Rosacea Awareness Month to Highlight Importance of Seeking Early Diagnosis
BARRINGTON, Illinois (February 6, 2008) -- Although surveys have found rosacea can inflict significant damage to quality of life and emotional well-being as it becomes increasingly severe, medical help is available to control or prevent its potentially devastating effects on facial appearance. The National Rosacea Society (NRS) has designated April as Rosacea Awareness Month to alert the public to the warning signs of this chronic and conspicuous disorder of the facial skin, now estimated to affect more than 14 million Americans.
"Although many may assume it's just a sunburn or a temporary case of acne, through greater public awareness more people will seek early diagnosis and appropriate therapy before their rosacea becomes a serious intrusion on their emotional, social and professional lives," said Dr. John Wolf, chairman of dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine.
While rosacea varies from one patient to another, its primary signs may include flushing or transient erythema (redness), persistent erythema, papules (bumps) and pustules (pimples), and telangiectasia (visible blood vessels), according to the NRS standard classification of rosacea, developed by a consensus committee and review panel of 17 experts worldwide. Secondary features may include burning or stinging, plaques (raised patches on the skin), a dry appearance, edema (swelling), ocular manifestations and phymatous changes, in which the skin thickens.
The standard subtypes of rosacea reflect the most common patterns of signs and symptoms, and patients may have characteristics of more than one subtype at the same time. Subtype 1 (erythematotelangiectatic) rosacea is characterized by flushing and persistent redness on the central portion of the face, while subtype 2 (papulopustular) rosacea also features transient papules. Subtype 3 (phymatous) rosacea includes thickening of the skin, irregular nodularities and enlargement, especially of the nose.
Subtype 4 is ocular rosacea, where the eyes may have a watery or bloodshot appearance, the sensation of a foreign body, burning or stinging, dryness, itching, light sensitivity or a host of other signs and symptoms. Styes are a common sign of rosacea-related eye disease, and in severe cases vision may be reduced due to corneal complications.
In an NRS survey of 603 patients, 76 percent said rosacea's effect on their personal appearance had lowered their self-confidence and self-esteem, and nearly half said it had diminished their outlook on life. Moreover, for those who described their condition as severe, 94 percent said it had damaged their self-confidence and 77 percent said their rosacea had negatively affected their outlook. Nearly 40 percent said they had canceled business meetings or social engagements because of rosacea's effect on their appearance, and nearly 30 percent had even missed work because of their condition.
The good news is that 80 percent of the survey respondents reported that effective medical therapy had also improved their emotional well-being.
During Rosacea Awareness Month, extensive public education activities will be conducted by the NRS to increase awareness and understanding of this widespread disorder, emphasizing its warning signs and urging those who suspect they may have the condition to see a dermatologist or other physician. In addition, bulk quantities of NRS educational materials are available to health professionals for their patients.
During April, as well as throughout the year, individuals may call the National Rosacea Society's toll-free telephone number at 1-888-NO-BLUSH to receive free information and Rosacea Review, a newsletter for rosacea patients. The NRS also offers a "Rosacea Diary" to help patients identify and avoid lifestyle factors that may trigger flare-ups in their individual cases, as well as booklets on "Understanding Rosacea," "Managing Rosacea" and "Coping with Rosacea."

It is possible that the main title of the report Ventricular Septal Defects is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Ventricular septal defects are heart defects that are present at birth (congenital). The normal heart has four chambers. The two upper chambers, known as atria, are separated from each other by a fibrous partition known as the atrial septum. The two lower chambers are known as ventricles and are separated from each other by the ventricular septum. Valves connect the atria (left and right) to their respective ventricles. The aorta, the main vessel of arterial circulation, carries blood from the left ventricle and away from the heart.
Ventricular septal defects can occur in any portion of the ventricular septum. The size and location of the defect determine the severity of the symptoms. Small ventricular septal defects can close on their own (spontaneously) or become less significant as the child matures and grows. Moderately-sized defects can cause congestive heart failure, which is characterized by an abnormally rapid rate of breathing (tachypnea), wheezing, unusually fast heartbeat (tachycardia), enlarged liver (hepatomegaly), and/or failure to thrive. Large ventricular septal defects can cause life-threatening complications during infancy. Persistent elevation of the pressure within the artery that carries blood away from the heart and to the lungs (pulmonary artery) can cause permanent damage to the lungs. The exact cause of ventricular septal defects is not fully understood.

Winter 2008/2009
In 1996, combination HIV therapy gave us the ability to suppress HIV and allow the immune system to rebuild itself. After years of struggling with treatments that were only partially effective, we finally had the technology to dramatically alter the course of HIV disease. This created a new reality: living with HIV.
The treatments were complex back then: many pills taken two or three times a day, some with food, some without, many with serious side effects. We learned what providers who worked with persons with chronic illnesses already knew. Taking medicines every day and sticking to a regimen for life is not easy: It's not easy for the young or for the old or middle-aged; not for the rich or the poor; not for white, black, or brown; not for people with HIV, diabetes, or hypertension. Adherence is an issue for all people. It is a human problem.
In 2009, almost three decades into the epidemic, we have more and better treatments, and six different classes of medications. We can tailor regimens to the needs of each individual. We have simple, once-a-day regimens with fewer pills, and the side effects can often be controlled.
Everyone's life situation has an impact on how that person adapts to illness and on the ability to adhere. Women with young children, for example, often forgo their own treatment because they are so busy taking care of their children that they forget to take care of themselves. Older people who live alone often have difficulty taking medicines because of confusion stemming from the large number of different pills they may have to take. Adolescents often displace their anger towards illness. The pills become the enemy and the adolescent exercises control by refusing treatment.
Can young people infected with HIV take medicines consistently? What are the challenges they face? How can we help them overcome these challenges and learn to live well despite having HIV?
Adolescence, the period between the end of childhood and the beginning of adulthood, is characterized by movement and growth, conflict and rapid change. Physical growth happens quickly, and it takes the developing brain time to catch up. There is a disconnect between body and mind.
This disconnect makes it difficult for adolescents to manage illness. The way the illness looks is often more disturbing to an adolescent than the illness itself. These youth often don't have the words to explain symptoms or the skills to take actions. They think concretely, in the moment. They lack the ego strength to feel empowered to exert positive control over their lives.
Although they strive to be independent, often kicking and screaming about their choices and their right to make them, they rely on adults to help them negotiate illness and the health care world. They need adults who will hang in there with them, no matter how hard they push them away.
To understand some of the challenges adolescents with HIV experience better, let us examine three stories, composites of the many young people who have come through my program.
Rosie was born with HIV, but had never been told. When she was 12, her mother asked me, "What should I do? How do I tell her? Will she hate me?" When she brought Rosie in, she said, "Tell her -- you have to tell her now."
Core Components of Successful Adherence
Obstacles to Adherence
Rosie lived with her grandmother, her mother, and her stepsister. Though her parents were not together, her father was always involved and she spent most weekends with him. Rosie had never been ill or hospitalized. The only symptoms she had were a small buffalo hump and a thick neck, side effects of Zerit. We stopped the Zerit and switched Rosie to Atripla. She keeps her hair long, and at least the problem hasn't gotten worse.
Her mother was on methadone and never took HIV meds. Rosie watched her become ill over the next two years. Her mother died when Rosie was 14.
We expected Rosie to act out and stop taking her medications. That is how so many children infected at birth behave. She had suffered the trauma of the death of her mother. Her body was somewhat deformed and she knew the medicines caused this. We were prepared.
But Rosie did not stop her meds. Yes, she expressed anger toward the changes in her body. "Sometimes, it just makes me soooo mad." But when we discussed the desire to stop, she said, "Are you crazy? I don't want to die like ..."
In our team meetings we asked, "What makes Rosie different?" Joey lived with an addicted mother who never took meds. Lonnie's mother took meds, but there were six children in the house and Lonnie's problems were often lost in the din. Shauna was raised by her grandmother, and we used to hear her grandmother screaming in the background, "If you don't take your medicines, you're going to end up like your mother, dead." None of these young people were able to take medications and all of them have died.
Rosie's family is different. Even at her lowest points, Rosie's mother brought her in for medical care. Her grandmother took care of both of them. No one ever yelled at Rosie about the medicines. They saw the medicines as a gift from God. The household in which Rosie grew up before the death of her mother was organized and structured. The transition to her father's home was smooth. Rosie was given a choice between staying with her grandmother or with her father, and she chose her father. Everyone expects Rosie to go to school, have friends, do the things teenagers are expected to do, to participate in life. And Rosie knows, from the experience of her mother, what it means not to take her medications.
Having supportive adults in the lives of young people -- having structured, organized, normalized routines and expectations -- are the building blocks of adherence.
Antonio tested positive for HIV when he was fifteen years old. He had been in a relationship with an older man and heard through the grapevine that the man was HIV positive. He tested at a community-based program but quickly disappeared.
Luckily, Antonio joined a peer education program when he was 17. He was an excellent educator, always on time, grasped the material well, had positive relationships with his peers, and was committed to educating youth about the risks of unprotected sex and HIV.
Toward the end of the program, Antonio disclosed his secret to the social worker in charge of the group. She brought him to our medical program and remained available for support.
The shame Antonio experienced -- his isolation, his fear -- are indescribable. He grew up in a Puerto Rican family, one of ten children. Although he was always aware of his sexual identity, his father tried to beat it out of him. He felt ugly and deformed. Children teased him because of his dark skin. He had no sense of belonging, of being valued simply for being who he was.
He experienced HIV as a punishment for being gay: "I knew better. I got what I deserved." His identity as a young gay Latino, already fragile, was shattered by the diagnosis of HIV. He built a persona around himself, acting the illusion of a perfect self.
He had kept the secret for two years before we met him. The process of engaging him in care took another two years. He lived transiently and was often hard to find. He wouldn't come in for routine visits without extensive outreach by our staff. Even when he had a cough and a fever of 102, it took two weeks to get him to come in for treatment. He disclosed to no one and could not say out loud, "I have HIV."
But viruses don't care about readiness. HIV marches to its own beat. Antonio's CD4 count dropped from the low 400s to less than 200 by the time he turned 19. Although we explained the reasons for starting medicine, and Antonio understood what we were telling him, he wouldn't even take Bactrim to prevent PCP (pneumonia).
Accurate information is an essential tool for making reasonable choices. But education does not always change behavior, so much of which is governed not by reason but by emotion and unconscious drive. If education did change behavior, everyone would wear condoms. No one would ever fall in love. And certainly no one would ever smoke a cigarette.
When Antonio turned 20, his CD4 count fell to 45. We referred him to the dentist for a purple lesion behind his back teeth and, sure enough, Antonio had Kaposi's Sarcoma. At that point, the disease became real. It's easy to deny HIV, even AIDS, but cancer? No way. Antonio recognized the real threat of suffering and death. He was able to acknowledge the dreaded AIDS. HIV meds suddenly represented life, hope and a future. "What are you waiting for?" he asked himself, and he has not missed a dose since.
The ability to see and plan for the future, the ability to understand consequences, the courage and the will to live are markers of the maturity of young adulthood. Antonio caught on to it just in time. He was ready to move forward, committed to building a life. "Medicines," he says, "are like brushing my teeth. I don't even think about it any more."
Anya comes from a war-torn African country, and does not know what happened to her mother or father. She came to the U.S. at age 14 and lived in a refugee camp until a relative was located. Her aunt took her in, but when Anya tested positive for HIV her aunt placed her in the custody of the NYC Administration for Children's Services. Anya believes she contracted HIV through a blood transfusion.
Anya started HIV meds back when the standard of care was to treat early, no matter what the CD4 count. She was very quiet. Her English was limited and she made little eye contact. She took her medications without question for three years and maintained an undetectable viral load for that time.
But problems began to unfold when she turned 18 and was removed from her foster mother. Her aunt decided to take her back, but the relationship was short-lived. Anya's housing status became very unstable. She moved from place to place and stopped taking her meds. She complained of a variety of aches and pains. She also said that her caregivers were withholding food -- accusations that were unfounded. Her CD4 counts remained in the 300s, and she was planning on resuming meds once her housing situation stabilized.
Anya had her first breakdown when she was nineteen. She began hearing voices that told her to jump in front of an oncoming train. She was very withdrawn and tearful. She was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of major depression with psychotic features.
Getting Anya to accept her mental illness was the next great hurdle. She did well when she took her antidepressants and antipsychotics. But as soon as she felt better, she stopped them. "If I feel well, why do I have to take them?"
How do you explain mental illness as a lifelong problem that won't go away without treatment? How do you explain that the brain is like a muscle that has wounds and scars from all the traumas of life, causing symptoms like voices that aren't there and overwhelming feelings of despair. As Anya grappled with this, her CD4 count began to drop and she developed HIV-related arthritis. She wanted to take HIV meds, since it was easier to understand and accept HIV than mental illness. But every time she started gaining control over the virus, the voices came back, telling her to kill herself.
Anya has been hospitalized four times over the past three years. She is now 22. During her last hospitalization she was able to express the rage that has been building up inside for her entire life. She is mature enough to recognize that the antipsychotic medicines control the symptoms of her mental illness just as the HIV medications control the arthritis, fatigue, and illness caused by the virus.
She has been living in supportive housing for the past two years and is trying to find something more permanent. She recognizes that she needs support in handling the complexity of both illnesses. She hopes to find work that will allow her to be productive and more self-sufficient. With advocacy by the many social workers who have been involved in her care, she is in the process of becoming an U.S. citizen. She wants to be able to vote in the next election.
These three studies demonstrate the array of problems that young people with HIV face. Rosie had to deal with the illness in the context of the death of her mother and had to make a transition from one house to another. Antonio experienced physical abuse, rejection by his family, and homelessness prior to his diagnosis of HIV. Anya experienced the traumas of war, loss, displacement, and possibly rape.
HIV infection is just one item in the long list of challenges these young people face. Our program strives to treat HIV in the context of each youth's life. We are privileged to have a multidisciplinary team consisting of physicians, a nurse practitioner, social workers, a psychiatrist, a nutritionist, and an HIV counselor. We rely on each other to work with our clients on the many problems they experience.
We build on the strengths of our clients and develop positive, professional, and supportive relationships with them. Each client who comes into our program is valued and special. We believe that the relationships we build with our clients, based on trust, value, respect, and honesty, lay the foundation for their ability to adapt to living with HIV, to integrate the diagnosis into their lives, and to adhere successfully to HIV therapy.
Alice Myerson is the Clinical Coordinator of the Adolescent AIDS Program at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx.

About RSNA
From December 15 to 17, 1920, the Western Roentgen Society, renamed the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), held its sixth annual meeting in Chicago's Hotel Sherman. Albert F. Tyler, MD, became the new president, and he oversaw the admission of 218 new members. By this time, the American Roentgen Ray Society and the RSNA were the two dominant national organizations in the radiologic field. The American Radium Society (ARS) had formed just 1 year after the founding of the Western Roentgen Society, but its membership was limited due to its focus on the therapeutic use of radium and high-voltage x-rays to treat malignant diseases. Later in the decade, Albert Soiland, MD, a radiation therapist from the West Coast and the 1922 president of the RSNA, was one of 20 radiologists who formed the American College of Radiology (ACR), which initially was an exclusive club limited to 100 of the most outstanding radiologists in the United States.
Financial Struggles Influence Society Decisions
The RSNA, however, was struggling financially. Society leaders therefore decided to cut expenses by limiting RSNA meetings to one per year. Since 1915, a mid-annual meeting had convened in such locations as Kansas City, Colorado Springs, Cleveland, and New Orleans. The last mid-annual RSNA meeting was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1925.
Because the RSNA was considered, by virtue of its name, an organization with a continental scope, a decision was made to hold the annual meeting at locations other than Chicago. In 1922, the first annual meeting outside Chicago was held at the Hotel Statler in Detroit, Michigan. The next year's meeting was in Rochester, Minnesota. In succeeding years, the meeting was held in Kansas City, Missouri, Cleveland, Ohio, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and New Orleans, Louisiana. The meeting returned to Chicago in 1928 where it convened at the Drake Hotel. In 1929, the RSNA held one of its few annual meetings outside the United States when members met on December 2 at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto.
In addition, as a way to guarantee the continued publication of the Journal of Radiology, RSNA Executive Committee members created the Radiological Publishing Company, and many RSNA members bought stock in this new venture. President Tyler then oversaw the establishment of editorial operations in Omaha. He made his brother the business manager, and he made himself editor, replacing Bundy Allen, MD, who had been editor of the journal since its inception as the Journal of Roentgenology 2 years earlier.
Meanwhile, RSNA membership continued to grow and had reached 700 by 1921 under the presidency of Alden Williams, MD. During the 1921 annual meeting, again in Chicago's Hotel Sherman, the RSNA began to reach out internationally by conferring "corresponding" membership to eight European radiologists representing the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Sweden. Also, President Williams, realizing that radiology could eventually cease to exist without the support of research, appointed a Committee on Research. Its purpose was to carry on "certain investigations relative to the best manner of cooperating in research already under way in America, and, if necessary, planning for research on certain specific problems about which the members of the Radiological Society might be concerned" (1).
As the organization grew, RSNA leaders made sure the democratic principles on which the Western Roentgen Society was founded were being upheld. Society President Arthur W. Erskine, MD, wrote: "The older members have been proud of the fact that no member, regardless of his obscurity or the modesty of his attainments, has ever been denied the right to raise his voice in either the scientific or executive sessions of the Society" (2).
RSNA Loses Control of Its Journal
One year later, RSNA officers realized they had lost control of their official journal to Past-President Tyler and his brother. Efforts to regain control, led by 1923 RSNA President Russell D. Carman, MD, resulted in expensive litigation between the Society and Dr Tyler. This legal battle ended in a federal court in St Paul, Minnesota, which ruled in the Society's favor. The Radiological Publishing Company was dissolved, and the Journal of Radiology ceased publication.
The RSNA wasted little time establishing a new journal. Maximilian J. Hubeny, MD, of Chicago, was selected to be the editor of the new journal, Radiology, for 3 years. The first issue of Radiology was printed in September 1923. Because the RSNA could not obtain the list of Journal of Radiology subscribers from Dr Tyler, approximately 3,000 copies of the monthly Radiology were published and distributed to promote the publication and rebuild a subscriber list, which further strained Society resources.
Shaping an Identity as an Educational Organization
In 1924, RSNA President Rollin H. Stevens, MD, began shaping the RSNA's identity when he said in his Presidential Address: "The function of the Radiological Society of North America is largely educational. We should aim to make our educational work as broad and deep as possible" (3). Unfortunately, Society plans were postponed when tragedy struck 2 years later. Then Society president, Manly J. Sandborn, MD, who had served 6 years as the RSNA secretary, unexpectedly died in office and was replaced by the RSNA first vice-president, Bertram C. Cushway, MD. This sudden change in leadership was accomplished without rancor due to the effectiveness of the Society's bylaws, which had been drawn up, in part, to deal with such an event.
By 1927, Robert H. Lafferty, MD; John F. Herrick, MD; and W. Walter Wasson, MD, directed by RSNA President Edward R. Rowe, MD, established the Memorial Fund of the RSNA, in remembrance of Dr Sandborn, "to encourage better and more advanced work for the upbuilding of radiology" (4). Five trustees (the president and secretary of the RSNA and three past presidents) were chosen to obtain money and to select a reliable bank to administer the income. Although Society officers hoped a dollar from each member's dues could be set aside for the fund, this did not turn out to be possible because of the tenuous condition of RSNA finances. Instead, they asked Society members to voluntarily contribute to the fund.
Cofounder Becomes President 13 Years Later
By the latter half of the decade, the cofounders of the old Western Roentgen Society were still active and continued to support the RSNA. In fact, Edwin C. Ernst, MD, was the only cofounder of the Western Roentgen Society who served as an RSNA president. He attained that office in 1928 and was succeeded by Radiology Editor Maximilian J. Hubeny, MD, in 1929.
At the end of 1929, the stock market had crashed and the United States was at the beginning of what would be a decade-long Depression. Through the efforts and financial backing of its members, the RSNA had grown throughout the 1920s, but, as the 1930s began, the existence of the Society was threatened.

Storm outlast gallant Tigers
THE Melbourne Storm were pushed all the way but their class eventually shone through in a 26-12 victory over a gallant Wests Tigers side in front of 18866 fans at AAMI Park.
The Storm didn't hit the front until the 66th minute when halfback Cooper Cronk started and finished a movement down the right side with hooker Cameron Smith having a hand in the original play before Chambers burst down the sideline to find Cronk back in support.
The Storm started the match as red-hot favourites but in a weekend of so-called upsets it was the Tigers who started the match the better with a specific game plan which included quick play-the-balls and plenty of offloads. Hooker Robbie Farah kicked to the corners to negate Billy Slater's impact and the Tigers defence which has been suspect already in 2013 was up to the task throughout the opening 40 minutes.
The opening half was a stop-start affair punctuated by penalties which ensured Melbourne couldn't get into their methodical game plan. The Tigers opened the scoring after 16 minutes on the back of a dubious refereeing decision after it appeared Bodene Thompson took Storm five-eighth Gareth Widdop out after a kick which may be scrutinised by the match review committee. Billy Slater won the race to the ball and forced a dropout but was ruled offside and the visitors advanced the ball downfield. Early in the tackle count Farah was at it again out of dummy half and his perfectly weighted grubber into the in-goal was grounded by winger James Tedesco to give his side an unlikely 4-0 lead.
The Tigers defence continued to muscle up throughout the remainder of the half as the Storm threw everything they had at them but appeared incapable of finding a way through. Braith Anasta added a penalty goal in the 33rd minute before the amount of tackling the Tigers had done eventually took its toll in the shadows of halftime. Storm hooker Cameron Smith turned prop Siosaia Vave back on the inside where he muscled his way into the in-goal. Smith added the extras to send both sides to the break at 6-all.
The Tigers extended their lead back out to a converted try in the 50th minute although luck played a part in Benji Marshall's try. Robbie Farah hooked a cross-field kick back towards Mahe Fonua who spilt the ball before Ben Murdoch-Masila threw a perfect around-the-corner pass to his five-eighth.
Fonua redeemed himself in the 63rd minute when he finished off a typical Melbourne Storm try. Cronk, Smith and Slater combined with successive second-man plays before the fullback found his winger who scored out wide. Smith added the extras from out wide and from there it was all one-way traffic.
Further tries to Cronk and Waqa ensured the Storm started the season with a 5-0 win-loss record and sets up a mouthwatering clash with South Sydney at ANZ Stadium next Saturday night.
The Tigers will have to regroup and prepare to face the Dragons at the SCG next Sunday.

As viewers of HBO's mini-series Rome will know, emperors from Julius Caesar onwards sought to resist delusions of grandeur by employing a slave to whisper in their ear, "Remember you are mortal." Amid the pomp and circumstance of what many people now acknowledge to be the most sustainable period of growth in the steel market for a generation, a similar warning would be advisable.
The steel industry may not be the new Rome—although reports of its decline and fall have proven to be greatly exaggerated—and today's executives would be the first to warn of continuing threats to the current era of growth, but for an industry that less than 10 years ago had to petition the government to protect it from "unfair" foreign competition, the transformation has nevertheless been dramatic.
Steelmakers are raking in record profits as steel prices surge to levels that would have seemed unimaginable even six months ago and are being accepted by customers despite key sectors of the economy struggling with a recession. Meanwhile, imports, which for years restricted the ability of domestic mills to expand, are no longer as much of a competitive threat thanks to the (perhaps long-term) decline in the value of the dollar.
Even so, challenges remain. Among the most immediate is what economists like to call "demand destruction"—the threat that high prices will erode, or potentially destroy, consumer demand. Steel isn't easily substituted in many of its key applications, but no-one should underestimate the impact of $1,000-a-ton hot-rolled coil on end markets. Steel companies are talking to their consumers about high prices, and say that—so far—the reaction from buyers has been understanding. That needs to last.
There are other threats on the horizon, some of which are beyond anyone's control and others which are self-inflicted. The rapid growth of China and other developing economies is an opportunity as well as a concern; but if China's economy stumbles, and as a result its 500-million-ton steel industry is forced to start seeking new markets, it may take more than a lame dollar to keep the floodgates shut.
Events in Washington are as much of a worry as those in Beijing. The debate over climate change legislation is heating up and new laws seem likely to be passed early in the next administration. It's crucial that legislation does not damage the competitive advantage of U.S. manufacturing, but it's also clear that many people in the industry are bracing for exactly that outcome.
Energy policy is another area where Washington has taken its eye off the ball. $130 oil and $12 natural gas may be hard enough to swallow now, but if the lights start going out in parts of the South because of a long-term lack of investment in the energy industry, as some fear they will, large industrial users will be the first to suffer.
All that said, these are good times for the steel industry and for other parts of the metals world, too. Many of the current emperors of the steel industry will be taking the stage at AMM's Steel Success Strategies XXIII conference in New York in late June, and the mood of the event is set to be the most upbeat for a long time. The way the industry and the government deal with the threats to the current era of success will determine whether that optimism persists.

Fish & Game on defensive over spending $140K in dedicated funds on salariesBy PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 09. 2013 7:41PM
Members of the state's Fish and Game Commission are defending a decision to allow the use of dedicated habitat funds to cover the salaries of two employees.
The decision to use $140,000 from the state's Habitat, Game Management and Fisheries Habitat Accounts to pay for two biologist positions was approved in a unanimous vote this fall, drawing protests from sportsmen and organizations across the state.
"We were very adamant that this was a one-time thing," Fish and Game Commission Vice Chairman David Patch of Glen said. "There have already been several ideas on raising revenue to replace the monies taken from the funds."
Those ideas include a proposed $5 increase to license fees to replenish the fund. Patch said further discussion on the options is expected at the commission's meeting Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the Fish and Game offices, 11 Hazen Drive in Concord.
Patch said he can understand sportsmen are concerned about the decision to tap the funds.
"Quite frankly, there were members of the commission that weren't happy with using dedicated funds," he said. "This wasn't a move we made without a great deal of debate, but in the end we felt the effect the loss of these employees on the services provided by the department was too great not to take this action."
Dedicated funds are derived from fees paid by people to cover costs associated with certain services they benefit from or activities they participate in. Money in the state's Habitat, Game Management and Fisheries Habitat Account comes from the purchase of licenses by hunters and fishermen. A habitat fee, $2.50, comes from the first hunting license an individual purchases each year — fees are not tacked onto additional licenses purchased that same year. The state's Fish and Game website says the habitat fee is "dedicated solely to funding wildlife habitat management and protection."
The Fisheries Habitat Account gets $1 for every fishing license sold. The account can be used for many purposes such as hiring seasonal or permanent employees, contractors, equipment, land conservation, etc., and must always be used for the benefit of anglers through the assessment, management and conservation of fisheries habitats.
While uses for these funds are clearly spelled out, commissioners say they can legally be used to cover salaries.
"The Legislature gave us the legal authority to use them last summer when it passed HB2," Fish and Game Commission Chairman Tom Hubert said.
After HB2 was signed into law, Fish and Game Department Executive Director Glen Normandeau requested in August that funds be used to cover two salaried positions — a wildlife biologist and an aquatic biologist.
"I really had no choice," said Normandeau. "These positions are critical in getting work on the ground done."
Hubert said: "The executive director made the argument that it was becoming increasingly difficult to do everything the public expects from the department with less staff. Using the funds in this way was not our first choice, but given the dire consequences, we felt it was necessary to do at this time."
"Funding these positions is not going to bankrupt these accounts," said Jason Smith, chief of the state's Inland Fisheries Division, who added the positions "will more than pay for themselves by leveraging other sources of funds to contribute to high-priority projects. Without this staff, the ability to coordinate these additional funding sources will be lost."
Bill Carney, a former Fish and Game commissioner, said he's hearing from people on the issue.
"I've got calls and letters from legislators regarding the habitat fund monies being used to fund positions," Carney said. "There are a lot of upset people."

Body of suspected Boston Marathon bomber entombed
May 09. 2013 10:14PM
BOSTON (Reuters) - The body of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev has been entombed and is no longer in the city of Worcester, Mass., where it had been held at a funeral home, the Worcester Police Department said on Thursday.
The police did not disclose where the body had been moved.
"A courageous and compassionate individual came forward to provide the assistance to properly bury the deceased," said Worcester Police Sergeant Kerry Hazelhurst.
The 26-year-old ethnic Chechen died in an April 19 gun battle with police, four days after he and his younger brother Dzhokhar are suspected of having set off bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured 264.
The question of where to bury the elder Tsarnaev had proven to be a thorny one, with city officials in Boston and in neighboring Cambridge, where he lived, refusing to accept the body for burial.

Blog post
Mexicans, Machines and Place
The newest Drew Carey video at Reason.tv—Mexicans and Machines: Why Its Time to Lay Off NAFTA—is (IMHO) brilliant, and triggered more than a couple of thoughts about how technology and progress creates practical challenges for planning.
The newest Drew Carey video at Reason.tv-Mexicans and Machines: Why Its Time to Lay Off NAFTA-is (IMHO) brilliant, and triggered more than a couple of thoughts about how technology and progress creates practical challenges for planning.
The point of the seven minute clip, which is also an economically sound analysis, is the following: Machines have done far more to "displace" labor than international trade (and created tremendous economic value in the process). Criticism of NAFTA is really political campaign fodder, pandering to populist economic illiteracy. Why, Drew asks, if we're serious about the "threat" of Mexican (Canadian, Chinese, Indian .) labor on America's workforce, aren't we "demanding" a ban on the real culprit of technological progress? (Well, okay, there are some people in the Animal, Vegetable, Miracle/Kuntsler camp that probably want to do this, but, let's stay on this planet and in the mainstream for now.)
The question begs a discussion about the changing nature of the national economy and the implications for how we live and work in cities.
Let's take the first part of the political argument: manufacturing jobs are disappearing. This is true. Although manufacturing wages are going up, the number of people in those jobs is falling, both in absolute numbers and as a share of total employment. Here are the numbers for manufacturing employment according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics:
1980 19.2 million (21.1% of total nonfarm employment)
1990 17.8 million (16.3%)
2000 17.3 million (13.2%
2005 14.2 million (10.8%)So, not only do we have fewer people producing "things," our economy has shifted dramatically to a services based economy. Hold this thought.
Here's the other part of the story: The value of manufacturing output is going up. The following data can be found in the Economic Report of the President 2007 (Chapter 3; table B-8). The value of domestic production of durable and non-durable goods production is increasing dramatically:
1980 $1.1 trillion
1990 $2.2 trillion
2000 $3.5 trillion
2005 $3.9 trillionSo, we're producing more, with fewer people. Moreover, our production of tech stuff (computers, IT, etc.) is off the charts in percentages, an indicator of how much easier it is for people to use technology to do things not even contemplated in 1980. Remember, the first computer mouse was not distributed with a computer until 1981 (a Xerox, remember them?), the first commercially viable laptop computer wasn't introduced until 1981 and not produced on a large scale until 1988 (for the military), and the first practical web browser didn't come on the scene until the early 1990s. As I write this from my home office in Ohio, working for a think tank with 45 people on staff that is fully virtual, I'm reaping the benefits of these changes. My office is wherever I need to be. I pick my kids up from school or athletic practices, job when I want, and re-arrange my work day according to our family needs. What does this mean for planning?
Here are two questions that are crucial for the future of planning.Question #1: Given the current pace of technological change, how much can we realistically expect to plan in our communities?
Answer: Less. (I'm going to punt the question of "how much less" for now.)In an economy where most people have defined needs that don't change, such as getting to and from work in a factory, traditional urban planning is easier and more direct. In an era where economic growth is driven by a dynamic, complex, services-based economy, planning can't possibly handle the complexities imbedded in the thousands of choices made daily by families and workers. The focus is more on providing the environment for living (and working) than managing the detail of living. Along these lines consider the following two data points on two types of commuting: telecommuting (me) and public transit. 1) In 27 of the largest metropolitan areas, telecommuters outnumber transit users. 2) Telecommuting is growing far more rapidly than transit ridership.
Question #2: How important is urban planning in a dynamic, services based economy compared to a traditional economy?
Answer: More.
Richard Florida is correct-the so-called "Creative Class" is a bohemian group, interested in funky, eclectic urban environments. But they aren't alone. The services economy, and the wealth that comes with it, is releasing entire classes of people from the constraints of place. We no longer are bound to a neighborhood because we work nearby. We are not longer work nearby because our employer is located there. We have amazing mobility by virtue of wealth and the automobile. We have unprecedented ability to choose our homes and neighborhoods. We will be choosier and demand higher quality as a result. We are more sensitive to the quality of place than ever before.
So, the paradox is resolved by taking a 21st century view of planning. Planning is both more important and less important than before. It's more important because planners can influence the quality of place and even help customize it. (To test this out, talk to a planner in private practice.) But, traditional planning-rooted in communitywide master plans and detailed zoning-is on the way out. It can't adopt to the particular needs of place and the idiosyncracies households no longer geographically bound to home or work.

Approximately 17percent of Americans witnessed the launch live because of the presence of Payload Specialist

, who would have been the first Bague/a Womens Low Pataugas Discount Low Shipping Sale Footlocker Great Deals For Sale Low Price Fee Shipping Purchase Cheap sjCMuc
. Media coverage of the accident was extensive: one study reported that 85percent of Americans surveyed had heard the news within an hour of the accident. [5] The Challenger disaster has been used as a case study in many discussions of engineering safety and workplace ethics.
Each of the Space Shuttle's two Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) was constructed of seven sections, six of which were permanently joined in pairs at the factory. For each flight, the four resulting segments were then assembled in the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), with three field joints. The factory joints were sealed with asbestos-silica insulation applied over the joint, while each field joint was sealed with two rubber O-rings. (After the destruction of Challenger , the number of O-rings per field joint was increased to three.) [6] The seals of all of the SRB joints were required to contain the hot, high-pressure gases produced by the burning solid propellant inside, thus forcing them out of the nozzle at the aft end of each rocket.
During the
Space Shuttle design process
, a
McDonnell Douglas
report in September 1971 discussed the safety record of solid rockets. While a safe abort was possible after most types of failures, one was especially dangerous: a burnthrough by hot gases of the rocket's casing. The report stated that "if burnthrough occurs adjacent to [liquid hydrogen/oxygen] tank or orbiter, timely sensing may not be feasible and abort not possible", accurately foreshadowing the

Morton Thiokol was the contractor responsible for the construction and maintenance of the shuttle's SRBs. As originally designed by Thiokol, the O-ring joints in the SRBs were supposed to close more tightly due to forces generated at ignition, but a 1977 test showed that when pressurized water was used to simulate the effects of booster combustion, the metal parts bent away from each other, opening a gap through which gases could leak. This phenomenon, known as "joint rotation," caused a momentary drop in air pressure. This made it possible for combustion gases to erode the O-rings. In the event of widespread erosion, a flame path could develop, causing the joint to burst—which would have destroyed the booster and the shuttle. [8]
The sacrament has its roots in the Old Testament practice of offering sacrifices, which included a confession of sin (see
Womens Anchorage Ankle Boots Roxy Great Deals For Sale With Mastercard Online Factory Outlet Online SgLyD4PmDd
). We don't sacrifice animals anymore, but we can still give up our sins. The scriptures call this a sacrifice of "a broken heart and a contrite spirit" ( Mens Bradstreet Plain Toe Chukka Timberland Cheap Lowest Price Sale Real Low Shipping Fee CVERgql
). Come to the sacrament with a repentant heart (see DC 59:12 ; Moroni 6:2 ). As you do so, you will obtain forgiveness of sins and you will not stray from the path leading back to God.
As you examine your life during the ordinance of the sacrament, I hope your thoughts center not only on things you have done wrong but also on things you have done right—moments when you have felt that Heavenly Father and the Savior were pleased with you. You may even take a moment during the sacrament to ask God to help you see these things. If you do, I promise you will feel something. You will feel hope.
When I have done this, the Spirit has reassured me that while I'm still far from perfect, I'm better today than I was yesterday. And this gives me confidence that, because of the Savior, I can be even better tomorrow.
Always is a long time, and it implies a lot of focused effort. You know from experience how hard it is to think consciously of one thing all the time. But no matter how well you keep your promise to always remember Him, He always remembers you.
The Savior knows your challenges. He knows what it is like to have the cares of life press upon you. He knows how urgently you need the blessing that comes from always remembering Him and obeying Him—"that [you] may always have his Spirit to be with [you]" ( DC 20:77 ; emphasis added).
So He welcomes you back to the sacrament table each week, once again offering you the chance to witness before Him that you will always remember Him.

With those you home teach, consider how you use those quiet moments now, and discuss how you can increase your focus on the Savior. How can you use those moments to reflect on the things you can personally improve? What is the value of remembering the progress you make each week?

The mission's greatest discovery came when Schmitt exclaimed that he had found orange regolith, or moon soil. Cernan joked in his autobiography that he feared his crewmate had "overdosed on rocks", but took a look despite his skepticism.
The regolith was indeed orange. It turned out to be tiny bits of colored glass that likely came from a surface vent .
Just before going back into the lunar module, Cernan drove the lunar rover roughly a mile away so that the video camera could photograph the takeoff the next day. Next, he knelt and etched his daughter Tracy's initials — T D C — into the dust, according to his autobiography, "The Last Man on the Moon."
Years later, Cernan was looking at a painting done by fellow astronaut Alan Bean. It showed the Apollo 17 crew working near a massive boulder they had encountered during their mission. According to Bean's book, "Painting Apollo," Cernan said he wished he had put his daughter's name on the side of the rock. Bean, therefore, included her name on the rock in the painting, which is called "Tracy's Boulder."
As Cernan prepared to climb up the lunar ladder for the last time, he paused and spoke these words:
"As I take man's last step from the surface, back home for some time to come – but we believe not too long into the future – I'd like to just (say) what I believe history will record. That America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus–Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17."
He and his crewmates returned to Earth on Dec. 19, 1972.
Cernan recalled that he was tempted to fly on the shuttle, and he probably could have flown a couple of the early missions. But after being to the moon, he was not as inclined to do it. That's why he left the agency in 1976, he said.
"You wouldn't get me up there to do that. Once you've gone to the moon, staying home just isn't good enough."
Cernan left NASA for private business, which included starting the company The Cernan Co. for management and consulting in areas such as aerospace. While he did not fly the shuttle, he did report on it for ABC for a time. He also was chair of the board for Johnson Engineering, a company that specialized in space crew stations.
Speaking in his NASA oral interview, Cernan recalled a speech he had given in 1973 about Apollo 17's legacy. Most of his feelings on that hadn't changed three decades later, he said.
"I said, 'I've been tired of being called the end. Apollo 17 is not the end. It's just the beginning of a whole new era in the history of mankind.' Of course at that time I said, 'We're not only going to go back to the moon, we will be on our way to Mars by the turn of the century.' "

Emily Crabtree honored by Nixon, city of Waynesville
An ambitious 9-year-old from Waynesville not only was honored at a recent Waynesville City Council meeting but was also honored by Gov. Jay Nixon Wednesday for her dedication to a special non-profit organization.
Emily Crabtree was recently named the Goodwill Ambassador for the State of Missouri by the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
Emily is the daughter of Steve and Tara Crabtree and attends Freedom Elementary School.
She was diagnosed with Congenital Nemoline Myopathy at the age of 3.
Congenital Nemoline Myopathy is one of the muscle diseases covered by MDA's research and care programs.
"It was a honor that Mayor (Luge) Hardman recognized Emily at the city council meeting by giving her a proclamation from the city," said Emily's father, Steve Crabtree, a corporal with the Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop I.
On March 6, Emily traveled to Jefferson City to meet Gov. Jay Nixon where she was given a proclamation.
"Gov. Nixon spent quite a bit of time talking to Emily," said Steve Crabtree. "Emily felt very special and that means a lot to our family."
"I felt special because Governor Nixon let me sit in his chair behind his desk," said Emily.
Friday afternoon, the Crabtree family traveled to Rolla where they spoke to the Rolla Rotary Club.
For the past four years Emily and her family have been diligently working to raise money and awareness of MDA.
There are several ways to help out the MDA Foundation and support Emily.
One way is to visit Buffalo Wild Wings in Waynesville today in which 10 percent of all proceeds will go to MDA.
Another way is by participating in the 2013 MDA Muscle Walk to be held Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Dunnegan Memorial Park in Bolivar.
Those who are interested can either donate money or enter a co-team under the "Crabtree Crusader Team."
For questions, people may contact Emily's parents. Steve and Tara, at 573-433-1704 or search for the walk and register online at walk.mda.org.

THE OSCARS: Chris McMillan Video on Short Hair Styling Tips
The morning after the 2013 Academy Awards, Chris McMillan deserved to be sleeping; he had been running all day and night, creating red carpet looks for long-time client and friend, Jennifer Aniston, and for Oscar winner Natalie Portman. Instead, McMillan was capturing looks for the previous night, and recreating them. Using Living Proof products and the inspiration of short-haired starlets Anne Hathaway and Charlize Theron, Chris McMillan talks about how short is always chic.
"There's a short hair cut out there for everyone."

Decay Under Bracket
My daughter has had her braces on for 9 months with outstanding results! Yesterday she had a cleaning and has a small decay under one of back the bands. The dentist wants to know if the orthodontist can take the band and wire off to fix it if not, the dentist will work his best to fill it and keep an eye on it.
What do you think is the best option? I have never heard of taking the bands off for a filling. Doesn't that mess up the process?
Ask the orthodontist to remove the band and then your dentist can check it out thoroughly.

Transcript of Auburn Coach Gus Malzahn's Monday news conference regarding Iron Bowl and upcoming SEC Championship game [Provided by: Auburn Athletics Dept.]
Opening Statement…"Obviously, it is a big game. Our kids are excited about going to Atlanta and playing in the SEC championship game. We are playing against a very good, all-around team. We are talking about one of the best offensive teams in college football. They have the ability to hurt you with the run. They have huge receivers that can run on the outside. Their quarterback is a dual-threat guy. They present a lot of challenges in that area. We are also talking about one of the top 20 rush defenses in the country. They also have the ability with their front four to put pressure on the quarterback without blitzing, which is a sign of a good defensive team. They are extremely well-coached and well-disciplined. They make you earn it. It will be a big challenge for our team."
Helping his team move on from the win…"You have to be as honest with them as you can. That is our biggest challenge as a team. It was a very emotional win. It was a physical game, but we have to put it behind us and we have to put all of our attention on Missouri. We are talking about a top five team and a chance to win the SEC Championship. Every time we have challenged this team this year, they have risen to the occasion. They were pretty locked in last night at practice."
On the team dealing with adversity and success…"I think they have handled them well in both areas, whether it is adversity and that ability to win, and the way they have handled it after big wins. I think back to the Texas A&M game. That was a very emotional game for us. I was concerned how we would respond the next week and the guys came out and played well and were very focused. We need to do that same thing again."
On the outside distractions…"I think any time you have a week to get over the emotion of a game, it definitely helps. This is a challenge that is a little bit different. We only have one week. I really believe that any chance you get to go to Atlanta and you are playing for the SEC Championship, which is everyone's goal in this league, you shouldn't be distracted. You should be focusing up, and I really believe our players will."
Does he see a difference in his team in close games…"I think so. I think it is unique and it is rare that you have teams that believe they are going to win no matter how bad it looks. They still have bright eyes and belief in each other and that is what our guys have found a way to do. We talked all week before last week's game that we have to get it close to the fourth quarter and we will win the game. And they believed it and they found a way to do it.
"I think any time you win 11 games in this league -- the best league in college football -- you have to be a pretty good team. Teams that find a way to win, that is rare. Our team has found different ways to win and I am very proud of them."
Similarities between Missouri and Auburn…"When I look at Missouri, they do remind me of our team in a lot of ways. Their team has gotten better each week. They play together. They are very confident. They make plays when they have to. They have played in some big games, especially these last two weeks. They went to Ole Miss, which is a tough place to play, and they won. They played against the best player in college football in Texas A&M and they shut him down for the most part. So you are talking about a team that can rise to the occasion."
Nick Marshall's progression from August to now…"I am going to say this again, he has only been here for what, six months? What he has done to lead our team and put us where we are at is really unbelievable. He has gotten more comfortable, but that is to be expected. He was learning the offense the first four weeks and each week he is getting more comfortable. His teammates are playing hard for him. You are talking about the best players in America, and I think at this point in the season, you have to start mentioning his name with a bunch of these other guys."
Nick's decision-making on the field…"He is starting to protect the football in the passing game. He is making good decisions on when to not throw it, when to throw it away and when to take off. That is a sign of experience and a sign of a good quarterback."
Would he vote for Marshall if he had a Heisman vote…"He should be in the mix, no doubt. I don't get to watch other teams like all of you do but he should be in the mix. He is one of the better players in college football. He is leading our team."
On Tre Mason…"He is leading the SEC in rushing, which is extremely tough to do. He is a hard-nosed runner, a very physical runner. To get the rushing yards he did against the team last week, that's rare and he deserves a lot of credit."
Looking ahead to having the same starting quarterback for a second year…"It's going to be a lot of fun. It will be our first time to ever do that, but like I said, we will talk about that after the season."
The outlook for the quarterbacks entering this season…"We had our two quarterbacks in the spring and evaluated them, and nobody really separated themselves. Jeremy Johnson we felt like would be an excellent quarterback, and then we brought Nick in and we opened it up. It was all four guys and I think three weeks before the season we actually went live. It was all four guys, which is pretty rare. Nick won the job and he has gotten better each week."
Was quarterback the only position needing a change from last year…"Our offensive line has really done a great job; they have gotten better each week. Our receivers I feel like have improved each week. Tre Mason is running harder and better than he has ever run; Jay Prosch in my opinion is the best fullback in college football. So I think there are a lot of factors that go into that, but Nick is a huge part of our success offensively."
Marshall's ability to improvise…"When things break down, that's the sign of a really good quarterback. They make plays with their feet or they make plays with their arm, or they throw the ball away. I think that's a big key in being a successful quarterback specifically in our league."
Marshall's last touchdown pass in the Alabama game…"It's an outstanding play, I know we run it every week in practice. Coach Lashlee had him prepared but it was a great play, especially in the moment."
Progress of the defensive line…"Our defensive line has gotten better each practice, each game. Coach Garner has a lot of guys rotating in. He keeps them fresh and that's been a big key to our success also, our front four on defense."
On Tre Mason's performance against Alabama…"It's tough to get yards against those guys; it says a lot about him. I think he's one of the better running backs in the entire country, too. I think it says a lot about our offensive line because the offensive line won the battle up front."
On the recognition Chris Davis is receiving… "We are very proud of him but I think the key to this week will be how we handle success. It's great and all that, but we have to move on and put all of our energy on the Missouri Tigers, a top five team. We can pat ourselves on the back after the season."
On the Missouri defense…"They are very aggressive, they can run, they play together, they play extremely hard -- that's the thing that stands out to me. They make you earn it. When you watch them on film, there are very few cheap plays. They make you have drives put together. They are very impressive."
On Jeremy Johnson's role…"Kind of like I said last week, we have a plan in place for him every week but how the game unfolds determines a lot of things."
Has Malzahn ever been part of something like the fourth quarter…"I don't think I have. Probably every coach been a part of a situation like that with that much on the line, in that big of a game. I am very proud of our team to rise to the occasion. To come up big defensively, come up big offensively, and to come up big in special teams, that's the sign of a good team."
Offensive line coach J.B. Grimes…"I have known JB for a long time; he's an old Arkansas guy like me. We have had a relationship for a long time. When I got to Arkansas State he was the first guy we called and he did a great job last year -- I think we led our league in rushing. We brought him here and I think he's done a great job. I think he is one of the better teachers I've ever seen up front, but his biggest strength is the relationship he has with his players and they play extremely hard for him."
Preparing to play a team on a week's notice…"You try to put a little extra time in earlier in the week just to get familiar with them, but after you get going, teams at this point in the year, they do pretty much what got them there. Like I said, they're a very good football team."
Does Missouri remind him of any team Auburn has played this year…"Like I said, they are the second best rush defense in our league. That says a lot. They rush the football extremely well. They're a very good football team."
On watching Missouri's game against Ole Miss to pick up tendencies…"Ole Miss doesn't run the ball as much as we do, but they did a great job defending them. They played at Ole Miss and for the most part shut their offense down, so that says a lot."
How long did it take him to unwind Saturday night…"It took a little bit to unwind. No matter who we play, it takes me a little bit to unwind. (I have to) sit down and take everything in. (I) probably went to sleep around two o'clock. That's about normal, and got up the next morning early ready to go."
On how early he got up Sunday morning…"Pretty early."
Will Auburn follow the same schedule this week as a normal game week…"Yeah, we are going to keep everything the same."
Did he go to Waffle House Saturday night after the Iron Bowl…"No, I didn't go to Waffle House. It was a little bit too crazy out there. I barely got off the field, so I figured I would wait until things calmed down a little bit."
Did he know Waffle House had reserved a table for him…"I didn't hear all of that, but I was going to stay in that night."
Keeping the team from being distracted by all of the hype of the game and BCS speculation…"I'm really not worried about our team at all in that area. This game is big enough. We are playing for the SEC championship, so they are going to be focused on that. There's no doubt in my mind. We'll worry about all of that afterward and see what happens."
Steven Clark's performance in the Iron Bowl and the importance of field position…"There were two big punts down there. I think we got them on the one and the two. Those were huge plays in the game. Give them credit. They came out and they had good offensive plays to get off the goal line. Our special teams have been a strength of ours all year. They've got good special teams, too, so that will be a big key to the game. We are going to need to play extremely well on special teams."
On the importance of having a lot of players who are familiar with playing in the Georgia Dome…
"I think it will probably help. I think we played the Chick-Fil-A Bowl in 2011. 2010 there are too many guys still left off that team that played in the SEC championship, but hopefully the seniors that were there and played will be able to provide some experience for the younger guys."
What makes Nick Marshall different from any other quarterback that he has coached…"The fact that he didn't go through spring probably is the biggest factor"
What does he feel is most important about a quarterback going through spring practice…"I always say we are a quarterback-oriented offense. If our quarterback plays well, we play well, and if he doesn't, we don't. We put a lot of pressure on the guy as far as not just when the ball is snapped, but before the ball is snapped, after the ball is snapped and we rely on him a lot. I think it is a tribute to Nick. I think it is a tribute to Rhett Lashlee for getting him prepared. It's really something when you really think about it big picture -- it's really something what he's done."
Will he will wear a sweater vest on Saturday…"Oh, I'm going to wear a sweater vest. There's no doubt about that."
Did Jay Prosch have a failed assignment on Auburn's failed fourth-and-short…"It wasn't his fault."
On Auburn being picked fifth in the West and Missouri sixth in the East in the preseason…"I think both teams have gotten better each game. I think that the teams that get better each game find a way to win at the end, and I think both teams, you could say that about them."

Sigh. Usually midwives know somewhat more about breastfeeding than doctors. But not in all cases! Breastfed babies don't overeat, because they are in charge of the feeding. When they stop feeling hungry, their suckling pattern changes, going from intense and rhythmic to soft and relaxed. At that point milk supply slows or stops. This is totally different from the way a bottle fed baby eats, because the milk flow never stops no matter whether the baby is sucking for nutrition or merely for comfort, and because a bottle fed baby is not in charge of the feeding. Even the most sensitive bottle-feeding parent can tip the bottle up a bit, to get baby to hurry up or to take just a bit more milk.
Trust the baby. He knows when he is hungry and when to stop eating.
Since 4pm today, the baby has wanted to nurse forever. 1 hour plus sessions. My breasts are so soft, which is a sensation I am not used to. I am freaking out a little bit- did my one sided nursing/ block feeding diminish my supply?
I have been trying to let him go as long as he wants but he doesn't seem satisfied at all. I see wet diapers so that's one consolation. What could be happening? Is he hungry?
If there are enough wet diapers then he's getting enough. Just let him nurse as much as he wants. You can switch back and forth between sides. I doubt this is a supply issue, but even if it is his constant nursing will bring your supply back up. Try not to worry. This behavior is totally normal.
ETA: He could be comfort nursing. In which case, let him.
K. Sophia - Mama to my little lactivore, the amazing Mr. X (11/10).
totally normal. just let him nurse! make sure you have a book or computer, water, snacks, and settle in to enjoy what it's like to nurse without OS/OALD.

Cubs' Anthony Rizzo: Batting leadoff again Sunday
Rizzo is starting at first base and batting first in Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Rizzo, who recorded his 1,000th career hit in Saturday's game, has almost exclusively batted leadoff since the middle of July, with the exception an Aug. 5 game in which he entered in the seventh inning and batted third. Since moving to the top of the order, the 29-year-old slugger is slashing .358/.461/.600 with five home runs and 16 RBI.

The federal government won't put a time limit on the royal commission into institutional responses to child sex abuse or restrict the inquiry's scope, despite concerns it could drag on for a decade.
Labor chief whip Joel Fitzgibbon warned on Tuesday that the commission would be a "big and slow-moving beast".
"The royal commission could take a decade," he told ABC radio.
"And make no mistake, it will cause trauma for many individuals and organisations."
The commission will cover all religious institutions, state-based organisations, schools and not-for-profit groups such as scouts and sporting clubs.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced the inquiry on Monday, following fresh allegations that the Catholic Church and police covered up abuse in the Hunter region of NSW.
But Australia's most senior Catholic, Cardinal George Pell, hopes the wide-ranging royal commission will actually stop a "smear campaign" against his church.
"We are not interested in denying the extent of misdoing in the Catholic Church," he told reporters in Sydney.
"(But) we object to it being exaggerated. We object to being described as the only cab on the rank."
Cardinal Pell questioned whether victims were helped by "continuing furore in the press". He also asked if the police had the resources to deal with current abuse as well as historical cases.
Federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott backed the church's leadership to co-operate fully with the royal commission.
Mr Abbott, a high-profile Catholic himself, acknowledged there had been "shattering" revelations about a number of institutions over the years "including my own church".
"I know the current leadership of the church is determined to get to the bottom of this," he told reporters in Brisbane.
A number of legal experts have warned the royal commission will be overwhelmed by its breadth.
The senior counsel who assisted the Victorian bushfires royal commission, Jack Rush, said, "It's very important in a royal commission that things are done quickly."
But Ms Gillard insists the commission will run "as long as it takes to do it right".
"We should not set artificial limits on getting this done properly," she told reporters in Perth.
Acting Families Minister Brendan O'Connor argued Labor would be criticised if it "restricted the terms of reference to such an extent they can not inquire into this matter fully".
Shadow attorney-general George Brandis believes that while an indicative time limit could be set, it shouldn't be enforced.
"If the royal commissioner uncovers avenues of inquiry that need to be explored, well they just have to be explored," he told Sky News.
Independent senator Nick Xenophon argues the commission should be given a two-year deadline.
"It can't drag on for nine or 10 years as the Irish commission of inquiry did," he told ABC television.
However, the man who ran that Irish inquiry has warned against an early deadline.
"I would be backing off that," High Court Justice Sean Ryan told News Ltd.
"The government will give an awful lot of thought to selecting the right people to conduct the inquiry ... and I would trust those people to make that call."
