Confused by LMP and Ultrasound EDD!!
My last period was on 21 August 2012 my cycles chnage but on average around about 32 33 days. Given that my last period was on the 21st my midwife gave me an EDD of 29th may 2013 which is 40 weeks from my LMP however when i went to my 12 weeks scan i was only 9 weeks 3 days and my due date changed to 18 june 2013 and my daughter came on the 19th june i was just wondering does this mean i actually conceived later than usual because thats a 3 week difference in dates and given that my daughter came around the time of the EDD given from the scan its more correct??

Dear Mellia23,
Welcome to the forum and thank you for posting your question here.
To begin with, I just wanted to note that the estimated due date is just that - an estimation. Only around 5% of babies are actually born on their due date. As I'm sure you know, most babies arrive between weeks 37-42. Therefore, it could actually be that you were more than 40 weeks pregnant when you had your daughter.
Early scans are the most accurate type of scan at predicting the due date. Therefore, it could also be that you ovulated later than you expected. I would say that this is particularly the case given that your cycles are not completely regular and are longer than the average.
So, we cannot say for sure as it could be that your baby was born at a 'later week' than average although it is statistically more likely (given the circumstances you describe) that your baby was conceived later than you first thought.
I hope this helps.
Warm wishes,

Bruno Giacosa makes wine not only with grapes from his property but also with grapes purchased from growers he has known for 30 years and trusts completely. He, in fact, made his reputation as a outstanding selector of fruit. The winemaking methods employed by this estate are scrupulous and traditional without ignoring the benefits of modern technique.

About PiedmontView a map of Piedmont wineries (PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

LONG BEACH - The Long Beach City College Board of Trustees on Wednesday voted to eliminate 11 programs this fall as hundreds of students and faculty sounded their voices in protest.
President Trustee Roberto Uranga said the reductions were difficult but necessary to keep the college afloat and offset a $6.4 million structural deficit left from state funding cuts.
"It's not popular but it's the right thing to do to keep this college (fiscally) sound and actively working to provide quality programs and services to our students and this community," he said, adding that programs on the list were the result of a careful decision-making process that took more than a year.
The five-member board voted 4-1 in favor of the program eliminations following a three-hour meeting on the college's liberal arts campus. Trustee Mark Bowen was the lone member to vote against the proposal.
In front of a room filled with more than 200 faculty and students, Lynn Shaw, president of the faculty union, said the arts and trade programs are essential for the community and local work force.
The 11 programs to be cut include: auto body technology, aviation maintenance, audio production, interior design, welding, automotive technology, real estate, photography, air conditioning/refrigeration /heating, diesel mechanics and carpentry.
Officials had recommended to discontinue the diagnostic medical imaging program, but the board voted to keep the program through July 2014, noting its high completion rate and future growth predicted in the medical field.
Jim Steele, chairman of diagnostic medical imaging, said his program has a wait list of 130 students and provides graduates with good-paying jobs in the medical field. Lakewood resident Sarah Reddik, 24, has been on the waiting list for more than three years and is slated to start the program this fall.
Reddik said she's relieved the board decided to keep the program for now. Reddik was joined by her mother Robin Reddik, who graduated from the diagnostic medical imaging program at LBCC in 1982 and hopes her daughter can follow in her footsteps.
Javier Rivera, department chairman of construction trades, said his department lost six out of its nine programs, leaving just architecture, electronics and sheet metal. Rivera said the demand for construction jobs is projected to grow up to 17 percent by 2014 and many of his students are now preparing for jobs on the new Gerald Desmond Bridge replacement project, which broke ground this month.
"There's every indication the need for construction is growing in our area and yet we're losing these important trades," he said.
"Construction trades have now been virtually wiped out at Long Beach City College. It doesn't make any sense."
Nancy Allen, head of the audio production program since 1986, said her program supplies sound for film, music and theater and is an essential component in the entertainment industry. The program was the only one in the music department to be cut.
"We do the sound for everybody, which is why this is so baffling," she said.
Student Marcel Cook said he was hoping to complete the auto body technology program and start a career as a mechanic. Cook, 22, said he's now considering other options, such as joining the military.
"These are programs for jobs that we're always going to need, so I don't really understand why they're doing this," Cook said.
Officials said the college will work with affected students to provide counseling and other support services, including offering summer 2013 courses for discontinued programs in which five or more students are within two classes of graduation.
The program eliminations could include layoffs for up to 18 full-time faculty, which will be decided under faculty seniority rules next month. The college has about 200 academic programs and more than 300 full-time faculty.
The struggles at LBCC highlight the state's funding crisis in education. California's community college system has seen an $809 million loss in state funding since 2008.
LBCC has seen its funding cut by more than $10 million, or 9.7 percent, while at the same time experiencing an increase in demand from local students and record numbers of high school graduates.
Trustee Jeffrey Kellogg noted that the college still faces a structural deficit despite the passage of Proposition 30, Gov. Jerry Brown's tax measure, in November.
"We're taking this action because it is truly the best of a bad situation," he said.
LBCC officials originally planned to cut up to 17 programs but decided to save a few following the passage of Prop. 30.
Programs planned for elimination that were saved include: film, sheet metal, human services, medical assisting and radio-television.
Officials said the recommendations were made following input from faculty, union representatives and administrators.
LBCC President Eloy Oakley has said the reductions will allow the college to focus more resources on core courses, such as math, English and science, to improve transfer and graduation rates.
Last fall, hundreds of students were put on waiting lists for core courses despite efforts to increase class sizes by about 10 percent.
Oakley said the college still has a comprehensive career technical education program, adding that the college will continue to develop new technical programs in high-demand fields including cyber security and engineering.
The college will save $2.4 million from the proposed program cuts, but the savings will not be enough to close the budget shortfall.
Officials are considering additional reductions in management, full-time faculty and other staff.
Last year, the board voted to lay off 55 employees and reduce contracts for 96 positions for a savings of more than $5 million.

SAN BERNARDINO - The trial for the last remaining suspect in the "Dead Presidents" quadruple slaying of July 2000 began Tuesday with a crash course on gangs in the area.
Deputy District Attorney Denise Yoakum used her opening statements to tell the jury that she believes the defendant, Froylan "danger" Chiprez, was a gunman in a shooting that killed four men and wounded two others on July 9, 2000, in the driveway of a Vine Street duplex in San Bernardino.
Yoakum went on to say that the shooting happened because there were power struggles within the San Bernardino street gangs Little Counts and Seventh Street, cliques within the West Side Verdugo, which is controlled by a prison gang.
Those who died were: 33-year-old Johnny Agudo; his brother, Gilbert "Gibby" Agudo, 27; Anthony "Antdog" Luna, 23; and Luna's cousin, Marcelino "Spooky" Luna, 19.
Armondo Villasenor and Michael Velarde were wounded.
Two of the victims were presidents of local street gangs, prompting some law enforcement circles to dub the case "Dead Presidents."
"At the end of this case, you're going to learn that being a gang member is not a lifestyle, it is a death style," Yoakum said.
In the early morning of July 9, 2000, Chiprez and his crew got guns and bulletproof vests and went to the residence on Vine Street to remove fellow gang members from their positions of power, Yoakum said.
Chiprez, who has denied gang involvement and pleaded not guilty to the charges, shook his head in disagreement as Yoakum gave her account of what happened.
After plotting and planning, Chiprez and three others - Luis Mendoza, Lorenzo Arias and John Ramirez - opened fire on the victims, Yoakum said.
"They thought they killed the bosses. They thought they killed the rivals. They thought they killed the witnesses and there's no one left to tell," she said.
"They left and went to Mexico thinking they finished everything."
But Villasenor and Velarde survived, Yoakum said.
Defense lawyer James Gass reserved his opening statements until later in the trial.
Authorities arrested Chiprez on June 21, 2011, in Tijuana. He was extradited to the U.S. in December.
Chiprez is charged with four counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder and special circumstances for an intentional killing while being active in a street gang, according to court records.
Because Chiprez was extradited from Mexico, prosecutors cannot seek the death penalty. Instead, he is facing life without the possibility of parole.
Two of the other defendants, Mendoza and Arias, have already gone to trial and were convicted. They were sentenced to the death penalty.
Ramirez, the fourth defendant, accepted a plea bargain before going to trial.
Several witnesses are expected to testify today inside San Bernardino Superior Court.

40-foot sinkhole eats 8 Corvettes at museum
(NEWSER) – A 40-foot sinkhole opened up under the National Corvette Museum's Sky Dome this morning, swallowing eight cars. The sinkhole opened sometime before 5:30am, cutting off power to the landmark in Bowling Green, Ky., by 5:39am, the Courier-Journal reports. That set off a fire alarm, but when emergency crews arrived, they found the sinkhole instead. No one was injured in the incident.

There are very few things in the world that are black and white to me. Wherein I am comfortable saying "this is ALWAYS right," or "this is NEVER ok."For instance, I am a pretty steady liberal on most things, but I don't have a clear line on abortion. I take issue with both sides of the aisle on this one, and it is just a difficult, painful truth of our society.

It might be helpful for newbs to think of BT4 as "Ubuntu 8.10" when looking for help. It's like Ubuntu, but better, plus a ginourmous swiss army knife consisting of every cool security tool available. For this (and other security/development reasons) you'll be downloading software from a different repository than most of the other newbs on the ubuntu forums. If you start off by asking for help w/ BT4 when all you need is help figuring out which partitions are what, you're going to confuse yourself and everyone else who's trying to help you.
Solution: First take the time to figure out where your repositories are and how you install and update this distro. Learn a little about kde, and especially, performing routine administrative functions from the cli (the terminal window located under 'system') Until you get your feet under you, think of it as ubuntu with a bunch of other cool stuff added. All of the other distro differences may well be in a mysterious cloud for you - don't worry - that will soak in with each passing week.
Breaking things and then having to fix them is how you learn. You'll get good help at those forums when you break something. Many of the people there are quite tolerant. Many will ignore "Please Help!" requests, but there are quite a few that actually have the patience to try and help you anyway! Thats no excuse of course, but it illustrates my point, which is that if you search the forums for answers first, write a legible question, post it in the right place, you'll probably get help there within minutes or a few hours tops, and it'll be from someone who really knows what they're doing. I knew UNIX, not Linux, and they helped me immeasurably.
I've been on BT4 less than 24hrs now, and thats just a first impression of the situation. Please feel free to correct me. I know what it's like to have something really basic not work, and have no idea where to start. Don't be put off w/ the idea that you can't find much basic help from BT afficionados.. There's a ton of help available elsewhere,
Well guys?

December 1, 2006
Dear FOS11 Members:
Please join us as we discuss one of the most important 9/11 Commission recommendations that has not yet been implemented: preventing nuclear terrorism.
In December 2005, the 9/11 Commissioners gave the government a "D" in its effort to keep weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of terrorists. Osama bin Laden has pledged to kill 4 million Americans with a nuclear bomb (and received a religious "fatwah" to do so); just like he pledged to take down the Twin Towers in the 1990's.
The good news is we can stop him. There are limited nuclear weapon materials, and they can be locked down. But in order to do that, we have to speak out, to ensure that our leaders take the appropriate actions. Together, we can turn that "D" into an "A".
This Monday, December 4 there will be a screening at the London School of Economics at 5:30 PM, in room E168. Jamie Rubin, former Assistant Secretary of State and former reporter for Sky News is speaking and FOS11 co-founder Carie Lemack will be there to answer any questions.
Please come if you can. We will talk about the dangers, but, more importantly, we will talk about what you can do to make a difference.
To learn more, please visit www.saferworld.org or www.lastbestchance.org.
This can be a scary subject, one that can leave you feeling hopeless. We aim to change that, to make nuclear terrorism an issue that is less frightening than empowering. With knowledge, there is power. Each of us can make a difference. I look forward to seeing you there.
Carie LemackDaughter, Judy LarocqueCo-founder, Families of September 11

Yeah, he is probably counting down the days until he can leave the country and head back to Chopped Canada where he will be worshiped by 18 year old production assistants and he can remove himself from the guest bedroom where Donna Martin wallpaper stares down at him. I know that Tori Spelling has "forgiven" him but from the things his ex-wife said to his actions during that marriage to what he has done throughout his marriage to Tori I don't see this marriage lasting much longer. i do see Tori trying to secure a job as a full-time judge on the show. Even though she doesn't cook or eat she has been to some really nice restaurants.

Is Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome as reason for aversion towards sex life?
I have been married for 3 years and now planning to have baby. But recently i was diagnosed with PCOS and from then i am not interested in having intercourse. I feel so much irritated to think of sex. Before diagnosis my husband and I had a very satisfactory intercourse but now a days I don't feel like having sex. Is this because of the hormone imbalance of PCOS?
8th July 2014 11:10 PM #2
Dear janemartina,
Thank you for posting this interesting question.
It is true that PCOS can affect your emotions due to the hormone imbalance. PCOS has been linked to mood swings, anxiety attacks and even depression.
However, you say that previously you and your husband did not have any problems with making love. Therefore, I would say that it is more likely that it is the worry about conceiving which has caused the change in your emotions concerning love-making. Many couples do find that if conceiving becomes a job or process to 'go through' in order to make a baby then it takes the joy out of making love. It can become just another task to complete in a busy day and can be associated with stress and worry. You are more likely to experience these sort of emotions if you have any fertility issues.
I know that it is easier said than done, but try to keep the fun and spontaneity in your love-making. Surprise each other with acts of romance and put time into creating a relaxing, enjoyable atmosphere.
It may be that your PCOS has some affect on your emotions surrounding sex too but it is likely that what I have described above is also having an impact. Do you feel able to talk to your husband about this?
Best wishes,

Yes , you are right LJ. only afer trying to conceive I feel this way. I haven't discussed this with my husband and I think its right time to discuss with him about this.
10th July 2014 05:24 AM #4
Thanks for your reply janemartina.
I hope you find that sharing your feelings with your husband about this helps you both to talk more about the emotions that can arise when you are trying to conceive. I hope too that you are able to enjoy thinking about some ways to make love-making more enjoyable and relaxed.
Warm wishes,

Measuring Function Execution Time
Why would you want to measure the execution time of a function call? There could be several reasons:
- You want to improve the speed of your code, measuring how much faster it is since the previous version
- You want to compare two implementations of the same functionality with regards to speed
The Basic Way
The most basic way to measur function execution time is to use the function tc in the module timer. An example is shown below:
1> timer:tc(lists, seq, [1,10]). {5,[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]} 2>
This tells us that generating the list with integers from 1 to 10 using the lists module took 5 microseconds (thats micro, not milli).
Making It More Useful
The tc function is already quite useful, but generally function execution times vary depending on different circumstances. In most cases it is external ones, such as garbage collection, io operations etc. To get a more stable view of the performance of your function, a simple helper function is easy to write:
test_avg(M, F, A, N) when N > 0 -> L = test_loop(M, F, A, N, []), Length = length(L), Min = lists:min(L), Max = lists:max(L), Med = lists:nth(round((Length / 2)), lists:sort(L)), Avg = round(lists:foldl(fun(X, Sum) -> X + Sum end, 0, L) / Length), io:format("Range: ~b - ~b mics~n" "Median: ~b mics~n" "Average: ~b mics~n", [Min, Max, Med, Avg]), Med. test_loop(_M, _F, _A, 0, List) -> List; test_loop(M, F, A, N, List) -> {T, _Result} = timer:tc(M, F, A), test_loop(M, F, A, N - 1, [T|List]).
With this function we get both the minimum, the maximum, the median and the average execution time:
2> test_avg(lists, seq, [1,10], 10000). Range: 2 - 7824 mics Median: 3 mics Average: 4 mics 3 3>
The function returns the median execution time, since it is the best way to dodge the large numbers (in this case 7824) that are exceptions to the normal execution time.
Using this function or just timer:tc/3 you can easily measure execution time for functions in the Erlang shell. Very useful!

A few weeks ago, teams of federal agents and sheriff's deputies fanned out across Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties, searching 17 businesses and arresting three people.
For more than a year, they'd been investigating what they called a massive drug conspiracy involving illegal sales out of front businesses and parties at which scores or hundreds of people got high. The product seized had a street value of about $20 million.
The charges? All misdemeanors.
The feds were investigating not cocaine or methamphetamine, but nitrous oxide, a mood-altering gas people inhale for the euphoric effects.
The relatively minor charges that resulted from the March 22 raid carry a maximum of a year in prison and a $100,000 fine, illustrating the difficulty authorities face in combating a growing substance abuse problem.Nitrous oxide, or "nozz," is a prescription drug whose euphoric high can be addictive, and using it without oxygen mixed in can cause permanent neurological damage.But because it's also a legal product that can be used in medicine or to boost car performance, the penalties are limited even under federal law.
Selling it for ingestion without a prescription is only a federal misdemeanor. And there's almost nothing state or local prosecutors can do if people are of age.
"A 19-year-old can purchase and huff all the nitrous they want, and the person that sells it to them cannot be prosecuted by the state of California," said Joseph O. Johns, who heads environmental prosecutions for the U.S. attorney's office in L.A. "That is a gigantic regulatory gap."
Possessing nitrous with the intent to ingest it (other than in medical or dental uses) is a misdemeanor in California. But intent is difficult to prove.
Until 2009, selling nitrous to anyone was legal under state law. A new law passed that year making it a misdemeanor to sell it to a minor.
The L.A. City Attorney's Office hasn't prosecuted many people on nitrous charges, and a spokeswoman for the L.A. County District Attorney's Office had no record of any prosecutions.
Meanwhile, the problem grows, leading the Sheriff's Department and others to consider a push for stronger legislation.
"I had hoped it would dissipate," said Veronica De Alba, a deputy city attorney in L.A. who helped write the 2009 law and has worked on prevention efforts. "But it just seems to be getting bigger."
Beyond whip-its
Known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide has been used in medicine and dentistry for more than a century.
Recreational use has been around almost as long: There were "laughing gas parties" at the turn of the last century, said Dr. Sean Nordt, an assistant professor at USC's Keck School of Medicine.
But a nitrous party today is a far cry from the old days of "whip-its" "" cans of whipped cream huffed for the nitrous oxide.
"It's gone from a group of teenagers or college kids sitting around and huffing a half-dozen whip-it canisters to hundreds of kids getting together for a house party centered around a couple of 80-pound cylinders of nitrous," Johns said.
He said the problem has "industrialized" in the past five years as the popularity of the drug has grown and the Internet has made it easier to arrange huge parties.
And true to the laws of economics, shady suppliers have sprung up to meet the demand. Authorities said the businesses raided in March posed as auto shops, but had only a handful of parts for window dressing.
"They were auto shops without any auto parts," L.A. County sheriff's Sgt. Chris Meadows said.
The nitrous canisters are sold in rainbow colors or bright, almost psychedelic hues: lime green or cadmium yellow. Some have Betty Boop or Hello Kitty stickers.
"It's not some middle-aged dude taking his Corvette to the racetrack," Johns said.
The industrial-sized supply has led to industrial-strength use.
"Individuals are essentially huffing one balloon after the other over the course of an evening," Johns said.
That can make the health effects more dangerous as repeated use can lead to nerve damage and loss of motor skills, Nordt said.
In some cases, that has led to young people being unable to grip a pencil or even walk.
"Your brain doesn't like not having oxygen, and once that happens, there's no going back," Nordt said.
If huffed directly from the tank rather than a balloon, nitrous can even cause immediate death. People can suffer a collapsed lung because of the high pressure, and the extremely cold gas can cause potentially fatal vocal cord spasms.
Still, people don't often end up in emergency rooms because of the direct health effects, since those usually take longer to show up.
"It's usually, 'Hey, they were high and they got hit by a bus,' " Nordt said.
When an L.A. County sheriff's team started monitoring Facebook regularly, deputies were surprised by the number of parties that openly advertised nozz.
"We didn't realize how bad it was until we started monitoring the social media and seeing that these parties were just all over the place," said Meadows, who heads the department's Electronic Communications Triage team.
Over this year's spring break, right after the huge raid, authorities said they saw a flurry of parties involving teens with spare time.
On March 30 alone, deputies went to six parties advertised online with nitrous, along with illegal drugs and alcohol. The number startled even them.
"Parents?" a Sheriff's Department spokesman wondered on Twitter.
The problem has been seen all over: in Los Angeles, including the San Fernando Valley, in East L.A., in the Antelope Valley and elsewhere, Meadows said.
Years ago, there were "flier" parties, advertised on glossy postcards, De Alba said.
"What's happened now is that Facebook has really enabled the parties to become even bigger and to be set up at a faster pace," she said.
Nozz parties usually have a cover charge, plus $5 or so per balloon of nitrous.
"It's like going to Knott's Berry Farm and having to buy $8 popcorn, I guess," Meadows said. "You still have to pay to get in."
Sometimes people pass out after using nitrous, and young girls have been sexually assaulted while unconscious, Meadows said.
The federal violations are investigated by the Food and Drug Administration's criminal agents under a law that forbids misbranding a drug.
Johnson said there have been few if any prior federal prosecutions, but he said the office is using "imperfect tools" to try to step into a regulatory gap.
Meadows said stiffer laws would not only punish offenders, but would send a message and perhaps prevent people from using in the first place. "I think because it's not heavily regulated or a felony, people think it's more tolerable socially," Meadows said. "So I think there's that perception that it's not as dangerous because there's no laws protecting people from it. "

Noticed the buyers survey at the top of the marketplaces, really thinking one should be put together for authors as well.
+1. Although it should probably be an addition to the existing survey.
Question: Are you an author?
If yes: Show author questions. If no: Finish the survey.
This way there won't be a useless popup for non-authors on top.
Thinking the author survey should be a link sent out via email.
We would probably announce an author survey via the author dashboard. Though it's not my area anymore so I'm unsure!
I think the survey got to personal. I started it and then closed it without finishing. I don't know how knowing how much money I make or what I do for a living helps Envato improve it's site. That survey could have been a lot shorter. It was also laid out completely wrong. The very satisfied answers should have been the first choice. This made it very hard to fill out the survey. ( not that I finished because of the personal questions. ) ( Don't care that it is anonymous, it's the principle that matters )
Yeah, some questions are a bit too personal I agree. Also, I couldn`t find Germany in the list of countries at the end
Looks like Paypal satisfaction survey to me o.O
Bebel said
Yeah, some questions are a bit too personal I agree. Also, I couldn`t find Germany in the list of countries at the end
Germany was in the list but an alphabetical order would have been much easier
Hey guys, the survey is optional so if it's not your thing- don't worry. If you are in the mood to give us some feedback, there's a whole range of questions in there because we want to get as much information as possible in a short time. (It's better to do one survey than 15).
Also- thanks for the feedback on the survey itself guys.
Did I notice Photodune missing from the list of sites?

It feels nice and adds a new wedge to my bag. Being a new player, I need all the help I can until I get a better feel for how my skills are and how I can apply them to my golf game.
matched my set,bites well on hard greens, easy to hit
Excellent conditione, as described. I am pleased with my purchase. No issues with this purchaze.
Hope the new tour preferred ATV design works like this. Any shot and any lie has the perfect bounce. I also like the matching gap wedge to be a real wedge too, not a huge, ungainly cavityback like most set matching wedges
The little extra weight in toe is very beneficial. The sole looks funky, but it works well. Performs well in most short game uses.

The Chesapeake Bay Program had great success in Beijing from March 28 to April 5, 2009, when we worked with the World Bank and United Nations Global Environment Facility (UN-GEF) to develop the first-ever watershed program in China for the Hai River watershed, a 123,000-square-mile area that includes the 31 million people in Beijing and Tianjin.
Several of the goals of the World Bank and UN-GEF project were to:
At a five-day conference, we worked with Chinese federal level equivalents of the EPA, Department of Agriculture and the Department of Water Resources. Representatives and experts from the province (state) and local levels were also present. What our Chinese colleagues brought to the table was energy, a passion to begin their first watershed program, and knowledge that the status quo of polluted water and air wasn't good enough.
They also brought legacy baggage: inexperience with watershed programs, ministries and departments that have never worked together on a watershed scale, and the perspective that their ministries treat what should be public domain data as private property. If data is to be had, it has to be purchased from the agency that collected it, generating problems in a watershed program that is short on monitoring, discharge and emission data to begin with.
This sounds pretty grim, but it's really not too different than in the 1980s when the Bay Program began, and, ya' know, ya' gotta start somewhere.
The conference began with two days of six interrelated presentations that told the story of the Chesapeake Bay Program's integrated air, watershed, estuary and living resources models. Our Chinese colleagues were particularly interested in the air and watershed models, as they're developing an assessment of the overall proportions of point and nonpoint source loads to the Bo Hai watershed. This is exact same question the Bay Program set out to answer with the first watershed model in the early 1980s.
In our discussions on the first day, it came out that there was a real interest in estimating the land export factors for the Hai watershed, so we went back to the hotel after dinner and worked pretty much though the night to put together a new presentation specifically on this topic. It's kind of cool we can do this with the internet. Even on the other side of the world, we were able to use our web-served documentation and reports to make this new presentation happen.
The Bay Program's open web-based approach was also a revelation to our Chinese colleagues, as was our program's office, which holds EPA, university, U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, Forest Service, state agency personnel, and representatives from other organizations all working on the same watershed. This is completely different from the insular and closed approach in Chinese public agencies today.
By the end of the technology transfer conference, we heard consensus about taking an overall mass balance approach for nutrient inputs and outputs in the Hai River watershed – a key first step that needs to be taken in any study. We encouraged them to begin a spreadsheet of the mass balance right away, taking into account the numbers of animals in each county and the estimated loads from animal and village populations. The important thing was to get some momentum going on this project, as well as to get an early sense of the data gaps and problems that would need to be sorted out. There will be a thousand areas of compromise and best professional judgments that will be key to putting this first watershed assessment together.
Overall, our participation was a great success. Rarely have we felt the Bay Program have such a large impact over such a short period of time. Our Chinese colleagues saw the Bay Program as an example to follow. After 30 years of our watershed protection program, we are at a Phase 5 level of watershed modeling, while they're able to start at a Phase 1 or Phase 2 level and build from there.
We congratulate and applaud our Chinese colleagues for beginning this watershed approach. It's the right track and will in the long run provide the most complete and cost-effective environmental protection. A new cooperation among the different Chinese agencies leading this project has begun, which will be key to any success with their first watershed program. Our colleagues in Beijing have made good progress in this direction and have the right mix of environmental, agricultural and water resource agencies at the table, as well as a good representation from the federal, provincial and local levels.
We thank our Chinese colleagues for their kind hospitality and for making the Chesapeake Bay Program a part of their conference.
Background on the Hai watershed and Bohai Sea:
Covering a catchment area of 123,000 square miles, the Hai River is a crucial river in North China formed by the convergence of five rivers in Tianjin: the Chao River, the Yongding River, the Daqing River, the Ziya River and the Hutuo River. The Hai River flows into the Bohai Sea.
China is a country of mixed messages. I noticed on my first night in Beijing that in the sink of my hotel bathroom was a large red sign with an international red circle and slash over a picture of a drinking water glass. Clearly, an indication not to drink the water. Next to it were two drinking water glasses that were set out ready for use.
The theme of mixed messages seems to sum up the dichotomy in China between increasing prosperity on one hand, and huge environmental problems on the other. Sure, there's a growth, but increasingly voices are being raised about the air that can't be breathed, and the water that can't be drunk. One hears, "Where's the fish? They were here in my father's day." With the growing prosperity in China, one also hears, "This is my air clean it up!" or, "This is my river – fix it!
For us in the Chesapeake region, this sounds all too familiar. In fact, there are parallels to where we were in this region in the 1970s and 1980s, when the environment all around us seemed to be heading irretrievably downhill. It was about then that citizens here said "Enough!" and started restoring the Chesapeake Bay, just about one decade after the citizens of the entire country said "Enough!" on the first Earth Day in 1970, and we began the long process of cleaning up our air and waters. China now seems to be on the cusp of that same decision.
This, then, was the backdrop for the Chesapeake Bay Program's visit to Beijing this April, when we spoke with Chinese scientists and managers from three different agencies about setting up China's first watershed program. In this workshop, there were three federal-level Chinese agencies, roughly equivalent to our EPA, Department of Agriculture, and U.S. Geological Survey, as well as provincial and local government representatives. People from these different agencies were meeting together for the first time and taking about the first watershed program ever in China.
They were totally wowed with the Bay Program's work as we relayed the different tools of research, monitoring and modeling we used in the Chesapeake. At the close of a week of intense discussion and technology transfer, we left them charged up, and convinced that they're on the right track with this new watershed approach. They were going to first apply it to the Bo-Hai basin, a watershed of 123,000 square miles that contains the mega cities of Beijing, Tianjin, and the adjacent coastal bay. With what they learned in the Bo-Hai basin, they'll expand to other watersheds in China.
This is an example of an environmental jump-start, similar to the economic leapfrogging the Chinese have mastered. We can hope that their watershed programs avoid our mistakes, and profit from our successes. For example, we shared with our Chinese colleagues our knowledge of atmospheric deposition, the highest nutrient input load to the Chesapeake watershed. Higher than fertilizer loads. Higher than manure loads. And about a third of the nitrogen load delivered to the Chesapeake.
Our Chinese hosts were incredulous and suggested that this could not be a feature of Chinese watersheds. We suggested, in the face of evidence of rapidly expanding industrialization with little or no controls of nitrogen oxide emissions, that the nitrogen deposition in China may be on the order of about 20 kilograms of nitrogen per hectare. The older, more experienced Chinese professionals were most skeptical. Point sources, manure and fertilizer loads, they knew, and they planned to track these loads in their nascent watershed program. They even had work underway to track "village loads," a euphemism for human wastes used as fertilizer in agricultural fields, still a feature of Chinese small plot village agriculture. But atmospheric deposition loads of nitrogen? They just couldn't believe it.
The very next day one of the bright Chinese managers found a reference for an atmospheric deposition study in China. The verdict? Serendipity and happenstance put that referenced Chinese atmospheric deposition load right at 20 kilograms per hectare, the load we has suggested just the previous day as what may be found in China. The Bay Program's reputation was secured!
That bright young manager was one of what we'll call the "young innovators": up-and-coming men and women from junior management with a whole career ahead of them and ready to move up. My impression was that the young innovators were the key to China's environmental future. These mid-level managers seemed to be the most eager to learn about the Bay Program's long-established triad of monitoring, modeling and research that develops the plans that drive implementation of restoration efforts in the Chesapeake. We shared with them the importance of open-source, public-domain data, information, models and analysis.
Most importantly, we shared with them the idea that information wants to be free. That is, the power of information is magnified and more fully applied when it's available to all, and we have "every brain in the game." The status quo in China today is that Chinese agencies use information as a zero sum game. They think, "If I have the information, then I know something that you don't, and if you want that information you're going to have to pay for it." This is no way to run a watershed program! Imagine what would happen to our Chesapeake partnership if USGS, NOAA, EPA, and every state agency wanted to be paid for the data that they collected as part of their publicly funded mission?
China clearly needs to innovate, throw out their old-think that "power comes from tightly held information" business model, and become more "Google-like." China needs to ask, "What would Google do?" Google's business model is to develop useful information and then give it away. Hence, these Google products: Google Search, Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Images, Gmail, You Tube, and Google just about everything.
This develops a huge customer base that Google uses for subtle targeted ad placement.
Public agencies, especially in China, need to think of how to best apply a form of this business model. Public agencies like ours don't advertise, of course, but we do need to reach people with information, make it downloadable, web-browsable, relevant and useful. And so we also want to build a large customer base just the same as Google.
For China, and for us at the Bay Program, the "What Would Google Do?" questions take the form of:
There's reason for hope in China's new watershed program and other environmental programs. They're learning from us and they're anxious to begin the hard work. I was questioned by a Chinese Department of Agriculture colleague who works at the local level to encourage rural villages to install biogas digesters for human and animal manure. He asked me, "Why aren't these beneficial biogas digesters more widely adopted in American villages?" He had little understanding of how North American large-scale agriculture works and how it's different from the small-scale village plot farming in China, but the man's drive and passion to implement good environmental management practices in Chinese villages was clear.
Change and environmental restoration won't come easy in China. It'll be one village biogas digester at a time, along with a hundred different types of best management practices. But it can come. Like with the Chesapeake Bay, the Chinese will need to gird themselves for a long, hard struggle. But given time, a lot of hard work, and a chance for the young innovators to apply their skills and passion, change will come.

Welcome to this week's installment of the BayBlog Question of the Week! Each week we'll take a question submitted through the Chesapeake Bay Program website and answer it here for all to read.
This week, Dave is trying to get a sense of "who is causing what" in relation to the Chesapeake Bay's pollution issues. He wants to know: what are the main sources of nitrogen, phosphorous and sediment to the Bay?
It's important to know where Chesapeake Bay pollution comes from because we can use that knowledge to do our part to reduce the amount of pollutants each of us contributes to the Bay and its local waterways.
Nitrogen occurs naturally in soil, animal waste, plant material and the atmosphere. However, most of the nitrogen delivered to the Bay comes from:
Phosphorous, like nitrogen, occurs naturally in soil, animal waste and plant material. But these natural sources account for just 3 percent of the phosphorous loads to the Chesapeake Bay. Here are the major sources of the Bay's phosphorus pollution:
Sediments are loose particles of clay, silt and sand. When suspended in the water, sediment can block sunlight from reaching underwater bay grasses. As sediment settles to the bottom of the Bay and its rivers, it smothers bottom-dwelling animals (such as oysters). Sediment can also carry high concentrations of phosphorus and toxic chemicals.
Most of the sediment to the Bay comes from agriculture. Natural sources, stormwater runoff and erosion from streams make up the rest of the sources of sediment to the Bay and its local waterways.
While some sources of pollution may be larger than others, one source is not more important to prevent than any other. We must take any and all steps to reduce nitrogen, phosphorous and sediment loads to the Bay. Think about how your daily actions contribute pollution to the Bay and its rivers. Be sure to check out our Help the Bay tips to learn how you can do your part.
On the first Wednesday in December, landowner Ray Lewis proudly looked across one of three recently constructed wetlands on his upstate New York farm. Accompanied by several local organizations involved in the effort, Mr. Lewis explained to Jeff Lape, director of the Chesapeake Bay Program, why he had taken on such a project.
"My wife Loddie and I bought this farm several years ago and we've done lots of work to improve it. Building these wetlands will catch sediment and farm-related pollution before it enters our creek."
Lewis was referring to Carr's Creek, which borders approximately one mile of his farm before joining the upper Susquehanna River near Sidney, New York.
"These wetlands will also contribute to restoration and protection of the Chesapeake Bay," Lewis said.
And what compelled Lewis and his wife – who are recent transplants from Philadelphia – to take on such an ambitious project? It started a few years ago, when Lewis attended a meeting of the Sidney Center Improvement Group. There, he learned how landowners could improve local stream conditions through watershed management: conserving and restoring natural areas to protect habitats, the health of local waterways and quality of life in communities.
"It started a couple of years ago when I attended a meeting of the Sidney Center Improvement Group, learned about watershed management and how landowners could improve local stream conditions," explained Lewis.
After participating in a stream monitoring workshop sponsored by the Improvement Group, Izaak Walton League of America and the National Park Service, Lewis contacted the Delaware County Soil and Water Conservation District and the Upper Susquehanna Coalition. He soon was approving a design for a series of three wetlands financed in part by the Soil and Water District and constructed by the Coalition.
The Chesapeake Bay Program got involved with this project, hundreds of miles removed from the Bay, when the Sidney Center Improvement Group contacted the Bay Program for assistance managing streams, according to the group's president, Joe Lally. The group was referred to the National Park Service, a partner organization with the Bay Program.
"And we have received hands-on assistance from the Park Service's Rivers and Trails staff ever since," Lally said.

A new holistic admissions process at the University of Utah won't do enough to diversify the school as tuition and fee hikes put college further out of reach for underprivileged students, a group of protesters said Wednesday.
"They haven't taken the time to talk to us. It's going to affect our communities the most," said Alexis Santoyo, of MEChA, a Latino student organization. "Public education should be public. It should be accessible to anyone who wants to be in higher education."
About 50 students and activists gathered outside the John R. Park Building on campus Wednesday afternoon holding signs that included "Equal Education for everyone!" and "No to cuts!" They decried increases that will bring tuition and fees to about $7,300 next year, as well as a new $150 deposit required of incoming freshman students after they are accepted.
U. officials say the deposit will help administrators plan by cementing students' commitment to the school.
"It's a commitment to show that you're coming," said U. spokesman Keith Sterling. Low-income students can get a waiver, he said. The payment will be deducted from students' other fees.
But Isaac Giron, a junior economics and sociology major, said requiring the cash up front is one more hurdle.
"I have a family member that just can't pay that today," he said. "That wouldn't have happened to him last year."
The U.'s new holistic admissions process, meanwhile, aims to take the focus off standardized test scores and grade point averages and take into account personal qualities, community service and creativity.
"Respect for historically underrepresented populations" is also a factor in the new process, President David Pershing has written.
But Santoyo called the changes a "band-aid," and they shouldn't take the place of a program that promotes minority enrollment with sponsorship and tutoring. The diversity-scholars program is slated to be cut drastically next year, she said.
"We know [the new admissions process] is not necessarily going to work in Utah," she said. "What we see in our community isn't reflected in what we see on campus."

*Trigger warning: This blog post is about intimate partner violence*
Over fall break, my mom made an unexpected visit from California to New York City, where I go to school. She had been called the night before, told that her daughter was expressing suicidal thoughts, and asked to please come pick her up from the Metropolitan Hospital emergency psych ward as soon as possible.
"You know," Mom began, "you didn't really look scared or angry or anything when you were in there."
A good observation. I wasn't scared or angry. I was mostly just tired.
"You looked like you were thinking, 'One day, I'm going to write a book about this,' and like you were already writing it in your mind," she said.
In a way, I was. That night, …

I hope you guys could answer me on this little question!
I know this has been asked hundreds of times but I want an updated answer not one from 2007 etc..
I know all are recomending the Alfa AWUS036H, but 802.11n is on it's way into the marked now so im wondering if there is anything else that have full support for everything (aireplay-ng options and stabilty + 802.11n(for the future))
So is this the adapter to choose AWUS050NH?
Also I dont want a 2000mw adapter cause it sounds hazzardly....
another question: is this just a hoax or is this the real deal --> h**p://cgi.ebay.com/ALPA-AWUS-036EH-USB-WIFI-G-54Mbps-Wireless-Network-Card_W0QQitemZ330412528015QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_De faultDomain_0?hash=item4cee1f118f]

A gay supporter of former Massachusetts governor and presumptive presidential nominee Mitt Romney (R) has pulled his support and asked for his contribution back, the maximum allowed by law, over the candidate's stance on same sex marriage, according to CNN. Bill White, CEO of the New York City-based consulting firm the Constellations Group has supported Republican and Democratic politicians in the past, but after Saturday's commencement address at Liberty University, where Romney underlined his belief that marriage is "between one man and one woman," White has declared that he now supports President Barack Obama's re-election in November.
Obama affirmed his support of same sex unions last Wednesday, which provided an opportunity that White feels Romney missed. In a letter to the campaign, the erstwhile supporter wrote, "You have chosen to be on the wrong side of history and I do not support your run for president any longer."

By Judyrae Kruse Herald Columnist
Judyrae Kruse is taking some time off. Here is an encore column from July 2006.
In the "gee, I wish I could find the recipe for whatever" category, let's return to an incredibly popular, previously published-repeatedly recipe. Albeit one from, sadly, a now long-gone restaurant.
Because we here at the Forum figure that anybody who's brave enough — stalwart or heat-resistant enough — to fire up the oven, even though it has cooled down a wee bit, deserves to be rewarded. That's the why.
Getting to the how, in addition to its apparently great appeal, what's interesting about this particular raspberry recipe is that it calls for frozen, not fresh, berries. So buy or pick them, bag and freeze — or, presumably, the recipe also works well with fresh berries. Yes? No?
At any rate, here we go with the specifics, most recently reprinted in the Forum Dec. 17, 1997, per a new request from Phyllis Roberts, who writes, "Many years ago, you featured a raspberry dessert from Pelican Pete's in your Forum column.
"I don't have the recipe now, but look forward to using it for our raspberry crop. It was delicious and easy to make."
Pelican Pete's raspberry almond crisp
1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 cup plus 11/2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 package (10 ounces) frozen raspberries, thawed
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 cup cold water
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
Streusel topping (recipe follows)
Ice cream or whipped cream
For the crust, in medium bowl, combine flour and 1/4 cup sugar; cut in butter and mix until dough comes together in ball. Evenly pat mixture on bottom of greased 8-inch square baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
For the filling, place raspberries, remaining 11/2 tablespoons sugar and orange peel in small saucepan; bring to simmer. In small bowl, whisk water and cornstarch together to make a smooth paste; add to raspberry mixture, stirring constantly. Cook over low heat 3 to 4 minutes to thicken. Remove from heat and spread over baked crust.
Prepare streusel topping; sprinkle evenly over raspberry layer. Bake at 350 degrees about 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool 30 minutes, then cut into 6 to 8 squares. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Streusel topping
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup sliced almonds
In large bowl, combine brown sugar, flour and oats; cut in butter. Add almonds and stir just to combine.

Charlie Chaplin's Jewish Barber
For 70 years, fans of Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator," now widely available on DVD, have marveled at the prescience of the comedian's anti-Nazi satire. Filmed before America actually entered World War II, when some Hollywood movie moguls still soft-pedaled critiques of Hitler, "The Great Dictator" continues to fascinate today.
Recently published by Les éditions Capricci in Nantes, France, "Why Hairdressers? Timely Notes about 'The Great Dictator,'" by film critic Jean Narboni, makes some new and cogent observations about Chaplin's film. Narboni, a veteran journalist for the Cahiers du cinéma, compares the nonsense German-like doublespeak used by Chaplin as the dictator Hynkel (see video below) with the Nazi's "constant corruption of the German language" as noted by the philologist Victor Klemperer.
