Time to see what folks are writing and discussing about the Browns:
In a very intelligent analysis of a complicated situation, my good and longtime friend, and colleague, Tony Grossi of ESPN 850 in Cleveland talks about the pros and cons of trading Josh Gordon. Though his gushing about Gordon is a bit over the top for a guy with 75 career receptions.
Greg Little's production has been scant this season, as Daryl Reiter of CBS Cleveland 92.3 points out. He's been targeted 42 times and caught just 16 passes.
In this video with Fox Football Daily that appears on Fox Sports Ohio-dot-com, Joe Haden admits when the Trent Richardson trade went down the team was shocked, but the message got through that it was time to play. "Because obviously the front office isn't messing around," Haden said
"Read 'em and weep," writes Steve Doerschuk of the Canton Repository (the paper of the city of the Pro Football Hall of Fame). Doerschuk then explains how Aaron Rodgers really and truly believed he might become a Cleveland Brown in 2005. The Browns took Braylon Edwards third, Rodgers went to Green Bay at the 24th spot -- and the rest is the proverbial history.
Browns president Joe Banner spoke at a leadership conference in suburban Cleveland this week, and Mark Podolski of the News-Herald caught up with him. After putting a crazy Tim Tebow rumor to rest, Banner addressed several topics. Among his statements: He hopes quarterback Brian Hoyer is part of the Browns future.

While at the Wedding Party event last week, I signed up for the Blueprint Cleanse. For those of you who don't know, its essentially a 3 day juice cleanse – you'll get 6 juices each day at a total of 1200 calories (so you won't feel hungry). I was initially against it because I didn't think it would be doable or even taste good, but I've done my research and got to taste a sample and it was pretty good! I've been feeling pretty sluggish lately and overall I just need a kick start to a healthier year…I'm doing it with my boss so hopefully we can keep each other from cheating, but I'll let you know how it goes. We start today, so wish us luck!
Here are some of the benefits you may receive on the cleanse…
* Boosted immune system
* Alleviates allergies
* Improved thyroid dysfunction
* Rests the digestive organs
* Physical rejuvenation
* Normalized weight
* Normalized blood pressure
* Reverses signs of aging
* Elevates mood and sex drive – hello!!
* Alleviates symptoms of PMS
* Promotes clear skin
* Increases energy
* Increases fertility
* Combats viruses
* Aids Fibromyalgia issues
* Saves money you would have otherwise spent on "that new antibiotic."

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/)
- - new filter (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/new-filter-1363/)
new filter
i finally got my new rena filstar xp2! i'm so excited ..my tank is coming together more and more...i was just wondering if anyone else that has this filter and uses the spray bar, if just water comes out of the spray bar, or do you get very fine bubbles sometimes too? i'm pretty sure i did everything right as far as priming and setting up, and i left it unplugged to prime itself twice, so i just wanted to know what everyone's filter were doing. i've never had a canister so i dont know how it's supposed to act...
it is very quiet though, compared to a HOB...which is nice cuz my tank is in my LR...anyways...thanks! i will try to post some pics soon.
Low maintance and easier water changes. Spray bars are generally optional. If you don't have the facility to use airstones as do as the fish constantly toss them about it can help improve surface/gas distribution. Also spray bars benefit breeds with don't appreciate strong currents.
what about the fine bubbles coming out of the spray bar? is this typically normal? cuz i thought that any air coming out meant that there was air in the filter and that's not good, right? but i checked everything twice, and primed twice and it seems to be working great...just these fine bubbles...thanks :wink:
How close to the surface is it?
it WAS pretty close...just under the water about an inch..now it's way under the water, cuz my tank wasnt all the way full...but i finished filling itup today...
And the bubbles???
I don't have any experience with them but it sounds like you have the normal air trapped in the media in the canister and it is slowly escaping. This should only go on for a max of a couple hours. If it happens much longer than that I would suspect a possible leak in one of the tubes or possibly an airhose that is drawing in air.
I have an XP2, and I did have some fine air bubbles come out at first. It is normal to get the bubbles right after you set it up. They shouldn't last long though, Filstars are known for not having trapped air within the filter. Mine disappeared within an hour or so. Did you add any additional media to it?
Make sure everything is connected properly and tight, if the bubbles continue, sounds like you may have a leak or something isn't connected correctly.

Some brief notes after the jump.
Bye, bye, Bolton. Since we were out at "The Social Network" (very good movie, by the way), I just watched the end of the results, although I did catch Bolton's calling Bruno "inappropriate and disrespectful." While we can argue about whether Bruno crossed a line (and about how bizarre it was Monday to see grumpy Len lecture someone else about being mean., it probably would have done Bolton no long-term good to complain about a judge. Only he isn't getting a long term. He was terrible on Monday, and he deserved to go.
But that Bolton name-drop on "Glee" was pretty funny.

Few days ago we received a new feedback from our good old user. That person became our user when we had just started making first steps. And his advises have always been helpful. This time he said: I have a new customer, he wants me to tweet links to his product at Google Market. But Google Market doesn't allow proceeding with Linkis. We analyzed our audience and noticed that lots of our Twitter users place ads in their tweets, including Google Market links etc.
And we solved that problem! Now, to post an original link without unauthorizing Linkis you simply need to add a special hash tag to it: #NLN. Which literally means "no Linkis proceeding for this tweet".
A tweet with hash tag #NLN will include an original link. A tweet of our user without hash tag #NLN will include a custom link. Easy as a pie!
That's all for today.

Jerel Worthy feels good in return
Green Bay – While Green Bay lost C.J. Wilson, who left the game with an injury, it gained back a defensive lineman.
Jerel Worthy returned to action for the first time this season after having reconstructive knee surgery at the end of last season. He was activated from the physically unable to perform list and while his play was limited to more base, 'Oakey' snaps than third down, pass rush, he said he felt good coming back.
"I'm just trying to get in to the rhythm of the game, not trying to do too much," said Worthy. "Just trying to do your job, just trying to have success.
"I had a couple good plays today. I would like to have more. If I can have more I can get in to a rhythm in the game and have more of an impact. … I would like to have more pass rushes in there."
"I think my return definitely helps this team. Definitely helps this defensive line, to keep some depth and to keep some rotation going."
Worthy, a second-round pick last season, played 37% of the snaps in 2012, but he tore his anterior cruciate ligament at Minnesota and was lost for the season. He spent all of the off-season and training camp rehabbing but was put on PUP to start the season.
Worthy was drafted because the Packers thought he could add some pass rush from an inside nickel position as well as play some end in the 3-4 defense. However, he was not very productive and finished with 14 tackles and 2.5 sacks.
He appears to be in better shape than he was as a rookie and if he can add anything to the pass rush, it will help the defense.
"I feel great," said Worthy. "I didn't really play in depth but as the games down and as the season winds down a little bit, I hope to get some more plays. My knee felt great and physically I felt well."
Though the Packers have a quick turnaround to play Detroit Thursday, Worthy is obviously fresh. Worthy said that on Monday he would still work on strengthening his knee with weighted squat exercises.
"Tomorrow is going to be more of a 're-gen' day for us," said Worthy. "We're going to come in and lift. At the same time, the routine that I've had, even as I started to get back to practice, and on the days I worked my knee extremely hard, (it was) just to try to make sure that I still try to build that strength. So, tomorrow I will squat heavy and continue to try and build my strength."

Following on last month's announcement of the longlist for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction, the six-title short list was revealed yesterday.
This year's six novels are wide-ranging in both subject matter and style. They include: a prison novel from Morocco; a story about one family's dispersal around the globe, from 1950s Iraq to the modern day; a police hunt for an Iraqi Frankenstein terrorising Baghdad; one man's search for knowledge as he travels around North Africa and the Middle East; the grim reality of one family's struggle to survive in present day Aleppo and a psychological thriller played out in a psychiatric hospital in Cairo. [. . .]
Saad Albazei [chair of the judging committee] comments: 'This year's longlist was full of excellent books – a reflection of the overall quality of Arabic fiction published this year – so it was a real challenge to whittle the list down to just six. The shortlisted novels are varied in their narrative styles and language: from discovering virtual reality to the mingling of fantasy and reality, they also include classical language and multiple narrative voices and demonstrate the Arabic novel's ability to flower despite the harsh realities of daily life.'
And here are the six shortlisted titles with short descriptions:
Aziz is a pilot at the air force base who loves flying and forgets his cares when he is up in the air. It is flying that he thinks of on his wedding night, rather his 16 year-old bride, Zina, waiting in the adjoining room. The following morning, he leaves his house at the crack of dawn, not to return for 18 years. His wife, Zina, looks for him everywhere – in prisons, offices, cities and forests – asking questions and following false leads, only to be disappointed. However, one day – in the bar where she and her sister Khatima work – a stranger presses a scrap of paper into her pocket. It takes her on one last journey in search of her husband . . .
Tashari deals with the tragedy of Iraqi displacement of the past few decades, through the life story of a female doctor working in the countryside in southern Iraq in the 1950s. The narrative also follows her three children, who now live in three different continents, particularly her eldest daughter who has also become a doctor and works in a remote region of Canada. The title of the novel, 'Tashari', is an Iraqi word referring to a shot from a hunting rifle which is scattered in several directions.
No Knives in this City's Kitchens is a profound exploration of the mechanics of fear and disintegration over half a century. Through the story of one Syrian family, it depicts a society living under tyranny with stifled aspirations. The family realise that all their dreams have died and turned into rubble, just as the corpse of their mother has become waste material they must dispose of in order to continue living. Written with shocking perception and exquisite language, from the very beginning this novel makes its readers ask fundamental questions and shows how regimes can destroy Arab societies, plundering lives and wrecking dreams.
A researcher stumbles across a manuscript and attempts to edit it, to make it into a doctoral thesis. Entitled The Journeys of 'Abdi, the manuscript is an account of one man's journeys from Morocco to the Hijaz in Saudi Arabia in search of knowledge, written in the manner of Moroccan intellectuals such as Ibn Khaldun. 'Abdi's journey turns into an examination of Arabic and Muslim society, with 'Abdi emphasising the need for Arabs to learn from Europe in order to achieve social progress.
After five years of self-imposed isolation, Doctor Yahya returns to work at the Abbasiya Psychiatric Hospital in Cairo, where there is a surprise in store for him. In 'West 8', the department in charge of determining the mental health of patients who have committed crimes, he meets an old friend who reminds him of a past he is desperately trying to forget.
Hadi al-Attag lives in the populous al-Bataween district of Baghdad. In the Spring of 2005, he takes the body parts of those killed in explosions and sews them together to create a new body. When a displaced soul enters the body, a new being comes to life. Hadi call it 'the-what's-its-name'; the authorities name it 'Criminal X' and others refer to it as 'Frankenstein'. Frankenstein begins a campaign of revenge against those who killed it, or killed the parts constituting its body.
YES! I'm so glad Frankenstein made it. I really hope this book wins . . .
Prose translators will likely disagree, but I believe translating poetry requires a significant level of talent, a commitment to the text, and near mania, all of which suggests that the undertaking is the greatest possible challenge. The task is to. . .
The biggest issues with books like The Subsidiary often have to do with their underpinnings—when we learn that Georges Perec wrote La Disparition without once using the letter E, we are impressed. Imagine such a task! It takes a high. . .
Following The Infatuations, Javier Marías's latest novel seems, like those that have preceded it, an experiment to test fiction's capacity to mesmerize with sombre-sexy atmospheres and ruminative elongated sentences stretched across windowless walls of paragraphs. Thus Bad Begins offers his. . .
Death by Water, Kenzaburo Oe's latest novel to be translated into English, practically begs you to read it as autobiography. Like The Changeling, as well as many other works not yet released in English, Death by Water is narrated in. . .
Jocelyne Saucier's Twenty-One Cardinals is about the type of unique, indestructible, and often tragic loyalty only found in families. For a brief but stunningly mesmerizing 169 pages, Twenty-One Cardinals invited me in to the haunting and intimate world of the. . .
We know so very little; so little that what we think to be knowledge is hardly worth reckoning with at all; instead we ought to settle for being pleasantly surprised if, on the edge of things, against all expectations, our. . .
Many of Virginie Despentes's books revolve around the same central idea: "To be born a woman [is] the worst fate in practically every society." But this message is nearly always packaged in easy-to-read books that fill you with the pleasure. . .
Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's La Superba is appropriately titled after the Italian city of Genoa, where, after escaping the pressures of fame in his own country, the semi-autobiographical narrator finds himself cataloguing the experiences of its mesmerizing inhabitants with the intention. . .
It took reading 44 pages of Intervenir/Intervene before I began to get a sense of what Dolores Dorantes and Rodrigo Flores Sánchez were up to. Recurring throughout these 44 pages—throughout the entire book—are shovels, shovel smacks to the face, lobelias—aha!. . .
As presaged by its title, contradiction is the theme of Peter Stamm's novel, All Days Are Night. Gillian, a well-known television personality, remains unknowable to herself. And Hubert, a frustrated artist and Gillian's lover, creates art through the process of. . .

"German reunification: I view this in much the same way I view a possible Dean Martin - Jerry Lewis reconciliation: I never really enjoyed their work, and I'm not sure I need to see any of their new stuff"
"To hold the same views at forty as we held at twenty is to have been stupefied for a score of years, and take rank, not as a prophet, but as an non-teachable brat, well birched and none the wiser"
"The problem is one of opposition between subjective and objective points of view. There is a tendency to seek an objective account of everything before admitting its reality. But often what appears to a more subjective point of view cannot be accounted for in this way. So either the objective conception of the world is incomplete, or the subjective involves illusions that should be rejected."

A schoolboy has become one of the youngest people in the country to be given a criminal record after he admitted vandalism during an arson attack when he was 10 years old.
The boy, now 11, admitted a charge of criminal damage relating to a fire in a chapel on a college campus last July when he appeared at Plymouth Youth Court in Devon. Two of his friends, aged 11 and 12 at the time, admitted arson at the same court in December.
The court heard that the three got into the unsecured building at the College of St Mark and St John and flicked "matchbombs" and lit tissue paper, using a fire extinguisher to douse the flames. While the youngest boy was in the toilet, the others started a fire they could not put out, and the trio fled. The blaze caused £115,000 of damage. The boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, told magistrates he was sorry for what he did.
His father told the court: "We were horrified he was a part of this. He was with the wrong people at the wrong time but it doesn't excuse him. We have tried to bring him up to do the right thing and he did wrong. Hopefully, this will be the only time he will be up in front of you. We are sorry for everyone involved."
The boy, from Plymouth, was given a four-month referral order for criminal damage to a fire extinguisher after a charge of arson, which he had denied, was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service. Ten is the youngest age a person can face criminal charges in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In Scotland it is 12.

Antarctic heroes
Today marks the 100th anniversary of the day Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his team reached the South Pole, only to find that the rival Norwegian team, led by Roald Amundsen, had got there before them, and not just by a few days but by over a month.
Captain Scott writing in his cabin
It must be the world's largest understatement to say they must have been disappointed. The near super-human effort involved in getting there all for naught. But was it? Many forget that this was not simply a race for the Pole. For Scott this time in Antarctica had always been about science and thankfully many authors and commentators now bring this to the fore and recognise his dedication to this element of the expedition.
Letter from Scott to Hooker
It was on this subject that Captain Scott wrote to Sir Joseph Hooker when he was planning his first trip to Antarctica in 1901 on the Discovery. Until I saw the letter in the exhibition in the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art I had no idea that the two men had corresponded, but there it was – Scott's letter to Hooker thanking him for his encouragement on his pursuit of science and the idea of setting up balloon experiments.
The letter dated 21 May 1901 reads: 'It was your suggestion and the great weight of your practical experience alone that caused me to consider a balloon experiment as a practical possibility. Thank you very much for your generous support. I hope we shall manage to realise our wish.'
Scott's letter to Hooker currently displayed in the Shirley Sherwood Gallery at Kew Gardens
Joseph Hooker - Antarctic botanist
Hooker was of course, despite his much greater age at the time of this letter (he was 83), an experienced man in terms of Antarctica. He was there, on HMS Erebus, on Captain Clark Ross's four-year southern ocean expedition (1839-1843). It is from that expedition that so many places in Antarctica take their names – McMurdo Sound, Mount Erebus and Mount Terror, the Ross Ice Shelf, to name a few.
As we all know, despite Scott's great wealth of experience and his dedication, his second expedition on the Terra Nova (1910-1913) ended with all five of Scott's Pole team dead only 18 km from a refuelling station. But with them they had scientific specimens and drawings, ones they had stopped to collect on the arduous journey back. And, of course, others survived with their completed experiments, measurements and specimens, including Apsley Cherry-Garrard and the famous emperor penguin eggs.
It is in fact for this we should remember Scott and all his team today, for it is this legacy that has had the most impact on Antarctica and its history. As the famous words, from Tennyson, on their memorial read: 'To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield'. They speak for all scientists as well as polar explorers.

We used to like staying here during our visits to family and friends, but we think there are now other cheaper and better places nearby as this hotel is starting to be in need of some renovation around the edges. We thought we got a decent rate on our room, only to be reminded that this place has a $9 a day parking charge. So, if you're trying to shave dollars off your hotel bill, look elsewhere. One place to look is the nearby Fairfield Inn, where friends got a rate about 35% less than we paid. Parking there, as at most other suburban hotels, is free.
We also checked in very late and stood at the desk waiting as the harried clerk answered call after call. I was tempted at one point to go to the other end of the lobby and call him so we could at least get into the queue. I mentioned this the next morning to the person at the front desk. He apologized profusely and graciously offered us free breakfast, which we declined since we had to be on our way.
This is not a bad hotel. It's just that cheaper places have sprung up nearby that are as good or better. This is a very competitive market. Making people wait at the front desk and imposing a parking charge don't help.

Guest Blogger #6: Dianthe Hall. dianthe (with a lower-case d) is Wifey to Kelley and Mommy to Sydney Jane (2) and Myles Emanuel (6 months) – in her spare time (ha-ha-ha!!!) she plans weddings, wastes time on Facebook and Google Reader, chronicles her life at OneOfThoseMoms.com and eats a LOT of ice cream!
If you had told me 3 years ago that I would be nursing a toddler, I would have laughed in your face. If you had told me I would be tandem nursing a toddler AND an infant, I might have had you committed. But now that I'm in the thick of it, it might be me that's headed to the loony bin.
When I first considered the prospect of tandem nursing it seemed easy enough. You're already feeding one baby, so how hard could it be to feed one more? Little did I know … there is a HUGE difference between breastfeeding a baby and breastfeeding a toddler! Don't get me wrong, it's been a great experience and I don't regret it at all. But I'm thinking, hoping, praying we're headed towards the end.
Maybe I should start from the beginning.
There was never any question that I would breastfeed, but initially I only planned to nurse for 6 months. I knew all about the recommendation to breastfeed for at least a year but my goal was 6 months. Sydney and I hit our nursing groove almost immediately so when I hit the 6 month mark, I knew I could make it to a year … but that was it. There was no way I was going to be one of those crazy moms that breastfed walking and talking children!!
But in those next 6 months, something in me changed. And then I met a few of "those" moms. They weren't hairy, unshowered, tree-hugging hippies. They were regular moms, just like me. And like me, they just wanted what was best for their kids. As Sydney's 1st birthday approached, she began to wean herself from both the bottle and the pacifier and I figured she would wean herself from me fairly soon too. Our nursing relationship was still going really well, so 18 months became my new cutoff. But when Sydney was 16 months old, I found out I was pregnant.
Breastfeeding while pregnant was completely uncharted territory for me; and apparently, for almost everyone else too. Not only was I getting the "when are you gonna cut her off?" questions, there also seemed to be a big concern as to whether or not breastfeeding while pregnant was safe. My OB had given me the green light to continue breastfeeding, though she did warn me (as had a several friends) that there was a strong possibility that Sydney would self-wean due to the pregnancy related changes in my milk.
At first, I was happy to continue nursing.
Sydney and I had a good thing going and I wasn't ready for her to quit nursing. But I did expect her to wean based on what everyone had told me. But not my girl!!! My husband and I went on a 4 day Sydney-free vacay when I was 6 weeks pregnant and I thought that might be the end. But when we got back from Mexico, I don't know who she was more excited to see: me or my breasts. And that's when I knew I'd be tandem nursing!
Just in case you're wondering, breastfeeding through pregnancy is no cake walk. Towards the middle of my pregnancy, I would not have been at all disappointed if Sydney had weaned. To say it was painful would be an understatement. If I could just get past the first minute after she latched on, I'd be okay. But that minute seemed to last an hour and it felt like shards of glass were being pulled through my nipples. I began to cringe every time Sydney asked to nurse. I would try and distract her but she had a one track mind. I had taught her the word nurse early on and she was NOT afraid to use it. And instead of nursing less, she seemed to nurse more and more.
On more than one occasion I considered forcing her to wean.
But I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It wasn't like Sydney just wanted to nurse. It was as if she needed it. And the closer we got to my due date, the less I wanted to rock the boat. A new baby was going to be a big enough change for the Queen of the World and I didn't want her to feel like I was abandoning her. And everything I'd read said that children who tandem nursed typically had close relationships with their siblings and I loved the way that sounded! Plus, I'd actually had an oversupply the first time around and was looking forward to Sydney helping out with that. So outside of my own selfish needs, all I could see were positives – sure I'd be super tired – but who am I kidding? I worked in morning radio for 6 years and I'd been a mom for the last 2 – how much more tired could I get?
Another tandem mama had suggested I read, Adventures in Tandem Nursing – and even though it had become my tandem nursing bible, I was still a little worried about how it would all play out – but as it turned out, my concerns were misplaced because the transition was seamless … at least in the beginning – I ended up nursing Sydney while I was in labor (which probably helped move things along – lol) and then a few hours later, I nursed Myles minutes after he was born (in the car!) – later that day i nursed Sydney for a few minutes when she came to meet Myles at the hospital (which I was told not to do, but whatever, I'm a rebel!) and then when we came home the next day, I just began to nurse them both – at first, I tried to nurse them simultaneously – the nursing part wasn't difficult and it seemed to work for the kids, but I was never able to find a truly comfortable position.
So we began to take turns.
Sydney had no problems with the fact that Myles needed to eat first, and when the engorgement hit she was happy to take the foremilk so I could save the fatty hind milk for Myles. Even though she's only 2, Sydney had no problems comprehending that her baby brother had to nurse because he couldn't eat real food. Sure, sometimes she would ask Daddy to hold Myles knowing it would free mommy up to nurse. And sometimes she would ask me to put Myles in the swing because she knew she was next in line. But there never seemed to be any animosity towards Myles. She adores her brother and there haven't been any problems on that front. The problem now is me.
In case you've never breastfed before, it takes a lot out of you … both physically and emotionally. In fact, it can be downright exhausting. So imagine what it's like to breastfeed 2! Those first couple of weeks, there were days when all I did was nurse – Kelley and I basically traded babies all day long and in between nursing sessions, I tried to remember to eat and sleep. Myles was still sleeping a lot and I was really engorged, so I would encourage Sydney to nurse for a few minutes "to take a little off the top" – plus it gave us some alone time that we might not have otherwise had, so I was okay with it. To be honest, I even enjoyed it – but I also assumed that at some point there would be an end in sight – and so far, that's yet to be the case.
I've now been nursing Sydney for 28 months, and tandem nursing for 6 and she doesn't seem to be any closer to weaning than she was a year ago – she still asks to nurse several times a day – and while it's driving me crazy, I have to admit that she is quite polite about it ("Mommy, can I nurse?"). But she is also quite insistent:
"Mommy, can I nurse?"

"Mommy, can I nurse?"
As much as I would like for Sydney to wean, I still feel like I'm fulfilling an emotional need for her rather than merely a physical want – but I'm also starting to feel like there needs to be a light at the end of the tunnel
I am WAY touched out these days and Sydney has become even more touchy-feely if that's possible. Unlike Myles, who is still content to be held and snuggled while we nurse, Sydney has to do the holding and snuggling – she has to move and reposition herself several times throughout our session and she has to touch me. Not just by resting her hands on me, but by fondling my (jiggly) belly or arm or elbow or cheek or ear. And it can't be over my clothes, it has to be actual flesh. Not good for a touched-out Mommy! She's also started to get a little lazy with her latch. It's hard to explain the feeling and while it doesn't hurt, it is irritating. If we get to the lazy latch point, I tell her that "Mommy's going to count to 10" and then we're done. Usually that appeases her, but sometimes it brings on a meltdown and then we have to nurse to calm her down – do you see the cycle?
Sydney also recently potty trained so she's not sleeping as well as she had been and has taken to coming into our room at 2 or 3am and asking to nurse – and because nursing 2 babies all night long is more than I can currently handle, I've taken to lying to her. That's right, I'm lying to a 2 year old to save my sanity. I either tell her that Mommy's breasts need a rest (which is true) or that Mommy's breasts need to make more milk (which is kind of true), so it's not TECHNICALLY a lie, right? Instead of nursing, I try to offer to hold her and sometimes that works – but usually when I tell her no, she gets upset and starts to cry which wakes up Myles – then I have to nurse him for at least a few minutes so he'll go back to sleep which means Sydney still doesn't get to nurse!! Another cycle. *sigh*
So where do we go from here?
Honestly, I have no idea. If it was up to me, Sydney would already be weaned and Myles and I would continue our perfect nursing relationship. It's weird, but despite my being ready to end things with Sydney, I still feel like I could breastfeed Myles another year or so. I guess just like everything else with your kids, your nursing relationship is individual to each child. I wish it was as easy as just going cold turkey (which has been recommended to me), but I'm uncomfortable with that idea and I doubt it would work for us anyway. I've been told by all of my extended nursing mama friends that nursing is a 2-way relationship and that it has to work for all parties involved.
I've also been told that it's okay to set limits and that it's okay to tell Sydney "no". Believe me, I've tried. I do a LOT of nursing til "Mommy counts to 10". I also tried to implement the "you can only nurse if you're going to sleep" rule. But the only thing that has done is teach Sydney to say "Mommy, can I nurse? I'm tired!!" Clearly this child is too smart for her own good! I think if we could get it down to a session before nap time and bedtime and to calm the occasional tantrum, I'd be okay. But on the days when she is literally begging me to let her nurse all. day. long. Telling her no seems cruel and the guilt gets me every time. So for now, I'll continue on and pray that I'm not inflicting irreversible damage on her fragile psyche (sarcasm) … and that she'll wean before she turns 3!

Empirical performance of multifactor term structure models for pricing and hedging Eurodollar futures options
This article compares two one-factor, two two-factor, two three-factor models in the HJM class and Black's [Black, F. (1976). The pricing of commodity contracts. Journal of Financial Economics, 3, 167-179.] implied volatility function in terms of their pricing and hedging performance for Eurodollar futures options across strikes and maturities from 1 Jan 2000 to 31 Dec 2002. We find that three-factor models perform the best for 1-day and 1-week prediction, as well as for 5-day and 20-day hedging. The moneyness bias and the maturity bias appear for all models, but the three-factor models produce lower bias. Three-factor models also outperform other models in hedging, in particular for away-from-the-money and long-dated options. Making Black's volatility a square root or exponential function performs similar to one-factor HJM models in pricing, but not in hedging. Correctly specified and calibrated multifactor models are thus important and cannot be replaced by one-factor models in pricing or hedging interest rate contingent claims.

Shoppers will spend more this year than last as they "trade up but buy less often," according to a group of top retail advisers and analysts.
KPMG/Synovate, which is due to publish its findings this week, predicts the sector might not be hit as hard this year as first thought. The think tank's white paper, What are the prospects for UK retail in 2011, said there is "some optimism" for this year, beyond the first quarter.
This is in contrast to the gloomy outlook from the GFK Consumer Confidence index which has dropped eight points to minus 29 – the lowest level since March 2009. While the Office for National Statistics said Britain suffered the worst annual performance for any December since records began in 1988, sparking fears that 2011 can only get worse.
Helen Dickinson, KPMG's head of retail, said: "The worry since the downturn kicked-in was that retail would fall off a cliff. The past three years have provided enough evidence to show that consumers continue to love shopping and will therefore find ways to spend whatever the state of the wider economy. Consumers will spend more in pound terms than they did in 2010."
Although the think tank warned the volume of sales will be down and the increased pressure on spending will have a negative impact on many retailers, it said the most successful retailers will continue to do well.
Nick Bubb, a retail analyst at Arden Partners, said: "Real income pressure, like ever-rising petrol prices and the threat of higher mortgage rates will be felt more keenly in the mass market than at the 'John Lewis' end. We will continue to see a difference between retailers affected by the supermarket competition and those with more robust market positions."
Neil Saunders, a consulting director at research group Verdict Consulting, said: "Although the overall retail pie may continue to get slightly larger, not all retailers will receive a slice. Retailers, therefore, need to ensure that their propositions exceed customer expectations to ensure any spend which is made is made with them.
"2011 will not be the year of trading down; it's likely to be the era in which consumers seek more value for money – perhaps trading up but buying less to fund more expensive purchases."
The think tank did warn that any rise in interest rates in 2011 will be an issue for the sector.
Vicky Redwood, a consumer and debt specialist at Capital Economics, said: "Consumers face many headwinds. Inflation is likely to stay high for several months, but pay growth is unlikely to keep up. At least the Monetary Policy Committee has not been panicked into raising interest rates yet. But a rate hike will remain a threat throughout much of 2011.
"But consumers have a tendency to shrug off whatever is thrown at them. We would be wary of underestimating their resilience this time too."

More About: birth control Fluke Health Care Obama's health care
No comments
If she can afford to go to law school at Georgetown, she can pay for her birth control pills. They're not that expensive.
Look, the word on this girl is that she hasn't touched a man her entire time in law school. Women, yes. She never mentioned a medical need for contraceptives which, straight or gay, some women might require.
Now, Fluke does put out…fake testimony that is. She's a paid shill, the question we have to answer is: for whom?
The left has same sex marriage, so they don't need free birth control!!
I don't know if you all know how insurance works, but where I come from it isn't free. I pay a monthly deductible and have a copay on all prescriptions. It sure would be nice if all of us sane, rational people would attack the issue, not the person bringing it forth.
Fluke and the left attacked us. They assumed we want to harm women. No one is denying access to Birth Control and the secret agenda item abortion. Where is my right to prevent ppl from continually raiding my pockets for personal choice non health related expenditures? If you want Birth Control (which is not healthcare)you can contract with your insurance company for a policy rider, pay for it yourself and leave me alone. BTW I think this future lawyer tried to threaten us. If we don't give her BC she is just going to cost us more later with an unwanted pregnancy!! Really is that the lefts argument? Pathetic!
its a made up issue to divert attention away from the miserable failure and blithering idiot in the oval office.
Well, let's just do that. First of all, attacking Ms Fluke's ideas is not attacking her. If she is going to stand in front of this country and whine about something that costs 5 dollars a month that she and her partners can't seem to afford on their own, then we have every right to point out how ridiculous this is and how idiotic she appears. The real question now is, do you believe in the constitution or do you believe the president can dictate (as in dictator) what people have to buy for others or not, regardless if they are religious organizations or not? I support the constitution. So to Sarah, I say "Fluke You"
Wait…. I dont get it. Yes, I don't want to be the one subsidizing what is essentially unneeded medicine, but I don't understand why funding a few condoms or generic pills is any worse than abortions that will be under the majority of health plans in the future. Do I want to fund such a person's sex life? I hardly know the lady, assuming she is real, but I dont think its going to be anywhere near as expensive as her supposedly subsidized abortions that would come as a result.
But in the end the best birth control is parenting, which if my observations are correct, is not happening. If our nation falls apart because a few feminists got their contraceptives, I would be very surprised. I would have thought it would have come from the failures of the previous generation to teach the current from cradle rather than from its most dramatic and stressful stages of life through legislation and fear mongering.
The Government has no business forcing anyone to pay for birth control or abortions in America period let alone breaching 1st amendment constitutional restrains.. Because of Obama-care, Government will have it's fingers into every aspect of our lives Womb to Tomb.. Because of the few perceived needy, all will suffer. Obama-care is just the beginning of the end of our freedom as we know it by design.
Anyone honest enough with themselves to open their eyes and do the math on this, would plainly see the chain links to tyranny.
Well said Tony. Guns, Smokers, Light Bulbs, Cars, Now Birth Control…we the government will decide what you want and need.
This is the belief that society trumps the rights of the individual. That is not the founding of THIS country. It was in Plato's Republic, Utopia, and the Communist Manifesto. Each of those also believe is killing adults that no longer benefit society.
Excellent job Tony! This one NEEDS to get shared big time! I am so sick of the liberal left whining for other peoples money! The name Sandra Fluke should be put out there for her begging rant for Americans to fund her sexual escapades!
Excellent work! I'm adding this to Boehner's wall for sure! He's another one that we all had faith in and who is a disappointment…
Well done Tony!
Thank you Corkie… I can't believe this woman hasn't the shame to see just how pitiful she really is, Complaining because somebody isn't paying for here birth control… Like she's a victim… But then again she's very blinded by her ideology… I think this is part of their strategy though, The worst presidential record in U.S. history and we're talking about FREE birth control?!?!?!?
Why should we pay for this whore's birth control under the geize of women's health care? BS. What about breast cancer or uterine cancer I don't see the liberals all worked up for those women health issues.
They have the worst presidential record in U.S. history, they have to divert peoples attention away with a stupid issue like this.
Thanks for the Comment MrsB
Again, Fluke not a student. She's a 30-something activist.
How right you are Alvin!
Good work, Tony! Typo though: RespoNsibility
Thank you Debbie… Don't know how I missed that… It has been corrected.. May have to refresh the page.
This lady really is disgustingly selfish. It's astonishing.
Very True, LB
I wish it was a hearing and not simply a leftist press release. I would ask five very short questions.
1. Did you know Georgetown was Catholic when you applied?
2. If not, did they hide it from you somehow?
3. Were you forced to attend against your will?
4. Was there no other school willing to accept you?
5. Are you stupid?
