Colic is one of the most distressing conditions otherwise 'healthy' infants present with. The sudden onset of prolonged crying can be frightening as well as upsetting for the parents, and inevitably by the time they seek professional advice many feel quite helpless. However, colic is one of the most common infant feeding problems in infancy1 with estimates suggesting that 5-20% of infants suffer1, depending on the definition used for colic.
There is little to suggest which babies will suffer from colic since it is not discriminatory – it appears to affect both sexes, all socio-economic groups and both breast and bottle-fed infants2. Those caring for a baby with colic, however, usually share one commonality – a desperate need to ease the symptoms as quickly as possible. This article reviews the latest information and research into the condition to help you make informed and effective recommendations.
Clarifying it is colic
For clinical purposes, colic is defined as 'repeated episodes of excessive and inconsolable crying in an infant that otherwise appears to be healthy and thriving'3. However, researchers tend to use the more specific Wessel Criteria4, whereby 'the child cries, for no obvious reason but with full force for more than 3 hours a day on 3 or more days a week, for a minimum of 3 weeks'.
The key signs to look out for are5-6:
- high-pitched crying which starts spontaneously and nothing the parent does seems to help
- crying which begins at approximately the same time each day, often in the afternoon or evening
- onset within weeks of birth, often continuing until around the age of 3 to 5 months
- the baby may draw their legs up when they cry
- the baby may clench their hands
- their face may look flushed
The child should otherwise appear healthy, with no other diagnostic symptoms such as7:
- abnormal urine
- diarrhoea or blood in the stools
- fever
- abnormal tympanic membrane
- signs of physical trauma
Potential causes
Despite extensive research, the cause of colic is undefined, and it is likely to be multifactorial. The following may be contributory factors:
Immature gut – Immature intestines have been found to be more permeable8and may allow large molecules such as cows' milk protein and/or lactose to pass through and be absorbed rather than broken down9. If the lactose present in milk (breastmilk or formula) cannot be digested due to a lack of the enzyme lactase, it can ferment causing the gas and wind that typify colic. Meanwhile the pressure generated by lactose and lactic acid in the stomach can produce an influx of water, leading to a swollen abdomen and acidic diarrhoea.
There also appears to be a link between gut hormones involved in the regulation of gut motility and infantile colic, since high levels of motilin and ghrelin, hormones secreted by cells in the small intestine, may contribute to the intestinal hyperperistalsis and cramping so commonly associated with the condition10.
An immature gut may also be associated with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Although the symptoms can appear to be similar, the two should not be confused.
Intestinal gas – In addition to the fermentation of undigested lactose, there are other reasons intestinal gas can build up causing abdominal distention and intestinal spasm11,12. Perhaps the most obvious of these is the ingestion of excess air while feeding, or inadequate burping afterwards inhibiting the release of trapped air. However, new research also suggests there could be other pathophysiological reasons for the gas, such as differences in the gut microflora of babies with colic.
Gut microflora – Research is increasingly pointing to key differences in the gut microflora of babies with colic. For example, they appear to have higher levels of gas-forming coliform bacteria, (e.g. Escherichia colli13) and lower counts of intestinal Lactobacilli14,15. More recently, Klebsiella has been found to be disproportionately present in the intestines of the babies with colic (whether breast or formula fed) and this organism may be responsible for an inflammatory reaction comparable with that of inflammatory bowel disease16. Colic may therefore be a precursor to other gastrointestinal conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, coeliac disease and allergic gastroenteropathies, although more research into this is required.
Food allergy – There is increasing evidence that cows' milk proteins play an important role in the pathogenesis of infantile colic17,18. If cows' milk allergy (CMA) is suspected, the diagnosis should be confirmed promptly as in very severe cases it can lead to anaphylactic shock if left untreated.
Decreased contractility of the gallbladder – There is evidence to suggest hypocontractility of the gallbladders of colicky infants may be due to a disturbance in cholecystokinin secretion19.
Exposure to cigarette smoke – The prevalence of colic is approximately twice as high among infants of mothers who smoke18 and may be attributed to elevated motilin levels that lead to intestinal spasm20,21.
Parental behaviour – Negative psychological factors in the parents, such as anxiety and stress, have been associated with increased incidence of colic, while overstimulation of the child and fussing appears to make the problem worse23-25.
Treatment pathway
Parents of babies with colicky symptoms will be looking for immediate relief, as well as guidance on how to remedy the problem.
From a clinical perspective, the NHS recommend an upright feeding position and adequate burping post-feed, to hold the baby during a crying episode or to use a faster flow teat with larger or more holes. Anecdotal strategies for relief from colic (outlined on the downloadable link), include the use of 'white noise', motion (from either the car, buggy or a baby swing), or simply carrying the baby around, although care should be taken to not overstimulate the baby.
The following is taken from the current treatment pathway recommended by the NICE Clinical Knowledge Summaries (last updated November 2014)26.
The most useful intervention is advice and support for parents and reassurance that infantile colic will resolve. Only consider trying medical treatments if parents feel unable to cope despite advice and reassurance. The options for medical treatments are:
- A 1-week trial of simeticone drops (such as Infacol® drops).
- A 1-week trial of lactase drops (such as Colief® Infant Drops).
Only continue treatment if there is a response (such as the duration of crying shortens). If there is no response to one medical treatment, consider trying another.
Nutritional intervention
Given the growing body of evidence to suggest differences in gastrointestinal pathophysiology of colicky babies, along with the withdrawal of the pharmaceutical remedy Dicylomine following safety concerns, nutritional interventions may be a useful approach.
Although not mentioned in the current NICE CKS suggested treatment pathway, there is growing clinical support for the inclusion of pre/probiotics in an infant's diet27-31. Given that these can help address certain gut microflora imbalances often associated with colic it is reasonable to suggest that they may be considered for inclusion in future recommendations.
Breastfed babies
Addressing intestinal issues
To help combat the issues associated with an immature digestive system and differences in gut microflora, simeticone and/or lactase drops are often given (despite a lack of evidence to support the former). However, certain probiotics may prove preferable since, for example, Lactobacillus reuteri, when given in a supplement form, has been found to help shift the intestinal ecological balance from potentially harmful to beneficial, addressing associated gastrointestinal issues in doing so27,28. For example, when breastfed babies were given drops of either a probiotic or simeticone once a day, 95% of the babies taking the probiotic cried less after 28 days, compared with only 7% of the babies taking simeticone29.
Addressing possible dietary sensitivities
As colic is not an allergy, it is important to reassure the mother that the baby should be able to tolerate dairy in later life and that this is merely a transient phase. If a test does confirm CMA, which is diagnosed in only 2-7.5% of infants in the UK30, the prognosis is good, with an 85-90% remission rate at 3 years of age31.
Bottle-fed babies
Addressing intestinal issues
As with breastfed babies, the first line of intervention for bottle-fed babies has traditionally been to try simeticone or to add lactase drops to the feed half an hour before intake.
In addition, research has shown that adding prebiotic oligosaccharides (prebiotic OS) to infant milk has been found to be particularly beneficial for all formula fed babies32,33. Babies fed a formula containing a blend of prebiotic OS in the first 6 months of life experienced a significantly reduced incidence of allergic symptoms, infections and need for antibiotics over the next 2 years34. This may be because prebiotic OS work by decreasing the presence of pathogens in the gut flora and increasing the growth of friendly bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli35-37 and so can be beneficial for colicky babies for whom gut flora has been a contributory factor. Colonic gas may also be a cause of gut pains. In one study a formula with less lactose reduced the air released by colonic fermentation theoretically helping to reduce excess gas in the colon38.
Addressing possible dietary sensitivities
Unless there is evidence of severe CMA, multiple food protein intolerance or other conditions where an elemental diet is recommended, formula with reduced allergenicity may be considered to help address colicky symptoms.
Such formulas are available as either whey or casein based and the proteins partially or extensively hydrolysed i.e., the proteins have been partially or extensively broken down into smaller peptides to improve digestibility and reduce allergenicity. Some of these products may only be available on prescription.
The body of evidence supporting the use of partially hydrolysed formula in the treatment of colic is growing all the time5,39. In a study of 175 infants randomly assigned to 4 different intervention groups (massage, sucrose solution, herbal tea and hydrolysed formula) or to control, the greatest reduction of significant crying was reported in the hydrolysed formula group40.
Extensively hydrolysed formulations are sometimes referred to as hypoallergenic formulae because they tend to be prescribed for CMA and/or complex, multiple food intolerances and malabsorption. However, there is evidence (outlined below) suggesting that babies who haven't been diagnosed with an allergy, but who are suffering from digestive discomfort and colicky symptoms anyway, could benefit from partially hydrolysed based formula40-42as it is generally easier to digest than normal infant formula on account of the broken down (partially hydrolysed) protein.
Formula for the dietary management of colic in bottle-fed infants
In light of the distressing nature of colic and the lack of effective treatments other than parental reassurance there has been increasing interest in the role of nutritional factors in the management of this problem. As a result formulas have been developed to assist in the management of colic in bottle-fed infants.
Research into their benefit is ongoing but in an initial study of 604 infants, a partially hydrolysed milk formula was found to reduce the frequency of crying episodes by 50% for 79% of the subjects after 14 days, with the greatest reduction occurring at 7 days41.
This partially hydrolysed milk formula contains significantly less lactose than standard infant milks. It is also formulated to aid the absorption of fat and calcium and to produce softer stools. This is achieved by the inclusion of special fat blends that contain relatively high proportions of palmitic acid in the beta position43. To help modulate gut microflora, this formula also contains a patented mix of prebiotic galacto- and fructo-oligosaccharides that have been found to increase the numbers of beneficial gut bacteria35-38,40.
Although there had been evidence to suggest that soy formula may be beneficial in addressing colicky symptoms42 it is not recommended by the Department of Health for UK infants under 6 months of age.
To summarise, infantile colic, defined as excessive crying in an otherwise healthy baby, is a distressing phenomenon. Although definitive answers remain elusive, the latest research increasingly highlights differences in the gastrointestinal tract of babies who present with colic, and notably to an immature digestive system and gut microflora.
Since the withdrawal of dicyclomine, there appears to be a growing case for nutritional interventions such as the use of partially or extensively hydrolysed formula, maternal diet adjustment (if breastfeeding), and the addition of certain pre/probiotics – notably prebiotic oligosaccharides (OS) and Lactobacillus reuteri – in order to address imbalances in the gut microflora.
While many parents provide anecdotal evidence of soothing strategies, ranging from white noise to motion, the only single treatment that appears to work for most people is time. The reassuring news for parents is that children with colic tend to grow out of it by around 4 to 6 months of age and suffer no lasting ill effects.

Thousands of people with multiple sclerosis are not getting drugs or the care and support they need, according to a campaign launched today by a support charity. Six out of 10 people with MS are not receiving what are called "disease-modifying treatments", which are not cures but may reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks and slow progression of disability.
The MS Society is launching a campaign for better care and support of the estimated 100,000 people who have the neurological condition, which is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. It is caused by damage to the myelin sheath, which surrounds the nerve fibres. There are many symptoms, including vision and balance problems, spasms and stiffness. There is no cure and the condition often gets progressively worse.
The MS Society wants equal access for all to treatment, although the drugs available do not help everyone. A survey of more than 10,000 people with the condition found there were postcode variations, with people in Northern Ireland twice as likely as those in Wales to be taking drug therapy. Of those who were well-informed, saying they had sufficient information on treatments, 59% were taking disease-modifying treatments, compared with 27% of those who felt they did not know enough about them. People who had access to a specialist MS neurologist or nurse were more likely to be on treatments.
In Europe, only Poland and Romania have a lower prescription rate for MS drugs, says the society. "These findings worryingly suggest that the likelihood of someone receiving a life-changing treatment is often based on luck – like where they live or how helpful their healthcare professional is – rather than their genuine clinical need," said Nick Rijke, director of policy and research. When it comes to prescription rates, the UK ranks 25th out of 27 European countries. Given the relative wealth of the UK, this is simply unacceptable. People with MS are facing a lottery when it comes to accessing the care and support they need to manage their condition and this must change."
The report also found that half of those who are struggling to make ends meet and need social care support are unable to access it.

Location: Underway to Rarotonga
We started our first long passage from Bora Bora, French Polynesia to Rarotonga, Cook Islands today. Rarotonga is 540 miles away from Bora Bora. It will take us about three and a half days to arrive there. We started off this morning busy doing all the pre-passage preparation and getting the boat ready to sail. After breakfast, we left French Polynesia, where we have stayed for the past three weeks. Goodbye, French Polynesia! During the rest of the day, everyone worked with his or her watch team for a four-hour shift each time. During time off, people sleep, hang around on the deck or watch movies. We had two classes after lunch. The first day was a little bit rough as some of us were still taking time to adjust to the new moving motion on the ocean and got seasick. The sunset, stars, and sunrise on the sea looked amazingly beautiful. The first day of passage from French Polynesia to Rarotonga went smoothly, and we are now looking forward to the rest of the journey.

Thanks to Anonymous of August 27, 2017, I was able to pinpoint the location of the café and the bank. The café where Rockford and Sandra Turkel (Sian Barbara Allen) met is currently located at:
Hidden Havana Cuban Café
23548 Lyons Ave. Suite A
Santa Clarita, CA 91321
It is within a shopping center at the corner of Lyons Ave. and Peachland Ave. in Santa Clarita. I don't know what the name of the café was before it became Hidden Havana. The bank (which once had the distinctive sign) is currently Union Bank at 23620 Lyons Ave. in Santa Clarita. You can do Google satellite views set to 3D to zero in on this area.

Sep 4 11 In Byron Bay Today
Blokes, In Byron Bay Today.Well yeah there were blokes all over the place, in Byron Bay today. Hardly surprising really, after all it was father's day. There were little blokes, middle sized blokes middle aged blokes and young blokes proudly sporting their new born tiny blokes. They were all there and getting into some quality time in the bay. The big bloke, Huey, must have been in a good mood about the whole thing because all the blokes were rewarded with rather nice little waves in the bay. Nobody was really expecting a rise in the swell, but that's what all these blokes were treated to, In Byron Bay Today. To my old bloke, rest in peace mate, I know you're a part of me, but I still miss you every day.

Retroboot Legion of Super-Heroes #15
Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate!
As you read this I am hopefully still nestled in a tryptophan coma!
Legion of Super-Heroes #15 from the Retroboot series is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. How can you both want a story to not end, to end, and to be aware that it is being forced to end? Well, Holy New52, we knew this arc was coming to an end as the wall of reboot was fast approaching.
In rereading this arc I realize that it isn't as tight as I would like it to be. Usually writer Paul Levitz is able to wrap up a story neatly. He often plants hints and threads early on that come to fruition later. Once the arc nears a wrap up, Levitz will reveal the cards so that all the plot points make sense. But we haven't seen that here. There are too many elements just happening here without any 'why' being attached to them. I feel like there are more details that needed to be embedded here for me to truly appreciate everything that has been happening.
And yet, despite more story, I am wanting this arc to be done. I feel if after this long ... multiple issues and a LSV special ... if I haven't loved the plotline, I am not going to love it. It is time to pull the plug.
Add to that the understanding (when this came out) that the New 52 was 2 months away. And I feel like this was undermined by the universal reboot decision. Despite the fact that the Legion continuiy was staying intact post New 52, I am sure everyone at DC wanted all number one issues to be a potential jumping on point. Levitz had to finish this.
This issue is dominated by action sequences and that is usually a good thing in a LSH vs LSV story. Yildiray Cinar lights up the pages with bold seqyences.
But with so many plot threads still dangling, I was aching for exposition.
On to the book!
Legion of Super-Heroes #15 came out last week and like all the DC titles careening to the relaunch, this was the penultimate chapter in the current arc, here the LSV vs LSH story.
One of the things that I have felt in other books has been the feeling that these story arcs feel rushed, moving to the conclusion more quickly than I would like to meet the impending August deadline for the current DCU. While I think that this arc has always been expected to be this long, there have been times during this storyline that I have questioned the pacing. We have had some things teased (Captain Marvel being released from the Rock of Eternity). We have had some things unexplained- who is the blue flame entity, who is Harmonia Li, why the planets need to be destroyed to aid the villain. And we have had plenty of brawls between Legionnaires and super-villains.
Unfortunately, despite some nice small moments, this issue continues that path. We still don't know who Li is, who the entity is, why things are necessarily happening. But we do get a lot of brawling.
I will say that the smaller moments show why Paul Levitz is so great on this book. He is able to give each character their own personality and desires. And Yildiray Cinar really shines in this issue with great action sequences.
Last issue, Harmonia Li gave us some of her origin, that she is from the World of Wisdom. Using the multiverse energy in Star Boy, she forces open a portal to her home world so that the Legion can battle the villains there and save the world.
While most of the Legion flies to the planet, Li and Thom stay back to keep the passage open.
We know a Legionnaire dies next issue and it was hinted that it might be Thom (Dreamy having a vision of being at a funeral and talking about him). Even though he looks wiped out here, I doubt it is Star Boy who dies. My guess for the dying Legionnaire later. But I bet Thom has to close this portal from the inside next issue, putting him forever on the Wisdom world, keeping him from Dreamy and the rest of the Legion.
And yes, the Legion shows up in force and starts to battle Saturn Queen and her cronies.
I love that Ayla goes right for Mekt. It is that undercurrent of family bitterness that makes this such a great running storyline for the characters. We have seen Ayla defeat him in the past. But amped up on the Blue Flame power, Mekt gets the upper hand. The second panel is really powerful, Ayla's fear exploding off the page.
We do get more hints about the Blue Flame entity. I kept thinking it might be Dark Opal from Amethyst. But Diogene says he is 'the nemesis of Oa, the doom from our original sin'. Is it really going to be Krona?? We just had him as the big villain in the 'War of the Green Lanterns'.
Something else interesting here is Dawnstar's sheer anger at the evil she is sensing. Even though it is well known that Saturn Queen is more powerful than ever, Dawnstar flies off to skirmish with the telepath. I don't know if I am used to seeing Dawnstar be so impulsive as I have seen in this arc. She has flown off in the face of danger time and time again. And while that might be the sign of a hero - doing what needs to be done even if there is danger - Dawnstar could have paused and brought some back-up with her each time. At least Tellus realizes that he needs to follow and help out.
Good thing he does. Saturn Queen very quickly takes control of not only Dawnstar but also Tellus. It is subtle, but it lets me know just how powerful Saturn Queen has become. She overwhelms Tellus with ease.
Tellus has brought friends though. Gates shows up and blips all the Legionnaires away to safety. I think I would like to see Tellus and Gates form a friendship, the most 'alien' looking members of the team.
One character who has really benefited from this arc is new character Sun Killer. He has been in a lot of pages and showcased on a couple of covers. He again fights Timber Wolf (maybe a grudge is forming between these two) but this time is able to defeat Brin.
In comes Sun Boy who overloads Sun Killer with solar energy. I don't know if I exactly follow why this happened but with all the excess energy, Sun Killer shorts out, reverting to his real form.
Again, the small moments work best here. Here we get a nice scene showing some of the depth of Polar Boy. He not only helps heal Timber Wolf, he shields the injured Wolf when the battle spills over near them, and he also is willing to jump into the fray.
I still get the sense that Polar Boy still has a bit of an inferiority complex, as if he still hasn't shed the Substitute Legion tag.
Saturn Queen brings in more recruits to her LSV. With the portal open, I guess more of the Legion pours in. As a result we have an all out war going on. Big moments need big art. Cinar shines here. Radiation Roy! Spider Girl! Black Mace!
Finally, the Blue Flame shows up and chastises Saturn Queen for not finishing the job of destroying this planet. And then he tells her that she has the best weapon in her grasp, Earth Man. I am going to have to look back but somewhere along the way I guessed Earth Man was going to be the dead Legionnaire, sacrificing himself to save the Legion. I would bet money on it.
I thought this was an okay issue overall. The art is slick. The small moments of Legion characterization work very well. But I was still hoping to learn more about the plot here. There are still a lot of holes to fill next issue. Can it all be wrapped up? Legion is one of the few titles minimally effected by the reboot, so I suppose Levitz can wrap up any lingering questions in the new title.
I also will be a bit disappointed if the villain turns out the be Krona. Maybe it is because he was the big bad in Trinity and Green Lantern recently. But he seems a bit played out (even if this takes place 1000 years later).
Overall grade: B
B seems generous in hind sight, doesn't it.
I actually haven't remembered much of this arc as I have reread it. I don't think that is a good thing. What I do recall is that I wasn't happy with it. This makes me believe that I won't be happy when I read next month's conclusion.
What I did like was the smaller Legion character moments during the big fight sequence. In particular, as an Ayla fan, I have loved the Mekt/Ayla scenes throughout this arc. If you were a long time reader and you remember all the stuff between them from the 80's, you know Ayla's hate for her brother is well-deserved. That said, one of the things that I really loved from the 5YL run was Mekt's redemption and reintroduction into his family's life. I guess you can't have it both ways.
In the end, I guess this is a C, a perfectly acceptable if average issue.
So what did you think?

The Namibia Schools Sports Union (NSSU) will today dispatch a strong contingent of 191 athletes to represent the country at this year's Confederation of School Sport Associations of Southern Africa (Cossasa) Ball Games, starting August 26-30 in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.
Namibia will compete in more than six disciplines led by Sevens rugby (boys U-17), tennis (U-17 boys and girls), basketball (boys and girls U-17), football (U-13,U-17 boys and girls), netball (girls only U-13, U-17) and volleyball (U-17).
The NSSU held a send-off gathering at its office in Windhoek yesterday, where the athletes mingled with teammates and were given a small talk on the importance of their mission to Zimbabwe.
Countries that are currently active in the Cossasa Games are Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe, while the likes of Angola, Mozambique, Seychelles and South Africa have not participated in the games for many years now due to various reasons. Last year's edition of the competition was held in Zambia.

Texas car dealer accused of killing customer over bad check
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A San Antonio used car dealer has been arrested in the fatal shooting of a customer who allegedly paid for a vehicle using a bogus check.
Bexar (bayr) County jail records show 47-year-old Munir Ayyoub Ammari was being held Thursday on a murder charge, with bond at $100,000.
Officer Doug Greene says Ammari was calling San Antonio police on Tuesday to report that a driver bought a car using a fraudulent check — when the purchaser drove by.
Police say Ammari got into a vehicle and chased the buyer, forcing a confrontation in a store parking lot. The men argued and the victim was shot. Witnesses flagged down nearby officers.
The victim's name wasn't immediately released.
Online jail records don't list an attorney to speak for the car dealer.

Rusty & I went to see Howard Jones last night at Ram's Head Annapolis (and Tia, there were tickets still available, so you should have come!). We were right up front and it was great! He is quite the story-teller. He was telling us how during the process of releasing the single "Like to Get to Know You Well" they had the song title written in a bunch of different languages on the cover of the 45. (One woman in that audience actually had brought her 45 with her that she bought in 1985!) The contact in Japan called and asked them to stop the press on the artwork unless he wanted to end his career. Apparrently, what they had written translated in Japanese to "Like to Force Myself Upon You." Needless to say, they made the correction, and the song was a huge hit, even in Japan. Here he is with the 45:
Many more funny stories were told, along with lots of great music. And it never gets old to see these musicians up close and personal, who we could have only seen 20 years ago from a distance in a huge arena.
Thanks for a great night, Howard! 🙂

Satin extends Java with Cilk like primitives that make it very convenient for the programmer to write divide and conquer style programs. Unlike manager/worker programs, divide-and-conquer algorithms operate by recursively dividing a problem into smaller subproblems. This recursive subdivision goes on until the remaining subproblem becomes trivial to solve. After solving subproblems, their results are recursively recombined until the final solution is assembled. Due to it's hierarchical nature, the divide-and-conquer model maps cleanly to grid systems, which also tend to have an hierarchical structure. Satin contains a efficient and simple load-balancing algorithm, Cluster-aware Random Stealing (CRS), which outperforms existing load- balancing strategies on multi-cluster systems. In addition, Satin also provides efficient fault-tolerance, malleability (e.g. the ability to cope with dynamically changing number of processors) and migration in a way that is transparent to the application.

Tagged: Alex Cora
Talk About Scoring Some Runs…
There were clearly doubts about the Yankees' offense's ability to score runs during the Red Sox series. But man, maybe they were just saving it to make their cross town rivals look really bad… not to mention their ace. Yeah. The Yanks demolished the Mets in the Subway Series finale, 15-0. The series was split one game apiece but the Yanks broke that split with authority as they did everything right in the rout of the Mets.
AJ Burnett took the mound and man, was he STELLAR… for the most part. He went seven strong innings, giving up four hits and four walks. No runs. He shutout an injured, but still powerful Mets offense. His curve was filthy and no one could lay off it. Alex Cora struck out after going up 3-0 in the count. Burnett used the curve to strike him out as Cora chased. His fastball was also very good. Clocking in at 95-96, as usual, Burnett was just dominating Mets' batters. He struck out Carlos Beltran on a low fastball that got Beltran fired up. Jerry Manuel came out to defend his player and got booted. It was an intense couple of minutes… just joking, it wasn't really that intense. So Burnett was really good today… there you go.
The offense was also very good. I mean c'mon… the score was 15-0. Robby Cano and Hideki Matsui both hit monster shots for round trippers. Francisco Cervelli had a big game at the plate, as well as behind it. More on that later. Derek Jeter, Johnny Damon, Melky Cabrera. They also had big games. Mark Teixeira went 1-4 on the game and wasn't really that much of a factor. Same with A-Rod, who went 0-4. But that's alright since everyone else contributed a lot. He was fine.
So, Francisco Cervelli. How 'bout this kid. He is batting under .200 when he is called up to the Majors. But the Yanks didn't bring him up for his bat. They did so for his play behind the plate. Both behind the plate and at the plate, Cervelli showed that he was ready to play. He had a great offensive game and really controlled the game behind the plate. In the top of the third, the Mets threatened with the bases loaded, but Cervelli guided Burnett, a veteran, through the next three at-bats and got three straight outs. He was such a big presence behind the plate that I am so glad we have. During an Alex Cora at-bat, Cora was up 3-0, as mentioned before. Cervelli got up, very wide, and gave Burnett a big target for his fastball. He nailed it. This just showed me that Cervelli is indeed a professional. He was STELLAR.
So everything was going extremely well for the Yankees today. The pitching was STELLAR, the offesne definitely did their job in scoring some runs, and the DEFENSE played extremely well as well. Johnny Damon made a nice running catch in the outfield. The infield played good D and didn't allow anything into the outfield on the ground. And definitely the defensive highlight of the game was on a ground ball up the middle by Reed. Ramiro Pena, fresh off the bench, got to the ball, shoveled it to Robinson Cano at second and Cano made the bare handed grab and threw it to first to complete the double play. As this happened I was thinking, "that's on top plays tomorrow." Derek Jeter also made a nice double play in the game. too. Cano got a ground ball and threw it to Jeter who made a perfect leap over the hard slide of Gary Sheffield and made the throw to first. It was another nice defensive play that doesn't always get recognized in the box scores. Well, it gets recognized here.
It was great. I loved to watch them play so perfectly. As I write this, the Phils-Red Sox game is headed to the ninth and the Phils are up 11-5. This is good for us because if the Phils hang on, we'll get another game back in the AL East standings.
Great win guys!
Go Yanks… Go Phils

Yeshua is Lord, El Gibbor is He
Listen not unto the liar who says, 'This cannot be'
For many shall come unto you, to steal your eternal life
Satan's emissaries of lies, wrath, destruction and strife.
They will come, yes they will come, to argue and to deceive;
But stand firm thou man of God, on what thou dost believe.
For truth will always speak on this wise, ever it shall be
'Yeshua died and rose again' because He lovest thee.
But the foolish and vainglorious bring Yeshua down to a man;
For they know not of God's Son, 'Before Abraham was, I EXISTED
Proverbs 8:22-30; John 1:1; John 8:58

A. Lee Martinez Quotes
A. Lee Martinez is an American fantasy and science fiction author. He has been a member of the DFW Writers' Workshop since 1995. He currently resides in Terrell, Texas
Read more about this author on Wikipedia
Reality is like a fruitcake; pretty enough to look at but with all sorts of nasty things lurking just beneath the surface.
I believe it was the great ogre philosopher Gary who observed that complexity is, generally speaking, an illusion of conscious desire. All things exist in as simple a form as necessity dictates. When a thing is labeled 'complex,' that's just a roundabout way of saying you're not observant enough to understand it.
It was one thing to hide away from the world. It was quite another to discover the world didn't miss you when you were gone.
Because life is complicated and difficult. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't truly lived.
Quiet descended, a silence so consuming that even the drafty corridors ceased whistling. Bog wasn't certain where to look, so he solved the problem by plucking out his eyes and sticking them in a drawer.
To worry is to acknowledge that the world is unpredictable, and there is power in understanding one's own powerlessness at times. But too often worry takes on life of its own. Men are quite prone to this. They'll plague themselves with so many 'what if's and 'if only's that they soon forget to ponder the true possibilities before them. Which inevitably lead to poor decisions. Whatever happens will happen. Sometimes we have say over the future. Sometimes we don't. Either way, worrying alone never accomplishes anything.
In the middle of nowhere, along a quiet stretch of road, the diner dreamt of the hungry dead. And of two men.
Ned passed the next few minutes quietly not dying in his office, and was pleased with how well it was going. He'd stayed alive longer, but now that he was concentrating on it, it felt more like an accomplishment.
Terrible errors are rarely made all at once. Usually they are performed one small misstep at a time.

Today my sister and I wondered down the road to Base for what we thought was a coffee demo. Who doesn't want to learn how to make that perfect cup of wake-up juice eh. Anywho, turns out that it was even better being a four hour spell of FREE coffee and pastries for all… epic win.
At some point I'll have to get back there to try there wood fire pizza. For today I'll leave it at the fluffy white coffee and almond croissant. What a delight.
Until next time,

Listening to Matt Cooper on his Last Word radio show on TodayFM this evening, he said that he had just got a text saying that someone had just seen a huge light in the sky over Millstreet moving north east towards Kanturk. He thought it was a hoax at first, but then they started getting loads of texts from all around the country. It looks like it was a large meteorite, hundreds of times bigger than your normal shooting star. Here's a video of the meteorite on youTube.
"Looked like a firework at first, kinda green, but far too big. Then it seemed to disappear for a split second, the reappeared looking more orange/yellow" – boards.ie
Did anyone have to good fortune to see it? I didn't. Let us know if you did.
Update March 2010: Looks like the videos have been removed from YouTube sorry 🙁 … but here's another one where David Moore of Astronomy Ireland talks about the meteor

Normally when Caloocan City is mentioned, what comes to mind are the crowds of people going to and from around the Monumento area. However, there is more than meets the eye in this city with a beauty yet to be discovered.
To begin with, Caloocan ranks second in terms of local economy growth and developed road network, thanks it is high earnings derived by the city government. It has the third lowest cost of living in Metro Manila. Not surprisingly, Caloocan landed among the top 10 of the most competitive cities in the Philippines, according to the National Competitiveness Council.
All the good things do not end there, as Caloocan constantly emphasizes its positive changes. With the local government's projects to build public cemeteries, new public markets, and health centers; the city stands as a testament that change has come. The continuous improvement of the road network and streetlights ensure that Caloocan is heading for a bright future. All of these, plus the enactment of city ordinances aimed at ensuring peace and order make Caloocan worth rediscovering.
Caloocan, with its dynamism and promising future, is certainly worth considering as a place to stay. It presents one of the most affordable housing industry with monthly apartment rental rates, for as low as Php3,000.
Take a look at the offerings at MyProperty.ph. If one desires for a comfortable place to stay, then the studio type apartment for rent in Bagong Silang should be the right choice for only Php3,500 a month.
Another studio apartment along Sangandaan is also being offered, available for only Php7,000 per month. The 18 sqm unit is located inside a brand new building. It has its own tiled toilet and bath with lavatory and kitchen sink as well as a granite counter top. It has built-in kitchen cabinets. The floors are also made out of granite. For security, the building is monitored by a CCTV System with night security guard. Fire alarm and sprinkler system are available with provisions for telephone/internet and cable TV installation. Each unit has its own power and water meters (not sub-meters). On top of it all the place is just along the main road for convenience.
There are many advantages to renting, especially in Caloocan. First, you have lesser responsibility for the place. A pipe bursts resulting in a chain of damage, and the owner of the place shoulders the repair bills. In contrast, if you own the place, all gets charged from your pocket.
Second, renting allows you to be free of debt (save, of course, from your monthly rental commitment). When you rent a place, all you pay for are the rent and the utilities, whereas if you try to purchase the place, it would most likely be through financing, such as a bank housing loan. This in turn will put you in debt by a huge sum of money, which will force you to stall other plans.
Third, you may have other priorities on top of home ownership, such as college education, financial investments, and others. Renting affords you a viable and flexible means to sustain both expenses without breaking the bank.
And finally, renting provides you with the utmost flexibility before finally deciding to settle in Caloocan. With terms that range from six months to one year; there should be a property for rent in this city that fits your needs accordingly.

A Diet Rich in Olive Oil Phenolics Reduces Oxidative Stress in the Heart of SAMP8 Mice by Induction of Nrf2-Dependent Gene Expression.
Bayram, B., Ozcelik, B., Grimm, S., Roeder, T., Schrader, C., Ernst, I. M. A., Wagner, A. E., Grune, T., Frank, J. and Rimbach, Gerald (2012) A Diet Rich in Olive Oil Phenolics Reduces Oxidative Stress in the Heart of SAMP8 Mice by Induction of Nrf2-Dependent Gene Expression. Rejuvenation Research, 15 (1). pp. 71-81. DOI doi.10.1089/rej.2011.1245.Full text not available from this repository.
A Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil has been associated with health benefits in humans. It is unclear if and to what extent olive oil phenolics may mediate these health benefits. In this study, we fed senescence-accelerated mouse-prone 8 (SAMP8, n = 11 per group) semisynthetic diets with 10% olive oil containing either high (HP) or low amounts of olive oil phenolics (LP) for 4.5 months. Mice consuming the HP diet had significantly lower concentrations of the oxidative damage markers thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and protein carbonyls in the heart, whereas proteasomal activity was similar in both groups. Nrf2-dependent gene expression may be impaired during the aging process. Therefore, we measured Nrf2 and its target genes glutathione-S-transferase (GST), gamma-glutamyl cysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate [NAD(P) H]: quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), and paraoxonase-2 (PON2) in the hearts of these mice. Nrf2 as well as GST, gamma-GCS, NQO1, and PON2 mRNA levels were significantly higher in heart tissue of the HP as compared to the LP group. The HP-fed mice had significantly higher PON1 activity in serum compared to those receiving the LP diet. Furthermore, HP feeding increased relative SIRT1 mRNA levels. Additional mechanistic cell culture experiments were performed, and they suggest that the olive oil phenolic hydroxytyrosol present in the HP oil may be responsible for the induction of Nrf2-dependent gene expression and the increase in PON activity. In conclusion, a diet rich in olive oil phenolics may prevent oxidative stress in the heart of SAMP8 mice by modulating Nrf2-dependent gene expression.

SKYCITY has a problem in Queenstown, New Zealand's premier resort town and it knows there are no easy solutions.
The company has both the casino licences in the town, but both casinos are in leased premises and at least one site is woefully inadequate for its purposes, a situation the company has often acknowledged.
SKYCITY spokesman Colin Espiner confirmed that the company was very keen to continue operating in Queenstown and was actively exploring all options.
What to do is taking up time for the board and management as they consider a series of options. Compounding the difficulties is some large legal issues, which may prove unsolvable under current legislation.
One option would be for SKYCITY to quit the building on Queenstown wharf which houses its smaller and less attractive casino, when the lease expires in two years time.
New Zealand legislation requires casino operators to have two licences: one to operate a casino, and the second (called a Casino Venue Agreement) for the set of premises where the casino is located.
This option is unattractive because the legislation prohibits the transfer of an operator's licence from one set of premises to another.
The second and larger casino is in the downtown area of Queenstown, but is also in leased premises. It has a longer lease, and the casino itself is more attractive as a venue for international visitors, but is still short of the standard SKYCITY would prefer to provide.
Redevelopment and expansion on this site would be difficult and might well involve closing the operation for many months, with the attendant loss of revenue and staff issues, but would likely avoid the problem of the legal inability to transfer casino licences from one set of premises to another.
Another option would be to build a purpose designed integrated resort. This might be near the town rather than in it – land being scarce and very expensive in Queenstown itself.
That would almost certainly entail an investment of several hundred million dollars and take many years, assumes that a suitable site can be found and the necessary development and building consents obtained to build.
However, this option stumbles on the same legal issue of the transfer of an operator's licence even where the second set of premises meets the requirements for a premises licence.
SKYCITY has four of the six casino operating licences available in New Zealand, and the government has banned the issuing of any new licences.
If SKYCITY were to surrender a licence in Queenstown it could apply for it again for any new premises, but this would be a competitive process and involve public hearings about whether a casino should be permitted to operate at all.
While this route – if completed successfully – would resolve all of the legal issues involved, it is also be the most risky and most expensive and could result in a licence being refused or awarded to another operator.
Gambling Commission Chairman Graeme Reeves said SKYCITY was well aware of its legal position and of the issues involved.
One possible option would be to seek government co-operation to change the law to allow casino operators to move their licences from one set of premises to another – subject to the approval of the Gambling Commission – but so far this has not been raised with the government.

The Middle East and Levant region returns with critical infrastructure being a priority for large economies who have massive requirements to deliver projects driven by population growth and need to diversify their economies.
Utility scale projects in the region are coming into fruition with Jordan, Saudi and Egypt heading towards second and even third rounds. Lebanon's first round is a pivotal moment for the solar industry and provides the sector a boost of confidence in the region.
Lebanon does not lack experience in delivering commercial-scale solar installation, however in 2017 utility scale 150MW opportunities will be the game-changer. The recently updated National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP 2016-2020) provides clear guidelines for delivering targets and given the high potential for development of the Solar PV plants the opportunity has been ear-marked to be as large as 1000MW.
The Utility Scale Solar Summit is the pivotal place for Middle Eastern, European and North Africa utilities to further develop new relationships to win business.
The strategic programme will be led by utility solar companies from the region, international EPCs, O&Ms from the international community. Experts showcasing their products will experience tailored sessions that focus on business development and knowledge sharing of the latest industry trends.
Call us today on +971 4 563 1555 or email [email protected] for further information

Blog » MOBILITY OF THE URBAN POOR event presentation by Francois Boulanger, Team Lead, Nodalis Conseil
PRESENTATION: Francois Boulanger, Team Lead, Nodalis Conseil
Enabling low-income people to access urban transport services is critical to reducing poverty and sharing the agglomeration benefits of more populated, denser, and more productive cities. Yet national and local governments in the Bank's client countries typically cannot afford to subsidize urban transport at the levels seen in more developed economies.
The Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid (GPOBA) aims to make the use of government resources more accountable by disbursing public funds based on concrete outputs and results and more effective by targeting the subsidies to the poor. OBA schemes have been used successfully for basic infrastructure services, such as water, sanitation, and electricity, however, applying the approach to mobility services poses specific challenges. In this context, GPOBA is funding a scoping study to analyze how the OBA approach could be applied to urban transport services and develop pilot projects for selected urban areas. The event will discuss the initial findings of the GPOBA study and foster discussion around this important topic. It will also address the key messages and operational recommendations from a new report recently published by the French Development Agency (AFD), focusing on the social and economic rationales for subsidising urban transport.

The Flipped Patient
December 16, 2014
Many of us in the Program in Bedside Medicine are deeply involved in the medical students pre-clerkship curriculum. Each week the students interview hospitalized patients, perform physical exams, give presentations, followed by a written H&P note. These students enter the patient room with only pen and paper, as they have not yet gained access to the Electronic Health Record (EHR). By the end of the year, our students are able to obtain medical history from patients with complex medical problems on their own and able to communicate their findings concisely and effectively.
In the latest issue of JAMA, we describe our observations as these same students enter clerkships as 3rd year medical students the following year. Survival skills are developed as they learn how to adapt and function on the medical wards by unlearning much of what they have been taught the year before. Efficiency and the ability to multitask are rewarded. Like their supervising residents, they become accustomed to going to the computer first, confirm with the patient second, then reverse-engineering the patient presentation for rounds. This approach to information gathering is not dissimilar to the Flipped Classroom style of learning that has recently been introduced in classrooms. We dubbed this phenomenon on the wards the "Flipped Patient" to highlight its appeal to millennial learners and bring attention to this evolving workflow which had developed with the introduction of the EHR.

Overview Image Gallery
Flynt's Trumpet is Flynt Coal's weapon of choice. It made its first appearance in "Never Miss a Beat".
Flynt's Trumpet is a weapon that has the ability to send a high frequency sound wave towards its opponent. The sound wave is strong enough to blow back multiple people, as shown in "Never Miss a Beat" when Flynt blasts Yang Xiao Long away into the urban biome. The force can be multiplied when Flynt uses his Semblance "Killer Quartet", which was able to disarm Weiss Schnee from Myrtenaster.
Flynt's sound waves can also be infused with elements, whether influenced by the Dust vials within the trumpet, the element of the clone from Flynt's Semblance or the environment, which was shown when Flynt blows lava towards Weiss and infuses his sound waves with fire.
The concept art for Flynt's trumpet implies it can transform into something else.
