What is your preferred breastfeeding position?
Do you have a particular breastfeeding position that you and your child prefer or find easiest? Do you use different breastfeeding positions or stick to just one?
My baby's favourite breastfeeding position is with both of us lying down. I have to admit, that I have never once sat up to feed him in the night! Right from day one, I co-slept (safely) with him and all our night feeds were with the minimum disruption to sleep. He is now 15 months and we still breastfeed like this at night.
With my first son, I did not manage to breastfeed in this position initially - it took some practice to get the position right. However, when my second son was born I was still breastfeeding my older son and so I found it very easy to begin or breastfeeding relationship (I was also a lot more knowledgeable and confident the second time around).
I look forward to reading your replies.
Best wishes,

Jonathan Green to give Smalls lecture March 18
Internationally-known painter and printmaker Jonathan Green will present the 13th annual Robert Smalls Lecture at the University at 7 p.m. March 18 in Gambrell Hall, Room 153.
Jonathan Green
Titled "African American Art: Reflecting a Culture of a Place and Time," the talk will focus on the important role the arts play in reflecting and strengthening cultures.
The event is free and open to the public and will include a reception afterward.
Green was born and raised in the Gullah community of Gardens Corner in Beaufort County, South Carolina, and is one of the state's most celebrated artists. His art is part of museum collections throughout the country and in Germany.
A graduate of The School of the Art Institute in Chicago, Green has forged strong ties to USC during the past 20 years. In addition to organizing original and traveling exhibits with McKissick Museum, he has taught and collaborated with art students on printing projects and with dance students on adaptation of his art to stage through a ballet.
The University of South Carolina Press published his book, Gullah Images: The Art of Jonathan Green, reproducing 180 images of his paintings in color.
In 1996, the University awarded Green an honorary doctor of fine arts degree.
The University's African-American Studies Program established the Robert Smalls Lecture Series in 1997 to share the latest research and scholarship on African-American studies with the community. It is named for Robert Smalls, a South Carolina slave, Civil War hero, and congressman who had a significant impact on South Carolina with his contributions to political, education, and economic reform.

The boats are being readied along Java's west coast to ferry thousands of fresh asylum seekers to Christmas Island.
But among some of the people smugglers' potential customers, the federal government's toughened policies are now deterring them from making the trip.
Mohamad Jawed, 17, is waiting with about 80 fellow Afghans in a hillside housing complex in Cisarua, about 90 minutes from Jakarta.
They are not waiting for a boat, but for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to pronounce them genuine and find them a refugee visa.
In the language of Australia's politicians, they want to join the queue and enter through the front door.
The difference, they say, is ''the rule'' - people arriving without a visa after August 13, 2012, could be sent to Nauru or Manus Island. ''If the rule was not announced then maybe I'd have arrived two, three months ago, I would have arrived in Australia,'' Mr Jawed said.
''But because of that rule we are waiting. And not just me . . . there are a lot of people that are waiting for a visa.'' Before the rule was introduced, he tried take a boat to Australia but says ruefully, ''I missed it''.
He says Labor's policies have been responsible for a steep dropoff in people making the trip from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Indonesia. Those with good reason to fear for their lives still come, but many don't.
''It's stopped - 50 per cent it's stopped and people are not coming. They are not coming because of that rule.''
It worked, Mr Jawed said, because of the stories of people going crazy when sent to Nauru.
Waiting in Indonesia, though, is tortuous. A UNHCR place is reckoned to take three years - during which time they must often beg money from their families to support them in a country where they cannot work. They were sent originally to be providers for those families, not a burden.
''The Australian government announced, 'Don't go by boat, every year we [will] send 1000 visas.' But we've seen nothing,'' says an older man, Muhammad Juma, who has waited for almost two years already, much of it in a shabby Indonesian detention centre.
Many, though, are still taking the illegal route.
Last weekend two boats, one carrying 132 people, arrived on Christmas Island. As the monsoon season ends and the sea grows calmer, sources say people-smugglers have 50 or more boats ready to sail over the next few months.
Ashya Danesh has with him his wife, Golsaman, and two sons, Ammer, 16, and Mahdi, 12. Mr Danesh is tortured by his inability to support his family.
The boys cannot go to school in Indonesia and none are allowed to work.
''If UNHCR helps us and gives house, money, we stay [in Indonesia]. If not we go by boat,'' Mr Danesh says.
Rosia - a rarity in that she's a middle-aged woman travelling alone - is also looking for a people-smuggler, but does not know how to find one.
''I will go on a boat. It's difficult for me to stay here. We don't have any money. A long time we stayed here . . . no interview with UNHCR.''
Asked if she was worried about sinking, she smiles: ''I don't worry. It's in God's hands.''

Dig it! USC Salk home to Topper archaeology exhibit
Contact: Peggy Binette 803-777-5400 firstname.lastname@example.com
Artifacts from an archaeological site in Allendale, which document man's earliest occupation in North America, have a new home at USC Salkehatchie.
The exhibit, "Searching For Our Beginnings: Public Archaeology at the Topper Site," opened Thursday (Sept. 15) at the university's West Campus in Allendale with a ceremony that featured USC President Harris Pastides, USC Salkehatchie Dean Ann Carmichael and archaeologist Dr. Al Goodyear.
Carmichael said the exhibit is an institutional collaboration that benefits the public.
"A display of Topper artifacts for the public to enjoy is good example of how our flagship and local campus are collaborating to serve our communities," Carmichael said. "We live in a region that is rich in history and heritage, and we want to bring this to life through this exhibit."
Located in the campus library, the permanent exhibit documents more than 25 years of excavation by Goodyear that provides evidence of Clovis and pre-Clovis occupations at Topper site, which is located 15 minutes from the campus along the banks of the Savannah River on the property of Clariant Corp. The Allendale region is rife with chert quarries, the flint-like stone that Paleoindians sought to make their ancient tools for hunting and other uses.
On display are text panels and cases featuring man-made stone tools that were created by flaking and chipping flint. These tools include fluted spear points that the Clovis people used for hunting around 13,100 to 12,900 years ago and points that were used by the Redstone people who emerged afterward. Also on display are blades by an earlier occupation that dates 50,000 years or more.
The pre-Clovis culture artifacts, which have garnered international attention, potentially puts man in South Carolina long before the last ice age. Goodyear's findings have put the field of archaeology in flux, opening scientific minds to the possibility of an even earlier pre-Clovis occupation in the Americas.
"People are fascinated with the origins of man and are particularly interested in knowing who the first people were who lived where they do now," Goodyear said. "Somehow, if we know where, when and how we started, we might gain some insight into who we are today. That this issue could be investigated right here in Allendale County is, well, just phenomenal."
The Topper exhibit was designed by the S.C. Archaeology Public Outreach Division (SCAPOD), a non-profit organization dedicated to preservation and archaeology education. Interactive displays and audio-visual elements that will include excerpts from documentaries that have explored the many discoveries at Topper, will be added.
The new exhibit joins other displays of artifacts at USC Salkehatchie, some donated by area citizens, and others on loan from Harvard University. The Topper exhibit is the result of a grant from the Winthrop Family Allendale-Hampton Fund and Clariant Corp.
Carmichael says the Topper exhibit is the first phase of a multi-phase project to create a science and technology center at USC Sakehatchie that will encourage research and greater interaction with the community through displays, lectures and other activities.
The "Searching For Our Beginnings" exhibit is free and open to the public during the library's operating hours: 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. on Friday and 3 – 7 p.m. on Sunday.

Xmonad/Using xmonad in Ubuntu
From HaskellWiki
Tips for Xmonad in Ubuntu
1 Without a Desktop Environment
The advantages of using xmonad in Ubuntu without a full DE are speed and reduced memory use. Here are tips on using xmonad in any of the current Ubuntu distributions without loading XFCE or a full Gnome session.
1.1 Logging in to your xmonad session
The Ubuntu package for xmonad puts its own entry in the GDM login screen and starts with a simple built-in configuration. Before logging in, click to change the "session" option from Gnome/KDE/XFCE to Xmonad.
1.2 Automounting removable media
Removable media is mounted using a volume manager. Normally, Nautilus takes care of this in Gnome and Thunar for XFCE.
There are several lightweight volume manager choices.
- skvm aims for simplicity and speed.
- Ivman was originally only for automounting, but now it can run arbitrary commands when a HAL event (closed laptop lid, a certain device is attached) is received.
- Thunar, XFCE's file manager, can be run as a daemon (thunar --daemon). It can be configured via its GUI to not open a file listing when a device is inserted.
1.3 Tray applications
Trayer has been removed from the repositories in Karmic but is still available in the Ubuntu archives: Trayer for Ubuntu Karmic.
There is also a PPA by user gspr which contains trayer.
1.4 Status bar
xmobar is in the repositories. sudo apt-get install xmobar, then follow John Goerzen's guide on configuring it.
1.5 Network management
nm-applet runs just fine in trayer. Just load nm-applet in your xmonad.hs (after trayer) and you're set.

No cheap hot dog or half price ticket promotions.
With the Reds in contention most of the year the cheap promotions won't be needed!!
"Boys, I'm one of those umpires that misses 'em every once in a while so if it's close, you'd better hit it." Cal Hubbard
Aaron Harang wins 20 and still only gets 3 votes for the Cy Young. Johan Santana wins the award before they throw the first pitch on Opening Day.
I'll predict that Joey Votto has a huge season (25+ HR, 80+ RBIs, 20 SB).
Adam Dunn is traded before July 31. (I just can't see him staying around for the entire season if the Reds aren't willing to give him that extension before the season. I hope I am wrong.)
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
The Reds will be near/or at the .500 mark at the All Star break. Marty will begin his campaingn for Dusty as Manager Of The Year. (the rest of the local media will follow suite).
There will come a time during the season this club looses three or four games in a row. While the pitching staff gives up double digits in runs scored, Marty and Jeff will lay the blame at the feet of the teams batting average with runners in scoreing position. (the rest of the local media will follow suite).
We all know that errors are part of the game, this club will not go through the season without making errors. Marty and the local media will nail Edwin and Dunn to the cross for committing any such miscue.
Jeff Brantley will tell us whenever David Wheathers gives up a basehit on an 0-2 pitch that he's going right at the hitter and challenging him by throwing strikes. The Cowboy will then tell us whenever Belisle or Coffey give up a basehit on an 0-2 pitch that they choke and lack mental toughness.
Most of us will cling to every word of information we can get from the radio brodcast and local media because we are Reds Fans. Sure we will moan and groan but we will be right back here next year and the year after.
We can't help ourselves we love baseball and we love the Reds.

At some point, the team (and many of its fans) will fall in love with a career minor leaguer for no apparent reason other than the fact that he seems to be running really hard when he does things.
Cincinnati Here We Go.
26 Years and Counting...
Aaron Harang starts the season on a slump and ends the year with an ERA around 4.50. The new Reds' ace is declared to be Edinson Volquez.
The Reds will have a significantly better second half than first. They'll still finish third in the NL Central.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
- Todd Coffey will have the best year of any righty in the pen this side of Cordero
- Brandon Phillips will regress to something like .270/.320/.420
- Junior will not get 400 PA
- Volquez will be our 2nd most effective starter
- The Reds will be clearly out of the playoffs by late August

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Stanton released, but Coffey/Weathers are so bad that we nickname them the New Stanton Twins
end of year third baseman: Adam Rosales
end of year CFer: Drew Stubbs
we discover that Adam Dunn really did have trade value
Josh Hamilton wins MVP and suffers his first heart attack
Juan Duran's severe struggles make him a board lightning rod (oh, wait-- that's not until next year)

Bill Bray is the Reds' best reliever not named Cordero.
Jay Bruce doesn't see Cincinnati until September.
Alex Gonzalez comes back and has another surprisingly good season with the bat. Just like last year, nobody notices.
Cueto doesn't get to 150 IP.
Roenicke will be brought up from the minors by June 1st and will be closer by the end of the season. Well, you wanted bold didn't you?

Listen: John Mayer heads to the studio for Beyonce 'XO' cover
Listen to John Mayer on iHeartRadio | Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
John Mayer rips out a million hearts with his tender cover of Beyonce's "XO." After debuting the rendition on his Australia Tour, the singer-songwriter headed into the studio to deliver an official version–flipping the R&B diva track into a soft, heartfelt ballad.
On the three-minute track, Mayer utilizes only a guitar, piano and harmonica to pin to the lyrics. He's a marksman with music and will be releasing this performance to iTunes Tuesday (May 27). Talk about a real treat!
Even though he's no longer with Katy Perry, Mayer digs into the love-strewn song to deliver a truly great song. Is this his not-so subtle way to beg for her back? We can only dream.
The best thing about Beyoncé? The break in her voice on the first "baby, love me lights out" in XO. Real and raw.

Are You Kidding Me? Make Another One?
CFD, Giving Our Prototype Machinists a Break
Computational fluid dynamics, of CFD, was a central focus of recent industry events, and I find the topic keeps cropping up in mil/aero discussions of late. In fact, CFD simulation tools are increasingly being employed by military prime contractors (aka, primes) to meet contract requirements, such as survivability in extreme environments and temperatures, compact size, and low cost.
"Not surprisingly CFD has become a cornerstone of aerospace mechanical design. With CFD simulation, manufacturers can greatly reduce the cost of getting a product out to market. For example, instead of testing multiple physical prototypes, design engineers can simulate and test multiple variations of the design in a fraction of the time and cost," explains Dr. Erich Buergel, general manager, Mechanical Analysis Division, Mentor Graphics.
Engineers at Azonix, a division of Crane Co. and a provider of highly engineered computers and displays for extremely harsh environments, used Mentor Graphics' FloEFD to reduce the number of thermal prototypes required (from up to 12 to 1) when designing its new Terra embedded computer.
The Terra is an embedded computer designed for use in the transportation industry that is, like other Azonix products, completely sealed from the elements and designed for use in very hot environments.
Azonix engineers used their CAD geometry with FloEFD and defined the heat dissipation sources, material properties, and the ambient temperature outside the enclosure at the product's design limit of 60 degrees Celsius. They then defined the goals and performed a thermal simulation. The software analyzed the CAD model, automatically identified fluid and solid regions, and defined the entire flow space without user interaction and without adding extra objects to the CAD model. The software generated simulation results in roughly five minutes. The results revealed that temperatures on the surfaces of key components exceeded the allowable limit of 90 degrees C.
The conduction paths from the heat dissipating components to the heat sink and heat sink geometry were the primary design parameters that offered an opportunity to improve thermal performance. The cross-section of the heat spreader was increased and changed from aluminum to copper. Gap-type thermal interface material was inserted at the interfaces between the components and the heat spreader. The thermal interface material was modeled as a contact resistance, reducing the number of cells, rather than conduction through material.
These changes substantially reduced the surface temperatures on the dissipating components, though still not enough to meet the thermal requirements. Azonix designers then optimized the design of the heat sink. After roughly six iterations, in each case changing the spacing and height of the fins, the heat sink was optimized and the internal component temperatures held to a minimum.
"The changes to the heat sink reduced the surface temperatures below the maximum allowable levels," say James Young, Design Engineer for Azonix. "The result was that we were able to complete the thermal design prior to building the first prototype. When the prototype was built and tested, the measurements were within 5 percent of the simulation predictions. As a result, this was the only thermal prototype that needed to be built. This is a good example of how the new generation of embedded CAD tools can save money and time by enabling design engineers to optimize the design from a thermal standpoint early in the design process."
The above is just one example of engineers overcoming, in little time and through automated tools, design challenges in military, aerospace, and homeland security applications. CFD is a particularly hot topic these days; considering the engineering man hours (time and money) being saved with such simulation tools, it is little question why. Color this geek impressed.

Tape & Adhesives to Keep Your Company Together
Busy offices need to stick together, and Quill's selection of tape and adhesives can keep your staff fully stocked. Craft and construction professionals are constantly in need of special tapes and glues that hold tight, and our collection has them covered. For teachers, choose bulk packs of individual glue sticks or large bottles of glue to refill small dispensers.
Bulk Packs to Stock the Office
Employees are happy when they have the supplies they need. Running out of small items such as clear tape for posting memos or signs can cause frustrating hiccups in productivity. Purchase bulk packs of classic clear tape, or equip each desk with handy little glue tape dispensers. Choose refill rolls for desktop tape dispensers, or throw a few disposable packs in the supply cabinet.
Specialty Tape and Adhesives
Professional painters and other specialty contractors need ample supplies of masking tape and other adhesives to mark locations and create clean lines and borders. Whether you just need a few rolls on hand or stacks of tape rolls for big jobs, you'll find them here. Artisans and crafters can stock up on double-sided Velcro tape by the case to add to fabrics or other creative projects. Tape isn't all serious business, though; supply your business with double-sided hanging tape to put up decorative items or inspirational posters around the office.
Creative Classroom Supplies
For elementary school teachers, glue is a fact of life. Quill's selection of adhesives includes classic glue sticks with light adhesive properties to avoid sticky messes among students. Save money and cut down on waste by purchasing liquid glue refill bottles instead of entirely new individual bottles.

Vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy
Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is any discharge of blood from the vagina. It can happen any time from conception (when the egg is fertilized) to the end of pregnancy.
About 2 or 3 out of every 10 pregnant women have vaginal bleeding during their first 20 weeks of pregnancy.
The Difference Between Spotting and Bleeding
Spotting is when you notice a few drops of blood every now and then on your underwear. It is not even enough to cover a panty liner.
Bleeding is a heavier flow of blood. With bleeding, you will need a liner or pad to keep the blood from soaking your clothes.
Ask your doctor or midwife more about the difference between spotting and bleeding at one of your first prenatal visits.
Should I Worry about Spotting?
Some spotting is normal very early in pregnancy. Still, it is a good idea to tell your doctor or midwife about it.
If you have had an ultrasound that confirms you have a normal pregnancy, call your health care provider the day you first see the spotting.
If you have spotting and have not yet had an ultrasound, contact your health care provider right away. Spotting can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy where the fertilized egg develops outside the uterus). An untreated ectopic pregnancy can be life threatening for the woman.
What Causes Vaginal Bleeding?
Bleeding in the first trimester is not always a problem. It may be caused by:
- Having sex
- An infection
- The fertilized egg implanting in the uterus
- Hormone changes
- Other factors that will not harm the woman or baby
More serious causes of first-trimester bleeding include:
- A miscarriage, which is the loss of the pregnancy before the embryo or fetus can live on its own outside the uterus. Almost all women who miscarry will have bleeding before a miscarriage.
- An ectopic pregnancy, which may cause bleeding and cramping.
- A molar pregnancy, in which the pregnancy does not form properly.
When to Call the Doctor
Call or go to your doctor or midwife right away if you have:
- Heavy bleeding
- Bleeding with pain or cramping
- Dizziness and bleeding
- Pain in your belly or pelvis
If you cannot reach your health care provider, go to the emergency room.
If your bleeding has stopped, you still need to call your doctor or midwife. Your health care provider will need to find out what caused your bleeding.
- You may need an exam and tests to check on your pregnancy.
- You may need a shot of medicine to protect your pregnancy, depending on your blood type.
What Will My Doctor Need to Know?
Your doctor or midwife may need to know these things to find the cause of your vaginal bleeding:
- How far along is your pregnancy?
- Have you had vaginal bleeding during this or an earlier pregnancy?
- When did your bleeding begin?
- Does it stop and start, or is it a steady flow?
- How much blood is there?
- What is the color of the blood?
- Does the blood have an odor?
- Do you have cramps or pain?
- Do you feel weak or tired?
- Have you fainted or felt dizzy?
- Do you have nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea?
- Do you have a fever?
- Have you been injured, such as in a fall?
- Have you changed your physical activity?
- Do you have any extra stress?
- When did you last have sex? Did you bleed afterward?
Treatment for Vaginal Bleeding
Most of the time, the treatment for bleeding is rest. Your doctor or midwife may also advise you to:
- Take time off work
- Stay off your feet
- Not have sex
- Not douche (NEVER do this during pregnancy, and avoid when not pregnant too)
- Not use tampons
Your doctor or midwife may also give you a shot of medicine to help you keep your pregnancy and avoid a miscarriage.
Very heavy bleeding may require a hospital stay or surgical procedure.
What if I Discharge More than Blood?
If something other than blood comes out, call your doctor or midwife right away. Put the discharge in a jar or a plastic bag and bring it with you to your health care provider.
Your doctor or midwife will check to see if you are still pregnant. You will be closely watched with blood tests to see if you are still pregnant.
If you are no longer pregnant, you may need more care from your health care provider, such as medicine or possibly surgery.

Haha... The comments at the bottom of that story are hilarious! It's amazing how little people know about things... They have know idea what a whale shark is and thought the kid was going to get bit. If I had a chance to swim with a 30' whale shark I'd do it in a heart beat. A 6' bull shark, not so much.
I pretty sure Shred Machine was steering the shark up to NJ so he could put it in his $20 Million, 2,000,000 gallon fish tank that he has in his guest house
They have excursions down in Mexico to swim these. NYNJ, I second that, I would do it in a heart beat!! I'll leave the bull shark for NJShred

Their Plane Crashed at the Airport, but No One Noticed
A family aboard a 1948 Cessna 170 attempted a takeoff from Florida's Williston Municipal Airport around 3pm Saturday.
Instead, they crashed 150 feet before a tree line at the taxiway's north side, reports the Gainsville Sun. But though some 20 to 30 planes took off from the airport later Saturday—and nearby pilots should have registered the signals from the plane's emergency locator transmitter—the crash was only reported to police some 22 hours later.
Authorities say a pilot first spotted the wreckage and called it in around 1pm Sunday, per WXIA. Inside, authorities found Nathan Enders, 37, of Williamson, Ga.; his wife Laura, 42; and their two young sons, Jaden, 7; and Eli, 5. All four were dead. A GoFundMe page has been set up to provide for funeral expenses and a scholarship fund for a surviving son who was not on the plane.

For an industry that loves to break with tradition, upend rules, and challenge cultural conventions, the fashion world rarely compromises on its one hard and fast criterion: all models must be the same. With minor exceptions, the models chosen for the runway are carbon copies of one another. Frequently European, facially symmetrical and size-zero, models are the least diverse constituent of the business.
The New York Times' Fashion Review recently highlighted the shift from the 1960's Twiggy standards of beauty towards the more rounded figure. Even so, such a change is not praise-worthy. The fashion world embraces diversity in fashion, but refuses to embrace the diversity of human physicality. Our cultural standards have merely been restructured, not improved.
In an effort to fight these standards, French parliamentarian Valérie Boyer created a stir last year by proposing new legislation requiring labels on all retouched photographs. Bruce Crumley of Time Magazine encapsulates Boyer's rationale:
[Boyer] feels that the idealized beauty in such photos is giving people false expectations of how the world should look — and how they should look as well. Because digitally enhanced photos are often used in mass-marketing campaigns for everything from soft drinks to luxury cars to travel packages, Boyer says the images are gradually leading to a standardization of what is considered beautiful — and by extension, what isn't.
The "standardization" Crumley refers to is the same that has been around since the influence of the Greeks and Romans. In Ancient Greek culture, beauty, in both men and women, was of utmost importance. Greek sculptors attempted to represent what they believed to be the universal ideal in the figures they shaped; the 10-year war in The Iliad was fought over because of "fair-tressed Helen of Troy." They highly esteemed beauty because they intuitively regarded objects with symmetry or pleasing proportions as beautiful. In devising what they believed was the universal ideal, they were preoccupied with beauty as part of their study of the metaphysical.
Western culture has largely inherited this view of beauty, with some modifications and without a desire to study metaphysics. In a time of plastic surgery, fashion and digital retouching, these standards are not merely part of an unattainable ideal represented in art, but are standards we now continually seek to achieve.
Standards of beauty today dictate expectations for women, men, children and ethnic minority groups across the board. 17th Century author Aphra Behn appealed to this standard in her description of her fictional character Oroonoko, who was attractive for his adherence to European ideals:
His nose was rising and Roman, instead of African and flat. His mouth the finest shaped that could be seen; far from those great turned lips which are so natural to the rest of the negroes. The whole proportion and air of his face was so nobly and exactly formed that, bating his color, there could be nothing in nature more beautiful, agreeable and handsome.
The growing number of ethnic minority groups represented in fashion magazines gives off the dubious image that diversity is becoming the norm; and we sometimes believe this trend is ushering in a more civilized and compassionate age. In reality, as it has always been, models are still expected to reach the assumed "higher universal ideal" made requisite by our culture; putting pressure on black women to hide the natural texture of their hair and using makeup to enhance the largeness of Asian eyes.
But few of us stop to consider the possibility that the higher ideal transcends racial and cultural borders. While we may all agree that attributes such as clear skin and balanced features are more attractive, there is something inherently beautiful in human appearance, not merely those appearances that fit a single race or culture's "standard of beauty." This inclusive universal beauty is difficult to quantify, and yet, arguably, fits the "universal standard" better, because it embraces—rather than rejects—what is natural.
As Boyer pointed out, our culture's standards of beauty have far reaching implications for consumers. A recreation of the Clark Doll Experiment (the test starts at 3:23), by high school student Kiri Davis, is just one example of how our narrow assessment of beauty negatively impacts individual and communal identity and value.
We are inundated with the message that everyone can be attractive, so long as we buy the right products, hire the right consultants and wear haute couture. Ours is a culture with the implicit maxim "we too can be as gods." But our obsession takes a toll on who we think we are and leads us to prejudice, alienating other human beings we do not consider "classically beautiful."
There are influential leaders like politician Boyer, model Crystal Renn, and comedian Chris Rock, who are actively seeking ways to poke holes in these standards. We must also seek to embrace diversity in order to fight the tyranny of mainstream standards of beauty.

It was an encouraging weekend for the New York Mets- an encouraging week-plus, really. New York won its third consecutive series against Houston, and a 3-1 homestand against Florida and Washington can pull the team up to .500- erasing that 5-13 start with 116 games to go.
And while nothing is guaranteed, this is an awfully good time to be playing the Yankees.
But I thought it would be a useful exercise to take a look at some players through 40 games, and project what their totals would be over a full season. We will simply do this by multiplying by four, even though 162 isn't precisely four times as much as 40 (we should actually be multiplying by 4.05). I'll then give my over-under for how I think this projection will relate to that player's actual final season totals. First, the hitters:
Josh Thole: .222/.298/.263, 0 home runs, 40 RBI, 12 extra-base hits: I think Thole improves considerably upon this, considering his career OPS was 168 points higher entering the season. With Ronny Paulino around, he's likely to be even more effective, since he'll be facing primarily righties.
Ike Davis: .302/.383/.543, 28 home runs, 100 RBI, OPS+ 155: I think it would be reasonable to expect some regression, but maybe not a ton. He checked in at 115 OPS+ last year, but 125 after the All Star break, 168 from September 1 on. So this may simply be a movement toward his true talent level. Obviously, how quickly and effectively he returns from his current injury will be key.
Daniel Murphy: .248/.311/.394, 12 home runs, 48 RBI, 40 extra-base hits: A few important things here. One is, I will take the over here, considering he's at a 96 OPS+ so far, but came into the season with a career OPS+ of 103. But even if he doesn't improve, would it surprise you to know that his OPS+ rankes tenth in baseball among primary second basemen? The point here is that if Murphy can hold his own at the position defensively- and the early returns are awfully encouraging- he is a valuable every day player without any further offensive development.
Jose Reyes: .310/.360/.471, 4 home runs, 60 RBI, 56 stolen bases in 68 attempts, 52 doubles, 24 triples: I'll take the slight under here, though it doesn't strike me as fanciful that a player with 115 and 118 OPS+ seasons should hit a higher level of talent in his age-28 season.
David Wright: .226/.337/.404, 24 home runs, 72 RBI, 36 stolen bases in 36 attempts: Obviously, I think he will finish well above these totals, though if he is truly injured, that could temper his improvement. Here's something for the David Wright bashers out there- he's in the worst slump of his career, and 11th in baseball among third basemen in OPS+, a 3-for-4 day from eighth. If he simply returns to his 2009-2010 production, he'd trail only Kevin Youkilis and Wilson Betemit in production among 2011 third basemen. So try and appreciate him, instead of ridiculously asserting that he is the problem.
Jason Bay: .216/.318/.338, 8 home runs, 24 RBI, 80 games played: Let's put it this way: if Bay doesn't significantly improve on every one of these numbers, His becomes the most immovable contract in baseball. Some signs of life this weekend were encouraging. Have to take the over on Bay, due to his career of excellence.
Angel Pagan: .159/.259/.246, 4 home runs, 24 RBI, 76 games played: Obviously, his setback in rehab is troubling. There's ample reason to expect better production when he returns, with an OPS+ of 42 this year, 122 last year, and 108 in 2009. But remember that he's had only one season with more than 88 games played in the major leagues (though this overstates things; four seasons of 113 games or more in the minor leagues). The point is, however, fragility is nothing new for Pagan- assuming he will return and play out the season unharmed may not be wise.
Carlos Beltran: .285/.373/.569, 32 home runs, 96 RBI, 52 doubles, 152 games played: The only player in the starting lineup who has clearly overachieved is Beltran. And even with him, he is playing at a rate in line with his performance as recently as 2009, and with durability he displayed as recently as 2008 (without the pounding of center field this time around). Point is that smart money is on the under going forward, but I'm not sure how far under is reasonable. One other thing: please look at Beltran's performance throughout his career before making the astonishingly ignorant statement that his 2011 has something to do with playing for a contract.
Overall, the lineup has been strong, with the Mets at fourth in the National League in runs scored. My guess is that the lineup is better over the final three quarters of the season.

Eve Ensler's Emotional Creature
At the NOW conference in June, playwright Eve Ensler delivered the keynote speech. She was a riveting speaker whose passionate words truly rallied me to action. I'd been hoping to see one of her plays ever since and, luckily, her newest show Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World is now playing Off-Broadway, and I was able to get tickets!
The sheer awesomeness of Emotional Creature truly floored me. Walking out of the theater, I was at a loss for words and just kept repeating, "That was brilliant. That was brilliant.

Healthy grocery shopping
A key step for losing weight, keeping the weight off, and staying healthy is learning how to buy the right foods at the store.
Smart Shopping
Avoid buying foods in bulk and shopping in warehouse-type stores if you can. Getting a good deal can lead to overeating. If you do buy large amounts of a food, divide it into smaller portion sizes and store what you will not use right away.
When you buy protein, choose:
- Lean ground turkey or chicken and skinless turkey or chicken breasts
- Lean meat such as bison (buffalo) and lean cuts of pork and beef (such as round, top sirloin, and tenderloin)
- Salmon or whitefish
- Egg whites and low-fat or nonfat dairy products
- Legumes, such as pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, lentils, and garbanzo beans
Buy plenty of fruits and vegetables. They will fill you up and provide vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients your body needs. Fresh ones are best. Remember though that most fruits have calories in them, so unlimited eating is not a good idea. If you buy them frozen or canned, make sure they do not have extra sugar or sauces added. Some buying tips:
- One medium-sized apple has only 72 calories.
- 1 cup carrots has only 45 calories.
- 1 cup of cut up cantaloupe melon has only 55 calories.
- Select canned fruits that are packed in water or juice, not syrup, and have no sugar added.
Choose healthy breads, cereals, and pasta, such as:
- Whole-grain breads and rolls, such as whole-wheat, pumpernickel, or 7-grain
- All bran, 100% bran, and Shredded Wheat cereals -- look for cereals with at least 4 grams of fiber per serving.
- Whole-wheat or other whole-grain pasta
Always buy real foods. Look for 100% fruit juice and whole food items. Choose foods with no extra sugar or salt and as few additives as possible.
Avoid processed foods. They are much more likely to:
- Be high in sugar and fats, which add calories
- Be low in whole grains and real fruit or vegetables
- Lack vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients
Plan Ahead
Before you buy food for the week, think about your schedule:
- When and where you will be eating over the next week?
- How much time will you have to cook?
Then, plan your meals before you shop. This can keep you from buying whatever foods look good to you, whether or not they are healthy.
Make a shopping list. Remember to take it with you, and promise yourself you will not buy things that are not on it.
Never go food shopping when you are hungry. You will make better choices if you shop after you have had a healthy meal or snack.
Know How to Read Food Labels
Learn how to read the Nutrition Facts labels on food packages. Know what the serving size is and the amount of calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates per serving.
Learn how to tell the difference between foods that are truly organic. Two words on food labels that can be misleading are "natural" and "pure."
Some other tips for reading labels and buying healthy foods are:
- Choose tuna that is packed in water, not oil.
- Check the label for the words "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" in the list of ingredients. These are unhealthy trans fats. The closer to the beginning of the list these words are, the more of them the food contains. The label will give the total trans fat content, and you want this to be zero.
- Carefully read the label of any food that claims it is a weight-loss product. Even though these words are used, the food may not be a healthy choice for you.
- Know what "lite" and "light" mean. The word "lite" can mean fewer calories, but sometimes not much fewer. There is no set standard for that word. If a product says "light," it must have at least 1/3 fewer calories than the regular food has.

A chest x-ray may show signs of pleuritis or pericarditis (inflammation around the lining of the lung or heart). An ECG may show that the heart is affected.
Most of the time, symptoms go away within several days to weeks after stopping the medication that caused the condition.
Treatment may include:
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to treat arthritis and pleurisy
- Corticosteroid creams to treat skin rashes
- Antimalarial drugs (hydroxychloroquine) to treat skin and arthritis symptoms
If the condition is affecting your heart, kidney, or nervous system, your doctor may prescribe high doses of corticosteroids (prednisone, methylprednisolone) and immune system suppressants (azathioprine or cyclophosphamide). This is rare.
Guard against too much sun exposure when the disease is active by wearing clothing and sunglasses and using sunscreen.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most of the time, drug-induced lupus erythematosus is as severe as SLE. The symptoms often go away within a few days to weeks after stopping the medicine you were taking.
Avoid taking the drug that caused the reaction in future. Symptoms are likely to return if you do so. Get regular eye exams to detect any complications early.
- Infection
- Thrombocytopenia purpura -- bleeding near the skin surface, resulting from a low number of platelets in the blood
- Hemolytic anemia
- Myocarditis
- Pericarditis
- Nephritis
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You develop new symptoms on any of the medicines listed above
- Your symptoms do notget betterafter you stop taking the medicine that caused the condition
Watch for signs of a reaction if you are taking any of the drugs that can cause this problem.

USC-MUSC pharmacy school graduates first class
The South Carolina College of Pharmacy makes history this spring as it graduates its first class -- 183 students in the integrated University of South Carolina and Medical University of South Carolina pharmacy school.
The two schools joined in 2004, bringing together the resources of a major academic medical center and a large comprehensive university. The idea was to leverage the resources of the two colleges of pharmacy to create a college on par with the best in the country.
"During the past four years, we have implemented one of the best curriculums in the U.S.," said Joseph T. DiPiro, executive dean of the South Carolina College of Pharmacy. "We are the program of choice for hundreds of applicants; our research productivity is up; our facilities have been improved, and many of our faculty and students have received national awards and recognitions.
We have exceptionally strong partners in health care organizations, and we are attracting top faculty. Not all of that is directly attributable to the integration, but it is clearly working to our advantage. The proof is the caliber of the young men and women we are sending into the profession as SCCP graduates who are USC or MUSC alumni."
The chance to work with a larger pool of top-quality professors stood out for many of the graduating students.
"We're given so many more opportunities and able to learn from truly some of the best specialty pharmacists," said Laura Broom, a student on the USC campus from Harrisburg, N.C. "For example, there are few pediatric pharmacists on the USC campus, so I greatly benefited from being able to learn from Drs. (Kathy) Chessman and (Sandra) Garner, both MUSC professors, while on the other hand MUSC students had the privilege of being taught by great infectious disease professors like Dr. (Scott) Sutton."
Randall C. Rowen, dean of the USC campus, said the integration of the two schools was a step into new territory.
"There really wasn't a precedent for something like this so we didn't always know what to expect. Integrating the two colleges was a bold decision made at an opportune time," Rowen said. "I know that most students we honor at graduation will say they are proud to be a graduate of the first class from South Carolina College of Pharmacy."
One of those students is Kendra Manigault of Moncks Corner, who will graduate from USC's Honors College and the South Carolina College of Pharmacy.
"I came to USC because I came on a tour here and I fell in love with the campus," Manigault said. "I got here in 2004 and I've loved it ever since. When I knew I wanted to go to pharmacy school I also knew I wanted to stay here. I've had six years and I've gotten everything I could have out of a university."
She said it's been an advantage – and sometimes a challenge – to have the MUSC and USC pharmacy schools integrated.
"I knew my experience with the SCCP might be a challenge due to the merger, but I was ready for the challenge and comforted by the impressive history of both pharmacy schools," she said. "We're the first class. Some things at first may not have worked perfectly, but they've listened to us. They've listened to our concerns and suggestions."
Manigault will head to Atlanta after graduation to do a residency with Kaiser Permanente. After that, she hopes to pursue a fellowship or perhaps an MBA.
Classmate Chris Bachochin was a police officer in Darlington and a former Army paratrooper before he decided to become a pharmacist. He already had a bachelor's degree from Southern Illinois University and a master's in public administration from Troy State.
"When I started, we had just adopted our daughter. So there I am my first day in class trying to figure out how I'm going to do this with a wife and 4-month-old baby," he said. "I'm used to being a non-traditional student. I believe my maturity and life experience allowed me to essentially do what was needed to be done to get my degree."
Bachochin lives in Lamar, a small town in Darlington County, and he drove about an hour to the Columbia campus for classes. The distance education setup between the Charleston and Columbia campuses was a learning experience for him.
"I had some experience with internet classes and distance education, but never to the scale that we're currently using it now," he said. "As long as it's done right, I don't foresee a real issue with it."
He is working at Clarendon Memorial Hospital in Manning, and getting ready to take his boards. He plans to stay in a hospital setting.
Chris Dykes will use his new pharmacy degree in the military, along with his wife, classmate Lisa Olson Dykes. The two will report for officer training with the U.S. Air Force in Alabama and then be stationed in Biloxi, Miss.
Dykes, whose father is an alumnus of USC's pharmacy school, attended the College of Charleston for undergraduate education and chose to stay in Charleston for his pharmacy education.
"MUSC would have been my choice campus-wise. And with the merger they would take the best of both worlds," Dykes said, adding that the chance to work with faculty, including infectious disease specialists at the USC campus, was one of the highlights. "I would never have gotten that chance if it was just MUSC. And if I went to just USC, I wouldn't have gotten our fantastic hospital at MUSC. Dr. DiPiro is bringing everybody together. He has lot of pull in the pharmacy world. It's a coveted spot to be a part of the college now."
Accomplishments and highlights of the South Carolina College of Pharmacy
Research funding has increased to place the SCCP in the top 25 percent of colleges. In 2004, the combined funding for both colleges was less than $2 million; it was $5 million this past year.
Despite a sluggish economy, applications to the SCCP were up 10 percent in 2010 and the average GPA of accepted applicants is the highest ever.
Students from both campuses have the opportunity to do rotations at more sites. The SCCP has established partnerships with major medical centers throughout South Carolina including Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center, Spartanburg Regional Hospital, Roper St. Francis and the Veterans Administration hospitals in Columbia and Charleston.
The SCCP has launched a $30 million fundraising campaign to build a new pharmacy facility on the MUSC campus.
The SCCP has recruited nationally renowned scientists as Center of Economic Excellence endowed chairs.
The SCCP has five research and service centers: the Palmetto Poison Center, the Center for Drug Discovery, the Center for Cell Death, Injury and Regeneration, the Center for Medication Safety and Efficacy, and the academic detailing program SCORxE (South Carolina Offering Prescribing Excellence). The last two are highly integrated research programs utilizing the resources of both campuses.
The SCCP has expanded into the Upstate and established partnerships with Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center (GHS) and Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System (SRHS). The SCCP has 16 co-funded faculty positions in the Upstate and a full-time Upstate regional director. It expects to open a campus at GHS, where students will be able to complete their third and fourth years.

In 2006, SWE-CSM received second place for Most Outstanding Collegiate Section, and in 2007, they hosted a successful Region I conference.
"Candace has truly taken her advisor role to heart, bringing her first-hand expertise and guidance to Mines' Collegiate Section," says Andrea Ham, vice president of university relations for SWE-CSM. "She was instrumental in restructuring our leadership and under her direction, SWE-CSM has greatly influenced campus diversity and inclusion."
Sulzbach is a member of SWE, as well as the American Society for Engineering Education and the American Society of Civil Engineers. She is also an eminent engineer for Tau Beta Pi.
The Outstanding SWE Faculty Advisor Award honors an advisor who has made a significant contribution to a SWE collegiate section. The award will be recognized October 17 at WE09, the Society's Annual Conference. WE09 will take place at the Long Beach Convention Center, October 15-17, in Long Beach, Calif.

Gaucher disease is a rare genetic disorder in which a person lacks an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase.
Glucocerebrosidase deficiency; Glucosylceramidase deficiency
Gaucher disease affects an estimated 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 100,000 people in the general population. Persons of Eastern and Central European (Ashkenazi) Jewish heritage are more likely to get this disease.
It is an autosomal recessive disease. This means that the mother and father must both pass one abnormal copy of the gene to the child in order for the child to develop the disease. A parent who silently carries an abnormal copy of the gene is called a carrier.
The lack of the glucocerebrosidase enzyme causes harmful substances to build up in the liver, spleen, bones, and bone marrow. The substances prevent cells and organs from working properly.
There are three main subtypes of Gaucher disease:
Symptoms vary, but may include:
The doctor or nurse will examine you. This may show signs of liver and spleen swelling, bone changes, lung disease, eye movement problems, heart problems, or hearing loss.
The following tests may be done:
Enzyme replacement therapy is available. A bone marrow transplant may be needed in severe cases.
For more information contact:
How well a person does depends on the subtype of the disease. The infantile form of Gaucher disease may lead to early death. Most affected children die before age 5.
Adults with the type 1 form of the disease can expect normal life expectancy with enzyme replacement therapy.
Genetic counseling is recommended for prospective parents with a family history of Gaucher disease. Testing can determine if parents carry the gene that could pass on the Gaucher disease. A prenatal test can also tell if a baby in the womb has Gaucher syndrome.

NFL announces 2013 regional combine sites
By Derek Harper | The Sports Xchange/CBSSports.com

0 | Comment
The NFL will conduct 10 "regional combines" in 2013, intended to serve as a supplement to the annual national scouting combine held in Indianapolis in February.
The league began the program last year in an effort to provide a platform for lesser-known prospects to work out for NFL scouts. Between 300-350 players typically travel to the invite-only national combine.
At the regional sites, prospects will have an opportunity to tested and evaluated by NFL scouting personnel, including agility tests and positional drills. Those numbers are entered into a database and shared with all 32 NFL teams.
The NFL Regional Combines program provides players who may not have had the chance before the opportunity to work out for NFL personnel executives, NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Ray Anderson said in a statement. It allows all 32 clubs a chance to further evaluate future prospects.
Players eligible for the regional combines include:
Players eligible for the 2013 NFL Draft but not attending the National Scouting Combine
Players with college playing experience who want to gauge their pro potential
Players with some pro playing experience but who have been out of the game for a period of time
Standouts at the regional sites are likely to be offered an invitation to the national combine. A total of 14 players who attened a regional workout last year were on opening week rosters this season, and 14 more made practice squads. At least one player from seven of the eight 2012 regional combines opened the season with an NFL team.
The first regional combine in 2013 will be held Jan. 24-25 at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. The final one will be the "super regional combine" at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas from April 7-8.
The full schedule:
Date / Location / Facility
Jan. 24-25 / Honolulu / University of Hawaii
Feb. 9-10 / Los Angeles / Orange Coast College-Lebard Stadium
Feb. 16 / Houston / Methodist Training Center
Feb. 17 / Cleveland / Cleveland Browns Training Facility
March 2-3 / New York/New Jersey / Atlantic Health Jets Training Facility
March 9 / Tampa Bay / One Buccaneer Place
March 10 / Chicago / Halas Hall
March 16-17 / Atlanta / Atlanta Falcons Training Facility
March 23-24 / Seattle / Virginia Mason Athletic Center
March 23-24 / Baltimore / Baltimore Ravens Training Facility
April 7-8* / Dallas / Cowboys Stadium
*2013 Super Regional Combine (invitation only)
It can be tough for prospects to gain attention from NFL teams if they don't receive an invitation to the National Combine in Indianapolis. However 14 players who worked out at the regional combines prior to the 2012 NFL Draft began this season on NFL rosters. And another 14 earned spots on NFL practice squads.
One of those players is Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein, who was drafted by St. Louis in the sixth round despite not earning an invitation to the Combine in Indianapolis and has shined as a rookie. He did, however, participate in the the 2012 Super Regional Combine, which helped him get noticed by pro scouts.
If it [playing in the NFL] is a big dream of yours, it'd be a good thing," said Zuerlein. "You have to keep trying to pursue your dreams.
The Jaguars currently have three players on their roster who participated in Regional and Super Regional Combines during the pre-draft process last year. DB Antwon Blake (UTEP), WR Kevin Elliott (Florida A&M) and OLB Julian Stanford (Wagner) went undrafted, but all three were signed by Jacksonville as free agents and are currently on the Jaguars' active 52-man roster.
"I definitely recommend the Regional Combine to aspiring players, especially at smaller schools", said Stanford, who prepped at FCS-level Wagner. "People tend to think that good athletes only play at the Division I-A level, but I always told my teammates and I always believed that if you're an athlete and you belong at the next level then you'll be at the next level regardless. I feel like going to the Combine gives you the opportunity to showcase your talent in front of 32 teams that may have overlooked you before that.
But these combines, which are restricted to 240 participants each, aren't just for unheralded college prospects. NFL players who have struggled to stick on a roster are also able to work out for teams in an attempt to get back in the league. Last year several non-college prospects participated in the Regional Combines, including RB Keon Lattimore who went undrafted out of Maryland in 2008. The younger half-brother of Ravens MLB Ray Lewis, Lattimore had earned several NFL try-outs, but failed to make the final cut. However he didn't give up on his dream of playing football and saw last year's Regional Combines as an opportunity.
I just wanted to do something -- keep playing, keep perfecting my craft -- where I wasn't just sitting around, waiting around," said Lattimore. "So when the opportunity finally did come, I would be ready.

An Italian court yesterday reversed the acquittal of Amanda Knox and found her guilty of murder after a different Italian court had previously convicted her before another court overturned those convictions. Now, yet another Italian court must confirm the verdicts. Crazy. Amanda is in the US and as long as she continues to stay in the US will never be extradited to Italy. Her former boyfriend was in Italy for the trial and was stopped at the Austrian border trying to flee the country. Amanda was on Good Morning American to talk about the new verdict.
