Interactive discussion of NASA Mars mission hosted by JMU Planetarium
Attendees of the broadcast, which is free and open to the public, will be able to ask questions to the engineers and scientists from the National Institute of Aerospace who worked on the project.
MAVEN, a 5,410- pound spacecraft, is scheduled to launch at 1:28 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida and will be the first mission to look at the upper atmosphere of Mars. The data and analysis could educate scientists on the history of climate change on Mars as well as its liquid water and planetary habitability.
"The MAVEN mission is a significant step toward unraveling the planetary puzzle about Mars' past and present environments," said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. "The knowledge we gain will build on past and current missions examining Mars and will help inform future missions to send humans to Mars."
The craft will launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 rocket on a 10-month journey to Mars. After arriving at Mars in September 2014, MAVEN will settle into an elliptical orbit. The mission will take approximately one Earth year to complete.
Doors to Room 1101 will be open at 11:30 a.m. and seats are first come, first seated.

Hello everyone!
We had a great work party this weekend! The sun was warm and made the earth and plants smell sooo wonderful. Jeff W., Dana D. and I were able to make a great start for our neighbor on Washington to install her raised beds. .......Kimberly, a jounalist student from WWU came and talked with us about the idea of neighborhood organizing and garden parties. ...... Jeff made a good point when we talked about garden work parties and timing. He suggested that we also consider Tuesday evenings, as weekends are often busy for folks. The idea is for a get together around 5pm or so.., then for the host to provide a main dish around 6 or 6:30. ....... Peace! Danah

It's a boy for Simon Helberg.
The Big Bang Theory star and wife Jocelyn Towne welcomed son Wilder Towne Helberg on Wednesday, April 23, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.
The new addition joins big sister Adeline, 2, at home.
"She loves him and wants to hold him, but he's too big, so she just holds his head and rocks him and sings him songs," Towne, 37, joked on The Talk on June 12.
Helberg and Towne announced the pregnancy in January at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, when she stepped onto the red carpet with a visible bump.
"Yes, my wife is [pregnant] — I can't take all the credit," the actor, 33, joked at the time.
The couple recently collaborated on I Am I, a film which Towne wrote, directed, starred in and executive produced, while her husband also executive produced and appeared.

A previous version of this story cited annual earnings estimates for Alcoa rather than fourth-quarter estimates. The story has been corrected.
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Sharply scaled-back forecasts for tech and financial results have flattened the outlook for the fourth-quarter earnings season, the next likely catalyst for stocks after a policy-clogged few months.
Analysts have cut their forecasts by a little more than 10% for tech and financials over the three-month period that ended in December, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
The only larger reduction by analysts was in the materials sector, with estimates off by 14.4% from early October. Tech and financial companies, however, are more heavily weighted on the S&P 500 Index SPX, +0.01% than resource stocks.
Declining PC sales and their effect on traditional chip makers, along with the popularity of tablets and smartphones, are putting pressure on the tech sector, while financial firms are still struggling with declining brokerage businesses and the costs of shoring up reserve funds, Silverblatt said.
The big picture, however, isn't as grim as those more conservative outlooks imply. Thanks to a combination of good cash flow and low debt levels, S&P 500 companies have a shot at setting a new all-time high for quarterly earnings.
"We're talking potentially making a new record," said Silverblatt. "These companies have found a way to find a way."
How companies fared last quarter — when the possibility of steep tax hikes and spending cuts made some executives reluctant to plan and spend — may determine whether stocks are able to extend a strong start to the year. The S&P 500 is up 4.4% this week, on track for its biggest weekly gain in more than a year. Read more on stocks.
In the materials sector, Alcoa Inc. AA, +0.46% is scheduled to kick off fourth-quarter earnings season Tuesday after the market closes. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect earnings of 6 cents a share, compared with the 7 cents a share they forecast at the end of September.
Monsanto Co. US:MON is scheduled to report on Tuesday. Analysts expect earnings of 36 cents a share, compared with the 33 cents a share consensus at the end of September.
While no large-cap tech companies are set to report next week, financials will be represented next Friday with Wells Fargo & Co. WFC, -0.19% reporting. Analysts expect earnings of 89 cents a share, a penny higher than they expected three months ago.
The fourth quarter also looks to be a better earnings season than the third quarter, when earnings for the S&P 500 were down slightly year-over-year, breaking an 11-quarter streak of gains.
According to data from S&P Dow Jones Indices, the fourth-quarter operating earnings estimate for the S&P 500 has fallen to $25.29 a share from $26.87 a share over the past three months. That's an expected 6.6% improvement from the year-ago quarter's operating earnings of $23.73 a share rather than a 13.2% one.
Plus, operating earnings of $25.29 is within spitting distance of the all-time high of $25.43 logged in the second quarter of 2012.
Even as global sales have slowed and margins have shrunk, Silverblatt said that most companies are in good shape with good cash flow, cash reserves, low debt, and low debt maintenance.
Tech warnings pile up
FactSet also noted that tech, financials, and materials were the three largest sectors leading declines in expected earnings growth for the fourth quarter. Analysts polled by FactSet expect 2.4% earnings growth for the S&P 500, down from 9.2% forecast growth at the end of September.
Tech companies also have put out the highest percentage of negative outlooks for the fourth quarter, according to John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet.
Out of 32 tech companies, 29, or 91%, have issued an earnings outlook that falls below the Wall Street consensus, compared with a five-year tech company average of 56%.
That's compared with the 71% negative rate from 110 companies issuing outlooks in the S&P 500, above the five-year average of 61%.
Two other S&P 500 companies are scheduled to report earnings next week: Apollo Group Inc. US:APOL on Tuesday and Constellation Brands Inc. STZ, -1.95% on Wednesday.

I use a nylon hop bag for pellets. Without it, you have a lot of straining to do.
5 gallon paint straining bags from the hardware store work great too.Paul
A lot of folks don't move wort from a primary fermenter to a secondary. But if you do, my impression is that it doesn't much matter how much trub (hops, etc.) get into your primary.

I would transfer and add that bigs5068 has no idea what he's talking about. I wrote out a long post explaining why he has no idea what he's talking about, but rest assured: he doesn't.The key question for you is where you want to practice. If you want to practice in the area where you are living now, you should probably stay. If you want to practice in the southwest (mostly Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico, with an outside shot at Los Angeles), then transfer.
It is pretty funny that someone who hasn't even taken the LSAT yet or attended one day of law school seems to know everything about the legal profession.
It is pretty funny that someone who hasn't even taken the LSAT yet or attended one day of law school seems to know everything about the legal profession. Since she goes on the internet with literally no experience even less than me a second year law student her posts just attack people. Maybe while putting the LSAT off she figured out how the whole system works, but as a general rule of thumb don't listen to anybody that has not even taken the LSAT.
However, if you want to live on the east coast after graduation then transferring to Arizona is probably not worth it. Arizona is a regional school more or less that could very easily become tier 2 by the time you graduate because the formula makes no sense. Look back at previous rankings and you will see that schools jump or down 20-30 spots any given year.
In my opinion when ELITE schools are not in the equation location and cost are the most important considerations.
but if you went to Arizona law school and showed up in New York, L.A, etc nobody would really care about it.

Judging from the last thoughts of Tomoya (if I did this, it should not have happened, etc...), we are in for a very rough ride. I am guessing he is engaging on a path that is more self-destructive.

Great. Then just as he hits rock bottom, Ushio will do something Nagisa-like and he'll have an epiphany that in a way Nagisa never did leave him and he'll want to live again. DANG IT! SO LAME! What happened to my show about a couple becoming a family!?!?!

Oh, and now that I've slightly gotten over my initial state of being a total emotional wreck, I'll point out that the animation in the Illusionary World-scenes looked considerably worse than usual in this episode...

I've shed tears for quite a few anime in the past but this is probably the most ever for me. Not only did I shed tears, I actually had the lip quiver going....I may have even made a "puu" sound ......
I saw it coming even though I have never read spoilers about this game, but now it looks like we are going to get a slap across the face with the irony-stick as Tomoya now becomes like his father. Hopefully Ushio inherits Nagisa's natural kindness and brings Tomoya back from the brink.
I don't blame Tomoya for his sadness, if I ever had a person like Nagisa and then lost her I'd probably be pretty devastated too. Might even consider joining her on the other side if I were him. But considering the sacrifice Nagisa made in order to bring Ushio into this world, Tomoya better not even consider it, he has a duty to raise Ushio well in response to her sacrifice.
Anyway, really well done episode that I wish was never ever made. I want the Super-happy-ending dammit. Or I'd at least settle for the Scooby-Doo ending or something... just not this.

Gah. I probably retyped this maybe 3 times for the places I posted and provided it for. One of the more difficult things I've had to type in... well a long time...
The White Darkness.
Classic symbolism, the direct comparison of two opposing words intending for it to mean the same thing. Honestly if I never played the game I probably would not have understood what it reall means. White darkness could easily mean so many different things.
But for the case of this particular moment of human suffering, I can but imagine the icy cold snow. It can kill humans in minutes, it covers life and makes it barren, it shapes the land by force and will. To some, a harbinger of joy. To others, of doom. The snow that envelopes the earth and robs it of its life and warmth. It reminds of a blank white slate of beginning, or should I say, erases everything back into a blank white slate.
A white blanketing sheet, terrifying in its almost magestic beauty that hides death underneath.
Both the real and illusionary world are slowly being covered by the snow. The robot hastily builds their flying machine as the girl in the ended world weakens daily. Escape is the only means of salvation for both, if either were to find the happiness that had always eluded them.
"There could be other worlds out there"
Maybe I'm getting jaded too fast and too young, but I miss gatherings like this. Old friends who have moved in separate ways yet have a single common place where they can be together again. Gathering together I assume near the end of Nagisa's last trimester, they ponder just how far their lives have gone at that point. They question their travels they have gone, but as for the presumably still single ones go, wonder if the Okazaki's have gone farther than they have.
And as the occassion goes forward, we are then treated to a simplified discussion on String Theory. There have always been times where I wondered if the writers of this tale had theoretical physics in mind, once considering the soundness of some of the ideas it had in comparison to beliefs in multiple dimenshions. Perhaps Key had something going on during production, but at the end we never really see the science of it all, perhaps just the humanity.
What are these worlds, exactly? A game vet will answer with his own interpretation, but this is at the heart of this tale of love, loss, and redemption. To say more may be a sin, and I assume KyotoAni knows well enough to provide this information.
"Maybe I've come to hate this place..."
Despair is surely a powerful and all-encompassing feeling. It feeds on fear, insecurities, doubts and its ilk. As the steel frames of the hospital rise, the father and the grandfather share their thoughts on the event that creeps ever closer to their already tormented lives. Tomoya still feels the curse of the city that seems to want to torment him. In a city that gave him nothing but sadness and loneliness and he found just one beacon of light in this white darkness. A light that was slowly fading away.
Did he feel hatred because the town was punishing Nagisa? Did he feel hatred that Nagisa was being punished because of him? I really don't know the answer to that. Despite all his monologues and statements, it has never been clearly said. All we know is that this town where he grew up in has perhaps never been anything but cruel to him. And now in his most dire of hours, it seeks to punish him again.
Not just him, but also the one most precious to him.
"Please... let me rest for a little bit..."
And so it begins...
Everyone who has ever played the game has been afraid of this moment. The central event of Clannad occurring in a tiny apartment, in the middle of a spiteful snowstorm, between a man, a woman, and a child. Their child.
I have to admit it now. Rarely do I see that an adaptation can surpass its original material in sheer delivery and execution, but this is one of those times. I have to admit that having been through this exact scene before in a different format, I thought I wouldn't be affected as I was the first time. Boy was I farking wrong. I needed a hand towel, just like before.
For some people, going into labor could be considered a not-so-rare occurrence. Then again, not all pregnant bodies can handle the stress of labor when it isn't the time yet, and again I doubt Nagisa was one of them.
But labor is a finicky master. If it comes, it comes. The painful writhing of a mother delivering her first born is a difficult sight to behold even though I have seen it before. In Nagisa's case... god almighty... the mere fact of the dangers involved and the possible outcomes it may have is a dagger of much sharper make.
Husbands can only but watch in their own agony, knowing too well that there really isn't a damn thing they can do about it. All they can do is clasp her hand, tightly, and be there for her. For their child.
All one can do is pray and hope for their safety.
Cue excessive bawwing here.
What is 18:57? Based on AQS' sub, you'll notice that Nagisa open her mouth in her struggle to speak, but we don't hear anything audibly. Tomoya asked her a question beforehand and she tries to answer, but all we get is the 18th minute, 57th second. Nagisa speaks a word neither the watcher nor Tomoya could here.
This may have essentially been... the last words that Nagisa said. A word nobody was able to hear.
This, for me, is the moment I will always remember for this episode.
Final words, spoken, yet unheard. Nobody knows what she said, and that's what makes it all the more painful....
"This is our daughter, Ushio"
The infamous monologue. Freaking heart wrenching as it was, even more so that it is spoken.
Hopes for the future as they both had wished. How they'd try to raise their child, how she'd become a crybaby like her mom. How they'd be there for her first day in school. So many wishes, so many dreams.
Is this the end of such a dream?
"You said we'd always be together..."
The hand goes limp. Looking at the scene, I can tell myself that her skin had suddenly become pale. Tomoya struggles to hold her hand, but her hand no longer holds his. The hand is lifeless. He tries to make her feel Ushio's face, but again the hand falls to the floor, lifeless, empty, barren.
He can only but remember the days he spent with the one most precious to him, all the way from the very recent to the very past.
The proposal of marriage. The moving out into an apartment. Her graduation day. His graduation day. The times spent with friends and family. The moment he declared his love for her. The time spent rebuilding the drama club. The day they ate lunch in the school grounds.
All the way to the day they met... at the bottom of that hill... one April morning...
"Do you like this school...?"
It is that day again. The day they met, on the bottom of that hill, to the blossoming cherry trees. Only this time, he does not answer her.
What then would it have been like? What would it have been like if they never met? Never spoke? What would it have been like if these two never knew each other? Would Nagisa have survived? Would she have lived without pain? Would she have been able to live a full life, not dying in the middle of childbirth? Would she have found greater happiness?
As Tomoya thinks, Nagisa passes by him, down the hill and away from school. He does not speak. He only watches her walk away. Into the white darkness.
Reality would beckon for Tomoya again. Ushio is now in his arms, on the futon the lifeless body of the one most precious to him. He must now, again, live his life.
A life without Nagisa.
Good Lord. Maybe I need to see a therapist at some point.

People don't care. They just wanted a black president. Period.
You're right, they have no one to blame but themselves when taxes skyrocket and the military becomes downsized, leaving us vulnerable to attacks.
They are actually happy that they have put this country in danger.

Amen brother, all of these important facts the media seem to leave out because most Americans are by far more worried about money than anyother thing. If it wasn't for the greedy whites vote we would in no way have a black president. Poverty crime and murder was kept out of this election because our cares are far from those issues. Take a look at the stock market right now and see were all your money is going white America!

Most are too young to remember the Jimmy "peanut head" Carter days. 18% mortgage rates, double digit inflation, high unemployment, and every military event a disasterous debacle.3
I see the status quo for the TAX-O-CRATS contining under this new administration. The Change MORE TAXES on the working family.
Also amazing that Virginian's intentionally voted for a Senator, who as Governor raised taxes highest on Virginian's than any Republican Governor ever.

You do know that some people didn't vote for Barrack because his is black? Just like I know some voted for him because he is. Some of us have to be "man" enough to admitt that they actually thought Barrack plan was good or somewhat better then McCain's but because he was black they didn't vote for him.

McCain ran a sh**ty campaign. Even when people at the rallies tried to tell him that we are tired of this country going socialist, he shut them up! When will the Republican party stop running these old farts just because they think they're rewarding them? I knew from the beginning he was just too old and too old looking to ever be considered a serious contender for President. And his constant smiling and pumping of arms was really off-putting. He just didn't care about US!

I have an American flag in the back yard and one in the front of my house. I have already taken down the one in front, and when my husband comes home from work I'm going to demand that he take down the one in back. Michelle may be proud of her country, but at this point, I certainly am not!

It's hard to get a positive message out when every media outlet except for Fox News is out to discredit you.If this election has taught us anything it is that journalistic integrity is the newest in a long list of oxymorons.The media is a bias liberial machine bent on pushing it's owner agenda on us.And the other is that P.T. Barnum was way off when he said that one was born every minute it's more like every second.

I am truly amazed how EASILY Mc Cain supporters state that they are "Not Proud of America"
You people that state that are phonies. Big FN Phonies.
These are the same clowns that have the Flags Up. Complain on Talk Radio day and night. Quickly label everyone else unAmerican.
But one election doesn't go your way. America is broken.
You people know NOTHING about fighting, or what it truly is to be an American. I'm glad this election exposed you people for the True Fake Phonies you really are.

Do you really think the people you overheard talking was serious? I have heard people joke about that same thing...it's a joke. I am SURE you didn't hear the whole conversation. Please don't go there. Also ther are some blacks who didn't vote because they didnt like either men, there are some blacks who voted for McCain. There are some people who thought it was two of the lesser evil and voted for McCain becaue he was white. So again dot go there.

I'm grateful that an African-American has become president-elect. One less issue to conflict Americans.
Barack's politics, his leftist supporters and his anti-2nd Amendment stance concern me most.
Financially I do not believe he will be any different than any other politician. They all view the public trough as their own to use/abuse.
One other great concern is how the newsmedia has impacted most on this election. Strange how the "Fairness Doctrine" only applies to talk radio 'ey?

Tuition and fees are subject to change each year.
2018-2019 Financial Aid Handbook
Law School Tuition Policy – May 20, 2009
Tuition for all programs is published during the spring semester for the upcoming fall and the following year's spring semester and summer school, and shall be subject to the following:
- No students, whether full-time or part-time, may earn a JD degree from Washington University School of Law until they have paid the equivalent of six semesters of full-time tuition at the regular full-time semester rate. Students entering as second-year transfers need to pay the equivalent of just four semesters of full-time tuition. For joint-degree students, the semester-tuition minimum is five; for LLM students, it is two. Students will be charged the full semester rate for their last regularly scheduled semester even if they require less than the full time class load to graduate. Eight hours is full the time load for LLM in U.S. Law students and twelve hours is the full time load for all other programs. Effective September 1, 2009, summer school or other special-program tuition does not get credited towards the semester-tuition minimum for any degree student. The semester-tuition amounts indicated above are intended as a minimum, not a maximum. Thus, students who pay the minimum semester-tuition rate for their degree but fail to earn sufficient credits to graduate on time are still required to pay for any additional credits they need to complete their degree beyond the semesters for which they have already paid.
- Students who take 12 or more hours (8 or more for LLM in U.S. Law) in the fall or spring semester will pay the current regular published semester tuition. Subject to meeting the tuition requirements set out in the previous paragraph, students enrolled in fewer hours per semester will pay the published hourly tuition rate. Part-time LLM in U.S. Law students taking 7 or fewer hours pay a greater hourly rate than all other programs since only 20 total hours are required for the degree.
- All individuals taking classes for credit or audit will pay the published full-time or part-time tuition rate. One exception to this policy is that JD, MLS, LLM, and JSD Alumni will be allowed to audit one class for free. Alumni who have audited one class at any time following graduation will be required to pay the full hourly tuition rate if they wish to audit another class. Also, the free audit is not available while they are enrolled in a subsequent degree program.
- Full-time JD Students, who have paid 6 semesters of full tuition, and LLM students, who have paid for two semesters, but do not have the required credits to graduate for unforeseen reasons beyond their control may petition to take the number of hours to graduate at reduced tuition. (Joint JD degree students could petition after paying for 5 full semesters. Transfer JD students could petition after paying for 4 semesters, provided they received transfer credit equivalent to the normal Washington University Law 1L course load.) Under normal circumstances request for reduced tuition will only be granted if the student had paid tuition and received no credit due to authorized leaves of absence. Any petition for reduced tuition will be submitted to the Associate Dean of Administration.
- JSD students pay two years' full tuition and a continuing semester fee thereafter. During their first year, JSD students may earn an LL.M., or if they already have earned an LL.M. at another law school, they may audit or take for credit up to 12 hours in each of their first two semesters. In subsequent semesters they will pay the standard hourly tuition rate for all classes they audit or take for credit. Normally students will not be charged the continuation fee and tuition in the same semester. The continuing fee is published each year. The continuing student fee for 2015-2016 is $2,500, for 2016-17 is $3,000, and will increase with the rate of tuition in subsequent years.
- Foreign graduates engaged in post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT), may retain access to the law school and their computer accounts by paying the continuing student fee noted above for the period July though December and twice the semester fee for the period July through June. If at this time a student is paying tuition to audit one or more classes after one free audit, the continuation fee will be waived for each semester the student is paying tuition.
- Distinguished Visiting Scholars are invited guests of the School of Law and pay no fees. These scholars are clearly distinct from our foreign visiting scholar program where participants are charged a fee. The Distinguished Visiting Scholars are administered by Dean's office. The paying visiting scholars are administered by the International program.
Tuition Refund
Students considering withdrawing from school are encouraged to consult with Associate Dean Elizabeth Walsh. To withdraw, a student should provide written notification to the Registrar's and Financial Aid Office and obtain a written approval from Associate Dean Walsh. Students who withdraw after a school term is underway will ordinarily receive a tuition refund based on the last day of class attendance as follows:
Within 1st week of classes…………………………………………………….100%
Within 2nd week of classes……………………………………………………. 80%
Within 3rd or 4th week………………………………………………………….. 60%
After 4th week & before end of 8th week……………………………............…40%
There is no refund after the eighth week of the semester.
Financial Aid
The School of Law offers numerous scholarship awards thanks to the generosity of our alumni and friends of the University. Scholarships are awarded based on merit and other designated qualifications and are guaranteed for the three years of law school. They are not contingent on maintaining a particular rank in class or cumulative GPA. Every applicant is automatically reviewed for scholarship consideration.
The School of Law's Financial Aid Committee administers all forms of financial assistance available through Washington University. The sources of aid are the School of Law's own scholarship funds, funds under the Perkins Loan program, the Stafford Loan program and the Grad PLUS Loan program.
The School of Law makes every effort to meet the minimum financial needs of each enrolled student. Consistent with the policy of most professional schools, we assume that you will bear the primary cost burden of your educational expenses. Therefore, long-term loans are the primary source of financial assistance.
To apply for loans, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Washington University Application for Financial Aid.
The FAFSA requires approximately 10 working days to issue the need analysis to the school. It is your responsibility to secure financial aid forms and to meet all deadlines.
To file your FAFSA online, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov - The FAFSA code for Washington University is 002520.
The Law School application for financial aid can be completed online.
Additional Sources of Financial Aid
The School of Law has compiled a list of scholarships and loans available to law school students. These sources are possible alternatives to the funding available through Washington University. Since none of these financial aid sources are associated with Washington University, we cannot guarantee the existence or availability of the scholarships and loans included in this list. For more information on the scholarships and loans listed, please contact the applicable organizations. We also encourage you to do some research on your own by contacting associations in your city or state, employers or organizations with which you or your family may have ties. Any outside aid you receive, no matter the amount, will help reduce the amount of loans you might otherwise need to borrow.
Click here to view the list of scholarships and loans.
The School of Law makes admission decisions without regard to any request for financial aid. We do not, however, award loans and scholarships until after we have admitted an applicant.
If you have any questions about tuition and financial aid at Washington University School of Law, please call (314) 935-4605 or email email@example.com

United reflect on life with Glazers
Sir Alex Ferguson's assertion that the Glazers have been good for Manchester United looks questionable after Monday's defeat
In a phrase which sounds authoritative but radiates helplessness, the Premier League declares itself "ownership neutral" meaning it has no preference for any structure on which England's great football clubs have come to be orchestrated. So the Manchester derby, which could decide the league's destiny in its 20th season, was among its myriad themes a contest between one club, City, whose owner has invested £1bn, and the other, United, the Glazers have drained of £500m.
Margins are fine, City's victory was only 1-0, they lead by just goal difference, two games remain and United, as Roberto Mancini continues to insist, could still win it. Yet Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan's squad of world-class players assembled for Mancini, faced a United of veterans and promising youngsters who suddenly looked the product of the Glazers' taking culture.
The eyewatering £500m has been paid out of Old Trafford, from money forked out by fans in increased ticket prices, and TV and commercial income, to pay bankers, lawyers and accountants black holes of interest, fees and one-off charges. It has poured out in just seven years from the Glazers borrowing £525m to take over the greatest of clubs, then making the club liable to service their borrowings.
Sir Alex Ferguson has maintained success in that period, winning the Premier League four times and the Champions League, and the manager has confounded the fans protesting against the Glazers by repeatedly singing their praises. David Gill, United's chief executive, part of the board which opposed the Glazers' hostile bid in 2005, has afterwards said the takeover was restructured and pronounced himself happy with the debt burden.
The Glazer family's original plan was to register the famous Man United in the low-tax US state of Nevada and one day make money for themselves by selling it or floating it on some stock market. They always knew they needed United to remain successful to achieve financial gain, and did always budget, along with the oceans of interest they would drain from the club, to provide Ferguson with £25m or so a season to replenish his squad.
They have been true to that strategy, and last summer Ferguson spent more than for a long time: £18.9m on David de Gea, £16.5m on Phil Jones, who played uneasily at right-back in the derby, and £17m for Ashley Young, brought on as a late substitute. It is difficult to pin a diminution of the manager's transfer horizons on the Glazers' arrival; he has always been prepared to break transfer records on the best British talent, from Gary Pallister to Rio Ferdinand, then sought to sprinkle in class from overseas.
Some of his marquee purchases have not vindicated their cost, notably Juan Sebastián Verón and latterly Dimitar Berbatov, but Ruud van Nistelrooy did, and Cristiano Ronaldo, at £12m, proved unbeatable business. After Ronaldo left in July 2009 for £80m, the signings have seemed to become less ambitious. There was an acceptance that Ronaldo could not be replaced and United, for some reason, were not in a financial league to compete with the galácticos of Real Madrid or the pass masters of Barcelona who outclassed United in two Champions League finals.
To assess the impact which the Glazer takeover has had on the club, besides rising prices and the automatic scheme which forces season ticket holders to buy a seat at every cup match, it is always instructive to imagine United had the Americans never turned up in the first place. Flush with the largest turnover in the Premier League, with profits of £50m or £60m, paying relatively modest dividends as a plc compared to the Glazer leverage, it is difficult to imagine Ferguson being satisfied with the side he has. It is hard to think of him not aiming to build on Premier League dominance, and, while admirably continuing to promote young players, straining against Barcelona to become the best in Europe.
This season United were knocked out of the Champions League in the group stage, Athletic Bilbao wiped them out of the Europa League and now the Glazers' club need City to drop points in the Premier League.
When the "mind games" began a month ago, United's manager scoffed at Patrick Vieira, the City ambassador who had described as "desperate" Paul Scholes pulling the boots on again. Ferguson retorted that Mancini's re-acceptance of Carlos Tevez was more desperate. Yet there was a huge difference. Tevez, 28 and at the top of his game, has been reintroduced after a drawn out clash with Mancini. Scholes is 37 and came out of actual retirement for the central role of anchoring United's midfield. There he was overcome by the colossus of Yaya Touré, 28, a Champions League winner with Barcelona, signed by City with £24m of Sheikh Mansour's money, from a menu of choices requested by Mancini in 2010.
The Abu Dhabi "project," while sending City fans ecstatic on Monday, is, of course, widely disdained in football as the buying of success, contrary to the gradual building of a team from a club's own resources which Ferguson, for all United's money, has previously achieved prodigiously. Before Mancini can consider leaving the legacy he says he seeks, and a long-term passing of Manchester football power is contemplated, City must face Uefa's financial fair play from 2014, its aim to restrain such massive overspending even with an owner's subsidy.
That is for then. For now, United fans forking out for tickets may again begin to question forcefully the claim that £500m taken out of their club has made no difference, an argument which for seven long years has been an insult to their intelligence.

This track suggests a traditional tea ceremony in Japan, in company of Geishas, with the typical sound of Koto, the traditional string instrument from Japan. It's also suitable to zen meditation, yoga, or relaxing or, in general, to all situations or scenes that require an open and spiritual music. It can be cut in a lot of points, or used as a loop.

Shaheen honored by NH Coalition against Domestic and Sexual Violence
BEDFORD, N.H. (AP) � New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen has been honored for her work to support victims of sexual violence and to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.
Shaheen has been inducted into the Hall of the Fame of the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence.
The coalition's Maureen McDonald said Shaheen has been an integral part of its history through her work as governor and now as U.S. senator.
With Shaheen's support, the Senate passed a version of Violence Against Women Act in April that honored the bipartisan history of the legislation and included new protections for victims of same-sex relationships, for immigrant victims and for women on tribal lands.
Shaheen has called on the House of Representatives to approve the bill.

It's time for a belting
By Dee Grenert, Staff Writer
The ancient fax machine in the office rang, coughed, sputtered, groaned, whined, and finally churned out a most urgent news release, a duplicate of one received just days earlier.
This information sent from two local law enforcement agencies originated from the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. It sent a stern warning and promised to show no mercy to a most insidious brand of scofflaw, punctuating the opening sentence with the word, "beware."
What sinister group is the target of this promised crackdown? Murderers? Rapists? Meth manufacturers? Crack dealers? Horse thieves? Telephone solicitors?
Oh no, these havoc-wreaking renegades far outpace the aforementioned in sheer criminality and eeeeevil. I'll quote that opening line for full effect.
"Motorists who refuse to wear their seat belts – beware."
Why beware? The conclusion of the release spells out the consequences in no uncertain terms.
"'Special patrols will take place around the clock, and if law enforcement finds you on the road unbuckled at any time, you can expect to get a ticket. No excuses and no exceptions.'"
So there you go. Another Click It or Ticket campaign. All you horrible sons and daughters of perdition who still, after all these years, slide behind the wheel without tethering yourself to your seat, shame, shame, shame. Way to thumb your anarchist noses at all that makes America great. Why, you probably eat fuzzy little kittens, and hate apple pie and baseball.
Before those of you do-gooders work yourself into a froth about recklessness and the like, I nearly always wear my seat belt; the dang car dings at me if I don't.
Heck, I acknowledge the wisdom of buckling up, even though Bo and Luke Duke zipped around the dirt roads of Hazzard County sans restraint. In fact, I think Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane's hound, Flash, was the only one who regularly buckled up for safety in Hazzard County.
The Dukes of Hazzard notwithstanding, I think seat-belt usage, though a responsible act falls under the category of "my body, my choice." I despise laws instituted to protect me from myself. An unbelted driver poses no threat to anyone but him or herself. Nobody starts a brawl or embarks upon a drug-induced rampage because he neglected to use his seat belt. And thanks to effective education efforts, just about everyone understands the risks of not buckling up.
As much as I might like to fine people for foolishness, like watching soccer, rooting for the White Sox, or driving a Chevy Volt, I value a person's freedom to make their own choices without a visit from the police. I want our very fine officers throughout the community, state, and country free to pursue the real bad guys who threaten public safety, not some old guy who remembers cars without seat belts and still happens to tool around unbelted in his trusty old pickup.
The press release cites a seat-belt usage rate of 93.2 percent – as my boss said, "that's an A" – in the state of Indiana. But, it also notes "there remain a significant number of drivers who are at an increased risk of death or injury because they still fail to buckle up on a regular basis."
Increased risk of death? I consulted a pair of medical professionals – my mom and sister, registered nurses each – and both confirmed that the risk of death for each human – seat belted or not – is 100 percent. Or as Waylon Jennings, as part of the Old Dogs with Bobby Bare, Jerry Reed, and Mel Tillis, sang, "put seat belts in your car, you're still gonna die." To prove the point of the song, "Still Gonna Die" Waylon and Jerry, unfortunately, are both dead, neither because of lack of seat belts.
Anyway, I'll wear my seat belt much, much more often than not. Just please don't reach for my wallet on the rare occasion I don't.

Keaton Henson- Birthdays
Not seen any discussion of this.
Has anyone listened to it? Not seen a review of it on DIS either. Kronos is a surprsingly crushing track.
Also, did anyone see his museum tour last month? Caught him in Oxford, and the best description I could give was from the lad that went with me that it was "like watching a fading heart monitor"
really liked it, hasn't had the immediate impact on me that Dear did
but will need to give it another few spins. Haven't been able to catch him live yet, can't decide whether the 'like watching a fading heart monitor' description makes it sound amazing or terrible?!
I've only heard it a couple of times too. Really liked Dear... but this one hasn't connected with me as yet.
I really like it, especially the heavier, full band direction he goes for on a couple of tracks. Haven't caught him live yet but would like to.
Where is the love for this?
Crushingly beautiful songs, perfect production, that voice.
After a somewhat draining weekend this has reduced me to tears on numerous occasions this week.
haven't heard this album yet
but I've been listening to Dear... in recent weeks and it's pretty good. A bit samey and/or derivative at times (there's one song which sounds like a parody of a Bright Eyes song) but there are a handful of amazing songs on there, You Don't Know How Lucky You Are and Charon in particular.
I'd say it was better the Dear even
Though Small Hands is still my favorite song of his.
I'd never heard of this guy
but just listened to a few songs and now think I'm probably going to buy the album. So thanks for the tip oojimaflop. Is it worth getting the deluxe edition?
Deluxe has 13 songs, regular 10.


text: While You Were Gone is a romantic and inspiring piano song. This track will give you light emotions and inspire you to do successful projects and will be great addition for your work! Best employment for this song is to create motivating and inspiring presentations, slideshows, beautiful videos, wedding videos, product advertisements, YouTube videos, documentaries, blogs, TV and radio media products and many others!

Rum Review: Cubaney Ron Tesero Grand Reserve
Posted by Arctic Wolf on October 16, 2010
I have a friend in the Dominican Republic with a website called Rums of the Dominican Republic (Drums). His name is Pavol Kažimir. Pavol and I have exchanged emails a few times, and we met in Miami at Rum Renaissance where we seemed to hit it off with each other quite well. But, I was very surprised when he emailed me during the summer and asked me which bottle of Dominican Rum I would like to receive when his friend visited Edmonton. I stated a preference for something that maybe wasn't available in my locale, and Pavol promptly arranged for Oliver and Oliver to provide me a sample bottle for review.
The bottle that was chosen surprised me all the more, the Cubaney Ron Tesero Grand Reserve. A solera style with aged rum as old as 25 years in the blend. In fact, I do believe this may be the top of the line as far as Oliver and Oliver is concerned. If you have not heard of Oliver and Oliver, I should explain that they are an independent bottler of rum operating in the Dominican Republic. They buy barreled rum from major rum producers, and then age it using a solera aging system in the "Cuban" style.
I thank you Pavol for obtaining this sample for me, and lest I bore everyone; here is an excerpt from the review:
"…The rum carries a firm but soft sweetness forward, as well as a nice spiciness that coats the tongue and the sides of the mouth as the first sip is taken. I taste rich baking spices wrapped inside a deep dark brown leathery toffee and molasses…"
Here is a link to the full review:

Mazeroski: I'm proud to be 'defensive'
New Hall of Famer shares his thoughts Cooperstown, Clemente and that famous homer
Most baseball fans remember 2001 Hall of Fame inductee Bill Mazeroski as the hero of the 1960 World Series. His ninth-inning home run in Game 7 against the mighty New York Yankees was the first walk-off home run in series history and secured the Pirates' first World Championship in 35 years.
But in Pittsburgh, "Maz" is remembered as a local kid who went on to become the greatest fielding second baseman in the history of the game. While he was no slouch at the plate (138 home runs and 853 RBIs in spacious Forbes Field), he will be one of the few players to enter the hallowed halls of Cooperstown based on what he did with the leather. An eight-time Gold Glove winner, Mazeroski holds the record for most double plays in a season (161 in 1966) and most career double plays (1,706).
Glove finally fits for Maz >>
Mazeroski sat down with MLB.com's Ed Eagle to talk about his induction into the Hall of Fame, his defense, THE home run and his on-going relationship with the City of Pittsburgh.
This honor has been a long time coming in the eyes of just about everyone who has every played on the same field as you or watched you play. How does it feel for you now?
It's exciting. It's different. I didn't know for sure if it would ever happen. But when it did happen, I know the people around me and the people of Pittsburgh who said I belonged there for all this time were probably more happy than I was.
It was pretty exciting for me and I imagine that Pittsburgh was pretty hectic that day, too. It's a special feeling for everyone who felt that I belonged in the Hall of Fame, too, so that makes it extra special.
Can you talk a little bit about your background?
I grew up in the valley between Steubenville (Ohio) and Wheeling (West Virginia), on the Ohio side. First I played for Rush Run (Ohio). We had a baseball team there, it wasn't semi-pro, it was just a bunch of guys who had a team and played other little towns. They used to do that a lot in those days.
That's where I got started. (I moved on) to high school and semi-pro, and just playing pickup games down in the valley there.
How about your ascent through the Pirates' organization? It didn't take long. You were in the Major Leagues at 19.
I started in Williamsport, Class A. That's when they had Class A, B, C and D. So I started up pretty high for a 17-year-old kid in Class A, and there were a lot of older guys there. I played there for a half of a year and the next year they sent me to Hollywood, Calif., which was Triple-A. That was probably a little too quick. I played about a month there and they sent me back to Williamsport.
Then at Williamsport I played well. I hit .290-some, I was about third in the league in hitting, and the next year I went to Hollywood, did really good, and they brought me up in July to Pittsburgh.
Playing ball in Hollywood had to be an interesting experience for an 18- or 19-year-old kid.
It was an experience, all right. It was well over my head, seeing Jane Mansfield at games and all of those people you see in the movies. We were their favorite team. They always came out to watch us play. It was different.
Could you talk a little bit about the 1960 Pirates team? Even before the World Series you guys seemed like a team of destiny.
We had a great team. We had great pitching with (Vernon) Law, (Bob) Friend, (Harvey) Haddix, and (Wilmer "Vinegar Bend") Mizell. We had the best relief pitcher in baseball at that time with Elroy Face, and he saved a lot of games and had some great years.
We had a team, if it was the seventh inning or later and we were two or three runs down, it just felt like the game was now starting for us. We had that feeling that we were going to come back and beat somebody. The people playing against us almost knew it, too. Things would start to happen and we'd come back and win. We did that all throughout the year. We didn't have any slumps in that area. That paid off.
We had a good defensive club. We didn't have a lot of home run power, but we had good enough pitching to where we played the game, we hit and run, we moved the runners over, we did the little things in baseball that you did back in those days to win ball games. We just kept it up and knew we were going to win just about every game.
Then, of course, we have Game 7 of the 1960 World Series against the New York Yankees. You are 23-year-old who just hit the home run that every kid who has ever swung a bat dreams of hitting. Could you take us back to that moment and tell us how it changed your life?
I don't know if that one moment changed my life any. I just went to the plate thinking that I had to hit the ball hard somewhere. I wasn't trying to hit a home run; I was just going to hit the ball hard.
When I hit the ball, I hit it hard (and) I knew in my mind that Yogi (Berra) wasn't going to catch the ball. Yogi was playing left field. I said "I'm running hard and I'm running into second and I'm going to look up, (because) if he misplays it off the wall I'm going to get on third because there will be a lot (more) ways to score if I am on third than if I'm on second base."
But when I looked up it went over (the wall). I never showed emotions on the field but that time I had to, and I don't believe I touched the ground all the way from (second base) to home plate.
What was the reaction like in Pittsburgh after that?
The town went crazy. They went 30-some years without a pennant or a championship of any kind. I heard the paper was knee-deep (in the streets), and I went down the next day and it looked like they had one great party.
Did you get to enjoy any of it?
No, I didn't go downtown (after the game). We went to Schenley Park (behind Forbes Field) and sat in the park for awhile, my wife and I.
There wasn't a soul there. Everybody was downtown. I mean, from all around Pittsburgh. They all ran down to Pittsburgh when it happened and had one big party.
The best part about it was that there was nothing bad, no cars turned over, it was all good and everyone just had a good time eating, drinking, and whatever they do.
There was all this stuff happening and it was just nice to be in a quiet place for a while.
You are considered the greatest fielding second basemen in the history of the game. It must feel good to be a guy, though you could definitely swing the bat, who is going in more as a defensive standout.
That's right. I'm going in primarily defensively, and I feel more proud and honored doing it that way because there are very few defensive players in there, and if I'm one of them I've got to be one of the best and something special. So it's a great feeling to be going in on the defensive side.
Do you think the home run overshadowed your defense?
I don't think so, (not) once the stats were out there and it was brought to (the veteran committee's) attention what defense means how much it does to win ballgames.
I am known for the home run. You mention my name and it's the home run (people think of.) I think it kept my name out there, and once they learned about the defensive stats everything came together.
How about the 1971 team? You and Roberto Clemente provided veteran leadership on that club. How did that group compare to the 1960 team?
A lot of people have asked that. I haven't gotten into the comparison. I think (the 1971 team) had a little more power than (the 1960 team) did. The defense was about the same. I don't know if (the 1971 team) did the little things like (the 1960 team) did.
It was a pretty good team. I didn't play a lot that year. Dave Cash was playing a lot then. I just played a couple of weeks when he went to military reserve duty. He didn't get many days off.
The World Series was the greatest that year. Just to see Clemente show the people how he could play and what he had shown us for years. I played with him for 17 years, and to watch him play was just a great thrill. Watching him have the World Series that he had was very gratifying.
Do you enjoy your role working with the Pirates in Spring Training now?
I enjoy that. For two weeks it's fun to see how the guys still are. You get back into the old memories and see what they go through.
The camps are run a little different. They do a little more exercise and a little more conditioning than we used to do. We used to do a few jumping jacks and a few stretches and we were ready to go. Now it's planned-out conditioning, and they stay in shape year-round. We had to get a job and work in the winter and they come down ready to play.
It was fun to see that and see how things have changed over the years.
How about your relationship with the City of Pittsburgh? A lot of Pirates fans lobbied the Veterans Committee for your admission.
That's a great feeling, to know that you have a lot of support and people are writing letters and care enough about you to take the time to do that. That's really a fantastic feeling. They just go out there and do it on their own because they feel that it is right to do that. It was very nice of them. It's really impressive. That was really thoughtful.
What do you think is going to go through your mind as you step up to the podium to make your introduction speech?
That I don't know. That I wish I could tell you right now. It depends on the atmosphere. If the atmosphere is up and jovial I'll be able to talk. If it's a sad mood I've got big problems!

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Apr. 12, 2012) — Just two days after knocking off in-state foe Tennessee for the fifth straight time, the ETSU (16-15, 4-8 A-Sun) baseball team continues its four-game homestand when it welcomes USC Upstate (22-12, 7-5 A-Sun) to Thomas Stadium for an Atlantic Sun Conference series.
Friday's first pitch will begin at 7:05 p.m., Saturday's game is set for 2:05 p.m. and Sunday's series finale will begin at 1:05 p.m. Each game will be broadcasted live online at ETSUBucs.com with live stats also available.
The Bucs will send John Long (Anderson, S.C.) (5-3, 3.51 ERA) to the mound on Friday to face USC Upstate lefty David Roseboom (5-1, 2.40 ERA). Long is coming off an impressive performance in the series opener against North Florida last weekend in which he earned the win after tossing seven shutout innings.
Saturday's game will feature ETSU freshman righty Kuehl McEachern (Mt. Dora, Fla.) (0-0, 1.74 ERA), who will be making his first official start of the season, against Spartan southpaw Scott DeCecco (4-1, 3.11 ERA). McEachern earned the start against Appalachian State on April 3, where he tossed two scoreless innings before the game was washed out due to bad weather. McEachern has not given up a run since March 13.
In the series finale on Sunday, ETSU will throw sophomore righty Jake Long (Anderson, S.C.) (2-3, 2.26 ERA) against USC Upstate junior righty Brandon Lee (4-3, 2.81 ERA). Long earned the save out of the bullpen for the Bucs in the 4-3 victory over Tennessee on Wednesday night.
Kerry Doane (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) earned his first start on the mound this season and the junior gave up just two runs in a career-high 6.2 innings of work to lift the Bucs past Tennessee on Wednesday night at Thomas Stadium. Doane (3-1), who earned his first start since April 13, 2011 against Furman, got the win as he gave up seven hits, while striking out a career-high seven batters in an impressive outing.
Dylan Pratt (Johnson City, Tenn.) led the Bucs offensively as he finished 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI. Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.) and Andrew Green (Powell, Tenn.) were each 1-for-3 with an RBI for the Bucs. Derek Niesman (Wellington, Fla.) finished 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the leadoff spot.
The Spartans have been one of the most surprising teams in the league in 2012. They were picked last in the preseason polls, but the Spartans sat atop the A-Sun until getting swept by Belmont last weekend.
Tyler Miller leads a Spartan club that hits .283 as a team coming into the weekend. Miller boasts a .321 average with a two home runs and 13 RBI, while slugging a team-best .453. Tyler Cook (.317), Gaither Bumgardner (.309), Luke Weber (.308) and Greg Guers (.306) are each batting over .300 for the Spartans.
Much like ETSU, USC Upstate's strength has been on the mound this season. The Spartans own a 3.54 team ERA, which ranks fourth in the league. USC Upstate has only allowed a conference-low 12 home runs this season.
ETSU and USC Upstate have met 17 times throughout the years with the Bucs owning an 11-6 advantage in the series. ETSU has won nine straight in the series – dating back to 2008.

Toll-takers at the Golden Gate Bridge have less than five months left on the job as span officials plan to go to all-electronic tolling by February.
The bridge district's Board of Directors has already voted to eliminate the 32 toll-takers on the span and will convene Friday to adopt the all-electronic toll policy.
Golden Gate Bridge officials are eliminating toll-takers, among other steps, to help bail the district out of a $66 million budget shortfall over the next five years.
"It's where the industry is going, the technology is here, it's workable and doable," said Mary Currie, bridge district spokeswoman. "We anticipate seeing improvements in flow of traffic during our peak period of congestion." By phasing out toll collectors, part of the fabric of the bridge since it opened in 1937, the district will save roughly $19 million over eight years in salaries and benefits. A toll-taker's base annual salary starts at $48,672 and tops out at $54,080. It will cost $3.2 million, however, to get the system up and running.
Twelve of the collectors have already either retired, left the bridge district or have taken other jobs within the district. Another 20 toll-takers stand to lose their jobs, although seven have expressed interest in driving district buses.
Elsewhere in the United States and overseas, cashless tolling systems use video cameras like those already installed on the Golden Gate to capture the license plates of toll Advertisement violators. Under the planned new system, Fastrak will remain and bridge officials hope more people will sign up for it. Seventy percent of those who use the bridge during commute hours have Fastrak, which deducts tolls from a pre-paid account.
There also will be an account similar to Fastrak dubbed "pay-by-plate" that also deducts payments from a driver's account after the vehicle passes through the toll plaza. The bridge also will offer a one-time payment option that can be made up to 30 days before passing through the toll plaza.
There also will be retail outlets where bridge users can pay their toll in cash by providing their license plate numbers. Payments also will be accepted over the phone and online.
Those who do not do anything will be mailed a bill for the toll with a payment due in 21 days. After that time has elapsed they will be treated as toll violators and will be required to pay the toll and a $25 penalty. There will be no mechanism to accept cash payments at the bridge.
Only Fastrak users will pay a reduced $5 toll, all others will pay a $6.
"Fastrak is clearly the easiest way to go," Currie said.
Bridge officials expect some initial problems with the new system, in particular with people who visit the area and are unfamiliar with the tolling structure. They considered keeping one of the 11 toll booths open for cash transactions, but decided against it.
"The traffic would back up on the bridge from that one lane," said David Dick, a bridge official working on the all-electronic toll project.

text: Hello ladies, I have a question - hoping some might have some suggestions. My daughter is 4 weeks old, she's been having some mucous in her stool for about 3 weeks now - I cut out dairy approximately 2.5 weeks ago. 2 days ago I also stopped eating fish and wheat products, as there was no improvement in her stool. Since yesterday she started having a really watery and yellow stool, which looks like diarrhea to me, no mucous. She is gaining weight and seems like a happy baby with occasional fussiness, but no inconsolable crying etc. I also noticed that she started sleeping more soundly/longer yesterday. So I am assuming that it is either milk protein that's out of her system or she's allergic to fish/wheat and that's why mucous is gone. However I am concerned about the watery (very watery!) stool - does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this? The baby seems to be peeing the usual amount and hopefully is not dehydrated. I'm eating a very limited number of foods at this point - boiled chicken and beef, some wheat-free grains (brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, millet), baked apples and bananas. Is it possible that my diet is too limited and she's not getting enough nutrients due to this? Should I reintroduce some foods back little by little as I feel like this is a very wide range of items she's potentially allergic to. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Perhaps no island in the Caribbean offers more distinctive or easily accessible dive sites than Roatan. Anthony's Key Resort proudly offers a fleet of modern, custom-built dive boats, which is unrivaled anywhere in the Caribbean. Divers are comfortably and safely taken to dive sites located just a short ride away. The island's reefs and walls are teeming with colorful marine life and are ideally suited for novices and experts alike.
Coral grows thickly on walls that begin in crystalline waters as shallow as 10 feet deep and then drop to the purple depths of the Caribbean. Squadrons of eagle ray, schools of brightly colored tropical fish, the occasional meandering shark and eel gardens are just a few of the sites that delight divers. With water temperatures averaging 80 degrees or better, few currents and visibility ranging from 50 to 100 feet, Roatan is a favorite among visitors who prefer their diving colorful, thrilling and comfortable.

Test Your Baby-Safety Savvy
Three occasions when your baby may not be safe
- prev
- Next
- 1 of 4
A nap in the car is better than no nap at all, but experts caution against making car-napping a daily habit. Motion sleep, whether in a car, swing, or stroller, isn't as restorative as crib sleep because it doesn't allow for deep slumber. After falling asleep in the car, some babies will stay asleep while transferred from car seat to crib. If yours won't, try to keep driving, or park at home and pull out a magazine so that your baby gets at least a 45-minute nap.
You want your child to be cozy in her crib -- yet the official line from the American Academy of Pediatrics is to avoid blankets (due to suffocation risk) until your baby is 1 year old.
What you need to know: Some pediatricians give the okay for babies as young as 6 months. "A small, crib-size blanket is fine for a child who can lift her head and can push it off or crawl out from under it," says Dr. Roche.
Gumming that bagel seems to be all your teething baby wants to do -- but is it safe with so few teeth? Will she choke?
What you need to know: "By 9 months or a bit sooner, a baby is able to try all bready foods, as long as parents keep a close watch," says Jennifer Roche, M.D., a pediatrician in private group practice in Amherst, Mass. The number of teeth babies have really has no bearing on their ability to chew; gums are mighty strong on their own.

Why should boys have all the LEGO fun? Last year the 81-year-old toy company released LEGO Friends, specifically designed with girls in mind. A year in, the product is a rousing success, selling twice as well as expected, according to a statement from the company.
"We don't believe that building is an activity that should only be reserved for boys," says Michael McNally, the Brand Relations Director of LEGO Systems. So LEGO conducted four years of research with moms and girls around the world to see what kinds of toys girls are drawn to. Researchers were surprised to find that girls were less than excited about their traditional mini figure. "They quite simply said, 'It doesn't look like me and it doesn't look like my friends,'" says McNally. "Where the boys were sort of saying, 'It doesn't matter what the figure looks like, it's obviously me and I'm going on these adventures.'" Also, the girls were much more interested in playing with things that they could do with their friends in everyday life. "It was less about, 'We're blasting off to outer space and fighting alien insects as they try to take over outer space, and more about, 'Where's the place where we go to get milkshakes?'" says McNally. The result was Friends, a line of five main female characters that are designed to look more like human beings, with relateable accessories like parks, tree houses, pools, and playgrounds.
Plus: Best of the 2013 Toy Fair
The product launch has been a hit with kids and their parents. "A father was saying that he was thrilled to be able to connect with his daughter in the playroom around a LEGO experience because he had passion for it as a child, and now his daughter was showing interest in LEGO building in a way that she had never done before because of LEGO Friends."
LEGO is planning to introduce male characters to the Friends line this year. "The children who had tried LEGO Friends were saying, 'We love these characters, this one looks like me and this one is my friend.' And then they said, 'But we don't see any boys.'"
Does your daughter play with LEGOs? Leave a comment.
