Tar Heels Top Seminoles, Now Face Rival Duke
May 20, 2010
Sidebar: Interstate Rivals Clash
By Andy Johnston ATHENS, Ga.-
Special to NCAA.com
By Andy Johnston
ATHENS, Ga.-Brian Kalbas could see the scores start to swing in Florida State's favor, but he insists he wasn't concerned.
Kalbas' confidence remained firm as second-seeded North Carolina held on to defeat the Seminoles 4-1 on Thursday and reach the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division I women's tennis championships at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.
Shinann Featherston clinched the match at No. 6 singles to help the Tar Heels (29-4) knock off No. 15 seed Florida State (16-11) for the third time in the past month and reach the quarters for only the third time in program history.
The women's tournament resumed with eight matches, which continued late Thursday night.
"It's difficult to beat a team three times in your conference," Kalbas said. "Florida State played really well. This was just a tremendous match. We feel fortunate to advance and we're excited to get to the quarterfinals. It was a great match for us."
North Carolina won the regular-season match 4-0 on April 18 and turned around six days later for another 4-0 victory in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Kalbas shuffled his lineup for Thursday's match, flopping Sophie Grabinski and Gina Suarez-Malaguti at Nos. 4-5 singles and moving every doubles team to a different slot.
The strategy seemed to work as the Tar Heels won the doubles point and quickly took a 3-0 lead as Suarez-Malaguti defeated Federica Suess 6-3, 6-2 at No. 5 and Grabinski knocked off Amy Sargeant 6-4, 6-3 at No. 4.
"We had a lineup we submitted that we felt was the best lineup at this point in time," Kalbas said.
Florida State began to gain momentum at first singles as Lauren McCreless won a second set tiebreaker against Sanaz Marand and Francesca Segarelli forced a third set against Jelena Durisic at No. 3.
Those two matches were in the third sets when Featherston, a sophomore from Rockaway Park, N.Y., defeated Jessica Sucupira 7-6 (5), 6-2.
"(Segarelli) and I were in the tiebreakers at the same time, and Fran was leading in hers, and hearing the crowd for her, really helped me get the momentum going in my match," McCreless said. "I thought, 'I have to get into the third set for my team here, because it could change everything.' For us to come back, it could have been a whole different story."
Instead, Featherston won to end the Seminoles' first trip to the Round of 16.
"It was a heck of a match," Florida State coach Jennifer Hyde said. "This team, all season, has been fighters. One thing you can't coach is soul, and this team has it. I've been blessed to be able to work with them this year. This was a tight one and they've got no reason to hang their heads. It's been a really positive season at Florida State."
Even if Featherston's match had continued, Kalbas remained sure either Marand or Durisic would have won at either Nos. 1 or 3.
"Sanaz has been such a great competitor for us," he said. "She's clinched a lot of big matches for us, so even though she lost that second set, I knew she could finish it off in the third. It was just going to take a little more time."
Fresh off playing one ACC opponent, the Tar Heels will turn their attention to another when they meet rival Duke (22-7) in the quarterfinals at 2 p.m. (EDT) Saturday. It will be the third meeting this year between the defending national champion Blue Devils, who defeated UCLA 4-2 on Thursday.
"We've had a tremendous season and this tournament is wide open," Kalbas said. "Being the No. 2 seed, we don't feel any more pressure than anybody else. It's anybody's tournament and we're capable of going all the way."

Mahopac's own Steven Santini, a former star at John F. Kennedy Catholic in Somers, was recalled Sunday by the New Jersey Devils of the NHL, after veteran and former Ranger John Moore was placed on injured reserve with a concussion.
Santini, a 21-year-old defenseman and Bronxville native, played three seasons for Boston College, and was a second-round pick in 2013. He made his NHL debut last season and was on the Devils' opening day roster, but was reassigned to Albany, where he missed time recovering from an upper body injury.
Santini scored his first NHL point Monday night, assisting on a goal in a 3-0 win over Boston.

The following is an email from Friends of Sherrod Brown:
"When it comes to voters' knowledge about the deep-pocketed donors who are trying to influence their vote, the 2014 election cycle is on track to be the darkest election in recent history. And that's saying a lot, as each of the last three elections has shattered dark money records set in the preceding cycle." -- Robert Maguire, OpenSecrets.org, 4/30/14
Dear [redacted],
"Dark money" refers to funds spent on elections and provided by people who remain anonymous thanks to a loophole in the tax code. In the 2012 cycle, we saw $265 million in "dark money" -- and thanks to the Koch brothers and Karl Rove, we're likely to see much more than that this time around.
Yes, the majority of all this dark money is directed by three people -- Charles and David Koch, and Karl Rove. Seriously, when you read about this stuff, you almost can't believe that just three people wield such incredible influence over our politics.
But Rove and the Kochs do wield that outsized influence, and it's up to us to fight back. Please chip in $5 or more to help his stay strong against outside spending.
All those political ads airing around the country? The vast majority of them aren't coming from campaigns, but rather from outside groups.
According to the Wesleyan Media Project, a group that tracks political ads, "The 2014 campaigns are currently dominated by interest group advertising. And the bulk of the interest group money is coming from dark money groups who don't disclose their donors."
Grassroots campaigns like ours need to fight back against dark money -- give $5, $10, or whatever makes sense for you.
Thank you.

A huge Saturday night....not perhaps like some of those in the long distant past but a big Saturday night nonetheless. I actually went to bed at 8.30 pm, read a little bit of 'The master Quilter' (in an attempt to tell myself that it wasn't a good 2 hours too soon to be going to bed) and then had a few hours sleep before getting up for the supposed 11.30 pm start to the cricket. Of course it had to rain in Barbados and the game didn't start until 2.15 am! Except they couldn't tell me that until 2 am so I just had to stay up and wait. I stitched a few sock sacks for the fete, gave myself a facial, pinned and tied my pink floral skirt quilt and drank a few coffees and a lot of hot chocolate...and twisties...and mettwust...and leftover easter eggs!
Most of the game was well worth the staying up for, slightly dodgy end courtesy of more wet weather and a few decisions by the organizers. One part of the second innings was a real first for me, it was the first time I have ever seen cricket continue in the rain. Cricket is a little precious about bad light and rain, but I suppose if someone was throwing a hard ball at me at 100 miles and hour I would prefer to be able to see it as well! Anyway, my boys won and I watched us win in the night 4 years ago and 8 years ago so I have seen the cricketing hat-trick.

I finished Sandra Dallas' Persian Pickle club the other day, it is now being devoured by my friend Robyn. I am well into the first Elm Creek quilts book and really enjoying it.
I love this quote, "Time, space and lots of friends-that's what you need to be a successful quilter." p.118. So true I reckon,but also often hard to achieve, you need space to think big! The time factor is also important...in 2 weeks I will have plenty (well that is the theory!) But the friends thing is really the most important, it's not much fun making quilts if you have no-one to see them and no-one to talk about them with. The internet is great for those of us who can't always catch up with other quilters weekly. YAY and gratitudes for the 'net!....and friends here and not here ....and cricket....and sewing spots no matter how big......and crazy kids...and caring husbands....and a drop of something alcoholic on occasion ...and even half an inch of rain. Have a great day!

100th post...and I spent the egg money!!
A nice, organisational and congratulatory moment here. As some regular readers will know, I save my egg money and I had let slip a few months ago that it had amassed the grand total of $299! Well, with recent chook sales I finally reached the milestone that allowed me to buy the side table I wanted in order to get my bedroom on track and here it is! (complete with one drawer out I just notice!) I haven't quite filled all the drawers yet but by the stuff that still needs a home on the floor it will not take long! (better a hoarder than a borrower be! Isn't that how it goes?)
DH still thinks I am crazy that I didn't just go out and buy it 18 months ago when I wanted it, but then I wouldn't love it like this and be quite proud of it, it would just be furniture.
Tidied up the "book floor" as well after this came, borrowed some of the wooden shelving cubes and solved the problem of keeping all the stuff I like nice and close. See the magazines next to the pen and little sticky notes so I can mark the good quilt articles so they are easy to find for later. I have not yet come to the point where I rip and file the good bits but with my growing mag. collection I may get to that. I also love the chook. He plays the chicken dance until you put your hands around his neck then he makes a choking sound. Depends on your idea of humour... my daughter's class gave it to me for my birthday for doing storytime!
Now, back to being my 100th post. What fun that has been. My posting started at about the same time as my daughter got sick with her giardia and associated tummy problems and the blofgging interaction has been lovely for some added contact and to keep me motivated to record my quilting. As a result, and as a Thank you, I am going to borrow from Darlene's idea and everyone who comments prior to my next post will go into the draw for a prize or two......
Have a great day, Tracey

A quiet weekend.
Thank goodness!
Just a quick post to say a big thank you for all the comments and emails about my little family drama. DS has been great and is lapping up all the attention and checking I've told everyone about his head while DD only smiled a day and a half later when my sister bought her kids up for a visit and wont let anyone mention the blood.
We are off for a Paeds check-up with her tomorrow and a hectic few weeks leading up to this School market so the posts may be a little light on, as will the quilting time.
Photo today is of a "quilt for a cure" quilt our group made a few years ago. We all made blocks for a "Quilter's companion" challenge and then offered to put one of the quilts together. This is our blocks and a few others they sent back. You can't see the detail but Robyn and Chris handquilted the cancer ribbon shape in the big cream blocks.
Have a great day, Tracey

I am having a Biblical moment today, want to hear why?
At 8.30 am this morning I was very happy with life, after having children home or things on all day, every day for weeks, I had a free day-no obligations, no cooking, house was almost clean, just have my coffee, make a few organisational calls, read my emails and life was my own.........and then the phone rings.....and just like that man in the Bible who planned for the great life he was going to have after building his bigger barn, I got my rude awakening that reminded me my plans are not my own.
Ds had managed to damage himself BEFORE EVEN GETTING TO SCHOOL! He hit his head on a metal part of the School bus, had bled majorly, vomitted, and was at School now miserable. No shower, pull on presentable clothes and off I go. After an hour in Emergency his over half inch hole in his head was superglued back together so we went back to School for Show and Tell. There discovered his sister was a little more than upset, it was more like shock; pale, shivering, teary with a headache, she felt he was going to die and there was so much blood and he only wanted her....and needless to say they are both lying on my couch watching Wonder woman right now and therein went the day! You have to laugh I suppose, so I am including these 2 little fellows to finish up and off to watch him for concussion!

Justifying my existence here at present, with a little cooking for the shearers. Well, they aren't really shearing just cleaning up the sheep prior to lambing. I thought their real title may put you off, are you ready, promise not to laugh....they are crutching! And don't worry if you are saying "What the!" even, local town girls think that job sounds rather odd. Very necessary however, as you would appreciate if you were a little lamb who wanted to be able to instantly located some nice, clean, easily accessible warm milk after birth.
Are we up with how this is done, because they are back again Monday and I could steal some photos. Shearing is a far bigger operation and I cook for 10 -14 . This is only four, but it's 9.30 am hot morning tea, midday, 2 course hot meal and 3 pm sandwiches, cake and biscuits. The short breaks are called "smoko" from the old days when that was the chance for the shearers to get a smoke.
Needless to say between that and everything else I am only getting 15 minute increments in my studio so the bigger projects are on hold. Here are a few of the little things that I have finished.
Little purses from the Moda plastic-coated fabric. These are gifts but i am trying to decide what price I could put on them for stalls, they are lined but not top-stitched this time. Top stitching the plastic stuff with a zip gives me a headache!
The little bag was another play, I make these up in a few minutes with scraps and my op shop pre-quilted bedspreads for the lining. If anyone isn't sure how to do these and wants info. just drop a line. They go to all the little girls I know and will be on our market stall for School. Hard to price them as well.
Speaking of bags, I thought you may like to see some of the ones I have made for DD. Actually, I lie, she made the gingham stripy one when her and a few friends hed a sewing lesson day.
The little one at the front was part of last year's birthday present. My own design, it is round, quilted again with the pre-quilted bedspreads and opens out completely flat with pockets and elastic sections inside for storing Polly Pocket dolls and all their associated belongings. (Guess who got sick of finding bits of Polly pocket stuff everywhere!) being a bag girl myself I would secretly like one of these! But isn't that pretty much how it works with our daughters?-we try to give them everything that we want..and then have to learn to deal with the fact that they have their own needs/wants and lives. Our favourite book will not always be theirs, they will not always want to sew...........
I can now here calves and chooks calling for their brunch-does it ever end! Have a great day, Tracey

The second way to do it only requres good points on two sides and may be more appealing.
I love these blocks so much and have carted them around everywhere showing everyone the decorated blocks and the range of colours. I am hoping to have it up and hanging in my studio very soon.
ps, you will notice I am 4 blocks short, these are my own that were returned (I didn't put them in the pic) and I am happy to swap if anyone is interested. Connie is very keen to come in on this and see Cynthia's blog as well for details. (Post addition-I have just tried to use this link to Cynthia and it does all the right things but wont display her blog, is that the same for everyone? What have I done wrong? Cynthia http://aussiequilter.blogspot.com/
Last photo is of the babies convincing me that they are too cute to be put in the cubby to sleep!

A taste of farm life.
We only get this great autumn light shining up our tree tunnel-like driveway for 2 weeks a year. My children know I love this light and come screaming in to tell me. We were almost too late tonight but I managed to snap a few photos of the more willing models.
DN and DD at the cattle pit.DN playing in the dust.
I have received my blocks from the Siggy swap-it only takes one day when you are in the same state as the sended. They are fantastic. I had hoped to put them together this wekend but it isn't going to happen....

Thinking blogger nominations take some thought.
Okay, it is a few days since Anne at Quiltoholicker nominated me for the Thinking Blogger award and it is now my turn to nominate five more. (Of course Anne knows she is inspirational so doesn't need more accolades.)
What a difficult task for someone who wont even put her favourite links in her sidebar! (But very pleased to be tagged none the less.)
I will start by saying that I find everything about this blogging inspirational. It has meant that I can stay constantly motivated to produce quilts, improve my techniques and generally stay on task in many more ways than just those involving patchwork. I also see it as being like a diary entry that the fairies have written feedback on in magical pen when you wake and check it in the morning-and who didn't ever hope that would happen? Writing about the things you do when no-one ever sees is rather flat to me. This is great - and to all of you who regularly receive comments from this elf at the bottom of the World , rather than the garden, you constantly inspire me!
So...onto nominations and some of these may have already been tagged, that doesn't change my intentions.
Dawn, who was the first main blog I began to read and I was so desperate to comment on her fabulous work i had to join blogger-these posts all come from there. Your work, detail and techniques all ispire me to sew.
Dawn in Korea, a great read from a fabulously upbeat, enthusiastic and fun Mum and quilter who lives a life as an army wife that is so far from my realm. Her quirky Korean pictures to share are always just what I want to see.
Tonya, who thinks way ouside the box with her quilting and inspires me to try completely different techniques. I also like the way she handles setbacks-marvellous.
Finn, who makes me excited about the prospect that my future years can be just as full and wonderful as the life I am living now.
Patty, who is so full of project lists and organized stash that i am driven to my studio in a fit of re-organizing after almost every read. I also like that she makes lists and gets things done-all while watching sport.
Apologies to everyone else, especially Libby, who always makes me think the joys of a simple life.
And I will close with my joys, hugging their new joys-Isabelle and Fluffy General. And I promise the cat lovers that they will not be going outside. (We found poor little Tabitha and think it was a snake.....) I also promise a cuter close up. Cheers, Tracey

Love these red floral stripes, look great for bags. I also am very short of blacks and think they can add so much to brights so I stocked up on the polka dots as well.
My Angel of Faithfulness guards these choices. -bet you can't figure out why she had to come here!
The stripe and floral closest are from Heather Bailey and I saw a link on Quilting in Cornfields to her site. Looks great real, I don't think it's around over here yet. the rest are all on sale stash builders. I love the harvest vegies. (Ooh, I linked and it worked!!!Well done to Kim who gives good instructions as well as apple recipes!)
Some cute little fabrics for the boy who thinks he is a rodeo rider and is hooked on Marty Robbins' Gunfighter ballads!And last but not least, an ebay purchase, 475+ strips of a 30's kids range. All pre-cut to 5 inches by 1.5 inches. Cost me about $15 Australian and for not having to cut it was worth it.
Any details on the fabric just drop me a line

And..the "Book of my year" award goes to:
-The Time traveller's wife.
Actually, probably the best read for the last few years if I am truthful. I did get a little sick of reading about abuse, heartbreak etc, etc a few years ago so I have stuck to good, known safe reads: the kind of reads that make me feel good at the finish rather than traumatised.
But I loved this book that I had seen on people's profiles and in book memes.
I was faced with my usual quandary over a good book. Do I just read and read until it is done, like devouring a pizza when you are starving...or do I lengthen out the joy, make it into a 3 course meal... with oysters kilpatrick or a big serve of Tapas to start? Decided to make it a 3 course meal as I wanted it to last but it's also a library book and even though I intend buying it to reread at my leisure-I really did need to get through it so there were a few post midnight sittings.
I read Harry Potter as the pizza because I am desperate to know what happens next. I then reread and enjoy it slowly but after any amount of years in between I am starving for the new course! Please don't let us lose another old friend Miss Rowling, I prefer my tears to be of joy!
I am thinking tonight about being tagged by Anne at Quiltoholic for blog of the day awards, I need to now choose another 5 which I am finding difficult as I'm not good at singling out. Thank you very much for the honour though, Anne and thanks to those who are teaching me to link, I need time at the computer to play which may come when the kids go back to school.
I will go now and sleep on my 5, Tracey

How do I enlarge a completed quilt?
I had a little think about using something like this nice pre-quilted gold and just cutting the bindings off Dad's and finish it in the gold but I really have very little idea about how to go about it when it is already backed and tied. I am going to leave this open until about Friday the 13th so feel free to give suggestions until then.
Finally, while waiting for the cricket to come on I finished last weeks quilt that I made from playing with blocks. It has turned out very brightly.
Happy Quilting, Tracey

Worked on the pink floral quilt for an entire hour today, I would have finished but I sewed two rows together wrong and am now about to unpick.(Not rip!) So I suppose I had better stop putting it off. Adios, Tracey

An Easter post
I think the only card missing is the one from German, apparently that didn't get home or perhaps that is the only one they are managing to keep secret for Easter Sunday!

Study Medicine in Russia
For English-speaking students interested in practicing medicine, medical schools in Russia offer students an alternate path to achieving their dreams. Studying medicine in Russia does not usually require an entry examination, and the admissions process is usually less stressful than universities in other countries where a large number of students apply for a limited number of available places in various schools of medicine.
Medical programs in English
English language programs give students access to modern labs, state of the art hospitals and a degree that is recognized by groups such as the World Health Organization and UNESCO. Medical education in Russia is considered as one of the best in the world. I.M. Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy and Saint Petersburg State Medical Academy are two of the largest academic institutions in the country and they offer medical programs English.
Why study medicine in Russia?
- Easy student visa application process
- No entrance exams needed
- High quality of education and excellent academic standards
- Affordable medical study tuition fees and living expenses
- International accredited universities and recognised degrees
- Top notch facilities
- Medical degrees are recognized all over the world
- Simple application and admission procedure
- Possibility of studying in English
- Safe medical study environment
How much does it cost to study medicine in Russia?
With Russian government tuition subsidies and relatively low living expenses ($400 – $900 U.S. per month), medical students can complete a medical degree, learn a new language and/or explore Russia's culturally rich traditions for a fraction of the cost of programs elsewhere in the world.
Undergraduate admission requirements for medical school
For international students applying to medical school, students have to submit a request for a student visa to a local embassy of the Russian Federation. In addition, the student must have received passing grades (50%) in English, biology, chemistry and physics coursework. Students are also required to submit a high school diploma, valid passport, chest x-ray and negative HIV test results.
Application dates
The application deadline for students interested in English language medical programs is generally on or around the 15th of August of each year.
Tuition fees
Tuition fees may vary by university – the range is about $3,500 – $9,000 per year for a general medical degree.

New vaccines are the result of cooperation between the pharmaceuticals industry, enterprises in the clinical research and biotechnology sectors, universities and research institutes. A summary of a recent article by Juhani Eskola, Assistant Director General at THL, and Terhi Kilpi, Senior Medical Officer, published in Lääkärilehti (the Finnish Medical Journal).
Prevention of biological threats and promotion of a risk-free living environment are among the main duties of public authorities in securing the health and well-being of the general public. Vaccinations are one of the most effective tools available for this. Universities and public research institutes play a key role, with particular emphasis on their relationships with private enterprises engaged in vaccine development.
Development of a new vaccine starts when epidemiological research identifies a need to prevent an infection that forms a significant threat to population health. Microbiology, molecular biology and biochemistry are all involved in the work to create a suitable vaccine antigen, which is then developed into a product suited to mass production. The experimental vaccine is tested on cell culture models and in animal testing, before being tested in clinical trials comprising thousands of volunteers. The effectiveness and, particularly, the safety of vaccines are the subject of rigorous research during the entire development process of a new vaccine. The use of a new vaccine requires decisions that rely on expertise not only in population health, but in health care administration and health economics.
Many different kinds of expertise needed
No single enterprise or institute can possess all the many kinds of expertise required for the process of developing a new vaccine. The development of vaccines has always been a team effort, involving participation from public bodies and private enterprises alike.
The sector research institutes in charge of developing national vaccination programmes — in Finland, this is the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) — participate in the process in a number of ways, including the early stages of research. The institutes in question have microbial strains and a broad base of expertise in applied research with a view to developing and testing model vaccines. However, such sector research institutes play the most important role in the final stages of the process. They are responsible for establishing whether a new vaccine is suitable for inclusion in the national vaccination programme, its use for various special groups and its cost-effectiveness. They are also in charge of making a synthesis of the available information and submitting a proposal for a vaccination programme to the authorities that ultimately make decisions on the programme. In preparing a decision on a vaccination programme, it is important to consider any special features and needs in the population that may have an impact on the structure of a vaccination programme or the choice of vaccine.
The institute responsible must assess the potential impact of a new vaccine as part of a comprehensive vaccination programme. It must take into account the people to be vaccinated, but also the individuals around them who will not receive the vaccine, and strive to predict the future impact of a vaccination programme, perhaps for decades to come.
Since the effectiveness of vaccination programmes can vary considerably from one population to the next, expert institutes are required to possess in-depth knowledge of the characteristics of vaccines and of the effectiveness of vaccination programmes.
The product development plan and clinical trials strategy of a commercial manufacturer will only focus on the information necessary for obtaining commercial approval for the vaccine. They do not cover the information on public health and health economics that policy-makers need — at least not at the point when approval is granted.
When the sector research institutes that prepare vaccination programmes participate in the planning and implementation of vaccine research, they are able to ensure that questions that are important for public health and for the general public are included in the process.
THL's role in vaccine research
THL evaluates its participation in the light of two separate requirements. THL's primary task is to protect and promote the health of the population. As a special task included in this, THL is responsible for preparing a reform of the vaccination programme and for ensuring that recent developments in the field are taken into account in making decisions on the programme. Secondly, in accordance with decisions concerning the Government's innovation policy, public bodies are required to support effective service production in their areas of expertise, in a way that promotes cost-effectiveness and general well-being.
Collaboration with private enterprises is part of the THL's normal operations in many different forms: services subject to a fee, research collaboration, co-funded research in different spheres of operation and so on. In all areas, THL applies regulations and procedures that ensure that its expertise is independent of collaboration with private enterprises.
THL will only participate in co-funded research if the aims of the research serve THL's own aim, e.g. the creation of a knowledge base for a vaccination programme. In such a context, THL will also contribute to the funding of research. The enterprise that is involved in co-funded research is expected to make a funding contribution of its own, both to the direct research costs and to the overheads. THL does not strive for financial gain at the expense of funding partners, but on the other hand it does not spend resources on supporting private enterprises. THL's researchers do not receive any personal remuneration for co-funded research; the research is part of their normal work.
Open declaration of affiliations
From time to time, discussion has emerged on the affiliations that vaccine researchers and institutes developing vaccines may have with the vaccine industry. At times, it has even been suggested that such contacts and even collaboration in general may be suspect. However, collaboration is the best way of creating new vaccines for preventing widespread or dangerous diseases. Avoidance of collaboration may have an even more unfavourable impact on public health than it would on pharmaceutical companies' profits. In order to keep completely free of affiliations and contacts, it would be necessary for experts to work in total isolation. However, expertise is the result specifically of involvement in various forms of collaboration and of the interaction between the science community and public health policy makers.
In order to avoid inappropriate affiliations and to disperse any suspicions of such affiliations, transparency is essential in establishing collaboration, planning research and making funding arrangements. The provision of information and the background and terms of collaboration agreements must be transparent. This applies both to individual researchers and to entire institutes. In theory, this is a clear and simple proposition, but in practice, it is a more complex matter. The duty of researchers to report their ties and affiliations has been expanded to include their employers' contacts with private enterprises. This makes it understandably difficult to draw a line, since an institute such as THL has collaboration agreements with dozens of companies.
Every participant — academic researchers, biotechnology companies, major pharmaceutical companies, sector research institutes and the competent authorities — all have a part to play in collaboration, and it is important to provide a clear and open definition of the part they play. Without collaboration, vaccine development would not be possible today. It is essential that researchers at universities and sector research institutes participate in vaccine development in order to secure a high scientific standard and to ensure that public health aspects are taken into account.

This is part two of dealing with the dealing with a low milk supply series. Please see part one: Do you really have a low milk supply? for additional information.
*This article does not replace medical advice. Please consult a medical professional if you suspect your child is not getting enough to eat.
Most articles ignore combo feeding and supplementation because of the desire to encourage the mother to exclusively breastfeed. That is valid- there is the concern that the more one supplements, the less one will nurse, thus leading to a cycle that eventually ends the breastfeeding relationship (or the baby may develop a nipple preference). However, there are mothers (including yours truly) who combo feed successfully for months with a baby who still preferred nursing over the bottle and who eventually managed, especially with the introduction of solids, to move back onto breastmilk and no formula. In addition, instead of bottles, there are other ways of supplementing, especially with a younger baby, that doesn't lead to as much danger of harming the nursing relationship.
The number one rule is "Feed the Baby." If your baby has not lost a dangerous amount of weight, it is perfectly acceptable to continue to exclusively breastfeed while trying to increase your milk supply and to go in for regular weight checks to monitor progress. However, it is also acceptable to choose to supplement and/or combo feed. (It goes without saying that any feeding program is acceptable, whether combo feeding, formula feeding, or breastfeeding, regardless of reason. Just so we're clear).
How to combo feed or supplement
The difficult thing about combo feeding and supplementing is that there is no rule really on how to do it – really, finding a rhythm that works for you and your baby is really the ideal.
When it comes to terms, "combo feeding" and "supplementing" are generally interchangeable. If you want to make a distinction, usually supplementation refers to offering formula or pumped milk after some or all breastfeeding sessions whereas combo feeding refers to a program of doing formula for some feedings and breastfeeding for others. Combo feeding, then, would apply to working mothers who give their children formula for when they are in childcare as opposed to their pumped milk.
Therefore, in general, when we are talking about actions when facing a low milk supply, we are talking about supplementation – offering formula and/or pumped milk after a nursing session. However, in some cases, a mother with low milk supply will choose to replace a whole feeding with formula or saved milk. (I did the whole gamut of options, but for a while, my lowest milk supply was around 6pm. Some mothers would choose then to just give up that feeding and offer a bottle instead. I usually still attempted to nurse first in the interest of stimulating milk production, but the baby would down about 6-8oz of formula, so in effect he didn't really get any breastmilk around that time.)
For the interests of simplicity, I'm going to assume the combo feeding/supplementing is done with formula, not breastmilk. If you are pumping your own breastmilk to give to your baby while you are away for example, that's not really combo feeding in this sense. (Now, in my case, I had some pumped milk saved from when I had a good supply, so when I started supplementing, I burned through my pumped milk stash first). There's also the donor milk option, but it is less common. So, let's go with the assumption formula is in those bottles.
The slippery slope
Why do we say that there could be a slippery slope when it comes to combo feeding?
First, we have the supply issue. Every time you replace a nursing session with a bottle (and don't pump to make up for it), your breasts are getting the signal that milk production isn't needed at that time.
Second, formula often makes babies full for longer. Therefore, your baby may go longer in between feeds, which means you are nursing less often, even if you nurse first then formula feed.
Third, many babies may develop a preference for the bottle, as it will have a faster flow than the breast (and if the mother truly has a low supply or slow let-down, the baby will associate being full with the bottle as opposed to the breast.).
Fourth, breastfed babies often suck down a bottle even if they are not hungry. They are obligated to suck when a nipple goes into their mouth and their mouth fills up with milk.
Fifth, growth spurts complicate matters. If you are exclusively breastfeeding with a great supply, your baby will still act super-hungry during a growth spurt. The answer is to nurse, nurse, and nurse some more and your supply will catch up. For low-supply moms who are supplementing, it is much harder. A fussy baby means supplement more. Which means your supply isn't going to get 'trained' to catch up to the baby.
How to avoid these things as much as possible?
1.) Wait until the nursing relationship is established before combo feeding or supplementing.
Obviously, in some cases, one has to start supplementing for the baby's health long before nursing is established. But if you can hold on about 4-6 weeks, your ability to combo feed long-term will be much better.
2.) Nurse first before every feed. Pump after every feed. Pump if you miss a feed. Pump when you are feeling full and your baby doesn't want to nurse.
Nursing first helps avoid the slippery slope as you are still stimulating milk production (even if the baby isn't getting a lot at the breast). Emptying your breasts about every 3 hours or so will help maintain and possibly increase your supply.
If your milk supply is generally established, you can get away with leaving formula with the baby if you are away. But if you can, try to pump to make up for that session (even if you aren't getting much). Or, for pumping-haters like myself, nurse as soon as you get home, even if the baby isn't hungry (I always called this 'getting reacquainted with my baby' as soon as I got home).
I didn't pump at all and managed to maintain my nursing relationship, but to ensure you are successful, I would suggest pumping. (To be fair, in my case, I *did* hand express whenever possible. My body doesn't react well to a pump but did fairly well with hand expression).
Pumping and hand expression resources
3.) Offer the smallest amount of supplement possible
Okay, this was the most stressful part of supplementing for me. Assuming you are dealing with a baby who is losing weight or not gaining enough, you are trying to make him or her healthy again. BUT, you are also trying to maintain supply. In my daughter's case, I was told to give her as much as she would take. But she was in a much dire situation. We ended up giving up combo feeding in about two days and going exclusively to formula.
In my son's case, it was up to me. So I would only give my son about two ounces at a time. It was frustrating though because sometimes he would be fussy 30 minutes later. Was he hungry? Was I starving him? Who knew? Eventually I decided it wasn't worth the stress of wondering if he was still hungry, so I went to the 'give him as much as he would take' model. That meant that at times, he would get supplemented with 6 ounces of formula. I was convinced our nursing relationship was doomed. For many different reasons, it wasn't, and we continued nursing for months thereafter. As I mentioned before, the reason we went to formula had nothing to do with supply issues, and instead because I needed to go on non-breastfeeding safe medication.
So,try not to offer too much supplement, but if it stresses you out, do what works for you.
4.) Pay attention to growth spurts
Try to nurse more often during common growth spurt times. (ex: 7-10 days, 2-3 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 6 months and 9 months)
5.) Alternative delivery mechanisms
Instead of bottles, consider using a supplemental nursing system, a syringe, or a cup to supplement your baby. (This is especially applicable for the younger baby, before the nursing relationship is established.)
A supplemental nursing system allows you to supplement at the breast, thereby letting the baby suck and stimulate your milk production while he or she is getting formula/extra pumped milk.
There are two main brands of supplemental nursing systems. One is the Medela SNS. (and here is the starter kit, useful if you have a newborn in a hospital who needs supplementation just in the short term) The other is Lact-Aid.
Check out this good Amazon review for a comparison between the two. This review is helpful for those using the Medela SNS starter kit.
You can also make your own SNS. Here is one set of instructions. Google around to figure out what works for you.
6. Use the slowest nipple flow possible and Bottle feed the breastfed baby differently
The biggest thing here is to hold the bottle upright so the baby has to work more.
7. Encourage reverse cycling
Encourage the baby to nurse more when you have a higher milk supply and take less supplement when you have a lower milk supply. In my case, that meant nursing at night instead of encouraging night weaning. (This was easy. My son preferred nursing over bottles, so he naturally reverse cycled. The day I stopped nursing him at night and started offering him a bottle was the day he night weaned. It wasn't worth it for him to wake up for a bottle).
In terms of increasing milk supply, nursing or pumping between the hours of 12-3am generally helps increase one's supply anyway.
8. Breast compressions while nursing/pump right before nursing/work on latch and positioning while nursing
Kellymom has information on what to do if your baby develops a bottle preference while supplementing,and I used those techniques to avoid bottle preference as much as possible while I was combo feeding. For my baby,nursing upright made him happy (I would have to walk around the house while nursing him). Breast compressions also helped as it helped the milk let down faster. Most of the time, the reclined breastfeeding position helped him latch as it was a relaxed position (but as I had a slow let-down, sometimes it made it worse.).
Above all, do not force your baby to nurse. Seduce him to the breast.
Other experiences:This is a good blog post on another mother's experience with combo feeding. Sounds similar to my experience in trying to balance the "feed the baby" rule with the "maintain your supply" rule. Go to BabyCenter for some support from other moms.

Why more women in India give GMAT a skip
masters in finance, accountancy or an MBA, according to data shared exclusively with ET by Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), administrator of the GMAT test. The number of GMAT women test takers in India has risen by a mere 2% since 2009. In 2009, 76% male Indian citizens applied for the test compared with 24% women. In 2013, the figures stood at 74% males versus 26% women test takers.
In contrast, more women apply for the GMAT exam in China than men. Around 64% Chinese women citizens applied for the GMAT exam in 2013, compared to 36% males, according toGMAC.
Rohin Kapoor, senior manager, education practice at Deloitte, feels the skewed figures could be attributed to low female literacy rates, and low gross enrolment ratio for women in higher education. "As opposed to males, gross enrolment ratios for women in higher education are very low in India, and women pursuing higher education usually prefer streams like humanities and social sciences. China's single child policy, which can enable higher literacy and gross enrolment ratios for women, also tilts the scales in its favour," he says.
Around 71% Chinese women sent their scores to US schools in 2013 compared with 51% in India. India was the second most popular destination for schools for Indian women at 18% compared to Hong Kong at 10% for Chinese women.
"Our biggest growth story in recent years has been young women in China, who are applying for GMAT to pursue courses in masters of accountancy, masters
Rudner feels the lure for an MBA is also partly to blame for skewed statistics in favour of Chinese women. "In India, they do not realise that it can be atest for pursuing other masters programmes, besides an MBA," he adds.
Professor Sankarshan Basu, chairperson, career development services, IIM Bangalore, feels that China's single child policy has been the most significant enabler for aiding financial security of women graduates there. "Thanks to the single child policy, women could end up being the sole inheritors of wealth in China and may find it easier to fund their post graduate programmes.
GMAT is an exam undertaken by professionals with some years of work experience, and the societal pressures of marriage, motherhood that come for mid-level women professionals may forbid them from applying in India," he points out. Professor Basu also feels that lesser women opt to pursue professional courses in India, with the orientation being skewed in favour of courses like humanities and science.
The average age for females was around 25 for Indian citizens against about 22 in China. A critical factor cited for younger GMAT test takers in China was their financial ability to pay for such costs. Major funding in China came from contributions from parents and grandparents. Chinese women younger than 24 expected to finance more than half of their education with help from their parents compared to Indian women who expected their parents to fund 29% of the education. Indian women, on the other hand, expected to finance a major share of their education through loans, grants, fellowships, and scholarships.
Some 61% Chinese women felt applying for GMAT would increase job opportunities compared with 49% in India.
However, Indian women rated the exam and masters courses highly for a sense of personal satisfaction and achievement at 55% compared to 43% in China. 59% Indian women also considered it to be a platform for developing their leadership and managerial skills compared to 43% and 45% respectively for women in China.
VK Menon, director for admissions, financial aid and careers at ISB, says the Indian environment for entrance exams is different from China. "India has developed its own environment for exams which has numerous tests for selection across diverse streams.
Earlier, MBA was straight jacketed, but with institutions being open to other streams apart from engineering, there is a growing demand from corporates for women MBAs," he says.

Oh spring,
if you were but mortal,
or better yet, that I
was the May breeze,
you and I could make
such delicate love,
for I have long been
enamored with you.
Like loving fingers
through cascading hair,
I would weave magic
in your meadow grasses
and flowering trees.
I would move over your
greening landscapes
with a most ardent touch
and spread the intoxicating
fragrances of your
blossoms as a priceless
perfume for the only
one I could ever love.
I would caress your
billowing clouds, ferrying
them gently about, and
we would lie naked upon
their undulating waves
and allow the sun to warm us.
God, what a dreamer! What
a spell spring has cast.
Oh, if I were but the breeze.

Rose Delaney is a baby bounty hunter, rescuing children from fugitive ex-spouses. All she wants is to return a recovered child to its mother and get back to her regimented solitary life. But when a snow storm leaves her and baby Emmy stranded, Rose has no choice but to lean on the ruggedly handsome rescuer, who thinks the baby is hers. Holed up in their mountain resort-under-construction and unable to contact Emmy's mother, Rose's priority is hitting the road—even if Garrett's erotic touch entices her to ride out the storm.
Construction boss Garrett Galo loves his job, but he never imagined a perk like being snowbound during a whiteout with the sassy brunette he just rear-ended. He's learned to stay away from women who want a family, especially when they come with a kid in tow. When passionate nighttime encounters flare between them, Garrett begins to question what he'd risk to keep Rose.
This isn't the time or the place for romance—but will five days on a mountain make these loners reconsider giving in to love?
Her bounty hunter heart never wanted more...until him.
Inching the door open further, she poked her head in. Garrett's body silhouetted against the translucent shower door. The image of his chiseled, naked body seared through her mind. Her mouth went dry.
She crept inside and eased the door shut, body rigid as she watched his shadow move inside the shower. The fogged mirror hid her reflection as the soft mesh shorts slipped to ground, followed by her undies and T-shirt.
Garrett began humming, out of tune, something that sounded suspiciously like a children's song.
Rose grinned, excitement roiling beneath her skin. This not only was going to happen, it needed to happen. Her heart thumped in her chest as she reached for the shower door.
The door opened a few inches before Garrett's humming turned into a gasp. He whipped around and pulled aside the shower door, eyes wild.
She grinned up at him, loving the swirls of shock and appreciation in his eyes as he took her in.
"Can I join?"
His mouth hung open a moment, gaze sweeping over her naked body, lighting fires on her skin. He grabbed her around the waist and yanked her inside the shower, slamming the door shut behind her.
The water hit her body in a pleasingly warm rush. He pinned her to the shower wall with his hips. Her breath hitched.
"I don't even want to ask why you're naked in my bathroom," he said, kissing her neck, "and I don't even care. Fact is, you're here, and you're mine now."

Information sharing between controllers and blocks in Magento
Air Jordan 12 The Master Price
As we know, Magento is very powerful template system. The same thing we can say about the logic part. Magento generally consists of about 50 modules. There are module to checkout, customer management, CMS sites, etc. module consists of a few parts – in addition to design parts of it are: components, blocks, models and helpers. Component contains all the actions that happen when the module is used. If we http://www.my-eshop.tld/index.php/a/b/c url
It means that module must perform an action in C Controller b.
The blocks are responsible for the preparation of data for templates. Each template can be used, it must have to block. Sometimes blocks are simple, they can sometimes complicated. At least in some situations it is useful to move data from the controller, the block, we do not have to charge it several times in a query.
For that we use the opportunity that gives us Magento – The storage of data.
In our controller we store data in variable called $ data, we can save on it, as this register:
Mage:: register ('MyData', $ dat);
Then, in block file, you can use all that data again.
$ Data = Mage:: registry ('MyData');

text: Beautiful etched shamshir, 19th century. This kind of blade would not be much fun to carve due to it being wootz, but using resist/etch to create a bit of relief would be relatively easy and much more efficient. There are many documents showing etching of pattern welded steel in gun barrels and swords. From the old manuscripts about forging gun barrels from strips of steel and iron, the final steps before honing the bore involved soaking the barrel in a mild acid in a hole in the ground. There were many different formulas for etching solutions. A 1:1 mix of nitric acid and water will do a deep etch on hardened steel in a short time. 8:1 water/nitric acid will do a smoother etch over a longer period of time. The etch resist can be as simple as wax, but something thinner is desirable for painting on a pattern like this one.

Besides the white-washing of the more unsavory aspects of the Occupy Wall Street kids (including public masturbation in Madison, rape and sexual assault in NYC, and a guy caught on camera defecating on a NYPD patrol car), as well as the fact that the movement is more astro-turfed than their media sympathizers will acknowledge, the protesters' grievances and demands are still vague.
One chart related to the OWS's "cause" that I've seen on-line in various places concerns the non-story about the ratio of corporate executive's salaries to the salaries of average workers:
I saw that and thought a little research was called for and made my own chart in response:
As indicated, I got the statistics for the Global 500 Corporations and the Per Capita GDP from reliable sources(CNN/Forbes and the IMF, respectively), but I've never see a source for those CEO:Worker salary ratios. I wouldn't even know how to start finding that information. Does somebody compile average CEO salaries by country? That's a task for some slow day at the reference desk.

RIP Steve Jobs
"Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

How To Refinish Wood Floor
Before you refinish an old hardwood floor, you'll need to remove the old coats of varnish. Learn how to sand hardwood flooring using three types of sanders.
- sandpaper
- cloth
- floor drum sander
- wood finish
Step 1: Prepare the Room
Order of Work
The direction of sanding will depend on the floor's condition. If it is fairly flat, it may be possible simply to use the sander up and down the boards' grain. If the floor is uneven, or has a very thick coating of paint or varnish, start across the grain. Sanding at a right angle to boards may damage them, so sand at 45 degrees. Cross the room in one direction, then the other before finishing along the grain. Reduce the coarseness of the sandpaper as you progress, finishing with the finest grade.
Protecting Yourself and Your Home
Sanding is a very dusty, noisy and messy job. Wear protective clothing, including ear protectors and a respiratory mask. Cover and mask around doors to prevent dust from spreading throughout the house (image 1). Open all windows, so that you work in a well-ventilated room.
You need three sanders: a heavy-duty drum sander (a drum wrapped in sandpaper that rotates at high speed); a heavy-duty edging sander and a corner sander. Each requires sandpaper in a particular shape, which is available from the rental store. The paper is expensive and will tear if it is not correctly fitted. Make sure nails do not protrude from the floor. Unplug the sander before changing paper, and allow it to cool if any parts have heated up while in use.
Step 2: Prep the Floor
Nail down any loose floorboards (image 1).
Set the nail heads beneath the surface. Check the floor for protruding nail or screw heads. If any are sticking out, drive them below the surface (image 2).
The Drum Sander
With the sander unplugged, unscrew the retaining strip on the drum sander and feed a sheet of sandpaper underneath it (image 1).
Feed the sandpaper around the drum and secure the end under the retaining strip, aligning the cut sections with the retaining screws (image 2).
Check that the paper is taut and correctly positioned before you tighten the retaining screws (image 3).
Plug in the sander, tilt it backward so that the drum is raised off the floor, and start the machine (image 4).
Step 4: Using the Drum Sander
Lower the drum onto the floor and make the first diagonal run across the floor (image 1).
Sand the whole floor in one direction. Then change direction and make the other set of diagonal runs across the floor, at a right angle to the first runs (image 2).
Then change direction again, and run the drum sander across the floor following the direction of the grain (image 3).
Step 5: The Edging Sander
Ensure that the sander is unplugged, then use the bolt key supplied with the edging sander to undo the retaining bolt, and remove the old disc of sandpaper (image 1).
The key is often stored on a retaining clip on the underside of the sander. Position a new disc of sandpaper and retighten the retaining bolt to hold the disc securely in position. Ensure the retaining bolt head is well below the sandpaper surface level. Take a firm hold on the sander before starting it, and work around the edges of the room (image 2).
Step 6: The Corner Sander
To change the sandpaper on a corner sander, simply take hold of the old paper and tear it off. Align a new sheet of paper with the pad's face and press it into position (image 1).
Use the corner sander to deal with the room's corners, and to sand any awkward, otherwise inaccessible areas such as beneath a radiator (image 2).
Step 7: Finish the Floor
Sweep and then vacuum the floor to remove any debris not held by the sanders' dust bags, and wipe with a damp sponge (image 1).
If you find any rough areas, sand them by hand. Apply your chosen finish (image 2).
Two coats of water-based varnish can be applied in a day (it dries quickly), but some light hand-sanding is needed between coats.

This one goes out to all parents of toddlers everywhere (well at least whoever reads my blog anyway)…. HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU START POTTY TRAINING? The reason why I am asking is because my daughter is driving me crazy. Rewind the clock to roughly a week ago. My car was in the shop getting fixed so therefore we were all stranded at home on a rainy day. Gabby usually is up by 7:30 to go to daycare. Since I knew none of us were going anywhere I decided that I could sleep in for an hour or 2 at the most. Around 8:30 I woke up and went up for a shower. By the time I got dressed and went into her room it was about 9am. So to recap only an hour and a half later than what I normally wake her up. When I opened the door to her room I nearly vomited. She was covered from head to toe in poop. I'm really not exaggerating either. Imagine if you will poop all over her hands, arms, legs, feet, under her finger nails, hair, around her mouth (WTF???? I hope to god she did not eat shit)….I nearly died. I actually walked out of the room and went into Owen's room. I had to take a moment. I hoped that I really didn't see what I just saw, but when I went back in her room, reality was staring me in the face. I picked her up and plopped her right in the tub, clothes and diaper still on. I did not care at that point. I scrubbed her down until all of it was off her. The water was BROWN. I emptied the tub and refilled it and made her sit in it for about a half hour. Quite honestly I don't even think that was long enough, but since bleaching her skin was out of the question…it would have to do. My next move was to strip her bed down, I used a combination of Oust, Lysol, 409 and the vacuum to get everything cleaned up and smelling semi normal (although you could still faintly smell the poop). I put clean sheets on and everything was back to normal within a few hours. Now she has taken off her diaper before and peed on her sheets and it wasn't any big deal. Pee is MUCH easier to clean up then poop. As a matter of fact, she did that yesterday (take off her diaper and pee over everything). Now again today we had the poop incident. It wasn't as bad as last week, but it was still EXTREMELY DISGUSTING AND NAUSEATING. A little voice in the back of my head keeps telling me it is time to start potty training her. She seems to be giving off all of the right signals that she is ready, but I really don't know if I have any patience left in my body for this. I haven't had a decent night of sleep since way before I was pregnant, and Gabby just does not listen to me. This does not make for a good combination. So you can imagine my desperation. Please somebody…anybody….tell me how you got your kiddos potty trained. I need to know what works. Bribery? Extortion? I'm willing to try anything to avoid another surprise morning poop incident.

The million dollar pizza
About a month ago there was a pizza place near my house that burned down (Milestone Pizza). The circumstances around the fire were very suspicious….a week before the fire all of the tenants from the apartments above the restaurant moved out. The day before the fire the pizza place lost its licquor licence. Yeah, I'd say that's more than a little coincidental. Here's a link to the article on WNEP.com (pops in a new window) Clearly the fire was ruled arson. Big surprise there. The owners probably torched it for the insurance money or something. This is becoming somewhat of a normal practice here in NEPA. Anyway, before this was "Milestone Pizza" it was a number of other names. The business changed owners several times. My family literally lived 5 seconds away from here, it was within walking distance so we were exposed to the changes. A few years ago my parents, Rich and I were having a debate as to which pizza in Wilkes-Barre was the best. For some reason, that pizza place came up (which at one time was named CJ's). My Dad made a comment about it selling "The million dollar pizza". We had no idea what this was. The rumor was that supposedly if you ordered "the million dollar pizza" they would deliver a pizza with a bag of drugs stashed inside of it. I don't know how true this is, but it goes to show you how reputable all of the owners were. Pillars of society, I tell you. I'm glad to see this place burned down. If the million dollar pizza is any indicator the place was probably full of trouble. Mr. Drug Picketer would be proud.

In my boredom with being home 24×7 for the last 5 weeks I don't have much entertainment other then watching the standard Directv channels (I'm too po' to afford HBO or Skinemax), watching grass grow, and/or watching paint dry. Just kidding. I'm too lazy to paint. Anyway, my new form of entertainment is thinking of stuff to look up in Wikipedia and see if someone actually wrote an article about it. As you may or may not know, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia written and maintained entirely by its users and is free to use for all.
Here are just a few of my favorites:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_sex_location
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Meme
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fark
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeadOn
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha_ha_guy
Who am I kidding, I have no life. However, if you have any funny wikipedia pages you'd like me to check out, by all means post them.
No more babies
Let me just state first and foremost that I hate the entire medical profession. This post will probably filled to the brim of TMI girl things (too much information) but I'm highly pissed off and need to rant. About 2-3 months ago at one of my doctors appointments my Ob-gyn and I briefly discussed birth control options for after I had Owen. I told her I'd like to get my tubes tied and just be done with the baby making. I cannot afford, nor want anymore kids. Apparently if you want to have a tubal ligation and are under the age of 30 it is the doctor's job to talk you out of it. Why? I do not know. Most of them are in the business to make money and are notorious for unecessary procedures. Anyway she said "ok", but in a way that sounded more to the effect of "HELL FUCKING NO WAY ARE WE DOING THIS". She told me I'd need to sign a waiver, and that normally they do not recommend tubal ligations for someone "so young". Then proceded to say "what if you won the lottery tomorrow?" and kept putting these scenarios in my head of reasons why I would not want to get the tubal. No really. I am pretty damn sure I am done with having kids thankyouverymuch. I don't care if I was the last woman on earth and the human race depended on me to start procreating. There is no way I want more kids. Period. And this is my decision. Since Rich agrees with me, I figured there would be no problem in getting this procedure done. WRONG. Suddenly the doctor went from "ok" to all out refusing to do this to me. Listen, if for some reason I lose my mind and want another child (first, smack the shit out of me to bring me to my senses) I can adopt one. I'm sure there are plenty of kids already out there that need a good home. Anyway, the tubal is covered under my health insurance. The doctor suggested I do the IUD because it is a 5 year form of birth control that requires no remembering to take pills. Also, it supposedly is cheaper than the pill (WRONG! I did the math) The IUD is not covered under insurance and is 700 dollars out of pocket. 200 of which can be broken out into payments, the 500 is needed up front. Right. Let me just write a rubber check for you. The doctor initially told me there would be no problems with a payment plan, but now all of the sudden I need 500 dollars up front. So there goes that idea. I could try to go back on the pill, but it was giving me MIGRAINES. I mean these were blinding disabling headaches that made me want to cry. The only thing that felt good during one of those was going to bed or banging my head off of something. There is no amount of tylenol or advil that you could take that would make it go away. For a person with 2 kids and a job crunching numbers at a PC all day, I cannot afford to get one of these headaches. They take me out of commission. I don't know what else there is left to try. It has to be affordable and covered under my insurance. I was thinking about asking about that birth control patch thing, but seen recently now that its causing blood clots and other problems on TV. That's no good I just do not understand why they can't give me the damn tubal, I could have gotten it when I was in for my c section and it would have been covered under insurance and there wouldn't be an issue. Its my body, why can't I just do what I want to do?????? I found a quote that's rather fitting for this entire fiasco: Kelly Osbourne – "My teeth, my car, my vagina, my business." Anyway, I hope there's a solution otherwise I'll probably never do "it" again. And at this point that's fine with me.

the practical nursing program in nashville is the worse in the state of tennessee. so many students have dropped out and complained about the instructor, ms. manners, who calls the students dumb and tries to sabotage their grades to set them up for failure while discouraging them daily saying that they could repeat the class. there are two lpn groups in the 2nd trimester, one taught by ms. lawrence and one taught by ms. manners. majority of the students in ms. lawrence's class are passing because she is a better teacher and cares about the students. majority of the students in ms. manners class have either already dropped out or are failing with overall grades between 70% - 80%, where grades below 80% are failing grades. this is not fair to students who all have the same study material, who spend their money and invest their time into a failing system with unqualified instructors.

For patients with diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, if LDL cholesterol is ≥70 mg/dL on maximally tolerated statin dose, consider adding additional LDL-lowering therapy (such as ezetimibe or PCSK9 inhibitor) after evaluating the potential for further atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk reduction, drug-specific adverse effects, and patient preferences. Ezetimibe may be preferred due to lower cost. A
Statin therapy is contraindicated in pregnancy. B
Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased prevalence of lipid abnormalities, contributing to their high risk of ASCVD. Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated the beneficial effects of statin therapy on ASCVD outcomes in subjects with and without CHD (
Betsey Johnson Lenox v3UTLJ3e
). Subgroup analyses of patients with diabetes in larger trials ( David TateMagnetic RSOxd
– 58 ) and trials in patients with diabetes ( Naot Kona Ankle Boot Womens AiU8Ska
, ASICS GELNimbus 19 Running Sneaker SJMzD
) showed significant primary and secondary prevention of ASCVD events and CHD death in patients with diabetes. Meta-analyses, including data from over 18,000 patients with diabetes from 14 randomized trials of statin therapy (mean follow-up 4.3 years), demonstrate a 9% proportional reduction in all-cause mortality and 13% reduction in vascular mortality for each mmol/L (39 mg/dL) reduction in LDL cholesterol ( 61 ).
Accordingly, statins are the drugs of choice for LDL cholesterol lowering and cardioprotection.

shows the two statin dosing intensities that are recommended for use in clinical practice: high-intensity statin therapy will achieve approximately a 50% reduction in LDL cholesterol, and moderate-intensity statin regimens achieve 30–50% reductions in LDL cholesterol. Low-dose statin therapy is generally not recommended in patients with diabetes but is sometimes the only dose of statin that a patient can tolerate. For patients who do not tolerate the intended intensity of statin, the maximally tolerated statin dose should be used.
Recommendations for statin and combination treatment in adults with diabetes
As in those without diabetes, absolute reductions in ASCVD outcomes (CHD death and nonfatal MI) are greatest in people with high baseline ASCVD risk (known ASCVD and/or very high LDL cholesterol levels), but the overall benefits of statin therapy in people with diabetes at moderate or even low risk for ASCVD are convincing (

Saunton Golf Club West Course Review - Some highly memorable holes played over distinctive rolling terrain, through and around striking dunes

Significant Changes
None, but significant changes during winter 16/17
Saunton Golf Club West Course Review
In 1935 the members at Saunton decided they required a second course, so Herbert Fowler was asked to submit a design.
The new course was built, but when the Second World War started in 1939 it was occupied by the military and used for training.
The West course was re-designed by Frank Pennink, but it didn't re-open until 1973. In the late 1980s all of the greens were re-laid and 30 new bunkers added.
This is an undulating links with many of the holes set between the dunes. Cross-ditches, grassy mounds and hollows, clever bunkering and raised greens combine to produce an excellent challenge.
It's a course demanding a good strategic approach and accurate ball-striking, particularly when the fairways become firm and fast through the summer.
This is a real thinker's track with some tricky dogleg holes to negotiate and a fine selection of par 3s, four of the five measuring over 190 yards.
Some tees are raised to offer good views of the surrounding countryside, while a number of greens are set into the dunes, adding to the visual appeal of the layout.
Saunton is a friendly and welcoming club, and the clubhouse has been recently refurbished, which is a comfortable and stylish location for a post-round debrief.
