:
