Mellencamp's teenage sons face battery charges
Hud Mellencamp never turned himself in to the Monroe County Sheriff on Saturday.
Singer-songwriter John Mellencamp's two teenage sons face felony battery charges after Bloomington police say they severely beat a 19-year-old man late last month.
Eighteen-year-old Speck Mellencamp emerged from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office at around 12:30 PM Friday afternoon to be whisked away by his attorneys.
He is charged with felony battery stemming from an incident on the porch of a home that sits in the shadow of Memorial Stadium in Bloomington.
"This is sad. I mean, it's a terrible thing that happened and the community needs to sort that out. This is not the kind of behavior that is condoned here," said Betsy Green, Bloomington attorney for Alex Bucy.
Police say the beating was so severe that it caused facial fractures and that Bucy has been referred to a plastic surgeon.
The police report accuses Speck Mellencamp, his brother Hud Mellencamp and Ty Smith of beating Bucy after they approached him while he was sitting on his porch. The attack happened hours after a party at the home had wrapped up that Bucy hadn't even attended.
"My client believes in accountability but we also have a lot of faith in the community justice system here and we are not interested in making any statements and we are not interested in trying the case in the media or on TV," said Green.
Ty Smith turned himself in to authorities on Thursday. Hud Mellencamp is expected to do the same, possibly Monday. Having turned 18 last April, Speck Mellencamp is now an adult. He was not accompanied by his celebrity father when he got out of jail Friday, just his lawyers.
July 29th attack
Witnesses describe what happened on the front porch of a home on North Lincoln Street on July 29th as an ambush.
"He was just out there, minding his own business and they just all three came up and started attacking him," said the victim's roommate and witness, Chris Cain. "Alex was in defense mode pretty much the whole time and then all three of them were basically passing him around while he was sitting on the couch, just punching and kicking him."
Police say it was a brutal attack at the hands of Hud and Speck Mellencamp. Also accused is Ty Smith, who is the son of IU's baseball coach, Tracy Smith, and listed on the IU Football roster as a freshman wide receiver.
All three are accused of felony battery.
Investigators say the attack happened a few hours after a party, around 2:45 a.m. July 29th.
Witnesses say Speck Mellencamp got into an argument there and later came back, looking for vengeance.
Mellencamp told police someone had punched him earlier that night at the party.
"It was some type of retaliation, perhaps on the part of the individuals who returned and wrong place wrong time for the victim," said Bloomington Police Capt. Joe Qualters.
Witnesses say Alex Bucy, who wasn't even at the party, became their target. They say Bucy returned home from work, took a shower and was relaxing on the front porch, when the three teens approached.
Friends say Bucy asked them, "Can I help you?" and that's when things turned violent.
"When he was just sitting there, they all three just started attacking him, throwing punches. His head was just being tossed around like a punching bag. I mean both cheeks were just sliced open bleeding. His cheeks were swollen shut. His eyes - he could barely see," Cain said. "Then Speck actually tackled him off the top of the stairs (onto the sidewalk below) onto his back with him on top of him punching him."
Suggested Links
Hud Mellencamp is a competitive amateur boxing champion. But police say what happened in Bloomington was no match for the victim, with three high-profile Hoosiers accused in the crime.

Denver Broncos director of pro personnel Tom Heckert is facing charges of driving under the influence, stemming from a June arrest.
Heckert was pulled over and detained on June 11 in Parker, a suburb just over 20 miles from downtown Denver. He was charged with driving under the influence and careless driving, according to the Denver Post on Tuesday, which cited a report from the Douglass County Sheriff's department. That report stated Heckert may have been weaving before he was stopped by police.
"We were made aware of the matter involving Tom Heckert immediately after it occurred and promptly notified the league office. His arrest is extremely upsetting, and this situation is being handled internally as well as in coordination with NFL policies," said the team in a statement issued on Tuesday. "Tom's actions are obviously part of a disturbing pattern of irresponsible behavior that we are aggressively addressing within our organization.
"One member of the Broncos arrested for driving under the influence is one too many. This type of behavior puts innocent people at risk and cannot be tolerated. While our team and league supply plenty of resources to prevent these situations, it is clear we need to do better.
"We are thoroughly reviewing the procedures we have in place and will do whatever it takes to enhance their effectiveness going forward."
It's the second time in as many days the franchise has endured the revelation that a member of its front-office staff was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. On Monday, word came down that director of player personnel Matt Russell was arrested over the weekend in Breckenridge County, CO, after colliding with several vehicles, one of them a police SUV.
Heckert was hired on May 7. He most recently served as general manager for the Cleveland Browns from 2010-12 and was in the same position with the Philadelphia Eagles from 2006-09.
"I am extremely disappointed that in my short time with the Broncos I have made such a serious mistake. My actions last month have brought embarrassment to the organization, and I fully understand the consequences that are involved. I am truly sorry and take complete responsibility for this situation," Heckert said in his own statement.
"Although I have let many people down, I will learn from this and work toward regaining the trust that I have lost."

1. The function returns a pointer to a variable on the stack: timezoneName.
2. It tries to null terminate a string returned by readlink() but it doesn't take into account that readlink() may not leave space for the null character. This can cause an array overflow if the value of the symbolic link is sufficiently long (255 bytes). (Fortunately the stack is unlikely to get corrupted because the space allocated for the array is usually rounded up to obey memory alignment rules.)
3. strrchr() is used incorrectly: pointers to the end of null terminated strings are passed to it instead of pointers to the beginning of strings.
4. A pointer, that may be NULL, is incremented (the return value of strrchr()).
I've created a small patch (see below) to illustrate how these problems could be fixed. I don't know how the "Slackware approach" handles the /etc/localtime-copied-from symbolic link, the new code is safe but I might have guessed the intention of the original coder incorrectly.

The patch applies cleanly to xbmc-11.0 as well as to the latest git sources.

How Is Kidney Cancer Diagnosed?
Kidney cancer might be found because of signs or symptoms a person is having, or it might be found because of lab tests or imaging tests a person is getting for another reason. If cancer is suspected, tests will be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Medical history and physical exam
If you have any signs or symptoms that suggest you might have kidney cancer, your doctor will want to take a complete medical history to check for risk factors and to learn more about your symptoms.
A physical exam can provide information about signs of kidney cancer and other health problems. For example, the doctor may be able to feel an abnormal mass when he or she examines your abdomen.
If symptoms or the results of the physical exam suggest you might have kidney cancer, more tests will probably be done. These might include lab tests and imaging tests.
Lab tests
Lab tests cannot show for sure if a person has kidney cancer, but they can sometimes give the first hint that there may be a kidney problem. If cancer has already been diagnosed, they are also done to get a sense of a person's overall health and to help tell if the cancer might have spread to other areas. They also can help show if a person is healthy enough to have an operation.
Urinalysis (urine testing) is sometimes part of a complete physical exam, but it may not be done as a part of more routine physicals. This test may be done if your doctor suspects a kidney problem.
Microscopic and chemical tests are done on a urine sample to look for small amounts of blood and other substances not seen with the naked eye. About half of all patients with renal cell cancer will have blood in their urine. If the patient has transitional cell carcinoma (in the renal pelvis, the ureter, or the bladder), sometimes a special microscopic exam of the urine sample (called urine cytology) will show actual cancer cells in the urine.
Complete blood count
The complete blood count (CBC) is a test that measures the amounts of different cells in the blood, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This test result is often abnormal in people with renal cell cancer. Anemia (having too few red blood cells) is very common. Less often, a person may have too many red blood cells (called polycythemia) because the kidney cancer cells make a hormone (erythropoietin) that causes the bone marrow to make more red blood cells.
Blood counts are also important to make sure a person is healthy enough for surgery.
Blood chemistry tests
Blood chemistry tests are usually done in people who might have kidney cancer, because the cancer can affect the levels of certain chemicals in the blood. For example, high levels of liver enzymes are sometimes found. High blood calcium levels may indicate that cancer has spread to the bones, and may therefore prompt a doctor to order a bone scan. Blood chemistry tests also look at kidney function, which is especially important if certain imaging tests or if surgery is planned.
Imaging tests
Imaging tests use x-rays, magnetic fields, sound waves, or radioactive substances to create pictures of the inside of your body. Imaging tests can be done for a number of reasons:
- To help find out whether a suspicious area might be cancer
- To learn how far cancer has spread
- To help determine if treatment has been effective
- To look for signs of the cancer coming back
Unlike most other cancers, doctors can often diagnose kidney cancer fairly certainly based on imaging tests without doing a biopsy (removing a sample of the tumor to be looked at under a microscope). In some patients, however, a biopsy may be needed to be sure.
Computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and ultrasound can be very helpful in diagnosing most kinds of kidney tumors, although patients rarely need all of these tests. Other tests described here, such as chest x-rays and bone scans, are more often used to help determine if the cancer has spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body.
Computed tomography (CT) scan
The CT scan uses x-rays to produce detailed cross-sectional images of your body. It is one of the most useful tests for finding and looking at a tumor in your kidney. It can provide precise information about the size, shape, and position of a tumor. It is also useful in checking to see if a cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes or to organs and tissues outside the kidney. If a kidney biopsy is needed, this test can also be used to guide a biopsy needle into the mass to obtain a sample.
Instead of taking one picture, like a regular x-ray, a CT scanner takes many pictures as it rotates around you. A computer then combines these pictures into images of slices of the part of your body being studied.
A CT scanner has been described as a large donut, with a narrow table that slides in and out of the middle opening. You will need to lie still on the table while the scan is being done. CT scans take longer than regular x-rays, and you might feel a bit confined by the ring while the pictures are being taken.
Before the test, you might be asked to drink 1 to 2 pints of a liquid called oral contrast. This helps outline the intestine so that certain areas are not mistaken for tumors. You might also receive an IV (intravenous) line through which a different kind of contrast dye (IV contrast) is injected. This helps better outline structures in your body. The injection may cause some flushing (a feeling of warmth, especially in the face). Some people are allergic and get hives. Rarely, more serious reactions like trouble breathing or low blood pressure can occur. Be sure to tell the doctor if you have any allergies or if you have ever had a reaction to any contrast material used for x-rays.
CT contrast can damage the kidneys. This happens more often in patients whose kidneys are not working well in the first place. Because of this, your kidney function will be checked with a blood test before you get IV contrast.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
Like CT scans, MRI scans provide detailed images of soft tissues in the body. But MRI scans use radio waves and strong magnets instead of x-rays. The energy from the radio waves is absorbed and then released in a pattern formed by the type of body tissue and by certain diseases. A computer translates the pattern into a very detailed image of parts of the body.
A contrast material called gadolinium is often injected into a vein before the scan to better see details. This contrast material isn't used in people on dialysis, because in those people it can rarely cause a severe side effect called nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
MRI scans take longer than CT scans − often up to an hour – and are a little more uncomfortable. You have to lie inside a narrow tube, which is confining and can upset people with claustrophobia (a fear of enclosed spaces). Special, open MRI machines can sometimes help with this if needed, but the drawback is that the pictures may not be as clear. MRI machines also make buzzing and clicking noises that many people find disturbing. Some centers provide headphones with music to block this noise out.
MRI scans are used less often than CT scans in people with kidney cancer. They may be done in cases where CT scans aren't practical, such as if a person can't have the CT contrast dye because they have an allergy to it or they don't have good kidney function. MRI scans may also be done if there's a chance that the cancer has grown into major blood vessels in the abdomen (like the inferior vena cava), because they provide a better picture of blood vessels than CT scans. Finally, they may be used to look for possible spread of cancer to the brain or spinal cord if a person has symptoms that suggest this might be the case.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of internal organs. For this test, a small, microphone-like instrument called a transducer is placed on the skin near the kidney after a gel is applied. The transducer gives off sound waves and picks up the echoes as they bounce off the tissues in the kidney. The echoes are converted by a computer into a black and white image that is displayed on a computer screen. This test is painless and does not expose you to radiation.
Ultrasound can help find a kidney mass and show if it is solid or filled with fluid (kidney tumors are more likely to be solid). Different echo patterns also can help doctors tell some types of benign and malignant kidney tumors from one another.
If a kidney biopsy is needed, this test can also be used to guide a biopsy needle into the mass to obtain a sample.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
In a PET scan, a form of radioactive sugar (known as fluorodeoxyglucose or FDG) is injected into the blood. The amount of radioactivity used is very low and will pass out of the body over the next day or so. Because cancer cells in the body are growing quickly, they absorb more of the radioactive sugar. After about an hour, you will be moved onto a table in the PET scanner. You lie on the table for about 30 minutes while a special camera creates a picture of areas of radioactivity in the body. The picture is not finely detailed like a CT or MRI scan, but it provides helpful information about your body.
This test can help spot small collections of cancer cells and can be useful in seeing if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes near the kidney. PET scans can also be useful if your doctor thinks the cancer may have spread but doesn't know where. PET scans can be used instead of doing multiple x-rays because they scan your whole body.
Special machines can perform both a PET and CT scan at the same time (PET/CT scan). This lets the doctor compare areas of higher radioactivity (suggesting an area of cancer) on the PET with the more detailed image from the CT. Still, PET and PET/CT scans are not a standard part of the work-up for kidney cancers.
Intravenous pyelogram
An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is an x-ray of the urinary system taken after a special dye is injected into a vein. The kidneys remove the dye from the bloodstream and it then concentrates in the ureters and bladder. An IVP can help find abnormalities of the renal pelvis and ureter, such as cancer, but this test is not often used when kidney cancer is suspected.
This type of x-ray also uses a contrast dye, although not the same as the one used for an IVP. A catheter is usually threaded up a large artery in your leg into the artery leading to your kidney (renal artery). The dye is then injected into the artery, and x-rays are taken to identify and map the blood vessels that supply a kidney tumor.
This test can help in planning surgery for some patients. Angiography can also help diagnose renal cancers since the blood vessels usually have a special appearance with this test.
Angiography can often be done as a part of a CT or MRI scan, instead of as a separate x-ray test. This means less contrast dye is used, which is helpful since the dye can damage kidney function further if it is given to people whose kidneys aren't working well.
Chest x-ray
If kidney cancer has been diagnosed (or is suspected), your chest may be x-rayed to see if cancer has metastasized (spread) to your lungs. The lungs are a common site of kidney cancer metastasis, but this is not very likely unless the cancer is far advanced.
This x-ray can be done in any outpatient setting. If the results are normal, you probably don't have cancer in your lungs. Still, if your doctor has reason to suspect lung metastasis (based on symptoms like shortness of breath or a cough), you may have a chest CT scan instead of a regular chest x-ray, because it can show more detail.
Bone scan
A bone scan can help show if a cancer has spread to your bones. It might be done if there is reason to think the cancer might have spread to the bones (because of symptoms such as bone pain or blood test results showing an increased calcium level). PET scans can usually show the spread of cancer to bones as well, so if you've had a PET scan you might not need a bone scan.
For this test, a small amount of low-level radioactive material is injected into a vein (intravenously, or IV). The substance settles in areas of damaged bone throughout the entire skeleton in a couple of hours. You then lie on a table for about 30 minutes while a special camera detects the radioactivity and creates a picture of your skeleton.
Areas of active bone changes attract the radioactivity and show up as "hot spots" on your skeleton. These areas might suggest cancer spread, but arthritis or other bone diseases can also cause the same pattern. To distinguish between these conditions, your cancer care team may use other imaging tests such as simple x-rays or MRI scans to get a better look at the areas that light up, or they may even take biopsy samples of the bone.
Fine needle aspiration and needle core biopsy
Unlike with most other types of cancer, biopsies are not often used to diagnose kidney tumors. Imaging tests usually provide enough information for a surgeon to decide if an operation is needed. The diagnosis is then confirmed when part of the kidney that was removed is looked at under a microscope.
However, a biopsy is sometimes used to get a small sample of cells from an area that may be cancer when the results of imaging tests are not clear enough to warrant surgery. Biopsy may also be done to confirm a cancer diagnosis if a person might not be treated with surgery, such as with small tumors that will be watched and not treated, or when other treatments are being considered.
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) and needle core biopsy are 2 types of kidney biopsies that may be done. For these types of biopsies a needle is put through the skin to take a sample of cells (called a percutaneous biopsy).
For either type of biopsy, the skin where the needle is to be inserted is first numbed with local anesthesia. The doctor directs the biopsy needle into the area while looking at your kidney with either ultrasound or CT scans. Unlike ultrasound, CT doesn't provide a continuous picture, so the needle is inserted in the direction of the mass, a CT image is taken, and the direction of the needle is guided based on the image. This is repeated a few times until the needle is within the mass.
For FNA, a small sample of the target area is sucked (aspirated) through the needle into a syringe. The needle used for FNA biopsy is thinner than the ones used for routine blood tests. The needle used in core biopsies is larger than that used in FNA biopsy. It removes a small cylinder of tissue. Either type of sample is checked under the microscope to see if cancer cells are present.
In cases where the doctors think kidney cancer might have spread to other sites, they may take a sample of the metastatic site instead of the kidney.
Fuhrman grade
The Fuhrman grade is found by looking at kidney cancer cells (taken during a biopsy or during surgery) under a microscope. Many doctors use it to describe how quickly the cancer is likely to grow and spread. The grade is based on how closely the cancer cells' nuclei (the part of the cell in which DNA is stored) look like those of normal kidney cells.
Renal cell cancers are usually graded on a scale of 1 through 4. Grade 1 renal cell cancers have cell nuclei that look a lot like normal kidney cell nuclei. These cancers usually grow and spread slowly and tend to have a good prognosis (outcome). At the other extreme, grade 4 renal cell cancer nuclei look quite different from normal kidney cell nuclei. These cancers have a worse prognosis.
Although the cell type and grade can sometimes help predict prognosis (outlook), the cancer's stage is by far the best predictor of survival. The stage describes the cancer's size and how far it has spread beyond the kidney. Staging is explained in " How is kidney cancer staged?"

This spring the U.S. has experienced some catastrophic natural disasters, including F5 tornadoes and outsized forest fires. Local and national news have offered glimpses into these disasters, how families and communities have been affected — from trauma to pulling together. We've also heard on the ground reports from friends in Oklahoma who told us that even after one month, you cannot believe the devastation. Back in June we started planning a fundraiser for the Oakies and the Rockies (people affected by the Black Forest Fire in Colorado); then the Yarnell Fire that killed 19 Firedfighters occurred. So now, Draughts for Disasters will benefit folks in Oklahoma, Colorado and the families of the deceased Arizona firefighters whose lives have been epically altered.
This being Milwaukee, we are not doing the fundraiser alone. We have many local partners for this event, partners who didn't hesitate when we asked including: Great Lakes Distillery, Bartolotta's, Ferrante's, Larry's Brown Deer Market, SPiN, Beans and Barley, Rocket Baby Bakery, Il Mito, Sugar Maple, Donald Driver, Renaissance Theaterworks, Iron Horse Hotel, Cousins Subs, Sobelman's, the Milwaukee Wave, the River Club of Mequon and several more who have donated food and auction or raffle items. But the event will not be just beverages, food and cool auction items. Yes – there's more, there's entertainment! Two WAMI award winners will perform, Ethan Keller and Katie Lafond.
We've got all the ingredients to make this one of the most memorable fundraisers ever, and we hope you'll join us.
Thursday, July 11th 6-9ish pm
Sprecher Brewery, 701 W. Glendale Ave, Glendale, WI.
$20 – admission, two beers, live music, food, unlimited soda, raffles and silent auction.
Special Great Lakes Distillery-Sprecher cocktails will be available for purchase, as will wine, rail drinks, water and additional beer.
All money raised will be divided equally between the following non-profits: Operation USA (Oklahoma), Pikes Peak Community Foundation: Black Forest Fire Fund (Colorado), and the 100 Club of Arizona.
*Special thanks to Donald Driver who donated autographed copies of his Quickie children's books, and James Jones who donated an autographed jersey. #GoPack!

Artist Joceline Lee has spent her last few Wednesdays in the basement of the Royal Exhibition Building among the palaeontologists, geologists, rocks and fossils. She is working on drawings for her first solo exhibition, Rendered Bones.
Joceline draws skeletons and anatomical forms in pen and ink which makes palaeontological specimens the ideal material for her. When I visited her at work, she was drawing an echidna skeleton that she'd selected from the collection. She was accompanied by her mentor Rob Delves, a sculptor who has worked with Joceline for seven years at Art Day South. This project is run by Arts Access Victoria in Melbourne's south-east to give artists with disabilities opportunities to develop their artwork through workshops, mentorships, collaborations and exhibitions.

Rob said that when she first came to Art Day South, her drawings were intricate and very tiny. "Her linework was amazing in these little drawings and they just said 'skeletons'." He started bringing her photographs and models of animal skeletons about three years ago, and Joceline was hooked. "Then we brought in bigger things and it's grown from there." In July this year, MV's Discovery Program visited Art Day South bringing a tortoise shell, a huge model dinosaur leg, fossils and more for the artists to explore.
Joceline works slowly but steadily for hours at a time, with each drawing taking two to three weeks to complete. Rob loves her unique style of drawing. "She goes off in beautiful directions, with all this contrast... dark and fine lines."
Rendered Bones is part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival program from 4 to 9 October in the No Vacancy Project Space in the Federation Square Atrium. Be sure to visit the exhibition if you'd like to see Joceline's distinctive interpretation of fossils, bones and skeletons.

Topic: Faith
Do you have faith in God? Do you feel that your cancer has strengthened your faith or has it made you lose your faith? Has your family gotten stronger in their faith or weaker? Do you feel like God has provided for you and met your needs, or do you feel abandoned by God?
I'd really like to know what other cancer survivors and care givers think. As for me, I am a devout Roman Catholic. My faith has grown stronger since my diagnosis, and I feel closer and closer to God every day. He has miraculously provided for my needs. I have many people praying for me and so far I have been relatively healthy and been able to keep working. I need to keep working because I am a single parent and need the money and insurance to provide for my family.
I have been blogging fight with cancer at caringbridge.org/visit/lisarockstad. A lot of people have said to me that they enjoy my writings and that I inspire them. My only hope is that somehow the Lord will use me to reach others and let them know of His mercy.
Please share your faith journey with us if you feel like it. Thanks!

From Our House to the White House
This half-hour documentary tells the story of Sam Queen and the Soco Gap Dancers from the Maggie Valley area of North Carolina. They are widely credited with popularizing an exciting form of clogging into square dance, and they were regularly featured at Bascom Lamar Lunsford's Mountain Dance and Folk Festival in Asheville, NC.
Sam Queen, "the dancingest man in the land," was the group's leader; he had learned to call from Bob Love, an African-American dance caller.
Team dances were first performed at that event in 1927, but starting in the 1930s the Soco Gap Dancers took first prize with their energetic style that combined southern Appalachian big set figures with clog steps instead of the smooth, low-to-the-ground footwork that characterized most square dancing at that time and place. The Soco Gap Dancers went on to widespread acclaim, performing around the country and winning additional competitions.
Ruth Pershing writes, "Team clogging is a relatively new composite dance form that began in the 1920s in western North Carolina. It was initiated when The Smokey Mountain Dancers first performed at the Bascom Lamar Lunsford Festival in 1927 in Asheville. By 1938, team clogging had its own competition at the Lunsford Festival, and it was won by the well known Soco Gap Dancers from the Maggie Valley area. They performed freestyle buck dance steps continuously while doing mountain style square dance figures called by one of the dancers."
In 1939, the dancers were invited by Eleanor Roosevelt to perform at the White House for the visiting King and Queen of England. The queen is supposed to have remarked that the dancers' footwork was very much like clogging in her country, and the name stuck.
This documentary tells their story, with lots of archival photographs supplementing interviews with members of the team, now in their later years. Starting at 21:15, there is also archival footage of the dancers taken in the 1930s.

Parenting questions from our new member fraulein06
Here are some questions that were posted by our new member fraulein06. Let's share our experiences and knowledge here and help to support this new mum.
1) My baby has asthma, does her formula milk affects her condition?
2) My baby vomits every time we feed her semi-solid foods. What could be the best way to prevent it?
3) My baby has a sleeping problem during night time. She sleeps every 2am-3am. What is the best way to do to be able to change her sleeping habits?
7th November 2013 07:37 AM #2
Dear fraulein06,
1) There are some studies which have indicated breastfeeding helps to reduce the risk of asthma and other studies seem not to have shown this. The evidence about infants with asthma is unclear. You should speak to your health visitor or child's paediatrician about the particular type of formula they are using. I believe that cow's milk based formula is recommended in most cases (although breastmilk is still preferential) but for some children soy formula is recommended.
2) Please see my latest reply in your other post here Also note that some babies are sick or gag with mushy food because of the 'gag reflex' and many babies get on better with feeding themselves. If she is vomitting properly it could be a food allergy. I would keep a diary of when your daughter seems to vomit and again see your health professional.
3) Do you mean that she is awake in the night from 2-3am? Or is she up for the day at this time? Does she have a routine? A good bedtime routine can work wonders. Start at around 6pm bathing her and winding down from the day, singing songs or reading a special book together. It can work well to have a very similar routine every day. How often does your daughter nap in the day? What happens when she wakes at night?
Best wishes,

A few weeks ago I received a phone call from a student of a few years ago, Adrienne Erickson. She told me she had some good news for me.
One part of her busy life is she is the house manager for a group of outdoorsmen during the duck season. This group of outdoorsmen form a club known as the Senachwine Club. This group of 30 members belong to a club whose membership goes back 126 years. Most of the members are from the northern half of the state.
Before the duck season was over, the club had a dinner, (Saki night) in which the membership dined and commiserated about the season and generally had a good time. One of the customs of this club is to pass the hat for donations to give to a worthy organization. A member chose the organization he wanted, and the money was given to that organization. This year it was announced Adrienne would be the person to choose who would receive the donation.
So that was what the phone call was about. Adrienne told me that she chose the PHS Sportsman's Club because of the goals of the club and the activities for youth. She related to me one of the greatest weeks in her life was when her dad took her fishing along with her daughter. I was shocked and thrilled. This will help several students defray some of the cost of the Canada trip. We are a little short this year.
A quick history on Adrienne. She is the daughter of Lee and Carol Brown and sister of Brett Brown. Now this was and still is an outdoor family. Lee was a longtime member of the Princeton Game and Fish Club.
He was happy when his son Brett joined him with a membership. Brett was also a member of the PHS Sportsman's Club. Brett is also the Northern Director for Illinois Ducks Unlimited.
On behalf of the PHS Sportsman's Club, sincerely thanks to you, Adrienne, and also for the generosity and thoughtfulness of the Senachwine Club.
• In my last article, I gave you the details for the Pheasants Forever banquet, with the doors opening at 5 p.m. March 6 at the Met. What I didn't know the last time was the club will auction off two pheasant hunts - one locally and one in South Dakota. Secondly, there will be a youth shotgun given away, and thirdly, there will be a youth pheasant hunt later on this spring for the young ones to sign up for.
I have the names of three more committee members from which you can reserve your spot. Kurt Freeberg at 815-875-4089, Gene Englehart at 815-875-1840 and Robin Rediger at 309-238-7711. Tickets will be held at the door.
• The Whitetails Unlimited banquet is coming up March 21 at Wise Guys in Princeton. Doors open at 5 p.m. with the chicken and fish buffet at 7 p.m. There will be a silent and live auction, raffles with firearms, bows and other hunting equipment. There will be a youth drawing and games as well as the presentation of the $500 Gordon Shipp Memorial Scholarship.
Fifty percent of all proceeds will go back to the local area for conservation related projects. For ticket information, contact Bob Stevens at 815-646-4146. Ticket deadline is March 14.
Lee Wahlgren is the BCR Outdoor Columnist. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

ignore the first two paragraphs, come on man wtf.
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/sport/g...ight-opponent/Motivation has been the key factor. One of the main reasons for the drop to flyweight is that I need the motivation. Im ranked No 5 at bantamweight, which leaves me nowhere to go. I can stay in my weight class, fight people, get paid, get Fight of the Night bonuses but I want to achieve in the sport, Pickett told Telegraph Sport.
At least if I try it, and if I dont succeed, I could always come back up [to bantamweight], Pickett reasons.

Hi, newbie here (so don't bite me if I say something stupid :D, I have just started to learn.)
Ok, So I am right now dual booting slackware and windows 7, with slack installed later and being in MBR. So that Lilo boots up at boot time and asks me if I want to boot into windows or slack.
So far so good. :)
But I want to install BT to hdd, I ran it live and I thought I should install it to hdd, so my question is, if I installed BT now, will grub show all menu and let me boot into 'em. Or I should install BT First and then Slack so that lilo takes over the GRUB of BT if it is so will it show all my OS?
Please anyone help :( ...
I have googled but found nothing, this is only place I can get answer.
Any Help Is Appreciated...

Athletic Communications and Princeton Athletic Communications
PRINCETON, N.J. -- The second half of the Ivy League football season means only conference contests the rest of the way as the race for the title heats up with four matchups on the Week 6 slate.
Two Ivy unbeatens square off this Saturday as Princeton plays host to Harvard at 1 p.m. on ESPN3. This game sets up as the classic battle between offense vs. defense as Harvard comes in third among all NCAA Football Championship Subdivision teams in scoring offense at 41.0 points per game, while Princeton's stingy defense is only allowing 11.6 points per contest, good for second in the nation.
Penn looks to keep its League record unblemished in a key road game at Yale set for a Noon start on the NBC Sports Network. The Quakers come in with momentum in their favor after rallying for a win over Columbia a week ago. Yale seeks to break its four-game slide and get back into the win column for the first time since its season opener.
Cornell has hopes high to stay in the Ivy title hunt at Brown, as does Dartmouth in its road matchup at Columbia, to round out the weekend schedule.
"Inside Ivy League Football," hosted by Dan
Loney and Brian Seltzer, returns for its
sixth episode on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m., featuring interviews
with Penn head coach Al Bagnoli, Cornell senior
wide receiver Luke Tasker, Havard senior tight end
Kyle Juszczyk and Princeton offensive coordinator
and quarterbacks coach James Perry.
"Inside Ivy League Football" is a weekly online radio show that takes an in-depth look at all the on-field gridiron action and all the news and notes surrounding football in the Ancient Eight. The 10-episode show airs Wednesdays at 7 p.m. on BlogTalkRadio.com (blogtalkradio.com/insideivyleaguefootball) and is available on-demand via BlogTalkRadio and IvyLeagueSports.com.
Cornell senior quarterback Chris Amrhein (Hingham, Mass.) proved to be a capable back-up to Walter Payton Award candidate Jeff Mathews, completing 33-of-56 passes for 523 yards for the second-best mark in school history and the third-highest total in Ivy League history with one touchdown in the Big Red's 41-38 win over Monmouth. Making his first career start, Amrhein directed an offense that did not commit a turnover despite missing the team's three-year starting center. He directed three fourth-quarter scoring drives and completed a pass on third-and-6 with 40 seconds left to allow Cornell to run the clock out and preserve the win. Prior to the game, Amrhein was 2-of-5 for nine yards with an interception.
Corner senior wide receiver Luke Tasker (East Aurora, N.Y.) caught 11 passes for a school-record 280 yards and a touchdown in the Big Red's shootout win against Monmouth. Tasker's 280 receiving yards was good for the third-highest total in Ivy League history. He hauled in a pair of 30+-yard passes inside the Monmouth five-yard line that turned into short touchdown runs during the fourth-quarter comeback. Tasker ended the day with 289 all-purpose yards, the third-best total in Cornell history.
Princeton defensive lineman Caraun Reid (Bronx, N.Y.) led the nation's second-ranked scoring defense to the first shutout of Brown in an Ivy League-record 162 games. Reid recorded six total tackles, four of which were for a loss, and 2.5 sacks. He outscored Brown on his own with a safety in the second quarter in the 19-0 win for the Tigers.
Penn senior punter Scott Lopano (Southlake, Texas) matched a career high with nine punts and still had an impressive average of 45.4 yards per punt in the Quakers' 24-20 win over Columbia. Five of Lopano's punts were in the first half, when he continued to change field position and helped hold the Lions to just six points. In the second half, three of his four punts were downed inside the 20-yard line. Most importantly, with 4:09 left, his final punt traveled 60 yards and was downed at the Columbia six-yard line. From there, the Penn defense quickly forced Columbia to punt, which set up the Quakers' game-winning drive. Lopano finished the day with a career-high 409 punt yards, the second-most punting yards in school history.
Princeton freshman defensive back/return specialist Anthony Gaffney (Columbus, N.J.) took over the Ivy League lead in interceptions with his third in the Tigers'shutout of Brown. All three of Gaffney's picks have come in conference play. He added five tackles, all solo ones, as well as his first sack of the season and a pass breakup.

Heracross vs. Alakazam. Both pokemon maxed out. I was having this discussion with someone on another forum. He insists Alakazam, I say Heracross. I know Heracross is part fighting type and is there fore weak against psychic attacks, but I say he is resilient enought to take some damage and OHKO the Alakazam with Megahorn on his turn. I would love to her what you guys think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Donzaloog (talk • contribs)
- If the Alakazam knew Reflect or Disable and Recover, it might win. Crimsnnavy C S 23:12, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. You make a good point. But, Heracross has Brick Break to deal with Reflect. And a choice scarf on Heracross can up its' speed. I think Heracross takes this one when used right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Donzaloog (talk • contribs)
- -- I would say that the other person on the forum is correct, Alakazam would win handily with no added items. If you're using powerups like choice scarf, of course Heracross has the upper hand. That is kind of not fair, though. You seem to be trying to find an excuse to MAKE Heracross win. Case in point, my level 100 Typhlosion with maxed stats and hacked moves knocked out my friend's level 100 Gyarados in one hit... but that's because I've pumped him up to the point that he is practically unbeatable. My point is, any Pokemon with items and powerups can beat a Pokemon that, were the odds even, it would not stand a chance against.-- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs)
- I think it depends on the moveset and stats of the Pokemon. I have therefore simulated a scenario:
- Scenario 1: All of Alakazam's IVs are 28 while Heracross has 30 Attack, 29 Speed and HP, but 26 for the others, with Alakazam's EVs being between 55 (HP) and 86 (Sp.Def) and Heracross' being between 56 (Speed) and 79(Attack). Alakazam's moves are Psychic, Future Sight, Psycho Cut and Toxic and its nature is Adamant (Ability Inner Focus), while Heracross knowns Megahorn, Focus Blast, Aerial Ace and Take Down, its nature is Hardy and its ability its Guts. First the stats (EVs are in Brackets)
Alakazam Heracross HP 261 (55) 315 (65) Attack 163 (67) 304 (79) Defense 140 (69) 199 (74) Sp.Atk 290 (80) 129 (72) Sp.Def 224 (86) 238 (70) Speed 289 (66) 218 (56)
- Using this, Alakazam would go first and it goes for Psychic. This would hit for average 258 damage, not enough to knock out Heracross, leaving it with 57 HP left. Heracross goes for Megahorn and hits for over 600 HP damage, knocking it out. Therefore on this simulation, Heracross is the winner126.96.36.199 07:51, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

INTERVIEW: Steve Aoki at Tomorrowland
Listen to Steve Aoki on iHeartRadio
Steve Aoki calls Tomorrowland an "electronic utopia," and anyone who's been to experienced the festival would agree. This year, Steve performed two sets, one of which on his label's very own Dim Mak stage, the other on the incredible main stage.
If you've ever seen Steve Aoki live before, it's a very memorable experience. Aside from the music his fans know and love, Steve knows how to entertain a crowd, with cake, champagne, and more.
We got to sit down with the cake-throwing champion before his main stage set, where he talked about the Dim Mak stage, his new album, everything you need to know about throwing a cake properly, and more. Check it out below:
What do you think of Tomorrowland?
Tomorrowland is my favorite festival in all the world. It's like, I guess I'm repeating myself when I say this cause I say this in all interviews, but it's by far the most diverse, multicultural, global, globally influential festival that I know about. More globally influential than multi-genre festivals out there that have the biggest bands in the world playing. It's just the spectrum that it shoots out to. In fact, I was on the Tomorrowland radio and they were like," Yeah yeah, this goes out to 50 million people." 50 million people?! Like this isn't commercial music, there's no Rihanna, there's no Lady Gaga, there's no Bieber, there's no like big pop artists here. It's like banging, techno, deep house, hardstyle, electro, I mean, that's what's so cool. We're doing our own thing, this is our like electronic utopia, and people care, like not just this festival, but millions of millions of people listening and watching.
What's been the highlight, you're on the main stage today, and you also performed the first day, so what's been the highlight for you so far?
I love running around, seeing people I haven't seen. That's the cool thing about festivals, you get to see your DJ friends you haven't seen in forever, and sometimes you only see them at festivals like this. The Dim Mak stage set was crazy. It was like a sixteen person b2b DJ set, so like everyone that was there with me played their hottest, latest new track or unreleased new Dim Mak track. So for the Dim Mak heads, all the kids there, people there that wanna hear what our sound is, it was like a gold mine of music because it was unreleased new s***. So to me my mouth was just watering, it was super super cool, involving everyone involved, it was cool. And this set tonight will be a proper Aoki set. I'm deputing like 9 new songs. From my album like eight or nine new songs, two new remixes I'm pulling out, so over half my set will be new material. And then I think I am gonna play a couple Dim Mak tracks but for the most part it's gonna be a proper like Steve Aoki experience. Music and show.
How does it feel for you to have a Dim Mak stage at Tomorrowland?
Yeah, it was pretty awesome. This is our third year that we've had a Dim Mak stage here, so like it's become family to us. I'm by far proud and honored and I can't believe we have a stage here. It's that and the people we work with here are really good people. I'm just glad that they get what we're doing and work with us. And they're so easy to work with, you know, they've like given us more than what we could use to create something special, [and] make a Dim Mak experience for people that come here.
They're bringing it over to the US with Tomorroworld, what do you think that's gonna be like?
I think that the frenzy to get tickets here, it was literally like winning a lottery ticket cause it was so hard to get in. It was like, I don't know millions of people trying to get into a festival that only holds like 100,000 people. So when I heard the U.S. sold out really quickly, I knew it was going to happen, it's just not like an ordinary festival. This is something, this raises the bar of what production [of] festivals should look like. What the experience overall should be. This is like, the ultimate festival experience.
Is there anything exciting coming from Dim Mak?
Yeah we just released "Michael Jordan" Carnage's new record. And we have new Dirtyphonics records like my remix for Dirtyphonics is coming out soon. We have new stuff from from Clockwork, there's a whole gamut of artists. We have a massive catalogue. Funk Agenda, Qulinez, Felix Cartal, like all our young guys and then we have some bigger names coming in and doing singles with us too. But all of it is catalogued and all of the information is up on dimmak.com
Are you excited about your album?
I wish I could release it right now. I mean it's not gonna come out for another year, but I am pre-debuting these songs mad early. I'm gonna be putting out singles literally throughout the whole year. "Boneless" is coming out in September finally.
And then I think "Jump" is gonna be more of the neutral version of Aoki jump which will be on the album, it's a song I did with R3hab. And then "Piledriver" the record I did with Knife Party, I don't know when that's gonna see the light of day, but it'll happen. And then I did two songs with Flux Pavilion, one for his EP and one for my album that we produced together, so that'll be coming out sometime. And then the Machine Gun Kelly record I did with him, I don't know when that's coming out, at some point. Then I did a record with Will, Will.I.Am, that's like a fun fun party record.
How was working with him?
I've been working with Will since I first started working with singers, so I've been lucky. Like my first big song was "I'm in the House," in 2008, so that was a fun record. I've known Will for a while, so like it's really easy to work with Will. He's probably the easiest artist to work with because he just gets it immediately. If he likes your song, he'll write a top line and he'll turn your song into a golden record, a platinum record, you know? Like if it's sounding right. So this song that we did together, it's probably my most fun on the whole album. My album is pretty dark, it's very emotional, but this record is pretty fun and very happy. I wrote the whole record in like pentatonic scale, so you can't go dark that way. You know, it's very fun, very like let's f***ing party, let's rage you know?
You are the master of cake throwing, so what's your favorite flavor of cake?
Favorite flavor of cake. Well my favorite sugar flavor is strawberry, I'll get strawberry ice cream, strawberry cakes, strawberry everything, but like my favorite cake as far as not tasting, but throwing, are cakes that are at least 4 inch in width and about 16-20 inches in diameter. Circular cakes are better for long tosses, they actually float better through the air. The sheet cakes are tough to throw. Sheet cakes are good if you're doing like close impact, but if you're gonna throw a cake and you need to aim properly, it's all about the circular cakes. And you don't want them to be too heavy. I threw out my arm already, my left shoulder is f***ed. I've been seeing like a physiotherapist, whenever I can to fix my ligaments in my shoulder. Sometimes they're really really heavy. And sometimes they're really really bad. Bad cakes. Cause like the most important thing is, not only how well they can soar, but how they're gonna feel when they hit you in the face. Cause you want them to be soft, and you want them to be explosive, and you want it to be a blast of fun. You don't want it to be like, "Ow, that f***ing hurt," like a baseball hitting you in the face. Sometimes I'll lob it so far and there'll be like a girl like taking it in the face, so I've gotta make sure that s**t don't hurt. It might hurt a little bit. Cause I've been caked and I'm like aw well that kinda hurts, but when you realize you've been caked and you're in the middle of it, the music and people, it's dope you know. People want it. People want the cake.
If you had your own land, what would you call it?
Well if it's the top of my head, I would just call it DimMakland.

Rebecca Executive Director/Vice President, Hospitality Operations Services Division, London
I was very impressed by the level and depth of training the firm invested in its new hires and how friendly and approachable everyone was.
My Work
I work as a buyer within Procurement and Contract Management, in the Corporate Services and Real Estate department of the Services Division. My primary responsibility is to contract with vendors in order to procure goods and services on behalf of the firm. At a high level, my role includes researching the market place for vendors, undertaking competitive bids, negotiating with vendors and executing contracts.
As each project I work on is different from the last, my knowledge is continually expanding. In addition, a number of projects have provided me with opportunities to travel to Goldman Sachs offices in Bengaluru, Dubai, Hong Kong, New York, Paris and Tokyo. My experience here has shown that if you are good at what you do, you will be presented with numerous opportunities to expand your skill set and advance in your career.
My role is a mixture of both individual and team-based work. Typically, each project will involve a team of people from various divisions across the firm. However these projects also contain elements that must be completed individually.
My Day
I work on multiple projects at the same time, whether these are key sourcing activities or strategic initiatives. I am currently leading a project from a procurement and contract management perspective to set up a new team in Bengaluru. In relation to this project I have recently completed a two-month assignment in India – a learning experience both professionally and personally. I am also the lead buyer for a multimillion dollar project to source a vendor to supply a number of Wellness services to the firm.
The challenges in my role are numerous and change depending on the specific project. They typically include successfully managing multiple projects, balancing competing priorities and negotiating complex contracts.
One element of my job that I find particularly rewarding is the opportunity to see the tangible results of my work and the subsequent benefits to the firm. For example, I was very heavily involved in procurement for the firm's new Dubai and Russian offices. It is rewarding to see these offices up and running.
My Path
I applied for a role at Goldman Sachs following a campus recruitment initiative during my penultimate year at university. I interviewed with a number of firms and was offered several other positions, however ultimately I decided that Goldman Sachs was the right place for me to begin my career.
My first day at the firm took place in New York, where I joined the graduate training programme with literally hundreds of other new starters! I was very impressed by the level and depth of training the firm invested in its new hires and how friendly and approachable everyone was.
Honestly, I'd have to say that five years ago, I wouldn't have thought I'd be working here. One of the reasons that I took the job with Goldman Sachs was that, at the time of leaving university, I was not 100% sure of what I wanted to specialise in.
The position at the firm provided me with the opportunity to rotate within a number of different teams, to understand their work and build a network of contacts prior to moving into an area of specialisation full time. I have now been at the firm for over four years and have not looked back since.

According to Table 3.1 of "Recommended Concrete Temperatures" in ACI 306, "Cold Weather Concreting," concrete should be about 5º F warmer for sections with a minimum dimension of less than 12 inches than for sections with a minimum dimensions of 12-36 inches. Five degrees is a lot to make up on large pours. Some innovative producers are looking to forced-air aggregate heating.
Engineering data suggest that some fresh concrete ingredients have a greater influence on concrete temperatures than others. Heating the aggregates seems to be the producer's best choice next to heating the water.
Producers should try to raise the average maximum temperature of aggregate to about 60º F and sand to 105º F. Just as with mixing water, maximum temperature levels exist for aggregates as well. ACI 306 recommends that aggregate temperature not exceed 212º F at any one spot and that it does not exceed 150º F on average.
Heating aggregates is nothing new. Traditionally, producers have employed boiler steam for this purpose. But with steam comes several operating problems.
First, aggregate doesn't retain its elevated temperature for a long time. Steam mist tends to be very localized, creating pockets of aggregate with varying temperatures. And steam injection systems are high-maintenance items. Nozzles require almost daily monitoring, condensation water must be gathered before the material reaches the aggregate batcher, and the presence of water in steel bins tends to cause corrosion.
Unlike the use of steam, forced warm air allows producers to set the heating level to defrost and warm the aggregate just enough to eliminate ice and lumps. And on those days when higher temperatures are needed, the warm air raises the temperature of the entire bin to a higher level.
There are other benefits from using forced air. Aggregate temperature is more consistent. Because the system is warming the contents of the entire bin, the aggregates closest to the steam's discharge point won't have a disproportionately high temperature. In addition, because no water is introduced to the aggregate, it's drier, and dry material is easier to batch.
The drier aggregate also can help economize mix designs. By using a drier, warmed material, producers can better control water-cement ratio and set time with use of nonchloride accelerators.
The article also includes information that explains the effect of raising the temperature of various components on the concrete mix temperature.

Fertility Window
Do women have different length of fertility window? What is the average duration of the fertile window? Is it possible to have a longer fertility period than others?
29th September 2012 04:31 AM #2
Hi Venus,
There was an interesting study by Fehring and Schneider in 2008 which looked at the Variability in the hormonally estimated fertile phase of the menstrual cycle. This showed that the fertile window length can vary. On average it is 3 days long but it can be from 1-7 days long.
I hope this helps to answer your question.
Best wishes,

Hi Venus,
I've found that many women experience differing fertile window lengths according to their age.
When I was in my 20's, my fertile window was 5 days, like clockwork. As I entered my late 30's and early 40's, my fertile window became much shorter, sometimes even just one day.
I have a friend who conceived when she was 40, and she only had a fertile window of 2 days.
This is why it's so very important to know your body well and be able to read your personal signs of fertility so that you'll be able to achieve or avoid pregnancy naturally.
Warm Regards,

Thanks a lot, LJ and Kate! You two sure are the experts here! I am so glad that you always have answers to questions which new mums like me have. I will be glad to read more about signs of fertility during my free time. ^^

So glad it was helpful Venus
Please do let us know if you have any other questions about fertility.
Best wishes,

Turquoise Jewelry
Well represented in the Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems and Minerals in our National Museum of Natural History, turquoise is one of the oldest gem materials. In many ancient cultures it was believed to represent purity and was used as a protective amulet. Howlite, named for geologist Henry How, is a mineral that resembles turquoise's chemical structure. Our turquoise and howlite jewelry reflect specimens in the collection.
