Parenting from prison: The collateral damage of harsh mandatory sentences
Stephanie Nodd always wanted to be a mother.
Growing up around Mobile, Ala., she had a lot of nieces around her mom's house.
"They were always messing with their hair," she said. "I told myself, 'when I have kids, I want a boy.' No hair to mess with."
She had a few other ideas about parenting. She'd work if she had to, like the women who raised her, but she wanted to stay home. Then she developed a few ideas she regrets. She became "overprotective," she said, and did not want to depend on anyone, not even a man.
And so by 20 she was raising four boys on her own. Looking back, she says, she knows that was a mistake. It wasn't her only one.
By the time she was 22 she was in prison.
Each night, staring at the blank walls of her cell, she fell asleep thinking of home, worrying about her kids. She would exercise hard and go to sleep late, so there was less time to lay awake in pain.
"I cried a lot in the shower," she said. "I would walk the track and cry. Christmas time was hard, and so was their birthdays."
She took comfort in the fact that they were well cared for. The three oldest boys were sent to live with her mother. The fourth went to live with his dad and paternal grandmother. Stephanie's sister took in the newborn, a little girl named Jasmineh, born after Stephanie entered prison.
Edge of a wave
Stephanie and her kids were on the edge of an incarceration wave that pulled in thousands of parents and hundreds of thousands of children at the end of the last century. In 1991 there were 936,500 minor children with a parent in state or federal prison. By the end of 1999, there were 1,498,800, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics — more than a 50 percent leap in less than a decade.
That change can be traced back to the advent of "mandatory minimums," which dramatically changed how judges doled out prison terms. Prior to mandatory minimums, judges were expected to weigh circumstances when they issued sentences, including past offenses and the likelihood of re-offending.
But by the late 1980s, legislators and the public were fed up with rising crime rates, including the crack epidemic that ravaged American inner cities. Lawmakers began removing discretion in sentencing from judges' hands, and by 1994 — when California voters passed the state's famous three strikes law — state and federal mandatory minimum sentences had reached to an ever-wider array of offenses with ever-harsher penalties.
It took years for the impact of this policy shift to become evident. Year by year, the American prison population burgeoned, far outstripping any other country in the world. Corrections expenditures skyrocketed, putting a strain on state finances, and prisons became overcrowded.
Meanwhile, some began to take note of unforeseen effects on kids and families.
"U.S. crime policy has, in the name of public safety, produced more vulnerable families and probably reduced the life chances of their children," Christopher Wildeman of Yale University and Bruce Western of Harvard University argued in a 2010 study.
Mandatory minimums still have defenders, of course. Some view them as necessary for law enforcement investigations. Others credit them with crime rates across the U.S. now at near record lows. And the current rules enjoy the awesome force of inertia in American politics.

Dallas Hall | Assistant Coach
Alma Mater: Kennesaw State '12
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Office Phone: (864) 231-2012
Hall comes to Anderson after spending a season under Traquair at Wesleyan College in Macon, Ga., where Traquair was the head women's soccer coach. Together, the tandem brought in Wesleyan's largest recruiting class in the program's history of 17 players and added nine more wins than the previous year's team. During the season, Hall assisted Traquair on implementing "Kick ALS" night where the program raised over $1,700 for the fight against ALS.
"Dallas will be an excellent addition for our program and I am delighted he has decided to come on board," Traquair said. "He has many attributes that will make this group better on and off the field. He is a young coach that is very eager to learn and he understands how I like to play the game and how to implement our ideas to the players. We are ready to hit the ground running and take this program forward."
During his time at Wesleyan, Hall was also a soccer coach at Mount de Sales Academy in Macon where he coached middle and high school players. While managing equipment, travel and mentored players at all levels, he also coordinated practices for both middle school and high school squads.
Hall has some experience in American Football as well, spending a summer with the National Football League's Buffalo Bills as its Player Personnel/Management Intern where he assisted with the team's training camp at St. John Fisher College in 2012.
After his internship, Hall received his degree in Sports Management at Kennesaw State University where he was a member of the school's Dean's List all four years. As a student, he volunteered with various organizations on campus while working with professional sports franchises in the Atlanta Falcons and Arena Football League's Georgia Force.
Before stepping foot on KSU's campus, Hall was a four-year letterwinner in soccer during his prep career.
As a soccer coach, Hall has been certified by the American Sport Education Program (ASEP), Georgia Independent School Association (GISA) and VIRTUS Training, while earning his NSCAA National Diploma.

Elizabeth Gilbert's Epic Return to Fiction
The author's new historical novel spans a century and explores botany plus Graeme Simsion's debut novel 'The Rosie Project'
By Elizabeth Gilbert
Four years ago, a visibly nervous Elizabeth Gilbert took the stage at a TED Conference to talk about creativity. She described the pitfalls of writing another book following the massive success of her 2006 memoir, "Eat, Pray, Love," which chronicled her globe-spanning search for love and meaning in the wake of a painful divorce. The memoir sold more than 10 million copies in 46 languages.
"It's exceedingly likely that my greatest success is behind me," Ms. Gilbert said, drawing sympathetic titters from the crowd. "That's the kind of thought that could lead a person to start drinking gin at nine o'clock in the morning."
For a few years, it looked as though Ms. Gilbert was living out her prediction. Her follow up, "Committed," which delved into her marriage to the Brazilian she fell in love with at the end of "Eat, Pray, Love," failed to match the commercial or critical success of her breakout hit. It sold 640,000 copies. Some critics dismissed the book as flat and unoriginal and called it a naked attempt to cash in on the success of "Eat, Pray, Love." Even some of Ms. Gilbert's devoted fans lashed out, arguing that the question driving "Eat, Pray, Love" (will the heroine find love and happiness?) felt much more urgent and universal than the subject of "Committed" (will the heroine, now remarried, overcome her intellectual aversion to the institution of marriage?).
Now, with her latest work, "The Signature of All Things," Ms. Gilbert has tabled the subject of her last two books—herself. In a complete pivot, Ms. Gilbert has turned out the most ambitious and purely imaginative work in her 20-year career: a deeply researched and vividly rendered historical novel about a 19th-century female botanist.
The narrative spans nearly a century and unfolds in Peru, Amsterdam, London, Philadelphia and Tahiti. It hinges on the period's social upheavals and scientific and medical breakthroughs, and features cameos from historical figures such as the British explorer Captain James Cook, the botanist Joseph Banks and Alfred Russel Wallace, the naturalist who developed a theory of evolution in parallel with Charles Darwin.
Viking has high expectations for the book, and has ordered a first print run of 400,000 copies. "She always saw herself as a fiction writer," says Viking publisher Paul Slovak, who edits Ms. Gilbert's books. "She's coming home to her roots."
"The Signature of All Things" opens in Philadelphia in 1800 with the birth of Alma Whittaker, the daughter of a wealthy English botanist who made his fortune cultivating and selling exotic medicinal plants. Alma, who inherited her father's plain looks, sharp intellect and ambition, grows up studying plants in the greenhouses on her father's vast estate, and becomes a leading expert on North American moss. "Moss dines upon boulders, slowly but devastatingly, in a meal that lasts for centuries," Ms. Gilbert writes.
Ms. Gilbert spent three years researching the book. She traveled to London, Amsterdam and remote French Polynesian islands. She read accounts of 19th-century botanical exploration, interviewed a moss expert and studied letters from the period to absorb patterns of speech.
Occasionally, she shows off her command of Georgian street slang (in one dense string of insults, a character is described as an "impudent picaroon, macarel-backed shaver, jack-weighted hob"). Mostly, though, she tried to avoid the fustiness that clings to some historical fiction.
Ms. Gilbert always planned to return to fiction. Before the mega success of her memoir, she published a short story collection, "Pilgrims," in 1997, and a novel about lobstermen, "Stern Men," in 2000. In 2006, the year that "Eat, Pray, Love," was published, she signed a two-book deal with her publisher, Viking, for another nonfiction work and a novel.
At an early book signing in Toronto last month, Ms. Gilbert described struggling to write fiction after a 13-year pause. "It was almost like a language I had to learn again," she said.
Nerds in Love
'The Rosie Project' By Graeme Simsion
Graeme Simsion's first book, an IT reference guide titled "Data Modeling Essentials," cemented his reputation as one of the world's leading experts on database design and information modeling.
His new book, "The Rosie Project," has made him an unlikely new star in the publishing world. The novel, already an international bestseller, centers on a brilliant but socially inept geneticist's quest for love. It's being published in 37 languages and adapted into a feature film by Sony Pictures. Suddenly, Mr. Simsion, a 57-year-old Australian information technology specialist, has emerged as one of this year's most promising and original debut novelists.
Mr. Simsion never set out to write a romantic comedy. As a kid growing up in New Zealand and Australia, he dreamed of being a theoretical physicist. After getting his bachelor's degree in physics, he says he "realized he wasn't smart enough" to become the next Stephen Hawking. He found work as a computer operator for insurance companies. He realized he had a talent for database design and started his own IT consulting business, which he sold in 1999. That year, Mr. Simsion says he "read the book that changed my life"—Joe Queenan's "The Unkindest Cut," which details Mr. Queenan's quest to make a film for $7,000. Mr. Simsion decided to make his own low-budget film, a 90-minute drama.
The movie never sold, but Mr. Simsion discovered he had a knack for dramatic writing and dialogue. At age 50, he enrolled in an undergraduate screenwriting course and wrote a script that eventually morphed into a novel. The script featured a physicist who fails miserably at romance but becomes a romantic hero when he falls for a woman with a debilitating illness.
Two-and-a-half years into writing the screenplay, Mr. Simsion scrapped everything except for a slapstick scene he calls the Jacket Incident (the nerdy protagonist, offended at a maître d's insistence that he wear one of the restaurant's jackets, ends up humiliating the restaurant's bouncer with his martial arts skills). The drama became a comedy. Then Mr. Simsion realized the story would work better as prose because the central conflict —the fissure between how the protagonist sees the world and how the rest of the world sees him—would come across more powerfully in a novel with a first person narrator.
Mr. Simsion started the novel in early 2012 and dashed it off in seven weeks. It stars Don Tillman, a genetics professor whose hyper-regimented life leaves no room for spontaneity or romance. He eats lobster every Tuesday night at 6:38, obsessively calculates the body-mass-index of everyone he meets, and schedules 94 minutes to clean his bathroom. He tries to apply his data-crunching approach to finding a wife, and develops an elaborate survey to try to determine potential mates' IQs and fitness levels. He gets tangled up with a woman who violates all of his criteria: a chronically late, out-of-shape smoker.
Who Gets the Most Ink
How bestselling authors stack up by announced first printings this fall:
Pretty Big Margaret Atwood's final book in her MaddAddam trilogy: 150,000 copies. Helen Fielding's newest Bridget Jones book, 'Mad About the Boy:' 250,000.
Big James Patterson's "Cross My Heart," his latest Alex Cross novel: 800,000.
Bigger Malcolm Gladwell's 'David and Goliath:' 1 million. 'Si-cology 1,' a memoir from Si Robertson, the weird uncle from 'Duck Dynasty:' 1 million
Even Bigger Stephen King's 'Doctor Sleep:' 1.1 million.
Humongous John Grisham's 'Sycamore Row:' 1.5 million.
Mr. Simsion has been married for 24 years to a psychiatry professor and author of erotic fiction, Anne Buist. They have two children. He based Don partly on former IT colleagues who were awkward around women, he says.
In June 2012, the Australian imprint Text Publishing bought "The Rosie Project'" and began shopping it to foreign publishers, who pounced. The novel caused a stir at the Frankfurt Book Fair last fall, and is being published in 41 countries. It sparked a bidding war among six U.S. publishers. Simon & Schuster won rights with a high six-figure advance, a huge sum for a foreign author and first-time novelist. Mr. Simsion was stunned. In an unusual show of confidence, Simon & Schuster recently bought rights to Mr. Simsion's next two books—a sequel to "The Rosie Project" and another novel. Mr. Simsion just started writing the sequel.
Mr. Simsion sold the film rights this past April to Sony Pictures, and signed on to write the screenplay. He's gone back to the old script that grew out of his undergraduate screenwriting course. He's polishing it and rewriting it again, to make it more like the novel.

Wife loves it.. goes from warm to hot with a push of the botton
Great vest!by Jackson - verified purchaser
I got this vest for my wife, for the cold MN winters. She looks very good in it and it has enough of a fitted look to add to the stylish appearance. Since I am almost her size, I also had occasion to try the vest 2 times while deer hunting. The vest at 75% was VERY warm, but only lasted about 2.5 hours in -5 weather. Since that day, I tried not wearing as many layers on top, I got cold very quickly. A few days later, at 25% it was adequately warm with layers and lasted for at least 4 hours in -10 weather...after that I got off the deer stand. FWIW, this vest works best when used over the bottom-most base layer so the heat can have little distance to travel before it hits your skin.
Mobile Warming Heated Classic Vest Reviewby Michelle - verified purchaser
I love my heated vest, I ride to work at 4am in Southern California and 50% works great for me. I also run a Cold Storage facility and use it in the -10 freezers. love it so much got the gloves this past Christmas.
The Mobile Warming Classic Heated Softshell Vest is available in men's and ladies sizes. The men's version is available in three color ways, black, midnight blue, and gunmetal. The ladies vest is also available in three color ways, black, wine, and sapphire blue. Both the men's and ladies versions are constructed using a stretchy, breathable, water resistant fabric and have three heat panels; one on each side of the chest and one in the back. There are a total of 3 pockets on the exterior of the vest including a chest pocket and two hand warmer pockets, one of which holds the controller. Inside the vest you will find what appears to be another pocket but it is actually just access to the electronics. Don't put anything in here or you may have a heck of a time getting it back out. Mobile warming combines their controller and battery into one unit, so this little box is all you'll have to carry. Initial charge takes twelve hours, but after that, it will charge very quickly. Charging the battery can also be performed using the optional D/C charger. This is very handy for touring applications because you can charge an extra battery while you ride down the road, by adding a D/C socket to your motorcycle. Once the green lights indicate a fully charged controller, simply plug this wire located in this hidden pocket within the hand warmer pocket into the battery controller. You can check the charge state of the controller at any time by pressing the button one time with the controller powered off. The controller will also indicate the charging status when it is plugged into the charger. To activate the controller, press and hold the button until the unit powers on, then press the button repeatedly until your desired setting is reached. Press and hold the button again to shut the system off. Remember, the controller will only power on when it is plugged into a garment, so if you are trying to turn the controller on and it isn't working, it's probably just all your fault. Double check to make sure you have the controller plugged in all the way. One of the aspects of this setup that sets it apart from other brands of battery heated gear for me is the battery life. This battery will last up to ten hours on the low setting which is quite a bit longer than some of the other products out there. For the longest possible battery life, make sure to get a snug fit with heated items. The closer the proximity you have to the elements, the lower the temperature setting is needed to keep you warm and the longer the battery lasts.

Styling Soiree
Power couple Ashleigh and Metin Serdan rolled out the red carpet for the opening of their 2,300-square-foot Ashtin Salon in Corona del Mar Village, then treated guests to tasty nibbles, wine and Champagne, and a catwalk show featuring the hottest looks in fashion, hair and beauty. The modern New York-style Ashtin (a portmanteau of the couple's first names) is a one-stop shop for glam girls, offering everything from hairstyling to mani-pedis to a range of beauty-related products for purchase. Guests who prebooked appointments are helping the American Cancer Society—10 percent from the cost of each service will be donated to the nonprofit. And we'd say that's in good fashion.

GEARY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- In a bizarre twist, a witness for the prosecution in a fatal hit-and-run case in Geary County changed his story on the stand Tuesday and says he does not remember contacting authorities and identifying his cousin as the suspect who struck and killed a motorcyclist on Interstate 70.
Rodney Leroy Stockstill Sr., 51, of St. Joseph Missouri, is accused of hitting a motorcyclist on I-70 and fleeing the scene, leaving the victim with fatal injuries. His preliminary hearing was held Tuesday at the Geary County courthouse.
Stockstill is a truck driver who works for a company out of Doniphan County, Kansas and was traveling through Geary County on a route he took several times a week, officials said.
On August 24, 2012 at 3 AM, Geary County deputies responded to I-70 mile post 310 west bound off-ramp to the rest area approximately 13 miles east of Junction City for a possible injury accident.
Dispatch stated that there was a man lying on the ground next to a motorcycle who was not moving. Passersby had found the victim and called 911.
Officers arrived and found Bradey Weaver, 28, of Toledo, Ohio, suffering from serious head injuries. Weaver was on a road trip to Las Vegas at the time of the deadly accident.
He was rushed to the emergency room at Geary Community Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Officials later revealed that Weaver was killed in a hit-and-run when his 2006 Harley Davidson motorcycle was struck from behind. The Geary County Sheriff's Office asked for the public's assistance gathering information on the case and it remained under investigation for several months. In early November, Stockstill was named as the suspect.
During Tuesday's hearing, the state revealed that the Geary County Sheriff's Office was tipped off to Stockstill's possible involvement in the fatal crash by one of his family members but in court, the relative told a different story.
Skylar Lutz, a former investigator with the Geary County Sheriff's Office who worked on the hit-and run case, said she was contacted in early October 2012 by Stockstill's cousin, Michael Douglas Fones, who said Stockstill confided in him after the accident and confessed.
Lutz said Fones told her over the phone that Stockstill told him that he was Westbound on I-70 around 2:30 AM on August 24, 2012 and it was pouring rain and he was in the "slow lane" in his freight liner when suddenly, he saw taillights in front of him and hit a motorcycle "very hard" before he had time to react. During her testimony, Lutz said Fones told her that Stockstill said he saw the motorcycle veer off onto the side of the road but he didn't stop because he didn't want to get in trouble.
Geary County investigators later met with Fones in person and Lutz said they went over Stockstill's alleged confession and had Fones make a written statement about what his cousin told him about the crash. The written statement was presented as evidence. Lutz's former supervisor, Sgt. Anthony Ricks corroborated her testimony when he took the stand.
But when Fones got on the witness stand, he denied ever having a conversation with his cousin about an accident and was adamant that he did not remember anything he told Geary County investigators over the phone or in person, saying he has a "bad memory." It was a tense exchange as Deputy Geary County Attorney John Taylor tried to unsuccessfully jog Fones' recollection of his own actions. Fones said he did not remember making a written statement when he met with investigators but recognized his handwriting on the document when it was handed to him in the courtroom.
Fones admitted that he's been dealing with some mental health issues when asked about it by the defense.
Stockstill's boss, Bill Rush, testified that around the time of the accident, Stockstill told him that he struck several deer outside of Hoisington, Kansas, explaining damage to the front of his truck on the passenger side bumper and grill. Even though there was no fur or blood on the truck, Rush said he did not question the damage because Stockstill said it was raining heavily when he hit the deer, which would have washed everything away. He said the insurance company did not find anything suspicious when they evaluated the damage from the reported deer collision and paid for the repairs to Stockstill's truck.
The preliminary hearing will continue March 21 with testimony from a Geary County Sheriff's Deputy who could not make Tuesday's hearing due to surgery.
Stockstill is out of jail on bond.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Jessica Kellner, Editor
remodeling, redecorating, home decor, recycled decor, DIY projects, DIY recycling decor, DIY home projects, reclaimed, Jessica Kellner
Whether it's a new piece of art or furniture or even some new shelves or organizational bins, things that help us redecorate or organize our homes can make us feel refreshed—especially as spring rolls around! I think new decor is even more fun and satisfying when we've had a hand in making or renovating it ourselves. Sure, I like the couch and loveseat my husband and I picked out at the furniture store, but I always brag about the antique dining room set and buffet we spied at a local auction, bought for just $50 and refinished with sandpaper and low-VOC paint. I'm fond of the framed vintage New Yorker covers I bought from a street vendor in New York, but I love the hanging artwork we made ourselves out of four canvases, paint and hemp twine.
DIY home decor projects aren't just fun—they're also affordable and offer that "thrill of the hunt" feeling. You didn't just pick up that piece of furniture at Target. No, you had the incredible vision to pick it out at the secondhand store and recognize its post-renovation potential! You didn't spend $800 on a piece of cool wall art. You made your own amazing art using stuff from around the house!
Luckily for those of us who aren't necessarily always inspired on our own, several bloggers out there are filled with fantastic ideas for smart home decorating and secondhand renovating. If you're looking for inspiration, I suggest you check them out (in addition to Natural Home & Garden, of course!)
Above: Centsational Girl's Tiered Wine Barrel Planter
1. Centsational Girl
Kate, a northern California blogger who describers herself as a "bargain hunter, design lover and incurable DIYer" offers so many fabulous and adorable remodeling and decorating projects, it's hard to choose any one to talk about! We're including the outdoor cabana makeover she did in the upcoming issue of Natural Home & Garden, but I also love her DIY organizing projects (such as the homemade laundry drying rack) and smart furniture makeovers (like this kelly green desk). But the best thing Centsational Girl has going for her is a great can-do attitude. She's constantly finding inspiration in the unexpected and putting it to use in her home.
Above: Young House Love's gallery postcard wall 2. Young House Love
Sherry and John are two "DIY dorks" who share every detail as they renovate their 50-year-old house for modern-day living. John and Sherry always ask how they can do it themselves, do it better, do it greener and do it cheaper—with fantastic results. They share just about everything, from how to clean the whole house quickly to how to paint furniture to how to keep a good attitude during remodels. Sherry and John's very readable posts make you feel like you're seeing a little slice of their adorable family's life (they have a 1-year-old) and make you feel that if they can do it, you can do it (if you follow their very thorough instructions). 3. House Tweaking
Design lover and mother of soon-to-be three Dana writes about just about everything in her life—including product pics, maternity workouts and holiday decor along with the main renovation posts—as her family has remodeled a home, sold it and now prepares a smaller space for simple but stylish living. I like the personal nature of her blog and her quick and easy transformations. One of my favorites of her many projects is the DIY Fence Board Headboard, pictured above.

Site seems to be down, but if you're in need of good and cheap cables, this is quite a deal!
Don't Do It! I have a stereo that I ordered a month ago and it is still "in processing" according to 1saleaday. Please see http://www.consumeraffairs.com/online/1saleaday.html.
EDIT: I also bought several low cost items that shipped ok. But I am reading about a high number of complaints, that are similar, if not exactly the same as mine. Caveat Emptor.
I ordered two items in the last week and both have already shipped, one due to arrive tomorrow. They've been slow at times, but I've never had a problem with returns/refunds or any other hassles. Along with woot, they are the ONLY other deal a day site I trust. This IS a great deal. I need an HDMI cable, but not 6! Anyone wanna share. Oh, yeah. They now have free shipping.
Gold tip! High speed! 3D capable! That must mean this cable is good! But if you want a REALLY good cable you should buy the overpriced Monster cables because more expensive means better!!
Thanks OP, just picked a set up!
yea...1saleaday can be SUPER slow at times... I ordered two items on the same day on Jan 7th... one I got in about a week..the other one still hasn't even shipped out and it's the 29th.. When I emailed customer service they stated that it takes 10-15 business days...which it is now well outside the range of.. so if you need these SOON then you may want to look elsewhere.. if you can wait then they are good deal. Also picked up a few HDMI cables from Meritline which are just as cheap (but once again they take awhile to get to you).
I'll go out on a limb and say that personally I have had 2-3 of these cheap HDMI cables fail on me. If I wiggle them enough I can usually get a good signal but I can tell that something has gotten lose inside their casing. I would stick with monoprice if you really care about cables. Super high quality for what cables should actually be priced at.
Thank goodness. My contractor mounted my flat screen TV almost exactly 6' 1" from my 7.1 receiver, so the standard 6' cables have been problematic.
Lesson to you all: think about standard cable length before you mount your TV! I never would've considered it until running into this problem. I put it where it looked great, and then proceeded to find out my error.
@charlesp2009: THESE AREN'T ANTIVIRUS SO MY CABLE CAN'T PROTECT MY TV FROM MY DVR'S VIRUSES. I DON'T WANT ANY TROJANS IN MY SAMSUNG
@charlesp2009: I was going to reply with a scathing response, until I noticed your "/s" at the end! Whew! I sure would have looked stupid!
In for one (six.) I've ordered from them quite a few times, and save for the long wait, never had a problem. No worse than any woot sent by smartpost!
These are complete garbage, I only buy Monster Cable and you will too once you read this:
@robearlbms: Mine came today. Looks like pretty quick shipping to me.
@morriea: Have you tried any of them out yet? I've only ever had one hdmi cable DOA, but you never know.
@rprebel: I tried 2 of them and no issues. These are higher quality cables than the same type of deal I have gotten from Newegg. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Pau-France) – Former Sheridan College General All-American, Moustapha Diarra has signed a professional contract to play basketball for the Élan Béarnais Pau-Orthez in his native France. After two years on the court for the Sheridan Generals, Diarra went on to become a two-year letter-winner for the University of San Francisco. While at San Francisco, Diarra helped lead the Dons to the quarterfinals of the 2011 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament in his final season.
FOOTBALL - The Sheridan Broncs will be the only local team to play at home tomorrow as they host the Cheyenne South Bison the Broncs are 1-1 coming off last weeks 20-6 loss at Natrona county.
Broncs Head coach Don Julian says the Broncs learned a lot during the game in Casper last Friday.
And in playing in their first big 4-A game for most of the players it was an eye opening experience.
LADY GENERALS VOLLEYBALL - The Sheridan college Lady Generals volleyball team dropped a four game match against Central Wyoming in the Hoffman dome last night.
Central took the opening game the Lady Generals won game two but the Rustlers took control of the match and went onto win game three and then closed it out in game four.
Lady Generals Head coach Jennifer Wietzel says lack of consistent play hurt the Lady Generals last night.
The Buffalo Bison football team traveled to Worland Friday night to take on The Warriors in their opening game of the 2011 campaign.
The Bison got two rushing touchdowns from Dylan Marton and a third on a pass from quarterback Colin Rodriguez to Kalob Rodriguez.
The Bison offense took some time to gel but the defense seemed to be ready to go from the opening kick. After a scoreless first quarter, the offense finally got rolling in the second quarter when Marton scored on a five-yard run and kicker Wyatt Witty added the PAT to give Buffalo a 7-0 lead.
BRONC FOOTBALL - The Bronc football team dropped a tough hard fought game at Natrona county Friday night.
It was a great defensive battle most of the night with Natrona breaking through for two touchdowns in the 4th quarter to pull away and beat the broncs 20-6, Broncs Head coach Don Julian.
The game changer may have come late in the first half with Natrona up 3-0 the NC defense stopped the Broncs twice at the one yard line in the closing seconds of the half to keep the Broncs from taking the lead.
LARAMIE - Wyoming coach Dave Christensen is expecting more excitement from his team this season despite starting a true freshman quarterback.
Christensen says the Cowboys have more playmakers than they've had over the past two seasons.
Freshman Brett Smith, of Salem, Ore., will lead the offense after winning the starting quarterback job during training camp.
Smith is only the third true freshman since 1974 to start at quarterback for the Cowboys. He is one of nine true freshmen who are expected to see playing time on offense, defense and special teams.
The Sheridan Broncs face Natrona County Friday night.Natrona County wins 20-6.
Greybull wins big against Big Horn 38-6.

Horton Hatches An Ad
Fifty-five years ago, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" introduced readers to Cindy-Lou and the rest of the Whos—and continued the bookshelf reign of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. What is less known is that before he became a famous author, he had a successful career as an advertising illustrator. (A selection of his work is on the website for the Mandeville Special Collections Library at the University of California, San Diego, at libraries.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dsads.) Many of the ads bear his trademark humor and fantastical creatures. To paraphrase the author: Oh, the thinks he could think!

Is these any open source tools I can use that will enable multi user editing on a file geodatabase? Thank you!

The new latest on Seth :)
I was with Seth for more than 2 hours today, a precious time as always. He is SO HUGE! He has big ol' jowls and pudge everywhere! He is increasingly relational, and a few times today it really seemed like he was on the verge of smiling (again, we all have to wear masks, so he doesn't get to see smiles much). The nurse said he smiles in his sleep a lot! He is such a cuddle-bug, loving every one who visits his room, looking very interested in his surroundings when picked up and given a different vantage point.
He likes to hold up his fuzzy blond head, but it's a LOT of head to hold up so is quite wobbly - which does not deter him in the least! He's still loving his mobile and its beautiful music (truly, it's a great mobile!), and I noticed he picked one particular flower-shaped part out and followed it around almost the entire circuit, even moving his head to keep track with it. I love him so much.
The babes at home are precious and smiling and "talking" and laughing. They crack themselves up. :) I love them all so much, too!
Beautiful pink-cheeked Marcie is, as always, the most vocal, with intonation and everything, turning her head and body to see what she wants to see, and still sleeping a lot - except when we want her too, of course!! We are trying so hard to keep her awake longer periods during the day, otherwise she wants to chat and smile the night away, when none of us really feel like visiting. :) Gavin was up with her for a couple of hours the other night and said, "It's a good thing she is so cute!"
Handsome, strapping Will is the most placid and cuddly overall, loving nothing more than to be held close when he's sleepy, but when he has a "felt need" he lets loose with a sudden, bone-tingling scream that shocks all our systems! "Where there's a Will, there's a wail," I wrote on our whiteboard out in the living room. Despite his capacity to wail, he is the only one who will lie completely at rest for a long time on the changing table, play mat, or in the bathtub, happily cooing, talking, smiling and looking, with his thick limbs at ease. (Other times, though, he flails around and plays like the others constantly seem to.) He loves to sit straight up in our laps and calmly look around, checking out the world. They all seem to love bobble-heading around, and it never ceases to be adorable!
David is the most devoted to the heads-up/looking around position, perhaps because he is the boy with the smallest head and has been home 3 weeks longer than any of the others. He doesn't seem to miss a beat. He is very active, perhaps the most of all 5. He is the most vocal boy. He is also the most laughing baby so far with the most ready smile for anyone in view, even if they/we are not looking at him. Sometimes he coyly ducks his head with a huge grin when we talk and smile back at him. He LOVES to watch Isaac make faces and noises and dance around in front of him. But when he's tired he starts to act a little frantic and wants nothing more than a tight swaddling and being laid in his [now recalled] Fisher-Price cradle. His eyes droop shut immediately.
Gracie is the embodiment of adorable tiny-ness. Everything about her is plump, perfect and tiny - except her eyes, which are huge! She loves to talk to the animals in the mobile over one of our big swings, and she'll "tell us all about it" when sitting up in our laps and holding her head up like a big girl. Her fists go straight up as soon as she is un-swaddled after sleeping, and she gets a very serious furrowed-brow expression of concentration when she is feeling disturbed in her little person. Her wail is truly impressive, given her size, but she only uses it as needed to insist on food when hungry or demand soothing when it's time to sleep. She is as pink as a rose, a blessed thing to see as she is off oxygen all day long now.
We have Grace's pulmonology appointment today. We pray we can discontinue her oxygen and medications altogether. She certainly SEEMS to be thriving!
Please pray for us between 6 and 11 pm our time. It's overwhelming then, especially for Gavin as he's trying to work full-time now, comes home tired, and is the main parent responsible for Isaac's school work, eating, bath, bed, story time, etc. When he finally gets Isaac to sleep he has to face 4 fussy babies: the proverbial "witching hour" is more like 5 hours at our house! He also has to get up early in the morning to get Isaac ready for school and there on time, no matter what the middle of the night feedings and baby care have been like (thank God, it's usually not much of an issue, bless volunteers!). I don't know any man who would love this schedule and its demands. I am SO proud of him! What a loving daddy and husband he is, and what an incredible work ethic he has!
On that note I'll sign off. Love and gratitude to all of you who are encouraging, blessing, praying, working, and LOVING babies along with us!

Carrie, thanks so much for the very detailed description of each of the babies. I miss them and can't wait to get back in March. I had my Tdap shot yesterday as mine was about to expire.ReplyDelete
Love to all,

I concur with the rest of the comments. The descriptions, the actions and what each and every baby and Issac are up to was precious. Thank you for continuing the blog along with all the responsibilities you have. God definitely picked the right parents for these 6 kids! I have enjoyed since Day 1 (and a little before) reading all the updates and progress. We continue to pray here in West Chester, Ohio.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 9, 2013 at 8:12 AM
Adding my thanks for this great update. Good news certainly blesses my day, too. Think of you all often during the day, and pray when I do, but will try for extra prayers during the 'witching hours'. Can't imagine how all that pandemonium plays out - hope you two get a little time away now and again to save your sanity.ReplyDelete
THANK YOU, Lord, for Your continued blessings. Please be with little Seth as he undergoes tests and procedures, and keep him safe and bring him through with flying colors. Your mercy and grace amaze us, Lord. Thank You for all You are. Amen. NKL

Yes! Aunt Jonelle agrees that it is so much fun to hear details about my nieces & nephews since I can't experience them in person. Thanks for taking the time to do that! We love you and pray for you often (and Mari waves from a distance...).ReplyDelete
Thanks for the update - I loved reading about each baby's new tricks! Praise God for helping you through those long nights via love and baby cuteness. :-) I'm praying he will sustain you and keep those little ones growing just as they should!ReplyDelete
Still Praying in Dayton, Ohio.....oh how I would love to be there to help with the babies!!! Thank-you too for all the updates.. I just love hearing about the little things the babies do...I pray for the medical team to continue to have the wisdom form God, to do the best for Seth,,I pray for all the Babies as they grow and develop... prayers for all the wonderful help sent by God to help this special family... AND ESPECIALLY for The Special Dad and Mom You have chosen, to be the parents of these special little Babies....ReplyDelete
God Please give them all they need to get through each day with You by their side..God Give Gavin some rest in you, and fill him
with Your Peace the passes all our Understanding... Amen
So glad to hear a decision has been made regarding Seth's feeding tube...another step closer to getting that chubbykins home with his siblings. It's so amazing how each little one has their own personality, likes and dislikes. While all born at the same time they are indeed little individual people! I will pray particularly for Gavin, for some rest of mind and body and continued patience!ReplyDelete
Ah "witching hour", we know that one all too well! We still "witch" a bit here, but it's really only from about 6:00-:6:45 at most. It DOES get better especially when you can drop those middle of the night and late night feeds. When we finally started doing our final feed at 8 pm it was as if we got a bit of ourselves back! Your sweeties are not too much younger than ours so it will happen before you know it. In the mean time, hang in there! Great news about ditching that oxygen and making progress with Seth.ReplyDelete

Recently our lecturer told us that it is an unsolved mathematical problem if the following while loop aka iteration ever terminates. Unfortunately I forgot to ask him what it is called. If someone recognizes this "problem" I would be glad to know what it is called.
Let $n$ be a natural number (if I remember correctly). Calculate the following.
while (n > 1) {
if (n % 2 == 0) {
n = n/2;
} else {
n = 3 ∗ n + 1;

Where do you configure or what command do I use to mount device at boot? Is it in the file /etc/fstab ?
migrated from serverfault.com Nov 19 '11 at 19:02
This question came from our site for system and network administrators.
You need to make an entry in your /etc/fstab for the device that you want to mount at boot. The exact entry depends on the device you are mounting and the options you want to have applied. The format of the file is
A basic example would be
This will mount the device known as
A more advanced example is:
This will mount the partition/device with the UUID show above as the root filesystem. This is often used with multipath devices. The relatime option modifies how the access time is set on the file.
The manpage on your local system is the best resource for options:

My toddler loves this and it works for adults as a weeknight meal as well. I do not use the food processor though. I am afraid it would be too homogenous and the texture of the carrots is needed. It doesn't take long to dice everything up by hand. It also freezes well. We have half with a salad for a family dinner and I freeze the rest for a quick lunch on a later date for my daughter.

From EatingWell: September/October 2007, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)
Very finely chopping onion, mushrooms and carrots in the food processor is not only fast—it makes the vegetables hard to detect for picky eaters. They also form the base for the sauce of this ground beef skillet supper. Make it a meal: Serve with a green salad.

I used regular beef broth and sour cream instead of the healthier versions suggested. I am a "dumper" with seasonings, so our dish had plenty of flavor. I also use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. In my experience, garlic powder adds more flavor than fresh. I know this must be killing some of you out there! Sorry. I did measure the thyme. All of my kids loved this recipe.

Garlic powder adds plenty of
Garlic powder adds plenty of salt. Pass. I use lots of fresh garlic - never less than four cloves.
This was kinda a bland recipe the carrot it in made it sweet and sort of awkward
this was terrible. We added cheese and salt for the kids to eat it and chile and salt for the adults. definitely needs some adjustments

Meeting Rooms Policy
Cary Memorial Library welcomes public use of its meeting rooms in keeping with the library's mission to provide the Lexington community with materials, resources and services that promote lifelong learning and cultural enrichment, free and open to all.
General Guidelines
Meeting rooms are available to civic, cultural, charitable and educational groups and organizations that have a substantial connection to the Lexington community and are engaged in activities consistent with the library's mission.
Priorities for using the library's meeting rooms have been established in keeping with the library's mission and service goals:
- Library-sponsored programs and those offered by groups and organizations affiliated with the library
- Town of Lexington departments and committees
- Non-profit neighborhood and community-based groups, civic groups (such as Scout organizations and League of Women Voters), and non-profit and non-commercial organizations from the Town or serving the needs of the Lexington community
Meeting rooms may be used by political groups for meetings of an organizational nature. They may be used for public forums, debates, and candidates' nights. Meeting rooms are not available for private meetings or functions such as parties or play groups. Meeting rooms shall not be used for commercial purposes, for the solicitation or development of business, or for profit.
Public use of the library's meeting rooms must be subordinate to the need to provide a safe, peaceful and respectful environment in which to read and study. No use of the meeting rooms will be allowed that is likely to disturb library patrons in their customary use of library facilities, impede library staff in the performance of their duties, or endanger patrons, staff or the library building or collections.
In allocating the use of meeting rooms, the library and its Board of Trustees shall not discriminate on the basis of the political or religious beliefs of applicant groups, or on any other constitutionally or statutorily prohibited basis. The library does not advocate or endorse the viewpoints expressed during meetings or by meeting room users.
Exceptions to this policy may be made at the discretion of the library Director in consultation with the Board of Trustees as they deem in the best interest of the library and the community.

Use & Care of Facilities - General Principles
All meetings, programs, and activities held in library meeting rooms must be free and open to the public.
Groups using library meeting rooms shall not:

- Food preparation is not allowed in the meeting rooms.
- All food (previously prepared) and drink must be confined to the Large Meeting Room and adjoining kitchen or the Learning Center. Groups are responsible for cleaning up after use; leftover food should be removed by the organization.
- Kitchen access is limited to groups using the Large Meeting Room.
- State law prohibits smoking or use of alcohol or illegal substances in public buildings.

- The library Director and Board of Trustees reserve the right to determine, in their reasonable discretion, whether any proposed use of a meeting room will require a police detail or other extraordinary police protection. In making this determination, the Director and Trustees may consider the contents of the application and such other information as they deem appropriate, such as the history of the group's meeting room use in the library or the history of the group's use of meeting facilities elsewhere, and may consult with the Police Department. If the Director and Board determine that police protection will reasonably be necessary, the group seeking to reserve the room shall be required to pay to the Town in advance of the meeting the anticipated cost of such police protection.
- The name, address, and/or phone number of Cary Memorial Library may not be used as the official address or headquarters of organizations using library meeting rooms. In issuing posters, press releases, or other publicity, groups should make clear that their programs are not sponsored, co-sponsored or approved by the library. The following language may be added to programs listed in the library's Calendar of Events: "This program has not been sponsored by Cary Memorial Library."
- The Town of Lexington, Cary Memorial Library, its Board of Trustees, the library Director, or employees assume no responsibility for the loss, theft, or damage of any property of any group, individual, or organization using library facilities.
- Groups using meeting rooms agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Town of Lexington, Cary Memorial Library, and their employees, officer, agents, and representatives, from any and all suits, actions, claims, or demands of any nature arising out of or brought on account of any injuries or damages sustained by any person by a consequence or result of the use of the room, its furnishings, or its equipment.

Kimi Raikkonen is adamant Lotus have what it takes to be the team to end Red Bull's reign this season
The Finn returned to Formula One last season with Lotus and tasted success when he took the chequered flag at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
It was a strong finish to the Championship, which saw Raikkonen finish all but one of the 20 grands prix in the points. His points-scoring run put him third in the standings.
Raikkonen is keen to build on that in his second season with Lotus and says there is no reason why the team cannot be the ones to end Red Bull's three-year run.
"It's clear from working with them that they are racers, and you can see in their history that they've won Championships," he said. "Nothing I saw last year made me think that another Championship was impossible in the future.
"Of course, there is some pretty tough competition out there and everyone wants to win. The team have beaten everyone before and there's nothing to say they can't do it again."
The Finn highlighted one area in which Lotus need to up their game but concedes it is the complete package that must be quicker.
"We've tried to improve on all areas and for sure if we qualify higher up then it will help us win more races but it's the whole package which we want to be faster and hopefully we have done that."

Janye McKinney, a rising 7th grader at the Rochester School of the Arts, clears an area during an archaeological dig on the SUNY Geneseo campus. She is among 52 middle-school students from the Rochester City School District participating in the Rochester Young Scholars Academy at Geneseo summer camp.
GENESEO, N.Y. - Middle-school-aged Indiana Joneses from the Rochester City School District are at SUNY Geneseo through July 29 doing real archaeological work at a site on campus believed to be the location of a prehistoric hunting camp.
The 52 students are part of the Rochester Young Scholars Academy at Geneseo (RYSAG), and the two-week residential "D.I.G. Camp" (Discovering the Iroquois) is designed to interest them in science and history by participating in three courses: Excavation; Archaeology/Numerics Lab and History; and Research and Rhetoric. It's the fifth year the college has conducted the camp.
"We had a similar archaeological theme at the 2008 camp and it was so successful, we decided bring it back this year," said Susan Norman, camp director and director of Geneseo's Xerox Center for Multicultural Teacher Education. "The students in 2008 actually unearthed projectile points believed to be 4,000 to 6,000 years old from a prehistoric camp so the students are back on the site now to see what other treasures they can bring to the surface. Most of our campers will know little about archaeology but they likely have heard about Indiana Jones and will quickly learn about the science involved in uncovering our past."
Geneseo faculty members are teaching the students to conduct an archaeological dig; to identify evidence; document the site through digital photography, mapping and mathematical analysis; think critically to connect clues through contextual and cultural hints, library based research and scientific method in an archaeology lab; use state-of-the-art technology; and practice and improve public speaking skills by creating a museum exhibit to be presented to interested stakeholders. Geneseo undergraduate students and Rochester City School District staff are participating as counselors.
VIDEO: Rochester City School District social studies teacher Kristen Pasquarella discusses an archaeological dig she supervised during the first week of the camp.
The camp will culminate in a graduation ceremony July 29 following a town hall presentation where the students will showcase their work. The RYSAG program continues during the school year through a Saturday school program at the Rochester Public Library, where Geneseo education faculty and students do academic follow-up with the RYSAG students involved in the summer camp to continue developing their critical thinking skills.
Funding this year for the camp is being provided by the Xerox Corp., SUNY Geneseo and the Rochester City School District.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Not quite $50 yet. C'mon, $50 for a TB!
In for 1. Thanks for the post!
$80? ....I don't really see this as being that great of a deal. 3TB drives are getting close to hitting $100, with 2TB dropping as well.
Why in the world would you pay that much for 1TB?
I was tempted to buy this, but the warranty is only one year. (The 3-yr warranty listed on Newegg is wrong, based on what I found on Amazon and WD's site.)
In for 1. Thanks to OP. Dont know how great deal is, but it felt right !!! My old WD 1TB My Book blew up so I needed something.
@dmaz: portable
Just added a deal for a 3TB Toshiba external, $149.99 on Newegg. Check it.
@dickfickling: EX-ZACTLY, it's portable
@dickfickling: That's still not very impressive...I bought the comparable, Western Digital model 27 months ago at Best Buy (still USB 3.0, 1TB and exactly the same as this) for $90. I'm still not convinced that this is a good deal at all, and I doubt that people are actually buying it in the numbers that they are upvoting it :/
@dmaz: Then for the fun of it, find us a comparable that does meets your cost expectation. I would love to see it, I can always use another one!
NOTE: After a cursery exam, doing some Googling, checking out Amazon, Best Buy, Staples and just clicking around, as far as I can see $80 for a 1 TB Western Digital Portable Hard Drive w/ USB 3.0 sure looks OK to me. I mean it is all relevant. Yes $60-$70 would be great. But you need to also prioritize what your time is worth and your needs. I need a drive now. And for me to spend 1/2 day "Power Shopping" to save $10 or $15 just is not worth it. I spent $80 from a well known vendor, I have a name brand External Drive on the way to me (Not a Bare Bones OEM drive) with free 3 day shipping. Yep, I got a deal as far as I am concerned.(Keep that free shipping in the equation also)
Wow! I misspelled cursory and you can't go back and edit your post a second time. The Horror !!!
@dmaz: I don't believe you bought a portable 1TB USB 3.0 in June of 2010 for $90.
@dmaz: Keep in mind that in Q4 of last year there was widespread monsoonal flooding in Thailand that affected a large number of hard drive and related component manufacturers there. The subsequent shortage lasted well into Q2 of 2012 and, based on what I've seen, market prices are still somewhat inflated vs. where they were a year or more ago. So, while you may have spent $90 twenty-odd months ago, that doesn't automatically mean that this particular item today is a bad deal in the current market.
@citizenzac: Believe it guy! I keep all my anime on it :)
The stuff that @birniei had slipped my mind, and it is a reasonable factor. Just because I hadn't been in the market for portable hard drives since then, meant that I was unaware of how expensive they had become. This is a good point.
@wyreless: Cursery: Is that a course you take in Pirate School?
I would like to add that it was nice to see a bunch oif fellow Wooters have a discussion and not act like a bunch of brats in the High School Cafeteria. Well done Gentlemen (and Ladies just in case).
Now back to my Cursery lesson. How to "curser" when the temperature is below 53 degrees F.
UPDATE: I will say this about NEWEGG, I have already got my UPS Tracking number and a confirmation Email stating that it will ship today. Now that I like, ALLOT. Could be a new toy for the weekend. In case that new IPhone 5 doesnt make it and I am not counting on that, Pre-Order or not!!
What about the cable? Do we have to buy it separately?I never had to with these portable hard drives but I do not see it in the picture. Can someone please clarify?
Arrr, great for keepin' me torrents...
@singnage - I've bought dozens of external hard drives for work and a couple for personal use and never had one come without a cable. I would bet that even though it's not pictured it does come with a cable. Also if you search the same model number on Amazon, that one says it includes a cable.
Well, I was in for one, until newegg required me to link a credit card to paypal even though I have more than enough balance to cover my purchase.
Same price ($79.99) on Amazon w/free shipping:
@danield528: Ha !Somebody must have reported the low price to Amazon, it was 99.99 when I had seen this deal on Woot.
@dmaz: pay attention to 2.5 inch based portable drives versus 3.5 inch drives that require an additional power source. If portability doesn't matter for you, this drive isn't worth getting. If you want something that you can use while traveling, the the 2.5 inch drives might be worth the additional cost.
I have that service from UPS that alerts me when I have delivery coming. Just got delivery alert, I will have the drive delivered by 5pm tomorrow (09/19).Ordered it this morning (09/18) Thats incredible. Im liking this NEWEGG shipping dept.
@danield528: Nice. :-)
Also, I finally applied for their credit card, got an instant $50 credit, and just paid $30 for it. Yep, that was a good deal.
Mine arrived this afternoon. It is quite the small unit. Great for tagging along with a netbook or notebook. Also, it DOES come with a USB 3.0 Cable that is also 2.0 compatible. If yiou have not seen this drive up close, I think you will be surprised how small it is.It literally is not much bigger then a bare 2.5 in drive. My Windows 7 machine with USB 2.0 found it fast and it was iimmeditely ready to go. Put about 40 GB's of movies on it, very fast transfer.

10 Ways to Prepare for the End of the School Year
Are you prepared for those last, hectic weeks of school? These 10 tips will help your family through the May and June chaos. Take a deep breath and focus on keeping yourself and your family organized and excited for summer.
Brought to you by the American School Counselor Association

Manage Spring Fever
As school winds down, end-of-the-year events — from music recitals to sports banquets — clog the calendar. But the academic year isn't over yet! Making sure your kids finish with their best effort — when their efforts are required in so many different areas — can be quite a challenge.
Stick with the routine
Try your best to stick with your child's regular after-school routine. Set homework rules and check to make sure she's still meeting deadlines. If a progress report says your child's work isn't getting done, make a plan with her to ensure a strong finish.
Address stress
If your child is showing symptoms of end-of-year stress — not eating or sleeping well or being irritable — you may want to talk to him about ways to handle the pressure of juggling too many balls.

How It Works
Antibiotics kill bacteria or prevent them from reproducing.
Why It Is Used
Doctors use antibiotics to treat pneumonia caused by bacteria. There are many types of antibiotics. Your doctor will decide which antibiotic will work best for you.
Doctors do not use tetracyclines for children younger than age 8. These medicines can discolor a child's teeth.
Doctors use vancomycin to treat people who are in the hospital for severe infections that do not respond to other antibiotics.
How Well It Works
In general, all antibiotics used have a high cure rate for pneumonia caused by bacteria. Cure rates are greater than 80%, meaning at least 80 people out of 100 are cured.1
Vancomycin works against some types of bacteria that have become resistant to other antibiotics.
You most likely will have some improvement in symptoms 2 to 3 days after treatment begins. Unless you get worse during that time, treatment is not changed for at least 3 days. The number of days you keep taking antibiotics depends on your illness and the type of antibiotic.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call911or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Sudden pain or swelling around your ankle, shoulder, elbow, or hand. Some antibiotics increase the risk of a tendon rupture or other tendon damage. Do not exercise until your doctor says it is okay.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Nausea and vomiting.
- A metallic taste in the mouth.
- Dizziness.
Some fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines may make it easier to get a sunburn when you are taking them. Avoid direct sunlight and tanning salons while you are taking these medicines and for 5 days after you have stopped taking them.
- Most sunscreens do not block enough of the UV rays to prevent sunburn.
- If you cannot avoid direct sunlight, cover as much of your body as you can with clothing.
A large study showed that people who take erythromycin along with certain common medicines have an increased risk of sudden cardiac death.2 The study showed that the risk of sudden cardiac death is greater when erythromycin is taken with some medicines that inhibit certain liver enzymes-such as some calcium channel blockers, some antifungal medicines, medicines to stop vomiting, and some antidepressants-than when erythromycin is taken by itself.
Vancomycin can cause hearing loss. This is rare. But it has occurred in people who received excessive doses or who have kidney disease. Hearing loss also has occurred in people who were taking another medicine that may cause hearing loss or who already had some hearing loss.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Antibiotics cannot always kill bacteria (antibiotic resistance), in part because they are used too much or are used incorrectly. You can help prevent antibiotic resistance by taking all of your medicine as directed, even if you feel better after a few days. If you stop taking your medicine too soon, bacteria that are not killed in the first few days of treatment can grow stronger and become resistant to the antibiotic.
Doctors are careful about the use of vancomycin, because it is the only antibiotic that can kill some types of bacteria. Using vancomycin too often can lead to antibiotic resistance in these bacteria.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
