- Comments Off on What's Wild coach Mike Yeo's job status after the team's sixth straight loss?
The Wild's latest loss ended and owner Craig Leipold was left in his owner's suite wondering how the team he's invested so much in has lost its last six games, all in regulation which sets a franchise record.
The obvious question now, the one that trumps what happened Tuesday night (which you can read about in the paper), is what happens to coach Mike Yeo.
For now, I've heard, he's safe. He'll be the team's head coach heading into their game against Buffalo on Thursday.
Make no mistake, though, he's on a short leash. If the Wild don't win against the worst team in the NHL Thursday it would be their seventh straight loss and third straight at home.
Regardless of whether Thursday night is a must-win game for Yeo to keep his job, it certainly is a crucial one in determining his future.
The problem, as I've written about here and here is that the Wild aren't improving. Their record at the midway point two years ago was the same as this season and they haven't met the expectations they set last season by becoming a better team. Truthfully, they've become a worse team than last season.
The scary thing is, so much of their first half success was predicated on Josh Harding standing on his head. He was the league's best goalie. Even if he plays well in the second half, it would be a step down from his great first half. That means the rest of the team needs to step up. So far they haven't.
That's not to say they can't turn it around, but time is running out. If the current pace holds, the Wild will need to go 27-10-3 to make the playoffs (or some combo of 57 points). But it needs to turn around soon.
Yeo hasn't been doing himself any favors, in my opinion, after the games.
Sunday night, he came without answers.
Tuesday night, he said he's stopped talking to the team in the locker room after games. To an extent, I understand what he's saying. In a streak like this, what can you say? Instead, he wants his leaders to lead themselves out of it. Trouble is, if they don't lead them out of this streak, Yeo looks worse for it.
"The other way wasn't working either," Yeo said. "We'll try something. They're the players and you can be positive, you can be negative, you can get mad or whatever you want to do but the bottom line is we need guys to be gamers and guys to step up and that's the only way you get out of it."
My sense is that players — the leaders anyway — aren't looking for a move to be made. But if the losing continues Thursday and beyond, they won't have a choice.
After another loss, an examination of the Wild's playoff outlook

- Comments Off on After another loss, an examination of the Wild's playoff outlook
Blake Wheeler was without his helmet celebrating in the slot after jamming home a puck that the Wild thought had been frozen.
Instead, Wheeler gave the Jets a 5-4 lead on the eventual game-winner which was followed by an empty net goal.
After scoring three goals in the first 7 minutes and 4 seconds, after chasing Winnipeg's starting goalie, the Wild lost their fourth straight game in regulation.
The Wild have lost nine of their past 10 road games.
As a wrote in my mainbar, a team that once found ways to win tight games now finds ways to lose them.
"We're finding ways to lose hockey games," coach Mike Yeo said. "Earlier in the year we were priding ourselves on all these little things. It's still there, we just have to find it."
Friday's loss was the final game in a four-game road trip, of which the Wild lost all four games.
They now sit at 20-15-5 and sit at 6-12-3. The only saving grace right now is that the Wild head home for four straight games.
"It's huge," Ryan Suter said. "We can't win on the road, so we better make sure we play hard at home."
Friday night's loss compounds what was already a pretty bleak outlook. Let's break it down, remembering that this season the Wild said they wanted to build on just making the playoffs last season. They wanted to accomplish something in the playoffs.
After Friday, the Wild are in ninth place in the Western Conference, one spot out of the playoffs with 45 points.
But it doesn't take much to see how poor things are actually looking.
The Wild have played three more games than seventh-place Colorado (49 points), eighth-place Phoenix (46), and tenth-place Dallas (44).
At the surface it looks like the Wild are just one point outside the playoff picture. But if you adjust the points for those three teams on a point per game basis so that each team is at 40 games, things get worse for the Wild.
Put it this way.
Colorado is averaging 1.324 points per game.
Phoenix is averaging 1.243 points per game.
Dallas is averaging 1.189 points per game.
Minnesota is averaging 1.125 points per game.
Adjust that over 40 games, which the Wild have played, and the playoff outlook looks like this:
6th) Colorado, 52.9 points
7th) Vancouver, 51.3 points
8th) Phoenix, 47.9 points
9th) Dallas, 47.5 points
10th) Minnesota, 45 points (actual)
Remember, these are just projections based off the points per game basis that the team's are playing. And we're still (barely) less than halfway through the season. But they are alarming. Thanks to their recent slide, the Wild have gone from wanting to do something in the playoffs to the 10th place team.
Yeo has said multiple times that he's not worried about his job status and his contract (which expires at the end of this season). But if the Wild don't start to turn things around during the upcoming homestand, they'll fall farther in the Western Conference standings. They can't afford to fall too much farther because, as we saw earlier in the year when the Wild were reeling off wins, it's incredibly difficult to move up in the Western Conference standing.
What's most alarming, in my opinion, is how the team has regressed from last season. This was supposed to be a group improved from last season. They have Jason Pominville for a full season, the younger players have another season under their belt and Josh Harding was healthy.
They started off the season showing that they were a better team. But the recent slide has put them in an unenviable position.
That's it for me tonight. I'll have more in the coming days, including my midseason report grading every position in the organization.
Until then, follow on Twitter for updates.
Postgame thoughts and reaction from a 4-1 loss to the Flyers

PHILADELPHIA — Wild coach Mike Yeo didn't need a canvas to make his point after the Wild lost 4-1 here, another loss in a stretch where the goals have been infrequent and the losses have come in bunches.
"I'm not going to paint a rosy picture," he said.
He said some variation of that four times in a four minute interview.
And why would he do anything different?
The holiday break came at a crucial point for the Wild.
They've been outscored 13-4 in their last three games, they're 5-9-4 in their last 15 after opening the season 15-5-4, they have the worst offense in the Western Conference (based on goals per game), and entering the holiday break they aren't on pace to make the playoffs.
"I think the break comes at a perfect time," Yeo said. "I think it's pretty much all between the ears with us right now."
There were two themes in the locker room tonight after the Wild lost 4-1 to the Flyers.
1) The break is coming at a great time.
2) This is still the same team that raised expectations with the franchise's first playoff berth in five years and a record-setting pace to open the season.
"This is the same group that raised the expectations," Yeo said. "This is the same group that got us to a point where we were in a good spot. And this is the same group that's going to get us out of it."
The Wild sit in ninth place in the Western Conference entering the holiday break, a three-day league hiatus that prohibits roster moves, practices, and games. The Wild don't return to the ice until Friday in Winnipeg.
The Wild and Phoenix Coyotes both have 45 points. But the Wild have played three more games than Phoenix and the Coyotes are on a better pace which is why they are currently the eighth-place team on pace for the final Western Conference playoff spot.
It's still incredibly early, mind you.
The Wild have shown us both sides of a streaky team this season. They went 15-4-2 in a stretch from Oct. 10-Nov. 23. And, in a stretch that began Nov. 25 and is still going on, the Wild have shown the other side, going 5-9-4.
"I'm not concerned," Yeo said. "I'm not. We'll get it back with this group. We'll get it back by being better individually. Like I said, it starts with me. I'll be better. And it goes down the line."
It may start with Yeo. But really, it starts with the offense which has only produced three goals in a game twice in their last 16 games.
That's why the holiday break is coming at a good time, players said. They need to get away and stop thinking about this.
"I think it's pretty much all between the ears with us right now," Yeo said.
There's still a lot up in the air for Friday's game in Winnipeg.
Zach Parise has been limping and still hurt from the foot contusion he suffered when he blocked Alexander Steen's shot in St. Louis (which, oh by the way, occurred Nov. 25 when the Wild's skid began). Yeo said Parise will be examined Tuesday.
And there's the goaltending situation.
Niklas Backstrom has played better after a tough outing in Pittsburgh Thursday, but he hasn't been what Josh Harding has been this season and the Wild haven't played the same way in front of him.
Harding, the team has repeatedly said, will join the team Friday, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to start after not taking the ice for a long stretch.
We'll have details soon enough on this. For now, the team is getting away from hockey for the holiday break. And so am I. I'm flying to Manchester, N.H. tomorrow morning to spend the holidays with my family before flying to Winnipeg Thursday so that I can be there for the morning skate Friday. Talk to you then. Happy holidays.
Postgame thoughts, reaction to "maddening" loss in Pittsburgh

- Comments Off on Postgame thoughts, reaction to "maddening" loss in Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH — After the game, I asked Wild coach Mike Yeo how frustrating the first 30 (read: 31) minutes of Thursday night's game were.
Wrong word, he said. Then he paused.
"Maddening I think is a little more appropriate," he said. In the next sentence, he used the word, "disappointed."
However you want to slice it up, though — whatever word you choose to use — that was eye-opening. The Wild had every reason to beat the Penguins and yet got completely outplayed in a 5-2 loss here.
And, yes, I know that the Penguins are playing well of late. But this was a golden chance to start to solve road woes.
The Penguins were down each of their top-4 defenseman, down NHL assist-leader Evgeni Malkin, started their backup goalie and the puck Thursday dropped 20 hours after the Penguins finished a game in New York Wednesday night while the Wild rested in Pittsburgh.
And yet it was the Wild that came out flat, that looked depleted and sluggish.
For a team that often praises its leadership as a reason that for preventing such letdowns, it was striking – "uncharacteristic," Yeo called it.
"It was in the preparation," captain Mikko Koivu said. "I think they were ready to play. We just need to be better. I think that's the bottom line starting with myself. It is what it is. You can say they got the bounces or (we) didn't but I think the bottom line is they were ready to play."
And the Wild weren't.
Before the game, Yeo said this was a chance for Niklas Backstrom to get some consistent starts, to possibly earn back some playing time even after Josh Harding is activated from the injured reserve, which is expected to happen before the Wild's Dec. 27 game in Winnipeg.
But Thursday went very poorly for Backstrom, who allowed a soft first goal and never seemed to recover.
"I should have stopped that one," Backstrom admitted after the game.
But he was far from the only Wild player who played poorly. And while it would have been easy to make his play in the wake of the Harding news the main story, that would have been ignoring the poor play from everyone else.
"Obviously it's easy to pick (Backstrom) out as a story in the game, but we stunk tonight," Yeo said. "It's not all on him, it's not the only story of the game. I'm not going to say that he was nearly good enough, but you know what? There are 19 other guys that wore a Wild uniform that weren't either."
Thanks to goals from Jason Pominville (his team-leading 16th) and Dany Heatley (quietly his seventh), the Wild cut the Penguins' lead to 4-2 early in the third period.
But even after that, Yeo said the Wild didn't deserve to be within striking distance.
"At that point in the game, I felt like it was nice that obviously we got a chance to win, but it was a little bit smoke and mirrors to be in it at that point in the game," Yeo said. "We're generally a team that gets what we deserve and we didn't deserve to be there."
But they were there and shortly after cutting the lead to 4-2, they drew a long 5-on-3. But the Wild weren't able to capitalize and haven't scored on any of six 5-on-3 chances, a statistic Yeo knew after the game.
They've tried changing a few things on the 5-on-3, but it's still not working.
"Certainly that's an opportunity to make something of a game," Yeo said. "But we haven't scored one this year so we have to address it, we have to change something. We've changed personnel, but the one thing that I don't think has really changed is our mentality."
It was a huge momentum swing and with four seconds remaining on the final of those penalties, Olli Maatta drew a penalty shot and scored making it a 5-2 game.
"That's a play that you need to score," Koivu said of the 5-on-3. "A lot of times if you don't, it's a turning point especially when you have that much time. We recognize that and it's as simple as that. You just have to score on those.
"You can give them credit for the way they played but it's just not enough. We have to score. That's the bottom line."
That's it for me tonight. The Wild practice in Pittsburgh tomorrow before boarding a plane to New York where they'll try to turn the ship around Sunday night. Talk to you then.
Postgame reactions and thoughts from the Wild's 2-1 shootout win

- Comments Off on Postgame reactions and thoughts from the Wild's 2-1 shootout win
The Wild's toughest road trip to date is over — and that's a good thing for everyone.
The team gets two days off after playing three games in four days, each game in a different city. And I get to go back to the Central Time Zone where it's not a mad dash to file a 600 word game story right as the game ends.
Anywho, about that game.
The Wild's scoring woes continued, especially on the road. But because of a timely goal from Nino Niederreiter, who deflected home Ryan Suter's shot from the point, the Wild forced overtime and captured a 2-1 decision in the shootout. The win snapped a five-game road losing streak. The Wild had lost three of their last four.
In their last 11 games dating back to when this tough stretch against Western Conference teams began, they're 4-6-1. More worrisome though, is the Wild have scored just 16 goals in 11 games.
Saturday night, the one-goal output was a little more understandable. Both teams played tight, conservative and structured games — the type of game you'd picture for one that yielded two goals in 65 minutes of play.
That's the negative way to look at the Wild's play of late. The flip side is that the Wild have played well in the two road games since a lousy one in Anaheim. They played pretty even 5-on-5 in San Jose and played a very good road game Saturday in Denver.
The Wild's top line, now with Charlie Coyle on it, played well and had a long stretch in the offensive zone.
The second line, now with Jason Pominville and Erik Haula, was the one that ignited the Wild's lone goal Saturday.
And the third line featured Brett Bulmer in his second NHL this season. Coach Mike Yeo said he liked his game again.
"He's a pain in the butt to play against," Yeo said.
With the win, the Wild vaulted back into the top 8 of the Western Conference, but that's partially because they've played three more games than ninth-place Phoenix, which has two fewer points than the Wild.
Minnesota's tough stretch against the West is almost over. But not before, fittingly, it ends with a tough game.
The Wild welcome their old rivals, the red-hot Canucks who have won their last seven games including, most recently, a 6-2 whipping over the defending Eastern Conference champion Boston Bruins.
That'll be a fun one.
Tomorrow I'm writing a story about Matt Cooke and how he's been able to continue to be an agitator even since transforming his game two years ago. I'll be off Monday and (technically) Tuesday, though I'll go to the Vancouver game and pretend I'm working.
Our new Wolves writer Andy Greder will have coverage while I'm off. I think I'm going to check out the Women's Olympic team which is practicing in Blaine and, full disclosure, who my college roommate is now helping out with video coordination.
Anywho, that's it for me tonight. Follow on Twitter for exciting news tomorrow about my flight home.
Wild coach Mike Yeo upset with "embellishment" of San Jose Sharks in a 3-1 loss

- Comments Off on Wild coach Mike Yeo upset with "embellishment" of San Jose Sharks in a 3-1 loss
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Wild coach Mike Yeo took a deep breath before beginning his press conference about 25 minutes following a 3-1 Wild loss.
His team, which has struggled to draw penalties of late, was whistled for seven infractions totaling 16 penalty minutes that yielded six San Jose power plays and all three Sharks goals.
"It must be nice to draw penalties like that," Yeo said. "The other team goes stick on puck and you just kind of hold your head. Make sure you look at the first penalty. Because to me, that's embarrassing. I don't know. I guess we've got to ask our players to embellish more."
I asked Yeo after that about the team's 5-on-5 play which was much better Thursday than it was Wednesday in Anaheim.
"This is why I'm pissed off," Yeo said. "Because our guys battled hard tonight. We didn't do enough, there's no question. We were obviously in the box too much and we didn't finish well enough. It doesn't matter how many times they dive, we've got to make sure we kill them off – or embellish, I shouldn't say just dive. But there were things bigger picture that I thought we were much better with."
Yeo was as frustrated and upset as I've seen him this season. And he didn't hide it.
I got as much in as I could in my story for the web before our online editor left for the night.
Here are a few other highlights from Yeo's press conference:
On Brett Bulmer's first NHL game since Oct. of 2011:
"I was impressed. He was physical, he's not fun to play against, he was good on the wall. I thought he was involved all night."
On where the Wild go from here:
"We've just got to keep on battling. We just played a team that lost four in a row. Every team goes through it so we'll get through it too."
On a lack of finish lately:
"We make it hard on ourselves obviously. When you get into a lull like we did it makes it a lot tougher for sure. For one thing, we had chances. We've talked about this already this year. It seems when we go through a bit of a stretch where we're not scoring as much – I mean we had probably five scoring chances where we didn't get a shot on goal because we're looking to make an extra play. I do think we've got to make sure we have a little bit more of a shooters mindset, a little bit more of that."
On what the ref said following the double minor call on Zenon Konopka:
"He just kind of shrugged."

- Comments Off on Postgame thoughts and reaction from the Wild's worst loss of the season
Perhaps a few more Blue Jacket fans wish they could've seen that one.
On a snowy night that kept thousands of fans off the roads and away from Nationwide Arena here in Columbus, the hometown Blue Jackets put a whupping on their expansion cousins from Minnesota.
Twenty-one hours after the Wild's impressive win over the Blackhawks was completed, the puck dropped here and it was ugly from the start. Despite a flat start, the Wild managed a scoreless first period, then surrendered two goals in the second and third periods and were shutout for the second time in seven games. They lost 4-0.
On with tonight's three thoughts:
1) More than the poor effort, this one hurt because the schedule doesn't get any easier from here. Their next four games are against teams seeded higher than them in the Western Conference and three of those games are on the road. We've talked and written for a while about the importance of upcoming stretch for the Wild. Well, here's where we get to the teeth of the schedule. San Jose (twice), Anaheim, and Colorado are the next three opponents. One of those is a back-to-back in San Jose. If the Wild play the way they played here in San Jose, the Sharks could put up double digits.
2) It was obvious from the beginning of tonight's blunder that the back-to-back was costing them. They played slow and they played flat.
"The easiest thing to do is sit here and make that excuse," coach Mike Yeo said. "We've all seen games where there's a let down after an emotional win. We could sit here and point to the fact that we played last night but I don't think that we should allow that to be an excuse at all."
Added Zach Parise: "It shouldn't (be an excuse). We've all played back-to-backs before after emotional games. We just weren't ready to play tonight, weren't mentally involved in the game."
3) We're beyond talk of who the No. 1 goalie on this team is in my opinion. Yeo talked about it recently, but it's clear regardless of what he says that Josh Harding is the team's starter. Niklas Backstrom started his first game since Nov. 27 and it didn't go well. Yeo said before the game that he'd like to have Backstrom playing more, but his injuries and Harding's play have prevented that from happening.
The Wild lost 4-0 and it certainly wasn't Backstrom's fault. But it was also clear that he's not on top of his game. Cam Atkinson's goal to open the second period a pretty shot. But it should've been stopped. The second came off a rebound. And Backstrom had to make some impressive saves just to make up for some of the rebounds he allowed.
"I don't know who you could've put in net tonight the way we were playing the game," Yeo said when asked if something had slipped in Backstrom's game.
Anyway, that's it for me tonight. I've got to try to make it back to the hotel through the snow and ice that's been coming down here, then *fingers crossed* board an on-time 7 a.m. flight to make it back to the Twin Cities for Wild practice. Talk to you all then.
Postgame thoughts and reaction from a crazy game in Colorado

That sound you heard at the end of the that game? That was me hitting my head against the keyboard.
Man, what a game. If only I saw the final 10 minutes. I kid. Sort of.
The Wild were down 2-0 with five minutes to play. It's a Saturday, which means earlier newspaper deadlines. And we're in Colorado which means we lose an hour from the central time zone. So I was prepared to file 600 words on an aspect of the game at the buzzer. Fine. Been there, done that.
With five minutes remaining in the game, I had my 600 words done. I had a story written on the Wild's top line and their lack of presence in the Wild's four game losing streak to be. I had the stats to back it up and at one point I leaned over to my colleague from across the river and pointed out that my story was ruined if the top line scored. Then Matt Cooke scored with 3:27 remaining to cut the lead, but my story still figured to stand.
I had it copied and pasted into a new message in my email, ready to send it to my editors and head downstairs for quotes.
Then Koivu shut me up.
With 4.3 seconds remaining, he netted the equalizer that sent the game to overtime and earned the team their first point in seven days.
At that point, my head was spinning. So I figured I'd flip the script. I'd write about how the captain saved the day with equalizer and, more than likely, the shootout winner I figured. By the time his shootout came, I had a separate 600 words ready to go on him.
Instead, the Avs won in a shootout. And my story was due in two minutes.
I'm not exactly sure what ended up of that story. I'm not brave enough to go and check my sent mail.
After the game, I had 30 minutes to do interviews and re-write 600 words (ended up being 750). That story ended up better. Hopefully most of you subscribers got that edition in your paper, not my frantically thrown together, file-at-the-buzzer story that I just hope had the score and a verb in each sentence.
Anyway, hopefully your night was better.
On with the rewind.
1) Josh Harding deserves credit for a performance we didn't know about until after the game.
I expected Niklas Backstrom to start, but in our pre-game media availability, coach Mike Yeo was mum on the lineup including the goalie. When I saw Harding warming up I was a bit surprised but didn't look at it too strangely.
But as Yeo told us after the game, Backstrom was sick and Harding was forced to start. Backstrom was penciled in as the starter heading into this game.
Again, the Wild got down 2-0. But Harding made 23 saves and made sure that nothing got by him when the Wild needed him most.
2) I still don't know what I'd do about the lines if Zenon Konopka and Mikael Granlund are both going to miss extended time — mainly because I still don't like Charlie Coyle at center. He's shown chemistry with Koivu and Zach Parise and plays better on the wing. I'd try to get him there, especially following a night when I though Parise-Koivu-Jason Pominville weren't great despite netting the equalizer. For whatever reason, they just don't seem to play that well together.
The other side of it is Coyle hasn't been doing good enough on the draw. He won 4 of 16 faceoffs tonight and started the game by winning 1 of 11. Once Konopka is able to return, I think you move Coyle back to the wing and keep Erik Haula at center until Mikael Granlund is at center.
3) That was a much needed point. The Wild were 4.3 seconds from losing their fourth straight game in regulation. In a key stretch against the Western Conference, they weren't getting any points and were falling in the standings because of it. That's why the Wild needed that point.
"Darn right," Yeo said. "That's a huge point for us. First off, it was great the way we played the game. We probably outchanced them 2-to-1."
The only thing more valuable than the point, was the way the team played. Yeo said it was the first step in breaking out of their slump.
"The first step for us was to go out and play a really good game and play our game and play it really well and have everybody on board and doing it," Yeo said. "It was a different feeling on the bench than what we've had lately. There was a lot more talk, players were a lot more engaged with each other and that's a direct result for what they were giving each other."
How different one goal makes you feel. And how different a story comes from one goal.
That's it for me tonight. I've got a morning flight in case the Wild practice tomorrow, but that's not looking likely. Follow me on Twitter for insight like this.

Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip 13: Management of the Late Preterm Infant ++ INTRODUCTION ++ The increasing number of babies who are delivered between 34 and 37 weeks is a vexing problem for pediatric and obstetric practitioners alike. These babies have an increased risk of short-term health problems and long-term health, behavioral, and learning issues. It has been the subject of growing interest and concern that has generated new research into the cause as well as the appropriate management of these patients. The most commonly agreed upon definition of late preterm infants are those born between 34 0/7 and 36 6/7 weeks' gestation. (See Table 5–2.) Older literature refers to these infants as "near term," suggesting that they are equivalent to term infants. Recently, the consensus is to refer to these infants as "late preterm," which conveys an appropriate sense of their vulnerability. ++ I. BETWEEN 1992 AND 2002 LATE PRETERMS INCREASED FROM 7.3 TO 8.5% OF ALL BIRTHS, REPRESENTING A 16% INCREASE ++ They now represent about three-quarters of all preterm births. One study showed that babies born at 34 weeks were 4.6 times more likely to die than those at 40 weeks, which contributes significantly to the neonatal mortality rate. ++ II. POTENTIAL ETIOLOGIES ++ Although the exact cause of increased late preterm delivery remains elusive, the rate must be rising due to increased medical interventions at or beyond 34 weeks. Preeclampsia. The most common complication of pregnancy occurring in between 6 and 10% of pregnancies and is rising. Studies conflict as to whether the increase in late preterm deliveries is due to preeclampsia. Preterm labor and premature rupture of membranes (PROM). May lead to late preterm delivery but are not currently preventable. Multifetal gestations. These are rising due to advanced parental age from delayed childbearing and assisted reproductive technology (ART). Multiples contribute to late preterm delivery by virtue of earlier gestation at delivery, unique obstetric complications, increased risk of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and preeclampsia. Interventions to prevent preterm delivery in multiples have been ineffective. Refinement in ART leading to decreased numbers of multifetal gestation may help decrease their contribution to late preterm deliveries. Stillbirths. Declined from 14 to 6.7 per 1000 live births since 1970. The annual number of stillborn babies is equivalent to deaths from prematurity and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) combined. Current research does not support stillbirth prevention as a cause of late preterm delivery. ++ III. COMPLICATIONS OF LATE PRETERM BIRTH ++ Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). In one large study, 21% of babies born at 33 weeks, 7.3% at 35–36 weeks, and 0.6% at 37–42 weeks had RDS. Late preterm infants are deprived of the normal hormonal changes that occur at term and promote the clearance of lung fluid. In the United States, 17,000 infants born at >34 weeks are admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) annually, accounting for up to one-third of NICU admissions.

THE United States hailed the nomination of a new Iraqi prime minister as a "key milestone" and offered to step up help in rolling back gains by Islamic militants.
US Vice President Joe Biden made the offer in a call to Iraqi President Fuad Masum, who had earlier asked Haidar al-Abadi to form a new government, replacing that of incumbent premier Nuri al-Maliki.
Mr Biden also relayed US President Barack Obama's congratulations and restated "his commitment to fully support a new and inclusive Iraqi government," the White House said.
According to the White House, Mr Abadi told Mr Biden he intended "to move expeditiously to form a broad-based, inclusive government capable of countering the threat of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and building a better future for Iraqis from all communities."
In his call to Mr Masum, Mr Biden commended the Iraqi president "for meeting this key milestone" of asking Mr Abadi to form a more inclusive new government.
Biden "also emphasised President Obama's desire to boost coordination with a new Iraqi government and Iraqi security forces to roll back gains by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant." Masum acted over the objections of Maliki, who gave a defiant televised speech at midnight suggesting he would fight to the end to keep his job.
The United States has expressed alarm over the rapid gains made by Islamic State militants since a lightning offensive in June that left Mosul and much of the Sunni heartland under the control of the extremists.
Last week, IS forces pushed into Kurdistan, spurring Mr Obama to order air strikes to protect Arbil, the capital, and call for a change in government in Baghdad to confront the threat.
The United States has also begun urgently shipping weapons to the Iraqi Kurdish forces battling an advance by extremist Islamic State militants, a State Department spokeswoman says.
"We're working with the government of Iraq to increasingly and very quickly get urgently needed arms to the Kurds,"Marie Harf told CNN.
"This includes the Iraqis providing their own weapons from their own stocks, and we're working to do the same thing from our stocks of weapons that we have."
Separately, the US military confirmed that it had carried out another air strike late Sunday against an IS convoy it said was preparing to attack Kurdish forces protecting their capital Arbil.
Ms Harf said the effort had been underway since last week, but did not say which US agency was leading the effort or how many and what type of weapons had been sent.
The United States has a consulate and other facilities in Arbil, capital of Iraq's Kurdish autonomous region, and last week Mr Obama ordered air strikes to protect the city.
Efforts to support Kurdish Peshmerga forces could complicated the United States' ties to the Iraqi government in Baghdad, which is also fighting the Islamic State but has tense relations with Arbil.
But Ms Harf insisted that, in the current crisis, the two sides are working together.
"We have seen an unprecedented level of cooperation between the Iraqi forces and the Kurdish forces. We hadn't seen that in the past. They're helping each other out," Ms Harf said.
"So any way we can get the very urgently needed arms to the Kurds we are actively working on," she said.
"We'll work with the government of Iraq to do that, but we believe again there is such an urgent situation that we need to do this."
US Central Command said that on Sunday evening "US fighter aircraft struck and destroyed several vehicles that were part of an ISIL convoy moving to attack peshmerga forces defending Arbil.
"All aircraft exited the strike area safely," it added.
Mr Obama authorised air strikes on Thursday, warning that IS extremist militants were in a position to threaten US personnel in Arbil and commit "genocide" against minority religious groups.
The first US action was confirmed on Friday, part of what the White House insists will be a "limited" campaign to protect Arbil and Yazidi refugees.

Heavenly Brush
One of the best brushes I've brought. Super soft and super luxe on the face! Highly recommended. A little pricey but totally worth it. Perfect for CC powder and finishing powder in the IT Cosmetics range. Washes easily too. Surprisingly you don't need too much of the product on the brush, a small amount of the product goes a long way. 2nd brush I've brought from the IT Cosmetics range, can't wait to get the more! And looking forward to their new range.

I know my place. It's among books. That's the sort of worm I am.
Zadie Smith and Michael Ondaatje (among others) said it exactly when they remarked that, if forced to choose between reading and writing, they would forego the writing. For me, too, reading is the vital act. And if this desert-island game were to go further, if the choice were between books and furniture, or books and a fine wardrobe, it's the books that would stay.
Woe to slick designers who counsel ridding rooms of books. They haven't noticed that "A room without books is a room without a soul." My own books live in three places. My winter house has books in every room, not just the study. In my summer place, a wooden bookcase filled with books on the sea nestles up against a curvy old sofa known as The Reading Boat.
And in my office the books surround me, the room rich with their presence, their possibility – Canadian poetry sidling up to Irish poetry, Victorian and modernist literature nudging up against the spunky Newfoundland books. They hum among themselves.
These days I'm ensconced in the staidly cozy 1950s chair that squats in my office, revisiting works by authors reading at the SPARKS festival in late January. SPARKS is an intense confab, a word spree in darkest winter; I like to have the featured books fresh in my mind as the sparks and cuffers fly.

Welp... that's a wrap. We didn't quite make it to 250 episodes, and we didn't quite make it to five years, but that's how life goes sometimes. Who would have guessed when we started the show that Kevin would be heading off to New York City and Taylor would be heading to Los Angeles? ...I mean, I suppose you probably could have made an educated guess. Nevertheless! We hope you have enjoyed the show whether you listened to one ep or every ep (god save your poor soul). Please know we telepathically heard every time you yelled at your listening device when we got something wrong. You guys yell a LOT! To absolutely everyone involved in making this show - producers, guests, designers, photographers, bandmates and listeners - THANK YOU. And now we present The End. Love! -Taylor & Kevin |

For our penultimate episode we have one of our bestest pals, comedian Nathan Lund, talking about one of his favorite-est authors; Kurt Vonnegut. It should be noted that this was part of a marathon podcast recording session so Kevin may be a bit tipsy, Nathan may be a bit high, and Taylor may be a bit tired, but we couldn't call ourselves a true podcast, even after doing the show for almost a full five years unless we had at least a couple eps where people were not quite coherent. Join us as we discuss Mr. Vonnegut's work, the tattoos he's inspired, and the mental breakdowns that lead to getting those tattoos. |

We only have three more eps left (including this one) and we could not finish up our run without talking to Ron Doyle. Ron was one of the hosts of Denver's original pop culturey podcast, The Denver Diatribe. He now co-hosts and co-produces The Narrators show and podcast. He has also been involved in several other shows around town, he volunteers at the High Plains Comedy Fest, and he makes time for his family after working as a free lancer. How does he do it!? We don't know, but we do know that he sure loves magazines. Listen in as we discuss National Geographic, Rolling Stone, Spin, Cosmo, Field & Stream, The Source, Vanity Fair and of course Highlights magazine. |

On today's ep we have one of our favorite guests and the winner of our Most Times On The Podcast Award, Mr. Sam Tallent. Sam Stops by to talk about one of his favorite authors, Cormac McCarthy. Author of The Road, All The Pretty Horses, No Country For Old Me, and Sam's absolute fave, Blood Meridian. Join in as we talk about death and violence. Man's inhumanity to man! How 'bout it?! |

Wed, 15 February 2017
"I used to be Irish Catholic; Now I'm an American. You know, you grow." We had a blast talking to comedian Matt Braunger about George Carlin and his 1972 album CLASS CLOWN. Join us as we delve into the mind of the man known for his wordplay and his political prowess. Be sure to catch Matt on stage when he comes to your town! |

Join us as we talk to musicians Harmony Rose and Michelle Rocqet of The Milk Blossoms as they talk about their love of board games. Popular and obscure, new or used, strategy or skill-based, they love 'em all! |
Tue, 24 January 2017
On today's ep we talk to musician Mike King of the band The Outfit about his obsession with The Legend of Zelda and all its sequels for NES, Super Nintendo, N64, etc, etc, etc. Join us as we grab our sword and shield and hit the road looking for rupees and dungeons! |
Tue, 17 January 2017
Our new friend comedian Will Miles stopped by to talk about what it's like to be inspired by your peers, to be away from your family when there's a terrorist attack, and how Childish Gambino came to be legitimately amazing.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
This article is coauthored with Daniel Pryor.
Writing for The Guardian, Evgeny Morozov repeats a number of well-worn, but misguided, objections to Uber's continued growth. He predicts that Uber will spell doom for consumers and drivers. It will drive its competitors out of business in order to charge monopoly prices to its customers and squeeze "even more cash or productivity out of Uber drivers." This is all thanks to the "rich venture capitalists" and tech-giants whose tax-avoidance supposedly enables them to fund Uber's expansion. With their backing, the company can "afford to burn billions in order to knock out any competitors, be they old-school taxi companies or startups."
Morozov and other who make the same anti-Uber argument are mistaken on a number of levels. Uber and other ridesharing companies benefit consumers and drivers, both now and in the long run . Uber will continue to face competition and it will not monopolize the for-hire vehicle transport industry, unlike its government-protected taxi predecessors did.
In the States, for far too long for-hire vehicle transport has been heavily regulated to the point of suppressed competition. This lack of competition, driven by taxi companies' donations to local politicians, led to a noticeable decline in taxis' customer service. Increased competition fuelled by ridesharing's growth has even forced taxis to improve their service.
Uber is not just improving on the existing taxi model in major U.S. cities, it is expanding transport options and extending service to areas that were previously underserved. Data show that as Uber's popularity grew in New York City, its reach into low-income neighborhoods outside busy Manhattan grew at an even faster rate. This makes clear the dire need for increased travel options. Ridesharing can provide this, especially in residential neighbourhoods and late at night when taxi dispatch services are unreliable and public transportation is scarce.
In addition to affordable fares, customers value the convenience and improved safety that ridesharing platforms provide.
The number of American Uber drivers doubled over the course of last year. If drivers felt as if they were being exploited, they would not be trying to drive with Uber. Over half of Uber drivers are still actively working for the company a year after they signed up. While some Uber opponents may try to use this statistic to show that many people choose not to continue driving, the ability to easily start and stop driving with Uber is one of the main benefits of the service. This flexibility is valued by Uber drivers. Students who want to earn extra money between classes and mothers who can only work when children are at school benefit from the ability to work when they want.

Hello, my name is Perri Robinson and I am a student at Bournemouth University studying Marketing. As part of my course I am required to complete primary research on the topic of my choice and as a fan of Sex in The City myself, I thought what better than to choose the show! The aim of my project is to research whether women aged 25-40 feel that Sex and The City has influenced viewer's behaviours and attitudes. I recognise that your time is precious but I would be incredibly grateful if you took the time to fill out the attached questionnaire on the link below |
I just watching ENTERTAINMENT TV and it was said that the cast is going totally 80s on a flash back probably. The blond was wearing snakeskin skin tight socks with boots and workman straped on her waist with a whole of hair. The brunette was simply in a green skirt and with a cardigan on her shoulders while Sara Jessica Parker was in a normal Madonna Outfit and the Red head was looking like a secretary with an outfit like one and with white tennis shoes and socks with lots of books. I hope the Flash Back will be fun to watch |
In a city like New York, where moving on is a fact of life, is it really possible to revisit the past? And if we do, will old friends and situations still be as dear to our hearts? Thankfully, the answer to that Carrie-esque musing when applied to the big-screen version of "Sex and the City" is a resounding yes. Meeting absent old friends can often be initially awkward. Familiar sure, but fitting back into the groove takes a little time. The same is true of "SATC: The Movie." Faces are the same, but things have naturally progressed since we last caught up with the fabulous... |
Season 1 Episode 1 Making its splashy debut on June 6, 1998, the first episode of Sex drew 3.7 million viewers — a respectable number, considering it was a new series on a pay-cable channel. (But viewership would balloon by the finale, which, nearly six years later, would draw 10.6 million viewers.) At the time, HBO's slate included Oz, Arli$$, and Taxicab Confessions. And a little show called Family Man — eventually renamed The Sopranos — was gearing up to premiere the following year. |

This information comes from the listings of Non-Prefixed and Non-Suffixed aircraft reviewed by me in the archives of the National Air & Space Museum, Washington, DC.
Your copy of the Davis-Monthan Airfield Register with all the pilots' signatures and helpful cross-references to pilots and their aircraft is available at the link. Or use this FORM to order a copy signed by the author. ISBN 978-0-9843074-0-1.
This aircraft is a Stinson SB-1 Detroiter, manufacturer's serial number 114 (ATC #not identified). It was manufactured August 1, 1927 by Stinson Aircraft Corporation, Northville, MI. It left the factory with a 200 HP Wright J-5 CA Whirlwind engine, S/N B 7570. It weighed 3,280 pounds.
It was sold on August 1, 1927 to George A. Weis, Inc., Mineola, NY (George A. Weis, Jr., President). Weis landed NC877 at Tucson on the morning of September 7, 1928. He carried Bessie Davis as passenger. Based at Garden City, NY, they were westbound from El Paso, TX to Los Angeles, CA. The upbeat Weis noted in the Register on this fall day, "Fine field and service".
About two weeks later, on September 22, 1928, Weis sold NC877 to Thomas Gerard, Fairbanks, AK. Gerard held transport license #2171 and mechanic's license #2549. The airplane had accumulated about 275 flight hours. On November 20, 1928, Gerard had an accident with the airplane at Holy Cross, AK. He broke a ski on rough ground and crashed into brush. There was damage to the lower wings, propeller and landing gear. These were repaired on site, since the crash was 500 miles from Fairbanks.
NC877 sold twice more in 1929, winding up with Alaskan Airways, Inc. until September 1, 1932 when it sold to Pacific Alaska Airways, Inc., New York, NY. Pacific Alaska reported on October 3, 1932 that, "this job cut to pieces, completely disassembled." The registration was cancelled October 26, 1932. No further information.

16 November 2013 Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has appealed to all stakeholders in Nepal to conclude the upcoming Constituent Assembly elections peacefully so the country can proceed with the urgent task of drafting a new constitution.
A statement issued by his spokesperson last night said Mr. Ban has closely followed the preparations for the polls, which are scheduled for 19 November.
"He has been greatly encouraged by the commitment and professionalism with which the government, the Election Commission and the political parties have engaged in the process, despite challenges," the spokesperson stated.
"Much of the election campaign has been conducted in a spirit of free and open competition, and with a commitment to the peaceful democratic future of Nepal. On election day, it is the turn of voters to express their choice freely, according to their universal democratic rights, in an atmosphere free of violence and intimidation."
The South Asian nation has been plagued by political disputes since a civil war between Government forces and Maoists formally ended in 2006 and the monarchy was abolished.
The first Constituent Assembly, elected in 2008, was unable to complete the drafting of a new constitution before it was dissolved in May 2012.
Despite various challenges, there have been important achievements in the United Nations-backed peace process, including the completion of the discharge and integration process of the ex-Maoist army, the successful and largely peaceful elections in 2008, the removal of all minefields, and a smooth transition to a republic.
"The Secretary-General appeals to all stakeholders to conclude these elections peacefully, and to redouble their efforts in the urgent task of constitution-making, building upon the admirable gains made so far," said the statement.

In recent years, Western societies in particular are witnessing an unprecedented emphasis on the need to find sustainable and effective strategies to tackle radicalization. This has led to an increase of interventions within the framework of education. Studies have shown that the relationship between education and radicalization is ambivalent, and there is no evidence that access to education may decrease the risk of radicalization. The limited understanding of radicalization processes has so far led to ineffective and even detrimental policies. Interventions mainly at the level of secondary and higher education have primarily sought to identify early signs of radicalization and to target vulnerable individuals, who often belong to the same religious or ethnic groups. These approaches have weakened social cohesion by demonizing certain communities and underscoring stereotypes. This paper argues that schools should not be a space to enforce counter racialization measures and promote a specific set of values and beliefs, but rather the opposite. Relying on evidence identified by research in the fields of education and peacebuilding, the paper argues that schools should be a forum in which values are questioned and openly discussed, in which critical thinking and the exchange of different ideas and perspectives are encouraged. Because education is paramount to shape values and behavior and to favor identity formation, this paper also advises shifting the focus of such preventive policies from secondary to primary education.

Levi Leipheimer refused to comment on a Dutch newspaper report alleging he has testified to the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) as part of their investigation into Lance Armstrong. He also said he had no knowledge of a six-month ban being imposed on him from this September as a result of his alleged cooperation with the USADA investigation.
Speaking to the media before the start of Tour de France stage five in Rouen, the Omega Pharma-Quick Step rider came out of the team bus and stated: "I don't really have anything to say. All I can say is that I'm here at the Tour de France and I'm 100 percent focused on this race. So far I'm still in the hunt for the general classification and that's all I have to say."
Quizzed whether he had made any kind of deal with USADA in return for a six-month suspension, as has been alleged in De Telegraaf, Leipheimer said: "Again, I can't say anything. I'm not going to comment. Beyond that I'm here in the Tour with Quick Step and that's all I can say."
The American was then asked for his opinion on Garmin boss Jonathan Vaughters' comment that the six-month suspension reportedly due to be imposed on individuals who have done a deal with USADA doesn't exist. "I don't know anything about that," he said.
Pressed on whether he has testified against Armstrong, Leipheimer replied: "Again, I don't have anything to say about that. I don't think it would help the situation to comment on speculation, so I'm not going to say anything. I'm not saying anything or denying anything. I'm just saying that I have no comment."
Leipheimer then refused to comment on whether he has testified to the investigations into Armstrong conducted by the US Food and Drug Administration and USADA. He also gave no comment when asked if a rider facing a six-month ban should be racing the Tour de France and on De Telegraaf's suggestion that he pulled out of the US Olympic team because of his involvement in the USADA inquiry.
Asked about his relationship with Armstrong, he commented: "I haven't spoken with him. I haven't heard from him."

According to a report by local television station WTVA, Hill was taken to a detention center on Tuesday and is being held on a $10,000 bond.
Details of the alleged assault have not been released at this time, but more information on the incident in question will likely be detailed soon.

Check it out guys! http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/amp/Power%20filter/PowerEN.htm
We can now give some clean power to our gear for a reasonable price!
The price has not been mentioned and its for US users only.
Kingwa has put the price up, only $105. But he lists it in the price list as having 12 outlets which obviously it does not have. It has 10.
That is definitely cheap,waiting for someone to review it.
Very interesting, i guess you can get a discount it you buy some power cables along with.
I'll be ordering it and comparing it to ac-215, which has a going price of $125, used price of ~$75. I've got 3 audio-gd power cables already so can compare with and without aftermarket power cable. I think it will be tough competition, furman put a lot of circuitry inside the ac-215 and know about the detrimental effects of surge protection circuitry and try to minimize that.
I'm also going to inquire about shorter length power cables, you likely will not need 1.5m power cables.
I just sent an e-mail to kingwa asking about this. I have a plan that could work, but want to be 100% sure it could work before telling anyone about it.
I have my ears pointing toward you
I plan on daisy chaining some power conditioners, do you guys know of anything more suitable than http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/1/8/2/416182.jpg
Think I could make something like that with better quality? Other option is to order a 1-2 inch power cable from audio-gd.
Just placed order, also asked if they could make an adapter like the one above :P or a 2" cable power cord LOL.
Is there a gain is sound quality to be gained by having the shortest power cable?
Do you have to be a certified electrician to install the inwall power outlet?
I have never done this before so I don't know where to start.
Ok I got a reply from kingwa. This will work for other countries as well, but I will be talking about Australia now. What we can do is send a good Australian power plug to Kingwa and ask him to make us a power cable that will go from the wall into the Power Supply Filter Outlet. From here, we can buy custom made US power cables (with the US plug) and go from the unit itself to your components (DAC, amp, speakers etc). The reason why I saw buy an Australian plug here and sent it all the way to kingwa because as we know Audio-GD has a great price/part ratio, so we will most likely getting huge bang for buck buying from them.
Probably end up costing $105us for the unit itself, $115us for the Australian power cable and $120us for each US power cable we purchase plus shipping for all of them. This is just using a cheap $35 Australian power plug. We do have Furutech one's here, but are about $90 each.
I understand that, but it just doubles the total price having to buy extra cables.
I don't know about length of power cable, it may actually be better to have a certain length because power cable geometry and/or shielding can reject some emf/rfi before it enters the equipment, but I want a short one to connect two power conditioners together.
No... but if you are forgetful or never did any electrical DIY, I would highly recommend just getting an electrician to do it for you. If you decide to do it yourself though, remember, turn off the power...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ywgKSSudj4&feature=PlayList&p=F17B350B56F13920&playnext_from=PL&index=8 This is a series of videos on installing an inwall power outlet, I'd rather not do it myself because I am rather amnesiac when DIY'ing and electrocuting myself isn't out of the possibility :p.
I asked about various lengths of cable but got no price quote on a cordless or 2" power cable. I guess I'll have to buy or make my own cableless power cable.
Thanks for the video Halo.
Do you guys know if it is worth asking Kingwa to swap his fake Oyaide connectors on his power cable for some Furutech FI-50M? http://www.furutech.com/a2008/product2.asp?prodNo=282
I was asking myself if connectors on power cables made that much of a difference. I can get those Piezo Ceramic Series Power Connectors for a good price.
