Fabio Capello has not quite secured England's qualification for the 2010 World Cup finals, but his squad announcement confirmed the stability that has been achieved. The party for the friendly with Slovenia on Saturday and the qualifier with Croatia the following Wednesday had no element of surprise.
His goalkeeping deliberations carried a minor interest, David James took no part in Portsmouth's 1-0 defeat by Manchester City and although he was reported as having treatment for a knee injury it was thought that he would be available for his country. This seems to have been unacceptable to Capello.
James, 39, was not involved with the draw against Holland this month. He could make a case for himself if he settles down this season and there has been talk of a move tomorrow, perhaps to join Tottenham Hotspur, whose regular goalkeeper Heureleho Gomes is injured for the time being.
In Amsterdam, Robert Green, the West Ham United goalkeeper, made some good saves, but there is no guarantee that he will be between the posts for his country in the forthcoming matches. Foster was not fit to face the Dutch, but he has been appearing for Manchester United.
On Saturday, he did not excel when Arsenal opened the scoring, but an excellent stop prevented Robin van Persie from doubling the lead and so left his team in a position to pull off a recovery and win 2-1 at Old Trafford. Capello will have to weigh up that mixed evidence.
If James were to change clubs, White Hart Lane would seem the ideal setting for the moment. The side has taken full points from their league programme so far and the run was maintained on Saturday by Aaron Lennon's last-minute winner over Birmingham City. Capello would have brought back the winger in any case.
Lennon's team-mate Peter Crouch had been left out of the England squad for the Holland match because he was not featuring prominently for Tottenham after his transfer from Portsmouth. On Saturday, though, he came off the bench to make the breakthrough against Birmingham.
Capello has not excluded any striker to make space for Crouch. His name is added to those of Wayne Rooney, Emile Heskey, Jermain Defoe and Carlton Cole in a 24-man party. The manager seems to have as many options as he could reasonably have expected.
The versatile Wes Brown, of Manchester United, is fit once more and could be an alternative to Glen Johnson at right-back or simply serve as cover for the other back four positions.

We are pleased to present the line-up of main speakers below for our GOLD Lactation Online Conference 2017! These speakers have been selected by our program committee to ensure we are bringing you the most up to date and relevant content that we can. Click on the topics below to review further details on each presentation.
Alex has been a lactation consultant in the Washington, DC area since 2010. In addition to running her private practice, Bethesda-Chevy Chase Lactation Consultants, Alex cares for breastfeeding moms and babies at Hirsch Pediatrics in Rockville, MD. After earning her master's in English Literature and teaching for several years, Alex met two extraordinary people that inspired her to enter the field of lactation: her daughters. Alex has worked at Inova Fairfax Hospital and Sibley Memorial Hospital as an in-patient lactation consultant. In 2015, she graduated summa cum laude from the University of Maryland Baltimore School of Nursing with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing. Alex is committed to increasing awareness for impaired mammary organ development (IMOD) and impaired mammary organ function (IMOF).
Often overlooked and as elusive as the butterfly it resembles, the thyroid gland may lurk behind a number of breastfeeding difficulties, including low-supply, over-supply, and overt lactation failure. Recent research has revealed that thyroid disorders during pregnancy and postpartum are more common than previously thought. A substantial amount of our current professional discourse centers around tongue-tie, which occurs in anywhere from 4.2%-10.7% of babies, while thyroid disorders in lactating women may in fact be more prevalent than tongue tie, affecting anywhere from 6.7%-13.3% of women in the postpartum period. Even more alarming is that as many 50-80% of these cases may be missed by a woman's healthcare provider. During this presentation, you will gain a basic understanding of how the thyroid gland functions and the various ways in which a dysfunctional thyroid can adversely affect lactation. You will also learn which signs and symptoms warrant a referral to a primary health care provider. We will review the latest evidence-based thyroid hormone reference values appropriate for a woman during pregnancy and postpartum so that, if your patient does undergo testing, you will feel confident discussing those results with her. Finally, we will discuss some herbal and dietary recommendations for improving thyroid function.
Amy Barron Smolinski holds an MA from Union Institute and University, where her thesis explored re-emerging Sacred Feminine manifestations in the lives of contemporary women. She is the Executive Director of Mom2Mom Global, a network of breastfeeding peer support, education, and advocacy for military families, and she serves on the steering committee of the Military Breastfeeding Coalition. An Advanced Lactation Consultant, she works with breastfeeding dyads in a variety of settings, from inpatient postpartum and NICU to home visits, telephone, and online consulting. Supporting breastfeeding families has shown her how each parent's breastfeeding journey with each of her children is a reclamation of the connection to inner wisdom and power. Amy is an actress, director, and professional voice talent, and she teaches theatre classes in the Kaiserslautern Military Community in Germany, where she resides with her husband and four sons, the youngest of whom is still breastfeeding.
Some women who initiate breastfeeding will not meet their duration goals. There are a number of factors that contribute to undesired weaning. For a woman who ceases breastfeeding before she desires to do so, it can be devastating. For the lactation professional or peer supporter, this can also feel like failure. Grief counseling and ethical principles are applicable to supporting a mother grieving the loss of the breastfeeding relationship she desired. This presentation uses case studies to address the questions of how breastfeeding supporters ethically and compassionately support mothers who end their breastfeeding journey before they wish to, how lactation professionals and peer supporters can manage our own feelings in these situations, and what are the ramifications of these cases as we continue to share accurate breastfeeding information in the face of media-driven culture in which infant feeding is loaded with guilt, shame, and fear.
Dr Amy Brown is an Associate Professor in the Department of Public Health, Policy and Social Sciences at Swansea University in the UK. Her research explores psychological, cultural and societal barriers to breastfeeding, with an emphasis on understanding how we can better support women to breastfeed and subsequently raise breastfeeding rates. Her primary focus is how we can shift our perception of breastfeeding as an individual mothering issue, to a wider public health problem, with consideration how we can make societal changes to protect and encourage breastfeeding. Dr Brown has published over 50 papers exploring the barriers women face in feeding their baby during the first year and has recently published her first book 'Breastfeeding Uncovered: Who really decides how we feed our babies'. She is a regular Huffington Post blogger, aiming to change the way we think about breastfeeding, mothering and caring for our babies.
The majority of women should be able to breastfeed, but elements of their experience are ultimately stopping them from doing so. Breastfeeding works best when done responsively but many psychological, social and cultural factors work directly or more subtly against responsive feeding, meaning that many mothers experience difficulties with breastfeeding which can lead to premature weaning. These factors can include separation of mother and baby, a lack of understanding of breast milk production, public attitudes and wider pressures of motherhood to name a few. If we want to support mothers to breastfeed we must understand and target these wider factors to create a supportive breastfeeding environment. It is important however that our approaches to breastfeeding promotion and education are perceived positively by mothers in order for them to be effective. In this presentation I'll be addressing the common barriers to breastfeeding and their impact, along with new research that looks at how mothers perceive common breastfeeding education messaging and what this research tells us about how we can change our approach to ensure our messages have the intended impact.
Barbara D. Robertson, IBCLC, has been involved in education for over 28 years. She received a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education in 1988 and her Master's in Education in 1995. Barbara left teaching elementary students in 1995 to raise her two children. Barbara is now the Director of The Breastfeeding Center of Ann Arbor. Barbara has developed a 90 hour professional lactation training, a 20 hour course which fulfills the "Baby Friendly" education requirements, and is a speaker for hire on a wide variety of topics including Motivational Interviewing. Barbara volunteered for the United States Lactation Consultation Association as the Director of Professional Development for 4.5 years. She is currently an Associate Editor for Clinical Lactation, a journal she helped create for USLCA. Barbara has free podcasts, a blog, and youtube videos which can all be found on her website bfcaa.com. She has written many articles and created a phone app for working and breastfeeding mothers. She loves working with mothers and babies, helping them with breastfeeding problems in whatever way she can.
Breastfeeding is widely acknowledged as being the healthiest way to feed an infant for at least two years. In the United States of America, the CDC 2014 Breastfeeding Report Card states that 79.2% of mothers start out breastfeeding. However, as the babies get older, these numbers plummet. Only 49.4% of these babies are receiving any breastmilk by 6 months of age. We know from the literature that the primary reasons mothers stop breastfeeding in these early months are pain and worrying about their breastmilk supply. These are problems with solutions if the proper support is in place. Why is this support lacking? Is it because for all of the talk, "breast is best", the importance of breastfeeding is not really valued? What if successful breastfeeding was reframed into a milestone? Baby's first milestone? This presentation will explore other milestones, walking, talking, and learning to read, and what happens if babies and young children are not reaching these markers in a reasonable time frame. What support systems are in place to help these milestones be achieved if babies are faltering? The possible reasons for a baby not being able to breastfeeding and possible solutions will then be examined from the lens of having proper support systems in place.
Brandi Gates is an every day, hard working bay area mother. She was born and raised in the diverse San Francisco, Bay Area. She has 3 beautiful daughters Azarriah, 12, Zaleeya, 6 and Ziyanna, 5. While earning her bachelors degree in sociology from Cal-State East Bay, she breastfed Azarriah for 19 months. She understands the time and energy it takes to exclusively breastfeed when there's many life obligations. While overcoming her own lactating difficulties with her daughter Azarriah, she realized how many bay area mothers have issues with breastfeeding and have no one to help. She became very passionate about breastfeeding and decided to pursue a career in helping and educating parents about lactation. She started working at an Alameda County WIC program. When she started there, she would support teen mothers with lactating challenges, going back to school and just being mothers at such a young age. After 3 years, her passion for helping mothers breastfeed grew. At the University of California, San Diego, Brandi earned her lactation consultant certificate in 2010 than went on to become an international board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) providing in-home lactation consulting, support and education for families throughout the East Bay. Her purpose and passion is to help create strong, healthy and happy families. Brandi is also the lead facilitator of the Breast Friends Mommy's Group. The group is targeted towards women of color giving them a safe space for overcoming their breastfeeding challenges.
In Alameda County, Black women are initiating exclusive breastfeeding, but only ~15% remain breastfeeding by 3 months. For impoverished Black women, especially those in their teen years or who may have less than high school education, these numbers are even lower (9-12%). There is minimum breastfeeding support for black families.
When Black mothers in West Oakland who received peer and professional breastfeeding support through Breast Friends, exclusive breastfeeding at 3 months rose to 63%. This project expanded the Breast Friends model to East Oakland while also training 12 new peer counselors (including 1 father), 24 new group facilitators, and enhancing breastfeeding messaging in the California Black Infant Health program. The project surpassed our expectations. 5 out of the 12 trained peer counselors are now working in other community organizations as Community health outreach worker, peer counselors, doulas and WIC staff.
Cecilia Tomori, PhD, MA, is a Hungarian American anthropologist with postdoctoral training in public health. Dr. Tomori's research examines the sociocultural aspects of health, illness and inequality with a focus on breastfeeding. Dr. Tomori's recent book, Nighttime Breastfeeding: An American Cultural Dilemma (Berghahn Books, 2014), investigates cultural controversies surrounding breastfeeding and infant sleep using anthropological, historical, and feminist perspectives. Dr. Tomori has presented her research at numerous conferences for a variety of audiences. She is currently a Research Associate at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Nighttime breastfeeding and proximate mother-infant sleep play a crucial role in sustaining lactation but present challenges for parents in settings where solitary infant sleep is the norm, and bedsharing is viewed as controversial and inherently dangerous. While separate parent-child sleep arrangements are a relatively recent cultural invention, they have become the dominant cultural norm, which also shapes medical infant sleep guidance in the U.S. and other similar settings. Recent breastfeeding promotion efforts, however, conflict with these cultural and medical imperatives for separate sleep. As more parents breastfeed, they find themselves falling asleep next to their babies. Some may fall asleep on unsafe surfaces in their attempt to avoid bedsharing, while others regularly bedshare in secret to avoid social stigma and other repercussions. To ensure both safety and wellbeing for infants and families, an integrated approach to nighttime breastfeeding and infant sleep will be recommended that incorporates evolutionary and cross-cultural perspectives.

The majority of women begin breastfeeding at birth. Within the first 6 weeks, however, breastfeeding rates fall dramatically. To help women hang in with breastfeeding beyond the first weeks, we must first understand why they struggle. Learn what the research is saying and what you can do in your practice to help women meet their breastfeeding goals. IBCLC's who specialize in the early weeks of breastfeeding will share case examples based on over 20 years of working with breastfeeding families.

During a time when lactation professionals are facing unprecedented negativity on top of the usual challenges, it's easy to get drawn into the conflict or to start wondering if what we do makes a difference. How do we lift one another up to maintain a positive focus on using our knowledge and skills to guide families who are feeling scared and confused? How do we set aside our biases to make sure we're listening to all sides? How do we connect and collaborate with other professions to expand the network of support for new families? This panel discussion focuses on answering those questions and providing steps that can be taken to promote collaboration both within the field of lactation and with other members of the health care team to improve breastfeeding knowledge translation and mobilization. This is your chance to hear from Dr. Amy Brown, Christy Jo Hendricks and Joy MacTavish as they share their thoughts on this hot topic during our panel discussion titled "Lifting up the Lactation Profession".

Did you know that a mother who breastfeeds her child is more likely to "match" as an organ donor than a mother who does not breastfeed her child? How does that happen? The answer may lie in the Maternal-Newborn Microbiome, AKA "The Oro-boobular" axis. The scientific world is exploding with excitement over the discovery of the microbiome. While it appears clear that a suckling infant's intestinal microbiome communicates with the mother's lactocyte and perhaps beyond, little is known about the effects of this communication in practical terms. This presentation will review what is known and attempt to explain what it means, both now and in the future.

Topic: Sending Reports: What's in it for IBCLCs? - [View Abstract]
The age-old practice of mindfulness meditation has increased in popularity across the globe over the past four decades and gained traction within the psychological and medical fields. Mindfulness centers on non-judgmental awareness of one's bodily sensations, thoughts, and emotions in the present moment. It has been scientifically shown to reduce stress, chronic pain, medical and psychological symptoms, and enhance immune function. Mindfulness practices often focus on psychobiological processes, which makes them well suited as in intervention during the perinatal period, and even more specifically breastfeeding. This presentation outlines the ways in which mindfulness can positively impact lactation, during its normal course and especially when there are challenges. As lactation professionals who clinically and holistically support clients, it is beneficial to be able to share mindfulness strategies that can serve as a bridge between the mental, emotional, and physiological realms. Through a greater understanding of the practical aspects of mindfulness, gentle interventions can be incorporated into each feeding session. By supporting calm and connection within the parent and between the parent and infant, the experience of breastfeeding can be enhanced.
Most lactation professionals love client interactions, but only send reports to health care providers out of a sense of duty. But writing and sending reports to our client's health care providers can be more just an administrative task. Yes, it complies with IBLCE's Code of Ethics to "Principle 4: Report accurately and completely to other members of the healthcare team" but it can also increase collaboration, improve client outcomes, and grow your practice.
This presentation seeks to reframe the process of writing and sending reports from a dreaded task to a clinical, ethical, and holistic way of supporting our clients while positively positioning ourselves as allied health professionals. Beyond the ethics (yes or no) and practicalities ("S.O.A.P." or not), a report to a health care provider is a source of communication about the consultation as well as marketing about your clinical skill, role in the client's lactation experience, and lactation practice. With a combination of the why and how, this presentation outlines the ways in which reports to health care providers can be beneficial to the client, the health care provider, and the IBCLC, as well as devoting some time to specific strategies that lactation consultants can implement to streamline the process of sending reports so that we can get to the next client.

This lecture/course is intended to familiarize the medical and allied health community in the recognition of the often-overlooked muscle-related structural barriers to breastfeeding. It provides a discussion of clues to the predisposing factors of these barriers and explores their affect on infant "functional mobility" as it relates to the achievement of successful breastfeeding. It is intended to improve the clinician's assessment skills as they work with the mother/infant dyad in resolving breastfeeding difficulties/dysfunctions by development of insight into these often hidden and profoundly destructive structural manifestations. Recognition of these barriers with an emphasis on self-help techniques and when/who to refer parents/caregivers to for help, together with how to best meet their teaching/training needs across cultural barriers, is discussed. The ultimate purpose is the achievement of insight to improve the clinician's evaluation process, better enabling them to promote, enhance and even save the breastfeeding experience of the families served.

The historical evolution of infant feeding includes direct breastfeeding, wet nursing and bottlefeeding. Before the invention of bottles/ vessels to feed babies, wet nursing was the safest and most common alternative way to feed a baby. As bottles and nipples were developed, scientific advancement improved formulas, wet nursing fell out of favor. It gradually went from being widely accepted as the most normal way to feed a baby to where we currently are as a modern society. It is negatively seen as being weird and risky behavior. When mothers do not breastfeed or give their babies human milk, they use formula to feed their babies. Given the current knowledge of lack of complete nutrition formula has more mothers are showing an interest and actively pursuing wet/cross nursing. This presentation will help us understand the history of wet nursing and offer reasons to support, advocate and be encouraging to mothers who want to participate in the practice of wet/cross nursing.
Paulina Erices is the proud mother of three children, a bilingual Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in private practice, and a Community Health Worker for the Jefferson County Public Health Department supporting families with children with special health care needs. She is originally from Chile and has lived in the US for 13 years. She holds a BS in Psychology from Penn State and is currently completing her MS in Leadership and Organizations from the University of Denver. She has been a La Leche League Leader for 10 years where she has held different mother and Leader support roles. She participates in Special Kids, Special Care, Inc. and the NICU Consortium building transition-to-home and community support systems for families with premature and medically fragile infants in Colorado. She enjoys organizing educational events and being part of the inspiring and energizing Colorado lactation community.
Lactation consultants would benefit from expanding their understanding of the impact of the NICU stay on the family; moreover, they would benefit from identifying the essential role they could play in assisting families to accomplish a positive, healthy, and smooth transition home.
Despite continuing efforts to reduce prematurely worldwide, a significant number of infants are born too early or in a fragile medical condition. Many of these infants experience a lengthy stay at the NICU. Lactation support varies across facilities, but families, especially mothers, develop strong connections with their lactation consultant. As one of their most consistent providers in the NICU, the lactation consultant has the opportunity to recognize families' need for continuing support after discharge and strategies to protect the breastfeeding relationship, attachment, and mental health in the long term.
Ruth Lucas, PhD, RNC, CLS, is a maternal-infant health nurse researcher with a focus on infant breastfeeding behaviors. Dr. Lucas received her Bachelor of Nursing from George Mason University (1986) and spent 20 years at the bedside supporting mothers and infants initiate breastfeeding. She observed a lack of clinical knowledge regarding intervention and neurological implications for infants demonstrating dysregulated latch and sucking behaviors. To answer these questions, she attended the University of Illinois at Chicago for her Master (2009) and Doctor of Philosophy of Science (2011) degrees. Her published work describes infant feeding behaviors, including at what intraoral pressure are preterm infants are able to transfer milk, a concept paper of measures of neonatal neurobehavioral organization including infant feeding behavior, maternal recall of their children diagnosed with autism, newborn breastfeeding behaviors, and maternal self-report of different infant breastfeeding behaviors during the first month of life.
Infant feeding behavior is a complex neurodevelopment behavior. Infant feeding is compressed of infants' latch and SuPPRT (sucking pressure pattern regulated over time) in both bottle and breastfeeding sessions. In preterm bottle feeding infants, the regulation of these two components is a measure of neurodevelopment. However, infants' latch and SuPPRT in breastfeeding has not been explored. Dr. Lucas will review infants' latch and SuPPRT during bottle and breastfeeding and explore how these differences make breastfeeding a more sensitive newborn neurodevelopmental measure. Finally, Dr. Lucas will propose why we should consider differences in infant latch and SuPPRT to be a neurodevelopmental infant measure.

Food/nutrition is a basic need of individuals. Unethical, uncontrolled marketing practices have added to age-old confusions and misconceptions. Products are subtly portrayed as essential and convenient to "modern parents".
Since the time that WHO/UNICEF has declared an International Code, many WHA resolutions have been resolved. Convention on the Rights of the Child accepts the right to enjoy a highest attainable standard. Innocenti Declaration was adopted on Protection, Promotion and Support of Breastfeeding.
It is important to support woman, by enacting legislation and adopting its enforcement and by providing adequate paid maternity benefits/leave.
The Indian government has enacted the Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottles & Infant Foods Act.
People should be vigilant enough to realize that legislations are not merely pieces of paper. Health workers have a moral and ethical responsibility to provide health education and report violations by becoming a "Watch-guard".
Even after many legislations, some manufacturers are behaving as if these recommendations don't affect them and have ignored or just given lip services. Health workers, and the general population has a great influence on decision making. There is need to follow laws in spirit rather than words.

She is also a member of the Kings College London Research Ethics Governance and Policy Committee (KCL). She has been a breastfeeding peer supporter with the NHS for a number of years and is the owner author of the resource site for mothers and healthcare practitioners on Breastfeeding / Nursing Aversion and Agitation (BAA), www.breastfeedingaversion.com, where she researches and writes for the viewers of this site, to try to understand what BAA is and why it arises.
Aversion to breastfeeding or agitation while breastfeeding is known to occur in some women who breastfeed while pregnant, or who tandem feed a newborn and a toddler. However, it is a little researched area, and the paucity of published literature around breastfeeding aversion and agitation reveals a significant gap in the literature. My presentation presents the findings of an exploratory online survey that sheds light on what appears to be a commonly experienced phenomenon of aversion and agitation whilst breastfeeding, which varies in form, severity and duration. BAA is characterised by feelings of anger or rage, a skin crawling sensation and an urge to remove the suckling infant, but can also be feelings of agitation and irritability whilst the infant is latched. Mothers who experience BAA still continue to breastfeed, but have feelings of guilt and shame about BAA and are often confused about having feelings of BAA. Research is needed to understand the reasons for BAA, its causes, triggers and strategies to minimize the experience in breastfeeding mothers.

Thank you Camille for being willing to run again.
Camille is the one candidate I feel I know the most about. The fact that she has already held two terms means that we know her views on many things and this should make it easy, but then again I get the impression that she is only running again to give us an election rather than another shoe in.
If this is the case and she is reluctantly running, I thank her for doing that as giving us a choice is very valuable. I don't think she should be criticized for running again as the alternative of having no election would not be a good thing for PAUSD.
I do think it is time for new blood on the board and we will be getting it, but the question as far as I can see is do we want one new face or two new faces on the board. At least one of the incumbents will be elected, so which one is likely to balance the board out best? We know from the past some of Camille's thoughts on the hot topics and how she has voted.

PITTSBURGH (AP) Mister Rogers is taking his neighborhood to the streets of New Orleans.
A traveling exhibit that had visited 31 museums in 22 states will be made a permanent exhibit at the Louisiana Children's Museum. The exhibit, which includes a replica of King Friday's castle and a closet full of sweaters and sneakers such as the ones worn by Fred Rogers, opens June 22, the one year anniversary of the museum's reopening after being closed after Hurricane Katrina.
"With children and families not being back in their homes, a lot of them, the visits to this museum is somewhat of a calming and safe place," said David Newell, known to millions of children and adults as Mister Rogers' friend Mr. McFeely on the hit children's show. "That was part of the rationale behind giving it to the museum. It's a wonderful gift to the city and the children."
The museum was closed for 10 months following the August 2005 hurricane. It suffered extensive roof and water damage, and its staff of 40 dropped to a low of four, said Julia Bland, the museum's executive director.
In June 2006, more than 5,000 visitors came out to celebrate the nearly 21-year-old museum's reopening. Tens of thousands of visitors have gone through the museum since.
Bland said New Orleans is a city of neighborhoods, which makes the Mister Rogers' exhibit a natural addition. The museum shows kids how to pilot a tugboat down the Mississippi, shop at a grocery store and learn about healthy habits.
"The commitment of our neighbors to rebuild their homes is the driving factor of rebuilding neighborhoods and ultimately reclaiming our city," Bland said. "As Fred Rogers said, 'At the heart of every neighborhood are its children.' For the Pittsburgh Children's Museum to offer the Louisiana Children's Museum a new neighborhood is the ultimate gift of resiliency."
Jane Werner, executive director of the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, said the museum decided in 2006 to take the traveling exhibit off the road and find a permanent home for it. Werner said New Orleans was a natural choice because of Rogers' belief that neighbors need to look out for each other.
"We hope the exhibit will give the families of New Orleans a respite from the stresses and strains of living in the city," she said. "Hopefully, it will give families time to talk, listen and learn from each other."
The hands-on exhibit invites children — and adults — to step into Mister Rogers' world. The only thing behind glass is an original pair of sneakers worn by Rogers on the show, which still airs today in reruns.
"I think it's a nice gesture to say that here are some people thinking about their hardships. It's a little comforting to invite them into a neighborhood that's calming," said Newell, who will be on hand — in full costume — for the exhibit's opening in New Orleans.
Visitors can enter the exhibit through a front porch and come into Mister Rogers' living room. They can play with a miniature trolley, try costumes on in King Friday's castle and play with puppets in X the Owl's big oak tree.
The exhibit is similar to one that is already a permanent part of the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh.
Newell said through these exhibits and other projects, he and other members of Pittsburgh-based Family Communications Inc. hope to preserve Rogers' legacy and extend his message for generations to come.
Rogers died of stomach cancer in February 2003.

Over the past year and a half since the Avatar Fanon Wiki became part of this site, the volume of fanon articles submitted has been phenomenal, and the readership for fan fiction has been on the rise. However, with this energy, there has been a steady stream of fanon and fan fiction submissions that I believe have detracted from the quality of this site. We have tried to implement policies to clean out these articles periodically if they are not fixed, but I'm concerned that this measure is not enough. Just click the random page button a couple of times, and you'll see what I mean.
With consideration to this situation, I'm proposing a further tightening of our site policies in the area. Specifically, these changes include:
- Immediate move to user space of fanon articles found to be substandard: This would replace the current thirty day time limit for fixing or finishing of pages. We would also make a new template to notify users on their user talk page of what has happened - this would be a kind and polite notification, of course. I'm starting to find it ridiculous that people are allowed to draft and slowly construct their pages in a very visible namespace that is accessible through using Special:Random, and is part of our article count. We end up having articles with vast walls of text, and articles with not much else but a couple of headings that "will be filled out later". Like other wiki sites (and this includes Wikipedia), we should force users to make their drafts in their user space, and then shift it to a content namespace when it is actually ready to show everyone. That way, every article that we show to the outside world is at least to some basic standard.
- Ban the use of the "under construction" template on fanon pages: This is closely related to the preceding proposal. Fanon articles can never be "under construction". Anything that is "under construction" really is a draft, and drafts should be in the user space.
- Force all fanon article titles to be structured in the same way as detailed in a previous blog post by Vulmen: This stops the wiki from looking like a mish-mash of very different ideas, and introduces some professionalism. This can't be too hard, based on the number of articles created each day. If a user is unaware that titles should be chosen in this way, then it is relatively simple for a more experienced user to move the article to the correct title.
I'm also suggesting a number of styling changes to fanon articles. Template:Property has irritated me for many, many months - not just because of its colour, but because of the way it just pushes down content, using up an unacceptable amount of screen real estate. We now have a rail between the title and the article text; surely we can use that thin line for story attribution. I suggest a template to go where the icons normally are for canon articles, saying "by [insert user name here]". I also suggest that fanon templates move away from the black and white colour scheme and go for softer colours that are only subtly different from the rest of the site's theme.
I look forward to your feedback.

Any recommendations for a wireless access point? I'm looking to keep the cost under $300 (at the very most).
I need, at a minimum, the following:
- Wireless N
- 1 GigE LAN Port
- WPA2 Enterprise Support
It'd be nice to have support for VLAN trunking in the future, but that's not an immediate need by any means. The only ones that I've found that meet these requirements have horrible reviews regarding connectivity.

We use 3Com's 7760 series - they are ROCK solid & never have any issues. The range on them is incredible for how small they are.
That said, just wondering, why the GigE requirement?

Do you want 802.11n draft or completed spec?
Oct 6, 2009 at 12:01 UTC
Draft is sufficient.
The point of the GigE port is to take full advantage of the 802.11n connectivity. It wouldn't seem to make sense to upgrade to 802.11n then have Fast Ethernet be the bottleneck for the connection.
Oct 6, 2009 at 12:07 UTC
Okay - just wondering.
I have had nothing but problems with N though honestly, so we opted against going that route. We have tried a lot of vendors, but the 3Com APs seem to work the best for us.

Given those requirements I'd look at the Linksys WRT350N Wireless Router.
It isn't pretty but it's got all the network attributes youd want in your price range. Additionally, I would flash it with DD-WRT firmware to get full enterprise functionality. Since this unit is 8MB model you'll be able to use the Mega build which has every feature. Truly a remarkable solution for such a low cost. I'd give the remainder of your $300 budget to the DD-WRT project.

Ways to wean from a pacifier
We were very fortunate (though it didn't feel like it at first) that none of our 3 took pacifiers. I have heard WONDERFUL things about cutting a hole in the tip of the pacifier. It removes the suction from the paci, and makes it much less enjoyable to suck on. By doing this, most children will just give up on their pacifiers on their own because it doesn't give them the same satisfaction it once did.
I have heard of doing this too. I'm interested to hear if this worked for anyone! Both of mine are past that stage and luckily weaning from the binky wasn't hard. Still, I know some kiddos have a hard time giving it up!
My daughter is almost 2, and still has one. She only has it for bed now. But it is for comfort, she doesn't suck on it. She just has it. She is very shy and gets nervous. Her doctor told me not to take it until she lets me know she is ready. She only gets it for bed though. So it never leaves her bed. We aren't too worried, mostly bc she only has 1 binky, and it is orthopedic. so it is very soft, and does not affect her teeth. She never used any other kind. And if she ever did need braces, I would get them for her. I am not worried, as long as she isn't walking around with it. I hate that. She is only 20 months right now. So I am not too worried. She does great with taking it away when she isn't going to bed.
I've never heard of this method before but it's definitely one I'm going to tuck away in the back of my mind when it's time to wean my son off his. He loves his pacifier.

Batman: Arkham Origins is a new brawler for the iOS and Android that's loosely based off of the console game of the same name. Gameplaywise, it can best be described as a successor to Injustice: Gods Among Us, as the fighting mechanics are very similar, but you'll be facing a whole host of different villains in this game that are more unique to the Batman franchise. Upgrade points are the primary currency in the game, while Waynetech points are the premium currency. Read on to find out how to get more of both!
Winning battles is the main known way to get upgrade points, and it's your key way, but there are ways to do it more efficiently. If you are seemingly stuck, go back to easier, earlier battles and fight them to grind for upgrade points. They might not pay out as much, but losing any battle pays out exactly zero upgrade points, so any winnable battle will help you.
Keep upgrading your skills and your two stances, and especially your special attacks, so that you have the capability to win tougher battles, and thus earn more upgrade points. Upgrade your batsuits too, because even though they are expensive, they will give you HUGE increases in attack power and health, as well as attack reduction.
When playing the rated battles (one out of five stars), you will get more upgrade points based on how many stars you earn. Earn more stars by using more specials, blocking more normal and enraged attacks, and keeping your power level high.

He blows and strokes Robin and Vin, and they reciprocate by both sucking his cock at once. Jorges finally gets what he's needed all day when he gets a very rigid rod slammed deep inside his hungry ass, and Vin and Robin take turns pounding his hole!

text: A Brazilian Documentary on the impact of the future World Cup in the poor communities living in favelas in Rio de Janeiro. The government aim is the revamp and gentrification of the area, expelling the poor from the beautiful hills where the favelas stand and the selling of luxury homes for the rich. We started filming this documentary independently over one year ago with very little funding, which we obtained by throwing a party. The crew waived their salary and we received equipment free of charge. The filming crew is aiming at producing a longer and more detailed version.
